Media PRAISES Harris For BOMBING Interview, Say ITS GOOD She Was Bad w-Natalie Beisner | Timcast IRLMedia PRAISES Harris For BOMBING Interview, Say ITS GOOD She Was Bad w-Natalie Beisner | Timcast IRL
On this week's episode of The Nod, host Alex Blumberg is joined by conservative commentator Natalie Beisner to discuss the latest in the Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump vs. Elizabeth Warren debate, the Brazilian government is threatening to shut down Starlink, and more.
00:01:06.000Donald Trump keeps giving these speeches.
00:01:08.000Now he's saying, you know, this big pitch from last night that he's going to have government-funded IVF or insurance-funded IVF.
00:01:14.000I'm actually a fan of that, to be honest.
00:01:16.000But again, I'm not like a super-staunch conservative like many of you may be, or some of you may be.
00:01:20.000But who's Trump arguing to when he says this stuff?
00:01:24.000He's not debating Kamala Harris on issues.
00:01:26.000So this is what a lot of people on the right are complaining about.
00:01:29.000Trump is acting like he's in an argument to win voters when Democrats are simply voting for a color and not an actual person.
00:01:36.000And I mean, you could argue that they're voting for Kamala Harris because she's a black woman, but I mean like literally just vote blue no matter who.
00:02:20.000And then you've got Ian's Graphene Dream.
00:02:23.000Which has actually become very popular, so cool to see.
00:02:26.000And I'll tell you the quick story that when we launched, Rise of the Brutto Jr.
00:02:29.000was meant to be our principal flagship product, but once people started tasting all of our other coffees, Appalachian Nights quickly took over, regardless of what I promote.
00:02:37.000Something similar is happening with Ian's Graphene Dream.

00:04:26.000And I'll just mention the, uh-oh, atheist thing was not a dig at atheists, it's because this morning on the Culture War podcast, we had this conversation around simulation theory, God, and Ian was saying wacky, so it's, I'm sorry, I just have to plug this, because we had this PhD, artificial intelligence, like, professor. It was so fun. And he's like one of the top guys
00:04:45.000who's written a book on the dangers of AI and then Ian looks at him and asks him
00:04:49.000about like resonating frequencies and crystal sphere computers and this PhD guy
00:04:53.000looks at me like what is he talking about? And I started laughing. I'm like let
00:04:57.000me try and translate what Ian is saying.
00:05:01.000I said, I think what Ian's trying to ask is, the structure of the computer, does it change the way the algorithms function if it's using different materials or it's in different shapes?
00:05:35.000So, there's a bunch of stories related to this.
00:05:38.000Last night, Kamala Harris finally gave an interview.
00:05:40.000I think the total run time turned out to be 26 minutes, but that's probably including commercials or something, because some people have said 18 minutes.
00:07:09.000She's flip-flopped on fracking and no fracking.
00:07:13.000She's flip-flopped on basically all of her policies.
00:07:15.000She said in 2020 that she wanted to decriminalize border crossings.
00:07:18.000Now she's talking about enforcing the law.
00:07:20.000So we haven't actually learned a thing about what she wants to do, and I have no idea.
00:07:25.000The best the media could come up with is, That feeling you get when you watch that, which is vague misunderstanding of what she represents, it's actually a good thing.
00:07:34.000Cause it's, you know, cause she's normal.
00:07:36.000Well, this is also like a opposition to weird, you know, we're weird and they're, they're normal.
00:07:44.000But I thought it was interesting how she basically said, we're going to do all this.
00:07:48.000And then to her credit, Dana says, well, why haven't you?
00:07:51.000And she says, well, we had to fix the economy.
00:07:53.000So she essentially says, we're going to fix the economy, help the middle class.
00:07:56.000But we couldn't do it yet because we had to fix the economy, which we've done.
00:07:59.000It was like an odd opening to the interview.
00:08:02.000Was CNN's big Kamala Harris interview a dud?
00:08:03.000usual she doesn't actually say anything it's a lot of whoever you said that
00:08:07.000before the show started no Serge you said it that that it was she says a lot
00:08:11.000but she doesn't say anything is basically and contradicts herself left
00:08:15.000and right the closest we got was Washington Post was CNN's big Kamala
00:08:19.000Harris interview a dud or have the Democrats become a party that runs
00:08:22.000against the mainstream news media what The closest we got to them criticizing the fact that it was bad is they just asked whether it was good or bad.
00:08:33.000Can we get anyone in the corporate press to be honest and just say it was vague, it did not inform, we are uninspired by this woman?
00:08:44.000Also, not the Washington Post talking about the mainstream media as if they are not a part of that.
00:08:49.000I find this fascinating that, you know, I think there were a lot of political analysts who were getting frustrated with Kamala Harris.
00:08:57.000They will ultimately defend her, but you would watch these, like, NBC morning shows, right?
00:09:01.000And they would be like, well, it's been this many days and she hasn't done an interview.
00:09:05.000They make their bones off of getting these exclusive clips, being able to say, well, I sat down with with Kamala Harris and now only CNN can say that.
00:09:13.000And they have to say, well, we couldn't sit down with her alone.
00:09:16.000She had to bring her best friend forever, Tim Walz, with her.
00:09:19.000And also she kind of said nothing the whole time.
00:09:21.000And we sat in the dark and it was uncomfortable.
00:09:24.000I think it's kind of showing how much the Harris-Walls campaign just expects voters to turn out for them.
00:09:32.000They did this out of obligation, right?
00:09:34.000It's like if you have a friend that you're not really close to anymore, but you know you should probably keep in touch with them, you might set up a really quick coffee.
00:09:42.000But you're not going to spend a whole weekend with them.
00:09:44.000That's effectively what Kamala Harris did to the mainstream media today.
00:10:23.000I mean, she looks, even in this shot from Washington Post, she looks smaller next to Tim Walz.
00:10:28.000She does not seem to be in command of this interview.
00:10:31.000And I think there is a level of exhaustion, you know, Campaigning for president is extremely demanding and I don't think she is cut out for it.
00:10:40.000I think there's a reason that her first bid for the presidency didn't work out in 2020.
00:11:06.000And, you know, I know we spoke about this prior to hitting record, but I found the most offensive thing was Tim Walz saying that His reasoning for lying to everybody was bad grammar.
00:11:19.000I was more offended by that than anything else, because, and again, Dana kind of like pushes him on it, but I wish she would have asked a third question, because he didn't answer the question about why he lied multiple times about two separate issues, and then it's, oh, I'm passionate, and my wife says I have bad grammar.
00:12:04.000But I am concerned that whoever's advising him, even though he brought in Corey Lewandowski and things have improved in certain areas, he still thinks he's arguing to win.
00:12:13.000Right, so this whole IVF thing, which again we'll get into in a little bit, it's Trump going up on stage and he's saying, Kamala's bad for this reason, here's why you should vote for me for this reason, and Kamala's just...
00:12:24.000Dancing and cackling because people aren't voting for Kamala.
00:12:28.000I think I was talking to Ian earlier, he's not here, but he was telling me that when he talks to his friends and family, they say, just vote for the party.
00:13:54.000And so specifically what I'm saying is the reason why Trump is going for this IVF thing, it's government-funded IVF, it doesn't move the needle.
00:14:04.000What he's trying to do is he's trying to basically go at the media narrative they're presenting.
00:14:10.000They say Donald Trump wants to ban IVF.
00:14:32.000Now, maybe there's an argument for that.
00:14:35.000A regular person who doesn't really pay attention might have a walk-away moment when they're sitting there being like, Trump wants to ban IVF.
00:14:41.000And then someone says, here's a video of Trump saying he wants government-funded IVF.
00:14:46.000But what I'm saying is, should it be the case that he's actually trying to argue against them, outmaneuver them, like out-argue them, not some 5D chess, trick people into waking up from TDS?
00:14:56.000I don't think it's effective in this regard.
00:14:59.000And he needs to focus on, your prices will come down with me.
00:15:04.000And he's done a lot of that that's really, really good.
00:15:07.000I'm just saying in that one particular instance, I don't see it as effective.
00:15:10.000I don't know about yourself, but Trump did not wake me up at all.
00:16:04.000Well you're right because I actually do agree with you because she's still tweeting out, or whoever runs her account, he wants to ban abortion.
00:16:10.000And how many times, and we're all, a lot of conservatives are mad at him that he doesn't actually want to ban abortion.
00:16:17.000But so she keeps saying the lie and you're right that it doesn't work.
00:16:20.000But she needs him to be the villain, right?
00:16:22.000Everything bad that you fear most has to be Trump's fault.
00:16:24.000I mean, she'll refer to everything as a Trump abortion ban, even when they are state-level initiatives that he has no involvement in.
00:16:32.000But it always ultimately has to be Trump's fault, because that's how she is planning to win this election, by not presenting her own policies.
00:16:38.000That way you can never be mad at her, and by pointing the finger always at Trump as like, we must run away from this person.
00:16:43.000But I do want to know, how did you contract TDS?
00:17:03.000My parents were Republican, but we didn't really talk about it, which I know you address sometimes, Tim, that you think we should talk about a little more.
00:17:25.000So when you were like, I hate Donald Trump, did they push you on it or did they sort of let go because it's hard to have these conversations with family?
00:17:32.000No, it kept me grounded because I was like, they're lying about Trump supporters because my parents aren't like that, you know?
00:17:38.000So I cannot understand these people that are like, I don't talk to my dad anymore because he's a Trump supporter because I love my dad more than I hated Donald Trump and I hated, I hated Donald Trump.
00:17:45.000You know, but it kept you grounded of like, okay, so they're not all as bad as they say, because my parents aren't like that, you know?
00:17:51.000I wish more families kind of had that going on, but it doesn't seem like it.
00:17:55.000But most people don't give the benefit of the doubt if you're related or your best friend is a transporter.
00:18:01.000If parents do not transfer their principles to their children, their children will go towards whatever the media tells them to do, and the media is going to lie to them.
00:18:37.000And so, I mean, you see this with big corporations.
00:18:40.000They're less susceptible because they're not humans, but they still have this, you know, logical cost-benefit analysis of, hey, we're being attacked by more people on the left than the right, and the right's not buying our product anyway, so do whatever the left wants.
00:18:53.000So to a single human, they're thinking, all of my friends are liberal, I can't lose my friends and my family.
00:18:58.000And so they'll accept it, even if they think it's wrong.
00:19:02.000I know you guys have spoken on this but because my whole thing was just questioning COVID and BLM.
00:19:07.000I didn't like become a Christian conservative you know like I just had questions and you can't question you know and I know so many people have that same experience and I mean that's a cult so.
00:19:15.000We've got actually a big breaking story from just about an hour ago from the Boston Herald.
00:19:20.000Police taser subdue a man who stormed the media area of a Trump rally in Pennsylvania.
00:19:25.000We actually have the video, it's going viral.
00:20:13.000So the Boston Herald says, a man at a Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania stormed into the press area, was surrounded by police, and eventually subdued with a taser.
00:20:21.000The altercation came moments after Trump criticized major media outlets for what he said was unfavorable coverage and dismissed CNN's fawning for its interview Thursday, blah blah blah.
00:20:29.000The man made it over the bicycle rack, ringing the media area, and began to climb the back side of a riser where television reporters and cameras were stationed.
00:20:36.000People in the area tried to pull him down.
00:20:37.000The crowd cheered as a pack of police led the man away.
00:20:40.000So, you know, I don't see this as a guy attacking Trump, but the security breach is still worrying.
00:20:49.000And there are a lot of people who are concerned.
00:20:51.000In fact, there was a Secret Service agent who wrote a letter after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump saying, we can expect this to happen again before the election.
00:21:01.000And you see a story like this, and I'm kind of worried that Trump's security is at great risk.
00:21:07.000Look, this guy should not have been able to get in the press area.
00:21:10.000Maybe they're thinking Trump's not there, so it's not a high priority, but any kind of security breach at these areas are worrying.
00:21:43.000I feel like that logic follows and I get what you're saying, but I also feel like a lot of, I don't, I don't see very many Trump supporters wanting to disrupt a Trump speech.
00:23:21.000And then you take a look at Trump's victories in courts versus what they're trying to do.
00:23:25.000Jack Smith is told by the Supreme Court, you can't do this.
00:23:29.000So he files a new indictment and then appeals to try and go after Trump for the documents again?
00:23:34.000It doesn't matter what the Supreme Court says.
00:23:36.000They're going to stop at nothing to get Trump.
00:23:40.000We are two and a half weeks away from Trump sentencing.
00:23:44.000This is actually the only time I think the mainstream media does something, it's not really to help Trump, but it sort of offers him a level of protection because other than just a deranged person who feels it upon themselves and need to like do something violent, when Trump was attacked in July, he was ahead in the polls.
00:24:02.000It was very clear that he was going to dominate Biden in the general election.
00:24:07.000But now the mainstream media tells us all the time that, you know, well, Kamala is surging the polls and she's actually closing a lead and actually maybe she's ahead here.
00:24:14.000So in some way, someone who is feeling desperate doesn't feel the same kind of pressure they would have before under Biden.
00:24:21.000Other than just like ideologically TDS, he's horrible and like a screw loose kind of thing where they feel called to do something terrible.
00:24:29.000Some of the pressure is conveniently off.
00:24:33.000I think it's still so close though and people are worried.
00:24:35.000I just don't trust the Secret Service right now.
00:24:39.000I don't know what people are going to do.
00:24:41.000I'm just offering that as like an alternative, you know, things are a little bit more... Did you hear him say, I'm sorry, Ronald Rowe say it was a failure of imagination that we wouldn't have thought this would happen?
00:24:51.000And like, isn't that your job to have a little imagination that people do bad stuff?
00:24:56.000So yeah, I mean, I don't think people, I think both sides are worried.
00:25:00.000And if someone's crazy, someone's crazy and it'll still happen.
00:25:52.000I mean, the world is on the brink, you know, and so it's not just Donald Trump.
00:25:56.000Trump needs to win for a variety of reasons, one of which is what we are seeing internationally with the UK arresting people over social media, with Brazil's actions, which we'll get into in a little bit.
00:26:08.000You're not going to be able to travel internationally At all.
00:26:11.000And I'm not talking about public figures.
00:26:15.000And you post, uh, what is it, there's a podcast in Australia, I think the story was, this is what it was, it was in Australia, and in the podcast they referred to a trans woman as a guy.
00:26:23.000And it's like a, it's a guy, it's just a guy.
00:26:30.000And then the guy's like, no, you have to call me a woman.
00:26:31.000So the court said, take the episode, delete the episode.
00:26:34.000You're gonna be on your Facebook, in the United States, and you're gonna write something like, You know, this guy's a bloke or whatever.
00:26:43.000And then you're going to go on vacation to the UK and get off the plane and they're going to walk up to you and they're going to arrest you.
00:26:49.000Because that guy in the UK already said they want to extradite people from other countries and arrest them.
00:26:54.000And so there is a concern, I don't know how much I believe this is likely in the immediate future, that under a Kamala Harris term, presidency, and maybe two, who knows, she will actually say, okay, we have extradition treaties with the UK and you've committed a UK crime, so off you go.
00:27:29.000You were posting in a public forum, accessible by people in the UK, and you violated their laws, so now you have to answer to them.
00:27:34.000Because the UK is saying they want to extradite people from other countries.
00:27:38.000But even outside of that, you know, we're talking about the risk to Trump's life.
00:27:42.000I've been thinking about some regular guy is going to go on vacation to Ireland, he's going to go on vacation to Australia, he's going to get arrested.
00:27:51.000The state of the world is falling into absolute chaos.
00:27:56.000If Trump doesn't win, it's not just a question about is our country in trouble, our democracy, whatever.
00:28:02.000Are we going to fire bad elements within the FBI or something?
00:28:06.000It's quite literally World War III and global totalitarianism.
00:28:12.000Yeah, which, well, before I would have said I don't believe you, but after, you know, the things we've seen in the last four years, I feel like I have a little PTSD, like anything can happen, like innocence is lost.
00:28:22.000But that is why, and I know we're maybe getting to this, but that's why it bothers me a little bit when conservatives are arguing over things like abortion and IVF, because this is kind of a single issue election and the choice is clear, like fundamentally, regardless of how conservative you are.
00:28:36.000And I wish people could just get on board with that, because it is frightening.
00:28:41.000Do you want to live in a dystopian future or do you want to live in a free America?
00:28:46.000When Harris had her shortlist of VP candidates, one of the things that I heard often was that she was going to pick someone who had more international diplomatic experience that basically could bolster her where she is particularly weak, which is meaning that she's a terrible communicator and also doesn't have a lot of experience on the international stage.
00:29:09.000She then picked Tim Walz, who I don't think served any of that purpose, which means that they're running a ticket where they're saying, you know, you're looking around the world and you're seeing all these global crises, tension between China and Taiwan, Israel-Palestine, everything that's going on especially in Ukraine, and their current plan, if you're a Democrat, is to send Kamala Harris and or maybe Tim Walz to negotiate on our behalf.
00:29:33.000Is that enough to wake someone up or is it just sort of like close your eyes and pretend that she's a girl boss enough to handle it?
00:29:40.000Well, we've been sending Blinken and he's failing left and right.
00:29:43.000China's telling Blinken... He's not good, but at least like he has a resume behind him.
00:30:30.000I may have said something to that effect.
00:30:31.000What I would clarify now is the reason why I often say I'm not a conservative like I did in the beginning of the show is for the sake of conservatives, not liberals.
00:30:37.000Conservatives know I'm not a conservative, and they tweet at me all the time because the left will be like, they'll write these stories that Tim's a conservative podcaster, and then all the conservatives are like, no, he's not, he's a liberal, you're just nuts!
00:30:50.000And I'm like, so it's to their credit, I guess.
00:30:52.000But then the left says Tim's lying to conservatives to convince them that he's what a liberal should be.
00:32:34.000But also, I'm going to do something new on day one.
00:32:37.000But also, I've been here for three years.
00:32:38.000I mean, nothing she says is consistent.
00:32:40.000She can never really inspire confidence with this sort of wishy-washy, sort of defending herself, sort of, you know, acting as if she's a leader position.
00:32:50.000And I think when people who don't necessarily love everything Donald Trump stands for, Look at him.
00:32:57.000They realize that he is able to negotiate with world leaders.
00:33:00.000He is going to deliver on certain economic promises that he already had a stable economy.
00:33:07.000And so it's more like it's better to choose this person, the person who can't give you any information, even though every major outlet in America is begging her for the time of day.
00:33:17.000Let's jump to everyone's favorite subject, abortion.
00:33:35.000Donald Trump said that he's going to be voting no on the proposition in Florida, and so you've got a bunch of conservatives cheering him on now saying he is the pro-life candidate, and the reason they're doing it is because pro-life activists are threatening to withhold their vote from Donald Trump.
00:33:49.000During an interview on Thursday with NBC Politics, the former president was asked if he plans to support a new amendment on the Sunshine State's ballot this November.
00:35:00.000But again, I find it I mean, we're in trouble when we have pro-life activists looking at Trump and saying they're going to withhold their vote and Democrats literally taking it like, OK, I'm earmuffs for your kids.
00:35:15.000OK, if your kids are listening or in the room, you can earmuffs them now.
00:35:19.000Democrats are literally having gay sex in the Senate building and they don't care.
00:35:35.000This is crazy and I'm as pro-life as they come.
00:35:38.000I know I said I donated to Planned Parenthood.
00:35:40.000I don't even believe in exceptions for assault but that's not in this election cycle.
00:35:45.000It's so crazy to be fighting about this right now because every election is a choice.
00:35:50.000I'm for Donald Trump but every election between two men or people is a choice between the lesser of two evils.
00:35:55.000It's always been that way and if somehow DeSantis were our nominee because something to happen to Haley and Trump And he ran on, I'm going to ban abortion.
00:37:04.000I don't think I get why he's a moderate on the issue.
00:37:09.000Saying it should stay with the states is fine, but the more he says it, the more he brings it up, the more he opens up vulnerabilities.
00:37:15.000Out of sight, out of mind, as it goes.
00:37:18.000If Donald Trump did not comment on this at all, and instead said something about the border that was controversial, he would put something on Kamala Harris instead of on himself.
00:37:29.000They want it unrestricted across the board forever.
00:37:31.000Trump is now entering an argument amongst conservatives.
00:37:35.000Trump, instead of talking about abortion, could, as soon as someone asked him about abortion, he could have been like, man, it's tough to think about because of what's going on in the border.
00:37:44.000What we need to do is insert migrant issue, generate controversy about a migrant issue that forces Kamala Harris to respond or react to that will say Trump is lying or something else.
00:37:53.000But that's something that is more easily brought up in the minds of people because what Kamala Harris is doing is unpopular with the border.
00:38:02.000But Democrats want abortion, and women want abortion, so Trump is in a difficult position trying to argue this with anybody.
00:38:08.000Well, the Harris campaign brings this up because they think, you know, it rallies support among their base, and also it makes Republicans infight.
00:38:15.000Trump should, when asked about this, say, you know, abortion is such a complicated conversation, we all want to preserve life, and, you know, actually I think that's a really, that's a good reason why we should talk about what's going on in Israel-Palestine, because so many people are losing their lives there.
00:38:29.000And, you know, I would really like to see stronger leadership from the Biden-Harris administration.
00:38:33.000Like, he should push her on this issue because that's what Democrats infight about.
00:38:37.000Harris, she flip-flops on it so intensely, but there is a huge faction of progressive young voters, which, by the way, her major gains after the convention were among young voters.
00:38:47.000And that doesn't mean that they're huge gains, that's just who she gained with.
00:38:51.000But those are the same people who are saying, we're going to sit out.
00:38:53.000We would rather not vote at all than vote for someone who doesn't support Palestine.
00:38:57.000Imagine when they come up to Trump and they were like, I wanted to ask you about your position on abortion.
00:39:01.000That's generating a lot of controversy.
00:39:17.000If X is any indication, there's a lot of DeSantis people who were already not going to vote for him because of this, and they can't get over the fact that it wasn't DeSantis.
00:39:28.000It's just crazy to me because your options are codifying Roe.
00:40:16.000When I was growing up, it was safe, legal, and rare, and now they won't even say rare anymore.
00:40:19.000And it seems like a lot of conservatives just want to shift it overnight all of a sudden.
00:40:23.000So just because we compromise now doesn't mean God's going to smite us.
00:40:26.000Maybe Trump could pull a big ask on abortion, and then once Kamala says she wants unwritten abortions, Trump could say he wants mandatory abortion.
00:40:33.000Just go well beyond the Democrat position, and then force them to try and one-up him.
00:40:51.000They want women to be so scared that anyone who is Republican, whether it's Trump or anyone who runs for president after him, anyone who runs on the state level and is endorsed by Trump or vaguely reminds them of all of any sort of Republican man, they are actually a threat to your personal safety.
00:41:07.000Because you vote differently when you think you're under direct attack, and they've only been able to sell this, especially to women, with the abortion issue, which is also stupid, but that's a complaint against women, not against Democrats.
00:41:18.000Trump's trying to play the moderate, and it might be a good play, but he has to stabilize.
00:41:25.000He had, like, you know, yesterday saying six weeks is too short, now saying, no, no, I'm gonna vote no on it.
00:42:48.000If Democrats really cared about women or any of this, instead of pushing for IVF, they would talk about all of the lack of information women have when it comes to birth control, right?
00:42:55.000And they would talk about that nonstop, but it's not about that.
00:43:07.000If you're going to have the government pay for anything, and we're talking about IVF treatments that some people say it's $40,000 to $100,000.
00:43:12.000Sure, Trump says we're going to buy you a house.
00:43:16.000If Kamala Harris wants to play the game we're going to pay for student loans, despite the Supreme Court saying no, Trump should either play that game or not play this game at all.
00:43:23.000I was listening to this report today talking about Trump saying that he would be for the government paying for IVF.
00:43:29.000And this reporter was like, that would cost something like $7 billion.
00:43:33.000And meanwhile, the Biden student loan plan that just got blocked by a judge would cost $230 billion.
00:43:41.000I don't know if the government should be involved in subsizing everything.
00:44:34.000And I think infertility impacts Yeah, and I just think we should talk about it all the time.
00:44:39.000I don't necessarily think, you know, I actually feel like IVF is such an important issue in infertility in America that it shouldn't become a political thing.
00:44:47.000I get why, you know, they're latching on to it, but it's a big deal the fact that our birth rates are declining.
00:44:52.000It's a big deal that people are struggling with infertility and, you know, I'm not anti the science that goes behind all of these things.
00:44:59.000I just think we have to talk about it more.
00:45:00.000And I think there's a level of shame that goes with infertility where we don't.
00:45:04.000But that again, it's like this emotional tactic that Democrats have sort of employed to be like, they're trying to take something from you and we're the only ones who are going to protect you.
00:45:12.000And I just, I don't understand how that can be appealing to voters, but I was never a Democrat.
00:45:17.000Just last night, real quick, we had two great super chats that called in and IVF really helped them.
00:45:22.000You know, they're on our team, and they really appreciate IVFs and how they help them.
00:45:25.000I think I heard that, actually, listening to that, and it's very sweet.
00:45:28.000I mean, IVF changes lives, and you know, I know that embryos are destroyed, but at the end of the day, I think, morally, there's a fundamental difference between intentionally destroying a life because you carelessly had relations, because we all know what that leads to, versus trying to and desperately hoping that each embryo implants I don't think they should be destroyed.
00:47:32.000Or when he was asked about the picture thing, he's like, look, I don't know anything about it.
00:47:35.000Like, I just told the families if they wanted to take a picture, we could.
00:47:39.000And it seems kind of pathetic that This is the criticism.
00:47:44.000The person who went and honored the families of the fallen is the villain to the mainstream media, whereas Joe Biden, who's hanging out on the beach in Delaware, which might I remind everyone is in driving distance of Arlington National Cemetery, and Kamala Harris, who I think was at the White House that day, just didn't show up at all.
00:48:11.000Well, I'm pretty sure if you, well, I mean, if you were an honest person, you would be more concerned with why your candidate or the current president is not there than with Trump being there and possibly disbehaving or whatever it is, misbehaving.
00:48:25.000You would be more concerned with your own candidate and their absence.
00:48:28.000But this is the guy who, I'm pretty sure if you look up Snopes fact check, it says he checked his watch during that ceremony.
00:49:34.000They don't see any sort of like patriotic duty or any sort of level of necessary respect.
00:49:40.000Do you think that's one of the reasons Democratic voters don't pick up on why this spin is so disrespectful to the families of the soldiers?
00:49:48.000I think that on the other side, there is a fundamental lack of respect and appreciation for this country.
00:49:54.000The first time I ever felt patriotic, and I'm not proud of this, I'm ashamed of it, was when I walked away from the Democratic Party.
00:50:00.000I didn't feel pride in my country before that.
00:50:02.000And again, I want to emphasize that this wasn't like an overnight shift where I just jumped from one pot to the other, but it was like exciting.
00:50:09.000For the first time in my life, I felt proud.
00:50:10.000I bought all this like patriotic gear, and I had never felt that before.
00:50:14.000And I'm just, I think a lot of people from my generation are like that.
00:50:19.000I mean, maybe it's also a regional thing, like I said.
00:50:22.000They do not respect this country, Democrats.
00:50:51.000You cook a black woman and a brown woman dinner and they tell you how racist you are.
00:50:57.000And one of these women, I don't remember her name so I'm gonna butcher it so I won't say it, but she comes right out and says, and it's not the first time she says it, but she says it in the documentary that this country is trash, there's nothing worth saving.
00:51:10.000I think that is something that is rampant on that side, and that's why they want to burn it all down.
00:51:16.000So I think that ties into this lack of respect for the military, but then of course they want to grandstand that they're the ones respecting.
00:51:23.000Wouldn't it have been nice if they all showed up?
00:51:27.000You know what's funny is we have, one of the people who handles bookings for our various shows sent me just like, here's a list of people that we've reached out to who are on the left.
00:51:43.000Libertarians hate Trump and they absolutely will come on the show.
00:51:50.000They often request to come on the show and they will sit here and they will talk about why they do not like Donald Trump and everything he did wrong and Clint Russell will argue with me over it.
00:52:00.000He has no issue whatsoever defending his worldview.
00:52:05.000He knows what he's talking about and then we disagree on what the ultimate, like what are the best moves to make and liberals won't go anywhere near it.
00:52:14.000It's fascinating to me because that shows something.
00:52:16.000When you have these Mises Caucus-type libertarians who are like, Trump is bad and here's why, and I'm like, wow, you make some really great points, however I'll counter with these points, and they'll say, well, you know, I can respect that, but I just can't get myself to that point because I think Trump does a bad thing.
00:52:29.000Liberals don't know anything about what's going on.
00:52:40.000So when they go on social media and they post garbled trash saying Trump is bad for these reasons, and then I say, hey, How about I fly you out, you sit down, and we have that conversation.
00:52:51.000Because they know, they don't know what they're talking about, and if they sit down in this chair and I pull up the article, they're gonna go, oops, I was wrong about that.
00:53:00.000And that's the funny thing about the libertarians, is the response from like, I love this, Dave Smith.
00:53:35.000Dave Smith says, the Abraham Accords put pressure on Gaza and Palestine.
00:53:40.000It cut them out of the negotiations, and then it created this moment where, of course, they were going to go nuclear.
00:53:46.000And then it puts pressure on Iran, and it bubbles up the tensions.
00:53:51.000I don't want to misrepresent his views, but he ultimately said something to the effect of this, and that the Abraham Accords were not ultimately good, and that I disagree with him.
00:54:00.000But I have tremendous respect for anybody who wants to come on and say, I just genuinely don't agree it was a good thing and I can give you my exact reasoning.
00:54:08.000The difference is, the overlap between the Mises Caucus Libertarians and MAGA is overwhelming.
00:54:15.000And so now the Mises Caucus guys, I don't know, not, probably not Dave, but most, I think most of them are saying they're probably gonna vote for Trump.
00:54:21.000Or at least many of the prominent ones are saying we're voting for Trump.
00:54:30.000But it is the reality that the left is the cult.
00:54:32.000And the evidence you need is that they are unwilling to step outside the confines of their cult.
00:54:38.000You're so correct that they're uninformed, and that's why I don't think they're evil.
00:54:42.000You know, I think the people at the top are evil, but people are really, really uninformed, and they think they're on the right side of history, and they're doing the compassionate thing.
00:54:49.000But that would be, you could argue the individual is not evil, but it's still the banality of evil.
00:55:42.000Like, and I'm just, my immediate reaction was, you should tell them, if any member of Congress says to any of our people, isn't Tim anti-Trump now?
00:55:52.000When they're being asked to come on the show, the response should go, and?
00:56:08.000You know, there are weak-willed people, but I look at it like tendencies and, you know, the religion argument, actually, we talked about this this morning.
00:56:19.000I said, a lot of atheists are arguing against stupid theists and not smart theists.
00:56:26.000And so they often say things like, I just don't believe in fairy tales, which is an argument against stupid people, but it's not an argument against people who believe in God and are talking about, say, like the logos of the universe and the structure and nature of reality.
00:56:39.000But it's fair to say that just because someone Is voting for Trump doesn't mean they know at all what they're talking about or that they are smart or correct in any way.
00:56:50.000And so, you know, the challenge then becomes for a lot of these Democrats, that's who their target is going to be.
00:56:57.000They're going to see 10,000 of the stupidest Trump supporters, and they're going to hyper focus on the reality, though.
00:57:11.000And you'll see the men on the street, interviewers, and they're like, Trump's good, because he's gonna bring freedom.
00:57:16.000And then they go, oh, this person's so dumb.
00:57:17.000Well, you know, maybe that person is dumb, but at least they're accidentally in the right direction.
00:57:23.000The Democrats overwhelmingly are ignorant about what's going on and unwilling to correct it.
00:57:29.000And those people that might be dumb, they're going to wear American flags, and they're going to root for America, and they're going to root for not wars, whereas their side is not on that side at all.
00:57:36.000They're not rooting for a common good.
00:57:38.000Yeah, I was going to say disgusting earlier when you said what word you're going to try to think of, because my experience with folks on that side, when they find out that I'm a veteran, they are very vitriol.
00:58:07.000And that was over a decade ago at this point.
00:58:10.000I was going to ask you, you know, as you have come out more publicly with being conservative or, you know, with the shift in your political views.
00:58:19.000Do you get people from your life, from, you know, your past as more of a Democrat who, like, will sort of whisper to the side, like, yeah, I kind of think that makes sense or, like, have some kind of wanting to talk about the other side?
00:58:32.000Or for the most part, do your friends kind of ignore the political transition?
00:59:36.000Or they're helpful because I don't always know what the perspective is and they're open to talking with me.
00:59:41.000Like, well, this is why I feel this way about this issue.
00:59:43.000But I do have, there's one in particular, like childhood friend who got super radical.
00:59:47.000And I remember last year I was visiting her and she Held it in for a long time and then like burst out like, you say so much stuff I agree with and I don't understand how you can be a Republican.
01:00:49.000I think that's part of why COVID was the way it was because it's scarier to think people in big positions of power are lying to us than it is to be afraid of a virus almost.
01:01:00.000There's scary stuff going on and if you have blinders on and you're ignorant, I don't think it is hard to be wrong for the majority of the people on the right.
01:01:18.000When he did that interview with that trashy comedian, and he said, should businesses be required to adhere to, like, Someone's pronouns or whatever, and he's like, no, they shouldn't have to do that.
01:01:31.000A business should be allowed to kick anybody out if they want to and not service them.
01:01:34.000And then he says, what about if they're black?
01:02:35.000And then he posts a link to the story from Newsweek saying, you know, Donald Trump is flying on a refurbished Jeff Epstein playing and he goes, is this true?
01:03:08.000The greatest evidence against the cult, a good example, as you mentioned, the vaccines, his own audience at rallies boo him over this, which is, that is big evidence, but it's the primary.
01:03:20.000It's Vivek, Nikki, and Ron DeSantis, and it was a brutal primary where the right was in disarray over who the nominee should be, and then afterwards, I'll give a shout out to Defiant Ls, that's a really great Instagram and Twitter account, but they got one bad one, they get some bad ones, and it was a guy who tweeted, Screw you MAGA people.
01:03:45.000And then two days later, he says, I have no choice.
01:03:48.000I'm going to be voting for Donald Trump.
01:03:49.000And they called that an L. And I'm like, that's a win.
01:03:52.000That is a man recognizing he's in between a rock and a hard place, and he's making a difficult decision, which is what strong-willed people must do.
01:04:00.000And he later responded to it saying, I do not like Trump, but I recognize the threat to this country, and I'm willing to overcome my own emotions and anger to support the man that I think will do a better job, even though I'm not a fan of his.
01:05:02.000We're supposed to be the ones saying like, come over here and have a beer with us while the Democrats are screeching, fall in line or else.
01:05:11.000And there's been a few people I've seen who are criticizing him for surrounding himself with Democrats, with Tulsi and RFK.
01:05:18.000And it's just we're gaining more than we're losing.
01:05:20.000The very small conservative religious people who I actually agree with, the ones we're losing, they do not compare to the ones we're gaining.
01:06:05.000And she said, my team never sleeps, and they made this.
01:06:09.000...from illnesses such as TDS, also known as Trump Derangement Syndrome?
01:06:14.000Do you dismiss or deny the current issues facing our country, such as historic inflation, illegal immigration, corporate corruption, World War III escalations, and the chronic disease epidemic?
01:06:25.000Are you willing to elect someone who was the least popular vice president in modern history, and who offers no policy or vision for America, simply because your brain keeps telling you anyone but Trump?
01:06:36.000If so, you might be struggling from TDS.
01:07:01.000Yes, I now realize the media is run by the Democrat elite, who are a corrupt oligarchy that censors free speech, silences political opponents, supports forever wars, and abandons democracy by anointing its candidates.
01:07:16.000If you enjoy being lied to about your president's cognitive abilities, support Orwellian totalitarianism, or are excited about communist fiscal policy, independence may not be right for you.
01:07:27.000Common side effects of independence may include an awakening of rational thought, successfully identifying propaganda, freedom of choice, loss of hatred, anti-narcissistic behavior, and love of democracy.
01:07:39.000I used to blindly hate whoever my party was running against.
01:07:42.000I didn't care about facts or policy because I was hopelessly indoctrinated.
01:07:46.000With independence, I'm much more interested in policies that uphold democracy, and I truly care about the health of our country and its citizens.
01:07:53.000Ask your doctor if independence is right for you, and enjoy your freedoms once again.
01:07:59.000I just want to point out how I love that Democrats radicalized R.F.K.
01:08:40.000Okay, I'll just tell you, they call it the red suppository.
01:08:43.000When you get red-pilled in a short amount of time to an extreme degree, they're basically saying the Democrats took it and just, you know, right up.
01:08:53.000But for real, it's like, RFK's been going at this for less than a year, right?
01:08:57.000Like, his campaign, he was trying to run in a primary, and he would have won a primary, and so they colluded to keep him out, and then they try to censor him.
01:09:07.000They censored him during COVID, and he's sitting here being like, What is going on?
01:09:38.000Like when she did the interview right before RFK withdrew, she sounds like betrayed.
01:09:45.000Like the party that you had been, the party that she had patron, that she had supported, that they, it wasn't just like, oh, we don't like you.
01:09:55.000They went above and beyond to make it more difficult and to try and bring down their efforts because there are conversations, I guess, the Democrats don't have.
01:10:02.000I mean every single walkaway story has betrayal as the common theme whether they say it or not is what that's what it feels like because you felt like you were on the right side this is the party of compassion we're for women we're for minorities it's a betrayal it feels like a punch in the gut and that's why whether you call it a walkaway story or not like that's that's the common thing and it's like what Elon Musk said that I didn't leave the party or the whatever that meme that he posted I mean yeah Democrats are radicalizing People to be quote-unquote right-wing, whatever that means, just to be not Democrats anymore.
01:10:33.000Maybe they're pulling an Ozymandias from Watchmen.
01:11:00.000He simulates an alien invasion because the U.S.
01:11:03.000and Soviet Union are on the verge of nuclear annihilation.
01:11:06.000And so by having an alien attack the world, it forces the U.S.
01:11:10.000and Soviet Union to unite against a common enemy.
01:11:13.000And so maybe Democrats just seem so apocalyptically bad and evil.
01:11:17.000It's because they're trying to unite liberal and conservative Americans.
01:11:20.000Because like the fact that RFK Jr., a Kennedy, is now endorsing a Republican, and Trump is a moderate himself, and these former Democrats are all now coming out and supporting Trump.
01:11:31.000Maybe the end result is the factions of America that were liberal and conservative are now unified.
01:12:41.000And that's the frustrating thing about Trump being like, I'm going to be this for this policy or that policy.
01:12:46.000The reason why Kamala Harris sounds like a bumbling moron who spits and sputters and has no idea what you're talking about is because, you know what she should do?
01:12:56.000When she does her next interview, she should just be like, Half glazed over, just not really paying attention, and when they're like, what's your plan for the first, you know, hundred days?
01:13:37.000I mean, it doesn't seem like they're trying, but they try, I guess.
01:13:41.000I would love to do that at some point.
01:13:42.000I mean, maybe if my life took a different arc, eventually just climb my way up into a political party, run for office, and then just totally go nuts.
01:13:49.000And then just be like, yeah, we're basically here to steal power.
01:13:53.000The goal of my campaign is so that I can get insider information and control policy that will allow my friends in Congress and the Senate to stock trade beneficially for their families.
01:14:02.000And then we're all going to get property at Martha's Vineyard, and we're going to enjoy, I don't know, like a $200 bottle of champagne.
01:14:08.000And the middle class can screw off all they care.
01:14:12.000It's so sad, though, because you are actually so, I mean, more right than ever that nobody voted for this person, and here we are, like, that is crazy.
01:14:20.000That is crazy that not a single American voted for this person.
01:14:44.000The interviewer says, OK, well, I mean, what if this interview does actually end up going
01:14:48.000viral and people end up hating you and despising you over it?
01:14:51.000My response is, oh, I mean, it doesn't matter.
01:14:53.000The governors and the judges in these swing states are going to shift things in our favor no matter what happens.
01:14:59.000No matter what any Republican does, if they file a lawsuit challenging the results, our ballot harvesters are going to mass produce and sometimes rerun the ballots twice.
01:15:06.000And then if you file a lawsuit, the Democrat judge who's on our side and wants me to win, we'll just tell you to screw off and you can't do anything about it.
01:15:11.000And then we'll just arrest anybody who tries to stop us.
01:15:54.000I mean, whatever happens procedurally in Pennsylvania is really important because, you know, Trump has a path to victory through the other states.
01:18:58.000We already know this, but Christians need to be in politics because sometimes, like me, I was not a Christian first, and then I was like, well, obviously I'm going to vote Republican.
01:19:06.000I was a conservative first, a Republican, or I started leaning this way, and then I became Christian, you know?
01:19:14.000And so we shouldn't discount being in the culture war and being in politics because I think that the way policies happen, it brings people to God, it wins souls for Christ.
01:19:26.000Yeah, I'm not a Christian, but I think with wisdom and actually trying to listen and understand and understand the reality comes a better understanding of God.
01:19:36.000And so It's weird that people like there's a lot of people that tweet that I'm an atheist.
01:19:41.000And it's like the weirdest thing, because I'm like a fervent pro God, but just not in any organized religion.
01:19:47.000I mean, they tweet everything about you.
01:20:36.000I don't feel it would be right for me to go and attend something as a community thing, but this is why when we're doing the coffee shop stuff, I want to get these locations as many as we can all over the country to create a place for people to congregate.
01:20:48.000You know, there's a lot of people who don't go to church, a lot of people who aren't Christian necessarily.
01:20:53.000I think Christians probably would appreciate non-Christians coming to church.
01:20:59.000But I think a halfway point would be we want to do this thing called Saturday Morning Cartoons.
01:21:04.000Open the cafe, bring your family, bring your kids, 6 a.m., 7 a.m.
01:21:07.000or whatever, and there's going to be a catering sandwich, you know, like pancake, sausage, eggs, and the kids can play and watch wholesome content, but then the parents get to meet each other.
01:22:29.000From the AP News, top Brazilian judge orders suspension of X platform in Brazil amid feud with Musk.
01:22:35.000Additionally, Brazil institutes a $9,000 per day fine for anyone who uses a VPN to access X. This is absolutely insane.
01:22:47.000The government of Brazil has gone crackpot totalitarian in an effort to stop people from being able to see information outside of their control.
01:22:57.000He has banned a social network and is threatening to fine $9,000 a day.
01:23:02.000It's basically the average salary of a Brazilian.
01:25:10.000And there was a Democrat who did a similar thing, but they said because his included a number, it made his illegal and hers wasn't.
01:25:17.000What other social media platforms does Brazil allow right now?
01:25:20.000I'm not super familiar with their tech, but they must do something to comply that X is not willing to do.
01:25:29.000China has basically scared every other platform away.
01:25:32.000They're able to only have Basically sanctioned social media platforms by deterring everyone else by making it difficult for them to operate there.
01:26:05.000What is the reason Brazil gave misinformation?
01:26:08.000Yeah, they want them to censor people.
01:26:09.000Right, so Chris Pavlovsky has this tweet from December saying,
01:26:12.000Recently, the Brazilian courts demanded we remove certain creators from Rumble.
01:26:16.000As part of our mission to restore a free and open internet, we have committed not to move
01:26:19.000the goalposts on our content policies. Users with unpopular views are free to access our platform
01:26:24.000on the same terms as our millions of other users.
01:26:27.000Accordingly, we have decided to disable access to Rumble for users in Brazil while we challenge the legality of Brazil court's demands.
01:26:32.000And they're going to say they're disappointed.
01:26:35.000I mean, I'll pull this up because I think it was...
01:26:38.000They say Justice Alexandre de Moraes warned Musk on Wednesday night that acts could be blocked in Brazil if he failed to comply with his order to name a representative and establish a 24-hour deadline.
01:26:49.000The company hasn't had a representative in the country since earlier this month.
01:26:52.000Elon Musk showed total disrespect for Brazilian sovereignty and, in particular, the judiciary, setting himself up as a true supranational entity and immune to the laws of each country.
01:27:02.000So what they started doing too, this is crazy, they issued a fine, and when X ignored it, they seized the money from Starlink, an entirely different company, just because Elon is involved or whatever.
01:27:49.000Yeah, I mean, it's kind of funny, going back to the abortion thing, how some of the biggest victories in the history of, you know, or I should say in our lifetimes or in the past three generations, and they're demanding more or else and willing to allow, or at least threatening to let Kamala win unless they don't get what they want.
01:28:06.000Yeah, but they still let you speak about it.
01:30:02.000I mean, I don't know if I would say even grifting is the right word.
01:30:04.000If I literally just said, X is going to be my platform where I post things, and I'm going to post for the purpose of having a conversation, grifting I think is different.
01:30:14.000Grifting is like intentionally being antagonistic to make people respond to you, whereas I think genuinely making a post for positive interaction.
01:30:24.000But if I were to actually focus on the platform, I could probably make, you know, Really good money, considering what I already get right now.
01:31:26.000I've said to everybody, because there have been people who take clips from IRL, and then I've had people ask me, like, do you mind that we post a clip from the show?
01:31:37.000So everyone listening, post clips from the show.
01:31:40.000And then when that generates comments and controversy, like for me, I'm like, if people start posting clips of Timcast IRL on X, And they generate views and then make money off those clips?
01:31:55.000That's me getting free advertising that I would not otherwise get and I'm not gonna make money off that clip on someone else's page anyway.
01:32:02.000So go ahead and clip the show and post it on X. Post clips.
01:32:20.000But that you don't need my permission for.
01:32:22.000If you want to do fair use mashups where you make us say silly things, by all means.
01:32:25.000I'm just saying, if there's a part of the show that you think is important... Actually, to be honest, you don't even need permission to clip the show.
01:32:37.000Like lefties who go in there and then they'll purposefully record the show and then start sharing clips from it.
01:32:43.000And it's like, well, now you're infringing on our market.
01:32:44.000Because the member show, you got to be a member to watch.
01:32:48.000Nobody shares the member show, do they ever?
01:32:51.000I'm a big Tim Cass fan, and it's always praiseworthy.
01:32:55.000No, but I mean, like, even for the member show, I have no problem with someone...
01:32:59.000Like, there's questions about copyright as it pertains to the membership that I can't say.
01:33:03.000I can say if you're watching this show right now live on YouTube, you can take clips from it and post them wherever you want, and if you make money on X from doing so, congratulations, I hope you make more.
01:33:11.000But for the members thing, I can't say that.
01:33:14.000Though in many instances, if there is something newsworthy or comment-worthy, it's fair use, to a certain degree.
01:33:20.000I've seen people act in ways that's not really fair use to take our show, which is behind a paywall, and then use it to make content or whatever.
01:33:29.000They claim it's fair use, but I think it's actually probably not.
01:33:47.000But there are certain circumstances where it's certainly not newsworthy and leftists are pulling clips that just basically infringe on the market.
01:37:43.000And he's a pastor and he's a Christian musician.
01:37:47.000And we were discussing simulation theory, the nature of existence, God, and Ian was saying crazy things that made the scientist look very confused, and it was hilarious.
01:37:56.000There was a point where Ian was like, if, like, we put a computer in crystals, or, like, it's like a circle, and, like, the pattern is, is it gonna change the outcome?
01:38:05.000And then the Roman just, like, turns his head and looks at me, like, help, what is he saying?
01:38:09.000And I was like, wait, wait, let me translate, let me translate.
01:38:12.000He's saying, does the structure of the computer by which you put the AI in alter the AI itself in some way?
01:38:18.000And he was like, oh, you're talking about substrate.
01:38:21.000It doesn't matter what the computer is, the algorithm will operate.
01:38:45.000It reminds me of when toddlers developed their own words for things and their parents know what they're talking about.
01:38:51.000Like, you know what Ian is asking for.
01:38:53.000He said, he brought up Nassim Harriman and the Schwartzfield something proton, where it's- protons are actually two protons of the black hole.
01:39:02.000And then once again, Roman just like looks over at me like, And he didn't make that up.
01:39:07.000That's actually something I think Nassim Harriman is famous for, but people call it pseudoscience.
01:39:19.000And this was just, it was a wild show.
01:39:22.000And everybody was like, go long, go long, but we can't go long.
01:39:24.000I was expecting like a three hour one.
01:39:26.000But you weren't talking Civil War with Andrew Wilson, you know, Civil War.
01:39:31.000Well, that's because with Andrew Wilson, we had a conversation, and at the end of the show, a new debate emerged.
01:39:37.000Whereas with this one, we spent two hours talking about simulation, and then we sort of got to that point where I was like, we could probably go on for a long time, but it was slowing down.
01:39:46.000It was like, it made it right to its end.
01:40:20.000Congratulations, and I will stress, Stacey, for you and Mark, you are the envy of the majority of people in existence.
01:40:29.000I love when we get super chats like that.
01:40:30.000High school sweethearts with a loving family and living their best lives.
01:40:34.000We always super chat in with your anniversaries, the fact that you're in the hospital with your wives who are giving birth, although maybe you should focus on what's going on there.
01:40:46.000There's a lot of positivity going on here, which is nice.
01:40:49.000Big7588 says Kamala's a disgrace to women everywhere.
01:40:52.000First she was old Joe's trophy coffee girl.
01:40:57.000Now she is the left's servant on a leash.
01:41:00.000Needed a man to follow her around and keep her in line.
01:41:03.000It is crazy that the the girl boss queen of feminism right now had to bring a man to an interview and not even her husband like just this other guy she sort of picked up recently.
01:42:12.000And so that's why we often don't promote, we don't announce who our guests are going to be.
01:42:17.000Now we've been doing it the members only and for the members only, I'll say we have booked this person tomorrow, but then sometimes they cancel and then we bring in someone from DC.
01:42:56.000Yeah, you know what I was thinking would be really funny?
01:42:58.000When they were talking about how Kamala hasn't done an interview for 30 days before they announced the CNN thing, I was sitting on my couch with Allison and I was just like...
01:43:06.000You know, if I tweeted right now that we have secured an interview with Kamala Harris, the entire press would erupt and explode, and then they would report the claim without fact-checking, and then they would say, we've reached out to the Harris campaign for a comment, they have not yet returned one.
01:43:22.000And then what happens is, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, maybe not the Journal, but the Times especially, Would report it without fact checking, because this is what they do.
01:43:31.000And they'll say podcast host Tim Pool has announced that this coming week, you know, Kamala Harris will be doing an interview, which would be weird if it was true.
01:43:38.000And then once they get a response, they would take the story down.
01:43:41.000Or they would say, Tim Pool lies, claiming interview with Kamala Harris was not true.
01:44:56.000I said this week we may have a celebrity guest coming who is totally apolitical and I don't know how they would handle being on a show like this at all.
01:45:57.000Jacob Hawley says, does it make sense that I'm center-left in voting Trump?
01:46:00.000I feel that Democrats are shifting economically to the right, but socially left, and Republicans are shifting economically left, but socially right.
01:46:35.000Now the, now it's like, The left is communist, and we're like, I'm liberal, I'm fiscally, like, or I'm sorry, yeah, Republicans, a lot of the people they've won over are the independents, and this is why it makes sense.
01:46:47.000When you're on the left, it's because you're in favor of certain things they've got as a moderate, and when you're a moderate on the right, it's because Something makes more sense on that side.
01:46:56.000So it's flipped and now people are saying we're socially conservative, because the social liberalism is wokeness and weird kid sex changes and things like that.
01:48:43.000That's impossible to get a perfect president.
01:48:46.000But the only conclusion I could come to is that on a scale of 0 to 100, where 50 is your neutral, Trump's 51.
01:48:54.000I actually think he's probably around like a 70, meaning there's a net bad that comes with any person, and that's only because we disagree and I think some things he shouldn't have done and some things he could do better.
01:49:06.000But I'm looking at all the past presidencies and I'm like, Trump actually is a force for good.
01:49:11.000I'm not saying he's an angel or a god emperor coming to save everybody and super altruistic.
01:49:16.000I'm saying that if you were to add up everything he does, we're finally in a net positive position.
01:50:11.000One of the first things Trump did was signing off on a commando raid in Yemen, which resulted, allegedly, in the death of an American 8-year-old girl, Abdur Rahman al-Awlaki's sister.
01:50:20.000The difference between Donald Trump and Obama, the Obama administration bombed a civilian restaurant to kill a bunch of civilians, including a 16-year-old American, and Donald Trump ordered a commando raid in Yemen, a country we're not at war with, which is bad and I think should be investigated.
01:50:34.000However, it is only alleged We don't really have strong evidence to know exactly what happened in that raid.
01:50:40.000People in Yemen have claimed it resulted in the death of a young girl.
01:50:45.000That's why I say it should be investigated.
01:51:11.000You know why they're not going to go after Trump over the commando raids?
01:51:14.000Because they have to go and arrest Obama and Bush.
01:51:17.000But they could if they wanted to, and not do anything with anyone else, because they're running the show still.
01:51:25.000I look at the document stuff and how they don't go after Biden, but they were forced to issue a statement about Biden being inept, that he couldn't stand trial basically, and documents are a much lighter play.
01:51:36.000If they came out and said, Donald Trump's orders This would have immediately invoked presidential immunity questions, impeachment questions, and it would have immediately brought up all the Obama stuff, because Obama killed way too many Americans.
01:51:49.000When I wasn't paying attention to politics, all I knew was Obama.
01:51:53.000The only thing I knew about President Obama was Obama.
01:52:29.000So they changed what counted as an enemy combatant to military-aged males.
01:52:34.000So that meant when some 19-year-old goat farmer was carrying a bucket of water to feed some farm animals, and they murdered him, they could call him an enemy combatant in their stats.
01:53:20.000What we want is a commitment to withdrawing our forces from these places where they don't belong, where it doesn't make sense, where their lives are at risk, where we're spending too much money.
01:53:29.000And it should be done strategically, and it should be done with haste.
01:53:36.000So when Donald Trump is pulling our troops out of these areas, he is maintaining the defense of the region with airstrikes.
01:53:43.000I'm not a fan of airstrikes, but I'm a much lesser of a fan of what Biden did with Afghanistan.
01:53:50.000If Donald Trump was in office, And carrying out the Afghanistan withdrawal.
01:53:55.000They would not have abandoned Bagram Air Force Base.
01:53:57.000He would have evacuated all American personnel and American allies in the region who had been acting as translators through Bagram, instead of the civilian airport, which they could not control, made no sense.
01:54:08.000And he would have used airstrikes to keep the Taliban from moving in and advancing and securing territories.
01:54:14.000Then you have got our troops out, keeping logistical capabilities in place for the National Security Forces of Afghanistan to keep the Taliban at bay, and he likely would have maintained airstrikes to stop the Taliban from moving in without U.S.
01:54:28.000personnel occupying or being in the country, or at least to a great, great degree.
01:54:32.000There may have been a small handful, like less than two double digits.
01:54:36.000But what Joe Biden does is abandon the Bagram Air Force Base in the middle of the night without warning, cut air support to all Afghan security forces.
01:54:45.000This meant guys were in the middle of flying helicopters and also the communications cut out.
01:54:49.000And they panicked, landed their helicopters and got out and ran.
01:55:23.000That would not have happened under Donald Trump.
01:55:25.000So I can tell you, Trump is doing things I don't like, but some we tolerate because they're moving us towards the end goal in the right direction.
01:55:34.000What the Democrats are doing right now is pushing us further and further deeper into these conflicts.
01:55:42.000I can't believe that we're at the point where Ukrainians using Western weapons, intelligence training, and volunteers has actually entered Russian territory.
01:55:52.000Creating such a threat that Russia is evacuating their civilians, 130,000.
01:55:55.000This is creating a potential existential threat to Russia where they will respond in the extreme.
01:56:21.000If they bring up abortion, he can just go, I got a lot of thoughts about abortion.
01:56:26.000But the problem is, the biggest threat facing us right now is the escalation of war with Ukraine invading Russia, Russia's threat of nuclear retaliation.
01:56:38.000We need to stop nuclear war from killing everybody.
01:56:41.000I think Harris is effectively able to make abortion an emergency issue by ignoring the global conflicts and the escalating tensions and the potential, not just, you know, national security issues, but also the economic consequences of a lot of these things.
01:56:54.000She is acting like abortion is the be-all and end-all of right now, when actually, you know, as we have all talked about tonight, it's an issue that has been moved and shifted over time for as long as we've had a government.
01:57:07.000On the border is another one of those issues that, like, the house is on fire, you know, and it's like, we're talking about abortion, which won't matter if we don't stop the invasion here, and then also World War III.
01:57:16.000Harris is now like, oh, I mean, I don't trust her, and I don't know, like, it's impossible to say what she means by, I'm gonna enforce the border, but like, she is posturing as a more, more moderately on the issue than she ever has before.
01:57:27.000That's interesting that she, that means she knows it's a winning issue.
01:57:30.000We should definitely treat an international crisis the same way.
01:57:34.000I just reshared a priest saying this on X before the show started that the house is on fire and he was being asked about IVF and it's like we're arguing about these crazy things and this is such a critical moment that abortion just doesn't matter at all.
01:58:21.000Israel launched a preemptive strike on Hezbollah, that's insane.
01:58:26.000And I'm watching Fox News and they're like, well they had to, otherwise Hezbollah was going to attack them, and Hezbollah's been attacking them, so they had to attack first.
01:58:45.000I am open to any argument that says I don't know enough about the conflict, because I don't.
01:58:51.000All I know is hearing that October 7th was Gaza, Hamas, attacking Israel, I can understand the move to cut off Hamas.
01:59:02.000Now they're making the argument that the same threat is potentially in the West Bank, so they have to go in and advance before the attack can happen.
01:59:08.000And I'm like, yeah, now you're beyond the confines of rational arguments.
01:59:14.000Because with the Gaza stuff, I can just be like, dude, not my war, whatever.
01:59:58.000I wonder how many of you were currently driving in your car, on your way to your vacation spot or to your family's house, because you're gonna have a barbecue tomorrow, Labor Day weekend is here, and you were listening to the show.
