Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden Says "She Was 12, I Was 30" And Everyone LAUGHS w-Nick Palmisciano

00:00:00.000 Joe Biden said.

00:00:28.000 She was 12 and I was 30.

00:00:30.000 And then all of the teachers start laughing and cheering and clapping in what many people are saying is an inappropriate remark.

00:00:39.000 Okay, it's Friday night, so we're gonna be chilling, having a good time.

00:00:42.000 But for Joe Biden to be speaking, point to someone and say, she was 12 and I was 30.

00:00:46.000 Is he not self-aware?

00:00:49.000 Does he understand like, hey, hey, hey, wow, don't, Biden, don't go there.

00:00:54.000 That's who you are.

00:00:56.000 And I guess it is who he is.

00:00:58.000 And it's also funny because it was a speech for teachers, and they all start clapping and laughing, so I'm just like, uh-huh.

00:01:03.000 Yeah, okay, what else is new?

00:01:05.000 Well, there's that, and what we know about Joe Biden.

00:01:08.000 And then there's the Matt Gaetz story.

00:01:10.000 This is huge.

00:01:12.000 We gotta break down.

00:01:13.000 This is a, I think, I would not be surprised if this was a conspiracy.

00:01:16.000 Actually, no, wait, it is a conspiracy.

00:01:18.000 I think that's proven.

00:01:20.000 Matt Gaetz was accused of serious impropriety.

00:01:25.000 And apparently he was under investigation because they claimed that I think, you know, a few years ago he was hooking up with a 17-year-old or something.

00:01:32.000 And so all of these leftists started saying, you know, child trafficking investigation or something, even though it was like a 17-year-old.

00:01:37.000 But it was fake news.

00:01:38.000 Matt Gaetz said it was not true.

00:01:40.000 And there was a guy extorting Matt Gaetz's dad, saying, I can make that go away.

00:01:45.000 That guy gets prosecuted.

00:01:46.000 He's getting prosecuted.

00:01:47.000 He gets five years.

00:01:49.000 And now the prosecutors are recommending no charges for Matt Gaetz because the witnesses have no credibility.

00:01:55.000 In other words, it sounds like the story was fake from the beginning, Matt Gaetz's family was being extorted, and somebody was leaking it to the press because tribalism, chaos, whatever you want to call it.

00:02:07.000 Talk about an insane story.

00:02:10.000 So we'll get into all that, my friends, but before we get started, head over to TimCast.com.

00:02:27.000 We had a good time earlier in the week.

00:02:28.000 We played Mary, Bang, and Dite, because we try to pull the violence out of it.

00:02:33.000 But that was a lot of good fun, and that was definitely not for the kids, so that's on the website.

00:02:37.000 And we've got other shows like Tales from the Inverted World and the new Inverted World conversational show live is in production and might even be ready to go within a couple of weeks.

00:02:46.000 It's going to be a whole lot of fun.

00:02:50.000 Don't forget to smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, be the notification.

00:02:55.000 A lot of people have been telling us for a while now, YouTube is not notifying anybody of the show going live.

00:03:01.000 And some people are like, you know, maybe you're being shadow banned.

00:03:03.000 Okay, well, here's what you can do.

00:03:05.000 You can prove that their censorship won't work.

00:03:08.000 Take the URL and share it so you can be the notification.

00:03:12.000 I've started tweeting out the link to the show.

00:03:13.000 I didn't know it used to do that.

00:03:14.000 We're going to start pushing this because if they want to start deranking us, then all you guys have to do to support us is share it and it'll be 10 times more powerful than any of their censorship attempts.

00:03:25.000 So again, smash that like button.

00:03:26.000 Joining us today To talk about all of this and more is Nick Palmashano.

00:03:32.000 You nailed it.

00:03:33.000 I was worried for a second.

00:03:33.000 Nailed it!

00:03:36.000 I really appreciate you guys having me on.

00:03:38.000 Who are you?

00:03:39.000 That's a great question.

00:03:40.000 I think that it was Socrates that said that.

00:03:44.000 Okay.

00:03:46.000 Yeah, so, you know, just recently, I created a documentary called Send Me that was about the fall of Afghanistan, the fall of Kabul.

00:03:55.000 And I was one of the the 12 guys in our group, middle aged dudes that went over to Afghanistan, you know, as it was all falling apart to evacuate As many people as possible.

00:04:07.000 Prior to that, I've made a couple of Hollywood movies, comedies, dramas.

00:04:13.000 And prior to that, I started a company called Ranger Up, which was the first military lifestyle brand.

00:04:20.000 Cornered Tim Kennedy in the UFC and Strikeforce for 12 years.

00:04:25.000 And before all that, I was an army officer.

00:04:27.000 So that's the that's the abbreviated version of my life.

00:04:30.000 So you have a lot of stories about what went down when Afghanistan fell.

00:04:33.000 A lot of stories.

00:04:35.000 It was already, even before the show, we were talking a little bit about it and it was crazy that we were hearing.

00:04:38.000 So we'll definitely get into all that stuff.

00:04:40.000 So thanks for hanging out, man.

00:04:41.000 We also have the t-shirt vendor himself.

00:04:43.000 Humble t-shirt vendor.

00:04:44.000 The most humble.

00:04:46.000 Today I'm wearing a little history lesson on my shirt that reminds people of what democide is.

00:04:46.000 Absolutely.

00:04:52.000 It says specifically, the government is way deadlier than any virus.

00:04:55.000 And this is a great conversation starter, especially at Thanksgiving, the small talk at the airport.

00:05:02.000 This is the best way to start these conversations.

00:05:05.000 You could start them by just simply going to thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

00:05:09.000 That's the website.

00:05:10.000 Hope to see you there.

00:05:10.000 Thanks for having me.

00:05:11.000 I want everyone to imagine sitting down for Thanksgiving and like the turkey's brought out and everyone's smiling and then Luke grabs the knife and he goes, so the government kills a lot of people.

00:05:21.000 Do you know who really is the turkey?

00:05:22.000 Do you know what they put in this turkey?

00:05:27.000 Don't get me going.

00:05:28.000 And these are the shirts that are okay here.

00:05:30.000 They're shirts that are censored.

00:05:31.000 We can't even show you, so.

00:05:32.000 It's true.

00:05:33.000 I want to point you guys, if you didn't see earlier today, Pop Culture Crisis on YouTube.

00:05:36.000 I was on from three to six.

00:05:38.000 I'm Ian Crossland.

00:05:39.000 You can catch me at iancrossland.net if you want to get through.

00:05:41.000 Nick, I'm glad you're here, man.

00:05:42.000 I talk a lot about this Afghanistan surrender is how I've been framing it because that's what happened.

00:05:49.000 Equipment and humans were surrendered by a hapless military command.

00:05:53.000 At least that's from what I see.

00:05:55.000 So I'm happy you're here because I want to talk to you about it.

00:05:56.000 I appreciate it.

00:05:57.000 Get what you see.

00:05:58.000 Yeah, as soon as I booked Nick, I was like, man, Ian's gonna love talking to this guy.

00:06:02.000 So I'm really excited for tonight's conversation.

00:06:04.000 Thank you guys all for tuning in.

00:06:05.000 Thank you all for notifying your friends about our show.

00:06:08.000 We deeply appreciate that.

00:06:09.000 Let's get going.

00:06:10.000 Yeah, when Afghanistan comes up in conversation, it looks like Ian has personally been slapped by Joe Biden.

00:06:17.000 He's like glowing and levitating.

00:06:18.000 He's just like... When you hear the stories of like Tim Kennedy, you've worked with Tim, was explaining, I think it might have been on one of Rogan's podcasts like a couple months ago or three months ago.

00:06:28.000 When the women were trying to get their babies into the military, into the airport, and they had no choice but to try and throw them over the wall, babies, and then they'd get caught in barbed wire because they didn't know there's barbed wire on both sides. 1.00

00:06:41.000 That's right.

00:06:42.000 Oh man.

00:06:43.000 All right, let's start with something that's still kind of depressing, but at least a little funny in some sense.

00:06:49.000 From the New York Post, quote, she was 12, I was 30.

00:06:53.000 Biden leaves viewers stunned in teacher's speech.

00:06:57.000 Correction, New York Post.

00:06:58.000 The crowd cheers for him.

00:07:00.000 They laugh loudly.

00:07:01.000 They laugh loudly.

00:07:02.000 It's very funny when a guy makes a joke about, that's a very large age gap you've got there.

00:07:09.000 They say, President Biden shocked viewers on his Friday speech to teachers when he recognized an audience member and told the crowd she was 12 and I was 30.

00:07:17.000 Biden lit up social media with a confounding and seemingly inappropriate aside.

00:07:21.000 He did not say what he did when he was 30 and the win was a preteen.

00:07:25.000 You gotta say hi to me, Biden said mid-speech at the National Education Association headquarters in DC.

00:07:30.000 We go back a long way.

00:07:32.000 She was 12 and I was 30.

00:07:34.000 But anyway, this woman helped me get an awful lot done.

00:07:38.000 As a 12 year old?

00:07:38.000 Huh.

00:07:41.000 That's maybe later in life.

00:07:42.000 But why would he bring that up?

00:07:44.000 What is she helping him get done?

00:07:44.000 I don't know.

00:07:45.000 Who is this woman anyway? 1.00

00:07:47.000 This is all a mystery to me.

00:07:48.000 So there's two possibilities here.

00:07:50.000 One, he's absolutely brain fried and can't even talk properly. 1.00

00:07:54.000 Two, he's a very dirty, perverted, bad person. 1.00

00:07:58.000 That's a fact. 1.00

00:07:58.000 That we can't even mention. 1.00

00:07:59.000 And there's a lot of other activity that happened before this, whether it's the Ashley Biden diary, whether it's the bunch of creepy videos that are being censored by big tech social media, whether it's him kissing his granddaughter on the mouth.

00:08:11.000 Two times, at least two times that we know on record.

00:08:16.000 And him being a career politician, when you're in Washington, D.C., we know for a fact intelligence agencies use sex and use underage children as a form of extortion, as a form of manipulation.

00:08:30.000 So him being in Washington, D.C.

00:08:32.000 this long and so many other things that happened beforehand definitely raised some serious questions from my perspective.

00:08:38.000 I just wanna, I'm pulling this up right here and hopefully this image comes.

00:08:42.000 So when people are like, why do you think Joe Biden's a pedo?

00:08:45.000 Well, it's like, well, here's him kissing his granddaughter on the lips in front of a public crowd.

00:08:48.000 How much time do you have?

00:08:50.000 She's definitely kissing him too.

00:08:52.000 How many videos?

00:08:53.000 She kissed me! 0.95

00:08:54.000 Biden's like, hey man, I don't know what's going on, that was my wife.

00:08:58.000 Look at this, look at this.

00:08:59.000 Look at the people, look at this lady behind. 1.00

00:09:02.000 Like, look how happy they all are.

00:09:02.000 She's loving it.

00:09:04.000 It's the weirdest thing, isn't it?

00:09:06.000 Yeah, mouth kisses is kind of a weird thing.

00:09:09.000 Am I missing something?

00:09:10.000 I don't know what world y'all are from.

00:09:10.000 Look, I don't know.

00:09:13.000 The world I'm from, family members kissing each other on the lips is like, not a thing.

00:09:18.000 I remember when I was a kid, my grandma kissed her on the mouth once.

00:09:18.000 Doesn't happen.

00:09:22.000 And one time I felt like her wetness out of the, between the lips.

00:09:25.000 I was like, that's good.

00:09:27.000 And it tasted like whiskey because they were drinking whiskey.

00:09:30.000 Gross.

00:09:30.000 Yeah.

00:09:31.000 But why is everybody like staring at Joe Biden kissing his granddaughter?

00:09:34.000 It's not the only time he's done it, but they're all very happy about it.

00:09:37.000 Like, they're laughing.

00:09:39.000 Wasn't he referred to as Pedo Pete by somebody?

00:09:42.000 Wasn't that also a thing recently?

00:09:42.000 Yeah, his own son.

00:09:44.000 If you remember that as well?

00:09:46.000 And, you know, the behavior there is very eye-opening.

00:09:50.000 And, again, you can jump to your own assertions and conclusions, but there's a trail of behavior here that is worrisome.

00:09:57.000 Look, here's another one.

00:09:58.000 I don't get it.

00:10:01.000 Is this like a like a Delaware thing?

00:10:03.000 People in Delaware like kiss their grandchildren on the lips?

00:10:07.000 Oh, man.

00:10:07.000 I don't think so.

00:10:08.000 Yeah.

00:10:09.000 That's oddly specific.

00:10:10.000 Yeah, I think I think Joe Biden abused Hunter.

00:10:13.000 It explains all of Hunter's behavior.

00:10:15.000 It was Hunter at least allegedly they called him pedo Peter.

00:10:18.000 I don't know where that came from.

00:10:19.000 If it was like in his texts.

00:10:20.000 That was like the phone backup that got released, right?

00:10:24.000 Yeah, I've only heard I haven't like seen I don't even know how I would verify it if I saw it if I would even be real or not.

00:10:30.000 But it's a little disturbing if that's real.

00:10:32.000 And all the teachers are cheering for it.

00:10:34.000 That sounds about right.

00:10:35.000 Yeah, I guess so.

00:10:36.000 You'll see people cheering for this being reality at this point.

00:10:39.000 Today we're going to get on to the sound bar!

00:10:41.000 And they're like, yeah!

00:10:46.000 Don't make a noise!

00:10:47.000 When he said, Trinidad and Jobba to pressure, and they're like, yeah!

00:10:51.000 It's like, what the?

00:10:52.000 What's going on?

00:10:53.000 It's the emotion, the tone cue, and that makes everyone clap and cheer, but it's not even a logical expression.

00:11:00.000 It's very strange.

00:11:01.000 I kind of feel like if you had a stage with Biden on it, and then his supporters on stage with him, but you could see it.

00:11:08.000 And then he said something like, next no arrest in Batacaf care!

00:11:11.000 And they all started cheering, I'd be laughing.

00:11:12.000 This is a great show.

00:11:13.000 This is hilarious. 1.00

00:11:14.000 These people are so dumb. 1.00

00:11:17.000 It's the world we live in, I guess. 1.00

00:11:18.000 That's our president.

00:11:19.000 Meanwhile, the economy's imploding.

00:11:21.000 You got the market tanked.

00:11:23.000 What is it?

00:11:24.000 The Dow Jones fell below.

00:11:27.000 I think when Biden first started, it was at 30,300.

00:11:31.000 So the economy's worse.

00:11:31.000 Now it's down to 29.

00:11:32.000 Yeah, you can see in this picture, the Dow is down.

00:11:36.000 You can see the red and the arrow.

00:11:37.000 Oh yeah, look at this!

00:11:39.000 That's amazing.

00:11:40.000 Look at this clip.

00:11:41.000 As we're showing Joe Biden, Talking about some 12 year old that he knew when he was 30.

00:11:46.000 You can see the Dow watch showing a drop of nearly two percentage points.

00:11:50.000 So yeah, you know, how you guys doing?

00:11:53.000 I'm looking at the Dow all time.

00:11:58.000 It's tough to tell because they'll print large amounts of money that'll naturally inflate the Dow.

00:12:02.000 Just because there's more capital doesn't mean the economy is doing better though.

00:12:05.000 Well, you know, just to put on my conspiracy hat, if I could, just for a little bit, let me dust it off here.

00:12:12.000 If you do look at a lot of the Biden policies, they have directly created this economic havoc that we're dealing with for the benefit of the few ruling elites.

00:12:21.000 And this is why a lot of people make the assertions and theorize that maybe there is some dirt on Biden that some very powerful people have on him that they're using to, of course, Maybe, maybe, but I think dirt's the wrong way to look at it.

00:12:34.000 I think it's more like you can do what you want if you do as you're told.

00:12:36.000 working in the best interest of the select few who might have dirt on him

00:12:40.000 and they're using that dirt in order to push these policies wrecking the economy. 0.76

00:12:43.000 Maybe, maybe, but I think dirt's the wrong way to look at it. I think it's more like

00:12:47.000 you can do what you want if you do as you're told. You know what I mean?

00:12:52.000 Yes, and then there could be an extortion operation.

00:12:55.000 I think that's a little bit more likely.

00:12:56.000 I don't know, you work in those, you know.

00:12:58.000 I think in general terms, I think it's less about stuff like that.

00:13:01.000 I just think it's more that large businesses, the elite, have really significant lobbying power.

00:13:07.000 And donation power, and you know, their businesses can donate and super PACs can donate.

00:13:12.000 You know, if you think about, you know, our GDP and our success, almost all of it comes from small business, because small business and you guys know this, you're a small business, you hire people, you know, you're always growing, you're thinking about how do I do more?

00:13:25.000 How do I get bigger, large business thinks about efficiency, offshoring, saving money.

00:13:31.000 And so there's nobody that represents the average American, the small business owner, there's nobody that is truly putting money, time lobbying efforts into that.

00:13:41.000 And so, you know, you end up with people that are that only care about, you know, significant interests.

00:13:49.000 I wonder what Biden does when he like, I think he sleeps most of the time.

00:13:52.000 And then they wake him up and give him pills.

00:13:55.000 Or, you know, maybe they're, yeah, maybe injections.

00:13:58.000 They've got big businesses very much about the stockholders and forever.

00:14:02.000 It's been about stockholder value stockholder.

00:14:04.000 Now they're adding on shareholder value share.

00:14:08.000 Am I getting this right?

00:14:10.000 Well, that's like the Klaus Schwab thing is like.

00:14:14.000 Planetary stakeholders, I think it's stakeholders.

00:14:18.000 Now they're going from shareholders, which are the stock owners to us stakeholders as well, which is who has stake in this company doing well, which honestly is up for it's up for debate like If it's a company that wants to clean the water in Portugal, then all of the Portuguese citizens become a stakeholder in that company doing well, and then they can, I don't know enough about it to start going off on it.

00:14:40.000 I've actually been starting to read Klaus Schwab's recent book, and I'll definitely let you know more, but it's, you know, it's a way to manipulate, to get corporations, like ESG is like, are you doing well for your stakeholders as well as your shareholders?

00:14:53.000 Are you making the world a better place for your stakeholders?

00:14:55.000 The ESG stuff is the Communist Party of America.

00:14:58.000 So you have the Communist Party of China, and what they do is they get an office in all of these companies.

00:15:02.000 You open a company, they gotta have an office there, and they control if you're in line with the message.

00:15:09.000 And at some point, some US interests were like, man, that's a good idea.

00:15:12.000 We could totally control everything if we just forced this.

00:15:16.000 So you had this guy, Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:15:22.000 Yeah, he was ragging on Disney because he was like, you're doing things that are hurting the company for ESG stuff.

00:15:29.000 Stop doing that.

00:15:30.000 And then he even called out State Street Vanguard and was it BlackRock?

00:15:33.000 I think so.

00:15:34.000 Yeah, he was like, just because they're big shareholders doesn't mean you do what they say.

00:15:37.000 They represent people and the people don't want any of this stuff.

00:15:41.000 But here's the thing, man.

00:15:43.000 Those three, they own basically everything.

00:15:46.000 They've got huge percentages of basically everything.

00:15:48.000 Superwoke, ESG, they're trying to control... You know what it is?

00:15:53.000 It's kind of like...

00:15:55.000 I don't know if coup is the right word, because it's not like they're storming the gates and taking over.

00:15:59.000 But they're definitely slowly taking over everything, and they're doing it through the private sector.

00:16:03.000 And the public sector, to be honest.

00:16:06.000 But they're going into the private sector through ESG, as basically the Communist Party of China does.

00:16:12.000 And they're getting their offices, they're getting their influence.

00:16:15.000 And then if you don't do as you're told, you get banned, you get the axe, you get shut out of society.

00:16:19.000 We can't let them gain more control, simply put.

00:16:22.000 Gotta fight back.

00:16:24.000 How do you do that?

00:16:25.000 Start small businesses.

00:16:26.000 Start your own business.

00:16:27.000 Make your own TV shows.

00:16:28.000 Incorporate.

00:16:29.000 Mock Disney as they collapse.

00:16:31.000 So he's telling Disney, he's like, you've got to stop this.

00:16:33.000 And I'm kind of like, no, wait, don't.

00:16:35.000 Let Disney rot itself to the core.

00:16:38.000 OK, we'll make we'll make our own show with Ian.

00:16:41.000 That's right. 0.91

00:16:42.000 No hookers. 1.00

00:16:43.000 Bucko! 0.99

00:16:44.000 Yeah, we were just talking today about a lot of content is like, people are creating like Christian content.

00:16:49.000 Like there's PureFlix, which is starting to ramp up.

00:16:51.000 Hallmark has their own.

00:16:52.000 DailyWire.

00:16:53.000 PureFlix?

00:16:54.000 I've never heard of PureFlix.

00:16:55.000 Been around since 2005.

00:16:56.000 But people don't want to be bashed over the head with it.

00:16:59.000 So you've got to figure out what's the next phase.

00:17:01.000 And I think the next phase is sci-fi that takes into account like the cosmology and this new physics where we're finding like cosmic microwave background radiation that kind of looks like neurons in the brain.

00:17:10.000 And you're like, wow, maybe there is a God.

00:17:12.000 And if you can kind of take people in that direction, you know, you can kind of bring God into the conversation and kind of ground it in like morality, but still have cool sci-fi message on top of that.

00:17:23.000 I mean the whole thing kind of depresses me because I remember there was a time where there it wasn't like right content or left content you know it was content you like a movie or a show or whatever you know was about you know whatever the topic of the day was or but it wasn't like you watched a show or a host or whatever because they had a specific view it was You know, you came on, you had discussions about complex topics, and people got into it, and they could disagree, and that was acceptable.

00:17:51.000 And I definitely feel like, and you know, full disclosure, like I said earlier, I'm moderate.

00:18:00.000 I do feel like if you're a conservative, you know, you have fewer opportunities to have your voice heard.

00:18:07.000 And you see it in businesses.

00:18:08.000 Like, I have friends that own, you know, whether they're Second Amendment businesses or 2A adjacent.

00:18:15.000 Like, I have a friend that owns a company called Fieldcraft Survival.

00:18:19.000 Mike Glover.

00:18:19.000 Oh yeah, we love Mike.

00:18:20.000 He was on the show a few months ago.

00:18:22.000 Mike's amazing.

00:18:23.000 I mean, he's one of the best people I've ever met.

00:18:25.000 And, you know, he's essentially, you know, targeted as almost a domestic terrorist.

00:18:30.000 And it's insane.

00:18:31.000 This is a guy that, you know, served You know, in special forces, you know, I have not found a single human being that doesn't like him.

00:18:39.000 And, you know, the special operations and military community is a lot like a sorority where people like to talk about each other.

00:18:44.000 You know, there's a lot of that.

00:18:45.000 Like, everybody's got a little bit of a beef with everybody.

00:18:48.000 No one has said anything about Mike Glover.

00:18:50.000 Everybody's like he's the best dude on planet Earth.

00:18:53.000 And his content is constantly, you know, pulled down.

00:18:56.000 And he's just telling people how to survive in a crisis.

00:19:00.000 And didn't the Feds attack him and label him like a domestic threat?

00:19:04.000 What was the story?

00:19:05.000 Explain it to people.

00:19:06.000 Because that's a big one.

00:19:07.000 Yeah, he is on a list, like Fieldcraft Survival, Mike Glover, they're on a list as like potential domestic terrorists.

00:19:15.000 And like, this guy would never do anything against this country.

00:19:18.000 Like, I mean, he is a, you know, and people throw this term around for people that don't deserve it, but he's a true patriot.

00:19:25.000 Um, and, uh, I mean, you know, he's a, he's a big part of, uh, Tim Kennedy's life who, who's, you know, been a friend of mine for years.

00:19:33.000 Um, you know, I know him personally, all of my friends have worked with him or, you know, whether in the military or business.

00:19:40.000 And this is a guy that's like, he owns a survival company.

00:19:43.000 So he teaches you, you know, to shoot, to hunt, to, you know, dress wounds, to live in the wild.

00:19:48.000 That's what he loves doing.

00:19:49.000 So that's what he teaches people to do.

00:19:50.000 Like, how do you survive in the worst possible situation?

00:19:54.000 And yeah, like, you know, he's been flagged and it's wild to me.

00:19:58.000 Like, there's no undoing it either.

00:20:00.000 Well, let's jump to this next story here and we'll get into what's going on with this stuff.

00:20:05.000 The Washington Post.

00:20:06.000 Career prosecutors recommend no charges for Matt Gaetz in sex trafficking probe.

00:20:12.000 Investigators see credibility challenges for two main witnesses in a probe of the congressman's alleged past dealings with a then 17-year-old.

00:20:19.000 In other words, there's no evidence.

00:20:22.000 There's nothing.

00:20:23.000 That's it.

00:20:24.000 Just some people with no credibility making accusations they can't back up.

00:20:28.000 And so the prosecutors are like, ain't nothing we can do about it.

00:20:30.000 We'll see.

00:20:31.000 They're saying maybe they'll still bring charges, but it would be extremely unlikely to do so considering what they're saying now.

00:20:37.000 But here's what happened.

00:20:39.000 They start the probe, someone leaks information to the press, and then all of a sudden, it's law.

00:20:45.000 The media just says it's happening, and that's what they do.

00:20:48.000 So my question is, with everything we've seen with the FBI, the Washington field office particularly, going after their political rivals, how much of this was an extortion plot?

00:20:59.000 Let's just show you the context here.

00:21:01.000 This is from Politico.

00:21:02.000 Florida man gets five years in plot to extort Matt Gaetz's father.

00:21:06.000 A U.S. 0.66

00:21:06.000 district judge sentenced Stephen Alford to 63 months plus three years supervised release. 0.66

00:21:13.000 He went to the family and said, hey, I can make that all go away if you give me $25 million.

00:21:13.000 The story?

00:21:19.000 So I'm starting to lean towards whoever set this up, the investigators, and then whoever was leaking it, they were all in on it.

00:21:27.000 What do you think from your information?

00:21:30.000 I don't you know to me like I don't have information so like I don't I I'm very careful like I don't like to lobby lob accusations or you know at people that where I don't have real information so I will say that you know I my instinct was that it was true based on the coverage from every major paper you know I believe them and what's that why believe them well so one especially so you know I The last, you know, couple years of my life dealing with some of the some of the things I've dealt with definitely has me questioning a lot more things.

00:22:04.000 I'll say that.

00:22:05.000 But, you know, typically, the Washington Post does a pretty good job, you know, disagree.

00:22:13.000 My opinion, my opinion.

00:22:14.000 David Weigel fabricated a story and then they secretly edited it six months later and they never issued a public correction.

00:22:23.000 He literally just wrote a fake story about the Seth Rich conspiracy.

00:22:27.000 Manufactured insane claims that made no sense.

00:22:30.000 And then I actually get him on the phone, he's at the Washington Post, and I'm like, you made this up.

00:22:35.000 And he's like, Okay, and then nothing happens.

00:22:39.000 Six months later, they go in without saying anything, and they alter it to clean it up, and that's it.

00:22:45.000 No official correction, no public statements or anything. 0.99

00:22:48.000 The Washington Post is just garbage. 0.98

00:22:50.000 And that's just the easy example I can think of off the top of my head. 0.99

00:22:53.000 I'm sure there's plenty of examples everywhere.

00:22:55.000 This is them right now saying no charges.

00:22:58.000 No, I see it.

00:22:59.000 Yeah.

00:22:59.000 I mean, you know, and I will say that, I will say that, you know, if when all is said and done, it comes out that, you know, this guy is innocent.

00:22:59.000 Yeah.

00:23:09.000 I mean, that that's pretty terrible, but he was always innocent.

00:23:13.000 But I mean, everyone's innocent until proven guilty, right?

00:23:16.000 Exactly.

00:23:16.000 So, you know, so they just run fake stories in the press, what they play dirty games like these, these liberals tend to think that if you're accused of a crime, you're guilty of it.

00:23:26.000 That's a terrifying reality.

00:23:27.000 Well, that that is the way the media works.

00:23:29.000 Right?

00:23:29.000 So, like, there's been a huge dynamic shift where, you know, it used to be that, like, journalists took a long period of time to get stories out, make sure that they had sources, confirmed all of them.

00:23:40.000 Now, because of the age we're in, where everyone is creating news quickly, you know, including, like, you guys, right?

00:23:47.000 It is a race to get the story first, which often means that the story is inaccurate.

00:23:51.000 And once somebody launches the story, everybody races to tell the same story, and you end up getting this confirmation bias.

00:23:59.000 Yeah, but this is something different.

00:24:00.000 I mean, this is people leaking information on a story that had no evidence or credibility.

00:24:04.000 Sure.

00:24:05.000 And then the media, especially leftist liberals, running it as if it was true.

00:24:08.000 I mean, let's be honest here.

00:24:08.000 Yep.

00:24:10.000 There's a lot of sex traffickers in Washington, D.C. 0.99

00:24:12.000 There's no denying that. 0.98

00:24:13.000 There's a lot of sex traffickers everywhere. 0.92

00:24:15.000 Exactly.

00:24:16.000 And it's important to note here that the FBI has been moving, according to the latest whistleblower's agents, off of those cases and moving them on to the January 6th cases.

00:24:26.000 And when it came to this particular case, I did find it interesting because I do follow a lot of these stories.

00:24:31.000 I think they're important to talk about, especially when it comes to things like the DC Madam.

00:24:36.000 That's a whole other crazy story that if you want to go down a rabbit hole, you could go down a rabbit hole with.

00:24:41.000 But I didn't find any evidence here with Matt Gaetz.

00:24:44.000 I didn't see anything legitimate.

00:24:45.000 I didn't see anything confirmed.

00:24:46.000 So I kind of kept quiet about it.

00:24:48.000 I waited as a journalist to see what was going to be happening, what was going to be developing here.

00:24:53.000 But online, all over Reddit, there was number one posts calling him a sex trafficker.

00:24:58.000 But I haven't seen anything legitimate.

00:25:00.000 I haven't seen any evidence suggesting this.

00:25:03.000 But everywhere on social media, especially in leftist circles, he is automatically deemed now a sex trafficker, which I think is a little bit unfair since of course there's no evidence providing this this assertion which was spread out by you know insiders from the government and then regurgitated by the corporate media to smear somebody

00:25:21.000 Yeah, I mean, I think there's always a bias against people you don't like.

00:25:23.000 If you don't like somebody, it's very easy to believe bad things about them.

00:25:26.000 Exactly.

00:25:27.000 And, you know, and he's extremely far right and, you know, is a continuous target.

00:25:34.000 I just can't help feeling like this is a classic case of, we were talking about innocence until proven guilt.

00:25:39.000 This is a case of the media choosing whether to decide if someone is guilty or not and going with it they don't care about whether it's actually true and then if it's proven that they're wrong they simply don't talk about it.

00:25:53.000 I've seen them do this before.

00:25:55.000 So what happens if they're if it's proven that they've been lying or they've been inaccurate or they've left something out They just stopped talking about it.

00:26:02.000 I agree with that.

00:26:03.000 Like, I'm genuinely surprised.

00:26:04.000 I'm proud of the Washington Post for talking about this at all.

00:26:07.000 Like, good for them.

00:26:09.000 But, because what they like to do is just sweep it under the rug.

00:26:11.000 Like Tim was saying with this other story that after six months they went back and sneakily edited it and didn't say anything about it.

00:26:18.000 Yep.

00:26:18.000 I think still to this day they've never fixed it.

00:26:20.000 Really?

00:26:21.000 Yeah, it's amazing.

00:26:22.000 And now, will there be a major retraction from all these other organizations that slandered him?

00:26:26.000 Will all the people who made fun of him and attacked him?

00:26:28.000 No, no, no.

00:26:28.000 We're doubling it down.

00:26:30.000 The activists are already saying stuff like, you know, they just they know they can't win but doesn't mean it's not true.

00:26:37.000 Damage is done.

00:26:39.000 Yeah, I mean, there's traffickers and you know this because there's victims coming forward.

00:26:43.000 Epstein had his victims coming forward to the FBI in the 90s and there was people speaking out against this and of course they didn't do anything about it.

00:26:53.000 Where's the victims of Gates coming forward?

00:26:55.000 Who was that guy who called out Epstein?

00:26:59.000 Nobody believed him.

00:27:01.000 What was his name?

00:27:02.000 Luke Rutkowski?

00:27:04.000 No, no, no.

00:27:06.000 He had a big show and he's being sued for defamation.

00:27:11.000 He's in court right now and it's kind of a show trial.

00:27:15.000 Alex Jones.

00:27:16.000 You gotta see the most recent clip of him going at it with the lawyer who's like, the lawyer is whining really hard!

00:27:22.000 And Alex is like...

00:27:24.000 So some base stuff.

00:27:25.000 It's pretty... Yo, the Alex Jones trial is hilarious.

00:27:28.000 There's this clip.

00:27:29.000 I was watching it.

00:27:30.000 I was watching the live stream of it.

00:27:32.000 And the plaintiff's attorney asks him who he gets his sales reports from.

00:27:36.000 And then Alex is like, uh, uh, no, no one.

00:27:40.000 And then he's like, no, who is it?

00:27:43.000 Who is giving it to you?

00:27:44.000 And then he's like, I'm not allowed to say!

00:27:47.000 And so then they have to call, like, Sidebar, and the judge actually says, you were right to do that, because he would have to say it's coming from the bankruptcy lawyers.

00:27:55.000 So, like, the rulings against Alex are actually inhibiting the plaintiff's attorneys.

00:28:00.000 And then there was that other clip that went viral where he said, you know, he mentioned liberals, morals turning on a dime or whatever, and all the Iraqis they killed, their lies. 0.54

00:28:09.000 Yeah, the lawyer was getting really emotional and he was like, it's emotional when you want to be emotional and it's not when you don't.

00:28:16.000 I'm sorry, I gotta say this.

00:28:17.000 Talking about people's lives being lost.

00:28:18.000 I gotta say, the judge is inadequate.

00:28:21.000 I'm being polite.

00:28:22.000 Inadequate.

00:28:23.000 I'm being polite to the judge.

00:28:24.000 Because when the plaintiff's lawyer started just yelling at Jones and Jones started snarking back, the judge did nothing.

00:28:30.000 And then another lawyer was like, judge, are you going to do something?

00:28:33.000 She goes, well, I can't get a word in edgewise.

00:28:35.000 It's like, you're the, you have a bailiff.

00:28:38.000 You can bang the gavel and hold people in contempt.

00:28:38.000 You're a judge.

00:28:40.000 And you're sitting there letting people mouth off.

00:28:42.000 It's all for TV.

00:28:43.000 It's all for TV.

00:28:44.000 You have a responsibility to do that as a justice.

00:28:46.000 That's your courtroom.

00:28:48.000 Whatever, it's all for TV.

00:28:51.000 We're getting memes out of it and the videos are funny and it's just all, it's like, you know, I'm watching that and I can't remember who said it, but they said that the January 6 hearings are basically like nightly entertainment for wine moms.

00:29:05.000 They're like sitting there going like, Oh, what's going to happen next?

00:29:08.000 Oh, he did what?

00:29:09.000 And then they're voting based on it.

00:29:10.000 It's kind of scary.

00:29:12.000 But it's, it's more because it's like, if the FBI really is moving manpower out of like sex trafficking and going into domestic terrorism, I kind of wonder what you would think about this, Nick.

00:29:12.000 It is.

00:29:12.000 Yeah.

00:29:23.000 Like, why do you think that this is happening?

00:29:25.000 Do you, I mean, do you, do you think there's actually a risk of domestic terrorism overthrowing American Republicanism?

00:29:32.000 No, I don't.

00:29:34.000 I mean, you know, I don't think January 6th was a good thing.

00:29:37.000 I don't think... I think that people should be held accountable.

00:29:39.000 So just, you know, that's my position on that.

00:29:43.000 Do I think that it was, you know, like a big planned professional event?

00:29:48.000 Like, I do not. 1.00

00:29:49.000 I think it was a bunch of idiots doing idiot things and... Bumbling about. 1.00

00:29:56.000 The Maga Memos? 1.00

00:29:56.000 What are they called? 1.00

00:29:57.000 Yeah, like, I mean, like, you know, you look at that group and like, you know, these people are not, you know, this is not, uh, you know, like James Madison and, and John Adams.

00:30:08.000 I mean, like that, like that's not what you had there.

00:30:10.000 This wasn't SEAL Team 6 moving in.

00:30:12.000 I remember those Viking helmets and the face paint, you know?

00:30:16.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, it's a big deal and I don't, I think it should be taken seriously, um, but I, I also don't think, I think that the press, this is where I really get aggravated with the press, we talk a lot about civil war, right?

00:30:30.000 And I think that these people don't know what civil war is, or they think it won't happen, but they think they can get clicks by talking about it. 0.82

00:30:37.000 But you know, there are going to be idiots that start believing that there's like a real civil war that's forthcoming. 0.97

00:30:44.000 And, you know, why wouldn't there be? 1.00

00:30:48.000 Why wouldn't there be?

00:30:50.000 Because I'm not saying it can't happen because it can happen anywhere.

00:30:55.000 I think that Americans do not really want to Shoot their neighbor in the face.

00:31:03.000 What about the guy in North Dakota who just took an SUV and ran over an 18 year old?

00:31:06.000 Oh, yeah.

00:31:06.000 No, listen, no.

00:31:08.000 And when you when you talk about stuff like that, where you have people that have been driven to a point where they truly believe that like someone is the enemy because they're a Republican or a Democrat, like that's a real problem.

00:31:20.000 And the president did just give a speech where he said that.

00:31:23.000 Yeah, I thought that was an ill-advised, you know... But don't you, like, don't you kind of think, for one, I'd say, this is what I was saying about Bill Burr when he said, people don't hate each other, it's the internet.

00:31:35.000 I'm like, yeah, why would a neighbor want to shoot their own neighbor?

00:31:37.000 Yeah.

00:31:38.000 Well, no, because people who live next to each other tend to share political values.

00:31:41.000 But what about the person who lives in a city talking about somebody who lives in the South or in a rural area?

00:31:44.000 That's not necessarily true.

00:31:45.000 Like, I live in Chapel Hill, which is like the most liberal place on earth, right?

00:31:49.000 Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

00:31:50.000 Um and like actually I have a funny story like one day I answered the door for the pizza guy and I was wearing like a second amendment t-shirt and the dude started I'm crying he's like oh my god like there's there's another like conservative in this town you know I thought that was really funny my neighbors are great they're they're all liberal they're great people they're nice people and so anytime anybody starts talking about civil war I literally ask them like do you actually want to shoot your neighbor in the face Well, nobody wants to, but... But what are you going to do it for?

00:32:18.000 Like, what's the... If we have a civil war in America, our life here will never be as good as it is now.

00:32:24.000 Your life will be worse, will absolutely be worse for the rest of your life.

00:32:28.000 That's true.

00:32:29.000 You know, there will be, like, catastrophic.

00:32:31.000 I mean, like, people here do not understand.

00:32:34.000 All right, all right.

00:32:35.000 Let me ask you then.

00:32:36.000 How many child sex changes would you allow to happen? 0.99

00:32:40.000 Like, period? 0.53

00:32:43.000 So, where you live, right?

00:32:45.000 Yeah.

00:32:46.000 You know, it's very liberal.

00:32:47.000 Yep.

00:32:48.000 Let's use Vanderbilt, for example, in Tennessee.

00:32:50.000 They've been giving children sex change surgery.

00:32:53.000 You'd be willing to compromise on that to allow...

00:32:56.000 No, no.

00:32:58.000 So my...

00:32:58.000 Well, you've got a problem there, don't you?

00:33:00.000 Well, I want to start by... I am totally supportive of anybody that's trans.

00:33:06.000 I am totally fine with an adult deciding that this is not who they want to be.

00:33:13.000 I treat anybody with empathy.

00:33:16.000 I will treat anybody with respect.

00:33:18.000 If you, you know, if you were a man and you transitioned to being a woman, like, I will call you by your new name.

00:33:23.000 I will always be kind to anybody and I think that's, it's totally acceptable.

00:33:28.000 I do get nervous, but I am also not an expert in this.

00:33:32.000 I do get nervous anytime you're talking about children, given that, you know, there is a high percentage of folks that begin transitioning and then change their mind.

00:33:42.000 Desistence, which is, depending on the study, it can be between 65 and like 95 percent.

00:33:48.000 So, you know, I think that you just have to be careful.

00:33:55.000 I made this point to Stephen Marsh.

00:33:56.000 He wrote a book called The Next Civil War.

00:34:00.000 And, you know, he was saying he believed in civil wars coming.

00:34:03.000 He wrote a book about it, but he's more on the liberal side, though.

00:34:05.000 He doesn't think he is.

00:34:05.000 He doesn't realize that he is.

00:34:06.000 And we talked about it.

00:34:07.000 He's a cool dude.

00:34:08.000 We just disagree.

00:34:09.000 And I pointed out to him, I said, do you have universal health care in Canada?

00:34:13.000 He's Canadian.

00:34:13.000 He said, yes.

00:34:14.000 And I said, okay, we don't here.

00:34:19.000 Would you give up half of your, how much of your health care would you give up to compromise so that we don't go into conflict?

00:34:24.000 And he goes, I wouldn't.

00:34:25.000 And I'm like, you see, there's a problem, don't you?

00:34:27.000 So what we're having now is, sure, you might say like, why would a neighbor fight a neighbor?

00:34:32.000 Well, they probably wouldn't.

00:34:33.000 I mean, in many civil wars, regular people are trying to flee from the violence.

00:34:38.000 You take a look at Syria, you take a look at the Arab Spring, you take a look at Ukraine.

00:34:42.000 Most people are just leaving.

00:34:44.000 But a lot of people are fighting.

00:34:46.000 Now, when it comes to Ukraine, it's different.

00:34:47.000 That's an invasion that I understand.

00:34:48.000 When you look at Syria, there are people who are choosing to fight and fight for their cause.

00:34:52.000 So, the issue I see is, it may be that 90% of people don't want to fight, and that's a good thing because they shouldn't want to fight.

00:34:58.000 Nobody should.

00:34:58.000 But then you come to an impasse.

00:35:00.000 And the impasse right now is, Stark.

00:35:03.000 Matt Walsh just did this big expose on Vanderbilt University in, I think they're in Nashville, right?

00:35:08.000 The medical center?

00:35:10.000 And they have videos talking about how much money they're going to make doing sex change operations on children.

00:35:16.000 On actual children.

00:35:17.000 Irreversible damage.

00:35:18.000 Irreversible surgeries.

00:35:20.000 And the issue I take with this is not, have anything to do with trans people, because I agree with you on that point.

00:35:24.000 You know, people, I think if they're adults, should be free to Sure.

00:35:28.000 do with their bodies as they see fit, within certain reason, of course.

00:35:31.000 I mean, we don't want people harming themselves like committing suicide.

00:35:34.000 And there's questions about body dysmorphia.

00:35:37.000 But the issue here is the scientific studies showing high rates of desistance.

00:35:40.000 And you look at our Scandinavian, more progressive friends over in Europe,

00:35:44.000 and they've shut down this stuff.

00:35:46.000 So now you have the issue of Billboard Chris.

00:35:49.000 Are you familiar with Billboard Chris?

00:35:50.000 I am not.

00:35:51.000 He wears a billboard that says children cannot consent to puberty blockers.

00:35:55.000 And when he goes up and he talks about this stuff, plainly, calmly, scientific reports, trusting the science, they scream in his face, They threaten him.

00:36:04.000 In some instances, they stalk him.

00:36:06.000 And then we've actually seen what happens when you go against a lot of this ideology.

00:36:10.000 One kid in North Dakota, for being a Republican extremist apparently, and threatening the guy, so claims the guy, he's dead now.

00:36:16.000 And the guy killed him and fled the scene.

00:36:18.000 So the issue that arises is, in Florida for instance, Ron DeSantis, and I'm sure many people around him will say, hey, schools shouldn't be giving kids sex ed without parental consent.

00:36:31.000 So what does the media do?

00:36:32.000 Completely lie about everything happening.

00:36:35.000 You've got Boston Children's Hospital and this whole hoax around a bomb threat.

00:36:39.000 The threat was really called in, it was called into the hospital, but the media was reporting that there was an evacuation when there wasn't, and it's a complicated story.

00:36:45.000 And then you have Vanderbilt.

00:36:46.000 With all of these institutions, once they're exposed giving children sex change operations, they delete their websites.

00:36:53.000 And I think it's obvious.

00:36:54.000 They know that the overwhelming majority of American people would reject that and are horrified by the idea that they would do it.

00:37:01.000 And so then you have people saying, look, You know, there are people who believe nothing is going to happen.

00:37:05.000 Meanwhile, the violence has been escalating consistently for several years.

00:37:09.000 You've got Joe Biden coming out on TV only a few weeks ago saying that MAGA Republicans are an extremist threat to this country.

00:37:15.000 Two weeks later, a guy kills a kid for calling it and calls him a Republican extremist.

00:37:19.000 So you combine these things with even, look, outside of my opinion, it's my opinion is all based on expert testimony.

00:37:25.000 A Princeton professor saying that there's a cold civil war coming.

00:37:29.000 All signs I should say the history of what we're witnessing today rhymes with what we've seen in say Russia, Spain or Germany.

00:37:38.000 So for people to come out, the way I described it the other day is, you know, when Bill Burr comes out and says neighbors aren't fighting each other, we're sitting atop a watchtower Checking the news, reading the news all day every day.

00:37:49.000 And we can see pockets of conflict all off in the distance.

00:37:52.000 And then we can literally see the president stand up on a podium and yell, they are the enemy and they're destroying this country.

00:37:59.000 And then we look down in the ground where Bill Burr's having a beer and he goes, nobody's fighting anywhere! 0.99

00:38:03.000 There's no civil war over here, you're crazy! 0.62

00:38:05.000 So when I hear that kind of stuff, I'm like, that was a good Bill Burr. 0.82

00:38:08.000 Oh, thank you.

00:38:09.000 But I just, you know, considering we talk about it, I don't think any, I don't think like no one here and that

00:38:17.000 we've ever had wants a civil war. And so we have people like Michael Malice and even Luke saying

00:38:22.000 national divorce, peaceful divorce before it gets to that point. But you actually have memes emerging

00:38:28.000 about the country splitting up. And there was a survey done, I believe it was YouGov data that

00:38:35.000 surveyed every, surveyed like a thousand some odd people in each region.

00:38:39.000 There were five regions.

00:38:39.000 There's the West, there's the South, there's the Heartland, there's the Midwest, or I think the Northeast or whatever.

00:38:45.000 I don't know how they broke it up.

00:38:46.000 the mountain region, I think it was, and found that in the South,

00:38:50.000 something like 60% of Republicans want to secede as a South.

00:38:54.000 In the Northeast, the majority of Democrats want to secede.

00:38:57.000 In the West, the majority of Democrats want to secede.

00:38:59.000 In the mountain region, I think it was a, I shouldn't say majority, a plurality.

00:39:03.000 It was a majority of Republicans, it was like 60% of the South,

00:39:05.000 and then it was a plurality in the East and West of Democrats.

00:39:10.000 The Midwest area was surprising, the heartland, I guess they called it.

00:39:13.000 The plurality was independent voters wanting to secede.

00:39:17.000 Overall, if I did the math, I took each state's population, I took the total number of people polled, broke it all down, 37.2% of people in the United States would favor their region separating from the United States.

00:39:33.000 So when you have metrics like that, and consistently poll after poll after poll saying people expect it to happen, at a certain point you're like, yo, we're knocking at the door.

00:39:40.000 Something's happening.

00:39:41.000 Yeah, I mean, so I don't think the federal government's going to allow that.

00:39:44.000 And I also think that people don't really know... What does that mean?

00:39:47.000 You know what it means.

00:39:48.000 I mean, like, we're not going to allow states to secede from the Union.

00:39:52.000 That would actually be war.

00:39:54.000 So I don't think that's going to happen.

00:39:56.000 I also don't think people know what the economic impact of that kind of separation would be on every region.

00:40:04.000 I don't think anyone does it calculating what's going to happen.

00:40:08.000 I think if you look at the history of civil wars around the world, it's ideological and tribal and it happens.

00:40:14.000 I get it.

00:40:14.000 So how would the federal government stop?

00:40:18.000 They would absolutely use force.

00:40:20.000 It's not going to happen.

00:40:22.000 You think the federal government has enough personnel, especially at record low recruitment rates, to deal with national conflict at this level?

00:40:28.000 That's a good question.

00:40:29.000 They absolutely don't.

00:40:30.000 The Civil War in 1861, the country was substantially smaller, and some of the fighting didn't even reach other territories in the United States.

00:40:39.000 And a lot of the fighting was confined to the southeast specifically.

00:40:42.000 So, What happens?

00:40:44.000 I'll put it this way.

00:40:46.000 The American Civil War is not indicative of most civil wars.

00:40:51.000 It was a really weird, unique thing where a separate union formed and those two unions went at each other.

00:40:55.000 But if you look at the Syrian Civil War, for instance, where you have 12 different factions, now you take a look at the polarization United States and you actually have three or four factions, maybe even more, depending on how far you want to break it down.

00:41:06.000 So you have, yeah, I hear what you're saying.

00:41:08.000 I just, the economic hit that everybody would take, like lives changing forever.

00:41:15.000 And then you have the sub question of, all right, so like, you know, just because, you know, let's say California says we want to secede, right?

00:41:23.000 That's the most obvious one.

00:41:24.000 We know California is primarily liberal, but still, you know, it's still like 40% conservative.

00:41:31.000 And so now you have all these people that are trapped, essentially, in California.

00:41:37.000 It's a bad scene, no matter how you look at it.

00:41:40.000 I don't think... There are some people who absolutely want it to happen, but I think the overwhelming majority of people don't want it to happen.

00:41:46.000 And even as I, or Stephen Marsh, or... I don't know, who else has talked about this to great degrees.

00:41:54.000 I mean, you've got a CBS reporter recently coming out saying Civil War is coming.

00:41:58.000 MSNBC on primetime TV says we're in it already a Princeton professor saying we've been in for four years None of them are saying it's a good thing.

00:42:05.000 So we all agree.

00:42:06.000 It's not a good thing, but that doesn't mean it's not happening Yeah, so, you know, I would I'd maybe consider that we have you know, what you called it I thought that was good a cold civil war. 0.60

00:42:15.000 I think there's definitely like some ideological questions happening I do not and I don't want this to sound bad because I love this country.

00:42:23.000 And you know, I love I think it's the best country on earth.

00:42:26.000 I've been to 56 countries.

00:42:27.000 So like I have some, you know, some knowledge of what that means.

00:42:32.000 I don't think Americans in general are willing to pay the price for what they believe.

00:42:38.000 Right, but like most people fleeing Ukraine, the majority tend not to fight.

00:42:42.000 I mean, even in the American Revolution.

00:42:44.000 I mean, Ukraine is... But if you look at the American Civil War, that one was particularly interesting because people really were willing to fight.

00:42:52.000 On the North, you had people who wanted to preserve the Union who were fighting just because they were enlisted, but there were a lot of abolitionists.

00:42:59.000 Hans Christian Hegg wasn't even American.

00:43:01.000 He was like, I'll fight and stop this stuff.

00:43:02.000 Yeah, and that was a uniquely American thing.

00:43:07.000 You know, Our spirit is different than the rest of the world.

00:43:11.000 I don't see that in the average person anymore.

00:43:15.000 I mean, if people are mildly inconvenienced... The average person doesn't fight, never has in any war.

00:43:20.000 Correct.

00:43:20.000 But you're kind of seeing a lot of people as yourself.

00:43:23.000 You're thinking of the long-term consequences, and I think a lot of people have been taught not to think about the long-term consequences.

00:43:30.000 A lot of people are reactionary.

00:43:31.000 A lot of people have been, you know, thought through social media that emotions, you know, matter more than, of course, any kind of logical thinking.

00:43:41.000 Frederick Nietzsche has this great quote that I talked about a couple days ago on the show.

00:43:45.000 He says, in individuals, insanity is rare, but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs, it is the rule.

00:43:51.000 So I think it's worth noting that we are on the precipice where our mindsets are being controlled by big tech social media.

00:43:59.000 There is, I would say, a divide and conquer agenda.

00:44:02.000 I would say people are acting against each other more and more.

00:44:06.000 I think a lot of this is deliberate and it doesn't have to mean states go against states.

00:44:10.000 It can mean groups and organizations go against other groups and organizations.

00:44:14.000 I just think, you know, you got a case in Texas where a man and woman get divorced.

00:44:20.000 The mother claims the kid is trans, the father claims the kid is not, and the state awards the kid to the mother. 0.66

00:44:26.000 You don't think that you're gonna get to the point where a father just says no?

00:44:30.000 Sure, but that's not a civil war, that's an individual matter.

00:44:33.000 No, that's like, civil wars don't start because one guy... No, I understand.

00:44:38.000 Civil wars start when an ideology becomes persistent.

00:44:41.000 I understand.

00:44:42.000 When the state begins taking children away from parents, and they are now, And you're seeing this in, you know, conservatives, of course, are calling it out.

00:44:51.000 They're saying, this is actually, I can't remember who I was watching, but there was a conversation happening.

00:44:56.000 They said, parents are afraid that if they speak up, their children will be taken from them.

00:45:01.000 Schools in many places are telling the children not to talk to their parents.

00:45:05.000 Teachers are posting videos saying parents have no right to educate their children or know what's going on.

00:45:09.000 I know.

00:45:10.000 It's ideological and it's pervasive.

00:45:12.000 At what point do we see, like with the Bundys, right? 0.98

00:45:15.000 The Bundys actually had armed dudes on bridges with guns pointed at federal officers.

00:45:19.000 I want to push back a little bit.

00:45:20.000 I don't know that it's pervasive.

00:45:22.000 I think it is a problem in some school systems, in some places.

00:45:27.000 You know, I don't think it's pervasive.

00:45:28.000 Like, I do not think that exists, for example, where I live in Chapel Hill.

00:45:33.000 And that's a very... How do you know?

00:45:35.000 I mean, I'm pretty involved with my kids.

00:45:39.000 I'm pretty involved with the school system.

00:45:40.000 My wife is very involved with the school system.

00:45:42.000 But does this mean that you've gone and checked the curriculum for the books that they're giving to kids?

00:45:46.000 Like, we have one right here that has sexual depictions in it, and it's in school libraries.

00:45:49.000 And we had, who was it?

00:45:51.000 Azra Nomani?

00:45:51.000 Yeah.

00:45:52.000 Is that her name?

00:45:52.000 She wrote a whole bunch of them.

00:45:53.000 She came in with a stack of 50 or 60 books that have appeared in schools all over the entire country.

00:45:59.000 And, yeah, parents aren't checking these things.

00:46:03.000 So to be like, I don't think it's happening is very different.

00:46:05.000 But as a maximum freedom guy yourself, isn't that on the parents?

00:46:09.000 You know, I'm also not afraid of books.

00:46:10.000 But this is why Glenn Youngkin, well, are you afraid of porn in front of children?

00:46:14.000 Yes.

00:46:15.000 Right, so that's the problem.

00:46:15.000 No one's talking about a book.

00:46:17.000 We're talking about, in this book, Gender Career, sitting right here on this table, there's a depiction of someone, several depictions of sexual activity.

00:46:24.000 Amazon lists it as 18 and plus, 18 and over only, but they're putting it in school children's libraries and they've done it several times.

00:46:31.000 So it is a persistent ideology and that's why it's become so shocking and such a powerful political issue.

00:46:38.000 That's why even Bill Maher addressed the concept just last week saying Democrats need to stop this.

00:46:44.000 And that's why it's so crazy that Matt Walsh He highlights Vanderbilt University bragging about how much money they're gonna make doing these irreversible surgeries.

00:46:52.000 Vanderbilt pulls the website down.

00:46:53.000 Clearly, they know.

00:46:54.000 It's shocking.

00:46:55.000 But then, you see leftists, Antifa, and the media use all of their power and resources to try and shut the idea down.

00:47:02.000 You see people getting banned and suspended over talking about it.

00:47:04.000 So, this is a high-level issue, but it's also an issue that makes people really, really angry.

00:47:11.000 And it's pushing us to the edge.

00:47:13.000 But it's not just that.

00:47:13.000 No, but I mean, let's just put it simply.

00:47:16.000 The FBI just served subpoenas on 40 plus Trump supporters.

00:47:22.000 Steve Bannon's been charged.

00:47:24.000 Letitia James couldn't even get criminal charges on Trump is now filing a civil suit against them. 1.00

00:47:29.000 The power of the federal government is being used against Trump supporters to the extent that the president would go on TV and say half the country are an extremist threat, and then someone would run over and kill a kid.

00:47:39.000 So I'm telling you so no, like, I'm totally with you.

00:47:42.000 That speech, that speech was inappropriate.

00:47:45.000 I do want to just go back to the like, I have a much more optimistic view of the world than you do.

00:47:52.000 But what's what's pessimistic about what I'm saying?

00:47:54.000 Because I think like with this book, right?

00:47:57.000 I 100% think that there are bad people out there that want to, you know, get their worldview across.

00:48:03.000 I think most people, You know, whether it's this book or other books.

00:48:07.000 I think most people are trying to be empathetic to kids that might be different.

00:48:14.000 Whether, you know, they're gay or they're bisexual or they're figuring it out or whatever.

00:48:18.000 And I think that this generation is very empathetic compared to my generation.

00:48:22.000 When I grew up, You know, like if somebody was gay, they got made fun of.

00:48:26.000 I do want to finish the thought, right?

00:48:32.000 And so it's entirely possible people are looking at this and, you know, most people are bad at their jobs, right?

00:48:38.000 Like, I mean, at best, most people are average.

00:48:41.000 And so, like, they might have looked at this and said, like, you know, oh, this is one of the school books that's out there, not read it, not looked at the material, and thought, hey, this is an empathetic book.

00:48:50.000 Like, I'm not saying that that's the case.

00:48:51.000 I don't know.

00:48:52.000 But I just do not believe that there is, like, a universal group of people that are trying to show kids pornography.

00:49:01.000 I think that in general terms, People are trying to say like, Hey, you know what?

00:49:05.000 Maybe like, you know, when we were younger, we did not treat people that were different.

00:49:10.000 Well, and we would like to, and maybe they're not doing their job.

00:49:13.000 Well, they're not looking at, they're not doing their homework.

00:49:15.000 They're not making sure that it's age appropriate content.

00:49:18.000 We should always be respectful of other people and their differences, of course, obviously, but what are the consequences of these actions in our schools?

00:49:27.000 What are the consequences of what's happening in Canada right now where these policies have led to children being taken away from their parents because their parents aren't transitioning their children?

00:49:36.000 And we have to be careful what we say here.

00:49:39.000 How is it empathetic where in Canada right now parents are having their children taken away from them because they don't transition them?

00:49:46.000 That's not empathy.

00:49:47.000 Yeah, that and that's a different situation.

00:49:49.000 And like, I'm sure that's what it led to.

00:49:51.000 I understand.

00:49:52.000 Well, yeah, I understand where you're coming from.

00:49:55.000 But I mean, here's here's just another important factor.

00:49:59.000 Like, perhaps you're correct.

00:50:00.000 Perhaps there are a lot of people who don't know what they're putting in front of children and don't care enough to actually do it.

00:50:06.000 I don't see how that's empathy.

00:50:08.000 I don't see how it's empathy to be like, sure, do the book, whatever, I don't know what's in it.

00:50:12.000 Empathy would be like, let's keep our kids safe and happy.

00:50:14.000 No, no, I'm saying empathy is- How is a double mastectomy on a 13-year-old girl empathy?

00:50:19.000 Yeah, no, I agree with you there.

00:50:20.000 So why are there people actively defending that and calling Matt Walsh an extremist for saying, hey, maybe we shouldn't do that?

00:50:27.000 Like, listen, my point here is, it doesn't matter whether you agree with it or don't, the concept of sterilizing a child or permanently removing the breast tissue of a 13, 14, or 15-year-old girl is considered an atrocity.

00:50:40.000 We used to consider female genital... 0.88

00:50:43.000 We used to have huge stories about female genital mutilation being wrong.

00:50:47.000 Now you have universities actively promoting it.

00:50:50.000 So if you can consider that a conservative did not leave that space and Vanderbilt University is saying there are instances where we will mutilate the chests or secondary sexual characteristics or give other puberty blockers and chemicals that aren't approved for this to children, We're in the territory now where there's a group of people for whatever reason doesn't matter are advocating atrocities against children.

00:51:13.000 Yes, so I'm with I think you always are going to have a problem with Extreme capitalism.

00:51:21.000 And what I mean by that are, you know, there are people that are willing to make money doing anything.

00:51:27.000 And so, you know, when you, again, I'm not educated on the story, so I want to be very careful with what I say here.

00:51:33.000 But, you know, if that is the case, if there is a organization that is excited about making a ton of money, you know, providing those services, that's obviously a problem.

00:51:44.000 That's not medical care.

00:51:45.000 That is malintent.

00:51:48.000 I also agree with you, like, as I said earlier, you know, I don't think children should be making these decisions.

00:51:53.000 I, you know, I certainly don't think, unless there's abuse from the parent or something, if it's a situation where the parent is, you know, ridiculing the kid or something because the kid is trans, or, you know, believes that, you know, he or she is trans, then I think that is a different problem.

00:52:08.000 So, like, I think you have to look at every case individually.

00:52:11.000 If there are bad people involved, that's one thing.

00:52:13.000 Now, if it's just, you know, a parent that doesn't think that it's appropriate, you know, I think that is a, that is a much different situation.

00:52:23.000 Are you okay with the drag queen story time in the videos that are coming out showing, you know?

00:52:28.000 It's not going to lick itself?

00:52:29.000 Yeah.

00:52:29.000 And, and, you know, people stripping in front of children and children giving them dollar bills.

00:52:34.000 Or children stripping.

00:52:34.000 How about the children strippers?

00:52:35.000 I am not okay with anything sexual being provided to children.

00:52:42.000 I want to be clear because there's so many, like if there is a trans teacher I don't, I have no problem with that.

00:52:51.000 If it is a sexualized situation, like a show, I do have a problem.

00:52:57.000 What about that? 0.95

00:52:58.000 Yeah, I mean, that's like, that's a ridiculous situation.

00:53:01.000 But this is protected.

00:53:02.000 So this is in Canada, just so you know.

00:53:04.000 Yeah.

00:53:05.000 Which is not the same, but under the same legal language.

00:53:08.000 This is a protected human right.

00:53:10.000 Yeah, I understand.

00:53:11.000 No, no, look, I don't care to get into, like, I don't wanna go overboard with just talking about the kids and stuff.

00:53:15.000 I think there's better examples.

00:53:16.000 Are you familiar with the story of the Bundys, the Bundy Ranch and all that stuff?

00:53:19.000 Yes.

00:53:19.000 And the Bureau of Land Management?

00:53:21.000 Yes.

00:53:22.000 So what we saw there, you had people armed with rifles on bridges, pointing them, let's just say, in the direction of federal agents.

00:53:30.000 Yep.

00:53:31.000 And that was what?

00:53:32.000 That was, what, seven, eight years ago?

00:53:34.000 Or maybe even longer.

00:53:34.000 That was longer.

00:53:35.000 Eight or nine years ago?

00:53:36.000 So when you see things like that, we know it's possible.

00:53:39.000 And then my issue is Kyle Rittenhouse, in his own town, goes out, provides medical assistance, and is armed.

00:53:49.000 Someone threatens to kill him several times.

00:53:51.000 He runs.

00:53:52.000 Someone fires a gun in the air.

00:53:53.000 Rittenhouse turns around.

00:53:55.000 The guy then lunges for his gun and nearly grabs it.

00:53:57.000 Rittenhouse fires, clearly in self-defense, as the jury found.

00:54:02.000 And then he flees to the police.

00:54:03.000 He's attacked with a skateboard, knocked over.

00:54:05.000 A man with a Glock tries to shoot him.

00:54:07.000 Kyle Reynolds goes to jail for 80 some odd days, I believe.

00:54:11.000 He's vilified in the press.

00:54:12.000 He's called a white supremacist.

00:54:13.000 They lie in every step of the way, demonizing him.

00:54:16.000 And they still do it to this day, and now they're still going after him.

00:54:19.000 This guy in North Dakota ran over a teenager, killing him.

00:54:23.000 He's out on bond.

00:54:24.000 Like that.

00:54:25.000 No media coverage, no question.

00:54:26.000 In the summer of love in May of 2020, Black Lives Matter and Antifa ransacked almost every city in this country. 0.99

00:54:32.000 I mean, it's insane.

00:54:33.000 You look at Michael Tracy's reporting.

00:54:34.000 Small towns you never heard of had rioting.

00:54:37.000 Several dozen are dead.

00:54:39.000 Kamala Harris provides, she fundraises to get these people out of jail.

00:54:42.000 Joe Biden's staff personally pay to get people out of jail.

00:54:45.000 And then you have the 529 insurrection, when far-left extremists tore down the barricades in front of the White House, set fire to St.

00:54:51.000 John's Church, set fire to the guard post in front of the White House, and forced the president into a bunker.

00:54:57.000 Now, why wasn't that story, which was, I believe, that was two years ago, why wasn't that?

00:55:02.000 An insurrection.

00:55:03.000 Why isn't that story alike?

00:55:05.000 Maybe when, you know, a few thousand far-left extremists set fire to a church and tried to firebomb the White House and the president's forced in a bunker, maybe the ideology has reached a point where we're getting dangerously close to a civil war.

00:55:18.000 Now here's the kicker.

00:55:20.000 Years ago, people kept saying, like you said to me now, the federal government would never allow it.

00:55:24.000 But the federal government is clearly split between these exact factions.

00:55:27.000 Stephen Friend and this other, what was Kyle Serafin?

00:55:31.000 Serafin.

00:55:32.000 FBI agents blowing the whistle, calling out the actions, the corruption and the political bias in the DOJ.

00:55:39.000 And then you actually have the FBI that's being called out acting at the behest of Democrats towards political ends.

00:55:46.000 So, Maybe it's just a bunch of wild, crazy extremists fighting each other in the street.

00:55:51.000 Aaron Danielson getting shot twice in the chest. 0.75

00:55:53.000 Far-left extremists firebombing churches and, you know, pregnancy centers all over the country.

00:55:59.000 Oh, actually, they're in the DOJ, and they're using the power of the federal government, and then when that doesn't work, you get the AG in New York attempting to file charges against Trump.

00:56:08.000 When that doesn't work, they go after a civil suit.

00:56:10.000 What we're experiencing is not just Cold Civil War, it's fifth-generational civil war.

00:56:14.000 The fact that YouTube, two weeks ago, announced they're going to be suppressing information they deem borderline is election manipulation.

00:56:20.000 The fact that the FBI said, whistleblowers pointed out, they were instructed not to investigate Hunter Biden's laptop.

00:56:27.000 I mean, Maybe you're right.

00:56:29.000 Maybe there won't be a civil war.

00:56:30.000 And only because a revolution is taking place, and extremists are taking over the government, and nothing's being done.

00:56:37.000 There was a lot in that statement.

00:56:40.000 I will start with the part that I 100% agree with.

00:56:43.000 I think that we're at a situation now where big tech has too much power.

00:56:48.000 And, you know, I can't give you the clean answer to what should happen there.

00:56:52.000 But I think that the second that you are editorializing social media, There is a there is a problem.

00:57:01.000 And, you know, I mean, look, I'm fine with I'm fine with very hard, you know, like, hey, I don't I don't want like Nazi propaganda on any of these things.

00:57:10.000 I don't want, you know, like the like those viewpoints out there, because I think I think that's problematic.

00:57:18.000 But outside of that, you know, what about communist viewpoints? 0.96

00:57:24.000 Yeah, I mean, like, communists are great at killing people. 0.98

00:57:26.000 They're better than anybody. 0.99

00:57:29.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:57:29.000 But do we treat them the same way?

00:57:33.000 That's it.

00:57:33.000 You know, it's a valid question, right?

00:57:35.000 I think that I think people need to be able to like, I would much rather have more voices out there.

00:57:42.000 And more of those voices are voices that I hate and despise and think are the worst people on planet Earth, then have a giant corporation decide who is good and who is bad.

00:57:53.000 Because even if you're a good person, like even let's just let's just assume that Facebook is trying to do the right thing for a second.

00:58:02.000 Their opinions are not going to be your opinions are not going to be my opinions.

00:58:05.000 And so now what we have is we have a group of people that are all essentially from California that grew up with a certain viewpoint that are deciding what is appropriate speech.

00:58:16.000 Now, I 100% understand that these are private companies and they're, you know, they are not um regulated by the first amendment that being said you know when they essentially control everyone's voice i mean like if you if you take facebook instagram youtube google i mean that is a huge chunk of the internet

00:58:40.000 So we know now that the federal government has been working directly with big tech to censor their political rivals.

00:58:46.000 Yeah, yep.

00:58:47.000 And I, you know, the Facebook thing was, I'm not going to say it was shocking, because, you know, the last, you know, year and a half of working around government, I definitely, any dream I had that our government was the West Wing is gone.

00:59:02.000 Yeah.

00:59:02.000 Nope.

00:59:04.000 Well, I just think that, you know, it was like four years ago when I was reading an article that said civil war is likely.

00:59:13.000 I can't remember who it was.

00:59:14.000 I think it was the Atlantic.

00:59:15.000 They interviewed a bunch of security experts.

00:59:17.000 And it said that it was like 30 to 70 percent chance of a civil war in the next decade.

00:59:23.000 And I was like, wow!

00:59:24.000 And then what I ended up hearing from all these conservative pundits was that it would never happen because the federal government wouldn't allow it.

00:59:29.000 Well, lo and behold, the federal government has completely bifurcated at this point, with whistleblowers coming out accusing the DOJ of corruption, 20 plus, and the DOJ itself overtly engaging in partisan political activities.

00:59:40.000 I do think, and you know, this is one of your things, the Uniparty, right?

00:59:45.000 I think when it comes to certain things, the Uniparty reigns supreme.

00:59:50.000 I don't think it's in either major political party's best interest to allow a civil war.

00:59:56.000 And so I think that that is an instance where you would have solidarity.

00:59:59.000 How would they stop a civil war?

01:00:03.000 I mean, you know, by force through economic means.

01:00:06.000 There's a lot of tools.

01:00:08.000 So let's break that down force.

01:00:09.000 How would that apply?

01:00:10.000 How would you stop a civil war by force?

01:00:12.000 I mean, you use the military, you'd use police.

01:00:15.000 And what would they do specifically?

01:00:17.000 I think it depends on the situation, right?

01:00:19.000 At first it would be quelling riots, but, you know, I think... What happens in riots when the police intervene?

01:00:26.000 People die.

01:00:27.000 The riots get worse?

01:00:28.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:00:29.000 So, my fears are that what might end up happening first is that Two guys in a small town in Nebraska, seeing what's going on, just walk up and put up a checkpoint.

01:00:42.000 That's it.

01:00:43.000 And then someone calls and complains, but it's a jurisdictional issue.

01:00:47.000 It's a state level.

01:00:47.000 Feds have no authority to intervene at all.

01:00:50.000 One by one, you start seeing more instances like what happened with the Bundys and the Bureau of Land Management.

01:00:55.000 More and more people in more rural areas start saying no, but it's always an internal issue and the feds have no authority.

01:01:01.000 So the federal government actually can't intervene when it comes to state's issues.

01:01:04.000 Well, also, the DOJ has been politicized.

01:01:07.000 The military could be politicized as well, and many times when there's historical, global, civil conflicts internally, it's the military fighting other military forces, you know, society is bifurcated.

01:01:19.000 But I'm curious, on that point, how the United States would stop a civil conflict or civil unrest, especially with its history in Vietnam, and let's not kid ourselves, also Afghanistan, where they have failed Tremendously when it came to fighting the Taliban, which is now only that much stronger and better well equipped after trillions of dollars and 19 years of our soldiers going over there.

01:01:43.000 Plus morale is at an all time low.

01:01:45.000 Recruitment levels are at record lows.

01:01:48.000 So if they can't even stop guys with flip-flops, how are they going to stop guys here in the United States?

01:01:53.000 Again, there's a jump that I think you guys are making.

01:01:57.000 Listen, you're all smart people.

01:01:58.000 I'm not coming at anybody.

01:02:01.000 I just think there is a huge jump between Intermittent violence, you know that is being largely I think Pushed by media personalities because it's a hot-button topic.

01:02:13.000 Everybody wants to talk about civil war I think just you know Constantly having this conversation is even problematic because the crazy people start believing that this has to happen I do not think most Americans have the stomach or desire for it.

01:02:29.000 I think fundamentally like but you're right And I think because of that reason, I do not think we will have, you know, a, I don't want to say real, but a real civil war.

01:02:42.000 I don't think... How did the Syrian civil war start?

01:02:45.000 I mean, it's always balkanization of people.

01:02:48.000 Protests.

01:02:49.000 Street protests.

01:02:50.000 But it's always a balkanization of an oppressed minority.

01:02:56.000 But this is important.

01:02:57.000 Do you know how the Syrian civil war started?

01:03:00.000 The Arab Spring, obviously, it starts with Tunisia.

01:03:03.000 What was the guy's name?

01:03:08.000 It wasn't Mohamed Bouazizi, was it?

01:03:09.000 That sounds very familiar.

01:03:11.000 He might have been a journalist guy.

01:03:12.000 So in Syria, you ended up with, following the suit of the Arab Spring, a bunch of street protests.

01:03:18.000 At least as it was reported, because I don't trust the U.S.

01:03:21.000 reporting apparatus in this regard, considering the U.S.

01:03:23.000 wanted to remove Bashar al-Assad.

01:03:26.000 The government started shooting at protesters.

01:03:29.000 When the government tried quelling the unrest, it became a civil war.

01:03:33.000 So if we started getting widespread rioting and protests on a greater scale, well, it's entirely possible considering the size of the United States, if the government did try to intervene, it would actually be the catalyst for the civil war like it was in Syria.

01:03:46.000 I think the problem Americans have is that they think, for one, like you keep saying, Americans don't want war.

01:03:51.000 Of course they don't.

01:03:51.000 No one ever did.

01:03:52.000 No one in any of these countries ever wanted war.

01:03:54.000 But small political factions started one, and then people had their homes blown up, 90 plus percent of people just flee, and then the country crumbles.

01:04:03.000 So what I see as being a terrifying possibility is hyperpolarization happened.

01:04:09.000 Because of COVID and because of the social and political polarization, we're now seeing geographical polarization.

01:04:14.000 For one, I left New York to South Jersey, he left South Jersey to West Virginia.

01:04:19.000 We're seeing a lot of that.

01:04:19.000 People fleeing to Texas.

01:04:21.000 What's happening there is that red areas are becoming redder, blue areas are becoming bluer, and this has actually been happening for 30 or 40 years.

01:04:27.000 The geographical alignment for a civil war has been occurring for decades now.

01:04:32.000 Now you add on hyper-tribalization with the president actually saying 74 million people are an extremist threat.

01:04:38.000 The powder keg's been primed and ready to go.

01:04:41.000 I mean, you can't look like a president coming on TV and giving an address and they're cheering for it.

01:04:46.000 These progressive and liberal personalities are celebrating saying good and they're calling for the weaponization of the government of law enforcement to go after their political rivals.

01:04:56.000 Meanwhile, the equivalent crimes committed by their faction go unanswered.

01:05:02.000 I mean, we're sitting on the edge of something.

01:05:04.000 You can call it whatever you want.

01:05:05.000 But the fear I have, there's an article written by The Bulwark, and I certainly don't agree with these guys, but they wrote that it could even be as soon as November 2022.

01:05:15.000 Now, part of me wants to have optimism bias and say it's not possible, or a normalcy bias.

01:05:22.000 It could never happen.

01:05:22.000 It just couldn't happen.

01:05:24.000 But their argument is that Don't you think that all of these Trump supporters and Republicans, I believe it's two-thirds of Republicans who believe the election was stolen, don't you think they're going to go out to these polling locations and they're going to be surrounding them to certain degrees, just watching, making sure nothing bad happens?

01:05:40.000 And don't you think Antifa will also, in kind, show up to protest?

01:05:44.000 Won't that lead to fighting at polling stations?

01:05:46.000 What happens if one fight happens at one polling station and they're forced to shut it down and then a large faction of people aren't able to vote?

01:05:52.000 What happens then when a court challenge escalates and they say the vote is illegitimate because we weren't actually able to vote?

01:05:57.000 And the court says we don't have a full tabulation because a whole county of 400,000 people didn't vote.

01:06:01.000 What if that happens?

01:06:05.000 Seemingly reasonable.

01:06:06.000 That's in line with people saying, oh, we know the Proud Boys and Antifa fight.

01:06:09.000 Okay, what if they fight at a polling place in November?

01:06:11.000 Like, you could end up with even five polling locations shutting down, and lawsuits just halting everything, and then us getting no real clear answer on the election.

01:06:20.000 That's the bulwarks statement.

01:06:22.000 Yep.

01:06:23.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, you can game any scenario.

01:06:27.000 And, you know, I think, are those things possible?

01:06:30.000 Absolutely.

01:06:32.000 I just think that there are a lot of people in press that are profiting by talking about this stuff and I don't think it's as widespread as, you know, the articles and social media would have you believe.

01:06:46.000 Like, I do not think that this is where we're at right now.

01:06:49.000 I think that politicians are incredibly disappointing right now across the board.

01:06:53.000 I don't think anybody right now has a vision of the future.

01:06:57.000 I don't think anybody's trying to say, this is where I want to take America.

01:06:59.000 This is how we get better.

01:07:00.000 This is how, you know, we, we kind of rise above it.

01:07:05.000 I think that the easiest thing for everybody to do is to just tell, you know, talk about how the other organization is terrible.

01:07:11.000 I agree with you that there is an element of sensationalism to some media coverage, but I disagree with you that this topic is problematic.

01:07:19.000 I think this topic is important because I think it's a big problem, and if you ignore a problem, it only festers and grows.

01:07:25.000 And I think there is a big problem between the left and the right and Americans that are being divided and conquered.

01:07:31.000 I'm not saying that it should be ignored, but it's to the point where it's almost like Civil War porn now.

01:07:36.000 Like everybody do you know how many times I've now seen like this is what could happen?

01:07:41.000 These are the things that might kick it off like everyone's talking about it in a way almost with excitement, you know, it's great for clicks.

01:07:48.000 It's great for you know, sensationalism.

01:07:51.000 It's a great headline.

01:07:52.000 But think about the logic there for a second.

01:07:54.000 No, listen, the logic's there.

01:07:55.000 Like, again, there's a lot- No, no, no, no, what I mean is, uh, earlier today, uh, I couldn't- this is a true story.

01:08:00.000 Earlier today, I went to go pick up eggs.

01:08:02.000 Cause we have the chickens, I gotta grab the eggs. 0.99

01:08:04.000 And, uh, you know, when I came back, to get back to work, I couldn't help but, uh, notice the smell of... crap! 0.94

01:08:11.000 And then I'm like, oh, that's weird. 0.87

01:08:12.000 So what do you know what I did?

01:08:14.000 I looked in my shoe.

01:08:14.000 And sure enough, there it was.

01:08:16.000 That's why- that's why it was my- on my shoe.

01:08:16.000 On my boot.

01:08:18.000 That's why I smelled it.

01:08:18.000 Maybe the reason you're seeing so much pop up about it is because something's happening.

01:08:23.000 It's possible.

01:08:24.000 I'll tell you what I think.

01:08:27.000 I think you have what's called a normalcy bias.

01:08:29.000 And you know what that means?

01:08:30.000 I do.

01:08:31.000 You're saying all of these people are doing it because it's good clicks and it makes them money.

01:08:37.000 Maybe the reality is that's just your normalcy bias.

01:08:39.000 Certainly, we couldn't actually be facing a civil war.

01:08:41.000 The Feds wouldn't allow it.

01:08:43.000 So the only reason they're doing it is because it makes them money.

01:08:45.000 Or there's the other, that people have been fighting each other in the street for years now.

01:08:50.000 The elections have been completely contentious.

01:08:54.000 2016, they claimed the Russians were involved and they tried holding up the electors.

01:08:57.000 2020, same thing.

01:08:59.000 Except that culminated in January 6th, which was absolutely insane.

01:09:03.000 Now you're actually to the point where the president is going on TV and demonizing half the country, and then two weeks later a guy murders a kid.

01:09:09.000 It's like, you know, Andy Ngo gets just brutally beaten covering a protest.

01:09:15.000 You can see the arrest, the trial of Alex Jones, you can see it in any, any, Seemingly apolitical, and there is a political lens focused on it.

01:09:27.000 You can see it in the Ukraine-gate scandal.

01:09:30.000 Donald Trump uncovered corruption, rather accidentally, so they impeached him for it.

01:09:34.000 Joe Biden actually flies his son in Air Force Two to China for private equity deals.

01:09:39.000 Nothing happens.

01:09:40.000 There clearly is two distinct realities, doesn't matter who you support or otherwise, but this is literally happening.

01:09:46.000 I think the reason you're seeing so much about it MSNBC?

01:09:51.000 I don't think it's an issue of sensationalism for MSNBC to come out and say this because they're four years late to the party.

01:09:56.000 The stuff they're talking about with violence in the street was happening in 2016 and 2017.

01:10:00.000 They're six years late to the party.

01:10:01.000 Only now they're talking about it? 0.99

01:10:03.000 Yo, I watch people get the crap beaten out of them. 0.86

01:10:05.000 I watch people make makeshift explosives and throw them in Berkeley. 0.77

01:10:09.000 This stuff's been escalating dramatically and now we're to the point I remember telling people, they kept saying, nothing's happening, it won't happen.

01:10:16.000 Then a dude shows up in Tacoma with a ghost gun and firebombs and tries firebombing an ICE facility.

01:10:21.000 And they're like, that's one crazy guy.

01:10:23.000 Then you get a dude walking up to another dude, Aaron Danielson in Portland, seemingly seeking out a conservative.

01:10:29.000 And then you hear, we got one, we got something like that. 0.98

01:10:31.000 And then he shoots him twice in the chest, killing him. 0.99

01:10:33.000 This guy had a communist tattoo on his neck. 0.75

01:10:36.000 If you're going to look at all of these things that are happening, the grains of sand being added, culminating with the boulder of the president demonizing half the country, and then a murder following it, I just feel like you're choosing to ignore it.

01:10:48.000 No, I'm not choosing to ignore it.

01:10:49.000 I think all of these things are problematic.

01:10:51.000 I just think if you look over the history of our country, we've had violence, we've had protests, we've had, you know, all kinds of issues, and we've been able to get through it.

01:11:02.000 And I just am I'm more of an optimist about the American people.

01:11:06.000 I do not think that we are going to have open civil war.

01:11:10.000 I think that we are... I think we have a few more years of very contentious political situation.

01:11:16.000 I think we will have more violence.

01:11:18.000 I do agree with you there.

01:11:19.000 But, you know, when you're talking about civil war, when you're talking about the end of the Union, I don't think we're there.

01:11:24.000 Well, who said the end of the Union?

01:11:26.000 Well, I mean... The civil war didn't end the Union.

01:11:29.000 It preserved it.

01:11:30.000 Fair enough.

01:11:31.000 Fair enough.

01:11:33.000 Yeah, and I don't agree with the idea that it's pessimistic or optimistic to say that something is happening.

01:11:40.000 Perhaps it's pessimistic if you were to say it's all going to crumble down and that's it, it's over.

01:11:46.000 I think something bad is going to happen, but the end result will be something, you know, always something positive.

01:11:52.000 I think it's more realistic versus I don't know.

01:11:56.000 It's not idealistic.

01:11:57.000 Well, I think there also should be a concerted effort to try to stop this divide.

01:12:01.000 I think there should be an effort to try to stop this civil conflict.

01:12:04.000 I agree with you.

01:12:05.000 And when you look at the corporate media's coverage, it is amping it up.

01:12:08.000 It is saying, we need it.

01:12:09.000 They're going to attack us.

01:12:10.000 These people are going to come into your bedroom when you're sleeping.

01:12:13.000 And you see this kind of bombastic language from the corporate media.

01:12:17.000 And independent media has been saying, hey, hey, hey, let's try to stop this madness.

01:12:22.000 People are just screaming.

01:12:24.000 There's a lot of insane people that are getting on the microphones, getting on the major communication highways.

01:12:30.000 But sadly, big tech social media also elevates those voices.

01:12:34.000 Big tech social media that, of course, has connections to, of course, the intelligence agencies that, of course, works on the behest of the federal government, censors voices and ups voices that, of course, they want to promote.

01:12:45.000 And let's be honest.

01:12:46.000 From the last few years, they have been promoting drama.

01:12:49.000 They have been promoting infighting.

01:12:51.000 They have been promoting the most toxic voices that get the most amount of attention, that get the most amount of clicks.

01:12:57.000 Some people say that's because of monetary incentives.

01:13:00.000 Some people say that's because of a larger agenda.

01:13:02.000 I think that's an agenda that deserves to be called out, no matter what the real reason for it is.

01:13:07.000 But they're censoring the right side of the culture war and promoting the left side, regardless of whether it's... On the right, you could make a joke about something on TV that was violent and they'll ban you for pushing violence.

01:13:18.000 The left, we see on Twitter, they actually post addresses to organize to engage in violence and they get away with it.

01:13:24.000 But I'll throw it back to 2019 when I was on the Jogan Experience with the Twitter people and I said outright, if you keep doing this, it's going to result in something, you know, serious as violence and chaos.

01:13:35.000 And they did keep doing it.

01:13:37.000 They still keep doing it.

01:13:38.000 Facebook's now been exposed working with the government to do it.

01:13:41.000 And what's happened?

01:13:42.000 Everything's gotten substantially worse.

01:13:43.000 January 6th, for instance.

01:13:45.000 Like, I'm not saying January 6th was an insurrection.

01:13:47.000 I think it was a riot.

01:13:48.000 But it was a riot at the Capitol.

01:13:49.000 That's why it was so bad.

01:13:50.000 I think the violent people should be charged for it.

01:13:52.000 But to act like that wasn't a significant moment.

01:13:55.000 That is a dramatic escalation.

01:13:58.000 So, you know, I'll put it this way.

01:13:59.000 I've had people who, from back in 2018, would tell me I was wrong.

01:14:04.000 Now, you know, they'll come to me and be like, so I thought you said something blah blah blah in 2018.

01:14:08.000 And then I go, January 6th.

01:14:09.000 And they go, oh yeah.

01:14:12.000 Yeah, do you think it ends with January 6th?

01:14:13.000 Do you think all those Trump supporters are just happy?

01:14:15.000 No, I don't think it ends with January 6th.

01:14:17.000 I do want to say, like, the difference between January 6th and all of the other violence, and just to be super clear, I think it's absurd any time that we're like, oh yeah, it's no big deal, this violence was because so-and-so felt this way or that way.

01:14:29.000 Like, no, you don't get to just destroy property, murder people, beat people up because you're mad.

01:14:36.000 Like, that is not a protest.

01:14:38.000 That is, you know, that is something else.

01:14:41.000 And so, you know, I think in all of those situations, it's appropriate to arrest people and, you know, and press charges and whatever.

01:14:47.000 The violent ones.

01:14:47.000 Yes, the violent ones.

01:14:48.000 Exactly.

01:14:49.000 Well, yes.

01:14:50.000 But I think the difference with January 6th is it is literally people trying to change the outcome of an election.

01:14:59.000 And that is the precipice of a civil war.

01:15:03.000 Again, I know what you're saying.

01:15:05.000 But it is a small group of people doing an act.

01:15:09.000 Did that kick off, you know, a host of other violence throughout the country?

01:15:13.000 Like, no, it didn't.

01:15:14.000 Did most people say this was a good thing?

01:15:16.000 No, they didn't.

01:15:17.000 You know, and so I think that you have to look at that there's always going to be craziness, you know, and you have, you know, as the craziness escalated over the past decade, Over the past decade, yes.

01:15:31.000 Is there any reason to believe that it would stop?

01:15:38.000 Yeah, I think that people are tired of the direction the country's going.

01:15:43.000 I think that when you look at, you know, I personally think- Trump supporters are going to be like, you know, guys, I don't want to argue anymore.

01:15:51.000 No, I don't think that, but I think that- Well, so hold on, hold on.

01:15:55.000 Let's try and walk through this.

01:15:56.000 Trump supporters won't say, okay, I'm done with this.

01:16:00.000 Trump supporters are not going to say that they're done with that.

01:16:02.000 Are Democrats who hate Trump going to say we're totally cool with Trump supporters winning elections?

01:16:07.000 No.

01:16:08.000 Okay, so there's no sign of it slowing down?

01:16:09.000 No, I disagree because I think that I think Ron DeSantis is going to win the primary.

01:16:14.000 I think he is more moderate than President Trump.

01:16:17.000 I think he is less aggressive towards people than President Trump.

01:16:22.000 I think people do not want Most people do not want that level of aggression in a president.

01:16:29.000 I think that while the far left kind of applauded Joe Biden's comments, I think most people, including most Democrats, were not super pleased with a red background emperor I don't think that's helpful.

01:16:45.000 I don't think that's good.

01:16:46.000 you know, however, he called out MAGA. So it's not exactly half

01:16:50.000 the country, but it's a, you know, a third, maybe.

01:16:52.000 74 million votes.

01:16:54.000 I don't think that's, I don't think that's helpful. You know,

01:16:57.000 I don't think that's good. And I don't think people want that in

01:17:00.000 general.

01:17:00.000 So if, if, you know, when when when Biden did this, prom at all

01:17:06.000 the biggest names on social media cheered for it on the left.

01:17:10.000 And all the biggest names on the right condemned it.

01:17:13.000 My question is, if we've seen these factions growing, But those people don't represent America.

01:17:18.000 They represent... Trump gained 12 million new voters from 2016 to 2020.

01:17:23.000 His movement expanded dramatically, and his endorsement ratio is higher now than it was in 2016, 18, and 2020.

01:17:31.000 He's at, what, 92%?

01:17:33.000 So the MAGA Republican side has actually expanded dramatically.

01:17:37.000 Looking at these numbers, looking at the rhetoric, and now the escalation of violence and even statements from the leader of the Democratic Party, Everything has escalated in a substantial way, like a snowball rolling down a hill.

01:17:51.000 You could argue, and I think it's fair to say, maybe right now, it all just stops.

01:17:55.000 What do I know?

01:17:56.000 Maybe the Trump supporters are like, man, we really don't want it.

01:18:00.000 You know what?

01:18:01.000 Keep the child sex changes. 0.95

01:18:03.000 Do mail-in voting.

01:18:05.000 We are just gonna let you do it.

01:18:06.000 I really see that as completely unlikely.

01:18:08.000 Well, on the inverse, Ron DeSantis.

01:18:10.000 Maybe he can come out and send more people to Martha's Vineyard because we know how much they like that. 0.60

01:18:14.000 Oh, I'm sorry, they called him Hitler for doing it.

01:18:16.000 They claim that he was a human trafficker now and he must be stopped.

01:18:18.000 They're claiming he's worse than Trump, he's more tactful than Trump.

01:18:21.000 Maybe they'll just stop and say, you know what?

01:18:23.000 We're totally okay with fascism and the fascists taking over.

01:18:26.000 No, I don't see why that's probable.

01:18:29.000 So if we're looking at over the past decade, consistent escalation, and I think a lot of it has to do with the millennial generation getting older and gaining more power in government and in corporations.

01:18:41.000 If we've seen escalation, and we see no signs of de-escalation, Then, if you were going to put down your chips and make your bet, it would be on escalation.

01:18:51.000 Okay, so maybe it's possible that from here, we don't go to Civil War.

01:18:54.000 Maybe we're still four years out.

01:18:55.000 Maybe it's eight years out.

01:18:56.000 Maybe it's ten years out.

01:18:56.000 Who knows?

01:18:57.000 Maybe we're just in a precursor phase.

01:18:59.000 But either way, so far, we have seen no signs of this slowing down or reversing in any way.

01:19:08.000 Well, I hope I'm right.

01:19:10.000 I mean, I gotta be honest, I hope so, too.

01:19:12.000 I hope you're right, too.

01:19:13.000 I hope you're absolutely right.

01:19:14.000 Because I'll tell you this, you know what I want more than anything?

01:19:16.000 Get a lounge, we got a massage chair downstairs, I just want to turn it on, turn the TV on with, you know, maybe like the X Games, maybe some snowboarding, get a big old bucket of chicken wings, and let that be the day.

01:19:28.000 Instead, what we get is, I wake up in the morning and I see a story about crime, murders, sweeping these cities, 200% murder increase in Portland.

01:19:37.000 There's a crazy video right now, I mean, just after the Summer of Love, seeing all of these bodegas just destroyed, these small businesses.

01:19:45.000 Watching these videos of people randomly stabbing people in the street, all of it is dramatically escalated.

01:19:50.000 Seeing these videos of people open air drug markets in San Francisco, it's not just that it's political violence and escalation, it's that the economy is even, you know, in crisis.

01:20:00.000 We're a year delayed on trying to put up a steel frame building.

01:20:04.000 It's just, everything I've been seeing over the past decade, in every way, Food prices, inflation, now we've got the sterling, the pound has collapsed to near dollar parity.

01:20:16.000 The euro's below the dollar.

01:20:18.000 You've got war in Eastern Europe, Russia's conscripting, Russia's threatening nuclear weapons, China's firing missiles over Taiwan.

01:20:25.000 All of these things just keep escalating.

01:20:27.000 I don't know if I would call it...

01:20:31.000 In the big picture, pessimistic to say these things are happening because they're literally happening.

01:20:38.000 And just because you think the probability of such a thing would lead to an escalation of it, I don't think that's pessimistic.

01:20:43.000 I suppose pessimistic would be like, we're all going to die and our lives are ruined.

01:20:46.000 But I'm actually fairly optimistic on all of it.

01:20:48.000 I think bad things are happening, but I think it's going to make us stronger.

01:20:51.000 I think we're going to be okay.

01:20:53.000 I think people will find a way to survive and humans will do what humans do best and adapt and keep going.

01:21:03.000 But first things, it's just gonna hit the fan, family-friendly show here, I think in some way, and I think there are a lot of ingredients, you know, corporate media, social media, the poor economic outlook, I think all of that, along with the captured institutions, signals some major troubles ahead.

01:21:18.000 I hope it gets Figured out, I hope it gets better, but there's a lot of fuel being added to this fire.

01:21:23.000 But back to the original point, you know, you were in Afghanistan.

01:21:27.000 The United States couldn't stop that conflict.

01:21:29.000 How can they stop a domestic conflict?

01:21:31.000 But your experiences in Afghanistan were also probably... That's a different situation though, right?

01:21:35.000 It's a different situation where, you know, you have a different culture and you don't, it's not, it's not your world.

01:21:43.000 You're trying to influence someone else versus this is who you are.

01:21:47.000 I think California already seceded.

01:21:50.000 Effectively.

01:21:51.000 I mean, they've outright said over and over again over the past two, three decades, they won't abide by federal law.

01:21:57.000 They use illegal immigration as a means to bolster their census so they can get extra power in the federal government.

01:22:03.000 I believe in the last census, in the last decade, they had one extra electoral vote and seat in Congress due to illegal immigrants that they allow in and block the federal government from enforcing the law. 1.00

01:22:15.000 So when you're dealing with something like that, I mean, you know what?

01:22:18.000 I'll just say one last thing on it.

01:22:19.000 Texas filed a lawsuit, I think it was against Pennsylvania.

01:22:22.000 I think 46 states signed onto that lawsuit, challenging the 2020 election.

01:22:26.000 I mean, that, my friends, is like dramatic Civil War territory.

01:22:31.000 And Clarence Thomas and I think Alito said, it is our responsibility to hear cases in the original jurisdiction, which is the Supreme Court for the states.

01:22:39.000 But the other justices said, we will not.

01:22:42.000 And so what ends up happening there is the worst possible outcome.

01:22:46.000 The people who said we have grievances and we demand a redress of those grievances were told over and over and over again, no.

01:22:53.000 So that just makes desperate people take desperate actions.

01:22:56.000 And that's what's scary.

01:22:57.000 JFK said, those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.

01:23:02.000 If they, I think the fraud narrative is, is just wrong.

01:23:05.000 I think obviously there's questions about certain things that happen.

01:23:08.000 There's always some kind of fraud, but I think Trump lost because the media mobilized people because COVID mobilized people because COVID hurt Trump.

01:23:15.000 Trump kept Fauci on a lot of things like that.

01:23:17.000 But when people come and say, we feel like this is unfair, and it's 74 million voters, almost half the voting block, we say, let's work out what's making you upset and make sure we can come to an agreement on how to move forward.

01:23:32.000 Instead, All of the court simply said, no, we won't do it.

01:23:36.000 We won't even hear what you have to say or look at anything you're presenting.

01:23:39.000 Almost all of the court cases that were brought weren't even on fraud.

01:23:41.000 They were on procedure and they were thrown out on standing.

01:23:46.000 So these people didn't even get a chance to have someone say, your argument is wrong.

01:23:49.000 They outright said, we won't even bother with you.

01:23:52.000 That's the kind of thing that results in January 6th.

01:23:54.000 And then January 6th resulted in people.

01:23:56.000 There are still people who haven't even been charged with a crime who are in solitary confinement.

01:24:00.000 That's the kind of thing that results in people losing their minds.

01:24:05.000 Absolutely.

01:24:06.000 What a Friday!

01:24:07.000 I hope you're all entertained.

01:24:10.000 Civil War Fridays.

01:24:11.000 Yeah, Civil War Fridays.

01:24:13.000 Well, anyway.

01:24:15.000 Let's maybe try to focus on the more positive aspects.

01:24:18.000 How can we prevent, from your intelligence and from your understanding, what are some positive things we could do to try to bridge this gap, bridge this divide?

01:24:27.000 Is there anything even possible that could help the American people see that they have more in common than they don't?

01:24:35.000 Honestly, I'm a firm believer that you invest in your community and don't worry about the national media apparatus.

01:24:43.000 And I know that sounds very simple, but you know, I can get online and I can give speeches and I can talk about things and You know, and people will follow me and some people will hate me and you know, whatever it is, but that just becomes like the noise of the day online.

01:25:00.000 What I can affect is I can donate my time coaching, I can donate my time to NGOs, I can invest in my family, my children.

01:25:10.000 My friends, you know, help people, be part of the community, make the people around me better.

01:25:16.000 I think fundamentally when people focus on those things, life gets better.

01:25:21.000 And when people spend, invest a lot of time arguing online, things do not get better.

01:25:27.000 Because arguing online gives you the impression that like everything is life or death.

01:25:32.000 Like, you know, we've all been there.

01:25:34.000 Somebody pissed you off online. 1.00

01:25:35.000 You end up spending two hours arguing with some idiot on Twitter. 0.99

01:25:40.000 You know, and at the end of it, you're like, you're amped and you're, you know, you're frustrated and you're like, well, what did I just do? 0.99

01:25:47.000 You know, and you get this impression that like people are your enemy.

01:25:50.000 But they're just bored online.

01:25:51.000 They're aggravated by something you said, whereas... And probably 14 years old.

01:25:55.000 And possibly 14 years old.

01:25:57.000 But, you know, but in person, I've literally never had these kinds of aggressive, you know, and I'm in a town where almost...

01:26:06.000 Everyone disagrees with like my viewpoint, you know, certainly on, you know, like the Second Amendment and some of the other things, but I've never had these aggressive conversations.

01:26:17.000 The conversations are always reasonable because they're in person.

01:26:19.000 You're looking at somebody, you're reading body language, you realize that this person is, you know, is coming from a good place, you know?

01:26:26.000 So if we're, you know, I think in I think personal investment in your community is the best thing you can do.

01:26:35.000 And it doesn't it doesn't feel the same.

01:26:37.000 It doesn't feel national.

01:26:38.000 It doesn't feel like, oh, I'm changing the world.

01:26:41.000 But the truth is, you're going to change the world more doing that than trying to put out some, you know, message to like, save the day.

01:26:49.000 I certainly agree with people should be taking care of themselves, their friends, their families working on themselves eating right exercising, and that'll dramatically change their world for the positive.

01:26:59.000 Too many people.

01:27:00.000 Hey, we got one.

01:27:01.000 We go.

01:27:03.000 No, but it's needed to have these conversations.

01:27:06.000 I think, you know, your perspective, your point of view is important to get into and to talk and to have civil conversations about.

01:27:12.000 And I think the more civil conversations we have, the better.

01:27:15.000 How do we, you know, address the problems coming our way?

01:27:17.000 I think, you know, they're very severe and they are going to take us being the best versions of ourselves, being the healthiest, the most strongest versions of ourselves.

01:27:26.000 Because again, financially, you know, the situation is also getting very bleak.

01:27:29.000 A lot of people are going to get very desperate.

01:27:32.000 And the thing that's going to protect people is themselves as individuals and their family.

01:27:36.000 The economy is always critical.

01:27:37.000 The economy goes bad, people are unhappy.

01:27:39.000 I mean, just in I'll say one thing, too.

01:27:43.000 You know, earlier in that point when you were saying that you think people are talking about this because it gets clicks, my rebuttal was, maybe it's because it's actually happening.

01:27:50.000 But, fair point.

01:27:52.000 My perspective could be the broken one.

01:27:54.000 You could be the one who's actually right.

01:27:55.000 The media is just gamifying everything, and I'm seeing, you know, this hyper-focused reality as well.

01:28:01.000 Like, what the media's doing.

01:28:02.000 I'm sure it's a little column A and a little column B, to be honest.

01:28:04.000 Yeah.

01:28:05.000 Yeah, hopefully the end result is people, you know, chilling out.

01:28:09.000 One of the things that we're doing with our website, TimCast.com, is we only have one political show.

01:28:15.000 Technically two, but it's like TimCast IRL's Conversation and then my morning show and the shows that we're creating outside of this are, you know, Tales from the Inverted World is true crime, mystery, history.

01:28:24.000 Pop Culture Crisis is pop culture.

01:28:26.000 Cast Castle Vlog is, you know, Ian being crazy and silly and it's just comedy and it's just apolitical.

01:28:32.000 Because I think that is important.

01:28:34.000 We need to make content that isn't in that space for a variety of reasons.

01:28:38.000 We want to push back against the woke weirdness, but not in a way where we're like making videos where like, wokeness is bad.

01:28:45.000 Yeah, sure.

01:28:45.000 No, we just make shows that are funny that happen to not be woke.

01:28:48.000 Or, you know, at least not overtly ridiculous. 0.57

01:28:51.000 I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

01:28:52.000 Oh, well, thanks for letting us know.

01:28:55.000 But there's still, you know, a lot of questions like, how would you deal with a drag queen story time coming to your neighborhood? 0.97

01:29:02.000 Would you do anything about it?

01:29:03.000 Would you try to maybe mobilize or try to get the word out?

01:29:06.000 Or how would you deal with the situation like that?

01:29:08.000 Again, I think it depends on the situation.

01:29:12.000 Like, I would want to know exactly what's happening and assess.

01:29:15.000 Like, if it's, you know, if it's a just a trans person that is coming in to read, I don't have an issue with that.

01:29:21.000 If it is a sexualized show, then my child will not be there.

01:29:26.000 What about a stripper? 1.00

01:29:27.000 Yeah, definitely not a stripper.

01:29:29.000 But what if they don't strip?

01:29:30.000 They're just like wearing their stripper makeup and like... Yeah, none of that is appropriate.

01:29:33.000 Well, that's what drag is.

01:29:35.000 I understand what you're saying, but a lot of these stories online have said drag show and it has not in fact been a drag show.

01:29:43.000 Well, no, no.

01:29:44.000 That's why I'm asking if a stripper showed up, but didn't actually remove any clothing, would you be okay with the stripper reading to your kids? 0.99

01:29:49.000 No.

01:29:50.000 Like they're wearing... Any sexualized, anything sexualized is inappropriate.

01:29:55.000 So like a drag story hour would be inappropriate?

01:29:58.000 If it is actually a drag show.

01:30:00.000 Well, like the drag costume is... Like they're wearing lingerie like they usually do. 0.98

01:30:06.000 In that situation, it is inappropriate.

01:30:09.000 But again, I've seen multiple stories where it's like drag show, and then you look at it and it's just a trans woman that is reading.

01:30:17.000 But drag people are not, people in drag are not trans. 0.88

01:30:20.000 I know what you're saying.

01:30:22.000 I know what you're saying.

01:30:22.000 Yeah.

01:30:23.000 But that is not actually, what I'm telling you is that the story headline does not marry to the facts.

01:30:30.000 What do you mean by that?

01:30:31.000 I do not think that anything sexualized should be involved with children.

01:30:34.000 Nothing sexualized.

01:30:34.000 queen comes and reads to kids.

01:30:36.000 Yeah, has not necessarily been a I do not think that anything

01:30:40.000 sexualized should be involved with certain no drag queens in 1.00

01:30:44.000 front of kids. Nothing sexualized. I just want to but why can't you just say I don't understand. Well, so it's

01:30:52.000 like I do.

01:30:53.000 So they get on stage, they take clothes off, and they're given tips by the audience.

01:30:56.000 Yes.

01:30:57.000 So stripping is very similar.

01:30:58.000 Yes.

01:30:58.000 Go-go dancing and bikini bars are in states where they don't allow full nudity.

01:31:02.000 Right.

01:31:03.000 The women will get up on stage, take their costume off, and expose under layers. 1.00

01:31:07.000 Yes.

01:31:08.000 Drag is the same. 1.00

01:31:09.000 None of that is okay.

01:31:10.000 What I'm saying is that what the media has called drag has not necessarily been that, which is why I'm trying to be very specific about my language.

01:31:18.000 I don't know any instance that you're talking about.

01:31:21.000 So there's specific events that are called Drag Queen Story Hour, and that's what we're talking about.

01:31:24.000 Yeah, I'm not a fan.

01:31:25.000 That would not be something I would want my kids to be in.

01:31:28.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:31:28.000 I don't think anyone cares if that's a trans person just reading to kids.

01:31:31.000 People do care.

01:31:32.000 And that's what I'm saying.

01:31:33.000 Sure.

01:31:33.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:31:33.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:31:34.000 And there are a lot of people who get mad when white teachers are talking about stuff that's not in line with woke values.

01:31:41.000 Sure.

01:31:41.000 There's a Seattle library created white-only spaces and colored-only spaces.

01:31:45.000 It was the weirdest thing ever and deeply offensive.

01:31:48.000 And then, I'm sorry, people of color is what they call it, but I feel it's deeply, it's the same level of offense. 1.00

01:31:53.000 And then Dearborn, Michigan did the same thing.

01:31:54.000 So, you know, you have that across the board, and I think we all just outright disagree with it.

01:31:59.000 Yeah, I think the problem is the ideologies of the disparate culture war factions are so distinct now that there is no middle space that people can occupy.

01:32:10.000 Yeah, and a lot of times... It is hard.

01:32:12.000 I've seen the opposite problem, because I've seen, you know, media talking about it, but then the actual photos and videos of it are way worse than I could even imagine, personally, from what I've seen online.

01:32:20.000 But my question was more centered towards the solution aspect.

01:32:23.000 You know, when we talk about a community, you wouldn't bring your children there, but would you get involved or try to prevent this from happening?

01:32:32.000 Or how can a community safeguard against those kind of bad influences that Yeah, so, you know, I haven't been in that position, so it's hard for me to answer.

01:32:43.000 I worry, like, I worry about my children.

01:32:46.000 So, you know, if other parents think it's appropriate for their children, then they can make that decision.

01:32:51.000 My kids won't, will not be involved in something like that.

01:32:54.000 And that's the way I look at it.

01:32:57.000 That's a good point, too.

01:32:58.000 I think one of the challenges with this whole debate over kids and this kind of stuff is where people think the government should be intervening in what parents are showing to their kids.

01:33:11.000 And so, right, in the Bible there are things that are considered adult.

01:33:16.000 But of course, you know, people who are religious want their kids to read the Bible.

01:33:19.000 I think the issue is just parental consent.

01:33:22.000 If the parents decide, but there's also got to be limits, I suppose,

01:33:25.000 because I think everybody agrees like no school should be handing hustler to some kids.

01:33:29.000 And so where is the line on those values is a challenge because,

01:33:33.000 you know, in the book Genderqueer, the right says it's sexually explicit and shouldn't be shown,

01:33:37.000 but the left says, so what?

01:33:39.000 It should be.

01:33:40.000 And that's where they don't agree on the values.

01:33:42.000 But to a conservative, you're basically putting porn in front of kids.

01:33:45.000 But do you really think that the left, when you say that, like it gets very murky, right? 0.98

01:33:50.000 I don't think that most Democrats think that, you know, their teenage kids should have A book, you know, be handed a book in high school that shows blowjobs or sexual... Well, these are great schools. 0.99

01:34:05.000 Even worse. 0.98

01:34:06.000 I don't know any... No, you're right, you're right.

01:34:07.000 I don't know anyone on the left that is like... You're right, and this is why Glenn Youngkin won.

01:34:12.000 When the parents, because of the Zoom school, the parents started learning the schools were doing this. 0.58

01:34:16.000 Yeah.

01:34:17.000 So the challenge is...

01:34:20.000 They lie about it.

01:34:21.000 So what do I see from all of my liberal friends is they're saying that the right is banning books.

01:34:27.000 And then I'll say something like, well, no, they're banning sexually explicit materials.

01:34:31.000 And then they'll say, no, you're wrong.

01:34:33.000 Don't care.

01:34:34.000 So you can actually- There's plenty of that, I agree with you.

01:34:36.000 There's plenty of that online.

01:34:37.000 But what do you do when they keep voting for it?

01:34:39.000 Like, I mean, this is the problem.

01:34:41.000 I agree with you, and I tell people all the time, the one thing you should say to your neighbors when you're talking about politics, if you really wanna just say, look, I don't know about any of that Trump stuff, I just think we shouldn't be giving children sex change surgery.

01:34:52.000 And they're going to say, overwhelmingly, that never happens.

01:34:57.000 And then my response to them is like, you know, Jazz Jennings has a show, I think on AMC or some other, or I don't know what channel it's on.

01:35:03.000 Like, yeah, they give kids sex changes. 1.00

01:35:05.000 I just, I don't, I think it's probably wrong.

01:35:08.000 But there are people who just either won't believe it, refuse to listen to evidence.

01:35:12.000 Larry Elder came on the show and said that he had a friend who believed the hoax about Donald Trump.

01:35:18.000 I think it was the Very Fine People hoax.

01:35:19.000 And he said, he pulled up the transcript and says, here, just read it.

01:35:21.000 And the guy says, no.

01:35:25.000 So what do you do?

01:35:26.000 They just say no.

01:35:27.000 They won't do it.

01:35:28.000 Sure.

01:35:28.000 And that's the most common thing.

01:35:30.000 Yeah.

01:35:30.000 But I mean, my experience, you know, because I will sit on Facebook and I'll see these memes from all these like Occupy Wall Street people I know.

01:35:38.000 And so I'll just post pictures and then they'll just delete the comment.

01:35:42.000 You know, they'll say like, this that or otherwise happened.

01:35:45.000 And then I'll just post a news story and a picture and they will delete the comment so no one can see it.

01:35:49.000 And I'm like, okay.

01:35:51.000 And the response that I got was that I'm breaking consensus reality because that's more important.

01:35:55.000 And I was just one person who told me that, but I think that exemplifies it.

01:35:58.000 I think there's people who just want everyone to fit in.

01:36:00.000 Yeah, I think it's always good that that you, you know, one of the things that I respect about you is that you push back, I don't always agree with you.

01:36:07.000 But I think it's I think that you structure your thoughts the right way.

01:36:11.000 And that you come at things with the intention of coming to the truth, you know, now, we might have different, we might come at it from a different angle.

01:36:23.000 And we might disagree on some of the different pieces.

01:36:26.000 But I think that having conversation is incredibly important.

01:36:30.000 Yeah.

01:36:30.000 And I think it is harder and harder to have conversation, not only because like you and I are having this conversation, but I know that as a result of you and I having this conversation, I am going to get a whole bunch of people that like me and a whole bunch of people that hate me.

01:36:44.000 Oh, yeah.

01:36:45.000 I'm going to get people that hate me just because I'm here.

01:36:48.000 Right.

01:36:49.000 Just because I came on the show, and that is so different than how I grew up.

01:36:54.000 I think this is a great discussion, you know, as much as I probably talk too much, but having pushback on the stuff we frequently talk about is one of the most important things we can do.

01:37:04.000 So I think that's fantastic.

01:37:06.000 Obviously, I think, you know, the audience listening, probably they listen because they probably agree with a lot of what I say.

01:37:11.000 Sure.

01:37:11.000 So they'll probably disagree with you, but a lot of people have been agreeing with you and some people have been insulting me and stuff like that.

01:37:17.000 I think it's all good within reason.

01:37:18.000 I mean, we try to keep our criticism to functional, but I know this is a fantastic conversation.

01:37:24.000 Let's go to Super Chats.

01:37:36.000 Sure.

01:37:36.000 All right, let's read.

01:37:38.000 HexMayor says, it's so great to see Nick Ahn, creator of the greatest zombie movie ever, Range 15.

01:37:45.000 Nick would love to hear about your car ride with Alex Soros and Tim Kennedy.

01:37:49.000 What was that all about?

01:37:51.000 Which one?

01:37:53.000 Alex Soros and Tim Kennedy.

01:37:54.000 All right, so this is one of the wildest things that has happened to me.

01:37:58.000 So Tim and I got back, we left Afghanistan to UAE, and then from UAE we had to move 300 people that were being hosted by a non-profit and all of this had been coordinated with State Department and the Albanian government and this NGO and so Tim and I are going to bring these 300 people to Albania so we leave UAE on a plane full of full of Afghans 1.00

01:38:32.000 And, you know, we land, you know, it's like 2am and like all this press is there, there's all these people.

01:38:40.000 And, you know, we're supposed to be meeting everybody at the resort where all of these Afghans were housed the next day.

01:38:50.000 And so we get there, and it's amazing.

01:38:52.000 Afghan, like, one of the happiest moments of my life are, like, you know, some of these kids that were literally, like, laying on the tarmac.

01:39:00.000 Their lives had just been in jeopardy.

01:39:03.000 And the next time I see them, they are playing tag, and they're drawing pictures, and, like, literally tears in my eyes.

01:39:12.000 And then this woman who we had been kind of, you know, speaking with was like, Hey, you know, um, Alex wants to meet you guys.

01:39:21.000 Like, you know, he wants to, and I have no idea who we're talking about, just like her boss, Alex.

01:39:26.000 And so, you know, this limo pulls up and, and we're, we're going to go get lunch with Alex.

01:39:32.000 And, you know, so Tim and I get in the car.

01:39:34.000 There's two bodyguards in there and there's this dude and we're sitting there and you know we're talking to him he's perfectly nice and Tim just leans over and he goes I think I think this is Alex Soros.

01:39:51.000 And I was like, bro, I think it is Alex Soros.

01:39:54.000 How old is he?

01:39:56.000 He's like our age.

01:39:57.000 Oh, I say our age.

01:39:57.000 I'm older.

01:39:58.000 But, you know, he's... How old are you?

01:40:01.000 I'm 45.

01:40:01.000 Oh, okay.

01:40:01.000 Yeah.

01:40:02.000 So you are older.

01:40:03.000 I'm older.

01:40:03.000 Yeah.

01:40:06.000 And, but yeah, he's 30s, 40s, you know, yeah, probably like 38, my guess.

01:40:11.000 You wanna look it up, see how close I am?

01:40:13.000 I say 38, that's my guess.

01:40:14.000 Well then, I'm 36, so our age is close.

01:40:16.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.63

01:40:17.000 So, um, so then Kennedy goes, he just, he does this, he looks around, looks at both the security guards, and he just goes, hey man, uh, Nick and I could totally kill you if we wanted to.

01:40:29.000 He does he does he goes he's like and and he goes like that guy's the only guy in the car with a gun and I'm gonna grab him and while I'm grabbing him Nick's definitely taking out the other guy and then it's me and Nick against you and Alex go to his credit like stone-faced.

01:40:46.000 He goes Tim. 0.94

01:40:48.000 Are you gonna kill me?

01:40:49.000 He's like any Tim's like no, of course not you like, you know, you're very nice and you're doing a great thing for these Afghans He's like good, but then his other security guard this English guy is like I told you we needed more security I Take it more as of him giving a warning to him like you need more security.

01:41:08.000 That's what it was It was it was all in good.

01:41:10.000 Nobody actually like he wasn't threatening anyone Wow, that's a crazy story.

01:41:14.000 But it was, it was like, we got in this vehicle and we just, we had no idea.

01:41:19.000 Man.

01:41:20.000 We had no idea.

01:41:20.000 And I was like, like, you know, that's great.

01:41:23.000 He's 36.

01:41:25.000 And I was in the ballpark.

01:41:27.000 He used to come on the show.

01:41:28.000 Be great to talk to him.

01:41:29.000 I'll tell you what, like, you know, he was great.

01:41:32.000 I'll just say he was great.

01:41:33.000 And he was very generous to the Afghans.

01:41:35.000 I'll say that.

01:41:36.000 Yeah.

01:41:37.000 I always think it's important to give people credit when they do things that are good.

01:41:39.000 100%.

01:41:40.000 You know, positive outcome.

01:41:41.000 Even if like, you know, I'll give AOC credit when she called out the police on January 6th for opening the doors and all that stuff.

01:41:47.000 I'm like, she's right.

01:41:48.000 Let's get an investigation.

01:41:49.000 I want to know what happened with that.

01:41:50.000 Because that means there may be some innocent people in jail.

01:41:52.000 I mean, some people who should be aren't.

01:41:54.000 All right, we got Catherine Gillen says, in the UK, the TCs have changed our bank accounts.

01:42:02.000 Quote, if there is an unstable economy that affects the banking markets, we will limit your funds, and if you have too much money in your account, we will charge you.

01:42:11.000 Wow, can someone look that up to see if they're reporting on that?

01:42:14.000 Yeah, I'd love to see it.

01:42:16.000 What's it?

01:42:17.000 Bank limits, UK, war or something?

01:42:20.000 I don't know.

01:42:21.000 Because the pound was collapsing.

01:42:22.000 This seems, you know.

01:42:25.000 That makes sense.

01:42:25.000 Yeah, man.

01:42:26.000 Sam says, my brother was in Afghanistan during the surrender at Bagram.

01:42:30.000 He said it was like they woke up that morning and made the decision totally unplanned.

01:42:34.000 Yeah, that's crazy.

01:42:37.000 Is that sound like that you've heard?

01:42:40.000 That's consistent with everything I've heard is it was a huge surprise.

01:42:43.000 They didn't even tell the Afghans that they were leaving.

01:42:46.000 They just left in the middle of the night.

01:42:47.000 And then they looted the base.

01:42:49.000 It's crazy.

01:42:50.000 Trash Panda says, Nick, love your few cartoons, especially the gun control one.

01:42:54.000 Oh, yeah.

01:42:55.000 My drill sergeant showed my platoon in basic down at Fort Benning.

01:42:58.000 Hope is not a plan.

01:43:02.000 So a while ago, I had an animated cartoon called the damn few when I was when I was still running when I was still running ranger up and it's like It started off like two minute videos and then by the end we were doing full like 30 minute episodic animations So that was a lot of fun As London has a big hand in the world's financial markets with LIBOR, this is really bothering me as it looks like they might try to freeze our bank accounts.

01:43:30.000 They have already done this in Greece before.

01:43:32.000 Everyone check your bank's terms and conditions.

01:43:36.000 You know, Catherine, I really do appreciate the British pounds you've sent.

01:43:39.000 It's just, you know, the values drop so much.

01:43:42.000 I don't know.

01:43:44.000 I actually was in Greece when they prevented people from taking money out of their own accounts, and there was just massive riots.

01:43:52.000 I saw so much violence in the streets there, and it happens a lot.

01:43:56.000 It happens in so many different places around the world.

01:44:00.000 I was there on the ground reporting in Zimbabwe as well.

01:44:02.000 It happened recently in China.

01:44:03.000 They just sent tanks on the streets there because people can't get their money out of their bank accounts.

01:44:08.000 In Lebanon, people are literally going to the banks with guns, holding the guns.

01:44:13.000 No, she had a fake gun.

01:44:15.000 Because they don't want the bank's money.

01:44:17.000 They want their own money.

01:44:18.000 And the banks are saying, we're not going to give it to you.

01:44:19.000 There was a famous guy who had to pay for his father's surgery, couldn't pay for it, literally got a gun, became a national case.

01:44:26.000 And those cases are becoming more common all over the world.

01:44:28.000 This is why the first thing I did when the end of the year comes in, profits roll in, is I took $250,000 and lined the inside of a banana stand that I have.

01:44:39.000 Oh yeah?

01:44:40.000 That sounds familiar.

01:44:41.000 It sounds like there's always money in the banana stand.

01:44:43.000 Yeah, just in case.

01:44:45.000 There's always money in the banana stand.

01:44:46.000 I'll tell you what, the more you... I mean, you know this, you've traveled overseas a lot.

01:44:50.000 When I travel overseas, I travel with a lot of cash, because you just...

01:44:55.000 Like, you don't know.

01:44:56.000 Like, you know, in, like, Ukraine.

01:44:58.000 The right amount.

01:44:58.000 Too much is bad, too little is bad.

01:45:00.000 You can't go over $2,000, right?

01:45:03.000 Or $10,000.

01:45:03.000 $10,000.

01:45:03.000 I heard they limited that recently.

01:45:05.000 $10,000 without paying, you know, like, essentially taxes on it.

01:45:08.000 Because then they think you're doing some kind of business.

01:45:10.000 But, like, in Ukraine, you know, it's hard to get cash.

01:45:14.000 Very hard to get cash.

01:45:16.000 People are using Bitcoin.

01:45:18.000 So we, you know, we travel with a bunch of American cash every time that we're over there.

01:45:24.000 Yeah, I remember when I was covering news in Kiev, and we had a bunch of British pounds and dollars, and we were paying people with British pounds and dollars, and they were just, like, shocked, because the exchange rate's nuts, like, people there get the equivalent of a couple hundred bucks a month for their salaries, and then here we come in, these, like, you know, Westerners covering news, this was back in 2014, and we were just, like, to us it was normal to be like, oh, here, grab some food, hand them 20 bucks, and they're going, whoa!

01:45:50.000 Like, you don't need that much, but thank you, and we're like, okay, that's cool, man.

01:45:54.000 I remember landing in India during their currency reset.

01:45:58.000 Utter chaos.

01:45:59.000 All the money was just devalued right away.

01:46:04.000 I was in the former Soviet Union right after the collapse of communism as part of the Eisenhower program, so I was like 16, 17.

01:46:16.000 And spent a few months in Russia and at the time, you know, only a few years prior it was close to one-to-one and it was like a thousand rubles to the dollar and I was like a rich high school kid.

01:46:32.000 I was like, this is amazing, you know?

01:46:35.000 Came back with all kinds of like art and stuff that I never would have been able to afford.

01:46:38.000 Tetris.

01:46:40.000 Tetris, yeah.

01:46:41.000 All right, Lou Sassel says, Nick, thank you for everything you've done.

01:46:44.000 Recently watched Send Me, and it was amazing slash heartbreaking.

01:46:48.000 Truly opens your eyes to what happened.

01:46:50.000 Screw that colonel.

01:46:52.000 Now excuse me while I go watch Range 15.

01:46:54.000 Gene Vandenham could have saved Afghanistan.

01:46:57.000 He could have.

01:46:58.000 Right on.

01:46:59.000 So Send Me is the documentary about Afghanistan?

01:47:01.000 Send Me is the documentary.

01:47:03.000 So when I went over there, when we all went over there, I threw a Canon C70 in my backpack.

01:47:10.000 And, uh, bless you.

01:47:12.000 And, you know, um, filmed, you know, uh, what was going on.

01:47:17.000 And then, you know, when we got back to UAE, did some interviews and then spent, you know, over the last year I've interviewed everybody again that was there.

01:47:25.000 And we put together a documentary that kind of told the real story of how bad it was because the U.S. 0.64

01:47:30.000 media, You know, kind of made it seem like, you know, the Taliban are working with Americans and everything's fine, you know, or meanwhile, like on the ground, you know, people are, the Taliban are, you know, shooting people anytime any, anything got people got riled up, they would just, you know, fire an AK into the crowd.

01:47:50.000 You know, one of my friends, you know, was, you Trying to get this woman out, you know, she wasn't this wasn't part of our group part of a different group and They they murdered her right on the hood of the car.

01:48:03.000 There was nothing they could do about it you know just like I mean really horrible stuff was happening and You know, nobody nobody stateside was really telling that story.

01:48:13.000 It was just like oh, this is a peaceful You know, and they they were, they were not attacking Americans, but they were certainly attacking Afghans. 0.91

01:48:23.000 And so we just tried to tell the honest story of kind of what happened and what it was like.

01:48:29.000 And we thought it was important that the American people see it.

01:48:33.000 Where can they find it?

01:48:34.000 It's on Amazon Prime and, you know, any funds that come into it get donated to the organization that, you know, Tim Kennedy, Chad Robeshaw, Sara Verardo and I founded called Save Our Allies.

01:48:47.000 Now is that all proceeds or just profits?

01:48:50.000 No, literally all of it.

01:48:51.000 So there's no, like, cost?

01:48:53.000 It's just like, if someone spends 20 bucks on the video, that 20 bucks goes right to the charity?

01:48:56.000 Yes.

01:48:57.000 Well, I mean, like whatever Amazon takes, but right, but all revenue goes like we set up an LLC, all revenue goes to that LLC.

01:49:04.000 And then, you know, essentially, like, I mean, I'm sure we'll have to pay like an accountant.

01:49:10.000 But other than that, like, we are not taking anything from it, not even to like recoup costs or anything.

01:49:15.000 Why did you not make a charity?

01:49:16.000 Why an LLC?

01:49:18.000 Um, so just any time that you make, uh, like a movie, you want it to be its own LLC, just like there's, you know, this, like, you know, like it, they want us every song to be its own company.

01:49:30.000 That's just crazy.

01:49:31.000 Potential lawsuits, potential problems, but you know, like in, when you're, when it's a, when it's an NGO, there's, There's so many more rules about a 501c3, the things you have to do.

01:49:43.000 So this way it's just like, hey, like whatever money comes into that thing, we just cut a check over.

01:49:48.000 Oh, to a non-profit?

01:49:50.000 I got you.

01:49:51.000 Specifically to save our allies, which is...

01:49:53.000 You know, in the wake of Afghanistan, you know, a good chunk of the people that were part of that, that evacuation, stood up this 501 c three, you know, to continue doing that work.

01:50:06.000 And so, you know, and that work has gotten more and more frustrating, because it's harder and harder to move Afghans.

01:50:13.000 But, you know, so we're still helping Afghans.

01:50:15.000 And then we also have a another part of the organization that is doing work in Ukraine.

01:50:21.000 All right, Steve Cohen says, saw Luke in that HBO documentary, The Anarchist.

01:50:25.000 Felt like they may try to drag you guys soon with that.

01:50:29.000 Why, was it a bad depiction?

01:50:30.000 There's nothing really to drag.

01:50:32.000 Did they show you, like, doing drugs?

01:50:35.000 No.

01:50:36.000 No, no.

01:50:36.000 Ayahuasca?

01:50:37.000 No, no.

01:50:38.000 Luke's, like, seeing space demons?

01:50:41.000 No, no, none of that, none of that.

01:50:42.000 It was an interesting series, to say the least, but... Is it a series?

01:50:47.000 Yeah, yeah, the depiction wasn't, you know, as honest as I thought it should be, but whatever.

01:50:52.000 All right.

01:50:53.000 11BravoNRD says, For Nick, with inflation going on, does my Ranger Up 5-Year Challenge coin only get me an 8-ounce beer instead of the full 12-ounce beer?

01:51:01.000 Baker Boys 1-15, INF 3rd ID.

01:51:04.000 I will buy the full 12-ounce beer, don't worry about it.

01:51:07.000 Oh man, taking a loss, but doing the right thing.

01:51:12.000 Alright. 0.75

01:51:14.000 PowderPZ says, if we were in a sane world, Biden would have been forced to resign by now, but unfortunately we live in clown world.

01:51:20.000 That just means Kamala Harris will be president, right?

01:51:22.000 Is that it?

01:51:26.000 Well, all right.

01:51:27.000 Grayson Hendricks says, you obviously read a lot on history, and you also say it's written by the victor.

01:51:32.000 Given that, how do you determine which books on history to trust?

01:51:35.000 Been a member for about a year, love the show.

01:51:38.000 Don't know.

01:51:39.000 You don't.

01:51:40.000 History is written by the victors.

01:51:41.000 You can try and find depictions from other people, so I'm really interested in, you know, I mentioned this a couple times.

01:51:47.000 I went to Stonewall Jackson's headquarters for when he was running defense for the Shenandoah Valley, and there's a book.

01:51:52.000 There's a book he wrote, and I'm like, I'd like to read it.

01:51:54.000 But that's how you do it, you know?

01:51:56.000 Like, that dude certainly wrote his perspective on the Civil War.

01:51:59.000 You can read his perspective.

01:52:00.000 I mean, yo, Hitler wrote a book.

01:52:02.000 Like, you can read it if you want to, you know?

01:52:05.000 So... But it is true, there's a lot on history that's fake.

01:52:08.000 And when you look at how the media operates today, you know that it's probably faker than you thought.

01:52:13.000 What do you do?

01:52:14.000 Yeah, I wonder if there's that message that smallpox wiped out the Native American population, 90% of it.

01:52:20.000 I'm starting to even question that.

01:52:22.000 That's what we were told.

01:52:23.000 For all I know, they went in there with weapons and killed them all.

01:52:26.000 And they were like, no, disease did it.

01:52:27.000 It wasn't us.

01:52:29.000 Zach McKeel says, someone tell Nick to bring back BNN or apologize to the plants for wasting the oxygen they worked so hard to make.

01:52:36.000 JK probably.

01:52:38.000 What was BNN?

01:52:39.000 So for a few years we had this show called the Bad News Network and basically it was like kind of a comedic look at the news but we covered serious topics like we went in depth on every topic but we did it in a way that was Manageable.

01:52:56.000 So the show was usually 20 to 30 minutes.

01:52:58.000 We did it once a week and it was like a recap of the big stuff that happened that week.

01:53:03.000 But it's technically owned by Ranger Up and so when I sold the controlling share of that, I stopped doing it.

01:53:11.000 We're in the process of coming up with a different show, so there will be something new soon.

01:53:15.000 Right on.

01:53:16.000 Free men die free says Blueanon has embraced all the pillars of totalitarianism. 0.75

01:53:21.000 Civil war will be the end result because it is incompatible to our libertarian foundations. 0.78

01:53:27.000 Or, you know, I think one possibility that would potentially avoid war is if we start building up culture.

01:53:35.000 This guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, is that his name?

01:53:39.000 Investor goes to Disney and says, stop getting woke.

01:53:41.000 If these companies actually start rejecting this, then you'll see a lot of these weirdo cult people break out and be like, oh, I never supported that stuff.

01:53:48.000 Or, oh, don't look at me.

01:53:49.000 And that will kind of simmer things down.

01:53:51.000 But that's a hopefully, you know.

01:53:53.000 Don't know for sure what exactly will happen, but I don't know, man.

01:53:57.000 It seems like things have been getting crazy.

01:54:00.000 Brewmaster Monk says, forget Yuri Bezmenov, watch the K. Griggs interview from 1998.

01:54:05.000 Spouse to a chief of staff colonel in the Marines, spilling the beans on Epstein-esque blackmail in the highest levels of the military.

01:54:11.000 You ever hear that, Luke?

01:54:13.000 Um, what's the name again?

01:54:14.000 K. Griggs interview.

01:54:15.000 Was that the Satanic guy?

01:54:17.000 I haven't looked into this.

01:54:20.000 Alright, take a look into it.

01:54:22.000 As Luke is doing that, I will be looking at some of these Super Chats. 1.00

01:54:27.000 Camgirl Asuna says, I would say there are legit reasons to see the Left and the Establishment as enemies.

01:54:31.000 Look at what they are doing to kids.

01:54:33.000 Realize that these things aren't happening to an abstract group of kids, but rather to your kids.

01:54:37.000 I fight to protect my kids' lives.

01:54:41.000 Yeah.

01:54:42.000 Well.

01:54:44.000 These are tough times.

01:54:45.000 I've seen this video like 20 years ago.

01:54:47.000 Yeah, what is it?

01:54:49.000 I have to refresh my memory.

01:54:51.000 It was a very long time ago.

01:54:52.000 I have it pulled up on YouTube right now.

01:54:54.000 I'm gonna rewatch it, but it's two hours long.

01:54:57.000 Oh, wow. 0.99

01:54:57.000 Jeremy B says, damn, Tim is getting us drunk tonight. 0.99

01:55:00.000 That's right. 0.99

01:55:02.000 Everybody, you know, I think we said Civil War enough now to where...

01:55:08.000 John Jones says, Tim, I'm a Timcast member and I listen to your shows as a podcast.

01:55:11.000 You really need to have a members link that is ad-free, as in the last few months you have gone overboard with in-show adverts.

01:55:17.000 Other podcasts offer ad-free links.

01:55:19.000 We have not changed our ad structures at all, at any point.

01:55:24.000 Not a thing has changed.

01:55:24.000 So if more ads are appearing, it might be because YouTube automatically puts them in or something.

01:55:30.000 But I don't know, it also depends on where you're watching too.

01:55:32.000 Because I think we do what, like seven ads in the whole podcast?

01:55:37.000 Yeah.

01:55:37.000 Seven or eight?

01:55:38.000 Yep, seven.

01:55:38.000 Yep, it's always seven.

01:55:39.000 But like seven out of two hours.

01:55:41.000 Right.

01:55:41.000 You know, so over two hours.

01:55:42.000 We space out as wide as we can.

01:55:43.000 There's space out like every 20 minutes.

01:55:44.000 That's not bad.

01:55:45.000 No, I think it's actually like way less than most people do.

01:55:48.000 But it could be that, you know, whatever system you're listening on or on the back end for these platforms, they could be doubling up or something, I don't know.

01:55:57.000 Yeah, oh yeah, you know what?

01:55:58.000 I bet they do double them up.

01:56:00.000 The Daily Wire definitely does more.

01:56:01.000 And then if you don't like what your platform's doing, try a different platform.

01:56:04.000 We are working on a mobile app!

01:56:06.000 That's right.

01:56:06.000 And once we have that mobile app, we will have the ad-free versions and all of that stuff.

01:56:10.000 Or we're trying to.

01:56:12.000 It's remarkable with the way the economy is right now.

01:56:15.000 It's remarkable how hard it is to get anything done.

01:56:17.000 We were supposed to have construction started a year ago on Freedomistan.

01:56:21.000 And it started, I think, like three months ago.

01:56:23.000 And it was supposed to take two weeks, and it started three months ago.

01:56:26.000 So, that's where we're at.

01:56:30.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:56:34.000 Mount Jeeves says, is that Mount Jeeves?

01:56:36.000 Some people don't seem to realize not acting for the sake of saving your possessions or money or family doesn't really make any sense. 0.57

01:56:43.000 They're killing your kids right now. 1.00

01:56:44.000 They're taking everything away with inflation. 0.81

01:56:47.000 I would say figuratively killing your kids or there's a major detriment happening to the future of this country in that your kids will have substantially less than you did.

01:56:55.000 I wouldn't be surprised if your grandchildren don't have air conditioning or refrigerators. 0.95

01:57:00.000 And I really do mean that.

01:57:02.000 Because humans got by without them and they... You will owe nothing and you will be happy.

01:57:08.000 Yep.

01:57:09.000 There you go, man.

01:57:12.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:57:13.000 Trying to find something good.

01:57:14.000 There was one I wanted to read, but I can't seem to find it.

01:57:17.000 All right.

01:57:18.000 TheSnackLadyJackie says, I live in North Carolina.

01:57:21.000 None of the rest of our state except Asheville is like Chapel Hill.

01:57:24.000 Nick has no idea what kids are being taught, and most of North Carolina sees the virtue signaling of Chapel Hill.

01:57:31.000 Virtue signaling of Chapel Hill.

01:57:32.000 CH.

01:57:34.000 Okay.

01:57:37.000 I don't know what to say to that.

01:57:41.000 All right.

01:57:43.000 What do we got here?

01:57:46.000 Pinochet's Helicopter Tours, interesting name, says, as a retired Army 11B myself, to pretend government has a monopoly on force and is always in the right seems contrary to the oath I took and history.

01:57:57.000 But I do think there's a lot of people who are in the armed forces who will just follow orders.

01:58:04.000 Yeah, that's what history dictates.

01:58:04.000 That's what history dictates.

01:58:06.000 But I've asked people this question.

01:58:08.000 So, I've spent some time on some military bases, I have family.

01:58:12.000 And the answer, I said, if you were ordered to shoot, you know, like, some guy in a street corner, an American 0.87

01:58:17.000 citizen, would you do it? 0.60

01:58:17.000 And they were like, probably. 0.60

01:58:19.000 Like, the assumption that people are making when you think the soldier would say no, is that the person is innocent.

01:58:24.000 But the assumption the soldier is making is, I trust my chain of command and my commanding officer.

01:58:29.000 They're not telling me to randomly kill an innocent person.

01:58:32.000 We're trying to, you know, if they say stop that person, take them out, it could be a person with a weapon, a bomb, a murderer.

01:58:37.000 Yeah, I think that's probably true for an individual moment, but like a sustained operation.

01:58:43.000 Like, if you told a platoon, like, you know, I'm thinking back to when I was a platoon leader.

01:58:47.000 If I told my platoon, hey, we're gonna go Right.

01:58:49.000 Uh, you know storm greenville and start killing people like I am very sure they would not listen to me, right? 0.94

01:58:56.000 I'm, very I mean vietnam was crazy. I am i'm very sure of that 0.92

01:58:59.000 So, you know, I I think give people give the military some credit. I I do not think that in general terms the military

01:59:06.000 wants to take any action against Against the country unless it is like a true crisis

01:59:14.000 What was the university that had the National Guard shoot up the... Kent State.

01:59:18.000 That was Kent State.

01:59:19.000 What about Kent State?

01:59:21.000 Yeah, that's conflicting history on that.

01:59:23.000 Yeah.

01:59:23.000 So I mean, you know, Kent State, you had National Guard members that are that, you know, had at the time that National Guard then was not the National Guard now where there was like real training that hadn't been in, you know, any kind of aggressive situation before.

01:59:39.000 And they had people throwing rocks at them.

01:59:41.000 And it was an aggressive, you know, they think that can't happen now, though.

01:59:45.000 Of course, anything can happen.

01:59:46.000 Like, I mean, people are, we're all, we're fancy monkeys, right?

01:59:50.000 So like, you know, I mean, you know, if, you know, if you're not trained and you're afraid, you're going to make bad decisions.

01:59:59.000 And so like, you know, everything that you talk, Tim Kennedy always talks about training, you know, like if you are used to being in crisis, if you're used to, Yeah, but the military chain of command is a lot smarter.

02:00:13.000 I mean, they have people literally on their computers dropping bombs on weddings, on American teenagers, and American soldiers are doing it without any problems.

02:00:22.000 It happened.

02:00:23.000 You're talking about drone strikes?

02:00:24.000 You're talking about overseas drone strikes?

02:00:26.000 Yeah.

02:00:27.000 I mean, so, so that's a whole other moral debate that we can get over.

02:00:31.000 I'm talking about in the United States, you know, asking like an infantry platoon to go like shoot up a town like it's not gonna happen.

02:00:40.000 What if they say, we got a bunch of MAGA extremists, they're far right and they've been plotting an attack?

02:00:45.000 I think if somebody's plotting an attack, that's different.

02:00:47.000 But how is the soldier going to know that they are?

02:00:48.000 Yeah, their chain of command will say it's happening.

02:00:50.000 And they'll say, we'll stop that.

02:00:51.000 And it could be some dude playing GTA in his living room.

02:00:54.000 I, you know, as, as a former military officer, I have a lot more confidence, you know, not only in the officer corps, but explicitly in the non commissioned officer corps.

02:01:07.000 But this is no disrespect to the soldiers.

02:01:10.000 It's a statement of the impossibilities.

02:01:14.000 If you have a commanding officer who says, look, we've got a group of guys who've been plotting some kind of terror attack on a bridge.

02:01:20.000 We're gonna go stop them.

02:01:22.000 Then they show up in their vehicles, and sure enough, here's the group, as described, their MAGA hats on, armed.

02:01:27.000 They're not gonna be like...

02:01:29.000 I don't trust my CEO.

02:01:31.000 He's an armed group.

02:01:32.000 No, that's true.

02:01:34.000 And these guys could be like doing a veterans memorial and have no idea, but some person wants to get rid of them.

02:01:39.000 That's what I mean. 0.99

02:01:40.000 The chain of command is not going to say, hey, kill your neighbor, kill your brother.

02:01:43.000 They're far more sophisticated when they have an operation that they need to carry out.

02:01:46.000 Look at the collateral.

02:01:48.000 One last point, the collateral murder video that was released by WikiLeaks.

02:01:51.000 They were celebrating the murder of Reuters journalists.

02:01:54.000 But I've got to come back after you're done.

02:01:56.000 Of course.

02:01:57.000 Absolutely.

02:01:57.000 Yeah.

02:01:59.000 There is no, if, if you, if you, if you served in the military, you realize how hard it would be to do some of these things that you're, that you're describing, like where, where you're going to get.

02:02:16.000 Waco?

02:02:16.000 All of these guys.

02:02:18.000 Well, that's a different situation, right?

02:02:20.000 Where you're going to get all of these guys to be in on some kind of a conspiracy.

02:02:24.000 They won't be in on it.

02:02:25.000 So I was, uh, uh, There was, when, remember that failed coup attempt in Turkey?

02:02:32.000 I'm sure the details have changed by now, so fact check the change details, but what was being reported at the time?

02:02:32.000 Yep.

02:02:40.000 A bunch of soldiers drove onto the Bosphorus Bridge, which controls entry into the Black Sea.

02:02:47.000 Then all of a sudden we started seeing shooting from helicopters, and the media reported that it was a coup attempt.

02:02:53.000 Those soldiers on the bridge, it was reported, had no idea what was going on.

02:02:58.000 But civilians came, grabbed them, and beat them, and dragged them through the streets.

02:03:01.000 I think many of them were killed.

02:03:03.000 What apparently happened, and this was a report at the time, so it may not be true.

02:03:06.000 they may have updated the story, but what I was told was, not what I was told, but was actually on Twitter

02:03:11.000 and going through the news, was that a bunch of privates, low ranking guys were told,

02:03:17.000 we need to do a security exercise on this bridge because there's a risk of a terror attack.

02:03:21.000 And they went, sounds good to us.

02:03:23.000 And then they got a bunch of soldiers on the bridge.

02:03:26.000 And then the media came out and said, they're staging a coup.

02:03:29.000 Look, they're doing it now.

02:03:30.000 So everyone ran up and started attacking them.

02:03:30.000 Got it.

02:03:32.000 So if they came down and said, we got another Whitmer style plot, and the local law enforcement is unable to handle it, they're calling in the National Guard, their insurrection act. 0.75

02:03:44.000 Here's a picture of the guys.

02:03:45.000 They need to be detained by any means necessary because they could have bombs on them.

02:03:50.000 These guys aren't going to be like, I don't believe you.

02:03:53.000 They're gonna be like- Oh no, no, of course not.

02:03:55.000 They're gonna be like- Of course not.

02:03:56.000 I trust the intel.

02:03:57.000 Yeah, but they're- But then you could have a group of guys who are just basically like marching around demanding a petition, but they're there armed legally.

02:04:04.000 So these guys roll up and they see a bunch of dudes and they jump out and they're like, don't move!

02:04:08.000 Put your weapons down!

02:04:09.000 And then these guys are like, what's happening?

02:04:10.000 They get rounded up, brought to a camp.

02:04:13.000 Those privates, those lower-ranking guys, aren't in on anything.

02:04:17.000 They're doing what they believe to be true and correct because they trust their chain of command.

02:04:22.000 But the chain of command could be corrupt.

02:04:24.000 And it might not even be their immediate CEO.

02:04:24.000 Sure.

02:04:26.000 It could go up way high to like some lunatic like Millie or something. 0.96

02:04:29.000 Just like in Waco, they said, oh, they're shooting at us. 1.00

02:04:30.000 We've got to shoot them back. 0.99

02:04:31.000 And now children are burnt. 0.99

02:04:33.000 I know I'm going to make more enemies, but I have to stick up for Millie.

02:04:37.000 I mean, like, I'll tell you right now.

02:04:39.000 I don't know that anybody other than than Senator Tillis leaned forward more to help with the extraction of the folks in Afghanistan.

02:04:52.000 You know, it's, it's important, I can respect, it's, it's, it's important to remember that, you know, one, Millie is not the president, he serves at the The benefit of the president and to he is not a commander, you know, he he is in a purely advisory role.

02:05:13.000 You know, so like... Distracted by the cat.

02:05:14.000 No, no, it's no problem.

02:05:17.000 You know, I know for a fact that he was not, you know, he, he did not support the decisions that that were made around the extraction of Afghanistan.

02:05:27.000 And so like, hey, listen, if you want to criticize him for other things, I mean, like, you know, there's certainly, you know, as with all people, there's good and bad, but I will tell you that like, he gets a lot of heat.

02:05:37.000 But he was one of the only people fighting for the Afghan people during the extraction.

02:05:41.000 We'll grab one more here.

02:05:43.000 How do I pronounce this?

02:05:45.000 Okami Horo says, Nick is 100% correct about localizing your efforts.

02:05:50.000 Furthermore, people like this tend to be more involved in their local elections, school boards, etc.

02:05:55.000 Effort should be placed locally, and over time it will grow.

02:05:58.000 I definitely agree.

02:06:00.000 Vote locally, focus on your schools, focus on your neighbors, meet your neighbors, talk to your neighbors, organize with your neighbors, and really, if everybody at the grassroots worked towards their community, then we'd have one big beautiful community up top.

02:06:12.000 All right.
