00:00:00.000 I'm not kidding.

00:00:18.000 I'm looking at the headlines for the Kamala Harris interview.

00:00:20.000 First, why was it news that Kamala Harris did an interview? 0.60

00:00:25.000 Trump does interviews nonstop.

00:00:26.000 Nobody cares.

00:00:27.000 They just lie about what he says.

00:00:28.000 Kamala Harris finally does one interview, and they're forced to write about it because it's shocking.

00:00:33.000 And there are a plethora of media out saying that it was actually really good that her interview was really bad.

00:00:38.000 It's actually a good thing that she was vague, nondescript, and dull.

00:00:43.000 Look, if you watch the interview, she mentioned some policy.

00:00:47.000 I would say a lot of it's vague.

00:00:50.000 She's gotten some criticism, a lot of criticism from conservatives for flip-flopping, for hypocrisy. 0.98

00:00:55.000 And then you've got the Democrat media just being like, wow, actually it was really great that she said nothing and it was boring.

00:01:00.000 Literally, they call it boring.

00:01:02.000 You know, that's actually really funny.

00:01:04.000 But this is what gets me.

00:01:06.000 Donald Trump keeps giving these speeches.

00:01:08.000 Now he's saying, you know, this big pitch from last night that he's going to have government-funded IVF or insurance-funded IVF.

00:01:14.000 I'm actually a fan of that, to be honest.

00:01:16.000 But again, I'm not like a super-staunch conservative like many of you may be, or some of you may be.

00:01:20.000 But who's Trump arguing to when he says this stuff?

00:01:24.000 He's not debating Kamala Harris on issues.

00:01:26.000 So this is what a lot of people on the right are complaining about.

00:01:29.000 Trump is acting like he's in an argument to win voters when Democrats are simply voting for a color and not an actual person.

00:01:36.000 And 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. 0.93

00:01:41.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:42.000 We do got big news out of Brazil.

00:01:44.000 They've shut down X. They're threatening to shut down Starlink.

00:01:46.000 They're trying to seize money from Starlink.

00:01:49.000 Rumble's already pulled out.

00:01:50.000 And they're going to fine Brazilian citizens if they use a VP to bypass the restrictions to use X, $9,000 a day.

00:01:58.000 So this is absolutely wild.

00:01:59.000 We'll talk about that.

00:02:00.000 Plus, again, Donald Trump's positions.

00:02:02.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to gasbrew.com and buy coffee.

00:02:05.000 We got some of the best coffee.

00:02:06.000 In fact, we have the best coffee you'll ever have.

00:02:08.000 I'm allowed to say that.

00:02:09.000 It's legal because it's an opinion.

00:02:11.000 Appalachian Nights is delicious.

00:02:12.000 Rise with Alberto Jr.

00:02:13.000 Stand your grounds, of course.

00:02:14.000 But we also have Alex Stein's Primetime Grind.

00:02:17.000 Two times caffeine.

00:02:18.000 Drink responsibly.

00:02:18.000 And I genuinely mean that.

00:02:20.000 And then you've got Ian's Graphene Dream.

00:02:23.000 Which has actually become very popular, so cool to see.

00:02:26.000 And I'll tell you the quick story that when we launched, Rise of the Brutto Jr.

00:02:29.000 was 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.

00:02:37.000 Something similar is happening with Ian's Graphene Dream.

00:02:39.000 Maybe you give it a try.

00:03:19.000 Thanks for having me.

00:03:20.000 I'm happy to be here.

00:03:22.000 I am a liberal atheist lifelong Democrat.

00:03:26.000 Oh, atheist. 0.94

00:03:28.000 Turned Christian conservative commentator.

00:03:31.000 Yes, calm down.

00:03:32.000 We're having a diverse show.

00:03:35.000 But it didn't happen overnight, but I was pretty far in.

00:03:38.000 I was a Hillary Clinton voter and a Planned Parenthood donator.

00:03:40.000 And honestly, just in a nutshell, it was 2020 being told that I couldn't go to work and visit my family, but I could go out and protest.

00:03:49.000 That was crazy to me, and it was just a domino effect, like a rabbit hole.

00:03:52.000 part of the walkaway movement. Brandon, I know he's a friend of the show. We went on

00:03:57.000 college campuses together. And I have to add, I am a Timcast fan. I listen every night,

00:04:03.000 you're in my ear for like two hours every day. And I only say that because it was like

00:04:07.000 integral to my walkaway movement, or to my walkaway story, because I thought I knew stuff,

00:04:14.000 but I did not know anything. And to someone totally uninitiated to politics, it was just

00:04:18.000 accessible, enjoyable. And I've had a lot of podcasts like fall off, but yours is one

00:04:23.000 that I like keep listening to.

00:04:24.000 Thank you, appreciate it.

00:04:25.000 Glad to be here, thank you.

00:04:26.000 And 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

00:04:45.000 who's written a book on the dangers of AI and then Ian looks at him and asks him

00:04:49.000 about like resonating frequencies and crystal sphere computers and this PhD guy

00:04:53.000 looks at me like what is he talking about? And I started laughing. I'm like let

00:04:57.000 me try and translate what Ian is saying.

00:04:58.000 And then I effectively translated it.

00:05:01.000 I 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?

00:05:08.000 And he goes, oh, yes, the substrate.

00:05:09.000 Right.

00:05:10.000 Now I understand.

00:05:11.000 Anyway, that was a lot of fun on the Culture War podcast.

00:05:13.000 But Raymond's hanging out.

00:05:14.000 What's up, friends?

00:05:15.000 I'm Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

00:05:17.000 I appreciate you coming on because I can relate to everything you just said.

00:05:19.000 Yeah, I'm here.

00:05:20.000 Let's go.

00:05:21.000 I like that you hesitated with friends.

00:05:22.000 You're like the mayor of the discord.

00:05:24.000 You're like, I don't know if I like these people.

00:05:26.000 I'm just heckling you.

00:05:28.000 I'm Hannah Klob-Rimlow.

00:05:29.000 I'm a writer for scnr.com.

00:05:30.000 That's Scanner News for all their work.

00:05:32.000 At Tim Kast News, I'm so glad you could join us.

00:05:34.000 Let's get started.

00:05:35.000 So, there's a bunch of stories related to this.

00:05:38.000 Last night, Kamala Harris finally gave an interview.

00:05:40.000 I 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.

00:05:48.000 And it was vague.

00:05:50.000 She did say some things, like, look, I'll try to give credit where credit is due.

00:05:54.000 She said she wants to increase the child tax credit to, I think, what was it, $6,000?

00:05:56.000 Yes.

00:05:57.000 Around there.

00:05:58.000 And that's a policy.

00:05:59.000 I agree with that policy.

00:06:00.000 I like that.

00:06:01.000 But when she says things like, her opening line is, You know, Dana Bash says, like, what's the first thing you're going to do?

00:06:07.000 And she says, I'm going to focus on helping the middle class.

00:06:10.000 And then she starts word salading some gibberish nonsense, which is incomprehensible.

00:06:15.000 And then after a few minutes, Dana goes, and what is the first thing you're going to do?

00:06:19.000 It's like, oh, well, I've laid out a whole bunch of policies.

00:06:21.000 I've already done it.

00:06:23.000 And she doesn't describe them.

00:06:25.000 But then she gives us one, the child tax credit.

00:06:27.000 And it's like, Okay, now she's gotten a lot of criticism, not just from conservatives, but anyone who is sane.

00:06:32.000 Unfortunately, most Democrats are just praising her no matter what.

00:06:34.000 But here are the headlines.

00:06:35.000 Take a look at this.

00:06:37.000 It's actually a good thing that Kamala Harris's CNN interview was so dull.

00:06:41.000 Donald Trump said that the interview was boring, but that's not a bad thing.

00:06:45.000 Okay, here's the AP.

00:06:46.000 The interview.

00:06:47.000 Kamala Harris's inaugural sit-down was the most notable for seeming ordinary.

00:06:52.000 Uh-huh.

00:06:53.000 Guardian.

00:06:54.000 Kamala Harris's much-hyped first big interview was radically normal.

00:06:59.000 This is how they're addressing the fact that anybody who watched it was bored and not informed by it.

00:07:07.000 We don't know what she wants to do.

00:07:09.000 She's flip-flopped on fracking and no fracking. 1.00

00:07:13.000 She's flip-flopped on basically all of her policies. 0.98

00:07:15.000 She said in 2020 that she wanted to decriminalize border crossings.

00:07:18.000 Now she's talking about enforcing the law.

00:07:20.000 So we haven't actually learned a thing about what she wants to do, and I have no idea.

00:07:25.000 The 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.

00:07:34.000 Cause it's, you know, cause she's normal.

00:07:36.000 Well, this is also like a opposition to weird, you know, we're weird and they're, they're normal.

00:07:42.000 They're so normal.

00:07:44.000 But I thought it was interesting how she basically said, we're going to do all this.

00:07:48.000 And then to her credit, Dana says, well, why haven't you?

00:07:51.000 And she says, well, we had to fix the economy.

00:07:53.000 So she essentially says, we're going to fix the economy, help the middle class. 0.83

00:07:56.000 But we couldn't do it yet because we had to fix the economy, which we've done.

00:07:59.000 It was like an odd opening to the interview.

00:08:02.000 Was CNN's big Kamala Harris interview a dud?

00:08:03.000 usual she doesn't actually say anything it's a lot of whoever you said that

00:08:07.000 before the show started no Serge you said it that that it was she says a lot

00:08:11.000 but she doesn't say anything is basically and contradicts herself left

00:08:15.000 and right the closest we got was Washington Post was CNN's big Kamala

00:08:19.000 Harris interview a dud or have the Democrats become a party that runs

00:08:22.000 against 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.

00:08:33.000 Can 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? 0.55

00:08:43.000 They can't do it.

00:08:44.000 Also, not the Washington Post talking about the mainstream media as if they are not a part of that.

00:08:49.000 I find this fascinating that, you know, I think there were a lot of political analysts who were getting frustrated with Kamala Harris.

00:08:57.000 They will ultimately defend her, but you would watch these, like, NBC morning shows, right?

00:09:01.000 And they would be like, well, it's been this many days and she hasn't done an interview.

00:09:05.000 They 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.

00:09:13.000 And they have to say, well, we couldn't sit down with her alone.

00:09:16.000 She had to bring her best friend forever, Tim Walz, with her.

00:09:19.000 And also she kind of said nothing the whole time.

00:09:21.000 And we sat in the dark and it was uncomfortable.

00:09:24.000 I think it's kind of showing how much the Harris-Walls campaign just expects voters to turn out for them.

00:09:32.000 They did this out of obligation, right?

00:09:34.000 It'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.

00:09:42.000 But you're not going to spend a whole weekend with them.

00:09:44.000 That's effectively what Kamala Harris did to the mainstream media today. 1.00

00:09:47.000 She's like our boy Frank Luntz.

00:09:49.000 You know, we love this pollster.

00:09:51.000 He said that if an interview is judged not on policy but a performance, Kamala Harris will be found lacking.

00:09:57.000 We all saw it.

00:09:58.000 She didn't say anything.

00:09:59.000 A lot of word salads.

00:10:00.000 I didn't explain why.

00:10:00.000 A lot of nothing.

00:10:01.000 I mean, why she changed her position on fracking. 1.00

00:10:03.000 I didn't say why.

00:10:04.000 I just said that I've been consistent since 2020.

00:10:07.000 But she didn't laugh.

00:10:08.000 She laughed once.

00:10:10.000 I think she's really tired.

00:10:11.000 I'll give her credit for that.

00:10:12.000 I think she's really tired.

00:10:13.000 Every time I see a screenshot of this interview, I think she just looks tired.

00:10:17.000 And we talked about this a little bit last night, so I don't want to rehash all the same points, but she's dressed in gray.

00:10:21.000 It was kind of a dark room.

00:10:23.000 I mean, she looks, even in this shot from Washington Post, she looks smaller next to Tim Walz.

00:10:28.000 She does not seem to be in command of this interview.

00:10:31.000 And 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.

00:10:40.000 I think there's a reason that her first bid for the presidency didn't work out in 2020. 0.94

00:10:44.000 Because she's terrible.

00:10:45.000 It just seems so false.

00:10:48.000 I know I'm biased, you know, I'm a Trump supporter, but Trump just seems so real.

00:10:51.000 And she told that story about we were making pancakes and then they were like, auntie Kamala, Biden's calling.

00:10:58.000 And, you know, that was them telling her that he's dropping out or whatever.

00:11:02.000 It just doesn't seem real.

00:11:03.000 She comes off so fake all the time.

00:11:06.000 And, 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.

00:11:19.000 I 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.

00:11:35.000 Like, it's offensive to him.

00:11:36.000 And if it's not this, they're making fun of my children, right?

00:11:38.000 Like, immediately pivots to being the victim.

00:11:41.000 He's good at it.

00:11:42.000 I mean, this works on weak-willed people.

00:11:44.000 So for me, I'm sitting there going, yes, but your bad grammar doesn't explain why you told people you were in war or lied about your rank.

00:11:51.000 And he's not going to answer it.

00:11:53.000 And this is the point I was making in the intro to the show.

00:11:58.000 Look, I don't know what's going to happen in November.

00:12:01.000 I want Trump to win, obviously.

00:12:04.000 But 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.

00:12:13.000 Right, 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... 0.98

00:12:24.000 Dancing and cackling because people aren't voting for Kamala.

00:12:28.000 I 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.

00:12:36.000 And I'm like, that's exactly right.

00:12:36.000 Yeah.

00:12:38.000 They don't care what Kamala represents. 1.00

00:12:41.000 They are voting for the party.

00:12:42.000 So there's no argument to be made to them.

00:12:46.000 So Trump doesn't need to constantly keep arguing these points.

00:12:51.000 When Tim Walz goes up there, excuse me, And says, well, I've got bad grammar.

00:12:56.000 And then he moves on, but they attack my kids.

00:12:58.000 It doesn't matter what he said.

00:13:00.000 He could literally come out and say, I was serving in a wartime insecurity for the United States while it was actively in a conflict.

00:13:09.000 And though our risk was substantially smaller, not in not in the war zone, we were in war.

00:13:13.000 And then she would've been like, okay.

00:13:15.000 And Democrats would've just clapped and be like, I accept that answer.

00:13:17.000 He could literally just look at her and burp.

00:13:19.000 And they would go, haha, you, yeah!

00:13:21.000 And they would cheer for him and they would say, he shoved it back in their face.

00:13:24.000 They shouldn't even be asking.

00:13:25.000 No matter what he says, Democrats are gonna hoot and clap.

00:13:29.000 Speaking as a former TDS sufferer, you are correct.

00:13:33.000 It does not matter.

00:13:33.000 It literally does not matter.

00:13:35.000 But, I mean, what should Trump do instead?

00:13:38.000 I mean, what does he do instead of arguing these points?

00:13:40.000 So it's not so much that he shouldn't argue.

00:13:43.000 It's that he should argue a point to the American people instead of argue against Kamala Harris.

00:13:49.000 That's fair.

00:13:54.000 And 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.

00:14:04.000 What he's trying to do is he's trying to basically go at the media narrative they're presenting.

00:14:10.000 They say Donald Trump wants to ban IVF.

00:14:13.000 It doesn't matter if they said QVC.

00:14:16.000 Democrats are going to go, he wants to ban, insert random object.

00:14:19.000 It doesn't matter. 0.95

00:14:20.000 Trump is bad.

00:14:21.000 So Trump then says he wants to support IVF.

00:14:23.000 Why?

00:14:24.000 Or he wants government funded.

00:14:25.000 It's a big ask type maneuver where he jumps over their talking point and then he can try and be like, look, they're lying.

00:14:32.000 I said this.

00:14:32.000 Now, maybe there's an argument for that.

00:14:35.000 A 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.

00:14:41.000 And then someone says, here's a video of Trump saying he wants government-funded IVF.

00:14:43.000 That could be the strategy.

00:14:45.000 And I respect that.

00:14:46.000 But 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?

00:14:56.000 I don't think it's effective in this regard.

00:14:59.000 And he needs to focus on, your prices will come down with me. 0.88

00:15:04.000 And he's done a lot of that that's really, really good.

00:15:07.000 I'm just saying in that one particular instance, I don't see it as effective.

00:15:10.000 I don't know about yourself, but Trump did not wake me up at all.

00:15:14.000 Listen to him speak.

00:15:15.000 I did not wake up from watching podcasts like yourself and Dan Bongino's woke me up.

00:15:20.000 Whereas what Trump's policies and what he said did not have any impacts on what I was thinking and why I changed the way I was thinking.

00:15:26.000 I don't know about yourself.

00:15:27.000 No, but once you, like, do the research and you realize, oh, he didn't actually say that.

00:15:31.000 Oh, he didn't actually.

00:15:32.000 All of it's a lie, you know, so he didn't wake me up, but seeing the truth.

00:15:36.000 Real quick, I just want to say, if that is the play, and I would say this.

00:15:42.000 The one thing Trump has done well with that maneuver is given you all listening right now the opportunity.

00:15:48.000 So when one of your friends or family members says he's going to ban IVF, you can be like, huh?

00:15:53.000 He said he wants the government to pay for it.

00:15:55.000 Yeah.

00:15:56.000 That being said, I've already seen how rank and file Democrats and Democrat voters have responded.

00:16:03.000 Trump's lying.

00:16:04.000 That's it.

00:16:04.000 Well 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.

00:16:10.000 And how many times, and we're all, a lot of conservatives are mad at him that he doesn't actually want to ban abortion.

00:16:16.000 So who's he arguing to?

00:16:17.000 But so she keeps saying the lie and you're right that it doesn't work.

00:16:20.000 But she needs him to be the villain, right?

00:16:22.000 Everything bad that you fear most has to be Trump's fault.

00:16:24.000 I mean, she'll refer to everything as a Trump abortion ban, even when they are state-level initiatives that he has no involvement in.

00:16:32.000 But 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.

00:16:38.000 That 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.

00:16:43.000 But I do want to know, how did you contract TDS?

00:16:45.000 Like, when did you notice it?

00:16:47.000 She was bitten by a... Yeah, what were the first symptoms?

00:16:50.000 Monkeypox.

00:16:52.000 You said you were a lifelong Democrat.

00:16:53.000 It's reflexive.

00:16:54.000 I mean, I think it's a default.

00:16:55.000 I think, especially, I'm a millennial.

00:16:57.000 I think a lot of millennials are.

00:16:58.000 I grew up in Southern California.

00:16:59.000 I think a lot of... I was an actress for a long time.

00:17:02.000 You're a liberal.

00:17:03.000 My 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.

00:17:09.000 I think people just reflect.

00:17:10.000 You have to work hard to not have TDS, but everything, the media, celebrities, everything is telling you to have it.

00:17:18.000 And so you have to do work to not, and it's just easier to not.

00:17:22.000 It's very true, very true.

00:17:23.000 You said your parents are Republicans?

00:17:24.000 Yeah.

00:17:25.000 So 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?

00:17:32.000 No, it kept me grounded because I was like, they're lying about Trump supporters because my parents aren't like that, you know?

00:17:38.000 So 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.

00:17:45.000 You 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?

00:17:51.000 I wish more families kind of had that going on, but it doesn't seem like it.

00:17:55.000 But most people don't give the benefit of the doubt if you're related or your best friend is a transporter.

00:17:59.000 Hard for me to fathom, though.

00:18:01.000 If 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.

00:18:10.000 Yeah.

00:18:11.000 Nowadays it's social media, not media media at all.

00:18:13.000 Right.

00:18:15.000 And the crazy thing is, it is a cult.

00:18:17.000 And the way you save someone from a cult is you remove them from the people who are attacking their mind in this way.

00:18:27.000 But what do you do with social media?

00:18:27.000 Take their phone away?

00:18:29.000 Yeah.

00:18:29.000 So now people are surrounded on social media not just with lies, but many people know they're being lied to and they know it's wrong.

00:18:36.000 They're just scared to break away.

00:18:37.000 And so, I mean, you see this with big corporations.

00:18:40.000 They'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.

00:18:53.000 So to a single human, they're thinking, all of my friends are liberal, I can't lose my friends and my family.

00:18:58.000 And so they'll accept it, even if they think it's wrong.

00:19:01.000 It really is like a cult though.

00:19:02.000 I know you guys have spoken on this but because my whole thing was just questioning COVID and BLM.

00:19:07.000 I 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. 0.96

00:19:15.000 We've got actually a big breaking story from just about an hour ago from the Boston Herald.

00:19:20.000 Police taser subdue a man who stormed the media area of a Trump rally in Pennsylvania.

00:19:25.000 We actually have the video, it's going viral.

00:19:27.000 What?

00:19:27.000 Brandon Strock says, does the Secret Service exist at all?

00:19:30.000 Another violent Democrat tries to attack President Trump at his rally.

00:19:33.000 So this is a minute long.

00:19:36.000 You can see the man right here.

00:19:37.000 Let me let me I don't want I don't want to be too little play this video

00:19:39.000 So I don't believe this man is trying to attack Trump he's He's attacking the press area.

00:19:54.000 They grab him and rip him down from what appears to be... He's trying to climb up on top of the press area for some reason.

00:20:01.000 Don't tase me, bro.

00:20:02.000 I don't know that he's a Democrat, but I think it's a reasonable assumption that he's not a Trump supporter.

00:20:08.000 That's fair.

00:20:09.000 Very fair.

00:20:11.000 But this stuff has me worried.

00:20:13.000 So 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.

00:20:21.000 The 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.

00:20:29.000 The 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.

00:20:36.000 People in the area tried to pull him down.

00:20:37.000 The crowd cheered as a pack of police led the man away.

00:20:40.000 So, you know, I don't see this as a guy attacking Trump, but the security breach is still worrying.

00:20:49.000 And there are a lot of people who are concerned.

00:20:51.000 In 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.

00:21:01.000 And you see a story like this, and I'm kind of worried that Trump's security is at great risk.

00:21:07.000 Look, this guy should not have been able to get in the press area.

00:21:10.000 Maybe 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.

00:21:17.000 Yeah.

00:21:18.000 Did you see that?

00:21:19.000 What did Donald Trump say?

00:21:20.000 There's nowhere more fun to be than a Trump rally?

00:21:23.000 Is that what he said?

00:21:23.000 Because he takes all this stuff in stride.

00:21:26.000 He does take it in stride.

00:21:27.000 It is worrying, but he definitely does.

00:21:30.000 You think he was a Trump supporter?

00:21:32.000 Because if Trump's talking about the media being bad and then the guy goes, media, yeah.

00:21:38.000 Well, how did they even get it?

00:21:39.000 Oh, he didn't have it.

00:21:40.000 Okay.

00:21:41.000 Yeah.

00:21:41.000 That's still crazy.

00:21:42.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:21:43.000 I 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.

00:21:51.000 No, it's usually fine.

00:21:52.000 I could understand if he was, like, yelling at them as they, like, took their seats, right? 0.62

00:21:56.000 Being like, you guys are the worst.

00:21:57.000 But, you know, it actually is more distracting from Trump if you were supportive of him to do that kind of thing at his rally. 1.00

00:22:04.000 People are crazy. 1.00

00:22:05.000 Yeah, people are crazy. 0.97

00:22:06.000 Do you guys feel like the risk is or the probability that Trump faces another attempt on his life before the election?

00:22:14.000 I'm going 66%.

00:22:14.000 Easy.

00:22:15.000 66%?

00:22:15.000 That's a very specific number.

00:22:17.000 Very specific, yeah.

00:22:18.000 I mean, sure.

00:22:18.000 66.66?

00:22:18.000 Let's go straight two-thirds.

00:22:23.000 Well, given the fact that we have no answers about anything, have people been fired over July 13th, finally?

00:22:29.000 Suspended, I think.

00:22:30.000 It took a very long time.

00:22:30.000 Suspended.

00:22:32.000 And if you watch those congressional hearings, it was nothing.

00:22:36.000 It made no sense.

00:22:37.000 I had more questions watching those hearings than I did before I watched the hearings. 0.98

00:22:41.000 It was, it was absolutely ridiculous.

00:22:42.000 So given that, and then the guy, Ronald Rowe, I think is in charge now.

00:22:47.000 Is he the acting director still?

00:22:49.000 He doesn't know what the heck's going on either.

00:22:52.000 You know, he seemed like a little more likable than Kimberly Cheadle, but I still think he's blowing smoke.

00:22:57.000 So if he's in charge right now, then yes, I would say it's 66% or higher.

00:23:01.000 Adrienne Curry in the chat says 100%.

00:23:04.000 I agree.

00:23:05.000 It's a good chance.

00:23:07.000 I agree.

00:23:08.000 I don't want to go too high.

00:23:09.000 I'm worried about agreeing, but I think it's high.

00:23:12.000 Considering, like you mentioned, we don't have any answers.

00:23:12.000 Yeah.

00:23:15.000 They're saying they don't know the motivation, the stories.

00:23:19.000 It's nonsense.

00:23:20.000 It does not make sense.

00:23:21.000 And then you take a look at Trump's victories in courts versus what they're trying to do.

00:23:25.000 Jack Smith is told by the Supreme Court, you can't do this.

00:23:29.000 So he files a new indictment and then appeals to try and go after Trump for the documents again?

00:23:34.000 It doesn't matter what the Supreme Court says.

00:23:36.000 They're going to stop at nothing to get Trump.

00:23:40.000 We are two and a half weeks away from Trump sentencing.

00:23:44.000 This 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.

00:24:01.000 Everyone knew he was doing well.

00:24:02.000 It was very clear that he was going to dominate Biden in the general election.

00:24:07.000 But 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.

00:24:14.000 So in some way, someone who is feeling desperate doesn't feel the same kind of pressure they would have before under Biden.

00:24:21.000 Other than just like ideologically TDS, he's horrible and like a screw loose kind of thing where they feel called to do something terrible.

00:24:29.000 Some of the pressure is conveniently off.

00:24:33.000 I think it's still so close though and people are worried.

00:24:35.000 I just don't trust the Secret Service right now.

00:24:37.000 That's the big problem.

00:24:39.000 I don't know what people are going to do.

00:24:41.000 I'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?

00:24:51.000 And like, isn't that your job to have a little imagination that people do bad stuff?

00:24:56.000 So yeah, I mean, I don't think people, I think both sides are worried.

00:25:00.000 And if someone's crazy, someone's crazy and it'll still happen.

00:25:04.000 That's a good point.

00:25:05.000 Like he was 98% chance of going away over Biden because Biden's gone.

00:25:10.000 Which is why when they say it was fake, it makes no sense because he was doing... I've never understood that.

00:25:16.000 When they're like, he faked this.

00:25:18.000 He was ahead and he was... He should have waited until October to fake it.

00:25:21.000 He didn't have any reason to fake anything.

00:25:24.000 No, because all the news was how terrible Biden's cognitive ability was.

00:25:27.000 And I would have waited until October to fake this.

00:25:29.000 He didn't fake it.

00:25:30.000 We all know that.

00:25:32.000 The media covering criticism of Biden helped him.

00:25:34.000 Why would you disrupt that coverage?

00:25:36.000 It doesn't make any sense.

00:25:37.000 I am very worried for Donald Trump.

00:25:38.000 Yeah.

00:25:41.000 I'm worried for the country.

00:25:43.000 That too.

00:25:43.000 Yeah.

00:25:44.000 I don't think either side will.

00:25:47.000 Maybe I'm thinking too much and it'll just be business as usual.

00:25:51.000 I'm not just worried for the country.

00:25:52.000 I mean, the world is on the brink, you know, and so it's not just Donald Trump.

00:25:56.000 Trump 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.

00:26:08.000 You're not going to be able to travel internationally At all.

00:26:11.000 And I'm not talking about public figures.

00:26:14.000 You're a regular dude.

00:26:15.000 And 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.

00:26:23.000 And it's like a, it's a guy, it's just a guy.

00:26:27.000 It's a guy, he's balding.

00:26:28.000 And he just looks like a guy.

00:26:30.000 And then the guy's like, no, you have to call me a woman.

00:26:31.000 So the court said, take the episode, delete the episode.

00:26:34.000 You'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.

00:26:43.000 And 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.

00:26:48.000 Yes.

00:26:48.000 And I'm not kidding.

00:26:49.000 I agree.

00:26:49.000 Because that guy in the UK already said they want to extradite people from other countries and arrest them.

00:26:54.000 And 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.

00:27:11.000 Yeah, no more dank memes.

00:27:13.000 No more dank memes.

00:27:14.000 That's how they bypass the U.S. 0.99

00:27:16.000 So basically, the issue you have is with Elon Musk and with Rumble, people are getting their free speech back.

00:27:23.000 To certain degrees.

00:27:25.000 How did they get around that?

00:27:26.000 You broke Canadian law.

00:27:27.000 You broke UK law.

00:27:29.000 You 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.

00:27:34.000 Because the UK is saying they want to extradite people from other countries.

00:27:38.000 But even outside of that, you know, we're talking about the risk to Trump's life.

00:27:42.000 I'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.

00:27:50.000 No one's going to come to help him.

00:27:51.000 The state of the world is falling into absolute chaos.

00:27:56.000 If Trump doesn't win, it's not just a question about is our country in trouble, our democracy, whatever.

00:28:02.000 Are we going to fire bad elements within the FBI or something?

00:28:06.000 It's quite literally World War III and global totalitarianism.

00:28:12.000 Yeah, 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.

00:28:22.000 But 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.

00:28:36.000 And I wish people could just get on board with that, because it is frightening.

00:28:41.000 Do you want to live in a dystopian future or do you want to live in a free America?

00:28:45.000 Make up your mind, folks.

00:28:46.000 When 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. 0.96

00:29:09.000 She 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.

00:29:33.000 Is 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? 0.87

00:29:40.000 Well, we've been sending Blinken and he's failing left and right.

00:29:43.000 China's telling Blinken... He's not good, but at least like he has a resume behind him. 0.73

00:29:47.000 Neither one of them really do.

00:29:49.000 True.

00:29:50.000 I don't think they care.

00:29:51.000 I don't think they care.

00:29:53.000 I mean, these people hate Donald Trump.

00:29:56.000 They despise him.

00:29:57.000 And I don't think they care.

00:29:59.000 I don't think they think about this stuff.

00:30:00.000 I don't think they realize that we're on the brink of, like, World War III or anything.

00:30:05.000 Because they don't pay attention to the news?

00:30:06.000 Like, Ukraine was before and we have forgotten about it?

00:30:09.000 Or why?

00:30:09.000 Well, no.

00:30:10.000 Tim, you have said that if you read the news, you're conservative.

00:30:12.000 That is true.

00:30:13.000 I did not.

00:30:14.000 I can't speak for every Democrat.

00:30:16.000 They don't know what's going on.

00:30:17.000 I didn't read the news.

00:30:18.000 I didn't know anything.

00:30:19.000 I think it's more fair to conservatives to say if you read the news then you're on the right.

00:30:24.000 Okay, yeah.

00:30:26.000 I misquoted you, sorry.

00:30:28.000 You might not have.

00:30:30.000 I may have said something to that effect.

00:30:31.000 What 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. 0.97

00:30:37.000 Conservatives 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!

00:30:50.000 And I'm like, so it's to their credit, I guess.

00:30:52.000 But then the left says Tim's lying to conservatives to convince them that he's what a liberal should be.

00:30:57.000 It's utter nonsense.

00:30:58.000 But conservative means something.

00:31:00.000 And the reality is, there are post-liberals, disaffected liberals, and moderates that are voting for Donald Trump.

00:31:08.000 They consider themselves either center-left or even social liberals like the Democrats.

00:31:13.000 Many Democrats used to be. 1.00

00:31:14.000 But the Democrats are insane. 1.00

00:31:16.000 And not only that... 0.92

00:31:17.000 I think it is absolutely the case that you could be pro-affirmative action, pro-choice.

00:31:26.000 I don't know about extremely pro-abortion.

00:31:28.000 In fact, I gotta be honest, you could probably be pro-abortion to a greater degree than anyone on the right.

00:31:33.000 You can be absolutely in favor of affirmative action and DEI policies and still vote for Donald Trump.

00:31:38.000 That's RFK.

00:31:39.000 RFK is pro-affirmative action and pro-choice.

00:31:42.000 Because when RFK looks at Donald Trump, he's thinking to himself...

00:31:46.000 This is a guy who called Columbus Day Indigenous Peoples Day.

00:31:49.000 But he's thinking to himself, the Democrats are pro-war, pro-censorship, pro-Big Pharma.

00:31:56.000 Donald Trump is...

00:31:58.000 Unfortunately for him, he's...

00:32:00.000 Actually, I don't even think RFK views him as a lesser of two evils.

00:32:02.000 I think the people who have crossed the aisle to vote for Trump view him as a net positive defense against this corruption.

00:32:08.000 The reality is Trump's a moderate on most things.

00:32:12.000 I think they look at Trump as a long term investment in the future.

00:32:15.000 You know, Kamala Harris represents a level of destruction and I think chaos more than anything else.

00:32:21.000 And people don't want that right now.

00:32:23.000 I think both political leaders don't want that and definitely the American public.

00:32:26.000 Kamala Harris does this dance where she says, oh, well, I have presented policies.

00:32:31.000 But also, we couldn't implement them.

00:32:33.000 We had to fix the economy.

00:32:34.000 But also, I'm going to do something new on day one.

00:32:37.000 But also, I've been here for three years.

00:32:38.000 I mean, nothing she says is consistent.

00:32:40.000 She 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.

00:32:50.000 And I think when people who don't necessarily love everything Donald Trump stands for, Look at him.

00:32:57.000 They realize that he is able to negotiate with world leaders.

00:33:00.000 He is going to deliver on certain economic promises that he already had a stable economy.

00:33:07.000 And 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.

00:33:17.000 Let's jump to everyone's favorite subject, abortion.

00:33:20.000 Yippee! 1.00

00:33:20.000 From sdnr.com, Trump says Florida's six-week abortion ban too short amid conservative infighting. 1.00

00:33:28.000 The GOP candidate's comments follow a prominent anti-abortion advocate withdrawing support.

00:33:32.000 Now this story went massively viral.

00:33:35.000 Donald 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.

00:33:49.000 During 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.

00:33:56.000 He changed.

00:33:56.000 Trump War Room just posted it and Charlie Kirk reposted it.

00:33:59.000 Today he said he's voting no on it.

00:34:00.000 week, six week is too short. It has to be more time. And I've told them that I want

00:34:05.000 more more weeks. When asked if he would support the amendment, his home said he says, I'm

00:34:09.000 going to be voting that we need more than six weeks. That sounds like he's he's he's

00:34:13.000 he's changed. Yeah. Trump war room just posted it and Charlie Kirk reposted today. He said

00:34:19.000 right. He's right. But no, it was kind of Thursday. Friday was a little bit of a shift,

00:34:24.000 right? That was the and that was the big news that everybody was going viral.

00:34:26.000 Yeah.

00:34:27.000 Or that was going viral with everybody where... Let me pull it up.

00:34:30.000 And I don't know how you can vote for more weeks if the guideline is six weeks.

00:34:33.000 That's not an option.

00:34:34.000 I'm going to vote for 1A.

00:34:37.000 I think the amendment is you cannot make, what, any law prior to viability or affecting if the mother's health is in danger.

00:34:47.000 So this was the clip.

00:34:48.000 This is from War Room today.

00:34:50.000 A major win. 0.91

00:34:51.000 Trump saying nine months is just a ridiculous situation. 0.98

00:34:54.000 Eat crow haters. 0.97

00:34:55.000 Trump did the right thing.

00:34:57.000 So this was the big story.

00:34:59.000 Trump ultimately coming out.

00:35:00.000 But 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.

00:35:15.000 OK, if your kids are listening or in the room, you can earmuffs them now. 0.99

00:35:19.000 Democrats are literally having gay sex in the Senate building and they don't care. 1.00

00:35:23.000 They don't care. 1.00

00:35:24.000 They'll vote for these people.

00:35:26.000 To be fair, the guy got fired.

00:35:28.000 But you've got this debauchery and Trump is trying to have an end and the right is infighting.

00:35:35.000 I can't stand this.

00:35:35.000 This is crazy and I'm as pro-life as they come.

00:35:38.000 I know I said I donated to Planned Parenthood.

00:35:40.000 I don't even believe in exceptions for assault but that's not in this election cycle.

00:35:45.000 It's so crazy to be fighting about this right now because every election is a choice.

00:35:50.000 I'm for Donald Trump but every election between two men or people is a choice between the lesser of two evils.

00:35:55.000 It'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.

00:36:04.000 He would lose.

00:36:05.000 And it's not Trump's fault that abortion bans are not popular with the American people.

00:36:10.000 That's my fault as a pro-life activist.

00:36:12.000 That's anyone's fault who's against abortion and knows the truth about abortion.

00:36:15.000 And it's kind of like we're looking for someone to blame because he hasn't shifted.

00:36:18.000 He's always been for, what, the first trimester, pretty much.

00:36:23.000 Old school Democrat.

00:36:24.000 Exactly.

00:36:25.000 A lot of people are for that.

00:36:26.000 Most Americans are.

00:36:27.000 And I don't agree with it, but it's not his fault that it's unpopular.

00:36:30.000 The issue here with Trump, and this is what I was bringing up before about the argument, is he should say nothing on any of it.

00:36:36.000 He should just not bring it up.

00:36:38.000 There's nothing to be gained from entering an abortion debate. 0.90

00:36:40.000 Democrats don't care. 0.99

00:36:43.000 Trump's going to say something like, I want government to pay for IVF.

00:36:48.000 And then the Democrats are going to say, yeah, he said that, but in Project 2025, they're

00:36:52.000 going to ban abortion.

00:36:53.000 And then they go, whoa, and that's Trump's plan?

00:36:56.000 He's lying to you.

00:36:57.000 And so Trump is arguing with a cult.

00:37:00.000 And no matter what he's going to say, they're going to say he's lying.

00:37:02.000 He's not convincing them.

00:37:04.000 I don't think I get why he's a moderate on the issue.

00:37:09.000 Saying 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.

00:37:15.000 Out of sight, out of mind, as it goes.

00:37:18.000 If 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.

00:37:27.000 Democrats want abortion. 0.99

00:37:29.000 They want it unrestricted across the board forever.

00:37:31.000 Trump is now entering an argument amongst conservatives.

00:37:35.000 Trump, 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.

00:37:43.000 I got to be honest.

00:37:44.000 What 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. 0.58

00:37:53.000 But 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. 0.99

00:38:02.000 But Democrats want abortion, and women want abortion, so Trump is in a difficult position trying to argue this with anybody.

00:38:08.000 Well, the Harris campaign brings this up because they think, you know, it rallies support among their base, and also it makes Republicans infight.

00:38:15.000 Trump 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.

00:38:29.000 And, you know, I would really like to see stronger leadership from the Biden-Harris administration.

00:38:33.000 Like, he should push her on this issue because that's what Democrats infight about. 0.92

00:38:37.000 Harris, 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.

00:38:47.000 And that doesn't mean that they're huge gains, that's just who she gained with.

00:38:51.000 But those are the same people who are saying, we're going to sit out.

00:38:53.000 We would rather not vote at all than vote for someone who doesn't support Palestine.

00:38:57.000 Imagine when they come up to Trump and they were like, I wanted to ask you about your position on abortion.

00:39:01.000 That's generating a lot of controversy.

00:39:02.000 And he just looked at him and went...

00:39:03.000 Israel-Palestine.

00:39:04.000 It's tough, isn't it?

00:39:05.000 I wonder what Democrats are going to do about that one.

00:39:07.000 If Democrats really cared about women, they would really care about what's going on in these overseas conflicts. 1.00

00:39:12.000 Yeah, that's like their abortion. 1.00

00:39:14.000 It breaks them up.

00:39:17.000 If 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.

00:39:28.000 It's just crazy to me because your options are codifying Roe.

00:39:31.000 Right.

00:39:32.000 He's literally the president who got Roe v. Wade overturned.

00:39:35.000 Pro-lifers are mad, and that's crazy.

00:39:36.000 and I wish every conservative could just like, just stop listening to what he says.

00:39:39.000 When he tweeted out about, I'm going to protect reproductive rights, I wish he wouldn't have

00:39:43.000 done that. But like, just ignore it and understand that he's the most pro-life candidate that we've

00:39:48.000 got right now. Right. He's literally the president who got Roe v. Wade overturned.

00:39:53.000 Right. Pro-lifers are mad. And that's crazy. That's like 50 years of precedence that he reversed.

00:39:57.000 He is the only sitting president to attend the March for Life.

00:40:00.000 I mean, he is the most pro-life president of our history.

00:40:04.000 And I also think it's important to note that just because we compromise once, that doesn't mean it's set in stone.

00:40:09.000 Like, you shift the needle incrementally to the right, hopefully, because that's the same way they shifted it to the left, incrementally.

00:40:15.000 It wasn't overnight.

00:40:16.000 When I was growing up, it was safe, legal, and rare, and now they won't even say rare anymore.

00:40:19.000 And it seems like a lot of conservatives just want to shift it overnight all of a sudden.

00:40:23.000 So just because we compromise now doesn't mean God's going to smite us.

00:40:26.000 Maybe Trump could pull a big ask on abortion, and then once Kamala says she wants unwritten abortions, Trump could say he wants mandatory abortion. 1.00

00:40:33.000 Just go well beyond the Democrat position, and then force them to try and one-up him.

00:40:38.000 No, he'd upset the pro-life crowd.

00:40:40.000 They're already mad the way it is.

00:40:43.000 And they got what they want with Roe vs. Wade, and they just want more and more and more.

00:40:47.000 I don't understand their policy, the way they're thinking.

00:40:49.000 Because they want there to be panic.

00:40:51.000 That's the big thing.

00:40:51.000 They 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.

00:41:07.000 Because 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. 0.91

00:41:18.000 Trump's trying to play the moderate, and it might be a good play, but he has to stabilize. 0.93

00:41:25.000 He had, like, you know, yesterday saying six weeks is too short, now saying, no, no, I'm gonna vote no on it.

00:41:31.000 It's relatively vague.

00:41:32.000 But he needs to just be a stable, moderate candidate where he, like, I don't think abortion matters to most moderates.

00:41:39.000 I don't think abortion is a top issue. 1.00

00:41:41.000 I give zero shit. 0.99

00:41:42.000 We would already know it's a top issue. 1.00

00:41:43.000 It never was.

00:41:44.000 It's crime.

00:41:44.000 It's the economy.

00:41:45.000 It's the border.

00:41:46.000 Those are his best issues.

00:41:48.000 They're dragging something up that's at the bottom of the list because this is the only thing Kamala Harris knows how to talk about. 1.00

00:41:54.000 Yeah, he probably shouldn't have commented on how he's going to vote in Florida.

00:41:57.000 That's really no one's business.

00:41:59.000 But the IVF thing, too, is kind of weird.

00:42:01.000 Right?

00:42:02.000 Yeah.

00:42:03.000 What do you mean?

00:42:04.000 He wants the government to pay for IVF.

00:42:06.000 Why announce that?

00:42:07.000 That's a radical policy.

00:42:08.000 I think that's a good thing.

00:42:10.000 I agree with it.

00:42:11.000 And Vance has kind of a stigma, which I don't think is deserved, that he's against IVF.

00:42:16.000 And I think both of those are good things to come out and say.

00:42:20.000 And I actually am pro-IVF, unlike a lot of pro-life people.

00:42:25.000 So, again, I don't know.

00:42:26.000 I think it's something you can show to someone and be like, actually, he wants insurance to pay for IVF.

00:42:32.000 But I just don't see that as a big issue that wins over voters to say that, who is he targeting?

00:42:39.000 That's why we're expanding the abortion issue, right?

00:42:39.000 I don't think about it at all.

00:42:41.000 Like IVF only became an issue because they still wanted to talk about abortion.

00:42:44.000 But they're not talking about birth control access, right?

00:42:44.000 Yeah, right.

00:42:46.000 No one is arguing.

00:42:48.000 If 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? 1.00

00:42:55.000 And they would talk about that nonstop, but it's not about that.

00:42:57.000 It's about fear.

00:42:59.000 Why doesn't Trump just come out and say, We're going to make the government pay for your house.

00:43:05.000 It's a free house.

00:43:06.000 We're going to build more.

00:43:07.000 If 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.

00:43:07.000 Why?

00:43:12.000 Sure, Trump says we're going to buy you a house.

00:43:16.000 If 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. 0.99

00:43:23.000 I was listening to this report today talking about Trump saying that he would be for the government paying for IVF.

00:43:29.000 And this reporter was like, that would cost something like $7 billion.

00:43:33.000 And meanwhile, the Biden student loan plan that just got blocked by a judge would cost $230 billion.

00:43:41.000 I don't know if the government should be involved in subsizing everything.

00:43:44.000 I'm actually not against IVF.

00:43:45.000 I just think we need to think about it ethically and be critical of it.

00:43:49.000 But you're saying that he is going to spend seven billion dollars to create potentially families in America.

00:43:56.000 Meanwhile, you're just authorizing Joe Biden to give away 230.

00:44:00.000 Like, it doesn't make any sense.

00:44:01.000 There's no logic.

00:44:02.000 It was really funny when he was at his rally earlier and he was like, we need more babies, more babies.

00:44:08.000 I was like, actually, that was really funny.

00:44:10.000 If nothing else, he's taking back IVF from the Democrats because they act like they own IVF and they don't.

00:44:16.000 It's not abortion at all.

00:44:18.000 There's a fundamental difference between trying to create a life and intentionally destroying one.

00:44:23.000 And so at least he's taking back and acting like, no, actually, Republicans, we can own IVF too.

00:44:29.000 And it's not just Democrats.

00:44:32.000 I think it's a good thing.

00:44:33.000 And we do need more families.

00:44:34.000 And I think infertility impacts Yeah, and I just think we should talk about it all the time.

00:44:39.000 I 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.

00:44:47.000 I get why, you know, they're latching on to it, but it's a big deal the fact that our birth rates are declining.

00:44:52.000 It'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.

00:44:59.000 I just think we have to talk about it more.

00:45:00.000 And I think there's a level of shame that goes with infertility where we don't.

00:45:04.000 But 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.

00:45:12.000 And I just, I don't understand how that can be appealing to voters, but I was never a Democrat.

00:45:17.000 Just last night, real quick, we had two great super chats that called in and IVF really helped them.

00:45:22.000 You know, they're on our team, and they really appreciate IVFs and how they help them.

00:45:25.000 I think I heard that, actually, listening to that, and it's very sweet.

00:45:28.000 I 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.

00:45:46.000 I think we should do embryo adoption.

00:45:47.000 But yeah, fundamentally, there's a difference there.

00:45:49.000 And I don't think we need to be so puritanical as conservatives, but that's just my opinion.

00:45:56.000 Let's jump to this story.

00:45:57.000 We have a tweet from Jack Posobiec.

00:45:58.000 He says, Breaking!

00:45:59.000 Gold Star family member confirms Biden and Kamala were invited to the Arlington Memorial Service.

00:46:05.000 Quote, we never heard back from them.

00:46:08.000 This story was big.

00:46:08.000 Donald Trump, he lays a wreath down in honor of these 13 service members who died in Afghanistan.

00:46:15.000 Kamala Harris, Joe Biden are nowhere to be found.

00:46:17.000 Biden's on vacation.

00:46:18.000 Kamala's MIA.

00:46:19.000 Who knows what she's doing? 1.00

00:46:21.000 And this was really, really bad in the news cycle for them.

00:46:24.000 So what happens?

00:46:26.000 Instantly, the mass media jumps to attention and claims several things.

00:46:30.000 One, Trump's people were fighting with personnel there, and there was an altercation.

00:46:36.000 Another was that he was taking pictures of gravestones with the permission of other families.

00:46:40.000 They said, how dare you use the cemetery as a campaign prop?

00:46:44.000 Oh, look at him giving a thumbs up.

00:46:46.000 They had to turn it into a bad thing because Biden and Kamala were not there.

00:46:51.000 We even got this from CNN.

00:46:53.000 U.S.

00:46:53.000 Army rebukes Trump campaign for incident at Arlington National Cemetery.

00:46:57.000 The funny thing is, with all this criticism, Joe Biden did a campaign event at the cemetery as well.

00:47:02.000 People are sharing those photos.

00:47:04.000 It is so bad that Kamala and Biden snubbed these families.

00:47:07.000 They had to.

00:47:08.000 They're responsible for the deaths.

00:47:10.000 That the media jumped to their defense and made it a bad thing that Trump was honoring fallen troops.

00:47:16.000 Can you believe that?

00:47:17.000 I suppose yes, easily.

00:47:20.000 It's impressive, but also on brand for them.

00:47:23.000 I mean, it is sort of the spin you would expect.

00:47:26.000 It was interesting.

00:47:27.000 I've seen a couple interviews with Gold Star families who have said, we invited Trump.

00:47:31.000 We wanted him to be there.

00:47:32.000 Or when he was asked about the picture thing, he's like, look, I don't know anything about it.

00:47:35.000 Like, I just told the families if they wanted to take a picture, we could. 0.60

00:47:39.000 And it seems kind of pathetic that This is the criticism.

00:47:44.000 The 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.

00:48:02.000 They didn't even respond.

00:48:05.000 He's the cause of it.

00:48:06.000 That's why he can't go.

00:48:08.000 He can't face reality.

00:48:11.000 Well, 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.

00:48:25.000 You would be more concerned with your own candidate and their absence.

00:48:28.000 But 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.

00:48:34.000 Right.

00:48:34.000 Joe Biden checked his watch during... And that is fact-checked true by Snoop.

00:48:38.000 And it was confirmed in, like, Jen Psaki's book, right?

00:48:41.000 I mean, it's just pathetic how much they checked.

00:48:43.000 Well, I think she lied about it in her book. 0.91

00:48:45.000 Yeah, she tried to cover up her lie.

00:48:46.000 Yeah.

00:48:47.000 But I don't remember.

00:48:49.000 There was a TikTok I shared recently from a wife who her husband died not in the pullout from Afghanistan.

00:48:56.000 And she said also Biden was not there when they brought his body home.

00:49:01.000 So, I mean, it's like a repeated thing here.

00:49:05.000 It looks awful.

00:49:07.000 It is awful.

00:49:07.000 We had a guest on the show a couple weeks ago, Buzz, who was talking about how Hillary Clinton just didn't really respect the military.

00:49:14.000 Buzz Patterson?

00:49:15.000 Buzz Patterson.

00:49:15.000 And he was talking about how, you know, she didn't really want the military members who were in the White House to wear the uniform.

00:49:21.000 And I actually feel like I see that attitude reflected in a lot of younger Democrats.

00:49:25.000 There's sort of a level of, like, I don't want to say disgust with the military, but there's some kind of like, they look down on it.

00:49:33.000 They don't want to talk about it.

00:49:33.000 They're not interested.

00:49:34.000 They don't see any sort of like patriotic duty or any sort of level of necessary respect.

00:49:40.000 Do 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?

00:49:48.000 I think that on the other side, there is a fundamental lack of respect and appreciation for this country.

00:49:54.000 The 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.

00:50:00.000 I didn't feel pride in my country before that.

00:50:02.000 And 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.

00:50:09.000 For the first time in my life, I felt proud.

00:50:10.000 I bought all this like patriotic gear, and I had never felt that before.

00:50:14.000 And I'm just, I think a lot of people from my generation are like that.

00:50:19.000 I mean, maybe it's also a regional thing, like I said.

00:50:22.000 They do not respect this country, Democrats.

00:50:25.000 A lot of them do not.

00:50:28.000 I won't say every single one.

00:50:30.000 They don't respect this country.

00:50:31.000 I watched an advanced screening of Am I Racist?

00:50:38.000 the other night.

00:50:40.000 I won't give away any spoilers or anything, but he goes to Race to Dinner, which is something that I'm sure you guys have heard of.

00:50:47.000 It's two women who come and Rich white women pay for it. 1.00

00:50:50.000 Shame white women, yeah. 1.00

00:50:51.000 You cook a black woman and a brown woman dinner and they tell you how racist you are. 1.00

00:50:57.000 And 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. 0.99

00:51:10.000 I think that is something that is rampant on that side, and that's why they want to burn it all down.

00:51:16.000 So 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.

00:51:23.000 Wouldn't it have been nice if they all showed up?

00:51:25.000 Kamala and Trump, everyone.

00:51:27.000 You 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.

00:51:39.000 They will not do it.

00:51:42.000 It's funny.

00:51:43.000 Libertarians hate Trump and they absolutely will come on the show.

00:51:50.000 They 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.

00:52:00.000 He has no issue whatsoever defending his worldview.

00:52:03.000 He is steadfast in his beliefs.

00:52:05.000 He's done the research.

00:52:05.000 He 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.

00:52:14.000 It's fascinating to me because that shows something.

00:52:16.000 When 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.

00:52:29.000 Liberals don't know anything about what's going on.

00:52:32.000 You're allowed to dislike Trump.

00:52:35.000 You don't have to like the guy. 0.82

00:52:36.000 But their rationale for not liking him is nonsense.

00:52:39.000 It's fake. 0.95

00:52:40.000 So 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. 0.89

00:52:49.000 They go, nope.

00:52:51.000 Because 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.

00:53:00.000 And that's the funny thing about the libertarians, is the response from like, I love this, Dave Smith.

00:53:06.000 I say, Abraham Accords. 0.58

00:53:08.000 And Dave Smith says, I think those were bad, and here's why.

00:53:11.000 A story I told is that there was one guy, Who is Trump derangement syndrome that I had met when I was in D.C.

00:53:17.000 And he says, he's like a Trump supporter.

00:53:19.000 He's like, name one thing he's done.

00:53:21.000 One thing he's done.

00:53:22.000 And I said, Abraham Accords. 0.54

00:53:22.000 And he goes, you can't even name one thing. 0.54

00:53:24.000 And everyone looks.

00:53:25.000 And I was like, I just said the Abraham Accords. 0.89

00:53:27.000 You want me to go through a list of all the other things that he did I think are good?

00:53:30.000 And the guy was like, you can't name one thing.

00:53:31.000 One thing.

00:53:32.000 And then he wouldn't even look at me.

00:53:33.000 Turns around. 0.93

00:53:34.000 His brain doesn't work.

00:53:35.000 Dave Smith says, the Abraham Accords put pressure on Gaza and Palestine.

00:53:40.000 It cut them out of the negotiations, and then it created this moment where, of course, they were going to go nuclear.

00:53:46.000 And then it puts pressure on Iran, and it bubbles up the tensions.

00:53:51.000 I 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.

00:54:00.000 But 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.

00:54:08.000 The difference is, the overlap between the Mises Caucus Libertarians and MAGA is overwhelming.

00:54:14.000 The overlap is overwhelming.

00:54:15.000 And 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.

00:54:21.000 Or at least many of the prominent ones are saying we're voting for Trump.

00:54:24.000 Even RFK Jr.

00:54:25.000 and his Democrat cohorts are voting for Donald Trump.

00:54:28.000 It is insane to me.

00:54:30.000 But it is the reality that the left is the cult.

00:54:32.000 And the evidence you need is that they are unwilling to step outside the confines of their cult.

00:54:38.000 You're so correct that they're uninformed, and that's why I don't think they're evil.

00:54:42.000 You 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.

00:54:49.000 But that would be, you could argue the individual is not evil, but it's still the banality of evil.

00:54:53.000 Exactly.

00:54:54.000 At a certain point, like, we kind of have to be aware where these are critical times, and I get that it's hard.

00:54:59.000 But it's also it's very hard to realize everything that you believe is a lie.

00:55:02.000 It kind of feels like you're on drugs.

00:55:04.000 You know, like it's hard to just realize.

00:55:07.000 It's scary to realize you've been lied to and you're wrong about everything.

00:55:11.000 And I think it's easier to just believe Trump's evil and we're evil.

00:55:14.000 That being said, look, the right certainly has their people, too.

00:55:17.000 Of course.

00:55:17.000 Who are, you know, weirdos.

00:55:19.000 But I'll tell you a funny story.

00:55:20.000 I just heard that we're doing a, we're planning a big D.C.

00:55:23.000 We're trying to book members of Congress.

00:55:23.000 debate show.

00:55:25.000 And apparently the people that we're working with, who work with some of the big names,

00:55:29.000 the big members of Congress, who are friends and fans of the show, are hearing from rank

00:55:33.000 and file Republicans, like, isn't Tim anti-Trump now?

00:55:36.000 And they were...

00:55:37.000 Why?

00:55:38.000 Like, what?

00:55:39.000 Because like the RFK Jr.

00:55:40.000 tweet or something?

00:55:42.000 Like, 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?

00:55:52.000 When they're being asked to come on the show, the response should go, and?

00:55:55.000 Uh-huh.

00:55:56.000 Why should that matter?

00:55:58.000 Do you want to go on a prominent podcast and discuss why Trump is correct or why your policies are correct?

00:56:04.000 Does it matter if you're going to be arguing with someone who thinks you're wrong?

00:56:07.000 Yeah.

00:56:08.000 You 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. 0.99

00:56:19.000 I said, a lot of atheists are arguing against stupid theists and not smart theists. 0.98

00:56:26.000 And 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. 0.99

00:56:39.000 But 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. 0.83

00:56:50.000 And so, you know, the challenge then becomes for a lot of these Democrats, that's who their target is going to be. 0.99

00:56:57.000 They're going to see 10,000 of the stupidest Trump supporters, and they're going to hyper focus on the reality, though. 1.00

00:57:03.000 It's a tendency. 1.00

00:57:05.000 On the right, there are relatively few people, compared to the left, who are uninformed about why they're voting.

00:57:10.000 But they exist.

00:57:11.000 And you'll see the men on the street, interviewers, and they're like, Trump's good, because he's gonna bring freedom. 1.00

00:57:16.000 And then they go, oh, this person's so dumb. 0.99

00:57:17.000 Well, you know, maybe that person is dumb, but at least they're accidentally in the right direction. 1.00

00:57:23.000 The Democrats overwhelmingly are ignorant about what's going on and unwilling to correct it. 0.99

00:57:29.000 And 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. 0.99

00:57:36.000 They're not rooting for a common good. 0.98

00:57:38.000 Yeah, 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.

00:57:48.000 That's my word I was going to use.

00:57:49.000 My brother told me a story one time.

00:57:51.000 He was in the Marine Corps and he was in uniform.

00:57:54.000 I think he was on leave traveling through the Atlanta airport and some woman came and like threw a drink on him.

00:57:59.000 Yeah.

00:57:59.000 Which I was just like, why?

00:58:02.000 That's crazy.

00:58:02.000 You know what I mean?

00:58:04.000 He was like, I don't know.

00:58:05.000 I just kept walking.

00:58:06.000 But it is interesting.

00:58:07.000 And that was over a decade ago at this point.

00:58:10.000 I 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.

00:58:19.000 Do 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?

00:58:32.000 Or for the most part, do your friends kind of ignore the political transition?

00:58:35.000 Oh, no, I have no friends.

00:58:36.000 I have no friends.

00:58:38.000 You always had no friends?

00:58:39.000 You lost them since you moved over?

00:58:41.000 No, yeah, I've lost everyone.

00:58:43.000 Yeah, no, I mean, you know, there's actually a strong conservative patriot movement in LA.

00:58:48.000 I feel like when you're behind the belly of the beast, you kind of get more close knit.

00:58:52.000 But no, I have never heard anyone say, you know what, you might be right.

00:58:56.000 Maybe they say it to themselves at night as they comment about me viciously.

00:59:01.000 I don't know.

00:59:02.000 I don't know either.

00:59:03.000 I grew up, you know, I feel like we had kind of opposite experiences because I grew up in Connecticut, which was always blue. 0.94

00:59:09.000 And so All of my friends growing up were default Democrats and a lot of them still are.

00:59:14.000 And so I felt like I was always the odd person by being conservative or libertarian leaning.

00:59:20.000 I think they must have gotten used to me.

00:59:23.000 So I feel like the conversations are more peaceful because I was just always like this.

00:59:27.000 Are they still able to be your friend though?

00:59:29.000 Because I feel like now everything is so intense.

00:59:31.000 I have some that are and either don't talk about it or they're like, I don't know, things are very weird.

00:59:31.000 It depends.

00:59:36.000 Or they're helpful because I don't always know what the perspective is and they're open to talking with me.

00:59:41.000 Like, well, this is why I feel this way about this issue.

00:59:43.000 But I do have, there's one in particular, like childhood friend who got super radical.

00:59:47.000 And 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.

01:00:01.000 And I was like, well, I don't know.

01:00:02.000 Well, you say so much stuff she agrees with.

01:00:03.000 And then we got into this crazy conversation about trans stuff where she told me that top surgery wasn't a double mastectomy.

01:00:09.000 I was like, I don't think you know what top surgery is.

01:00:13.000 What do you think?

01:00:13.000 Is there like another?

01:00:14.000 She says it's something else.

01:00:16.000 I was like, they cut off the shoulders?

01:00:17.000 Pop hat?

01:00:17.000 You take the pop hat off?

01:00:20.000 It was a very, it was a difficult conversation because it's so emotional on one side.

01:00:23.000 You're like, well, let me present you with some facts and they're like, I don't want to hear it.

01:00:26.000 You've upset me and I don't, I can't talk about that.

01:00:28.000 And that's the challenge with, you know, we're talking about the IV thing, IVF, sorry, where Trump is saying he's for it.

01:00:33.000 You can try and show it to your family members, but the reality is a lot of them are going to go, he's lying.

01:00:36.000 I don't care.

01:00:37.000 Oh yeah.

01:00:37.000 A hundred percent.

01:00:38.000 That's my, this weekend, that'll be this weekend.

01:00:41.000 Labor Day.

01:00:41.000 It's going to be fun.

01:00:42.000 Labor Day weekend with the family.

01:00:44.000 It's not Thanksgiving, but you know, it's close.

01:00:46.000 Because it is hard to accept that you're wrong.

01:00:49.000 It's so hard.

01:00:49.000 I 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.

01:01:00.000 There'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.

01:01:15.000 Jordan Peterson's a great example.

01:01:17.000 I absolutely love this about him.

01:01:18.000 When 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.

01:01:31.000 A business should be allowed to kick anybody out if they want to and not service them. 0.98

01:01:34.000 And then he says, what about if they're black? 0.99

01:01:36.000 What about black people? 0.75

01:01:38.000 And then Jordan Peterson goes, well, maybe I was wrong about that.

01:01:42.000 Just like that.

01:01:43.000 He was like, oh, yeah.

01:01:44.000 Yeah.

01:01:44.000 Good point.

01:01:45.000 Maybe I was wrong.

01:01:46.000 It was that easy for him to be like, oh, I hadn't considered it.

01:01:48.000 Yeah.

01:01:49.000 But it's these TDS sufferers who will not, they will not accept that you're showing them the proof.

01:01:55.000 Like, shout out to CKY, the band, and Jess Margera. 0.89

01:02:00.000 So I've listened to CKY since I was a kid, right?

01:02:02.000 You know, the Bam Margera MTV era. 0.92

01:02:05.000 And he's always posting this anti-Trump stuff, and I'm always responding to him, because I'm a big fan of their band.

01:02:09.000 They're legend.

01:02:10.000 They're epic.

01:02:11.000 And so I told him, I was like, dude, CKY is too good for you to be posting this nonsense.

01:02:15.000 Like, I am going to tweet at you, invite him on the show.

01:02:17.000 But anyway, In one of the conversations, he responds to someone else.

01:02:22.000 Someone responds saying, you know, these Trump supporters will defend him no matter what.

01:02:26.000 You can bring up that he's flying around on Epstein's plane and they won't accept it.

01:02:29.000 They'll claim it's fake news.

01:02:31.000 And then I said something like, interesting.

01:02:33.000 Come on the show.

01:02:34.000 Let's talk about it.

01:02:35.000 And 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?

01:02:43.000 I said, yes, it's real.

01:02:45.000 Now come on the show.

01:02:46.000 Like, I don't know what you think I'm going to say.

01:02:47.000 Like, there's a news story that says Trump is doing it.

01:02:50.000 OK, let's have the conversation.

01:02:52.000 It is the other side that will tell you, no, Trump's lying.

01:02:54.000 It's fake.

01:02:55.000 Oh, absolutely.

01:02:56.000 I mean, look at how so many of us didn't take the medical therapy that Trump continues to push.

01:03:01.000 We are not a cult.

01:03:02.000 We are.

01:03:02.000 We do not do.

01:03:03.000 Yes, exactly.

01:03:04.000 We do not do everything he says.

01:03:06.000 We're not a cult.

01:03:07.000 It's not just that.

01:03:08.000 The 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.

01:03:20.000 It'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.

01:03:39.000 I will never vote for Trump.

01:03:41.000 I don't care.

01:03:41.000 Blah, blah, blah.

01:03:44.000 It's your fault.

01:03:45.000 And then two days later, he says, I have no choice.

01:03:48.000 I'm going to be voting for Donald Trump.

01:03:49.000 And they called that an L. And I'm like, that's a win. 1.00

01:03:52.000 That 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.

01:04:00.000 And 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.

01:04:12.000 That's a win!

01:04:13.000 Absolutely.

01:04:13.000 That's a win right there.

01:04:14.000 Yeah.

01:04:15.000 I mean, this is kind of tertiary, but I sometimes get, like, why did it take you so long?

01:04:18.000 I think we welcome everyone.

01:04:20.000 Until the day God says it's over and we're all out of here, like, it is not too late, and you welcome everybody.

01:04:26.000 Because we are becoming the umbrella party, and that is a wonderful thing, I think.

01:04:31.000 Yeah.

01:04:31.000 And this is why I was very irked by the insulting of Joe Rogan.

01:04:36.000 Even Trump on Truth Social saying he's going to get booed or whatever.

01:04:39.000 And it's funny because, you know, give a shout out to whoever.

01:04:41.000 We had two members email.

01:04:43.000 Two! 0.99

01:04:44.000 Saying like, you know, how dare you insult these people, whatever.

01:04:48.000 I'm not going to be a member anymore.

01:04:50.000 And I was just like, whatever, dude.

01:04:52.000 Thank you for your support up until this point, but dude, I'm not going to sit here and entertain Trump supporters attacking moderates.

01:05:00.000 We're trying to win, man.

01:05:02.000 We'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.

01:05:10.000 Yeah, that has been disappointing.

01:05:11.000 And there's been a few people I've seen who are criticizing him for surrounding himself with Democrats, with Tulsi and RFK.

01:05:18.000 And it's just we're gaining more than we're losing.

01:05:20.000 The 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.

01:05:28.000 And so I'm for it.

01:05:29.000 RFK Jr.

01:05:30.000 is tremendous.

01:05:32.000 It is fascinating to see.

01:05:33.000 I don't know if you guys saw Nicole Shanahan put together this video about TDS.

01:05:37.000 Her team's always working, she said.

01:05:39.000 Yeah, let me pull this one up so I can play it for you guys.

01:05:41.000 So they got like 2 million, 3 million within an hour or three.

01:05:46.000 She's been kind of a sleeper hit for me.

01:05:48.000 When they announced her, I was like, but who and what?

01:05:51.000 But she's been really interesting when she's interviewed.

01:05:53.000 She's coming through in the clutch.

01:05:54.000 All right, so we're going to play this.

01:05:56.000 This is a commercial, a fake commercial.

01:05:59.000 This was made by Nicole Shanann.

01:06:00.000 This is RFK Jr.' 's VP candidate.

01:06:05.000 And 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?

01:06:14.000 Do 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?

01:06:25.000 Are 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?

01:06:36.000 If so, you might be struggling from TDS.

01:06:39.000 Introducing independence.

01:06:41.000 Independence allows you the freedom to finally think independently once again.

01:06:46.000 Instead of believing everything you hear from the mainstream media, independence allows for constructive critical thinking.

01:06:52.000 I used to hear people on the news say things like Donald Trump and the movement he has encouraged are a threat to democracy.

01:06:58.000 And I instantly believed it.

01:07:01.000 Yes, 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.

01:07:13.000 Independence may not be for everyone.

01:07:16.000 If 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.

01:07:27.000 Common 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.

01:07:39.000 I used to blindly hate whoever my party was running against.

01:07:42.000 I didn't care about facts or policy because I was hopelessly indoctrinated.

01:07:46.000 With independence, I'm much more interested in policies that uphold democracy, and I truly care about the health of our country and its citizens.

01:07:53.000 Ask your doctor if independence is right for you, and enjoy your freedoms once again.

01:07:59.000 I just want to point out how I love that Democrats radicalized R.F.K.

01:08:03.000 Jr.

01:08:04.000 He was trying to run as a Democrat.

01:08:06.000 He called Columbus Day Indigenous People's Day.

01:08:08.000 He got relatively irked that I brought that up and said, you're losing your credibility when you say that.

01:08:14.000 And he's progressive.

01:08:16.000 He was for gun control.

01:08:18.000 He runs as a Democrat.

01:08:19.000 The Democrats cheat, keep him and Shanahan off, sue them into oblivion to block them.

01:08:26.000 And basically, it wasn't a...

01:08:28.000 I don't want to say the joke, it's crass, okay?

01:08:31.000 But they say, in this instance, you don't call it a red pill, you'd call it something else, but let's just call it a big red pill.

01:08:36.000 Let's call it that.

01:08:40.000 Okay, I'll just tell you, they call it the red suppository.

01:08:43.000 When 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.

01:08:53.000 But for real, it's like, RFK's been going at this for less than a year, right?

01:08:57.000 Like, 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.

01:09:07.000 They censored him during COVID, and he's sitting here being like, What is going on?

01:09:10.000 Did Trump take off the ballot?

01:09:12.000 But I think Shanahan's the stronger, red-pilled voice.

01:09:18.000 4.4 million views on this commercial.

01:09:19.000 Who knew she was... I had no idea she was this based.

01:09:21.000 She's an independent.

01:09:22.000 She's moderate, right?

01:09:23.000 And so she wants to run as a Democrat, and the Democrats lie, cheat, steal, censor, support Big Pharma, do all these things.

01:09:29.000 And then I think they just snapped.

01:09:31.000 They were just like, this... MAGA.

01:09:35.000 RFK tweeted what MAGA was.

01:09:36.000 I think you can hear it in her voice.

01:09:38.000 Like when she did the interview right before RFK withdrew, she sounds like betrayed.

01:09:45.000 Like 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.

01:09:54.000 We're not going to support you.

01:09:55.000 They 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.

01:10:02.000 I 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.

01:10:33.000 Maybe they're pulling an Ozymandias from Watchmen.

01:10:36.000 You guys know that reference?

01:10:37.000 No.

01:10:38.000 So, spoiler alert for a graphic novel from the 80s, he simulates an alien invasion killing tens of millions of people to end the Cold War.

01:10:45.000 So he intentionally, and he plays the villain, but for the purpose of forcing, you know, It's something good they're doing for us.

01:10:55.000 I mean, he's evil. 0.60

01:10:56.000 He murders.

01:10:58.000 It's utilitarianism in this story.

01:11:00.000 He simulates an alien invasion because the U.S.

01:11:03.000 and Soviet Union are on the verge of nuclear annihilation.

01:11:06.000 And so by having an alien attack the world, it forces the U.S.

01:11:10.000 and Soviet Union to unite against a common enemy.

01:11:13.000 And so maybe Democrats just seem so apocalyptically bad and evil.

01:11:17.000 It's because they're trying to unite liberal and conservative Americans.

01:11:20.000 Because 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.

01:11:31.000 Maybe the end result is the factions of America that were liberal and conservative are now unified.

01:11:37.000 I don't know.

01:11:38.000 So they know aliens are going to invade us in not too long.

01:11:41.000 They see them coming.

01:11:43.000 So this is our plan.

01:11:44.000 We got a 10-year plan to get the world together.

01:11:47.000 So what we're going to do is we're going to, you know, I don't think aliens are coming.

01:11:50.000 go radical. We're not going to unite us. Aliens will not unite us at this point.

01:11:53.000 I just... I just... I hope those onlys are only to distract from what Hunter Biden is doing.

01:11:56.000 Yeah, I don't... I don't... We haven't had one in a while.

01:11:58.000 I don't think aliens are coming. I'm thinking... I would not be surprised, considering how miserably

01:12:03.000 Democrats have been behaving, like acting, that if someone came to me and said that

01:12:07.000 leadership in the Democratic Party intentionally is sabotaging everything to force as many

01:12:13.000 people into one political party as possible, I'd believe it.

01:12:15.000 Oh, and then take over that and go total totalitarian.

01:12:20.000 Sure, possibly.

01:12:21.000 But they're turning the Republican Party into the big tent party.

01:12:24.000 Exactly.

01:12:25.000 I don't know why you'd do that.

01:12:27.000 And I'm like, is it an accident?

01:12:29.000 Probably, I guess. 1.00

01:12:30.000 I mean, the simple solution is that they're just really dumb. 1.00

01:12:32.000 It's a very losing strategy. 0.99

01:12:34.000 Maybe, but the thing ultimately comes down to procedure.

01:12:38.000 The election is not about the argument.

01:12:39.000 The election is about procedure.

01:12:41.000 And that's the frustrating thing about Trump being like, I'm going to be this for this policy or that policy. 0.99

01:12:46.000 The 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? 1.00

01:12:56.000 When 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? 0.99

01:13:05.000 I don't have one.

01:13:07.000 And they're gonna go, you don't have one?

01:13:08.000 No.

01:13:09.000 That's not a message to help you win votes.

01:13:12.000 What do I need to win votes for?

01:13:13.000 Well, you're trying to win the election, right?

01:13:15.000 We're going to win the election.

01:13:16.000 Okay, well, don't you need to convince people?

01:13:18.000 No.

01:13:18.000 We're going to knock on their door, tell them to fill out their mail-in ballot, and we're going to win.

01:13:21.000 So I could literally stand here right now and tell you I don't care about the American people.

01:13:25.000 Don't matter.

01:13:25.000 We're going to knock on their door.

01:13:26.000 They're not going to hear any of this interview.

01:13:28.000 No one's going to care.

01:13:28.000 And then they're going to vote for me.

01:13:31.000 That is actually truer than it should be.

01:13:34.000 Yep.

01:13:35.000 But they have to keep up appearances.

01:13:36.000 Yeah.

01:13:37.000 I mean, it doesn't seem like they're trying, but they try, I guess.

01:13:41.000 I would love to do that at some point.

01:13:42.000 I 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.

01:13:49.000 And then just be like, yeah, we're basically here to steal power.

01:13:53.000 The 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.

01:14:02.000 And 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.

01:14:08.000 And the middle class can screw off all they care. 0.70

01:14:12.000 It'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.

01:14:20.000 That is crazy that not a single American voted for this person.

01:14:25.000 For Harris.

01:14:25.000 Implementation, yeah.

01:14:27.000 So it is true that no matter what she does, no matter what she says, no matter what her policies are, That's their girl.

01:14:33.000 That's nuts.

01:14:34.000 If Trump can't win on procedure, which is the only thing that matters, he can't win.

01:14:38.000 And then the best thing is, so you do an interview, and this would be a great mock interview,

01:14:42.000 right?

01:14:43.000 Just like to make a point.

01:14:44.000 The interviewer says, OK, well, I mean, what if this interview does actually end up going

01:14:48.000 viral and people end up hating you and despising you over it?

01:14:51.000 My response is, oh, I mean, it doesn't matter.

01:14:53.000 The governors and the judges in these swing states are going to shift things in our favor no matter what happens. 0.71

01:14:59.000 No 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.

01:15:06.000 And 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.

01:15:11.000 And then we'll just arrest anybody who tries to stop us.

01:15:16.000 Next question.

01:15:17.000 Did you hear about Pennsylvania?

01:15:18.000 That they're counting, they ruled that they're counting ballots that are not dated or dated differently?

01:15:23.000 Oh, right, right, right.

01:15:24.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:15:24.000 So that's another loss.

01:15:26.000 And that's, well, there's one reason to do that.

01:15:30.000 Aside from cheating?

01:15:32.000 No, no, there's only one reason.

01:15:34.000 There's only one reason to count ballots that have incorrect dates.

01:15:39.000 And it is that if the total comes in against you and you've lost, you can then bring in ballots afterwards with no dates.

01:15:46.000 And then there you go.

01:15:48.000 In the CNN interview, they referred to Pennsylvania as a must-win state for Kamala Harris.

01:15:48.000 Count those.

01:15:54.000 I mean, whatever happens procedurally in Pennsylvania is really important because, you know, Trump has a path to victory through the other states.

01:16:04.000 She needs Pennsylvania. 0.99

01:16:05.000 Yeah.

01:16:06.000 Yep.

01:16:07.000 Nate Silver said that if she does not win Pennsylvania, her chance of winning is 4%.

01:16:12.000 And my insight as a Pennsylvanian is it's 50-50 still.

01:16:17.000 Nothing's really changed.

01:16:18.000 If you're voting for Dem, you're voting for Dem.

01:16:19.000 If you're voting for R, you're voting for R. No one I know has changed.

01:16:23.000 Maybe my dad might because he watched IRL now a little bit since I'm here, so a little convincing.

01:16:30.000 So we might got two, two extras.

01:16:32.000 That's a really good idea.

01:16:34.000 All we have to do is bring on people whose families are Democrats onto the show.

01:16:38.000 That's it.

01:16:38.000 Yeah.

01:16:39.000 It's going to work.

01:16:40.000 Because you're like, all my parents are Democrats and you come on the show and now your parents watch the show.

01:16:45.000 And they understand the truth.

01:16:46.000 They're like, wait a second.

01:16:47.000 That's not what's going on in real life.

01:16:50.000 Well, listen, I've got some Democrat siblings, so maybe we're gonna get two-fer here.

01:16:54.000 We're in California, so we need Pennsylvania-specific people.

01:16:59.000 I'm just kidding.

01:17:00.000 We're not using the show to lobby.

01:17:02.000 You said at the beginning of the show that you were an atheist, but you're not an atheist now?

01:17:07.000 How did you move from being an atheist to not-atheist?

01:17:07.000 No.

01:17:07.000 What happened there?

01:17:10.000 It's weird.

01:17:11.000 My political shift came first.

01:17:12.000 It was just listening to conservative voices, honestly.

01:17:17.000 A lot of actually Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager, who are not Christians.

01:17:22.000 But you are Christian now? 0.80

01:17:23.000 I am Christian, yeah.

01:17:24.000 I was unhappy in my life before COVID, and I was feeling very purposeless and unfulfilled.

01:17:29.000 So there was that emptiness before COVID, and I feel like COVID highlighted the cracks that were already there.

01:17:34.000 The response to COVID.

01:17:35.000 I'm sorry, I should be clear.

01:17:36.000 I don't like when people do that.

01:17:37.000 The response to COVID.

01:17:38.000 Highlighted the cracks that were already there.

01:17:41.000 And I just kind of started listening to these different voices and I realized, oh, there's actually a different way to live.

01:17:46.000 There's a better way to live.

01:17:48.000 There's a way to live with more wisdom.

01:17:50.000 And I became a Christian because I was listening to so many conservative people.

01:17:54.000 And it was very hard to go back to church because they were all closed in L.A.

01:17:59.000 A lot of them were.

01:17:59.000 There was one that I know of that fought and stayed open.

01:18:03.000 Interesting how that happened.

01:18:04.000 When people were starting to reevaluate their lives, churches were closed.

01:18:07.000 That was a big mistake.

01:18:08.000 When you started hearing from, I mean, Prager and Shapiro, they're Jewish.

01:18:12.000 Yeah.

01:18:13.000 Were they making arguments for God that was convincing and compelling to you?

01:18:17.000 Yeah, that for God, and really just for, I think, a different way to live, because I knew the way that I was living was not correct.

01:18:25.000 And so I, because I couldn't go to church, I just started, I was raised Catholic, I should say that, but I had left for a very long time.

01:18:30.000 So I just started opening my Bible.

01:18:33.000 It was just being around this culture, not that, oh, this is what I have to do, but just these people seem happier.

01:18:39.000 They seem more joyful, to use the word of the hour, and they seem more fulfilled in their lives.

01:18:45.000 I want what they are having, and that is God, you know?

01:18:50.000 Why are you laughing at me?

01:18:52.000 No, it's a good feeling.

01:18:53.000 It's nice to have a warm heart.

01:18:53.000 It's good.

01:18:55.000 And that's why we do have to be Christians.

01:18:55.000 I agree.

01:18:58.000 We 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.

01:19:06.000 I was a conservative first, a Republican, or I started leaning this way, and then I became Christian, you know?

01:19:12.000 So sometimes the switch is reversed.

01:19:14.000 And 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.

01:19:24.000 I mean, it did with me, you know?

01:19:26.000 Yeah, 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.

01:19:36.000 And so It's weird that people like there's a lot of people that tweet that I'm an atheist.

01:19:41.000 And it's like the weirdest thing, because I'm like a fervent pro God, but just not in any organized religion.

01:19:47.000 I mean, they tweet everything about you.

01:19:49.000 So yeah, whatever.

01:19:50.000 Yeah, I guess.

01:19:50.000 Yeah.

01:19:51.000 No, if you like conservatives, you're not an atheist.

01:19:53.000 Conservatives calling me an atheist is the weirdest thing.

01:19:56.000 It's those purity people.

01:19:58.000 It may be because... Some people want to whine.

01:20:00.000 But it's because I don't follow Christianity, and so they view that as atheism, I guess?

01:20:03.000 I'm a really bad Christian, you know?

01:20:03.000 I don't know.

01:20:05.000 I'm bad.

01:20:05.000 So maybe I'm more like you.

01:20:07.000 I don't know what I believe, but I... yeah.

01:20:09.000 Do you go to church?

01:20:09.000 You know?

01:20:11.000 I do, but not as frequently as I should.

01:20:13.000 Honestly, the churches being closed in LA really did a number on me.

01:20:17.000 I can't really stomach that.

01:20:18.000 All the Catholic churches were closed.

01:20:20.000 I have a problem with that.

01:20:21.000 Pardon me, but...

01:20:22.000 I love church.

01:20:23.000 I grew up going to Catholic Mass, and I have fond memories of everyone's there.

01:20:30.000 They were singing.

01:20:32.000 On Sunday, they would have a potluck afterwards.

01:20:33.000 They were very fun family things.

01:20:35.000 I'm just not a Christian.

01:20:36.000 I 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.

01:20:48.000 You know, there's a lot of people who don't go to church, a lot of people who aren't Christian necessarily.

01:20:53.000 I think Christians probably would appreciate non-Christians coming to church. 1.00

01:20:56.000 Absolutely.

01:20:57.000 It's a step towards conversion.

01:20:59.000 Yeah.

01:20:59.000 But I think a halfway point would be we want to do this thing called Saturday Morning Cartoons.

01:21:04.000 Open the cafe, bring your family, bring your kids, 6 a.m., 7 a.m.

01:21:07.000 or 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.

01:21:16.000 We need that in our communities.

01:21:16.000 Yeah.

01:21:18.000 That's why I think—we talked about this a long time ago too—whether or not you believe in God.

01:21:23.000 Church, I believe, is a necessary function for a functioning society.

01:21:28.000 It brings the community together.

01:21:31.000 They're talking to each other, they're sharing ideas, they're sharing concerns, and that creates a unified local culture.

01:21:36.000 Yeah.

01:21:37.000 And at the end of the day, we're all bad Christians.

01:21:39.000 I mean, that's the whole idea behind being a Christian.

01:21:41.000 So absolutely come to church, even if you're not a believer, I would say.

01:21:45.000 I think people crave purpose and structure.

01:21:49.000 There's a whole line of books now.

01:21:52.000 You can look for books that are like, how do I find what to do with my life or discern whatever.

01:21:56.000 And maybe if you're discerning a career, that makes sense.

01:21:59.000 But I think for a lot of people, what they're actually missing is a moral structure through which to navigate the world. And

01:22:07.000 I think when, you know, I understand why so many people are disenfranchised with religion. I

01:22:11.000 understand, you know, there are definitely churches that have hurt people and create a bad

01:22:17.000 rap. But I think alternatively, having nothing is worse because you are so lost without

01:22:23.000 something to guide you.

01:22:24.000 Oh yeah.

01:22:25.000 Let's jump to this from the AP.

01:22:26.000 This is one of the biggest stories today.

01:22:27.000 We saved it for last.

01:22:29.000 From the AP News, top Brazilian judge orders suspension of X platform in Brazil amid feud with Musk.

01:22:35.000 Additionally, Brazil institutes a $9,000 per day fine for anyone who uses a VPN to access X. This is absolutely insane.

01:22:47.000 The government of Brazil has gone crackpot totalitarian in an effort to stop people from being able to see information outside of their control.

01:22:57.000 He has banned a social network and is threatening to fine $9,000 a day.

01:23:02.000 It's basically the average salary of a Brazilian.

01:23:05.000 Actually, and we'll check, too.

01:23:07.000 I'll check the GDP of Brazil right now.

01:23:10.000 But this is absolutely crazy.

01:23:12.000 And my concern is these types of moves, they're coming everywhere.

01:23:16.000 France arresting Pavel Durov.

01:23:18.000 We're going to see a lot more of this.

01:23:20.000 Elon Musk, if he travels outside of the United States, they might arrest him.

01:23:23.000 Yes, they will arrest him, 100%.

01:23:25.000 There's no doubt.

01:23:26.000 If anyone has any extradition with Brazil, I see it coming. 1.00

01:23:26.000 He goes to anywhere. 1.00

01:23:31.000 The world's getting crazy.

01:23:32.000 It's going hardcore left.

01:23:34.000 There's gonna be zero freedoms.

01:23:35.000 So that's why we got to get Trump in.

01:23:36.000 That's why we have to have a big tent.

01:23:38.000 It's about $9,000 to $10,000 per person per year in Brazil.

01:23:41.000 That's wild.

01:23:42.000 They're basically saying a year's salary for every day that you try to use X. They want to keep the people in the dark.

01:23:51.000 What's Elon Musk's next move here?

01:23:54.000 I mean, where does he go from this sort of challenge from Brazil? 1.00

01:24:00.000 Man, I don't know.

01:24:01.000 Rumble's already out, too.

01:24:03.000 Chris Pavlovsky said, Brazil no longer has Rumble, and from media reports, they will no longer have X.

01:24:03.000 So I'll pull this up.

01:24:09.000 World powers don't want Rumble, they don't want X, they don't want Telegram.

01:24:11.000 They want to control information and our companies do not allow them to.

01:24:15.000 There are no other large companies fighting for the freedoms like we are.

01:24:18.000 We put everything on the line for it.

01:24:19.000 One CEO is in jail.

01:24:21.000 Advertisers boycott our companies to try and cut our economic lifeline, but they underestimate our support among the people.

01:24:27.000 The people keep us alive and keep us going.

01:24:29.000 If you want to help us join X Premium, join Rumble Premium.

01:24:32.000 If it gets big enough, you'll help us change the game.

01:24:35.000 Yeah, this is absolutely crazy.

01:24:37.000 That's a great tweet.

01:24:38.000 I didn't see that.

01:24:39.000 Makes so much sense.

01:24:41.000 That's exactly what's going on.

01:24:43.000 And nobody's seen it.

01:24:44.000 I think, why does this matter?

01:24:46.000 Brazil bending X. If Trump does not win, this is coming here. 0.94

01:24:52.000 You're gonna get arrested for posting a meme of a dog, you know, eating a cheeseburger or something.

01:24:57.000 You've already had that guy arrested, real quick, for saying to vote for Trump, or Kamala- Oh, right.

01:25:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:25:04.000 Was it Douglas Mackey?

01:25:05.000 Was that his name?

01:25:06.000 Douglas Mackey.

01:25:07.000 I think so.

01:25:07.000 He made the meme text to vote or whatever?

01:25:09.000 Yeah.

01:25:10.000 And 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.

01:25:17.000 What other social media platforms does Brazil allow right now?

01:25:20.000 I'm not super familiar with their tech, but they must do something to comply that X is not willing to do.

01:25:29.000 China has basically scared every other platform away. 0.82

01:25:32.000 They're able to only have Basically sanctioned social media platforms by deterring everyone else by making it difficult for them to operate there.

01:25:42.000 I mean, it seems to be working there.

01:25:45.000 Is this where Brazil is drawing their inspiration from?

01:25:50.000 No one knows.

01:25:53.000 Somebody bring me a Brazilian expert.

01:25:54.000 I was looking up the stats for what's being used in Brazil.

01:25:58.000 But yeah, they... Like, can you go on Facebook in Brazil?

01:26:02.000 Yeah.

01:26:03.000 They had X until today!

01:26:05.000 What is the reason Brazil gave misinformation?

01:26:08.000 Yeah, they want them to censor people.

01:26:09.000 Right, so Chris Pavlovsky has this tweet from December saying,

01:26:12.000 Recently, the Brazilian courts demanded we remove certain creators from Rumble.

01:26:16.000 As part of our mission to restore a free and open internet, we have committed not to move

01:26:19.000 the goalposts on our content policies. Users with unpopular views are free to access our platform

01:26:24.000 on the same terms as our millions of other users.

01:26:27.000 Accordingly, we have decided to disable access to Rumble for users in Brazil while we challenge the legality of Brazil court's demands.

01:26:32.000 And they're going to say they're disappointed.

01:26:35.000 I mean, I'll pull this up because I think it was...

01:26:38.000 They 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.

01:26:49.000 The company hasn't had a representative in the country since earlier this month.

01:26:52.000 Elon 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.

01:27:02.000 So 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.

01:27:16.000 CEO.

01:27:18.000 Yeah, coming to a country near you, I guess.

01:27:20.000 This is the future.

01:27:21.000 And it's sad.

01:27:23.000 Not even a guarantee if Trump wins, this will stop.

01:27:27.000 100%.

01:27:27.000 It's where we're going.

01:27:28.000 Everything's becoming more, you can talk this, you can say that.

01:27:31.000 Even the right people on the right are becoming more authoritarianism, to be honest.

01:27:35.000 Becoming more authoritarian?

01:27:36.000 Yeah.

01:27:36.000 In what way?

01:27:37.000 And you can't, you know, like, they don't like to say, let's just say transgender.

01:27:42.000 Or abortion.

01:27:43.000 They don't want it at all.

01:27:44.000 They want this, they want zero.

01:27:45.000 Oh, right.

01:27:46.000 You know.

01:27:46.000 Yeah.

01:27:48.000 Zero tolerance.

01:27:49.000 Yeah, 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.

01:28:06.000 Yeah, but they still let you speak about it.

01:28:07.000 Obviously, they're not in charge.

01:28:08.000 I mean, the right has no power at all.

01:28:09.000 Yeah, so far, because we don't own it.

01:28:11.000 Because we don't own the power.

01:28:12.000 I still feel like we... I mean, I agree with you.

01:28:14.000 Because we want to argue against these bad ideas.

01:28:17.000 That's the best way.

01:28:18.000 I don't know.

01:28:18.000 But, yeah.

01:28:20.000 If I was in charge, I would let everyone talk.

01:28:22.000 Exactly.

01:28:23.000 Yeah, this is nuts.

01:28:25.000 I'm so grateful for Axe.

01:28:26.000 It's like the only place where I feel free at all.

01:28:29.000 And the only place I've ever been able to make any kind of money at all.

01:28:33.000 Everyone calls me a grifter, but it's the only way I've been able to grift is on Axe.

01:28:39.000 Well done.

01:28:39.000 Thank you.

01:28:41.000 So I tweeted earlier, if you have three kids, then you should be exempt from all taxes.

01:28:47.000 I tweeted this at 7.29, so we're getting ready for this show.

01:28:50.000 I just thought of it, and we were talking about the child tax credit, and I was like, if you're above replacement, three kids, tax-free.

01:28:57.000 Because I think there are some countries that actually do this.

01:28:59.000 We're talking about child tax credit.

01:29:00.000 No, no, no.

01:29:01.000 You, like, if people aren't having kids, there's no country.

01:29:04.000 But it's got... I think Hungary has a policy like that.

01:29:06.000 Right.

01:29:07.000 It's got 1,700 responses and 1,000 retweets, which means it's going to make money.

01:29:13.000 That's how it works.

01:29:14.000 You get money based on engagement.

01:29:16.000 And then people will accuse me of posting things like this because they're like, he's engagement farming for money or whatever.

01:29:22.000 Certainly I'm not.

01:29:22.000 Because I got a notification that X paid me.

01:29:26.000 Let me pull it up and see what the number is.

01:29:27.000 It's actually a good policy, too.

01:29:29.000 So I got paid today $4,205.86 for the August 16th to the 30th.

01:29:31.000 So for the month of August in total, I've got $9,832.92.

01:29:32.000 Is that right?

01:29:33.000 $9,832.30.

01:29:34.000 I'm sorry, $34.92.

01:29:34.000 for the August 16th to the 30th.

01:29:37.000 So for the month of August in total, I've got $9,832.92.

01:29:43.000 Is that right?

01:29:49.000 $9,832, I'm sorry, $34.92.

01:29:54.000 Yeah, I was off.

01:29:56.000 I'm sitting here thinking like if I actually tweeted five times per day,

01:29:59.000 If you're grifting, you mean?

01:30:01.000 If you're actually grifting?

01:30:02.000 Right.

01:30:02.000 I mean, I don't know if I would say even grifting is the right word.

01:30:04.000 If 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.

01:30:14.000 Grifting is like intentionally being antagonistic to make people respond to you, whereas I think genuinely making a post for positive interaction.

01:30:24.000 But 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.

01:30:32.000 That's kind of crazy.

01:30:32.000 I mean, that's fantastic that X has developed that.

01:30:35.000 And there's a real opportunity for people to figure out how to be creators on that platform.

01:30:39.000 So, one of the biggest threats that X brings is people can actually make money by doing news and actually breaking the media narrative.

01:30:51.000 YouTube is a bit more difficult.

01:30:54.000 It's a bit more censorious, but not the worst.

01:30:56.000 Facebook is really bad.

01:30:57.000 TikTok is the worst. 0.97

01:30:58.000 But X will allow you to make porn. 0.96

01:31:01.000 I mean, that's too far! 0.84

01:31:03.000 Too far!

01:31:03.000 Go back!

01:31:04.000 I'm not a fan of that.

01:31:06.000 Or at least put parental restrictions on it.

01:31:08.000 But it's a great platform with a great opportunity and Elon Musk actually is supporting free speech.

01:31:12.000 To a great degree, not absolutely.

01:31:14.000 So naturally, shut her down.

01:31:17.000 Yeah.

01:31:19.000 I made $55.

01:31:21.000 That's great.

01:31:21.000 I'll take it.

01:31:22.000 It's a guess.

01:31:25.000 And you know what I've said?

01:31:26.000 I'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?

01:31:33.000 And I said, go ahead and do it.

01:31:35.000 And when you make money, keep it.

01:31:37.000 So everyone listening, post clips from the show.

01:31:40.000 And 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?

01:31:55.000 That'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.

01:32:02.000 So go ahead and clip the show and post it on X. Post clips.

01:32:06.000 Do it, people.

01:32:06.000 Now, don't steal the whole show.

01:32:08.000 That's a totally different story. 0.92

01:32:09.000 We've had a few people, like, screengrab the show and rebroadcast, and I'm like, nah, that's a dick move. 0.99

01:32:14.000 That's a dick move. 0.77

01:32:15.000 Also, out-of-context clips are very fun. 0.98

01:32:18.000 Oh, yeah, absolutely.

01:32:19.000 I love out-of-context clips.

01:32:20.000 But that you don't need my permission for.

01:32:22.000 If you want to do fair use mashups where you make us say silly things, by all means.

01:32:25.000 I'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.

01:32:31.000 It's fair use.

01:32:32.000 The members-only show is different. 0.88

01:32:33.000 There's some dirty people out there. 0.99

01:32:35.000 What are they, people sharing it? 0.97

01:32:37.000 Like lefties who go in there and then they'll purposefully record the show and then start sharing clips from it.

01:32:43.000 And it's like, well, now you're infringing on our market.

01:32:44.000 Because the member show, you got to be a member to watch.

01:32:48.000 Nobody shares the member show, do they ever?

01:32:51.000 I'm a big Tim Cass fan, and it's always praiseworthy.

01:32:55.000 No, but I mean, like, even for the member show, I have no problem with someone...

01:32:59.000 Like, there's questions about copyright as it pertains to the membership that I can't say.

01:33:03.000 I 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.

01:33:11.000 But for the members thing, I can't say that.

01:33:14.000 Though in many instances, if there is something newsworthy or comment-worthy, it's fair use, to a certain degree.

01:33:20.000 I'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.

01:33:29.000 They claim it's fair use, but I think it's actually probably not.

01:33:33.000 It might be.

01:33:34.000 Do you prefer no one clips the members-only show?

01:33:37.000 No, I'm not saying that.

01:33:37.000 I think that's fair.

01:33:38.000 I think that's fair.

01:33:39.000 I'm not saying that.

01:33:40.000 Yeah, I'm saying there's circumstances where it's going to be newsworthy.

01:33:43.000 You know, we had Steve Bannon on and we're talking to him and he said something newsworthy.

01:33:46.000 It's like, I can't deny that.

01:33:47.000 But there are certain circumstances where it's certainly not newsworthy and leftists are pulling clips that just basically infringe on the market.

01:33:53.000 Yeah.

01:33:54.000 Like I shared that Jay gentleman who was trying to be Republican and he was getting shot down by his local people.

01:34:00.000 He was trying to run for office, but the local people, Republicans, were not letting him do it.

01:34:04.000 And it was a big one.

01:34:05.000 It got word out.

01:34:06.000 It helped him out, you know?

01:34:07.000 Oh, OK.

01:34:08.000 Yeah.

01:34:08.000 When they're important.

01:34:10.000 Yeah.

01:34:11.000 All right, we're gonna go.

01:34:12.000 Collins are a great department.

01:34:15.000 The Collins show is one of the best parts of this show, just be honest.

01:34:19.000 I love the Collins.

01:34:19.000 It's great.

01:34:20.000 Okay, you're making me feel bad now.

01:34:21.000 No, no, I'm just relaxed.

01:34:23.000 No, but I'm not saying don't- I swear Raymond's clipped that members only show before.

01:34:26.000 I have, I have, 100%.

01:34:27.000 I was just talking, I was talking ish.

01:34:30.000 But I'm not saying that in and of itself is the problem.

01:34:32.000 I'm saying that there are certain circumstances where it's clearly just meant to bypass that we're trying to make money.

01:34:37.000 Absolutely, yeah.

01:34:38.000 And that's when it's like they're trying to masquerade as fair use on things that probably don't make sense for it.

01:34:44.000 But it's like, what am I going to do?

01:34:45.000 I'm not going to sue anybody, so.

01:34:47.000 But let's go to Super Chat.

01:34:56.000 It's 10 bucks a month.

01:34:57.000 It's Friday, just before Labor Day weekend.

01:35:00.000 We're so close to just getting up and disappearing.

01:35:04.000 But we're gonna stay here for a little bit longer.

01:35:06.000 We're gonna read your Super Chats.

01:35:08.000 Robert G. Smith says, howdy people.

01:35:10.000 Kamala looked pretty rough last night and it was only Thursday.

01:35:13.000 He is ready for Labor Day weekend.

01:35:15.000 What can we say?

01:35:16.000 One of my favorite memes ever.

01:35:18.000 I posted it on my Instagram.

01:35:20.000 It is that cat that is like, its eyes are half closed and its mouth is hanging open.

01:35:25.000 And the camera is slowly zooming in on it.

01:35:27.000 And it says, when you've already given it your all, but it's only Tuesday.

01:35:30.000 And it's playing that song from what's her, I don't know, Sia?

01:35:33.000 No, not Sia.

01:35:34.000 I can't remember the name of the artist.

01:35:37.000 But I just absolutely love that meme. 0.94

01:35:38.000 And I posted it and people were like, damn, Tim looking rough. 0.82

01:35:40.000 Are you all right? 0.98

01:35:41.000 And I was like, I'm totally fine.

01:35:42.000 I just love the meme.

01:35:44.000 The cat looks so just destroyed.

01:35:47.000 I think there's something to be said, though, for the fact that she looks she looks I'm not even trying to be mean.

01:35:52.000 Like, she just looks exhausted in that interview.

01:35:55.000 And she has actually only been on the campaign trail.

01:35:58.000 Granted, it's been pretty hectic, but for what, a month at this point?

01:36:01.000 People also forget how old she is.

01:36:02.000 They pretend like she's younger.

01:36:03.000 She's old.

01:36:04.000 No, I mean, no offense.

01:36:05.000 Excuse me, she's older. 0.99

01:36:06.000 You know, there are older politicians who, like, derive strength from this.

01:36:11.000 It was just, she should fire whoever set up that interview because the whole thing was not good for her.

01:36:15.000 Maybe females shouldn't be on the campaign trail. 1.00

01:36:18.000 Just kidding.

01:36:19.000 Or at least give her some better lighting.

01:36:21.000 I mean, come on.

01:36:22.000 It was it was there were so many like minor things that I'd have to be like, what are we doing here?

01:36:27.000 Here it is.

01:36:27.000 Yeah, right.

01:36:28.000 This is the meme I'm talking about.

01:36:29.000 Okay, I posted that and people were like, feel better, Tim or whatever.

01:36:34.000 And I'm like, no, no, I was actually laughing my ass off the whole time.

01:36:36.000 Look at its face.

01:36:38.000 It's just it's the look of I'm just so done with all of this.

01:36:42.000 This poor cat.

01:36:43.000 That's why she wasn't laughing.

01:36:43.000 It's the funniest.

01:36:45.000 There were no more laughs left in her, I guess.

01:36:47.000 That's what Kamala looked like. 1.00

01:36:52.000 She still has, what, two months at least to go? 0.61

01:36:55.000 We're 65 days out from the end of the election.

01:36:59.000 She can't look this exhausted and have only been in for a fraction of the time that even Biden was in.

01:37:05.000 All right, Blave Kaiser says, my only problem with the culture war today was that it wasn't an additional two hours.

01:37:13.000 I think The Culture War This Morning was my favorite show ever.

01:37:18.000 We had Roman... I can't pronounce his name.

01:37:24.000 Roman's awesome.

01:37:25.000 How did you pronounce his name?

01:37:29.000 I know how to spell it.

01:37:30.000 I need to pull it up.

01:37:31.000 You had to translate.

01:37:32.000 Impulski.

01:37:34.000 Should be easier.

01:37:35.000 Super smart guy.

01:37:36.000 He's a PhD researcher.

01:37:38.000 We had Brian Saave.

01:37:40.000 Am I pronouncing that one wrong?

01:37:41.000 S-A-U-V-E. 1.00

01:37:43.000 And he's a pastor and he's a Christian musician.

01:37:47.000 And 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.

01:37:56.000 There 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?

01:38:05.000 And then the Roman just, like, turns his head and looks at me, like, help, what is he saying?

01:38:09.000 And I was like, wait, wait, let me translate, let me translate.

01:38:12.000 He's saying, does the structure of the computer by which you put the AI in alter the AI itself in some way?

01:38:18.000 And he was like, oh, you're talking about substrate.

01:38:21.000 It doesn't matter what the computer is, the algorithm will operate.

01:38:23.000 And I was like, oh, there you go.

01:38:24.000 Like, there you go, Ian.

01:38:25.000 You didn't have to say weird, freaky things that sounded like hippy-dippy nonsense.

01:38:29.000 And Roman was like, well, thank you for the translation.

01:38:30.000 Yeah.

01:38:31.000 I was like, let me try and translate Ianisms for you.

01:38:36.000 It's like, to the average person, he's not making sense, but I can try and- I understand his idea.

01:38:41.000 There's several years of conversation.

01:38:42.000 You're like, I can say it.

01:38:44.000 I know what he's trying to say.

01:38:45.000 It reminds me of when toddlers developed their own words for things and their parents know what they're talking about.

01:38:51.000 Like, you know what Ian is asking for.

01:38:53.000 He said, he brought up Nassim Harriman and the Schwartzfield something proton, where it's- protons are actually two protons of the black hole.

01:39:02.000 And then once again, Roman just like looks over at me like, And he didn't make that up.

01:39:07.000 That's actually something I think Nassim Harriman is famous for, but people call it pseudoscience.

01:39:11.000 I don't know.

01:39:12.000 It was an amazing show.

01:39:13.000 You can watch it on Tenet Media on YouTube.

01:39:16.000 It was this morning from 10 to noon.

01:39:18.000 We do those every Friday.

01:39:19.000 And this was just, it was a wild show.

01:39:22.000 And everybody was like, go long, go long, but we can't go long.

01:39:24.000 I was expecting like a three hour one.

01:39:26.000 But you weren't talking Civil War with Andrew Wilson, you know, Civil War.

01:39:31.000 Well, that's because with Andrew Wilson, we had a conversation, and at the end of the show, a new debate emerged.

01:39:37.000 Whereas 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.

01:39:46.000 It was like, it made it right to its end.

01:39:48.000 It peaked out.

01:39:49.000 Yeah.

01:39:50.000 It hit the plateau, and I said, we'll stop at a high point.

01:39:53.000 It was good, though.

01:39:54.000 I enjoyed the heck out of it.

01:39:56.000 Playway says, Tim, did you hear about the Michigan kid dragged 855 feet and left for dead on the road because he supported Trump?

01:40:03.000 Real story.

01:40:03.000 What?

01:40:04.000 Um, I tried looking it up.

01:40:05.000 I couldn't find anything.

01:40:08.000 So I have no idea.

01:40:10.000 Stacey Strickland says, Happy 10th anniversary to my wonderful husband, Mark, from age 19 to 29, and two beautiful babies later.

01:40:16.000 The past decade has been the best years of my life so far.

01:40:18.000 Happy to have many more.

01:40:19.000 Wow!

01:40:20.000 Congratulations, and I will stress, Stacey, for you and Mark, you are the envy of the majority of people in existence.

01:40:29.000 I love when we get super chats like that.

01:40:30.000 High school sweethearts with a loving family and living their best lives.

01:40:34.000 We 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.

01:40:42.000 It's the best.

01:40:43.000 It's so cool to hear people accomplish these things.

01:40:45.000 Yo, positivity.

01:40:46.000 There's a lot of positivity going on here, which is nice. 0.70

01:40:49.000 Big7588 says Kamala's a disgrace to women everywhere. 1.00

01:40:52.000 First she was old Joe's trophy coffee girl. 0.86

01:40:57.000 Now she is the left's servant on a leash.

01:41:00.000 Needed a man to follow her around and keep her in line. 1.00

01:41:03.000 It 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. 0.99

01:41:13.000 She just met him like a month ago.

01:41:16.000 They met when she went to tour a Planned Parenthood in his state.

01:41:21.000 Weird friendship origin story I would say but you know.

01:41:25.000 All right.

01:41:26.000 Joe Arnn?

01:41:29.000 Yeah, Joe Arnn won.

01:41:30.000 It's always funny because R-N, if the text is really small, could be an M or an R-N-N. 0.78

01:41:35.000 Says, congrats to RGS Jr.

01:41:37.000 on his appearance.

01:41:38.000 Love that.

01:41:39.000 One of us.

01:41:41.000 He forgot to add Google Gobble, but that's okay.

01:41:43.000 Congrats, brother.

01:41:44.000 I appreciate it.

01:41:44.000 Thank you so much.

01:41:45.000 I appreciate all the support from everyone, too.

01:41:47.000 I do.

01:41:48.000 Cilantro Industrial Complex says, Tim promised a celebrity.

01:41:51.000 I told all my friends Radiohead was opening for Beyonce.

01:41:54.000 So I'll add to that.

01:41:55.000 That's why I said, We may have a celebrity guest coming on the show randomly.

01:42:00.000 And that's because there was someone who said they wanted to come hang out, but they would not confirm a booking with us.

01:42:05.000 And so it was more so someone being like, Oh, dude, I'd love to come check it out.

01:42:09.000 Maybe I'll come on the show.

01:42:11.000 And then I was like, cool.

01:42:12.000 And so that's why we often don't promote, we don't announce who our guests are going to be.

01:42:17.000 Now 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.

01:42:23.000 I am happy to be a disappointment.

01:42:26.000 Wait, what?

01:42:27.000 Not the celebrity.

01:42:28.000 It would have been you plus one, I think.

01:42:31.000 The celebrity wasn't replacing it.

01:42:31.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:42:33.000 We wouldn't have told you to get out.

01:42:34.000 No, no, no.

01:42:35.000 I know.

01:42:35.000 But when you said that earlier this week, I clipped it and I sent it to my mom and I was like, look, he's announcing me on the show.

01:42:43.000 I was kidding.

01:42:44.000 I like the idea that we just always tease that Beyonce is coming on the show.

01:42:47.000 Wouldn't that be funny?

01:42:49.000 Beyonce is Tuesday.

01:42:51.000 I heard that too.

01:42:56.000 Yeah, you know what I was thinking would be really funny?

01:42:58.000 When 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...

01:43:06.000 You 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.

01:43:22.000 And 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.

01:43:31.000 And 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.

01:43:38.000 And then once they get a response, they would take the story down.

01:43:41.000 Or they would say, Tim Pool lies, claiming interview with Kamala Harris was not true.

01:43:45.000 Harris was, and it's not true.

01:43:47.000 But then the smaller blogs and other garbage news outlets would not update. 0.63

01:43:51.000 And I think it's kind of crazy.

01:43:53.000 There's very few things like a tweet that would cause the media to react that way right now.

01:43:58.000 Like, I'm not gonna do that.

01:43:59.000 I'm just saying it's kind of crazy that you just go like, beep, and then this pressure on Kamala Harris just goes... It'd be nuts.

01:44:05.000 Oh, she could never, though.

01:44:06.000 She could never do that.

01:44:07.000 She could never do spaces.

01:44:08.000 No.

01:44:08.000 It's crazy that she physically cannot, you know?

01:44:10.000 Like, she does not have it in her.

01:44:12.000 We have a chair for Tim Walz, though.

01:44:13.000 You could bring your man.

01:44:14.000 It's right here.

01:44:16.000 So, on Fox, it was really funny.

01:44:17.000 They said, you can't walk down, you know, Fifth Avenue in New York without bumping into someone begging to do a CNN hit.

01:44:25.000 They found the one person to run for president who doesn't want to do it.

01:44:29.000 Yeah.

01:44:29.000 I think it might have been Gutfeld who said that.

01:44:31.000 Or Waters.

01:44:31.000 I don't know.

01:44:32.000 But that was actually really funny.

01:44:34.000 It's like everyone's always begging to go on TV, but Kamala Harris is hiding under the covers. 1.00

01:44:38.000 You didn't even do that many interviews pre-announcing the campaign.

01:44:41.000 I mean, even while serving as vice president, she was very aloof from the media.

01:44:48.000 I will add, our potential celebrity guest is still coming.

01:44:52.000 When did you announce this?

01:44:53.000 How long ago?

01:44:54.000 Did I miss it?

01:44:55.000 I didn't say who was coming.

01:44:56.000 I 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.

01:45:05.000 It was on the Monday Morning Show.

01:45:06.000 Oh, that sounds fun.

01:45:07.000 Oh, was it?

01:45:08.000 Yes.

01:45:08.000 She's outdoing you.

01:45:10.000 She's a better listener than you are.

01:45:12.000 I'm not going to say who we have coming.

01:45:14.000 Sure, sure, sure.

01:45:14.000 I'm not asking that.

01:45:15.000 Because they're probably not going to come.

01:45:17.000 But they've been talking about, like, I'm in the area.

01:45:21.000 I'll swing by when I can.

01:45:22.000 It's Labor Day weekend.

01:45:23.000 Maybe next week I'll see you.

01:45:24.000 And it's like, OK, we'll see.

01:45:25.000 But then they were like, can I come on the show?

01:45:27.000 And I was like, I'm talking to my friends, I'm like, I think they're going to be able to do politics.

01:45:32.000 Like, who cares?

01:45:32.000 Yeah, let's do it anyway.

01:45:34.000 Just another Ian or myself type.

01:45:36.000 I was like, all right, third chair.

01:45:37.000 I don't know if you and Ian are in the same category.

01:45:40.000 Give yourself a little more credit there.

01:45:41.000 I'm kidding.

01:45:43.000 Ian, I am a huge fan of, by the way, but he's the only person who can say stuff that ticks me off.

01:45:48.000 And I still, he's very likable.

01:45:51.000 He continues to say stuff that ticks me off, but he's so dang likable.

01:45:55.000 So he's special.

01:45:56.000 I agree.

01:45:56.000 All right.

01:45:57.000 Jacob Hawley says, does it make sense that I'm center-left in voting Trump?

01:46:00.000 I feel that Democrats are shifting economically to the right, but socially left, and Republicans are shifting economically left, but socially right.

01:46:06.000 Does it make sense?

01:46:07.000 One of my friends is socialist and vote Trump too.

01:46:09.000 I agree.

01:46:10.000 It used to be 15, 20 years ago, you'd say, well, I'm, you know, fiscally conservative, but socially, you know, liberal or whatever.

01:46:18.000 And now you'd say, I'm socially conservative, but I'm kind of fiscally liberal.

01:46:22.000 It's like inverted.

01:46:23.000 Yeah.

01:46:24.000 Back then it was like, hey man, look, I'm, I think free speech, gay rights, all that stuff.

01:46:29.000 I had no problem, but we're spending too much money in government.

01:46:32.000 We need to pull this stuff back.

01:46:33.000 Now it's inverted.

01:46:35.000 Now 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.

01:46:47.000 When 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.

01:46:56.000 So 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.

01:47:04.000 Yeah.

01:47:05.000 You know, and then we're going, but we still do like the idea of like some government programs.

01:47:10.000 Yeah.

01:47:10.000 We never gave that up.

01:47:11.000 Conservatives don't like that stuff.

01:47:15.000 All right, let's go.

01:47:16.000 Wait, so conservatives don't like welfare offices type stuff?

01:47:20.000 Conservatives tend to be against government welfare programs.

01:47:23.000 It's not an absolute, like the libertarians are, no, none.

01:47:27.000 Conservatives are like, reduce, reduce, you know?

01:47:29.000 Okay.

01:47:30.000 Smashing Random Keys says it sounds like you would vote Trump no matter what because he's better than Kamala.

01:47:36.000 If voting for the lesser evil was the important thing, then why didn't you vote for Trump in 2016 or Romney against Obama?

01:47:41.000 Basically, voters shouldn't have any values and vote red no matter who.

01:47:44.000 Incorrect!

01:47:45.000 I have long said I do not vote for the lesser of two evils.

01:47:48.000 That's why I didn't vote for Trump in 2016.

01:47:50.000 Get it?

01:47:51.000 The reason why I voted for Trump in 2020 is that after a first term, he proved to me that he was actually good.

01:47:56.000 And I said, wow, he didn't start any wars.

01:47:59.000 I can't believe it.

01:48:01.000 It's the first time in my life we've got a president who isn't going and bombing people.

01:48:04.000 No, don't get me wrong.

01:48:05.000 Bombing was still happening, but that was Clinton, Bush's, and Obama's bombing that Trump inherited.

01:48:10.000 And then Trump said, we're not going to start anymore.

01:48:13.000 And so I'm like, wow, Trump.

01:48:14.000 And then he actually, the Abraham Accords, he tried to bring peace to the Korean Peninsula.

01:48:20.000 I'm like, this guy's actually doing the things that the left was hoping for in the late 90s.

01:48:27.000 And in Occupy, he's doing these populist moves.

01:48:29.000 He got rid of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

01:48:32.000 He wants to secure our borders.

01:48:33.000 That was a Bernie Sanders proposal to secure our borders.

01:48:36.000 And here's Donald Trump doing these things?

01:48:37.000 I'm gonna vote for this guy.

01:48:38.000 I view Donald Trump as a net positive, a force of good.

01:48:42.000 I don't think he's perfect.

01:48:43.000 That's impossible to get a perfect president.

01:48:46.000 But the only conclusion I could come to is that on a scale of 0 to 100, where 50 is your neutral, Trump's 51.

01:48:54.000 I 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.

01:49:06.000 But I'm looking at all the past presidencies and I'm like, Trump actually is a force for good.

01:49:11.000 I'm not saying he's an angel or a god emperor coming to save everybody and super altruistic.

01:49:16.000 I'm saying that if you were to add up everything he does, we're finally in a net positive position.

01:49:22.000 Romney and Obama?

01:49:24.000 Well, look, I'll tell you this.

01:49:26.000 That to me was...

01:49:28.000 It's the same, I'm like, I'm not voting for any of these guys.

01:49:31.000 Two net negatives.

01:49:33.000 And to be honest, maybe Romney would not have been, I don't know.

01:49:35.000 That's why when it was Trump-Hillary, I just laughed, I'm not voting for any of these guys.

01:49:39.000 And then Trump wins, and then I laugh, I'm like, I would never vote for Trump.

01:49:43.000 And then by 2020, after everything that had happened, I was like, I'm voting for Donald Trump.

01:49:48.000 He had proven himself.

01:49:50.000 And even, you know, After Obama.

01:49:54.000 He's the first president I'd have voted for.

01:49:56.000 He's the peace president, they claim.

01:49:57.000 He's gonna bring our troops back.

01:49:58.000 He's gonna negotiate these wars away.

01:50:00.000 We were hoping for that. 0.61

01:50:01.000 Then he goes and blows up kids.

01:50:03.000 Like, one of the first orders he took was an executive action that bombed the village, killing 23 women and children.

01:50:07.000 And I was just like...

01:50:10.000 Okay, what was the point?

01:50:11.000 One 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.

01:50:20.000 The 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.

01:50:34.000 However, it is only alleged We don't really have strong evidence to know exactly what happened in that raid.

01:50:40.000 People in Yemen have claimed it resulted in the death of a young girl.

01:50:45.000 That's why I say it should be investigated.

01:50:46.000 For Barack Obama, it's admitted.

01:50:48.000 They bombed a civilian restaurant with an airstrike, killing civilians, including an American.

01:50:53.000 That's an admission of criminal guilt.

01:50:54.000 I think all the presidents should be investigated.

01:50:56.000 And I'll add this too, it's funny.

01:50:58.000 Of all the things a president's been criminally charged for, Documents in his boxes in random, and I just go, come on. 0.97

01:51:08.000 Garbage. 0.83

01:51:11.000 You know why they're not going to go after Trump over the commando raids? 1.00

01:51:14.000 Because they have to go and arrest Obama and Bush.

01:51:17.000 But they could if they wanted to, and not do anything with anyone else, because they're running the show still.

01:51:25.000 I 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.

01:51:36.000 If 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.

01:51:49.000 When I wasn't paying attention to politics, all I knew was Obama.

01:51:53.000 The only thing I knew about President Obama was Obama.

01:51:56.000 Yeah, they call him Obama.

01:51:57.000 I didn't even know that much.

01:52:00.000 Obama.

01:52:01.000 I was like, who's he bombing?

01:52:02.000 I had no idea.

01:52:03.000 He was bombing kids.

01:52:04.000 Apparently.

01:52:05.000 Too many of them.

01:52:07.000 I could be wrong.

01:52:08.000 I know for a fact of two Americans he killed, I think the total was four, though.

01:52:12.000 Jeez.

01:52:12.000 But I could be wrong.

01:52:13.000 And that's too many.

01:52:14.000 That's too many.

01:52:15.000 And so I've been nine American kids.

01:52:19.000 I mean, yeah, bombing still... You know what they did during the Obama administration? 0.97

01:52:22.000 I despise these people. 0.81

01:52:24.000 Get it. 0.98

01:52:24.000 They get me riled up. 0.98

01:52:26.000 They were killing too many civilians.

01:52:29.000 So they changed what counted as an enemy combatant to military-aged males.

01:52:34.000 So 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.

01:52:45.000 He was a military-aged male.

01:52:46.000 Are they doing that today still?

01:52:48.000 Probably.

01:52:49.000 But you know what I can say is, Luke likes to bring it up that Trump increased the drone strikes, right?

01:52:59.000 And he removed transparency on them.

01:53:01.000 They actually used to report how many drone strikes there were.

01:53:03.000 With Trump, he increased them.

01:53:05.000 Got rid of the reporting.

01:53:06.000 I am totally fine with that.

01:53:07.000 I'll tell you why.

01:53:09.000 I think the drone strikes are wrong in the area, but Trump is trying to remove our troops.

01:53:12.000 I am not an absolutist who thinks Trump should shut everything down, get our troops back right now, no questions, no strategy, no plan.

01:53:18.000 That's insane.

01:53:18.000 Look at Afghanistan.

01:53:19.000 We don't want that.

01:53:20.000 What 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.

01:53:29.000 And it should be done strategically, and it should be done with haste.

01:53:34.000 But strategically comes first.

01:53:36.000 So when Donald Trump is pulling our troops out of these areas, he is maintaining the defense of the region with airstrikes.

01:53:43.000 I'm not a fan of airstrikes, but I'm a much lesser of a fan of what Biden did with Afghanistan.

01:53:50.000 If Donald Trump was in office, And carrying out the Afghanistan withdrawal.

01:53:55.000 They would not have abandoned Bagram Air Force Base.

01:53:57.000 He 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.

01:54:08.000 And he would have used airstrikes to keep the Taliban from moving in and advancing and securing territories.

01:54:14.000 Then 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.

01:54:28.000 personnel occupying or being in the country, or at least to a great, great degree.

01:54:32.000 There may have been a small handful, like less than two double digits.

01:54:36.000 But 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.

01:54:45.000 This meant guys were in the middle of flying helicopters and also the communications cut out.

01:54:49.000 And they panicked, landed their helicopters and got out and ran.

01:54:52.000 For real.

01:54:52.000 That's how crazy it was.

01:54:54.000 Then they ordered people to evacuate through a civilian airport, which they could not secure.

01:54:58.000 That feels intentional.

01:55:00.000 Like they wanted to just destabilize.

01:55:03.000 And by allowing the Taliban to come in and seize billions of dollars of U.S.

01:55:07.000 weapons, they're now being sold and traded across the region, exacerbating instability.

01:55:12.000 I shouldn't say America.

01:55:15.000 I hate saying that.

01:55:16.000 The uniparty establishment, neocon and neolib, and the military industrial complex love the instability.

01:55:21.000 It justifies further incursions.

01:55:23.000 That would not have happened under Donald Trump.

01:55:25.000 So 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.

01:55:34.000 What the Democrats are doing right now is pushing us further and further deeper into these conflicts.

01:55:39.000 And now Ukraine invaded Russia.

01:55:42.000 I can't believe that we're at the point where Ukrainians using Western weapons, intelligence training, and volunteers has actually entered Russian territory.

01:55:52.000 Creating such a threat that Russia is evacuating their civilians, 130,000.

01:55:55.000 This is creating a potential existential threat to Russia where they will respond in the extreme. 0.81

01:56:02.000 So, anyway.

01:56:05.000 Obama administration. 1.00

01:56:05.000 Those people are scumbags. 1.00

01:56:07.000 Alright. 1.00

01:56:08.000 Mike Jameson.

01:56:10.000 Jameson?

01:56:12.000 Maybe Trump should remind both sides that if World War III goes hot, abortion rights will be the last thing on anyone's mind. 1.00

01:56:17.000 Amen.

01:56:18.000 That's actually a good answer.

01:56:21.000 If they bring up abortion, he can just go, I got a lot of thoughts about abortion.

01:56:26.000 But 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.

01:56:35.000 We can argue abortion after the fact.

01:56:37.000 Right now we need to stop the war. 0.77

01:56:38.000 We need to stop nuclear war from killing everybody.

01:56:41.000 I 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.

01:56:54.000 She 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.

01:57:07.000 On 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. 0.71

01:57:16.000 Right?

01:57:16.000 Harris 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.

01:57:27.000 That's interesting that she, that means she knows it's a winning issue.

01:57:30.000 We should definitely treat an international crisis the same way.

01:57:34.000 I 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.

01:57:47.000 I agree.

01:57:49.000 Man, the Ukraine stuff, it's kind of wild that it's not the biggest news.

01:57:54.000 Ukraine invaded the Kursk region, and it's just like this war just went crazy.

01:57:58.000 Well, Palestinians take over. 1.00

01:58:01.000 I think it's because we're too close to an election.

01:58:03.000 The scary thing is, there's a lot of low-scale war tactics that can be implemented right now that will go under the radar because of it.

01:58:11.000 You're right, because Palestine's not even that big of a deal anymore, it's all election, election, everything. 1.00

01:58:15.000 Kamala Harris gave an interview, can you believe it?

01:58:16.000 And I'm like, Israel invaded the West Bank. 0.60

01:58:19.000 Like, that is crazy.

01:58:21.000 Israel launched a preemptive strike on Hezbollah, that's insane.

01:58:26.000 And 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.

01:58:33.000 And I'm just like...

01:58:35.000 Get out of here, dude.

01:58:36.000 And the invasion of the West Bank is crazy.

01:58:39.000 This is going to go... Is that an escalation that didn't need to happen?

01:58:43.000 In my opinion, yes.

01:58:45.000 I am open to any argument that says I don't know enough about the conflict, because I don't.

01:58:51.000 All I know is hearing that October 7th was Gaza, Hamas, attacking Israel, I can understand the move to cut off Hamas.

01:59:02.000 Now 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.

01:59:08.000 And I'm like, yeah, now you're beyond the confines of rational arguments.

01:59:14.000 Because with the Gaza stuff, I can just be like, dude, not my war, whatever. 0.66

01:59:18.000 Now I'm going, what are you doing?

01:59:20.000 With the Hezbollah and with the West Bank? 0.99

01:59:23.000 Now it's like, dude, we should not be involved.

01:59:26.000 I say that 50 million times.

01:59:28.000 Alright, we'll grab one more.

01:59:30.000 BasedAfrican says, Right.

01:59:30.000 African says, had a discussion with my black mom about reparations.

01:59:35.000 When I suggested canceling income tax on slave descendants for some time to generate wealth 1.00

01:59:39.000 for hard workers, she responded, you're too young.

01:59:42.000 That's what affirmative action was for. 0.81

01:59:44.000 Affirmative action was reparations to her.

01:59:46.000 Right.

01:59:47.000 The argument was being made that this was effectively going to be some kind of reparations,

01:59:51.000 but you know, the argument's going to come up every four years because it gets votes.

01:59:57.000 All right, my friends.
