Transcript

00:00:00.000 I'd like to give a congratulations to Mr. Ray Epps on avoiding jail time, despite privately
00:00:13.000 saying he orchestrated January 6th and being seen on camera numerous times advocating people
00:00:17.000 enter the building, which is of course inciting an insurrection by Democrat standards.
00:00:23.000 And then, of course, I'd like to give an honorable mention to Enrique Tarrio for beating the record of Ray Epps by getting 20-plus years in prison despite not even being in D.C.
00:00:32.000 So of course, the internet is rife with individuals accusing Ray Epps of being a Fed, because it makes quite no sense that of all the people that have been charged, some 1,700, many of them have received jail time, and some of them did literally nothing, like walking around.
00:00:49.000 Ray Epps actually was at the front line where they breached the barricade.
00:00:53.000 He was telling people to enter the Capitol premeditated, And he admitted on camera he knew that doing so was a crime he would be arrested for.
00:01:02.000 He gets no jail time, no travel restrictions, a $500 fine, $100 community service.
00:01:05.000 Oh boy!
00:01:08.000 Donald Trump was in court today.
00:01:09.000 His legal team was arguing he's immune unless impeached and convicted.
00:01:14.000 And what's really got all the Democrats quite angry is that his legal team argued, and I would say correctly, that a president could assassinate a political rival and they cannot be criminally charged unless they are impeached and convicted, which makes absolute sense.
00:01:29.000 Of course, the judge just kept saying, you mean this could happen?
00:01:32.000 And the lawyer kept saying, yes, but any reasonable Congress is going to impeach a president who does that.
00:01:38.000 If a president is gauged in official duties, you can't criminally charge him for it, unless Congress deems it to be high crimes and misdemeanors, and the Senate confirms through conviction.
00:01:47.000 And then, of course, ladies and gentlemen, the story that everybody really wants to talk about, but, you know, we're a serious show here.
00:01:53.000 Secret Jewish tunnels.
00:01:55.000 Yeah, there's a video of a Jewish man climbing out of the sidewalk in New York City, and there's a video.
00:01:59.000 And my favorite tweet is, imagine witnessing this happening but not having your phone, and then trying to explain to people that a Jewish man climbed out of the sidewalk from a secret tunnel underground without sounding like an anti-Semite.
00:02:11.000 So this happened.
00:02:11.000 The police showed up.
00:02:12.000 They tried filling in these secret tunnels.
00:02:14.000 Apparently, some of these young Jewish men started fighting with the police.
00:02:18.000 And a dozen or so got arrested.
00:02:20.000 Everybody is wondering, what the is going on there?
00:02:23.000 So we'll talk about that, plus a whole lot more.
00:02:25.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com.
00:02:27.000 If you scroll down, you will see Alex Stein's primetime grind.

00:02:32.000 Ladies and gentlemen, drink responsibly.
00:02:35.000 Drink your coffee responsibly.
00:02:36.000 Two times caffeine's no joke, but we do have it available because some people like a higher caffeine content in their coffee.
00:02:41.000 This new coffee is accompanied by a new commercial, which we have up on X. If you go follow me, at TimCastOnX, you can watch it pinned to my profile, starring Alex Stein.
00:02:51.000 And, uh, you know, just don't freebase coffee and don't snort coffee, but just drink.
00:02:58.000 Actually, just drink your coffee responsibly.
00:02:59.000 But watch the commercial, it's a whole lot of fun.
00:03:02.000 And by buying Casper Coffee, you are supporting the show and getting the best cup of coffee you'll ever have in your life!
00:03:06.000 Because we make a mean cup of joe, I gotta tell you what.

00:03:36.000 We've got a flight right after this show to Iowa so that we can host a podcast slash town hall event with Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:03:44.000 Now I must stress, inclement weather has us worried.
00:03:47.000 We are being told that the flights may be shut down, completely out of our control.
00:03:53.000 But I told them we will make this happen.
00:03:56.000 Because a little snow is not going to stop us.
00:03:58.000 So right now we're at where Maryland, it's raining and it's mostly not that big a deal, it's light rain.
00:04:02.000 But in Des Moines, apparently it's heavy snow and we're told that the airport we would be landing at, because it's a private jet, should be fine.
00:04:11.000 It's up to the pilots, however, whether they want to actually fly through this weather.
00:04:15.000 I think by the time we'd be landing, which is going to be like 3 a.m., things should be okay.
00:04:20.000 But let me just stress, We're going to be leaving here at 11.30, arriving at the airport by about 11.30, getting on a plane, immediately landing, then we've got to rush to our hotel, set up the show, and I've got to record my morning show.
00:04:35.000 Not a very easy thing to do, and also very expensive.
00:04:38.000 But thanks to your support as members, we're able to do this and work our fingers to the bone to make cool stuff happen.

00:05:00.000 Thanks for having me.
00:05:00.000 Who are you?
00:05:01.000 What do you do besides being a mayor, I guess?
00:05:03.000 Well, I've been in Utah now in elected office for 10 years and I'm running for United States Senate.
00:05:09.000 I have quite a business background to help take a company public in the energy space and I have my wife Alicia and I have two fantastic kids.
00:05:18.000 And just proud to be running.
00:05:20.000 Right on.
00:05:21.000 What city are you the mayor of?
00:05:22.000 I'm the mayor of Riverton, which is just south of Salt Lake City, probably about 20 minutes south there.
00:05:27.000 Man, talk about a beautiful place.
00:05:29.000 It is.
00:05:30.000 I remember the first time I drove through, just the mountains on either side, indescribable.
00:05:36.000 It really is.
00:05:37.000 I mean, when you go away to somewhere really flat, like, say, Texas or somewhere else, and you come dropping in, and you see how tall and majestic those mountains are, it's just, wow.
00:05:45.000 Every time I come back.
00:05:46.000 Go to, like, Chicago and the suburbs.
00:05:48.000 The Great Plains.
00:05:49.000 It's all flat.
00:05:51.000 Nothing but sky and buildings.
00:05:53.000 And then you take a vacation, you know, someone like me, you drive through Utah, and you're just, it's amazing.
00:05:57.000 Yeah.
00:05:58.000 Other areas think they have mountains.
00:05:59.000 We really have mountains.
00:06:00.000 Utah and skiing, of course, yeah.
00:06:02.000 Right on.
00:06:03.000 It should be fun.
00:06:03.000 Well, thanks for hanging out.
00:06:04.000 We got Seamus Coghlan.
00:06:05.000 My name is Seamus Coghlan.
00:06:06.000 I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.

00:06:18.000 My name is Phil Labonte.
00:06:19.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains, a very failed musician, anti-communist, counter-revolutionary.
00:06:25.000 And, uh, I am Serge.
00:06:27.000 I am a Utah man.
00:06:28.000 Utah man I am.
00:06:30.000 And, uh, yeah.
00:06:31.000 I'm, uh, excited to have you here, sir.
00:06:32.000 Thank you very much.
00:06:33.000 And, uh, let's get into it.
00:06:34.000 Let's go.
00:06:35.000 Our first story from the Washington Examiner.
00:06:37.000 Ray Epps gets no jail time, sentenced to one year probation.
00:06:43.000 A man widely accused by former President Donald Trump supporters of covertly working on behalf of the FBI during the January 6th Capitol riot was sentenced Tuesday to a year of probation for his actions that day.
00:06:52.000 Ray Epps, 62, pleaded guilty last fall to one misdemeanor for disorderly conduct in a restricted area.
00:06:58.000 The DOJ had asked that Epps get six months in prison, a relatively harsh sentence for that charge.
00:07:03.000 While Epps argued that probation and restitution were appropriate penalties, he received restitution of $500.
00:07:10.000 So here's the big issue, and we'll just keep it real simple for y'all.
00:07:14.000 He's the one guy, on camera, orchestrating, and I mean that literally, telling people to go into the Capitol.
00:07:21.000 If there is any orchestrating that is documented, it is that.
00:07:24.000 You take a look at the Proud Boys and O'Keepers or whatever, and it's like vague, we're gonna go, who knows what's gonna happen, there's no real plan.
00:07:30.000 It's even admitted in these official statements that they don't really have a plan.
00:07:36.000 Enrique Tarrio was not in Washington, D.C.
00:07:39.000 on that day.
00:07:40.000 They sentenced him to 20 years.
00:07:42.000 Ray Epps not only was there, but was advocating for people to go in, is on camera saying he knows he'll be arrested for inciting this.
00:07:50.000 He says, I don't want to say it because I'll get arrested, but I'll say it.
00:07:52.000 And they say, say it.
00:07:53.000 And then he tells people to go in the Capitol.
00:07:55.000 And then there's a video of him at the front barricade when it's first breached, whispering into a man's ear.
00:08:00.000 And then they breach the barricades, storm the Capitol grounds.
00:08:04.000 And this guy gets probation.
00:08:06.000 We have so many stories of people like Brandon Strzok, for instance.
00:08:10.000 Never went in the building.
00:08:11.000 Prison.
00:08:12.000 How about Owen Schroyer?
00:08:14.000 Did not go in the building.
00:08:16.000 Prison.
00:08:18.000 Many people are rightly wondering why it is this man, Ray Apps, is not getting any jail time, but more importantly, why he has been defended by the corporate press.
00:08:28.000 Here's my conspiracy theory.
00:08:30.000 He's actually, just as you, everything is perfectly straightforward, and the corporate press is defending him.
00:08:36.000 That's the real conspiracy.
00:08:38.000 He actually is some bumbling Trump supporter who advocated them going to the Capitol and the DOJ is like, let's go real easy on him and get our buddies in the press to defend him so it makes everybody think he's the bad guy.
00:08:48.000 Well, you know, it's a very interesting situation and the way that it's framed is very telling.
00:08:53.000 So this article and many of the other articles you'll read is Ray Epps who right-wingers and conservatives and conspiracy theorists allege was involved with the federal government in some capacity or Needs to be punished more harshly than he's being punished, rather than Ray Epps, who whispered in the ear of the first person who broke down a barricade, or Ray Epps, who was inciting the riot a day before and telling people they should enter the Capitol and who was then called a fed.
00:09:19.000 But they never point out what actually happened.
00:09:21.000 But they never point out what the evidence shows.
00:09:23.000 They always point out this is what right-wingers think.
00:09:26.000 This is what conservatives think.
00:09:28.000 This is what conspiracy theorists think, not this is what happened.
00:09:32.000 Right, and the very, very important thing about these videos is Ray Epps saying that he knows he will be arrested for what he is about to say, and then he says it.
00:09:41.000 He knows what he is saying is incitement to illegal activities.
00:09:47.000 And they avoided charging this guy for a very long time.
00:09:49.000 Yep.
00:09:50.000 And their argument was he never set foot in the building.
00:09:52.000 But like you said, Brandon Straka and Owen Schreier are both people who never entered the building either, and yet they were charged and they were in prison.
00:09:59.000 And Brandon Straka, who we actually had on the show, had to plea down from like 20 years or something like that.
00:10:03.000 They were trying to lock him up in federal prison for a very long time.
00:10:06.000 And he never entered the building.
00:10:07.000 They lied about the evidence too.
00:10:08.000 They lied about the evidence.
00:10:10.000 They said that he was Egging people on and telling them to go into the building when it's not clear that he actually was because you can't see him on camera and according to him it's someone off camera yelling it.
00:10:23.000 We actually have footage of Ray Epps telling people to go in and whispering in someone's ear and he gets six months probation when they were trying to charge Brandon Strzoka and lock him up for 20 years?
00:10:33.000 This is the most blackpilling situation I think that's going on in the United States right now.
00:10:39.000 The way that the people that were At the Capitol on the 6th are being treated the way that the government has really set the conditions so that it's clearly favoring people and clearly going out of its way to essentially prosecute people for things that are protected under the Constitution.
00:11:06.000 And it's blatant.
00:11:08.000 And the real disheartening thing is not that the government is doing it, or people in the government would do it, because they're all garbage anyways.
00:11:17.000 It's that there are so many Americans that support it.
00:11:20.000 And this goes back to the fact that America is going through In my opinion, America, and a lot of other people too, America is currently going through a cultural revolution like they did, like they had in China.
00:11:32.000 And what that means is the fundamental principles that our country is founded on.
00:11:36.000 And I'm not talking about religion or any of that kind of stuff.
00:11:39.000 I'm talking about simple, basic things like you are innocent until proven guilty.
00:11:44.000 Those things are literally being ignored currently.
00:11:49.000 In regard to January 6th, in regard to Donald Trump, in regard to also any number of federal and state cases that have been brought against people that have the wrong politics.
00:12:00.000 People in other countries can see this.
00:12:03.000 People in other countries clearly see this.
00:12:05.000 Whatever your opinion on Donald Trump, when you have people like Glenn Greenwald, who is no Trump fan and is no right-winger, Can clearly see this and then you can have people like that are as silly as Alex Jones can see this and they're both saying the same things and the only people that don't see this are the actual establishment.
00:12:28.000 I mean, it's the only people that that if you pay attention if you are paying attention to what's going on it is difficult to for me to believe that you are being honest if you can't see that there is political persecution.
00:12:40.000 And I'm glad that you pointed out that this is very reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution.
00:12:44.000 What we're seeing is a kind of Neo-Maoism, where they accuse people of being enemies of the state or the establishment, needing of ostracization or even imprisonment on the basis of their political values.
00:12:53.000 And it's also ranked based on...
00:12:56.000 Their ethnic background, their immigrant status, whether they're conservative or not, right?
00:13:01.000 What Mao did is he created a series of privileged classes, and then he told the people, you have to go after the privileged classes and to be labeled as a member of one of these privileged classes.
00:13:12.000 Mao's Cultural Revolution was basically a death sentence or a sentence to be imprisoned, but let me just be perfectly clear.
00:13:20.000 That is where this kind of thing ends.
00:13:22.000 You don't start singling out ethnic groups and political groups and start saying that they're evil and need to be ostracized and removed from society and just have that stop.
00:13:29.000 Like there's either a backlash and it stops happening or it ends up getting violent and they try to harm people.
00:13:34.000 And we already see they're trying to lock people up on the basis of their political values.
00:13:37.000 Yes, and to your point about the identity stuff, Mao had red and black identities.
00:13:42.000 If you were a communist, you had a red identity, and they used those identities to turn children against their parents.
00:13:51.000 If your parents owned a shop, or owned property, or owned anything, or you were just looked at unfavorably, you believed you were not a communist or whatever, you had a black Mark on your family.
00:14:04.000 And the children would go to school and they didn't want to have black marks.
00:14:07.000 They wanted to have red identities.
00:14:10.000 They wanted to be good communists.
00:14:11.000 They wanted to get along with their friends.
00:14:13.000 They didn't want to be weird.
00:14:15.000 It was all peer pressure, which is what we're seeing now.
00:14:18.000 All of that stuff.
00:14:19.000 All of these things are reminiscent of Mao's Cultural Revolution.
00:14:22.000 It's happening currently in the United States because actual Marxism, economic Marxism, vulgar Marxism does not work.
00:14:31.000 So they're trying to use a racial vector.
00:14:34.000 All of the talk about race that you're seeing now, and everyone agrees there's constantly talk about race, that is just a vector of attack.
00:14:41.000 And it's all because it's a Maoist cultural revolution going on in the U.S.
00:14:45.000 It's crazy to me that you have not just that concept, like you said, that's been turned on its head, innocent until proven guilty.
00:14:50.000 It's that equal justice under the law, right?
00:14:52.000 That is the application.
00:14:53.000 That is what is foundational to our country.
00:14:56.000 And you're not seeing that.
00:14:57.000 You've got this two-tiered justice system that's going on.
00:14:59.000 I see it ever since running for U.S.
00:15:01.000 Senate.
00:15:01.000 You know, I'm trying to replace Mitt Romney here and going around and talking to so many Utahns.
00:15:06.000 I've talked to many that actually were there on January 6th and it blew me away to listen to the story of one woman in particular who was there with her son-in-law.
00:15:15.000 They had two different judges, right?
00:15:19.000 She unfortunately got the harsher judge and for just walking around 30 days in a federal penitentiary.
00:15:25.000 In the building?
00:15:26.000 In the building.
00:15:27.000 All she did was walk around.
00:15:29.000 For, I don't know, just maybe 15 minutes max, and did 30 days in a federal penitentiary in Washington State, and she said, I'm the only one I know of that's done time for a misdemeanor.
00:15:40.000 More time than Ray Epps?
00:15:41.000 More time than Ray Epps, that's right.
00:15:43.000 This is what's amazing is that a large portion of the convictions in the January 6th cases are people who showed up after the fact, and there's no barricades, they'd have been ripped down.
00:15:54.000 The doors had been opened by police.
00:15:56.000 Joe Scarborough of MSNBC on January 7th, CNN reports, he said, you opened the effing doors for them.
00:16:04.000 So there are people who don't know what's going on.
00:16:06.000 The Capitol is normally open, unrestricted.
00:16:09.000 The police opened the doors and even fanned some in.
00:16:12.000 They go to prison.
00:16:13.000 This is crazy what's happening in this country.
00:16:15.000 And when you look at what's going on the southern border, I gotta be honest, man, Look, I don't think all hope is lost.
00:16:22.000 I certainly think we have been winning, and there's a lot of people who don't want to accept it, but we've got tremendous cultural victories.
00:16:28.000 I mean, the fact that Dave Chappelle can say the jokes that he can say to mass applause from a DC audience shows we are winning this culture war.
00:16:36.000 But of course, When you back an animal into a corner, they will lash out violently.
00:16:43.000 And as the establishment machine begins to lose power, they are going to act irrationally and violently, and that's what we are now seeing.
00:16:52.000 We are seeing people who are just bumbling, you know, tourists in D.C.
00:16:57.000 who went to see a speech, walked around, and go to prison.
00:17:01.000 It's horribly depressing, and as mentioned earlier, this all ties into whether or not you are a member of one of the favored identity groups.
00:17:08.000 Look, big, bad, scary, white person, insurrectionist, right-winger inside of the Capitol, well that person is going to do prison time, right?
00:17:17.000 Or they're going to be more likely to.
00:17:19.000 They're certainly going to be frowned upon in the media.
00:17:21.000 That's why people are asking, why is nothing happening to this Ray Epps guy?
00:17:24.000 Because he is every single thing and he's a member of every identity group that we're constantly told we're supposed to hate.
00:17:31.000 This is an older guy who seems to be working class, who's a white conservative male, who is inciting A riot and was inciting a quote-unquote insurrection and he only gets probation?
00:17:47.000 Now don't sit here and try to tell me that that's his white privilege kicking in and people not wanting to prosecute him and the system not handling him because he's a white guy or because conservatives are actually secretly privileged and we're getting this wrong because other conservative-leaning people who are more politically active have gotten in far more trouble in this instance for far less.
00:18:04.000 The reality is there is information that's being withheld for us on his involvement and that's all I'll say.
00:18:10.000 He did more to incite violence and incite the riots and stuff than Donald Trump did.
00:18:16.000 Absolutely.
00:18:17.000 I think without question.
00:18:18.000 Without question.
00:18:20.000 I would be remiss if I did not end this segment on January 6th by pointing out the facts of the case that January 6th was An inside job was adjudicated as an inside job and is, as a matter of fact, based on CNN's reporting, January 6th was an inside job.
00:18:39.000 But don't take my word for it!
00:18:40.000 First, let me give you the definition of inside job from the Oxford Dictionary.
00:18:44.000 Inside job is defined as a crime committed by or with the assistance of a person living or working on the premises where it occurred.
00:18:51.000 Notice they say committed by or with the assistance of.
00:18:55.000 Inside job is a fairly broad term.
00:18:57.000 It means that someone inside Allowed or helped or assisted in this happening.
00:19:02.000 Of course, then we have this story from CNN.
00:19:05.000 Man who said January 6th was magical acquitted in US Capitol riot case.
00:19:09.000 A federal judge found Matthew Martin not guilty of four federal misdemeanors.
00:19:12.000 Four!
00:19:13.000 Related to trespassing.
00:19:15.000 Martin had successfully argued that a U.S.
00:19:18.000 Capitol officer waved him into the building.
00:19:21.000 At least one video played during the trial appeared to show an officer moving his arm in a waving motion.
00:19:25.000 That is to say, CNN has confirmed a video exists of an officer waving at Matthew Martin.
00:19:31.000 For which Matthew Martin interpreted as being waved into the building.
00:19:34.000 And that a judge agreed that the police officer appeared to be waving him into the building.
00:19:41.000 By all means, CNN, you are allowed to argue that he was waving at police officers, but that's not the point.
00:19:46.000 With the assistance of a Capitol police officer, this man entered the building.
00:19:50.000 But don't take my word for it!
00:19:52.000 Why don't you?
00:19:53.000 Oh, do I not?
00:19:54.000 I've made a terrible mistake.
00:19:54.000 I'm sorry.
00:19:56.000 I did not pull up the Joe Scarborough article.
00:19:58.000 I pulled up the Vagrant.
00:20:00.000 Sorry, silly me.
00:20:01.000 Joe Scarborough lambasted Capitol Police.
00:20:04.000 You opened the effing doors for them.
00:20:07.000 CNN reports.
00:20:09.000 And that's it.
00:20:10.000 Without refuting.
00:20:11.000 They report Joe Scarborough saying outright.
00:20:15.000 They politely opening the door for terrorists who had scrawled on the door, murder the media, he added.
00:20:22.000 Joe Scarborough's argument is that these people were violent terrorists and the police opened the doors politely for them.
00:20:29.000 Why?
00:20:29.000 Let me just get a show of hands.
00:20:30.000 How many of you would view that as assistance?
00:20:32.000 That's assistance.
00:20:34.000 One, two, three.
00:20:35.000 That is everyone in the room raising their hand that police politely opening the door for what Joe Scarborough calls terrorists as assisting them.
00:20:43.000 I don't see why police would politely open the door, according to Joe Scarborough.
00:20:48.000 So according to MSNBC and CNN, there is adjudicated, a judge said, cop waved this guy in, so it appears.
00:20:57.000 Well, that sounds like it's reasonable to say it was an inside job.
00:20:59.000 So when they claim Vivek Ramaswamy was wrong, That it was an inside job?
00:21:06.000 Vivek said it appeared to be.
00:21:07.000 Why?
00:21:08.000 Certainly based on CNN's own reporting, it does appear to be an inside job.
00:21:11.000 But I would say, considering we know the police did open the doors, took selfies with people, so much so that MSNBC got very angry about it, and CNN even reported on both instances, inside job is beyond confirmed in every conceivable way.
00:21:26.000 Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
00:21:28.000 But I suppose now we can jump to the next story in the January 6th case.
00:21:33.000 This is from the Daily Mail.
00:21:34.000 Judge asks Trump lawyer if President would be immune from prosecution for using SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival in explosive courtroom showdown.
00:21:46.000 This is a really, really great story and it's a very important story for all of you.
00:21:50.000 This is an excellent way to help people understand that these issues in law are nuanced and the headline does not accurately portray what is being, uh, the information being conveyed.
00:22:03.000 First, let me start by shocking all of you by saying it is a fact and it is true.
00:22:09.000 In this argument, it makes absolute sense, and it is reasonable and rational to argue, if the president ordered the assassination of his political rival, you could not prosecute him.
00:22:22.000 Unless he has been impeached and convicted already.
00:22:25.000 That's the statement.
00:22:26.000 The judges tried to make it seem like it was some egregious and shocking thing that such an argument would be made, but it does make sense.
00:22:33.000 Because there actually is an official argument for an official course of action in which a president or politician would assassinate their rival.
00:22:42.000 I'll give you a simple explanation.
00:22:45.000 President A learns through the Senate Intelligence Committee or the House Intelligence Committee or whatever, Foreign Affairs, top-secret information that a political rival of his has been making deals with a foreign adversary and is going to be meeting with them in a foreign country to deliver top-secret nuclear code information from the United States.
00:23:06.000 Unfortunately, they discovered this much too late, and they need to put a stop to it.
00:23:10.000 The president goes to a federal judge, who reviews the evidence, their arguments are made, and a warrant is issued.
00:23:18.000 The president then orders this man must be stopped by any means necessary.
00:23:22.000 After this political rival is caught in the act of selling state secrets, an act of treason, when US forces try to apprehend and arrest him, he resists and draws a weapon and is killed by the president's forces.
00:23:35.000 The assassination of a political rival.
00:23:37.000 Now perhaps you can argue that they mean like just taking him out.
00:23:41.000 In that instance, as I described it, there would be no impeachment.
00:23:44.000 Congress would say, no, we were the ones that delivered the intelligence that this man had betrayed his country, and a judge signed off on the warrant for his apprehension and or execution for treason.
00:23:55.000 In which case, you could not prosecute the president for taking this action, as no one in Congress would believe a crime had been committed.
00:24:02.000 Now, if Donald Trump or any president just straight up killed their political rival for political power, instantly in Congress, they would be impeached and convicted, and then they could be criminally charged.
00:24:13.000 The important thing to understand here is that were this to not be the case, as Democrats are arguing, This could mean that states or elements of the federal government could criminally charge a president whenever they feel like it, before, during, or after they're even in office, if they feel threatened by him, and the founding fathers were concerned this would disrupt the political process.
00:24:34.000 A man announces he's going to run for office, so what happens?
00:24:37.000 A rival political actor in government decides, I'll criminally charge him so that he can't win, and that's exactly where we are.
00:24:44.000 Yeah, no.
00:24:45.000 It's interesting, right?
00:24:46.000 Because it's really a question of process, as you mentioned.
00:24:49.000 So saying something like he would have to be impeached first is like saying he would have to be arrested first.
00:24:53.000 It's just part of the process.
00:24:54.000 It doesn't mean it's something he's allowed to do.
00:24:57.000 It means that we actually have a process laid out for how that's taken care of.
00:25:01.000 This seems like there is a process here.
00:25:04.000 Trump's lawyers have made a completely sound argument that I believe is correct.
00:25:08.000 You can't accuse a president of committing crime.
00:25:11.000 So in this instance we're talking about Trump investigating voter fraud.
00:25:14.000 It's actually the duty of the executive branch to investigate voter fraud should there be any.
00:25:20.000 But because there's a conflict of interest and that it was Trump's election, they're arguing it was a criminal activity.
00:25:25.000 Well, I believe it is correct.
00:25:27.000 Trump should be... There should be an investigation as a conflict of interest.
00:25:32.000 The determination was he was impeached and then he was acquitted.
00:25:36.000 How could you criminally charge someone who's been acquitted for this very thing?
00:25:38.000 They're going after him.
00:25:39.000 Why?
00:25:40.000 The arguments to the Supreme Court are the point of the Democrat process.
00:25:44.000 create or so they're in a federal a federal appeals court right now and making these arguments
00:25:49.000 on immunity and the Supreme Court is going to hear Trump's case on the ballot issue.
00:25:54.000 But right now if these judges come out and say the president is not immune then we are
00:26:00.000 inching towards absolute dictatorship and the collapse of the republic.
00:26:08.000 Yeah, that's a pretty great takedown.
00:26:10.000 Great analysis right there, because you're right.
00:26:12.000 There is a process, there's a procedure that we have to go through.
00:26:14.000 I mean, he has to be impeached, he has to be convicted in the Senate.
00:26:19.000 That hasn't happened here, and that is the argument exactly that some attorneys are making, is that they have a presidential immunity, that it is there for the reasons that you've cited.
00:26:30.000 This case they're bringing against him is the offense.
00:26:34.000 The offense is not to criminally charge Trump, that's a byproduct.
00:26:38.000 The offensive attack against our republic is this.
00:26:41.000 For the judges to rule, presidents can be criminally charged.
00:26:44.000 Then the next time, an America First candidate, let's say in eight years, Vivek Ramaswamy is the frontrunner.
00:26:50.000 What will happen?
00:26:52.000 Federal agents, to prevent him from winning, will file criminal charges against him.
00:26:56.000 Let's say he actually gets elected.
00:26:57.000 Let's say there's a backroom deal.
00:26:59.000 And he goes to the establishment and says, look, there's a few things that I want to do for this country, but I agree to play ball with you on foreign policy.
00:27:05.000 They say, okay.
00:27:05.000 Then he gets elected and says, nope, I'm going to play things my way.
00:27:08.000 They go, okay, you're under arrest.
00:27:10.000 We're going to criminally charge you now.
00:27:11.000 It doesn't matter who you are, if you're the president or not.
00:27:13.000 It doesn't matter if the people want you elected.
00:27:15.000 If the Democrats win the ability to criminally charge a sitting president, no election will ever matter ever again.
00:27:23.000 Yeah, I mean, I think that that does make sense.
00:27:26.000 And I'm not, I mean, I don't have a whole lot of faith in most of the judges and judicial system that is trying Trump.
00:27:36.000 I think that most of these, most of these cases should have been thrown out.
00:27:40.000 I think the one in about the, what was it?
00:27:44.000 Actually, no, I think maybe Georgia has something, but either way.
00:27:49.000 So I don't have any faith that the judge will decide in a fair way.
00:27:54.000 If you listen to these judges, you would come to the conclusion they will not judge in a fair way.
00:28:02.000 Again, this goes back to my point of why I'm so blackmailed.
00:28:06.000 I don't think that the justice system is treating any of this fairly.
00:28:11.000 The people that are prosecuting tend to be Democrats, you know, the opposing party.
00:28:18.000 I don't see how this is in any way fair, why the American people aren't saying, look, this is clearly political and making more noise about this.
00:28:28.000 Well yeah, I mean why would we expect a fair outcome when none of this is fair to begin with?
00:28:31.000 The fact that he's even gone to trial.
00:28:33.000 Donald Trump has been more investigated and he's had more charges brought up against him than any president in recent history.
00:28:41.000 And are you going to sit here with a straight face and tell me he's been the most corrupt?
00:28:44.000 That's ridiculous!
00:28:45.000 More corrupt than George Bush?
00:28:46.000 More corrupt than Bill Clinton?
00:28:47.000 More corrupt than Barack Obama?
00:28:48.000 It's complete insanity.
00:28:49.000 We're in modern warfare.
00:28:51.000 We are absolutely watching the erosion of the Republic.
00:28:56.000 Did you guys see a couple days ago that Senator from New Hampshire said, quote, a democracy if you can keep it?
00:29:02.000 Embarrassing.
00:29:03.000 Embarrassing.
00:29:04.000 Intentionally erasing history.
00:29:06.000 Why?
00:29:07.000 Here's what I try to explain to people.
00:29:09.000 Democracy does not mean rule by majority.
00:29:11.000 They think it does.
00:29:12.000 Democracy means rule by the absolute slimmest of minorities.
00:29:16.000 What people think a democracy will be, Ten people ask what's for lunch, and everyone votes.
00:29:24.000 People think democracy means six people say we want pepperoni pizza?
00:29:27.000 Congratulations, you got pepperoni pizza.
00:29:29.000 I'll tell you what democracy is.
00:29:31.000 At Occupy Wall Street, they needed a way to keep supplies dry.
00:29:35.000 So, they used to have these things called General Assemblies, where the whole group of Occupy gets together, and then they'll, you know, petition everybody, and then raise their hands and wiggle their fingers if they like things.
00:29:45.000 The idea was, hey, we got a bunch of clothes and supplies that are getting wet from the rain.
00:29:50.000 We need plastic bins to store them so if it rains or snows, they will not be destroyed.
00:29:54.000 Simple, right?
00:29:55.000 Well, you'd think in a democracy, the average person assumes, you're going to get a yes or no vote.
00:30:01.000 Right?
00:30:02.000 That's not what happened.
00:30:02.000 What happened was, everybody said, all in favor of buying the bins.
00:30:05.000 The no's have it.
00:30:07.000 Why?
00:30:07.000 Well, plastic is bad for the environment.
00:30:10.000 So we can't have plastic.
00:30:11.000 Okay, well, what's the solution?
00:30:13.000 There's no other material.
00:30:13.000 We're not gonna get a glass one.
00:30:15.000 You're not gonna get a wooden sealed basket with rubber or anything, right?
00:30:19.000 Well, how about this?
00:30:21.000 How about we get recycled, reused bins?
00:30:24.000 So that way we're not contributing.
00:30:25.000 Okay!
00:30:26.000 Now we've got a proposal here.
00:30:27.000 All in favor of recycled plastic bins.
00:30:30.000 The no's have it.
00:30:31.000 Why?
00:30:32.000 Because was this sourced fair trade?
00:30:34.000 Were the workers treated properly?
00:30:35.000 I'm not kidding, this happened.
00:30:37.000 Eventually what happens is, in a democracy, There is only a tiny percentage that actually wants the outcome, and the majority of people compromise with each other to create some wacky outcome that makes no sense.
00:30:50.000 The end result was, the vote that won was recycled fair trade plastic bins that are bought off of Craigslist and you can't spend more than X amount.
00:31:02.000 So what happened?
00:31:04.000 Well, that's clearly impossible.
00:31:05.000 So the people who had access to the money just went to, I believe they went to a department store and just bought standard plastic bins for 20 bucks and then brought them in there and then just said, sure, we did what we wanted.
00:31:15.000 If everybody gets a vote on how to run something, you don't get a simple majority.
00:31:23.000 You get this weird amalgamation of the desires of as many people as possible.
00:31:28.000 And then the result is, How many people came out and filled out a form saying, I want this specific kind of plastic bin?
00:31:36.000 Three out of a hundred?
00:31:37.000 And that's who wins in the end.
00:31:38.000 That's direct democracy.
00:31:39.000 Well, so this is actually something a good friend of mine pointed out.
00:31:43.000 He said, like, if you ever tried to make dinner plans with multiple people, hell, It's really difficult, but you know what works out really well?
00:31:51.000 When, like, you're a kid and you're in the car with your parents and your dad's like, here's where we're going for dinner.
00:31:57.000 And then you just go there and you pick what you want off the menu, right?
00:32:00.000 But where these things always end up is one person just making the decision anyway.
00:32:05.000 So we're kind of fooling ourselves if we think we really have this process where everyone's actually coming together and getting what they want.
00:32:10.000 Dude, I got an idea!
00:32:11.000 We should totally do it.
00:32:12.000 So, Freedomistan, our new studio, is done.
00:32:16.000 I should say, the new structure, the building's past inspection, it is done.
00:32:20.000 All we're doing now is the actual technical build-up for the studio, and then we'll be there in a few weeks.
00:32:25.000 Let's make a video where we give everyone ten options for dinner, dessert... Let's just do this.
00:32:35.000 Let's just do dinner.
00:32:37.000 We'll say, here's a list of meats, here's a list of carbs, here's a list of vegetables, vote for which one you like the most.
00:32:46.000 Do you think you're going to get a delicious eggplant parmesan with fresh ricotta on top?
00:32:51.000 No, you're going to get like a beef steak with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, espresso poured around it, some asparagus stalk sticking out of it, and you're going to be like, I am not eating this.
00:33:01.000 But hey, that's what everyone voted for.
00:33:04.000 Most people wanted beef.
00:33:05.000 Most people wanted ice cream.
00:33:07.000 Most people wanted asparagus.
00:33:08.000 Most people wanted espresso.
00:33:10.000 And then you're going to be like, welcome to democracy.
00:33:12.000 Yeah, and it's been referred to as the tyranny of the minority, right, under that scenario.
00:33:18.000 And there's been a concerted effort for decades now to take control of that word and to foist it up democracy.
00:33:25.000 Let's save our democracy.
00:33:26.000 I mean, I get so sick and tired of seeing this too.
00:33:28.000 We're seeing democracy 2024.
00:33:29.000 That's not what our country is.
00:33:31.000 We're a constitutional republic.
00:33:32.000 It's their country.
00:33:33.000 That's right.
00:33:35.000 And I've heard you say this before, where words really have meaning, and Democrats on the left are so good at co-opting that, and just putting that out there time and again.
00:33:45.000 When they say our democracy, they're not including you.
00:33:48.000 That's right, they really mean our.
00:33:51.000 Yeah, it's like, the way I've described it is, three guys break into your house, start destroying your living room, and when you walk in and say, get out of my house, one burglar looks at the other burglar and says, he's trying to kick us out of our house.
00:34:03.000 Yeah, he's not calling it your house.
00:34:05.000 He's not acting like you're a part of his plans.
00:34:08.000 Mm-hmm.
00:34:08.000 Yeah.
00:34:09.000 No, it's absolutely right.
00:34:10.000 It's always so funny to me because for years and years what the left did and what they did within the popular culture is they made people laugh at these American buzzwords, right?
00:34:19.000 So they said, oh, come on.
00:34:21.000 Conservatives and right-wingers talk about freedom and freedom just the word became a punchline.
00:34:26.000 Oh, it's freedom.
00:34:27.000 Oh, it's America.
00:34:28.000 And of course you say it in a southern accent because that's that's peak comedy.
00:34:32.000 And now they'll go, our democracy, this is about our democracy, which is hilarious.
00:34:38.000 They're just, they're like throwing around these like dime store patriotic terms without actually thinking about the ideas they're expressing.
00:34:45.000 What do you mean by that?
00:34:46.000 Like, why is this good for democracy?
00:34:48.000 Why is it good for democracy to remove the front runner of the Republican primaries out of the process?
00:34:55.000 Because they're saying our democracy.
00:34:56.000 Exactly.
00:34:57.000 They're not saying democracy, they're saying our democracy.
00:34:59.000 Yes, I agree.
00:35:00.000 That's my point.
00:35:00.000 They're just throwing this around as a buzzword.
00:35:02.000 No, no, no, no, no.
00:35:03.000 The elite know what they're doing.
00:35:05.000 Hold on, I'm arguing with you on this.
00:35:06.000 You are incorrect.
00:35:07.000 I'm saying that I don't know how much we disagree because the elite are using it that way, but I think your average person who hears that and throws that around or thinks it sounds good doesn't detect it.
00:35:16.000 My point is...
00:35:18.000 They're saying the fact that Donald Trump could win is a threat to our plan.
00:35:23.000 Yes, that's what the press is saying.
00:35:25.000 So there's a couple people that are running for the Democratic primary, and I forget the guy's name or whatever, but he tweeted out, me and Marianne Williamson are not insurrectionists, why are they blocking our primary?
00:35:34.000 And I said, because you running in an election is a threat to their power structure.
00:35:41.000 The quote-unquote democracy they have is not a democracy of the people.
00:35:45.000 It's a democratic system of the elites where they get to decide.
00:35:49.000 And if you actually ran against them, you would threaten their power structure.
00:35:53.000 Absolutely.
00:35:53.000 I'm not talking about that.
00:35:54.000 I agree with you that they have a kind of oligarchy and they're trying to preserve their power.
00:35:58.000 But when the reason they seize on to these words like democracy is because they know your average person who doesn't have time to research or think about these things hears that and goes like, oh, democracy, that's a good word.
00:36:07.000 This is about democracy.
00:36:09.000 Yeah, I think to a certain degree, but my point is that they're literally saying we are trying to build a new communist system that we would call, like North Korea calls their country the Democratic Republic of North Korea.
00:36:22.000 People's Republic of China.
00:36:23.000 So they're saying our democracy is, they may as well be saying our communist dictatorship.
00:36:27.000 They're saying this election, communist dictatorship is on the ballot.
00:36:31.000 They call it democracy.
00:36:34.000 Yeah.
00:36:35.000 Because that's a nice word.
00:36:36.000 He used good word.
00:36:37.000 I like when he uses good word.
00:36:38.000 When he uses good word, he's right, right?
00:36:40.000 You're against good word?
00:36:41.000 Yes, I am against good word.
00:36:42.000 This goes back to the point about Maoism, because that was something that Mao said.
00:36:48.000 Communism, the idea of communism is pure democracy.
00:36:51.000 He's not entirely wrong.
00:36:53.000 And it will destroy the republic, which is the intent.
00:37:01.000 It's frustrating when you talk to people that get their news from Jon Stewart or from Comedy Central and they believe all of the messages that are coming out of Comedy Central and that's really one of the most damaging things that's happened to the U.S.
00:37:18.000 has been the ability of the daily show to just Feed people the most insane propaganda and have the most ridiculous framing of anything conservative and it's really been toxic because it's affected the way that people like you were saying about freedom and stuff the way that people perceive
00:37:38.000 Things that are fundamental to the United States.
00:37:40.000 And the left really has gotten to the point where they hate America, they hate liberalism.
00:37:44.000 You talk to any leftist and they don't call themselves liberals, they call themselves progressives.
00:37:48.000 I like, Jimmy Kimmel wanted this really long rant about Aaron Rodgers, and it was the stupidest thing ever because he was like, calling someone a pedo isn't an opinion, and he threatened to sue Aaron Rodgers.
00:38:00.000 But then he goes on to say he read about the Dunning-Kruger effect, where people are too stupid to realize they're stupid.
00:38:05.000 He said ignorant.
00:38:06.000 But I love this because he should have talked to his lawyer, because publicly stating that you believe the person who defamed you is too stupid to realize they defamed you is an affirmative defense for the person who defamed you under Times v. Sullivan.
00:38:19.000 In which case, if he ever did sue, Aaron Rodgers could say, Jimmy Kimmel admitted it.
00:38:23.000 I genuinely believed what I had said.
00:38:26.000 And you know what?
00:38:26.000 Case dismissed.
00:38:27.000 You know, Jimmy Kimmel also made a dig at him for going to community college, which is hysterical.
00:38:34.000 How many of these leftists Complain about how expensive college is and about a horrible to student debt crisis is only to turn around and laugh at people who took Responsibility and said I'm gonna go somewhere less expensive They're gonna go somewhere where I won't rack up a lot of debt.
00:38:51.000 None of them believe any of the things they're saying It's all about status.
00:38:54.000 It's all about hierarchy.
00:38:56.000 It's all about kissing their own butts.
00:38:58.000 I want to point out Aaron Rodgers never said Jimmy Kimmel was on the list He said Jimmy Kimmel is probably worried the list may come out And the interpretation by most people was that he was implying Kimmel was on the list.
00:39:11.000 Maybe.
00:39:11.000 Or, I stated this before the Epstein documents were released, and there's more coming out every day.
00:39:17.000 Jimmy Kimmel came out and said, I've never met with Epstein, I never flew on his plane.
00:39:21.000 Well, Aaron Rodgers didn't say that.
00:39:24.000 But I actually think there's a very good reason that Jimmy Kimmel is sweating bullets over these documents.
00:39:28.000 And that is, it has been reported that he was in business with, what's the guy's name, Andrew Perry Lang?
00:39:34.000 He was in business with Epstein's Personal Chef, who owned a restaurant, I think it was called APL.
00:39:39.000 Jimmy Kimmel was good friends with him.
00:39:41.000 Jimmy Kimmel may be worried about the release of this, not because he's on the list.
00:39:46.000 He could be peripherally mentioned, but because his good friend is on the list.
00:39:51.000 So Aaron Rodgers said a very basic statement, which probably is true.
00:39:54.000 Jimmy Kimmel has reason to be worried.
00:39:57.000 And it's not just Perry Lang.
00:39:59.000 It's many people in Hollywood who may appear on these lists who are friends with Jimmy Kimmel.
00:40:05.000 So if those lists come out, and it turns out that a good friend of Jimmy Kimmel was deeply involved in what was going on with Epstein, and it's true, this guy was Epstein's personal chef, Jimmy Kimmel may be worried that could damage his brand or his net worth or something, even though he's not accused of being a pedo.
00:40:18.000 Yeah, I mean, look, if you're not willing to be friends with pedophiles, you're not going to have very many friends in Hollywood.
00:40:24.000 I know!
00:40:24.000 You'd basically just be by yourself, hanging out, ostracized, and then you'd make a documentary where they'd call you all a liar, even though you're a victim.
00:40:31.000 How about we jump to this story?
00:40:33.000 Ladies and gentlemen, it's the moment you've all been waiting for.
00:40:36.000 Newsweek says, secret tunnel under New York Synagogue sparks catechscenes.
00:40:41.000 But I will not bury the lead, I will simply just play for you this video so you can all say, holy what the is going on.
00:40:50.000 For those that are listening, the video depicts a Jewish man climbing out of a secret tunnel in the sidewalks of New York City, swatting at the camera, And then running away.
00:40:59.000 Looks like a skit.
00:41:00.000 And again, my favorite tweet from this is, uh, imagine seeing a Jewish man climb out of an underground tunnel on the New York sidewalk, not having your camera to film it, and trying to explain to your friends what you saw without sounding like an anti-Semite.
00:41:15.000 It's already been a wild year, man.
00:41:17.000 This is insane.
00:41:18.000 So the story is, there's a secret tunnel built under a New York synagogue, The police show up.
00:41:24.000 Cement trucks come to fill in the tunnel.
00:41:27.000 Soiled mattresses are pulled from this crevice.
00:41:30.000 Young men then rip the walls down, this wood paneling, and break through the wall to try and occupy the space to stop.
00:41:37.000 The construction crews from cementing it in.
00:41:40.000 When the police show up, young Jewish men fight the police and a dozen are arrested.
00:41:46.000 And now everyone is saying, what the is going on with secret Jewish tunnels in New York City?
00:41:54.000 The Jews are hanging out with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
00:41:57.000 That would be the cool explanation.
00:42:00.000 I have a friend that is a young Jewish man that lives on Long Island and he sent me some information about this.
00:42:08.000 Apparently there is a sect of young Jewish men that are They're Israelis from a fringe sect of Judaism to come to the U.S.
00:42:16.000 as teenagers to study with little to no supervision.
00:42:19.000 They have no money, awful living conditions, and no regard for anyone or anything outside of their ridiculous beliefs that essentially amount to treating the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who passed away in the 90s, as a deity.
00:42:30.000 They consider him to be the Messiah and refuse to acknowledge that he is no longer alive.
00:42:34.000 The rumor is that they dug the tunnel so they'd have unrestricted access to the main synagogue here when it's closed, as it was for a bit during COVID.
00:42:41.000 Um, the, I apparently the Rebbe used to give dollars out every Sunday along with other blessings.
00:42:47.000 People would line up.
00:42:48.000 So he was a, an icon in there.
00:42:49.000 There are, there's a sect of Judaism that thinks he's the Messiah.
00:42:53.000 And I, apparently they had a underground tunnel because they were fighting the man.
00:43:00.000 So do you think that's what this is?
00:43:01.000 Look, when I, when I saw the police coming in and then these young men start fighting
00:43:06.000 cops, I'm like, zealotry.
00:43:09.000 Ideological zealotry.
00:43:11.000 There's zero percent chance you save this tunnel once they've discovered it.
00:43:18.000 The idea that a dozen young Jewish men could fight the police off and preserve this was insane.
00:43:24.000 The only reason they would then do it is if their ideology was stronger than their logic.
00:43:29.000 In their minds, they're thinking, I know we'll lose, but for this reason, we must fight to protect our secret tunnel.
00:43:38.000 Yeah, I think it's hilarious.
00:43:39.000 I've got the guy that they're talking about that has passed away.
00:43:43.000 His name is Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
00:43:48.000 I swear to God, I'm not making this up.
00:43:49.000 I'm going to copy the Wikipedia on the guy.
00:43:51.000 I got it right here.
00:43:52.000 Yeah, so... Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
00:43:55.000 Yeah.
00:43:57.000 So he's dead.
00:43:58.000 Yeah.
00:43:58.000 But they believe he was, what, a deity or something?
00:44:02.000 This particular sect apparently believes that he is the Messiah, and he was well loved by people in the community, and I guess in According to Jews and stuff, but there are people... The leader of the Shabbat Lubavitch movement.
00:44:18.000 How do the tunnels come into play here, though?
00:44:19.000 They didn't want to be held down by the man.
00:44:21.000 They wanted to be able to get to synagogue, man.
00:44:23.000 Oh, this was because of the COVID lockdown.
00:44:25.000 Well, that's what people say, but it's years later now, right?
00:44:30.000 They're still on lockdown, so why would people still be in tunnels?
00:44:31.000 I gotta be honest.
00:44:34.000 If young men built tunnels so they could go and worship their First Amendment right when the oppressive dictatorship of the state was trying to suppress their constitutional right, that's basic.
00:44:44.000 Yeah, I mean, 100%.
00:44:44.000 Don't fight cops!
00:44:46.000 Yeah, but what are they still doing down there?
00:44:49.000 I guess if you have a cool tunnel, you still use the cool tunnel, but I don't know if that's the explanation.
00:44:53.000 They are men.
00:44:54.000 There's gotta be something else.
00:44:55.000 But there's a very interesting question to be had in this case.
00:45:00.000 What we saw in New York with the shutting down of churches and synagogues was unconstitutional.
00:45:05.000 Judges had ruled it unconstitutional.
00:45:08.000 And Cuomo said, go ahead, I'll just make another executive order and shut these things down.
00:45:14.000 The people who are committing the crimes were the police officers trying to stop people from expressing their First Amendment rights.
00:45:20.000 The Constitution is the law of the land.
00:45:21.000 In which case, These young men who built a tunnel to be able to go into the synagogue to worship, when they were being oppressed by the dictatorship, by the communist authorities, they were in the right.
00:45:34.000 Yes, clearly.
00:45:36.000 I mean, the lockdowns were the most clearly unconstitutional, especially in the context of people that wanted to go and practice their religion.
00:45:44.000 I personally am not a believer, but it's protected in the Constitution, clearly.
00:45:48.000 There's no...
00:45:51.000 Ambiguity about you, you know, you have the right to assemble and you have the right to practice your religion.
00:45:57.000 There's you know, I mean the country can't make the state can't make a laws regarding religion.
00:46:03.000 So clearly they had no authority to do that and there's been there's been no, you know, nothing's happened since nobody lost their jobs.
00:46:12.000 No one got fired, you know, and let's let's let's segue this story about secret Jewish tunnels in the most likely and appropriate direction.
00:46:21.000 Civil War.
00:46:22.000 So, when, uh, we are now dealing with a question of, at what point... Let me put it this way.
00:46:31.000 This show is always about being on the correct side of law.
00:46:37.000 Don't break the law, you handle things appropriately, the cops come to stop you, you comply, and then you fight in court because fighting a cop on the street doesn't do anything for you.
00:46:46.000 There are limits, however, and people ask this question.
00:46:48.000 At what point must you defy a police officer?
00:46:52.000 Well, obviously, if the police officer's committing a crime, you are not obeying the law by obeying a police officer who's committing a crime, right?
00:46:59.000 Like, if a cop went and was robbing a bank, and then ordered you, under threat of law, to help fill his duffel bags, You should not do that!
00:47:08.000 I mean, well, I'm not going to tell you what to do because it's threatening your life.
00:47:10.000 Yeah.
00:47:11.000 But if he says, if you don't do this, I'll arrest you, I'd be like, bro, you're the one committing the crime.
00:47:15.000 I'm not going to do this.
00:47:16.000 Herein lies the big challenge.
00:47:18.000 We are dangerously close to this point, nay, we are already in it, where we are seeing police officers engage in illegal activity.
00:47:24.000 We are seeing border patrol officers engage in illegal activity.
00:47:28.000 And this, this issue of the tunnel under the synagogue brings up a really important question.
00:47:34.000 Sooner or later, it will be impossible to answer what is the right side of the law.
00:47:40.000 So, again, what we say is you see a video of a guy, and he's being stopped by the police, and he fights the cops, and the cops defend themselves, and the guy dies.
00:47:47.000 And then everyone's like, oh, the cop's racist, and I'm like, dude, if a cop is stopping you, don't fist fight him.
00:47:53.000 You keep your mouth shut.
00:47:55.000 You put your hands behind your back.
00:47:57.000 Then you get in touch with your lawyer, and you win in the system, which we have built to deal with these things.
00:48:02.000 But what happens when the police are shutting down churches illegally and now the police are basically kidnapping and threatening you with violence without actual authority?
00:48:14.000 The problem there is New York City government asserts the authority to do it.
00:48:19.000 The Constitution says otherwise and the judges have said otherwise.
00:48:23.000 How would we advocate?
00:48:24.000 Would we tell you, no, these cops are committing crimes, you should ignore them?
00:48:28.000 Then YouTube says, nope, the cops are always right.
00:48:30.000 What's the stance that the broadcasters will take?
00:48:33.000 You literally, honestly, in a real, if you're going to actually talk about this as a realistic situation, the cop's got a gun, you do what the cop says.
00:48:41.000 The long and short of it.
00:48:42.000 The guy with the gun is the one that you listen to.
00:48:45.000 Get out of that situation, because you're not going to win a gunfight and the government's not going to say, okay, this is good.
00:48:50.000 No, no, no, hold on, hold on.
00:48:51.000 A guy shows up wearing a badge that says, the new Republic of New York, and he's got a gun.
00:48:57.000 And he's wearing a uniform and he says, you now are under my jurisdiction, we assert authority here, do you listen to him?
00:49:05.000 At that point, there's someone trying to force you to do something that is illegal, you have been kidnapped by that guy, and you get away from them, you escape if possible.
00:49:14.000 My point here is that you're making the assumption that the person wearing the badge of New York City is operating under any kind of constitutional authority.
00:49:21.000 No, I'm making, by saying you should escape, I'm making the assumption that they're illegitimate.
00:49:26.000 The point here is, this is a point that I've made numerous times as it pertains to these stories.
00:49:29.000 What happens if someone knocks on your door and you go, and there's a clown, in total clown garb, standing there?
00:49:36.000 And you're like, who are you, what do you want?
00:49:37.000 And he says, I am the clown bureau, and we are here to arrest you, we have a warrant.
00:49:42.000 Would you actually listen to the clown bureau?
00:49:44.000 No.
00:49:44.000 I mean, look, the ATF shows up at everybody's house every now and again.
00:49:47.000 Right.
00:49:47.000 The point is, you clearly recognize a man in a clown costume is no legal authority.
00:49:52.000 That's absurd.
00:49:53.000 What happens when a person shows up claiming to be law enforcement, but the view and the confidence in the system is thus that you look at it like a clown costume?
00:50:03.000 Like, the easier way to explain it is a guy shows up wearing a badge, you're in California, and he has a New Californian Republic badge.
00:50:10.000 Sheriff.
00:50:11.000 And you're like, there's no such thing as the New California Republic.
00:50:14.000 So you're essentially asking what happens when the government loses legitimacy with the average person.
00:50:17.000 When the authorities do.
00:50:18.000 What happens when it's split and no one knows.
00:50:21.000 Fair enough.
00:50:21.000 So right now it's very simple to say if the police show up, you just, you adhere to the system, you get a lawyer, you fight it the best way possible, which is in the courts.
00:50:29.000 But what if the police start killing people?
00:50:32.000 What if a police officer, what if, I mean, let's just entertain this tunnel that they built, allegedly was so that they could keep going to church, to synagogue, when they were illegally barred from doing so.
00:50:45.000 We saw in New York, the police were barricading parks, locking them up, and shutting down schools.
00:50:51.000 They were spying on schools.
00:50:53.000 There was one video where a guy's restaurant was closed, he had his door open because he was cleaning, and a health inspector came in and gave him a fine for being open.
00:51:00.000 He goes, I'm not open, I'm closed.
00:51:01.000 And they were like, your door's open.
00:51:02.000 And he was like, what?
00:51:04.000 If someone claims they have the authority of government and are violating the law, we cannot advocate that you adhere to a man who's breaking the law.
00:51:13.000 That would be telling you to actually be party to lawbreakers.
00:51:16.000 But we have seen police break the law, under color of law.
00:51:20.000 We are at this point right now, since COVID, and the question more seriously is on the southern border.
00:51:27.000 Federal law enforcement are assisting illegal immigration.
00:51:31.000 They're committing crimes.
00:51:33.000 This is why, I gotta say, this is why it's so important.
00:51:35.000 Elections matter, elections have consequences, right?
00:51:38.000 We have to have people in an executive role or in government that are representing us, that's supposed to be representing us, that are looking out for our... and this COVID example rings true in my own community, where I was a mayor and I said no.
00:51:53.000 I said no to mask mandates, no to vaccine mandates, as one of the very few I had our county authorities call me and say, you need to be enforcing social distancing at your parks and your cops, your city cops.
00:52:07.000 They need to be enforcing mask mandates and handing out fines.
00:52:10.000 And I said, go pound sand.
00:52:12.000 I mean, this is not, and that's what we need to do.
00:52:15.000 We need to find people that have exhibited that type of courage and that backbone and support them in office.
00:52:21.000 Otherwise we get what we have today.
00:52:23.000 I think that I, whereas I do think that the point you're making is, is correct.
00:52:28.000 I think that it is.
00:52:31.000 Far worse of a situation in that it's not about finding people that are running that's that have these policies or that are talking about these policies It's that can it's convincing the people that are voting that these are the correct policies.
00:52:42.000 I think that the the There are people that say hey I would do this I would do that that that that are at least pointing in the right direction and I feel like the average person has been again talking what we were talking about earlier what I was mentioning earlier how Had the average person has been so so indoctrinated by the by Comedy Central's, you know It's a call on politics that they don't have any understanding of why the policies that they're hoping for Won't work at all that they don't have any understanding of history and and I think that that's the majority of our problem is the people that have the people that that are now in HR departments and in and work in government and stuff like that and and and leading
00:53:25.000 In political positions in cities across America, they've all been taught that liberalism is not actually the system that we should be supporting.
00:53:35.000 And so I think we need people, we need a society that values these things.
00:53:41.000 And unless we have that, we can guarantee that they're going to vote for frivolous, ridiculous things that don't work.
00:53:48.000 Yeah, I want to ask you a question about this, because one thing that we're constantly saying on this show, and one thing I think basically everyone in this sphere is saying non-stop, is that we need people to actually stand up for their values.
00:53:59.000 It's great to have the right ideas, it's fantastic to know what's going on, but ultimately when push comes to shove, you have to be willing to stand up for them.
00:54:05.000 So I'm curious, what inspired you to actually take a stand and say, we're not doing this mask mandate stuff?
00:54:09.000 And when did you reach this conclusion?
00:54:10.000 Because I could just say personally.
00:54:13.000 When this all first started happening I want to say for the first like couple weeks I was a little nervous right and I thought maybe this is something and I will wear a mask but I want to say by the time we got to April or May I was really not with it anymore and then I just remember when The media was completely okay with BLM rioting, and when doctors literally signed a note saying that that was acceptable, I went, oh, it was just nonsense!
00:54:38.000 But yeah, I'm curious, like, at what point did you come to this conclusion, and what inspired you to stick to your guns there?
00:54:45.000 Because a lot of people weren't.
00:54:46.000 A lot of elected leaders were not.
00:54:47.000 No, no, and sadly, that's true.
00:54:49.000 But I think just inherently, I knew that this was wrong.
00:54:53.000 And right away, in about March of 2020, I went on and said quite vociferously that I was opposed to any mask mandates whatsoever.
00:55:03.000 And then news came back around in May, I believe it was, of 2020, where I said yet again, look, I am not going to be utilizing my police department to enforce these things.
00:55:12.000 I think it's heavy handed.
00:55:13.000 This is not constitutional.
00:55:15.000 And maintain that stance for, you know, for the entire time.
00:55:20.000 It is.
00:55:20.000 I think you're absolutely right though that we have unfortunately.
00:55:24.000 It's not just certain media channels, but it's the it's the educational system that we have in this country where we have dumbed it down so bad and more than that.
00:55:34.000 We're actually teaching people the wrong things.
00:55:37.000 We have so few people that are I think economically and civically literate.
00:55:42.000 Yep, and that's just unfortunate.
00:55:45.000 Or just literate.
00:55:47.000 And I'm not just talking about low reading scores.
00:55:51.000 What I'm saying is, with widespread literacy, it seems as if we became satisfied teaching people to be able to sound out letters and then know what the word was, without actually being able to truly comprehend the deeper message of what's being said.
00:56:05.000 This is a typical argument against mass literacy programs that I've heard from I'm not against mass literacy programs, I just think, like, they're not real literacy programs.
00:56:15.000 We're teaching people, like, how to sound words out.
00:56:17.000 We're not actually teaching them how to really truly read.
00:56:20.000 There was this great article I read a long time ago, one of the things that played a factor in me not going to college, that argued that college is great for the people who've decided college is the path for them, in that you grow up building computers, and you want to go somewhere where you can learn to build computers better.
00:56:37.000 You have the capability to build computers and you want to learn from the best.
00:56:40.000 What we did then is we said everyone should go to college no matter what.
00:56:43.000 The problem there is this article said something like you need an average IQ of about 110 to actually go to higher learning.
00:56:50.000 That means you can read and not just memorize but actually comprehend the idea that is shown to you.
00:56:58.000 And the problem now is by telling everyone to go to college, people of 100 IQ will easily memorize the literature but not actually understand what it means.
00:57:08.000 What ends up happening then is after a few years they'll have this jumbled up confused concept which they think will make them smart.
00:57:15.000 They think they're smarter than everybody.
00:57:16.000 They actually have no idea what they're talking about.
00:57:19.000 That I think is a good example of what's happening in this country.
00:57:22.000 You see a lot of that also, you know, people will throw this stat around and they'll mention like, oh yeah, to graduate from college, like on average your IQ's gonna be around 110, 115, but I think that's outdated.
00:57:32.000 I'm almost certain that's not the case anymore.
00:57:34.000 No.
00:57:34.000 I think the average college grad probably has an IQ of like 105, maybe 100 even.
00:57:39.000 Well, the average IQ is 100, that's the point.
00:57:41.000 No, no, that's what I'm saying.
00:57:42.000 I don't think the average college grad is that far above average anymore.
00:57:46.000 No, I agree.
00:57:46.000 I don't think they're 110, 115.
00:57:47.000 Yeah, I think the issue is often brought up, we have a lot of midwits in the political space.
00:57:52.000 These are people who are slightly smarter than average, but not really smart enough to grasp these broader concepts.
00:57:57.000 And so, you end up with... You know, an example would be when Elise Stefanik says, I will certify the elect—she's asked, will you commit to certifying the 2024 election?
00:58:12.000 She says, yes, if it's constitutional.
00:58:14.000 And then NBC, because these people are scumbags and they're evil, report Elise Stefanik refuses to commit to certifying the 2024 election.
00:58:22.000 The midwit is the Democrat who then goes, whoa.
00:58:26.000 They understand enough of politics, they read into it, but they're not smart enough to grasp how they're being manipulated.
00:58:31.000 They don't have a minute to think like, well, wait a minute, when should somebody certify election or commit to certifying an election?
00:58:37.000 They're just like, whoa, they didn't do the good thing!
00:58:39.000 I'll give you an example.
00:58:39.000 They're saying they won't do the good thing!
00:58:41.000 Salt in cookies.
00:58:43.000 Did you know that you put salt in your cookies when you make them?
00:58:46.000 Yes.
00:58:47.000 How many people have you ever run into, because I've run into a lot, where they get mad.
00:58:51.000 I've been in numerous occasions where I've been baking cookies, and when I pulled the salt out, they said, don't put salt in it, what are you doing?
00:58:58.000 Because they thought you don't put salt in desserts.
00:59:00.000 Which you literally do.
00:59:02.000 Wow, recipes.
00:59:03.000 But there are a lot of- Yeah.
00:59:05.000 Those would be terrible.
00:59:07.000 Knowing those cookies that didn't put any salt in them.
00:59:09.000 But a lot of people don't understand the point of putting salt in food.
00:59:13.000 And so they think cookies have sugar, not salt.
00:59:15.000 Don't put salt in it.
00:59:17.000 Someone who is smart enough to understand recipes can make cookies, but not smart enough to understand that...
00:59:24.000 Yeah, sometimes things sound counterintuitive.
00:59:26.000 It goes back to our educational system because they don't teach.
00:59:29.000 I mean, the whole word educate, I think in Greek or Latin, is to discover within, right?
00:59:35.000 And that used to be the process.
00:59:36.000 You would go and actually try to become educated.
00:59:40.000 You would learn, you have deductive reasoning, critical, you know, critical reasoning skills.
00:59:44.000 So you would learn not just reading, writing, arithmetic, but you would learn how to debate somebody, right?
00:59:50.000 You'd have these conversations.
00:59:51.000 I mean, try pulling an average person in on this show and have them just think and debate.
00:59:57.000 I mean, that just, sadly, that's not happening.
01:00:00.000 And I think it's, it's endemic of the educational system that we have today.
01:00:03.000 People just can't think for themselves.
01:00:04.000 So, so that is part and parcel of what I think you're going to say.
01:00:08.000 That's really a communist ideology.
01:00:11.000 Just to give somebody.
01:00:13.000 Here you go.
01:00:13.000 No, I was just going to bring up the fact that man on the street is a thing that everybody does for a reason because there are plenty of hilarious people out there.
01:00:23.000 I want to pull up this story here.
01:00:24.000 It's a tweet from Mike Benz.
01:00:27.000 He says, watch this incredible moment that a rep from the Pentagon Psychological Operations Research Firm pitched NATO's military PSYOP center on turning Taylor Swift into an asset for the Western Military Alliance to stop disinformation on the internet.
01:00:43.000 Excuse me?
01:00:43.000 Well, let me play first the beginning.
01:00:46.000 So the first one, that's the most famous and the most common, is working with famous people or main influencers to share information or a particular message.
01:00:58.000 Okay, now I'm going to pause real quick.
01:01:00.000 The image being displayed at SciCon, that's a C-Y-Con, it says identification and segmentation.
01:01:07.000 In the identification era, it shows Taylor Swift and it says goal.
01:01:10.000 Identify key actors to train and spread desired messaging.
01:01:14.000 Example.
01:01:15.000 Encourage opinion leaders to share counter I.O.
01:01:18.000 content.
01:01:19.000 Risk.
01:01:19.000 Opinion leaders may not want to share content or may accidentally share misleading content.
01:01:23.000 Let's play more.
01:01:24.000 So I include Taylor Swift in here because... Are you fucking kidding me?
01:01:30.000 So yes, Mike is clearly enjoying that they've included Taylor Swift in here, but I must stress Many people have been accusing Taylor Swift of being a psy-op or being in on psychological operations to some degree.
01:01:45.000 This is an example being given.
01:01:48.000 From what I can see here in this clip, the woman did not say, we literally are working with Taylor Swift.
01:01:53.000 She says, I use Taylor Swift as an example.
01:01:56.000 That being said, what people need to understand about the potential for psychological operations and high-level influencers are in on it, it's that You know, who was it?
01:02:07.000 I think I was talking to Seamus about this earlier.
01:02:10.000 We were talking about who's possibly a Fed in media.
01:02:13.000 Yeah.
01:02:13.000 We're talking about Ray Epps.
01:02:14.000 We have a little cork board.
01:02:17.000 Right.
01:02:17.000 Tim takes Polaroids of people when they do the podcast and we put them on the cork board with a bunch of yarn.
01:02:21.000 Red string we tie around the thumbtick.
01:02:23.000 And we're trying to figure it out.
01:02:24.000 So we actually don't.
01:02:25.000 We weeded a couple out, I think.
01:02:26.000 But we were talking about who may actually be Feds.
01:02:31.000 Let me inform all of you guys.
01:02:34.000 There are no feds.
01:02:35.000 There are feds, there are federal informants, but the idea that people working in media are secretly federal informants is just absolutely not the case.
01:02:43.000 The idea that Taylor Swift is a handler, I would say is absolutely not the case, but I will tell you what is very likely the case.
01:02:50.000 I explained this a long time ago, and I'll explain it to you all again.
01:02:54.000 You can go on Google Ads and choose to run advertisements of any sort on any channel you want.
01:03:00.000 So let's say you want a particular kind of political content to be successful.
01:03:07.000 If the CIA or the FBI wanted certain messaging to be dominant in this country, all they would have to do is create a proxy company Go on to Google Ads, buy ads at high rates on an individual's channel.
01:03:23.000 Let's say they're like Freedom Tunes, Seamus' channel, and they say his content he's producing is... Well, let's put it this way.
01:03:30.000 Let's accuse TimCast.
01:03:32.000 Let's go with TimCast.
01:03:33.000 We are anti-establishment, but we're not super far right or anything like that.
01:03:37.000 We're fairly moderate on the political positions, but we're very anti-establishment.
01:03:41.000 Notice he had to switch to Tim Cass to make that point.
01:03:44.000 Right, because Freedom Tunes is just too far out there.
01:03:46.000 But so the argument would be this.
01:03:49.000 If the federal government liked that, for instance, after Donald Trump was defeated by Joe Biden in the 2020 election, and I don't mean fairly, I'm literally saying Biden is in the White House, They, the feds then go, you know, look, we got a bunch of conservatives over here saying Trump won.
01:04:06.000 Then we got someone like Tim Poole, who almost agrees with them on all these other issues.
01:04:11.000 So he's got a big portion of the audience, but he is saying Joe Biden won.
01:04:14.000 What do they do?
01:04:15.000 Nobody emails me.
01:04:17.000 Nobody comes here, knocks on the door and says, Mr. Poole, we'd like to pay you to say these things for us.
01:04:21.000 What they do is, they target people who they think have the message they like, by ads, like indiscriminately and just discreetly.
01:04:31.000 On Google, and what I mean is they'll just, indiscriminately as in, they'll pull up a big thing of people and just throw money at them, and they don't care what you say, they don't ask you to say things, they just funnel money secretly through an automated programmatic system.
01:04:45.000 So when people argue that Taylor Swift is a psyop, they don't need to send someone to ask her to do it.
01:04:51.000 What happens is, Taylor Swift makes music, people like it.
01:04:55.000 Taylor Swift then says, I'm voting for Biden and Kamala Harris.
01:04:59.000 They say, you know, we really like that message.
01:05:01.000 Let's, uh, let's use one of our proxy companies to sponsor her next tour and give her a million dollars.
01:05:06.000 That million dollars will go towards her expanding her business.
01:05:09.000 That's the game.
01:05:10.000 Yeah.
01:05:10.000 That's how they run PsyOps.
01:05:12.000 Yeah, we were talking about this.
01:05:13.000 Also, you gotta remember, like, it's not as if you have to pay people to believe things that are wrong.
01:05:19.000 Every time someone says something that another person disagrees with, they'll go like, you're a grifter!
01:05:24.000 You're only saying that because it's a financial incentive.
01:05:26.000 As if no one has ever been incorrect about anything because they just came to the wrong conclusion on their own.
01:05:31.000 It's like, sometimes people just believe things that are wrong.
01:05:33.000 In fact, it's crazy, most of the time, People believe things that are wrong, and you don't have to believe that the federal government is paying somebody.
01:05:40.000 The reality is, we live in a system where people are not encouraged to choose virtue.
01:05:46.000 When you're not encouraged to choose virtue, you're going to take the path of least resistance as often as possible, and that means falling in line with opinions that are more popular, because it's difficult to argue for unpopular opinions.
01:05:57.000 That's all it is.
01:05:58.000 You don't have to fund anybody.
01:05:59.000 You don't have to run any kind of special operation to get pop artists.
01:06:03.000 Why does someone become a pop artist?
01:06:06.000 Why does someone become a famous actor?
01:06:08.000 Because they want to be liked.
01:06:09.000 So as long as the culture says being liked means having these opinions, then they're going to have those opinions.
01:06:14.000 You don't have to blackmail them.
01:06:16.000 You don't have to give them money.
01:06:17.000 I partly disagree.
01:06:20.000 A lot of people who get famous end up not liking being famous, and they quit.
01:06:24.000 They try to hide.
01:06:25.000 A lot of people who get famous enjoy being famous.
01:06:28.000 It's not absolute.
01:06:29.000 So, when I look at someone like Taylor Swift, I don't know so much that when she was a little kid, she said, I wish I was famous, other than she made music, the music got popular, and now she's famous.
01:06:39.000 There are certainly people who want nothing but to be famous, and what do you see?
01:06:43.000 They make up fake garbage on social media for clicks and likes, and that is a lot of people.
01:06:47.000 But even when it's not a pursuit of fame, and I'm not saying that there are no famous artists who just believe in their craft, but any kind of performance art is going to disproportionately attract people who are attention-seeking and want large crowds to like them.
01:07:01.000 Yeah.
01:07:02.000 It's like, it doesn't have to be a formal conspiracy anyways.
01:07:04.000 People are just doing what they want to do.
01:07:05.000 They're doing what's best for them, you know?
01:07:07.000 There's a much easier PSYOPs conspiracy that we all already know about.
01:07:11.000 And I will stress it again.
01:07:13.000 The feds don't need to go to any individual creator and offer them money or recruit them and they're secretly CIA.
01:07:20.000 It's actually much easier.
01:07:21.000 They send a national security letter to Facebook and they say, we want your algorithm to prop up this kind of content.
01:07:28.000 Yeah.
01:07:28.000 That's it.
01:07:29.000 And ban this kind of content.
01:07:31.000 This is where things actually start to get really scary.
01:07:35.000 I remember there was something my dad said to me when I was in high school.
01:07:38.000 I asked him, do you believe in any conspiracy theories?
01:07:39.000 And he said, no.
01:07:42.000 The government doesn't need to cover anything up because the media will just call you racist or sexist or homophobic or evil if you point out things that are actually happening.
01:07:50.000 and try to destroy you that way.
01:07:52.000 But nowadays that's not working like it used to.
01:07:56.000 So they actually do have to interfere in ways that they didn't before
01:08:00.000 because they don't control information as tightly as they used to,
01:08:03.000 which is why we saw, as Tim alluded to, the White House communicating with Facebook
01:08:09.000 about what kind of information should be allowed on that platform.
01:08:13.000 Yeah.
01:08:13.000 Yeah, I mean, this is not something that really should come as any kind of surprise.
01:08:22.000 We've talked about it here all the time.
01:08:23.000 So you're saying that Taylor Swift is working for this man?
01:08:27.000 I don't know.
01:08:27.000 I don't think that anyone...
01:08:30.000 I don't think there are actually assets like that.
01:08:33.000 I think that the incentive structures that are built up don't require that.
01:08:39.000 And it's the same thing when it comes to the deep state, right?
01:08:44.000 All the deep state is, is your average people that are bureaucrats that don't change when the administration, the policy people change.
01:08:54.000 But how cool would it be?
01:08:55.000 If Taylor Swift was like... At January 6th, telling people to riot.
01:09:00.000 She's down there going like... She's like, stop the steal!
01:09:03.000 No, no, no, I was gonna say, how cool would it be if, like, you know, 30, 34 years ago, two people are recruited by the CIA to have a child, which would go on to become a pop star to influence and control the minds of the youth, and then you've got, like, seven-year-old Taylor Swift learning, like, you know, I don't know, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and, like, Krav Maga, and then they're like, next up will be your Piano training.
01:09:26.000 And they'd make a teacher to sing.
01:09:28.000 That's hilarious.
01:09:29.000 And like the whole thing was one big military site to control the world's population through Tom Isaac.
01:09:34.000 Getting into the Donald Trump was a Soviet asset territory.
01:09:40.000 Trump was a Soviet attempt to raise someone, but they kind of screwed it up because they had like a lack of, you know, proper resources.
01:09:47.000 And then Trump went rogue and became like a world leader in the other direction.
01:09:50.000 I just, I like the idea that Taylor Swift is like a fed in the sense that people usually call attractive women online feds.
01:09:57.000 She's like in people's DMs telling them to commit gun crimes and stuff.
01:10:01.000 She's like, what if you drilled another hole?
01:10:04.000 There are no women online, remember that.
01:10:06.000 They're all feds.
01:10:06.000 Every woman online.
01:10:08.000 If a woman appears even remotely attractive on the internet, she is a fed.
01:10:12.000 That's factually true.
01:10:13.000 That is true.
01:10:13.000 That's the thing that's true about MMORPGs, right?
01:10:16.000 You'll see like a female character on it.
01:10:17.000 It's just a guy playing a female character.
01:10:19.000 That's right.
01:10:19.000 It's like women are playing Candy Crush, you know what I mean?
01:10:21.000 Yeah, that's true.
01:10:22.000 No, that's a fact.
01:10:23.000 That's actually true.
01:10:23.000 Women overwhelmingly play.
01:10:25.000 I love these reports where they're like, women now make up 51% of gamers.
01:10:28.000 And it's like, yeah, but you mean like Candy Crush and Angry Birds.
01:10:32.000 They do.
01:10:33.000 They do.
01:10:33.000 They do usually.
01:10:33.000 That's hilarious.
01:10:34.000 Like how many women are playing Baldur's Gate 3?
01:10:37.000 Like a small percentage, you know what I mean?
01:10:38.000 And you know what?
01:10:39.000 Women get so mad, and I'm saying this as a non-gamer, okay?
01:10:42.000 But women get so mad at guys for playing video games.
01:10:44.000 You don't hear guys out here knocking Candy Crush going like, I hate that my girlfriend plays Candy Crush.
01:10:49.000 Candy Crush is fun, dude.
01:10:50.000 But the girls are like, why is he always playing Call of Duty?
01:10:53.000 It's like, look at the apps on your own iPhone, okay?
01:10:56.000 Look at the games you're playing.
01:10:57.000 Like every guy knows this.
01:10:58.000 Those aren't the games they play, they play games with your head.
01:11:00.000 Remember when it was Fresh and Fit, they said women don't have hobbies?
01:11:03.000 Yeah, that's true.
01:11:05.000 Why would he say that?
01:11:07.000 It's because from a male perspective, they don't.
01:11:09.000 Women obviously have hobbies, but from a male perspective, they don't.
01:11:13.000 If I go to a skate park, there's going to be one woman for every 15 or 20 guys.
01:11:19.000 If I go to the poker room, there's going to be one woman for every 15 or 20 guys.
01:11:22.000 When you go to these kinds of things that guys normally do, you don't see that many women.
01:11:28.000 However, I don't know, is like, getting your hair done and like, fashion a hobby?
01:11:33.000 Some people argue it is.
01:11:34.000 And so it's like, what do women enjoy doing?
01:11:36.000 It's just not the same as what guys enjoy doing, so guys don't see women around all the time.
01:11:40.000 Well also, so this is my theory, and I think this is actually validated by a lot of the metrics we have, like IQ for example, but I think it applies across a wide span of human activities, where Men either tend to be, like, really good at things or really bad at things, whereas women tend to be more average.
01:11:55.000 So again, we see this with IQ.
01:11:56.000 Men and women have the same average IQ, but men are more likely to be smart or dumb, whereas women are more likely to actually just be average.
01:12:01.000 The greater male variability hypothesis.
01:12:03.000 Exactly.
01:12:03.000 And so I think that's why you see men in a lot more of these hobbies.
01:12:07.000 I think men are just more likely to become obsessive over something and get really into it, whereas women are more likely to be adorable.
01:12:15.000 Yeah, to generalize.
01:12:16.000 No, it's true.
01:12:17.000 And that's one of the cool things about being a man is like, there is this proclivity to just find something you're really interested in and obsess over it.
01:12:25.000 And I think that women have that to a degree for sure, but it manifests very differently.
01:12:30.000 Let's jump to the important news here.
01:12:32.000 Michelle Obama says she's terrified about potential outcome of 2024 election.
01:12:37.000 She's running.
01:12:38.000 So, the other day, a top strategist for JPMorgan said that Joe Biden will drop out in March following Super Tuesday.
01:12:45.000 I believe this makes the most sense as of right now.
01:12:48.000 It doesn't mean it's absolute, but it makes sense.
01:12:49.000 Why?
01:12:51.000 Many people said Joe Biden can't drop out.
01:12:53.000 It's too late to hold a primary.
01:12:55.000 Okay, but that's actually the best thing Democrats could do.
01:12:58.000 Keep Joe Biden in the race until it is too late to hold a primary.
01:13:01.000 Due to a medical issue, he is forced to bow out.
01:13:04.000 And then, because they can't have a primary, they get to appoint someone, the DNC does, bypassing the potential for Marianne Williamson, RFK Jr., or Cenk Uygur, stopping them from winning the nomination.
01:13:16.000 In this instance, with this story emerging of Michelle Obama now popping up and saying she's concerned about the outcome of 2024, I think there's a really great opportunity right now to put a wager on Michelle Obama winning the Democrat nomination or being the nominee against Donald Trump because, well, she's terrified about the potential outcome of 2024.
01:13:40.000 Where does that story go and why is she being asked?
01:13:43.000 Exactly.
01:13:43.000 Because in one month, she says, my fear of what's to come in 2024 is so great, I feel like I must do something about it.
01:13:51.000 A month after that, Joe Biden stumbles and falls.
01:13:54.000 Michelle Obama says my greatest fear has been realized.
01:13:57.000 Our great leader, Joe Biden, has fallen ill.
01:14:01.000 Someone tied his shoes together, and he tripped, and now he can't be president anymore.
01:14:05.000 A month later, she says, I must do my duty to prevent my greatest fear from coming to fruition.
01:14:12.000 I must run for the presidency.
01:14:13.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:14:14.000 It's self-sacrificing, and every politician has to have a narrative like this.
01:14:17.000 We saw this with Joe Biden.
01:14:18.000 The reason I ran for president was because of Charlottesville.
01:14:20.000 I saw what happened on television, and I said, I need to run.
01:14:23.000 I saw Charlottesville happening and said, I need to be the one running this country.
01:14:27.000 It's like, all right, Joe.
01:14:28.000 But that's the story that he went with, and they all try to have their own little origin story.
01:14:32.000 And so this is clearly hers.
01:14:33.000 She said, I'm just so nervous about what's happening.
01:14:35.000 Donald Trump, he's a criminal?
01:14:37.000 They're going to let this man be president?
01:14:38.000 If she runs, I think she wins.
01:14:40.000 Do you really think so?
01:14:42.000 I would have thought that a year or so ago.
01:14:44.000 I'm not as convinced.
01:14:45.000 You are blackfilled, man.
01:14:46.000 No, I mean, look it.
01:14:48.000 She's going to go.
01:14:49.000 You think she wins the general election?
01:14:51.000 Yeah, she goes and she sits down with Oprah and then like, All your soccer moms, all your wine moms are voting for?
01:14:58.000 I mean, the only people that won't vote for her are people that have actual grievance.
01:15:04.000 So the people that are really PO'd about things.
01:15:07.000 The people that have kids, that have dealt with LGBT issues at schools, those people are not going to switch because she's running.
01:15:15.000 But people that are just, people that are lightly Involved in politics that are middle that are middle class that that generally aren't feeling the effects of the economy or inflation.
01:15:26.000 Yeah, I Disagree for one simple reason these liberal minded suburban moms.
01:15:32.000 I don't think would vote for a black woman I think they're the reason they believe DEI stuff is because they're overtly racist I believe that the only way you end up with someone preaching about racism But then actually pushing for segregation like I saw in Sweden is that they're deeply racist and they're trying to prove they're not But in private, they're gonna be as racist as they can be.
01:15:52.000 Look at all of these liberal personalities who say racist things behind closed doors and they get busted for it or whatever.
01:15:58.000 I shouldn't say all these, but numerous stories over the past few years, and sexist things as well.
01:16:02.000 I'd be willing to bet all of these liberal Democrat wine mobs in the suburbs would be like, oh yeah, I'll vote for Michelle Obama, and then privately be like, no way I'm doing that, I'm voting for Donald Trump.
01:16:14.000 Tina Fey, in 30 Rock, not the Alien one, said in the first season,
01:16:21.000 I tell my friends I voted for Barack Obama, but I secretly voted for John McCain.
01:16:25.000 I think a lot of people will claim they're voting for Michelle Obama, and then they'll
01:16:30.000 be shocked when it's actually a narrow race and she doesn't do as well as people think.
01:16:34.000 Not to mention, I don't think that the nostalgia factor is going to play as well as they would hope.
01:16:39.000 Joe Biden came in, he trashed everything, and the issue now is it's not even necessarily about the person, it's about the party.
01:16:45.000 Joe Biden as a Democrat and the Democrats have done so poorly that Michelle Obama could run and she'll do better than Biden.
01:16:51.000 That's a fact.
01:16:53.000 But I don't know if it's enough to overcome Trump's success in the polls right now.
01:16:57.000 Yeah, also, I think one massive mistake that the Democrats have made over the past two years is they've actually turned parents into a voting bloc in a way that we've never seen before.
01:17:08.000 They've been like, well, you know, I just want to let you know if you're against porn being shown to children in schools, you're a big bad far-right extremist.
01:17:15.000 And then a bunch of parents went, all right, well, I guess I'm a big bad far-right extremist then, because I would rather be that than allow you perverts to groom my children.
01:17:24.000 And here we are.
01:17:26.000 No, you're both wrong.
01:17:27.000 She'll win.
01:17:29.000 You think so?
01:17:30.000 Oh, yeah, I do.
01:17:31.000 And that's not, obviously, clearly, I'm not endorsing Michelle Obama.
01:17:37.000 I'm endorsing, at least until the primary, I'm going to vote for Vivek in the primary because he's the guy that's talking about cutting government most.
01:17:44.000 Whoever is talking about cutting the government most is who I'm going to vote for.
01:17:48.000 I don't know, man.
01:17:48.000 I think you're endorsing Michelle.
01:17:50.000 You really seem to want her to win.
01:17:52.000 Well, anyways, you can think that.
01:17:54.000 It's cute, but I like to think here that Tim is right.
01:17:58.000 I would love it.
01:17:59.000 I would love it.
01:18:00.000 I would like to be wrong.
01:18:01.000 This is not some kind of thing where I'm like, oh man, this is what I'm hoping for.
01:18:04.000 I would love to be wrong.
01:18:06.000 But like I said, I am blackpilled as hell on what the American people want because I don't see, as much as we're seeing pushback against the people that are complaining about Palestine and protesting and stuff, I don't see enough pushback from your normal people.
01:18:22.000 For me to be like, oh, the general consensus is not the left-leaning consensus.
01:18:27.000 It's like the soma of life and everything is just so much.
01:18:29.000 There's nothing really pushing them to really feel like, hey, I got to do something about this.
01:18:33.000 Hey, I'm going to stand up and say something.
01:18:34.000 I think because I'm traveling around, even in my own state, I'm seeing people that are just being crushed by Bidenomics and inflation.
01:18:41.000 And it's the constant talk.
01:18:43.000 I've done over 50 town halls.
01:18:44.000 And what you just said, I think rings true, that people are just so fed up with Democrats and Democratic leadership.
01:18:51.000 And the lack thereof and how worse off they are today than they were under President Trump.
01:18:56.000 I hear that a lot.
01:18:57.000 I hope there's a lot of them.
01:18:58.000 I hope so, too.
01:18:59.000 But it is an interesting thought or comment about how people are so many Democrats are innately racist themselves.
01:19:06.000 Oh, I mean, and we saw that with you just made me think of the immigrants that they flew to Martha's Vineyard.
01:19:12.000 Right.
01:19:13.000 Exactly.
01:19:13.000 Right.
01:19:15.000 To see how quickly within 24 hours, they just went ahead and So there was that Yale study several years ago that found liberals drop their vocabulary level when speaking to black people.
01:19:26.000 And conservatives do not.
01:19:26.000 That's right.
01:19:27.000 Yeah.
01:19:28.000 And it's really obvious why.
01:19:29.000 Democrats, well, they've always been racist.
01:19:32.000 I mean, it's quite literally their party platform since the early days.
01:19:36.000 But they're like, hey, we switched the kind of racism that we have.
01:19:40.000 Yeah, they're still racist.
01:19:41.000 And so if you have your average liberal who encounters a black person and then tries to sound stupid on purpose.
01:19:48.000 It's crazy.
01:19:49.000 They're basically saying they think black people are stupid.
01:19:52.000 Whereas conservatives just talk to them like normal people because they just think they're normal people.
01:19:56.000 It's really insulting.
01:19:57.000 You think a person who does that is going to look at Michelle Obama and think that's the person they want to lead the country?
01:20:03.000 They may publicly act like they oppose racism, but from their own actions, they show that they actually look down on minorities, and when it comes to the private decision-making process, they're going to brag to the high heavens, I just voted for Michelle.
01:20:17.000 I actually voted for Trump, but I'm not telling my friends that because I'll get made fun of.
01:20:21.000 They're gonna vote for Trump!
01:20:23.000 Now, the challenge I think Trump has with a lot of these women, though, is that he's, like, nasty.
01:20:28.000 A lot of these liberal Democrat women are like, he grosses me out.
01:20:31.000 And so they're gonna be put to the test of whether or not to be more racist or disgusted.
01:20:35.000 And whether or not, like, which will play a bigger role.
01:20:38.000 I gotta be honest, I think many of these Democrats are so racist, they would say, well, I'm disgusted by Trump!
01:20:44.000 But they'd vote for him.
01:20:45.000 Because that's how racist I think they are.
01:20:47.000 That they wouldn't want to vote for Rochelle.
01:20:48.000 And I'm not saying every single one.
01:20:50.000 What we see in the data from this study is that a decent amount of liberals will lower their vocabulary level when talking to black people because they assume black people are stupid.
01:21:02.000 I mean, look at the voter ID thing!
01:21:03.000 Ami Horowitz with one of the greatest political videos ever made.
01:21:07.000 Have you seen this one?
01:21:08.000 Yeah.
01:21:08.000 He goes around asking black people.
01:21:10.000 He goes to Berkeley and he says, do you think voter ID is racist?
01:21:13.000 Like, yeah, of course, because black people don't know how to get the internet and can't get IDs.
01:21:17.000 And then he just goes to black neighbors in New York and he's like, do you have an ID?
01:21:19.000 And they're like, yeah.
01:21:20.000 And he's like, do you have the internet?
01:21:22.000 And I love this teenage, this like 20 year old guy's like, what do you mean?
01:21:24.000 Even a 13 year old kid's got the internet.
01:21:25.000 Yeah.
01:21:26.000 My favorite, though, was when he asks the guy, one of the Berkeley kids says, it's hard for them to get to the DMV, they don't know where it is.
01:21:34.000 And then he asks this older black guy, he's like, can I ask you a question?
01:21:36.000 Do you know where the DMV is?
01:21:38.000 And he goes, yeah, it's over there on 26.
01:21:39.000 He's gonna go down here and make a left.
01:21:41.000 Like the guy was asking for directions.
01:21:42.000 It was such a stupid question to ask a guy.
01:21:45.000 He assumed the guy needed help finding it.
01:21:47.000 Yeah, dude, it's hilarious.
01:21:49.000 Those people are going to vote for Michelle?
01:21:50.000 Yeah, right.
01:21:51.000 I mean, a lot of these, they might because it'll make them feel better about themselves and absolve themselves of their racism, but what's hilarious to me is that, you know, so for example, like as a voice actor, someone who does voices for cartoons, They'll say about me and other voice actors like, you could never do a black voice.
01:22:09.000 But then every time they talk to a black person, they try to do this weird impression of how black people speak.
01:22:16.000 And this is exactly what that study's talking about.
01:22:18.000 They'll like start using black slang and they'll, as the studies literally show, they will use a dumbed down vocabulary.
01:22:18.000 They'll do that.
01:22:25.000 It's like, this is insanely insulting.
01:22:27.000 And then you get bent out of shape over like a comedian doing an impression of a black person.
01:22:32.000 As a joke, when you're actually trying to do it in real life because you think that's how you should communicate with another group of people.
01:22:37.000 So there are times when I'm on tour where I have to go on vocal rest and I'm not allowed to talk, right?
01:22:42.000 So people walk in the room and I can't say anything.
01:22:44.000 Everyone must hate that.
01:22:45.000 It's super annoying.
01:22:46.000 It's the most annoying thing in the world.
01:22:47.000 But people...
01:22:49.000 They constantly come up and they don't know how to talk because I can't talk to them.
01:22:55.000 And so what they start doing is they start whispering, or they try to sign, and it's like, I'm the one that can't talk, dummy.
01:23:04.000 And I wonder if that's the same kind of thing.
01:23:06.000 They think that the person they're interacting with is unable to, so they try, if it's the same kind of like, if they're not thinking about it, it's the same kind of reaction.
01:23:16.000 So anyways, I just thought it was funny.
01:23:19.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:23:20.000 That's hilarious.
01:23:23.000 It's funny how if you focus on race and make that into everything you think about and everything that even matters, eventually it becomes the only thing you think about and the only thing that even matters.
01:23:32.000 It can't be any other way like that.
01:23:36.000 If you are constantly thinking about... The point of... There was all that talk about critical race theory.
01:23:43.000 The point of critical race theory was to awaken a critical racial consciousness.
01:23:50.000 So that way people would see things through the lens of a racial power dynamic all the time.
01:23:57.000 That was the whole point.
01:23:58.000 And so people were all focused about, oh, you know, they're not teaching critical race theory, blah, blah, blah in schools.
01:24:04.000 But what they were teaching kids was to see everything in a racialized way.
01:24:11.000 And that That creates racism.
01:24:14.000 That's what happens.
01:24:15.000 And not just in a racialized way, but there's an irony there.
01:24:19.000 It's called critical race theory, but there's only one race you're allowed to be critical of.
01:24:24.000 It's just white people bat.
01:24:25.000 That's all.
01:24:26.000 Well, I mean, that's the way that it pans out here, but what it is is it's just Marxist power dynamics.
01:24:32.000 So here it's white people, but when it was used in, we've talked about the Cultural Revolution, when it was used in the Cultural Revolution in China, it was Han Chinese were the dominant ethnicity.
01:24:43.000 And so it was Han privilege.
01:24:44.000 And all the stuff that we're seeing here, all the focus on race, it was all already done in China.
01:24:50.000 With different ethnicities that, you know, your average Westerner wouldn't know.
01:24:54.000 They wouldn't know the particulars about the ethnicities in China.
01:24:58.000 But there are a lot of different ethnicities and the same kind of power dynamics were used to justify oppressing the majority that had wealth and stuff like that.
01:25:06.000 So it's not new.
01:25:07.000 And the more we can reveal these things to people, these You know, similarities with some of the most horrible ideologies in human history, the better it's going to be.
01:25:20.000 But we have a big job in front of us.
01:25:22.000 Yeah, I mean, and it's no surprise that somebody tried this, right?
01:25:25.000 When it comes to the division that they've stoked between the races, because the fact that Americans of all different ethnicities and races got along as well as they did in the United States, It's just unbelievable.
01:25:39.000 It's never been perfect, but for a good chunk of time over the past few decades, it's pretty much been better than anywhere in the entire world, where multiple ethnicities have been in one place.
01:25:49.000 Including ethnicities that are really, really similar, whereas in the United States we have ethnic and racial groups that are far more different than those other ones are, where we see far more conflict.
01:25:49.000 Yes.
01:26:00.000 And so, it's a miracle that we were able to get things working as well as we did.
01:26:04.000 And so, it's no shock, it's no shock that someone trying to upset the system would come in and sow those seeds of discord.
01:26:11.000 Because it's a lot easier to destroy something like that than it is to build something like that.
01:26:16.000 It actually, it offers, the amount of racial and ethnic harmony that existed in the United States offers a tremendous opportunity for evil people to upset the system.
01:26:28.000 Because that doesn't exist anywhere else, so it has to be really easy to tear down And the way that you go about it is by attacking the things that transcend race, which are the fundamental principles that make America American.
01:26:46.000 It is, first of all, liberalism.
01:26:48.000 Conserving liberalism.
01:26:50.000 I want to get that point home because you're conserving liberalism.
01:26:53.000 I think people forget that all the time.
01:26:54.000 You're conserving liberalism.
01:26:58.000 Absolutely.
01:26:59.000 And the biggest problem right now that's going on, that we have, is that the progressives have convinced the Democrats, the liberal Democrats, that they are not liberal.
01:27:08.000 They have convinced them that progressive policies, which are based on race, or based on sex, or based on identity, that are prohibited, specifically prohibited by the Civil Rights Act, that these are continuations of the Civil Rights Act.
01:27:26.000 When they actually fly in the face of the Civil Rights Act.
01:27:30.000 The people that were marching during the Civil Rights Act in the 60s, they held signs that said, I am a man.
01:27:36.000 The point was they wanted to be seen as a human being.
01:27:40.000 And Jim Crow laws treated them as less than humans.
01:27:44.000 And now, The the focus is on I am black or I am this minority, which means don't see me for my humanity, which is my group 100% it is 180 degrees from everything the civil rights movement was focused on the civil rights movement It was intended to be liberal because it was intended to treat people based on their humanity and everything you hear now
01:28:07.000 is based on race and identity and that it flies in the face of liberalism and it flies in the face of the fundamental principles that the United States is based on.
01:28:23.000 100%.
01:28:23.000 I think another reason why that happens is because it's a system of control.
01:28:28.000 If they can create identity politics and tribalism the way that they have, You know, we got to get this group against that group.
01:28:35.000 It goes back to democracy.
01:28:37.000 Yes, much easier to divide.
01:28:39.000 You've got these many, you know, these groups that are everywhere pitted against each other.
01:28:44.000 You can control them much more effectively.
01:28:47.000 Hey, great time to be talking about this.
01:28:48.000 MLK, rest in peace.
01:28:49.000 Good time to be talking about this.
01:28:50.000 The thing is, Free World Day is the actual holiday.
01:28:52.000 Did anyone know off the top of their head MLK Day is what day?
01:28:55.000 No.
01:28:56.000 It's on the 16th.
01:28:57.000 16th, okay.
01:28:57.000 Right?
01:28:58.000 15th or 16th.
01:28:58.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:28:58.000 Yeah.
01:29:01.000 But yeah, I mean, the efforts that are being undertaken, the point is to tear at the foundation of the United States.
01:29:11.000 We talk about, you know, how they change the language and how they change the meaning of words.
01:29:17.000 I mentioned this the other night.
01:29:19.000 There's the effort to do land dedications, the impulse to do that.
01:29:24.000 That's all a terrible idea because it It gives credibility to the legitimacy of the idea that the land is stolen.
01:29:33.000 Now, throughout history, there has been conquered people throughout history.
01:29:37.000 That's the way, you know, countries have been formed and stuff.
01:29:40.000 And when you cast the creation of the United States in the light of illegitimate, that means that all property in the United States is now stolen property.
01:29:50.000 And that means that the Fourth Amendment doesn't protect it.
01:29:53.000 It doesn't, the takings clause doesn't, like, it's all up for grabs.
01:29:57.000 Once you change the meaning of words, all of the laws that we have, the meanings of the words change, all of those laws, they're all nothing more than a memory.
01:30:07.000 Because they're based on ideas. Yeah, you change the words the definition of the word you change the idea
01:30:11.000 fundamentally So yeah, totally great
01:30:13.000 And again, this also ties in how the idea of like what Mal did where he'd like be destabilizing on purpose
01:30:17.000 Yeah, and then be that stabilizing force. It gives legitimacy to them again. It's all about legitimizing their
01:30:22.000 claim to power Yep, which is you know?
01:30:24.000 Questionable, that's a lot of times. So yeah, how could you guys say something like that? Hey, I'm
01:30:29.000 On stolen land.
01:30:30.000 You know.
01:30:32.000 Sickening.
01:30:33.000 No, that argument was always so ridiculous to me.
01:30:34.000 It's like, okay, it's like, how can you have justice on stolen land?
01:30:37.000 It's like, I guess we can't have justice anywhere.
01:30:40.000 Ever.
01:30:40.000 Ever.
01:30:41.000 Literally forever.
01:30:42.000 Everything has been stolen.
01:30:44.000 So, uh, I just left the room.
01:30:46.000 Yeah.
01:30:47.000 I am now back in the room.
01:30:48.000 Our flight tonight was canceled because the blizzards in the Midwest are intense and the roads are basically shut down.
01:30:57.000 So we got this jet waiting for us and they said they can't do it.
01:31:01.000 So the bad news is this means that here's the plan.
01:31:06.000 We're gonna try again at 10 a.m.
01:31:08.000 to fly out.
01:31:10.000 But that means I'm not gonna be able to record my morning show as normal.
01:31:15.000 Oh man.
01:31:16.000 I just have to wake up at 6 a.m.
01:31:16.000 But there's a solution.
01:31:20.000 and record segments early and try and just record maybe, you know, because I normally record them in an hour, but it's over several hours of doing research and pulling up news stories and reading a lot.
01:31:30.000 So they may be what I would describe as lesser segments, like more cultural stories where I'm commenting on like a TikTok video or something, and then just get like three or four segments cranked out at like 6 a.m.
01:31:41.000 so we can make a 10 a.m.
01:31:41.000 flight.
01:31:42.000 Which means we will keep the Uncensored Members Only Show tonight a little bit shorter than we normally would in that maybe just a half an hour tonight instead of 50, 45, 50 minutes.
01:31:52.000 Okay.
01:31:52.000 So I can get to bed and wake up early and then we gotta fly to Des Moines, Iowa at 10 a.m.
01:31:58.000 tomorrow morning.
01:32:00.000 Oh, this is so brutal.
01:32:00.000 Hey, I heard Des Moines is great this time of year.
01:32:03.000 I mean, they got a blizzard!
01:32:04.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:32:05.000 But I think I'm really excited for this event that we're doing.
01:32:08.000 This Vivec Town Hall is very, very important for everything that's going on.
01:32:12.000 So we're gonna have to figure out how to make it work.
01:32:14.000 And I can sleep when I'm dead.
01:32:17.000 Yeah!
01:32:18.000 The plan is gonna be, we'll, you know... That's what I've been saying with this campaign.
01:32:22.000 I could sleep in six months, you know.
01:32:23.000 That's right.
01:32:24.000 I'll just wait.
01:32:24.000 You gotta get the grind.
01:32:25.000 Keep going.
01:32:26.000 Wake up, get it done.

01:33:41.000 He has, of course, won the first place position by the, uh, being the first Super Chat.
01:33:46.000 Jose Alfredo Diaz says, first.
01:33:48.000 Sorry, sir.
01:33:49.000 You are second.
01:33:52.000 Straight Common Sense Asian says, so happy to see you on my favorite newscast.
01:33:56.000 You better nail it.
01:33:58.000 Your wife next appointment depends on it.
01:34:00.000 Haha.
01:34:02.000 I know exactly who that is.
01:34:03.000 Shout out to Hung.
01:34:04.000 He's the great, the great, happy, happy design nail salon in my city and where my wife goes constantly.
01:34:12.000 And so he is a huge, huge fan.
01:34:14.000 That's that's great.
01:34:19.000 All right.
01:34:20.000 I'm just checking on the flights here, because... Oh, this is going to be so brutal.
01:34:25.000 Things change fast, too.
01:34:26.000 I know.
01:34:27.000 But we're doing big stuff this year.
01:34:28.000 It's going to be a big year, and we've got a bunch of big shows planned.
01:34:32.000 Don Jr.
01:34:33.000 is going to be coming on the show this week while we're in Des Moines, because everybody's trying to get their last-minute pitches in for the caucus, and it's going to be really, really great.
01:34:40.000 Alright, here we go.
01:34:42.000 Jacob Parody says, did anybody see JP Morgan's 10 Shockers 2024?
01:34:46.000 Well, the one I can mention is that Joe Biden drops out.
01:34:49.000 There were a couple others that I didn't really care that much about.
01:34:52.000 I don't know if you guys read the full list, but I'm sure there's something in there that's probably more interesting, or it could be interesting.
01:34:59.000 Right?
01:35:00.000 Alright.
01:35:02.000 Western Body says, second vote early, vote second.
01:35:06.000 Vote early, vote often.
01:35:08.000 Yes.
01:35:09.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:35:10.000 says, simple question, need only simple answers.
01:35:13.000 There's no need for all the meaningless hoopla that makes you sound not confident with your answer.
01:35:18.000 That's right.
01:35:19.000 Yeah, today, in the arguments, in the Trump appeal on immunity, I'm really frustrated with Trump's lawyer trying to, like, the judge said to the lawyer, if the president committed an assassination and ordered SEAL Team 6 to do it, you're saying that they could not be prosecuted if they weren't impeached.
01:35:41.000 The answer to that is, correct, I am saying that they cannot be impeached.
01:35:44.000 Instead, the lawyer is like, no, it's qualified, qualified, yes, I mean, like, if he's impeached, and the judge is like, let me try again.
01:35:52.000 Now it is annoying the way the judges are asking questions, but if you're making a point, it's just as simple.
01:35:57.000 No, the president cannot be criminally charged or indicted unless he has been impeached and convicted.
01:36:04.000 Next question.
01:36:05.000 It's that simple.
01:36:07.000 Alright.
01:36:09.000 The Silence says, first, no sir, you're very very off, sorry.
01:36:14.000 He says, watch Chainsaw Man, peak anime.
01:36:16.000 I've heard of it, I haven't watched it.
01:36:18.000 I'm actually just re-watching Yu Yu Hakusho.
01:36:21.000 Oh, you like Ghost Detective?
01:36:22.000 Well, of course, but Netflix made a live version, which is just so awful.
01:36:27.000 I'm not even gonna watch it.
01:36:28.000 It's only five episodes, and it tries to condense, like...
01:36:32.000 Elements of the whole show into one It's really funny because he like for no reason goes to get
01:36:39.000 trained by Genkai And then he's there for literally ten minutes out of the
01:36:42.000 show But then he's like no when she dies, and it's just like
01:36:45.000 It just doesn't work. Sorry your live-action you you haka shit does not work
01:36:45.000 what?
01:36:49.000 But the actual show itself was awesome. Yeah, true. All right where we at
01:36:54.000 What do we have is it?
01:36:56.000 Zachary McCoy says, why will people say there's no good candidates with this Biden-Trump election again, but not even consider Vivek?
01:37:03.000 We are doomed.
01:37:04.000 Seriously.
01:37:06.000 It's fascinating to me that Vivek is not Trump in terms of character and candor.
01:37:12.000 He's America first.
01:37:14.000 But you have these people like, I'm gonna vote for Nikki Haley.
01:37:16.000 I wouldn't vote for Trump.
01:37:16.000 And it's like, well, then why wouldn't you just vote for Vivek?
01:37:18.000 America first, protect the economy, real business experience.
01:37:24.000 I think it's because I like him.
01:37:27.000 You're turning everybody off.
01:37:30.000 Poor Vivek.
01:37:31.000 He tells the truth, and then the media lies about him.
01:37:34.000 But that's what they do with everybody.
01:37:37.000 If Vivek went up on stage and said January 6th was an inside job, He goes up on stage and he goes, it's looking more like January 6th is an inside job and I want to fund the military-industrial complex to blow up foreign countries.
01:37:49.000 And CNN would be like, he's completely right about everything.
01:37:51.000 He's correct.
01:37:51.000 January 6th was an inside job.
01:37:53.000 More money for the military-industrial complex.
01:37:56.000 But the moment he says we shouldn't be engaging in foreign wars and providing all this foreign funding, they're like, he's crazy!
01:38:02.000 It's the worst.
01:38:04.000 Yep.
01:38:06.000 All right.
01:38:07.000 Matthew Rowe says, Tim, Jews and tunnels sounds like some World War II-ish.
01:38:12.000 That's actually a really great point.
01:38:14.000 Yeah.
01:38:14.000 If it is true that the reason they built the tunnel, and I heard this, is because the city locked down places of worship illegally and unconstitutionally, and they were fighting for their right to worship, they were in the right to do so.
01:38:25.000 And they did so non-violently.
01:38:26.000 I can respect that.
01:38:27.000 Now I do have concerns about the structural integrity of the building, so, you know, digging tunnels underground can be very dangerous.
01:38:33.000 And also, I just want to say, to all my Catholics, on behalf of all the other Catholics, we are slacking.
01:38:40.000 Like, they have tunnels, where are our catacombs?
01:38:43.000 Where are the catacombs under the large cities that Catholics live in?
01:38:48.000 Stephen Bordelmay says, here is some money, some spoon money, Tim.
01:38:51.000 I hear they keep going missing for some reason.
01:38:53.000 Hey, Seamus.
01:38:54.000 Hey, how's it going?
01:38:56.000 You know, so this morning, we have these little mugs that we got from REI.
01:39:03.000 They're like a thermos, but they're mugs.
01:39:06.000 Yeah, what about them?
01:39:07.000 And, oh, I have one and Allison has one.
01:39:09.000 Yeah, those are nice.
01:39:10.000 And Allison uses hers because when she pours her coffee in it, you can put a lid on it, and it's not quite a thermos, but it's a mug that keeps things warm.
01:39:18.000 Well, hers was gone.
01:39:19.000 This morning.
01:39:19.000 Huh.
01:39:19.000 That's weird.
01:39:20.000 And she was wondering where it went.
01:39:22.000 And she noticed that this strange thing keeps happening where mugs from our kitchen keep appearing in the studio building.
01:39:29.000 As if someone is taking our mugs, who's staying at our house, and then walking out with them, walking to the studio while drinking the coffee, and then leaving it in the other kitchen.
01:39:29.000 That is weird.
01:39:38.000 That's really weird.
01:39:40.000 Yeah, I wonder why that's happening.
01:39:40.000 It is very strange.
01:39:41.000 It must be a ghost.
01:39:42.000 I think we probably should get paranormal investigators or at least just check the security camera footage on the property for sure.
01:39:48.000 The only explanation is that a ghost is making coffee and then carrying the cups into the studio and perhaps the ghost is in the room right now with us.
01:39:56.000 Yeah, it's only been here for like the last two or three days, right?
01:39:58.000 Two or three days.
01:39:59.000 It's really weird.
01:40:00.000 Why would the ghost get here when I got here?
01:40:01.000 I know!
01:40:02.000 The ghost must be following you!
01:40:04.000 Do you really think so?
01:40:06.000 Yes, perhaps.
01:40:07.000 It's a ghost, Seamus.
01:40:09.000 Dude, I don't even want to think about that.
01:40:10.000 That's freaking me out.
01:40:11.000 That's freaking me out.
01:40:13.000 Um, in other words, Seamus is stealing our mugs.
01:40:15.000 What?!
01:40:16.000 Hold on, that's where you were going with that?!
01:40:18.000 Are you s- That's ridi- Hold on a second.
01:40:20.000 We don't actually have any evidence that any of this happened.
01:40:23.000 Alice, I would never- I look out my window and I see Seamus drinking his coffee and walking up the hill.
01:40:27.000 Listen, you guys know me.
01:40:29.000 I would never do that.
01:40:31.000 I would never do something like that.
01:40:33.000 You know me.
01:40:34.000 The funny thing about the spoons thing was that it was like three spoons.
01:40:39.000 It was like three spoons.
01:40:41.000 And I didn't even take them.
01:40:42.000 And Seamus is the one who turned it into this big meme because he wanted attention for himself.
01:40:45.000 No, that never even happened.
01:40:47.000 I didn't take anything.
01:40:48.000 You guys know me.
01:40:49.000 You know I wouldn't do that.
01:40:50.000 So what actually happened is like, Allison noticed that some spoons were not in the kitchen.
01:40:54.000 She's like, oh, there's some spoons.
01:40:56.000 Like, do you think Seamus has them downstairs?
01:40:57.000 Why would I say that?
01:40:57.000 Yeah.
01:40:58.000 Why would I say that when I never took your spoons?
01:41:00.000 That's so offensive towards me and my ethnic people.
01:41:02.000 and puts them in the sink and then Seamus goes, there's an Irish man living under my house stealing my
01:41:06.000 Why would I say that? Why would I say that when I never took your spoons?
01:41:06.000 spoons.
01:41:10.000 That's so offensive towards me and my people.
01:41:13.000 Irish man living under my house stealing my spoons.
01:41:16.000 Seamus made that up and then when we all laughed at it, Seamus denied it ever happened.
01:41:20.000 I would never do that.
01:41:22.000 Anyway.
01:41:23.000 It's not true.
01:41:24.000 Tim said I made a secret tunnel under his house to steal spoons.
01:41:27.000 I'm like, what is this?
01:41:29.000 He's like, I hear people speaking Irish under my apartment.
01:41:33.000 I have no basement.
01:41:34.000 I don't know where this is.
01:41:35.000 I saw an Irishman coming out of the ground in front of my house.
01:41:38.000 I smacked the camera.
01:41:40.000 Yeah, and then runs.
01:41:40.000 Zach Ayasi says, be safe in your travels tonight.
01:41:43.000 Most of our roads here in Iowa are listed as mostly covered.
01:41:46.000 Uh, to travel not advised as I'm getting ready for work.
01:41:49.000 Well, the crew said they will not fly.
01:41:52.000 And, uh, so we're gonna fly first thing in the morning.
01:41:54.000 And I'm just groaning like, ugh.
01:41:57.000 It's so expensive.
01:41:59.000 We just, like, we can't cancel it.
01:42:01.000 And, you know, so, uh, we're talking with the crew and figuring things out.
01:42:04.000 But I'm gonna wake up at six in the morning and try and record as much as I can.
01:42:07.000 To have some segments up.
01:42:09.000 And, uh, then, you know, it just, uh, oof.
01:42:12.000 Oof.
01:42:14.000 MitchTheEngineer says, Tim, can I get a birthday shout-out?
01:42:16.000 Also, does anyone know if the Ray Epps judge oversaw any of the rest of the J6 trials, maybe have grounds for an appeal?
01:42:27.000 I don't know if you can appeal based on determinations of different judges like that.
01:42:30.000 But happy birthday, MitchTheEngineer.
01:42:32.000 Yeah, happy birthday.
01:42:34.000 All right, where are we at?
01:42:37.000 Let's see, Fat Hravski says, looks like Trump has the perfect defense with Ray Epps.
01:42:42.000 Would you agree?
01:42:44.000 No, because Trump does not want to argue he in any way incited anybody to go into the Capitol.
01:42:51.000 So if he says, I incited people, but look, you can't criminally charge me, then he's just admitting what they want him to admit.
01:42:56.000 Yeah, I think just to the contrary, right?
01:43:00.000 I mean, he said many times, peacefully, go up to the Capitol.
01:43:04.000 I don't think there's any evidence.
01:43:06.000 He's never been convicted of conspiracy, of insurrection, charged, convicted, nothing.
01:43:12.000 And yet he's going through all of this right now.
01:43:14.000 That's where I love Vivek, I gotta say.
01:43:14.000 Yep.
01:43:16.000 He's phenomenal.
01:43:18.000 I mean, I went out, when I got endorsed by Charlie Kirk, I was able to meet him.
01:43:22.000 Brilliant, brilliant guy.
01:43:23.000 Oh yeah, absolutely brilliant guy.
01:43:26.000 Donald Trump, I have endorsed because I can see what's going on.
01:43:31.000 The deep state, what we've talked about here.
01:43:34.000 I mean, there's so much going on where he has exhibited that strength to stand up and push back.
01:43:40.000 That is exactly what we need right now.
01:43:42.000 Vivek needs to stay in this race because they're doing everything they can to remove Trump from it.
01:43:47.000 And if something happens in the next few months where Donald Trump is removed from the primary, we are going to be very grateful that we have Vivek as an option in the primary.
01:43:55.000 Now, I don't know what that means in terms of voting for Trump, but this is going to get really wild, and we are looking at 1860 levels of, like, election.
01:44:03.000 Okay?
01:44:04.000 Electioneering and election history.
01:44:08.000 Four candidates in the election in 1860.
01:44:11.000 We could be looking at four candidates this time around.
01:44:14.000 Let's say Donald Trump is booed from the ballot, so he announces, I'm still running, you can't stop me.
01:44:21.000 He runs as an independent.
01:44:22.000 The Republican primary is defaulted through this process to Nikki Haley.
01:44:27.000 Then RFK Jr.
01:44:28.000 runs independent, and Joe Biden or Michelle Obama.
01:44:31.000 You have four candidates.
01:44:33.000 Trump easily wins that four-way race.
01:44:33.000 And what happens?
01:44:35.000 No question.
01:44:37.000 And the only way Trump does win is if it is split three ways like that.
01:44:41.000 Trump's base is massive.
01:44:43.000 It's like 40% of the GOP.
01:44:44.000 They will write Trump in.
01:44:46.000 He will lose 60% of that vote, but it will be split among RFK Jr.
01:44:52.000 in a tiny degree.
01:44:53.000 Nikki Haley will not get as much as people think.
01:44:56.000 Michelle Obama may get a bunch, but I think Trump wins the plurality in that regard.
01:45:00.000 And that will be a strong justification Democrats will use for either some kind of secession or rebellion, because they'll say, Donald Trump is the president, but only won 29% of the vote.
01:45:10.000 We'll see, though.
01:45:15.000 Victor Gordon says Casprew should work on creamers to pair with the coffees.
01:45:18.000 And I just got my first order today, love it!
01:45:20.000 Yo, I'm sorry man, like Appalachian Nights, the Casprew blend that we made, like we got the samples, we tried it out.
01:45:28.000 It was my idea, I said here's what I think would be really good, we'll try it.
01:45:31.000 It is the best coffee I've ever had, no question.
01:45:33.000 It's a dark roast, it's a blend that we came up with, and it's just, man, once you drink Appalachian Nights, I'm sorry man, it'll ruin coffee for you, it's so good.
01:45:42.000 Seriously that good.
01:45:42.000 Yep.
01:45:44.000 As long as you brew it right.
01:45:45.000 But I'm really excited for the Alec Stein's Prime Time Grind 2x Caffeine that we just put out.
01:45:50.000 A lot of people are talking about how they like certain double caffeine blends, and now they have an option from Cast Brew.
01:45:56.000 Ian's blend is going to be a low acidity blend.
01:46:00.000 So we're looking at coffees with low acidity to create the perfect coffee that is low acidity.
01:46:06.000 And that's going to be Ian's graphene dream.
01:46:09.000 And that actually should be coming out in a few weeks.
01:46:11.000 We're really excited for it.
01:46:12.000 The bags look so cool.
01:46:13.000 I mean, Jessica is such an amazing artist.
01:46:15.000 The graphene style bag and everything.
01:46:17.000 We're really excited for this.
01:46:20.000 Ian says, let's hope the judges come to the conclusion presidents can be charged.
01:46:25.000 Then every conservative DA can file against Joe and demand he be arrested.
01:46:29.000 Yeah, but come on, you know they're not gonna.
01:46:33.000 They're going to be like, oh, geez, what do I do?
01:46:40.000 Your point presumes that anyone in Republican politics at that level is useful.
01:46:46.000 I'm going to put you here on the spot, good sir, running for the Senate.
01:46:51.000 Does the Second Amendment protect the right of children to keep and bear arms?
01:46:55.000 Protect the right of children to keep and bear arms?
01:47:00.000 Well, I would think it is applicable to every U.S.
01:47:03.000 citizen, so yes.
01:47:04.000 You are correct.
01:47:05.000 Particularly in most states, they actually have codified the laws as it pertains to children keeping and bearing arms.
01:47:11.000 That means this requires parental supervision or some kind of permitting process, but it is protected.
01:47:17.000 So we saw this with the Rittenhouse case, where the argument was, he's not old enough to keep and bear arms.
01:47:23.000 Ah, but the provision actually says you can be under the age of majority and keep and bear arms for specific reasons.
01:47:29.000 And if you actually go back in time, you can see where this applies very easily.
01:47:34.000 A 13-year-old kid would be given a rifled musket to go out on the hunt with the father, and so in most circumstances, children can bear arms so long as they're accompanied by their parents.
01:47:42.000 And that makes sense.
01:47:43.000 The next question, put you on the spot.
01:47:44.000 Does the Second Amendment protect the right of private persons to keep and bear nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction, and warships?
01:47:55.000 I'm going to say no.
01:47:56.000 The answer is yes.
01:47:58.000 Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin are private entities and private persons as per the U.S.
01:48:03.000 tax law and code, and they're the ones who build our warships and our missiles and our weapons.
01:48:08.000 So yes, private persons, as per U.S.
01:48:10.000 law, do keep and bear weapons of war and mass destruction.
01:48:13.000 So typically... Private persons to include corporations.
01:48:17.000 Yes, but it also does mean individuals.
01:48:18.000 Individuals because the only reason it's a corporation is because the amount of wealth required to do such a thing.
01:48:25.000 And you're going to want to limit your liability.
01:48:27.000 You know, it's like if you're if you're a private person, you're not going to be like, I, as my sole proprietorship, I'm going to build a hellfire missile because you'll be very much responsible personally in all your assets.
01:48:35.000 But, um.
01:48:36.000 You know, I've asked a lot of conservative politicians and liberal politicians, and they always say no, and I'm just like, who do you think's making our bombs?
01:48:42.000 It's private corporations.
01:48:43.000 Yes, you can fill out FFLs and say you're building a nuke.
01:48:47.000 So it's always been the case that the Second Amendment protected the right of citizens to own cannons, warships, etc.
01:48:53.000 I love that factoid because it's actually quite simple.
01:48:55.000 It sounds more complicated and trickier than it is.
01:48:58.000 If someone thinks it sounds unreasonable, you just say, like, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon are private entities as per U.S.
01:49:04.000 law.
01:49:05.000 They're not the government.
01:49:06.000 Regulated and permitted and all that stuff, of course, of course.
01:49:09.000 But they have missiles.
01:49:11.000 So there you go.
01:49:13.000 It's always been the case, huh?
01:49:14.000 Privateers and Corsairs, etc.
01:49:16.000 Alright, let's read some more.
01:49:18.000 Paul Tascalo says, Tim, I own a private jet charter company, Vault Aviation.
01:49:23.000 I'll donate $2,500 to a charity of your choice for the opportunity to quote your next trip.
01:49:28.000 P.S.
01:49:28.000 Be prepared to pay a $5,000 plus de-ice fee on your Iowa flight today.
01:49:33.000 Oh, don't you know it?
01:49:34.000 Don't I know it?
01:49:36.000 So, the cost of this trip is very, very expensive.
01:49:36.000 Absolutely.
01:49:40.000 It is absurdly expensive.
01:49:42.000 Plus, we've got the deadhead, the storage of the plane while we're in Iowa, because it's got to fly us back, because we're flying back Monday night.
01:49:49.000 It's brutal.
01:49:50.000 And then, of course, we have de-icing fees.
01:49:52.000 Now, we may dodge de-icing because, um, we're flying tomorrow, and it's gonna be sunny and cold, so, um, we likely will still have- I think when we're leaving, we may be okay, depending- based on the weather, but, uh, you know, we'll see.
01:50:06.000 Yeah, probably gonna have some kind of de-icing fee, I think it's probable, but we may- we may dodge it.
01:50:10.000 But, uh, Vault Aviation, let me, uh, let me write that down right now, and, uh, we'll take a note of this.
01:50:18.000 I'm writing it down.
01:50:23.000 Yeah, you know, I hope we're able to make it.
01:50:25.000 It'd be really, really cool if we can.
01:50:27.000 If not, you know, we'll make the best of it.
01:50:28.000 We'll still have some awesome shows.
01:50:30.000 Yeah, so, uh, it's brutally expensive.
01:50:33.000 I mean, uh...
01:50:37.000 It's not been the... I'll just say this.
01:50:40.000 We started flying private because it's the only way we can do some of these shows and make them happen.
01:50:47.000 And I'm not some, you know, cringe climate change bleeding heart.
01:50:50.000 I don't mind flying private.
01:50:52.000 Don't complain about it.
01:50:53.000 But the prices have been going up substantially.
01:50:55.000 It's crazy.
01:50:56.000 You know, it's like...
01:50:57.000 We're getting a private jet for one trip where we're doing a big show, and it can seat eight or nine people.
01:51:03.000 And the cost is usually like, if you're flying your crew out there, it's basically twice the cost of first class.
01:51:10.000 Would we give every employee first class?
01:51:12.000 No, but it's like, oh man, the amount of time you save.
01:51:18.000 If we're gonna fly crew out, and I put them on a commercial jet, and the jet gets delayed, or the baggage gets damaged, we can't set up the show, we're screwed.
01:51:26.000 So it's basically like, welcome to the PJ, ladies and gentlemen, because we're all gonna get there on time, we're gonna set the show up, we're gonna build the studio out, it's a lot of work, we're not gonna get any sleep, it's gonna be a little bit more expensive than usual, but we're gonna have a great show and it's gonna matter.
01:51:39.000 That's what it's all about.
01:51:39.000 That's right.
01:51:41.000 All right.
01:51:43.000 TRD says, didn't AOC confirm or allude to Capitol personnel aiding protesters in regards to J6 to Alex Stein?
01:51:51.000 Well, we don't have the video pulled up, but you are correct.
01:51:51.000 Play the video.
01:51:53.000 She did, yeah.
01:51:54.000 AOC said, why were police helping them?
01:51:56.000 Yeah, well, it's an inside job, according to AOC, according to CNN, according to Joe Scarborough.
01:51:59.000 So I think it's a case closed.
01:52:03.000 Alright!
01:52:04.000 MonkInTraining says, I'm Jewish.
01:52:06.000 Was this tunnel in Brooklyn?
01:52:08.000 The Hasidus is there that Rabbi was a dynamic leader and polyglot.
01:52:14.000 The idea that he's the Messiah is fringe in the U.S.
01:52:16.000 but popular in the Hasidic sect everywhere else on earth.
01:52:19.000 Really?
01:52:20.000 Interesting.
01:52:22.000 That's interesting.
01:52:24.000 But he died, what, 30 years ago?
01:52:27.000 Uh, yeah, it was the 90s. 94.
01:52:30.000 Kida says, today Poland president harbored two politicians who were sentenced for two years by SC for corruption.
01:52:38.000 They refused to leave the presidential palace.
01:52:40.000 After eight hours of standoff, the police finally went in and executed the arrest.
01:52:44.000 Very interesting.
01:52:45.000 Also, Ecuador's in civil war, I think?
01:52:48.000 Yep.
01:52:48.000 Crazy.
01:52:48.000 Yep.
01:52:50.000 A bunch of armed gunmen stormed a TV station?
01:52:53.000 Dude.
01:52:53.000 Guys.
01:52:54.000 I mean, we should have pulled it up, I guess.
01:52:56.000 Let's talk about this in the members only.
01:52:58.000 Watch these videos.
01:52:59.000 About what happens when social order breaks down.
01:53:02.000 You're like, I can't believe a bunch of armed gunmen in t-shirts stormed into a television broadcast pointing guns at people.
01:53:09.000 It's that quick.
01:53:10.000 Humans can do human stuff, man.
01:53:12.000 The human rules matter little.
01:53:14.000 It's all confidence.
01:53:17.000 The rabbi acts as shame as I was literally taught how to read Hebrew in Hebrew school.
01:53:21.000 Rabbi was completely unconcerned if we knew what we were reading, just how fast and good sounding it was.
01:53:26.000 I can't even read it now.
01:53:27.000 Wow.
01:53:28.000 That means he was more concerned than the average public school teacher is with ensuring students can read in English.
01:53:33.000 Yeah.
01:53:33.000 Yeah.
01:53:34.000 That's crazy.
01:53:35.000 But that's interesting, because that was one thing I always admired.
01:53:37.000 One thing that always made me sad is that Catholics stopped teaching their kids to read and speak in Latin.
01:53:42.000 I think that's a massive loss.
01:53:44.000 I wish I was taught that as a child.
01:53:45.000 So I always thought it was cool that Hebrews still did that.
01:53:49.000 It's interesting to learn, though, that many of them don't care, because that's one of the three sacred languages, right?
01:53:54.000 Latin, Hebrew, and Greek.
01:53:56.000 Steel Toad says, when an extremely smart individual turns their intellect to activism, they focus that intellect to that desired outcome.
01:54:03.000 Positive or nefarious, they will focus on that objective.
01:54:06.000 You know, I think there's an important thing to mention when it comes to intelligence.
01:54:10.000 When we talk about race and intelligence, there's this like, Liberal offense that's taken by it that people could have different intelligence averages based on their race.
01:54:20.000 I think that's stupid because it presupposes that intelligence is better than other characteristics without actually addressing any other characteristics of any other race.
01:54:31.000 The assumption there is that intelligence is the most prized attribute of humanity, and I don't think that's correct.
01:54:38.000 I certainly think it's fairly obvious when I went to Thailand, and it was on Chinese New Year, and when I went to this big market, you know what I saw?
01:54:47.000 Over the heads of every person.
01:54:50.000 Because me being 5'10", 5'10 and a half, mind you, the average height in Thailand was lower.
01:54:56.000 It was like 5'6", 5'7".
01:54:58.000 So when I'm standing there, I'm actually taller than everybody.
01:54:59.000 I'm like, wow, this is really interesting.
01:55:01.000 Yes, this racial group has a slight difference in their builds.
01:55:07.000 I went to Sweden and I was short.
01:55:10.000 Even the women are six feet tall in Sweden.
01:55:12.000 Me too.
01:55:14.000 But there was this discussion from Sam Harris, I think it was Sam Harris and I think it was a handful of other IDW people talking about, that it's not as extreme as the media might make it seem when making these arguments, but there's likely a genetic component in intelligence as well as every other attribute, but that is not to say that it determines the capabilities of an entire racial group.
01:55:40.000 Like, if you argue that Koreans have high IQs, but then you raise this kid in a civil war with no food, yeah, they're gonna be developmentally stunted.
01:55:49.000 If you bring anyone from any other country and give them the internet, tutors, wealth, and access, they're gonna be one of the smartest people on the planet.
01:55:57.000 I don't think it plays that big a role, but, you know, fun stuff.
01:56:01.000 I think we should recognize that there are other attributes human beings have besides intelligence that have value.
01:56:08.000 Alright, let's see where we're at.
01:56:11.000 Hypebot says, Phil is 100% correct about Michelle Obama.
01:56:14.000 The average U.S.
01:56:15.000 voter is basically mindless.
01:56:17.000 Name recognition is the number one thing.
01:56:19.000 Number two is, do I hate this person?
01:56:21.000 A far third place is actual policy.
01:56:23.000 Well, I agree with that.
01:56:25.000 But I just think liberals, and especially like these liberal suburban Democrat moms, are just really racist.
01:56:31.000 I'm rooting for Tim to be right, by the way.
01:56:34.000 Well, let's say this.
01:56:35.000 Are they racist?
01:56:37.000 Well, I think they are, but I don't think they're aware that they're racist.
01:56:39.000 It's not even a question.
01:56:40.000 Of course they're... Like, I won't say all of them, but people on the left... I mean, one of the platforms at this point is you have to hate white people.
01:56:45.000 So, yes, they're racist.
01:56:46.000 But I mean against black people.
01:56:48.000 If we want to count, like, soft bigotry of low expectations as racism, absolutely.
01:56:51.000 And that just means a racist with a guilty conscience.
01:56:54.000 Yes.
01:56:55.000 So, they have a guilty conscience.
01:56:57.000 That doesn't mean they're actually going to trust someone to run the country.
01:57:00.000 The mentality of these liberal women will probably be something like, You know, I really support the efforts of these poor, underprivileged people, but the right decision for my family will be Donald Trump.
01:57:12.000 Because they're racist.
01:57:14.000 They would discount a person's candidacy based on race.
01:57:16.000 I think that's fairly... I think that's a good bet.
01:57:19.000 A good bet.
01:57:23.000 Thomas TJG says, has Phil ever used vocal rest as an excuse to avoid conversations with D-bags?
01:57:23.000 Oh, let's go.
01:57:32.000 On tour?
01:57:33.000 Literally every single tour.
01:57:37.000 Every single tour since 2007.
01:57:41.000 Absolutely.
01:57:42.000 Not around here though.
01:57:44.000 When we were at TPUSA, they've got music blasting.
01:57:49.000 And everyone's trying to talk to me, and I'm just like, I can't talk, because I would have to yell, and I'm going on stage later on to do a show.
01:57:56.000 And so, then I shut up, and then they just keep talking at me, and asking me questions, and I'm just nodding, and I'm like, just not saying things.
01:58:01.000 I'm like, guys.
01:58:03.000 Like, maybe if the music was all the way low, and I could talk in a normal voice, but I'm not gonna yell, because seriously, talking to someone backstage with music blasting super loud for one hour, and then I'm talking like this.
01:58:15.000 Not interested.
01:58:15.000 Yeah.
01:58:16.000 Yep.
01:58:18.000 That could be a great excuse, by the way.
01:58:19.000 You know, you encounter some little progressive, and you're like, hey, I just can't.
01:58:24.000 No, maybe that's what they want anyway.
01:58:27.000 Brandon Hawkins says, Tim, next time you make a pot of coffee, put a pinch of salt in the grounds.
01:58:31.000 You can thank me later.
01:58:32.000 I'll give it a try.
01:58:33.000 My aunt told me that.
01:58:35.000 But I would always put too much, and it would taste salty.
01:58:37.000 But when she did it, it was really good.
01:58:39.000 It made it very smooth.
01:58:40.000 Really?
01:58:40.000 If it's bitter coffee, like at a gas station, you need to put a little bit of salt in there.
01:58:40.000 Yeah.
01:58:43.000 That always makes it not as bitter.
01:58:45.000 It's usually if it's overcooked or overheated.
01:58:47.000 It really has to be like a tiny bit though.
01:58:48.000 I tried to get the portions as small as possible and after ruining like two pots, I was like, I'm not.
01:58:52.000 I'm hanging out at the casino and the lady walks by and she's like, drinks.
01:58:55.000 And I'm like, I will have a coffee with 10 cream and no sugar.
01:58:57.000 That's the way you gotta do it, man.
01:58:59.000 And you got dirty looks too.
01:59:01.000 Yeah, and one guy was like, man, this guy wants a splash of coffee in his cream.
01:59:04.000 And I said, look, if they had a heavy whipping cream, I'd ask for coffee with heavy cream.
01:59:10.000 But, you know, they don't.
01:59:11.000 Personally, as a cream purist, I think that half-and-half is an affront.
01:59:18.000 It's offensive.
01:59:19.000 Okay?
01:59:20.000 You want coffee with cream, you get cream.
01:59:22.000 I was in London, and I was having breakfast at a hotel, and I said, uh, I'll have coffee with cream, and they went, um, we'll see what we can do.
01:59:29.000 And I was like, okay.
01:59:30.000 Did they bring you clotted cream?
01:59:32.000 No, they brought heavy whipping cream.
01:59:33.000 Oh, nice.
01:59:33.000 Okay.
01:59:34.000 And, uh, because they don't have half-and-half.
01:59:35.000 No.
01:59:36.000 They use milk.
01:59:37.000 And I was just like, but milk is not fatty.
01:59:37.000 Yeah.
01:59:41.000 Like, when you want half and half, it's because you want to add fat to your coffee.
01:59:44.000 Exactly.
01:59:44.000 I just say, look, if you're going to do like two creams, just do one heavy cream.
01:59:49.000 Like, it's absurd that you're adding half and half when you can just do a little bit of heavy cream.
01:59:55.000 Use real cream.
01:59:57.000 You know, what's going on, man?
01:59:58.000 Endorsed.
01:59:59.000 Endorsed.
02:00:00.000 It's very, very delicious.
02:00:01.000 It is very delicious.
02:00:01.000 Yes.
02:00:03.000 And, uh, let's go.
02:00:05.000 Zach Bolden says, the live show isn't showing up on YouTube.
02:00:07.000 I had to search for it.
02:00:08.000 That's how it's been since Christmas.
02:00:10.000 Yeah, we know.
02:00:10.000 They suppress us.
02:00:11.000 And it's only because fans actively seek the show out that we resist their efforts.
02:00:17.000 It is what it is.
02:00:18.000 But tomorrow's Town Hall will be live on YouTube.
02:00:21.000 And Monday's show, with a live audience, will also be live on YouTube.
02:00:25.000 So you don't want to miss it.
02:00:27.000 We're having the Town Hall with Vivek.
02:00:28.000 It's going to be a podcast-Town Hall hybrid.
02:00:31.000 We're going to discuss with our team exactly how we can run it.
02:00:31.000 We'll figure that out.
02:00:35.000 So it'll be a very, like, open conversation talking about a bunch of ideas.
02:00:39.000 Vivek will have a majority of the floor.
02:00:41.000 But it's still going to be podcast hybrid style.
02:00:43.000 So it's not going to be, you know, like an interviewer saying, tell me about this and then letting him talk.
02:00:48.000 It'll be a bit of a back and forth and we'll try and bring in the audience as much as we can.
02:00:51.000 And then the 15th is Caucus Day.
02:00:53.000 And the caucus begins right on the time we normally go live, 8 p.m., and then we will be live to track the caucus and talk news, and we'll have a rotating panel of guests.
02:01:03.000 It'll be a lot of fun.
02:01:04.000 We're going to have Don Jr.
02:01:06.000 is scheduled to be joining us this week, so he can discuss, obviously, his father's campaign, and we're big fans of Trump.
02:01:13.000 I know Phil said he's going to be voting for Vivek.
02:01:15.000 We'll see.
02:01:16.000 I'm, of course, leaning towards Trump.
02:01:18.000 But we'll see how it plays out.
02:01:19.000 There's a lot to be said for what's gonna happen.

02:03:39.000 And I am Serge.com.
02:03:42.000 It is not a website.
02:03:43.000 That is my moniker.
02:03:44.000 It is spelled D-O-T-C-O-M.
02:03:45.000 This is a great show.
02:03:46.000 Thank you very much for coming.
02:03:47.000 I appreciate it.
02:03:49.000 And I am a Utah man I am.
02:03:51.000 Again, one more time.
02:03:53.000 We have a new cat that we caught and we decided to name it Seamus.
02:03:58.000 And the funniest thing ever is that for the first time Seamus is back in town to meet the cat and he's in the kitchen and little Seamus walks up and Seamus goes, Hey Seamus, I am not calling him that Yeah, the first time I called him that, it felt weird.
02:04:10.000 And it's really difficult to have a cat named after you running around.
02:04:13.000 It's like, look, when you guys named a chicken after Luke, I was like, that makes sense, right?
02:04:18.000 And then they named this cat after me, and I'm like, well, you know... We have a rooster!
02:04:22.000 It is what it is, and it's all... But the problem is, it actually causes trouble, because when people say, like, oh, like, Seamus is crapping in the corner, people think it's the cat.
02:04:31.000 Haha!
02:04:32.000 Alright, everybody, we'll see you all over at TimCast.com.
