Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Man Tries To KILL Youtuber Hunter Avallone Next To Timcast Building w-Rep Cory Mills

00:00:00.000 So, uh, it's kind of a crazy story.

00:00:18.000 Uh, there's a YouTuber named Hunter Avalon, we've had him on the show before, I think a couple years ago, and I had no idea that he lived or, uh, yeah, I guess he lived, like, like a couple doors down from our building in Martinsburg, West Virginia, where we have people currently doing work.

00:00:36.000 And, uh, I'm, I'm, I'm just finding, I just started finding this story out like an hour ago, not even.

00:00:40.000 Some guy showed up, he, so he's dating someone, that guy's, uh, that woman's ex-boyfriend came with a shotgun, fired through the door, striking the woman, trying to kill Hunter Avalon, at least it appears according to text messages that were released, and, uh, I don't know, just, it's just crazy, a little shook up, I had to, you know, call family because...

00:00:58.000 It's just, I don't know, it's a crazy story.

00:01:00.000 There's a bunch of political stuff, obviously.

00:01:02.000 You've got this fake story running, Vivek Ramaswamy wanting to run as the Libertarian candidate.

00:01:07.000 I don't believe that's real.

00:01:08.000 The Vivek's team has refuted it, saying this is outright lies, and it looks like just before the Iowa... It's a caucus, right?

00:01:15.000 Iowa caucuses.

00:01:16.000 Correct.

00:01:16.000 They're trying to spike the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign, so...

00:01:22.000 It's crazy.

00:01:23.000 You know, a lot of crazy things happen around the world, but considering Hunter Avalon has been a guest on the show, he's a political commentator, you know, I figure we'll go over this one and just Yeah, we'll definitely talk about this.

00:01:34.000 We'll talk about a bunch of other stuff.

00:01:36.000 We've got news about the Iowa caucus and Ron DeSantis.

00:01:40.000 Ron and his team basically calling for people outside the state to come and caucus.

00:01:44.000 So that one's, I don't know, not a good story.

00:01:47.000 We've got, I think it's Missouri.

00:01:48.000 I'll have to double check because I'm just, my brain is wrapped around this. 0.98

00:01:52.000 Holy crap. 0.89

00:01:52.000 Some dude just, like, the guy got into a shootout with the cops. 0.89

00:01:56.000 Took his own life.

00:01:57.000 I mean, this story's crazy.

00:01:58.000 And this happened down, like, next, like, effectively next door to our building where we have people.

00:02:02.000 And, you know, it's kind of, wow, I'm just kind of screwed up over it.

00:02:06.000 But Missouri, I think it is, wants to make an abortion murder. 1.00

00:02:09.000 So, you know, we'll definitely talk about that.

00:02:11.000 But we do have an awesome guest who rescued 255 people?

00:02:16.000 Yeah.

00:02:17.000 Is that it?

00:02:17.000 255 people.

00:02:18.000 And that's not even the first time you've done it.

00:02:19.000 So we're going to get into this.

00:02:22.000 Before we do, ladies and gentlemen, Man, it is really hard to follow through with the promo after reading all the stuff and seeing what's going on, you know, near us.

00:02:32.000 But head over to TheBestSongEver.com and you can pre-order on iTunes and Amazon.

00:02:39.000 You want to switch to the other view because we can't actually see the pre-order?

00:02:42.000 Oh, yeah.

00:02:43.000 So there you go.

00:02:44.000 The pre-order on Amazon and iTunes.

00:02:46.000 Together again.

00:02:48.000 The best song ever.

00:02:49.000 It is the greatest song ever written.

00:02:50.000 Everyone agrees.

00:02:51.000 And I can say that because I didn't write it.

00:02:53.000 Jeremy Boring of the Daily Wire did.

00:02:55.000 And so this is the culmination of some really big music industry FUs.

00:03:01.000 A big middle finger we're giving.

00:03:03.000 I probably shouldn't say that, considering we're trying to basically game the music industry as it is. 0.97

00:03:09.000 But, you know, between us and the Daily Wire, We kind of want to stick it to the big fat cats in the music industry and in every industry, basically, that is taken over by woke garbage and nonsense.

00:03:20.000 And so what we did was we did a cover version in a modern synth-pop style of Jeremy Boring and Michael Knoll's Smokey Mike and the God King song.

00:03:30.000 It is officially launching on the 15th.

00:03:32.000 You can pre-order on iTunes and Amazon right now and go to TheBestSongEver.com, pre-order it, Because what we're hoping to do is just, you know, sell a bunch of these songs, have an impact, and just let them know we are giving them the middle finger.

00:03:48.000 So, with your support, if you're a fan of, like, modern pop, I guess you'll like it.

00:03:52.000 A lot of people seem to like the song.

00:03:54.000 Shout out to Carter Banks for producing it.

00:03:55.000 Also become a member over at TimCast.com by clicking join us, support our work directly, so we can do things like give a big middle finger.

00:04:04.000 But the music video is dropping.

00:04:07.000 On the 15th, in the super early hours of the morning, and Michael Knowles and Jeremy Boring do make an appearance, as well as Phil Labonte, and it's going to be a whole lot of fun, so that will be all throughout next week.

00:04:19.000 We're going to be promoting it, and you can pre-order it now.

00:04:21.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this, and all of the people that he rescued, and the amazing work he's doing, is Rep.

00:04:27.000 Cory Mills.

00:04:28.000 Thanks for having me.

00:04:29.000 Appreciate it.

00:04:29.000 Welcome back!

00:04:30.000 Yeah, who are you?

00:04:30.000 What do you do?

00:04:32.000 So I represent the Congressional District for Florida 7, which is pretty much just outside of Orlando, all of Seminole County and South Aleutia area.

00:04:41.000 I live out in the New Smyrna Beach area, so on the Outer Island.

00:04:43.000 But yeah, it's good to be back.

00:04:45.000 It's been a while.

00:04:46.000 Right on, man.

00:04:47.000 Yeah, and the big story is, we Google it, and it's like, Rep.

00:04:50.000 Cory Mills rescues 30 people, and I'm like, we need an updated story on this, because it's been a few months.

00:04:55.000 I mean, certainly that's not the full number, and you actually, it's not the first time you've done this, even with Afghanistan.

00:05:00.000 You helped organize rescue flights to get in and bring people out.

00:05:03.000 Well, and we actually conducted, so in 2021, obviously prior to me being elected, we actually conducted the very first successful overland rescue of Americans that had ever been done.

00:05:12.000 It was a woman and three children from Amarillo, Texas.

00:05:14.000 I mean, these are born and raised Amarillo, Texas natives out of Ronnie Jackson's district out of Texas 13.

00:05:20.000 And, you know, when I saw what was happening, I mean, just the barbarism, the horrific incidents that was occurring with Hamas, the terrorist organization, it's an Iranian backed organization that was just slaughtering Israelis and Others there in the Gaza area, I knew that this administration was going to do absolutely nothing.

00:05:37.000 They had no plan.

00:05:39.000 They had no strategy.

00:05:39.000 They had no actual contingencies.

00:05:42.000 And so by October 10th, I was already on a plane.

00:05:45.000 And by October 11th, I was conducting the first rescue, which was by ground, which was from Tiberias and Haifa, Nazareth.

00:05:54.000 We pulled 32 out the first day.

00:05:56.000 Second day, throughout the West Bank, Jerusalem, south of Jerusalem, towards the Gaza area, we pulled another 45.

00:06:02.000 But in total we ended up getting 96 out through ground rescue 159 out through air rescue and also shout out to the Nazareth Group and Glenn Beck and all those guys who've been doing amazing work who?

00:06:14.000 Was supporting some of the stuff that we were doing we're trying to get charters out But yeah, we ended up getting about 255 people out on the second rescues and then, you know, probably about three dozen or so out in Afghanistan in 2021.

00:06:26.000 So I don't know if my routine is necessarily just serving in Congress or trying to do Joe Biden's job when he screws up everywhere else.

00:06:32.000 Yeah, I guess.

00:06:33.000 But we'll get in all that stuff.

00:06:35.000 So thanks for hanging out.

00:06:36.000 It's gonna be a blast.

00:06:36.000 We've got Hannah-Claire Brimelow, of course.

00:06:38.000 Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow.

00:06:39.000 I'm a writer for SCNR.com.

00:06:41.000 That's Scanner News.

00:06:41.000 It's the best.

00:06:42.000 I'm working on some coverage of the Martinsburg story as we speak right now.

00:06:45.000 I'm excited to get into this.

00:06:46.000 Yes, Ian Crosland.

00:06:47.000 Corey, it's great to see you, man.

00:06:49.000 I can sense the humility just oozing out of you now since you've joined Congress.

00:06:55.000 I can feel it in you, man.

00:06:56.000 Like, what that must mean.

00:06:57.000 Yeah, last time you were here, you weren't in Congress.

00:06:59.000 You were running.

00:07:00.000 I'm pretty sure that was your campaigning.

00:07:02.000 And now it's just like, it's like you've matured in a way, but I can only imagine.

00:07:07.000 what the last year has been like?

00:07:08.000 And I'll tell you, I've been really lucky.

00:07:10.000 Like while I've been in Congress, I got put on some really amazing committees.

00:07:13.000 I mean, I'm on the Armed Services Committee.

00:07:14.000 I'm on the Foreign Affairs Committee.

00:07:16.000 I'm on the Intelligence Special Operations Subcommittee, Military Personnel Subcommittee,

00:07:20.000 Oversight Accountability Subcommittees.

00:07:22.000 I mean, it's been a good time.

00:07:24.000 Like we actually are being effective through the experience and merit that, you know,

00:07:27.000 we kind of built through everything.

00:07:28.000 Unlike where you see most of the time you go in there, it's, you know, who's kissed the ring

00:07:32.000 and, you know, how much money did you donate?

00:07:34.000 And so, you know, there's, Congress is certainly a broken institution,

00:07:37.000 but I think that the 118th Congress, kind of the America first Patriots come in.

00:07:41.000 We're trying to do our best to repair that and get back to constitutionality.

00:07:44.000 Yeah, common sense, man.

00:07:45.000 Like, talk about techno.

00:07:46.000 Well, we'll get into it on the show, because we got Surge on my right over here.

00:07:49.000 What's happening, bro?

00:07:50.000 Yo, yeah, I'm here kind of trying to react to the news we got today.

00:07:53.000 It's just crazy to think that it happened in Martinsburg.

00:07:55.000 Anyways, yeah, Surge.com.

00:07:56.000 Let's get to it.

00:07:57.000 So here's the first story.

00:07:58.000 This is local news for us out of Martinsburg, West Virginia.

00:08:02.000 Officer involved shooting in Martinsburg results in suspect taking his own life.

00:08:06.000 This is YouTuber Hunter Avalon.

00:08:08.000 He's been a guest on this show.

00:08:09.000 He's a political commentator.

00:08:11.000 He was with his girlfriend.

00:08:12.000 Her ex showed up attempting to, it would appear, to kill Hunter Avalon and ended up shooting his ex.

00:08:21.000 And then when police arrived on scene, and this is This was West Virginia State Police, this is, I believe, the Martinsburg City Police, as well as, I think I'm hearing rumors, even Harper's Ferry may have responded, maybe after the fact.

00:08:37.000 Hunter posted the video.

00:08:38.000 You can't see anything.

00:08:40.000 You can hear the gunshots.

00:08:45.000 I don't know exactly what happened.

00:08:46.000 The guy apparently had a shotgun.

00:08:50.000 I'll show you this tweet.

00:08:50.000 This is from Hunter.

00:08:53.000 I wanna say this, I mean, you know, you gotta be a bit in the weeds to know Hunter Avalon.

00:08:58.000 He's a political commentator, but you know, it's not, I'm not trying to be a dick or anything.

00:09:02.000 He's not the biggest political commentator, but he has been on this show before.

00:09:05.000 And we had no idea he lived like two buildings down from us, from our Martinsburg building, where this is where we're building the coffee shop, it's where we're building the skate shop.

00:09:15.000 So this is local news to us, and he tweeted this.

00:09:20.000 I'm still trying to process this, and I'm most likely in shock as I write this, but only a few hours ago, Holly's ex-boyfriend, Conrad, showed up at my apartment building with a shotgun.

00:09:28.000 He shot through my building door, injuring Holly's leg in the process.

00:09:31.000 I recorded the final moments, in which we were hiding on the back porch.

00:09:33.000 You can hear him shoot at police, before ultimately taking his own life, in my own effing apartment hallway.

00:09:39.000 I'm still trying to process this.

00:09:41.000 Holly and I are physically okay, but mentally, this is going to do some serious damage.

00:09:45.000 Holly's been amazing, and she's been incredibly brave and strong throughout this ordeal.

00:09:49.000 He posted, uh, this, he said this was Conrad's final text message with Holly after she'd been injured.

00:09:54.000 She said, please surrender, I'm losing a lot of blood. 0.93

00:09:57.000 The shooter responds, I never meant that, no, goddammit, leave him, please.

00:10:01.000 He said, only if you surrender, and he said, I will, just live your life for yourself. 1.00

00:10:05.000 And then he says, I should have killed the coward. 1.00

00:10:08.000 So when firing through that door, it appears the... This guy went to Hunter's house to kill him, and there's more to this. 1.00

00:10:18.000 I mean, there's a lot of reasons why I just... You know what, man?

00:10:23.000 First and foremost, I'll just say it this way.

00:10:27.000 The reports from the police are that they went to the hospital.

00:10:29.000 It's superficial injuries.

00:10:31.000 Looks like Hunter's girlfriend's gonna be okay, so I'm glad to hear that.

00:10:34.000 I sent him a message, you know, but he should take care of himself, whatever.

00:10:38.000 He's a couple buildings down from us, but this is crazy.

00:10:43.000 And, you know, for us, for me, why I think this is so important, I mean, It's important you guys take security seriously.

00:10:51.000 It's important you guys understand the right to keep and bear arms.

00:10:54.000 That's right.

00:10:55.000 Hunter should not have been hiding on his back porch.

00:11:00.000 I mean, maybe he should have.

00:11:01.000 He's in West Virginia.

00:11:01.000 I don't know.

00:11:02.000 I just gotta say, man, he should have a weapon.

00:11:06.000 I don't know what else to say.

00:11:07.000 I don't know.

00:11:08.000 I mean, I think that we live in a time that we have to understand that not only is there a massive amount of mental illness that's, you know, kind of going around, but we also have to acknowledge that there's really been this kind of devaluation on human life.

00:11:19.000 I mean, you're starting to see this calloused approach toward taking, you know, human lives mean absolutely nothing.

00:11:24.000 And so I think that we live in a day and age, and unfortunately, that we should, and I would encourage people to be able to defend their own homes, to understand, stand your ground, and understand your castle wall, to understand, you know, the ability to try and protect your family, which is ultimately our inalienable right under our Second Amendment, right?

00:11:40.000 And this is why, you know, every argument made by every anti-gun, anti-2A person is going to be like, that man should not have had a gun.

00:11:50.000 Good luck, man. 0.98

00:11:51.000 That's such a ridiculous argument. 1.00

00:11:53.000 Crazy guy is gonna find a weapon. 1.00

00:11:55.000 You can 3D print them.

00:11:57.000 So, I'm not here to cast anything on Hunter.

00:11:57.000 Right?

00:12:00.000 I'm not saying he did anything wrong.

00:12:01.000 I'm just saying, you know, I hope in the future he looks to his personal defense for his home.

00:12:06.000 He's in a constitutional carry state.

00:12:08.000 He can do it.

00:12:09.000 And he should.

00:12:11.000 But I am glad the police were there.

00:12:13.000 And we're able to look, I always give the most kudos ever to our first responders who are just amazing people.

00:12:22.000 I mean, these are the individuals that run towards fire when everyone's running around, you know, running away.

00:12:26.000 These are the people that run towards gunfire when other people are running away.

00:12:28.000 I mean, just the bravery of our men and women and in uniform.

00:12:31.000 I just don't think it can be understated and how much we should appreciate what they do.

00:12:34.000 Dude, you mentioned the devaluement of human life.

00:12:36.000 That's kind of been a trend.

00:12:37.000 And I was just talking to Dr. Drew earlier on my show and interviewed him.

00:12:40.000 It was great talk.

00:12:41.000 We talked about narcissism.

00:12:42.000 It came up and like, I was like, what does that mean?

00:12:44.000 That means I love myself.

00:12:45.000 Cause like inner, so he's like, no, no, no.

00:12:46.000 It means like when you're a kid and it becomes like your, your bonding mechanisms become a threat.

00:12:51.000 So you go inward and you like kind of soothe yourself by ignoring others.

00:12:55.000 And then you start to lose.

00:12:57.000 He explained it way better.

00:12:58.000 He wrote a book on it, but like, I don't know if it's the age, if it's the, If it's the internet, all the video games people are diving into, it's because if it's being kids sat in front of a YouTube for three hours when the mom's in the kitchen just doing whatever, if it's the drugs, like the pharmaceuticals, the kids are like moms on amphetamines that are giving birth to kids that have like hard time, their gut biomes, it's all of it.

00:13:18.000 I think it's all of it.

00:13:18.000 I think it's a culmination of like so many things, not to mention the fact that you have 22, 23 year olds who've never knew America without being at a time of war.

00:13:27.000 I mean... Yeah, what's that about, man?

00:13:30.000 The war weariness?

00:13:31.000 What is that?

00:13:31.000 Like a kid is told like, this is normal, this is what we are, and it's like, but that's horrible!

00:13:35.000 To be, I mean, in my opinion, conquest and colonization of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, like it's disgusting. 0.94

00:13:44.000 I don't, it's just for oil as far as I can tell, or for resources, but like to be told like this is how it is, hell, welcome to the greatest country on earth, we're conquesting all these other countries.

00:13:52.000 the problem is is like we were talking about before the show started I mean

00:13:54.000 you've got this kind of neo-conservative neo-liberal like liberal kind of

00:13:58.000 interventionist mindset where they think that all of our you know warfare is

00:14:02.000 still based in a kinetic realm of gun to gun bomb to bomb bullet to bullet and

00:14:06.000 they completely ignore the fact that the evolution of warfare is now into the

00:14:10.000 non-kinetic kind of information warfare propaganda warfare you know economic

00:14:15.000 resource supply chain and cyber I mean these are the areas that we need to be

00:14:19.000 Look, I'm not an interventionist, but I'm not isolationist, right?

00:14:22.000 We need to be protectionist and understand, though, that there's certain things that have nothing to do with us.

00:14:27.000 You know, I would look at Ukraine as one of the biggest models of that.

00:14:30.000 And so for me, you know, the reasons why we went into Iraq, which lost, you know, almost a million plus innocent lives.

00:14:36.000 No one, you know, I've spent seven years of my life in Iraq.

00:14:39.000 I spent almost three years of my life in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Pakistan, North Somalia, all these areas.

00:14:44.000 One of the things that I've learned is that any government at the end of war can try and claim a victory, but no one wins when it comes to war.

00:14:52.000 You're always going to have certain amounts of collateral damage.

00:14:55.000 You're always going to have certain people who are going to lose their life who shouldn't.

00:14:57.000 You're always going to make sure that you're going to lose someone's brothers and uncles and fathers and husbands and things like this in these wars.

00:15:04.000 We need to stop treating lives as if we're pawns on a chessboard somewhere that we can just basically move to play political football.

00:15:11.000 We have to be smart in how we not only protect our American people, but we protect our treasures and we protect our ability to be able to be strong again.

00:15:17.000 We have to get America First agenda back on the block and we have to stop this interventionist mindset of the 1980s.

00:15:23.000 I watched, I think it was Clint Russell retweeted, this is from a few days ago, some graphic of like veterans suicide, how the deaths of active military and it's like suicide is like 15-18% in 1980 and then it goes up and over the years and now it's at like 45% of active.

00:15:38.000 Does that work?

00:15:39.000 And that's just people that are actually there in the military. 0.67

00:15:39.000 What in the hell? 0.67

00:15:43.000 I also contribute that to a little bit of the wokeness that's basically continued to try and utilize this indoctrinating kind of process where in our military, you know, one of the things that we strived so hard for, myself, Matt Gates, Jim Banks, Ronnie Jackson, so many of the members of our Armed Services Committee, and especially the MilPERS subcommittee, Was to get away from this idea that meritocracy no longer can exist and it's all about the diversity, equity and inclusion, the DEI.

00:16:10.000 You know, what we really need to be focusing on for our military, which is what it used to be focused on, is things like increased lethality, readiness and being properly equipped.

00:16:18.000 You know those are the three things I want to see out of my military and I think that what we're bringing in now is what drag shows and you know transsexual you know gender-affirming surgeries and travel abortion that's being paid for by the federal government things like this that in no way I mean what we should be thinking about is how do we improve the quality of life how do we get military construction MilCon in place that allows the housing availability and affordability to be better for our armed forces how can we actually make sure that instead of just having two days a week for child care for the spouses of Those who serve, we have it all day every day so they can have careers of their own.

00:16:51.000 We should be thinking about improving the quality of life of our armed service members, but also let's start prioritizing our veterans over illegal aliens who are basically invading our nation. 1.00

00:17:01.000 I mean, these are priorities.

00:17:02.000 You think we don't because American culture has shifted into being sort of anti-military?

00:17:06.000 I think that there's sort of a disconnect between the way people used to feel.

00:17:11.000 I mean, this administration has almost become anti-American.

00:17:13.000 Oh, they're 100% anti-American.

00:17:14.000 It's not even American anti-military.

00:17:15.000 I just mean the day-to-day American personality.

00:17:18.000 I mean, you see this reflected in military recruitment.

00:17:21.000 People don't want to join the military.

00:17:22.000 We've got 33,000 recruitment deficit right now.

00:17:25.000 I mean, you're talking three military divisions.

00:17:26.000 Yeah.

00:17:27.000 And meanwhile, one of the amendments that I tried to pass, that I tried to put in at CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, tried to say scored, which is nonsense.

00:17:35.000 I wanted us to basically look at the fact that these vaccination purging is unconstitutional and that we should bring back our military service members. 0.75

00:17:42.000 We should give them the back pay that's necessary.

00:17:44.000 They shouldn't have to pay any bonuses back because at the end of the day they were to serve our government, or I should say serve our nation, not to serve our government's agenda.

00:17:53.000 And so, you know, and meanwhile they were like, no, sorry, this scores.

00:17:56.000 So you can't put it in as an amendment.

00:17:58.000 It's just ridiculous what we're seeing right now.

00:18:01.000 I guess I have to agree to some extent.

00:18:03.000 It is an anti-military, but anti-American agenda.

00:18:06.000 Do you think there's a way to shift culture away from that?

00:18:08.000 I mean, there's always going to be politicians who are sort of anti-military or see, you know, more conservative takes on the military and conservative values.

00:18:17.000 As a threat, but do the day-to-day Americans ultimately want to say, oh, you're returning vet.

00:18:22.000 I don't care about you because that's really what a lot of you said the exact thing in the earlier part of your statement, which is politicians.

00:18:28.000 They're part of the they're actually the biggest part of the problem.

00:18:31.000 We don't need politicians.

00:18:32.000 We need statesman.

00:18:33.000 We need veterans who have actually served in uniform who understand exactly what our warfighters need to be able to move forward.

00:18:38.000 We have to have the necessary resources and assets not being pre-allocated to another country to where they can actually worry about the PTSD and the trauma that the other nation is going through and ignoring our own veterans here at home.

00:18:50.000 We have to just get back to statesmen who understand what the America First approach is and start prioritizing the American citizens.

00:18:58.000 We had Tom Sauer on a couple days ago, and he's like privatized, he's taking it into his own hands.

00:19:02.000 They have a private company, it's Miramar Health, and they're wholly focused on helping veterans rehabilitate themselves through whatever kind of therapy, whether it's psychological, I think they're looking into Psychedelic therapy as well like MDMA there, but it's a lot of it's about communication about and I I don't think the government can handle it I think it needs to be in the private sector like the VA I don't know a lot about it But all I hear complaints about complaints for 20 years people have been complaining about how ineffective it is So I'm I don't know if you did isn't effective and I and you know, I'll even go a step further Yeah, you'll the problem with all of government

00:19:37.000 Is that the metric of success is completely skewed?

00:19:40.000 Their idea by gauging what is the metric of success is the idea of how much did I spend?

00:19:45.000 And they continue to try and say, Oh, well, we spent more this year than we'd ever spent before.

00:19:48.000 Oh, we increased veterans by, you know, 20%.

00:19:51.000 Oh, we did this.

00:19:52.000 What they're not doing is, is gauging about the true metric of how many people did you actually help?

00:19:55.000 What is the outcome in which we're looking at where we're able to say, we went from 21 or 22 veteran suicides today down to 18.

00:20:02.000 What was that cost in order to do that?

00:20:04.000 Because let me tell you, if I could get it down to zero, give me that number.

00:20:08.000 You know, but you also have them where they'll go ahead and say, oh, we just built another VA hospital.

00:20:12.000 Well, yeah, you just spent a billion dollars on this new VA hospital in a metropolitan area that already has nine other hospitals which have the same exact levels of care.

00:20:20.000 Why wouldn't you put that to a rural area where people can actually get treatment and open it up to where all of our veterans can basically utilize the existing, you know, medical treatments and facilities that are actually existing there already?

00:20:31.000 I mean, this is the thing.

00:20:33.000 Veterans don't necessarily need to have like a special hospital.

00:20:37.000 There's hospitals who offer a lot of these same things, but we do need them in the rural communities.

00:20:41.000 We do need to understand how do we treat and how do we give the necessary resources and assets.

00:20:44.000 I mean, the military veteran as a whole is very traditional.

00:20:49.000 You know, we believe in things like being able to, as a man, for example, The idea to be able to protect my family, to be able to provide for my family.

00:20:57.000 And so when we come out and we essentially have no way to supply and keep up with the 40 year high inflation and the cost of living that's out of control and untenable, or we don't have the housing affordability and availability for a soldier any longer.

00:21:09.000 And so they don't feel like a man because they can't protect and provide for their family.

00:21:12.000 So that loses There's their objective, their mission, their focus.

00:21:16.000 And I think that then they start chasing, you know, well, something must be wrong.

00:21:20.000 I'm getting into a depressed state.

00:21:21.000 And here's the other problem that we have to acknowledge.

00:21:23.000 The pharmaceutical companies have continued, just with the doctors, to want to over-prescribe and over-medicate every single person, thinking that's the solution.

00:21:30.000 Well, they benefit when you're sick and they can prescribe you something for all the side effects that they have caused.

00:21:34.000 But they want to keep you sick for as long as possible because that's how they actually make their money.

00:21:37.000 Yeah, they benefit when you're sick.

00:21:38.000 Is that how it is in the VA too?

00:21:40.000 That's exactly how it is.

00:21:41.000 Oh, you have an issue?

00:21:42.000 Here's a script.

00:21:43.000 Oh, that pain's still bothering you and the last pain pills that we didn't give you is

00:21:46.000 enough?

00:21:47.000 Let me increase the dosage.

00:21:48.000 You know, and I'm not saying that we don't have great medical care providers, but what

00:21:51.000 we do have is we've got a conflict of interest when you have people who actually are able

00:21:55.000 to, you know, it's the same thing with, you know, legislators who are able to trade in

00:21:59.000 the stock market, even though they can make legislation that manipulates the stock price.

00:22:02.000 You have doctors who, of course, are going to invest in the pharmaceutical companies of the, you know, things that they prescribe the most, right?

00:22:08.000 Because they understand.

00:22:08.000 So there's just a lot that we have to fix in this country.

00:22:11.000 But the first thing is we have to get back to understanding what does it mean to be on an America first agenda again?

00:22:18.000 Would you recommend joining the military to like an 18 year old today?

00:22:22.000 You know, I would.

00:22:23.000 I mean, look, at the end of the day, we've got one of the strongest, greatest volunteer forces.

00:22:26.000 I was proud to have served in uniform, and I think it's a great honor.

00:22:29.000 I think it's something that if you're born with that servant leadership heart, and a lot of us, you know, we used to joke that we must be wired wrong, right?

00:22:36.000 But the reality is that you're just born with a servant leadership heart.

00:22:39.000 You are or you're not.

00:22:40.000 And the thing that why I ran You know, one of the big things was not just to look out for our military veterans, but to ensure that our military has all the national, you know, the resources, the assets, and that they get back to the priorities that they should be focused on so that men and women can actually serve, not thinking about this woke agenda or this DEI over meritocracy type of thing for, you know, equity over equality.

00:23:01.000 I mean, it's just this idea of us building back our military on the principles and the beliefs of what it originally started from.

00:23:07.000 I want to introduce a super soldier program where people can even be Yo, you want to do experimental gene therapy and be able to run three times faster and not have to breathe?

00:23:15.000 Breathe every eight minutes?

00:23:17.000 You want to see 90 times further?

00:23:18.000 I feel like you're volunteering for it.

00:23:20.000 That's what I'm talking about, dude.

00:23:21.000 I will be the first.

00:23:22.000 But I think so many young people maybe don't have a purpose in the idea that you could become a badass.

00:23:26.000 It's all on you, though, because it may or may not work.

00:23:29.000 It may work, but you can sign up for this.

00:23:31.000 Or we could have the X-Men, I guess, at some point.

00:23:33.000 That's what I'm talking about.

00:23:34.000 It's because it's happening anyway, man.

00:23:35.000 In China, they're doing CRISPR.

00:23:37.000 They are building super soldiers, so why don't we just do it publicly?

00:23:41.000 We don't have to disclose all the results.

00:23:43.000 I honestly just wish that we could even get back to the idea of not having drag shows on our military installations. 0.99

00:23:48.000 So you're light years ahead on that already.

00:23:50.000 I was going to say, I feel like because recruitment standards are so, or like we're not meeting recruitment goals right now, they're more likely to want to lower all of the physical standards rather than start recruiting for potential super soldiers.

00:24:01.000 Well, I mean, look, maybe you can make a super soldier out of anybody.

00:24:03.000 I don't really know how.

00:24:04.000 I always say that, you know, one of the things that that that plagues this nation is that we have a crisis in leadership.

00:24:10.000 And, you know, the issues that we're seeing right now, yes, it does start at the commander in chief, but it also I look at the secretary of defense who I've actually issued impeachment articles against and filed those because of his, you know, handling on dereliction of duty.

00:24:22.000 If you want to on how Afghanistan went in the botched withdrawal, it cost 13 Brave heroes their lives and and I'm blessed that I'll be I'll be with Paula Knauss who's The mother of Ryan Knauss one of the 13 brave soldiers who had died on August 26 I'll be with her December 13th where We'll be going out and section 60 in Arlington to be able to go ahead and visit her son and pay our respects But you know, there has to be accountability again in government secretary what it matters Lloyd Austin Secretary of Defense and did he oversee the surrender?

00:24:51.000 He oversaw a majority of it Let's jump to this story from the New York Post and get into the crux of all of this.

00:24:57.000 This is a story that says Florida Rep Cory Mills flies to Israel to rescue 32 Americans trapped amid fighting.

00:25:03.000 But that was October 12th.

00:25:05.000 Uh, that number is much, much higher.

00:25:07.000 And it's not just that you, uh, flew missions to save people, rescue people in Israel, it's in Afghanistan as well.

00:25:13.000 So, uh, I'd like to start with Afghanistan, if you can talk, talk to us about what happened, how it happened, what, what, what prompted you to actually fly in and start getting some of these people out, and then we can get into, obviously, the Israel stuff.

00:25:13.000 Right.

00:25:25.000 So I get a call and I'd known Ronnie Jackson for quite some time.

00:25:28.000 I mean, this is a guy who's a Rear Admiral who served on the Armed Services Committee, who's a member of Congress.

00:25:35.000 And literally he called me and said, Corey, I've got a problem.

00:25:38.000 He's like, you know, I've tried to reach out to the State Department.

00:25:40.000 I tried to reach out to the Department of Defense.

00:25:43.000 I've tried to see what we could do to try and get some of my constituents who are trapped in Afghanistan, who are being actively hunted right now by the Taliban.

00:25:49.000 And I said, well, who is it?

00:25:51.000 And so he disclosed who it was, and it was a mother and her three children, a 15-year-old and 11-year-old little girl, a 15-year-old boy and a two-year-old little girl.

00:26:01.000 He literally had no idea how to get them out even though here he is a member of Congress and he's calling the right people who would have jurisdiction and approval on this authority and the things that they were telling him was absolutely false.

00:26:12.000 They would tell him oh well she can just call the State Department and they'll direct her and she did this time and time again to no answer or she would text them you know just to give you an idea when when and I told Ronnie I said look I'm gonna go over there I said and I won't come back until I get them and that's one of the things that he's said multiple times and You know, we were attempted to be thwarted in our efforts by the Biden administration multiple times.

00:26:33.000 I mean, even had them scramble an F-16 to do a flyover to try and intimidate us, even though we had approved landing permits on a PPR and we're in an American aircraft with American former special operations guys to save Americans.

00:26:44.000 And it's our own government who's trying to put us at risk.

00:26:47.000 But, you know, after 11 days, we ended up conducting this successful overland rescue, which is the first of its kind.

00:26:54.000 Two and a half weeks later, After Miriam and her children are already in Amarillo, Texas, they're already back in school, she starts receiving text messages from the State Department saying, hey, we're just reaching out to you to see if you're okay and find out where you're at in Afghanistan.

00:27:09.000 They didn't even know that she had been back safely.

00:27:12.000 I mean, this is the inept and fecklessness of this administration.

00:27:16.000 This is the dereliction of duty by Secretary Lloyd Austin, by Anthony Blinken, the open borders under Mayorkas, the weaponization under Garland and Wray.

00:27:26.000 I mean, all of these people need to be held accountable, but we don't do anything to talk about.

00:27:31.000 We're more likely to oust someone from our own party than to go after the people who are actually needing to be impeached.

00:27:39.000 I mean like Bowman should be expelled for the for the fire alarm thing but instead it's George, it's Santos.

00:27:44.000 Who by the way is the first person in history to not be convicted of an actual crime and or committed treason.

00:27:51.000 I mean look it's happened five times before Santos, three people in 1861 which was right after the confederate you know that deemed these individuals to be treasonous and the other two who were convicted felons and now you got a guy who and this is why I voted against this expulsion is that Who are we to play judge, juror, and executioner, first off?

00:28:10.000 Who are we to not allow him due process to be able to approach his accusers in his day of court in front of a jury of his peers?

00:28:17.000 Because what this does, in my opinion, is that I think that he has every right to a potential appeal now, because I think that we have in some way potentially influenced or started to lead the witnesses and the jury in some way just by our actions in Congress, because now what we're saying is, in America, You are actually guilty until proven innocent, not innocent until proven guilty.

00:28:39.000 It's going to prejudice any jury pool because this is national-level politics.

00:28:42.000 Can Congress just expel anybody at any time if they vote on it?

00:28:42.000 That's right.

00:28:45.000 Technically, they can.

00:28:46.000 Okay, so it was Lee.

00:28:46.000 Everything that happened was above board, but it's just a slight... Yeah, but he's not convicted of anything.

00:28:50.000 And it's a weird precedent to set, right?

00:28:51.000 It is.

00:28:52.000 I mean, we just decided that we don't want you here anymore because there's not an actual crime.

00:28:52.000 It is.

00:28:56.000 You should have to run that through the Senate or at least by the American people.

00:29:00.000 And let me be clear.

00:29:01.000 I'm not trying to defend anything that George Santos has done.

00:29:05.000 But what I am defending is, is the rights to due process for every single American.

00:29:09.000 I mean, what kind of precedents does this set?

00:29:12.000 I mean, that's what we have to be thinking about.

00:29:14.000 The House Ethics Committee report and decision was enough for everyone to say, OK, that's good.

00:29:18.000 Well, it wasn't everyone.

00:29:19.000 Not everyone, but enough people to say, OK, we should expel.

00:29:22.000 Unfortunately, but you also had people like a lot of the New Yorkers Who were in difficult positions because since he's also from New York, they felt that they had to take action because they were hearing a lot from their constituents.

00:29:32.000 But also, here's my other thing, who are we in Congress to basically make a decision to expel someone who was elected by 750,000 people in their district?

00:29:40.000 We should allow the constituents to be able to do their jobs and to be able to go ahead and carry out their civic duties.

00:29:44.000 And again, this for me is more about protecting your Sixth Amendment, more about protecting the rule of law, Yeah, it sounds like it's become a little bit too much of a social club of people that think they're elite and they can just, I mean, technically they can still kick each other out, but I do think that it's like, you don't like my guy?

00:30:08.000 Well, he's my guy.

00:30:09.000 Jamal Bowman admits to doing something wrong while a member of Congress.

00:30:13.000 Committing a crime.

00:30:14.000 And actually is charged for that.

00:30:17.000 He gets censured.

00:30:18.000 A guy who does something which was previous in most cases of what his indictments for the grand jury is being accused of in my understanding is prior to coming in.

00:30:28.000 And has not yet been prosecuted for it, but he gets expelled.

00:30:31.000 Is it just legit?

00:30:32.000 We have Bowman on camera.

00:30:34.000 If they were going to expel someone before a conviction, Bowman, I would understand as being reasonable because he's on camera.

00:30:42.000 I don't even justify that.

00:30:43.000 Whether it's on camera or not, we should allow the due process to be there.

00:30:47.000 We can't say that we, again, are being judged during execution or based on our observance.

00:30:52.000 You are not guilty by the observations in which you make.

00:30:54.000 You're guilty by the rendered verdict by either the judgment of a judge, who we appoint for solid reasons, or the jury, which actually finds their peer guilty.

00:31:03.000 I mean, we just have to understand we're a nation which is based on the rule of law.

00:31:07.000 We're a constitutional republic.

00:31:09.000 And we have to not continue to water that down and dilute it just because it's beneficial for us.

00:31:14.000 You brought up the impeachment of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and he was basically largely responsible for the surrender of the American military.

00:31:24.000 Him and Anthony Blinken, the Secretary of State.

00:31:26.000 So what would an impeachment look like?

00:31:27.000 What would be the charges and how would that play out?

00:31:29.000 My charge on him was the dereliction of duty.

00:31:31.000 I mean, the simple fact that he has a role to play and a job to do.

00:31:34.000 You had soldiers who were deployed who had no rules of engagement, no understanding of what their authorization of force was.

00:31:40.000 I mean, there's people who could have actually, and in one case, a guy named Tyler Vargas, Andrews I believe is his name, or Tyler, Andrew Vargas, I always mess this up.

00:31:51.000 But he was badly injured and is an amputee as a result of the explosion.

00:31:56.000 He was the sniper who was in the tower who actually had identified the potential suicide bomber, had called back what he appeared to be the identified Bolo, which is the B on the lookout, had it verified, was asking for a green light to be able to engage, and never received a green light from India's command because they didn't know who actually had the authority to give that.

00:32:16.000 Moments later, the explosion goes off, 13 brave members have lost their lives.

00:32:20.000 These are things where you should have an escalation of force and the rules of engagement that's established prior to them even being deployed.

00:32:26.000 You should have an understanding of what was going on.

00:32:28.000 And so this was completely just botched from the very beginning and the fact that there's no one who's been held accountable.

00:32:35.000 And look, when I think about accountability, I think about it as you lead by example.

00:32:39.000 And so it's for me, I used to call it the concept of windows and mirrors.

00:32:43.000 When something is being done properly, And everything is going successfully.

00:32:47.000 You look through the window at all those outside who are actually delivering on that.

00:32:50.000 But when something goes wrong as a leader, you have to look in the mirror because ultimately it's on you.

00:32:54.000 This seems like a pattern, though.

00:32:55.000 I mean, there are several Republicans, I think Andy Biggs, or is it Biggs or Briggs, from Arizona.

00:33:00.000 He brought dereliction of duty impeachment charges against Mayorkas.

00:33:04.000 Absolutely.

00:33:05.000 For the border, because the border's a mess.

00:33:07.000 I don't think anyone can argue that's not justified.

00:33:08.000 No, Mayorkas should definitely be impeached, but we haven't gotten it yet.

00:33:11.000 I mean, there are lots of members of the Biden administration who I would believe are derelict in duty, but they are still in office.

00:33:20.000 At what point do we get some action?

00:33:21.000 I mean, it must be difficult.

00:33:23.000 This is what frustrates me and obviously, you know, the one thing that I agree with is that we in the 118th Congress brought back through our conference rules the regular order, which means that everything has to go through its committee of jurisdiction and then come out of that and then come to the House floor.

00:33:36.000 But I mean, look, if we can't even at least start the impeachment process, why can't we utilize things like the Homan Act, where we basically take the salary of those individuals and we drop it down to $1 a year?

00:33:47.000 You know these people shouldn't be getting paid when they actually aren't doing the job that they were actually put in place to do and so until they can actually have an impeachment inquiry and then trial and have the depositions in place at a minimum just like if a person in a regular you know I think about this from the regular world if you do something wrong in a job And they're investigating what you did wrong.

00:34:07.000 In many cases, you basically get leave from the job for a certain period of time, but you're not being paid during that time.

00:34:14.000 You haven't lost your job yet.

00:34:15.000 You can also go to jail before you've been convicted.

00:34:16.000 That's exactly right.

00:34:17.000 See, my whole point is that at least with the Homan rule, we could at least drop his salary down to $1 while we continue to investigate.

00:34:23.000 Someone proposes for careers off the air, right?

00:34:25.000 We could suspend Bowman pending a conviction on the thing with the doors, the fire alarm.

00:34:31.000 But will they?

00:34:31.000 Very possible.

00:34:33.000 They won't.

00:34:33.000 That's the problem.

00:34:34.000 I mean, look, you've got someone on camera committing a crime.

00:34:37.000 I think it's a good point.

00:34:38.000 He should be convicted.

00:34:39.000 But at the same time, there's a reasonable step between, okay, someone's been accused of a crime and there's a preponderance of evidence that they may be violent, so we're going to hold them.

00:34:48.000 If they're found to be not guilty, we release them.

00:34:51.000 And we're supposed to have hearings for this.

00:34:53.000 If there is someone who there's no preponderance of evidence he's been accused, well, then you don't even get an indictment.

00:34:57.000 But if you do, then the person is going to be free on bail.

00:34:59.000 That's right.

00:35:01.000 Considering Santos, he's been accused.

00:35:03.000 They say there's evidence.

00:35:04.000 Okay, we're gonna have to prove that.

00:35:06.000 For Bowman, he lied about what he did.

00:35:10.000 The camera proves he lied, and he committed a crime.

00:35:13.000 I would say it's fair to suspend him pending a resolution.

00:35:18.000 This is the Hohman rule. 0.97

00:35:20.000 So how do you enact the Hohman rule?

00:35:22.000 It's essentially a privilege resolution, I believe, that you could put on the floor.

00:35:26.000 Last time that we've actually, well, we've tried it multiple times by a lot of us who are true constitutional conservatives, who believe in accountability of government, and it wouldn't get the votes.

00:35:36.000 Okay, so it's just a one bill, one vote kind of thing?

00:35:39.000 I mean, with some of these things, like, like I mentioned, potentially impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas, do you think there's a point where Democrats would cede, yes, the border is a disaster?

00:35:49.000 Well, I mean, I think that you can see that from New York City Mayor Adams, right?

00:35:52.000 Right.

00:35:52.000 He's even crying about it.

00:35:54.000 It's funny that now the sanctuary cities, oh, come on in, we're inviting you in, oh, come on in, are the ones that are not complaining the most, right?

00:35:59.000 New York was the first to be like, this is actually a problem.

00:36:01.000 I mean, D.C.

00:36:01.000 has said we need help, but they haven't actually.

00:36:04.000 Well, D.C.

00:36:04.000 said they needed help, but only after we had to pass things like the D.C.

00:36:08.000 Crime Bill to stop the soft-on-crime catch-and-release policies of, you know, these woke and these liberal extreme mayors like Muriel Bowser or You know, even Eric Adams or any of the rest, but like my whole point is, is that there's more than enough circumstantial evidence for us to be able to move forward with impeachment articles against if anyone, anyone, it's Secretary Mayorkas because we get the CBP reports.

00:36:30.000 I mean, you're seeing the record high numbers that are coming across.

00:36:33.000 You're seeing an increase in the number who are actually coming across that are on terrorist watch lists.

00:36:37.000 I mean this is the whole thing and this isn't people from South America and that's what people don't understand you know 63 to 64 hundred Afghans I mean 32,000 plus you know Chinese from mainland China you've got people from Yemen you've got people from Saudi Arabia you got I mean there is a dozen plus different countries who are coming through our southern borders and I don't think that we can say that Secretary Mayorkas is doing anything to actually prevent that because in fact He's the same one that went on record to say we don't have open borders.

00:37:03.000 Right.

00:37:04.000 You know, it just baffles me.

00:37:05.000 And the Biden administration will say we're doing the best job ever on the border. 0.59

00:37:08.000 Well, but here's a great thing in the hypocrisy of the Biden administration.

00:37:10.000 They'll tell you that they had to repeal the Remain in Mexico agreement or that they had to remove Title 42, but then they'll come back to you and say, oh, the entire failed Afghan withdrawal, we couldn't do anything about it. 0.55

00:37:20.000 It was already in motion because of the Trump administration.

00:37:22.000 You know, the hypocrisy and the lies that come out of this administration is just something I've never seen in my lifetime. 0.71

00:37:29.000 Yeah, if they call it a failed withdrawal, they should retitle that a surrender because that was a disgusting surrender to the strongest military on earth surrendered to the Taliban.

00:37:40.000 Not to mention the billions of dollars that we left behind in weapons, defense articles, and we put terrorist organizations like the Taliban, the Haqqani Network, and ISIS Khorasan in a better position now than they ever were before.

00:37:50.000 And let's go back.

00:37:51.000 Why did we go into Afghanistan in 2001?

00:37:52.000 It was because we wanted to stop it from being a safe haven or a harbor for terrorism.

00:37:57.000 Meanwhile, fast forward to the Biden administration, where we actually left them After what I would argue still that George W. Bush and even Obama had these failed approaches that we can do nation building, which is not our role.

00:38:08.000 We're not there to build the nation of others.

00:38:10.000 We're there to basically eliminate terrorists who are actually a threat to America and come back home to protect our homelands.

00:38:15.000 But, you know, let's fast forward that to the point that we did the opposite.

00:38:19.000 Of what we said that we were going there to do.

00:38:21.000 We actually emboldened and strengthened and armed and trained and even left enough cash to create the caliph if they want.

00:38:30.000 The opposite of what the intent was.

00:38:31.000 That's why I'm not satisfied with surrender.

00:38:34.000 I think it's going too easy on them.

00:38:35.000 It is.

00:38:36.000 I don't understand how you abandon Bagram without informing the security forces.

00:38:40.000 I think it's treason what they've done.

00:38:41.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:38:43.000 Again, a surrender would be like, okay, let our forces know we're out.

00:38:49.000 Something else is when you abandon them.

00:38:51.000 But we have never pulled our military in our history.

00:38:54.000 We've never pulled our military before we ensured the safety of civilians first.

00:38:58.000 I mean the idea that we're gonna pull our military before we even try and make sure that American citizens are out first to be saved?

00:39:04.000 But why- but the Bagram thing gets me because- It's against doctrine.

00:39:07.000 We could have evacuated through Bagram.

00:39:09.000 Absolutely we could have.

00:39:10.000 Okay, so let's say I've been to Bagram multiple times you could have here's the other big thing that you have to

00:39:15.000 understand We could have simultaneously run two separate airports,

00:39:19.000 You could allow the continued station of the civilian H kaya that was going on and you could have gone ahead and 0.97

00:39:19.000 right? 0.97

00:39:25.000 utilized bagram Which by the way could have housed 40 plus thousand people

00:39:29.000 We could have done the necessary biometrics health scans to look at our sivs and others who actually had served with us

00:39:34.000 for over 20 Plus years risking their lives instead of just abandoning

00:39:37.000 and leaving them behind who are being now methodically killed

00:39:39.000 you know, one by one.

00:39:41.000 But the other thing is that, what did it have?

00:39:43.000 It had an entire military installation to parameter standoff.

00:39:46.000 So what ended up happening, and this is where the Biden administration hasn't been answering

00:39:49.000 for this yet, when they shut down Bagram to hand it over to China, and they went ahead

00:39:54.000 and allowed the Bagram prison, which released over 40,000 terrorists who had actually already

00:39:58.000 been incarcerated there, to be released, yes, which basically plussed up the entire force

00:40:03.000 that was already coming in.

00:40:04.000 Now, what else did you do?

00:40:06.000 When you take a military takeover of a civilian airport, all of those flights, because they 0.95

00:40:12.000 They were telling all the Americans you have to be out by September 11th.

00:40:15.000 He wanted to tout this great victory on this day.

00:40:17.000 But when he shut it down premature to that, all the people who had civilian flights out on Ariana, Cam Air, Emirates, you name it, those airliners got completely canceled.

00:40:26.000 So there was no more calm air that could come in and come out.

00:40:28.000 So they essentially entrapped Americans by shutting down the civilian airport and giving them no safe harbor to be able to get out. 0.58

00:40:37.000 I pulled up the name.

00:40:38.000 It's Tyler Vargas Andrews.

00:40:40.000 Correct.

00:40:40.000 He's the dude.

00:40:41.000 Absolute hero.

00:40:42.000 He was in a tower, you were saying?

00:40:43.000 That's right.

00:40:43.000 And then they were surrounded?

00:40:45.000 They were people coming at them?

00:40:46.000 They had already been told that day of what the bolo was, which is to be on the lookout of the individual, what he'd be wearing, would he be carrying a satchel, you know, these types of things.

00:40:53.000 He, while he was up there in the tower, identified an individual who fit that description, who he believes is the actual bomber, the suicide bomber.

00:41:01.000 He then relayed that information back and someone came to the tower to confirm exactly what he saw.

00:41:07.000 From, I believe it was the SIAPS battalion that was there, and they confirmed what he saw, and then he asked for green light to engage, and no one in his command, or even at higher command, knew who could actually provide that authority, so no one gave him the authority.

00:41:21.000 Moments later, explosion occurs, and we saw what happened.

00:41:24.000 The first thing, he did a show with Sean Ryan.

00:41:27.000 It's spectacular and Tyler's awesome and it's like five and a half hours long and everyone should go watch that.

00:41:31.000 The guy's amazing.

00:41:33.000 So is this like obsessive centralized control authority thing like new?

00:41:37.000 Because I would think you'd have somewhere in the lower levels of command that are like at least equipped to give you an order or to respond to your request for action.

00:41:37.000 Is it normal?

00:41:46.000 Well, you usually, in every scenario I've ever seen, you always have command who can actually issue that authority.

00:41:53.000 And you always have a clear understanding of what your rules of engagement are, what the escalation of force is.

00:41:59.000 And the bottom line is that this was a chaotic, botched withdrawal that endangered American lives.

00:42:07.000 And I can tell you that Secretary Blinken was even given a cable, a diplomatic cable, with 23 members of the diplomatic corps who warned him about this strategy, saying Americans would die.

00:42:20.000 They tried to hide that from our foreign affairs committee until the point that we actually were trying to subpoena,

00:42:25.000 Chairman McCaul was subpoenaing Anthony Blinken for the fact that he wouldn't and refused

00:42:30.000 without the redacted lines on it, which was basically the entire document to show this.

00:42:35.000 But here's what we ended up asking.

00:42:36.000 We asked a woman who had been responsible for filing those types of cables, 0.77

00:42:39.000 and we said, in your entire time, and she was almost done with her career,

00:42:43.000 I think she was 17 plus years, have you ever seen, how many of these cables

00:42:46.000 do you get a year?

00:42:47.000 What they call a descent cable.

00:42:49.000 And she said somewhere between maybe one to a year on average.

00:42:52.000 And we said, okay, great.

00:42:54.000 How many people usually are signatories on these documents?

00:42:58.000 And they said, one, maybe two people.

00:43:00.000 And I said, so it didn't send a red flag when you had 23 people who are part of the diplomatic corps of the State Department who signed this dissent cable warning about this withdrawal prior to it happening?

00:43:11.000 So all the signs were there.

00:43:12.000 All the intel was there.

00:43:13.000 There was intel reports, by the way, that even demonstrated who and when and what was going to happen.

00:43:18.000 They even, I mean, to the point where the days before they would say, okay, these individuals are moving from this city to this city.

00:43:23.000 Next day, they're now in the city.

00:43:25.000 Next day, they're in a planning phase.

00:43:26.000 Next day, they're now done with the plan.

00:43:28.000 Here's how it's going to be carried out.

00:43:29.000 And then boom, the next day it occurred.

00:43:30.000 So Blinken and Austin can't say that they didn't have the details and the information on how to prevent this.

00:43:35.000 They are responsible and there's blood on their hands and there has to be accountability.

00:43:39.000 I don't think it's a strategy.

00:43:41.000 I don't see any reasonable argument for abandoning Bagram.

00:43:46.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:43:47.000 No, it doesn't.

00:43:48.000 The only reason you would do that is to create chaos disorder and intentionally get people killed.

00:43:53.000 Or unless China and others are trying to tell you that you need to go right now because you're a compromised and corrupted administration and you're now leaving, by the way, 1.1 trillion dollars in lithium.

00:44:03.000 Which is sitting in Panjshir.

00:44:04.000 You think there's compromise on Biden or the administration?

00:44:08.000 China says, we're taking the base, we're taking the country, and you're getting the F out. 0.98

00:44:11.000 Who's the first person to recognize the Taliban as an actual form of government?

00:44:15.000 Chinese.

00:44:16.000 China's moving in, they're going for the lithium mines.

00:44:19.000 It could also be... It could be compromise, but could it also be Biden just selling American assets?

00:44:25.000 Think about it for a minute, just put us together.

00:44:27.000 You're now handing over a country, putting Americans at live so that the Chinese can get to 1.1 trillion dollars in 1.00

00:44:32.000 potential lithium.

00:44:33.000 And at the same time, what are you pushing for? You're pushing for an EV system,

00:44:38.000 which is based out of lithium, cobalt, nickel, which is all produced by China to build their economy.

00:44:42.000 These are not, and this is where, you know, being a geopolitical analyst for a long time,

00:44:47.000 you don't look at everything so singularly.

00:44:49.000 You start making the link analysis of, look, this is not a one-off.

00:44:52.000 Look, and, you know, it's not just kind of this coincidence, you know, in police work they call them clues.

00:44:57.000 And so what we have to understand is, is that that's exactly what is going on, is that we are driven towards building China's economy and going to a more China 1, you know, foreign First policy as opposed to an America first policy where we actually look out for our own and that's that's because of the corruption and that's because of what you're seeing being released by Chairman James Comer, Chairman Jim Jordan, Chairman Jason Smith, where they're showing the multitude of layers of corruption and the spider webs of companies and the continuation of this 10% for the big guy and the millions upon millions of dollars that Jim and Haley and Hunter and all of them are getting.

00:45:32.000 Look, this is the most corrupt And most bought and paid for pay-for-play administration that I've ever seen in my lifetime.

00:45:40.000 So what do we do, man? 1.00

00:45:42.000 We impeach his ass. 1.00

00:45:43.000 Joe Biden? 1.00

00:45:44.000 We hold accountability.

00:45:44.000 I'm down!

00:45:46.000 We return the power back to the American people. 0.94

00:45:49.000 We start actually being true constitutionalists who understand that our overspending, which in my- I've talked about this previously when we were on the, you know, going into the show, but You know, we're running into an economic abyss, and we keep acting like we can cut our way to prosperity.

00:46:02.000 You can't.

00:46:03.000 Ask any business owner out there.

00:46:05.000 If you can cut your way to profitability, you can't.

00:46:07.000 Your account receivables have to exceed your account payables.

00:46:10.000 And if they don't, then you're insolvent as a business.

00:46:12.000 The difference is, as a business, when you have to go and get a line of credit, or you have to go to a bank, you have to prove your ability to actually pay it back.

00:46:19.000 What American government does is they utilize the American people as a taxpayer who is the bank, but they don't have to justify how they actually pay it back.

00:46:27.000 They don't have to actually show a business plan on what they're actually doing, and they think they can cut their way to prosperity as opposed to focusing on what they need to, which is proper reform on the nearly 73% of mandatory spending that is going on.

00:46:39.000 Understanding you have to have a cut strategy, which yes, that is part of it to try and make

00:46:43.000 sure that programs and things that we're spending on is no longer doing their purpose or serving

00:46:48.000 their purpose is eliminated, but also an economic growth strategy that allows us to understand

00:46:54.000 how do we get that GDP to national debt inverted ratio back to a point where we can even be

00:47:00.000 stable one, but also where we can back it by tangible assets that allow our dollar and

00:47:05.000 our currency to have confidence across the global market for even the developing nations

00:47:09.000 that are utilizing it.

00:47:10.000 Who's co-sponsoring your impeachment bill?

00:47:13.000 With the Lloyd Austin?

00:47:14.000 Yeah.

00:47:14.000 We had quite a few signatures on there.

00:47:16.000 Yeah, anyone who you weren't expecting to jump on?

00:47:19.000 No, actually, it's exactly the type of America First conservatives that you would imagine.

00:47:23.000 You gave me some crazy numbers before we went live about what our dollar, every dollar the government borrows, it's what, 70?

00:47:29.000 So this continues to change obviously as, you know, every second we get more, but essentially think about it from this perspective, right?

00:47:35.000 When you hear your representative or your senator talk about how they're making the biggest cuts ever to spending, I want to get an understanding of what that means.

00:47:46.000 Every dollar that we borrow Roughly 73 cents of that.

00:47:50.000 We'll call it 70 cents.

00:47:52.000 70 cents of that is spent already just on the mandatory spendings.

00:47:57.000 And then as our debt continues to increase, as the actual interest rates on that debt continues to increase, roughly right now around 11 cents of every single dollar is just servicing our interest payments.

00:48:09.000 And then you look at our defense spending, which I think we can argue, you know, with, with good understanding that we need a strong military.

00:48:16.000 That's 13, 14 cents of every dollar, you know, 860 to 870 billion dollars that we're spending on our military per year, which is needed because we don't even have our, our necessary classes for the Columbus class and things like that for our submarines and others.

00:48:29.000 But that spent just right, which means that your representative, Your senator, the person that's telling you we're making these massive cuts, what they're talking about is we're taking a 20%, a 30% cut.

00:48:38.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:48:39.000 A 20 to 30% cut on the remaining nine cents or so that you can actually touch, which in the scheme of things, those cents that you're cutting on that is not going to get us again.

00:48:50.000 You're not cutting your way to prosperity without having an economic growth strategy, without Decoupling ourselves away from the adversarial nations without getting control of our supply chain, our resources, and rare earth minerals that are necessary for us to support an industrial-based build-out.

00:49:07.000 We're not going to be able to do this based on DC status quo that we're going to spend our way out of this or we're going to be able to cut our way to prosperity.

00:49:14.000 It's a lie.

00:49:15.000 The numbers add up to like 95% of every dollar we borrow is automatically spent.

00:49:20.000 So of that less five, these are rough numbers, of the remaining 5%, if they cut 20% of that, five cents, and it's like a one cent or less.

00:49:29.000 You're still not getting your way to a way of prosperity.

00:49:31.000 And they'll tell people they're cutting 20% of the budget, of the spending, but it's only of the five cents on a dollar.

00:49:37.000 They're cutting 20% of the five cents.

00:49:40.000 That's like less than five tenths of a percent.

00:49:44.000 Like, okay, so that's crazy.

00:49:46.000 Now let's talk about GDP growth.

00:49:48.000 You told me before the show, you believe it's energy.

00:49:49.000 I think it's energy.

00:49:50.000 I think we should transition into a hydrogen-based fuel economy.

00:49:53.000 I'm bullish on this.

00:49:55.000 Coming out of Rice University, they're making hydrogen gas out of recovered carbon trash, hit it with electricity at 7,000 degrees, they flash it, turn it into hydrogen fuel.

00:50:04.000 They're left over with $4.50 of this.

00:50:05.000 So let's jump in there, though.

00:50:07.000 How many oil refineries are in the United States?

00:50:10.000 Corey might know better than I do.

00:50:11.000 We haven't built an oil refinery since like the 1970s.

00:50:14.000 No, but yeah, but how many do we have?

00:50:17.000 I really don't know the exact number on that, but I can tell you that we haven't built a refinery since I believe it was the 70s.

00:50:28.000 But the bottom line is that here's the issue.

00:50:31.000 I don't think that's an either or, and you always hear this from the left and the right.

00:50:34.000 You know, I'm all for the idea of Drill Baby Drill.

00:50:36.000 Look, trust me, I like the idea of continuing to produce fossil fuels, looking at LNG.

00:50:41.000 I like the idea of us basically continuing to look and explore renewables, looking at nuclear, which by the way is the cleanest, safest.

00:50:47.000 Everyone wants to argue Nine Mile Island or Chernobyl or, you know, the issue that happened in the... I can't remember the name of the Japanese reactor that was out there.

00:50:56.000 Fukushima!

00:50:57.000 I got a fact check for you.

00:50:58.000 Yeah.

00:50:58.000 The last refinery is built in February 2022.

00:51:00.000 There are currently 129 operating in the United States.

00:51:04.000 That's a lot more than I actually anticipated.

00:51:05.000 But it does look like it's, you know, maybe one every decade or so, one every eight years.

00:51:12.000 What do they say?

00:51:12.000 It definitely doesn't keep up with our current growth and what our utilization is.

00:51:16.000 I mean, but going back to my point of the renewable reliable argument, it has to be both.

00:51:20.000 We have to be able to look at multiple things, but we have to understand That if we're going to basically go off of this gold standard, which we did, I believe it was around 1971 or 1973, I can't recall, and go to the petrodollar, that dollar has to be backed by some type of a tangible production, and that right there, because to your point on the GDP, we had passed H.R.

00:51:39.000 1, which was a bill that Steve Scalise put onto the floor, which is the Low-Cost Energy Act.

00:51:43.000 Which basically gets us back to a more energy dominant position, but at the same time we passed H.R.

00:51:49.000 21 which would prevent the president from draining down our strategic petroleum reserves that he has actually done at a record level that we've never seen before.

00:51:55.000 So if we go to this and we start actually producing energy and we back our dollar by this in the way that we should, then every single time, especially if we look at energy output, because I agree with you Ian in this, The global currency, which is the whole point, China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have continued to modify their constitution to stay in power forever because they want to do what?

00:52:15.000 They want to eliminate the U.S. 0.71

00:52:16.000 dollar from the global currency.

00:52:17.000 They want to throw us into hyperinflation.

00:52:18.000 They want to utilize the corruption of WHO and WEF who, by the way, I co-sponsored the bill with Chip Roy that would actually stop us from directly or indirectly even funding any of the WHO.

00:52:27.000 I think it's a complete, you know, farce, but my whole thing is is that We have to start basing our valuation, our spending cap on what our energy production is, which also would incentivize every president on the left and the right to produce as much as possible to have the most spending levers.

00:52:42.000 But it would weaken OPEC, who when they try and threaten us and say, we're cutting our production by 100,000 barrels, we go, Oh, great.

00:52:49.000 So the price of oil goes up.

00:52:50.000 We have more money to spend.

00:52:52.000 Great.

00:52:52.000 Thanks for that.

00:52:53.000 So my whole thing is, is you decouple away from the utilization, but also things like USAID, Where we continue to utilize cash diplomacy, where we're sending, for example, $800 million to a country that absolutely hates us, and we think that's going to turn around and they're going to go, you know what, we love you now, America.

00:53:08.000 No, they're going to say, we still hate you, but we're $800 million on taxpayers' money richer.

00:53:13.000 More like divorced dads trying to bribe kids.

00:53:14.000 Correct.

00:53:15.000 And not only that, but think about it, and I don't like to build up anything that another nation's doing that's kind of an adversary of us, but what Russia did with Germany was convince them to get rid of, after 20 years, all their nuclear and coal energy and be completely dependent upon them. 0.60

00:53:29.000 We could actually stop cash diplomacy under USAID, supply low-cost Reliable energy to developing nations, which would also ensure that they continue to stay on side with America.

00:53:40.000 But also, guess what?

00:53:41.000 It's revenue coming into the U.S.

00:53:43.000 It's not us pouring tax money dollars into another nation and continue to send things out.

00:53:47.000 Yeah, the petrodollar needs to be converted to a hydrogen dollar.

00:53:50.000 I know we can do it.

00:53:50.000 And the oil industries, all you execs out there listening, we'll turn your oil into graphene.

00:53:54.000 We're not going to stop drilling.

00:53:55.000 It's going to get even better.

00:53:56.000 Okay, so the reason I asked about how many refineries there were is because, first, before we're going to transition the U.S.

00:54:01.000 economy from oil to hydrogen, you need comparable energy production for which you are able to do it.

00:54:06.000 That's true.

00:54:07.000 Right now, one of the big challenges with electric vehicles, for instance, is charging them.

00:54:11.000 And so, what you hear a lot about is batteries.

00:54:15.000 What's the range on the vehicle?

00:54:16.000 Actually, range is no issue for us.

00:54:19.000 So with the Tesla, you park it, you charge it, you never drive far enough to where we even care about what the charge is, because once you bring it home, it's charging.

00:54:26.000 The issue is, if you want to travel far, you need to be able to refill it very quickly, so you do need good batteries.

00:54:31.000 So adoption is going to come from expansion of technology.

00:54:35.000 Now as for hydrogen fuels and fusion or anything else, someone's going to have to be able to run their car off of hydrogen energy.

00:54:42.000 Which is going to require an EV.

00:54:45.000 We're not even at the point where people can use EVs reliably, because gas, you fill up your car in 30 seconds, you're good to go.

00:54:51.000 And in some ways, safely, right?

00:54:52.000 Because we saw where, like in Florida, for example, we were having floods, and these batteries were essentially... Oh, blowing up!

00:54:57.000 I mean, they were blowing up and endangering people.

00:54:59.000 So we really need to think about also just the safety and reliability.

00:55:03.000 And Ronnie Jackson said this the best.

00:55:05.000 He said, look, it's a simple thing.

00:55:07.000 I'll take reliable over renewable.

00:55:09.000 And again, I think that it has to be both.

00:55:11.000 I think we have to be able to have an understanding and a choice for every single American.

00:55:15.000 Which is why, you know, we just voted down by the way, you know, the Biden administration wanted to force every American by 2032.

00:55:22.000 To go completely to EV.

00:55:23.000 Right.

00:55:23.000 And luckily, we in the House, I don't know what the Senate will do with this, we voted it down because we believe that just like whether it's medical freedom, whether it's school choice, whether it's... We are supposed to be providing freedom, liberty, and protection of the rights of every American people, not telling them you need more government in your life.

00:55:40.000 The issue with the renewables is that they're, as you described, not as reliable.

00:55:45.000 So with chemical energy, with petroleum, the reason why I don't see the US getting off of a petroleum economy is because it is a dense, extremely dense, Chemical storage of energy, which can be utilized whenever.

00:56:00.000 Yeah, it's fuel.

00:56:01.000 There's only three elements that can function as fuel.

00:56:03.000 It's hydrogen, carbon, and plutonium.

00:56:06.000 And so we're using the carbon in the oil, but we can use the hydrogen fuel.

00:56:09.000 It's just transportable.

00:56:10.000 If you can put it in a box and move it around, it becomes a fuel.

00:56:13.000 Like, reducing steam is not fuel.

00:56:15.000 But the issue is with, you know, so there's theoretically hydrogen cell.

00:56:19.000 Yes.

00:56:19.000 You can do hydrogen tanks in cars.

00:56:21.000 And if those could charge the batteries.

00:56:22.000 And so, but you know, you could do hydrogen combustion vehicles, which people have, and they're really cheap to

00:56:27.000 operate, or natural gas cars.

00:56:29.000 And then you need to retrofit every single gas station, and you need to build the refineries.

00:56:34.000 Or you can build engines that are hybrid hydrogen petroleum engines. And so you could use either.

00:56:41.000 I think that's where we're going.

00:56:42.000 At the end of the day, you know what I want?

00:56:43.000 I want people to be able to heat and cool their houses at a fraction of what they're using right now.

00:56:48.000 I want fuel prices for whatever it is that you drive to be affordable for every single individual.

00:56:54.000 And I want us to get away from the idea that we're continuing to stay reliant on adversarial nations.

00:56:59.000 I agree.

00:57:00.000 I'm less concerned with it as much as needing to get there and finding the solutions.

00:57:03.000 I want to jump to the story from Barron's.

00:57:05.000 U.S.

00:57:06.000 military holds exercises in Guyana as border tensions soar.

00:57:11.000 Oh boy!

00:57:12.000 I'm glad the U.S.

00:57:13.000 is down there as Venezuela's building up its military on their eastern front because they're claiming basically half the country of Guyana as their territory.

00:57:21.000 Exxon discovered a bunch of oil.

00:57:21.000 Why?

00:57:23.000 So the US, of course, is down there.

00:57:25.000 Guyana has asked for the US to help prevent a Venezuelan invasion of Guyana.

00:57:31.000 Venezuela, of course, just sees dollar signs.

00:57:33.000 Well, not necessarily dollar signs.

00:57:34.000 They're one of the most resource-wealthy in South America.

00:57:40.000 Venezuela. Now they want to steal more. So I guess the two big issues here are

00:57:40.000 Venezuela.

00:57:43.000 welcome to the issue of you're never gonna get off oil because it is just too

00:57:47.000 valuable. It is relative to hydrogen or nuclear. It's easy to get.

00:57:52.000 It's easy to use. It can be stored in easy containers. It is absolutely

00:57:57.000 And I don't want to get off of it.

00:57:58.000 I just want to build alternate systems that we can use in conjunction with it.

00:58:01.000 Because plastics, I mean, I don't, I mean, maybe we can make better plastics with carbon, but with graphene, you know, you can upscale these things into better materials.

00:58:08.000 But oil is incredible.

00:58:09.000 It is very valuable.

00:58:10.000 Right.

00:58:11.000 But so the subject I want to get into is, you think we're going to get into another war?

00:58:14.000 You think war is spreading out of South America?

00:58:16.000 Look, I would say that weakness invites aggression.

00:58:20.000 And we have to acknowledge that the Biden administration has continued to demonstrate this weakness in the world stage, which is why we are where we are.

00:58:25.000 I think that all of our enemies and our adversarial nations, again, you know, if you go back, I wrote about this years ago about the Russia, China, Iran and North Korea and geopolitical alignment.

00:58:35.000 You know, they're utilizing not just their alignment to try and go ahead and expand out the Belt and Road Initiative or to take the 15 of 16 rare earth mineral mines, but to expose us and drag us into these quagmire wars where we can continue to drain down on what we have as far as defense articles within our own storage capacity and capabilities.

00:58:53.000 They're testing for their own intelligence what our industrial base can actually withstand in regards to production capacity and capability, and whether we could actually stand up to an actual large-scale war.

00:59:07.000 But they're continuing to also drag us into areas, because think about it, Venezuela has partnered in some marriage of convenience with Russia.

00:59:13.000 We were actually starting to focus a lot on the Belt and Road Initiative expansion by looking at certain types of a sanction, or looking at certain types of an internationally recommended transit corridor for supply chain stuff.

00:59:23.000 What China is trying to achieve is this, and it does play into this, and I'll explain this how.

00:59:28.000 They essentially want to take this Belt and Road Initiative, which expands the Eurasian border, takes Africa and Oceania, and that would cut off Western Hemisphere supply chain, whether it's the Red Sea, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Persian Gulf, corner of Africa, while simultaneously utilizing this marriage of convenience with Russia to take Venezuela, with the Chavez of Venezuela, Pedro in Colombia, And then look at economic coercion and countries like Panama and Honduras so they can actually also start taking over the trade tariff taxes and everything on the Panama Canal so they could also pinch us there.

00:59:59.000 But they had to draw us away from what they were doing in that Belt and Road Initiative by actually focusing in our own Western Hemisphere.

01:00:06.000 I mean, look, they're also, in addition to all the things that's going on here, they're also building up the largest joint training spy base in Cuba, which is an impact to me as a Florida resident who is 90 miles off my shore.

01:00:18.000 And so, this issue that we're seeing in Venezuela is nothing more than that continuation of that Belt and Road Initiative, or that geopolitical alignment between China and Russia, where they're trying to draw us in to more of this while they continue to do a resource grab, and to your point earlier, to tie this in a bow.

01:00:33.000 That's because it's not about the U.S.

01:00:35.000 dollar as the global currency, or the rial, or the dinar, or the yen, or the ruble, or whatever.

01:00:41.000 Energy is the global currency.

01:00:44.000 And who has the most wins.

01:00:45.000 Specifically fuel.

01:00:46.000 It's fuel because energy can be produced locally but can't be transported, like nuclear power plants can't transport properly to Afghanistan, whereas fuel can be picked up, lifted, and moved.

01:00:55.000 Get our GDP to national debt ratio, invert it, secure our borders, stop the woke-ism, get our industrial base built out, start thinking about energy dominance.

01:00:55.000 Pretty simple.

01:01:03.000 We have to start just thinking about the priorities of government.

01:01:07.000 Do you think that the U.S.

01:01:08.000 could handle a large-scale war right now?

01:01:10.000 I think that we can handle a large-scale war, but I don't think that America is ready for a large-scale war.

01:01:15.000 What distinction are you making?

01:01:17.000 Well, I look at what our industrial-based capacity and capabilities are, as far as build-outs.

01:01:21.000 I look at the fact that we're already spread so thin and trying to continue this, as I talked at, and I kind of ridiculed, but rightfully so, in my opinion, this neoconservative, neoliberal, 1980s style, you know, of interventionist ideologies, that we have to be involved in every war and we have to actually go and make it from a kinetic perspective.

01:01:41.000 I think that we showed our hand the other day whenever, and I voted against it obviously, but we voted on sending cluster munitions over to Ukraine. 0.59

01:01:49.000 Do you know why we actually were starting to dump our storage of cluster munitions?

01:01:53.000 Because, and this is something that's been banned by over a hundred different nations, because you have a roughly one to five percent, I know it's a wide range, but depending on the producer, one to five percent dud ratio, which means that you have more UXO, which means you're going to have larger civilian casualties at the end of it.

01:02:08.000 And so, We stopped utilizing the clusters, but we did that because our industrial base, with the resources and, you know, the capabilities, couldn't keep up with what was necessary for the HIMARS and ATACMS and the other areas for 155 artillery shells, things like this, and we're starting to get into what we call our tamer requirement, which is our own munition requirements, and starting to drill into that.

01:02:28.000 And so, you know, we're showing, and again, this is the brilliance of what China and others are doing, which is that they're exposing some of the weaknesses by dragging us into wars that they're not paying a dime on, to try and go ahead and look at where our weaknesses are, so that if they do choose to take Taiwan, or they do try to go ahead and bring us into the Western Hemisphere, into Guyana, or two of these things, that we actually, they know what our capability and capacities are. 0.80

01:02:49.000 And so, we have to be better and we also have to understand domestic and foreign policy is intrinsically linked.

01:02:55.000 What we do domestically impacts us internationally and vice versa.

01:02:58.000 And so it's really important for us to try and understand that we have to get our supply chain back.

01:03:03.000 We have to get our resources back.

01:03:04.000 We have to start actually harvesting ourself.

01:03:06.000 I personally am a big fan of the idea of doing deep seabed harvesting.

01:03:10.000 The earth is 70% water and there are more natural resources, not talking about drilling,

01:03:15.000 just talking about deep seabed harvesting, mineral harvesting.

01:03:18.000 There is more at the 10,000, 12,000 meter depth levels than what you could find in these 15 of 16 rare earth mineral mines that China has.

01:03:25.000 And China, by the way, controls 100% of manganese production across the world.

01:03:30.000 Sorry, I'm going to pivot slightly, but were you always a conservative or did your time in the military sort of shift your perspective?

01:03:36.000 I have been a registered Republican my whole life and a constitutionalist my whole life.

01:03:39.000 You know, look, I tell people all the time, the only reason I'm a registered Republican is because we're stuck in this two-party system and that's the one that essentially is the closest to my conservative values, right?

01:03:49.000 It's not 100% aligned.

01:03:50.000 I think that we've gotten away from the constitutionality.

01:03:52.000 Do you have to be registered with a party to vote in a primary in Florida?

01:03:56.000 Because I grew up in Connecticut and you did, so I registered as a Republican.

01:03:58.000 A lot of NPAs, they are excluded from primaries, but my reasoning was is that, you know, there was times when we actually had great Republican members.

01:04:07.000 You know, we still have some today, not to say that we don't, but I also think that We're seeing a mass exodus, by the way, of members from Congress.

01:04:17.000 It's weird.

01:04:19.000 I think it's a good thing, and I'll tell you why.

01:04:20.000 It doesn't sound good because it doesn't have the numbers that we need, but we're ushering in a new generation of conservatives, and we have evolved back to the ways of being a true constitutionalist, being a fiscal conservative.

01:04:31.000 Understanding that we represent the American people.

01:04:33.000 Being a statesman, not a politician.

01:04:35.000 Look, I've been called almost everything in the world.

01:04:37.000 The most derogatory term that you can call me is a politician.

01:04:39.000 So, you know, my whole thing is I just want to get back to we the people.

01:04:43.000 And I think the only way you do that is through limited government and an understanding of what actually is the America First agenda.

01:04:48.000 And so this is where President Trump, and I've endorsed him from a long time ago, I believe he's exactly what we need in the nation right now to get us back on track to make those bold course corrections.

01:04:57.000 Yeah, you said deep sea resource harvesting?

01:05:00.000 How does that work?

01:05:01.000 Is that like with drones?

01:05:02.000 You can do it with drones.

01:05:03.000 And here's the great part.

01:05:04.000 I still think that we should be utilizing the quantum space where, you know, for example, do you remember when Reagan had bankrupted the Soviet Union with the space race?

01:05:11.000 No, I didn't know he did that.

01:05:12.000 Yeah.

01:05:13.000 So we should be also thinking about the idea of how can we actually get China involved in a quantum race Whereby they also, because their economy is worse than ours, it's just that the reason that people still prop up their currency is because they don't allow their books to be audited.

01:05:27.000 They lie about what they actually spend and what they actually have.

01:05:29.000 And so, we could try and corrupt and bankrupt them through a quantum race whereby, you know, being the first to have AI self-healing autonomous drones utilizing like quantum linkage, you know, would be something that we were trying to advance in.

01:05:45.000 You know, again, the idea is that if you could get something in a swarm drone technology through quantum linkage that

01:05:51.000 Essentially is beneath their satellites, but above their GSM tower providers

01:05:55.000 You could kind of leave someone blind deaf and dumb on the battlefield great to communicate through so, you know 0.98

01:06:00.000 The idea is that I think that there's ways for us to start thinking about it. And this this is why I argue again

01:06:03.000 it's not just looking at kinetic warfare, but it's thinking about the ideas of

01:06:07.000 economic resource supply chain cyber and quantum races That is the actual way not to include, or not to miss out the fact that it's also the information and propaganda and information campaigns that's going on.

01:06:22.000 What makes me nervous with artificial intelligence, autonomous drones with weapons as if they get hacked.

01:06:28.000 I mean, obviously that's the threat, and I'm sure China's going through the same thing right now, but the thing is, I guess, whoever builds it first, and if you've got quantum encryption, you know, the quantum encryption race also is insane, because whoever gets that can crack open all the bank records of everyone in the country and release them all the next day.

01:06:42.000 Well, and the speed and the capacity of quantum data computing is just...

01:06:46.000 But I agree with you, we do need that race, because it's dangerous to have autonomous artificial intelligent drones with lasers, but that's where it's headed.

01:06:53.000 So we need to win the race.

01:06:55.000 Yeah, that quantum entanglement that everyone's trying to rush towards.

01:06:59.000 I wanna ask you if you expected Kevin McCarthy to resign.

01:07:02.000 I actually didn't.

01:07:03.000 I didn't know it was gonna take him this long.

01:07:04.000 Yeah?

01:07:05.000 So you were like- Well, he's saying end of the month.

01:07:07.000 No, no, what I'm wondering is like, did you guys have a poll going and you were like- Well, we- They did the squares.

01:07:13.000 Yeah, we did the squares.

01:07:13.000 We weren't doing calendar bingo, but I can tell you that, yeah, I assume- Because you're not allowed to, it's against the rules or because- No, no, just because I, well, we had other things to do.

01:07:23.000 When it was announced, was the pizza party held for lunch or dinner?

01:07:31.000 I think instead of a pizza party, everyone was probably, there's probably quite a few offices that was toasting and cheering.

01:07:36.000 I don't think anybody, honestly, I don't, nobody cared.

01:07:38.000 Like the news broke and we kind of just shrugged and ignored it.

01:07:40.000 But then again, you have people who are still in office right now who are just a, we still want him as speaker.

01:07:46.000 We're not willing to give up.

01:07:47.000 We're not, I mean, so.

01:07:49.000 Later, it's too bad.

01:07:50.000 And McHenry announced the day before and they're supposed to be sort of allies, right?

01:07:53.000 So it seems like there is an exit, like an exit.

01:07:55.000 I like Patrick.

01:07:56.000 You know, Patrick McHenry, he was always getting ready.

01:07:58.000 I mean, he's at the end of his ability for chairmanship and the financial services anyway, but a really smart guy.

01:08:04.000 I mean, truly, truly a smart guy.

01:08:05.000 I mean, he still has another year to go.

01:08:07.000 He doesn't leave.

01:08:08.000 Right.

01:08:08.000 No, he's not going to just try and abandon the seat.

01:08:11.000 You know, I'll tell you, though, and they can think what they want, but I thought the tweet that broke the cycle for me a few days ago was by Matt Gaetz when he tweeted out McLevin.

01:08:23.000 Yeah, it was like a little tagline.

01:08:24.000 You saw the community note on his tweet?

01:08:28.000 I did not.

01:08:28.000 Where he was like, I will never quit, and then his community note said, he just quit.

01:08:32.000 Oh, that's right.

01:08:32.000 The community note on his tweet saying he wouldn't.

01:08:34.000 Was he disliked?

01:08:35.000 I mean, this is all anecdotal, I don't know if you can really answer for anyone else.

01:08:38.000 Well, he was pointing out a lot of people didn't like him, so I mean... Did or didn't?

01:08:40.000 I mean, look, everybody's a really nice guy, like cool and personable in person, but just wasn't getting the job done.

01:08:46.000 No, no, he was getting the job done.

01:08:48.000 For the other people.

01:08:49.000 For the corporations and for the lobbyists.

01:08:51.000 Well, you know, at the end of the day, I think that if we could have actually achieved what we had originally agreed upon in the first conference rule agreements, you know, when we came out where we are going to do regular order, we are going to have certain priorities of, you know, getting things done.

01:09:07.000 For me, what really just kind of broke confidence and capabilities was, When we had the debt ceiling debate, you know, I was all for the idea once we had gotten permit reform in place, and the REINS Act would stop over-regulation of the private sector, and we had a very fixed number at 1.471 of spending cap, which would have been a very good spending level because that would have been pre-COVID, pre-emergency 2019 spending levels.

01:09:33.000 I understood the intent of that because we were going to try and do a policy rider with H.R.

01:09:37.000 2 to also secure our borders.

01:09:39.000 When we approved that and we got that passed, when it went to the Senate and what came back was that absolute just complete acquiesce with the physical, what they call physical responsibility act, which is physical irresponsibility act.

01:09:54.000 That basically took the 20 plus permit reforms down to four.

01:09:58.000 That stripped out Kat Cammack's REINS Act, which would have stopped because I'm one of those odd individuals who believe that the private sector should be driving policy more so than policy driving the private sector.

01:10:07.000 But also the fact is, is that it's not as if we have a lack of legislation.

01:10:11.000 We have a lack of the ability and the willingness to enforce existing legislation.

01:10:16.000 But every single member of Congress wants their name on a piece of legislation.

01:10:20.000 Everyone wants to try and play political football instead of going back and looking at certain bills that no longer serve their purposes and looking at reforms as opposed to just continuations of these vague and ambiguous bills that get passed that won't serve its overarching purpose or has no sunset clause in it where we would actually have to be forced to reevaluate it.

01:10:42.000 And so I could go on and on and on.

01:10:44.000 Look, this is my first full year in January that I've been in Congress, but I can tell you that it was a lot more of a broken institution than I even understood when I was running for Congress.

01:10:54.000 And I think that we have taken this entire time, many of us who are in there who are true constitutionalists, to try and bring back what our Constitution and what our actual Congress is supposed to be doing.

01:11:05.000 And an old saying that I've heard recently, which I love, which is that, you know, change in the beginning, it's very hard.

01:11:12.000 In the middle, it's very messy.

01:11:15.000 But in the end, it's beautiful.

01:11:17.000 And we have to understand that we're in that process.

01:11:18.000 I want to jump to a very weird story.

01:11:21.000 I think it's important.

01:11:22.000 It's from The Economist.

01:11:24.000 1 in 5 young Americans think the Holocaust is a myth.

01:11:27.000 Our new poll makes alarming reading.

01:11:30.000 So they released this poll and you can see, 18 to 29 year olds, 20% believe the Holocaust is a myth.

01:11:37.000 30 to 44, it's just a little bit less than 10.

01:11:39.000 45 to 46, floating around 1.

01:11:41.000 65 plus, almost 0.

01:11:43.000 The Holocaust has been exaggerated.

01:11:45.000 Same stats, basically.

01:11:47.000 Slightly more 18 to 29 year olds, just over 21, maybe around 22 or 23 percent.

01:11:52.000 And then about the same numbers for the other demographics.

01:11:54.000 I find this fascinating, um, in light of what we just saw with the universities.

01:11:59.000 So, this all, this all makes sense.

01:12:01.000 I love, by the way, that Elise Stefanik absolutely just eviscerated. 0.98

01:12:05.000 Well, so this is a tweet from her.

01:12:08.000 She says, I was proud to co-lead the 2020 bipartisan Never Again Education Act to provide K-12 federal grant funding for Holocaust education and have been co-leading the bipartisan reauthorization this year, but these numbers from The Economist are absolutely appalling, chilling, and unacceptable.

01:12:21.000 I'm not here to tell you what your opinions should be on any of this stuff, but my point is this.

01:12:27.000 The universities ban pronouns.

01:12:30.000 They ban misgendering.

01:12:32.000 They say fatphobia creates an unsafe environment.

01:12:35.000 If you state facts that are offensive to the individuals, they will come after you.

01:12:39.000 This is what we saw the Free Press, Barry Weiss' organization, put out this video.

01:12:43.000 And then they defended and said, if you call for the genocide of Jews, well, now we got to talk about the Constitution.

01:12:50.000 You can see where their views align, and you can understand then why you're also... You're seeing these two things play a role.

01:12:56.000 Why are young people so likely to believe the Holocaust is either a myth or exaggerated?

01:13:02.000 Because these professors.

01:13:03.000 Why are these professors willing to defend, under the guise of constitutionalism, the right of students to organize protests calling for the genocide of Jewish people?

01:13:13.000 Because they hold these views themselves.

01:13:16.000 They will ban speech that offends their power, and then run and cry and hide behind the Constitution to defend the speech they like.

01:13:24.000 The bigger picture here is universities, social media, are subverting the young people in this country to make them oppose the worldview of the United States, our own histories, and thus... I mean, this... What you gotta understand about this data right here, It doesn't change. Yeah, but 18 to 29 year olds in 10 years

01:13:45.000 will just be in the 30 to 44 year bracket. Right. And so your 65 year olds drop off and the bracket

01:13:52.000 just continues down. So what we need is making sure we win this culture war. Yes. To shift

01:13:59.000 things back in the direction of pro-America, believing history, things like that.

01:14:04.000 Well, and again, I've been arguing that one of our greatest threats as well is that culture, social, and religious warfare that we're seeing here at home.

01:14:11.000 And that really starts with the indoctrination that's going on in our schools.

01:14:13.000 I mean, it's also, as I was speaking yesterday at one of the gatherings, I explained the fact that You know, it's intentional that we've been removing civics from our schools because we don't want the younger generation to actually understand what their civic duties are, how to hold government accountable.

01:14:31.000 And so all of this, in my opinion, is just this indoctrinated theory of how they're actually doing things to try and weaken the American values and essentially American exceptionalism and what we actually stand for as a nation.

01:14:42.000 Who's doing it?

01:14:43.000 I mean, these professors, these universities, these large donors, the George Soros of the world, I mean, this is all part of it.

01:14:51.000 I mean, your huge endowments and who those actual alumni who are donating into that are actually, I mean, they would rather focus in on the things like ESG, CRT, and DEI, and meanwhile strip out one thing, which is GOD.

01:15:03.000 And so that's what we have to start thinking about.

01:15:05.000 Well said!

01:15:06.000 I think that some of these 18 to 29 year olds might be trolling.

01:15:09.000 I don't know how many of them were actually pulled, but it sounds like something an 18 to 29 year old might do is troll the internet and be like, yeah, I think it was fake.

01:15:16.000 But like, okay, it is important to see World War II from the German perspective for sure.

01:15:21.000 I was taught purely American perspective growing up.

01:15:21.000 It is.

01:15:24.000 It's nice to see both sides, but I think it's, I don't, I cannot dispute that these people were massacred, that the Jews were rounded up on trains and sent to like concentration camps and starved to death.

01:15:34.000 Do you think it speaks to Gen Z's cynicism that they just don't really believe in anything anymore, including history, in any way it was presented to them?

01:15:40.000 And the way Nick Fuentes just has fun with it.

01:15:42.000 He's like, yeah, whatever, he just says it because it gets a troll out of people.

01:15:46.000 It's not just that, it's when you have the Women's March, the organizers of the Women's March, Tablet Magazine released a story where they're espousing Insane conspiracy theories about Jewish people.

01:15:59.000 There's a meme, a joke, about to figure out which political faction you are, simply insert whichever group you hate into the following sentences, and then it's like, blank, are responsible for all the world wars, blank, control the corporations, blank, do X. And it's just like, you can choose the 1%, white privilege, Jewish people, the Chinese, the Russians, and then you figure out which... Oppigenerians. 0.91

01:16:18.000 Yeah, it's basically just... Just kidding. 0.68

01:16:20.000 Who do you hate the most?

01:16:21.000 And you found, you know...

01:16:22.000 So what's happening is, you have, in universities, these professors, we've seen this, that woman from UPenn, doing the Kubrick stare, you know what that is?

01:16:32.000 It's where you tilt your head down and look up and smirk.

01:16:36.000 While she's being asked, is it against the rules to call for the genocide of Jews, she does the Kubrick stare and smiles and goes, in certain contexts.

01:16:45.000 It's like, this is a person, these are universities, that have said, you better not use the wrong pronoun, or else.

01:16:51.000 Well, but it's interesting that you, as you pointed out earlier, and correctly so, you're talking about how it's, you know, we don't want our students to feel, you know, shamed.

01:17:00.000 We don't want our students to feel at risk.

01:17:03.000 But what about all of the Jewish students right now who are actually saying, I don't feel safe on my campus anymore.

01:17:08.000 I don't feel safe on my universities.

01:17:09.000 I have threats against me.

01:17:10.000 And we now have people who are actually not just being, you know, investigated, but have actually been arrested for making threats towards other Jewish students.

01:17:19.000 I mean, what about their protection?

01:17:21.000 What about their voice?

01:17:22.000 What about their rights?

01:17:23.000 And I'll stress, I always give my free speech position as students should be allowed to protest as long as they're not harassing someone.

01:17:31.000 So they're hiding behind the Constitution in a way that free speech advocates would agree with, but the rest of their positions... But my point is that their free speech is only working in one direction, and that's the issue that I have with universities.

01:17:40.000 They want to say that it's okay for you to Do one thing but then if someone says something that's against your political view then it's not okay.

01:17:47.000 Which exposes the hypocrisy.

01:17:49.000 Correct.

01:17:51.000 The point I want to say right now, just to get it across, leftism is overlapping with Nazism to the greatest degree of any political ideology that exists.

01:18:00.000 Not fascism.

01:18:01.000 Nazism. 0.57

01:18:02.000 Explicitly.

01:18:03.000 Fascism, you can make an argument about what were they actually speaking to as a political ideology. 0.98

01:18:09.000 Nazism was like, yes, plus they wanted to kill Jewish people.

01:18:12.000 So when you add this into it, and you've got professors that are effectively, it was the late David Graeber, He hated this, but they called him the anarchist anthropologist.

01:18:22.000 He said that elements of the left have adopted the fascistic moral framework of there is no truth but power.

01:18:31.000 It's like, I agree with you there, David, and when you add in the fact that they hate Jews and don't believe in the Holocaust and want to defend the right to call for their genocide, I think now it's Nazism. 0.75

01:18:44.000 One of the things that set the Nazis aside as a fascist organization was their ethnocentrism.

01:18:48.000 They were obsessed with white supremacy.

01:18:50.000 So, like, seeing people talk poorly about a race in any way sets my alarm bells off.

01:18:55.000 And so, which political faction in this country wants racial segregation again?

01:18:58.000 That's what I'm concerned with.

01:18:59.000 If any of them want any form of it, it becomes very Very, very dangerous.

01:19:03.000 Let's go back in time.

01:19:03.000 California was trying to amend their constitution to allow for segregation based on race in public contracting and education.

01:19:11.000 This was back in, like, 2018.

01:19:13.000 They lost.

01:19:14.000 I was talking to a friend of mine who's a liberal, lefty, prominent Hollywood person, and, you know, they posted a comment in support of it.

01:19:23.000 I had posted a comment saying, like, this is shockingly offensive to someone who comes from a mixed-race background that you would allow them to tell this against me.

01:19:29.000 So she calls me and she's like, what do you mean?

01:19:31.000 That's not, no, we're trying, what they wanted was affirmative action.

01:19:35.000 We want universities to be able to help people who are underprivileged.

01:19:38.000 And I was like, how many, what's the population demographics of California?

01:19:44.000 And it's like, oh, it's like 70-something percent white.

01:19:47.000 And I was like, so your argument is that white people are privileged, are racist, inherently racist, use the systems of power for their benefit, and now you're arguing that white people should be allowed, the majority should be allowed to discriminate against anyone based on race in public contracting education, and that fixes the problem? 0.89

01:20:06.000 It's such a hypocrisy, I mean, the way they handle themselves. 0.87

01:20:09.000 It's publicly hypocrisy, but when you understand what they want to do, you understand it's not hypocritical at all.

01:20:15.000 It's exactly what they want.

01:20:16.000 They want racial segregation.

01:20:18.000 They want ethnocentrism, or identitarianism is probably a better way to put it. 0.94

01:20:22.000 I think ethnocentrism is probably a fine way to put it, too.

01:20:24.000 They want race-based law. 0.98

01:20:26.000 And when you add in the fact they hate Jews, they're Nazis. 0.96

01:20:30.000 The Nazis specifically were like Aryans first. 0.95

01:20:32.000 You know, they were obsessed with propelling one race—species, I almost said.

01:20:37.000 Race is such a silly term anyway, it's not even a scientific term. 0.89

01:20:39.000 But then the Jews and the Gypsies got the brunt of the hate, but it was everybody. 0.97

01:20:44.000 If they weren't Aryan, they were second class or less. 1.00

01:20:47.000 And so it's either you're going to say this race is the best, or We have to kneecap that race. 1.00

01:20:53.000 Either one leads to that totalitarian Nazism crap. 0.99

01:20:58.000 So I'm all about equality of opportunity, man. 0.97

01:21:00.000 I understand some people's ancestors didn't have a lot of nutrition, maybe because they were born from slave camps.

01:21:05.000 Like 1860s, all these slaves let out of the South happened to be from one area of the world with a certain type of genetics.

01:21:11.000 And so their kids don't have good education because they didn't have good education, they didn't have good I mean, I think that there needs to be change at home on the family level, right?

01:21:19.000 aren't getting what the nutrition they need to really have brilliance.

01:21:23.000 That's real.

01:21:24.000 We got to address that too.

01:21:25.000 But it's like in a free society where it's kind of up to you to make the best of it.

01:21:29.000 And like you got to trust.

01:21:32.000 Hopefully you have good parents.

01:21:34.000 You can't like legislate the solution.

01:21:35.000 You can't throw money at it.

01:21:36.000 Yeah, I do.

01:21:37.000 I mean, I think that there needs to be change at home on the family level.

01:21:40.000 Right.

01:21:41.000 All of these things we could say this is an issue.

01:21:42.000 This is a problem.

01:21:43.000 But ultimately, unless you have strong families, nothing else matters.

01:21:47.000 And we see this replicated throughout American society, right?

01:21:49.000 We are less engaged with community organizations, we attend church less regularly, we are stripped away of all the things that used to give us strong tenets of culture, and again, drive people back to their families.

01:22:00.000 And that is ultimately something that needs more than a legislative change.

01:22:05.000 It needs a psychological change in the homes of every American.

01:22:07.000 Well, and again, you know, thinking of someone who, you know, for example, if you look at

01:22:10.000 my background, you know, my mom and dad both had drug and substance abuse issues and were

01:22:15.000 in and out of prison pretty much my entire life.

01:22:17.000 My dad did almost 30 years in prison.

01:22:19.000 My mom did almost seven and a half years in prison. 1.00

01:22:21.000 And I've kind of bounced house to house until I was finally adopted and taken in by my grandparents

01:22:25.000 who kind of, and again, just a regular blue collar family.

01:22:27.000 You know, my grandfather was a welder.

01:22:29.000 My grandmother was a stay at home mom who would do hair on the weekends. 1.00

01:22:32.000 You know, she hadn't taken her classes through cosmetology school, so she'd do hair on the 1.00

01:22:36.000 weekends after church and things like this.

01:22:38.000 You know, your socioeconomic status doesn't define who you are.

01:22:42.000 I mean, that's the whole point of the greatness of America, if you will.

01:22:47.000 I think that's one of the things we're trying to water down and dilute.

01:22:49.000 And I think a lot of people also have this issue of self-victimization, where they just basically say, well, I can't do this because of my upbringing.

01:22:55.000 Well, you know, I wasn't born into money.

01:22:57.000 I mean, we were thriving right above the poverty line.

01:23:00.000 I mean, I can remember when my grandfather had a quadruple bypass.

01:23:05.000 You know, and he couldn't work any longer and he was disqualified even though he'd had five heart attacks from receiving any type of disability benefits.

01:23:13.000 I mean, we lived for an entire year on around $6,800.

01:23:15.000 You know, I mean, there was a lot of rice, tomato gravy, cornbread and, you know, which now I absolutely crave when I go back home, you know, but the whole point is, is that, you know, there's this self-victimization that also is going on in our country that we have to break and understand that, you know, we are a nation that believes in equal opportunity, not equal outcome.

01:23:34.000 And that's the difference in my opinion between equity and equality and the difference between

01:23:37.000 what the left and the right is trying to bring to the table.

01:23:39.000 That's why I asked earlier about Gen Z being so cynical, right? I mean, Gen Z, especially 1.00

01:23:44.000 teenage girls, report high levels of hopelessness. There is a change in this generation that 0.99

01:23:49.000 I think is really profound, the fact that they just do not believe in anything anymore

01:23:53.000 and they are expecting the worst always.

01:23:56.000 I think there is a culture, especially among progressives, that believe they are victims and that the system should change for them.

01:24:02.000 But generally, on either side of the aisle or on either side of the issue, there is just sort of this sadness with the youngest generation.

01:24:09.000 But I believe, I don't know if it was Ian or if it was Tim who had made this statement, though, but how much of that is also just trolling, you know, with his yin-zirs, you know? 0.98

01:24:16.000 I'm referencing a study that the federal government put out with a teenage girls report, high levels of hopelessness and depression.

01:24:16.000 I don't know.

01:24:21.000 So it's more than just one randomly trolling one poll.

01:24:25.000 It's definitely different.

01:24:26.000 And I think that's why you need more people like you out there saying, this is how I grew up and this is what I did.

01:24:31.000 Because I think there is just this... It's the same thing with like Byron Donalds.

01:24:33.000 I mean, Byron Donalds was raised by a single mother and You know, New York, and they didn't have the best of things.

01:24:38.000 Right.

01:24:38.000 Well, and all of these kids are online where the algorithm feeds them more victimhood or more depression, right?

01:24:43.000 As soon as you start reading sad stories, it'll feed you more sad stories.

01:24:45.000 As opposed to, I'm not going to allow there to be a glass ceiling.

01:24:48.000 I'm going to go ahead and break through that, and I'm going to continue to go ahead and define myself by what I'm willing to do.

01:24:53.000 You know, creating a work ethic, understanding, you know, what we need to be doing to try and achieve.

01:24:58.000 But also, you know, I used to, people would say, you know, well, When my father got out of prison, you know, years, years later, I think I was 26 at the time, and he was making an apology, and he had said, you know, I'm sorry I couldn't have raised you to show you, like, what it was, or what the right thing was to be a father, things like that.

01:25:13.000 And I said, no, you did.

01:25:14.000 And he said, well, how is that?

01:25:15.000 And I said, By doing the opposite.

01:25:16.000 You showed me exactly what I don't want to be when I grow up.

01:25:19.000 You showed me exactly what I want to do opposite when I have kids.

01:25:22.000 And so again, we can break that cycle.

01:25:24.000 We don't have to continue to try and self-victimize.

01:25:26.000 We can actually go ahead and say, you know what?

01:25:27.000 I'm not going to continue to perpetuate this.

01:25:30.000 I'm not going to continue to live this way and self-victimize.

01:25:32.000 I'm going to go ahead and succeed because I'm going to build a legacy for my kid and future generations.

01:25:36.000 And I think that when you carry that over, you know, whether it was my time in uniform, whether it was serving in the government, whether it was building businesses and being a job creator, or whether it's being a father, which is the greatest role in the world.

01:25:47.000 I think that it's something that we always have the ability to do what we want.

01:25:51.000 That's what's great about America.

01:25:52.000 Did you go through a phase when you were young where it felt hopeless and you were like how life was so like dealt you a raw deal?

01:25:59.000 I mean look there's that phase when you're like this young 10 year old.

01:26:02.000 I can remember one of the one of the things that was difficult for me And it was kind of a tough story.

01:26:06.000 When I was 10 years old I used to have this little suitcase and I remember it was this baby blue suitcase which had a little boy with kind of a knapsack and a dog and it said going to grandma's and it was you know because I was raised by my grandparents and I heard that my mom was gonna come pick me up and I hadn't seen her for a while and as I get in the car with my mom I can remember like we were driving and all sudden she like didn't want to alarm me but she was kind of like first time I understood oh by the way you know I'm remarried and have another child you know a daughter And so you get to this, well, wait a second, you know, here I am 10 years old.

01:26:38.000 It's like, well, why couldn't you have raised me if you can also, if you can raise this other child?

01:26:42.000 And so, yeah, you get these areas and these times, but you also realize as you mature and you grow up that all of the things that happen, make you who you are, the good, the bad.

01:26:51.000 Whatever happened in the middle I mean that that transitory time when you're coming from your adolescence And you're going through puberty you're going into manhood, and you're understanding what that is, but also I had I was very blessed I had great role models.

01:27:02.000 You know my grandfather is the greatest man I've ever met and if I could ever be half of what my grandfather is I'd be the greatest man And so, you know, he understood work ethic and he worked as hard.

01:27:12.000 He understood the old way of living.

01:27:14.000 He understood, you know, we ate at the dinner table until I was 15 years old, you know?

01:27:19.000 And then when he was at work working extra shifts, you know, it was one of those ordeals where my grandmother and I would like sneak off into the living room to watch TV with our TV trays, you know what I mean?

01:27:29.000 But, but that was the way old America was. 0.51

01:27:31.000 That was the way, you know, and, and no matter how advanced we become, no matter how much things change and we evolve, there's certain parts of our American values and what makes us Americans that we need to hold on and we need to protect and we need to preserve for future generations.

01:27:47.000 And so that's really, you know, part of, in addition to trying to get us back to that America First constitutionality of why I ran.

01:27:55.000 This show is kind of like it's like being present with someone is kind of that's sitting at the dinner table with your family because I'd like why can't I just go watch TV or play video games while I'm eating and they'd be like no you have to sit at the table they never really said why strong family is a strong community is a strong cities a strong counties a strong state is a strong nation you know that's why they're trying to continue with the radical left to attack family to attack the role of father and mother to you know basically trying to deteriorate the importance and significance of God it goes back to what we said earlier in the show where we said You know, we're really, and Tim talked about the culture aspect, but the culture of social and religious warfare that we're challenging right now.

01:28:29.000 I mean, we're past the phase at this stage where it's not about left vs. right, Dem vs. Republican, conservative vs. socialism.

01:28:35.000 It's really America vs. anti-America, good vs. evil.

01:28:38.000 And so we have to just acknowledge the fact that that's where we're at in this nation and where we're at in this world.

01:28:42.000 Do you think people can understand the difference?

01:28:44.000 Do you think they can identify the difference?

01:28:46.000 I think you can absolutely discern between the two.

01:28:48.000 I sometimes think that there are evil factions that present themselves as good and there are people who are tricked by it.

01:28:54.000 They can't tell the difference.

01:28:55.000 And I think probably if you have a good moral compass, if you have good character, if you are developed, you can.

01:29:00.000 But people who are confused or cynical or misled are more likely to be misled.

01:29:06.000 Do you guys think that Trump is the Antichrist?

01:29:08.000 Tim did some research this morning about it.

01:29:10.000 I'm kind of tongue-in-cheek.

01:29:12.000 It was funny though, in the Culture War podcast we talked with a couple guys about whether or not Trump or Elon could be the Antichrist.

01:29:21.000 Glad we have detectives on the case.

01:29:22.000 Yeah, so the funny thing is in Jewish Gematria, Donald Trump is 424 and Messiah, son of David, is also 424.

01:29:30.000 So people are like, oh, you know, that proves it or something.

01:29:33.000 Do you believe in, like, biblical prophecy and stuff like that?

01:29:37.000 Or what's your relationship with God?

01:29:40.000 Well, I mean, I grew up as a kid who actually shared between half of my family that was Catholic and half of my family that, you know, was kind of Baptist and Pentecostal and, you know, just kind of the mix.

01:29:52.000 But, you know, I'll tell you something.

01:29:55.000 We have to understand that our entire Constitution, as it sits, was based upon and founded on our Christian Judaic beliefs.

01:30:02.000 The idea was to create it to where our inalienable rights couldn't be infringed upon or denied.

01:30:07.000 You know, it was to understand the jurisdiction between God to man and you know the way government tries to run especially in a dictator authoritarian rule is they try and make it to where it's almost as if you know the rule of God or the inalienable rights of God is afforded to the government to legislate over to then go to man I mean it's it's it's a complete ridiculousness and where we've gotten so you know we're a nation founded upon our beliefs and so I think that's what actually found you know certainly grounds me it's what makes me who I am and so you know for me I have a very strong belief in a very strong

01:30:37.000 Faith in God.

01:30:38.000 The Constitution says that God gives us our inalienable rights from God.

01:30:43.000 But I grew up as an agnostic and that was fine. 0.86

01:30:45.000 The country's like so liberal that it's like you can believe whatever you want as long as you... Pluralism exists.

01:30:51.000 I mean that's one of the things we protect is everyone's right to freedom, to belief, to religion, to thought, to speech.

01:30:58.000 I mean look, these are all the things regardless of what We don't have to all agree upon the same thing in order to still follow our Constitution and be good Americans.

01:31:08.000 I think it does affect how people view why we have the rights we have, though.

01:31:12.000 If you're like a true atheist who doesn't believe in God, you are basically arguing that our rights are a social contract that we have agreed upon.

01:31:18.000 It doesn't come from anything higher.

01:31:19.000 It's just the things that we believe and collectively decided that we are going to maintain.

01:31:22.000 But we should also understand as Americans that we also have a social contract to our constitution.

01:31:27.000 We have a constitutional duty, a civic duty, to uphold and protect this nation and protect the things and preserve the things that we have.

01:31:35.000 That's where economics come in, because I think money's messing it up. 0.78

01:31:38.000 My love for God is paramount, but then I'm like, who cares about getting rich?

01:31:43.000 It doesn't matter if your name's on that bill.

01:31:46.000 Let's give grace. 0.67

01:31:47.000 Do the right thing, but then it's like, no, I actually need to get that guy's money, because we live in a finite money society where you either got to take it from someone else or print it and devalue his money.

01:31:56.000 That's a corruption of power.

01:31:57.000 That's a corruption of money, the greed.

01:31:59.000 I mean, that's something that's always existed.

01:32:01.000 Yeah, I mean, look, this is the reason why I'm so concerned right now.

01:32:06.000 And you've heard me just kind of ad nauseam about economic growth and where we need to be at and how to sustain and stabilize ourselves.

01:32:12.000 But, you know, we have rulers right now in this regime, this Biden regime, which is corrupted by the money that they've received, by whether it's the Burisma money, whether it's the money out of Romania, the China money, the Moscow mayor, you name it.

01:32:27.000 But the point is, is that there's a pay for play in power here.

01:32:30.000 And that needs to have accountability and prevention.

01:32:32.000 It really just comes down to short term satisfaction, long term satisfaction.

01:32:38.000 And it appears to be the tendency for the right is... Like the hedonist versus utilitarian purpose.

01:32:44.000 Well, I mean, look, people who have kids...

01:32:46.000 Are thinking about the future.

01:32:48.000 People who don't have kids want now.

01:32:50.000 People who want now are typical, they want their dopamine centers hit.

01:32:56.000 So they don't care about anything.

01:32:58.000 Give me the money now, pay off my debt.

01:33:00.000 Why can't Biden just pay off my debt?

01:33:01.000 Who cares?

01:33:02.000 And then everybody else who's got a problem with that is thinking like, what happens later?

01:33:07.000 Sustainable resources.

01:33:08.000 That's what it's really about.

01:33:09.000 Having sustainable access to electricity.

01:33:12.000 Well, but again, though, if we had great quality of life, if we had a strong economy, if we had lower cost of living, if everyone was able not just to try and survive, but to thrive, and they could do that on the backs of where they are still working, they are still actually out there.

01:33:29.000 You know, they're not trying to work in the way that they have to right now because of the 40 year high inflation.

01:33:33.000 Again, this is where government can play a role just into improving the quality of life by trying to get cost of fuel down, by trying to get cost of living down, by trying to strengthen the dollar through great economic growth strategies, by trying to stop us from this interventionist ideology that we think that we have to be the world's police.

01:33:49.000 I mean, there's so much that we can do.

01:33:52.000 That would actually help to quell some of the kind of civil unrest that we see or some of the cynicism by just trying to improve the quality of life.

01:33:59.000 And that's something that the role of government can actually do.

01:34:01.000 If you can reduce the cost of electricity by a hundred, by a hundred, basically by, by to a one hundredth of whatever it costs now.

01:34:08.000 So like you start just pumping out hydrogen at profit.

01:34:10.000 We have a hybrid system.

01:34:12.000 It costs pennies instead of dollars.

01:34:14.000 That would mean that the national debt effectively, even though it would say 33 trillion, it would actually be only 300 billion.

01:34:19.000 Like we would legitimately By magnitudes reduced the value of the deficit.

01:34:25.000 So it's really about the value of the number, not the number itself.

01:34:28.000 But when we're talking about cynicism, I'm more just focused on the idea that giving people the opportunity to continue to try and, you know, go for whatever it is they want to go for in this country without, you know, being prohibited from it and just improving the quality of life for every individual, I think is In itself achievable, but you know, we're so divided and there's so much partisanship and there's this continuation of going after one another as opposed to saying, okay, we have an issue.

01:34:57.000 Let's find a solution that works for the majority of the people here.

01:34:59.000 And it's not just free handouts and it's not this social welfare program that's being weaponized.

01:35:04.000 It's actually government getting in control of costs and ensuring that we have a strong economy.

01:35:08.000 And that's one of the things going back to the Donald Trump comment.

01:35:10.000 I mean, look, we had a great economy under Donald Trump.

01:35:13.000 We had a great foreign policy under Donald Trump.

01:35:15.000 We were holding adversaries accountable.

01:35:16.000 We were securing our borders.

01:35:17.000 We were actually getting to that point of prosperity.

01:35:20.000 We had full strategic petroleum reserves.

01:35:23.000 We had, you know, you go back, we had the Abram Accords. 0.98

01:35:26.000 We had the idea that we were starting to withdraw ourselves from these wars that we never, in my opinion, should have ever been involved in, like Afghanistan or Iraq or especially Syria.

01:35:35.000 You know, myself and Matt Gaetz and many others had voted for the repeal of AUMF, which in my, the authorization of use of military force, in my opinion, is an abdication of our constitutional duties under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11, or even the 73 War Powers Act.

01:35:50.000 But my point is, is that you didn't see You know, the way it is now under President Trump.

01:35:57.000 And that's why, again, I go back to my original statements that we need a president who is a proven leader, who understands economic growth, because he's a business guy, who understands foreign policy, and he's proven that, and who doesn't have a re-election looming over their head so they can make the necessary and bold course corrections to get our nation back on track to where we can actually start to be prosperous.

01:36:20.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats!

01:36:21.000 So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TheBestSongEver.com to pre-order Together Again, which is our modern version of the fake song.

01:36:36.000 The real classic.

01:36:36.000 It's a real song.

01:36:38.000 The real classic that was charted for 87 weeks.

01:36:41.000 No, not until now.

01:36:41.000 Did you know that Ian?

01:36:43.000 87 weeks.

01:36:44.000 That's right, 1967-1968.

01:36:45.000 Written by Jeremy Boring.

01:36:47.000 Performed by, I think, I don't know who gets the writing credit, so I'll be careful on that one.

01:36:51.000 Because I know it was Jeremy, but it may have been Michael, and maybe not.

01:36:53.000 I don't know Michael, you can yell at me later.

01:36:55.000 But it's Smokey Mike and the God King.

01:36:57.000 You guys should definitely check out their song, which actually is really good.

01:37:00.000 And Jeremy told us the story about why he decided to make this song.

01:37:04.000 The long story short of it is, the music industry is one of the institutions that's been corrupted.

01:37:09.000 And so Jeremy and the Daily Wire crew and him and Michael Knowles, Smokey Mike and the God King is their group, decided to give a big middle finger.

01:37:16.000 I thought it would be awesome if we continued and took that and turned it into another big middle finger.

01:37:21.000 So we are basically making I guess you can just call it a parody of modern pop music.

01:37:27.000 It's a tribute.

01:37:28.000 You guys are making a heartfelt tribute to Smokey Mike and the God Kings.

01:37:32.000 Absolutely.

01:37:33.000 I think it's the best song Carter's ever done since he's been working here.

01:37:35.000 Well, there you go.

01:37:37.000 It's so good.

01:37:38.000 Produced by Carter Banks.

01:37:39.000 Written by Jeremy Boring, Smokey Mike, and The God King.

01:37:43.000 So I have no problem saying it's the greatest song ever written, because I have nothing to do with it.

01:37:47.000 So I'm being humble.

01:37:47.000 Well, you actually did spectacular work as well.

01:37:49.000 You're one of the artists on the song.

01:37:51.000 But I'm being humble when I say it's the best song ever, because someone else wrote it.

01:37:56.000 We're just doing a cover.

01:37:57.000 It has nothing to do with the fact that you're a part of it, right?

01:37:59.000 Well, I didn't write the original song, so this song was not written by me.

01:38:03.000 We just did a modern cover version of it.

01:38:06.000 So, no writing credits here.

01:38:07.000 No, it's a tribute.

01:38:08.000 It's a tribute!

01:38:09.000 They're showing respect for the classic, the hit, 87 weeks on the chart.

01:38:12.000 As they should.

01:38:13.000 Yes!

01:38:14.000 In the event we sell 500,000 of these for some reason, then, you know, Daily Wire can slap a gold record on their wall and so can we.

01:38:21.000 Oh, nice.

01:38:21.000 I don't think that's not gonna happen, but basically... No, no, no, this song is really, really good.

01:38:25.000 It is really good.

01:38:26.000 It's modern pop.

01:38:27.000 Yeah, it's tough to qualify a song without having heard it, without someone hearing it, so when you hear it, you'll know.

01:38:32.000 Yeah, it's going live next Friday, but pre-orders are up now, meaning if you go to TheBestSongEver.com, pre-order on iTunes or Amazon, that sale goes towards our total count for the following week, so we're basically given an extra week advantage to try and knock some of these other contenders off Billboard.

01:38:50.000 What's the website?

01:38:51.000 TheBestSongEver.com.

01:38:52.000 Okay, I was writing that article when we did this.

01:38:54.000 That's the hilarious one.

01:38:55.000 That's very funny.

01:38:56.000 Yeah.

01:38:56.000 That's what it is, right?

01:38:57.000 Well, it is The Best Song Ever, to be fair.

01:38:58.000 TheBestSongEver.com.

01:38:59.000 A tribute to The Best Song Ever.

01:39:00.000 Written by Smokey Mike and the God King.

01:39:02.000 Don't look at me.

01:39:03.000 I'm not taking any credit for this one.

01:39:04.000 Produced by Carter Banks.

01:39:05.000 The tribute to The Best Song Ever.

01:39:06.000 I am actually complimenting them when I say it's The Best Song Ever, you see?

01:39:10.000 Or are you saying yours is The Best Song Ever?

01:39:12.000 Nope.

01:39:12.000 Wow, it works in both directions.

01:39:13.000 Nope, I did not write it.

01:39:15.000 And Carter produced it, so it's either praise to Carter Banks or to Jeremy Boring and Michael Knowles.

01:39:19.000 TheBestSongEver.com.

01:39:21.000 But the video is basically us making fun of the weekend and modern music.

01:39:24.000 That'd be funny because then the next time you release a song you can use the same website and release it through thebestsongever.com.

01:39:31.000 They're all the best song ever.

01:39:32.000 Maybe, I don't know, we'll just leave this one there.

01:39:34.000 Alright, we'll grab some more, we'll grab some superchats.

01:39:37.000 Clint Torres says, howdy people!

01:39:39.000 Howdy Clint!

01:39:40.000 You have the first superchat, congratulations.

01:39:42.000 Josh Burks is on the Venezuelan thing from last night.

01:39:45.000 Something similar is happening with Ethiopia and Eritrea.

01:39:48.000 Oh boy, World War III!

01:39:50.000 You got Middle East, you got Eastern Europe, you got a budding... Wow, East Africa?

01:39:56.000 Indo-Pakistan.

01:39:57.000 And where?

01:39:58.000 Indo-Pacific Command, so... Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:40:00.000 Oh, yeah, China, come on. 1.00

01:40:02.000 Wow, we're getting ready for it, huh?

01:40:04.000 All right, what do we have?

01:40:05.000 We'll grab some more Super Chats.

01:40:06.000 I'm Not Your Buddy Guy says, is everyone okay?

01:40:09.000 In reference to the first story, I actually was messaging Hunter.

01:40:13.000 They're okay.

01:40:14.000 Only the perpetrator has lost their life.

01:40:18.000 His girlfriend was hurt, but it's not too bad.

01:40:20.000 It's non-life-threatening injuries, that's what the police said.

01:40:23.000 Yeah, there's photos of it.

01:40:24.000 They posted photos of it.

01:40:25.000 And, uh, it's a crazy story.

01:40:27.000 I mean, one of the things that hit me, struck me, is the use of air tags.

01:40:30.000 The guy was secretly putting air tags somewhere, I guess in their car or something?

01:40:34.000 I've actually heard this fairly frequently of girls who have, like, soccer boyfriends that they'll, like, you know, bug their home or they'll, like, put air tags in their vehicles or in something with their purse if they carry it around every day.

01:40:45.000 It's very scary and sad.

01:40:46.000 It's part of the problem with technology and domestic violence. 1.00

01:40:48.000 I guess according to the text, the purpose was to locate Hunter's, his home.

01:40:54.000 To figure out where he lived.

01:40:55.000 Yeah.

01:40:56.000 And I guess that's what he did.

01:40:57.000 And where she was going.

01:40:58.000 And when she was there.

01:40:58.000 Right.

01:40:59.000 So yeah, this is crazy because one day, we and a bunch of, like it's, you know, Friday nights afterwards, we take a bunch of people and we all go hang out at the casino for a couple hours or whatever.

01:41:07.000 One day when we came back, my iPhone gave me a warning saying you're being tracked by an AirTag that is not registered.

01:41:13.000 And the scary thing is you go to the casino, you park your car, someone slaps an AirTag on your car, watches you the whole time, or like they'll have a buddy in the parking lot, and then they'll basically mark your car if it's a nice car.

01:41:26.000 Then, they know, they follow you home.

01:41:29.000 And then in the middle of the night, something bad happens.

01:41:31.000 And so it turns out, it was just someone else who had an AirTag.

01:41:34.000 Which, uh, but it was, it was, it was freaking nonetheless.

01:41:36.000 My phone vibrates and it's like, you have been tracked by an AirTag.

01:41:39.000 And it shows the location of the casino to my house.

01:41:42.000 So the crazy thing is, it didn't show my house to my house, which would have been fine.

01:41:45.000 I'd be like, oh, okay, someone here has one.

01:41:47.000 And so it was, uh, I don't want to explain what we did security-wise, but security things occurred.

01:41:52.000 And then we cleared it and we were like, wow.

01:41:54.000 You said it was an iPhone that warned you?

01:41:56.000 My iPhone sent me a warning.

01:41:57.000 You're being tracked by an AirTag.

01:41:58.000 That's crazy, because I don't have an iPhone, and that's like, is that a national security threat?

01:42:02.000 That Apple can make little tracking mechanisms?

01:42:05.000 Or is that just the inevitability of technology?

01:42:06.000 I mean, it's good for, like, Tim or, like, anyone who thinks they might have a stalker, right?

01:42:10.000 If your iPhone says, hey, it's registering something that shouldn't be there.

01:42:13.000 The question is, like, can Androids start picking up on that as well?

01:42:16.000 That'd be cool.

01:42:18.000 He's the lord of graphene.

01:42:19.000 some more superjet. Quispy Joe says, hey Ian, have you seen the graphene battery

01:42:22.000 durability tests on YouTube? Negative. But I will. This guy, he claims to be a

01:42:28.000 graphene aficionado. He's the lord of graphene. I'm just the messenger. He has been hydrogen fuel selling the entire

01:42:34.000 He's got some hydrogen right there. The byproduct of graphene.

01:42:34.000 show.

01:42:37.000 He's getting paid by big hydrogen. I mean, I think he's bought and paid for by big hydrogen. For every

01:42:41.000 kilogram of hydrogen you make, you get $4.50 of graphene as a byproduct. So you flash the plastic and

01:42:46.000 then you get the gas, you get the fuel, the gas, whatever, hydrogen gas.

01:42:50.000 And then this stuff you pour into concrete to make it three times more durable.

01:42:56.000 You can put it in car doors to make them stronger, lighter.

01:42:59.000 It's 200 times stronger than steel by weight.

01:43:03.000 And this is just in the bulk version of it.

01:43:05.000 Yeah, man, this is the 21st century building material right here.

01:43:08.000 All right, Andrew 843 says, The Major Richard Starr Act would give service members who are medically retired due to combat injuries their retirement pay.

01:43:17.000 Talked about that a bit last night.

01:43:17.000 Very cool.

01:43:19.000 That's correct.

01:43:20.000 Max Reddick says, Hey Tim, do you think you could briefly explain Section 230?

01:43:23.000 I see people on the left say that conservatives are dumb for thinking that companies like Twitter are getting protection as a platform and publisher.

01:43:29.000 Platform versus publisher is completely meaningless and has nothing to do with Section 230.

01:43:29.000 Thoughts?

01:43:33.000 Section 230 gives broad immunities to websites.

01:43:37.000 That's it.

01:43:38.000 There's a lot of people who are like, you know, Twitter, by editorializing, has become a publisher, but that literally has nothing to do with Section 230.

01:43:45.000 Section 230 should stand, but Section 230 should be enforced properly in that idea.

01:43:51.000 The idea being, if you're protected, So the argument for platform versus publisher is this.

01:43:59.000 We want it to be that if you're a neutral arbiter that allows people to speak and you don't intervene in political opinions, then you have protections from liability.

01:44:10.000 However, once you begin removing content you don't like, you lose liability protections.

01:44:15.000 The problem with that is there are certain content that most people agree should be removed or would need to be removed, So then these platforms need to intervene and that is like basic moderation, violence, privacy violations.

01:44:29.000 I think the easiest one is doxing.

01:44:32.000 Everybody agrees you shouldn't post identifying information of someone else but it's not illegal to do so.

01:44:36.000 You can go in public and hold up someone's private information and it just it's annoying.

01:44:40.000 So in this regard...

01:44:42.000 The argument is, if Twitter is going- so Section 230 says you can remove things that are obscene, lewd, lascivious, criminal, etc.

01:44:51.000 without losing your protection.

01:44:54.000 What we want is for the law to say, yes, you can get rid of things that are criminal activities or are obscene, but opinions- there's the problem.

01:45:03.000 The argument these platforms make is hate speech is an obscenity.

01:45:06.000 Swearing is an obscenity.

01:45:08.000 Therefore, either it's one or nothing.

01:45:11.000 So, people on the right are basically saying, look, we get it, you want to remove videos of, like, child abuse.

01:45:16.000 But some guy saying that he, you know, he doesn't, saying hashtag learn to code, that shouldn't be removed.

01:45:22.000 These companies are arguing that basically child abuse and Hashtag Learn to Code are the same thing, and it's an opinion.

01:45:29.000 So who gets to decide what speech is to be removed and what isn't?

01:45:32.000 So it's a mess.

01:45:34.000 Yeah, I mean, a guy saying something like, child abuse is great, you know, like, that kind of statement technically is completely legal.

01:45:34.000 It's difficult.

01:45:43.000 In my opinion, acceptable because it's legal, even though it's horrible.

01:45:45.000 So if someone says, hey, I don't want to be held liable for the speech of the people on the platform.

01:45:51.000 We say, okay, you're immune from the speech on the platform.

01:45:53.000 They say, okay, but we got a bunch of child abuse stuff.

01:45:56.000 Can we remove that without losing our liability protection?

01:45:58.000 Section 230 says, yes, you can.

01:46:00.000 They say, oh, okay, Ian, you're removed too because you said something offensive.

01:46:03.000 I know, it's crazy.

01:46:04.000 That's not good enough.

01:46:05.000 You can let the communities kind of take control of moderation.

01:46:05.000 We need a better system.

01:46:08.000 That's why people have gone back and forth with just repealing Section 230 outright,

01:46:12.000 which wouldn't work, because then basically you could just sue YouTube for what someone else

01:46:16.000 posted on YouTube. That doesn't solve the problem.

01:46:19.000 You can let the communities kind of take control of moderation. That's what we're

01:46:23.000 experimenting with at Minds, where you have a jury and...

01:46:25.000 If someone reports something, it goes to a jury of users on the site that can vote if it's violating it or not.

01:46:30.000 But then, who writes the terms of service?

01:46:31.000 I mean, Mines' terms of service is U.S.

01:46:34.000 law.

01:46:34.000 If it's legal in the United States, it's legal on Mines.

01:46:36.000 Then there's things like spam, which doesn't correlate to what that means.

01:46:39.000 So you take spam down.

01:46:40.000 Right, U.S.

01:46:40.000 law's not always applicable to the challenges of the Internet.

01:46:43.000 Let's read this here from Craig Charlton.

01:46:44.000 He says, Everything Cheesecake in Martinsburg wants to connect.

01:46:47.000 They offered a private tasting for the TimCast crew.

01:46:49.000 Check it out.

01:46:50.000 Okay, I've heard everything cheesecake is amazing.

01:46:52.000 I've heard like, yeah, and they opened, they moved location somewhat recently.

01:46:55.000 I don't, I don't remember exactly where, but they're a family owned business.

01:46:58.000 They've been around forever.

01:47:00.000 I stock all the Martinsburg businesses.

01:47:02.000 I like cheesecake.

01:47:02.000 I'm into it.

01:47:03.000 I'm gonna look up everything, everything cheesecake.

01:47:06.000 Oh, I found it.

01:47:07.000 Okay, right on.

01:47:09.000 Yeah, our plan for... Oh, okay, so great, that's on Route 11.

01:47:13.000 Route 11 becomes Queen Street, so our plan for Martinsburg is we want to bring a whole bunch of...

01:47:21.000 Parallel economy businesses to physical locations and make an anti-Times Square.

01:47:26.000 Wow, the number one, the first rule.

01:47:29.000 What was that?

01:47:30.000 You might know this, Ian.

01:47:31.000 The three rules for robots.

01:47:33.000 What was it called?

01:47:34.000 Geez, I don't know.

01:47:35.000 Anyway, the first rule is businesses that exist can't be displaced.

01:47:39.000 So, if anything that we're doing puts pressure on those businesses, we have to contribute to make sure that they don't get displaced by us trying to revitalize.

01:47:47.000 Three laws of robotics.

01:47:48.000 Yeah, Asimov's laws of robotics.

01:47:50.000 Asimov's.

01:47:50.000 So, yeah, so Asimov's laws of building businesses in Martinsburg is, we cannot cause problems for the existing businesses that are there.

01:47:59.000 Which would protect a lot of our mom-and-pop shops, which is exactly what we want.

01:48:02.000 Because we're talking about, we're setting up our coffee shop, skate shop, private club, which is currently underway.

01:48:07.000 The private club's probably gonna be sooner, and the only reason we haven't done it is because we thought the coffee shop was gonna be sooner, but it's been a disaster.

01:48:13.000 It's just been taking so long to get everything done, and it's mostly because contractors show up, present plans, sign papers, announce their scheduled start date, and then vanish and are gone.

01:48:23.000 Should we do something like create a union of localized businesses for the area?

01:48:27.000 Because if someone goes in there and they set up a shop and then they... Like a business bureau?

01:48:33.000 Lots of towns have like... I don't like that idea.

01:48:36.000 But like if someone comes in... I mean, it might already exist.

01:48:37.000 It's like an HOA or something.

01:48:38.000 If someone goes in and then they undercut the other businesses, they're like, yeah, we're not going to displace anyone.

01:48:41.000 They go and displace everyone like you have no recourse unless it's contractually part of the community or something.

01:48:47.000 Yeah, I think if you did that, you would have the eye- The goal of being an anti-Times Square is that it's going to be attached to the parallel economy.

01:48:54.000 Any business that came in and tried to destroy a business inside it would be trying to destroy the whole project.

01:48:59.000 So, I don't think anyone would try and do that because you would be destroyed.

01:49:05.000 Like, that just, your business would fail and you'd lose all your money.

01:49:08.000 Starbucks is like, it's gonna bring a hundred million dollars into the community, you guys!

01:49:12.000 And then they're faced with a massive boycott, constant social media pressure, and why would they do that on purpose?

01:49:19.000 They wouldn't.

01:49:20.000 Um, yeah. 1.00

01:49:21.000 Plus they're dumb. 1.00

01:49:22.000 But yeah, everything cheesecake. 1.00

01:49:23.000 We'll have to check that one out.

01:49:24.000 I don't trust anybody when it comes to money. 0.98

01:49:26.000 Oscar Oliu says, damn it, please stop saying guns can be 3D printed. 1.00

01:49:29.000 The 3D printed guns that can fire without metal are complete trash. 1.00

01:49:32.000 Stop perpetuating that lie. 0.99

01:49:33.000 No good, sir!

01:49:34.000 You are wrong!

01:49:35.000 Uh, not only are, uh, would I disagree? 0.92

01:49:39.000 I guess, I guess, 3D printed guns that can be printed without metal are complete trash.

01:49:42.000 You are misconstruing the argument about 3D printing guns.

01:49:46.000 You can take a, uh, a CNC machine at home and cut a low receiver out of metal.

01:49:52.000 Very easily.

01:49:53.000 And watch Infringed on TimCast.com if you'd like to see it.

01:49:56.000 I see you've been a member, so respect and appreciate it.

01:49:59.000 But watch Infringed, and you can see and learn about the 0% receiver. 0.96

01:50:04.000 Have you heard of this?

01:50:05.000 0% receiver.

01:50:06.000 A metal block can be sent to your home, and then if you choose, I'm not advocating this, you can put it into an at-home CNC machine.

01:50:14.000 We actually have two of them, I think.

01:50:15.000 And it will cut a lower receiver right there. 0.99

01:50:18.000 So yes, 3D printing, it can be done.

01:50:21.000 I guess you can argue that's not 3D printing.

01:50:24.000 The fact is, the home manufacture of weapons, of guns, it's here.

01:50:30.000 And I gotta tell you, man, it's so easy that the average person who wants to buy your standard AR-15, they could easily just buy a 3D printer and a home CNC machine for half the cost.

01:50:44.000 And then get sent a 0% receiver.

01:50:47.000 It's, it's, this stuff's easy.

01:50:49.000 So when I say 3D printed guns, I'm not literally saying only plastic.

01:50:53.000 I'm saying the at-home manufacturer of all parts of a gun can be easily done.

01:50:57.000 And you can make a full metal gun with that at-home CNC machine.

01:51:01.000 So.

01:51:02.000 Hey, look, it's here.

01:51:03.000 Gets out of the bag.

01:51:06.000 What do we have?

01:51:08.000 We'll grab some more Super Chats.

01:51:11.000 What is this?

01:51:13.000 Alan Shower says, Tim, massive culture war opportunity.

01:51:16.000 Pozo v. Hannah B. Vis-a-vis Taylor Swift.

01:51:20.000 Why?

01:51:21.000 Because Pozo's anti-Taylor Swift.

01:51:23.000 I don't know who Hannah B. is. 0.99

01:51:24.000 My name is Hannah Claire.

01:51:26.000 Jack Posobiec is walking into a trap.

01:51:29.000 Why?

01:51:30.000 He's walking into a trap.

01:51:31.000 He posted that tweet criticizing Taylor Swift.

01:51:33.000 Yeah.

01:51:34.000 That's a sign up.

01:51:35.000 I thought her interview was super boring for a time.

01:51:37.000 I did not think it was that interesting at all.

01:51:39.000 She's just rehashing old stuff.

01:51:40.000 You guys are letting her live in your head in a way she shouldn't.

01:51:43.000 And I say that as someone who went to her concert.

01:51:45.000 And this is the psyop.

01:51:46.000 Taylor Swift, a couple years ago, criticized George Soros.

01:51:50.000 Why would any conservative in their right mind be like, quick, now we have to attack Taylor Swift? 0.99

01:51:54.000 Are you nuts?

01:51:56.000 She just accused the Soros family of buying her music out from under her. 0.99

01:52:00.000 You should be like, we also don't like the Soros family.

01:52:03.000 Maybe we can work together.

01:52:05.000 Instead, all these conservatives are posting accusing her of working with George Soros.

01:52:08.000 I gotta tell you, if you want to make enemies with the most famous celebrity in the world, that's how you do it. 0.96

01:52:14.000 Imagine you get knifed in the back by a guy.

01:52:17.000 And then you get pissed off, go online and say, this dude just knifed me in the back.

01:52:21.000 And then everyone comments saying, yeah, but you're secretly working with him.

01:52:24.000 So we don't, we don't like you. 1.00

01:52:25.000 Screw you. 1.00

01:52:26.000 You'd be like, are you kidding me? 1.00

01:52:28.000 Where's the support, man?

01:52:30.000 So I'm like, your best case scenario, Taylor Swift, ignore.

01:52:33.000 Taylor Swift might come out in 2024, endorse a Democrat.

01:52:36.000 So be it.

01:52:36.000 Every other celebrity will too.

01:52:37.000 Don't make enemies.

01:52:39.000 Your best bet is to be like, that's what I'm saying.

01:52:42.000 Look, If you see a Taylor Swift person, you know, like wearing a shirt or whatever, you got instant rapport right now.

01:52:49.000 And she might be going to vote Democrat, and you gotta yell at her or him, whatever, maybe it's a guy.

01:52:53.000 You just be like, you know, I got something in common with Taylor Swift.

01:52:56.000 George Soros, the stuff that he funds, not only did he steal from Taylor Swift, that's gotta piss you off, but he's funding these DAs, so I'm right there with her.

01:53:02.000 She was right to call him out.

01:53:04.000 Now, you're friends with the Swifties.

01:53:07.000 I just, you know, I can't stand that, like, my opinion on this is, The only appropriate political commentator stance on Taylor Swift is, oh, I don't know, I guess.

01:53:20.000 Now, okay, fine.

01:53:21.000 Maybe your political commentary overlaps in the music industry, and so you're like, I really don't like pop music.

01:53:26.000 That's totally fine.

01:53:27.000 But it makes no sense that people who aren't attached to this industry are like, oh, Taylor Swift!

01:53:34.000 Someone came to me like, what do you think about Taylor Swift?

01:53:35.000 I'd be like, I don't know.

01:53:37.000 Love song was good.

01:53:39.000 She's got some pop songs I mean what you're saying which is really kind of what everyone should be looking at is that you're trying to say well hey look I'm looking for commonalities not what separates us I mean that was that was the whole point of like what I took from that analogy which is like oh you were gonna tell your oh yeah we don't like what Soros did either like you're trying to find that commonality instead of continuing to try and so in the yeah why why make enemies yeah We got a big opportunity right here.

01:54:02.000 There's a viral video going around where Taylor is talking.

01:54:05.000 They claim it's Taylor opposing Trump.

01:54:06.000 And I'm like... The first and foremost, I don't care about Taylor Swift.

01:54:09.000 It just annoys me that...

01:54:12.000 Read Sun Tzu, man.

01:54:13.000 You don't go to war with someone you can't win a war against.

01:54:16.000 There is no, no reality in which any Trump supporter wins a culture war with Taylor Swift.

01:54:22.000 The only thing you can do is isolate her fanbase.

01:54:25.000 So your best bet is to ignore, at the very least.

01:54:27.000 Or, you can be like, man, did you see how the Soros has ripped off Taylor?

01:54:32.000 That's so messed up.

01:54:33.000 Yeah, she's great.

01:54:34.000 That's it.

01:54:35.000 She makes good pop music, I don't know. 0.99

01:54:37.000 Some billionaire banker bought her music?

01:54:39.000 So, Scooter Braun and Alex Soros and the Soros family financed the purchase of her master recordings.

01:54:47.000 So that basically gave them the rights to everything that was distributed afterwards.

01:54:51.000 I guess what happened was they spent $330 million on it.

01:54:54.000 She couldn't afford to do it because she didn't think the return was going to be there.

01:54:57.000 I mean, she's worth $1.1 billion. 0.94

01:54:59.000 She wasn't then, though.

01:55:00.000 But even now, she doesn't have 330 million in cash.

01:55:03.000 So she couldn't buy her own music, tweeted saying like, these people ripped me off, fine, hope it's worth it for you.

01:55:09.000 And now because she owns the composition rights, she's re-recording it all.

01:55:12.000 Oh, cool.

01:55:13.000 At Kelly Clarkson's suggestion.

01:55:14.000 That's brilliant.

01:55:15.000 Wow, that's awesome.

01:55:16.000 I'm just like, she put out a video that everyone's sharing because they're attacking her, and in it she says, if he doesn't win, at least I tried.

01:55:25.000 Dude, we should record.

01:55:27.000 That means she's supporting Donald Trump.

01:55:30.000 We should record something with Taylor for her name.

01:55:32.000 She's re-recording her stuff.

01:55:34.000 No, it's like Bullet Point.

01:55:35.000 Greatest song in the world.

01:55:37.000 Ian will be like, we should get Brad Pitt on the show.

01:55:39.000 I'm like, okay dude.

01:55:40.000 Well, I'm not like tomorrow, but I'm saying put it on the bulletin board.

01:55:43.000 You got a sticky note over there that says Hassan by July.

01:55:46.000 If Hassan wants to come on, I'm open.

01:55:48.000 There was one about working out, and you went on your fitness journey this year.

01:55:51.000 I think he was the one that forced me to write that down, or he wrote it down.

01:55:54.000 Hey, I'm just holding you to your word, brother.

01:55:56.000 I put things on bulletin boards in my mind and, like, say yes to it.

01:55:59.000 Vision boards.

01:55:59.000 Alright, let's read some more Super J. It's the text vet.

01:56:01.000 It says, as a combat vet, I would never recommend anyone join until things are squared away.

01:56:06.000 Combat cannot be effective until all the wokeness goes away and unit cohesion and trust can be made priority again. 0.97

01:56:11.000 What do you think about this?

01:56:12.000 Well, I mean, he's right.

01:56:13.000 I mean, at the end of the day, what we have to understand is that we have to have cohesiveness.

01:56:16.000 We have to have that unity.

01:56:17.000 We have to have that brotherhood.

01:56:18.000 We have to be ready to, you know, walk line to line.

01:56:20.000 It's interesting that this whole idea of introducing and trying to make the prioritization of DEI as the key has actually sowed in more divisiveness into our military when it should be about us all going downrange together.

01:56:34.000 You know, looking to try and come home together.

01:56:36.000 So, you know, we are doing that.

01:56:38.000 I passed over 20 plus amendments in the National Defense Authorization Act that targets DEI and that actually looks at the protection of our military to try and get them back to what it really was about, which was back then increased lethality, readiness, and being properly equipped, not diversity, equity, and inclusion.

01:56:54.000 It's cool.

01:56:55.000 It's much needed, I think.

01:56:57.000 It's sad to see sort of the way the military has made fun of or sort of mistreated regular Americans saying, no, you won't be able to see the difference.

01:57:09.000 We'll just push this agenda.

01:57:10.000 And then they started to repeal it when they thought maybe we're going to need to up the recruitment levels.

01:57:13.000 Look, at the end of the day, every one of our men and women in uniform who I have a tremendous amount of respect and who I will fight to the very end to try and protect and make sure that they have what they need.

01:57:22.000 They need to get back to what it is to serve this country, not serve anyone's political agenda who sits in the office.

01:57:29.000 And that's really what it's about.

01:57:30.000 We got a good one.

01:57:31.000 Rath says, get Angel Studios to make a Sound of Freedom-like movie, but based on the events of Corey Mill's testimony in Afghanistan and Israel.

01:57:38.000 I thought the same thing, man.

01:57:39.000 That'd be cool.

01:57:40.000 Afghanistan would be, I think that's a movie right there.

01:57:42.000 Would you play yourself in the movie?

01:57:45.000 Or would you have someone else do it?

01:57:47.000 No, you got to have someone play you.

01:57:49.000 Who's going to play you?

01:57:50.000 Oh, interesting.

01:57:50.000 I was going to say the same thing.

01:57:52.000 I don't know.

01:57:52.000 I'm going to try and probably recruit Bradley Cooper.

01:57:54.000 Oh, he's a good one.

01:57:56.000 He was really good in American Sniper and a couple of other movies.

01:57:59.000 I think he's a good actor.

01:58:00.000 But, you know, there was a lot that was in that that was very interesting.

01:58:04.000 You know, a lot of people didn't know that right before we were able to get Miriam and her family out, you know, if you dial from an American phone, regardless of where you're at internationally, it'll automatically register as plus one.

01:58:15.000 But with a lot of your satellite phones, it'll automatically just take the first number and take it over as if it is an actual country code.

01:58:22.000 And so one of the things that we had to do since we were getting no help whatsoever from the American government and the State Department working against us is that I had memorized all the Bassport birthdates and had convinced one of the Taliban commanders that was at one of the checkpoints that I was the husband and the father of these three children and memorized their, you know, Address, their date of births, you know, hospitals, things like this to have proof of life and proof of understanding.

01:58:46.000 And then a guy that was with us who, you know, I'm a fluent Arabic speaker, but there's a guy who is a fluent Pashto, Dari, and Tajik speaker who was with us who we had convinced that he was just the interpreter.

01:59:00.000 And we played a bit of shell games with the satellite phones where we were calling with the satellite phones because we had just heard that Kabul had got the order to shut down all the borders.

01:59:11.000 And that we knew it would take a while for it to go from Kabul to Mazar-e-Sharif, Mazar-e-Sharif out to Kunduz, Kunduz these little outposts and so we had a little bit of time but we called from multiple phones and had convinced the commander that Yusuf, one of the guys that was with us, was actually one of the negotiators in Qatar.

01:59:28.000 And that this family was part of that negotiation and that they would break down if we didn't allow these American family out. 0.99

01:59:33.000 And so it was interesting because when we went across, we had our full team originally, and they would only allow two of us to come over and then retake hold of the physical custody of the children and the actual mother.

01:59:46.000 And I can remember the commander on the other side saying, well, there's probably about a 50% chance that they're going to shoot you when you get over there.

01:59:52.000 And my friend didn't find it as funny, but I just said, well, those are pretty good odds.

01:59:56.000 And apparently he had a lot more to live for.

01:59:59.000 But, you know, it was one of those things where when we got them across the border and we'd actually gotten them into safety and we knew that there was no longer a great risk of the Taliban or anyone trying to take at them, I started getting all these messages on my phone from that Taliban commander swearing, being like, you tricked me. 0.79

02:00:15.000 I just knew I shouldn't.

02:00:16.000 So it literally was from the time that we had gotten them physically onto the other side, he'd already gotten finally that relayed message that no one in or out.

02:00:25.000 And so we just broke it by the edge of time to be able to get that family tree.

02:00:28.000 Yeah, that's a movie right there, dude.

02:00:31.000 Somebody call Bradley Cooper and Angel Studios.

02:00:33.000 That's crazy.

02:00:36.000 Yeah, definitely Angel Studios.

02:00:37.000 But someone's got to make the film, right?

02:00:39.000 So there's the story.

02:00:39.000 Someone's got to make the torch and pass it on.

02:00:43.000 All right, let's see, we'll grab one more here.

02:00:46.000 Paul Taskalos, big ol' super chat, appreciate it, says, SSRI, antidepressants ruined my life.

02:00:51.000 Began at 30 years old, gained 100 pounds.

02:00:53.000 Emotionally numb, no hope, I wasn't living, just existing, dead inside.

02:00:57.000 Took 12 months to taper off, severe withdrawal symptoms, anger, crying for hours.

02:01:01.000 I'm 38 years old now, SSRI free for nine months, I'm healing, learning to love myself, don't give up.

02:01:07.000 God bless you, Andy.

02:01:08.000 Good luck, man.

02:01:09.000 That was Andy?

02:01:10.000 That was Paul Taskalos.

02:01:11.000 Paul Taskalos?

02:01:12.000 Nice job, dude.

02:01:13.000 Paul, keep the fight going.

02:01:14.000 Right on, man.

02:01:14.000 Alright everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, join us to support our work directly, but also, head over to TheBestSongEver.com.

02:01:26.000 Am I getting that right?

02:01:27.000 I'll check it right now, but I think that's it.

02:01:30.000 TheBestSongEver.com and pre-order the song together again on iTunes or Amazon, the direct purchase is worth 150 times a single play.

02:01:41.000 It's the best song ever.

02:01:43.000 It has to be the best song ever.

02:01:46.000 I can't believe we got that URL.

02:01:47.000 That's funny.

02:01:47.000 Seriously.

02:01:48.000 That's freaking hilarious.

02:01:49.000 The best song ever.

02:01:50.000 That's Luke Rutkowski's influence all over you.

02:01:52.000 Well, it was Carter's idea.

02:01:53.000 Oh my gosh.

02:01:55.000 A true music producer being like, here we go, this is the URL.

02:01:58.000 I mean, it's a Smokey Mac and the God King classic.

02:02:00.000 We have to honor them correctly.

02:02:04.000 So, Michael Knowles, we've been working on this for a year, it's been a long time.

02:02:08.000 And Michael was here, and I don't know if he's gonna get mad that I said this, but he was like, Tim, I just won a gold record.

02:02:13.000 And I was like, okay, we gotta sell 500,000 of these, but maybe in like 10 years something will happen.

02:02:19.000 This is a really good song, though.

02:02:20.000 This is one that catches my word of mouth.

02:02:22.000 Maybe.

02:02:23.000 I don't know.

02:02:24.000 I like it.

02:02:24.000 It's like a modern pop version.

02:02:27.000 We're basically satirizing modern pop like The Weeknd.

02:02:31.000 The music video is basically a spoof of The Weeknd.

02:02:33.000 And the idea was to take Daily Wire, Jeremy Boring's spoof of Happy Together, And then turn it into a spoof of modern music so that we could basically double up and give a middle finger to the industry and the institution.

02:02:47.000 Well, not to say it's the equivalent of or I'm trying to make a comparison, but I mean, we did see what happened with the great song, the Richmond North of Richmond.

02:02:54.000 I mean, that thing just absolutely exploded.

02:02:57.000 This song is nothing like that.

02:02:59.000 My point is that it doesn't necessarily have to be some big label.

02:03:03.000 I mean, it could actually just be a group of people who make a really good song and it just catches fire, to Ian's point.

02:03:08.000 To be fair, you guys have been working on something, you launched a legitimate, Trash House is a legitimate label.

02:03:13.000 You guys are really committed to fighting back against people who hate you.

02:03:17.000 It was a year ago that I called Jeremy Boring.

02:03:18.000 I was like, Jeremy, I have this idea.

02:03:20.000 And he was like, okay.

02:03:22.000 And then we started working on it in communication with them.

02:03:25.000 They cameo in the video and it's gonna be fun and funny.

02:03:28.000 So I'll see it.

02:03:29.000 Yeah.

02:03:29.000 So I would appreciate your support.

02:03:31.000 The best song ever.com.
