Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Conservative Protesters BEAR MACE COPS, COVID Bill Has People PISSED w- Sean Parnell

00:00:00.000 A couple days ago, there were a bunch of conservatives, Trump supporters, typically a right wing group

00:00:27.000 of protesters in Oregon.

00:00:30.000 The governor had convened a meeting, I believe it was the governor, but it was at the State Capitol building.

00:00:35.000 And this right-wing group came out because they have a legal right to attend a public hearing.

00:00:40.000 We do.

00:00:41.000 We are a government for, of, and by the people, so if there's going to be a public hearing, you walk in the building and you listen to what they're saying.

00:00:48.000 Most people don't know this, too.

00:00:49.000 You can go to D.C.

00:00:50.000 You can go into the Capitol, like the Congress building, the Senate buildings.

00:00:54.000 You can walk around and walk into a congressperson's office.

00:00:57.000 You just open the door and walk right in.

00:00:59.000 Well, these Trump supporters, these conservatives, they show up, and what ends up happening?

00:01:04.000 There's a row of police telling them they can't actually come in.

00:01:07.000 At some point, I guess chaos ensued, and the most interesting thing about all of it was that the Trump supporting group, someone in this group, bear-maced the cops.

00:01:20.000 Now that's something you don't even really see all that often from Antifa.

00:01:24.000 And so this story is from a couple days ago, and I just find it absolutely fascinating with everything that's going on, and more importantly, That we have this coronavirus spending bill, $900 billion.

00:01:34.000 The total omnibus spending bill was like $2.3 billion, which included this.

00:01:38.000 And it's famously providing $10 million to Pakistan for gender programs.

00:01:43.000 That's exactly what the American people have been begging for, with where their tax dollars would go in an unprecedented crisis, where their businesses have been completely and totally destroyed.

00:01:51.000 And that's why I'm bringing these two stories together and bringing up this protest from the past few days.

00:01:55.000 To see right-wing groups attack police in any capacity tells you that the wick or that the line of powder leading to that powder keg has been lit and conservatives aren't going to be taking all that much longer.

00:02:09.000 Seeing Trump supporters start criticizing police and mock them instead of defend them when they when you hear defund the police Well, that's interesting.

00:02:18.000 The establishment needed at least that level of support from Trump supporters.

00:02:22.000 So we're going to talk about all this.

00:02:23.000 We'll talk about a lot of stuff going on with the COVID hypocrisy.

00:02:26.000 Dr. Birx retiring because she's violating her own lockdowns. 0.83

00:02:29.000 It is hypocrisy all the way down.

00:02:31.000 We have an awesome guest.

00:02:32.000 Sean Parnell is hanging out.

00:02:34.000 You want to explain?

00:02:36.000 Some people are listening, so they can't hear, they can't see you.

00:02:38.000 Oh, I thought there was like a camera and stuff, and people were looking.

00:02:41.000 Well, I'm here.

00:02:42.000 I'm excited to be here.

00:02:42.000 You know I'm excited to be here.

00:02:44.000 Definitely, definitely.

00:02:44.000 I've been watching your journey, you know, and watching your show.

00:02:47.000 With Verizon, trying to get the internet hooked up?

00:02:49.000 Yeah, that's been a saga in and of itself, right?

00:02:51.000 It's been impossible.

00:02:52.000 Yeah, we live in very, very strange times.

00:02:56.000 The attacks in Oregon were something that we haven't seen before.

00:02:59.000 Tim, we were talking a little bit before the show.

00:03:03.000 I feel bad for the police because I feel like they've been put in an impossible situation.

00:03:09.000 You know, the police in Pennsylvania, though, one of the things that that I've been advocating for for for quite some time now, and I say it over and over when I'm out, is that government derives its power from the consent of the governed.

00:03:26.000 And what I've been saying both publicly and on social media for some time now is that we simply need to disobey these unconstitutional lockdowns.

00:03:36.000 In other words, keep your small business open.

00:03:38.000 Nonviolent civil disobedience keep your restaurant open and if you're a police officer that finds yourself in a tough

00:03:44.000 position And boy anytime they put a gun on their hip and they wear a

00:03:48.000 bad day wear that badge on their chest anytime they leave Their family they put themselves out there for us every day

00:03:54.000 and they deserve our gratitude for that But if you're if you're a cop and you're putting in a tough

00:03:58.000 position to shut down a small business or close a restaurant

00:04:02.000 Simply don't obey an unconstitutional order.

00:04:05.000 Indeed, when you're in the military, you know, people think that soldiers just obey every command that's given down to them.

00:04:10.000 No, you we have a duty and obligation to disobey orders that are not moral, right?

00:04:15.000 Or that violate the Constitution.

00:04:17.000 And so what I've been calling for in Pennsylvania is civil disobedience from small businesses and restaurants and the police, you know, state troopers, sheriffs, local municipal cops.

00:04:28.000 Just simply disobey unconstitutional orders and all of this ends tomorrow.

00:04:33.000 Just done.

00:04:34.000 But Tim, this does not mean that we're not going to take COVID seriously.

00:04:39.000 This does not mean that we're not going to follow CDC guidelines.

00:04:43.000 This does not mean that we're not going to protect the vulnerable.

00:04:46.000 No, no.

00:04:47.000 What I'm talking about is entirely separate.

00:04:51.000 I believe that we should trust people We should put faith and trust in people to assess what level of risk is tolerable for them, right?

00:05:02.000 And respect their individual rights.

00:05:04.000 Absolutely.

00:05:06.000 We are not a country of kings or of a king.

00:05:09.000 This is a country founded upon the idea that the individual would choose what's best and their rights must be respected.

00:05:14.000 Absolutely.

00:05:16.000 For those that don't know who Sean is, how would you describe yourself?

00:05:19.000 You're a politician.

00:05:21.000 Don't say that about me!

00:05:25.000 Every time someone calls me a politician, I throw up in my mouth a little bit.

00:05:28.000 But you ran for office, so you're a politician.

00:05:31.000 I did.

00:05:33.000 I ran for office, even though it wasn't my idea.

00:05:36.000 President Trump called me out randomly at a speech in Western Pennsylvania to run.

00:05:40.000 Before that, I was doing charity work.

00:05:43.000 I was a small part of a charity that gives service dogs to veterans who come home from war.

00:05:47.000 Poured myself into that.

00:05:49.000 Did 35 to 50 public events a year all over the country giving away dogs.

00:05:53.000 It's kind of an amazing thing to behold because Dogs really do provide tangible healing value to people who have suffered greatly from PTSD, whether it's in the military or in other places.

00:06:03.000 Remember that guy you were talking about?

00:06:05.000 He was a journalist and he went to a range and he fired the AR-15 and then claimed he got PTSD.

00:06:10.000 Maybe we should get him like a pug or a Yorkshire Terrier or something.

00:06:13.000 Some little small lap dog, a Pomeranian, make him feel better.

00:06:16.000 Yeah, we're gonna put him on the list.

00:06:18.000 We have to put him on the list.

00:06:20.000 Get him a dog.

00:06:21.000 And so, but I also, I also write, uh, I write books, I write stories.

00:06:24.000 And before I, before I, um, uh, jumped into politics and, uh, this, this crazy war that we're in, political war that we're in.

00:06:33.000 I was in Hollywood trying to sell screenplays and stories for, for books.

00:06:36.000 I mean, and so, uh, I was medically retired.

00:06:38.000 Yeah, I know.

00:06:39.000 I know.

00:06:40.000 You know, there are good.

00:06:43.000 There are good people in Hollywood, there are.

00:06:46.000 There are good producers, there are good writers that sort of believe the same things that we do.

00:06:50.000 And before any of that, before I was an infantryman in the army, went to ranger school, went to airborne school, and then went to Afghanistan for 16 months of heavy combat.

00:07:00.000 Just the longest combat deployment in global war and terror history, where 85% of my men were wounded, some twice.

00:07:06.000 I think one dude was wounded three times.

00:07:09.000 Six of my troops weren't even citizens of this country when they served.

00:07:13.000 Northerners serving next to Southerners, Black next to White, Christians next to Atheists. 0.99

00:07:17.000 I mean, we were the most diverse infantry platoon that you could possibly imagine.

00:07:22.000 And it was my job as a 24-year-old kid to sort of be the platoon leader, even though As a platoon leader, you're not really in charge of anything.

00:07:29.000 I had non-commissioned officers and soldiers who were probably 30 years old, 40 years old, who had a heck of a lot more experience than I did.

00:07:38.000 Some of whom had multiple combat deployments.

00:07:42.000 What I try to do as a young leader was just, you know, show up at my unit.

00:07:46.000 Yeah, I had the cool sexy schools that the army required of a position of platoon leader in light infantry, but just have big eyes, big ears, be humble, self-effacing, and just listen to those experienced non-commissioned officers who are the real door kickers in combat and let them teach, coach, and mentor me on what they thought was a servant leader.

00:08:04.000 And so that's sort of been What I've been doing my entire adult life.

00:08:08.000 I don't know if you wanted an answer as in-depth as that, but I basically gave you my whole life story.

00:08:14.000 One thing I've said often is that probably the biggest factor, if I'm looking at a politician to vote for, is if they served in the military.

00:08:20.000 Whatever branch, some kind of service.

00:08:22.000 Really?

00:08:23.000 That's important to you?

00:08:24.000 Absolutely.

00:08:25.000 And even as somebody who grew up in Chicago, I think growing up in Chicago actually brought me to that, but I come from a military family for the most part.

00:08:32.000 I didn't know that.

00:08:33.000 My dad was a Marine, my grandpa was a Marine World War II, he trained dogs.

00:08:37.000 My brother was in the Army, my sister, you know, she married somebody in the Army.

00:08:41.000 That was a while ago though.

00:08:42.000 Tim, do you want to know why I think it's important for, you know, I look at, you know, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, independent, if you've served in the military, it means that you at some point in time in your life, you put your country before yourself.

00:08:54.000 You put your country before your family.

00:08:56.000 You put your country before your own life or making a buck.

00:09:01.000 And something about that, the idea of putting your country first.

00:09:05.000 Not for money either.

00:09:06.000 Not for money.

00:09:07.000 No, I mean, not for money.

00:09:09.000 You put your country first.

00:09:10.000 You take that oath.

00:09:11.000 And again, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, the hope is that, you know, should you win some political office and you find yourself in Washington, that you can work with the other side.

00:09:20.000 You can put your country first and do what's best on behalf of the people.

00:09:24.000 Which is why this, you know, this COVID, this COVID relief bill, I think was just, it just did such a disservice.

00:09:33.000 I have issues with this bill on it.

00:09:35.000 Let's, let's, we'll save it.

00:09:36.000 Cause we're, we're supposed to be just doing the intro, but it was getting good.

00:09:38.000 I don't know.

00:09:38.000 I don't, I don't know how the show is structured.

00:09:41.000 Let me, let me, let me, let me say one thing.

00:09:43.000 I've drank a lot of these things too.

00:09:44.000 Cause we're, we're supposed to mention, you know, Ian and Lydia are here as well.

00:09:47.000 Yes, hello.

00:09:48.000 But I'll just say one thing.

00:09:49.000 There's, there's two important things I think about.

00:09:52.000 Uh, well, I'll say there's three things why I think military service is probably the best that... If you had, if I had two people and one person, you know, and they're both running and one at military service, I'd probably vote for them, you know.

00:10:02.000 So there's three things.

00:10:03.000 First and foremost, especially if you have combat experience, but regardless, you have basic training.

00:10:08.000 You've, you've, you've, you've toughened up, you've exercised, you've taken yourself seriously.

00:10:13.000 The second thing is, not everybody who joins the military is doing it for some noble cause.

00:10:18.000 Because, you know, I briefly lived on a military base.

00:10:21.000 My sister was living on Fort Carson in Colorado.

00:10:23.000 And so I met a lot of people who are like, I needed a job.

00:10:25.000 You know what I mean?

00:10:26.000 But there are a lot of people who are like, I wanted to do something, something bigger than myself.

00:10:30.000 I wanted to help.

00:10:30.000 I want to be, you know, help my country, help my people.

00:10:33.000 And they're not doing it to try and get rich.

00:10:35.000 Because you're not going to get rich doing it.

00:10:36.000 But I'll tell you what one of the best things is too, is you probably have a disdain for bureaucracy after getting out.

00:10:43.000 Absolutely.

00:10:43.000 And in fact, in fact, I personally believe one of the main responsibilities of a leader in garrison before you go to war is to be sort of like a filter of the bureaucracy.

00:10:55.000 The bureaucracy is going to pour a lot of stuff on you and your job as a leader is to filter out what matters, make sure that your troops can focus on the mission and training on whatever weapon system that they have or whatever duty position that they have.

00:11:07.000 It's interesting why I joined the military.

00:11:11.000 Is, you know, I don't come from a long line of, you know, military leaders or military members in my family.

00:11:16.000 I was a sophomore in college and elementary education at Clarion University, which is a small university in Western Pennsylvania and elementary education major, right?

00:11:26.000 But didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life.

00:11:28.000 I was like most sophomores in college and that I just You know, I wasn't sure that maybe being in a classroom with kids eight hours a day for the rest of my life was really what I wanted to do, even though I knew I wanted to serve in some way, give back to the community.

00:11:42.000 And I remember having a conversation with my roommates thinking like, well, my God, like, are Like, our generation at the time, we didn't really, like, have a moment, right?

00:11:52.000 Like, you had, like, the Cold War before us, and you had, you know, contingency operations in Panama, and then you had Desert Storm, but, like, our generation was really a golden age, you know?

00:12:01.000 A post-Clinton era of a balanced budget, where Democrats and Republicans worked together, like, we didn't really want for anything growing up from- as a kid, even though I was from a middle-class family and my parents lived paycheck to paycheck, I mean, I had a pretty good, carefree life, and...

00:12:15.000 I remember having this discussion with my roommates and then we had this big party over the weekend and I remember waking up on my on this rundown college couch one day surrounded by Iron City beer cans.

00:12:26.000 I feel like we had come off the bender of a lifetime and there were like cigarette butts out all around us and stuff and I remember sitting up and the world was spinning.

00:12:32.000 I had this hangover of a lifetime and I remember staggering over to the television set.

00:12:39.000 And turning it on and watching it flicker to life just in time to see an airplane crash into the World Trade Center.

00:12:45.000 And, you know, I feel like in that moment, my life was just I mean, I just remember staggering a few steps back and sitting on that rundown couch, just transfixed.

00:12:57.000 To that television set of just images of just raw horror of innocent Americans dying on live television.

00:13:03.000 I remember watching people tumble from those towers and land on the sidewalk, or people who were lucky enough to survive that fateful day stagger out of that wreckage, covered in foam.

00:13:11.000 Firefighters who ran into the building.

00:13:13.000 And that was it.

00:13:14.000 Tim, that was what did it for me, is watching how the first responders reacted.

00:13:18.000 The police officers, firefighters, or just ordinary American citizens with no training whatsoever, run into the flames instead of running away from them.

00:13:25.000 And I remember thinking as a college kid, how can I sit here and do nothing when ordinary American citizens are giving everything for people that they didn't know?

00:13:34.000 And, you know, anybody that lived through that day knows that most people who ran into those towers that day to save people never came out again with their life.

00:13:41.000 Yep.

00:13:42.000 And and that was it.

00:13:44.000 I mean, two days later, I was down at the recruiter's office, told him I want to join the infantry and not just that, go to airborne school and not just that, go to ranger school.

00:13:51.000 And And then I went home to talk to my parents about the decision.

00:13:56.000 It was kind of, it's kind of crazy.

00:13:57.000 And I remember getting in this big argument with my, with my father.

00:14:00.000 Um, and he, as we were driving back to Clary and it was like a 45 minute drive back to, to the university.

00:14:07.000 And he was like trying to convince me, look, you got two years left of school, just stay in school, go in as an officer.

00:14:13.000 And at the time, I mean, I didn't know the difference between, you know, it's good advice though, isn't it?

00:14:17.000 Yeah.

00:14:18.000 I mean, I didn't know the difference between a non-commissioned officer enlisted versus officer.

00:14:23.000 I mean, I was arguing because I wanted to get in the fight right now.

00:14:26.000 We had just been attacked.

00:14:28.000 I remember my dad was just relentless.

00:14:30.000 I remember looking at my dad and I remember saying to him, you know, Dad, what the heck have you ever done to be proud of in your life?

00:14:41.000 I just want to serve my country.

00:14:44.000 And he didn't say anything in return, and I was like, uh-oh.

00:14:46.000 I really know I crossed the line here, and the car just got quiet for about 10 minutes.

00:14:51.000 And my dad just looked at me, and he goes, well, I have four things that I'm proud of every day.

00:14:54.000 You know, you, your younger sister, and your two younger brothers.

00:14:58.000 And I was like, ugh.

00:15:00.000 I really screwed up, you know?

00:15:03.000 And so I took his advice, stayed in as an officer, or stayed in college, came out as an officer, and graduated from college in 2004 at Duquesne University in the heart of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and was immediate active duty, and just got thrown into the fray, you know?

00:15:19.000 Two years later, I was in Afghanistan.

00:15:20.000 College kid to combat veteran in two years.

00:15:22.000 Wow.

00:15:23.000 As a commissioned officer, though.

00:15:24.000 He's a commissioned officer, brand new second lieutenant.

00:15:27.000 Went to my officer basic course, went to airborne school, went to ranger school.

00:15:31.000 Ranger school was absolute hell.

00:15:33.000 I failed the first time through, but begged the brigade commander to let me stay, who tried to kick me out.

00:15:38.000 He's like, you're out of here, ranger.

00:15:39.000 And I'm like, I ain't going anywhere, sir.

00:15:41.000 No, seriously, Ranger, pack your stuff and get out of here.

00:15:43.000 I'm like, no, seriously, sir, I'm not going anywhere.

00:15:46.000 So he let me stay in these barracks for three weeks and wait for the next class to start.

00:15:50.000 Ranger school is divided into three phases, like the Georgia phase, the mountain phase, and the swamp phase in Florida.

00:15:55.000 All of them are horrible.

00:15:57.000 I went into Ranger School 225 pounds, running six minute and 30 second miles, the best shape of my life.

00:16:03.000 I came out of Ranger School 160 pounds.

00:16:05.000 Wow.

00:16:06.000 Because you're marching probably 20 miles a day.

00:16:08.000 You're not sleeping.

00:16:09.000 They've got to give you three hours of sleep a night, but it doesn't have to be concurrent.

00:16:12.000 So it'd be five minutes here, five minutes there.

00:16:14.000 And you just don't eat.

00:16:16.000 You just don't eat.

00:16:17.000 It's absolutely horrible.

00:16:19.000 And it's supposed to be The school was meant to train you on small unit tactics under extreme duress.

00:16:25.000 So can you lead while you're starving and have no sleep?

00:16:29.000 By the end of that school... Feel free to come over here when the apocalypse starts.

00:16:34.000 I'll defer to you.

00:16:34.000 You tell me what to do.

00:16:38.000 Well, first of all, of course.

00:16:39.000 I'll do that in a second.

00:16:40.000 This place is sweet.

00:16:42.000 But I relied on my ranger buddies to get me through.

00:16:45.000 I mean, they have this thing at the end of every phase.

00:16:49.000 At the end of the Georgia phase, which is sort of like where they wrap the ranger assessment phase.

00:16:54.000 Similar to Navy Seal, like Hell Week, you know, where they put you through that and like, they put you through all these sorts of assessments like drown proofing, you know, five mile run, PT test, the Malvestee Pit, which is like, just like, it was just miserable.

00:17:06.000 And at the end of that, you do a 20 mile, they call it the March of Unknown.

00:17:10.000 It's like sort of a March of Unknown distance.

00:17:12.000 You just march to Darby, but the reality is they just march you forever.

00:17:16.000 Yeah.

00:17:17.000 And you arrive, I mean, it's funny because like, I think that what that teaches you is that you march until you're done.

00:17:23.000 Like a lot of people will be like, okay, we're going to be done at 10 miles.

00:17:26.000 Oh no, we're not.

00:17:27.000 Oh, it's just one more mile and we'll be done at 15 miles.

00:17:29.000 They're not going to march us past 15 miles.

00:17:31.000 Yeah.

00:17:31.000 And then you get to 15 miles and you go to 16 miles.

00:17:33.000 And so you'd be surprised how your mind plays tricks on you and people just quit when they don't know when you're going to finish.

00:17:39.000 And I think what that teaches you is you just go until the mission is complete.

00:17:44.000 And so I think at the end of ranger assessment phase, I think we marched 20 miles into Darby where you do all the patrols.

00:17:49.000 But anyway, by the end of ranger school, people are so tired and so starving that they hallucinate.

00:17:56.000 You see people in the middle of the night, like trying to like buy cans of pop from trees and stuff.

00:18:01.000 And like, it's crazy, man.

00:18:03.000 But I made it through that 160 pounds.

00:18:06.000 And went up to the Fort Drum, the 10th Mountain Division in Watertown, New York and spent six and a half years in the military.

00:18:12.000 I think four or five up at Fort Drum and 485 days, 16 months of heavy combat along the Afghan-Pakistan border.

00:18:19.000 Wow.

00:18:20.000 Where our mission in 2006 was find Osama Bin Laden.

00:18:24.000 That was it.

00:18:25.000 We looked for him for 16 months.

00:18:26.000 We didn't find him, but we found we found a lot of bad guys, a lot of bad guys.

00:18:31.000 In fact, thousands of enemy troops.

00:18:34.000 And we fought against a global jihadist all star team of whether it was a Connie Network troops, Al Qaeda, Taliban, Hekmatyar.

00:18:42.000 We were, we fought against all of them and took an 85% casualty rate.

00:18:48.000 Like I said, and I think we killed 350 enemy insurgents, but we didn't hurt one single civilian.

00:18:55.000 And we did a lot of good things for the Afghan people, built schools, wells, humanitarian assistance.

00:19:01.000 We really did care a lot about the Afghan people there, but we did.

00:19:04.000 Which is an excellent, I don't want to cut you off though.

00:19:06.000 No, no, of course.

00:19:06.000 But it's a good segue into the COVID bill.

00:19:10.000 Things they're spending money on at a time of crisis.

00:19:12.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:13.000 So, I mean, you mentioned building schools and stuff in Afghanistan.

00:19:16.000 Yeah.

00:19:16.000 Yeah, that's, that's, that is amazing.

00:19:18.000 I have, I have a lot of respect for that.

00:19:20.000 Right now, I wonder why it is.

00:19:22.000 Will we focus on things like that?

00:19:23.000 Well, I mean, this COVID bill, I tried to jump to this a little bit too early in the intro of your show, but, um, I have a lot of issues with this COVID bill on a number of different levels.

00:19:33.000 One of which is a process issue, right?

00:19:35.000 Like the idea that.

00:19:38.000 A 5,300-page bill is given to Congress with, what, three or four hours to read before they actually vote on the bill.

00:19:45.000 I got a huge problem with that, right?

00:19:49.000 I would say we should all have more than a problem with it.

00:19:52.000 They are telling us, screaming in our faces on every TV channel and every newspaper, the system is broken, we know it's broken, and we don't care.

00:20:01.000 Because even AOC and Josh Hawley, I criticized them earlier, and I'll define them in a second, but listen.

00:20:07.000 They both tweeted about how this was awful.

00:20:09.000 They're doing this 5,543 or whatever pages with only a couple hours to read it, and they voted for it.

00:20:15.000 So if you're gonna speak out against it, come on.

00:20:16.000 Vote no like Rand Paul did, like Ted Cruz did, like, you know, I think it was like 65 or more Republicans.

00:20:22.000 Only two Democrats voted no, and it was Tulsi Gabbard and Rashida Tlaib.

00:20:26.000 Now, in their defense, at least they spoke up against it. 0.91

00:20:30.000 Hundreds of other members of Congress voted for a ridiculous, omnibus, $2.3 trillion garbage bill that includes things like this. 0.86

00:20:38.000 This is from the Foundation for Economic Education. 0.91

00:20:39.000 $10 million for gender programs in Pakistan.

00:20:43.000 Wonderful.

00:20:44.000 That's exactly what the American people have been begging for.

00:20:46.000 They've been coming together and rising up these conservative protestors in Oregon.

00:20:50.000 I know what they were really saying.

00:20:52.000 Kate Brown, we want gender diversity programs in Pakistan!

00:20:56.000 $10 million.

00:20:56.000 I know it's not going to change the face of the country.

00:21:01.000 So here's the deal, right?

00:21:03.000 The American people for the better part of a year have gone bankrupt, have seen their small businesses close.

00:21:11.000 In western Pennsylvania, in my district, I've seen food lines every single week.

00:21:15.000 Thousands of people are struggling to put food on the table for their families.

00:21:19.000 The American people are hurting, and optically, this is what you do at a time when the American people are hurting, when they're desperate for relief?

00:21:27.000 Not only do you give them 600 bucks, and by the way, like to anybody that's watching right now, If you take just the $900 billion plus COVID relief, right?

00:21:37.000 And you just do the quick math, 330 million people, that's $2,700 for every man, woman, and child in America, right?

00:21:42.000 They could have given us $2,700.

00:21:45.000 Now, instead of doing that, the government took $2,700 from every man, woman, and child in America and gave you $600 back and said, Merry Christmas.

00:21:56.000 That's unacceptable in every way.

00:21:59.000 It would be like if I robbed you at gunpoint, took your wallet, took all your cash out, and then said, here's 20 bucks.

00:22:06.000 And you went, awesome.

00:22:07.000 Thank you so much.

00:22:08.000 Right.

00:22:09.000 And so to your point of building schools for Afghan children is amazing.

00:22:13.000 Teaching little girls to read in Afghanistan is great because we want to make sure that we shape that next generation, but do it in a different bill.

00:22:19.000 Timing and optics are important.

00:22:21.000 Like, you're looking at 700 million dollars for a sedan, 1.4 billion to the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act, which again, the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act, I don't have a problem with.

00:22:30.000 Really, what it basically is, it funds counterinsurgency in Asia, basically keeps an eye on China.

00:22:35.000 I got no issues with that, but don't.

00:22:38.000 put it in a COVID relief bill. The problem with these omnibus spending bills, right,

00:22:42.000 is that Congress doesn't read them. They don't have enough time to read them. And because our

00:22:46.000 representatives, the people that we send to Washington to do our work for us and look out

00:22:51.000 for us, the people don't know what's in them either. And nobody does. And here's omnibus

00:22:57.000 spending bills only get bigger.

00:22:59.000 They don't get smaller, which is why our debt in the last 10 years has gone from $11 trillion to $27 trillion.

00:23:07.000 Now the debt-to-GDP ratio is a scarier thing.

00:23:11.000 128%, right?

00:23:11.000 Yeah, so we're generating massive debt and we're producing nothing, and that is how you kill economies.

00:23:17.000 That's how you kill economies.

00:23:19.000 This is a national security issue, and this will become probably the greatest leadership challenge of our time.

00:23:29.000 And, you know, I am gravely concerned with with the amount of debt that we're racking up in this

00:23:38.000 country.

00:23:39.000 And bills like this don't help.

00:23:41.000 Trying to explain it to people is it's it's it's it's such a genius move

00:23:46.000 on the part of the criminal mask wearing bandits who just ripped us off

00:23:50.000 to to quote the Babylon Bee. Yeah. Yeah.

00:23:52.000 Because what they've done is, they've found a way to extract the value of labor from the working class in a way they don't notice. 0.90

00:24:00.000 So there's this one guy I know I was arguing with, and he's like, why are they only giving us $600?

00:24:06.000 And I was like, no, they're not giving you $600, brother.

00:24:08.000 They're taking 2700 giving 600 back.

00:24:12.000 And they don't understand.

00:24:12.000 Like, what do you mean?

00:24:13.000 They're writing me a check.

00:24:14.000 I'm getting money.

00:24:15.000 Listen, they've printed 35% of all U.S.

00:24:19.000 dollars in circulation have been printed in the last 10 months.

00:24:24.000 So that's all happening right now.

00:24:26.000 And that dilutes your buying power.

00:24:27.000 It basically is a blanket wage reduction.

00:24:30.000 But it's smart.

00:24:32.000 A working-class person can get $10 an hour.

00:24:34.000 Or, you know, a person barely, depending on how many hours they work, could be at poverty levels.

00:24:38.000 They get $10 an hour, and they're saying, I want $15.

00:24:40.000 I want $15 an hour.

00:24:41.000 And then they do something like this.

00:24:44.000 That $10 an hour can now buy you $7 worth of groceries from the year before, and they don't realize.

00:24:50.000 They think, well, I'm still getting the same rate.

00:24:53.000 I'll tell you this, man.

00:24:54.000 I was shopping on Amazon, and I was buying a tablet.

00:24:58.000 And so I clicked it, and it went into my shopping cart.

00:25:01.000 And then something happened, I forgot about it.

00:25:03.000 A day or so later, I opened up Amazon again, and it said price changes in your cart.

00:25:08.000 The tablet went from $500 to $650.

00:25:11.000 That's the kind of thing I'm talking about.

00:25:13.000 People don't get it.

00:25:14.000 For a working class person, for somebody who's making $10, $15 an hour, that could be another week they have to work.

00:25:20.000 Another week to get the tablet so they could do the job.

00:25:22.000 And if you can't get access to tools like that, I mean, I'll tell you, if you get a good phone, a good smartphone, you can make good YouTube videos, you can start a career, you can start a podcast.

00:25:31.000 If you can get some basic, you know, cheap equipment.

00:25:35.000 I started doing everything I was doing with just a cell phone.

00:25:37.000 Not a very good one either.

00:25:38.000 Just like a basic smartphone.

00:25:40.000 I saved up and I bought it.

00:25:42.000 Imagine if, before I was able to buy it, this crisis happened, and then I go into the store and I'm like, I finally saved up the 300 bucks for the phone, and they go, it's $4.50 now.

00:25:51.000 I would've been like, eh, I guess no phone for me.

00:25:53.000 Then I wouldn't have started livestreaming, then I wouldn't have started building up this company, and then it wouldn't even happen for me.

00:25:57.000 You know what I mean?

00:25:58.000 So, there is a certain degree of having to earn and save to invest in yourself and invest in a business.

00:26:05.000 They're extracting the buying power from the working class. 0.99

00:26:08.000 Rich people are going to be fine.

00:26:09.000 Rich people can buy stocks.

00:26:11.000 I mean, I'm telling you, man, if you bought Amazon stock, if you bought Bitcoin, you're sitting back and you're laughing at all this.

00:26:19.000 Well, I mean, what concerns me is that $600 is, I feel like, insulting.

00:26:27.000 You know, and what's more is that Nancy Pelosi was given a better deal nine, what, six months ago, but sat on it.

00:26:37.000 The Democrats in Congress sat on it, did nothing with it because she wanted to score cheap political points against the president, didn't want to give him an economic win before November 3rd. 0.99

00:26:48.000 So what the Democrats, and look, But come on, Sean.

00:26:51.000 Could you imagine if Donald Trump would have won? 0.92

00:26:54.000 I mean, the nightmare of this Cheeto fascist winning? 0.99

00:26:57.000 The American people gladly forewent this $1200 stimulus package in October because they knew it was for the greater good, right?

00:27:07.000 Defeating Donald Trump.

00:27:10.000 No, no, no, no.

00:27:12.000 You know, I mean, I'm telling you, I see this.

00:27:15.000 I see this pain in Pennsylvania every single day.

00:27:19.000 I mean, these people, I reach out to them.

00:27:21.000 They call me on my cell phone.

00:27:23.000 I'm you know, like I said, I've tried to lead on this issue and be there for them through this time of crisis.

00:27:28.000 And again, not just for Republicans, but for Democrats, too.

00:27:31.000 But to be clear, The Democrats and the House of Representatives sat on COVID relief because they didn't want to give President Trump an economic victory before November 3rd.

00:27:43.000 The reason why that was important, Tim, is they made the political calculation that yes, the American people are going to have to suffer.

00:27:51.000 Even people that are Democrats that will likely vote for us.

00:27:54.000 They're going to have to suffer for the next six months so that we can beat Donald Trump.

00:27:59.000 I find that- And I was joking, of course.

00:28:00.000 I know, I know, I know.

00:28:01.000 Some people might not realize, but think about that.

00:28:05.000 The Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, held the American people hostage.

00:28:10.000 And here's what I love.

00:28:11.000 I love hearing this from these urban leftist types.

00:28:15.000 You know what?

00:28:16.000 I want to try and differentiate between the actual economic left, who do pay attention to politics, and maybe we have disagreements on policy.

00:28:26.000 But there's political commentators.

00:28:27.000 They know a decent amount of their stuff.

00:28:30.000 Maybe we think they don't know as much, or whatever.

00:28:33.000 But you have these like low information resistance type Democrats that they're not particularly politically active.

00:28:40.000 And they're complaining, they're saying, but Nancy Pelosi passed her bill earlier this year and McConnell wouldn't approve of it.

00:28:46.000 And it's like, what was in that bill? 0.78

00:28:49.000 Well, that bill was the same problem we're seeing with this garbage omnibus. 0.98

00:28:53.000 They put a bunch of trash in it, knowing the Republicans could not allow it to pass. 0.93

00:28:58.000 Do you know what the major sticking point in what Nancy Pelosi's bill was? 0.94

00:28:58.000 Well, of course. 0.94

00:29:01.000 She wanted bailouts for poorly run, radical, liberal cities. 0.68

00:29:06.000 But she wanted to get rid of voter ID laws in states. 1.00

00:29:09.000 Well, yeah, that was all crammed in there, too.

00:29:11.000 nonsensical things that we're really filled.

00:29:13.000 What I told people in Pennsylvania and in my district and my opponent at the time was

00:29:18.000 a big proponent of taking taxpayer dollars from the people of Pennsylvania and bailing

00:29:23.000 out a city like Portland that had already defunded their police and let their city burn

00:29:27.000 for six months.

00:29:29.000 It's immoral to take our tax dollars from hardworking people in Western Pennsylvania

00:29:33.000 who are already struggling to bail out poorly run liberal cities.

00:29:37.000 That's the major sticking point.

00:29:38.000 Or how about to fund gender diversity programs in Pakistan?

00:29:43.000 I mean, yes.

00:29:44.000 I mean, so yes, optically, back to the COVID bill, it's an absolute disaster.

00:29:50.000 And my fear is that problems like this are only going to get worse.

00:29:56.000 And the point that I was making before this is that It's looking like, look, I don't know what the future holds.

00:30:02.000 And you know that I'm I'm a supporter of President Trump.

00:30:06.000 I've talked to the president on multiple occasions.

00:30:08.000 I'm always going to fight for the people of this country.

00:30:11.000 I believe in President Trump.

00:30:15.000 And but it's amazing now that some of the more career politicians in Washington They see the writing on the wall.

00:30:26.000 They see President Trump that maybe in January, you know, you've got a guy like Joe Biden that that likely be sworn in as president.

00:30:34.000 Yeah.

00:30:35.000 Did you see with this bill how fast the swamp on both sides of the aisle went back to being the swamp?

00:30:43.000 Oh, yeah.

00:30:44.000 Right.

00:30:44.000 We didn't see irresponsible spending bills like this in the news for four years under President Trump.

00:30:51.000 Don't get me wrong.

00:30:52.000 This is one of the areas where I disagree with the president a lot is his spending.

00:30:56.000 He spends a lot more than I'm comfortable with and so I disagree with him on a lot on deficit spending and things like that.

00:31:01.000 But I would also argue that in the middle of a crisis and a pandemic, once-in-a-hundred-year pandemic, that times like this are precisely meant for deficit spending.

00:31:10.000 But my point is The swamp has gone back to being the swamp in record time.

00:31:15.000 So I remember talking to some family earlier this year and they were saying,

00:31:22.000 you always rag on Democrats. All you do is Democrats this, Democrats that.

00:31:26.000 And I'm like, I criticize Republicans. Admittedly, you do much less than I

00:31:30.000 criticize Democrats. And I'm going to show everybody listening exactly why I am right.

00:31:38.000 I have here from GovTrack.us, H.R.

00:31:41.000 133 Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021, including coronavirus stimulus and relief.

00:31:45.000 We can see in the Senate, Forty-six Democrats vote yay.

00:31:50.000 Two Independents, who caucus with the Democrats, vote yay.

00:31:53.000 Forty-four Republicans vote yay.

00:31:55.000 But what's this?

00:31:56.000 Six Republicans voted nay and two Republicans abstained.

00:32:02.000 At least we have them.

00:32:04.000 And I'll give a shout-out to Rick Scott, Rand Paul, Marsha Blackburn, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Ron Johnson.

00:32:10.000 Now, those politicians are not far from perfect.

00:32:13.000 You can criticize them for a bunch of different things.

00:32:15.000 But at least they have the political willpower to say, I'm not signing this thing!

00:32:18.000 And it gets better, it gets better.

00:32:20.000 We jump over to the House vote, H.R.

00:32:23.000 And once again, we have 128 Republicans, yay.

00:32:23.000 133.

00:32:25.000 230 Democrats, yay.

00:32:26.000 have a hundred and twenty eight Republicans yay 200 230 Democrats yay

00:32:30.000 one independent yay we have 50 Republicans nay rejecting this

00:32:36.000 17 Republicans abstain.

00:32:37.000 Gross spine, guys, say no.

00:32:39.000 And then only two Democrats actually voted against this.

00:32:44.000 Of all of Congress, we ended up with 56 Republicans saying no.

00:32:49.000 And what was the, let's pull this back up and get the abstaining.

00:32:53.000 We had two abstentions, so 19 Republicans abstained from the vote, and only two Democrats.

00:32:59.000 And it was Tulsi Gabbard, who I'm a big fan of and have praised, and Rashida Tlaib, who I've been very critical of, but my respect to her for saying no to this. 0.95

00:33:07.000 I don't know what her reasons were, and each one of these politicians might have a different reason, but ultimately, saying no to this garbage was the right thing. 0.78

00:33:15.000 Well, yeah. 0.59

00:33:15.000 I mean, again, because COVID relief should be for COVID relief. 0.59

00:33:21.000 Yes, exactly.

00:33:22.000 There are lots of... And it should be bigger, and it should be for the American people.

00:33:25.000 Look, I think that we should have done direct payments to the American people.

00:33:30.000 I like $2,400 for people.

00:33:33.000 I think that was President Trump's number in the past.

00:33:35.000 Something that can actually help them pay their bills.

00:33:38.000 What I really liked is the Paytech Protection Program.

00:33:42.000 In fact, before this bill was voted on, the Democrats in the House of Representatives voted against it at least twice, perhaps a third time.

00:33:51.000 extensions of the Paytech protection program, which would simply have extended the program

00:33:56.000 through the end of the year, right? Real simple vote, extend the program through the end of the

00:33:58.000 year and streamline the forgiveness process, right? The Democrats in the House of Representatives

00:34:03.000 voted against that three times. And so I got massive problems with that.

00:34:06.000 Lydia pulled up the story from News WKRG5. Let's watch.

00:34:11.000 What's the date on this?

00:34:12.000 This is from December 22nd.

00:34:15.000 Trump calls on Congress to amend COVID-19 relief bill to increase stimulus checks to 2,000 per person, remove wasteful and unnecessary items.

00:34:23.000 But you see what Rand Paul's response to all this was?

00:34:26.000 If $600,000, why not $1,200,000?

00:34:27.000 If $1,200,000, why not $6,000,000?

00:34:28.000 Why not $10,000,000?

00:34:29.000 Why not $20,000,000?

00:34:30.000 Why not universal basic income?

00:34:32.000 I mean, you could fix this problem tomorrow if you just adopted a more surgical pandemic response.

00:34:39.000 And so I will say that I think the political motivations in blue states and governors like Newsom, Pritzker in Illinois, Cuomo in New York, Wolf in my home state of Pennsylvania, I believe that these second lockdowns are not just because of the coronavirus.

00:34:53.000 I believe that they're making a political calculation and trying to put pressure on Mitch McConnell to bail out, you know, as I mentioned, poorly run liberal states and liberal cities.

00:35:04.000 You know, by locking down the economy more, right?

00:35:08.000 It puts more pressure on small businesses, more pressure on Mr. McConnell to bail, to give him what, to give those governors what they want.

00:35:15.000 I've thought about, you know, we went through the first lockdown, so let's, we'll use this as a segue into the big story that we want to talk about.

00:35:24.000 I remember earlier this year watching videos coming out of China where it's like someone's on a bus and they point the camera out the window and then someone just falls over and it was like watching Shaun of the Dead.

00:35:31.000 I don't know if you guys have seen that movie where he's like riding and he sees the person fall over and he's like looking.

00:35:36.000 We saw a bunch of those videos.

00:35:37.000 It was freaky and what was happening is that people were having respiratory issues from COVID and then just like Earlier in the year, we had a very serious problem.

00:35:45.000 So we all agreed, okay, we're going to lock down for 15 days because we can't stop this thing.

00:35:50.000 I didn't agree with that, by the way.

00:35:51.000 Well, I did.

00:35:52.000 Because the idea was flatten the curve, right?

00:35:57.000 How many people forgot that already?

00:35:58.000 It didn't work.

00:35:59.000 Well, it did work.

00:36:00.000 COVID just went haywire anyway.

00:36:02.000 It went haywire, it came back.

00:36:04.000 And so what happened was we did flatten the curve, and then we had this big flat period, and now it's spiking again, proving it's not going to stop, and we can't just stay locked down forever.

00:36:15.000 So the appropriate response now, I believe, is protect the vulnerable, social distancing, masks, and reopening everything.

00:36:22.000 Let's go back to the very beginning in January.

00:36:28.000 What I saw coming out of China was very concerning to me.

00:36:32.000 And the truth is, I didn't know, nor did anybody else, to include our intelligence community, what we were dealing with in COVID.

00:36:39.000 And I think back then we didn't even have a name for it.

00:36:43.000 And so Tom Cotton and I think I think Tom Cotton and I were the first people in the country to say, we need to ban all travel from China until we can figure this out.

00:36:50.000 And they got mad at Tom.

00:36:52.000 Oh, they got mad at Tom Cotton.

00:36:53.000 They got mad at me.

00:36:54.000 Oh, we're xenophobic.

00:36:54.000 And then I think the president a couple of days later banned travel from China.

00:36:58.000 This was all while impeachment articles of impeachment, by the way, were being delivered from the House to the Senate.

00:37:05.000 And then the president in an address.

00:37:07.000 In fact, I was in Washington, D.C.

00:37:08.000 at the time.

00:37:10.000 And the president banned all travel from Europe.

00:37:12.000 And I remember watching that thinking, Oh, my God, this is serious.

00:37:16.000 He's doing a presidential dress.

00:37:17.000 Banning all travel from Europe is a big deal.

00:37:18.000 And this was at the time where Nancy Pelosi was passing out impeachment pens and telling people

00:37:24.000 to go out in Chinatown and Mayor de Blasio saying, Go see a movie.

00:37:27.000 Come on down to Chinatown.

00:37:29.000 And Joe Biden again, calling calling Donald Trump xenophobic. 0.93

00:37:34.000 A hysterical xenophobic.

00:37:35.000 But I know the media loves to push this fake fact check where they're like, Biden never called Trump xenophobic.

00:37:41.000 To specify, in response to Trump's call for banning travel to China, Joe Biden said, we don't need Donald Trump xenophobia.

00:37:50.000 So it was very clear he was calling Trump a xenophobe in response to this.

00:37:53.000 But the media goes, but he didn't call him that.

00:37:55.000 He said he was... Okay, shut up media. 0.97

00:37:58.000 Yeah, so my point is, is that I was okay with the lockdowns early on precisely because we didn't know enough about the virus.

00:38:06.000 I mean, for God's sake, it could have had a 50% fatality rate.

00:38:08.000 Yeah, we were. And in those instances, just from a strategic pandemic, military response standpoint,

00:38:14.000 when you don't know a whole lot about the pathogen, you want to make sure that you

00:38:17.000 protect people and keep the mice out of it as long as possible until you learn

00:38:19.000 about what this thing can do. My point is, after 15 days to slow the spread, then 30 days to slow

00:38:25.000 the spread, then two months to slow the spread, then six months. The point is, we know a lot more

00:38:30.000 about COVID-19 today than we did in January.

00:38:33.000 We know who it affects.

00:38:34.000 We've got therapeutics.

00:38:36.000 I mean, we've got hydroxychloroquine, by the way.

00:38:36.000 Regeneron.

00:38:40.000 The AMA came back out.

00:38:43.000 Now it's cool because the election's over.

00:38:46.000 Hydroxychloroquine actually worked.

00:38:47.000 The American Medical Association reversed their previous advice on hydroxychloroquine.

00:38:52.000 Amazing.

00:38:53.000 Exactly.

00:38:53.000 And so not only that, now we've got two effective vaccines.

00:38:56.000 And by the way, you know, people that criticize the president's pandemic response, again, does President Trump always say the right thing?

00:39:03.000 No.

00:39:04.000 But this public-private partnership, Project Airbridge, was an unprecedented success.

00:39:12.000 I mean, he delivered personal protective equipment, PPE, at levels that we never thought possible by simply And Fauci said, we're doing a great job.

00:39:21.000 to make them available and he got criticized for not being enough personal protective equipment.

00:39:25.000 Democrats were actually praising him. We had Cuomo and Newsom actually go to the

00:39:29.000 time. Right, right, right, right. At the time. Yes, they were praising him.

00:39:31.000 And Fauci said, we're doing a great job. I don't think anybody could have done anything better.

00:39:36.000 We developed so many ventilators in this country in such a short amount of time that we didn't

00:39:40.000 even come close to using what we created and what we made.

00:39:42.000 We sent them all around the world.

00:39:44.000 Do you remember the hospital ships up in New York City and outside LA?

00:39:47.000 Do you know how many people went on the USS Comfort?

00:39:49.000 Like one patient, right?

00:39:49.000 None, right?

00:39:50.000 And I don't even think it was a COVID patient, right?

00:39:52.000 The Javits Center had like 30% capacity.

00:39:55.000 Yeah, and Operation Warp Speed was an unprecedented success.

00:39:58.000 All of this stuff happened under President Trump's leadership.

00:40:02.000 The development of personal protective equipment, which, by the way, our national stockpile of personal protective equipment was completely depleted under Obama and Joe Biden under the H1N1.

00:40:12.000 Think about this, okay?

00:40:15.000 Donald Trump, I remember getting in a Twitter argument with some leftist and I said, Donald Trump did a good job on COVID.

00:40:22.000 And their only response was, oh my God, are you serious?

00:40:25.000 And I was like, so we had a lefty on the show.

00:40:28.000 And the first thing he brought up was, I understand, like when he was addressing it, there's no metric by which to judge a good job or a bad job because It's one leader, it's one president doing this one thing.

00:40:40.000 You can try and compare it to historical moments or whatever, and you can't do it, right?

00:40:45.000 So I'm like, you're correct.

00:40:46.000 I agree with that.

00:40:47.000 And he goes, and that being said, here's why Trump did a bad job.

00:40:49.000 And I said, well, I think Trump did a good job.

00:40:51.000 It's really about whether you like Trump or don't.

00:40:53.000 That's what it boils down to, is it's Trump's comportment.

00:40:57.000 People, you know, and I will tell you, because we experienced this on the campaign trail, I don't know what it is.

00:41:04.000 I mean, I think when you talk about the president's achievements, whether it's Project Airbridge or Operation Warp Speed or or some of these unprecedented public private partnerships or ventilator production, like all of these things, I mean, what happened in record time?

00:41:20.000 I mean, the fact that we have two vaccines available to people in under a year is is is close to a miracle.

00:41:27.000 It happened under President Trump's leadership.

00:41:29.000 But but people don't people didn't like So Trump is saying right now he will not sign the COVID relief bill unless Americans get $2,000 stimulus checks.

00:41:39.000 But now I want to address one very important thing though.

00:41:43.000 I just don't like I don't I don't think he's doing a good job.

00:41:45.000 So Trump is saying right now he will not sign the COVID relief bill unless Americans get $2,000 stimulus checks.

00:41:51.000 But now I want to address one very important thing though.

00:41:55.000 Here's the bit that I've been doing in the past couple of days.

00:41:58.000 Democrats will come into the House or the Senate and say we're proposing a bill to burn down the House.

00:42:06.000 And they'll like the match.

00:42:08.000 And then Republicans go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:42:11.000 Only burn down the kitchen. 0.99

00:42:13.000 Instead of arguing for reopening the economy and getting people back to work and protecting the vulnerable, Donald Trump is just saying, oh yeah, Democrats, well, I'll one up your leftist policy idea and go even further left than you!

00:42:25.000 Well, this is what the president represents in the Republican Party today, a massive paradigm shift, right?

00:42:34.000 I would argue and contend that over the last 30 years of my life, Republicans have been conditioned to fly the white flag of surrender at any sign of adversity.

00:42:45.000 And I think that's because, you know, the Democrats control every single cultural institution in this country.

00:42:50.000 They control the media, they control Hollywood, they control our education system, and the Republicans You know, are afraid of media criticism should they take a stand.

00:43:00.000 Well, I've never, the president, I have never seen anyone in my life.

00:43:05.000 Now, by the way, you know, the president, again, ran as a Republican, and I think he's a proud Republican, but he resists groupthink on both sides of the aisle like no one I have ever seen before.

00:43:17.000 Well, you know why.

00:43:18.000 And Republicans and Democrats in Washington I don't want to say they don't like him, but he can make enemies on both sides of the aisle, and he does it as a matter of routine.

00:43:28.000 And I have to say, I respect that.

00:43:31.000 Trump's ego is just too big, for better or for worse.

00:43:34.000 He's a billionaire businessman who knows better than these people.

00:43:39.000 So when they come to him and say, here's what I want to do, he goes, I don't want to listen to you.

00:43:42.000 I know what needs to be done.

00:43:43.000 He believes in himself.

00:43:44.000 He's to a fault. 0.99

00:43:46.000 He's arrogant. 1.00

00:43:48.000 He's egotistical. 0.56

00:43:49.000 But that can be good, so that's the negative aspect, but you could also say he's just very, very confident and he's sure of himself.

00:43:55.000 So you've got things to criticize him for, but in the same sense, it works out really well for the American people right now.

00:44:00.000 I actually agree with the stimulus checks, not for what they're doing.

00:44:05.000 Like, if they actually did a $900 billion stimulus package and everyone got $2,700, I would wince, like cringe a little bit.

00:44:13.000 Okay, fine.

00:44:14.000 If that money goes directly to the American people, it's their own buying power being borrowed by themselves.

00:44:20.000 I understand that.

00:44:21.000 Giving it to, you know, art institutions and, you know, prominent universities for, like, academic nonsense, and then tying it into the omnibus stuff, that's when things get out of hand.

00:44:31.000 Well, it muddies the waters for sure.

00:44:33.000 I would say about President Trump, part of being a leader and one of the things that I learned very early on as a young leader in Afghanistan is that as a leader, if you're not upsetting people every now and again, you're not doing your job.

00:44:47.000 And part of the problem in Washington is we elect too many lawyers, too many politicians, and not enough leaders.

00:44:56.000 I disagree with Tulsi Gabbard on a lot of things, on a lot of issues of substance, but I respect her.

00:45:03.000 She came out today, and this is another issue that I have.

00:45:07.000 Members of Congress getting the vaccine before people in high-risk categories really upsets me because there's a philosophy in the military of leaders eat last.

00:45:15.000 Like when you're in the field with your troops as a commander, as a leader, I don't touch food until every single member of my platoon has eaten.

00:45:23.000 And so, you know, Tulsi Gabbard came out today and said, hey, you know, I disagree with elites in our society or

00:45:30.000 even people that are that are that are, you know, what do they call high risk folks that are that are working,

00:45:35.000 getting the vaccine prior to the elderly?

00:45:38.000 Well, I mean, I respect that.

00:45:40.000 I respect that.

00:45:41.000 And so, you know, that's not, that decision from her is probably not going to earn her any points within her political party. 0.68

00:45:47.000 But again, part of being a leader is standing up and doing what you believe in your heart is right, regardless of whether or not you're going to get flack.

00:45:53.000 She's proposing some bills, you know, with all due respect on her way out.

00:45:57.000 She's burning it down. 1.00

00:45:58.000 Yeah.

00:45:58.000 I love it.

00:45:59.000 I mean, it's fairly moderate what she's proposing, but I wanted to segue this into the bigger story we had about the protesters, the conservative protesters, because what my concern is with extended lockdowns, with or without a stimulus check.

00:46:15.000 So Trump comes out and says, we'll do $2,000.

00:46:17.000 And that's going to make a whole lot of people happy.

00:46:20.000 But it's also going to be, it's essentially paying to keep the lockdowns going.

00:46:26.000 Saying, okay, we can lock down because we'll just keep printing money until what, it all becomes worthless?

00:46:32.000 So now we're seeing conservative protesters coming up and doing something, you know, we mentioned this earlier in the show, that's, as far as I can tell, rather unprecedented, at least in this culture war that we've seen over the past several years.

00:46:45.000 First of all, When I started covering... Actually, let me make sure I give you guys the context before I get into this.

00:46:51.000 The Independent reports protesters attack police with pepper spray as they try to storm Oregon Capitol.

00:46:55.000 Stories from a couple days ago.

00:46:57.000 Two people arrested on charges of trespassing and assaulting an officer.

00:47:01.000 It was bear spray.

00:47:02.000 And these were conservatives using bear spray against police while entering the building.

00:47:07.000 They say about 300 members of the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, and other groups arrived at the re-open Oregon rally, calling on Governor Kate Brown to lift pandemic restrictions as lawmakers met in a special session to discuss stimulus and vaccination distribution measures.

00:47:21.000 I've been covering this stuff since 2011.

00:47:24.000 I've been on the ground at protests as a teenager, going down in Chicago to these, you know, anti-Iraq war stuff, anti-Afghan war protests, and just really complaining all the time.

00:47:33.000 And when I started covering Occupy Wall Street, I never saw a conservative protest.

00:47:39.000 You'd see, like, Tea Party stuff.

00:47:40.000 And you know what that was?

00:47:42.000 I went to D.C.

00:47:43.000 once, and I saw a bunch of lawn chairs, and it was a bunch of conservatives and Republicans waving little American flags.

00:47:47.000 And I was like, that's a protest?

00:47:49.000 Well, it was effective for them, for sure.

00:47:49.000 Yeah.

00:47:52.000 They played it smart.

00:47:53.000 They played it better.

00:47:54.000 And meanwhile, Occupy was very physical, you know, nonviolent, civil disobedience, mixed with what they call the diversity of tactics, which really sullied and soured the whole thing.

00:48:02.000 But over the next several years, we started seeing, you know, Proud Boys come out.

00:48:05.000 I remember going to Berkeley and seeing Proud Boys, and it was like, I was like, oh, Proud Boys are out here.

00:48:10.000 Like, they're just like, you know, drinking with Gavin and doing their videos, and now they're on the ground.

00:48:14.000 Now they're actually fighting with Antifa.

00:48:16.000 And...

00:48:17.000 I remember I was in front of Trump Tower and there was a Trump supporter who just regular guy regular clothes and there were protesters and I was talking to him and he said he was a Trump supporter and I said why aren't you protesting?

00:48:27.000 Why aren't you coming out and supporting your president?

00:48:30.000 And this is years ago and he was like oh no no no I can't do anything like that.

00:48:33.000 So I remember the first time I saw it, I think it was in Boston, when I saw a march of Trump supporters chanting, whose streets?

00:48:38.000 Our streets.

00:48:40.000 And I laughed and I'm like, that's what the left says.

00:48:42.000 Now you got conservatives organizing, marching in protests.

00:48:45.000 I'll tell you what I haven't seen.

00:48:47.000 I have seen Antifa throw bricks at cops, throw Molotovs at cops.

00:48:51.000 I've not seen them pepper spray cops.

00:48:53.000 Certainly I think the Molotovs are way worse.

00:48:55.000 But it is fascinating to me.

00:48:57.000 And I'm not saying that in a good way.

00:48:59.000 I'm like, that's crazy.

00:49:01.000 To see conservatives bear spraying cops.

00:49:05.000 Because you gotta really push the line to make a conservative come after a cop.

00:49:09.000 I mean, these are people at this protest.

00:49:11.000 There were a couple people waving thin blue line flags.

00:49:15.000 Clearly in support of police.

00:49:17.000 Now someone there sprays the cops down with bear mace.

00:49:21.000 Because these cops were barring them from a hearing they were legally allowed to enter.

00:49:25.000 So windows got smashed, cops shoved people back, a couple people got arrested.

00:49:29.000 I'll tell you, we do hear in the media a lot fears about what the right will do if they finally feel oppressed and they're going to push back.

00:49:36.000 And I'm like, it's a good point.

00:49:38.000 The problem is they bring it up when no one, no conservative is doing anything.

00:49:41.000 Like Antifa comes out, burns down a whole city and they're like, but they're the good guys.

00:49:45.000 They're fighting, you know, fascism.

00:49:47.000 And conservatives are walking around with little American flags.

00:49:50.000 Now you have the very serious question of, if conservatives have finally said, these officers who are violating the Constitution and keeping us locked down and barring us from a public hearing, if they're no longer on our side, why would we be on their side?

00:50:03.000 And then clash erupts.

00:50:05.000 But also, it's that conservatives over the last year have suffered, just America has suffered, but also conservatives are banned, conservatives are cancelled.

00:50:17.000 For the last four years, they made Conservatives out to be conspiracy theorists.

00:50:22.000 They called us names, deplorables, chumps, you name it. 0.76

00:50:26.000 I mean, every, every conservatives are constantly, I mean, look what, look at 0.92

00:50:30.000 what Antifa did to elderly conservatives who walked out of the Republican

00:50:38.000 national convention and back to their hotels in the last night in Washington,

00:50:41.000 DC, this country has been under attack.

00:50:45.000 Uh, under attack by the radical left for the better part of a year.

00:50:50.000 And conservatives have sat back and done nothing, but take it

00:50:53.000 on the chin every single month.

00:50:55.000 And so I, I'm, I, I'm not saying I, gosh, I would like, I don't like violence.

00:51:01.000 Violence is unacceptable on either side.

00:51:04.000 But we are in the middle of, I think, one of the greatest constitutional crises that we've ever experienced in this country.

00:51:14.000 Conservatives already feel like they don't have a voice.

00:51:17.000 This is what's happening when free speech and the First Amendment is essentially canceled or free speech is suppressed.

00:51:25.000 Bad things happen.

00:51:27.000 And I think that's part of what we're seeing here today.

00:51:31.000 You know, those conservatives in Oregon, when they got in the fight with the cops out there, they were unconstitutionally denied their right to a public hearing.

00:51:41.000 And they're not violent.

00:51:43.000 They're not violent.

00:51:44.000 Some of them got violent. 0.93

00:51:45.000 But it's very different from if a bunch of like Antifa people show up wearing all black, they typically act a fool and they start threats and you say, take off your mask and hoodie and glasses and you can come in the building, I'm fine with that. 0.66

00:51:57.000 If someone wants to protest and come out and yell rabble rabble and they want to wear sunglasses, a mask and a hoodie, that's fine too. 0.99

00:52:02.000 You want to commit a violent act, that's not okay.

00:52:05.000 But what's crazy now is...

00:52:07.000 Antifa fights cops.

00:52:09.000 They fight cops.

00:52:10.000 We got that video.

00:52:10.000 It was out of like Seattle, I think.

00:52:11.000 They threw a Molotov at cops.

00:52:13.000 That was- that's crazy.

00:52:14.000 I mean, they're not just talking about trying to kill the guy.

00:52:16.000 They're trying to- they're talking- when you throw a Molotov at somebody, you're not just trying to commit murder.

00:52:21.000 You want to make sure they suffer the whole way through, and if they survive, they have permanent injuries for the rest of their lives.

00:52:26.000 That's psych- that's psychotic.

00:52:29.000 Now conservatives, who typically have spent the whole year defending the police, they're mad at them.

00:52:35.000 The police need the support of anybody they can get.

00:52:40.000 Especially when, against the wishes of many of the members of the public, they're defunding police.

00:52:45.000 Minnesota, this is hilarious.

00:52:47.000 City council votes to abolish their police department.

00:52:50.000 All of a sudden, crime rates start skyrocketing.

00:52:53.000 Locals start calling their city council members saying, what's happening?

00:52:55.000 Why aren't the police responding to calls anymore?

00:52:57.000 They come into an emergency meeting, okay, we gotta go backwards, we don't wanna do over, it was a mistake, it was a mistake.

00:53:02.000 They're doing it even though people are saying not to.

00:53:05.000 And conservatives the whole time have been saying, back the blue, defend the police, not defund the police.

00:53:10.000 But what happens when the police don't get that support?

00:53:12.000 Because the police are the ones now who are shutting down businesses.

00:53:17.000 During the riots in June, Antifa were destroying small businesses and burning down buildings.

00:53:22.000 Well, now the videos I see in big cities... In big cities.

00:53:25.000 They're Democrat cities, mind you.

00:53:27.000 It's the police doing it.

00:53:28.000 It's the NYPD who stood in front of that bar in Staten Island and basically looked the guy in the face and said, you have no constitutional rights, because we say so, and we'll arrest you if you try and let people into your building.

00:53:41.000 The First Amendment says, peaceably assemble.

00:53:43.000 It doesn't say why.

00:53:44.000 If I want to peaceably assemble to, you know, play marbles or whatever, I'm allowed to do it.

00:53:49.000 If someone says, I'm going to open up my business, I have a right to open it to the public, his constitutional rights publicly assemble.

00:53:55.000 The police barred the building.

00:53:57.000 Who are those cops to violate the Constitution that way? 0.95

00:53:59.000 Well, I mean, this is part of the reason why I say that, you know,

00:54:03.000 the police should not follow unconstitutional orders.

00:54:08.000 And certainly in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we've not experienced, I mean, I've not seen or had

00:54:15.000 experiences like that.

00:54:18.000 In fact, most of the cops that I've come into contact with, they loathe the orders.

00:54:23.000 In fact, we've had some sheriffs come out and say simply, we're not gonna enforce them.

00:54:27.000 Good!

00:54:28.000 The government does not have a right to deny your ability to make a living.

00:54:34.000 The government does not have a right to tell you what you have to wear in your own house.

00:54:38.000 The government doesn't have a right to tell you how many people you can have in your own house.

00:54:43.000 So if you're a police officer and you get a call and maybe a neighbor tells on you, you get a call and you show up to someone's house and they got a couple people in their house, you shouldn't be enforcing unconstitutional orders.

00:54:56.000 And exactly, they're orders.

00:54:58.000 They're not laws.

00:54:59.000 There's no statutory backing to this.

00:55:01.000 It was some governor or mayor just saying, do it.

00:55:05.000 And there are cops who are doing it.

00:55:06.000 And also, can we also just have a conversation about, like, in Pennsylvania, we're locked down again.

00:55:11.000 Governor Wolf locked us down.

00:55:13.000 He shut down restaurants and indoor dining.

00:55:15.000 You know, first of all, there's absolutely no science behind this, right?

00:55:18.000 And you're shutting down restaurants.

00:55:20.000 You know what happens when you shut down restaurants?

00:55:22.000 If anything, we should be opening up more restaurants to allow people to spread out more.

00:55:26.000 But when people can't go out to a restaurant, you know what they do?

00:55:28.000 entertain at home. They go to their friends' houses. They go to their friends' houses.

00:55:31.000 So if you're looking for if you're looking to stop the spread of COVID-19 and you actually

00:55:37.000 look at some of the contract tracing research that said 76% of the spread happens in people's

00:55:41.000 own home, what you're doing by closing restaurants is shunting people back into their own homes,

00:55:47.000 which according to your own research, allows for the spread of COVID-19.

00:55:51.000 Didn't the Supreme Court already rule that, like, the first lockdown in Pennsylvania was... The federal court.

00:55:56.000 The federal court.

00:55:57.000 And then another judge took it up and struck it down.

00:55:59.000 We've got so many experiences with the court systems, but... Let me show you this.

00:56:04.000 From Vox.com, December 10th, Southern California sheriffs are refusing to enforce stay-at-home orders.

00:56:11.000 It's these big blue cities.

00:56:12.000 So this is another reason why I'll always say, the ACAB people are wrong.

00:56:17.000 Somebody commented, so I made a music video in November, and it's called Will the People, you can check it out.

00:56:23.000 But it's about the cycle of authoritainers and violence.

00:56:26.000 And someone commented, it was really funny, they said, you made an entire video showing how the bad guys are the police, and like the people are rising up against them to remove the dictators, and they're always backed by the cops.

00:56:38.000 And I'm like, When you have blue areas, when you have Democrats and the police there don't care about the Constitution, yes, you have a problem.

00:56:49.000 When you have these places in Southern California where the sheriffs uphold the Constitution, when you have places in smaller towns and local cops who uphold the Constitution, the cops are the good guys.

00:57:00.000 The ones protecting you from the despots, from the authoritarians.

00:57:03.000 The greatest hedge against authoritarianism is our Constitution.

00:57:07.000 Our Constitution protects all Americans, is a shield for all Americans against authoritarian government overreach.

00:57:14.000 Listen, this is why... My understanding is most cops swear an oath to uphold the Constitution.

00:57:20.000 Absolutely, and they take it seriously.

00:57:22.000 And when they do, they are literally the good guys.

00:57:25.000 When they don't, they're literally the bad guys.

00:57:27.000 Yeah, police is a verb.

00:57:28.000 Like, if I give you a gun, I'm like, go walk around and make sure no one's out there.

00:57:32.000 You're policing the area.

00:57:33.000 Whether or not you adhere to the constitution has nothing to do with it.

00:57:36.000 Some of those guys did take oaths, and if they're violating them, that's a problem.

00:57:39.000 But anyone can police.

00:57:40.000 Well, it really does come down to cops as the most important group of people.

00:57:45.000 And I'm not saying important as a good or bad thing.

00:57:47.000 The most consequential group of people in this country right now Are cops who are upholding their constitution or breaking it.

00:57:53.000 In New York, we're seeing them break it.

00:57:55.000 And that means people's lives are being destroyed.

00:57:57.000 In areas like Southern California, we're seeing them uphold it, and they're the heroes stopping the fascists.

00:58:04.000 I have no problem calling them, use their own word, against them.

00:58:07.000 These Democrats that feel they have a right to give our taxpayer dollars to massive corporations, to shut everything down by edict, they're fascists.

00:58:16.000 Well, and when you see some of the reporters talking to Governor Wolf, it really is, it would be hysterical if it weren't tragic for these restaurants who are closing in record numbers in the state of Pennsylvania.

00:58:29.000 Reporters asking him, well, why are you closing restaurants?

00:58:33.000 What research are you using?

00:58:34.000 Do you know what he's saying?

00:58:35.000 He's like, well, I can't think of a more dangerous thing than people sitting with masks.

00:58:42.000 But there's no research to support that the spread of COVID-19 is happening in restaurants, especially when restaurants have invested tens of thousands of dollars in taking 50% capacity.

00:58:54.000 People are spread out.

00:58:55.000 They've got plexiglass.

00:58:56.000 or outdoors, all you're effectively doing is taking someone's ability to make a living

00:59:01.000 three weeks before Christmas.

00:59:03.000 It's not just the owners of the restaurants, it's the busboys, it's the cooks, it's the

00:59:07.000 servers.

00:59:08.000 All of these people are going to have not only trouble putting food on the table for

00:59:11.000 their family, but they're going to have issues Christmas for their children, for God's sake.

00:59:17.000 It's really, really frustrating to me.

00:59:19.000 So, I mean, I've stood up in Pennsylvania and I feel like I'm the only one in Pennsylvania saying, restaurants stay open, cops disobey unconstitutional orders.

00:59:26.000 And it's working, except for now, we've got government and health, the health department showing up to restaurants.

00:59:32.000 And inside of one restaurant in Western Pennsylvania, Giovanni's, it's an Italian restaurant, health department came in there and said, well, you're not supposed to be open for in-person dining.

00:59:41.000 And he said, well, I can't make a living if I don't.

00:59:44.000 So they came back the next day, they pulled his health permit and they said, oh, we'll make you a deal.

00:59:47.000 We'll let you do takeout.

00:59:48.000 And he said, I lose money when I do takeout.

00:59:51.000 I'm staying open.

00:59:51.000 He said, well, guess what?

00:59:52.000 We got to shut you down now. 0.64

00:59:53.000 How are they going to do it?

00:59:55.000 Well, he didn't listen.

00:59:56.000 So are they going to send cops in?

00:59:57.000 I don't I look if they do.

00:59:59.000 I don't I don't think I I don't know.

01:00:03.000 I hope that I hope that the cops don't.

01:00:05.000 I hope that they don't comply.

01:00:06.000 I don't think that they will.

01:00:06.000 But but the point is people are starting to push back.

01:00:11.000 And what I said earlier in the program is a government derives power from the consent of

01:00:17.000 The moment we no longer consent, the government has no power to impose any unconstitutional lockdowns.

01:00:22.000 And again, I'll say this again, because there'll be some radical left group that's going to take this out of context and say that I don't care about COVID.

01:00:28.000 I do care about COVID a lot.

01:00:29.000 I think we need to adopt a more surgical pandemic response.

01:00:32.000 I think that we can protect small businesses and protect people's ability to make a living while simultaneously protecting public health.

01:00:37.000 I think we can do both.

01:00:39.000 Not only that, I think at this point, I don't care what the response being offered up is as long as it's not lockdown.

01:00:45.000 You know why?

01:00:46.000 It didn't work.

01:00:46.000 We did the lockdown.

01:00:47.000 The science behind them is dubious at this point.

01:00:50.000 Anybody that's advocating for lockdowns at this point in the game is not looking at the data and not looking at the science.

01:00:55.000 But I'll clarify.

01:00:56.000 The first point of the lockdowns was not to stop everyone from getting COVID.

01:00:59.000 It was to make it so the hospitals could handle the load by spreading it out.

01:01:03.000 That was the goal of the lockdown.

01:01:04.000 We did.

01:01:06.000 Now it's back.

01:01:07.000 We slowed the spread.

01:01:08.000 It came back with a vengeance.

01:01:10.000 We can't just do it again because clearly it's just going to keep coming back.

01:01:13.000 We have to do something else.

01:01:15.000 So my question is though with these protesters, at what point do conservatives I don't know.

01:01:21.000 Escalate, as it were.

01:01:24.000 There's a town called Mossy Brook, in Washington, where the mayor just said, we're exempt from the lockdown.

01:01:30.000 Just by his own decree.

01:01:32.000 And so the city is just normal.

01:01:34.000 Patriot prayer, you know, right-wing groups showed up and they partied.

01:01:38.000 I think, you know, people, what the government is doing is risking the loss of their legitimacy.

01:01:45.000 When you have police in New York and other big cities violating the Constitution, well, then people feel like the government is illegitimate.

01:01:53.000 When you have police officers who defy the elected government, like in Southern California, to defend the Constitution, Then people are gonna start feeling like their elected government is illegitimate.

01:02:04.000 If the Constitution is not being protected, or the governors are trying to rip it apart, then people are gonna lose confidence.

01:02:11.000 At what point do we start seeing small towns and right-wing groups just set up their own checkpoints or whatever and say, you have no power here, to like the cops?

01:02:18.000 When they go hungry.

01:02:19.000 When they start going hungry.

01:02:20.000 God, I hope that never happens.

01:02:22.000 I think we can avoid all of that by simply disobeying the orders, period.

01:02:26.000 The most effective way.

01:02:28.000 Because this is the most important thing.

01:02:29.000 And by the way, Tim, when I say disobey the orders, I'm simply saying restaurants stay open, small businesses stay open.

01:02:34.000 If you want to leave your house and you want to go shopping, then go shopping.

01:02:37.000 Follow CDC guidelines.

01:02:39.000 Wear a mask in the store.

01:02:40.000 If you're somebody that's afraid of COVID, right?

01:02:44.000 Or if you're somebody that has a pre-existing condition, or if you're in a high-risk category, stay home.

01:02:50.000 Order groceries online.

01:02:51.000 Look to your neighbor for help.

01:02:52.000 Maybe they'll go grocery shopping for you, but there are ways that human beings Well, fine.

01:02:57.000 I mean, we'll find a way to be safe and be responsible during all this.

01:03:01.000 But the point that I'm making is I don't think a top down draconian government lockdown is the answer, because, you know, there's that old phrase from Ronald Reagan, like, I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

01:03:14.000 That scares me.

01:03:16.000 I don't want the government's help.

01:03:17.000 I think the vast majority of Americans don't want the government's help.

01:03:19.000 They're loaning out money.

01:03:21.000 So basically, we're taking a loan from the Federal Reserve that we have to pay back at interest just to pay ourselves $600.

01:03:26.000 Your children and your children's children.

01:03:28.000 And so the debt to GDP ratio is 126, you said?

01:03:32.000 128.

01:03:33.000 Once it gets to 130, you mentioned a number.

01:03:34.000 132, you're going to have real, real problems.

01:03:37.000 And what historically do very poor countries with huge militaries do?

01:03:42.000 They don't disband.

01:03:43.000 Invade?

01:03:43.000 Yes.

01:03:46.000 I don't know who we would invade right now, though.

01:03:48.000 Iran.

01:03:49.000 How about Iraq and Afghanistan and Syria and Libya and all that?

01:03:54.000 Yeah, how about it?

01:03:55.000 This is what I'm talking about.

01:03:56.000 Desperation.

01:03:57.000 Iran is the target. 1.00

01:03:59.000 Well, I don't know.

01:04:01.000 I mean, I feel like we racked up a lot of debt in Afghanistan and in Iraq.

01:04:06.000 Iraq more so than Afghanistan. 0.97

01:04:08.000 Who racked the debt up and who benefited from it?

01:04:11.000 Because there are individuals, probably in government, who either just didn't care and voted yes, because they're not going to see this, or there are people who had stock in certain companies and were like, I'll vote for war, fine, whatever.

01:04:22.000 My fear is not about, you know, the United States potentially invading, you know, another country.

01:04:29.000 Although, I mean, I'm always worried about sending our troops into harm's way for a number of different reasons and the potential foreign policy implications that come along with that.

01:04:38.000 I am very, very worried about the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party.

01:04:42.000 Definitely.

01:04:43.000 I'm very, very concerned.

01:04:45.000 Taiwan.

01:04:45.000 If they go in on Taiwan, I mean, what's America going to do?

01:04:48.000 Joe Biden will do nothing.

01:04:51.000 I said, you know, if you end up seeing a Biden presidency, mark my words, I think this is just what I know of China and how they operate.

01:04:58.000 I've been watching them for the last 10 years of my life.

01:05:00.000 I think you'll see China go quiet.

01:05:02.000 And then I think you'll see them invade Taiwan. 0.87

01:05:05.000 And then you're going to that'll be one of them soon.

01:05:07.000 Yes.

01:05:07.000 And so but look, the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated every level of our government.

01:05:15.000 And that is not Sean Parnell on Tim Pool and a conspiracy theory.

01:05:19.000 This is what a Chinese professor said at a Chinese presentation, said that we've got people at every level of the Chinese Communist Party.

01:05:27.000 He even brought up paying Hunter Biden and the Biden family.

01:05:30.000 Couple weeks later you have Eric Swalwell come out with with Fang Fang being compromised by a Chinese spy You had a Chinese spy driving around Dianne Feinstein for 20 years now get this and that no one no one's talked about this I'm gonna talk about on your show for the for the first time a high-level Chinese diplomat met with the Allegheny County Executive, Rich Fitzgerald, in August of 2019.

01:05:51.000 Why is a high-level Chinese official, Communist Party official, meeting with a county executive?

01:06:00.000 And you know how I found that information?

01:06:02.000 On the Chinese Communist Party New York City Consulate website, where they said that in this meeting, oh, Rich Fitzgerald, the Allegheny County Executive, welcomed us with open arms.

01:06:13.000 We said that Wuhan in Pittsburgh are sister cities, and we stand in August of 2019, three months before a pandemic.

01:06:21.000 Wuhan and Pittsburgh are sister cities.

01:06:24.000 What gives an Allegheny County executive the authority to make a declaration like that, number one?

01:06:28.000 Number two, how is it okay for a county executive and local Democratic officials to meet with a senior, a high-level Chinese diplomat to subvert, and by the way, this is on the CCP's website, To subvert the president's trade policy in China and foreign policy in China and stand steadfast in our friendship.

01:06:48.000 Did you see this story that came out just about a week ago?

01:06:52.000 Data leak exposes details of 2 million Chinese Communist Party members.

01:06:55.000 I saw that, yeah.

01:06:56.000 The US and the UK have been infiltrated by members of the Communist Chinese Party, some of these biggest companies, some working for some of these major pharmaceutical companies.

01:07:06.000 So I have to wonder, when I see something like that, when I see Fang Fang, you know, Eric Swalwell allegedly was having relations with this woman, and she helped fundraise for his campaign, my question is why hasn't he resigned already?

01:07:20.000 Why is he on the intel committee?

01:07:21.000 Why isn't he under investigation, having every single communication ripped apart and gone through the fine-tooth comb?

01:07:26.000 And then when I see stories about this guy Fitzgerald you're mentioning now in Allegheny County, oh, it's, it's, you notice this because this is your county, right?

01:07:34.000 Yeah, it's part of my district.

01:07:35.000 You, you, you, you're, this is your, you know, where you live.

01:07:38.000 Look, this is my first foray into politics.

01:07:40.000 You know, I'm, I'm a warfighter, so I'm just starting to notice this stuff now.

01:07:43.000 But think, think about this.

01:07:44.000 Think about how many other counties, how many other districts.

01:07:46.000 A hundred percent.

01:07:47.000 A hundred percent.

01:07:47.000 And then I wonder, you say, what, what gives him the authority?

01:07:50.000 Man, I wonder if all it takes is some hacker, a Chinese communist party member who, you know, hacks into his account, finds his, uh, naughty folder, and then blackmails him with it. 0.85

01:07:50.000 Why does he do it? 0.85

01:08:00.000 They have a meeting and they say, oh, take a look at this image.

01:08:02.000 Well, look, that's part of their playbook.

01:08:04.000 But China knows the game. 0.95

01:08:07.000 The Chinese Communist Party does not want for resources.

01:08:11.000 Part of what they do, part of right out of the Chinese Communist Party playbook, 0.62

01:08:14.000 is putting pressure on local, state, and federal officials that they think that they can get in with.

01:08:21.000 It's bad for all of us.

01:08:22.000 I mean, look, this is a Republican and Democrat problem.

01:08:24.000 Now, I don't think that, I mean, you've got Dianne Feinstein and Eric Swalwell, and then

01:08:29.000 you've got...

01:08:30.000 I, I, I, I technically agree, but I actually kind of disagree with you saying it's a Republican

01:08:35.000 and Democrat problem.

01:08:36.000 It's bad for all of us.

01:08:37.000 It's bad for all of us is what I'm saying.

01:08:38.000 I'm not sure the Democrats care.

01:08:39.000 Well, I mean, look, if the Democrats cared, Eric Swalwell would not be on the intelligence

01:08:44.000 committee.

01:08:46.000 Joe Biden would not be president-elect, or will be on January 6th, or about to be.

01:08:53.000 I mean, look, this is a problem.

01:08:55.000 This is a problem that deserves the attention of every power broker in this country, in the private sector, and every head of every government agency needs to be focused on this now.

01:09:06.000 Too many people are in on the take, man.

01:09:09.000 Look, look, look.

01:09:10.000 It is not hyperbolic to say that Joe Biden is likely compromised by communist Chinese interests.

01:09:19.000 He flew his son on government property, Air Force 2, to China for a $1.5 billion equity deal.

01:09:25.000 Now, I thought it didn't happen.

01:09:26.000 I thought the equity deal fell through, but we had China Uncensored on the show, and they said, no, actually, it did go through, just not the way people think.

01:09:32.000 The negotiations were good.

01:09:33.000 It worked.

01:09:34.000 They got a $5 million interest-free forgivable loan.

01:09:39.000 Joe Biden flew his son to China for a private deal.

01:09:44.000 Joe Biden's involved.

01:09:45.000 Of course.

01:09:46.000 He's the big guy.

01:09:47.000 He's the big guy.

01:09:48.000 But even outside of accusations, right?

01:09:50.000 From these emails.

01:09:51.000 So we have leaked emails.

01:09:52.000 Well, they're not leaked emails.

01:09:53.000 We have the laptop.

01:09:54.000 The emails were published.

01:09:55.000 We have confirmation from Tony Bobulinski, who worked on some of these deals.

01:10:01.000 Get rid of all that stuff.

01:10:02.000 Just say, just say, you know what, okay, you're arguing with your Democrat buddy, say, forget it all.

01:10:06.000 It is not in dispute that Joe Biden took Air Force Two to fly his son to China for private equity deals.

01:10:13.000 Joe Biden used government resources to enrich his family.

01:10:17.000 That is a fact.

01:10:19.000 Not in dispute by anybody.

01:10:22.000 And now this guy's on track to become president.

01:10:24.000 Look, it's concerning.

01:10:26.000 And I would say about, you know, Allegheny County executives, local county executives, it's not uncommon for them to meet with diplomats and welcome them to their cities.

01:10:35.000 But I would say, why are you meeting with our number one geopolitical foe, probably the greatest human rights abuser on the planet?

01:10:42.000 They put people in concentration camps.

01:10:44.000 Their number one goal is to become the lone superpower overtaking the United States of America.

01:10:51.000 Does this not deserve questions from maybe somebody in the media?

01:10:55.000 I used to always be like, why were they so nice to the Nazis in 1930?

01:10:58.000 Why was Hitler man of the year? 0.98

01:11:00.000 Why did Germany host the Olympics?

01:11:03.000 Why was Germany such the love child of the world in the early days when maybe their human rights abuses weren't public knowledge yet? 0.98

01:11:11.000 Peace in our time.

01:11:13.000 Yeah, who said that?

01:11:14.000 Neville Chamberlain?

01:11:15.000 Neville Chamberlain said that.

01:11:16.000 After his appeasement of Hitler? 0.63

01:11:17.000 That was Michael Maus who brought that up on the show, right?

01:11:19.000 Yeah.

01:11:19.000 The saying, peace in our time, was when Neville Chamberlain talked to Hitler, and they were like, he comes back and goes, don't worry, he says he won't attack us.

01:11:26.000 Yeah, they gave him a piece of Czechoslovakia or something?

01:11:29.000 I don't know.

01:11:30.000 Neville Chamberlain gave him a big piece of land and was like, he's not gonna invade anymore, guys.

01:11:34.000 The Sudetenland, I don't remember.

01:11:35.000 Yeah, the idea, the idea that China is our friend that is being you're hearing this in the news from many in the Democrat Party is one of the greatest fallacies of our time.

01:11:47.000 They are not our friend.

01:11:49.000 They do not want to be they want to overtake our country. 1.00

01:11:52.000 They do not want to cooperate with us.

01:11:54.000 Like, look, it's very, very, very concerning.

01:11:58.000 And I'm telling you, every leader in our country needs to focus on this right now.

01:12:02.000 But clearly people like Swalwell I don't think he intentionally took a spy under his wing.

01:12:10.000 He'd resign if he cared.

01:12:11.000 Well, now, yeah, I know.

01:12:13.000 I think if there was enough of a public outcry, he would resign.

01:12:16.000 I don't know if it's that they don't care, or is it that they're just ignorant to the goals, the foreign policy goals of China, or maybe they don't understand.

01:12:22.000 Well, let me say something.

01:12:25.000 I worked for ABC News Univision's Joint Venture Fusion.

01:12:28.000 I worked in the ABC News building.

01:12:30.000 I worked in the Univision building.

01:12:32.000 I worked for Vice.

01:12:34.000 What people think, they think that individuals get bribed to do things.

01:12:38.000 They think that, like, I would go to you and say, hey, I want you to, you know, steal Ian's glasses.

01:12:42.000 Here's ten bucks.

01:12:43.000 Well, that's not how bribes work.

01:12:45.000 That's not how the media works.

01:12:46.000 That's not how political manipulation works.

01:12:47.000 Here's how it works.

01:12:49.000 If you run a company and you want it to be a woke, progressive, or a conservative company, you don't hire a journalist and then say, I'll give you extra money to lie and make fake news.

01:12:58.000 You seek out those who lie and make fake news and say, want a job?

01:13:02.000 And they say, yes, I do.

01:13:03.000 Here's your salary.

01:13:04.000 Do whatever you want, because I already know what you do.

01:13:07.000 Eric Swalwell got help with his political career from Fang Fang. 1.00

01:13:10.000 The Chinese Communist Party finds feckless, ignorant morons and then says, make them win. 1.00

01:13:18.000 How can we make them win? 1.00

01:13:19.000 Why do we have feckless ignorant morons in our government? 1.00

01:13:22.000 Because we are a government of, by, and for the people. 1.00

01:13:24.000 Because it's a popularity vote?

01:13:26.000 Because anybody can run.

01:13:28.000 So what they'll do now is they'll exploit that system in any legal possible way they can, or even illegal.

01:13:35.000 Like we have the Thousand Towns program.

01:13:36.000 These professors are getting huge stacks of cash from China, and they're getting arrested for it because it's illegal.

01:13:42.000 Or they're lying to the government about the money they're getting.

01:13:44.000 China's willing to break the rules, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to exploit our system. 1.00

01:13:48.000 And Fang Fang, the spy who is helping Eric Swalwell get elected, is... Well, that's basically the point.

01:13:56.000 Swalwell probably wouldn't even be in office.

01:13:59.000 I don't know, maybe not.

01:14:01.000 Maybe he would've.

01:14:01.000 That's fine.

01:14:02.000 But either way, he should've resigned the moment the story broke.

01:14:04.000 The moment he hit a briefing, and the FBI came in and said, you were propped up by Chinese spies, even if it were me, I'd walk out and be like, I'm out.

01:14:12.000 I resign.

01:14:13.000 Or at least take him off the intelligence committee so that he doesn't have access to our country's most sensitive

01:14:19.000 secrets.

01:14:20.000 Yeah, that too.

01:14:21.000 Yeah, I mean- But I don't think the Democrats care.

01:14:24.000 Look at- remember Steve King?

01:14:25.000 Remember what happened to him when he tweeted about white nationalism?

01:14:28.000 Yes!

01:14:28.000 He got booted off everything!

01:14:30.000 Every committee!

01:14:31.000 And then he lost the- he got primed.

01:14:32.000 I totally agree.

01:14:33.000 Primary, yes.

01:14:34.000 Because the Republican Party said, we don't want to associate with you and what you're

01:14:37.000 saying, so we want someone else.

01:14:39.000 That was the Republican Party, because the Republicans, for all of their faults, are

01:14:44.000 still substantially better than Democrats in many ways. 0.98

01:14:47.000 I think both parties are full of crony establishment garbage, but you still have a decent amount 0.95

01:14:51.000 of people in the Republican Party who are willing to say something. 0.99

01:14:52.000 I totally agree with you.

01:14:53.000 I totally agree.

01:14:54.000 They're willing to do something about it.

01:14:55.000 I mean, obviously, I'm a Republican, but yes, I totally agree with you.

01:14:58.000 But again, it's just look at Ilhan Omar comes out and says all that stuff about, you know, Jews in Israel.

01:14:58.000 I totally agree with you.

01:15:04.000 That was like the way I described it was Ilhan Omar was crop dusting antisemitism.

01:15:08.000 You know what crop dusting is?

01:15:09.000 The plane comes down, gets real close to the ground, but doesn't touch it.

01:15:13.000 The things Ilhan Omar said weren't overtly antisemitic, but people were like, you said reading into it.

01:15:18.000 But hold on.

01:15:19.000 You said three things.

01:15:20.000 It's like if you said one thing, we'd be like, oh, that's weird.

01:15:23.000 Second time we go, it's kind of weird.

01:15:25.000 Third time's like, OK, that's on purpose, right?

01:15:27.000 But all that happened was Nancy Pelosi said we want to condemn all bigotry and no penalties, no censure, no punishment. 0.84

01:15:33.000 Just we condemn bigotry.

01:15:34.000 Have a nice day, everybody.

01:15:35.000 Steve King tweets once and they kick him out of the party.

01:15:38.000 He's gone.

01:15:39.000 He loses.

01:15:40.000 Yeah.

01:15:40.000 Bye bye.

01:15:41.000 I know.

01:15:41.000 And so Democrats don't do it.

01:15:43.000 And Eric Swalwell still sits on the Intelligence Committee, even though he was compromised for years by a Chinese spy.

01:15:52.000 You know, it's funny.

01:15:54.000 There was a meme where they were like, the Chinese Communist Party is sending beautiful young women to basically get in bed, literally, with up-and-coming stars, politicians, personalities.

01:16:06.000 And so now it's like, if you are... What did someone say?

01:16:09.000 They say, if you're a 2 and she's a 10, you probably should... You gotta ask some questions there, buddy.

01:16:14.000 She's probably a spy. 1.00

01:16:14.000 She's probably a spy! 1.00

01:16:16.000 Something's not right, huh?

01:16:18.000 Can we get Swatwile out of the committee? 0.97

01:16:20.000 Impeach him.

01:16:23.000 The only way he gets removed from the committee is Nancy Pelosi removes him from the committee.

01:16:27.000 You know what, man?

01:16:28.000 Have you seen what's going on with the force the vote thing on the progressive left?

01:16:32.000 I have seen this, although I don't know enough about it to discuss it in any depth.

01:16:36.000 I have seen it.

01:16:37.000 I read a little bit about it just today.

01:16:39.000 This is why I think... I'll tell you another reason why I don't like the Democrats.

01:16:42.000 After everything we've just explained about kicking people out of the party and booting them off their committees, You have Ocasio-Cortez and the progressive Democrats in the Democratic Party.

01:16:55.000 Because the Republicans gained so many seats, they now have the leverage to force a vote on basically anything they want.

01:17:02.000 I think they're within five votes of the majority, right?

01:17:04.000 Like, it's like, the House is very, very... Yeah, I think the Democrats have a six or seven seat majority right now.

01:17:09.000 Which means, if the progressives went to Nancy Pelosi and said, unless you give us a floor vote on these issues, we will not vote for you for Speaker.

01:17:18.000 In which case, the Republicans could gain control, to a certain degree.

01:17:22.000 They're still the minority party.

01:17:23.000 Oh, for sure!

01:17:24.000 So, you have Jimmy Dore, who is, he's progressive, but he's populist, and I think he's a good dude, and he said, You were elected to do this.

01:17:32.000 Do it now.

01:17:33.000 They won't do it.

01:17:34.000 They won't challenge Nancy Pelosi.

01:17:36.000 Nancy Pelosi, in her weakest position yet, wants to be re-elected Speaker, and they have the leverage to say no to her, and they won't do it.

01:17:43.000 They won't.

01:17:44.000 No.

01:17:44.000 Because, look, say what you will about Nancy Pelosi, but she's shrewd.

01:17:48.000 She's a ruthless politician. 1.00

01:17:51.000 She knows the game.

01:17:52.000 She's been in Washington for a long time.

01:17:54.000 She's got a lot of money. 1.00

01:17:55.000 She's got a lot of money in her SuperPAC, and she can single-handedly funnel millions of dollars, which happened in my race, by the way. 1.00

01:18:05.000 She funneled $1.2 million of dark SuperPAC money into PA17 against me.

01:18:13.000 I would argue that it didn't work.

01:18:16.000 Maybe it worked enough.

01:18:18.000 Did the mail-in voting work?

01:18:20.000 No.

01:18:20.000 Well, the mail-in voting worked real well for the Democrats.

01:18:24.000 Oh, so you want to hear the latest on this?

01:18:27.000 Yeah, what's going on?

01:18:28.000 So the last time I was on the show, we talked about how there were 13,000 mystery mail-in ballots that were infused into my race the day after election day.

01:18:35.000 We don't know where they came from.

01:18:37.000 Now, this number of mail-ins, Republican, Democrat, Independent, Other, they're not projections.

01:18:42.000 We know what that number is, and we knew what that number was on election day, and we knew what it was on election night.

01:18:47.000 On election night, there was no honest mathematical path for my opponent to win.

01:18:51.000 Period.

01:18:52.000 End of story.

01:18:53.000 News outlets had called the race.

01:18:55.000 Leader McCarthy called me to congratulate me.

01:18:57.000 Any way you cut it, there was going to be a two percentage point victory for me.

01:19:00.000 Right.

01:19:00.000 It was over.

01:19:01.000 McCarthy called you?

01:19:02.000 At the exact moment that the ballot dumps were happening the day after election day at night.

01:19:06.000 Wow.

01:19:06.000 And so for five weeks we've been asking Allegheny County, Where did these 13,000 ballots come from?

01:19:13.000 They were dropped in two successive dumps.

01:19:15.000 One of 4,000 votes.

01:19:17.000 One of 9,000 votes.

01:19:18.000 They were all for Conor Lamb, Democrat.

01:19:20.000 Almost exclusively for Biden and Lamb.

01:19:23.000 Where did they come from?

01:19:24.000 We've been asking Allegheny County for weeks.

01:19:28.000 We never got a response from Allegheny County.

01:19:31.000 We had a real great reporter in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

01:19:33.000 She asked them, finally got a response in like the first week of December.

01:19:37.000 And you want to know where are these 13,000 ballots?

01:19:40.000 What's the chain of custody?

01:19:41.000 Their answer was, Mr. Parnell had a representative at our facility and signed out at 6.58 p.m.

01:19:49.000 before the work was completed.

01:19:51.000 And I said, that's like, first of all, they didn't answer the question.

01:19:54.000 That's like the police officer saying to a shoplifter, sir, did you steal those groceries?

01:19:58.000 And the shoplifter shrugging his shoulders and saying, well, the cashier was off.

01:20:02.000 Like they didn't answer the question. They're just, they're just brazenly laughing in our faces at

01:20:09.000 And my gosh, we can't even talk about it without your show getting, we can't even talk about any of this stuff without getting banned or disputed on social media.

01:20:18.000 But I'm living this every single day.

01:20:20.000 And look, this isn't about me.

01:20:22.000 Like my God, look, being a representative of the people by and for the people in Congress would have been an honor of a lifetime.

01:20:29.000 I take it seriously.

01:20:31.000 But you know, I had a pretty good life before running for Congress.

01:20:34.000 I take a pretty big pay cut going into Congress.

01:20:36.000 So my point, my point is this, this is not about Conor Lamb and me.

01:20:39.000 This isn't about Joe Biden and Trump.

01:20:41.000 This is about, we talked about the Democrats and the radical left controlling every cultural institution, whether it's the media, entertainment, education, YouTube, social media, big tech.

01:20:51.000 And now, Tim, they control the ballot box.

01:20:54.000 This is a problem.

01:20:56.000 And so we have, we, we've got to work out the kinks in this election.

01:20:59.000 I don't know.

01:21:00.000 It doesn't matter.

01:21:00.000 God, it doesn't matter where the chips fall.

01:21:02.000 And I would even be willing to say, look, 2020 people voted in good faith.

01:21:06.000 Let's keep 2020 as is, but we have to fix and reform the system going forward.

01:21:11.000 Otherwise, no one is going to have faith.

01:21:12.000 And I know where you're going to go with this.

01:21:14.000 Where am I going to go?

01:21:14.000 Because even if we say 2020 was fubar, right?

01:21:18.000 2020 was real messed up.

01:21:20.000 Even if we get a positive ruling from the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court says, yeah, Act 77 is unconstitutional.

01:21:25.000 2020 was jacked up, but fix it going forward.

01:21:27.000 You're going to have 50% of the state of Pennsylvania saying, wait, what?

01:21:31.000 The election in Pennsylvania was unconstitutional and illegal in 2020 and you're forcing me to accept it?

01:21:35.000 Yep.

01:21:36.000 So this is why I say this is a constitutional crisis because even if, so say you say 2020 is messed up, we're moving forward, like deal with it.

01:21:43.000 50% of the people are going to not accept it.

01:21:45.000 But then on the flip side of that, you say Act 77 is unconstitutional and every mail-in ballot that's sent in under that unconstitutional system is getting thrown out.

01:21:53.000 That's also explosive because those people cast their ballots in good faith.

01:21:57.000 We went to the court, Tim, which is precisely how our system of government is designed to help us provide, to help us give a remedy to what we believe is a constitutional crisis.

01:22:08.000 Because we got to have some clarity on this election and every election moving forward and what point... You want to know what I think is going to happen next?

01:22:16.000 Oh, tell me.

01:22:17.000 Tell me.

01:22:17.000 I think Democrats are going to win in Georgia.

01:22:20.000 And then Joe Biden's going to become president.

01:22:23.000 And then they're going to pack the Supreme Court.

01:22:26.000 Maybe, maybe, because you might get like a Manchin Democrat who's like, I refuse to allow this.

01:22:32.000 But the reason why I think they're going to win in Georgia is because what I've often said is Trump's not on the ballot and people don't like the Republican Party.

01:22:40.000 They like Trump and they like the new wave of Trump Republicans.

01:22:44.000 It's a smaller group relative to the political establishment.

01:22:47.000 But the runoff in Georgia is on January 5th.

01:22:50.000 On January 6th, Alex Jones and many others say they're going to be in D.C.

01:22:54.000 with 10 million people.

01:22:56.000 How many people from Georgia are going to pack their bags on the 5th to drive to D.C.?

01:23:00.000 And perhaps not vote in Georgia.

01:23:01.000 Exactly.

01:23:02.000 I know it's concerning for sure that that can't happen, though, Tim.

01:23:05.000 I mean, you're right.

01:23:07.000 Look, let's war game this.

01:23:09.000 If the Democrats win in Georgia, I think, without question, they will try to pack the court.

01:23:14.000 Don't believe me.

01:23:15.000 This isn't what I think.

01:23:16.000 They've said it.

01:23:17.000 They're gonna make two more states. 1.00

01:23:19.000 Would probably be Democrat senators representing those states.

01:23:22.000 What are they gonna do?

01:23:23.000 DC and Puerto Rico?

01:23:23.000 DC and Puerto Rico.

01:23:24.000 They're gonna probably ditch the Electoral College. 1.00

01:23:26.000 Again, don't believe me.

01:23:28.000 They've said it.

01:23:29.000 I think that would require two-thirds ratification.

01:23:31.000 So that, they can't do anything about.

01:23:33.000 They're gonna try to do it.

01:23:34.000 But it won't matter.

01:23:35.000 I don't think...

01:23:37.000 I think they've already changed the rules beyond the electoral college.

01:23:40.000 Yeah, I see what you mean.

01:23:41.000 It won't matter.

01:23:42.000 Yeah, it won't matter.

01:23:42.000 Yeah, look, the fact that they've done universal mail-in voting, they've obliterated the chain of custody for our election system, they've ripped security away from it.

01:23:51.000 Nancy Pelosi wanted to get rid of voter ID. 1.00

01:23:54.000 They want no security in their elections while they scream that we had insecure elections for four years.

01:23:59.000 And listen, every pundit, at least in the state of Pennsylvania, The general sentiment is, well, Democrat in the White House, Republicans pick up seat in the off year, right?

01:24:09.000 That's just always been the historical trend.

01:24:11.000 The party that holds the White House, the opposite party picks up seats that year.

01:24:15.000 But in the state of Pennsylvania, I don't think that people realize the paradigm shift that happened in 2020.

01:24:19.000 There was something called, as part of Act 77, called the automatic opt-in.

01:24:23.000 So during the highest presidential voter turnout in our nation's history, The Democrats sent out something like two plus million mail-in ballots.

01:24:31.000 If you got a ballot application and you check the automatic opt-in, you get a ballot sent to you for every election until the day that you die.

01:24:39.000 And if you're a Democrat, probably after that as well.

01:24:41.000 But my point is, You did the idea that all of those people, all of those

01:24:48.000 Democrats are going to get ballots in the off cycle, in the off cycle. Right. So they're feasibly,

01:24:53.000 feasibly, they could have a presidential voter turnout in a mid cycle in the state of Pennsylvania.

01:24:57.000 Which is it. Democrats only get elected with low information voters. And I'm not saying

01:25:03.000 that to disparage your average Democrat voter. But the fact that you've had Democrats talking about

01:25:07.000 lowering the voting age to 16 is all the proof I need to say Democrats survive off of low

01:25:14.000 information voters.

01:25:15.000 People who aren't... So listen, why do they want universal mail-in voting?

01:25:19.000 Well, the left says to make it easier for people to vote.

01:25:23.000 Should someone who has no idea what they're voting for or who they're voting for vote?

01:25:27.000 My personal opinion?

01:25:28.000 No.

01:25:29.000 That's why I don't like, we talked about this quite a bit, getting rid of the Democrat and Republican, getting rid of parties on ballots.

01:25:36.000 Imagine you got a flyer in the mail, or imagine you go to vote, and you see Conor Lamb, Sean Parnell, no Democrat, no Republican, just the names.

01:25:44.000 The only people who are gonna get the votes are the people who are like, I like Sean Parnell or I like Conor Lamb.

01:25:48.000 Now what happens is, you get a ballot in the mail and they go, Democrat.

01:25:50.000 They don't know what they're voting for, they don't know why they're voting for it, and that's what Democrats thrive on.

01:25:55.000 We can't function if people just are saying, I don't know, party, boop, and they're not really voting for anything other than team.

01:26:02.000 Then you end up with people who sell you out to, say, China, and that's what we're headed towards.

01:26:07.000 You know what, man?

01:26:08.000 I think the Democrats, this was their reckless abandon, their desperate attempt to get enough votes to beat Trump by waking many people to politics, getting them as active as possible and angry as possible, and now we're all sitting here watching this relief bill, this ridiculous omnibus spending bill, Everybody basically hates it.

01:26:28.000 Democrats hate it.

01:26:30.000 The leftists hate it. 0.79

01:26:31.000 Trump supporters hate it. 0.94

01:26:31.000 Conservatives hate it. 0.94

01:26:33.000 They're throwing it in our faces and laughing.

01:26:36.000 So at this point, I think the establishment is rather content.

01:26:41.000 Mitch McConnell is already telling other senators not to support Trump on January 6th.

01:26:46.000 You know, don't do it.

01:26:48.000 He's already planning to override Trump's veto.

01:26:52.000 Trump wants to veto the defense spending bill.

01:26:54.000 Well, the Republicans never had his back.

01:26:55.000 They were only forced to have his back because they knew that Trump had the support of the people.

01:27:01.000 Well, let me tell you, man, I think that's a huge... Look, if that's the case, if what you say is true, You know, it'd be a huge mistake for any Republican in the House or the Senate to run away or distance themselves from the president.

01:27:14.000 He is by far the most popular president in our nation's history, period.

01:27:19.000 And no, I don't include Joe Biden in that count because I'm sorry, Look, I don't want to get you in trouble on YouTube or whatever, so I don't believe that he got 80 million votes.

01:27:31.000 The guy never left his basement.

01:27:33.000 He doesn't inspire anybody.

01:27:35.000 He did not have a single message.

01:27:36.000 He can't string together a single coherent sentence.

01:27:39.000 And this idea of widespread voter fraud, I disagree with it.

01:27:43.000 I disagree with it.

01:27:44.000 I think the fraud was very surgical.

01:27:46.000 And if you look at the red waves happened everywhere, except for in areas that, in counties,

01:27:53.000 that Democrats absolutely had to win.

01:27:56.000 It was a zero sum game.

01:27:57.000 Look at John James in Michigan.

01:27:59.000 Look at Derek Van Orden, Navy SEAL in Wisconsin.

01:28:02.000 Those two guys lost.

01:28:04.000 Me and PA17, in the areas that Democrats had to win, in counties that they had to win

01:28:11.000 to carry key battleground states, they won.

01:28:13.000 Red wave everywhere else. 0.91

01:28:16.000 In Allegheny County, the president didn't lose the state of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, right?

01:28:21.000 That's not where he lost.

01:28:22.000 He lost the state of Pennsylvania in Allegheny County, where Joe Biden had the second highest voter turnout ever

01:28:30.000 to Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.

01:28:32.000 But in, and by the way, By the way, Joe Biden got a couple thousand fewer votes than Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.

01:28:37.000 In 1964, Allegheny County was 30% more populous.

01:28:38.000 But in 1964, Allegheny County was 30% more populous.

01:28:42.000 There is a very easy, simple explanation.

01:28:46.000 The media had been screaming, Orange Man bad nonsense.

01:28:51.000 That's correct.

01:28:52.000 And then they launched universal mail-in voting.

01:28:55.000 And so what I was saying was, in the month or two leading up to the election, you're gonna have, this is really funny, I don't know who said this to me, I said, you're gonna have a parent, the mail-in ballots are gonna come into the house, and they're gonna go to their kids who are like, you know, 18, 20, and they're gonna be like, did you vote yet?

01:29:10.000 You gotta vote!

01:29:11.000 You gotta vote for the Democrats!

01:29:12.000 And the kids are like, I don't care, Mom.

01:29:14.000 And then I think it was maybe Michael Malice who said, no, it's gonna be the other way around.

01:29:17.000 The college kids come home and go to their parents and go, we got our belts!

01:29:20.000 You gotta vote!

01:29:21.000 And you gotta vote for the Democrats!

01:29:22.000 And the parents go, sure, fine, whatever.

01:29:24.000 I think one of the reasons why we see many of these votes were just for Biden, nobody else, was because these people don't vote.

01:29:30.000 They were like, orange man, bad, have a nice day.

01:29:33.000 Well, look, a couple things.

01:29:34.000 Like, let's just even say there was no fraud, right?

01:29:39.000 None whatsoever.

01:29:40.000 I still contend... Well, Bill Barr said there was.

01:29:42.000 Well, of course... There was fraud, right?

01:29:47.000 There was.

01:29:47.000 But Bill Barr said not enough to affect the outcome.

01:29:50.000 This was a new statement.

01:29:51.000 Look, my point is, let's just pretend that there was none.

01:29:56.000 This is still not a free and fair election.

01:29:58.000 You had the media parroting non-stop lies about the president every single day.

01:30:04.000 The mainstream media.

01:30:05.000 Most in the media.

01:30:06.000 And then you had big tech censoring stories that would have probably made people switch their vote from Joe Biden to Donald Trump.

01:30:15.000 The Hunter Biden story is a prime example of that.

01:30:16.000 You had the oldest newspaper in the country, right, the New York Post, come out with a story that was perfectly vetted, fact-checked perfectly.

01:30:22.000 You had Tony Bobuliski come out.

01:30:24.000 The media ignored it 100%, like something like 10% of the people who learned about this after the fact said, hey, if they knew about this Hunter Biden story going into November 3rd, they probably would not have Dude, you have secret ballot counting days after the election was done.

01:30:35.000 The alternative itself is enough to switch the outcome of the election.

01:30:39.000 So the Democrats control the cultural institutions.

01:30:42.000 And yeah.

01:30:43.000 And so it's a problem.

01:30:45.000 And now now now with with Act 77 in the mail-in ballots, specifically in Pennsylvania, they

01:30:50.000 control the ballot box to do your secret ballot counting days after the election was done.

01:30:56.000 Oh, November 5th and 6th.

01:30:58.000 They're still counting on this foreign proprietary voter machines. 0.89

01:31:02.000 That's a Canadian. Well, Canadian corporation built this proprietary voting machine that

01:31:07.000 counts in secret.

01:31:08.000 I don't know anything about days after they need to know how many they need.

01:31:11.000 It's insane.

01:31:13.000 The problem with the voting machines is not that they're counting in secret.

01:31:16.000 There's proper tabulation on these things.

01:31:18.000 The problem is that when Trump campaigned and others sued, the lawsuits were thrown out on procedural grounds.

01:31:24.000 It's not that they were proper or improper, it's that we don't know.

01:31:27.000 Well, we don't know anything.

01:31:29.000 I know.

01:31:30.000 There's no transparency.

01:31:32.000 There's a lack of transparency, I should say.

01:31:35.000 In Arizona, when they filed subpoenas for the voting machines to actually get the forensic analysis, you can see the vote counts.

01:31:41.000 You can see the signatures.

01:31:42.000 They're not doing it.

01:31:43.000 Oh, they gave us one?

01:31:45.000 No, they blocked it and they said, we're going to court and we're not going to file the subpoenas.

01:31:49.000 They got subpoenaed and said, F you, we won't listen.

01:31:51.000 And in Georgia, when Trump said, we want a hard signature audit, they said no.

01:31:55.000 And they did like these sample audits.

01:31:58.000 So, every single time there's been someone saying, can we look at these machines, it's been a no.

01:32:03.000 And the one time we did, in Antrim County, the report came out saying, widespread, they claimed in this report, there were intentional errors in like 68% to force adjudication so an election official could choose where the vote goes.

01:32:18.000 That's the problem.

01:32:20.000 So yeah, transparency.

01:32:21.000 I would tell you, I'll tell you what happened very simply in the state of Pennsylvania, right?

01:32:27.000 There are all sorts of issues with this election.

01:32:30.000 You're looking at changes that were made in the middle of the game, right?

01:32:33.000 Unconstitutional changes to our election code and to voting in the middle of the game, right?

01:32:38.000 The Secretary of State in the state of Pennsylvania said, we're going to remove the signature verification for ballots.

01:32:43.000 We're going to remove any for mail-in ballots.

01:32:44.000 We're going to remove The postmark requirement for any mail-in ballot.

01:32:48.000 We're going to remove any semblance of a deadline for a mail-in ballot.

01:32:50.000 This was just a few weeks before the election.

01:32:53.000 So my point is, they used COVID to create chaos at the top.

01:32:58.000 They changed the rules at the last minute at the top, right?

01:33:01.000 And then add to that, at the next tier down, you had, you know, what I call Zuckerberg money that was invested in heavily Democratic counties like Allegheny County, I think got $2.2 million.

01:33:13.000 I don't know.

01:33:14.000 It wasn't from Zuckerberg directly, but it was it was from a shell corporation or something like that.

01:33:19.000 You can look it up on on Google right now and find it to pay election judges to boost their salaries, right?

01:33:25.000 This is this is all just look it up.

01:33:27.000 I don't think that this is legal, by the way, but I haven't seen lawsuits on it yet.

01:33:30.000 But you bank on it.

01:33:31.000 There will be lawsuits on this where they boosted the salaries of judges of elections.

01:33:35.000 They created remote satellite voting facilities where people could just show up at like an ice rink and cast their ballot.

01:33:42.000 And they funded drop boxes.

01:33:44.000 Yeah, and they funded drop boxes.

01:33:46.000 And then they had, and then, and then beyond that, and you had this issue in a Beaver County nursing homes that I've looked at, like granny harvesting, ballot harvesting in nursing homes.

01:33:56.000 You have ballots and issues of ballots of zero chains of custody in PA 17 that were cast, that we had stories and affidavits from people who heard people voting twice, right?

01:34:08.000 They mailed in a ballot and then they voted provisional.

01:34:10.000 I mean, there are all sorts of issues with this.

01:34:12.000 And all I'm saying, right, is that we should look into it.

01:34:16.000 This is the first time that we've used an all-mail-in system or no-excuse absentee system in the state of Pennsylvania.

01:34:23.000 This is the first time it's ever happened in the middle of a once-in-a-hundred-year pandemic.

01:34:28.000 Is it not okay to think critically about this and say, let's look into this a little bit to make sure that everything went as it was supposed to go?

01:34:37.000 Because every ballot that was cast illegally Cancels out a ballot of someone who showed up on election day to vote.

01:34:42.000 There's no political willpower.

01:34:44.000 There's some.

01:34:45.000 Listen, it's like I was saying, the Democrats will come into Congress and propose a bill to burn down the House and Republicans will say, only burn down the kitchen.

01:34:54.000 Instead of arguing, how about we don't burn down the House, they say, well, we'll negotiate with you on what you're asking for.

01:35:00.000 What upsets me is that how is it the responsibility of the citizen to prove these things?

01:35:06.000 Is it not the responsibility of the government to prove to the people that their elections are free and fair?

01:35:11.000 We are the government.

01:35:11.000 Yes!

01:35:12.000 And is it not the responsibility of the media to be a watchdog for the people and ask real questions about them?

01:35:18.000 And this is why I'm pretty pessimistic on where we go next.

01:35:21.000 Because the media in this country is... they're Democrats.

01:35:26.000 That's true.

01:35:27.000 I mean, the overall majority of all of these big media companies are pro-Democrat.

01:35:32.000 They would not report on Hunter Biden, even though it's probably one of the biggest stories

01:35:36.000 of the decade or longer.

01:35:39.000 And so they're not watchdogs, they're advocates.

01:35:41.000 And so you have advocates and we are headed towards California style one party rule.

01:35:46.000 You know what I love about California?

01:35:49.000 A year or so ago, probably two years ago, I was reporting on the rise of medieval diseases

01:35:53.000 in California because their government has failed.

01:35:58.000 And it's basically Democrat supermajority in all of these big cities.

01:36:02.000 And they saw a bubonic plague and like typhus, all of that happening just before COVID happened.

01:36:10.000 They were the worst prepared place.

01:36:12.000 Their policies were failures.

01:36:14.000 And you look at New York, which was the worst affected.

01:36:16.000 And once again, Democrat controlled.

01:36:18.000 So.

01:36:18.000 I would think it's not Democrat.

01:36:20.000 It's a corporatist issue.

01:36:22.000 They're corporatists masked with that Democrat phrase.

01:36:25.000 Of course.

01:36:26.000 They chose to ally with that party for the moment.

01:36:28.000 They're cronies.

01:36:30.000 And it's Republicans, too.

01:36:31.000 It's just that when Trump came into the Republican Party, some people sided with him and new people have now gotten elected and would have been someone like yourself.

01:36:40.000 A lot of the new Republicans that are coming in are good, regular people and supporters of the president and the working class individuals, populists, I suppose.

01:36:48.000 But there's too many, I mean the Democratic Party is almost exclusively like crony corporate types and the Republican Party is a lot of them.

01:36:56.000 So I don't know, I don't know how you change that.

01:36:58.000 We gotta work outside the system.

01:37:00.000 There's no fixing that system from within.

01:37:02.000 We need an external blockchain voting system that goes in tandem.

01:37:07.000 Something that works in tandem with the broken system so that you can outshine it.

01:37:12.000 I see what you're saying, but listen, I just had to explain to somebody how the government printing 35% of all U.S.

01:37:18.000 dollars in 10 months was taking away their buying power.

01:37:20.000 I'll tell you what's civil disobedience, not paying that debt back.

01:37:23.000 Let me finish.

01:37:24.000 They don't understand what that means.

01:37:27.000 And the little response is, what do you mean?

01:37:29.000 The government's giving me $600.

01:37:31.000 These people who are voting, Who are being given mail-in ballots universally, just appearing in their mailbox.

01:37:37.000 They're going, oh, I get, I get $600.

01:37:39.000 You're using an anecdotal argument. 1.00

01:37:41.000 You know, some stupid people. 1.00

01:37:43.000 That doesn't mean we can't work outside the system. 1.00

01:37:45.000 What are you talking about?

01:37:45.000 That is nothing.

01:37:46.000 You're saying this anecdotal idiot. 1.00

01:37:47.000 That's like, oh, I got 600, bro. 1.00

01:37:49.000 That means that everyone, they're too stupid to create a new system. 1.00

01:37:52.000 I don't think that's true. 1.00

01:37:52.000 You think people understand that the lockdown is destroying their buying power and transferring their wealth to the wealthy? 1.00

01:37:58.000 I think they're capable of understanding that.

01:37:59.000 Yeah.

01:38:00.000 Yes, and so the problem right now is you creating a voting system won't change the fact that people don't understand how they are getting ripped off by crony fake representatives.

01:38:10.000 I'm not trying to solve the problem of people getting ripped off with the new voting system.

01:38:13.000 There are different problems we're talking about right now.

01:38:15.000 Because we need something that's transparent when we're talking about voting and how to fix the system so people like Sean can actually run for office and win.

01:38:15.000 Then why did you bring it up?

01:38:22.000 Right, so instead of you changing the subject, I was talking about the fact that we have universal mail-in voting corrupting the system by putting votes into the hands of people who have not been properly informed and educated because the media class is controlled by the Democratic Party.

01:38:35.000 So instead of being told, here's why you should vote for this, if you like this, this is for you, if you like this, this is for you, they're saying, this person's a fascist, you have to vote for this.

01:38:43.000 Well, I like your idea of taking R&D off, but I don't think you can ever stop, you know, manipulation, media manipulation.

01:38:46.000 for four years about the evil Cheeto dictator get about in their mailbox and go,

01:38:50.000 yeah Trump is bad I guess. Well I like your idea of taking R&D off but I don't

01:38:54.000 think you can ever stop you know manipulation, media manipulation. We just

01:38:59.000 got to roll with that. Well we the problem is we have a corrupt big tech is

01:39:04.000 the main issue.

01:39:06.000 If we had an honest, censor-free social media, then people would start to get upset with seeing fake news, and then seek out alternatives.

01:39:15.000 You can't do that, because Google will ban you.

01:39:17.000 You can't even talk about some of these lawsuits, because Google will ban you.

01:39:21.000 I mean, we can't even say, I can't even say words in a certain sequence for YouTube.

01:39:26.000 I know, it's hilarious.

01:39:27.000 Well, I mean, and the thing is, is that these aren't, this isn't like just me speculating, like, you know, release the crack.

01:39:33.000 You're involved in a lawsuit.

01:39:35.000 I'm seeing it.

01:39:36.000 I'm involved in a lawsuit.

01:39:37.000 I'm seeing it firsthand.

01:39:38.000 This is not just me, and this is not This is not about me winning an election or Trump winning an election.

01:39:45.000 This is about Democrats and Republicans having faith in the system.

01:39:48.000 And, you know, Democrats right now, I mean, I find it funny when a lot of like establishment Democrats or, well, everybody basically in the state of Pennsylvania from the governor to the attorney general to the They all attack me now, but they attack me as if I'm a Republican, and what I'm doing is for the benefit of the Republican Party.

01:40:05.000 No, that's not true.

01:40:06.000 But it works.

01:40:07.000 No, it doesn't matter.

01:40:08.000 The thing is for me is that I'm actually fighting for Democrats too now, because they might find themselves on the receiving end of unconstitutional mandates from a Republican governor someday that they might not like very much.

01:40:08.000 It works.

01:40:21.000 I think we really got to get rid of party lists on ballots.

01:40:24.000 I think that would be a big first step to solving this.

01:40:27.000 If somebody goes in, if they get a ballot, they might know Trump is bad so they might not vote for him, right?

01:40:32.000 But if they get a ballot that says Conor Lamb, Sean Parnell, and they don't know who you are, then what do they vote for?

01:40:38.000 Right now people are voting on party lines and that's the problem because you end up, if you do that over a long enough period of time, We just had a transgender Satanist anarchist win the Republican primary in New Hampshire for sheriff because people just saw the Republican and voted for her. 0.54

01:40:53.000 And once they found out who they voted for, they freaked out.

01:40:56.000 Like, I can't believe I voted for this.

01:40:57.000 And it was like, that's interesting.

01:40:59.000 That's your fault.

01:40:59.000 I didn't, I heard something.

01:41:01.000 I saw something about that, but yeah, that's interesting.

01:41:03.000 So I think we need that.

01:41:07.000 Getting rid of parties will be a good step, because people might just go and... I guess the problem there is, people might just vote for the first name.

01:41:13.000 You know, they might... And then, you know, whatever's on the ballot.

01:41:15.000 So we have to figure out... It's tough.

01:41:17.000 It really is.

01:41:18.000 Well... I don't... Look, I'll tell you this.

01:41:19.000 I don't know... I don't know if solution's the problem, but, um... I'm... I'm fairly, fairly pessimistic to the point where I'm going to... I can tell you are!

01:41:26.000 Going to be... Going to be buying a large... Large property in West Virginia.

01:41:31.000 I know.

01:41:32.000 And, uh... You know.

01:41:34.000 Now, to be completely honest, I don't want to make it sound like we're buying this property in West Virginia because we're freaking out and fleeing or anything.

01:41:40.000 We're doing it so that we can have ATVs and film videos and do skateboard jumps and stuff like that.

01:41:45.000 But I don't want to live in a city, that's true.

01:41:47.000 I don't want to be anywhere near these cities right now because of the riots, because of the potential for unrest, and I don't know what's going to happen come January 6th, but people are going to get angry.

01:41:56.000 Look, I don't disagree that we live at a highly divided time.

01:42:02.000 I don't disagree that maybe there are some rough times ahead, but I don't think that... I'm still going to fight like hell for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for this country.

01:42:14.000 I'm still going to fight to represent the people, whether you have a rank as a captain in the military or title of congressman or senator or governor, none of that.

01:42:22.000 Titles don't matter.

01:42:23.000 OK, but fighting for this country and fighting for really our children to make

01:42:28.000 sure that they inherit a country that's rich with opportunity, regardless of

01:42:31.000 their political views, that's worth fighting for for me.

01:42:33.000 And, you know, I'm going to stay in the fight for that reason and that reason

01:42:36.000 alone. Right on.

01:42:38.000 And so I I'm not going to run from it.

01:42:40.000 You know, I'm like I'm like.

01:42:42.000 A week away from painting my face blue and riding a horse on Harrisburg to lift

01:42:48.000 I'm so sick and tired of it because I'm sick and tired of seeing people struggle.

01:42:52.000 I never thought in my whole life that you'd see food lines in my hometown every single week by the thousands before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

01:42:59.000 It's not okay.

01:43:01.000 The government does not have a right to deny your ability to make a living.

01:43:04.000 Dude, in this technology era, where we have access to vertical farms and electricity almost at will, why is there so much poverty?

01:43:12.000 Why is there so much debt owed to the private bank, the Federal Reserve, now?

01:43:16.000 Well, the issue of poverty is that it's relative.

01:43:16.000 Why, why?

01:43:19.000 If you're comparing somebody who makes less than $13,000 a year but has a refrigerator and air conditioning, clean running water, to somebody in like 1900 who was poor, it's dramatically different.

01:43:29.000 That person would be considered very wealthy by those standards.

01:43:32.000 The saying goes that a person living in poverty in the United States today has better dental care than Rockefeller did when he was, you know, the richest guy.

01:43:41.000 But they're in debt?

01:43:43.000 Well, I would say, I would also say that everything that you said is true.

01:43:46.000 Of course, poverty is relative.

01:43:47.000 But I would also say that many of the people that are in these food lines today, We're forced into poverty by their government.

01:43:54.000 And then many of these people who are in food lines today, because Governor Wolf never appropriated, took the appropriated funds to invest in our unemployment system, got shunted into the calcified bureaucracy of our unemployment system in the state of Pennsylvania, were never able to access the unemployment funds for them.

01:44:10.000 So not only were they forced into poverty, by our government in the state of Pennsylvania.

01:44:16.000 They weren't able to access their own benefits because of the government.

01:44:20.000 So now many people find themselves in food lines because of the government.

01:44:24.000 Now I'm just opposed to that.

01:44:26.000 I'm opposed to government intervention in our lives is a bad thing.

01:44:32.000 I think people, if left to their own devices, you know, again, we can protect ourselves from COVID and we can allow people to make a living.

01:44:40.000 People need to be responsible for themselves.

01:44:42.000 But we should go to Super Chats.

01:44:44.000 Before we go to Super Chats, are you going to open my gift?

01:44:44.000 Hey, wait.

01:44:46.000 I am.

01:44:46.000 Right before we go to Super Chats, right now.

01:44:48.000 Oh, I put you on the spot.

01:44:49.000 You don't have to open mine.

01:44:50.000 No, no, no.

01:44:51.000 I was going to do it right before we started Super Chats.

01:44:52.000 You just beat me to it.

01:44:53.000 Okay.

01:44:55.000 Now, he talked about this gift ahead of time, and he listed all these cool things that he thinks it might be, and it was none of those things.

01:45:01.000 And now I'm really worried that you're not going to like any of these things.

01:45:03.000 That's going to be awesome.

01:45:04.000 So, Sean got me a present, I guess.

01:45:06.000 Yeah.

01:45:06.000 Is that a 5,000 pages?

01:45:09.000 I didn't wrap it.

01:45:13.000 I didn't wrap it.

01:45:14.000 Melanie wrapped it because she's like literally the best rapper ever.

01:45:17.000 You said it's something I asked for?

01:45:18.000 Yes, it's something that you asked for.

01:45:19.000 It's gonna be really awful and embarrassing and get a ban from YouTube?

01:45:22.000 No, God, no, no.

01:45:23.000 But it's now I feel like it's going to be totally underwhelming.

01:45:26.000 Let's see the wrapping.

01:45:27.000 I'm sure it's great.

01:45:29.000 But it's not just that this is the box underneath it.

01:45:32.000 So you have to like go like open the box.

01:45:35.000 It's Christmas, everybody.

01:45:37.000 You remind me of Ralphie from The Christmas Story.

01:45:37.000 Yay!

01:45:39.000 Well, I don't want to— There's not going to be a pink bunny suit.

01:45:41.000 No, but there's a label on the front.

01:45:42.000 That's what I'm trying to— Oh, oh.

01:45:44.000 It kind of docks you.

01:45:44.000 Oh, yeah.

01:45:44.000 Yeah.

01:45:47.000 What is this?

01:45:47.000 Oops.

01:45:50.000 Open it up.

01:45:50.000 Oh!

01:45:50.000 This is a pretty good present.

01:45:51.000 Open him up.

01:45:52.000 Open him up.

01:45:52.000 This is a pretty good present we got here.

01:45:55.000 Maybe a little bit self-serving.

01:45:57.000 Oh yes, perfect!

01:45:58.000 But here's the deal.

01:45:59.000 These are all my books.

01:46:02.000 And for the people that are watching, you guys didn't even know that I really wrote books before I came on this show.

01:46:07.000 I don't come onto this program and hawk my product.

01:46:09.000 What's All Out War about?

01:46:11.000 These are all my books.

01:46:13.000 Tim, back me up here.

01:46:15.000 I have never come on the show.

01:46:16.000 I don't hawk a product on your show.

01:46:18.000 Of course not.

01:46:18.000 You know that.

01:46:19.000 You bring me a present.

01:46:20.000 You told me to bring it!

01:46:23.000 I showed up.

01:46:24.000 I come out.

01:46:24.000 You're here and there's a box.

01:46:25.000 I'm like, oh.

01:46:26.000 And you're like, I got a gift for you.

01:46:27.000 I'm like, cool.

01:46:28.000 And then you're like, it's something you asked for.

01:46:29.000 I'm like, great.

01:46:30.000 It is.

01:46:30.000 And then I'm like, I'll open on the show.

01:46:32.000 And you're like, oh, if you want to.

01:46:32.000 I'm like, all right.

01:46:33.000 This was a very clever move.

01:46:34.000 No, it wasn't like that.

01:46:36.000 It wasn't like that.

01:46:37.000 You told me.

01:46:38.000 Look, if I wanted to.

01:46:39.000 Look, if I were going to hawk my book on... I would have brought it the first time.

01:46:43.000 You didn't even know I wrote fiction.

01:46:45.000 I don't talk about this stuff.

01:46:48.000 The last time I was here, you were like, you should bring your books.

01:46:51.000 You should bring your books.

01:46:52.000 So I did.

01:46:54.000 So you got me your books?

01:46:55.000 That's great.

01:46:55.000 Al Batun is my nonfiction book, but these are all my fiction books.

01:46:58.000 And we talk about the left controlling levers of power and cultural institutions.

01:47:02.000 Well, these books, like One True Patriot is my latest book, right?

01:47:07.000 And these books, I write about the threats that we face today, right?

01:47:13.000 So in One True Patriot, this massive cyber attack that penetrated all of our government institutions and the Department of the Army, all five branches of the military, the Office of the President, I wrote about that happening in One True Patriot months ago.

01:47:26.000 So I try to look at like the greatest threats that we face and put them in a story, an accessible story that people can like have fun with.

01:47:34.000 Right?

01:47:35.000 Wow.

01:47:35.000 Yeah.

01:47:35.000 Wow.

01:47:36.000 This is a franchise of books.

01:47:37.000 What's the nonfiction one about?

01:47:40.000 If you like guns and stuff and tech, which I know you do, like there's lots of cool guns in the fiction.

01:47:45.000 Is that one about your platoon?

01:47:46.000 Yeah, this is the book.

01:47:49.000 Outlaw Platoon came out in 2012.

01:47:50.000 I started writing it in 2007.

01:47:53.000 But that book became an instant New York Times bestseller.

01:47:56.000 It was in 10 countries.

01:47:57.000 I think it just came out in China.

01:47:59.000 Is it about your platoon?

01:48:00.000 Yeah, it's about my platoon.

01:48:02.000 Were you guys forced to disobey orders and become outlaws or something?

01:48:07.000 I've gotten that question before, but no, that's just the name of my platoon.

01:48:12.000 That's awesome.

01:48:15.000 I was thinking the power of Tim's audience is kind of amazing.

01:48:20.000 Can you imagine if One True Patriot becomes a bestseller, and I'm already a bestselling author, so I'm not saying this is a thing that I need, but I think that I would make you Oh, good idea.

01:48:32.000 Yes!

01:48:32.000 What's the alpha program?

01:48:33.000 Oh, that's right.

01:48:34.000 That's right.

01:48:34.000 I would. Oh, good idea. I'll make you the bad guy. Yes. I'll make you whatever you want in the next

01:48:40.000 book. You could be you could be in the Alpha program. What's the Alpha program? Oh, well,

01:48:45.000 the Alpha. So I kind of created the Alpha program. Oh, that's right. That's right. You told me about

01:48:48.000 last time. Yeah. So like there was all these times in Afghanistan where we get these missions to go

01:48:51.000 after these targets and like we know exactly where the guy was. Hey, I'm just let's just

01:48:56.000 take my platoon over there. Let's get this guy right now.

01:48:58.000 Like, we can get him, I can see him, he's standing right there, but you have to go through all these layers of bureaucracy before you get clearance.

01:49:03.000 By the time you get clearance, he's gone.

01:49:06.000 So I said, well, what if we developed a program called the Alpha Program that was not That didn't have to adhere to any sort of bureaucracy that gave the president a third option between diplomacy and war.

01:49:16.000 Right.

01:49:16.000 All out war.

01:49:17.000 And in this case, he'd lean on the alphas.

01:49:20.000 Now, we used to have that.

01:49:22.000 We used to have that.

01:49:24.000 So long time ago.

01:49:24.000 Yeah.

01:49:25.000 So the the Alpha program was was created in the wake of the OSS after World War Two.

01:49:31.000 There are nine alphas in the Alpha program, each each assigned to a different geographic area of the globe.

01:49:37.000 Right.

01:49:38.000 And these books follow Eric Steele, who is the youngest alpha part of the program.

01:49:44.000 He's the president's favorite.

01:49:45.000 And so he's like the president's fixer.

01:49:47.000 He sends him into really hot situations to fix global problems.

01:49:53.000 And so it's sort of like a Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn blend of a military political thriller.

01:50:00.000 Now you need video games and movies.

01:50:02.000 Well, before I started running for political office, that's exactly what I was trying to do out there, working with some of these Hollywood producers to make a Netflix series and do all this cool, sexy stuff.

01:50:14.000 Writing stories and fiction is always something I've been passionate about, but I did not do this to hawk this product on your show.

01:50:20.000 I hope you know that.

01:50:23.000 I didn't even mention the fact that I wrote fiction when I first came here.

01:50:25.000 That's true, you did not.

01:50:26.000 Well, now we'll have him chilling and we'll read some superchats.

01:50:28.000 You're actually going to read them?

01:50:28.000 Because I'm going to quiz you.

01:50:30.000 Do it!

01:50:31.000 You're not gonna read them.

01:50:32.000 To be honest?

01:50:33.000 Probably not.

01:50:33.000 You gotta do your book on tape?

01:50:35.000 But listen, listen.

01:50:38.000 We had Alex Jones on the show and he asked me to come on his show and I was like, eh.

01:50:41.000 And people were like, Tim, why won't you just at least lie to people?

01:50:44.000 I'm not gonna do it.

01:50:44.000 I'll tell you right now.

01:50:46.000 The reason why I probably won't read them is because I'm working all the time.

01:50:48.000 Well, I know you work non-stop.

01:50:49.000 You're the hardest worker I know.

01:50:51.000 Have you read them?

01:50:52.000 Done like a book on audiobook?

01:50:54.000 No, I mean, I don't read any of those.

01:50:55.000 Weird, you gotta do audiobooks.

01:50:57.000 I'll probably read Outlaw Platoon for sure.

01:50:58.000 That looks awesome, yeah.

01:50:59.000 Yeah, because this is the kind of stuff, the perspective, the real world stuff.

01:51:04.000 For, you know, fiction and entertainment stuff, For the most part, I'll play some video games in some downtime.

01:51:11.000 If I need to, like, you know, get out.

01:51:12.000 But this is the kind of thing I'll probably, like, read at night.

01:51:15.000 Just because it's, like, actual, real-world conflict, war, and stuff.

01:51:18.000 That's cool.

01:51:19.000 Yeah.

01:51:19.000 Well, that's the important stuff.

01:51:20.000 You asked me to bring them, so I brought them.

01:51:22.000 And they were wrapped up.

01:51:23.000 But I'll tell you this.

01:51:25.000 They will be read absolutely, almost immediately, by people here.

01:51:28.000 Yeah, so Man of War is the first one, All Out War is the second.

01:51:31.000 So they are in order, okay.

01:51:32.000 Yeah, they're all standalone stories, but have the same character.

01:51:34.000 I'm working on book four now, which is all about China, and all about the next level virus that comes. 0.83

01:51:43.000 Like COVID-19 was really just an economic and political weapon.

01:51:45.000 Did you see Songbird, the movie?

01:51:47.000 No.

01:51:47.000 COVID-22 or whatever.

01:51:49.000 Oh God, so I don't call it COVID, because if I ever hear the word COVID one more time, I can't.

01:51:55.000 Well, let's uh, let's read some super chats because we got people who have asked some questions.

01:52:00.000 All right, let's see.

01:52:02.000 What's uh... Student of History says, the cops aren't Praetorian Guard.

01:52:07.000 Praetorian Guard liked offing the Emperor and auctioning the position would be... auctioning the position would be more like mercenaries.

01:52:14.000 Pay the gold and they do whatever you ask regardless of morals.

01:52:16.000 That was the Varangian Guard.

01:52:18.000 That was the Byzantine cadre.

01:52:22.000 Let's see, Talbot Link says, I'm alive today exactly because I disregarded two orders and was proven right while enlisted.

01:52:29.000 All branches have troops that do the same spread around.

01:52:31.000 Interesting.

01:52:32.000 That's it.

01:52:33.000 Did you ever encounter a situation where you had to defy orders?

01:52:36.000 No.

01:52:39.000 No.

01:52:39.000 Do you know anybody who did or?

01:52:41.000 Yes.

01:52:42.000 Yeah.

01:52:42.000 I mean, one of my friends, Dakota Meyer, was awarded the Medal of Honor for it.

01:52:46.000 Whoa, really?

01:52:46.000 What did he do?

01:52:47.000 I've heard of him before.

01:52:48.000 Oh, Dakota Meyer is an amazing guy.

01:52:50.000 I mean, Dakota Meyer, I mean, you read it, just Google and read his story.

01:52:53.000 He won the Medal of Honor in Afghanistan.

01:52:55.000 What's the gist of it?

01:52:57.000 Well, I mean, he ran in and out of fire.

01:52:58.000 Yeah.

01:53:00.000 He ran into a fire to save people's lives like five or six times.

01:53:03.000 He tells the story or not to do it or whatever.

01:53:06.000 Yeah.

01:53:06.000 Yes.

01:53:07.000 He's on Jocko Willink's podcast and explains the whole thing.

01:53:10.000 It's insane.

01:53:11.000 Yeah.

01:53:11.000 About going into the valley.

01:53:12.000 He was on that podcast.

01:53:13.000 I think I don't know what episode he was.

01:53:14.000 He was like, but I was episode 192.

01:53:16.000 I think he was on before that.

01:53:19.000 But I talk about, yeah, Dakota's an amazing guy, but he got awarded the Medal of Honor for disobeying orders.

01:53:24.000 And I mean, I, for the, for the most part, I mean, I had great commanders in Afghanistan and in the field, I was the one issuing commands, you know, as the commander.

01:53:34.000 And so, um, I mean, there, there, there were, I didn't, I didn't encounter any of those situations.

01:53:40.000 Right on.

01:53:40.000 That's good.

01:53:41.000 Wonder Racing LLC says, Sean Parnell, one of the last great American politicians, and he puts it in quotes, left in Western PA and our great state of PA.

01:53:49.000 Keep fighting, Sean.

01:53:50.000 Millions of patriots are behind you.

01:53:51.000 I will.

01:53:52.000 I will keep fighting.

01:53:53.000 I will.

01:53:53.000 You can bank on that.

01:53:55.000 Andrew Lance says, Tim, as a typical Christian voter, all we want from our reps is for them to stop the left at the federal level.

01:54:01.000 We don't want them to invoke intrusive legislation.

01:54:03.000 We want to be left alone from federal government.

01:54:05.000 Your mandatory gun analogy angers me to no end.

01:54:08.000 It's not my analogy.

01:54:08.000 It was actually Michael Malice.

01:54:10.000 And the point was that The left will impose things, but the right doesn't argue on a right-wing argument's terms.

01:54:18.000 So I'm talking about... A better example is the lockdown.

01:54:21.000 The Democratic governors shut everything down, destroy the economy.

01:54:24.000 Republican... Then they'll say, okay, now that we've destroyed everything, you're relying on us and we'll give you a check.

01:54:29.000 Instead of Republicans saying, open everything back up and stop suppressing people's rights, they say, well, hold on, let's give them less money.

01:54:37.000 That's not an argument against what the Democrats have already done.

01:54:40.000 I think a better analogy for the gun thing would be like, you know, Barack Obama says you have to buy health care, otherwise you get fined.

01:54:45.000 It's basically, you know, criminal in some capacity.

01:54:48.000 Then Republicans should have said, okay, if you want that, then you have to pass this bill that says 2A shall not be infringed, period, in any capacity.

01:54:58.000 Something to defend the rights of people.

01:54:59.000 There's never, there's rarely, I should say, arguments from Republicans saying, here's what we are asking for and we want.

01:55:05.000 If what you're saying is true— Until President Trump, right?

01:55:07.000 Right, exactly.

01:55:08.000 Trump does that.

01:55:09.000 You're saying that people want to be left alone from federal government.

01:55:12.000 Okay, where are the Republicans right now putting bills forward saying the federal government, you know, and the government in general shouldn't be locking down and suppressing people's rights?

01:55:21.000 We just don't have it.

01:55:22.000 Did you hear that?

01:55:22.000 I heard that.

01:55:23.000 Yeah.

01:55:24.000 You have it in me.

01:55:25.000 You have it in me.

01:55:25.000 I'm saying it.

01:55:26.000 Well, no, so we have it— You're absolutely right.

01:55:28.000 We have it in Trump.

01:55:29.000 Right?

01:55:30.000 And that's why Trump won.

01:55:31.000 Because finally working class people and conservatives are tired of getting politicians who all they would do is wag the finger at Democrats and then give them what they want.

01:55:40.000 That's right.

01:55:41.000 Someone told me Republicans, what do they do?

01:55:43.000 They roll over for Democrats.

01:55:44.000 That's what they're known for.

01:55:45.000 The established Republicans.

01:55:48.000 A ghost says, system is broken because people only know how to talk, but not how to act.

01:55:53.000 The First Amendment was written when people believed in things like chivalry.

01:55:56.000 Atlas will still shrug.

01:55:58.000 Well, deeds, yeah, he's right.

01:56:00.000 Deeds, not words, right?

01:56:03.000 You know?

01:56:03.000 Yeah.

01:56:05.000 Jack Bailey says, The Bible says that in the last seven years before the rapture, that one of the nations that come about is represented by a lion with eagle's wings, and the eagle's wings shall be plucked, and the lion will stand as a man with a heart.

01:56:20.000 Really?

01:56:21.000 I'll look into it.

01:56:22.000 Paige in PA says, Sean, what are your thoughts on a federal single subject rule similar to that in Article 3, Section 3 of the PA Constitution?

01:56:30.000 Oh my God, really?

01:56:31.000 I have no idea.

01:56:32.000 I don't know how to answer that question.

01:56:34.000 Do you know what Article 3 is?

01:56:35.000 No, I'd have to look at the PA Constitution.

01:56:38.000 I feel like I'm failing this person's question.

01:56:42.000 I am not an attorney.

01:56:45.000 I rely on attorneys to advise me on things, and then I develop my own arguments based on that legal advice.

01:56:50.000 But I am a knuckle-dragging warrior.

01:56:53.000 I'm not an attorney, and I won't even pretend to be one on your show.

01:56:59.000 All right, although I need you ready.

01:57:01.000 You know what you know what though I will get an answer for that.

01:57:04.000 I will get an answer for that question, and Tim, I will get it to you on your next podcast.

01:57:08.000 So I don't know, but I'll tell that person who asked the question.

01:57:13.000 What was the name?

01:57:16.000 Page from PA.

01:57:19.000 Page.

01:57:19.000 I will get an answer for you.

01:57:20.000 I don't know, but I will get an answer.

01:57:21.000 We got a comment from someone who really doesn't like you.

01:57:23.000 You want to hear it?

01:57:24.000 Yes.

01:57:25.000 It's a big super chat, too.

01:57:26.000 He basically said, Leech?

01:57:30.000 at symbol 1k you Parnell so I guess he's saying F you Parnell it's obvious that

01:57:35.000 you're a hack I hope that your quote political career ends up with you 0.99

01:57:38.000 humiliated and exposed as the leech that you apparently are leech what am I 0.98

01:57:42.000 leaching off of I don't know you apparently write books and you're 0.52

01:57:45.000 already doing pretty well for yourself so I get that a lot Yeah, that's right.

01:57:50.000 I mean, yeah, okay.

01:57:53.000 Merry Christmas, dude.

01:57:54.000 All right, let's see.

01:57:59.000 Wandering Mage says, Tim, could you imagine if entire Republican counties decided to become autonomous zones with the declaration that they would not pay federal taxes to protest the nonsense political decisions?

01:58:09.000 What do you think?

01:58:09.000 First super chat.

01:58:11.000 It's very simple.

01:58:12.000 If any large group of people decides to do something, they instantly win.

01:58:18.000 That's exactly right.

01:58:19.000 Government derives its power from the consent of the governed.

01:58:21.000 Yes.

01:58:22.000 So if every single person in the country just went about their lives like normal, there would not be a lockdown because you'd have Cuomo being like, why won't anybody do anything?

01:58:32.000 And no one listens to him. 0.86

01:58:33.000 If nobody listens to Cuomo, he's just a raving lunatic standing on the street corner screaming about how he's supposed to be in power. 0.86

01:58:39.000 If all of these Republican counties said we're autonomous, they would be. 0.57

01:58:43.000 And what's the government going to do?

01:58:45.000 Imagine this.

01:58:45.000 I mean, how many Republican counties are there?

01:58:47.000 Like 3,000 or whatever?

01:58:48.000 Because they're less populated than the Democrat tightly packed ones?

01:58:52.000 What's going to happen?

01:58:53.000 The National Guard going to get deployed?

01:58:54.000 The IRS going to get deployed to all these different places?

01:58:57.000 I'm not saying it's a good thing.

01:58:59.000 I think breaking up this country or civil war or anything like that would result in the U.S. 0.73

01:59:03.000 becoming extremely weakened, and then China's gonna be laughing all the way to subverting and destroying the country faster than they already are. 0.98

01:59:10.000 So, we really, you know, I've heard a lot of people say peaceful divorce, and I get it, because they don't want violence and stuff, but that means we're already in deep trouble.

01:59:18.000 It's only peaceful if both people want it to.

01:59:20.000 I don't want that.

01:59:20.000 I want to preserve this great country.

01:59:23.000 This country is great.

01:59:24.000 And by the way, like, diverse political opinions is also good.

01:59:27.000 Like, discourse and debate is also good.

01:59:29.000 Like, that guy that said F you to me?

01:59:31.000 Okay, that's great.

01:59:32.000 I don't mind that.

01:59:33.000 I can take it.

01:59:34.000 I've put myself out in the public sphere.

01:59:36.000 If people don't like what I have to say, they're more than entitled to say that.

01:59:38.000 But the difference is I won't censor them because I disagree with them.

01:59:42.000 It's crazy how there are a lot of people on the left who insult me for a variety of reasons.

01:59:46.000 It's funny, I get the same.

01:59:49.000 The Young Turks did a segment basically calling me ugly for no reason either.

01:59:54.000 That's how the radical left is.

01:59:56.000 That's what they do.

01:59:58.000 They attack you personally.

02:00:00.000 They attack your personal life.

02:00:01.000 We did a segment where I was citing five different studies that show conservatives tend to be more attractive than liberals.

02:00:10.000 And I was pointing out that a feminist explained this to me as a way to describe privilege. 1.00

02:00:15.000 Somebody who's been attractive their whole life has had an easier go of things, and they think, if it was easy for me, it's easy for you.

02:00:20.000 Not realizing they've had a privilege in their life.

02:00:23.000 The Young Turks decided to run the segment making fun of me and calling me ugly, but then ultimately saying I was correct. 1.00

02:00:30.000 It made no sense.

02:00:31.000 But here's the funny thing.

02:00:32.000 The way they made fun of me is the exact same way the hardcore Trump supporters make fun of me.

02:00:37.000 The thing that matters most?

02:00:38.000 I literally don't care.

02:00:40.000 So I question why the Young Turks would do a weird segment where they agree with me but then mock me.

02:00:44.000 Like, what are you doing?

02:00:46.000 Trump supporters who are making fun of me and calling me ugly or whatever, it's like, okay.

02:00:51.000 What am I going to do about it?

02:00:52.000 Am I supposed to cry?

02:00:52.000 I don't know.

02:00:54.000 Do you get called ugly often?

02:00:54.000 anything about it.

02:00:55.000 You get called ugly often?

02:00:56.000 I don't, I don't see that.

02:00:57.000 I don't think it was, it was, it was the, the, the young Turks. 0.99

02:01:00.000 It was because specifically because I did a segment saying liberals were ugly, I 0.96

02:01:03.000 guess. 0.98

02:01:03.000 Yeah. 0.98

02:01:04.000 And so they wanted to make an issue of it.

02:01:05.000 Yeah.

02:01:06.000 But the point, the ultimate point is.

02:01:08.000 Why do people care so much about it?

02:01:10.000 You know, it's like, you're, you're going to get hate.

02:01:11.000 People are going to, you know, I go on, I can, I, if, if I really want to, you

02:01:15.000 know, just make sure I keep my ego in check, all I got to do is open my Twitter

02:01:17.000 notifications.

02:01:18.000 Yeah.

02:01:18.000 And it's just a string.

02:01:19.000 I know.

02:01:20.000 I was like, do you read it?

02:01:21.000 These Twitter notifications are rough.

02:01:23.000 He's like, dude, if I wanted someone to hire like a, what would you call it?

02:01:26.000 An S and M someone to come whip you with the chain or something. 1.00

02:01:29.000 Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's funny.

02:01:32.000 Mike Jesus to Sean Parnell.

02:01:34.000 Great taste at GNR.

02:01:35.000 I'm wearing the same shirt today.

02:01:37.000 Also, Alex Padilla became the first Latin rep in CA and they're applauding this.

02:01:42.000 Meanwhile, Texas had its first rep in 1916.

02:01:47.000 We got some spicy superchats I can't read, but they're basically saying they, you know, Civil War.

02:01:52.000 Oh, yikes.

02:01:53.000 I mean, they're literally saying it.

02:01:54.000 And that's the issue I'm saying of, like, if conservatives are now spraying down cops with pepper spray, you don't want... Look, it's a quote from Joe Rogan that goes viral all the time.

02:02:05.000 Where he said, the guys who actually know what war is like, and who experienced it, are the ones saying, you don't want this.

02:02:11.000 We'll never advocate for it.

02:02:12.000 Exactly.

02:02:13.000 Exactly.

02:02:14.000 And but in this quote, he says, and it's these, you know, it's like basically Antifa, they're screaming and demanding it.

02:02:20.000 And as soon as they open that floodgates, they're going to regret it.

02:02:22.000 Well, yeah, those who those who've seen the horrors of war almost never advocate for it openly.

02:02:28.000 And by the way, like I've mentioned this before in your podcast, I don't this nation can be saved.

02:02:37.000 And I would I would argue that great leadership can pull us out of this thing, you know.

02:02:45.000 And so, God, I hate to even I hate to even It bothers me that people feel so distraught and hopeless that that's right where their minds are right now.

02:02:54.000 But I'm here on this program saying don't give up hope.

02:02:57.000 Don't lose heart.

02:02:59.000 Stay in the fight.

02:03:00.000 America is worth fighting for.

02:03:03.000 And, you know, let's fight.

02:03:05.000 Fight with me. 0.97

02:03:05.000 Hell, if you're in Pennsylvania, stand with me and fight with me. 0.97

02:03:08.000 Let's see.

02:03:09.000 Army Chief 2005 says, thank you for having this patriot on your show.

02:03:12.000 Uh, what's the third time now?

02:03:14.000 Yeah, I know, man.

02:03:15.000 This is crazy.

02:03:16.000 And I know you're always welcome to come.

02:03:17.000 I didn't even hawk my book until the third time.

02:03:21.000 Christmas!

02:03:22.000 It's a perfect time, actually.

02:03:23.000 You know, you guys should check out his book if it's the kind of stuff you like.

02:03:25.000 It's a business tactic.

02:03:26.000 You jab, jab, right hook.

02:03:28.000 So you just jab a couple times.

02:03:29.000 And if your viewers put one true patriot on the bestseller list, man, you're going to... Where can they buy it?

02:03:35.000 But how do you do that?

02:03:35.000 How do you get on the bestseller list?

02:03:37.000 Oh, oh, so... You gotta sell a lot, right?

02:03:39.000 A couple- a few thousand books.

02:03:40.000 Really?

02:03:41.000 That's it?

02:03:41.000 In a week.

02:03:42.000 That's it!

02:03:42.000 That's a lot!

02:03:43.000 I mean, like, you know, the problem with fiction, the reason why it's so hard to make the bestseller list in fiction is because you're going up against a guy like Stephen King, who has three books at any given time on the bestseller list.

02:03:52.000 Or like, you know, the twelfth Harry Potter one.

02:03:54.000 Yeah, like, so, so yeah, you've got to- So which one, One True Patriot, you said?

02:03:57.000 That's the latest one.

02:03:58.000 That's the one that just came out.

02:03:59.000 If this- because I'm working on the next book now.

02:04:02.000 If your audience gets that book on the bestseller list, I'll put Tim and this entire podcast in the next book.

02:04:09.000 You'll be a main character in all my books moving forward.

02:04:11.000 Have you seen Jack Posobiec's Agent Posobiec?

02:04:15.000 Oh yeah!

02:04:15.000 So I love what he's doing there because, again, it's not just the left.

02:04:19.000 Culture is funny.

02:04:20.000 Yes!

02:04:21.000 Yes.

02:04:21.000 Politics is downstream from culture.

02:04:23.000 Except I, he, so we brought some comics and I pointed to the art of him holding the gun with the weird attachment.

02:04:30.000 That's some kind of suppressor.

02:04:32.000 And he was like, I know, man, like people who, people, people who read this, like they know about guns.

02:04:36.000 I know the people that worked on that Jack is what Jack is, is great.

02:04:39.000 But the people who, who work in, I know that I know the artists who worked on that comic as well.

02:04:43.000 They're total pros, like Marvel and DC veterans.

02:04:46.000 They're good.

02:04:47.000 Yeah.

02:04:47.000 Right on.

02:04:49.000 All right.

02:04:49.000 Let's see what we got here.

02:04:51.000 Sol Invictus says, could not disagree more.

02:04:54.000 He says, violence is necessary because others will choose violence.

02:04:57.000 You have no choice but to retaliate.

02:04:59.000 If you have to do something horrible, do it quickly.

02:05:01.000 Don't force others to suffer.

02:05:03.000 Well, I think the important thing there is defense is acceptable in terms of the violence conversation.

02:05:11.000 Protecting yourself from someone who means to do you harm is legally...

02:05:15.000 I mean, and I would even go, yes.

02:05:18.000 And in Afghanistan, you know, what's so fascinating about this topic is that we never would have fired our weapons in Afghanistan unless we were fired, if we weren't fired on first.

02:05:30.000 The only time we ever shot our weapons is when we were shot at first in Afghanistan.

02:05:33.000 Outside of that, we were driving coloring books to kids and building wells and humanitarian assistance.

02:05:39.000 The problem is, we just got ambushed in direct fire attacks every time we left.

02:05:43.000 I can easily disprove this comment on anyone advocating for violence.

02:05:48.000 It's really simple.

02:05:49.000 It's the reason why China isn't sending boats and planes and storming the beaches and attacking.

02:05:54.000 It's why they're using fifth-generational warfare.

02:05:56.000 Because violence isn't effective, especially in the information age.

02:05:59.000 It makes people not like you.

02:06:01.000 They won't listen to you, and they'll resist you.

02:06:03.000 The most effective thing you can do is win them over through propaganda and media manipulation.

02:06:08.000 That's fifth-generational warfare.

02:06:09.000 Money.

02:06:09.000 Finance.

02:06:10.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:06:11.000 Buy them out.

02:06:12.000 It's easier to give someone money than it is to try and force them to do something.

02:06:12.000 Exactly.

02:06:16.000 It's like, hey, I'll give you a thousand dollars if you do it, and people might just be like, okay.

02:06:20.000 Antithetical?

02:06:20.000 The other thing too is when it comes to what's going on with COVID, violence is

02:06:23.000 totally like, uh, antithetical.

02:06:27.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

02:06:28.000 What I want to say is like, it would have the opposite intended effect.

02:06:31.000 If everybody who's upset with the COVID lockdown just said, okay, I'll go and open

02:06:36.000 my business.

02:06:36.000 There wouldn't be one.

02:06:37.000 It'd be over.

02:06:38.000 Like, it's like, this is what I explained to people when I was little.

02:06:41.000 I'd have a friend and I'd be like, Hey, you want to go skate?

02:06:43.000 He'd be like, I can't, I'm grounded.

02:06:45.000 And I would go, okay, do you wanna go skate?

02:06:47.000 I can't, I'm grounded.

02:06:48.000 I'm like, what does that mean?

02:06:49.000 My parents told me I can't go outside.

02:06:51.000 And I would say to this, what would happen if you go outside?

02:06:53.000 He's like, I'll get grounded again.

02:06:54.000 I'm like, oh, and then what happens when they ground you again?

02:06:57.000 And then you go outside again.

02:06:58.000 And he's like- Well, they walk into your room and they take your TV, they yank it out of the wall, they take all your toys.

02:07:04.000 But now you're comparing the governor of Pennsylvania to parents.

02:07:07.000 No, no, what I'm saying is, If the lockdowns are, like, if you can't open your business because someone said don't open your business, but you could literally walk into your business and open the door, then there's no lockdown.

02:07:19.000 If the kid, if my kids are for some reason watching this, or your daughters are for some reason watching this, If you're grounded, you're grounded.

02:07:28.000 Yeah.

02:07:29.000 Well, so I was like, no one's leaving the house.

02:07:33.000 When I was like 15 and I'm telling my friends, the worst thing that's gonna happen is they're gonna keep

02:07:37.000 telling you can't go outside.

02:07:38.000 But if you're grounded and you can go outside, then grounding you doesn't do anything, does it?

02:07:42.000 If they're telling you you're all locked down, you can't open your business and everyone says,

02:07:46.000 we're gonna open our businesses.

02:07:47.000 They can't do anything about it.

02:07:49.000 But they can come, like, audit you, and take your money out of your bank account.

02:07:52.000 Well, if the individual, they can go after individuals, but if everyone at once does it, the system changes.

02:07:57.000 That's exactly it.

02:07:58.000 If people just said, I'm gonna non-violent civil disobedience.

02:08:01.000 And I think the reason why people don't, and specifically in this regard, is because people want to protect They're fellow citizens, right?

02:08:09.000 But my point is that we can do both responsibly.

02:08:11.000 We can both open up and protect public health.

02:08:15.000 Nuke the ice caps, says, and great name by the way, left and right, now disowning the police.

02:08:21.000 Everybody is absolutely at their breaking point.

02:08:23.000 When we get to this point, we have to ask why.

02:08:26.000 When they will not allow us to ask why.

02:08:27.000 There really isn't a choice.

02:08:29.000 Left is there.

02:08:30.000 Merry X-mas, lady and gentleman.

02:08:32.000 Merry Christmas.

02:08:33.000 Don't lose faith in the police I have and I stand with them.

02:08:36.000 And again, this is a leadership issue.

02:08:39.000 You know, if leaders stood up and said, keep your businesses open, keep your restaurants open, police don't enforce unconstitutional orders, stand with the people, this problem and these lockdowns would be over tomorrow.

02:08:50.000 A lot of people mentioning that right when we started the show, Trump said, F the COVID relief bill.

02:08:54.000 So awesome.

02:08:55.000 Yeah.

02:08:57.000 Did he really say that?

02:08:58.000 Did he really?

02:08:58.000 I mean, it really wouldn't surprise me!

02:09:02.000 Especially at this point.

02:09:03.000 Merry Christmas.

02:09:04.000 Rita Ho says, good job on pronouncing fang fang. 1.00

02:09:07.000 Well, it's because we had China Uncensored and they told us how to pronounce fang fang. 0.81

02:09:10.000 Everyone says fang fang.

02:09:12.000 I think I said fang fang. 0.97

02:09:13.000 Yeah.

02:09:13.000 It rhymes with a different word.

02:09:15.000 Yeah.

02:09:16.000 That's why I went right there.

02:09:17.000 Yeah.

02:09:19.000 The Civic Nationalist says, from the British Empire to the colonies, Merry Christmas, one and all, God save the Queen.

02:09:24.000 To quote the Joker, you get what you effing deserve.

02:09:26.000 Shoulda just paid them taxes. 0.98

02:09:27.000 Hey! 0.99

02:09:28.000 Objection.

02:09:30.000 So here's a joke I made.

02:09:32.000 When you have these electoral candidates for the Republican Party.

02:09:36.000 Hey, wait a second!

02:09:37.000 He said we get what we deserve!

02:09:38.000 Didn't the UK just lock down because of some mutated strain?

02:09:42.000 You're the one missing out on Christmas!

02:09:44.000 Got you, UK!

02:09:47.000 They're expecting food shortages.

02:09:48.000 I know, it's tragic.

02:09:49.000 Because the borders are just shut.

02:09:51.000 That's not good.

02:09:51.000 I know, it's terrible.

02:09:53.000 What have they done?

02:09:53.000 But here's what I said, when people, you had these Republican electoral candidates, so they're not the electoral candidates for the Republican side, cast procedural votes so it's on record in the event Trump overturns some elections.

02:10:06.000 And you have the Democrats saying they're not legitimate votes.

02:10:09.000 And I'm like, sure, I understand.

02:10:11.000 In terms of the constitutional process with the electoral colleges, the votes from these aren't official.

02:10:16.000 And I'm sure When the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, sent it to, you know, to the king, the king looked at it and said, by what authority do any of these people have to say their country is independent?

02:10:28.000 They're not, because it's our country.

02:10:30.000 And that's it.

02:10:31.000 It's all an issue of confidence.

02:10:33.000 I'm certainly not saying the Republican electors are, like, declaring independence or anything like that.

02:10:36.000 What I'm saying is, if right now everybody woke up and they just said the government has no authority, it would have no authority.

02:10:44.000 Now, they could go and try and enforce the law, but if literally, like, I hear a lot of people saying, like, tax strikes, like the left talks about this stuff too.

02:10:52.000 Yeah, if nobody was paying taxes, then there would be no authority, but it's an issue of organizational power, and people pay taxes.

02:10:57.000 I think the issue is, you'll hear people say, everyone should stop paying taxes or whatever, and it's like, yeah, but most people in this country don't care.

02:11:05.000 And they're fine with paying taxes?

02:11:07.000 The problem is these lockdowns are destroying the lives of regular people who are at their breaking point, and now this is where things get, you know, crazy.

02:11:16.000 That's when you got to be worried about what people are going to start doing.

02:11:19.000 All of it could end if we just lifted these unscientific lockdowns.

02:11:23.000 Protect the vulnerable.

02:11:24.000 Yeah.

02:11:24.000 Special protections for nursing homes and for people who have, uh, you know, pre-existing conditions.

02:11:29.000 Absolutely.

02:11:30.000 And also direct resources to those programs as well to protect those people.

02:11:34.000 From a 99.7% recovery rate.

02:11:35.000 99.99% survival rate.

02:11:40.000 This is across the entire globe, every age group, right?

02:11:44.000 The world, the human world locked down, shut down their businesses for a virus with a ninety nine point nine percent.

02:11:51.000 What I say and I say like if and again, I'm going to I'm going to say we should definitely we should take it seriously.

02:11:58.000 We should protect the vulnerable.

02:11:59.000 I've got to say it every single time because I'm telling you, some leftists will take this out of context and attack you with it later.

02:12:04.000 But but if this virus were as bad as some are making it out to be, the government would not have to mandate people stay home.

02:12:13.000 It's often.

02:12:14.000 So this one's this one's funny.

02:12:15.000 Have you guys heard about this new signal that came out of Proxima Centauri?

02:12:19.000 Negative.

02:12:19.000 That was like.

02:12:20.000 So there's something called the Wow signal.

02:12:22.000 It was, you know, we're scanning the space and we have this weird radio signal.

02:12:26.000 Well, another one just happened.

02:12:27.000 We got a super chat.

02:12:28.000 The alien radio signal from Proxima Centauri has been decoded.

02:12:31.000 Sixty thousand mail-in votes for Biden.

02:12:32.000 Oh, OK.

02:12:36.000 Unsurprisingly, it took a few weeks to get here.

02:12:39.000 Mafu says, Type 6 if you're going to DC on January 6th.

02:12:43.000 There will never be a Biden presidency, he says.

02:12:45.000 You know, have you heard about what's going on January 6th?

02:12:48.000 You know, Alex Jones put out a video where he said 10 million people will descend on DC, will occupy DC.

02:12:54.000 I don't know what to say to that.

02:12:55.000 I don't know anything about that.

02:12:57.000 Uh, so it's a big protest plan for the day that the joint session is going to happen.

02:13:01.000 And, um, you know, I've had some people hit me up saying they're going to DC that I don't think are particularly politically active in that sense.

02:13:09.000 So I wonder if there's going to be, I think there's going to be a really massive protest in, uh, in DC on the 6th when the joint session is supposed to happen.

02:13:16.000 We'll see.

02:13:16.000 Yeah, we'll see.

02:13:19.000 Daniel Maxwell says peace requires that all factions involved desire peace.

02:13:23.000 Violence results when one faction chooses to use force to get their way, and war results when one or more of the remaining factions decides to defend themselves.

02:13:30.000 Interesting.

02:13:32.000 Yes.

02:13:35.000 XD Interactive says, D.C.

02:13:36.000 was appropriated for government use.

02:13:38.000 It can't be a state by the Constitution, and that is not an amendment.

02:13:41.000 It can't be changed.

02:13:42.000 At worst, they could give it back to Virginia.

02:13:44.000 That's the thing.

02:13:45.000 When they say make D.C.

02:13:47.000 a state, that makes no sense.

02:13:48.000 The reason why D.C.

02:13:50.000 is federal property is because the federal government operates outside of the states, and the Founding Fathers, or at the time, the Federalists, didn't want one state to have control over the jurisdiction the federal government operated in.

02:14:02.000 I agree.

02:14:03.000 I just think that the left doesn't care about the Constitution.

02:14:06.000 The radical left does not care about the Constitution.

02:14:07.000 Oh, of course.

02:14:08.000 Yeah.

02:14:09.000 TheCaptainZ says, SouthwesternPA here.

02:14:11.000 Green and Washington wouldn't take this stuff, nor are the counties that bear their names.

02:14:16.000 If there is a divorce, do it county by county, not state by state.

02:14:19.000 We have the food, the energy, and the power plants.

02:14:22.000 California actually has a lot of... They also had a team working with them, like Ben Franklin, John Adams, and they were writing documents and new forms of governance so that they could not just destroy the system but create something new.

02:14:38.000 And actually a lot of people don't know this, I could be wrong about this, but there was some inspiration from Native American governance because a lot of them were tribal and they had certain voting processes that the Founding Fathers looked at and were like, we could incorporate that somehow, that's interesting.

02:14:52.000 Eddie Johnson.

02:14:52.000 Oh, we have a correction here.

02:14:53.000 He says it's Mossy Rock, not Mossy Brook.

02:14:56.000 Went to a restaurant to support them and they had customers coming from three or four hours away to support them.

02:15:00.000 Wow.

02:15:01.000 Mossy Rock, Washington.

02:15:02.000 Interesting.

02:15:04.000 Bernard Kim says, like the idea of obfuscating parties of candidates, but people will just look on Google the party without doing much more research past that, but it's still better than nothing.

02:15:12.000 Yep.

02:15:12.000 Because then you get low information voters going, I don't know, and then they don't vote.

02:15:16.000 And you don't want people, like could you, we can't have people voting based on just party, because that doesn't mean anything.

02:15:24.000 It certainly doesn't change much.

02:15:25.000 Right, right.

02:15:26.000 Yeah.

02:15:26.000 All right, let's see.

02:15:30.000 People hated the riots.

02:15:30.000 Harcat says, Tim, you say we must resist, yet any and all resistance is seen as crazy

02:15:35.000 and extreme.

02:15:36.000 If we're basically being told to our face to die and starve while terrorists on the

02:15:41.000 left run free, what do we do?

02:15:43.000 Non-violent civil disobedience.

02:15:45.000 People hated the riots.

02:15:46.000 The riots caused a massive drop in support for Black Lives Matter, and the Democrats

02:15:49.000 are freaking out because of it.

02:15:51.000 Mm hmm.

02:15:52.000 Just showing up and, you know, success, success is the best revenge, I guess I say, right?

02:15:56.000 Patronize your small business, show up to restaurants and order food, like help them, help them get by, help them see this crisis through.

02:16:05.000 Yeah.

02:16:06.000 That's just, just it.

02:16:07.000 Like help your neighbor, you know, be there for people when they're hour of need.

02:16:12.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

02:16:14.000 Bunch of comments that are saying things I can't read on YouTube, but YouTube allowed them to type it in because they don't like me.

02:16:21.000 Context.

02:16:22.000 Algorithms don't know context.

02:16:24.000 Skeleton King says, Sean, when do we occupy Harrisburg?

02:16:29.000 I just said I was ready to ride on a horse and paint my face blue.

02:16:33.000 They're ready.

02:16:35.000 I know, I know.

02:16:38.000 Gosh, I'm close to it.

02:16:41.000 I'm almost there.

02:16:42.000 I'm almost there.

02:16:45.000 Do it and take pictures.

02:16:47.000 Rene Villareal says, just got all seven of my brothers a copy of Sean's book for Christmas.

02:16:52.000 Oh, snap! 1.00

02:16:53.000 Looks like you're going to be a main character in the book real soon, Tim!

02:16:57.000 A main character? 0.99

02:16:58.000 I mean, I'll make you the damn villain. 1.00

02:17:00.000 I don't care. 1.00

02:17:00.000 The villain? 1.00

02:17:02.000 Well, you could be in the Alpha program if you want.

02:17:04.000 I mean, you could do whatever you want.

02:17:05.000 Have him be co-opted by Chinese spies, but he doesn't know it. 0.91

02:17:08.000 I mean, you could be an Alpha informant.

02:17:11.000 No, it'd have to be like, uh, uh... What do you want?

02:17:15.000 You want to be a spy?

02:17:16.000 No, like, maybe, maybe, not a spy, but maybe someone who provides, like, you know, intel.

02:17:20.000 Right?

02:17:20.000 So... Yeah, human source?

02:17:22.000 A human source?

02:17:22.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:17:23.000 So it's like, you know, we got these guys... Oh my god, that would totally work with, with your, with your persona as, like, a vice reporter.

02:17:28.000 Yeah, a guy who knows a bunch of people.

02:17:30.000 Oh dude, I already got a story arc for you.

02:17:33.000 It's already done.

02:17:33.000 I already got it.

02:17:34.000 When you got the questions that need answers to, you got to come on Tim Casserole podcast.

02:17:39.000 We have too many people come in and out of this place, you know?

02:17:41.000 I hear secrets.

02:17:42.000 Whisper.

02:17:43.000 Exactly.

02:17:43.000 He's part of the Illuminati now.

02:17:45.000 Exactly.

02:17:46.000 Oh yeah.

02:17:47.000 I mean, that would be... If this audience puts that book on the bestseller list, that would be insane.

02:17:56.000 That would be crazy.

02:17:57.000 You just have a stink bug land on your shirt, I think. 0.50

02:18:00.000 Where?

02:18:00.000 Oh, there he is.

02:18:01.000 Oh yeah, she's flying around. 0.98

02:18:02.000 They're a little clumsy.

02:18:03.000 Things are kind of funny.

02:18:04.000 I like them.

02:18:04.000 All right, let's see.

02:18:05.000 And repeat says, did Sean just say if the leaders tell the police to not enforce unconstitutional orders?

02:18:11.000 Really?

02:18:12.000 Did the police take an oath to uphold the constitution or an oath to be mindless order followers?

02:18:16.000 Shaking my head.

02:18:18.000 That's an oath to uphold the constitution.

02:18:21.000 And many of them are just mindlessly following orders.

02:18:25.000 Well, I was just saying that the police have been put in very tough positions because part of their oath is to protect and serve, and they believe in the midst of this pandemic that they really are protecting people's lives by keeping them socially distanced.

02:18:43.000 They're in a tough spot, but I say Always fall back on what is constitutional and what is not.

02:18:52.000 The government cannot tell you what you have to wear in your own home.

02:18:55.000 The government cannot tell you how many people you can have in your own home.

02:18:58.000 The government cannot tell you that you're not allowed to make a living for your family.

02:19:02.000 So fall back on the Constitution and let it be our guide in times of crisis, because that is our shield.

02:19:10.000 The Constitution protects all of us from authoritarian government overreach, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, otherwise.

02:19:16.000 Jamie Arzola says Tim Pool is the reincarnation of Hunter S. Thompson. 0.96

02:19:20.000 I don't think so because he was like crazy on drugs.

02:19:24.000 But not in the beginning.

02:19:26.000 Who is that?

02:19:27.000 Hunter S. Thompson?

02:19:28.000 I don't know who this is.

02:19:29.000 Are you sure?

02:19:29.000 Are you being serious?

02:19:32.000 Oh yeah, I know who he is!

02:19:33.000 Of course!

02:19:34.000 He's a writer that went and took a bunch of drugs with his lawyer, drove across the country, did Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

02:19:41.000 That guy was on a ton of drugs.

02:19:44.000 I didn't know that.

02:19:44.000 But Jamie else says, shout out to the United States Marine Corps.

02:19:48.000 Semper Fi.

02:19:48.000 There you go.

02:19:50.000 Yeah, he was, just because there's a Bill Murray movie, I don't know, I assumed you probably would have seen it.

02:19:55.000 Fear and Loathing?

02:19:56.000 Yeah.

02:19:57.000 Of course I know that.

02:19:58.000 Johnny Depp plays Hunter.

02:19:59.000 I didn't know that.

02:20:00.000 Oh, there you go.

02:20:01.000 He's a pretty prolific writer.

02:20:02.000 Wow.

02:20:04.000 The Dutch Master says, I've never been to a protest before, but I am 35 and I've been politically active since 16.

02:20:10.000 I'm flying to DC from Seattle to participate in the protest.

02:20:12.000 Wow.

02:20:13.000 It's gonna get spicy.

02:20:14.000 Brandon Tom says, Alpha Project, the pool identity.

02:20:18.000 Ooh.

02:20:20.000 Ben Jamin says, Tim, you should live stream the January 6th boots in the ground.

02:20:26.000 I'd love to meet you.

02:20:27.000 So we were actually thinking about going to DC for the 6th event and doing the show from the production van or whatever, but the internet's gonna be down because there's gonna be too many people.

02:20:37.000 That's why we can't do it.

02:20:38.000 Unless we had a satellite dish, but we don't have that, so...

02:20:41.000 Let's see.

02:20:42.000 DTWiz says, where do 10 million protesters use the bathroom?

02:20:45.000 Yeah.

02:20:46.000 And that's the big challenge.

02:20:47.000 You know the answer to that.

02:20:48.000 TitanTech90 says, I bought all of his books.

02:20:51.000 Looks like Tim Poole is going to be a main character of a book.

02:20:53.000 Yes.

02:20:53.000 Well, specifically.

02:20:55.000 First of all, I was, I can't, that would be insane.

02:20:57.000 I mean, I didn't even.

02:20:59.000 That people are actually gonna buy your book?

02:21:00.000 Well, of course they'll buy your book.

02:21:04.000 No, I'm just saying it's very, very difficult to get a fiction book on the bestseller list.

02:21:08.000 But it's amazing.

02:21:09.000 Your audience is awesome.

02:21:11.000 I mean, right on.

02:21:12.000 Yeah.

02:21:13.000 Good compliment from Sean Parnell to all you guys watching it.

02:21:15.000 I mean, seriously, every time I come on the show, I mean, yeah, I hear from hundreds of people who watch you.

02:21:20.000 And I think what's interesting, Tim, is that like, In times of sort of universal deceit, people seek truth and have a craving for truth.

02:21:29.000 I think your show is one of the shows that they turn to in this time.

02:21:34.000 See, I gotta point out again, when Alex was on the show and he said, I want you to come on my show, and I was like, eh, I'm probably not gonna do it.

02:21:41.000 People were like, they expected me to be polite and just lie.

02:21:43.000 Does Alex still have a show?

02:21:44.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:21:45.000 Band.video.

02:21:46.000 He's doing really well with it, actually.

02:21:48.000 That's his new website.

02:21:49.000 I don't really know anything.

02:21:50.000 I checked out Bandot video a while ago, it's where he has his own...

02:21:53.000 He basically cloned YouTube.

02:21:55.000 And he gets good... he gets good viewership.

02:21:57.000 I mean, the dude clearly is still doing well for himself.

02:21:59.000 But I wasn't trying to... I'm not trying to...

02:22:01.000 I don't really know anything. I haven't ever watched any of his stuff.

02:22:03.000 But... yeah, I mean, to be honest, I've only seen a lot of the clips.

02:22:05.000 I mean, to be honest, I've only seen a lot of the clips.

02:22:07.000 I've only seen him driving through an MRAP screaming out of a megaphone.

02:22:10.000 That's literally, like, all I know from Alex Jones.

02:22:13.000 The point is, I'm not trying to be mean to him by saying, like, I don't know, I probably won't do it, because I work non-stop.

02:22:18.000 So when you say, like, you're going to read my books, I'm not going to lie to you.

02:22:21.000 I could.

02:22:21.000 I'm not going to do it.

02:22:22.000 Well, I mean, that doesn't surprise me.

02:22:24.000 I'm not trying to be mean, though.

02:22:26.000 But I'll read this one for sure, like, definitely.

02:22:28.000 That one really, you know, is intriguing.

02:22:30.000 I mean, I don't take offense to it at all.

02:22:32.000 I love reading.

02:22:35.000 I've read voraciously.

02:22:41.000 People send us books like crazy, and the best part is we get a lot of manifestos.

02:22:45.000 So I have a P.O.

02:22:46.000 box at TimCast.com slash donate, and we get manifestos all the time.

02:22:52.000 And I feel kind of bad.

02:22:53.000 This, this bodes well for a character in a fiction book.

02:22:58.000 Oh my God.

02:23:00.000 And my mind is already going crazy.

02:23:02.000 I got one that was probably like 300 pages once.

02:23:02.000 Some of them are crazy.

02:23:05.000 And I'm like, I could never read this. 0.92

02:23:06.000 I like, you know.

02:23:08.000 Could you imagine if you get a manifesto in this story and the manifesto is actually.

02:23:13.000 Like the diary of a guy involved in some crazy.

02:23:15.000 Crazy terrorist plot that all of a sudden now the alpha program has to step in.

02:23:19.000 That implicates certain government individuals that are infiltrated by the CCP.

02:23:24.000 I know.

02:23:24.000 Yes!

02:23:25.000 See, you're already there!

02:23:26.000 I can tell.

02:23:26.000 You're already with it.

02:23:29.000 All right, let's see.

02:23:30.000 Let's do a couple more Super Chats here.

02:23:32.000 Nathan Nat says, in response to the Marine shout-out, rah! 0.51

02:23:36.000 There you go.

02:23:37.000 There you go, Semper Fi!

02:23:38.000 Robo Cheez-It says, hey Tim, love the show.

02:23:40.000 I love it.

02:23:40.000 Robo Cheez-It.

02:23:41.000 I love Cheez-Its.

02:23:42.000 They're just delightful.

02:23:42.000 Please.

02:23:44.000 Robo Cheez-It.

02:23:45.000 All right, he says, please add when you live on different time zones, so when you're live on different time zones, so people like me who move a lot could find it easier and would also love to listen live.

02:23:54.000 It is 8 p.m.

02:23:55.000 Eastern, Monday through Friday.

02:23:57.000 Sean Hollywood says Trump to compel SCOTUS to intervene.

02:24:00.000 Mike Pence to ignore contested state.

02:24:00.000 How?

02:24:03.000 This will trigger House to elect Trump.

02:24:04.000 Biden will go to SCOTUS to contest.

02:24:06.000 Cases will be reviewed on merit.

02:24:09.000 I don't think... I think there's no political willpower.

02:24:13.000 Like, you have three Trump appointees who are just like... Can I tell you... Look, I've got to be careful because I've got a case in front of the Supreme Court now.

02:24:20.000 And I want to go into this saying that I absolutely respect the justices on that court and whatever verdict they would come to in my case, Tim.

02:24:29.000 I do think that the Supreme Court is also an inherently political body, and I do think that part of some of the justices are making the calculation, and again, this is just speculation, I can't stress that enough, that they're saying they want to be able to turn around to a Biden administration and say, look, we didn't rule on this stuff.

02:24:49.000 There's no need to pack the institution of the Supreme Court.

02:24:51.000 Oh my God.

02:24:51.000 Yeah.

02:24:52.000 They think... Well, I mean, they're trying to preserve the institution.

02:24:55.000 What they're doing is they're saying elections are every four years, but the institution of the Supreme Court is sacrosanct.

02:25:01.000 So they basically think that even if they did rule in favor of Trump, they'd still lose.

02:25:05.000 So their best bet is to, you know... Play politics?

02:25:09.000 Beg to Biden or the Democrats not to disrupt the court.

02:25:12.000 Wow.

02:25:13.000 We need a robot to be the Supreme Court. 0.90

02:25:16.000 I also think that if you're a justice, I think that that's probably, I think that that's reasonable.

02:25:21.000 I mean, I don't, I don't, I'm not saying, I want them to take up my case on the merits.

02:25:25.000 I think it's a strong case.

02:25:26.000 I think what violates the state constitution violates the federal constitution.

02:25:30.000 The federal government delegates powers to the states to conduct elections as long as the states run elections in accordance with their state constitution.

02:25:37.000 That did not happen on a number of different levels in the state of Pennsylvania.

02:25:40.000 The case is strong.

02:25:41.000 The Supreme Court should take it up.

02:25:43.000 Um, but it's, it's an explosive case.

02:25:45.000 There's a constitutional crisis, but also let's not forget that the Supreme Court is an inherently political body and, and bureaucracies in general protect themselves, you know?

02:25:56.000 And, and I think the justices are seeking to protect the institution of the Supreme Court.

02:26:00.000 I mean, that has to be part of their calculus.

02:26:02.000 Yeah.

02:26:03.000 Well, Sean, thanks for coming and hanging out.

02:26:05.000 Merry Christmas.

02:26:05.000 Oh, absolutely.

02:26:06.000 Hey, Merry Christmas to you guys, too.

02:26:07.000 Thanks for having me as usual.

02:26:08.000 Do we have to say happy holidays?

02:26:09.000 No.

02:26:10.000 No, we don't.

02:26:10.000 No.

02:26:11.000 Merry Christmas.

02:26:12.000 Monica, what else is there this time of year?

02:26:14.000 Kwanzaa.

02:26:15.000 Kwanzaa, yeah.

02:26:17.000 Happy holidays to you and yours.

02:26:19.000 Happy holidays.

02:26:19.000 Yeah.

02:26:20.000 Yeah.

02:26:21.000 Merry Christmas, everybody.

02:26:22.000 Merry Christmas.

02:26:22.000 Thanks for having me again.

02:26:23.000 I, you know, I know people who don't celebrate Christmas who are like, when I was younger, they're like, I don't understand why they even say happy holidays.

02:26:30.000 Like, who cares?

02:26:31.000 What would Jesus do if he was around today with the internet?

02:26:35.000 Something like this?

02:26:36.000 Make a show?

02:26:36.000 Talking about Christ, right?

02:26:38.000 Make sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Parler, at TimCast.

02:26:41.000 My other YouTube channels can be found at YouTube.com slash TimCast and YouTube.com slash TimCastNews.

02:26:47.000 We do the show live Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.

02:26:49.000 so make sure you come hang out tomorrow because we have people coming to hang out tomorrow.

02:26:53.000 And also, if you guys want to, get Sean Parnell's book, One True Patriot, is the right one, right?

02:26:59.000 That's the new one, yeah.

02:27:01.000 One True Patriot on the bestseller list.

02:27:02.000 You only need to sell, what, a few thousand?

02:27:04.000 I think a few thousand copies gets you on the list.

02:27:08.000 It's, I know you say only, but that's really, it's really difficult.

02:27:11.000 Well, because I hear stories about like 500,000 copies sold or whatever.

02:27:14.000 Well, I mean, if you want to make number one on the fiction list, you got to sell 500.

02:27:17.000 I mean, some, it depends on who's on the list.

02:27:19.000 I mean, sometimes it's 5,000 copies, sometimes it's 10.

02:27:22.000 Uh, but I think five, 6,000 copies gives you a good shot to get on the list.

02:27:26.000 But Sean Parnell himself is one true patriot and he's got a book.

02:27:29.000 I see what you did there, Tim.

02:27:32.000 And I like it.

02:27:33.000 So do you want to mention your social media or anything?

02:27:33.000 I love it.

02:27:35.000 Oh yeah, I'm at SeanParnotUSA on Twitter and on Parler and you can follow me on Facebook and Instagram as well.

02:27:43.000 And you very conveniently got me all of these books for Christmas just to open them up.

02:27:48.000 You asked for them, Tim.

02:27:49.000 Let's not leave that out for your audience.

02:27:49.000 You asked for them.

02:27:51.000 You asked for them.

02:27:52.000 You said, bring them down, dude!

02:27:53.000 Sign them!

02:27:54.000 And they're signed.

02:27:54.000 Oh, they're signed.

02:27:55.000 Excellent.

02:27:56.000 Where's the best place to buy them?

02:27:57.000 Oh, you can get them anywhere books are sold.

02:27:59.000 And there are audiobooks out there as well.

02:28:03.000 It's really kind of cool to be able to write a franchise.

02:28:07.000 Now they're going to be worth money.

02:28:08.000 When this makes the bestsellers, I'm going to be like, what was the first edition?

02:28:11.000 I'm going to find them on eBay tomorrow under Tim Holt's eBay profile.

02:28:14.000 Right on, right on.

02:28:16.000 Anything else you want to promote?

02:28:18.000 No, man, I really do appreciate, as usual, Tim, you're great to me.

02:28:24.000 I love coming on the show, I love talking about your stuff.

02:28:27.000 Yeah, I loved the opening conversation about your military service, too, because getting into that's cool.

02:28:31.000 That's why I definitely will start reading Outlaw Platoon.

02:28:34.000 Cause this to me is like, you know, I've been in civil unrest and civil conflict.

02:28:38.000 I don't know, whatever you'd call a revolution in Egypt was like the peak of the craziness.

02:28:44.000 But, uh, you know, so reading this and reading more about the actual full blown conflict.

02:28:48.000 That book is, is not, it's, it's a studiously nonpartisan book.

02:28:52.000 It's just about close infantry combat and a year and a half of it.

02:28:56.000 The media really fed us like a, kind of a storybook.

02:29:00.000 Not like, hey, no violence really even happened during the war.

02:29:03.000 We just went in and made sure everyone was safe.

02:29:05.000 It's not, it's, it's funny that you say that because when we went into Afghanistan, I mean, we thought we were going into a stability and support operation and it, we could not have been more wrong.

02:29:13.000 It was intense, close infantry combat for 16 months.

02:29:18.000 And it's all in that book.

02:29:33.000 I want to give a special shout out to Jesus Christ, because we were talking a lot about Christmas, named after him, Christ, you know, the Anointed One.

02:29:40.000 He may not be the only prophet, but he spoke the truth to power.

02:29:45.000 If he'd been a little smarter or maybe had better technology, they might not have found him and cut his head off.

02:29:49.000 He got sold out, bro.

02:29:50.000 Yeah, his buddies sold him out.

02:29:52.000 30 pieces of silver.

02:29:53.000 But let's see if we could live like Jesus and do it right this time.

02:29:56.000 And how many, and I'll say this, I'll be controversial, especially with you here, to the police officers who are being told to enforce unconstitutional or even outright illegal edict in exchange for 30 pieces of silver, you must reject it.
