On this weekend's show, we're talking about mail-in voting restrictions and what they mean for the 2020 mid-term election, and how they could affect the outcome of the election. Plus, we discuss the impact of the Biden administration's COVID emergency declaration and how that could affect next year's election.
00:00:00.000Welcome to our special weekend show, Sunday Uncensored.
00:00:04.000Every week we produce four uncensored episodes of the TimCast IRL podcast exclusively at TimCast.com, and we're going to bring you the most important for our weekend show.
00:00:15.000If you want to check out more segments just like this, become a member at TimCast.com.
00:01:03.000Yeah, the COVID emergency declaration.
00:01:04.000So, like, the states that allow—there are, you know, this, again, this 2020 list—there are states that allowed people to mail in their ballots because it was COVID.
00:01:15.000You didn't really have to explain anything other than that.
00:01:16.000They just allowed everyone to have access and There's also additional funding that have gone out to states that have to, Neil Rupp is telling me that they have to spend by May 11th, otherwise they have to send it back.
00:01:26.000So there are different factors at play even though it doesn't feel like we're living in COVID anymore.
00:01:47.000But in terms of how it could affect the election, we have these restrictions that are in place that really can't go away until we end it nationally, which can you even believe that we still have this declaration in place?
00:02:13.000So he's got to get a grip on this thing.
00:02:15.000But many of these states still have all these millions upon millions of dollars, unspent money, that have been sent to these individual states that haven't spent it yet.
00:02:26.000So if he declares this thing, whether we have no COVID, they haven't spent that money, that money needs to go back into the Treasury.
00:02:33.000Why in the hell are they allowing to keep it?
00:02:35.000It needs to go back into the Treasury to reduce some of our debt.
00:02:40.000I just can't understand how after all of this time, we even have these orders in place.
00:02:45.000It just seems like such federal overreach to me.
00:02:47.000I get it that there are some state governments that are like, no, we don't want it to be over.
00:03:23.000They say, after years of claiming mail-in voting is rife with fraud, some Republicans, including Trump, are working to reverse course ahead of next year's consequential election.
00:03:40.000Trump now waging his third White House bid, told attendees at CPAC, it's time to change our thinking on early and mail-in voting.
00:03:47.000And in speeches and fundraising emails, he's touting his campaign's plans to encourage ballot harvesting, the practice of allowing third parties to collect and turn in other voters' ballots.
00:03:57.000His party, he said, has no choice but to beat Democrats at their own game.
00:04:01.000It's a stark reversal for a politician who last November issued an all-caps declaration.
00:04:05.000You can never have free and fair elections with mail-in ballots.
00:04:28.000Because if they don't, they're literally giving the election away.
00:04:33.000There's no way that you can compete if your opponents are literally going to people's homes to collect their ballots.
00:04:44.000Especially when the people that they're collecting them from, if you're going to someone's home, they are not knowledgeable about what they're voting for.
00:04:52.000Yeah, Phil, there have been many published studies that talk about when you start sending ballots, especially universal ballots, to people's homes that there's going to be a higher propensity for fraud and people Filling out other people's ballots, people getting two or three ballots, people that move.
00:05:19.000And what you saw in that 2020 election under that COVID is that these states started sending out secretaries of states.
00:05:26.000Sending ballots to everybody because they're their definition they felt they had the authority to do it because of the national declaration the emergency declaration and that's how That's how that election in my in my humble opinion was was was taken away from Donald Trump, but here nor there I think that Donald Trump is in the right track.
00:05:45.000He is the leader of our party and I hope many of the decision makers And the RNC and others have taken heed to his warning that if we don't start playing at their level and get down into the dirt with them, unfortunately, that's what you have to do.
00:06:02.000I mean, am I am I encouraging now the Republicans got to be better cheaters to win elections?
00:06:08.000I'm not saying that, but we got to get into the dirt with them, certainly, because if not, our country's lost.
00:06:16.000I'm looking at this list from the National Conference of State Legislatures and it has, you know, states that have designations because there are times where they say, you know, if you're physically unable to make it to the polling place, like, how do you cast your vote?
00:06:28.000You shouldn't be excluded from the voting process.
00:06:31.000And so, you know, in those cases, some states have rules saying your spouse or a family member or someone that you have written, you have written a, as a, written in I can't talk right now, have indicated in writing is your designee can take your ballot in.
00:06:47.000But there are other states, I counted, you know, I don't want to speak without being able to completely research it, but on this list there's at least 11 that are sort of saying anyone, like you could give your ballot to anyone and they could turn it in for you.
00:06:58.000And that starts to get sort of gray area and sketchy.
00:07:02.000There's no way to ensure that that ballot gets Properly turned in.
00:07:06.000I mean I really don't understand, it seems so basic to me, like why isn't election day a national holiday?
00:07:13.000That seems obvious and yet I feel like no one's progressing forward.
00:07:17.000Anna, you gave me the list of automatic ballots, nine states in 2020.
00:07:22.000You listed them Vermont, Nevada, D.C., California, New Jersey.
00:08:15.000H5N1, they were doing gain-of-function research on it to make it transmissible among mammals.
00:08:19.000A couple weeks ago, a bunch of, I think, was it sea lions contracted bird flu?
00:08:26.000The summer is all sunshine, smiles, and road trips.

00:09:30.000You know what concerns me about the way this government and Fauci, the way we handle COVID is that, you know, number one, the American people, they don't trust their government.
00:09:41.000You see a train derailment in East Palestine.
00:09:43.000We got Also, it's a conspiracy theories going on up there and everything and so they don't trust the government and that's a scary thought because I mean Tim God forbid a real another serious Pandemic another virus come upon this great country of ours.
00:09:59.000How many people in this country are gonna say no to They don't care how dangerous it is.
00:10:06.000The government could get up there and say that this one here is three times as dangerous as coronavirus, this and that, and there are people that are not going to take it because they don't trust their government.
00:10:19.000And that's the scary thought is in the future, the way we handle the coronavirus.
00:10:24.000What are the American people going to do?
00:10:25.000What is this country going to do if something serious comes upon us in the future?
00:10:29.000It'll take people dying in the streets like the early videos that you saw of COVID from China.
00:10:36.000This is where people were keeling over in the streets.
00:10:38.000It'll take people doing that here in the States for like a while before people are like, okay, maybe it's serious.
00:10:45.000You know, it'll take that kind of, that kind of shock.
00:10:49.000event for people to be like, oh yeah, I guess it's worth risking. And they won't, they still won't be
00:10:55.000like, oh I trust the government. It'll be like, well it's worth the risk because the alternative
00:11:00.000is significantly worse. That's scary to say, but that's probably the situation that we're in.
00:11:06.000It's going to take something worse to make people, you know.
00:11:09.000Well I was, I asked, I don't know, have you, I don't know if you're comfortable talking about
00:11:22.000I felt actually, I didn't think it was right, because all of a sudden, as a member of Congress, we're getting it before most other people get it.
00:11:28.000I felt it was somewhat entitled there.
00:12:58.000I had the CEO of Pfizer over the development in the R&D of this and had a great frank conversation with him and I said, You know, you develop something like this so quickly when it usually takes years.
00:13:22.000I mean, I didn't expect him to say, yeah, we screwed this up and should have never done it.
00:13:26.000But I just, I had an opportunity, I felt better after I had a conversation with him.
00:13:32.000I mean, these were some very, very smart guys.
00:13:34.000They have a lab outside of New York and it's a, I forget, but it's like a level three lab.
00:13:39.000I mean, they got well over a thousand people in there and they're doing all sorts of stuff in this lab to try to find a vaccine for the coronavirus.
00:13:48.000I mean, but it, The sad part about it is that half of the American people, maybe not even half, don't trust our federal government and will refuse in the future to take any type of a shot that is recommended by the CDC and others.
00:14:18.000I think maybe ivervectin, hydrochloroquine, I talk about that in the book as well.
00:14:22.000You think about Dr. Robert Malone, and I was the congressman that actually had his interview with Joe Rogan, Robert Malone's interview with Joe Rogan.
00:14:32.000I transcribed that and I placed it into the congressional record.
00:14:59.000The only thing they claim it does now is it reduces the likelihood of hospitalization.
00:15:05.000But people are still getting knocked out for weeks.
00:15:08.000Joe Scarborough for three months, and then he's trying to deny it.
00:15:11.000And Micah Brzezinski was like, no, it was three months.
00:15:14.000And he's got, what, four or five shots?
00:15:17.000And how come we don't hear these stories about these very serious recurrences or breakthrough cases among people who didn't get the vaccine?
00:15:26.000Now, they come out in the press and they're like, that's because those people are dead.
00:15:31.000In Illinois, you had the chief medical officer come out and be like, understand that if someone dies with COVID, it is registered as a death with COVID.
00:15:42.000Like if a guy dies in a motorcycle crash and it turns out he had COVID.
00:15:46.000Yeah, I did this story about some, this is months, I mean over a year at this point, where some state had to publicly reduce their COVID deaths because they were like, we went back through and based on our new definition, because like there had been someone who had COVID and died in a car crash and they counted that as a COVID death.
00:16:02.000Well, because the hospital was paid more money if they could list it as a COVID death.
00:16:06.000But then when you say people were dying, it's like, okay, but how many people were really dying?
00:16:13.000And I said to the guy with Pfizer the other day, I said, you know, I said, I saw commercials, you got Pfizer commercials, I think even during the Super Bowl.
00:16:20.000I said, but the idea that we're going to give shots now to little toddlers, two, three, four year olds, When there's really no data that says that there's a risk of loss of life with youngsters.
00:16:32.000I mean, we know it's people with pre-existing conditions, obese people, senior people.
00:16:37.000I mean, those were the people I think that we were targeting early on to get the shot, but healthy 18, 20, 25 year olds.
00:16:44.000And I tell you something, this phone, you can see about anything on that phone.
00:16:48.000Look at the people, the young people now, they're just keeling over from cardiac arrest.
00:17:52.000And it's weird because the girls, you know, that she's talking with, they're like, they think she's being dramatic about whatever they're talking about first.
00:17:58.000Like she's having an exaggerated reaction.
00:18:00.000And then they realize that she's on the floor.
00:18:32.000I voted against the NDAA because I said to myself, everybody that was kicked out of the military because they refused to get shot should get reinstated and brought back into the military.
00:18:43.000And the NDAA, it didn't go far enough.
00:20:09.000Should we take some calls from our Discord server?
00:20:14.000So, I know we had pre-screened questions, but I don't think that kind of makes sense, because you need to ask questions about, like, the conversation, right?
00:20:20.000But we do have people who wanted to ask some questions, so I don't know if you know how to pull it up, Serge?
00:23:28.000I think if our politicians, Doctor, I think if our politicians would just put the American people first, I think that would be enough to satisfy the American people and we could prosper.
00:23:38.000We just got to put our people, the American people first.
00:23:44.000But I tell you, all these people coming into our country from the southern border, I mean, I don't know how we really feel that's benefiting.
00:23:50.000I talked to those that say we could use the cheap labor, but it's putting a strain on our public school system, our resources.
00:24:37.000I don't know where I was, but what I was saying, essentially, it's nice to be able to get an opinion from an actual senator that spent some time in Washington, see what you think about some of these little ideas that are coming.
00:24:51.000I think that that's worth at least a little bit of time.
00:24:54.000Yeah, the thing about greater Idaho and New California is that it's not civil war or a secession from the Union.
00:25:00.000It's states either joining other states or becoming their own states.
00:25:03.000I think that's a really good idea, because that can prevent the country from actually breaking apart.
00:25:09.000If Eastern Oregon is able to join with Idaho, where the views are more aligned, it won't actually change the balance of power in the Senate.
00:25:17.000It moves over one member of Congress, so sure, Oregon may be mad about it, but it stops the fighting.
00:25:27.000The boundary just moves to encompass Eastern Oregon into Idaho.
00:25:30.000I think if it would go to a referendum and the people inside those counties and communities would support that, I think why would you get in the way?
00:25:38.000Because the left isn't going to want it.
00:25:40.000Because they don't want to lose their slaves.
00:26:47.000I'll just call you Mr. Troy because us Southerners put your names all the time.
00:26:53.000My question is, I'm a fellow Southerner like you.
00:26:55.000I come from the great state of Mississippi.
00:26:57.000I sometimes cross in the good old Louisiana over there.
00:27:02.000My question is, would you be willing to push forward a bill or support a bill That would rework our national rail and pipe network.
00:27:11.000The railway that passes through the town that I love and grew up in is basically holding on by threads and needles, and it's amazing that we have not had a derailment yet and had a La Megantite.
00:27:27.000If you guys ever heard that rail disaster.
00:27:30.000If you haven't, I suggest you look it up.
00:27:35.000It's a great question. I happen to be the chairman over rails pipelines and
00:27:40.000hazardous materials that subcommittee. I was up in East Palestine and you're
00:27:45.000probably talking about the class 1 railroads. You're talking about UP, Norfolk,
00:27:49.000BNSF, the major airlines or railroads.
00:27:53.000I think what the American people have to understand, too, is that when you have a derailment and you have leakage, you have spillage of hazmat, obviously it affects the environment.
00:28:03.000But 99.9% of the material, hazmat material, that's transported by rail in this country reach their destinations safely.
00:28:12.000What happened in East Palestine was horrible and it needs to be addressed in North Fork Southern.
00:30:21.000Hey, very honored to be here on the first night.
00:30:25.000I actually got a shout out the first night that you did the after show live, so I'm very honored to be here.
00:30:31.000I've got a question for Representative Nail.
00:30:35.000I'm a young man, I just turned 28, two days before Tim's birthday, and I was wanting to see if you've got any suggestions for a young man who's been involved in politics since he was in elementary school.
00:30:50.000I've been I've been shown Fox News and everything.
00:30:53.000My parents were very involved in keeping up with politics and everything.
00:31:00.000So, I'm wanting to run for political office at some point in the next two to six years, but I'm a little worried about skeletons coming back from the younger days.
00:31:13.000Something like a Kavanaugh, but not that egregious.
00:31:18.000I was wondering if you had any suggestions for young people like myself who are wanting to get into politics but are worried about the nastiness that comes with it.
00:31:28.000A good example would be George Santos, right?
00:31:32.000I don't know how they run elections up in New York, but you've got to do your opposition research on you.
00:31:38.000When I ran, I was an elected sheriff, I was an elected councilman before that, but when I ran for Congress, I spent over $5,000 and hired somebody to do opposition research on me.
00:31:49.000I knew the DCCC was going to do it, but I didn't know what they were going to find out, so I spent the $5,000 to have somebody look into me and my background so I would be able to be prepared to address any issues that may come up.
00:32:01.000If you're going to seek public office, start locally.
00:32:09.000If you try to get on that school board, whatever decision you make, half the people are going to love you, half the people are going to hate you.
00:32:15.000I think it's a very important position to hold.
00:34:13.000I think in the future, uh, I'll be doing the swapping from, like, the screened area to the new one, but... It's probably faster that way, right?
00:34:25.000I think we should have a members-only show that only goes behind the paywall, that is completely surged, just reading everyone's superchats.
00:34:31.000Oh, no, we actually, we're talking about doing a members-only show that's actually Colin's.
00:35:42.000Well, my visit, I was on the ground for about four hours up in East Palestine and I had an opportunity to sit down with the mayor, EPA officials, Norfolk Southern.
00:35:56.000I think there's some misinformation that's being spread out there that Listen, there's over 165 individuals from Norsefolk Southern and contractors trying to clean up that mess up there.
00:36:07.000They're digging down around the track where the actual derailment occurred.
00:36:10.000They're digging down about four feet and they're reaching clay.
00:36:13.000And that's a blessing because it's kind of a bathtub.
00:36:16.000It's kind of holding some of that hazardous material.
00:36:20.000As it relates to the sticks and the stones that are being thrown into a little creek there, They went upstream about a mile or so and they shut it down and they diverted that entire stream all the way around the contaminated area and then sent it back in.
00:36:37.000You've got to understand that that area, that contaminated water, they're going to get rid of all that water.
00:36:44.000They're going to go in there and get rid of all the material that has been contaminated.
00:36:49.000And there's just, I think, an enormous amount of misinformation.
00:36:53.000I drank the water, the public water supply is safe to drink, and the mayor, I looked him in the eye, I said, just tell me one thing I can do for you.
00:37:01.000I'm with the government, I'm here to help.
00:37:03.000He said, would you just tell my people, tell my people that the public water supply is safe to drink.
00:37:09.000I went down to the local Chinese restaurant and drank some of the water to try to, he's trying to manage a situation there.
00:37:16.000Northfolk Southern is going to pay for this, but the NTSB will have their report out in the next several months.
00:37:31.000So we've got a pretty good confirmation that it's not going to be one of those that the railway is paying for it but using taxpayer dollars that sustain them and keep them in operations the same as the airlines?
00:37:42.000Well there's all sorts of... Or is it actually going to be the profits?
00:37:45.000Well there's all sorts of grants that Class 1s, Class 2s, Class 3s get.
00:37:48.000There's SISI grants too and stuff so I don't know how many, what type of grants Norfolk Southern has received.
00:37:57.000I just want to make sure that we We don't have more and more derailments.
00:38:02.000I mean, when you have a derailment like this, and you have leakage, and you have the big mushroom cloud over that community, it obviously causes people many, many concerns.
00:38:12.000So, I think it's being addressed, but I can assure you as a chairman over that subcommittee, I will get to the bottom of it.
00:38:29.000Like, you know, if these rail companies are getting subsidies from the government, then when they, quote, pay for the disaster, it's like they're just using subsidy money.
00:39:53.000Okay, so my question for the Congressman is, I know Tim is all about culture and making sure that we show up and we take over the cultural spaces that are important, and I think that the Internet's the most important cultural space that we have, and we really need to be on the Internet and to be doing things to take that space over.
00:40:32.000Yeah, and so, you know, because of how important it is to be on the internet and to be So, I would love to see all the Freedom Caucus on Twitch playing Among Us.
00:40:50.000AOC took over that space and she owned it.
00:40:52.000She had one of the biggest streams back in 2020.
00:40:57.000It's incredible to me that your consultants have no idea what Twitch is.
00:41:00.000It's the best way for you to get free publicity.
00:41:03.000You don't have to pay a dime and you can get tens of thousands of people watching.
00:42:21.000It's gonna be set up downstairs in our green room where we're going to do just fun, you know, home games.
00:42:27.000I think Maryland buy-ins are legal, but we'll make sure everything's legal.
00:42:30.000And then we have an RFID table coming to the new studio where we're gonna do a show called Poker with the Boys, Poker with the Boys.
00:42:36.000And then Friday after the show, instead of doing an after show, We'll have a two hour live tournament style poker game with staff members, our guests.
00:42:46.000So if you came on a Friday, we'd hang out with you.
00:42:49.000The point of the show is mostly to build culture and community and to make jokes and to smack talk.
00:42:55.000And it would be funny to see like you and like Matt Gaetz and Matt Gaetz, he bluffs you out of a huge pod and you get stacked and everyone's laughing.
00:43:04.000So this, I think, aligns kind of with what you're saying, Wolfgar, but in a way that's more so our kind of audience, I guess.
00:43:11.000I don't know if, you know, Among Us with like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Congressman Nails would be as effective, but poker would be.
00:43:20.000It doesn't have to be Among Us, that was just an example, but just having congressmen on Twitch, on YouTube Live, actually being fun and having fun, while also explaining their ideas, it's free publicity, okay?
00:43:35.000And that's why your consultants haven't told you about it.
00:44:34.000You know, Dave Smith was mentioning it'll be funny to like, you know, you're, you're in a hand with Jordan Peterson and he's like, you can't bluff me because what you're actually talking about is the archetypal, you know?
00:44:58.000I think that's why a lot of stuff AOC does.
00:45:00.000Like, I remember she did her, like, skincare routine on her Instagram Live going on-train.
00:45:04.000Like, that kind of stuff feels relatable to people and, you know, as probably great as the speak you are, we love to see you in a professional setting.
00:45:12.000It's fun to see you outside of that box.
00:45:23.000That's why CPAC, I'm like, and TPUSA, they're great, but like, when we went to Turning Point, I think we were the only ones not wearing suits.
00:45:33.000But, you know, most people there, even the young people showing up, were all dressed up, and I'm like, you gotta reach the average person, you know?
00:45:40.000Man, I felt so out of place, honestly.
00:45:48.000And this was an awesome very first call-in portion of the Uncensored show.
00:45:53.000And I mean, hopefully this is the kind of stuff we can put together that helps build culture and community, but also a more sustainable business operation, because I don't want to rely on YouTube.
00:46:03.000I want to be able to get the show on as many platforms as possible so that the real focus is, can we convert audience members across the board into hanging out with us, becoming members, and supporting
00:46:13.000the machine. So, Congressman, thanks for hanging out. It's been a blast.
00:46:16.000Thank you. Appreciate y'all. God bless. You got a great team here. Great.
00:46:19.000Thank you very much. Yeah, good people. Absolutely. And more awesome stuff to come. Hey, she's prettier than you
00:46:30.000And for everybody who is a member who joined the Discord, if you haven't joined the Discord yet, I strongly recommend that you do so we can get you in the chat and talk.
00:46:41.000And I also want to add, With the new live show, After Show, we have currently 3,254 people watching.
00:46:50.000That's the biggest we've done yet, so hopefully this can be a huge component of how we make this operation run, because if we can rival the Daily Wire, they've got a million subscribers, we're nowhere near that number.
