In this week's After Show, we discuss the latest on the Trump/Russia situation, the possibility of Donald Trump being indicted, and the financial collapse of JP Morgan Chase. We also talk about the new album from TrashHouseRecords, Bright Eyes.
00:00:36.000We don't know exactly if that means anything.
00:00:39.000For now, it could just be rumors, but the reporting coming from the Daily Mail is that the indictment is expected tomorrow.
00:00:44.000And I believe this actually comes from a report, or I should say it additionally comes from a report from, it may have been Business Insider, I'm not entirely sure, but I had seen early reporting That they were still doing some witness testimony and that the final decision will be tomorrow.
00:00:58.000And the expectation is Donald Trump will be indicted.
00:01:12.000Sovereignbrah on Twitter tweeted this.
00:01:14.000Or he retweeted someone else who had tweeted it.
00:01:16.000That March 22nd is National Donald Day.
00:01:20.000And there's a whole bunch of other weird things they're posting about March 22nd, 3-2-2, and you can Google it and look at all the weird, I don't know, apocalyptic garbage nonsense.
00:01:30.000But we'll talk about that because it is interesting.
00:01:33.000And then we got more information on the banks that are imploding.
00:01:37.000Because this morning you get First Republic, one of the banks that's expected to collapse.
00:01:41.000And everyone's cheering, saying, look, it rallied 30 points.
00:02:11.000You don't wanna miss it because we do now have the call-ins set up.
00:02:15.000So if you want to submit a question and actually call into the after show to hang out with us and ask something of us or our guests, become a member at Timcast and join our Discord where we have a system set up where you can submit a question and then we're going to be pulling people into a voice room to talk during the live members only uncensored show.
00:02:36.000So that's going to be really fantastic.
00:02:37.000So that's a good reason to be a member, right?
00:02:40.000Also, if you go to TrashHouseRecords.com, you can pre-order on Amazon the new song we're releasing on Friday, Bright Eyes.
00:03:15.000And then we have music that we've put out.
00:03:18.000And I suppose it's so threatening that despite the fact that none of the music in any way is political, or I should say the song Genocide was only peripherally political.
00:03:27.000We don't directly address anyone by name or anything.
00:03:32.000Clearly, whatever we're doing there is working, and they're very threatened that all of our songs have hit billboard.
00:03:38.000So that's why we're doing preorders right now, because if we do even better, I would like to, well, maybe y'all would like to, rub it in the faces of those who are trying to tear us down, because they don't want us to have an impact on culture.
00:03:49.000So, this song is coming out on the 24th.
00:03:52.000We then have a week to try and get as many sales and downloads as possible, so we can once again hit billboard.
00:03:57.000Apparently, it's working, so I really do appreciate all of your support.
00:05:10.000So you're a member of Congress, and you have a book called The Big Fraud, and there's a picture of you in the Capitol building on January 6th.
00:05:18.000I think it's perfect timing, actually, with The potential indictment, I guess, isn't going to happen, but you here with your book talking about, well, the fraud.
00:05:27.000Yeah, the last time I was on your show, we were talking about it.
00:05:29.000It wasn't released yet, but Donald Trump has endorsed the book.
00:05:37.000I was the last member to leave the House on January 6th.
00:05:39.000And I know a little bit about January 6th, because Speaker McCarthy, now Speaker McCarthy, asked me to be one of the five to be on that select committee that Nancy Pelosi rejected.
00:05:49.000So I have a little information about January 6th.
00:05:51.000I have a law enforcement background, 30 years, a share for Fort Bend County, Texas for eight, and it was a law enforcement failure.
00:05:58.000And if you listened to Tucker the other day about those 14,000 hours that January 6th stuff, Forty.
00:06:03.000Well, he was reviewing thousands of hours, but I'll tell you what, Tucker was right on target, and it's almost like he read my book.
00:06:52.000Trump will not be arraigned this week.
00:06:54.000Former president is expected to be indicted tomorrow, and Secret Service will make plans for his surrender and appearance in New York court next week.
00:07:04.000A source familiar with the proceedings exclusively told DailyMail.com on Tuesday there will be no arraignment this week.
00:07:10.000He's expected to be indicted Wednesday, after which the DA's office will reach out to his Secret Service detail to make arrangements for his surrender.
00:07:18.000All 36,000 NYPD officers are in uniform and on notice for deployment after Trump called for his supporters to protest his imminent indictment.
00:07:27.000Now the question is, will there be a perp walk?
00:07:33.000If that question is for me, I would tell you that Alvin Bragg, he's the Manhattan D.A.
00:09:00.000So he's going to be inside there in the cell with a bunch of other guys and the Secret Service guards are going to be standing in front of him in the jail with him.
00:09:59.000They're saying that the money he paid to Stormy Daniels was because he was paying her off and then he listed it as legal fees and that's a crime so he's going to get charged or whatever.
00:10:09.000It's like when you're filing your taxes or whatever, you're doing your accounting, if you mislabel something, do you know what happens?
00:10:17.000They call you up on the phone or they show up and knock on your door or you get a letter.
00:11:04.000I think Trump, if Trump was smart, I'm imagining that right now with his campaign staff, he's saying, please everybody, your thoughts and prayers that they arrest me tomorrow or next week.
00:11:17.000Please, please everybody cross your fingers.
00:11:20.000Send your thoughts and prayers that I do get arrested.
00:11:23.000It's going to be the biggest thing for Trump supporters.
00:11:26.000It's going to pull the, it's going to take the wind out of the sails of the left.
00:11:58.000All it's going to do is show middle American voters who supported Trump that if Trump can be arrested, then the Democrats can bring the weight of law against you, right?
00:12:07.000It reminds people how vulnerable they are, especially if they're in counties where the DA or, you know, any part of the judicial system is left and has been elected.
00:12:17.000I mean, it shows you that they are not willing If they aren't willing to draw the line at the former president, what would stop them from persecuting you?
00:12:26.000I don't think that this is a situation where Trump is going to be, it's not going to make your average middle of the road voter more sympathetic to Trump.
00:12:38.000It's definitely going to galvanize the base.
00:12:40.000It might get some people on the edges, but I don't see how it's going to change a lot of people's minds.
00:12:46.000It's going to have a positive impact for Donald Trump on independent voters.
00:12:52.000There's an article in Politico and it's like, don't overthink it, an arrest for Trump is bad.
00:12:57.000And I'm just like, these people are so stupid.
00:13:01.000They are the stupidest people ever in corporate press, the Democratic Party.
00:13:04.000They don't know that there's no such thing as bad press.
00:13:07.000Trump capitalized on bad press in 2015 and 2016 to get elected.
00:13:17.000They seem to think that this political article said he will not earn a single new voter, and that's the most, that's the stupidest thing possible.
00:13:25.000He's not gonna lose a single voter, and the worst case scenario is he doesn't get any voters, but the likely scenario is someone will see Trump on the TV again and be like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna vote for Trump.
00:13:55.000If you look at the polling, liberals think the economy is good.
00:13:58.000It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
00:14:00.000By no objective standard is the economy doing well, but they think it is.
00:14:05.000Okay, that's the same thing with Trump being arrested.
00:14:08.000Regular people who don't care all that much are seeing this and going, just stop already!
00:14:12.000Man, I'm gonna vote for the guy out of spite now because his people won't shut up!
00:14:17.000Well, nobody knew who Alvin Bragg was until this story came out, so his name has probably been used and talked about more in the last 24 hours than anybody in America.
00:14:26.000I didn't, and I'm fairly well-versed on who's who in politics.
00:14:29.000So, he's going to be the guy that says, I was the one to accomplish this.
00:14:33.000Many, many people have wanted to see Donald Trump in either handcuffs or arrested because they feel he's a criminal.
00:14:47.000I just saw a little tweet or something that Rand Paul put out there said, we ought to be arresting Alvin Bragg for abusing his office and abusing his power.
00:15:30.000Yeah, but even then, if he really thinks he has a chance to face off against Trump, that would have potentially won the hearts of Trump's base, right?
00:15:39.000Saying like, yeah, we're going to defend Trump, like what's happening is an abuse of power would have benefited him if he was serious about trying to run soft.
00:15:46.000I don't think anyone really thinks DeSantis is going to beat Trump.
00:16:27.000I felt that his comments were irresponsible.
00:16:30.000Number one, he never mentioned Trump once in his, what, 90 seconds.
00:16:34.000What he did make very clear is most of the American people probably have no clue or would have any clue why Donald Trump was indicted by this Manhattan DA.
00:17:00.000And when, when you think about Ron DeSantis, you know, when Trump was kind of attacking him for the past several months and, and then DeSantis says, I'm going to stay above the fray.
00:17:08.000I'm not going to, I got a state to run.
00:17:10.000I'm not going to get in the name calling this and that.
00:17:12.000He just violated what he said he wouldn't, He would never do.
00:18:00.000He has to run in 2024 because he could lose his shine by 2028.
00:18:05.000So he really doesn't have much of a choice, but he's got one guy in the way, and that's the leader of our party, and that's Donald J. Trump.
00:18:10.000He needs to apologize to Trump, call Trump up and say, I'm sorry.
00:18:14.000Don't jump in the race because he hasn't announced yet.
00:18:16.000Say, Donald Trump, I'd love to be your running mate.
00:18:18.000Let's go out there and save this great country from the radical left.
00:18:21.000And DeSantis could be the president in 2028.
00:18:26.000We've got a story about this, but I want to hold off for a little bit because I want to just stay on the Trump train for the moment, because we have this tweet here that I want y'all to see so we can talk about.
00:18:36.000This is from Debate Society of Berkeley.
00:19:19.000But the reason why I think this is significant We talked about it before with the AI stuff.
00:19:24.000People started making fake posts and deepfakes that Trump had already been indicted, that Trump was being arrested, and then they make photos like this.
00:19:35.000People were like, you know, Trump surrenders, and some weren't as crazy as this.
00:19:39.000But these photos, they're gonna be hard to tell if they're real at a glance.
00:19:44.000So what happens in 5200 years when some kid is looking through the archives and he sees photos and he's like, I don't know which one's the real one.
00:19:56.000I mean, we just said that it's unlikely that we'll get this big cuffing moment of Trump, but they don't need it if they can just fake it, right?
00:20:03.000If the idea is that the media, which is dominantly left-wing in this country, wants a picture of Trump in handcuffs, all they need to do is, you know, run one on the evening news that's been AI-generated and then issue an apology the next day.
00:20:18.000What happens if someone right now who's, let's say, 60 years old, they're not on Twitter, they're not on the internet, they have no idea, and they turn on the Tucker Carlson, they turn on the Fox News, and they're sitting there, and Tucker's like, it's all an outreach!
00:20:32.000And he's like, yeah, you tell him, Tucker.
00:20:34.000And then he goes to the bar where he meets up with his friends, and his friends like, he puts his glasses on and says, let me show you this picture.
00:20:40.000And then he holds it up for everybody, and they see a photograph of Trump being arrested, and they go, No!
00:20:48.000And they believe it because they don't know what's going on.
00:20:50.000My point is, there are probably a lot of people who genuinely believe Trump was arrested, and these photos may be real.
00:20:57.000I think it's like the fulfillment of a fantasy for a lot of people, like they'll believe the photos, even when you can tell that these are sort of not right, the lighting's not right, that one guy's got a bizarre hand, but it's the fulfillment of this thing that they've been rabidly jonesing for, for what, four plus years at this point?
00:21:13.000They want Trump in handcuffs so badly that they are willing to believe a completely fake photo.
00:21:49.000Trump answers and they say, Mr. President, you're under arrest.
00:21:53.000I hope it happens so the facade of our democracy can finally be over.
00:21:59.000Because I tweeted that and you get all these lefties laughing and being like, dude, and I'm like, okay, listen, when Barack Obama can murder a 16 year old American citizen without charge or trial and get nothing, nothing, not so much as a bad word could be said about him by any of you people.
00:22:16.000Then you want to arrest Donald Trump because he asked, he said, I'll give you some money if you claim that we didn't bang.
00:22:21.000Like that's the crime of the century for which you are going to go and arrest.
00:22:25.000So I'm kidding about going to his house and actually arresting him.
00:22:29.000I hope he shows up and they say, ha ha, we got him now because then we can stop pretending like these people are anything other than psychopaths who are trying to steal power.
00:22:36.000A couple years ago when Steve Bannon turned himself in to the FBI because of whatever charges they're bringing against him he I mean it was kind of a it wasn't the most monumentous moment but I do remember it being sort of powerful watching him say like I'm gonna do this like we've got to keep fighting whatever else going in and then like obviously the legal battle continues but it does have this moment where you feel like Okay, we've got to move forward.
00:23:01.000In some ways, I feel like Trump, you know, showing up wherever, being like, I'm gonna turn myself in, I'm surrendering to custody because, like, we cannot keep going this way and this is an abuse of power, like, it will give him a platform in this very powerful moment that, yes, obviously I wish they wouldn't arrest him, but on the other hand, like, I don't think they follow anything logical.
00:23:20.000They're not bound by the ethics that I think most Americans are bound by, and so we might as well make the most of this thing.
00:23:26.000Like, that's why I was glad that he announced, like, yes, they're going to arrest me.
00:23:29.000Like, I'm telling you right now, it's about to happen.
00:23:31.000Like, this is what our democracy has come to.
00:23:35.000It's political theater in a way that I wish we didn't have it.
00:23:37.000On the other hand, I'm glad he's taking advantage of it.
00:23:40.000Yeah, I mean, I guess it's a good thing that he's going to, well, I mean, it seems obvious that if he's going to be arrested that he should capitalize on it.
00:23:51.000I mean, if they're going to make these moves, he should do, you know, obviously should do whatever he can.
00:23:56.000He shouldn't let them set the narrative.
00:23:59.000Yeah, he should definitely do whatever he can to set the narrative.
00:24:02.000And having pictures of himself in handcuffs or having his mug shot as a campaign ad as the first president that's ever been arrested by the opposing party when the opposing party is in power, you know, like, and I think that is powerful.
00:24:21.000I think that it will matter to To obviously to MAGA people and we'll get them fired up.
00:24:27.000And that could make a difference in the polls, but it's still a long way away and we don't know who else is going to be running and stuff.
00:24:33.000So I don't know that this matters in 2024.
00:24:36.000It'll matter today and for the next, you know, the news cycle, probably for a couple, maybe a week or two, but.
00:24:42.000Do you feel like the left's turning Trump into a martyr with this action?
00:26:14.000When you had that year, a year is an eternity in politics, and it doesn't matter what Trump did in 17, 18, and 19, all that matters is that last year was COVID, and there was no sports, there was no movies, everybody was pissed off, and they sat in the media, and across the board, Trump did it.
00:26:33.000Joe Biden hid in his basement, and people went out, and you have to look at the enthusiasm levels.
00:26:38.000Enthusiasm for Biden was nil, but enthusiasm against Trump was almost as high or higher than enthusiasm for Trump among his base.
00:29:17.000And we've got a mayor that is just... You know, the thing about Chicago is it was all based on race.
00:29:25.000So if you look at the election map and overlay it with the racial neighborhoods demographics map, the person who won the neighborhood was the race of the people who lived in the neighborhood.
00:29:35.000That was probably, in my view, the dominant factor.
00:29:39.000Lori Lightfoot won in almost every black neighborhood.
00:29:43.000And then, what was it, Valles, was that the guy?
00:29:46.000White dude won all the white neighborhoods, and then the Hispanic dude won the Hispanic
00:31:32.000Republicans, you've got only 4% of Republicans saying fairly good, less than a percent say very good, 68% say very bad, and they are objectively correct.
00:32:14.000The bad news is Democrats are deranged completely, and I don't know how you save them from themselves.
00:32:20.000There's a significant portion of the population that refuse to acknowledge reality because they hate the reality that's going on around them.
00:32:30.000They don't want Joe Biden to be a bad president, and so they refuse to acknowledge the things that Joe Biden has done that were bad policy.
00:32:40.000And this isn't anything about Joe Biden as a... None of this is personal attack.
00:32:45.000It would be the same no matter who the Democrat candidate is because it's Democrat policy.
00:32:51.000It's policies that the Democrats and the left want.
00:32:55.000The man is empty as it gets because he's barely awake when he's Doing things at work So this is it's it's just that the the left does not want to admit that the policies are not working You can't have DA's release criminals after they've been arrested and expect them to not continue to commit crime
00:33:20.000You cannot endlessly print money and expect there to be no inflation.
00:33:25.000These things are not under the control of human beings.
00:33:30.000No government has ever been able to control these types of things.
00:33:35.000You know, I'm concerned a little bit about the electorate.
00:33:37.000You know, Tim, you mentioned about the independents, and we thought the independents were going to do very well for us here in the midterms here.
00:33:44.000And, you know, we only won the House by what?
00:33:51.000I think that the American people maybe have short memories.
00:33:54.000I don't know if it's the ill-informed, the uninformed voter, this and that.
00:33:58.000When you look at our economy today, whether it's the inflation, the fuel prices, what's happening globally with Ukraine and all the other stuff, China, and crime, the southern border, under Donald Trump we didn't have these issues.
00:34:13.000We have a crisis on every corner in America today.
00:34:16.000Sure, not for nothing, but the Republicans are the Republicans' responsibility.
00:34:21.000It's their responsibility to get elected.
00:34:23.000The realities on the ground have to be brought to the population in a way that they can understand and see it, that motivates them to get to the polls to vote.
00:34:34.000And the Republicans are responsible for doing that.
00:34:37.000So, I mean, you're right about everything.
00:34:41.000It's not getting them to the polls, it's bringing the polls to them.
00:36:31.000And it was like, nobody cared and she's not going to go to jail or anything like that.
00:36:34.000But the reality was, it's easy to mobilize activists in cities You go to one building in Manhattan and you can knock on enough doors to talk to 1,000 people by the end of the day, but a rural area, you cannot do that.
00:36:49.000And so not only were Republicans not focused on ballot collection, harvesting, and chasing, but they didn't even realize that before this, ground game in cities is easier.
00:37:00.000So moving into 2024, I think Trump said this, we're going to become a ballot harvesting powerhouse, and all Republicans are now realizing like, oh wait, maybe that's why we lost.
00:37:10.000The example is Orange County, California.
00:37:12.000Traditionally Republican, one day all of a sudden votes Democrat, and everyone's like, what?
00:37:17.000The Republican Party down there says, hey, they're doing ballot harvesting.
00:37:20.000The next election, the Republicans won.
00:37:22.000So I think the mood of the nation is correct.
00:37:26.000Regular people, independent voters, conservatives, libertarians, the freedom faction, whatever you want to call it, people who aren't in the woke cult know it's bad and are pissed off and they would prefer a Donald Trump.
00:38:08.000But I think there's like 13 states where you can just knock on doors and take ballots.
00:38:12.000And people were like shocked to find that in some swing states, you can go to a nursing home with a ballot for every person, or go to the nursing home, ask the nursing home staff to collect all the mail-in ballots that were delivered there, Then, have all the elderly people come into the room and say, I'm gonna, I'm gonna deliver your votes for you.
00:38:29.000So why don't you all fill it out and sign, put my name on it, I'll sign it, and then I'm allowed to drop your votes off for you.
00:38:35.000And all these old people go, thank you for visiting!
00:39:01.000He'll take care of it for all of you guys.
00:39:03.000Is that what the issue was with Kerry Lake?
00:39:04.000I don't know if that was the issue with Kerry Lake.
00:39:06.000I think Kerry Lake was saying that a lot of these polling locations that were mostly in areas where it was strongly conservative Republican, you know, had issues either with the voting machines or they were running out of paper, had issues with the ballots.
00:39:20.000So I think it's a multifaceted, it's all sorts of issues.
00:39:30.000I'm not saying that we got to get better at cheating, but we have to get some integrity back into our electoral process, our process of elections.
00:40:06.000France can do it, these other countries do it.
00:40:07.000What is it, like France, they have like a glass box and you walk up and put it in, there's people watching from different parties and they watch it all happen, it's that simple?
00:42:00.000They had a process by which they implement this procedure through the system.
00:42:05.000In Pennsylvania, the Republicans agreed with Democrats on universal mail-in voting, and this is what the lawsuit was partly about, that In order to implement universal mail-in voting, you have to have an amendment to the Constitution, which requires printing it in newspapers and getting a vote, putting it on the ballot in November, and then waiting till afterwards.
00:42:21.000And established Republicans and Democrats worked together through the traditional legislative process.
00:42:28.000And passed a law allowing them to do it.
00:42:31.000The problem then is, a lot of people come out and they scream fraud, and it's like, what they're doing is they're dangling keys to your left and then smacking you with their right hand.
00:42:39.000If you approach this from the perspective that there's some kind of illegal activity or malfeasance, you've lost.
00:42:46.000They have their allies in the courts defending them as they use the process to win.
00:42:50.000It's just like what I was saying with ActBlue and WinRed.
00:42:53.000Democrats launched an online donation system.
00:42:55.000BLM, I think, went through ActBlue, which allowed some of the donations for BLM, I could be wrong, it's been a while since we've covered this, to funnel into the Democrats' fundraising apparatus, which was effectively empowering the Democratic Party through donations to political activist groups.
00:43:09.000Which, technically, you could argue is fraud, but it's not!
00:43:13.000So as long as Republicans don't realize, they will slither their way through every crack in the legal system in ways that we would be like, hey, that's not fair.
00:43:30.000So that's why Donald Trump comes out and says we need to ballot harvest.
00:43:33.000It's it's you're you're right there has to be ballot harvesting but the the RNC
00:43:38.000has to be better than the DNC right like the RNC the ground game of the Republicans
00:43:46.000has to be better and I'm not talking about the politicians the people that are running.
00:43:50.000I'm talking about the people that are administrating elections, that are working on policy, that are in the state, at the state level.
00:43:58.000They have to be on top of it because all the reasons that Donald Trump got elected or didn't get elected and didn't win the The election is because of the procedural stuff that the Democrats managed to do in several states.
00:44:13.000I think that the issues with them not getting, you know, with COVID and stuff had a significant part of it.
00:44:20.000But at the end of the day, The responsibility for winning the election goes to the Republican Party and to the candidate.
00:44:29.000And no matter what the Democrats do, if the Republicans aren't ready for it, in my opinion, and the Democrats win, that's the failure of the Republican Party and that's detrimental to the United States as a country.
00:44:42.000I think there was enough for me to make a decision.
00:44:46.000Obviously I objected to Arizona and Pennsylvania, that you talk about with Pennsylvania, Tim.
00:44:51.000There were many of us that objected to the electors and this and that because I do believe Donald Trump was cheated out of this election and I will go to my grave with that.
00:45:02.000We have to get a hold, we have to get a grip on this because the American people, if we lose our elections and the American people feel That their vote could be manipulated, or lost, or not counted, or whatever it may be.
00:45:15.000I mean, that's a sad state of affairs.
00:45:55.000So far apart on this with Republicans and Democrats and because we don't want to have voter suppression, Tim, God forbid, so the state's legislature's got to get to work.
00:46:06.000The view I suppose is if, here's the way I'll phrase it, if we had one day of voting as the Constitution prescribes with ID requirements, like you have to prove you are in the right place to vote, Donald Trump would easily be the president.
00:46:25.000And so when people on the right say he was cheated, it gets lost on a lot of middle-of-the-road people who have heard too much from Trump about fraud and theft and stolen.
00:46:37.000And with the corporate press's depiction, in the worst possible way, of what it is people on the right are talking about, it's hard to understand.
00:46:45.000That's why my view is—the way I phrase it is consistently Democrats used procedural smarmy tactics to win.
00:46:53.000They do things like a month of voting.
00:46:55.000They do things like universal mail-in voting.
00:46:58.000It's all done above board, but it's nefarious.
00:47:04.000And I guess what I mean is they're betting on their voters being so ignorant to the process that they can implement things that are destroying the system But it's done through the rules, right?
00:47:40.000Like, they didn't just one day wake up and start sending out mail-in votes illegally.
00:47:46.000They went to the governors, they went to the legislature of their states, and they said, we want to do this.
00:47:50.000And then they said, okay, and then they did it.
00:47:53.000So, a legal process only requires the consent of the people who are signing off on the legislation, and then the executive of the state to rubber stamp it and send it through.
00:48:29.000And that's how they got 1.3 million votes.
00:48:32.000And many of them, to think about 1.3 million votes coming out of Dane County, coming out of Milwaukee, the two most liberal areas in Wisconsin, and Trump loses by 20,000.
00:48:43.000They rejected less than 3,000 of 1.3 million.
00:49:27.000When I first heard that, Because I had a friend who had worked on some Republican- initially was working for Democrats and then switched over and started working for Republicans and she told me the Republicans didn't start online fundraising until like three or four years after Democrats did.
00:50:34.000I'm watching people like Scott Pressler go to Florida, for instance, and flip so many people and register so many Republicans, turning the state red, and then Ron DeSantis wins by a million votes.
00:50:44.000And I'm like, look at this stuff they're doing that's working.
00:50:46.000And then I just hear from Trump and I hear from a bunch of Trump supporters that like, oh, well, it was fraud and they cheated.
00:50:51.000And I'm like, well, that's an effective way to lose.
00:50:54.000We need to address exactly what they did and how they did it.
00:50:57.000They are sitting inside the chambers of their state legislatures, smiling and smoking cigars as they rubber stamp policies that guarantee them victories, and then I just keep hearing from everybody, nah, they cheated.
00:52:59.000I've never been a fan of the Republicans.
00:53:00.000I think, like I mentioned, the win red, act blue thing, as an example of incompetence to me is just so profound.
00:53:08.000And when you get an opportunity with Harmeet Dhillon to actually do something, they reject it.
00:53:14.000Oh, it would feel so good if they would all lose again.
00:53:18.000Because it's like, how many times you got to flog yourself until you correct your bad behaviors?
00:53:25.000I suppose the real issue is that the Republican leadership is purposely trying to help the Democratic establishment win because they're all part of the same uniparty, and that it's only the Freedom Caucus and other Republican upstarts that are actually trying to do something, so we're all spinning our wheels, and Donald Trump was an accident that pissed off the Republican leadership.
00:53:41.000I mean, didn't Kevin McCarthy say Trump worked for Putin?
00:53:44.000Oh, now he changes his tune because he's getting forced to do so.
00:55:06.000I can't, we need more members uh... that that are like us the fiscal conservatives the ones that truly understand what thirty one trillion dollars really means uh... and and and so it's trying to find people that are willing to take the fight to washington donald trump did that and that's why the establishment despised him and that's why you have guys like paul ryan and some of these other individuals saying if donald trump is the nominee if a republican nominee they won't vote for him in november
00:55:36.000We ought to throw individuals like that out of the Republican Party.
00:55:39.000Listen, I'm not a big fan of DeSantis.
00:55:41.000I think Donald Trump's the leader of our party.
00:55:43.000But if DeSantis, for some reason, becomes the nominee, I'm all in for him in November.
00:55:49.000I'll take a Republican over any Democrat.
00:55:52.000But you've got some of these rhinos and some of the establishment that don't like Donald Trump and they'll just say the hell with the Republican Party and won't support the nominee.
00:56:08.000Well, we never, we didn't really ever, we should have actually kicked them out.
00:56:11.000There was like a ceremonial vote, but not enough.
00:56:14.000Mike Cernovich, I think it was Mike Cernovich, had this great tweet that maybe I can actually try and pull up, because I may have retweeted it.
00:57:19.000So the issue is, and I think a really good example is the RNC chair, After losing and losing and losing and just being so absurdly bad at running the show, they just re-elect the same people over and over again.
00:57:52.000I feel like young conservatives that I talk to nowadays are more in line with values that the Freedom Caucus is talking about and I think that you're going to see them become more and more isolated from the Republican leadership if they continue on the path they're on, right?
00:58:07.000If the leadership of the party continues to say, no this is the way we've always done it and we're going to continue to do it this way, they will lose- they will see youth voters pull away from them.
00:58:16.000And I think, as we know, if you can't capture young voters, then you don't really have a future.
00:58:23.000I think in some ways time is ticking on the old guard in the Republican Party the same way it's ticking for the old guard in the Democratic Party.
00:58:29.000I mean, they are drifting in all kinds of crazy directions that they cannot keep up with.
00:58:35.000I think DeSantis is a perfect example.
00:58:38.000I'm really, really off the DeSantis train.
00:58:43.000I mean, I was big on DeSantis a year ago, and following the press conference he gave, just seeing how he's been handling everything that's going on in the press, I am moving further and further away from him, because more and more he represents to me what the failures of the Republican Party are.
00:59:01.000He was talking about, you know, digital currencies, central bank digital currencies, and he's doing a lot of good things by being up to date with the problems we're facing, with the culture war, with economic issues.
00:59:52.000The Democrats... Let's talk about Ilhan Omar and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:59:57.000Marjorie Taylor Greene gets booted off her committees because a couple years before she's elected, she posts some rambling, incoherent thing about space lasers funded by a Rothschild's bank.
01:00:08.000The media then spins that into anti-Semitism, and then she's booted from her committees because Republicans are cowards.
01:00:15.000Freedom Caucus, you guys are pretty good.
01:00:16.000But then you get Ilhan Omar, who makes these repeated statements in office, And then they're like, well, you know, but let's not go be too hasty there.
01:01:33.000I mean, it's been pretty easy-peasy up to this point, but when we've got these debt ceiling increases and trying to actually pass a budget, and we do spending, that's when it's going to start getting very, very difficult for Speaker McCarthy.
01:01:46.000And I just believe that right now, every decision that we make, as the majority in the House of Representatives, has to be in the best interest of getting the White House back in 2024.
01:01:58.000Because we're talking about, listen, we got a great plan, Texas.
01:02:02.000We all came together, the representatives, a good border security plan.
01:02:07.000Even if we could get that out of the House, it's dead in the Senate.
01:02:10.000I mean, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but we could come up with all the greatest ideas in the world here in the next two years with a Republican majority in the House of Representatives, but going to the Senate and getting anything done?
01:02:43.000Let's do everything we can to pass meaningful, conservative legislation through the House.
01:02:48.000Let the American people know that we actually really care about leadership and doing the right thing for America, and America first.
01:02:55.000But then it's going to go to the Senate, run by the Democrats, and it's dead.
01:02:59.000So I think now it's all about investigations because we need to expose this family, the most corrupt family in my humble opinion to ever serve in the White House.
01:03:09.000We got to expose them for who they truly are and all of his friends in the DOJ, the FBI, all of them.
01:03:42.000And the reason for it is because when pollsters contact likely voters and say, how do you plan on voting, the likely voter tells them they make a poll based on it.
01:03:49.000The likely voter then said, Republicans all the way.
01:03:52.000Then they went and knocked on doors at nursing homes and apartments and got random non-voters to vote.
01:04:56.000I'm imagining these large urban living complexes, project housing, and other developments in New York, for instance.
01:05:05.000How easy it is for two 20-year-old Democrat activists campaigning on behalf of Joe Biden or anybody else To go into one building in one day, knock on a door.
01:05:57.000And I haven't looked at the swing states.
01:05:58.000But I think, again, it goes back to the COVID with the emergency declaration.
01:06:03.000It allowed governors, secretary of states, and even county clerks to start forming their own opinion What the emergency declaration really meant and how they could keep their people safe.
01:07:27.000But if you believe That the Democrats won in that way, you will lose again in 2024.
01:07:34.000You barely won in 2022 and you will be crushed in 2024 because it's, it's, it's, it's, you've got, I think, establishment Republican types who are happy to see the Democrats win because they hate Donald Trump people, like you mentioned, Paul Ryan.
01:07:48.000And then you have the other group that just says, we can't win because they cheated.
01:07:52.000And I'm like, okay, well then please lose.
01:07:56.000Like, I remember covering all of this stuff when Texas was suing Pennsylvania, and they very carefully laid out the procedures by which they were able to boost the numbers for Democrats.
01:08:08.000And I just keep hearing over and over again, a month later, that it was Dominion, that it was China, that there were secret ballots were stuffed under tables.
01:08:16.000And I'm like, What are you talking about?
01:08:19.000They went door-to-door in Philadelphia, a predominantly Democrat city, and they collected these from people because they used emergency powers to make it legal.
01:08:28.000If we're not going to address that, and they've maintained those rules, and the Republicans did nothing to stop them from codifying the emergency powers into law, Okay.
01:09:03.000And so they said, okay, if we get rid of that, we'll give you universal mail-in voting.
01:09:07.000Because they're stupid or because they were in on it and they hate Donald Trump.
01:09:10.000I wouldn't be surprised to find out that 80% of the Republican Party is actively trying to stop Donald Trump as well, especially in the state levels.
01:09:18.000Because you look at Donald Trump getting elected in, first of all, 2016, they hated him.
01:09:31.000For the next couple of years, even the Republican Party was helping the collusion narrative, which turned out to be complete and utter garbage nonsense?
01:09:37.000How was that even entertained by a single Republican?
01:09:40.000You know me, I'll take full blame for being naive and be like, wow, I don't know a lot about this.
01:09:45.000What's this they're saying now about Trump and this Alphabank stuff?
01:10:00.000It's crazy to me, but I can only assume it's intentional.
01:10:03.000And then the big problem I have with this Look, after Trump loses the election, the immediate claim is the most insane thing I've ever heard.
01:10:15.000Servers being stolen in Germany, satellites being shot down.
01:10:19.000And when I said that's crazy, I had people ragging on me saying I was shilling for Biden or whatever, and that I needed to accept what the reality was.
01:10:27.000People were saying Donald Trump was gonna be reinstated on March 3rd.
01:10:30.000And I said, this is the craziest thing, this is not gonna happen.
01:10:36.000All of a sudden, as time goes on, and Trump doesn't get reinstated, and it's not March, then April, not April, then May, and none of it happens, now I'm saying things like, they were ballot harvesting, and these same people are going, finally seeing it our way, eh Tim?
01:10:52.000It's just mind-boggling to me, but fine.
01:10:56.000If this is people finally recognizing That some dude walks into an office, stamps a piece of paper saying give everyone a ballot whether they want it or not, and then puts it in a box.
01:11:07.000And then I remember when I was in New Jersey, we got ballots sent to us without asking for them.
01:11:14.000So they're doing everything in their power to make sure ballots were sent to everybody.
01:13:10.000He's probably done more for the Republican Party than anyone since Aber- Okay, I don't want to go too hyperbolic here.
01:13:16.000But the dude went state by state, getting people to register for the Republican Party to the point where in Florida, for the first time ever, there were more Republicans than Democrats.
01:13:24.000The Republicans have always been miserable at registering new voters.
01:13:28.000That's why even nationally, there's more Democrats than Republicans.
01:13:32.000And the Republicans only win when they can- when they finally get independent voters to swing in their direction a little bit.
01:13:51.000They wrote a whole article in Time Magazine, the shadow campaign to save the election, explaining how they changed laws, how they implemented these rules, how they did these programs.
01:14:01.000And then what does the Republican Party say?
01:14:16.000It's like conservatives just listen to the argument and just accept it and just say, okay, fine, they've got excuses, so it's all right.
01:14:22.000Look, if the argument is you want to use the semantic word fraud to represent that Democrats play underhanded games, I've heard people say the election was rigged, and they're not saying that, like, That someone stole a voting machine and hacked into it.
01:14:38.000They're saying outright that the rules were changed in a way to benefit Democrats.
01:14:41.000I'm like, yeah, they wrote a whole article.
01:14:45.000The shadow campaign to save the election from Time magazine, where they said powerful elites, tech investors, you know, financial assets were used to change rules and get more votes for Democrats.
01:15:01.000And it's like, okay, You need to understand that machine they built, how it operates, and how to make it yourself, or it will be 2020 all over again.
01:15:11.000The fact that 2022 happened and people are thinking like, man, I guess we just didn't do as well as we thought.
01:15:17.000It's like, no, they are maintaining the universal mail-in voting rules to keep, like, you look at Lauren Boebert's district.
01:15:26.000What was that guy's name who ran against her?
01:15:43.000Activists who are fervent and cult-like who will get in their cars and spend their own time and money to go ballot chasing.
01:15:49.000And conservative Republicans don't do that.
01:15:51.000They are just like sitting at home saying, look what happened after 2020 with Georgia, right?
01:15:57.000You had an interview, a man in the street thing, I think CNN ran this, where he was asked, are you going to vote in the special, in the runoff?
01:16:07.000And I'm like, you do two things by claiming that the election was stolen.
01:16:11.000You demoralize your voters so they don't want to vote and you don't actually assess the methods that Democrats use to win.
01:16:17.000So I'm like, it's frustrating now, going on, you know, two years or so, hearing people say, especially after the midterms, when Republicans got clobbered.
01:16:28.000The Republicans won the House very narrowly, despite the fact that the national mood is in favor of them.
01:16:36.000To me, it feels like civil war is an inevitability, because the elections do not represent what the actual political mindset of the country is, because Democrats are exploiting unlikely voters for votes, and Republicans are ignoring it.
01:16:50.000Half of them are screaming that the only thing they do is cheat, not understanding what's actually being done, and the other half are probably sitting back being like, well, as long as I'm getting paid, I don't care what happens.
01:17:01.000Phil brought it up with Harmeet Dhillon.
01:17:03.000I'm like, right there, I'm kind of, you know, I don't know.
01:17:16.000But I'm kind of at the point where it's just like, until the Republican Party is completely destroyed, I don't know if I'm interested anymore as a party.
01:17:22.000I mean, the Freedom Caucus is great, but maybe what needs to happen is,
01:17:26.0002024 needs to be so apocalyptic bad for Republicans, that there's just no interest in being a Republican anymore.
01:17:34.000And then, then finally, we can get rid of people like Ronald McDaniel.
01:17:38.000Then finally, there will be no powerful interest.
01:17:40.000Like, if the Republicans lose again, then people might actually be like,
01:17:44.000why should I invest any money in Republicans?
01:18:28.000When I look at the electorate and I look at Donald Trump, I look at the policies he had and the results of his policies over four years.
01:18:37.000And for many people that I still talk to that are anti-Trump, They can't come up with a policy that they didn't like.
01:18:46.000The Tax Cuts and Job Act, I mean, all the stuff, wanting to secure the southern border, trying to end endless wars, all of his policies and all the great he did for four years, there are still people today that will not vote for him because they find him to be rude.
01:19:23.000No, but you know what Donald Trump's policies did?
01:19:25.000It affected you by having inflation at a point and a half, and fuel that was $3, and all these positive things that Donald Trump did.
01:19:32.000But we're more concerned and set, I can't vote for that guy because he's just arrogant.
01:19:39.000And I'm thinking, how do you fix a country when you have people like that?
01:19:43.000The problem is, now... That vote doesn't matter if you go and knock on a guy's door, and he's sitting in his garage watching a football game in his man cave, and he's like, I don't know nothing about that Donald Trump.
01:19:55.000It's like, well, you don't like Biden, do you?
01:20:29.000I'm not trying to put the onus on you to answer for them.
01:20:32.000But unless the RNC decides that they want to do the things necessary to support candidates and win, and really do those things, they're not going to win.
01:20:43.000And it looks to me, Going, judging by the last election, that they aren't, they don't have smart people strategizing to win that actually are aware of what the Democrats are doing.
01:20:56.000It's plain to see what the Democrats are doing.
01:20:58.000They don't hide their philosophies, they don't hide their goals, they don't hide their strategies.
01:21:04.000So why is it that nobody in the RNC knows?
01:21:08.000Shadow campaign to save the election where they break down they're like we had voter in the park and we got universal mail-in voting and we went door-to-door and we were ballot chasing and we were doing all these things all made legal by our allies and our courts and it's like maybe maybe the real investment opportunity is the Libertarian Party with the Mises caucus You know, you've got tremendous growth in that area.
01:21:31.000And millennials in Gen Z, I think a third consider themselves to be independent, or more than a third.
01:21:40.000And so I really do think the biggest mistake the Republicans made was re-electing Ronald McDaniel.
01:21:47.000It shows they're completely out of touch.
01:21:49.000And look, man, I grew up in Chicago, you know, Chicago urban liberal type.
01:21:58.000I voted for Donald Trump and Republicans in 2020 because his policy was more in line with everything I've been talking about and agreed with.
01:22:12.000And in 2022, despite the fact that you can look at all the polls and see, it's not a silent majority.
01:22:20.000It's a vocal majority that are saying things like the economy is bad.
01:22:23.000It was years of conversations about high gas prices, about food shortages, the famous Mayonnaise Gate story, where the left attacked a local restaurateur because he said he was spending like 200 bucks a week in mayonnaise.
01:22:37.000And he was like, yeah, I have a 250 person capacity restaurant, we're typically full, and we use mayonnaise for dressings and for sandwiches and for dips.
01:22:45.000And they insulted the guy and called him far right for simply saying mayonnaise was expensive.
01:22:55.000But it's just like it's it's I called the restaurant I talked to the guy and he's like this is crazy.
01:22:59.000I've talked spoken to so many regular people across the board and it seems like the sentiment is all in line more with the Republican Party but the Republican Party is run by incompetent people.
01:23:12.000And so I'm kind of thinking, yeah, I'd like Trump to win, but I'd also prefer winning.
01:23:17.000So maybe if we can't win in 2024, because of like, you look how bad it was in 2022, 2020 and 2022, then it's like, okay, maybe instead of investing all of our time and energy into 2024 with a split party that's fighting amongst itself over whether or not Trump should even be the nominee, over whether or not ballot harvesting was the problem in the first place, over whether or not Trump won or didn't win, I'll just put all the resources into the Libertarian Party, maybe we'll knock them up a few percentage points this time around, so that by 2032, maybe they'll have enough points to get on the debate stage with the National Debate Commission or something.
01:23:53.000Because otherwise I'm like, right now I do believe, based on the track record of economics, Trump is on track to win.
01:24:01.000Because Biden, they can't, but if they bring in Michelle Obama, I think there's a strong possibility Michelle Obama wins.
01:24:06.000I think it's a way, I think it's more than a strong possibility.
01:24:12.000Because you combine everything we've already talked about with the mechanisms they've created to win with Michelle Obama as celebrity personality.
01:24:22.000I think that even if Biden announces he's not running and they field Michelle, I think there are enough strong Democrat candidates that will make her look foolish in terms of actual policy, right?
01:24:34.000Like she may have the celebrity and she was the first lady, but She doesn't, I mean, what, she was a lawyer at one point?
01:24:41.000Like, she hasn't been practicing in the field for a long time.
01:24:43.000I honestly think Gavin Newsom would be able to get the nomination over her and I think Gavin Newsom is crazy.
01:24:49.000I also think, aesthetically, he is not what the Democratic Party wants.
01:24:53.000I think that it's easy to be frustrated.
01:24:56.000I'm not saying that you're wrong to say that, you know, there are all kinds of things that the Republican Party should be doing and I am very interested in the future of the Libertarian Party, but I think that the voting base does believe in Trump even if the leadership doesn't.
01:25:10.000I think that you will see people wanting him to win and even if the party doesn't do the things they should, I think ultimately it's dying anyways.
01:25:21.000Like yes they put Ron McDaniels back in but I don't think she'll win again.
01:25:24.000I think that they are seeing the tides turn.
01:25:27.000I don't think that they will be able to continue to squeak by on the little confidence that the voters have on them if they aren't willing to get behind their preferred candidate.
01:26:41.000I'm sorry, 2016 was the actual full presidential campaign.
01:26:44.000So somebody who was 10 years old in 2015, whose mother was crying watching TV, will be voting this time around.
01:26:55.000And there's going to be a bunch of kids who are around that age, who are young preteens, whose entire worldview is crafted upon Orange Hitler.
01:27:03.000And they will be voting this time around as well.
01:27:08.000Other social media platforms are radicalizing them.
01:27:11.000So, I think, uh, if it's Michelle Obama, it might end up being 90, 100 million.
01:27:18.000Because you combine the fact that they're gonna have a brainwashed youth base with their ballot harvesting mechanisms and other outreach programs, yeah, Donald Trump might actually get 80 million this time around.
01:27:31.000But, uh, You've got to take into consideration the changing demographics.
01:27:36.000There's going to be less boomer voters because they're aging out, as it were, and there's going to be more Gen Z and millennial voters who are typically, or at least large numbers, crazy.
01:28:31.000I think they'll have a really hectic year.
01:28:33.000I mean, I don't know how you feel about it, but I just think that there is no clear front runner.
01:28:36.000I think Biden is making it worse for them by the fact that he doesn't want to step down.
01:28:41.000I also think that the DCCC is already having a hard time because they want to move where they're having their first primaries and it's already dividing the party by states, right?
01:28:51.000I mean, New Hampshire is saying that they will not give up their first First Nation primary.
01:29:12.000Well, again, he got 74 million votes, and I think when the average person looks at Joe Biden and Donald Trump and his successes, and when you look at his success with the minority communities, the opportunity zones that he created, the unemployment rates among minority groups and everybody, I mean, our country was on cruise control.
01:29:32.000It was the safest, I mean, our global security, I mean, we didn't have all these issues with little Rocket Man teasing South Korea.
01:29:39.000He kept Putin in check, never went into Ukraine under Trump.
01:29:42.000Went in and took Crimea in 2014 and then goes back into Ukraine under the weak president we have today.
01:29:48.000And then he did a good job with Xi Jinping keeping him and not toying with Taiwan.
01:29:53.000So I think if you have a A half a brain, and you're concerned about this country and the direction it's going, and I can't see how you could not vote for Donald Trump.
01:30:06.000But listen, you're right, but think of it this way.
01:30:10.000There is a smart Man and woman, and they're at the grocery store, and they're looking at the ingredients because they're concerned about the amount of sugars and preservatives, and you walk up to them and say, quick question, you voting for Donald Trump?
01:30:24.000And they go, hmm, I might, convince me.
01:30:27.000And then you talk to them for a few minutes, and they go, you make some good points, I'll consider it.
01:30:31.000Then the Democrat walks up to two people who are buying ho-hos and ding-dongs, and they were like, yo, Biden!
01:30:37.000And they go, and they high-five, and then they vote for Biden.
01:31:10.000Well, again, we got to do better with the independents, though, as well.
01:31:14.000So, listen, do I have an answer to all this?
01:31:17.000I just don't believe that you're going to see all these ballots.
01:31:19.000Donald Trump had 74 million votes, the most votes ever in a presidential election in the history of our country.
01:31:24.000And all of a sudden, Joe Biden gets 81 million by sitting in his basement, by sitting in his basement.
01:31:30.000You could say it was ballot harvesting.
01:31:32.000I think there was some, okay, ballot harvesting, but I believe there was some fraud and governors and secretaries of state and county clerks and others abused it.
01:31:42.000Secretaries of state, they abused the election laws in their individual states under the color of COVID.
01:31:54.000These governors in some of these states never even called their legislatures back.
01:31:57.000They didn't have to because they're, in the state of Texas is a good example, Governor Abbott could do what he wanted unilaterally.
01:32:04.000He didn't have to get his, he didn't have to call back his state legislature, his state senators and representatives because it was under an emergency declaration.
01:32:13.000And that's what governors did in many of these liberal states or these moderate states.
01:32:18.000They abused... And those policies have all been codified outside of the emergency provisions and still exist to this day and will be used again.
01:32:28.000So that's why if the Republicans don't figure out that this is all within the law, it's been codified, legislatures have signed them, sealed it, stamped it, and it's good, They're gonna lose.
01:32:45.000Donald Trump got more votes than any incumbent in a reelection.
01:33:59.000We have to become masters of ballot harvesting, and Donald Trump said something to that effect, because he understands, and I'm glad he does, and that gives me some confidence that the Republican Party, or at least Donald Trump, is paying attention to what exactly happened.
01:34:13.000Because spending years talking about Dominion and China and all this stuff and German servers and fraud was not solving the problem.
01:34:23.000Donald Trump—and that's why last year I was like, I'm probably for DeSantis at this point because he's effective, he's doing these great things, and all Donald Trump was talking about was fraud, fraud, fraud, you will never win an election if that's all you do.
01:36:29.000And so our country is going off a cliff.
01:36:32.000And if the American people can't see that, it's right in front of their face.
01:36:36.000The Republicans, we've got to wake up.
01:36:38.000We have to wake up because this has been coming.
01:36:41.000This has been in front of us and we have completely, I don't know, ignored it or we just think it wasn't important.
01:36:46.000But we have to wake up and we've got to save our country.
01:36:49.000We're going to go to super chats, but I do want to continue the conversation in the members-only portion and then bring in our good friends who are hanging out in the TimCast members Discord to talk about the election and what's going on as well.
01:37:00.000So we'd love to hear from your questions.
01:37:19.000If you're a $10 a month member for at least six months, you get access to the voice room.
01:37:24.000If you want to immediately just jump the line, $25 a month.
01:37:29.000Understand we have to do some kind of gating either time gate or money gate to keep out bad actors We're gonna try and get everything shut down.
01:37:35.000So it is what it is, but I think it'll be great to bring in some Some questions from the from the audience on this one, but let's read super chats.
01:37:42.000So also smash that like button and let's read All right, coldy locks production says the struggle of today is not altogether for today.
01:37:51.000It is for a vast future also Abraham Lincoln annual message to Congress December 3rd 1861 Yeah, yeah.
01:38:03.000SketchTherapy says, I'm canceling my membership.
01:38:07.000F open chat, I paid to avoid open chat.
01:38:09.000You said you wouldn't have to deal with these trolls.
01:38:12.000So what we've done is, instead of being a YouTube member, you can become a member at TimCast.com and join the Discord where we have a screening process and rules so you can avoid all of that stuff.
01:38:24.000So instead of having to spend 10 bucks there and five bucks here, It's the same 10 bucks now getting you access, so we've centralized it all to save you money.
01:38:33.000So yes, if you are unhappy with the reopening of the YouTube chat, then just use your website membership or join the website, and you can go into the exclusive 24-7 conversation talking about news and stuff.
01:38:46.000I was in there earlier today, posted some breaking news, and we're going to get the TimCast crew in there periodically.
01:38:50.000I think some of our writers were actually just hanging out talking to people.
01:38:57.000Jonathan E says, the 15-Minute City chicken coop guy is former Ontario MPP Randy Hillier, who, along with Maxime Bernier and Derek Sloan, was among the few Canuck politicians to oppose Faucism.
01:39:49.000Yeah, but Trump says, so this one time on Bandcamp I made these songs, they decided I wasn't woke enough and they deleted my account and the content.
01:39:56.000They also deleted, I believe, Bryson Gray and Five Times August.
01:40:02.000None of these accounts should have been deleted, but the songs we had up, the lyrics are like, you know, The Will of the People is a story about a revolution.
01:40:27.000To everybody who, uh, when I played the clip at the beginning of the show, I saw people being like, you know, it's emo, and I had people criticizing it.
01:40:34.000You know, let me just tell you something, first and foremost.
01:40:37.000I've been playing music my whole life.
01:40:41.000And then I will also say, we are trying to do things that are impacting culture, and all three songs we've released have charted on Billboard.
01:40:54.000That's bigger than many mainstream major label bands.
01:40:58.000Major labels sign these big artists, put them on tours, spend millions of dollars, and they might get one or two to actually chart.
01:41:04.000We've done three for three, and we haven't spent that much money.
01:41:08.000If we can do things like this, and it succeeds and we make money and we expand, imagine what we can do when we actually start bringing in new artists, signing more people, and grow that portion of the business.
01:41:18.000For the time being, we are spending very little and making very little.
01:41:43.000And you get access to the Elite Club Discord.
01:41:45.000But we're also, I don't want to speak too much about what goes on behind the scenes, but I will just say, many of the people, we're planning on giving Elite Club members direct access to alpha test, beta test, pre-releases, access.
01:42:00.000I don't want to say too much because I might freak people out who work here, but we need playtesters.
01:42:16.000And we've teamed up with Freedom Tunes for- it's basically a Freedom Tunes video game that we are putting all the work behind, and it's Freedom Tunes themed art and everything, so I'm really excited for that.
01:42:48.000But we'll talk about that in the members only portion because I do kind of feel like I don't know if we have any, I don't know if there's a choice.
01:43:07.000Chris Pavotto says, to the Texas Rep, I sent you and 47 other Texas Reps a very detailed letter about Down syndrome and Texas Medicare support without your office responding on your advice last time on IRL.
01:43:18.000Why the silence, except those with a D next to their name?
01:45:31.000Gawren says AOC would counter Trump after the first debate by coming out tassel spinning on a pole.
01:45:36.000I don't, I don't, I don't know if I find that one is funny.
01:45:44.000I mean, if they if they made a comment about something more related to AOC's character and personality things she does and you know, I just wasn't expecting it.
01:45:56.000Like if she came out and you know, Easy.
01:46:01.000It's hard to imagine what she would do, John.
01:46:03.000No, I mean, like, if you wanted to make a joke about what her behavior would be like on the debate stage, it would be like doing a sassy Latino voice or saying something in Spanish.
01:46:11.000Like, probably not that out of the ordinary, I mean, within her character.
01:46:17.000She runs for Alex Stein as her press secretary.
01:46:21.000No, that's something that... She comes out in an Alex Stein t-shirt.
01:49:42.000It would be like, you know, because Dave's going to talk to Trump about foreign policy and he's going to say, with all due respect, these things, these things, and Trump's going to say, you don't understand with this, that, and Biden's going to be like, and then they're both going to turn and look at him and be like, now let's talk about you.
01:49:57.000I think it would honestly make people uncomfortable to watch because I think they would be able to verbally outmaneuver Biden so easily and then obviously intellectually like totally different level people are gonna watch it be like he's just getting wrecked it's like when you watch one of those WWE fights and there's like an older fighter who's retiring and like he gets beaten up really bad and you're sort of like I don't I don't really like this I feel like you should step out Look, elder abuse is my kink, so I kind of like the idea.
01:51:23.000Yeah, but that's why, you know, some people have, like, Libertarians tell me, like, you can't vote for Trump because it's the lesser of two evils.
01:51:29.000You got to change the thing and vote for Libertarians.
01:51:31.000And I'm like, nah, dude, that argument worked, like, in 2008 and 2012.
01:51:58.000I mean, it was absolutely fantastic, and the economy was great.
01:52:01.000So, Lesser of Two Evils, I'm like, this guy was standing up for this country, he was securing its borders, he was bringing jobs back, he was doing good work for the union middle class guys, he was doing good on foreign policy.
01:52:56.000I think he's got some character defects, again, understatement.
01:53:00.000But it's like, do you want the guy who's Got character defects and kind of sounds nasty but makes the machine run.
01:53:08.000It's like the way I described it a few years ago is you can hire the plumber who doesn't know what he's doing and is confused the whole time or the plumber who's one of the best in the business but he won't stop cussing up a storm in your bathroom.
01:53:21.000I gotta be honest, I'll take the guy who's cussing because he's gonna fix the pipes,
01:53:24.000I don't want crap flying all over the place.
01:53:25.000I'm not gonna call the other company where the guy can't fix the plumbing
01:54:32.000But we're more concerned about spending billions and billions of dollars and sending it to Ukraine in a war that I can't really understand.
01:54:42.000The administration here doesn't even have a real strategy as it relates to Ukraine.
01:55:30.000The Democrats, you gotta be nuts to vote for Joe Biden.
01:55:33.000You gotta be mindless zombies to vote for that guy.
01:55:37.000For Trump to have gained 12 million votes, that means people had to actively resist the corporate press, and learn something for themselves, and say, you know what?
01:56:12.000Can you tell us about the pilot legislation that you're working on right now?
01:56:15.000I think it's kind of interesting because so many people, especially going to spring and everything, are traveling and are experiencing the problems with like the travel, the airline issues.
01:56:24.000Yeah, Hannah, I serve on the Transportation Infrastructure Committee, and I'm the Chairman over Hazardous Material Pipelines and Rails.
01:56:32.000Yeah, I've been to East Palestine before, but right now there's a shortage of pilots.
01:56:38.000Obviously, if we fly a lot, there's a shortage of pilots.
01:56:41.000And the current law is once you turn 65, you can no longer fly the big airlines.
01:56:48.000So what we're trying to do is have legislation to take it from 65 to 67, which just makes sense.
01:56:54.000I can't see, now the ALPA, which is the big union for many of these big airlines, they're against it.
01:57:01.000But I just think it makes sense and I think we're getting some momentum.
01:57:05.000We got some senators over there that are drafted their own legislation, very similar to my legislation, and I think we're going to get this through because it just makes sense.
01:57:14.000What's the Union's reason for being against it?
01:57:18.000They say that they have data, scientific data, that says that going 65 to 67 could be related to health issues, but these same pilots are going through, they're taking their EKGs, they're going through vigorous physical assessments and health assessments.
01:57:34.000I just think maybe it's because, you know, these guys up at the top that have been there for 30 years are probably holding their slot, you know, and they want that slot, they want that seniority, so maybe they could get the better flights and have, you know, and choose what they want to do and where they want to fly.
