Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Putin Tried To Detonate NUKE But Was Sabotaged Claims Insider w-Doug Mastriano

00:00:00.000 According to a new report, an insider in Moscow is claiming that Vladimir Putin's already

00:00:23.000 tried to detonate a nuke, but top brass are sabotaging him.

00:00:28.000 I don't know how much I believe it.

00:00:30.000 It's really excellent propaganda for the West. 0.94

00:00:32.000 If we're talking about sending more weapons and resources to Ukraine, the threat of nuclear war certainly might get people riled up.

00:00:39.000 But we'll see.

00:00:39.000 I mean, you gotta choose who you trust in these reports.

00:00:43.000 And that's why I'm careful.

00:00:45.000 I'm saying this is what an insider is claiming.

00:00:47.000 Take it with a grain of salt.

00:00:48.000 However, another report came out.

00:00:50.000 On TV, a member of Top Brass in Russia said that Kiev is planning an attack on a dam.

00:00:56.000 And now Daily Mail is reporting this is evidence that Russia is planning a false flag attack.

00:01:00.000 So, sort through it how you can sort through it.

00:01:03.000 Both sides are obviously going to be accusing each other.

00:01:05.000 But, you know, I'll put it this way.

00:01:07.000 I don't trust Vladimir Putin.

00:01:10.000 I don't trust a whole lot of people in this one so that's what makes it so hard.

00:01:13.000 Fog of War.

00:01:13.000 As Luke's t-shirt says, truth is the first casualty in war.

00:01:18.000 So we'll talk about that and we've also got AOC getting heckled at uh it was like a town hall thing she was doing and this is like the second time I think we've seen in the past week where her own constituents are getting angry.

00:01:29.000 They're protesting crime.

00:01:30.000 One guy stood up and said a 9-11 first responder was attacked.

00:01:34.000 What does she do? 1.00

00:01:35.000 She starts dancing, sticks out her tongue while they're chanting that she's gotta go. 1.00

00:01:38.000 I think she's losing her grip.

00:01:39.000 And then Elon Musk says he's going to fire 75% of Twitter employees once he takes over, so we're all really excited for that.

00:02:35.000 Looking forward to this show.

00:02:36.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:37.000 Who are you?

00:02:37.000 Can you wanna...

00:02:38.000 So, I'm a Senator in Pennsylvania.

00:02:40.000 I have Gettysburg and Chambersburg and Hanover and Shippensburg in my district.

00:02:44.000 I'm running to be the next Governor of Pennsylvania.

00:02:46.000 I served most of my adult life in uniform in the United States Army for 30 years.

00:02:50.000 I started off on the Cold War in the Iron Curtain with my wife, Reby, who's here with us.

00:02:56.000 After our initial training, we shipped off to Nuremberg, Germany with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.

00:03:01.000 And patrol the East German and Czechoslovakian borders defending against that kind of a system and ideas and oppression that are now creeping into American society. 0.58

00:03:09.000 Oh yeah.

00:03:10.000 And Revy and I remember the wall coming down and how the people in the East were just excited to be free finally.

00:03:16.000 It was amazing.

00:03:17.000 Well, we've got to make sure that doesn't happen here.

00:03:19.000 We're very passionate because we did see the flip of that.

00:03:24.000 People coming out of it, people being separated by that wall from their families for 40 years, and it was pretty oppressive over there, even on the free side.

00:03:34.000 We saw a big difference when we moved back to Germany after the wall had come down, and a big difference in just the whole feel of the nation and the culture there.

00:03:45.000 Rebe, would you like to introduce yourself, please?

00:03:47.000 Yes, I am Doug's wife, Rebecca, go by Rebe, and I'm hoping to be the first lady in Pennsylvania so we can get things in order instead of having all the left agenda moving forward in our state.

00:04:06.000 Most of the Pennsylvanians do not believe that way, and so we want to stand for the people.

00:04:11.000 I hear you.

00:04:11.000 All right, well, thank you both for hanging out with us.

00:04:13.000 It's going to be a whole lot of fun.

00:04:15.000 We also got the t-shirt vendor himself.

00:04:17.000 I was actually on the other side of that wall.

00:04:18.000 My family was a part of the Satyadharanosh movement, so I know exactly what you guys are talking about.

00:04:23.000 My name's Luke Hradowski here of WeAreChange.org, and I come here to you with one simple message.

00:04:27.000 People will forget your words.

00:04:29.000 People will forget your actions.

00:04:31.000 But no one will forget that you voted for Joe Biden, and that's what reads on my t-shirt.

00:04:35.000 Which you can get on TheBestPoliticalShirts.com, and it's a great one to start conversations.

00:04:39.000 It's a long-winded one, and you either get one of two reactions.

00:04:43.000 One is someone laughing, high-fiving you, or just utter disdain and shock by some individuals.

00:04:48.000 And I love having those moments.

00:04:49.000 You want to have those moments?

00:04:50.000 Get the shirt on TheBestPoliticalShirts.com, because you do.

00:04:53.000 I'm here.

00:04:53.000 Thank you so much for having me.

00:04:54.000 And I just want to add, too, I mean, you're walking down the street.

00:04:58.000 I see this all the time with you, Luke.

00:04:59.000 People will be like, hey, brother, I love your shirt, and they'll high-five.

00:05:02.000 You meet people.

00:05:03.000 That's a way to build a community, a way to make friends, and a way to start conversations and spread messages that can't be censored!

00:05:09.000 There's a lot of things that can't be censored.

00:05:10.000 Make fun of people who would've for Joe Biden.

00:05:13.000 Who thought?

00:05:14.000 Hey buddy, it's Ian Crossland here, iancrossland.net.

00:05:19.000 Let's just keep this ball rolling.

00:05:20.000 What's up, Doug?

00:05:21.000 Hey, Rebecca. 0.98

00:05:21.000 Good to see you guys. 0.98

00:05:23.000 And imsurd.com.

00:05:24.000 Flipping switches, pushing buttons.

00:05:25.000 You know how it is.

00:05:26.000 There you go.

00:05:26.000 All right, let's jump into this first story from timcast.com.

00:05:30.000 Putin has already attempted to detonate a nuke.

00:05:34.000 Was stopped by sabotage, insider says.

00:05:37.000 Russian expert believes senior-level officials are working against Putin to prevent nuclear detonations in Ukraine.

00:05:43.000 A Moscow insider has claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin recently attempted to detonate a nuclear weapon, but that his efforts were sabotaged by top brass at the Kremlin.

00:05:51.000 The report published at the Mirror also says unspecified technical issues could account for the failure of Russian nukes in recent weeks.

00:05:59.000 Unspecified?

00:06:00.000 Well, of course, this could only mean one thing.

00:06:02.000 Aliens.

00:06:03.000 Because that's the conspiracy theory that whenever the aliens shut down the nukes, people actually talk about it.

00:06:11.000 I don't know why they think that's true.

00:06:12.000 I mentioned this briefly before the show, I said I think it absolves humanity of responsibility and that's why people want to believe it.

00:06:18.000 The reality is, I'll put it this way.

00:06:22.000 Yo, world leaders, they're not above you.

00:06:25.000 If you sit down in, if you're in a bar, you wouldn't even realize you're talking to someone because people are just people.

00:06:32.000 You go into the courts, you meet politicians, you meet enough people, you meet people who are wealthy and own things, and you realize everybody sort of acts the exact same way.

00:06:40.000 Obviously people know different things, people have access to different things, but what I'm trying to say here with this is, When your neighbor got angry at you over some petty BS, that same level of emotion can happen with someone like Putin who's got his finger over the button.

00:06:55.000 Do you think this story is true, Doug?

00:06:57.000 I really don't buy it.

00:06:58.000 I don't have any idea what Putin would have to advantage himself by detonating a nuke.

00:07:04.000 I mean, obviously he's talking.

00:07:06.000 I'm the defender of Putin.

00:07:07.000 I actually designed strategies to defend our allies in Eastern and Northern Europe against him.

00:07:12.000 I don't want him in the Baltic nations.

00:07:13.000 I don't want him in Poland, etc. 1.00

00:07:15.000 But he needs to talk about nukes as a deterrence against the US and NATO.

00:07:19.000 Obviously, a red line for him was 2014, of course, when a new government came in.

00:07:23.000 It was pro-West, pro-EU, pro-NATO.

00:07:27.000 We've seen a similar situation in 2008, of course, with Georgia.

00:07:32.000 Georgia was bucking real hard and working real hard to get NATO membership and Vladimir Putin was like, oh no, you're not.

00:07:36.000 So he swept in Abkhazia, South Ossetia in Georgia and waged that war, achieved his objectives, had a buffer zone and then stopped. 0.86

00:07:44.000 This, I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

00:07:49.000 Just who would have known that they would be able to stop Vladimir Putin and actually have a counteroffensive?

00:07:53.000 Yeah, well they were training since 2014.

00:07:55.000 U.S.

00:07:56.000 Special Operations were down there training every single one of them.

00:07:59.000 And preparing the landscape.

00:08:00.000 And when you're an invading army, you don't have the advantage.

00:08:03.000 They have home territory, and they have all the latest and greatest U.S.

00:08:06.000 technology.

00:08:07.000 Now, I actually read this article, and this article is all over the place.

00:08:10.000 Number one, the mirror doesn't have the best reputation.

00:08:12.000 And they say in the article, quote, Insider claims the launch was not done because of technical failure or by reluctant military chiefs.

00:08:21.000 So again, who's the source?

00:08:23.000 Who's telling you these stories?

00:08:24.000 And number two, you can't even get the story correct.

00:08:27.000 Which one is it?

00:08:27.000 The Mirror is Stuttgart-certified, Luke.

00:08:30.000 What do you mean?

00:08:31.000 Stuttgart says it's good.

00:08:32.000 And another thing to understand here, there is a chain of command specifically with Russia when it comes to launching nuclear weapons that people should know about, because it's not just Vladimir Putin pressing his finger on the button.

00:08:43.000 He also, in Russia, they also have something that's sort of similar, like the nuclear football, but they have a briefcase that essentially notifies the general staff.

00:08:52.000 The general staff have access to the launch codes.

00:08:55.000 Then after the general staff get the launch codes, they could give it to individual weapons commanders.

00:09:00.000 Then they, of course, execute the procedure.

00:09:03.000 Then they send the nuke.

00:09:04.000 So that's the protocol.

00:09:05.000 That's the chain of command that they have in Russia, which I think It's also important to understand here, it's not just one guy pressing a button, and there are ways that the chain of command, the general staff, or the individual commanders could say, no, this is crazy, and that's a likely scenario here.

00:09:18.000 Okay, but how about this?

00:09:20.000 Putin leaked the story on purpose to scare people in the West to think that he's actively prepared and wants to use nukes.

00:09:27.000 You know what I mean?

00:09:28.000 Like Sabre Rattle to the extreme degree.

00:09:30.000 There is merit to that.

00:09:30.000 We listen to any of his major speeches and usually something about nukes comes up.

00:09:34.000 Or through a proxy of his.

00:09:36.000 And so yes, that's his deterrent model.

00:09:37.000 Much as Saddam Hussein, I was part of Desert Storm Liberating Kuwait.

00:09:41.000 A war for energy, by the way.

00:09:42.000 We knew that.

00:09:44.000 But then Saddam Hussein got rid of his chemical biological weapons, didn't tell the West, but he kept talking about he's going to use them against us as a deterrent. 0.59

00:09:51.000 So I do believe that that's a possibility.

00:09:53.000 Putin wants us to know that if we take it to the next level, there's a high danger that it's going to escalate.

00:09:58.000 What do you think?

00:10:00.000 You know, I'm not asking because I haven't read a lot about this or that the audience doesn't have an idea, but I'm curious your thoughts.

00:10:07.000 Why do you think Putin decided to invade Ukraine and why is this happening?

00:10:11.000 Vladimir Putin has a bunch of problems on his hands.

00:10:13.000 First off is this single commodity country.

00:10:15.000 Basically it's oil and gas.

00:10:17.000 A few years ago it was $70 billion a year.

00:10:19.000 Now it's over $100 billion thanks to the gas prices.

00:10:22.000 A couple issues though.

00:10:23.000 Ukraine has been drawing closer and closer to the EU, NATO, and the United States.

00:10:26.000 The government is very pro since 2014 when most of these troubles began.

00:10:31.000 He also has a population problem in that his demographics are shrinking as far as ethnic

00:10:36.000 European Russians.

00:10:37.000 I'm not talking about the Asians that make up most of his country.

00:10:40.000 And that demographic, he would like to have them in my studies within his sphere of influence.

00:10:44.000 I think the most vulnerable place in Europe, other than Ukraine, is Eastern Latvia, Dagobils.

00:10:50.000 When I visited there some years ago, I did not feel safe and I was there in civilian clothes with a Danish buddy of mine and it's like 90% ethnic Russian and most of the Russians there stayed as a result of the Cold War being stationed there.

00:11:03.000 Their dads were military members or intel officials.

00:11:07.000 And they're receiving a stipend from Moscow, by the way, as well, about up to a thousand dollars a month to live.

00:11:12.000 The Russian citizens that are there?

00:11:14.000 The Latvians who are ethnic Russians.

00:11:15.000 Yeah, things don't look very promising for the Russian Empire, and population decline is another major factor.

00:11:20.000 And now, with this war, that only has been exacerbated that much.

00:11:25.000 It's a petrostate.

00:11:26.000 Ukraine is also going to challenge them, specifically with the national resources that they have, the gas that they have, specifically in the regions that Vladimir Putin now is occupying inside of Ukraine.

00:11:36.000 So there's a lot of things happening behind the scenes.

00:11:38.000 There's, of course, NATO and their influence and them being on their border.

00:11:42.000 There's, of course, the sphere of influence that Russia wants to still maintain in this specific region.

00:11:46.000 And it's a back and forth challenge.

00:11:48.000 And I think it was a desperate move.

00:11:49.000 It was a desperate situation.

00:11:52.000 And it's a crazy situation that's only going to get crazier from here.

00:11:57.000 And he needed a decisive knockout blow in that first week.

00:12:00.000 When the Russian air assault and airborne units came into the airport outside of Kiev, those were Putin's best forces. 0.99

00:12:06.000 There's two armies in Russia that I call.

00:12:07.000 You have the specially trained, highly motivated ones like the airborne special forces air assault, and then you have the rest.

00:12:12.000 And the rest right now you're seeing being grinded down by the Ukrainians. 1.00

00:12:16.000 When they were beaten back, That was a clear sign that Putin was in trouble.

00:12:19.000 This is going to be a long, protracted interview.

00:12:20.000 Yeah, I remember seeing that.

00:12:21.000 Seeing them land in the airport, inside of Kiev, and then not hearing anything else about them.

00:12:26.000 Because they were nowhere to be found.

00:12:28.000 And I'm like, that doesn't really make sense.

00:12:29.000 This looks like a failed operation.

00:12:30.000 Russia's A-team.

00:12:31.000 But if you remember in Grozny, when the Russians... It's about buffer states. 0.92

00:12:34.000 You said it.

00:12:35.000 It's a buffer.

00:12:36.000 Because Napoleon and the Germans and two wars and what have you. 0.56

00:12:39.000 So, when the first attempt to go into Grozny in the Caucasus, the Russians were beaten back, and eventually came back with overwhelming force.

00:12:47.000 I don't think Putin has that leeway, though, right now.

00:12:50.000 Do you think it's reasonable, in the sense of an armistice, for eastern Ukraine to be split between the Ukrainians and the Russians, those freeways that go into Crimea?

00:13:00.000 I think that's ultimately the goal, is to take those freeways to turn Crimea and Sevastopol into a trade hub.

00:13:05.000 But do you think that's reasonable for Ukraine and Russia to share those freeways, to each take one, or neutralize the territory in some sense?

00:13:13.000 Are you saying, like, the eastern region goes to Russia?

00:13:15.000 Or make it neutral, or just the freeway from the Donbass, there's two of them, and one of them could be Ukrainian and one of them could be Russian.

00:13:23.000 So, the land bridge that you're describing, Ian, is exactly what Vladimir Putin needed.

00:13:26.000 And I think, actually, his idea of driving that land bridge east, I'm sorry, west towards the Transnistria, which is a breakaway republic on the Ukrainian-Romanian borders, I think he wants to have a broader pro-Russian area underneath his grasp.

00:13:40.000 It does remind me a bit, analogies historically are dangerous, but Sudetenland, 1938, Czechoslovakia, Germans there, In Czechoslovakia and of course I'm gonna go and the bad guy Hitler goes in and liberates liberates quote-unquote and we're seeing a similar thing but the problem with Putin has is the resolve of the West.

00:13:56.000 I mean how many billions of dollars of American money has gone in there?

00:14:00.000 At least a hundred on the books.

00:14:02.000 Well there's secret budgets and then there's public budgets.

00:14:05.000 The public budget is around 60 to 80 to 100 people guesstimate right now but the house right now is talking about doing another 60 billion bill specifically just for Ukraine.

00:14:17.000 That's a lot of And you think about it, the Germans are so proud because they came out and they announced they're giving $2 billion to the Ukrainians to fight the Russians. 0.94

00:14:24.000 The dirty little secret is they're paying $2 billion a month for Russian oil and gas. 0.67

00:14:29.000 The hypocrisy.

00:14:30.000 You know, when Trump, remember in 2018 in the UN, Trump gave a speech and lectured the Germans about real life? 0.94

00:14:36.000 And they were laughing at him and mocking him.

00:14:38.000 Who's laughing now?

00:14:39.000 Yeah, not the working class in this country who are looking at their gas tanks.

00:14:44.000 We hit, what was it, five something a gallon, it went down, now it's going back up.

00:14:47.000 California, it's eight bucks in some parts.

00:14:49.000 Or the Germans who are told, prepare not to take hot showers this winter because of energy costs.

00:14:54.000 Did you hear this?

00:14:54.000 The BBC is preparing scripts for when they have to announce the blackouts in the UK.

00:14:59.000 That was the Guardian, we talked about that the other day.

00:15:01.000 Do you see any resolution to this?

00:15:01.000 Yeah.

00:15:03.000 Because all I'm seeing is escalation, escalation.

00:15:05.000 Obviously, the winter is going to stop a lot of the fighting, but Putin is kind of posturing like he might launch another invasion from the north of Belarus right now.

00:15:14.000 All I see is escalations.

00:15:15.000 Do you see any way that this could possibly de-escalate?

00:15:17.000 I know Putin said he's open to negotiations during the upcoming G20 meeting.

00:15:21.000 Do you think that's going to be successful?

00:15:22.000 I viewed a Russian broadcast last night that was talking about how there's going to be no operations this winter.

00:15:28.000 I think there probably will be, but it'll be minor.

00:15:30.000 I see no off-ramp this year.

00:15:32.000 Yeah.

00:15:33.000 What do you think an off-ramp would look like?

00:15:35.000 A negotiated peace, but it's going to have to be the United States. 0.84

00:15:38.000 This is a hard thing to say.

00:15:40.000 Do you tell Ukraine to give up, you know, Ukrainian territory?

00:15:43.000 You know what the sad thing is?

00:15:45.000 Well, is it sad?

00:15:46.000 I don't know.

00:15:47.000 In 1994, the Bucharest Treaty, remember that?

00:15:49.000 Ukraine was like the third largest nuclear power in the world at the time.

00:15:52.000 That's right.

00:15:53.000 And the United States, Russia, and Great Britain promised to defend their borders if they'd give up the nukes.

00:15:58.000 And they gave up the nukes, and who's defending their borders?

00:16:01.000 That's the problem we have.

00:16:02.000 And Russia promised not to invade them if they gave the nukes.

00:16:05.000 And then here we are today.

00:16:06.000 And the problem with this is it sends a signal to every country, build nukes as fast as possible or else. 0.54

00:16:11.000 Exactly.

00:16:12.000 That's nightmarish.

00:16:13.000 That's what the Indian General Staff, after the desert storm in 1991, and that was my first combat experience there, they did a study in 92 saying we have to get nukes to prevent this kind of attack on us from any country, not specifically the United States.

00:16:26.000 They're the breadbasket of Europe.

00:16:29.000 And they have a long, tumultuous history.

00:16:31.000 I call them the Afghanistan of Europe. 1.00

00:16:34.000 Because when you look at all the violence, all the bloodshed, specifically in Ukraine, it is a major clash point.

00:16:39.000 And people were kidding themselves not to see this as an upcoming major proxy war that's happening right now.

00:16:45.000 And, you know, I could only hope it de-escalates, but I think this could even last a decade.

00:16:50.000 I think it could even last more than that, especially with the way that these wars are fought, especially with how close the people are, especially how there's neighbors fighting against each other, which is atrocious, which is absolutely horrible.

00:17:01.000 I think we should try to stop it, but at the same time, I don't see it stopping anytime soon.

00:17:05.000 You'd have to... Ukraine would have to sacrifice the eastern region.

00:17:09.000 They'd have to give that up.

00:17:10.000 Unless, you know, Putin just eventually gives up, but I think Putin can and will use nukes.

00:17:16.000 I'll be at... I don't have nearly the military expertise you do, Senator, but my concern is that Putin is... he's ideological and he's...

00:17:27.000 He's looking at the end of the great Russian empire, of what Russia is.

00:17:31.000 I don't see him just eventually going like, well, you know, we lost this one.

00:17:34.000 I think he looks at it like, we will be great, we will never back down under no circumstances.

00:17:38.000 If he loses in Ukraine, he's done.

00:17:41.000 And you know, you hear rumblings now.

00:17:41.000 Right.

00:17:43.000 I don't think it's as viable as Western commentators are saying.

00:17:48.000 Because he's been very successful in eliminating opposition around him the past, you know, two decades, actually.

00:17:54.000 He's actually the longest ruler since the Czars at this point here.

00:17:57.000 I mean, it's incredible.

00:18:00.000 Ukraine, I mean, wow, if they can push through this winter here and then have time to rearm and refit and retrain with all this new equipment and this money, hopefully, that's going to the battlefield, I mean, they might be able to start putting the Russians back. 0.95

00:18:10.000 But then what do you do, Vladimir Putin, when your armies are pushed out?

00:18:14.000 And that might happen.

00:18:15.000 Well, this is why the Chinese have a weird kind of situation on their hands here, because they're a big trading partner with Ukraine.

00:18:20.000 Chinese are.

00:18:21.000 Well, this is why the Chinese have a weird kind of situation on their hands here because 1.00

00:18:26.000 they're a big trading partner with Ukraine.

00:18:29.000 They have a lot of relations with Ukraine.

00:18:31.000 But at the same time, they're still geopolitically opposed against the United States.

00:18:35.000 So this is a very weird situation for them.

00:18:37.000 They're kind of like one foot in, one foot out.

00:18:40.000 But I think they're also a country that we should be looking at right now, especially when it comes to Taiwan, especially when it comes to the bigger geopolitical picture, especially with BRICS and the petrodollar in question with Saudi Arabia.

00:18:50.000 Let me pull up this next story real quick and we'll get back into it.

00:18:54.000 From the Daily Mail, Russia plans false flag attack on hydroelectric dam to flood Kursan in latest attack on energy plants as Ukraine brings in four-hour blackouts to tackle electricity shortages.

00:19:06.000 So that's bad.

00:19:07.000 Now, what they're saying is General Sergei Serovaikin Russia's new supreme commander in Ukraine has spoken to Russian media in recent days about what he called a devastating strike on the Nova Kokovka dam, which he said was being plotted by Kiev's troops.

00:19:22.000 Serovaikin, who has also been preparing the Russian public for a retreat from the region, said the blast would flood Kursan and cause widespread damage.

00:19:30.000 They go on to mention in the article that according to experts from the study of war, it's actually them prepping us to accept a false flag attack.

00:19:39.000 Because what's really happening is they're saying, hey, look, they're going to attack us, then they blow the dam, knocking out power in the region, retreating, and then blaming Ukraine for it.

00:19:48.000 Who do you believe?

00:19:52.000 Go ahead.

00:19:53.000 You wanted to say something before.

00:19:55.000 You know, I've studied Russia and the Soviet Union and now Russia for 30 some years, and They think half-European and half-Asian.

00:20:04.000 I mean, they're underfoot, like you said, actually.

00:20:06.000 They're in both camps.

00:20:07.000 Kind of like with China. 0.85

00:20:09.000 They are sometimes oriental in their thinking.

00:20:11.000 In the end, for Putin, it's about his survival, his power base, and after that, what's better for his vision for Russia.

00:20:18.000 I covered this story in my earlier video today on my channel, and it's the United States and US Intel saying Russia's going to launch a false flag attack to flood this.

00:20:27.000 Russia is saying the same thing on their state television, and everything they're saying is almost the same exact thing, except you reverse the major actors here.

00:20:35.000 They're saying the United States is going to be launching a false flag attempt, and we've seen this kind of rhetoric heat up, especially today, which is concerning, to say the least.

00:20:46.000 Anything could happen.

00:20:47.000 I think we should always be skeptical.

00:20:49.000 But when it comes to this larger war, we have to understand that there's also unconventional warfare.

00:20:53.000 What happened to Nord Stream wasn't an accident.

00:20:56.000 And I think we have to look at our infrastructure as it's also a potential target for the Russians or the Chinese or even third parties that could intervene and say, hey, it could be in our interest to spark up this conflict, make it a bigger conflict.

00:21:09.000 And it might not even be Russia or the United States that could set up a false flag.

00:21:13.000 It could be a third party, a country, or another special group that comes in there and it's like, okay, fight each other as we rise to power.

00:21:21.000 So obviously the concern is is a humanitarian crisis.

00:21:23.000 So we had the deeper rivers cut off the Russian troops, of course, that are on in the Kherson side of the west side of the river.

00:21:30.000 The Ukrainians are poised, they've knocked out most of the bridges, the Russians are resupplying with pontoons and boats and what have you. 1.00

00:21:35.000 That can't be sustained for long combat operations.

00:21:37.000 So when, if there's Russian forces tracked, I think that dam is going down no matter what.

00:21:44.000 What's surprising to me in my early days in the army, the Soviets, the Russians, were far better at disinformation and information operations than they are today. 0.80

00:21:53.000 Putin has two audiences, the international audience and of course his domestic.

00:21:57.000 His domestic audience thinks he's fantastic.

00:21:59.000 He's got 80 some percent, you know, positives despite the bad news.

00:22:03.000 Does he really though?

00:22:05.000 How much can we trust of their media?

00:22:06.000 According to Trifalgar.

00:22:11.000 I do think he tends to be popular.

00:22:13.000 I mean, he's the macho man.

00:22:14.000 You know, we have that image ingrained in our brains, you know, in a t-shirt on the back of a... He has high approval numbers because he turned Russia from an international joke to a place that, of course, made sure that people weren't drinking all the time.

00:22:26.000 One of the biggest reasons why Putin is as popular as he is is because he's not drunk all the time like the previous leader was.

00:22:32.000 Yeltsin.

00:22:33.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:34.000 And then when you see him reprimand people who do get drunk, who are in the factories, who are in, you know, major institutions of power in Russia, he makes an example out of them.

00:22:45.000 And even when there's occasions to have a drink or have a shot or have cheers, he's like, no, I'm not doing it.

00:22:49.000 So that's, you know, one reason why people see him as this kind of, you know, savior to Russia and their interests and their country.

00:22:57.000 But at the end of the day, it's just another politician.

00:22:59.000 And how long can he last with losses and casualties stacking up?

00:23:02.000 I mean, Afghanistan, you know, eight years later on, eight years of war with Afghanistan, they finally withdrew in 1989.

00:23:07.000 I mean... But this is Russia's strategy, isn't it always been? 0.76

00:23:10.000 Just send ridiculous amounts of your troops until you just overwhelm your opponents?

00:23:15.000 That has been their approach since World War, actually since World War One.

00:23:19.000 Not in Vietnam.

00:23:20.000 They were happy to fight the limited war by sending arms into Vietnam.

00:23:23.000 I think after World War Two, they realized it's just not a tenable way to fight.

00:23:26.000 So proxy wars, using allies against the United States.

00:23:30.000 And then that flipped in the 80s when Reagan started using proxies in Latin America and elsewhere and in Africa as well.

00:23:35.000 And then in Afghanistan, where we, you know, we've commonly realized we don't have to do all the fighting.

00:23:39.000 So, you know, the policeman of the world, remember that?

00:23:41.000 I mean, that notion from some years ago.

00:23:43.000 Limited war.

00:23:44.000 It was a Henry Kissinger doctrine that they kind of instituted.

00:23:47.000 Vladimir Putin is using this culture war rhetoric.

00:23:52.000 There's a lot of people who feel that in the West right now we've got these degenerate, deviant, and just abhorrent ideologies emerging from the left.

00:24:02.000 Vladimir Putin seems to be capitalizing that, outright calling out this stuff as Satanism, and so there are a lot of people even in the U.S.

00:24:08.000 who think he's actually this, it's this great Christian nation fighting back against evil and degeneracy.

00:24:14.000 Yeah, he's also speaking out against child conversion therapy.

00:24:17.000 Right.

00:24:18.000 But is this him realizing there's an opportunity to propagandize, or does he actually believe the things he's saying?

00:24:24.000 Well, I mean, he has a problem on his hands, because I know he wants to identify that as traditionally Russia, but Russia today is becoming more and more increasingly Muslim than it is Christian or European. 0.93

00:24:34.000 So, you know, what is Russia today?

00:24:38.000 It's hard to get our minds around, you know, in America, but I think that's part of his land grab with, you know, south of Sesepkazi in Georgia and now in eastern Ukraine.

00:24:45.000 They're ethnic Russians.

00:24:46.000 But something really went wrong.

00:24:49.000 Since 2014 Vladimir Putin has managed to forge a Ukrainian identity, whether you're ethnic Ukrainian or ethnic Russian.

00:24:56.000 They now identify fully as Ukrainian.

00:24:58.000 There's always exceptions.

00:24:58.000 Most of them.

00:25:00.000 I was there when the Maidan protests started.

00:25:02.000 It was awesome.

00:25:05.000 The food was great.

00:25:07.000 I saw the building that they set on fire.

00:25:10.000 I got to see the statue that they'd pulled down of Lenin.

00:25:14.000 It was a long, complicated story on how that all went down, but I met a lot of these people, a lot of young people.

00:25:20.000 And they all basically said the same thing.

00:25:23.000 We remember what it was like under the Soviet Union, and we never want to go back. 0.79

00:25:27.000 So there are a lot of people who talk about the Eastern region, and it's probably true for in the East, a lot of people who are ethnically Russian, they speak Russian and view themselves as more Russian.

00:25:34.000 But then you're going to end up with a split in the country from people who are like, I remember the Soviets, you know, we're not happy with that. 0.64

00:25:42.000 And then there's gonna be a lot of people who are just like, I don't trust the West.

00:25:45.000 I don't like their ideology.

00:25:46.000 You remember, and that's interesting because their grandparents lived through the Holomodir, however you say it, the forced starvation by Stalin.

00:25:53.000 Holodomor. 0.58

00:25:54.000 Yeah, that's it.

00:25:55.000 In what, 32, 33 over the winter?

00:25:56.000 Yeah.

00:25:56.000 And 7 to 10 million, we don't even know how many died, Ukrainians, and it happened in other countries.

00:26:02.000 I mean, it's a tough situation, and Putin is stuck now.

00:26:05.000 He didn't have his decisive knockout blow, he did not get Zelensky, he did not take Kiev, and now he's stuck in this fight.

00:26:11.000 I'm just surprised.

00:26:11.000 I mean, there are a lot of people who firmly believe Putin is winning.

00:26:15.000 I think that's just not true.

00:26:17.000 I know there's propaganda, and it really annoys me.

00:26:20.000 Like, you pull up American social media, and every single video is like some Ukrainian soldier flicking a cigar, being like, ha ha ha, and I'm like, come on. 0.54

00:26:28.000 Like, I know they're not winning every single fight, you know, but you look at where the major news is breaking, where the major moves are happening, and what Putin's doing, and like, yeah, they're getting pushed out.

00:26:38.000 But there's a lot of people who just, I suppose they don't want to believe it, they want to believe that, you know, Russia is winning, he's advancing, Ukraine is not winning.

00:26:46.000 My thought on this is just...

00:26:48.000 Did Putin not realize that NATO was going to be a proxy war with NATO?

00:26:53.000 You have Russian pundits saying, since the beginning of this, I think in March, they're like, we're at war with NATO.

00:26:59.000 Okay, did he think he was going to win that?

00:27:02.000 We're providing intelligence, we're providing weapons, training.

00:27:04.000 Not only that, our citizens, volunteers, And now we're learning from The Intercept actual U.S.

00:27:10.000 special operations on the ground in Ukraine.

00:27:12.000 Why would Putin think he's going to go up against NATO and win?

00:27:15.000 Is it a last stand or what is it?

00:27:16.000 Yeah, I think he underestimated the resolve of the Ukrainians, which I did too as well.

00:27:21.000 I'm surprised that they were able to beat back the air assault, airborne forces, and

00:27:24.000 then, you know, overestimated his own forces.

00:27:27.000 On paper, good army, pretty modernized, you know, the front line forces, but look what

00:27:32.000 happened.

00:27:33.000 I mean, but this also betrays a point here.

00:27:35.000 We have to, and Pennsylvania plays a role in this.

00:27:37.000 I mean, energy.

00:27:38.000 Yeah.

00:27:39.000 So we're now in this energy crisis here.

00:27:40.000 We're told gas prices are going up because of Putin.

00:27:43.000 That's Biden's line.

00:27:45.000 But Pennsylvania has the resources to become a leader in energy in the world with our natural

00:27:50.000 We have one of the largest natural gas deposits around the globe.

00:27:54.000 We have great high quality coal.

00:27:55.000 We have high quality oil.

00:27:56.000 So my goal as governor, of course, is to make us number one in energy production.

00:28:01.000 There's a hundred billion dollars of potential wealth out there to be received by Pennsylvania if we can produce that much.

00:28:06.000 You know, it's all about capability.

00:28:09.000 My goal is to have a pipeline to Philly, out to Delaware, so we can start exporting to Boston.

00:28:14.000 Because Boston had to bring in Russian ships in 2018 in that cold winter.

00:28:17.000 You remember the madness?

00:28:18.000 Because there's no pipelines from Pennsylvania.

00:28:20.000 So they brought in two ships from Siberia, 4,000 miles away.

00:28:23.000 So I want to be able to support Boston, but maybe export also to Germany, get them off of Russian oil and gas, and maybe our friends in Poland.

00:28:30.000 And for sure, the Lithuanians have already committed that they want to buy it off of Pennsylvania.

00:28:34.000 I was willing to entertain a lot of this Go Green stuff for a while, but the moment you come out and say, you know, Joe Biden says he wants to get us off fossil fuels, he says it was part of his campaign when he ran for president, then he shuts down Keystone, then he bans fracking in certain areas, and then he goes to Saudi Arabia and begs for oil.

00:28:51.000 I'm like, it's not about getting, it's not about stopping fossil fuels.

00:28:55.000 I don't know what the actual, actually let me just ask you.

00:29:00.000 How does this make sense?

00:29:01.000 That we gotta stop using fossil fuels and then he hurts the United States and then goes over to Saudi Arabia and begs them to keep up production so we can keep getting fossil fuels.

00:29:12.000 What's the reasoning?

00:29:13.000 That when we were energy independent and gas was under two bucks a gallon.

00:29:18.000 184.

00:29:18.000 Just less than, what, two years ago.

00:29:20.000 Just over two years ago.

00:29:22.000 And now we're begging the Saudis and even go to the Venezuelans and kind of winking and nodding to the Iranians. 0.94

00:29:26.000 Are you kidding me?

00:29:27.000 And exporting our wealth over these foreign countries who aren't really that friendly.

00:29:32.000 I mean, we have a good relation with the Saudis because of necessity because who's around them and it's a rough neighborhood. 1.00

00:29:37.000 But Pennsylvania, United States ought to be energy independent.

00:29:40.000 And that's one thing, you know, this is the age of governors.

00:29:42.000 You know, I'm glad you brought other candidates on the show here.

00:29:45.000 Pennsylvania can lead the way in making America energy independent once again.

00:29:48.000 Why do you think it is that they're advocating for no energy independence at home while begging others for energy?

00:29:54.000 I mean, do we just not understand?

00:29:56.000 Or is it just, I wonder if it's that Democrats know their base wants environmentalism, but they also know you can't have cheap gas and environmentalism, so they're just lying.

00:30:07.000 I think it's exactly that.

00:30:08.000 I think they're driven by a gross ideology here that's making life harder and more expensive than the working class people the Democrats claim they represent.

00:30:16.000 Let me jump to this story real quick.

00:30:18.000 Before doing that, you know, they got to build back better somehow.

00:30:21.000 What better way than to destroy the previous version of it?

00:30:24.000 And I really wanted to ask you a question, Doug, because the Biden administration has specifically stopped domestic energy exploration and production.

00:30:32.000 Will they stand in your way as governor?

00:30:33.000 And can they stop you from doing what you want to do?

00:30:35.000 In state, that's my ballywag.

00:30:37.000 On state lands, I completely control that.

00:30:39.000 On private lands, with the cooperation of Atlantos, I don't know if we have time, I've got a four-pronged approach.

00:30:44.000 It's called the Pennsylvania Energy Independence Act.

00:30:47.000 It's not a gimmick.

00:30:48.000 It's actually, I developed this with the energy sector.

00:30:50.000 And of course, we want to do it responsibly.

00:30:51.000 We want to do it cleanly.

00:30:52.000 We don't want our trout being killed and poisoning our land, obviously.

00:30:55.000 We want cancer causing agents and the energy sector has proven they can do it better.

00:31:00.000 The first part of course is rolling back our entry into this regional greenhouse gas initiative,

00:31:05.000 RGGI, which is a carbon tax.

00:31:07.000 It's increased, it's doubled almost our cost of energy in Pennsylvania starting the

00:31:10.000 first of June.

00:31:12.000 So on day one we're going to be out of it when I'm sworn in on 17 January and you'll

00:31:15.000 see immediate relief for the working class people out there, savings in energy.

00:31:18.000 So it's not a choice between heating and eating.

00:31:20.000 Part two of that, of course, is rolling back about eight years of regulations from our

00:31:23.000 Department of Environmental Protection within Pennsylvania that have gone too far because

00:31:27.000 it's so restrictive that they're driving energy businesses to Ohio, West Virginia, and Texas.

00:31:33.000 I want them back in Pennsylvania. 0.98

00:31:34.000 And then, of course, I talked about the pipeline, one coming across from the Pittsburgh area

00:31:38.000 to Philly.

00:31:39.000 And that will bring lots of great jobs.

00:31:40.000 It will bring security as far as energy goes.

00:31:43.000 It will improve it for NATO.

00:31:46.000 It's from the Daily Wire.

00:31:47.000 Bill Gates on energy crisis.

00:31:49.000 And so, and then of course I'll open up state lands.

00:31:52.000 And doing that, I can do all that without being stopped by the EPA.

00:31:58.000 Let me pull up this story. It's from the Daily Wire.

00:32:01.000 Bill Gates on energy crisis. It's good for the long run.

00:32:05.000 The reason I think this is so important, let me give you a bit of context here.

00:32:09.000 They say, the billionaire and Microsoft co-founder explained during an interview with CNBC that although global economies cannot immediately discard oil and gas, current shortages in the European energy market will prompt a faster transition away from fossil fuels.

00:32:22.000 Now, without the Russian natural gas being available in Europe, it's a setback.

00:32:27.000 We need to find non-Russian hydrocarbon sources to substitute for those.

00:32:31.000 Keeping those economies in decent shape is a priority.

00:32:33.000 Now, on the other hand, it's good for the long run, because people won't want to be dependent on Russian natural gas, so they'll move to these new approaches more rapidly.

00:32:42.000 Here's the point.

00:32:43.000 For all of the people that are very concerned about climate change and the environment and all that stuff, hey man, I hear ya.

00:32:50.000 But these people are lying to you.

00:32:51.000 They're saying it's good that Europe's in an energy crisis right now.

00:32:54.000 Italy, they're using candlelight for their stores.

00:32:57.000 The UK is preparing scripts, this is the Guardian reporting, the BBC's preparing these scripts for when the blackouts hit.

00:33:02.000 So now you've got, in the United States, you've got gas in California at $8.

00:33:06.000 You've got gas on the rise nationally.

00:33:08.000 It's over $4 or something right now.

00:33:10.000 They're telling you we have to stop using this stuff because of climate change.

00:33:15.000 And then Joe Biden goes to, as you mentioned, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and just says, keep up their production.

00:33:21.000 They clearly still want this stuff.

00:33:24.000 Their agenda is political, and it does not match what they're saying at home.

00:33:28.000 So I used to be all about, like, okay, you know, let's find renewable energies.

00:33:31.000 Then I saw them going overseas to our adversaries, so we're dependent on them.

00:33:36.000 Okay, Bill Gates can point out we don't want to be dependent on Russia.

00:33:38.000 You know what that means?

00:33:39.000 It means American energy independence.

00:33:42.000 It doesn't mean walking away from it.

00:33:43.000 And we have it.

00:33:44.000 And, you know, I'm no fool.

00:33:45.000 I'm cognizant.

00:33:46.000 I'll be challenged, of course, by the EPA and the Biden administration when I'm governor next year.

00:33:49.000 But we're going to do it because that's underneath the constitutional power of the states.

00:33:55.000 The reason why I would say this is the age of the governors.

00:33:57.000 We saw during the COVID shutdown, which was eye opening for all of us, whether conservative or not, we saw how dangerous this trend was towards tyranny and stripping away our freedoms that we just took for granted.

00:34:07.000 We saw Pennsylvania with very restrictive powers by Governor Wolf and what never was a governor more appropriately named.

00:34:12.000 And then, of course, And of course, Ron DeSantis in Florida.

00:34:16.000 And I kind of say this jokingly, but I really do mean it.

00:34:19.000 I want to bring a little bit of Florida to Pennsylvania, as far as freedoms go.

00:34:23.000 Yeah, but guys, this is not what Bill Gates wants.

00:34:25.000 And what Bill Gates wants is what Bill Gates gets, okay?

00:34:28.000 He paid how much money to the corporate media?

00:34:30.000 $250 million?

00:34:31.000 He bought a lot of influence here.

00:34:33.000 He helped spur on the Inflation Reduction Act, which doesn't actually reduce inflation.

00:34:37.000 But we have to understand here, when he's talking about New approaches?

00:34:41.000 He's also talking about specifically the businesses that he has invested in.

00:34:44.000 So he's not talking about energy independence because of the United States drilling and exploring domestic energy.

00:34:51.000 He's talking about unproven technologies that, again, have not been tested, most likely are insufficient.

00:34:57.000 A lot of people are calling them scams, and rightfully so.

00:35:01.000 And when we see this larger problem in the United Kingdom, people will suffer.

00:35:06.000 There's a big potential for a blackout.

00:35:07.000 People will lose their savings, their money, because they're trying to just afford the ability to heat their homes.

00:35:13.000 And for Bill Gates, this is a good thing for the long run.

00:35:17.000 This is his approach.

00:35:18.000 Human suffering is good for the long run.

00:35:20.000 If those are your tactics, what's going to be your endgame?

00:35:23.000 And the endgame is going to be the same thing.

00:35:25.000 And the carbon that he wants to reduce is, of course, you.

00:35:28.000 Greta Thunberg.

00:35:29.000 You know.

00:35:29.000 How dare you!

00:35:30.000 She comes out, she says, we gotta get off carbon and all that stuff.

00:35:33.000 And I'm sitting here and I'm like, okay, I don't like the plastic in the oceans.

00:35:36.000 I don't like the pollution.

00:35:37.000 You mentioned we don't want our trout getting sick.

00:35:38.000 I'm like, yeah, I want clean.

00:35:40.000 I wanna go out to the wilderness on a hike and see no pollution.

00:35:43.000 I don't like when people throw garbage on the ground and stuff like that.

00:35:46.000 And then I see that she's not talking about China or India at all.

00:35:48.000 Yep.

00:35:48.000 and they're such massive polluters, some of the largest, way more than the US.

00:35:52.000 They don't mention that the US actually reduces its carbon substantially,

00:35:56.000 more so than these other countries. They cut down our energy, they drive up our costs, 0.98

00:36:00.000 they make it harder for the American working class, and then overseas they ignore what

00:36:04.000 everyone else is doing. They don't ignore it!

00:36:05.000 No, no, you don't understand it.

00:36:06.000 Bill Gates advises the Chinese government.

00:36:08.000 He's buddy's buddies with the Chinese government.

00:36:10.000 So he promotes the Chinese government.

00:36:12.000 He says on national television, the Chinese zero COVID approach is the right approach. 0.99

00:36:17.000 They should, of course, create the social credit score.

00:36:18.000 He loves what China's doing. 0.99

00:36:20.000 Because at the end of the day, it's not about saving the environment.

00:36:22.000 That's just a scam that they have on everyone else to conjure up a larger power grab, all a part of the Great Reset.

00:36:30.000 I'll throw you one of the hardest hardball questions ever.

00:36:33.000 Do you like what China is doing?

00:36:35.000 Heck no.

00:36:35.000 I'm watching my language.

00:36:36.000 This is a family-friendly show.

00:36:38.000 Heck no.

00:36:38.000 Easy question.

00:36:40.000 Yeah, I'm concerned not just about the lies and the manipulation.

00:36:44.000 I'm concerned about, you know, China seems to be very much invested in us embracing ideologies that are ripping this country apart.

00:36:51.000 So while they're massively expanding, while their population is much larger than ours, while they're, you know, sinking Vietnamese fishing vessels, they're polluting like crazy. 1.00

00:37:01.000 Their cities are so full of smog.

00:37:03.000 There's this one video of a screen.

00:37:05.000 Have you seen this one?

00:37:06.000 They have like this big TV with a sunny day on it.

00:37:09.000 Because it's just brown skies.

00:37:12.000 And look, I don't want to see that here, but I don't think any of us are talking about that.

00:37:16.000 They're reckless.

00:37:18.000 Reckless and unforgiving. 1.00

00:37:19.000 They're buying garbage from Canada. 1.00

00:37:21.000 Canada's like, we're recycling!

00:37:23.000 They're buying it and literally just dumping it in the ocean.

00:37:26.000 They're not recycling any of it.

00:37:27.000 And it's a scam.

00:37:28.000 All of it has been a larger scam against the American people, the people of the world. 0.80

00:37:33.000 And again, Bill Gates' partnership with China tells you everything you need to know about it and what he's calling for.

00:37:37.000 But it makes you feel good.

00:37:39.000 I know, right?

00:37:40.000 That's a big PR scam.

00:37:41.000 That's the big problem, man.

00:37:44.000 If you are a moderate, liberal, or libertarian-minded person, and you read the news and say, hey, here's a thing, they call you far right in the media.

00:37:54.000 The big point that I keep trying to drive home here is, they keep saying we gotta reduce carbon whilst actively trying to buy it overseas, while ignoring the carbon being produced by these other countries, because they're clearly lying.

00:38:05.000 You point that out and they say it's a right-wing talking point.

00:38:07.000 Yeah, apparently China's building a coal plant almost every week now.

00:38:10.000 Isn't that a violation of these treaties we have with them or something?

00:38:13.000 It is, because we're supposed to sell them, I guess, a carbon tax or whatever.

00:38:16.000 They're supposed to have a certain limit.

00:38:18.000 But for Pennsylvania, we become energy independent and start being a net exporter.

00:38:22.000 And I call it freedom gas.

00:38:24.000 I mean, that's pretty clean when it burns, and it's going to lower costs in our state.

00:38:28.000 So what?

00:38:28.000 It'd be cheaper to live here, inflation would go down, you'd have better jobs, and people would want to live in Pennsylvania.

00:38:33.000 It's funny, Bill Gates in his ivory tower, literally preaching it's a good thing, but he won't be affected.

00:38:39.000 He'll still have his private jet and his private cars and his mansions, with his giant carbon footprint.

00:38:44.000 You could take away 90% of his wealth, and he's still a billionaire.

00:38:48.000 That's true.

00:38:49.000 He has a lot of beachfront property for someone who thinks the ocean levels are going to be rising very soon, which is suspicious.

00:38:54.000 And he probably has a bunch of apocalypse bunkers.

00:38:58.000 He's the biggest farmland owner in the United States.

00:39:00.000 He was asked directly, hey, how come you don't institute a lot of your green policies on your farms?

00:39:04.000 He's like, I don't know.

00:39:06.000 We don't have to. 0.96

00:39:07.000 And I'm like, he just got called out for his hypocrisy. 0.97

00:39:11.000 And it's hypocrisy after hypocrisy. 0.93

00:39:12.000 And Epstein's friend here is not a good person.

00:39:15.000 And he doesn't have your best interest at heart.

00:39:17.000 Well, so let me ask you, when you're talking a lot about energy, natural gas, is that specifically what you're able to produce?

00:39:23.000 Are you talking everything?

00:39:24.000 I'm talking about the three levels, and Revy and I have been out to it, natural grass, natural gas, grass.

00:39:30.000 Grass is good too, I like that, good for the cows.

00:39:32.000 Freedom gas, it's easier for me to say, rig out in western PA, but so three levels.

00:39:36.000 Natural gas is massive in a marshalless shell.

00:39:40.000 We've viewed how they extract it.

00:39:43.000 It is safe.

00:39:44.000 The water tables aren't being polluted.

00:39:46.000 They actually put a concrete filter in to block our aquifers from being contaminated from this proprietary formula they use to extract it.

00:39:56.000 And then of course coal and oil. The oil is very high grade.

00:39:59.000 I mean it's the kind of stuff that you use in important machinery. Any thoughts on this? I think

00:40:04.000 they said they could if they had a plant in Pennsylvania they could actually turn that into

00:40:11.000 gas for the cars as well. Yes.

00:40:14.000 Revy's right.

00:40:15.000 And so I was talking with one of the energy producers and he's like, all we need is refinery in Pennsylvania and we can turn our natural gas to automobile gas.

00:40:22.000 I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.

00:40:24.000 Let's do that.

00:40:24.000 Gasoline?

00:40:25.000 Gasoline for our cars.

00:40:26.000 Natural gas into gasoline?

00:40:27.000 Methane into gasoline?

00:40:28.000 I don't know.

00:40:29.000 I didn't ask him for the details.

00:40:30.000 I just said, let's do that.

00:40:32.000 Have you heard about, I think Ian brought this up, was it you?

00:40:35.000 That they turn plastic into diesel?

00:40:38.000 Yeah, you can turn plastic.

00:40:40.000 They found like in deoxygenated, high-pressure, high-temperature environments, you can melt plastic back into oil.

00:40:44.000 It needs to be refined into gasoline, but it's going to become a valuable commodity is recovering the plastic.

00:40:50.000 Yeah, what do you think about stuff like that?

00:40:52.000 Would you be interested, as governor, in exploring other ways to source energy and fuels?

00:40:55.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:40:56.000 I mean, we have this stuff sitting around, and the garbage keeps stinking up, I mean, and in the oceans.

00:41:01.000 Let's use it that way.

00:41:02.000 You can also upcycle coal into graphene, which is like, I don't know if you're familiar with graphene as a building- Here we go!

00:41:08.000 Everyone drink 21st century building material. It's like steel more conductive than copper. It's like a capacity

00:41:13.000 capacitor like a battery It's what do your carbon? What do you do?

00:41:17.000 You like take two sheets of it and you twist it or something like you twist tronic graphene

00:41:20.000 You can take multiple sheets of it and they're putting it layering it on top of each other one point. It's 1.13

00:41:25.000 degrees Eventually, it's in super conductive carbon. It's this

00:41:30.000 It's a powder here.

00:41:31.000 It's pure carbon.

00:41:33.000 And you can hit coal with lasers and turn it into this stuff, and then it burns cleaner, and then you can turn it into building materials.

00:41:38.000 Wiring.

00:41:39.000 And what's gonna happen, by 2029 it'll be globally...

00:41:43.000 This will become the new, it'll be adopted, essentially.

00:41:47.000 Peak graphene 2029.

00:41:48.000 So if we get on it now, and we start producing this stuff early, Ohio University's working on the upscaling of coal pretty heavily into graphene.

00:41:56.000 I would love Pennsylvania to take the lead on something like that.

00:41:58.000 That'd be fantastic.

00:41:59.000 Check this out.

00:42:00.000 Ian brought this up.

00:42:01.000 So Ian's thing is graphene.

00:42:02.000 You know, he's graph-Ian.

00:42:04.000 But graphene is, oh, he's writing it down.

00:42:06.000 Ian, you got one.

00:42:07.000 So, but here's something really interesting that Ian brought up.

00:42:10.000 At the turn of the century in the 1800s, 1900s in New York, they said that there's going to be horse manure piling 10 feet high, the city will be unlivable, it'll smell.

00:42:21.000 Then the car got invented.

00:42:22.000 And there was no horse manure at all.

00:42:24.000 It was gone.

00:42:25.000 But there was a lot at the time.

00:42:27.000 Ian brings up a good point that we're talking about global warming with carbon in the atmosphere, but they have carbon capture technology that can pull carbon and they can mine it from the air to produce a material like graphene.

00:42:40.000 So when we're talking about all this climate change stuff, it really does feel like people are discounting human invention.

00:42:45.000 That we might actually, as Ian points out, We have too little carbon in the atmosphere at that point, and we start complaining about it.

00:42:51.000 It's getting too cold!

00:42:51.000 We'll be able to withdraw the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

00:42:54.000 You can deposit it on the metals and then turn it into graphene, the carbon.

00:42:58.000 You strip the carbon out of the carbon dioxide.

00:42:59.000 You can also take methane out of the atmosphere, turn it into carbon dioxide, and then turn it into graphene.

00:43:03.000 What's going to happen is we're going to create an industry where we're mining the air, and then we're going to start competing with trees for carbon dioxide.

00:43:08.000 So we've got to be real careful about the way we set this global industry up.

00:43:12.000 Ian's saying burn more gas!

00:43:14.000 Wow, Ian!

00:43:14.000 Gotta burn more!

00:43:15.000 It's not a bad idea.

00:43:16.000 If you can capture the carbon right out of the smokestack, that I think is ideal, because you're not introducing.

00:43:21.000 But at the same time, we've got to start cleaning up what's already out there, too.

00:43:24.000 I love it.

00:43:25.000 Especially since we're the second largest producer of hardwoods in North America.

00:43:29.000 So we've got to balance that, that's for sure.

00:43:31.000 That's amazing.

00:43:32.000 What about sustainability?

00:43:34.000 I mean, this can't last forever.

00:43:35.000 Is there a timetable on how long you'll...

00:43:37.000 So I looked at a report, and obviously there's a lot of geological interpretation here, but they're saying we have about two or three centuries worth of energy underneath our feet in Pennsylvania.

00:43:45.000 Wow!

00:43:46.000 Yeah.

00:43:47.000 But what about two or three centuries later?

00:43:50.000 We got this story from the Philadelphia Inquirer.

00:43:51.000 By then we have graphene and we have Mr. Fusion on the back of our cars, like in Back to the Future.

00:43:56.000 Let's talk about crime. We got this story from the Philadelphia Inquirer.

00:44:01.000 Yes, Wawa's decision to close two stores is a dire statement about public safety in Philadelphia.

00:44:08.000 Despite assertions to the contrary, the move by the locally-based convenience store chain speaks

00:44:12.000 volumes about the state of crime in the city.

00:44:14.000 I'll just give you my personal story on the state of crime in the city.

00:44:17.000 We didn't live in Philly, we lived just across the bridge.

00:44:19.000 We're in South Jersey, five minutes away from the bridge, when the riots happened in what they call the summer of love, the 529 insurrection.

00:44:28.000 I thought we were fine. I'm like, well, we're not in Philly.

00:44:30.000 We got the river.

00:44:32.000 There's people are going to... No, I heard the helicopters.

00:44:34.000 I heard the sirens. The riders crossed the bridge. All of a sudden now I'm sitting

00:44:38.000 here thinking, I'm not going to sit around here and wait for this kind of

00:44:42.000 this level of violence and this crime.

00:44:44.000 So we decided to leave.

00:44:45.000 We came down to the tri-state area here, West Virginia, Harpers Ferry.

00:44:49.000 And since then, what we've seen out of Philadelphia has been horrifying.

00:44:52.000 I mean, as soon as we got out, we saw the story of the guy holed up in his house shooting at cops.

00:44:56.000 We're hearing just, I mean, you had the Wawa where everyone went in and started ransacking everything.

00:45:02.000 Now Wawa is leaving.

00:45:04.000 We see this in Portland too.

00:45:06.000 They just shut down, I think it's the Pearl District Starbucks because of crime.

00:45:10.000 Not that long.

00:45:11.000 It was only a few months ago they announced 16 other stores nationwide will be shutting down because crime is skyrocketing.

00:45:16.000 So what's going on, man?

00:45:17.000 Why is crime through the roof?

00:45:19.000 What can you do about it?

00:45:19.000 What can we do about it?

00:45:21.000 It's funny.

00:45:21.000 Crime comes up a lot in the federal senate races, but there's nothing a federal senator can do at the state level for crime in a state.

00:45:27.000 Exactly.

00:45:27.000 And so it's a bit disingenuous when they talk about, you know, they're going to bring law and order back.

00:45:31.000 It's like, dude, constitutionally, how do you do that exactly?

00:45:34.000 But a governor has a lot to say about it.

00:45:36.000 The irony is, of course, my opponent is the Attorney General.

00:45:39.000 He's been in that job for six years, and he's got one job enforcing law and order.

00:45:44.000 And he's failed on his watch.

00:45:46.000 John Adams said facts are stubborn things.

00:45:48.000 So let me just give you some facts.

00:45:49.000 I'm not a politician.

00:45:51.000 I don't do sound bites like that.

00:45:52.000 But the fact is crime has gone up nearly 40% on his watch.

00:45:56.000 Statewide?

00:45:57.000 Statewide.

00:45:57.000 Wow.

00:45:58.000 We're the fourth highest in fentanyl deaths.

00:46:00.000 Rebby and I were there in Kensington a couple weeks ago.

00:46:03.000 I'll have Reb describe our experience there.

00:46:06.000 Homicides, we're looking at on track for about 600 this year. 0.99

00:46:10.000 It's about 430 as of today.

00:46:11.000 A thousand carjackings, 4,400 robberies, a couple thousand shootings.

00:46:17.000 The gravediggers in Philadelphia said they can't keep up burying the dead teenagers.

00:46:22.000 And my opponent can't run on this record.

00:46:24.000 And sadly, thank God we have alternate outlets like you guys, because traditional media covers for him.

00:46:29.000 Because if that was a Republican, there'd be breathless reporting on how this person had failed the people of the state and turned his back.

00:46:36.000 Instead of doing his job and trying to protect the people, we saw the mayhem in the Wawa in the Mayfair district.

00:46:42.000 That's crazy.

00:46:42.000 We saw the shooting after a football game in Roxborough, another safe area of Philly.

00:46:46.000 We saw carjacking outside in Chester County, outside of Philly, of a mom and a daughter going to school and being, you know, carjacked at, you know, seven o'clock in the morning.

00:46:54.000 Oh yeah, yeah, I saw that.

00:46:55.000 Yeah, I mean, it's heartbreaking.

00:46:57.000 Real people are suffering, and so what can I do about it? 0.99

00:47:00.000 And number one, we're going to become a law and order state because Shapiro is part of the Defunda Police Group.

00:47:04.000 He's friends with BLM and Antifa, so They'll know that their governor has their back.

00:47:09.000 And then secondly, we'll be working with the General Assembly to make sure they're fully funded.

00:47:12.000 We'll expand the number of police we have on the ground.

00:47:15.000 We need more.

00:47:15.000 The people in Kensington and Philadelphia are asking for more presence.

00:47:19.000 And then finally, I'll be surging special prosecutors in the Philly with the authorization of the House and Senate.

00:47:25.000 These are our constitutional powers.

00:47:27.000 Josh Shapiro was given that authorization and he refused to use it.

00:47:29.000 And instead of Putting criminals in jail.

00:47:32.000 He's worked with the Wolf administration to release about 10,000.

00:47:35.000 I know Fetterman's getting hit on the head a lot about how he's released, you know, voted to release on the parole board, you know, all these murders and what have you.

00:47:41.000 Josh Shapiro is also on that board.

00:47:43.000 Yeah, look, it's one thing.

00:47:44.000 There was a tweet I saw.

00:47:46.000 It was Tim Ryan saying he wants to reduce the prison population in Ohio.

00:47:50.000 Immediately, there's this knee-jerk reaction from a lot of people on the right saying, like, wow, that's devastating and bad.

00:47:54.000 But the first thing he says is he wants to get marijuana off the schedule.

00:47:57.000 And there's a big difference between people who are in jail for non-violent drug offenses and people who are convicted of murder.

00:48:03.000 The thing about Fetterman is that many of the people he's actually talked about getting out are people who are convicted of murder.

00:48:09.000 Granted, he says, oh, it was a wrong conviction or it was, you know, wrong for this reason or that reason or there are protests.

00:48:14.000 Okay, well, that is you talking about people who are convicted of murder.

00:48:18.000 And I fully respect if someone's in, you know, prison and they're innocent and you can prove it, they should be released.

00:48:23.000 It should never happen like that.

00:48:25.000 But it's not the same as, you know, for Fetterman, if he wants to come out and say, nonviolent drug offenses should not be handled this way, then I'm like, okay, all right, right on.

00:48:34.000 Key distinction.

00:48:35.000 Right, the problem is you look at New York and those other places and they're letting out violent offenders.

00:48:40.000 There was a story about a guy who had committed like 40 robberies laughing, saying, you keep letting me out and I keep doing it.

00:48:46.000 That's the problem.

00:48:48.000 Yeah, there's an important distinction to make here because personally I'm for criminal justice reform, especially when it comes to victimless crimes.

00:48:55.000 But at the same time, what they're doing is absolutely absurd.

00:48:58.000 It's absolutely crazy.

00:48:59.000 It's almost as if they really deliberately want to make the situation as unbearable and as bad as possible on the streets.

00:49:06.000 And you see a huge rise in crime, specifically where George Soros has invested into the attorney generals, into the district attorneys.

00:49:15.000 And correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like Shapiro got two donations for his campaigns twice from George Soros and has been supported by him.

00:49:23.000 That is a fact.

00:49:25.000 So we're in Kensington, and that's the only open-air drug market in America.

00:49:29.000 Well, there's a lot more in San Francisco, and New York City now, and L.A.

00:49:35.000 The biggest one in America.

00:49:38.000 It was heartbreaking, because honestly, for the people that are trying to live there and just be safe and raise a family, there is no safe place.

00:49:46.000 You know, even in their homes, there's shootings and the bullets go in and the kids, one grandmother raising five kids by herself said they know the difference between a firecracker and a gunshot, you know, and they know what to do.

00:49:58.000 They know to run upstairs and lay flat on the floor.

00:50:01.000 And I think the youngest one's like five years old.

00:50:04.000 The other thing is the school's just locked down because of some sort of crime and the parents aren't told why the school's locked down.

00:50:11.000 So now your kids, you know, are locked in and not able to come home, but you don't know if it's an internal or an external, you don't know what the problem is.

00:50:19.000 And so there's just a lot of fear that it's instilling into the parents because they don't know every day if their kids are going to come home.

00:50:26.000 What happens when a school gets locked down?

00:50:28.000 Like how long is it locked down for?

00:50:29.000 I think various times from what she was telling us.

00:50:32.000 We talked of different people when we were down there, but her story was is it just keeps happening.

00:50:37.000 It's something that's almost weekly and it varies.

00:50:41.000 You know, it might just be, you know, for an hour because they heard there was something in the vicinity and so they were trying to keep the kids in before they let them out, you know, to head home.

00:50:51.000 But, you know, sometimes it's internal and if that's the case, I don't know how long that might be.

00:50:56.000 Might be for hours.

00:50:58.000 What I don't get is that when this kind of stuff happens, the only thing I hear from your modern liberal or leftist is, it's the guns that's the problem.

00:51:05.000 And I'm like, well, it's crime.

00:51:07.000 It's criminals.

00:51:08.000 You know, Pennsylvania's pretty good on gun laws, I'm told.

00:51:11.000 Is that true?

00:51:13.000 Yeah, I mean, it's... I don't live there.

00:51:15.000 Most of the state, obviously, is strongly advocating for Second Amendment.

00:51:19.000 You know, one of the most restrictive cities in a nation is Philadelphia, and it hasn't done them very good.

00:51:25.000 But my understanding is it's still not nearly as restrictive as all of New Jersey.

00:51:29.000 Because, you know, I'm living in the Jersey side, and they're... That's absolutely true.

00:51:32.000 They're giving you warnings.

00:51:33.000 But I bring this up because this means that, you know, I heard a story about people in Philadelphia and they're armed and everything's fine.

00:51:39.000 They go to Jersey and all of a sudden they're getting arrested.

00:51:40.000 And I'm like, wait, regular law-abiding citizens are armed in Philadelphia?

00:51:44.000 Well, yeah.

00:51:45.000 If you're pulled over, you got a pencil in your plate, don't answer any questions in Jersey if you have a weapon on you.

00:51:51.000 But I mean... I plead the fifth.

00:51:53.000 The issue clearly is not the guns or the gun owners.

00:51:56.000 The issue is clearly criminals.

00:51:59.000 And, you know, it's one of the reasons I didn't want to be in New Jersey, because of how insane the laws were.

00:52:03.000 I was told that if someone... Look, I was five minutes from the bridge.

00:52:06.000 We would drive five minutes and you could see Philadelphia.

00:52:08.000 You could look out the window and you can see the buildings and everything.

00:52:11.000 And I was told in Jersey that if someone broke into my house, I had a duty to retreat from my own home in Jersey.

00:52:15.000 And I'm like... That's nuts.

00:52:17.000 Where do you retreat to?

00:52:18.000 I'm like, do I jump out the window and run barefoot my boxers down the street?

00:52:18.000 Thank you.

00:52:22.000 Yes.

00:52:23.000 Because they were like, is that better than killing someone?

00:52:25.000 And I'm like, dude, if someone's threatening my life, I could be out in the winter and my bare... that's nuts.

00:52:30.000 So I look at, you know, Philadelphia and I'm told the laws are better.

00:52:33.000 So we do have the castle doctrine in Pennsylvania, of course.

00:52:36.000 You can only open fire and engage a villain, a potential perpetrator, when they're in your house.

00:52:42.000 That's when the law is completely in your hands.

00:52:44.000 What about on the porch?

00:52:46.000 On the porch?

00:52:47.000 Is that in the house?

00:52:48.000 And you gotta make sure it's far enough in that if the gunshot throws them back, they're not out, right?

00:52:53.000 So if their hand's on the door, the door's cracked open, that's not enough?

00:52:57.000 I don't remember that story specifically.

00:52:57.000 I don't think so.

00:52:58.000 But if you're governor, how would you approach the Second Amendment?

00:53:01.000 boyfriend do you see this one tried banging on the door and tried breaking

00:53:04.000 the door open and the dad shot through the door oh yes that that that wasn't

00:53:08.000 Pennsylvania I don't think it was I don't think so I don't remember that

00:53:12.000 story specifically but but if your governor how would you approach the

00:53:15.000 Second Amendment what action would you take on it it was obviously will be 0.58

00:53:18.000 become a section a Second Amendment sanctuary state I'll be signing into law some of the bills I actually have in.

00:53:24.000 Thank you.

00:53:24.000 I like that.

00:53:25.000 And so I'll be signing into law.

00:53:26.000 I don't know if I'll go as far as nukes, but clearly not.

00:53:31.000 I was telling him before the show how I'm like, hey man, the Second Amendment says arms and we have to amend it if we want to get specific.

00:53:37.000 Would you be okay for constitutional carry?

00:53:39.000 Absolutely.

00:53:39.000 And actually, I'm a co-sponsor of that bill in the Senate.

00:53:43.000 We're constitutional carry in West Virginia.

00:53:43.000 Awesome.

00:53:45.000 It's fantastic.

00:53:46.000 It needs to be that way.

00:53:47.000 And I don't even get why we have a Second Amendment right and I have to pay $25 to get a license every couple of years.

00:53:52.000 It's absurd.

00:53:52.000 It's like, are you kidding me?

00:53:54.000 Additionally, I have a bill, and I'm a prime sponsor of the Senate law, and I hope to sign the law when I'm governor.

00:53:59.000 I will, actually.

00:53:59.000 Where it will prohibit law enforcement within Pennsylvania from cooperating with the Federals if Joe Biden comes in to enforce unconstitutional laws on the Senate.

00:54:08.000 I love it.

00:54:09.000 Yeah, so the nuclear weapons thing is, it's more of a cultural point, using something that's relatively shocking.

00:54:09.000 Nice, man.

00:54:16.000 First, yeah, private companies, private entities can have nukes.

00:54:20.000 I mean, you've got major weapons manufacturers that fill out the forms, I forgot what it was called, we talked to a guy who had an FFL and he explained there's a form for nuclear weapons.

00:54:29.000 And when the Second Amendment was written, you could have a frigate, you could have a man-at-war, you could have a private warship, and you could actually contract with the government, and that's what we have today with these private military contractors and weapons manufacturers.

00:54:43.000 So I think if people are concerned about a private citizen getting access to biological and nuclear weapons, instead of just deciding one day that the Constitution doesn't matter, we should actually say, okay, well, let's amend the Constitution as we were supposed to do.

00:54:55.000 It's more of a point that over a long enough period of time, people seem okay with the fact that the Constitution has been eroded.

00:55:02.000 That's the whole point, I think.

00:55:03.000 That's probably the most important thing that I've heard today, is that we're seeing infringements on our rights through a thousand little cuts here and there, and instead of doing the right thing and saying, okay, do you have a Second Amendment right or not, and approaching it from a constitutional amendment process, it's being circumvented by laws and by bureaucrats and bureaucracy and what have you.

00:55:24.000 Additionally, another piece of legislation that will be signed into law, of course, is reciprocity, recognizing people's right from other states coming through.

00:55:30.000 That's amazing.

00:55:30.000 I'm glad to hear it.

00:55:31.000 I love the constitutional carry stuff.

00:55:33.000 It's too easy.

00:55:34.000 It's very clear to me.

00:55:35.000 I mean, so we know what the U.S. 0.95

00:55:36.000 Constitution says, you know, should not be infringed.

00:55:37.000 The Pennsylvania Constitution says that your right to keep and bear arms should not be questioned.

00:55:42.000 Really?

00:55:42.000 Wow.

00:55:42.000 Yes.

00:55:43.000 That's beautiful.

00:55:44.000 Legal law abiding citizens shouldn't be treated like criminals.

00:55:47.000 It's a simple, it's a simple idea.

00:55:49.000 So constitutional carry, but let's get a little into the nitty-gritty, I guess.

00:55:53.000 What about limitations on, you know, magazine size or, you know, if you're saying it's a sanctuary state, I mean, how does that apply to, say, the NFA, like selective fire rifles, fully automatic weapons?

00:56:04.000 Yeah, I mean, honestly, I haven't gone that far, but I am troubled by the limitations because we've even seen Joe Biden talk about handguns, you know, and having more than six rounds, that would be a revolver.

00:56:14.000 He doesn't even know what he's talking about half the time.

00:56:16.000 Yeah, seriously.

00:56:17.000 That it's illegal, that you could be arrested in New Jersey because you have a 30-round magazine.

00:56:21.000 Are you kidding me?

00:56:21.000 I mean, really?

00:56:22.000 I mean, most veterans have some of those left over from them 16 days.

00:56:26.000 Yeah, true.

00:56:27.000 And not just that, there was a viral video where it was in Italy, I think.

00:56:30.000 You're only allowed to have three rounds.

00:56:32.000 And this individual, this woman, I think it was a woman, got attacked by a boar and then fired three times and the boar did not stop. 0.99

00:56:38.000 Oh, crap. 0.98

00:56:39.000 And so people are like, this is why. 0.99

00:56:41.000 But you look at what happened.

00:56:42.000 Someone tweeted, you know, what am I supposed to do when 30 to 50 feral hogs come into my, you know, my yard?

00:56:47.000 And then all of the liberal anti-gun people are laughing as if it's not a real problem.

00:56:52.000 And it is!

00:56:53.000 They don't understand, you know, people get in helicopters and fly around having to cull the boar population because they're dangerous and they destroy the environment.

00:57:00.000 But these people don't understand that.

00:57:02.000 They live in New York where there is no boar problem and then vote for you to be hobbled when you do have a boar problem.

00:57:08.000 You know it's it's nice when you're living in a you know in a little bubble somewhere you know and you know safe and cozy and you have good Wi-Fi and you know good transportation and you have a private jet and the rest of us so it's kind of you mentioned a boar and we lived in Germany for 10 years and so I was out with our son and a couple of his friends when they're little kids and It's an old quarry in Germany and all of a sudden this boar came jumping off the top of the quarry and bounded off the walls and came straight for us and all the kids were running and I'm like, what do you do?

00:57:36.000 And so I stepped on a rock and stared at it and it lifted its snout, looked me in the eyes and then veered away.

00:57:41.000 It worked.

00:57:42.000 They said stare the animal down and he veered right in front of me.

00:57:46.000 Did it make your shoulders big or anything?

00:57:49.000 I'm just naturally big that way.

00:57:51.000 How tall are you?

00:57:52.000 6'2".

00:57:53.000 But I was standing on a rock.

00:57:54.000 I hopped on a rock so I increased my height and he did veer away.

00:57:58.000 Do you think there's value to having different gun laws in cities and in rural areas?

00:58:03.000 Or do you just kind of keep it...

00:58:05.000 I do believe that the Second Amendment should be consistent across whether you're, you know, city or rural.

00:58:05.000 I don't.

00:58:10.000 You know, lawlessness in Philly, I mean, if that mom had a sidearm with her and a carjacker came, she could've put him out of his misery instead of being terrorized and what have you.

00:58:19.000 I honestly think there wouldn't be a carjacking.

00:58:21.000 That's true.

00:58:22.000 Because people would be like, I better not even try because this woman's probably on it. 1.00

00:58:25.000 I remember in the 70s I had an aunt that lived in Florida and we'd go visit her down in Vero Beach and we were told don't beep at people back then because they might just shoot you, so...

00:58:33.000 Yeah, an armed society is a polite society, and we have to understand it's basic principle.

00:58:38.000 You respect other people, you don't freak out, you don't curse at people, you don't try to attack people, you don't try to steal their stuff or violate their rights.

00:58:45.000 And as long as you do that, you'll be fine.

00:58:47.000 But again, we also have to understand the criminals will always find guns.

00:58:52.000 They will always have, you know, Things like machine guns.

00:58:54.000 They will always have 30-round magazines.

00:58:56.000 And if the general public is limited to, let's say, five rounds, right?

00:59:00.000 A criminal knows that when he's robbing a store, oh, the clerk only has five rounds.

00:59:04.000 So if I'm in a shootout with him, one shot, two shot, three shot, four shot, five shot, he has to reload.

00:59:09.000 My turn to get him now.

00:59:10.000 And it puts the average citizen at a disadvantage when criminals who don't follow the law anyway will violate it.

00:59:16.000 And of course, will use it in order to justify the punishment against the average law-abiding human being.

00:59:21.000 I'm not even... I'm just tired of even hearing it and saying it because it is basic arithmetic.

00:59:27.000 It is so rudimentary it is 1 plus 1 equals 2.

00:59:31.000 If citizens can't have guns and criminals are already breaking the law, you're basically just saying the people who don't care about the law can carry weapons.

00:59:41.000 It's just 1 plus 1 equals 2.

00:59:43.000 And everybody listening to the show knows it.

00:59:45.000 Everybody at this table knows it.

00:59:46.000 And we keep saying it, but it doesn't resonate with these people who are trying to ban guns, that the people, only law-abiding people are going to pay attention to those laws.

00:59:57.000 How do you solve this?

00:59:59.000 In the bottom line, do we have a Second Amendment right or not?

01:00:02.000 And if we don't, then do a constitutional convention and not come here and slowly strip away these rights here and there.

01:00:08.000 Because you're right, when you take the weapons away from the innocent, from the citizens, of course, then only the criminals will be armed.

01:00:14.000 And we've seen that over and over again.

01:00:15.000 You look at Chicago.

01:00:16.000 I'm from Chicago.

01:00:17.000 The wild, wild west, man.

01:00:19.000 And this is why I always tell my friends who aren't from the city, why you don't get involved in road rage incidents.

01:00:26.000 Why, like, I'll be driving with a friend and someone will cut him off and I'll start wailing on the horn and flipping him off and I'll be like, you want to die?

01:00:31.000 Because you never know if who you're flipping off is going to be some gangbanger who's, you know, looking for trouble.

01:00:37.000 It's a city where the criminals, the people who are intent on committing crimes or who outright just don't care about the law, are the ones who are armed.

01:00:44.000 You never know.

01:00:45.000 So, it's funny.

01:00:46.000 An armed society is a polite society. 0.94

01:00:48.000 Well, in that respect, in Chicago, don't pick fights unless you know for sure, like, don't pick fights, you know, outright.

01:00:55.000 And then, don't get into a fight even if it's, unless you know your circumstances.

01:01:00.000 So, what I mean by that is, if someone is getting up in your face and they're threatening you, the fight you've always won is the fight you've avoided, is the saying.

01:01:10.000 Chicago's a place where I've seen people get into fights that it's just like, you wanna talk smack about me?

01:01:15.000 You know, put up your dukes.

01:01:16.000 And the guy goes, okay, and pulls out a gun. 0.84

01:01:18.000 And they're gonna be criminals.

01:01:19.000 And the other issue is, if they have a gun, these people are more likely to hurt you with it, as opposed to your law-abiding citizen who does not want that fight.

01:01:27.000 So, that's why I've, you know, especially growing up in Chicago, I've just been like, We'd be better off if the people were scared to come near me to commit a crime because I'd be armed.

01:01:37.000 Because I'm telling you, all the criminals are armed as it is.

01:01:40.000 They make videos of themselves waving the guns around and all we can do is cower and cross our fingers and hope they're not going to shoot us.

01:01:47.000 That's how crazy it gets.

01:01:48.000 For the most part, you don't gotta worry about getting shot in Chicago.

01:01:51.000 A lot of people seem to think that because it's really bad, you're like walking down the street and bullets are flying everywhere.

01:01:55.000 I'll tell you how bad it is.

01:01:56.000 It's south side of Chicago, going to bed and hearing gunshots.

01:02:01.000 It's getting a call from your friend and saying, I'm seeing some guy drag a body down the alley.

01:02:06.000 Those things actually happened in my life.

01:02:08.000 It's getting off of 290 on Independence and then someone driving past and just pointing a gun and shooting at my car for no reason.

01:02:15.000 That's what Chicago's like.

01:02:17.000 But those are a handful of incidents in the 20 plus years before I finally moved out.

01:02:21.000 So, you know, some people have this idea that you go to Chicago and then every day you're going to be getting shot at.

01:02:26.000 No, but should you ever, you're not going to be happy about it, right?

01:02:31.000 So something's got to change.

01:02:33.000 Let's jump to this next story.

01:02:34.000 Let's get national with it.

01:02:36.000 From TimCast.com, evidence implicating Hunter Biden in 459 crimes was just sent to every member of Congress.

01:02:44.000 The report was produced following a 13-month investigation into material found on his laptop.

01:02:49.000 The file was sent to all 535 members of Congress on October 20th, and includes 140 alleged business-related crimes, 191 sex-related offenses, and 128 drug-related crimes, according to The Sun.

01:03:03.000 It was also sent to district attorneys and U.S.

01:03:05.000 attorneys for the jurisdiction in which the alleged crimes occurred.

01:03:10.000 Okay, here's my question.

01:03:11.000 Is anything gonna happen?

01:03:13.000 Let's break down the crimes.

01:03:14.000 You want to go through all the crimes?

01:03:16.000 Come on, man.

01:03:16.000 Give me some of the hot ones.

01:03:18.000 There's a lot of photos and videos that you could see.

01:03:23.000 How about you watch them?

01:03:24.000 Maybe I'll do that in my room alone.

01:03:27.000 I think he's been just living the criminal lifestyle.

01:03:30.000 I think not all crime is evil.

01:03:32.000 If there's an evil law, you have a duty to violate that horrific law, like in Nazi Germany, for instance. 0.69

01:03:41.000 You know, I think he's just been dodging it, because his dad's the VP and now the president, and maybe he's got what's coming to him.

01:03:47.000 Like, if he's been hurting people especially.

01:03:49.000 If he's been hurting himself, I don't know.

01:03:52.000 I think the reason Hunter has gotten away with so much is because, at the highest level, the DOJ is effectively politicized.

01:03:59.000 So, you look at stories like this and you wonder why.

01:04:02.000 Why is this guy not getting arrested?

01:04:04.000 But let's break it down to actually a more personal level.

01:04:08.000 Let's just say, fine, you don't want to talk about the Biden family.

01:04:10.000 Let's talk about the pregnancy centers that were firebombed. 1.00

01:04:12.000 You saw that story?

01:04:13.000 Yes.

01:04:14.000 Were any of those in Pennsylvania?

01:04:16.000 I don't believe so.

01:04:17.000 Because I know one right over here, like not that far away.

01:04:20.000 We actually had one of our reporters go drive out to it.

01:04:22.000 These people, nothing.

01:04:24.000 I'm not hearing anything.

01:04:25.000 And that's a terrorist attack, as far as I'm concerned.

01:04:27.000 It's terrorism.

01:04:28.000 And nothing.

01:04:29.000 But what do we hear about these pro-lifers?

01:04:31.000 So, you talked about Mark Halk and how, you know, one Saturday, three weeks ago, four weeks ago, about 30 agents showed up in 15 cars on an early morning.

01:04:39.000 We call that a night raid in Afghanistan.

01:04:41.000 We'd help plan these ops where we'd take down tough armed terrorists that have killed people and then sent in

01:04:47.000 special operators, about 30 or so, usually, you know, earlier in the morning at 7. But we do

01:04:52.000 that not proportionally towards a pro lifer because he got in a shouting match with an opponent

01:04:57.000 of his position and apparently the guy was cussing over his kid and so Mark pushed him and the

01:05:01.000 lower court threw the case out and now the feds are to come in with overwhelming force.

01:05:05.000 That's obviously political.

01:05:07.000 I never dreamt in my lifetime we'd see the Department of Justice and potentially the FBI being politicized so much because we have firebombing of crisis pregnancy centers but then nothing happens in defending their rights but of course it's heavy-handed abuse and we saw two priests arrested up in New York State now as well for being pro-life and praying outside a clinic.

01:05:27.000 Praying.

01:05:28.000 I mean, it should not be surprising.

01:05:29.000 My opponent, Josh Shapiro, instead of fighting for our rights during the shutdown, he sued the Little Sisters of the Poor.

01:05:34.000 I mean, he sued nuns.

01:05:35.000 Who sues nuns over a religious issue?

01:05:38.000 Twice.

01:05:39.000 This seems like an overt violation of the First Amendment.

01:05:41.000 Look, if they're gonna make an argument about, like, an assault or something, it's like, sure, but a federal case out of it?

01:05:46.000 I mean, that's the meme.

01:05:47.000 Don't make a federal case out of it.

01:05:49.000 It was a local protest.

01:05:51.000 We used to have, back in the day, I mean, maybe this is just a trope, and maybe there's reason to complain about it, but people get into bar fights.

01:05:57.000 And the cops would be like, go home guys, you're wasting everybody's time with this.

01:06:00.000 These days, you make a federal case out of it.

01:06:03.000 And they are.

01:06:04.000 And that's very chilling.

01:06:07.000 What's interesting, Tim, is that the Democrats blacklisted 21 Republicans a year and a half ago, two years ago.

01:06:13.000 And I was number one on their hit list for some reason.

01:06:15.000 They thought I was going to derail their plans in Pennsylvania, which we will. 1.00

01:06:18.000 And they colluded with the media.

01:06:20.000 This came out in the Salon article.

01:06:21.000 This is not conspiracy.

01:06:22.000 It's a fact.

01:06:22.000 They admitted it.

01:06:23.000 The DNC and DLCC, Democrat Legislative Campaign Committee, they worked with the media to try to take me down.

01:06:29.000 And it didn't work.

01:06:30.000 It made me more popular, actually.

01:06:31.000 but i think i'm most people though seeing you you ad hominem tax and people

01:06:36.000 taking your character in your work in your your books your dissertation your

01:06:39.000 your your service that mostly would prove drop it just to sit down and shut

01:06:44.000 up and uh... that's the problem they have with me that's what

01:06:46.000 the media so frustrated aggravated because i won't shut up because i

01:06:49.000 think it would be nice thirty years i in the army moving around the world to

01:06:53.000 twelve years out of the country ten twelve moves

01:06:56.000 uh... i had a sweet job lined up Fifty-eight.

01:06:58.000 Fifty-eight.

01:06:58.000 right off in the sunset in a comfortable retirement and I could not do that because your generation

01:07:03.000 was getting the country from me worse off than how I got it from my dad.

01:07:06.000 And that's my motivation. 0.96

01:07:07.000 And they're not, they're used to politicians being a bunch of cowards and I ain't going 0.98

01:07:10.000 anywhere. 0.94

01:07:11.000 We're going to win on November 8th and we're going to turn the corner on this.

01:07:13.000 How old, can I ask you how old you are?

01:07:15.000 58.

01:07:16.000 58.

01:07:17.000 Y'all were supposed to give us flying cars. 0.56

01:07:19.000 We were.

01:07:20.000 Here comes George Jetson.

01:07:21.000 We got recession in 2008, now we got economic crises, but I can appreciate you standing up.

01:07:28.000 I could not walk away from it, and I could have.

01:07:30.000 I had the sweet job making a lot more than a senator makes, but it's not about the money.

01:07:34.000 I fought for these freedoms.

01:07:35.000 I defended these freedoms.

01:07:36.000 I love my country.

01:07:38.000 I love it so much that I was willing to lay down my life for it.

01:07:40.000 No hero.

01:07:41.000 But it was heartbreaking to me.

01:07:43.000 I struggled with that.

01:07:44.000 Reby can tell you.

01:07:45.000 I was having trouble leaving the army.

01:07:46.000 I got too old.

01:07:48.000 I reached colonel.

01:07:48.000 That's the highest I can get in my career field.

01:07:50.000 There's no generals in the field that I work.

01:07:52.000 And what I just said, I said to a young man at a radio station.

01:07:57.000 He looked over at me, and I'm in uniform, about to retire, and he said, Well, Colonel, why don't you do something about it?

01:08:01.000 And I was like, Ouch!

01:08:03.000 That hurt!

01:08:04.000 I'm hearing that your opponent's not going to debate you?

01:08:08.000 He refuses to see me on the stage.

01:08:09.000 Why?

01:08:10.000 Why? 1.00

01:08:10.000 He's a freaking coward. 1.00

01:08:11.000 He's got nothing to run on, so he's hiding. 1.00

01:08:13.000 I mean, here you are sitting down with us.

01:08:15.000 You have no idea what we're going to talk about, what stories we're going to pull up.

01:08:18.000 It's been an hour.

01:08:19.000 We've had Kerry Lake on.

01:08:21.000 We've had a bunch of Republicans.

01:08:23.000 I'll give a shout out to Jen Perlman, a Democrat in Florida who also came on. 0.99

01:08:26.000 And, you know, it was great.

01:08:29.000 We disagreed on a lot of things.

01:08:30.000 And it's just so difficult to get Democrats and leftist activists.

01:08:35.000 There's like two that we've had on the show more than once.

01:08:39.000 Shout out to Vosh for everybody who doesn't like him.

01:08:40.000 Hey, man, he's willing to come here and argue with us.

01:08:44.000 But they won't even debate.

01:08:45.000 They won't debate you.

01:08:46.000 I think Katie Hobbs, the same thing, she's not debating either?

01:08:48.000 Not debating in Arizona, not debating in Wisconsin, not debating in Maryland.

01:08:51.000 Right here, Dan Cox, he's a good friend, he's gonna be a great governor here, and his opponent's not debating him either.

01:08:56.000 Wow.

01:08:56.000 You know what I think it is?

01:08:58.000 Honestly, the truth would hurt their campaigns.

01:09:00.000 Yep.

01:09:01.000 Agree.

01:09:01.000 Of course.

01:09:02.000 That's it.

01:09:03.000 They need to keep people in a tight space where there is a controlled narrative, and I'm gonna, you know, I'm sorry, beat the dead horse, but They will come out and claim we've got to reduce carbon emissions while Joe Biden's dumping the strategic petroleum reserve, which is keeping petroleum flowing, and then go and beg, you know, our rivals for oil.

01:09:22.000 They clearly want the oil.

01:09:24.000 They're just lying to you about it.

01:09:25.000 I think you say something like that in debate and they go, hey, wait a minute.

01:09:28.000 That's why they don't want to have a debate.

01:09:30.000 First thing you bring up, among a bunch of other things.

01:09:33.000 I mean, you can talk about the riots.

01:09:34.000 They want to talk about January 6.

01:09:36.000 You say, okay, well, 529, there were a bunch of riots.

01:09:39.000 They firebombed a guard post at the White House.

01:09:41.000 These are the things that the media doesn't want to talk about.

01:09:43.000 And if the media is not advancing the narrative, then, well, I'll put it this way.

01:09:49.000 They don't need to enter a situation where their constituents will hear anything outside of their controlled area.

01:09:54.000 That's exactly it.

01:09:56.000 How do you break through to regular people then?

01:09:58.000 Confront them.

01:10:00.000 Meet them on the street and be like, that's what I did.

01:10:03.000 But hey, I mean, what other way than go face to face, be like, hey, you want to debate me?

01:10:06.000 Let's have a conversation right here, right now.

01:10:09.000 Let the American people decide.

01:10:10.000 I think we need more conversations.

01:10:11.000 And the fact that we don't have conversations, we're losing our civility because of that.

01:10:16.000 Because when you're able to look someone eye to eye, this is the reason why we do the show in person here.

01:10:20.000 There's an energy.

01:10:22.000 There's no bullcrap.

01:10:24.000 There's no nonsense. 0.97

01:10:25.000 You say something I disagree with, I'm going to call you out on it.

01:10:29.000 But I still respect a human being if they come from a different perspective and experience.

01:10:34.000 But when you're not able to face somebody, you're able to vilify them a lot easier.

01:10:38.000 And I think we're reaching a point in this country where it's becoming very, very dangerous to how partisan everyone is.

01:10:44.000 It is chilling.

01:10:45.000 So how do I get the message out?

01:10:46.000 And so Facebook, of course, clamped down on me back on October 17, 2020.

01:10:50.000 I had the greatest reach on that platform for somebody in politics.

01:10:55.000 I'm not a politician.

01:10:57.000 But despite that, and so because of that, I can't boost posts.

01:11:01.000 But despite that, I'm the number one in the nation over Democrat and everyone else on Reach and Facebook, because we told people how we circumvent it.

01:11:08.000 You share.

01:11:08.000 You share to your pages.

01:11:10.000 Manually share.

01:11:11.000 And so social media is one way.

01:11:13.000 Revy and I have traveled the entire state, every single county, several times, meeting people eyeball to eyeball.

01:11:18.000 We probably, the past couple years, we probably shook 100,000 hands.

01:11:20.000 I don't even know.

01:11:22.000 We've been doing it for two years because of all that's been going on with COVID and just people were hopeless in Pennsylvania and so we get invited to all these different counties and events and things and so we went.

01:11:37.000 You guys would have a great YouTube show, the two of you guys co-hosting it, talking about policy and stuff.

01:11:42.000 I'd love it.

01:11:43.000 You know, Red Bee's our secret weapon on the campaign here.

01:11:45.000 I mean, it's fantastic.

01:11:46.000 I'm the introvert that is sacrificing and using a microphone when I would rather not.

01:11:52.000 The guy down in Mexico does this.

01:11:54.000 He does his daily speeches or whatever.

01:11:56.000 What's his name?

01:11:57.000 Obrador?

01:11:58.000 I'm not super familiar.

01:12:00.000 I don't know if he's still there, but I remember being told he comes down to the balcony every day and talks about what's going on and just lays it out.

01:12:07.000 He's very blunt, very personal.

01:12:08.000 This is the future of, you know, people want this.

01:12:11.000 They want authenticity.

01:12:12.000 They want real conversations.

01:12:14.000 They don't want sound bites.

01:12:15.000 They don't want talking points.

01:12:16.000 They just want to be like, give it to me straight.

01:12:19.000 I think one of the challenges is that the new, there's the left and the right, but it's like a new kind of left and right, right?

01:12:25.000 I, you know, I grew up in Chicago, very liberal.

01:12:29.000 Now they call me conservative and stuff, whatever.

01:12:31.000 But I think the difference is, You can tell me painful truths.

01:12:35.000 I'll hear it.

01:12:36.000 And maybe I'll be like, well, it's a good point, man.

01:12:38.000 I don't know how you solved that problem.

01:12:39.000 We have conversations about pro-life, pro-choice.

01:12:42.000 And, you know, Seamus, a good friend of ours, he's a Catholic conservative, very pro-life.

01:12:45.000 We would have arguments.

01:12:47.000 And then we'd laugh and tell jokes to each other.

01:12:49.000 Because we can get along.

01:12:50.000 We can live together.

01:12:50.000 We're willing to hear things we don't like or don't agree with.

01:12:53.000 We're willing to argue.

01:12:55.000 The divide now is between people who just don't want to hear it at all.

01:12:58.000 There's something about politics where a lot of it's like managing morale, I think, as a politician or as a leader or something.

01:13:04.000 And like, if things are bad, and you come out and tell everyone, hey, things are bad, they might panic, and then that makes things worse.

01:13:09.000 So you want to be like, no, everything's fine.

01:13:11.000 But then that's can be a lie.

01:13:12.000 And you're like, I don't want to lie to people.

01:13:15.000 But so what do you do?

01:13:15.000 You just keep like a like a positive mindset about the problems and like, This is the solution?

01:13:20.000 Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up.

01:13:23.000 Well, I was just gonna say, we try to point people to the fact that it doesn't have to be this way, and we try to encourage them, each one of you can do something, and if we all come together, and we all, we're all gonna, like you're just saying, you know, we're all gonna have different backgrounds, different opinions, But if we can all agree to come together on some issues, we can make a difference.

01:13:45.000 And that was one of the big ways of encouraging people.

01:13:50.000 And to watch out for each other, right?

01:13:52.000 Like, to remember, you know, be your neighbor's keeper kind of thing.

01:13:57.000 You know, if somebody's struggling, help them out.

01:14:00.000 And a lot of people came together and met during the pandemic.

01:14:04.000 Yeah, tell them about the fireside.

01:14:05.000 Yeah, at our rallies.

01:14:08.000 We started a fireside, Doug started a fireside chat because people were so confused with our shutdown in Pennsylvania because it was so random how it was happening and businesses couldn't figure out like can I stay open or am I on the list that has to close and what's that look like and so anyway Doug got on every night for about a half hour and just kind of laid out the latest.

01:14:32.000 Here's the list and he sometimes was just reading through all the the rules and Talking to people and people were asking questions.

01:14:39.000 Hey, I have a hair salon So seriously, I can't be open, you know, but the abortion clinics are open, but I can't cut hair I mean, you know, it was it was like people just wanted to know like well what's going on?

01:14:51.000 Why is that going on?

01:14:53.000 And then Doug was able to get his staff working.

01:14:56.000 His staff did not turn anyone down.

01:14:57.000 They even got calls at 2 a.m They did not turn anyone away from the entire state.

01:15:03.000 They didn't just take care of the 33rd district.

01:15:06.000 They were taking calls.

01:15:08.000 One of them was actually talking to a lady in Philadelphia during the time you were talking about with all the burning and everything.

01:15:14.000 She lived above a store and she could hear them crashing and breaking everything.

01:15:18.000 And nobody was answering.

01:15:20.000 And she called his number, got some of his staff, and she said, the police won't come.

01:15:25.000 What do I do?

01:15:26.000 And so the staff stayed on the phone with her until it quieted down, because she was fearful for her life.

01:15:33.000 And they're lying about what happened with those riots.

01:15:38.000 It's the craziest thing to me, and again, it's probably why they don't want to debate.

01:15:42.000 Why we're seeing it across the board.

01:15:44.000 Because you talk about the property damage, the billions of dollars.

01:15:47.000 I've seen these...

01:15:49.000 These talking points where they'll say, oh, it was only a few neighborhoods.

01:15:52.000 Some viral tweet among a Democrat personality said, oh, the right wants to claim that the country was burning during major riots, but it was only a few neighborhoods.

01:16:00.000 It was actually really small towns.

01:16:01.000 It was widespread, rampant, and everywhere for whatever reason.

01:16:05.000 You want to say it was because people were angry about George Floyd, or you want to say they were angry because they were locked up because of COVID?

01:16:11.000 Regardless, Michael Tracy, journalist, he went to these small towns all over the country that people didn't know about.

01:16:17.000 And he saw the same thing, boarded up windows, spray paint, please don't hurt us.

01:16:21.000 We support you, please leave us alone.

01:16:22.000 It's nightmarish.

01:16:24.000 And there's never really been any kind of reconciliation or apology or admission.

01:16:29.000 In fact, the Biden administration, Joe Biden's staffers were donating to bail these people out.

01:16:34.000 That's right.

01:16:34.000 Kamala Harris was fundraising to bail these people out.

01:16:36.000 She did.

01:16:37.000 It's just this simple.

01:16:39.000 Crime freaks me out.

01:16:40.000 I don't want to have to worry about it.

01:16:42.000 Look, for me, We were swatted here, I think.

01:16:46.000 We got like 13 swattings.

01:16:47.000 Are you familiar with swattings?

01:16:49.000 So we have to deal with that.

01:16:50.000 Doing a high-profile show, of course, we're going to have security concerns.

01:16:53.000 So naturally, with crime going up, it matters a lot to me if I'm going to go to a place and it's already that we have security concerns.

01:17:01.000 I don't want to think about that.

01:17:03.000 But it's really simple.

01:17:04.000 On some of the biggest issues, the economy, the cost of goods, and crime.

01:17:08.000 You've got Democrats who have actually supported and bailed out rioters and criminals, advocated for letting out convicted murderers, and then on gas prices Joe Biden actually campaigned on getting us off fossil fuels.

01:17:23.000 So I just tell people, look, There's a lot of things you can complain about culturally.

01:17:28.000 There's a lot of cultural issues.

01:17:29.000 You want to talk about pro-life versus pro-choice?

01:17:31.000 I hear you.

01:17:32.000 But right now, I know what's hurting you the most, and it's your gas prices are making it hard enough.

01:17:37.000 You can't even get to work.

01:17:39.000 If you can't get to work, how are you going to have a job?

01:17:40.000 Then, because of the cost of gas going up, you can't now buy goods.

01:17:45.000 I saw a report.

01:17:45.000 I think it was CNBC.

01:17:47.000 We've got 25 days left in the U.S.

01:17:49.000 diesel supply.

01:17:50.000 I think it's distillate supply.

01:17:52.000 Now that doesn't mean we're going to run out.

01:17:53.000 It just means it's the lowest it's been since 2008.

01:17:55.000 These things don't have to be this way.

01:17:58.000 That's right.

01:17:59.000 I understand a lot of people may be concerned about, you know, other issues in the culture war, but you can't complain about crime and gas and then vote for Democrats.

01:18:08.000 It's not just a culture war.

01:18:09.000 I would say it's more of a psychological war.

01:18:11.000 Former KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov, when talking about psychological warfare, subversion, and control of Western society, said specifically, quote, exposure to true information does not matter anymore.

01:18:22.000 A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information.

01:18:26.000 The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with authentic proof, document, and pictures.

01:18:33.000 And I think that quote definitely rings true today with our modern society, especially with the mass amounts of kind of hypnosis, mind control that is really out there, what some people have described as fifth generation warfare.

01:18:45.000 Now, how do we overcome that?

01:18:47.000 I think it's a lot harder than just said.

01:18:52.000 Well, let's give people something to live for.

01:18:54.000 Let me ask you about what's going on in these schools.

01:18:56.000 So we saw this in Virginia.

01:18:58.000 Ian's actually got one of these books.

01:19:01.000 These are books that are rated... This one right here, Genderqueer. 0.78

01:19:04.000 Genderqueer.

01:19:04.000 I don't know if you guys have seen this.

01:19:05.000 We had that in my testimony two days ago in the Senate in Harrisburg.

01:19:09.000 Eighteen and up on Amazon.

01:19:10.000 But these books are in grade school libraries.

01:19:14.000 And when parents simply say, hey, this material is not appropriate for my kid, they get kicked out of these meetings, they get told not to speak, they get the boot, and then we're told just that this is the kind of stuff that grade school kids should have access to.

01:19:25.000 So, was there something that happened recently with you guys?

01:19:28.000 Just tell me what your thoughts are.

01:19:29.000 We had a hearing in Harrisburg and brought in several testifiers, several moms from the southeastern part of the state.

01:19:36.000 One of the moms had a stack of about 10 different books and she read from one of them which was completely disgusting. 1.00

01:19:41.000 It repugnant. 0.96

01:19:44.000 It's that bad.

01:19:44.000 Do you remember which book specifically this one was?

01:19:47.000 I don't.

01:19:48.000 She read it.

01:19:49.000 It was so bad that the committee chair said, okay, we understand now.

01:19:53.000 But the pictures in some of those books that she had there are extremely graphic, and it's for elementary ed kids, and if you and I shared that material with underage people, that would be an offense.

01:20:04.000 We'd be arrested.

01:20:05.000 That's right. 0.68

01:20:05.000 That's disgusting. 0.68

01:20:06.000 Josh Shapiro, my opponent, supports that being in the libraries.

01:20:09.000 We actually had a bill that would protect kids from obscene material in the schools, age-appropriate books, and it was called book banning by the Democrats, and our Democrat governor, Wolf, vetoed it, and my opponent cheered.

01:20:20.000 On the same side here, they celebrate, of course, gender pronoun games in our schools.

01:20:24.000 Our schools are becoming, really, a culture war class in Pennsylvania.

01:20:28.000 Because they know, if they can indoctrinate the kids, they get votes in, you know, 18 years.

01:20:33.000 And the kids are told not to tell their parents if they're transitioning or which pronouns they're using, and the parents will get on board later on.

01:20:39.000 Levine is part of this.

01:20:41.000 The great Dr. Levine, our Secretary of Health in Pennsylvania now, Yeah, Matt Walsh is doing, I think he's doing a screening tour.

01:20:47.000 admiral now, woman of the year, you can't make this stuff up. 0.97

01:20:50.000 I mean these people talk about defending women's rights but they can't even define what a woman 1.00

01:20:53.000 is now.

01:20:54.000 I mean it's just insane.

01:20:55.000 Yeah, Matt Walsh is doing, I think he's doing a screening tour.

01:20:58.000 I know he's got like a big rally in Tennessee.

01:21:01.000 But you've seen Matt Walsh's documentary, What is a Woman?

01:21:03.000 Yep.

01:21:04.000 I mean, that's it right there.

01:21:05.000 Look, I'm all for making sure people are living happy and healthy lives for the trans community, but what we're talking about now is, it's a simple issue.

01:21:16.000 Parents saying, hey, me personally, I don't think it is right for my children to read a book that shows graphic sexual depictions.

01:21:24.000 And they're being called book burners, fascists, transphobes.

01:21:29.000 Domestic terrorists, if you talk too loud in a school board meeting. 0.79

01:21:32.000 Something's really weird about that.

01:21:34.000 There is.

01:21:36.000 You know what I would just say?

01:21:37.000 You can ask, well if you ever get the chance, because he's not going to debate you, you can just ask him, do you think banning Playboy would be book bannings?

01:21:44.000 Is that banning a book to ban Hustler from schools?

01:21:48.000 We're not talking about telling kids they can't read ideas.

01:21:51.000 It's specifically that these are adult Adult-oriented things.

01:21:55.000 You know, it's one thing if you're like... And actually, I brought this up with... I can't remember who I brought it up with.

01:22:00.000 We have a lot of guests.

01:22:02.000 The Bible has certain depictions in it that are actually adult and graphic.

01:22:07.000 And my attitude is, yeah, the parents should be there talking with their kids and deciding if they want their kids to be reading certain things.

01:22:13.000 I don't care where it is.

01:22:13.000 I don't care if it's a religious text or if it's a book.

01:22:16.000 The idea that teachers will decide for the parents and the parents have no say somehow equates to book bannings is ludicrous.

01:22:23.000 And we see the videos on the libs of TikTok, you know, and they're using their platform to indoctrinate, and that's an abuse of power there.

01:22:30.000 You're there to educate, not to indoctrinate.

01:22:32.000 We want to teach kids, you know, how to think, not what to think, and that's a dangerous trend here.

01:22:36.000 And now that there's a push to force the parents out of their kids' lives, in their education, in their choices, and what have you, in their understanding, in their worldview, that's troubling.

01:22:46.000 You know, we started off this conversation about You know, Lieutenant Mastriana serving in the Iron Curtain, you know, defending against the godless system that Ronald Reagan described.

01:22:56.000 And in those days, during the Soviet Empire, of course, schools were used to indoctrinate, to socialize and indoctrinate according to the edicts of the rulers.

01:23:04.000 And I remember being, I'm so glad it's not like that in America.

01:23:08.000 But we're seeing that coming here in America.

01:23:10.000 Are you familiar with ESG?

01:23:11.000 I am.

01:23:12.000 So that's, I view that as like the Chinese Communist Party, but for the Western version.

01:23:19.000 They've got, the Chinese Communist Party has an office in all of their major companies so that they have political control with how these companies operate.

01:23:26.000 ESG is basically the same thing, it's a workaround to get ideology into the business.

01:23:30.000 You know what though, I think it's not working.

01:23:33.000 I think we're seeing the backlash.

01:23:34.000 There are many states, I think West Virginia, cut ties with businesses based on ESG.

01:23:40.000 What was the story?

01:23:41.000 You want to pull that one up?

01:23:42.000 I think we talked about it recently.

01:23:44.000 They said that they wouldn't do business with a specific company based on... Yeah, penalizes major companies for embracing ESG.

01:23:51.000 West Virginia did that about four months ago.

01:23:54.000 Does the governor have the authority?

01:23:55.000 Would you be interested in selecting?

01:23:57.000 Yes, I do.

01:23:58.000 And we do need to elect a Republican General Assembly.

01:24:00.000 That's just a constitutional factor.

01:24:02.000 But me, together with the Republican General Assembly, we can cut off ties with businesses or not invest in China or Russia or companies that work against our ideas and ideals.

01:24:10.000 I wonder if the same goes for free speech, supporting the First Amendment, and social media companies that take control of the commons.

01:24:18.000 Since I've been on the receiving end, you know, much as you guys have been on some of the censorship here, which is just repugnant to me, you know, who's deciding what right and wrong is on some of these issues we've debated over the past couple years, which we won't bring up because we're going to be banned on some of the platforms, ironically.

01:24:31.000 But I have introduced legislation that would make these social media platforms culpable and subject to being sued by citizens in Pennsylvania if that passes.

01:24:40.000 Obviously, I'll sign it into law.

01:24:42.000 They cannot screen speech that they just don't simply like.

01:24:46.000 do I get my thoughts are that we need to force these companies to free their

01:24:50.000 software code so that other developers can pick up like a copy of Twitter and

01:24:54.000 launch their own Twitter that they then interoperate because if you start

01:24:58.000 telling private companies what they have to do it feels like fascist like it's

01:25:01.000 like I don't want the government but but if people don't like Twitter's terms of

01:25:05.000 service because they're getting banned they go to the other Twitter and then

01:25:07.000 they can still view you you've swayed me halfway in Excellent.

01:25:12.000 I don't agree with this idea of... So here's how I view it.

01:25:15.000 You free the software code.

01:25:16.000 Basically, you make the code for the program available to everybody to make their own.

01:25:19.000 I don't like that.

01:25:20.000 It's kind of like, if you build something, then someone's allowed to copy off your work, and that's like an IP and copyright thing.

01:25:26.000 However, I still think freeing the code is something we probably have to do because of the algorithms.

01:25:31.000 Yeah.

01:25:31.000 Because we don't know how Facebook is experimenting on us, and we know they do.

01:25:35.000 This was a big story.

01:25:36.000 Facebook actually was experimenting on people.

01:25:38.000 They were purposefully sending happy content and hurtful content to people to see how they would react, and sure enough, when they flooded someone's feed with depressing content, they became depressed.

01:25:49.000 That is psychotic.

01:25:50.000 Well, they were launching psychological experiments on unsuspecting users who didn't know that they were participating in a program that manipulated the algorithm to see how they could manipulate their emotions.

01:26:00.000 So that's some larger psychological warfare that's happening that, of course, they're seeing what they could get away with.

01:26:05.000 They're seeing how far they could manipulate a human being.

01:26:08.000 If you can make someone feel sad, you can make someone believe a particular idea, that's godlike power and authority that I think should be absolutely put in check.

01:26:17.000 And I kind of agree with Tim more than I do with Ian, because we need to understand what's happening behind the scenes.

01:26:23.000 What is in the algorithm?

01:26:24.000 Who's being promoted?

01:26:25.000 Who's being demoted?

01:26:26.000 Who's getting a fair share of viewership?

01:26:28.000 Ideas are being shared, which ideas are being censored, and more importantly, make the code of conduct simple and enforceable.

01:26:35.000 Don't make it vague, don't make it general, don't punish people, don't delete their livelihood, don't take them away from the market of ideas just because they expressed an idea, and you're gonna use an overall vague term in order to destroy their ability to communicate?

01:26:48.000 That is draconian, that is evil, and a lot of these companies have ties to governments, ties to intelligence agencies, especially with their start, So how do you tackle that as a governor?

01:26:57.000 That's a hard question.

01:26:59.000 And there's not an easy solution to that.

01:27:01.000 Ian, I mean, it's a tough one.

01:27:03.000 We want to protect free speech, clearly.

01:27:06.000 We want to have a free exchange of ideas.

01:27:07.000 And we've been clamped down on so many areas.

01:27:09.000 I'm not going to even mention all the topics.

01:27:11.000 People know what they are.

01:27:12.000 But at what point You know, when they start threatening violence and what have you, as we've seen before.

01:27:17.000 You know, who determines where the line is?

01:27:19.000 I mean, it was so much easier when we were growing up.

01:27:21.000 I mean, free speech.

01:27:23.000 If you said something to someone that they didn't like, you duke it out, you just punch each other, you know, then it's resolved on the spot.

01:27:29.000 For instance, Ethan Klein just got banned off YouTube, a seven-day ban or something, for saying that he thought Ben Shapiro should be more gassed I think. Well if there was, he said if there is

01:27:38.000 another kind of holocaust that he hopes that gets the first one. And it was 0.99

01:27:43.000 a joke but it was a very poorly veiled joke and it was sort of like not a direct call to

01:27:49.000 violence. It's not illegal because it's not um you know what do they call it when it's like you

01:27:53.000 need a time and a place you know.

01:27:55.000 You say, it should happen on this time, in this place.

01:27:57.000 That's illegal.

01:27:58.000 That's imminent.

01:27:59.000 It wasn't an imminent threat, but these veiled threats are enough for social media companies a lot of times in their terms to be like, that's not allowed here.

01:28:06.000 I don't agree.

01:28:06.000 I think it's First Amendment protected speech.

01:28:09.000 It is violent.

01:28:10.000 It can incite violence though, so that's a problem.

01:28:12.000 Well, look, I want to just address this one just a little bit.

01:28:15.000 We didn't get into it, but I don't think Ethan Klein should have been suspended.

01:28:19.000 I even said it the other day when we went over the comments in the first place, but the fact that he's trying to claim it's a joke, it's like, dude, come on.

01:28:26.000 You should have said it was a joke after he said it, right in the same breath, man, if you're gonna do a joke like that.

01:28:31.000 He said it first.

01:28:31.000 He said it was a joke before he was even allowed to say it, before his team, like, immediately kind of shut him down, so.

01:28:36.000 Yeah, right, but my point is, like, when you hate someone and insult them and rag on them, no one's gonna accept it as a joke.

01:28:42.000 It's just not... Like, if I came out and said something like that about AOC, I'm just kidding, man!

01:28:48.000 Come on, dude.

01:28:49.000 We're heavily critical of her. 0.99

01:28:50.000 I called her a con artist and a grifter repeatedly today. 1.00

01:28:53.000 I wish her nothing but happiness and a long life because I don't want pain, suffering, and violence.

01:28:59.000 So I'm not gonna even joke about it, but who would accept it anyway?

01:29:02.000 What was it?

01:29:02.000 There used to be like FCC regulations that you couldn't go on ABC News and say something like that?

01:29:07.000 Yes.

01:29:07.000 And now the FCC doesn't... What's that?

01:29:10.000 I think a lot of the restrictions on the media have been lifted, have been, like, rules have been changed that's allowing a lot more of this garbage.

01:29:19.000 So we had a FCC would say like, yeah, it's legal, but it's not allowed on the network.

01:29:23.000 But now there's no, it's not allowed on the network talking.

01:29:26.000 It's up to these private companies instead of the FCC.

01:29:29.000 It's definitely a legal, it's legal to do it, but whether or not it's righteous, I don't know, or justified or any of that.

01:29:38.000 I err on the side of free speech personally.

01:29:40.000 But you know, if you say, well, someone rid me of this priest, you know, that's, and then the priest gets killed.

01:29:47.000 Yeah, I don't think you should... I don't think that should be banned.

01:29:49.000 I don't think what Ethan Klein said should get him banned.

01:29:52.000 I think we should all get to hear it and then be like, wow, that was gross, you know?

01:29:55.000 But if he thinks it's a joke and he thinks it's funny, that's fine.

01:29:58.000 I kind of think that...

01:30:00.000 You know, look, people are allowed to tell jokes.

01:30:02.000 I'm not going to get a comedian fired because he said jokes I don't like.

01:30:05.000 I'm just going to be like, you know, watch something else.

01:30:07.000 That's the thing.

01:30:08.000 I don't think they understand.

01:30:09.000 Right now, Ethan's, you know, attacking or being very critical of Ben Shapiro because Ben said, if another Holocaust happens, I hope Ethan and his family escape, but that's just me. 0.87

01:30:18.000 And then he's like, you know, these fascists, they don't get it, blah, blah, blah.

01:30:21.000 And I'm like, dude, When the people on the left say that we should ban comedians, censor people, and shut them down, that's extremism.

01:30:27.000 That's authoritarianism.

01:30:29.000 I don't think y'all should be banned, because it's simple.

01:30:30.000 I'm an adult, and I'll be like, I'll watch something else.

01:30:33.000 A comedian, he's not funny because he says mean things about me?

01:30:36.000 It's like, okay, I'll just watch something else.

01:30:37.000 I co-founded Minds, the social network Minds, and it's basically First Amendment.

01:30:42.000 It's whatever's legal in Connecticut is legal on the site.

01:30:46.000 You have weird rules like spam, which don't exist in the Constitution, that you gotta kinda make...

01:30:52.000 But yeah, there's interesting things.

01:30:55.000 Doxxing, for instance.

01:30:56.000 Yes.

01:30:57.000 That's First Amendment protected, but I don't think it should be allowed.

01:30:59.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:31:00.000 That's a challenge, though, then, right?

01:31:02.000 Because if you want to uphold the First Amendment, people are allowed to hold up your address on a placard.

01:31:06.000 I mean, the white pages used to do it.

01:31:08.000 Now we try to keep it a little bit more private.

01:31:09.000 So what do you do?

01:31:12.000 I just think there's one rule.

01:31:15.000 I'm like, yeah, doxing.

01:31:16.000 We can ban that.

01:31:18.000 Definitely on a slippery slope here.

01:31:19.000 And it's happened so quickly to us since 2020.

01:31:21.000 This is why I like the idea of freeing the code, because I want to leave the decision up to the network creators of if they want to ban doxing on their network or not.

01:31:32.000 We just got to find where free the code doesn't mean like give out your IP and all the intellectual property you've actually done in writing that code.

01:31:38.000 There has to be a line where it depends on what kind of business you are, I think.

01:31:43.000 I think it depends on what kind of, you know, we've talked about this too with like whether Twitter is a platform or whether it's publishing this information.

01:31:50.000 It has to be discussed.

01:31:50.000 I don't know.

01:31:51.000 It has to be worked out.

01:31:52.000 It should be a platform.

01:31:53.000 It should be like a phone company.

01:31:55.000 And the tweets should be on me.

01:31:57.000 Have nothing to do with Twitter.

01:31:58.000 That's why we need to... I hope when Elon buys this, I hope he just decentralizes the whole thing.

01:32:03.000 And just says, like, I no longer have the ability to ban anybody.

01:32:06.000 Bye.

01:32:07.000 Have a nice day.

01:32:08.000 That'd be fantastic.

01:32:10.000 He'd definitely make Twitter great again.

01:32:13.000 Well, I think one of the challenges to be realistic is, you know, people can create fake accounts and then spam the platform with garbage.

01:32:19.000 And they can do illegal stuff, too.

01:32:22.000 Well, that's the cop's problem.

01:32:24.000 But if you're a network owner and someone puts something illegal up and you don't immediately remove it, you're complicit in... Decentralizes it, like I said.

01:32:32.000 If Elon removes his ability by putting Twitter out as a decentralized system, And he just says, Twitter no longer has the ability to ban accounts.

01:32:42.000 Like, it's hosted on other servers and people can host their own servers.

01:32:45.000 He, like, federates it or something.

01:32:46.000 Yeah, then it's that person.

01:32:47.000 Yeah.

01:32:48.000 Then the police can go to you.

01:32:50.000 I mean, look, dude, if you go out in the street and stand, if you go into a hotel and start screaming racist things, they're not going to come and shut down the hotel.

01:32:57.000 Yeah, that'd be great.

01:32:58.000 Like, oh, the hotel is hosting this offensive speech.

01:33:01.000 Let's say you go in there and incite violence.

01:33:03.000 It's not going to go in the hotel and be like, well, you know, it was in your space, so you're in trouble.

01:33:06.000 No, they're going to arrest you.

01:33:07.000 Yeah.

01:33:08.000 So that's the way it should be.

01:33:09.000 If you go on Twitter and you say this stuff, Twitter should be like, help, police.

01:33:13.000 There's a guy on our platform inciting violence and committing crimes.

01:33:17.000 Yeah, that's how Mines does it right now.

01:33:18.000 Oh, yeah, man.

01:33:18.000 There you go.

01:33:19.000 Simple as that.

01:33:19.000 Good.

01:33:20.000 Good to hear that.

01:33:21.000 All right, how about this?

01:33:22.000 Let's go to Super Chats.

01:33:36.000 We have those up Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m.

01:33:38.000 We're not going to have one for you tonight, unfortunately.

01:33:40.000 We don't have enough time, and we're just strapped, so my apologies there.

01:33:44.000 But we've got a huge library, a ton of really, really awesome people, and we just put out a really funny episode of Cast Castles.

01:33:50.000 You'll want to check that one out.

01:33:51.000 And share the show if you like it, be the notification, help us get past that censorship.

01:33:54.000 Let's read some Super Chats. 0.87

01:33:55.000 We got Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:33:57.000 He says, Doug, I never realized how big of a deal PA is in the grand scheme of things with elections.

01:34:02.000 Sir, when you win, please be level-headed for many of us just want someone who cares about the people.

01:34:08.000 He will.

01:34:10.000 I will keep an eye on him.

01:34:11.000 I think that speaks to motive, which I already went over here.

01:34:16.000 Could have run it off in the sunset.

01:34:17.000 Comfortable retirement.

01:34:18.000 Colonel, strategist, author, professor of the War College.

01:34:22.000 All the credentials I needed to do easy things in life.

01:34:25.000 What do you think Shapiro's motivation is?

01:34:27.000 Of power.

01:34:28.000 He wants to be the first Jewish president of the United States.

01:34:30.000 He said that.

01:34:32.000 Oh wow.

01:34:32.000 It's not me saying that.

01:34:33.000 So that's not an anti-semitic remark. 1.00

01:34:34.000 Let's see how stupid things have gotten. 0.97

01:34:36.000 The mere fact that I point out that I'm a big advocate of school choice, obviously. 0.99

01:34:41.000 $20,000 a year we're spending on per student in Pennsylvania and you can't pick.

01:34:45.000 You're doomed to a zip code.

01:34:47.000 In Philadelphia, why are you voting Democrat?

01:34:49.000 You're stuck in that school and your kids are, you know, flailing.

01:34:52.000 But the mere fact that I point out that He's forced school choice for himself and is able to afford a very expensive school, about $30,000 to $40,000 per kid for kids, and that becomes anti-Semitic. 0.54

01:35:03.000 That's how ridiculous the media has become in America, and in Pennsylvania specifically. 0.96

01:35:08.000 They've become ridiculous. 0.99

01:35:09.000 Let's have a debate. 0.92

01:35:10.000 Let's talk about school choice and why, for the Obamas, he could afford a very expensive school for his daughters in Washington, D.C., but what about the rest of the kids in Washington, D.C.?

01:35:21.000 Why don't they have that same right to choose a school?

01:35:24.000 This is the reason why he won't debate you.

01:35:26.000 This is why many of these leftists won't come on a show like this.

01:35:28.000 It's because we won't pull a gotcha.

01:35:30.000 We'll simply ask, hey, how come these people are opposed to school choice, but they send their kids to these expensive charter schools and private schools?

01:35:38.000 And they'll... no answer.

01:35:41.000 Because the way I see it is, you've got a poor kid in Chicago in a crummy zip code.

01:35:46.000 With school choice, they can go to the really nice areas and go to the nice school.

01:35:49.000 That's right.

01:35:50.000 The only person who would have a problem with that is going to be a wealthy individual who thinks they're better off and should be.

01:35:56.000 That's what we're seeing.

01:35:57.000 The Democratic Party has become the party of the wealthy.

01:35:59.000 And you know, Tulsi Gabbard's speech that she can no longer be part of this elite cabal of the Democratic Party exactly says that.

01:36:05.000 Did you have something there?

01:36:06.000 No, I'm just going to say.

01:36:08.000 And the thing is, it's not the average Democrat.

01:36:11.000 It's sadly an elite class.

01:36:14.000 And sadly, there are elite Republicans too.

01:36:17.000 So the bluest of bluest areas in our state is Philadelphia.

01:36:17.000 Oh yeah.

01:36:21.000 That's as blue as you can get Democrat-wise.

01:36:24.000 But despite that, 88% of the parents agree with me on school choice and disagree with Josh Shapiro.

01:36:30.000 They want school choice.

01:36:32.000 We got Nunya Business.

01:36:32.000 Let's read some more.

01:36:33.000 He says, Tim, do you read superchats starting from the beginning of the stream or starting from the point during the stream at which you start reading superchats?

01:36:38.000 From the beginning.

01:36:39.000 So once we go to superchats, I go back to the beginning of all the chats and then start going through them.

01:36:45.000 DestinyTroll says, Bring back Seamus! 0.65

01:36:47.000 Seamus for president 2024.

01:36:48.000 Oh, and a little shamrock.

01:36:50.000 Yeah, Seamus disappeared.

01:36:52.000 Yeah, you don't have to bring him back.

01:36:53.000 It's fine.

01:36:54.000 He reappeared on Twitter last night to confirm that it was him that made that quote from Jezebel.

01:36:58.000 I don't know if you guys saw.

01:37:00.000 They misquoted me.

01:37:00.000 Leftist media attributed a quote from Catholic conservative Seamus to Ian, who is... Just wants to legalize weed in Pennsylvania.

01:37:07.000 How about you guys?

01:37:08.000 How do you feel about legalizing pot?

01:37:10.000 Not for recreational use.

01:37:11.000 It's medically legal right now?

01:37:13.000 It is medically legal right now.

01:37:14.000 And let me back up the argument, because obviously you're libertarian, I presume, yes?

01:37:18.000 I don't know, sometimes.

01:37:20.000 Depends on the situation.

01:37:21.000 Leftist authoritarian.

01:37:21.000 Yeah, right.

01:37:22.000 And labels are always dangerous anyway, because we're all free thinkers.

01:37:26.000 But I looked at what happened in Washington State, Oregon, New Mexico, and Colorado, and they were promised great revenues with taxation, but we've seen actually a 30% increase in crimes, gateways, all the stuff we were warned about actually came true in those four states I just mentioned.

01:37:40.000 So I've been studying the topic there, so I'm not for recreational use.

01:37:46.000 We'll read some more.

01:37:46.000 I think, actually, that was a super chat.

01:37:48.000 Someone asked that.

01:37:49.000 Azalea Primrose says, Russian doesn't need to fire nukes at us. 0.99

01:37:53.000 They will label them fentanyl and walk them across the border.

01:37:56.000 Bet some are already here.

01:37:57.000 Scary stuff.

01:37:58.000 I mean, that's an interesting point, too.

01:38:00.000 People are very scared of conventional warfare when the reality is our porous border and our weak military.

01:38:08.000 It very well may be that Russia, we had one guy on say Russia will release a bioweapon.

01:38:13.000 Or how about China just sends opiates over the border?

01:38:15.000 That's what they've been doing, right?

01:38:17.000 Oh, they already do, man.

01:38:17.000 They're putting so much over the border in California.

01:38:19.000 We're the fourth highest in fentanyl deaths in a nation.

01:38:21.000 12 to 15 Pennsylvanians are dying a day.

01:38:24.000 I believe it.

01:38:24.000 And Josh Shapiro's doing nothing about it.

01:38:26.000 And most of it's coming from China.

01:38:29.000 Alright, The Hazmat 221 says, Tim, long time listener, I took your advice to heart and I got a 74 acre parcel in PA after fleeing New Jersey to live off grid with my newly wed wife.

01:38:39.000 We don't want PA to become the next New Jersey and support Doug wholeheartedly.

01:38:42.000 PA needs him.

01:38:44.000 That's awesome.

01:38:45.000 74 acres.

01:38:45.000 Wow.

01:38:48.000 Welcome.

01:38:48.000 You know, that's a beautiful thing.

01:38:50.000 I'm so pleased to read that.

01:38:51.000 You know, you left New Jersey because of failed Democrat policies and you're coming to a state that needs to be Republican and free and not bring in those failed politics with you.

01:39:00.000 Do you guys have animals?

01:39:02.000 Chickens?

01:39:02.000 Goats?

01:39:03.000 We do.

01:39:03.000 We're cat people.

01:39:06.000 We like dogs, too.

01:39:07.000 But yeah, we're not allowed to have other animals.

01:39:10.000 Oh, okay.

01:39:10.000 So you don't have chickens?

01:39:11.000 No.

01:39:12.000 We're actually not allowed in the... We're next to a state forest, and so they limit, sadly, in our housing.

01:39:19.000 But our neighbors are turkeys and deer.

01:39:21.000 Yeah, we do.

01:39:22.000 And bear.

01:39:23.000 We have bear on our front porch sometimes.

01:39:25.000 Wow.

01:39:25.000 That sounds actually kind of scary.

01:39:28.000 But you're armed, right?

01:39:29.000 Of course.

01:39:31.000 And then it's all right.

01:39:32.000 We had a bear come on our front porch last winter.

01:39:35.000 I think it was desperate.

01:39:36.000 And it tried ripping... So we have Chicken City.

01:39:39.000 I don't know if you saw.

01:39:39.000 It's the big chicken coop.

01:39:40.000 We had a smaller one.

01:39:42.000 And we came out one day and the metal had been pulled, but it didn't get in because we did triple layer.

01:39:47.000 But we had on camera a bear was trying to break in and get the chickens.

01:39:50.000 Did you guys see that video of the hiker that the bear attacked and like dove at the guy and he threw it like over his shoulder?

01:39:56.000 I mean, have you seen this video?

01:39:58.000 Yeah, I just saw it today.

01:40:01.000 That was insane.

01:40:01.000 And the bear kept coming back.

01:40:03.000 Yeah.

01:40:04.000 Stop! 1.00

01:40:04.000 It's like a horror movie. 1.00

01:40:06.000 All right, let's read this one from a name I can't read.

01:40:09.000 He says, Tim, I was going to become a $1,000 a month member for the next 84 years, but then I read Jezebel about Ian being a conservative, so I decided not to.

01:40:17.000 Oh, well, that's 84,000.

01:40:17.000 What is that, $1,000?

01:40:17.000 So what's 12,000 times 84?

01:40:18.000 That's a lot of money.

01:40:18.000 That's a lot of thousands.

01:40:20.000 That's about 950,000.

01:40:20.000 Is that 10 million?

01:40:21.000 Yeah, I think it's closer to 1 million.

01:40:22.000 12,000 times 84 that's a lot of money. Yeah, it's a lot of thousands. That's about nine hundred ten million thousand

01:40:29.000 Yeah, I think it's closer to 1 million 1 million Clayton Johnston says IRS already making claims about owing for previous years.

01:40:32.000 Maybe I'm doing the math wrong.

01:40:33.000 12,000 times 84, is that a million?

01:40:36.000 No, that's like 100.

01:40:37.000 That's like 1 million.

01:40:38.000 $1 million.

01:40:39.000 Oh man, we lost a million bucks.

01:40:41.000 Yeah, there it is.

01:40:42.000 All right.

01:40:43.000 All right.

01:40:44.000 Clayton Johnston says IRS already making claims about owing for previous years.

01:40:48.000 I just got my letter a couple days ago saying I owe them more more for 2020 voting red in

01:40:53.000 PA.

01:40:54.000 See, this is what people don't understand when the Biden administration, the Democrats

01:40:58.000 are bringing on these these IRS agents.

01:41:00.000 We get a conservative talking point.

01:41:01.000 They're going to start auditing poor people.

01:41:03.000 And I said, no, they aren't. 0.98

01:41:04.000 That's ridiculous. 0.73

01:41:05.000 They're not going to audit you. 0.98

01:41:06.000 They're just going to come and bill you.

01:41:07.000 They don't need you to justify why you owe them money.

01:41:11.000 They're just going to say, you owe us the money.

01:41:13.000 I hope regular people recognize that.

01:41:15.000 Because this is what Clayton's saying.

01:41:18.000 I see this personally.

01:41:19.000 My family sees it.

01:41:21.000 You will one day get a letter in the mail and it'll say you owe us 75 bucks.

01:41:24.000 And you'll go, for what?

01:41:25.000 And it's not going to tell you.

01:41:27.000 You just got to pay it up.

01:41:28.000 Congratulations.

01:41:29.000 They're coming for you.

01:41:31.000 They're taxing you, man.

01:41:32.000 It's going to happen.

01:41:34.000 All right.

01:41:35.000 Let's see what we got here.

01:41:38.000 Mike, okay, Mr. Hunt, first name Mike, nice try, says, how are we just watching the U.S.

01:41:43.000 enter an era of World War III holodomor scenario and not seriously considering seceding from blue states?

01:41:49.000 Why can't you and other media entities actively as a group start a movement for statewide peaceful secession?

01:41:55.000 Well, we know, I know Luke's talked about peaceful divorce.

01:41:58.000 I know Michael Malice has.

01:42:00.000 But I think we're trying as desperately as possible to not have that happen.

01:42:05.000 And we're hoping that with like a midterm and then 2024 election, we can actually just win a culture war and stop the country from falling apart.

01:42:12.000 interject something. So during the shutdown a lot of people would get very

01:42:15.000 aggravated and actually say some you know pretty potentially violent things

01:42:18.000 about how frustrated they were with the government and then I would ask them the

01:42:21.000 question like well did you vote in the last election? No.

01:42:24.000 Did you vote in the presidential? No. I'm like then you're part of the problem.

01:42:27.000 So secession is I'm going to say it's a ridiculous idea.

01:42:31.000 We resolved this at the ballot box, and let's do it this way.

01:42:34.000 Go out and vote, and be active.

01:42:36.000 And if you're really that serious about it, and it sounds like he's pretty passionate about it, then volunteer for a campaign, donate to a campaign, or maybe run for office yourself instead of talking so bombastically.

01:42:46.000 Well, personally, I think secession is a great idea when you see it from a point of view of decentralization, from the point of view of how the Amish have done it, from the point of view of individuals taking personal responsibility for themselves.

01:42:59.000 We might be at odds here, but that's how I see it, and I think it's a great idea that we should strive for on an independent, local level.

01:43:05.000 You mentioned a convention of states, too.

01:43:07.000 How does that work?

01:43:08.000 Is that between governors or between state legislations?

01:43:10.000 That would be through state legislators selecting representatives to represent a state in a convention of states.

01:43:16.000 And obviously, it's coming out of the conservative movement, but there's also fears on the Second Amendment side that that could be a runaway convention that could start infringing upon our rights, and that might be another way to circumvent the constitutional process.

01:43:29.000 You know, individually, the Amish still pay their taxes, they still obey our laws and what have you.

01:43:33.000 Even though they have their own schools, they still have to pay school tax to, you know, that seems ridiculous.

01:43:39.000 But a fracturing at the greater level, like I'm thinking 1861, I don't want, maybe, you know, without the conflict, but I don't want to see that happen to our country.

01:43:48.000 We're better off as a United States of America.

01:43:50.000 Yeah, we just gotta win.

01:43:52.000 People need to get out and vote.

01:43:54.000 It's still to this day, Doug, elections in Pennsylvania are compromised.

01:43:57.000 I don't know if we're going to go.

01:43:58.000 Are you kidding me?

01:43:59.000 That's exactly what Democrats want you to do.

01:44:01.000 They want you to stay home.

01:44:03.000 There's so many Republicans that don't vote.

01:44:05.000 The Inquirer actually wrote an article.

01:44:07.000 They're concerned.

01:44:08.000 They're seeing this red wave of Rebbi and I traveling across the state and getting into massive crowds in rural counties.

01:44:12.000 And they're like, wow, if those Republicans actually go out and vote, Massachusetts is going to win.

01:44:16.000 So, yes, get out and vote.

01:44:18.000 And go knock on your neighbor's doors.

01:44:20.000 Yes.

01:44:20.000 Call your friends.

01:44:21.000 Call your family and say, we got to do this.

01:44:24.000 And take the Amish to the polls. 0.99

01:44:26.000 That's right.

01:44:27.000 Drive them to the polls.

01:44:28.000 We have a lot, a lot of support in the Amish community.

01:44:31.000 We do.

01:44:32.000 All right, we got Morgan Mogus.

01:44:34.000 He says, hey Tim, big fan of the show.

01:44:35.000 If Josh Shapiro keeps avoiding Doug's debate calls, he should debate Mises Caucus Libertarian candidate Matt Hackenberg instead.

01:44:42.000 It would really make Josh look cowardly.

01:44:45.000 There's a lot of people, here's my first thoughts on this question.

01:44:47.000 Obviously a lot of people who are Libertarians, we have a lot of Mises Caucus and Libertarian friends, they want to be contenders in this.

01:44:54.000 They want to make sure people recognize them.

01:44:56.000 And so I see a lot of people being like, you know, you should debate the Libertarian.

01:44:59.000 But they actually make an interesting point here that I thought.

01:45:02.000 It really would make Josh Shapiro look cowardly if you excluded him and the conversation shifted away from Democrats into something totally different, you know what I mean?

01:45:11.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

01:45:12.000 Or just simply put it, like, you're hosting a debate for the governorship, and everyone's invited who's running for governor!

01:45:18.000 And would you debate a libertarian candidate?

01:45:21.000 Yeah, I'd debate anyone.

01:45:22.000 I mean, we have a green candidate out there, I don't know why we're not talking about her as well.

01:45:25.000 Who's that?

01:45:26.000 I don't have her name handy, but she made it on the ballot, and she's a viable alternative to Josh Shapiro, that's for sure, if you want to vote red.

01:45:32.000 Yeah, we were talking with some of the, you know, I think it was when Dave Smith was here, he's a Mises Caucus guy, and we're good friends, we're big fans, but I gotta say, look man, I don't view the new MAGA Republican America First types as the lesser of two evils the way I viewed the establishment Republican Party.

01:45:53.000 I certainly don't agree with everything the Republican Party has to offer, But there's a handful of Republicans where I'm like, yeah, they're actually pretty good.

01:45:59.000 School choice is a good thing.

01:46:00.000 Like, I agree with these things.

01:46:01.000 They don't want war.

01:46:01.000 I'm like, you won me over with that.

01:46:03.000 You want school choice.

01:46:04.000 I actually see an opportunity now within the Republican Party with many candidates to actually get some good people in.

01:46:11.000 I think the Republicans got to do a lot to get rid of that old guard garbage, you know, establishment stuff.

01:46:18.000 But, you know, to our libertarian friends, the risk that everyone sees is Are you going to split the vote?

01:46:25.000 Is it going to end up hurting everybody if we try and go for the cream of the crop utopian vision?

01:46:31.000 Or do we say, hey look, we got some pretty good guys right here.

01:46:35.000 I don't know man, I don't have any answers.

01:46:36.000 That's tough.

01:46:37.000 And that's hurt us before.

01:46:38.000 The reason why, and whatever we think of Bush the elder is irrelevant to my point, but Perot came in and he ensured a Clinton victory, which began a transition in our country culturally.

01:46:49.000 I do think it would be hilarious, and I understand the political challenge, but it would be hilarious if you guys just organized the governorship debate and put his podium up there and just... there you go.

01:47:00.000 We could have a cutout of him.

01:47:03.000 We could even make him, you know, a little bigger than life, if that helps.

01:47:07.000 I mean look, you invite the Green Party candidate too, let them represent the left, and then be like, why is he refusing to show up and actually speak to you?

01:47:16.000 I don't think you'd mention him at that point, just call up the 2022 Pennsylvania Governor of the Bay, whoever comes.

01:47:21.000 Invite everyone who's running officially on the ballot.

01:47:24.000 I promise Josh Shapiro he could bring Donna Brazile with him, who of course cheated famously in 2016, gave Hillary all the questions before the debate. 0.88

01:47:32.000 I'll even give him a box to stand on so he looks taller.

01:47:34.000 It's okay Josh, I'll see you on the debate floor man.

01:47:36.000 Do you guys know each other personally?

01:47:38.000 Not at all.

01:47:39.000 We saw him one time and he skirted away from us up in Erie.

01:47:42.000 Oh wow.

01:47:44.000 Alright, let's see what we can grab here.

01:47:47.000 Teddy here says, 3rd ID, 123rd Signal Battalion, Echo Company, 98-99, Godspeed, Mastriano, voice of the Marn.

01:47:55.000 Marnie?

01:47:57.000 Did we overlap?

01:47:58.000 Yeah, we overlapped.

01:47:58.000 I was in 3rd Infantry Division, Division Artillery from 1997?

01:48:02.000 No, 98.

01:48:02.000 98 to 2000.

01:48:02.000 1997 no 98 98 to 2000. Yeah, is that some kind of MK ultra activation code?

01:48:10.000 That's what I'm getting from it.

01:48:11.000 I'm like, I'm a civilian.

01:48:12.000 I don't know what you guys are saying there, but I'm concerned.

01:48:15.000 We're rocking the Marne because in 1918 when the Germans broke through the French lines, my unit stood like a rock on the Marne River and stopped them.

01:48:23.000 Wow.

01:48:24.000 All right, Isaac Glover Show says, can Mr. Mastriano please consider joining the new Trump administration in 2024 if he loses his governor's race?

01:48:32.000 Also can't wait to see Carrie Lake win. 1.00

01:48:35.000 We're going to win bigly at the borough from Donald Trump.

01:48:38.000 But thank you for thinking so much in me.

01:48:41.000 Yeah, and also Carrie Lake, man. 1.00

01:48:43.000 I've seen more and more of her videos.

01:48:44.000 I really think she could be president. 1.00

01:48:47.000 She's fantastic.

01:48:48.000 Look, I have tremendous respect for anybody who can come here and sit and have a conversation with us.

01:48:52.000 You know, because some people, a lot of politicians, they can't even debate.

01:48:57.000 Yeah.

01:48:57.000 It's like, do you really have ideas?

01:48:58.000 If you don't know anything about those ideas, you can't back them up.

01:49:01.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:49:02.000 I don't know, man.

01:49:02.000 Look, I can disagree with you or anybody else, but as long as you know why you think something, I'll be like, OK, well, you know, you know, you mentioned some things on the show about your policies, and I'm like, I actually don't know enough to refute what you're saying.

01:49:14.000 I'm not going to argue about something I don't know just for the sake of politics.

01:49:17.000 So at least, you know, there you go.

01:49:19.000 Well, thank you for being a decent journalist in that regard there.

01:49:22.000 Yeah, you know, we all deal with how they lie all day and night.

01:49:27.000 I mean, like we were mentioning, they called Ian Crosland a conservative commentator.

01:49:31.000 They call me a conservative and, like, none of it is just, it's just meaningless.

01:49:34.000 They call all of us conservatives.

01:49:35.000 It's like, that's just nonsense.

01:49:37.000 I mean, anybody who's ever heard anything out of Ian's mouth would laugh at the idea of him being called a conservative.

01:49:41.000 So, Ian, what happened?

01:49:42.000 What caused that?

01:49:43.000 I think I've been tilting conservative since I've been here.

01:49:46.000 No, they thought I was Seamus Coghlan.

01:49:48.000 They quoted a different guy and thought that I was the one that said it.

01:49:51.000 On the show!

01:49:51.000 I don't know.

01:49:52.000 It's like they got an AI transcript of it.

01:49:54.000 They don't do the work.

01:49:55.000 They don't do the work.

01:49:56.000 It's a Google search.

01:49:57.000 I don't know.

01:49:58.000 I think of myself as liberally conservative or conservatively liberal.

01:50:01.000 Now, if they're getting your name wrong, imagine what else they're getting wrong in all the articles that they put out there.

01:50:08.000 All right.

01:50:10.000 Ashley B. Yo says, first super chat, super pumped to see Mastriano.

01:50:14.000 No notification tonight on here.

01:50:15.000 I live right outside of Scranton.

01:50:16.000 Big props for coming on and God bless.

01:50:18.000 Nice.

01:50:19.000 This is what, you know, these are the kind of shows that we need more of.

01:50:24.000 Not the sound bites you put on the primetime show for five minutes.

01:50:27.000 Long form.

01:50:28.000 It's really hard to lay out a solid policy position in five minutes or less.

01:50:32.000 It's impossible.

01:50:32.000 I start talking fast because I'm going to squeeze it in.

01:50:35.000 It's like, it doesn't even flow.

01:50:36.000 And I appreciate you guys.

01:50:37.000 The music slowly gets louder and louder.

01:50:39.000 Thanks for coming on.

01:50:41.000 Click!

01:50:43.000 Nick Colanello says, my fiance and I are hoping to have kids in the future.

01:50:47.000 What goals do you have for Pennsylvania's Department of Education in four or five years?

01:50:51.000 Wow, it's gonna be rapid changes because it's our Department of Education that's become very radicalized.

01:50:57.000 We've covered some of the books, you have the books there, and it's disgusting.

01:51:00.000 So we're, on day one, CRT's over.

01:51:03.000 On day one, no more gender pronoun games.

01:51:05.000 This is all 17 January.

01:51:07.000 On day one, we'll be reaffirming parental rights.

01:51:10.000 Did I even have to say that?

01:51:11.000 I kind of choke on it in America.

01:51:12.000 Really?

01:51:13.000 No kidding.

01:51:14.000 And then I'll back all these up with legislation out of the House and Senate.

01:51:16.000 I'm not going to roll by edict, but I'm going to change the culture on day one.

01:51:20.000 I have a Secretary of Education.

01:51:22.000 They'll be focused on education and not indoctrination.

01:51:25.000 That means we need to have all the curriculum posted online for parental review and transparency.

01:51:30.000 The school districts will be ordered to post that.

01:51:33.000 That was a bill, by the way, vetoed by Governor Wolf a couple months ago.

01:51:36.000 Transparency and curriculum.

01:51:38.000 You know, I think the more eyes that are on things, the better off we are, the more accountability for public.

01:51:42.000 We're spending $31 billion a year in Pennsylvania on education.

01:51:46.000 According to a 2020 report from the National Education Association, we are the 12th highest in the nation spending-wise with 28th in quality student before COVID.

01:51:54.000 We're not getting our bang for the buck.

01:51:56.000 And so my goal is actually to do education rather than indoctrination.

01:51:59.000 And history, civics, and constitution need to be brought back.

01:52:03.000 Right on.

01:52:03.000 And that's from a doctor in history, by the way.

01:52:06.000 Oh, that's fantastic.

01:52:07.000 He's taught at the master's degree level, so he cares about education.

01:52:11.000 But I believe in our history and our laws, people need to read the Constitution and study it.

01:52:18.000 Agreed.

01:52:18.000 I see, and you know, granted, you know, I came in with a framework and understanding of the Constitution, but being in the Pennsylvania Senate during the shutdown during COVID was a crash course in the Constitution.

01:52:28.000 I had no idea things were happening so rapidly.

01:52:31.000 And much of it was because of ignorance of the laws and the rules and our basic constitutional rights that people seem to not have a grasp of anymore.

01:52:38.000 Yes, right.

01:52:38.000 It'd be cool if little kids in elementary school learned how to write a bill and pass it with the other kids could vote on it and then change some behavior in the classroom.

01:52:46.000 Or finance!

01:52:47.000 Yeah, write a check.

01:52:47.000 Or we don't write checks too much anyway.

01:52:51.000 Kids not knowing how the financial system or the business or the economy works.

01:52:54.000 Oh yeah, compound interest.

01:52:55.000 Or taxes at all.

01:52:56.000 And that would be so easy to do, to have a mock-up of the House and Senate and the Governor.

01:53:01.000 It's so fun!

01:53:02.000 Well, the good schools have this.

01:53:03.000 You can change roles every few months or every month.

01:53:05.000 That's right.

01:53:06.000 The really expensive private schools have things like this.

01:53:08.000 Class president, stuff like that.

01:53:08.000 That's right.

01:53:11.000 The public schools, they just leave you high and dry.

01:53:13.000 All right, Hexagon Proton says, one of my co-workers used to work in mining and had activists lock themselves to machinery overnight.

01:53:20.000 One day they left them there through the day.

01:53:23.000 Sitting in the sun for nine hours, they didn't return.

01:53:25.000 Did you guys see these?

01:53:27.000 So first there was the two women who threw the tomato soup on the van Gogh. 0.99

01:53:31.000 That's disgusting, yeah.

01:53:32.000 Then they glued their hands to the wall. 0.54

01:53:34.000 Immediately got arrested.

01:53:35.000 I was outraged.

01:53:36.000 They should have left them there.

01:53:37.000 Yeah.

01:53:37.000 You glue yourself to the wall, you become the exhibit.

01:53:40.000 Then, when you gotta go to the bathroom, you can beg for help and we'll say no.

01:53:44.000 Now there's a bunch of scientists, I think it's in Germany, they glued themselves to the floor of this Porsche showroom.

01:53:52.000 And then they got really mad that VW wouldn't give them bedpans.

01:53:58.000 Because they were like, how are we supposed to respectfully defecate now that we've glued ourselves to the floor?

01:54:04.000 And my attitude was like, I don't know.

01:54:07.000 Failure to plan is planning for failure, bro.

01:54:09.000 Personal problem.

01:54:11.000 Should've brought one with them.

01:54:13.000 I love peaceful protest.

01:54:15.000 It's fantastic.

01:54:16.000 America has done great things with peaceful protest.

01:54:19.000 And if you want to peacefully protest, I respect it, but you pay the consequences.

01:54:24.000 You block a street, you get arrested.

01:54:26.000 But you did something that wasn't hurting people in a great degree.

01:54:29.000 I understand there can be problems, like, you know, if a car can't get through and someone loses their job, or there's a lot of problems there.

01:54:34.000 But that's why you get arrested for it.

01:54:36.000 You should block the road.

01:54:37.000 The cops should come and arrest you. 0.55

01:54:39.000 You get the press.

01:54:40.000 Everybody understands.

01:54:41.000 We need some wiggle room with civil disobedience. 1.00

01:54:43.000 That also means, though, if you lock yourself to a door, you better be prepared to crap on the floor. 0.81

01:54:48.000 If you're not thinking about this stuff, I don't want to tell you. 0.96

01:54:52.000 All right.

01:54:53.000 Dylan Lally says, using my first Timcast Super Chat to say one thing to my future governor.

01:54:59.000 Constitutional carry.

01:55:01.000 Oh, yeah.

01:55:02.000 I love it.

01:55:03.000 It's gonna happen.

01:55:04.000 More constitutional carry everywhere.

01:55:05.000 It's amazing looking at the map of the United States and the expansion of constitutional carry.

01:55:09.000 Second Amendment is winning.

01:55:10.000 For a long time, they did not respect it.

01:55:13.000 A lot of people, Bro Cody said, also ask about constitutional carry.

01:55:16.000 I think we understand you are very much for it.

01:55:19.000 That's what I was curious about.

01:55:22.000 Gen Z says, Doug has my vote, but will he repeal gun laws like permitted carry and fight the feds when they overstep?

01:55:28.000 Already answered it.

01:55:29.000 I actually have a bill in the Senate to do just that.

01:55:33.000 All right.

01:55:34.000 I'm going to read this one.

01:55:34.000 It's a bit more extreme, though.

01:55:36.000 Lima X-Ray says, Will you declare the ATF a terrorist organization like your libertarian opponent, Matt Hackenberg?

01:55:45.000 I don't know if that... I mean, I don't know how you answer that.

01:55:47.000 I like that idea.

01:55:48.000 Yeah.

01:55:49.000 I think my simple answer is I would be for abolishing it.

01:55:53.000 I think the duties they do can easily be handled by any law enforcement already.

01:55:57.000 We don't need... Or create an ATF-free zone.

01:56:01.000 Or make it into a convenience store, even better.

01:56:04.000 Can a governor declare groups as a terrorist group?

01:56:06.000 No.

01:56:08.000 Especially a federal law enforcement agency.

01:56:11.000 I like how you're like, am I supposed to actually answer?

01:56:13.000 I'm still waiting.

01:56:16.000 Well, I mean, I'm sure the Libertarian actually is saying that, but it's like, come on.

01:56:20.000 You know, and that's the thing that drives me crazy about politics.

01:56:22.000 People say anything to get a vote.

01:56:23.000 That's why, you know, the Senate race is interesting and it's a lot about, you know, law and order and crime, as I mentioned before, but there's nothing that they can do about law and order and crime at the state level.

01:56:32.000 That's a state issue anyway.

01:56:35.000 Alright, Pinochet's Helicopter Tour says... I didn't say that!

01:56:37.000 So Tim, you're telling me the guy who smoked shredded parmesan floor cheese has committed

01:56:41.000 459 crimes and the big guy Joe was not involved in one?

01:56:45.000 I didn't say that!

01:56:46.000 I believe he's probably involved in a bunch of them!

01:56:49.000 You know, uh...

01:56:50.000 He did try to smoke parmesan cheese, I do remember that!

01:56:53.000 That's a fact!

01:56:54.000 I mean, but that's sad, man.

01:56:55.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:56:57.000 I feel bad for Hunter.

01:56:58.000 I think he's a bad guy, I think he's done bad things, but hearing a story like that, it's just like... Rock bottom, Parmesan cheese bottom.

01:57:05.000 Yeah, yeah, he was a crack addict.

01:57:08.000 I don't know what he's still doing.

01:57:09.000 And so, in his desperation, he grabbed Parmesan cheese and put it in his pipe, I guess.

01:57:13.000 I mean, look.

01:57:16.000 I don't want to rag on the difficulties faced by an individual, but come on.

01:57:21.000 The Biden family has serious issues, and there's reasons why a person ends up that way.

01:57:26.000 Yeah.

01:57:26.000 You know, I know it's not always true of every parent.

01:57:29.000 Some parents try really hard, and somehow their kids fall into bad stuff.

01:57:31.000 For sure.

01:57:32.000 But, you know, the fact that Hunter Biden was working on stuff related to Joe's work and stuff like that, come on.

01:57:40.000 You gotta be more responsible there.

01:57:43.000 All right, all right.

01:57:44.000 Let's grab some Super Chats.

01:57:45.000 Let's try and find a good one.

01:57:46.000 What do we got?

01:57:48.000 Hopsitup says, Tim and crew, what's your take on businesses being sued for not rendering services to LGBT plus?

01:57:55.000 What if the business would just charge a crazy amount of money for cake, photos, etc?

01:58:00.000 Wouldn't lawsuit not be valid?

01:58:02.000 That's interesting.

01:58:03.000 This is a tough question.

01:58:05.000 I mean, how do you solve for this?

01:58:06.000 You're aware what's going on with the Colorado Baker?

01:58:09.000 Yes.

01:58:11.000 He said he had no problem giving a cake, selling a cake, to a gay wedding. 0.92

01:58:14.000 It's that he didn't want to make a custom message about supporting it.

01:58:18.000 Well, now he's been sued several times.

01:58:19.000 I'm curious, you know, how do you solve for this?

01:58:21.000 Look, the law says you can't discriminate on the basis of, you know, these, these, well, I should say national origin, gender, gender identity.

01:58:29.000 What are your thoughts on this?

01:58:30.000 How do you, how do you, yeah, I don't know.

01:58:32.000 I don't know.

01:58:32.000 How do you solve for that?

01:58:33.000 That's just a tough one.

01:58:34.000 I mean, we've got so many gray areas in our country now.

01:58:38.000 I don't believe that if you have an objection to something, why can't you just say, I'm sorry?

01:58:43.000 And I know in the case of the florist, she recommended another florist for a wedding, and that wasn't good enough.

01:58:50.000 It's not good enough, they want you to do it.

01:58:52.000 This is a dangerous trend here, if you have an objection to something, what happens to your own rights?

01:58:58.000 I wonder if scale is the answer.

01:59:01.000 If it's a small business where it's like one person, you shouldn't be able to bring an action.

01:59:05.000 But if it's like a chain or a dominant business and you can prove that they've monopolized a certain area or something like that, then you can.

01:59:12.000 That might be viable.

01:59:13.000 Like if it's a public corporation?

01:59:15.000 Well, no, I mean like, if you're a single individual who has a storefront selling flowers and you say, I'm not gonna do business with you, it should be like, carry on and move on so you can find flowers anywhere.

01:59:24.000 But if it's Walmart, they shouldn't be able to turn you away because they've dominated and monopolized such a large portion that you can't really go anywhere else.

01:59:31.000 Wow.

01:59:33.000 Can I give a shout out?

01:59:34.000 Josh French served with me in Afghanistan.

01:59:36.000 Josh, I love you, brother.

01:59:37.000 Oh, he says, those that Colonel Mastrano respect him.

01:59:41.000 Those that don't know him should.

01:59:42.000 Oh, those that know him respect him.

01:59:43.000 Those who don't should. 0.99

01:59:46.000 I love you, man.

01:59:46.000 He was a great member of our team in Afghanistan.

01:59:49.000 Right on.

01:59:50.000 Oh, yeah.

01:59:52.000 All right.

01:59:53.000 Let's see.

01:59:54.000 Let's try and find a good one because we only got a little bit of time left.

01:59:58.000 You know, I'll say this just as I'm kind of trying to read and speak at the same time.

02:00:02.000 I do try to find good questions, especially hard ones, but when a good portion of all of the superchats are just outright, love you, big fan, you know, go Mastriano and things like that, it's like, you know, I can't just sit here for 10 minutes trying to find everything.

02:00:18.000 But let's see if we can, I'll just try and make sure I can find one more, just a good one that we can end off with.

02:00:27.000 Otherwise, I'll just grab what I see coming up soon.

02:00:30.000 All right.

02:00:32.000 All right, I'm just going to have to, they're all just big fans of yours.

02:00:35.000 Yeah, they all look like that.

02:00:37.000 Everybody's just being like, Doug, you rock.

02:00:39.000 Can't wait to vote for you.

02:00:42.000 I'm like, where's the person who's got a question about policy?

02:00:44.000 All right.

02:00:45.000 Zero says, Mass General kept me sane during the abuse of power from the Democrats during COVID.

02:00:50.000 Watching his fireside chats gave me hope.

02:00:51.000 Can't wait to vote for you.

02:00:52.000 There it is.

02:00:54.000 Yeah, the one thing I, you know, I know that there was a lot of Q&A sessions with politicians in the past, and they always do pre-screened questions.

02:01:00.000 We don't do that.

02:01:02.000 But at the same time, hey guys, you know, I always try to find good ones, but everybody's just saying they love you, so I guess that's what you get.

02:01:09.000 Love you guys back.

02:01:22.000 Senator Mastriano, do you want to shout anything out?

02:01:25.000 Well, you know what?

02:01:26.000 Pennsylvania is the birthplace of our country.

02:01:28.000 It was founded by William Penn, who, of course, escaped persecution for his own faith.

02:01:33.000 He founded our state with the idea that all men could be free people and live their lives as they saw fit, not as a governor or magistrate or king saw fit.

02:01:42.000 And that shaped our government.

02:01:43.000 I think we have to remember who we are.

02:01:44.000 We are the birthplace of freedom and liberty.

02:01:47.000 We're the same state, of course, where New Birth of Freedom was secured at Gettysburg.

02:01:51.000 And then finally 2001 on 9-11 and that dark day.

02:01:53.000 The only hope was flight 93 and although it had a tragic ending, remember what Todd Beamer said, let's roll.

02:01:58.000 So Pennsylvania and America, let's roll on 8 November.

02:02:01.000 You got a website?

02:02:02.000 Go to DougforGov.com All right.

02:02:05.000 Rebby, you wanted anything to add?

02:02:07.000 Just like to say, you know, we are the Keystone State.

02:02:10.000 So the governor's race is important to all of the USA, because of holding together that that arch, that Keystone holds together the rest.

02:02:22.000 And I really think that the way that Pennsylvania goes is going to be the way the nation goes.

02:02:27.000 Right on.

02:02:28.000 If you guys get elected, I want some PPA cards.

02:02:31.000 Thank you guys for coming on.

02:02:32.000 I didn't always agree with everything, but at least we had the conversation.

02:02:35.000 Thank you so much for that.

02:02:37.000 My YouTube channel and news organization is WeAreChange.org.

02:02:40.000 I did a very in-depth look into the false flag allegations by the United States, a deep dive into some very serious issues.

02:02:46.000 If you want to see that video, you can right now on YouTube.com forward slash WeAreChange.

02:02:51.000 Thank you so much for having me.

02:02:52.000 Good talking to you guys.

02:02:53.000 Good talking.

02:02:53.000 Next time, maybe we'll go deeper on some conspiracy theories.

02:02:56.000 Talking plasma that the military might be using to make us think they're aliens.

02:03:00.000 And I hope to work with you in the governor's office at some point with technology.

02:03:04.000 Now you're talking.

02:03:05.000 He wrote down graphene.

02:03:06.000 Yeah, let's retrofit the economy because people have something to live for and they want to and they will.

02:03:11.000 I'd love Pennsylvania to innovate and lead in that technology.

02:03:14.000 It'd be fantastic.

02:03:15.000 Love you, sir.

02:03:16.000 Love you back.

02:03:16.000 Peace and love.

02:03:17.000 Right on, guys.

02:03:18.000 I think you should check out Cast Castle.

02:03:19.000 It is really funny, by the way, Ian.

02:03:20.000 I watched it today.

02:03:21.000 I don't normally watch it, but it was good.

02:03:22.000 And I also watched your video on YouTube today, because I saw it on my recommendeds, which I got recommended for some stuff, but I guess not TimCast.

02:03:27.000 Oh, Luke got recommendations.

02:03:29.000 All right.

02:03:30.000 Yeah.

02:03:30.000 Moving on up.

02:03:32.000 Yeah, guys, and I am in the chat.

02:03:33.000 That is me, theiamserge.com.

02:03:34.000 You can find me everywhere with that, again.

02:03:36.000 I'm in there with you, commenting, whatever.

02:03:38.000 Yeah, yeah, right.

02:03:39.000 I'm having a lot of fun.

02:03:40.000 That was a good one.

02:03:40.000 See you guys.

02:03:41.000 It'd be funny to do a skit where it's like ten years from now, and it's this futuristic world of flying cars, and Ian's like, you know, a little bit older, and he's looking at a picture of Doug over here, and then he looks up at a statue of him, and it says, he created the first graphene plant, revolutionizing technology, and Ian's like, we did it.

02:04:01.000 We could build a campus where people come and learn to make it with lasers and we'll create a new industry.

02:04:08.000 Right on.

02:04:09.000 Now you're talking.

02:04:10.000 Alright everybody, thanks for hanging out.

02:04:12.000 We're not having a members-only show because we don't really have enough time for it, unfortunately, but I do appreciate all of you who are members who help make it all possible, and we will see you all next time.
