Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Democrats Flee Texas To Illegally Stop Voter Protection Law Passing w-LtCol Allen West

00:00:00.000 Since the election, Republicans have been passing a series of, I guess you can call

00:00:21.000 them voter reform laws, that seek to kind of pull back a lot of the leeways that were 1.00

00:00:26.000 given because of the pandemic.

00:00:28.000 To make it simple, because of the pandemic, we made voting very, very easy, and with that ease comes a lot of insecurity.

00:00:35.000 So 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.

00:00:39.000 But for the most part, a lot of these bills still leave a lot of open space for Democrats.

00:00:45.000 That'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.

00:00:54.000 Right now in Texas, there's supposed to be a special session where they're going to vote to actually have some of these reforms.

00:01:01.000 But the Democrats have fled on three private jets to D.C.

00:01:05.000 illegally to block what's called a quorum.

00:01:07.000 So we're gonna talk about this.

00:01:08.000 And we've also got a bunch of other stories.

00:01:09.000 South Africa has It is getting crazy.

00:01:13.000 I mean, the looting, the violence, the rioting is so severe.

00:01:16.000 You're seeing videos of citizens just shooting at rioters.

00:01:20.000 There's even videos purporting to show police officers joining in the looting.

00:01:23.000 I 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.

00:01:30.000 And 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.

00:01:37.000 Lieutenant Colonel Allen West is joining us.

00:01:39.000 It's good to be back with you, Tim.

00:01:40.000 Thanks for having me.

00:01:41.000 Right on.

00:01:41.000 Do you want to just do a quick little 30-second intro?

00:01:43.000 Just tell people who you are?

00:01:44.000 Well, just, you know, 22-year combat veteran, United States Army.

00:01:48.000 Also a former member of the United States House of Representatives.

00:01:51.000 Been living there in Texas since 2014.

00:01:54.000 I'm the former chairman of the Republican Party of Texas.

00:01:56.000 I submitted my resignation on the 4th of June and on the 4th of July announced my candidacy for the governor of Texas.

00:02:04.000 Did people see that one coming?

00:02:06.000 I think a lot of people thought that it was something out there, you know, but we kind of kept people at bay.

00:02:12.000 But 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.

00:02:19.000 We'll talk about that, too, because Texas is one of the states that people really love.

00:02:22.000 I mean, for one, everyone loves Texas.

00:02:24.000 But considering what happened with the lockdowns, Texas and Florida are way up there with what people appreciate.

00:02:28.000 So we'll get into all that stuff, too.

00:02:30.000 We got Ian Chilling.

00:02:31.000 What up, everybody?

00:02:32.000 Ian Crossland over here.

00:02:33.000 Alan, good to see you again, man.

00:02:34.000 Good to be back, man.

00:02:35.000 I'm excited to hear your story about how you winded down with the head of the Republican... What was it?

00:02:41.000 The head of the Republican Party.

00:02:42.000 Republican Party of Texas, yeah.

00:02:43.000 And how the transition was.

00:02:44.000 So let's get into that in a little while.

00:02:46.000 Yeah.

00:02:46.000 I'm also here in the corner.

00:02:47.000 I'm very excited to hear some more of Lieutenant Colonel Allen West.

00:02:51.000 Miss Producer. 0.99

00:02:52.000 That's right.

00:02:52.000 I'm here.

00:02:53.000 I'm very special.

00:02:53.000 I want to hear that wisdom, so I'm excited to get into it tonight.

00:02:56.000 Okay.

00:02:56.000 Oh my gosh.

00:02:57.000 Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com, become a member, and you'll be doing two things.

00:03:10.000 It's a big story that we probably are We'll save that one for the members only.

00:03:15.000 It's about a rainbow monkey.

00:03:16.000 You may have heard this one.

00:03:17.000 But we're going to save that for the after show because this one's going to get probably too spicy for YouTube.

00:03:21.000 But become a member because not only are you doing that, but you're helping us expand.

00:03:24.000 And you're actually going to get a preview, for those that are watching, of what the new website is going to look like.

00:03:31.000 It 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.

00:03:38.000 So you're going to see the site's going to look fantastic, and then you'll know what your membership helps support.

00:03:43.000 So 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.

00:03:57.000 As most of you probably know, The big tech companies censor.

00:04:00.000 They just censored Donald Trump's speech at CPAC, where he was talking about censorship.

00:04:04.000 It's beautifully ironic.

00:04:05.000 It's a firetruck on fire.

00:04:07.000 There's one thing they can't stop, though, when an individual decides to share content that doesn't fall outside of their nebulous guidelines.

00:04:15.000 They're always trying to change the rules and argue something, but as long as the content can exist, they'll try to suppress it.

00:04:20.000 Soft power.

00:04:21.000 Soft pressure to shut it down.

00:04:23.000 When you share it, you overcome every obstacle they throw in our path.

00:04:27.000 But keep that in mind for all of your favorite channels, be it Crowder, 6X and Hammer, or anybody else.

00:04:31.000 You got to be sharing that content.

00:04:32.000 So let's read this first story.

00:04:33.000 Let's just jump right into it.

00:04:34.000 We got NBC News reporting, Texas Democrats flee state in effort to block GOP-backed voting restrictions.

00:04:43.000 The lawmakers are on their way to Washington to advocate for federal voting rights legislation, risking arrest by leaving during the special session.

00:04:51.000 I just want to point out very quickly, I love how it's always framed in the media.

00:04:55.000 Voting restrictions!

00:04:57.000 Voting suppression.

00:04:58.000 You give them an inch, they take a mile.

00:04:59.000 Absolutely.

00:05:00.000 And 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.

00:05:10.000 And the title of that op-ed piece was, How Coronavirus Should Permanently Change Elections in America.

00:05:16.000 And what did they lay out?

00:05:17.000 They lay out the fact that they were going to use universal mail-in ballots, which is different from absentee balloting.

00:05:22.000 Absentee balloting is a control mechanism.

00:05:25.000 You have to send in, like in the military, you have to send in requests for the ballot and it's sent back to you.

00:05:29.000 Controlled, absolutely.

00:05:31.000 But they're talking about just flooding the zone with ballots that are out there.

00:05:34.000 And 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.

00:05:42.000 The county clerk down there wanted to mail out 2.7 million ballots against a voter registration roll that had never been reviewed.

00:05:50.000 Wow.

00:05:51.000 And I think if 2.7 million ballots had just gotten out there in Texas, which Donald Trump only won by 620,000.

00:05:55.000 Now that's the type of thing that they want to have.

00:05:58.000 They want to have 24-hour voting in Texas.

00:06:01.000 So I guess we're going to have polling locations at Waffle House and Denny's and things of that nature.

00:06:05.000 Unchecked.

00:06:07.000 Nobody watching.

00:06:08.000 And then the other thing they want is curbside voting. 0.51

00:06:10.000 Now curbside voting in the Texas Constitution is very clearly defined.

00:06:15.000 If 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.

00:06:23.000 They just want curbside voting anywhere. 0.95

00:06:26.000 As a matter of fact, that exact same person, Chris Holland, set up nine different curbside voting locations all across Harris County.

00:06:32.000 Now, those are the type of things that we're trying to eliminate from happening.

00:06:36.000 Signature verification.

00:06:38.000 Stop 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.

00:06:46.000 But what is so funny, Tim, because you know I just flew up here to D.C.

00:06:51.000 I was on an American Airlines plane.

00:06:53.000 I had to wear a mask and everything.

00:06:55.000 But there's a picture of these Democrats flying up here on the private jets.

00:06:58.000 And guess who's sitting on the front row of one of those private jets without a mask?

00:07:03.000 My state representative, Retta Bowers, throwing up the peace sign.

00:07:07.000 So I really do feel represented.

00:07:08.000 Thanks a lot, Retta.

00:07:10.000 Real quick, I also bet to get on that plane, you had to show an ID.

00:07:15.000 I bet they didn't.

00:07:16.000 On me?

00:07:16.000 No, you.

00:07:17.000 I had to show an ID.

00:07:18.000 Were you able to board the plane curbside?

00:07:20.000 No, I was not able to board the plane curbside.

00:07:22.000 And I had to be on time.

00:07:24.000 It was not a 24-hour window for me to board the plane.

00:07:26.000 Did the plane come to your house unannounced without you asking for it and then offer you a ride?

00:07:31.000 I don't really have a good runway.

00:07:34.000 See, it's funny.

00:07:35.000 I mean, obviously I'm being a little bit facetious, but with these voting restrictions, it eliminates a lot of the security.

00:07:40.000 Basic, basic security.

00:07:42.000 I mean, during the primaries, when I was in New Jersey, I got a mail-in ballot for somebody who did not live at my house.

00:07:42.000 Curbside.

00:07:51.000 And I don't know why.

00:07:53.000 It was a legit full ballot, and what am I supposed to do with it?

00:07:56.000 It's not mine.

00:07:57.000 I don't know.

00:07:58.000 It's election mail.

00:07:59.000 I don't want to touch it.

00:08:00.000 Yeah, but when you combine that with ballot harvesting, Oh yeah.

00:08:04.000 See that's what the left wants.

00:08:09.000 And 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.

00:08:20.000 Well, the Constitution does not give the federal government any enumerated power.

00:08:24.000 It has not delegated any power for them to run elections in the United States of America.

00:08:28.000 There's no centralized control, but that's one of the socialist tenets, is nationalizing production.

00:08:34.000 Not just economic production, but also we see elections.

00:08:38.000 They have to do it one grain at a time.

00:08:40.000 They can't just come out.

00:08:41.000 But this H.R.

00:08:41.000 1 that they're trying to do federally, it effectively nationalizes elections.

00:08:47.000 This is lost on Democrats.

00:08:49.000 It's the craziest thing because it's not a Republican issue.

00:08:51.000 It's basic American civics.

00:08:55.000 Senators represent a state to the federal government because we are a union of sovereign states.

00:08:59.000 Free and independent states, that's what the Declaration says.

00:09:01.000 So they, each state has their election and determines who they want to submit as electors.

00:09:01.000 Yeah.

00:09:05.000 Yeah.

00:09:06.000 They want, they want, I don't, I don't know where this myth or this lie comes from,

00:09:10.000 but you have a very large uneducated population of people who genuinely believe a national popular vote makes sense

00:09:16.000 because they don't understand that we are a United States of America.

00:09:20.000 Absolutely. And it's a representative democracy.

00:09:22.000 So now all of a sudden, when you read H.R.

00:09:25.000 1, what does H.R.

00:09:26.000 1 say?

00:09:26.000 H.R.

00:09:27.000 1 says that there will be no picture I.D.

00:09:30.000 anywhere in the United States of America.

00:09:31.000 Really?

00:09:32.000 There will be no voter registration roll review anywhere in the United States of America.

00:09:36.000 Really?

00:09:37.000 That there are going to be universal mail-in ballots.

00:09:38.000 That's going to be the standard all across the United States of America.

00:09:41.000 So basically, we're just going to mail out ballots all over the place and people can fill them out like you just talked about.

00:09:47.000 It's like treating our elections like a raffle.

00:09:50.000 You know, I don't know, you got a ticket, it's got a number on it, right?

00:09:52.000 Congratulations, you won the prize.

00:09:53.000 Well, 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.

00:10:06.000 I mean, you know, I would, you know, everyone remember the purple finger?

00:10:10.000 Well, now, I mean, I don't think we have any way of really determining who's been voting out there.

00:10:15.000 Where were you when you were trying to set up the voting system?

00:10:17.000 That was in Iraq.

00:10:18.000 I mean, in Iraq and then also in Afghanistan.

00:10:20.000 We were trying to implement these democratic principles and fundamentals.

00:10:25.000 And now, here in the United States of America, we're eroding and undermining our democratic principles and fundamentals.

00:10:31.000 We used to be the gold standard.

00:10:32.000 Show me another country.

00:10:34.000 In the world, that says, we're just going to mail out ballots.

00:10:37.000 Yeah, without checking.

00:10:39.000 Without checking.

00:10:39.000 That to me is absolutely insane.

00:10:41.000 Well, it is insane, but that's how you get the one party control, which is exactly what the progressive socialists want in America.

00:10:48.000 You know, I look at, you want your voting system to be a well-oiled machine, where each part of that process is mappable.

00:10:53.000 You can track, this piece goes to this piece, to this piece, to this piece.

00:10:57.000 So 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.

00:11:04.000 Now it seems like they're just trying to turn it into a splotch.

00:11:07.000 You 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.

00:11:07.000 They are.

00:11:19.000 So this caused a federal judge to say, do over.

00:11:21.000 We can't have that.

00:11:24.000 How are we supposed to have confidence in the system?

00:11:26.000 Well, you can't.

00:11:27.000 And this is what has happened, and it's not coincidental.

00:11:31.000 So 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.

00:11:43.000 We'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.

00:11:51.000 Well, before we get into all that, I want to mention something about that.

00:11:54.000 You know those people get represented in the electoral vote regardless of whether or not they cast a vote.

00:11:59.000 That's because the the left does not believe that the census should be based upon citizenship.

00:12:05.000 They want the census to be based upon numbers and so they're flooding it in because they want to have what?

00:12:10.000 They want to have those districts that will lean more so toward the Democrats.

00:12:15.000 I think it was Tucker Carlson.

00:12:16.000 He was saying that Democrats want illegal immigrants because they want votes.

00:12:19.000 Something to that effect.

00:12:20.000 I think it was Tucker.

00:12:21.000 And the media went nuts.

00:12:23.000 It's funny when you can tell when someone's over target. 1.00

00:12:25.000 When they're like, oh, he's a racist and a white supremacist. 0.96

00:12:29.000 And he's technically right, but he misses one piece of it. 0.93

00:12:32.000 Democrats don't need illegal immigrants to go and vote. 0.95

00:12:36.000 They just need the census. 0.53

00:12:37.000 So 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.

00:12:46.000 The illegal immigrants are counted on the census.

00:12:49.000 Congressional seats are then apportioned based on the census number, not the amount of citizens.

00:12:53.000 And then you get electoral votes based on how many votes you have.

00:12:55.000 And think about what you just said.

00:12:56.000 What just happened in this last round of the census?

00:12:59.000 California lost an electoral seat.

00:13:02.000 And New York, I think, too, right?

00:13:03.000 And New York, too.

00:13:04.000 And guess who picked up two?

00:13:06.000 Texas.

00:13:07.000 Wow.

00:13:07.000 Right when you have the open borders and everything that's happening.

00:13:07.000 Nice.

00:13:10.000 And why did you see them all?

00:13:12.000 Remember, 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.

00:13:24.000 To be fair, though, California's got some pretty open border policies.

00:13:27.000 I mean, they're offering up health care to illegal immigrants under a certain age.

00:13:30.000 So, you know, they ended up losing, I think, because of the mass exodus.

00:13:33.000 But I'll also throw this out there as well.

00:13:36.000 Texas did gain, but I think people are fleeing California into Texas.

00:13:39.000 And there are two types of people that are fleeing.

00:13:39.000 They are.

00:13:42.000 Not just California, but Illinois, New York, New Jersey, coming into Texas, and other successful red states.

00:13:46.000 You have those people that have given up.

00:13:48.000 They say, I'm tired of it.

00:13:49.000 I'm a conservative.

00:13:50.000 I want to go somewhere where I can live under conservative principles and policies.

00:13:54.000 But then you also have the folks that are part of the transplanted workforce.

00:13:58.000 When you pick up and you move a corporation or business.

00:14:01.000 Like we've seen State Farm, Liberty Mutual, Toyota North America, Elon Musk coming out of these places.

00:14:06.000 And 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.

00:14:15.000 But don't come here to Texas, which you're trying to come here because you want to benefit from our economic policies.

00:14:20.000 And the next thing you know, it's, I call it the locust effect.

00:14:24.000 Because California used to be a strong red state.

00:14:27.000 Oh yeah, until like what, 92 I think.

00:14:28.000 Absolutely, and look what happened.

00:14:30.000 Yeah, 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.

00:14:39.000 And then there's like a cowboy in Texas like, whoa, don't bring that with you.

00:14:42.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:14:43.000 You 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.

00:14:50.000 And we need to have people turn in that blue card and we can give them a red card.

00:14:54.000 Yeah, you got to vote this way.

00:14:55.000 I mean, I moved out of Philly and we're now basically in West Virginia.

00:14:58.000 And I've got a bunch of people here, like, you know, I went to a store.

00:15:01.000 It was really funny.

00:15:03.000 Cause they were talking about all these liberals are moving out here and you can tell.

00:15:06.000 And then I laugh and I'm like, yeah, I'm one of them.

00:15:08.000 I moved from Philly.

00:15:08.000 And then there's eyes just like, oh yeah, they squint.

00:15:10.000 And then I went, don't worry.

00:15:11.000 Don't worry.

00:15:11.000 I'm not going to vote for any of their, you know, people.

00:15:13.000 Cause I'm, I'm jaded.

00:15:14.000 And they went, oh, okay.

00:15:15.000 All right.

00:15:15.000 Well vote Republican.

00:15:16.000 And I was like, if they're good, if they're good, I'm not, I'm not playing those games anymore.

00:15:20.000 You know?

00:15:20.000 Well, 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.

00:15:30.000 It's about your principles and values.

00:15:31.000 It's the ideology.

00:15:32.000 It's the philosophy of governance.

00:15:34.000 Because you can have Republicans that are progressives.

00:15:37.000 You can have Republicans that believe in big government spending and things of that nature.

00:15:40.000 As a matter of fact, the United States Chamber of Commerce supports open borders.

00:15:44.000 Because they want cheap labor. 0.99

00:15:44.000 Why? 0.99

00:15:46.000 And that still hurts people, too.

00:15:47.000 So 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.

00:15:56.000 This 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.

00:16:05.000 And I'm like, no, I think we got to make a lot of changes to that system.

00:16:07.000 I just don't want to burn it down.

00:16:09.000 And 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?

00:16:15.000 And so I actually, on the political compass, I'm fairly left libertarian.

00:16:19.000 But I think there's something that easily, like you can easily understand this.

00:16:24.000 I think you and I like America, the Constitution.

00:16:27.000 We like the country, we like our borders.

00:16:28.000 We like our freedom.

00:16:29.000 And there's like a difference in policy ideas.

00:16:32.000 But 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.

00:16:42.000 And I know it might sound a little bit hyperbolic or exaggerated to say, like this, oh, liberals hate America.

00:16:47.000 But I mean, think about this.

00:16:48.000 When 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?

00:17:00.000 They're not going to say those things.

00:17:01.000 And 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.

00:17:01.000 They're not.

00:17:12.000 You got a picture downstairs in your basement of David Dorn.

00:17:15.000 Yeah, we do.

00:17:16.000 And that was the police officer that was killed because of the violent protests that Cori Bush led.

00:17:22.000 Murderous riots.

00:17:23.000 A murderous riot.

00:17:24.000 And now she's sitting in the United States House of Representatives, a member of the House Judiciary Committee.

00:17:28.000 But Cori Bush stood there and said that blacks in America still aren't free. 0.88

00:17:33.000 And I'm thinking, okay.

00:17:35.000 I was born in a blacks-only hospital in 1961.

00:17:37.000 How am I not free?

00:17:40.000 But 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.

00:17:48.000 I'm owed something.

00:17:48.000 I need reparations.

00:17:49.000 I need all of these things.

00:17:51.000 And 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.

00:17:58.000 I 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.

00:18:08.000 Yeah.

00:18:09.000 State 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.

00:18:20.000 G.T.

00:18:20.000 Ruby, Texas State House of Representatives.

00:18:23.000 And 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.

00:18:31.000 Those 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.

00:18:41.000 Yeah, you're absolutely right.

00:18:42.000 And see, what they also prove is that they were not defined by what they were.

00:18:47.000 They were defined by what they would become.

00:18:49.000 That's the legacy.

00:18:49.000 Absolutely.

00:18:51.000 That's the legacy.

00:18:52.000 But you mentioned Cori Bush.

00:18:53.000 There's one other person who also helped lead the charge for these riots.

00:18:58.000 And I want to bring this up because I have a question about this.

00:18:59.000 That person obviously was Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:19:01.000 She tweeted out the link to donate to rioters who, I mean, some of these people, I'm not

00:19:07.000 going to list their crimes, but there's some very serious crimes some of these rioters

00:19:11.000 had committed.

00:19:12.000 And she just blanket says, we're gonna, you know, raise money to bail them out.

00:19:15.000 She said, the Texas House Democrats protest, that's what she calls it, a protest, shows extraordinary courage.

00:19:20.000 So 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?

00:19:29.000 Yeah.

00:19:30.000 And Kamala Harris, I wonder if there's like a, is it illegal to encourage someone to commit a crime?

00:19:35.000 Am I going too far by her saying it's just courage?

00:19:39.000 Did she actually encourage them to do it?

00:19:42.000 Well, we call that being an accessory.

00:19:45.000 And people go to jail for being an accessory.

00:19:48.000 But remember that the Texas Democrats, they did that in the final days of our regular session at the end of May.

00:19:54.000 And they took a trip up here to Washington, D.C.

00:19:56.000 They were met by the vice president, and she called them courageous and all of these things.

00:20:01.000 So, this has already been in the books.

00:20:03.000 This was cooked up.

00:20:04.000 You 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.

00:20:14.000 They're up here playing around in Washington, D.C.

00:20:17.000 You 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.

00:20:30.000 Yeah, that's like the last barrier to the system falling apart.

00:20:34.000 Because it's one thing when you have everyone saying, okay, we agree these are the rules, now let's play the game.

00:20:39.000 Now 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.

00:20:46.000 We gotta change the, everybody come here, we're changing the rules, we all agree.

00:20:48.000 It's like, no, no, no, no, something's up.

00:20:50.000 If 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.

00:20:58.000 That sounds like how you lose a country.

00:21:01.000 And when you allow them to take such petulant actions, let's just put it this way.

00:21:05.000 If 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?

00:21:17.000 It is the story.

00:21:18.000 Republican voter suppression across the country.

00:21:20.000 Yeah, but that's how they flip it.

00:21:21.000 Right.

00:21:22.000 Just the same as when Jen Psaki comes out and says Republicans want to defund the police.

00:21:28.000 These guys are masterful in how they can manipulate language.

00:21:32.000 I mean, all of a sudden they have redefined what infrastructure is.

00:21:36.000 And so what we've got to do, we've got to get better with that.

00:21:39.000 We've got to have that little strategic cell that sits down and thinks about where they're going to go and how do we block it.

00:21:46.000 We've got to talk about freedom.

00:21:47.000 The word, the definition, what does it mean?

00:21:50.000 It's an anti-government slogan.

00:21:51.000 Apparently now, yeah.

00:21:53.000 Screaming freedom in Cuba is anti-government.

00:21:56.000 It is!

00:21:57.000 So we gotta define freedom.

00:21:57.000 What is freedom?

00:21:58.000 I don't have the freedom to go next door and rip food out of the guy's refrigerator.

00:22:01.000 I don't have the freedom to throw you guys against the wall.

00:22:03.000 I don't have freedom in that sense.

00:22:05.000 We have created restrictions for a society in which we gain certain types of freedom.

00:22:10.000 And 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.

00:22:22.000 Let's put it this way to help clarify your point.

00:22:26.000 If you had an electrical current go into water, those electrons are just free to mill about.

00:22:32.000 You're not going to solve any equations with it.

00:22:34.000 But if you restrict the flow of those electrons, you can solve complex equations.

00:22:38.000 Computers can strict the flow, they restrict.

00:22:41.000 And so I think about this voting stuff, and restriction is a false framing.

00:22:45.000 They're trying to make it seem like Republicans are trying to take away people's rights.

00:22:49.000 When in actuality, it's about securing the process which guarantees your rights so that someone can't come in and steal it.

00:22:55.000 For 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.

00:23:08.000 Absolutely, but the thing is that, let's put it in a historical context, if we want to talk about voting.

00:23:13.000 Who has always been the party that was against voting rights?

00:23:16.000 Who has always been the party that was about voting suppression?

00:23:19.000 Okay, 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.

00:23:30.000 They also voted against the 14th Amendment.

00:23:32.000 They've taken that equal protection under the law clause and they perverted it.

00:23:36.000 The Democrats were the ones that came up with Jim Crow. 0.65

00:23:38.000 So I really do find it kind of laughable when, you know, everyone's saying Jim Crow 2.0.

00:23:43.000 Well, you guys should know about Jim Crow because you started it. 0.97

00:23:46.000 Or you talk about the literacy tests and the poll taxes.

00:23:49.000 When you talk about the Ku Klux Klan, why was the Ku Klux Klan founded?

00:23:53.000 The Ku Klux Klan was founded for voter suppression to keep blacks from being able to go out and vote.

00:23:57.000 The same type of blacks that founded the Republican Party of Texas and those gentlemen who became some early pioneers.

00:24:03.000 And 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.

00:24:09.000 When you want to talk about systemic racism, it's you guys.

00:24:13.000 Oh, they would know.

00:24:14.000 I love that.

00:24:14.000 I love how they push the party switched line.

00:24:19.000 It's amazing to me that you have people who don't read the news, don't read history.

00:24:23.000 They read headlines.

00:24:24.000 They read headlines.

00:24:25.000 I know a lot of people from Chicago.

00:24:26.000 People I've known my whole life.

00:24:28.000 And they tweet things like, I'll be talking to them, and they'll say, yeah, well, the party's switched.

00:24:32.000 And I go, when?

00:24:33.000 Well, it was like, you know, like a couple decades ago, like the Republicans decided to be Democrats.

00:24:37.000 And I was like, why?

00:24:40.000 You know what?

00:24:41.000 They don't have an answer.

00:24:42.000 I 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.

00:24:48.000 And they have no idea what it means.

00:24:50.000 They have no idea about the history or the arguments.

00:24:52.000 They just go along with it.

00:24:54.000 And that's what they throw at you when you try to point that out.

00:24:55.000 Robert Byrd, you say you're close to West Virginia.

00:24:57.000 Robert Byrd, Senator from West Virginia, was always a Democrat.

00:25:02.000 He was also a Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan. 0.69

00:25:05.000 And he's the exact same guy that who eulogized him at his funeral?

00:25:09.000 Joe Biden.

00:25:10.000 Yep. 0.99

00:25:10.000 And there's the same Joe Biden who referred to black men as predators. 0.99

00:25:14.000 Now, 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.

00:25:28.000 Or 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.

00:25:40.000 Well, 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.

00:25:49.000 And so they're trying to steal history.

00:25:51.000 And you're right.

00:25:52.000 They just put out the soundbite.

00:25:54.000 And so, yes, the party switched.

00:25:56.000 And people just say, OK.

00:25:57.000 And the more you say that, the more you say that, people start to believe it.

00:26:00.000 But when you anecdotally look at it, think about this, Tim.

00:26:03.000 The longest filibuster in U.S.

00:26:06.000 Senate history.

00:26:08.000 Senate Democrats against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

00:26:11.000 And 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.

00:26:22.000 Democrats filibustering civil rights.

00:26:24.000 Okay.

00:26:24.000 From then, where was it where we were having these police brutality problems?

00:26:30.000 And still to this day, the left says they're police brutality problems.

00:26:34.000 Well, it's New York, it's L.A., it's Chicago.

00:26:37.000 Who runs those cities?

00:26:38.000 Yeah.

00:26:38.000 They're not run by Republicans.

00:26:40.000 You look at redlining and blockbusting. 1.00

00:26:42.000 Where were those policies implemented?

00:26:44.000 Why, that was Chicago.

00:26:45.000 I'm sorry, I thought Chicago's been Democrat since, like, what, the 20s?

00:26:49.000 The greatest amount of failure is in all of these Democrat cities.

00:26:53.000 The 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.

00:27:03.000 But yeah, I have yet to see, you know, Ms.

00:27:05.000 Patrice Cullors of, you know, Black Lives Matter, the avowed Marxist that has three multi-million dollar properties.

00:27:10.000 I barely have a house, you know, just like $450,000.

00:27:14.000 But yet I've never seen her go to Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, D.C., Philadelphia or any of these places.

00:27:20.000 I gotta correct you, though.

00:27:21.000 I think, actually, she has five houses.

00:27:24.000 But they're only like half a million each, and one of them's over a million.

00:27:28.000 I could be wrong, though.

00:27:29.000 I think it's five.

00:27:30.000 Okay.

00:27:31.000 Well, I know there's three.

00:27:32.000 I thought three were multi-million.

00:27:33.000 Maybe the other two kind of bring the value down.

00:27:35.000 I think what happened was people reported she had a multi-million dollar house empire. 1.00

00:27:39.000 But I'm pretty sure a lot of them are like half a million.

00:27:39.000 Okay.

00:27:41.000 But I thought Marxists were all about, you know, wealth redistribution.

00:27:45.000 You thought, right?

00:27:47.000 You know, how many people live in that house?

00:27:48.000 I mean, shouldn't you have like whole families living in a house with it?

00:27:52.000 You know, as do as I say, not as I do.

00:27:54.000 There was a story a while ago.

00:27:55.000 We looked up the data.

00:27:56.000 The Washington Post ran the data.

00:27:57.000 The crime per capita and the crime by population.

00:28:01.000 And the funny thing is, When you look at crime by general population, it's like, number one is New York.

00:28:09.000 But sure, it's not really fair to look at the top 10 cities and say, who has the most crime?

00:28:14.000 Aha, New York.

00:28:15.000 Well, yeah, New York's got a massive population.

00:28:18.000 We look at per capita.

00:28:19.000 And the funny thing is, per capita, you actually have to remove some Republican cities, or at the time, Republican mayors.

00:28:27.000 because it's all Democrats.

00:28:29.000 And so the left's response to this is, well, Democrats tend to run bigger cities.

00:28:33.000 And I'm like, that doesn't mean anything.

00:28:35.000 Why do they tend to run bigger cities? 0.87

00:28:37.000 I don't know, but I'll tell you this.

00:28:39.000 If I can grow up in Chicago and you've got Democrats running it for generations

00:28:44.000 and they've not solved these problems of racism and blockbusting and redlining and segregation,

00:28:48.000 when will you be like, we need to stop voting for these people?

00:28:52.000 Because remember that movie, Shawshank Redemption?

00:28:54.000 Oh yeah, great movie.

00:28:55.000 I remember when Brooks, you know, he had been there in the institution for so long, then finally he got to be free.

00:29:02.000 But 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.

00:29:09.000 Yeah.

00:29:10.000 And so I think that you have gotten this institutional mentality of victimhood.

00:29:15.000 That 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.

00:29:24.000 You know, you start to look at a lot of the fast food restaurants and places like that.

00:29:28.000 They're suffering because people are getting paid to stay at home and not work.

00:29:31.000 I think that we have this dependency cycle that is happening.

00:29:35.000 And when you read Alexander Frazier Titler's, his, you know, Democracy Can't Exist as a Permanent Form of Government, you read that cycle.

00:29:42.000 The cycle starts with dependence, but then as you go through it, you end up coming right back to dependence.

00:29:49.000 And I think that is what is happening.

00:29:51.000 And one of the critical points is that you get that apathy.

00:29:55.000 And that's what we see happening here in the United States of America, where people are just comfortable.

00:30:00.000 They're complacent in being a victim.

00:30:02.000 And 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.

00:30:11.000 And what conservatism, what America was founded on was the individual is a victor. 0.94

00:30:17.000 You 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.

00:30:24.000 So 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.

00:30:34.000 And I'm like, thank you for admitting it.

00:30:35.000 We've long suspected it.

00:30:37.000 But I think, you know, as many people have pointed out, it's like the soft bigotry of low expectations.

00:30:41.000 Absolutely. 0.76

00:30:42.000 Or, I think it's, as Carl Benjamin calls it, white supremacists with guilty consciences.

00:30:47.000 Well, 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. 0.88

00:30:53.000 And that's how, I gotta tell you, white folks get hoodwinked.

00:30:57.000 Y'all getting hoodwinked, man. 0.97

00:30:58.000 I mean, someone comes up to you and says you're a white supremacist or racist, you just say, yeah, get out of here. 0.95

00:31:03.000 I mean, stop this.

00:31:04.000 But, yeah, oh, please don't call me that.

00:31:07.000 I'll do whatever you want.

00:31:08.000 I'm a corporate CEO.

00:31:10.000 Here's $10 million Black Lives Matter.

00:31:12.000 Don't talk to me like that.

00:31:13.000 They don't want to break through their window.

00:31:14.000 They don't want to fire.

00:31:15.000 Well, you know what?

00:31:16.000 That's why we had a Second Amendment. 0.99

00:31:17.000 You throw a brick through my window, something's going to happen.

00:31:20.000 We had Yeonmi Park on the show.

00:31:22.000 She escaped North Korea, basically.

00:31:25.000 Was that the one that talked at the school board meeting here?

00:31:27.000 No, that was Asra.

00:31:29.000 I don't know if she talked here, but she's the one fighting at schools. 1.00

00:31:31.000 Yeonmi was a North Korean defector.

00:31:33.000 And she was saying how freedom is terrifying, hard, and scary.

00:31:36.000 And 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.

00:31:41.000 She didn't want to make the wrong decision.

00:31:43.000 And she was so used to being told what to do.

00:31:44.000 So 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.

00:31:53.000 You've got to grab it yourself.

00:31:55.000 They will vote to maintain those institutions.

00:31:57.000 And the Democrats, I think, are trying to not necessarily...

00:32:01.000 I don't think it's as overt, but I think it's a pressure.

00:32:04.000 They're applying a certain pressure so that in a long enough amount of time, they will

00:32:07.000 generate more institutionalized voters.

00:32:10.000 So I think what's interesting is there's long been this trope that Democrats want Hispanic

00:32:16.000 voters and they're going to bring in illegal immigrants because they want to give them 1.00

00:32:22.000 a path of citizenship.

00:32:23.000 The interesting thing is that when you see in South Texas how the Hispanic area has actually voted Republican.

00:32:27.000 Oh, I know.

00:32:28.000 We've done an incredible job of flipping the Rio Grande Valley.

00:32:31.000 For the first time in 36 years, we have a Republican mayor down in the Rio Grande Valley.

00:32:35.000 We have a 19-year-old city council member, Roman Garcia, in Kerrville, Texas.

00:32:40.000 But you just brought up a great point.

00:32:41.000 And this, you know, I'm not really smart.

00:32:42.000 The army teaches you to carry a 3x5 car, so all you know.

00:32:45.000 That is smart.

00:32:46.000 But I want to share this quote with you all and with the audience.

00:32:49.000 The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow.

00:32:55.000 They 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.

00:33:09.000 You know, it's brilliant.

00:33:12.000 It is brilliant because I tweeted about this today.

00:33:14.000 There's a video that I saw.

00:33:17.000 Cassandra Fairbanks tweeted in response to some video.

00:33:19.000 It was one of the most absurd things I've ever seen.

00:33:21.000 A guy takes a coffee maker and he pours lemonade in the back.

00:33:26.000 He puts broccoli where the coffee is supposed to go and he puts a salmon filet in the coffee pitcher or whatever.

00:33:33.000 And then he turns it on.

00:33:35.000 He says, this is totally legit.

00:33:36.000 The lemonade will steam the broccoli and then cook the salmon in seven minutes.

00:33:42.000 The video is absurd.

00:33:43.000 Absolutely absurd.

00:33:44.000 There's other videos where a woman is pouring nachos all over her counter and it's a disgusting mess. 1.00

00:33:50.000 She does the same thing with spaghetti.

00:33:51.000 There's videos where people throw burgers and fries in the blender and then freeze it and make patties out of it.

00:33:57.000 It is nonsense content meant to shock people to get shares.

00:34:01.000 You see the guy pouring lemonade on salmon in a coffee maker and he says, Sonny D! 0.96

00:34:05.000 And you're like, that's disgusting. 0.72

00:34:06.000 I need to show my friends how disgusting this is. 0.80

00:34:08.000 Here's the problem. 0.90

00:34:09.000 Little kids.

00:34:10.000 They're gonna see that, and they're not gonna know that it's meant to manipulate you.

00:34:14.000 Because they're gonna see a very serious looking man, very seriously saying, watch me cook salmon this way.

00:34:19.000 They'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. 0.99

00:34:29.000 Because we're older, we understand, you don't cook, it's not convenient to cook salmon in a coffee maker, that's stupid. 0.98

00:34:36.000 But these kids don't know that, now check this out. 0.99

00:34:38.000 Here's where it gets a bit more damning.

00:34:43.000 At 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.

00:34:53.000 Yes.

00:34:54.000 So what they started doing was started saying racism, racism, sexism, racism.

00:34:57.000 Then they realized combining them got them even more shares.

00:35:01.000 You had kids who were 10 years old in 2008.

00:35:04.000 They're not very politically active.

00:35:06.000 They 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.

00:35:15.000 Now it's no surprise they believe all this woke insanity. 0.99

00:35:18.000 They believe all the psychotic garbage because it's been their entire life. 1.00

00:35:20.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:35:20.000 of people just posting manipulative content. 1.00

00:35:22.000 So to go to that quote, those absurdities have become the slogans

00:35:26.000 of these young people who are now in their 20s and voting in, I love it.

00:35:30.000 We actually have some of these left to sit here and tell us Joe Biden is the right path

00:35:33.000 towards avoiding corruption.

00:35:34.000 And I'm like, you don't know anything about the Obama administration at all, do you?

00:35:38.000 The National Defense Authorization Act, indefinite detention provisions.

00:35:41.000 How about Biden Inc. putting his brother in charge of Iraqi construction,

00:35:45.000 also in the families making millions of dollars.

00:35:47.000 The Burisma deals, the investigations, they ignore all.

00:35:49.000 China, oh, flying on the plane. 0.98

00:35:50.000 I mean, come on.

00:35:51.000 I said this before, I'll say it again, and then we'll segue to what I wanted to talk about

00:35:54.000 before I got derailed.

00:35:55.000 If the Republicans win the House back, they should impeach Joe Biden on all of the evidence pertaining to- But they won't do that, Tim.

00:36:01.000 Of course they won't.

00:36:02.000 They will not do that, because they believe we're gentlemanly, we're above that, because this is a dogfight.

00:36:10.000 This is beyond a knife fight. 0.97

00:36:12.000 And, 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.

00:36:22.000 And we continue to want to have this fair fight.

00:36:25.000 We continue to want to.

00:36:27.000 There's a great scene from Officer and the Gentleman when David Caruso is standing there in front of Louis Gossett Jr.

00:36:32.000 And they're going to start doing the training on hand-to-hand combat.

00:36:35.000 And he's going to use David Caruso, the cadet, as his example.

00:36:39.000 And, you know, David Caruso, well, this cadet knows by regulation, Drill Sergeant, you're not allowed to strike me or anything like that.

00:36:45.000 Really?

00:36:46.000 And Lou Gossett puts it down in a chokehold.

00:36:49.000 And that's what Republicans are.

00:36:51.000 Republicans stand there, and if you read Solon Link's Rules for Radicals, you know what one of the rules are?

00:36:55.000 To constrain your enemy into their own principles and values.

00:37:00.000 And so that comes back to what is happening at the border.

00:37:03.000 You 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.

00:37:17.000 The Constitution says that you can protect yourself when the federal government abdicates their duty.

00:37:22.000 This is interesting because the way you're describing it, it sounds very much like the old trope of the Revolutionary War.

00:37:27.000 The crown was very much looking for a regimented battle on the, uh, you know, on the, on the standard.

00:37:32.000 We didn't play that way.

00:37:33.000 We didn't play.

00:37:34.000 And you know, last it's fun.

00:37:35.000 I was watching last, last the Mohicans.

00:37:37.000 That's why I was loving it.

00:37:39.000 I was loving your little flintlock pistol.

00:37:41.000 And you're right, I mean, you know, we were the original guerrilla warriors here in North America.

00:37:47.000 We wanted to win!

00:37:48.000 We wanted to win!

00:37:49.000 It 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.

00:38:06.000 I must defeat you then I can go into the feudal lords room No, they snuck around back.

00:38:11.000 Yeah, they set traps.

00:38:13.000 They threw what were they called?

00:38:15.000 Maki Bishi is out there called they spent you know drops preparing.

00:38:19.000 Yeah, 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.

00:38:33.000 They wanted to create this illusion.

00:38:34.000 It was all pre-planned.

00:38:35.000 They did not fight by the rules.

00:38:37.000 I watched this amazing fight on YouTube a long time ago of a samurai versus a ninja.

00:38:41.000 And 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.

00:38:53.000 And he was like, they don't care about your rules or your honor.

00:38:56.000 They want to win.

00:38:57.000 Because in the end, whoever wins is the one who's going to walk away and control things.

00:39:01.000 So that's the problem with Republicans.

00:39:03.000 They 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.

00:39:09.000 And they go, thank you so much, Banham.

00:39:11.000 Well, 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.

00:39:22.000 And I wrote a little piece that said, please do not give Democrats committee chair positions.

00:39:29.000 I think you've got Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:39:32.000 They're fighters.

00:39:33.000 chair positions. The same Democrats that guess where they are now. They're up here in Washington,

00:39:38.000 D.C. blocking election integrity again after flying private jets up here.

00:39:43.000 I think you've got Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, they're fighters.

00:39:49.000 They're feisty. And then you've got Ted Cruz is pretty good, Holly's pretty good, 1.00

00:39:52.000 and Rand Paul's pretty good.

00:39:54.000 But in terms of feistiness, you know, you got very, very few, if any, Republicans.

00:39:59.000 But 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.

00:40:12.000 Who?

00:40:12.000 What happened?

00:40:13.000 Cori Bush.

00:40:14.000 She led the violent riot that ended up with the death of David Dorn, the picture that you have down in your basement.

00:40:20.000 But she also led the riot against Patty and Mark McCloskey.

00:40:24.000 And now she's sitting on the House Judiciary Committee. 0.99

00:40:28.000 But yet, if you are a Republican and you say something that the Democrats don't like, what does Nancy Pelosi do? 0.64

00:40:33.000 Strips you of your committee assignments.

00:40:34.000 What does Kevin McCarthy do?

00:40:36.000 Well, that's the problem.

00:40:38.000 Agree.

00:40:39.000 And look, there's good and there's bad here.

00:40:40.000 Because when Steve King came out and said something about white nationalism on Twitter in a positive light, Yeah, that's right and wrong.

00:40:50.000 But what we have to also do is look at the other side and say, really?

00:40:55.000 Maxine Waters can stand up and encourage people to commit acts of violence?

00:41:01.000 Yeah.

00:41:01.000 against republicans are members of this administration during a criminal trial

00:41:05.000 in minnesota yes and say we're gonna do more on this we get what we want

00:41:09.000 i mean that that is shocking that nothing happens it's like uh...

00:41:13.000 it's like civil disobedience but it's a little different i mean telling people to sit on a road block traffic you

00:41:19.000 could say that that's violent because you're you're impeding and and disrupting

00:41:22.000 people's daily lives that's a form of violence

00:41:24.000 But telling people to burn buildings is different than telling people to revolt against the system peacefully.

00:41:31.000 Well, violence is causing harm to someone or something.

00:41:34.000 Or Gerald Nadler, who's the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, when he was asked about Antifa, he said, it's just a myth.

00:41:42.000 Really?

00:41:43.000 So in other words, you're consenting, you're condoning it.

00:41:45.000 Yeah.

00:41:45.000 It's called terrorism.

00:41:46.000 Yes.

00:41:47.000 When 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.

00:41:56.000 I mean, we already, we all know what happened in Minnesota the last time.

00:41:58.000 We all know what happened with, you have like 23 plus deaths or whatever directly associated with the riots and then some peripheral deaths.

00:42:05.000 And she says she wants more.

00:42:06.000 The people of that city knew exactly what was going to happen.

00:42:09.000 They said so in interviews after the fact.

00:42:11.000 I was scared these people would show up at my house.

00:42:13.000 That's terrorism.

00:42:14.000 That is terrorism.

00:42:15.000 Or, you know, let's put it out there.

00:42:18.000 The only person that lost their life on January the 6th was shot in the back by a Capitol Hill police officer.

00:42:24.000 Oh yeah definitely.

00:42:25.000 Or it was she was on the front somewhere in the neck or shoulder. 0.86

00:42:27.000 We still don't know who the Capitol Hill police officers.

00:42:30.000 Now, if that was on the left, they'd be going apoplectic right now.

00:42:36.000 Oh, yeah, definitely.

00:42:37.000 Well, let's talk about what's going on with the border, though.

00:42:39.000 Yeah, we are talking about you.

00:42:41.000 You said that with the Biden administration abdicated in terms of border

00:42:46.000 border policy? How would you describe it?

00:42:48.000 Well, you have a constitutional duty to protect the sovereignty of the United States of America

00:42:53.000 and the sovereignty of a state that has a 1,200 mile border.

00:42:56.000 So when you come in by executive order, not by legislative process, which first

00:42:59.000 and foremost is unconstitutional.

00:43:02.000 To 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.

00:43:14.000 That's exactly what has happened.

00:43:15.000 You saw the video of me down on the Rio Grande River a week ago, 2 a.m.

00:43:20.000 in the morning.

00:43:21.000 A guy shouts across from Mexico, I've got 80 ready to cross. 1.00

00:43:25.000 Wow.

00:43:26.000 And this fares them across.

00:43:27.000 We've got a few really interesting developments.

00:43:29.000 One is, I think, what do we have, Florida sending troopers to Texas?

00:43:33.000 Yeah, but see, the thing is, Tim, we have a National Guard in Texas.

00:43:39.000 19 to 20,000 strong.

00:43:40.000 You mobilize your full National Guard.

00:43:43.000 You put them down there to show that this is a deterrent.

00:43:46.000 You make sure that you block the infiltration routes.

00:43:48.000 Because what is happening is that we're focusing on those crossing points where the women and children are being funneled across.

00:43:55.000 But 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.

00:44:02.000 Those are the getaways.

00:44:04.000 Well, let's talk about one of the other developments, too.

00:44:05.000 There are some states sending in troops or National Guardsmen, but we have this story.

00:44:10.000 But what powers do they have?

00:44:12.000 It depends on what Texas is going to allow them to do, right?

00:44:14.000 Well, that's right, what I'm saying.

00:44:16.000 They're not allowing them to do anything, because guess what I saw?

00:44:18.000 I saw National Guard troops watching those people come across and helping them out of the rafts into Texas.

00:44:25.000 Is that Texas National Guard or Federal National Guard?

00:44:29.000 No, it's Texas National Guard.

00:44:30.000 But we do have a story I want to pull up.

00:44:32.000 This 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.

00:44:40.000 Texas sheriffs sue Biden admin for restricting ice amid border crisis.

00:44:45.000 So it sounds like it's not just that they're not doing anything, they're actively hindering the attempts.

00:44:51.000 They are telling, they have told Customs and Border Patrol, they are telling ICE do not do your job.

00:44:57.000 ICE is there to deport people and ICE is being told don't do your job, don't deport people.

00:45:02.000 So what are these constitutional officers, that's the interesting thing, the difference between a sheriff and a local municipality police officer.

00:45:10.000 Sheriffs 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.

00:45:26.000 The allegations are scarier than just that from the article.

00:45:29.000 According 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.

00:45:40.000 They 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.

00:45:52.000 Specifically, 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.

00:46:07.000 I mean, look.

00:46:07.000 Now, that's amazing.

00:46:08.000 And sexual assault.

00:46:09.000 If 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. 0.93

00:46:17.000 This is like, eh, the human traffickers, let them go.

00:46:19.000 Yeah, well, that's what I saw happen.

00:46:21.000 You saw the human smugglers that were the ones pulling the rafts because at that point in Roma, Texas, the Rio Grande is about waist deep.

00:46:28.000 They were pulling the rafts across.

00:46:30.000 And they continued to do it until all of those folks were ferried across.

00:46:33.000 Tim, we have had people from 160 different countries detained.

00:46:39.000 Now those are the ones we detained, not the ones that got away.

00:46:41.000 We have people that are on terrorist watch lists.

00:46:44.000 In the Del Rio sector, they've detained people from 72 different countries.

00:46:49.000 This is a national security issue.

00:46:51.000 that 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.

00:47:00.000 Wow.

00:47:00.000 You know what it is?

00:47:01.000 It's really simple.

00:47:01.000 We were talking about H.R.

00:47:03.000 1 earlier.

00:47:03.000 You know, there's something else in H.R.

00:47:05.000 1 we didn't bring up, and that's they want to lower the voting age.

00:47:07.000 Yes.

00:47:08.000 Why would they want to get people with no experience in politics or national affairs to be voting?

00:47:15.000 Just what you said.

00:47:16.000 They just bombard them with the headlines, and then they go out and they vote for them.

00:47:20.000 I was covering a story a couple years ago during the migrant caravan crisis.

00:47:25.000 And you get the standard line from the left about refugees and things like that.

00:47:29.000 And I was talking to a friend of mine and I sent, actually, I sent them some documents.

00:47:36.000 They blocked me.

00:47:37.000 And 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.

00:47:52.000 And the reason they did it was they knew if they flew to the US, they would be denied.

00:47:55.000 Because actually going through a checkpoint, you'd get turned around.

00:47:58.000 But if they came to the poorest southern border, especially at the time of a caravan, they might get through.

00:48:04.000 And so I asked them, if these people were refugees fleeing Africa, Brazil is amazing.

00:48:10.000 I've been to Rio and Sao Paulo.

00:48:12.000 I absolutely loved Rio.

00:48:14.000 Great food, great people on the beach, coconuts for a buck, super cheap.

00:48:18.000 Why would you spend thousands of dollars to leave a place where you're already safe?

00:48:22.000 And 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.

00:48:29.000 Well, look at what has happened.

00:48:31.000 And America is awesome, by the way.

00:48:32.000 America is awesome.

00:48:33.000 And 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.

00:48:44.000 The policies were in place that kept this under control.

00:48:47.000 Then you come in and change the policies, and now you have this flood.

00:48:49.000 So don't come down here, you know, talking about this issue, you know.

00:48:52.000 And going down saying, well, it's climate change.

00:48:56.000 That family did not leave Africa because of the weather, okay?

00:48:59.000 Alright.

00:49:00.000 Yeah, no.

00:49:01.000 And you ask them, they don't say that.

00:49:03.000 This is the funniest thing.

00:49:04.000 They say, you know, I love that line from AOC when she was questioning, I think Homan was his name?

00:49:10.000 Yeah, Tom Homan.

00:49:12.000 And she's like, legal asylees? 1.00

00:49:14.000 Have broken no laws and then he just names the laws like actually they violated something. Yeah, it's really dry

00:49:18.000 But these people say they're legal asylees and they mention the climate change thing

00:49:23.000 Kamala harris like it's because of climate change. Did you ask him one one one person interviewed?

00:49:28.000 I 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

00:49:35.000 climate change No, that ain't climate change.

00:49:36.000 But I gotta be honest, I miss B-dubs too! 1.00

00:49:37.000 Well, 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.

00:49:44.000 Yeah, it's very traumatic.

00:49:45.000 Look, look, look.

00:49:46.000 This 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.

00:49:53.000 I just busted out laughing, because I'm like, I feel you.

00:49:56.000 Like, I love me some B-dubs, but Mexico City has B-dubs. 0.99

00:49:59.000 Yeah.

00:50:00.000 So what you're saying still makes no sense.

00:50:01.000 But think about this also.

00:50:02.000 This 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.

00:50:11.000 Then 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.

00:50:17.000 Yeah, no joke, man.

00:50:19.000 I'm not even playing.

00:50:21.000 On the south side of Chicago, there was one kid who went to prison.

00:50:24.000 He was 13. 0.99

00:50:25.000 Gang said, you got to shoot him. 1.00

00:50:27.000 Or else. 0.99

00:50:28.000 And so he's like, he did it.

00:50:29.000 And then the reason they do that is because the kids get out when they're 18.

00:50:32.000 The adults would go for life, 25 to life.

00:50:34.000 So they have the kids do it.

00:50:35.000 Yeah, absolutely, those kids need support.

00:50:37.000 Oh, what's that?

00:50:38.000 Who's running Chicago and who has been running Chicago?

00:50:41.000 It's been under Democrat one-party control forever.

00:50:44.000 But the problem in Chicago, according to Mayor Lori Lightfoot, is the stuff that's coming over from Indiana.

00:50:51.000 That's an excuse.

00:50:52.000 Of course it is, but that's what they are all about, and we allow them to get away with it.

00:50:57.000 And 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.

00:51:05.000 When you look at the Northern Triangle countries, you're talking about $36 billion.

00:51:11.000 a year that are going back.

00:51:12.000 Now, when you expand that out to the top seven countries, $77 billion dollars leaving the United States of America going back.

00:51:18.000 Wouldn't it be great if we just taxed these remittances?

00:51:21.000 Let's just tax it at the highest income tax rate that the Democrats want, so the legal immigrants can give their fair share. 1.00

00:51:28.000 What's a remittance?

00:51:29.000 What is it?

00:51:30.000 This is the money that they send back to their native countries.

00:51:34.000 Oh, so they come here illegally, they work, and they send money out? 0.97

00:51:37.000 And they send money out.

00:51:39.000 With no penalties whatsoever.

00:51:42.000 And often no taxes, because they make money under the table.

00:51:44.000 Absolutely.

00:51:45.000 And it's a very serious problem.

00:51:47.000 So when you look at places like Detroit, where they've lost a lot of jobs, money leaving an area is bad for that area.

00:51:55.000 Because you're taking away a trade medium, it causes all sorts of problems, especially when it's done abruptly.

00:52:00.000 For people to come in, they are effectively extracting value from this country.

00:52:04.000 It's the same problem.

00:52:06.000 It's a very similar problem to when we outsource a lot of our jobs overseas.

00:52:09.000 Absolutely.

00:52:10.000 Money 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.

00:52:17.000 Be 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.

00:52:24.000 Not 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. 0.94

00:52:38.000 So it is a vicious cycle that we're creating in our country.

00:52:41.000 I 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. 0.99

00:52:52.000 But if someone's mean to you, it says mean words that you're not a victim.

00:52:56.000 Well, they're coached.

00:52:58.000 They're coached what to say.

00:53:00.000 And 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.

00:53:06.000 And the interesting thing, guys, is that they will go and surrender to the—they know who the federal Border Patrol agent is.

00:53:13.000 That's who they surrender to.

00:53:15.000 They're not going to surrender to local law enforcement, because then local law enforcement will detain them, arrest them, what have you.

00:53:20.000 And so they know how to game this entire system.

00:53:23.000 It's just like when you're in a combat zone, you tell the enemy, here's my rules of engagement.

00:53:27.000 This is what I can and can't do.

00:53:29.000 And then guess what they do?

00:53:30.000 They understand the gaps, so I wish they'd exploit you.

00:53:32.000 Same thing's happening here.

00:53:33.000 You saw the story when the Biden administration was smuggling children into other states in the dead of night.

00:53:40.000 Yeah, Tennessee, landing in the middle of the night.

00:53:40.000 You see that story?

00:53:43.000 That is, very simply put, the Biden administration engaging in human trafficking.

00:53:47.000 They are.

00:53:48.000 And to the point where the cartels, this number is going to blow your socks off, the cartels are making on average $25 million a week.

00:53:57.000 Wow.

00:53:58.000 Holy cow. 0.89

00:53:58.000 And I saw the little wristbands. 0.89

00:54:00.000 Each one of the cartels has a different wristband because they're the ones that are allowing you transit through their respective territories.

00:54:07.000 And, you know, the adults, the kids, they all have the wristband from the cartel that is bringing them across.

00:54:13.000 And even though they're not able to pay this money, guess what?

00:54:16.000 When they get on this side, they have cartel operatives.

00:54:19.000 They're going to be working for the cartels and sending that money back.

00:54:22.000 If we are serious about this, we must declare the cartels criminal and terrorist organizations, and then we go after their financing and resourcing.

00:54:31.000 I just gotta make sure I pull this up, because this is a bold thing to say, but yes, it is true.

00:54:35.000 A 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.

00:54:44.000 So this is a story from May, and it wasn't just Tennessee.

00:54:47.000 Now you gotta understand, when you are secretly, and in violation of the law, taking humans and transporting them, you are smuggling people.

00:54:57.000 Literally.

00:54:58.000 That's human smuggling operations.

00:55:00.000 Human trafficking.

00:55:01.000 Human trafficking.

00:55:02.000 So the Biden administration is engaging in human trafficking.

00:55:05.000 The Biden administration is creating the largest economic boom for the criminal and terrorist cartels.

00:55:12.000 How?

00:55:13.000 What would you do?

00:55:14.000 No, go ahead.

00:55:14.000 Like, as governor of Texas, what can you do with the federal government acting as the way it is?

00:55:21.000 Like, what are some processes?

00:55:23.000 You look at the Tenth Amendment, and you assert your power as a sovereign state.

00:55:28.000 You look at those two clauses that I just mentioned in the Constitution.

00:55:31.000 You have full mobilization.

00:55:32.000 You're a National Guard.

00:55:33.000 You start to tax the remittances.

00:55:35.000 that 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.

00:56:02.000 But the most important thing, you've got to go after those resources.

00:56:04.000 And the other thing is, you've got to stop with the magnets.

00:56:07.000 If you come into Texas, you're not getting free taxpayer benefits in Texas.

00:56:10.000 You're not getting in-state tuition as illegal in Texas.

00:56:13.000 And so it's those type of things that we have to use as a physical deterrent and then also economic deterrence.

00:56:19.000 What kind of resistance would you foresee from the federal government?

00:56:22.000 Uh 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.

00:56:37.000 And 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.

00:56:46.000 You have a duty and responsibility as a governor to protect the citizens in your state.

00:56:50.000 And right now, the citizens of the state of Texas are not being protected.

00:56:53.000 I know everyone's saying, well, we're going to build a wall.

00:56:56.000 There's 1,200 miles that we share with a foreign nation.

00:57:00.000 There's only 145 miles of wall that's been built.

00:57:03.000 How 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?

00:57:16.000 Well, to be fair, I heard a story that Trump actually proposed moats full of alligators.

00:57:22.000 That was actually reported.

00:57:25.000 Clearly Trump- Another headline.

00:57:27.000 Exactly, exactly.

00:57:28.000 They said somebody somewhere made a claim that Trump wanted moats full of alligators, and that's actually more expensive.

00:57:36.000 Digging a trench and filling it with water and alligators?

00:57:39.000 Plus the Rio Grande's already there!

00:57:41.000 It's already there.

00:57:42.000 I mean, you already have a physical, you know, barrier, a border, a river.

00:57:48.000 But if you're not putting anyone down there as a physical deterrent, then it's just a crossing point.

00:57:54.000 And so you get to watch, as you know, on our website, the video of guys just ferrying people across.

00:58:00.000 These videos are crazy.

00:58:02.000 You 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.

00:58:14.000 High-speed car chases, carjackings have increased, ransacking of grocery stores and convenience stores.

00:58:21.000 These aren't asylum seekers.

00:58:25.000 I'm getting this right, but do you know the most dangerous cities in Mexico and where they are?

00:58:30.000 It's right along the border.

00:58:31.000 Yep, just south of the U.S.

00:58:33.000 border.

00:58:33.000 You 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.

00:58:49.000 There 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.

00:58:56.000 There 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.

00:59:03.000 You can go down and you can be on our side of the border.

00:59:05.000 You can hear the gunshots.

00:59:07.000 It reminds me of Iraq, Afghanistan.

00:59:09.000 You can see the flashes.

00:59:10.000 This is what's happening just on the other side.

00:59:12.000 And 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.

00:59:21.000 And there are people who have houses just like right there.

00:59:24.000 Right there.

00:59:24.000 Right on the border.

00:59:25.000 They live in terror every day.

00:59:27.000 I mean, think about this, Ian. 1.00

00:59:28.000 If you know that a cartel member is going to come up to you and say, if you say something, we'll kill you. 0.99

00:59:35.000 My first, I thought, would be to move. 1.00

00:59:37.000 My first thought would be... But where are you gonna go?

00:59:39.000 Yeah.

00:59:40.000 Who's gonna buy your house? 1.00

00:59:41.000 I don't know.

00:59:42.000 I mean, that would be my life's goal at that point.

00:59:44.000 Be first, head down, don't say anything that gets me killed, and then second, I gotta get out of here.

00:59:48.000 But see, this is America.

00:59:50.000 And 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. 0.98

00:59:58.000 How do we stop it?

00:59:59.000 What 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?

00:59:59.000 Well, hold on.

01:00:06.000 What do you think would happen to that person?

01:00:07.000 Oh, you know what's going to happen.

01:00:08.000 Was he armed?

01:00:09.000 Was it an unarmed person?

01:00:10.000 How do you know he was a cartel member?

01:00:12.000 What have you?

01:00:12.000 And that's why I said we have got to designate them as a criminal and terrorist organization.

01:00:18.000 And if you are working with the cartels, that's a felony offense.

01:00:21.000 You're going to jail.

01:00:22.000 You ain't gonna see daylight.

01:00:23.000 Didn't, what was it, Fast and Furious?

01:00:24.000 Weren't they working with, Obama's administration was working with cartels to run guns into the U.S.?

01:00:30.000 Well, I mean, let's be, yeah, absolutely.

01:00:32.000 Because what they wanted, and Brian Terry, the Border Patrol agent, lost his life.

01:00:37.000 Because of that gunrunners game.

01:00:38.000 Now, of course, if you say Fast and Furious to most millennials out there, they're going to think of Vin Diesel.

01:00:42.000 How convenient.

01:00:43.000 Good job, government.

01:00:45.000 Way to mask your behavior.

01:00:47.000 They wanted to track the weapons, how they were moving.

01:00:49.000 And they gave weapons. 1.00

01:00:51.000 I almost just don't believe they were that stupid. 1.00

01:00:54.000 Let's give guns to all these people. 1.00

01:00:56.000 That'll help us stop them.

01:00:57.000 Yeah, that's what they do with ISIS. 0.76

01:00:58.000 But 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.

01:01:08.000 Not the government.

01:01:09.000 We'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.

01:01:20.000 What 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.

01:01:27.000 I 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.

01:01:41.000 has a problem with kind of doing that, you know, Mujahideen, for instance.

01:01:41.000 Yeah, the U.S.

01:01:44.000 Oh, yeah.

01:01:45.000 We don't have a good track record of picking people.

01:01:45.000 Yeah.

01:01:48.000 Hussein's bath party.

01:01:49.000 We disbanded the bath party and then they all became Al-Qaeda, basically. 1.00

01:01:53.000 Or was it ISIS?

01:01:53.000 I don't remember.

01:01:54.000 At first it was the Fedayeen and then it became Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

01:01:59.000 I was there.

01:02:00.000 And then ISIS?

01:02:02.000 ISIS came when you create a void, much the same as we are doing now in Afghanistan. 0.93

01:02:07.000 If you create a void, basic law of physics, someone's going to fill that void.

01:02:10.000 And 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.

01:02:17.000 And so ISIS came in and we knew about it.

01:02:20.000 As a matter of fact, al-Baghdadi was once in our custody there and he was released.

01:02:26.000 Was that under Obama?

01:02:27.000 Yes.

01:02:28.000 Amazing.

01:02:29.000 It seems like Obama didn't really have the desire to end ISIS.

01:02:34.000 He didn't have the desire to do anything.

01:02:36.000 Yeah.

01:02:36.000 And Joe Biden is stepping in and doing the exact same thing.

01:02:39.000 And so you're going to see an incredible bloodbath in Afghanistan, just as you saw in Iraq, just the same as you saw in Vietnam. 0.95

01:02:44.000 Remember the killing fields of Pol Pot? 0.70

01:02:46.000 Oh, yeah.

01:02:47.000 OK, exact same thing is going to happen.

01:02:48.000 I've already had a couple of my former interpreter translators in Afghanistan ask me for letters of recommendation so they can get out.

01:02:54.000 But you know what's the interesting thing?

01:02:56.000 They 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.

01:03:13.000 They are truly under attack and they will be killed by the Taliban, by ISIS or whoever comes back into power. 0.76

01:03:20.000 And guess who also is moving into Afghanistan now that we have precipitously left?

01:03:24.000 China.

01:03:25.000 Oh, I've heard that.

01:03:26.000 Belt and Road Initiative.

01:03:29.000 But Trump wanted to leave earlier.

01:03:30.000 Trump's initial deadline was May and Biden pushed it back a little bit.

01:03:33.000 Yeah, 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.

01:03:38.000 Leave a small special forces type of force that can make sure that they'll come in and once again re-establish the sanctuary.

01:03:45.000 I 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.

01:03:51.000 The United States can't just be sitting in this country, but a small team, something to do exactly what you're saying.

01:03:57.000 I mean, we're not talking about leaving a large million man force like we did in Germany for what, 50 or 60 years.

01:03:57.000 Absolutely.

01:04:03.000 But 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.

01:04:12.000 It's mistakes after mistakes, you know.

01:04:14.000 We shouldn't have been in there in the first place for a lot of reasons.

01:04:16.000 Well, you know, the thing is, we had to go in initially, but what happens is that you lose focus.

01:04:22.000 You become an army of occupation instead of army that is enemy-oriented.

01:04:27.000 And you go in, you start to worry about building roads, building institutions, and all of those things.

01:04:31.000 That's not what you're there for. 0.94

01:04:32.000 You're supposed to find bad guys and kill bad guys. 0.99

01:04:34.000 That's all that's needed. 0.98

01:04:35.000 And now where are they going?

01:04:37.000 Who?

01:04:37.000 Syria?

01:04:38.000 The bad guys?

01:04:38.000 No, no, no.

01:04:39.000 You know, Biden's moving troops.

01:04:41.000 Who knows?

01:04:43.000 I don't think he knows.

01:04:43.000 Who knows?

01:04:44.000 I 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.

01:04:51.000 I 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.

01:04:58.000 Of course.

01:04:59.000 Our own border security seems to be a mess, and they're... Well, it's just the same as the pipeline.

01:05:04.000 You 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.

01:05:13.000 Nord Stream 2.

01:05:14.000 Absolutely.

01:05:15.000 We'll retract the sanctions on Nord Stream 2, build your pipeline.

01:05:19.000 As for us in the U.S., we'll shut them down.

01:05:21.000 And it's remarkable because they're putting pressure on a pipeline in Michigan that goes to Canada.

01:05:24.000 Canada is outraged over what they're doing.

01:05:26.000 Absolutely.

01:05:28.000 We're breaking contracts with them.

01:05:29.000 And it's remarkable that we had the crisis we had in Texas with the freezing.

01:05:36.000 Oh man, if we can talk about that.

01:05:38.000 Oh yeah, but you also have the Colonial Pipeline hack.

01:05:40.000 Now is not the time to be hurting American energy independence.

01:05:40.000 Yes.

01:05:43.000 No, it's not the time to be hurting American energy.

01:05:45.000 Never is, really.

01:05:46.000 And now is not the time to be talking about the Green New Deal and all of these type of things.

01:05:46.000 No, it's not.

01:05:50.000 Because what happened in Texas was that 26% of our energy distribution plan was in wind and solar.

01:05:57.000 About 23% wind, 3% in solar.

01:05:59.000 And what happened, I mean, we knew this was coming 10 days out.

01:06:03.000 Well, 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.

01:06:24.000 That was the big failure.

01:06:25.000 They didn't do winterization.

01:06:26.000 They didn't do the winterization.

01:06:27.000 No preventative maintenance checks and services.

01:06:30.000 And you know what my bet is?

01:06:32.000 Just my opinion.

01:06:33.000 I haven't looked into it, but I'm willing to bet.

01:06:34.000 Climate change.

01:06:35.000 The people who are building those wind turbines were probably like, we don't need to worry about freezing.

01:06:41.000 The climate never changes.

01:06:41.000 This is Texas!

01:06:43.000 Yeah, we're good.

01:06:44.000 Well, and the other thing is that we heavily subsidize those systems.

01:06:49.000 And look, in a free market system, if you want to be a reliable energy source, stand up on your own.

01:06:55.000 Yeah, you know, I'm a big fan of wind, solar, but we don't have the technological, um, we don't have the efficiency for one.

01:07:01.000 Not yet.

01:07:02.000 To go as big as they're going.

01:07:03.000 Now, 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.

01:07:14.000 You know what I mean?

01:07:14.000 And the challenge is batteries, transportation.

01:07:17.000 And so it's not so simple.

01:07:18.000 And one of the things, there was somebody who posted this on Facebook.

01:07:21.000 They 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.

01:07:34.000 And 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.

01:07:44.000 The amount of energy going into these systems that's not petroleum, save nuclear, isn't enough.

01:07:50.000 And 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?

01:07:57.000 Natural gas.

01:07:58.000 And you know, people really don't understand how much petroleum is used to build solar and wind.

01:08:06.000 And also in this.

01:08:07.000 And all the plastics, petrochemicals.

01:08:10.000 It takes a lot of petroleum to even build.

01:08:13.000 And so the question I'm asking people is, look, I love the idea of renewable energies.

01:08:17.000 Geothermal, tidal energy.

01:08:18.000 Ever hear of tidal energy?

01:08:19.000 Yeah.

01:08:20.000 There's different ways to utilize that.

01:08:21.000 Tidal energy is reliable.

01:08:22.000 The tide comes in, tide goes out, and you capture some of that energy.

01:08:25.000 The 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?

01:08:36.000 Will the device last long enough?

01:08:38.000 In a lot of circumstances, the answer is no.

01:08:41.000 Producing solar, for instance, is not necessarily efficient enough right now.

01:08:44.000 There's a lot of cool things we've done with mirrors on those saltwater vats to produce steam energy.

01:08:48.000 They're smart things we're doing.

01:08:50.000 But it's not gonna give- But they're blocking nuclear power!

01:08:52.000 Yeah.

01:08:52.000 It's like you've got a clean solution with a massive energy return, and they're like, nah, not that one.

01:08:56.000 Because, you know, they don't care about the climate, they care about power.

01:08:59.000 Absolutely.

01:09:00.000 And control.

01:09:01.000 Yep.

01:09:01.000 That's it.

01:09:03.000 You 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.

01:09:12.000 Did you hear this?

01:09:13.000 No, I didn't. 0.81

01:09:14.000 But I think the last time we tried that it was something to do with with pork, pigs.

01:09:22.000 So we got these big protests erupting in Cuba.

01:09:24.000 I love this one.

01:09:25.000 They're yelling freedom down with dictatorship.

01:09:28.000 And what does the media say?

01:09:29.000 Protesting lack of covid resources and vaccines and things like that.

01:09:33.000 Of 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.

01:09:44.000 Yeah, super racist, wasn't he?

01:09:46.000 Yeah.

01:09:48.000 And so they can't say that people want freedom, people want liberty.

01:09:52.000 No, no.

01:09:53.000 It's about COVID.

01:09:54.000 They don't have enough masks.

01:09:55.000 They need more vaccines.

01:09:57.000 You see they said, New York Times said, freedom and other anti-government slogans.

01:10:01.000 Isn't that incredible?

01:10:03.000 But I do think that's funny because I think from a libertarian perspective, you get it.

01:10:08.000 Especially an anti-communist perspective.

01:10:10.000 Yeah, saying freedom in Cuba is anti-government.

01:10:12.000 And see the thing is that, just the same as we saw in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, where Hispanics want safety and security.

01:10:19.000 They don't want defunding the police.

01:10:22.000 Their principles and values are conservative.

01:10:24.000 You're going to lose just the same as what happened in the last election cycle.

01:10:29.000 The Cuban community, that Hispanic community down in South Florida, the Venezuelan expatriates, the Cuban expatriates, they went heavily for Donald Trump.

01:10:37.000 Guess what's going to happen this time?

01:10:38.000 They're going to go even more so in the next election.

01:10:41.000 And now here's why.

01:10:42.000 You're familiar with the Democratic Socialists of America?

01:10:44.000 Yes.

01:10:45.000 So the Democratic Socialists of America International Committee tweeted out in support of the Cuban communist regime.

01:10:52.000 Now here's the best part.

01:10:52.000 What?

01:10:54.000 It confused a lot of people because they don't understand the language of communists.

01:10:56.000 Yeah.

01:10:57.000 They tweeted, DSA stands with the Cuban people and their revolution in this moment of unrest.

01:11:04.000 End the blockade.

01:11:05.000 What you need to understand about the communists is that they call their government the revolution.

01:11:10.000 For instance, when I was in Venezuela, they said, Tim Pool was sent here to destabilize the revolution.

01:11:17.000 They call their communist government the revolution.

01:11:20.000 So when they tweet this out saying they stand with the people and their revolution, what did the president of Cuba just say?

01:11:25.000 He said he was calling on the revolutionary citizenry to fight back against the protesters.

01:11:31.000 This is the Democratic Socialists of America International Committee with a pinned tweet saying they support the communist regime.

01:11:38.000 Here's the best part.

01:11:39.000 AOC, as most of you know, is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

01:11:44.000 A lot of people are pointing out that Bernie, AOC, the squad aren't criticizing the Cuban regime right now.

01:11:49.000 So what do you think is going to happen?

01:11:51.000 You saw what happened in that Democrat district in 2020, in Miami.

01:11:56.000 It was a safe Democrat district.

01:11:58.000 They predicted it was gonna swing, what was it, like 15 points or whatever, Democrat, went hard red.

01:12:04.000 Republican won, and everyone kind of threw up, all the Democrats threw up in their mouths, like, how did this happen?

01:12:09.000 It's because these people who live in Florida know exactly what's going on in Cuba, and exactly what these promises really mean.

01:12:16.000 There 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.

01:12:26.000 And now we're starving.

01:12:27.000 Our industries are collapsing.

01:12:29.000 Crime is skyrocketing.

01:12:30.000 Once the most prosperous nation in South America, now it's just... Shell of a cell.

01:12:36.000 Murder.

01:12:37.000 More murder than any other... And how did it start?

01:12:39.000 How did it start?

01:12:40.000 One of the first things that Hugo Chavez did, he banned private gun ownership.

01:12:45.000 Oh wow.

01:12:46.000 Always.

01:12:46.000 Oh yeah, never let them.

01:12:47.000 That's where it starts.

01:12:47.000 Always.

01:12:49.000 You know, you can, Bolshevik Revolution, you know, in China with Chairman Mao, wherever you go.

01:12:54.000 And 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.

01:13:05.000 They always try to use that democratic word, but yet they are the progressive socialists.

01:13:09.000 They are the statists.

01:13:10.000 They are the communists.

01:13:11.000 They are the Marxists.

01:13:12.000 And we've got to get smarter than that.

01:13:14.000 But think about this also.

01:13:15.000 When 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.

01:13:27.000 And so, there's going to come a time when people, they're our best advertisement.

01:13:31.000 I guess that's what I want to say.

01:13:33.000 And all we've got to do is voices like you all's here, and others, just continue to say this.

01:13:38.000 Just 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.

01:13:45.000 That's why I say free the code a lot.

01:13:45.000 That's what I'm talking about.

01:13:47.000 I'm trying to create new memes, because being like, no, they're wrong, is just going to empower them.

01:13:52.000 That's what Republicans do all the time.

01:13:54.000 Instead of Republicans saying, here's what we want and why, they say no to Democrats.

01:13:57.000 Yeah.

01:13:58.000 Michael Malice brought this up.

01:13:59.000 He said, you've got Democrats that are saying, we want universal health care.

01:14:03.000 We want you to give to us.

01:14:06.000 And the Republicans say no.

01:14:07.000 Where'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?

01:14:17.000 Typically, they're resisting Democrats' offense, always on the defense.

01:14:22.000 You know, I give you a great example, and I was sharing this with some folks at CPAC yesterday.

01:14:26.000 Remember the Olympic hammer thrower who came out, she turned her back on the National Athlete Charter?

01:14:31.000 Gwen Berry.

01:14:32.000 Yeah.

01:14:33.000 Wouldn'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.

01:14:49.000 Munich, Germany, 1936.

01:14:50.000 You know who was the Chancellor of Germany right then?

01:14:53.000 Adolf Hitler.

01:14:54.000 And then just at the bottom says, who's the real hero?

01:14:57.000 See, that's how we deconstruct everything that they say.

01:15:00.000 Just like right now with this mandatory vaccinations.

01:15:04.000 Let's just take their language and say, my body, my choice.

01:15:08.000 People have been doing that.

01:15:09.000 I love it.

01:15:09.000 Yeah.

01:15:10.000 Candace Owens tweeted something about how her family has decided, you know, what's best for them.

01:15:13.000 And people called her her pro choice.

01:15:16.000 And I just look at this and I'm like, Here's what happens.

01:15:19.000 You get these young people. 0.94

01:15:20.000 They have no political experience.

01:15:22.000 They see some older person say, here's how you respond to it, but it's nonsensical.

01:15:26.000 The 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.

01:15:38.000 If Candace Owen says, my individual family member made a choice,

01:15:38.000 Echo chamber.

01:15:41.000 she's not deciding for another life.

01:15:43.000 It's like they don't understand anything the conservatives say,

01:15:46.000 and it's probably because they are just in this isolated bubble.

01:15:50.000 They don't talk, they're in the box.

01:15:52.000 Echo chamber.

01:15:53.000 Right.

01:15:54.000 They're in their own echo chamber.

01:15:55.000 And that's why it's so important to understand that when they start to yell and scream at you,

01:16:00.000 when they're starting to call you the names, instead of retreating,

01:16:03.000 remember what Ayn Rand said, the constant retreat, You've got to, you know, more constant pressure because you're

01:16:09.000 winning the debate.

01:16:10.000 You have taken them past their initial little talking point, which is an inch deep, and you need to go on the offense.

01:16:16.000 But 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.

01:16:23.000 But we've got to be more aggressive and continue to pound them with the truth.

01:16:28.000 Yeah.

01:16:29.000 That's why the critical race theory stuff is really effective.

01:16:32.000 It's funny.

01:16:32.000 I mean, we're talking about the stuff in schools.

01:16:34.000 Christopher Ruffo has been leading this charge.

01:16:35.000 James Lindsay as well.

01:16:37.000 And they start screaming, no one's teaching critical race theory.

01:16:40.000 You get John Leguizamo coming out being like, yo, this is just a legal talkie talk or whatever.

01:16:46.000 And 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.

01:16:54.000 So welcome to the same game you've been playing.

01:16:56.000 Absolutely.

01:16:57.000 But 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.

01:16:57.000 And they hate it.

01:17:10.000 And we are going to go after parents who try to, you know, stand up against it.

01:17:15.000 So in other words, what the teachers unions, the left, has decided, is they have initiated a war on parents.

01:17:22.000 Now remember the war on women?

01:17:24.000 Why don't we come out and say, there's a war on parents. 0.97

01:17:27.000 There was a war on parents trying to make sure that their kids are getting a good education and not an indoctrination.

01:17:33.000 Especially in your urban, you know, school districts where kids aren't reading at level.

01:17:39.000 Kids aren't doing math at level.

01:17:40.000 But what do they want?

01:17:41.000 They want to teach them that.

01:17:43.000 Well, Ian, Lydia, see I'm going so fast.

01:17:48.000 Lydia, yeah.

01:17:48.000 Lydia.

01:17:49.000 Ian, Lydia, and Tim, you're oppressing me.

01:17:52.000 Oh, I'm not.

01:17:53.000 Yeah, you are.

01:17:54.000 No, I'm actually- I'll never stop, Alan.

01:17:55.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:17:56.000 Yeah.

01:17:56.000 Your skin is white, man.

01:17:56.000 No, you're not.

01:17:57.000 Nope, nope.

01:17:58.000 So, so- I don't care.

01:17:59.000 No, you're oppressing me.

01:18:00.000 You're conservative.

01:18:01.000 No, you're trying to put it on me.

01:18:02.000 No, you're oppressing me.

01:18:03.000 No, you can't.

01:18:03.000 I can't.

01:18:04.000 Well, I'm a victim.

01:18:04.000 You're conservative.

01:18:05.000 Nope, you're a white supremacist. 0.99

01:18:06.000 I'm a victim, but not- See, look. 0.99

01:18:07.000 That's how I see it.

01:18:08.000 But that's what critical race theory is saying to me.

01:18:11.000 But now you're telling me I'm a victim.

01:18:11.000 Absolutely.

01:18:13.000 Now I'm a victim of you telling me I'm- Oppressing you.

01:18:15.000 No, I'm the victim.

01:18:16.000 It never ends.

01:18:17.000 No, no, no, in critical race theory.

01:18:17.000 It's a cycle.

01:18:19.000 You're stuck in it.

01:18:20.000 Oh no.

01:18:21.000 In critical race theory, it's actually fairly simple. 0.81

01:18:23.000 You as a conservative, instantly become a white supremacist.

01:18:26.000 Now as for me.

01:18:27.000 And that's true, and also Joe Biden said that since I didn't vote for him, I'm not black. 0.98

01:18:31.000 So guess what, I am screwed. 0.97

01:18:33.000 I'm just like you guys. 0.94

01:18:35.000 Now check this out though.

01:18:35.000 Dang, I'm just as white as Lydia.

01:18:37.000 The reality is, for both of us, if we agree with them, then we're both oppressed.

01:18:43.000 If we disagree with them, then we're both racists and our backgrounds don't matter or anything like that.

01:18:48.000 But do you understand how confusing that is?

01:18:49.000 So just teach your kids math and reading and stop screwing around with their minds and trying to indoctrinate them.

01:18:55.000 But 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.

01:19:01.000 Yeah.

01:19:02.000 No one went to school board meetings.

01:19:03.000 No one even cared.

01:19:04.000 But now all of a sudden, you've got parents showing up.

01:19:04.000 Who was that?

01:19:06.000 You've got parents fighting and pushing back.

01:19:08.000 I mean, you had that story about the parent that the, a FOIA request.

01:19:15.000 Oh, we got, we actually, yeah, I pulled this up.

01:19:17.000 So we've got this from the Daily Signal.

01:19:18.000 Mom says school board threatened to sue her for seeking public information on critical race theory in curriculum

01:19:25.000 The craziest thing about it is she found out because in their meeting minute like their their itinerary it says

01:19:31.000 discussion action filing lawsuit against Nicole Solis to challenge filing over 160 APRA requests

01:19:39.000 This is a mom who said I just want documents on the curriculum to see if you're teaching kids critical race

01:19:44.000 theory And then before she gets any notification, they're discussing filing a lawsuit against her over this. 0.95

01:19:49.000 What are they hiding?

01:19:50.000 And see, this is the mom that in 2020, they went after the suburban soccer mom. 0.96

01:19:56.000 Orange man, bad, whatever.

01:19:58.000 But now because of their overreach, they just made that mom an activist. 1.00

01:20:03.000 And they just made that mom engaged in the political process. 1.00

01:20:05.000 And that is going to be the difference.

01:20:07.000 as we go forward.

01:20:08.000 It really, and Lydia and I were talking about this driving up here, too often people have just focused on the federal government.

01:20:15.000 I know who my congressman, my senator, I'm voting for president and nothing else.

01:20:19.000 Now people are starting to realize the school board and the city council, that level of governance that touches you the most.

01:20:26.000 Tip O'Neill said all politics are local.

01:20:28.000 Now people are getting engaged and that is scaring the bejesus out of the left.

01:20:32.000 And you know what I think a lot of people are realizing, too?

01:20:35.000 How important their governors are.

01:20:36.000 A lot of people didn't pay attention to this.

01:20:39.000 And so we were talking about... Well, I hope they pay attention to the race that I'm in.

01:20:42.000 Oh, that's the point, right?

01:20:43.000 So we were... I can't remember who we were talking to.

01:20:45.000 We were talking about Ron DeSantis and maybe a Trump-DeSantis ticket.

01:20:49.000 And 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.

01:21:05.000 And that's what people are starting to realize is that the states are the most important entity.

01:21:11.000 And then from the states, it goes down to the county commissions, to the city councils, to the school boards.

01:21:17.000 And that's where Republicans have not done a real good job of focusing on previously.

01:21:22.000 And that has been a big turn that we saw in the state of Texas.

01:21:26.000 We want back a lot of school board seats. 0.96

01:21:28.000 We want back a lot of city council seats because we got people engaged.

01:21:32.000 We got people focusing on that in our municipal level elections this past May. 0.89

01:21:37.000 You 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. 0.55

01:21:37.000 You got it. 0.55

01:21:50.000 And they will move from blue cities, Democrat cities into rural areas, into red areas.

01:21:58.000 Run for the board with no political affiliation, and then once they're in, indoctrinate the kids.

01:22:03.000 So we're seeing this in West Virginia, in areas that are deep red.

01:22:07.000 You got MAGA flags, Trump flags.

01:22:10.000 There are flags that say F. Biden everywhere.

01:22:12.000 But for some reason, the schools are adamant about critical race-applied principles being taught to these kids.

01:22:18.000 And it's because many of the parents weren't paying attention.

01:22:21.000 They are now.

01:22:22.000 They are now.

01:22:23.000 You were seeing these videos of the moms showing up at this meeting screaming. 0.94

01:22:26.000 There was one really viral video of that black man saying, his kids are being told they can't succeed.

01:22:32.000 Think about how insidious and nefarious it is to tell that man's children they can't succeed.

01:22:38.000 You're trying to make the next generation of victims.

01:22:41.000 And that's what progressive socialism has to have.

01:22:44.000 I mean, if you're a victor, why do you need them?

01:22:47.000 Why do you need the handout?

01:22:49.000 Why do you need to be told to stay at home and we'll send you a check?

01:22:51.000 You know, I want to get out and I want to work for myself.

01:22:53.000 And that's the corruption, that's the undermining of the fabric of America that we see.

01:22:59.000 And that is really the liberty and freedom that you're talking about, Ian.

01:23:03.000 The ability to go out with your own mind and do for yourself. 0.98

01:23:06.000 But 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. 0.98

01:23:14.000 The biggest institutionalization happened over the past year. 0.95

01:23:18.000 When they locked everybody down, shut down the businesses, and then put them on government payments.

01:23:23.000 And now these people are stuck in it.

01:23:25.000 You can't just cancel it.

01:23:26.000 They become institutionalized.

01:23:28.000 So you're getting $16 an hour on average from these payments.

01:23:28.000 Yup.

01:23:31.000 You can't be evicted.

01:23:33.000 Why are you going to go find a job somewhere that pays $60 an hour and get it for free?

01:23:36.000 And that's how they back in went into a living wage.

01:23:40.000 They couldn't get it through a legislative process.

01:23:40.000 That's right.

01:23:42.000 So what did they do?

01:23:43.000 They 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.

01:23:53.000 But 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.

01:24:02.000 Of course.

01:24:03.000 Out here, we've been growing a lot of our own food.

01:24:05.000 It's a rugged individualism once you get outside the city.

01:24:07.000 That's right.

01:24:08.000 But even myself growing up in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia, we had our own garden.

01:24:13.000 And you know, got back there with my dad, and we worked the garden, we grew our own food and whatever.

01:24:17.000 But how much of that do you see today?

01:24:19.000 But people need to.

01:24:20.000 They got to.

01:24:22.000 When the government comes and says, now you're dependent upon us, you can say, I'll grow my own food.

01:24:22.000 Exactly.

01:24:27.000 It kind of started off like, as Americans, we were all kind of decentralized.

01:24:30.000 We 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.

01:24:38.000 And 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.

01:24:51.000 And 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.

01:24:59.000 Ah, but now what are they doing?

01:25:01.000 You have the Facebook, you have the Twitters and the YouTubes that are going out and saying, eh, that content we're going to censor.

01:25:08.000 And it's pressure, like the Ayn Rand quote.

01:25:11.000 This is what I explain to people.

01:25:12.000 They're not outright banning us.

01:25:15.000 They're slowly, slowly banning channels.

01:25:18.000 They've given Steven Crowder several strikes.

01:25:20.000 They're really close trying to get rid of him.

01:25:23.000 And one of the strikes Crowder got was for quoting CDC data.

01:25:26.000 They don't care.

01:25:27.000 Now for us, we get the applied pressure.

01:25:29.000 That's where people mention, hey, I don't get notifications for your videos anymore.

01:25:34.000 It'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.

01:25:49.000 Then 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.

01:25:57.000 These 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.

01:26:03.000 They isolate the audience that can watch a show like this.

01:26:06.000 So that over time, we don't get new viewers, but we slowly, slowly lose viewers.

01:26:11.000 True.

01:26:11.000 Unless... They bleed you out.

01:26:13.000 Right.

01:26:13.000 However, I think we've been doing a particularly good job.

01:26:16.000 I think Crowder has.

01:26:17.000 We are growing regardless.

01:26:18.000 That's why I say sharing this video and sharing the videos of the creators you like shuts down that attempt to put obstacles in our way.

01:26:25.000 They're gonna give as many advantages as possible to all of the left channels. 0.98

01:26:29.000 These podcasts appear on the front page.

01:26:30.000 You've never used a computer before, you open it up, you turn on YouTube, boom, there's a left-wing mainstream establishment podcast.

01:26:36.000 For stuff like this, anti-establishment, or right-wing content, nah, it's not gonna happen.

01:26:41.000 They're gonna push you down, they're gonna hide you from the main algorithm, you're not gonna see what's happening.

01:26:47.000 But incident understanding, again, Liddy and I, we had a great conversation driving up from Reagan Airport.

01:26:54.000 This is the brave new world that we're living in.

01:26:54.000 This is 1984.

01:26:58.000 And, you know, young people, I just gotta ask, why do you want to hang out with control freaks?

01:27:05.000 I 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?

01:27:11.000 You know, all of this stuff.

01:27:12.000 I thought, you know, me being a dad, now a grandpa, you know, my daughters always say, leave me alone.

01:27:17.000 Let me do my own thing.

01:27:18.000 But now you've got, you know, big government coming in and telling you exactly everything.

01:27:22.000 You know, flying up here, and we were discussing this.

01:27:26.000 I am sick and tired of hearing the constant drone in the airport.

01:27:30.000 The TSA, the law, says that you must wear a mask in the airport.

01:27:35.000 Not failing to wear a mask will result in a fine or criminal penalties.

01:27:39.000 And I'm thinking, say, what law?

01:27:42.000 There's never been a law.

01:27:44.000 I think Thomas Massey tweeted this.

01:27:46.000 We never voted on that.

01:27:46.000 No, that's what I'm saying.

01:27:47.000 There's never been a law.

01:27:48.000 And what is a law?

01:27:49.000 I 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.

01:27:55.000 There was never a law that says that we have to wear a mask in airports or, you know, wherever.

01:28:01.000 But 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.

01:28:14.000 And 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.

01:28:24.000 When was it signed?

01:28:25.000 When was it passed?

01:28:26.000 When was it signed?

01:28:27.000 Because it was not.

01:28:28.000 And so we are moving away from being a constitutional republic to being a constitutional monarchy where someone's just sitting back and signing stuff.

01:28:36.000 It's not even necessarily a monarchy.

01:28:37.000 It's something.

01:28:38.000 It's despotism.

01:28:40.000 Yes.

01:28:41.000 You saw it with these governors.

01:28:42.000 Totalitarian.

01:28:43.000 Yeah.

01:28:44.000 It was remarkable.

01:28:45.000 Cuomo.

01:28:46.000 He killed 15,000 people.

01:28:48.000 And nothing happens.

01:28:48.000 Yeah.

01:28:49.000 He's gonna get away with it.

01:28:49.000 Yeah.

01:28:50.000 He got away with it as far as I can tell.

01:28:52.000 Right.

01:28:52.000 And he will.

01:28:54.000 That's horrifying.

01:28:55.000 It really, really is.

01:28:56.000 Or Whitmer and everyone else. 0.99

01:28:58.000 He was warned that if he put sick people in these nursing homes, he would kill them. 0.99

01:29:03.000 And he had the Mercy vessel, he had the Javit Center, and he said, meh, kill the people instead. 1.00

01:29:09.000 And that's it. 0.99

01:29:10.000 He gets away with it.

01:29:11.000 The only scandal that erupts.

01:29:12.000 Okay, so that was a bit of a scandal, but then, oh no, he inappropriately talked to women!

01:29:17.000 And touched them. I mean, that's bad for sure. But wow, he can kill 15,000 people in the media is more concerned that

01:29:24.000 he was inappropriate with women. 0.98

01:29:25.000 Yeah, he did the Bill Clinton, you know, grab us.

01:29:28.000 It's a I'll tell you one thing. Watching some of these stories about schools and the indoctrination of children. I'm

01:29:36.000 mixed in my pessimism and optimism.

01:29:39.000 I'm optimistic.

01:29:40.000 Steve 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.

01:29:47.000 And I think he's right.

01:29:48.000 Absolutely.

01:29:49.000 I 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?

01:29:54.000 Like, they're not going to stand for that.

01:29:56.000 But I'll tell you what makes me really optimistic is what you're talking about with the states.

01:29:59.000 The power the states have, and we've seen it.

01:30:01.000 Ron DeSantis, hitting it out of the park.

01:30:04.000 Texas is doing pretty good.

01:30:05.000 Pretty good, I think.

01:30:07.000 Maybe when you're in there.

01:30:08.000 Yeah, I mean we lost some 10,000 small businesses and really...

01:30:13.000 Ron DeSantis is the gold standard right now.

01:30:17.000 Look, our border.

01:30:20.000 We should not be sitting around asking for a mother may I from the federal government.

01:30:24.000 We should be doing everything possible to protect and secure our border.

01:30:27.000 I wanted to follow up on that a little.

01:30:28.000 If you were going to establish the National Guard to protect the border, how would that work long term?

01:30:34.000 Would they stay there for long periods of time?

01:30:36.000 They stay there until we get this thing under control. 0.62

01:30:38.000 They stay there until we have, you know, driven the cartel into to be irrelevant.

01:30:44.000 They stay there until we make sure that we get that situation because you got to stem the flow.

01:30:49.000 And 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.

01:30:58.000 Would 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?

01:31:05.000 Well, 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.

01:31:14.000 I mean, you're not coming into Texas to hang out, okay?

01:31:18.000 You come across, and that's the deterrent.

01:31:22.000 That's the deterrent that was there, the remain-in-Mexico policy of President Trump, that the Biden administration flipped.

01:31:28.000 And I think it's Section 42, which is the, you know, the COVID emergency order that President Trump put in place.

01:31:37.000 If they lift that, then Katie barred the door. 1.00

01:31:39.000 There's even more people that's going to come across.

01:31:41.000 I think it's remarkable that taking control of your borders is racist, according to Democrats.

01:31:49.000 Well, you know, like I said, I ain't really black.

01:31:53.000 But then again, you know, Tim, that's what I'm saying.

01:31:56.000 I'm not responding to those insidious names.

01:31:58.000 Just do it!

01:32:00.000 And that's the problem with Republicans because they put themselves in the box, in the corner that the left is trying to create for them.

01:32:08.000 It's just saying, you know, I'm tired of your name calling.

01:32:11.000 We're going to do what's right by the rule of law.

01:32:12.000 Absolutely.

01:32:13.000 Let's take super chats!

01:32:15.000 For 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.

01:32:23.000 We're going to have a spicy bonus segment, or members-only podcast episode.

01:32:27.000 It'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.

01:32:40.000 Many of you may be familiar with the story, but we're going to get into that one.

01:32:43.000 But let's read some superchats.

01:32:45.000 I would love to.

01:32:51.000 Yeah, but, you know, we were looking at a bunch of states before we settled on here.

01:32:59.000 My fear with Texas is all the people from California and Arizona, they're coming, they're coming in, they're gonna start voting.

01:33:05.000 There are two types of people, as we talked about, I think, before we went on camera.

01:33:09.000 There are the folks that are leaving California, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey that are sick and tired of those places.

01:33:15.000 They're conservatives, and they want to be in a place like Texas for the right principles and values.

01:33:19.000 But then, when you transport those large employment bases, and you see where they're settling in.

01:33:26.000 They're settling in in North Texas.

01:33:27.000 They're settling in down there in Houston, Harris County.

01:33:30.000 That's the concern.

01:33:31.000 All of the major urban population centers in Texas, Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso are controlled by the left.

01:33:40.000 And 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.

01:33:47.000 We have got to get into those urban population centers.

01:33:50.000 And exactly what we've done, engaging with the Hispanic community, engaged with the black community, they're conservative in nature.

01:33:55.000 We've just got to remind them of that.

01:33:57.000 Alright, we got Zachary Birdy says, Lieutenant Colonel West, Texas voter here.

01:34:01.000 Governor Abbott has made it clear that marijuana decriminalization is off the table while he is in office.

01:34:06.000 How do you view the issue of marijuana legalization?

01:34:08.000 I support medical marijuana, but as far as legalizing marijuana, look,

01:34:13.000 I'm probably not the guy to talk to about that.

01:34:16.000 I'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.

01:34:22.000 And when you look at some of these other states that have legalized marijuana, such as in Colorado, they have some other issues.

01:34:28.000 I 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.

01:34:36.000 Why?

01:34:37.000 Because the government comes in and they institute regulations, okay?

01:34:40.000 You know what it has done, though?

01:34:41.000 It's hindered the cartels very much so.

01:34:45.000 Makes it really hard for them to compete when you've got Colorado with all their legal... Yeah, but they're shifting the fentanyl.

01:34:50.000 And avocados, actually.

01:34:52.000 No joke.

01:34:53.000 Well, I'm not a big guacamole guy.

01:34:57.000 But 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.

01:35:06.000 Enough fentanyl to kill 21 million Americans.

01:35:09.000 Sinaloa cartel.

01:35:11.000 Now, where's the Sinaloa cartel operating across from?

01:35:14.000 Across from Texas.

01:35:15.000 So that shows you how that affects you.

01:35:18.000 With medical marijuana, I get concerned with red flag laws.

01:35:21.000 So if someone goes in and they're like, I have an elbow injury, and they get medical marijuana, that's cool.

01:35:25.000 But when they go, I have stress, and then they get medical marijuana, then they get put on a list.

01:35:29.000 Well, you've got to be very careful.

01:35:31.000 I've got some very dear friends, and their son has these epileptic seizures.

01:35:36.000 And, you know, it's been proven that that can help assuage his epileptic seizures.

01:35:40.000 Yeah, CBD.

01:35:41.000 Absolutely.

01:35:41.000 So those are the type of things we have to look at.

01:35:44.000 But, you know, going in and saying, hey man, I just stumped my toe.

01:35:46.000 I got a hangnail.

01:35:48.000 I need some, you know, the THC.

01:35:49.000 Nah, that's not what I'm talking about.

01:35:50.000 It's the CBD that's really good.

01:35:52.000 CBD is very good.

01:35:53.000 Non-psychoactive.

01:35:54.000 Absolutely.

01:35:55.000 All right.

01:35:56.000 Jackson Kai says, Tim, would you consider having Robert Barnes on the show?

01:35:56.000 Let's see.

01:35:59.000 He's followed you for a long time and said he'd love it if you've had him on.

01:36:03.000 Has a lot of inside info from Trump to Rittenhouse.

01:36:06.000 We will.

01:36:07.000 Yes, absolutely.

01:36:08.000 We'll figure out the schedule and we will look into Robert Barnes.

01:36:12.000 I recently watched an episode of Viva Frey and Robert Barnes, of course.

01:36:15.000 I'm very familiar with who they are.

01:36:17.000 All right.

01:36:18.000 Josh L. says, Big fan, Tim, Ian, Lydia, and Lieutenant Colonel Alan West.

01:36:23.000 I'm curious what Mr. West thinks of military movies.

01:36:25.000 Just watched The Tomorrow War.

01:36:27.000 Are there any very realistic movies, military movies you'd recommend?

01:36:32.000 Well, I will tell you without a doubt, when you look at Black Hawk Down, that was very realistic.

01:36:38.000 I loved, you know, Saving Private Ryan.

01:36:40.000 I 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.

01:36:56.000 So, those are the type of movies that I really appreciate.

01:37:00.000 And, you know, like I said, last night I was watching the French and Indian War, The Last of the Mohicans.

01:37:06.000 Yeah.

01:37:06.000 Did you see Platoon?

01:37:07.000 Yeah, I saw Platoon, but, you know, that was kind of over the top.

01:37:10.000 You took everything that was bad about Vietnam and you put it in a two and a half hour movie.

01:37:15.000 And my older brother was in Vietnam.

01:37:17.000 Were there problems in Vietnam?

01:37:18.000 Absolutely.

01:37:19.000 But I think Oliver Stone, you know, took that from a political approach.

01:37:23.000 It was modeled around his time, too.

01:37:25.000 He served in Vietnam.

01:37:27.000 I think that was a lot about his personal experiences he tried to tie in.

01:37:32.000 All right.

01:37:33.000 Let's see.

01:37:35.000 Emerus Lilium, Aramurus Lilium says, For Alan West, first, thank you for your service.

01:37:41.000 Second, I'm going into the Air Force as soon as a geospatial intelligence analyst.

01:37:47.000 Any words of advice?

01:37:49.000 I 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.

01:38:01.000 You know, in the military, we take a note to the Constitution.

01:38:03.000 But it is almost getting to the point where we're trying to make people take a note to an ideology.

01:38:07.000 And critical race theory should not be being implemented in our United States military.

01:38:11.000 You cannot have an effective and cohesive force if you're telling one group that they're oppressed and the other group is an oppressor.

01:38:17.000 And the other thing that concerns me, the lieutenant colonel who was relieved of command in the Space Force, Because he spoke out against Marxism.

01:38:25.000 Well, Marxism is the antithesis to our Constitution.

01:38:28.000 So 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.

01:38:39.000 But 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.

01:38:47.000 Right on.

01:38:48.000 Brandon L. Martin says Tim, have you thought about bringing on the average voter to the show?

01:38:52.000 The well-known political pundits are great, but it would be interesting to see average voters and hear their voices on

01:38:57.000 current events we did talk about that for some time getting some like

01:39:00.000 regular working-class people onto the show, but actually I think what works better is

01:39:06.000 Doing a different show with regular working people. So some kind of either

01:39:11.000 One or the other or both panel discussions where we have like a few different people talking, you know

01:39:17.000 We can ask questions and then actually just having like an open forum discussion

01:39:22.000 The 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?

01:39:37.000 Get the answer.

01:39:38.000 What do you think about the lockdowns?

01:39:39.000 Get an answer.

01:39:40.000 Then COVID happened, so... But!

01:39:42.000 We're expanding.

01:39:43.000 The next show we're going to be launching is the Mysteries show.

01:39:47.000 We have a name for it.

01:39:47.000 It's going to be epic.

01:39:48.000 The stories are awesome.

01:39:50.000 And then we've got Chicken City, which is silly and very, very easy to set up and kind of just a side thing.

01:39:54.000 But we're going to be doing this, like, regular people-in-the-world kind of stuff.

01:39:58.000 Some man-on-the-street stuff.

01:39:59.000 And we're getting into that.

01:39:59.000 We're also going to be doing short documentaries.

01:40:01.000 on the ground investigations. We have now I think we have seven people working in the newsroom so

01:40:07.000 far and the site's going to be launching soon. If you were watching earlier we had an alpha

01:40:11.000 version you could see the site for a brief moment. There's a lot of work that has to be

01:40:14.000 done on it but it's going to be great. Hey I want to touch on Chicken City for a second.

01:40:18.000 The early bird is the rooster, by the way.

01:40:21.000 He gets he's making sure everybody gets that worm.

01:40:23.000 I 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.

01:40:34.000 No, no, he doesn't scream in the morning.

01:40:36.000 He just screams all the time.

01:40:38.000 Dude, he'll come up to you a foot away from your face and look at you and then scream full volume.

01:40:43.000 Over and over.

01:40:43.000 That's right.

01:40:44.000 Yeah, like in the middle of the day.

01:40:45.000 He's not screaming because it's the morning.

01:40:47.000 He's screaming because he woke up in the morning.

01:40:50.000 He wakes up and he's like, oh, I'm awake.

01:40:53.000 He just yells what he does.

01:40:54.000 It's hilarious to watch him.

01:40:56.000 It's really funny how he, like, man, chicken rape culture, man. 0.90

01:41:01.000 Oh, it's bad.

01:41:02.000 It's like the rooster just... A dark underbelly of chicken life.

01:41:06.000 That rooster, man, he's not playing around.

01:41:08.000 We didn't get a rooster.

01:41:08.000 We didn't know we had a rooster.

01:41:09.000 It was assigned a female at birth and then grew up into a guy and we were like, I guess we have a rooster, but we wanted one anyway.

01:41:16.000 So he wasn't identifying.

01:41:17.000 You know, we thought it was a hen until it started to go through, you know, chicken puberty.

01:41:22.000 And then we called the farm and he was like... And no puberty blockers or hormones?

01:41:26.000 No, none of that, none of that.

01:41:27.000 All natural.

01:41:28.000 Good.

01:41:30.000 And now it's huge.

01:41:32.000 He's a big rooster. 0.59

01:41:32.000 He's a big beast. 0.59

01:41:33.000 He's gonna get bigger too.

01:41:34.000 I like that guy.

01:41:35.000 Yeah, he's well fed, to put it mildly.

01:41:37.000 We let him in the farm.

01:41:38.000 They stole all the tomatoes.

01:41:39.000 They went right for the tomatoes.

01:41:40.000 Stole as many as they could.

01:41:41.000 It was hilarious.

01:41:42.000 One was running around with a cherry tomato and I'm chasing it.

01:41:45.000 Ah, it's good fun.

01:41:46.000 It's good fun.

01:41:47.000 All right, let's see where we're at.

01:41:51.000 The Sinister Sibling says, I'm not American, so I don't fully understand.

01:41:54.000 In my opinion, haven't the Texas Democrats essentially forfeited their positions of power in the Texas state government?

01:42:00.000 Yes, they have.

01:42:01.000 And 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.

01:42:12.000 Right on.

01:42:13.000 All right.

01:42:14.000 Bryant Chacon says, as an American born to Cuban immigrants, I spent several summers in Cuba and I've seen the poverty firsthand.

01:42:20.000 Great to see them standing up.

01:42:22.000 Libertad.

01:42:23.000 That's right.

01:42:24.000 Amen.

01:42:25.000 All right.

01:42:26.000 P. 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.

01:42:36.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:42:37.000 And it's a sad thing that Texas was not the first state to get constitutional carry passed.

01:42:42.000 It was the 21st.

01:42:43.000 And doesn't Texas have, like, a course to get a handgun license or something like that?

01:42:47.000 Yeah, 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.

01:42:55.000 But 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.

01:43:01.000 That's what constitutional carry is all about.

01:43:03.000 That's right.

01:43:03.000 Bernie Sanders has it.

01:43:05.000 In Vermont.

01:43:06.000 It's crazy.

01:43:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:43:10.000 All right.

01:43:11.000 Kiyo Katsuma says, should I be worried trying to find a based lawyer in Chicago?

01:43:15.000 My equity and inclusion director is inviting us to training to talk about how whiteness impacts us as an organization and individuals.

01:43:23.000 I don't know, man.

01:43:24.000 Probably Chicago might be hard, but the Chicago suburbs are actually fairly moderate.

01:43:28.000 And if you go a little bit further out, you'll find a lot of Republicans.

01:43:30.000 I mean, Illinois is almost entirely Republican, except for Chicago.

01:43:33.000 But 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.

01:43:41.000 I'm here to, these are my duties and responsibilities.

01:43:43.000 I'm not here for you to indoctrinate me into a certain ideology.

01:43:47.000 Yeah.

01:43:48.000 All right.

01:43:49.000 Let's see what we got.

01:43:52.000 Um, let's see.

01:43:53.000 Actually, I think YouTube would ban us if I read that one.

01:43:55.000 So, you know, sometimes I just keep going.

01:43:58.000 James says, I'm glad I'm a TimCast.com supporter, because YouTube is gonna demonetize this video.

01:44:02.000 You 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.

01:44:14.000 We started putting ads on the podcast version of things, but Super Chats help make this show, keep it live.

01:44:20.000 There'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!

01:44:28.000 But 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?

01:44:43.000 I 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.

01:44:53.000 I mean, you know, the Stasi and all of this stuff.

01:44:56.000 It's happening here.

01:44:57.000 The 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.

01:45:08.000 Yeah, it's really weird.

01:45:09.000 That would've been awesome.

01:45:10.000 Had you considered that?

01:45:10.000 Oh, right.

01:45:10.000 Oh, well.

01:45:11.000 Or is that just something you gotta get asked about?

01:45:13.000 You know what?

01:45:14.000 Yeah.

01:45:14.000 You don't, like, run for VP.

01:45:16.000 Someone has to want you to do that.

01:45:17.000 the VP choice instead of Pence.

01:45:18.000 That would have been awesome.

01:45:19.000 In 2016.

01:45:20.000 Oh, well.

01:45:21.000 Had you considered that?

01:45:22.000 Or is that just something you gotta get asked about?

01:45:24.000 You know what, yeah, you don't like run for VP.

01:45:27.000 You gotta, someone has to want you to do that.

01:45:29.000 Yeah.

01:45:30.000 But right now, the most important thing is that we have got to get Texas under control

01:45:34.000 because they are targeting Texas and if you destabilize Texas, the country's gone.

01:45:39.000 Mm.

01:45:40.000 Michael Ford says, as a lifelong Texan, I love Greg Abbott, but I love Colonel West.

01:45:45.000 It is going to be a hard-fought election.

01:45:47.000 If Abbott wins, at least Mr. West will force him farther right.

01:45:51.000 Yeah, but the sad thing is that that's a politician's way.

01:45:55.000 That I am just going to change my policies and my views and my visions just to get re-elected.

01:46:01.000 And if that's how you feel about what Greg Abbott is going to do, what does that say about what you're voting for?

01:46:07.000 Yep.

01:46:08.000 That's right.

01:46:08.000 That's a good point.

01:46:10.000 All right, Greg Duvier says, I became a member last Friday since you pulled your video from YouTube.

01:46:14.000 I've been enjoying listening to Tim and Ian uncensored.

01:46:17.000 Oh yeah, we swear that it's not family friendly.

01:46:20.000 Yeah, so this YouTube version is more of a PG-13.

01:46:23.000 Get ready for this.

01:46:24.000 Oh, we don't, we don't bleep in the members only.

01:46:26.000 Oh, no, it's live.

01:46:28.000 Yeah. 0.79

01:46:28.000 YouTube 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. 0.79

01:46:37.000 Yeah.

01:46:38.000 We do what we can.

01:46:38.000 So we do what we can.

01:46:39.000 And the members only suffer.

01:46:40.000 But 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.

01:46:54.000 No, it's crazy.

01:46:55.000 This technocracy This technocracy that's building, technocracy rising, I'm done with it.

01:47:02.000 We 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.

01:47:09.000 And it's a mobocracy too.

01:47:11.000 It's terrifying.

01:47:12.000 I know the Republic is built to prevent against that.

01:47:15.000 But these representatives also are getting bribed, so I'm interested in taking them out of the equation if we can.

01:47:22.000 What do you mean?

01:47:24.000 Voting people out and stuff?

01:47:25.000 Yeah, 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.

01:47:31.000 Instead 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.

01:47:41.000 It goes to a computer.

01:47:42.000 The computer will say the tally is yay or no.

01:47:45.000 And then you have 430 of those yay or no's and then you add them together.

01:47:49.000 You don't need a person to collect it and say it for you that's going to get bribed and lie and do what they want.

01:47:54.000 Well, then you have to get involved in the system to make sure that you have someone that is participating in a

01:47:59.000 representative democracy.

01:48:01.000 Because the fear is that, you know, you don't want a pure democracy.

01:48:04.000 A pure democracy leans itself toward tyranny.

01:48:06.000 Now, referendums, that's something that you can have at a local level.

01:48:10.000 Case in point, the Austin City Council, very far left-leaning, they came out with that homeless camping ordinance.

01:48:16.000 The 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?

01:48:23.000 And guess what?

01:48:24.000 They overturned that homeless camping ordinance in Austin, Texas.

01:48:28.000 Yeah, referendums exist in not every state, but a lot of states.

01:48:31.000 A lot of states.

01:48:31.000 What's that, like a direct democracy?

01:48:33.000 You get enough signatures... On an issue.

01:48:35.000 Yeah, and it gets added on the ballot.

01:48:37.000 Yeah, like in California.

01:48:38.000 That bothers me.

01:48:39.000 I don't like direct democracy, because mob... But you're just calling for direct democracy.

01:48:42.000 No, I want a more direct republic.

01:48:44.000 So rather than have these House members that are basically fielding their constituents... Who drafts the bill?

01:48:51.000 The populace could.

01:48:52.000 I mean, I love the national initiative for that situation.

01:48:55.000 Well, you could allow them to still draft bills, but maybe not vote on them.

01:49:00.000 The representatives?

01:49:01.000 Yeah.

01:49:02.000 I don't think that system quite makes sense.

01:49:03.000 I don't know, man.

01:49:04.000 They're getting bribed.

01:49:05.000 And that's a big vulnerability in the system.

01:49:07.000 Here's what you've got to understand.

01:49:08.000 It's not necessarily that they're getting bribed.

01:49:10.000 There was this famous moment where Marco Rubio was accused of taking money from the NRA, which has corrupted him.

01:49:15.000 And he says, no, no, no.

01:49:16.000 I think it was Rubio.

01:49:17.000 It might have been Cruz.

01:49:18.000 I think it was Rubio.

01:49:19.000 It is Rubio.

01:49:19.000 Yeah, I don't take money from the NRA.

01:49:21.000 It's that the NRA gives me money because they like my views on gun rights.

01:49:24.000 Yeah, and we take them out to lunch.

01:49:27.000 So what's really happening is not bribery.

01:49:28.000 It's that the candidates you see up top are the ones who have the acceptable views by the various special interest groups.

01:49:34.000 Yeah, right.

01:49:35.000 Bernie Sanders and Trump got a lot of donations from regular people, though, and that pushed them up to the top.

01:49:35.000 That's what we're told.

01:49:39.000 Bernie, 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.

01:49:49.000 I mean, he walked up and just kicked it and stormed in.

01:49:52.000 He did not need that money.

01:49:55.000 I mean, he was able to come and fuel himself.

01:49:58.000 Now, as opposed to a Bloomberg who could have, you know, fueled it, but he didn't have a message.

01:50:03.000 And he was just all over the place. 0.58

01:50:05.000 The hypocrisy and the irony just lived through him.

01:50:08.000 It's going to get real interesting next year, 2023 and 2024.

01:50:14.000 Cuz right now we're in the lull.

01:50:15.000 We're in the calm before the storm.

01:50:17.000 The presidential election ends.

01:50:19.000 Everybody's a little burned out, tired.

01:50:21.000 No elections.

01:50:23.000 No big.

01:50:24.000 Next year's the midterms.

01:50:25.000 Republicans, if they take back that house.

01:50:27.000 Ooh.

01:50:28.000 What will they do with the power?

01:50:30.000 Probably not a whole lot, but the Democrats are still worried about it.

01:50:32.000 Remember what history has shown that Bill Clinton, his first midterm election, lost 54 seats, contrary with America, Newt Gingrich.

01:50:40.000 Barack Obama lost 63 congressional seats in his first midterm election.

01:50:44.000 So that's why it comes back to H.R.1 and S.1.

01:50:47.000 That's why they want to have all of these things that they did in November 2020 codified into law so they can protect themselves.

01:50:54.000 Absolutely.

01:50:55.000 Right now, so they can protect themselves about what's going to come down the pipe next.

01:50:59.000 Yeah.

01:50:59.000 November.

01:51:00.000 Alright, Crafter says, Alan West, you're a great inspiration and I'm happy to see you on the TimCast IRL again.

01:51:05.000 Tim, thank you for having Lieutenant Colonel Alan West on again.

01:51:07.000 Hello and thank you to Ian and Lydia and all those making TimCast IRL.

01:51:11.000 Canadian, but the border is concerning.

01:51:14.000 Yeah, people in Canada are basically locked up.

01:51:16.000 Yeah, they're locked down. 0.80

01:51:18.000 Crazy.

01:51:19.000 Yeah.

01:51:19.000 Yep.

01:51:20.000 It's creepy, man.

01:51:22.000 All right, let's see.

01:51:23.000 Brandon Tom says, Thank you, sir.

01:51:25.000 Regarding the idea of parties switching, please explain how the Republicans became the party of small government since the Civil War.

01:51:31.000 I thought the Union was the industrialized, populist side of the war.

01:51:36.000 Well, I think when you talk about smaller government, what you're looking at is a federal government that is less intrusive.

01:51:41.000 They don't want to have the bigger government policies.

01:51:44.000 They 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.

01:51:53.000 That's what they want to try to do.

01:51:54.000 They want to have less regulations.

01:51:56.000 And 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.

01:52:03.000 That's real constitutional conservatism.

01:52:05.000 That's what the Republican Party is supposed to be about when they say the lower taxes, the smaller government, things of that nature.

01:52:12.000 But again, being a progressive has nothing to do with the political party.

01:52:17.000 It has everything to do with how you see the relationship between the individual and the institution of government.

01:52:22.000 And if you believe that the institution of government is sovereign and supreme over the individual, you're a progressive.

01:52:27.000 That's just the bottom line.

01:52:28.000 Progressive is just fancy branding.

01:52:30.000 Fancy branding.

01:52:32.000 They were the original eugenicists. 0.90

01:52:32.000 Absolutely. 0.90

01:52:34.000 They wanted only, what do they call it?

01:52:34.000 Yes.

01:52:38.000 They wanted specific people to have kids and not other people they didn't like.

01:52:40.000 It's so messed up because progress is so key and needed.

01:52:44.000 But that is how they can manipulate language because, you know, why would you want to be progressive?

01:52:51.000 I mean, even we have, don't you like flow?

01:52:53.000 Don't you want progressive insurance?

01:52:57.000 All right, we got Greg McCormick.

01:52:58.000 He says, future Governor West, thank you for your service.

01:53:01.000 My pleasure.

01:53:02.000 South Dakota is much like Texas and Florida in regards to freedoms and leadership.

01:53:05.000 However, we lack real leadership in the U.S.

01:53:08.000 Senate with John Thune.

01:53:10.000 We need help getting him replaced.

01:53:12.000 Do you have any ideas?

01:53:13.000 No, 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.

01:53:23.000 And, 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. 0.77

01:53:30.000 And 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.

01:53:47.000 And then after I'm reelected, I'll go right back to the same way.

01:53:50.000 And 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.

01:53:57.000 Look, Donald Trump came in and he did exactly what he said.

01:54:01.000 And that was just amazing.

01:54:04.000 A person that ran for political office that owned up to his promises.

01:54:07.000 I think it's storming.

01:54:09.000 It is totally storming.

01:54:10.000 If the power goes out, we'll panic and then plug in a bunch of batteries.

01:54:13.000 Yeah, it'll be fine.

01:54:14.000 All right.

01:54:16.000 Are we good?

01:54:16.000 I don't know if the storm interrupted, but... No, I'm good.

01:54:18.000 All right, we're good, because this one's a good one.

01:54:20.000 Captain says, Tim, you inspired me.

01:54:22.000 29-inch M82A1 in flat, dark earth is on order.

01:54:27.000 So we did a video where I took out my .50 BMG M82 and, you know, we set it up and we fired it.

01:54:32.000 We all missed, but we got a glancing shot on the steel target.

01:54:35.000 We were hoping the steel target would actually just... Yeah.

01:54:38.000 ...vaporize.

01:54:38.000 What was the range?

01:54:40.000 Oh man, it was pretty decent.

01:54:41.000 Uh, I'm not sure.

01:54:41.000 Thousand?

01:54:43.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:54:43.000 Yeah.

01:54:43.000 Maybe, yeah.

01:54:44.000 We were, we were a bit far away and it was a lot of fun.

01:54:47.000 And, uh, you know, we, we, we had, I forgot what it's called.

01:54:50.000 I think it's like an RN-52 or something.

01:54:51.000 Do you know what I'm talking about?

01:54:52.000 Breach loaded, uh, uh, 50 BMG.

01:54:55.000 Wow.

01:54:56.000 Yeah, that hurt.

01:54:57.000 And I didn't fire that one.

01:54:58.000 So that's just, you put it in, you screw in the back, and then it goes all the force into your shoulder.

01:55:04.000 So Luke fired around, my friend Luke, and the shockwave shut my phone off.

01:55:09.000 Because I was standing right next to him filming, and then my phone just turns off.

01:55:13.000 And I was like, Oh, come on.

01:55:14.000 So I, they were like, go behind on the next one because you're going to hit.

01:55:18.000 And it was like, but with the M82, it's, it's semi-automatic.

01:55:21.000 So a lot of that energy gets used for the reload.

01:55:23.000 So it's, it's actually not that bad.

01:55:24.000 Yeah.

01:55:24.000 Okay.

01:55:25.000 Yeah.

01:55:25.000 It was, it was, it was a whole lot of fun.

01:55:26.000 Do you have favorite weapons you've used over the years?

01:55:29.000 Yeah, you know, one of my favorite is the M1 Garand.

01:55:32.000 I have one of those and I just love going out there because you know, General Patton said that was the weapon that changed World War Two.

01:55:39.000 Does that use a clip?

01:55:40.000 Yeah.

01:55:41.000 Wow.

01:55:41.000 It's so cool.

01:55:42.000 I mean, you find a ping, it pops right out and it's just an awesome weapon.

01:55:45.000 What was it that turned the tide of World War Two?

01:55:49.000 I think it was the ingenuity of the individual American soldier.

01:55:54.000 And if you think about what happened on D-Day, centralized control.

01:55:58.000 They could not reposition the German forces without the approval of Adolf Hitler. 0.55

01:56:03.000 And that just enabled us to maneuver and do what was necessary.

01:56:07.000 And we got that foothold into Normandy and then we marched inland across France.

01:56:12.000 And 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. 0.58

01:56:21.000 Yeah.

01:56:22.000 It's funny because we make fun of, you know, Futurama, Zep Brannigan, like, I send wave after wave of my own men.

01:56:22.000 1942.

01:56:27.000 Actually, yeah, the Soviets were just like cheap crap and lots of it. 1.00

01:56:31.000 And they sacrificed just people. 0.99

01:56:32.000 They 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.

01:56:40.000 Enemy at the gates.

01:56:41.000 I didn't see it.

01:56:42.000 You didn't see the movie?

01:56:43.000 Enemy at the Gates.

01:56:44.000 Yeah, about the great Russian sniper Vasily Zaitsev.

01:56:48.000 Yeah.

01:56:48.000 Whoa.

01:56:51.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:56:54.000 It's Leo says, I am 23 in Texas who wants desperately to make things happen that will defend our freedom.

01:57:00.000 The problem is I have no idea where to start.

01:57:02.000 Mr. West, what do you advise as a fellow Texan?

01:57:05.000 Do I run for office?

01:57:06.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:57:07.000 And let me tell you why.

01:57:09.000 Down 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.

01:57:20.000 And 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.

01:57:29.000 Let's get them in the school board.

01:57:30.000 Who knows better about what's going on in our schools than someone that recently graduated from those schools?

01:57:35.000 And so that's how you build your farm team.

01:57:37.000 So I would say go out and see what you can do there locally in your city council and school boards and get engaged and get involved.

01:57:43.000 Right on.

01:57:44.000 All right, Abe Eckstein says, Larry Elder just announced he's running for governor in California.

01:57:49.000 Wow, wouldn't that be amazing?

01:57:51.000 Is that true?

01:57:52.000 Yes, it is.

01:57:52.000 Larry Elder, California.

01:57:54.000 That would be absolutely amazing.

01:57:57.000 Let's do it.

01:57:58.000 I would not want to debate Larry Elder.

01:58:02.000 Yeah, but I mean, I mean, I wouldn't want to.

01:58:04.000 I'd be like, yeah, let me know.

01:58:06.000 I just, I'll take your word for it.

01:58:07.000 Like, I don't need to debate him.

01:58:07.000 You know what I mean?

01:58:08.000 He can give me advice, you know?

01:58:10.000 Have him run California.

01:58:10.000 Yeah.

01:58:12.000 That'd be fantastic.

01:58:14.000 The problem with California is...

01:58:14.000 This is so crazy.

01:58:16.000 Too big?

01:58:17.000 No, no, no. 0.99

01:58:18.000 It's the exploitation of the ignorant. 0.93

01:58:20.000 You know, Jon Stewart, Liberal Daily Show, said we need some kind of draft where people 0.82

01:58:28.000 will serve the community for a certain amount of time because we've lost that connection

01:58:33.000 He was basically saying service guarantees citizenship.

01:58:36.000 It does.

01:58:37.000 But you have a lot of people right now who have nothing.

01:58:39.000 They're not tied in any way to the system, so they don't care.

01:58:42.000 They just want from the system.

01:58:43.000 I 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.

01:58:52.000 And they're like, we got to stop Donald Trump.

01:58:54.000 And I ask them like, oh, what did Donald Trump do?

01:58:56.000 Well, he's just bad.

01:58:57.000 How is he bad? 1.00

01:58:58.000 You know, he's like, he's a fascist. 0.96

01:59:00.000 What does that mean? 0.61

01:59:01.000 I'm just saying, man, like we got to, bro, if you can't tell me what you're talking about and you have just stepped in.

01:59:07.000 And voted for something you didn't know.

01:59:09.000 I'll tell you what the problem is.

01:59:10.000 The problem isn't any one man. 0.97

01:59:11.000 The 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. 0.87

01:59:19.000 Well, the amazing thing is that you got an organization that calls itself Antifa, which means anti-fascist. 0.95

01:59:24.000 But what did they do?

01:59:25.000 They beat up people that have points and insights and perspectives different from theirs.

01:59:30.000 That's the nature of fascism.

01:59:31.000 I mean, they beat up small business owners.

01:59:32.000 Yeah.

01:59:33.000 It's, you know, they'll come back at it with you with the academic definition of fascism is authoritarian nationalism.

01:59:40.000 The problem is, sure, but Germany was taking over other countries. 0.53

01:59:45.000 Yes.

01:59:46.000 I'm not sure, like, when he was like, we're just taking the part of Poland that's ours and then we're going to invade Poland.

01:59:50.000 And France, that's ours too now.

01:59:51.000 And Czechoslovakia and everything else.

01:59:53.000 Yeah, it wasn't, it's world domination.

01:59:56.000 Yes, it is.

01:59:56.000 So as far as I'm concerned, I just look, it's, I'll say fascistic or authoritarian.

02:00:01.000 They do the same things.

02:00:03.000 But I will tell you what's interesting is that Antifa is also identitarian.

02:00:06.000 They believe race should be a core component in law.

02:00:09.000 Well, they have that in common with Hitler. 0.87

02:00:10.000 Well, the whole social justice thing is nothing but the forcible mandating of equality of outcomes.

02:00:17.000 It's not justice.

02:00:17.000 Equity.

02:00:18.000 No, it's not.

02:00:20.000 It's equality of opportunity.

02:00:21.000 It's not equity.

02:00:22.000 That's someone sitting somewhere else and saying, how do we make sure everybody's the same?

02:00:26.000 Social egalitarianism is not a premise of the United States of America.

02:00:30.000 Here's a good one, though.

02:00:31.000 John Curry says, Would Allen West be willing to be Trump's chairman of the Joint Chiefs in 2025?

02:00:35.000 Well, to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, you have to still be in the military.

02:00:39.000 Oh, there you go.

02:00:40.000 Could you, like, get re-enlisted or something?

02:00:41.000 Everybody's just like, we need Colonel West.

02:00:43.000 Could they, like, put you back in the military?

02:00:44.000 No, as a civilian, you know, I could be a Secretary of Defense, but I can't be a chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

02:00:50.000 Oh, okay.

02:00:51.000 All right, I can't read this name because it's in Cyrillic, and they said no notifications.

02:00:55.000 There's simple reason.

02:00:56.000 I've just discovered I got unsubbed from three of your channels.

02:00:59.000 Random YouTube glitch, ha.

02:01:02.000 That's right, it's always a glitch, isn't it?

02:01:04.000 Maybe a third-party app?

02:01:05.000 Possible?

02:01:06.000 Oh, maybe, I don't know.

02:01:08.000 Perhaps, but, you know, it's always funny how these glitches happen, isn't it?

02:01:12.000 Yeah, behind the scenes.

02:01:13.000 Yeah.

02:01:14.000 All right, let's see.

02:01:15.000 We'll try and grab a couple more here.

02:01:18.000 Pretty Boy Jeremy has a question for Allen West.

02:01:20.000 With the concerns of school boards shutting people down, what's your thoughts on parents' duty?

02:01:24.000 Do they need to do more?

02:01:26.000 Yeah, the parents need to be engaged.

02:01:29.000 Look up what happened at Southlake, Texas with the Carroll Independent School District.

02:01:34.000 Before there was Critical Race Theory, there was the Cultural Competency Action Plan.

02:01:38.000 And they were trying to force this into that school district.

02:01:41.000 What did they do?

02:01:41.000 They came together.

02:01:42.000 They created the Southlake Families Pack.

02:01:44.000 And normally in a municipal level election, school board, whatever, if you get 6% turnout, you're pretty happy, right?

02:01:51.000 They had 41% turnout.

02:01:53.000 And 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.

02:02:00.000 NBC News story.

02:02:02.000 And so that's what you have to start doing.

02:02:04.000 At the community level, once again, getting engaged.

02:02:07.000 Finding 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.

02:02:15.000 All right, so we got two pretty important ones.

02:02:17.000 We got Scroggs says, I cannot find his governor donation website, Texas Voter.

02:02:21.000 West4Texas.com.

02:02:23.000 West, the number four, Texas.com.

02:02:25.000 All right.

02:02:26.000 Thank you.

02:02:27.000 Mitch Marco says, longtime listener, member, and first donor.

02:02:30.000 How are, I believe he's asking, how are you similar to Governor Abbott and different from him?

02:02:36.000 And why are you better?

02:02:37.000 Well, I'm similar to Governor Abbott that I'm a Texan and I'm an American.

02:02:41.000 I am different from him because I don't believe in begging for permission from the federal government.

02:02:46.000 I believe that as a governor, it's your responsibility to protect the people.

02:02:50.000 And the other thing that you will never see me do, no elected official has the enumerated power to decide who or what is essential.

02:02:57.000 uh... in the state of texas or anywhere in the country the most essential thing

02:03:00.000 in america's liberty and benjamin franklin said those who would surrender

02:03:04.000 essential liberty for temporary security

02:03:06.000 in the end don't deserve neither liberty or security and we'll lose both

02:03:10.000 that's right, lose both julian mcbain says republicans and libertarians need to

02:03:15.000 dump money into deep blue districts to see things change

02:03:19.000 i think that's actually important yeah you gotta go in behind enemy lines

02:03:22.000 And 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?

02:03:30.000 Because you've got to base your plan on what the enemy wants to do.

02:03:32.000 So the Democrats wanted to go after the suburban soccer mom. 1.00

02:03:35.000 They wanted to go orange man bad, Trump is hateful, he's a misogynist, whatever. 0.98

02:03:39.000 And so I said, let's go into the Rio Grande Valley. 0.95

02:03:42.000 We 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.

02:03:49.000 And that was the news story about how we flipped the Rio Grande Valley in November 2020.

02:03:56.000 Right on.

02:03:56.000 A lot of people are mentioning it is West, the number four, and Texas.com.

02:04:00.000 A lot of people are posting it, so... Thank you.

02:04:03.000 All right, let's, uh, we'll get in a couple more.

02:04:07.000 SDP says, Governor West, wink, I'm curious your thoughts on Abbott from Tennessee, and am Milk Tim to lukewarm on my governor and yours.

02:04:17.000 America is craving statesmen again, and it's just about time.

02:04:20.000 Well, the important thing I always tell people, I'm not running against Greg Abbott, I'm running for Texas.

02:04:25.000 And I want to show an example of leadership that people will want to rally to.

02:04:30.000 Because it's not about my interests or special interests, it's about the Texan interests.

02:04:35.000 And our tagline for our campaign is Defending the Texas Republic.

02:04:39.000 Because when you think about what a republic means, it means the rule of law and individual rights, freedoms, and liberty.

02:04:45.000 Right on.

02:04:45.000 I'm sure he will.

02:04:46.000 Yonan Taka says Larry Elder becoming governor of Cali would make leftist heads literally

02:04:52.000 explode.

02:04:53.000 I would pay large amounts of money to watch it.

02:04:55.000 Well, you can pay large amounts of money to help make it happen, I'm sure, if Larry is

02:04:59.000 running.

02:05:00.000 I'm sure he takes donations for his campaign, right?

02:05:02.000 Yeah, I'm sure he will.

02:05:04.000 I'm sure he'll have a website set up.

02:05:05.000 But I had heard rumors of it, and I guess it's confirmed.

02:05:09.000 I know that my dear friend Hershel Walker is moving back to Georgia to run for Senate there.

02:05:14.000 And 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.

02:05:24.000 And understand this, in the history of the United States of America, there has never been a black Republican elected governor.

02:05:30.000 That's right.

02:05:31.000 Never.

02:05:31.000 Wow.

02:05:32.000 So now we could have the chance of three.

02:05:35.000 Who's more powerful like the mayor of a big city or the governor?

02:05:38.000 The governor.

02:05:39.000 As long as the governor understands that they are the governor.

02:05:43.000 Yeah.

02:05:44.000 Yeah, I mean, look at Cuomo.

02:05:45.000 You know, he was the governor.

02:05:46.000 He killed 15,000 people and got away with it.

02:05:48.000 Yeah, he got a lot done.

02:05:49.000 Yeah, that's right.

02:05:51.000 Not even the federal government did anything to stop that.

02:05:53.000 It's amazing.

02:05:54.000 Anyway, thanks for hanging out, everybody.

02:05:56.000 We're going to have a special members-only show coming up at TimCast.com, so sign up.

02:06:01.000 We're going to be talking about the rainbow blank blank or bleep bleep monkey and that fiasco and the targeting of children, the indoctrination. 0.64

02:06:42.000 Yes, West4Texas.com, the number four.

02:06:44.000 We found out that Governor Abbott's folks bought the website WestFORTexas.com.

02:06:50.000 Wow!

02:06:50.000 Hey, look, you know, that shows that people are kind of nervous and scared.

02:06:54.000 But West, the number four, Texas.com, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, all of those platforms, we're out there.

02:07:05.000 I want to ask you guys before we rolled, have you ever seen Band of Brothers?

02:07:09.000 Of course.

02:07:09.000 Oh, have you seen that?

02:07:10.000 No.

02:07:11.000 Tom Hanks movie about World War Two.

02:07:13.000 What is the?

02:07:13.000 It's a documentary of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment.

02:07:19.000 Dude.

02:07:20.000 Curahee.

02:07:21.000 Yeah, the best.

02:07:22.000 David Schwimmer's in it.

02:07:23.000 But you also need to watch The Pacific, which is the story of the Marines and all the island hopping that they did.

02:07:30.000 Oh, wow.

02:07:31.000 Also a true story.

02:07:32.000 Have you seen 1917?

02:07:33.000 Oh, of course I have.

02:07:34.000 Amazing.

02:07:35.000 It is.

02:07:36.000 It is, man.

02:07:37.000 Yeah, wow.

02:07:38.000 Dude, Trench Warfare.

02:07:39.000 Talk about... That movie was fantastic.

02:07:41.000 Yeah, 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.

02:07:51.000 The movie is mostly real-time.

02:07:53.000 Yeah.

02:07:53.000 That's amazing.

02:07:55.000 Mostly.

02:07:56.000 Have you been to the Antietam battlefield?

02:07:58.000 It's not too far from here?

02:07:59.000 I don't think so.

02:08:01.000 You guys need to go to that.

02:08:03.000 I mean, that is the worst day of military loss in US history.

02:08:06.000 22,000 in one day.

02:08:08.000 So Antietam is not far from you all here.

02:08:10.000 And of course, Gettysburg is an incredible battlefield.

02:08:13.000 It'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.

02:08:22.000 I've been to Antietam.

02:08:22.000 We didn't go to the sites or anything like that, though.

02:08:24.000 Yeah, go to Antietam.

02:08:25.000 Go to Gettysburg.

02:08:26.000 Right on.

02:08:26.000 Yeah, I'm gonna be going there this summer.

02:08:28.000 I've been seeing all these signs.

02:08:29.000 I'm like, I gotta go there.

02:08:30.000 I gotta go there.

02:08:31.000 I have like a whole list and I'm gonna do it around my birthday, I think.

02:08:35.000 Thank you very much for coming and sharing your intergenerational wisdom.

02:08:38.000 I don't even know what that means, but that's what it is.

02:08:41.000 She called you old!

02:08:42.000 That was young.

02:08:43.000 You're welcome.

02:08:44.000 It's intergenerational.

02:08:46.000 Just go with it.

02:08:46.000 It's fine.
