On today's show, David Pakman and Alex Blumberg discuss a new report that suggests Bill Clinton tried to cover up what Epstein had been doing. Plus, bomb threats against the offices of the U.S. Congress, and why Biden's volunteers are quitting the campaign.
00:00:10.000This is the second trove, and oh boy, we got some juicy stuff in here.
00:00:14.000A bunch of A-list celebrities were named, but of course it doesn't mean that anything wrong, it just means that Epstein liked to walk around claiming he was friends with a lot of celebrities, but you know, maybe we should take a look at who these people are, because it's been known for a long time what Epstein was doing, but the big story Is that according to one of the emails in the documents, Bill Clinton went to Vanity Fair and demanded they not report on what Epstein was doing with his trafficking, if you know what I mean.
00:00:41.000And so this appears to be an accusation, a report, a claim, be very careful here, that Bill Clinton was trying to cover up what Epstein had been doing.
00:01:20.000This is gonna get real crazy, and I'm hoping it gets crazy in the sense that it becomes so overwhelmingly positive towards Trump that there's not even a question of political conflict at all, and everyone's like, yeah, Trump wins.
00:01:34.000My friends, before we get started, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member to help support our work, and as a member, you see that banner right there?
00:01:44.000TimCast at the Iowa Caucus, January 15th.
00:02:12.000The Iowa Caucus IRL show is going to be longer.
00:02:15.000It's going to be an extended show where you're hanging out, and we are absolutely going to be taking questions from people in the audience.
00:02:21.000So this is more like directly engage and interact with the show.
00:02:25.000We have a multitude of guests that are going to be joining us, not just Vivek.
00:02:28.000It's a caucus, so everyone's going to be there.
00:02:30.000We've got an... I don't even know who we're going to have.
00:02:33.000But a lot of really great people, of course, Seamus and Luke will be joining us, and it's gonna be a lot of fun.
00:02:38.000As a member, you can then also get access to the tickets, but you'll also get access to our uncensored members-only show, which is coming up tonight.
00:02:44.000And I will address, for those last night that are wondering what happened to the show, it is not just YouTube's rules, but there are rules that every single social media platform, even X, has, that if the rules are broken, the show is gone.
00:03:02.000We talked about exactly what happened when we moved to the Uncensored Show, and whenever a show gets taken down here on YouTube or any other platform for that reason, we will move to the Uncensored Members Only on TimCast.com to explain what's going on.
00:03:14.000And the reason we do that is because that is quite literally where you can say almost anything you want unless you're breaking the law.
00:03:20.000We don't, we can't, no one allows that.
00:04:29.000Covering, you know, the Tea Party movement, covering the Trump campaign, covering Trump's presidency, covering 2020, and then everything went downhill from there.
00:05:22.000So I saw somebody talking about, like, when New Year's came, and they mentioned, they're like, wow, I hope we have a really, really uneventful 2024.
00:05:27.000I said, in an election year, yeah, yeah, let's, let's, nah, it's not gonna happen.
00:05:49.000Y'all go subscribe to Pop Culture Crisis because the show format is very similar, except when you super chat on Pop Culture Crisis, money guns fire $20 bills into the air, and it's really funny when it lands in the guest's drink or hits them in the face.
00:06:01.000But as you can see, Pop Culture Crisis talks about pop culture issues.
00:06:08.000We're going to be talking about celebrities and Epstein's Island tonight, and all of these things.
00:06:14.000You talked about Star Wars the other day.
00:06:16.000These topics, Disney, all of these things, are very, very relevant to the culture.
00:06:20.000We get into it a lot about whether these things actually matter, because a lot of conservatives are under this opinion that pop culture doesn't matter.
00:06:27.000Well, your kids are getting information from somewhere, and they're pushing these ideologies on the next generation somewhere, and you have to be Aware of what's actually going on if you want to fight back against this.
00:07:22.000From the daily beast of all sources, Bill Clinton pressured Vanity Fair not to write about Epstein, new docs claim.
00:07:30.000An email from the newly unsealed court documents reports, quote, B. Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write about Epstein's sex trafficking.
00:07:52.000And then it goes, uh, goes down to say, uh, let me find this point.
00:07:55.000It must be carefully written, and not give any notions about the upcoming book for any new info.
00:07:59.000When I was doing some research into Vanity Fair yesterday, it does concern me that they could want to write about me, considering that B. Clinton walked into Vanity Fair and threatened them not to write about sex trafficking articles, and his good friend Jeffrey Epstein, should I be asking, what is this story they're writing pertaining to?
00:08:24.000It says, I would let Vanity Fair buy your picture via Brad.
00:08:28.000The big gamble would be to let him also give the statement saying your interviews with us were accurately reported and you have no more to say this time about how you were trafficked to PA and other men, including two of the world's most respected politicians, redacted and redacted, as well as women, Who do you think it was?
00:09:50.000There actually is a fairly easy and obvious reason that would... something that would supersede a civil claim.
00:09:56.000So you have these documents, journalists file a lawsuit saying, freedom of information, release the names, the court says yes, and Redex one name. Why? National security. What could
00:10:08.000supersede a lawsuit on freedom of information that would result in the documents being released keeping
00:10:14.000one of those names covered up? National security reasons. And that person's still in office. Bill
00:10:22.000If that comes out, we know Clinton's named in these documents, but he's not named as actually having done anything related to trafficking, just having been flying on the plane and been around these people, and Jeffrey Epstein said Clinton likes them young, and now we're learning from the latest document dump that Clinton allegedly went to Vanity Fair and tried to cover up the Epstein story.
00:10:51.000I mean none of this is surprising at all who remembers when Amy Roback got caught on the hot mic talking about how she had the story about Epstein and that her producer killed it said she couldn't wasn't allowed to do it.
00:11:56.000We don't like the same size as Prince Andrew that name.
00:11:58.000But, right, so you look at the commas of where it's placed in the document because the spacing of the text is not altered.
00:12:04.000And then what you can do is you can go from comma to comma and you can actually determine how many characters exist in this person's name.
00:12:12.000You don't know, it could be three in their first name and seven in their last name, or seven in their first name, three in their last name, who knows?
00:12:18.000But it looks like it's about the length of, probably, not Jean-Luc Brunel, that's too long.
00:13:34.000The redacted name was next to former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, Prince Andrew, model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, and computer scientist Marvin Minsky.
00:13:45.000I think it's a national security thing.
00:13:47.000Prince Andrew is not a national security issue for the United States.
00:13:50.000I'm willing to bet it could be someone who's currently still in office.
00:13:53.000But then you're saying, like, Oh, it's national security, that means it has to be somebody current because Bill Clinton is over there, like it's out there.
00:14:03.000Like, Clinton, former president, still have Secret Service, and so they could argue that, like, information retained by the president... I mean, they'd say this, like, if a former president was directly implicated in these documents, the national security implications for this country would be nuts.
00:14:19.000Treaties could be at risk, border disputes could ignite, anything Bill Clinton had done could start to unravel, it could cause problems in the stock market, so absolutely You could say Jimmy Carter, for all we know, and they're going to be like, no way.
00:14:31.000But I don't think it says Bill Clinton.
00:14:33.000I think the redaction bar is too long.
00:14:50.000It's even worse if the fact that they're a serving president gets to keep them off the list and then using national security as a crappy excuse.
00:14:59.000I in this day and age and oh, you're right.
00:15:48.000I think Barack Obama's into other things.
00:15:50.000I don't think this is kind of his jam is...
00:15:53.000And this is, I mean, I can't flesh this theory out totally right now, I'd have to do some research, but Prince Andrew, Bill Richardson, they're actually closer in age.
00:16:01.000From what I understand, Barack Obama is slightly younger than them.
00:16:04.000So there is sort of a similar age group of people.
00:16:07.000That means they were running in similar circles.
00:16:10.000Barack, in some ways, was sort of outside that.
00:16:12.000And I think he has different proclivities.
00:16:15.000I can't speculate on his proclivities, partially because my mind... I'm half-joking, actually, and I'm sure the chat is just igniting over what that means about Barack Obama's proclivities.
00:16:22.000You just got my mind thinking, like, who... The guy at the bar.
00:16:26.000I'm just thinking about national security, and I'm just trying to think, who worked in Obama's administration that is now working in tons of them?
00:16:33.000The thing is, Biden's administration is heavily staffed by former Obama.
00:17:13.000It says, other than Glen Dubin redacted, Prince Andrew, John Luke Brunell, Bill Richardson, another prince, the large hotel chain owner, and Marvin Minsky, is there anyone else What do you mean another prince?
00:19:02.000I was like, can we just play Tetris now?
00:19:06.000Now people will have to start looking at politicians and getting character limits on all of their names so they can start putting them in there to see who it ends up being.
00:19:15.000I think it's important to point out, however, the name has 15 characters because there's a space between the first and last name.
00:19:23.000There's one source reporting, or one publication, The Messenger's reporting that one of the victims said she had sex with Hyatt Hotels billionaire Tom Pritzker.
00:20:08.000So, it's 16 total characters, but we assume there's a space there, because I doubt whoever they're naming goes like a single name, because usually single names are small, like Bono.
00:20:18.000But, uh, we've got, so, so, someone who's got a name with 15 characters, and I know between the 45,000 people, someone can figure it out.
00:21:10.000The documents get released and now people are speculating as to the criminal elements that may be involved in this.
00:21:17.000My first speculation is, I would say this, in starting the investigation, the assumption I would make is something related to national security allowing the name to remain redacted.
00:21:28.000So we're thinking law enforcement, politics, you know, like law enforcement intelligence agencies.
00:21:37.000It could be, however, also related to those who requested an extension on having their name remain redacted.
00:21:47.000The people who said that, uh, there's Jane Doe 107 saying, don't release my name because I live in a conservative country and it'll be bad news for me.
00:21:56.000These are accusations of child trafficking.
00:23:04.000So, I mean, theoretically, that would be military then, right?
00:23:06.000There are a couple of different military, like, secret, or heads of military organizations that have been carried over through several administrations.
00:23:13.000But no, I was just thinking about it, like, think of, like, the guys who worked in the CIA, worked in the heads of the CIA, FBI, to be, like, national security.
00:23:22.000Let's jump to the next portion of this story.
00:23:33.000Just a little bit, because it is factually true and it's relatively vague.
00:23:37.000But I gotta be honest, I don't know how you would actually title this story while trying to provide the context that they're not potentially wrongdoers.
00:23:46.000TMZ just listed names and then just said no wrongdoing.
00:23:51.000It just listed in the headline that there was no wrongdoing found.
00:23:55.000No, they put it right in the headline, right in the main headline on the website.
00:24:01.000It listed it almost like a lot of people say, depending on what your opinion in the media is like, oh, they're just covering up for them because my favorite thing to always point out is like whenever they talk about Epstein, like there's like several documentaries on Epstein, they're all on like Hulu and all these things.
00:24:14.000And they all have pictures of him and Trump on there because the media hates Trump and they want to tar him TMZ is like, these people are bread and butter.
00:24:33.000On the other hand, it was annoying scrolling through this article because they'd be like, ah, yes, somebody asked if you would ever met George Lucas from Star Wars.
00:25:04.000But I'm just saying like, I mean, that obviously would be part of it.
00:25:08.000Well known like Wall Street executives.
00:25:10.000That's what I would I would say these documents don't get anywhere near the majority of the clients that we want to see exposed.
00:25:16.000Because this was part of a defamation lawsuit.
00:25:19.000A lot of these documents that are being released are related to the original investigation into Epstein that were used as evidence in the defamation trial.
00:25:37.000Yeah, that's I remember like Palm Beach did like this thorough investigation and then that's what only it didn't lead to any state or federal charges only led to that civil that's almost like there's so many missing pieces to everything going on in this.
00:25:50.000I love how, okay, so let's go through the list.
00:25:51.000They say, Naomi Campbell is named, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Bruce Willis, and Cameron Diaz.
00:25:56.000George Lucas, Michael Jackson, Kevin Spacey.
00:26:09.000I'm just mad he ruined House of Cards, it was so good, and then the last season just sucked.
00:26:13.000Technically, he didn't ruin the show, his bad life choices are what ruined the show.
00:26:22.000He's gotta win an award for when he was accused of all this wrongdoing.
00:26:26.000He should win an award for his response, where they're just like, Kevin Spacey, you've been accused of rape on several instances, and he goes, I'm gay.
00:26:36.000But also he doesn't, he's not interested in the flavors that Epstein seems to be offering, right?
00:26:43.000So I don't know that this is actually, he is not a good person necessarily, but I don't know that he's actually someone we'd expect to see on the list at all.
00:26:52.000There are a lot of people who are accusing him that have mysteriously died in the last several years.
00:26:57.000Four or five have passed away before, you know, being able to take him to court.
00:27:01.000But he was acquitted, what, now twice in the UK and more?
00:27:05.000But that video with Tucker Carlson, I was like, we were watching, we were like, who is this fool?
00:27:09.000Like, I legitimately can't figure out who it's for.
00:27:26.000And he makes these great allusions to House of Cards in the show when he talks about, you know, pushing journalists in a certain direction, which is a very clear push to the end of season one.
00:28:30.000It's not that, it's that what Roger said was completely reasonable.
00:28:34.000This guy worked with, what was the guy, Chef Perry Lang or whatever the guy's name was?
00:28:37.000He was Epstein's personal chef and my understanding is there was a report that said that they were co-owners of a restaurant or that Jimmy Kimmel was in some way involved.
00:28:45.000There's videos of them, they're friends.
00:28:46.000So if Jimmy Kimmel appeared in this document, I would not be surprised.
00:28:50.000All these celebrities that are being named, 99% of them, there's no accusation of wrongdoing, they just ask them, did you ever see Bruce Willis there?
00:29:00.000When anyone who's named, I'm sure, does not actually want their name to come up in this, even if it's completely innocuous, it would be nicer to not be involved at all.
00:29:09.000He was like, if you keep mentioning my name, I'm going to sue.
00:29:11.000It was just like, why are you getting so chumpy about this?
00:29:15.000The thing is, though, is we're pointing out the fact that when you read these documents, a lot of these people aren't accused of wrongdoing.
00:29:21.000Just putting your name and Epstein's name next to each other now is enough to tarnish you.
00:29:26.000So it doesn't matter if they're not being accused of wrongdoing just by being associated with it.
00:29:30.000But the media's going to cover you up because they have trouble.
00:29:33.000So you feel like Kimmel's fear was somewhat reasonable?
00:29:37.000I think if you're not doing anything wrong and your name comes up in something like this, then it's probably a pretty reasonable response to be like, I don't want to be attached to this at all.
00:29:47.000It's not like you can sue the documents for a lot, like there's kind of nothing you can do about it.
00:29:53.000You feel like there's a lot of ghoulishness to all of this.
00:29:57.000People were talking about how all of these names coming out has been like album drops.
00:30:02.000It's been made light of so much that it's kind of hard to... You have to read what's actually happening here to reacquaint yourself with just how horrific so much of this stuff is.
00:30:13.000And if we were to get a client list, in some ways, would people be like, but we already kind of got this weird list that sort of meant nothing, is in some ways this weird drip of information actually making people less interested in what was going on, the fact that there were people, you know, who potentially were promoting human trafficking and using their wealth and status to get terrible things.
00:30:34.000So we were talking just a moment ago about there's this, you know, this list of names, and one of them's redacted.
00:30:41.000We think it's probably a name with 15 characters, including a space, giving a total of 16 characters, and somehow this name got redacted.
00:30:48.000I'm loving all of these, all the speculation.
00:30:51.000Some people are saying, like, Harvey Weinstein fits, sure, but of all the names to be redacted, his would be the last.
00:30:56.000Because he's locked up, or I don't know, is he still in jail?
00:31:00.000But someone just super chatted, Stephen Colbert, and I'm just like, okay, well I really do appreciate the hatred we have for the corporate press.
00:31:08.000I don't think Stephen Colbert has the national security level keep that redaction. It's a lot of clout for Stephen Colbert.
00:31:17.000A lot of clout for Stephen Colbert, considering like billionaires and millionaires and even
00:31:20.000Prince Andrew couldn't keep their names out of it. That's why I'm assuming national security. But
00:31:25.000good guesses. But it's all highly speculative. I mean, we got no idea. And I think really the
00:31:30.000best way to do it would be if you had, you know, somehow compiled a list of people who have been
00:31:38.000And then you go through and you count the characters.
00:31:40.000Because otherwise, like, I could just shout out names for the rest of forever and probably wouldn't necessarily... It has to come from a list of people that were already known or rumored to have ties to Epstein.
00:31:50.000And I don't know necessarily that Stephen Colbert was.
00:32:34.000The side that's doing that to him is the side that's on the list, so they're going to prevent anything from changing because they're not the ones that they're... People are... Now, if Trump's name was on the list, then yeah, sure.
00:33:16.000Look, there's that clip going viral right now where Donald Trump was asked about Bill Clinton and he goes, nice guy, but he's got a lot of stuff coming up with that Epstein, you know, and everyone's like, what did Trump know about this?
00:33:27.000So what happens if Donald Trump, look, Donald Trump says, I am your retribution.
00:33:37.000And the first thing he does is he says, I want to know everybody who works with Epstein and we're going to lock them all up.
00:33:42.000Well, he has to get the FBI guys to do it.
00:33:44.000Well, I think part of it is that would be one of the only ways to restore public trust.
00:33:49.000I think that if an average American... I mean, with everything that happened with Hunter Biden this year and his plea deals and this very obvious two-tier justice system, I think if Trump were elected, actually seeing someone who is on Epstein's list, a known associate who partook in all of this stuff, being sent to prison is actually the only way to get the American people to think maybe there is a reason to trust We have a good answer.
00:34:59.000Talking about the hunt of Biden, did you see the reports from the Democrats from the Democrat oversight?
00:35:03.000They released a report talking about like Donald Trump obtained like $7.8 million from foreign governments because they all stood in his hotels when he was president.
00:35:12.000So they're trying to say that was a form of collusion that what the Republicans are doing and attacking Hunter Biden, Donald Trump did as president.
00:35:20.000And nobody's really talking about it except for if you watch it on MSNBC, but they're trying to really make this as now the biggest deal ever.
00:35:30.000But because of everything with Epstein, everybody was really into this, I wouldn't be surprised if they're going to try to turn the tables and use that report against Trump as another way.
00:35:40.000They're trying to throw everything to make it stick at him.
00:35:43.000And they were already doing that when he was in office.
00:35:45.000They tried to argue repeatedly that he was making money off of it.
00:35:52.000Someone said, ask Grok, this is Joshua Park, ask Grok for powerful people with 15 letter names.
00:35:58.000So I went to Grok and I said, give me a list of politicians who have 15 characters between their first and last name.
00:36:04.000Ladies and gentlemen, this list is damning.
00:36:31.000It's becoming a foreign concept nowadays.
00:36:33.000I mean, I think part of, like, first off, I feel like this is the new version of Wordle, and I'm really expecting it to, like, vibrate and be like, you got some of the letters right, just rearrange them.
00:36:41.000If one of these, if, like, they should do a crossword puzzle in the New York Times and actually include this in there.
00:36:47.000Who is the... I'm sure Bill Clinton said don't.
00:36:55.000Wasn't there a case where, like, he wanted delegates to stay at Mar-a-Lago and host an event there and they made him not do it, Trump, during it when he was in office?
00:37:06.000I mean, there was also a report I saw a long time ago that Joe Biden had personally hosted, like, diplomats in his home in Delaware, but then I had a really hard time tracking that down.
00:37:15.000I think that there are probably reasons people ask for things like that, but, you know, it's very easy to be like, no, Mr. President, that is a violation of government.
00:37:22.000And he's like, okay, they can't see my golf course.
00:37:24.000I mean, like, there were all kinds of things, like, there was a reason that Trump put his sons in charge of the business and left off, you know what I mean?
00:37:32.000I think you did as much as you could to mitigate potentially having conflict in that case.
00:37:36.000The thing about Hunter Biden is that the more that comes out about his case, the more obvious it is through his emails and everything.
00:37:42.000That he was specifically saying, I am the son of an influential American politician and... Give me my money!
00:37:53.000And there's no evidence that anyone in the Trump organization has done that.
00:37:57.000Yeah, but that's what they're trying to do.
00:37:58.000They're trying to say like, He didn't recuse himself, which he actually did.
00:38:02.000I remember that press conference right before, during his, um, the transition.
00:38:06.000And they're trying to say, like, he didn't recuse himself.
00:38:08.000His name was still under the Trump organization.
00:38:10.000I mean, his name was still literally Trump.
00:38:13.000And to a certain extent, yes, of course, that name gained even more prominence than it already had.
00:38:18.000But on the other hand, you know, as far as I know, and I'm not an expert on his business dealings, it's not like he was like, I am President Trump.
00:38:26.000Now, Eric, go tell everyone in Ireland that I'll open a golf course there because I'm the president.
00:38:41.000But, you know, I obviously think it's important to hold politicians, their families accountable.
00:38:46.000I mean, this is what's interesting about all of the legislation that's getting pushed in Congress right now, saying We should be really wary of the stock trades being made by politicians.
00:39:06.000So then I said, give me a list of politicians alive today, and it gave me a list of random politicians, and I said, none of those, I wrote, none of those people have 15 letters in their names, and it goes, oh, I'm sorry, that list didn't actually adhere to what you had asked.
00:39:18.000And then it went, I said, so make a list with 15 letters, and let me see if I can pull back up.
00:39:56.000A group of staffers working on President Joe Biden's re-election campaign warned the President that his volunteers are quitting in droves over his handling of Israel's military response on the Gaza Strip.
00:40:05.000Biden has faced immense pressure from members of his own party over U.S.
00:40:08.000policies in light of the surprise Hamas attack on October 7th.
00:40:12.000We have a lot of people come on the show who are Jewish.
00:40:15.000That may be surprising for many people who watch to know.
00:40:18.000Well, other people think it's too many people who are Jewish.
00:40:39.000However, We talk to a lot of these people, and it's really fascinating to hear what they'll say behind the scenes about their family members.
00:40:47.000They'll say on the show, a lot of progressive Jewish individuals are waking up to what the left is and what Democrats are doing because of the attack on Israel.
00:40:55.000Behind the scenes, they'll say the same thing, but be a bit more specific, because they don't want to put their families at risk.
00:40:59.000And they'll say, like, I got an aunt, and she's liberal, and she came freaking out, like, what's going on?
00:41:05.000I'm just imagining all of the Hanukkah dinners Where you had these liberal Jewish people meeting with their conservative relatives and the conservatives were like, we told you this was going on and you didn't believe us and now they do.
00:41:17.000And now you take a look what's going on with Joe Biden's campaign.
00:41:27.000I mean, they might be paid, but they're saying volunteers, which is probably people who are volunteering in their early 20s, mid 20s, maybe up until early 30s.
00:41:37.000And that group of progressive liberal people And so it's interesting because it's actually a huge age divide.
00:41:49.000That's what I think the Democratic Party is starting to realize, that the older members, basically the boomer Democrats, have a very different position on this international issue than their younger cohorts.
00:41:59.000So instead of it being like, yes, come take this position, volunteer.
00:42:04.000A third batch may have just dropped right now, within the past few minutes.
00:42:08.000That's why you see such an outsized influence of that discussion on social media now.
00:42:13.000When you look at comment sections on Instagram, it's all Free Palestine.
00:42:18.000This is what we've heard reported over and over again that the mainstream media might be presenting a more pro-Israel presentation, but TikTok was predominantly pro-Palestine.
00:42:28.000Those Gen Zers do love Osama bin Laden.
00:42:31.000But it was actually the media that blew that up, that story.
00:42:36.000Cause like, it was only like a few people who had, it was like, TikTok was like only like few million and then the media talked about it and next thing you know, it blew up to like billions of views.
00:42:45.000Yeah, I mean a few million is still a lot to me.
00:44:03.000It's not that I like conflict, it's that I like this party having to reckon with itself, that it is saying one thing.
00:44:08.000Like, it bothers me a lot that people are always like, the Republican Party is about to fall apart and it's crazy.
00:44:14.000And in my position, you know, I think conservative movements have lots of different parts that occasionally make, basically, become allies at times on certain issues.
00:44:21.000Whereas Democrats tend to be very lockstep, you believe these things.
00:44:25.000But they no longer realize that they are the party that is preaching things that The older leadership doesn't believe in.
00:44:32.000It's interesting to see them fall apart in front of our eyes.
00:44:34.000Well, we saw that starting with when AOC got elected and when a lot of these younger progressives got elected, right, that there was great divides.
00:44:41.000But she kind of ended up being more of a... she fell along party lines on a lot of issues eventually.
00:44:46.000The fact that she voted for the Ukrainian aid, you're supposed to be a progressive.
00:44:49.000At least Thomas Massey didn't even vote for that.
00:44:54.000But Massey's really interesting because he's ultimately principled.
00:44:57.000He has certain things that he believes in and he will not back down on them.
00:45:00.000But that's when I think you lost the progressives right there.
00:45:02.000The minute they said yes to this, and they said that we're never gonna fund any war, no matter how strong their allies are, or how fake our allies are with them, we're not supposed to be funding this.
00:45:55.000The first is, you know, we are winning by a lot.
00:45:59.000With the purchase of X, the boycott of these big companies, the organizational power of the anti-establishment and the pro-constitutional republic faction is tremendous, and seeing more and more victories every single day.
00:46:13.000And then you see that Joe Biden's volunteers are quitting over an ideological split.
00:46:16.000The Democrats are fractured, they're falling apart.
00:46:19.000We've already gone through years of the viral story, Democrat quits party.
00:46:23.000How many times did we see a story like that?
00:46:25.000Remember when they were calling into CNN being like, I'm quitting!
00:46:36.000And so, in the past few years, you had that viral story where they were calling in a C-SPAN and complaining about what Joe Biden had been doing.
00:46:47.000Now we've got, you know, every couple of months, a Democrat quits and switches to the Republican Party.
00:46:52.000Now Joe Biden can't even keep volunteers on because they're far-left extremists.
00:46:57.000It's kind of fascinating if you think about it because a lot of this is fueled by foreign interference using social media manipulation, and I love how the left claimed that for so long over Trump, but the reality is it's targeting them.
00:47:10.000You get these apps that are advocating for Hamas, and then these young people become pro-Hamas, and then all of a sudden they quit Joe Biden's campaign, creating a direct Like, probability of Americans uniting around actual American values.
00:47:25.000So if all of these young people are being subverted into supporting things like Hamas, but it's not the majority, all that will happen is these people have no political power, America will prevail, the Constitutional Republic will prevail, Donald Trump will get elected.
00:47:38.000But are they really, like, going back?
00:47:57.000Because they, in New York, were marching around, chanting for Hamas and calling them heroes.
00:48:02.000Oh, well, okay, I get what your point, but when they had rallies in New York, rallies, you talk about people who are when they had rallies in New York, and, and, you know, several hundred people show up, the speakers at these event would get up and say, the freedom fighters fired 5000 rockets landing in Tel Aviv, and they all clap and cheer and scream.
00:48:20.000So those are pro Hamas protesters in New York City.
00:48:23.000Sure, if you want to argue that there is an individual on social media who doesn't like Hamas and they're pro-Palestine, I know many of them.
00:48:38.000And the idea is that it will uniquely leech votes from the Democrats, assuming that they don't end up just falling in line when the next election comes.
00:48:55.000The hope would be that they're so ideologically inclined that for once, they won't just end up voting on party lines because they actually have a problem with the... They actually do support Hamas.
00:49:05.000But did you see the recent USA Today poll?
00:49:07.000They said young voters, younger than me, younger than 35, Trump leads by like about 2 or 3 points.
00:49:16.000I always thought that like, you know, between 20 and 30s, you're gonna vote blue because you're like so lost until you start paying taxes and you're like, holy crap, I gotta vote Republican because I cannot anymore, like the Democratic Party.
00:49:29.000So you're wondering like, these Gen Zs, like a lot of them are crazy, but a lot of them are actually waking up.
00:49:36.000I think that you'll have, there'll be an extreme generation where some people sit very far at one end of the political and ideological spectrum and some people end up sitting, unfortunately, extremely far on the other side.
00:49:46.000And so I think that it's sort of like when you talk about the economy and you have the disappearing middle class, I think there is the disappearing moderate class of Gen Zs.
00:49:55.000And, you know, the question would be, Are they able to reconcile or do they ultimately meet on the other end of the political horseshoe?
00:50:02.000And there are norms that we would view as extreme.
00:50:05.000The things that they agree on are out of the box.
00:50:18.000But also, be very careful because what happens a lot of time is if they start projecting that Trump is super far ahead, then people get complacent and they think, I don't have to go out and vote, so I'm not going to.
00:50:29.000So don't lose, depending on what your thoughts on voting are, if you're really, really pro-Trump, whatever it is, don't allow that to make you complacent because I do think a lot of times they end up doing that.
00:50:39.000I mean, theoretically, it would, I mean, I wish, I don't think this is the case, it would fuel a sort of down ticket sprint where people are saying, well, I know exactly who I want to vote for, even if he's ahead, who else do I care about?
00:50:50.000Who do I care about on the state level?
00:50:51.000Who do I care about representing me in the Senate and Congress?
00:50:56.000Because we feel like you've locked up one office, that shouldn't be enough.
00:50:59.000I don't think this is actually how voters operate.
00:51:02.000This is my idealistic worldview that if you feel like, well, I definitely know who's going to be president, you want to send them into their term with strong support, both in Congress and in the states.
00:51:14.000But going back what you said, like you said, be careful.
00:51:18.000Maybe they're using to say they want to vote for Trump so they could get rid of Biden and put somebody like Gavin Newsom, a younger Democrat.
00:51:27.000That's why I say I always think of these polls as quiz.
00:51:30.000And then when you start going into all these votings, I think of it like all the delegates are like the midterms, like the midterm, like when you take a test in college.
00:51:40.000And then so the general election, that's your final.
00:53:26.000But you see, look at the debate stage.
00:53:27.000They're both, like, the stances, between the stances and Haley, they're both groveling between trying to get, like, the Israeli and AIPAC, you know, endorsements.
00:53:35.000They're more worried about that than they're worried about the American people.
00:53:37.000But that's because they're so far behind in the polls.
00:53:39.000I mean, it almost doesn't matter what they're trying to do because ultimately The popular vote indicates that they support Trump and Trump is taking a position that is attempting to be moderate which also Joe Biden has attempted to be moderate on the issue and it's failed because people don't trust him.
00:53:54.000But I'm saying but like going if the first time ever this poll has ever with Arab American community and Trump is leading and remember they try to push the whole Muslim ban and they try to like everything with Trump.
00:54:08.000The whole like they were trying to like the like if you look going back to Michigan, that's a heavily populated area of Arabs and Trump is leading.
00:54:53.000So, but the fact that the Republican Party is taking it for granted, and they're only picking one side, and they're groveling, and then you say, like, yeah, well, they're behind the polls.
00:55:14.000or Dick Cheney with three enchiladas and lipstick.
00:55:17.000So it just reminds me like the Republican Party and even like the RNC like they have no Fs given about the minority and the people the colored people who are choosing to be Republicans because they only want to pick the side that they're used to the whole establishment.
00:55:33.000We have to be careful with this like the polls are telling but Republicans they're very known for fucking shit up.
00:55:42.000I always say that, like... I mean, this is again why I think it's interesting that there are so many Republicans right now who, you know, theoretically they could be divided.
00:55:49.000They could say, I support this side of that war, I support this side of the war.
00:55:52.000But there are a fair number of them who are like, the thing is, our focus has to be domestic.
00:55:56.000Our focus has to be on what's going on.
00:56:15.000Whereas if you're a republican voter and you know maybe you feel real strongly about one side maybe feel strongly with the other.
00:56:20.000If you have a republican saying well Obviously, this is a big conflict, there's a lot going on there, but my priority is to secure our border and to secure our infrastructure.
00:56:27.000Yeah, but there's this, like, we need to fund Israel, we need to make sure they have problems.
00:56:30.000We need to eliminate them, like, this is war to combat, like, and then you have DeSantis insulting Arabs, which is, now you're, like, triggering me, and, like, you're losing people's respect.
00:56:40.000And, like, he shouldn't be talking, like, talking about, like, Arabs wearing man dresses.
00:56:44.000I wouldn't be talking when you're wearing three-inch heels, boy, and you're down in the polls by 55 points.
00:56:49.000And you're trying to, like, catch up with a girl who's like an Alibaba version of Hillary Clinton.
00:56:53.000But do you think, like, for minority voters that are joining the Republican Party or who are likely to support a Republican candidate this time, do you think they are looking for candidates who support a certain side of the war, or would an America First position appeal to it?
00:57:09.000That's the only reason why they want to come to this country.
00:57:11.000He also does need to bring up the Abraham Accords a lot, I think a good amount, because the people who are voting America first are going to be all in on your domestic policy if you're talking about closing the border and shoring up things there, right?
00:57:24.000But right now with international conflict being such a big part of the story, pushing them to see that there was a time not that long ago when we did have a more stable world view.
00:58:13.000In between two wars right now, the American people... For the first time in 35 years, as of January of 2023, Israel posts a budget surplus driven by higher tax revenue.
01:00:14.000We have unprecedented illegal immigration.
01:00:16.000And right now, the Biden administration is suing Texas, attempting to do everything in their power to stop the border states from putting an end to the invasion, the incursion of 10,000 plus people per day at the southern border.
01:00:29.000This is sedition against the United States.
01:00:31.000It is a direct violation of the Constitution.
01:00:34.000And I will say this, I've said it several times.
01:00:36.000The only reason it happens is because there are people in law enforcement who say to themselves, I know it's wrong, but I've got to feed my kids.
01:00:44.000That is the argument made by every corrupt individual who exemplifies evil.
01:00:50.000They cut a deal with the devil to save their families.
01:00:53.000And I totally understand why they would.
01:00:55.000Because they want to make sure their kids have full bellies.
01:00:57.000And they took the deal with the devil, figuratively or literally, however you want to see it, to sell out and destroy this country for themselves, for their short-term gains.
01:01:06.000The only thing is, those kids will inherit a pile of embers because of what they've done.
01:01:11.000Yeah, I mean, this is a really interesting argument because if you work for, you know, Customs, Border and Trail, if you're working at a federal level, theoretically, Texas is really trying to do the opposite, right?
01:01:22.000Texas is trying to enforce border laws.
01:01:24.000So you could maybe leave your job for a state-level position and still get to work in your chosen field and also have a governor who is willing to back you.
01:01:33.000There are ways that, especially with the border, that you don't have to be necessarily supporting the Biden administration who is trying to undermine all immigration laws that are on the books.
01:01:41.000I just gotta get a little biblical with it, and I'll say this again.
01:01:45.000If you are an atheist, by all means, you're allowed to be.
01:01:53.000If you are religious, take it literally.
01:01:54.000When we had the guys from Angel Studios talking about the film The Shift, Where the benefactor transports a guy to a reality without his family.
01:02:03.000And he says, I'll give you everything back.
01:02:05.000I'll give you everything you've ever dreamed of.
01:02:08.000And instead, the man begins to pray and refuses to serve what is figuratively the devil.
01:02:14.000And I believe they said it was effectively like the story of Job.
01:02:18.000You know, and I'm not, it's been a really long time since I studied these stories.
01:02:22.000But no matter how bad things got, he would never just give in and take the assistance of the devil.
01:02:28.000So this is what I see, figuratively, literally, however you want to cut it.
01:02:33.000There are federal law enforcement agents that are actively working against the local residents and law enforcement of Texas to stop them from protecting their homes.
01:02:44.000And these people are doing it, and I would say full well, they know what they're doing is evil, but they're saying to themselves, yeah, but if I leave this job, my kids won't have food.
01:02:57.000So, as you're in service of darkness and evil, and cutting that deal with the devil, you know, I certainly understand why you did it.
01:03:05.000Not like anyone's going to forgive you though.
01:03:08.000No, I mean, I think especially with the border crisis as bad as it is, I wonder if Democrats look themselves and say, I'm going to vote for Joe Biden, even though that's a vote to continue human trafficking across the border, right?
01:03:20.000It's a vote to continue drug trafficking.
01:03:27.000They'll say all the time, you know, human trafficking is bad and this is awful and whatever else, except when it's on their doorstep and they could theoretically do something about it.
01:03:35.000I mean, I can understand where if you've been told shutting the border makes you racist.
01:03:39.000Yeah, they don't think of it as human trafficking.
01:03:41.000But that's what they should think of it as.
01:03:42.000Those are the real world consequences.
01:03:44.000You know, a lot of Republicans talk about the drug trafficking across the border, which is obviously awful.
01:03:50.000The opioid crisis is You know, just a complete assault on our nation.
01:03:54.000On the other hand, if that argument won't do, if you don't care what happens to Americans, why don't you care what happens to young children and women who are trafficked across the border?
01:04:01.000Like, at what point do you recognize that you are advocating for a international violation of any kind of human decency?
01:04:11.000And instead, they're like, no, it's bad.
01:04:15.000This is my favorite topic, actually, to talk about with people who are left-leaning because it's like, A lot of people who would vote Democrat are bleeding hearts, right?
01:04:23.000They believe that they're trying to help people.
01:04:25.000And if you're able to say these policies harm people, they are more likely to be open to them.
01:04:31.000I think the border is a crazy issue because there were so many Republicans who would not talk about it.
01:04:39.000I mean, the Republican House, I think, or Congress wouldn't necessarily—they fought giving Trump funding for the border wall when he was in office because they were like, well, it's not that big a priority.
01:05:33.000And there are a lot of organizations that are built around encouraging people to cross, like non-profit organizations that are structured around encouraging people to cross the border.
01:05:42.000And so why would you turn off that cash flow if the purpose of your non-profit is to solve an issue like trying to get people to cross illegally?
01:06:06.000I think this has a lot to do with the echo chambers that most people who follow politics find themselves in.
01:06:11.000So you can frame that issue in that way, and it's accurate, but sharing the horrors of what's going on is not going to be how they receive that information.
01:06:19.000They're not going to get the information from somebody who's willing to share all the facts of what it actually means to go through a border crossing, right?
01:06:27.000Not the coyotes, Not all of the drugs that come through.
01:06:29.000It's being framed to them, whether it's by MSNBC, CNN, any of these places, as a humanitarian issue that they have to be a bleeding heart on.
01:06:37.000So therefore, they don't get the full breadth of what's actually happening, which is why their views don't change.
01:07:42.000Well, this idiot mayor of mine, well, former idiot mayor of mine, because I don't live in New York City anymore, he's suing the Texas bus company.
01:07:48.000So I mean, how much damage is that going to do?
01:07:50.000I think the answer here is just for Abbott to send the migrants to Native American reservations and then ask the left why they're upset if they get mad about it.
01:07:58.000They should be very happy because migration's a good thing, right?
01:08:01.000If you like it so much, why don't you encourage it everywhere?
01:09:51.000I mean, the fact that they can just walk in and there's no like, you know, background check, there's nothing going on.
01:09:56.000The Republicans had their press conference the other day.
01:09:59.000There were migrants crossing in the background.
01:10:01.000And that's not even the first time that has happened where there's been a live press conference.
01:10:04.000The Republicans need to stop with this like lip service and like Pull the strings!
01:10:09.000Stop with the shenanigans and make it happen in capital!
01:10:12.000But that's what they were doing when they had that Ukraine funding bill, and they were like, okay, if you want to pass this, you have to increase border security.
01:10:29.000I just find it funny like the senators that are really trying to get the push the immigration and the Ukraine have the only one is like Sinema and she's only doing this because of election year for her.
01:10:40.000Then you got a guy from like what Chris where you got Connecticut and then you got Langford from Oklahoma.
01:10:48.000And like they're really just really mostly push it for Ukraine fund.
01:10:51.000There's nothing really about anything for the border because they're really not really
01:10:55.000talking about it. No, I mean the border is something Republicans alone talk about,
01:10:59.000which is crazy. They'll talk about it, but they want to attach to something. Can we stop attaching
01:11:03.000things to things? Well, right now they're using it as a tool to stop other things, right?
01:11:07.000Because they know Democrats won't give in on it.
01:11:09.000The Democrats see supporting a closed border or even, you know, enforcing laws that are on the books, how dare we, as a death, as the, you know, end of their career.
01:11:21.000So Republicans are using it to stop things.
01:11:23.000And I think you're right, they should do things to move it forward.
01:11:26.000Unfortunately, I think they No, because you know why?
01:11:32.000They're gonna cave the same way how they did with the whole debt ceiling.
01:11:36.000We caved and we added more to the deficit than we did to try to like, you know, cut down and reduce it.
01:11:55.000There's nothing we could take back home and say that we accomplished anything because we haven't.
01:11:59.000Let's jump to this story, this is big, from NBC News.
01:12:01.000State government buildings face bomb threats for second consecutive day.
01:12:05.000Buildings across Mississippi and Arkansas received bomb threats on Thursday, one day after similar threats forced state capital complexes across the U.S.
01:12:50.000The majority of the ones that I could track down, the law enforcement that were releasing
01:12:54.000information said the hoaxes were a CV email.
01:12:57.000Typically, it seemed like it went to someone who worked at the state government building and it triggered an evacuation.
01:13:02.000Today, there are other government buildings in multiple states.
01:13:05.000So like Mississippi has several, not the state capitol, but other affiliated government buildings that are receiving similar threats.
01:13:12.000The interesting one from yesterday was that Maine had received, I think it was 60 schools in Maine, mid-December had received bomb threats via email.
01:13:22.000You know, it's not exactly the same thing, but it's very much like a swatting for these government buildings.
01:13:27.000In some cases, and you're asking about patterns, so some are Republican states, some are Democrats, some are in session, some are not in session.
01:13:35.000It's not really that there's a consistent pattern from what I can see, but it is interesting that now it's spreading throughout other states.
01:13:40.000States that were already affected are seeing other... And you're saying this is all like swatting?
01:13:44.000I mean, they're bond threats, so they're not sending in the SWAT team necessarily, but they are disrupting business.
01:14:10.000My only point is it's interesting because it's all cybercrime.
01:14:14.000Like, none of the buildings that were affected yesterday, and as far as I know, I haven't done all of my due diligence research on the buildings that were affected today, none of them actually had explosives in them.
01:14:22.000So you're saying this is a cybercrime because they just found out, like, Russia has been hijacking our cybersecurity for the past 13 months?
01:16:06.000Then it became CDs, then it became USBs.
01:16:08.000And USBs are the commonplace thing now.
01:16:10.000Someone will just put a virus on a USB, they'll walk in front of the target building, and they'll just drop it.
01:16:17.000And all they gotta do is wait, because sooner or later someone walking into that building for their job will see the USB and pick it up and stick it right in their computer on the network and infect the network.
01:16:25.000And no matter what you do, no matter how many times you tell these people, they don't care.
01:16:30.000Because that guy who works in the mailroom goes, I know we're not supposed to, but what do I care?
01:16:34.000Clicks it in and goes, oh crap, it was a virus, wasn't me, and throws the stick away.
01:16:40.000So these kind of vulnerabilities we face, Look, if they can shut down state capitals, and what are we dealing with, like 13 states in two days?
01:17:16.000It's just so insane how easy it is to break a machine.
01:17:20.000I can give you a million different scenarios.
01:17:22.000But imagine what would happen if there was a terror attack and then at the same time the foreign adversary who did it shuts down communications in the United States.
01:17:30.000What happens when multiple law enforcement agencies show up to the same scene unable to communicate?
01:17:35.000How many stories have there been where police show up on scene and shoot the wrong guy?
01:17:40.000In New York, they opened fire on a perpetrator and they hit a bunch of innocent people on accident.
01:17:45.000It is chaos. And if they can't coordinate, communicate, and there's an explosion in DC, and then one jurisdiction says,
01:17:51.000we've lost communications, we got to figure out what's going on, and there's no way to communicate effectively,
01:17:56.000then a bunch of random people show up and no one knows who anybody is.
01:18:00.000Now, I do think our Security Act President of the United States has plans for things like this.
01:18:38.000And everyone's saying they did it in this way because they wanted him to get shot and killed to fight back, not realizing they were law enforcement.
01:18:46.000Plainclothes FBI show up to an attack with guns drawn.
01:18:50.000State law enforcement doesn't know who these guys are.
01:18:52.000They show up and they say, drop your guns, and they're all screaming at each other.
01:18:55.000You ever see that video of the ATF guy getting detained by the cops?
01:19:00.000It's when they got turned into the meme.
01:19:02.000He walked to the guy's house because the guy reportedly bought a shotgun and he's like, you know, give me your information, banging on the door.
01:19:08.000The guy who lives there calls the police.
01:19:09.000There's a strange man with a gun is banging on my door.
01:19:11.000The cops show up and they're like, I'm the ground now.
01:19:12.000And he goes, no, I'm, I'm law enforcement.
01:19:14.000They're like, shut your mouth on the ground now.
01:19:17.000And the, and the ATF guy is like, no, I don't have to.
01:19:33.000Now, this was one ATF guy and a handful of cops, so it gets resolved afterwards.
01:19:37.000But imagine if this is federal law enforcement subverting the law on the border, Texas state level trying to enforce the law on the border, an attack happens, communications go down.
01:19:59.000The FBI is setting up a fake drug sale, and then the DEA is doing a fake drug buy, and then they all turn out to be like, oh, we're all law enforcement already!
01:20:06.000And you, the taxpayer, paid for all of it!
01:20:09.000You gotta ask yourself, why is this happening this week?
01:20:14.000I mean, I think it's the start of the new year.
01:20:25.000I mean, one of the things I found interesting about this is it's not like they picked the swing states and then everyone would pin.
01:20:30.000No, no, I'm just saying, like, they picked a bunch of state houses of various sides. It's not all of our most populated states
01:20:36.000across the country, and not all of them were in session. And so in some ways, to me,
01:20:41.000this is all just testing, right? This is to see what the response is. That's why I made the
01:20:45.000comparison to the casinos, right? To a certain level, like when you do that kind of thing, and especially
01:20:49.000if you do it to two major different casino brands, you're ultimately trying to see which one
01:20:52.000will give you money and which one won't.
01:20:54.000You want to know what their response is. You want to know what their security protocol is.
01:20:59.000And effectively, obviously, in this case, no one's hurt, everything's fine. But on the other hand,
01:21:05.000there is now an obvious way to get state capitals to close down as fast as possible.
01:21:10.000Well, think about, like, it's like an election period and somebody just calls in or does something like this at, like, a voting... at, like, someplace where people vote, right?
01:21:20.000So there's a lot of ways where you can just merely disrupt something at a time when there's a finite amount of...
01:21:27.000Throw too much shade on him, but if Jamal Bowman could just pull the fire alarm, this is effectively what anyone could do to stop a vote that they don't like.
01:21:35.000In one of the states, I can't remember which one off the top of my head, their Supreme Court, the state Supreme Court was in session.
01:21:42.000So theoretically, if you didn't want business to take place, you don't even need to be in this country to be able to say, I'm going to disrupt the day.
01:21:52.000Well, the thing is, he was a school principal and he would never ever do anything wrong.
01:21:56.000In all seriousness, how is it that this man committed a crime on camera?
01:22:00.000How is it that this man committed a crime, everybody saw on video he committed the crime, he lied about committing the crime, and Republicans have done nothing?
01:22:07.000Because technically it didn't really stop.
01:22:10.000I asked the one lawmaker and he told me- That has nothing to do with what I asked.
01:22:50.000The location of the Capitol has nothing to do with whether or not it's illegal to pull a fire alarm.
01:22:53.000The issue is that there are criminals occupying the government and there's no good men or women willing to do their jobs.
01:22:58.000Not a single Capitol police officer took it upon themselves to make an arrest.
01:23:02.000Look, if a Capitol police officer has the ability to arrest someone for walking, you know, entering the building unlawfully, like breaking security, if a cop has the ability to issue a citation for driving of their own volition, if a cop has the ability to arrest you because they witnessed you obstructing a roadway, A Capitol Police officer could just walk up, arrest Bowman, and say, we saw you on camera, do it!
01:23:55.000A single capital officer nowhere just said, I'm gonna arrest the guy.
01:23:58.000I haven't looked at it a couple weeks, but he did get some kind of plea deal where he's on probation, he has to go to court in three months.
01:24:03.000Like, there was something that he got cited.
01:24:16.000And then the evidence came out that it wasn't just that he pulled the fire alarm, it was that he removed the sign saying, don't use this door or whatever, and then pulled the fire alarm.
01:24:24.000And that was sort of where I wanted more furor from the Republicans.
01:24:27.000But again, the Republican that introduced them has now been expelled from Congress.
01:25:21.000The headline looks bad, but in effect, do we want the government to just be continuously passing tons and tons of bills more than the year before?
01:25:26.000I mean, the only bills they passed was changing the post office name and adding a new street.
01:25:47.000We don't want them to pass bills, we want them to pass, like, criminal referrals.
01:25:50.000Right, but I'm saying, like, you can't say, like, we did this, we passed the most border enhanced security bill ever, we've done this, we've helped pass Ukraine aid, we've helped pass Israel aid.
01:25:59.000Like, you look at all the Republicans, they made all these videos for, like, Christmas.
01:26:04.000They passed it in the House, but it's not going to go to the Senate.
01:26:07.000Stop taking credit for something that didn't happen.
01:26:11.000But the thing is, like, it's not that I don't think... I think they should be productive.
01:26:14.000I think there are certain things that they should prioritize.
01:26:16.000Like I said, with the border, it seems like they're using it to stop Democrats from getting more funding out of the country.
01:26:21.000And also, they know that ultimately everything will fail in the Senate.
01:26:24.000I mean, it's a weirdly unproductive time because we're sort of staring down the barrel of another presidential election.
01:26:31.000Republicans only have control of the House by a very slim majority.
01:26:34.000I mean, when, what's his name, Bill Johnson, the guy from Ohio who just announced he's retiring in like three weeks, when he leaves, there's only 219 Republicans to 213 Democrats.
01:26:42.000So there's a certain level of like, Yes, I would like them to do more.
01:26:48.000On the other hand, I don't actually believe this could be a highly productive time anyway.
01:26:52.000But just don't make it seem like it's semantics that you actually did something when you actually did nothing.
01:26:56.000You know, back up your claims that you've done stuff.
01:26:58.000Yeah, we need the ones that are like, limited government.
01:27:14.000It's, I don't want to be something as nothing.
01:27:17.000I don't just want like the goal to be like Congress has to say we passed more bills than last year but the problem is with the average American it looks so bad.
01:27:26.000If you're a political guy like us like we're so into this stuff like we we cheer this on but then you ask like the regular average Joe in America they're gonna be like we pay their salary and they did nothing?
01:27:39.000I don't know if all Americans would feel that way, though.
01:27:41.000I mean, I think there is enough distrust of government because, like, we want to look back at COVID when they passed all kinds of things and said all kinds of crazy stuff.
01:27:49.000Like, I think there is a growing distrust of the federal government where people would say, like, maybe we don't want a lot of stuff happening.
01:27:56.000But if you tell an average American, like, hey, this was the least productive Congress, just leave it like that.
01:28:17.000We're coming up at a time eventually where nothing will matter unless either party has a super majority because everybody's voting on party lines so often now anyways.
01:28:47.000But remember the voting statistics which said like women said the biggest red flag is if the guy they might date supports Trump or Republicans and the men said like the biggest red flag is if she's a communist?
01:28:58.000Hey listen, my biggest red flag is if I'm the dating guy but he says he's a liberal or he has he-she-they-we-or-what-what-when-where-why.
01:29:06.000But you know what I realize is really funny is that, you know, growing up the trope was that men are sex obsessed.
01:29:12.000And the meme is, you know, men only want one thing, it's disgusting.
01:29:16.000And then you start to realize when you watch comedy videos, it's actually totally the other way around.
01:29:21.000Guys are object oriented and totally interested in sports, numbers.
01:29:25.000They actually don't talk all that much about women.
01:29:28.000And women talk about nothing but guys.
01:29:30.000Men have a lot of unique hobbies that end up binding them together with their friends.
01:29:34.000So I look at these comedy videos and I follow a bunch of comedians on Instagram.
01:29:46.000With Dave Chappelle, look at his jokes.
01:29:49.000He's joking about Madison Cawthorn, handicapped.
01:29:51.000He's talking about Andy Kaufman and Jim Carrey, telling life stories.
01:29:55.000All of these female comedians, the joke is, they're always just talking about their vaginas.
01:29:59.000And so, I mean, that's a crass way of putting it.
01:30:01.000But every single female comedian, when I'm on Instagram and I hit refresh, and I'm seeing all these comedians, if there's a female comedian, I know that if I hit it, she's going to be talking about dating a guy.
01:30:11.000I know if it's a guy, it could be anything.
01:30:12.000And the reason I bring that up is because as we're looking at the bifurcation of politics between men and women, I believe it's going to result in this country moving conservative for the reason of Women are more subject-oriented and more time-constrained in having a partner.
01:30:27.000So if a guy says, I don't like commies, he just won't date anybody.
01:30:30.000But around 30 to 35, when women start getting, you know, the biological clock is ticking and they want to have kids, they have to start trying to find a guy.
01:30:37.000But if guys are skewing to the right, those women will have to adapt themselves to the guy, not the other way around.
01:30:46.000One of my favorite points in that book was, the psychologist John Gray points out, that when men go to lunch, they're typically going to talk about a specific problem, they're like, we have a, there is a purpose to it, right?
01:30:57.000They're meeting, it's something, there's something to do.
01:30:59.000Women go, and they just sort of gather a lot of information, right?
01:31:03.000So one of the reasons, like, the stereotypes, like, girls can be on the phone with their friends for hours and hours, because They're wired to do different things, and I think both are valuable, but they play out very differently in society.
01:31:13.000Well, look at A Family Guy is the joke, where Peter Griffin gets injected with the gay gene as part of a clinical trial, and then he calls, I think he calls Quagmire, and he's like, hey Glenn, and Glenn's like, yeah.
01:31:35.000And I think that, you know, these things could be good.
01:31:38.000The problem is that feminism has really made it so that women are trying to compete with men in male spheres.
01:31:44.000They don't just do things that are natural to women and like them.
01:31:48.000It sort of makes it so, like, the best female comedians that I know actually have some really interesting social observations, right?
01:31:55.000Like, when Ali Wong, who does talk about her vagina a lot, would talk about trying to trap her Harvard-educated husband, or Harvard Business School husband, it was really funny, right?
01:32:04.000Because the way women talk about, like, the way they approach dating when it's not necessarily about their sexual approach to dating can be really nuanced, can be really interesting, because it gives you an insight into something you may not know.
01:32:15.000It's the same thing with female comedians.
01:32:19.000Because, dude, she's going to be talking about a guy she dated.
01:32:22.000And I'm just like... You can ask a random girl on the street and she'll tell you the same thing that comedian just said.
01:32:29.000But it's totally fine if this is what women find funny, hearing another woman talk about her boyfriend.
01:32:34.000For me, I'm like... You know, that's why we were talking on the Members Only show about this one female comedian who made a joke about homelessness, and I'm like, that was a really, really good joke.
01:32:42.000But it's just like, yeah, we talked about this.
01:32:43.000But I swear, I'm on Instagram, and I'm going through it, and I'll hit a guy's joke, and he'll be like...
01:32:49.000You know, so my car broke down or something like that, and you're like, oh wow, what happened to your car?
01:32:52.000And I'll be telling a story like I was going to the supermarket and this guy was trying to buy this Coca-Cola, right?
01:32:55.000And I'm like, oh, what's this story about buying a Coca-Cola, something that happened?
01:32:58.000And then I click the woman and she's like, so my boyfriend, here's the trick, my boyfriend, and I'm like, okay.
01:33:02.000Well, I don't know, it's just unrelatable to me.
01:33:04.000And that's fine, you're allowed to like these things.
01:33:05.000But anyway, aside from all of that, no more whinging about female comedians, the point is...
01:33:10.000What I've started to see with these social trends, when we've learned this from Instagram, women care substantially more about how you fit in socially than men do.
01:33:20.000I think we've known this for a long time.
01:33:22.000What this means is, a guy will be 35, sitting there like, yeah, you know what?
01:33:36.000Yeah but then when you find all these guys that vote for Trump and then they find a girl that votes for Trump, they're scared shitless what to do next.
01:33:48.000Right, that sounds like an anecdotal thing, not a data thing.
01:33:51.000I'm trying to say like, no, I'm just trying to say like an alpha and an alpha came together.
01:33:54.000See, I think it's that men will tack more conservative, there will be more men who are openly outspoken about what they believe, but because women are socially observant and that's what they're doing, there will be generations of women after that who move more conservative to keep up, right?
01:34:10.000Because ultimately what you're saying is true.
01:34:11.000What I'm saying is the pressure is on women, not men.
01:34:13.000So you're going to have women who are not alphas.
01:34:15.000They're going to be saying something like, guy, I will say whatever you want me to say, please.
01:34:19.000And there's going to be a guy like, bro, I can have... So she's willing to sell out for less than what she believes in?
01:34:37.000I think it really depends on her social exposure, right?
01:34:39.000Because if she's largely socializing with women, like maybe she does want to marry a man, but ultimately she works in a female-dominated industry, she hangs out with all of her female friends, and all of her female friends naturally tack left, they're all voting Democrat, she is likely to hold on to police.
01:34:51.000But as soon as you put women into more balanced or social environments where there are more men, I think that changes really quickly.
01:34:59.000And I don't necessarily think it's because of dating, I think it's because of social compliance, which is higher among women.
01:35:03.000But there's a lot of liberal women that they're in their late 30s, early 40s, and they're out there bragging about being a feminist and being a liberal.
01:35:14.000And I'm like, why is your greatest accomplishment that you don't have kids?
01:35:18.000So that's breaking down now because you've got these articles from, say, Business Insider, where this woman says, I was lied to by feminism.
01:35:25.000And she said she wants to go back to all her feminist college professors and says, when was this supposed to happen?
01:35:57.000But the only way to buy tickets is to be a member, and the link is available on the front page of TimCast.com.
01:36:02.000We're doing this mostly, it's partially for a vetting reason, and it's also because members get first priority, so as soon as the link went up, the members got access to it.
01:36:09.000If you're not a member, you gotta become one.
01:36:11.000But also, we're gonna have that uncensored members-only show at 10pm, where you can hang out with us behind the scenes, where we say things that are not so family-friendly.
01:36:31.000It is an active 24-7 chat room with like-minded individuals who watch the show and run their own chat shows, pre-shows, after-shows, guests, and everything.
01:36:39.000It is a vibrant community of people who are discussing all these ideas.
01:37:18.000It is a private park, and there will not be skatepark people working there because there's not going to be anybody showing up to, like, come in and check in.
01:37:25.000It's going to be a, I say semi-private because we will invite some people sometimes, but that just basically means it's private.
01:37:31.000But we're gonna do a bunch of really cool stuff.
01:37:33.000We are planning a party for the official completion of the skate park.
01:37:37.000The good news is the structure of the new studio, it's done.
01:37:41.000The rooms are done, the green room is done, the kitchen is there, the bathrooms are all there.
01:38:02.000It'll be really, really cool, really fun.
01:38:03.000And we're adding a bunch of new cool, crazy features!
01:38:06.000One of the features we're adding is called a delay button.
01:38:10.000Do you guys know what a delay button does?
01:38:12.000So, let's just say, for instance, we're talking about Epstein, and someone on the show just can't hold it in any longer, and they scream out of the top of their lungs how much they want to commit an act of violence.
01:38:24.000When that happens, we press the button, that portion drops, and it never goes live.
01:38:29.000You see, all big networks already have that.
01:38:34.000So if you're watching cable sometimes, they'll be doing a live interview and they'll be like, joining us live to talk about this issue is John Smith.
01:38:40.000And then they'll be talking and then all of a sudden it'll just jump to the host being like, sorry about that everybody, but moving on.
01:38:46.000And you're like, wait, what just happened?
01:38:47.000Or they'll say like the call dropped, right?
01:38:49.000No, they'll actually... I mean like the connection dropped.
01:39:03.000Yeah, when the calls drop the calls drop sometimes the calls drop and we roll our eyes like I can't remember it
01:39:09.000was like Um, I think it was what's-his-face Cuomo has that famous
01:39:12.000viral video where he's talking to someone They start bringing up some sensitive issue and then all
01:39:16.000sudden it does that boo. He's like, oh geez and that really fake
01:39:19.000But no, no My point is, quite literally, networks all have these delay buttons, and then they'll say, sorry about that, everybody.
01:39:28.000It'll just, mid-conversation, then it'll just jump to those going, sorry about that, everybody, that language is not acceptable on this network.
01:40:28.000Vivek Ramaswamy was asked to condemn white supremacy, and he gave this excellent response about, I'm not going to bend the knee to your religion.
01:40:37.000I condemn all forms of racial discrimination.
01:40:39.000But what you're asking is, you know, he basically says, you're playing a game of trying to play this gotcha game.
01:41:30.000When you sign up at TimCast.com and join the discord, you can never leave because once you start arguing with someone online, you can't stop.
01:41:37.000But we're not a cult, you're free to go anytime.
01:41:40.000Well, we're not a cult, it's just- That's not true, I get in the discord sometimes and I argue with people and then I just leave.
01:41:59.000So we have a whole bunch of superchats of people giving potential names, but uh, you know, Sheldon Adelson is a name, Alejandro Mayorkas, 17 letters.
01:42:40.000That's what I'm trying to think in my head.
01:42:42.000Make it a wordle game with the court and the court, and it's like, if we figure it out, you have to, the name is really... If we get the letter, you have to let us know!
01:43:24.000And most people, this is the funny thing, I'll tweet out, we released a song.
01:43:29.000I tweeted this out like the other day, like our fourth song hit Billboard and they went, I didn't know you made music.
01:43:34.000And I'm like, it's kind of wild that we had four out of five songs chart on Billboard, which is like most bands don't even get one song on Billboard charts.
01:44:08.000It's why people get mad when you have to constantly tell people to, when you mentioned like, subscribe, all these things because they have to hear it multiple times because not everybody's paying attention exactly at that moment.
01:44:39.000But I don't see a reason why she would be on the list.
01:44:42.000I think it has to be, like... Probably gonna be a dude.
01:44:44.000We gotta cross-reference it with people that were, like, known to have an affiliation, right?
01:44:50.000Stephen Bachmeier says they mentioned redacting because of security risks in Home Country of People, which is why some people think the prince is from SA, Saudi Arabia.
01:44:59.000These drops are not legally damning, they are culturally and morally damning.
01:45:38.000Samuel Brucker says, what if instead of a famous person, it's an unknown person whose very existence is evidence of something much worse than all of the grape?
01:47:31.000The October surprise is someone coming out and claiming Donald Trump did the whole thing and they create an org chart with Trump above Epstein.
01:48:28.000It's kind of creepy when Epstein is known for doing what he does and then he says the word young because you assume it means younger than he's already involved in.
01:48:54.000Like, someone on there was guessing, like, oh, this prince's name fits the number of syllables, but they are two separate mysterious people.
01:49:00.000And the Saudi prince has, like, five names, so they would have to put his whole name out there.
01:49:04.000I mean, but theoretically, that's a transcript, so they wouldn't say, like, all of the names.
01:49:08.000They might just refer it by, like, the common name he's known.
01:49:10.000They'll name, like, prince, or they'll probably put his MBS, whatever.
01:49:23.000I'm not condemning people who do a deal with the devil to save their kids.
01:49:27.000I'm making the point that when the devil offers you the deal, it's not going to be for a luxury car, it's going to be to feed your children.
01:49:33.000It will be the hardest decision you have to make.
01:49:35.000And I think it's fair to say, perhaps the majority of men would sell their soul to the devil.
01:49:41.000Knowing they would condemn themselves for eternity if it meant their kids got to eat.
01:50:46.000What you're actually doing is making sure that your child grows up in despair and desolation and your grandkids are slaves living in pods and eating bugs.
01:50:54.000Or your kids can go hungry today and you can fight the hardest fight you've ever fought and then maybe in 50 years your grandchildren will live in prosperity and thank you for your sacrifice.
01:51:02.000A society grows great when men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sleep beneath.
01:51:25.000I think we've solved the entire thing there, sir.
01:51:27.000All of these non-citizens who are coming in, we just place them on the Native American reservations and there we go.
01:51:34.000The Native Americans will be glad to see the migration culturally enriching their reservations.
01:51:39.000The left will agree that it's not colonization.
01:51:41.000Migration's a net benefit for everybody.
01:51:43.000And these migrants who are coming in will require goods and services.
01:51:46.000So what will happen is businesses will start popping up on the reservations.
01:51:49.000The casinos that some of these reservations have will flourish.
01:51:52.000And for those that don't, you'll see Walmarts popping up in no time, because obviously these migrants want jobs and also want to buy products.
01:54:48.000I appreciate the super chat, but I can tell you why you're wrong.
01:54:50.000Because there are law enforcement officers facilitating the invasion on the southern border with smiles on their faces because they would rather their kid eats today, and the United States burn, and your families burn, and your culture and community burn.
01:55:03.000These men don't care about what is wrong.
01:55:06.000They care about what protects their family.
01:55:08.000So long as those men exist, you can't tell me that men can make long-term decisions beneficial to society.
01:55:13.000Sure, they can also make decisions of personal benefit because they care more about their kids than you and what this feature has for their kids.
01:55:35.000They are more social, they're different, but generalizing them too much is a mistake.
01:55:40.000Yeah, there are good women and there are bad guys.
01:55:42.000Like how many male feminists are out there?
01:55:44.000You can't tell me that men are capable of making these decisions when half of millennials are, like 45% of millennial men are identified as male feminists or whatever.
01:55:52.000These guys can't make good decisions because even women call them creepy.
01:56:31.000And we wonder why the birth rates are collapsing.
01:56:33.000Those border agents did nothing wrong, but they were so reprimanded like if they did something so highly... I think, yeah, I mean, that was one of the reasons that Alejandro Mayorkas is being accused of dereliction of duty, which is that he went and told Congress, yes, that was awful, and they did these things, and it wasn't even true, right?
01:56:52.000I think the fear is a big part of it, right?
01:56:55.000There are people who want to lose their jobs, but also there are people who just don't want to be canceled for theoretically being an evil law enforcement officer doing something they shouldn't.
01:57:02.000And when you know the ultimate authority is contradicting itself, that we have these border laws on the books, but that the federal government is not going to back you up if you are in your professional capacity enforcing them, then your hands are really tied.
01:57:15.000What are you supposed to be Those ages were like, they didn't get paid for like 10, 12, almost a year.
01:57:20.000And maybe they should go work for a state border agency at this point.
01:57:26.000Tom Pant says, sometimes the delay button doesn't work as Shepard Smith found out during a police chase several years ago.
01:58:04.000So we have a professional studio production company coming in in a few weeks for the new studio, and they're gonna have, like, professional lighting.
01:59:09.000You're moving around a lot of stuff, and depending on what time of day it is and how tired you are, you bump into a lot of lights.
01:59:13.000What we did for this studio was In the corner of the ceiling, there's LED bars that wrap around the entire room, so all light is balanced, and then in the middle is warmer lights, they're more yellow, and then we control the amount of warmth that we have in the center of the room versus the white on the outside of the room, so everything is uniform and there's no shadows.

02:01:16.000And we'll see hopefully, can you can I sneak inside your suitcase and go back to Iowa because I just realized there's a there was a town hall like Hayley and DeSantis on CNN.
02:01:29.000So on the 10th, yeah, CNN is hosting a debate between Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis and we are going to counter their programming with our own town hall featuring Vivek Ramaswamy.
02:01:39.000They're saying around the Santa's Nikki Haley answered questions from Iowa voters in back-to-back City Hall and South Halls as the state pivots the Iowa caucus.
02:01:45.000Yeah, they have something going on tonight.
02:02:15.000Again, same cool team, really proud of what they're doing.
