Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - FBI Agent FORCED Out Over Left Political Bias, Escorted Out Of Bureau w- Peter Navarro

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:24.000 you an FBI agent accused of suppressing the hunter Biden laptop

00:00:49.000 investigation among other acts of political bias was escorted out of the bureau

00:00:54.000 building resigned and there's conflicting reports as to whether or

00:00:58.000 not this was just a resignation and escorting someone else is totally

00:01:03.000 normal or This is something more serious.

00:01:04.000 And I think, despite the reporting to the contrary, it is more serious because this individual was placed on leave and the resignation was probably one of those things where they're like, I demand your resignation over this.

00:01:14.000 And then the guy resigned.

00:01:15.000 So maybe this is good news.

00:01:17.000 We'll talk about that because the greater context, Donald Trump is livid calling out this FBI agent saying he was fired.

00:01:24.000 Joe Biden is now coming out saying the attacks on the FBI are are egregious.

00:01:28.000 But I just gotta tell you, man, more and more we look at it, the FBI looks completely corrupt.

00:01:33.000 And it's actually pretty scary.

00:01:34.000 So we'll get into all that.

00:01:35.000 We got a bunch of other stories.

00:01:36.000 We have Taiwan firing warning shots at a Chinese drone.

00:01:40.000 This is creepy because we also have conflicting reports.

00:01:43.000 CNN says an unidentified drone.

00:01:45.000 We don't know.

00:01:45.000 And NBC says it was a Chinese drone.

00:01:47.000 So who's CNN covering for?

00:01:49.000 And then we got this crazy story out of Portland.

00:01:51.000 These people took over the city for street racing or whatever.

00:01:55.000 Many of them are Antifa leftist types who want lawlessness.

00:01:59.000 And they started shooting at some old guy and then killed one of their own.

00:02:03.000 This is what's happening on the streets in this country.

00:02:05.000 So we'll get into all that and much, much more.

00:02:59.000 Tim, really good to be back with you here, sir, in the rural Maryland.

00:03:04.000 It's just a sweet little spot out here and you got the music going on during the day and, oh yeah, this good stuff at night.

00:03:13.000 Do you want to introduce yourself, what you did, who you are?

00:03:17.000 Sure.

00:03:18.000 I am one of only three senior White House advisors who served with President Trump in the White House.

00:03:30.000 Starting all the way from the campaign in 2016 to what we like to joyfully call the end of his first term, just to make it clear that he's still very much in the game.

00:03:44.000 My bag, as it were, was dead center, deplorable, make America great again, Trump Republicanism.

00:03:57.000 remit for the first three years of the Trump White House, Tim, was to create blue-collar manufacturing jobs in America.

00:04:10.000 And in order to do that, we had to do a combination of things.

00:04:15.000 One, we had to level the playing field internationally with trade cheaters.

00:04:24.000 Which at the top of that list was, of course, Communist China.

00:04:27.000 So I was known as, along with Brother Steve Bannon before he exited the White House, as the China Hawks.

00:04:38.000 And then the second way to go about bringing manufacturing home was to prosecute aggressively the Buy America, Hire America policies.

00:04:51.000 One of the triumphs, I think, of the Trump administration was to, first of all, get tough on China, but second of all, to bring in the old Reagan Democrats, the Trump Democrats that became Republicans because We really focused like a laser on good jobs and good wages for the people.

00:05:19.000 So it was an interesting four years.

00:05:24.000 Part of the reason I'm here, I got this new book out called Taking Back Trump's America.

00:05:29.000 The mission of that book is to win back the House of Representatives in 2022 in November.

00:05:37.000 We'll talk more about that later, I'm sure, but also put Trump back in the White House in 2024.

00:05:43.000 But really, the importance of the book is to talk about the difference between Trump Republicanism and RINOs, the Republican name only.

00:05:55.000 That's what Biden is drawing a distinction between right now, saying the MAGA Republicans, semi-fascism and all that stuff.

00:06:01.000 So we'll get into all that.

00:06:03.000 You were also, they also arrested you, I believe, right?

00:06:06.000 Yeah, I guess I buried the lead there.

00:06:09.000 Yeah, right.

00:06:11.000 Since you were leg irons, baby.

00:06:14.000 They put you in leg irons.

00:06:16.000 They put me in leg irons.

00:06:19.000 The bigger story here, let me give context.

00:06:23.000 Well, I don't want to get into it before we get started.

00:06:25.000 Okay, so they put me in leg irons in solitary confinement, denied me an attorney, kept me in solitary confinement in a dungeon.

00:06:34.000 They seem to be happy about the fact that I was in the same cell that John Hinckley sat in after he shot Reagan.

00:06:42.000 This seems to be kind of something that's stuck in their minds.

00:06:46.000 It's like the guy who created hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs in the White House and during the pandemic saved hundreds of thousands of lives was sitting in the same cell as the guy who shot Ronald Reagan.

00:06:58.000 OK, that's that's the FBI, folks, as we know.

00:07:01.000 We'll go off a little bit later.

00:07:03.000 Yes, sir.

00:07:04.000 So thanks for joining us.

00:07:05.000 We also have Hannah-Claire Brimelow.

00:07:06.000 Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow.

00:07:07.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.

00:07:09.000 Very easy.

00:07:09.000 Yeah, sure.

00:07:10.000 What's up, dudes?

00:07:10.000 Ian Crossland here.

00:07:11.000 Man, Peter, I'm glad you're talking about industrialization.

00:07:13.000 My brother, Ian.

00:07:14.000 Yo, dog.

00:07:14.000 Good to see you again, man.

00:07:15.000 So I don't know if you're familiar, but we can retrieve carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and deposit it to create graphene.

00:07:21.000 Speaking bearing the lead there.

00:07:23.000 How about we get into the show already?

00:07:25.000 This show is hot.

00:07:26.000 I'll tell you about it.

00:07:27.000 So it's a way, I think, that we can bridge the gap between environmentalists and national industrialists.

00:07:32.000 You know, it's funny you say that, if I may here.

00:07:35.000 It's like, my background, by the way, and don't hold this against me, I have a PhD in economics from Harvard, so it's like, this is kind of, it's like, this is my wheelhouse, and the idea That we could ever solve the issue of carbon dioxide emissions on the demand side is ludicrous, because no matter how much you would ever restrict carbon consumption here in the United States and in Europe,

00:08:05.000 Whatever we did would be far outstripped by growth of that in India, and particularly China.

00:08:12.000 I mean, so it's friggin' absurd. 0.91

00:08:14.000 It's friggin' absurd. 0.74

00:08:16.000 But to his point, just carbon capture on the supply side, if you're going to do this, that's what we should focus on.

00:08:22.000 Yeah, you do it with methane and carbon dioxide.

00:08:24.000 Yeah, we'll get into that.

00:08:26.000 Tim's getting out of control.

00:08:28.000 No, you guys, I'm very excited for this show.

00:08:31.000 We're going to have a great time, in case you guys didn't already notice.

00:08:33.000 Let's jump into it!

00:08:35.000 Actually, nope.

00:08:36.000 We're getting jammed up again.

00:08:38.000 I just want to give a shout out.

00:08:39.000 We can pull this up to Tom McDonald, who's currently number three on the rap and hip-hop iTunes.

00:08:45.000 Because I was saying the other day, like, if you don't want to support our music, Tom McDonald's got better stuff than we do.

00:08:49.000 And if everybody just bought his stuff, The point is just to take over the culture, to create more

00:08:55.000 culture.

00:08:56.000 And he's certainly doing it.

00:08:57.000 So he tweeted out that he's currently number three on iTunes because I was shouting him out.

00:09:00.000 So you guys rock.

00:09:01.000 And shout out to Tom McDonald.

00:09:02.000 And he was like, fake woke's like a really old song.

00:09:05.000 All of a sudden it's popping up on the charts because Tim's shouting it out.

00:09:07.000 But yeah, man, it's about affecting culture, man.

00:09:10.000 Let's jump into this first story, finally.

00:09:12.000 It's time.

00:09:13.000 Here we go.

00:09:14.000 From the post-millennial, FBI agent accused of suppressing Hunter Biden laptop investigation resigns, escorted out of building.

00:09:21.000 Now, this story is really interesting because there's conflicting reports as to whether or not he just resigned or he was forced to resign.

00:09:29.000 And the story from the Washington Times is that this guy, Tim Tubalt, retired over the weekend, but was previously on leave for about a month.

00:09:37.000 According to the Washington Times, Tobalt retired over the weekend on Friday.

00:09:39.000 Eyewitness accounts state he was seen exiting the Washington Bureau's elevator while being escorted by two or three headquarters-looking types.

00:09:46.000 Tobalt was named by Senate Judiciary Ranking Member Chuck Grassley in a July letter to FBI Director Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland that cited whistleblowers who alleged political bias from high-ranking officials.

00:09:57.000 According to Grassley, the whistleblowers said the FBI and Justice Department employees must follow strict guidelines to open an investigation, and Tobalt did not follow them.

00:10:05.000 As you are aware, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Tim Tebowl is not the only politically biased FBI agent at the Washington Field Office.

00:10:16.000 Adding, the FBI answers to Congress and the American people.

00:10:20.000 Tebowl was one of 13 special agents in charge at the Washington Field Office and had been under fire from Republicans in Congress after it was revealed that he made anti-Trump posts on social media in the lead up to the 2020 election while he was supposed to be helping to direct the investigation of Hunter Biden.

00:10:35.000 Well, as we know from these whistleblowers, the FBI blocked that.

00:10:38.000 Now, Donald Trump came out and said this is the guy that was leading the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

00:10:43.000 Other media outlets have come out and said that's not true, but this guy's the Washington field office, and it was the Washington field office that was in charge of this, so all of the news coming out is conflicting.

00:10:53.000 Fox News said it's unceremonious that he was escorted out, that's normal, and that it was just a resignation, while the Washington Times says he's being forced out.

00:11:01.000 Who do you believe now?

00:11:03.000 This is the challenge.

00:11:04.000 So Peter, what's going on?

00:11:05.000 Is the FBI a bunch of good guys just trying to help us all live better lives?

00:11:10.000 Are they going after the criminals?

00:11:12.000 Or are they Biden's personal Gestapo?

00:11:14.000 Yeah, let's put this in historical context.

00:11:18.000 If you go back to the days of J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI has a very tawdry history of abusing the agency for political ends.

00:11:32.000 Martin Luther King, I think, was the poster child.

00:11:35.000 of the wrath of God, a.k.a.

00:11:38.000 J.J.

00:11:39.000 Edgar, but many others felt the investigatory weaponization of that agency.

00:11:46.000 So, that supposedly went away, but I would argue, and Tim, let's put this Hunter Laptop Biden incident in its broader historical perspective, and we start When I was on the campaign in 2016 with Donald Trump in Trump Tower in Manhattan, prior to the 2016 election, the so-called Russia hoax began.

00:12:20.000 The Russia hoax is a discredited Russia hoax, which was supposed to somehow tie Trump as some kind of puppet of Putin, right?

00:12:28.000 It's just it's just it was a Democrat Operative funded by Hillary Clinton got it started but it was the FBI agents like Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Comey himself, others, and that was where the first preemptive coup

00:12:50.000 What they wanted to do prior to the election was taint him with the Russia hoax and Hillary would win. 1.00

00:12:59.000 That didn't work, but that Russia hoax continued for several years, led by former FBI Director Mueller.

00:13:09.000 They took a lot of prisoners, Tim, a lot of casualties.

00:13:13.000 I mean, Mike Flynn, I love that guy.

00:13:15.000 I was with him in the Trump Tower during the transition.

00:13:20.000 We had great plans.

00:13:21.000 He's going to be the National Security Advisor.

00:13:23.000 We were going to crack down on China. 0.98

00:13:24.000 It would have made a real difference.

00:13:26.000 They got him in an entrapment scheme.

00:13:28.000 They got George Papadopoulos.

00:13:30.000 They got Paul Manafort.

00:13:31.000 They did an over-the-top raid of Roger Stone with frogmen and guns blazing leaks to CNN.

00:13:38.000 There's a pattern here.

00:13:39.000 That's my point here, Tim.

00:13:41.000 There's a pattern here.

00:13:42.000 Preemptive coup prior to 2016.

00:13:45.000 A coup they attempted throughout the years that Trump was in.

00:13:49.000 And fast forward to Hunter Biden laptop, they succeeded in that coup.

00:13:55.000 If you believe two things.

00:13:57.000 One, Mark Zuckerberg says the FBI told him to suppress any information about the Hunter Biden laptop prior to the election.

00:14:06.000 And the FBI had that thing for over a year.

00:14:09.000 They knew the information was accurate, that that guy was into pornography, crack, and most importantly, influence peddling.

00:14:17.000 But it's not just that.

00:14:18.000 It's that there's connections between him and his dad and their business dealings, which is more than just being a bad person.

00:14:24.000 According to Mark, the FBI gave him a general warning, like, hey, watch out for misinformation.

00:14:29.000 And then Mark took it upon himself to censor the Biden thing.

00:14:33.000 Except whistleblowers came out and said that they knew the Hunter Biden laptop thing was happening and they should not investigate it because they didn't want to interfere in the election.

00:14:42.000 At the same time, went to Mark Zuckerberg and said, hey, we want to actually put our thumb on the scale, so watch out for the information we deem to be misinformation.

00:14:51.000 You can't play it both ways.

00:14:53.000 You can't.

00:14:54.000 And interestingly enough, last week I had to step in as a guest host for Brother Bannon on his show.

00:15:01.000 And when that story broke that day, I interviewed Miranda Devine.

00:15:04.000 Why is that important?

00:15:05.000 She wrote the book, Laptop from Hell. 0.78

00:15:09.000 The New York Post was the one who broke the story and Twitter took him off and Facebook and what she said was Zuckerberg flat-out lied because he and Facebook were much more aggressive than Twitter, but here's Here's the point.

00:15:24.000 We had actually someone message us in the Super Chats last night saying Zuckerberg lied.

00:15:29.000 They had been permanently banned from Facebook over sharing the Hunter Biden laptop story during the election.

00:15:35.000 He made Twitter sound like they were the tough guys.

00:15:38.000 No, BS.

00:15:40.000 Colin, BS on Mark.

00:15:41.000 But the main thread here is The FBI, I see them as an insurrectionist, okay?

00:15:51.000 Think about this.

00:15:51.000 If you look at Webster's Dictionary, an insurrectionist is armed people who are trying to overthrow the, quote, constituted authority, okay?

00:16:01.000 Trump was president for four years, armed FBI agents in the executive suites and down, Tried to overthrow Trump, and they succeeded!

00:16:11.000 They succeeded!

00:16:12.000 The polls here, Tim, you know what the polls say about Hunter Biden laptop, right?

00:16:17.000 Rasmussen, I think it found, what, 7% of people would have voted for Trump had they known about this.

00:16:22.000 Yes.

00:16:22.000 So Trump should be in the White House.

00:16:24.000 But what do you think about the FBI going after Hillary Clinton's emails?

00:16:28.000 Because the argument that the left makes is that, well, if Comey hadn't done the investigation over her emails, she would have gotten the same bump, and she would have won.

00:16:36.000 Well, in the dual system of justice, I'm the guy in leg irons, Trump's the guy who has a raid on Mar-a-Lago despite cooperating with the National Archives of all things, and Eric Holder, who was the Attorney General under Obama who killed people with his His operation down in Mexico with gun running, he was charged, they recommended the same charge for him as me, he went free, Hillary's free, Peter Strzok's on CNN making six or seven figures, and that was the SOB at the FBI in the top executive suites.

00:17:19.000 Who was directly responsible for manipulating information to perpetuate the Russia hoax.

00:17:27.000 And so to finish the thought, it's like now we have another preemptive coup.

00:17:32.000 We had one in 2016 that failed.

00:17:34.000 We had an actual coup by the FBI that succeeded because they suppressed the Hunter Biden information, which would have swung the election to Trump.

00:17:43.000 And now we have another attempted preemptive coup at Mar-a-Lago, trying to stick him with a criminal charge that would prevent him from running.

00:17:52.000 So the question here is...

00:17:54.000 To this news point is this one guy.

00:17:57.000 How many bad apples are in that bunch?

00:18:00.000 And I go back... Thirteen?

00:18:03.000 A thousand?

00:18:04.000 Two?

00:18:04.000 I mean, how many?

00:18:05.000 I go back to why I'm here in a little way.

00:18:08.000 Taking back Trump's America Book mission is to get control of the House of Representatives in November so that we can start issuing the subpoenas To the FBI, the Department of Justice, the National Archives and find out just what exactly is going on.

00:18:25.000 Who's calling these shots?

00:18:27.000 Who decided to go down to Mar-a-Lago when the guy's cooperating with them and go down there with armed agents and steel boxes?

00:18:37.000 What did Kash Patel say?

00:18:38.000 What did Cash Patel say?

00:18:40.000 He thinks that the boxes they took are related to some of the cover-ups inside the FBI related to the Russia.

00:18:49.000 That's plausible.

00:18:51.000 The affidavit said that they were covered 15 boxes.

00:18:55.000 I think they seized 11 packets of documents or something like that.

00:19:00.000 Correct me if I'm wrong, Hannah-Claire.

00:19:03.000 It said that Donald Trump was instructed that he had boxes that may contain classified information by the National Archives.

00:19:08.000 So he then sent those boxes.

00:19:10.000 Oh yeah, here you go.

00:19:10.000 Take them.

00:19:11.000 The National Archives took them, went through them, and found newspaper clippings, personal memos from the president, and some classified information spattered among these boxes.

00:19:20.000 Then sent a message to the FBI saying, hey, look what Trump had.

00:19:24.000 The FBI said, sounds like he's got more, probably.

00:19:27.000 Okay.

00:19:28.000 Got a warrant on those grounds.

00:19:29.000 And the warrant said from the first day to the last day of his presidency.

00:19:33.000 And then they went in, searched the house, took more documents.

00:19:37.000 So Cash thinks the documents they took were related to Russiagate.

00:19:40.000 Yeah.

00:19:41.000 And that, I mean, this is a crazy, this is a crazy movie-esque story, if this is really how it played out.

00:19:47.000 That Donald Trump leaves the White House, declassifying as he goes the crossfire hurricane documents showing the FBI was engaged in malfeasance to try and subvert this country or something like that.

00:19:57.000 And then while, for whatever reason, Trump's holding onto these documents, not publishing them.

00:20:02.000 They realize he's got them, and they need an excuse to go in and take them, which is why they needed a broad search warrant that said from day one to the last day, which is insane.

00:20:11.000 The Fourth Amendment, my understanding prescribes, you need a narrow set for your search warrant.

00:20:16.000 You need to be looking for something specifically that is approved of, not to simply go to a judge and be like, we think he's got classified documents.

00:20:23.000 Good enough for me!

00:20:24.000 You can take anything he has from any pointless presidency. 0.94

00:20:27.000 That's insane.

00:20:30.000 That theory may well be true, but what I did was I went and looked at the statutes authorizing the search, and interestingly enough, there's a little clause right there in the statute that says that if you were found to contain confidential documents, you can't run for office.

00:20:54.000 Think about that.

00:20:55.000 It's right there in the statute.

00:20:56.000 So it's like, this could be Russiagate, and I believe that, but it also could be as simple as they pick those statutes as a way of stopping Trump from... Yeah, maybe, but...

00:21:10.000 I don't think these people are as powerful as a lot of people think they are.

00:21:12.000 I think obviously we have this unit of FBI agents and probably many, many more that are really bad, but this won't stop Trump.

00:21:18.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:21:21.000 Trump is the president.

00:21:23.000 He has broad declassification powers, if not unilateral declassification powers.

00:21:27.000 They try and compare him to Hillary Clinton, but Hillary Clinton was not the president.

00:21:31.000 She doesn't determine what is classified.

00:21:33.000 Trump does as the president.

00:21:35.000 So, Kash Patel said this, I think, back in January.

00:21:38.000 Anything Trump has is declassified because he was the president.

00:21:42.000 Look, two things can be true here.

00:21:45.000 One is that they can have the powers that they think they have.

00:21:48.000 These are very powerful people, okay?

00:21:50.000 They put people in prison.

00:21:52.000 I mean, look, think about my situation here, Tim.

00:21:55.000 Take a guess, okay?

00:21:57.000 How much on lawyers have I already shelled out for what is a misdemeanor?

00:22:01.000 Okay?

00:22:02.000 Think about that.

00:22:03.000 Well, let's start from the beginning.

00:22:04.000 $600,000.

00:22:04.000 But let's start from the beginning.

00:22:06.000 It's close.

00:22:06.000 It's over $400,000 and that's just the beginning.

00:22:09.000 Let's start from the beginning.

00:22:11.000 You got arrested.

00:22:12.000 What happened?

00:22:12.000 So, the overlay here is the January 6th so-called Select Committee, which is selected basically of a bunch of Democrats and two Rhino Republicans.

00:22:27.000 It's a committee which Nancy Pelosi herself called unprecedented because it's a totally partisan You know, they put me in that stuff, right?

00:22:37.000 They showed a clip of me reading a news article and then claimed that I was a Trump supporter calling for people to go to DC.

00:22:44.000 Never did.

00:22:44.000 They lied.

00:22:44.000 put me in that stuff, right? Yeah, no, showed a clip of me reading a news article. Interesting. And then claim that

00:22:50.000 I was a Trump supporter calling for people to go to a crime never, never did. They lied. Jamie Raskin is a liar and an

00:22:56.000 awful person. Yes. Anyway, I so they they subpoena me and command me that's the term they use to come and testify 1.00

00:23:08.000 before Congress and provide them with some documents.

00:23:11.000 Now, here's the constitutional problem and the rock-hard place I'm in.

00:23:16.000 As soon as they did that, we have the fact that Trump Invokes what's called executive privilege, okay executive privilege.

00:23:25.000 It goes back to George Washington.

00:23:27.000 It's a doctrine It it might you know, the word privilege has kind of got a bad rap these days, but the whole idea is for a president To make effective decisions, he has to be able to have confidential discussions with his closest advisors that can't be revealed in the ordinary course of business.

00:23:46.000 So, as soon as he evoked a privilege, number one, it was not my privilege to wave.

00:23:52.000 Number two, so I told the committee repeatedly time and time again, go negotiate a waiver of the privilege with the president and his attorneys.

00:24:01.000 They never did that.

00:24:01.000 This is the same argument that Steve Bannon's legal team used, right?

00:24:05.000 That Trump had invoked executive privilege and he was not at liberty.

00:24:08.000 It's the same argument that Mark Meadows, the former chief of staff, and Dan Scavino.

00:24:12.000 They're arguing you lose, the president loses executive privilege the moment he walks out of office.

00:24:17.000 Which is a fanciful and absurd notion which has no basis in the law.

00:24:22.000 The point here is that... It would mean that you'd have no privilege during the presidency either.

00:24:25.000 It's ridiculous.

00:24:26.000 I think the privilege belongs to the office, not to the individual. 0.94

00:24:28.000 It's crazy.

00:24:29.000 Well...

00:24:31.000 Be careful with that, because that's kind of their argument, in some sense.

00:24:36.000 Just go back to the logic of this.

00:24:39.000 If President Trump has executive privilege, and his predecessor comes in and immediately strips him of it, then he never had it.

00:24:49.000 But I don't think you should be able to strip the presidency of its privilege.

00:24:53.000 So it's not the office, it's the individual who held the office.

00:24:57.000 Like, any president who goes in and says, this privilege is required for the reason of having independent branches, if you left and then that could be taken away from you, you'd have civil war every four years.

00:25:11.000 Literal civil war.

00:25:11.000 Less tangent.

00:25:13.000 Can a new president?

00:25:16.000 When a president, past or present, invokes executive privilege, then that privilege applies to whatever it is he's invoked it on.

00:25:32.000 And it's not the authority of his advisors who are considered—the top advisors—we're considered alter egos of the president.

00:25:41.000 In other words, when they subpoena me, it's like subpoenaing The President.

00:25:44.000 So my point here, in terms of my situation is...

00:25:49.000 Trump invokes privilege, not my privilege to waive.

00:25:51.000 The committee does nothing to resolve that issue, and the next thing we know, they pass a resolution to hold both Dan Scavino and myself in contempt for failing to comply with the subpoena, and hijinks ensue.

00:26:11.000 Now, the funny part of the story, and it's a darkly comic in a brutal Authoritarian way is I live literally a field goal kick away from the FBI I mean, I was a field goal kicker in high school.

00:26:25.000 I could hit the FBI with it from my From my balcony in the building.

00:26:31.000 I'm in with a field goal.

00:26:33.000 That's how close they are yet What's what's what's a good field goal though?

00:26:37.000 How many yards we talking like 40 40 yards?

00:26:39.000 Yeah.

00:26:40.000 I mean it's just it's just right there right and so rather than What they should have done with me is call my attorney and arrange what they call a voluntary arrest.

00:26:55.000 This is a misdemeanor, right?

00:26:57.000 Just, hey, we've got an arrest warrant, come on down, we'll do the paperwork and, you know, you'll be out with no bail and, you know, we'll deal with this in the courts.

00:27:06.000 That's how it should have went.

00:27:08.000 And two days before they took me, I actually talked to the FBI agent And said, hey, whatever you need, I'm happy to cooperate with you guys.

00:27:18.000 And that same day, I'd sent a letter to the attorney at the Justice Department saying, hey, I'm looking for a modus vivendi here.

00:27:28.000 Call this attorney here.

00:27:30.000 I'm stuck between this rock and hard place.

00:27:32.000 So it's like peace, right?

00:27:34.000 Peace.

00:27:35.000 Peace, brother.

00:27:36.000 Peace.

00:27:37.000 You know why?

00:27:38.000 And so On that Friday, they let me leave my home across the street from them, go to Reagan Airport, sit for an hour in the boarding area, getting ready to go board a plane to Nashville to do Mike Huckabee's show.

00:27:56.000 And I go through, I do my gate ticket thing and walk into the jetway.

00:28:02.000 And the next thing I know, there's three armed agents behind me and two armed agents coming at me.

00:28:08.000 Right?

00:28:10.000 It's like they take my phone can't call an attorney put me in handcuffs

00:28:15.000 Take me down the jetway. And meanwhile as soon as that's happening. It was like

00:28:21.000 All the newspapers had been leaked, you know All the media had this leak but they kept me in solitary

00:28:29.000 Right, and I go I get fingerprinted I go and get leg irons strip-searched and

00:28:36.000 you know the One of the common things it's like they're walking me down

00:28:40.000 and this this guy young guy I got no problem with with the people who work at the

00:28:45.000 places They're just doing their job, unlike the FBI, which seems to enjoy doing that job too much.

00:28:51.000 You know, this guy's walking.

00:28:54.000 I'm supposed to be following him.

00:28:55.000 I'm in leg irons.

00:28:56.000 You ever try to walk in leg irons?

00:28:58.000 It's not easy, right?

00:29:00.000 And then they brought me down to the cell.

00:29:01.000 They take away my tie, because they think I'm going to hang myself, and my belt, because they think I'm going to hang myself.

00:29:07.000 And it's just like... Why'd they put you in leg irons?

00:29:13.000 We can't escape.

00:29:13.000 I think they wanted... It's bullying coercion.

00:29:17.000 Look, Tim, look.

00:29:18.000 I mean, you're a master sprinter.

00:29:20.000 You rival Usain Bolt.

00:29:21.000 He was a field goal kicker in high school.

00:29:22.000 I don't know if you guys understand, but this guy, man, is pure athleticism.

00:29:26.000 But they wanted the optics.

00:29:27.000 That's really what it is.

00:29:28.000 They wanted to show you... They wanted to bully, coerce me, and try to break me.

00:29:33.000 And look, it's like... These people are crooked as they come. 0.98

00:29:36.000 There's a concept called lawfare that we've been having to deal with in the Trump administration really big time.

00:29:43.000 It's like even if I'm never convicted and put in prison for two years, which is what they want to do, it's going to cost me well over a million dollars just to defend myself.

00:29:53.000 Over a misdemeanor.

00:29:55.000 Over a misdemeanor.

00:29:56.000 And I'm not one of the Wall Street guys who was in the Trump administration.

00:30:01.000 I was a college professor before I got here. 0.53

00:30:04.000 What the hell?

00:30:05.000 It's like, what's going on here, guys?

00:30:07.000 So you get the bigger issue, though, and I get back, look, the Taking Back Trump's America book, it's a mission for me, it's also my legal defense one, but we gotta get the House back.

00:30:17.000 We gotta get the House back in November.

00:30:19.000 I don't think it's bullying.

00:30:20.000 I don't think it's bullying.

00:30:21.000 Where do you think it is?

00:30:22.000 I think they want to send a message.

00:30:25.000 Yeah, no, I agree with that.

00:30:32.000 It's like, look, who wants to go into government service?

00:30:37.000 I mean, all I ever did was save lives and create jobs there.

00:30:41.000 Nobody ever accused me of doing anything but that.

00:30:46.000 From anyone who would want to work with Trump after seeing what they did to you should be to proudly assert they want to work with Trump and try 10 times harder to work with Trump in the next administration.

00:30:57.000 Make them realize when they do things like this, people will only become more resolved and stand up for what they believe in.

00:31:04.000 This is why the United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists.

00:31:08.000 This is what I learned doing all the hostile environment stuff, training with the overseas, like when you're dealing with terrorists.

00:31:17.000 Terrorists don't like, in many circumstances, to kidnap Americans.

00:31:21.000 Because the United States government will not negotiate at all.

00:31:23.000 They'll just send special forces or whatever to go and wipe them out and rescue the Americans, or the Americans die.

00:31:29.000 And so what ends up happening is typically, at least this is how it was a while ago, things change with ISIS.

00:31:36.000 An American gets kidnapped in the Middle East, they go, he's an American, leave, I don't want to deal with it. 0.99

00:31:40.000 But a German guy or a Spanish guy, those countries, they pay up instantly. 0.99

00:31:44.000 So what happens?

00:31:45.000 They're more likely to be kidnapped.

00:31:47.000 So the message you need to send when they do things like this, they want to scare you, make yourself stand up, be 10 times more resolved and say, okay, if you want to play these games, we're going to try twice as hard, 10 times as hard to stand up for what we believe in, work with Trump and take back America.

00:32:06.000 Couldn't agree with you more.

00:32:08.000 There's also just a very practical matter of taking back the House of Representatives and getting the investigatory powers in the hands of Republicans who will then send out the subpoenas to the FBI, to the Justice Department, to the National Archives, to the Democrats on Capitol Hill, to the White House.

00:32:30.000 I just, Tim, it's, this, this all stinks to high heaven.

00:32:36.000 I mean, this is like, this is like Banana Republic stuff where whoever's in power tries to punish and imprison Whoever was in power before so that they can't come back.

00:32:49.000 I mean, it's a it's a it's a story that's been going on for for hundreds of years in countries around the world.

00:32:57.000 We just never thought it could happen here.

00:32:59.000 Why do you think it's happening here?

00:33:00.000 I mean, at one point you were a Democrat, right?

00:33:02.000 Do you think that the party has fundamentally become flawed or what evolution has taken place?

00:33:10.000 Well, if you look at the Democrat Party itself, the Democrat Party that I associated with was blue-collar America.

00:33:21.000 It was the MAGA folks who want real wages and decent jobs rising.

00:33:30.000 The Democrat Party lost their way long, long, long ago.

00:33:33.000 I just want to pause real quick and be like, they were the party of slavery and Jim Crow and the Klan and all that stuff. 0.62

00:33:40.000 Well, there is that too.

00:33:41.000 They've had a lot of problems for a long time.

00:33:42.000 Look, I think probably all of us sitting around this table are more pragmatic, pragmatists rather than partisans.

00:33:52.000 When I registered as a Republican, I wanted to register as a Trump Republican.

00:33:57.000 Because I know what that means.

00:33:59.000 One of the cool things in the Taking Back Trump's America book is to walk through what I call the iron triangle of MAGA, right?

00:34:07.000 It's like, the RINOs love tax cuts. 1.00

00:34:12.000 They love deregulation.

00:34:13.000 Hey, Trump Republicans are on board with that.

00:34:16.000 Fine, fine.

00:34:18.000 Strategic energy dominance, that too.

00:34:20.000 Okay, what differentiates The Trump Republicans.

00:34:25.000 It's an end to endless wars.

00:34:28.000 It's secure borders.

00:34:30.000 And at the top of that triangle, or pyramid, It's fair trade and a level playing field so blue-collar manufacturing workers can compete against the sweatshops of Asia and the subsidies of Europe. 0.57

00:34:47.000 And that's what really Trump-Republicism means to me.

00:34:57.000 What is it?

00:34:58.000 Bill Parcells, NFL, you are what your record says you are.

00:35:01.000 Our record in the Trump administration, strip all the rhetoric away, says that we built the strongest economy in modern history.

00:35:08.000 Okay?

00:35:09.000 We have turned the strongest economy in modern history over to a regime which, and you folks are way too young to understand this, is a replay of the worst decade of the 20th century, which

00:35:22.000 is the 1970s.

00:35:24.000 In many ways the 70s uh...

00:35:27.000 were, they certainly rivaled the Great Depression years because just for the

00:35:32.000 sheer length of time They went on.

00:35:34.000 I mean, you can't imagine what it's like to have mortgage rates at 15%.

00:35:39.000 I mean, that's like—you'd say you're out of your mind tomorrow.

00:35:44.000 No, you go back in the 70s, and the misery index of Reagan was, you know, 10% unemployment rate, 10% interest rates.

00:35:54.000 And you were in the Reagan White House, right?

00:35:56.000 No?

00:35:56.000 No, I never was in.

00:35:57.000 You know, interestingly enough, and forgive me if I mention this, but I explain that back in the 80s when I was getting my PhD at Harvard, I did have a chance to do that.

00:36:12.000 There was a guy, Murray Weidenbaum, who was the Chairman of Economic Advisors.

00:36:20.000 And he invited me to be his speechwriter, essentially, because I did like op-eds back then, like in the Wall Street Journal, and it caught his eye.

00:36:30.000 But I decided that if I ever left Harvard, I'd never come back and finish, so I think I probably made the right choice, though.

00:36:39.000 I want to jump to this story from the post-millennial.

00:36:42.000 I want to talk to you guys about what Portland is becoming, what it is, and I guess why it's important that people get out and vote.

00:36:52.000 Not just in the congressional elections, but in your local elections as well.

00:36:56.000 The post-millennial reports, Portland street mob shoots at elderly driver accidentally kills one of their own.

00:37:03.000 Shocking videos emerge on social media showing scenes of a deadly and fiery chaos.

00:37:08.000 at lawless street occupations in Portland.

00:37:11.000 At one of the street racing takeovers on Sunday night near the Expo Center, attended by hundreds, an elderly man in a van appeared to be caught in the road before being violently attacked by an armed mob.

00:37:20.000 Video posted on social media shows that as he desperately attempted to reverse and drive away while being attacked, he backed into a car.

00:37:27.000 This is where things start getting crazy.

00:37:28.000 A man in the crowd then fires at least 18 rounds at the fleeing van.

00:37:32.000 A follow-up video shows the crowd catching up with the elderly man who had stopped on a patch of grass.

00:37:37.000 He appeared to be in shock and was bleeding heavily.

00:37:40.000 There were hundreds of people and cars in the area participating in an apparent illegal street takeover.

00:37:45.000 I want to show you this account.

00:37:47.000 It says, my boy's lifelong friend was killed last night at the street takeover.

00:37:51.000 There's a candlelight vigil tonight at 8 p.m.

00:37:53.000 at the Expo Center.

00:37:56.000 Please help get the word out, and please help get candles donated to the location at 8 if you're able to.

00:38:01.000 No BS.

00:38:01.000 Please respect the family.

00:38:02.000 This individual is Abolish Ice, Abolish Pigs. 0.98

00:38:05.000 Burn down the system, they say. 0.98

00:38:06.000 Love your friends.

00:38:07.000 Be anti-racist. 0.52

00:38:08.000 Don't F Nazis. 0.99

00:38:09.000 Black flags. 0.98

00:38:10.000 Clearly an Antifa individual in Portland.

00:38:13.000 What Andy was saying is a lot of these people supporting these takeovers are Antifa, they're leftists, they want the lawlessness, this is what you get.

00:38:21.000 But you know what?

00:38:22.000 For whatever reason, the people of Portland keep voting for it.

00:38:25.000 So I don't know if there is a way to change the minds of individuals who like that kind of scenario, because that, I wouldn't want to live anywhere near it.

00:38:33.000 But if that's the case, I don't see amending of this country in terms of the political divide, especially with how the FBI has been treating people.

00:38:40.000 It seems like An inevitability that there's, what, a national divorce?

00:38:45.000 A civil war or something like that?

00:38:47.000 Or maybe a revolution if one side doesn't actually stand up and vote.

00:38:52.000 Close to home here, just last week I was on a jog, as it were, on the mall and went up kind of the left side of the Capitol Hill walkway, right?

00:39:07.000 And it's a beautiful scene.

00:39:10.000 There's mothers there with kids in the carriages and just people having a good time.

00:39:15.000 The next thing I know, a hundred or more Guys come down on these motorized skateboards going 30-40 miles an hour with their helmets and Antifa-like gear.

00:39:37.000 I don't know if they were.

00:39:41.000 And it's a wonder somebody didn't get killed and so I got up to the top of the hill and the reason why I'm telling you this story is There's a motorcycle cop up there from the Capitol Hill Police and I go dude What the what what's going on here?

00:39:57.000 It's like how do you not do anything about that?

00:40:00.000 Isn't that your job?

00:40:02.000 and he tells me that they have orders directly from Pelosi and Bowser Not to do anything, okay?

00:40:13.000 Wow.

00:40:14.000 That's what's going on here, Tim.

00:40:18.000 They like it.

00:40:19.000 The other story that caught my eye was just this week in D.C., 16th Street, I think, somewhere in Northwest, an NFL player, okay, who has to look formidable, okay, an NFL player got shot by two kids With guns, 15 years old, they were trying to charge it.

00:40:46.000 I mean, it's like, why?

00:40:48.000 How does that happen if it's not because there's no law here in the District of Columbia or Portland or everywhere in between?

00:40:57.000 It's I mean, it happens to be these Democrat cities have the skyrocketing crime rates because That's how they roll.

00:41:08.000 I got no answers for that.

00:41:14.000 Do you think it's a cycle?

00:41:17.000 No, it's not a cycle.

00:41:20.000 I think it's cascading out of control.

00:41:24.000 Rudy Giuliani thing, when he was first coming onto the scene and came with the James Q. Wilson broken window theory, the idea that if you let one broken window go without repair, then you'll get a lot of broken windows.

00:41:40.000 No, my thought is that in democratic cities, being soft on crime gets you elected, but then you have a crime problem, but you can't suddenly be tough on crime because then you'll lose your seat, right?

00:41:51.000 I'm trying to find out who the heck these people are who are voting for these people.

00:41:59.000 Portland is a great city.

00:42:01.000 It used to be a great city.

00:42:02.000 I'll tell you how it works.

00:42:04.000 What is going on there, Tim?

00:42:06.000 You've got a better handle on this than I do.

00:42:08.000 I mean, people care more about social conformity than they do about the future of this country.

00:42:16.000 I think that's fairly obvious.

00:42:18.000 I think one of the problem with cities, and this is I believe an inevitability, I remember when I got wrongly pulled over in Chicago and I couldn't do anything about it.

00:42:26.000 What am I supposed to do?

00:42:27.000 Cop gave me a ticket and said, ha ha.

00:42:31.000 I wasn't speeding!

00:42:32.000 Didn't matter.

00:42:32.000 He said, tell it to a judge.

00:42:33.000 The judge said, go screw myself.

00:42:35.000 Under 21, my license got suspended.

00:42:37.000 So what happens then is, when you get cops that are using quota systems, or in Chicago it's real dark where they have black sites where they will arrest people and bring them without anyone knowing and beat them and things like that.

00:42:47.000 No joke, this stuff happens.

00:42:49.000 There was one guy who was electrocuting people to force confessions.

00:42:52.000 When you arrest people or give them tickets because you need to make money off them, you're criminalizing regular people who then demand that this stop.

00:43:01.000 And they say, we don't want this anymore.

00:43:04.000 We want the police to back off.

00:43:06.000 Then you get mayors who had elected and say, okay, police back off.

00:43:09.000 Then crime runs rampant.

00:43:11.000 It's a cycle.

00:43:12.000 It's a whirlpool of destruction.

00:43:15.000 This is the crazy thing about these ghost quota systems they claim they don't have.

00:43:19.000 We know they do it.

00:43:20.000 We know that in many jurisdictions there are regular people who are like, hey, it's the end of the month, better slow down. 0.97

00:43:26.000 That's a ridiculous notion.

00:43:27.000 But they want to make money. 0.67

00:43:29.000 They want to get money from the citations.

00:43:31.000 And then people say, I don't want to have cops around anymore.

00:43:34.000 When we talk about how the left wants to abolish police, and they have these

00:43:38.000 principal narratives.

00:43:39.000 A lot of their narratives, I think, are insane, right? We learned from, say, like,

00:43:42.000 I think it was the Washington Post, something like between nine and 19 unarmed black men were

00:43:47.000 shot in, like, 2019. Not thousands, like Black Lives Matter was trying to claim.

00:43:51.000 But I'm talking to my friend who lives in a, you know, in the Baltimore area,

00:43:55.000 and they were like, I don't care about any of that.

00:43:57.000 I want to get rid of the cops because they keep pulling us over on BS charges or BS claims and giving us tickets, and I'm like, okay, I have no argument for that.

00:44:04.000 Like, what am I supposed to say to them?

00:44:05.000 But Philadelphia did that, and they are having continued problems.

00:44:08.000 I mean, Philadelphia- Oh, and then it just falls apart.

00:44:10.000 So, look.

00:44:11.000 When people, what I hear from my suburbanite friends and the police is, I got pulled over for BS reasons and they gave me a ticket, I'm sick of the cops.

00:44:21.000 And maybe that's fine if you're in a low-crime, well-off suburb, but then when you start electing people who are like, yeah, we hate cops too, and start gutting them, you get what's going on in Portland, you get what's going on in New York, you get rampant violent crime, you get what's going on in D.C.

00:44:34.000 and Baltimore, and it's all getting worse, and then you know what these people who voted for it do?

00:44:38.000 They leave.

00:44:39.000 They leave and they come to your area and then say, okay, it's kind of nice here.

00:44:42.000 Then they get mad at the way things are being run and then they vote and get it again.

00:44:46.000 Well Portland, Portland breaks my heart and the idea this dual system of justice where you observe for over a hundred days I was in the administration during this they were just burning stuff down just breaking stuff down and then back to our FBI story I think there's a thread here it's like the two things I didn't mention which are on the FBI as well it's like The whole Gretchen Whitmer thing where they had more FBI informants trying to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer than they had a non-FBI informants.

00:45:25.000 And what was the motivation behind that?

00:45:27.000 You know when they broke that story, Tim?

00:45:29.000 I don't know if you remember, but it was in October, early October, right before the election.

00:45:34.000 And it was designed basically to tar Trump with the right wing brush.

00:45:38.000 It was an October surprise.

00:45:40.000 And on the January 6th day, we still don't know just why we had FBI informants.

00:45:49.000 Roaming near the Capitol, some of them on the grounds.

00:45:53.000 That still goes unexplained.

00:45:56.000 But what I do know is that that violence that happened was was led to Trump's impeachment.

00:46:05.000 So, I mean, something going on here.

00:46:08.000 Trump should have sent in the military during the 2020 riots.

00:46:13.000 I thought day two.

00:46:14.000 That's something I told Tim, actually, day two of the riots.

00:46:16.000 I was like, he's got to send in the National Guard.

00:46:18.000 What's happening?

00:46:18.000 Why is he not stopping?

00:46:19.000 I think it's the insurrection.

00:46:21.000 Don't forget who was the Secretary of Defense at the time. 0.98

00:46:29.000 It was the Mark Esper, Mark Milley show and those guys turned out to be clowns.

00:46:38.000 One of the tragedies of the first Trump term was all of the people who didn't belong there in powerful positions. 0.98

00:46:49.000 There is a part of me that's worried about people like Millie, you know, because I view them as deeply corrupt and insane individuals, but I also thought about, I'm like, well, they're cowards too, so I really have nothing to worry about. 0.60

00:47:00.000 They can't do anything. 0.68

00:47:02.000 Here's why you should worry.

00:47:03.000 They're killing our combat readiness.

00:47:05.000 Well, that's true, though.

00:47:05.000 To the extent that you divert your attention and resources and organizational culture away from combat readiness, And the development of the next generation of defensive weapons to protect us against Russia and China and instead Go down all the roads they've gone down It's it's a very very damaging thing.

00:47:30.000 I mean the the the military is in in deep Deep trouble right now, morale-wise, combat readiness-wise, and everything in between.

00:47:41.000 And it's because of people like Milley and feckless defense secretaries like Esper. 1.00

00:47:48.000 I mean, to me, it's like, Esper, what the hell? 0.97

00:47:52.000 Why'd you keep the National Guard far enough away that they couldn't be quickly deployed when you damn well knew That there could be violence that day. 0.76

00:48:00.000 Is it on purpose?

00:48:01.000 Well, that's, that's, that's the working theory.

00:48:04.000 Trying to gut the United States.

00:48:05.000 One working theory is, is that Pelosi told the Capitol Hill police to go lightly, open the barricades under duress if you needed to.

00:48:15.000 The FBI put, put agitators in there and Milley and Esper kept the National Guard far enough away that they couldn't come to the rescue in time.

00:48:25.000 Yep.

00:48:25.000 Do you think Trump should have gotten rid of them earlier?

00:48:28.000 And, you know, they blame Trump for whatever happened, and those things happen.

00:48:32.000 So put it all together.

00:48:33.000 Yep.

00:48:35.000 Yeah.

00:48:36.000 You know, like Occam's razor, the simplest explanation is usually the right one.

00:48:42.000 And, um.

00:48:43.000 Do you think Trump should have gotten rid of them earlier?

00:48:45.000 Do you think he would, should have removed them?

00:48:46.000 There's, um, there's an old, uh, saying in, in, um, the Reagan administration that

00:48:53.000 personnel is policy, right?

00:48:56.000 Meaning that if you put the wrong people in, you're going to get the wrong policies reflected in your administration.

00:49:02.000 The Taking Back Trump's America book takes that a step further.

00:49:06.000 It's that bad personnel not only create bad policy, but bad politics.

00:49:11.000 And I go in the Taking Back Trump's America book, I go chapter and verse from The beginning, where the original sin of that administration was to get in bed with the rhinos, and then we got people like Tillerson at State, we got Mattis at Defense, we had Gary Cohn, Goldman Sachs guy of all people, leading the economic policy.

00:49:34.000 Inside the White House. We lose Mike Flynn to the Russia hoax Russia gate thing and we wind up with the globalist

00:49:35.000 529. 0.96

00:49:42.000 HR McMaster and and which it was just I mean It's a cabinet of clowns and it's just it just really took

00:49:50.000 its toll and at the back fine Yeah, go ahead 529. You remember that five 0.68

00:49:56.000 529?

00:49:56.000 No, what's that?

00:49:57.000 There's a subcommittee for that, I don't know.

00:49:57.000 Ah, yes.

00:49:57.000 Yes, yes.

00:50:00.000 Maybe there should be.

00:50:00.000 The insurrection on 529 when the far left tried storming the White House and set fire to St. John's Church.

00:50:05.000 Ah, yes.

00:50:05.000 Yeah, the 529 insurrection.

00:50:07.000 Yes.

00:50:07.000 Yeah, see the issue is...

00:50:09.000 There's a subcommittee for that.

00:50:10.000 There's a subcommittee.

00:50:11.000 Yeah, maybe there should be.

00:50:13.000 There should be.

00:50:13.000 So Donald Trump and law enforcement stopped that insurrection when they set fire to a guard post when I think it was what,

00:50:22.000 like 70?

00:50:23.000 Was it 70 federal agents were injured in the rioting?

00:50:26.000 And more, it was like hundreds total throughout several days.

00:50:30.000 The smoke, all... Well, no, the issue is that this is the way things work in the victim, in fifth generational warfare, I'll put it that way.

00:50:39.000 On 5-29, Trump stopped an insurrection, so who cares?

00:50:44.000 On 1-6, no one stopped a quote-unquote insurrection, so it's endless news.

00:50:49.000 And instead of blaming law enforcement for their failure, they blame the individuals who went there.

00:50:54.000 And I'm not talking about the people who were actually violent and rioting, by all means, you know, charge and arrest those people.

00:50:59.000 I'm talking about the people who walked in confused, and the barricades were open, the doors were open, and didn't see violence, and just were led in by cops taking selfies with people.

00:51:06.000 They get blamed.

00:51:07.000 If Donald Trump on 529 said to the police and law enforcement, stand down and back off.

00:51:14.000 We don't want anyone getting hurt because we'll get blamed for it.

00:51:17.000 Let those people tear the fences down at the White House. 0.80

00:51:20.000 Trump would be president right now.

00:51:22.000 The narrative would be that the far-left has gone insane, they've crossed the line, they burned down buildings, but Trump stopped them.

00:51:27.000 So there is no narrative about far-left violence.

00:51:30.000 Whenever the far-left goes out of control, they punch people, they beat people, the media doesn't cover it.

00:51:34.000 The only time there was ever a really big national story was when Andy Ngo was brutally beaten in the street and they had no choice because the photos were horrific.

00:51:42.000 But you see, the right always tries to stop the left from going out of control.

00:51:47.000 And then if the right ever, ever puts one toe over the line, the media screams Screams on top of their lungs.

00:51:55.000 So that's, that's, that's, it's that simple.

00:51:57.000 And I can only assume that Pelosi and the Democrats understand that.

00:52:02.000 That when, there's a video of a guy, he's watching January 6th happen.

00:52:07.000 People are going in the building and he looks at the cops and he goes, stop them!

00:52:09.000 Why aren't you doing anything?

00:52:10.000 And the cops don't care.

00:52:12.000 They just stand there.

00:52:13.000 Makes you wonder, not that I know for sure, but I tell you this, there were barely any cops there when there were hundreds of thousands of people that were down there in D.C.

00:52:22.000 Why did they let these people do this?

00:52:25.000 There were some cops there trying to stop them, that I get, but seriously?

00:52:30.000 The seat of the federal government could not stop 800 people from walking through a building? 0.99

00:52:37.000 Is America that pathetic? 0.98

00:52:40.000 That the federal government had no ability. 1.00

00:52:42.000 Okay, if the federal government is that weak, that pathetic, and that ineffective, this country is already doomed. 0.98

00:52:51.000 800 people showed up and we were helpless to stop them. 0.95

00:52:53.000 That's the narrative of the January 6th committee. 0.98

00:52:56.000 That the federal government has become feckless, weak, pathetic, and ineffective. 0.94

00:52:59.000 So my response is, okay, if they can't stop 800 people from walking through a building and they're carrying sticks, maybe we should strip them all of their funding because it's a big fat waste of money. 0.97

00:53:09.000 And then, I don't know what we do.

00:53:10.000 Hire private companies to handle security in and around the district, I guess.

00:53:14.000 Because they certainly couldn't stop it.

00:53:16.000 Amazing, huh?

00:53:18.000 Well, I remember after 529-2, everyone was like, Trump got shuttled to a bunker. 1.00

00:53:22.000 He's such a coward. 0.98

00:53:23.000 Like, all the media was against us. 1.00

00:53:25.000 And it's like, what are you talking about?

00:53:26.000 We said all of Congress, like, a couple months later, and it made sense, right?

00:53:30.000 They laughed when Trump was- The narrative was that Trump was weak for going to the bunker, which is just security protocol.

00:53:35.000 But then we got all those soundbites from AOC telling us how terrified she was and someone banged on her door, which wasn't even true.

00:53:41.000 She made that up.

00:53:41.000 Yeah.

00:53:42.000 Well, I mean, someone probably banged on her door, but the whole story... Not like in the context that she thinks it was, though.

00:53:46.000 Yeah, she lied.

00:53:47.000 You know, AOC lied about what happened on January 6th.

00:53:50.000 She fabricated a story claiming that I thought I was gonna die because they made it to my office, even though her story happened an hour before the Capitol was breached. 0.98

00:53:57.000 These people are sick duplicitous. 0.99

00:54:00.000 I would argue... 0.98

00:54:01.000 It is the simpler solution that elements of the federal government told law enforcement

00:54:07.000 to back off as opposed to assuming the federal government is unable to stop 800 people.

00:54:13.000 That's an insane notion.

00:54:14.000 It's two wins and a loss for whoever told the military to stand down on January.

00:54:20.000 I mean, they were stood down whether they were ordered to or not.

00:54:23.000 I don't know, but they weren't there.

00:54:25.000 They weren't stopping us because they didn't want the optics of a bunch of military breaking people's faces, getting into fights, opening fire maybe on the crowd, although Ashley Babbitt was opened fire upon.

00:54:34.000 They also would have an opportunity then to claim like, we were being attacked, we need more funding for defense, which is a big win.

00:54:40.000 But the downside is, if they actually betrayed us and didn't defend our capital, that's a big down, that's a big problem.

00:54:48.000 And the idea is, this is what I always see in the memes, this is what they have to do.

00:54:53.000 They have to conflate anyone who opposes the Democratic establishment and the Uniparty with Trump.

00:54:59.000 Michael Malice and Dave Smith are great examples of this.

00:55:05.000 And it's a meme now, that if you come out and say something about Biden, they respond by saying, oh yeah, but Trump.

00:55:12.000 And so you can literally be like, You know, Biden did a bad job here, and they're like, yeah, well, Trump did a bad job here, and you can go, yeah, okay, I don't care, I don't like Trump, and they still will treat you like you're a Trump supporter.

00:55:22.000 Hunter Biden could have the bodies of children in his basement, but Trump- Did you see this Sam Harris thing?

00:55:27.000 You know Sam Harris, podcaster?

00:55:29.000 Yeah.

00:55:29.000 He said, Hunter Biden could have the corpses of children in his basement and I would not care.

00:55:34.000 Nothing on that laptop would have changed my mind.

00:55:37.000 And then he says, nothing there would be worse than Trump University. 0.92

00:55:41.000 And that's how deranged, deranged these people are.

00:55:45.000 That, let's say the worst case scenario, that Trump University, all that stuff is all true. 0.82

00:55:49.000 That Trump had a fake university and defrauded people.

00:55:52.000 Oh heavens.

00:55:53.000 Sure, would be bad.

00:55:55.000 But then, to ignore the fact that Hunter Biden is shown colluding with foreign interests, potentially involving his father, who's the president, assuming... Sam, you're saying that's not worse? 0.93

00:56:05.000 These people are deranged, literally.

00:56:08.000 They are afflicted with something. 0.99

00:56:09.000 They're out of their minds. 0.79

00:56:11.000 I think it would have been better if there was nothing about crack, nothing about sex whatsoever at all on the Hunter Biden laptop. 0.91

00:56:21.000 And allowed us just to focus on the real pornography, which was the treason to this country.

00:56:27.000 I mean, that thing hit me so close to home because I spent four years in the White House trying to get manufacturing jobs back from China, factories back from China.

00:56:39.000 And Hunter's going over there, leveraging the power of Daddy to get a billion dollars from the Chinese to buy factories in Michigan and ship them back over there. 0.92

00:56:48.000 That's the true obscenity.

00:56:51.000 And to your point, Tim, Sam, I don't know who these people are, but I don't know the mindset.

00:56:56.000 The mindset is that's the way they think, so that's the way they want everybody else to think.

00:57:02.000 And that's how they use the media.

00:57:04.000 They try to shape the narrative in a way I think it's the other way around.

00:57:11.000 I think they assume that's what other people think.

00:57:13.000 Therefore, they're saying what they think they have to say.

00:57:16.000 I think it's an ends justify the means.

00:57:22.000 In the Taking Back Trump's America book there's a whole section on the media and the theme about it is daily control to dominate the news cycle.

00:57:32.000 If you're in the White House you understand that that's your mission every day in the White House if you're in the press corps, right?

00:57:39.000 You want to dominate the news cycle in a way which makes your guy look favorable, right?

00:57:45.000 And what we fought every day was a media willing to take whatever news there was and misinformationalize it.

00:57:56.000 You know, they put it in their blender, right?

00:58:00.000 And there might be like a story in Neutral Times which would be the number one story.

00:58:07.000 There might be the top three stories. 0.66

00:58:09.000 And those wouldn't be the ones that we'd see every day.

00:58:11.000 We'd see Only the ones that would be able to either put Biden in a good light or Trump in a bad light or both.

00:58:20.000 And to me, it's just an ends justify the means departure from any kind of morality or ethics.

00:58:31.000 And the funny part is, and it's tragic, Social victory above anything else.

00:58:37.000 It's not about a good economy, it's not about having food, it's not about healthcare, it's about saying I won.

00:58:42.000 I guess they don't care.

00:58:44.000 I mean, can they not hold...

00:58:46.000 Social victory above anything else.

00:58:48.000 It's not about a good economy.

00:58:50.000 It's not about having food.

00:58:52.000 It's not about health care. It's about saying I won.

00:58:54.000 The they you're talking about though are the ones that aren't hurt by this.

00:58:58.000 No, no, no. I'm talking about the regular voters.

00:59:01.000 You think?

00:59:02.000 Look, not every single person, obviously, but when I look to the people I know in my life who voted for Joe Biden, they're staring at record gas prices.

00:59:15.000 No remorse.

00:59:16.000 No remorse!

00:59:17.000 Remember what Bill Maher said?

00:59:20.000 Remember what Bill Maher said?

00:59:22.000 If a recession stops, Trump, bring on a recession.

00:59:25.000 Actually calling for pain and suffering of working class people. 1.00

00:59:29.000 And the best part is, right now with this student debt forgiveness thing, seeing these people on the left be like, we need to get student debt forgiveness, it's about the working class.

00:59:38.000 And I'm like, bro, College degree holders are not the working class, they're the bourgeoisie. 0.96

00:59:42.000 That's what Marx talked about.

00:59:44.000 They're the laptop class.

00:59:46.000 These people are the highest income earners in this country, thinking they're the oppressed minorities.

00:59:51.000 It's true, though. 0.82

00:59:52.000 Yeah, I'll use that, the laptop class.

00:59:54.000 Well, that's what it is.

00:59:55.000 That's what it is.

00:59:56.000 That's exactly right.

00:59:58.000 They're, they're deserving of all of this.

01:00:01.000 Meanwhile, there's a guy who's making half the salary they get writing articles about Brad Pitt's junk and he's actually doing something for society.

01:00:09.000 You got working class people who build things, who clean things, who fix things. 0.99

01:00:13.000 And then you got people who are like arts degree holders who are like, the government should pay off my, my debts.

01:00:19.000 Yeah, okay, dude.

01:00:20.000 It's not the government, though.

01:00:21.000 It's me.

01:00:22.000 They're asking the taxpayers to do it.

01:00:23.000 When they conflate the government is paying for it with the taxpayers are paying for it, I get really annoyed.

01:00:28.000 But I had an idea.

01:00:30.000 I don't think we can continue to function with people who... Look, I don't like the idea of people taking out loans and then being like, I'm not going to pay them back.

01:00:37.000 But I also don't like the idea of how the interest rates have made it so that somebody who takes out a $30,000 loan ends up paying back $100,000.

01:00:43.000 That's insane.

01:00:44.000 So here's my idea.

01:00:45.000 How about we do this?

01:00:46.000 We'll forgive your loans, but you've got to do four hours per week of community service at your own discretion, signed off on by a non-profit or a church.

01:00:53.000 We credit you $50 an hour for that community service, and so long as you're engaged in that once per week, your loans are frozen and can only go down.

01:01:02.000 How does that sound?

01:01:04.000 Sounds good.

01:01:04.000 I still want them to be able to... I want them to be able to make it easier to declare bankruptcy on student loans.

01:01:10.000 That's a good point, too.

01:01:11.000 I think the fact that we tell 18-year-olds the only way to succeed in this country is to get a degree that's worth an insane amount of money because we made it so you have to... that will cost you.

01:01:20.000 Right, right.

01:01:21.000 Worth.

01:01:22.000 It's not worth much.

01:01:23.000 Chris Carr, please edit me live.

01:01:25.000 Return on investment tends to be negative.

01:01:28.000 Exactly.

01:01:28.000 You're going to have to pay an insane amount of money.

01:01:30.000 The only way to do that is to go into debt the second you're an adult, and then we're going to continue to charge that forever.

01:01:36.000 And by the way, there's no way to get out of this unlike any other loan.

01:01:38.000 Like, it's just an insane system.

01:01:40.000 Why would you ever think this is a good idea?

01:01:42.000 Except for the fact that you can trap people who are desperate to try and pursue this idea that college gives you an opportunity, which in this country at this point, it really does not.

01:01:50.000 It did until about 2006, when you could study online.

01:01:53.000 I think before that.

01:01:54.000 Maybe before that.

01:01:55.000 I just think that the bachelor's degree is an oversaturated market, and so now we have to drive everyone to get their master's, which is farther in student debt, which you can't declare bankruptcy on, and just goes on and on and on and on.

01:02:04.000 It's the opposite.

01:02:04.000 It's the opposite, actually.

01:02:06.000 What happened is people who have degrees are too expensive and don't have real-world experience. 0.96

01:02:11.000 Man, I saw this when I was 18, and I kept telling my friends, it's a trap.

01:02:15.000 But they didn't believe me.

01:02:16.000 Now they're all really angry that they can't pay off their debt.

01:02:19.000 But it's this simple.

01:02:20.000 If Ian comes to me and he's like, I make music.

01:02:24.000 And I say, okay, Ian, prove that you can make music.

01:02:26.000 And he goes, here's a piece of paper signed off on by an expensive institution that says I learned how to make music.

01:02:32.000 What am I supposed to do with that?

01:02:34.000 Some homeless guy could walk up and be like, I make music.

01:02:36.000 And I'll be like, prove it to me.

01:02:37.000 And he'll go, oh, McDonald's had a farm.

01:02:39.000 And I'll be like, well, he's singing.

01:02:41.000 He's a good singer too.

01:02:42.000 That's more valuable to me than your certified piece of paper.

01:02:46.000 Yeah.

01:02:46.000 I mean, the joke is online that you get your bachelor's degree and then you apply for an entry-level job and they're like, do you have five years of professional experience?

01:02:54.000 Because it doesn't mean anything.

01:02:55.000 But think about the kind of person you'd have to be to walk into that trap.

01:02:59.000 Trusting.

01:03:00.000 And that's unfortunate.

01:03:02.000 I'm not comfortable with charging taxpayers money to pay back Sally Mae for people's loans.

01:03:15.000 I do not want to do that again.

01:03:16.000 They did it in 2008.

01:03:17.000 Obama paid back and bailed those companies out.

01:03:19.000 I do not want to bail them out again in the guise of a loan repayment.

01:03:23.000 If they want to negate Sallie Mae's books and say you're worth 580 billion less now and these people are not giving you that 10 grand back each, that's another story.

01:03:33.000 Whether or not it bankrupts Sallie Mae, I don't know.

01:03:36.000 Maybe that's not even the worst thing in the world.

01:03:37.000 I'm sure they would say, oh, that would destroy the entire economy if you bankrupted Sallie Mae. 0.97

01:03:41.000 We can't allow that.

01:03:41.000 We need to bankrupt you instead.

01:03:43.000 I don't like it.

01:03:44.000 What is your thoughts?

01:03:45.000 I mean, you're an economist.

01:03:46.000 What are your thoughts on this?

01:03:49.000 If you're going to go to college these days, you might want to think about STEM, STEM education, science, technology.

01:04:01.000 It's the key to getting a decent job.

01:04:05.000 The liberal arts, okay, the liberal arts are the liberal arts.

01:04:09.000 I majored in English.

01:04:11.000 I am okay with saying it's not a key way to employment.

01:04:13.000 I think what you want to do right now To educate yourself is download a survival guide, learn how to raise livestock, and some rudimentary engineering.

01:04:24.000 Because even Mark Ruffalo, in an interview about whether or not he's going to be the Hulk, he was like, well, the way things are going, hopefully I'm still around and there's a world that can exist to do this.

01:04:35.000 So even he's kind of thinking, maybe this is all going to implode and the world's going to end.

01:04:39.000 I mean, the paradigm has shifted with the access to online education.

01:04:43.000 I remember back when I was at University of California, Irvine, teaching back in the 90s.

01:04:47.000 I was actually one of the first pioneers of online education back then.

01:04:55.000 People inside the university were totally against it because it basically gave direct access to students in a cheap way and it threatened the whole tenure paradigm and things like that.

01:05:10.000 And so I think today there's a lot less need for the kind of four-year college thing that people do.

01:05:19.000 I mean just go, there's so much you can learn online and be done with that.

01:05:25.000 And I always felt bad that these people would take on these huge loans.

01:05:28.000 I mean it's in a lot of ways it's a scam and you know my professor elites I mean, we had it pretty good, right?

01:05:35.000 You know, you kick back and you don't pay as much attention to teaching as you should and things like that.

01:05:42.000 I'd see this among my colleagues.

01:05:44.000 Just, I mean, we're not, we didn't do, the Academy has not done its duty to our young people and we get what we get.

01:05:54.000 Yeah.

01:05:56.000 You know, you folks, I mean, I'm talking, I'm an old guy, I'm talking to a very young demographic here.

01:06:02.000 It's a very different world you're growing up in.

01:06:04.000 Back when I was your age, I went to an antique store.

01:06:08.000 We had the dream, we could get the good job, the picket fence, the house, the car, and this, that, and the other

01:06:14.000 thing.

01:06:15.000 And that's both not within reach for a lot of people and really not their dream anymore, which is interesting in and

01:06:23.000 of itself.

01:06:24.000 I went to an antique store. They had an old radio, it was very, very big.

01:06:28.000 It was like three and a half feet tall.

01:06:30.000 Yeah.

01:06:30.000 Two feet wide and the knobs on it were like tiny and there was a wheel that would click you know to like you're spinning through the frequencies or whatever and the funny thing is I thought about I'm like when this thing was sold the guy who sold it that was all he did.

01:06:45.000 He worked quite literally at a radio store and he fed a family of four Yeah.

01:06:50.000 Yeah.

01:06:50.000 had two cars and he went on vacations and all he did was sell radios to people.

01:06:56.000 Now that's crazy, huh?

01:06:58.000 Today both parents are working full time and neither can afford anything.

01:07:02.000 Yeah.

01:07:03.000 No, it's, um, and look, the concern I have as an economist and as somebody who is concerned

01:07:12.000 about the prosperity of this country is whatever our educational system is today, it's simply

01:07:18.000 not delivering competitive individuals in a global marketplace.

01:07:22.000 I mean, it's just not.

01:07:23.000 No, it's not.

01:07:24.000 It's just not.

01:07:25.000 And we spend more on education, I think, than any country in the world and we get less But would you say that our education is overpriced?

01:07:34.000 I mean, I think there are so many things that we could do to cut down on it if we really wanted to have everyone graduate from college.

01:07:41.000 I think the only reason why they do the four-year thing is because there's a football season or something like that.

01:07:46.000 Yeah, because the first two years you spend doing general credits.

01:07:48.000 There needs to be the total revolution in education and put the hands of learning in the hands of people.

01:08:00.000 Well, let's talk about that.

01:08:02.000 So, you know, you're talking about the power of the internet, people's ability to speak, but I'm going to jump to the story as kind of a hard segue.

01:08:09.000 Post Millennial reports Truth Social banned from Google App Store over content moderation.

01:08:14.000 A Google spokesperson said that Truth Social lacks content moderation needed to meet Google Play's terms of service.

01:08:22.000 According to The Hill, the spokesperson said that Truth lacks... Okay, so they wrote that twice.

01:08:26.000 This comes after TruthSocial's CEO Devin Nunes claimed last week that the Android version of the platform's app is ready, waiting only on Google's approval.

01:08:34.000 On August 19th, we notified TruthSocial of several violations of standard policies in their current app submission and reiterated that having effective systems for moderating user-generated content is a condition of our terms for any app to go live on Google Play.

01:08:47.000 Yeah.

01:08:47.000 Google is reportedly particularly concerned about violations of its policies prohibiting

01:08:51.000 content with physical threats and incitement to violence.

01:08:54.000 So this is a really interesting story because it's just the next link in the chain of censorship.

01:09:00.000 And if we're talking about people's ability to learn because of the Internet, they're

01:09:03.000 clearly trying to stop that.

01:09:05.000 Well, but the thing I thought you were going towards is if we're going to have a curriculum

01:09:13.000 on the Internet and they can control what's in that curriculum, then that's just one more

01:09:19.000 step towards that globalist woke nirvana they seem to be wanting to drag in this entire

01:09:26.000 So there is that trap.

01:09:29.000 That was a tough one.

01:09:33.000 Whoever is going to be the next Secretary of the Department of Education, Needs a vision somewhere somewhere along the line, but this bigger issue of the the social media conglomerates You know I get back to the FBI working hand-in-hand with Twitter Facebook and by the way, there's a there's a there's a there's a fascinating funny Tragic story in the taking back Trump's America book as to how Twitter and Facebook wound up being so aggressive against Trump in 2020 I don't know if you guys know this

01:10:07.000 But after Trump won the election in 2016, Brad Parscale, who was at that point during the 2016 campaign the social media director, he became the campaign manager in 2020, he goes on 60 Minutes And in the big reveal, as he's claiming victory for the Trump victory through his manipulation of social media, he reveals that Twitter and Facebook had employees inside the Trump campaign actively trying to help the Trump campaign message, right?

01:10:45.000 And as soon as that news hit, all hell broke loose.

01:10:49.000 across this country, and particularly in Silicon Valley.

01:10:52.000 And it was at that point where Jack Dorsey of Twitter, Zuckerberg of Facebook, Pichai at Google said, not in 2020!

01:11:06.000 And it's very clear now, in hindsight, that social media did everything they could to skew that election in favor of Biden and against Trump.

01:11:19.000 And that's a really powerful thing.

01:11:22.000 I'll just throw it to Andrew Breitbart again.

01:11:29.000 I think he's the one who said politics is downstream from culture.

01:11:33.000 And then you look at social media censorship.

01:11:37.000 A large component of that is inhibiting the ability of a culture to form and develop.

01:11:42.000 Banning Alex Jones, banning Milo Yiannopoulos and people like Laura Loomer because they were

01:11:47.000 influential, because they were having an impact on culture so they had to be erased. Truth social.

01:11:53.000 This is a really good example.

01:11:55.000 I was saying for a long time that Trump should have gotten off of Twitter, launched his own platform, or used Minds or Gab or something like that.

01:12:01.000 And he didn't do it.

01:12:02.000 Until recently with the launch of Truth Social.

01:12:05.000 But this is actually a good example of probably why he didn't.

01:12:07.000 They just banned the entire app outright.

01:12:11.000 They didn't just ban one person.

01:12:12.000 Google said we will ban every single person all at once.

01:12:17.000 Because they want to control what is allowed to be said.

01:12:19.000 And they want to limit the appearance of Trump's influence in culture.

01:12:23.000 They don't want him to be able to influence culture, I would say, especially heading into midterms.

01:12:27.000 Yep.

01:12:30.000 I'm a big Getter fan.

01:12:31.000 I call Getter the Twitter killer.

01:12:33.000 And one of the things that's been really interesting about getting on Getter, it has all the functionality of Twitter with a lot more elegance and livestream capabilities.

01:12:42.000 But what I'll do is I'll post identical content on Twitter and on Getter and then watch what happens.

01:12:52.000 And what you see is the shadow banning that Twitter does.

01:12:57.000 You can have exactly the same amount of followers on both platforms.

01:13:04.000 And you get much more social engagement on Getter because of the algorithms that lay deep

01:13:12.000 inside the Twitter autocracy.

01:13:15.000 And you would never be able to detect that unless you had Getter.

01:13:21.000 Doing the same content.

01:13:22.000 I mean, it's really kind of scary, right?

01:13:25.000 And it's been interesting.

01:13:26.000 A couple of times I've tweeted on Twitter about this, and I guess the twit sensors are active shadow banning.

01:13:37.000 And for a little time after that, things got a little better.

01:13:41.000 It's scary that that's the way it works.

01:13:44.000 And remember, Tim, it's like when Zuckerberg's talking about how he was able to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop, it was like he was explaining he did it through algorithms, which would suppress the information from coming up to the top layers.

01:14:05.000 So they know how to do this.

01:14:07.000 And that's like the evil genius of these people.

01:14:11.000 They really know—I mean, this is Goebbels in the 21st century here.

01:14:18.000 They're really good at what they do, and that's scary.

01:14:21.000 The way it was explained to me is that they want to make sure people who support Trump are still active.

01:14:28.000 Because when you censor people, it causes splashes.

01:14:31.000 They don't want people to go together or truth social or whatever.

01:14:34.000 They want them to stay where they are.

01:14:36.000 And they're worried that if they make too big of moves, it will cause a ruckus.

01:14:40.000 But they also want to censor just enough to put it at a disadvantage so the left wins.

01:14:48.000 So it's basically like you got two people running a race.

01:14:51.000 One person's pretty fast, one person's kind of slow.

01:14:53.000 So what do you do?

01:14:54.000 You crack one person in the foot and then they can't race as well, but they're still there. 1.00

01:14:58.000 They're still running, but they just can't make it.

01:15:00.000 That's kind of the idea with how they're handling censorship.

01:15:02.000 They don't mind certain channels that exist so long as the more influential ones get hobbled.

01:15:07.000 I think that's right.

01:15:08.000 I think that's right.

01:15:10.000 Did you always, you use Getter as your alternative platform?

01:15:15.000 Interesting, Getter, I think it launched in July over a year ago and what you saw was the collapse of Twitter stock.

01:15:32.000 Which is really, if you look at it, I mean Twitter is in many ways a dying company.

01:15:36.000 It's like for Elon Musk to go in and buy it, it's like there were people On my side of the fence who thought that was a good idea.

01:15:44.000 Oh, we're gonna liberate Twitter, but in fact Twitter was dying Okay, it's like because because other platforms were coming on that that really did it its job better without the censorship So, yeah, I don't know how that how that game will play out but It's so the other thing that that that's so embedded now If you go to like a newspaper article In the mainstream media, right?

01:16:13.000 And you want to do something with it.

01:16:16.000 Facebook and Twitter.

01:16:17.000 Facebook and Twitter have the monopoly on that.

01:16:21.000 So that builds.

01:16:22.000 So, I mean, I think we need to build an alternative information infrastructure that we can use freely without censorship.

01:16:36.000 But boy, is that a lot of work.

01:16:38.000 Yeah, we're building that now, actually.

01:16:40.000 Well, we're building a lot of stuff.

01:16:41.000 I think, oh man, it's a depressing, monumental task, what it feels like right now, because you can't break up Facebook.

01:16:48.000 Break up Facebook, you're going to have Facebook Messenger, Facebook Prime, Instagram.

01:16:52.000 You're going to have all these separate companies.

01:16:53.000 Zuckerberg's going to still own them all.

01:16:54.000 He's still going to have all the code, and the monopoly is still going to be there.

01:16:57.000 So I think the only way to do it, or at least the best way to do it, is to make them free their software code.

01:17:02.000 You force them to open up their algorithms so that other people can not only watch, What they're shadow banning, if they're shadow banning it, what they're tweaking, if they're tweaking, but that you can actually take it and spin up your own version of the website that interoperates with their site.

01:17:16.000 So like, if I'm on Facebook, I can see people that have your version of it.

01:17:19.000 If I'm on your version of it, I can see people on Facebook, but there's like, now there's competition, but it's becomes less competition of code, more competition of terms of service.

01:17:28.000 So what system has the best terms of service?

01:17:30.000 Which one's screwing you over the least?

01:17:32.000 And people will migrate there.

01:17:34.000 I mean, one good thing about the Musk thing with this lawsuit is that he may have subpoena power or deposition power to get to the truth about what they actually do.

01:17:48.000 And that'll be fascinating.

01:17:50.000 Whether he buys the platform or not.

01:17:52.000 Yes.

01:17:52.000 Now in this suit, discovery is a possibility.

01:17:56.000 Yes.

01:17:56.000 They're not going to like that.

01:17:57.000 They're not gonna like that at all because because they got stuff to hide

01:18:00.000 Yeah, he's he's subpoenaed Jack Dorsey. He's a peanut this whistleblower. I mean a whistleblower came out. So

01:18:06.000 Even if he doesn't win, well, actually him winning means him not buying Twitter. So I would hope he loses, you know

01:18:15.000 You want him to buy it?

01:18:16.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:18:18.000 I'd just as soon see it as roadkill on the getter and true social superhighway.

01:18:25.000 I think Elon Musk taking over would be a good thing, though.

01:18:29.000 Well, let me challenge you on that, because I've had this debate with a couple of pro-Musk folks.

01:18:36.000 Here's what bothers me about Elon Musk, and it's a death blow.

01:18:41.000 That SOB took all his money and went over to communist China, and he's building Teslas.

01:18:50.000 Yep.

01:18:51.000 And his entire future is dependent on one whim of Xi Jinping, okay? 0.99

01:18:59.000 So he's got to kiss China's butt every single day of the week. 0.99

01:19:04.000 And he does. 1.00

01:19:05.000 And as long as he's doing that, That's not good for America, and by the way, that's why he's not as warm to Trump, okay?

01:19:16.000 He doesn't love Trump, because Trump is the one guy, he wants to find some Republican he can embrace that won't shut his Tesla companies down, come as China.

01:19:28.000 The wealthy elites are hedging their bets with China.

01:19:30.000 That's what they've been doing.

01:19:31.000 They've been buying money, putting property there, but it's all basically saying, swearing fealty to Xi Jinping.

01:19:38.000 Because at any moment he could take those factories from you.

01:19:40.000 Snap his fingers.

01:19:40.000 I gotta talk to you about repositioning the United States as the top industrial power on Earth.

01:19:45.000 I mentioned at the beginning of the show that we can recapture carbon from the atmosphere.

01:19:49.000 We're gonna start mining the carbon dioxide out of the air and the methane out of the air, turning it into carbon dioxide.

01:19:53.000 Depositing it onto different metals, palladium, gold, copper, or putting it through other chemicals to turn it into graphene, which is pure carbon, hexagonally latticed, like a honeycomb lattice, single layer of carbon, pure carbon.

01:20:07.000 And it's conductive, like more conductive than copper.

01:20:10.000 It's stronger than steel.

01:20:11.000 You can make touchscreen wallpaper out of it.

01:20:13.000 You can make clothing out of it.

01:20:16.000 It's going to be the 21st century building material.

01:20:18.000 And if we start this mining operation now in the United States, we'll be able to say, hey, because what's going to happen is people are going to start mining it and they're going to start mining too much.

01:20:27.000 If we're not careful, they'll start competing with the trees and they'll start killing off the trees because we've taken all the carbon dioxide too much out.

01:20:32.000 So we need to work with the globe to figure out how much carbon we're supposed to be putting out and taking back.

01:20:39.000 But I think it could be a multi-trillion dollar industry at the very least.

01:20:43.000 I don't think it has to be about money at this point, because it's really about the sustainability and survival of our species.

01:20:47.000 But I think the United States is the place to build it.

01:20:50.000 We talked offline before the show about the insanity of trying to solve the carbon issue on the demand side, because no matter how much we save here in the U.S., China and India is going to do more.

01:21:03.000 But it's not just that.

01:21:07.000 There's a mathematical equation that tracks this.

01:21:10.000 If you start to, let's say we replace energy consumption, we replace our energy sources with nuclear.

01:21:17.000 We start setting up these nuclear power plants.

01:21:19.000 Then you will have people buying carbon-based fossil fuels.

01:21:24.000 for other purposes. Basically, with cheap energy availability, people still want to grow and expand

01:21:31.000 and use more energy. So if you were to replace the entire US grid with nuclear power, that's great.

01:21:36.000 We would reduce our carbon footprint, and then everyone would be like, awesome, now the energy

01:21:40.000 is so cheap, I can buy more gas to do these things. So I'm with you on what we should have

01:21:49.000 been doing for a long time now and haven't been, is working on carbon capture, ways to do that.

01:21:56.000 That's really the only sensible kind of thing.

01:21:59.000 And I go back to my first job in government in the 70s in the Department of Energy, a summer intern, right?

01:22:09.000 And I was like trying to figure out how to reduce our oil import dependence on the Middle East because it was causing wars and embargoes and poverty and all that kind of stuff like that.

01:22:22.000 Never, ever did I imagine in the 1970s could this country ever become energy independent.

01:22:30.000 But we did that during the Trump administration because of a change in technology, fracking.

01:22:36.000 And so, this is how I think we're going to get out of the climate change box, if you believe we're in one.

01:22:43.000 It's that carbon capture has to be the only sensible way to do that. Otherwise, you're going to force Americans to

01:22:52.000 save, you know, your family saves a pound of carbon and meanwhile the Chinese create two 1.00

01:22:59.000 pounds for every pound we save.

01:23:01.000 They wind up being the leaders of the world and the prosperous country and we can't have

01:23:08.000 that for a lot of reasons. I want to jump to this next story from the Daily Mail.

01:23:12.000 Mississippi's largest city runs out of water indefinitely.

01:23:16.000 Over 180,000 people are left without drinking water and can't flush their toilets or take showers after floods made Jackson's water treatment plant fail.

01:23:25.000 Jackson, Mississippi ran out of water indefinitely, leaving more than 180,000 residents without water.

01:23:30.000 Governor Tate Reeves announced on Monday the city's failing water system was completely down due to years of poor infrastructure.

01:23:36.000 Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba So I just want to tell you this, you know, when I tell people the education you're going to need right now is how to survive.

01:23:49.000 I hope the people of Jackson know how to pull water from the air.

01:23:54.000 Solar powered water condensation.

01:23:56.000 Well, I mean, you don't really need to do that.

01:23:58.000 You can just put a piece of plastic at an angle and then bend the bottom so it goes into a cup.

01:24:02.000 You can catch humidity out of the air, or you can dig tunnels underground where the wind goes underground and then condenses and then creates like a puddle of water underground.

01:24:08.000 Yeah, I mean like the basic thing is you dig a hole, you put a cup in it, you put plastic wrap, and then the condensation trickles down.

01:24:15.000 But they have these big things you can buy.

01:24:16.000 They're just plastic sheets that roll down into tubes.

01:24:19.000 You put it up, and in the morning, all of the humidity condenses, then goes down, you get some water.

01:24:24.000 But, uh, anyway, look, I don't think that's gonna be practical for a city of 180,000 people, but when you see stuff like this, this should be a cold splash of water on the face.

01:24:32.000 That, uh, yo.

01:24:34.000 We don't live in Elysium.

01:24:37.000 We don't live in a world of infinite resources.

01:24:40.000 We live in a bubble protected by people with guns and machines that secure resources easily for us.

01:24:46.000 The reality of the world at any moment, this could be gone.

01:24:50.000 And I've talked about this because I remember like 10 years ago in Ohio, I don't remember how long ago it was, there was an algal bloom.

01:24:57.000 And all of the water became toxic because of the algae and there was no water for 40 miles.

01:25:03.000 What was that?

01:25:03.000 I can't remember what city it was.

01:25:04.000 Was it Cincinnati or something?

01:25:05.000 I think so.

01:25:05.000 I don't know.

01:25:06.000 And so people were driving out buying bottled water and then it was all disappearing.

01:25:09.000 There was nothing because you couldn't get your water source went dirty.

01:25:13.000 There, you know, I see so many people who just live assuming everything's always going to be fine.

01:25:19.000 There's always water.

01:25:20.000 There's always food.

01:25:21.000 I got nothing to worry about.

01:25:22.000 Then one day, there's going to be a flood.

01:25:24.000 They're going to have no water, no food, and they're going to scream, save me.

01:25:28.000 And no one's going to be there to hear it.

01:25:30.000 That's the reality of what's going on right now, man.

01:25:34.000 And by the way, how much was it that we just sent to Ukraine?

01:25:37.000 Oh, they're trying to do a billion a ton now.

01:25:39.000 How much could that have been used to do the infrastructure and injection for a little water?

01:25:46.000 A little desalination.

01:25:47.000 Yeah.

01:25:48.000 I mean, I don't know if you remember Flint, Flint, Michigan, when they lost their water source.

01:25:55.000 It took years, years, years for that thing to recover.

01:26:00.000 And it left a lot of kids damaged.

01:26:03.000 It took months to get billions to Ukraine, you know.

01:26:06.000 So that's good news, I guess.

01:26:09.000 We can snap our fingers and send money to a foreign country that's not us, put our troops on their border, pull our border patrol and send them to Poland. 0.98

01:26:16.000 But fixed pipes in Flint?

01:26:17.000 I don't know about that.

01:26:19.000 It's frightening how, particularly in this age we're in, in the Biden stagflation economy, how many people in this country live paycheck to paycheck to paycheck.

01:26:29.000 I mean, with the turn A quick turn of the screw here, there's going to be even more pain that we're already suffering.

01:26:40.000 I mean, there's a lot of people now who can't pay their mortgages, who can't pay their rent, and that message somehow You don't read much about that in New York Times or see it on CNN or something.

01:26:54.000 I wonder why.

01:26:55.000 I'm really concerned with the student loan stuff because of this, because like if someone's struggling to pay their mortgage and then they find out that they got $10,000 siphoned away from them to pay for some college guy, that there's going to be a class hatred just like Soviet Union, man. 0.56

01:27:09.000 I do not like where this... A mortgage strike like in China?

01:27:13.000 When was that?

01:27:14.000 Yeah.

01:27:14.000 Right now.

01:27:15.000 Oh, yeah.

01:27:16.000 Yeah.

01:27:17.000 And that stuff can spread like, as they say in China, prairie fire.

01:27:23.000 That scares the hell out of the Chinese Communist Party when people start resisting like that.

01:27:29.000 Yeah.

01:27:31.000 But you need more, I suppose.

01:27:32.000 And they suppress the information there.

01:27:34.000 But yeah, China's on the verge of collapse.

01:27:37.000 I don't know, man.

01:27:38.000 I kind of think that people aren't really paying attention to the supply crisis that's been happening here in the U.S.

01:27:44.000 So I'm not surprised to see a story about a city running out of water.

01:27:48.000 So we're having construction done on the new headquarters, and it's been stalled.

01:27:52.000 It's been a year.

01:27:53.000 Now, I'm glad you raised that, because the last time I was here was about a year.

01:27:58.000 We talked about, okay, this is going to be really cool going to your new studio and this thing, and the other thing, and it's like, Brian gets me in the car and is like, where are we going?

01:28:07.000 Same old place.

01:28:08.000 What's going on?

01:28:10.000 It's hard to get materials.

01:28:11.000 Nobody's working.

01:28:12.000 That's right.

01:28:13.000 My joke is the rapture happened.

01:28:15.000 That's the only way to explain it.

01:28:16.000 Airlines are shutting down.

01:28:17.000 There's no employees.

01:28:19.000 When you go out, there are fewer people.

01:28:21.000 There are fewer people everywhere.

01:28:22.000 I went to a diner Saturday at noon and they were like, we're closed due to short staff.

01:28:25.000 I'm like, where are the people at?

01:28:28.000 People gotta eat, right?

01:28:29.000 People gotta pay rent.

01:28:30.000 What's going on?

01:28:31.000 Where are they?

01:28:32.000 So jokingly, I'm like, they must have gotten raptured and we just don't know or something, but they're gone.

01:28:37.000 And so we're trying to get this building put up and they're a year behind.

01:28:42.000 A year behind?

01:28:44.000 We're a year behind.

01:28:45.000 What's your finished date now?

01:28:48.000 There's none.

01:28:49.000 It's stalled now.

01:28:49.000 It's dead.

01:28:50.000 The project's stalled.

01:28:51.000 And it's because the materials are unavailable.

01:28:55.000 People don't see this stuff because, you know, look, most people aren't dealing with ordering steel, for instance, or putting up a building.

01:29:03.000 So they don't see that behind the scenes, the core materials that we need.

01:29:06.000 Did you know that one of the largest aluminum plants in this country shut down?

01:29:10.000 Do you remember that story, Hannah-Claire?

01:29:11.000 Yeah, I do remember that.

01:29:12.000 What was it?

01:29:13.000 20% of U.S.

01:29:13.000 aluminum production.

01:29:15.000 They said they couldn't afford the electricity anymore.

01:29:17.000 And I'm like, we're saving our aluminum cans.

01:29:20.000 And the reason why they can't afford the electricity anymore is because the price of aluminum has been driven down by subsidized Chinese aluminum.

01:29:33.000 That's like one of the things that I fought in the White House.

01:29:37.000 You know, we put in place Steel and aluminum tariffs to provide a defense against that kind of stuff.

01:29:45.000 So here's what we do.

01:29:46.000 We take our cans and we're smelting them down to ingots.

01:29:50.000 We have aluminum.

01:29:52.000 I don't know.

01:29:53.000 Someone's apparently done that.

01:29:54.000 I found a box with aluminum.

01:29:56.000 We are saving the cans, probably to recycle or something.

01:29:58.000 But somebody actually, it might be Chris, he's melting them down into ingots.

01:30:03.000 It breaks my heart.

01:30:06.000 Look, I know there's a supply chain crisis, but It's actually ground to a halt, your new studio execution.

01:30:12.000 You can't get materials.

01:30:13.000 It was supposed to be done last year, like a year ago.

01:30:15.000 And then they were like, it's delayed, we're gonna have to wait, we're gonna have to wait.

01:30:18.000 And then finally in the spring, they're like, we're gonna lay the concrete.

01:30:20.000 Then they were like, now that the concrete foundation's up, we should be able to get the steel and get the building done.

01:30:25.000 Now it's August, 80% of the framing is done.

01:30:29.000 And they stopped and left.

01:30:31.000 And they were like, we don't have the supplies.

01:30:32.000 So now it's just sitting there stalled again.

01:30:35.000 It's absolutely insane.

01:30:36.000 And I'm hearing this from tons of people.

01:30:38.000 Saying that there's a bunch of materials they're unable to get right now and they have to wait.

01:30:42.000 Let me refer you to carbon dioxide and the graphene that we could make out of it.

01:30:46.000 I know I'm not like focused on the step right in front of me.

01:30:48.000 I'm kind of focused on the next third step, fifth and seventh after that.

01:30:52.000 But I'm like down to work with anybody in the in the government.

01:30:56.000 I don't know if the government's the right place to go with this.

01:30:58.000 I imagine American industry.

01:30:59.000 But it was always like Carnegie was a private sector guy.

01:31:02.000 He didn't build this.

01:31:03.000 The Americans didn't build the steel industry.

01:31:05.000 Well, an American did. 0.73

01:31:06.000 Carnegie.

01:31:09.000 What do you think?

01:31:12.000 Let's take it to the reality again what I did in the Trump administration.

01:31:16.000 I think everything you're saying underscores the need to produce domestically.

01:31:23.000 It's not just to have the steel Factories here themselves, but to have the supply chains that go with it and we got hooked starting back 1960s on these these globalized supply chains because it was cheaper.

01:31:41.000 Yeah.

01:31:42.000 Yeah, that's the idea and no one ever factored in the appropriate geopolitical risk of being being dependent on a China or Russia for energy or whatever and And it was all about also cheap labor.

01:32:01.000 So that's why everything got out there.

01:32:04.000 And I spent four years in the White House trying to do the Buy American thing, trying to make sure.

01:32:09.000 I mean, you take, like, one of the achievements I think we had was I did a Buy American executive order on essential pharmaceuticals, okay?

01:32:21.000 And there's three components to that.

01:32:25.000 You've got the finished Dosage product itself, right and then you've got the intermediate chemicals you need to make it and then you got raw materials and the problem we have is That those first two stages are completely almost all Offshore, okay as well as a good part of the finished dosage stuff.

01:32:50.000 So bringing that back Very difficult.

01:32:53.000 And the biggest two forces I had to fight were the big pharma folks.

01:33:03.000 You know, they'd come in their friggin' Gucci shoes into the old Eisenhower Executive Building.

01:33:09.000 We'd sit around a table and say, hey, we gotta do this. 0.96

01:33:11.000 Like, this was, like, early pandemic.

01:33:14.000 It's like, we can't be dependent on these people.

01:33:17.000 And they'd say, no, no, no, impossible to do.

01:33:20.000 They would fight it.

01:33:21.000 But then the FDA would fight it as well because the FDA is the servant of big pharma.

01:33:30.000 Those folks go through revolving doors, they get jobs there, they get stocks, this, that, and the other thing.

01:33:35.000 But the point is that if we source our production as well as our supply chains, then we won't be having the problems we're having.

01:33:51.000 Reason on God's good earth. We should be short on Aluminum and steel. I mean we got everything we need

01:33:57.000 Minnesota, where do people at? Yeah. Well the rapture happened. Well, no explanation of the people that that's an

01:34:04.000 interesting kind of issue and it is of itself because

01:34:09.000 You know, there's there's topics we probably don't want to go here

01:34:13.000 but it's like there's reasons why people are out of the workforce who got pushed out of the workforce and

01:34:20.000 And this is a political tragedy.

01:34:25.000 It's not an economic tragedy.

01:34:27.000 It starts with your downstream politics here.

01:34:31.000 You know, politics maybe are downstream to economics.

01:34:34.000 Well, what you're saying about the medical production or biomedical production, I mean, the Biden administration just signed this $11 million deal to bring the last step of manufacturing the monkeypox vaccine to the U.S.

01:34:46.000 from a Danish manufacturer.

01:34:48.000 They're manufacturing, I believe, in Michigan.

01:34:51.000 So in some ways they are doing what you're saying, just only when forced to in complete crisis.

01:34:56.000 Well, yeah, there's about 400 essential medicines that we need in our cabinet, and certainly, okay, great, you got the monkey pox done, but what have you done lately for all of the Advanced pharmaceutical ingredients, the API and the raw materials you need for insulin, for example, or whatever it is.

01:35:26.000 And I'm just telling you that for a lot of reasons that stuff's, the most basic stuff's in India and China because they don't have any environmental rules and that's kind of nasty, nasty to do.

01:35:38.000 And I was able to, there's a company called Flow, it's P-H-L-O-W, I was able to get Get some grant money for them. 0.98

01:35:48.000 And they had a process where they did all three stages under one building.

01:35:56.000 So you were able to get economies of scale and scope across that.

01:36:00.000 And those are the kinds of things, I mean, we've never, we can't compete as a manufacturing country Worker for worker.

01:36:08.000 What we have to do is we gotta produce more efficiently by having the best and smartest machines wedded to the best and smartest labor.

01:36:19.000 And that's what our focus is.

01:36:43.000 All right.

01:36:44.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:36:45.000 says, well done.

01:36:46.000 Fake Woke is moving up them charts. 0.80

01:36:48.000 You see?

01:36:49.000 Isn't that amazing?

01:36:50.000 Fake Woke number three. 0.72

01:36:51.000 And that's Tom McDonald.

01:36:53.000 I think you'd need like 50,000 people if they bought Fake Woke.

01:36:58.000 I think he'd be like Billboard Hot 100 or something.

01:37:01.000 Is that impossible to do, 50,000 people, just to spend a buck to help support, you know, culture and stuff like that?

01:37:07.000 It's impossible.

01:37:08.000 And that would end up being probably like $35,000, $40,000 in Tommy Donald's pocket, too.

01:37:13.000 That's the crazy thing.

01:37:14.000 It's like, if everybody pitched in a dollar, imagine what you could accomplish.

01:37:17.000 Like, people would just own the culture.

01:37:19.000 Well, you always say, like, stop giving money to people who hate you, and I think people think about it when they're buying products or shopping at restaurants, but like... shopping at restaurants...

01:37:27.000 Eating out but when you are buying music or stream music you are doing the exact same thing you have the ability to influence Well, it's all you know, look Jeremy boring Daily Wire said stop giving money to people who hate you give it to me instead I'll just put it this way start giving money to people you like Yeah, or to people who are making things you like, you know, whoever that may be All right, Smokey Joe says never underestimate establishment GOP's ability to waste opportunity if they eke out their win It won't be celebration, but an enormous wash of relief Oof.

01:37:59.000 False God Dark Soul says pop culture crisis is greater than IRL.

01:38:03.000 Uh, well, uh, well actually.

01:38:06.000 Pop culture crisis, um...

01:38:08.000 We had a day today, it was very wild.

01:38:10.000 $1,300, something like that, in superchats?

01:38:12.000 Yeah, we had 13 crisis parties, the crisis party meter goes off every time we reach $100 in superchats.

01:38:17.000 Someone actually superchatted that in, and our response was, we'll say it to Tim on IRL tonight, so we're glad to have you here.

01:38:23.000 There you go.

01:38:23.000 But yeah, you guys should check that out at 3 o'clock, it's a great show.

01:38:25.000 Right now, in superchats, pop culture crisis for the day is, oh, sorry, no, that's it.

01:38:30.000 Someone superchatted us right now, and now we're officially beating pop culture crisis.

01:38:33.000 It was a nice try, Brett and Mary!

01:38:35.000 But you guys don't have the lights and the money guns.

01:38:37.000 Like, it's a different experience here.

01:38:38.000 Yeah, so for those that aren't familiar, Pop Culture Crisis is a pop culture show that we launched and it's more fun pop culture, not political.

01:38:46.000 And then whenever $100 in Super Chats comes in, money guns start firing guns into the air and the lights go off.

01:38:51.000 Anytime you Super Chat, the money guns go off.

01:38:53.000 But when it's $100, we get like... A lot of them.

01:38:55.000 You have to try and talk through while these lights are flashing their air horns.

01:38:58.000 And you're like, I'm making an interesting point, I swear.

01:39:01.000 It's burning, man.

01:39:02.000 Ian said it, the money got in his coffee.

01:39:03.000 Yeah, one time.

01:39:04.000 Yeah, that happened to me too.

01:39:05.000 There you go.

01:39:05.000 You get to keep it.

01:39:06.000 I like pick up my coffee and like hold it when they're going off.

01:39:09.000 Gotta protect it.

01:39:10.000 All right.

01:39:10.000 Rye Lyon says, Chat last night said, Tired of diversity, inclusivity, and equity training at job, I was too.

01:39:17.000 Made policies discriminated against whites and men.

01:39:19.000 Found new job and filed complaint.

01:39:21.000 You can too.

01:39:22.000 I'll just say this, ladies and gentlemen.

01:39:24.000 If you work for a company, and they make you watch a video that discriminates on the basis of race, complain.

01:39:31.000 And file a complaint.

01:39:33.000 And see how fast they change their policies.

01:39:35.000 See, this is the issue.

01:39:37.000 I don't care about the race of the individual.

01:39:39.000 You can't discriminate on the basis of race.

01:39:41.000 These dye trainings are coming out and being like white privilege or whatever. 0.93

01:39:45.000 Okay, well that's still against the law.

01:39:47.000 You need to only be like, hey, they were saying a bunch of racist things in that video.

01:39:50.000 And then they're gonna be like, uh, what?

01:39:52.000 Here's what I say.

01:39:53.000 You file a complaint and you say, my boss made us watch a racist video.

01:39:58.000 What were they saying in that video?

01:39:59.000 I refuse to repeat the racist things they said.

01:40:01.000 You're not going to make me say it.

01:40:02.000 You, like, that's it.

01:40:04.000 They made us watch a video where a bunch of racist things were happening, where people were saying racist things to people, where people were encouraging racism.

01:40:10.000 And then it's like, what specifically was it?

01:40:12.000 You're not gonna get me to repeat the racisms, sorry.

01:40:15.000 But they'll fold.

01:40:16.000 Not everybody.

01:40:17.000 You know, I've talked about this before. 0.92

01:40:18.000 Some companies will be like, screw you, because they're in a cult, you know what I mean?

01:40:21.000 Some people might panic and be like, oh no, we're gonna get sued if we do this again.

01:40:24.000 All right, George M says, loved your no BS attitude, Mr. Navarro.

01:40:31.000 Bit of a fan.

01:40:32.000 I have worked in manufacturing my whole life and now own my own automation business.

01:40:36.000 How could we talk about rapid made in America resurgence strategy?

01:40:42.000 Yeah, that hits the nail on the head.

01:40:46.000 These are the kind of advanced manufacturing techniques that we could have been nurturing.

01:40:52.000 There was a key point during the pandemic when we were trying to work with the Democrats on a stimulus bill, which at the time was appropriate given the mess We were in, and the battle was really over how you'd spend the money.

01:41:14.000 And in the Trump side of the fence, what we wanted to do was use a bunch of that money to onshore manufacturing and build manufacturing under the assumption that if you were going to stimulate the economy and create rising real wages and prosperity, the best way to do that would be to have jobs here.

01:41:37.000 And part of The money that would have been spent would be on these advanced manufacturing techniques so you could stay ahead of the sweatshops and pollution havens of Asia. 1.00

01:41:49.000 So good for Super Chat Man there.

01:41:51.000 All right, Alex Alcala says, rapture probably did happen. I don't see Seamus anymore.

01:41:56.000 Is that what that was? I went out. I went out one day and I saw a naked Seamus being

01:42:01.000 pulled up into the sky through a sunbeam. And I just I assume he was going to the store.

01:42:04.000 I just thought he was flying.

01:42:05.000 That's just how he gets around.

01:42:08.000 I thought it was normal.

01:42:09.000 Haven't seen him since.

01:42:10.000 That makes sense.

01:42:13.000 And also he didn't put out a cartoon for a while.

01:42:15.000 That's just because he's lazy.

01:42:18.000 Just kidding Seamus!

01:42:20.000 He's sitting in a lounge chair right now in like a bathrobe and he's like curling his fingers.

01:42:26.000 He always used to steal my desk when he was here.

01:42:28.000 I'd say good riddance.

01:42:32.000 Jaden Jeru says, long time listener, first time superchatter.

01:42:35.000 Wanted to say that Only Ever Wanted is my favorite new song of 2022.

01:42:38.000 Can't wait to see what else you guys release.

01:42:40.000 Keep up the good work!

01:42:41.000 Yeah, I think the next song is like in one month.

01:42:44.000 Our plan is gonna- is gonna- So we gotta figure it out because there's only so much we can do, but we might be putting out like a piano, light, soft, you know, version of it.

01:42:54.000 We'll see.

01:42:55.000 Violin or something.

01:42:56.000 Because and then I think for a month from then the next song The next official song is we want to get out a new song every four weeks and definitely a new song every single month forever moving forward literally forever Be it from me or you know anybody else that we end up signing and things like that But it means we need to expand the operation.

01:43:17.000 It means we need to generate revenue from the operation.

01:43:20.000 And we're working with some rad dudes.

01:43:23.000 I don't want to say too much, but there's a lot of interest.

01:43:26.000 I'll put it this way.

01:43:27.000 After the success of this song we put out, the interest is through the roof.

01:43:30.000 And we've got people reaching out to us.

01:43:32.000 They want to work with us and expand the operation.

01:43:35.000 Yeah, a lot of views.

01:43:36.000 A lot of hits to that song, Only Ever Wanted.

01:43:39.000 Click the link below if you want to buy it.

01:43:40.000 Appreciate the support.

01:43:42.000 But because of all your support, now we've got people who are like, dude, let's make more, let's work together, and we've got some interest that's gonna help kick things up to the next level.

01:43:50.000 Waffle Sensei says, Ian is out here doing the Lord's work, trying to spread the word about graphene and save the world.

01:43:55.000 And my guy Tim here dressed in black block trying to shut him up, shaking my head.

01:44:00.000 Without resistance, you will fail.

01:44:02.000 Yeah, everybody needs a little conflict, right?

01:44:05.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:44:05.000 says, save the Ian, save the world.

01:44:08.000 David Back says, never change, Ian, never change.

01:44:10.000 That's an inevitable change.

01:44:14.000 All right, we'll grab some more Super Chats.

01:44:17.000 Stan says, Biden planning a Thursday primetime live message.

01:44:21.000 Think he will announce or address any Trump charges?

01:44:24.000 No, but is Lauren in town then?

01:44:27.000 We should hit up Lauren Southern and tell her she has to be in town to do another Biden speech night drunk party. 1.00

01:44:35.000 That'd be so funny.

01:44:35.000 That was hilarious the last time.

01:44:36.000 Have you heard about this?

01:44:37.000 No, no, no.

01:44:38.000 What happened?

01:44:39.000 The last time Biden did a State of the Union, I think, we had a drinking party and then we played bingo.

01:44:45.000 Every time Biden would do a predictable thing, you'd mark it off and then see who won.

01:44:50.000 Did you watch that?

01:44:51.000 His State of the Union?

01:44:52.000 It was like a campaign speech.

01:44:54.000 They called it a State of the Union, but he just talked about what he was going to do.

01:44:57.000 I rarely watch things in real time.

01:44:59.000 I'm an asynchronous kind of guy, so I'll catch that stuff later.

01:45:05.000 I just—I have a really difficult time even watching Joe Biden. 0.87

01:45:10.000 I remember during the campaign, it was very clear to me, and I said this repeatedly publicly, that this man was mentally diminished, that he would not serve out his full term, and that we were going to hand over the country to somebody who was both incompetent and corrupt.

01:45:29.000 And, I mean, as old as he— Looked and acted on inauguration day.

01:45:35.000 I mean, that man is, he's approaching ghoul-like, ghost-like.

01:45:42.000 I mean, it's just, it's just weird.

01:45:44.000 I mean, he's aging faster than any person.

01:45:48.000 And they can prevent him from aging.

01:45:49.000 I mean, it's just scary.

01:45:51.000 We'll see, man.

01:45:52.000 Yeah, I mean, we might wind up with Kamala as president. 0.93

01:45:56.000 God help us, we get what you asked for.

01:45:59.000 All right, Aiden says rip Mikhail Gorbachev.

01:46:02.000 That's right.

01:46:03.000 He died.

01:46:04.000 He was the worst leader in Soviet history.

01:46:07.000 Yes, yes, the one that oversaw the demise of the Soviet Union. 0.56

01:46:10.000 But from our perspective, the best.

01:46:12.000 The best.

01:46:13.000 He was great.

01:46:13.000 Yeah.

01:46:14.000 Yeah.

01:46:15.000 Apparently, he was really upset that Putin was destroying his legacy.

01:46:18.000 That's what I saw in a report and I'm like, oh, okay.

01:46:21.000 All right. 0.88

01:46:23.000 W Falcon says, Hey Tim, when are we going to get the Shane Cashman, your honesty is appreciated, but your reality is disgusting, coffee mug?

01:46:30.000 Oh, is that one of his quotes?

01:46:30.000 That's fantastic.

01:46:31.000 That's great.

01:46:33.000 Yeah, we should make that now.

01:46:35.000 Well, you know, we need to expand a lot.

01:46:37.000 So we really need to just grow, hire more people, but there's only so many people we can hire because we're kind of at our limit.

01:46:45.000 And, uh, so we need more people to sign up and watch Inverted World, more people to watch Cast Castle, and we're offering these things trying to get more and more people, and we're spending a lot of money in marketing.

01:46:53.000 And it is what it is.

01:46:54.000 It's low growth.

01:46:55.000 The pop culture crisis is starting to take off.

01:46:57.000 Getting a lot of new subscribers every day.

01:46:59.000 1,300 in Super Chats in one day.

01:47:01.000 I failed to mention that Brett and I have a wager where if we get 15 super chat or crisis parties in one episode he'll bleach his hair.

01:47:09.000 No!

01:47:09.000 Mary will bleach it for him.

01:47:10.000 Mary is his co-host who's got gorgeous blonde hair. 1.00

01:47:14.000 Just in case you guys needed a reason to tune in tomorrow at 3 p.m.

01:47:17.000 I definitely think you should go check out Pop Culture Crisis.

01:47:19.000 Get Brett to bleach his hair.

01:47:21.000 Yeah, he at first said 10.

01:47:24.000 Oh, I said 10 Crisis Priorities, and he said no, 15, which I thought was reasonable.

01:47:28.000 It's gonna happen.

01:47:29.000 Of course.

01:47:29.000 Well, as we got closer today, we like suddenly hit 10, and we can see Brett's eyes like shifting his chair.

01:47:35.000 And then we hit 13, and he was like, okay, so let's do outros! 0.93

01:47:39.000 Let's wrap this show up.

01:47:41.000 Let's get out of here! 0.98

01:47:42.000 It's gonna be like $14.99.

01:47:43.000 He's gonna go, show's over!

01:47:44.000 Click.

01:47:45.000 And then someone's gonna send in the dollar before the show can- you've got 30 seconds.

01:47:48.000 But I have to watch the first Fast and the Furious because we hit 10 Christ- Oh really?

01:47:53.000 Yeah.

01:47:53.000 Which I've never seen and I'm opposed to generally.

01:47:55.000 Why?

01:47:56.000 Why are there 10 Fast and the Furious movies?

01:47:58.000 Don't you think that's too many?

01:48:00.000 Aren't there 11?

01:48:01.000 Is it working on their 10th?

01:48:02.000 I don't know.

01:48:02.000 Well it's F9 plus Hobbs and Shaw I guess.

01:48:06.000 No, the FFCU is the greatest cinematic universe.

01:48:11.000 You should come on Pop Culture Crisis and debate me on this.

01:48:15.000 I oppose this.

01:48:15.000 In the latest Fast and the Furious, they went to outer space.

01:48:19.000 That's stupid. 0.99

01:48:20.000 That was amazing. 1.00

01:48:21.000 No, I think this is too many.

01:48:23.000 What I want to happen is I want Vin Diesel and his crew to be like, yo, we got another driving mission.

01:48:29.000 It's at this nuclear power plant.

01:48:31.000 top-secret job and then they like go in but then there's an explosion they get blasted with radiation and then they all get superpowers and then like like Vin Diesel gets super speed and then you know Ludacris becomes like he gets like techno powers that were the techno kinesis he can control machines and then they're like flying around but then like there's because they already they already have superpowers in it in Hobbs and Shaw Idris Elba was a super soldier with like nanotech modifications like we're already here dude I want superhero Vin Diesel Do you have an opinion on Fast and the Furious, Peter Navarro?

01:49:04.000 I do not.

01:49:05.000 I haven't watched any of the videos.

01:49:08.000 I've heard that they keep getting made because they always make money, and I can understand that logic.

01:49:13.000 They went to outer space! 1.00

01:49:14.000 That is stupid! 1.00

01:49:15.000 No, it's not! 1.00

01:49:16.000 It is the greatest thing ever!

01:49:18.000 No!

01:49:18.000 Wasn't there one of their stars, though, that tragically died?

01:49:21.000 Yeah, Paul Walker.

01:49:23.000 He was the original.

01:49:24.000 Yes, yes.

01:49:26.000 That I did know.

01:49:28.000 With some tragedy, yes.

01:49:30.000 They should do one on Mars.

01:49:31.000 Maybe you should watch Fast and Furious with me, because I don't know, I'll keep my word, but I was not excited.

01:49:36.000 You know, I'm more of a kind of a slow and mellow kind of guy these days, you know what I mean?

01:49:40.000 Yeah, you're not the target demographic.

01:49:42.000 Here's a question for Peter.

01:49:44.000 Peter Provenzano says, what have you, Trump and Bannon, learned about your bad personnel decisions, Milley, Esper, Bolton, etc., and how will it be fixed in the next administration?

01:49:54.000 Well, in the Taking Back Trump's America book, I do offer the dream cabinet as well as the dream staffing of the White House.

01:50:03.000 And as far as I can see, if they put somebody like one of my favorites back from the Trump days, this guy named Johnny McAtee, I met him during the campaign.

01:50:14.000 He was originally one of the two body men for the boss.

01:50:18.000 You know, we'd fly out on, we called it Trump Force One, right, which was the Trump plane where he'd go campaign and stuff like that.

01:50:27.000 Johnny joined the administration, he got treated really badly by Chief of Staff Kelly, but he came back at the end to run the personnel decision.

01:50:36.000 All you need is the McAtee filter on there to get the right people in.

01:50:44.000 We've got to get Trump back in, but we've also got to get the right people in to run the world here.

01:50:49.000 That's the most important thing, and also firing all the wrong people.

01:50:53.000 All the Schedule F stuff, right?

01:50:55.000 Yes, yes, yes.

01:50:56.000 I mean, look, the thing about a second Trump term is that the boss knows how to do this now from day one.

01:51:07.000 And he's got people who know how to do it.

01:51:10.000 And we know what to do.

01:51:12.000 We know what to do on the economy, certainly.

01:51:14.000 What do you think about, you got Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, even Alex Jones saying Trump's not the right path forward.

01:51:21.000 Many of them saying Ron DeSantis.

01:51:24.000 Well, keep in mind that my bailiwick is fair trade, making sure that traders don't cheat, and American manufacturing.

01:51:39.000 I don't think that Ron DeSantis has ever said a word about cracking down on Chinese economic aggression and imposing tariffs.

01:51:48.000 It's not clear to me that he knows anything about that issue.

01:51:52.000 But that's going to be the key to getting back our economy.

01:51:56.000 And yeah, look, I know the boss.

01:51:58.000 I love the guy.

01:51:59.000 I know he knows what to do.

01:52:02.000 And so I'm a Trump guy.

01:52:04.000 Yeah.

01:52:05.000 All right.

01:52:06.000 This is a good one.

01:52:07.000 Mahil says, In my experience, boxes are usually empty, or maybe with a little cheese stuck to the top.

01:52:12.000 And one time, pepperoni.

01:52:14.000 What a day that was.

01:52:15.000 All right.

01:52:15.000 Who knows the reference?

01:52:17.000 Oh, the FBI raided 11 pizza boxes from Trump's house?

01:52:20.000 No.

01:52:21.000 No one knows the reference?

01:52:22.000 No?

01:52:22.000 No, I don't know.

01:52:25.000 Ah, it's too bad.

01:52:26.000 Zoidberg, Futurama.

01:52:28.000 Yep, you all get three demerits.

01:52:30.000 Stephen Hartman says, I'd like to know this gentleman's opinion on nuclear power, its potential role in aiding in what seems to be a global energy crisis, and should we consider domestic production of uranium as an area of national importance and security?

01:52:42.000 First book I ever wrote, 1984, The Dimming of America.

01:52:47.000 The central thesis of that book is that bad regulation around the country was suppressing the development of coal and nuclear power plants and that would lead to electricity shortages in 2000.

01:53:03.000 And I was in California when that and Enron hit.

01:53:08.000 The trick with nuclear power, and it's a big trick, is to figure out how to build them safely, but again, apropos talking with Ian about technology, I mean, there's smaller, safer, modular kind of systems that can be built, standardized, and they have a place in our grid.

01:53:33.000 I mean, this whole electric vehicle thing, the Biden administration keeps forgetting that in order for an electric vehicle to run, they need electricity.

01:53:42.000 Have you seen nuclear diamond batteries?

01:53:45.000 They're recovering spent nuclear fuel, like nuclear waste, and then they're putting it inside of diamond and it's creating a low charge for like, you get like 10,000 years of electrical charge.

01:53:54.000 By the way, I buried the lead about DeSantis.

01:53:57.000 In the Trading Back Trump's America book, I recommend DeSantis as the VP choice right away.

01:54:04.000 If they can seal that deal, like now, that'll clear the field, and DeSantis should do that.

01:54:12.000 Because then he'd be in the White House for 12 years.

01:54:15.000 I agree.

01:54:16.000 I agree.

01:54:17.000 I think it's, you know, we had, I think it was Santorum who was on and said, 12 years of a Republican presidency is wishful thinking.

01:54:24.000 But I still think it's probably the right approach.

01:54:26.000 DeSantis was not in the White House.

01:54:28.000 He just, what was, he was in Congress before the governorship.

01:54:31.000 Donald Trump went through this on the first— Is he in Congress?

01:54:35.000 DeSantis, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:54:36.000 Right?

01:54:36.000 He was, right?

01:54:37.000 Pretty sure.

01:54:38.000 Look that up.

01:54:39.000 He wasn't?

01:54:39.000 I don't think he was in Congress.

01:54:40.000 I don't remember him being in Congress.

01:54:41.000 He might have been in state legislature or something.

01:54:43.000 Oh, is that what it was?

01:54:44.000 Maybe in the state house.

01:54:45.000 He kind of came over.

01:54:46.000 He came out of nowhere.

01:54:48.000 He was in the House of Representatives.

01:54:50.000 He was 13 to 18.

01:54:51.000 Yeah, he was in Congress.

01:54:52.000 Trump saved him.

01:54:53.000 I don't know if he saved him, but the Trump endorsement kind of propelled him in what was a highly competitive race at the time.

01:55:02.000 And look, he acquitted himself very, very well on something that he and I totally agree on, which was the follies of Fauci.

01:55:13.000 Everything Fauci did, he did the opposite of, and right on.

01:55:19.000 They locked down for a little while, but things got better.

01:55:21.000 I think it's a good move.

01:55:22.000 Let's read some more.

01:55:23.000 We got XRunner who says, my plumber friend laughs.

01:55:26.000 Get a degree or you will be a burger flipper.

01:55:28.000 He gets served at Starbucks by master's holders.

01:55:31.000 Me?

01:55:31.000 I went STEM, no loans.

01:55:33.000 That's true, it's like, there's a meme where it's a woman holding a book and it's like, $120,000 in student loans, no job, in debt, wants you to pay for it.

01:55:42.000 And then it's like a guy working on a telephone pole and it's like,

01:55:44.000 $100,000 a year, union job, no debt.

01:55:47.000 Shut off all electricity.

01:55:49.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:55:50.000 Shuts off the electricity of the...

01:55:52.000 Eleventh Hour Studio says, Huge thanks to Timcast and the thousands who viewed my

01:55:57.000 cover of Will of the People, uploaded a much higher quality rerecord, and a cover of

01:56:02.000 Only Ever Wanted on the way.

01:56:03.000 Great show tonight as always.

01:56:06.000 Right on, man.

01:56:07.000 So, Will of the People is the first song we put out, and I was actually really bummed when going through the data.

01:56:12.000 It would have hit the charts, because we didn't know what we were doing.

01:56:15.000 We just uploaded the song.

01:56:16.000 We were like, hey, look, we did a song, and it's actually doing really, really well.

01:56:19.000 In the past, like, two months, it's gotten, like, hundreds of thousands of hits on Spotify, which I didn't even realize just started doing really well.

01:56:25.000 And then it's funny to see all these lefties saying that they liked the song, and then they realized it was from me, and they're like, oh, no.

01:56:31.000 Oh, no.

01:56:33.000 Paul Renfrow says, when do we get a song where Tim sings it in that homeless voice?

01:56:37.000 I mean, maybe on Chicken City or something.

01:56:40.000 Great.

01:56:41.000 Chicken City, the album.

01:56:42.000 Chicken City.

01:56:42.000 We have a Chicken City theme song.

01:56:44.000 We already demo tracked it, too.

01:56:46.000 It's going to be great.

01:56:47.000 I like it.

01:56:47.000 Yeah, Chicken City, man.

01:56:50.000 All right, Jeffrey Dubois says, Hey guys, I'm a big fan.

01:56:53.000 Tim, can you set up a process for us to donate money to specific projects we want, like the website being developed or the app or some other project in the works?

01:57:00.000 Well, I mean, that's fantastic.

01:57:03.000 If you sign up to become a member at TimCast.com, there's a bunch of different tiers.

01:57:07.000 It's like 10 bucks to be a member.

01:57:09.000 And then the other tiers are basically like, If you give 25 bucks, you're basically giving a $15 donation on top of the $10 price.

01:57:18.000 I'll leave it at that.

01:57:19.000 You can choose to give more.

01:57:20.000 As for the app and the website being developed, it's just labor.

01:57:25.000 We have the resources to fund it.

01:57:27.000 We don't have the people.

01:57:28.000 And finding them is difficult.

01:57:29.000 It's not easy.

01:57:30.000 The rapture.

01:57:31.000 Yeah, the rapture happened.

01:57:32.000 Where is everybody?

01:57:32.000 It's not just that.

01:57:36.000 Look, hiring is a minefield.

01:57:38.000 Someone walks up to your door or, you know, emails you and they're like, I'll take a job.

01:57:41.000 And you've got to figure out if they're capable of doing it.

01:57:44.000 And it's hard.

01:57:45.000 So, you know, it's difficult, man.

01:57:49.000 Let's grab some more super chats.

01:57:52.000 All right.

01:57:52.000 Dave Wiggins says, love that you were able to get Navarro on here.

01:57:55.000 Amazing to see the context and personality of an individual, especially after seeing the insanity we live in.

01:58:00.000 Very powerful to see these individuals as regular people hoping for the best.

01:58:04.000 That's right.

01:58:04.000 Absolutely.

01:58:07.000 Mavis says, loan forgiveness is all fun and games until states like New York tax it as income.

01:58:12.000 And they will.

01:58:13.000 Why wouldn't they?

01:58:15.000 You think the government's gonna give you 10 grand and the state's gonna be like, oh, we're not interested in that?

01:58:19.000 10 grand of your own tax money and then they're gonna tax you on it.

01:58:22.000 Can you imagine that?

01:58:23.000 That's right.

01:58:24.000 I stand by it.

01:58:24.000 Biden just did this to be able to say, I am the student loan forgiveness president.

01:58:29.000 Student loan accelerated repayment program president is what he's doing.

01:58:32.000 He's trying to make us pay back our own loans fast.

01:58:37.000 Maybe service guarantees citizenship, man.

01:58:40.000 Nick says, Tom McDonald's great, but don't sleep on Chris Webby.

01:58:43.000 You'll love his Raw Thoughts V if you like Tom.

01:58:45.000 Right on, okay.

01:58:48.000 OnlyEverWanted said, In the end, what separates a man from a slave?

01:58:54.000 Money?

01:58:54.000 Power?

01:58:55.000 No.

01:58:55.000 A man chooses, a slave obeys.

01:58:58.000 Andrew Ryan, Bioshock.

01:59:00.000 What a great game.

01:59:03.000 All right.

01:59:06.000 David Scott says, you gotta get Tony Heller on the show.

01:59:08.000 Who's that?

01:59:08.000 Don't know who that is?

01:59:10.000 I don't know Tony Heller.

01:59:13.000 Marion Holtzman says, you live in a blue state?

01:59:15.000 No problem here in Tennessee to get anything done.

01:59:18.000 I've been constructing for three years, no problem.

01:59:20.000 No, we're in West Virginia.

01:59:22.000 West Virginia's MAGA country, baby!

01:59:25.000 But there's a big thing happening because there's an all-ages drag show happening in Martinsburg, and all of a sudden everybody's starting to lose their minds, I guess.

01:59:36.000 It's all being shared on the local forums, and they're like, why?

01:59:39.000 I'm kind of worried.

01:59:41.000 Why would you put on a drag show all ages in MAGA country?

01:59:45.000 Martinsburg, like West Virginia is really interesting because they get a flow of people from D.C.

01:59:49.000 and Northern Virginia coming in.

01:59:51.000 I get it, but it's still MAGA country.

01:59:52.000 I think that they don't think it is because they're like, oh, it's sort of a city.

01:59:56.000 And so we we occupy here.

01:59:58.000 Like they think they're being provocative enough where they'll only attract like minded people.

02:00:03.000 And I just I think it's not well thought out.

02:00:06.000 Yeah, man.

02:00:07.000 We were looking at setting up an operation in Martinsburg, but I'm gonna steer clear of that stuff.

02:00:11.000 And it's not just about the drag show for kids.

02:00:14.000 It's that there was a diner that was closed at noon on a Saturday.

02:00:18.000 And I'm just like, it's a bad place to buy property.

02:00:22.000 There are people there think that it's coming up, it's the city in West Virginia, and I feel bad because I'd love to see West Virginia thrive, but not if that's the kind of thriving that comes to town when you start building it up, you know what I mean?

02:00:33.000 So I'm kind of like, nah, go somewhere else, man.

02:00:37.000 Yeah, maybe move further west into West Virginia.

02:00:42.000 All right, we'll grab a couple more here. 0.62

02:00:44.000 $102 says Fast and the Furious 23 Revengeance.

02:00:48.000 The crew goes on the ultimate heist.

02:00:49.000 They steal time by racing inside the Large Hadron Collider.

02:00:54.000 They gotta steal the original copy of Fast and the Furious.

02:00:57.000 They go back in time and get a copy of it.

02:00:59.000 If there are 20 Fast and the Furious, I will be real mad.

02:01:03.000 I will be quite furious indeed.

02:01:05.000 That's too many!

02:01:06.000 You might love it by then.

02:01:07.000 No, I don't think I will.

02:01:08.000 I mean, I want to stay open-minded.

02:01:09.000 You might be resigned.

02:01:10.000 The future's being written.

02:01:11.000 Alright everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com and become a member to help support our work.

02:01:20.000 We're gonna have a members-only show coming up in just a little bit, and click the link in the description below.

02:01:24.000 It'll bring you over to Bandcamp, where it's very, very easy to just click buy the song for 69 cents if you want to support Only Ever Wanted.

02:01:31.000 If you guys buy enough, we might actually chart, which would be really cool.

02:01:34.000 Otherwise, buy the song and check it out, or it's available on all streaming platforms if you want to check it out there, and we're gonna be releasing a lot more.

02:01:40.000 The goal with this is just to make culture.

02:01:42.000 And, uh, look, I would have been satisfied if the song came out and had like, you know, 50 to 100k hits and we were like, you know, that's all it is.

02:01:49.000 Instead, it's got like a million plus, you know, combined on all these other platforms and it's kind of crazy.

02:01:54.000 And, uh, you know, it is what it is.

02:01:56.000 Really do appreciate all the support.

02:01:58.000 You can follow the show at Timcast IRL.

02:02:00.000 You can follow me at Timcast.

02:02:01.000 Peter, do you want to shout anything out?

02:02:03.000 Yeah, as long as we're pushing stuff, let's get me to Amazon number one, taking back Trump's America.

02:02:10.000 And by the way, this book doubles as my legal defense fund.

02:02:14.000 So help your brother out, baby, taking back Trump's America.

02:02:18.000 Available on Amazon today.

02:02:20.000 It's the key to getting back the House of Representatives in the November election and the White House in 2024.

02:02:27.000 When were you on last?

02:02:30.000 About a year ago, in the earlier book—this is the planned second book of the three memoirs from my White House years—but I decided, given the Biden fiasco, to make sure that this was prospective as a way of Right on, man.

02:02:47.000 Thanks for coming.

02:02:47.000 Taking it back to North America.

02:02:49.000 would help us move forward and get back to White House again in 2025.

02:02:56.000 Right on, man. Thanks for coming.

02:02:58.000 You got it. You saw charts, my book charts. Hey, it's all good.

02:03:02.000 Let's get it.

02:03:02.000 It's all good.

02:03:04.000 But the problem is, if we get money, we still can't build anything because there's no supply chain.

02:03:08.000 But I'm working on that too.

02:03:11.000 I might know where we can find some graphene.

02:03:14.000 Graphene, yes.

02:03:14.000 The air.

02:03:16.000 Oh, you're right.

02:03:17.000 I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow.

02:03:18.000 I want to say happy birthday to my older brother.

02:03:20.000 He's excellent and I'm a huge fan.

02:03:22.000 You can find me on TimCast.com.

02:03:24.000 You can click on the read tab so you work for me and the rest of our news team.

02:03:28.000 You can also find me on Instagram at HannahClaire.B.

02:03:30.000 Thanks so much.

02:03:31.000 Hey guys, follow me, Ian Crosland, on the internet, anywhere, any social media, wherever you want to.

02:03:35.000 And Peter, always a pleasure, my man.

02:03:37.000 My brother.

02:03:38.000 Looking good.

02:03:38.000 Graphene baby all the way.

02:03:40.000 Nice outfit.

02:03:40.000 I actually knew about that.

02:03:42.000 Guy's stepson is a graphene freak.

02:03:44.000 Awesome.

02:03:45.000 He must listen to Ian.

02:03:46.000 There's more to it.

02:03:46.000 It's the fene structure.

02:03:48.000 There's like borophene as well, the boron in that same.

02:03:50.000 He's putting, he's building an internet with photons.

02:03:54.000 Okay.

02:03:55.000 Oh yeah.

02:03:55.000 Using light.

02:03:56.000 He's like a physics guy.

02:03:57.000 They're using like sound got like sound guided light instead of electricity.

02:04:01.000 Well, the idea is you can, you can, you can do, you can transmit for internet purposes using photons.

02:04:08.000 Light fidelity.

02:04:10.000 Yes.

02:04:11.000 Cool.

02:04:12.000 That's your nephew?

02:04:13.000 He introduced me, my stepson, he introduced me to graphene.

02:04:16.000 Oh, that's beautiful.

02:04:17.000 Physics, physics guy.

02:04:18.000 Yes, the future.

02:04:19.000 All right, thank you guys all very much for tuning in this casual Tuesday.

02:04:23.000 I am on Pop Culture Crisis tomorrow, 3 to 5 p.m.

02:04:26.000 Eastern Standard Time.

02:04:27.000 Let's see if we can get Brett to dye his hair or to bleach his hair, right?

02:04:31.000 Oh my gosh, so exciting.

02:04:32.000 I'd love to see this.

02:04:33.000 You know you want to see an Eminem, Brett.

02:04:35.000 You do.

02:04:36.000 Oh yeah.

02:04:36.000 Just search.

02:04:37.000 Search Pop Culture Crisis on YouTube.

02:04:39.000 Correct.

02:04:40.000 Subscribe.

02:04:40.000 It is a similar format show to this, but it's actually the more fun version.

02:04:45.000 Like, we laugh sometimes, but Pop Culture Crisis is like money guns firing off while people are talking, landing in coffee, and talking about games, TV shows, movies, so... Yes.

02:04:54.000 It was meant to be more entertainment, where we're very serious and screaming, like, the end is near, Civil War!

02:05:00.000 Alex Jones comes on, he's banging on the table about how he's a gorilla, and you know, actually that's pretty fun.

02:05:04.000 That was pretty fun, too.

02:05:05.000 Yes, it is very fun.

02:05:06.000 It's a totally different vibe.

02:05:07.000 You guys should check it out.

02:05:07.000 Like I always say, politics is downstream of culture.

02:05:10.000 Keep up with the culture on Pop Culture Crisis.

02:05:12.000 You guys can follow me on twitter and minds.com at sarahpatchelitz as well as sarahpatchelitz.me.

02:05:17.000 We will see you all at timcast.com.

02:05:19.000 We'll be hanging out with Peter for a special uncensored segment.

02:05:23.000 It comes up at about 11 p.m.

02:05:25.000 We'll see you all then.
