On this week's episode of Twisted Plots, Seamus Coglin fills in for Tim while he's out on vacation. Plus, a new AI browser from Perplexity called Comet, and a story about the genocide in Nigeria.
00:03:13.000How much time do you spend every day on a web browser?
00:03:15.000How much time do you spend clicking around online, searching, scrolling, typing, endless tabs, to lie, right?
00:03:20.000Well, there's a new AI web browser from Perplexity called Comet that is completely changing the way you're able to interact with your browser.
00:03:27.000Comet feels like having a personal assistant living in your web browser that can actually do things for you across the internet.
00:03:33.000Like literally do things, not just give answers.
00:03:35.000You can ask Comet to handle tasks for you, and it literally clicks type searches and scrolls just like you would to get things done for you.
00:03:43.000In the background, while you go about your day, go to perplexity.ai slash comet.
00:03:48.000Comet can navigate around the web like a human would.
00:03:52.000Clicking, typing, searching, scrolling, getting what you need done so you can do more.
00:03:56.000Some of the things I can do can order food from like DoorDash or Domino's, it can book personalized restaurant reservations, it can buy stuff on Amazon.
00:04:03.000Wow, movie tickets, book flights, prep you for your day, send messages and emails, schedule things, search, respond, and analyze.
00:04:11.000It can pull up videos, tabs, or other searches you're looking for.
00:05:49.000And so before uh I go, I just want to mention to you guys, for those who don't know, after 11 years of making short cartoons, myself and my team are launching a full-length animated show.
00:06:00.000We started the crowdfunding campaign uh a couple of days ago.
00:06:03.000We've seen massive success within the first couple of days.
00:06:06.000And so we're offering a promotion before uh I'm done with Timcast for the week.
00:06:10.000Anyone who donates tonight at the $10 level will get access to the full uh pilot episode, the full 25 minute long pilot episode.
00:06:19.000So please go over to Twisted Plots, help us build culture, help us be the media and make entertaining content.
00:06:25.000You can donate at any level, you'll get access to the pilot.
00:06:28.000And one really big ask um if you are Elon Musk, we do have an Elon Musk tier.
00:06:32.000And Elon, if you give 500,000, the Elon tier is we'll do a whole episode where white South Africans colonize Mars and make the land farmable.
00:07:53.000Well, so that's uh that's kind of the problem out there because the actual uh the legacy media out there doesn't bother uh covering the situation.
00:08:02.000As you know, as Libby knows, I'm sure, you know, because you your reporter, Katie Daviscourt is like one of the best in the business.
00:08:09.000Uh and she was out there, and I I saw her get hit with that flagpole and I watched the video of this assailant just walk away and say, uh, I I believe uh uh the police started walking uh with the assailant, and the poly the cops said, You're you're detained, you're not free to leave.
00:08:28.000And and uh that assailant said, F you no, I'm not, and then walked away.
00:08:40.000So I decided I was gonna go out there and uh and within like 24 hours of being there, Portland police arrested me, not her assailant, but me for filming in the street.
00:08:47.000So can I ask you, like what what charges did they try to bring you up on here?
00:08:51.000Disorderly conduct because filming because the rest of it is ordered apparently orderly.
00:09:08.000We know they're all about political prosecutions.
00:09:10.000And while they're out here arresting journalists for filming things they don't want the public to see, they're whining and complaining that Letisha James was indicted and charged in a fraud case after pressure by the Trump campaign.
00:09:25.000So as you all remember, Letitia James actually ran on prosecuting Trump.
00:09:30.000Highly unusual to run for office on prosecuting an individual person, but she did that.
00:09:36.000And now she's gonna sit there and talk about how the system is weaponized, of course.
00:09:40.000So uh New York Attorney General Letitia James was charged Thursday as part of a mortgage fraud investigation, aggressively pushed by the Trump administration, becoming the latest foe of the president to be prosecuted by his Justice Department.
00:10:00.000What was she known for from before this happened?
00:10:03.000And secondly, uh, of course, the article starts with she has been indicted.
00:10:09.000There is uh pressure that the Trump administration has put on the Justice Department.
00:10:14.000Now remember, when the Justice Department was charging people under Biden, we were told, well, that's separate from the Oval Office, and and Joe Biden doesn't determine who the Justice Department goes after.
00:10:25.000But of course, we're told that President Trump put pressure.
00:11:04.000And she now is in trouble for mortgage fraud for some property that she has in Virginia, which is I think the shocking thing for them is that they're actually being prosecuted for committing crimes, which are used to just being able to do whatever the hell they want whenever they want to do it.
00:11:24.000They just think it's crimes when these are crimes when Trump does it.
00:11:28.000And if you remember, uh, during the Biden administration, you actually had Joe Biden saying uh to Merrick Garland to make sure to go ahead and prosecute Trump.
00:11:44.000The New York Times reported that out that Biden went to Merrick Garland and said that he wanted Trump prosecuted.
00:11:49.000But this is something that we talked about last night, or that I talked about not last night, the night before.
00:11:52.000Um the left doesn't actually have any principles.
00:11:55.000They're not gonna go ahead and say, Well, we believe this is is something that is is we have to worry about when both sides do it or whatever.
00:12:02.000They believe that words are just used to have access to power.
00:12:06.000They don't believe anyone comes from a honest argument.
00:12:09.000They don't believe there is honest arguments, they believe that it's all about exercising power.
00:12:14.000So they're you can't call them hypocrites because they're not being hypocritical.
00:12:18.000They just don't have any, they don't believe that you can make an honest argument.
00:12:22.000Their point is we're we will make whatever argument we want we have to make to win.
00:12:28.000And this goes back, this is this is because most of them believe in a postmodern philosophy, or at least uh uh a fundamental basic uh understanding of postmodernism as reality.
00:12:38.000And they say look, they say that it doesn't really matter what I'm saying.
00:12:56.000The thing too is they they they believe the left believes that they have a moral authority, and they believe that that moral authority gives them the right to seek power at any cost.
00:13:05.000And we need to remind them all the time that they actually have no moral authority, and part of that is that they have no morals.
00:13:15.000There's there's no you without look, I'm not particularly religious, but if you don't believe in a God, which most of them don't, there is no actual morality.
00:13:26.000And that's you know, you mentioned Satra, and if you go back to Satra said That existentialism was the scariest thing because it put all of the responsibility on mankind.
00:13:34.000And these leftists not only believe that there's no God, but that they have no responsibility.
00:14:30.000Like, how deep are we gonna go in the deconstruction of words?
00:14:33.000Obviously, they're okay with all of the emotional baggage that side up with fascism, and of course, for good reason, because fascism is a terrible ideology.
00:14:40.000But that doesn't mean anyone who says I'm part of the anti-bad ideology club, I'm part of the Antifa club is a good person.
00:14:47.000After spending a week out there with all these Antifa people, like they say they're anti-fascists, but these are some of the biggest fascists that I've ever dealt with in my life.
00:14:54.000Try walking on their sidewalk and they're gonna beat you with a pole, right?
00:14:57.000Yeah, and then and then they'll go, they'll call the cops on you.
00:15:16.000Everything is violence except violence.
00:15:18.000Except when they except when they perpetrate violence, then it's justified.
00:15:22.000Or it's like socioeconomic factors or something like that.
00:15:24.000But they they are literally never responsible for violence.
00:15:27.000I I appreciate what you guys were mentioning too about authority and how these people don't believe in God.
00:15:31.000The word authority actually comes from the word author.
00:15:34.000Is it's the creator who has the ultimate authority, and then we're able to participate in his authority, and that's what legitimate authority is.
00:15:40.000And through God's permissive will, obviously, there are people in positions of authority who aren't great people who we don't want to have be there, but that's the ultimate source of authority.
00:15:48.000And so, of course, people who don't believe in him, and especially these leftists who just openly hate him, they're not gonna respect rules and norms of morality when they come into power.
00:15:57.000They're not even running their own lives well.
00:16:01.000I have known a number of left-wing people in my life.
00:16:03.000I've had a number of friends who are left-wing, some of them were decently cool people, but for the most part, and I say this like even sympathetically about the ones I'm really cool with, like their lives are often just not in a place that you want to emulate.
00:16:18.000On rare occasions they are, but for the for the vast majority of circumstances, it's like you're someone who isn't even in control of your own life, and that's why you want to control everyone else, right?
00:16:28.000Who oh, I think it might have been Augustine who said this, that it's like any like it's it's harder to conquer yourself than to conquer the world.
00:16:35.000They can't conquer themselves, and they're not even trying, so they just have to go try to control everything else.
00:16:40.000Well, part of that is that they worship themselves.
00:16:55.000If you look at like the abortion ritual that the satanic temple put out, it's all about like, oh, I'm more important than the baby.
00:17:01.000Yeah, like do like the I mean the Satanists have a have a saying like uh do what thou will but harm none or whatever, but they believe that revenge is okay and and etc.
00:17:09.000And that's something that you see a lot in Antifa.
00:17:11.000They a lot of them wear, you know, pentagrams or or the you know, the goat and stuff like that.
00:17:16.000And look, I mean, I've been in a metal band for 20.
00:17:19.000You know, I've been in a metal band for 25 years, so this kind of this kind of uh that kind of that imagery doesn't phase me, but when you see these people doing it, like you really do understand that this is not about just imagery, it's about them actually worshiping themselves, believing that the way to fulfillment is giving in to every whim you have, and that is completely antithetical to what reality tells us.
00:17:43.000Like freedom comes with discipline, because if you're not disciplined, then every whim you have, you're you're a slave to.
00:17:50.000You know, whether it be whether it be I'm I'm hungry and I want to eat something that's bad for me, or I don't feel like going to the gym, so that way I you know I gain weight and I get out of shape and I look, I I feel terrible all the time.
00:18:02.000Like actual freedom comes with the discipline to say, I want this and I'm going to do the things that I need to do to achieve this.
00:18:12.000You asked the question, like, you know, we as modern people tend to think of freedom as a political concept, as a choice between two different options.
00:18:20.000What freedom actually means is the true ability to choose the good.
00:18:23.000So if I'm someone who's always eating twinkies and I never work out, and like Phil is somebody who's always working out and he's getting shredded, if Phil wants to do my thing for a day, if he wants to just chill out and need Twinkies, he's like kind of he can make that decision because he's disciplined enough to do other things.
00:18:38.000It is way harder for me to like get up and go to a gym.
00:18:42.000So the more in vice you are, the less free you actually are because that momentum stops you from being able to make other choices.
00:18:51.000It's exactly a man has as many masters as he does vices.
00:18:53.000But it's specifically on this this topic with Letitia James.
00:18:56.000My my question to you guys is as we see this ramping up, do you think the Trump administration actually has what it takes to go all the way on these things?
00:19:04.000Because as you know, he who digs half a grave, or I'm sorry, he who he who fights half a revolution digs his own grave.
00:19:11.000Like if you only take it halfway there, then they come to power and then you're in jail and your constituents get locked up.
00:19:17.000Do you think the Trump administration is gonna go all the way with this?
00:19:20.000I think President Trump's acutely aware of the consequences of losing in any of this.
00:19:56.000Oh, you got another take, though, man.
00:19:57.000I find it very unlikely that the Trump administration is actually they're not going to bring charges that they don't think will stick.
00:20:03.000Yeah, uh, and so that's one of the biggest parts about this because if the if you get Comey or Letitia James or you know, God forbid both uh are acquitted, you're I mean, it it it just makes your entire de uh Department of Justice look like a total joke.
00:20:34.000Libby, do you had something to say about it?
00:20:35.000Um yeah, I do think the Department of Justice is actually moving relatively quickly with all of this, and they have so many cases.
00:20:41.000Because they actually have to put it to a grand jury first as well.
00:20:44.000They have to put it to a grand jury, but also they've been dealing with so many of these ludicrous judges coming back and saying that the federal government doesn't have the authority to deport criminal illegal immigrants or to bring in the National Guard to protect ice agents doing their job.
00:20:58.000So the DOJ really has their hands full, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of these fall through the cracks, but um I think that they're moving as quickly as they can, and I think they have good people on it.
00:21:09.000All right, so I don't think that Trump has the stomach to do what's necessary.
00:21:14.000And the reason I say that is because if there is one thing that Trump wants, it's people to like him.
00:21:18.000And he, when people say they're upset, they're angry, when his poll numbers start tanking for whatever reason, he will change course.
00:21:26.000And I was saying this on thirst on Tuesday, he is the president that is very pragmatic when he sees that his policies are not popular or not working, he will change them.
00:21:52.000Not just, sure, there are there are people in the in the in the bureaucracy that are bad and that that should be you know tried.
00:21:59.000We should if they've if they've got they've broken the law, or if if uh um a grand jury thinks that they can can have enough evidence to to try them, I want that.
00:22:07.000But I don't know that Trump has the stomach to really push it as far as he has to.
00:22:11.000I would like to be especially because as as soon as I think that I think I think in 2008, I don't if he doesn't hold the Congress, if if the Republicans don't hold the Congress, there will or I mean sorry, 2028 when when uh when the House is up for for election again.
00:22:27.000Um I don't think that if if the Republicans don't hold the Congress, I think they're they're gonna be impeachments and they're gonna do everything they can to do.
00:22:40.000And I think that the only chance that we have of actually fixing things long term is someone that's more aggressive than Trump coming after him.
00:22:48.000And I don't know that that's gonna happen, but I if JD Vance were the guy, and I'm not saying that he is, but we need someone that is literally twice as aggressive as Trump.
00:22:55.000Yes, someone that will actually make the left say there's will actually frighten the left.
00:23:00.000Because right now they talk like they're free.
00:23:56.000For those who haven't heard me talk about this before, there was a gentleman by the name of Mark Hauk.
00:24:00.000He's uh a family man, pro-life activist.
00:24:03.000He was protesting outside of an abortion clinic, and this vulgar, obscene older man started making sexually charged comments at his 12-year-old boy.
00:24:13.000The Soros funded prosecutor in that area said it was a nothing burger, said that they weren't gonna go after him, said that there was there was nothing there.
00:24:22.000The juice wasn't worth the squeeze, it wouldn't be worth the car ride to his house.
00:24:52.000These people are all part of the same system, and they're punishing regular Americans for completely political reasons.
00:24:59.000She ran on charging Trump for political reasons, and now she's being charged for something that I'm sorry, does not look political to me based on what I'm reading.
00:25:15.000That's that's why I'm being careful and seeing based on the evidence.
00:25:17.000But my understanding of the case is they're saying that she purchased a house.
00:25:20.000Again, this is allegedly, this is what they're saying in the indictment.
00:25:23.000They're saying she purchased a three-bedroom home.
00:25:25.000She said that it was a second residence so that she could get a lower interest rate on it, but according to the indictment, they're saying that she was renting it out.
00:27:42.000His decision to fire a United States attorney who refused to bring charges against me and replace them with someone who is blindly loyal, not to the law, but to the president, is antithetical to the bedrock principles of our country.
00:30:32.000Everybody involved was completely happy with the transaction.
00:30:36.000And then Letitia James came in and said, We have we're going to basically erroneously or illegally value the house, the property, like a hundred million dollars less than the surrounding properties.
00:32:09.000Um abuse allegations against Katie Porter have resurfaced after she threatened to walk out of a CBS interview on being asked a simple question.
00:32:17.000Her former husband, Matthew Hoffman, previously claimed the ex-Congresswoman often abused him verbally and even threw toys, books, and other objects at him during their marriage.
00:32:25.000Hoffman also accused Porter of pouring scalding hot mashed potatoes on his head during a fight, divorce records show, according to 2023.
00:32:39.000And I was kind of like, listen, I was joking a little bit, especially because how specific it is, but like genuinely that there's a horrible thing to do to somebody.
00:32:45.000What she's like, pouring burning cement on your own.
00:32:48.000Yeah, that's like you could really burn somebody.
00:33:24.000Yeah, because Trump won and her daughter was crying, and her daughter was 12 at the time and was scared that she was gonna get raped and not be able to have an abortion.
00:33:32.000The most surprising part of all of this is the fact that somebody slept with her at some point and created a daughter.
00:34:11.000Uh, to contextualize a little bit though, what Libby said, that statement about her daughter and uh Trump won and what if she gets raped and now she can't have an abortion.
00:34:20.000She said she was crying about that after she picked her up from water polo practice.
00:34:34.000I don't I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation in which you ask me about every issue on this list.
00:34:40.000And if every question you're going to make a follow-up question, then we're never going to get there, and we're just going to circle around.
00:35:29.000We and you can tell she's upset because they all submit the questions in advance.
00:35:34.000Here's what I want to get asked of me.
00:35:37.000No follow-up because obviously that never happens.
00:35:39.000I just get to say whatever the hell I want and look great.
00:35:42.000The real problem with this is she's still most likely to win.
00:35:47.000So Spanberger and Abigail Spanberger tonight said that she would not withdraw her endorsement of Jay Jones, who thinks it's fun to joke about uh murdering his Republican colleagues.
00:35:58.000Yeah, and who fantasizes about children dying completely in their mother's arms.
00:36:10.000But the fact of the matter is it's not just the the people that are running, it's the people that are electing them.
00:36:16.000You know, we've got half the country or whatever that feel like it's acceptable for the for people like this to be in public office.
00:36:24.000How many it was like 30% of young democrats think that violence is acceptable.
00:36:29.000You know, in the most recent poll on this.
00:36:31.000Like we've got a real big problem because these people that are young, these young people in 10 years, they're not gonna be kids anymore, and they're gonna be in positions of authority.
00:36:39.000And this is the argument, and this is the problem that was identified 15 years ago about woke people, right?
00:37:00.000They got out of college and they got into human resources departments, and you ended up having these people doing all the hiring.
00:37:07.000That means the only people they got hired were people that agreed with them ideologically, and that's a massive problem for our whole society.
00:37:14.000This is re this is a real clear and present danger in 10, 15 years.
00:37:19.000This is going to be a horrible, horrible situation in the country.
00:37:22.000I will say conservative cousin does human resources, and she's the only good human resources person that it's it's I I want to mention this, Phil.
00:37:32.000And I remember when that was happening, people were going, oh, they're just crazy college students, or like it's just niche lefties on the internet.
00:37:39.000But those same people, they're like, There's a website that invented terrorism, it's called 4chan.
00:37:44.000If you go there, you'll find out why our country has so many Nazis running around the streets.
00:37:49.000And it's like, okay, there was obviously a double standard at that point in time because they knew that actually, even though we like to say the internet isn't real life, it is made of real people, at least it was at the time before we had all the bots.
00:37:59.000Nowadays, the internet is not just real life, it is a prediction machine.
00:38:03.000If you pay attention to the things that people are saying on the internet, specifically young people, you can predict what society's gonna be like in 10 years.
00:38:11.000And right now, it doesn't look effing good at all.
00:38:46.000I'm pretty sure I could I so I so I could listen, I so I could be wrong about that, but I know that the the Gen Z is smaller than millennials, and Gen Alpha's smaller than Gen Z. So if if the younger people are actually conservative, that's great, but there aren't enough of them, and they don't vote, and you're talking about 50 years before they're a reliable voting block.
00:42:25.000I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either.
00:42:27.000I would love to continue to ask these questions so that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels about every one of these issues that they care about.
00:42:35.000And we're disturbing it's a massive issue.
00:42:37.000We're gonna do an entire story just on the responses to the case.
00:45:00.000So RFK said that circumcision is highly linked to autism.
00:45:07.000Now, I'm sure people are just gonna run with that without the full context, but he did also say that it was because basically, and I don't even know if he did say this, but my understanding is he was making the argument that this is because babies are given Tylenol after they're circumcised.
00:45:23.000He wasn't just saying that, like circumcised makes you autist.
00:45:29.000But um Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy stunningly claimed Thursday there may be a link between circumcision and autism due to the distribution of to Tylenol um to infants following the procedure.
00:45:41.000I I just want to point something out by the way.
00:45:43.000I'm not a medical expert, I know nothing about this.
00:45:46.000I have not looked into what he's said about Tylenol.
00:45:50.000I'm not making a claim one way or the other, but what I am saying is like if it is the case that Tylenol does have that effect or that it could be contributing to it, then the circumcision thing and babies being given the medicine after that would actually be a link.
00:46:05.000So I understand why it sounds like a crazy statement, but it's only the whether it's crazy hinges on whether his claim about Tylenol is true at all, but you can tell because listen, it's kind of an unfortunate statement that it's it's just gonna hit the ears very funny.
00:46:22.000This reminds me of on arrested development, Lindsay Bluth.
00:47:39.000I know it has to do with circumcision or not anti-semitism.
00:47:42.000Yeah, I think part of it was what they're talking about in terms of Tylenol, acetamenophen, which is Tylenol, actually doesn't have any pain-relieving properties, apparently in it.
00:47:53.000Also, full disclosure, I'm not a doctor.
00:47:56.000Um that's where you know, people started moving towards um ibuprofen, right?
00:48:02.000Like Advil, things like that to be able to deal with that.
00:48:04.000And so it was even doctors say it's like unless you have like a super high fever, like 104, 1005, like acetamenophen is something that could help address that.
00:48:14.000But the end of the day, it's it's not a like a have properties that deal with pain relief whatsoever, uh, which is shocking if that's true that we gave it to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people uh in the country, uh, young babies when they were circumcised.
00:48:31.000And so there's obviously correlation that Kennedy's trying to draw here, right?
00:48:40.000I don't know, I I'm not a doctor either, but excedrin has acetaminophen in it, and that is like the best headache medication I've ever had.
00:49:31.000I mean, when it comes to this whole conversation about Tylenol, taking Tylenol when you're pregnant, listen, I don't think you have to be that crunchy or that skeptical of the medical system to say people should err on the side of non-intervention, especially when they're pregnant.
00:49:44.000Um I I'm not giving any medical advice here.
00:49:46.000I'm just saying, in my personal opinion, I don't think it's a crazy thing to say, let's be careful about the medicines we're taking we're pregnant.
00:49:52.000Because like you're supposed to be careful about the kinds of food you're eating when you're pregnant.
00:49:55.000They say you're supposed to avoid certain foods that you can normally can have.
00:49:58.000So it doesn't seem outlandish to me that you know somebody might say, hey, we recommend staying away from these medicines.
00:50:05.000Again, that's not me giving medical advice.
00:50:07.000I just find it uh interesting that when RFK says something, there's an entire explosion around the statement, and everyone says it has to be false, and he's nuts, but to me, I don't know, it doesn't seem that wild.
00:50:18.000Um, not necessarily his his claim about like circumcision, but just about avoiding um certain interventions.
00:50:24.000Now children, so this is what RFK Jr. said.
00:51:13.000I'm not a medical expert, I'm not making medical claims.
00:51:16.000But it makes sense to me that if you have a study that tells you there's a disparity between two different groups of people who you're trying to measure outcomes for, you probably look into that instead of laughing at somebody for pointing it out, no?
00:51:53.000Because the thing too is that you can take any collection of information about a thing and put it together and say, here are stats, but that doesn't mean that those things are related in any conceivable way.
00:52:15.000Well, actually, I mean, there's the famous um And now well, but he wasn't in the room when people with uh the shark attacks, people like eating ice cream are more likely to be attacked by sharks, but it's because people eat ice cream in the summer, they swim in the summer, basically.
00:52:28.000I mean, yeah, correlation is not causation, but um Kennedy did not specify the research to which he was referring, but a 2015 study of out of Denmark that tracked nearly 343,000 Gen Z boys suggested that circumcised males were more likely to develop autism before the age of 10 compared to non-circumcised peers.
00:52:44.000All right, listen, I have no idea what the relationship is there, but that's fascinating.
00:52:52.000Um I don't know why that wouldn't be further studied or why further questions couldn't be asked about that, or why it's so insane that we would have a public official invested ostensibly in ensuring that the public is healthy, bringing this up and asking this question about a widely uh practiced medical intervention in our country and the potential outcomes based on studies he's seen.
00:54:09.000Well, yeah, and I think one of the good great things that Secretary Kennedy's been looking at is vaccines and the heavy metals that are in vaccines and if that if there's causation there in terms of increased cases of autism.
00:54:23.000And he always makes this kind of anecdotal point, which is very true, though.
00:54:27.000And it's he does are there any adults walking around that he knows that he's friendly with that have autism that are his age.
00:54:51.000It's not like this is something that we know the cause of beyond a reasonable doubt, and he's just out here throwing these crazy theories at the wall.
00:54:58.000That there has been an uptick, and people say it's because we're better at diagnosing it.
00:55:03.000Some are not convinced by that argument because they feel that again there are more people in higher or there are more people in younger age groups that appear to have symptoms than older people.
00:55:16.000I just think that if we're allowed to say that men can get pregnant, it maybe we're allowed to ask some questions about what causes autism.
00:55:24.000I you know, I don't think that's crazier.
00:55:26.000I actually don't think it's more insane to ask questions about what's causing um a disorder or disability that we don't know the origin of.
00:55:52.000I'm not sure the traitor is necessary because they hate they hate they would hate anybody that Marco Rubio.
00:55:57.000But they specifically hate the Democrats who have been red pilled.
00:56:01.000I mean, I think I that's why they go so hard against Tulsi.
00:56:04.000I don't disagree with you that they do I don't disagree with you, but I don't think that that's that's necessary for them to hate.
00:56:10.000But you I mean, you look at the way that they treat Elon Musk.
00:56:12.000Now, of course, Elon Musk for a time was a Democrat.
00:56:15.000But the the Elon Musk was like the poster boy for like the green revolution.
00:56:20.000He was making Teslas that were gonna they were gonna solve global warming.
00:56:24.000And and then, you know, as soon as he started saying, hold on, like this this woke stuff is kind of crazy.
00:56:30.000Like men can't become women and women can't become men.
00:56:33.000Like your your biology is your biology.
00:56:36.000Then they turned on him and got to the point where the Biden administration didn't even allow Tesla to have insane for the EVs, and they allowed all these crappy EVs to have it, and they wouldn't give Tesla the EV substitute.
00:56:48.000Yeah, they held this huge conference on EVs the Biden administration, and Tesla was the only company not invited to that.
00:56:56.000Literally built the current infrastructure for electric cars.
00:57:00.000I mean, I gotta I got a Tesla, and you can I can go, you know, I can go all the way from from here in West Virginia to my place in New Hampshire, and I will, you know, there's there's charging stations all along the way.
00:57:12.000I mean, that's that and they're all Tesla charged charging stations.
00:57:18.000But but to you, see them at the rest stops.
00:57:19.000Yeah, there that's a whole infrastructure built by Tesla, still currently owned by Tesla, by the way, because like Musk owns all of that stuff.
00:57:27.000He doesn't have it's not like he's got franchises that like where BP has, you know, someone actually owns the store and they just get gas and wear BP's colors.
00:57:35.000Like he actually owns all that part of why he's worth 500 billion dollars now.
00:57:40.000But like the idea that one company built this massive infrastructure that is actually going to this used by all electric cars now, like everybody can go to a supercharger.
00:57:59.000My Tesla has an adapter that I that I bought with it, and I can use other uh other companies' chargers if they if I want, but most of the time, I mean they very rarely do you go to a place that doesn't have a Tesla charger.
00:58:11.000Well, the the other companies' chargers usually are broken or they're not working for whatever reason.
00:58:16.000But again, the guy built the infrastructure for this whole, you know, the green revolution.
00:58:21.000He owns so a solar company that I again, my house has in New Hampshire has solar on it.
00:58:26.000I'm looking into getting house batteries now.
00:58:28.000Like all of this stuff is is because of Musk, and they turned him.
00:59:10.000Well, the other thing too is the you were guys are talking about the lighting the Tesla dealerships on fire and all of that stuff.
00:59:16.000The um Center for Strategic and International Studies, which put out a study that has been widely cited as right wing violence is, you know, worse than left-wing violence.
00:59:26.000That study on left-wing violence does not include attacks on Tesla dealerships and the vandalism against Teslas as left-wing violence.
00:59:34.000It just doesn't include it in the study at all.
00:59:36.000I don't know if this is the same study, but one of those studies basically says that literally anyone with any kind of white supremacist tattoo committing any kind of violent crime, including against another white person, is considered a hate crime.
00:59:47.000So for example, if somebody went to prison and then they were affiliated with a gang, because listen, prison's not this nice place where you're able to live out your principles.
00:59:56.000You know, there are ugly things people have to do to survive.
00:59:59.000And it you join one of these gangs, you get one of these tattoos, which is associated with some skinhead gang.
01:00:04.000You leave prison, you still have this tattoo.
01:00:44.000They tried to say that Charlie Kirk's killer was right wing because his parents were uh were mad at you know right this guy that's loving all these.
01:00:56.000Well, well, that's the other thing, right?
01:00:58.000You can't infer from the fact that he was in that kind of a situation, as well as the fact that he wrote like catch fascist on the bullet and said that he couldn't negotiate with Charlie Kirk's hate.
01:01:08.000Like you can't infer from that that he was left wing.
01:01:11.000But literally anything any white person does is a hate crime against anyone else if the person who's a victim happens to not be white.
01:01:18.000This just speaks to the to what we were discussing earlier, which is the left.
01:01:22.000It doesn't matter what the truth is, it doesn't matter what reality is.
01:01:26.000They will bend and warp whatever narrative they need because again, postmodernism is the philosophy of the day with the left.
01:01:32.000After when people realize that socialism as an economic model didn't work in the 60s and 70s, the whole left was in a total train wreck, and they had to come up with some way to justify it.
01:01:45.000And that postmodernism was right there.
01:01:50.000Yeah, all you have to do is just use words as an as a means to exercise power, because if there is no truth, then no, you know, if there is not this truth, then no truth matters, and we can just shove you know whatever we want into whatever.
01:02:04.000And now you end up with men thinking that if you chop off your penis, you're a woman.
01:02:29.000And it's simple to understand that concept.
01:02:32.000It's like, well, you know, if if you know, if you're hiding behind a desk and someone walks in and look or looks around and then walks out, well, to that guy, he didn't see you, so no one was in the room.
01:02:41.000So to him, it's true that there was no one in the room, but you were still behind the desk.
01:02:46.000Or like to, you know, Bill Maher didn't see the genocide, so there was no genocide happening.
01:02:51.000You know, that's my say it's my segue and x-ray.
01:02:54.000It's actually it's actually it's something you know a lot about, so I'm glad to have you here because it's something I'm really not educated on.
01:02:58.000I've been wanting to learn about, so I'm excited to ask you some questions.
01:03:02.000Yeah, Bill Maher uh said that there, or no, I'm sorry, not Bill Maher.
01:03:07.000My mistake, Al Jazeera was saying to Bill Maher.
01:03:09.000My goodness, my apologies, Bill Maher.
01:03:14.000There's no listen, I have more credibility than 99% of the media because when I realized I accidentally said something wrong, I immediately corrected myself.
01:03:21.000And that's why you guys love Shimcast.
01:03:44.000Uh Al Jazeera, otherwise known as Allah Akbar, uh great outlet there.
01:03:50.000Um so it in any event, yes, so there's a Christian genocide going on in Nigeria, and I sent a letter here just recently, uh just a few days ago this week to Secretary of State Marco Rubio to designate Nigeria uh as a country of particular concern.
01:04:09.000It's on my Twitter handle if you want to go look at it.
01:04:13.000If they're designated a country of particular concern, then they can no longer receive security assistance from the United States, which is a polite way of saying armed sales and training, which is currently underway right now with Nigeria.
01:05:06.000Then there's that middle band of the country where that's most of the killings are taking place.
01:05:12.000The Falani are ones that are that's an ethnic group, most of them farmers are the ones that are undertaking a lot of this indiscriminate killing.
01:05:21.000But just to give you a couple of examples, it's been happening just this year alone.
01:05:24.000There's been 7,000 Christians murdered.
01:05:30.000Uh, since 2009, 51,000 have been murdered.
01:05:34.000And so these folks are obviously Christian martyrs, in my opinion, in my view, they've been martyred for their faith.
01:05:42.000And it's a tragedy that's unfolding, and we're not doing anything about it.
01:05:47.000Now, to go back to that designation, why is that designation not there?
01:05:53.000President Trump put that designation on them, the country particular concern in his first term.
01:05:59.000And by doing that, it put the squeeze on the Nigerian government, which is run by um a Muslim president and vice president right now.
01:06:07.000It put the squeeze on them to try to quell the killings in that country, and it did start to lessen the uh the murders of Christians in Nigeria.
01:06:18.000The Biden administration took that designation off.
01:08:03.000That was a terrible thing that was happening there at that time.
01:08:07.000I'm not saying we need to go stick boots on the ground and go intervene in this uh militarily, but there are a lot of things we can do to Nigeria to stop this from happening, and there's a lot of tools in the toolbox for the administration to stop it.
01:08:22.000So why was this not the first thing that Trump did when he got back into office?
01:08:26.000Well, I mean, look, there was a lot of things President Trump has been trying to do uh and accomplishing, right?
01:08:32.000The one big beautiful bill, all these other things, trying to focus on getting the American people uh what they voted for, which is to put the the uh put the American people first, put America first, put the American worker first, and the family first.
01:08:48.000I know it's important to uh Secretary Stirp Marco Rubio.
01:08:51.000It's something he talked about when he was a senator.
01:08:53.000Ted Cruz has uh also a letter in the U.S. Senate that is the same as my letter.
01:08:58.000He had some other senators join him on that.
01:09:01.000So we're hopeful this uh that we're gonna be able to ramp up the pressure in the House and the Senate on the administration to focus on this.
01:09:09.000Obviously, they're very busy right now trying to negotiate this historic Middle East peace deal that they're dealing, uh that that was just first step of which was just signed.
01:09:22.000But we have tens of thousands of Christians just that have been killed in Nigeria since this this thing has been going on, and it's gotta stop.
01:09:48.000That's why I'm glad that you're here to talk about this.
01:09:50.000It's something I certainly want to look into more so that we can talk about this more because it's horrifying to think that this has been happening for years.
01:09:57.000It's almost never an issue in the news.
01:10:01.000I'm glad that in Trump's first term, he did something about it.
01:10:05.000It's unsurprising to me that Joe Biden would undo that.
01:10:08.000If we're trying to give him some kind of charitable interpretation or at least saying there was like an economic motivation and not just a sheer hatred for what's true, good, beautiful, and innocent.
01:10:17.000Um, why would Joe Biden repeal this protection?
01:10:21.000I to be honest with you, I'm not sure why that happened.
01:10:24.000Some of it is could be speculation here.
01:10:28.000Um the Nigerian government is saying everything I'm saying is untrue, right?
01:10:48.000But there are a lot of articles talking about how like that wasn't genocidal rhetoric.
01:10:52.000I mean, of course, these people are all carrying water for the radical left.
01:10:56.000And this is something that comes up a lot because people will say, isn't it so strange that the left has this alliance with radical Islam?
01:11:04.000Because, you know, Muslims don't approve of homosexuality and they don't like transgenderism and all the social projects that the left is pushing for are opposed to the values of Islam and the values of Muslims.
01:11:16.000But we have to realize is this is not some unintentional quirk.
01:11:19.000The reality is the left emerged on the world stage in the French Revolution with the express purpose of killing Christians.
01:11:25.000And the only time the left has not done so has been when there were strong enough right-wing movements in the country to prevent it from happening.
01:11:32.000The left was marginalized to a degree in the United States where they were not capable of carrying out their bloodlust against innocent people.
01:11:38.000And for a very long time, they were still able to do so by slaughtering millions of completely defenseless, faultless, unborn children.
01:11:47.000And so people ask, how can the left align themselves with Islam?
01:11:52.000Because getting Christians killed is the project.
01:12:41.000Uh I was fortunate enough to be able to speak about it actually on Fox News, Fox Business News, uh, Maria Barterromo gave me uh platform me there a little bit and let me speak about it, which put like the Nigerians over the edge.
01:12:54.000Uh you know, they're all talking about it.
01:12:56.000And Fox, to their credit, has been speaking about it a little bit.
01:12:59.000But you know, this is why platforms like this are so important.
01:13:02.000I mean, we're talking about you know the disinformation of the left and all this other stuff that goes on in this country.
01:13:07.000Can you imagine if like a podcast like this didn't exist, if if platforms like this didn't exist, if you know post-millennial, all these all these things that have come up, we'd still be living in New York Times world.
01:14:46.000If we don't turn our countries around in the West, it is going to be the case that our civilization is going to be preserved by African Catholics.
01:14:54.000Well, Africa, also, though Ethiopia is uh one of the first places where Christianity took root.
01:15:14.000Man, well, listen, it's an important topic.
01:15:16.000Is there anything else you want to say about it before we move on?
01:15:18.000No, uh, I would just anybody listening, please encourage your members of Congress to send either similar letters, contact my office, please push on this issue.
01:16:30.000Everyone just got together and literally prayed.
01:16:33.000And there there was immense power in prayer.
01:16:34.000I think the sad part though is when they killed those kids, which makes me think of my own kids at that Catholic school in uh Minneapolis, and the mayor came out and basically just mocked the idea of praying.
01:16:48.000What a garbage person, Jacob Frey is just terrible.
01:17:13.000Well, uh, in other news, the uh No King's Day protests, another round of them are um planned across nation to oppose Trump administration.
01:17:23.000Here's what I have to say about the No Kings protests.
01:17:25.000We saw them happen before, and a lot of people were making fun of these protesters.
01:17:29.000They're saying these protesters are so old, and it's like, listen, you have to understand they were there when we beat King George, so it's important to them.
01:17:37.000We don't see monarchy in the United States again.
01:18:13.000They said they want people to think that pro-life protesters are all like old church people.
01:18:17.000They don't want you to know young people believe this, they don't want you to know young families believe this.
01:18:21.000It is very important to the media, it is very important to the left-wing press that their cause is depicted as young, energetic people who care about the issues, and your protest is a bunch of old fuddy dutties.
01:18:34.000It's kind of like the I already drew you as the soy jack meme.
01:18:36.000It's like I already took a picture of an old person at your protest.
01:18:59.000So um, you know, if you didn't think the antics were old enough already, a series of No King's Day demonstrations are set to take place nationwide on Saturday, October 18th.
01:19:09.000The protest I just want to mention, I don't know if you guys know this, in Canada, they actually couldn't call it No Kings.
01:20:45.000There was also another article I saw about this where they were talking about tying this specifically into like reproductive freedom, which of course, as we all know, is Orwellian news speak for murdering babies.
01:20:57.000The whole thing's vicious, the whole thing's disgusting, the whole thing's terrible.
01:21:00.000I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on it.
01:21:02.000So this will be interesting for the audience.
01:21:05.000This date of October 18th is very interesting because obviously I get asked.
01:21:55.000We voted to fund the government and we passed it out of the House.
01:21:58.000It sits over in the Senate where you've had almost every Republican vote for two Democrats and an independent who also caucuses with the Democrats is bipartisan support to reopen the government.
01:22:08.000You need 60 votes to get cloture, which means end debate and then actually vote on the bill.
01:22:14.000But I don't think they're going to capitulate uh before this, but we're all being held hostage because one guy, Chuck Schumer, is scared to death of AOC and the potential of her primary him.
01:22:28.000And so I have called for several times, and I'll say it again.
01:22:31.000He needs to step aside and let somebody else lead because leaders are supposed to lead and take hard votes.
01:22:38.000They're not supposed to just hold the country hostage so you can win re-election.
01:22:52.000She raises at least $10 million a quarter, if not more.
01:22:56.000Um so this is something that we were talking about a little bit earlier, and you can actually speak to this, Riley.
01:23:02.000Um I personally think that AOC is the most dangerous Democrat in basically in Washington because she has such an ability to communicate with people.
01:23:14.000And the chat's gonna freak out right now because I'm saying this because they don't like to hear things that are true.
01:23:19.000But she is incredibly charismatic and she can relate to people, and she can, like you said yourself, she can raise tons of money.
01:23:29.000It's my my thought that she if she decides to primary Schumer, she'll win pretty easily.
01:23:46.000Is it the is it the old school Democrats, or is it the far left Democrats that are coming in, the young people like AOC, like the squad, um and Mom Donnie?
01:24:09.000Well, they so they caucus with the DSA and stuff like that.
01:24:13.000So and if if that is going to be, you know, if AOC does win and she is the you know the leader of the Senate, like the far left has won the Democrat Party, then that means that there is no more war.
01:24:26.000If she if she the basically the the ultimate the confrontation is gonna be Schumer versus AOC, this is their, you know, how we had our fight with the establishment within the Republican Party.
01:24:37.000The Mondami one, though, is a good example though, as well, because Cuomo is your establishment guy that they're just trying to jam in there a Clinton guy, right?
01:24:48.000Like that old machine that they're trying to churn back up again.
01:25:45.000And she's she's got she has just as much charisma as Barack Obama did.
01:25:50.000And that's honestly, that is all you need.
01:25:53.000You don't have to have great policy because legitimately the president is the person that signs off on bills.
01:26:00.000Sure, the president has the bully pulpit, but Congress actually writes the laws if they decide to write the laws.
01:26:05.000She can she could do a bunch of executive orders, but her the fact that you came in here talking about how much money she can raise, how I mean you've walked by her in the halls of Congress.
01:26:26.000She's a real politician who has unfortunately some serious capabilities that are really scary to be honest with you.
01:26:35.000Every time you ask, every time you see her on TV or answering a question, she makes a fool out of herself.
01:26:41.000I mean, I don't know who you're talking about, who she's relating to.
01:26:43.000I mean, maybe you're talking about uh uh relatively speaking, in terms of Democrats who everything that they do is coordinated and not even coordinated very well.
01:26:51.000It's uh I I go back to looking at that.
01:26:54.000I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was there were like 40 something members of the house on the Democrat side that were given a script and an exact way of doing they're all holding holding the microphone in the same position, all synced up, and she didn't participate in that.
01:27:08.000But I I I mean, is that what you mean by relate to the Bernie voters?
01:27:12.000All the people that love Bernie, oh yeah, all right.
01:27:16.000She's been on that whole tour, and a lot of the way that she's relatable is literally on TikTok and Instagram and all of this.
01:27:23.000Because she will do I follow her on Instagram because I you know, I want to catch a story before somebody else does.
01:27:29.000But she will go on these platforms and she will just talk to people, she will sit there, she will like you know, cook while she's talking, she'll have a glass of wine, she'll be there.
01:27:39.000Was the famous one where she was drinking wine and putting together her IKEA furniture, you know.
01:27:43.000I mean, that's hugely relatable, and it certainly was at the end.
01:27:46.000So let me give you a huge example though, here, just real quick.
01:27:49.000She stood in front of that U.S. Capitol and talked about the Green New Deal, and we just laughed at her.
01:29:09.000She was the first one, she was like the leader of the squad.
01:29:12.000She was the first one to really start pushing the Democratic Party away from the old machine that you know runs Chicago, Boston, used to run New York until this mom Donnie fellow comes in.
01:29:21.000Yep, she was the one who really started pushing the party far left.
01:29:25.000And now people are afraid of her, and people are also afraid of you know the people who are coming up behind her.
01:29:31.000That's why Hakeem Jeffries has neither endorsed nor not endorsed mom Donnie.
01:29:37.000That's why you saw Kathy Hokel bend the knee to mom Donnie, and then you know what?
01:29:41.000He did not endorse her back, and that's what she was really banking on.
01:29:44.000And he doesn't have to, because he has AOC in his corner and he has all of this stuff.
01:29:48.000So the Democrat Party is going to move further to the left, they're going to continue to advocate for you know, uh leftist violence, they're gonna continue to pretend Antifa isn't part of what they are while encouraging them with their rhetoric to go out and cause mayhem.
01:30:06.000And this is what we're gonna be facing.
01:30:08.000I mean, we're gonna be looking in 2028 at MAGA versus the far left.
01:30:13.000And it's really just going to be a question of what the American people are going to believe is going to do right by them and their kids.
01:30:20.000And if if the republic if the current Republicans aren't successful, if MAGA quote unquote isn't successful, the people that come after MAGA are gonna be your Nick Fuentes's.
01:30:28.000They're gonna be the people like that, that far like they think that Donald Trump, the the the you know, middle of the road people and the left think that Donald Trump is is far right.
01:31:56.000These are bubbles because we printed so much money in the past 15 years since 2008, they've been printing money and printing money and printing money.
01:32:51.000All the she is out there building her own coalition, her own members.
01:32:56.000It's she's aligned with the DSA, like, yeah, she's you know, I I love that where it's like, oh, I'm not a socialist, I'm a democratic socialist.
01:33:03.000Like No, that's it's just an injective for your social media.
01:33:07.000DSA tweets how they follow the sci the the uh what what was the phrasing they used?
01:33:45.000You know, it's not exactly the same thing.
01:33:47.000Sorry to be such a downer, guys, but this is really this is the big thing that I'm scared of, you know.
01:33:51.000And I know I I know I plug this a lot, and I I I always want to evangelize, but the reality is that's also why I think it's part important to have a robust Catholic political movement in your country, because those are gonna be the people who counter the far left, other than the zoomer waffin.
01:34:06.000It's really gonna be between the Catholics and the Zoomer Waffin on the right.
01:34:08.000That's those are gonna be your options.
01:34:10.000Um, we need a robust strong Catholic movement so that when the radical left becomes ascendant and when the far left, like the coalition that Phil is talking about, end up taking channels of power if they do that there is a good, thoroughly right wing position that is not insane and barbaric, and that is the Catholic position.
01:34:35.000There's a di but there's there's there's a lot of conversations they have about like a specifically Catholic political movement for sure.
01:34:41.000I think that it's I think one thing that is important in terms of bringing Christianity back to the fore is that um for years this was primarily a Christian nation and our values and traditions and cultural norms and civil norms were based on Christian values, you know, how you treated people in public and all of that, and then basically atheism took over, and after a couple generations, people are raising their children atheist and eradicating Christianity from public life.
01:35:10.000And the problem with that is the peaceful atheist society that we had was actually based in Christian values, they just didn't name them.
01:35:19.000But now that it's been several generations, it's been a couple of generations anyway, those atheist sort of norms are no longer based in Christianity at all because it's been eradicated from public life so strongly.
01:35:31.000And it's been interesting to see this sort of like nouveau revival movement.
01:35:36.000And I don't know about you guys, but when I was a kid when I was in I guess middle school, probably like we learned about revival movements in the United States that were like in the late 1800s or whatever, and or maybe 18, whatever, I don't know, around there.
01:35:52.000Um, but we learned about these revival movements, and our teachers basically told us that they were snake oil salesmen and that they were all, you know, stuff and nonsense, and that it was people just getting fooled by everything.
01:36:03.000And I'm looking back on it and I'm like, no, I think probably America needs a good revival movement every generation or so.
01:36:09.000Well, and the founders knew that, right?
01:36:11.000So uh I know we all know this quote, but John Adams, right?
01:36:15.000Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
01:36:19.000It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
01:36:25.000And you know, I look at West Virginia and the great things we've been able to do.
01:36:44.000It was you it was a coalition of evangelicals, Southern Baptists, and Catholics all coming together and pushing on this pro-life issue that's so important to me.
01:36:56.000And I'm just so proud of our state to be able to do that.
01:36:58.000But I think that type of coalition effort, you go back to the old conservative movement, the fusionist movement, right?
01:37:04.000Where you had you had your war hawks, anti-communists, libertarians, and social conservatives all coming together to defeat communism, right?
01:37:12.000I think the the coalition is gonna look different, and it's gonna look more like what we were able to do here in West Virginia in terms of our um Christian coalition we put together to pass that law and make West Virginia uh easily one of the most pro-life states in America.
01:38:49.000Topo Enterprise for $10 said that C.S. Lewis says that we try to justify our hypocrisy because we can't bear the thought that we've done wrong.
01:39:00.000Notice that the left doesn't try to justify the actions when they pull a total 180.
01:39:29.000It's about if if I can say this and make this person believe, and then I win the argument, and not even make the person believe, make the people watching believe.
01:39:38.000Then I win the argument, and that's all that matters.
01:40:03.000You had a Harvard graduate wandering around outside of uh Fox News building saying that uh they had to encouraging protesters to chant along with him about going harder and uh no going stronger um than they did on the first October 7th.
01:40:24.000And the protest was called Flood, like Flood New York, and of course the Hamas Massacre was called Alaksa Flood.
01:40:32.000So in what reality are they not calling for a massacre in New York City?
01:40:36.000Well, and so it's also sounds like we've already flooded New York with uh people from other cultures that aren't compatible with ours.
01:40:42.000Yeah, this was a Harvard grad student, and then you also had everybody's favorite Columbia grad, Mahmoud Khalil up at Columbia University complaining more about how there's not enough jihad or something.
01:41:10.000Again, I mean, this stuff is so nuts to me because regardless of whether you fall on like the Israel-Palestine issue, the idea of calling for another October 7th is insane and disgusting.
01:41:21.000It's just and calling for it in New York.
01:41:57.000It's ridiculous that we have to put up with this.
01:42:00.000You know, the the government, the law enforcement is supposed to, you know, uphold the law, not attack journalists or or whatever that are there covering stories.
01:42:12.000Um Buck Bolt 93 says, don't know if you guys saw, but Pam Bondi's DOJ is ordering to a gun foundation and gun policy hand over a list of their members.
01:42:30.000Yeah, I'm not sure the details I heard about it.
01:42:33.000Um, that there was a a decision they want a list of of I don't know what the what the gun group they're referring to, but she asked for a list of of members.
01:42:42.000Was it like John Brown gun club or something?
01:42:45.000Yeah, like that one would make sense to me.
01:42:47.000There was also a uh there was also that group in Seattle where the the um there were like people out at a protest, a bunch of leftists and the leftists, leftist guards of the protest shot an unarmed civilian.
01:43:03.000Yeah, they thought they were aiming for somebody else and they missed Bondi DOJ denies universal relief and requests gun rights group private membership.
01:43:19.000But if it is, if it's like a legitimate guns rights organization, then that's not good.
01:43:23.000That's seriously not good, and I'll call it out as not good.
01:43:26.000I just want more information because I feel like we just get a lot of information That isn't complete with these stories, and then people run with it.
01:43:48.000Yeah, that's what I'm that's why I mentioned the John Brown gun club, like these these more left-wing organizations are like radical leftist organizations.
01:43:54.000Or like the pink, I think it's called like Pink Pony Gun Club, and it's specifically for trans persons to practice um how to use their weapons so that they can fight against uh anti-trans legislation.
01:44:18.000Apparently, according to Groc, firearms, uh, FPC, Second Amendment Foundation, and Louisiana Shooting Association in the lawsuit, Reese versus Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosive, challenging Louisiana's ban on handgun perpet purchases for adults under 21.
01:44:33.000The U.S. Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a brief requesting a verified list of members from these three gunright groups who were enrolled as of November 6, 2020.
01:44:42.000The goal is to limit court relief to only the individual plaintiffs and verified organizational members rather than all affected gun owners.
01:44:50.000On October 7th, 2025, a federal judge in the Western District of Louisiana ordered the groups to provide the list within 21 days, but the second amendment foundation has refused, calling it an unconstitutional demand for a gun owner registry and explore and is exploring appeals.
01:45:03.000I'm a member of FPC right now, so it's so it based on your research, it sounds like they're just going after some regular gun club.
01:45:10.000Yeah, if Wolf FPC is one of the biggest uh gun rights organizations.
01:45:26.000Part of the part of the situation, the part this part where it says the goal is to limit court relief to only the individual plaintiffs and verified organizational members rather than all affected gun owners.
01:45:35.000I'm not sure the details in this particular one, but there was uh uh an N a finding about pistol braces, which has already been has been since been settled, but it there was uh uh uh injunction that was passed preventing the government when Joe Biden uh was present when the when the in the Biden administration um saying that they that everyone that was a member of any of any of the three other groups that were appealing the decision.
01:46:02.000Uh if you had a pistol brace, you were covered.
01:46:04.000And that's exactly why I'm you know a member of FPC.
01:46:07.000Um I don't know what the details are, um, but it seems like they're trying to make sure that it's only people that are that are affiliated with these uh with FPC, Second Amendment Foundation and Louisiana Shooting Association, um, that are covered by the law.
01:48:15.000They'll align with anyone that's against America and Western values.
01:48:19.000But if they align with the with the Islamists, the Islamists are they're not shy in case in case they aren't in case they don't remember what Syria was like, or in case you don't remember what it was like after 9-11, uh, there was a lot of videos on the internet of heads being cut off and and the like people being burned alive in cages, cages submerged in pools so that people could drown.
01:48:44.000They they will not will not tolerate the left.
01:48:48.000They will align with them and help them win, and then when the le when when the Islamists and left win, the Islamists will then look to the left and they will start cutting heads off.
01:48:57.000Well, and a reformed uh a son who is uh a man who is a son of one of the Hamas leaders and who left that whole organization said that the left in the United States are just useful idiots.
01:49:33.000It's not just talk, it's not at all just uh, it's not a pose at all.
01:49:37.000You look at, I forget who it was, but they're the the UAE and they talk about how they got rid of the Muslim Brotherhood.
01:49:45.000Like, and they talk about how foolish the West is for allowing people that agree with the Muslim Brotherhood.
01:49:49.000They're like, they're literally say things you can you can just Google it on YouTube and you'll see, you know, people that are are in in the UAE government, they're like, you people are fools.
01:49:59.000Why we as Muslims, as Arab Muslims, we don't have these problems because we don't tolerate it.
01:50:05.000You people are completely foolish to allow these people into your country and to behave the way they do.
01:50:11.000The reason they don't do that in our countries is because we don't let them.
01:50:16.000And like people that think that the the Middle East and people in the Middle East are just like Westerners, and this is something that Barack Obama said too, and it was a terrible, terrible thing that he did.
01:50:27.000He said, Look, these people that are in the Middle East, and this is when the Syrian civil war is going on, they're they just need jobs.
01:50:50.000If you if you're talking about cultures where it is acceptable to kill homosexuals because they're homosexual, or to to cut people's heads, cut people's hands off because they're thieves, right?
01:51:01.000Like whether or not you believe that actually is cruel and unusual, the point that I'm making is these these people see the world very differently to the left.
01:51:10.000And the left are allowing them to infiltrate their ranks, and if the left wins and and actually wins the culture war, they're gonna lose against the Islamists.
01:51:21.000Yeah, but then it's worth it to them because they just want Christians to die in their hearts.
01:51:25.000No, and the left is just useful idiots.
01:51:27.000Yeah, the left because they're malleable.
01:51:28.000I'm not saying every individual leftist wants that, but I'm saying like that is how leftism operates in history.
01:51:33.000Yeah, and and the the like a lot of the true believers, that is really what they want.
01:51:37.000But it's funny, you mentioned they don't have theory of mind, and they can't I agree with you, but then and they don't believe other people believe things, but like they do believe you believe in white supremacy.
01:51:44.000Like they're like, no one thinks differently from me, but you're a white supremacist.
01:51:54.000They don't no, they don't I think they do think you're racist.
01:51:56.000I 100% think they think you're racist problem.
01:51:58.000I don't I don't think it matters like to them really, because they may they say racist things all the time.
01:52:04.000I know, but they don't see that it's racist when they say it because they don't have the institutional power or they're not fighting on the side of the institutions.
01:52:10.000They don't think it's racist because they don't believe in racism.
01:52:15.000They're all but the the point the point that I'm making is the oppression victim hierarchy, yes, they do believe in that.
01:52:22.000Yes, but that's why they could but the reason they think God is dead.
01:52:25.000They don't believe that like they believe that like uh Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy.
01:52:30.000Do you like the the argument they will say that black people can't be racist, sure they but then they'll but then they'll also say that Larry Elder is racist.
01:52:39.000So it's not that they believe you're racist.
01:52:41.000It doesn't matter what they say they believe.
01:53:04.000The the re part of the reason I say that we can say they do believe that um Christians should be hurt and they want Christians to be hurt is because you're right, they play language games, but when you look at their actions and when you look at the actions of the left historically, that's what they've done.
01:53:16.000Everywhere they they've come to power, they've they've slaughtered Christians.
01:53:18.000But the reason they slaughter Christians is because Christianity gives you a foundation of belief.
01:53:24.000Christianity gives you a right and wrong.
01:53:35.000There's one theory that like they want to destroy the family and they want to destroy Christianity because those things are standing in the way of socialism.
01:53:41.000I believe that like the actual entire purpose of socialism is they do want to destroy Christianity, they do want to destroy the family.
01:53:47.000I think that's the center of the bullseye for them.
01:53:49.000They do because b but it's not but they do that because it stands in the way of their revolution.
01:54:05.000They align themselves with the left, and obviously they wouldn't align with us, but they know that the right, specifically the Christian right, we're not malleable.
01:54:24.000And so for us, we are a threat in their mind, and so that's why it's alignment of convenience, right?
01:54:33.000Uh, in between the left and the um and the and the Islamist extremists that are out there.
01:54:38.000Um, no name farmer said Sheamus, make a video where sorter's camera magically causes riots whenever turned on, and that's when the cops arrest him for disorderly conduct, dude.
01:55:56.000Um Poppins Patches video says, My wife is a pretty MAGA pediatrician, RFK is driving her nuts.
01:56:04.000The lack of citing the studies he's talking about or the studies he cited, don't say his claims.
01:56:09.000Now I send her articles to work her up.
01:56:11.000That's like a like a like a good husband.
01:56:15.000You gotta get her upset every now and again.
01:56:17.000No, it's funny because listen, I know uh doctors who are concerned.
01:56:23.000I know one doctor in particular who's more conservative, like kind of libertarian conservative, and he sort of likes RFK, but he'll say things like that too.
01:56:30.000That's why, again, my whole point is I don't think we should treat it as so wild that RFK is asking questions about autism, like you mentioned earlier.
01:56:37.000I don't think it's so nuts that he has questions about various interventions, but I've heard that from from medical professionals, like including some conservative ones.
01:58:23.000Um Baitcaster says, tell them, Phil, Zoomers will change the union.
01:58:31.000I it's gonna be interesting to see what the I mean, interesting, by which I mean horrifying, to see what the declining birth rate does to politics.
01:58:41.000Obviously, there's like if we we're importing foreigners to try to make up for that, but it only makes it worse.
01:58:54.000And there's a question like, how do we get people?
01:58:56.000How do we get uh legacy Americans, heritage Americans, to start having large enough families again to meet replacement?
01:59:03.000Because it's not even just the case that's like, oh, we used to have we uh everyone was having six kids and now everyone's having three kids.
01:59:08.000It's like we're not even at replacement anymore.
01:59:13.000Like the joke was you know, married couple with white picket fence and 2.5 kids, and that was sort of like oh doofus jokers, and now nobody has you know, people are not having 2.5 kids.
01:59:25.000Hot take that's gonna get me in trouble in the comments section.
01:59:27.000Young people are replacing children with dogs.
01:59:38.000Yeah, I wanted to mention this when we were talking about the Hassan thing because he has this dog sitting behind him, and it's sort of a prop there.
01:59:47.000Okay, this is the per and I love dogs, I love animals, but I think what happens with certain people is because an animal can't speak to you, it is easier to project your personality onto it, and therefore, that is why a lot of very selfish people are like very obsessed with animals.
02:00:07.000I'm not saying it's you're selfish if you're obsessed with animals.
02:00:09.000I really love dogs, but I am saying there's a certain kind of person who's like, I love my dog out.
02:00:15.000You just project your ego onto it, and that's why when like the dog gets up in the middle of a stream, you freak out and and hurt it because like you don't actually love it.
02:00:23.000You see it as a tool to bolster your own ego.
02:00:27.000People need somewhere to put their love.
02:00:29.000And so they they put it all on their dogs or their dumb cat.
02:00:33.000And I feel I feel like a little bit bad for these people that constantly are posting photos of their dogs like they are children.
02:00:54.000That's different, but I I I want to make clear too.
02:00:57.000I'm talking about a very specific kind of person.
02:00:59.000I'm not saying everyone who has pets or like everyone who was infertile and couldn't have kids and and got pets or something is that kind of person.
02:01:24.000Have you read have you read the some of the or have you seen the uh TikToks about reading her lyrics and being like, oh my god, she's gonna she's on the alt-right pipeline now.
02:02:29.000But we have passed a bill to fund the military in the house.

02:05:14.000Thank you for the incredibly strong start we've had to our crowdfunding campaign with your help.
02:05:20.000This has really been incredibly touching.
02:05:22.000It's been an amazing outpouring of support.
02:05:24.000Um I'm really inspired to keep kicking butt with this and make this show.
02:05:28.000I'm very honored to have gotten to host Timcast, and I'm going to see every single one of you on the after show in a couple minutes here.
02:05:34.000I'm very honored to have gotten to host Timcast, and I'm going to see every single one of you on the after show.
02:06:04.000I'm very honored to have gotten to host Timcast.
02:09:28.000Welcome to the after show, which is the only segment Libby feels comfortable expressing her true feelings on all of the dark horrible and words.
02:09:43.000She said you guys didn't even want to know.
02:12:25.000They didn't get Creed, but he's he he specifically said, I don't think he did it on the show, so I'm not gonna say because I know that they would want to, I don't want to scoop him or anything, but I he talked about the situation.
02:13:19.000There's so many names that you could have chosen from, and we went with somebody that like 90% of the population has never heard of.
02:13:26.000Yeah, and somebody who said that he was officially boycotting touring in the United States.
02:13:31.000Yeah, well, I I want to mention this too.
02:13:33.000So the the performer whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez, it's not even really bad bunny, told reporters previously people from this is insane.
02:13:41.000He's using a fake name to pass as an American.
02:13:44.000Um, he is Puerto Rican, so he is American.
02:13:46.000No, I know, I know, but he's mostly popular outside of the United States.
02:14:06.000Since it was revealed that Martinez would be performing, he has appeared to go out of his way to disrespect the country, sitting down while everyone else stood during a performance of God.
02:14:21.000When you say someone's not American, even as a jailcover and goes, he's Puerto Rican.
02:14:25.000It's like, then why is he disrespecting America?
02:14:28.000And they'll get upset like if you actually hate America, if you want to disrespect the country, why would it bother you if people told you you weren't an American?
