On today's show, we discuss the latest in the latest news involving the Secret Service and the Iran story, and why Hooters may be going out of business. Plus, we talk about the latest on Kamala Harris and why she should win the 2020 election.
00:00:47.000But I think one of the most damning things is that despite knowing that law enforcement were running down a guy armed with a rifle while people were screaming, they still stood down.
00:01:38.000And then I guess for everybody else who lives in the real world, Hooters may be closing down, so start crying now because your wings and your beers and your boobs, they're going to be going away and you're not going to be able to go hang out there if things carry on the way they are.
00:01:50.000So when they say there's no recession or no threat of recession, I don't know about that.
00:01:54.000Before I get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com.
00:01:57.000Buy Cast Brew Coffee because it's very good coffee.
00:03:07.000I currently serve as the co-chairman of the Republican National Committee Youth Advisory Council, and so I've had the opportunity to work with the president and the campaign on how we get young people to turn out and vote in November, and it's been going incredibly well.
00:03:20.000I think there are a lot of young people, especially among Generation Z, who are tired of the woke nonsense and frankly can't afford to support Kamala Harris again.
00:03:27.000We can't afford groceries, can't afford rent, can't afford to own a home in Kamala.
00:05:28.000All right, here's the story from the New York Post.
00:05:33.000And this is just one story in a plethora of stories where we keep learning that the Secret Service either did not do their job for some ridiculous reasons, like why weren't they doing drone detection?
00:05:50.000Well, someone forgot to bring a cable, and so they were calling tech support, but tech support wouldn't answer.
00:06:03.000Secret Service was informed of Crook's 27 minutes before shots were fired, never told Trump to get off the stage.
00:06:08.000Quote, shortly before shots were fired, Secret Service counter-snipers saw local law enforcement running towards the AGR building with their guns drawn, but he did not alert former President Trump's protective detail to remove him from the stage.
00:06:40.000The reporting has later come out, now Time is saying, that the day before the shooting, they arrested this guy for organizing a hit on Donald Trump.
00:06:48.000Instructed Secret Service to increase their security.
00:06:51.000The very next day, Secret Service, in every facet, stands down at key moments.
00:06:57.000You're not going to convince me this was an accident.
00:07:00.000I have long said, I prefer Occam's Razor, no conspiracy theories.
00:07:05.000The simple solution tends... I'm sorry, let's be very correct.
00:07:08.000In the absence of evidence, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions tends to be correct.
00:07:12.000Which would be, in my opinion, not that The Feds instructed the Secret Service, hey, there's an assassination plot against Donald Trump.
00:07:21.000We just arrested the guy who organized it.
00:07:22.000Be on the lookout and increase your security.
00:07:24.000And then they went, okay, and then didn't do it accidentally?
00:07:28.000Every single agent just doesn't do it.
00:07:31.000Then you have a guy flying a drone around.
00:07:33.000Well, you know, our drone detection wasn't working.
00:07:35.000Okay, you didn't see every every it's remarkable.
00:07:38.000It was it was it was an act of demonic possession or satanic intervention, where every Secret Service agent was stricken blind, deaf and dumb all at the same moment.
00:07:47.000And they couldn't see the drone flying over Trump's rally.
00:08:35.000All of the rank-and-file dudes just assumed everything was taken care of, but now we're seeing the lead Secret Service agent at Trump's butler rally knew of the threat and didn't raise the alarm.
00:08:45.000It's exactly what I said, exactly what I predicted.
00:09:14.000Look, there's that survey that shows 28% of Democrats believe, I think it was you, Gov, who did the survey, that the country would be better off if Trump was killed.
00:09:36.000I think it's telling that Senator Chris Blumenthal, who's a Democrat from Connecticut, has been saying for weeks now the public is going to be shocked by this.
00:09:43.000And he's been saying all of these federal agencies are stonewalling this investigation.
00:09:48.000In his comment today, he said, A man died, a former president was almost killed, and it was completely preventable from the outset.
00:09:54.000I mean, it is bizarre to me that there is so many, like, examples in this report where it's just so – it feels like if it was this preventable, why do we fund this agency?
00:10:07.000There's – one of the examples that some of the reporting has given is that the – you Secret Service knew from the beginning that the local snipers were planning on setting up inside the building rather than on top.
00:10:19.000They didn't station their own person there.
00:10:21.000They didn't ask them to be on top of it.
00:10:23.000I think that was one of the big questions from the outset.
00:10:25.000Like, there is a rooftop near a presidential candidate, near President Trump.
00:10:30.000Why was it left available for occupancy?
00:10:33.000And the answer is the Secret Service let it be available.
00:10:36.000And then in the days after you get Kim Cheadle, the former director, she's obviously resigned over this, who said, You know, the buck stops with us, the Secret Service, but also local law enforcement was in charge of that building.
00:10:48.000I mean, they really set local law enforcement up to take the fall for this.
00:10:51.000And that, again, speaks to this overwhelming culture of wanting to avoid responsibility that we are now getting bipartisan confirmation of.
00:10:59.000It's not like Republicans are out there wagging their fingers.
00:11:02.000It's Democrats who are joining in and saying the Secret Service messed up in an inexcusable way.
00:11:08.000And I think this problem is, you know, systemic, right?
00:11:10.000Because I think people, you know, forget that the Secret Service has had many scandals and many different administrations as well.
00:11:17.000There was the prostitution scandal abroad that rocked the agency during the Obama years, and now we're having this.
00:11:23.000But Tim, to give you a little bit of solace here, I think conspiracy theorists, we're conspiracy theorists today, but the truth teller is tomorrow.
00:11:28.000And I think that's exactly what's happening here.
00:11:31.000It doesn't make any sense to try to explain away what just absolutely seems like common sense.
00:11:39.000Why would you not make sure there were agents there who had a clear view of the president, able to take him out?
00:11:45.000And also too, if he knew that the assassin or the would-be assassin was there, why did he not make the call to go neutralize him immediately?
00:11:53.000They arrested this guy the day before, a Pakistani with Iranian ties, for organizing a hit on Donald Trump, told the Secret Service of the plot.
00:12:03.000Matt Gaetz revealed, I think it was, who was it, was it Posobiec, that there's five Or was it Benny Johnson?
00:12:10.000There's five assassination teams in the United States targeting Donald Trump.
00:13:19.000All these different federal agencies were operating independently and they wanted coordination between them.
00:13:24.000And the current head of the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, was impeached by the House for being derelict in duty because of the crisis at the southern border.
00:13:35.000I mean, there have been concerns about how the Department of Homeland Security is being managed for All of the Biden administration.
00:13:43.000I don't know why it would be surprising that yet another component of this would be vulnerable, whether that's because they are not good at their jobs or because they're intentionally leaving gaps in Trump's security.
00:13:55.000I know we don't want to make accusations, but it just seems like at a certain point, if it wasn't intentional, it's so careless that it's like, This should be a completely defunded department.
00:14:07.000After 9-11, man, the way that they locked down and created all this... First of all, if there's terrorist cells trying to kill Donald Trump, those are domestic terrorist organizations.
00:14:29.000Well, let me help you out, good Sir Ian, with some enlightening information.
00:14:33.000The DHS consists of the Customs Service, Immigration, you've got Federal Protective Services, like Federal Police, you've got Transit Security, Law Enforcement Training Center, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Strategic National Stockpile, National Disaster Medical System, Nuclear Incident Response Teams, Domestic Emergency Support Teams, the Center for Domestic Preparedness, CBRN Countermeasures, the Department of Energy thing.
00:15:08.000We can certainly make the argument about the expansion of executive authority going too far, but the Coast Guard operating the Department of Transportation seems kind of weird to me.
00:15:15.000I think maybe Department of Homeland Security kind of makes sense in bringing in security apparatus into one area.
00:15:23.000They call it Homeland Security, but they'll call things different names than what they're actually doing.
00:15:27.000I don't know why they made that organization.
00:15:29.000Why did they centralize authority like they did?
00:15:31.000Well, the Department of Defense is actually the Department of Offense.
00:15:58.000So I have to wonder, with the You know, we had what?
00:16:02.000These Secret Service agents all started retiring so they could get their pensions because if these investigations go too far, they could lose their pensions or their retirement or whatever.
00:16:13.000I'm wondering if we're going to get any kind of real explanation, because right now what I'm seeing with the Senate report, nobody wants to bring up the elephant in the room.
00:16:26.000And that is, it appears the Secret Service agents, and I believe this is the most reasonable conclusion but may not be correct, were hoping that Trump's life would be lost.
00:16:36.000Which is crazy because he's still dependent on the Secret Service for protection, right?
00:16:40.000The fact that this is even a question and that's who is still in charge of security, at least for me, seems like, you know, shouldn't we bring in a third party here?
00:16:48.000Do we have, like, the SEAL team that's available to secure him for a little while?
00:16:53.000I know, which is like, I mean, on the one hand, I understand that there is a level of like, if he is going to be the president and the Secret Service remains in place, you don't want to create a relationship with them where you are antagonizing them.
00:17:06.000I mean, even after the first assassination attempt, His whole family came out and said there are really great agents.
00:17:12.000They made what I felt like was a pretty clear distinction between the overarching bureaucracy of the Secret Service and the agents who have been assigned to their specific details.
00:17:21.000And even in the report, there's a part where they say that Trump's detail had requested basically a certain amount of reinforcements and extra support and they had been denied that by corporate at the top Secret Service.
00:17:36.000I think Trump is in a very difficult position where he is both dependent on the agents and also has an understanding from the inside that it's like a lot of parts of the federal bureaucracy.
00:17:47.000Some agents are working honestly and some are not.
00:17:53.000Trump to return to Butler Fairgrounds where first assassination attempt occurred for October 5th rally.
00:18:00.000And that's big news, but I do have some concerns here.
00:18:03.000I'm worried about how they're going, they're going to need a wheelbarrow for Trump's nuts to, you know, try and get him back on stage again.
00:18:10.000This guy's testosterone, and I'm waiting for all the left to lose their mind over me saying this.
00:18:14.000Trump's got, I think he's got a defect, he's got hypergonadism or something.
00:18:35.000To come back to this place, to be fair, lightning ain't gonna strike twice, but this is an open field, and that water tower, whether it's part of, there's a conspiracy theory about it or not, whether it is involved or, you know, some people think there's a guy up there, I don't know about any of that stuff.
00:18:50.000There's still a serious vantage point.
00:18:52.000Trump is going out in the open once again to the same place.
00:18:57.000I think it sends a powerful, powerful message, and I respect it.
00:19:01.000Sum it up, it's BDE in every sense of the word.
00:19:04.000And I think also, too, he is the move over 50 cent.
00:19:07.000You know, I think he is literally daring all these people who have quite literally wished death upon him, continue to wish death upon him.
00:19:14.000And, you know, you're talking about kind of this bureaucratic, you know, dereliction of duty to protect the president.
00:19:21.000What we also saw yesterday was the DOJ.
00:19:24.000I believe they released the letter that was talking about the bounty on his head, a head of this rally is absolutely insane. That was one of the
00:19:33.000stories where I was just like, this is just, it's becoming like, you can't deny what you're
00:19:38.000seeing right now. This is, this is, I don't know, it's just negligence, but it's so
00:19:42.000negligent that I don't think, I think we got to use a higher degree of language to start
00:19:56.000The second assassin put a box in some guy's house with a note in it that basically said, world, I failed you, but he's offering up $150,000 to anybody else who would try and harm Trump.
00:20:05.000But ain't nobody's got that money, and it's not a real bounty.
00:20:15.000The Iranian plot was a million dollars.
00:20:18.000You don't need this guy's crackpot nonsense.
00:20:20.000So a lot of people are saying, oh, why is the DOJ putting out this information as a bounty?
00:20:23.000I'm like, because it proves Trump is under threat of assassination, and it triggered the Democrats and the Republicans coming together unanimously to give more security to Donald Trump.
00:20:32.000A bunch of people were, for real, all over Twitter were saying, you know, with the Covenant shooter they wouldn't release the manifesto, they're putting a target on Trump's back, and I'm like, no, they just forced Democrats to fund Trump's security detail.
00:20:44.000But don't you think they could have done that in a classified briefing, though, with those members of, like, the Appropriations Committee in the House and the Senate?
00:20:51.000Yeah, but I think, I overall think the publishing of that letter by the DOJ is good for Donald Trump, and it's good for the right, and it's bad for the Democrat narrative.
00:21:09.000It's Antifa and leftists who are engaged in the majority of it because the media keeps screaming in their faces that the far-right neo-Nazis are coming for them.
00:21:17.000This narrative is being turned on its head because, in fact, it's now been repeatedly liberal-aligned individuals.
00:21:24.000That guy, the second assassin, had a Biden-Harris sticker on his car, on his truck or whatever.
00:21:51.000And I also think it shows a level of authenticity and political messaging that his campaign is able to pull off, that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz definitely can't and Biden never could.
00:22:02.000I mean, think about Biden, the last time they tried to make Biden seem really tough and strong.
00:22:09.000That event he did in Philadelphia where he stood in front of the podium and there was like those crazy dictator lights behind him.
00:22:15.000I mean they tried to position him as like this strong man and he's really not, whereas this is an example of like true strength.
00:22:22.000Trump is returning to a place where something really awful happened.
00:22:25.000I mean it wasn't just that he was shot, two other men in the crowd were shot, plus Corey Comptor lost his life.
00:22:31.000And he's saying, like, I think this is symbolic of the energy that Americans are looking for in their candidates, that there is sort of a, I will not back down, even when I have a lot to lose myself.
00:22:42.000So much of, I feel like the way a lot of politicians message right now is like, well, I'm afraid that it will upset my constituents.
00:23:28.000I think his base is extremely fired up.
00:23:31.000Everywhere you go, you hear people saying, I'm going to vote for the one that they keep trying to kill.
00:23:36.000And rightfully so, because why are all these people trying to kill this man?
00:23:40.000Because he represents the gravest threat to the deep state and everything they believe in, everything they stand for, which is diametrically opposed to the interests of the American people.
00:24:30.000I think a lot of people will travel to it because again, it's this, it's this retaking of something that was, could have been awful, you know, could have, I mean, it was awful already, but it could have been catastrophic.
00:24:41.000And he is saying like, we won't back down.
00:24:44.000And I think that feeds again, he is more authentically able to pull off this courageous, like we are going to face hard things as a country and overcome them energy that again, Americans want right now.
00:24:54.000Kamala Harris will tell you every day, like, I'm going to have an opportunity economy and hope and change and whatever else.
00:25:10.000And sort of to your point, she took time out of her debate when she should have been presenting herself as someone with specific and thought out policies to the American voters to say, well, people don't even go to Trump's rallies.
00:26:21.000Like, this has never before happened, right?
00:26:23.000Well, I mean, just think about what history would write of this election cycle.
00:26:27.000Donald Trump is shot in the side of the head.
00:26:29.000And look, I always talk about how history is condensed.
00:26:33.000When you're reading about history, you know, the Battle of Fort Sumter and then that led to the Battle of Manassas and it's like, whoa, how long apart was that?
00:26:39.000It wasn't like five minutes later, they all ran up to D.C.
00:26:43.000Probably there was a period of calm and people didn't think it was going to happen.
00:26:46.000They're going to write in the history books, they're going to say in July 13th, 2024, a gunman struck Donald Trump in the side of the head.
00:26:52.000He would later go on to return to the rally for a historic moment on October 5th, and you will read that in one paragraph.
00:26:58.000When Teddy Roosevelt got shot during giving a speech, he just finished the speech.
00:27:24.000That could have been the last moment of his life.
00:27:26.000It was brave, yes, but you have to balance bravery with intelligence.
00:27:30.000And there are times when you retreat as a brave man, and it's called a tactical retreat, because you can reposition to come back into the situation.
00:27:42.000I'd like you to imagine a bunch of, let's just say, elvish writers, you know, and they're standing in the fields charging towards the orcs.
00:27:54.000And their leader, seeing them be outflanked and their numbers being decimated, knows that he needs to lead one last charge, for if the orcs go forth, they will destroy their homeland of Elftown or whatever.
00:28:07.000And so the leader raises the flag and runs full speed towards an entire army, knowing he may not make it, but the people need to see that their leader is standing on the front line in the face of danger, refusing to back down.
00:28:19.000So I hear this from people like anybody who stands up when they're getting shot as a moron.
00:29:28.000And I say they, the people who hate him and want to see him harmed.
00:29:30.000They wanted to see him crouch down, panic and frantically run in a random direction.
00:29:34.000And they would have put that on TV and said, what a scared, And you know, you can't really pin that on Trump because that was the Secret Service's job was to hold him down even though his instinct is to get up to stop him from doing it.
00:29:45.000Because we know you want to get up, Don.
00:29:46.000We know you want to be the leader in the front.
00:29:48.000But there are times when it's too dangerous and we have to protect you from your own ego.
00:31:25.000You can watch the live stream as I'm getting shot at, and I run, you know, through tear gas.
00:31:31.000I do not believe I could handle it the same way Trump would, where he knows he's got all of the people who believe in him standing beside him, and his gut reaction first was, let me get my shoes, but then he stands up and says, fight, fight, fight.
00:31:57.000I think Donald Trump did what a leader needs to do and showed defiance in the face of danger.
00:32:02.000He wanted to let the people know he was OK.
00:32:03.000Yeah, I mean, I think even the like, let me get my shoes thing is sort of speaking to the like, I am going to leave this stage with composure and with dignity to show everyone that like, This did not rattle me.
00:32:16.000I am bigger than this, which is fascinating.
00:32:19.000To be shot and then think everyone here needs me to be strong.
00:33:23.000Brutally insult that guy and people that love them would just be like, okay, that's enough Whatever, but they didn't take it emotionally harmful and people that love this guy will get like physically Hurt if you insult him some of them not everybody and then people that can't stand and will get physically hurt if you If you promote him, and it's, I've never seen this before.
00:33:44.000It's like it's architected to be this way through media manipulation.
00:33:47.000It's got to be like the people are programmed.
00:34:42.000That's why that Quinnipiac poll showed that 90% of Democrats fear violence because MSNBC has just been beaten over the head screaming that it's gonna get bad.
00:34:50.000Which is so insane when they're the ones trying to literally kill their political opponents.
00:35:39.000Working with this drama in part because I think it feeds their own viewership.
00:35:44.000Like, do you remember during COVID people talked about this a lot?
00:35:47.000You would get people saying like, I just had to take a break from watching the news because everything is so horrible, but I feel like I have to be informed and I can't look away.
00:35:53.000And I think there are a lot of Americans who feel that way about politics.
00:35:56.000They are prone to being anxious or prone to having some sort of unstable emotional reaction
00:36:24.000You know, they say, well, Trump is a danger all the time and you should live in fear.
00:36:28.000It's inaccurate and I think it does a disservice to the people who are depending on them, who feel a level of helplessness and look to the mainstream media to give them accurate information.
00:36:38.000They're not doing it because it serves their bottom line.
00:36:40.000Yeah, I get that vibe too that they're not it's not that the the MSNBC anchors that say things like he's a threat he must be stopped at all costs or whatever these words they're using they're not trying to kill him but they are living in fear and they're making money off of driving viewers that and maybe they deep down I think a lot of people have been driven insane by the media cycle, and in 2020 we saw this.
00:39:11.000And he saw the 2008 economic collapse.
00:39:14.000He saw, I don't know if he understood exactly everything that was going on.
00:39:17.000He's very smart and he knows a lot more than he lets on sometimes.
00:39:20.000But he's really trying to offer a remedy to this economic catastrophe that the United States has been suffering through the overprinting of fiat currency in the last 50 years.
00:39:31.000And not everyone seems to either understand that he's trying to do that or agrees with his form of solution, especially the imperialist powers that are trying to convert the United States into the serfdom technocracy where they're trying to strip people of their rights and make them part of a global system where they serve the corporation like Trump's not into that crap.
00:39:51.000It really feels like, you guys ever see the movie Elysium with Matt Damon?
00:39:55.000Yeah, so there's a space station in the sky where all the white French-speaking people live and then everyone on earth is like non-white and speaks Spanish.
00:40:02.000But it really does feel like that Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, the Democrats, They represent literally that.
00:40:10.000They're going to bring in a bunch of non-citizens under temporary protected status to give them jobs, but they won't have any voting rights.
00:40:15.000They'll be second-class citizens so they can create their affluent suburbs walled off from everybody else and have surf labor.
00:40:24.000And Trump is like, how about we just secure our borders, have a bunch of babies, get jobs, and do the hard work to make this country function again.
00:40:31.000And I'm kind of like, I kind of like that.
00:40:34.000With the right imperial base, with the right industrial base, you can.
00:41:19.000Now we're at this point where If in the United States we unleash energy as per Donald Trump's number one plan in Agenda 47, that brings costs down.
00:41:32.000The simple version is, if you have to work less, you have an opportunity to work on other things more.
00:41:39.000So for all these young people who are like, I don't want to work at Starbucks, I want to do fulfilling things.
00:41:44.000Imagine if Starbucks paid you so well, you only had to work there part-time a little bit, enough to pay your bills, and then have an additional 40 hours to, I don't know, learn guitar or paint or whatever it is you wanted to do.
00:41:54.000That's a good economy, and that's what we want to happen.
00:41:57.000Trump, energy is the first step, and I know Ian loves it.
00:42:26.000Yeah, you use these closed systems to pull water out of wells.
00:42:31.000It makes sense in the third dimension, but in reality there are no closed systems.
00:42:34.000We draw energy from outside of our perception.
00:42:37.000Well, so this is, a good example is when you see these videos online of like, there will be a perpetual motion machine, and you're like, how's it spinning?
00:42:45.000Well, it's because sunlight is hitting a part of it which causes the expansion of gases or something, so it's possible to do.
00:42:50.000Yeah, and along the lines of creating perpetual motion, the sun, we would look at it and say, that is perpetual motion.
00:43:58.000That's why they're defending Ukraine and funding it.
00:44:00.000And I know Everyone in America, they just love hydrogen energy so much and they're so interested in it, that's why they're going to vote for Donald Trump.
00:44:07.000Look at what they're doing at Rice with flash joule heating.
00:44:09.000You can take carbon and hit it with electricity at 7,000 degrees at 0.1 millisecond pulses and turn it into graphene powder and you get hydrogen, about $4.50 worth of hydrogen for every kilogram of graphene you produce.
00:44:20.000You actually end up profiting, making a profitable, just by, you actually make money to create the hydrogen.
00:45:07.000What is the point of this subcommittee?
00:45:10.000Because it's necessary for the public and the media to hear, to try, and provide cover for the eradication of the Department of Justice and the FBI.
00:45:21.000We are having these hearings so that you become immune.
00:45:25.000You become inured to the notion of the removal of the FBI and DOJ.
00:45:32.000So that those agencies are no longer there to serve as a check against white nationalism, great replacement theorists, Christian nationalists, white fragility, fascists, and the twice impeached, convicted felon, former president, and would-be dictator, Donald Trump.
00:46:39.000for the Virgin Islands. It's a very racist statement she made, talking about white people,
00:46:44.000like white—what about racial fragility? How about that?
00:46:48.000How about racial supremacy as a problem?
00:46:50.000There has been this attempt to turn Christian nationalism into a boogeyman.
00:46:53.000They're trying to make Christian nationalism out to be like extremists, when mostly it's just
00:47:01.000Christians who believe in a country with a moral foundation in Christianity.
00:47:08.000And they're, like, if they were as a threat as anyone might, as she claims them to be, they would have been doing substantially more over the past several decades.
00:47:16.000I get like xenophobia is a bit of a problem.
00:47:19.000You don't want people being so terrified of their neighbor that they won't even let them on their property.
00:47:23.000But it's also not the role of the FBI to fight against xenophobia, though.
00:47:26.000You know, I think, you know, that's not going to convince anyone to be less xenophobic.
00:47:29.000But I think what's troubling really about this is that, you know, the Christian national thing has always been really interesting to me because it's like, you separate the words of Christian nationalism, nationalism, you love your country, you believe in, you know, it's the best country in the world, whatever.
00:47:43.000And you have Christian, you know, Christian, which is Christianity.
00:47:46.000So which of those two things do these people have a problem with?
00:47:49.000Like loving your country or loving your God?
00:47:51.000And if you were to place, you know, Christian nationalists with Muslim nationalists, she would never say that word.
00:47:56.000She would never say that with any other religion.
00:47:58.000But for some odd reason, when it comes to saying Christian nationalists, it's okay to wage a war against Christians in this country, but any other religion, you can't do it.
00:48:06.000Even if we're going to step back and be like, okay, like those are ideologies and beliefs.
00:48:11.000It's kind of weird that the DOJ and the FBI would target people based on their beliefs.
00:48:15.000But to add, to serve as a check against Trump, she's outright saying that the DOJ's purpose is to go after a political opponent.
00:48:23.000Well, and if this is what an elected delegate thinks the purpose of these federal agencies are, I think we should get rid of them.
00:48:29.000She's saying we're having these hearings, so you stop thinking that.
00:48:32.000But in this case, I do not like whatever version of this federal authority she has cooked up, right?
00:48:38.000You don't have to like the things she listed.
00:48:43.000To say that there is a specific branch of the government that's tasked with going after what ultimately amounts to being right-leaning ideologies and belief systems and white supremacy, I guess, in this country seems bizarre to me.
00:49:00.000And again, you can see with the term white fragility, there's obviously a coded language here.
00:49:07.000We can tell where this is coming from.
00:49:09.000But I thought the Department of Justice was to bring justice to people who have been victims of crimes, and I thought the FBI was hypothetically to investigate crimes.
00:49:18.000So if not believing what she wants is a crime, I worry for a lot of the country.
00:49:23.000We got to rename some of these departments.
00:49:24.000I think the DOD should probably be the DOO.
00:50:03.000What the left will try to push is that nationalism, or America first, is basically saying at the expense of others, or that we're isolationist, when all it really says is, hey, instead of spending $200 billion on Ukraine, can we fix the pipes in Newark and Pittsburgh and Flint first?
00:50:16.000And then perhaps in Afghanistan and Soviet— Or not Soviet Union.
00:50:21.000Maybe in Japan we can fix their pipes too.
00:50:23.000That's why the saying isn't America only.
00:50:27.000Because, you know, my view is I think we should give all of our disposable income, 100% of it, I want everyone in America to sign on to giving away all of your disposable income to all the impoverished nations of the world.
00:50:41.000You got it. After we secure our borders, fix our roads, rebuild our bridges, secure the jobs for
00:50:47.000the unemployed, fix the colleges, get home prices in order, get our military secure, there should
00:50:53.000be not a single homeless veteran, there should be, you know, veterans should be getting taken
00:50:57.000care of for their medical needs. Once we solve all of our problems and we're all sitting in
00:51:03.000floating chairs and pure luxury and comfort, then we can start giving our money to other countries.
00:51:07.000Usually what happens is they'll come here, people from another country, they'll learn how to do that, and then they'll go there and fix their own problems.
00:51:13.000Because that's better than just tossing money over there or building a pipeline.
00:51:16.000Sometimes, but not really, though, right?
00:51:19.000This idea that, like, people come here and then leave is usually not true, especially if they're like, yeah, this country's bad.
00:51:24.000Sometimes they'll send money back to other countries to help their family members or whatever else, but For the most part, like, people come to the U.S.
00:52:00.000But they're also always warned against being proud of being American and wanting to have a culture that reflects wanting to be a part of it.
00:52:08.000What's the difference between patriotism and nationalism?
00:52:11.000Well, according to my teacher, nationalism is patriotism but too far.
00:52:16.000Okay, well, nationalism is a broad term representing you favor the strengthening of your nation.
00:52:25.000Internationalism would be a combination of ideas such as we should intervene in foreign countries, how they should be doing things, and they should be able to tell us what we should do as well.
00:52:35.000Nationalism is like, look, this is our borders, our jurisdiction, our country.
00:52:38.000We're going to take care of ourselves, focus on ourselves.
00:52:41.000And within nationalist ideologies, you have international treaties and relationships.
00:52:47.000The media tried mocking a lot of the nationalists.
00:52:51.000That were prominent online because they were from different countries and someone said there's an international nationalist movement and they all started saying, haha, you're all so dumb, you're morons.
00:53:00.000And they were like, you don't seem to understand what this means.
00:53:02.000It means that there are varying politicians and activists from various countries who believe in the sovereignty of their nation and the right to self-determination.
00:53:10.000And they agree that Germany has it and the Netherlands have it.
00:53:14.000That's international support for nationalism.
00:53:16.000I guess some of the problem with nationalism is when you become so obsessed with the nation-state
00:53:20.000and the power and sovereignty of the nation itself, it gives away the sovereignty of the
00:53:24.000citizen. In the United States, we're all sovereign, and we have created this united
00:53:28.000form of statehood, and we've created a nation out of it.
00:53:31.000But if you become obsessed with the power of the federal government and you want to give over
00:53:35.000your power to the nation-state, you've lost it at the local level.
00:53:38.000Why don't you ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?
00:53:45.000So the issue was, we used to have more of a sense of duty.
00:53:48.000I'm not going to claim this country was ever perfect, because I don't think any country ever is, but we had more honor and more duty, and now that's being stripped away for a variety of reasons.
00:53:57.000But it's also because of the lack of patriotism in our country, right?
00:53:59.000It's like, to your point, at colleges and universities today all across America, you're demonized for being too patriotic.
00:54:06.000You're not demonized for not being patriotic enough, right?
00:54:09.000Like, you have your teachers saying, oh, nationalism is when you love America too much, which is the most nonsensical thing in the world because I look at the problem and I see, obviously, the problem in our country is that people don't love America enough.
00:54:19.000So much so that they're going on college campuses, actively praising a terrorist organization like Hamas and
00:54:24.000is saying from the river to the sea they don't even know which sea
00:54:26.000they're talking about. Or which river. Right, or which river. They just
00:54:30.000know that they hate America and these people also hate America so they're going to go out and
00:54:34.000chant these nonsensical things and wear you know you know a Palestinian
00:54:38.000flag but also a gay flag even though the gays are thrown off of buildings in
00:54:45.000But it doesn't matter to them because they've been so indoctrinated believing that wokeism is just synonymous with apparently not loving America, which is a truly unfortunate thing because it's like that has forced them to literally take the sides of people who are oppressing the very people they claim to care so much about.
00:55:05.000Well, and I wouldn't think that nationalism in America would have to be obsession with the federal government.
00:55:11.000Like, America's government is set up hypothetically so that states have strong independent governments and can dictate their own laws.
00:55:19.000We have ceded power from the states to the federal government over time, but hypothetically, you can be like, I want to put, you know, America is the best country and I'm for it and I want to strengthen it without having to say, therefore we need a bloated bureaucratic state at the top.
00:55:32.000That's exactly what I'm thinking is that the love of the nation, the love of United States is the love of the way it was created and the ideology of the system, not the bureaucracy itself.
00:55:43.000You don't worship the power structure.
00:55:45.000You worship the reason it was created this way.
00:55:47.000You worship the individual sovereignty and the local governance.
00:57:09.000I still can't believe that they're trying to maintain in the media that it's not true when Chris Rufo already published a video from over a year ago.
00:57:17.000He found a video on social media from over a year ago of migrants in the Congo cooking cats on a grill.
00:57:24.000So whether it's in Springfield or somewhere else, these kind of things happen.
00:57:37.000The cats on the grill video that went viral represents that they're not integrating with American culture and society.
00:57:45.000In the microcosmic metaphor, you'd have like six dudes in a room playing magic cards, and then a guy is let in to the room, and you're like, hey, we're playing magic cards.
00:58:02.000Now there's 10 of us that know how to play magic.
00:58:05.000But what's happening when people are surging across the border is there's six of us in a room playing magic, and then 50 people come into the room.
00:58:35.000It's like they were saying, oh, why are all these foreigners like nationalists or, you know, they're obviously immigrants or whatever.
00:58:41.000It's because they came here and they assimilated.
00:58:42.000They realized that they were now Americans and they were now going to be fighting for the interests of the American people.
00:58:48.000I was told this story by an older family member who said that when she came, she's very old, Italian immigrants, her parents wouldn't teach her how to speak Italian.
00:58:59.000They said, you will learn English and you will be an American.
00:59:02.000And I think Americans appreciate it, and they like that.
00:59:04.000Legal immigration, economically viable, the people can come here and learn, they can get jobs, they can fill these roles at factories and where jobs are needed, but they try to fit in and respect what we have and what we built.
00:59:25.000But it's, you know, you and your friends are playing a board game and 50 people come in with beers and they're screaming and yelling and they're shaking beers all over the place.
00:59:34.000You're like, guys, we were having a quiet game night and now you're screaming.
00:59:43.000Let's jump to the story from the New York Times.
00:59:46.000Alex Jones's Info Wars will be auctioned off to pay Sandy Hook families.
00:59:51.000It's interesting because there's different families in different suits.
00:59:54.000One group out of Texas wanted to keep garnishing the revenue of InfoWars so they'd make money, and the Connecticut family said, nope, sell it all off, shut it down.
01:00:06.000And now they're actually fighting amongst each other, I guess according to the New York Times, as to how they're going to divvy up the money.
01:00:11.000But the reports are, come November, InfoWars is done.
01:00:47.000What about buying it and giving it to a trust that you set up?
01:00:50.000No, the scenario that I imagine happening, of which I imagine it's going to be some 20-year-old kid with an LLC and no net worth, will start a company and then he'll film Alex Jones on his phone.
01:01:01.000That's what's going to happen after the sale is Alex will just keep going.
01:01:04.000And all Rob do and everybody involved with the company, they'll just keep going and keep making stuff.
01:01:08.000I've heard part of it is that they're trying to go after his personal social media account too.
01:01:32.000I could understand how that's business affiliated, but if he created one for himself a long time ago, how can you suddenly say, this is business property so therefore we must sell it?
01:03:07.000They're destroying a company and all of the associated jobs and all of the contract work that goes along with it because of what one person did.
01:03:14.000Some guy did damage to these families and now they're going to do damage to all these other families in response.
01:03:21.000Do you need retribution or do you just want this resolved?
01:03:24.000There's a janitor right now going, why am I getting fired?
01:03:27.000It's like, well, because Alex Jones said things that this family found damaging and they sued him, and now because Alex Jones is paying personally and business-wise, you don't get to have a job anymore.
01:04:05.000So going after the company itself to end the jobs of, like I mentioned, some of these people who work there are just security guards or janitors.
01:04:13.000Why are they going to lose their jobs over this?
01:04:15.000If you've got a problem with it, I mean, Alex Jones said the liability should be on Alex Jones.
01:04:21.000This is what bankruptcy protection was supposed to be for, but they denied it.
01:04:29.000You're a contractor who doesn't work for InfoWars, but you've got a monthly contract to check the lights and make sure the electricity is working, and now you're going to your wife and being like, we're not going to be able to make the bills this month, I've got to find some new clients.
01:05:17.000So there's going to be some kind of like restructuring or payment plan.
01:05:21.000Instead, they're like, nah, just burn it all down.
01:05:23.000And again, I think this has to do like when we talk about the people who will lose for like not not even just the host, but you're totally right that the janitors, a security guard, like whoever works there, and that is just their job.
01:05:36.000They'll pay the price for this, but I think there are factions of both, you know, the government and sort of the people who are against Jones who said, well, you shouldn't, you deserve this too, because you shouldn't work for someone like that.
01:05:45.000He is so bad that anyone affiliated with him deserves to suffer.
01:05:49.000And that's the level of, to me, that rises to political persecution that is unwarranted.
01:05:55.000I mean, there are people who will pay the consequences for something that they did not have anything to do with other than they eventually worked for the same company.
01:06:02.000Dude, reparations is not that you go burn the arsonist's house down.
01:06:07.000He pays retribution for burning the house down.
01:06:11.000He might serve prison time if he serves his sentence.
01:06:13.000You don't go and destroy his property.
01:06:17.000Maybe there's arguments that you seize the property?
01:06:23.000It does seem strange, too, that there was so much money and it was like, OK, well, then if you want that much money, then you should probably keep the business open so it can generate revenue to pay that off.
01:06:32.000And it said they obviously had something else in mind.
01:06:34.000They were like, no, destroy company, sell.
01:06:37.000To me, it seems like they're obviously never going to get the amount that the court ordered him to pay.
01:06:43.000It sounds, I don't know, it sounds personal that they want to harm him.
01:06:47.000And that's really not the purpose of the settlement is to harm the guy.
01:06:50.000It's for him to repair what he's done.
01:06:56.000It's like you also have to be destroyed.
01:06:58.000That's the only way we'll feel better about this.
01:06:59.000That's just not the way the legal system works in the United States.
01:07:02.000I don't think it should be how it works.
01:07:03.000But you know, I can't say that that is not how people feel about it.
01:07:07.000I think it shows the ruthlessness of the left, too, and I think it really speaks to the stakes of this election.
01:07:12.000You know, if we do not win this election in November, if Donald Trump is not re-elected and returns to the White House, I think there is a very real chance that conservatives in this country become second-class citizens.
01:07:45.000That's my position these days, because we have seen that the left knows that we will not fight back against them on their own terms, on their own turf, and because of that, that is why they do things like this.
01:07:56.000That is why they, you know, criminalize, you know, free speech.
01:07:59.000It's why they kick people off of X, and all these things are attempted to in a previous time.
01:08:04.000It's why they attack people's livelihoods for simply vocalizing viewpoints that they disagree with because they know that we won't fight back with the same zeal and passion that they do.
01:08:23.000If you're literally at war, if they're using dirty, evil, destructive tactics, you have to become more evil, dirty, and destructive to survive.
01:08:31.000But in civil reality, you're supposed to overcome.
01:08:35.000But is it civil anymore, do you think?
01:08:54.000I think it's really hard because I get what you're saying, and I do think that there is a level of, like, there needs to be a little more fire and creativity in how the, you know, conservative aspects of the country respond to the attacks.
01:09:07.000On the other hand, you know, I fear a race to the bottom, and I think ultimately we want a unified country that is Strong and so to me that that it's so much it's hard because you need this cultural shift.
01:09:21.000You need people who don't you know, who would say I'll never vote Republican and you know, they are the people who leave the Thanksgiving table.
01:09:28.000They don't want to talk to them to come to a realization that the weaponization of the legal system against one bent of ideology meaning more conservative.
01:10:05.000And in response, there's no sort of offense is coming from.
01:10:09.000Yeah, you can sort of, if someone's trying to undermine you, you can go around it rather than go under them.
01:10:15.000So there are ways to alter the system by behaving in a way, unforeseen, that kind of bypasses their attempt to play dirty, where it's like they're undermining something that they thought was there, but by the time they dig under the walls, you've settled in a different location, and they come up and they're like, where's the guy we're trying to harm?
01:10:36.000It's a way of focusing energy that might be more valuable and might end up bringing more community to a healthier place.
01:10:45.000I'm curious to see, because I think, to your point, for them to actually, I think, come to the realization that they don't want it to get that bad, first, I think it unfortunately has to get that bad, right?
01:10:57.000It has to be like, okay, we don't want to be treated the way that we've treated them.
01:11:03.000I think that we have to get to that point before we can get to the point and the reality that I think we all want to live in is to your point where we can be united.
01:11:10.000But I think that there is too many people on their side right now, unfortunately, who don't want unity.
01:11:14.000I think to the poll that Tim cited earlier about how 28% of the country believe that, or 28% of Democrats believe that Trump should be dead is emblematic of that.
01:11:48.000Sometimes it comes out on a day of the week when people are just feeling hot because it's something- And I've heard pollsters refute this saying, well like, oh no, it's actually- 1,000 registered voters.
01:11:56.000I mean, I think one of the challenges is the fact that this is a conversation people are having at all, right?
01:12:02.000Like, there was a time in America where You know, we would get these polls that said they would rather their kids marry someone of a different political party than of a different religion, right?
01:12:13.000There were things outside of politics that gave us identity and purpose and values that kind of helped weave American culture as broad as it is together.
01:12:23.000And now I think you see, number one, People are not as religious and they are not really participating in other social groups.
01:12:30.000You know, people don't – this is famous, like people don't go to bowling leagues or book clubs.
01:12:34.000There's like – volunteerism is down.
01:12:36.000But on top of that, people look at their political identity as the be-all and end-all of anything and it's a litmus test for how you view your neighbors, right?
01:12:44.000Like if your neighbor is Republican and you're progressive, then they want to harm you.
01:12:54.000And ultimately, at one point, political parties had the objective, like, had the goal of being like, here is our common values as Americans.
01:13:36.000And so the pressure is building, therefore things are moving faster within the system and the thoughts are moving quicker.
01:13:43.000So if some people have little disagreements, they move very quickly.
01:13:47.000Do you think it's economic pressure or do you think it's the 24-hour news cycle?
01:13:51.000I'm wondering, that's what I was wondering, is it a combination of the economics speeding people's thoughts up and making them like very, very, very, and then the news comes in and just little, like if you're driving really fast, really fast on the road and you turn the wheel a little, the car goes crazy to the left because you're going so fast.
01:14:06.000If you're going slow, you barely move and you have time to readjust.
01:14:10.000So the media comes in, the media, certain media organizations will come in and just tweak people's thoughts.
01:14:16.000But because everyone's pressurized from the economic burden, which I do think is a big part of it, is the economic problem right now, their thoughts go crazy sideways.
01:15:53.000Because he'd have to wear the same outfit and the pants and pull them up.
01:15:55.000They were like, yeah, you can work here.
01:15:57.000And he was like, I don't want to work here.
01:16:00.000So, you know, I'm half-kidding bringing this up, but this is big news.
01:16:03.000A major chain is suffering in massive debt, and they're looking at—they've already shuttered 40 locations, and now they may shut down many, many more.
01:17:20.000So to sit there and look in our faces and play us like we're dumb and say,
01:17:24.000everything's good, the economy is stronger than it's ever been before,
01:17:28.000stronger than it was under Donald Trump is just frankly insulting.
01:17:31.000And I think demeaning to the intelligence of the American people, but also to it's like the these like things that they are doing to create this facade, like, you know, lowering and cutting interest rates right before the election to give this impression that inflation is going down, the economy is on the resurgence.
01:17:47.000It is truly, I think it really goes to show how they see, you know, the intelligence, and then how they view a majority of the American people.
01:19:21.000Or you have someone who won't give you very many specifics and who is part of the current problem and who sort of goes back and forth between we've accomplished so much.
01:19:30.000I won't say that I'm part of this administration, but also I'm gonna make everything better because I'm changing the underdog.
01:19:35.000I mean, to me, that is gaslighting still, and I don't want another four years to go.
01:19:40.000Yeah, you need a leader that is inspiring people and giving them hope with a plan, a real plan, that's saying, it's gonna be okay and here's why.
01:19:46.000You need that, otherwise people are all gonna fucking destroy themselves.
01:19:50.000Like, you need hope, but you don't want a gaslighter that's just telling you it's okay when it's not.
01:19:55.000And I think Tim Walz, you know, he may not tell the truth about a lot of things, including his military service and the name of his dog, but he told the truth.
01:21:09.000She is- Or to make him look more white to subdue her blackness, which...
01:21:14.000Isn't that an acceptance of racism in that case?
01:21:17.000Acknowledging that, oh, our candidate's too black, which, you know, jury's out on that one according to Janet Jackson, but our candidate's too black, so we need to make him look extra white to make her more palatable to the American people.
01:21:30.000JetGPT says the rough estimate for how many died during the, what do they call it, the age of exploration over spice routes was in the tens of thousands.
01:23:10.000And I just, I think that this is like an ode to what we would have in the future.
01:23:16.000I mean, it's a really divisive racial way of looking at the world.
01:23:19.000And look, if that's your thing, I'm glad you're being honest about it, but I don't think that that's how Americans want to evaluate their neighbors, right?
01:23:28.000Like, I don't think that they want to be like, well, I'm going to judge you by goofy stereotypes and you should play to them so I feel comfortable.
01:24:46.000He's this, this like masculine football coach.
01:24:48.000So he's going to get all the young men to vote for him when it turns out he wasn't actually a football, like he wasn't a head football coach.
01:25:17.000It's unclear what the charge or charges are that he will face.
01:25:21.000Retired police captain Mr. Adams was elected to the city's 110th mayor nearly three years ago, this we know.
01:25:27.000Do we know anything about these indictments?
01:25:28.000Because they were going after... They've gone after him for a couple different things.
01:25:31.000So one is campaign finance, there's an investigation in that.
01:25:34.000And then they're also investigating him, and I can't remember if it was exactly the same thing, for like potentially taking money from Turkey, but at least I believe five of his top officials have resigned in the past, you know, couple months.
01:25:46.000Today, I think it was the head of the Commissioner of Schools, and then last week it was the head of the NYPD.
01:25:53.000And so there's obviously something going on here.
01:25:56.000I go back and forth because I do think, you know, there's corruption, right?
01:26:00.000I think that there are people who take money in nefarious ways.
01:26:03.000I mean, there's a reason Bob Menendez was on trial, but also Eric Adam has pushed back against the Biden administration so hard, especially when it came to the impact of illegal immigration.
01:26:12.000He was constantly like, you are not doing enough.
01:26:15.000And so it becomes this thing where I think there could be corruption.
01:26:19.000On the other hand, I do believe he's someone who doesn't have any pull with the federal government right now.
01:26:42.000I've been keeping up with it because like Eric Adams has always been such a meme in my head because of the fact that he is crazy.
01:26:47.000He is so known for going out and NYC nightlife, partying until the end of the night.
01:26:52.000And it's just He was like, veganism cured my diabetes.
01:26:54.000Yeah, and then he said, you know, I'm the mayor of a city with a lot of nightlife, so I gotta go, and this is a quote, I need to go test the product.
01:27:02.000And so ever since then, I've just been, yeah.
01:27:05.000So they were attacking him for going out until like 3am, going to all the clubs and the bars.
01:27:09.000And he's like, well, you know, I have a city with great nightlife, I gotta go test the product.
01:27:12.000And ever since then, I've just been absolutely enamored with Eric Adams.
01:27:16.000But yeah, he has so many people in his circle.
01:27:18.000Is this one of the things against him?
01:27:19.000Let's listen to what, I want to show you what she said.
01:27:21.000Quote, I do not see how Mayor Adams can continue governing New York City.
01:27:25.000Ocasio-Cortez said in a post on social media, the flood of resignations and vacancies are threatening government function.
01:27:30.000Nonstop investigations will make it impossible to recruit and retain a qualified administration.
01:27:35.000For the good of the city, he should resign.
01:27:45.000I don't know if that's on the... if YouTube lost their image, too, or not, but can you kind of... can you explain what you just read again?
01:27:52.000I want to... right behind you, that monitor dropped.
01:27:55.000Say that again, but just... I don't want to make you read all that again.
01:27:57.000She said the nonstop investigations make it impossible.
01:28:01.000That means if there is a city official or county official or state official who defies federal government.
01:28:08.000They need only investigate them to the point where the government shuts down and they force this person to resign.
01:28:20.000He's really, you know, he should not be president because this has to be his main focus and he can't govern effectively.
01:28:27.000I mean, one of the, so, and it could be wrong.
01:28:29.000So the thing about the Ericsson case is like, it's not my main beat, but I check in on it pretty regularly because it definitely had this air, this air of escalations.
01:28:37.000I remember when the police commissioner resigned, there was this argument that it was involved
01:28:41.000with influence peddling because his brother is involved in a nightclub business, and I'm
01:28:48.000not sure to what extent, but that they were given some sort of preferential treatment,
01:28:51.000that the government was making certain deals with them.
01:28:55.000So again, it's not exactly the same, and I don't want to just be like innocent until
01:29:22.000It seems like they were trying to find the crime because, like, you're right, there's so many probes.
01:29:25.000There's the one involving the NYPD commissioner, which has to deal with, you know, like, you know, if a club got a citation for staying open too late, apparently they would pay the brother who would then get his police commissioner brother to, you know, stand down.
01:29:38.000And then there is, of course, the campaign finance probe where they're alleging that he was being illegally funded by like Turkish businessmen.
01:29:45.000And then they expanded the probe, I believe yesterday, to include five other countries.
01:29:49.000So it's just kind of like they were in search of a crime, more so than actually looking for anything.
01:29:54.000But I'm curious to read the indictment when it's unsealed.
01:29:57.000But I think the undercurrent of the story that's really interesting is that this might be the return of Andrew Cuomo, who has been actually weighing a run for mayor of New York City in the event that Eric Adams were to resign.
01:30:08.000He's gonna be like, that guy is way worse than I was.
01:30:11.000Look, there are a lot of Cuomo-sexuals who want to see him come back, and they'll vote for him.
01:31:39.000I just I have no idea what to make of this because I feel like kind of notoriously big cities are corrupt and so there's a level of like maybe some stuff but also like why is Eric Adams such a target is this you know again is Cuomo supporters want him back in office or is this actually a case where this is a bad it's it's impossible wrap your minds around and again and again like Eric Adams has done He's just such a personality.
01:32:07.000Like, do you remember his video about, like, searching kids' rooms for drugs?
01:32:14.000He has done so many weird- There was one press conference where, like, something went on with, like, the city garbage unit and he was like, Wheeling a garbage can to the curb?
01:32:55.000I think this is one of the more interesting cases and again I think there is Maybe – it's so hard to wrap your mind around it, but maybe there is a level of using this as an example to say, like, no, look, we go after Democrats, too.
01:33:13.000I mean, he is the Democratic mayor of, what, America's largest city?
01:33:34.000That seems simplistic, but... But the commonality among the Democrats they seem to go after are people who have been critical of Biden's administration or his handling of certain things.
01:33:43.000Even Menendez was critical of the Biden administration at certain points, you know, relating to foreign policy.
01:33:48.000You know, Eric Adams, as you said, you know, when it came to immigration, he was definitely a critic there.
01:34:26.000The thing is, this guy was like gold bars in the closet and then also was like, I have all this cash because in immigrant communities, you want to be like, I think you are maybe lying.
01:35:19.000And I think it's interesting though, that we're seeing such an aggressive investigation and aggressive, aggressive indictment of Eric Adams when it took them how long to put Diddy behind, you know, bars.
01:36:27.000Alright everybody, we're gonna go to Super Chats, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with each and every one of your friends, one by one go.
01:36:35.000It's the best show, everyone agrees, at least that's what I was told.
01:36:39.000Head over to TimCast.com, click join us or sign up to become a member.
01:36:51.000And so if you would like to support the work that we do in general, TimCast.com, you become a member, you'll get access to that uncensored show coming up at 10pm.
01:37:00.000But there's not much more news in that regard.
01:37:07.000You can find it on Google, you can read the stories about it, you can read the whole filing that we submitted, and we may get an update very soon, but just for those that were wondering, that's where we're currently at.
01:37:17.000I can't say much more, it's from my lawyer, but I did do an interview with the Daily Signal about this, and it's interesting if you guys want to Google that as well.
01:37:23.000Alright, The Clayway says, number one, indeed sir, you're first.
01:37:27.000He says, Tim, you're the best, I listen to...
01:37:41.000Matthew Emmons says, did Tim get caught up in the Gell-Mann amnesia effect with the Marcellus Williams Missouri case?
01:37:47.000The victim's purse was in his car and he sold her laptop.
01:37:50.000No, sir, I would suggest that perhaps you are caught up in the Gell-Mann amnesia effect because it also was reported That there was a $10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the individual.
01:38:02.000And the challenge is, there was a cellmate who claimed he bragged about the murder, and his ex-girlfriend said that he had the jacket and he had the things in his car, but they were financially incentivized to do it.
01:38:15.000The question then becomes, if you believe this man is evil enough to murder someone, do you not also believe it's possible that someone else would be evil enough to lie about someone being a murderer for $10,000?
01:38:25.000So if someone's evil enough to murder for a purse, would someone else be evil enough to murder for $10,000?
01:38:32.000I'm just saying the family had come to an agreement to reduce the sentence to life with that possibility of parole, and the state said, no, we're going to execute.
01:38:46.000I disagree with the execution, I suppose.
01:38:48.000There are four other executions scheduled for this week in different states across America.
01:38:53.000One involves, if you guys are interested in this and want to read up on cases and debate the death penalty to yourself, which I think is a really important exercise, you should look at Robert, his name is Robert Robertson's case.
01:39:05.000He was convicted of murdering his daughter via shaken baby syndrome.
01:39:09.000But people, there's controversy around it, so check it out.
01:39:11.000He's getting the death penalty for that?
01:39:15.000I thought the death penalty was just for like if you're like tortured and it was like egregious murders.
01:39:19.000I think if you murder your own child with shaken baby syndrome, people are pretty against it.
01:39:22.000No, but right, but death penalty is for when you've committed a crime so serious that you're a threat to others, you cannot reasonably be imprisoned.
01:39:34.000That one is, I think that one's Texas.
01:39:37.000Like the Marcellus Williams, because I get, he had other felonies for burglaries, and he was convicted of stabbing a woman 43 times.
01:39:44.000That's like a heinously, insanely brutal thing to do, where the argument legally is, we don't think this person will be safe to be around for anybody, so this warrants the death penalty.
01:40:25.000I think the prosecutor, because they handled it without gloves, presuming that the case was over, and Williams was accused of wearing gloves when he committed the murder anyway, which would make sense.
01:40:35.000So there wouldn't have been his DNA on the weapon.
01:40:46.000The question is, if the family said they wanted life without possibility of parole, then why not just be like, okay, you know, in the interest of justice, the families have decided this is what they want to do.
01:40:56.000Many people responded with, victims have no say in what justice is.
01:41:01.000And, well, you know, opinions are opinions.
01:41:06.000Jay Redd says, everyone seems to have glossed over the Secret Service text saying, looks like someone followed our lead as crooks entered from the Secret Service parking lot.
01:42:00.000Unfortunately, the server was a little slow, so I think we're going to upgrade the server so that Horde Night's smooth, but man, it was so fun.
01:42:06.000So you guys, get in the TimCast Discord, get in the gaming servers.
01:42:59.000It doesn't actually say gambling, it says wagering money on a card game for which you can win prizes of cash value or cash equivalent is illegal.
01:43:10.000Anyone who does these things is guilty of a misdemeanor.
01:43:16.000If you want to play social poker, there's a difference between table game poker at a casino, like three-card poker, four-card poker, you know, what have you got, ultimate hold'em?
01:43:46.000So in order to play poker in the state of West Virginia, you got to go to one of five Uh, hotels.
01:43:53.000In fact, one of them doesn't even have a poker room anymore, so there's like three or four places in West Virginia you can legally play poker.
01:44:00.000Magic and Pokemon at, like, a thousand different locations.
01:44:04.000A child can walk into a shop where they will host a card game, as defined under the law as illegal, give $20 to the man, wagering money, to play a card game in the hopes to win cash prizes or cash equivalent prizes.
01:44:20.000That is illegal under West Virginia law.
01:44:23.000Now the argument is, collectible card games are exempt.
01:44:27.000Which is not really an argument, that's just what the Lottery Commission told me.
01:44:30.000And I said, why is a child allowed to wager money on a card game to win cash, but I as an adult can't play poker unless I'm in a regulated West Virginia State Lottery location?
01:44:43.000And they said, collectible card games are exempt.
01:44:46.000So, uh, we are going to sue, and they're either going to have to ban Pokemon, or they're going to have to legalize social poker.
01:45:44.000Yeah, because ultimately, I think about, like, Slay the Spire, turn-based strategy games may be in the guise of cards, they may be in the guise of papers that you draw, they may be in the guise of chips that you toss in the air and they land on the table, they might be in the guise of dice that you roll.
01:45:58.000Like, turn-based strategy can exist in a lot of forms.
01:46:06.000If you go to a casino and you sit down at a blackjack table, you can ask the dealer what you're supposed to do because the basic rules, the basic strategy is on a little card they could hand you and you can look at.
01:47:02.000So we want to do poker with the boys where Friday nights we play a game of poker, probably a couple hundred bucks per person to buy in to make it an actual low stakes game.
01:47:09.000That's what low stakes is, between $100 and $400.
01:47:11.000Not the crazy games you see with the millionaires or anything like that, but it's illegal in West Virginia.
01:47:43.000It will be, I think, very fun to litigate.
01:47:45.000And, you know, I think it would be very weird and hilarious if West Virginia announces... Could you imagine what the conversation would be nationally if they're like, Pokemon cards are banned in West Virginia?
01:47:59.000No, I think whoever's in office will get impeached and removed because every single 12-year-old will be screaming and the parents are going to be like, what just happened?
01:48:10.000And they're going to be calling, being like, why are my kids freaking out?
01:48:22.000I talked to the Lottery Commission and the AG about this.
01:48:25.000If I make a game called Magical Wizard Quest...
01:48:29.000Which is four elements and 13 of each element, and you have to combine the different cards to cast a spell, and every wizard has to put their mana in the middle, and the winner gets all the mana.
01:48:41.000We're just describing poker, but if I use it in those terms, it's legal now.
01:49:13.000We'll grab some more Super Chats here.
01:49:14.000All right, H Badger says, further in the Timcast viewer tradition, I've been a longtime listener and currently in the hospital welcoming our second child to the world.
01:50:02.000We're coming up to the election, and I was like, probably makes sense, but, you know, I'd like to do the morning streams just because I enjoy doing them.
01:50:23.000It is good to get away from the machine to like just get your body healthy and get traction, social traction, and then come back to the machine with like fervor and vigor.
01:51:40.000On Twitter, I think a post on Twitter with a link in it, an external link,
01:51:45.000it's downregulated in the algorithm. So if there's a way to tweet it out without the link,
01:51:49.000and then the first comment in the thread is the link to the show, you'll get way more traction.
01:51:53.000When we tried multistreaming, the problem with multistreaming was that
01:51:57.000it created a desynchronized the start of the show. And so what happened is we're like,
01:52:04.000we have this debate coming up. We're going to do the multistream for it because we don't want to
01:52:08.000get taken down. And it worked really, really well. Rumble kept crashing, no disrespect. We love
01:52:11.000Rumble. And they worked on it. They fixed it. The problem was the next time we tried going
01:52:15.000multistream, you YouTube was ready to go, we hit our call time, and X and Rumble hadn't ingested the stream at the same amount of time, so YouTube was faster.
01:52:26.000Then Rumble lit up, then X lit up, and so we have to wait till they're all live to hit the Go Live button, because it's one button.
01:52:32.000One button activates all of them, but they have to ingest the stream first.
01:52:38.000I use Streamlabs, and I go live on YouTube, Twitter... But do you wait in the beginning?
01:52:44.000Twitch is a good platform for this show too.
01:52:46.000We'll get banned in two seconds, dude.
01:53:19.000What about the... It says TimCast, you know, and here's the promo, and then we have to wait till they're all loaded so we know we can press go.
01:53:25.000Isn't there the TimCast IRL, like, lead-in monitor screen for, like, 20 seconds, and then we start talking?
01:53:31.000So we have a delay, then there's, like, five seconds beyond that, and the problem is, if it's not ingesting the stream, we cannot press live.
01:53:40.000We gotta get a theme song that plays in the beginning.
01:54:21.0002300gearjammer says it should be renamed the Department of Offense and all high-ranking officials should be required to announce themselves by saying, I'm a huge piece of do.
01:55:20.000So I agree it did, in retrospect, give us hope that he survived in the face, but like, it's not a good replicatable thing for a president to do if he gets shot out on stage from an unknown assailant.
01:55:53.000I'll tell you this, maybe Trump could have dropped down and then just feigned injury so they carried him out because then the news would have been insane.
01:56:01.000Maybe, you know, I was talking about this.
01:56:41.000I wonder, if Donald Trump stayed down and Secret Service lifted him up and actually carried him out, and people thought that he might have lost his life, every television station in the country would have switched to breaking news, because they would have feared that he actually died.
01:56:57.000The problem would have been, I think, after that, when people realized the injury was just, like, to his ear, the media would have made that such a- Exactly.
01:57:04.000They would have said, what a weak- he got grazed in the ear and he collapses and faints, are you kidding me?
01:57:09.000I mean, do you remember the debate over at the RNC where they were like, does his bandage have to be that big?
01:57:14.000They don't think any reason to think Trump is being dramatic.
01:57:18.000Trump could have just laid low for a few weeks and said that the injury ended up being superficial and, you know, or something.
01:57:26.000Well, let's grab a couple more Super Chats.
01:57:28.000Kyle Pickett says, Ian, please use your weather powers to help pray for the Floridians and others that are about to face the wrath of Mother Nature.
01:57:35.000I'm one, and I'm staying on the coast in the Florida Panhandle.
01:58:59.000Parallel economy is our principal financial mechanism for your transactions.
01:59:03.000Parallel economy, of course, is associated with Rumble and Dan Bongino.
01:59:08.000It is an alternate financial transaction system so we can get away from the cancel culture machine and build up our own resilient institutions.
01:59:14.000So, there are fees in all these transactions.
01:59:19.000When you become a member, not only Are you helping support our work?
01:59:23.000But we actually pay for that service, which means portions of the money that you pay actually help Dan Bongino and Rumble's financial services company, which is helping build the parallel economy.
01:59:34.000You're basically buying more than just Timcast.
01:59:36.000You're actually buying the financial services.
01:59:38.000So we try to make sure that everything we're using, we're on a Rumble cloud.
01:59:43.000We're trying to make sure that we're supporting the infrastructure and the ecosystem outside of the cancel culture institutions to the best of our abilities.
01:59:49.000So consider becoming a member at TimCast.com for the general support across the board.
02:00:03.000Ten bucks is the membership, but you can always choose more because we have like the $25, the silver membership where you get a special VIP room and If you sign up for $25, you can instantly submit questions to join the members-only show.
02:00:16.000Whereas at $10, there's a six-month wait period.
02:00:19.000We have to do that because we had weirdos causing problems.
02:00:22.000And so there's gotta be some kind of gate, either time or money.
02:00:25.000And we decided to do both because I felt like some people are like, I ain't waiting six months, I'm not gonna join.
02:00:30.000Some people are like, $25, you're crazy.
02:00:43.000The purpose of that, admittedly, is more privy to access to the inner workings.
02:00:48.000Um, you know, people come and hang out sometimes, but it was mostly because we want to set up a physical hangout space in Martinsburg.
02:00:55.000And the hundred bucks a month is like, it's a private club.
02:00:57.000You come in, you scan, you get, you get a key fob and you go beep and you walk in and then you're hanging out with the boys sharing ideas and you have this private space to hang out in.
02:01:04.000So we do have the elite club, but we're still trying to get this building set up.
02:01:08.000We thought it was going to be done in June and it's taken forever.
02:01:11.000So, that's the plan there, but you can sign up for whatever you want.
02:01:14.000TimCast.com, you click sign up, ten bucks a month, and then there's a thing to explain how to join the Discord server and get involved in all that stuff, which we're going to go do now, so smash that like button, subscribe, share the show, everybody just share it all the time, just take the URL, post it everywhere, it really, really does help.
02:01:29.000You can follow me on Axe at TimCast, you can follow me on Instagram as well at TimCast, and you can follow at TimCastIRL on Instagram.
02:01:37.000CJ, do you want to shout anything out?
