Donald Trump shows up in East Palestine, Ohio with food, water, and a bunch of other stuff, and we talk about it and much more. Plus, we have a live call-in from Mark O'Shaw.
00:00:00.000So Donald Trump shows up in East Palestine, Ohio, bringing food, water, and Big Macs.
00:00:27.000I kid you not, he apparently came out and said, we're gonna get everybody some McDonald's, and I appreciate it, man.
00:00:31.000I'm watching this video of Trump, he's getting a hero's welcome, he's getting a presidential welcome, and he's actually helping people.
00:00:38.000Call it whatever you want, call it a photo op, call it opportunism, call it campaigning, don't know, don't care.
00:00:43.000If I see the President of the United States, Leave this country to Ukraine with $500 million in cash for a foreign country and ignore the people of this country?
00:00:51.000I'm gonna look to anybody who's helping it out, which is why I've repeatedly given a shout-out to Benny Johnson, who showed up and gave out $20,000.
00:00:58.000He did more than Joe Biden did, and he's just some internet guy.
00:01:09.000Joe Biden literally fell up the stairs again.
00:01:12.000Okay, we got a bunch of other stories, too, so we'll get into all this, but the big story right now, obviously, is East Palestine, Donald Trump, the presidency, politics, and all that stuff, so we're gonna get into all that.
00:01:22.000Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com to become a member and support our work.
00:01:26.000Go there, at TimCast.com, click that little Join Us button in the left, become a member, Tonight around 10.10 or so, after we wrap the live stream, we will have a live members-only show.
00:01:41.000So we initially would pre-record the members-only segment, put it up for members, but now it is live because we figured it out, and we are working on a private Discord for members, meaning a private chat for people who want to hang out and chat 24-7.
00:01:54.000And then this will be the chat room for the live members only show with the ability to bring in callers so you can ask our guests questions as well.
00:02:08.000So we do the main show, we hang out, we talk, then afterwards those who want to hang out and watch Additionally, and maybe have more questions, we can actually get you on to talk with the guests.
00:02:39.000Well, I am host of the Unwokeable podcast at UnwokeablePod on YouTube, Twitter, citizen journalist and probably the least famous person to be on TimCast IRL, but I appreciate being here.
00:04:16.000Former President Donald Trump has traveled to East Palestine to survey the damage and recovery efforts following the 38-car derailment of a Norfolk Southern train carrying hazardous materials.
00:04:25.000Officials from East Palestine welcome the former president, with the chief of the East Palestine Fire Department offering him a briefing one might expect President Joe Biden to receive, were he not otherwise occupied in foreign territories.
00:04:51.000For East Palestine first responders and himself after delivering 13 pallets of food and Trump water to families betrayed by Biden after toxic train disaster.
00:05:23.000This is what I absolutely love about Trump.
00:05:25.000He will come down, and he will help all of these desperate people, and he will slap his name on the water bottle.
00:05:32.000Well, to be fair, this is what really annoyed me during the Trump administration, among many other things.
00:05:37.000They would mock Trump over Trump Water, Trump Magazine, and Trump Steak, and what they wouldn't tell you is that these were brand products for his golf resorts.
00:05:45.000So when you go to Walmart, and they've got the Walmart brand, it's great value or whatever, when you go to a grocery store and they have their name, that's all it is.
00:05:53.000They were acting like Trump was selling Trump water in grocery stores.
00:05:58.000And all the liberals were like, Trump water went out of business and Trump Magazine is gone.
00:06:02.000I walk in the hotel room and I look down at the table and there's Trump Magazine and a bottle of Trump water.
00:06:06.000And I'm like, what are these people talking about?
00:06:08.000These are companies that Donald Trump owns that provide these materials to his resorts.
00:06:13.000So Trump has a bunch of these water bottles, probably from a bunch of different resort properties.
00:06:18.000And he said, grab what we got, ship it out.
00:06:22.000Everybody knows that you go into a hotel and there's bottles of water.
00:06:25.000And it'll have the hotel's brand name on it, typically.
00:06:27.000Not always, depending on the tier, the star rating or whatever.
00:06:31.000But Trump has pallets of water at these hotels and just said, load up on my truck, we'll pay for shipping, and then we can give these to people who need them.
00:07:28.000If they come out, and I'm sure they could come up with something to attack Trump over, but all that would serve to do is highlight that Trump is there and Biden is not.
00:07:43.000He brought water with him, by all means.
00:07:44.000If a photo-op means people in need get the help they need, then that's better leadership than what Biden is offering.
00:07:49.000I certainly wouldn't call it a photo-op.
00:07:50.000It'd be a photo-op if he was there looking around and they took pictures, but he's giving people life sustenance.
00:07:55.000Right, well he's also giving them air.
00:07:57.000You know, he's giving them air time that they normally wouldn't get.
00:08:00.000And that's been the problem right now.
00:08:01.000We were all talking about Chinese balloons while this was happening, and I'm sure that's a serious thing, but it seemed to overshadow this giant Let's say it's a photo op.
00:08:26.000Biden couldn't give a damn to take a picture?
00:08:28.000Biden couldn't show up for 10 minutes, get a picture, and leave?
00:08:47.000Most people don't even know what it is or where it is.
00:08:49.000And many of these people are flying the flag.
00:08:51.000But I tell you this, ask somebody where Ohio is, to be honest, a lot of people might not know where Ohio is, but most Americans probably do, and they know it is America.
00:08:59.000And my question is just, why are my tax dollars going to Ukraine and not to East Palestine?
00:09:36.000Even the remarks he's making and that, you know, he's being that funny kind of same dude that people that like Trump really, really like.
00:09:45.000The everyman Trump, you know, even though he's a billionaire, right?
00:09:48.000That he can connect with people that aren't billionaires.
00:09:50.000And that's, you know, he grew up in New York and that's part of that culture.
00:09:54.000And so I think that's what's been missing from his campaign and from his persona since he's really been cut off from the American people in the way that made him popular in the first place.
00:10:02.000You know, my favorite story was the well done steak with ketchup.
00:10:06.000And how the corporate press attacked him for it.
00:10:08.000Those that are long-standing fans of the show have heard me mention this story probably a dozen times, but Trump was ragged on by CNN because he ordered a, it was like a 30-day dry-aged steak well done with ketchup.
00:10:20.000And I'm just like, a lot of lower and working class people who get steaks from the grocery store that are not high quality will cook it through and splash ketchup on it because they can't afford a 30-day dry-aged filet mignon or, you know, whatever.
00:10:35.000Donald Trump was basically signaling to regular working people he ate the way they ate, and they mocked him for it.
00:10:42.000And when they went on TV and said, Donald Trump, what an idiot for doing this, the people sitting at home were cutting into their well-done steak with ketchup going, You're making fun of me.
00:12:14.000When you talk about water, you're talking about food, too.
00:12:16.000The farmland and everything that's out all around there, but just the food, the crops that are going to grow around this place that would go out to probably grocery stores all over the country and definitely in Ohio.
00:12:29.000What does it mean for the food supply?
00:12:31.000Fortunately, I don't think it's going to be that bad relative to what nuclear holocaust or like Chernobyl because what I'm reading about the chemicals is that they have a very short half-life like what was the main one vinyl chloride has like a 2.3 day half-life so after a week you've got about 15 15% of this, 25% of the chemicals.
00:12:53.000No, after a week, you've got like 12.5% of it left in the air.
00:12:57.000And then after a few more days, you've got like 6% of it left.
00:13:00.000So we've already seen 98% of the vinyl chloride disperse out of the air.
00:13:05.000It's really their concern is the benzenes.
00:13:07.000If there were a lot of benzenes in the fires, they said there were not.
00:13:11.000The official report is that it was benzene residue.
00:13:14.000I don't know if you should necessarily believe the official report, but when benzene burns, it creates dioxins, which are persistent, and those can stay in the air and in the soil for a long time, as far as I've read.
00:13:24.000Ryan Ellis super chatted, saying Politico's already attacking him.
00:13:28.000And so Politico has this semi-roundabout attack on Trump.
00:13:30.000It says Trump's visit to Ohio derailment gives Biden's team some breathing room.
00:13:34.000His planned appearance near the scene of this toxic derailment has Democrats pointing to his past efforts to roll back train and chemical regulations.
00:13:42.000The corporate press will find a way to make it a negative thing for Trump.
00:13:48.000Just get some people some burgers, man.
00:13:50.000I think it's more indicative of the fact that we spent a year and a half calling everything but infrastructure, infrastructure.
00:13:56.000I mean, if there was a problem with the rail yard, and we're doing this giant infrastructure bill, and you've got Democrats coming out and calling, you know, Underwater basket weaving classes infrastructure right that you you saw a lot of that So you had a lot of this this pork that that passed the 1.2 trillion dollars worth of money Going towards things that had nothing to do with infrastructure and and this is what comes of that So they're gonna try to spin it back on him, but weren't we supposed to be fixing the railways weren't we supposed to be doing that I?
00:14:45.000I just want to point out Ian's persistent, with all due respect, naivety.
00:14:50.000In terms of who these people really are.
00:14:52.000And, you know, often on the show, you'll talk about pardoning people or giving them the benefit of the doubt.
00:14:58.000And it's like, yo, man, when people tell you who they are, believe them.
00:15:02.000When Joe Biden sneaks off to Ukraine with $500 million and ignores this disaster in its entirety, and then outright, he doesn't even address it, his people are like, you're not coming there.
00:15:45.000You would think that it would have to be planned in a while, but if it wasn't, that could be an indication that maybe this was an effort to get eyes away.
00:15:55.000I had the feeling that it had been on track for a while, no one knew about it, but they were like, just gonna do it on this day anyway, and then the East Palestine thing was inconvenient to talk about because it was in the way.
00:16:25.000The people who live near this train derailment, that train company probably should compensate them for the fair market value of their properties before the damage.
00:17:59.000Someone, I think Carpe Donctum made a meme where Trump throws his hat in East Palestine and then it boomerangs around and hits Biden and he falls up the stairs.
00:18:07.000This is what we get, ladies and gentlemen.
00:18:08.000Your president not only abandoning the American people, visiting foreign countries and then falling up the stairs.
00:18:22.000What I want to know is, where is SNL on this?
00:18:24.000I mean, when Gerald Ford fell down the stairs in the 70s when he was president, that's what made Chevy Chase famous, was making fun of Gerald Ford when he fell down the stairs.
00:18:35.000And it's like, this has happened twice now, and you see nothing from places like SNL or any of the comedians making fun of it.
00:19:17.000Resort fees suck, I get it, but juxtapose with the Ukrainian stuff in East Palestine, it's like, what is he... The Babylon Bee wrote this headline, Biden promises to get rid of those resort fees by the time World War III starts, but that's literally what he's saying.
00:19:32.000So he didn't literally say, I will get rid of these fees before the start of World War
00:19:37.000III, but World War III is on the—we're on the cusp of a major
00:21:53.000Well, I'll be over in Ukraine giving $500 million from your taxes to a country you can't point to on a map.
00:22:00.000Anna de Armas, somebody, there was an actor saying that the age of social media has basically killed the movie star.
00:22:08.000It's basically, there are no more movie stars now.
00:22:10.000It's a lot, I think, a lot less about the art that you make and more about who you are as a person because it's a lot more prevalent and obvious now.
00:22:17.000And it's the same thing with the president.
00:22:19.000They don't hide behind this visage of the title.
00:22:22.000Now you get to see this guy in his daily behavior and it's insane.
00:22:32.000This tweet from Joe Biden is worse than nothing.
00:22:35.000He said, after my speech today, I spoke with EPA Michael Reagan, Sherrod Brown, Bill Johnson, Shapiro, DeWine about our ongoing efforts in East Palestine, Ohio.
00:22:44.000I reaffirmed my commitment to making sure they have everything they need.
00:22:48.000And there is a picture of him sitting on the phone in, I don't know where he is, but it's just like, Bro, just do nothing and say nothing, because at the very least then we can try to imagine what might you have been doing, but to be like, I got on the phone with some guys, told them just let me know what you need, then got on a plane and what are you praying?
00:23:43.000This had to have been taken before March or like before November or whatever, proving that either, well, maybe they don't update their clocks, or it was a stock photo of the president.
00:23:55.000They bring him in a room and they say, we're gonna get a bunch of different photos of you doing different things to use in different moments.
00:23:59.000I bet the dude has no idea what's going on in Ohio.
00:24:26.000And Obama did the same thing with Bush, and I'm, you know, no fan of Bush, but it was seven years into his presidency and he was like, oh, well, Bush, right?
00:24:36.000And that seems to be what Biden is doing.
00:24:37.000Anytime he can just say, oh, if it's wrong, it's Trump's fault.
00:24:40.000It has nothing to do with what I've done.
00:24:42.000You just go back and look at the previous administration.
00:24:45.000I expect that out of an administration if they're going to actually Do that in conjunction with taking action to help relieve the situation on the ground.
00:24:55.000If there's going to be like, I'm not a fan of government anyways, but if there's going to be a government that's that's if there's going to be an EPA, if there's going to be, you know, a FEMA and stuff, why aren't they helping in the places that in the US that need their help?
00:25:09.000Well, and the rail system is the federal government's responsibility.
00:25:12.000And when you're talking about the chemicals and stuff, this is the EPA.
00:25:16.000I was told that Biden's been offering federal help to the governors, but they haven't been requesting it.
00:25:23.000He actually says in his tweet, as I said to your governors, they'll have every resource that they need, indicating that they Like, they're available for you, governors, if you need it.
00:26:37.000And then it turns out, absolutely, that's not the case.
00:26:39.000It took JD Vance going over there to do it, to show people.
00:26:42.000But again we were fed a narrative or when we were fed a narrative it turned out to be completely false.
00:26:47.000I posted I retweeted the early image of like the river the Ohio River and then all the potentially affected states through the water table and I just tweeted the image I said I don't know, there's nothing verifying if this is real or
00:26:59.000Get water filters, get air filters, don't wait for official confirmation to take care of yourself.
00:27:04.000And I got a Twitter the next day, a warning said, this is unverified. And someone's like,
00:27:08.000Ian, you got a war. I was like, I'm fine with it. I know I didn't verify this.
00:27:11.000Just take care of yourself. But then the next day they removed the warning. So like, I don't know.
00:27:16.000Yeah, it was a big thing where the New York Times claimed the far-right conspiracy theorists were saying the water table was being threatened, and I'm like, the governor of Ohio said that.
00:27:35.000It's all about the power of the first impression, right?
00:27:37.000They put out these narratives hoping that, okay, the people that read the New York Times or the people that read the Washington Post They see that at the beginning, and they never look at it again.
00:27:46.000And anytime they see a story about it after that, they go, oh, that's just crazy right-wing conspiracy theorists.
00:27:53.000And so it's the power of that first impression that they're trying to marshal there.
00:28:58.000And as much as the Clinton aide being tied by the neck to a tree and found shot to death with no gun, being ruled a suicide, well this is not immediately going to impact your life, but it is very, very interesting.
00:29:10.000An individual who worked for the Clintons Uh, in the 90s, was found tied to a tree, shot in the chest, no gun, and they went, looks like a suicide to me.
00:29:19.000So, uh, I guess he held the gun to his chest and when he pulled the trigger, it, the recoil blasted off into the air where it landed on a small log in the river and then floated downstream and eventually over a waterfall where it's just gone.
00:29:58.000So if even if you have a pistol and you're doing that kind of extension cord tying his neck to a tree with a gunshot wound to the chest that's what it says guns what I wonder what kind of gunshot oh they could you could you imagine like if this if if this was a suicide and he strapped balloons to his gun for for Well, okay, come on.
00:30:26.000How could someone- so he goes up against a tree, and he throws the extension cord around it, and then catches it on the other side, and then ties it, and spins it around, so that way he's tied by the neck, then he takes We don't know what kind of gun.
00:30:40.000Hold it to his chest and when he pulls the trigger, at this point, several things may have occurred.
00:30:44.000The gun recoil launched into the air, where I mentioned it lands on a log
00:30:48.000and then floats away downstream, never to be seen again.
00:30:50.000Or maybe a bear came and like cocaine bear, saw the gun and thought to himself,
00:33:04.000But the sad part about this is that this is going to put an end to any real questioning about this.
00:33:10.000You know, you may have people like us talking about it, but as in terms of official investigation, this is done because nobody else has jurisdiction.
00:33:18.000Anything about the Clintons is done before it gets started.
00:33:56.000Yeah, I mean, twice in the back of the head or something like that.
00:33:59.000There was uh, who was the guy who was the journalist who was investigating the CIA or whatever like the crack stuff and then he got shot twice in the head and they ruled it a suicide.
00:34:11.000Like there's just so many of these stories and then I was mentioned I've been watching Yellowstone.
00:34:16.000And so this isn't really a spoiler, because this is like first season, first episode stuff, but they kill a lot of people in that show, and they just kick them off a mountain, and it's like, ain't nobody gonna find these people.
00:35:33.000Yeah, those are illicit drugs, not illicit drugs.
00:35:36.00020% of the economy is medical, meaning like when you go to a doctor to get your legs set, you know, or get, you know, ibuprofen for your bad headaches.
00:36:05.000There's always dark money, and it comes from all sources.
00:36:11.000But when you get into situations like this, just like Tim was saying, it could not be Clinton-related.
00:36:18.000Look, this guy worked for the Clintons 30 some odd years ago.
00:36:22.000They're bringing up he was a Clinton-ade because of the conspiracy theory.
00:36:26.000And that's what I've said about the conspiracy theory.
00:36:28.000The Clintons are high-profile people who've worked in multiple agencies and in government.
00:36:32.000Of course they're going to have connections to a lot of people.
00:36:34.000Now, the question is, take someone of comparable public stature and then calculate how many deaths and suicides have existed around them in their periphery.
00:36:46.000I think what happens is, yeah, the Clintons are shady people, but it's just like, I've seen stories where it's like a security guard who worked for a financial firm that Clinton once used was found dead, and I'm like, okay, well, hold on there, buddy.
00:36:57.000We're getting a bit Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon on this one.
00:37:00.000Did they work with them or with their organizations?
00:37:03.000If there's a lot of that, that's weird.
00:37:05.000But they're just bringing up a guy who died recently and being like, he worked for the Clintons 30 years ago.
00:37:09.000And it's like, you're telling me that he still works for the Clintons or something?
00:37:11.000Well, and this is just compounded by the whole Epstein connection.
00:37:14.000I mean, they're still trying to claim that he, you know, killed himself.
00:37:37.000Yeah, he Paraville, Arkansas, May 2nd, 2022.
00:37:41.000Almost one year after his death, a police report obtained by the outlet revealed that the Little Rock businessman was discovered with a gunshot wound to the chest and extension cord tying his neck to a tree.
00:37:50.000The extension cord was tied to a tree limb above him.
00:37:54.000So did he, like, throw it over and then, like, slipknot it, pull it tight around his neck, and then lean back and then shoot himself?
00:38:02.000Could this be autoerotic asphyxiation gone wrong?
00:38:05.000I mean, you know, like, I mean, it just it just seems so very strange.
00:38:09.000Maybe the real story is that, like, it was autoerotic asphyxiation, but then, like, a loved one was like, I can't let it be known that he died this way, so they shoot him when he was already dead.
00:39:14.000Destroying the universe. Yeah, I think it's destroying our political system. I think I think that
00:39:18.000Everything is about getting clicks and and you have this giant push for okay, how many clean this is right and left?
00:39:25.000That's what gets so fresh. I live in a red state. Okay, and and
00:39:29.000Politicians or just journalists will automatically put out the most sensational headline that they can
00:39:35.000and the the body of the story is nothing to do with what the headline has to do and
00:39:41.000And this is in red states, you know, and it gets very frustrating for people who, like myself, are just trying to find the truth about what's actually happening in your community, because all this stuff becomes smoke and mirrors.
00:39:53.000And I think that the Republicans, taking kind of the woke The woke cue from things from 2019, 2020, when everything just got out of hand, have said, well, we're just going to jump on the bad wagon.
00:40:06.000You know, conservative media sometimes does that.
00:40:08.000And I think it's not doing us any favors.
00:40:11.000It's not doing us any favors to actually find out the truth of what's going on.
00:40:13.000It's kind of like if a weapon was given to your opponent, the opposing army, but what the weapon does is hurt everyone a little bit.
00:40:20.000And they use it and they use it and you're like, well that thing is destroying us, we
00:40:46.000These are your local elected officials.
00:40:48.000But they're participating as much as anybody on the national level, sometimes more.
00:40:52.000This association and not trusting and not knowing your local politicians I think is something that that people in cities are familiar with and used to whereas people in small towns it's easier to access your your local politicians if there's only 5,000 10,000 people in your town as opposed to if you're you know in a New York City or in Cleveland or or whatever you know like people in we're talking about East Palestine there's only 5,000 of them they can they can access the Politicians and let them know that they're upset really easy they can but it's a that's a double-edged sword because sometimes you get local politicians who are friends with everybody sure and right and they will just say what everything that kind of on the on the blanket of that trust on the foundation of that trust and oftentimes you'll see if you really investigate it and
00:41:41.000That what they're saying is not necessary and I'm not talking about anybody specifically I'm just saying I've seen this over and over again where they use this hometown spirit Okay, if you're running in this district got 10,000 people in your district, you know all their names You know all the families and you go out and you say, you know Well, this is what this bill does and you actually read the bill And it does the complete opposite?
00:42:02.000And so I would just encourage anybody, from my experience, read your bills, your local bills, because they're the ones that, the local laws that are passed on your behalf from your local politicians, because those are the ones that directly affect you.
00:42:14.000Make sure they're doing what it is they say they're doing.
00:42:16.000I've been thinking about sensationalizing the titles of our show, like this show, because like, what if the name of the show is just number 713?
00:42:43.000But you come to Tim Cass to find out, because I think this show has done a great job.
00:42:47.000I started watching around 2020, you know, and you're a left-leaning person, I was more right-leaning, right?
00:42:52.000And I appreciated the fact that I could see what you were talking about, and then I could see your mind change, you know, on different things.
00:43:00.000That it opened up, you were opening up people's eyes while you were opening up people's eyes about things.
00:43:06.000And I think that that's the benefit of having that kind of, if you want to call it sensationalism, you know, on a show like this.
00:43:12.000It's because you hit people from all sides here.
00:43:34.000Or, I shouldn't say a guy, but people.
00:43:35.000So it's just the name of the person, and that's what you go for.
00:43:39.000So the new show that we're doing, you know, Fridays, Culture War with Tim Pool, youtube.com slash timcast, is probably just gonna be titled Culture War Number One, Ollie London, Culture War Number Two, Guest, Guest, Guest to Come.
00:43:52.000Because those are just conversations and hangouts.
00:43:54.000I guess, do you stress about being too sensationalist when you make internet video titles?
00:44:02.000Clearly the most successful channels on YouTube have no qualms whatsoever about saying the craziest garbled nonsense.
00:44:08.000You know, one thing Mr. Beast does really well is his titles will be outlandishly awesome, but then in the first 10 seconds he'll back up the title, he'll let you know you are about to see what the title says.
00:44:20.000So you know, like, your expectations are met right away.
00:44:24.000Apparently that's a huge part of... As with many things, there are people who naturally are sensational, and they have no idea what they're doing and why it works, but they get a lot of traffic.
00:44:34.000Then there are people who consciously try to figure out how to create better titles and headlines to attract more people, and they get called scummy for being manipulative.
00:44:43.000It's like, well, should we just leave it to those who are accidentally manipulating people, or should people make headlines that are attractive?
00:45:05.000Clickbait refers to omitting information from a title in order to get people to click it so that they can figure out what's going on.
00:45:13.000Ragebait is a reference to intentionally overhyping something to shock people, make them angry, so they click it and then watch.
00:45:20.000And then of course, clickbait could also refer to if Joe Biden trips going up the stairs, titling the video, Joe Biden has horrific fall, nearly dies, and then it's a video of him stumbling and going.
00:45:42.000From the post-millennial, Arizona rancher charged with murder of Mexican man was, quote, hunting migrants with AK-47, prosecutors.
00:45:49.000Prosecutors allege that Kelly hunted the group of men with his gun and made numerous alterations to his story when later spoke to law enforcement.
00:46:51.000Vivek Ramaswamy just announced for president, and he talks about the difference between immigration and illegal immigration, or people coming across the border illegally.
00:47:02.000I think that's the crux of the matter here.
00:47:04.000He's crossed the border illegally, and then he's crossed into somebody's property illegally, right?
00:47:09.000And this guy's defending his property, He has a right to do that as opposed to somebody who goes through INS and goes through the process to get the green card and does all of that.
00:47:17.000And I think that underscores what we were just talking about, about the need to be precise in our language, right?
00:47:24.000And that's why I kind of like Vivek and him coming out and running for president now, you know, but it is to be precise in our language and understand what is happening here is why you see so much confusion about situations like this, you know, and then the media just seems to play into that.
00:47:41.000This guy says that he just fired warning shots and there's no evidence that his bullets hit the guy, which to me sounds like he might be telling a lie, that maybe he did go out there to shoot the trespassers, but now he's afraid that if he says it out loud he'll go to jail for sure, so he changed his story, but when you change your story then you look like a liar.
00:48:00.000That's kind of what I'm looking at the path of this situation at the moment.
00:48:04.000I think the Biden administration and Democrats want more illegal immigration for a variety of
00:48:08.000reasons. One, so they can increase the population in their states. They're bringing these people in,
00:48:13.000putting them on planes and flying them to swing states and blue states. And they also want the
00:48:18.000short-term economic demand. Bringing in a whole bunch of people and putting them in cities will
00:48:22.000create temporary short-term demand, followed by stagnation and economic crisis.
00:48:27.000But that short-term gain looks good for them on paper, they can use it to get re-elected.
00:48:31.000The long-term gain is bringing in a bunch of people who will increase the census numbers, giving them more electoral college votes and congressional seats.
00:48:38.000So, when a guy who lives there says, hey, get off my property, they're coming right for me, they go, this guy needs to be made, we need to make an example of him, so that people don't screw with our agenda.
00:48:48.000You take a look, was it McAllen, Texas?
00:48:50.000Where, under the bridge, they had all those people?
00:48:53.000The Biden administration clearly is happy with what's going on.
00:48:56.000People talk about the southern border and Biden letting us down or failing or whatever, and it's like, no, no, he's doing exactly what he intended to do the whole time.
00:49:13.000They did nothing during the Obama administration This has been the Democrats plan for the better part of the past 20 years to have a cheap Labor be imported into the country that that's it's it's completely clear that I can't take anyone that argues against that seriously.
00:49:36.000It's been going on for 250 years, dude.
00:49:38.000The southern states imported cheap labor through the African slave trade and wanted to use those numbers to pat their stats.
00:49:44.000No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, They wanted to use those numbers to inflate their stats.
00:49:56.000You can say truthfully that bringing slaves in was quote-unquote cheap labor, but migrants coming here is not the same as slavery.
00:50:08.000Migrants are coming here of their own volition.
00:50:11.000They're walking like they want to do it.
00:50:14.000There weren't a lot of people that were in Africa that were like, you know, I'm going to go to America and be a slave.
00:50:18.000They weren't running out and jumping on the slave ship.
00:50:23.000As soon as Biden got elected, or it looked like he was going to be elected and become president, you had a mass migration from Central America all the way up through because They knew that they were going to be allowed to come through.
00:50:35.000And before that, you had remained in Mexico.
00:50:37.000They had shirts that said, please let us in Biden or whatever.
00:51:55.000The federal government has, whether or not you agree with open borders or not, currently the federal government is the organization charged with protecting the borders and enforcing border law.
00:52:08.000And they are completely and totally neglecting to do that.
00:52:11.000Well, and I think you're seeing good signs come out of places like Texas where you have Governor Abbott, you know, saying, if you're not going to do it, we're going to do it, you know, and we're going to send the National Guard or send, you know, the Texas Marshals down there to help enforce.
00:52:23.000But when you when you don't have a barrier, Right?
00:52:27.000I mean, when you don't have something to keep them out in places that, because you can't put eyes on every inch of the border all the time.
00:52:45.000It's been working for a long, long time.
00:52:47.000Sanctuary states basically means they're not part of the union.
00:52:51.000When California says we will not abide by union law, it's like, well then why are you in any way tied to this union if you're not agreeing to the interposition?
00:53:11.000That's the idea of interposition, where a state's supposed to step in and say, we supersede your federal law, which is technically the way the country works.
00:54:31.000I've heard about people from Syria and from Turkey already getting there because of the earthquake.
00:54:39.000So, as long as that border is open, there's going to be people from all over the world coming to South America and then making the trek up through Mexico.
00:54:52.000The Remain in Mexico policy, or Remain in Whatever the safest country that you can get to, that's the correct policy.
00:55:01.000If you want to apply for asylum, that's it.
00:55:32.000There's no like, is there a census, or is there a citizen block and you can either say yes, no, or I don't have to fill it out?
00:55:39.000Well, if you don't put that you're a citizen, then your census count should be worth three-fifths of a person.
00:55:45.000Or nothing, and Donald Trump tried getting that on the census, and they sued, and the Supreme Court said you can't do that.
00:55:50.000They wanted to prevent him from forcing people to acknowledge that they weren't citizens.
00:55:54.000I'm just saying you don't have to acknowledge if you are or you're not, but if you don't acknowledge that you are, then your census should count for less.
00:55:58.000He wanted to put the question on the census, and they blocked him saying you can't.
00:56:14.000I don't personally feel like that, but that's, I think, the... It's a ridiculous argument that it's like, well, if someone is committing serious felonies, we shouldn't force them to tell us.
00:56:39.000The issue, however, is if you are not a citizen of this country and you are here illegally or your visa... Well, but then you have a right to not self-incriminate.
00:56:47.000You could plead the fifth, so to speak, right?
00:56:51.000Right, so you get the census with the question on it and you don't fill it out.
00:56:54.000But the idea that you can't put the question on the census is insane.
00:56:58.000And the argument from the left was, well then people who are not citizens won't fill it out and we'll get inaccurate readings.
00:57:03.000And it's like, so the people who are here illegally, we won't give federal funding to the people who aren't here illegally?
00:57:24.000This is why I feel like the country is on the verge of blowing up, collapsing, whatever you want to call it.
00:57:28.000Texas has to abide by the votes of California when it comes to the federal government.
00:57:33.000But California is breaking the federal rules to strengthen itself.
00:57:38.000So imagine You got a roommate, and your roommate is taking your stuff and selling it, and then using that money to pay your rent or whatever, and you're like, yo, you can't do this.
00:58:07.000I know that the national divorce question is huge right now.
00:58:10.000The thing that gives me pause about this, and I understand your question, because it seems like it makes it impossible to work with each other, but I just want to remind everybody of what the woke mantra was in 2020, right?
01:00:23.000So the idea now is sit back and let California cheat and break the law and abuse people and let Democrats do it nationwide and riot and burn down buildings or say no and get a national divorce.
01:00:38.000I think that we have, there's, I think that a national divorce is a little too extreme.
01:00:43.000And I think that I've, I made an argument on Twitter that at this point I think convention of states is the, is the only legal means to get, to have, to have a divorce.
01:01:19.000You can actually amend the Constitution.
01:01:22.000It's not going to be easy, but it's a whole lot easier than living without electricity because we had a civil war and the infrastructure is destroyed.
01:01:29.000Calling a convention does not get you the requisite votes for changing the Constitution.
01:01:33.000It simply brings people to a room who then argue again.
01:01:37.000You can make amendments to the Constitution, which then have to be voted on and ratified by the states, but independent of D.C.
01:01:46.000And then we don't have enough states to even call a convention.
01:01:49.000And if we did, I would say half of the red states are going to go, slow down there, Democrats, and then do nothing.
01:01:55.000You're not wrong, but the... So what we have right now is we're in an abusive relationship where we're being pummeled and beaten in the face, and people are going, but if you leave him, you'll be homeless.
01:02:06.000And I'm like, I'd rather sleep under a bridge.
01:02:44.000I think it is an argument, because if you're playing into what the plan is, Because it'll be worse after you don't have the protection of the Constitution, albeit it may be weakened at this point.
01:02:56.000It's like saying, my significant other is mercilessly beating me, demanding I leave the house, but if I do leave, I'll be giving them exactly what they want.
01:03:03.000It's like, or you leave, and then you stop getting beaten, and then you'll be responsible for yourself.
01:03:07.000So I'm not saying a national divorce is the guaranteed, absolute way to solve these problems.
01:03:11.000I'm just saying the argument that we should sit here, take the abuse, and then cross our fingers is also not an answer.
01:03:16.000Well, but you also have, you can fight back through the legal means to stop these things, and you have more, you have more tools to be able to do that within, within the system that we have, within the constitutional system that we have.
01:03:39.000These cult members are hell-bent on imposing everything about their psychosis on the rest of the country, and the other side, which is independent, conservative, post-liberal, or whatever, are saying, please leave me alone.
01:03:52.000But please leave me alone doesn't stop abusers from trying to destroy you and harm your children.
01:03:58.000And so, we're at a point now where we've got Marjorie Taylor Greene and other people like Michael Malice and Luke Rutkowski, among many others, saying, maybe a peaceful divorce, a national divorce.
01:04:09.000And now you have many conservatives coming out saying, no, that's a bad idea because then we lose this, we lose that, we lose this, and I'm like...
01:04:15.000Actually, I think the cities will collapse in two seconds without the rural areas that prop them up.
01:04:21.000These people seem to think that national divorce means state borders.
01:04:25.000No, no, no, that's not what it means at all.
01:04:26.000It likely would mean if you look at the secession movement in Oregon, in Eastern Oregon, it
01:04:30.000would strip the rural farmland from the cities that are oppressing them.
01:04:34.000And the people in Eastern Oregon are trying to secede first and foremost just from Portland,
01:04:38.000basically, so that they can join Idaho and be working with a community that more agrees
01:04:47.000And Portland says, F you no, because the people who live in Eastern Portland are poorer, but
01:04:51.000produce the food and the resources the city needs to survive.
01:04:54.000You cut that off, the city ceases to exist in two seconds.
01:04:57.000So if there was a national divorce, I'd imagine Los Angeles, New York, Portland, Chicago, etc.
01:05:01.000would crumble and people would panic and it would be sheer chaos as they went to farms and desperately begged you for food.
01:05:07.000Now California as a state produces a ton of food, but the parts that produce the food are all conservative.
01:05:13.000So what would happen if there was a national divorce?
01:05:15.000Would the people in California be like, guess we're stuck with California, or would they be like, the borders are dissolving, we're with them?
01:05:21.000But you also have to remember that the people producing the food make their money and their living by selling the food to the cities.
01:05:26.000So if they're not selling the food to the cities to the people who eat it, then they're not making money either.
01:05:31.000So it's within their, it's in their best interest to keep that lane open.
01:05:35.000I know it's leverage, I get it, but it's also, it's leverage on both ends because there's supply and demand.
01:05:42.000Why is it that the cities have leverage over the people, the workers?
01:05:47.000Why is it that the guy who works at BuzzFeed and writes articles about Brad Pitt's junk is getting four times the income of a dude who works the field picking crops?
01:06:05.000And if there was some kind of, we don't got to call it a national divorce, some kind of restructuring and an assertion of the leverage and the authority of those who actually make this country work, then you would see cities collapse overnight or desperately.
01:06:19.000And that's where language is really important here, because I think that you can do that within the system that we have.
01:06:23.000is that if the red states and their governors and their legislatures were to actually put
01:06:29.000And trust me, I live in the reddest state in America and I get very frustrated with
01:06:33.000exactly what it is that you're describing here, which is like, oh, you know, oh, well
01:06:36.000let's do the 2030 plan and, you know, make a bunch of money off of whatever when they
01:06:41.000should be standing up to these other states and, you know, filing a lawsuit like Texas
01:06:47.000did against Pennsylvania with the mail-in voting.
01:06:50.000And hopefully we could have a Supreme Court that would actually take up a case like that because it was really important.
01:06:54.000You're playing a game of Monopoly with people who are cheating and they keep going, well, I'll just keep trying and eventually I'll win.
01:07:01.000And the people who are cheating, they definitively believe they are justified in doing what they do because they're morally right.
01:07:07.000So what we need is, okay, before national divorce, we need a real alignment of the leverage.
01:07:14.000The one simple thing is that the producers in this country, of which they're growing increasingly less, to just outright say no to those cities.
01:07:23.000Sorry, we no longer drive our trucks and deliver to you.
01:07:27.000Because you're destroying this country.
01:07:29.000See, the problem is most people, and the reason we're in this mess, is because most people will tell you, I agree with you, but I will do nothing to bring risk to myself.
01:07:38.000Matt Strickland comes on this show and talks about how his restaurant was being targeted by ABC, by the government, they seized all his booze, they shut him down, and he refused to back down any one.
01:07:47.000Then he gets phone calls from people saying, what you did was amazing, we support you.
01:07:51.000And he said, do the same thing, brother.
01:07:52.000And they go, oh no, I would never do that.
01:07:54.000I will only stand back and hide in the shadows as you assume all the risks for yourself, tell you to keep doing it while I watch you get steamrolled by the government, and then do nothing to support you.
01:08:03.000Because, well, you know, life's not that bad.
01:08:11.000And I have too, where it's... My Twitter account, people were terrified to touch me because of my Twitter.
01:08:16.000They still are terrified to touch me because of my Twitter.
01:08:17.000No, I think I've experienced that, and we probably all have at a certain point, where it's nobody will come to your aid, even if they know you're right, because they just don't want to be...
01:08:58.000These people live in the state of fear over a boogeyman that doesn't exist.
01:09:01.000And they're scared to speak up because You know what?
01:09:04.000Maybe the reason YouTube allows a show like this is that us talking about wokeness and the cult puts it in the minds of people to be afraid.
01:09:18.000It's frustrating that we get to the point where Marjorie Taylor Greene says national divorce, and there are people who are still just like, no, no, no, slow down there, Democrats.
01:09:26.000And I'm like, dude, If we're at the point where we know for a fact that California is bringing in non-citizens to fluff their numbers and give themselves more federal power, that is a very serious act of corruption that is destroying the union.
01:09:41.000And Texas knows it, and Oklahoma knows it, and Nebraska knows it.
01:09:45.000All of these red states know it, and they do nothing.
01:09:47.000They let California cheat, and then just do nothing.
01:10:19.000Imagine if you lived in a state And a parent said that they were going to bring a child across state lines to kill them for medical assistance in death.
01:10:43.000I mean, imagine if you took a kid across state lines The federal government agrees with what this woman is doing to this kid, and they won't do anything about it.
01:10:55.000Okay, you could say that we can't have a national divorce, but as far as I'm concerned, when you're at the point where Colorado says no limit abortions, and Oklahoma says no abortions at all, and California says sex change for kids, and Texas says no, but the federal government is siding with one side that's breaking the law, there is no government.
01:11:45.000Mitch McConnell sits down and goes, well, slow down there, Democrats!
01:11:49.000And people keep voting for him, and they keep voting for McCarthy, and we get the same thing over and over again.
01:11:53.000There's an economic reason for that, because you have, like, states like Oklahoma, on the whole, do not have the money and the income that California does, right?
01:12:02.000I mean, they're starting to get it now.
01:12:04.000Google's starting to inject itself into red states, which I'm just like, guys, hey, Don't be careful what you wish for here, you know, but they don't have the large businesses, you know, in Montana that they do in California.
01:12:18.000And so they're, in many ways, dependent upon that 21st century income that they see the world going towards.
01:12:26.000And so they feel like it's a little bit, they've got them over the barrel.
01:12:30.000California, if it was a country, it would be the fifth largest economy in the world alone, just the state.
01:12:36.000It apparently pulled in $3.63 trillion in 2022 gross state product, the largest in the United States, the largest economy of any state in the United States.
01:12:47.000So it's kind of like asking a kid to stop eating the breast milk of its mother.
01:13:23.000This idea that the right is unwilling to boycott or unwilling to say no, they're unwilling to forego their luxuries, then lose, by all means, then lose.
01:13:31.000If you would prefer to have peaceful slavery, by all means, don't let me stand in your way.
01:13:36.000However, if you would like to assess the situation and realize that with freedom comes risk and responsibility, well, then the choice is yours.
01:13:47.000If you want to go out and... So for us, for instance, we decided we want to get away from the cities and we come to West Virginia.
01:13:54.000And there are risks that come with leaving a city.
01:13:57.000We can't get internet in the new place we're at.
01:14:25.000You know, I'd rather give the middle finger and say, I'm not going to support your machine.
01:14:29.000Now, don't get me wrong, there are varying degrees to which we have to coexist and be strategic.
01:14:35.000I'm not saying it is simply put that we all just Stop watching Disney.
01:14:39.000My position on this has always been, I don't expect the average person to just boycott Disney outright and not watch anything from Disney ever again.
01:14:45.000Because that's unreasonable to the average person.
01:14:47.000But we have to build the cultural infrastructure to shift them away from it and make things that make them say, I'd rather watch this instead.
01:15:00.000Support shows like this, which has a bit of nuance in it, and is, in my opinion, relatively anti-woke.
01:15:05.000It's got some good woke moments that I think are fine, but it's mostly like, there's a scene where there's an environmentalist, and she's insulting the family, and a character says, I don't know a lot about this environmental stuff, but I'll tell you this, you don't change anyone's mind by insulting them and their family in their own home.
01:15:21.000And I'm like, hear, hear, I like that stuff.
01:15:23.000Well, that's kind of like what I was saying earlier, is that we are now just labeling people so much.
01:15:27.000If there's a woke moment in a show, the show is woke, right?
01:15:30.000If there's an un-woke moment in a show, the show is un-woke, right?
01:15:33.000And then that just bifurcates us into this point where it's like, okay, everybody says that we want to, you know, have a parallel economy.
01:15:41.000Where you have places to go, and that's the free market, right?
01:15:44.000But when we start pejorativizing or demonizing these shows, like, because I love that show, right?
01:15:50.000I hate the woke parts of it, and I just point that out to people.
01:15:52.000I use that to say, look, hey, this is what's actually, I believe, is wrong about this, and I use that as a teaching moment, and then enjoy the rest of the show, right?
01:16:00.000And it seems that we're unwilling to do that because there is market influence that says, well, I'm going to create the un-woke version of the show, you know?
01:17:20.000Creating a parallel economy can prevent the need for some kind of national divorce if, as a culture, we shift back into the things we value.
01:17:28.000But having a parallel economy, if you don't have a unifying spirit or a unifying message that connects you as a country, will actually, I think, spur a national divorce.
01:19:06.000I think Trump did a great thing here, but I know we're kind of off that No, I think when people say left, right, red, blue, that that is the division that is the path to destruction.
01:19:18.000He was like, let's talk about the rightists.
01:19:20.000He created a group of society that was on the right.
01:19:24.000And that was the best way to divide people.
01:19:26.000So I don't like thinking of terms of like, you've got to be in a camp, because as soon as you think that way, you're building a reality that way.
01:19:33.000Everything in our market forces right now is pushing us towards that direction.
01:19:47.000Do you guys really think that it is left versus right?
01:19:51.000Or do you feel like the left is really consolidated and it's the left versus everyone that doesn't line up with the left?
01:19:58.000It's like a technocratic versus everyone else.
01:20:00.000It's a uniparty situation because you have a lot of Republicans out there that pretend to be Republicans when it's convenient for them, and everything they're doing under the radar is right aligned with what the left wants.
01:20:10.000Whether you're talking about the 2030 environmental plan that Biden has and the Democrats have had for a long time, you see red state Republicans buying into this on a regular basis while they go out and say, well, you know, we banned abortion, so, you know, that's good, but We're leading the state down the same thing, the same situation that made California, California today.
01:20:32.000And that's really frustrating in a red state.
01:20:49.000But I think that sometimes I wonder if my own Our peer group has been brainwashed in the last seven years to think in terms of division, and that just acknowledging the division is the division.
01:21:37.000There's a video of a man with an earpiece and he's grabbing people and throwing them into the building and a woman's yelling at him saying, why are you pulling us in here?
01:22:14.000The country is split between the cult and everybody else.
01:22:16.000And everybody else includes traditional liberals, who consider themselves disaffected, libertarians, conservatives, and even anti-war leftists who are economically left but don't adhere to the established cult.
01:22:27.000So how do we unify that group of people?
01:22:29.000To avoid the need for a national divorce.
01:22:31.000Because if you want to call it the silent majority or just people that don't think they have anything in common.
01:22:36.000The silent majority are the Biden voters.
01:22:39.000Trump supporters think they're the silent majority but they're not.
01:22:42.000They're the active, paying attention people.
01:22:47.000They're silent because they don't care, they don't want to be involved.
01:22:53.000Bill Maher video that he put out recently where he likened the woke to Maoists and the cultural revolution in China and acknowledged that there is a cultural revolution going on here.
01:23:09.000I think that that is the kind of Impactful video from the kind of person that can actually make the average normie Realize what's going on because your average person?
01:23:23.000I think your average person still thinks that communism is bad Generally, they don't I don't I think that but they don't know what communism is when they hear socialism they think Medicare for all when they hear communism they think you know Mao Zedong and Stalin I think that's generally the way that that people react and I think that if people can if you can make get people to make the connection between woke
01:23:51.000But kids at colleges screaming in their professors' faces with the Red Guard screaming in the faces of the Chinese professors.
01:24:01.000If you can make that connection, that will do significant damage to the woke agenda or whatever If you've not listened to James Lindsay on this subject, you need to go do it.
01:24:16.000He has been talking about Mal in the Cultural Revolution for three or four years.
01:24:20.000and Michael O'Fallon over at Sovereign Nations have been talking about this for a long time,
01:24:25.000and I'm glad that Bill Maher finally picked it up, but it's going to take more people like that to
01:24:29.000highlight the exact same process that happened in China in the 60s and the 70s is happening now.
01:24:37.000And if we can show them the evergreen, like with Brett Weinstein, the evergreen video,
01:24:42.000that opened up my eyes. I'm like, holy crap. So we need more Bill Mahers who actually have
01:24:49.000some of the ears and the eyes of the left to bring on James Lindsay, to bring on these people that
01:24:54.000really know the subject and can show it to us.
01:24:56.000This is why I have been harping on building culture more than anything else.
01:25:01.000And it's very, very difficult, but that's the path forward.
01:25:04.000When I had these industry guys in skateboarding tell me, oh, you better watch out.
01:25:08.000If you do skateboarding, bad things are going to happen.
01:25:13.000that if we enter cultural spaces we will be physically harmed so that we don't.
01:25:17.000Because when we do, uh oh, all of a sudden young people are looking up to us and they're like,
01:25:23.000hey that's really cool, I want to do that too. So the biggest threat to the woke machine is all of
01:25:29.000us and everyone listening making culture. Performing shows.
01:25:33.000Go to a venue, write a song called FJB, and then sing the song on stage at a venue, and just be bold with it and be like, that's how I think, it is what it is.
01:25:43.000Write a whole record called Victim of the New Disease about communism!
01:25:48.000Because I've been involved in the arts my whole life, music teacher, all of that.
01:25:52.000The organized music education in this country has been completely taken over.
01:25:57.000And what people don't understand is that music is the most effective form of propaganda that you can have.
01:26:03.000And I use this loosely, but you have people that sing in church together for a reason.
01:26:07.000Because when you're all singing for the same message, they've actually done, they've attested this, your heartbeat starts to beat at the same time.
01:26:15.000Literally, because you're singing in the same rhythm, with the same sounds, with the same people.
01:26:19.000I think it's one of the main reasons they wanted to shut down churches during COVID.
01:26:23.000Because, you know, where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am also.
01:26:28.000But the arts in this society have been completely taken over.
01:26:32.000And when you're talking about the American Choral Directors Association, or the American Band Directors Association, that their whole job is to knit together teachers from
01:26:41.000across the country in public and private schools alike, and now they're unifying behind this woke
01:26:46.000message, behind this Maoist version of the way that they want society to be, and it's very
01:26:53.000So I would encourage Republicans, if you're listening at all, or conservatives, libertarians, classical liberals, let's get involved in organized arts in the school level.
01:27:03.000I think it could be very effective in helping us turn back the woke monster that we're seeing prevailing over our country.
01:27:10.000I also want to acknowledge the danger of cults in general, like within my own ranks, within the people.
01:27:16.000Like right now, I identify with a lot of people that consider themselves Christians, that go to Christian church in some way.
01:27:44.000And they would give over their last, not to their local church that could help them, but they would hand it over to Kenneth Copeland or Joel Osteen or whomever and say, well, I've done my part and the Lord's going to give me a new car.
01:27:58.000They died with absolutely nothing at a young age, because they were putting their faith into something that was just a mile wide and an inch deep.
01:28:30.000It's tax-free because it's a religion.
01:28:32.000Joel can take their money and he doesn't have to pay taxes on it.
01:28:34.000It's complete... I mean, what an abuse of... And they walk into his church expecting to get something of depth.
01:28:41.000And what they get is a nice, you know, frou-frou, oh, I feel good as I leave, kind of television church show.
01:28:47.000And they get nothing of depth from the Christian faith in that.
01:28:51.000And it has done... I think it's done as much as anything the left has done.
01:28:56.000To put people down the disaffected road with Christian values, with some of the values that our country was founded on that actually helped keep us strong.
01:29:07.000I have nothing good to say about the Osteens.
01:29:09.000Yeah, that brings a lot of people from, if you want to call it the left, to the right.
01:29:13.000The reason is when people are willing to acknowledge the flaws in their own faith, that the business that has erupted around their faith, that's like people that aren't even involved are like, wow, maybe this person is actually cogent.
01:29:25.000I think there's a simple distinction between Christianity, for instance, and wokeism, in terms of ideology.
01:29:45.000It's the belief that there is something greater than me, and so it's not about me.
01:29:50.000And then there's the woke side, where it's, I'm owed and I deserve.
01:29:53.000Well, again, go listen to James Lisney, what he's talking about Gnosticism, right?
01:29:58.000It's a hermetic, it grabs a hold of a faith, whether it's Christianity, Islam, it doesn't matter what it is and it infests it to a certain extent and turns it, the doctrines and everything, towards what its political motive is.
01:30:11.000It wears your ideology like a skin suit.
01:30:15.000And so, go listen to James Lindsay and what he's talking about Gnosticism, because what you're describing there is exactly what he's talking about.
01:30:38.000It animates our bodies, so we are part of it.
01:30:40.000But when you start looking at yourself as somebody who can be on the plane as God, then you have nothing beyond yourself to search for.
01:30:47.000And therefore, the only thing that matters is what you care about in the moment.
01:30:52.000And that's what James has been talking about a lot, is that if you see yourself as a version of God or as on equal par with God, Then you're automatically just going to completely divorce yourself from anything natural in the world.
01:31:07.000You're going to say, well, if I feel like a girl, I am a girl, right?
01:31:10.000And if my son says he feels like a girl, then he is a girl and I'm going to make him into one.
01:31:31.000If you can't maintain both thoughts at the same time, you're doomed to chaos.
01:31:35.000You've got to understand that you're part of it.
01:31:36.000But the minute you start thinking of yourself as God in any form, Then you've lost the plot, I think, because there's a God and then there's you.
01:31:45.000If he's sitting here, are you telling me he's lost the plot?
01:31:47.000Well, Jesus Christ, I believe, was a different situation, right?
01:31:52.000I mean, he was divinely inspired, he was here for a purpose, and then he left, right?
01:31:57.000He died on the cross for our sins, and then he rose again, and then he said, this is the faith that you need to be saved in the afterlife and beyond.
01:32:06.000But he didn't say, hey, and you can be Just like me, you're the only begotten son of God, too.
01:32:12.000No, he said, you are one with me, but you are not me, right?
01:32:18.000You're never going to be perfect, right?
01:32:19.000But striving for perfection is what makes life worth living.
01:32:23.000Making the mistakes and then repenting and then doing better the next time is what makes life worth living.
01:32:28.000But just seeing that no matter what I do is right because I'm God, that's a completely different thing.
01:32:35.000We're gonna go to Super Chats, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com, become a member, because once we wrap up this show around 10 p.m., we will kick off the live, uncensored, members-only portion of the show.
01:32:50.000After that show wraps, the live, just the recording remains on the website to be watched at your leisure at any time, and will be part of a massive library of existing content.
01:33:01.000The only difference between what we used to do and what we're doing now is that you can watch as we record.
01:33:06.000So before we would record it, then upload it.
01:33:08.000Now we'll just live stream it, and then it's boom, there forever for you to watch.
01:38:13.000Well, I was listening to the Daily Wire morning cast on the UFO situation, and they were saying that they had an explanation for all of these supposed UFOs that the Pentagon was, you know, calling UFOs at the point.
01:38:25.000You know, one was from like a bottle cap company, like where they were just putting up a balloon or something like that, but they had an explanation, and none of them had to do with, you know, aliens or anything like that.
01:38:35.000But they were, sure enough, very cryptic in the moment.
01:38:39.000While all this stuff in East Palestine was going on to make you think oh, it could have been a UFO We got all the bogus emojis in the chat.
01:39:15.000I think the stem cells might be working.
01:39:16.000I think the hormones in the fluid probably helped.
01:39:18.000One of the reasons for the weight loss may have been the anemia.
01:39:21.000So, you know, we don't know how much longer he'll have, even if his treatment is working, but the stem cells may be what give him a few more years.
01:41:04.000Brado Jacko says, open borders cannot work with a welfare state, election corruption, and zero social cohesion with no understanding of American civics or the Constitution.
01:42:34.000Where you have, it starts in the universities where you have this, in Oklahoma they have what's at OU they have what's called the strategic research verticals.
01:42:43.000where you have the university with a plan to build public-private partnerships
01:42:52.000beyond the walls of the university to create or to push an agenda
01:42:57.000that really lines up almost point by point with the WEF.
01:43:37.000Chris Rufo covered this before he started covering CRT about how there was kind of a flag that they threw up saying, Hey, look, Homeless people come here, right?
01:43:46.000What they did in San Francisco, what they did in LA.
01:43:49.000We're gonna build you low-cost housing.
01:43:51.000Almost nobody lives in that low-cost housing.
01:45:20.000When they shut the churches down and the courts, I think it was a court in New York, said, hey, you can't do that, they went, okay, I'll just issue a new executive order doing the exact same thing and then you'll have to sue me for that too.
01:45:29.000Phil is hanging out with Mr. Bocas over there.
01:45:57.000We had a politician on and I was asking about national, or not national divorce, but convention of states, because I keep thinking like that's a solution.
01:46:09.000It needs to be... Now, I don't know the details.
01:46:12.000You can follow at COSproject on Twitter, and they have all the deets about the progress of the effort for a convention.
01:46:22.000It has to be limited in scope, and the delegates from the several states have to abide by that.
01:46:30.000So if something is brought up that is outside of the scope agreed upon, everyone has to get up and leave.
01:46:37.000or something to that effect. There are ways to put guardrails on it.
01:46:42.000I'm not the expert that can tell you the details about it, but yes, it is definitely,
01:46:48.000I mean, it's an extreme measure. We have, you know, even to amend the Constitution is actually
01:46:54.000fairly extreme because the amendment process is intentionally rigorous.
01:46:59.000It's not supposed to be easy to do these things because we have states that have the capacity and they're empowered to pass laws for the several states.
01:47:11.000Each state can make basically whatever law they want.
01:47:15.000To make an amendment to the Constitution is supposed to be a big deal.
01:47:19.000The fact that people say, oh, you know, we should just do this or just do that, the federal government should do that.
01:47:24.000All this stuff is outside of the federal government's initial charter.
01:47:27.000The things that the federal government is empowered to do are listed in the Constitution.
01:47:33.000The things that the federal government is specifically prevented from doing are listed in the Bill of Rights.
01:47:39.000And then any changes are in the amendments that follow the Bill of Rights.
01:47:45.000They're supposed to be hard because of the way that our government is supposed to protect the individual rights.
01:47:52.000But the administrative state has taken advantage of that.
01:48:15.000You should not be able to work in a three-letter unconstitutional apparatus for that long because you will amass power just by being there for that long.
01:48:26.000I think that's the direction we should go.
01:48:30.000I had not heard that, but that is, to me, seems like a far better idea than the idea that you get rid of politicians every, you know... Well, I think you should get rid of them both.
01:48:39.000I mean, I think you should have term limits across the board, but you shouldn't be allowed to camp in the CIA, the FBI, the IRS for all of these years and amass power and push your political agenda under the radar.
01:48:51.000There should be an apparatus where the president, I mean, the president can't even fire a lot of these people, which is ridiculous.
01:50:40.000I always thought it was funny that in Dragon Ball Z, the brown-eyed, black-haired dude, when he became super powerful, super, he turned blonde and he got blue eyes.
01:50:55.000When Sonic went Super Sonic, he would turn gold, and it's like, okay, gold, I guess, but, like, Goku in Dragon Ball Z is like, I'm gonna become really powerful!
01:51:02.000And then his hair turns blonde and his eyes turn blue.
01:51:26.000And the funny thing is, anime in Japan is like, man, I can't remember what neighborhood I was in, but they have like big billboards and art of Goku and Lupin the Third and other characters that have been around since the 70s or 80s.
01:51:38.000To them, their cartoon characters are like movie stars, almost.
01:51:41.000But I guess it's also kind of like Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck.
01:51:44.000The crazy thing, though, is in America, our famous cartoon characters are, you know, like, what is Mickey Mouse famous for doing?
01:51:50.000Like, driving a steamboat or something?
01:51:53.000And then Donald Duck complains about a lot of stuff, I guess.
01:51:56.000Their cartoon characters are famous for, you know, like, flying, like, saving planets and, you know, doing martial arts.
01:52:03.000Or, like, I guess Lupin the Third was a thief.
01:52:33.000You go in the store, and then they have, like, a variety of objects and towels, and you go into a room, and it's, like, the weirdest thing I've ever seen, but it's, like, a normal thing in Japan.
01:59:05.000War is a win-win for the government, especially modern war.
01:59:08.000The University of Oklahoma's explicitly, in its strategic research vertical, says that aerospace and defense, and specifically having to do with weather, I don't know exactly how that works, but it's invested deeply, heavily, and this is a public, state-funded university.
01:59:23.000Or like controlling the weather to destroy your opponent?
01:59:26.000Or, you know, individual carbon footprint trackers, right?
01:59:31.000Well, yeah, because then they can tax your carbon.
01:59:33.000They can prevent you from doing things in the real world because you've used up your carbon.
01:59:39.000You've used up your allotment for carbon.
01:59:41.000And it could be, whether it be Everyone gets a large amount or more than likely everyone's going to get a very, very small amount.
01:59:49.000And if you have a social credit system that's going to be connected to your carbon usage and they can basically have a digital gulag where they keep you locked in your home or locked in your 15 minute city and you're not allowed to go anywhere.
02:00:05.000You're allowed to, but you can't get anywhere.
02:00:07.000Or you can't charge your electric car.
02:00:09.000Yeah, because you can't have enough carbon.
02:00:13.000And what'll end up happening is that people will figure out ways to sell carbon credits, and there'll be a black market for carbon.
02:00:21.000I guarantee that, because big companies are going to have carbon credits that people will figure out ways to siphon off.
02:00:27.000There'll be a whole new economy selling carbon to people that have lots of money, and it'll still be rich people doing whatever the F they want, while the middle class gets decimated, there'll be fewer in the middle class, and the poor are going to be stuck in the pod.
02:00:45.000Clef the Misfit says, Akira Toriyama has said the reason Goku and others in Dragon Ball Z are blonde as Super Saiyans is because he got sick of coloring in their hair.
02:01:11.000That means once the live is done, it will exist on the website in the archive forever.
