On this week's episode of The Dark Side Of, we have a special guest on the show, former Republican Party of Texas Chairman Allen West, who is now running for Governor of Texas. He talks about his transition from chairman to running for governor, and why he decided to leave the position. We also hear about the massive protests in South Africa, and how the police are responding to them.
00:00:28.000To make it simple, because of the pandemic, we made voting very, very easy, and with that ease comes a lot of insecurity.
00:00:35.000So a lot of Republicans have been saying, okay, let's pull back a little bit of the mail-in voting, let's reduce some of the hours.
00:00:39.000But for the most part, a lot of these bills still leave a lot of open space for Democrats.
00:00:45.000That's not stopped the media and Democrats from saying these are voter restriction bills because they want to retain every single leeway they got during the pandemic.
00:00:54.000Right now in Texas, there's supposed to be a special session where they're going to vote to actually have some of these reforms.
00:01:01.000But the Democrats have fled on three private jets to D.C.
00:01:05.000illegally to block what's called a quorum.
00:01:13.000I mean, the looting, the violence, the rioting is so severe.
00:01:16.000You're seeing videos of citizens just shooting at rioters.
00:01:20.000There's even videos purporting to show police officers joining in the looting.
00:01:23.000I don't know if that's true completely, but there's a lot of accusations showing cops loading up vans, so maybe that's the case.
00:01:30.000And so we'll get into all this, and we have a great guest to talk about what's going on in Texas, someone who's actually now running for the governor of Texas.
00:01:37.000Lieutenant Colonel Allen West is joining us.
00:02:06.000I think a lot of people thought that it was something out there, you know, but we kind of kept people at bay.
00:02:12.000But when I put in the resignation from being the chairman, some folks realized that, yeah, he's he's looking at going to elected office again.
00:02:19.000We'll talk about that, too, because Texas is one of the states that people really love.
00:02:22.000I mean, for one, everyone loves Texas.
00:02:24.000But considering what happened with the lockdowns, Texas and Florida are way up there with what people appreciate.
00:02:28.000So we'll get into all that stuff, too.
00:03:17.000But we're going to save that for the after show because this one's going to get probably too spicy for YouTube.
00:03:21.000But become a member because not only are you doing that, but you're helping us expand.
00:03:24.000And you're actually going to get a preview, for those that are watching, of what the new website is going to look like.
00:03:31.000It is alpha demo version, but we're actually using one of the articles about Texas that we have from the alpha version of the site.
00:03:38.000So you're going to see the site's going to look fantastic, and then you'll know what your membership helps support.
00:03:43.000So again, TimCast.com, become a member, but don't forget to like this video, subscribe to this channel, right now, share the show with your friends, post it on Facebook or Twitter, wherever else, with a subject matter, what we're talking about, because that's the most powerful thing anyone can do right now.
00:03:57.000As most of you probably know, The big tech companies censor.
00:04:00.000They just censored Donald Trump's speech at CPAC, where he was talking about censorship.
00:04:07.000There's one thing they can't stop, though, when an individual decides to share content that doesn't fall outside of their nebulous guidelines.
00:04:15.000They're always trying to change the rules and argue something, but as long as the content can exist, they'll try to suppress it.
00:04:34.000We got NBC News reporting, Texas Democrats flee state in effort to block GOP-backed voting restrictions.
00:04:43.000The lawmakers are on their way to Washington to advocate for federal voting rights legislation, risking arrest by leaving during the special session.
00:04:51.000I just want to point out very quickly, I love how it's always framed in the media.
00:05:00.000And one of the things you have to understand is if you go back to April of last year, Eric Holder, who is the chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, wrote an op-ed piece in Time magazine.
00:05:10.000And the title of that op-ed piece was, How Coronavirus Should Permanently Change Elections in America.
00:05:31.000But they're talking about just flooding the zone with ballots that are out there.
00:05:34.000And one of the things that we have evaded in Harris County, which is the largest county in the state of Texas, third largest in the United States of America, is around Houston.
00:05:42.000The county clerk down there wanted to mail out 2.7 million ballots against a voter registration roll that had never been reviewed.
00:06:08.000And then the other thing they want is curbside voting.
00:06:10.000Now curbside voting in the Texas Constitution is very clearly defined.
00:06:15.000If you are, you know, unable to get out of your car, you go to a polling location and you arrange for your ballot to be submitted there at that polling location.
00:06:23.000They just want curbside voting anywhere.
00:06:26.000As a matter of fact, that exact same person, Chris Holland, set up nine different curbside voting locations all across Harris County.
00:06:32.000Now, those are the type of things that we're trying to eliminate from happening.
00:06:38.000Stop having poll watchers, Republican poll watchers, being bullied and not allowed to go in and do what they're supposed to do, watching the ballot counting process.
00:06:46.000But what is so funny, Tim, because you know I just flew up here to D.C.
00:08:09.000And the other thing that I find so interesting is that these Texas Democrats who are really obstructing the legislative process in the Lone Star State, they're up here talking about more federal control of elections.
00:08:20.000Well, the Constitution does not give the federal government any enumerated power.
00:08:24.000It has not delegated any power for them to run elections in the United States of America.
00:08:28.000There's no centralized control, but that's one of the socialist tenets, is nationalizing production.
00:08:34.000Not just economic production, but also we see elections.
00:08:38.000They have to do it one grain at a time.
00:09:53.000Well, you know what's so amazing, Tim, is, and you know, Ian and I were talking previously, you know, at the times that I served in combat, I was in combat trying to help people establish voting systems that now are probably better than ours.
00:10:06.000I mean, you know, I would, you know, everyone remember the purple finger?
00:10:10.000Well, now, I mean, I don't think we have any way of really determining who's been voting out there.
00:10:15.000Where were you when you were trying to set up the voting system?
00:10:41.000Well, it is insane, but that's how you get the one party control, which is exactly what the progressive socialists want in America.
00:10:48.000You know, I look at, you want your voting system to be a well-oiled machine, where each part of that process is mappable.
00:10:53.000You can track, this piece goes to this piece, to this piece, to this piece.
00:10:57.000So when the ballot comes out, we know where the ballot came from, we know who sent it, we know who got it and why, whether they went in person or they got an absentee ballot, which has that chain of custody.
00:11:04.000Now it seems like they're just trying to turn it into a splotch.
00:11:07.000You can't track where things are going, you can't... You know, we had that election, I think it was in North Jersey, where they found a big bundle of ballots, all just tied together, absentee ballots, and it made no mathematical sense.
00:11:27.000And this is what has happened, and it's not coincidental.
00:11:31.000So at the same time that we're trying to nationalize elections and not have any picture ID, no signature verification on these mail-in ballots, we've got an open borders policy.
00:11:43.000We've got hundreds of thousands of people flowing into the state of Texas, or planes that are all of a sudden showing up in the middle of the night in Tennessee.
00:11:51.000Well, before we get into all that, I want to mention something about that.
00:11:54.000You know those people get represented in the electoral vote regardless of whether or not they cast a vote.
00:11:59.000That's because the the left does not believe that the census should be based upon citizenship.
00:12:05.000They want the census to be based upon numbers and so they're flooding it in because they want to have what?
00:12:10.000They want to have those districts that will lean more so toward the Democrats.
00:12:37.000So in California, I think it was maybe Heritage, they said that California gets about one extra electoral vote because of the amount of illegal immigration in the state.
00:12:46.000The illegal immigrants are counted on the census.
00:12:49.000Congressional seats are then apportioned based on the census number, not the amount of citizens.
00:12:53.000And then you get electoral votes based on how many votes you have.
00:13:12.000Remember, they pushed off the census, they pushed off the results, and as soon as Joe Biden gets in, what's one of the first things he does, unconstitutionally, by executive order, opens up the borders, and now we have the flood of people that are coming in.
00:13:24.000To be fair, though, California's got some pretty open border policies.
00:13:27.000I mean, they're offering up health care to illegal immigrants under a certain age.
00:13:30.000So, you know, they ended up losing, I think, because of the mass exodus.
00:13:33.000But I'll also throw this out there as well.
00:13:36.000Texas did gain, but I think people are fleeing California into Texas.
00:13:39.000And there are two types of people that are fleeing.
00:13:50.000I want to go somewhere where I can live under conservative principles and policies.
00:13:54.000But then you also have the folks that are part of the transplanted workforce.
00:13:58.000When you pick up and you move a corporation or business.
00:14:01.000Like we've seen State Farm, Liberty Mutual, Toyota North America, Elon Musk coming out of these places.
00:14:06.000And the key thing is that we've got to convey to these presidents and CEOs, tell your folks that if they want to continue to vote like that, stay.
00:14:15.000But don't come here to Texas, which you're trying to come here because you want to benefit from our economic policies.
00:14:20.000And the next thing you know, it's, I call it the locust effect.
00:14:24.000Because California used to be a strong red state.
00:14:30.000Yeah, have you ever seen that comic somebody made where Joe Rogan, he's walking from California to Texas, and he's carrying, he's got a travel bag that says liberal policies on it.
00:14:39.000And then there's like a cowboy in Texas like, whoa, don't bring that with you.
00:14:43.000You know, and a lot of people down in Texas will say, we need to have a border wall, not just on the southern border, but also on the west side of Texas as well.
00:14:50.000And we need to have people turn in that blue card and we can give them a red card.
00:15:20.000Well, you've got to vote on principles, and I think that that's one of the things that you're looking at that is happening in the country, is that it is no longer so much about political party.
00:15:30.000It's about your principles and values.
00:15:47.000So you got one political party that wants, because of quote-unquote votes or to skew the census and the population, then you have another political party that wants the cheap labor.
00:15:56.000This is something that I was just thinking about recently because the Southern Poverty Law Center called me a reactionary, which is funny because I'm like actually kind of a reformer, which is not, you know, reactionaries want to keep the old system.
00:16:05.000And I'm like, no, I think we got to make a lot of changes to that system.
00:16:09.000And I thought it was pretty funny because policy wise, you know, I'm thinking about the political compass and like whether I'm, you know, I'm like, what are my positions?
00:16:15.000And so I actually, on the political compass, I'm fairly left libertarian.
00:16:19.000But I think there's something that easily, like you can easily understand this.
00:16:24.000I think you and I like America, the Constitution.
00:16:27.000We like the country, we like our borders.
00:16:29.000And there's like a difference in policy ideas.
00:16:32.000But the interesting thing about this is, if I say something like, I'm actually in favor of a basic universal healthcare system with private insurance, that doesn't mean left anymore, unless you hate America.
00:16:42.000And I know it might sound a little bit hyperbolic or exaggerated to say, like this, oh, liberals hate America.
00:16:48.000When it comes to progressives, How many of the people do you see on TV saying they want universal health care will also proudly wave the American flag and say this country was found on great principles that planted the seeds of freedom?
00:17:00.000They're not going to say those things.
00:17:01.000And think about what we saw happen on Independence Day, you know, coming from Maxine Waters, coming from, you know, Cori Bush, who I don't understand how Cori Bush is in the United States House of Representatives.
00:17:40.000But when they continue to spew that rhetoric, and you still have people that buy into it, that listen to it, then they start to believe, yeah, you know, I'm not free.
00:17:51.000And that's why, like I said last time, a show like yours is so important to get this message out, especially to the millennial generation.
00:17:58.000I don't want to go too much into this because I want to talk about this in depth, but you showed us your announcement video for governorship, and you included the names of several black men who are pioneers and founders in Texas A&M.
00:18:09.000State Senator Matthew Gaines, who was a former slave but ended up being a state senator in Texas and co-founded Texas A&M University and Prairie View A&M.
00:18:20.000Ruby, Texas State House of Representatives.
00:18:23.000And then the very first black chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, which was founded by 150 black men, Norris Racconi, a Houston, a Galveston businessman.
00:18:31.000Those men have, they prove anybody with hard work can succeed, and they have accomplished more than all of these progressive racist activists will ever accomplish.
00:19:12.000And she just blanket says, we're gonna, you know, raise money to bail them out.
00:19:15.000She said, the Texas House Democrats protest, that's what she calls it, a protest, shows extraordinary courage.
00:19:20.000So for those that are just tuning in, this is basically the Democrats in Texas are illegally blocking a vote by fleeing the state in private jets to where DC, I think, right?
00:20:04.000You know, we went into a special session last week, Thursday, and for whatever reason, our speaker of the house down there in Texas put the house on recess, and next thing you know, yeah, they're on recess.
00:20:14.000They're up here playing around in Washington, D.C.
00:20:17.000You know, I feel like when you get to the point where the political parties are engaging in voting instead of policy, like so the goal of the Democrats now is to affect how the vote happens.
00:20:30.000Yeah, that's like the last barrier to the system falling apart.
00:20:34.000Because it's one thing when you have everyone saying, okay, we agree these are the rules, now let's play the game.
00:20:39.000Now you've got, you're at the point where you're in the fourth quarter, and the other coach is saying, we're gonna change the rules, that rule doesn't count.
00:20:46.000We gotta change the, everybody come here, we're changing the rules, we all agree.
00:20:48.000It's like, no, no, no, no, something's up.
00:20:50.000If they can't defend themselves on policy, and they're now saying, we need to change the voting rules, That sounds like they don't got an argument to make.
00:20:58.000That sounds like how you lose a country.
00:21:01.000And when you allow them to take such petulant actions, let's just put it this way.
00:21:05.000If Republicans were to do this exact same thing, what would be the number one story on MS, LSD, CNN, NBC, what would be the number one story?
00:22:05.000We have created restrictions for a society in which we gain certain types of freedom.
00:22:10.000And so voter restriction in a lot of ways enhances freedom because it creates a restrictive system that works better than just a throw it against the wall and see what sticks type of anarchy freedom.
00:22:22.000Let's put it this way to help clarify your point.
00:22:26.000If you had an electrical current go into water, those electrons are just free to mill about.
00:22:32.000You're not going to solve any equations with it.
00:22:34.000But if you restrict the flow of those electrons, you can solve complex equations.
00:22:38.000Computers can strict the flow, they restrict.
00:22:41.000And so I think about this voting stuff, and restriction is a false framing.
00:22:45.000They're trying to make it seem like Republicans are trying to take away people's rights.
00:22:49.000When in actuality, it's about securing the process which guarantees your rights so that someone can't come in and steal it.
00:22:55.000For every unmatched signature, for every ballot that should have been rejected because it was late or whatever, that comes in, that negates your due diligence, the hard work you did to abide by the rules.
00:23:08.000Absolutely, but the thing is that, let's put it in a historical context, if we want to talk about voting.
00:23:13.000Who has always been the party that was against voting rights?
00:23:16.000Who has always been the party that was about voting suppression?
00:23:19.000Okay, if I remember right, the 14th Amendment, that was Republicans, you know, and that was to give blacks recently freed slaves, which is the reason why the Republican Party was founded, 13th Amendment, which the Democrats vote against.
00:23:30.000They also voted against the 14th Amendment.
00:23:32.000They've taken that equal protection under the law clause and they perverted it.
00:23:36.000The Democrats were the ones that came up with Jim Crow.
00:23:38.000So I really do find it kind of laughable when, you know, everyone's saying Jim Crow 2.0.
00:23:43.000Well, you guys should know about Jim Crow because you started it.
00:23:46.000Or you talk about the literacy tests and the poll taxes.
00:23:49.000When you talk about the Ku Klux Klan, why was the Ku Klux Klan founded?
00:23:53.000The Ku Klux Klan was founded for voter suppression to keep blacks from being able to go out and vote.
00:23:57.000The same type of blacks that founded the Republican Party of Texas and those gentlemen who became some early pioneers.
00:24:03.000And so that's what we have to start doing is saying that, you know, you guys have always been on the side of this historically.
00:24:09.000When you want to talk about systemic racism, it's you guys.
00:24:42.000I mean, certainly there are people who have come up with answers, but it's remarkable to me that by simply telling someone this, they go, got it.
00:25:10.000And there's the same Joe Biden who referred to black men as predators.
00:25:14.000Now, when Joe Biden's standing there in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and he's talking about the riots that were there and the murdering of blacks and the destruction of Black Wall Street, he kind of missed this little great historical anecdote that it was the Democrats who did that.
00:25:28.000Or when you try to take, you know, Juneteenth, which is the day that blacks found out that they were free down in Texas in 1865, and he tries to say that this is an independence day.
00:25:40.000Well, you know, they found out that they were free because of a Republican president and Republicans and what they did and the Emancipation Proclamation that was signed by Abraham Lincoln, not because of Democrats.
00:25:49.000And so they're trying to steal history.
00:26:08.000Senate Democrats against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
00:26:11.000And they say that that was around the time the Democrats started switching, but I'd like to play just a little historical game of walking through a brief time through history, starting with what you just said.
00:26:45.000I'm sorry, I thought Chicago's been Democrat since, like, what, the 20s?
00:26:49.000The greatest amount of failure is in all of these Democrat cities.
00:26:53.000The greatest amount of crime, even though they try to say Republicans defunded police, the greatest amount of black-on-black killing is in cities that are run by Democrats.
00:27:03.000But yeah, I have yet to see, you know, Ms.
00:27:05.000Patrice Cullors of, you know, Black Lives Matter, the avowed Marxist that has three multi-million dollar properties.
00:27:10.000I barely have a house, you know, just like $450,000.
00:27:14.000But yet I've never seen her go to Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, D.C., Philadelphia or any of these places.
00:28:55.000I remember when Brooks, you know, he had been there in the institution for so long, then finally he got to be free.
00:29:02.000But when they let him out of the institution, he was working at the grocery store, he just could not deal with it because he had become an institutional man.
00:29:10.000And so I think that you have gotten this institutional mentality of victimhood.
00:29:15.000That there are some people that have become so comfortable with Section 8 housing, so comfortable with the drugs and the gangs, so comfortable with waiting for the check to come down.
00:29:24.000You know, you start to look at a lot of the fast food restaurants and places like that.
00:29:28.000They're suffering because people are getting paid to stay at home and not work.
00:29:31.000I think that we have this dependency cycle that is happening.
00:29:35.000And when you read Alexander Frazier Titler's, his, you know, Democracy Can't Exist as a Permanent Form of Government, you read that cycle.
00:29:42.000The cycle starts with dependence, but then as you go through it, you end up coming right back to dependence.
00:29:49.000And I think that is what is happening.
00:29:51.000And one of the critical points is that you get that apathy.
00:29:55.000And that's what we see happening here in the United States of America, where people are just comfortable.
00:30:02.000And that's what I, you know, yesterday I opened up CPAC on Sunday, and I said, we got this choice to either be victors or be victims.
00:30:11.000And what conservatism, what America was founded on was the individual is a victor.
00:30:17.000You know, one thing I think makes everything a bit easier is now that the Democrats have started admitting they're all racists and white supremacists.
00:30:24.000So you have people like Robin DiAngelo, and you get these TikTok videos where these are all progressive, ultra-woke people flat out saying they're racists and white supremacists.
00:30:34.000And I'm like, thank you for admitting it.
00:30:42.000Or, I think it's, as Carl Benjamin calls it, white supremacists with guilty consciences.
00:30:47.000Well, you know, Shelby Steele wrote the book, White Guilt, and all you folks out there, if you haven't read Shelby Steele's book, White Guilt, you should read it.
00:30:53.000And that's how, I gotta tell you, white folks get hoodwinked.
00:31:33.000And she was saying how freedom is terrifying, hard, and scary.
00:31:36.000And she almost went back to North Korea when she had finally received freedom for the first time because she didn't know what to make.
00:31:41.000She didn't want to make the wrong decision.
00:31:43.000And she was so used to being told what to do.
00:31:44.000So I think these people that are institutionalized have a similar life experience where, you know, the opportunity of freedom is you could destroy it all.
00:32:46.000But I want to share this quote with you all and with the audience.
00:32:49.000The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow.
00:32:55.000They come to be accepted by degrees by dent of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology.
00:34:10.000They're gonna see that, and they're not gonna know that it's meant to manipulate you.
00:34:14.000Because they're gonna see a very serious looking man, very seriously saying, watch me cook salmon this way.
00:34:19.000They're gonna grow up with that, and then when they're older, they're gonna be taking a steam iron and ironing their Eggo waffle, while filming themselves with an animal face filter, and it'll be pure insanity.
00:34:29.000Because we're older, we understand, you don't cook, it's not convenient to cook salmon in a coffee maker, that's stupid.
00:34:36.000But these kids don't know that, now check this out.
00:34:38.000Here's where it gets a bit more damning.
00:34:43.000At the end of the 2000s, something most of you who listen to the show have heard quite a lot, but it plays into this, especially with that Ayn Rand quote, blogs realized that rage was getting the most shares.
00:35:06.000They go on Facebook and they see nothing but police brutality, nothing but posts about evil racism of America, and they've been living in that their entire adult lives.
00:35:15.000Now it's no surprise they believe all this woke insanity.
00:35:18.000They believe all the psychotic garbage because it's been their entire life.
00:36:12.000And, you know, I had a dear friend of mine, a Marine, retired first sergeant by the name of Jim Reifinger, and he said, if you ever find yourself in a fair fight, it's all because your tactics suck.
00:36:22.000And we continue to want to have this fair fight.
00:36:51.000Republicans stand there, and if you read Solon Link's Rules for Radicals, you know what one of the rules are?
00:36:55.000To constrain your enemy into their own principles and values.
00:37:00.000And so that comes back to what is happening at the border.
00:37:03.000You have a federal government that is completely abdicated its constitutional duty to protect the sovereignty of the state of Texas and the United States of America, and we're sitting around talking about, well, we really can't do anything about it because we don't have the ability as a state.
00:37:17.000The Constitution says that you can protect yourself when the federal government abdicates their duty.
00:37:22.000This is interesting because the way you're describing it, it sounds very much like the old trope of the Revolutionary War.
00:37:27.000The crown was very much looking for a regimented battle on the, uh, you know, on the, on the standard.
00:37:49.000It was because, you know, I was talking to some Occupy activists back in the day, and they were talking about something, I can't remember what it was, but I said, do you think that the Ninja Warrior would walk to the front gate and then Challenge challenge the war hello your imperial guards.
00:38:06.000I must defeat you then I can go into the feudal lords room No, they snuck around back.
00:38:15.000Maki Bishi is out there called they spent you know drops preparing.
00:38:19.000Yeah, they would do it They would go in the dead of night and they would put wooden posts in lakes so that after they assassinated a feudal lord, they would run on the posts on the water and people would think they were walking on water.
00:38:37.000I watched this amazing fight on YouTube a long time ago of a samurai versus a ninja.
00:38:41.000And it was incredible because the samurai is fighting with honor and he's swinging and he's regimented and then the ninja pulls powder, like chalk, out of his kimono or whatever it's called and throws it in the guy's face.
00:38:53.000And he was like, they don't care about your rules or your honor.
00:38:57.000Because in the end, whoever wins is the one who's going to walk away and control things.
00:39:01.000So that's the problem with Republicans.
00:39:03.000They look at everything like, oh, you know, we believe in the free speech of the left and their right to speak and we'll defend it.
00:39:09.000And they go, thank you so much, Banham.
00:39:11.000Well, you know, that's one of the issues that we had down in Texas was, you know, we have control of the Texas State House, 83 to 67, and we have the Speaker there.
00:39:22.000And I wrote a little piece that said, please do not give Democrats committee chair positions.
00:39:29.000I think you've got Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:39:54.000But in terms of feistiness, you know, you got very, very few, if any, Republicans.
00:39:59.000But I'll tell you this, Democrats Man, they literally defended rioters who burned down buildings and tried to bail out the people who... You have a rioter that resulted in the death of someone that is a member of Congress.
00:41:47.000When Maxine Waters showed up and said, unless we get the verdict that, you know, is right, we're going to be out here, we're going to push harder, we're going to do more.
00:41:56.000I mean, we already, we all know what happened in Minnesota the last time.
00:41:58.000We all know what happened with, you have like 23 plus deaths or whatever directly associated with the riots and then some peripheral deaths.
00:43:02.000To say that we're going to implement an open borders policy and just allow illegals to flow right through, well, the Constitution says Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 and Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution, the Founding Fathers referred to it as an invasion.
00:43:40.000You mobilize your full National Guard.
00:43:43.000You put them down there to show that this is a deterrent.
00:43:46.000You make sure that you block the infiltration routes.
00:43:48.000Because what is happening is that we're focusing on those crossing points where the women and children are being funneled across.
00:43:55.000But what we saw when we were down at Up the River, you could see the flickering lights, and I put on the night vision goggles, and you saw the other folks coming across.
00:44:30.000But we do have a story I want to pull up.
00:44:32.000This is from TimCast.com, and for those that are wondering, this is the alpha version of the site, which is alpha, mind you, but it still looks really, really cool.
00:44:40.000Texas sheriffs sue Biden admin for restricting ice amid border crisis.
00:44:45.000So it sounds like it's not just that they're not doing anything, they're actively hindering the attempts.
00:44:51.000They are telling, they have told Customs and Border Patrol, they are telling ICE do not do your job.
00:44:57.000ICE is there to deport people and ICE is being told don't do your job, don't deport people.
00:45:02.000So what are these constitutional officers, that's the interesting thing, the difference between a sheriff and a local municipality police officer.
00:45:10.000Sheriffs are constitutional officers and so they're standing up and saying that you are obstructing my duties as a constitutional officer because you are allowing these people or telling these people not to do their job and so therefore they're bringing a lawsuit against the administration.
00:45:26.000The allegations are scarier than just that from the article.
00:45:29.000According to the lawsuit, the Biden administration's February 18th memorandum has blocked ICE officers from taking illegal immigrants into custody who have committed crimes like human trafficking.
00:45:40.000They say, quote, since the issuance of the February 18th memorandum, ICE officers have been unable to take custody of or issue detainer requests for dangerous criminal aliens whose detention is mandated by the Immigration and Nationality Act.
00:45:52.000Specifically, detention is required for aliens who have committed or been convicted of numerous crimes other than aggravated felonies, such as crimes of moral turpitude, crimes involving controlled substances, human trafficking, money laundering, and certain firearms offenses.
00:46:09.000If Biden was going to say something like, we're helping refugees, go ahead and arrest all those guys, I'd be like, oh, those Democrats trying to find some way.
00:46:17.000This is like, eh, the human traffickers, let them go.
00:46:51.000that is happening down on our border, and it's going to affect what is happening not just in Texas, but all across the United States of America, because we're not even talking about the fentanyl that is coming across.
00:47:37.000And it was a story showing how a family flew from Africa into Brazil, and they spent thousands, it was like $4,000 total, to fly their family from Africa to Brazil, and then thousands more to bring them from Brazil up to the southern Mexican border.
00:47:52.000And the reason they did it was they knew if they flew to the US, they would be denied.
00:47:55.000Because actually going through a checkpoint, you'd get turned around.
00:47:58.000But if they came to the poorest southern border, especially at the time of a caravan, they might get through.
00:48:04.000And so I asked them, if these people were refugees fleeing Africa, Brazil is amazing.
00:48:14.000Great food, great people on the beach, coconuts for a buck, super cheap.
00:48:18.000Why would you spend thousands of dollars to leave a place where you're already safe?
00:48:22.000And I'll tell you this, probably because you got Bolsonaro down there, who's not playing games, and they knew the Democrats would probably give them a free pass.
00:48:33.000And so the president of Mexico and the president of Guatemala both have said, and the president of Guatemala said it directly to Kamala Harris, you guys caused this problem.
00:48:44.000The policies were in place that kept this under control.
00:48:47.000Then you come in and change the policies, and now you have this flood.
00:48:49.000So don't come down here, you know, talking about this issue, you know.
00:48:52.000And going down saying, well, it's climate change.
00:48:56.000That family did not leave Africa because of the weather, okay?
00:49:14.000Have broken no laws and then he just names the laws like actually they violated something. Yeah, it's really dry
00:49:18.000But these people say they're legal asylees and they mention the climate change thing
00:49:23.000Kamala harris like it's because of climate change. Did you ask him one one one person interviewed?
00:49:28.000I think this was by a french news outlet. I think it was afp Uh said I miss buffalo wild wings pretty sure that ain't
00:49:35.000climate change No, that ain't climate change.
00:49:36.000But I gotta be honest, I miss B-dubs too!
00:49:37.000Well, I don't know, but Buffalo Wild Wings, if you get the really hot, spicy ones, you do get hot and whatever, so maybe it is all about climate change.
00:49:46.000This person was in Mexico, in the caravan, and they were interviewed, vox.com, V-O-X, cover this, that they said, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings.
00:49:53.000I just busted out laughing, because I'm like, I feel you.
00:49:56.000Like, I love me some B-dubs, but Mexico City has B-dubs.
00:50:02.000This is all about, you know, coming to seek asylum and they're living in poverty and, you know, they're being threatened by gangs or whatever.
00:50:11.000Then most people out of Chicago or any of these other inner cities that, you know, the left is running, then they should seek asylum somewhere too.
00:50:52.000Of course it is, but that's what they are all about, and we allow them to get away with it.
00:50:57.000And so this is not, you know, I've just been doing some reading about remittances that are being sent back out of the United States by illegal immigrants.
00:51:05.000When you look at the Northern Triangle countries, you're talking about $36 billion.
00:52:10.000Money will be spent by you, Ian, on a brand new fancy watch at a local store, and that money is instantly internationally transferred to another country.
00:52:17.000Be it through the business owner, or in the instance of this with the remittances, people working there will get paid and then send the money out of the country.
00:52:24.000Not to mention the depression of wages so that in the inner city communities, you know, these, you know, young teenagers, black, Hispanic, they don't have the opportunity to get these jobs because they're going to someone to dishear illegally.
00:52:38.000So it is a vicious cycle that we're creating in our country.
00:52:41.000I feel like we got to define the word refugee right now, because if someone's really fleeing terror, then I think we have a duty to house them at the very least.
00:52:52.000But if someone's mean to you, it says mean words that you're not a victim.
00:53:00.000And if you follow the money trail, there are a lot of leftist lawyers that are going into these countries, and they're giving them the talking points.
00:53:06.000And the interesting thing, guys, is that they will go and surrender to the—they know who the federal Border Patrol agent is.
00:54:00.000Each one of the cartels has a different wristband because they're the ones that are allowing you transit through their respective territories.
00:54:07.000And, you know, the adults, the kids, they all have the wristband from the cartel that is bringing them across.
00:54:13.000And even though they're not able to pay this money, guess what?
00:54:16.000When they get on this side, they have cartel operatives.
00:54:19.000They're going to be working for the cartels and sending that money back.
00:54:22.000If we are serious about this, we must declare the cartels criminal and terrorist organizations, and then we go after their financing and resourcing.
00:54:31.000I just gotta make sure I pull this up, because this is a bold thing to say, but yes, it is true.
00:54:35.000A video was released showing Biden admins secretly flying migrant children into Tennessee, while Republican rep urges Congress to pull Kamala's travel funds until she visits the border.
00:54:44.000So this is a story from May, and it wasn't just Tennessee.
00:54:47.000Now you gotta understand, when you are secretly, and in violation of the law, taking humans and transporting them, you are smuggling people.
00:55:35.000that are coming out of texas you know with illegal immigrants and that's how you build a border security fund you also designate those cartels as criminal and terrorist organizations so you go after their the banks that are you know funneling and laundering their money you go after these stash houses you go after real estate agents and agencies and the banks that are supporting these stash houses This is an intricate system that you've got to peel the layers of the onion back.
00:56:02.000But the most important thing, you've got to go after those resources.
00:56:04.000And the other thing is, you've got to stop with the magnets.
00:56:07.000If you come into Texas, you're not getting free taxpayer benefits in Texas.
00:56:10.000You're not getting in-state tuition as illegal in Texas.
00:56:13.000And so it's those type of things that we have to use as a physical deterrent and then also economic deterrence.
00:56:19.000What kind of resistance would you foresee from the federal government?
00:56:22.000Uh the federal government just and see that's a great point because see that comes back to exactly what we said Republicans always put themselves in a box that says well, we've got to get the permission from the federal government It was free and independent states that created the federal government.
00:56:37.000And so when you understand federalism When you understand your duty as a sovereign state, you don't sit back and you wait for the mother may I from the federal government.
00:56:46.000You have a duty and responsibility as a governor to protect the citizens in your state.
00:56:50.000And right now, the citizens of the state of Texas are not being protected.
00:56:53.000I know everyone's saying, well, we're going to build a wall.
00:56:56.000There's 1,200 miles that we share with a foreign nation.
00:57:00.000There's only 145 miles of wall that's been built.
00:57:03.000How long do you think it's going to take us to build another 1,055 miles of a border wall, which the Trump administration estimated at $10-12 billion, and we've only said that we're going to allocate $250 million?
00:57:16.000Well, to be fair, I heard a story that Trump actually proposed moats full of alligators.
00:58:02.000You watch them when we've had, a lot of reporters we've had on this show have been down there, and it's the most insane thing to see a residential neighborhood, and then all of a sudden you'll see 15 dudes just run full speed, and then like border guards chasing after them.
00:58:14.000High-speed car chases, carjackings have increased, ransacking of grocery stores and convenience stores.
00:58:33.000You have right now going on, and this is going to explode pretty soon, there is a cartel internal turf battle, turf war, and these guys are gearing up because there are certain cartels that want to expand the drug trade, fentanyl, and what have you.
00:58:49.000There are certain cartels that are only into human and sex trafficking, and there are certain cartels that want to bring all that together under their control.
00:58:56.000There are some incredible videos that show some of the massacres and how some of these bodies are just laying out in the streets all over the place.
00:59:03.000You can go down and you can be on our side of the border.
00:59:10.000This is what's happening just on the other side.
00:59:12.000And I guarantee you, if they are having an internal border fight between the cartels on the south side of the border, That's going to spill over to our side of the border.
00:59:21.000And there are people who have houses just like right there.
00:59:50.000And just imagine, OK, this is no different from ISIS and the Taliban operating, and we're allowing them free reign and free control of our border control.
00:59:59.000What do you think would happen if one of these guys in these houses took a weapon, saw one of these cartel members and fired on him, killed him?
01:00:58.000But what they really wanted to do was they wanted to say that we've got a gun problem in the United States of America because we have straw dealers that are selling guns.
01:01:09.000We're going to try to create the straw man and say the gun distributors and manufacturers doing it and then we can therefore shut down the gun manufacturing industry here in the United States of America.
01:01:20.000What the Obama administration did with Fast and Furious was the exact same thing the Obama administration was doing in the Middle East, in Syria, and then also in Libya.
01:01:27.000I mean, the whole thing that happened in Benghazi was because we were trying to negotiate and get weapons back from the folks that we had supported, Islamic Jihadists, against Qaddafi, and we were going to send those weapons into Syria.
01:01:41.000has a problem with kind of doing that, you know, Mujahideen, for instance.
01:02:02.000ISIS came when you create a void, much the same as we are doing now in Afghanistan.
01:02:07.000If you create a void, basic law of physics, someone's going to fill that void.
01:02:10.000And so if you had just left a residual force, kind of like a strike force to keep the other side at bay, not worrying about democratic institutions or what have you.
01:02:17.000And so ISIS came in and we knew about it.
01:02:20.000As a matter of fact, al-Baghdadi was once in our custody there and he was released.
01:02:47.000OK, exact same thing is going to happen.
01:02:48.000I've already had a couple of my former interpreter translators in Afghanistan ask me for letters of recommendation so they can get out.
01:02:54.000But you know what's the interesting thing?
01:02:56.000They could probably get to the United States of America quicker if they could pay to go down to Brazil and come up, you know, through our poor southern border than to try to go to the embassy and get them to do the right thing for these young men and young women who helped us as interpreters and translators and getting them out of Afghanistan.
01:03:13.000They are truly under attack and they will be killed by the Taliban, by ISIS or whoever comes back into power.
01:03:20.000And guess who also is moving into Afghanistan now that we have precipitously left?
01:03:30.000Trump's initial deadline was May and Biden pushed it back a little bit.
01:03:33.000Yeah, but see, the thing is that anyone will tell you all you have to do is leave a small residual force to keep the other side at bay.
01:03:38.000Leave a small special forces type of force that can make sure that they'll come in and once again re-establish the sanctuary.
01:03:45.000I think, you know, we had Sean Parnell on the show and that's ultimately where we came to, where he was saying, we can't stay there forever.
01:03:51.000The United States can't just be sitting in this country, but a small team, something to do exactly what you're saying.
01:03:57.000I mean, we're not talking about leaving a large million man force like we did in Germany for what, 50 or 60 years.
01:04:03.000But if you leave, you know, the quick strike force, like I say, with the special operators that can go and target certain key individuals and keep the other side at bay, that's all you need.
01:04:12.000It's mistakes after mistakes, you know.
01:04:14.000We shouldn't have been in there in the first place for a lot of reasons.
01:04:16.000Well, you know, the thing is, we had to go in initially, but what happens is that you lose focus.
01:04:22.000You become an army of occupation instead of army that is enemy-oriented.
01:04:27.000And you go in, you start to worry about building roads, building institutions, and all of those things.
01:04:44.000I agree, and I don't think that the resource, I don't think the Biden administration is going to be too focused on helping Americans.
01:04:51.000I think it's going to be more of what we see with many other presidents focusing on foreign policy and kind of disregarding what Americans need in this country, notably.
01:04:59.000Our own border security seems to be a mess, and they're... Well, it's just the same as the pipeline.
01:05:04.000You know, Joe Biden comes in and shuts down oil and gas production and pipelines, being in Alaska, being at Keystone, being at Fracking in Texas, but yet he says to Vladimir Putin, eh, go right ahead.
01:05:59.000And what happened, I mean, we knew this was coming 10 days out.
01:06:03.000Well, the wind turbines froze and the solar panels froze over and so all of a sudden what was supposed to be a 26% of your energy distribution plan dropped down to 3% and there was no backup because no one had done any winterization checks on a lot of the natural gas plants and we had shut down a lot of the coal fire plants, which we can look at clean coal to be burned out there.
01:07:03.000Now, some countries have gone really, really big with wind, but people don't understand is that you have to subsidize a lot of it, um, or You have to get energy elsewhere because there's not always wind.
01:07:18.000And one of the things, there was somebody who posted this on Facebook.
01:07:21.000They said something ridiculous like, the reason we're not getting rid of fossil fuels is because the Democrats and the Republicans are beholden to massive corporations and they just want to make money.
01:07:34.000And I responded with, The real reason we're not getting rid of fossil fuels is that the energy return on energy invested for everything else except for nuclear doesn't provide enough energy.
01:07:44.000The amount of energy going into these systems that's not petroleum, save nuclear, isn't enough.
01:07:50.000And the other thing is that even with the green systems, the wind and the solar, guess what you use to push it through the system?
01:08:22.000The tide comes in, tide goes out, and you capture some of that energy.
01:08:25.000The problem is, How much petroleum do you use to build those systems, and how long will it take to pay back and offset that carbon, and will you actually produce enough in the long run?
01:09:03.000You know, man, let's, uh, we were talking about the Middle East, and we have another story which I find fascinating, is the mayor of Miami has asked for a US-led intervention into Cuba.
01:09:29.000Protesting lack of covid resources and vaccines and things like that.
01:09:33.000Of course, they have to spend this because remember it was Barack Obama down there with the Castro's at a baseball game and he also took a big picture in front of a mural of Che Guevara, one of the most bloodthirsty revolutionaries ever.
01:10:22.000Their principles and values are conservative.
01:10:24.000You're going to lose just the same as what happened in the last election cycle.
01:10:29.000The Cuban community, that Hispanic community down in South Florida, the Venezuelan expatriates, the Cuban expatriates, they went heavily for Donald Trump.
01:10:37.000Guess what's going to happen this time?
01:10:38.000They're going to go even more so in the next election.
01:11:58.000They predicted it was gonna swing, what was it, like 15 points or whatever, Democrat, went hard red.
01:12:04.000Republican won, and everyone kind of threw up, all the Democrats threw up in their mouths, like, how did this happen?
01:12:09.000It's because these people who live in Florida know exactly what's going on in Cuba, and exactly what these promises really mean.
01:12:16.000There was one viral video from a Venezuelan a year or so ago, Where she was like, everything the DSA, AOC, and Bernie Sanders have promised you is exactly what they told us in Venezuela.
01:12:49.000You know, you can, Bolshevik Revolution, you know, in China with Chairman Mao, wherever you go.
01:12:54.000And it's always interesting how the left, you know, it was the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or it's the Democratic German Republic, and things of this nation.
01:13:05.000They always try to use that democratic word, but yet they are the progressive socialists.
01:13:15.000When Hamas was raining down rockets all over Israel, you had, you know, the members of the squad and others in the Democratic Party condemning Israel.
01:13:27.000And so, there's going to come a time when people, they're our best advertisement.
01:13:33.000And all we've got to do is voices like you all's here, and others, just continue to say this.
01:13:38.000Just the same as they have that constant pressure, instead of the constant retreat on our side, we have to match it with the constant pressure of the truth.
01:14:07.000Where's the Republican to come out and say, I want to repeal the NFA, or repeal some of these gun laws, or to say, we want a law that does X for us on gun rights?
01:14:17.000Typically, they're resisting Democrats' offense, always on the defense.
01:14:22.000You know, I give you a great example, and I was sharing this with some folks at CPAC yesterday.
01:14:26.000Remember the Olympic hammer thrower who came out, she turned her back on the National Athlete Charter?
01:14:33.000Wouldn't it be great if someone just came out and put a little meme, just a side-by-side comparison of Jesse Owens in 1936 standing on that pedestal after winning the gold medal and saluting while the national anthem was being played.
01:15:22.000They see some older person say, here's how you respond to it, but it's nonsensical.
01:15:26.000The left either is lying or doesn't understand that conservatives' argument is there are two people involved in one body when it comes to pro-life.
01:15:38.000If Candace Owen says, my individual family member made a choice,
01:16:10.000You have taken them past their initial little talking point, which is an inch deep, and you need to go on the offense.
01:16:16.000But too often what we do is, when they call us a name, we go on the defense, which emboldens them and gives them the power, and we cede that over to them.
01:16:23.000But we've got to be more aggressive and continue to pound them with the truth.
01:16:37.000And they start screaming, no one's teaching critical race theory.
01:16:40.000You get John Leguizamo coming out being like, yo, this is just a legal talkie talk or whatever.
01:16:46.000And it's funny because someone, I saw someone on Twitter point out, if you've got a problem with us calling everything critical race theory, it's no different from you calling everything white supremacy.
01:16:54.000So welcome to the same game you've been playing.
01:16:57.000But you know what is interesting, that completely debunks what they're saying, is that when the head of the American Federation of Teachers, Randy Weingarten, stands up and says, we are going to teach critical race theory.
01:18:37.000The reality is, for both of us, if we agree with them, then we're both oppressed.
01:18:43.000If we disagree with them, then we're both racists and our backgrounds don't matter or anything like that.
01:18:48.000But do you understand how confusing that is?
01:18:49.000So just teach your kids math and reading and stop screwing around with their minds and trying to indoctrinate them.
01:18:55.000But the great thing, Tim, is that when you talk about this critical race theory, two years ago, no one knew who their school board member was.
01:20:43.000So we were... I can't remember who we were talking to.
01:20:45.000We were talking about Ron DeSantis and maybe a Trump-DeSantis ticket.
01:20:49.000And the fear from some of these people in Florida is like, but if you take away Ron DeSantis from Florida and he enters a presidency that doesn't control the Congress or the courts, then you end up depowering DeSantis because he is an effective governor in Florida.
01:21:05.000And that's what people are starting to realize is that the states are the most important entity.
01:21:11.000And then from the states, it goes down to the county commissions, to the city councils, to the school boards.
01:21:17.000And that's where Republicans have not done a real good job of focusing on previously.
01:21:22.000And that has been a big turn that we saw in the state of Texas.
01:21:26.000We want back a lot of school board seats.
01:21:28.000We want back a lot of city council seats because we got people engaged.
01:21:32.000We got people focusing on that in our municipal level elections this past May.
01:21:37.000You got to understand, though, how I think these people are evil, because what they're doing is these critical race theorists, they want to bring what we call critical race applied principles or crap into these schools.
01:22:49.000Why do you need to be told to stay at home and we'll send you a check?
01:22:51.000You know, I want to get out and I want to work for myself.
01:22:53.000And that's the corruption, that's the undermining of the fabric of America that we see.
01:22:59.000And that is really the liberty and freedom that you're talking about, Ian.
01:23:03.000The ability to go out with your own mind and do for yourself.
01:23:06.000But when they take that away, Then, all of a sudden, you have these young people, like you're saying, that America sucks, America's horrible, America's bad.
01:23:14.000The biggest institutionalization happened over the past year.
01:23:18.000When they locked everybody down, shut down the businesses, and then put them on government payments.
01:23:43.000They put people out of work, they back ended it, and they went and destroyed and decimated the mom-and-pop stores, all the small businesses, and now they are dependent upon the government.
01:23:53.000But I think it's an exploitation of the weakness of many of these people and the circumstances many of these people find themselves in, mostly in cities.
01:24:27.000It kind of started off like, as Americans, we were all kind of decentralized.
01:24:30.000We had our state, we had our local farms, we worked locally, and then It slowly started to federalize over the 1800s and became more and more centralized.
01:24:38.000And now with the internet, it's shattering and decentralizing again because you can see like a guy, a local guy farming makes a YouTube channel, has 1.6 million followers and people start emulating his local behavior locally.
01:24:51.000And you see like Ron DeSantis is a super famous guy who's a governor who like 20 or 30 years ago, you might not even know his name.
01:25:27.000Now for us, we get the applied pressure.
01:25:29.000That's where people mention, hey, I don't get notifications for your videos anymore.
01:25:34.000It's weird that somebody would come and watch this show every day, we do it at 8 p.m., and then YouTube would think they don't like, here's the, YouTube's argument is, if people don't click the notifications and don't engage in the content, we're not gonna notify them anymore, even if they ask for the notifications.
01:25:49.000Then how is it we have people saying, I watch the show every day, I'm not getting notifications anymore, or I was unsubscribed from your channel.
01:25:57.000These are the things that people have been feeling for some time, and it's the pressure they put on you, because here's what they want.
01:26:03.000They isolate the audience that can watch a show like this.
01:26:06.000So that over time, we don't get new viewers, but we slowly, slowly lose viewers.
01:26:58.000And, you know, young people, I just gotta ask, why do you want to hang out with control freaks?
01:27:05.000I mean, if you're on a college campus, why do you want to hang out with the people that are going to tell you what you can see, what you can eat, what you can wear, what you can drive?
01:27:49.000I mean, I remember Schoolhouse Rock, and it kind of taught you how you get to become USARF as a bill, and then you become a law.
01:27:55.000There was never a law that says that we have to wear a mask in airports or, you know, wherever.
01:28:01.000But see, when you are constantly droning people with this messaging and what you see out there in the public space, then all of a sudden people become the mindless lemmings and they just accept it, much the same as you saw in 1984.
01:28:14.000And so, I would say to everybody that's out there, the next time you're in an airport or someplace and someone says that, you know, you have to follow this law, ask the person, show me the law.
01:28:28.000And so we are moving away from being a constitutional republic to being a constitutional monarchy where someone's just sitting back and signing stuff.
01:29:40.000Steve Bannon said something that when these mothers see what their kids are being taught, there's going to be a major revolt and it's going to cause massive change.
01:29:49.000I think when a little kid comes home and tells their mom they're evil and they hate them, the mom's going to be like, what happened to my baby?
01:29:54.000Like, they're not going to stand for that.
01:29:56.000But I'll tell you what makes me really optimistic is what you're talking about with the states.
01:29:59.000The power the states have, and we've seen it.
01:30:01.000Ron DeSantis, hitting it out of the park.
01:30:20.000We should not be sitting around asking for a mother may I from the federal government.
01:30:24.000We should be doing everything possible to protect and secure our border.
01:30:27.000I wanted to follow up on that a little.
01:30:28.000If you were going to establish the National Guard to protect the border, how would that work long term?
01:30:34.000Would they stay there for long periods of time?
01:30:36.000They stay there until we get this thing under control.
01:30:38.000They stay there until we have, you know, driven the cartel into to be irrelevant.
01:30:44.000They stay there until we make sure that we get that situation because you got to stem the flow.
01:30:49.000And then you have the ability to, you know, start the deportation, start arresting people, start getting them out of the state, but you got to stem the flow and no one is stemming the flow right now.
01:30:58.000Would it be like building facilities for them to live at on the border and then you just line up like basically bases, National Guard bases?
01:31:05.000Well, I mean you can set up some temporary type of housing but the bottom line is that you get biometric data and you say have a great day and go back across the Rio Grande River.
01:31:14.000I mean, you're not coming into Texas to hang out, okay?
01:31:18.000You come across, and that's the deterrent.
01:31:22.000That's the deterrent that was there, the remain-in-Mexico policy of President Trump, that the Biden administration flipped.
01:31:28.000And I think it's Section 42, which is the, you know, the COVID emergency order that President Trump put in place.
01:31:37.000If they lift that, then Katie barred the door.
01:31:39.000There's even more people that's going to come across.
01:31:41.000I think it's remarkable that taking control of your borders is racist, according to Democrats.
01:31:49.000Well, you know, like I said, I ain't really black.
01:31:53.000But then again, you know, Tim, that's what I'm saying.
01:31:56.000I'm not responding to those insidious names.
01:32:15.000For those that have not already, give that like button a little tap, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, if you're on iTunes, Spotify, whatever, share the podcast, and check out TimCast.com.
01:32:23.000We're going to have a spicy bonus segment, or members-only podcast episode.
01:32:27.000It'll go up tonight around 11 or so p.m., and we're going to be talking about... I can't give you the full name, I'll just call it the Rainbow Bleep Bleep Monkey, because YouTube, it's a little too spicy for YouTube, but this is serious stuff, what they're doing to children, and it's not just in America, so we'll talk about that.
01:32:40.000Many of you may be familiar with the story, but we're going to get into that one.
01:33:31.000All of the major urban population centers in Texas, Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso are controlled by the left.
01:33:40.000And that's the playbook of the left, is to come in and take over the urban population centers where you see the largest amount of crime and all of these things.
01:33:47.000We have got to get into those urban population centers.
01:33:50.000And exactly what we've done, engaging with the Hispanic community, engaged with the black community, they're conservative in nature.
01:33:55.000We've just got to remind them of that.
01:34:01.000Governor Abbott has made it clear that marijuana decriminalization is off the table while he is in office.
01:34:06.000How do you view the issue of marijuana legalization?
01:34:08.000I support medical marijuana, but as far as legalizing marijuana, look,
01:34:13.000I'm probably not the guy to talk to about that.
01:34:16.000I've never smoked, never drank in my life, definitely never taken drugs, and I don't want to see that become a gateway to something even greater.
01:34:22.000And when you look at some of these other states that have legalized marijuana, such as in Colorado, they have some other issues.
01:34:28.000I know everyone's saying that that's a great boom for the economy, but even 60 Minutes said that it is not going very well as far as the marijuana growth.
01:34:57.000But if you look at what just recently happened, I think about a month and a half ago, here in Washington, D.C., one of the largest fentanyl busts was right here in Washington, D.C.
01:35:06.000Enough fentanyl to kill 21 million Americans.
01:36:27.000Are there any very realistic movies, military movies you'd recommend?
01:36:32.000Well, I will tell you without a doubt, when you look at Black Hawk Down, that was very realistic.
01:36:38.000I loved, you know, Saving Private Ryan.
01:36:40.000I think that Saving Private Ryan, when you saw those opening moments of what happened at D-Day, it reminded people that bullets do hit bodies, and they hurt bodies, because we kind of got this belief after Desert Shield, Desert Storm 30 years ago, that it was kind of like, you know, video games, what have you.
01:36:56.000So, those are the type of movies that I really appreciate.
01:37:00.000And, you know, like I said, last night I was watching the French and Indian War, The Last of the Mohicans.
01:37:49.000I will tell you that, you know, what I saw recently from General Milley, who's the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Chief of Naval Operations also, I'm very concerned about the politicization of our military that we are starting.
01:38:01.000You know, in the military, we take a note to the Constitution.
01:38:03.000But it is almost getting to the point where we're trying to make people take a note to an ideology.
01:38:07.000And critical race theory should not be being implemented in our United States military.
01:38:11.000You cannot have an effective and cohesive force if you're telling one group that they're oppressed and the other group is an oppressor.
01:38:17.000And the other thing that concerns me, the lieutenant colonel who was relieved of command in the Space Force, Because he spoke out against Marxism.
01:38:25.000Well, Marxism is the antithesis to our Constitution.
01:38:28.000So we're getting to the point where we're going to punish commanders in the military for speaking out against something that, once upon a time, I stood on freedom's ramparts, you know, to fight against the old Soviet Union.
01:38:39.000But I will tell you, go into the military, honor your oath that you're taking, and always remember that even after you take off the uniform, your oath remains.
01:38:48.000Brandon L. Martin says Tim, have you thought about bringing on the average voter to the show?
01:38:52.000The well-known political pundits are great, but it would be interesting to see average voters and hear their voices on
01:38:57.000current events we did talk about that for some time getting some like
01:39:00.000regular working-class people onto the show, but actually I think what works better is
01:39:06.000Doing a different show with regular working people. So some kind of either
01:39:11.000One or the other or both panel discussions where we have like a few different people talking, you know
01:39:17.000We can ask questions and then actually just having like an open forum discussion
01:39:22.000The original idea we had was to bring the van to various parts of the country and then do interviews with regular people, just like, come up and talk to us, kind of like change my mind, like Crowder does, but more just, we're not going to argue with you, we're going to ask you basic, like, what do you think about Donald Trump?
01:39:59.000We're also going to be doing short documentaries.
01:40:01.000on the ground investigations. We have now I think we have seven people working in the newsroom so
01:40:07.000far and the site's going to be launching soon. If you were watching earlier we had an alpha
01:40:11.000version you could see the site for a brief moment. There's a lot of work that has to be
01:40:14.000done on it but it's going to be great. Hey I want to touch on Chicken City for a second.
01:40:18.000The early bird is the rooster, by the way.
01:40:21.000He gets he's making sure everybody gets that worm.
01:40:23.000I think that he's screaming the rooster in the morning because he wants to wake people up to eat either because he wants to get fed or he's waking up the other animals to go get the bugs and the worms because it's 440 in the morning.
01:40:34.000No, no, he doesn't scream in the morning.
01:42:01.000And that's one of the things that people are talking about is that can you declare that those seats have been vacated and you can declare for a special election to replace those individuals.
01:42:26.000P. Nilsen says as a Texan, please tell Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, thank you for using his position and helping pass HB 1927 constitutional carry in Texas.
01:42:43.000And doesn't Texas have, like, a course to get a handgun license or something like that?
01:42:47.000Yeah, and that's one of the things that you can still, if you want to go through that course, to get your concealed carry permit, but that gives you reciprocity with other states.
01:42:55.000But if you can pass a background check, I mean, that's your weapon and the Constitution is your permit so you can carry that weapon.
01:43:01.000That's what constitutional carry is all about.
01:43:24.000Probably Chicago might be hard, but the Chicago suburbs are actually fairly moderate.
01:43:28.000And if you go a little bit further out, you'll find a lot of Republicans.
01:43:30.000I mean, Illinois is almost entirely Republican, except for Chicago.
01:43:33.000But I would think that, you know, employees have to start coming together and filing, you know, class action suits to say, you know, you can, you know, I'm here to work.
01:43:41.000I'm here to, these are my duties and responsibilities.
01:43:43.000I'm not here for you to indoctrinate me into a certain ideology.
01:43:53.000Actually, I think YouTube would ban us if I read that one.
01:43:55.000So, you know, sometimes I just keep going.
01:43:58.000James says, I'm glad I'm a TimCast.com supporter, because YouTube is gonna demonetize this video.
01:44:02.000You know, surprisingly, we do get, they demonetize basically every show, and then we put it up for review, and then they monetize it, so we don't really rely on ads on the YouTube version of things.
01:44:14.000We started putting ads on the podcast version of things, but Super Chats help make this show, keep it live.
01:44:20.000There's a lot of risk to being live, because we've had, I think, four instances where people have said things where it's like, YouTube will ban us!
01:44:28.000But who would have ever thought that we would be living in a United States of America where you had to be worried about your speech, your expression, your right to peacefully assemble, or your right to petition your government for redress of grievances?
01:44:43.000I mean, like I said, I'm 60 years of age and I would have never thought that what I saw when I went over through Checkpoint Charlie to East Berlin in 1985 would be happening here.
01:44:53.000I mean, you know, the Stasi and all of this stuff.
01:44:57.000The fact that you have Nancy Pelosi telling the Capitol Hill police that they can go down into Florida and, you know, start to go and investigate people, that's crazy.
01:46:28.000YouTube is the more PG-13, you know, and plus YouTube's got ridiculous communist rules that we would get banned instantly if we said a name, like it's ridiculous.
01:46:40.000But again, it just drives me crazy that there are men and women who have served and sacrificed and committed and lost their lives to defend the Constitution and the rights that you have, your Bill of Rights, and we got these people that are just spitting in your eye.
01:46:55.000This technocracy This technocracy that's building, technocracy rising, I'm done with it.
01:47:02.000We need to free the software code, disassemble power from these things and give it back to the people by creating a free software social network.
01:47:25.000Yeah, instead of having one person represent... Yeah, be careful what you say, because the next thing you're going to say, well, Ian said he wanted to take people out of the equation.
01:47:31.000Instead of having 430 representatives that each person is beholden to, I don't know how many, 70,000 Americans, just have these 70,000 Americans vote yes or no on something.
01:48:01.000Because the fear is that, you know, you don't want a pure democracy.
01:48:04.000A pure democracy leans itself toward tyranny.
01:48:06.000Now, referendums, that's something that you can have at a local level.
01:48:10.000Case in point, the Austin City Council, very far left-leaning, they came out with that homeless camping ordinance.
01:48:16.000The people down in Austin, and Austin's a very blue city, they said, you know, how many petitions, how many signatures do we need to get that on the ballot?
01:49:39.000Bernie, however, for very obvious reasons, is not strong enough to break the door down into the establishment, and Trump was a little bit more than was needed to break the door down.
01:49:49.000I mean, he walked up and just kicked it and stormed in.
01:51:25.000Regarding the idea of parties switching, please explain how the Republicans became the party of small government since the Civil War.
01:51:31.000I thought the Union was the industrialized, populist side of the war.
01:51:36.000Well, I think when you talk about smaller government, what you're looking at is a federal government that is less intrusive.
01:51:41.000They don't want to have the bigger government policies.
01:51:44.000They don't want to be the creation of the... Look at the Great Society programs of Lyndon Johnson, the welfare nanny state that was created.
01:51:56.000And you saw that during the Trump administration where he said, you know, if we're going to create a regulation, I think he was like four or five have to fall off the books.
01:52:03.000That's real constitutional conservatism.
01:52:05.000That's what the Republican Party is supposed to be about when they say the lower taxes, the smaller government, things of that nature.
01:52:12.000But again, being a progressive has nothing to do with the political party.
01:52:17.000It has everything to do with how you see the relationship between the individual and the institution of government.
01:52:22.000And if you believe that the institution of government is sovereign and supreme over the individual, you're a progressive.
01:53:13.000No, I mean, I don't know who you could elevate up there in South Dakota, but again, I think that you're going to see a real, you know, seismic shift across the United States of America.
01:53:23.000And, you know, once upon a time you had those blue dog conservative Democrats, but the progressive left came in and just wiped them all out.
01:53:30.000And I think that you're going to start to see people look in the Republican Party for true constitutional conservatives that believe and, you know, and will stand by what they say on the campaign trail and not like the previous guy said, well, you know, I'll just move a little bit more this way in order to get reelected.
01:53:47.000And then after I'm reelected, I'll go right back to the same way.
01:53:50.000And that has been that, what they call it, the bait and switch that you've seen a lot from people running on the Republican side.
01:53:57.000Look, Donald Trump came in and he did exactly what he said.
01:55:42.000I mean, you find a ping, it pops right out and it's just an awesome weapon.
01:55:45.000What was it that turned the tide of World War Two?
01:55:49.000I think it was the ingenuity of the individual American soldier.
01:55:54.000And if you think about what happened on D-Day, centralized control.
01:55:58.000They could not reposition the German forces without the approval of Adolf Hitler.
01:56:03.000And that just enabled us to maneuver and do what was necessary.
01:56:07.000And we got that foothold into Normandy and then we marched inland across France.
01:56:12.000And don't forget, it was the Soviets who sent wave after wave of their own men to their deaths that overwhelmed the Nazis on the... On Stalingrad.
01:56:32.000They would send people without weapons behind the people with weapons so when they would get killed, they'd run up and take their weapon and keep fighting.
01:57:09.000Down in Kerrville, Texas, 19 years of age, Roman Garcia decides to run for city council against a entrenched progressive socialist and ended up beating her by 12 percentage points.
01:57:20.000And I think that it's so important that we get our young people, instead of telling them to go and door knock and phone bank and everything, let's get them in the city councils.
01:58:43.000I tell you, man, nothing bothered me more than seeing friends of mine, some skateboarders that I knew, posting videos of them being like, I'm doing what needs to be done and dropping their mail-in ballot.
01:58:52.000And they're like, we got to stop Donald Trump.
01:58:54.000And I ask them like, oh, what did Donald Trump do?
01:59:11.000The problem is an ignorant population with no care in the world for community who are saying, I saw something on the TV, so sure, have whatever you want.
01:59:19.000Well, the amazing thing is that you got an organization that calls itself Antifa, which means anti-fascist.
02:01:53.000And they went out in their community, they found good quality people to run for school board, and the margin of victory against the left was 40 percentage points.
02:02:02.000And so that's what you have to start doing.
02:02:04.000At the community level, once again, getting engaged.
02:02:07.000Finding out who is on your school board and finding those candidates can run against them and support them and resource them and then you continue on.
02:02:15.000All right, so we got two pretty important ones.
02:02:17.000We got Scroggs says, I cannot find his governor donation website, Texas Voter.
02:02:37.000Well, I'm similar to Governor Abbott that I'm a Texan and I'm an American.
02:02:41.000I am different from him because I don't believe in begging for permission from the federal government.
02:02:46.000I believe that as a governor, it's your responsibility to protect the people.
02:02:50.000And the other thing that you will never see me do, no elected official has the enumerated power to decide who or what is essential.
02:02:57.000uh... in the state of texas or anywhere in the country the most essential thing
02:03:00.000in america's liberty and benjamin franklin said those who would surrender
02:03:04.000essential liberty for temporary security
02:03:06.000in the end don't deserve neither liberty or security and we'll lose both
02:03:10.000that's right, lose both julian mcbain says republicans and libertarians need to
02:03:15.000dump money into deep blue districts to see things change
02:03:19.000i think that's actually important yeah you gotta go in behind enemy lines
02:03:22.000And so, you know, as the chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, you know, you sit down and you look at the battlefield and you see what, what is the enemy going to do?
02:03:30.000Because you've got to base your plan on what the enemy wants to do.
02:03:32.000So the Democrats wanted to go after the suburban soccer mom.
02:03:35.000They wanted to go orange man bad, Trump is hateful, he's a misogynist, whatever.
02:03:39.000And so I said, let's go into the Rio Grande Valley.
02:03:42.000We have never gone down and engaged, and let's connect with the Hispanic community, get them to understand that they're conservative in nature, and look at what happened.
02:03:49.000And that was the news story about how we flipped the Rio Grande Valley in November 2020.
02:05:05.000But I had heard rumors of it, and I guess it's confirmed.
02:05:09.000I know that my dear friend Hershel Walker is moving back to Georgia to run for Senate there.
02:05:14.000And I also know that there's a gentleman, another black Republican by the name of Vernon Jones, who has thrown his hat in the ring for running for governor of Georgia.
02:05:24.000And understand this, in the history of the United States of America, there has never been a black Republican elected governor.
02:05:54.000Anyway, thanks for hanging out, everybody.
02:05:56.000We're going to have a special members-only show coming up at TimCast.com, so sign up.

02:06:37.000But I believe, Lieutenant Colonel West, you have a website or some social media you want to shout out?
02:07:39.000Talk about... That movie was fantastic.
02:07:41.000Yeah, we're all armed with guns in the United States, but Trench Warfare, 25,000 people, 250,000 Frenchmen would die one day as 200,000 Germans in one day, in one battle.
02:08:08.000So Antietam is not far from you all here.
02:08:10.000And of course, Gettysburg is an incredible battlefield.
02:08:13.000It's still preserved and you get eerie chills when you stand there and just, you know, being at the Little Round Top or some of the other places.
