Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Democrats Vote In Far Left DA Amid Skyrocketing Crime, BLM Riots w-Sean Parnell

00:00:00.000 During yesterday's show, we did a segment about the Pennsylvania district attorney's

00:00:20.000 So, a big race coming out of Philadelphia, and there was some optimism.

00:00:24.000 It actually looked like the moderate Democrat could win.

00:00:27.000 Isn't it funny?

00:00:27.000 Us cheering for a moderate Democrat.

00:00:29.000 Well, you're not going to get a Republican DA.

00:00:29.000 Why?

00:00:32.000 But there was a far-left, pro-Black Lives Matter district attorney who had been in.

00:00:36.000 Crime had been skyrocketing, violent crime, really horrifying stories out of Philly.

00:00:40.000 As most of you know, we used to do the show just outside of Philly in the Philly suburbs.

00:00:44.000 And one of the reasons we left was the, well, rising out-of-control crime, namely the riots, but there were a bunch of shootouts.

00:00:50.000 And I was just like, yo, I don't want to be in a city.

00:00:52.000 We want to get into the middle of nowhere and kind of just have more space, grow the company, do something.

00:00:57.000 So then, lo and behold, the story comes out.

00:00:59.000 It was a blowout.

00:01:00.000 The progressive won by 30 points.

00:01:03.000 That means, even with all of this skyrocketing crime, all of these riots, the tearing down of statues, and the people said, we're not going far left enough.

00:01:12.000 Let's go far left-er.

00:01:14.000 I'm not surprised.

00:01:15.000 A lot of people just don't pay attention.

00:01:17.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:19.000 But we do have some good news.

00:01:20.000 That individual who wrote the 1619 Project just had her tenure rescinded.

00:01:27.000 Apparently it was not picked up.

00:01:27.000 It was a proposal.

00:01:30.000 Journalists are outraged.

00:01:31.000 They're furious.

00:01:32.000 They believe that this woman is a hero.

00:01:35.000 Apparently, people started to realize the 1619 Project is fake news, and for this, no tenure.

00:01:40.000 So it's not all bad news.

00:01:41.000 We're going to talk about this, and we got one of the best people to talk about what's going on in Pennsylvania.

00:01:45.000 We have now Senate candidate for Pennsylvania, Sean Parnell.

00:01:50.000 Hello, Tim.

00:01:51.000 It is great to be back.

00:01:53.000 This is like my fourth time on the show.

00:01:58.000 And what I mean is most political candidates would probably be scared to come down and sit in a studio with you because as you say, you're a disaffected liberal and nobody wants to get ambushed with gotcha questions.

00:02:09.000 But first of all, you don't do that, right?

00:02:12.000 You're very, very fair.

00:02:14.000 And I think that's why people actually watch your show as much as they do.

00:02:17.000 Well, I really do think That there is a thirst for truth out there.

00:02:24.000 You said people don't pay attention.

00:02:25.000 I think part of the reason why they don't is people are sick of the divisiveness.

00:02:31.000 Most people feel like the news that they watch on TV is not accurate.

00:02:34.000 And by the way, like Republican, Democrat, left-leaning, right-leaning, I think people want the facts and they want to be able to make decisions on their own.

00:02:43.000 And so I think that's why people watch.

00:02:45.000 I think the big question for people who watch the show or the issue is more, are you paying attention to what's really going on?

00:02:51.000 There's a political establishment.

00:02:53.000 And on the Republican side, you have a very powerful anti-establishment force that's pushed its way in.

00:02:58.000 And that's made the neocons and the establishment Republicans run to the Democrats.

00:03:02.000 So this is why you could have a disaffected liberal who's like, yo, the media is lying about this, that, or otherwise, and then we end up getting along even if we disagree on policy.

00:03:10.000 You know, I'm not here to push an agenda or a narrative to help someone win.

00:03:13.000 I want to understand the truth and make sure that, you know, things work.

00:03:17.000 So that's why this show works, I think.

00:03:18.000 And I think that should be the goal of every journalist.

00:03:21.000 I mean, you know, one of the things that you learn, you know, and by the way, You know, but I'm not sure that your audience does, but I am not a career politician.

00:03:31.000 Being a politician was never part of my professional track or even running for political office.

00:03:35.000 But you learn pretty quickly when you run that the media on either side of the aisle, they definitely have a narrative and they're definitely pushing that narrative.

00:03:44.000 And sometimes the facts are pushed to the sidelines in pursuit of that.

00:03:48.000 And I don't like that.

00:03:49.000 Usually.

00:03:51.000 Sometimes you're not one of those people and you're a journalist.

00:03:54.000 I mean, and there are some good journalists out there that I rely on and that are even some Democrats out there that I know these journalists are Democrats that write fair, right?

00:03:54.000 You do this.

00:04:03.000 And to me, that's, you know, that's the benchmark.

00:04:06.000 Like, I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican, just be fair.

00:04:10.000 It's a question of scruples.

00:04:12.000 Do people feel that feeling in your gut when they know they're doing something wrong?

00:04:17.000 And the problem is too many people in this country today don't.

00:04:20.000 So they're sitting there like, well, I know I'm lying, but who cares?

00:04:22.000 And that's what you get.

00:04:22.000 So we'll get into all this stuff, but also, I think you know a lot about what's going on with these DA races, that's like crime, the Black Lives Matter stuff, so we'll talk about that.

00:04:30.000 We got Ian, wearing glasses.

00:04:32.000 Ian Crosland over here in full Clark Kent get-up.

00:07:30.000 But let's jump into that first big story.

00:07:33.000 I can't say I'm surprised The Daily Caller reports after a surge in violent crime, progressives win big in Pennsylvania's largest city.

00:07:41.000 I couldn't believe it, because you had this police-backed moderate Democrat guy, and the polls are like, it's fairly even.

00:07:50.000 It's like he's doing all right.

00:07:51.000 And I was like, this guy, in my opinion, I thought he was going to win.

00:07:54.000 Because you have all of this crime.

00:07:55.000 I remember what happened in South Philly.

00:07:57.000 Do you remember when the Christopher Columbus statue was attacked?

00:07:59.000 Yes, yes.

00:08:00.000 And then you had a bunch of these local dudes standing around and saying, back off.

00:08:04.000 The city came and took it down.

00:08:06.000 I had to believe that regular people were like, yo, what are you doing?

00:08:11.000 This makes me a bit pessimistic.

00:08:13.000 Because it wasn't just that the progressive, the far-left, pro-Black Lives Matter guy won.

00:08:18.000 It was a blowout.

00:08:19.000 It was 30-plus points.

00:08:22.000 So what's happening in this place?

00:08:23.000 Do these people really want more crime?

00:08:25.000 Do they like the crime that's happening in their state?

00:08:27.000 No, I mean, I think it's important to remember that it's a Democrat primary, right?

00:08:32.000 So whoever's in the Democrat primary in today's day and age, you know, the litmus test is, you know, if you're running for Senate, is like nuking the filibuster or packing the Supreme Court or tearing down fundamental institutions that have been a part of this country for the last 200 years.

00:08:49.000 So it's Yeah, far left-er.

00:08:53.000 Yeah, far left-er.

00:08:56.000 Far left-er.

00:08:57.000 Yeah, far left-er.

00:08:58.000 Well, Krasner, I mean, you're looking at the city of Philadelphia.

00:09:02.000 What's happened to that city under Krasner is sad, right?

00:09:05.000 I mean, I think you're seeing something like a 30 percent rise in crime, violent crime

00:09:09.000 in Philadelphia.

00:09:11.000 The people there are struggling.

00:09:13.000 I think when there's a rise in crime, you see, you know, the black communities are disproportionately affected by that.

00:09:19.000 So it's unfortunate to see him as the guy, right?

00:09:24.000 It's the ultra wealthy backing these people, too.

00:09:27.000 Like Krasner, I think, was backed by one of the Soros foundations or by wealthy individuals.

00:09:31.000 Yes, and I think late in the game.

00:09:33.000 I think an infusion of something like, you know, I don't know this for sure, but something like $3 million to help him get across the finish line.

00:09:39.000 And look, that is, and I'm not judging that, right?

00:09:43.000 Like, you have to raise money to win in politics, you know?

00:09:48.000 And the more effective a candidate is on a campaign at raising money, the more effective they can be at getting their message out.

00:09:56.000 Now, I liken it, everything that I use is like a military analogy, and I'm not advocating for any sort of violence, right?

00:10:03.000 But dollars in a campaign are like bullets in a gun, right?

00:10:08.000 When your platoon is out there in combat.

00:10:10.000 You run out of ammo, you can't respond to the enemy, you can't defend yourself.

00:10:13.000 The same is true in politics.

00:10:14.000 You run out of money, Look, in my case, the Democrats will come after you and they will bludgeon you with ads and if you have no money, you can't respond.

00:10:25.000 And so what happened in Philadelphia, this is a prime example of that and the profound impact that money can have in terms of advertising and moving the needle one way or the other.

00:10:38.000 It's like, reminds me of Fauci.

00:10:41.000 He says... Are you going to do the Fauci impression?

00:10:43.000 No, no.

00:10:45.000 Fauci tells everyone to go on cruises.

00:10:47.000 He tells everybody not to wear masks.

00:10:49.000 And then he blames Donald Trump.

00:10:51.000 They blame Donald Trump.

00:10:52.000 It's like, Trump was just taking this guy's advice, but I'll pass the buck to Trump.

00:10:55.000 He should have fired the guy in the first place.

00:10:56.000 I bring him up because these voters are like, Fauci followers, right?

00:11:02.000 So here's what I mean.

00:11:03.000 When you see the CDC say, all right, y'all can take your masks off if you're vaccinated, and these people are literally saying, no, no, we shouldn't, we should keep them on, you can see that with your eyes.

00:11:12.000 That is a democratic base that doesn't care about what the guidelines are.

00:11:18.000 They just care about what signifies their tribe.

00:11:20.000 Like David Hogg said, he doesn't want to be seen as a conservative, so just wear the mask anyway.

00:11:23.000 What you can't see is the virtue signaling and the tribalism that's not tangible, which is elections like this. 0.97

00:11:33.000 The ads come out, they say ridiculous nonsense and out-of-context garbage, and people just go, whatever you say. 0.94

00:11:39.000 They would rather just align themselves tribally than care about anything principally that would help better their community. 0.51

00:11:46.000 So I would say that's why, you know, on, you know, what, in my any, any part of my campaign, right?

00:11:53.000 Like I go everywhere.

00:11:55.000 I'm just using myself as an example.

00:11:57.000 I go everywhere.

00:11:57.000 I talk to everyone.

00:11:59.000 I personally believe that leadership is about, yeah, of course, coalition, coalition building where people agree with you.

00:12:06.000 But it's also about going where people don't and building consensus.

00:12:09.000 Right.

00:12:10.000 And giving those folks a chance to get to know you with the understanding that, of course, as Americans, We're not going to agree on every issue, right?

00:12:18.000 But the leaders show up anyway to show people that they care.

00:12:21.000 And so when I campaign, when I go out there, I go everywhere with the Democrat, Independent, Republican.

00:12:29.000 I don't care if you believe in the greatness of America, if you believe in freedom, if you believe in the idea of Think for yourself.

00:12:35.000 you know, passing down a rich, vibrant country, a country that's rich with opportunity to

00:12:40.000 the next generation, then join us, join the movement.

00:12:42.000 And I think what we've been able to do, because we've been able to do that, and part of that

00:12:45.000 by the way is think for yourself, right?

00:12:49.000 Don't just lock into, you know, left-wing media or right-wing media.

00:12:54.000 Read, think for yourself.

00:12:56.000 Part of being a part of this movement that I think we're trying to create in Western Pennsylvania, and indeed, we probably have created it, of thousands of people in Western Pennsylvania, people from across the political spectrum is they want the truth, and they're going to seek it out themselves.

00:13:11.000 And then not only that, they're going to take action to make their communities better.

00:13:15.000 And in this case, you know, so what does that look like for a campaign?

00:13:18.000 It means like they're out there knocking doors, they're out there hosting events, they're out there making phone calls, right?

00:13:23.000 They're helping move the ball down the field, something that Democrats have done for years,

00:13:23.000 Definitely.

00:13:30.000 far better than Republicans, right, is organized, right?

00:13:33.000 Definitely.

00:13:34.000 They're better at it.

00:13:35.000 But so we're rivaling that in Pennsylvania.

00:13:37.000 And I think that you saw that reflected in these ballot questions.

00:13:40.000 So Krasner, yeah, what happened with Krasner, I think that progressive guy, he's the progressive

00:13:45.000 guy that won in Philadelphia.

00:13:46.000 It's a bad thing for Philadelphia that he won.

00:13:48.000 I think he's one of the worst DAs in Philadelphia history, but that's besides the point.

00:13:52.000 I think the real indicator in Pennsylvania statewide is we had two ballot questions on the ballot, right?

00:14:00.000 Which both ballot questions pertain to the governor's unilateral ability to extend emergency declarations in Pennsylvania.

00:14:07.000 You can do that in perpetuity.

00:14:08.000 And he's, I would argue that he's abused the process, right?

00:14:11.000 Like, of course, COVID was real.

00:14:13.000 We had to take it seriously.

00:14:14.000 And there were, early on, those emergency provisions were certainly appropriate, right?

00:14:19.000 But it's, you know, 15 days to slow the spread has turned into 15 months, right?

00:14:24.000 And so, so my point is, Tim, is that Republicans showed up in force and won.

00:14:29.000 But it was really what I see that as a referendum on Tom Wolf, who's a radical Democrat governor, We won those ballot initiatives by around 139,000 votes statewide.

00:14:38.000 That's significant, and it's indicative of the strength of the Republican Party in the state.

00:14:42.000 Didn't Wolf kill a bunch of old people? 1.00

00:14:45.000 So the state of Pennsylvania, and so to your point of how President Trump was blamed for his COVID response, first of all, Governor Cuomo right now is under the microscope.

00:14:58.000 The second highest nursing home deaths in the country happened in the state of Pennsylvania under Governor Tom Wolf.

00:15:05.000 No one's talking about it, but believe me, in the near future they will be with the governor's race coming up now.

00:15:10.000 But I think what was particularly disconcerting about nursing home policy is, of course, if you were paying attention to COVID early on, You saw how it was, I mean it first came to Seattle, right?

00:15:22.000 We saw it tear through nursing home facilities and how the elderly were particularly vulnerable when it comes to COVID, right?

00:15:29.000 We knew, we knew that.

00:15:31.000 And you had Secretary Levine, our Secretary of Health in Pennsylvania for the Wolf Administration, saw that coming and she took her own mother out of a nursing home facility While leaving other senior citizens in the state of Pennsylvania to languish and die.

00:15:45.000 I got real problems with that.

00:15:48.000 And so, you know, I don't think... Now Levine is with the Biden administration, right?

00:15:52.000 Now she's with the Biden administration. 0.71

00:15:54.000 And so, you know, I don't think we're talking enough about that.

00:15:57.000 There are a litany of things that we could have probably done better, that we definitely could have done better.

00:16:02.000 And by the way, it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback.

00:16:05.000 This is, I am giving a little bit of grace here in that this is a hundred year, once in a hundred year pandemic.

00:16:11.000 We've never faced anything like this before.

00:16:13.000 We didn't really know what COVID was like early on, so precautions I thought were necessary early on.

00:16:18.000 But look, it only took about three to four months for us to realize You know, for us to learn a heck of a lot more about COVID, right?

00:16:26.000 And as you're dealing with the pandemic, your strategy has to evolve as the science evolves and as you learn more about the virus.

00:16:34.000 That didn't happen in Pennsylvania.

00:16:36.000 And elderly senior citizens and the citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I think they paid the price. 0.97

00:16:43.000 Yeah, I think we got the worst of every world with Fauci.

00:16:46.000 Because at first, he's like, don't wear your masks.

00:16:48.000 There it is.

00:16:50.000 I knew it was coming.

00:16:50.000 You can go on the cruises.

00:16:52.000 It's fine if you just watch it.

00:16:54.000 Am I allowed to clap?

00:16:54.000 Can I just do the slow clap?

00:16:55.000 It's beautiful.

00:16:56.000 Imagine if he came out right away and said, just wear masks in case.

00:16:59.000 Let's be on the safe side of these things.

00:17:01.000 Then we would have reduced the dramatic amount of death.

00:17:04.000 Imagine if it was like, you probably shouldn't go on cruises right now until we figure this thing out.

00:17:07.000 Very early on, he was like, it's fine.

00:17:10.000 And then, a month later, when it gets bad, then he's like, okay, now it might get bad.

00:17:14.000 Then, when we start, we see Texas and Florida.

00:17:17.000 And it's like, you know, people are asking, why is it Texas and Florida are doing so well?

00:17:22.000 No answer.

00:17:22.000 We don't really know.

00:17:24.000 The Today Show did a segment where they were like, we're not entirely sure.

00:17:28.000 Just ending the restrictions and for some reason COVID deaths are going down.

00:17:32.000 Perhaps it was because we learned that transmission indoors was worse, outdoors was safer, getting vitamin D and exercise was better for you, and people were put in the worst possible position.

00:17:43.000 Where was Fauci to be like, maybe we should change our minds on this?

00:17:46.000 He was too lax in the beginning and too harsh in the middle to the end.

00:17:50.000 So people have been following this guy playing Simon Says.

00:17:53.000 Don't wear any masks.

00:17:54.000 Wear your masks.

00:17:56.000 And I think, yeah, I agree.

00:17:56.000 don't double mask, double mask anyway.

00:17:58.000 If you get the vaccine, wear your mask anyway.

00:18:00.000 OK, I admit it. I was just saying that.

00:18:02.000 That's where we're at right now.

00:18:04.000 And I think I agree.

00:18:06.000 I think Fauci has been remarkably inconsistent

00:18:12.000 in his guidance.

00:18:13.000 Right.

00:18:14.000 And I think at the end of the day with a pandemic response now, here's my

00:18:18.000 thing. If you if you're a Again, I thought that the 15 days to slow the spread when we didn't know a lot about the virus was probably appropriate early on, but you've got to adjust fire pretty quickly, right?

00:18:28.000 But I think he's been inconsistent.

00:18:31.000 And truthfully, the science behind masking is dubious at best.

00:18:36.000 It really is.

00:18:39.000 The mask in today's day and age, even with when you're seeing the CDC changing their mask guidance, saying that, OK, now that people are vaccinated, you don't have to wear a mask.

00:18:50.000 You don't have to wear.

00:18:51.000 I mean, look, if you want to wear a mask, wear a mask.

00:18:54.000 I'm not going to judge you on that.

00:18:55.000 Like if you feel safer wearing a mask, go right ahead and do it.

00:18:59.000 But what the point that I'm building to is that is that it's incumbent upon all of us to assess the risk that is tolerable for us.

00:19:07.000 But what was the updated science that made the CDC change their minds?

00:19:10.000 Because I didn't see it.

00:19:13.000 That's exactly the point that I was building to, is that the CDC changed their guidance, right?

00:19:21.000 With really no justification in the empirical science.

00:19:24.000 We were given no reason why.

00:19:26.000 And it really was the CDC director, I think, on a cable news show saying, like, the science has evolved.

00:19:33.000 So what we saw with Fauci was that there was one interview where he was asked, should people wear two masks?

00:19:38.000 And he's like, well, it's just common sense if you wear two masks.

00:19:40.000 Then he gets asked again.

00:19:41.000 No, no, there's nothing saying to wear two masks.

00:19:44.000 Then he comes out again.

00:19:44.000 Yeah, everybody should wear two masks.

00:19:45.000 And all of a sudden, people just wear two masks.

00:19:47.000 It's like they're playing Simon Says with this guy. 0.93

00:19:49.000 He is one of the worst, most dangerous individuals in this country.

00:19:52.000 And you want to know something really freaky? 0.74

00:19:54.000 I saw this out of Dallas.

00:19:55.000 There's a video that somewhat purports to show Like, two guys in the army going into a 7-Eleven and, like, randomly giving a dude a vaccine.

00:20:05.000 And my question is, like, at what point did we go from, you can't speak positively about certain medications?

00:20:12.000 Like, when Trump was talking about hydroxychloroquine, YouTube was like, we'll ban you if you bring it up.

00:20:15.000 Don't even talk about it.

00:20:17.000 And now you've got people being like, outside of a 7-Eleven, just being like, without consulting your doctor, they're gonna give you a medication?

00:20:23.000 I'm like, no, come on, you can't do that, can you?

00:20:25.000 Like, you gotta, people gotta talk to their doctors before they get this stuff.

00:20:28.000 Not anymore.

00:20:29.000 Well, well, of course, of course.

00:20:30.000 I mean, I agree.

00:20:32.000 Well, it's it's look.

00:20:34.000 Yes, double standards.

00:20:37.000 And, you know, ultimately, Dr. Fauci, you know, I don't know.

00:20:42.000 I like I like to think that that he did his best.

00:20:45.000 But to me, I think he's I think I think that there were political intentions behind some of the decisions he was making.

00:20:52.000 I mean, I will tell you this.

00:20:52.000 Certainly the radical left weaponized the virus in a way that they thought would benefit them.

00:20:59.000 Right.

00:21:00.000 Oh, definitely.

00:21:01.000 And never let a good crisis go to waste.

00:21:03.000 And that is part of their playbook, right?

00:21:07.000 And so, I don't know.

00:21:09.000 I'm glad to see that we're coming out of this even though people are reluctant to take off the masks.

00:21:16.000 But again, if people want to wear masks, fine.

00:21:19.000 If you feel like you're high-risk, fine.

00:21:20.000 But it should be a precaution.

00:21:23.000 I just want to say, though, going back to this...

00:21:26.000 There's a positive note in this progressive winning that maybe we're not seeing.

00:21:30.000 Maybe we're looking too much at the surface level.

00:21:32.000 A 30-point blowout.

00:21:34.000 Could it be that many people have left the Democratic Party?

00:21:37.000 And the only people that remain are progressives?

00:21:39.000 So we're not seeing a landslide victory for the DA.

00:21:42.000 We're actually seeing the moderate Democrats having quit saying, I don't know, I'm Republican now.

00:21:46.000 I think it's a great point.

00:21:48.000 What I think you're seeing is this is where the Democrat base is right now.

00:21:54.000 It is largely out of touch with everyday Americans on either side of the aisle.

00:22:01.000 Specifically, the blue-collar people, building trade unions that they purport to represent.

00:22:08.000 You know, for a long time, by the way, police officers, especially in the state of Pennsylvania where there are unions, like when they're fraternal order of police, like in Western Pennsylvania, it's FOP1, FOP3.

00:22:19.000 Out in Philadelphia, I think it's FOP5.

00:22:24.000 50-50 split of Democrat-Republicans?

00:22:26.000 Maybe even more Democrats than Republicans that are cops?

00:22:28.000 I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a police officer supporting Democrat cops.

00:22:32.000 To my point, moderate Democrats, I think there's not a home for them, really, in the Democrat party.

00:22:40.000 I mean, now listen, you know, I come from a family that grew up in Allegheny County.

00:22:47.000 Half of them are Allegheny County Democrats.

00:22:50.000 They're old school blue dog Democrats, pro-life, pro-gun Democrats. 0.57

00:22:54.000 A lot of those people feel like they don't have a home in the Democrat party today.

00:22:59.000 So we try to give them a home with us and we try to actually be that voice that the building trade unions I think I'm right, actually.

00:23:12.000 I pulled up the data, and I think I'm right.

00:23:14.000 Check this out.

00:23:15.000 The Democratic primary that just happened is Lawrence Krasner versus Carlos Vega.

00:23:18.000 Carlos Vega was backed by the police unions.

00:23:21.000 The polls showed it was really close.

00:23:24.000 The total votes for this primary was 129,865 votes.

00:23:26.000 Let's go back to the previous election.

00:23:27.000 The Democratic primary in 2017, the total votes was 155,246.

00:23:29.000 Now, it's possible that it was 155,000 because there were more people listed in the primary.

00:23:32.000 in 2017 the total votes was a hundred and fifty five thousand two hundred and

00:23:36.000 forty six now it's possible that it was a hundred fifty five thousand because

00:23:39.000 there were more people listed in the primary and so some people who normally

00:23:44.000 don't vote might show up for one of these individuals but I actually think

00:23:48.000 what we're seeing is around there's around twenty six thousand less votes

00:23:51.000 than there was last time I'm willing to bet a lot of people just said, I don't vote.

00:23:56.000 I don't vote Democrat anymore.

00:23:57.000 Yeah.

00:23:58.000 So they weren't in the primary at all.

00:24:00.000 It's a midterm.

00:24:01.000 Well, it's an off cycle election.

00:24:03.000 So turnout is usually down.

00:24:04.000 Although I will say, if you look at the Republican turnout this year, I think there was something like, I don't know, I look over at my campaign manager who's over there, he's my partner in crime on all this stuff, but I think there was something like 855,000 Republicans it turned out.

00:24:19.000 And if you look back at 2009, which I think was another off-cycle election, I think turnout for the Republican Party back then was something like 500,000.

00:24:29.000 You're looking at the difference in turnout there, right?

00:24:32.000 Like, we're doing everything we can to organize and unite this party and bring people together and be the Big Ten party that I think the Republican Party is always intended to be, right?

00:24:41.000 Oh, what were you going to say?

00:24:43.000 No, I mean, we're the Big Ten party because I think we're the party of individual freedom, right?

00:24:47.000 Individual sovereignty.

00:24:48.000 How is it ever that there's somebody running on a post?

00:24:51.000 That to me is crazy.

00:24:53.000 In this day and age it is, but it is common in off-cycle elections, for sure.

00:24:57.000 So I'm looking at this general election for city controller.

00:25:01.000 Rebecca Rinhart.

00:25:02.000 Only candidate listed.

00:25:04.000 Is that it?

00:25:04.000 Where, in Philly?

00:25:05.000 Yeah, Philly general election for the Philadelphia city controller.

00:25:08.000 There's no, just one person.

00:25:10.000 Like, you literally could have walked in and been like, I guess I'll run, why not?

00:25:12.000 You could.

00:25:13.000 You may have actually won because people would just be like, I'll vote for the other person.

00:25:16.000 Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, yes.

00:25:17.000 Our elections are broken, man.

00:25:19.000 Well, I don't know that they're, I don't, there are issues, right?

00:25:23.000 Um, there, there, there's no question about that.

00:25:25.000 Although talking about election integrity in today's day and age.

00:25:29.000 I'm not even talking about integrity, I'm just talking about our culture.

00:25:31.000 The popularity contest.

00:25:32.000 Yeah, like, look at this guy.

00:25:33.000 George Soros can buy a bunch of commercials.

00:25:35.000 So, let me, let me go back to the, uh, the Krasner thing here.

00:25:39.000 How many votes in the Republican primary in Philly do you think there were?

00:25:43.000 There was 129,000 Democratic primary votes.

00:25:47.000 For the Republican primary, how many votes do you think there were?

00:25:51.000 Random guess.

00:25:51.000 I don't know.

00:25:52.000 Votes in Philadelphia in the Republican primary?

00:25:56.000 129,000 people voted in the Democratic primary.

00:25:58.000 In Philadelphia?

00:25:59.000 In Philadelphia, how many people voted in the Republican primary?

00:26:02.000 Wait, so the Democratic primary, Democrats had 129,000 people's turnout?

00:26:06.000 Total votes, right.

00:26:07.000 On the Democrat side?

00:26:08.000 Yes.

00:26:08.000 So I would say 30% of that number.

00:26:11.000 So probably 15,000, 20,000?

00:26:17.000 So Republicans can't even go out and vote in these cities at all.

00:26:20.000 I think the reality is apathy.

00:26:22.000 No one's engaging this process.

00:26:24.000 And so you've got people like us, people who are watching this show, who are active and paying attention.

00:26:28.000 Mitch McConnell gives the Republican Party a horrible name because it should be the party of rock stars right now.

00:26:32.000 It's people just sitting there lazy, eyes half closed, ignoring the problems around them.

00:26:37.000 Mitch McConnell gives the Republican Party a horrible name because it should be the party of rock stars right now.

00:26:42.000 It needs a resurgence culturally where it's exciting and you think of youth and fun, which is what the Democrats

00:26:49.000 basically do with Obama and Clinton.

00:26:50.000 Well, here's what's funny.

00:26:52.000 The Democratic Party used to be the celebrities, the rock stars, but they've all become rather square.

00:26:58.000 And what I mean by that is, like, well within the box.

00:27:01.000 They don't draw outside the lines anymore.

00:27:02.000 No more punk rock.

00:27:03.000 To see these punk rock people support Amazon and, like, you know... Yeah, I totally agree.

00:27:08.000 I think conservatives, like the Republican Party that I'm a part of, like, we're the new punk rock.

00:27:15.000 We're the party of the American working class.

00:27:17.000 Well, you might be, but Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham aren't.

00:27:20.000 They're the opposite.

00:27:21.000 Well, I mean, look, they've been around for a long time, right?

00:27:23.000 I mean, and they have, they've got responsibility at the top as leadership and trying to bring people together in the Republican Party because we're an ideological diverse party.

00:27:32.000 It's very, it can be very, very hard to do that.

00:27:34.000 Like, and you're looking at the vote today on the January 6th commission, right?

00:27:38.000 Democrats Rarely, and I mean rarely, if ever, break ranks.

00:27:43.000 Their messaging is almost always the same.

00:27:45.000 They're like the Borg, if you've ever watched Star Trek, right?

00:27:49.000 Their messaging is on point, their organizing is on point, they rarely break ranks, and because of that, they're very effective.

00:27:54.000 Now, they've got the media to help them do that, right, as sort of the fly top cover for them, but Republicans Sometimes it can be like herding cats, because we are the party of ideological diversity.

00:28:04.000 We'll all believe different things.

00:28:05.000 You know, you're welcome in the Republican Party, as long as... I mean, to me, I think, you know, the base litmus test is, you got to be small government, more freedom kind of person, you know, but... Let me jump to the story from the Wall Street Journal.

00:28:17.000 House backs creation of commission on January 6th Capitol riot.

00:28:21.000 Former President Trump and GOP leaders urged Republicans to oppose the bill.

00:28:24.000 So we're going to have some kind of, what, 9-11 style commission on the Capitol riots.

00:28:30.000 And I'm sorry, man, the Republican Party, I understand it's better than the Democrats for a lot of reasons, but why didn't they ever do anything about Black Lives Matter and Antifa when they had the power to do it?

00:28:42.000 Well, we never really had the power to do it under President Trump.

00:28:45.000 I guess they weren't paying attention.

00:28:49.000 Well, the first two years of the Trump administration, I would argue that the Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests that really rampaged across the country burned down federal courthouses.

00:28:59.000 They burned down a police precinct in, I think, Minnesota.

00:29:02.000 That was last year, though.

00:29:04.000 Republicans had lost the House at that point.

00:29:06.000 But that's what I mean.

00:29:06.000 I mean, I think that most of the violent protests that we saw happened after the Republicans had lost control of all three branches of government.

00:29:14.000 How many riots were there over the past four years from far leftists?

00:29:19.000 I don't know off the top of my head.

00:29:22.000 Probably thousands.

00:29:23.000 I would absolutely say thousands.

00:29:25.000 There's not a single one, not a single instance in 2017 and 2018 warranted to Republicans

00:29:33.000 any kind of action, but the Democrats get one and they are going nuclear for months,

00:29:40.000 a 9-11 style commission.

00:29:42.000 This is the problem.

00:29:43.000 The Democrats will stub their toe and blame the far right and scream at their lungs, and the Republicans go, okay, okay, okay.

00:29:51.000 And then you can literally get billions of dollars of damage, and the Republicans won't even send in National Guard to stop it.

00:29:57.000 Trump will be like, please, please, and the National Guard, and the Democrats in these cities are like, no, and he goes, okay.

00:30:03.000 Well, I mean, I think part of the reason for that is that the Democrat Party, I mean, they have the largest super PAC in the world.

00:30:10.000 I mean, they have, you know, a billion dollar corporate media, mainstream media that does nothing but fly cover for them and parrot their talking points.

00:30:20.000 Right.

00:30:21.000 Sure, sure.

00:30:21.000 But why?

00:30:22.000 Why do Republican candidates care more about the opinions of The New York Times and their own constituents?

00:30:26.000 That so look it's it's a great question and it's part of what I think the Republican Party I mean look if you're a candidate right and you're going to go out there on the parapet be a Republican be a conservative in this day and age You have to know going in, Tim, that if the media, the main, not all the media, right?

00:30:46.000 I'm not trying to paint anybody with broad strokes here, but you got to know that the media is coming after you.

00:30:54.000 And you're not doing your job.

00:30:54.000 Definitely.

00:30:55.000 You know that if they are coming after you, you're probably over the target, so to speak, to use military parlance, right?

00:31:03.000 That's how I look at things.

00:31:04.000 If they're attacking me, I know that I'm representing the people.

00:31:07.000 And to me, ultimately, that's what this job is about.

00:31:09.000 This job is about is about representing the people and being there for them, which is why I mean, look, I think 2020, like running a campaign in 2020 was an unbelievable experience for me because I didn't know anything about campaigning.

00:31:22.000 It was the first time I've ever done it.

00:31:24.000 So I learned a lot.

00:31:25.000 But one of the things that's just so important for Republicans moving forward is not being beholden to the big money.

00:31:35.000 We had 45,000 individual donors.

00:31:37.000 Because of that, we weren't really beholden to any sort of special interest, corporation, or even the Republican Party, even though I'm a Republican running on the ticket.

00:31:46.000 It gave me the freedom to represent the people in the best way that I saw fit.

00:31:52.000 And I think we did that to great effect.

00:31:53.000 And we're going to take it to the next level on the Senate race.

00:31:55.000 But yes, you as a Republican in this day and age, you know, you have to be willing to stand on the parapet and take shots from the from the media, because if you're advocating for what you believe and what the people that you represent believe, you're going to take they're coming after you.

00:32:10.000 I just got very little faith in anyone to actually be a leader in terms of standing up to the establishment, which is mostly Democrat, some Republicans.

00:32:20.000 There's a reason why people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, even after everything she posted and said, and then apologized for, and it's because she's feisty. 1.00

00:32:27.000 She's a fighter. 1.00

00:32:28.000 She fights. 0.96

00:32:28.000 She fights, like Donald Trump fought. 0.96

00:32:30.000 And so she raises, what, three point something million dollars in the first quarter, so they can criticize her and smear her all she wants, and she revels in it, and people see that, and they're like, finally someone is standing up.

00:32:40.000 But look at this.

00:32:42.000 Ted Cruz goes to Cancun or whatever, right?

00:32:44.000 So it's got the power outage, the freeze in Texas.

00:32:48.000 Ted Cruz flies to, he flew to Cancun, is that where he went?

00:32:50.000 Yeah, I think he just to take his family down there.

00:32:53.000 Regardless, the media freaks out and then he's flying right back overnight.

00:32:57.000 I'd have been like, you know what, now the media's freaking out, I'm gonna take a picture of myself with my feet up.

00:33:02.000 Sipping a martini, being like, is this what you want? 1.00

00:33:04.000 Don't play stupid games. 1.00

00:33:05.000 Now, he said he was just there to fly his family there and back. 1.00

00:33:08.000 Sure, whether you want to believe him or not, I think he was going on vacation, and honestly, I don't care.

00:33:12.000 You know what I do care about?

00:33:14.000 Well, I'll say this first.

00:33:15.000 Probably a bad move to be a representative of your community in a time of crisis and be like, eh, I'm gonna go to the beach.

00:33:22.000 Nah, like, you know, running for office, being in office, is more than just showing up in Congress and talking.

00:33:28.000 It's being a leader for your community and helping build that culture and lead by example.

00:33:33.000 But if you want to go on vacation, I'm not going to cry about it.

00:33:36.000 I'll tell you what really bothers me, that the media screamed and he was right back.

00:33:40.000 Oh no, no, oh geez, no, oh don't look at me.

00:33:42.000 I don't care what the New York Times has to say about these people.

00:33:45.000 I'm sick of the lies from the media.

00:33:46.000 I'm sick of the fact that For four years, the Republicans in the Senate didn't do much of anything with what was going on.

00:33:55.000 I remember from 2016, 17, 18, we knew censorship was a very serious problem, and the banning of Donald Trump's most ardent supporters was going to result in Republicans getting defeated.

00:34:05.000 Republicans can't even express their own opinions.

00:34:08.000 How could they expect to win at this point?

00:34:10.000 And they did nothing!

00:34:11.000 Look, look.

00:34:11.000 I agree.

00:34:12.000 I know, I know.

00:34:13.000 I'm not ranting at you.

00:34:14.000 You know where I'm going with this, right?

00:34:16.000 It's happening to me right now!

00:34:18.000 You know, look, if you you want to think you talk about big tech censorship.

00:34:22.000 I'm not.

00:34:24.000 Section 230 is one thing.

00:34:25.000 I don't think I necessarily support that because it hurts people like you.

00:34:27.000 Right.

00:34:28.000 But the repeal of Section 230 or repealing Section 230 hurts.

00:34:33.000 It needs to be reformed.

00:34:34.000 It needs to be reformed for sure.

00:34:35.000 Right.

00:34:36.000 Something needs to be done about big tech or state level laws, which we're seeing.

00:34:38.000 Texas or Florida.

00:34:39.000 Yes, but look at what's happening to me.

00:34:41.000 I'm a Senate.

00:34:42.000 I'm a Senate candidate in the state of Pennsylvania in arguably the biggest Senate race in the country, right?

00:34:49.000 Senate control depends on the state of Pennsylvania, right?

00:34:52.000 And go to Google right now, right?

00:34:55.000 Just do it right now for your viewers.

00:34:57.000 Like search Sean Parnell Senate on Google and see if you can find my campaign website.

00:35:04.000 NBC News is the first link, then your Twitter account, Politico.

00:35:07.000 So I raise money on my campaign site.

00:35:11.000 The only way I raise digital money is on that campaign site.

00:35:14.000 Google has a monopoly on search engines, right?

00:35:16.000 So you go and go.

00:35:17.000 You got to be a forensic data analyst to find my website on Google.

00:35:21.000 Now, if you're watching the show, go to Yahoo or go to Bing or go to DuckDuckGo and punch in Sean Parnell's Senate and see what comes up.

00:35:30.000 Let's go to Bing.

00:35:31.000 Yeah, just see what comes up.

00:35:33.000 Bing.

00:35:33.000 Sean Parnell, Senate.

00:35:35.000 Just do a search, yeah.

00:35:38.000 Hey, there you go, it's the first one.

00:35:39.000 It's the number one, so here's the thing.

00:35:40.000 Wait, wait, hold on.

00:35:42.000 Sean Parnell, former governor of Alaska, is actually the card that pops up, but your website is the number one.

00:35:47.000 Yeah, so that's the point.

00:35:48.000 Look, candidates, we already talked about there's a direct correlation between your ability to raise money as a candidate and getting your message out.

00:35:56.000 The Republican Party, they don't give you money.

00:35:59.000 It's all about your ability to raise money.

00:36:01.000 You want to talk about big tech having their finger on the thumb or their finger on the scale, tipping the scale in one direction.

00:36:08.000 Now, Google any other candidate in the state of Pennsylvania.

00:36:12.000 Who would you be running against?

00:36:13.000 I mean, just Google a guy named John Fetterman, the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania.

00:36:18.000 How do you spell Fetterman?

00:36:19.000 Yeah, I got him.

00:36:20.000 Yeah, just Google him.

00:36:21.000 See if his website comes up on Google first thing.

00:36:23.000 First thing is his Twitter, and then governor.pa.gov, then JohnFetterman.com.

00:36:28.000 Okay, there you go.

00:36:30.000 So, if you're on Google, the primary mechanism that everybody in the country... And he's running for the Senate.

00:36:34.000 And he's running for the Senate.

00:36:35.000 So, my opponent right now, or a potential opponent right now... There's a primary, right?

00:36:41.000 There's a primary, right?

00:36:42.000 There's a Republican primary.

00:36:43.000 But my point is, they have a distinct advantage right now, and this is big tech.

00:36:49.000 I'm telling you, this is big tech.

00:36:52.000 Putting their thumb on the scale.

00:36:54.000 Helping one side over the other.

00:36:56.000 So yes, there needs to be reform.

00:36:58.000 And by the way, this hinders my ability to raise money and get my message out.

00:37:05.000 Hey, smash my win red link and contribute to my campaign because you can't find it on the website and I'm gonna need all the help I can get in the Senate race in Pennsylvania.

00:37:14.000 You do, but I think it might be too late.

00:37:17.000 So what year was it that Alex and Milo and everybody got banned?

00:37:20.000 Was it 2018?

00:37:22.000 Yeah, that was a couple years ago.

00:37:24.000 A couple years ago.

00:37:24.000 17 or 18.

00:37:26.000 Paul Joseph Watson got his Instagram taken down and it was just like selfies in the sun or whatever.

00:37:30.000 Banned from Facebook.

00:37:31.000 Milo, Alex.

00:37:32.000 Now, people might not like them, but a lot of people do like them.

00:37:36.000 And they were some of Trump's biggest supporters.

00:37:39.000 And it was obvious.

00:37:40.000 Get rid of the largest communities where people gather to support Donald Trump and other populist politicians, and you will beat them.

00:37:50.000 And it happened.

00:37:52.000 It happened over and over and over and it kept happening. 1.00

00:37:54.000 And I talk about this because I made a segment something about Republicans are too stupid to deal with censorship to save their own careers. 1.00

00:37:59.000 And here we go. 1.00

00:38:00.000 Now they're not going to win.

00:38:01.000 They're going to win where it's deep red.

00:38:04.000 But, I mean, I will say, surprisingly, the polling was tremendously favorable to Republicans in the 2020 election, for sure.

00:38:12.000 But right now, with what we're seeing out of, you know, Pennsylvania, for instance, Philadelphia specifically, 30-point lead for the progressive?

00:38:20.000 All right, I don't think we're gonna see Republican, you know, huge turnout in the general, because it's just, it's a city.

00:38:26.000 Philadelphia is tough, but I will tell you, this is what I mean about going to certain places.

00:38:32.000 The first week of the campaign, I went into South Philly, I went to the Italian market, and I talked to business owners there.

00:38:38.000 Showing up matters.

00:38:40.000 It doesn't mean you're going to get a majority of the vote.

00:38:43.000 But you've got to show up for people, right?

00:38:46.000 And, you know, I've been on this show with you four times.

00:38:49.000 It's not like I'm a crazy right-wing bomb thrower.

00:38:52.000 Truthfully, I'm a consensus builder.

00:38:54.000 I consider myself a leader, right?

00:38:56.000 You know, when I was in Afghanistan, I led the most diverse platoon you could possibly imagine.

00:39:00.000 Rich next to poor, black next to white, Christians next to atheists, next to Muslims, Democrats next to Republicans, next to socialists, you know? 0.58

00:39:08.000 We figured out a way to make it work in one of the most hostile regions on the planet because we figured out a way to look past our many differences as Americans and unite under a common banner and fight for a common mission.

00:39:17.000 If I can do that in Afghanistan on a remote hilltop in one of the most hostile regions on the planet, we sure as heck can do it here in the country. 0.99

00:39:23.000 That's my message everywhere, yet you can't find me on Google.

00:39:27.000 And that's a problem.

00:39:28.000 It's a real problem.

00:39:29.000 Do you know when the Republican primary is going to be?

00:39:31.000 It for Senate.

00:39:32.000 Yeah, it's a year.

00:39:33.000 It's a year.

00:39:33.000 So that may if in case you're wondering, yes, that's a long time.

00:39:36.000 Yes, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

00:39:38.000 But the problem is, is and I do think campaigns generally last way too long, but we've already got candidates in the race raising a ton of money, especially on the Democrat side.

00:39:48.000 And if we wait to get in, you could find yourself in a 10 million dollar hole and that's impossible to dig yourself out, you know, so.

00:39:55.000 I mean, I suppose there's some optimism in that the Democrats have a very, very slim control right now and they've gone back to sleep.

00:40:02.000 Ratings are in the gutter because Democrats don't pay attention anymore.

00:40:05.000 Look, 2022 is going to be... Look, we talked about the ballot questions.

00:40:09.000 That should give you a little inkling about where public sentiment is with regards to these lockdowns, for example, or control, which is really a core pillar of Democrats or radical Democrats.

00:40:24.000 And so I think 2022 is going to be a great year for Republicans, conservatives, leaders in Pennsylvania.

00:40:33.000 Pennsylvania is absolutely winnable.

00:40:36.000 Absolutely winnable.

00:40:38.000 I personally think we're going to win Pennsylvania.

00:40:40.000 So who are the senators right now for Pennsylvania?

00:40:43.000 uh... senator pat to me who is his seat being vacated right so he's a republican

00:40:47.000 and so there's an open seat right it's an open seats you would be campaigning against

00:40:50.000 an incumbent you get an open seats first time there's no conceit in pennsylvania

00:40:54.000 very long time yet senator bob casey who is a democrat

00:40:57.000 he's been there uh... for a couple of a bowl of a re-election or it's a it's

00:41:02.000 And so if this goes Democrat, it's 51.

00:41:02.000 that out Just to me?

00:41:03.000 It's so to me. Yes. Yes. So this is an open seat. Right. So a Republican is retiring.

00:41:08.000 And so, yes, biggest Senate race in the country. So this goes Democrat.

00:41:15.000 It's you lose control. You lose control of the Senate. It's already you have tiebreaker goes to the Democrats because

00:41:20.000 of Kamala Harris.

00:41:21.000 So we had the Senate seat in Pennsylvania is a must hold seat.

00:41:26.000 It's a must-hold seat.

00:41:27.000 It is because of Manchin.

00:41:30.000 Manchin is the West Virginia Democrat who's a Democrat, and the Democrats are outraged because they call him the gatekeeper, the keyholder.

00:41:38.000 That's right.

00:41:39.000 If you lose Pennsylvania and it goes Democrat, Manchin's out, it doesn't matter anymore.

00:41:43.000 Now he can side with the Republicans and the Democrats win.

00:41:46.000 You're 100% correct.

00:41:47.000 And I mean, Kristen Sienema, Senator Sienema right out of Arizona is sort of holding the line with Senator Manchin as well, right?

00:41:54.000 But without Pennsylvania, without Pennsylvania, the path to the majority is through Arizona, right?

00:42:00.000 Against against Senator Kelly, a Democrat.

00:42:03.000 Or in New Hampshire, right?

00:42:08.000 That's why my campaign motto is, win Pennsylvania, save America.

00:42:11.000 Because we are the true hedge against the radicalism of the new progressive left.

00:42:17.000 This is 2022.

00:42:18.000 This is 2022.

00:42:19.000 So it's also possible that Republicans take back the House, which even 538 right now is saying Republicans are likely going to win back the House.

00:42:27.000 I'm not entirely confident unless we start seeing some actual populists run and win many of these seats.

00:42:35.000 Because if we just get more establishment types like Cheney's or Kinzinger's, then it's meaningless.

00:42:39.000 Candidates matter.

00:42:41.000 Candidates matter a lot.

00:42:43.000 If you're out there and you're thinking of running for office, whether it's local, state, or federal, It's not just about your ability to articulate a message, OK?

00:42:53.000 It's about your ability to fundraise.

00:42:54.000 And it is not easy, right?

00:42:57.000 Fundraising means that you're like people think that me running a campaign, first of all, is like on stage with Trump, like at a rally in front of 50000 people.

00:43:06.000 And yeah, that happens.

00:43:07.000 And yeah, that was it was an unbelievable experience to be a part of that.

00:43:10.000 But that's one percent of it.

00:43:12.000 It's like a five hours a day on the phone calling people, cold calling

00:43:16.000 people.

00:43:16.000 Have you ever done sales calls?

00:43:17.000 Try cold calling people and just say, hey, you know, and then asking for like

00:43:21.000 twenty nine hundred bucks, see how often you get hung up, see how often people

00:43:24.000 tell you no, but you have to be relentless with it.

00:43:27.000 And what I see is that all too often candidates aren't willing to do that.

00:43:31.000 And but but you got to do it.

00:43:33.000 You know, one of the biggest challenges for Republicans is when you're dealing with a message of we're going to give

00:43:39.000 you free stuff versus be responsible for yourself and go work hard.

00:43:43.000 I think I know where people are going to lean towards.

00:43:45.000 I don't know about that Tim.

00:43:46.000 I know that I know that like and I'll tell you talking to business owners like one of the main issues that they're facing right now and whether it's in the restaurant industry in the manufacturing sector or whatever is that we're paying people more.

00:43:46.000 I don't know.

00:44:00.000 to stay home on unemployment than go to work.

00:44:02.000 That's a problem, right?

00:44:03.000 And people are choosing to do it.

00:44:04.000 Yeah, well, that's right.

00:44:05.000 I mean, well, look, if you're if you're if you're a mother of three,

00:44:09.000 you've got three little kids and you have an opportunity to stay home with your kids for a few weeks and spend time

00:44:14.000 with them.

00:44:15.000 You're going to take that.

00:44:15.000 And I'm not going to fault you. Right.

00:44:17.000 Well, the GOP tweeted, you said that they tweeted.

00:44:20.000 What did they say?

00:44:21.000 That, you know, more women are choosing to stay at home and be with their children than go to work. 1.00

00:44:25.000 And all of these, like, Twitter conservatives were like, what is wrong with you?

00:44:30.000 I don't know.

00:44:31.000 Look, I'm focused on winning the Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022.

00:44:34.000 I can't speak to any of that.

00:44:36.000 But, like, our job as leaders, I think, you know, and part of my core philosophy is, you know, It's my personal mission is to go to go to Washington when we win.

00:44:49.000 Do everything that I can to shrink the size and scope of the federal government, because I think that too much consolidated power in Washington, I believe that there's a direct correlation between that consolidated power and less freedom in our lives.

00:45:01.000 Right.

00:45:02.000 And so we can shrink the size and scope of the federal government.

00:45:05.000 We can divert as much power back to the states as humanly possible, because ultimately the states are the experts of a state.

00:45:11.000 States are the they know what they need.

00:45:13.000 Right.

00:45:14.000 And so more freedom on our lives is a good thing.

00:45:18.000 And then when I'm done with that, I mean, I'm not a career politician.

00:45:20.000 You're not going to see me in Washington for 40 years, but you bet.

00:45:22.000 After a couple of terms, I'm going to get myself a farm in western Pennsylvania and probably never talk to anybody again.

00:45:27.000 But but but but I know I know you do.

00:45:31.000 But the point is that I think by and large it's our job to advocate for things like pro-growth policies, right?

00:45:39.000 like low taxes, letting people keep more of their own money, rolling back regulations to make sure that Pennsylvania

00:45:44.000 is a place where people can start a business and not feel like it's too onerous of a process, right?

00:45:49.000 Protecting the energy industry, understanding that there are a couple different pillars

00:45:52.000 underneath that issue, one of which is the economic issue, people paying more for gas right now

00:45:57.000 than they probably should, more to heat their homes.

00:45:59.000 That economic issue disproportionately affects the middle income to lower income families.

00:46:04.000 Like we don't want that, right?

00:46:05.000 We want those families to be lifted up and keep more of their money.

00:46:08.000 So to the extent that we can be energy independent, it's good for middle middle class, lower income people.

00:46:12.000 But there's also significant national security implications for it.

00:46:15.000 You look at what's happening now, right?

00:46:16.000 Joe Biden cancels the Keystone XL pipeline, puts 10,000 plus union workers out of work, hurts our energy independence all with the stroke of a pen, while approving and rolling back sanctions on Russia.

00:46:30.000 So Joe Biden is literally creating jobs in Russia, helping their energy independence, helping the Russian economy to allow them to export natural gas all around the world, all while they're on the border of Ukraine.

00:46:46.000 Imagine if President Trump did that.

00:46:49.000 They would be calling him a Russian asset.

00:46:51.000 Well, they already were, but you know.

00:46:53.000 Oh, of course, they already were.

00:46:54.000 But yes.

00:46:55.000 This proves it.

00:46:55.000 Yeah, this proves it.

00:46:56.000 But you see my point, right?

00:46:57.000 And so energy independence is something that's important.

00:47:01.000 It's a major pillar of the economy in Pennsylvania.

00:47:03.000 And health care is a big deal, right?

00:47:06.000 The GOP has not had a good answer on health care for a long time.

00:47:11.000 And I think, you know, part of my platform is having a good market based, innovative plan for health care.

00:47:18.000 Like we all talk about the Republican talking points of letting insurance companies compete across state lines, more flexibility, more choice means lower cost for the consumer and a more diverse Health care plan offering.

00:47:29.000 All of that's great.

00:47:31.000 And talking about association health care plans of the idea of small businesses being able to band together to have the same purchasing power as large corporations.

00:47:38.000 That's good.

00:47:39.000 Right.

00:47:40.000 But what if we think outside the box for a second and take things a step further and say, why don't we let individuals of a similar age, sex, demographic with similar health care needs, individuals band together on app based technology It essentially becomes an insurance pool.

00:47:56.000 You have millions of people on there.

00:47:57.000 You got to call a platinum plan, gold plan, silver plan, whatever.

00:48:00.000 But people that like 25 year olds have similar health care needs.

00:48:04.000 Right now, it's not perfect.

00:48:05.000 Right.

00:48:06.000 But you can invest money.

00:48:07.000 You pay a certain amount of money on a monthly fee for a health care app.

00:48:10.000 You become a member of that health care plan and you allow individuals now to have the same purchasing power as large corporations.

00:48:16.000 Republicans need to need to start thinking outside the box on having good Pragmatics policy solutions to make our lives better.

00:48:27.000 It's true.

00:48:28.000 But you go to a regular person and say, they want you to come up with some plan for banding together.

00:48:33.000 We're just going to give you free stuff.

00:48:36.000 Well, the problem is, is that, you know, first of all, it's not, it's not virtuous to take someone else's money, tax someone else and give their money to someone else.

00:48:44.000 There are a lot of people who don't care.

00:48:46.000 Well, just give me the free stuff.

00:48:47.000 I don't care.

00:48:48.000 They will care because the problem is, is eventually you run out of other people's money.

00:48:52.000 And then the Democrats come out and blame the Republicans saying it's your fault for not raising the debt ceiling or whatever.

00:48:58.000 And so you look at what's going on with these police and they defund the police.

00:49:02.000 There's then no cops to deal with crime.

00:49:04.000 And they say, see, look, the cops aren't even doing anything anyway.

00:49:07.000 They use the problem they create to then advocate for more destruction of the system.

00:49:13.000 You can't just be like free health care.

00:49:15.000 Which is what they keep saying and regular people who don't know are like, I'll vote for that and they're like, okay

00:49:20.000 Now, how do we do it? Well, you can't so let's just fake it till you make it

00:49:23.000 So they're like print more money, I guess I think AOC actually said deficit spend. Oh, right just

00:49:28.000 Basically, you're just talking about stripping away the the value of the working class from their savings to fund 1.00

00:49:35.000 health care Yeah, it's distribution. Well, it's not you know, I mean

00:49:38.000 just health care If you're looking at like, so Joe Biden, I think in his first hundred days as president infused something like two and a half trillion dollars of cash into the economy.

00:49:50.000 And what you're seeing is not just a lackluster jobs report.

00:49:53.000 I think they expected, you know, close to a million jobs.

00:49:57.000 They got 250,000.

00:49:58.000 Absolutely horrible.

00:49:59.000 Right.

00:50:00.000 So there was that in addition to inflation just this month, 4.2 percent.

00:50:04.000 Right.

00:50:05.000 Now, inflation means the dollar has individuals have less purchasing power.

00:50:10.000 Their dollar is worth less.

00:50:11.000 It's basically inflation is a tax on everybody.

00:50:14.000 And again, it disproportionately affects middle to lower income people.

00:50:18.000 When you want to look at inflation, you see inflation reflected in the cost of our commodities, like try to go and buy lumber to build a deck on your house.

00:50:25.000 And you're going to spend probably five, six times as much on that wood.

00:50:30.000 Right.

00:50:30.000 So.

00:50:32.000 Inflation is not just on our doorstep.

00:50:34.000 It's here.

00:50:35.000 Joe Biden, for all he talks about, he's not going to tax people that make less than $400,000 a year.

00:50:40.000 First of all, I wouldn't believe that.

00:50:42.000 He's going to.

00:50:44.000 But inflation is a tax on the middle income.

00:50:47.000 It's a tax on middle income families.

00:50:51.000 Not being energy independent essentially is a tax on middle income, lower income families.

00:50:57.000 So the point that I'm building to here is that it's our job as leaders in the Republican Party to have policies and be able to specifically articulate those policies that advocate for pro-growth positions.

00:51:09.000 And they can't just be talking points.

00:51:10.000 You have to talk about why it's important to advocate for policies to make Pennsylvania prosperous, right?

00:51:16.000 Let's talk about policies that we don't want.

00:51:19.000 We have this story from the Daily Mail.

00:51:21.000 Exclusive!

00:51:22.000 It's become an outdoor psychiatric ward.

00:51:25.000 How California's scenic Venice Beach has become a homeless hotspot with tent cities, violent crime, and rampant drug use pushing families and tourists out.

00:51:34.000 I'm not even sure I can show any of the photos because you might get in trouble on here.

00:51:38.000 But you can see that, for a lot of reasons, it's just be- Wow.

00:51:42.000 Wow, wow, wow, that's all I can say.

00:51:44.000 I was- I was in Venice only a few years ago.

00:51:46.000 I skate- skate right there all the time.

00:51:47.000 You got these before and after 2015 and 2021.

00:51:50.000 Yikes.

00:51:51.000 You swipe across... tent cities.

00:51:55.000 Something doesn't work in California.

00:51:56.000 Their policies are just a disaster.

00:51:59.000 And it's unfortunate because, you know, Northern California is very different from the big cities in California.

00:52:03.000 And when most people talk about California, they're not talking about the, you know, the farming territories and the counties in the east.

00:52:09.000 They're talking about L.A.

00:52:11.000 and San Francisco, maybe Sacramento, the Bay Area.

00:52:13.000 Even San Diego's got, I think they still have a Republican mayor.

00:52:16.000 But their policies don't work, whatever this is.

00:52:18.000 There's a recall now for Gavin Newsom.

00:52:21.000 What you see in places like California will be coming to many more places in this country if these policies expand.

00:52:28.000 So if Pennsylvania ends up going Democrat, they're just going to keep burning the place down.

00:52:35.000 It's going to become more and more like this.

00:52:37.000 I mean, you're right.

00:52:38.000 I mean, California has been under a uniparty rule, a Democrat rule, for how long now?

00:52:44.000 30, 40, 50 years?

00:52:45.000 I mean, something insane.

00:52:46.000 Republican before, like, what, 90, 91 or 92?

00:52:48.000 Yeah.

00:52:49.000 Yeah.

00:52:50.000 And so, yeah, I think that there there is a direct correlation between, you know, this new new progressive Democrat views and entrenched poverty in places like California and drug use and high crime.

00:53:03.000 Right.

00:53:04.000 And people keep voting for it.

00:53:06.000 I mean, in some places, in some places, you know, I think Pennsylvania is one of those places that, you know, in 2022, you know, Pennsylvania has a lot of independents that I think are going to have buyer's remorse that that perhaps believe Joe Biden was a moderate, not their fault.

00:53:24.000 The media portrayed him as a moderate.

00:53:27.000 and big tech censored stories that were negative about him.

00:53:30.000 And so you saw that poll of like, you know, how, what percentage of people

00:53:33.000 would have voted differently had they known the Hunter Biden?

00:53:35.000 I mean, that, that, that alone, like an average of what, 6, 6, 4, 6 or 7% of

00:53:39.000 people, yeah, would not have voted for Joe Biden and they know that story.

00:53:42.000 And, and like big tech totally censored it.

00:53:46.000 They censored one of the one of the oldest newspapers in the country.

00:53:49.000 So it's not like it was a newspaper that they censored.

00:53:52.000 So.

00:53:53.000 So, yeah, I think that that it but I think that there's going to be a lot of independence and I think there's even going to be some moderate Democrats saying, whoa, this is not what I bargained for.

00:54:03.000 And so, you know me, I'm an idealist when it comes to this country.

00:54:08.000 I think it can be saved with the right candidates, with the right message and the ability to articulate and willingness to go to the places where you need to build bridges, you know?

00:54:20.000 And that's what we're trying to do in Pennsylvania.

00:54:22.000 What's your history like politically?

00:54:24.000 What did you affiliate as in your 20s?

00:54:27.000 I've always been, I've always been conservative.

00:54:28.000 You know, I don't know, have you ever seen that movie Legends of the Fall?

00:54:31.000 No, only clips.

00:54:33.000 Everyone on the show is like, what, Parnell watched Legends of the Fall?

00:54:37.000 Yeah, I watched it once when I was younger.

00:54:39.000 But like, I have a lot of, I have a lot of libertarian, libertarian, you know, views.

00:54:48.000 I mean, I don't, I don't, I don't like the government.

00:54:53.000 I don't think that they run things efficiently.

00:54:55.000 And if you don't believe me, let me think of an example.

00:54:57.000 Like Cash for Clunkers.

00:54:58.000 Remember that?

00:54:59.000 They come with an awesome program, right?

00:55:01.000 They ran out of cash in a month.

00:55:03.000 Remember the Obamacare website?

00:55:06.000 Remember when Obama gave all those guns to the cartels? 1.00

00:55:09.000 They were just ass. 1.00

00:55:09.000 Oh, I remember. 1.00

00:55:13.000 You know, you know, classic classical liberalism.

00:55:16.000 Right.

00:55:17.000 After the Vietnam War is really, I think, was when it was born, was all based on critical thinking and mistrust of the government.

00:55:24.000 Right.

00:55:25.000 And for classical liberalism is like what founded this country.

00:55:27.000 Well, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.

00:55:29.000 Of course.

00:55:31.000 But in the wake of in the wake of the Vietnam War, like if the government told you to eat white bread, you know, most liberals were like, no, I mean, we'd read just because the government told you.

00:55:40.000 But somewhere somewhere along the way, There's been a shift on the left from the sort of classical liberalism and tolerance and diverse set of ideals to believing everything the government says hook, line, and sinker with no critical thinking.

00:55:57.000 Just gotta not be a conservative.

00:55:59.000 That's it.

00:56:00.000 So even now when Fauci is like, you can take off your mask if you're vaccinated, they're like, no, no, because then people will think I'm a conservative.

00:56:07.000 Well, who cares what is it that their whole identity is built upon hating somebody?

00:56:12.000 That's it.

00:56:12.000 It's like, what are your politics?

00:56:13.000 I just hate that guy.

00:56:15.000 Is that it? 0.88

00:56:15.000 That's right. 0.88

00:56:15.000 That's that's part of the reason why. 0.88

00:56:17.000 That's part of the reason why, you know, I think it's very important to be a happy warrior.

00:56:23.000 Right.

00:56:23.000 Because, you know, if you're running a campaign, you know, one of the things you have to do is draw a contrast.

00:56:28.000 Right.

00:56:28.000 Give people a choice.

00:56:30.000 And I think one of the ways I think the radical left today's day and age They're pretty unhappy.

00:56:30.000 Right.

00:56:34.000 They're unhappy.

00:56:35.000 And I feel like they're unhappy a lot.

00:56:38.000 I'll tell you this.

00:56:39.000 In the past year, two years, we have seen the biggest de-radicalization of the left that we've probably ever seen in this country.

00:56:49.000 I'm pretty impressed.

00:56:49.000 So a lot of people I knew from Occupy Wall Street, the Antifa far leftists, they're cheering for major pharmaceutical companies.

00:56:56.000 They're cheering for the FBI and the government.

00:56:58.000 And I'm like, I see their posts, and I'm not kidding, like Antifa types saying like, yay, FBI, you go get Giuliani, and I'm like, I'm glad to see that you've reformed your ways and you're pro-federal government.

00:57:09.000 And they're like, well, I mean, it's different now, because they're going after people I like, and I'm like, yeah, so you like the FBI, right?

00:57:14.000 Like, that's cool.

00:57:15.000 I remember when you thought they were bad and wanted to like, you know, you hated the government and were protesting all the time.

00:57:20.000 Now you're cheering for the government.

00:57:22.000 Now you're cheering for the massive multinational pharmaceutical companies.

00:57:25.000 So, hey, good for you.

00:57:26.000 I thought you were kind of off the deep end.

00:57:29.000 They don't seem to self-reflect.

00:57:31.000 Ten years ago, they were like, Monsanto, bad.

00:57:32.000 These big pharmaceutical companies are evil.

00:57:34.000 Now they're like, yay, which team are you on?

00:57:38.000 Um, you know, yeah, I think that's why the Republican Party, they've got a tremendous opportunity, right?

00:57:48.000 I just, I think that, you know, gosh, President Trump, he brought about a massive shift in the Republican Party, especially in Pennsylvania, right?

00:57:59.000 Where And in the span of four years, the Republican Party has become less the part.

00:58:05.000 I mean, in fact, probably not at all at this point, the party of large corporations to the party of the working man and woman like the shift is like unbelievable.

00:58:15.000 And so Democrats are the party.

00:58:16.000 Yes.

00:58:17.000 And the college professors, and the Hollywood people, and the big tech people, yes.

00:58:22.000 earners in the country have been demanding for four years that the working class pay 0.94

00:58:25.000 off all of their debts.

00:58:27.000 And we're to the point now where Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders have entertained stripping

00:58:33.000 the value from the working class savings to pay off the debts of the highest income earners

00:58:36.000 in the country.

00:58:37.000 I want everyone to think about that for two seconds.

00:58:39.000 Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were in favor of stripping the savings, devaluing

00:58:44.000 the savings of the working class to pay off the highest income earners' debts.

00:58:50.000 That's absolutely correct.

00:58:51.000 That's college degrees.

00:58:52.000 Yes.

00:58:53.000 People with college degrees make substantially more than people without it, and those people are demanding the poor pay their bills for them.

00:59:00.000 I'm not.

00:59:01.000 I'm not all about that.

00:59:01.000 That's wrong.

00:59:02.000 That is wrong.

00:59:03.000 And you're 100% correct.

00:59:05.000 How have the conservatives moved?

00:59:09.000 They appear to be even lefter than many of the modern Democrats.

00:59:13.000 No joke.

00:59:14.000 You've got the Trump supporters.

00:59:17.000 Many are working class union guys who want their factories back.

00:59:20.000 And then you've got the university leftists with their degrees and their Hillary Clinton and their hedge funds and their super PACs.

00:59:27.000 And then you see the neocons, Lincoln Project people joining the Democrats.

00:59:33.000 How is it that Republicans are left of the establishment Democrats?

00:59:38.000 They're defending the workers' rights, not the Democrats.

00:59:41.000 The Democrats are stripping away their rights, stripping away their value, giving money to the bourgeoisie.

00:59:47.000 Look, I think the Republican Party has to embrace this new identity, this new working class identity.

00:59:53.000 These are our people.

00:59:54.000 These are the people that built this country, right?

00:59:56.000 And I think that we have to, I think that we've got to be there for them.

00:59:59.000 We can't shun them.

01:00:00.000 I mean, Jim Banks had a memo, if you've seen Jim Banks's memo, the working class memo, and basically it is, Congressman Banks is, I think he's great, but he's got a memo out there about the path forward for the Republican Party, and it's like a two-page plan of what the Republican Party needs to do to be successful.

01:00:20.000 It's awesome, and we should totally embrace it.

01:00:23.000 You should Google it right now and have a look at it, but it's something that we should definitely... Look, it's showing up for the people... Here's what you do.

01:00:31.000 You just write down what Ron DeSantis does.

01:00:34.000 And then just be like what he said.

01:00:36.000 He's coming to Pittsburgh tomorrow.

01:00:37.000 I'm gonna be with him tomorrow.

01:00:38.000 He's been doing a fantastic job.

01:00:41.000 He's far from perfect.

01:00:42.000 Look, he's balanced protecting people from a global pandemic with people's freedom, right?

01:00:50.000 And social media censorship.

01:00:53.000 Yeah, he's done a pretty darn good job.

01:00:56.000 You know, there are concerns about what people people question conservatives.

01:01:00.000 His stance on free speech issues like he may be opposed to the censorship, but it's aimed

01:01:05.000 mostly at affecting politicians.

01:01:08.000 And then there are some issues around people's right to free speech, I think, relating to

01:01:10.000 Israel that people are concerned about.

01:01:13.000 But I look at you know, I don't just see like one thing and say flush the baby out the bathwater.

01:01:17.000 I'm like, hey, Ron DeSantis is doing it pretty well.

01:01:20.000 Texas is doing pretty well, too.

01:01:22.000 Their social media bill, apparently, is much, much better.

01:01:26.000 And we need to see more red states start having this aggressive legislation to go after these companies and these things.

01:01:35.000 Because I'll tell you, Florida has this bill that's, that's, I believe, I believe Santa's may have already signed it or he's about to sign it, which gives protections to individuals, companies, news organizations, and politicians when it comes to censorship.

01:01:47.000 However, Facebook, as Ian points out, could be like, then we're cutting off Florida.

01:01:51.000 And if you have a Florida IP, you can't access the service anymore.

01:01:53.000 Sure.

01:01:54.000 Then what happens in West Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, they all start lining up with the exact same legislation.

01:02:00.000 Okay, then Facebook only exists in New York and California.

01:02:02.000 How about that?

01:02:03.000 No, they wouldn't want that.

01:02:04.000 that would destroy the company. So they would say, okay, fine, you win. We'll stop censoring

01:02:08.000 conservatives. You know, one of the biggest problems that I have with politics right now

01:02:13.000 is that I mentioned conservatives. Many Republicans seem to be more concerned about

01:02:17.000 the opinion of the New York times than their constituents.

01:02:19.000 Like they're more worried than your time. They'll say about them than their own

01:02:22.000 constituents. Yeah. You, you look at what the media says and they lie every single day.

01:02:27.000 They say, there is no bias against conservatives.

01:02:29.000 And I'm like, but you're the one, it was Gizmodo that broke the first story, one of the first, that Facebook was censoring conservative news outlets.

01:02:37.000 Now they changed their tune because they realized it's a good thing.

01:02:41.000 These journalists who first reported it were like, oh, look what I found.

01:02:43.000 Then they were like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:02:44.000 We like that they're censoring these ideas because then people can't have them.

01:02:48.000 If they don't share the ideas, they won't know. 0.97

01:02:50.000 So keep them ignorant. 0.98

01:02:51.000 Keep them in the dark. 1.00

01:02:52.000 Treat them like mushrooms. 1.00

01:02:53.000 You know, you feed them crap and you keep them in the dark. 0.99

01:02:55.000 So now you're going to start seeing a lot of states, hopefully, start picking this up. 0.98

01:02:59.000 I'm stoked when I look at the past 10 years and I see how many states have adopted constitutional carry.

01:03:03.000 Fantastic.

01:03:04.000 It's remarkable.

01:03:05.000 I didn't even realize that in the 80s, you couldn't even get a concealed carry permit in most states.

01:03:09.000 It was like May issue.

01:03:10.000 They'd tell you to screw off.

01:03:11.000 Now it's constitutional carry.

01:03:12.000 You walk in, you pass a background check, you walk out with a gun and you can be carrying it, concealing it, whatever.

01:03:18.000 Fantastic.

01:03:18.000 Protecting people's rights.

01:03:19.000 Let's see the same thing across the board at the state level.

01:03:22.000 The states need to start passing these laws.

01:03:24.000 Local is where it's at.

01:03:26.000 Yes, yes.

01:03:27.000 I would also say that I think it's very, the states that do the best have a great communication between their federal office holders, the governor, and the state legislatures, right?

01:03:39.000 So I think yes, yes, I think a governor can have an unbelievable power if he's got a legislature that's willing to work with him.

01:03:46.000 They can get a lot of things done and bring about profound positive change in people's lives.

01:03:51.000 I think you take that to the next level, where you've got a governor that's communicating seamlessly with, like, a senator or congressman or women, and everything is working like a smoothly oiled machine.

01:04:04.000 That's how you do it.

01:04:05.000 And that's really what we're trying to do in Pennsylvania with regards to uniting the Republican Party, both in Washington, D.C., as a candidate for Senate, as a liaison to the federal government, But also working hand in glove with those state representatives who are boots on the ground in their communities every day and making sure our messaging is on point, our organizing is on point, our fundraising is on point, and we're advocating for policies that are the best for all of Pennsylvania at every level, right?

01:04:33.000 I'm concerned that just the fragmentation of the U.S.

01:04:36.000 is getting too severe.

01:04:37.000 You know, when you look at these cities, they got rising crime, they have ongoing riots, and they just, for whatever reason, you get more far leftists in.

01:04:45.000 And then I can only imagine that in the red areas, people are separating each other, you know?

01:04:49.000 Like, how many people have moved to Texas recently?

01:04:52.000 Tons of personalities that are conservative are fleeing to Texas.

01:04:55.000 So Texas is going to become increasingly more red, the blue areas will become increasingly more blue, and then there's going to be no real overlap.

01:05:03.000 I think so.

01:05:03.000 I think there are some people that would say that there are leftists moving from California to Texas.

01:05:08.000 And that's why people are worried about Texas turning blue.

01:05:11.000 There's this whole Texas turning blue movement.

01:05:11.000 Right.

01:05:13.000 So that's why people are leaving.

01:05:16.000 People are leaving states where they voted in Democrat Democrat leadership for 30 years and then going and essentially voting the same way in Texas.

01:05:24.000 And I don't think Texas is going to is going to turn blue, but people always talk about it.

01:05:28.000 I think now it won't because people who are fleeing to Texas are conservative or at least opposed to the Democrats.

01:05:34.000 They saw a huge rise in homeless in Austin recently.

01:05:38.000 I mean, it might just be everywhere in all these metropolitan cities.

01:05:41.000 Evictions are starting up, I think, in two months because the moratorium was ended.

01:05:44.000 In Texas?

01:05:45.000 Everywhere.

01:05:46.000 So we were on the verge of looking at like millions upon millions of evictions.

01:05:50.000 They said on 6th Street in Austin, it's just like tent city.

01:05:53.000 And in California, not just in Venice, in California, in L.A., there's just a tent city up and down, you know.

01:05:58.000 I heard something scary.

01:05:59.000 What streets?

01:06:00.000 There's a video rumor going around that the U.S.

01:06:02.000 government is threatening subsidies of farmers.

01:06:05.000 So there's a thing, I think it's called fallowing, where they're basically paid not to grow food.

01:06:10.000 And so there's a concern right now that because of the shortages and everything's happening and how the tax subsidies work, that we're like eight months out from some serious food shortages.

01:06:10.000 Yeah.

01:06:19.000 I wouldn't be surprised.

01:06:21.000 The idea that you can just stop an economy dead in its tracks and then snap your fingers and get it back going again?

01:06:26.000 Nah.

01:06:27.000 The workers are displaced.

01:06:28.000 What would be the end state for that?

01:06:29.000 How could that possibly be a good thing?

01:06:31.000 I haven't heard anything about that.

01:06:32.000 I'm not saying it's a good thing.

01:06:33.000 I'm not saying anybody wants to do it.

01:06:35.000 But why would the federal government want to do it?

01:06:37.000 The system by which we have subsidies for farmers has created a circumstance based on everything that's happened, which is contributing to the probability of more... So there's already food shortages.

01:06:48.000 I guess you're not seeing it in national news, but if you look at these local news outlets, they're talking about food shortages.

01:06:54.000 Now there's rumors that the supply chain disruption, the rising fuel costs have made everything substantially harder.

01:07:01.000 Workers are displaced because of the pandemic.

01:07:04.000 Many moved.

01:07:04.000 They're not going to go back to those jobs.

01:07:06.000 People don't realize that the shortage we're seeing for like computer chips.

01:07:06.000 Right.

01:07:10.000 What do you think is going to happen with food?

01:07:13.000 Like, do you think that food is immune from the shortages we're experiencing in the economy?

01:07:16.000 No, no.

01:07:17.000 And no, in fact, it's the supply logistics chain is real, right?

01:07:24.000 And you look at the look, look at the cost of food and how much people are paying for certain things.

01:07:29.000 It's it's it is absolutely concerning.

01:07:32.000 And my fear, is that, you know, because I mean, we're seeing inflation

01:07:36.000 now, you know, I think I think that I think the federal government like they're not going to hard

01:07:41.000 default on on our on our debt, right? I do think they're going to print their way our debt

01:07:45.000 and deficit issues are the biggest, the greatest leadership challenge that my generation of

01:07:48.000 leaders are going to face, right? It's a big deal. We've got to figure out what to do

01:07:52.000 with our debt and deficit. But, you know, we're not going to hard default on our debt.

01:07:56.000 But I do think what the plan is, is a soft default, which is to purposefully inflate our currency so that the value of our debt is worth less.

01:08:07.000 And I think that's what you're seeing right now.

01:08:09.000 And I think that's what you're talking to right now.

01:08:11.000 And my fear is that we are on the brink of now.

01:08:14.000 I mean, we're on the brink of what could be a recession, I think, a year from now, you know, and and hopefully,

01:08:26.000 hopefully we can pull ourselves out of it.

01:08:28.000 But like, we really have to start advocating for growth economic policies like right away.

01:08:33.000 We really have to start.

01:08:34.000 I don't know what... I don't know how you fix this, man.

01:08:37.000 The train... It's a freight train on the tracks, and then they just stopped it.

01:08:41.000 And then all the carts flew up in the air from the inertia and just scattered all over.

01:08:45.000 And now they're like, alright, set the train up again, and you're like, bro, one cart, like, rolled down the mountain.

01:08:49.000 It's in the ocean.

01:08:49.000 I don't even know how to get that back up here.

01:08:52.000 So when they shut down the economy...

01:08:54.000 And this idea that you could just start it up again is ludicrous.

01:08:57.000 Let's say you've got 10 employees making $16 an hour at a restaurant.

01:09:01.000 Economy shuts down.

01:09:03.000 These people who are in their early 20s decide to move back home.

01:09:05.000 They go to the suburbs to stay with their parents.

01:09:07.000 Okay, start the economy back up.

01:09:08.000 Restaurant goes, we don't have any employees.

01:09:11.000 We have to rehire everybody to start.

01:09:12.000 We don't have any money.

01:09:13.000 Food all spoiled.

01:09:14.000 You can't just do it.

01:09:15.000 We just spent an entire week going all across the state talking to business owners from Erie down to South Philly and they've all had that problem.

01:09:24.000 It is not imaginary.

01:09:26.000 And nobody wants to work when you're getting paid more not to work?

01:09:29.000 Yeah, and you're right, like they're having issues both in shipping and logistics and food processing and finding truck drivers and the cost of fuel has made it more difficult on truck drivers to get from point A to point B. I mean, there are issues at every level.

01:09:42.000 I mean, again, I think it can be saved, but it's going to take leadership and focus and Clear communication, clear honest communication with the American people, which, you know, is not Joe Biden's strong suit.

01:09:59.000 So, you know, look, that's that's why it's so important.

01:10:02.000 That's why it's so important to win in 2022.

01:10:04.000 That's why the slogan is win Pennsylvania, save America.

01:10:07.000 I wanna bring up a story we have here, this is really cool.

01:10:11.000 So I saw this story over at Daily Mail. It's body cam captures moment cops

01:10:15.000 single-handedly lifts overturned car off Virginia mother thrown outside vehicle

01:10:21.000 after crash. And first of all I was like dude that is cool.

01:10:24.000 A cop to save a woman lifted the vehicle by himself.

01:10:29.000 Amazing.

01:10:30.000 Now, I think it was upside down and he, like, was able to push it off and roll it or something.

01:10:30.000 Wow.

01:10:34.000 But I was also thinking, like, you rarely see these stories go viral.

01:10:38.000 Exactly.

01:10:39.000 I was just sitting here thinking the same thing.

01:10:41.000 It's, you know, you got all of this anti-police rhetoric every single day, which is, of course, why you're seeing violent crime rise in a city like Philadelphia.

01:10:52.000 You talk about removing a cop's qualified immunity.

01:10:55.000 Give your viewers an example of what that means.

01:10:58.000 As a soldier on the battlefield, you've got protection in that regard, too.

01:11:01.000 So, in other words, if one of my soldiers gets injured, I run out and I try to render first aid.

01:11:06.000 Maybe they've got a sucking chest wound, and we save their life, put them on a helicopter, get them back to the States, and maybe they have an issue with their lungs.

01:11:13.000 Right?

01:11:14.000 Like, should that soldier be able to sue the federal government or the Department of Defense because he was wounded on the battlefield?

01:11:20.000 Right now, it's illegal.

01:11:22.000 You can't do that.

01:11:23.000 Because at the end of the day, you're in combat.

01:11:25.000 You're surrounded by death and destruction.

01:11:27.000 You're doing the best you can to save lives.

01:11:28.000 So the government is immune from...

01:11:30.000 The DOD or the Army in general.

01:11:32.000 So what does this mean for the cop?

01:11:34.000 Well, the cop, what it means for the cop is that, you know, if a cop is out there like just trying to do their job and they can be sued by, they can be sued by anybody for doing anything.

01:11:45.000 800 times.

01:11:45.000 Absolutely.

01:11:46.000 So it's like defunding, you're 100% right.

01:11:48.000 It's like defunding the police without actually Def right there. All right. It's all a ready to be. Yes

01:11:53.000 I think that that was a challenge because I'm not entirely sure

01:11:55.000 You know how you deal with it just not being able to sue maybe there should be a higher burden or something

01:12:01.000 Because when we had I think Chauvin they said he had you know

01:12:04.000 Like 19 complaints or something out of 18 years and I'm like actually sounds pretty good

01:12:08.000 You'd think a cop is like I'm writing a ticket. I'm gonna complain about you

01:12:11.000 It's like, everyone's gonna complain, nobody wants to get pulled over, nobody wants to get arrested.

01:12:14.000 The point, the point, what we're talking about though, is like, to your point, is like, all we hear is the negative.

01:12:20.000 But cops, they are out there every single day putting it all on the line, doing good things for people, and this story is just one example of it.

01:12:28.000 It's a cool story, let me show a little bit.

01:12:30.000 So this is a vehicle flipped over and the officer was able to lift it up to save the individual.

01:12:36.000 I mean, I'll just give you the bullet points here.

01:12:38.000 They say, Gloucester County Sheriff Deputy John Holt rescued the woman when she had been trapped under the sunroof of the car after it wrecked on May 7th.

01:12:46.000 Her young son is heard desperately crying out, Mommy, Mommy, before the deputy was able to rescue her.

01:12:50.000 The incredible video has since gone viral after being shared on Tuesday by the sheriff's office with more than 84,000 views on Facebook.

01:12:57.000 That's not viral.

01:12:59.000 84,000 views.

01:13:00.000 Not viral.

01:13:02.000 You can go on Twitter and there's a video of some random dude farting.

01:13:05.000 It's got a million views.

01:13:06.000 Don't talk about viral.

01:13:07.000 They say he recently received a local and regional Top Cop award for saving a disabled young girl and a woman from a burning home last March.

01:13:15.000 But I still see this and I'm like, I've heard these stories about how people can muster up inhuman strength because humans are actually much stronger than we are on a daily basis.

01:13:26.000 There's, I don't know exactly how it works, but I read there's like a limiter that humans only exert around 20% of their actual muscular capacity.

01:13:32.000 How do you know this stuff?

01:13:34.000 I'm on Reddit and someone posted, like, did you know?

01:13:37.000 I don't know if it's true.

01:13:38.000 You've got to fact check me on this one.

01:13:40.000 But it's something like, there's a limit to how much strength we can use unless we get our adrenaline pumping and it's a live or die moment because your muscles start destroying themselves when you exert too much.

01:13:50.000 But you hear these stories about a mother and she's able to, like, Pull her daughter up like hanging from with one arm and lift them up and then pull herself up to save a child or like lift a vehicle.

01:14:00.000 These are cool stories.

01:14:02.000 And so I want to make sure like we're not always just just doing in the negativity, but there's some there's still some negativity here.

01:14:08.000 What happens on Facebook?

01:14:10.000 I saw a video go going viral today and it was like it was on Reddit.

01:14:14.000 And it was like, a cop kicks a man in the head, even though he's already subdued and is being arrested.

01:14:21.000 And it was true. 0.94

01:14:22.000 There's a video of a guy who's on the ground with his hands behind his back, the cop's cuffing him, and a cop runs up and just punts his head.

01:14:27.000 And I'm like, now why would that cop do that?

01:14:30.000 More importantly, I've seen this video a thousand times.

01:14:33.000 Because it gets recycled.

01:14:35.000 They put it up, it gets traffic, they put it up again.

01:14:38.000 This story, 84,000 views.

01:14:39.000 A cop lifted a vehicle to save a woman.

01:14:41.000 How many times is that going to get recycled?

01:14:43.000 It's not!

01:14:43.000 It only got 84,000 views.

01:14:45.000 I see this video on Reddit, it's got a million views.

01:14:47.000 In a week, it'll have a million views again.

01:14:48.000 In a month, it'll have a million views again because they keep sharing the same things over and over and over again.

01:14:51.000 The social media companies and search engines control what you see, and when you control the flow of information, you control what people think in certain regards.

01:15:02.000 And now people hate the police?

01:15:03.000 I mean, look, you look at the algorithms and what they've produced over the past 10 years, it sounds like Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg purposefully want to destroy this country.

01:15:11.000 They have driven people insane. 0.98

01:15:14.000 There are people who literally believe the cops go around hunting black people. 0.99

01:15:18.000 I know. 0.94

01:15:18.000 They actually believe them. 0.94

01:15:19.000 I know.

01:15:20.000 So PragerU, they send out Will Witt.

01:15:21.000 Will goes to like Venice Skate Park in California, you know, same skate park we were talking

01:15:25.000 about just a moment ago.

01:15:26.000 And he asks three young black men how many unarmed black men do they think had been killed

01:15:30.000 in the past year, and they're like, thousands.

01:15:32.000 It's like 19.

01:15:33.000 It's bad.

01:15:34.000 Like, 19 people.

01:15:35.000 But we're in a country of 320 million people.

01:15:37.000 What is it, 375 million police interactions.

01:15:40.000 19 of which resulted in unarmed black men being shot and killed.

01:15:45.000 And of those, some of them are actually justified.

01:15:48.000 In, like, a guy was trying to run someone over, so he's not armed, but he's using a car.

01:15:54.000 Or they're about to attack someone, or they're about to, like, grab someone by the throat and they're beating them or pummeling them.

01:15:59.000 Or sometimes it was a wrongful, you know, shooting.

01:16:03.000 In some circumstances.

01:16:04.000 They're all bad.

01:16:05.000 We don't want people to die.

01:16:06.000 Of course not, right.

01:16:06.000 But because of social media, because they weaponize this stuff, everyone goes insane.

01:16:11.000 And don't get me wrong, it goes the other direction, too.

01:16:13.000 What you see on the left today is, I think social media has helped form the culture war into factions of people who blindly just believe whatever the media says, no matter what, and the people who, for the most part, distrust the media, with a decent portion who distrust no matter what the media says, they'll distrust them.

01:16:32.000 So you end up with people who believe the earth is flat, Well, people believe in God.

01:16:36.000 these weird conspiracy theories about lizard people because they go online and they can

01:16:39.000 find this stuff and they believe it.

01:16:40.000 And I hear some of the craziest stuff when I when I read when I read the news.

01:16:44.000 But do those people have any institutional power?

01:16:46.000 The people who think the earth is flat?

01:16:48.000 Are they in Congress?

01:16:49.000 No.

01:16:50.000 Well, people believe in God. 0.98

01:16:51.000 I mean, that's almost as ridiculous. 0.95

01:16:52.000 No, absolutely not. 0.82

01:16:54.000 There's zero evidence ever.

01:16:56.000 I mean, you're going to ignite a whole other conversation.

01:16:59.000 It is.

01:17:00.000 But there's not zero evidence.

01:17:00.000 It's a big conversation.

01:17:03.000 The issue is, if you don't talk about theism and like religious text and doctrine, I'm not talking about that.

01:17:08.000 So I'm talking about people, you could literally climb a tower and measure the shadows and calculate the circumference of the planet like that dude Eratosthenes did in 1 BC.

01:17:18.000 Because you can disprove the earth is flat, it's different than God.

01:17:21.000 You can prove the earth is round.

01:17:23.000 Believing in God and faith-based things and, you know, having philosophy is an entirely different discussion.

01:17:23.000 Right.

01:17:28.000 Lizard people?

01:17:29.000 I mean, it's faith-based, there's no evidence.

01:17:33.000 Lizard people is dramatically different from believing in God, dude.

01:17:36.000 But it's dramatically similar.

01:17:38.000 No, it's not.

01:17:38.000 Yeah, there's just no evidence.

01:17:40.000 I don't want to deviate and derail the conversation.

01:17:45.000 You're confusing philosophical and theological conversations with text and fairy tales.

01:17:53.000 Well, there's text about the flat Earth.

01:17:54.000 That's where it comes from.

01:17:55.000 Yeah, but there's no scientific... Yeah, it was before science was invented.

01:17:59.000 People go online and they watch insane videos about insane things and they believe it.

01:18:03.000 They go online and they read books about, you know, they see things about critical race theory, it's insane, and they believe it.

01:18:08.000 And it's bad.

01:18:09.000 Zealotry and fundamentalism, all of these things are problems.

01:18:12.000 They exist.

01:18:13.000 So the problem is, we need critical thinking.

01:18:17.000 Instead, we get critical theory.

01:18:18.000 And then people just blindly follow and march off cliffs like lemmings. 1.00

01:18:21.000 Well, and it's not just social media, right?

01:18:25.000 Like much of the sort of propaganda that is pushed on people on social media is also taught in schools.

01:18:32.000 And so we're teaching our kids from a very young age in our public schools, like critical race theory, for example, that, you know, teaches kids to Dislike each other or think about each other based on the color of their skin.

01:18:46.000 Or hate their country.

01:18:47.000 Or hate their country.

01:18:48.000 Or think that America is fundamentally evil or bad.

01:18:52.000 And this is a problem.

01:18:55.000 And not only is it happening in our schools, now it's happening in our military.

01:18:58.000 There are ideological purity tests for people in the military.

01:19:01.000 Teaching critical race theory in the military.

01:19:03.000 And I'm telling you, Look, I got out.

01:19:05.000 I was medically retired in 2010, so it wasn't that long ago.

01:19:10.000 I mean, we're talking like 11 years ago, I got out.

01:19:12.000 This stuff was nowhere to be found in the military because it ain't about you, right?

01:19:18.000 In the military, one of the things they teach you at basic is that It's okay.

01:19:23.000 All of this, like, you know, it ain't about you anymore.

01:19:25.000 So we're going to shave your head.

01:19:27.000 We're going to put you in a uniform.

01:19:29.000 We're only as fast.

01:19:30.000 This team is only as fast as its slowest person.

01:19:33.000 We're all going to make our bed the same way.

01:19:34.000 Our lockers are all going to be the same way because what they're doing there is creating, they're whittling down the individual identity and they're creating a collective, right?

01:19:42.000 And that, and look past our differences, work together to fit, but that, but that, that, that is sounds a bit like what the critical theorists do.

01:19:49.000 But see, the difference is that the focus in critical race theory is only on our differences.

01:19:57.000 That's a fundamental difference.

01:19:59.000 And in the military, that can get you killed.

01:20:02.000 Because the goal of critical theory is to destroy.

01:20:04.000 It's to deconstruct.

01:20:06.000 Yes.

01:20:07.000 Look, I've known many of these people for a long time, and they have routinely expressed their desire is to destroy the system.

01:20:14.000 They just want to watch.

01:20:15.000 Some say, I just want to watch it burn.

01:20:17.000 Some say from the ashes of the old, we will build the new.

01:20:20.000 So critical theory is their means to an end.

01:20:20.000 That's the idea.

01:20:23.000 They think they will, they will deconstruct everything, make it impossible to have communications.

01:20:28.000 They will fracture any ability for a collective identity within the United States.

01:20:32.000 And after that it's rubble.

01:20:34.000 Then they'll come back with their, you know, whatever communism, socialism.

01:20:38.000 We were always taught growing up that the reason why America was such a wonderful player, part of the reason, was that we have people from all over the world that come here to live the American dream, be free, give a good life to their kids.

01:20:52.000 Why?

01:20:52.000 Because America is a melting pot.

01:20:54.000 Were you ever taught that as a kid?

01:20:54.000 Do you remember that?

01:20:55.000 Of course, the great American melting pot.

01:20:57.000 Well, America right now, it's a melting pot that's not melting.

01:20:57.000 Yes!

01:21:01.000 And that's a problem.

01:21:03.000 Critical theory is trying to re-emulsify the differences.

01:21:07.000 Whereas we used to believe that you throw everybody in the melting pot and you get a nice fondue with a bunch of different flavors, they're actually trying to reverse entropy to get the pepper jack back out of the fondue.

01:21:17.000 Did you just compare America and the American people to fondue?

01:21:20.000 I've never had fondue.

01:21:21.000 It's good.

01:21:23.000 It's a melting pot.

01:21:24.000 What is it?

01:21:25.000 It's melted cheese.

01:21:26.000 Talk about derailing the conversation.

01:21:27.000 I'm sorry, but I don't know what fondue is.

01:21:29.000 Fondue is a melting pot.

01:21:31.000 You get a little thing.

01:21:31.000 My diet.

01:21:32.000 You throw cheddar and you throw in Swiss and pepper jack and whatever.

01:21:36.000 And then you turn it on and it melts all of the cheeses together.

01:21:39.000 And then you dip stuff in the cheese.

01:21:40.000 It sounds like something that you would really like.

01:21:43.000 It's incredible.

01:21:44.000 We have one on the counter right now.

01:21:46.000 Of course you do.

01:21:47.000 Or you can take like oil, some garlic, some vinegar, soy sauce, and then boil it and put the meat in it.

01:21:52.000 It blends everything.

01:21:53.000 It's just a pot for you.

01:21:54.000 This sounds a little adventurous to me.

01:21:55.000 Like, if I go to a restaurant, you give me dino chicken nuggets, some tater tots, I am good.

01:22:00.000 I eat like a two-year-old.

01:22:02.000 The Great American Melting Pot.

01:22:04.000 I don't know how we're here.

01:22:05.000 I don't know how we got here.

01:22:06.000 Listen, listen.

01:22:07.000 The Great American Melting Pot, right?

01:22:09.000 You get some chihuahua cheese from Mexico, you get some American cheese from America, you get some good Dubliner from Ireland.

01:22:17.000 I think it's from Ireland.

01:22:18.000 And then you throw it all in a pot and it all melts together.

01:22:22.000 And we're like, this is some great cheese.

01:22:24.000 What is it?

01:22:24.000 I just mixed a bunch of stuff together.

01:22:26.000 I do it all the time.

01:22:27.000 I take like Colby Jack and Pepper Jack and Swiss and Havarti and I just blend it up and I make nachos.

01:22:32.000 And I'm like, isn't it amazing that you can get this great blend of cheeses?

01:22:35.000 You ever have four cheese pizza?

01:22:38.000 What, like DiGiorno?

01:22:39.000 You go you're like I'll take the four cheese. Of course now imagine if you're hanging out with someone

01:22:39.000 Of course!

01:22:43.000 They were like, can I take the ricotta out of this?

01:22:46.000 Ricotta out of this pizza and you're like, dude, it's all blended together

01:22:48.000 Yeah, I know but we should remove it Yeah, at some point like that's critical theory or I only

01:22:53.000 want to eat the I only want to eat that little bit Yeah, yeah. No, the rest is wasted after after you only

01:22:59.000 yeah mozzarella supremacy needs to end Our pizzas should have different cheeses. 0.83

01:23:03.000 So get the mozzarella out, you're like, but we melted it all together.

01:23:06.000 Well, in the future, let's actually put blocks so that your pizza is actually... I mean, what you're saying is accurate.

01:23:11.000 I mean, they're actually, like in certain colleges, they're having Graduation, I mean, this is like this is not progressive

01:23:18.000 This this is like to be a progressive in today's day and age is actually to be a regressive like they're going

01:23:24.000 backwards in time With this stuff, but they love using language. That's why

01:23:28.000 so I see on Twitter. They're like, oh, right Right a critical race theory is diversity and inclusion

01:23:33.000 There's a reason there's a reason why they say diversity inclusivity and equity

01:23:37.000 Are you gonna yeah, tell me right Diversity, inclusivity, and equity.

01:23:43.000 These are the things they're calling for.

01:23:47.000 do that. I just I didn't even realize it. Diversity, inclusivity and equity.

01:23:51.000 These are the things they're they're calling for. They're literally saying

01:23:54.000 die. I don't know why they do that. Well, I mean, they do use they like they

01:24:01.000 do control. The left does an extraordinary job at controlling the

01:24:06.000 language. Right. And that's what that's what we're talking about now. Like

01:24:11.000 critical race theory is is inherently bad for the country.

01:24:14.000 As we mentioned, They literally create diversity, inclusivity, and equity positions.

01:24:25.000 Could you imagine someone hiring a special person in a company and they say, this is our dye manager.

01:24:32.000 Dye.

01:24:33.000 And it's like, it's a little weird.

01:24:36.000 Yeah, well hopefully they don't use the acronym or come up with something different or reshuffle the words.

01:24:40.000 But it's almost like they're laughing in our faces.

01:24:43.000 Why are companies hiring diversity officers?

01:24:47.000 What does that mean?

01:24:48.000 It doesn't mean anything!

01:24:50.000 It's basically, in communist China, companies have to have the communist party member.

01:24:57.000 In the United States, they're just getting these companies to create an ideological, dogmatic job that makes no sense other than to indoctrinate the employees.

01:25:07.000 What I'll say is that, you know, specifically in the context of the military, because I've been speaking out about this, but diversity is a good thing.

01:25:16.000 Like in my platoon, we were very diverse.

01:25:18.000 And because we were very diverse, we had a multitude of ideas that were brought to the table all the time.

01:25:22.000 But you have to take diversity I don't want to say it's meaningless, but you have to have unity beyond the diversity in order for it all to work, right?

01:25:34.000 Yeah, I think diversity is a result of empowering individuals with opportunity.

01:25:38.000 The diversity then comes from that.

01:25:40.000 You can't force.

01:25:41.000 I mean, if you force superficial diversity, you're going to end up with homogeneity.

01:25:46.000 homogeneity that's it yeah and that's what we're seeing that's why they call it critical race theory it's got a term that well it's critical critical theory so one of the other mistakes people make is they say critical race theory and they cut out the rest of it it's like no it's critical theory in general yeah there's this critical gender theory there's critical literature and i Of course!

01:26:02.000 Of course!

01:26:03.000 literature theory. And I would say that true diversity is actually a huge strength because it brings people together.

01:26:03.000 It's great!

01:26:09.000 You're capitalizing on the things that make them different. Yeah,

01:26:11.000 that bring those good strong components to your team. Of

01:26:14.000 course, for example, in your platoon that you're leading, you

01:26:18.000 need all these people with different strengths. Of course, actual diversity is pivotal. It's great. Exactly. Yeah. But

01:26:24.000 you're unified. Right.

01:26:25.000 Right.

01:26:26.000 You're unified.

01:26:26.000 Yes, we're all different.

01:26:27.000 But that's part of what makes America great.

01:26:29.000 Yes, we're all different.

01:26:30.000 But we bring aspects of our culture that we love and we're proud of and we integrate into American society.

01:26:35.000 And then we share those blessings with other people.

01:26:38.000 Right.

01:26:39.000 Like that's what makes this country great.

01:26:40.000 That's why people risk their lives to come here from Cuba and shark infested waters. 1.00

01:26:46.000 They don't come here because they believe America is fundamentally evil.

01:26:49.000 They come here because they believe America is free and their kids can have a better life than them.

01:26:54.000 But the radical left does not believe that.

01:26:58.000 They're taking this country back in the wrong direction and we have to stop them.

01:27:03.000 We have to stop them.

01:27:04.000 This guy just won by 30 points in Philadelphia in a primary in a primary.

01:27:09.000 Yeah.

01:27:10.000 But where are the Democrats to be like, yo, this is bad.

01:27:13.000 No, they're going in that direction.

01:27:14.000 I think I think that most of the leadership and I can't speak for people.

01:27:19.000 But I would assume that most of the leadership in the Democrat Party knows that this ain't good.

01:27:19.000 Right.

01:27:27.000 It's not good for them.

01:27:28.000 They can't do anything about it.

01:27:29.000 I hope not.

01:27:30.000 You were talking about how the left controls language.

01:27:33.000 And I was just looking up who owns Merriam-Webster.

01:27:36.000 It's owned, which is the dictionary, it's owned by Encyclopedia Britannica Incorporated, which is owned by Jacques Safra.

01:27:41.000 I don't know who he is, but he's a millionaire Brazilian investor from Geneva.

01:27:45.000 Huh.

01:27:45.000 Descendant of Syrian, Lebanese, Swiss, Jewish Safra banking family.

01:27:49.000 This guy's basically overseeing the definitions of the words.

01:27:52.000 Dictionary.com is woke.

01:27:54.000 Yeah.

01:27:55.000 Yeah, they're super woke.

01:27:57.000 So they have recursive definitions.

01:28:00.000 Which definition was it that became recursive?

01:28:04.000 Was it gender or something?

01:28:05.000 Yeah, something like that.

01:28:07.000 So they ended up... I can't remember what word it was, but dictionary.com created a definition of a word that included its own word in its definition, which becomes recursive.

01:28:16.000 So it just basically you can't define a word by itself, but they did anyway because it's wokeness.

01:28:22.000 It's meaningless.

01:28:23.000 Like we're offloading the responsibility of creating the definition of words to corporations and individuals that have political leanings that own the corporations.

01:28:34.000 That's insane.

01:28:35.000 How do we create like a decentralized definition, a system of definitions?

01:28:39.000 There's Wiktionary.

01:28:41.000 But here's the problem, man.

01:28:44.000 The left is on the assault and the conservatives are sitting back with their feet up.

01:28:47.000 No, that's right.

01:28:48.000 Well, I mean, or or just conservatives in general are on the defensives.

01:28:51.000 And to your point, right, never going on one of the one of the number one things.

01:28:57.000 And this is reflected in polling, right, that that conservative or Republican voters want in a candidate is someone who's willing to fight and not back down.

01:29:06.000 It's one of the top issues.

01:29:08.000 And You know, that's what people have in me, that's for sure.

01:29:12.000 But I think it's also, again, you just can't back down.

01:29:15.000 You know what I, you know what I want?

01:29:16.000 I want a Republican candidate who is going to vow to create universal gun ownership.

01:29:23.000 Like, like, you know, open carry?

01:29:25.000 No, no, universal gun ownership, meaning... Oh, just mandate it, mandate it. 0.95

01:29:29.000 So you want the government to force people to have guns?

01:29:32.000 Yes.

01:29:34.000 I don't like the government being involved in anything.

01:29:34.000 I don't know.

01:29:35.000 See, here's the issue.

01:29:37.000 The left comes out and says, and this is, you know, shout out to Michael Malice.

01:29:40.000 The left comes out and says, we want universal health here.

01:29:43.000 We want the government to ban private health insurance, take it all away from you, and

01:29:48.000 then run it themselves.

01:29:49.000 That's Bernie Sanders' plan.

01:29:51.000 The Republicans say, no, wait, don't.

01:29:53.000 The Democrats say, we want to take all your guns away.

01:29:56.000 The Republicans say, no, wait, don't.

01:29:58.000 Where's the Republican to say, I demand the government buy everyone a gun right now.

01:30:02.000 So how about not mandatory, but the government is obligated to give every citizen a gun.

01:30:07.000 At the age of 16, you'll go to the Department of Gun Services.

01:30:10.000 You'll fill out the basic knowledge test.

01:30:13.000 Wait, the Department of Gun Services?

01:30:15.000 So now we're growing the government?

01:30:17.000 Yes.

01:30:17.000 Now there's a new branch?

01:30:20.000 So it's like a DMV called the DGS.

01:30:22.000 You go in, and if you want your free government-issued gun, it'd probably be crappy, mind you.

01:30:27.000 Yes, of course.

01:30:28.000 But you get a rifle and a handgun and a box of ammo for each.

01:30:31.000 You'll fill out a form, you know, basic questions, gun safety.

01:30:35.000 Then they'll take you to the range, you'll do your standard shooting test, and then they'll hand you your two weapons and say, have a nice day, sir.

01:30:42.000 The Republicans don't do things like that, and I get it.

01:30:44.000 They're like, we don't want more government to do these things.

01:30:46.000 Well, if the only thing the Republicans are ever going to do is say, no, wait, don't, then the Democrats will keep winning because the Democrats are offering things to people.

01:30:54.000 This is what I was saying.

01:30:55.000 You have to be able to articulate.

01:30:58.000 So when Republicans say, I want low taxes and a strong economy, but you have to be able to as a candidate to explain to people why that matters in their life.

01:31:05.000 Right.

01:31:06.000 You know, like we want our economy to be strong.

01:31:09.000 We want there to be jobs.

01:31:10.000 Like we want when kids graduate from school.

01:31:10.000 Right.

01:31:14.000 There's a reason why there's a census population decrease in Pennsylvania.

01:31:17.000 We're losing a congressional district because people are moving away.

01:31:20.000 Because we don't have the economic diversity to sustain The jobs that kids would want to get when they graduate from school.

01:31:20.000 Why?

01:31:26.000 We want that talent here, right?

01:31:29.000 I got an idea for the Republican Party.

01:31:31.000 Is it another gun department?

01:31:33.000 No, no, no, no.

01:31:34.000 If you don't want to expand government, it's simple.

01:31:37.000 Will the Republicans repeal the NFA?

01:31:43.000 What do you mean?

01:31:44.000 The National Firearms Act.

01:31:46.000 So it bans a whole bunch of guns.

01:31:49.000 Assault rifles have been banned since going back to the 20s when the NFA was passed.

01:31:52.000 Selective fire rifles can't be owned by civilians.

01:31:54.000 Not that I think anybody tactically would want one, but it's very difficult to get.

01:31:58.000 You have to go through the— Like an automatic.

01:32:00.000 Yeah, so automatic suppressors or even short-barreled rifles or putting a stock on a pistol.

01:32:07.000 You can't do these things.

01:32:09.000 The Republicans often say, no, wait, don't, while the Democrats say, gimme, gimme, gimme.

01:32:13.000 And so, okay, if the Republicans don't want to increase the size of government, how about harsh decrease in size of government?

01:32:21.000 How about repealing federal gun laws?

01:32:25.000 Well, I mean, I would I would not start there.

01:32:27.000 I would start with the Department of Education.

01:32:30.000 I agree.

01:32:33.000 I think we start there.

01:32:34.000 I would also then go to the IRS.

01:32:37.000 Yeah.

01:32:38.000 The tax code is longer than the Bible and there's not a single good word in it.

01:32:41.000 Right.

01:32:42.000 So we need to simplify it.

01:32:43.000 Simplify the facts.

01:32:45.000 When I say that we need to shrink the size and scope of the federal government, this is what I mean, right?

01:32:49.000 Like, education should not be something that's handled at the federal level.

01:32:53.000 Education is local, right?

01:32:55.000 Every local community is different, and every local community is uniquely equipped to handle the education needs of their communities and their children, right?

01:33:03.000 So I would start at the Department of Education, then I'd move to the IRS, and I would just continue down the line.

01:33:09.000 Department of Education, I agree with.

01:33:11.000 Yes.

01:33:12.000 You don't agree with the IRS?

01:33:13.000 Oh, no, I do.

01:33:14.000 I do.

01:33:14.000 I'm saying starting with the Department of Education.

01:33:16.000 Oh, starting there.

01:33:17.000 Starting with gun laws is more bombastic.

01:33:20.000 It's more like meant to be like, ah, you know, we're going to do something.

01:33:22.000 You want something?

01:33:23.000 Yeah, you're doing what the left would do.

01:33:26.000 They just go big, bold, right in your face.

01:33:28.000 Right, right, no, net capacity, yes.

01:33:31.000 But I'm not, so they're restrictive.

01:33:33.000 The banning of private healthcare I think is insane.

01:33:35.000 If you want private healthcare, you can have it. 0.96

01:33:36.000 I think a lot of these companies are bad and they suck, but hey, it's your choice, right? 0.60

01:33:39.000 So that's why I've been like, eh, public option, how about that? 0.98

01:33:42.000 You want the government to do it, you can pay for that.

01:33:43.000 If you want the private company to do it, you pay for that.

01:33:45.000 Most of these companies, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, most countries do not abolish private health insurance.

01:33:51.000 Bernie Sanders is extremely radical on this.

01:33:54.000 So I'm like, OK, what's what's the what's one of the most radical things a Republican could do in terms of limiting government and giving back people their rights is repealing laws.

01:34:01.000 Just start repealing these ridiculous laws. 0.93

01:34:03.000 I mean, maybe you should. 0.71

01:34:04.000 I think you've got a platform, I think.

01:34:07.000 Oh, if I had a platform, it would be nuts.

01:34:09.000 And I don't think I think you have.

01:34:10.000 I think you have a you have a plot.

01:34:12.000 I'd be like, OK, first and foremost, we'd legal immediately.

01:34:16.000 No more schedule of any of that stuff.

01:34:18.000 And a full pardon and wait of just of just of no more schedule of any drugs or just weed weed.

01:34:25.000 However, in terms of the war on drugs in general, we've got to stop all that.

01:34:28.000 We've got to figure something else out.

01:34:29.000 It's not working.

01:34:30.000 So if the goal is to get people to not do drugs, we need to do something radically different.

01:34:34.000 Now, I would not immediately do a dramatic policy and just get rid of all the schedules, because you don't want to flip the boat over because you've got a problem with the boat.

01:34:44.000 You want to go through it and take notes of things and come up with a plan.

01:34:47.000 Of course.

01:34:48.000 You want to be deliberate.

01:34:49.000 Right, exactly.

01:34:50.000 And a lot of what we see from the left is like, Overhaul the system now, and you're like, I'd rather not burn it down because we're upset with it.

01:34:56.000 We might have to take our time, and it might be boring, and it might suck, but let's chill a little bit.

01:35:01.000 But I'm very much opposed to the war on drugs.

01:35:04.000 I think the Constitution needs to be reaffirmed dramatically.

01:35:10.000 Like, the rights of the Constitution need to be... We need to sort through that.

01:35:14.000 Someone asked me a question today, like, if you win, what's the criteria you're going to look at when confirming judges, right?

01:35:24.000 If you're voting to confirm a justice on the Supreme Court.

01:35:27.000 And to me it's, well, for one, let's make sure that whoever that person is Exactly.

01:35:33.000 adheres to the Constitution and believes it as it's written.

01:35:37.000 That matters.

01:35:38.000 And in many ways, especially what you saw in the wake of the 2020 election,

01:35:43.000 even with unilateral changes to election law, unconstitutional changes to election law,

01:35:47.000 the question is, does the Constitution matter anymore or not?

01:35:51.000 It does to me.

01:35:53.000 And you know, and you're looking at it.

01:35:54.000 You know what I would consider doing?

01:35:56.000 And it wasn't just the DA's race.

01:35:57.000 It was judges, right?

01:35:58.000 You know, Republicans, Republicans got strong judge candidates in every level now, because I think we realize

01:36:04.000 the importance of how of, of, of, of electing good judges,

01:36:07.000 right?

01:36:08.000 We elect judges in Pennsylvania, which, which, uh, I got an idea.

01:36:12.000 You know what, you know what I would consider doing running for

01:36:15.000 office as a Republican with some very serious proposals to force

01:36:19.000 the Republican candidate to move.

01:36:20.000 So I'd be alive to move to the right, to move to the right, not

01:36:23.000 necessarily to the right.

01:36:24.000 I just move in general in different areas.

01:36:26.000 So I don't, I don't know if, um, legal, total decriminalization of marijuana is a conservative position, but I think it

01:36:34.000 would force the Republican candidate to adopt a more modern

01:36:37.000 position, whatever it may be, or at least clarify and stick a stance

01:36:40.000 on it.

01:36:42.000 Gun rights, I think, Republicans would overwhelmingly just outright favor.

01:36:46.000 If I said, I want to repeal the overwhelming majority of federal gun laws, and I want to establish, like, strict rights for what it means to keep and bear arms, codified, you can, you know, like, legal concealed carry across the board, I guess you run into a problem with states' rights and that, but get rid of the federal laws at least.

01:37:05.000 And then what happens is, I just say like a whole bunch of things where I'm like, here's what needs to happen.

01:37:08.000 I think there's a case to be made for a federal carry law.

01:37:12.000 But the states have a right to control themselves.

01:37:15.000 Of course, to control their own gun laws. 0.60

01:37:19.000 And then if they violate the rights, it doesn't make a difference.

01:37:21.000 I do support a constitutional carry provision.

01:37:25.000 I do think there's some wisdom in being able to carry across state lines and not be thrown in jail for it, I think.

01:37:30.000 Federally, you can.

01:37:33.000 They protect you, but the states don't care.

01:37:35.000 That's the problem.

01:37:36.000 So that's actually the limit on the federal government.

01:37:39.000 It's not all bad. 0.88

01:37:40.000 I just think it's problematic that, you know, the ATF can, like, shoot a lady and kill her kid and burn down a house with a bunch of kids in it, you know what I mean?

01:37:47.000 And then they celebrate this every year on Twitter. 0.99

01:37:49.000 Yeah, those people are kind of nuts.

01:37:50.000 So maybe the left... Where are they at? 1.00

01:37:53.000 They want to abolish the police?

01:37:54.000 Can we start with, like, I don't know, the ATF or something?

01:37:56.000 Yes.

01:37:58.000 Yeah, so local cops, OK, we'll deal with that.

01:38:02.000 But they want to abolish the DHS.

01:38:03.000 I'm like, OK, well, let's let's get the conversation going.

01:38:05.000 What if when you cross state borders, you got a text that showed you that sent you a link to all the laws that are different between this state and the state that you just came from?

01:38:16.000 Because people don't know the difference in the laws.

01:38:18.000 That's a big problem.

01:38:19.000 Man, we are solving the problems of the world, right?

01:38:21.000 That's right.

01:38:22.000 If only people listened to us, you know?

01:38:24.000 If only people were watching this.

01:38:26.000 I know, right?

01:38:26.000 How about we see what the people have to say in the Super Chats.

01:38:29.000 If you have not done so already, please help us out with a like by tapping that like button ever so gently.

01:38:36.000 Super Chats. 0.91

01:38:37.000 And it is greatly appreciated.

01:38:38.000 And share the show if you like it.

01:38:39.000 But also go to timcast.com and become a member.

01:38:42.000 We'll have a bonus segment coming up later tonight.

01:38:44.000 Let's read some Super Chats. 0.87

01:38:45.000 I'm sorry, good sir, with the first of which I can't read your name because YouTube has blocked it, but they said, hey, Tim and gang, thoughts on YouTubers running for office?

01:38:52.000 Many say they feel they're making more of a difference with what they do, but they have the support to get elected in a way others don't.

01:39:00.000 Maybe.

01:39:00.000 I wonder what the laws are with like, let's say I decided to run for office and actually won.

01:39:05.000 Like, would I be able to do this?

01:39:07.000 I don't think so.

01:39:08.000 Yeah, no, I think you would.

01:39:09.000 I mean, Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz has a podcast.

01:39:12.000 Yeah, Michael Knowles.

01:39:12.000 I wonder how much time is consumed.

01:39:15.000 I mean this is more effective than fundraising.

01:39:17.000 Senator Cruz is a United States Senator and he still manages to do a podcast.

01:39:20.000 So I don't know.

01:39:21.000 I think you could still do it.

01:39:22.000 I know you work.

01:39:23.000 I know you're like.

01:39:24.000 Three hours a day.

01:39:25.000 I know you work.

01:39:26.000 I was recording with like five to eight hours of research.

01:39:28.000 Yeah.

01:39:29.000 So I mean maybe.

01:39:30.000 Thank you.

01:39:31.000 That'd be great.

01:39:32.000 I'd be like, I would probably not be allowed access to any kind of private information, because I just, I'm not going to lie to people.

01:39:41.000 You know, it's interesting.

01:39:44.000 You ever see or read Watchmen?

01:39:46.000 Oh, yeah, of course, of course.

01:39:48.000 Rorschach at the end, you know, Veith has basically tricked the people into ending the Cold War.

01:39:55.000 And Rorschach's opinion is, no, the people have a right to know what happened.

01:39:59.000 And I agree.

01:40:00.000 And then there's I wouldn't say I'm as morally absolutist as he is in that position.

01:40:05.000 He would rather let the world destroy itself.

01:40:07.000 What's the blue dude's name?

01:40:09.000 Dr. Manhattan.

01:40:10.000 Dr. Manhattan just blows him up.

01:40:12.000 It's amazing.

01:40:13.000 It's great writing.

01:40:14.000 So Rorschach, the character, says that the people deserve to know the truth because it was a false flag attack that unified, you know, the United States.

01:40:21.000 I think that people have a right to know.

01:40:22.000 I don't think, you know, you get like the New York Times saying, don't tell people about the gas shortage because they'll panic.

01:40:28.000 My attitude is that people have a right to know what's happening.

01:40:30.000 Well, that was sort of like Dr. Fauci early on in the pandemic saying, don't wear masks, right?

01:40:36.000 You don't need masks.

01:40:37.000 He was doing that.

01:40:38.000 It's kind of like military command.

01:40:40.000 You can probably speak to this.

01:40:41.000 You don't want to panic the troops.

01:40:43.000 So they're on a need-to-know basis.

01:40:45.000 And as the commander-in-chief of the military, you're kind of in a similar position.

01:40:49.000 You don't want to alarm the populace if you don't need to.

01:40:51.000 I'm much more libertarian.

01:40:54.000 I think people have a right to know.

01:40:55.000 I mean, I'm libertarian in some ways as well, but not in this one.

01:41:02.000 I think that there are national security issues that aren't for public consumption.

01:41:07.000 There just are.

01:41:08.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:41:09.000 We got Lethal Blade says, Hey Tim, you should have on guns and gadgets if you want to talk gun laws and what is coming down the pipe.

01:41:14.000 And if you want to talk commie guns and having fun with guns, you should have on Brandon Herrera, AKA the AK guy.

01:41:20.000 He owns and operates an AK factory in the US.

01:41:23.000 Oh, cool.

01:41:24.000 Hmm.

01:41:24.000 There you go.

01:41:26.000 Eric, uh, I'm sorry, Trashpanda says, Tim, 2018, you know, I think we can have some sensible gun control. 0.52

01:41:31.000 Tim, 2021, free AK-47s for everyone.

01:41:34.000 Yes.

01:41:35.000 I think that's accurate.

01:41:37.000 I love it.

01:41:39.000 Also, kudos for the name, Trashpanda.

01:41:41.000 Trashpanda.

01:41:42.000 Eric Aces, glad to see Sean Parnell back.

01:41:44.000 Please invite Madison Cawthorn on as well.

01:41:47.000 You know what the problem is with inviting politicians?

01:41:49.000 They always say the same thing.

01:41:51.000 They say, I'd love to come on the show.

01:41:53.000 Email this person and we'll get it sorted.

01:41:55.000 And then we email the person and they just never respond.

01:41:57.000 Wait a second.

01:41:58.000 Are you classifying me as a politician because I'm going to throw up in my mouth?

01:42:02.000 You're sitting here.

01:42:03.000 I'm saying when we when we hit up politicians, they're always like, yes, we want to come on the show.

01:42:07.000 And then they just they email this person.

01:42:09.000 Nothing happens.

01:42:10.000 Yeah.

01:42:11.000 You've been here a lot.

01:42:11.000 You're actually here.

01:42:12.000 A lot.

01:42:13.000 Yeah, I'm not.

01:42:13.000 I'm not.

01:42:14.000 I'm not afraid of conversations.

01:42:15.000 You know, here's what I here's what I understand.

01:42:18.000 The left is if there's the left weaponizes anything they can get against you, right?

01:42:22.000 And if they have nothing, they make things up.

01:42:24.000 So you might as well just get out there.

01:42:25.000 All right.

01:42:25.000 Yeah.

01:42:26.000 Evil zombie hamster says check out 3D printed arms for chickens.

01:42:30.000 Chicken City could have chickens with Hulk arms running around. 0.99

01:42:32.000 Oh, Chicken City.

01:42:33.000 This is your thing now, right?

01:42:35.000 I see you post on Instagram about Chicken City.

01:42:37.000 Tell me.

01:42:38.000 We're going to put it.

01:42:39.000 We got the chicken coop outside.

01:42:40.000 It's got little houses in it.

01:42:40.000 I saw that.

01:42:42.000 And we're going to put cameras in it, and then we're going to create a 24-7 livestream of the Chicken City.

01:42:48.000 Chicken City reminds me of Tube City, like in the office where Michael Scott makes Tube City for gerbils.

01:42:53.000 Remember that?

01:42:54.000 There you go.

01:42:55.000 And so what I want to do, and I don't know how we'll do it, I want to create a system where every $50 that comes in in Super Chats, it causes a cricket dispenser to drop some crickets.

01:43:04.000 Oh yeah.

01:43:05.000 And then the chickens run over.

01:43:07.000 This is why business is booming here at TimCast.

01:43:10.000 It's these innovative things.

01:43:14.000 Basically what you're doing is creating a reality TV show for Chicken City.

01:43:18.000 And they all have names.

01:43:18.000 That's right.

01:43:19.000 It could be a video game.

01:43:21.000 They all have names.

01:43:21.000 Hold on.

01:43:23.000 They all have names.

01:43:24.000 I thought I was the only one.

01:43:25.000 Here I was thinking I was creative.

01:43:26.000 You're pushing it.

01:43:27.000 They all have names.

01:43:29.000 They all have names.

01:43:29.000 They do, yes.

01:43:30.000 They do.

01:43:31.000 And we'll create shirts and then people will join teams.

01:43:35.000 So there's like Vanessa, there's Roberta, there's Sarah.

01:43:35.000 Yeah.

01:43:38.000 Oh, you name them?

01:43:39.000 Yeah.

01:43:39.000 I named them all.

01:43:40.000 They all have names.

01:43:41.000 And so we're going to, we're going to, we're going to explain the names and like, and then there's going to be drama and it's going to be, you know, you'll see them fighting.

01:43:50.000 Vanessa has quite a character.

01:43:52.000 We're going to do like a bachelor thing because we're going to get a rooster and then it's going to be like, which one will the rooster choose? 0.97

01:43:59.000 All of them because it's a rooster.

01:44:02.000 That'll be good.

01:44:03.000 That'll be great.

01:44:04.000 We'll give them 3D printed arms.

01:44:05.000 You know what I want to do?

01:44:06.000 I was wondering if like, if, if, if, is it possible?

01:44:11.000 Is it, is it the muscle strength of the chicken causing it not to be able to fly?

01:44:15.000 And if there was a way we could do some kind of like carbon fiber mesh to expand their wings and give them- Like Falcon?

01:44:22.000 Yeah, give a chicken a little falcon suit like in the Avengers.

01:44:26.000 Yeah, I think it's their weight.

01:44:26.000 Yeah.

01:44:27.000 Would it also come equipped with little drones?

01:44:29.000 That would be fun.

01:44:31.000 Maybe we need... And goggles.

01:44:32.000 I know we could do.

01:44:33.000 Hold on.

01:44:34.000 What if we created a 3D printed harness and we attached enough balloons to it to reduce the weight of a chicken so that it can fly properly?

01:44:44.000 Oh, just heavy enough.

01:44:46.000 So it's flying.

01:44:48.000 Pokemon did that with Pikachu.

01:44:50.000 I know this because my son... I think the balloon thing would work.

01:44:53.000 You don't put enough on it to where it can just drift off and, you know, it's gone.

01:44:57.000 You just put enough on to where it's weighted down, but it can jump, like, way higher.

01:45:02.000 What do you think the chicken would do?

01:45:04.000 Freak out.

01:45:05.000 No, I think it would just float around and, like, go home.

01:45:08.000 Maybe we start with only like one.

01:45:09.000 If I drive up to this place for a podcast and I see chickens floating around your house with balloons, I'm out of here.

01:45:15.000 They're going into space.

01:45:16.000 I'm out of here, man.

01:45:17.000 But I want to, we don't want to stress the chickens.

01:45:19.000 Like, I love your show, but that would be, that would be like some Silent Hill, some stuff, you know what I mean?

01:45:24.000 I did want to make 3D printed armor for them though, so that it can't be killed by predators.

01:45:28.000 Yes.

01:45:30.000 Like a spike plate back armor.

01:45:32.000 I thought about electrical stimulation to stimulate the muscles so they can carry the weight.

01:45:36.000 But then I was thinking you can't be hard on the chicken.

01:45:38.000 You gotta be good to the chickens.

01:45:39.000 You guys have put a lot of thought into how to supercharge these chickens.

01:45:45.000 What you're basically doing is trying to give super soldier serum or something like that into a chicken Iron Man suit.

01:45:50.000 Yeah, like an Iron Man suit for the chickens.

01:45:52.000 I'm open. I was actually trying to figure out how to create a flight suit for the for bucko. He's a cat

01:45:56.000 He needs one. So the idea would be that when he jumps right they put their feet out and that would release

01:46:02.000 carbon fiber and mesh wings and The tail fin so that it would glide and then he wouldn't

01:46:07.000 build fly but he built a jump and glide and then land You know, that's like the apex predator

01:46:11.000 Could you imagine like, you're like a, you're like a shrew or something and you see a cat and you're like, I'll be all right.

01:46:17.000 I'll get up here.

01:46:18.000 And then the cat just glides across and like lands.

01:46:20.000 And you're like, what's happening?

01:46:22.000 Just terrorizing all the small woodland creatures.

01:46:24.000 Even more than he already does.

01:46:25.000 Yeah.

01:46:26.000 How would he retract his carbon fiber wings?

01:46:28.000 When his arms go down, they fold back in because it would be like on a string that pulls the gears.

01:46:33.000 You ever see those Boston Dynamic videos?

01:46:36.000 Yeah.

01:46:36.000 They're like robot dogs and they're really super creepy and definitely scary.

01:46:40.000 What you're doing is like creating animal cyborgs.

01:46:44.000 Mm-hmm.

01:46:45.000 Yeah.

01:46:45.000 That's terrifying.

01:46:46.000 That sounds great.

01:46:46.000 Yeah.

01:46:47.000 I think they'd be into it.

01:46:48.000 Wouldn't you be excited if you had a suit where when you jumped like Batman cape like glided you down?

01:46:53.000 If I had a bat, I mean, yeah, if I had a Batman suit it would be amazing.

01:46:56.000 So how do you think the Like a real Batman suit with a real utility belt.

01:47:00.000 Not something you buy at a Halloween store.

01:47:02.000 It has to actually work.

01:47:03.000 You know how Batman jumps off the building and his cape goes rigid and he glides?

01:47:09.000 Memory cloth.

01:47:10.000 Right, exactly.

01:47:10.000 How do you think the cat's going to feel when the bird is looking at him and then jumps over?

01:47:15.000 I don't know how the cat's going to feel because the cat can't speak English.

01:47:18.000 He's gonna be so excited!

01:47:18.000 I guarantee you that cat is gonna look terrified.

01:47:21.000 There's gonna be a pigeon or something, and it's gonna be up on like the deck, and Bucko's gonna walk up to it, and it's gonna jump over to the other deck, and then it's gonna be like, I'm alright, and it's just gonna fly across, and it's gonna be like, WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

01:47:32.000 The cat's flying!

01:47:33.000 It's like the German Blitzkrieg. 0.75

01:47:35.000 No one saw it coming.

01:47:37.000 Spanish Inquisition.

01:47:38.000 Those tanks were fast.

01:47:39.000 God, you guys, you guys, you know, you went from a standard podcast just four episodes ago to now creating cyborg chickens and cats.

01:47:49.000 I have no idea what's coming.

01:47:50.000 I don't.

01:47:50.000 I mean, I don't.

01:47:52.000 Chicken City is going to start up as people are going to watch a live stream of chickens.

01:47:58.000 And then what we're going to do is I'm trying to hire a composer to make me like beats.

01:48:02.000 And then eventually we'll create a channel.

01:48:04.000 We'll create a stream that's lo-fi hip hop beats to watch Chicken City to.

01:48:08.000 So now when people are like studying or whatever, there's like chickens.

01:48:11.000 Do you know what Chicken City reminds me of?

01:48:13.000 It reminds me, remember, remember when, when the left bought for that fake, the left, left media bought the fake story that President Trump did nothing but watch Gorilla TV?

01:48:21.000 Gorilla Channel.

01:48:23.000 I mean, I heard that and I thought like, Well, that would kind of be a good channel.

01:48:27.000 I think I would kind of watch that with just gorillas fighting. 1.00

01:48:31.000 It's like if they totally wrote a story as if it were real.

01:48:34.000 Do you remember that?

01:48:35.000 No.

01:48:36.000 We got to read a couple more.

01:48:36.000 We got a little derailed there.

01:48:37.000 All right.

01:48:38.000 Sorry.

01:48:40.000 Let's see.

01:48:41.000 Jordan says, happy 1 million Timcast IRL subscribers, Tim.

01:48:44.000 And we did just get the gold award.

01:48:47.000 It just came in the mail today.

01:48:48.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:48.000 We got to put it up.

01:48:49.000 Matthew Sage said, happily back and donate to Sean Parnell.

01:48:52.000 Any website, etc.

01:48:53.000 to help raise money.

01:48:55.000 I'm a state over, but we need level-headed and sane politicians all over.

01:48:58.000 That means, I mean, if every one of your subscribers gave a buck, that's a, I mean, that's a big deal.

01:49:04.000 Every subscriber.

01:49:05.000 I mean, well, not every subscriber watches every video.

01:49:07.000 So that's right.

01:49:08.000 That's right.

01:49:09.000 Yeah.

01:49:09.000 All of everyone never does anything.

01:49:12.000 Yeah.

01:49:12.000 Right.

01:49:13.000 So, but it's still, it's still a profound impact, man.

01:49:15.000 It's still a big impact.

01:49:17.000 I think that's really smart.

01:49:18.000 I think it's really smart.

01:49:19.000 Remember that Jim Banks letter I told you about?

01:49:21.000 That's sort of like in this vein, but it just, yeah, I think that's a good idea.

01:49:22.000 Do you think we could have another contract with America that would allow populist candidates

01:49:26.000 to focus on certain topics and elections and goals when elected?

01:49:29.000 I would recommend getting with Jack Murphy and Billy Prempeh to develop it.

01:49:33.000 I think that's really smart.

01:49:35.000 I think I think it's really smart.

01:49:37.000 And this is remember that Jim Banks letter I told you about that sort of like in this

01:49:41.000 vein.

01:49:42.000 But it just yeah I think that's a good idea.

01:49:44.000 I think that's a really good idea.

01:49:47.000 All right, Juan Martinez says, Hi Tim, following your lead in making culture, please check my first children's book, Tickled by the Travel Bug on Kickstarter.

01:49:54.000 How cute!

01:49:55.000 There you go.

01:49:59.000 All right, let's see, where are we at?

01:50:03.000 Golan Dasthopp says, absolutely loved your podcast with Jocko.

01:50:08.000 Can't wait to read Outlaw Platoon.

01:50:10.000 Oh, thanks.

01:50:11.000 Can I tell a quick story about that?

01:50:13.000 So my podcast with Jocko.

01:50:15.000 Jocko's an awesome guy.

01:50:16.000 I love him.

01:50:17.000 So he invited me on a show.

01:50:20.000 I was super excited about it.

01:50:21.000 I get out there in San Diego and I'm like, oh God, I'm a little nervous.

01:50:25.000 I don't know what this is gonna be like.

01:50:26.000 And he walks into his podcast, I walk into Victory MMA, And it's an awesome place, all these little octagons.

01:50:32.000 And everybody, there's like 200 people there rolling around on the mat.

01:50:36.000 And I'm like, where's Jocko?

01:50:37.000 And Jocko walks in, and it's like he's in, it's like an episode of Cheers.

01:50:40.000 Like everyone's like, hey Jocko!

01:50:42.000 He's like pointing at people.

01:50:43.000 And we go into this little room, right?

01:50:46.000 It's a closet, right?

01:50:47.000 Yes!

01:50:48.000 And we did a five and a half hour marathon podcast where he had Outlaw Platoon.

01:50:55.000 He had Outlaw Platoon, just like went through the chapters.

01:50:58.000 And all we did, was have a five and a half hour conversation about combat leadership and servant leadership the whole time.

01:51:05.000 And I, I didn't, I thought it was going to be there for my, for my fiction books.

01:51:09.000 Like I didn't hit it, but it was all about outlaw platoon five and a half hours long.

01:51:13.000 And it, it was just, I it's, it was, it was, it was awesome.

01:51:17.000 That's so cool.

01:51:17.000 It was awesome.

01:51:18.000 He's the best.

01:51:19.000 He's awesome.

01:51:19.000 He is.

01:51:20.000 JT Goldfish says, loved your book.

01:51:22.000 Sean gave me flashbacks from Afghanistan, but I will never vote for you unless you try to oust Romney in Utah.

01:51:29.000 So wait, you want me to be a carpetbagger and move to Utah?

01:51:32.000 Yeah, I guess so.

01:51:33.000 I guess so.

01:51:34.000 Mr. Behavior says, love how Sean said to Tim, quote, if you've ever seen Star Trek, as if

01:51:39.000 Tim doesn't reference Star Trek like every episode, lmao.

01:51:42.000 I was saying just for the audience.

01:51:46.000 Yeah.

01:51:47.000 And can we can we stop pretending that Star Trek is just a monologue?

01:51:51.000 There's Star Trek with Captain Kirk, there's Star Trek Next Generation, there's Deep Space Nine, so... And that's it.

01:51:58.000 And then after Deep Space Nine, it's over, there's no other Star Treks.

01:52:04.000 I guess Enterprise is okay, but...

01:52:07.000 Stars retract.

01:52:08.000 That's right.

01:52:08.000 Dorsey Woods says Republicans have been little more than speed bumps while progressives are

01:52:12.000 four-wheel drive.

01:52:14.000 Every day more ground is lost with fortified elections.

01:52:17.000 I'm not convinced the battle can be won anymore.

01:52:19.000 Fortifying the home front in case.

01:52:25.000 That is true.

01:52:26.000 So these people that want to change all these things are getting a pass from the media, and the people that are like, yo, the system's not as busted as it seems are getting kind of steamrolled, it seems.

01:52:35.000 But just change for the sake of change is not the right way to go.

01:52:37.000 You gotta know what you're doing and have a plan that's sustainable.

01:52:40.000 We shouldn't just burn it down because we're upset with some things?

01:52:40.000 You sure?

01:52:42.000 I think we shouldn't.

01:52:43.000 Yeah, I think I think her concerns.

01:52:45.000 I mean, her concerns about the election are something that I encounter every day.

01:52:48.000 50 percent of the people in the state of Pennsylvania have very little faith in it.

01:52:51.000 But what I can tell you is we know what they did in 2020.

01:52:56.000 Right.

01:52:56.000 And we have a plan.

01:52:57.000 We learned a lot of lessons.

01:52:58.000 Right.

01:52:59.000 And we're taking those lessons learned.

01:53:02.000 We're moving forward, integrating them into 2022.

01:53:04.000 And we're going to we're going to we've got a plan.

01:53:07.000 We've got a plan.

01:53:08.000 Brandon Tom says, Tim, your 1PM piece was spot on.

01:53:12.000 It doesn't matter how much or how little you know about the Middle East conflict.

01:53:15.000 It's conflict.

01:53:15.000 It's wrong to go around beating people based on immutable characteristics.

01:53:18.000 That's what matters.

01:53:20.000 So there's a video where... There's a couple videos.

01:53:23.000 A van or cars full of people with Palestinian flags yell out, like, who's Jewish? 0.97

01:53:29.000 And when some guys say they are, they get out and start beating the crap out of them. 0.92

01:53:31.000 I saw them.

01:53:32.000 I saw them.

01:53:32.000 There's a video of people in vehicles waving Palestinian flags chasing an Orthodox Jew through the streets.

01:53:32.000 It was horrible.

01:53:37.000 Horrible.

01:53:37.000 Yeah, it's insane.

01:53:38.000 It's insane.

01:53:39.000 And I don't see the left coming out and being like, we must stop this.

01:53:42.000 No, they're just like Hamas is defending itself.

01:53:44.000 I'm like, they're firing the rockets.

01:53:45.000 They're the ones firing.

01:53:47.000 And they use schools, they use hospitals, and they use buildings that are co-located with the media because they know that American media will freak out if, God forbid, you know, one of those targets gets hit.

01:54:02.000 And either way, they win.

01:54:03.000 They get a propaganda victory, right?

01:54:06.000 If one of those buildings becomes collateral damage.

01:54:09.000 Or they're shielded because they know that they won't be attacked there.

01:54:13.000 I would just say to the viewers, imagine your city getting hit with Thousands of rockets.

01:54:22.000 I mean, I lived like that for 485 days.

01:54:25.000 My base in Afghanistan had got hit with over 4,000 indirect fire attacks.

01:54:29.000 There's nothing worse.

01:54:30.000 There's no more hellish way to live than wondering if a rocket is going to land on your head at any moment, whether you're asleep, or you're going to the bathroom, or you're eating.

01:54:37.000 It's a horrible way to live, and we're trained to deal with it.

01:54:40.000 There are young kids living in Israel right now of all walks of life that have to live like that.

01:54:47.000 Can you imagine how that lifestyle affects those little ones?

01:54:50.000 It's unacceptable.

01:54:51.000 Kev says, Sean Parnell, I need that shirt.

01:54:53.000 Who makes it and where can I get one?

01:54:55.000 Don't say don't remember it as a label.

01:54:57.000 It's go to a website that's called Vero Cloth.

01:55:02.000 V-R-O? 0.99

01:55:03.000 Now I'm promoting another website.

01:55:07.000 It's like, I love these shirts.

01:55:09.000 I think they're in.

01:55:10.000 I'm trying to bring them in.

01:55:11.000 I'm making them in. 0.90

01:55:15.000 First Last says, Cop was trained by Rock Lee to open the eight gates.

01:55:20.000 And if you know what that means, then you are a friend of this show.

01:55:25.000 And now you're all confused.

01:55:26.000 Yeah, I'm very confused.

01:55:28.000 And here I thought I was a friend of the show.

01:55:31.000 Rock Lee is from Naruto.

01:55:31.000 Nope, nope.

01:55:33.000 Oh, is it this?

01:55:34.000 Wait, this is this anime show?

01:55:37.000 Naruto?

01:55:38.000 Yeah.

01:55:39.000 My kid watches this and my oldest son watches this and he loves it.

01:55:43.000 Yeah.

01:55:44.000 Is it like a thing?

01:55:45.000 Is it like good?

01:55:45.000 Is it good?

01:55:47.000 While it was running.

01:55:48.000 Is it appropriate for kids that are 12?

01:55:49.000 Okay, because I'm like Ethan.

01:55:52.000 You should be watching this podcast anyway.

01:55:54.000 It's about magic ninjas.

01:55:55.000 Okay, well now that sounds interesting.

01:55:57.000 It's actually cool writing in terms of politics.

01:55:58.000 You'd like it.

01:55:59.000 Magic ninjas, Andrew?

01:56:00.000 My campaign managers, mark that down.

01:56:02.000 Thumbs up.

01:56:03.000 We're going to watch it.

01:56:04.000 So the character, Rock Lee, can open his chakra gates to flood his body with more energy, but at the cost of causing damage to his body.

01:56:11.000 Yeah, that makes sense.

01:56:11.000 So the joke is that the cop opened the gates so he could lift the car off the woman.

01:56:17.000 Yeah, I see.

01:56:18.000 I get it.

01:56:20.000 Joseph Soilo says, Charles Hoskinson just mentioned you in his AMA.

01:56:24.000 Would be an awesome guest to discuss crypto on your show.

01:56:27.000 Absolutely.

01:56:29.000 You reached out to him, I think.

01:56:30.000 I did.

01:56:31.000 If someone would let him know to hit me up, I will happily coordinate that.

01:56:35.000 I would love to do that.

01:56:36.000 So he's the guy who founded Cardano.

01:56:37.000 Yes.

01:56:38.000 And so I have four cryptos.

01:56:40.000 I have Bitcoin, Ethereum, Doge and Cardano.

01:56:43.000 And I gotta be honest, like, I can give you a reason why, but when you go on Gemini, it's like, those are the four that are, like, there.

01:56:48.000 They're just like, buy, buy, buy.

01:56:49.000 It's probably not a complicated thing.

01:56:50.000 It's just like, I don't know, I'm gonna buy whatever's there.

01:56:53.000 No, but he was the co-founder of Ethereum, I guess.

01:56:55.000 And Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only ones I'm, like, really confident in.

01:56:58.000 But then I look at Cardano, I'm like, this guy clearly knows what he's doing.

01:57:02.000 And he's got a different approach to it.

01:57:04.000 So I think once that launches up, it'll be pretty big.

01:57:07.000 We'll see.

01:57:07.000 Whatever.

01:57:09.000 I don't think Dogecoin's going anywhere, to be honest.

01:57:11.000 But I'm going to keep my Dogecoin because it's funny.

01:57:15.000 Yeah.

01:57:17.000 All right, let's see.

01:57:18.000 Yeti Dude says, Where are the politicians that respect the Constitution and the law of the land and restore the freedom of the people of these United States?

01:57:26.000 You got one sitting right here.

01:57:28.000 And again, again, like you can't people like me can't win if the people don't help.

01:57:35.000 And I mean, like you've got like you got to contribute to people's campaigns.

01:57:35.000 Right.

01:57:39.000 Otherwise, otherwise you get bludgeoned to death by big party politics.

01:57:44.000 Yes.

01:57:45.000 I want to just give a shout out to IOHK.io, which is Cardano's website, or one of them.

01:57:50.000 IOHK.io.

01:57:51.000 It's just so cool.

01:57:52.000 You go there and you swipe around on it.

01:57:54.000 Oh, cool.

01:57:55.000 This is so neat.

01:57:56.000 If this has anything to do with how advanced... No one can see what you're doing.

01:57:58.000 I know, I know.

01:57:58.000 But go there when the podcast is over and check it out and mouse around and swipe around on it.

01:58:03.000 What does it do?

01:58:03.000 It's just this really amazing graphical layout.

01:58:07.000 And if this speaks to... It's like dropping paint in water.

01:58:09.000 Yeah, the creativity of the designers and the developers.

01:58:12.000 I wonder if this, you know, it just makes me have faith in the developers as a whole.

01:58:15.000 All right.

01:58:16.000 It's pretty.

01:58:17.000 I've loved this for years.

01:58:18.000 That's why Obama got elected.

01:58:19.000 He was a celebrity.

01:58:20.000 Flashy, colorful.

01:58:21.000 Beautiful.

01:58:23.000 All right, let's see.

01:58:23.000 We just said YouTube just jumped on us.

01:58:26.000 Remote CFO says, In my honest opinion, YouTubers that claim they can make more of a difference on YouTube rather than office is just a cop out.

01:58:32.000 Tim, I love you, my Korean brother, but your country needs you.

01:58:35.000 Sean, PA is behind you.

01:58:37.000 Awesome.

01:58:39.000 I don't know what I would do in office.

01:58:41.000 Sit around and complain.

01:58:42.000 Someone's attacking me on Twitter for not...

01:58:46.000 I didn't know what the content of the NFA... I know what this stuff is, but I didn't know where the hell you were at.

01:58:53.000 People are dumb. 1.00

01:58:54.000 People give me no grace. 1.00

01:58:55.000 Twitter's dumb. 1.00

01:58:56.000 Let's put it that way. 0.99

01:58:57.000 Daniel Bundrick says, anytime someone suggests a new law, they are saying, there should be a new sword.

01:59:02.000 And good, though the sword may be, they don't get to decide who will wield it.

01:59:06.000 We should choose our laws wisely and assume they will be wielded by the worst among us.

01:59:09.000 I mean, if you were to, like, take all the laws in the U.S.

01:59:13.000 and put them in a book, the book would probably be, like, what, 20 stories tall?

01:59:16.000 Yes.

01:59:17.000 That's insane.

01:59:19.000 People don't even know what's illegal and they're like, ignorance is no excuse.

01:59:21.000 Uh, actually it is.

01:59:22.000 It totally is. 1.00

01:59:23.000 That's the most, it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. 1.00

01:59:25.000 Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. 1.00

01:59:27.000 Bro, I'm a law-abiding citizen.

01:59:28.000 If I knew I couldn't bake an apple pie on Sundays and put it on my windowsill, I wouldn't have done it.

01:59:32.000 But that's insane.

01:59:33.000 You know, in some places that's true, like, There's like some places where you can't bathe on Tuesdays.

01:59:37.000 Yeah.

01:59:37.000 And people don't know that those laws are still in the books.

01:59:40.000 And they expect that the judges will just do the right thing.

01:59:42.000 Well, what if they don't?

01:59:44.000 What if they don't do the right thing?

01:59:45.000 Get those laws out of there.

01:59:46.000 What are you doing?

01:59:46.000 You can't turn right on red in New York.

01:59:48.000 I didn't know.

01:59:49.000 I lived there.

01:59:50.000 Lived in LA.

01:59:50.000 Lived in Chicago where you can turn right on red.

01:59:52.000 Can't turn right on red in New York.

01:59:54.000 And then you get pulled over and they'll give you a ticket and say, ignorance is no excuse.

02:00:00.000 There's a lot of things where you don't realize it's illegal.

02:00:03.000 For instance, what people don't realize about drones, you can buy at Best Buy.

02:00:06.000 You can go to Best Buy and be like, I'll take a drone, please.

02:00:07.000 Okay.

02:00:08.000 And then you can fly it and then not even realize it's breaking the law.

02:00:11.000 It's like, I went to a toy store and I bought this.

02:00:14.000 Well, they restrict that kind of stuff, but there are certain things you might not even realize.

02:00:19.000 Can you believe this?

02:00:20.000 You can't climb into the tiger pen at a zoo.

02:00:23.000 Who's supposed to know?

02:00:24.000 I'm kidding.

02:00:24.000 Who came up with that one?

02:00:25.000 Don't do that.

02:00:27.000 No, but there are some things where it's like... So, for instance, in my... For me, I was driving back from Colorado Springs for Carson, and they had suspended my license without telling me because there was no way they could have and no way for me to know, and I got in trouble for it.

02:00:42.000 And I'm like, what is this?

02:00:44.000 I had no idea it even happened, and I'm coming home before I even got my mail, and they're like, so what?

02:00:49.000 Couldn't they have been like, okay, dude, don't drive again.

02:00:52.000 Here's your official warning.

02:00:54.000 Forget about it.

02:00:54.000 But you can't drive because your license is suspended.

02:00:56.000 I'd have been like, you got it, boss.

02:00:57.000 Instead, they're like, we're arresting you and we'll see you in court.

02:01:00.000 And I went to court.

02:01:01.000 They were like, so you confess.

02:01:03.000 And I was like, bro, just give me the notification.

02:01:05.000 The first thing that should happen is the driver, you should get pulled over by a cop.

02:01:09.000 You should be like, I'm giving you formal notice.

02:01:11.000 Your license has been suspended.

02:01:12.000 You have to exit your vehicle right now.

02:01:14.000 If you're caught driving again, it's on your record.

02:01:16.000 You will be arrested.

02:01:17.000 I'd be like, you got it.

02:01:18.000 But ignorance is no excuse.

02:01:20.000 Like, if someone, if a cop goes down the street and tickets a bunch of cars, and then some, like, random person comes up and then takes all the tickets off all the cars.

02:01:27.000 Yep, too bad.

02:01:28.000 That's illegal, but you won't know that you got a ticket.

02:01:31.000 How, what, that's so busted.

02:01:32.000 You'll get a ticket in the mail saying you failed to appear or contest until you have a final... That's so crazy.

02:01:37.000 Yeah, the system's got a bunch of problems, man.

02:01:39.000 I don't know, I don't know what you do with it.

02:01:42.000 We gotta, we gotta just keep working, I suppose.

02:01:44.000 All right, we'll do a couple more here.

02:01:45.000 We got Sam Devlin.

02:01:46.000 He says, I was accepted to Stockton U and NJ.

02:01:49.000 They're requiring VACs by 8-1.

02:01:51.000 Students only.

02:01:52.000 Hmm.

02:01:53.000 Or I can't start my fall classes, even if all are online.

02:01:56.000 I refuse to bend the knee.

02:01:57.000 My mom is going to be pissed. 1.00

02:01:58.000 Need to find a new program.

02:02:00.000 Well, um, why go to college?

02:02:04.000 That's a good question.

02:02:04.000 Yeah.

02:02:05.000 Like what, what, what are you going to college for?

02:02:07.000 What, why go to college?

02:02:08.000 I would say if going to college is something you have your heart set on, if it's something like STEM, just so you know, vaccinations have always been required by all different kinds of schools for polio, MMR, and all that stuff.

02:02:19.000 Yeah, so it's not really new, and I'm not surprised by this as such.

02:02:23.000 I don't know.

02:02:24.000 Just my two cents.

02:02:24.000 That's a great point.

02:02:26.000 Yeah, I think college is dumb and a waste of time. 0.98

02:02:29.000 A conservatory kind of thing. 0.99

02:02:30.000 That was cool.

02:02:31.000 I certainly don't think it's, you know, I was raised, you know, in our generation, it's like, oh, you gotta go to school, you gotta go to school.

02:02:38.000 And I did.

02:02:38.000 I got my undergrad, I got my master's, don't do anything with it.

02:02:42.000 But I think in today's day and age, you know, It's hard, you know, it's hard to find a plumber.

02:02:49.000 It's hard to find carboners It's hard to find people that have actual trades and and those people when they get jobs like they're making 80 90 100 bucks an hour, you know And there are so many jobs available and so I think learning a trade moving forward a manufacturing trade is something that's just It's really important right now.

02:03:10.000 Was your experience as an undergrad and you said you got your master's too?

02:03:13.000 Yeah.

02:03:13.000 Did that help you get into officer school?

02:03:16.000 No.

02:03:17.000 I went through after 9-11.

02:03:19.000 I was an elementary education major at Clarion University.

02:03:24.000 Wanted to teach second grade.

02:03:26.000 9-11 happened.

02:03:28.000 Geez, a few days later I was down at the recruiter.

02:03:31.000 Joined the infantry.

02:03:32.000 Instead I wanted to join the infantry, go to airborne school, ranger school.

02:03:35.000 Transferred to Duquesne.

02:03:38.000 It's not COVID.

02:03:39.000 It's not COVID.

02:03:40.000 Believe it.

02:03:42.000 Transfer to Duquesne and join the ROTC program.

02:03:46.000 Drink that water.

02:03:47.000 Yeah.

02:03:49.000 All right.

02:03:49.000 Everybody's got some token.

02:03:51.000 We get tons of super chats where they're like, say this token, say this token, say this token.

02:03:54.000 So many tokens.

02:03:55.000 No, no, no.

02:03:56.000 No.

02:03:57.000 No financial advice here.

02:03:59.000 What's that?

02:03:59.000 What's a token?

02:04:00.000 So tokens are, they exist on other chains.

02:04:04.000 So like ERG20 tokens are really easy to make.

02:04:08.000 You can just like snap your fingers and make a bunch of tokens.

02:04:10.000 It's kind of like we should never read super chat token shout outs.

02:04:14.000 Right, I avoid them for the most part.

02:04:15.000 Because everyone's always just trying to- Does everyone have a token now?

02:04:18.000 It's so easy to make tokens.

02:04:19.000 You snap your fingers and you can do it.

02:04:20.000 Yeah.

02:04:21.000 Oh.

02:04:22.000 Yep, like literally just.

02:04:23.000 So.

02:04:25.000 Why would someone... Why do people want to do... I could make Beanie Coin right now.

02:04:29.000 Pump and dump.

02:04:30.000 Beanie Coin.

02:04:31.000 It would operate on the Ethereum network.

02:04:32.000 Yes.

02:04:33.000 I could just snap my fingers and make it.

02:04:34.000 It would probably take, what, like 10 minutes, you think?

02:04:35.000 I don't know.

02:04:36.000 I've never done it before.

02:04:36.000 10 minutes?

02:04:37.000 And then I could make, like, okay, Beanie Coin has a million coins.

02:04:40.000 I keep 100,000 for myself.

02:04:42.000 And then I just disperse the coins, you know, by some metric or whatever.

02:04:46.000 And then... Or people can start proof of staking to generate coins or something.

02:04:51.000 And then once the coin is worth a penny, I have, you know, $1,000 or whatever.

02:04:56.000 So people will make a token with 450 million total capacity or something, and then it's money.

02:05:04.000 Or they'll buy like a million tokens and then super chat for 50 bucks, like, hey, this token, hope that it goes up 50% and they make half a million dollars.

02:05:11.000 Which is basically just like scamming people.

02:05:13.000 Holy smokes.

02:05:14.000 Yeah, it's very pump and dump.

02:05:15.000 It's very disturbing.

02:05:16.000 Wow.

02:05:17.000 Powerful tech, but disturbing.

02:05:19.000 Well, there's no regulation, which is partly the good thing.

02:05:22.000 I mean, buyer beware, right?

02:05:23.000 Yes.

02:05:23.000 Caveat emptor.

02:05:24.000 Is that what it is?

02:05:25.000 I don't know.

02:05:26.000 That sounds Roman.

02:05:27.000 Caveat emptor?

02:05:28.000 It's Latin, for sure.

02:05:29.000 Yeah, let the buyer beware.

02:05:30.000 Yeah.

02:05:31.000 All right.

02:05:32.000 GG Player says, tried to go to his website, says the IP could not be reached on Chrome.

02:05:55.000 Gavin McDougal says hedge funds are liquidating assets, including crypto, in anticipation of having to pay out on AMC, not because Elon talks crap.

02:06:04.000 Yeah, the big squeeze, everyone's excited, is claiming it's going to be a big hedge fund squeeze.

02:06:10.000 And Bill Gates is panicking, and there's a bunch of conspiracy theories. I don't know what's going to happen.

02:06:13.000 But we want to see it.
