Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Trump Calls For DEATH PENALTY For Drug Dealers w-Matthew Whitaker

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:41.000 you so Donald Trump just said that drug dealers should be put

00:01:06.000 to death and And I guess the question is, what degree is he talking about?

00:01:12.000 Because he mentions these other countries and he says China doesn't have a drug problem.

00:01:15.000 And I'm like, is he talking about, you know, drug cartels that are murdering people and dealing in this really hard stuff?

00:01:22.000 Or is he talking about like Singapore level?

00:01:25.000 If you're found with like a poppy seed on you, they lock you up.

00:01:28.000 Maybe not that extreme, obviously, but interesting nonetheless, because immediately everyone's kind of like, dude, a lot of Trump's supporters are fairly libertarian, so it's interesting to see.

00:01:39.000 But I think what's more interesting about the conversation is what rhetoric Trump will embrace as we move into the midterms, and whether or not he'll announce before or after.

00:01:47.000 So we got that story.

00:01:48.000 Plus, the Washington Post says that Trump's actions are being investigated, and it's such a vague, weaselly headline.

00:01:54.000 Are they investigating Trump or not?

00:01:55.000 Come on.

00:01:56.000 Come out.

00:01:56.000 Tell us if Trump is being investigated.

00:01:58.000 There is a criminal investigation and Trump's actions are involved, which sounds to me like they're saying, okay, it's not going to be Trump.

00:02:04.000 And then we got another funny story.

00:02:05.000 Democrats are boycotting Hulu because Hulu won't let them run the political ads they want to.

00:02:11.000 Aww.

00:02:12.000 Did you get what you wished for when you didn't want political ads on these platforms or when you wanted censorship because now you can't run your ads?

00:02:18.000 Yeah, keep crying about it.

00:02:19.000 My friends, before we get started, head over to TimCast.com.

00:03:01.000 Hello.

00:03:02.000 How are you?

00:03:03.000 This is amazing.

00:03:04.000 Thanks for coming, man.

00:03:05.000 Former Attorney General.

00:03:07.000 I was looking for a way to tank my career.

00:03:08.000 I think I found it.

00:03:11.000 Your career has now taken off.

00:03:14.000 This is what happens when you lose a bet with Cash.

00:03:17.000 Is that what happened?

00:03:18.000 Yeah.

00:03:18.000 Cash and I are friends.

00:03:19.000 We were playing some golf and he said, whoever makes this putt, if you miss it, you've got to go on TimCast.

00:03:25.000 So here I am.

00:03:26.000 I'll take it.

00:03:27.000 I'm glad to be here.

00:03:28.000 Thank you for having me.

00:03:28.000 Do you want to give a brief introduction for yourself, your work?

00:03:30.000 Hello, I'm Matt Whitaker, former Acting Attorney General of the United States.

00:03:35.000 And as my friend Simon Conway on WHO in Des Moines, Iowa, which is the radio station that Ronald Reagan was on in Des Moines, always says, former Hawkeye legend, because I played football at the University of Iowa, and all-around good guy.

00:03:50.000 There you go.

00:03:51.000 You played the guitar earlier, too.

00:03:52.000 You were jamming.

00:03:52.000 Yeah, I'm not very good.

00:03:53.000 I mean, I have a guitar.

00:03:55.000 I have guitars.

00:03:56.000 It's really kind of sad.

00:03:57.000 And every probably six months, I determine, like, this is going to be the time when I pick it back up and get back into it.

00:04:06.000 And then I realize, like, you know, it's hard work like anything else.

00:04:10.000 I'm really interested to hear about the inner workings and your work as acting attorney general.

00:04:15.000 So thanks for coming, man.

00:04:16.000 It's been a blast.

00:04:17.000 We've also got Mary Morgan. 1.00

00:04:19.000 Happy to be back.

00:04:20.000 I know you're all happy to see me.

00:04:22.000 Hello.

00:04:23.000 It's me, Mary, from Pop Culture Crisis on YouTube.

00:04:27.000 I urge you to go subscribe.

00:04:28.000 I'm here to dutifully shill for the show today.

00:04:31.000 We talk about entertainment news, movies, celebrities.

00:04:35.000 Go join us.

00:04:37.000 Hi everyone, Ian Crossland here as well.

00:04:39.000 Good to see you from iancrossland.net.

00:04:41.000 Good to meet you, Matt.

00:04:42.000 Good to meet you.

00:04:43.000 I'm tremendously envious of your hair.

00:04:47.000 Oh, thanks, man.

00:04:47.000 And I don't say that very often, but I mean, if I had had hair like that or did have hair like that, I would be more likely in a heavy metal band than a former acting attorney general.

00:04:57.000 So life takes different turns based on the skills and abilities you're given.

00:05:01.000 Speak the truth, brother.

00:05:02.000 Let's get down to it.

00:05:04.000 That's right.

00:05:05.000 I'm delighted to have Matt this evening.

00:05:06.000 Really excited to hear about what he went through in the White House and I can't wait to get into it.

00:05:10.000 Let's go.

00:05:11.000 So here's the first story we got from Newsweek. 0.59

00:05:13.000 Trump urges death penalty for drug dealers.

00:05:16.000 Quote, China has no drug problem. 0.95

00:05:18.000 Oh my.

00:05:19.000 They said Trump made the remarks in a speech he delivered in Las Vegas, Nevada Friday during a rally for his endorsed candidates in the state's gubernatorial and Senate races.

00:05:27.000 The speech was marked by two recurring themes for Trump, a demand for law and order, as well as an admiration for heavy-handed governance.

00:05:34.000 He said, quote, if you look at countries all throughout the world, The only ones that don't have a drug problem are those that institute the death penalty for drug dealers.

00:05:42.000 They're the only ones.

00:05:43.000 You understand that?

00:05:44.000 China has no drug problem.

00:05:46.000 During a speech, Trump recalled asking Chinese President Xi Jinping if his country had a drug problem.

00:05:50.000 Quote, I innocently and perhaps naively asked if there was much of a drug problem in China.

00:05:55.000 Why would you ask?

00:05:56.000 He didn't say this, but I'm saying what he was thinking. 0.99

00:05:59.000 Why would you have such a dumb question as that? 0.99

00:06:01.000 No, no, no, we don't have a drug problem. 1.00

00:06:03.000 Why would we have a drug problem?

00:06:04.000 There is no problem.

00:06:04.000 Drug dealers get the death penalty.

00:06:06.000 The trial goes very quickly.

00:06:08.000 So instead of coming to China, they go someplace else. 0.96

00:06:11.000 We've had big drug problems over the centuries, but we don't have a drug problem at all.

00:06:15.000 Now they don't deal in China, the former president said.

00:06:18.000 So Matt, you were actually there.

00:06:20.000 So he gave a similar remarks just today at the America First Agenda Conference put on by America First Policy Institute, which I run and co-chair of their Center for Law and Justice.

00:06:37.000 And yes, he said this actually while he was president as well.

00:06:40.000 This is a theme that I've heard from Donald Trump many times.

00:06:45.000 And, you know, I think his sentiment is spot on.

00:06:52.000 If you look at the opioid, you know, fentanyl drug overdose crisis in our country, we're losing over 100,000 people a year now in our country to overdoses.

00:07:04.000 In fact, you know, more people die of, it's the number one killer for 18 to 45.

00:07:14.000 But these are prescribed, aren't they?

00:07:16.000 Not fentanyl.

00:07:17.000 Not fentanyl?

00:07:18.000 No, no.

00:07:19.000 So the prescription opioids are a much smaller segment now.

00:07:22.000 What's actually happening is people are, my understanding, and again I'm not a drug user,

00:07:27.000 My understanding, and again, I'm not a drug user, not a drug dealer, have never used an illegal drug.

00:07:30.000 not a drug dealer, have never used an illegal drug.

00:07:34.000 And so my understanding and talking to the experts and talking to people is that you build up a tolerance

00:07:35.000 And so my understanding in talking to the experts and talking to people is that you

00:07:40.000 build up a tolerance to opioids, and fentanyl is an opioid, it's a synthetic opioid.

00:07:41.000 to opioids and fentanyls and opioids, the synthetic opioid.

00:07:44.000 And so if you either don't take it, it's laced in something else you take, or if you take

00:07:44.000 And so if you don't, if you either don't take it, it's laced in something else you take,

00:07:49.000 or if you take too much of it, then it can just pretty much wipe you out.

00:07:53.000 Now, this is not, we also thought about, at the Department of Justice,

00:07:58.000 we reinstituted the death penalty, because it had been a moratorium

00:08:04.000 since the Bush administration on the death penalty.

00:08:06.000 And one of the things we thought about was using fentanyl as the lethal agent in order to demonstrate

00:08:14.000 kind of the lethality.

00:08:16.000 Is that a word?

00:08:17.000 Yes.

00:08:18.000 I'm sure people watching are going to get an inner comment to tell me if it is or isn't, but only you can see that.

00:08:27.000 But to demonstrate just how potent fentanyl can be.

00:08:31.000 So what does it do?

00:08:33.000 When you overdose on fentanyl, you just kind of pass out?

00:08:34.000 Is that what happens?

00:08:36.000 Yeah, essentially it, my understanding is it takes your, you know, your vitals down to zero.

00:08:41.000 I mean, you just kind of like, it depresses your, you know, your heart and your lungs and you stop breathing and you, you know, essentially smoke.

00:08:49.000 Sounds, I mean, in terms of the death penalty, that sounds humane at the very least.

00:08:53.000 Yeah, and it's pretty much what we're doing with another cocktail of drugs.

00:08:58.000 I'll give you an example.

00:08:59.000 I mean, I know you don't want to do a show about the death penalty, and so I want to keep this... It should be lighter, because I'm usually a fun person.

00:09:06.000 It's so dark!

00:09:08.000 It's really dark, and I'm not a dark person.

00:09:10.000 I'm an optimist.

00:09:12.000 In the state of Iowa, my home state, I was the U.S.

00:09:15.000 Attorney in the Southern District of Iowa.

00:09:17.000 There's a Northern District, which obviously if you have a Southern District, that implies a Northern District.

00:09:21.000 But in the Northern District of Iowa, we had had a drug dealer who executed a family of five, including the mom, dad, and the kids.

00:09:32.000 And so he was sentenced rightfully to the death penalty.

00:09:35.000 and then had been sitting in prison for over 20 years because there was this de facto moratorium.

00:09:44.000 Even though Congress had said, and the president signed a law saying

00:09:47.000 there is a death penalty in the federal system for certain things, they weren't doing it.

00:09:52.000 And the Biden administration is now not doing it either.

00:09:55.000 But this gentleman from Iowa was put to death under the federal system in the Trump administration.

00:10:04.000 And it was, um, I knew a prosecutor who had done that case and had been around for 20 years waiting to see that.

00:10:10.000 And he actually called me that day and thanked me and thanked the administration for, you know, finally giving that family that was still alive, you know, justice.

00:10:20.000 But so going to Trump's comments, and just to clarify, the article that I had sourced, because we had a couple of them, and I made this mistake, was that Trump said this more than once.

00:10:30.000 He said it a couple weeks ago, and he said it again.

00:10:31.000 We have a story here from three hours ago.

00:10:33.000 Trump calls for a quick death penalty for drug dealers.

00:10:35.000 This one is actually, the headline is more overt. 0.95

00:10:38.000 And so in his first speech back in Washington since he left the presidency, he called for a quick death.

00:10:43.000 I don't know, that feels a little heavy-handed, right?

00:10:46.000 A drug dealer, like, to what degree are we talking about?

00:10:48.000 Yeah, well, I mean, I'm not going to try to morally justify certain levels of drug dealing and compare and contrast that to others.

00:10:56.000 If you know anything about drug dealing, it's always a pyramid scheme, right?

00:11:00.000 You have the street level drug dealers that are, you know, usually the ones that are Taken out and then you have different levels and oftentimes

00:11:08.000 in my experience about two steps two hops get you to a Mexican drug cartel

00:11:13.000 And so if you're talking about kingpins, we already have kingpin statutes

00:11:17.000 They don't call for the death penalty my understanding and again, I don't I'm not the Trump whisperer

00:11:22.000 I've spent a lot of time with him. I heard his remarks today

00:11:24.000 My belief is that he really?

00:11:28.000 wants to target the head of the snake the kingpins the ones that are getting rich and

00:11:34.000 You know kind of the Pablo Escobar types Not the street level hustler

00:11:40.000 um...

00:11:42.000 Not that they're not any less morally responsible for this scourge of, you know, of illicit drugs in our system.

00:11:50.000 You know, we need to have a bigger conversation also.

00:11:53.000 Congress has been completely unavailable and uninvolved in the regulation of drugs.

00:12:02.000 The states have taken it on and mostly deregulated marijuana, for example.

00:12:10.000 Again, this isn't the topic that we're talking about, but I have a lot of strong feelings on this.

00:12:15.000 And, you know, the federal government needs to do one of two things.

00:12:21.000 Either join the states, or most of the states, and have Congress pass a law that reclassifies marijuana, or start enforcing the law.

00:12:30.000 What we can't have is these laws that aren't enforced.

00:12:34.000 Because what we need in the rule of law for it to work is certainty for citizens.

00:12:41.000 I think it should be, I think pot should be legal, but I think you get bigger challenges when you get into harder stuff, fentanyl especially as it's getting laced into all these drugs.

00:12:49.000 And then, you know, to be honest, I oppose the death penalty because, you know, the best example I can give to people is Kamala Harris deciding who gets to die doesn't sound good to me at all.

00:13:01.000 I understand that there are really bad people like the guy you mentioned, right?

00:13:04.000 So Tim, let me just, the way the death penalty works is the jury, the peers, the 12 people that decide whether the person's guilty or not, decide the penalty phase and whether or not they have the death penalty.

00:13:18.000 So to seek the death penalty, that's about the only thing that actually the Attorney General of the United States can do and only can do.

00:13:24.000 Everything else has been Can or has been delegated in the Department of Justice.

00:13:27.000 But the one thing that the Attorney General has to do is determine whether or not to seek the death penalty, you know, in these cases.

00:13:35.000 And we did.

00:13:36.000 We spent a lot of time.

00:13:37.000 I mean, that is the most difficult decision that an Attorney General, I think, has to make is whether or not to seek the death penalty.

00:13:49.000 And, you know, you get these recommendations from the U.S.

00:13:51.000 Attorney's Office all over the country.

00:13:53.000 Some are, you know, less likely to pursue the death penalty.

00:13:57.000 Some are more likely to pursue the death penalty.

00:13:59.000 But it's just that the cases are just the worst of the worst.

00:14:03.000 I mean, you know, it's, it's, it's, you're just like, Oh my God.

00:14:05.000 I mean, this can't, you know, this fact pattern is the worst I've ever seen.

00:14:09.000 Then you read the next one.

00:14:10.000 It's like, Oh my goodness.

00:14:11.000 And this is even more horrible.

00:14:13.000 The challenge is, Look, you know, you hear a story, you read the details about it, and you're like, this person, you know, can't be rehabilitated.

00:14:22.000 They're truly the worst. 0.98

00:14:23.000 It's a violent sociopath.

00:14:24.000 But proven beyond a reasonable doubt, I don't know if I trust the state to get it right.

00:14:29.000 And then the issue is, you know, to quote Benjamin Franklin, it's better than a hundred guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.

00:14:34.000 The idea to me that the state would say, look, we believe these facts to be true to the best of our abilities and you might have good people who are like, this guy did brutal things to a family and we can't have this remain.

00:14:46.000 That I totally get.

00:14:47.000 And saying, you know, so we're going to, this person has forfeit their life by taking the lives of others.

00:14:52.000 The issue, I guess, is just that there's a percentage of people who are innocent who are going to be killed by the state.

00:14:58.000 And I don't know, man, I'm not gonna pretend to have the answers, but I can just tell you, I just don't like the idea.

00:15:03.000 Yeah.

00:15:03.000 I mean, obviously the system has built in tremendous safeguards, at least in the federal system.

00:15:10.000 Like, you know, there's some states and throughout American history, I think, you know, that the safeguards weren't there, but as you know, and I'm talking about, you know, my experience is in federal court.

00:15:19.000 And in federal law, and as it relates to the death penalty, the federal death penalty, and there are a lot of safeguards built in.

00:15:27.000 But I do share that it would, obviously, we'd rather have 100 people have life in prison than have one person get the death penalty and be executed that was innocent.

00:15:41.000 Yeah.

00:15:42.000 It's a tough area, but I know this, we're not... Yes, Mary?

00:15:45.000 Is the purpose of the death penalty then to seek retribution for victims and enact justice?

00:15:56.000 Or is it simply by necessity to remove this person from society and any chance that they could escape prison?

00:16:04.000 Because at this point we're releasing so many criminals, I'm not sure where I stand on it.

00:16:10.000 Yeah, I mean there's a lot of reasons we have criminal prosecution and criminal punishment.

00:16:15.000 Retribution is one reason.

00:16:17.000 Punishment is another reason.

00:16:19.000 Excluding the death penalty.

00:16:21.000 Rehabilitation is another reason that we have criminal penalties.

00:16:27.000 You know, so I've spent I'm not in the legislature.

00:16:30.000 I was never in the legislature.

00:16:31.000 And so, you know, my kind of I haven't done the balancing test on on on this as to, you know, sort of where.

00:16:38.000 But Congress has passed a law that says there is a certain category of crimes that is that is eligible for the death penalty.

00:16:44.000 And here's the process.

00:16:46.000 And so, you know, as a prosecutor and as the former acting Attorney General, we executed the laws.

00:16:53.000 I didn't have to decide, and I don't think it's appropriate actually, and that's why these moratoriums I think take, you know, the people through their representatives have passed this law.

00:17:03.000 You, your representatives, the people you voted for have passed this law, or have not repealed it, more importantly.

00:17:09.000 And so, let's put that on the ballot.

00:17:11.000 Let's make that an issue.

00:17:12.000 If the people don't want the death penalty anymore, Tim, to your point, let's vote for it.

00:17:18.000 I never understand, and this is what the left loves to do, is they love to have the executive branch under their leaders, like Joe Biden, decide that certain things aren't morally reprehensible, but they'll never take the vote because they know that mostly the American people are in a different place on it.

00:17:39.000 Republicans don't seem to do anything about it.

00:17:40.000 They had 2016 through 18 and they just let Russiagate happen.

00:17:46.000 They did.

00:17:47.000 I got there in October of 2017 and not a day went by that somehow the Russian collusion fable didn't affect the Department of Justice.

00:17:58.000 Because it was, if you remember, people, you want to forget because it was such a negative,

00:18:05.000 you know, just BS.

00:18:07.000 I know I can't say what I want to say, but it was such because ultimately every night It was just some new revelation some leaker had said, you know some FBI agent or sources or you know It's just it's just this constant drumbeat of stories that in retrospect were all fake news Yep and so you can totally and when you know Donald Trump says You know and points to the back of the room and says you guys are fake news I mean they are They are.

00:18:32.000 Let me pull up this story we got from the Washington Post.

00:18:34.000 This is a relatively nebulous, I suppose, Justice Department investigating Trump's actions

00:18:40.000 in January 6th criminal probe.

00:18:42.000 People familiar with the probes said investigators are examining the former president's conversations

00:18:46.000 and seized phone records of top aides.

00:18:49.000 What they don't say is, is Trump the target of this criminal probe?

00:18:52.000 No, the Washington Post just says, Trump's actions.

00:18:57.000 It doesn't even say they're investigating Trump himself.

00:19:00.000 They may be passively referring to, well, Trump said this one thing.

00:19:03.000 What does that have to do with it?

00:19:05.000 And I guarantee you right now there's a panel on MSNBC wringing their hands and John Dean's on there talking about his experience with Nixon. 0.97

00:19:13.000 It's a trail of morons, quite frankly, that then will jump on a story like that and immediately wildly speculate, not only as to that Trump is the target, they'll say, not knowing. 0.97

00:19:29.000 Well, so this is never ending. 1.00

00:19:32.000 I mean, Russiagate was a farce.

00:19:33.000 It was a hoax.

00:19:34.000 How come none of these people are being held to account?

00:19:37.000 infuriating. Well so this this is this is never ending. I mean Russia Gate was a farce. It was a

00:19:42.000 hoax. How come none of these people are being held to account? I mean high-ranking individuals

00:19:48.000 signing off on this stuff. You look you're you know you were uh I think you were in for about

00:19:53.000 how long were you in for about a year as acting AG? Uh four months. Four months? Much less. I

00:19:58.000 spanned to 2018 and 2019. So okay yeah looks better on my resume. Right that must be what I saw. Well

00:20:04.000 so I'm wondering in your in your experience then I mean you're you're there as AG. Why isn't why

00:20:10.000 isn't why hasn't anyone done anything about this?

00:20:12.000 I mean, do you think if Trump wins in 2024, maybe there will be some accountability for the lies?

00:20:18.000 I mean, I hope when you had Cash on here, he talked about his Durham watch and, you know, sort of what John Durham is or isn't doing.

00:20:26.000 You saw how difficult the Michael Sussman prosecution were.

00:20:30.000 It was very clear that he had lied to the FBI and a jury in the District of Columbia is never going to convict somebody in that situation.

00:20:42.000 That goes back to my death penalty comments. 0.93

00:20:44.000 You get someone who's a Trump supporter suspected of a very serious heinous crime, you put him in D.C., they're going to be like, kill him. 0.99

00:20:51.000 That's horrifying.

00:20:52.000 And that two-tier system of justice is something that I'm talking about a lot right now.

00:20:59.000 There's no doubt that the left gets away.

00:21:02.000 Think about the riots in 2020 and compare that to January 6th.

00:21:07.000 I'm sure that some smart lawyer could parse the difference, but it's really not.

00:21:14.000 It's political violence.

00:21:17.000 If those people outside the White House that burned the church right across the street

00:21:22.000 from the White House, if they had – they were trying to get into the White House.

00:21:26.000 They had to build – sort of night after night they kept trying to push the perimeter

00:21:31.000 out first of all and build higher fences to keep those folks – I mean, there were – police

00:21:36.000 officers were assaulted.

00:21:38.000 There was no doubt about that during those riots.

00:21:41.000 And so – and I don't – I mean, again, I'm going to make a bold statement here,

00:21:45.000 but certainly those folks that participated in that over the course of the summer in Washington,

00:21:51.000 and looted Georgetown and just, you know, did all sorts of things.

00:21:57.000 Nobody was prosecuted to the extent that the people that participated in January 6th.

00:22:01.000 And I'm saying both those should be treated the same.

00:22:04.000 Like, political violence is never acceptable.

00:22:06.000 But in this case, the American people see the different treatment of those folks.

00:22:10.000 I've talked to people.

00:22:11.000 They have no idea what 529 is.

00:22:13.000 I mean, I talk to people all the time and I say, you know, what are your thoughts on when the 529, you know, riots, when they set fire to a guard post, when they torched the church and tore the barricades down, the president was forced into a bunker.

00:22:23.000 They go, I didn't know that happened.

00:22:25.000 Well, there's the 529 Commission, I mean, right?

00:22:28.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:22:29.000 No, and that's my point.

00:22:32.000 Before the show, you mentioned that at some point it's just not worth it to get paid $170,000 a year to have your life destroyed by the establishment, by the Uniparty, by the Democrats.

00:22:42.000 And so I wonder if that's the reason why you don't get a 529 Commission, why Republicans seem to do very little, if anything, at all.

00:22:49.000 Yeah.

00:22:51.000 Well, I think, you know, in the next year, I expect that there will be a lot more.

00:22:58.000 I mean, I think the right is learning that we can't sit by and play, you know, patty cake while the left tries to destroy literally our entire society and people, you know, everybody's reputation.

00:23:11.000 I mean, I think there is just a final realization that We can't not fight.

00:23:18.000 We'd prefer to actually have a civil dialogue and have a discussion and have the marketplace of ideas that's supposed to work and convince people to vote for us and vote against them, but I think there's a realization now that the left is just in it to win it.

00:23:35.000 And not only to win it, but destroy everything in their path for the sake of power.

00:23:41.000 But there's, see, you know, when you're acting AG, I mean, they came after you pretty hard, I'd imagine, right?

00:23:47.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:23:48.000 Republicans don't do that to Democrats.

00:23:52.000 Look at Brett Kavanaugh.

00:23:53.000 I mean, the psychotic behavior. 0.62

00:23:57.000 They accused the man of lining up at frat parties to gang Assault women. 0.99

00:24:04.000 in these ridiculous stories that made no sense. 0.67

00:24:06.000 Wasn't he in some pirate ship going up and down the coast? 0.84

00:24:08.000 Wasn't there some story about that?

00:24:10.000 It was just like nonsense.

00:24:12.000 Someone literally fabricated a story about him on some boat doing something to a woman and then they were like

00:24:16.000 yeah we made the whole thing up.

00:24:18.000 Where are the Republicans accusing Democrats of doing anything?

00:24:20.000 They don't.

00:24:21.000 And then when you get people like James Lindsay, for instance, and he starts referring to people targeting children as groomers, Twitter bans the word.

00:24:29.000 And big tech comes in immediate defense of the left.

00:24:31.000 So there's no collateral damage for the Democrats and the left to engage in this behavior.

00:24:37.000 The right does not do anything to combat it.

00:24:40.000 And so you look at the Republican Party, I mean, half the time they're in agreements.

00:24:44.000 Or look at this.

00:24:44.000 We just had how many Republicans come out supporting gun control, which is wildly unpopular among the Republican voter base.

00:24:53.000 They don't care.

00:24:54.000 You know, I look at people like Shelley Moore Capito in West Virginia.

00:24:58.000 She's not up for re-election for another like five years. 0.99

00:25:00.000 So what does she care? 0.80

00:25:01.000 She's probably laughing all the way to the bank as she torches her constituents. 1.00

00:25:05.000 This is what we keep getting, so I mean, man is it brutal to watch.

00:25:08.000 Now you have the January 6th committee, on TV they're calling it a TV show, the season finale, they're lying about basically everything, and people are wrapped up in this cult, they believe this stuff.

00:25:20.000 And you know, there's so much we can talk about on the I mean, it's a one-sided show trial like you would see in a dictatorship.

00:25:34.000 Did we get outplayed in the chess match of who should have been on the committee?

00:25:39.000 If they wouldn't put Jim Jordan, should we have at least had some non-anti-Trumpers on this to at least bring a different narrative or a different thrust of the questioning?

00:25:52.000 Right now, it's the only thing the left has.

00:25:56.000 That's what's just fascinating to me.

00:25:58.000 I mean, if you look at the two things that the left has, is they have the Dobbs opinion, and essentially claiming, making falsehoods about what actually Dobbs is and stands for, which is the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and returning the issue to the people and to the states.

00:26:18.000 But then their other issue is January 6th and some false narrative about this mass conspiracy.

00:26:28.000 I don't know what they're trying to do.

00:26:29.000 They're just trying to destroy people and lead to mass chaos in its wake.

00:26:33.000 They use this manipulative technique where when something happens, we don't know at the time of a circumstance what is happening.

00:26:42.000 So 9-11, for example.

00:26:45.000 There's a lot of people who like to look at footage from 9-11 and then claim it's proof of a conspiracy, and it's like, hold on.

00:26:49.000 The reason you get conflicting reports in some of these circumstances is because at the time, everyone was confused as to what was really going on.

00:26:56.000 A guy who was in the financial district didn't know exactly what was happening on the Upper West Side, and so people were getting conflicting information across the board, and thus news reports come out and they conflict.

00:27:06.000 Now, whatever you want to believe on that stuff, I'm not getting into the nitty-gritty.

00:27:09.000 My point is, on January 6th, the people who were let into the building, many of them had no idea.

00:27:15.000 I'd say most of them probably had no idea there was fighting happening on the other side.

00:27:18.000 Cops opened up the barricades, fanned them in, doors were opened, cops fanned them in.

00:27:23.000 One guy was acquitted of all charges because of that.

00:27:25.000 That guy did not know that on the other side of the building, couldn't see it, people were beating cops and fighting and throwing things.

00:27:32.000 So what happens is, hindsight, the Democrats look at the most egregious moments, show everyone that footage, and then say, everybody in that building, that's them right there.

00:27:42.000 And people go, wow.

00:27:44.000 Well, and you know what they're also doing?

00:27:45.000 In addition to those 800 and some people that have been charged with all sorts of various crimes, including illegal entering of a secure facility, they then say all 1.5 million people that were in Washington, D.C.

00:27:58.000 that day are insurrectionists.

00:28:00.000 I mean, you know, people that weren't even close to the Capitol are, you know, are suddenly swept in.

00:28:04.000 And then they take the next logical step, which is all of you Trump supporters are the equivalent of the people that were, you know, assaulting police officers.

00:28:13.000 And that's just, we know that's not true.

00:28:15.000 But, you know, again, there's nobody on this committee to give a counter narrative or to explain exactly what you just said, which is it all depends on what part of the elephant you're examining.

00:28:27.000 Yeah, I think the fair point is, to be a little bit optimistic, is that the only thing they have is January 6th, and Americans don't care about it at all.

00:28:34.000 Yeah.

00:28:35.000 I mean, you look at gas prices, inflation, people care much, much more about that.

00:28:39.000 And the news coming out of there is Joe Biden's going to be selling off 20 million more barrels of our strategic petroleum reserve, gutting the system.

00:28:46.000 I think he's doing it, to be honest, because he wants Europe to be able to buy oil from us because Russia's cutting them off.

00:28:52.000 Or fuel, I should say.

00:28:53.000 Russia's cutting off their gas.

00:28:54.000 Yeah.

00:28:55.000 But if the left was, you know, really believed that they needed to help Europe, Joe Biden on day one would have said to Merkel, Angela Merkel at the time, you need to keep building those liquid natural gas terminals.

00:29:09.000 Did they shut down their nuclear power?

00:29:11.000 Yeah, they've done everything to increase their dependency on Russia.

00:29:16.000 And the fact that they didn't see this coming You know, is naive at the worst and intentional, you know, really as the truth.

00:29:25.000 It sounds intentional.

00:29:26.000 I think it sure looks like.

00:29:28.000 I can't, this is one of those things that, you know, I, so my experience as being a federal prosecutor, you know, sort of being a, you know, someone that's run for public office twice in Iowa.

00:29:40.000 And so my, it's just in Israel, but sort of the real politic of some of these global issues,

00:29:49.000 I apply reason and common sense, and it doesn't add up.

00:29:53.000 What Germany did over the last decade to end up in this situation with Russia, I don't

00:29:58.000 understand.

00:29:59.000 But maybe they just didn't believe that Russia and Putin was as evil as he is.

00:30:04.000 We had Zubi on the other day.

00:30:05.000 He said he thinks it's a controlled demolition.

00:30:08.000 That he sees what's happening and it's intentional.

00:30:10.000 And I said, you know, I'll give you an example.

00:30:11.000 They say there's going to be a food shortage because of the war with Russia.

00:30:14.000 Ukraine and Russia aren't exporting wheat anymore.

00:30:16.000 Russia's not exporting fertilizer.

00:30:18.000 Then the government of the Netherlands tells their farmers to stop farming.

00:30:21.000 The UK and Ireland tell their farmers to stop farming.

00:30:23.000 How does that make sense?

00:30:24.000 It doesn't.

00:30:25.000 Not at all.

00:30:26.000 I wonder if the real reason they're telling their farmers not to farm is because they want to reserve fuel for the war effort or in preparation for something like that.

00:30:35.000 We got a lot of people.

00:30:36.000 People eat a lot of food.

00:30:37.000 We got a major abundance of food.

00:30:39.000 So maybe the thinking is tell the farmers, oh, it's climate change.

00:30:42.000 You got to stop.

00:30:43.000 And then what that does is reduces the amount of consumption of fossil fuels of oil they use.

00:30:47.000 We could divert that into other areas.

00:30:48.000 Maybe.

00:30:49.000 I don't know.

00:30:50.000 But I'll tell you this.

00:30:50.000 It's all intentional.

00:30:52.000 That to me is an objective fact.

00:30:54.000 You can't tell people the food shortage is coming.

00:30:55.000 We're all going to starve to death.

00:30:56.000 Hey, stop farming.

00:30:57.000 Yeah.

00:30:58.000 So you remember Oh, I don't know, when?

00:31:03.000 20 years ago when there was no iPhone.

00:31:04.000 20 years ago where you couldn't... 2007?

00:31:06.000 50?

00:31:06.000 Yeah, I mean, so, so, I mean, maybe 10 years ago.

00:31:09.000 I don't know, I'm not a technologist, but I have an iPhone.

00:31:12.000 2005, 6 is when there was no iPhone.

00:31:15.000 Okay, so less than 20 years ago.

00:31:17.000 And this is the, this is what surprises me about human beings.

00:31:20.000 We're so innovative.

00:31:21.000 We're always trying to solve problems and to make life easier and to do all these things.

00:31:28.000 And yet, in iPhone, less than 20 years ago, we didn't have iPhones.

00:31:33.000 And think about what you can do with an iPhone.

00:31:34.000 I mean, it's just extraordinary, even though it tracks you and does all these insidious

00:31:39.000 things too.

00:31:40.000 But somehow, energy is different than an iPhone, that we won't evolve, that there won't be

00:31:45.000 new technologies, there won't be better ways to drive tractors and push cars around and

00:31:52.000 all the things we use fossil fuels for.

00:31:54.000 I just, I am, I believe in American innovation, and especially Americans, but human innovation.

00:32:01.000 And I think humans are not given enough credit to solve some of these problems.

00:32:07.000 Um, you know, whether you believe in climate change or not, um, you, you still, you know, should be, you know, we clean energy makes some sense just as if you want cleaner, cleaner air and clean water.

00:32:21.000 It's as clean as it's been in a long time.

00:32:23.000 Ben Shapiro makes this point.

00:32:24.000 He says, all of these charts talking about the future due to climate change don't take into account mitigation efforts.

00:32:29.000 Or innovation.

00:32:30.000 Or innovation. 0.99

00:32:31.000 The changes that come, like the famous story of, they said at the turn of the century, 1900s, New York was going to be covered in mounds of horse crap. 0.81

00:32:38.000 Because there's too many horses, too many people, what are we going to do? 0.65

00:32:41.000 And the car gets invented and now there's no horse crap.

00:32:42.000 Yeah, I think if you're the guy that had the buggy whip factory, I mean your life was good until all of a sudden it wasn't.

00:32:47.000 And I look at some of these, and that's why we need to make sure We're always fighting the last war, we're always trying to win the last election, and I think on some of this we're not really believing in the ability of human beings to solve these problems.

00:33:07.000 Because if we figure out a way, or if someone figures out a way to, for example, You know, burn hydrogen, and all of a sudden, you know, the output of that is water.

00:33:18.000 I mean, you know, that's, I mean, those technologies are coming on.

00:33:21.000 Well, it is.

00:33:21.000 I mean, cars already produce water from their exhaust.

00:33:24.000 Right.

00:33:24.000 And so, I don't know.

00:33:26.000 I just, I really think, you know, I look at the iPhone and the revolution of technology in my life.

00:33:32.000 I mean, I'm sure, I think nobody here except me probably had an answering machine.

00:33:37.000 Oh, I had one.

00:33:39.000 Yeah, we're old enough.

00:33:42.000 Mary no.

00:33:44.000 I remember in college, your home phone rang and you got home and you were excited because it said 2 or it was blinking and you pushed it and you listened to the calls that had come in since you had left.

00:34:00.000 I mean, it was just, it was just, and now, I mean, you can't, like, 24-7.

00:34:05.000 I want to ask you about your time as AG, though.

00:34:10.000 No, no, it's fine.

00:34:12.000 I mean, when you were there, I mean, I know you weren't there for a long time.

00:34:15.000 Did you see anything?

00:34:16.000 I mean, obviously, Russiagate was bunk.

00:34:18.000 Didn't you have the ability to look into it, to investigate?

00:34:21.000 Yeah, so I supervised the Mueller investigation, and I'll never forget, and I've talked about this before.

00:34:28.000 In fact, I wrote a book, Above the Law, if anybody wants to, it's available on Amazon.

00:34:35.000 And what I talk about, I don't think I mentioned a lot in this book, but I know I remember this like it was yesterday because it was so impactful, is, you know, there was a lot of controversy when I got appointed.

00:34:48.000 I had been on CNN as a commentator before I came to the Department of Justice and for like four months they hired me to, you know, sort of be the conservative commentator.

00:34:57.000 And, you know, one of the things I had said, which was very true, which is I could imagine that President Trump would appoint somebody new that would come in and had control of the budget of Mueller and would reduce the budget thereby limiting, you know, his ability and his scope.

00:35:15.000 Is that what you did?

00:35:15.000 And I'd said that just as a commentator, don't plan to do it, but then sort of everybody

00:35:20.000 lost their mind when I became the supervisor of the Mueller investigation.

00:35:24.000 It was like I almost looked prophetic, like I had planned this.

00:35:28.000 Literally just...

00:35:29.000 But is that what you did?

00:35:30.000 You reduced the budget or what?

00:35:31.000 No, I didn't do anything, but I had to go through an ethics review with the most senior

00:35:40.000 career DOJ official who.

00:35:44.000 Actually, because of the way it's written, it was my decision.

00:35:47.000 I could consult him, but it was my decision ultimately.

00:35:51.000 And I didn't ask him to write a recommendation.

00:35:53.000 Of course, he wrote a recommendation which says I should have recused because of these

00:35:57.000 things I said on CNN.

00:35:58.000 And I was just like, this is nonsense.

00:36:00.000 I was a U.S. attorney for five and a half years.

00:36:02.000 I know what it's like to be independent and look at facts and apply the law and make decisions.

00:36:10.000 My commentary as a paid CNN analyst is not going to affect how I do this job.

00:36:16.000 It wasn't even apples for apples.

00:36:17.000 But anyway, so fast forward, I clear that hurdle and I get right into the Mueller investigation.

00:36:26.000 And the first thing they say is, you know what, Matt, they have not found any evidence

00:36:32.000 of any connection.

00:36:34.000 There's no evidence of any connection between the Russian government and the Trump campaign.

00:36:37.000 Thank you.

00:36:39.000 And I thought to myself, well, why do we have this investigation?

00:36:43.000 And so then I, then I, you know, there were several other pieces and parts.

00:36:47.000 And, you know, one of the things that got read into, for example, was the, um, Roger Stone investigation.

00:36:52.000 You know, there were several other components of this investigation that, that I was also read into and, you know, given a status update on.

00:37:00.000 But, you know, at that point in time, you have a decision to make.

00:37:03.000 And, you know, I mean, life is all about, you know, sort of replaying, did you make the right decision?

00:37:10.000 Did you make the right decision?

00:37:11.000 But the decision, ultimately, and if you think about how the regulations played out, if I wanted to fire Bob Mueller or end his investigation, they had to be for cause.

00:37:22.000 And so that was a big hurdle.

00:37:25.000 And you also think about doing justice.

00:37:28.000 Is it better for Donald Trump to have a full report from Mueller saying there was no connection or have Matt Whitaker, acting Attorney General, shut it down because there's no connection?

00:37:38.000 Pointed by Trump.

00:37:39.000 Yeah.

00:37:44.000 The two things, you know, that in retrospect I now believe is that, you know, sort of the Mueller investigation was a total hit job by anti-Trumpers.

00:37:57.000 It is literally the January 6th Committee but inside the Department of Justice.

00:38:00.000 What about Ukraine as well?

00:38:02.000 Same thing?

00:38:04.000 That was just the train got rolling before they realized what the evidence was.

00:38:08.000 Nancy Pelosi hates Donald Trump and she had the power to get enough votes to file articles of impeachment and prove him out of the House. 1.00

00:38:18.000 Full stop.

00:38:18.000 I mean, that's why it happened.

00:38:21.000 And I'm sure if Nancy was here and was honest and not dealing with her husband's legal issues, I think she would say, I cannot believe You know, how tough Donald Trump is.

00:38:36.000 How, you know, how hard, how hard he fought, how good his defense was, and how, you know, he kept the Republican Party, you know, solid and, you know, supporting him through those, you know, those impeachment trials.

00:38:50.000 Half the Republican Party, maybe.

00:38:51.000 Yeah, I don't, I mean, you lost... I think they feigned support.

00:38:54.000 I think a lot of these guys, they feigned support.

00:38:56.000 I mean... Alright, name names.

00:38:58.000 Of, like, who feigned support?

00:38:59.000 Lindsey Graham.

00:39:00.000 He comes out on TV talking about how he's all in favor of Trump, but come on.

00:39:05.000 You see him walking down on the floor and he gives Kamala Harris a fist bump.

00:39:09.000 He's not really behind the president.

00:39:10.000 You look at, you have in 2016 and 2018, the Republicans, the Republican Party entertained

00:39:17.000 and allowed the Russiagate nonsense to persist.

00:39:20.000 Yeah.

00:39:21.000 They could have, I mean, you make a good point.

00:39:22.000 Although, I think Cash and Devin were trying to get to the bottom of it.

00:39:27.000 I completely agree.

00:39:30.000 I think the thing that we all forget was just how much smoke created by the FBI and by the left and the Clinton campaign, how much smoke there was.

00:39:42.000 You couldn't see through it.

00:39:44.000 Because you just every time you'd like run into something you'd be like oh that's I mean maybe you know I thought this was you just it was it was a shiny object in smoke and you just it was very hard to get to the bottom and you know there were a lot of people that didn't want to get to the bottom of it because they wanted that smoke there they wanted to hamstring Donald Trump and the question you know that I come back to Tim and I'm sorry I know this is your show so I don't want to dominate the time but That's what you're here for, man.

00:40:10.000 What is so dangerous about Donald Trump?

00:40:12.000 Why do people want to take him down so enthusiastically?

00:40:15.000 Well, I got some ideas.

00:40:17.000 It could be that back in 2009, I should say in 2012, it was reported that in 2009, the CIA had reported they wanted to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, the Assad family in Syria, because we were trying to build an oil pipeline, the Qatar-Turkey pipeline, up into Europe to offset the Russian Gazprom monopoly.

00:40:36.000 And, uh, Syria explicitly told the United States, we're going to support our ally, Russia, not allow you to build this.

00:40:41.000 In fact, we're going to get Iran to tap the same gas field, send it up through Iraq so we could basically steal the oil. 0.91

00:40:47.000 And then we can control oil prices into Europe, screwing with your allies.

00:40:50.000 And so then conveniently for the U.S., there was a civil war in Syria, the Arab Spring occurs. 0.74

00:40:55.000 And, uh, we'll just throw it to, we'll, we'll fast forward a little bit to Ukraine in which Gazprom controls a large portion, the largest, I believe, of natural gas flowing into Europe through there.

00:41:04.000 Now they have the Nord Stream pipeline is coming from Russia.

00:41:07.000 And all of a sudden you get this conflict in the Euromaidan movement where Ukraine wants to either join NATO, join the EU, join NATO, join the West, or side with Russia and their trade federation.

00:41:17.000 And that's all happening.

00:41:19.000 Then Donald Trump comes in and he says, we're getting our troops out of the Middle East.

00:41:23.000 Well, that's bad news if you dedicated 10, 15, 20 years to building this pipeline and getting oil to your allies in Europe.

00:41:29.000 But what does Donald Trump, he gets elected.

00:41:30.000 What does he do?

00:41:31.000 He gets elected.

00:41:32.000 And sure enough, The conflict in Ukraine dies down, simmers down.

00:41:36.000 ISIS is getting crushed.

00:41:37.000 Abraham Accords.

00:41:39.000 Well, that's big, bad news.

00:41:40.000 If you need the conflict to justify destroying the country of Syria to build an oil pipeline, our gas pipeline, the Qatar-Turkey pipeline.

00:41:47.000 And now, Joe Biden gets elected and it's right back on track, exactly where we thought we'd be.

00:41:51.000 Ukraine war lights back up.

00:41:53.000 We got Gazprom back in the news.

00:41:55.000 Germany feuding with Russia.

00:41:57.000 And you have Donald Trump who was telling them the entire time to become independent, stop relying on Russia.

00:42:01.000 Now, that's probably surface-level scratching why they may be mad.

00:42:04.000 It's very foreign policy heavy.

00:42:06.000 You could also look at domestic policy.

00:42:07.000 Donald Trump banning critical race theory contracting.

00:42:10.000 Companies that engage in critical race theory trainings couldn't contract to the United States.

00:42:14.000 All of these things just fly in the face of their agenda, and then you have the personal.

00:42:18.000 Oh boy, was Hillary Clinton mad. 0.93

00:42:20.000 It was her turn.

00:42:21.000 So, a lot of reasons why they really, really hate Donald Trump.

00:42:24.000 Yeah, but boy, I mean, I've never seen, I mean, in our history, we've never seen a president this persecuted.

00:42:31.000 Kennedy.

00:42:32.000 Although he wasn't persecuted in public, they just decided behind the scenes, I believe, that it was time.

00:42:38.000 I mean, I think that they whacked the guy.

00:42:39.000 I don't know for sure, but I mean, there's just so much evidence that it was coordinated by the mob, by whoever.

00:42:44.000 I don't know.

00:42:45.000 I know that Pew Research showed that Trump's press coverage was 5% positive.

00:42:51.000 5.

00:42:51.000 Obama's was 42, I believe.

00:42:55.000 So here's Obama.

00:42:56.000 The first thing he does, again, in office is he orders a drone strike blowing up a village of women and children.

00:43:01.000 He commits extrajudicial assassinations on American citizens, but the media can't stop, let's just say, patting him on the back for a family-friendly way to describe it.

00:43:10.000 Plus, we're in the 80s.

00:43:11.000 Donald Trump comes in, and the one thing they give him is when he fires missiles into Syria.

00:43:15.000 They're like, this is it.

00:43:16.000 And I'm like, there it is.

00:43:18.000 When he fires missiles on an airport in Syria, all of a sudden the media is like, Donald Trump's presidential moment.

00:43:23.000 Oh yeah, starting wars.

00:43:24.000 That's what they love about him.

00:43:26.000 But when the economy is booming, what do they do?

00:43:28.000 They lie, cheat, and they smear.

00:43:30.000 Every single thing the guy does, it never ends.

00:43:32.000 Yeah, we never were in the age of social media manipulation like we are now.

00:43:36.000 So if Trump had been president 30 years ago or someone like it, maybe there would have been newspaper articles.

00:43:41.000 But it would have been a lot of it behind the scenes because that's all they had. 0.97

00:43:44.000 Now it's social media, it's slander on the news and all that crap. 0.90

00:43:48.000 So we're seeing it for the first time.

00:43:51.000 Yeah, the fact that he fights through it all and is not only as popular as he is, but he is never tired.

00:44:02.000 It's like he eats it like a candy bar.

00:44:06.000 It's really extraordinary.

00:44:09.000 Just never seen a force like this in my life and you know, I mean I I'm around him a lot and get to spend a lot of time with him and and I Sometimes I'm surprised and just that you know kid from Ankeny, Iowa Gets these opportunities, but I also know that he's just like and he's a no BS kind of guy.

00:44:25.000 Yep He doesn't worry, you know doesn't worry that you didn't go to Yale or you didn't go to Harvard or you know Sort of doesn't know the reason they don't like him.

00:44:31.000 Can you are you effective?

00:44:32.000 Can you get the job done?

00:44:34.000 Do you speak clearly and make commitments and live up to those commitments?

00:44:38.000 It's just the basic, kind of what you'd expect out of a guy that's sort of built buildings.

00:44:44.000 I look at everything that's happened over the past several years and what's happening

00:44:47.000 now with the January 6th committee and there is a malignancy in this country that is gutting

00:44:51.000 it from the inside.

00:44:52.000 Donald Trump, what did he do?

00:44:54.000 He brought auto industry back to Michigan, an investment of I think around $3 billion.

00:44:59.000 He cuts out the TPP.

00:45:01.000 He starts bringing manufacturing back to the United States.

00:45:03.000 The best numbers of our lives, Jim Cramer says.

00:45:05.000 Foreign policy, Abraham Accords, peace in the Middle East starting to take form. 0.54

00:45:08.000 He's meeting with North Korea, walking into the DMC with no security.

00:45:12.000 You take a look at the stuff that Donald Trump did and it's like, wow!

00:45:15.000 One of the greatest presidents I've ever experienced.

00:45:18.000 I'm reluctant a little bit to say the greatest president, one of the greatest presidents.

00:45:22.000 I've said that before.

00:45:23.000 But I'm like, okay, I get it.

00:45:25.000 I wasn't alive for a bunch of the other presidents.

00:45:27.000 But in my lifetime, the foreign policy actions, not perfect, but really good.

00:45:32.000 No new wars, getting our troops out of the Middle East, trying to make peace with North Korea, shoring up our borders, getting rid of the TPP, bringing manufacturing back.

00:45:38.000 I'm just like, wow, all that stuff was really good for us.

00:45:41.000 And then you take a look at the Democrats and everything they're doing now, and it is

00:45:44.000 gutting and ripping this country apart, and it's because of people like Nancy Pelosi. 0.94

00:45:48.000 Nancy Pelosi, who we know, is enriching herself off of her position. 1.00

00:45:52.000 That somehow she just makes these excellent stock decisions that everybody else...

00:45:56.000 She's a heck of a stock picker. 1.00

00:45:57.000 Oh yeah, yeah.

00:45:58.000 And then people make a social media account tracking her stock decisions.

00:46:01.000 It gets banned.

00:46:02.000 You know, you look at the level of corruption, the lies, the cheating, the stealing, and it just makes me sick.

00:46:08.000 And the worst thing about it is, where is anyone to do anything about it?

00:46:13.000 Yeah, and Tim, you might be onto something here because I was just, as you were talking about all that, it struck me recently that Donald Trump, like you said, had kind of brought peace to the Middle East and was disengaging the U.S.

00:46:26.000 from the need for Middle Eastern energy.

00:46:29.000 And what is Joe Biden doing?

00:46:30.000 He's going right back there.

00:46:31.000 Exactly.

00:46:33.000 In the Middle East with the Saudis and, you know, he obviously went to Israel.

00:46:38.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:46:39.000 When I was there last week, they were talking about how, I guess, he drove into the West Bank or Gaza.

00:46:47.000 He went into one of the occupied territories.

00:46:49.000 I hate using their terminology.

00:46:51.000 Oh, Biden did.

00:46:51.000 Yeah, Biden did.

00:46:52.000 And he took off the Israeli flag because he was flying an American flag and an Israeli flag.

00:46:56.000 But they took off the Israeli flag before he entered the West Bank.

00:47:00.000 What do you call that?

00:47:02.000 The part of Israel that is... Palestine? 0.64

00:47:06.000 I don't know.

00:47:06.000 It's not Palestine.

00:47:07.000 That's who you asked.

00:47:09.000 That area is so interesting to me and having been there now and seen it with my own eyes, that is a fascinating history and it's a current real politic issue.

00:47:20.000 I think Gaza?

00:47:22.000 You're talking about Gaza?

00:47:23.000 The West?

00:47:23.000 Yeah, well, so I guess we can call them Gaza and the West Bank.

00:47:25.000 I don't want to call them occupied territories because they're not occupied.

00:47:29.000 They're part of Israel.

00:47:30.000 But anyway, I digress.

00:47:33.000 You take a look at what Big Tech is doing.

00:47:35.000 You take a look at how Democrats actively support a lot of what they're doing.

00:47:38.000 You take a look at the cult ideology, gender ideology, critical race theory, etc.

00:47:43.000 And these things just serve to erode and destroy the United States. 0.99

00:47:46.000 You don't see these things in China.

00:47:47.000 You don't see these things in India.

00:47:50.000 You don't see them in... You see them somewhat in Europe.

00:47:53.000 But in the United States, it is profound.

00:47:55.000 Bill Maher brought it up.

00:47:56.000 I mean, you look at the stuff that's happening with kids getting sex change operations.

00:48:01.000 This is happening predominantly in hyper-liberal areas and not in conservative areas.

00:48:06.000 But it's not happening in other countries.

00:48:07.000 You take a look at TikTok, for instance.

00:48:10.000 The things on TikTok, the overt wokeness, allowed.

00:48:13.000 We got banned from TikTok.

00:48:15.000 We really don't know why.

00:48:16.000 It may have been because we had Alex Jones on the show.

00:48:18.000 In China, they don't allow the woke stuff because they know it will erode the base of your country.

00:48:25.000 But in the United States, that is the law.

00:48:27.000 That is what you have to abide by in social media.

00:48:30.000 It's almost the more destructive the technology is for society, the more it is encouraged to be used and prolific.

00:48:39.000 It's really extraordinary.

00:48:42.000 Big Tech is, I think, going to get its reckoning here in the next year to three.

00:48:49.000 They've been given tremendous powers and they've abused those powers.

00:48:54.000 We rag on Republicans quite a bit because they don't do a whole lot, but I will say, from 2016 to 2018, you know, maybe they just didn't realize the extent to which things were occurring when they were occurring the way they were.

00:49:06.000 Then they lost in 2018 to the Democrats, and they gained back some seats in 2020, but not enough for the majority.

00:49:13.000 Maybe come November.

00:49:15.000 We're three and a half months away, about.

00:49:18.000 Maybe then the Republicans will get the House and the Senate.

00:49:21.000 Maybe we'll start to see some subpoenas.

00:49:23.000 I want to see this.

00:49:24.000 I want to see Joe Biden impeached for the Ukraine scandal.

00:49:27.000 Joe Biden engaged in an overt quid pro quo.

00:49:31.000 It's remarkable, remarkable that Donald Trump could discover this, seemingly bumbling upon it.

00:49:37.000 And when he asks the Ukrainian president, you look into what that was about.

00:49:40.000 They impeach him for it because they knew Joe Biden was their guy.

00:49:44.000 A made man would get away with the crimes he committed, going to Ukraine and saying, I am going to deny a billion dollar loan guarantee illegally, even though Congress approved it, because I can do whatever I want unless you fire the prosecutor.

00:49:58.000 By the way, the prosecutor happened to be investigating a company called Burisma where his son worked, but that's besides the point according to the media.

00:50:06.000 I was on the board of Burisma at the time.

00:50:09.000 Yeah, $83,000 a month.

00:50:10.000 And Victor Shokin was investigating that, and Joe Biden went to the president and said, fire him, or you're not getting a billion dollars.

00:50:17.000 And the president said, you can't do that.

00:50:18.000 And Joe Biden said, call the president, see what he says.

00:50:20.000 Well, SOB, guy gets fired.

00:50:22.000 That guy needs to be impeached over that.

00:50:24.000 We need a congressional investigation.

00:50:26.000 We need a select committee.

00:50:27.000 We need an investigation on the 529 insurrection, when they threw a fight, when they set fire to St.

00:50:32.000 John's Church and the guard post, forced the president into a bunker.

00:50:35.000 I expect to see subpoenas of all of the Biden administration officials.

00:50:39.000 I expect to see subpoenas, contempt of Congress, everything they can do if they win.

00:50:44.000 And you know what?

00:50:44.000 That's what worries me.

00:50:45.000 Because it sounds too good to be true.

00:50:47.000 But do you think Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice is going to receive those referrals?

00:50:56.000 Of course not.

00:50:56.000 Of course he won't.

00:50:57.000 enthusiastically as he did the one for Bannon and Navarro and the embarrassment that they

00:51:04.000 did to Peter Navarro.

00:51:05.000 I still, I was, this swearing thing is really annoying.

00:51:13.000 I was upset.

00:51:14.000 I feel like I was very very upset that the way that the the way Roger Stone was taken down. 0.85

00:51:23.000 I thought that was ridiculous.

00:51:24.000 CNN getting tipped off.

00:51:25.000 In fact you know I was the acting attorney general at the time and I let you know Chris Wray know You know, that was not acceptable.

00:51:34.000 That was clearly intentional middle finger.

00:51:37.000 CNN was tipped off, but you don't need to go... I mean, I understand officer safety, but Roger Stone is not... Have you done anything about it?

00:51:45.000 Well, what?

00:51:46.000 I mean, you know, you can get the explanation, but, you know, sort of operationally...

00:51:54.000 I don't think we want attorneys general involved in how to arrest someone they're going to arrest or how you're going to execute a search warrant.

00:52:04.000 You leave that to the people that are doing the job.

00:52:08.000 But this is the issue.

00:52:09.000 The Democrats get in and think the exact opposite of the way you think.

00:52:12.000 They say light them up, burn them down.

00:52:14.000 I know, and you see that example of Navarro being pulled off a plane.

00:52:19.000 Shackled.

00:52:19.000 If you believe Peter, yeah, his legs were shackled.

00:52:23.000 I mean, this is absolute nonsense.

00:52:26.000 I mean, he should have been given a notice to appear.

00:52:29.000 It's a misdemeanor, remember.

00:52:30.000 Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor.

00:52:32.000 So Bannon was convicted of a misdemeanor.

00:52:35.000 Navarro was charged with a misdemeanor.

00:52:36.000 I mean, that's the same, and again, I'm just telling you, that's the same as if you get a ticket In a national park.

00:52:46.000 I mean, it's the same docket that you see in that case.

00:52:49.000 What is it?

00:52:50.000 Two month minimum in sentencing guidelines up to two years?

00:52:54.000 It's up to one year.

00:52:55.000 Misdemeanors are under a year.

00:52:56.000 Oh, right, right, right.

00:52:57.000 It's two years because he's charged with two counts, I believe.

00:53:00.000 Yeah, so that is on par with driving on a suspended license?

00:53:05.000 Yeah, I mean it's federal so it's a little different.

00:53:08.000 Each state has a different thing.

00:53:11.000 I know my experience in Iowa having defended... You wouldn't go to court on a misdemeanor.

00:53:18.000 You wouldn't have a trial on a misdemeanor typically.

00:53:21.000 That's why the case was so fast and banished.

00:53:25.000 There were two witnesses.

00:53:26.000 He didn't call any.

00:53:28.000 Yeah, he didn't call any and the jury was out for three hours but of course waited for their free lunch.

00:53:35.000 How long do you think they're going to sentence him?

00:53:36.000 30 days or less, I'm guessing.

00:53:37.000 sentence him yet? 30 days or less I'm guessing. He might just get the, you know, I mean he

00:53:42.000 could get probation. It is, this is gonna be, I hope this isn't controversial, but you

00:53:51.000 know Congress has a jail in the Capitol and if they really wanted to enforce their subpoenas

00:53:56.000 they would send their Sergeant-at-Arms to go get these people and put them in Congress

00:54:00.000 jail and actually, you know, exert some like, you know, some, instead of offloading it to

00:54:05.000 the Department of Justice and making it, you know, again, making it appear to be something

00:54:10.000 much larger than it actually is.

00:54:12.000 I want to see Republicans win in November in the House and the Senate, but I don't want to see your typical Republicans win.

00:54:19.000 I want to see people like Marjorie Taylor Greene win.

00:54:22.000 You know, she's considered controversial. 1.00

00:54:24.000 The media smears her left and right.

00:54:25.000 She's got, certainly, views that I don't agree with.

00:54:27.000 I don't care.

00:54:28.000 She's fearless and she's fighting against this stuff.

00:54:31.000 She's going to Congress and forcing these people to do their jobs, much like Trump was. 1.00

00:54:35.000 That's why people like Trump.

00:54:36.000 That's why people like Marjorie. 1.00

00:54:38.000 That's why people like Thomas Massey or Rand Paul.

00:54:41.000 But they also like people that fight.

00:54:43.000 And they want people that stand up to just the B.S.

00:54:47.000 of Washington, D.C.

00:54:49.000 that don't, like, want to get invited to the, you know, white wine cocktail parties where everybody stands around with a drink and chortles about conservatives.

00:54:57.000 And, you know, they want people that sort of actually are unwilling to play the game.

00:55:02.000 That are going to go to Washington, D.C.

00:55:03.000 and they're going to fight for what they, you know, yeah, that they fight for what they got elected on.

00:55:08.000 And I mean, you see, you have to be an Tremendous self-confidence to survive that.

00:55:14.000 I'll give you a good example of the issue of the left and the right.

00:55:21.000 There was a guy who worked at Taco Bell, and he had a mask on that said, Black Lives Matter.

00:55:27.000 And his bosses went to him and said, you can't wear that political stuff while you're working here.

00:55:30.000 And he says, I'm going to take it off.

00:55:31.000 And then I said, if you don't take that mask off, we're going to tell you to leave.

00:55:34.000 You can't work while you have it on.

00:55:35.000 He says, fine.

00:55:36.000 He goes outside, he films himself and says, they wouldn't let me wear this.

00:55:40.000 The activists attack the Taco Bell until Taco Bell issued a statement saying you can wear Black Lives Matter stuff.

00:55:45.000 Conservatives don't do anything like that.

00:55:47.000 They say, well, but if I do that, I'll lose my job.

00:55:50.000 It's like, you're right.

00:55:52.000 The left doesn't care when they lose their job.

00:55:54.000 And you can argue, well, it's because they don't have kids.

00:55:55.000 It's a fair point.

00:55:56.000 I'm just saying, when the left is willing to go to Roger Stone's house at 5 in the morning with CNN being tipped off, and they bring him out this way, and the right is unwilling to do anything about it, or push back in an equal or opposing way, then you will get this indefinitely.

00:56:12.000 You know, it's remarkable to me that what happened to Roger Stone happened while you were the acting AG.

00:56:17.000 I mean, listen, I take responsibility for it.

00:56:20.000 It was under my watch.

00:56:21.000 I was in charge of the Department of Justice at the time.

00:56:24.000 You know, I mean, I raised holy hell as best I could.

00:56:29.000 But, you know, I just don't, you know, this is philosophically, the best you can do is know that it shouldn't and won't happen the next time.

00:56:39.000 And it does.

00:56:40.000 Well, I mean, you know, it does and it doesn't.

00:56:42.000 I mean, you know, at least while I was there we didn't have anything like that go down.

00:56:48.000 But, you know, this is where we have to have a higher standard for all, no matter what party you are, for all public servants we have to have a higher standard.

00:57:00.000 We can't just have our public servants be like everybody else and hold them to the same standard.

00:57:06.000 Because it's going to end up, you know, it's going to be just a complete... Well, you're right.

00:57:14.000 Blank show.

00:57:15.000 See?

00:57:15.000 You guys are killing me.

00:57:16.000 Cluster show. 0.86

00:57:17.000 Thank you.

00:57:19.000 Right now you have these young progressive personalities on YouTube or whatever claiming Republicans are steamrolling everything.

00:57:25.000 And why do they believe that?

00:57:26.000 Because they think they should get universal health care, but those Republicans just won't let them.

00:57:31.000 Meanwhile, Republicans are actually compromising on everything, on most things.

00:57:36.000 Gun control being the perfect example. 0.70

00:57:39.000 When the Democrats on the left argue that Republicans are the roadblock because they're only giving you a little bit.

00:57:45.000 Meanwhile, the Democrats are arresting former administration officials, which is like the red flag of all red flags in terms of governmental collapse and crisis.

00:57:56.000 The right being unwilling to do anything or saying, you know what?

00:57:59.000 We're gonna stand on decorum.

00:58:00.000 It's like, congratulations.

00:58:02.000 Stand on your decorum.

00:58:03.000 When they come and shackle your feet, let me know and I'll salute you as you go to the gulag.

00:58:07.000 That's what's happening.

00:58:08.000 No, and I'm not saying that the right should unilaterally disarm.

00:58:14.000 In fact, it's quite the opposite.

00:58:16.000 We gotta play the same game they're playing.

00:58:19.000 We need to know the game we're playing and then play it well.

00:58:21.000 But this does not end up well.

00:58:25.000 If we just keep smacking each other, that's not good for the American people.

00:58:29.000 And that's why the voters ultimately need to get the right people and throw the ones out that aren't working.

00:58:38.000 And we need to have more primaries, and we need to have more contested elections, and it needs to be from the bottom to the top.

00:58:46.000 For me, we all learn as we go, and we all adapt and adjust, and I just don't think Republicans are learning as well as Democrats right now.

00:59:02.000 Let me ask you about what happened with Lee Zeldin.

00:59:04.000 So you have this guy with cat ears, You know, I wouldn't call it... People are referring to it as a bladed weapon.

00:59:11.000 Is that fair to say, do you think?

00:59:13.000 So it's a self-defense device.

00:59:16.000 But, I mean, it is, you know, it would... If he had hit his, you know, neck or artery or something, he could have bled out.

00:59:23.000 I mean, there's no doubt this is a very dangerous situation.

00:59:28.000 You see this stuff, and it happened, what, a couple months?

00:59:31.000 A couple months ago, we just saw some guy try to assassinate Kavanaugh.

00:59:34.000 Or at least made great strides to get to that point.

00:59:38.000 Yeah, no, I mean, I think this culture of violence that we have right now, and it's very broad, but the political violence, I mean, it's just incredibly dangerous.

00:59:52.000 And it's, you know, we talked about earlier, is it going to be worth doing these jobs?

00:59:58.000 You know, even being a public figure, I mean, it's just, it's not... It will be if you're a communist.

01:00:04.000 If you're in a cult or you're ideologically driven, like I just mentioned this guy, he's wearing the Black Lives Matter mask at Taco Bell and he says, fire me, I'm not taking it off. 0.69

01:00:12.000 He's willing to throw himself, you know, on top of the issue because he'll sacrifice his position to wear that mask and they give it to him because of it.

01:00:21.000 And so you look at now what's going on with the violence.

01:00:25.000 You've got people on the left who are willing to destroy their careers or get paid almost nothing to be in that position and the right's unwilling to do it.

01:00:34.000 They're saying things like, you know what, it's easier and more comfortable just to get out of here and do something else and that's why they lose.

01:00:40.000 So now you see this guy who attacked Zeldin and he says, I guess the latest report is that he didn't know who Zeldin was or whatever.

01:00:47.000 Yeah, I don't think you go to a political rally the day the governor puts out a statement

01:00:52.000 about the guy, getting up on stage holding a weapon, and then telling him he's done,

01:00:57.000 and then moving, gesturing, I'm being very careful here, towards his neck with it, whether

01:01:00.000 it was for the mic or for his neck, whatever.

01:01:03.000 I don't think you just do that randomly.

01:01:05.000 But these are people who, when you get someone who's willing to sacrifice their livelihood and their job, or their own safety, these are people who are willing to wear all black and firebomb federal buildings.

01:01:16.000 I gotta tell you man, this is asymmetrical culture war.

01:01:20.000 Where the right is like, we're gonna win when regular people wake up to the gas prices.

01:01:25.000 And it's like, yeah, I think that's potentially true.

01:01:28.000 A lot of people, working class families, are going to be looking at the $5 a gallon gas, and it's $4.30 average right now, and they're going to be very angry about it.

01:01:36.000 But how many people are indoctrinated and don't care about gas at all?

01:01:39.000 How many posts have you seen on Facebook where people say, I don't care about high gas prices, January 6th is more important?

01:01:45.000 Because I see those all the time.

01:01:47.000 I see people who care more.

01:01:48.000 Who are your Facebook friends?

01:01:49.000 Well, I've got thousands of people on Facebook.

01:01:51.000 Cleanse that. 0.98

01:01:52.000 Cleanse that list of crazy people. 0.84

01:01:54.000 Even Biden said, it's worth it so we could take a stand for Ukraine. 0.84

01:01:59.000 We did the right thing.

01:02:01.000 Republicans and people who were up before that even happened don't want to sacrifice anything.

01:02:07.000 And the left will sacrifice themselves.

01:02:08.000 Well, they don't want to sacrifice.

01:02:09.000 They have a lot to say.

01:02:10.000 I mean, you know, a lot of Republicans are very successful and have ambition and goals

01:02:18.000 and desires and want to accomplish things not only for themselves but for their family

01:02:22.000 and they want their family to be successful.

01:02:23.000 So I mean, I hear what you're saying.

01:02:26.000 You know, there's so many of these people, especially people, many Republicans retiring.

01:02:31.000 They don't want to be involved in it at all, so they're like, I'm just going to retire.

01:02:34.000 Yeah, because it's not worth the money.

01:02:36.000 Maybe you made enough money.

01:02:37.000 It would be so easy for so many of these people.

01:02:39.000 You don't need that much money to retire forever.

01:02:42.000 And so what I see is... What is the number?

01:02:44.000 Yeah.

01:02:44.000 Wouldn't surprise me.

01:02:45.000 I mean, let's just look at the average retirement.

01:02:48.000 If you wanted to be a regular person, you retire on half a million to a million.

01:02:52.000 Now most of these people in Congress, I think what is like half of them are millionaires

01:02:55.000 or some ridiculous number?

01:02:56.000 Wouldn't surprise me.

01:02:57.000 I mean, their retirement benefits are also very good.

01:03:00.000 Right.

01:03:01.000 Nancy Pelosi's net worth is 135 million.

01:03:03.000 She could leave at any moment.

01:03:04.000 She never has to work a day in her life.

01:03:06.000 You just got two fridges full of ice cream, by the way.

01:03:08.000 Really expensive ice cream, too.

01:03:10.000 Yeah.

01:03:10.000 These are people who just want power.

01:03:13.000 Yeah, she made a video during the pandemic where, like, people were hurting and broke, and she's like, look at my $50 ice cream.

01:03:19.000 It's very good.

01:03:20.000 And everybody was like, thanks.

01:03:22.000 This is so disgusting. 0.94

01:03:23.000 Oh yeah, that's Nancy Pelosi for you. 0.99

01:03:25.000 She should retire.

01:03:25.000 What's even more disgusting is Tim doing Nancy Pelosi.

01:03:28.000 That's even worse. 0.97

01:03:30.000 I try to make it even more disgusting. 0.98

01:03:33.000 That's how she talks. 0.87

01:03:35.000 You hear the sides of the back of your tongue smacking on your inner cheek.

01:03:39.000 The way I see it, man, is I get it.

01:03:42.000 I get it.

01:03:43.000 You know, look, we here at Timcast, we're successful.

01:03:47.000 So I hear.

01:03:48.000 It would be so easy for me to just- I wish my podcast was as successful.

01:03:52.000 We've got a bunch of new shows we're launching, and I'm going to break down for everybody why we do what we do.

01:03:59.000 I think I mentioned this last week.

01:04:00.000 TimCast.com.

01:04:01.000 What was the first show that we launched?

01:04:02.000 It was Tales from the Inverted World.

01:04:04.000 True crime, mystery, history podcast.

01:04:06.000 Why?

01:04:07.000 They're very popular, particularly among women.

01:04:09.000 We already have a political podcast where we talk ad nauseum about all of these issues.

01:04:13.000 Then we launched Pop Culture Crisis with Brett Dasovic.

01:04:16.000 We brought on Mary Morgan to co-host it because that's not political. 0.96

01:04:19.000 Cause the goal for the website isn't just to argue with people and say, Hey, that thing they're doing on TV is dumb. 1.00

01:04:25.000 And that thing that they said in Congress was stupid. 0.99

01:04:27.000 It's like, we got to change culture. 1.00

01:04:28.000 We got to change it all.

01:04:30.000 But here's the crazy thing.

01:04:31.000 It is.

01:04:32.000 People don't, I don't think people understand how difficult it is to do all of this, how much time it takes.

01:04:38.000 16 hours a day plus, you know, several hours on the weekends, every waking moment of my life on the phone, answering emails, and I gotta figure out which emails to answer to make all of this work, and it would be so incredibly easy to cut everything down, do a single show, and just be well off and say, why am I risking my neck and stressing myself out for people who won't do the same?

01:04:59.000 Because I genuinely believe that there are a lot of people who listen who do want to do that.

01:05:03.000 And so maybe there are a lot of people who are like, you know, those all that woke cult stuff is really bad, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get involved.

01:05:10.000 Great.

01:05:10.000 Well, I'm not talking to them, I guess.

01:05:11.000 Maybe I'm trying to encourage them to stand up and change the world.

01:05:14.000 But I think there are a lot of people who are like, I'm ready.

01:05:16.000 I'm willing and I'm going to speak up and I'm going to make a difference.

01:05:19.000 And I'm like, well, then we got to have a space that allows for that to happen.

01:05:21.000 And we got to encourage more and more people to get involved.

01:05:24.000 So I'm more content doing that as opposed to so many other people who, you know, they're, well, I don't want to be in government because it's not worth the pay. And then the Democrats try to

01:05:35.000 destroy you. And then you look at what they put Brett Kavanaugh through. So there are certainly a

01:05:39.000 lot of people who are standing up, who are pushing back and doing the right thing, and I can

01:05:43.000 respect them. And I think we got to get more people to do it. But the way I see it with what we're

01:05:47.000 doing at Timcast is at the very least, we're just going to create a cultural space to the best of

01:05:51.000 our abilities. We're going to fight for it every day to not just be overtly political.

01:05:56.000 Because one thing the right does, and they do terribly, is they argue about what the left does instead of doing things. 0.98

01:06:02.000 They say, Hollywood made a movie, the movie sucks.

01:06:04.000 Okay, well now you got the Daily Wire making their own movies. 0.81

01:06:06.000 TimCast.com, we're starting to launch our own shows.

01:06:08.000 That's the path.

01:06:10.000 We create shows, we create culture, and we create a new place for people to go to get away from the influence of the Democrats and their psychotic cult.

01:06:17.000 That, I think, is the path towards changing things.

01:06:19.000 It is the hardest path possibly to take.

01:06:22.000 So, I totally get it why there are so many people who are like, I make good money, why speak up?

01:06:27.000 Yeah, and the frightening thing, I'm sure for you all, and I'm sure, you know, the reason you're trying to get more at on your website, Is because of how easy it is for big tech to de-platform you.

01:06:39.000 Oh, hands down.

01:06:40.000 I mean, it's just, it's, it's because, you know, there, there are ways to monetize these types of things that are, you know, that are pretty good when you're on these platforms, but they can take it away tomorrow.

01:06:51.000 And that's, I mean, that, that's, that's what anybody that wants to create a show or content or, or do anything.

01:06:57.000 I mean, you don't do, obviously you don't do it for the money, but like that, I think that's a reward for being good.

01:07:03.000 And it's not just about getting banned.

01:07:06.000 It's about the manipulation, the shadow banning.

01:07:09.000 So, you know, we had a show called Cast Castle, which was like a vlog, and we did bits, and then we ramped up the jokes, because honestly, it's fun to write jokes and act.

01:07:18.000 And then the issue is, we can't do a lot of jokes.

01:07:21.000 You get banned for it.

01:07:22.000 Or, you could build your business up on their platform.

01:07:26.000 They don't ban you, they just cut your money off after a decade of investment, and then your show's gone.

01:07:30.000 And it's like, okay, Why build up their platform?

01:07:33.000 We'll build up ours.

01:07:34.000 And so now, you know, this show is live on the front page of TimCast.com.

01:07:38.000 We're doing a lot.

01:07:38.000 We've done infrastructure.

01:07:39.000 We've kicked PayPal off the website.

01:07:41.000 PayPal and their censorious attitudes and Silicon Valley cultism, we now use Parallel Economy, which is co-founded by Dan Bongino and is censorship resistant.

01:07:50.000 So my view is, hopefully in five years, The big pop culture conversation is, oh yeah, that new movie that just came out on TimCast.com.

01:07:57.000 And we're not going to be overtly political.

01:07:59.000 We don't make conservative content.

01:08:01.000 We're not conservatives.

01:08:02.000 We just make content and it's not woke.

01:08:04.000 And we'll create a space to call out the lies the Democrats have been pushing.

01:08:08.000 And look, I don't like the uniparty Republicans either, but the Democrats are the ones who control the cultural institutions that are burning everything down.

01:08:15.000 You're right.

01:08:16.000 You're right.

01:08:18.000 That's what we do, I guess.

01:08:20.000 Good.

01:08:20.000 I love it.

01:08:21.000 That's why I'm here.

01:08:21.000 I heard good things.

01:08:23.000 Well, I'm optimistic in that regard, but I also kind of feel like we're building an arc, in a sense.

01:08:28.000 Like, it's going to get way worse than it is now.

01:08:31.000 A lot of people think that's pessimistic.

01:08:32.000 I'm like, I don't look at it negatively.

01:08:35.000 You know, I just look at it mathematically.

01:08:38.000 What's happening now culturally and politically is negative points towards the United States.

01:08:45.000 It's getting worse.

01:08:46.000 It doesn't mean everyone's going to die and the sun's going to burn out and the planet's going to explode.

01:08:50.000 No, there's still a Rome.

01:08:52.000 There's still a Rome.

01:08:53.000 There's just no Roman Empire.

01:08:54.000 Well, exactly.

01:08:56.000 Just like that.

01:08:56.000 It turned into a church, the Roman Catholic Church now.

01:09:00.000 It's another kind of mental control.

01:09:02.000 They couldn't do it militarily, it was too big, it splintered, so they just want to keep that influence.

01:09:06.000 Yeah, and I think, you know, my friend Rick Grinnell says often, you know, most great civilizations have lasted about 250 years.

01:09:13.000 We're, what, 246 right now?

01:09:14.000 We're there.

01:09:17.000 Yeah, and so we have the people of the United States are going to have to decide, and I think there are a lot of headwinds in that regard.

01:09:26.000 I also think we're the greatest idea ever conceived in human history, and so we'll see if we can, as a people, Figure it out.

01:09:36.000 Yeah, I don't think it's going to be through legislation.

01:09:37.000 I don't think we can legislate solution or print solutions with the Federal Reserve.

01:09:42.000 It's industry, like actually making things like graphene.

01:09:47.000 It's obsessively been talking about the last two years to bring awareness.

01:09:50.000 We have been obsessively talking about it.

01:09:52.000 Oh, I thought I have.

01:09:53.000 I have been.

01:09:54.000 Are you familiar with the material?

01:09:56.000 It's now graphing time.

01:09:58.000 Oh, check this out.

01:09:59.000 To Ian's credit, I got an ad for an electric bike.

01:10:02.000 It's range was 150 miles.

01:10:05.000 That blew my mind.

01:10:07.000 Because we've got some electric bikes and the range is like 40 or 50 miles.

01:10:10.000 And it charges in 15 minutes.

01:10:13.000 It's incredible.

01:10:14.000 So this is a battery compound?

01:10:15.000 It's pure carbon.

01:10:16.000 It's just carbon.

01:10:17.000 And it's hexagonally latticed like a honeycomb.

01:10:19.000 Flat, one layer atomic thick.

01:10:21.000 It's electrically conductive, capacitative like a battery.

01:10:25.000 You can superconduct with this stuff.

01:10:26.000 So, my point.

01:10:27.000 The bike uses a graphene battery.

01:10:29.000 Dude, and you can pull carbon dioxide out of the air, condense it onto palladium, and then turn it into graphene.

01:10:36.000 So we can basically mine the air, mine the carbon out of the air.

01:10:38.000 We can mine the methane out of the air.

01:10:40.000 And we're going to end up competing with trees.

01:10:42.000 So we just need to renegotiate and bring awareness to the government, I think, to teach them about the 21st century industry.

01:10:49.000 Well, isn't this the point I was trying to make earlier, and obviously you do it better with like a real technology, but it's, but human innovation is, you know, going to, because that doesn't, that solve the excess carbon in the environment.

01:11:01.000 If we're competing with trees, trees are the ones that are pulling out carbon dioxide.

01:11:04.000 But this is what we're running into.

01:11:05.000 Because yes, right?

01:11:07.000 We get carbon in the air, and then, like Ian says, we mine the air for carbon, and we need more of it.

01:11:11.000 We can't take too much.

01:11:12.000 You run into people who post things and memes like, Elon Musk is wasting money going to outer space.

01:11:17.000 That money should be spent here in the United States.

01:11:20.000 And it's like, where do you think they spent the money?

01:11:22.000 Do you think that Elon went to the moon and gave moon people our money?

01:11:26.000 No.

01:11:26.000 He hired American workers to work on American products, to machine American parts, to make an American spaceship.

01:11:32.000 It goes up into space, and then it comes back.

01:11:34.000 These people don't understand.

01:11:36.000 When we talk about new technologies, you are up against ideology versus innovation.

01:11:42.000 And the ideologues are saying, there's too much carbon, therefore, shut everything down, take away people's fuel, let the diabetics die when their refrigerators stop working and they don't have insulin anymore, and that will solve the problem.

01:11:54.000 And then you have the innovators saying, can we, I don't know, mine carbon from the air to reduce the parts per million, so that we can offset global warming, but then also use it for something innovative?

01:12:03.000 No, they don't want to give you the chance.

01:12:05.000 There are people who oppose human ingenuity and people who support it.

01:12:09.000 And right now, the Democratic Party, what are we watching right now?

01:12:12.000 Joe Biden selling off 20 million barrels of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

01:12:16.000 A decent amount goes to China.

01:12:18.000 They say the reason is because China, it legally has to go to the highest bidder. 0.84

01:12:21.000 So Europe and then China, they get it. 0.87

01:12:23.000 And my question is, Joe Biden, if he comes out... Which makes no sense.

01:12:27.000 I want to just...

01:12:29.000 Hang a lantern on what you just said, which is true, but it makes no sense.

01:12:34.000 It's the United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

01:12:38.000 It's not supposed to be sold off.

01:12:40.000 It's supposed to be used.

01:12:41.000 Not to be auctioned.

01:12:42.000 But they're trying to lower the prices.

01:12:44.000 So the question is, you know, if Joe Biden comes out and says he's going to get us off fossil fuels, and then you see, I think Germany, what, they shut down their nuclear plants, right?

01:12:54.000 Is that what happened?

01:12:55.000 I believe so, yes.

01:12:56.000 I think so.

01:12:56.000 I don't know, you want to fact check that?

01:12:57.000 I haven't heard that.

01:12:58.000 They did?

01:12:59.000 I'm wondering then, you know, they're not... Greta Thunberg says, we don't want to wait until 2030, we want to stop fossil fuels now!

01:13:06.000 And it's like...

01:13:07.000 It just sounds like they want to kill people.

01:13:09.000 That's all it sounds like.

01:13:10.000 That we've got a food shortage coming and they say stop farming.

01:13:13.000 We've got a fuel crisis and they're saying sell it off and shut down our power plants.

01:13:18.000 And I'm like, you're just trying to get rid of humans.

01:13:20.000 Bill Gates wrote four years ago, we have to stop poverty in Africa because they're having too many kids so there'll be more poor people.

01:13:28.000 And I'm like, So, you're not saying kill them, you're saying don't let them exist in the first place.

01:13:33.000 It sounds an awful lot like they're just nuking the system on purpose. 0.98

01:13:36.000 I think a lot of it is ignorance.

01:13:38.000 Like, maybe there are some destructive people that want to wipe out a segment of the population just for whatever short-sighted desire, but the people that want to create less carbon don't seem to understand that we can pull it out of the atmosphere pretty readily.

01:13:52.000 Well, that's the point.

01:13:52.000 Ideology versus innovation.

01:13:54.000 How do you convince a zombie horde screaming the end is nigh that there are ways to solve these problems through technology?

01:14:01.000 You can't!

01:14:03.000 You know, I saw a video, Turning Point USA.

01:14:05.000 We had a... Actually, let me just... Let me see if I can pull this up and we'll talk about it.

01:14:09.000 We got this tweet from Turning Point USA.

01:14:12.000 Freshly unfolded flags.

01:14:13.000 Yeah.

01:14:13.000 and Whoopi Goldberg smeared and lied about TPUSA regarding an incident where supposed

01:14:18.000 Nazis showed up outside the Student Action Summit.

01:14:21.000 Basically they say, oh there were Nazis there.

01:14:23.000 Yeah, there were weirdos waving a flag outside the event on the public sidewalk.

01:14:29.000 Freshly unfolded, yeah.

01:14:32.000 Probably the left.

01:14:33.000 It was, yeah, the left created this story.

01:14:36.000 Then Whoopi Goldberg says they weren't in there.

01:14:37.000 It's a pseudo event.

01:14:38.000 They weren't in there.

01:14:39.000 She's forced to come back out and say they weren't in there, but they weren't inside the building, but they were mixed in with the people.

01:14:46.000 It's all just outright lies about everything.

01:14:51.000 This is the same person who got in trouble for, what did she say, the Holocaust wasn't racially motivated.

01:14:58.000 Now let me play this clip for you.

01:15:00.000 Let me play this clip for you real quick.

01:15:02.000 And avert your ears, children.

01:15:04.000 This may be rather shrill and annoying.

01:15:06.000 You've been warned.

01:15:07.000 Get off my back! 1.00

01:15:11.000 Get off my back! 1.00

01:15:14.000 You should kill yourself! 1.00

01:15:15.000 I should kill myself? 1.00

01:15:16.000 Why? 1.00

01:15:18.000 Why? 0.98

01:15:19.000 Why should I kill myself? 0.99

01:15:23.000 This young woman screaming for literally no reason, nothing she understands.

01:15:28.000 How do you say to her, ma'am, did you know that we can solve the problem of climate change by mining carbon from the atmosphere?

01:15:33.000 Put it in a song, a hit song, because that gets the mindless zombies to dance along.

01:15:37.000 Perhaps.

01:15:39.000 Ian, write a hit song called, we can mine graphene from the air.

01:15:43.000 And then these people will start screaming and then you play the song.

01:15:47.000 No, the problem is they, you know what I think?

01:15:50.000 The zombie hordes hate.

01:15:51.000 They want to hate.

01:15:52.000 They hate.

01:15:53.000 And it's like that, you know, that meme where the guy says, I'm angry.

01:15:56.000 And the guy says, here's a solution.

01:15:58.000 And then he burns and says, I don't want a solution.

01:15:59.000 I want to be mad.

01:16:00.000 He's like, I'm mad.

01:16:01.000 I want to be mad.

01:16:03.000 This woman's screaming, and I gotta tell you, I don't know her personally, but I will tell you, my experience, having been to these protests, there's no reasoning with these people.

01:16:11.000 None.

01:16:12.000 Not in the moment, for sure.

01:16:14.000 No, no, just not at all.

01:16:16.000 I've been to their meetings.

01:16:19.000 Even those are impossible, in a room with a bunch of people, like, good luck.

01:16:23.000 No, no, no, I'm talking about- I went to Occupy Wall Street, it's impossible.

01:16:25.000 I'm talking about the private rooms at Occupy Wall Street where they were squatting inside one of the buildings that no one knew about.

01:16:29.000 Yeah, yeah, same.

01:16:30.000 I wonder if we were at the same meeting.

01:16:31.000 Maybe.

01:16:31.000 That would've been awesome.

01:16:32.000 And everyone's sitting down in small groups having conversations, and these people are zealots.

01:16:37.000 They don't care.

01:16:39.000 You are dealing with ideology versus logic, and they don't care.

01:16:44.000 Yeah, you can't head on it.

01:16:45.000 You gotta subvert it and kind of make them believe it without them realizing they're believing it, which is why I put on music and things like that.

01:16:51.000 No, no, no.

01:16:52.000 You misunderstand.

01:16:52.000 I agree with you on that point.

01:16:53.000 What I'm saying is they want hatred.

01:16:56.000 Yeah, it's addictive.

01:16:57.000 And so if you tell someone, I got this really good idea that we could mine carbon out of the atmosphere to stop climate change, they would say, I don't care.

01:17:06.000 I hate these people. 0.97

01:17:07.000 I hate these people. 0.98

01:17:07.000 I think because hate is, like, real. 0.98

01:17:09.000 It's something that they can, like, at least they know they have control of something as long as they can continue to feel it.

01:17:14.000 And when it goes away, then it's this uncertainty that can lead to, like, terror.

01:17:19.000 And so they snap back to what they know.

01:17:21.000 That's kind of a natural human phenomenon.

01:17:24.000 I just, I was in San Bernardino.

01:17:28.000 There was a group of people protesting holding up signs They had all stopped and they were talking to each other and I walked up and I was like, how's it going guys?

01:17:35.000 And they just looked at me like some of them like, oh, hey, what's up?

01:17:37.000 And I was like, I just wanted to ask you guys like what's going on?

01:17:39.000 Like, what do you what are you doing?

01:17:41.000 And then someone walks up and starts screaming Mike check Mike check Mike check Instantly all of the activists start repeating in unison Mike check that's what you're supposed to do What does that even mean?

01:17:51.000 I don't know what mics do. 1.00

01:17:52.000 Like this mic?

01:17:53.000 Mic check is a technique that the activists, the cults, use to, uh, they claim.

01:17:59.000 Bring them back to the trance?

01:18:00.000 Amplify voices when you can't hear things.

01:18:03.000 It's freaky, weird, dude.

01:18:04.000 Oh, is that where they repeat?

01:18:06.000 Oh my goodness.

01:18:08.000 I went to Occupy.

01:18:09.000 I wouldn't do it.

01:18:10.000 I refused.

01:18:10.000 I just screamed as loud as I could so they didn't have to repeat me because it was so cult.

01:18:15.000 It was culty.

01:18:15.000 It's culty.

01:18:16.000 It's a cult technique.

01:18:16.000 They get you to repeat the thing.

01:18:17.000 They make you repeat it several times.

01:18:19.000 And so when I tried talking to people, they immediately start yelling, mic check, stopping the conversation.

01:18:25.000 And the woman said, she goes, do not. 0.61

01:18:28.000 And they all go, do not.

01:18:29.000 And she goes, talk to anyone.

01:18:31.000 And then I'll repeat, talk to anyone.

01:18:34.000 They are trying.

01:18:35.000 They are trying to trick you!

01:18:37.000 To trick you!

01:18:38.000 And then she says it again, and they all just mindlessly chant.

01:18:41.000 You don't get it, man.

01:18:42.000 Like, I hear what you're saying about subverting and, like, trying to convince them, but when people are in a zombie horde, controlled by a zombie lord, I don't know what to tell you because I've been in private with them, and they have cognitive dissonance, and they experience physical pain when you provide information that could shatter that.

01:18:59.000 And when they're in public, they're unwilling or just so angry Look at this woman. 0.99

01:19:04.000 She's screaming at Drew Hernandez's face for no reason. 1.00

01:19:07.000 She doesn't know him.

01:19:08.000 Know anything about him.

01:19:10.000 And she's saying, stand up, fight back.

01:19:11.000 What does that mean?

01:19:12.000 I want the context.

01:19:13.000 What did Drew say?

01:19:14.000 Is there more of the video?

01:19:15.000 Oh, I don't have it.

01:19:16.000 But come on, like... No, we don't need context.

01:19:19.000 I must know.

01:19:20.000 I see the humanity in the woman.

01:19:22.000 You will.

01:19:23.000 What does stand up, fight back mean?

01:19:26.000 Oh, it's rhetoric.

01:19:27.000 I don't even know.

01:19:29.000 What are they protesting?

01:19:30.000 I don't know.

01:19:31.000 What is it?

01:19:31.000 Twitter-free Isabel?

01:19:33.000 They're amoral and they want to cling to something that feels like a moral system. 0.62

01:19:40.000 Zombies.

01:19:41.000 What makes someone susceptible to that?

01:19:44.000 You know, I... Why is it not you?

01:19:48.000 Why is it not me?

01:19:49.000 I don't know, like why isn't it any of us?

01:19:50.000 Like not in these crowds?

01:19:52.000 Yeah.

01:19:54.000 Strong mental fortitude and independent.

01:19:57.000 Having a job.

01:19:59.000 I don't know about that.

01:19:59.000 Probably helps.

01:20:02.000 I think it's, I don't know if it's nature or nurture, because I wonder, how is it that throughout my life I have been fiercely independent?

01:20:13.000 Maybe it's nurture, you know, the way I was raised.

01:20:17.000 Are you Scottish by chance?

01:20:18.000 No, part Irish, but a bunch of different things.

01:20:24.000 Growing up on the south side, it was like, you know, figure it out.

01:20:30.000 Maybe that's it.

01:20:30.000 Maybe these are kids who had everything handed to them and they have no idea to solve their problems.

01:20:34.000 I think that could be a big part of it.

01:20:36.000 Because there are so many people who say, I don't know what to do.

01:20:39.000 And I'm like, I got to be honest, if you are an adult and you don't know what to do to be successful,

01:20:44.000 then you did not have parents who taught you the things you needed to do to survive

01:20:49.000 or circumstances that did. Because I was lucky enough to have a bit of both.

01:20:53.000 I had parents who basically, hey, get out of the house and go do stuff.

01:20:59.000 And so, forcing me to be more independent.

01:21:01.000 That was what we did back then when I was a kid.

01:21:03.000 We'd be anti-grounded.

01:21:05.000 My parents would be like, get out of the house. 0.87

01:21:07.000 You're sitting inside too much.

01:21:08.000 Go do something.

01:21:09.000 Come back when the street lights turn on.

01:21:10.000 That was me growing up.

01:21:12.000 And so, solve your problems.

01:21:14.000 You're on your own.

01:21:16.000 We had a house that didn't have a deck off the sliding glass door.

01:21:22.000 My parents just never put one on there.

01:21:24.000 There's one out there, they're still in the same house.

01:21:28.000 My mom would just open up that sliding glass window and yell and whistle. 1.00

01:21:32.000 The same way she would call the dog.

01:21:34.000 That was when it was time to come in for dinner.

01:21:36.000 Like most of our childhoods, that was just normal.

01:21:41.000 I would I remember I was like I'm like 14 and my friends were all jumping on the freight trains and riding them because you know our area was like from where we lived where the park was was like three miles so you'd be walking down the tracks you'd hear the thing the trains going like 15 or 20 miles an hour you run and then just grab and hang on and it brings you all the way there is there were little kids doing this stuff yeah Just figure it out on your own.

01:22:03.000 I wonder if these kids don't have that.

01:22:04.000 Well, this girl... Snowplow parents. 0.96

01:22:06.000 I watched her eyes when she was screaming. 0.99

01:22:08.000 It looks like some sort of amphetamine.

01:22:12.000 Like, it looks like a... Adderall.

01:22:13.000 Yeah, Adderall, maybe.

01:22:14.000 Because, like, the eyes are so round and pupiled and they're not matching with the mouth.

01:22:20.000 I think kids that are on drugs at age 12, 13, 14, even younger, don't know how to be happy, really.

01:22:30.000 They don't know what they're protesting.

01:22:32.000 Yeah, they don't have a solid formation of what they think reality is without the drug.

01:22:38.000 Right.

01:22:38.000 So there were protesters today outside the Marriott Marquis.

01:22:42.000 Oh yeah, how was that?

01:22:43.000 I'm used to it, and I hate to say, I have one rule of protesters.

01:22:50.000 Please write your signs so they can be read at about 35 miles an hour.

01:22:56.000 Because for some reason Jeff Sessions, when I worked with him, had a lot of people that didn't like him and had a lot of protesters that would show up everywhere we went around the country.

01:23:05.000 And these people would write these very convoluted signs that didn't make any sense.

01:23:10.000 I mean, there were a couple, like, two-word ones, like, F U. Like, that made sense. 1.00

01:23:14.000 I get your perspective, but... Remember when someone made a sign that said Rahm Emanuel likes Nickelback?

01:23:19.000 Yes.

01:23:20.000 How dare they?

01:23:20.000 And then all of a sudden, everyone started writing similar signs.

01:23:23.000 Yeah.

01:23:23.000 And became a meme.

01:23:24.000 Because these people aren't protesting anything.

01:23:26.000 College game day's the best for that, by the way.

01:23:28.000 They're not protesting anything.

01:23:29.000 They're showing up and trying to just be part of a crowd to feel...

01:23:34.000 included or something.

01:23:36.000 Because they need to go to church.

01:23:38.000 Well, they don't have to because this is their church.

01:23:40.000 Which is so trite to say, but it's true. 0.94

01:23:43.000 It is. And so the funny thing is how I take a look at this, right?

01:23:49.000 I'm certainly not Christian by any standard.

01:23:51.000 I take a look at this, and I take a look at churches.

01:23:53.000 There's always time.

01:23:55.000 Well, when I was younger, I went to Catholic school.

01:23:58.000 I was raised Catholic.

01:24:00.000 I believe in God, but I don't believe in any of the organized religions for the most part.

01:24:04.000 So you're spiritual?

01:24:06.000 No, that's... Do you believe in a power greater than yourself?

01:24:11.000 Yes.

01:24:12.000 Okay.

01:24:14.000 I think logic dictates... Do you pray?

01:24:18.000 I think maybe Christians would... I don't consider it praying in the same way that a Christian would or someone else, so maybe not. 0.70

01:24:26.000 I wouldn't say so. 1.00

01:24:27.000 But when I stand back and I see modern Christianity I see some people who believe stupid things. 1.00

01:24:34.000 I see some people who think there's a giant man in a robe, bald in the clouds, who's watching over us, which is silly. 0.98

01:24:39.000 But then I see people who are more learned when it comes to philosophy and theology, and they actually question, and they have legitimate reasons for believing the things they do.

01:24:52.000 But more importantly, I say, okay, let's talk about the general outcome of what we have.

01:24:57.000 Were there bad things before modernization and reformation?

01:25:00.000 Oh, you betcha.

01:25:01.000 And there still are in a lot of religions.

01:25:03.000 But I tell you this, when I go down, I was hanging out with Seamus, who's a Catholic, and we went down to Charlestown.

01:25:10.000 We met up with him after mass got out.

01:25:12.000 I see a bunch of little kids playing, wearing nice clothes with their parents, and their parents are keeping their kids safe, and they're sharing food with the needy and things like that.

01:25:20.000 I'm like, all those things are really good.

01:25:21.000 You want to have a gathering and your idea of doing right by your community is teaching your kids to be good people and providing food to the needy?

01:25:29.000 I'm like, dig it!

01:25:30.000 Really great!

01:25:31.000 If your idea of a gathering and community building is screaming at the top of your lungs and throwing bricks and harassing people, we got a very serious problem with your moral framework.

01:25:39.000 So what do we see right now?

01:25:40.000 Perhaps there will be a reformation of leftist ideology in 2,000 years, and they'll realize that maybe they should actually practice what they preach, and instead of screaming in people's faces and throwing bricks at them, they give them bread.

01:25:52.000 A lot of these people do that.

01:25:54.000 When I see people doing like foods not bombs, giving out food, I've seen this my entire life, that's fantastic!

01:25:59.000 If that's your idea of organizing, that's great!

01:26:03.000 And then of course there, you know, historically there have been, you know, bad Christians as well. 0.91

01:26:08.000 Modern times, right now, I'm not going to sit here and complain about the fifties.

01:26:12.000 You know, those times have passed.

01:26:14.000 Civil rights won.

01:26:15.000 Congratulations!

01:26:16.000 My family is certainly happy that it happened.

01:26:18.000 Now I'm looking at You're average Christian and maybe not doing enough to raise their kids properly. 1.00

01:26:25.000 And so this is why you're seeing a wave of young people becoming dejected and lost.

01:26:30.000 But I see at these universities some new kind of pseudo non-theistic religion in critical theory, wokeness.

01:26:39.000 I don't think any of these one terms defines what's happening.

01:26:41.000 They say intersectional feminism, they say wokeness, they say critical race theory, critical gender theory, critical theory.

01:26:47.000 None of those things actually explain what we're seeing.

01:26:51.000 The emergence of a non-theistic religion.

01:26:53.000 Perhaps wokeism is the best all-encompassing term.

01:26:56.000 These are people who have all of the similar traits of a newly formed religion or dogma.

01:27:02.000 They are violent, they are angry, they have no rhyme or reason or logic behind what they do.

01:27:06.000 Is this transhumanism?

01:27:07.000 You think this is transhumanistic religion?

01:27:09.000 No, it's almost like, the way I explained it before is I read a physics book about when they captured electrons in a two-dimensional plane and simulated an element.

01:27:20.000 So an element, for instance, has got like a hydrogen, has an atomic weight of one, I believe.

01:27:25.000 Yeah, one proton.

01:27:26.000 One proton with an electron orbiting it.

01:27:28.000 So what I read was that in a two-dimensional plane, they captured an electron and simulated orbit.

01:27:33.000 There was no proton nucleus, but it adopted the properties of hydrogen.

01:27:38.000 Because of the confined space and the forced movement of the electron or whatever.

01:27:43.000 And so they injected an electron, another one into it, and it simulated helium effectively, but there was no core.

01:27:48.000 There was no nucleus.

01:27:49.000 And that's what I see here.

01:27:50.000 I see the... all of the bad of religion amassed into one group with no rhyme or reason or dictating principles, just chaos.

01:28:00.000 It is like a fire, consuming, burning, full of rage, and there's no reasoning with it.

01:28:05.000 Yeah, it's like so they're forcing it's not happening natural.

01:28:08.000 It's like it's like a forced Creation as opposed to happening naturally It's like take take a bunch of people.

01:28:17.000 It's it's you know what it is.

01:28:18.000 It's really simple.

01:28:18.000 It's Take a Christian society which the United States Absolutely is and and and the left might be like no we're not I'm not saying it should be I'm saying that the overwhelming majority of people in this country identify as Christians and historically have done so and And then what you do is, over time, those kids, the next generations, next generations, slowly cease to hold the values.

01:28:40.000 And what you end up with is all of the elements of dogma without any of the moral framework.

01:28:45.000 Yeah, like when you tell yourself, I have to go do this thing because that's what a Christian would do. 1.00

01:28:51.000 Or I have to go yell at a crowd because that's what a true believer would do.

01:28:55.000 You're the electron without the core.

01:28:57.000 It comes, you don't need to be told what to do to get it done, you know.

01:29:02.000 It's inherent in the system if you look around and you're open to it.

01:29:06.000 But that requires some sort of, I don't know, stability or something.

01:29:11.000 You know what's crazy?

01:29:12.000 The lady from the Westboro Baptist Church who got deradicalized on Twitter, you know the story?

01:29:17.000 I can't remember her name, but she was on Twitter and then people started having conversations with her and then she was like, wow, okay, maybe I'm wrong about this.

01:29:25.000 uh... darryl davis talking about how he met with clansmen and then he's a black man he talks to him and they turn in

01:29:30.000 their robes and say i don't want to do this anymore

01:29:33.000 and then you take a look at these people and they're the complete opposite there's

01:29:35.000 no reasoning they're just screaming and dogmatic

01:29:39.000 i think it was megan phelps roper is the woman that left the uh... westboro baptist

01:29:43.000 church there was a rogan interview that was pretty cool i believe

01:29:48.000 Yeah, it was very cool.

01:29:50.000 I wonder what this, you know, watching this video from its front lines with Drew Hernandez, seeing this video of this woman just screaming, and it's just so, it's exactly what I experienced for a decade.

01:30:02.000 I'm like, where did these people end up?

01:30:03.000 I keep thinking of like the second coming of Christ and like how they say in the apocalypse or the end times that Christ will reemerge to unify the planet or whatever.

01:30:11.000 I don't know.

01:30:12.000 Maybe you know more about it.

01:30:13.000 I don't know.

01:30:14.000 But maybe that's what we need right now with, like, obviously Islam and Christianity, but now this too. 0.86

01:30:20.000 Yeah.

01:30:21.000 Well, I mean, you know, obviously Christians, including myself, believe that Jesus will come again.

01:30:25.000 He promised he would.

01:30:27.000 You know, there's some belief that he will come through the East Gate on the Temple Mount.

01:30:31.000 I was just there a week ago.

01:30:33.000 He was not there at the time.

01:30:35.000 Hasn't been there yet.

01:30:38.000 He clearly didn't come to unify as he said himself.

01:30:42.000 Yeah.

01:30:43.000 A lot of us, you know, are human nature and human, you know, just failing.

01:30:47.000 I mean, we, you know, we always... Human beings for the, you know, through time and memoriam have always, you know, sort of put themselves at the center of the universe.

01:30:59.000 I mean this, that's why I think these pictures from this new satellite that are bringing, you know, 150 million years of, you know, have been extraordinary.

01:31:14.000 But it just, it points just, I mean, not only how many universes there are, but just how, like, how remote.

01:31:20.000 How many universes there are?

01:31:22.000 Well, not, you know, I'm sorry.

01:31:23.000 Multiverse theory, huh?

01:31:24.000 Galaxies?

01:31:25.000 No, galaxies.

01:31:27.000 Thank you.

01:31:27.000 I misspoke, but thank you for stomping me.

01:31:29.000 You may have actually just channeled the truth.

01:31:31.000 I was like, yeah, I think you're channeling the truth there, you know?

01:31:34.000 Multiverse theory, huh?

01:31:36.000 Well this is something that I've had deep conversations with with smart people and you know at the end of the day you know physicists can't explain where what it's expanding into and and it just gets really you know it's been the Curvatures and things bending and donuts and all that.

01:31:56.000 And I think these pictures are just extraordinary.

01:31:58.000 Because if you look at the size of a pin, the head of a pin, and it had all of these galaxies in it.

01:32:06.000 it. Now you want to just it was just and you just think like you know we're just

01:32:09.000 like on this random one arm of one galaxy kind of really sort of out of you

01:32:18.000 know outside of the middle of all that.

01:32:19.000 It's just, I don't know, it blows your mind sometimes.

01:32:21.000 Here's the scary thing about it though, right?

01:32:22.000 The universe is expanding.

01:32:23.000 Ian's looking at me like either, yeah, I totally agree or dude, you're freaking me out.

01:32:26.000 I agree.

01:32:26.000 I think of all the life forms, like there's so much life in this universe, I would imagine.

01:32:32.000 There's so much of us.

01:32:33.000 Here's the scary thing.

01:32:35.000 They say the universe is expanding, and it's expanding faster, right?

01:32:38.000 So that means that there will come to a point where the universe has expanded so much, when you look into the night sky, you will see literally nothing.

01:32:47.000 Because the light is moving away from us faster than it can come to us.

01:32:53.000 People in that era will think there is nothing else.

01:32:58.000 I think it's an optical illusion because the universe is twisting around on itself.

01:33:02.000 You mentioned the donut, the torus, and that because the wavelength is turning, it looks like it's changing color.

01:33:10.000 It's called the red shift in nature.

01:33:11.000 And they say, well, that means it's getting further away, but it might just be that the wave is bending and it looks like it's becoming a shorter frequency or a longer frequency, depending on how it's bending.

01:33:23.000 And it's just twisting.

01:33:25.000 Okay.

01:33:26.000 Perhaps.

01:33:27.000 And perhaps we'll go to Super Chats.

01:33:29.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends if you like it, and head over to TimCast.com, become a member.

01:33:37.000 We're gonna have that members-only show coming up at 11 p.m.

01:33:39.000 Last night we had Zoobie on.

01:33:41.000 That was a really great conversation.

01:33:43.000 And of course, you also want to check out, if you're looking for something to do while you're on a road trip, Or it's late night, you're trying to chill.

01:33:50.000 Tales from the Inverted World.

01:33:51.000 These episodes, we've really cranked up the production value.

01:33:54.000 And we're getting ready to relaunch Cast Castle.

01:33:57.000 These are going to be 20 to 30 minute episodes.

01:33:58.000 It's going to be a whole lot of fun with a whole lot of jokes and more shows to come.

01:34:02.000 Comedy specials, all that good stuff.

01:34:04.000 A lot of stuff.

01:34:04.000 We also have... We are going to be launching the Inverted World podcast, which is... I know Tales from the Inverted World had a podcast audio form.

01:34:12.000 This is going to be Shane Cashman actually taking calls and discussing the creepy, the paranormal, the mysteries, hauntings with people all over the country.

01:34:21.000 So we're actually gonna be setting up a way that you guys can submit your stories, tell them, and then we're gonna be creating a weekly show that's gonna explore all of this stuff.

01:34:30.000 So that's all to come.

01:34:31.000 Let's read some super chats!

01:34:34.000 Brie Sullivan says, is the death penalty a deterrent for drug dealers?

01:34:37.000 Aren't their executions less refined than ours?

01:34:41.000 Who's executions? 0.54

01:34:42.000 The drug dealers, like the cartels?

01:34:44.000 Yeah.

01:34:45.000 They find these bodies heaped in a pile and stuff.

01:34:48.000 Well, yeah, so what do you think?

01:34:49.000 Do you think the death penalty deters crime?

01:34:54.000 That's actually, the honest answer is I don't know.

01:34:59.000 I think many death penalty eligible crimes are crimes of passion and I'm not sure people consider when they're killing another human being that they're going to be punished.

01:35:11.000 At the same time, I think it also is like the society's statement on what the moral code is.

01:35:20.000 Right.

01:35:22.000 Yeah.

01:35:23.000 All right.

01:35:24.000 GK Mashton says, do you know about Bill Whittle and his plan to make a Star Trek-like open universe for animated shows that aren't woke?

01:35:30.000 He's a fan of yours and your efforts to make entertainment fun again.

01:35:33.000 Cool.

01:35:34.000 Glad to hear it.

01:35:34.000 Thank you.

01:35:35.000 I didn't know that.

01:35:36.000 Oh, you're a fan of yours.

01:35:37.000 I'm sorry.

01:35:37.000 This is your, this is your super chat.

01:35:39.000 Yeah.

01:35:39.000 Talking about launching new shows.

01:35:43.000 All right.

01:35:43.000 John Smith says, Matt, please run against Rhino Joni Ernst in 2026.

01:35:48.000 What are your political aspirations?

01:35:50.000 You going to run?

01:35:51.000 So I lost to Joni in a primary in 2014.

01:35:55.000 Joni is a friend of mine.

01:35:58.000 Obviously Iowa is a very small state so people that are active and involved know each other.

01:36:03.000 You know I don't have an immediate desire to run for office.

01:36:07.000 There was a lot of people that wanted me to run this year.

01:36:10.000 Chuck Grassley is our longtime U.S.

01:36:13.000 Senator.

01:36:14.000 They wanted me to either primary him or they wanted me to run for Attorney General.

01:36:19.000 I'm happy with where I am.

01:36:22.000 I've offered myself to the Iowa voters twice now.

01:36:26.000 I don't know.

01:36:26.000 been successful statewide.

01:36:29.000 And so I'll look for opportunities for public service.

01:36:33.000 Maybe that's in the next administration.

01:36:34.000 Maybe that's sort of doing my thing with my show and the other ways.

01:36:41.000 I don't know.

01:36:42.000 So as a believer in God, I think a lot of this is part of God's plan.

01:36:47.000 And he's given me certain abilities and talents and some of those lend themselves to public

01:36:54.000 speaking and doing other things.

01:36:56.000 But at the same time, I'm very content.

01:36:58.000 I don't need it.

01:36:59.000 And that's a great place to be.

01:37:00.000 Because I think when I was a younger man, I sort of needed, I was very ambitious and

01:37:05.000 I needed that victory because I'm very competitive.

01:37:09.000 I played college football.

01:37:10.000 I played sports growing up.

01:37:12.000 Uh, but now I'm in a good place and, uh, you know, really am enjoying what I do now.

01:37:17.000 But at the same time, you know, if the president were to ask me to do something, uh, I would certainly be very interested.

01:37:23.000 Well, let's get this one.

01:37:24.000 Crackerjack says, me and the wife were talking.

01:37:25.000 I wanted to ask you if you think Trump will truly clean house like he says, because we still have our doubts after his last run.

01:37:32.000 Granted, he was held back by Democrats.

01:37:34.000 Trump said he wants to fire everybody.

01:37:35.000 What do you think he's going to do it?

01:37:37.000 Yeah, so I've been reading the news reports, too, and I think this president, for much of the administration, was limited by a lot of the people he had in place, you know?

01:37:50.000 And some of those were career, a lot of them were his own political appointees.

01:37:54.000 And I think he is much smarter, much keener on that.

01:37:57.000 He's trusting fewer people.

01:37:58.000 He's not just, you know, he understands that who the Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice matters.

01:38:05.000 And, you know, so it's all the way down in every organization.

01:38:08.000 So, yeah, I think he's a lot more attuned.

01:38:10.000 Is he going to clean house?

01:38:12.000 I think he's going to count a lot on some key people to execute his plan.

01:38:17.000 He'll be a lot more effective in the first two years than he was last time.

01:38:20.000 Yeah.

01:38:21.000 If he only ran one commercial from now until election day where he goes, ladies and gentlemen of America, if you elect me, I'm going to fire everybody.

01:38:29.000 Have a nice day.

01:38:29.000 I'd be like, OK, you got my vote.

01:38:33.000 Go for it.

01:38:34.000 There's too many people in this government.

01:38:36.000 We need to clean.

01:38:38.000 Clean up.

01:38:39.000 Get the corruption out of there.

01:38:40.000 Drain the swamp. 0.99

01:38:41.000 Fire the swamp monsters.

01:38:42.000 Whatever.

01:38:43.000 Bring in new people.

01:38:44.000 Vet new people.

01:38:45.000 And our founding fathers never intended public service to be a career.

01:38:51.000 They thought it would be a sacrifice that you had to go away from, you know, ride a horse or a train, initially a horse, and then, you know, sort of be inconvenienced.

01:39:02.000 And now it's just that we have these career, you know, politicians that all they've ever done is politics.

01:39:10.000 All they've ever done is be elected.

01:39:12.000 And it's not good for the Republic.

01:39:14.000 So, Christina H., with one of the most important superchats I've ever read, what do you get when you cross an angry sheep with an angry cow?

01:39:22.000 Two animals that are in a bad mood.

01:39:26.000 That was too good.

01:39:27.000 I had to read that.

01:39:28.000 Yeah, we needed that.

01:39:31.000 I hope a bunch of people laughed for the silliness of the joke.

01:39:36.000 All right.

01:39:37.000 Joe Byrne says, just got told at my security job that we will be enforcing a new mask mandate policy within the county.

01:39:43.000 I plan to remind the frustrated employees who think, uh, who, uh, who to thank for this come November.

01:39:50.000 Yup.

01:39:52.000 Ant-Man says drug dealers are turning people into zombies.

01:39:55.000 Look up the Kensington area of Philadelphia to see how bad things actually are.

01:39:58.000 People shooting up in public and being unable to function in society.

01:40:01.000 Yo, did you see those videos?

01:40:03.000 No.

01:40:04.000 When like the kids get off the bus from school and there's like people standing there and they're like strung out.

01:40:08.000 I did see that and they had to walk through it.

01:40:10.000 That's horrible.

01:40:13.000 Get out of cities, man.

01:40:17.000 I appreciate all of the 20s in chat for the moo joke. 1.00

01:40:19.000 Thank you, Christina.

01:40:20.000 That was fantastic.

01:40:21.000 Truly wholesome, yes.

01:40:23.000 All right.

01:40:24.000 Ramtech says, should A.G.

01:40:26.000 Garland recuse himself from an investigation of Trump?

01:40:28.000 I doubt he will.

01:40:29.000 Should he?

01:40:31.000 Well, he would have to do the same analysis for whether or not he has a conflict.

01:40:37.000 I'm just off the top of my head.

01:40:39.000 I can't think of anything, but I haven't really thought through the facts and circumstances.

01:40:44.000 He certainly should recuse himself from Hunter Biden.

01:40:48.000 I don't think there's any doubt about that.

01:40:50.000 We should get a special prosecutor.

01:40:51.000 Yeah, no, there should be a special counsel appointed.

01:40:52.000 I just can't imagine a world where... But this is... If you remember, this is a long tradition of the Democrats in control of the Department of Justice never taking the political appointees out of prosecution decisions.

01:41:09.000 They just won't do it.

01:41:11.000 Alright, Greg Cox says the government supplied cartels with weapons, fast and furious, and shuttled drugs to inner cities.

01:41:19.000 Freeway Ricky Ross.

01:41:20.000 Our government is broken fundamentally.

01:41:22.000 Trump says it constantly.

01:41:24.000 Why should we trust him on this, as he is part of the system?

01:41:28.000 Uh, I think Trump tries.

01:41:30.000 I think he tried.

01:41:31.000 I think he made mistakes because he was naive.

01:41:34.000 I think Trump thought that if he got elected president, he'd be able to get the job done because, well, he's the president.

01:41:38.000 Then he realized there's a bureaucratic state that's gumming up the works.

01:41:42.000 And he figured it out too late.

01:41:43.000 I think, what, the Schedule F stuff happened in 2020?

01:41:45.000 Yeah.

01:41:46.000 It's like the last year he had.

01:41:48.000 And he's like, okay, Schedule F, we're going to fire these people and then try again next time.

01:41:52.000 We'll see.

01:41:55.000 Alright, I'm Not Your Buddy Guy says, Despite my support for the death penalty, my biggest issue is I can easily see leftists using it on their political opponents.

01:42:03.000 They really have lost it.

01:42:05.000 Regardless, we should make asylums great again. 1.00

01:42:08.000 What does that mean? 0.99

01:42:09.000 Asylums for people who are mentally ill. 0.99

01:42:12.000 Lock them up. 0.99

01:42:14.000 That could get bad real fast.

01:42:15.000 Yeah, they'll just lock you up.

01:42:16.000 They'll be like, you're a conservative. 1.00

01:42:17.000 That's a mental illness. 1.00

01:42:18.000 Lock them up. 0.98

01:42:19.000 They were like notoriously bad in the 80s.

01:42:21.000 Reagan like ended a lot of them and put a lot of people onto the street. 1.00

01:42:25.000 Yeah.

01:42:26.000 Supreme Court also ruled that essentially you can't detain people without, you know, kind of just for, you know, there was a fundamental right to, you know, sort of be free and not be detained.

01:42:38.000 Talking cover says, please tell Matt, go Big Red, from an IRL Cornhusker fan, he'll get it being from Iowa, friendly rivalry.

01:42:46.000 Oh my goodness.

01:42:47.000 Everywhere I go, I mean I'm telling you, everywhere I go, these Nebraska fans are always, you know, want to be represented.

01:42:53.000 I don't think they've beat us in like the last six or seven years.

01:42:56.000 What position did you play?

01:42:57.000 I was a tight end.

01:42:58.000 You were in the Rose Bowl, right?

01:43:00.000 I played in the Rose Bowl in 1991.

01:43:03.000 Were you blocking a lot or did you play pass?

01:43:06.000 So I caught, again the chat should be able to look this up, but I caught like 20, 22 balls over the course of my career.

01:43:14.000 Two touchdowns.

01:43:15.000 I had a good time.

01:43:17.000 It was a great way to pay for school.

01:43:19.000 All right, we got one for you.

01:43:21.000 Greg Cox says this guy was acting Attorney General.

01:43:23.000 Does he not read the filings that cross his desk?

01:43:26.000 Didn't he have access to the previous filings?

01:43:28.000 If he disagreed, why didn't he investigate?

01:43:30.000 As a DoD funds manager, I kept all paperwork for nine years to current.

01:43:34.000 Does the AG office not keep that standard?

01:43:40.000 I did read everything that crossed my desk.

01:43:42.000 I didn't retain my files.

01:43:43.000 I left on Valentine's Day of 2019.

01:43:52.000 All the documents should be there.

01:43:53.000 There's no doubt about that.

01:43:54.000 What can you do as AG?

01:43:55.000 Can you launch investigations?

01:43:58.000 Yeah, I mean, there's a lot you can do.

01:43:59.000 There's a lot you shouldn't do as well.

01:44:01.000 But you need to have your finger on the pulse of that institution.

01:44:08.000 And especially anything that's important, that's going to happen, you need to be fully briefed.

01:44:14.000 And if necessary, you have the authority and responsibility to insert yourself in it.

01:44:20.000 When Trump gets elected, he should appoint Marjorie Taylor Greene as Attorney General.

01:44:25.000 Can he do that?

01:44:27.000 Is she a lawyer?

01:44:28.000 Did you have to be?

01:44:30.000 I'm pretty sure to be the Attorney General.

01:44:32.000 You don't have to be a lawyer to be a Supreme Court Justice.

01:44:34.000 That's true.

01:44:35.000 You have to be learned in the law but you don't have to have a law degree.

01:44:38.000 I think to be Attorney General you have to be an attorney.

01:44:42.000 Who's a good lawyer?

01:44:43.000 Will Chamberlain.

01:44:45.000 The Justice Department was formed in the Grant Administration and I had the great fortune to go to the archives and see the original document signed Cash Patel?

01:44:56.000 Yeah, Jeffrey Clark.

01:44:56.000 by Grant. That was really cool. All right, well then we'll have to find a good lawyer.

01:45:03.000 Maybe he'll do Jeffrey Clark. Kash Patel? Yeah, Jeffrey Clark. Oh yeah, Kash. But Kash

01:45:09.000 was doing something else. He served some other role. He started as a public defender and

01:45:14.000 then he became a terrorism prosecutor. No, but what was he appointed to in the Trump

01:45:19.000 So he was the DOD Chief of Staff.

01:45:22.000 He was also on the National Security Council doing terrorism, and he was Rick Grinnell's deputy.

01:45:31.000 Deputy DNI, I think.

01:45:34.000 Alright.

01:45:34.000 The Anvil says, 15 years in corrections.

01:45:36.000 Do my job for a year and you'll change your mind on the death penalty. 0.93

01:45:40.000 That is a horrifying prospect because my position on the death penalty is that there are very, very bad people who deserve death.

01:45:46.000 But the issue isn't the bad people who deserve death, it's the innocent people who get caught in the system and get put to death.

01:45:51.000 So...

01:45:52.000 If the idea was that, if people were saying Robert Barnes for AG, I'd take it, absolutely. 0.98

01:45:58.000 If people are saying that, or if your idea is that I would go to a prison and see bad people and be like, well, I don't care about the innocent getting caught up in the system anymore because these people suck. 0.92

01:46:06.000 No, that's a terrifying prospect. 0.98

01:46:08.000 My issue is that Kamala Harris is a very bad person. 1.00

01:46:10.000 And imagine what kind of person Kamala Harris will be given the power to, where she had the power to, you know, decide who lives or dies. 1.00

01:46:18.000 I'm not saying it is her.

01:46:19.000 I'm saying, imagine someone like her in that position. 0.99

01:46:21.000 So you just think about that and then cross your fingers and hope it's not her.

01:46:25.000 Cause one day it will be someone like her.

01:46:27.000 Not a fan of that.

01:46:28.000 Not a fan.

01:46:29.000 But I look, I got to admit, I don't even know if there are, there's an answer.

01:46:33.000 Cause you got to do something with people who are duly convicted under due process.

01:46:37.000 Somebody gets convicted.

01:46:38.000 What do you do?

01:46:38.000 You say, we'll lock them in a box for the rest of their lives.

01:46:40.000 Cause it's better than killing them. 0.99

01:46:41.000 Well, you could be, you could be doing that to innocent people too. 0.95

01:46:43.000 And then there's still problems.

01:46:46.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:46:48.000 Smothers says, we heart ghost and lady emoji.

01:46:53.000 There you go.

01:46:54.000 Thank you.

01:46:56.000 The Swiss Army Man says, go state, beat Iowa, ISU, ISU, ISU.

01:47:01.000 I don't get it.

01:47:04.000 I don't get it.

01:47:04.000 I'm a proud Hawkeye, but you didn't hear me once say that, you know, Iowa State is an inferior football team.

01:47:12.000 I never say that.

01:47:13.000 He says, in all seriousness though, this is a great show.

01:47:16.000 Great that the show is attracting such great guests.

01:47:18.000 There you go.

01:47:19.000 Well, they didn't realize how much you're paying me to be here, right?

01:47:22.000 Oh yeah, no one knows.

01:47:23.000 We'll talk about that.

01:47:25.000 Yeah, a whole lot of nothing.

01:47:26.000 Sean46 says, thank you Tim Poole for all your hard work.

01:47:28.000 Great stuff.

01:47:29.000 Please ask Mr. Whitaker if he appointed attorney John Durham.

01:47:33.000 Was his son attorney John J. Durham also appointed special prosecutor?

01:47:39.000 Oh, I'm sorry.

01:47:40.000 If he appointed attorney John Durham.

01:47:42.000 Yeah, did you?

01:47:43.000 I did not.

01:47:45.000 So John Durham has a son who's also a federal prosecutor in Eastern District who worked a lot on the MS-13 cases for us.

01:47:54.000 And so it's sometimes confusing because there's two John Durham's at the Department of Justice.

01:48:00.000 All right, let's see.

01:48:03.000 Only One Truth says, research CSRQSM and ask Tim Pool if he has sold us all out.

01:48:10.000 Are you S-class Tim?

01:48:12.000 Are you gatekeeping the truth?

01:48:14.000 I have no idea what that means.

01:48:15.000 What on earth?

01:48:15.000 But it sounded funny so I wanted to read it.

01:48:17.000 Yeah.

01:48:19.000 Okay, anyway, moving on.

01:48:21.000 Social media, social management software.

01:48:24.000 I don't know exactly what it is though.

01:48:25.000 Oh, no idea.

01:48:27.000 Alright, let's grab some super chats.

01:48:29.000 I don't think we're gatekeeping the truth.

01:48:32.000 No, I don't know.

01:48:32.000 We do it two and a half hours.

01:48:34.000 You know what I love is when we have people like Marjorie Taylor Greene on and she's a member of Congress who just talks. 0.80

01:48:39.000 You know, there's no canned responses, no scripted talking points, no list of journalists to call from.

01:48:45.000 I don't know the truth.

01:48:46.000 I watched Jacinda Ardern, is that her name? 0.98

01:48:48.000 The New Zealand Ardern, being like, we are the arbiters of truth.

01:48:52.000 If you don't hear from us, it's not real.

01:48:54.000 Only the truth comes from us.

01:48:56.000 I'll tell you what I know or what I see, but you've got to question me.

01:49:00.000 I don't know what I know.

01:49:02.000 I can't guarantee that what I've been told is real.

01:49:05.000 Well, and most things are pseudo events.

01:49:08.000 There's very few real events.

01:49:10.000 Most are like press conferences or things that are just created.

01:49:16.000 I love it.

01:49:17.000 The idea that a corporation or a politician is going to come and give you the truth when a crisis happens.

01:49:22.000 It's like Deepwater Horizon spill.

01:49:25.000 Yeah.

01:49:25.000 they're gonna come out and tell you the truth? Yeah, right.

01:49:28.000 Dude, the dog could barf on the floor and like a dude's gonna lie to his girlfriend about

01:49:33.000 it. You think a major corporation's gonna come tell you the truth? No, come on. If you can't

01:49:38.000 handle like pissing off your neighbor when he comes over and he sees spilled trash, uh, 0.59

01:49:42.000 must've been a raccoon. You think they're gonna be like, oh, that oil in your, in your bay

01:49:46.000 and all your shrimp getting killed or whatever? Yeah, right.

01:49:49.000 Sega Infinite says, I usually watch IRL the day after on 1.5 speed.

01:49:55.000 Today I'm watching live.

01:49:56.000 It'll be the first time I'll be watching the after show as I just got my membership this morning.

01:50:00.000 Awesome.

01:50:01.000 Looking forward to seeing it.

01:50:03.000 I've saved a lot for the after show.

01:50:06.000 Oh good.

01:50:07.000 Oh yeah, because I mean, this has been the challenge.

01:50:10.000 It's like, we go through a list of like, okay, YouTube will ban that, YouTube will ban that, YouTube will ban that.

01:50:15.000 And so look, I say it often, there's a lot of people who are like, stop doing your show on YouTube.

01:50:21.000 And it's like, dude, YouTube dominates the space.

01:50:25.000 So we just try to create a bridge.

01:50:26.000 And that bridge is, You watch it here.

01:50:29.000 We put articles on TimCast.com.

01:50:30.000 We create shows on TimCast.com.

01:50:32.000 We have the members-only platform.

01:50:34.000 The reason why it costs money to be a member is because it costs money to host the videos and for us to keep going.

01:50:41.000 YouTube, you guys super chat.

01:50:42.000 It keeps things going.

01:50:43.000 There's ad revenue.

01:50:44.000 And we, I'd much prefer not to be on YouTube, but I think of YouTube as an excellent opportunity for regular people to get exposed to this content and then find our website where we can have very serious conversations.

01:50:56.000 Watch the conversation with Marjorie Taylor Greene last week.

01:50:58.000 We were talking about what the Republicans are going to do in November as it pertains to the 2020 election, things like that.

01:51:05.000 Plus you need to be able to afford the bourbon I'm about to drink.

01:51:07.000 That's right.

01:51:08.000 We gotta afford it.

01:51:09.000 We got some good bourbon for sure.

01:51:10.000 Good stuff.

01:51:11.000 Absolutely.

01:51:12.000 We don't pay our guests, but we take care of our guests.

01:51:15.000 I know.

01:51:17.000 Yo, we've had some people that we've invited on the show respond with like honorariums and fees.

01:51:23.000 Really?

01:51:24.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:51:25.000 And like nobody gets paid to come on here.

01:51:27.000 I said yes.

01:51:28.000 That was...

01:51:29.000 And then we screwed up the date.

01:51:32.000 Oh, is that what happened?

01:51:34.000 They're like, well, we have these other ten people.

01:51:36.000 You want to join them?

01:51:36.000 I'm like, no.

01:51:38.000 This is all going to be about Matt today.

01:51:39.000 There's a whole spotlight, Matt.

01:51:42.000 Did they get to see this?

01:51:43.000 This is gorgeous.

01:51:45.000 We're saving this for the members.

01:51:47.000 That is a spitting image.

01:51:48.000 That's well done.

01:51:49.000 I love it.

01:51:50.000 She chooses flattering pictures.

01:51:51.000 That's awesome.

01:51:52.000 I guess that's my official picture.

01:51:54.000 I don't know.

01:51:55.000 Probably.

01:51:56.000 It's really well shaded.

01:51:57.000 We have a wall of all of these pictures that Jessica has drawn of everybody.

01:52:02.000 We wanted to like NFT them or something.

01:52:04.000 Oh.

01:52:05.000 Create like a database.

01:52:06.000 Back in the day when that was a thing.

01:52:08.000 Yeah.

01:52:08.000 It still is.

01:52:09.000 It is?

01:52:10.000 Okay.

01:52:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:52:11.000 I'm not saying we're gonna get like a million dollars.

01:52:13.000 0.05 Ethereum.

01:52:14.000 Yeah.

01:52:15.000 Hey, that's money.

01:52:15.000 Or ETH as you guys call it.

01:52:18.000 If we sold one and someone paid 20 bucks for the official digital.

01:52:20.000 I own some crypto.

01:52:22.000 Yeah, of course.

01:52:22.000 What are your favorite cryptos?

01:52:25.000 I'm only in, I think, Bitcoin and Ethereum.

01:52:29.000 I do have some stable coin.

01:52:31.000 Let me see what it's called.

01:52:33.000 Bitcoin is in a league of its own.

01:52:34.000 Everything else is basically a stock and a bet with some company. 0.66

01:52:38.000 Gosh darn it, where is it?

01:52:39.000 I have some Gemini U.S. 0.94

01:52:41.000 dollar that's yielding me somewhere around five, six.

01:52:44.000 I'm not endorsing it.

01:52:47.000 I'm just saying I like yield.

01:52:50.000 Can't beat inflation right now.

01:52:51.000 Bitcoin took a big hit, but it literally does not matter to me.

01:52:55.000 I have the Bitcoin for the Bitcoin, not for its U.S.

01:52:57.000 value.

01:52:58.000 So I've been in Bitcoin since Bitcoin was a couple bucks.

01:53:02.000 Granted, when Bitcoin hit 20 bucks, I got all excited and sold it.

01:53:05.000 I was like, yeah, I made a couple hundred dollars.

01:53:08.000 Yeah.

01:53:09.000 Yep.

01:53:10.000 I think it's going to be interesting how government regulates crypto.

01:53:18.000 It's going to be a very, very interesting thing to watch because they don't understand it and so they might just kill it by the way they want to regulate it.

01:53:27.000 They'll try.

01:53:28.000 The thing about Bitcoin is you can't.

01:53:31.000 It's like trying to ban gold.

01:53:33.000 It's like, yeah, you can but you're not going to use it.

01:53:36.000 All right, Leo McDougall says Ammon Bundy is running for governor in Idaho, would be a great guest.

01:53:42.000 Yeah, interesting.

01:53:43.000 That would be a great guest.

01:53:44.000 Very interesting.

01:53:45.000 Idaho, Iowa, Ohio, it's all the same.

01:53:47.000 Yeah, it's all the same.

01:53:49.000 Michael Alio says China currently is experiencing a wave of modern feminism, but any wokeness that would affect nationalism is heavily suppressed.

01:53:57.000 Interesting.

01:53:58.000 Where did they get the idea that they're having feminism take over? 1.00

01:54:03.000 I don't know.

01:54:03.000 I know their banks are collapsing.

01:54:06.000 That's particularly bad for them.

01:54:07.000 I'm interested in what's on their internet.

01:54:10.000 Yeah, probably all just pro-communist party stuff.

01:54:15.000 What else can you say?

01:54:16.000 A lot of people say it's like educational content and I don't know.

01:54:22.000 We got an angry one here from BoxFedTV.

01:54:24.000 He says, how could you allow Wray and the FBI to get away with this?

01:54:27.000 They are hunting conservatives.

01:54:28.000 Wray should be in Guantanamo Bay.

01:54:32.000 Weak Republicans have allowed all of this.

01:54:34.000 You didn't fight.

01:54:35.000 Who ordered the Stone Raid?

01:54:38.000 Uh, this is my point.

01:54:40.000 It's that, that somebody in the field office in Florida ordered the stone, right?

01:54:45.000 Or it was, you know, it was higher up at FBI.

01:54:48.000 If you could get to who?

01:54:49.000 I mean, this is, you know, that's the, it's really hard to reach down that many layers and, you know, get to. 0.82

01:54:55.000 Fire them all.

01:54:56.000 Well, you can't.

01:54:57.000 They're all, I mean, this is, this is Trump's point.

01:54:59.000 Yeah.

01:55:00.000 This is Trump's point.

01:55:01.000 You have one political appointee at the FBI, 40,000 employees, and Chris Wray is the only political appointee.

01:55:06.000 Wow.

01:55:07.000 In order to fire federal employees, it's ridiculously difficult.

01:55:10.000 Yeah, well, President Trump was just talking about it today.

01:55:15.000 There's three levels of appeal after you try to fire somebody.

01:55:18.000 Each round takes about five years.

01:55:21.000 Wow.

01:55:22.000 Now, that's President Trump describing what somebody has probably told him or otherwise, but I believe that.

01:55:31.000 I know that it's very, very, very, very hard to get rid of a career employee.

01:55:37.000 Well, but you gotta get creative.

01:55:39.000 You know, you don't just go in and be like, let's start the appeal process, but we're gonna be firing you.

01:55:44.000 No, you can reassign people, you can move people around, you can get, you know, I mean, obviously, you gotta be, you know, it's... Put all 40,000 in Iowa.

01:55:53.000 That would be too much federal law enforcement.

01:55:56.000 We already have, you know, sort of... Probably a safe state, though.

01:55:59.000 It would be a very safe state.

01:56:01.000 Too much law enforcement, though.

01:56:03.000 People of Iowa would not want that many FBI agents.

01:56:05.000 Do you find that people in law enforcement in Alaska look for crime?

01:56:10.000 I mean, obviously some people are, but where it's not there.

01:56:13.000 I've heard the FBI will actually incite crime so that they can bust people that they think might be a problem in the future.

01:56:19.000 But did you get that vibe?

01:56:20.000 No, I didn't get that vibe.

01:56:23.000 It's a target-rich environment.

01:56:24.000 You have people committing crimes all day.

01:56:26.000 I mean, we were talking earlier about, you know, the fraud threshold is how many millions somebody has to steal before it's a federal case.

01:56:32.000 I mean, I'm not going to tell the story because it's not good.

01:56:37.000 But let's just say that there's plenty of work for the FBI to do without creating, enticing, or otherwise making people that wouldn't otherwise commit crimes, commit crimes.

01:56:51.000 Now, in the realm of terrorism and people that want to do harm to our country, I'm sure that there have been artifices that have been employed with people that are here illegally and otherwise.

01:57:04.000 Don't have the same, you know constitutional rights or due process rights, but you know, these are not example

01:57:10.000 I mean, I'm giving you a generic example that I don't have exact experience with I just think that you know

01:57:14.000 Once you're talking about people that want to blow up buildings or you know, create mass casualty events

01:57:18.000 I think you know kind of all bets are off All right, that would take it that would take a high high

01:57:23.000 threshold to get to that. You wouldn't just do that willy-nilly John L says whoopie also said that Jill Biden should be 0.98

01:57:30.000 surgeon general that she is an excellent doctor now I almost fell off my chair when I saw the clip.

01:57:34.000 It's an older clip.

01:57:35.000 It's making its rounds again.

01:57:36.000 Did you see this?

01:57:37.000 When she was like- I didn't, but I believe it.

01:57:39.000 Amazing.

01:57:40.000 And then they're like, I think she's a teacher.

01:57:41.000 And she goes, really?

01:57:42.000 I thought she was a doctor. 0.95

01:57:43.000 It's like, yeah, she's not even really a doctor.

01:57:45.000 It's like an honorary educational title or something like that.

01:57:49.000 Yup.

01:57:51.000 Let's see.

01:57:52.000 Paul Thongam says, want to see Ian be put in front of Donald Trump and talk about graphene.

01:57:57.000 We can get Trump on board.

01:57:59.000 Yeah, I think it's the bridge between the environmentalists and the national industrialists because we can start cleaning the air and make the greatest graphene production facility on earth and start selling it to the world and become a What if, like, we interview Donald Trump in the next few months, we go up to Jersey, and then just mid-show, Ian's just like, graphene, and Trump goes, wait, what are you talking about?

01:58:18.000 And then he just goes off on this tangent, and then Trump is like, I'm gonna make you graphene czar when I'm president.

01:58:24.000 And then he actually does, and then, you know, the guys in suits show up with a helicopter in the lawn, and they're like, Ian, you need to come with us.

01:58:31.000 That'd be cool.

01:58:33.000 We'll have to work together globally so we don't take too much out of the air.

01:58:37.000 It's gonna be a huge human... You need carbon from other places, man.

01:58:40.000 From asteroids, from the moon.

01:58:41.000 We gotta mine the moon, but I'm starting local.

01:58:43.000 You could burn fossil fuels.

01:58:45.000 Yeah, you can actually upscale fossil fuels.

01:58:47.000 You mine coal and then you hit it with lasers and turn it into graphene and it burns cleaner.

01:58:52.000 So I don't want to admit, but this is not the first conversation in the last five days that I've had on this topic.

01:58:57.000 Graphene?

01:58:58.000 Well, just the whole solutions to all the world's problems.

01:59:06.000 Ian's graphene is becoming influential on it.

01:59:09.000 We can fertilize the ocean with iron oxide to regrow plankton, which will cause fish blooms.

01:59:15.000 And then we can fragment the coral, called microfragmentation, into thousands of particles of coral, and then you put them all near each other and it all grows together.

01:59:22.000 You can reform coral reefs.

01:59:23.000 We can grow new coral reefs on Mars.

01:59:26.000 It's gonna be fun.

01:59:26.000 Okay.

01:59:27.000 Alright, Mavis says, it's HPS, Harry Potter syndrome.

01:59:31.000 Leftists want to run around pretending to be Dumbledore's army, not realizing they're the Death Eaters.

01:59:37.000 Well, considering it's the only book they've ever read, that's a good point. 0.52

01:59:42.000 This is funny, Seamus points out the only books the left reads are Harry Potter and The Handmaid's Tale, but considering they were both adapted into film and television, they probably just watched it.

01:59:56.000 I agree.

01:59:58.000 Unfortunately.

01:59:59.000 I like the I agrees.

02:00:00.000 Can I go back and read this super chat?

02:00:05.000 Oh yeah, there's tons.

02:00:07.000 I can't read all of them.

02:00:08.000 Yeah, we don't have time.

02:00:09.000 time. All right. Michael McCord says, Look at the text of

02:00:12.000 the Constitution. You can impeach any civil servant in the federal

02:00:15.000 government even better. They can't serve again. All right,

02:00:22.000 Of course I would not be surprised.

02:00:24.000 Probably been misplaced.

02:00:25.000 Yeah.

02:00:25.000 if the documents needed to prove Hunter and Joe Biden's involvement in illegal foreign affairs

02:00:29.000 happens to be in a building in Ukraine that no longer exists, of course I would not be surprised.

02:00:34.000 Probably been misplaced. Yeah. Like the guest list.

02:00:37.000 All right, let's grab a couple more.

02:00:40.000 Oh, so you admit that there's... No, not our guest list.

02:00:43.000 A certain guy with an island's guest list.

02:00:47.000 Ethan Holloway says, Hey Tim, you tell people to move to the country.

02:00:50.000 My family is from the Allegheny Mountains near you.

02:00:52.000 Rural lifestyle, Appalachia poor.

02:00:55.000 Blue city dem have money to buy our land to escape. 0.98

02:00:58.000 What makes you think they won't ruin our way of life?

02:01:01.000 That's a good point.

02:01:02.000 They might.

02:01:02.000 But I don't think the people that I'm talking to are those people, right?

02:01:06.000 The people I'm talking to want exactly what you're talking about.

02:01:10.000 So the Democrats who live in the cities who want to flee probably aren't watching TimCast, you know?

02:01:16.000 They should be.

02:01:18.000 I mean, they should be and then they should abandon their cult mentality.

02:01:22.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:01:23.000 But I think the people who watch will be like, you know what?

02:01:27.000 Um, actually, I'll say this without saying the name.

02:01:29.000 There's one of our friends who lives in the Newark area who's talking about coming out here, and they have great values, and they oppose all the same stuff you do, and this is what I'm saying, like, you can't just be scared that people are gonna come and try and corrupt your way of life.

02:01:41.000 You need to actively recruit, too, so just do the best you can.

02:03:58.000 Mary's on the billboard, Ian's on the billboard, we got Luke and Malice back up there, I'm up there.

02:04:02.000 I got my laser eyes.

02:04:04.000 Yeah, we gave Mary laser eyes on the billboard because I'm like, dude, if you're not ish posting, like, what are you even doing?

02:04:11.000 And then we have a 96 foot tall Roberto Jr., my rooster.

02:04:14.000 And then on the right panel, because it's two billboards, is the cartoon of him screaming into the sky and then the anime rooster battle.

02:04:21.000 Totally worth it.

02:04:22.000 This is what I'm talking about.

02:04:24.000 You know, somebody mentioned the irreverence.

02:04:25.000 They were like, I love it.

02:04:26.000 And I said, yeah, how come?

02:04:28.000 How come, like, we're not that successful.

02:04:30.000 I mean, we are successful, but you take a look at some of these bigger, well-known individuals, and they don't do fun stuff.

02:04:36.000 Like, just buy a bunch of billboards and put clowns throwing pies.

02:04:39.000 I don't know, just do something, right?

02:04:41.000 We'll figure it out.

02:04:42.000 Clowns throwing pies?

02:04:43.000 That your next idea? 0.80

02:04:49.000 Okay.

02:04:49.000 I'm just like, where's the fun?

02:04:51.000 Where's the weird?

02:04:53.000 Where's the irreverence?

02:04:54.000 Where's the shock to the system?
