Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Latest Rittenhouse Filing Could Mean Total Victory For Kyle And Team w-John Pierce

00:00:00.000 We got an interesting development in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:00:24.000 It may not seem like that big of a deal, but I think it strikes the heart of the conservative argument against Kyle.

00:00:29.000 No, no, no, hear me out.

00:00:30.000 Kyle Rittenhouse has a gun charge.

00:00:32.000 People were arguing that he was too young to have a weapon.

00:00:35.000 And now, the legal team has filed a motion to have those charges dismissed.

00:00:40.000 And it may be the case that the charges bunk anyway.

00:00:44.000 If that one is out, then there's literally no argument against Khabrat Nassim anyway.

00:00:50.000 Clearly it was self-defense.

00:00:52.000 Many people on the left have even said, well I shouldn't say many people, but some people on the left have actually admitted that it was self-defense, or at least begrudgingly said it was some kind of conflict.

00:01:00.000 Although the left is adamant about locking this guy up, in my opinion, if this gun charge goes out, I'm not a lawyer.

00:01:07.000 We'll talk to one.

00:01:08.000 But it seems like the only way he'd actually get convicted at this point is if it's political, which very well may be the case.

00:01:14.000 But I've heard arguments from conservatives the gun charge was the one that made sense.

00:01:18.000 Now it may actually be out.

00:01:21.000 We'll see how politics plays a role in this.

00:01:24.000 But joining us today is former lawyer for Kyle Rittenhouse, John Pierce, and you're also the founder of the NCLU.

00:01:30.000 That's right, the National Constitutional Law Union, the NCLU, and that's nclu.com, and the best way to think of it is essentially the ACLU for the rest of us, or what the ACLU used to say that it does.

00:01:41.000 Yeah, isn't that sad?

00:01:43.000 Yeah, no, it is.

00:01:44.000 I mean, it's tragic, and there's a vacuum, and that's why I stepped into it, because the only way that we protect our Constitution in the long run, and get out of this sort of tyrannical downward spiral that we're in, is to fight very hard for people whose constitutional

00:01:59.000 rights are violated.

00:02:00.000 And make no mistake, even though I'm a conservative, this is not a conservative organization, it is not a

00:02:06.000 Republican organization.

00:02:07.000 It's what the ACLU used to say that they did, which was to protect everyone's constitutional rights,

00:02:12.000 and that's what we plan to do.

00:02:13.000 Right on.

00:02:14.000 And we also have a lot to talk about in terms of January 6th as well.

00:02:17.000 Yes, sir.

00:02:18.000 So I believe that I represent by far most of the more January 6th defendants than any other lawyer in the country.

00:02:24.000 I believe the count right now is at 13 and growing.

00:02:26.000 There's a lot of folks that need help and a lot to talk about in that case.

00:02:31.000 We got to go through all that stuff.

00:02:32.000 That's important stuff.

00:02:33.000 Absolutely.

00:02:34.000 We got Ian Gillen.

00:02:35.000 Hey, Ian Crossland, man.

00:02:35.000 Jeez, yeah.

00:02:36.000 What's up?

00:02:37.000 How you doing, Ian?

00:02:38.000 Thanks for coming, man.

00:02:39.000 Absolutely.

00:02:40.000 And I do I do have to say congratulations to everyone on the Cassandra Fairbanks acquisition.

00:02:45.000 I consider Cassandra essentially the best journalist in the country right now.

00:02:50.000 Amazing person.

00:02:51.000 And she just does such great work.

00:02:52.000 So it's amazing to see you all team up.

00:02:55.000 Yeah, she's like literally Well, not literally a rock star, but very close.

00:02:58.000 In my mind, she's there.

00:03:00.000 I'll say this of Cassandra.

00:03:02.000 On Twitter, she certainly is feisty.

00:03:04.000 But her reporting is top-notch.

00:03:08.000 It's straightforward.

00:03:09.000 I would say it's usually very straightforward, well-researched, and well-sourced.

00:03:15.000 Everything I see Cassandra Wright, you know, to me looks spot-on.

00:03:19.000 She is feisty on Twitter.

00:03:21.000 You kind of have to be feisty on Twitter when you get hit.

00:03:23.000 You kind of have to hit back ten times harder or else you're gonna get eaten up.

00:03:26.000 So I kind of like it.

00:03:27.000 Right on.

00:03:28.000 Oh yeah, I'm in the corner as well, as you have come to expect me to be.

00:03:32.000 I'm very delighted because we have an air conditioner now, and that means none of us are going to be shiny and sweating anymore.

00:03:37.000 Yeah, the fans are gone.

00:03:39.000 We got a special AC unit installed because we foolishly put the studio in the highest point of the house.

00:03:44.000 The AC's working, for sure.

00:03:46.000 Oh, it's amazing.

00:03:47.000 And it's one of these ultra-quiet units, but we're moving into a new studio probably in the next month or so.

00:03:52.000 It's gonna be way better.

00:03:54.000 Yeah.

00:03:55.000 The table's gonna be attached to the ceiling.

00:03:56.000 Still looks like you have a little bit of work to do, but it does look like it hasn't.

00:03:59.000 They just started today.

00:04:00.000 So, but yeah, the table's gonna be attached to the ceiling.

00:04:02.000 How about that?

00:04:03.000 I think that's very cool.

00:04:04.000 Yeah.

00:04:04.000 And if it falls, it makes for a great episode.

00:04:06.000 It won't be able to fall, it'll be part of the ceiling.

00:04:08.000 I guess ceilings typically don't fall, so.

00:04:10.000 That's right.

00:04:11.000 There's a secret room in there, is that right?

00:04:13.000 No, what are you talking about?

00:04:14.000 Oh, are you messing with me?

00:04:15.000 There's no secret room.

00:04:15.000 What are you talking about, Ian?

00:04:16.000 Yeah, that wouldn't be a secret if that was the case.

00:04:19.000 I know nothing about any such room.

00:04:20.000 I think we should just rip the wall out and have it be double the size.

00:04:23.000 Ian's talking about a small crawl space where the cat used to break into.

00:04:26.000 Oh yeah, that's how they got up here.

00:04:27.000 I think Tim lied to me earlier today.

00:04:29.000 No.

00:04:29.000 What?

00:04:30.000 Oh, I thought you were messing with me earlier on.

00:04:32.000 No, there's like a crawl space where the AC unit is the cat used to break into.

00:04:36.000 Yeah.

00:04:36.000 Yeah, she used to come up here.

00:04:37.000 Alright, alright.

00:04:38.000 Anyway.

00:04:38.000 Tim, let's go deep.

00:06:26.000 But as John noted, we have Cassandra Fairbanks, who's writing articles. 0.88

00:06:30.000 We just hired a ton of people.

00:06:41.000 But don't forget, you can also like this video right now, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.

00:06:47.000 Let's jump into this first story.

00:06:49.000 It's from Newsweek.

00:06:50.000 Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyer asked judge to dismiss charge she was too young to have a gun. 0.98

00:06:56.000 Rittenhouse's attorney filed a motion asking the judge to dismiss the charge that he was too young to possess a gun under Wisconsin's law, arguing that Rittenhouse's assault-style rifle doesn't fall under the definition of the prohibited short-barreled shotguns and rifles.

00:07:08.000 Mark Richards also filed several other arguments, including a dismissal of a video from July 2020 that prosecutors filed motions last week asking a judge to allow as evidence.

00:07:18.000 Prosecutors said the video shows Rittenhouse hitting a teenage girl in the back of Kenosha's waterfront, but Richards argued the altercation is irrelevant to the case.

00:07:26.000 Richards has similarly argued against prosecutors, claiming Rittenhouse has an affiliation with the Proud Boys, which is a... I love how they just say this, is a far-right extremist group.

00:07:34.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.

00:07:36.000 Okay, well, we're hanging out with John Pierce now.

00:07:38.000 You are not a lawyer for Rittenhouse anymore.

00:07:41.000 That is correct.

00:07:43.000 But you were telling me about this gun charge.

00:07:44.000 It's one of the reasons we want to talk about it.

00:07:46.000 You said it was total BS.

00:07:47.000 Nonsense.

00:07:48.000 But now, just to give some people context who might not be familiar, They're charging him with murder, right?

00:07:53.000 There are multiple homicide charges.

00:07:56.000 I mean, it's been a while since I've looked at the actual charges, but yes.

00:07:59.000 For those that, for whatever reason, don't know what happened, there was ongoing rioting in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

00:08:05.000 Kyle Rittenhouse was there.

00:08:06.000 He had a rifle.

00:08:07.000 He was chased by some men.

00:08:10.000 We've actually had Richie McGinnis, actually we've had Richie and a bunch of other people who are on the ground and witnesses to what happened.

00:08:16.000 Richie laid out everything experienced.

00:08:18.000 Richie's actually the journalist who took off, he took off his shirt, right?

00:08:21.000 Trying to render aid to one of the guys who got shot.

00:08:23.000 He watched it all.

00:08:24.000 And the gist of the story was that several of the rioters had set a dumpster on fire, were pushing it towards a gas station.

00:08:29.000 Kyle or someone from his group put the fire out, enraging many of the rioters.

00:08:34.000 Kyle was chased.

00:08:35.000 As he was running away, He heard a gunshot because a man standing in the street fired a gun.

00:08:41.000 Initially, people thought the gun was fired up into the air, but there are some reports now that it was actually fired towards them.

00:08:46.000 Either way, Kyle hears the shot, turns around.

00:08:49.000 When this guy lunges for his gun, Kyle fires in self-defense.

00:08:53.000 The guy goes down.

00:08:54.000 Kyle then runs to go get help.

00:08:56.000 He's chased by someone saying, what happened?

00:08:58.000 He says, on video you see this, he says, I'm going to get the police.

00:09:01.000 Someone yells something about, get him, that's the guy.

00:09:03.000 He's then chased, knocked to the ground, and some guy runs up with a skateboard, tries to grab the gun, and Kyle fires upward and it goes into his heart.

00:09:11.000 That guy goes down, he's dead.

00:09:12.000 Well, he hit him in the skull with the skateboard, which right then could have killed Kyle, first of all.

00:09:16.000 So the guy with the board actually, yeah.

00:09:19.000 Right here, with the sharp edges of the skateboard.

00:09:21.000 He was under full-scale assault the entire time.

00:09:24.000 And the next guy who came up had a gun.

00:09:26.000 Absolutely.

00:09:27.000 He had a gun and tried grabbing the gun from Kyle and took a .223 to the bicep.

00:09:31.000 I believe it was his right bicep?

00:09:33.000 It was his right bicep.

00:09:33.000 And it vaporized.

00:09:35.000 He had a Glock that he was about literally a half a second from bringing down to execute Kyle while Kyle was sitting on the street.

00:09:42.000 Kyle simply fired that shot a half a second before he got executed by that person.

00:09:48.000 The guy was holding the gun.

00:09:50.000 And you know the guy actually said, I want to be careful here because of the litigation around this, but my understanding, I could be wrong, he actually said that he should have shot him.

00:09:58.000 Like later in an activist rally he said something to that effect.

00:10:01.000 I think it was at his hospital room when he was talking to one of his friends, he said something to the effect that his only regret was that he didn't shoot him and empty his entire magazine.

00:10:10.000 That right there.

00:10:11.000 Kyle was, uh, he was a local resident.

00:10:14.000 People say he crossed state lines.

00:10:15.000 Yeah, what, he lived, what, 20 miles away?

00:10:17.000 It's a suburb.

00:10:18.000 He literally lived right across the street.

00:10:19.000 He worked there.

00:10:20.000 Yes, he worked in the Kenosha area.

00:10:21.000 He worked in Kenosha.

00:10:23.000 And he was there the night before.

00:10:24.000 He did not cross state lines with any weapon.

00:10:26.000 That's nonsense.

00:10:26.000 Right, right.

00:10:27.000 So what ends up happening now is you have the left saying he killed these activists.

00:10:31.000 He was hunting them down. 0.97

00:10:31.000 He's a white supremacist. 0.97

00:10:32.000 It's absurd. 1.00

00:10:33.000 It's absurd.

00:10:33.000 And anybody who goes to the evidence knows that's not true.

00:10:35.000 But there were many conservatives saying, but he wasn't supposed to have a gun.

00:10:39.000 He's underage.

00:10:41.000 Now we're hearing that they want to get that dismissed.

00:10:42.000 The current lawyers want to get that dismissed.

00:10:44.000 And you're saying it was BS anyway.

00:10:45.000 So let's break that down.

00:10:46.000 What do you mean by that?

00:10:47.000 That charge is absolute nonsense.

00:10:49.000 Mark Richards is a terrific lawyer.

00:10:50.000 I'm proud to say that I'm the one that got him, you know, kind of retained on that case.

00:10:55.000 He's doing a great job.

00:10:56.000 He will do a great job.

00:10:58.000 Wisconsin is an open carry state.

00:11:01.000 The type of AR-15 that Kyle had that night, which is a long barrel AR-15, is completely legal in that state.

00:11:09.000 It's legal for Kyle to have had possession of it at that age.

00:11:15.000 If that rifle had been shorter, potentially there may have been an argument under that statute that there's an issue.

00:11:24.000 Also, if I recall correctly, there's a very strong argument, and I think Mark made it in his motion, that that statute relates to various hunting regulations that have nothing to do with that case.

00:11:35.000 Uh, that- that charge should be dismissed.

00:11:37.000 It never should have been brought- none of these charges should have been brought.

00:11:39.000 But that- that charge- that charge should go away.

00:11:41.000 way. Mark Richards is absolutely correct that that charge should be dismissed.

00:11:43.000 It was interesting seeing even a lot of conservatives on Twitter mentioning that

00:11:47.000 maybe you know some people said he shouldn't have had the gun and they're

00:11:52.000 gonna get him because if in the process of committing one crime someone dies

00:11:55.000 you get charged for that and then people said you're allowed even if you're not

00:11:59.000 allowed to have the gun picking up a gun in self-defense or having one in

00:12:02.000 self-defense is exempt. There's a lot of arguments about it but I guess none of

00:12:05.000 it matters because the law itself doesn't even apply to what Kyle was doing.

00:12:09.000 That law does not apply to that weapon.

00:12:11.000 It does not apply in the context of what happened.

00:12:14.000 The charge should not have been brought.

00:12:16.000 This is a totally, totally political persecution.

00:12:19.000 It's not even close.

00:12:21.000 It's not even close.

00:12:22.000 This case needs to be dropped.

00:12:24.000 If somehow, someway, these political Soros-funded prosecutors in Kenosha, Wisconsin, get some kind of conviction against Kyle Rittenhouse, It will be a travesty and it will go a long way towards eviscerating the right of self-defense that all of us have.

00:12:40.000 I agree.

00:12:41.000 Now, I've said in the past, though, I mean, so this looks like any rational argument that a reasonable person might presume is out the window.

00:12:48.000 We had a leftist on who said, he actually, this guy Destiny, he got kicked out of the Twitch partner program for saying that it was the clearest case of self-defense he had ever seen.

00:12:59.000 And this is a leftist who said this!

00:13:01.000 I mean, this is a guy we had in here, and he was defending critical race theory and social justice and all this stuff.

00:13:05.000 We clearly disagreed, but he was like, oh, come on.

00:13:07.000 If you're being honest, you saw the video, you know it was self-defense.

00:13:10.000 It's in fact virtually a perfect case of self-defense, because on every element of self-defense, it's not just that he meets the standard.

00:13:20.000 I mean, he exceeds it by orders of magnitude.

00:13:24.000 Like he was running away?

00:13:25.000 Like he was running away.

00:13:26.000 Like people were trying to kill him at every moment. 0.98

00:13:29.000 Like they were trying to take his rifle and, you know, shoot him with it.

00:13:33.000 Like the individual you mentioned literally had a Glock in his hand that he was bringing down.

00:13:40.000 Who later expressed his desire to just unload into the guy.

00:13:44.000 And someone fired first.

00:13:46.000 It's mind-blowing to me.

00:13:48.000 From behind him, in his direction, they attempted to ambush him.

00:13:52.000 And when Kyle turned around, Joseph Rosenbaum was coming at him at full speed and was literally right on top of him, lunging for the barrel of the weapon, as Richie has noted.

00:14:01.000 This is crazy.

00:14:03.000 How did it end up that he's being charged with these things?

00:14:07.000 I mean, look, this is why the George Soros's of the world are very, very dangerous.

00:14:13.000 I mean, prosecutors, local and federal, have extraordinary discretion. 0.99

00:14:18.000 You know, George Soros, for all of his flaws, is no idiot. 0.72

00:14:21.000 And he has gone a long way in places like Philadelphia and in Los Angeles with this Gascon guy out there. 0.99

00:14:27.000 Is it Chesa Bowden as well?

00:14:29.000 I believe that's right.

00:14:30.000 I mean, they're Fox.

00:14:31.000 Yeah, it's it's it's a very, very dangerous.

00:14:35.000 I mean, physically dangerous thing for the citizens of these cities, because these because they are essentially choosing outright and announcing that they're not going to be prosecuting all manner of crimes.

00:14:46.000 I mean, for example, in San Francisco, and you know, California, essentially, they've said they will not prosecute shoplifting crimes if it's a value of under like $900.

00:14:53.000 I mean, so you see the Neiman Marcus video?

00:14:56.000 I do not.

00:14:56.000 I did not.

00:14:57.000 It's just like 10 people running out of the building full speed carrying stacks of stuff.

00:15:01.000 Well, that's $9,000 worth of stuff without prosecution.

00:15:04.000 Maybe you can call it a conspiracy, but no one's enforcing it.

00:15:07.000 There's another video that just started going viral where it's people walking and filling

00:15:11.000 up bags casually with no masks on, just filling them up and then just walking out the door.

00:15:16.000 It's not rocket science to anticipate the impact that these sorts of policies and these

00:15:21.000 sorts of prosecutors will have on the complete breakdown of law and order in these cities.

00:15:26.000 And it's happening, and regular Americans see that it's happening, and the left may underestimate regular Americans, but I believe they're going to get punished severely at the ballot box as a result of this.

00:15:39.000 Now, after Chauvin, I said, Kyle's going to get life.

00:15:42.000 That's what I said after I watched it happen with Chauvin because you had a few very important points there that the defense tried getting the venue changed because of the riots and the judge said everybody in Minnesota knows who this guy is there's no venue where he can go and that to me is astounding because it was an admission that there would be no fair trial in which case case is dismissed free to go because we don't lock people up unless they get a fair trial unless we go through due process what went when that happened

00:16:09.000 then you saw the the the jurors being led into the courthouse with

00:16:13.000 armed men protect them from the extremists that have been attacking

00:16:16.000 brooklyn heights and it was broken center

00:16:18.000 brooklyn center yeah clearly these people were being influenced and they even

00:16:22.000 admitted it after the fact saying that they were scared well you had

00:16:26.000 maxine waters show up right in the middle of it you know demanding that 1.00

00:16:30.000 everything continued to burn if there wasn't the quote-unquote right uh... you know

00:16:34.000 verdict you had Joe Biden, who's advocating for the quote unquote correct

00:16:39.000 or right verdict.

00:16:40.000 And his excuse was that, well, jury deliberations had started, so therefore they're sequestered.

00:16:44.000 So, you know, that won't impact things.

00:16:45.000 I mean, this is, these are things that are fundamental.

00:16:48.000 I mean, the criminal and civil jury system in the United States is so fundamental to our freedoms.

00:16:56.000 It goes back, you know, to the Magna Carta, et cetera.

00:16:59.000 The jury is the, along with, you know, sheriffs at different times and different circumstances, the jury is the last bastion of protection.

00:17:06.000 for people who are, you know, wrongfully charged.

00:17:09.000 Look, I will say, I'm a jury trial lawyer.

00:17:12.000 That's what I do.

00:17:13.000 I have immense faith in juries.

00:17:18.000 That Chauvin trial was very concerning.

00:17:20.000 But Kyle is totally innocent, and I have complete faith that that jury is going to find it the right way.

00:17:26.000 But you think, like, there's going to be riots.

00:17:29.000 The jury is going to be sitting there staring, saying, who wants to be the martyr?

00:17:33.000 They're going to say, not me.

00:17:35.000 I have complete faith that that jury is going to come back with the right verdict.

00:17:40.000 The case is so clear.

00:17:42.000 I don't see, at Wisconsin, an American jury coming back with any other result.

00:17:48.000 You know, the big difference between that and Chauvin is, with Chauvin, there was big arguments about the amount of force, whether or not Chauvin should have kept his knee on his back or neck or whichever you perceived it as, that he should have rendered aid immediately when Floyd stopped moving.

00:18:03.000 So there's arguments.

00:18:04.000 Well, look, with Chauvin, you have the 800-pound gorilla of the nine-minute video that is shown over and over and over again, right?

00:18:14.000 That's an extremely tough video to watch, and it's a tough piece of evidence to overcome.

00:18:20.000 Kind of the converse, I think you have with Kyle, which is it's probably the first, you know, criminal trial in history where it's literally as if you were watching the Super Bowl and there were 100 different angles of high definition video of everything that was happening that you can sync up.

00:18:36.000 There is there is simply no way around the conclusion that there was 100% perfect self-defense.

00:18:41.000 Yeah, but you could still get a jury that just says, I'm not falling on that sword.

00:18:45.000 I have complete faith in Mark Richards and that jury.

00:18:47.000 All right, all right.

00:18:48.000 I think it'll be particularly interesting.

00:18:50.000 But let's jump to this next subject, January 6, because, you know, we're talking about George Floyd.

00:18:56.000 Somebody tweeted something about conservatives and the double standard.

00:18:59.000 There was some conservative who said something about, you know, why don't we know who killed Ashley Babbitt?

00:19:06.000 We should have this information released immediately with George Floyd.

00:19:08.000 We got this big show trial in the press.

00:19:10.000 And then someone said, like, how are conservatives not understanding, you know, the differences between George Floyd and Ashley Babbitt?

00:19:17.000 They were like, it's a double standard that they don't care about Floyd, but they only care about her because they're racist.

00:19:21.000 And I said, Ashley Babbitt wasn't chewing on a speedball behind the wheel of a car and then actively resisting police.

00:19:28.000 I'm like, I'm not saying that, you know, George Floyd deserved or any of that should have happened, but Ashley Babbitt stood up and looked through a window and took a bullet to the neck, right?

00:19:36.000 So, first of all, I pray for Ashley Babbitt's family and I pray for them to obtain the justice that they deserve.

00:19:45.000 There's all kinds of strange things going on with everything related to January 6th.

00:19:50.000 So, specifically with respect to what you just mentioned, you know, was she shot in the stomach?

00:19:55.000 Was she shot in the shoulder?

00:19:56.000 Was she shot in the neck?

00:19:57.000 There are basically three different stories that have come out, you know, from the medical examiner, from the media, etc.

00:20:06.000 You know, the chief of the Capitol Police, who either resigned or was ousted a couple days after the event, a few weeks after his firing or his resignation, wrote an eight-page letter, I think his name is Stephen Sundlund, wrote an eight-page letter to Nancy Pelosi, essentially, you know, writing about what happened that day in sort of an after-action review.

00:20:28.000 There is no mention whatsoever of the Ashley Babbitt shooting in that letter.

00:20:32.000 Whatsoever.

00:20:34.000 Why is that?

00:20:35.000 How is that possible?

00:20:39.000 The truth is going to come out about everything that happened on January 6th.

00:20:46.000 It is going to take some time, but the true January 6th commission is going to be what happens in those Article 3 federal courtrooms whenever we try these cases.

00:20:57.000 I represent 13 of these people, and I will tell you that we are taking every single one of these cases to trial.

00:21:04.000 We're going to expose exactly what happened that day, how it happened, who's behind it, what happened, etc.

00:21:11.000 With respect to the double standard, obviously I need to be a little bit circumspect about the way I talk about the particular cases that I'm a lawyer in, and juries will decide the outcome of those cases.

00:21:24.000 But what a lot of Americans are saying, and I think it's undeniable and it's self-evident, is that, you know, where are the pre-dawn raids to round up the hundreds and hundreds of people, the Antifa folks who burned down Kenosha and Portland and Minneapolis and Los Angeles, and in effect held a federal courthouse under siege in Portland for over a hundred days, including attempting, not very effectively, but attempting to burn it down.

00:21:49.000 Well, they broke in several times.

00:21:51.000 They used some kind of welding tool to cut through the locks.

00:21:53.000 Yeah, and they tried to burn it down when human beings were inside.

00:21:57.000 Yep.

00:21:57.000 Okay.

00:21:58.000 So, you know, we have pre-dawn raids with AR-15s where there are three-year-olds in the house, you know, with folks like, you know, 73-year-old pastors who are Vietnam veterans with no criminal record.

00:22:12.000 Where is the priority to protect, like, regular American cities?

00:22:17.000 And I think that it's just self-evident, and a lot of Americans see that there seems to be a dual standard of justice right now.

00:22:25.000 And think about how dangerous they think that is.

00:22:28.000 A fundamental precept of the American system, the American idea, the American Constitution, is that there is equal justice under the law. When the

00:22:37.000 faith in that idea starts to crumble, and in fact I would say starts to be shattered, as it is

00:22:43.000 right now, that's a very, very dangerous thing for a free society and a constitutional public to

00:22:47.000 hold together for very long.

00:22:48.000 I watch rich people just walk on law. I mean, when Hillary Clinton's email scandal dropped, 0.99

00:22:54.000 she was a Secretary of State and was involved in getting Sidney Blumenthal in Libya, like some of

00:22:58.000 the most criminal actions of getting us into a war in Libya, directly against Obama's direct

00:23:04.000 order that she can't work with Sidney Blumenthal.

00:23:06.000 She worked with him anyway.

00:23:08.000 She destroyed public records and got away with it. 0.99

00:23:10.000 Classified.

00:23:12.000 Including classified.

00:23:13.000 Equal protection under the law.

00:23:14.000 I'm sorry, it was about yoga or whatever.

00:23:17.000 Yeah, they were talking about yoga and birthday parties.

00:23:18.000 And of course, as you probably noticed, the journalist who essentially broke the story of Loretta Lynch meeting with Bill on the tarmac has been suicided.

00:23:30.000 Well, the journalist who broke the story, this one, I don't think, you know, people look too much into this.

00:23:37.000 There was an anchor.

00:23:39.000 He reported the story.

00:23:39.000 He wrote on that story for years.

00:23:42.000 He wrote a book about it.

00:23:45.000 I don't look too much into that.

00:23:47.000 It doesn't make sense for me.

00:23:48.000 For me, that would be a conspiracy in any way.

00:23:49.000 I think sometimes people, you know what I think?

00:23:52.000 We talked about this on the show.

00:23:53.000 Here's a guy who breaks this story, turns out to be one of the biggest stories.

00:23:56.000 He then rides on that for a year or so, telling everybody, oh, I'm the guy who reported it, but he's just a guy who talked on TV about it.

00:24:01.000 He writes a book about it.

00:24:03.000 He then does a book tour about it.

00:24:04.000 Two years go by, dude's got nothing left.

00:24:07.000 I think, I don't think there's like, we're going to wait six years and then retaliate against him.

00:24:12.000 No, I think it's a guy who almost touched the sky and then, you know, with all due respect to his family and his sad story, but I just don't see it.

00:24:20.000 Look, obviously I have no first-hand knowledge about it.

00:24:23.000 I just do know there is a lengthy count of deaths and suicides in the Clinton past.

00:24:30.000 I think that's all exaggerated.

00:24:32.000 I've looked through so much of this, this idea of the Clinton stuff.

00:24:36.000 And there's like a bunch of memes and I'm like, there was one where it was like an accountant at a firm that once

00:24:42.000 worked at the Clintons.

00:24:42.000 I'm like, come on, dude, the firm's got 3000 employees or whatever.

00:24:45.000 People really stretch it.

00:24:47.000 You know, what you got to be careful of is the confirmation bias in that this guy reported a story like six years ago.

00:24:54.000 And then like, what are we supposed to assume that the Clintons like in six years time, we'll get our revenge and

00:24:59.000 expose ourselves to massive risk for no reason.

00:25:03.000 A bunch of these stories that come out about the Clintons are like... 0.95

00:25:07.000 Strange, circuitous connections that I think are just silly.

00:25:10.000 But the email thing is not.

00:25:12.000 The email thing's legit.

00:25:13.000 That's a blatant crime.

00:25:14.000 It was a crime that she committed that she wasn't charged for.

00:25:16.000 And Loretta Lynch was basically investigating that, right?

00:25:20.000 She was in charge.

00:25:20.000 She was what, the Attorney General or something at the time?

00:25:22.000 And then Bill Clinton went and met with her and had a conversation off the record that people could see happening.

00:25:28.000 And then the charges got dropped.

00:25:29.000 Is that what it was?

00:25:30.000 Or the investigation didn't go forward?

00:25:33.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:25:33.000 I mean, you know, James Comey held a very sort of famous or infamous, you know, press conference in which he went through sort of, you know, 15 minutes of talking about, you know, how sort of reckless and negligent and bad this was about the emails and then sort of surprisingly at the end sort of dropped the bomb that, you know, it didn't rise to the level of her being prosecuted or whatever.

00:25:53.000 But you know that's not something that FBI directors do.

00:25:57.000 They have an investigation, they make a recommendation to the Department of Justice as to the evidence,

00:26:04.000 and then that proceeds.

00:26:07.000 That was odd to say the least.

00:26:08.000 Oh yeah, I mean 2016 was one heck of a weird year.

00:26:12.000 It's like reality just broke.

00:26:14.000 A lot of people like to mention that the CERN Large Hadron Collider went off.

00:26:20.000 And then, you know, we get the whole universe is in disarray.

00:26:24.000 But I want to mention something too.

00:26:25.000 A lot of people don't understand.

00:26:26.000 I think there's a lot of people who want to believe in a lot of conspiracies.

00:26:30.000 You'll see like a meme photo and a list of a bunch of names and then draw lines and connect them.

00:26:34.000 Okay, I actually go through those names and I look up the records of the individual where they worked and I've looked into a lot of those memes and I'm like, It's just... You could do this to almost any person in a high-profile position.

00:26:47.000 There's this new one going around where the San Francisco Gay Men's Choir, they recorded this video where they said, we're coming for your children.

00:26:54.000 And it's a creepy video.

00:26:55.000 I think it's really creepy and purposefully antagonistic, like to an extreme degree, where they started getting serious hate and took the video down.

00:27:02.000 But 4chan's coming out and digging up their names from the choir, and then connecting them to the sex offender list.

00:27:10.000 I also started—I was like, okay, let's see if some of these things are true.

00:27:14.000 And they do these memes, they show the name, they connect the line, and then I—these—it's just—it's not legitimate.

00:27:21.000 It's not real.

00:27:22.000 Far be it for me to say that 4chan's got it wrong, but they certainly don't have enough evidence yet.

00:27:26.000 Yeah.

00:27:26.000 So you gotta be careful about these meme things that go around because I've tried to dig up stuff on this and it's just not there.

00:27:33.000 Look, I used to be, you know, one of these people that whenever you would watch, you know, the Oliver Stone movie, JFK, I'd think, well, that's interesting, you know, but I mean, you know, like, come on.

00:27:43.000 Was there really anybody else besides Lee Harvey Oswald?

00:27:48.000 I will just tell you that in light of the litigations I have been involved in in the past four to five years with respect to representing George Papadopoulos and Carter Page and Rudy Giuliani and Tulsi and Kyle and now January 6th, There's a lot of narratives that turn out to be just completely and totally fake, and they end up being just destroyed after a period of, you know, three or four months, whether it be, you know, sort of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.

00:28:19.000 Exactly.

00:28:21.000 But those are conspiracy theories, too.

00:28:22.000 That's the thing, you know?

00:28:23.000 Yeah.

00:28:24.000 Unless you have the hard evidence that you can put out and you can definitively draw those lines.

00:28:28.000 Yeah.

00:28:29.000 You know, I just say, OK, yeah, whatever.

00:28:31.000 Yeah.

00:28:31.000 You know, I'm just in light of the in light of the the things that I am, you know, learning as a lawyer, probably most involved in the January 6 cases.

00:28:41.000 And again, you know, we'll let juries decide what happened there.

00:28:45.000 They're just they're just there's just a lot of questions.

00:28:46.000 With respect to to Ashley Babbitt, we still don't know the name of the individual who fired on her, who shot her.

00:28:53.000 Well, I mean, some people think that they know.

00:28:54.000 I've seen allegations, but nothing's been confirmed.

00:28:58.000 Yeah, no, that's right.

00:28:59.000 I mean, they have not officially named the person who fired that shot.

00:29:07.000 And why is that?

00:29:08.000 I mean, where's the explanation for why that is?

00:29:10.000 I would say because as political imprisonment is a type of thing, so is political protection.

00:29:15.000 And both Yeah, and the issue is, look, the issue is if this was kind of, you know, look, just, I mean, imagine, I think, I mean, if it was converse, uh, in terms of the politics, um, I don't think, I don't, I don't think that, um, you know.

00:29:30.000 That guy would be, like, strung up in D.C.

00:29:32.000 Exactly.

00:29:34.000 That name would not be, you know.

00:29:35.000 His house would be burnt to the ground.

00:29:37.000 Publicly.

00:29:37.000 His business.

00:29:38.000 Paraded.

00:29:39.000 Right.

00:29:39.000 Oh, yeah.

00:29:40.000 Yeah, they go after him like crazy.

00:29:42.000 I mean, there was a report from the New York Times where they went, the Portland rioters, where they're marching around, stopped at some guy's house and then started like yelling at him for him to come out.

00:29:52.000 They threatened to burn down his home for simply waving an American flag.

00:29:56.000 So, of course, we know if there was a bunch of, you know, let's just call them pink hats, like when they shut down the Congressional building that one time and they occupied, or when they're banging on the doors of the Supreme Court trying to get the door open, if one of them took a hit. 0.79

00:30:09.000 Yeah.

00:30:10.000 Oof.

00:30:10.000 Well, it's also like, look at the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.

00:30:14.000 Right.

00:30:15.000 Banging on the doors.

00:30:16.000 They were trying to shut down that.

00:30:18.000 You know, they were trying to shut down that.

00:30:20.000 Insurrection.

00:30:22.000 And let me touch on the insurrection idea, okay?

00:30:24.000 Because just from a legal standpoint, a factual standpoint, I mean, that is nonsense.

00:30:29.000 Because, well it is, I mean, hear me out, which is just that that's an actual crime.

00:30:35.000 I mean, insurrection is a crime.

00:30:36.000 Yeah.

00:30:37.000 And you can be sure.

00:30:39.000 Can you be charged with insurrection?

00:30:41.000 Absolutely.

00:30:41.000 And none of them have been charged with insurrection?

00:30:44.000 Zero. 0.95

00:30:45.000 So ridiculous.

00:30:46.000 So you can be sure that if the federal prosecutors felt like the elements of the crime of insurrection were met, I'm confident out of 550 cases and counting probably going up to close to 1000 at some point, there would be some such charge.

00:30:58.000 For those that are listening and not watching, because we do the podcast, John held up a zero sign.

00:31:04.000 Yeah, just none, none.

00:31:05.000 You know, we saw the Capitol Police, they're expanding nationally.

00:31:09.000 I saw that.

00:31:10.000 I've heard some other rumors too, but just for now, it's like they're gonna set up a couple offices.

00:31:14.000 I have a soft prediction in that I think once they get all of the people who are actually in the capital, they're gonna go after material support.

00:31:21.000 They're gonna be like, our mission isn't over, we gotta track down these extremists who are providing material support for these individuals who engaged in insurrection, blah blah blah.

00:31:30.000 It doesn't seem right now like there is much of an end in sight for a little while there.

00:31:35.000 It felt like, and I'm not sure if I felt like I heard this from, you know, the DOJ or from a prosecutor in a public hearing, but it kind of felt like they were preparing to wind down with respect to rounding folks up, you know, that they might charge another hundred or so folks and it might be, you know, five hundred, fifty, six hundred that are charged.

00:31:53.000 It seems like they're almost reinvigorated right now with respect to... They need this.

00:31:59.000 They absolutely need this.

00:32:00.000 Well, look, the country's obviously not going very well with respect to inflation and with respect to foreign policy and with respect to all kinds of things.

00:32:09.000 So, you know, there's a narrative that... We got an election year coming.

00:32:13.000 We do.

00:32:14.000 Republicans are predicted by many to sweep.

00:32:17.000 I mean, I think even FiveThirtyEight's already saying Republicans are expected to take control of the House.

00:32:21.000 I mean, I would be—I'm not an expert.

00:32:23.000 Then they'll impeach Biden.

00:32:25.000 No, they won't, they won't.

00:32:26.000 Republicans are too weak.

00:32:27.000 I'm not an expert, you know, political analyst, but I—look, I mean, the regular people in the middle of this country see what's going on on every front.

00:32:38.000 They all want a basic degree of law and order.

00:32:42.000 They all don't want to see their gas prices go up to $10 or whatever it might go up to.

00:32:48.000 They all want to feel like we do not live in a authoritarian surveillance state.

00:32:52.000 So I believe it's going to be a huge red wave in 2022.

00:32:56.000 Do you think the Republicans should impeach Joe Biden?

00:32:59.000 Wasn't it Marjorie Taylor Greene?

00:33:00.000 She was like, she introduced a bill to impeach him already.

00:33:04.000 Yeah, you know, I think that would be reckless to say at this point.

00:33:08.000 I mean, here's the thing that's happening.

00:33:10.000 It's bad in the last several years in this country.

00:33:12.000 And this is what brought down the Roman Republic, for sure, is the weaponization of criminal law to attack political opponents.

00:33:23.000 Because what happens is that becomes a vicious, vicious cycle that descends into violence and retribution very quickly.

00:33:31.000 Because the political pendulum will swing, naturally.

00:33:35.000 What's the inverse?

00:33:37.000 If Republicans don't fight back, then basically Democrats just keep wielding power unethically?

00:33:42.000 Look, Republicans have to fight back.

00:33:46.000 Metaphorically, they have to fight back, and they have to fight back extremely hard on every front.

00:33:53.000 Look, and politics is a, you know, again, metaphorically, politics is a street fight, you know, and they have to be tough.

00:34:01.000 But, you know, I'm a lawyer.

00:34:03.000 You know, I'm a huge believer in the rule of law.

00:34:06.000 I'm a huge believer in our constitutional republic and in our constitution.

00:34:10.000 And, you know, I believe that, you know, the right, conservatives, have to do it in a proper way.

00:34:20.000 You know, if it just goes back and forth with everybody just tossing out the Constitution and just using every possible weapon to destroy their political opponent, I mean, there will be no end to it.

00:34:31.000 Joe Biden lied about being involved in business dealings with his son.

00:34:35.000 Oh, I'm no fan of Joe Biden whatsoever.

00:34:40.000 There are photos of Joe Biden standing with Hunter Biden's business partners from Mexico.

00:34:44.000 There's the communications, there's the witnesses.

00:34:47.000 This is well above and beyond.

00:34:49.000 We can't enter this period where we're like, you know, we have evidence that Joe Biden lied and was engaging in selling his name and power, but we're not going to impeach him because then we'd look like the Democrats for what they did to Trump unjustly.

00:35:02.000 Yeah, no, and make no mistake, when I say, you know, sitting here right now for me to advocate impeachment might be a little bit reckless.

00:35:08.000 What I'm saying is, you know, I haven't personally taken the time to look, you know, to look at the, you know, the hard drive and to look at the actual evidence.

00:35:15.000 You know, obviously, I've heard a lot about that.

00:35:17.000 And if the things that, you know, seem to be on the hard drive, which they seem to be, then yes, impeachment would absolutely be appropriate.

00:35:26.000 It's 100%.

00:35:27.000 Matt Taibbi dug into the Ukraine stuff.

00:35:30.000 What was the name of the confidant?

00:35:30.000 criminal there are multiple I think at least a dozen criminal investigations

00:35:34.000 into my call as I just can't berisma and Joe Biden got shut down tit-for-tat you

00:35:38.000 don't want if you want the money you shut this down a million they absolutely

00:35:42.000 were going after Biden's interests we know because of what was the name of the

00:35:46.000 confidant for the the Biden family guy who came out I don't remember his name

00:35:51.000 googly now yeah yeah Matt What was his name?

00:35:55.000 Bubliano or something like that.

00:36:00.000 This confidant comes out and says... And he seemed extremely credible, by the way.

00:36:04.000 But outside of that, because obviously I can't remember the guy's name, I'll discount that bit of evidence.

00:36:08.000 But when I was covering a lot of this, I was looking at international news sources, I was fact-checking, I was looking at all of it.

00:36:13.000 It is beyond a reasonable doubt.

00:36:15.000 Zlochevsky flees the country.

00:36:17.000 There's an investigation.

00:36:19.000 Biden says, we got to get a new prosecutor because that one's corrupt.

00:36:22.000 And he wasn't going after the corruption.

00:36:25.000 The new prosecutor comes in.

00:36:27.000 Burisma guy comes back to Ukraine. 1.00

00:36:29.000 Investigation's over.

00:36:30.000 You're free to go.

00:36:31.000 Your money's been unlocked.

00:36:32.000 Don't worry. 0.99

00:36:33.000 Papa Biden came in and saved your butt. 0.98

00:36:35.000 Donald Trump gets in. 0.99

00:36:36.000 Dude flees to Monaco. 1.00

00:36:37.000 It's like you got to be a special kind of dumb or liar. 1.00

00:36:42.000 So we look at what Donald Trump was accused of. 1.00

00:36:44.000 Please investigate this crime.

00:36:46.000 We must impeach him!

00:36:47.000 They impeach him over it.

00:36:48.000 Now we actually see the photographs, because of the laptop, where Joe Biden is standing with his son's business partners.

00:36:54.000 What did he say to us?

00:36:56.000 I have never talked to my son about any of this stuff.

00:36:58.000 It is beyond a reasonable doubt, based on the investigations that I've done.

00:37:03.000 And there's still so much more evidence from that laptop that has not been released.

00:37:07.000 I think Republicans, the first thing they should do is they get in and impeach the guy.

00:37:10.000 And then let it all lay out in court.

00:37:12.000 In the Senate trial.

00:37:14.000 If I'm in Congress in 2022, I think there would be a very favorable ear coming from me on that front.

00:37:21.000 Matt Taibbi's no conservative.

00:37:23.000 You know, and he wrote, he wrote it, he did, he investigated this and he said the claims

00:37:28.000 that there were no investigation of this are just wrong.

00:37:31.000 Like none of these people actually did any legwork.

00:37:32.000 No, it's obvious.

00:37:34.000 What did Twitter do with the laptop stories before an election?

00:37:36.000 Well that's where I was going to kind of go with this.

00:37:39.000 They're obviously lying.

00:37:40.000 Well, look, it's to the point where, you know, it's, I think it's criminal, you know, conspiracy

00:37:48.000 that the big tech companies are involved in, likely with foreign powers, to decide to just

00:37:56.000 cover these things up.

00:37:57.000 I mean, for them to make the New York Post story about the laptop just go completely dark for, you know, whatever it was, a couple weeks or a month before the election.

00:38:10.000 A couple weeks after?

00:38:13.000 What if it was domestic?

00:38:17.000 They're colluding with domestic powers. 0.62

00:38:19.000 Would that also be criminal?

00:38:20.000 Or is that legal then because it's American CIA or whatever?

00:38:24.000 I gotta tell you, it's not my field of expertise with respect to the law or anything, but it's got to be in violation of some federal criminal statute for a private entity to intentionally try to cover some of that stuff up.

00:38:41.000 Actually, as I speak out loud about it, I think one legal theory that has started to come to the fore, which I think is probably a good one, is that it's actually a campaign finance violation.

00:38:50.000 And I think there have been lawsuits filed about this because they are, you know, and again, I'm not a campaign finance expert, but certainly what it seems to be is them providing an in-kind contribution to the campaign that is, I assure you, was probably not reported and it was, you know, probably worth it.

00:39:08.000 I think it would be more criminal.

00:39:10.000 Suppression is different from promotion.

00:39:13.000 You know, if they're promoting an ad about Biden for free, then you can argue they're giving him an in-kind donation.

00:39:19.000 suppressing negative news, that's something else. That is causing, I mean, you've got some civil

00:39:26.000 torts there, I suppose, with harming the New York Post under false pretenses and defaming the New

00:39:31.000 York Post. The New York Post should have sued for defamation when they said it was hacked materials

00:39:35.000 and the Post said repeatedly it was not hacked. It's libelous.

00:39:39.000 They absolutely should have, and obviously... They still can, right?

00:39:43.000 It's not been that long.

00:39:44.000 Yeah.

00:39:44.000 What's the statute of limitations?

00:39:46.000 It differs by jurisdiction.

00:39:48.000 Sometimes it's a year, sometimes it's two years.

00:39:49.000 They've still got time.

00:39:50.000 It's certainly at least a year.

00:39:52.000 But like we talked about, people like James O'Keefe have started to step up and start to sue these companies.

00:40:00.000 Look, it's got to be those big organizations that have resources to do it, because regular Americans can't do it.

00:40:04.000 All right, so here's what we need.

00:40:05.000 New York Post, why aren't you filing defamation against Facebook and Twitter for claiming that the materials you had were hacked even though you stated several times they were not hacked materials?

00:40:16.000 They lied to the public and they used it as a pretext to cause harm to your business.

00:40:20.000 You've got clear damages in the amount of views you lost based on the size of the story and the percentage of suppression on the story.

00:40:28.000 If they said they're suppressing it, file Some kind of suit against them.

00:40:32.000 Go to Discovery.

00:40:33.000 I want to see their algorithms.

00:40:35.000 I want to know what percentage you were suppressed.

00:40:36.000 Hey, make that information public.

00:40:38.000 Then we'll know how much money you lost.

00:40:40.000 Then we'll actually have a claim against them, or the people will actually get to see someone fighting back.

00:40:44.000 Well, the New York Post hasn't done that.

00:40:45.000 I don't know why.

00:40:46.000 The other thing is, Joe Biden should be impeached.

00:40:48.000 Just bring it on, Republicans.

00:40:49.000 Win in 2022.

00:40:50.000 First day, the first thing that should happen, they should rubber stamp that impeachment, send it to the Senate.

00:40:56.000 Hey, I'm not going to stand in the way of Joe Biden impeachment.

00:40:58.000 But you know, they're going to love it.

00:40:59.000 They're going to be like, oh no, now Kamala Harris is president. 1.00

00:41:03.000 There's that too.

00:41:04.000 You know, there's also the... I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happens.

00:41:07.000 Well, there's also, you know, the 25th Amendment lurking in the background.

00:41:09.000 There's obvious health issues that are lurking in the background.

00:41:14.000 Have you seen the photo of Lori Lightfoot meeting with Biden?

00:41:17.000 I'm not sure that I've... She's got this look on her face of dislike.

00:41:20.000 Like, oh no.

00:41:22.000 And some people were claiming, like, that look when people finally meet Biden, they realize, this guy is broken.

00:41:29.000 Like, it's worse than we realized.

00:41:31.000 And I think it seems to have accelerated, even since the inauguration.

00:41:36.000 I mean, you know, he's over there, you know, traveling Europe, and I think he was giving a speech before the British military, and it's like, literally, a sentence can't be put together.

00:41:45.000 And that's... He was able to say, Trudin on a shot of pressure.

00:41:49.000 I mean, that's a hard word for me to say.

00:41:51.000 What was the word again?

00:41:53.000 Tru-in-an-on-a-shaba-da-pressure.

00:41:55.000 I had to try really hard to figure out how to say that word.

00:41:58.000 Is that like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

00:42:01.000 He said it!

00:42:02.000 He said Tru-in-an-on-a-shaba-da-pressure.

00:42:03.000 He also said madcap care.

00:42:04.000 Perfectly.

00:42:05.000 Tru-international-something-under-pressure.

00:42:09.000 I don't know.

00:42:09.000 I'm gonna have Tru-in-an-on-a-shaba-da-pressure.

00:42:12.000 I'd like to hear him rap.

00:42:13.000 He could probably rap pretty well.

00:42:15.000 No, no, but he could give him an image.

00:42:22.000 If he didn't say that intentionally, that's the point.

00:42:23.000 Except he wouldn't make it nine miles, right?

00:42:26.000 Nine miles.

00:42:26.000 If the New York Post went at Biden, or sued Twitter rather, and then it came out that actually the CIA instructed us to do this, so now would they have immunity?

00:42:37.000 God, I mean, there's so many fundamental constitutional issues that it raises.

00:42:44.000 If this national security state was involved in that, I don't even know where to begin.

00:42:50.000 Isn't it true, though, that Democrats in California were telling Twitter who to ban?

00:42:56.000 Have you heard that story?

00:42:58.000 I have heard that story, and I have to believe it's probably correct. 0.97

00:43:04.000 Again, with some of these things, I'm so busy with some of these cases that I don't have time to do the same kind of research and really look at the raw data that might be useful.

00:43:17.000 But it would shock me if that weren't the case.

00:43:19.000 I have to pull it up, because we talked about it before, but basically there were communications between Democrats saying like, hey, look at this, and they're like, oh, we'll get rid of it.

00:43:25.000 Look, I think there's no doubt that, look, all of these things are connected.

00:43:31.000 I mean, the radical left has overtaken, you know, essentially every major sort of institution in the country from academia to Wall Street to Silicon Valley to, you know, now federal law enforcement.

00:43:41.000 And was it Mark Milley?

00:43:44.000 Oh, don't get me started.

00:43:46.000 I mean, I'd love to get started.

00:43:50.000 That was disgraceful.

00:43:52.000 As I mentioned to you before the show, I served in the 1st Cavalry Division in the mid-90s, and I was airborne, and I'm extremely proud of that, and I love this country. 0.98

00:44:03.000 For a four-star general to buy into this critical race theory garbage that is so toxic and so poisonous and is tearing this country apart, it's sickening. 0.89

00:44:17.000 The United States military has one job, and one job only, that is to close with and destroy the enemies of the United States. 0.99

00:44:23.000 You know, the most worrying thing to me about what Mark Milley said was that it shows we have a four-star general who is inept and incapable of critical thought.

00:44:32.000 Right, so here's a guy who's supposed to be thinking and like analyzing the battlefield and instruct, you know.

00:44:37.000 But that should not surprise you in the sense that in a peacetime military, when I say peacetime, I mean, you know, a peacetime military with respect to great power conflict.

00:44:49.000 The best and the brightest of the officer corps does not rise to the level of general.

00:44:52.000 The best and the brightest of the officer corps, you know, serves their, you know, four years honorably and then, you know, has the ability to go out and do some More creative, interesting things in the private sector.

00:45:02.000 You know, the people who rise to the level of general in a peacetime military, you know, as we classically know from the Civil War, are not... Political.

00:45:09.000 They're political.

00:45:11.000 They do PowerPoint presentations for a living.

00:45:13.000 Essentially, they do PowerPoint presentations for a living.

00:45:15.000 So what happens if a war breaks out?

00:45:17.000 We have major, major, major problems.

00:45:21.000 I mean, look, historically, again, you go back to the Civil War, I mean, the Union had massive problems with terrible generals in the beginning of the Civil War.

00:45:29.000 It's huge.

00:45:31.000 And so, you know, now with this sort of a wokeness layered on top of it, look, there will be another major power conflict.

00:45:39.000 It will probably be sooner rather than later because of the weakness we now portray to the world, and we're gonna have a problem

00:45:47.000 because of the sort of the wokeness in the Pentagon and the attempt to make it a social experiment,

00:45:56.000 diversity engineering training program or whatever they're doing.

00:46:00.000 It's bad.

00:46:01.000 Yeah, so.

00:46:02.000 I mean, if China invades Taiwan tomorrow, and don't be surprised if it's not too, too far away, 0.99

00:46:09.000 let's hope they don't.

00:46:10.000 But if they do, I mean, you know.

00:46:13.000 Let's throw a little bit of Rome in there.

00:46:15.000 Was there a war conflict with Rome during their collapse?

00:46:18.000 There was, right?

00:46:18.000 Or was it barbarians?

00:46:19.000 Julius Caesar, and you might know even more about this, John, was leading his troops up north, and he basically conquered all of Gaul.

00:46:27.000 He was returning as the hero of Gaul, and they were going to try and get him on political charges and put him away.

00:46:32.000 That's right.

00:46:32.000 So what started happening in the Roman Republic is that So when you were in Rome as a leader, you were immune to kind of lawfare.

00:46:43.000 You were not allowed to, you know, do this thing where you just bring like lawsuits and lawsuits and lawsuits.

00:46:50.000 But once you're out of power, you know, then they could do that to you.

00:46:53.000 And they started to do that.

00:46:55.000 And Julius Caesar being seen as the threat that he was, and being outside of Roman territory, and at that point being a military leader, not a tribune or anything like that, he had the classic choice to make as to whether to cross the Rubicon with his army.

00:47:16.000 And he made that choice because he was facing political and probably physical extermination, or he was going to win.

00:47:24.000 He was going to win or he was going to lose.

00:47:25.000 That was the thing about threatening to impeach and use political things to go after your political opponents is that eventually one of them is going to snap.

00:47:32.000 And that's what Caesar did.

00:47:33.000 He crossed the Rubicon, which is basically the Was it a wall or something?

00:47:37.000 No, it's a river.

00:47:38.000 I think it's more of a stream than a river, but it's very famous.

00:47:41.000 It's like, um, it protects, it borders Rome and it's symbolically, you are not allowed to bring military troops beyond the Rubicon.

00:47:46.000 That's correct.

00:47:47.000 That violates Roman, but he did it. 0.87

00:47:49.000 He was like, you know what?

00:47:49.000 It's either, either I don't and they arrest me and they destroy me or I take control of the city.

00:47:55.000 That's right.

00:47:56.000 And look, at a certain point, when tyranny becomes extreme enough, it creates the conditions for certain things to happen.

00:48:07.000 What if we're in the calm before the storm?

00:48:09.000 A lot of people thought that 2020 was the time at which Trump was facing all these charges, so would he cross the Rubicon?

00:48:17.000 The left is trying to claim that he did with January 6th, but he clearly did not.

00:48:21.000 But what if 2024 is when, you know, because maybe Trump said, look, we're going to run again.

00:48:26.000 We'll run in 2024 and we'll win.

00:48:27.000 We're going to win back the house.

00:48:28.000 We're going to run again.

00:48:29.000 We'll win.

00:48:29.000 But what if, what happens if something happens and Trump doesn't win?

00:48:32.000 We have social media.

00:48:34.000 You can't take the Capitol.

00:48:36.000 That doesn't exist anymore.

00:48:37.000 Our government is decentralized now, so there's no place to march troops into.

00:48:41.000 It'd have to be some organized digital cyber... You'd have to shut down all communications.

00:48:47.000 Takeover.

00:48:48.000 Yeah, it'd be a crazy organized thing.

00:48:50.000 What do you think?

00:48:51.000 I cannot see one guy doing that right now.

00:48:53.000 Certainly 2024 is... I mean, we used to say that 2016 was going to be one of the most important elections ever, and then 2020 was going to be one of the most important elections ever.

00:49:01.000 2024 is going to be Extremely, extremely high stakes.

00:49:09.000 I happen to believe that, and I like Donald Trump.

00:49:12.000 I'm a big, big Trump fan.

00:49:14.000 I hope that he runs again.

00:49:16.000 I think he has unfinished business, and I think he can turn the country around.

00:49:20.000 I personally believe he is going to win by such a massive margin in 2024 that, you know, we're not going to have issues, and I pray that that's the case.

00:49:29.000 I agree.

00:49:30.000 At least for now.

00:49:30.000 We'll see.

00:49:31.000 It's very, very early on.

00:49:31.000 It is.

00:49:32.000 We're in one of the worst years for political shows.

00:49:35.000 So this is for everybody who can understand.

00:49:37.000 I tell people like, the year after the presidential election, it's just like your lowest traffic, lowest ad rates.

00:49:44.000 It's brutal.

00:49:45.000 Then you get the midterm, which everything improves.

00:49:46.000 Then you get the primary year for the presidential in 2023.

00:49:51.000 So then it's like everything picks back up and boy, our election year is great for political content, but we're in that lull.

00:49:56.000 So we have so much.

00:49:57.000 I think you're going to have a really good 2024.

00:50:00.000 I don't think so.

00:50:01.000 Well, for your show, for your viewers.

00:50:03.000 I'm not entirely convinced.

00:50:04.000 I think people need to understand that 2016 was insane.

00:50:08.000 How insane it was.

00:50:09.000 I was in San Jose and I watched this mob outside a Trump rally chase down some 16-year-old kid, attacking him.

00:50:16.000 I saw a guy who got punched in the mouth because someone said he was a Trump supporter but he was actually a Bernie supporter.

00:50:22.000 I watched them shove an elderly couple in their late 60s to the ground, grab their MAGA hats and set them on fire, cheering. 0.99

00:50:28.000 I watched a guy walking out going, yay Trump! 0.92

00:50:30.000 And a guy runs up with a bag and whacks him in the head with it.

00:50:32.000 I filmed this video, it gets a million views in a day.

00:50:35.000 That was, I think, 2015.

00:50:37.000 That's how insane things were.

00:50:39.000 Then we get 2020.

00:50:40.000 Look at what happened with January 6th.

00:50:42.000 At the very least, a riot at the Capitol.

00:50:45.000 Insane.

00:50:46.000 And I keep telling people, I see no reason for this to de-escalate.

00:50:50.000 Now you're getting the brunt of the federal government going after Trump supporters?

00:50:55.000 Do you think people are sitting there just being like, well it sucks but I'm gonna calm down?

00:50:58.000 Or do you think they're being like, stop and leave me alone!

00:51:02.000 Now I'll tell you, the funniest smear against me, the SPLC, posted this tweet of mine.

00:51:08.000 Where I said something like, I think we've passed the point of no return.

00:51:12.000 The bridge has been, the nation has been so divided we can never go back and civil war seems inevitable.

00:51:17.000 And I was quoting a story.

00:51:19.000 I was actually quote tweeting somebody.

00:51:21.000 And the story said that like far-right groups wear t-shirts calling for a second civil war.

00:51:26.000 So basically I'm like, the news reported these far-right groups are driving around demanding civil war.

00:51:30.000 And I'm like, feels like a civil war is gonna happen.

00:51:33.000 And they criticized me for it.

00:51:34.000 As if it was my idea.

00:51:36.000 Listen.

00:51:37.000 It's gotten so insane in this country.

00:51:38.000 It's bad.

00:51:39.000 And right now we're in this lull year.

00:51:41.000 So it feels like everything's maybe chilled a little bit.

00:51:44.000 But look what they're doing with the 1-6 commission. 0.88

00:51:46.000 Look what they're doing with setting up Capitol police offices. 0.96

00:51:49.000 When we get in the midterms and the Republicans are looking like they're going to win, the Democrats are going to start ripping their hair out and banging their faces on the wall, screaming at the top of their lungs.

00:51:58.000 2023, when Trump gets back up on stage and says, ladies and gentlemen, I am running for president one more time.

00:52:03.000 And everyone goes, and screams, cheering, and they're throwing drinks in the air, whatever.

00:52:08.000 The Democrats will start pulling their hair out again.

00:52:11.000 It is going to be worse than we saw in 2016.

00:52:13.000 It is going to be worse than we saw in 2020.

00:52:17.000 I'm not entirely, I'm saying these things to be pessimistic.

00:52:20.000 I'm saying there's going to be a conflict.

00:52:22.000 Understand why.

00:52:24.000 Maybe it will be like the scale of conflict.

00:52:26.000 We don't know, but come on.

00:52:27.000 I love this.

00:52:28.000 I've talked about the potential for civil war.

00:52:30.000 There's been a bunch of studies.

00:52:32.000 Some national security experts, there was a story, I think it was in the Atlantic, said that they estimated between 35% and like 95% chance of a civil war in the United States, and I thought that was insane.

00:52:40.000 It's like 1% to 99% chance of a civil war.

00:52:42.000 No, no, no.

00:52:43.000 It was because there was like 16 people interviewed, there was a wide range of what they thought, but the average was something like 65% to 70%.

00:52:52.000 So then I have people say to me, they're like, so Tim, remember last year when you were saying that we were headed towards a civil war?

00:52:59.000 Yeah, what happened with that?

00:52:59.000 And I'm like, a bunch of people rioted at the Capitol, and they go, oh.

00:53:04.000 I'm like, did you think that things calmed down since then?

00:53:08.000 So a few years ago, and I was like, man, if this stuff keeps happening, it's going to get worse.

00:53:11.000 Now we've got the 1-6 stuff going on.

00:53:13.000 They're going after all these people.

00:53:14.000 Do you think that when they go after that little old granny where the cop holds the door open for her and threatens her?

00:53:20.000 Or how about when the feds went to that Alaska woman's house and kicked her door in or whatever?

00:53:25.000 Wrong person.

00:53:26.000 Do you think regular people are sitting back like, this is fine?

00:53:29.000 Or do you think people are being antagonized to the point where their brains are going to explode?

00:53:33.000 You made me think of that meme with a dog sitting in the house on fire going, this is fun.

00:53:37.000 Yeah, I totally agree that the level of intensity is being ratcheted up, you know, to a very dangerous extent.

00:53:46.000 And I agree that it will continue to do so in the current course that we're on until 2024.

00:53:52.000 So I totally agree with you that we're going to see, you know, we're gonna see the same kind of and probably more conflict

00:54:02.000 during the election than we did in 2016 and 2020. I just believe and I hope and I pray that Trump

00:54:09.000 wins by such a margin that it kind of puts everything... A 49 state landslide. Hey, I really

00:54:17.000 think it could be big.

00:54:19.000 I think that, you know, like you said, like I think you just said, I mean, regular, I think the left terribly underestimates regular Americans.

00:54:27.000 And I think when they think that they have an advantage, they press it and they overreach very much.

00:54:31.000 But I've heard a lot, there's been a lot of historical comparisons, so obviously we're talking about Rome and crossing the Rubicon, but I mean, are there really that many similarities, or is it just like a few things that people like to reference, right?

00:54:41.000 You talked about lawfare, you talked about... Oh, oh, oh, look, I mean, I think it's...

00:54:47.000 I forget who it is.

00:54:48.000 One of my second or third favorite podcasters after you, Dan Carlin, has a podcast named Hardcore History, and it's really, you know, amazing.

00:54:56.000 And he's, you know, big series on Rome, big series on Genghis Khan, that he calls him, that I love, and Alexander the Great, who I'm a huge fan of.

00:55:03.000 But he's fond of saying that, you know, history doesn't necessarily repeat, but it rhymes.

00:55:08.000 And it rhymes because human nature is eternal.

00:55:12.000 And there are trends and forces that change.

00:55:15.000 There are individuals that rise to significance who have such a force of nature that they can alter things.

00:55:24.000 So, you know, you can't say, hey, we're exactly in a situation that the Roman Republic is in, and we're heading in the exact same direction and outcome.

00:55:34.000 But there are definite, definite similarities, for sure, that we should draw lessons from, you know, and try to avoid, you know.

00:55:43.000 A lot of people have likened it to Weimar Germany.

00:55:46.000 Yeah, I was thinking about the Reichstag.

00:55:48.000 But some people have likened it to the Spanish Civil War.

00:55:52.000 I look, I think I think the 1930s comparison to, you know, to the to the threat of the Third Reich is very apt in the following sense, which is, you know, and people are talking about this, some of them, but I don't think enough are.

00:56:05.000 But I think that I think that the Chinese Communist Party is an existentially dangerous threat to us and to freedom in the world right now.

00:56:13.000 I don't think we're paying enough attention to it.

00:56:15.000 I don't think we've been serious enough about it.

00:56:16.000 I think we need to completely decouple from China, and we need to isolate them and be building sort of an alliance of liberty that Steve Bannon, one of my other favorite podcasters, likes to say with nations like Japan and India and Australia, and we need to be preparing for things. 0.64

00:56:35.000 One of the things about the German, how it reminds me of Weimar Germany, is the burning of the Reichstag, which happened right after Hitler got into power, I think it was 1933.

00:56:42.000 The building, the Capitol Parliament building, burned down.

00:56:45.000 And he blamed the communists.

00:56:47.000 That was a false flag.

00:56:48.000 Apparently no one's been able to prove, and they've done the math, and they're like, there's no way one guy could light the whole building on fire.

00:56:54.000 But it's an American conspiracy theory.

00:56:55.000 So theories have arrived that he burned his own Reichstag down and then used that as a reason to lock down the entire country and start stripping them of their civil rights.

00:57:04.000 What was the special security bill that was passed because of that?

00:57:06.000 The Appeasement Act?

00:57:08.000 Is that what it's... No, no, the...

00:57:11.000 An act that was passed.

00:57:12.000 Injure me?

00:57:12.000 It's on the tip of my tongue.

00:57:15.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:57:16.000 It's on the tip of my tongue.

00:57:17.000 I don't know the answer.

00:57:19.000 The Enabling Act.

00:57:20.000 The Enabling Act.

00:57:20.000 That's what it was.

00:57:21.000 Ah, I was so close.

00:57:22.000 It starts with an A and I'm like, Enabling Act!

00:57:24.000 The Enabling Act.

00:57:25.000 What a nice benign name.

00:57:28.000 That was his excuse.

00:57:28.000 He's like, we need more power.

00:57:30.000 We need to start arresting people and we're watching similar things.

00:57:34.000 And it's now, like you said, it doesn't repeat, it rhymes.

00:57:37.000 A lot of people come out and they're like, oh, Nazi Germany.

00:57:39.000 I'm like, look, it's going to be different, but it's going to be similar in a lot of ways.

00:57:42.000 What are we seeing?

00:57:43.000 We have an ideological faction, demands purity.

00:57:47.000 They are racial identitarians.

00:57:48.000 They want law based on race and they're indoctrinating children. 1.00

00:57:51.000 A lot of similarities there.

00:57:53.000 That's a fact.

00:57:53.000 And then 1-6, you've got, I don't even like saying 1-6, it makes it sound like 9-11, but

00:57:57.000 like this thing, I don't know that it was a false flag.

00:58:01.000 I've heard that there were police officers involved with letting people into the building.

00:58:05.000 That's a fact.

00:58:06.000 That's a fact.

00:58:07.000 That is a fact.

00:58:09.000 I have one client named Alan Hostetter, you know, former police chief from Orange County, and he might be someone you want to have on the show someday to talk all about this because he's happy to talk all about it.

00:58:18.000 But, you know, he is an individual, you know, who seems to have had federal agents around him for a long time leading up to January 6th.

00:58:28.000 And so, you know, there's just serious, serious questions.

00:58:32.000 There's numerous videos where the police open the door to allow people in and They were urging people.

00:58:39.000 Sometimes they were letting people in sometimes they were urging cops are taking selfies with people

00:58:43.000 They're like hey in one video cop says don't agree with it But I agree with your right to protest as people walk past

00:58:50.000 them waving so it could have The police were in on it.

00:58:52.000 disorganization or it could have been intentionally like hey we can use this as an excuse to impose

00:58:58.000 I think I think y'all are missing the bigger picture the police were in on it each and

00:59:02.000 every one of those capital police officers were like no we're gonna let all of our Trump

00:59:07.000 MAGA friends in the building.

00:59:10.000 So each and every one of these cops, why aren't they being investigated?

00:59:13.000 Why aren't they being indicted?

00:59:14.000 So I will tell you, we're going to put a lot of Capitol Police officers on the witness stand when we try these cases.

00:59:20.000 Why did you open the door for these people?

00:59:22.000 That's a pretty good cross-examination question too.

00:59:25.000 Yeah.

00:59:25.000 It really is.

00:59:26.000 Let the jury hear that question.

00:59:27.000 What's it going to say?

00:59:28.000 Here's a video of you opening the door and letting them in.

00:59:30.000 I want to do a burger riot!

00:59:32.000 That's what I would have said.

00:59:33.000 I wanted to avert a riot.

00:59:34.000 So I let him in so they didn't smash me up.

00:59:37.000 Okay.

00:59:37.000 Is it trespassing?

00:59:38.000 Not if I let him in. 0.99

00:59:39.000 Haven't you seen the episode of Simpsons where I think it's Wiggum or someone tells Homer that if someone enters your property, you can kill him.

00:59:46.000 And he goes, Hey, Flanders.

00:59:49.000 I think it doesn't work if you invite him in.

00:59:50.000 He's like, aw.

00:59:52.000 That does create an analytical legal problem.

00:59:55.000 What if you invite them in under duress?

00:59:58.000 What does that mean?

00:59:59.000 Meaning that you fear for your life.

01:00:00.000 So you let them pass.

01:00:03.000 Like, someone, you're like three levels into the movie Inception.

01:00:07.000 Yeah, so I'm the cop and it's not that I'm like, hey, come over here and go in.

01:00:11.000 I'm like, these people are going to break me up.

01:00:13.000 If someone is at the front of your building and they have, like, weapons and they're threatening you and so you're scared and you open your door, then I understand.

01:00:20.000 In these videos, quite literally, it's a bunch of old people doting about, waving little American flags, and the police just open the door up, stand aside, and say, don't agree with it, but agree with your right to protest as people walk in. 0.96

01:00:33.000 There's another video where the cop literally just opens the door, and one cop poses for a selfie with people!

01:00:38.000 Like, dude, you're not gonna tell me that's duress.

01:00:39.000 Now, I think those cops got in trouble, right?

01:00:41.000 The selfie cops?

01:00:42.000 I don't know the answer to that question.

01:00:45.000 I do know there's another video that just came out that appears to show folks sort of frantically changing into, you know, different attire, sort of better trees.

01:00:56.000 Yeah, I've seen that.

01:00:57.000 I've seen that.

01:00:57.000 There's a video where one of the first breaches in the building, they were all in black clad, you know, blackout gear to obscure who they were and their identities.

01:01:04.000 And that's not a typical thing of Trump supporters.

01:01:06.000 That certainly is not.

01:01:08.000 But there were a bunch of Trump supporters who said they were going to dress like Antifa.

01:01:12.000 The key thing is, and again, I have to discipline myself to be careful about talking about the merits of these cases, but the important thing is, where's the video?

01:01:21.000 Where's the 14,000 or 15,000 hours of video?

01:01:25.000 Now, to be fair, the Department of Justice and the prosecutors say, and I believe that they are in the process of setting up a massive database in the cloud that will have all that video that will allow Defense Counsel to search through it.

01:01:41.000 That is still gonna take a long time to get set up and it's gonna take a massive amount of time to review all of that because we need to review all of it to understand, you know, what happened that day.

01:01:55.000 I also believe we should be seeing some video from before and after that day.

01:02:00.000 I mean, you know, why is it just relevant?

01:02:03.000 You know, what the video shows for January 6th, January 5th, and January 7th.

01:02:08.000 I think it's important to point out there were violent people.

01:02:10.000 Lots of them. 0.95

01:02:11.000 There's a lot of video that's ridiculous. 0.56

01:02:13.000 There are people from the barricades out storming up and ramming police. 0.60

01:02:17.000 We had Richie McGinnis, I think.

01:02:19.000 This guy's everywhere.

01:02:20.000 He really is.

01:02:20.000 He was actually squeezed in between rioters shoving against these cops.

01:02:25.000 And one cop's like screaming as he's being crushed.

01:02:27.000 So all that stuff definitely happened.

01:02:29.000 Now the problem is the Democrats on the left show that.

01:02:33.000 And they say, look, look, look, look, look.

01:02:36.000 And I think it is partially a problem that many on the right are just like, showing the cops opening doors.

01:02:40.000 Let's talk about all of it.

01:02:41.000 There were people there engaging in very bad activities, right?

01:02:45.000 But there are a lot of people who are being charged when they were essentially welcomed into the building, confused and not understanding what was going on.

01:02:51.000 That is just accurate, what you just said.

01:02:54.000 And you know, very interestingly, and I'm not a fan of FBI Director Christopher Wray.

01:02:59.000 I mean, when Christopher Wray was asked questions by, I forget which Republican congressman it was, and asked, hey, constituents in my district are wondering about these people who were, you know, ushered into the building and that they're being charged.

01:03:12.000 You know, how many people are there like that?

01:03:14.000 And, you know, in classic Christopher Wray fashion, you know, he dodged and ducked and prevaricated and simply would not, just simply would not go there and would not even remotely answer the question.

01:03:25.000 Because it's political.

01:03:27.000 It's for power.

01:03:28.000 Never let a good crisis go to waste.

01:03:30.000 That is one of the tried and true tactics of all time with respect to taking over.

01:03:35.000 No, I don't think the riot is on par with the burning of the Reichstag or whatever.

01:03:39.000 Nothing really got destroyed, did it?

01:03:42.000 They burned down the building, didn't they?

01:03:43.000 No, no, on January 6th.

01:03:45.000 There were some actual historical artifacts that took some damage when Windows got broken in.

01:03:50.000 There was like an old bookshelf or something.

01:03:52.000 They burned the entire Reichstag.

01:03:53.000 I don't think anyone died during that.

01:03:56.000 Yeah, so it doesn't really matter, though, because there was something symbolically destroyed.

01:03:59.000 It was the normal process by which they certified the electoral votes.

01:04:04.000 So that process is shocking to people.

01:04:06.000 It wasn't a physical destruction.

01:04:07.000 It was more of a metaphysical, you know, abstract.

01:04:10.000 Oh, they interrupted the process, yeah.

01:04:11.000 Yeah, and so it feels like an attack on the structures of the country.

01:04:15.000 It's, you know, abstract.

01:04:19.000 There's actually an interesting legal issue on that front, which we've filed, you know, some motions on in our cases, which is that it is actually unclear under the existing case law as to whether or not, you know, that process that day, the certification of the electoral votes actually qualifies as legally and technically an official proceeding as that is interpreted under the case law.

01:04:41.000 Because those have to have a quasi-judicial function to them that it can be argued did not exist that day.

01:04:49.000 Now that is unsettled.

01:04:50.000 The courts will decide that.

01:04:54.000 But I really believe, and I've said many times, I think the institutions that really fell down in all of this, so to speak, are the state legislatures, especially including GOP-controlled state legislatures.

01:05:08.000 Because the Constitution is designed to avoid something like this, and it's very clear.

01:05:14.000 If there are any questions, the state legislatures can and should, not on January 6th, we're talking about back in December when the Electoral College meets in the states, they are allowed to, very clearly under the Constitution, simply not send a slate of electors because they feel there are questions.

01:05:36.000 If that occurs, and if no candidate gets 270 electoral votes, it goes to the House under the 12th Amendment, where each state delegation gets one vote, and there is a process.

01:05:48.000 The Republicans don't like Trump.

01:05:50.000 The establishment Republicans certainly don't like him.

01:05:53.000 Right, right, right.

01:05:53.000 And there's been the insurgent Republicans, the populist Republicans, people who have joined the Republican Party for the first time.

01:05:59.000 When I was covering one Trump rally in Florida back in 20, I think it was 2016, Actually, maybe it was 2015, I'm not sure.

01:06:06.000 But there was a woman who said, I met a lot of people like this.

01:06:08.000 They had never voted before.

01:06:10.000 They were totally independent.

01:06:11.000 They considered themselves actually to be kind of liberal, but didn't really pay attention to politics.

01:06:15.000 Trump came along and he was saying the things they wanted to hear, and so for the first time they were voting.

01:06:19.000 A lot of people like that joined the Republican Party.

01:06:22.000 This started to change things, and the establishment Republicans who had a bunch of A bunch of people who would vote R no matter what for whatever reason, just because they were tribalist, were upset by it.

01:06:31.000 Trump is bombastic, he's... He rocks the boat.

01:06:34.000 Yeah, he rocks the boat, he's demanding, he commandeered the shit, and they were more than happy to get rid of him. 0.99

01:06:39.000 Well, there's no question about that, and I do think those new folks, those populist folks, are ascendant in the Republican Party, and I'm one of them, and I hope that they are. 0.99

01:06:48.000 But, you know, I know you're from Chicago, I'm from Western Pennsylvania, and you recall there was a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

01:06:55.000 That massive, massive one?

01:06:57.000 Massive, okay?

01:06:58.000 So for 55, whatever the number was, for 55,000 people to show up yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs for Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

01:07:08.000 Okay, Western Pennsylvania is historically a very, you know, old-school kind of FDR labor Democrat type of type of area, you know, conservative, socially conservative, but very Democrat.

01:07:19.000 For that many people to show up that ferociously, frenetically enthusiastic for Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania speaks volumes.

01:07:26.000 And I think that rally in 2024 might be, you know, two or three times that size.

01:07:30.000 Have you heard about those books, about Barron Trump and the last president?

01:07:34.000 You ever hear about those?

01:07:35.000 I have not.

01:07:35.000 I see that he's really, Barron's very tall.

01:07:37.000 I've seen, that's one thing I've seen.

01:07:39.000 Yeah, was he 6'7"?

01:07:39.000 Yeah.

01:07:39.000 I think he's 6'7".

01:07:40.000 That's the most recent thing I've seen about him.

01:07:41.000 Is that, he's 6'7"?

01:07:42.000 He is 6'7".

01:07:42.000 What?!

01:07:43.000 Trump Tower.

01:07:44.000 Yeah.

01:07:44.000 Wow, dude.

01:07:44.000 What if, like, we're just totally misunderstanding what's going on, and what's actually gonna happen is in 20 years, Barron Trump, who's this, like, 6'10", you know, guy, runs for president.

01:07:54.000 He's like, when my dad was president.

01:07:56.000 He's got this, like, deep voice, and he wins, and then he rules the 9th District.

01:07:59.000 No, no, there's a book from the 1800s about Barron Trump.

01:08:02.000 And the final book in the series is called The Last President.

01:08:06.000 And it talks about how... Oh, that's the character's name is Barron Trump?

01:08:09.000 Yes.

01:08:09.000 Yep, yep.

01:08:10.000 And The Last President is a book about where I think it's, you know, Trump wins the presidency on November 3rd, 1893 or something.

01:08:18.000 And then the socialists and anarchists from the Lower East Side of Manhattan storm up to his fortress on Fifth Avenue.

01:08:24.000 It's like the weirdest thing.

01:08:26.000 I haven't read it.

01:08:27.000 That's what we've heard.

01:08:28.000 And a lot of people are like, how did something like that happen? 0.77

01:08:32.000 So I'll call it a gag conspiracy theory, but there are people who genuinely believe like time travelers went back in time or something like that, something ridiculous.

01:08:39.000 I was talking to Will Chamberlain, it was really funny, because I was like, there's a conspiracy theory that people travel, time travel, you know, go back in time to stop Donald Trump.

01:08:47.000 And he goes, that's what you do with time travel?

01:08:51.000 Like, of all the things you could stop, the killing fields?

01:08:55.000 I mean, World War II?

01:08:57.000 And then I was like, wait, wait, wait, actually, yes, if the Democrats right now had time travel, that's what they would go and do!

01:09:06.000 That'd be their top choice, for sure.

01:09:07.000 But look, as a Gen Xer, if it does happen, it's just gotta be the Quantum Leap-style time travel, if you remember that show.

01:09:14.000 Oh, of course, yeah, it comes on every day after Stargate.

01:09:16.000 No, it's gotta be Quantum Leap.

01:09:17.000 Those guys are great.

01:09:18.000 But it's at 7pm so I don't get to watch it.

01:09:19.000 I only get to see the intro.

01:09:21.000 Every day I get to hear Sam go, oh boy.

01:09:25.000 Those are the days.

01:09:27.000 Those are the days.

01:09:28.000 Simpler times.

01:09:30.000 Ziggy says you can't leap until you get re-elected president.

01:09:34.000 Why haven't I left yet?

01:09:35.000 Well, there's a new movie.

01:09:36.000 Have you seen the new Chris Pratt movie Tomorrow War?

01:09:40.000 Yeah, I didn't like it all that much.

01:09:41.000 Oh, you weren't a big fan?

01:09:42.000 I think I just love Chris Pratt so much that... Easy read.

01:09:44.000 What I didn't like about it was I felt like it was poorly directed.

01:09:49.000 But I really liked the concept and I really liked the attempt at doing a different kind of story structure.

01:09:55.000 But there's just like...

01:09:57.000 Chris Pratt deserves all the support.

01:09:59.000 He's a good dude.

01:09:59.000 Yeah, the humor and the action if it I just have to confess if it has Ryan Reynolds or Chris Pratt in it

01:10:04.000 I'm pretty much Chris Chris Pratt deserves all the support.

01:10:07.000 He's a he's a good dude, you know Yeah, he seems to be for sure stands up for what he

01:10:11.000 believes in to a certain extent, you know He wore the Gadsden shirt and yeah

01:10:15.000 Supporting people who are pushing back against wokeness and are successful in Hollywood, that's a really important thing.

01:10:20.000 Yeah, it's a rare thing.

01:10:22.000 Oh, he's great in Magnificent Seven, too.

01:10:25.000 Are you a Magnificent Seven fan?

01:10:26.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:10:27.000 That movie was fantastic.

01:10:27.000 He's just great in Magnificent Seven.

01:10:29.000 Yeah, he does a good job, man.

01:10:30.000 We're gonna go see Black Widow on Saturday.

01:10:31.000 If there could be time travel, that's what I would do, is I would go back and be part of the Magnificent Seven crew.

01:10:35.000 With this new cast.

01:10:36.000 They all die.

01:10:36.000 Oh, well.

01:10:37.000 No.

01:10:41.000 Yeah!

01:10:42.000 Not if you went back in time. 0.59

01:10:43.000 No, wait, wait, a bunch of them die.

01:10:44.000 Well, several, no, not all of them die.

01:10:46.000 Just a bunch of them.

01:10:47.000 Well, there's seven, so I think like, you know, four of them die.

01:10:51.000 The Mexican guy survives.

01:10:53.000 Okay, no, Ethan Hawke and his... Yeah, and his, the Asian guy. 1.00

01:10:59.000 Or Chris Pratt.

01:10:59.000 And the bear guy dies.

01:11:04.000 But I think... The Native American guy dies?

01:11:07.000 No, I think the three that survive are the Mexican guy, who was a vendor being called a Texican, but he was a Mexican guy, and then Denzel survives, and the Native American, Red Harvest survives.

01:11:21.000 Yeah, that's a cool movie.

01:11:22.000 Red Harvest is amazing, with the moving shots, with the bow.

01:11:27.000 And then he also has the last of all he can seen with the tomahawk and the knife.

01:11:31.000 Yeah, good movie.

01:11:33.000 It's a very good movie.

01:11:35.000 Yeah, see, it's not all bad.

01:11:35.000 We're chilling, you know, as much as the world may be on fire.

01:11:38.000 We got good movies, at least.

01:11:39.000 Yeah.

01:11:40.000 Like, um, I'll see a movie poster.

01:11:42.000 I'll be like, oh, that guy's in this movie.

01:11:43.000 I'm excited.

01:11:44.000 And it's like, I don't care what the movie is.

01:11:46.000 That guy is in it.

01:11:46.000 I want to watch that guy act.

01:11:48.000 Well, that's how it's always been.

01:11:50.000 The power of the cult, man, the power of culture, like one human, like you were saying, can rise up and alter everything.

01:11:56.000 I tell you, he's one of those, I mean, as long as we're on it.

01:11:57.000 I mean, I tell you that one of those guys that I see is one of those guys is, um, are you a fan of the HBO series Deadwood?

01:12:03.000 No, I've not seen it.

01:12:04.000 Oh, Ian McShane, um, you know, he plays, he plays kind of the main sort of bad guy, but with some good traits in Deadwood.

01:12:11.000 Um, but I think, you know, he, he can, he can tend to be one of those, uh, one of those folks.

01:12:16.000 Um, but I'll stop.

01:12:17.000 You're the movie.

01:12:18.000 Um, yeah, he's great.

01:12:19.000 Yeah.

01:12:19.000 He's a good bat.

01:12:20.000 He's a good bad guy.

01:12:21.000 Yeah, he's very good.

01:12:22.000 I wasn't a huge fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.

01:12:27.000 I loved the first one.

01:12:28.000 I think the first Pirates of the Caribbean was just an incredibly good movie.

01:12:32.000 I think the sequels were not that good, and I think he was in one of those sequels, so that's the one caveat I'd give.

01:12:37.000 I haven't seen any of those.

01:12:39.000 You haven't seen Pirates of the Caribbean?

01:12:40.000 No, I knew Doubt on movies.

01:12:41.000 I went to theater school and they were all really anti-cinema.

01:12:44.000 It was very weird.

01:12:45.000 Yeah.

01:12:45.000 So I was like, I kind of stopped watching it.

01:12:47.000 It's because theater is a dead medium.

01:12:50.000 Yeah, they were like, I read plays.

01:12:51.000 I don't watch TV.

01:12:53.000 The other one that I, my favorite TV show ever is Black Sails on Starz.

01:12:59.000 You know, that's kind of like Game of Thrones combined with Pirates of the Caribbean.

01:13:01.000 Oh, that's a terrific, terrific show.

01:13:04.000 Yeah.

01:13:05.000 When are they going to start making a series about January 6th?

01:13:10.000 I'm half joking, but... I believe there are multiple ones underway.

01:13:14.000 Yeah, right?

01:13:15.000 Yes.

01:13:15.000 There are multiple, both series and documentaries that are underway.

01:13:20.000 Yeah, they just came out with one.

01:13:22.000 I'm not sure what news organization just published it.

01:13:24.000 Well, I think that there are... I mean, I know that there are a couple that HBO is working on.

01:13:31.000 Showtime series on January 6th.

01:13:34.000 Okay.

01:13:34.000 So it must not be that big of a deal then.

01:13:36.000 Cause like, are there any movies about COVID yet?

01:13:39.000 Or is it too, it's one of those too soon.

01:13:40.000 I think there's, I think, I think there's a, there's a pandemic, I think it's called, uh, which is kind of a documentary that I think.

01:13:48.000 They like, they like doing these, like, uh, it's Hollywood.

01:13:52.000 So they're leftist and they like doing movies that can push politics through culture.

01:13:56.000 Like when they did, um, what was that Fox movie where they went after Roger Ailes or whatever.

01:14:02.000 Oh, yeah.

01:14:04.000 Oh, Bombshell. 0.76

01:14:05.000 Yes.

01:14:05.000 Well, there's a couple.

01:14:06.000 Yes.

01:14:06.000 I was thinking of the HBO one where Russell Crowe plays Roger Ailes in the HBO one, I think.

01:14:14.000 But I like Bombshell.

01:14:16.000 I thought Bombshell was very entertaining.

01:14:19.000 The story about what Roger Ailes was doing.

01:14:21.000 Sure, he sounds like a bad dude, right?

01:14:23.000 But are they going to pick up a movie about, like, I don't know, Antifa burning down buildings?

01:14:28.000 Yeah, I mean, they'll wait till it's politically expedient.

01:14:31.000 Same thing with virus movies.

01:14:33.000 When the left needs to regain control from Antifa, then they'll make, you know, Red Dawn U.S.

01:14:40.000 When their own starts to get eaten, which always happens with that kind of political philosophy.

01:14:44.000 But, you know, look, with respect to buildings being burned down, and you probably know more about this than I do, but I mean, with respect to, like, Kenosha, for example, I mean, you know, there were houses, there were multi-level houses Yeah.

01:14:56.000 And what did the cops do?

01:14:57.000 there were spray painting on the houses, you know, please don't burn this house down because there's

01:15:00.000 a disabled person like on the top floor. Yeah. I mean, this isn't this isn't Kenosha like on,

01:15:05.000 you know, Lake Michigan, I suppose. And what did the cops do? The cops didn't do anything about it.

01:15:08.000 The local and state government of Wisconsin completely and totally abdicated its most

01:15:18.000 basic fundamental, you know, obligations to actually provide law and order.

01:15:22.000 You know, it's obviously happened in other cities as well with these CHOP zones and, you know, CHAZ zones or whatever they're called.

01:15:27.000 No-go zones.

01:15:28.000 You know, and that's totally unconstitutional.

01:15:30.000 I mean, that violates the guarantee of a Republican with a little R government. 0.99

01:15:36.000 Yeah, well, the police took away your right to defend yourself.

01:15:39.000 And now that you can't, the extremists and the criminals and the rule breakers and the law breakers can do what they want.

01:15:45.000 Then when their political allies take the DA, the police don't even go after the crimes that are more extreme.

01:15:51.000 It almost sounds like a system we're playing.

01:15:57.000 Yeah, you were saying earlier the tracks we're on is dangerous.

01:16:01.000 I think you're right, because we can't talk about certain things on YouTube.

01:16:05.000 Not that YouTube's the only place to have content, like we can talk about it on TimCast.com or whatever, but...

01:16:10.000 There's things we can't talk about regarding the chaos that is disturbing, that we can't debate, dissect, analyze.

01:16:20.000 It's very unsettling as Americans to have that sensation.

01:16:25.000 I mean, you know, I'm much older than anybody in the room, I think.

01:16:28.000 But I mean, you know, even, look, growing up and even I'm sure when you were growing up, I mean, the sensation in America was that you could like, you know, really, you know, argue it out and hash it out and like stay up all night in college and like debate anything and talk about anything as long as, you know, as long as you're civil to the other person.

01:16:45.000 Do you remember Skokie, Illinois in the ACLU?

01:16:49.000 I know that there is something very relevant with respect to Skokie and the ACLU, but I can't put my mind on it right now.

01:16:55.000 It was a bunch of neo-Nazis who were marching through a Jewish neighborhood and the ACLU defended them.

01:16:58.000 Defended them.

01:16:59.000 And that's exactly, so that's a perfect example, and thank you for reminding me, of why I started the NCLU.

01:17:05.000 Because the only way to preserve the Constitution is to fight for the rights of those who you despise the most when it comes to their I did not see that.

01:17:14.000 And right now it happens to be, it is conservatives that are needing protection right now, but

01:17:21.000 tomorrow it's going to be liberals.

01:17:23.000 You see what China just did with banning LGBT groups?

01:17:26.000 I did not see that.

01:17:27.000 WeChat, one of their largest social platforms, banned a bunch of LGBT accounts.

01:17:31.000 So you can see what power does.

01:17:34.000 In the United States, just so happens, the left communist faction and the Marxists have

01:17:39.000 a lot of institutional authority.

01:17:41.000 And people need to understand this, that there is a massive infiltration of Marxism in this

01:17:46.000 government.

01:17:47.000 What they need to understand about critical theory and Marxism is it's the idea of the

01:17:49.000 oppressed and the oppressor.

01:17:50.000 Right.

01:17:51.000 That is... That the system is inherently, you know, bad and evil and must be torn down.

01:17:56.000 Right.

01:17:56.000 So it's not about, like, Stalin sneaking into the government.

01:17:59.000 It's about, quite literally, there are people in the government, the military is doing it, the... What did we just have?

01:18:05.000 Was it Lockheed?

01:18:06.000 Where they were like, you know, white people gotta recognize them.

01:18:08.000 Raytheon.

01:18:09.000 Raytheon.

01:18:09.000 Yeah, so our military-industrial complex, our government, our police forces, our army, are all embracing Marxist theory.

01:18:17.000 They might not know that, but it literally is Marxist theory.

01:18:19.000 What's concerning is if it's oppressor and oppressed, and I'm the oppressed, then I overturn the oppressor, then what does that leave?

01:18:25.000 It leaves me to become the oppressor.

01:18:28.000 It's all meaningless.

01:18:30.000 It's just power structures.

01:18:32.000 It's an ideology that is basically like, How can I describe it?

01:18:36.000 It's like when you look at an atomic structure and you find the one frail atom that when you flick, the whole thing crumbles.

01:18:45.000 Sounds like fluorine.

01:18:46.000 It's not fluorine.

01:18:48.000 It's pretty electrostatic or electro-elastic.

01:18:50.000 I mean, this was known as... Hydrofluoric acid.

01:18:53.000 I mean, what you're talking about is the same as what used to be called critical legal theory, which became actually pretty ascendant at Harvard Law School a couple decades ago.

01:19:01.000 But it's the same exact idea.

01:19:04.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:19:05.000 They want to find a way to demonize a villain, create an other.

01:19:09.000 It's very demagogic, I suppose.

01:19:12.000 And it works.

01:19:13.000 So what does it do?

01:19:13.000 But it's really, really quite smart because what they'll do is they'll say, you're a racist.

01:19:18.000 And quite literally you have like James Lindsay being like, discriminating him on the basis of race is wrong.

01:19:22.000 And they go, racist!

01:19:24.000 It's like, okay, that's what it is.

01:19:27.000 That's what they believe.

01:19:27.000 If this theory is oppressor and oppressed and the oppressor, the powerful are oppressive by nature.

01:19:33.000 Is that part of this theory?

01:19:35.000 No, no, no, no.

01:19:35.000 So initially with Marx, you have like the class, right?

01:19:39.000 The bourgeoisie, the proletariat, the working class, the elites, the political class, et cetera.

01:19:44.000 Then you get critical race theory where they're like white people.

01:19:48.000 Critical race theory.

01:19:49.000 So you replace the bourgeoisie with white people, basically. 0.75

01:19:51.000 Right.

01:19:52.000 For the race theory, I assume. 0.94

01:19:52.000 So now with critical race theory, you have oppressed and oppressors, and the white people are the oppressors, and the people of color are the oppressed. 0.94

01:19:59.000 And is the theory that if you were to remove white people from the equation, that there would no longer be an oppressor? 0.74

01:20:05.000 That white people need to recognize their privilege and give up their power.

01:20:09.000 This is very disturbing.

01:20:10.000 It's meaningless because you can't take your skin color off. 1.00

01:20:13.000 So the idea ultimately is that you will always be an oppressor, no matter what.

01:20:17.000 All of which, of course, is precisely why we have certain laws that just explicitly outlaw this kind of thing.

01:20:25.000 And it's fascinating to watch some of these state and local governments and corporations attempt to implement laws that are so flatly Uh, illegal and contrary to, like, the civil rights laws, you know, that were passed in the 1960s, but, you know, and they think that they can just get away with it, and they will, unless they're challenged.

01:20:44.000 Critical race theorists hated civil rights.

01:20:46.000 Of course.

01:20:47.000 One of the core tenets of critical race theory is critique of liberalism.

01:20:50.000 They felt that the liberal... Liberalism with a little l. Right.

01:20:54.000 Yeah.

01:20:55.000 They thought that the Democrats and desegregation and civil rights was actually depowering their community.

01:21:00.000 They hated it.

01:21:00.000 They were very critical of the Democrats.

01:21:02.000 First of all, you had the Democrats that were pro-segregation, and then also the Democrats started to say, okay, well maybe we'll get behind these bills for a variety of reasons.

01:21:09.000 And there was a letter circulated during the Ferguson riots among activists that argued segregation was a plot by white Democrats to force black people to exist underneath the economics of the white system.

01:21:22.000 Is desegregation?

01:21:23.000 Yeah, right.

01:21:24.000 So what these activists were saying when they were writing this letter, before the end of segregation, when everything was separated, they said black people had their own wealth, their own neighborhoods, their own communities, their own churches, they had their own Wall Street.

01:21:38.000 Along comes the Democrats and say, hey, we should end segregation.

01:21:41.000 It's wrong.

01:21:43.000 And as soon as that happened, you have these two systems where, yes, you have a lot of very wealthy white people, but the black community was building up their wealth. 0.96

01:21:49.000 Now they're forced to exist at a lower economic standard to the white people. 0.81

01:21:53.000 What they were basically arguing was, when you had segregation, a black person would run their own restaurant.

01:21:59.000 With the end of segregation, the black person would go work for the white man's restaurant. 0.96

01:22:02.000 Now, I think that's a bit silly. 0.95

01:22:04.000 You could still have your own restaurant.

01:22:05.000 You can still have your own communities.

01:22:07.000 And I think it's an overtly racist ideology, and the end of segregation was a very, very good thing.

01:22:10.000 But these activists genuinely believe that we need... that they believe segregation was... it's something they want.

01:22:17.000 I'll put it that way.

01:22:17.000 Well, and they hate Martin Luther King.

01:22:21.000 But they know that he's popular among liberals, and the liberals are the ones they can exploit.

01:22:25.000 So they say things like, yay Dr. King, and I always say this to my woke friends, Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. King, he said, I have a dream that one day my four little children will be judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

01:22:40.000 Exactly.

01:22:41.000 How are you fulfilling Dr. King's dream?

01:22:44.000 And they say, you don't even know what he was about.

01:22:48.000 I go, okay, I guess.

01:22:49.000 I don't know.

01:22:50.000 He said those things.

01:22:51.000 So do you think that allowing schools to implement race-based discrimination is helping Dr. King's

01:22:57.000 dream or hurting it?

01:23:00.000 The path is long, let's find out.

01:23:01.000 You're getting a lot of leftists who have no problem criticizing him because it's becoming so prominent and prevalent that they're now much more free to do so.

01:23:09.000 We talked about this book that's being taught in school.

01:23:12.000 It's called Not My Idea.

01:23:13.000 It's a children's book where a little white girl is exposed to the truth by her teachers about race and she's angry with her mom who lied to her and she screams, I'm tired of you lying to me, mom!

01:23:24.000 Tell me the truth!

01:23:25.000 I see race!

01:23:27.000 And the mom says, oh no! 0.96

01:23:29.000 Then there's a whiteness contract with a white hand reaching out and a devil's tail. 1.00

01:23:34.000 Yeah, white people are the devil, they say. 1.00

01:23:35.000 You gotta see this portion. 1.00

01:23:36.000 They're teaching this to children in dozens of schools, but in many of these schools, once they get to that portion where it shows the white person as the devil, they stop.

01:23:45.000 They don't show it, and they say, you can read the rest of the book on your own.

01:23:48.000 You know why?

01:23:50.000 It's the insidious nature. 0.99

01:23:52.000 If they come out right now and tell children white people are the devil, their parents will flip out. 0.97

01:23:57.000 But if they give them the beginning of the book, see? 0.98

01:24:00.000 Police brutality is wrong.

01:24:01.000 They were lying to you.

01:24:02.000 These liberals might be like, huh, okay.

01:24:05.000 They have to do it slowly, slowly.

01:24:06.000 It's insidious.

01:24:07.000 These liberals are easy to exploit because they look at something and they say, that's unfair.

01:24:12.000 They've got to do it slowly. 1.00

01:24:13.000 Once enough liberals support this book, then they'll turn the last page and say, white people are the devil. 0.99

01:24:18.000 And then these people go, oh yeah. 0.97

01:24:22.000 Well, I think these parents and these moms are starting to stand up in these school board meetings, which I think is a very good thing.

01:24:27.000 I think when I was driving down here, I went through Loudoun County, which is, of course, where they wanted to shut down debate and they dragged out, the sheriff's deputies dragged out the parents who wanted to actually finish the period of debate that was called for, right?

01:24:45.000 But, you know, look, the way that these things are going to turn around is that people, you know, people who love this country and, you know, moms at a certain point will protect their kids.

01:24:54.000 But these folks are going to start running for the school board and they're going to start running for local offices.

01:24:58.000 And, you know, I mean, good people have to, good people have to get in politics and run for office because that's, I mean, look, that's where the real power is.

01:25:04.000 That's where the real change comes from is where you can actually take your pen and you can sign, you know, a piece of legislation.

01:25:09.000 And, you know, I think that's starting to happen.

01:25:11.000 It certainly feels like it's starting to happen.

01:25:13.000 I'm starting to think that this 100-year experiment of public school systems is showing its cracks, its flaws, and the dangers of putting your kids in a foreign environment and just letting things happen to them. 0.89

01:25:25.000 Strangers can tell your kids whatever and you'll know.

01:25:27.000 I had so many bad teachers.

01:25:29.000 Just as awful. 0.88

01:25:30.000 Terrible, terrible, old, angry. 1.00

01:25:34.000 Evil, worthless, useless. 1.00

01:25:36.000 I'm going to say the worst stuff. 0.99

01:25:37.000 No, they're probably fine people, but just not not able to handle young, a group of 30 kids at a time.

01:25:43.000 It was terrible.

01:25:44.000 Yeah.

01:25:45.000 I mean, it's just it's just I mean, there are states like, you know, I suppose New York and California come to mind where I mean, the public education, you know, the public school system seems to be it seems to be disastrous.

01:25:54.000 And it's hard to know what to do.

01:25:56.000 I mean, I think the solution is probably multifaceted.

01:25:58.000 I mean, it involves some degree of school choice.

01:26:00.000 It involves some degree of You know, getting the funds actually where they need to be to make sure that you can reduce class sizes and, you know, get good teachers in there.

01:26:08.000 But yeah, I mean, we cannot have a system in this country where, you know, and I'm very fortunate that my kids, you know, go to an amazing private school, but you cannot have a system where, you know, a certain number of elite kids, you know, have teachers who are kindergarten teachers with PhDs and they have an amazing experience and then you have You know, the masses of people whose kids are not only in physical danger, but they're being indoctrinated like this.

01:26:34.000 Voucher program?

01:26:36.000 Look, I'm a huge believer in, you know, choice and competition.

01:26:41.000 And so, you know, school choice and voucher programs and competition, you know, generally speaking, seem to me to be very good ideas.

01:26:48.000 Very good ideas.

01:26:50.000 I think, you know, the health care system also needs, you know, more competition.

01:26:53.000 Um, and whatnot.

01:26:54.000 I think the trick becomes exactly how to implement these things.

01:26:57.000 Yeah.

01:26:58.000 You know, so that it's actually effective.

01:27:00.000 But what we have right now in these big blue states and these cities is not... it's just not tenable.

01:27:07.000 So something else has to be done. 0.68

01:27:08.000 Trash.

01:27:09.000 Well, it's just, I mean... The cities themselves, man. 0.99

01:27:11.000 I'm just so... I am anti-city right now.

01:27:13.000 It's not a good time to be in a big city.

01:27:15.000 We were outside in the front today with Andy.

01:27:18.000 Andy is a guy who's going to be running all the rec area stuff.

01:27:21.000 He's going to be running the grind bar and we're going to be setting up events and stuff.

01:27:24.000 We were standing in the front and we were trying to plan out, like,

01:27:26.000 so where do we build the mega ramp?

01:27:28.000 Where do we put the giant launch for the skate park?

01:27:31.000 And it's not about, look, I understand not everybody can go and buy materials for a skate park,

01:27:35.000 but you have space.

01:27:38.000 You can walk outside with your friends and just look at the grass and say, what can we do here?

01:27:42.000 What activities should we have?

01:27:43.000 In these cities, it's brutal, man.

01:27:45.000 You live in a cubicle.

01:27:47.000 Your kids are in a crammed school environment.

01:27:48.000 The teacher doesn't even know their name.

01:27:49.000 The teacher's like, who is this?

01:27:52.000 You're in my class.

01:27:53.000 Ms.

01:27:53.000 Wilson, I've been in your class all year.

01:27:55.000 Huh.

01:27:55.000 I can't even tell.

01:27:56.000 I got too many kids.

01:27:57.000 I don't want to live in that.

01:27:58.000 It's awful.

01:27:59.000 It's a different type of versatility.

01:28:01.000 Look, I think that you're going to have people who want to live a certain way and believe in certain things are going to start self-selecting out of the cities and to be in places that seem safer and in which they're not attacked for having a MAGA hat on.

01:28:19.000 And, you know, I think that, you know, and obviously with with COVID and the way folks have gotten more used to working remotely, I think it's going to accelerate that trend.

01:28:27.000 And that and that and that could lead to further, you know, that could lead to further division in the country because, you know, I think we're going to have people sort of segregating themselves away from each other because there's just too much volatility right now.

01:28:39.000 Yeah, you know, we're going to go tomorrow, see a movie, hang out, have some candy and popcorn.

01:28:45.000 Then we're going to just relax and enjoy a Saturday.

01:28:48.000 We've been filming it.

01:28:48.000 We make a vlog out of it.

01:28:49.000 We're going to start ramping up doing daily vlogs and everything.

01:28:51.000 But the point is, there's got to be something else to kind of clear your mind and help you focus on other things.

01:28:55.000 I do music because I want to scream.

01:28:57.000 When I want to, when I want to exert my rage on someone, I just got to turn it into song.

01:29:02.000 I got to scream with my body's full vigor.

01:29:05.000 And it's a bit of a bad for your vocal cords.

01:29:07.000 Yeah, but it's good for my mind.

01:29:09.000 Play the drums, bro!

01:29:10.000 And it doesn't hurt other people, because taking it out on someone else is terrible.

01:29:14.000 You can't scream in a city, though.

01:29:16.000 They do it online in their text, and you can kind of tell when they're reading in their text.

01:29:22.000 But if you live in a city... It's hard to scream in the city.

01:29:25.000 I lived in Brooklyn.

01:29:26.000 Can't have drums, can't play guitar.

01:29:28.000 You can play guitar, but it's like within certain hours, because you hear the pounding on the floor, then... And unless you're really good, your neighbors are going to complain.

01:29:35.000 Yeah, they're gonna complain no matter what.

01:29:37.000 They don't always complain if you're really good.

01:29:39.000 I lived, I lived in an apartment where someone in the building worked graveyard shift and they're always like, it's like 5pm and they're like, excuse me, I understand.

01:29:46.000 But look, man, I got to sleep and we're like, we'll do our best because we're trying to be nice.

01:29:50.000 It's brutal.

01:29:51.000 I listened to Hardcore History and you know, listen to the stories about how Alexander the Great's mom was, you know, like super difficult sometimes and then after.

01:30:00.000 After he died from partying too hard, there was like literally like 40 years of warfare among his generals to try to sort things out, which makes you feel like, you know, it could be worse.

01:30:10.000 I heard that he was poisoned.

01:30:11.000 Have you heard that theory?

01:30:13.000 Oh, well, for sure.

01:30:15.000 That's a major theory.

01:30:17.000 You know, I don't think anybody knows for sure.

01:30:20.000 I would be surprised if he wasn't at this point.

01:30:23.000 Look, he had put together the largest empire that the world had seen at that point.

01:30:31.000 And so there was a lot of folks with a lot of motivations to do such a thing.

01:30:37.000 Look, clearly he seemed to like to have a good time as well.

01:30:43.000 Um, you know, and so who knows for sure, um, with respect to the, you know, the amount of alcohol that, you know, he, he was, uh, you know, supposed to consume.

01:30:50.000 Um, but, but no, I would say that the, I would say that the consensus among serious historians is that yes, he was.

01:30:58.000 He had led all his generals across Persia and was conquering the world, and they were like, OK, we did it. 0.93

01:31:03.000 Can we go home now and enjoy?

01:31:05.000 Yeah, they got basically halfway through India, and they're kind of looking around at the Himalayan mountains and the snow, and they're like, OK, seriously, what's the point?

01:31:15.000 My assumption was he was like, we're going to go forever.

01:31:18.000 And they were like, no, we're going to, we have to stop him.

01:31:21.000 He's gone too far.

01:31:22.000 He's one of the most, I mean, he's one of those fascinating personalities in history and he had an insatiable appetite to conquer everything.

01:31:28.000 He was, he was, uh, you know, tutored from a young age by what was it?

01:31:31.000 Aristotle.

01:31:32.000 Um, you know, his, his, his, his mother, his father was one of the most powerful figures of his age that handed him like a Ferrari of an army that was tailor made to take, to take over Persia.

01:31:43.000 Essentially.

01:31:44.000 And his mother is one of the most, you know, sort of powerful, fascinating, manipulative, you know, female characters in the ancient period, for sure.

01:31:55.000 And so, yeah, the Alexander Great Story is a good one.

01:31:58.000 Well, how about we ask the audience over in the Super Chats, if you haven't already, give us a little tap of that Like button, subscribe to this channel, become a member over at TimCast.com, and share the show if you really like it.

01:32:08.000 All right, the first and most important question.

01:32:10.000 Hutch the Wolf says, hey, what happened to the stream last night?

01:32:13.000 Well, we have to be very careful because YouTube is communist, so it's on Rumble.

01:32:17.000 So, it's on Rumble, and it's on iTunes and Spotify and all the podcast platforms, but it ain't on YouTube, and that's YouTube's fault, so...

01:32:27.000 Uh, I'll just put it that way.

01:32:29.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:32:31.000 Oh, this is where you take questions from?

01:32:33.000 Yeah, we just read the chats and see what's up.

01:32:35.000 Nice.

01:32:37.000 Mickey Stone says a new dark matter research facility is being built two kilometers underground in Victoria.

01:32:42.000 If they succeed, Australia will have an infinite energy source.

01:32:45.000 Is that real?

01:32:46.000 They've been looking for dark matter for like two decades.

01:32:49.000 And now that I'm studying quantized inertia, I'm wondering if maybe, you know, there's lots of ways to look at something that exists.

01:32:56.000 So like this ball of obsidian, you could write different theories explaining the existence of this ball of obsidian from different layers, like one's the cellular theory of behavior, one's the atomic theory of behavior, one's the subatomic theory.

01:33:08.000 And they're all right, even though they all are different.

01:33:11.000 So I wonder if dark matter could be explained and there could be theories that explain reality without it.

01:33:18.000 You should go to the university.

01:33:20.000 The only thing I can contribute to that answer is that I think if Australia develops it, there could be a lot worse people that develop it.

01:33:28.000 Oh yeah. 0.84

01:33:29.000 All right, Trevor Schoon says, when talking about crap, Critical Race Applied Principles, you said they consider whiteness property. 0.96

01:33:37.000 Do you all think they will try to put a tax on whiteness? 0.97

01:33:40.000 Do I think?

01:33:40.000 They've been trying to.

01:33:41.000 They've come out and said it.

01:33:42.000 It's called reparations.

01:33:44.000 Oh, yeah.

01:33:44.000 Yeah.

01:33:45.000 So if you're, if you're like a, uh... Well, and they've also, they've also started to, you know, just explicitly, uh, provide more benefits to folks who are not white, whether it be getting a COVID vaccine first or it be certain, you know, financial benefits. 0.78

01:33:58.000 So, yeah.

01:33:59.000 Let's say you're from Ukraine.

01:34:02.000 Your parents moved to the United States and then they brought you with them as a child.

01:34:06.000 Or actually, you know, Luke's a good example.

01:34:07.000 Luke is from Poland.

01:34:09.000 His family moved here with him when he was young.

01:34:10.000 He grew up here.

01:34:11.000 Why is he paying taxes and reparations for something he had nothing to do with?

01:34:15.000 Because he's white. 0.82

01:34:17.000 So some people receive and some people lose.

01:34:19.000 Yeah, that's a tax based on race.

01:34:23.000 All right, let's see.

01:34:26.000 AngryWaffle2 says, I live very close to Kenosha.

01:34:28.000 My family still lives there.

01:34:29.000 If Kyle gets an excessive punishment, we need to rise up or punishing self-defense will be the norm.

01:34:35.000 Yep.

01:34:36.000 Yep, so people need to, uh... I can't tell you what the most effective thing to do, but organizing.

01:34:42.000 You know, understanding protest, understanding your power in media, understanding your power in industry.

01:34:47.000 You know, this is the funny thing about, like, January 6th.

01:34:49.000 These people think, and I get these comments from people where they're like, we have to fight, it's the only way, and I'm like, oh, that'll give you control of, like, institutions and colleges?

01:34:58.000 To indoctrinate children?

01:34:59.000 No, it won't do anything.

01:35:01.000 You need to actually be professional, persuasive, resourceful, and get jobs.

01:35:05.000 You know what people can do?

01:35:07.000 People want to know how they can fight back?

01:35:08.000 Apply for a job at Google.

01:35:10.000 There you go.

01:35:11.000 Become part.

01:35:13.000 There has to be almost a counter-long march through the institutions to try to start to

01:35:20.000 take some of these things back.

01:35:23.000 Maximin says, Tim, Facebook wiped all Kyle Rittenhouse and Kenosha shooting content.

01:35:27.000 Search Facebook for his name or Kenosha shooting, nothing comes up at all.

01:35:30.000 They're in the process of removing search terms related.

01:35:33.000 That's because, well, there's two reasons.

01:35:35.000 One, advertisers don't like it.

01:35:36.000 It's not good.

01:35:38.000 And there's probably a political component where they're like, hey, if liberals can't see it happening, they'll just assume the narrative is true.

01:35:44.000 If people watch that video, they're gonna be like, this guy's defending himself.

01:35:48.000 It makes logical sense because every single video shows that he was defending himself.

01:35:51.000 Remember, there's like thousands of videos showing it, it's not just one.

01:35:54.000 He was on the ground, the guy was about to smash his head with a skateboard, could have killed the guy.

01:35:59.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:35:59.000 No, he did the guy at the skateboard did smash his skull with a skateboard and could have easily killed him 0.71

01:36:05.000 Just with that blow but but the person that I think you know you're talking about is the person with the Glock who

01:36:10.000 was literally Coming down to shoot him execute. Yeah, he's like walking

01:36:13.000 up to him with the gun easy He's got a goal. He think well he tried to he tried to fit

01:36:16.000 he tried to fake surrender Yeah, he tried to fix. Yeah, he backs up. He tried to fix

01:36:20.000 her man Kyle What is the what is the precedent like if you go into a mob

01:36:23.000 where people are fighting?

01:36:24.000 With a gun and you walk into it you choose to and then they start grabbing at your gun and you start shooting in

01:36:30.000 defense Are you really defending yourself? Or did you put yourself

01:36:33.000 in a situation where you're the aggressor you're defending yourself, even though you're defending yourself

01:36:38.000 So, uh, there's a lot of questions, especially as the analogy pertains to Kenosha.

01:36:42.000 Do you live or work in this area where there's a mob of people?

01:36:46.000 So that's relevant.

01:36:47.000 Yeah, it is.

01:36:48.000 If you're supposed to be there or you're defending your community.

01:36:51.000 More importantly, though, just because there's a group of unruly, unlawful people doesn't mean you as a citizen have no right to exist and bear arms.

01:36:59.000 Or to be there.

01:37:00.000 I mean, yeah.

01:37:02.000 I got a right to keep in bear arms.

01:37:04.000 So if I'm walking down... I mean, based on what you're saying, Ian, no one in Chicago should be allowed to have guns, period.

01:37:09.000 It's kind of that argument of, if you go into a cage with a bunch of hungry bears and the bears attack you, are you going to blame the bears for attacking you?

01:37:17.000 Or are you going to blame the guy for getting in the bear cage?

01:37:21.000 Similar with what Andy Ngo was experiencing.

01:37:22.000 Sure, sure.

01:37:23.000 Yeah, but they're completely different circumstances.

01:37:26.000 Based on your analogy, no one in Chicago is allowed to defend themselves.

01:37:29.000 Chicago is ridden with crime, violence, gang activity.

01:37:32.000 So self-defense is now wrong because you entered this place.

01:37:37.000 That's different than, don't go out late at night because you'll get mugged.

01:37:41.000 You go out at night in Chicago, you know you run the risk.

01:37:44.000 I mean, I've talked to people in Chicago who are saying they're scared to go out at night because it's just constant.

01:37:48.000 It's getting worse and worse and worse.

01:37:49.000 So many of them stopped doing it.

01:37:51.000 Many of them are, you know, people I know are leaving.

01:37:53.000 We heard about San Francisco.

01:37:54.000 40% of people polled said they were going to leave because of declining quality of life.

01:37:58.000 That's different from, do you have the right to defend yourself?

01:38:00.000 If you have to go, let's say you have a big house and one day you show up and there's a bunch of bears in it.

01:38:08.000 Are you allowed to go in and fight the bears off?

01:38:10.000 Yeah, because it's your house.

01:38:12.000 There's a difference between, should you go into the house?

01:38:14.000 Probably not, unless you can defend yourself.

01:38:16.000 Good point.

01:38:17.000 So it's like, it might be your house.

01:38:18.000 There's a bunch of bears in it right now.

01:38:20.000 You're going to need some help to clear out the bears and in a very, you know, safe way.

01:38:24.000 But if your family was in there and it was like, your medicine was in there, let's say you're a diabetic and your insulin's in the fridge and you're going to die.

01:38:30.000 It's like, you have to go in.

01:38:31.000 Choke a bear.

01:38:31.000 And if the bears attack you, you gotta learn how to fight dead bear with your bare hands.

01:38:35.000 Punch it in the nose. 0.95

01:38:36.000 Unless you've got... I don't know what kind of gun takes down a bear, to be honest. 0.97

01:38:38.000 Sonic?

01:38:39.000 I think you need... Well, that's like, a lot.

01:38:41.000 Well, you need a .50 caliber, for sure.

01:38:43.000 You think a .50 caliber?

01:38:44.000 Well, I think it'd be... That would be your... That would be the very least, I think, you would need to have a chance.

01:38:49.000 .308, though, I'd imagine.

01:38:51.000 Yeah.

01:38:51.000 If, like, not one, but if you get him in the head, maybe, right?

01:38:54.000 I would assume so.

01:38:55.000 I mean, I would feel better about a .50 caliber, I think.

01:38:58.000 But even though I was in the Army, you're the one that lives in the country now, and so you're more up to speed on these things.

01:39:02.000 I don't know, I've not had to fight a grizzly bear.

01:39:04.000 We have a bunch of deer that come here, but we're cool with the deer, they're alright.

01:39:07.000 There's a first for everything.

01:39:08.000 We got turkeys all over the place. 0.97

01:39:10.000 The turkey shot in a 12 gauge is pathetic. 0.99

01:39:12.000 You know what I mean? 0.99

01:39:13.000 But like, it does the turkeys in, I guess, if they're a nuisance on your property.

01:39:17.000 The turkeys come by once a month, we don't mind them.

01:39:20.000 But a, but a bear.

01:39:20.000 I don't know.

01:39:22.000 I think people in the chat are going to know.

01:39:23.000 Uh, what does someone say?

01:39:25.000 338 Winchester?

01:39:25.000 Is it?

01:39:25.000 No, no, no.

01:39:26.000 338 W M.

01:39:28.000 308.

01:39:29.000 Someone said 308.

01:39:30.000 I figured, you know, I don't think, I don't, I don't think 45 would work.

01:39:34.000 No, not a 45.

01:39:35.000 Yeah.

01:39:36.000 45, like standard 40, like 45 ACP subsonic.

01:39:38.000 It's going to get stuck.

01:39:39.000 Just irritate them.

01:39:40.000 Speaking of turkeys, you guys ever hang out like face to face with a turkey before?

01:39:45.000 There's a bunch of them.

01:39:46.000 They're over outside.

01:39:47.000 Have you sat within like six feet of one and just chilled with one ever?

01:39:50.000 I wouldn't call it that.

01:39:51.000 You should.

01:39:52.000 I was in South America and this woman was going to was was housing this turkey to eat it eventually. 1.00

01:39:57.000 And he would come up and sit next to us.

01:39:59.000 And they are terrifying because they have huge claws.

01:40:02.000 They're massive.

01:40:03.000 But then you look in their eyes and they have this kind wisdom in their eyes.

01:40:05.000 I see why Ben Franklin wanted to make it the national bird.

01:40:09.000 They're like the modern velociraptors or something.

01:40:12.000 Here's a good one.

01:40:13.000 Victor G says, amazing how blue-pilled Tim is on conspiracies and then cannot understand how people can be so blind about how corrupt the media is.

01:40:22.000 Actually, I think you, sir, are the one who is blue-pilled.

01:40:25.000 If there is something as such as, like, overly red-pilled, I don't know, but there is an idea that when you take the red pill, you wake up from the Matrix.

01:40:33.000 But you cannot claim that you've seen a meme and looked at circumstantial evidence and it's been enough to prove something definitively.

01:40:41.000 There is a meme that's gone around for a long time about the Clintons, and it lists all of these names. 0.84

01:40:47.000 I have gone through a ton of these names and been like, that's the stupidest attempt at connecting somebody. 0.61

01:40:52.000 It's like, this one firm once handled a bank account for Bill Clinton and their receptionist. 0.97

01:40:58.000 It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:40:59.000 They're like if you've got a company with 3,000 people and someone could you imagine if it's like, you know

01:41:05.000 You go to a shopping mall and then one day someone in the shopping mall turns up dead and they're like but the Clintons

01:41:10.000 were shopping There so coming back to that one. I'll just say that

01:41:13.000 because my firm sued Hillary Clinton on behalf of Tulsa Gabbard I'm just gonna hope that you're correct about that one. I

01:41:19.000 Just think this this latest story with this journalist It's like he broke a story about Loretta Loretta Lynch and

01:41:27.000 Bill Clinton then for years was writing a book about it Then went on a book tour about it and the Clintons were

01:41:33.000 like not yet not yet. Wait for it Wait for it!

01:41:37.000 No!

01:41:38.000 What?!

01:41:38.000 Like, if they wanted to stop him from writing the- like, if they were mad about what he was reporting, wouldn't they stop the book from coming out?

01:41:44.000 It's- it was six years later.

01:41:46.000 You can't be like, well, six years later, it's- People are looking too much for confirmation bias.

01:41:51.000 And they say, I'm bloop- well, someone said, I'm blooping on conspiracies.

01:41:54.000 Bro, I'm doing the investigations and not finding the evidence.

01:41:57.000 I'm not gonna sit here and pretend evidence exists when it doesn't.

01:41:59.000 Oh, that is weird.

01:42:00.000 Clinton getting freaky at Epstein Island.

01:42:01.000 up that are creepy like the painting of Bill Clinton in a dress on Epstein Island or Bill

01:42:05.000 Clinton flying on the Epstein plane 27 times or whatever.

01:42:09.000 Bro, that's creepy stuff that we know happened. 0.60

01:42:12.000 Luke, Luke Gronkowski getting on the boat and jumping onto Epstein Island like a lunatic.

01:42:15.000 What's he doing?

01:42:16.000 Clinton getting freaky at Epstein Island.

01:42:18.000 Unsettling.

01:42:19.000 Yup, yup.

01:42:20.000 All right, let's see what we got.

01:42:22.000 Bye.

01:42:23.000 Doug Andrews says, Greetings Tim and gang.

01:42:25.000 I'm making it a point to watch your videos on Rumble instead of YouTube.

01:42:28.000 Don't fret though, I'm still leaving likes on YouTube.

01:42:30.000 All right, well that's cool.

01:42:32.000 You know, look, we have to leverage these platforms where the culture war is happening.

01:42:37.000 We can't just abandon them.

01:42:39.000 Because, uh, that's where the culture war is happening.

01:42:41.000 So, it is a challenge, right?

01:42:43.000 Twitter, however, I have complete disdain for, and I tweet nonsense.

01:42:46.000 Like, I don't, I don't, maybe I'm still, maybe that's worse.

01:42:50.000 Because I'm giving Twitter the best content, you know what I mean?

01:42:53.000 Like, if I was going to tweet things like, breaking news, you know, Donald Trump did this.

01:42:57.000 Okay, I guess that's like, you know, legitimate, serious content.

01:42:59.000 Instead I'm posting pictures of goats and stuff, just like, yeah, look at this.

01:43:02.000 Look at this, a deer trying to eat my pawpaw.

01:43:04.000 Because I can say one can tell that you're sort of messing with the universe with your tweets sometimes, which is very fascinating, as opposed to Cassandra's just full on attack mode.

01:43:15.000 Following Cassandra is the best it is.

01:43:17.000 All right, let's see.

01:43:21.000 Noah Zork says, although I consider myself an amateur sleuth, I believe I can say with some certainty that the person that fired on Ashley Babbitt was on the other side of the glass.

01:43:29.000 I mean, there's a video of it, isn't there?

01:43:31.000 Yeah, of the guy, right?

01:43:32.000 Of the specific... I don't know, is there an actual video of the guy holding the gun, releasing the chamber, or is it like you just kind of see where the guy is and then...

01:43:40.000 No, there is video of his hands holding the firearm.

01:43:47.000 He also, I will note, that he interestingly, I think, removes one of his hands from the firearm and seems to take it to his earpiece that you cannot see.

01:43:59.000 But that seems to be the natural conclusion.

01:44:01.000 There are a lot of questions about January 6th.

01:44:05.000 There are a lot of questions about that incident as well.

01:44:08.000 Alright, Zach Goo says, I work at a large trucking company.

01:44:11.000 We haul refrigerated goods.

01:44:12.000 Had a meeting today about how our trucks aren't being fixed due to parts on backorder.

01:44:16.000 They also said all oil changes are suspended due to oil shortage.

01:44:21.000 I've heard some creepy scuttlebutt about oil and gas.

01:44:25.000 Oh yeah.

01:44:26.000 Just scuttlebutt. 0.57

01:44:26.000 Just internet rumors. 0.57

01:44:28.000 People could be freaking out.

01:44:29.000 Who knows?

01:44:29.000 We'll see.

01:44:30.000 So should we order like 60 pounds of WD-40 or something?

01:44:33.000 No.

01:44:35.000 No.

01:44:36.000 For breakfast, I've been having fresh eggs and vegetables from our own garden.

01:44:41.000 It's the greatest feeling when you're like, I eat food of my own creation.

01:44:44.000 You know what I mean?

01:44:45.000 The chickens, we let them in the farm, they eat the bugs.

01:44:48.000 They got our tomatoes though, but we're kind of happy they did.

01:44:50.000 Somebody did.

01:44:51.000 I just drink espresso and I have to start eating more healthy, so I'm gonna come hang out with you.

01:44:55.000 But it's just a great feeling to be like, we grew our, oh man, we have so many cherry tomatoes off of one plant.

01:45:00.000 Yeah, I heard you talk about that on the show.

01:45:01.000 They do sound, it does sound yummy.

01:45:02.000 I took like 20.

01:45:03.000 Threw him in a pot with some olive oil, and then I poured the fresh eggs over the top and let the egg just... Those cherry tomatoes, they just pop there.

01:45:12.000 I diced a zucchini from the garden and sautéed it with red wine vinegar and salt.

01:45:16.000 Dude, it was next level!

01:45:19.000 I put a sausage in there with it and kind of let the sausage grease kind of go in.

01:45:23.000 Oh really?

01:45:23.000 Man, it was good!

01:45:24.000 That does sound really good.

01:45:25.000 That's the way to live for sure.

01:45:26.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:45:27.000 When people are worried about... There's been food shortages, oil shortages, trucker shortages, gas stations are starting to run dry across the country.

01:45:33.000 It's happening.

01:45:34.000 They say it's not a gas shortage, it's a trucker shortage.

01:45:36.000 I'm just like, say it all you want, okay?

01:45:38.000 I got some electric bikes.

01:45:40.000 Not too fast.

01:45:41.000 I got an electric car.

01:45:41.000 We'll see how long that lasts.

01:45:42.000 We're getting the solar panels and stuff.

01:45:44.000 We have these backup batteries and the power went out here.

01:45:47.000 We immediately ran and plugged in all the backup batteries, and we're still able to do the show, even though Storm knocked out the power.

01:45:51.000 Very exciting.

01:45:51.000 But these batteries come with solar panels you can lay out in the sun and plug in, and they charge off solar.

01:45:57.000 It's fantastic.

01:45:57.000 And they're huge.

01:45:58.000 If you only have, like, one panel set, it would take, like, probably three days to fully charge the box.

01:46:04.000 But we actually have, like, I think we have, like, 24.

01:46:08.000 So you lay them all out on the ground in the grass, plug it in, and it charges up in an hour or two.

01:46:13.000 And you can run AC off of it.

01:46:14.000 You can run your washing machine.

01:46:15.000 It's amazing.

01:46:16.000 These things are fantastic.

01:46:17.000 Can you run multiple batteries through all, like 24 panels and like eight batteries?

01:46:22.000 Can you have them all plugged in?

01:46:23.000 Technically, yeah, but it's not worth it to do it that way.

01:46:26.000 You just charge the one up, then switch it over and switch it over and switch it over because you'll get some like diminishing returns.

01:46:31.000 I heard your discussion about gold on your last show, and a lot of people think about that when it comes to the apocalypse scenario, but your discussion of that was very persuasive, that that's not really where you want to go.

01:46:43.000 But I don't think the apocalypse is going to happen.

01:46:45.000 Gold is excellent if you think there's going to be an economy.

01:46:49.000 Gold is valuable among humans.

01:46:51.000 But if we're talking Mad Max, what do you want gold for?

01:46:56.000 You know what I mean?

01:46:58.000 It's useful as a medium of exchange in a at least marginally functioning society.

01:47:03.000 But other than that, it's like food and water and weapons.

01:47:07.000 And we have been marginally functioning throughout the last 4,000, 6,000, 8,000 years, even though there's been catastrophe and war, we still continue to function.

01:47:14.000 Gold persisted.

01:47:15.000 I'm just saying, like, if we nuke ourselves and it's, like, the last man on Earth, you're not gonna trade someone gold.

01:47:20.000 They're gonna be like, bro, I need water.

01:47:22.000 Do you have water?

01:47:23.000 I'll give you some bread.

01:47:24.000 But even if, like, there's a peaceful divorce and major conflict, gold and silver are, in my opinion, for me, good bets.

01:47:31.000 It's certainly good to have in reserve, for sure.

01:47:34.000 Yeah, I'm definitely interested in precious metals and cryptocurrency, but you've got to balance it.

01:47:39.000 I'm not giving financial advice.

01:47:41.000 I'm just saying, for me, I think it's important to have a balance between some different hard assets, stocks, and everything.

01:47:47.000 I can't remember who we were talking to.

01:47:48.000 They said if the market collapses, then you need to have some liquid assets so you can move in and out.

01:47:55.000 But if you put everything in one basket, who knows what's going to happen?

01:47:57.000 You gotta be ready to pounce on assets if the market folds, basically.

01:48:01.000 I think what people realize in 2008-2009 is that essentially all paper assets can go to hell in one fell swoop.

01:48:08.000 Alright, we got this one from Dalamar.

01:48:09.000 He says, John Pierce.

01:48:10.000 Matthew Peirce was arrested today for entering the Capitol with a GoPro camera and press badges on.

01:48:15.000 Friends are unsure of his status right now.

01:48:17.000 He was streaming on Twitch and on DLive covering the event.

01:48:20.000 He is going to need a lawyer.

01:48:22.000 So look, I am here and I'm trying to help, you know, everybody, everybody they can because a lot of people need help.

01:48:27.000 So, so, so, so reach out, you know, each defendant's obviously in a different scenario in terms of, you know, the facts of each case.

01:48:35.000 And again, there's some very interesting things about January 6.

01:48:41.000 It gets more interesting by the day.

01:48:42.000 Yeah.

01:48:43.000 The 21.6 Talk Show says, Tony Bobulinski.

01:48:47.000 There he is.

01:48:48.000 That's the name.

01:48:49.000 Tony Bobulinski.

01:48:50.000 We were not actually that close.

01:48:52.000 No, we were way off.

01:48:57.000 Pancake Astronaut says, love the show, trying to create culture.

01:49:01.000 If you could, sir, shout out my metal band, Mind Virus.

01:49:04.000 There you go, Mind Virus.

01:49:08.000 Alright, let's see.

01:49:10.000 Michael Schwobel says there is a video out there of Trump supporters outside in MAGA hats asking the police why they're not stopping them.

01:49:17.000 Yep, seen it.

01:49:18.000 That does exist.

01:49:19.000 He's yelling at the cop like, what are you doing?

01:49:21.000 Why aren't you doing anything?

01:49:22.000 And the cop's just like, meh.

01:49:24.000 And that man was fired up about it, yes.

01:49:26.000 Those cops were clearly... You know they were ordered to stand down.

01:49:29.000 No, no, no, bro!

01:49:29.000 Because if they had gotten into altercations and fought people, it would have been the worst optical... There's video of the cops letting them in.

01:49:35.000 Yeah, they were ordered probably to not get involved and just be as passive as possible.

01:49:39.000 It's obvious that Donald... It's obviously Donald Trump told all the police, you know, I'm the back the blue president, and they were like, you got it, and the cops were like, we're gonna make this happen.

01:49:49.000 Ooh, that's another conspiracy theory.

01:49:52.000 Hold on, hold on.

01:49:52.000 It's not a conspiracy theory.

01:49:54.000 Trump's like, let them in.

01:49:55.000 Trump was the president.

01:49:56.000 Trump supports police.

01:49:57.000 Police let people in and helped facilitate the insurrection.

01:50:00.000 Let's round up all these Capitol cops.

01:50:03.000 Now the cops that were defending the Capitol, okay, you guys are free to go.

01:50:06.000 And the cops that refused to intervene or open the doors, we gotta get those cops rounded up and investigated, don't we?

01:50:13.000 I think that there's, from a factual standpoint, there is no question that there were Capitol Hill police that were not just letting people in, but were urging people to come in.

01:50:22.000 And I think that there are very direct and tough cross-examination questions that need to be asked of each one of those individuals.

01:50:29.000 All right.

01:50:30.000 Let's see what we got.

01:50:31.000 Rob Santana says, Tim, in Tomorrow War... Oh, spoiler alert for those that haven't seen Tomorrow War, because here it comes.

01:50:38.000 Tim, in Tomorrow War, they need two jabs to kill the Queen in the past when they could just have blown up the ship in the first place. 0.99

01:50:46.000 That's correct.

01:50:47.000 Yep.

01:50:48.000 So many questions.

01:50:49.000 Yeah.

01:50:52.000 I didn't get that deep in the analysis.

01:50:54.000 All right, we're going in.

01:50:55.000 We're going in.

01:50:55.000 You guys ready for this?

01:50:56.000 Yeah.

01:50:56.000 Spoiler alerts to the umpteenth degree.

01:50:59.000 For those who have not seen The Tomorrow War, you're not going to want to hear this, but I am going to now, Tara.

01:51:03.000 Two shreds.

01:51:03.000 Do it.

01:51:04.000 So, The Tomorrow War.

01:51:05.000 It's about a bunch of people, they're chilling, and then all of a sudden a portal opens and people from the future come back to the past saying, we are losing a war against aliens and we're going to draft people from the past to fight in the future because we're desperate.

01:51:16.000 Okay, I guess.

01:51:17.000 Sure, it's kind of a weird plot, but I do appreciate the uniqueness of it.

01:51:20.000 All right, let's talk about this.

01:51:22.000 So, Chris Pratt goes in for testing, and they find out that he's going to die in seven years.

01:51:27.000 The war takes place in 30 years.

01:51:29.000 They say, you've been drafted.

01:51:31.000 They send him and a bunch of middle-aged people to the future.

01:51:34.000 At some point, someone notes, you notice that all the soldiers that came to the past are very young, and all the people that go to the future are very old, and they go, oh, they're trying to avoid a paradox, so that someone in the past doesn't interact with themselves in the future, and the people who come to the past haven't been born yet.

01:51:51.000 And I'm like, oh, except in the movie, everyone's dead in the future.

01:51:56.000 Everyone is.

01:51:57.000 It makes no sense to be like, he dies in seven years and go to war.

01:52:00.000 There's only half a million people left on the planet.

01:52:02.000 So, why would they draft a bunch of old people when everyone's already dead? 1.00

01:52:05.000 Now, who dies first?

01:52:06.000 In the movie, turns out Chris Pratt's daughter is his little girl, and then he gets drafted into the future, and sure enough, the colonel in command, it's his daughter!

01:52:20.000 Colonel!

01:52:20.000 And she goes, well, when people start getting knocked off, you wear a lot of names or whatever.

01:52:25.000 Basically implying that you become colonel when everyone else is killed in the war.

01:52:30.000 Which is to imply most of the soldiers are dead.

01:52:34.000 Why would they draft a bunch of middle-aged fat people like this fat guy to go and fight in a war unless all of their frontline infantry had actually died already?

01:52:43.000 In which case, people from the past who are actually in the military Would be the ones to be drafted.

01:52:49.000 Of course.

01:52:49.000 Because they'd be like, you're already dead in the future.

01:52:52.000 Now we're gonna take you and bring you into the fight in the future. 0.99

01:52:55.000 It's ridiculous.

01:52:56.000 Also, what if they pulled someone's dad into the future and got him killed in war before he had the kid that was the soldier from the future? 0.90

01:53:03.000 Right, it makes no sense.

01:53:04.000 It makes no sense.

01:53:06.000 I assure you, I could make a better movie.

01:53:08.000 I could write a better story.

01:53:10.000 I'm not sure if it's because it's getting late or not, but you're just, it's now like above... Your mind's moving faster than mine is on this one.

01:53:18.000 Oh, dude, I already rewrote the whole movie after watching it.

01:53:21.000 I do this with a lot of movies.

01:53:22.000 I'm like, okay, let me rewrite the plot.

01:53:24.000 He was a military vet.

01:53:25.000 It should have been shortly after.

01:53:27.000 They should have been only drafting military.

01:53:29.000 There's a whole lot that should have changed in that movie.

01:53:30.000 But you will keep Chris Pratt in the movie.

01:53:32.000 Oh, definitely!

01:53:33.000 He's so good.

01:53:34.000 And I thought the daughter character was really good.

01:53:36.000 She's good too, yeah.

01:53:38.000 Chris is the only reason to watch that movie, honestly.

01:53:40.000 Oh, I just remembered where I saw her.

01:53:42.000 She was in Live Another Day 24, the Jack Bauer.

01:53:47.000 Oh, interesting.

01:53:47.000 She played the CIA agent in London.

01:53:50.000 Yes, that's where I recognized her from.

01:53:52.000 Zach Robinson says, is this enough to say I'm sorry?

01:53:55.000 Never changed him.

01:53:56.000 I can't believe you read that last night.

01:53:58.000 When is the live chat coming with your live website streams?

01:54:01.000 That would be fire.

01:54:02.000 Free culture war discourse is the best discourse.

01:54:05.000 You could even air at 11 and react to chat.

01:54:07.000 We have a lot of plans, but it's just...

01:54:10.000 I'll break it down.

01:54:11.000 You know, there's a lot of people need to understand there's no amount of money that can get you what you want if it doesn't exist, right?

01:54:16.000 I was hanging out with this dude, this YouTube guy, and we were in DC, and this was actually on January 20th.

01:54:26.000 It was Trump's inauguration.

01:54:27.000 This guy comes down and we were talking and I said, so what did you fly in first class to get down here?

01:54:34.000 And he laughs and goes, first class?

01:54:36.000 I'm way beyond that.

01:54:37.000 And I laughed and I was like, oh, a private plane?

01:54:39.000 And he goes, dude, I took the train.

01:54:41.000 And I started laughing.

01:54:42.000 It's like, how do you think you get from New York to DC?

01:54:47.000 Why would you spend five hours going to get it?

01:54:50.000 Just hop on the train.

01:54:50.000 It's much more relaxing to take the train.

01:54:52.000 You walk in, you hop on the train, it's right there, boom, you're in DC.

01:54:54.000 You're on the ground.

01:54:55.000 And I was like, oh.

01:54:57.000 There's no amount of money.

01:54:58.000 Like, if you want to get a private plane, it still takes time to go to the airport, charter the plane, get the permissions, get on the runway, you're waiting in line.

01:55:07.000 Trains faster.

01:55:08.000 People don't realize this.

01:55:09.000 So, here's what's happening with the website dev.

01:55:11.000 I can go to the developers and say, I will give you all the money in the world, and they say, there's still only so much work a person can do in development.

01:55:19.000 You can't have 10 people designing one thing because then you've got a bunch of code conflicting with each other and no one knows what someone else is building.

01:55:26.000 So it actually has diminishing returns.

01:55:28.000 So there's like actually a happy medium of how many people you can have developing something.

01:55:32.000 So it takes a long time.

01:55:33.000 So we want to have website streams.

01:55:35.000 We want to have so you can listen to the bonus podcasts.

01:55:39.000 We're going to be doing audio only versions with all the members podcasts for people who want lower bandwidth and want to listen in areas without high speed and stuff like that.

01:55:47.000 I think Rumble already offers a low-bandwidth version as well, but we want to do an audio-only.

01:55:50.000 It's going to take a bunch of dev.

01:55:53.000 So, websites first, then the mobile app, but we're going to have a ton of crazy content.

01:55:58.000 We are going to have, like, we already have technically three shows.

01:56:01.000 You have Tim Pool Show, which is me monologuing, Tim Guest IRL, which is the conversations, we have Cast Castle, which is the vlog, the next one we're doing is the Unexplained and the Paranormal and all that stuff.

01:56:11.000 It's going to be epic, and that should be starting up in the next month or so.

01:56:16.000 And then we're going to be doing tech, gaming, all sorts of stuff.

01:56:19.000 We're probably going to do like true crime, obviously, but we're going to have a bunch of different shows.

01:56:24.000 I'm so excited to do a tech show.

01:56:26.000 Oh, yeah, but we need weird technology. 0.89

01:56:28.000 So the interesting thing is, I think there's an overlap with you, Ian, in like the unexplained show, but there's got to be like the wild world of science with Ian kind of thing.

01:56:35.000 You guys just got to go crazy.

01:56:37.000 So where do you guys stand on like the UFO revelations with these Pentagon videos?

01:56:42.000 I think they're really using it as an opportunity to raise money for the military right now as like a kind of a scare tactic.

01:56:49.000 But also I've been studying these things called talking plasma balls that the military's been working on, where they'll coordinate lasers, three or more, into the atmosphere to trisect them and create a ball of plasma, which is showing up on radar.

01:57:02.000 And then they can move the ball around and they're like, how does this, how can a ship even move like that?

01:57:07.000 But it's tracking on radar.

01:57:09.000 Yeah, it's like actual craft.

01:57:10.000 I think it's Tesla tech that they've recovered and I've been working on lightweight drones since the 30s or 40s Yeah, you ever point a laser pointer at a wall when a cat was in the room and the laser pointers moving like in ridiculous ways Yeah, because you can just like move the light and the cats just like freaking out like how is it doing this?

01:57:25.000 That's what we're doing right now.

01:57:27.000 We're like look at these ships and it's probably a guy with the flashlight.

01:57:30.000 He's like No, for real, you make that point with the plasma balls.

01:57:33.000 Yeah, talking plasma balls.

01:57:34.000 But even if it's plasma, whatever it is, it could literally just be that they're in a plane, and it's a high-powered visible laser moving, and then it disappears, and they're like, whoa!

01:57:44.000 And it's like, you're looking at a light, dude!

01:57:46.000 Right.

01:57:47.000 It's how is it moving so fast and turning on a diamond, going through clouds, and it punched a hole in the clouds.

01:57:51.000 Yeah, high-powered laser.

01:57:52.000 How about that?

01:57:53.000 But the craft I'm really interested in, like, what are the materials that they make?

01:57:56.000 Bob Lazar worked at Area 51.

01:57:58.000 He saw, like, according to him, like, I don't know, nine different shapes of craft that apparently can move.

01:58:02.000 And I have friends that have worked, Jeremy Rist, the alien scientist working on anti-gravity.

01:58:05.000 That's a real technology.

01:58:07.000 Like if you create enough horizontal momentum, you can kind of negate vertical momentum and then move things up.

01:58:12.000 So this idea of spinning things super fast can create the ability to lift.

01:58:18.000 I don't know.

01:58:19.000 I don't know if air has anything to do with it.

01:58:22.000 All right.

01:58:22.000 Well, let's read a little bit more because I got to read this one.

01:58:25.000 Michael Heilers says, 458 SOCOM kills pretty much everything depending on range and load.

01:58:32.000 If anyone's ever seen a 458 SOCOM, oh yeah, they're massive.

01:58:36.000 But yeah, yeah, I guess so.

01:58:40.000 I don't know, would a SABO slug and a 12-gauge work on a Grizzly?

01:58:44.000 I'd imagine it would.

01:58:44.000 Oh, a SABO, if we can talk about tanks, I can tell you a SABO round would take out a Grizzly.

01:58:48.000 Well, I can't show it on camera, but we'll just... What is a SABO exactly?

01:58:53.000 A sabre round is the primary tank killing round that another tank uses.

01:58:57.000 I'll look at it later.

01:58:58.000 But a sabre round is the primary tank...

01:58:59.000 I'm like showing you.

01:59:00.000 I can't switch the camera now.

01:59:01.000 It's a primary tank killing round that another tank uses.

01:59:02.000 It's an armor-piercing, fin-stabilized, discarding sabre round with tracer, which essentially

01:59:03.000 means...

01:59:04.000 Sabre is the French word for shoe.

01:59:05.000 So essentially, it's a depleted uranium dart.

01:59:06.000 It's a depleted uranium dart.

01:59:16.000 I'm not talking about that!

01:59:18.000 I'm just talking about a slug from a shotgun.

01:59:22.000 That would definitely take out the grizzly bear. 0.96

01:59:25.000 So it's encased, and when you shoot it, it breaks out and the slug comes out.

01:59:30.000 Do they always have tracers in them, or is that just the military versions?

01:59:32.000 Well, this is a shotgun slug, so there's no tracer in it.

01:59:35.000 But it's a polymer tip, and it's gonna put a 10-inch hole in something.

01:59:39.000 I imagine it would harm a grizzly bear a great deal.

01:59:41.000 Yeah.

01:59:42.000 At least I'd... The tank ground would definitively kill the grizzly bear.

01:59:45.000 Yeah.

01:59:46.000 A lot of people were saying, yeah, someone says 12-gauge slug.

01:59:49.000 Some people are saying 308.

01:59:51.000 People are saying, show it.

01:59:52.000 This is YouTube, we can't.

01:59:53.000 We can only talk about it.

01:59:54.000 But to my right, there's some fancy stuff.

01:59:56.000 Oh man, if only you could see.

01:59:58.000 Actually, there was a photo.

01:59:59.000 People post photos when they go on the show, and you can see them on Instagram.

02:00:02.000 Luke got me a flintlock pistol.

02:00:04.000 Beautiful.

02:00:05.000 Yeah, it's not an FFL item, I think.

02:00:08.000 It's stunning.

02:00:09.000 It should be on display somewhere.

02:00:11.000 Yeah, it's not a regulated weapon, I think.

02:00:14.000 From like the colonial days?

02:00:15.000 I mean, or the pirate days?

02:00:16.000 Yeah, something like that.

02:00:17.000 I don't know how old it is.

02:00:18.000 Well, it's a replica, I think.

02:00:20.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

02:00:22.000 The Reaper Nation says, Hey Tim, would you ever consider having Donut Operator on the show?

02:00:26.000 Yes, we would.

02:00:27.000 Stanny invite! 1.00

02:00:28.000 Absolutely.

02:00:29.000 Yeah, he seems great, actually.

02:00:32.000 Kevin Robillard just posted a bunch of gorillas.

02:00:35.000 Oh, yes, and we have a new shirt.

02:00:38.000 Uh, this one's mostly for the skate park dwelling denizens, skate park denizens.

02:00:42.000 But, uh, if you go to TimCast.com and click store, we have stickers and shirts that it's the Gadsden Snake wearing a beanie on a skateboard and says, don't snake me, bro.

02:00:51.000 So it's a play on, obviously, don't tread on me and also don't tase me, bro.

02:00:55.000 And it's don't snake me.

02:00:56.000 So snake is a verb in skateboarding or whatever skate park culture.

02:01:02.000 Everybody kind of waits their turn.

02:01:04.000 So there will be like a rail and one at a time people will take their turn and you kind of just, you know, I'm gonna sit back.

02:01:09.000 It's very anarchic.

02:01:09.000 It's very anarchist.

02:01:10.000 You know, you're letting people sort of do their thing, but eventually someone just barges in and snakes you.

02:01:17.000 It's when you're about to go and they just cut you off and go and you're like, bro, don't snake me, dude.

02:01:22.000 So we made shirts and it's a little... That is the one piece of swag I must have at some point someday.

02:01:27.000 I'm gonna get a bunch of the stickers.

02:01:29.000 But I posted it and a bunch of skateboarders are hitting me up on Instagram and they're like, yes, I want the shirt!

02:01:34.000 Like, you're wearing it in the skate park, don't snake me, bro.

02:01:38.000 Yeah, because they do it man they do it but don't tase me bro videos just one of don't tase me bro one of a kind Those are the days, huh?

02:01:47.000 All right.

02:01:47.000 Let's see.

02:01:47.000 We got here trick God says Tomorrow war you forget that Pratt's generation would be useless to the present trying to prepare for a future war Recall that the present still needs to fight I saw the best meme ever.

02:02:01.000 It's Chris Pratt from the Tomorrow War holding his gun, which is a short-barreled rifle with magnification on it, and they're going through, like, why someone would be using this weapon, and then it's like, it's like someone from the- I can't break it down for you perfectly, but it's like someone from the future comes to the past and goes to a gun store, and they're like, we need weapons to fight a war.

02:02:21.000 And they're like, okay, so I'd imagine you're gonna want, you know, like an AR-15, you know, standard.

02:02:27.000 No, no, I want a short barreled rifle.

02:02:28.000 Okay, so it's gonna be what?

02:02:30.000 A short range?

02:02:31.000 Nope.

02:02:31.000 He's like, then he's like, okay, so you're gonna want like a red dot?

02:02:34.000 Nope.

02:02:34.000 Magnification?

02:02:35.000 And they're like, huh?

02:02:36.000 Okay, well, all right.

02:02:38.000 So these things must be small and close.

02:02:41.000 Nope, they're massive.

02:02:42.000 Oh my gosh.

02:02:44.000 And they move around so fast that you'd never actually be able to see them in those circular, like, magnification things, because you've got to line it up.

02:02:53.000 I wasn't panked, but you know what really bothered me about that movie is the infinite bullets they had.

02:02:58.000 They did not seem to have to reload very often, if ever.

02:03:01.000 See, this is why I really like Stargate SG-1.

02:03:04.000 They use P90s, and they're often in a lot of close-quarter situations, and they often are reloading.

02:03:11.000 And they actually explain P90s and the 50-round magazine.

02:03:18.000 I think tomorrow we're producers and I could be your biggest fans after tonight.

02:03:23.000 Or maybe bring a massive attention.

02:03:27.000 I think it really just is, it's like in The Dark Knight.

02:03:32.000 What did Harvey Dent say?

02:03:35.000 The Batman?

02:03:36.000 Yeah.

02:03:36.000 That's filmed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

02:03:38.000 So when he's talking to the guy in court and then the guy's like, I'm the real mastermind, whatever the guy's name is, a fall guy.

02:03:47.000 Then Harvey Dent walks up to him, and he pulls out the gun.

02:03:49.000 It clicks, and then Harvey grabs the gun, disassembles it, and then he says, like, Chinese-made .28 caliber.

02:03:54.000 If you want to assassinate a U.S.D., I suggest you buy American. 1.00

02:04:00.000 I think he said .28 caliber or something, and I saw that, and, you know, before I knew anything about guns, it never meant anything to me.

02:04:07.000 Then I rewatched it, and I heard him say that, and I was like, 28?

02:04:10.000 Is that what he said?

02:04:13.000 I looked it up and all I found were forums of people saying like, what?

02:04:16.000 What is this?

02:04:18.000 Like, why would they do that?

02:04:19.000 And some people speculated that producers did it on purpose.

02:04:22.000 Like, purposefully.

02:04:23.000 Like a 555 phone number?

02:04:25.000 No, like they knew gun people would make a thing of it.

02:04:28.000 Don't you also think with some of the movies that are on the streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon that sometimes they're trying to get the content out so fast that they don't put the same kind of time into things that they used to?

02:04:39.000 I think that's what happened with The Tomorrow War.

02:04:41.000 That was a conclusion I reached because I watched it too and I reached a lot of the same conclusions Tim did and I was watching it and I was like, I bet Tim is overanalyzing every single bit of this stupid movie but at least Chris Pratt is in it.

02:04:51.000 That's why I watched it. 0.94

02:04:52.000 That is true and correct.

02:04:54.000 Oh, I saw this move some Roman show about the Romans and they were like handling they were getting charged by the barbarians and they're like testudo and they all went into their their arrow protection testudo turtle form where they're like, but it's not how you handle a charge at all.

02:05:07.000 You'd get wiped out if you were in testudo formation.

02:05:09.000 So they then the charge came and they were like falling on top of their just so and all the comments like what who?

02:05:14.000 What historian is on staff with this movie crew that told them a test?

02:05:19.000 So we've got a pretty tough question for you before we sign off.

02:05:23.000 I was surprised there wasn't one yet.

02:05:24.000 Oh, no, there's a bunch of them, but I'm just... You're being very diplomatic.

02:05:27.000 He's curating them.

02:05:28.000 Thank you.

02:05:28.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:05:29.000 But this one, of course, pertaining to Kyle Rittenhouse, and a lot of people want to know.

02:05:34.000 They say that you've been accused of taking money from Kyle Rittenhouse, and they'd like to know if you have a response.

02:05:39.000 Uh, so, so that's completely untrue.

02:05:40.000 Um, you know, and I'm just going to leave it at that because, you know, there could be pending litigation about that, but that's completely a thousand percent, uh, untrue and never do such a thing.

02:05:48.000 And I wish nothing but the best for Kyle and he's completely innocent and needs to be, uh, acquitted.

02:05:52.000 I do want to say one thing to a lot of people too, that you need to understand, and I'll, and I'll throw a reference to Carl Benjamin and Akilah Hughes's lawsuit.

02:05:59.000 Sargon of, Sargon of Akkad, you may know him.

02:06:01.000 Um, he got sued and he kept his mouth shut about what was going on and let the courts handle it.

02:06:06.000 Ultimately he won.

02:06:07.000 I'm not saying anything about this or whatever that case may be, but I think there's something to be said for people who say, I'm gonna keep it, you know, quiet, we're gonna let the courts figure things out, and for people who go on social media and start saying, this is what happens, what happens, what happened.

02:06:22.000 Not to say anybody's right or wrong, but I think it's important that, especially in things like this, Look, I'll just put it this way.

02:06:29.000 I've got my fair share of litigation, and I never talk about it.

02:06:32.000 And people try to drag me into it.

02:06:33.000 You can't.

02:06:34.000 You don't bring it up. 0.64

02:06:35.000 It is a foolish move to get into that stuff publicly.

02:06:38.000 Don't do it.

02:06:39.000 But a lot of people were, of course, asking it, so we're going to save that one for last before we sign off.

02:06:45.000 We don't shy away from the hard questions.

02:06:47.000 I read people smack-talking me.

02:06:48.000 I try to as well, because we want to keep it real, I guess.
