Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden Admin CALLS FOR Illegal Protests At Homes Of SCOTUS Judges w-Matthew Foldi

00:00:00.000 So, Jen Psaki is speaking to the press.

00:00:10.000 She gets asked about the protests in front of the Supreme Court Justice's homes, which is illegal.

00:00:17.000 And she actually said that the president's position is to encourage peaceful protests outside of judges' homes.

00:00:25.000 That's kind of crazy because that's illegal.

00:00:27.000 We have the law.

00:00:28.000 We'll pull the law up. 0.79

00:00:29.000 We'll show it to you.

00:00:30.000 And I get these lefties.

00:00:30.000 They're like, Tim, 10 years ago, you would have celebrated these protests.

00:00:34.000 And I'm like, oh, yeah, I mean, they should be arrested, though.

00:00:37.000 Civil disobediences have always said results in arrest.

00:00:39.000 We don't destroy your life and throw away the key.

00:00:42.000 We arrest you to stop you from doing the illegal thing.

00:00:45.000 It's called nonviolent civil disobedience.

00:00:47.000 It's a tradition.

00:00:49.000 You go in the street.

00:00:49.000 You sit down.

00:00:50.000 The cop takes you, arrests you.

00:00:51.000 You made your point.

00:00:52.000 You get the press.

00:00:53.000 It's peaceful.

00:00:54.000 Right.

00:00:55.000 They should be arrested.

00:00:56.000 They're not getting arrested.

00:00:57.000 And now the president is actually inciting illegal behavior.

00:01:00.000 Congratulations.

00:01:01.000 That's where we're at.

00:01:01.000 But how about this?

00:01:03.000 Joe Biden was also speaking about inflation today.

00:01:05.000 And he said, it's not my fault.

00:01:07.000 It's the pandemic's fault.

00:01:08.000 And it's Putin's fault.

00:01:09.000 And you know what?

00:01:10.000 Ultra MAGA.

00:01:11.000 And then he started ragging on UltraMAGA again, and I'm just like, this dude's lost his mind.

00:01:15.000 You know, dude, I can give him... Like, okay, I get COVID was bad.

00:01:19.000 I'm not gonna blame Biden for all the COVID stuff.

00:01:21.000 But then he's just like, it's MAGA's fault.

00:01:23.000 Like, MAGA's bad.

00:01:24.000 They're gonna destroy everybody. 1.00

00:01:25.000 Just shut up, dude. 1.00

00:01:27.000 The gas prices broke records. 0.99

00:01:29.000 Diesel has broken a record.

00:01:30.000 There's no baby formula.

00:01:31.000 We got food shortages.

00:01:33.000 I will tell you this, if you're the president of the United States, and dude who complains on internet has been warning about food shortages for a year now, and y'all didn't do anything to prepare for this, Well then, you know, what am I supposed to say?

00:01:46.000 Am I supposed to be like, it's not Biden's fault all this is happening?

00:01:49.000 You know, even I recognized this a year ago. 1.00

00:01:52.000 Talk about completely stupid. 1.00

00:01:53.000 So we're going to be talking about this. 1.00

00:01:55.000 We'll talk about the economy and everything that's really bad.

00:01:57.000 And we're going to talk about congressional races, redistricting.

00:02:01.000 Joining us to discuss all of this is Matthew Foldy.

00:02:04.000 Guys, great to be here.

00:02:05.000 I'm running to be the congressman from this area.

00:02:07.000 So thanks for having me on tonight.

00:02:08.000 You are trying to represent the place in which this building is.

00:02:11.000 Yes, sir.

00:02:12.000 So what's your background?

00:02:13.000 You want to introduce yourself beyond that?

00:02:15.000 Well, I'm a fan of the show, sort of the Joe Rogan show of the East Coast.

00:02:19.000 Ooh, hear that, guys?

00:02:20.000 I like that, yeah.

00:02:21.000 I don't know, I get really similar vibes.

00:02:25.000 So yeah, I was a journalist until last month, and I'm from Maryland, from Montgomery County, at the southern part of this district here.

00:02:32.000 And basically, the governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan, fought the Democrats in our state capitol.

00:02:38.000 You know, a lot of coverage about redistricting says that only Republicans do this, right?

00:02:42.000 But it's actually Maryland Democrats are literally the worst in the country.

00:02:44.000 They've been eliminating Republican congressmen all the time via redistricting.

00:02:47.000 We've got Maryland's 6th District from before the redistricting, and you can actually see the gerrymandering is insane.

00:02:53.000 They just carved out all of the outer area of Frederick, the city, which makes it a Democrat district because those are Republican areas.

00:03:01.000 Exactly.

00:03:01.000 And now that restoring it has basically returned Western Maryland, which is Trump country.

00:03:06.000 I mean, there is a gigantic sign over here that is just like Trump MAGA.

00:03:10.000 There's Trump Ultra MAGA.

00:03:12.000 Yeah, Ultra MAGA.

00:03:13.000 So this will be interesting.

00:03:14.000 We'll talk about what's going on with your race and who you are and all that stuff.

00:03:18.000 We'll talk about all that news.

00:03:19.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:03:20.000 We got Shim Sham. 0.97

00:03:21.000 Shim Sham over here, Shimcast IRL.

00:03:23.000 I run a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.

00:03:25.000 If you all want to check that out, we upload satirical cartoons every single Thursday, sometimes on Tuesdays as well.

00:03:31.000 I think you guys should go over there and check it out.

00:03:32.000 You'll enjoy it.

00:03:33.000 I agree.

00:03:34.000 I agree.

00:03:34.000 I think they should go over there and check out Freedom Tunes.

00:03:36.000 And while you're at it, I am Ian Crossland.

00:03:37.000 Check out iancrossland.net if you'd like to get involved or contact me in any way.

00:03:41.000 And we'll get through there.

00:03:42.000 See you soon.

00:03:43.000 And I'm very excited to have a local politician on the show with us this evening.

00:03:46.000 It's being a really good conversation.

00:03:48.000 I'm looking forward to it.

00:03:48.000 Well, local to us, but you're running for Congress.

00:03:51.000 You got it.

00:03:51.000 So that's federal level.

00:03:52.000 That's not Maryland.

00:03:53.000 You're correct.

00:03:53.000 Because I was complaining to you about Maryland politics, but you were like, yeah, but that's Annapolis.

00:03:57.000 It's like not DC, right?

00:03:59.000 Look, you can always complain about Maryland politics. 0.85

00:04:01.000 The Democrats here are absolutely insane, whether they're on a state, local, or federal level.

00:04:05.000 In my county, they removed school resource officers from public schools, thinking that would make students safer.

00:04:11.000 We then had the first ever school shooting, which I covered when I was a journalist up until last month at the Free Beacon.

00:04:16.000 This policy is such a disaster that even Democrats in Montgomery County said, whoa, whoa, maybe we're going to put school resource officers back because that actually makes students less safe, having them in there.

00:04:26.000 We got a lot to talk about in terms of that, so before we get started, head over to timcast.com and in the top right you will see a sign up button.

00:04:33.000 Click that button, sign up, become a member, and I'll tell you why.

00:04:36.000 As a member you're supporting our journalists, our op-ed writers, and you will get access to exclusive segments from this show.

00:04:42.000 We'll have a special segment up at 11 p.m.

00:04:45.000 tonight.

00:04:46.000 Members only is not particularly family friendly, so you've been worn a lot of swearing and Adult conversations about, you know, stuff that you two probably wouldn't be happy with, and you probably don't want your kids to listen to anyway.

00:04:56.000 But there's another reason why I should become a member.

00:04:59.000 We recently switched over all of our hosting to Rumble's infrastructure because we need to do two things.

00:05:05.000 We need to get away from the censorious platforms of Silicon Valley and big tech.

00:05:09.000 That's the real first reason we were like, we better get on Rumble because they will try to ban us.

00:05:14.000 However, it also means that we are creating competition for Silicon Valley by using Rumble service, by using their video player for our members only, by using their cloud service for our website.

00:05:24.000 And we have big news coming up about future infrastructure changes.

00:05:28.000 As a member, you are helping businesses that are on alternative infrastructure.

00:05:33.000 So it's all just one more grain of sand in that heap, making sure that this new technology, this new tech sector, can grow and compete with the censorious lunatics of Silicon Valley.

00:05:45.000 But don't forget, you can also smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and share the URL to this show, or share the show wherever you can right now.

00:05:52.000 Grassroots marketing is amazingly powerful.

00:05:55.000 And we've spent zero dollars on marketing this show up until this point.

00:06:00.000 We've got something happening at the end of the month, and we're going to do a bunch of silly and fun things.

00:06:04.000 As I mentioned, the culture jamming is marketing.

00:06:06.000 And it's all thanks to you guys who watch the show and as members.

00:06:08.000 So we're going to keep on keeping on.

00:06:10.000 But now let's get into that first story and call out Ms. 1.00

00:06:12.000 Jen Psaki and the president.

00:06:14.000 So as many of you know, there have been protests in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices.

00:06:20.000 It's overtly illegal.

00:06:21.000 It's like unquestionably illegal to do this because free speech is, or I should say, justice is more important than free speech.

00:06:30.000 So we basically The idea from the Founding Fathers and in precedent is you can have your free speech, but courts need to adjudicate.

00:06:38.000 And if you try to protest, picket, parade, or whatever in front of a member of the court's home in an effort to intimidate or change those proceedings, you are committing a crime.

00:06:47.000 It is a slap on the wrist crime.

00:06:49.000 No one's going to destroy your life over this.

00:06:51.000 It's like up to a year in jail, which basically, I think it's a misdemeanor.

00:06:54.000 I don't know how they do the laws at the federal level.

00:06:59.000 These people should be arrested.

00:07:00.000 They're not being arrested.

00:07:01.000 And more importantly, we have Jen Psaki encouraging illegal behavior. 1.00

00:07:06.000 Now look, I get it.

00:07:07.000 Nonviolent civil disobedience, I'm mostly cool with.

00:07:11.000 But that means people get arrested, and these people are not getting arrested.

00:07:13.000 Take a look at this clip, the Post Millennial posted.

00:07:16.000 Just listen to Jen Psaki, yourselves.

00:07:18.000 Actually, I think I gotta fix... I always gotta make sure I set the audio right, otherwise it just doesn't play.

00:07:22.000 There we go, there we go.

00:07:23.000 So I know that there's an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date, and we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges' homes, and that's the president's position.

00:07:35.000 The president's position is to encourage peaceful protests outside of judges' homes.

00:07:41.000 Okay, well, I'm just gonna, real quick, I'm gonna read the law, alright?

00:07:46.000 18 U.S.C.A.

00:07:48.000 1507, whoever with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding The administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent, uses any sound truck or similar device, or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year or both,

00:08:22.000 Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.

00:08:29.000 It quite literally says any other demonstration.

00:08:32.000 Now look, I'm not saying these people protesting should get felony charges and life in prison.

00:08:36.000 I'm saying when you engage in non-violent civil disobedience, we recognize you're going to get arrested for it.

00:08:41.000 You're going to get a fine.

00:08:42.000 You're probably going to get court supervision.

00:08:44.000 The judge is going to say, you can't go back.

00:08:45.000 And that's it.

00:08:46.000 You made your point.

00:08:47.000 You did something that some people would find crossing the line.

00:08:51.000 You get your punishment for it.

00:08:52.000 But nothing's happening.

00:08:54.000 I kind of just now listened to it for like the second time or the third time.

00:08:56.000 I realized when she says, and we encourage that, that people are misinterpreting that, that they encourage the outrage against it.

00:09:02.000 That people are like, no, that's what she meant, that they encourage the outrage.

00:09:05.000 But she obviously, if you listen to the way she speaks, is encouraging the people being outside the homes of the judges.

00:09:10.000 Well, I don't think anybody assumed otherwise.

00:09:12.000 Yeah.

00:09:13.000 If you read it in text, I could see how it could get taken out of context.

00:09:16.000 Let me show you what the Daily Mail did on this one.

00:09:18.000 They took her quote and they added hyphens to change the context, which is amazing.

00:09:23.000 They say, I know that there's an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date.

00:09:29.000 Yeah, I mean, what's the point of protesting outside the house of an unelected judge?

00:09:33.000 Are you gonna give him a constitutional argument he hasn't heard of?

00:09:35.000 It's an intimidation tactic.

00:09:36.000 If they're going to be protesting, they should be peaceful.

00:09:38.000 Instead of saying she encourages the protests themselves outside of judges' homes.

00:09:42.000 What's the point of protesting outside the house of an unelected judge?

00:09:47.000 Are you going to give him a constitutional argument he hasn't heard of?

00:09:50.000 It's an intimidation tactic.

00:09:51.000 It's so obvious.

00:09:52.000 It doesn't matter if it's an intimidation or not.

00:09:54.000 It literally says, influence the court.

00:09:56.000 Influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer.

00:09:59.000 If you go outside of a court and you try to influence the judge, juror, witness, or court officer, you get in trouble for it.

00:10:04.000 This is only in relates to, like, physical buildings being outside?

00:10:07.000 Because, like, if you try and influence them through the internet, like, create a campaign of mass people emailing or something, that's legal.

00:10:14.000 Well, this is specifically picketing or parading, and it says, any other demonstration.

00:10:18.000 Yo, I'm just saying, I don't think it's the apocalypse.

00:10:21.000 I think they definitely shouldn't go to people's homes.

00:10:23.000 I think that's over the line.

00:10:24.000 But I just think, when you get to the point where the January 6th trespassers, not the rioters, the rioters I get, you arrest those guys, but the people who had the doors opened, who have been locked up in solitary for like six months to a year or longer, some of these people, and then it turns out the judge is like, oh, the cops let you in, you're case dismissed.

00:10:42.000 The boot that comes down on the people on the right for basically what is a very similar law versus the people who repeatedly and continually do this and then are encouraged to do it by the president, the disparity in law enforcement is absolutely insane.

00:10:59.000 Yeah, I don't want to assume, but I would imagine that if there was another law being considered and that it was something Joe Biden wanted to get passed and people were protesting outside judges, they'd have referenced this immediately and went and arrested them all.

00:11:11.000 I don't know, but that's the feeling of this partisanry.

00:11:14.000 Could you imagine if like...

00:11:16.000 Proud Boys showed up to a judge's house.

00:11:19.000 They'd get arrested immediately.

00:11:20.000 Domestic terrorists, insurrectionists, they're trying to burn the country down. 1.00

00:11:23.000 That's all you would hear from me.

00:11:24.000 And not only that, but it wouldn't simply be the case that they would get arrested.

00:11:29.000 They would start digging through tweets from conservative politicians who said that they were against this potential decision and tried to charge them with insurrection.

00:11:37.000 And we would never, ever hear the end of it.

00:11:39.000 We would never hear the end of it.

00:11:40.000 It would be in the news cycle repeatedly.

00:11:42.000 Remember when those Proud Boys went outside that judge's house?

00:11:45.000 No, because it's the left doing it.

00:11:46.000 Nobody cares.

00:11:47.000 They tried to like frame it as a vigil, which is like a silent thing where you're standing vigil at night, you're keeping an eye out and scouting and you're quiet while you're doing it.

00:11:55.000 But if they're making noise outside their houses, it's just a full on protest.

00:11:59.000 This is actually just a continuation of the Biden 2020 campaign, right, where they said, OK, every illegal immigrant can come across and get free health care.

00:12:07.000 Right.

00:12:07.000 They said that in the Democratic primary debate.

00:12:09.000 He raised his hand.

00:12:10.000 Kamala raised her hand.

00:12:11.000 During the 2020 campaign, as you guys were talking about this week, they bailed out rioters in Minnesota, including rapists and pedophiles.

00:12:19.000 So it's not a surprise that they're encouraging lawlessness themselves here.

00:12:23.000 That is the Democratic Party.

00:12:24.000 It's obviously the party of defunding the police.

00:12:27.000 It's the party of not enforcing laws.

00:12:29.000 At what point do we just start acting like there is no government?

00:12:34.000 Let me elaborate.

00:12:36.000 The media lied about Kyle Rittenhouse. 0.98

00:12:38.000 They repeatedly said that he shot and killed black people, which is just not true. 0.79

00:12:43.000 They lied about what happened. 0.99

00:12:44.000 It was insane watching the actual trial and seeing those lies.

00:12:50.000 And I'm like, okay, these people can't be argued with.

00:12:52.000 They've made this story up.

00:12:54.000 In fact, the Daily Beast used to be considered credible by NewsGuard, like 100%.

00:12:59.000 And then you watch it slowly go down. 0.98

00:13:02.000 Now they're considered fake news, with a red exclamation point, because they refuse to correct all of the fake garbage they've posted. 0.96

00:13:08.000 I wonder if the people at NewsGuard, which is like a news rating agency, are all getting red-pilled like crazy. 0.91

00:13:13.000 Because they're like, the New York Times always tells the truth!

00:13:15.000 Then they start doing fact-checking, and they're like, guys, we had to actually fact-check them and They lied several times.

00:13:21.000 So I'm looking at this.

00:13:23.000 I'm looking at the double standard that, you know, we all perceive as people who like the Constitution and the Republic.

00:13:30.000 Obviously, there's no double standard for the left because if it's good for the revolution, it's good.

00:13:33.000 If it's bad for the revolution, it's bad.

00:13:34.000 But for us, we're like, hey, we want laws enforced equally.

00:13:37.000 I believe people have a right to protest.

00:13:39.000 I believe you have a right.

00:13:40.000 I believe in leeway for nonviolent civil disobedience.

00:13:44.000 But you at least expect there to be some upholding the law.

00:13:47.000 So at what point Do people just say, there's no point to engage with the system, negotiate with, collaborate with, or even consider?

00:13:58.000 It would probably be starv- if there's a mass starvation.

00:14:01.000 It would be like a desperation thing if something like that were to happen.

00:14:04.000 I just mean, like, what happens if people stop participating in national-level politics in any sense, because they're like, this is pointless?

00:14:10.000 That's kind of the point, that's why we have representatives.

00:14:12.000 Well, look, look, here's what I want to say.

00:14:14.000 With Roe v. Wade, as soon as these judges got in, you saw a bunch of red states start passing these abortion restrictions. 1.00

00:14:22.000 And the left was saying, you know, this is illegal, it violates precedent, you can't do this.

00:14:27.000 But the states were like, we're gonna do it anyway.

00:14:29.000 We've continually seen this throughout the past couple of years, where red states and blue states just do whatever they want, regardless of the federal government.

00:14:36.000 It is kind of the impetus of the United States to say, hey man, if King George was doing whatever he wanted, we were like, yeah, we're gonna do what we want.

00:14:43.000 So that's the United States.

00:14:44.000 Yeah, I mean, parties are generally selective.

00:14:49.000 Let it out, Seamus.

00:14:51.000 I can tell your point is gold.

00:14:52.000 Now, this is going to be the most boring point I've ever made.

00:14:52.000 Thank you.

00:14:57.000 No pressure.

00:14:58.000 When it comes to sanctuary cities, or decriminalization of certain drugs that are completely fine defying the federal government, but if you do so to protect unborn children, then that's illegal and they don't have any respect for our political process. 0.55

00:15:19.000 The issue right now... Everything keeps looping back to the Roe v. Wade thing, because that's what this protest is about.

00:15:26.000 But it's conservatives are like, states should have the ability to choose, and if blue states want to pass unrestricted abortion, well, then that's their state's right.

00:15:35.000 That's literally what the argument is right now.

00:15:37.000 There are conservatives obviously saying it should be banned outright, but right now in politics, they're like, return it to the state legislatures!

00:15:43.000 And the left is like, no, red states should be forced to allow abortion.

00:15:48.000 At what point do people just say like, dude, we're not going to participate with you anymore and we're going to do whatever we want.

00:15:53.000 What are you going to do about it?

00:15:54.000 California's doing it already.

00:15:55.000 I'm going to try again.

00:15:58.000 So yes, I think that's the point in large part.

00:16:00.000 They want anyone who isn't on the far left to stop participating.

00:16:06.000 That's the whole idea.

00:16:07.000 You don't get a voice.

00:16:08.000 This government isn't here to represent you.

00:16:10.000 It's here to force the ideological whims of a small minority of this country onto you.

00:16:15.000 It's the purpose of the political system at this point.

00:16:17.000 The irony of that, though, and I'll harken back to this a lot over the course of my campaign, is the Democratic Party is literally being run from people's basements and from their living rooms.

00:16:26.000 The government is not being run in person.

00:16:28.000 This was one of the stories that I wrote at the Free Beacon.

00:16:30.000 I walked all around the Capitol for about 11 miles, walking and just simply taking pictures and taking videos,

00:16:36.000 pulling on doorknobs of the Democrats' health committee, which is closed to prevent the spread of germs,

00:16:41.000 which is impossible.

00:16:43.000 The Senate Armed Services Committee, we have some conflicts going on in the world

00:16:46.000 you might have been aware of.

00:16:48.000 The Foreign Relations Committee Democrats closed.

00:16:50.000 All of the government is being run on Zoom, which is a huge national security risk, right?

00:16:54.000 All of the Democrats in Congress up until a couple of weeks ago

00:16:57.000 and the day after my story posted, Chuck Schumer opened his office.

00:17:01.000 offices are closed.

00:17:03.000 All of their constituent offices around the country are closed.

00:17:05.000 So you're right.

00:17:06.000 They're trying to force conformity, but they're also hiding from accountability, because if you have a problem with how your Democratic member of Congress, like the guy I'm running against, David Trone, you literally can't access him.

00:17:16.000 You go to his offices, and this is true of Democrats around the country.

00:17:19.000 There's literally mail just piling up.

00:17:20.000 You can write to them.

00:17:21.000 You can be the most pro-life person, the most pro-choice person.

00:17:24.000 They literally don't care.

00:17:25.000 They're hiding from accountability.

00:17:27.000 They're using the coronavirus to sort of be able to withdraw from public criticism.

00:17:31.000 I just think the system is just, it's already collapsed and we're kidding ourselves that it hasn't.

00:17:35.000 It's changed.

00:17:36.000 We're for sure using ancient ideas with modern technology and it's not translating because I think they have a right to work remote.

00:17:44.000 You say that with an abacus in front of your laptop.

00:17:46.000 I like it.

00:17:46.000 I will use it if the power goes out.

00:17:47.000 That's part of why I have it.

00:17:50.000 But honestly, I mean, let's use the best technology we have to communicate the fastest and most efficient way possible, in my opinion, and these people are still sending letters.

00:17:57.000 Yeah, but you need to be able to talk to your representative.

00:18:00.000 Exactly.

00:18:02.000 They need to be available to you.

00:18:03.000 That's why, like, Zoom, like, they should have an hour a day where they take video chat with people, public video chats.

00:18:08.000 But that's the only way they're trying to run the government is by Zoom.

00:18:10.000 And you know, my grandparents had no idea how to do that.

00:18:12.000 If you're in parts of Western Maryland where there's horrible rural broadband problems, you can't function like this.

00:18:18.000 I know all about horrible rural broadband problems.

00:18:22.000 It took us like six months to get internet out here?

00:18:24.000 Yeah.

00:18:25.000 Crazy.

00:18:25.000 I mean, we had low quality internet to get business.

00:18:28.000 I mean, it was nuts.

00:18:29.000 And with the new space we're building, it's really difficult.

00:18:31.000 That's West Virginia.

00:18:32.000 But here's the issue.

00:18:33.000 I don't like the idea of Zoom government.

00:18:36.000 I don't like the idea That they don't need to look you in the eyes and shake your hand and know you have stood before them in their physical space and said, I live here and here's what I expect from you.

00:18:49.000 That is important.

00:18:49.000 Like the king used to take court where people would come in for several hours a day and he'd be, oh, so bored just listening to the problems.

00:18:54.000 Be like, okay, yeah, you get the money.

00:18:56.000 Okay.

00:18:56.000 Yeah.

00:18:56.000 You're the one in trouble.

00:18:57.000 And it works, but it doesn't scale.

00:18:59.000 When you have a 3 million people that want to talk to the guy, the guy only has like, you know, 24 hours in a day.

00:19:04.000 Well, I'll take a number.

00:19:06.000 I mean, what are you gonna do?

00:19:07.000 It doesn't matter if you're on Zoom or otherwise.

00:19:09.000 People can't... If there's too many people, there's too many people.

00:19:12.000 The problem I have, and the reason why we don't do Zoom shows with IRL, is that it doesn't work.

00:19:17.000 You don't get a real conversation.

00:19:20.000 I mean, you can have a conversation, It just, it's not the same.

00:19:24.000 You can't, it's not the same, but you can.

00:19:26.000 I had one with Michael Malice a couple weeks ago, episode 203 of You're Welcome, and it was amazing, amazing to have a chance to talk to Michael for an hour.

00:19:33.000 It was amazing, amazing technology.

00:19:36.000 But I think part of it is the fact that you two agree or it wasn't going to be a hostile conversation.

00:19:41.000 If you're having a conversation with someone you disagree with, it's much easier to operate in bad faith and to just try to get dunks and smacks in if you're communicating with them digitally rather than face to face.

00:19:51.000 Part of it is the way the audio doesn't translate, it's binary, so if I speak while you're speaking, one of them cuts out.

00:19:56.000 There's a reason why, in my opinion, whenever we try and get prominent left personalities on the show, they always say, I'll do it on Zoom.

00:20:04.000 And it's because what they're going to do is, once we bring them on the show and go live, they're going to cut out and it's going to be someone else.

00:20:11.000 That's what they've done, and that's what they want to do.

00:20:14.000 They want to just screw around.

00:20:17.000 And so there have been a few people who have agreed to come on this show that we've had on the show from prominent left influencers.

00:20:23.000 But all these other ones are like, hey, why don't I just do it digitally?

00:20:26.000 And I'm like, because we've seen what you guys do when you do these things digitally.

00:20:30.000 I'll point out as an aside, it shouldn't be Zoom if we do this.

00:20:32.000 It should be an open source, non-proprietary, so like Jitsi or Element Matrix or something like that.

00:20:37.000 But to add to your point, yeah, man, there's definitely a risk involved.

00:20:41.000 But when it's, it's like, if you need to listen to a bunch of people from around the country, It makes more sense, I think, to do it, to telecommute it, than to make them all fly out to D.C.

00:20:51.000 and wait for an hour or a day.

00:20:52.000 That's the point of having district offices, though, right?

00:20:54.000 That you don't have to go to the Capitol.

00:20:56.000 And yet all of these Democrats around the country, you know, you can go to the closest office here.

00:20:59.000 It's probably 30 minutes away in Hagerstown.

00:21:01.000 Closed.

00:21:02.000 Been closed for two years.

00:21:04.000 I think they have to physically go to D.C.

00:21:08.000 It's a lot to ask of a citizen.

00:21:10.000 Wait, are you talking about the representatives or the constituents?

00:21:12.000 No, no, no, I'm talking about the reps.

00:21:14.000 Oh, yeah.

00:21:14.000 I do not like the idea that they telecommute to Congress.

00:21:17.000 And that's what they've been doing.

00:21:19.000 And, you know, it's like you see these congressional hearings and like, the TV asked you a question, sir?

00:21:25.000 Like, no, no, no, no.

00:21:26.000 Yeah, in regards to Congress itself, they should be together in person, I agree, because you get more out of a human-to-human contact.

00:21:31.000 But for just listening to people's concerns, citizens, I think that could be at least try it.

00:21:36.000 Telecommute.

00:21:37.000 I want to watch your videos on YouTube.

00:21:38.000 On Rumble.

00:21:38.000 call, leave a voicemail, send a message.

00:21:39.000 Bingo.

00:21:40.000 I want to watch your videos on YouTube.

00:21:41.000 Sure, sure, sure. That's great.

00:21:42.000 On Rumble.

00:21:43.000 I just think elected representatives need to be available to their constituents.

00:21:47.000 Bingo. And Pelosi, under her rules in the House, they have been wildly abusing the proxy voting system where you as a

00:21:53.000 representative say, I can't come and vote in person due to the coronavirus. And I reported on this extensively about

00:21:59.000 the abuses of the proxy voting system.

00:22:01.000 You have Eric Swalwell saying that I can't vote due to the coronavirus.

00:22:04.000 He'd be jet-setting around the country.

00:22:06.000 You pull his campaign finance reports.

00:22:08.000 He's spending in lavish hotels.

00:22:10.000 You have other congressmen who are saying, I can't currently vote.

00:22:12.000 They're posting about how they're in Atlanta with Joe Biden for MLK Day.

00:22:16.000 So the proxy voting system has been rampantly abused, and it lets Democrats just shirk their responsibility of voting in person.

00:22:22.000 Let's talk about what's going on in this here country.

00:22:24.000 We got the story from NPR, from Wham-O.

00:22:27.000 Biden criticizes ultramaga Republicans as inflation rises.

00:22:32.000 So basically, he does this speech and he's like, look, there's two reasons for inflation.

00:22:37.000 The unprecedented pandemic.

00:22:39.000 It's like, I can give you some, I can give you that, right?

00:22:41.000 Putin's war.

00:22:42.000 Inflation was happening before Putin's war, but it maybe kicked it up a little bit.

00:22:46.000 I mean, the food costs and everything.

00:22:47.000 And then he goes on to say, but the UltraMAGA have no solution. 0.67

00:22:51.000 They're going to raise your taxes, cut your pay, and make all the problems.

00:22:54.000 And I'm like, dude, the UltraMAGA, like, was three years of prosperity.

00:22:58.000 The best numbers of our lives, so saith Jim Cramer.

00:23:01.000 And then the pandemic happened and things got kind of wonky.

00:23:04.000 So I'll give that to Joe Biden when he's like, the pandemic caused us problems.

00:23:07.000 Sure.

00:23:08.000 But, you know, I mentioned it earlier.

00:23:11.000 A year ago, I was like, guys, food shortages are coming.

00:23:15.000 It's gonna get bad.

00:23:17.000 If dude on internet complaining can talk about the food shortages, and the president could not do anything to plan for or alleviate this, then either he is completely incapable of doing anything about it, and he should probably say that, I can't do anything, sorry, you're out of food.

00:23:32.000 Or he just didn't do what he could have done because he's incompetent, and he could have done something about it.

00:23:38.000 Now let me show you what we're dealing with.

00:23:40.000 Gas prices at record highs.

00:23:43.000 Perhaps when you have gas prices setting records, you shouldn't shut down pipelines, and you shouldn't ban fracking.

00:23:50.000 But, you know, this is the game he's played.

00:23:53.000 He was very happy to help Russia's gas pipeline pre-war.

00:23:58.000 Meanwhile, shutting down the Keystone XL and banning fracking on public lands.

00:24:03.000 And then he says, nothing I did caused this.

00:24:05.000 And it's like, well, at least a little bit, dude.

00:24:07.000 Come on, take some responsibility.

00:24:09.000 Now you have this story from the AP.

00:24:11.000 Parents hunting for baby formula as shortage spans U.S.

00:24:15.000 So this is becoming a very serious issue.

00:24:18.000 I can only say this.

00:24:20.000 If the president is completely incapable of doing anything about this, then he needs to come out and tell the American people.

00:24:25.000 He should have told them a year ago.

00:24:26.000 There is no policy and nothing I can do to help you.

00:24:29.000 Have a nice day.

00:24:30.000 Of course he wouldn't, because it's not true.

00:24:33.000 The reality is Joe Biden is just really bad at what he does.

00:24:35.000 And also, if there's nothing they can do about it, they at least have a responsibility to try to warn the American people so that they can prepare on their own.

00:24:41.000 I understand that's difficult because there's an argument to be made certain people are going to start panicking, but people should at least know so that they have a fighting chance.

00:24:49.000 I just think it's funny that when I do the shout outs for safe and ready meals, the emergency food stuff, which is like, you know, it's been kind of a lot in these past several months.

00:24:57.000 It is a weird phenomena among urban liberals where they mock the idea of buying emergency supplies.

00:25:03.000 And now how many of them are going to the store and they're like, oh, there's no food, no food.

00:25:08.000 What do you do?

00:25:08.000 I get really bothered when they blame the pandemic for this stuff, because I feel like it was the response to the pandemic, however you want to define that, the response to the virus, the shutdown that really caused this, not the virus itself.

00:25:19.000 People responded in a way where they shut down businesses across the world for like a year.

00:25:24.000 A year or something crazy.

00:25:25.000 And now Bill Gates has come out and reversed the entirety of his position.

00:25:30.000 Bill Gates is spreading dangerous disinformation that you are not allowed to say on YouTube.

00:25:36.000 That's right.

00:25:36.000 Bill Gates claimed, can you believe this, that COVID is like the flu?

00:25:41.000 No, Bill Gates.

00:25:42.000 YouTube will ban you if you say that.

00:25:44.000 Ultramaga got to him.

00:25:45.000 Yeah.

00:25:46.000 Ultramaga.

00:25:48.000 What if Bill Gates did just walk out one day with like a MAGA hat on and he was like, I've been convinced, guys!

00:25:53.000 That's it, took me some time!

00:25:54.000 Red Pill Gates.

00:25:55.000 Yeah, he's with us.

00:25:57.000 Red Pill Gates.

00:25:58.000 He's back!

00:25:58.000 Well, this is, it's so typical though, right?

00:26:00.000 Because... Alright, so for a very long time, the left's argument was, if you cut even one penny of social welfare spending, People are going to die, you monster.

00:26:12.000 And then they said, yeah, we could just shut down the entire economy for like a year and a half.

00:26:16.000 That'll be fine.

00:26:16.000 No one's going to get hurt if we do that.

00:26:18.000 Well, now we're starting to see in a much more plain way, the ramifications of that.

00:26:23.000 And it's going to get really ugly and they're never going to take responsibility for this.

00:26:28.000 They're going to claim that this was just because of COVID and ignore the fact that it was their insane disproportionate response to it, which failed to take into account the unintended consequences.

00:26:38.000 It's just funny.

00:26:38.000 I'm imagining, you know, Joe Biden answering for all of the failures of his presidency.

00:26:42.000 And at first he's like, impassioned, like, look, you know, it was COVID, you know, unprecedented COVID.

00:26:47.000 And by the time they get to like the 87th failure, he's like, uh, that one was, um, gnomes, I guess.

00:26:54.000 I don't know.

00:26:54.000 Somebody, somebody stole my socks.

00:26:57.000 Slipped in the shower, man.

00:26:58.000 Slipped in the shower.

00:26:59.000 Major Biden's fault.

00:27:01.000 Major Biden.

00:27:02.000 Yeah, he slipped in the shower.

00:27:05.000 I just want to mention, this is, and it's insane to even have to explain this, right, but this is a consequence of putting people in charge of making decisions who will pay literally no price if those decisions turn out to be a disaster for somebody else, or if the effects of those decisions turn out to be a disaster for everybody else.

00:27:22.000 Look where we are.

00:27:23.000 Matthew was just explaining how these Democrats' offices are all closed.

00:27:27.000 They're literally on vacation, not doing their jobs.

00:27:31.000 How much do you want to bet people like Swalwell, he's going to be at a Capitol Grill in D.C.

00:27:36.000 or some Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, and then he's talking and they're laughing and he's like, He's like, waiter, another bottle of the Dom, please.

00:27:45.000 And then his phone goes, his watch goes, brrm.

00:27:47.000 And he goes, oh, I better tweet so people think that I'm actually involved in politics.

00:27:51.000 Republicans want to ban interracial marriage.

00:27:54.000 Anyway, what was I talking about?

00:27:55.000 Oh yeah, we were garfing.

00:27:57.000 Firing off a banger. 0.56

00:27:59.000 Like, they're checked out, dude.

00:28:00.000 What a hot take. 0.97

00:28:00.000 They're all checked out. 0.97

00:28:01.000 I have a great example of that, actually.

00:28:03.000 Sean Patrick Maloney, who is a Democrat in New York, who chairs the House Democrats Campaign Committee, he went to France for a wedding at a billionaire's chateau.

00:28:13.000 And while he was there, he said, mask up.

00:28:16.000 We're all in this together.

00:28:17.000 We have to defeat the virus.

00:28:18.000 He's literally partying maskless at a French billionaire's chateau, defying a State Department travel warning against going to France.

00:28:27.000 This is literally liberal governance.

00:28:29.000 It's the classic rules from even after the...

00:28:31.000 But one of the sort of storylines that I covered a lot was Democrat, mask mandate, hypocrisy,

00:28:37.000 because there are never-ending examples of this. 0.98

00:28:39.000 But this is one of the most ridiculous. 0.64

00:28:40.000 I'd give a shout out to Ted Cruz when that freeze happened and he gets on a plane to go fly to... 0.95

00:28:45.000 Cancun.

00:28:45.000 Where was he going?

00:28:46.000 And then he was like, oh, it's my daughters, my daughters.

00:28:48.000 I would have respected it, what he did, if he just owned up to it and said, I'm going on vacation.

00:28:54.000 That's happening.

00:28:54.000 That's it.

00:28:55.000 Have a nice day.

00:28:56.000 Instead, he made it seem like, oh, oh, you know, just like own it, dude.

00:29:00.000 You know, look, if you want to go on vacation, I got no problem with that.

00:29:03.000 What do you think your federally elected representative is going to do for these local issues?

00:29:07.000 I certainly think it would have been better if he was there for his constituents.

00:29:11.000 But I think the bigger issue I have with him is, Republicans aren't the ones screaming about youth wearing masks and not traveling.

00:29:18.000 It's the left who is saying, you know, travel should be restricted and you should wear a mask and do all these things. 0.95

00:29:22.000 So when Gavin Newsom says everybody has to wear a mask and then goes to that, you know, French restaurant not wearing a mask, we're like, hypocrite.

00:29:29.000 When Ted Cruz is like, if he was just like, I'm going on vacation, I'd be like, oh, okay, well, I guess, sure. 0.59

00:29:34.000 Instead, he's just like, oh, it was my daughters and I'm coming back.

00:29:39.000 You make me think about how you were just talking before the show about the crack kits.

00:29:43.000 Oh, the Biden crack pipes.

00:29:44.000 The Biden administration gave out these safe usage kits, or whatever they're called specifically.

00:29:49.000 Safe smoking kits.

00:29:49.000 And then they were like, oh, there's crack pipes in these safe smoking kits?

00:29:52.000 And they're like, no.

00:29:53.000 Biden's administration is like, no, there's no crack pipes.

00:29:57.000 But there were.

00:29:58.000 And then what happened was, behind the scenes, they're like, quick, get rid of the crack pipes!

00:30:01.000 And the people are like, well, if there's not crackpipes, then it's not a safe smoking kit because they're gonna end up using aluminum.

00:30:04.000 There's supposed to be crackpipes in there. 0.99

00:30:06.000 Why are there no crackpipes?

00:30:07.000 Turns out there were all along and they just lied.

00:30:08.000 Just like Ted Cruz on vacation.

00:30:10.000 Like, you don't need to lie to save face here.

00:30:12.000 We're all in this together.

00:30:13.000 Maybe, maybe sometimes they think they do.

00:30:16.000 Look, look, Ted Cruz going on vacation is not that big of a deal.

00:30:20.000 And it was a national news story.

00:30:22.000 It might.

00:30:23.000 Look, if I was an elected representative and there was a disaster in my district, I wouldn't go to Cancun. 0.99

00:30:28.000 But him going on vacation, it's kind of like, well, that's kind of a, you know, stupid thing to do, I guess. 0.99

00:30:33.000 That's about it. 0.96

00:30:35.000 When they realized giving out crack pipes was, like, not a popular thing to do, they just lied and said, no, we're not.

00:30:41.000 And you're like, safe smoking kits have crack pipes.

00:30:44.000 No, they don't.

00:30:45.000 They literally... No, they don't.

00:30:46.000 And then the best part was when these left-wing groups, when they said there's no crack pipes, left-wing groups came out and they were like, why are you taking the crack pipes?

00:30:55.000 And I'm just like, dude, if they came out and said, yes, there are crack pipes in the crack safe smoking kits.

00:31:01.000 Why?

00:31:02.000 Because they're clean and we're trying to limit the spread of disease.

00:31:05.000 Then when someone says, don't you think supplying these could increase the amount of, like, increase the likelihood someone does smoke crack?

00:31:13.000 The answer is it could, I guess.

00:31:15.000 I want to touch on that, though, for a second.

00:31:17.000 So these are government-funded crack pipes, and one of them—so I went to three locations, one in D.C., one in Baltimore, and one in Richmond.

00:31:25.000 None of them have any effort at prevention of saying, you know, maybe don't do this.

00:31:29.000 The Richmond one, actually, when we went there with my colleague, he and I got there.

00:31:35.000 It was a van in a hotel parking lot.

00:31:37.000 And they saw two of us walking up and they said, well, we only have one more crack pipe, but we can give you guys meth pipes and also cocaine snorting kits.

00:31:47.000 And we said, sure, we will take these things.

00:31:49.000 We'll take all three.

00:31:50.000 And they gave us a brochure and they said, we're an organization dedicated to ending the racist war on drugs.

00:31:54.000 There was nothing about how, you know, maybe you should not do this.

00:31:56.000 If you're having a problem, you should call these numbers.

00:31:58.000 But the Biden administration, yeah, after we reported on how these, the Biden administration is funding crack pipes, No, no.

00:32:05.000 they went all out against the free beacon. Normally, this would be called an attack on

00:32:08.000 the First Amendment, attack on the free press. And then they colluded with fact checkers. So

00:32:12.000 I'm actually way more blackmailed on fact checkers. I think these are some of the most useless people. 0.99

00:32:16.000 No, no, they're incredibly useful to the regime. 0.99

00:32:21.000 Yes, correct. Good point. But they are some of the worst.

00:32:24.000 They couldn't make it in real journalism.

00:32:26.000 So all they do is regurgitate talking points from the left to get articles removed from social media.

00:32:30.000 But I don't think they're journalists.

00:32:32.000 They're Democrat operatives.

00:32:32.000 Yes.

00:32:33.000 Correct.

00:32:34.000 You know, it's like, what, what, what was it?

00:32:36.000 There was, um, DeSantis said something.

00:32:38.000 What was it?

00:32:39.000 It was a fact check where he said, oh yeah, 60% of college debt is held by graduate, you know, people with graduate degrees.

00:32:46.000 And PolitiFact said it was fake news, but the source from DeSantis was the Poynter Institute, which is like the parent company of PolitiFact or something like that.

00:32:55.000 And they were like, he misunderstood.

00:32:57.000 We actually said something slightly different.

00:33:00.000 Yeah, right.

00:33:00.000 And it was like, I can't remember exactly what they said, but DeSantis simplified the

00:33:05.000 point, which they said, mostly false.

00:33:07.000 This is what they do.

00:33:10.000 The famous line from Bernie and Trump.

00:33:11.000 Trump said something like, there's 50 percent unemployment in the inner city, and they said

00:33:15.000 mostly false.

00:33:16.000 Then Bernie said the exact same thing and said mostly true.

00:33:19.000 Yeah, right.

00:33:20.000 Maybe not and maybe mean the same thing.

00:33:22.000 This actually also happened with Tom Cotton when he wrote that stimulus checks would be

00:33:27.000 received by the Boston Marathon bomber.

00:33:29.000 The Washington Post ruled this false.

00:33:31.000 And then after it was proven true that literally Joke Arts Arnaev received a $1,400 stimmy, they then said, oh, this is still one Pinocchio.

00:33:40.000 Wow.

00:33:40.000 We know this is true.

00:33:41.000 So Cotton's office went back and said, eh, it's still false.

00:33:44.000 Let's talk about why they're freaking out, though.

00:33:46.000 From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Elon Musk says that he would reverse Twitter's ban of Donald Trump.

00:33:51.000 Let me just spell this out.

00:33:53.000 It is expected in three months, Twitter will be owned wholly by Elon Musk, and he will unban Donald Trump.

00:34:02.000 That means, whether Trump intends to use the platform or not, he will be on the platform.

00:34:08.000 The account will exist, it will be verified, it will have followers, all the tweets will be there when the ban is lifted.

00:34:16.000 I think, you know, Trump will use it.

00:34:19.000 Trump said before he's going to stay on truth social.

00:34:21.000 Don't believe it.

00:34:22.000 I mean, he'll probably stay on it.

00:34:23.000 He'll probably use truth, but he's going to be on Twitter and he's going to be tweeting.

00:34:26.000 Absolutely.

00:34:27.000 And the reason this freaks them out so much, like you mentioned just a moment ago with the fact checkers, they need as much control over the narrative as possible.

00:34:35.000 And what Trump did, it used to be the journalists would get the statement from the politician and then choose how to report it.

00:34:42.000 And if you were a politician And you said something like, we'll play the game, you'll be talking to a reporter and you'll be like, I had one guy come up to me and say, I don't like, I don't like eating cheeseburgers.

00:34:56.000 And I thought it was a crazy thing to hear.

00:34:59.000 Then the newspaper article quote, I don't like cheeseburgers, says politician.

00:35:04.000 And the only thing you can do is say they're lying.

00:35:06.000 It's not true.

00:35:07.000 And how do you prove it?

00:35:08.000 With Donald Trump on Twitter, he would just tweet, cheeseburgers are delicious, it's fake news.

00:35:13.000 And then people would be like, okay, well Trump just said it.

00:35:15.000 He bypassed the narrative control, the narrative machine.

00:35:19.000 So he'll have to come back.

00:35:20.000 Remember one time he actually posted the full video of an interview he did that he said was going to be selectively edited, so he just released the entire interview before they could get the ratings from it?

00:35:29.000 What was that?

00:35:29.000 It was an ABC News interview.

00:35:31.000 Yeah, Leslie Stahl.

00:35:33.000 Yeah, I think it was the Leslie Stahl one.

00:35:34.000 He's like, yeah, by the way, we recorded the whole thing.

00:35:36.000 Here's the audio.

00:35:37.000 Here's the video.

00:35:38.000 Here's Morgan just manipulated video to make it seem like Trump got angry and stormed off.

00:35:42.000 Did you see that?

00:35:43.000 Dude, it's all just lies, man.

00:35:46.000 Since the beginning, baby.

00:35:47.000 Yeah.

00:35:48.000 That's part of why I'm very surprised when anyone does sit down with these interviewers, especially people on the right.

00:35:54.000 I can't imagine doing something like that unless you'd recorded it or were recording it and have the right to release the footage and sort of discuss that with them.

00:36:02.000 It's insane to allow them to filter you.

00:36:05.000 Yeah, you gotta have access to the media.

00:36:07.000 Like a direct line.

00:36:08.000 The technology's available.

00:36:09.000 You gotta use it.

00:36:10.000 As a politician, in general.

00:36:12.000 I don't like these things.

00:36:13.000 When they give emergency beep warnings.

00:36:15.000 You guys hear that on the audio?

00:36:16.000 Yeah.

00:36:16.000 Can you hear it?

00:36:17.000 I feel violated.

00:36:18.000 That's mine.

00:36:19.000 It's yours?

00:36:19.000 I feel violated by that.

00:36:21.000 It's definitely mine.

00:36:23.000 Yeah, my child abduction alert.

00:36:25.000 I didn't sign up for this.

00:36:26.000 If you're in Maryland, the Maryland State Police, at the request of the Carroll County Sheriffs, have issued an AMBER Alert for nine-year-old Savannah Rosetta Nicole Heaton, a white female.

00:36:35.000 The child's clothing description is unknown.

00:36:37.000 The child was last observed at approximately 6 p.m.

00:36:39.000 in the Westminster area of Carroll County.

00:36:41.000 The child may also be in the Baltimore area.

00:36:45.000 Well, I don't... Thank you for pointing that out.

00:36:47.000 That helps a lot of people.

00:36:48.000 Well, exactly.

00:36:49.000 I figured if we're getting the alert right now and there's somebody in the area, we just blast that message out there.

00:36:53.000 Hopefully it helps.

00:36:54.000 Yeah, I don't want these creepos getting these kids. 1.00

00:36:56.000 Okay, alright.

00:36:57.000 Well, anyway, what were we talking about?

00:36:58.000 The importance of media.

00:36:59.000 Going around, you were saying people need to have access to... people have to be able to get out.

00:37:05.000 Yes, and it should not be mandated, but like, how long should a politician have to listen to people every day?

00:37:09.000 Two hours?

00:37:10.000 But in order to clarify what people say about you, you've got to have vocal access to the masses, unfettered.

00:37:10.000 I don't know.

00:37:16.000 Well, that's why shows like this, shows like Rogan, are such a threat to journalists.

00:37:19.000 And you really saw this with the coordinated assault on Joe Rogan in particular, because he is the most listened to person in the Northern Hemisphere, right?

00:37:28.000 He, his show was displaced recently from the number one spot.

00:37:32.000 Yeah?

00:37:32.000 Batman took over.

00:37:33.000 Batman beat him.

00:37:33.000 Yeah, Batman beat him.

00:37:35.000 It's a Batman podcast or what?

00:37:37.000 Yeah, it's a Batman podcast.

00:37:38.000 Oh my god.

00:37:38.000 It's like a weird Batman podcast or something.

00:37:40.000 Which Batman is it?

00:37:41.000 Is it Robert Pattinson?

00:37:43.000 The Lego Batman?

00:37:45.000 I don't know, Seamus, which Batman is it?

00:37:47.000 Why would I know?

00:37:47.000 I have no idea.

00:37:48.000 I don't know, because you sounded like you knew it.

00:37:50.000 You look the most like Robert Pattinson of anyone in this room.

00:37:52.000 Oh my gosh, how dare you! 0.82

00:37:54.000 It's called Batman the Audio Adventures.

00:37:56.000 Oh my god.

00:37:57.000 Scripted podcast from DC Entertainment.

00:37:59.000 Hey, that sounds fun.

00:38:00.000 A lot of zealots out there.

00:38:01.000 Wait until they pull out Bruce Wayne's old tweets, and they'll just take that show immediately.

00:38:04.000 I mean, you're driving in your car, and you want to listen to something?

00:38:08.000 Yeah, but not Joe Rogan.

00:38:09.000 It's Batman.

00:38:10.000 But wait until Batman becomes a threat to the establishment.

00:38:13.000 Batman's just like, vote for Trump.

00:38:15.000 I'm pretty sure Batman was a threat to the establishment.

00:38:17.000 Exactly, but not right now.

00:38:19.000 I mean, look, they're letting him be number one on Spotify.

00:38:21.000 Nah, Batman wasn't a threat to the establishment.

00:38:23.000 He would go up on the roof of the police building and collude with the police on everything.

00:38:27.000 Some of the police.

00:38:27.000 Look, that's back when the police were doing their job, probably.

00:38:31.000 I think they got them.

00:38:31.000 They were crooked!

00:38:32.000 Some of them, not the ones he was talking to.

00:38:34.000 Because we're having a Harvey Dent in the dark night.

00:38:36.000 True.

00:38:36.000 It's true.

00:38:37.000 Gordon was awesome, though.

00:38:38.000 Yeah, he was a good dude.

00:38:39.000 To this day.

00:38:41.000 What's his name?

00:38:41.000 Gordon.

00:38:42.000 Is that his first name?

00:38:43.000 Jim Gordon.

00:38:44.000 Officer Gordon.

00:38:46.000 Elon Musk is not like Batman.

00:38:48.000 He's like Iron Man.

00:38:49.000 Which brings us back to Elon Musk.

00:38:51.000 Taking control of Twitter.

00:38:54.000 I can't wait for all the brilliant think pieces about what a threat it is to democracy to allow Donald Trump on Twitter.

00:39:00.000 Can't wait for them to light up their Biden-given crackpipes.

00:39:03.000 That's why I was saying before, the system has crumbled and collapsed already.

00:39:08.000 It's fake outrage.

00:39:09.000 It's the weirdest thing.

00:39:12.000 You know what?

00:39:12.000 I'm going to stop right there.

00:39:14.000 It's simple.

00:39:15.000 If you are on the right, you know the left's arguments.

00:39:20.000 You've engaged with them.

00:39:21.000 If you are on the left, most likely you have not heard the right-wing argument and you have not engaged with them.

00:39:26.000 I would tell you, I think what they think the right-wing argument is, is that, and I don't want to derail the conversation in religion, but it's that Jesus' mother got impregnated by a ghost.

00:39:35.000 The Holy Spirit.

00:39:35.000 You're putting it in an intentionally belittling way.

00:39:38.000 Exactly, this is what they think.

00:39:40.000 People that you and other people on the right view it seriously.

00:39:42.000 You're telling me what I think and you're describing it in the most belittling way.

00:39:44.000 This is how they view the right, is that they believe that a girl got impregnated by a spirit.

00:39:49.000 And so how can we take that seriously?

00:39:51.000 How can I take that seriously?

00:39:52.000 It's beyond that.

00:39:54.000 So you think a belief that Mary was impregnated via the Holy Spirit is why the left doesn't like the right?

00:40:00.000 Am I understanding that properly?

00:40:02.000 The dismissal of the argument?

00:40:04.000 I think, Ian, I understand what you're trying to say, but I think you're being actually too... What's the word?

00:40:11.000 You're being... You're giving them... You're being too generous.

00:40:14.000 The left wouldn't say, Mary was impregnated by a ghost.

00:40:17.000 They would say, the right are a bunch of Bronze Age crackpots who believe an old fictional tale of T.S. 0.70

00:40:23.000 I just picked that as one thing that I'm like, what?

00:40:25.000 Okay, let's talk about it.

00:40:26.000 But it spirals into like, oh, and then they're crazy about this, and this, and this, and this.

00:40:29.000 You're definitely wrong, Ian, because they would also say that men can get pregnant.

00:40:33.000 So, you know, it's not just a woman got pregnant, you'd be a birthing person, you know, all of these sorts of things.

00:40:36.000 It does bring up abortion, a topic about abortion and holy conceptions.

00:40:40.000 There's a meme, and it says, my religion says I can't do this, so I won't.

00:40:46.000 And they say, that's good for you.

00:40:47.000 And they say, my religion says you can't do this. 0.54

00:40:49.000 And they say, F off.

00:40:51.000 And that's the argument they've been using for Roe v. Wade, because they've never actually asked a pro-lifer what's their position.

00:40:56.000 They then say on Twitter, Republicans are engaged in fake outrage.

00:41:00.000 I look at that, and I'm like, that's really weird, because, you know, we talk to so many people on the right on this show, we've heard their arguments articulated.

00:41:09.000 We've heard the left articulate their arguments, but their arguments are based on not knowing what the right's arguments are, and they don't come on the show.

00:41:16.000 Shout out to Daryl Davis, who we had on the show.

00:41:19.000 A lot of people were not happy with things he had to say, but he did say something very important.

00:41:23.000 He was invited to a dinner.

00:41:24.000 with the far right and the far left, whatever that means.

00:41:28.000 And he said, you know, clan members and Nazis all showed up.

00:41:31.000 And then when he got to this dinner to have a conversation, he was the only person from the left who showed up.

00:41:36.000 They don't engage. They don't know what the right thinks.

00:41:40.000 They're not arguing anything.

00:41:42.000 I think, oh, I think it's a type of dismissal.

00:41:44.000 Like, they don't take it seriously because of the religion stuff.

00:41:47.000 No, no, no, no.

00:41:48.000 I mean, I'm trying to figure it out like everybody else, but that's kind of where I'm at.

00:41:48.000 I think that's what it is.

00:41:51.000 No, they say, don't platform.

00:41:53.000 Don't, you legitimize it.

00:41:54.000 I think the real issue is, I was in, what was I in?

00:41:58.000 San Bernardino.

00:41:59.000 There was a protest.

00:42:00.000 Trump supporters were protesting.

00:42:02.000 So Antifa shows up.

00:42:04.000 I walk over to the leftist side, where they're all protesting, and I saw people standing around, and I walked over and was like, I was like, hey, how's it going, guys?

00:42:11.000 Then all of a sudden, someone yells, Mike, check!

00:42:13.000 And then the entire group goes, Mike, check!

00:42:15.000 And they go, do not, do not, everyone repeats it, talk to, talk to anyone, anyone, they will try, they will try to confuse you, to confuse you.

00:42:28.000 And then I was like, Does anybody want to tell me what to do?

00:42:30.000 Mike! 0.69

00:42:31.000 Mike! 0.69

00:42:31.000 Check! 0.69

00:42:32.000 Mike! 0.69

00:42:32.000 Check! 0.69

00:42:33.000 Mike! 0.69

00:42:33.000 And then they chant for about 30 seconds to a minute, and I'm like, okay, and I walk off. 0.69

00:42:37.000 I'm not exaggerating.

00:42:38.000 They did this at Occupy Wall Street.

00:42:40.000 It is a tactic of leftist organizers to prevent the regular people there from hearing anything someone might have to say.

00:42:47.000 Now, that's a mob.

00:42:48.000 Mobs, for sure, are near impossible to communicate with of any mindset. 1.00

00:42:52.000 But if you just get a one-on-one conversation with two people, one from the left and one from the right, I think that if you come to a middle ground, the religion might be part of it.

00:43:01.000 I certainly think so for some people, that they don't understand.

00:43:05.000 But the core is, they don't understand.

00:43:08.000 So I was in Berkeley after one of the big protests, and I was standing on a street corner filming, and I was talking to some guy, when a leftist woman came up and started pushing back on the things that were being said.

00:43:20.000 So I turn around, holding my camera, and she started saying things.

00:43:25.000 And I was like, a woman?

00:43:27.000 Was shoved off, she was standing like two feet off the ground on a light post, standing on like the base of it.

00:43:32.000 And someone shoved her and she fell down, hit her head and got blood everywhere.

00:43:35.000 And she was like, yeah, well she shouldn't have shown up here.

00:43:38.000 And then I was like, you think she shouldn't have allowed to be here?

00:43:41.000 And she's like, she's a Trump supporter?

00:43:43.000 And she knew coming here would get her attacked?

00:43:45.000 And then I was like, really?

00:43:48.000 So do you think if like a woman wore provocative clothing and was walking down this alley and she got attacked by some guy because of the way she looked, that's her fault too?

00:43:55.000 And she was like, Yeah, I think so.

00:43:59.000 And then I was like, okay.

00:44:01.000 And then after I was like, well, thank you and have a nice day.

00:44:04.000 She walks away and about a minute later, she comes back and says, delete that footage, delete it.

00:44:08.000 And I was like, I'm standing on a public street and you talk to me, I'm going to use it.

00:44:12.000 Now, I don't try to dox people or anything, so I blurred her face.

00:44:15.000 Because the idea is what's most important.

00:44:18.000 I don't need people going after this random woman who was talking to me on the street. 1.00

00:44:20.000 The point was, when this woman from the protest was by herself, and decided to speak up, she had no idea what her positions were, and she actually agreed with blaming women who get assaulted for the way they dress.

00:44:33.000 The video's on my TimCast channel somewhere, you can find it.

00:44:36.000 That's the gist of the conversation.

00:44:38.000 I think when you go to these protests, Having been to many of them, these people don't know anything.

00:44:45.000 I'll tell you my favorite.

00:44:46.000 My favorite was Antica Pitalista.

00:44:49.000 During Occupy Wall Street, when they would go, ah, auntie, Antica Pitalista.

00:44:55.000 And then I saw a guy, and he's going, bah, dagay, abida nida bisto.

00:45:01.000 And I was like, hey, what are you chanting?

00:45:02.000 He was like, oh, I just, you know, I don't know.

00:45:05.000 I'm like, you don't know what you're saying.

00:45:06.000 Nobody knew what was being chanted except for the organizers.

00:45:10.000 So when they're screaming anti-capitalist, and these other people who just showed up because they saw it on social media or the news, and they're just muttering and mumbling, that's my experience with these protests.

00:45:21.000 It's a religion.

00:45:22.000 It's like they're going to church and just trying to follow the guy's teachings without knowing what he's saying.

00:45:26.000 I think that's unfair, because having also been to churches, the people have books where they can read the words as they're being said.

00:45:35.000 Churches are much more organized, that's for sure.

00:45:37.000 I developed this theory when I was in college.

00:45:39.000 I went to the University of Chicago where Bernie Sanders went, and there's a famous picture of him getting arrested protesting as a college student.

00:45:47.000 He looks exactly the same as he does now.

00:45:49.000 And he was protesting the school had segregated housing, and so he was arrested protesting this.

00:45:54.000 and that's a good thing to protest. Now the problem is for students who are there now,

00:45:58.000 there's nothing on that level of things to protest about, but they still want to get that photo of

00:46:04.000 them being arrested. So the president of the University of Chicago, the student president,

00:46:08.000 when I was there one year, he chained himself to a building in downtown Chicago because he was

00:46:12.000 demanding, right after Trump won, he was demanding that our Democratic senators Dick Durbin and Tammy

00:46:16.000 Duckworth vote against the confirmation of Betsy DeVos for education secretary, which they did,

00:46:21.000 and they were always going to do. He got arrested, he got the photo, he literally looks like a limp

00:46:25.000 noodle. So it's not like, you know, Bernie was looking resolute, this guy looks totally pathetic. 1.00

00:46:29.000 He gets arrested, held overnight, and then I hear him the next day telling his leftist activist 0.96

00:46:34.000 friends about this, and I said to him, oh this sounds a lot like white privilege, you just got

00:46:38.000 arrested and just you're completely back out on the street next week, or the next day, and he said,

00:46:44.000 No, no, no.

00:46:45.000 It's not.

00:46:46.000 Every activist wants that. 0.99

00:46:47.000 The left is all about Instagram.

00:46:49.000 That's all they care about, is getting that Instagram story, the Instagram infographic.

00:46:52.000 So being there in that protest is what matters, not actually what they're saying.

00:46:56.000 So I remember we talk about the algorithmic problem on YouTube where Hitler was doing Tai Chi with the Incredible Hulk because people were just trying to find ways to make viral content.

00:47:08.000 Because of politics, the virality of it, because of COVID and because of politics as pop culture, we are now seeing young people Claiming to be strategists or involved in politics because they know it is a path to virality.

00:47:25.000 So there's this guy who's going viral now with a bunch of videos where he just like looks at the camera all angry and furled and he's like, it is a violation of federal law to commit perjury!

00:47:36.000 Merrick Garland!

00:47:37.000 What?

00:47:38.000 And the right makes him go viral.

00:47:40.000 Conservatives start posting out like, haha, look at this guy, and it's working.

00:47:43.000 So this dude is getting made fun of. The left then sees that and they're like,

00:47:47.000 we're going to prop this guy up because the right's targeting him and he's calling for

00:47:50.000 the arrest of people we don't like. What's going to happen in 10 or 15 years when politics is all

00:47:55.000 just reality TV? It is going to be worse than idiocracy.

00:47:59.000 You think President Camacho was bad?

00:48:01.000 Camacho was a good dude. You guys, you've seen the actors, right? Camacho might, might've been.

00:48:05.000 Shout out to Terry Crews.

00:48:06.000 He was a good, if you watch Idiocracy, he was actually trying to help people.

00:48:11.000 He was a nice guy and he was, he was just not smart.

00:48:13.000 Now we're going to have something worse.

00:48:15.000 Donald Trump was the beginning of reality TV politics.

00:48:18.000 You are going to see it be the most insane YouTube drama, TikTok drama, politics you've ever seen. 0.76

00:48:27.000 And then people are going to start punching each other in the face.

00:48:29.000 I remember the YouTube CNN debates in 2008.

00:48:32.000 We talked a lot about it in YouTube videos at the time.

00:48:34.000 Like, hey, guys, we have the technology.

00:48:36.000 Let's interact with our public officials now.

00:48:39.000 Let's do this for real and let the world see.

00:48:41.000 And so CNN got involved all of a sudden.

00:48:43.000 Now CNN's curating what questions get asked.

00:48:46.000 So, you know, I send a question about the Federal Reserve to Barack Obama because I want to hear what he thinks about it for real.

00:48:50.000 And they don't use that question.

00:48:52.000 They use questions like real, real surface level.

00:48:55.000 reality TV twist to politics. That was like the beginning.

00:48:55.000 That's not true.

00:48:58.000 And then of course Trump got elected in 2016. And what's the biggest problem,

00:49:02.000 one of the biggest problems I'm seeing is when you get into Congress you

00:49:05.000 become famous and then your Twitter account goes huge forever. That's not true. They

00:49:10.000 all know who every every congressperson that I've have heard their name I go

00:49:13.000 to Twitter they have a million or more subscribers. That's because you've

00:49:16.000 Yeah. Every musician I've heard of has so many followers.

00:49:16.000 heard their name.

00:49:20.000 They can leave Congress and now they're famous and they can get a book deal and have followers that'll send them five bucks a month.

00:49:24.000 How many members of Congress are there?

00:49:25.000 400 and something?

00:49:27.000 435, right?

00:49:27.000 435?

00:49:29.000 Can you name 20 of them?

00:49:31.000 Probably, if you gave me some time.

00:49:32.000 Are you a fan of Congress?

00:49:33.000 Name 20 of them.

00:49:35.000 Name 20 congressmen to be allowed in.

00:49:37.000 Obviously, we all know who Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is, but the rank and file members?

00:49:42.000 Sure, sir.

00:49:44.000 Name a member of Congress from Iowa.

00:49:47.000 One of them just endorsed my campaign, Marionette Miller-Meeks.

00:49:47.000 Oh, I can't.

00:49:50.000 Oh, he knows it!

00:49:51.000 I worked at the House Republican Super PAC before this, so Iowa's congressional delegation is Marionette Miller-Meeks, Cindy Axne, the lone Democrat, Ashley Hinson, and Randy Feenstra.

00:50:01.000 Cindy Axne is the lone Democrat representing the state of Iowa.

00:50:04.000 Her office in Des Moines is completely closed to her constituents, just as I reported at the Free Beacon.

00:50:10.000 Those are the four members of Congress from Iowa.

00:50:13.000 Name the member of Congress who represents this district we're in.

00:50:17.000 Oh, dude, that's not how I think.

00:50:19.000 I just know the reality TV stars.

00:50:20.000 But you get my point.

00:50:21.000 Even the member of Congress for the district we're in right now is not famous.

00:50:27.000 It's the ones that are making big news because they're being crazy.

00:50:30.000 They're like Loudmouth, Elizabeth Warren, you know, Cortez, Ted Cruz.

00:50:35.000 That's a vacant district because the member had to resign.

00:50:38.000 That was Jeff Fordenberry.

00:50:39.000 It will now be Mike Flood.

00:50:40.000 Oh, interesting.

00:50:41.000 Well, I'm just pulling up random districts.

00:50:43.000 Well, this is what I do for fun.

00:50:45.000 Pull up random districts?

00:50:46.000 Well, no, I just know random members of Congress.

00:50:47.000 So Nebraska's delegation, Don Bacon from Nebraska's 2nd district, he has also endorsed my campaign.

00:50:53.000 And then the 3rd one is Jeff Fortenberry, resigned.

00:50:56.000 And then Lee Terry is the other one.

00:51:00.000 I'm blanking on the 3rd district right now.

00:51:01.000 But Nebraska's, no, there is no 5th district.

00:51:03.000 It's just 3.

00:51:04.000 There's no 5th?

00:51:04.000 Not anymore.

00:51:06.000 Oh, interesting.

00:51:06.000 So there's only 3 now?

00:51:07.000 Yeah, 3.

00:51:08.000 Okay.

00:51:09.000 But what I'm seeing is like a race. 0.76

00:51:12.000 It's a race from some of these people to become, to make news so that they become famous so that they get Twitter followers on their personal account.

00:51:19.000 And that becomes just about sensationalism.

00:51:20.000 R plus 30.

00:51:22.000 I disagree.

00:51:24.000 Most members of Congress you've never heard of.

00:51:26.000 Yeah, but I think that there's an incentive for people to go kind of haywire and make a big splash in a scene and like spectacle so that they get famous so that they have a parachute in case they leave Congress.

00:51:35.000 Here's a great example of that is Jamie Raskin in Maryland who's always on MSNBC.

00:51:40.000 That's sort of what he's there to do.

00:51:41.000 If you have a problem and you're a constituent of his and you go to his office in Rockville, it's closed.

00:51:46.000 It's locked.

00:51:47.000 I reported on this.

00:51:48.000 When I went in the middle of the day, there was a note jammed in the doorframe from someone who tried to access their representative and said, Hey, Congressman Raskin, you know, I'd like to meet with your office about something.

00:51:57.000 I went on a Friday morning at 11 a.m.

00:51:59.000 Straight up.

00:51:59.000 No one there.

00:52:00.000 I rang the doorbell like 20 times.

00:52:01.000 Completely empty.

00:52:02.000 Let's talk about this district here, actually.

00:52:04.000 Oh, yeah.

00:52:05.000 So we got Matthew here, Matthew Foldy, and you're running in Maryland's 6th congressional district.

00:52:10.000 You're running as a Republican.

00:52:12.000 And you're in the primary, which is... July 19th, 70 days away.

00:52:12.000 Of course.

00:52:16.000 So check this out.

00:52:17.000 This was one of the most interesting things that we saw.

00:52:19.000 So actually, I don't... Is there a way that we can zoom in on this?

00:52:23.000 Yeah, here we go.

00:52:23.000 So this is the... I zoomed in, pulled up the current... This is the current district map, right?

00:52:29.000 This is for this election, yeah.

00:52:31.000 All right, let's do this.

00:52:33.000 From 2013 to 2023, here's what you can see that's really interesting.

00:52:37.000 This whole grayed out area of Western Maryland, which is the, it's called the Panhandle, right?

00:52:42.000 Yep.

00:52:43.000 It is overwhelmingly MAGA country. 0.71

00:52:46.000 You drive out through here, all these places, it is MAGA country.

00:52:49.000 There are some areas where you'll see some progressive stuff.

00:52:52.000 You know, you've got like, I think, oh no, that's West Virginia.

00:52:54.000 West Virginia.

00:52:54.000 But there's certain areas where it's like right next to, like there's some cities- And there are some colleges.

00:52:59.000 Right, so take a look at this.

00:53:01.000 Look right here.

00:53:02.000 Look at this weird carve out.

00:53:04.000 Frederick is very Democrat, but outside of it, typically, like in any suburb, you'll see more conservative, more Republican.

00:53:13.000 So this is what it was from 2013 till 2023.

00:53:17.000 But from 2023, it has been, that's all they did.

00:53:20.000 All they did was put back the suburbs into the exact same space.

00:53:24.000 And guess what happened?

00:53:25.000 Tell them what happened.

00:53:26.000 Well, now it's a Republican district, and you guys have never heard of the Democrat, David Trone, right there, who represents this place because he literally does not show up for work.

00:53:34.000 His offices have been closed for two years.

00:53:37.000 He does not live in this district.

00:53:38.000 He does not vote in this district.

00:53:40.000 While all of his taxpayer-funded constituent offices in Allegheny, Washington, Frederick, and Montgomery counties are closed and locked, mail piling up gathering dust. He literally hosted Joe

00:53:50.000 Biden at his mansion in Potomac for a fundraiser last night. No masks in person. So it's

00:53:55.000 too dangerous for him to do the job we pay him for. But he can host lavish fundraisers for the

00:54:00.000 ticket cost went up to thousands and thousands of dollars. But God forbid he show up and

00:54:05.000 actually represent the people of Western Maryland. So this is the crazy thing. This district, the

00:54:10.000 bulk of its population from 2013 to 2023 was the DC

00:54:14.000 suburbs, which is Democrat.

00:54:17.000 Absolutely.

00:54:18.000 After they decided to put the Frederick suburbs back in, it's now a Republican district, but it still includes the D.C.

00:54:25.000 suburbs.

00:54:25.000 Less of them.

00:54:26.000 Less of them.

00:54:27.000 But I think that's fascinating how gerrymandering works like that.

00:54:32.000 They put in a tiny piece of D.C.

00:54:35.000 suburbs, cut out Frederick suburbs, and boom, you got a Democrat district.

00:54:39.000 Maryland Democrats in the past 20 years have surgically eliminated Republican after Republican after Republican from Congress.

00:54:45.000 Maryland, you all think of this as a Democratic stronghold.

00:54:47.000 In 2000, Maryland had four Democrats in Congress and four Republicans.

00:54:51.000 Then they eliminated two via gerrymandering after the 2000 election.

00:54:55.000 And he doesn't even live here?

00:54:56.000 rosco Bartlett who represented this area of Western Maryland for decades.

00:55:00.000 John Delaney wins, Dan Bongino almost beats him in 2014, then David Trone comes in in

00:55:04.000 2018 and he's been representing this area since then.

00:55:07.000 And he doesn't even live here?

00:55:08.000 He doesn't even live in the district.

00:55:10.000 You know...

00:55:11.000 He's never voted for himself.

00:55:12.000 He's so bad.

00:55:13.000 He has never voted for himself in an election that he has won.

00:55:16.000 Wow.

00:55:17.000 Well, I guess he won't be representing this district by the end of the year because you're

00:55:20.000 running.

00:55:21.000 And I gotta tell you, man, having worked out here for so long, my residence is in West Virginia.

00:55:26.000 We're setting up the new headquarters.

00:55:28.000 It's already under construction with some operations in West Virginia as we speak.

00:55:33.000 And we're planning on totally relocating everything because Maryland is apocalyptically bad for business.

00:55:39.000 That's just the easiest way to put it.

00:55:41.000 It saddens me.

00:55:42.000 There's so much potential here, and you see it all around us right here, but the Democrats in Annapolis are hell-bent on ruining the advantages that we do have in this state.

00:55:49.000 The people who live around here, there's like, it's relatively sparsely populated, but I just keep hearing from everybody they don't want to be here anymore.

00:55:56.000 Yeah.

00:55:56.000 Because these are, the people who live in western Maryland, it is MAGA country.

00:56:01.000 It is outright MAGA country.

00:56:02.000 Like, the things I've heard from some of the locals out here, I'm kind of like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:56:06.000 Calm down.

00:56:06.000 Like, wow.

00:56:07.000 You know, just the things they talk about, talk about Democrats.

00:56:10.000 And so now I'm hearing they're just like, it's time to move.

00:56:13.000 West Virginia is a hop, skip and a jump away.

00:56:16.000 And West Virginia supports Trump and supports freedom and liberty and the constitution, but not Maryland.

00:56:20.000 And they gut your business.

00:56:22.000 It's just, it's absolutely insane.

00:56:24.000 They don't want you to be here.

00:56:25.000 This is because they're, they're legislating for the East part of Maryland, like the DC suburbs, but then everyone's getting hit by the legislation.

00:56:34.000 Not necessarily.

00:56:34.000 I mean, I was surprised to find out the people who choose to live in Annapolis, in Eastern Maryland, I'm just like, why?

00:56:45.000 The taxes are insane.

00:56:48.000 Why would you choose to live here?

00:56:51.000 I just don't know.

00:56:52.000 It's unfortunate.

00:56:52.000 I mean, Maryland is, you know...

00:56:54.000 Anyone from Maryland will tell you we have the best state flag, and we're probably the best state.

00:56:58.000 But look, Democrats here are awful, as they are in most places when they're in charge.

00:57:03.000 And so we have incredibly important elections for state legislature in Maryland this year, for governor this year, for Congress this year.

00:57:10.000 We finally have a chance of at least getting on the federal level representation, literally, that actually will show up and listen to Western Maryland.

00:57:17.000 And this part, I mean, this part of the state, everything west of Frederick in particular, is a complete afterthought to the Democratic Party.

00:57:23.000 So when I've been out there, people are astonished that someone who is running for office on a federal level, A, is a Republican, and B, actually shows up to listen to them.

00:57:32.000 Well, do they know that the redistricting has created a Republican?

00:57:35.000 No, and it's so important to tell them because for the past 10 years, they've had no vote that actually matters.

00:57:40.000 And now I'm saying, look, you guys actually have, this primary is incredibly consequential.

00:57:44.000 You guys can send someone to Washington who will actually show up, investigate the Biden administration, force accountability, and listen to you and help you with the problems that you guys have.

00:57:52.000 Were you like, when you were a reporter, before you were a reporter, did you get inspired at some point to get involved in the process?

00:57:58.000 Or was that something you'd wanted to do before?

00:58:00.000 I've been involved in Maryland politics since I was in high school.

00:58:03.000 I didn't really see myself running, but I heard from all of the candidates who are running against David Trone because I am the vice president of my county Young Republicans now, and none of them even talk about Trone.

00:58:17.000 And I worked at the House Republican Super PAC prior to becoming a journalist for two years, and I know that Republican candidates have to lead the way on making issues about the Democrats, and everyone else in this race doesn't even mention Trone's name.

00:58:30.000 on their website.

00:58:30.000 Meanwhile, I'm going through thousands of pages of legal documents that's going to show a whole mess of problems for him that we need to inform voters.

00:58:37.000 I've found that if you complain about the other person, it gives free press to them.

00:58:43.000 Hillary spent way too much time talking about Trump.

00:58:44.000 That's why he won.

00:58:45.000 If she just talked about what she wanted and what was going to do and then create the story about her, that's the key.

00:58:50.000 Yeah, you know what you do is you have a debate and you don't invite the incumbent.

00:58:55.000 Well, he probably won't show up anyway, or if he does, it'll be on Zoom.

00:58:57.000 Just have a little... No, just don't invite him.

00:58:59.000 I'd love to see you guys debate.

00:58:59.000 Don't invite him.

00:59:00.000 You get a different Democrat, and then people will be like, that's the Democrat.

00:59:03.000 Maybe you guys can come on the show together.

00:59:04.000 I'd love it.

00:59:05.000 I mean, look, you're currently David Trone's constituent, and he doesn't know it, and you didn't know it.

00:59:09.000 But we should do a debate right now.

00:59:10.000 We already have an empty chair.

00:59:12.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:59:13.000 I don't live in the district, but we work in the district.

00:59:15.000 And the district, the state, just is constantly just... I feel like the state of Maryland is just whacking us with a switch over and over again, saying, Get out!

00:59:26.000 Get out of our state!

00:59:26.000 Get out!

00:59:27.000 And I'm like, okay, stop, jeez, okay.

00:59:29.000 You gotta grab that stick.

00:59:31.000 No, just leave.

00:59:32.000 Then it's double possession, dual possession.

00:59:33.000 Yeah.

00:59:34.000 You just gotta avoid the stick.

00:59:35.000 So you're gonna repeal the NFA if you get the chance?

00:59:37.000 Which is the NFA?

00:59:38.000 The National Fire Army?

00:59:39.000 Oh, I hope so.

00:59:39.000 I mean, any bill that has anything to do with guns is almost always going to be bad.

00:59:45.000 Unless it's a bill to mandate everyone get a free gun.

00:59:48.000 That would be great.

00:59:49.000 That would be a mandate that actually is good.

00:59:51.000 But with the supply chain crisis we have right now, we probably would not be getting this.

00:59:53.000 What are some of your ideas like?

00:59:55.000 Do you have ideas going in?

00:59:56.000 Things that you can actually do?

00:59:57.000 And I'm not super familiar with the process, so tell me about it.

01:00:00.000 So look, we're going to take the House back, take the Senate back, and then we're stuck with Biden for the next two years.

01:00:05.000 So to me, as I envision the first term, it is laying the groundwork for a Republican president to win.

01:00:12.000 And a lot of that means doing actual oversight of the Biden administration.

01:00:16.000 In my reporting, I've actually led to multiple investigations into both the energy department and the commerce department and the border.

01:00:23.000 So to me, I sort of think of this as cutting out the middleman.

01:00:26.000 I already know sort of at least the initial places of where to look for where there's smoke, there's fire, and it's, you know, green energy.

01:00:34.000 It is the border and things like that.

01:00:36.000 So I want to do actual meaningful oversight with consequence.

01:00:39.000 And going back to your point about the media, The reason I think that liberals don't really know conservative arguments is because they can go their whole lives without meeting any of us.

01:00:48.000 So I went to an event in Silver Spring, which is very liberal in Montgomery County, when I was a reporter, where the Secretary of Energy, whose corruption I've been exposing going back basically since becoming a reporter, And there was a whole crew of journalists.

01:01:00.000 There was an event to promote a house with solar panels.

01:01:02.000 And so after the event was over, I walk up to the energy secretary. 0.66

01:01:05.000 I said, Secretary Granholm, great to meet you.

01:01:07.000 I'm a reporter, so she automatically assumes I'm liberal.

01:01:09.000 I'm very young, so she assumes I'm liberal.

01:01:11.000 And I said, hey, I just wanted to know, who is that mystery buyer that you sold 242,000 shares of non-private Proterra stock for a self-disclosed profit of $1.6 million?

01:01:21.000 Her staff was on me like it was nobody's business.

01:01:25.000 And they whisked her away.

01:01:26.000 And this is awesome reporting I've done.

01:01:27.000 Basically, she owned millions of dollars as energy secretary of a private company that she and the Biden administration was promoting while she was in charge of that exact industry.

01:01:38.000 So my reporting forced her to liquidate her shares a couple of weeks before the company went public, which cost her tens of millions of dollars.

01:01:48.000 So this is the sort of thing we actually should be doing.

01:01:50.000 And if this had been a Trump administration official, you guys would know exactly what I'm talking about.

01:01:54.000 But my point is, I showed up.

01:01:56.000 I think that Democrats assume that conservatives and conservative journalists in particular, like, don't exist.

01:02:02.000 And we just sort of dwell in basements on the internet and that we don't actually appear in the wild.

01:02:07.000 Because when you see the journalists who are interacting with the White House, with members of Congress, they're all just, as you said, Ian, Democratic Party activists, not actual journalists or truth seekers.

01:02:19.000 I have a question for you.

01:02:21.000 When you get elected, would you vote to impeach Joe Biden?

01:02:26.000 I don't think impeachment is good, especially because we'd get Kamala running the show, and that would be bad. 0.99

01:02:33.000 Yeah, but I mean, I guess my issue with that is, do you just let someone get away with illicit activities because someone else might be worse?

01:02:43.000 Or do you just say, we have to uphold the law regardless of the outcome?

01:02:47.000 I kind of like the latter more.

01:02:48.000 I don't, I mean, after we saw Democrats basically waste two years of the Trump presidency trying to impeach him twice, I'm not really convinced it's that effective a thing to do.

01:03:00.000 I'd much rather expose corruption and sort of see where that goes.

01:03:04.000 But yeah, I think after seeing how destructive impeachment is, I mean, there's no doubt the Biden administration is lawless and has been promoting lawless activity since he was a presidential candidate.

01:03:13.000 I don't know how effective a use of our time that is.

01:03:16.000 So, before he becomes president, or in the previous administration, Hunter Biden is on the board of an energy company.

01:03:26.000 He's getting $83,000 a month, it's been reported.

01:03:28.000 Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor, was investigating Mykolas Lachevsky, the founder of Burisma.

01:03:34.000 I believe there are around a dozen or so active investigations.

01:03:37.000 Some were, like, temporarily suspended or on hold, but they existed.

01:03:40.000 Matthew Taibbi reported that, so fact-check me on that one, because I may have the numbers wrong.

01:03:45.000 Joe Biden comes in after an email was sent between one of these consulting firms, and then he tells the president to fire the prosecutor, otherwise he's going to withhold a billion dollars in aid from the U.S.

01:03:59.000 government, which he doesn't have the authority to do.

01:04:01.000 So Joe Biden is doing what is very obvious, and most people believe should be investigated.

01:04:07.000 Donald Trump said, take a look into this, and what happened?

01:04:09.000 They impeached him for it.

01:04:11.000 Now, as president, Joe Biden, over the past three months, has been asking for tens of billions of dollars to be given to Ukraine.

01:04:20.000 This is, in my opinion, evidence of malfeasance.

01:04:25.000 Sure enough, I mean, I get it, Ukraine's at war, but how fascinating that the guy who's asking for favors, who's got his kid running these businesses with Burisma, is now all of a sudden using taxpayer funds for a non-ally, non-NATO, non-EU nation in their conflict.

01:04:42.000 This dude is, in my opinion, committing very, very serious and obvious crimes.

01:04:47.000 Should he be at least be investigated?

01:04:48.000 Which dude?

01:04:49.000 Joe Biden?

01:04:50.000 Oh, and his son!

01:04:53.000 I mean, yes, we obviously have to look into any possible corruption.

01:05:01.000 I think he's being beached.

01:05:03.000 My opinion on it is that he's stealing money from the taxpayer to pay off his buddies, and that's what he's been doing since the beginning of this whole operation.

01:05:11.000 I think that, I mean, we need to actually investigate any corruption, whether it is

01:05:16.000 in the Biden family. And some of the reporting I did was also on other people you've never heard

01:05:19.000 of, like Joe Kiani, who is, Biden has said in one of his speeches in 2015, this is one of my

01:05:24.000 closest friends, he is given millions of dollars to Biden ventures, whether it was the Biden

01:05:29.000 Institute at Penn, whether it was the Biden Super PAC, the Biden presidential campaign,

01:05:33.000 oh, lo and behold, his company is getting millions of dollars of federal contracts from

01:05:36.000 the Biden administration, and he's on a prestigious Biden board for science and technology advisors.

01:05:43.000 So I think that a lot of the corruption that I've reported and that my colleagues at the Free Beacon have reported on would, again, be national news.

01:05:51.000 Like, Joe Kiani would be a national figure like Scott Pruitt was during the Trump administration.

01:05:55.000 He'd be a national figure if all he did was shine Trump's shoes and then do something.

01:06:01.000 Exactly.

01:06:01.000 So look, I think that actual oversight is incredibly important to do, whether the president is a Republican or the president is a Democrat.

01:06:08.000 And Democrats, we know, will not do any of this because, as I've also reported, they literally don't show up for work.

01:06:14.000 Let alone actually going after their political allies in this administration.

01:06:19.000 So I think the sky is the limit when it comes to corruption in the administration.

01:06:23.000 I'm 25, but I can tell you with confidence, this is the most corrupt administration of my lifetime.

01:06:27.000 And I think it's important for us to show the American people that.

01:06:29.000 So anyway, to your question, that is an issue is forcing good government, but then also stopping the reckless spending is destroying our economy via inflation that the administration denies crushing communist China, stopping giving Iran nuclear weapons, actually promoting American jobs and American energy.

01:06:44.000 The Department of Energy, of course, doesn't actually believe in energy.

01:06:46.000 It's incredibly hostile to American energy and American energy creators.

01:06:50.000 So the first step is to stop a lot of the madness that we're seeing from Democrats and the Biden administration.

01:06:56.000 And then we can start laying out sort of a vision of, hey, here's why you guys should give us the White House.

01:07:01.000 But the first thing I think is staunch the bleeding and then proceed accordingly.

01:07:06.000 Have you heard of graphene?

01:07:08.000 Graphene.

01:07:09.000 Have you heard of graphene?

01:07:11.000 It's a carbon nanomaterial.

01:07:13.000 It's a new structure of material that's one atom thick.

01:07:16.000 This is it, actually, right here.

01:07:18.000 It's a wonder material.

01:07:19.000 It's going to be the steel of the 21st century.

01:07:20.000 And if we can get the United States on board with creating this stuff en masse, we'll become a global superpower.

01:07:25.000 What do you think of 2024?

01:07:26.000 Trump or DeSantis?

01:07:27.000 I liken all of the above energy solution.

01:07:29.000 I haven't heard of that, though.

01:07:31.000 Materials science.

01:07:31.000 It's the way to go.

01:07:32.000 That's how you win elections.

01:07:33.000 I like it.

01:07:35.000 I think 2024 is light years away.

01:07:37.000 So let's, like, right now, the most important election for me is July 19th in this primary, then November 8th.

01:07:44.000 DeSantis has to win this year, right?

01:07:45.000 I mean, it's going to be a red wave.

01:07:46.000 But just keep in mind, having this conversation in 2014, we were probably talking about people who were going to go on to lose that year.

01:07:53.000 So obviously DeSantis will destroy whoever they nominate.

01:07:57.000 But something crazy could happen with him.

01:07:59.000 Something crazy could happen with Trump.

01:08:00.000 So first, Let's have the red wave, like we can't take advantage, like we can't forget that we have an election this year by getting distracted by the shiny object of 2024 yet.

01:08:12.000 We got to win this year.

01:08:13.000 How much of it is like what idealistic, what you want versus the, the, the, the political game, the football game of who's there.

01:08:21.000 How can I get this many people to do that?

01:08:23.000 That's a really good question.

01:08:24.000 I have no idea.

01:08:27.000 I'll come on as a member of Congress, and I'll get back to you on it.

01:08:29.000 I literally don't know.

01:08:30.000 You know, it's sort of... Circle back.

01:08:31.000 Mr. Smith... Well, no, but honestly, I'm not gonna lie and say, oh, I can tell you what it's gonna be like to be a congressman as a 25-year-old.

01:08:37.000 I am incredibly idealistic, and maybe that means I'm somewhat naive.

01:08:42.000 But I think that having people go who want to get in there on day one and start investigating corruption and making a difference, you know, it matters who we elect, right?

01:08:50.000 That's why I jumped in this primary as I was like, look, I'm 25, but I have no doubt done more to expose Democrats corruption and malfeasance than anyone else in this race.

01:09:00.000 And that's why we have to actually send someone to Washington who wants to do that.

01:09:03.000 I think the problem that many of us see the Democrats' corruption is fairly obvious.

01:09:09.000 I mean, look, Jimmy Dore, who's a leftist, and he rags on the Democrats all day and night.

01:09:14.000 Even Hassan.

01:09:16.000 He rags on the Democrats all the time.

01:09:18.000 I think we all can see the problem with Democrats.

01:09:20.000 The problem I have with Republicans is that they're a barrier preventing actual pro-America, pro-American worker politicians from getting in.

01:09:30.000 You see what's happening with Robbie Starbuck in Tennessee.

01:09:33.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:09:34.000 The machine of the Republican Party just wants to be a machine.

01:09:37.000 A fat, gluttonous, power-absorbing machine that does nothing to help anybody.

01:09:42.000 And we heard this from, I think it was Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Freedom Caucus.

01:09:46.000 Basically that... Actually, no, no.

01:09:48.000 Who was the other guy we had on from the Freedom Caucus?

01:09:51.000 I don't remember his name.

01:09:52.000 Was it Randy something?

01:09:53.000 Yes, it was Randy Weber.

01:09:54.000 Randy Weber.

01:09:54.000 Yeah.

01:09:55.000 I think it was him.

01:09:55.000 He was saying that he could have been the vote to repeal Obamacare, but they were like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:10:02.000 Don't do that.

01:10:03.000 Because we need the issue.

01:10:04.000 We need to pretend we're fighting against something.

01:10:07.000 That's the problem I see with Republicans.

01:10:09.000 I think Democrats are the same way.

01:10:10.000 But so long as we have the standard Republican leadership, nothing's going to change.

01:10:15.000 Well, that's why I think it's important that we actually not only flip the house, but it depends who we're sending there.

01:10:20.000 And so, you know, when I'm talking to people, when I'm going knocking there, I say, oh, you're 25.

01:10:24.000 That's really exciting.

01:10:25.000 But, you know, what can you actually do?

01:10:28.000 And I say, look, yeah, you're right.

01:10:29.000 I'm 25.

01:10:29.000 But I think.

01:10:31.000 Sort of our generation of people does not, is not as beholden to sort of that type of politics as we've been used to for, I think, all of our lives, whether it's because we're way too idealistic or already way too cynical and blackmailed.

01:10:46.000 You know, I think a lot of the same old, same old doesn't really fly with us.

01:10:50.000 Yeah.

01:10:50.000 Here's what I think is going to happen.

01:10:51.000 I think if you do get in and you do not go after Joe Biden with impeachment, investigations

01:11:01.000 and an attempted conviction, then it's going to be the Republicans being like, we don't

01:11:08.000 want to destroy everything.

01:11:09.000 We don't want to waste time.

01:11:11.000 And then the Democrats will keep doing it.

01:11:12.000 Yeah.

01:11:13.000 Then the leftists will claim the Republicans are the scorched earth party, while the Republicans are the Washington generals.

01:11:18.000 And then I see people like Kyle Kulinski claim the Democrats are actually the Washington generals.

01:11:21.000 And I'm just like, yo, in 2016, you know, after the midterms, when the Republicans had basically everything, they went along with Russiagate.

01:11:33.000 When Donald Trump sees obvious issues with Ukraine, he gets impeached and the Republicans do nothing.

01:11:40.000 When it comes to the 2020 election across all of these states, Republicans cut deals with Democrats to change voting laws.

01:11:47.000 If the Republicans are unwilling to play politics in the same way, Then it will be the same thing.

01:11:53.000 Democrats will keep steamrolling.

01:11:55.000 We will keep seeing changes that are negative.

01:11:58.000 It is just a slow roll and in 20 years, Republicans will be transgender communists who have sacrificed all their values because they'll keep lurching leftward. 0.96

01:12:07.000 However, I believe if the Republicans do decide we're going to impeach Joe Biden, we're going to go for a conviction, we're going to investigate, we're going to arrest, the Democrats won't just sit back and allow that to happen.

01:12:17.000 It's going to be the same policies, which is just a powder keg and then you get some kind of chaos, collapse, or otherwise.

01:12:23.000 I don't know what the answers are, I just know that for me, sitting back watching Democrat corruption, sitting back and seeing the media lie and work in collusion with the Democratic establishment, seeing big tech do all of these things, and then seeing the established Republicans, who are all in on the game, sitting on their hands the whole time, I'm just like, we need people like Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene or Thomas Massey, more Freedom Caucus individuals who are just going to be like, we're going to push back, we're going to say no.

01:12:50.000 We need term limits too, and especially for the administrative state as well. 0.58

01:12:54.000 Like, that Trump's military were lying to him about the troops in Syria, about the numbers of troops we had in Syria, that's an administrative problem.

01:13:00.000 Those guys should have been term limited out.

01:13:02.000 I mean, the president obviously can hire whoever he wants, but I think we should have some legal restrictions there.

01:13:05.000 Maybe the president shouldn't be able to hire whoever he wants, or she wants. 1.00

01:13:10.000 But a lot of those people you're talking about are not hired by the president.

01:13:12.000 A lot of those people are these career, you know, that sort of is where the deep state is from, is these career people who are actually Explicitly not hired by the president, right?

01:13:20.000 Those are the careers.

01:13:21.000 The people hired by the president are the politicals.

01:13:23.000 That's where you have, when you're a Democrat, you have two forces aligned in your favor.

01:13:27.000 You have the career employees and the political appointees.

01:13:30.000 When you're a Republican, especially when you're Trump, you have the careers aligned against you and then you have your political appointees.

01:13:36.000 So you're still fighting your own government employees who are also impossible to fire when they're doing a bad job.

01:13:44.000 But Being able to reform the career hires in the government would be a huge win for taxpayers, for the government transparency, for anything like that.

01:13:54.000 How do you get anything done?

01:13:56.000 You know, it's like there's like 10 members of Congress who are actually like, hey, maybe we should change this.

01:14:00.000 And everyone else is like, don't rock the boat.

01:14:03.000 We get to eat at steakhouses.

01:14:05.000 The government pays for it.

01:14:06.000 I want to go home.

01:14:08.000 I mean, it is a problem with both sides, obviously, of just sort of the lackadaisical attitude as we have these massive problems.

01:14:15.000 But again, that's why it's important for any voter in any district in the country to go sort of ask the people who are asking for their vote, hey, what do you plan on actually doing when you're in there?

01:14:25.000 And that's why I can say in good conscience to voters, yes, I understand.

01:14:30.000 I'm 25.

01:14:30.000 But look at what my reporting has already done when it's something like education, for example.

01:14:35.000 I got the governor of Tennessee to quash planned social justice grants at state schools in Tennessee.

01:14:42.000 A professor reached out to me.

01:14:44.000 He said, Hey, I teach at the University of Memphis, which is a public school in Tennessee.

01:14:47.000 And our school is bribing professors to incorporate the University of Memphis's social justice principles.

01:14:54.000 Why does the school even have those things in Tennessee?

01:14:56.000 I don't know.

01:14:57.000 And I said, I've never seen that in the years that I have been a higher ed and K through 12 education activist.

01:15:03.000 So I wrote the article exposing that this program exists.

01:15:06.000 I contact the governor of Tennessee's office.

01:15:07.000 I said, hey, what is going on here?

01:15:10.000 And then the next week that program is canceled.

01:15:12.000 So being able to like you can use governmental powers for good to stop leftist insanity, but you need people in government who are actually going to either expose it themselves or when contacted with these sorts of tips, actually do things about it.

01:15:27.000 Have you gotten the Trump bump yet?

01:15:29.000 Has Trump shouted you out?

01:15:31.000 Uh, not yet, actually.

01:15:32.000 Uh, we'll see.

01:15:33.000 We'll see what his interest level in Maryland is.

01:15:35.000 He endorsed Thomas Massey, right?

01:15:37.000 You did?

01:15:37.000 Yeah.

01:15:38.000 Which is crazy, because he was all against Massey last cycle.

01:15:38.000 Amazing.

01:15:41.000 Right, right.

01:15:42.000 I remember.

01:15:42.000 Yeah, I remember.

01:15:43.000 And, uh, would you sign on to Thomas Massey's legislation to the Department of Education will end December 31st, 2022?

01:15:52.000 Uh, well obviously I would not be in office by December 31st, 2022.

01:15:56.000 But whatever it is, um... What I mean to ask is, do you agree with Thomas Massie saying, let's shut this down?

01:16:02.000 I think that probably does make sense.

01:16:04.000 A lot of these federal departments are only making things much worse.

01:16:09.000 Um, especially the Department of Education.

01:16:11.000 I would need to figure out what the actual ramifications of that would be, but I am, I mean, we need to drastically slash the size of government and especially things like this was a priority during the Trump admin in the early years, moving things like the Department of the Interior to the Interior.

01:16:24.000 You know, there's no reason for all of these government agencies to be based in DC, especially when they're like the Bureau of Land Management put that in a state like Arizona.

01:16:32.000 Nevada. If there was, I would never want to be in politics, but if there was one

01:16:37.000 reason to be in politics is just to do like exactly what Thomas Massey did, I

01:16:41.000 would just be like I have a whole bunch of bills drafted up, this department will

01:16:44.000 end, this department will end, this department will end, this department will end. The Department of Energy, or of

01:16:48.000 Education rather. You know what I would do though? I wouldn't write, I wouldn't draft a bill that says like the

01:16:52.000 Department of Education will end on this date.

01:16:55.000 It will be called the Congressional Salary Increase.

01:16:57.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:16:58.000 And it'll be like, line one, all members of Congress shall receive a salary equal to, you know, whatever percentage.

01:17:05.000 Equal to the Department of Energy's staff in five years from now, which will be zero dollars.

01:17:09.000 He calculated it would be about $400 million a year that we would save if we got to that, but then he thought we could repurpose the money to, like, individual school choice methods and things like that.

01:17:09.000 Exactly.

01:17:18.000 I would just make a bunch of bills that were all just raises for Congress.

01:17:21.000 Yeah.

01:17:21.000 But then, like, in the fine print at the bottom of it, also the Department of Education will end.

01:17:25.000 Honestly, you could put it in the first line.

01:17:26.000 I don't even think they read that far into it.

01:17:28.000 They just see that, you know, they see it's called the jobs bill.

01:17:30.000 They're like, alright, I'm for the jobs bill.

01:17:31.000 Well, this is what we heard from the Freitas caucus crew that There's some guy who's not Pelosi, and he's like, uh, next up is this bill, you know, the Jobs Act reform bill, all in favor on the Democrat side, all in favor on the Republican side, it passes, bang, next.

01:17:49.000 So you just make, like, the congressional salary raise bill, and then it would just have, like, a whole bunch of stuff in it, like, this is gone, this is gone.

01:17:57.000 I wonder if, you know, I would just, that's all I would do.

01:18:00.000 I would be like the Saving Children and Preserving the Family Act, or I'd make like the Pro-LGBTQ Protect Our Children Bill, and it says the National Firearms Act will sunset as of December 31st, 2022.

01:18:13.000 That's all it will say.

01:18:14.000 I have nothing to do with anything else.

01:18:16.000 Everyone here gets a 50% pay cut effect immediately.

01:18:20.000 Once you're officially a West Virginia guy, I mean, we would make a pretty interesting delegation across the river from each other.

01:18:25.000 We would just be, you know, we'd be quite a duo here, so I'm just saying.

01:18:28.000 The Dissolve Governmental Departments Caucus.

01:18:31.000 That's all we do.

01:18:32.000 I'd love to see a video chat show.

01:18:33.000 I don't know what you call it.

01:18:34.000 I don't like calling them podcasts because that's just an iPod thing and I'm not an Apple zealot, but like a show.

01:18:38.000 I think they just discontinued iPods today.

01:18:40.000 Oh, okay.

01:18:40.000 I heard about that.

01:18:42.000 Podcasts are gone!

01:18:43.000 Podcasts are gone!

01:18:45.000 We should have known this!

01:18:46.000 We're done!

01:18:47.000 We're done!

01:18:48.000 But like AOC does for instance where you just you video chat with your friends or your followers or whoever the your voters or whatever you call people it gets a little culty because they'll worship you and like follow you into anything which could be bad if you go crazy but it's a great way to stay keep people informed to answer their questions and yeah to create real people that will stay with you through the process I disagreed with your earlier point on how we should have like much more teleworking in government.

01:19:11.000 I think it should, the government should be way more accessible to you than it is right now.

01:19:15.000 So any way we can make people who feel disaffected and disconnected from the government and from sort of their community, we should do more of that.

01:19:24.000 And again, I mean, like parts of Western Maryland have not heard from their representative in decades.

01:19:30.000 So it is like the more ways we can reach more people and that to AOC's credit is something she does do well as she does sort of Would you vote for boots on the ground in Ukraine?

01:19:38.000 Uh, no, I don't think so.

01:19:39.000 What about—you don't think so?

01:19:40.000 I don't—you're already putting me in Congress, so— I know, I know.

01:19:42.000 and Republicans from also trying to make politics something that people who are

01:19:48.000 normal want to engage in and feel like is actually can be a meaningful vehicle

01:19:52.000 for change. Would you vote for boots on the ground in Ukraine? No I don't think so.

01:19:57.000 What about, you don't think so? I don't, you're already putting me in Congress so.

01:20:00.000 I know, I know. What about like weapons and stuff? I don't have a problem sending weapons.

01:20:06.000 I mean, I recognize that too.

01:20:06.000 Yeah.

01:20:08.000 I'm like, I have all these questions as if you were a member of Congress.

01:20:11.000 And so you're like, you're not.

01:20:12.000 But I do think it's, I think it's important.

01:20:14.000 I mean, you know, you're running in the primary, so.

01:20:16.000 The problem with sending weapons, in my opinion, anyway, the problem with sending weapons to Azov, which is like the Nazi battalion of the Ukrainian army, that's freedom fighters.

01:20:22.000 They call them freedom fighters when they're on our side, then they call them terrorists when they're not.

01:20:26.000 And is that one day they may not be on our side anymore.

01:20:28.000 Now they have American weapons and they fight back.

01:20:30.000 I mean, look, we left an entire arsenal to the Taliban, so I don't know where to factor that into this.

01:20:35.000 You know, I think that the surrender of Afghanistan was sort of like the Obama red line in 2013 that set the stage for, you know, that was the first domino to fall that led to serious consequences.

01:20:46.000 So when we abandoned Afghanistan for a failed photo op, That said to China, yeah, you guys can do whatever you guys want domestically.

01:20:52.000 You guys spy on all of our Olympians.

01:20:54.000 I reported on how one of the sponsors of the Chinese Genocide Olympics was iFlytech, which the Chinese government uses to voice recognize Uyghur dissidents.

01:21:03.000 And that was a straight up sponsor.

01:21:05.000 That was actually the official translation tool that American athletes would use when communicating to other athletes.

01:21:10.000 So China was straight up storing our athletes voice recognition So we supported that with the weakest diplomatic boycott known to mankind.

01:21:19.000 And after that, obviously, Russia invades Ukraine.

01:21:23.000 All of democratic foreign policy is united around the goal of giving Iran nuclear weapons.

01:21:27.000 Because keep in mind, none of this is happening in a vacuum, right?

01:21:29.000 Russia invades Ukraine.

01:21:31.000 Meanwhile, Putin's guy in Vienna is negotiating an Iran deal on behalf of the United States of America, so Biden can't cut off Russian oil because that would piss off the guys who are negotiating to sprint to give Iran nuclear weapons.

01:21:42.000 He finally relents on buying Russian oil and then says, all right, you know what?

01:21:45.000 Instead of Russian oil, we're going to buy Venezuelan oil because what does the administration hate?

01:21:49.000 American jobs and American oil because it's beholden to left-wing activists.

01:21:53.000 So Anyway, all of that is to say, none of the foreign policy failures of the Biden administration happened in a vacuum, and the failure in Afghanistan set the stage for massive failures that are already happening, that are aided and abetted by Democrats teleworking, because either they're discussing classified information in unclassified settings, like they're zooming in from Starbucks while they should pretend to be working, or they're not discussing anything classified, and they have no idea that Russia is about to invade Ukraine, or that China is eyeing Taiwan, that, you know, people with brains can just figure out is obviously happening.

01:22:22.000 They should not be using Zoom.

01:22:23.000 They need encrypted source technology that they can watch the hour.

01:22:27.000 That's a crazy tactic.

01:22:28.000 So just for some reason, I pulled up the caning of Charles Sumner on Wikipedia.

01:22:31.000 Did you know that the cane used to attack Charles Sumner is on exhibit at the Old State House in Boston?

01:22:36.000 So this was basically just like right before the Civil War.

01:22:40.000 This Southern Democrat slave owner guy, I think he was a pro-slavery guy, brutally beat Charles Sumner with a cane, nearly killing him.

01:22:49.000 Because like the other guy gave a speech.

01:22:52.000 I'm just wondering, are we anywhere near something like that occurring at this point?

01:22:55.000 Just with the hyperpolarization currently on the rise.

01:22:58.000 I wonder if maybe in 2026?

01:23:00.000 I don't know, because our political leaders are a protected class, so I don't know.

01:23:05.000 There are certain leaders who are dissidents who I could see the establishment being more comfortable seeing that happen to, but do you guys remember, I believe about 10 years ago, there was, I can't remember if it was a senator or a congressman, but he said, you lied to Obama.

01:23:17.000 Yeah, Joe Wilson.

01:23:18.000 Yeah.

01:23:19.000 Everyone lost their minds.

01:23:20.000 How could this happen?

01:23:21.000 Like they used to beat each other.

01:23:22.000 They used to duel.

01:23:23.000 He used to duel.

01:23:23.000 What are you talking about?

01:23:24.000 He heckled him while he was actually lying, by the way.

01:23:28.000 He pointed out that he was lying and that was so unprecedented and horrible.

01:23:32.000 So everyone has a very weak stomach for basically anything confrontational.

01:23:36.000 And at the same time, you know, if it's someone outside of the establishment, of course, or it's someone who's a target of the radical left's hatred, then we can absolutely destroy them.

01:23:45.000 This definitely wouldn't happen now because Democrats literally don't show up in the Capitol. 0.76

01:23:51.000 They would say words are violence, and you tweeted something mean at them, but you can't actually have physical violence when no one shows up to work.

01:23:57.000 Burning down buildings isn't violence, right?

01:23:59.000 Yeah, exactly right.

01:24:00.000 It's just the voice of the unheard is rioting.

01:24:01.000 The only people who do show up for the most part are the Republicans on the Freedom Caucus.

01:24:06.000 I mean, basically.

01:24:07.000 When I was doing the reporting, every Republican office was in there.

01:24:11.000 Wow.

01:24:12.000 I just looked up House of Shame.

01:24:14.000 This is from BBC.

01:24:14.000 House of Shame.

01:24:15.000 Parliament brawls around the world.

01:24:17.000 It's not uncommon for a parliament to go at each other.

01:24:19.000 Those are my words, not the article's words.

01:24:21.000 But you'll see video of it.

01:24:22.000 Maybe you could consider it uncommon.

01:24:24.000 It's not rare.

01:24:24.000 Or maybe you can consider it rare.

01:24:26.000 But it doesn't not happen.

01:24:27.000 There are videos like I think in Eastern Europe of them just the whole parliament just going just massive brawling.

01:24:32.000 Let me let me step in and stop it.

01:24:35.000 I mean what authority do people have?

01:24:36.000 Let me read this.

01:24:37.000 The aftermath of the caning.

01:24:39.000 The episode revealed the polarization in America which had now reached the floor of the Senate.

01:24:43.000 Sumner became a martyr in the North and Brooks a hero in the South.

01:24:46.000 Northerners were outraged.

01:24:48.000 That right there just reading that I'm like No matter what happens in terms of conflict with the ever-increasing polarization in this country, both sides will be happy whatever happened happened.

01:25:01.000 This is pre-Civil War?

01:25:02.000 This is just before the Civil War.

01:25:04.000 Also, it's important to remember that with a lot of the culture war issues and the things people are really riled up about, the actual establishment politicians either don't have that much of a difference or they don't talk about it, so we would never see Nancy Pelosi caning Mitt Romney, right?

01:25:18.000 Or something along those lines, because even though they're in different parties, they're totally in bed together ultimately.

01:25:24.000 But, as I mentioned earlier, I could see, you know, maybe somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene or someone who is really genuinely an outsider being, you know, a target for some kind of misconduct or serious misconduct.

01:25:36.000 I mean, we already saw them try to use the legal system to punish her for her political views, so. 1.00

01:25:41.000 I don't know, man.

01:25:42.000 The United States is unique because the people are armed.

01:25:44.000 You just don't mess with people like that.

01:25:46.000 They were armed back then, too?

01:25:48.000 Maybe.

01:25:48.000 But not, maybe, I don't know.

01:25:49.000 Did they open carry on the floor of Congress?

01:25:52.000 I wasn't around in the 1850s.

01:25:53.000 No, no, I'm talking about today.

01:25:54.000 No, no, no.

01:25:55.000 I mean, you, you, you can.

01:25:57.000 I'm pretty sure.

01:25:57.000 Doesn't Lauren Boebert keep a gun with her?

01:25:58.000 This was a squabble earlier this year was some members of the Republican party were bringing weapons to the house floor, but cause remember they put up the metal detectors and some members would say, whether they were armed or not, they would just walk around and get fined.

01:26:10.000 Um, I don't think you can open carry on the Capitol grounds.

01:26:13.000 I definitely don't think so.

01:26:14.000 She might have it, but not bring it to the floor.

01:26:16.000 I don't know.

01:26:17.000 I don't know how I feel about that.

01:26:19.000 I can understand issues of, like, functions of justice where we have certain restrictions, but I kind of lean towards people should be allowed to keep and bear arms.

01:26:32.000 You know, if you go back in time, I'd imagine being in the capital, you'd want to be able to protect it if an attack happened or something happened.

01:26:39.000 And what if a crazy person walks in, you know?

01:26:41.000 So I don't know, I kind of think members of Congress... I think everybody should be allowed to open case.

01:26:45.000 You get a situation where like one person in the parliament, I'll use examples that have happened in the past, goes at another member of parliament, and then like, the security is just watching, because they don't know what to do, and if whoever's running the parliament's like, don't do anything to the security guards, then they're just gonna wait.

01:27:01.000 And then it becomes partisan, where like, if your life is being threatened on the floor of Congress, you have a right to defend your life.

01:27:07.000 In my opinion.

01:27:08.000 And constitutionally.

01:27:09.000 Yeah.

01:27:10.000 Although I don't know what the laws, but constitutionally, and then we can talk about the laws made after that.

01:27:16.000 You know, one thing I wanted to mention about what you were saying earlier about the government of China.

01:27:20.000 The government of China is the Republic of China, based in Taiwan.

01:27:22.000 The oppressive, I guess you'd call it, a conquering or a, what do you call that?

01:27:28.000 See, this is a great fact check.

01:27:29.000 We need more of these sorts of fact checks.

01:27:31.000 Yeah, the Republic of China was pushed out by the CCP during Mao's revolution, and the CCP is actually an occupying force.

01:27:37.000 Thank you.

01:27:40.000 I'm just reading the timeline of events of the Civil War.

01:27:42.000 It's crazy.

01:27:43.000 People need to understand that, uh, years go by before anything, anything, like 1859, you know, John Brown's raid on the Harper's Ferry Armory.

01:27:53.000 This is like years before some of these massive war, like, battles that were fought.

01:27:57.000 And it's like 1860 and then it goes on for years.

01:28:02.000 It's just, this was life for everybody.

01:28:04.000 It's kind of crazy, huh?

01:28:06.000 Yeah, there's that quote.

01:28:07.000 I think it might have even been Lennon, who did not say many wise things, but this idea that there are decades where nothing happens, and then days where decades happen, something like that.

01:28:17.000 61 to 65.

01:28:19.000 1861 to 1865.

01:28:22.000 Just imagine for four years, it's just there's war going on, and people are killing each other, and it's just crazy.

01:28:28.000 Crazy.

01:28:29.000 And it wasn't that many lifetimes ago.

01:28:32.000 We're in an amazing... We have an opportunity to pick our future right now, guide the consciousness.

01:28:36.000 If we want to go to war, we could send people to war. 0.74

01:28:38.000 If we want peace, we can do that too.

01:28:41.000 But it requires dedication and humility.

01:28:44.000 You've got to be humiliated in front of people to allow yourself to be a pariah.

01:28:48.000 I kind of feel like it's inevitable.

01:28:53.000 And it's not, I mean, I just, look, right now, the left, they're putting out videos where they're like, why aren't the justices being arrested for perjury?

01:29:04.000 Because they said, under oath, that Roe v. Wade was settled law, but now they're saying it's not, and they're rescinding it, which is a ridiculous argument, but it doesn't matter.

01:29:13.000 These millennials who are arguing this will one day inherit the courts.

01:29:16.000 And that ideology is present within them.

01:29:19.000 They will be like, well, you did say it was settled law.

01:29:23.000 And then you might argue like, yeah, but I never said I wouldn't overturn it.

01:29:25.000 So what?

01:29:26.000 You're going to jail because I'm the AG now.

01:29:28.000 You may be right that if we keep doing the government as it's written with the modern technology, it's going to inevitably lead to cult worship.

01:29:34.000 I did not say that at all.

01:29:34.000 Well, you're saying it's inevitable.

01:29:36.000 And I think the reason is because with modern technology, the ability to create a cult within like three days with social media is super dangerous for our form of group communication government.

01:29:46.000 That's just the speed at which the cult can form.

01:29:48.000 I mean, information always traveled.

01:29:49.000 I'm just saying with one side saying, why isn't Trump being arrested?

01:29:54.000 The other side saying, why isn't Hillary being arrested? 1.00

01:29:56.000 What happens when either of those sides actually gains control of an institutions?

01:30:00.000 Uh, of an institution that can enforce this.

01:30:02.000 Matt Taibbi described it as the, um, I forgot what exactly he said.

01:30:07.000 It's the moment that two different cars are rushing towards the Capitol.

01:30:11.000 And what they're trying to do is get there first to arrest the specific person.

01:30:15.000 And then both groups jump out and then point at each other, you're under arrest!

01:30:20.000 And so that's what he's seen in various countries with civil war.

01:30:23.000 So if right now you have people screaming, why isn't Trump being criminally charged?

01:30:29.000 And these are the AOC type progressives that are getting into Congress. 0.62

01:30:32.000 And these are the politically active young Gen Z millennial types who are going to be running, going to be working in Congress.

01:30:39.000 Then you have the populist MAGA types who are saying, why wasn't Hillary arrested? 0.98

01:30:43.000 Why isn't Joe Biden being arrested?

01:30:46.000 What happens when they gain power?

01:30:48.000 So whichever faction gains control of the institution is going to, I think, wield it against the other, which will result in the other side saying no, and then some kind of conflict.

01:30:57.000 You surely need to empower the people.

01:30:59.000 The politicians are not the answer.

01:31:01.000 It's good to have people functioning with politics, obviously, but no, the power is with the individual in this country, always has been.

01:31:10.000 Well, let's go to Super Chats.

01:31:25.000 And you're also helping support alternative infrastructure because our website is hosted on Rumble.

01:31:30.000 Which means the more customers they can get, the more you support businesses that use Rumble, the more you are building up this ecosystem of alternatives to Silicon Valley.

01:31:39.000 So thank you so much for being members.

01:31:41.000 Let's read what we got.

01:31:42.000 Jesse says, my Lib sister has her pup watch Chicken City.

01:31:46.000 She's gonna freak out when she learns they're far-right chickens. 1.00

01:31:49.000 Oh yeah, they're all far right.

01:31:52.000 Although I think Vanessa is Antifa, so we gotta watch out for her. 1.00

01:31:57.000 What tipped you off there? 0.98

01:31:58.000 She's all black. 1.00

01:32:03.000 She's in black block, yeah that's right. 1.00

01:32:06.000 Well let's see if she'll take off her outfit. 1.00

01:32:08.000 Not Dorothy though, but it's also because Vanessa looks angry. 0.93

01:32:12.000 So there's two Bart Plymouth Rock Chickens we have and Vanessa's eyes, her brow is always furled and she's like looking around like mmm and then Dorothy's eyes are always like up and like dopey just like oh I just say it's really weird they have that expression on their face you can tell them apart that way they're identical otherwise All right, Leandro Brady says 2,000 mules per gallon.

01:32:35.000 Oh, excellent, excellent.

01:32:36.000 Joe Taylor says, Tim, think of this, $6 a gallon with each tank on a semi being around 350 gallons times two.

01:32:43.000 You're talking $3,000 to fill a semi truck.

01:32:46.000 They do that once or twice a day.

01:32:48.000 Yo, I saw a meme where someone had to spend like $1,300 to fill up his tank, a trucker.

01:32:55.000 That's gonna that's gonna translate to all of your goods.

01:32:58.000 Yep.

01:32:58.000 Yep Wow better start growing food.

01:33:01.000 Yeah How do we grow gas?

01:33:04.000 I have a trucker friend who gets miles to the gallon with this truck and he's talking about how Unbelievably expensive it is to fill up his semi.

01:33:12.000 There's like this cool way we come back from this There's a technology this Japanese inventor was working on where he would take plastic and put it in a high-pressure, high-heat environment with no oxygen, and then it reconverts the plastic into oil, and then you can refine it back into petroleum or diesel.

01:33:27.000 Alright, Ghost Crusader says, there is no corn at my local supermarkets.

01:33:31.000 New York City, not canned corn.

01:33:34.000 No corn.

01:33:35.000 Wow.

01:33:36.000 What do you eat?

01:33:38.000 Me personally?

01:33:39.000 Kimchi.

01:33:39.000 No, if there's no corn left, what are you going to do?

01:33:41.000 Cabbage.

01:33:42.000 Cabbage, no cabbage, folks.

01:33:42.000 It's also when people don't realize, everything is made of corn in this country.

01:33:46.000 We manufacture everything from corn.

01:33:48.000 For decades, we looked at products and said, how can we make that out of corn instead?

01:33:53.000 People don't understand how screwed we are if we stop growing corn.

01:33:55.000 And then we had cows, and we were like, how can we make them out of corn instead?

01:33:58.000 And we started feeding them corn instead of grass.

01:34:01.000 It's insane.

01:34:02.000 All right, BlackLionGrunt says, I summon Ultra Maga with 10,000 hit points.

01:34:06.000 Destroys all enemies that opposes freedom.

01:34:09.000 Ultra Maga.

01:34:11.000 MXP says, Timmy, if you ever go on Rogue and again, can you talk about The Great Reset?

01:34:15.000 Also have more guests on your show to talk about it.

01:34:18.000 Sure.

01:34:19.000 That's actually something I wanted to bring up when me and you and Alex and Michael Malice and everybody and Joe were on the show.

01:34:24.000 I was like, I should have brought up Klaus Schwab.

01:34:25.000 We didn't get into it, but next time.

01:34:27.000 Maybe we should have like James Lindsay with Alex Jones.

01:34:30.000 That'd be good.

01:34:31.000 Talk about Klaus Schwab.

01:34:33.000 All right.

01:34:34.000 Earl Graham says, as a member of Timcast, I demand you bring Roberto Sr.

01:34:38.000 onto one of your live shows to replace Ian.

01:34:40.000 Oh, I'm not against it.

01:34:42.000 Roberto Sr.

01:34:43.000 is officially in sex jail.

01:34:46.000 You finally locked the aggressor up.

01:34:48.000 Well, because we're retiring him.

01:34:51.000 Yeah, we could only have one dominant rooster at a time, and Roberto Jr.

01:34:54.000 has now, like, he's fully grown, so Roberto and his son are now, it's too much for the chickens, and they're starting to get hurt, because the dude's just going at it too much, you know?

01:35:04.000 Is that an allegory for when there's two superpowers, one of them eventually, what's that law?

01:35:08.000 The Thucydides.

01:35:08.000 The Thucydidean trap.

01:35:10.000 I'm just saying that three times fast.

01:35:13.000 The rising young rooster threatens the aging and decrepit rooster, and then war is inevitable.

01:35:20.000 That's actually what happens.

01:35:22.000 So, Roberto Jr.

01:35:23.000 has been slowly pushing on Roberto.

01:35:25.000 I think he's bigger than his dad now. 0.91

01:35:27.000 He's a beast.

01:35:28.000 I love him.

01:35:28.000 Yeah, he's big.

01:35:29.000 I like his song, too.

01:35:30.000 He's a bit more chill than Roberto is.

01:35:32.000 Roberto Sr.

01:35:33.000 is aggressive and angsty, but I think it's because they thought he was a girl when he was born.

01:35:39.000 It is 2022.

01:35:40.000 So he was supposed to be cold, and we thought we were getting chickens, but we got a rooster in there.

01:35:44.000 And I'm like, maybe his son's bigger because something about Roberto was like, he was like a low-T rooster or something like that.

01:35:50.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:35:53.000 All right.

01:35:54.000 Colonel Panic says, Tim and Ging, I think we all agree that YouTube is less than stellar.

01:35:57.000 But is Rumble really better or simply different?

01:36:00.000 In Rumble terms of service, it sounds like they reserve the right to take your account and content.

01:36:06.000 Axe Apologetics made a video about this.

01:36:09.000 Yeah, I don't think they're perfect.

01:36:11.000 They're an alternative, and they're competition.

01:36:13.000 So that's what's good.

01:36:15.000 If there were two YouTubes that were identical, and they were actually competing, it'd be a good thing, but Rumble's actually competition, so.

01:36:21.000 Paul Jones says, big fan of the show.

01:36:23.000 The show the other day about Daryl Davis was incredibly embarrassing for Daryl Davis.

01:36:27.000 At first, I was angry you weren't confronting him, but you let him dig his own grave, keep up your good work.

01:36:32.000 You can't say it's embarrassing for someone else.

01:36:34.000 That's virtue signaling.

01:36:37.000 Only you can say if something's embarrassing for you.

01:36:39.000 Let other people decide how they feel.

01:36:40.000 It's called cringe.

01:36:42.000 Cringe is when you feel embarrassment for someone else.

01:36:44.000 Yeah, but that's virtue.

01:36:44.000 If you say it out loud, it becomes virtue signaling.

01:36:47.000 No, virtue signaling is when you pretend to support something to attract attention from those who also claim to support it.

01:36:52.000 Or if you're just... Okay, I'm not gonna argue this right now.

01:36:55.000 It's most of left-wing Instagram.

01:36:57.000 Yeah, they're all just trying to get clicks and likes.

01:37:01.000 Bert USA says, imagine Trump's head on All Might's body, then imagine the left facing off against this plus Ultraman.

01:37:08.000 Now we wait for the United States of smash, or at the very least, a Delaware smash.

01:37:13.000 So someone may, yes, ha, if you, if you guys know what My Hero Academia is, you understand, you understood those references, but somebody actually made a comic called Wall Might, where Trump is All Might, superhero, and they call him Wall Might.

01:37:29.000 All right.

01:37:30.000 Paul Jones says you guys are right about how if it was the right, they'd be locked up ASAP.

01:37:35.000 It's funny how Biden campaigned on being a moderate and unity, but he's been nothing but dismissive and fear mongering.

01:37:41.000 I'm not surprised by that.

01:37:44.000 All right.

01:37:45.000 Carolyn Clark says, watch 2000 Mules, Tim, and get off that fence. 0.99

01:37:48.000 Big fan.

01:37:49.000 Would like to apply for Room Mother.

01:37:51.000 54 Gen X rules. 0.98

01:37:53.000 Love from Roanoke, Texas.

01:37:55.000 Very cool.

01:37:56.000 Yeah, we haven't had a chance to check out 2000 Mules, but we will mention it when we can mention it.

01:38:02.000 We'll have to figure it out.

01:38:02.000 I had a name of this Japanese inventor that made this oil machine.

01:38:05.000 I was talking about his name's Akinori Ito, and the machine's called the Blessed Machine.

01:38:08.000 He'll put plastic in there, and then it converts it into oil.

01:38:12.000 Cameron Miller says, first time super chat for my son's birthday.

01:38:15.000 Huxley, he turns 8 today and his biggest birthday wish is to see Tim minus the beanie.

01:38:20.000 Too bad Huxley, you can't always get what you want.

01:38:22.000 Wait until you're 9.

01:38:23.000 Important, important, important lesson for life.

01:38:25.000 But happy birthday nonetheless.

01:38:27.000 You can keep asking though.

01:38:28.000 That dream crusher.

01:38:31.000 Cameron Miller says, second super chat ever.

01:38:32.000 Have you heard of King Randall and what he is doing in Albany, Georgia?

01:38:35.000 He would be a great guest.

01:38:36.000 I don't know.

01:38:37.000 Who is that?

01:38:37.000 Does anybody know?

01:38:38.000 King Randall?

01:38:41.000 Did he declare independence and assert himself as a monarch?

01:38:44.000 Randall King?

01:38:45.000 I don't think so.

01:38:45.000 King Randall.

01:38:46.000 Mike S. says, the real reason Hasan will only do Zoom debates is so that he can get instant answers during the debate from his Discord followers.

01:38:54.000 I've heard that, um, perhaps.

01:38:57.000 I don't know.

01:38:58.000 I think there's two fair points.

01:39:00.000 Hasan hosts his own show, he has no obligation, and it would be, it's like, hey, stop doing your show to do mine! 0.88

01:39:05.000 Like, why would anyone do that?

01:39:06.000 I wouldn't want to do that.

01:39:07.000 And then the other thing is, people, like, I've told everybody who comes on the show, like, we're all sitting here with computers, so bring a computer, and also, we will pull up anything you reference if you want to counter our point.

01:39:18.000 And so we've actually done that with conflicting studies before.

01:39:20.000 But, you know, whatever.

01:39:22.000 Nobody's obligated to come on this show.

01:39:23.000 I'll just explain that I think that prominent left personalities typically won't come on the show because they know they'll lose the argument.

01:39:31.000 And they're not willing to come on to have that conversation.

01:39:33.000 Official debates.

01:39:34.000 Real debates.

01:39:35.000 If you're gonna have a real debate, you need a moderator.

01:39:38.000 You need to have a point system.

01:39:39.000 I'm not interested in debating someone.

01:39:40.000 I'm interested in having a conversation about ideas.

01:39:42.000 But, you know, I gotta say it again.

01:39:44.000 Hunter Avalon, when he came on the show, had no idea what he was talking about with Ukraine, Burisma, and Joe and Hunter Biden.

01:39:50.000 And so he tries to assert himself like, that didn't happen.

01:39:53.000 And then I mentioned, Joe Biden said, you're not getting the billion dollars unless you fire the prosecutor.

01:39:59.000 And he said that never happened.

01:40:01.000 Because he probably got his news from CNN, another fake news.

01:40:05.000 So I just pulled the video up and clicked play, and I'm like, there it is!

01:40:07.000 What do you have to say about that?

01:40:08.000 When they were investigating Zlochevsky or Burisma, was Zlochevsky working at the company still?

01:40:13.000 Zlochevsky had fled the country.

01:40:16.000 And then when Joe Biden got the prosecutor fired, he came back!

01:40:19.000 And then when Donald Trump came in and said, I want this investigated, he fled the country!

01:40:22.000 Isn't it funny how that works?

01:40:24.000 I don't fault people necessarily for not knowing these sorts of things because remember it took our esteemed colleagues in the mainstream media two years to verify that Hunter Biden's laptop was real.

01:40:33.000 So there are some things where it is actually incredibly difficult to get actual information.

01:40:39.000 Now that said, if you're coming on this show or any show as a so-called expert on Burisma and you don't know basic facts about Hunter Biden and the Biden family, then that's where it becomes a problem.

01:40:49.000 But it's very hard to actually find, you know, these basic things about the Biden family.

01:40:53.000 This is why I think many of these people don't want to come on the show.

01:40:56.000 Because we're going to be like, hey, let's have a very serious political conversation about corruption.

01:40:59.000 And then all of a sudden it's like, uh-oh, I'm forced to actually confront my ideas that are based on falsehoods.

01:41:07.000 The other thing I think will happen too is that if we brought on like a left populist and then, you know, someone like Steve Bannon, and then they were like, I think we should tax the rich.

01:41:17.000 And then Steve Bannon goes, I completely agree.

01:41:18.000 Then the headline would be like, leftist agrees with Steve Bannon.

01:41:21.000 And they'd be like, no, no, no.

01:41:23.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:41:24.000 You have to consider... Oh, sorry.

01:41:25.000 It would be like, who's right?

01:41:27.000 Would be the question, get it?

01:41:30.000 Well, no.

01:41:31.000 I mean, it's also... You can't just tell us it's funny!

01:41:36.000 But it's also such a huge part of the fan base that they've courted.

01:41:40.000 These are people who will intentionally just go out of their way and operate in the most bad-faith manner possible so they can find something you said that makes you right-wing.

01:41:49.000 That's the funny thing, like Michael Malisopdin brings up, that he'll say Biden is bad for X reason, and they'll say, yeah, well, Trump did Y, and he'll be like, yes, I agree.

01:41:59.000 What does that have to do with what I said?

01:42:00.000 Like, people can only think it's either you're for Trump or you're for Biden.

01:42:04.000 You can't criticize, you know, both.

01:42:06.000 But this also does get to the mainstream media's problem and why the Trump presidency broke them was all of their subscribers are these resistance people who the second they start criticizing Democrats are going to rage unsubscribe, right?

01:42:19.000 So now that they cultivated the subscriber base based on combing through the dumpsters of Trump Tower and the Trump Hotel in DC, if you're actually going to basically copy and paste my reporting and other people's reportings about Joe Kiani, about Jennifer Granholm, about Gina Raimondo, any of these sorts of things, you're going to confront your subscribers with a reality, which is reality, that they don't want to confront.

01:42:41.000 So they've dug this hole, and they have no way of actually being able to get out of it.

01:42:44.000 You know what I've encountered, though?

01:42:46.000 When it comes to the, quote-unquote, right, as it's often described, is such a big umbrella, that you'll end up with tons of people.

01:42:55.000 Aggressive, Trump-supporting, not necessarily Trump supporters, post-liberal, libertarian.

01:43:01.000 So if I make a video and I say something about the quote-unquote right or a constitutionalist position, I'll get a bunch of comments from people who are like, hey Tim, you actually messed up on this one and it's very like normal.

01:43:13.000 The left will purposefully take things out of context to lie about me.

01:43:17.000 So like I once did a video about hybrid vigor.

01:43:21.000 There was a scientific study that found that people who have genetics from different parts of the planet tend to have less disease and stuff. 0.99

01:43:27.000 And I was making a point about why racism was bad and stupid. 0.96

01:43:31.000 The left took the video, screenshots of it, and then misrepresented what it was about and claimed it was a racist video that hated race mixing when it was the complete inversion of what it was. 0.99

01:43:41.000 And I was like, wow.

01:43:42.000 Like, when you see that... I made a video where I was like, here's my argument on gun control.

01:43:46.000 And I got a bunch of conservatives and libertarians being like, you're wrong and here's why.

01:43:50.000 And I went, oh, those are really good points actually.

01:43:51.000 And then I changed my position.

01:43:53.000 The left just started scrapping all over me and making up what my positions were and I was like, dude, what?

01:43:57.000 I was agreeing with you!

01:43:59.000 They don't care.

01:43:59.000 Well, I mean, yeah, they've adopted the strategy of just like sort of stomping their foot and screaming, you're bad, you're bad.

01:44:05.000 You don't feel bad for the people I tell you to feel bad for, and you don't, you know, sit there and apologize for things you had nothing to do with.

01:44:11.000 So, that's basically it.

01:44:13.000 You gotta feed them like a feral animal, then they'll cool up to you slowly.

01:44:17.000 Let's read more superchats.

01:44:18.000 We got Powder who says, I work at a corner store in California.

01:44:21.000 The price for our weekly chicken strip order has gone up $1,000.

01:44:25.000 Food shortages are coming.

01:44:26.000 Get prepared.

01:44:27.000 I'm talking about if you can provide food to these people, they'll believe you and get on your side.

01:44:32.000 That's how it always is.

01:44:33.000 Like in Venezuela, the National Guard gets fed, so they'll do what they're told.

01:44:37.000 Because they want to live.

01:44:39.000 Nathan Leonard says, forget food shortages.

01:44:41.000 Hospitals across the country are now short on IV contrast dye, meaning life-saving medical tests cannot be performed.

01:44:47.000 Oh, it won't end there!

01:44:49.000 It is gonna get substantially more intense.

01:44:52.000 These shortages.

01:44:53.000 Baby formula is just the beginning.

01:44:55.000 I wonder if we can make that.

01:44:57.000 I was looking into it a little, I couldn't find anything.

01:44:58.000 What's it made of?

01:45:00.000 I don't know yet.

01:45:00.000 But I would imagine we could concoct something that would be pretty similar.

01:45:03.000 Baby formula?

01:45:04.000 Yeah.

01:45:04.000 Beatrice should specifically tell people not to make their own.

01:45:07.000 I was actually looking at this today.

01:45:09.000 Part of the problem is that it contains a lot of vitamins and minerals and it is based on cow's milk.

01:45:14.000 I've also heard that goat's milk is a good substitute in some instances.

01:45:19.000 But there you can also sign up for something like the La Leche League if you're having trouble finding formula and there's all sorts of stuff you can do.

01:45:25.000 You just gotta research it.

01:45:26.000 Darth Ribbit says, Matt's a cool dude, but most of Maryland's GOP are rhinos.

01:45:31.000 Hogan being okay with critical race theory is not very cash money.

01:45:34.000 Matt, please don't become a rhino.

01:45:36.000 I will just quickly say on that point, I actually was one of the reporters who first exposed critical race theory's existence in Maryland public schools in Anne Arundel County and in Montgomery County.

01:45:44.000 I've covered both removing police from schools and the leftist insanity in curricula.

01:45:50.000 And, you know, there's sort of this common trope amongst left-wing activists that critical race theory isn't honest, because we all know this.

01:45:55.000 But a parent in Anne Arundel County simply forwarded me an email from the Anne Arundel County Board of Education, which confirmed to parents, yes, critical race theory is taught in Anne Arundel County schools.

01:46:05.000 The specific article that I wrote about it, it was one of the most insane things in education.

01:46:09.000 It's from a pre-K through fifth grade school.

01:46:11.000 So four-year-olds in Maryland public schools in Anne Arundel County were being taught that Japanese internment during World War II, when we intern Japanese American citizens, is like securing the southern border.

01:46:22.000 And that isn't necessarily Critical Race Theory, but in the course of that story, you know, I got an email from the Board of Education saying, yeah, we teach Critical Race Theory here in Annapolis.

01:46:32.000 I'm like, oh my god.

01:46:33.000 What's the story called?

01:46:35.000 Look up Annapolis Critical Race Theory Free Beacon and Japanese Internment Interval pop-up.

01:46:40.000 But with the Free Beacon, you really cannot find our articles on the internet unless you add Free Beacon to the search, but look up Free Beacon Japanese Internment, someone can put it in the chat.

01:46:51.000 Free Beacon Japanese Internment, Maryland Public School, and you'll find it.

01:46:55.000 Clayton Allstrang says, Ian, have you read the Bible?

01:46:58.000 Had discussions with a priest?

01:46:59.000 Or attended church for an extended period of time?

01:47:01.000 I think it would benefit you in your discussions about the Bible and what Shamus and Catholics believe. 0.94

01:47:05.000 I got baptized, and it was the creepiest thing, one of the creepiest things I've ever experienced.

01:47:09.000 I went to a church camp, a Methodist church camp, and this guy was much older than me, I was like 12 or 13, and he was like 18 or something, sat next to me with his tight shorts on, was like, Now, say you take Jesus into your heart.

01:47:20.000 And I went, uh, I take Jesus into my heart.

01:47:22.000 He's like, okay, now you're baptized.

01:47:24.000 And he had the Bible.

01:47:24.000 And it was so weird.

01:47:26.000 Well, that's not, you described one creepy experience with one Christian. 1.00

01:47:30.000 Well, yeah.

01:47:31.000 Like maybe you said a weird creepy experience, bro.

01:47:33.000 I definitely did.

01:47:34.000 Yeah.

01:47:35.000 It was extremely disturbing.

01:47:36.000 And all I had to do was say it out loud.

01:47:37.000 And now it's real.

01:47:38.000 Come on.

01:47:39.000 It's a lifelong journey to be, if you want to live like Christ.

01:47:43.000 The segment being referenced here is when you mentioned that the Mic Check shutdown was very religious.

01:47:52.000 And I've spent time, we used to go to mass twice a week when I was in Catholic school.

01:47:58.000 We left when I was about 10 years old.

01:48:00.000 And so what I can say is, we all knew exactly what we were saying, and reading from the book as it was being explained to us, I feel like it was never adequately explained to me, which is why I left.

01:48:09.000 And there's a big difference between reading from a book and hearing the priest talk to you about what's going on.

01:48:15.000 We had the, um, was it the procession of the cross?

01:48:17.000 Or the crucifixion?

01:48:18.000 What was it called?

01:48:19.000 Oh, the stations of the cross.

01:48:21.000 Yeah, procession.

01:48:22.000 And so we had that on the wall and we had everything explained in great detail.

01:48:26.000 I just felt like the teachers didn't actually explain, like, to me what it all meant.

01:48:31.000 When I go to protests, and people are saying gibberish words, and they don't know what the protest chant is, it's a big difference.

01:48:36.000 Organizers do.

01:48:37.000 It's disorganized.

01:48:38.000 Organized religion is... There's problems with organization as well, but you know, there is organization.

01:48:43.000 This is why it's important also to listen to Joe Biden speak instead of read the text of his words, right?

01:48:48.000 Because if you read the text of his words, especially what you were talking about the Daily Mail with Jen Psaki earlier, it can be made to sound coherent.

01:48:55.000 Then when you watch it, it's like, whoa, this is not the same thing.

01:48:58.000 Even conservatives do this.

01:49:00.000 Conservative outlets tend not to as much, but Biden will say something like, come on, you know, economy, you know, You gotta make it better.

01:49:10.000 Come on.

01:49:11.000 And then the news will say, Joe Biden said we have to make the economy better, or quote, the economy must be better.

01:49:16.000 And it's like, no, he didn't.

01:49:17.000 He stuttered, mumbled, sputtered, and was confused the whole time, right down.

01:49:22.000 If you wrote down quotes from Joe Biden, it would be full of ellipses, ums, uhs, stutters, broken words, and gibberish.

01:49:28.000 You put the word pause in parentheses.

01:49:30.000 At least you do in the theater when you write a script.

01:49:31.000 No, exactly.

01:49:32.000 And whenever they wrote down Trump's words, they included every filler word, every uh, every um, every little pause.

01:49:39.000 They did everything they could to represent how unclean normal natural speech generally is.

01:49:44.000 And then with Joe Biden, they clean up everything he says, even though he sounds like he's slurring half the time.

01:49:49.000 All right.

01:49:50.000 Scraith says, Bill Gates tweeted he has COVID and then disabled replies.

01:49:55.000 That's not surprising.

01:49:57.000 Fireside Story says, Ian, you are telling me that the programmer and creator of the big machine we call the universe can't go to one of his programs and make it pregnant. 0.67

01:50:05.000 Well, I'm saying you have no way of knowing.

01:50:09.000 So why would you believe it?

01:50:10.000 No way of knowing what?

01:50:11.000 If God impregnated Mary.

01:50:14.000 I mean, if you believe that the gospel writers and the other scriptural writers are reliable sources on the other things that they discuss.

01:50:19.000 I don't believe CNN's a reliable source.

01:50:21.000 I don't know.

01:50:22.000 Wait, hold on a second.

01:50:23.000 They have a show called Reliable Sources.

01:50:25.000 Yeah, that proves it.

01:50:26.000 That is true.

01:50:26.000 But hold on, to say, well, like the Bible, so the Bible isn't true because CNN isn't true?

01:50:30.000 Well, I just think, I have no way to verify and fact check where they got their sources, where it comes from, who they were.

01:50:35.000 I don't know.

01:50:36.000 But have you looked into it?

01:50:37.000 I mean, have you looked into that philosophical check in the circle?

01:50:40.000 I'll say this, Ian.

01:50:42.000 You should read the Bible and go to a church, not to become faithful, but to hear what they're saying.

01:50:47.000 You're right about that.

01:50:47.000 To make the argument.

01:50:48.000 And second, I would actually say you should read, like, philosophy.

01:50:53.000 Various philosophical concepts and ideas on knowledge, wisdom, truth, and stuff like that.

01:50:57.000 I know, I know.

01:50:58.000 It's a tough life, because when you are a philosopher, you don't really read what other people thought.

01:51:02.000 You just tell people what you think.

01:51:04.000 So that was my life up until now, but I understand the organization is so important.

01:51:07.000 I think the issue is you are right that you can't prove, but there's deep philosophical questions about why people choose to believe and why people think things are true.

01:51:19.000 Some things are easily discerned as objectively true, like I know that if I throw a rock at a window, there's a great chance the window will break.

01:51:26.000 However, not all windows will break.

01:51:28.000 What if it turns out it was bulletproof and the rock just bounces off?

01:51:30.000 So you might think you know something and then your expectations are shattered when the window doesn't shatter.

01:51:36.000 I think some things we can prove, but I think most things we believe are unproven.

01:51:40.000 Almost, I would say 99% of what humans believe is completely unproven.

01:51:45.000 I just got a book called- To them, to them, I mean, to them.

01:51:47.000 I got a book called Creating Christ, How Roman Emperors Invented Christianity.

01:51:50.000 I mentioned it on the show a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, that there's this concept that the Romans created Christianity to disempower the Jews because the Jews were a threat to their imperial authority.

01:51:59.000 And I like that.

01:52:00.000 But you're right, Tim, that I shouldn't just read books that I want to verify my own beliefs about.

01:52:05.000 I should be reading the Bible, the other stuff as well, to understand the entire context.

01:52:09.000 Hold on.

01:52:11.000 Sorry.

01:52:12.000 Ian, have you ever placed graphene under an electron microscope?

01:52:15.000 Not yet, baby.

01:52:15.000 I'm such a follower.

01:52:16.000 just believe everything you've said about graphene?

01:52:18.000 I'm such a follower.

01:52:19.000 No, see, this is important that you'd come out and be like, how do I know the Bible's

01:52:23.000 real? How do I know? But you've never as well.

01:52:24.000 I've read bits of the Bible.

01:52:26.000 But as much as you have have proselytized the power of graphene, you never actually

01:52:31.000 looked under and under a microscope.

01:52:32.000 You want me to start a graphene company?

01:52:34.000 I can sense it.

01:52:34.000 No, no, no.

01:52:35.000 I'm challenging your position on... You want me to start a microscope company?

01:52:37.000 No, but I would not tell you... I would not stake my life on this, but I don't... I mean, I believe it because the scientific method's awesome and I've read enough scientific articles about it and looked at images of what they tell me is microscopy and stuff like that.

01:52:48.000 Oh, and I'm sure that there's, I mean, there's a Shroud of Turin.

01:52:51.000 I got a coin for Seamus that's allegedly one of the Three Wise Men's currency or whatever.

01:52:56.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:52:56.000 There's a bunch of that kind of stuff. 0.99

01:52:58.000 My point is, I do think some things are, yes, electron microscopes, you can do the work.

01:53:02.000 I'm just saying, not that things true or aren't true, not that religion is true or not true.

01:53:06.000 I'm saying, if you're going to advocate the power of graphene with such fervor, I would at least expect you to stand by your own standard and have done the personal research into analyzing yourself.

01:53:18.000 I was in South America to start a graphene company.

01:53:20.000 I got, I guess you could call it derailed and came here, but I mean, I'm glad I'm here.

01:53:23.000 Well, there are people in South America who went on missions to preach the word of the gospel.

01:53:26.000 It doesn't mean they've proven it's true and you haven't proven graphene is what it is.

01:53:29.000 No, I haven't.

01:53:29.000 No, but it's not why I'm here.

01:53:30.000 And I would not proselytize this stuff.

01:53:32.000 Apparently, boraphene is awesome.

01:53:33.000 Hey, I tried to read the Quran.

01:53:34.000 I bought a Quran because I'm like, I gotta know.

01:53:36.000 It is so hard it was so hard for me to read because it's a lot about he he makes a he says a word as if it had already everyone already knows what it means and then he use any capitalizes the word in the sentence and it's really weird like it's really culty and like You gotta already want to believe it to believe it.

01:53:52.000 This is exactly like Marxism, where you read Karl Marx and you're like, this is nonsensical gibberish with a lot of mathematical formulas that don't make sense.

01:54:00.000 And so you sort of know that all of the people who are protesting in all these streets have never opened Das Kapital or any of the Marxism that they claim to believe.

01:54:07.000 But anyway, that's also a religion.

01:54:09.000 Let's read more Super Chats. 0.87

01:54:11.000 All right, Mr. Ross Lyon says, Ultra MAGA, Adeptus MAGAs, purging progressive heresy across the Imperium in the name of God Emperor Trump.

01:54:20.000 Well, there you go.

01:54:22.000 All right, Pete Hodges says, Funny story, I was on a project in Maryland in 2015.

01:54:26.000 I never believed the Trump candidacy was viable until I moved to Eastern Maryland and talked to the locals.

01:54:31.000 I've heard this.

01:54:32.000 I was talking to Max, Max Kaiser and Stacey, and they were mentioning how they're in Europe.

01:54:40.000 And they kept hearing everyone hated Trump.

01:54:42.000 But then when they landed back in the U.S.

01:54:43.000 and saw the Trump signs everywhere, they were like, he's going to win.

01:54:47.000 The media is totally wrong about this.

01:54:49.000 People, people were very much, they were voting for Trump, man.

01:54:52.000 But also if they didn't run Hillary Clinton. 1.00

01:54:56.000 Yeah, Bernie would have beat Trump, I think.

01:54:57.000 A lot of people don't like to hear it, but, yo, Trump won, I think, by, what was it, like, 88,000 votes across three different states?

01:55:04.000 That pushed him over the edge of the Electoral College?

01:55:06.000 Yeah.

01:55:06.000 Hillary Clinton was just not popular.

01:55:09.000 She didn't campaign in Wisconsin.

01:55:10.000 I know!

01:55:10.000 She didn't want to win.

01:55:11.000 I mean, this is classic liberals taking everything for granted.

01:55:13.000 Yep.

01:55:14.000 They were in a bubble.

01:55:15.000 The media bubble.

01:55:16.000 That's it.

01:55:17.000 And it only got worse.

01:55:19.000 Anno says, if Joe Biden did something illicit while being VP and or president, he should be impeached.

01:55:24.000 If you don't uphold the law for everyone, you effectively have no law.

01:55:27.000 Which is why I said the protesters in front of the Supreme Court justices' homes should be arrested.

01:55:33.000 Because that's what the law is for.

01:55:34.000 That's why we have law, right?

01:55:37.000 All right.

01:55:38.000 The Aaron says, I'm seeing Ted Cruz soon.

01:55:41.000 What question should I ask?

01:55:43.000 Bitcoin or Ethereum?

01:55:45.000 No.

01:55:45.000 More serious question.

01:55:47.000 I mean, that's the future is crypto.

01:55:48.000 If you guys want to talk about economics and where we're headed as a country, like, are you on the Ethereum blockchain, Ted, or do you use the Bitcoin blockchain for real?

01:55:55.000 That's my question.

01:55:55.000 I don't know.

01:55:56.000 Is that even a question for Ted Cruz?

01:55:57.000 I have no idea.

01:55:59.000 Where's the best place to go on vacation in Cancun?

01:56:01.000 Yeah.

01:56:02.000 Well, where were you going?

01:56:04.000 Did you take mushrooms before you grew out your beard?

01:56:06.000 Because you look like you had a psychological awakening.

01:56:09.000 TheRealHayden says, would Ian fight a war for graphene?

01:56:11.000 Serious question.

01:56:13.000 That's a little vague.

01:56:15.000 And so I guess the answer is... Like there's a gigantic graphene mine.

01:56:18.000 No.

01:56:19.000 And Russia invades Antarctica.

01:56:21.000 We can mine the carbon dioxide out of the air if there's a... I would... No.

01:56:25.000 No.

01:56:25.000 The answer is no.

01:56:26.000 Let's say in the middle of Antarctica is this massive reservoir they find a vein of just pure graphene and they're like...

01:56:33.000 Whoever gains this graphene will have untold powers.

01:56:35.000 And then Vladimir Putin, like, is riding in on, like, the massive Russian multi-billion dollar war jet.

01:56:41.000 Have you heard the story?

01:56:42.000 They have, like, a full command center plane that can, like, run their whole government or something.

01:56:47.000 Like, their military.

01:56:48.000 And he's going to get the graphene.

01:56:50.000 And the United States says, Ian, you're the only one.

01:56:52.000 We need to send you in to fight for this graphene.

01:56:54.000 I'd be like, well, first of all, that I'm the only one, there's a problem that I'm the only one that can do this.

01:56:58.000 What's that?

01:56:58.000 I think you would win.

01:57:01.000 I don't even know what winning means these days.

01:57:11.000 Trump has said he does not want to be Speaker of the House.

01:57:13.000 But would you want him to be Speaker of the House?

01:57:15.000 I'm not going to make anyone Speaker who doesn't want to be Speaker.

01:57:18.000 That's a horrible job that I would not really wish on someone who doesn't desperately want to do that.

01:57:22.000 It's just, and then you impeach Joe Kamala and Nancy.

01:57:24.000 It is sort of like, it's that meme where it's like, you know, straightforward from here, you know, but, uh, technically that would be possible, but Trump has been asked about this multiple times.

01:57:33.000 Would you, would you like to be Speaker?

01:57:35.000 Because a fun fact, you know, Tim could be Speaker of the House if he got the majority votes.

01:57:38.000 You don't have to be a member of Congress to actually be Speaker of the House, but I don't think that Trump wants to be a member of Congress.

01:57:44.000 I would not accept.

01:57:46.000 The Engaged Few says, Tim, can you ask that guy if he'd be willing to introduce a constitutional amendment repealing the 17th and return the elections of senators to the state legislatures?

01:57:55.000 Pre-17th, senators average 10 years, 6 years.

01:58:00.000 Am I that guy?

01:58:01.000 No, because no one knows who their state legislators are.

01:58:05.000 That's why.

01:58:05.000 I don't know about that.

01:58:08.000 I don't think that anyone, I mean this is an unfortunate reality, is most people pay very little attention to local politics.

01:58:15.000 National politics sort of consumes everything.

01:58:17.000 I think you would give elected state legislators way more power.

01:58:22.000 That's what actually what it was.

01:58:23.000 The original idea of the Senate was that the state reps would choose, they would all vote, and that it was up to you to vote locally, and your local reps would then elect a senator to go to the federal government to represent the state.

01:58:37.000 And the problem, the reason they got rid of it, is that they felt that there was too much backroom dealing.

01:58:42.000 I was about to say, this sounds like you're just giving 30 people the ability to elect a U.S.

01:58:47.000 senator.

01:58:47.000 But it's so much easier to get rid of a state rep or a state senator than it is to get rid of a senator.

01:58:54.000 I think we gotta get rid of 17. 0.91

01:58:55.000 But if we did remove direct election of senators, though, then all of that energy would then immediately shift to state rep races. 0.87

01:59:01.000 Absolutely.

01:59:02.000 And the issue is, a state rep has a much smaller population, so it's much easier to communicate with your local community and get that rep or senator in.

01:59:12.000 As opposed to a federal-level senator, which is the entire state, which people feel helpless.

01:59:16.000 It's like, I'm in Illinois, what's the point?

01:59:17.000 I'm not voting.

01:59:18.000 It's like, well, imagine if you went around to your local communities and got the state legislature.

01:59:23.000 Now all of a sudden, a state with Chicago in it could actually get a Republican senator.

01:59:28.000 So I think it's worth it.

01:59:29.000 Well, in Illinois, though, the legislature is still incredibly dominated by Democrats as well.

01:59:34.000 Yeah.

01:59:34.000 I mean, it's theory, but no.

01:59:37.000 I'm in favor.

01:59:38.000 I like as many people being involved in elections as possible.

01:59:42.000 I think, uh, it was a check.

01:59:44.000 It was the states.

01:59:45.000 Senate was supposed to be the states represented, and the Congress is the people.

01:59:50.000 So, I think getting rid of that was a problem.

01:59:52.000 But, uh, I agree to disagree.

01:59:53.000 Alright.

01:59:54.000 Yeah, you don't have to beat me with the cane over at my video.

01:59:56.000 No, no, no canes here.

01:59:58.000 Agreeing Clover says, for Seamus and Ian, I just found a Catholic prophecy called the Hermit of Loreto.

02:00:04.000 It was founded in the 70s, saying Trump would serve two terms, but they wouldn't be back-to-back.

02:00:10.000 Check it out.

02:00:10.000 So be very careful.

02:00:11.000 This is not something that's actually... I mean, this is someone who is Catholic who's saying they have a prophecy.

02:00:15.000 That does not mean it's part of Catholic teaching or something that's been endorsed by the Catholic Church.

02:00:19.000 So confirmed.

02:00:19.000 Seamus confirmed.

02:00:20.000 All right.

02:00:21.000 I think Ian probably already knew about this.

02:00:22.000 Seamus speaks for me, yes.

02:00:24.000 All right.

02:00:25.000 Let's grab just... We'll grab a couple more here.

02:00:28.000 Mon Hoden says, I work at Walmart and our store is getting no meat at all tomorrow.

02:00:33.000 We usually get four pallets a day.

02:00:35.000 The food shortage is already here.

02:00:38.000 And that's why, uh, you know, I've been consistently shouting out safe and ready meals.com.

02:00:43.000 This is not a promo.

02:00:44.000 I'm just mentioning it.

02:00:45.000 And why I was shocked when the left consistently was making fun of that idea.

02:00:50.000 I don't care.

02:00:51.000 Y'all can make fun of it all day and night.

02:00:53.000 Doesn't the left also, like, use weird things to grow, like, kombucha in their own, you know, little apartments in Brooklyn, and now they're mocking having actual food that you can eat in a problem?

02:01:04.000 There's an article Vice wrote, and they're like, where are these people now?

02:01:07.000 And it's like, Tim Pool is shilling for emergency food.

02:01:10.000 And I'm like, I'm going to print that out and frame it.

02:01:14.000 I could probably do it now, because the food shortage is already getting bad.

02:01:17.000 And I'll put it next to all of the complaints from people in New York where they're like, there's no food at my store.

02:01:22.000 And I'll be like, yo, the people that prepare for this stuff, you should still be worried about it because you don't want to eat emergency food until you absolutely have to.

02:01:30.000 Like when you literally can't get anything anymore.

02:01:32.000 But I'll tell you who's laughing, the preppers.

02:01:36.000 They're sitting on their mound of three months of beans and they're like, heh.

02:01:40.000 They probably have a lot of the corn. 0.55

02:01:41.000 Yeah, well, they have a lot of the corn. 0.97

02:01:43.000 The left has also been saying for years that we have a catastrophic climate change problem and the coasts are going to flood and the world as we know it is going to end and then they turn around and call you stupid for having emergency food. 0.97

02:01:55.000 Okay. 1.00

02:01:56.000 Build an ark and they're like, you're so dumb. 0.98

02:01:58.000 It's like you told me that everything was... Yeah, the world is ending in 12 years, but... That's what that creationism museum actually is, the ark that they have built. 0.97

02:02:05.000 Obama buys waterfront property Yeah, Pelosi too.

02:02:09.000 Amazing.

02:03:05.000 Yeah.

02:03:06.000 Oh, dude.

02:03:06.000 Right on.

02:03:07.000 My name's Seamus.

02:03:08.000 I make cartoons at a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.

02:03:10.000 I do them mostly about political matters and cultural matters, so if you guys are interested in that, please go check it out.

02:03:16.000 I think you'll enjoy it.

02:03:17.000 I want to give a shout out to the Hermit of Loreto. 1.00

02:03:19.000 I'll give you a little context.

02:03:20.000 The astonishing 1980 prophecy of President Donald J. Trump.

02:03:23.000 Quote, Donald J. Trump will lead America back to God.

02:03:26.000 End quote.

02:03:26.000 Father Giacomo Capoberdi.

02:03:29.000 I don't know how you... something like that.

02:03:31.000 But apparently not Catholic doctrine.

02:03:33.000 It's not like as a Catholic you are required to believe that.

02:03:35.000 I just like to be careful.

02:03:36.000 I like to be very careful because it's not like this is the official position of the Catholic Church.

02:03:41.000 This is a Catholic hermit who said that this is a prophecy. 0.99

02:03:44.000 Some number of Catholics believe them.

02:03:46.000 I want to know if Donald Trump saw that prophecy in 1980.

02:03:48.000 Let's ask him when we see him.

02:03:49.000 And that's why he decided to run.

02:03:50.000 Bye, everyone.

02:03:52.000 Thank you guys very much for tuning in this evening and joining us for a little bit of local-slash-federal-level politics.
