On today's show, we discuss the latest in the Rittenhouse case, the Portland shooting, and the fact that the media won't even acknowledge what Donald Trump said at a press conference about it. Plus, we talk about why we should all vote for Trump.
00:01:25.000So, I know many of you were really excited we were going to have Kimberly Klasek on today, but she unfortunately had to cancel, so I wish her the best.
00:01:39.000So, you know, these things happen, and maybe we'll figure something out and have her on at a future date, but I'm sure she's doing something rad nonetheless.
00:01:45.000So we're just going to talk about what's going on with this press conference, and You know, Donald Trump liking my tweet and it being the only liked tweet on his page is funny because all of a sudden I'm getting hit up by like random people I've known for a long time.
00:02:00.000And I'm just like, you know, the craziest thing about this is it's not just this tweet from Trump.
00:02:05.000It's just in the past week or so, a bunch of people that I thought were like progressive anti-Trump Democrat are like whispering We love your show, man.
00:02:54.000So anyway, we've got a bunch to talk about.
00:02:56.000We've got this, and we've got some new details on what happened in Portland, and some other stories that are... We've got some satire to throw in the mix from the Babylon Bee, which is really, really good.
00:03:48.000So earlier today, as I mentioned, Donald Trump gave a press conference where he said, You know, this kid looked like he was being attacked and he may have been killed if he didn't do something.
00:03:57.000This is what the story says from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
00:03:59.000They say Trump mischaracterizes Kenosha protest shooting, defends Rittenhouse evening, uh, Rittenhouse evening before his visit to the city roiled by unrest and violence.
00:04:09.000They say, the president also mischaracterized the incident in which Kyle Rittenhouse was accused of using an assault-style rifle.
00:04:17.000Quote, that was an interesting situation.
00:04:20.000You saw the same tape that I saw, Trump said Monday during a White House news conference.
00:04:24.000He was trying to get away from them, I guess.
00:04:26.000Looks like, and he fell, and they very violently attacked him, and it was something we're looking at right now and it's under investigation.
00:04:40.000At the point of the evening, the president describes that he had already shot and killed one protester according to the charging documents and video footage.
00:04:47.000Trump's latest comments at the stage for what could be a highly charged visit from the most powerful man in the world at a time when the community is still recovering from a week of shootings and unrest that left a black man paralyzed, two white protesters dead, and businesses looted and burned.
00:05:32.000Because they have no idea what they're doing tech-wise, they have no idea what they're doing security-wise, and there needs to be, like, a purge and a start over.
00:06:10.000Look, the people, all of you listening probably did a Google search and found more information than they did.
00:06:15.000So is it intentional that they're lying?
00:06:18.000Specifically when they say that Trump mischaracterized the incident, and the mischaracterization is they're saying at that point he actually had killed somebody, you see they're omitting context to what Trump is saying.
00:06:33.000The New York Times has the story, I'm not sure, where did I put, there we go.
00:07:23.000I asked this question on Twitter when I took a screenshot from the medical examiner's report and it said he was hit, you know, once in the back.
00:07:32.000And so I was like, how did Kyle Rittenhouse turn towards him as he was lunging at him and hit him in the back?
00:07:38.000Well, they said they saw another muzzle flash, so I'm assuming that somebody else was shooting as well.
00:07:44.000Well, what the New York Times is saying is the muzzle flash was fired into the air.
00:08:31.000The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that says Trump is lying, that omits most of the details of the incident, or the New York Times that does a detailed breakdown going through video after video?
00:08:42.000I gotta admit, the New York Times, I think, did a really good job on this one.
00:08:45.000So he turns toward the guy, and the guy lunges at him first.
00:09:56.000I was reading this account from a medic who was talking about the skateboard guy who got shot by the Kenosha kid and how she ran to him trying to render aid and that his girlfriend was screaming and I'm like, yeah, dude, this is like, this is horrifying.
00:10:26.000Sure, the left is trying to claim this guy was a hero or whatever, but he hit him over the head with a skateboard.
00:10:31.000To what degree, because I'll tell you this, I watched the video, and it doesn't look like he did a full swing bash, but at some point the skateboard comes in contact with the kid's head.
00:10:41.000Then he tries grabbing the barrel of an AR.
00:10:45.000At a certain point, like, you gotta back away, this kid's being chased.
00:10:49.000This is the big problem with mob violence, is that, I've mentioned this, seeing it like, at the G20, I think it was the G20, where Luke Rutkowski got attacked.
00:10:59.000Someone just pointed at him and screamed, Nazi, and then random people started beating him and he wasn't.
00:11:11.000When they frame it like the skateboard dude was a hero, I guess in the context where he had no idea what was going on, and tried attacking a dude with a gun, sure, you could argue that.
00:11:20.000But when you look in the bigger picture of things, where Kyle is being attacked and chased by a violent mob that was out destroying property, and that dude did not live in Kenosha either, I'm sorry, man.
00:11:31.000It's not heroic to run up to a random guy you have no idea what's going on and try grabbing the barrel of a gun.
00:11:35.000Well, USA Today was saying that the victim, Kenosha, might have been trying to save someone.
00:11:40.000And honestly, I don't think it matters what he was trying to do if he was part of the mob that was chasing him.
00:12:37.000He said the ADL looked into Rittenhouse and found no indication from Rittenhouse's social media footprint that he is connected to any extremist movements.
00:12:46.000The criminal complaint filed by authorities said that Rittenhouse was attacked while running away.
00:12:50.000In which case... Oh, I actually have the article from the ADL.
00:12:54.000They say, uh... Okay, no, this is just the CBS.
00:12:57.000I'm not gonna read through the CBS article, because I think we've gone through the gist of it, but you get the idea.
00:13:00.000The ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks extremist activity, told CBS News, there were militia members at the Kenosha protest, but found no indication from Rittenhouse's social media footprint that he is connected to any extremist movements.
00:13:12.000His posts indicate he's an extremely pro-police, that he is extremely pro-police, and appears to have been a former police explorer, a career-oriented program for youth considering a career in law enforcement.
00:13:23.000Many of his social media posts use the phrase, Blue Lives Matter.
00:13:26.000According to the ADL, I'm assuming that the ADL thinks that's some kind of hate organization.
00:13:47.000Yeah, so I guess, they call black supremacy left-wing?
00:13:52.000Oh, you want to know what else they do?
00:13:54.000When you go to their page and you're looking at everything they list as like hate speech or hate organization like dog whistles or something, they have an entire list of numbers and numbers in different sequences that they consider forms of hate speech.
00:15:43.000Democrats rejected federal assistance every time Trump offered it.
00:15:47.000Media lied about Trump deploying secret police.
00:15:49.000Okay, so this is a very broad brush I posted here.
00:15:52.000I didn't say anywhere in the tweet, I supported Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:15:56.000Of course, that's an opinion, and they'll probably argue that because I'm just reporting what the New York Times said, that is support for or defense of.
00:16:05.000What I should have said is that the Kyle Rittenhouse situation is a good reason.
00:16:43.000Kyle should not have had to have been called by anybody to go out there.
00:16:46.000I think it was foolish that he went out there.
00:16:48.000Because, look man, I've been on the ground with these violent riots, I've seen what these people do, and that kid probably didn't understand the likelihood that he was going to pull the trigger was like 99.9%.
00:18:06.000The only thing that I can come up with to say is that even if you do decide that you need to step in and do something about it, you sure as heck don't send a 17 year old kid.
00:18:13.000Try to make sure that people who are responsible and mature and have a firm grasp of the situation and aren't running around in cowboy boots, which are really scary.
00:18:44.000Is a 17 year old not allowed to defend his own community?
00:18:48.000I think he is, but I have a counterpoint to your counterpoint, because the 18-year-olds that we send to fight wars are led by people who have experience.
00:19:06.000I actually was talking to a friend of mine who said that she felt what proves intent to kill was trigger discipline.
00:19:13.000Yeah, because he knows how to handle a weapon, and his finger clearly wasn't on the trigger most of the time, that means he made the decision to move his finger to firing position to shoot those people.
00:19:24.000And I was like, yeah, to defend himself.
00:20:04.000We're going to get demonetized because we got some swears in here.
00:20:06.000It says, holy S, Trump is defending Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:20:09.000He's defending a white supremacist who murdered two people in cold blood.
00:20:12.000He defended him from the lectern at the White House.
00:20:15.000You know, man, I don't know how we're supposed to have a functioning society if people just make stuff up.
00:20:22.000And just, you know, you know what the craziest thing is?
00:20:25.000Ultimately, I want to get to here is the gaslighting with Joe Biden.
00:20:29.000How he's basically Joe Biden came out and says he's condemned violence on both sides and is challenging Trump to do the same.
00:20:36.000And it's like when Trump, the last time he said there were bad people on both sides and some fine people on both sides, they turned it into a smear.
00:21:43.000Oh yeah, I've had Will on my show so many times.
00:21:45.000But my understanding, basically having talked to Will several times who is a lawyer, is you have to prove, if you're a public figure and someone defames you, you have to prove they knew what they were saying was false.
00:22:23.000So when it came to Nick Sandman, so for those unfamiliar, he's the Covington kid who was standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
00:22:29.000The Native American guy walked up to him, started banging a drum in his face, and then the media smeared him.
00:22:34.000He's won a bunch of settlements, by the way.
00:22:36.000But the trouble with him was they tried arguing he was an involuntary public figure, and they were writing about him because it was the news and he's a public figure.
00:22:44.000And I guess his legal team argued against that, saying he didn't do anything to be a public figure.
00:22:54.000But that's where it's getting dangerous.
00:22:55.000Is Kyle Rittenhouse now a public figure because he's all over the press and social media?
00:23:01.000I think it's ridiculous to try and argue he is.
00:23:05.000He didn't say anything to anybody, you know.
00:23:07.000Well, I would say I'm really, really happy that Britten House is being defended by Nick Salmon's lawyer.
00:23:14.000That gives me a great deal of confidence in what's going to happen.
00:23:16.000And the sheer amount of video around this incident, there's no, I don't, There are two new videos that have surfaced which make the circumstance really interesting.
00:23:27.000the first is that apparently after the shooting, one of the guys who was with Kyle Rittenhouse says,
00:23:33.000the police told us they were going to block it off and then send everyone our way because we
00:23:37.000could deal with it. So I tweeted about that and I'm like, dude, that Kadosha Peaton needs to
00:23:42.000answer for this because that sounds like they set him up.
00:23:46.000And I don't mean set him up like a bunch of cops were like, I got a plan to frame a kid.
00:23:50.000What I'm saying is, it's an extreme interpretation of what I'm trying to say, what I'm trying to say is, the cops knew there were kids down there armed, and were like, send the writers that way.
00:23:58.000And I'm not saying they had a grand scheme or grand intent.
00:24:00.000It was literally just like they knew the kids were there and they thought, eh, send the writers that way.
00:24:28.000This kid probably did have a lot of training, but no one on the ground was seemingly in control of the situation.
00:24:34.000I'd imagine if they actually had someone older and more experienced, he could have called them, told them, like, here's what we do, here's how we do it, here's when we move.
00:24:41.000And if they were together, he wouldn't have been chased.
00:24:43.000So you had a handful of kids And they weren't experienced enough.
00:24:47.000So when Rittenhouse got attacked and chased, the other guys should have been there to help him out.
00:25:32.000The rioters shouldn't have been out there rioting.
00:25:34.000So, I think the fact that they were out there burning down buildings, not this group specifically, but just in general, negates this idea that the skateboard guy was a hero.
00:25:43.000Yeah, so if we take into account that the kid who is 17 shouldn't have been out there with his gun, then the protesters surely should not have been out there either.
00:25:52.000Like, we have to apply the same standard.
00:25:55.000So the issue right now that I'm seeing, like the way CNN is framing it, and the friends, and these leftists, is that the skateboard guy, by himself, sees a dude running down the street with an AR, and they're screaming, he just killed somebody.
00:26:09.000And so in his mind, he was like, oh man, I gotta stop this guy before he hurts someone else.
00:26:19.000So, I'm, you know, if you go out with the intent to riot, see someone running down the street, and then you attack them, I'm sorry dude, that's not heroic.
00:26:27.000You don't know what happened, you don't know who you're attacking, and that's actually, it's interesting to me that I've talked to a lot of people about the good guy with the gun scenario.
00:26:35.000You have a lot of conservatives who say, how do you stop a bad guy with a gun, a good guy with a gun?
00:26:38.000And many of them said the reason it's a bad idea is that if everyone starts attacking each other, the cops have no idea who's the good guy or the bad guy.
00:26:45.000Well, I think sometimes you talk about when somebody steals a purse, or if somebody has a purse, and all you have to do is say, that person stole my purse, and then you cause all sorts of problems for them.
00:26:54.000So what is this story that you tell where you're like, If you have a purse, all you have to do is yell at somebody
00:27:43.000But I'd be willing to bet in a crowded New York City very few people would actually intervene in any way but create a mob violence situation and they will do anything.
00:27:52.000There's a video, I think it's Wisconsin, I'm not sure, where a guy, a regular guy, is standing in front of a store with his arms up And they're all screaming at him to get out of the way, and then one random Antifa just goes, he's a Nazi!
00:28:06.000And then people start screaming and hollering, because that Antifa guy knows, you say that, and then other people will just start physically attacking the individual.
00:28:14.000And then the person ends up running off.
00:28:15.000Fraud is a bunch of lemmings, that's for sure.
00:28:17.000Yeah, the interesting thing about all of the stuff we see with the far left is that it is what I would call, like, in terms of a weapon, if you were to, like, print an analogy, it's a blunt object.
00:28:29.000Whereas the extremist stuff we normally see with, like, mass shooters is, like, a knife.
00:28:35.000What I mean by that is, you attack someone with a knife, you're going to end them really quickly, and it's like a high, you know... It's intense.
00:28:57.000You run up to somebody and stab them, it's gonna be front page on the local news.
00:29:00.000You do it to several people, it'll be major news.
00:29:03.000And so what ends up happening is you have these terror attacks where the mainstream media sees it, and rightly so, goes like, whoa, this dude ran into a room with a gun and shot all these people!
00:29:12.000And then everyone talks about how right-wing violence is the most extreme, and it's like, it's certainly a problem, absolutely, we gotta have the feds stopping all this stuff.
00:29:20.000But with the loadsier stuff on the left, they do it a hundred times more often, but it never makes the news, so it keeps happening.
00:31:10.000Because we've all been listening to Trump scream his head off about ending the violence and having law and order.
00:31:16.000And they keep blaming him for it, even though it's like, We just had Ted Wheeler of Portland write a letter and say, I do not want your help ending the violence.
00:33:14.000I was talking to a family member who said that in the suburbs of Chicago, people are crossing their fingers that Kamala Harris will be a law and order candidate who is going to shut down the extremism.
00:33:57.000I'm saying there's a bunch of dopey, not-watching-the-news, being like, peaceful protests.
00:34:05.000Kamala Harris, on the other hand, I bet she's sitting in a situation room, and she's got a scowled face, and she's like, what are they doing in these buildings?
00:35:21.000Now we got a guy who was killed walking down the street.
00:35:26.000For those that haven't been following the story, his name was Aaron Danielson, Trump supporter, walking down the street in Portland, and it was targeted, this killing.
00:35:36.000So I'm sure most of you know by now this story has been ridiculously massive.
00:35:40.000And it's one of the things they asked Trump about in this press conference.
00:35:45.000The woman from CNN said, you know, you want to condemn far-left violence, put out your own supporters.
00:35:50.000There were Trump supporters who had paintball guns and stuff like that.
00:35:56.000And Trump said, you know, paintball, like, look, if they're going to defend themselves from violence, it's very different from the bullets that were used to kill one of, you know, his supporters.
00:36:07.000Well, first, just keeping it on Biden before we jump over to the update on Aaron Danielson, we got to talk about the, you know, the information that came out from a witness.
00:36:18.000Trump allies challenge Biden's tougher tone on riots, note support for fund bailing out protesters.
00:36:25.000Donald Trump is the most lawless president in American history, said Biden's spokesperson.
00:36:29.000The last thing I want to mention on this because when I saw that gaslighting, it really did shock me to my core.
00:36:36.000I was just like, The idea that Joe Biden can for months be like, look fat, you know, support the protests, peaceful, you know, and Kamala Harris could be like, why don't everybody pitch in and help, you know, bail out these protesters?
00:36:51.000Like, for her to tweet something like that, and then do a complete 180, where now he's— It was specifically that he's saying Trump is promoting this, when it was literally— Well, to be fair, I want to make sure I'm very careful in how I say this, Joe Biden did condemn the extreme violence several times.
00:37:11.000However, his staff has been supporting it, and the underlying protests they've absolutely supported, and almost exclusively, these protests have devolved into some kind of chaos.
00:37:58.000The problem is they've escalated everything to a certain degree where, yeah, there's not a lot of news in people walking around waving signs.
00:38:07.000So when this first started, I was thinking that if enough conservatives would get out and peacefully demonstrate that they could make a big difference.
00:38:14.000But I am not convinced anymore, because what's the point to peacefully protesting?
00:38:55.000They're posting fake videos from a... They're posting videos from someone else defending that crazy guy in Portland who slashed three people.
00:39:04.000And they're claiming it was him, and it's not.
00:39:07.000Yeah, and it's a top comment on the Reddit post.
00:39:09.000They're saying that this guy was defending that murderer dude.
00:39:23.000And I have to- I have to- I just- at a certain point, either we fire all these fake journalists, or we just accept they're doing it on purpose.
00:39:32.000Because every time I see something like that, all it takes is 15 seconds of Google searching and the right, you know, search term, and I can come up with what I need.
00:39:41.000This is the funniest thing about my job is that I get hit by people who are like, you know, thank you for doing the work and fact-checking.
00:39:49.000I see reviews where they're like, you know, Tim always makes sure he has proper sources.
00:40:10.000They claim I don't do journalism when I'm literally verifying videos and fact-checking and finding the sources for photos and videos.
00:40:15.000And I won't report on stories if the sources are questionable.
00:40:19.000So it's true, but it's amazing to me that often fact-checking a story requires a Google search, I find a Twitter video, I find a corroborating tweet, and then I see a story in the New York Times, and their source is law enforcement, and I'm like, looks good to me.
00:40:31.000But then these other journalists are just like, well, my grandma said that this guy was a Nazi.
00:40:38.000It's because they're working backwards.
00:40:39.000I'm fairly convinced at this point that they are starting from their conclusion, and they're working back.
00:40:45.000And it doesn't matter what gets in the way.
00:40:47.000They're going to say whatever needs to be said to get to their conclusion.
00:40:56.000Look, if you want to pull the George Carlin thing, when he said, imagine how stupid the average person is, now realize half of them, you know, half of them are stupider than that.
00:41:15.000Like Joe, for Joe Biden to come out and be like, Donald Trump, Joe Biden literally said your supporters coming out and like intimidating, threatening people.
00:41:24.000And I'm like, do you think that All right, listen, maybe the bottom 10% of intelligence are sitting there going like, whoa, those guys wearing all black and screaming Black Lives Matter were white nationalist Trump supporters.
00:41:55.000I know, I know, I get it, but like, how do you have three months of footage of people screaming, Black Lives Matter, and then Joe Biden goes, listen, those guys, actually, Trump supporters.
00:42:06.000And they just go like, oh, now, that's right, they were Trump supporters.
00:42:12.000Maybe we esteem politicians too highly, because I can't imagine someone else saying that and getting away with it.
00:42:25.000So here's the first thing I want to mention, right?
00:42:26.000If you watched my earlier segments, then you know a little bit about this, but the guy who was with Aaron Danielson, they called him Jay, I guess his middle initial, said that they were walking the other direction.
00:42:38.000when someone yelled, we got them right here, we got a couple right here, pull it out, here, yeah,
00:42:44.000they turn around, bang, bang. So it seems like these guys, we now know, based on the witness,
00:42:51.000it was the far leftists who yelled, we got a couple right here. Pull it out. It wasn't them.
00:42:56.000and And this guy, Aaron Danielson, turned around, and it does look like in this really crappy, grainy video that he fires mace or whatever.
00:43:03.000The left is trying to claim that was self-defense, but based on the witness statement for now, it's the only statement we have, they turned around and saw a guy raising a gun to him, and so he went for his mace.
00:43:13.000And it's like, man, maybe you see someone raising the weapon, but you don't know what to do.
00:43:17.000You have a quarter of a second to decide.
00:43:19.000And so he raised the mace and then took two to the chest.
00:43:22.000So this guy was targeted based on the witness statement, and I'll tell you what.
00:43:26.000The people who are trying to argue that the far leftist guy was defending himself from mace, it's like, you're gonna be hard pressed to convince, based on that video, that you saw someone drawing mace and therefore you decided to end their life.
00:43:37.000You could try and argue that I couldn't tell what it was, I saw him raising something at me so I defended myself, but it was almost the exact same time and they approached him, yelling, we got a couple right here.
00:43:57.000Portland Antifa protester who is under investigation for shooting a Patriot Prayer Trump supporter after being turned over to police by his own sister.
00:44:07.000So apparently, he was reported to police by his sister who recognized him in photos and videos from Saturday night.
00:44:12.000This was not, like, listen, the Trump supporters have a right to drive their cars around and say silly things.
00:44:21.000And so this is where it gets really, you know, really frustrating in terms of the national narrative from the left.
00:44:26.000They're like, I saw a journalism professor, her name is Emily Bell, I know her, I think she's a nice person, but she tweeted, You know, I had to call a family member scared because, you know, fake militias are invading our towns.
00:44:38.000I never thought I would see something like this.
00:44:40.000And then a bunch of other journalists were like, oh, I'm so scared.
00:44:43.000And I'm just, my response was, yeah, I feel the same way.
00:44:46.000You know, I had to deal with that, uh, several times when the riots were happening in Chicago with my family, you know, so the police definitely need to shut this down.
00:44:54.000But where, where, where is this, where's the outrage over the fact that for months these cities have been under siege?
00:44:59.000Were you not concerned about your family member when the far left was burning down buildings?
00:45:25.000And the reason I think this is, early on in the industry, I'm talking like a long, long time ago, and I guess journalism's been around for a really long time, you needed to know a lot to understand the world and create compelling information.
00:45:42.000I think one of the reasons that, like, this show does well and, you know, I think one of the reasons probably a lot of people watch is because I do a lot of research all the time.
00:47:04.000They're not passionate about their jobs.
00:47:05.000They're lazy and they just want to get through the day.
00:47:09.000Listen, when you've got an office full of people, like all these lefty journalists who are socialists or whatever, they all tend to be supporting this stuff.
00:47:48.000And I was like, no, you shouldn't be doing this.
00:47:50.000You should not be in this field at all.
00:47:52.000I feel like all these lazy journalists, like if you don't want to do research and if you're not interested in historical stuff that happened, That's not the right field for you.
00:48:06.000They're not good enough at anything to become noteworthy.
00:48:09.000So they're like, if I can just tell people whatever it is they want to hear, and I get elected, then I'll have my name in the history books.
00:49:55.000Whatever it is they're doing, they're getting little to no engagement, but I'll tell you what, man, some people are making insane amounts of money, like six figures.
00:50:36.000I doubt they're actually getting anything near that, but if they get 50 bucks every time they do it, they're incentivized to produce the most psychotic garbage imaginable.
00:50:51.000So this is one of the replies to this tweet from Felicia Sanmez, who said, The DHS and DOJ are announcing a joint operations center to investigate violent left-wing civil unrest, Trump says.
00:51:02.000This is a screen grab with 102.7 thousand retweets.
00:51:07.000I want to make sure you can see it right there.
00:51:09.000He says, The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the violent communists seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.
00:51:26.000Wow, is that a gross mischaracterization of what's happening now, and what happened back then!
00:51:40.000Anti-fascist action, or whatever it is.
00:51:43.000So what's really been going on, and I've talked about this quite a bit going back to the Battle of Berkeley several years ago.
00:51:52.000The far left is targeting peaceful rallies, and a lot of people criticize these Trump supporters for going to left-wing areas and holding rallies.
00:52:04.000In Berkeley, for instance, a bunch of Trump supporters went to the Free Speech Plaza or whatever, because it was historical Berkeley, you know, 1970s.
00:52:11.000And then Antifa showed up and started beating and attacking people, throwing explosives, pulling out knives, improvised explosives and things like that.
00:52:17.000And I'm like, OK, no one made you attack these people.
00:54:01.000The horrifying thing about this, I was thinking about it, are there any stories of Trump supporters, just like a dude in a MAGA hat walking up and executing a leftist or anything like that?
00:54:24.000I'm really hoping nothing like that happens because now I'm terrified of what happens if a group like Patriot Prayer decides to try to retaliate.
00:54:38.000Then you're going to have all of these Democrat operatives and the press sitting in their chairs salivating like, you step on a twig and we are going to write a front page story claiming you did horrifying things.
00:55:08.000I should say the far left, these extremists, they want to create a circumstance where the right knows that if they step out of line in any way and they've come out, they'll start the fight and the press will defend the extremists.
00:55:18.000This is kind of clever because you're not actually saying you cannot come out.
00:55:21.000You're not actually saying you may not speak.
00:55:24.000You are telling them that if they do, they'll suffer for it.
00:55:27.000But they're not actually, they're not overtly saying it's all very covert.
00:55:31.000And of course, because the media has their back, it's going to work.
00:56:25.000And I feel like That, what we're seeing right now, even with Tucker Carlson, is Trump is inflating all media viewership.
00:56:34.000I think everything drops dramatically if Trump loses, but internet shows, particularly like this one, are going to survive and flourish.
00:56:44.000I was thinking about something, and I'm going to, I mentioned, I think I mentioned this last week, but I was thinking about it again today, especially with Donald Trump tweeting, liking my tweet.
00:57:13.000And I know this may seem like I rarely talk about myself this directly, but in the past month with YouTube podcast and Facebook, it's over 100 million views across all of my content.
00:57:25.000And, uh, it's like, you know, three hours and 40 minutes a day of content.
00:57:29.000So it's, it's kind of, it's, it's, these are big numbers.
00:57:34.000Apparently, uh, I'm getting hit by people, you know, Trump is liking my tweet, I'm getting a bunch of attention, and the media completely ignores everything about me.
00:57:41.000In fact, somebody tweeted about me saying something critical, and some other leftist replied, who?
00:57:46.000Like, haha, no one, no one cares who he is.
00:57:49.000There's a really funny tweet about a year ago or so, where some leftist journalist tweeted something like, Whatever happened to that Tim Pool guy?
00:58:03.000And I'm just like, it's really amazing.
00:58:06.000And I think this, you know, when I reflect on myself and my work, is a really good example of how broken the media is and why it's going to die.
00:58:13.000If they had any idea what was actually going on outside of their mainstream bubble, their Beltway bubble, the kind of conversations people were having, then they'd be like, what's up with this dude who's getting 100 million views a month, per month, who just got a like from the president?
00:58:29.000Instead, all these outlets that were talking about Trump liking my tweet were saying things like, Trump liked a tweet, you know, from a user saying, Kyle Rittenhouse is a good example of why I decided to vote for the president.
00:58:40.000They didn't stop to be like, this guy's got 650,000 followers and like, who is he?
00:58:57.000Like you look at CNN and man, do they have no idea what's going on.
00:59:01.000But how could it be that, you know, like right now, 52,541 people watching live, you guys are awesome by the way, are watching live and, you know, having conversations, talking about all this, and they have no idea it's happening.
00:59:37.000So I guess the way I put it is, the New York Times subscriber base is going up while every other news organization is collapsing, giving this false idea to these journalists that they're doing better when they're actually going down the drain.
00:59:49.000If they had any idea the conversations that were happening outside of the Beltway bubble among moderate, disaffected liberals, the politically homeless, and conservatives... You mean everyone?
01:00:37.000People are leaving the Democratic Party or they're switching parties, which is giving Republicans a boost and narrowing the gap between the two parties.
01:01:15.000I think we're getting to the point and, you know, when you see Brian Stelter on CNN and he says something and you're just like, dude, do you have Google?
01:01:24.000Because they all get their news from Twitter and they all follow each other on Twitter.
01:01:28.000And there have been progressive journalism professors who said people have an unhealthy Twitter obsession and these journalists need to get off of it.
01:01:35.000I remember when there was a big trend where I think it was BuzzFeed.
01:02:35.000Dude, it's so weird because I look, you know, people have said the similar things to me.
01:02:40.000Clearly, I just rag on Democrats all the time, right?
01:02:42.000Therefore, once the political battle is over, what am I going to talk about?
01:02:46.000And I'm like, I'm gonna go back to talking about the exact thing I was talking about, because I was making content for the last several years.
01:02:53.000I have a video, I'm pretty sure it's still this way on my main channel, Timcast, that the default video is me talking about Jordan Peterson and cultural issues.
01:03:26.000I mean, you know, maybe I should take that back.
01:03:29.000I think they're already squeezing, like, you know, it's, it's, you know, what is it, extra virgin olive oil is when they, like, get the first fresh drop, and then... Yeah.
01:03:37.000Oh, no, that's extra, extra, isn't it?
01:03:39.000Basically, you've got a dry, withered husk of an olive, and they're, like, pounding it with a mallet, like, give me something!
01:03:44.000There's, there's, or, or, better, better way to put it, they're scraping the bottle, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard, they're pulling up wood chips.
01:03:50.000You know, people started telling me, oh, man, I'm seeing a bunch of wood chips lately, and I was like, oh, I know, right?
01:03:55.000When they write a story, like Vox did, where they said something like, what did they say, 40 million Americans have alt-right ideas or something?
01:04:03.000Yeah, Google that, can you Google that?
01:04:21.000So this is actually from a little while ago, but they're saying that millions and millions of white Americans are just thinking on the same lines as the, you know, charlatan people.
01:04:32.000That's literally the game they're playing.
01:04:33.000They're like, well, the white nationalists believe that we should have strong borders.
01:04:36.000Therefore, these people think like them.
01:04:39.000Dude, I have no patience for that nonsense because it is possible to have.
01:04:44.000So what I notice a lot is just a tiny little grain of truth at the bottom of everything.
01:04:49.000And you can go the wrong way with it, like white nationalists, or you can be sane and reasonable about it, like a normal person.
01:04:55.000But the fact that there is a common grain of truth, they just run wild with it, and it's nonsense.
01:05:02.000It's getting to the point where it's really difficult to actually cover anything.
01:05:07.000So, for instance, there have been several stories that I know to be true and have fact-checked, but NewsGuard, the third-party fact-checking source, will give it like, no, this is a bad source.
01:05:17.000And then you'll get, actually here's a really good example.
01:05:20.000Take a look at this story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
01:05:22.000This is one of the first stories we highlighted.
01:05:29.000We got three journalists on this one claiming that because Trump said Rittenhouse was attacked and he may have been killed, he's mischaracterizing it.
01:06:21.000If people on Wikipedia are saying things like, Tim Pool's career stopped at 2017, and there's no new information about him at all on anything he's done yet, like since he left Fusion, how do we update this?
01:06:33.000And like, apparently people are saying things about, I recently came out in support of Trump, therefore they should add it, and they're like, there's no articles about this.
01:07:01.000But they're not attuned to what's going on with the Internet and regular people and where they're consuming news in digital ways.
01:07:06.000So they have no idea that conversations like this happen every single day to, I think, what we're at... 3.5 million viewers per day across all my content.
01:07:21.000And that is kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy, because I think to them, if an article is not written about something that happens, it didn't happen.
01:07:33.000Well, actually, maybe I didn't tweet it.
01:07:35.000Maybe I was about to when I deleted it.
01:07:36.000How is Wikipedia supposed to function as an encyclopedia if the only criteria for recording important historical information is that some 22-year-old college grad who makes 30,000 a year has to blog about it?
01:07:52.000Certainly it is of merit that, you know, like the work I do and over the past several years, but the journalists don't know what's happening.
01:08:00.000So again, I'm not trying to humblebrag or anything.
01:08:04.000The point I'm trying to bring up is that there's a substantial audience here.
01:08:09.000The media has no idea it's happening while their ship is sinking.
01:08:12.000We're all on a ship sailing towards golden shores and rainbows and you know people are having piña colada and they're singing and their ship is headed towards the waterfall and they're going full speed ahead I think there's land that way and we're like what are Going the wrong way.
01:08:32.000Well, they've simultaneously gotten bigger and bigger heads as they've engaged on social media and gotten more and more followers.
01:08:39.000At the same time, their quality is decreasing as they're outsourcing and they forget, you know, how to Google things and how to research things and how to actually do investigative journalism.
01:08:49.000Like the guy who did the piece for The New York Times, I think it was Christian, whatever his last name was.
01:09:57.000I think one of the easiest ways to explain it actually If you have one person, and they have 100,000 followers, and that one person says, hey everybody, follow Jim!
01:10:23.000Like, that's not really an improvement, I don't really think.
01:10:25.000So this is actually a clever tactic that... I won't name the business, but... Business model.
01:10:32.000So what you can do is you can duplicate your follower count for advertisers by creating new accounts and having people follow multiple accounts of yours.
01:10:40.000So you create a Twitter account, you get 100,000 followers, you create a second account, and you say, hey everybody, follow me on this account too.
01:10:46.000Then you can say, I have 150,000 followers.
01:10:47.000You can say, I have 150,000 followers.
01:10:49.000They imagine 150,000 people standing around when in fact it's the same 100,000.
01:10:54.000But you do that 10 times and you have a network now and you say, our network has over a million
01:11:06.000It's not technically a lie, but it's not completely honest.
01:11:12.000So if you want to lead people to assume things... Anyway, the point I'm bringing up is, these journalists probably have a much smaller user base than they realize, but they see all these journals, all these followers, and think that they're big, when in reality it's like, you know, a smaller group between them.
01:11:26.000Maybe, you know, it's a larger group, but I think that still is a big... plays a big role in this.
01:11:31.000Well, I think that's part of having a bubble in the first place, is following the same journalists and having the same ideas and kicking the same things around and retweeting to the same people and getting those retweets and comments and everything.
01:12:24.000She tweeted something like, I thought Tim Cass was being hyperbolic when he talked about Civil War after seeing, what's it, Val Demings, I think her name was, say this is just what happens, you know, the guy gets shot in Portland.
01:12:34.000Yeah, I may as well have just pulled a Siddiq Khan.
01:12:40.000Paraphrasing basically that she thought I was being hyperbolic and it turns out I probably wasn't.
01:12:45.000When a year ago, one year ago, I had some people over to my house, some video producers, and they were talking to me about potential projects and what they wanted to focus on, and I told them, here's what's going to happen in the next year and here's what you need to understand.
01:13:03.000And I'm not kidding when I say I predicted the BLM riots 100%.
01:14:35.000I think they have to announce themselves and they can make a perimeter.
01:14:40.000You can't, because people have a right to defend themselves too, and you're creating a circumstance to put potentially innocent people in harm's way.
01:14:47.000So that's one of the things he could have done.
01:14:49.000But more importantly, it was Obama and Biden during all of that stuff.
01:14:53.000They consistently took the left-wing view of everything.
01:14:58.000The National Guard was deployed to Ferguson.
01:15:01.000They sent out police, very much so under Obama's watch.
01:15:05.000Racial tensions escalated, particularly with the Black Lives Matter.
01:15:08.000See, people have a hard time believing me when I tell them that.
01:15:11.000I'm like, I really think that Obama did more to undermine race relations in this country than you could possibly imagine that the first black president would.
01:15:23.000Like, OK, so listen, off the top of my head, it's the thing he mentioned, if I had a kid, Trayvon, and it's very much— Baltimore and Ferguson and stuff.
01:15:42.000But I think the fault of these issues, for the most part, lands in localities.
01:15:46.000It lands in the media, and for the most part, the media and the activists.
01:15:49.000Okay, but do you think that because the media was entirely in Obama's pocket, do you think that they gave him more credence than he might have even necessarily deserved when he was saying his race-based things?
01:16:02.000And then, because they go after Trump, they fan the flames of this.
01:16:05.000The media, in my opinion, is the biggest player here, and I think social media as well.
01:16:11.000For instance, Cassandra Fairbanks got suspended from Twitter, she's a conservative journalist, because she tweeted that Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong.
01:17:10.000And anybody who dares challenge them, they smear.
01:17:14.000I mean, I'm not gonna get into it, but Gamergate, for instance, was very, like, from my view of what it was, and I probably don't know a whole lot about it, you get a bunch of people saying, hey, these journalists are taking money from the advertisers, and then they're writing bunk articles, and the next day they're like, a bunch of white supremacists are harassing us.
01:18:49.000Is it radical to suggest that the United States should be able to defend itself and that its allies should pay their fair share towards defense spending when we send our troops over to their jurisdiction?
01:19:20.000Is it radical to suggest we should build trains and phase out air travel and ban all fossil fuels?
01:19:29.000So yes, yes, because radical, if we got into the definition of radicalization, but the word radical, the root word, especially of a change or action relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something far-reaching or thorough.
01:20:12.000And as long as I've existed in this country, we've had border security, and border patrol, and immigration services.
01:20:20.000It is radical to me, as a regular American, to be told, abolish private healthcare, which is literally what Bernie said, I'm not exaggerating, the Green New Deal, banning fossil fuels, And a moratorium on deportations, and decriminalizing border crossings, and providing universal health care to non-citizens, I'm like, that's psychotic!
01:20:47.000So this is, okay, yeah, I'll let you finish what you're thinking, but Heather Haying made this point a while ago, and this is something that Jordan Peterson talked about a little bit.
01:20:54.000You don't fool with something that's been in place for a very long time unless you have an extremely good reason for doing so.
01:21:03.000Because things are in place, often, for a reason.
01:21:06.000I'm not talking about flaws in our society like racism and sexism and all that stuff.
01:21:11.000I'm talking about things like borders.
01:21:13.000Things that every single country in the world has.
01:21:16.000You mess with those kinds of things, you mess with the nuclear, you mess with the family at your own peril.
01:21:22.000These are things that you definitely do not understand.
01:21:24.000You do not understand the implications of what you're trying to do.
01:21:27.000And when you do radical things, that's exactly what you're doing.
01:21:30.000And I know without a doubt by looking at people like AOC, that they're not thinking past stage one.
01:21:35.000This is why it's fascinating to watch Joe Biden when, I think he said something today, do I look like a dirty socialist?
01:22:44.000So it's no surprise, to go back to what I was saying, that we can have these conversations, that we can get tremendous viewership, not just me but many other channels, and the media has no idea it's happening because they're in the radical bubble.
01:22:58.000To them, Trump is far right because they're far left, whereas Trump's actually a moderate relative to American policy.
01:24:29.000And you might have like a, you know, what's the right word?
01:24:33.000You might have a, an intense reaction.
01:24:35.000You'll have an existential crisis for sure.
01:24:37.000Yeah, so a lot of people who go through this, you know, they probably resist it.
01:24:40.000Like, when we were talking to Brendan Strzok from WalkAway, and he said that he did all this research, and he was willing to let it all go if Rachel Maddow produced some hard evidence against Trump.
01:24:49.000Like, he had watched all these videos, he had seen that they were lying about Trump, and then Rachel Maddow said, I got his tax return.
01:24:54.000He's like, OK, I will ignore everything I read if she has something.
01:24:58.000That was such an insight because it was like, I understand that feeling because I've made some hard changes in my own thinking and I've been like, you know what?
01:25:06.000It would be easier if this weren't true.
01:25:08.000I would like this to not be true, but it is.
01:25:13.000Because I think about this, but I guess You know what one of my advantages is is a bit of like existential nihilism in a sense where I feel like you should go through life with a smile on your face because I actually you know I wonder if this is kind of like faith in a sense where it's like I feel that there is a plan a purpose that the world is the world is what it is.
01:25:38.000You're not, no one, you deserve nothing.
01:25:51.000Oh yeah, I know, you think about that all the time.
01:25:53.000And I'd just laugh and I'd be like, well, what can you do about it?
01:25:57.000And I think this comes from, you know, when I was younger, I remember my dad telling me, he was telling me about the Great Depression and how people were killing themselves because they lost all their money in the stock market and stuff.
01:26:08.000And I was like, why would they do that?
01:26:09.000And he's like, if you made a million bucks and lost it overnight, you'd be angry too.
01:26:16.000Well, what do I have to do now to get what I need?
01:26:18.000If you go through life with that kind of view, then you're not going to be this negative, angry person who's refusing to accept reality, right?
01:26:28.000So here's the ultimate point I'm trying to make.
01:26:30.000When I see news and it's like, you know, Donald Trump did a bad thing because the orange man is bad, my reaction isn't like, how dare they lie about Trump?
01:26:38.000I go like, I wonder if this one's true.
01:26:41.000Probably isn't, but I'm gonna read it anyway.
01:27:02.000And while I do believe meritocracy is the best way to go about, you know, Building functioning systems, you could be the greatest guy in the world doing all the hardest work in the world and then someone could walk up and just like crack you over the head with a bat and you're gone.
01:27:32.000He talks about, he says, if you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue or walk with kings and not lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you but none too much, you're basically, this is what makes you a man of character.
01:27:49.000If you look at people and you're like, you know what?
01:28:03.000And that's probably the most well-rounded philosophy you can have when you're looking at this crazy world that's currently on fire and insane.
01:28:11.000Like, what else are you supposed to do?
01:28:13.000Be a little bit nihilistic, care about the people around you, do the best you can, and look for truth.
01:28:22.000I remember I was late for school once because we lived on the south side of Chicago and there's trains that go through the south side.
01:28:28.000And the trains, man, wow, they're long.
01:28:31.000You ever waited a train and it's like the freight and you turn your engine off on your car because you're like, I'm going to be here for 20 minutes.
01:29:32.000I was thinking it's like some some martial arts movie where he's explaining like going with the flow and having the like like you're in a river, you know, and it's you're you're flowing downstream and you can try and resist it or you can steer yourself and use that speed and control it.
01:29:50.000A better way to explain it is I can't control the wind, but I can adjust my sails.
01:31:23.000That reminds me of that David Firth... News Hasn't Happened Yet segment.
01:31:29.000If you guys haven't seen David Firth's stuff, you've really got to watch it because the dude's a genius.
01:31:33.000But yeah, he has a segment called The News Hasn't Happened Yet, and that so reminds me of it.
01:31:37.000It's like, the riots are peaceful, the fires aren't really that bad, protesters burning down buildings are also peaceful, Trump is inciting this, he didn't actually say anything to incite it, and he's sending out troops because he's a fascist, but the troops actually aren't there, and looting is actually a good thing.
01:32:03.000Trump is trying to send out Gestapo secret police to round up protesters while he's inciting the violence and he won't stop the violence because it's Trump's America and looting is good because the protesters are doing it and it's reparations.
01:32:14.000You know, what's funny to me is if you sat them down and you asked them to explain what they were thinking, you know they wouldn't be able to.
01:32:34.000Well, no, there is like to get them out and show them like, so I was talking to a friend of mine who was very much like experiencing their first time through the flames.
01:32:43.000And I sent him an article and they're like, huh?
01:32:45.000And you can clearly see when people starting to realize, like, wait a minute, like, what is, what is this all about?
01:32:51.000The things I was reading before said this, that the Orange Man is bad.
01:32:59.000I've mentioned this several times, but having gone to Trump's rallies early on, I think, inoculated me from Trump derangement syndrome because it changed my assumptions.
01:33:19.000I always tell people, if you think that you know what the media is doing, you should just watch Trump speak and then watch what they say about it.
01:33:27.000Because I always kind of place my bets.
01:33:28.000I'm like, which way are they going to go with this?
01:33:30.000Are they going to go two different ways?
01:33:31.000Different outlets are going to say different things about the same thing that was said?
01:33:42.000Where, it wasn't, I didn't put this tweet together, but I wasn't able to properly attribute the photo because it was put together by someone with a very offensive name that would get me banned from Instagram.
01:35:12.000And so what happens is, when you have this for four years, and people build a worldview off of this, you can't change that because they'll go insane.
01:35:22.000Well that's what I mean there's nothing to pop them out of like there's nothing to pop them into out of their little bubble where do you go from there they've been building this for years and there's there's nothing and if you sit them that's what I mean if you sit them down and ask them to explain what they're thinking they have nothing.
01:35:37.000This feels like a grand experiment in like mass delusional mass like media induced paranoid delusional complexes or whatever.
01:36:33.000The people who are wrapped up in bubble world where they're watching fake news certainly think Trump is like a demon from outer space who are like, you know, the child of a demon and an alien or something trying to eat human beings and destroy the planet.
01:38:19.000But yeah, it's the old school lines, and I'm glad it has any internet at all.
01:38:23.000If we want to get the high quality stuff for the show, we've got to lay actual fiber optic lines, because it's the middle of nowhere.
01:38:29.000And, uh, that's gonna be fun, but it's a massive place, we've got a lot of plans, and that's the good news, which means I'm definitely gonna be looking for people to do fact-checking.
01:38:37.000Because there's a bunch of stories that I've gone through, and they're like, I'll do a segment and it'll just be tweets.
01:38:41.000And I'll be like, here's a bunch of tweets from people.
01:38:43.000Yeah, we need someone to fact check and write it up and so I'm gonna be probably hiring a couple people to handle that at the new place out in the middle of nowhere.
01:38:51.000So if you want to live in a hippie shack, you know, there you go.
01:38:54.000Out in the middle of nowhere, campground, you get a TV.
01:40:08.000A lot of people, you know, when I saw that video of the dude in Portland getting gunned down, and you see his friend being held back screaming?
01:40:16.000But I'll tell you what, I don't like these Antifa rioters or whatever, but when I heard the story about the girlfriend screaming for her boyfriend who got shot in the heart, I felt the same way.
01:40:23.000I don't want anybody to experience that pain.
01:41:55.000On the right, it's that the deaths that people died from something and they also had COVID, whereas the left is saying people died from COVID and they also had these things.
01:42:37.000And there should be, because if we want to have conversations about how to properly reopen and save our society, then we need a proper debate.
01:42:43.000And instead of banning people who say potentially the wrong thing, you need to have them engage in the conversation and then correct it.
01:42:52.000This kind of bothers me because I did work at a hospital.
01:42:55.000A comorbidity is something that most people might not be familiar with.
01:42:58.000A comorbidity is just some disease that you have along with something else.
01:43:04.000I think what people are not understanding is that most Americans, given the standard American diet and also the age of the people who are infected with coronavirus, COVID-19, whatever, tend to have comorbidities.
01:43:16.000That means that those things get recorded on the cause of death.
01:43:19.000But that would mean that the people did die of COVID.
01:44:06.000I remember a tech journalist telling me that tech journalism was the bottom the bottom rung of journalist society because they get free products and write about them.
01:44:35.000But if it's a fine phone, like it's a great phone, it feels great, then they get the next one.
01:44:38.000And they keep getting sent free phones months in advance, and they show off to all their friends, look I got the new super phone or whatever.
01:45:02.000Zach Jordan says, I'm a 26 year old army veteran.
01:45:05.000I have not voted for anyone since turning 18.
01:45:07.000What has happened in this country over the course of this year, you reporting on it and encouraging people to look many places for info has made me aware I will be this year.
01:46:36.000Could the news networks be sued for inciting a riot due to false reporting, endangering the public trust, or does Section 230 prevent that?
01:46:42.000Well, Section 230 doesn't have anything to do with TV.
01:48:37.000Yeah, I think one of the challenges for a lot of the mainstream outlets is they'd have to be like, Tim Pool describes himself as a disaffected liberal who supported Bernie Sanders in 2016 and has now decided to vote for Trump.
01:48:46.000Yeah, they really don't want to get into that.
01:49:56.000We did a poll and found that the biggest self-identified group were libertarian, followed by Trump supporters, then liberals, and there was even like three or four percent who consider themselves to be progressive leftists.
01:51:37.000Dr. Rollergator says, I looked outside my window and didn't see anyone dying of coronavirus, so I don't know what the heck Biden was talking about this afternoon.
01:51:45.000What, did he say something about that?
01:51:46.000No, he was talking about, like, how many people had died.
01:51:47.000Like, 101 year, 100, you know, things.
01:52:24.000Let's see, Talbot Link says, I showed my dad an unedited video of the Molotov toss as the kid in Kenosha after the Brightness washed video in the news Friday night.
01:53:32.000I think the bigger issue is that the progressive left in this country is so divergent from the rest of American society, that's what's going to lead to chaos.
01:53:43.000Well, they are the element of instability.
01:53:46.000Like, you can look at the center, you can look at the right, and there is not this far-flung ideology, these crazy fanatic people.
01:53:56.000I got an email from a Democrat asking if I would support them, and I said, like I do, you know, it was from the volunteer from the campaign, does so-and-so support the repeal of Prop 209 in California?
01:54:10.000And they responded with, you know, we're not based in California, but I assure you we can discuss ways in which the candidate will help fulfill affirmative action goals.
01:54:20.000And I was like, you just answered the question.
01:54:25.000So the trick is, Repealing Prop 209 strips the civil rights language from the California Constitution, and they call it advancing affirmative action.
01:55:00.000Well, I'm not saying the kid is good, and I think the kid was foolish to be out there, and I think the kid's worthy of criticism.
01:55:05.000I also think if you chase after someone, and someone fires a gun, and they throw something at you, You're not going to convince me that the kid wasn't defending himself just because the earlier day he was a bad person.
01:55:16.000I would say that this is almost on par with the guy who, okay, so the guy who shot the gentleman in Portland the other day.
01:55:23.000People were saying that he was basically a criminal because he had brought a gun to a protest in the past.
01:56:14.000But I don't like the idea that people are going to say something like, if only we took his gun away, then he wouldn't have murdered somebody.
01:56:23.000However, I think right now the argument is the law is the law.
01:56:26.000And if he broke the law, then what he should have done is, after he got arrested for it, filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the gun law, and then potentially tried to get it overturned.
01:57:06.000Well, and if he were committed to murdering someone, if he were really wanting to go after a Trump supporter, it wouldn't have mattered if he'd done it with a machete or a gun or a blunt object.
02:00:23.000Except, I guess people in Chicago complain because the people in Milwaukee brew beer, and then it flows down all the garbage into Chicago, and then we swim in it.
02:00:32.000Eric Postechuk says, I really feel like Donald Trump needs to press the fact the law requires that a governor must accept federal approval.
02:00:41.000It seems like the left is baiting Trump to seem fascist and blaming him when he isn't.
02:01:28.000I'm just saying we're not at that point yet where civil society is broken down and isn't functioning and Trump has to restore everything back to the way it was.
02:01:34.000We have so many cities right now that are up in arms.
02:02:25.000And especially now, if Trump did it, they'd just be like, oh no, we're under, we're being taken over, and then they'd secede, or whatever dumb thing they were talking about doing.
02:03:19.000What I think is really funny is Well, I think, I'll just be reiterating the same point, that the left thinks being a normal American is radical.
02:04:53.000The Unity 2020 is to find two people that the left and the right agree on and have them run together and then switch vice president, president every term or whatever until America gets back on track.
02:06:06.000But there were people who were screaming that, you know, Obama was the end.
02:06:10.000And South Park made an episode about it where everyone's like, and I'm like, so I do see the rise of intersectionality as overtaking over time and it needs to be stopped and we need to have a big cultural push against it.
02:06:21.000And I've seen, you know, professors and historians say there's never been a time like this in history.
02:06:52.000I'm not, I don't feel like I'd be voting for less or two evils.
02:06:55.000I feel like I'd be voting for someone who's not my first, second, third, fourth, fifth choice or whatever, but someone who I can be like, yeah, whatever, you know, he's all right.
02:07:27.000So, I don't know a whole lot about it, but I've been following just a few people who are posting about it, and it's scary.
02:07:37.000I think about what's going on in Hong Kong and Belarus in terms of the uprising, and we view them from the American standpoint as, like, Yeah.
02:07:43.000good to oppose the dictators, but the left thinks that's who they are here.
02:07:47.000And I'm like, you attacked an old lady, dude.
02:07:50.000You're not the freedom fighter opposing the dictator.
02:10:21.000But it'll be interesting to get someone into the spotlight who normally doesn't have the opportunity to say, hey, I'm a plumber from, you know, Ohio, and I just have some kids, and they're going to college.
02:10:29.000Or like a car, like a mechanic or something.
02:11:10.000It's fair to say that past instances can, you know, alter it to a certain degree, but... Yeah, but you still are, you're right, you're innocent until proven guilty.
02:11:27.000Hey Tim, just to lighten up everyone, I feel like we should all have a laugh at things, like when I'm watching TimCast clips and all of a sudden the outro with you looking 20 pounds heavier comes on.
02:12:45.000Well, we are about 11 minutes over, so I think we're going to get ready for bed, because I'm going to wake up early in the morning and get back to work.
02:14:04.000Thanks for hanging out, everybody, and we will see you all tomorrow at any point in the day when you watch the content, but we'll be live at 8 p.m.
