Transcript

00:00:00.000 Donald Trump has secured a victory in the Supreme Court simply by the Supreme Court
00:00:15.000 saying no to special counsel Jack Smith.
00:00:19.000 Trump's trying to argue that he's got immunity.
00:00:21.000 This would delay the trial for Donald Trump at the federal level until after the election.
00:00:26.000 So Jack Smith is desperately trying to force through this criminal trial, bypassing the appeals process, but it didn't work.
00:00:32.000 Supreme Court said, hold your horses there, buddy, ain't gonna happen, which means massive victory for Trump, at least in one of his cases.
00:00:38.000 It's not going to go to trial until after the election already happens.
00:00:41.000 And this is federal, so it should be really interesting to see what happens, because Trump will probably just pardon himself.
00:00:47.000 Should be very interesting.
00:00:48.000 And then we've got some big breaking news.
00:00:49.000 The border crisis is getting crazy.
00:00:51.000 More and more people are coming out with huge stories pertaining to the documentation that these illegal immigrants are being given, the finances, the resources.
00:01:00.000 We're hearing they're being flown on planes, and we've got James O'Keefe here to join us with some big breaking news.
00:01:05.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com, buy some coffee.
00:01:09.000 It's the end of the year.
00:01:11.000 We've got a Cast Brew gift card, now available as a featured product.
00:01:14.000 We've got Appalachian Nights, our dark roast, everyone's favorite, to be honest.
00:01:18.000 Rives of the Birdo Jr.
00:01:18.000 If you want to support the show, you buy coffee from castbrew.com, and it helps us produce more products, and it also helps fund the show.
00:01:25.000 We also, I want to shout out the link in the description below, Go to youtube.music.youtube.com, subscribe to our music channel.
00:01:33.000 The first week of our release for the new song, Together Again, is over.
00:01:37.000 We ended the week with 8.7 million plays.
00:01:40.000 Suck on that, far-left crybabies.
00:01:42.000 They're all screaming, and everybody's like, Tim, oh, your music sucks.
00:01:45.000 I'm like, bro, I'm chillin'.
00:01:47.000 You don't have to like my music.
00:01:48.000 I'm not saying everybody does.
00:01:49.000 Okay?
00:01:49.000 But this one is... I think it's fair to say The Daily Wire really helped out with this.
00:01:54.000 It's why it's probably done better than the other songs.
00:01:56.000 Michael Knowles, Jeremy Boring.
00:01:57.000 This is originally written by them.
00:01:59.000 We made a modern version of it.
00:02:01.000 Sales are looking good.
00:02:02.000 This looks to be the biggest release we've done so far.
00:02:05.000 However, the difference with the other songs, we released those in the rock genre.
00:02:08.000 Probably easier to chart on Billboard than that.
00:02:10.000 So we'll see what happens.
00:02:11.000 This is pop.
00:02:12.000 I'm not.
00:02:13.000 I don't know how well we'll end up doing, but thank you to everybody.
00:02:16.000 Look, we've got like five or six songs we released.
00:02:19.000 We're hoping next year we're going to have a lot more.
00:02:22.000 Everyone's saying you need more bands.
00:02:23.000 Totally get it.
00:02:24.000 We right now have like just Carter Banks, one guy who's working on all this music, and so we certainly have a lot more to do, but it means we're going to be expanding as we're moving into the new space.
00:02:33.000 We're going to have a bigger opportunity, and we're talking with a few artists.
00:02:37.000 We're talking with some major, major bands about working with us and We're working out what that deal would look like because we're not doing things traditionally, but a lot of big cultural moves are happening.

00:03:17.000 I'm very excited for this announcement, which is a little preliminary, but ladies and gentlemen, the great artist, James O'Keefe, may be, may be joining the ranks.
00:03:25.000 Not maybe, definitely.
00:03:28.000 So, actually, James came in early so we could discuss music production because, I mean, a lot of people have seen the work you've already done already with music and theater and all that, but we're going to ramp it up.
00:03:37.000 I can't wait.
00:03:38.000 I've got so many good ideas.
00:03:39.000 You know, I was the lead in Oklahoma.
00:03:41.000 I'm a DJ.
00:03:41.000 I just haven't had a lot of time.
00:03:43.000 But, Tim, I look forward to coming back and making some music.
00:03:46.000 Absolutely.
00:03:47.000 And we're going to do some great videos, music videos and all that stuff.
00:03:49.000 But, James, you're here.
00:03:51.000 You've got some big breaking news, I believe, for us tonight.
00:03:54.000 Yeah, as I was sitting here right before your show, Tim, a lot to cover tonight and thank you for having me again.
00:04:01.000 This is a story after AmFest.
00:04:04.000 We went to the airport and various flight attendants, pilots, Ticket counter people pulled me aside, recognized me, said, you got to do something James.
00:04:14.000 They're inundating, buses are dropping people off.
00:04:17.000 So I ran up to the bus, I got a little video, we'll talk about that in a minute, of the driver of this black car, black car, limousine, dropping off migrants.
00:04:26.000 And then I obtained today this, I just broke this a moment ago on my x-page, if you want to pull it up.
00:04:31.000 These are new, these are tickets they're giving out to migrants.
00:04:34.000 You can look at it, it says quote, Please help me print my boarding pass.
00:04:39.000 I am a refugee and I do not speak the language.
00:04:43.000 Thank you.
00:04:44.000 These were given to me from inside the airlines industry by some of the folks working there, and they're just flying people around.
00:04:51.000 The government claims it's vetting these individuals for putting them on planes, but our reporting contradicts that.
00:04:57.000 What we found is the agents responsible for vetting the identification of these individuals are relying solely on their word.
00:05:02.000 Now, you and I couldn't travel without an ID, and we have to take off our shoes, so what's remarkable about this is that, Tim, I've said this to you in Phoenix, I've been doing this for 20 years.
00:05:14.000 I have never seen so many pissed off people inside the airlines, mostly pilots, by the way.
00:05:21.000 They are pissed.
00:05:22.000 So, I'm really interested in getting into the driver of these cars, like, what's going on with this, and now this breaking story, so we'll definitely get into that.
00:05:29.000 James, thanks for hanging out.
00:05:30.000 We got Hannah Clare hanging out as well.
00:05:31.000 Hey, I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow.
00:05:32.000 I'm a writer for SCNR.com, also known as Scanner News.
00:05:35.000 I'm so happy to be here talking about immigration, one of my favorite topics.
00:05:39.000 Ian's here too.
00:05:40.000 James, you absolute animal.
00:05:41.000 Welcome to the house.
00:05:42.000 Great to be here.
00:05:43.000 Thanks for ringing out 2023 with us, man.
00:05:45.000 I love you, dude.
00:05:46.000 It is so much better when you're here.
00:05:47.000 I'm looking forward to making killer music with you next year.
00:05:49.000 I love your energy, man.
00:05:49.000 I love it.
00:05:50.000 Let's get fried in the best way.
00:05:52.000 Maybe that's not the right word.
00:05:54.000 Let's get hot.
00:05:55.000 Let's make some- I mean, I swear to God, dude, we're gonna change the world with sound.
00:05:59.000 It's yelling and crapping and complaining, it gets you a little- it gets you partway, but you wanna solve the system.
00:06:05.000 I mean, we're gonna do it.
00:06:06.000 It's like, you know, you're gonna save the world with rock music, I guess.
00:06:08.000 Is that the plan?
00:06:09.000 I guess it is.
00:06:10.000 Alright, we got Surge pressin' the buttons.
00:06:12.000 Yeah, I love seeing y'all hyped about stuff.
00:06:14.000 It's great.
00:06:15.000 I've got a guitar in my hand, thanks.
00:06:16.000 Yeah, definitely.
00:06:17.000 Anyways, let's get to the show, guys.
00:06:18.000 Before we jump to the crazy immigration stuff, which I think will dominate most of the conversation, we do have this story which is important for coming into next year.
00:06:25.000 At cnr.com, SCOTUS denies Jack Smith's request to fast-track judgment on Trump's immunity claims.
00:06:32.000 The order jeopardizes a special counsel's proposed March 4th start date.
00:06:36.000 This is basically it.
00:06:38.000 Donald Trump's victory in a single, very short sentence.
00:06:42.000 The petition for writ of certiorari before judgment is denied.
00:06:47.000 There you go.
00:06:48.000 What this means is Donald Trump is appealing, he's arguing that he is immune as president, and I believe the arguments presented by legal scholars sound.
00:06:56.000 That a president does a lot of things.
00:07:00.000 If you think the president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, treason, sedition, whatever it might be, you impeach them, convict them, and then criminally charge them.
00:07:09.000 The reason why we don't criminally charge sitting presidents is that they are the chief enforcer of law as the head of the executive branch.
00:07:17.000 That means that we first have to remove them from the position of law enforcement before we criminally charge them.
00:07:24.000 I think it makes total sense.
00:07:25.000 Right now what we're seeing is it looks like this case, the federal level, is not going to happen until after the election because of this.
00:07:32.000 And what that likely means is Trump will pardon himself.
00:07:35.000 That would be the best move of all time.
00:07:36.000 I would love it.
00:07:37.000 I think that would be so funny.
00:07:38.000 Realistically, I feel like we're going to jump through some more legal hurdles before we get there, but it would make the Democrats crazy if we got to the point where Trump pardoned himself.
00:07:46.000 Was he going to be like, pardon me?
00:07:47.000 And then it'll be like, well, all right, he said it.
00:07:50.000 That actually does seem like something Donald Trump would do.
00:07:54.000 He'd stand up and he'd smirk and he'd go, pardon me!
00:07:57.000 Can you do that?
00:07:58.000 Can a president pardon himself legally?
00:07:59.000 No, he would just put it on truth social.
00:08:01.000 I am pardoned and that's it.
00:08:02.000 Wow.
00:08:03.000 Maybe just say, pardon me.
00:08:04.000 That's a good one.
00:08:05.000 I'm not asking, I'm telling.
00:08:06.000 I'm pardoning these signs.
00:08:08.000 I think 2024 is going to be just balls to the wall crazy.
00:08:13.000 Wow.
00:08:13.000 I think all bets are off.
00:08:15.000 It's impossible to predict.
00:08:17.000 Fasten your seatbelts.
00:08:18.000 We were talking with Eric Prince earlier this morning, founder of Blackwater.
00:08:23.000 And, you know, that's one of the questions I had, you know, with his experience in a conflict crisis and, you know, foreign war and all that stuff.
00:08:29.000 For all the criticisms, I think his insight still matters.
00:08:33.000 What would it be like?
00:08:34.000 Is the potential there?
00:08:35.000 Do you see the signs?
00:08:36.000 And he was just saying that... He basically said, gradually then suddenly, that with a lot of the countries they've seen in crisis, even during Katrina in the United States, it is overnight.
00:08:48.000 Your utilities are gone.
00:08:50.000 One of the scariest things, I think people don't realize, and what he said was when his guys got to New Orleans during Katrina, when they arrived, there were dead bodies.
00:09:02.000 All over the place.
00:09:03.000 Killed by looters.
00:09:04.000 And I said, I don't know if looter is the right word.
00:09:06.000 Bandit?
00:09:08.000 Barbarian?
00:09:09.000 You know, when people take all of our... We talked about high trust society, they take it for granted.
00:09:15.000 When the President of the United States, his authority, his position is questioned and challenged, that is someone taking a hammer and a chisel and striking it into the stone foundation of this country, in this way particularly, and if confidence in the system shatters, Gradually, as we're seeing, and then suddenly, overnight, electricity's off.
00:09:38.000 Food's not at your store anymore.
00:09:40.000 Internet's not working.
00:09:41.000 You don't know what's going on.
00:09:42.000 In a circumstance like that, the last place I'd want to be is, like, New York, Chicago, or L.A.
00:09:47.000 I wouldn't mind just being on the mountain in West Virginia with some chickens.
00:09:50.000 And from what I've been told, if that kind of thing were to happen, and it was a utility and island situation, you got about three weeks that you're gonna need to survive on your own, and then things will probably come back.
00:09:59.000 But in those three weeks, if you're not prepared... Not if it's a civil war.
00:10:02.000 Not if it turns into something like that, but if it's like a grid-down situation and it's like you've got a lot of death in the first two weeks, people that aren't prepared at all.
00:10:12.000 But if you're one of those prepared people and you're able to like hold out, you should be okay.
00:10:16.000 Have you guys heard of a book called One Second After?
00:10:18.000 Have you ever read this book?
00:10:20.000 It's about an electromagnetic pulse and what happens to civilization.
00:10:23.000 It all breaks down within a few hours.
00:10:25.000 When there's no electricity, just what happens?
00:10:27.000 And it basically devolves into Lord of the Flies, into just anarchy.
00:10:31.000 And after a few days, people start breaking out into tribes.
00:10:33.000 Yep.
00:10:34.000 It's crazy.
00:10:35.000 You gotta read that book.
00:10:36.000 I think you see early signs of that right now, though, right?
00:10:38.000 We see communities at odds with each other every day.
00:10:41.000 I mean, I just saw the sort of day where Charlie Sheen, the actor, his neighbor, like, broke into his house and tried to strangle him.
00:10:47.000 Like, people are at odds with one another every single day.
00:10:50.000 There might be other circumstances there, but I think it's fair to say that trust has Degraded enough to affect quality of life as we know it right now.
00:10:57.000 Just think about how crazy it was like in the 1800s where you're some dude who has a farm and you could be in a feud with a guy like 50 miles away and then he'd just go over there kill him and then go back and then nobody would know.
00:11:10.000 I mean, this was... You never do anything about it.
00:11:11.000 What's the prequel to... Is it 1889?
00:11:13.000 The, like, Yellowstone prequel?
00:11:15.000 They have this whole thing where it's like, well, we want that land for our sheep to graze on, okay?
00:11:19.000 Well, we'll come and murder you.
00:11:20.000 Like, they have shootouts all the time.
00:11:21.000 Yeah.
00:11:22.000 It's not as far back as we think it is.
00:11:24.000 Right.
00:11:24.000 In that one, it's like, they were close enough to the city to where there were questions about the feud and everything, but back in the day, some guy would jump out of the forest, stab you, take your stuff, and there ain't no way anyone's gonna figure out it happened.
00:11:34.000 I was gonna tweet out, but I didn't do it because it's kind of ridiculous.
00:11:36.000 How many people do you think have died?
00:11:39.000 I'm just talking about of all time, yeah.
00:11:42.000 Oh, there's a number.
00:11:42.000 You can Google it.
00:11:44.000 Really?
00:11:44.000 Yeah, of course.
00:11:45.000 But like you said, you can't track it because some people just, they disappear.
00:11:48.000 That's not true.
00:11:49.000 We have 109 billion people have lived and died over the course of 192,000 years.
00:11:54.000 It's an estimate, obviously, but it's just simply tracking population size and growth.
00:11:58.000 And we know about population sizes through historical records.
00:12:01.000 Except for Tartaria.
00:12:03.000 Right, that was another hundred billion.
00:12:05.000 Well, I think this is the year of doing your best and maintaining friendships.
00:12:13.000 It's going to be so important to be tight with who you're tight with and stay tight.
00:12:17.000 You know, we're having this discussion with Michael Malice because he got that bet with Roseanne.
00:12:23.000 What's the bet?
00:12:25.000 Roseanne said there won't be an election.
00:12:27.000 Michael Malice said, I will bet you $1,000 there will be, and she said, deal.
00:12:30.000 She also bet there would be military tribunals at the end of this year, that Trump would be arresting people, and he laughed, and he bet, and I'm like, Roseanne, that's not going to happen.
00:12:40.000 Now, the question about election is, what do you mean by no election?
00:12:43.000 I think we all agree she meant it would, like, chaos, the election wouldn't happen.
00:12:48.000 And who was, was it Colonel McGregor?
00:12:49.000 No, it wasn't.
00:12:50.000 Who was it who said that we're not going to make it to 2024's election?
00:12:53.000 You might be right about that.
00:12:54.000 I'm not sure.
00:12:56.000 It was on a podcast.
00:12:57.000 It was on PBD, I think.
00:12:58.000 And I actually think there's a strong case for that.
00:13:02.000 And we joke with Michael Malice that he doesn't owe Roseanne any money because just because Trump's been removed from the ballot doesn't mean there won't be an election.
00:13:08.000 And Michael was arguing that if it's Nikki Haley versus Joe Biden, it's still an election.
00:13:12.000 And I'm like, fair point.
00:13:13.000 Agreed.
00:13:14.000 But I'm starting to feel like If it does, I'm saying if, it escalates, based on everything we're seeing, by May or June, the dam could snap.
00:13:25.000 I mean, they're talking about putting the city, the former president, I almost said sitting, the former president in prison and 74 million voters, more votes than any sitting president.
00:13:35.000 This is not gonna, this is not gonna, it's not gonna work.
00:13:37.000 I mean, people are just gonna go insane.
00:13:39.000 January 6th already happened.
00:13:41.000 They can make any argument they want about, yeah, but the government will stop them or whatever.
00:13:44.000 I'm like, dude, what, what, what Eric Prince was talking about this morning.
00:13:49.000 You gotta understand that, he said, even police in Louisiana are looting.
00:13:54.000 And we talked about this, I said there was a movie and the audience, the chat, pointed out World War Z. Brad Pitt's character goes into the store to get medicine for his daughter, he sees a cop run in and he's like, oh crap.
00:14:03.000 And the cop just looks at him and starts grabbing stuff and then runs.
00:14:05.000 Cops are people.
00:14:06.000 So if it breaks down to this point, it's not just going to be the military being like, we are going to stop all of this.
00:14:13.000 Yo, there were cops, active duty, and there were active duty military on January 6th in the Capitol.
00:14:19.000 It's not like everybody in the army is just like a bunch of liberals.
00:14:22.000 Yeah, it's not like everybody that's wearing a cop uniform is going to be a cop either.
00:14:24.000 Yeah, exactly!
00:14:26.000 I got one of those Baofeng CB radios, those little $20, you know, handheld shortwave radios, and a little solar panel, got some solar panels.
00:14:36.000 I mean, if grid down, we need to maintain communication.
00:14:38.000 That's primary, number one.
00:14:40.000 I don't know exactly the rules and restrictions of that, because they'll be like, stay off of these channels, you can't go on these channels.
00:14:46.000 I think the thing is if we were to go grid down this is the time that you would want to know your neighbors and know who's going to be in the houses next door to you because there's one thing to say like yes we should all flee to the woods but realistically if you live in suburbia if you live in a city you're not going to be able to get out fast enough if the grid goes down.
00:15:03.000 You have to know the people around you and that's really the big crime of American culture today which is that we are more isolated than ever and we are low trust so we are unlikely to reach out to the people next door to us and therefore we are surrounding ourselves with strangers.
00:15:15.000 Why do you think people feel low trust?
00:15:18.000 I mean, this is something they've documented over time, right?
00:15:20.000 We are not a community-based people.
00:15:22.000 We are not as involved in community service.
00:15:24.000 We don't attend church as much.
00:15:26.000 And so I think it's just sort of a cultural shift.
00:15:29.000 Some of it, I would argue, has to do with values, right?
00:15:32.000 You can say we all have the same values, but unless you live and breathe the values, we don't really know what they are.
00:15:37.000 And I think, also, we are a more divided society politically.
00:15:41.000 And so we are taught to look at everyone who doesn't vote the same way we do as the other.
00:15:45.000 And that's an unrealistic way to live.
00:15:47.000 Trust is everything.
00:15:49.000 Trust is confidence.
00:15:50.000 A government only exists based on trust.
00:15:53.000 I'm not saying trust as in, if Ian tells me he'll pay me back, I trust he will.
00:15:57.000 That's a component.
00:15:58.000 But trust is also, I know that if I break the law, I can trust in government to punish me.
00:16:04.000 Or someone else.
00:16:05.000 I know that if someone tries to break into my house, I can trust that the police will be there.
00:16:10.000 Low trust society doesn't just mean we have faith in each other, it means do we have faith in this system?
00:16:16.000 And as we're moving closer and closer to, or as trust in society is dropping rapidly, it will eventually come to a point where it's no different than if there was no government.
00:16:26.000 So when, you know, Erik Prince is mentioning their guys show up after being called in by the government saying we need security and they find dead bodies.
00:16:33.000 That's a zero-trust society.
00:16:34.000 Random guys with guns, don't care who you are, don't want to bother with it, they're hungry and they need stuff and you're in the way, you die.
00:16:42.000 That could happen gradually, as well as, you know, hurricane comes, floods the city, everyone's in panic and chaos, the system is broken, law enforcement is disheveled and looting and running, trust is gone.
00:16:54.000 The problem is, I think that some people are, they kind of are waiting for it to happen and are like ready for the moment the power goes down to just jump like another George Floyd riots, Summer of Love kind of thing.
00:17:06.000 Exactly.
00:17:07.000 Like they're not even gonna wait two days before, they're just like, we are, so that, I'm very concerned about that.
00:17:12.000 They're already doing it.
00:17:13.000 We are seeing the videos over the past several years of people just storming into buildings and raiding them and taking whatever they want.
00:17:18.000 And you know what it is?
00:17:19.000 There's trust in this.
00:17:20.000 They trust the government will do nothing to stop them.
00:17:23.000 They trust no one will stop them.
00:17:25.000 So the government will, I should say law enforcement, will arrest you for illegally bearing guns.
00:17:30.000 They describe as illegal.
00:17:31.000 I think the Constitution says otherwise.
00:17:32.000 And then when the criminals come and rob and destroy your property, they say, what are we supposed to do about it?
00:17:37.000 So, the system is designed to fail right now.
00:17:41.000 We're already at the point of almost no trust.
00:17:43.000 What happens in the summer of this year, when it's looking like Donald Trump will win, or they take action to, in some way, stop Donald Trump from winning?
00:17:53.000 Eric Prince pointed out, the only other time a president had been removed from the ballot, and it was Democrats who did it, was Abraham Lincoln.
00:18:00.000 A year later, the country was in a civil war.
00:18:03.000 Vivek made an interesting tweet.
00:18:05.000 I think it was yesterday.
00:18:06.000 He said, if you think that Donald Trump or Joe Biden are getting anywhere near the White House, what is wrong with you?
00:18:12.000 The way he phrased it was like, there's no way in hell that's going to happen.
00:18:16.000 Trump or Biden?
00:18:17.000 Yeah.
00:18:18.000 He's kind of like, I think he sees something about the way that the deep state works and the way that the powers that be kind of want The situation to go and they are the ones with all the secret police.
00:18:28.000 So he just kind of consigned himself to it.
00:18:31.000 I don't know if the tweets still up.
00:18:32.000 I'm looking for it.
00:18:33.000 It's about you sure it's a real tweet.
00:18:36.000 Someone just made a fake one.
00:18:37.000 Here it is.
00:18:37.000 It's from 20 hours ago from Vivek on his page.
00:18:40.000 If you really think quote, they are going to let either Trump or Biden get anywhere near the finish line.
00:18:44.000 Open your eyes folks.
00:18:45.000 There's something deeper going on.
00:18:47.000 It's starting.
00:18:47.000 It's staring us right in the face.
00:18:50.000 Who is they, though?
00:18:51.000 Yeah, who is they?
00:18:52.000 He put it in quotes.
00:18:53.000 Thank you, Ye, for giving us that meme.
00:18:55.000 It could be way bigger than the American Deep State.
00:18:57.000 It could be even bigger than that.
00:18:58.000 Who knows?
00:18:59.000 I mean, we have to ask Ye.
00:19:01.000 Who is they, though?
00:19:03.000 I think one of the problems with tweets like this is, like, and I think Vivek is an interesting guy, you know, I respect what he's doing.
00:19:10.000 I think one of the problems is it's not solution-oriented.
00:19:14.000 I wish there was a little bit more towards, like, there is something deeper going on.
00:19:17.000 And I think that's our big problem right now is that people are ready to panic, but we When there's an issue, you have to remain calm and come up with a solution.
00:19:26.000 What I like about the tweet, and I kind of agree with you, it's not a solution-oriented tweet, is that he's kind of like, hey, don't follow that dangling carrot.
00:19:33.000 That's kind of what that tweet read to me.
00:19:35.000 Interesting.
00:19:36.000 Well, if they don't let the person who wins the election win, there's going to be a kind of civil disobedience slash civil unrest inside society's institutions, not necessarily the way we think.
00:19:47.000 For example, whistleblowing.
00:19:50.000 Civil disobedience takes place in many forms, and I talked to you about this today.
00:19:53.000 Do you guys remember when there was a... We've seen all these parents going to school boards and complaining, and then there was one, I can't remember where it was, where all the parents just Among themselves voted to replace the board and they said that's not the official procedure, so it doesn't count.
00:20:07.000 But all the parents there were like, nope, we've all voted.
00:20:09.000 We are now the school board.
00:20:11.000 There is going to be an interesting clash between populism and credentialism.
00:20:18.000 Where you will have, in a small town, let's say there's a town of 5,000 people, and they'll all be like, who here is in agreement that we should do X?
00:20:27.000 And they'll go, and everyone cheers, and you'll have three guys, the official law enforcement chiefs or whatever, being like, no, because we're actually in charge.
00:20:35.000 And that's going to create an interesting conundrum, conflict between what these people end up doing, and how the state level, county level, or federal level authorities respond to these kinds of conflicts.
00:20:45.000 They can handle it if it's en masse, if it's a numbers game, right?
00:20:49.000 Agreed.
00:20:50.000 There's not enough law enforcement to handle populist... Uprising.
00:20:54.000 Right.
00:20:54.000 And I don't mean violent uprising.
00:20:56.000 That's not... I'm talking about kind of a... You're talking about like a disobedience inside the corporation or the NGO.
00:21:01.000 Well, not even that.
00:21:02.000 I'm saying like...
00:21:03.000 5,000 residents of a small town somewhere just all come out one day and say, our sheriff has abandoned us and is allowing illegal immigrants to run rampant through our country.
00:21:12.000 We are taking control.
00:21:14.000 We the people.
00:21:15.000 And so it will come to a point where they're going to go, yes, but elections are held based on these procedures and you have to do it this way.
00:21:22.000 And they're going to say, we're all the people who live here and we all agree we will do it the way we want.
00:21:28.000 Right, governments only operate on the consent of the governed, right?
00:21:31.000 Except the reality of it right now is, the people are subjects of the federal government.
00:21:36.000 And so the authorities... This is like what we saw with the parents.
00:21:39.000 The parents said, we hereby vote you out.
00:21:41.000 And the board were like, nope, we're the official board, you can't do it.
00:21:44.000 And so I don't even know where that went.
00:21:46.000 But it's going to come to the point where grassroots individuals shift their confidence, their trust in what they believe, but government will not let that power go.
00:21:55.000 Have you noticed, James, that disobedience has been on the rise within corporations?
00:22:00.000 A hundred percent.
00:22:00.000 It's in the last month.
00:22:02.000 So, I mean, whistleblowing involves a crisis of conscience.
00:22:06.000 They have to weigh their loyalty to the organization versus to the public interest.
00:22:12.000 And I think that, you know, with the story that we're going to talk about here tonight with these airline pilots, actually, St.
00:22:17.000 Clair, did you see that video this week?
00:22:19.000 Oh, yeah.
00:22:20.000 It was just like an explosion.
00:22:22.000 It's just everything's sort of been festering and getting to this point, and it just blew open like this little sieve of pilots.
00:22:29.000 I did a Spaces with her and I would say about 70% of airline pilots are more conservative and about 80 to 90% of the ticket agents are more liberal.
00:22:39.000 So, you know, these people inside the airlines, you know, they're begging me to do something about it.
00:22:46.000 You know, expose these buses are dropping people off.
00:22:49.000 So it's remarkable.
00:22:50.000 It's a remarkable scene.
00:22:51.000 I mean, I was cornered in the airport by these airline workers.
00:22:56.000 It was like the Sami stop, the Soviet, don't, don't, I keep whispering, I don't want to be seen with you, but the buses are pulling up in 20 minutes.
00:23:03.000 So that's a new phenomenon and they could lose their jobs.
00:23:07.000 And then one of the people has a husband and she doesn't want her husband to know that she's talking to me.
00:23:13.000 You know what I mean?
00:23:14.000 These are incredible moments that I've never experienced before.
00:23:17.000 I think it has a lot to do with this growing realization, I suppose.
00:23:23.000 It's very simple.
00:23:26.000 When I've talked about, for the past several years, if you keep your head down and keep your mouth shut and keep working for companies because your argument is, I have a family, I have children to feed.
00:23:35.000 There's a lot of people who are like, Tim, you don't have kids, you don't understand how hard it is, I can't lose my job, how will my kids eat?
00:23:40.000 The attitude, you know, my attitude is like, you are absolutely correct.
00:23:43.000 That does not change the fact you are standing with Satan.
00:23:46.000 Yeah, because people...
00:23:48.000 Not everyone can grow food.
00:23:49.000 You can get a vertical little garden in your kitchen.
00:23:53.000 But like, if you've known for a decade that you could get a vertical farm in your kitchen and grow a little bit of crops for your kids to eat, and you haven't done it yet, you might want to question your sanity.
00:24:03.000 Well, it's this.
00:24:04.000 It's this.
00:24:06.000 To all the people out there who say, you know, I would not blow the whistle.
00:24:09.000 I'm seeing, like, you know, James is mentioning a lot of people are stepping forward.
00:24:12.000 Now more people are coming forward.
00:24:13.000 I think the point is they're realizing this point.
00:24:15.000 And this point is, Did you think when, and this is figurative or literal, depending on how you want to take it, if you're a person of faith or not.
00:24:23.000 Did you think the devil, when offering you a deal, would only offer you luxury instead of necessity?
00:24:31.000 It's an absurd proposition.
00:24:33.000 A deal with the devil isn't, how would you like an infinity pool and a golden statue of yourself?
00:24:37.000 Because people don't care about those things.
00:24:40.000 The deal with the devil is always, how would you like your children to have full bellies every night?
00:24:45.000 Serve me on your knees and I will make sure your children are fed.
00:24:49.000 And so I understand the terrifying nature of the Faustian deal.
00:24:54.000 But so many people, when I heard this from Owen Schroeder about the prison guards, I'm like, those guards saying, I know your work, I like what you do, I'm just doing my job?
00:25:02.000 What they are telling you is, I signed the devil's contract.
00:25:05.000 I think a lot of people though are, it's like Eric Bataxas and I were talking, it's like acid in your heart.
00:25:10.000 And it's like, I need to keep my job.
00:25:12.000 Well, you can, Eric says, you can keep your job and go to hell.
00:25:16.000 And about my children, and again, I don't have children and I can't fully empathize, but I would say your children are gonna respect you.
00:25:23.000 They're gonna respect you more if you do the right thing.
00:25:26.000 Maybe not.
00:25:27.000 I mean, I'll be honest.
00:25:28.000 I'm not sitting here to pretend that it's easy In any way, it's probably the hardest imaginable thing.
00:25:35.000 Again, I don't have kids.
00:25:36.000 I respect that.
00:25:37.000 And your kids may not understand.
00:25:39.000 See, I think it's the hardest imaginable thing, but you're stronger having gone through it.
00:25:43.000 I think your kids will respect you when they're older, and they fully understand the sacrifices made.
00:25:48.000 I mean, when I look back at the Founding Fathers, we're talking about wealthy dudes who had literally no reason to revolt.
00:25:54.000 No, no, no, hold on.
00:25:55.000 Like, there's a lot of grievances they listed, but these were grievances as leaders, and they were upset about what was being done to their communities and the future for their children.
00:26:05.000 When I said they had no reason, I'm saying these guys could have kissed the pinky ring of the king and been wealthy and wanted for nothing.
00:26:11.000 But they saw that the crown was abusive.
00:26:14.000 They saw that the regulars were abusive.
00:26:15.000 They saw farmers being killed.
00:26:17.000 And they said, we will not sit idly by in our luxury and comfort.
00:26:21.000 We will risk our sacred honor, our treasure, our blood, our families.
00:26:25.000 And they did.
00:26:26.000 And that is inspiration.
00:26:27.000 That is respect.
00:26:27.000 And Ben Franklin lost, basically, what were you gonna say?
00:26:29.000 Oh, I was gonna say, the thing is, they believed that there was a better option for their children.
00:26:33.000 And so this argument of like, well, I have kids, I need to provide for them is completely reasonable.
00:26:36.000 I understand that fear.
00:26:37.000 On the other hand, if you are helping a company that is ultimately Preaching a world that is destructive, what are you leaving for your children to grow up in?
00:26:45.000 I just, I, I, like, just to hammer and reiterate, the reason why I think James O'Keefe is seeing so many people stand up is that they've realized when the, the, this is the deal with the devil.
00:26:58.000 Of course it's going to help your family.
00:27:00.000 Of course your kids will eat food.
00:27:02.000 And you are scared about what happens.
00:27:03.000 The deal will never just be to give you a convertible.
00:27:08.000 Because, think about the bargaining power of, again, figurative or literal.
00:27:13.000 The devil comes to you with a deal.
00:27:16.000 What leverage does he have to say, I can give you a Ferrari or an Infinity Pool?
00:27:21.000 None!
00:27:21.000 You're gonna be like, I'm gonna give you my soul for wealth?
00:27:25.000 What does that mean to me?
00:27:26.000 Then he goes and says, your children will die unless you sign in blood my contract.
00:27:30.000 They say, I will sign, I will do anything you say.
00:27:31.000 That's right.
00:27:32.000 That's right.
00:27:32.000 I mean, it said that Elon kind of rejected that premise a few weeks ago, didn't he?
00:27:35.000 With Disney.
00:27:37.000 He's gonna blackmail me with money.
00:27:39.000 And I think that's the personification of this movement.
00:27:43.000 I mean, whistleblowing, you know, it's people going against the idea of a social contract, people inside the corporation, the presence of the outside on the inside.
00:27:54.000 These people are, again, Tim, I've never seen anything like this.
00:27:59.000 I mean, I would be perusing my DMs for a week and I might get a couple interesting, I work inside this company.
00:28:05.000 but it's just like clockwork.
00:28:08.000 And I think it's Elon, I think it's X, I think it's the platform people.
00:28:12.000 I can't believe that people in the government are just sliding into my DMs.
00:28:15.000 I'm like, dude, at least use Signal or something, but they'll just DM me on Instagram,
00:28:21.000 be like, I work for the DHS.
00:28:22.000 That's good.
00:28:23.000 You know why?
00:28:23.000 Why is that?
00:28:24.000 Because people are no longer scared.
00:28:26.000 Right.
00:28:27.000 The mentality is we have broken the dam, we are winning, we are winning culturally,
00:28:32.000 and I will no longer serve evil.
00:28:35.000 Do you think any of it has to do with the timing of the election?
00:28:37.000 Like, there's one year left, might as well come forward now.
00:28:40.000 I don't think it's... There's one year left!
00:28:41.000 Isn't that crazy?
00:28:43.000 I don't think you just mean about Biden's presidency, I think.
00:28:45.000 Who knows what I mean?
00:28:46.000 Whether it's a year away or a year and three months away, no, something is happening.
00:28:49.000 It might be the Elon thing, Elon's speech to Disney.
00:28:52.000 It's a confluence of events.
00:28:55.000 But the IBM story we did, I've never seen the CEO of IBM there, was on tape saying some things he shouldn't have said about Asians.
00:29:03.000 And then he gets on an all-staff call with IBM.
00:29:05.000 He says, no, this James O'Keefe video.
00:29:08.000 Do not respond to the video.
00:29:09.000 Do not give a reaction, everyone.
00:29:11.000 And then that was leaked to me by 10 people.
00:29:14.000 So and they can't fire.
00:29:15.000 They can't fire.
00:29:17.000 They can whack them all one person.
00:29:20.000 But if you have 118 leaks, it's actually impossible for HR within IBM to do anything about it.
00:29:27.000 Your ship is just sinking.
00:29:29.000 Exactly.
00:29:30.000 You got water coming out of this hole, that hole, there's nothing they can do.
00:29:33.000 You know, when a dam breaks, it usually is pretty destructive, and when like a sieve, if you sieve a balloon and it pops, that's essentially a pretty powerful explosive force, seemingly.
00:29:44.000 Are you concerned with what might happen if these corporations rupture from the inside?
00:29:48.000 I think it's happening and I've been thinking about this.
00:29:50.000 I'm kind of a victim of my own success.
00:29:52.000 I'm trying to figure out how to manage this dam breaking and how it can be leveraged for good.
00:29:58.000 I mean, it's always been a crisis of conscience with the whistleblower because you have to betray Betray your colleagues, your corporation, your employer, for the public's right to know the information.
00:30:10.000 And now it seems people are so fed up, so fed up, like with this immigration thing I was just talking about here, people getting, you know, refugees, everyone's a refugee crossing the border, here's a free airplane ticket, no security, go fly somewhere and now you can vote and buy a gun.
00:30:25.000 I mean, it's so crazy, it's like an SNL satire, that perhaps the American people are saying, I can't do this.
00:30:32.000 Pilots saying, and talking to Ashley, you should talk to Ashley too.
00:30:36.000 She's inundated with pilots.
00:30:38.000 Are they going to stop flying the airplanes?
00:30:41.000 I remember back when the mandates were on, pilots were also, a lot of pilots were starting to stand up.
00:30:47.000 I think what we are seeing over the past several years, culturally, we are winning.
00:30:53.000 More and more people, I mean, simply look at Donald Trump's polling, okay?
00:30:57.000 Trump is not a saint, Trump is not your hero, but a singular reflection, a nexus point of the sentiment of the people.
00:31:05.000 People who did not vote in 2020 swing heavily towards Donald Trump.
00:31:08.000 That indicates that a lot of people, and again I'm not saying Trump is a saint, but a lot of people are apprised of what is happening to this country and the world, and this is also indicative of more whistleblowers, more people stepping up, more people refusing to play ball in the machines game.
00:31:25.000 It feels like, in a way, it feels like people that are like, I've had enough of this system, let's expose it and call it out.
00:31:33.000 It's kind of like that moment in Indiana Jones where he's about to take the idol off the thing, but they don't have a bag of sand to put on, they just take the idol.
00:31:39.000 They're like, I'm done with it.
00:31:40.000 I just can't imagine being an 18-year-old voter this year, right?
00:31:44.000 When you're 10 to like middle school, whatever, life is pretty good, gas price down, Trump's in office, then you hit 14, COVID, Biden says all kinds of crazy stuff, he falls down constantly, we're on the brink of war in like three different places, and then you're 18 and you're like, I don't want to vote for this guy again, this is bad.
00:32:00.000 Well, the majority of whistleblowers in the 20th century, I think, suffered in obscurity, and as Jeffrey Wigand is a great example, that was a 60 Minutes guy who blew the whistle on nicotine, big tobacco, and his marriage ended, his mortgage ended, he was sued, he had security death threats, but the reverse effect is now happening.
00:32:18.000 It's not the whistleblower who is being targeted and subjected.
00:32:22.000 There's this weird inversion that is happening.
00:32:25.000 It's the guy who's the CEO of IBM who's now being subjected to online comments and who's facing pressure.
00:32:34.000 So there's this inversion in the power and the social pressures are actually like with DEI.
00:32:39.000 And now we have this new... Tim, you've pulled up this graphic.
00:32:42.000 Let me pull up this story.
00:32:43.000 A tweet from James O'Keefe.
00:32:45.000 James, do you want to read this out and explain what's going on?
00:32:48.000 Yeah, so this is a, you're looking at here, I don't think anyone has reported this, at least our team has not been able to find this on the internet.
00:32:55.000 If I stand corrected, let me know.
00:32:57.000 This is breaking news from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport this week.
00:33:01.000 You're looking at a ticket counter piece of paper.
00:33:05.000 This is given to immigrants, illegal immigrants, coming in the United States.
00:33:10.000 They ship them from different parts of Arizona to a welcome center, a school in Phoenix, and then they're picked up in limousines, I'm not making this up, black cars, that's an inside joke, black cars.
00:33:25.000 By the way, did you know non-profits are not allowed to hire black cars?
00:33:28.000 It's against IRS rules.
00:33:29.000 But these non-profits, yes, I'm just making a joke, a Project Veritas joke there.
00:33:36.000 So these immigrants are picked up in black cars and dropped off at the airport and these are documents that were given to me by various airport insiders.
00:33:43.000 It says, quote, please help me print my boarding pass.
00:33:47.000 I am a refugee and I do not speak the language.
00:33:50.000 Thank you.
00:33:51.000 We redacted the confirmation number there to protect the insider at the airport.
00:33:56.000 And a lot of these immigrants are not from Mexico, they're from all different countries across the world.
00:34:02.000 The government claims it's vetting these individuals prior to putting them up on planes, but we're reporting that a lot of the insider's tips contradict that.
00:34:10.000 We found that agents responsible for vetting the identification are relying solely on their word and they don't speak English.
00:34:17.000 So it's fascinating here, Tim, and just to backtrack for a minute for the audience, I was outside this airport.
00:34:25.000 The airline insiders confronted me.
00:34:27.000 Oh my gosh, James O'Keefe, you have to help us!
00:34:29.000 Every 30 minutes the buses pull up.
00:34:32.000 I interviewed the bus driver.
00:34:33.000 He said he was with a company called Jet Limousines.
00:34:36.000 And then we were able to figure out where they pick these people up.
00:34:39.000 It's at a welcome center in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:34:43.000 And they hire these car services to drop them off at the airports, and they're shipped across the country, New Jersey, New York, and places like that.
00:34:50.000 And technically, I think you would call that smuggling them across the country?
00:34:53.000 You might call that smuggling?
00:34:56.000 Wonder attack.
00:34:57.000 I followed up with Marianne Williamson last night, whose brother, we talked about immigration a bit, and her brother does immigration, he's a lawyer, and said that, her brother said that each of these individuals should be receiving what's called a credible fear interview.
00:35:10.000 And if you cannot establish that they have legitimate, credible fear, you send them back immediately.
00:35:15.000 You cannot take people in.
00:35:16.000 We haven't done that for years, right?
00:35:17.000 The thing about the border is that this has been an issue for decades and every political party has flipped on it.
00:35:23.000 Bill Clinton in his like 1995 State of the Union address said every American should be concerned about the number of illegal immigrants coming across the border and instead we just left a broken system to get worse and worse and worse.
00:35:33.000 No wonder airline pilots and all sorts of community members are frustrated by this.
00:35:37.000 I just think it's really funny that this like turning point sent all of these conservative people to Arizona.
00:35:42.000 Right?
00:35:42.000 While this was happening.
00:35:43.000 And everyone in the airport was noticing this.
00:35:45.000 Right.
00:35:45.000 I mean, that was the thing.
00:35:46.000 Ashley was there for it.
00:35:47.000 You were there for that.
00:35:47.000 Tyler Hines was there.
00:35:48.000 Now hold on.
00:35:49.000 Our crew, who flew through Chicago on their way, saw the same thing in Chicago.
00:35:54.000 So before even getting to TPUSA, we're getting messages from our crew being like, hey, we're on a plane.
00:35:59.000 It's all illegal immigrants.
00:36:02.000 They've got the bags.
00:36:03.000 And we're like, wow.
00:36:04.000 And then they're being dropped off in Chicago.
00:36:07.000 I get hundreds of these messages from people and say, I can't say who they are.
00:36:11.000 Hey, this is my throwaway account.
00:36:13.000 I set up a fake ex.
00:36:15.000 Don't reveal my name so I don't get in trouble.
00:36:17.000 But I know the location that we drop off migrants from Nogales, Tucson, Yuma here in Phoenix.
00:36:21.000 So they all can go to Phoenix Sky Harbor.
00:36:23.000 And they drop them off at this school, this welcome center, this school now turned welcome center.
00:36:29.000 We get hundreds of people coming in.
00:36:31.000 And anyway, I'm going back to Phoenix to follow up on this, because this is a fascinating story.
00:36:36.000 And they have all these car companies that they hire.
00:36:38.000 I'm trying to figure out who's doing this.
00:36:40.000 Is it the feds?
00:36:41.000 The state?
00:36:42.000 There's a lot more.
00:36:42.000 Who's paying for it?
00:36:43.000 Who's paying for it?
00:36:44.000 And by the way, one more thing about this, Tim, this whistleblowing.
00:36:46.000 Let me just add that there's nowhere for these people to actually, these insiders, to go.
00:36:51.000 Obviously, they can't go to the New York Times.
00:36:53.000 Because they'll hunt those people down like a trophy buck and print their real name.
00:36:58.000 But you gotta have guts to publish these stories, you know?
00:37:02.000 And citizen journalism here.
00:37:04.000 I think it is not hyperbole to say the 2024 election is the last election.
00:37:13.000 Until the next one.
00:37:14.000 No.
00:37:15.000 I mean, in terms of what this country is, this is it.
00:37:20.000 However, only if Joe Biden or the Democrats win.
00:37:25.000 I don't think it's hyperbolic.
00:37:27.000 When you look at what's going on, the federal government has been facilitating the Mass illegal migration into this country to the point where black residents in Chicago are on video right now screaming, this is no joke, an elderly black man got up at a meeting and said, Trump, get in here and clean this mess up.
00:37:47.000 I'm like, wow, when the Chicago black community is so fed up with the abuse, they're yelling for a Republican.
00:37:53.000 That's how bad it's gotten.
00:37:55.000 If the Democrats win in 2024, we will not survive four more years of 10,000-plus illegal immigrants every day.
00:38:03.000 What is your hypothesis?
00:38:04.000 Are they going to let them vote, or what do you think?
00:38:07.000 You mentioned something about camps.
00:38:10.000 So, Boston recently passed a bill for non-citizens to vote.
00:38:13.000 New York has had similar provisions.
00:38:15.000 Cities in California have had similar provisions.
00:38:17.000 Yes, we are marching towards, we are a couple years away.
00:38:21.000 If the Democrats win, non-citizens, illegal immigrants will be slowly granted voting powers.
00:38:26.000 And they're all considered refugees because they can just claim that.
00:38:30.000 I guess anybody can claim to be a refugee.
00:38:31.000 I probably should go to Mexico and just slide, I mean this is dangerous, but wear a hidden camera and just go across the border in disguise and just go through the whole process.
00:38:41.000 That would be a good idea if we have any brave people that want to sign up on the OMG website.
00:38:45.000 What would happen if the U.S.
00:38:46.000 brought in 15 million illegal immigrants, mostly fighting-age males, and then just load them up on boats and shipped them off to, like, the Taiwans, like, to Taiwan, and been like, okay, now you defend this place?
00:38:57.000 But Democrats would never let that happen because we use illegal immigrants to throw off the census data, right?
00:39:02.000 Remember when Trump was like, I would like the immigration status to be on the census.
00:39:06.000 Citizenship status.
00:39:07.000 Citizenship status.
00:39:08.000 And they were like, absolutely not, that's crazy, you're so racist.
00:39:11.000 Well, I wonder why, right?
00:39:12.000 Like, this is something that is...
00:39:15.000 The only reason someone would allow for this to happen is if they benefit from it in some way, and that's the issue here, right?
00:39:21.000 All of the illegal immigrants, especially those who are actually, you know, smuggled, brutalized, brought across in really dangerous and restrictive, terrible conditions.
00:39:29.000 I mean, there was a story two months ago about A shipping container full of, I think it was 60 people, who were all dead.
00:39:35.000 They were being trafficked across the border.
00:39:37.000 This is a brutal problem for everyone involved, right?
00:39:40.000 I don't think you should cross into the country illegally, but I also think that by incentivizing illegal immigration, by saying, if you get here, we'll just put you on an airplane and send you wherever you want to go, we are making all kinds of people take crazy risks that we shouldn't encourage.
00:39:52.000 I think it could happen that a bunch of 15 million immigrants come across illegally and then get shipped off to Taiwan to defend the island, or to either Ukraine to defend Ukraine, but then they'd still get their census tally at whatever state they were in before they got shipped out.
00:40:06.000 And then they get their citizenship if they survive.
00:40:08.000 If you're an illegal immigrant, you put it in the state.
00:40:09.000 This is one of the issues, right?
00:40:10.000 So if you come across the border illegally, they'll say you have a court date.
00:40:12.000 It's in three years from now.
00:40:14.000 But then you never go to that court date.
00:40:15.000 So I don't know how we would then recall all of the people we allowed in illegally.
00:40:20.000 You'd have to immediately send them and we aren't good at that.
00:40:22.000 We'd rather send them wherever they want to go in the U.S.
00:40:24.000 even though they don't have legal status.
00:40:25.000 Tim, I tend to keep this pretty, I keep my reporting pretty factual without making judgments.
00:40:30.000 How do you handle, I do see about 20% of comments, you know, that kind of the empathy people have for these poor people who are in a horrible place just trying to have a better life.
00:40:39.000 How do you deal with that talking point?
00:40:41.000 These poor people want to have a better life?
00:40:42.000 Yeah, that type of thing you get.
00:40:44.000 I welcome them with open arms.
00:40:46.000 I hope every poor person in the world who wants to come to America comes to America through the legal process properly.
00:40:54.000 Right.
00:40:55.000 And that legal process means it might take them 20 years, but they're all welcome to apply and join our community done right.
00:41:02.000 Why?
00:41:03.000 You get this talking point, like Marianne Williamson said the other day, Migrants are a boost to the economy, and like, yes, you are absolutely correct, when managed properly.
00:41:11.000 Right.
00:41:11.000 When they, when we bring migrants in, like we did, she says, how many of your grandparents, you know, were migrants?
00:41:17.000 And I'm like, right, when they arrived on Ellis Island and said, now we will integrate, and we will assimilate, and be like the Americans.
00:41:23.000 That's not what they're doing today.
00:41:24.000 Today, they're cutting the razor wire and saying, everybody, quick, run!
00:41:27.000 And they're dumping these people in Chicago, where they have nowhere to go, and now Chicago's like, we're gonna build mass camps.
00:41:35.000 Okay, look, What do you call large camps?
00:41:38.000 And I mean, this is a literal question, not a rhetorical one.
00:41:41.000 What do you call large camps where they house like a political faction of people?
00:41:46.000 You know, the problem is I don't want to say concentration camp because everyone just immediately thinks Nazi Germany.
00:41:50.000 I am not arguing for prison or death camps, but quite literally they are going to create migrant detention camps.
00:41:57.000 These people are being shipped in in Chicago and they're putting up, they're building fences and I think one of them got delayed, but they're putting them in schools.
00:42:05.000 They're putting them in police stations.
00:42:08.000 If Trump wins in 2024, I can already tell you what 2025 is going to look like.
00:42:13.000 Donald, there's going to be videos of people being loaded up onto trains, onto buses, and sent to camps for deportation, and the left is going to screech like banshees, he's Hitler.
00:42:24.000 It's happening again.
00:42:25.000 Heaven's me.
00:42:25.000 Quick, everyone take up your arms.
00:42:27.000 They want... It's 4D chess across the board, right?
00:42:31.000 Everybody is playing some advanced strategy of victory.
00:42:34.000 Lawsuits are being prepared.
00:42:36.000 And what we're seeing today will have massive impacts in the next two or three years, and longer, obviously, throughout the history of this country, or what's left of it.
00:42:43.000 But what's being done today, there is a plan for what comes next.
00:42:46.000 Yeah, I told you guys this, I think you and Michael Malice the other night, Einstein, when the Nazis were coming to power, he saw it early and got out of the country and fled to the United States.
00:42:55.000 People have already fled the U.S.
00:42:57.000 I'm feeling that right now and I don't like that, but that is what I feel and what I see is like, yo, if...
00:43:04.000 Mass illegal immigration, record high inflation, world wars all popping up all over the place, the people arresting their political opponents like, okay guys, and I don't want to black pill you, and I don't want to give up on this wonderful constitution we got, but what does the country even mean?
00:43:21.000 Is it the land that you live on?
00:43:22.000 Is it the constitution that's fit?
00:43:24.000 Is it the people that are running the military?
00:43:26.000 Like, what is this country?
00:43:29.000 I mean, that's the question, right?
00:43:30.000 I don't know where you would like to go if you were to leave the US.
00:43:35.000 El Salvador.
00:43:36.000 El Salvador, maybe.
00:43:37.000 I mean, there are interesting places.
00:43:38.000 One of the issues is countries are built on a sense of patriotism and a sense of community and loyalty, right?
00:43:45.000 You would theoretically want to stay and fix it.
00:43:48.000 On the other hand, I understand the instinct to be like, it's just going up in flames.
00:43:53.000 I need to leave.
00:43:54.000 And I think that there are people who immigrated to the U.S.
00:43:56.000 from their own countries, legally immigrated here, who made the same decision.
00:44:00.000 And I wonder what their conversation is like right now.
00:44:02.000 Do we stay in the U.S.
00:44:03.000 where we went for a better life or try and fix it?
00:44:06.000 I met a guy at MGM National Harbor playing poker.
00:44:09.000 And, uh, you know, you're at the poker table, you're shooting a shit, you're talking.
00:44:13.000 And he mentioned he was from El Salvador.
00:44:15.000 And I was like, oh, I hear it's getting really, really good down there.
00:44:17.000 This was a few months ago.
00:44:18.000 And he goes, yeah, actually, my family's moving back.
00:44:20.000 You're going back to El Salvador!
00:44:22.000 It's like, yeah, crime is way down, the economy is doing really well, so my family wants to go home.
00:44:26.000 Better to be a poor farmer than a metal-in-the-politics man.
00:44:28.000 How is the First Amendment in El Salvador?
00:44:30.000 I don't know the politics of that.
00:44:31.000 Do they have a... Do Article III courts protect the First... I think it's a very important thing in the United States.
00:44:37.000 I think the issue is not about the Constitution and the First Amendment.
00:44:42.000 When we had free speech in the 70s, they still arrested George Carlin for swearing.
00:44:46.000 The issue is, do you have good leaders?
00:44:49.000 And so, my view is, I believe that Naib Bukele would respect legitimate journalistic endeavors.
00:44:58.000 Who's that?
00:44:58.000 He's the current president.
00:44:59.000 Although, I'm not going to pretend to know enough about the government functions and guaranteed rights.
00:45:05.000 The corporate press in the United States argued that he was a despot for arresting all these gang members and cartel members and things like that.
00:45:10.000 But, you know, spare me.
00:45:11.000 These people are... The New York Times are grotesque monsters.
00:45:14.000 Yes.
00:45:15.000 I mean, I think that's the next, that's one of the tests that we're going to find here in this year is the limits of the First Amendment.
00:45:21.000 Because you talk about camps in Chicago, that may be true.
00:45:25.000 But if that is true, I guarantee you there's going to be video inside of there and things leaking like a sieve.
00:45:30.000 We're going to get so much information.
00:45:33.000 I think what you're going to see this year is going to be horrible.
00:45:36.000 That's the bad news.
00:45:37.000 The good news is All the horrible things will be captured on video and leaked to the world.
00:45:42.000 But my concern is deepfakes.
00:45:44.000 What's coming?
00:45:45.000 See, everyone always talks about AI, and if I knew the solution about AI, I'd be a billionaire, because everyone wants to know the solution to AI.
00:45:51.000 But I think the discipline of verification has been a thing that's been there for a hundred years.
00:45:56.000 You have to check things out.
00:45:57.000 You have to verify it.
00:45:59.000 Look man, a year and a half ago I made a deep fake of Nancy Pelosi and it was a grotesque
00:46:07.000 disgusting picture and it was hilarious.
00:46:10.000 A year later, AI is so good, you can make a photorealistic picture of Nancy Pelosi.
00:46:15.000 When it comes to video, verification is not the issue, and I'll give you an example.
00:46:20.000 Donald Trump stands up at a rally and says, you had very fine people on both sides and I am not talking about the white supremacists because they should be condemned totally.
00:46:33.000 We know that video.
00:46:35.000 We know the media manipulated and cut out of context what Trump said.
00:46:38.000 He said, I am not talking about the Nazis and the white nationalists.
00:46:41.000 They should be condemned totally.
00:46:43.000 The deepfake issue is not going to be a video of Donald Trump saying something racist.
00:46:48.000 The deepfake video I'm scared of is Donald Trump saying almost 99% verbatim what he did say, but what they'll do is they'll change it.
00:46:56.000 So whereas Trump actually said, and they should be condemned totally!
00:47:00.000 The deepfake version will go, some of them should be condemned totally!
00:47:04.000 And then no one will know which one is the original video because they're near identical.
00:47:08.000 The left will say, some of them should be condemned?
00:47:12.000 Oh man, he's saying some of the Nazis are good?
00:47:14.000 And then you'll argue, no, no, no, he didn't actually say some of them, that's deepfake.
00:47:16.000 No, you're lying.
00:47:17.000 You made the deepfake.
00:47:19.000 Trump was defending them.
00:47:20.000 Right.
00:47:21.000 Biden already launched his campaign off that lie.
00:47:24.000 And so, that's one example of the fear.
00:47:27.000 A single word being changed, and it will be weaponized, and there's no verification of it.
00:47:31.000 Also, like, a presidential address could be deep-fed.
00:47:34.000 Do you guys remember when Jim Acosta tried ripping the mic out of the hand of that White House aide?
00:47:38.000 And the country was split.
00:47:41.000 Half of people were like, she tried ripping the mic from Jim Acosta's hand.
00:47:45.000 And then the other half was like, Acosta tried ripping the mic from her hand.
00:47:48.000 And no one knew for sure.
00:47:50.000 I think it's fair to say, and there were all these deep analysis videos, drawing lines and like figuring it out, it's fairly obvious that Jim Acosta was pulling the mic to try and, he was trying to hold it and she was, she grabbed it and then he jerked to try and pull it back from her because he was trying to yell at Trump.
00:48:07.000 But either way, You have a video and no one agrees what happened.
00:48:12.000 Yeah, but to kind of quote George Carlin when he talked about the world plus plastic, there'll
00:48:16.000 be a new paradigm where that will be what you just described will be happening to everyone.
00:48:21.000 And if that is true, the Dota Trump, then both sides will do it.
00:48:24.000 You mentioned something about Pelosi.
00:48:26.000 So there'll just be a new paradigm where, where people will distrust things a little
00:48:30.000 more perhaps.
00:48:31.000 And journalism is all about trust.
00:48:33.000 And who do you trust?
00:48:35.000 But I still stand by my statement.
00:48:37.000 The discipline of verification is something that existed before video.
00:48:41.000 I mean, people in newspapers report according to people familiar with the matter.
00:48:45.000 And they're reporting anonymously sourced statements.
00:48:48.000 That we don't have video of.
00:48:49.000 Right.
00:48:50.000 So don't those journalism rules apply to this new era?
00:48:53.000 When everything is questionable, people will simply choose what confirms their bias.
00:48:58.000 Okay.
00:48:59.000 So with these, with deepfakes getting as good as they are, Yeah, you're gonna say, hold on, was Trump even really at that rally?
00:49:08.000 And then you'll pull up the video, and you'll be like, okay, Trump really was there, did he actually say this?
00:49:12.000 There's two versions of the same event.
00:49:13.000 Can you imagine a riot, and then they deepfake somebody into the riot, and then that person gets arrested for being at the riot?
00:49:18.000 January 6th photos?
00:49:19.000 Yeah, stuff like that.
00:49:20.000 Let me ask you.
00:49:23.000 This is the reality of politics in a low-trust society.
00:49:25.000 You're talking about a post-truth society.
00:49:27.000 We are there.
00:49:29.000 If a police officer says you broke the law, you did.
00:49:32.000 Good luck.
00:49:33.000 Good luck.
00:49:34.000 You go to court, and you get a speeding ticket.
00:49:37.000 And you say, Your Honor, I wasn't speeding.
00:49:38.000 The cop says, Your Honor, he was speeding.
00:49:40.000 Guess what?
00:49:40.000 You lose.
00:49:41.000 That's it.
00:49:41.000 I mentioned to you in Miami at the event that we did, the IRL event, that I thought O'Keefe Media Group, a cool thing to do would be to build some technology that can identify deepfakes.
00:49:50.000 Right.
00:49:50.000 Because you've got the trust and that would be cool coming from you and your organization or an organization that you work with.
00:49:56.000 I think trust is critical.
00:49:59.000 Journalistic trust.
00:50:01.000 They trust me.
00:50:02.000 Why?
00:50:02.000 Because of what I've been through.
00:50:03.000 And there are other people they trust, too.
00:50:05.000 But I think that's critical.
00:50:06.000 And I think I don't know enough about technology to build that, but it's a good idea.
00:50:09.000 But I also think here's one thing they can't fake.
00:50:11.000 The person on the inside going public.
00:50:13.000 The courageous thing.
00:50:15.000 That can't be a fake.
00:50:16.000 If someone says, I work for the IRS, the lowest learner, or I work for the FBI, or I work for this institution, and you know what?
00:50:23.000 I'm jumping on a grenade for my country.
00:50:24.000 That's a real thing, isn't it?
00:50:26.000 And then there's a reaction from the institution.
00:50:28.000 There's always... Well, you could... Counter Intel ops and things like that.
00:50:32.000 There is.
00:50:33.000 There is.
00:50:33.000 I mean, there is.
00:50:34.000 I mean, you're talking about a totally fake world.
00:50:37.000 We're totally posh.
00:50:38.000 I'm a little bit more of an optimist.
00:50:39.000 I believe there is one truth.
00:50:41.000 And it can be verified through multiple sources.
00:50:43.000 Like if one guy sends you a video of a nut...
00:50:47.000 He basically acts as if he's someone else.
00:50:50.000 How many people think you are a far-right extremist?
00:50:53.000 They've been saying that for 20 years, but I've stopped using those words recently.
00:50:57.000 I used to say Dr. Tapes.
00:50:58.000 Tim, they used to say that 10 years ago.
00:50:59.000 Remember that?
00:51:00.000 He's the tape doctor.
00:51:02.000 He doctors the tape.
00:51:03.000 I'm like, can you just name one?
00:51:05.000 By the way, I have no money.
00:51:07.000 I'm using Final Cut 7.
00:51:08.000 I wish I knew how to... They said with the acorn story that I put CGI to make the people's lips move.
00:51:14.000 I'm like, I don't even know how to put the font other than Courier New.
00:51:18.000 But the last 24 hours of my life, here's what I did.
00:51:22.000 I had people Message me from JetLimo, another JetLimo, five sources, and I was corroborating the information I had by talking to multiple sources inside the company to verify that guy was the real person's name.
00:51:33.000 This is what journalists do.
00:51:35.000 They verify information by getting multiple accounts of the version of events to ensure that the thing that they're looking at is real.
00:51:44.000 I think that's what ethical journalists do, and that's sort of the problem.
00:51:47.000 But no one does that anymore.
00:51:48.000 That's what I mean.
00:51:49.000 Nobody has the time, and it's laziness, it's incompetence, it's a lack of, usually it's economics.
00:51:54.000 But my point is, that video of me talking to the bus driver, if that wasn't my video, which it was, but he said, I work for Jet Limousine, I do facecheck.id, I find his picture online, there's his LinkedIn, I talk to his colleague, I talk to his boss, then I publish the video.
00:52:09.000 So I've verified that the video that I've taken is real.
00:52:12.000 And that does, you're right, That doesn't happen anymore on social media.
00:52:17.000 I feel like, and maybe I'm biased, but like conservative moderate journalists would maybe
00:52:22.000 take all those steps, but someone who is trying to smear someone says, I don't care if it's not
00:52:26.000 real. In fact, I would prefer if you do not follow up with me at all, do not see that I have not.
00:52:30.000 Or they paint or they paint the New York Times reporters paint this elaborate using words like
00:52:36.000 document show how far the conservative group would go to not run afoul of the law.
00:52:41.000 Another way of saying that is we check with our lawyers to make sure what we do is legal, but they make it, word it in such a way.
00:52:46.000 Or like this person who has been accused of doctoring tapes based on some random blog post from the internet that is also not verified, that has no backup.
00:52:55.000 That's right.
00:52:57.000 It's just repeating the lie and making it bigger.
00:52:59.000 I mean, it's the idea of basically being a Google felon, right?
00:53:02.000 False information reported about you that becomes part of the... Circularly sourced information.
00:53:06.000 Right.
00:53:06.000 Yes.
00:53:07.000 Wikipedia.
00:53:07.000 If you got a video and they're like, this guy said this racist stuff at the company, this executive, and then...
00:53:14.000 It turns out to be a deep fake.
00:53:15.000 Yeah.
00:53:15.000 Yeah, I see what you're saying.
00:53:16.000 How do you verify that?
00:53:17.000 I mean, one of the ways you verify it, for example, is getting it from two different sources from two different angles.
00:53:22.000 And, you know, there are different ways.
00:53:25.000 I mean, there's no hard and fast rule on how to verify the thing.
00:53:30.000 But I tell my reporters, if you put a gun to your mother's head, are you 100% sure that that's true before you report it?
00:53:36.000 And that's the standard.
00:53:38.000 And Tim, I mean, it's a good point.
00:53:39.000 It's worth discussing.
00:53:42.000 There's got to be a way in this post-truth world to verify that what you're looking at is real.
00:53:47.000 There are people who care about the truth and want to know and will verify, and I think those are the people who are on our side.
00:53:52.000 Yeah, they'll be contacting you.
00:53:53.000 And then there are mindless zealots who don't care.
00:53:55.000 I mean, did you see Hasan Piker's response to Ashley St.
00:53:58.000 Clair?
00:53:58.000 No, I didn't.
00:53:59.000 He made this ridiculous Low IQ tweet where he was like, Oh my God, foreigners are flying on planes.
00:54:06.000 How could this possibly happen?
00:54:07.000 Oh my God, send help.
00:54:09.000 And all of his fans are laughing and clapping for him because it's like when you got mindless drones who don't know or don't care.
00:54:16.000 There are two kinds of people in this world.
00:54:19.000 I mean, the truth is there's like a ton of different kinds of people, but right now, you've got the people who are more independently minded, and they're wondering, what am I doing, and is it right?
00:54:26.000 And then you have the other group that says, I just want to have the pitchfork and be in the mob.
00:54:30.000 That's it.
00:54:31.000 Yeah, I think 2024, it's the year to focus on the people that care about the truth, and the other people are just going to be friction.
00:54:38.000 Let me pull up this story here from Politico.
00:54:40.000 Trump allies and MAGA luminaries move to kill off the Haley for VP buzz.
00:54:46.000 Haley's rise has prompted speculation she'd be a logical running mate for Trump.
00:54:49.000 This is fake news.
00:54:50.000 This is an absolutely fake story, and I'm willing to bet that these two people who wrote it fabricated it through clever manipulation.
00:54:57.000 What I mean by that is, you take a morsel of truth, and you can make it mean whatever you want it to mean.
00:55:02.000 You can make it convey whatever you want it to convey.
00:55:04.000 Take a look at this.
00:55:06.000 The fervent effort to kill off Haley's veep buzz before it truly takes off has come from the former, as the former U.N.
00:55:10.000 ambassador and ex-South Carolina governor is gaining momentum in the Republican primary.
00:55:13.000 It has prompted speculation she'd be a logical choice as a running mate for Trump, who has maintained a wide polling lead, blah blah blah.
00:55:19.000 Her eyes have caught the attention of the former president, who has recently quizzed people outside his campaign for their impressions of Haley, according to three people familiar with the conversation.
00:55:27.000 Quote, What do you think of Nikki?
00:55:29.000 Trump had asked.
00:55:30.000 It's not unusual for Trump to survey donors outside advisors and members of his Mar-a-Lago resort on personnel matters.
00:55:36.000 He's also blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:55:38.000 What did they say?
00:55:40.000 He pressed allies for the impressions of other Republicans, etc, etc.
00:55:43.000 But Haley has been the subject of his most recent focus.
00:55:45.000 Haley's polling surges alarms on staunch Trump confidants who are acutely aware the former president pays close attention to survey data, etc, etc.
00:55:53.000 So they're referencing, uh, during a phone conversation with one ally about Haley, Trump indicated that he was aware of the criticisms of her, but nonetheless wanted to get this person's take about the former ambassador, according to a person familiar with the call.
00:56:05.000 Here's what likely really happened.
00:56:08.000 Donald Trump probably called someone and said, yeah, I'm hearing a lot of people in the media talking about it.
00:56:13.000 Yeah, how are you doing?
00:56:15.000 These journalists then say, the reason why Trump is not quoted here, if someone truly came to them, three people apparently, familiar with this call, you'd think they would go, Donald Trump said, in fact, there's an earlier quote, what do you think of Nikki, Trump had asked, where's the rest of what he said, why?
00:56:31.000 Because they don't wanna get sued.
00:56:33.000 So I always explain this to people, the media will lie, when they ask you for a quote, no matter what you say, they will find a way to make it the narrative they want.
00:56:44.000 For example, A journalist contacts James O'Keefe and says, we're going to write a story about you.
00:56:49.000 It's a profile.
00:56:50.000 I'm curious, what's your take on dogs?
00:56:53.000 And then James says, I love dogs.
00:56:55.000 I think dogs are fantastic.
00:56:56.000 Who doesn't love dogs?
00:56:58.000 And they'll go, ooh, that's a quote we can't run.
00:56:59.000 I got an idea.
00:57:00.000 When asked about whether James O'Keefe liked dogs, he asked an intriguing question, seemingly confused, indicating, in fact, he may not actually like dogs at all.
00:57:10.000 When they don't use quotes, they're lying to you.
00:57:12.000 Well, this, like, what do you think of Haley?
00:57:14.000 They don't say really anything other than it's on this supposed call.
00:57:18.000 I mean, you could easily pull it from, like, a rally.
00:57:20.000 Like, what if Trump walked out of a rally and was like, what do you guys think of Nikki Haley?
00:57:23.000 And they all booed, right?
00:57:25.000 Like, this could be from anything.
00:57:27.000 It's so random.
00:57:28.000 Trump could have been on the phone with Steve Bannon, who knows, and then he's like, yeah, I saw what Tucker said about Haley, as if anyone actually cares.
00:57:39.000 What do you think about Haley?
00:57:40.000 As if anyone's going to ask that question.
00:57:42.000 And they run that quote specifically out of context to make it seem like Donald Trump actually wants Haley.
00:57:47.000 I think she's about to cancel her campaign, said Trump.
00:57:49.000 He might have said, he might have said, uh, I've heard a bunch of criticism about her.
00:57:53.000 What do you think about her?
00:57:54.000 The way I look at it is like, I don't know.
00:57:55.000 And he's like, all right, The way I look at this is a journalism professor said many years ago, he said the way you deal with these is every time they use these, so this is anonymously sourced here, according to people familiar with the matter, the way I see it is that you need more of your stories to produce actual evidence, like over 51% should be documents or video, but this is like
00:58:15.000 The New York Times is usually 95-100% anonymously sourced material.
00:58:19.000 Random garbage.
00:58:20.000 So it's like taking money out of an ATM.
00:58:22.000 I have to deposit into my bank account because I'm withdrawing upon my own journalistic credibility.
00:58:27.000 If I'm going to say, trust me by virtue of the decree that I'm to be trusted.
00:58:32.000 Tim's right.
00:58:33.000 I have no reason to trust those two guys.
00:58:35.000 Check it out.
00:58:36.000 I'll give you an example of what may have happened.
00:58:39.000 Let's say that quote from Trump is real.
00:58:41.000 So Trump's on the phone after the last GOP debate and he goes, man, Ron's campaign is not doing too well.
00:58:50.000 I'm seeing he's down in the polls.
00:58:52.000 And then they're like, yep, he is crashing and burning.
00:58:54.000 And then Trump goes, I think they're all crashing and burning.
00:58:57.000 What do you think about Haley?
00:58:59.000 They take that quote and turn it into, Donald Trump was curious about Haley's a VP pick because he asked, what do you think about Haley?
00:59:05.000 It could have been in the context of him mocking the failure of other campaigns.
00:59:07.000 We don't know.
00:59:08.000 And I get this emails all the time, the very last second, or even like while they're publishing the story, they send me the New York Times sends you this whole thing.
00:59:15.000 And I, I call them up on the phone and record it and they hang up the phone.
00:59:18.000 I mean, here's a tactic that you should do.
00:59:20.000 If you ever get asked for comment by the media, publish your statement to your entire audience before they go to air their story.
00:59:30.000 There's nothing they can do.
00:59:31.000 Because you've made it clear, okay world, here is my response.
00:59:35.000 I have a pretty large following, many people don't, but that's what Trump could do.
00:59:39.000 But I think the challenge, I agree, but the challenge is Politico knows our audience doesn't care about Politico articles.
00:59:47.000 That's true.
00:59:47.000 And the people who read Politico are low-information individuals.
00:59:50.000 No, Tim, your point about the world being segmented where you're only playing to your audience is a very good point, and I get that.
00:59:56.000 It's not just only to your audience.
00:59:59.000 You know, the side that we are on is not the quote-unquote right.
01:00:03.000 You can call it whatever you want.
01:00:05.000 I don't think it is.
01:00:06.000 I think it's just good and evil, true and false at this point.
01:00:08.000 Yes, agreed.
01:00:09.000 They call you right-wing, but you don't come out and advocate policy.
01:00:14.000 No, never.
01:00:15.000 You're like, here's a politician saying a thing, and they're like, aha, he's right-wing.
01:00:18.000 It's like, well, hold on.
01:00:20.000 If he was coming out saying, I'm opposed to these policies, in favor of these policies, so vote for this person, I have opinions on politics all day, every day.
01:00:28.000 So if they want to accuse me of something, fine, I get it.
01:00:30.000 But I think it is the liars, the top-down control, and the ignorant versus those who want freedom, meritocracy, honesty, truth, etc.
01:00:38.000 Yeah, I try to keep it very factual, actually.
01:00:41.000 There's plenty of facts, there's plenty of Factually, things say, but that's fascinating.
01:00:46.000 I love this sort of masterclass and going through an article.
01:00:49.000 And one of the things that they also do is they'll send me an article and say, please comment.
01:00:54.000 And then I'll give them a comment that's quite material to the circumstance.
01:00:57.000 And they'll say, James O'Keefe did not respond to what we was asked about.
01:01:01.000 Well, it's like, print what I want, print what I said, if you really want to have fairness, which is all these journalists do.
01:01:07.000 But I think, yeah, I think it's a great exercise going through this like you're doing.
01:01:12.000 I think if journalists, maybe if they want to get comments from now on, it should be live.
01:01:16.000 The comments should be live.
01:01:18.000 It should all be on a chat thing on a website where it happens in real time.
01:01:21.000 You can't talk to them.
01:01:22.000 Look, if they come to you, and again, using the dog analogy, if they said, do you support the working class?
01:01:34.000 And you go, absolutely, I support the working class.
01:01:37.000 Instead of writing your quote, they'll say, Ian sarcastically mocked working class people and asked if you supported them.
01:01:43.000 And you'll be like, no I didn't!
01:01:44.000 I said I supported them!
01:01:46.000 And they'll be like, yeah, sarcastically.
01:01:47.000 Yeah, I think the age of relying on someone else to represent you is over, man.
01:01:52.000 You gotta represent yourself.
01:01:53.000 I mean, one of the other issues is that if you feel like you can't talk to the press, right, they'll go to the person who will feel like they can talk to them, which is typically someone who feels like they have a friendly relationship with the publication.
01:02:04.000 So you're getting a biased viewpoint because someone who's like, I don't trust you, you're always trying to represent me in a negative way, you're always saying I hate the working class, whatever, They're ultimately gonna pull away and so the narrative becomes more insulated that way.
01:02:15.000 Yeah.
01:02:15.000 One of the things that they do is they call themselves credible.
01:02:19.000 There was one story we did.
01:02:21.000 So Anderson Cooper, this guy from the Washington Post, Jacob Bagage is his name.
01:02:25.000 He literally looks like Humpty Dumpty.
01:02:26.000 He's got his oval face.
01:02:28.000 And Bhagat says, well, Anderson, we're credible journalists.
01:02:31.000 So they say we're credible sources.
01:02:34.000 So they rely upon this virtue that they've assigned to themselves that they are credible by virtue of their own decree that they are that way.
01:02:42.000 And their anonymously sourced stuff is permitted to contradict incontrovertible evidence.
01:02:48.000 And that's why I go back to this trust thing.
01:02:50.000 It's just the experts, the credible sources.
01:02:53.000 But you're making a good point.
01:02:54.000 Is incontrovertible evidence incontrovertible?
01:02:58.000 Because it could be a deepfake.
01:03:01.000 Well, I think the issue is you're right about verification.
01:03:04.000 Our side will always appreciate verification, sourcing, and will seek out those they can trust, those who are willing to admit they're wrong.
01:03:11.000 I hate saying that it's our, but there is a group of people.
01:03:14.000 It's a way of behavior.
01:03:15.000 It's a way of behavior.
01:03:17.000 Values.
01:03:17.000 There are people who, look, This is why we like Marianne Williamson, and we're grateful that she came on.
01:03:22.000 Because she is a good person, and I believe she's an honest person.
01:03:26.000 She openly talked about her views, but she gets her news from bad sources.
01:03:31.000 Not anymore, not after last night.
01:03:33.000 Well, it improves.
01:03:34.000 And that's why we're grateful she comes on.
01:03:35.000 But when, when I, when, uh, it was a really amazing moment last night when we showed Marianne Williamson the whiteness contract from the book Not My Idea, she almost cried.
01:03:43.000 She had never seen it before.
01:03:45.000 And so she's getting this narrative about banning books and she's like, oh, Republicans are crazy.
01:03:49.000 But the problem with Marian's source of information is that she's likely hearing second-hand opinions from someone who watched CNN and MSNBC, whereas James is actually recording people saying the words and publishing them
01:04:06.000 She then hears her friend go, oh, James O'Keefe fabricated that video.
01:04:10.000 And she goes, wow.
01:04:11.000 Then when she gets into a political debate, someone says, didn't you see the video from James O'Keefe?
01:04:15.000 And I shouldn't say Marianne, but the liberal will then go, he fabricated that.
01:04:18.000 There are going to be a substantial minority of people whose minds have actually been changed.
01:04:23.000 Like I hired this guy named Jason Watkins.
01:04:25.000 He's a professor at ASU Journalism School, Tim.
01:04:28.000 He teaches journalism at the Cronkite School.
01:04:31.000 He used to be a leftist.
01:04:33.000 His mind was actually changed.
01:04:35.000 I'm not, am I making this up?
01:04:36.000 I might call it that.
01:04:38.000 People think, oh, that's insane.
01:04:39.000 There are people who actually do change their minds.
01:04:42.000 And if 5% or 1%, let's just call it 1% of people change their minds or their hearts, then One would even argue if one person changes their mind that you've made a difference.
01:04:52.000 So I don't think you need to affect the majority of people.
01:04:55.000 And of course some people say it's a fake thing, but you know.
01:04:58.000 Alright, here we go.
01:04:59.000 Not being angry too is a real big part.
01:05:01.000 I bet the Founding Fathers weren't angry guys.
01:05:03.000 They strike me as like really level-headed dudes.
01:05:05.000 No, some of them were super angry.
01:05:06.000 But it's a mixed bag.
01:05:09.000 I'm gonna pull up this tweet here.
01:05:11.000 Let's roll.
01:05:12.000 Will Chamberlain tweeted out a quote from Nikki Haley in 2020, saying, We should all stand with Bubba Wallace today against the cowards who secretly put the noose in his garage stall.
01:05:21.000 Watch your back, cowards.
01:05:22.000 Bubba has a bigger army than you do.
01:05:23.000 Ugh, cringe.
01:05:25.000 Well, we all know about Nikki Haley's cringe, but Will Chamberlain said, Meet Trump's VP pick.
01:05:30.000 I responded, I'll bet you $1,000 he doesn't pick Haley.
01:05:34.000 Will Chamberlain replies, give me 4 to 1 odds, and you're on.
01:05:38.000 My response?
01:05:39.000 If Trump picks Haley, I'll give you $4,000.
01:05:42.000 If he picks anyone else, you give me $1,000.
01:05:45.000 Will responded, and if it's a push, if Trump doesn't win the nod, if so, deal.
01:05:51.000 And I said, let's get it bets on.
01:05:54.000 And he said, all right, bet.
01:05:56.000 I am so confident.
01:05:57.000 I actually don't know if it's a real bet, or we're just joking, to be completely honest.
01:06:00.000 No, it's real.
01:06:00.000 It's in writing, in the contract.
01:06:03.000 The world's going to hold you to it.
01:06:04.000 Like, for sure, for sure.
01:06:06.000 And I'll stand by it if it is real.
01:06:08.000 But Will may have been trolling and I'm goofing off, but you know, in the end, it'll be funny when Will comes on the show and then we can, you know, depending on what happens, if Trump doesn't or does, we'll resolve it.
01:06:20.000 But my point with this is not to actually say I want to bet cash.
01:06:23.000 It's just that I'm so confident Donald Trump will not pick Nikki Haley that I'm willing to make a bet I'll have to talk to Will and ask him if he was serious about it, but it's fun anyway.
01:06:34.000 And I will, you know, if it is.
01:06:35.000 But I'm so confident that I'm not worried about 4-1 odds.
01:06:38.000 Yeah, the thing is, the Nikki Haley BP rumor, I feel like it's just the mainstream media trying desperately to say it has influence over the conservative Primary or the Republican primary.
01:06:48.000 I think ultimately we know that she is not the VP choice.
01:06:53.000 I obviously think I've said this a couple times on the show.
01:06:55.000 I think one of the mistakes we make is thinking that the only options for VP are the people we see on the debate stage.
01:07:00.000 There's actually a much deeper deck of potential people anyone could pick from.
01:07:05.000 It doesn't just happen to be that who else has launched a presidential campaign.
01:07:08.000 But I think, you know, there's too much bad blood between Nikki Haley and Donald Trump.
01:07:13.000 And I don't think she would garner him any major support anywhere he needs it.
01:07:17.000 Is that like, I didn't know they had bad blood, did they not get along?
01:07:20.000 Yeah, they've sniped each other a ton.
01:07:21.000 Yeah, he doesn't seem to enjoy working with people that he's sniped with.
01:07:25.000 Yeah, I mean why would you, right?
01:07:26.000 We're talking about trust all night tonight.
01:07:27.000 Plus Tucker, so this is would you have taken 10 to 1 odds is what I want to know.
01:07:31.000 Tucker said on stage at turning point he would actually advocate against that ticket.
01:07:37.000 If Trump picked Haley he would say do not vote for Trump.
01:07:39.000 So I think Trump listens to Tucker.
01:07:41.000 That's why I'm on board.
01:07:42.000 I don't think there's any chance in hell he's gonna go with Nikki Haley at this point.
01:07:46.000 Tucker suggested he pick Vivek Ramaswamy.
01:07:49.000 I also suggested that.
01:07:50.000 I think that he would be the right move.
01:07:51.000 We almost always said he wouldn't take a VP pick when he was here with us when Seamus was on.
01:07:55.000 I don't know how long that was now.
01:07:56.000 Yeah, that was a smart tactic if you're running for president.
01:07:58.000 You know, you shouldn't say, I'll accept second place.
01:08:00.000 But realistically, I think that would be... Because, I mean, whoever becomes VP is probably going to be the next president.
01:08:07.000 I'd rather see Vivek go back to Ohio and run for office there and do something interesting.
01:08:11.000 I mean, he's got so much energy.
01:08:12.000 I feel like in some ways being VP would be too penned in for him.
01:08:16.000 Although in the age of social media, and he's a loud mouth in a good way, like he would make a lot of noise in that office.
01:08:24.000 And I think Trump's a lie.
01:08:25.000 He's his life is liable.
01:08:26.000 Like if he tries to be president again, it's a very dangerous place for his life.
01:08:30.000 And he's got a lot of civil civil cases going on.
01:08:32.000 I mean, there are a lot of things calling his attention.
01:08:34.000 So I would say that that VP role is probably more important now than it's been in my lifetime in 44 years.
01:08:40.000 That's probably the most likely that a VP would become president.
01:08:43.000 Which is why Charlie Kirk suggested the right move would be to make Tucker Carlson the VP.
01:08:48.000 And Tucker was humble about it, but what do you think about that?
01:08:51.000 Tucker wanted Ian to be vice president.
01:08:52.000 Yeah, he agreed.
01:08:53.000 I thought Charlie was talking about me.
01:08:55.000 Well, Charlie said, who it should be is the man sitting next to me.
01:08:58.000 And I was like, oh, well, thank you, Charlie.
01:09:00.000 And Tucker was like, I'd vote for that.
01:09:02.000 A little does poor Tucker know.
01:09:04.000 Do you think he'd be a good VP, T?
01:09:05.000 Do I think he'd be?
01:09:06.000 I mean, there's a difference between journalism and governing, but maybe he could do it.
01:09:12.000 I mean, he's certainly got the popularity and the people and the goodwill of the people, and that's what you need.
01:09:18.000 Who do you think could be VP?
01:09:20.000 I don't have an opinion on the matter.
01:09:21.000 I actually think that Tim is very brave for placing bets because I think all bets are off.
01:09:25.000 I think it's impossible to predict.
01:09:28.000 What is going to happen?
01:09:29.000 I mean, if Alien, the Flying Saucer, came through this window, that would not surprise me right now.
01:09:33.000 I think all these are crazy.
01:09:35.000 To clarify, it's safe to tweet this because Will even said he was trolling in a different tweet, so I don't know if there's any actual real bet.
01:09:46.000 I see.
01:09:46.000 I see.
01:09:46.000 That's fair enough.
01:09:47.000 But my point is like, I would make the bet.
01:09:50.000 I don't know.
01:09:51.000 Depending on whatever.
01:09:52.000 But I did actually ask Will, like, did you really want to?
01:09:54.000 I think it's realistic.
01:09:55.000 And what are the laws on, like, making a bet like that?
01:09:58.000 I don't even know.
01:09:58.000 Well, what if it's Monopoly money?
01:09:59.000 He can come on and give you a bet.
01:10:00.000 Yeah, no, but are there taxes for, like, you know, a bet with your friends?
01:10:03.000 I don't know.
01:10:04.000 Maybe over a certain limit.
01:10:05.000 But he was, he said that when he was saying, when he said Trump was gonna pick Nikki Haley, he was, like, obviously trolling.
01:10:10.000 He said that.
01:10:10.000 Oh, oh, okay.
01:10:11.000 Like, he's poking fun at Trump for the idea that he might pick Haley.
01:10:14.000 That Bubba Wall tweet is off-page so badly!
01:10:18.000 Can't be DeSantis, it won't be DeSantis.
01:10:20.000 I think Tucker would be probably a good pick.
01:10:21.000 And I think he would accept if Trump asked him.
01:10:23.000 I think Charlie's right on that analysis.
01:10:25.000 You know, I think Tucker could help Trump win, but you make a good point about journalism versus, and commentary, versus actual governance.
01:10:32.000 Being a good political leader, it's not about knowing the issues.
01:10:37.000 That's a component of it.
01:10:38.000 It's about knowing how to navigate appropriately the system.
01:10:41.000 I really like the big move with Strive, his company that's divesting away from ESG.
01:10:45.000 This is what turned me on to him in the very beginning when I first met him.
01:10:48.000 I didn't know who he was.
01:10:49.000 Tim interviewed him.
01:10:50.000 I think it was Charlie Kirk Studio.
01:10:51.000 And I was just like, this guy knows how to solve the problem.
01:10:54.000 The problem is BlackRock is trying to buy up the world, and he knows how to divest our resources away from BlackRock by not complaining, he's creating a new system that we can go into.
01:11:03.000 The problem is for some reason, and I don't necessarily agree with this, I'm just telling you what is the reality.
01:11:08.000 For some reason, the people don't trust Vivek, or they're asking, who is this person?
01:11:15.000 Many people in the Midwest have said, he's like Obama, this very, very, very intelligent, well-spoken guy, but they just don't seem to trust him or know him well enough.
01:11:26.000 Like they, for example, trust Tucker.
01:11:27.000 That's the read I'm seeing.
01:11:29.000 By the way, I like most of what Vivek says.
01:11:32.000 I interviewed Vivek and him and I had great chemistry.
01:11:34.000 I mean, he's ridiculously smart.
01:11:36.000 I like what he says.
01:11:38.000 He even understood what I do to a degree that most people don't.
01:11:42.000 But for some reason, the people don't seem to... Do you see that?
01:11:45.000 They don't seem to like, who is this guy?
01:11:46.000 But I think that's because he's sort of popped out of nowhere.
01:11:49.000 Well, don't throw the race card around.
01:11:51.000 We're too close to the end of the year.
01:11:53.000 No, I'm being serious.
01:11:53.000 He sort of popped out of nowhere.
01:11:54.000 I mean, a lot of people didn't know what his company did.
01:11:57.000 He wrote his book.
01:11:58.000 You know, it's all very fast.
01:11:59.000 That's why I really do think if he were to, you know, be the governor of Ohio, he can build this, you know, national name a little bit more, but also, you know, really take Ohio to an... I mean, you're from Ohio, right?
01:12:12.000 Like, he could do so much for that state and also I'm so in the moment right now.
01:12:18.000 I don't know if there's going to be another presidential election, and that's not even a joke.
01:12:22.000 a small scale first, I think it would gain trust, I think people would believe in him
01:12:25.000 more and then he can do even more when he runs again.
01:12:28.000 I'm so in the moment right now, I don't know if there's going to be another presidential
01:12:32.000 election and that's not even a joke.
01:12:33.000 So like I really want the best right now and he, I agree with you that the trust in Vivek
01:12:39.000 is, it's Vivek just in case.
01:12:41.000 Vivek.
01:12:41.000 What did I say?
01:12:42.000 Vivek.
01:12:48.000 He came in like an outsider and like, okay, what's this politics stuff?
01:12:51.000 And you could see him talking and like...
01:12:53.000 Not really sure exactly.
01:12:54.000 How much should I say right away?
01:12:55.000 Let's go.
01:12:56.000 And then, as time went on, I think he became kind of a representative of what the people wanted from him.
01:13:01.000 And he started speaking massive truth to power.
01:13:04.000 And people were like, whoa, is this fake?
01:13:05.000 No, he's doing what people want him to do.
01:13:07.000 What was the Christie line where he's like, you sound like chat GBT when you talk?
01:13:11.000 Did you see that line?
01:13:12.000 I'm not a huge Chris Christie fan.
01:13:14.000 I thought it was kind of funny.
01:13:15.000 But it's just, it's Vivek GBT, yeah.
01:13:18.000 Vivek sounds nothing like Chet GBT.
01:13:19.000 No.
01:13:20.000 Right?
01:13:20.000 It's, it was a, it was, Chris Christie is just such a pathetic failure of a man.
01:13:25.000 Donald Trump!
01:13:26.000 More like Donald Duck!
01:13:28.000 And then he smirks like, bro, that didn't land.
01:13:30.000 And he's smiling like, I got him.
01:13:31.000 Well, they skipped, there was like a whole section of that debate where they just skipped him.
01:13:34.000 He was so relevant.
01:13:35.000 I know, it was amazing.
01:13:36.000 Donald Duck.
01:13:37.000 If Trump keeps ducking the issues, they're gonna call him Donald Duck.
01:13:41.000 Ah!
01:13:42.000 Threw him in my mouth a little bit.
01:13:43.000 Yeah, I'm sold because of his economic policy, Vivix.
01:13:47.000 It's getting us away from BlackRock.
01:13:48.000 I'm not even concerned about the left-right paradigm, the Republican, Democrats, any of that.
01:13:52.000 I'm concerned with global banks trying to take over and fascize this country.
01:13:57.000 It's been happening for a hundred years.
01:14:00.000 What's it called?
01:14:00.000 The banker plot or the business plot?
01:14:03.000 What's that general's name?
01:14:07.000 That they tried to get to overthrow the U.S.
01:14:09.000 Smedley Butler.
01:14:09.000 Smedley Butler.
01:14:10.000 These businessmen went to, according to Smedley himself, he blew the whistle on it, they came to him and tried to get him to stage a coup on FDR in like 1933 or something.
01:14:22.000 These businessmen, this fascist takeover.
01:14:25.000 And Smedley was like, no, I love America, I love the First Amendment, and I'm not going to do that.
01:14:30.000 And so those people, that ethos still exists in this country.
01:14:33.000 And they've been just doing it slowly, incrementally, they got us off the gold standard, you know, they got the Jekyll Island, they got the Federal Reserve set up, I don't... Jekyll Island!
01:14:42.000 Yeah, we gotta get away from these bankers, this bankers' union thing, and create a more reputable country for the people.
01:14:50.000 Something with, like, local trade... They don't want there to be country.
01:14:54.000 They want there to be world.
01:14:56.000 Yeah, I'm open to that, but it's got to happen judiciously.
01:15:00.000 I'm just going to start referring to they as the enclave, you know, because what they'll try to do is when Vivek says they won't let you do it, they're like, aha, he's an anti-Semite.
01:15:09.000 No, I'm not talking about Jewish people when we say they were talking about the intelligence agencies, the wealthy corporate elites.
01:15:17.000 I'm going to try to call it the enclave.
01:15:18.000 I feel like if there was a cultural, if there is a cultural war, which there seems to be a cultural conflict, that if we win, if the American ethos wins, that people all over Earth will overthrow their tyrannical governments and create First Amendment rights, and gun rights, and they'll take control of their societies.
01:15:36.000 I've got bad news for you.
01:15:37.000 Okay, we know we can sit here and talk about the importance of journalism and fear about what's to come in 2024, but the Prophet of Doom, a psychic, has predicted cyber attacks, natural disasters, and a Russia-China alliance.
01:15:52.000 Well, and the Prophet of Doom says so.
01:15:54.000 I mean, look at this guy.
01:15:55.000 He knows.
01:15:57.000 So, uh, that's it.
01:15:58.000 That's it, boys.
01:15:58.000 Pack it in.
01:15:59.000 Uh, you may as well just, uh, flee to El Salvador while you still can.
01:16:03.000 Because, uh, we're here.
01:16:04.000 Who is this prophet of doom?
01:16:05.000 He claims to see into the future.
01:16:07.000 And he says that, uh, you know, there's gonna be- he's got some serious predictions.
01:16:11.000 Big floods will engulf London and Europe.
01:16:13.000 A new pandemic in Australia.
01:16:15.000 And President Vladimir Putin will trip off this mortal coil.
01:16:18.000 Coffee with Craig.
01:16:19.000 That's the name of the show.
01:16:19.000 You know, what's really funny is, like, we're kind of- we're kind of making fun of this dude and everything, but what if all this stuff actually came true?
01:16:25.000 Well, the global cyber attack, that doesn't actually feel like very specific of a prediction for me.
01:16:30.000 It's like being like, there will be an election next year.
01:16:33.000 Like, we know all sorts of countries will have elections next year.
01:16:36.000 I wish they would have some more specific details.
01:16:38.000 The flood in London is kind of a bold choice.
01:16:41.000 I think, right, that is a bold choice.
01:16:42.000 I think the best way to go about this would be to claim that a man from the future gave you access to information about what was going to happen, and that's what is going to happen, unless, because telling you changes history, it doesn't happen, but then it's not my fault, it's your fault, actually.
01:16:59.000 It is interesting, that is a nice caveat to always be like, well, because I tried to save you, you know, now everything's going to be different, I can't rely on you.
01:17:06.000 Yeah, that was, do you guys remember John Titor?
01:17:10.000 It was a meme thing in like the 2000s.
01:17:13.000 A guy online posting on forums claiming to be from the future and showing pictures of like light bending in a time machine.
01:17:19.000 And I think he was saying that by 2008 the US would be fractured into four different countries and stuff.
01:17:23.000 But of course he was like, however, that may not happen because I've altered the timeline.
01:17:26.000 There were some really interesting and very intelligent things that he said that made people
01:17:27.000 Oh.
01:17:31.000 Is he the one who said wow he like he traveled through time to like three specific points in time
01:17:37.000 He came back multiple times to warn people about things look at this. He's got a he's got a look at this
01:17:43.000 John teeter and time travel zero pseudonyms used on internet forums between 2000 2001
01:17:48.000 But an individual claiming to be an American military time travel from
01:17:51.000 So you're saying that in 13 years we got time travel?
01:17:55.000 Their posts discussed various aspects of time travel and described future calamitous events, including a global nuclear war.
01:18:01.000 The uniform inaccuracy of their predictions and inconsistencies in their explanations has led many to view the story with skepticism.
01:18:06.000 Wait, that was it?
01:18:07.000 I kind of think if a guy goes online and says I'm from the future, that instantly disqualifies it from being true.
01:18:13.000 But, okay, like, maybe there's a .0000001% chance some time traveler is telling the truth.
01:18:20.000 It was a hoax created by Larry Haber, a Florida entertainment lawyer, and his brother John Rick Haber, a computer scientist.
01:18:25.000 The claims have never been verified, however.
01:18:27.000 Interesting.
01:18:29.000 I know it was a hoax.
01:18:29.000 I've read a lot about doomsayers throughout the history of humanity and it's actually more common than I think people realize.
01:18:37.000 It's so easy to say that the worst thing is going to happen and to make the claims about all the risks and how they're all going to fail and that's going to cause the end and the failure.
01:18:46.000 But I think it's way more likely that things are going to march on.
01:18:49.000 It's just a matter of staying still, surviving, having a community and things like that.
01:18:54.000 I'm with you on that.
01:18:54.000 I think I'm more of an optimist.
01:18:57.000 I think what a time to be alive, what a time to make a difference right now.
01:19:00.000 And the truth is so powerful.
01:19:02.000 I know it's very corny and cliche, and people are probably going to laugh at this, but you have a dark room, there's a little flame, it lights up the room.
01:19:10.000 The truth has that power, it just does, and I think it'll ultimately win as long as people are courageous enough.
01:19:15.000 to say it. And historically, and like the Soviet Union, these other
01:19:20.000 countries, they couldn't say it. They had to live by lies.
01:19:23.000 They had to pretend, even though they knew the truth, they didn't want
01:19:26.000 to say it. And as long as we have the courage to say it, in numbers, I think
01:19:30.000 we'll be okay. And also the ability to preserve it, which I think storing data in
01:19:34.000 orbit, like we really need to get away from these centralized servers, or at
01:19:37.000 least expand into decentralized storage.
01:19:40.000 The truth can be, unfortunately on the internet, tweaked in real time.
01:19:43.000 The truth, I call it.
01:19:44.000 No, that's true.
01:19:45.000 I mean, we talk about this all the time.
01:19:46.000 People like Netflix will take scenes out of shows if they decide they're unpopular or incorrect.
01:19:51.000 It's weird that we edit the content that we have.
01:19:53.000 It's like you're unable to preserve an original document, which is crazy.
01:19:57.000 It's terrifying.
01:19:57.000 Do you have any white pill predictions for 2024?
01:20:00.000 Anything particular you think positive will happen?
01:20:03.000 White pill?
01:20:03.000 I like that question.
01:20:04.000 That's a good premise.
01:20:09.000 The last couple weeks of 2023 or any precursor, I think you're going to see, if there's corruption or fraud occurring, like if there's a conspiracy somewhere, I think that conspiracy will be made public for us to see.
01:20:26.000 Now we could argue whether that's going to make a difference.
01:20:28.000 That's a different conversation.
01:20:30.000 So if there's voter fraud, and I don't know if there's going to be enough of it,
01:20:35.000 but if there is, I think we'll see it.
01:20:37.000 In 2024?
01:20:38.000 Yeah, in other words, we'll be able to see the fraud happening on the inside.
01:20:43.000 The whistleblowers will come public, they'll reveal it on video, incontrovertible.
01:20:47.000 And now whether that's going to be shocking enough to people who, like for example, hate orange men,
01:20:55.000 you know, bad.
01:20:55.000 Very, very bad.
01:20:56.000 Then I don't know, but I think we'll be able to see it in a way that we've never seen it before.
01:21:00.000 And we're seeing it right, it's like, we're going to see it in a way
01:21:03.000 we've never seen it before.
01:21:04.000 I've never seen anything like it.
01:21:06.000 Are you familiar with the apocalypse from the Bible?
01:21:09.000 Like it's a biblical prophecy.
01:21:10.000 Vaguely.
01:21:11.000 They call it the end times.
01:21:13.000 Who knows what that actually means if the calendar is just resetting or something.
01:21:15.000 But it basically means apocalypse means the great revealment.
01:21:18.000 Things are being revealed.
01:21:19.000 And so what do you think about things like neural net where people are plugging into machines and we can share our thoughts?
01:21:24.000 I don't know anything about that.
01:21:25.000 Well, it's just Elon's way of making brain-computer interface a little better than using fingers.
01:21:30.000 You can use your thoughts to communicate on the machine now.
01:21:33.000 I feel like neural net would be the worst thing for whistleblowers, right?
01:21:36.000 Like if the government or whoever was plugged into your brain, you start thinking, maybe I want to say something about what's going on wherever I am.
01:21:41.000 Well, the reports today, Ashley St.
01:21:43.000 Clair reported that the American Airlines, one of the airlines, was forcing people to download something onto their phone.
01:21:49.000 The pilots, yeah.
01:21:51.000 Whether they're talking to James O'Keefe or not.
01:21:53.000 And I just tweeted out, just go to Walmart and buy another phone and just download Signal.
01:21:57.000 But there are efforts like this.
01:21:59.000 But even that, you know, in these other countries, historically, no dissent was permitted at all.
01:22:07.000 And now you're seeing the opposite effect.
01:22:13.000 You know, Orwell feared the truth would be concealed from us.
01:22:17.000 Huxley feared the truth would be drowned out in a sea of irrelevance.
01:22:21.000 So the question, Tim's point I think was on point, which is that our audience have become so segmented.
01:22:26.000 How do you convince the people that don't agree with you?
01:22:29.000 Don't just play to your audience, play to the people who don't agree.
01:22:32.000 And to the white pill question, I think, I believe, still believe, that if you expose the truth in such a way, it'll convince the people that don't agree with me.
01:22:45.000 Like, for example, the story on Pfizer or BlackRock or even voter fraud.
01:22:50.000 The problem with the voter fraud I've heard from the right is that I don't think anyone's ever actually proved it.
01:22:55.000 I think it's all circumstantial evidence.
01:22:57.000 I mean, can you name a case where we've really actually proved incontrovertible evidence of massive voting fraud?
01:23:04.000 I haven't seen that.
01:23:04.000 I haven't seen that.
01:23:05.000 Massive?
01:23:06.000 That's, I guess, the fine mask.
01:23:07.000 Enough to swing an election?
01:23:08.000 I personally haven't.
01:23:09.000 I mean, there's different ways that they coerce, you know, propaganda, the media, but You know what I'm saying?
01:23:14.000 I think that there's going to be people on the inside in 2024 recording this stuff, and there's nothing they can do to stop it.
01:23:22.000 Hypothetically, would you support a technology that just blows everyone's minds open so that we can read every human's brain?
01:23:31.000 I hadn't even thought about the implications of that.
01:23:34.000 Would you?
01:23:34.000 Would you support that?
01:23:35.000 Yes.
01:23:35.000 Why?
01:23:35.000 Because we're going to destroy ourselves if we don't.
01:23:37.000 That's my thought.
01:23:38.000 You don't think people have the right to the privacy of their own thoughts?
01:23:40.000 Well, no.
01:23:40.000 Not anymore.
01:23:41.000 Why?
01:23:41.000 I feel like that's so authoritarian.
01:23:42.000 Look what we've done to ourselves.
01:23:43.000 Look what people did with that.
01:23:44.000 The secrecy and destruction and slavitude that they've done to humans.
01:23:47.000 It's horrific.
01:23:48.000 I don't like a world where I'm obligated to let anyone read my mind.
01:23:52.000 That sounds terrifying.
01:23:52.000 I just think that they thought that it's your mind is like kind of out of cont—like our thoughts are not our own.
01:23:57.000 It's our mind.
01:23:58.000 It is our mind.
01:23:59.000 It's the global mind.
01:24:00.000 I mean, obviously, we have autonomy as bodies.
01:24:02.000 My little pony, it's our little pony.
01:24:04.000 Well, not really.
01:24:05.000 If it's not my mind, it's not my body, right?
01:24:06.000 I mean, where do you draw this line?
01:24:09.000 Also, to my point before, that would completely blow up a whistleblower system, right?
01:24:13.000 If your thoughts were public to everyone, we would never have anyone come forward because, theoretically, they would immediately be imprisoned if they even thought about saying, hey, I should report this to someone.
01:24:21.000 But the corruption would never happen because if someone tried to ruin the system with the whole species, the entire species would be like policing itself at all times.
01:24:30.000 Kind of.
01:24:30.000 Whoever's on the top of that structure would be policing it.
01:24:32.000 I don't think there is a top if it's all connected.
01:24:34.000 So I don't think it's a good thing, but I think Ian presents a possible future that we've actually talked about on The Culture War.
01:24:40.000 The way I describe it is with AI, with Neuralink and all this stuff, what eventually happens is humans will be treated like single cells in a multicellular organism.
01:24:50.000 So, take a look at single cells, right?
01:24:52.000 They're all running around doing crazy whosits and whatnots.
01:24:54.000 They're eating stuff and making more themselves.
01:24:56.000 They're independent in and of themselves.
01:24:58.000 Multicellular organisms, all the cells have clearly defined roles.
01:25:02.000 And within the multicellular organism, like each and every one of us here, sometimes there are rogue actors that want to be free.
01:25:07.000 They want to be free and they want to do whatever they want to do.
01:25:09.000 And what do we call that?
01:25:10.000 Cancer?
01:25:11.000 Yes.
01:25:12.000 Disease?
01:25:12.000 And what do we do to pathogens?
01:25:14.000 Usually we consume them with white blood cells.
01:25:16.000 We destroy them.
01:25:17.000 And so in a future where we're all neural linked and we're all being given our roles
01:25:21.000 and to each according to their need and from each according to their capabilities,
01:25:25.000 what ends up happening then is this nightmare dystopia where you rip the neural link out of your neck
01:25:30.000 and you're like, I just wanna be me.
01:25:32.000 And then you're hunted down by law enforcement who are all AI linked mindless drones.
01:25:38.000 And then they destroy you, liquify your body and convert you into resource.
01:25:42.000 I don't think you'd ever wanna disengage from the species.
01:25:45.000 Cancer exists.
01:25:46.000 That's true.
01:25:47.000 And maybe what I'm saying is I'm looking at stripping humanity of joy and pain and love and hate and all these things that make it so wonderful but awful to be a human.
01:25:55.000 But at the same time, man, those kids pulling cobalt out of the mines in Africa where people are just like, no, no, no, no, no, let's not look at that.
01:26:02.000 Like, come on, man.
01:26:03.000 It's like, how many thousands of kids are getting poisoned right now?
01:26:07.000 Clawin' at that stuff for us to get our cell phones.
01:26:09.000 And yes.
01:26:10.000 And now do you weep for the skin cells that die and are flaked off your body?
01:26:16.000 In an AI neural net world, when your brain is plugged into the machine, you'll know all about it and you will not care.
01:26:22.000 The people who are mining the cobalt won't care either.
01:26:25.000 They'll just be the dead cells flaking off into the wind.
01:26:27.000 But I feel like we would be working out of our way to make sure humans don't have to suffer through that stuff if we were all one unit.
01:26:33.000 If your brain is linked to a neural net where everyone is like one hive, they wouldn't be suffering.
01:26:40.000 There would no longer be a you.
01:26:42.000 There would be mindless drones.
01:26:43.000 I don't know if they'd be mindless.
01:26:46.000 They'd be mindless.
01:26:48.000 I don't think we have to worry about this prior to November 24, correct?
01:26:51.000 I think you're right.
01:26:52.000 I think let's take it one year at a time, because there's a lot going on.
01:26:56.000 You want to answer these big philosophical questions with us?
01:26:59.000 It's a fascinating Pandora's box, but to get back to this coming, this is the last show of the year, right Tim?
01:27:04.000 This is the last show of the year.
01:27:05.000 So a truly free press empowers people to make decisions for themselves, and that's what this movement is all about.
01:27:12.000 You know, the press is putting things in simplifications and stereotypes and obfuscation and all types of carefully woven tapestry of words that obfuscate.
01:27:24.000 And then you just have Elon Musk's ex and whistleblowers.
01:27:27.000 And this is all about empowering people to make decisions because they have access to information they previously did not.
01:27:34.000 And it's the lack of transparency in the world that is the advantage to the evil. So the
01:27:40.000 theory, the white pill, is by making the world more transparent than it's ever been. Not
01:27:46.000 mind shit, I don't even know about that, that's a metaphysical thing that I have to really, I have
01:27:50.000 to sleep on that.
01:27:51.000 But let's just take it to the next level.
01:27:54.000 Just having access to inside of airlines, inside of the DHS, inside the IRS, inside the FBI, if those walls could talk.
01:28:02.000 Imagine if the American people could see that and hear that for themselves.
01:28:07.000 Imagine that!
01:28:08.000 I actually think that whatever the outcome would be, would be the correct one.
01:28:14.000 But right now people have no idea what's happening and we're debating facts.
01:28:20.000 The greatest tragedy of modern society is we debate facts.
01:28:24.000 Why are we debating facts?
01:28:26.000 We shouldn't be.
01:28:27.000 But we've made so many things subjective, right?
01:28:29.000 They shouldn't be.
01:28:30.000 They shouldn't be, but there is a whole whole bent of like, I mean, I'll bring it up every show, but the gender stuff, right?
01:28:36.000 Saying, well, gender is different than sex, and this is why you can feel this way, but actually this is not.
01:28:40.000 That's one thing.
01:28:40.000 I think that there's economic incentive to focus on these kind of issues that divide people.
01:28:47.000 So wouldn't that be true for anything that is a fact that people try to manipulate?
01:28:51.000 They probably have an incentive to do so?
01:28:52.000 Corruptive coercive power of the federal government the weaponization of the federal government innocent Americans I think these are winning issues and the majority of people.
01:29:01.000 I also think chopping off private parts off little boy That's a winning issue 90% people think that's wrong I think if people could see and hear the stench the rot for themselves.
01:29:11.000 That's why I'm a white pill guy Because I know it's going to happen It's already happening.
01:29:16.000 And you have people who come from inside and come out and tell you, hey, I want to talk about this because I think it's wrong.
01:29:20.000 That must be a very uplifting experience.
01:29:23.000 It's a heavy experience.
01:29:25.000 It's heavy.
01:29:26.000 And actually, Tim, one of the things I've learned is that, you know, we were talking about this off air, is that it's hard for Yeah, I gotta be careful who I surround myself with.
01:29:37.000 Oh yeah.
01:29:37.000 You know, after what I've been through, and I've got all these people contacting me, I gotta make sure people on my team, close to me, I can trust them.
01:29:44.000 Are people possessed?
01:29:45.000 By parasites, yeah.
01:29:48.000 I believe so.
01:29:50.000 Look, the stuff I've learned about your story, the stuff I've experienced, It feels like one day a demon enters their brain and takes them over.
01:30:00.000 Dude, I think there are literal parasites in your gut.
01:30:01.000 I'm about to do some combo.
01:30:02.000 It's this toad venom and apparently you puke up parasites and they just come out.
01:30:06.000 Luke Rukowski has a We Are Change video from seven years ago.
01:30:08.000 I think there's much simpler ways.
01:30:10.000 The combo stuff is about like experiencing death or something.
01:30:13.000 Yeah, but also a purge.
01:30:14.000 It's a purge of this shit that's controlling you.
01:30:15.000 Is this what you're doing for Christmas, Ian?
01:30:16.000 No!
01:30:16.000 I don't know.
01:30:18.000 Ho ho ho, baby, yeah.
01:30:19.000 Take me there.
01:30:20.000 I'm not into the weird hippy-dippy injecting yourself with thought.
01:30:23.000 What I've learned is my fight, and many fights like this, it's almost like a fight against human nature.
01:30:28.000 It's almost like a fight against self-interest.
01:30:31.000 For goodness, or for truth, or for...
01:30:33.000 you know, not betraying your conscience.
01:30:36.000 And there's a lot of people out there where the world is governed by people
01:30:39.000 pursuing their own self-interest.
01:30:40.000 So if you're gonna run against that tide, you better make sure that people who are around you
01:30:45.000 share those values or your partner shares your values.
01:30:48.000 If you're gonna be on a mission against self-interest.
01:30:52.000 And I think that's what it's going to take.
01:30:54.000 You mentioned the Founding Fathers.
01:30:55.000 Was their lives a fortune, sacred honor?
01:30:58.000 Blood, treasure, and sacred honor.
01:30:59.000 Blood, treasure.
01:31:00.000 And they did that for each other.
01:31:02.000 They were risking their children.
01:31:04.000 Their children.
01:31:05.000 These are guys who were wealthy, had families, and they could have said, look, if we remain loyalists, the king will take care of us and we let everyone else burn.
01:31:14.000 Instead, they said, I will stand with the people of my community, even though they had land.
01:31:19.000 Landed gentry.
01:31:20.000 And they told the king to screw off.
01:31:21.000 And they felt their children were at risk either way, right?
01:31:25.000 What future will I leave for my children?
01:31:26.000 Yeah.
01:31:26.000 Ben Franklin lost his kid.
01:31:28.000 His son, William, refused to ever speak to him again because his son was a loyalist.
01:31:33.000 He wouldn't leave.
01:31:34.000 But this is such a modern experience.
01:31:35.000 I gotta do what's right.
01:31:36.000 It's my own son.
01:31:37.000 I think we all know people whose families don't speak to each other because of politics, right?
01:31:41.000 I know people who are like, if you voted for Trump, I'll never speak to you again, right?
01:31:46.000 This is something we still experience today, but if you believe that your country is at risk, if you believe the future of the people you love could be damaged by an outcome, don't you feel morally obligated to act?
01:31:57.000 William Franklin.
01:31:59.000 Was imprisoned by patriots from 76 to 78, and he was the chief leader of the Loyalists in New York City organizing military units to fight back on the side of the British.
01:32:08.000 He went to exile in Britain and lived in London until his death.
01:32:11.000 And never saw him again.
01:32:12.000 Crazy.
01:32:13.000 That's a wild sacrifice.
01:32:15.000 Sometimes doing the right thing and the hard thing are the same thing.
01:32:19.000 I'm looking at a tip right now, I can't tell you what it is or who it is or where it is, but it's big, and I get these every ten minutes.
01:32:24.000 Quote, I don't know if this is major news, James, but I thought I would just do the right thing.
01:32:32.000 It reminds me of a quote by the big tobacco whistleblower, Jeffrey Wigand, 1990s, asked by Mike Wallace, why are you doing this?
01:32:38.000 He gave up everything.
01:32:40.000 He goes, because it's right.
01:32:42.000 He said, because it's right.
01:32:44.000 So there are very, well, we could all agree that that's a very tiny fraction of humans Who would do that and say that.
01:32:52.000 Therefore, Tim, my fight is a fight against human nature in many regards.
01:32:56.000 And you said demonically possessed.
01:32:58.000 When you're fighting against, and we all have demons, right?
01:33:02.000 Every single one of us, unless you're a liar.
01:33:04.000 We all have things that we're ashamed of, perhaps, that we've done.
01:33:07.000 But if you're fighting for good, what's gonna happen when you're fighting for good?
01:33:10.000 You're gonna be faced with, Tim, you're gonna be faced with Bad people doing bad things and saying bad things and demons you could say?
01:33:20.000 When you say right and wrong I feel like that's should always be up for debate because like transparency for the sake of transparency I'm not into anymore.
01:33:27.000 I've considered it throughout life but like national defense weapons programs like the Manhattan Project we could not if people have blown the whistle on that and given the specs to oh we talked about this at turning point if they'd revealed open source the data for the nuclear bomb and Hitler got it and built it first we'd all be speaking Hang on, you, the guy who just pitched that all of our thoughts should be public, are nodded to transparency for transparency's sake?
01:33:49.000 If you could flip a switch, maybe, but, uh, maybe, but, uh...
01:33:55.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:33:55.000 There's some things where you need... I'm not following.
01:33:58.000 That's a good point, thank you.
01:33:59.000 But the journalist is... There's a book written about this called The Custodians of Conscience.
01:34:05.000 The Custodians of Conscience.
01:34:09.000 The information revealer forms the moral values by releasing the information, testing and affirming what is and what is not moral.
01:34:19.000 You realize that by going, oh, I called my company OMG.
01:34:22.000 Oh my God!
01:34:23.000 Like when the Pfizer guy is saying, we make fake things to lie to customers to make money, or BlackRock saying we control the world, we bribe politicians.
01:34:31.000 Okay, that's wrong.
01:34:33.000 And that's the kind of role of transparency, is it not?
01:34:35.000 To test and affirm what is and what is not moral by revealing information that shocks the conscience.
01:34:42.000 You're the custodian of the public's conscience.
01:34:46.000 Quantum encryption hacking is a big technology.
01:34:48.000 Like 2028, we're going to start seeing people be able to go in and like, Open up the last 20 years of your bank records like everyone on earth their bank like and and so is that Conscionable to do it is it cuz I don't know it just to some and not to others Do people need to know that it's happening is the question right?
01:35:07.000 Do people know that that's occurring or should they know that that's occurring?
01:35:10.000 I think so, but sometimes Yes, in that instance yes.
01:35:17.000 Sometimes there are things that are happening that if people know they panic and that could do more harm than keeping them in the dark.
01:35:25.000 Then that's the balance that you have to strike as the publisher of the information.
01:35:29.000 Some things should not be, some things ought to be kept secret.
01:35:33.000 But I think you derive your sense of morality through the reporting process, and the public changes their sense of what is right and wrong based upon whether it tugs at their conscience.
01:35:46.000 The word is conscience, I would say.
01:35:48.000 You know what people don't remember is the Declaration of Dependence.
01:35:52.000 Water, tell me about it.
01:35:54.000 It's always Sonny and Philadelphia made the joke where they envisioned back in the olden days during the revolutionary period and Mac and Dennis are scared that the rebellion in Philadelphia will result in them losing their bar or whatever.
01:36:06.000 So they're like, we need to tell the British that we support them!
01:36:08.000 And so they bring the Declaration of Dependence, but it's actually just a crude drawing of someone raping the queen or something like that.
01:36:14.000 But there actually was a Loyalist Declaration, and I'm trying to be careful because I don't know too much about it, but I have this from the New York Historical Society Museum Library.
01:36:21.000 It was the Loyalist Petition to the Crown.
01:36:23.000 That some people refer to as the Declaration of Dependence, where the Loyalists said they had risked their lives and fortunes opposing the most unnatural, unprovoked rebellion that ever disgraced the annals of time.
01:36:35.000 The Loyalists sought some level of distinction from the inhabitants in general.
01:36:38.000 They were asking the Crown to alleviate them of the martial law as they were Loyalists.
01:36:44.000 The funny thing is, the Crown ignored them.
01:36:48.000 There you go.
01:36:49.000 It is what it is.
01:36:50.000 So they appealed to the authority, and what, does that show that that authority was evil because it ignored their pleas?
01:36:56.000 Well, it's funny because the Patriots were like, the king is an oppressive force.
01:37:03.000 And then the Loyalists were like, king, we're on your side, help us.
01:37:06.000 And he was an oppressive force on them too.
01:37:08.000 So, yeah, get what you get.
01:37:10.000 But, you know, I bring this up because we don't sit here and talk about the men who risked their fortunes to serve the crown.
01:37:17.000 No one cares about those guys.
01:37:18.000 The British people care about them.
01:37:20.000 Yeah, no, they don't.
01:37:22.000 Like, when I was talking to Carl Benjamin, I was like, you guys, like, what's the thought in Britain on the American Revolution?
01:37:28.000 He's like, mate, our history is like, what is it, like 1,200 years.
01:37:31.000 Like, this was like a small 20-year period in 1,000-year history.
01:37:34.000 You're a blip on our radar.
01:37:36.000 It's like it happened, but we had a lot of colonies.
01:37:38.000 We learned about all the colonies we had, not just you.
01:37:41.000 He didn't say it exactly like that, but he was basically saying it.
01:37:43.000 I like the Indian Revolution that Gandhi led, because that was non-violent, essentially.
01:37:48.000 I don't know too much about it, actually.
01:37:50.000 I'd love to learn more about it.
01:37:51.000 Well, I gotta say the colonization of India is, I think, perhaps one of the greatest things that has ever happened, because it resulted in chicken tikka masala and butter chicken, of course, which were invented in London, but nonetheless inspired by India.
01:38:04.000 Cumin?
01:38:05.000 I guess.
01:38:06.000 Turmeric.
01:38:07.000 Delicious.
01:38:08.000 Coriander?
01:38:09.000 Apparently yoga was like a military training exercise back in the day.
01:38:13.000 I didn't know this.
01:38:13.000 Well it's like a religious spiritual thing.
01:38:15.000 But it came from actual, that's why they call it like warrior one, like there's actual, they wouldn't let women do it and it was just for warrior training, like for military training.
01:38:21.000 Stretching, all these things to get ready for battle.
01:38:23.000 You know what I love in the UK?
01:38:24.000 Yorkie bars.
01:38:25.000 Not for girls.
01:38:26.000 What's that?
01:38:28.000 Yorkie is a chocolate bar and it says not for girls.
01:38:30.000 And there's a picture of a girl and it's circled a line through it.
01:38:32.000 No.
01:38:33.000 Girls can't have it.
01:38:34.000 I don't think they could do that in the United States.
01:38:36.000 I think it'd be illegal.
01:38:37.000 Anyway, we're going to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, My friends, this is it!
01:38:44.000 The final show of 2023, because after this, it's Christmas.
01:38:48.000 I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.
01:38:49.000 This is a Christmas travel weekend.
01:38:52.000 It's going to be a nightmare for everybody.
01:38:54.000 And then we're off for the rest of the week.
01:38:57.000 You know, basically the way it works, especially with Christmas falling on... It's on Monday, right?
01:39:02.000 It is literally impossible to do shows.
01:39:06.000 Nothing we can do about it.
01:39:07.000 So like, I think the first year we were like, no, no, no, we'll do, we'll like, obviously Christmas off, but we'll try and get people.
01:39:12.000 Nobody, nobody will come.
01:39:14.000 Nobody.
01:39:14.000 I mean, come on.
01:39:15.000 What sane person is like, yes, I'd like to travel after Christmas from my family's house straight to your studio to do a show and then have New Year's in a different city.
01:39:21.000 It just doesn't happen.
01:39:22.000 I would love to go through the airport at that time of year.
01:39:24.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:39:25.000 Nobody wants to do it.
01:39:26.000 Spend some time with your friends.
01:39:27.000 And if you have friends that don't have a place to go, invite them over.
01:39:29.000 Yeah, New Year's.
01:39:30.000 This will be fun.
01:39:31.000 Let's read some Super Chats!
01:39:33.000 Alright, Shane H. Wilder says, Merry Christmas, everybody.
01:39:35.000 Hope it's a joyful one.

01:39:41.000 Congratulations, sir.
01:39:42.000 Nice job, Jackson.

01:39:45.000 For everybody who bought the song, Um, uh, uh, together again.
01:39:51.000 The first week is, is over.
01:39:53.000 This is launch week.
01:39:54.000 We're now, I, I, I don't know if the billboard charts come out Tuesday or next week, the week after Tuesday, which would be January 2nd.
01:40:01.000 Not sure.
01:40:02.000 But we are going to email every single person that bought the song with a promo code for 35% off Cast Brew because some people were unsure how to do it and how to use it.
01:40:13.000 And then we're going to extend just For one, we really do want you to buy the coffee.
01:40:18.000 So it's like, it's a promo for us.
01:40:20.000 But just to make sure, there were a lot of people emailed in saying, I'm not quite sure how to get it.
01:40:24.000 Don't worry about it.
01:40:24.000 We're gonna send everybody an email.
01:40:26.000 You'll get your code, and you can buy all the coffee at a huge discount.
01:40:29.000 Thank you so much for supporting us and buying the song.
01:40:31.000 This was the biggest release we have done yet.
01:40:35.000 It was more sales, more views, more everything.
01:40:38.000 I owe a lot of that to the Daily Wire crew.
01:40:40.000 Jeremy Boring and Michael Knowles also helped push.
01:40:42.000 Considering they have the writing credit on it, it's like, The lyrics were all theirs.
01:40:46.000 It was inspired by their song, though we'd made a different version of it.
01:40:49.000 They are absolutely a part of helping promote it, so shout out to the Daily Wire crew.
01:40:52.000 All right, NeuroDivergence says, James, ex-dancer here giving you moonwalk props.
01:40:58.000 I can moonwalk, I can breakdance, I can sing Oklahoma, and I'm coming back to Tim's studio to produce some music.
01:41:05.000 Absolutely.
01:41:05.000 That's a great story.
01:41:06.000 I also, I do dance parties.
01:41:09.000 I went to the AmFest trying to sell journalism classes, and I sold out my class, but A thousand people asked me where's my next James O'Keefe party, so we may need to have those regularly every month.
01:41:22.000 We're gonna sell the tickets.
01:41:23.000 It'll be the greatest thing you've ever seen.
01:41:25.000 Have you seen O'Keefe dance?
01:41:27.000 Okay, okay.
01:41:28.000 It's like you wouldn't believe.
01:41:29.000 Okay.
01:41:31.000 You've got three weeks.
01:41:33.000 You need to set up a party in Iowa.

01:41:36.000 Yeah, that would be so fun.
01:41:37.000 A party in Iowa?

01:41:39.000 January 15th caucus.
01:41:41.000 Everyone's gonna be there.
01:41:42.000 We're actually... January 15th?
01:41:44.000 We're working out the details for IRL live.
01:41:48.000 It's all preliminary.
01:41:49.000 My chief of staff is gonna hate me.

01:42:19.000 Texas?
01:42:20.000 Is Texas Super Tuesday?
01:42:21.000 Checking.
01:42:22.000 Did you guys put on a Slayer after show at AmFest?
01:42:25.000 I got invited out, but we were already- Did you go?
01:42:27.000 No.
01:42:27.000 We got a jet back, so I missed it.
01:42:29.000 It sounded awesome.
01:42:30.000 You missed an unbelievable party.
01:42:32.000 Dang.
01:42:33.000 I don't know what happened.
01:42:34.000 I guess it's just O'Keefe parties are lit.
01:42:36.000 Let's go to the next one.
01:42:38.000 Patriot Punk Network says, I am the Patriot Punk from the Patriot Punk Network.
01:42:42.000 James is my hero.
01:42:43.000 We just released a new expose on a corrupt sheriff in Tennessee.
01:42:46.000 Please give a shout out to PCSOE.
01:42:48.000 I'm sorry, PCSO exposed to help us fight corruption.
01:42:54.000 Shout out!
01:42:55.000 There you go.
01:42:57.000 Texas isn't Super Tuesday, but it's Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, oh no, Texas is on here, Utah, Vermont, Virginia.
01:43:08.000 Maybe Texas, Texas?
01:43:10.000 Tennessee.
01:43:11.000 Tennessee, Nashville.
01:43:12.000 Right.
01:43:12.000 Nashville's where it's at.
01:43:13.000 In Nashville, Super Tuesday is a cute dance party.
01:43:16.000 Ben Shapiro shows up, just dominates the dance floor.
01:43:19.000 But it's what's really funny is everyone always makes fun of the dancing.
01:43:22.000 Oh, he lives in Florida, sorry.
01:43:23.000 Everyone's always like, oh, the theater, and then they secretly DM it.
01:43:26.000 Can I get a ticket to the party, though?
01:43:28.000 Every time.
01:43:31.000 They rag on it.
01:43:32.000 Your secret is safe with me, okay?
01:43:34.000 They check my sources.
01:43:36.000 They rag on it and then they go, James, James, moonwalk, moonwalk.
01:43:39.000 It's like that scene where they're throwing rocks at Michael J. Fox, he's doing the moonwalk.
01:43:43.000 They love when I do the moonwalk.
01:43:45.000 Yeah, Michael Jackson.
01:43:46.000 All right.
01:43:47.000 Jay Marie says, James O'Keefe has huge... What is this?
01:43:51.000 Wevos?
01:43:53.000 Huevos.
01:43:53.000 Sorry.
01:43:54.000 Huevos.
01:43:55.000 Oh, they spelled it W-E-V-O-S.
01:43:57.000 I know what they meant.
01:43:58.000 It's spelled with a J. Because I'm like, you guys need to grow a pair of balls.
01:44:03.000 But I'm a woman.
01:44:03.000 I don't have balls.
01:44:05.000 Huevos.
01:44:06.000 Huevos.
01:44:08.000 Testicular fortitude.
01:44:09.000 Fertilize your eggs.
01:44:10.000 Huevos is eggs.
01:44:11.000 So that works for the ladies.
01:44:12.000 Eggs.
01:44:13.000 Balls.
01:44:13.000 It's a metaphor.
01:44:14.000 But no, I'm saying that works for the ladies.
01:44:17.000 I think they may have been referencing something I've said in various... I was just poking fun for spelling it W-E-V-O-S.
01:44:24.000 Oh, they spelled it like that.
01:44:25.000 That's weird.
01:44:27.000 I believe it's J-U-E-V-O-S.
01:44:28.000 That's H. Huevos.
01:44:30.000 It's H?
01:44:31.000 Huevos.
01:44:31.000 Huevos.
01:44:32.000 See, I don't even know how to spell it.
01:44:36.000 What do we got?
01:44:37.000 Here we are.
01:44:38.000 Um, MrWiseGuyPlays says, Will you read this?
01:44:41.000 The answer is yes.
01:44:42.000 I play games and share my opinions.
01:44:43.000 It's only a hobby for now.
01:44:44.000 It's called MrWiseGuy.
01:44:46.000 Three channels.
01:44:47.000 It's W-H-Y-Z.
01:44:49.000 Interesting.
01:44:50.000 Good luck.
01:44:50.000 Good sir.
01:44:52.000 Beep-beep says, James, are you still looking for an EA, or has that role been filled?
01:44:56.000 No, it has not been filled, and part of the challenge, I do extreme vetting, okay?
01:45:02.000 I had 200 resumes.
01:45:04.000 Still open, you can apply at O'Keefe.
01:45:06.000 My email is james.o'keefe.mediagroup.com.
01:45:10.000 Please send me a cover letter.
01:45:11.000 It has to be specific about why you want to work there, and a resume, james.o'keefe.mediagroup.com, if you want to be the EA.
01:45:19.000 Position's in New Jersey right now.
01:45:21.000 And you have to be willing to travel all the time.
01:45:23.000 Do you sing, James?
01:45:24.000 I do.
01:45:25.000 Are there any songs, like top 40s, you know off the top of your head?
01:45:28.000 Top 40 right now?
01:45:29.000 Yeah.
01:45:29.000 I don't even off the top of my head know what's on the top 40, but you know.
01:45:32.000 I just mean like big songs that something that Ian might know how to play.
01:45:36.000 Um...
01:45:36.000 I know, this is tough.
01:45:37.000 How about that song by Miley Cyrus, Flowers?
01:45:40.000 I don't think Ian knows how to play Flowers.
01:45:42.000 I can look up the chords of any song pretty much you name if I know what I can play.
01:45:46.000 That one has like three chords.
01:45:47.000 While they're looking this up, Gamer Wenis says, Infringed was great.
01:45:51.000 Worth the watch.
01:45:52.000 Thanks for all your hard work.
01:45:53.000 Merry Christmas.
01:45:54.000 It was.
01:45:54.000 It was super good.
01:45:56.000 Super good.
01:45:57.000 And maybe what we'll do is now that it's had its run basically, we did the promo, we can release it on the TimCast channel.
01:46:06.000 for like a couple bucks.
01:46:08.000 Like, so you go on YouTube and they have this thing where it's like, you can pay a couple bucks and it'll play for you.
01:46:11.000 I think that, yeah, that'd be pretty cool.
01:46:12.000 We could probably just do that.
01:46:13.000 That way it's like, you know, it goes from the movie theaters, then the video store and then, you know, whatever, that'll be what we'll do.
01:46:21.000 And so we could do the same with Game of Money and put them up on YouTube for like $1.99 or something.
01:46:24.000 Oh, that's a great idea.
01:46:25.000 Yeah, and people can watch them.
01:46:27.000 That'd be very cool.
01:46:29.000 Yeah, yeah, we're working on more.
01:46:30.000 We got more awesome stuff to come.
01:46:33.000 Andrew Ho says, everyone forgets the great predictor movie Die Hard 4 that educated us on the fire sail cyber attack to wipe out the power grid, drain social security monetary resources, etc.
01:46:42.000 It was good.
01:46:43.000 Yep, I like that movie.
01:46:44.000 Don't people think one of the Die Hards is a Christmas movie?
01:46:47.000 The first one.
01:46:47.000 The first one?
01:46:48.000 Because it happens during Christmas.
01:46:49.000 Oh, okay.
01:46:50.000 Right.
01:46:51.000 I've never seen it, so I can't weigh in.
01:46:52.000 It's a semantic argument.
01:46:54.000 What is a Christmas movie?
01:46:55.000 Is a Christmas movie a movie about someone going through the process of Christmas and Santa comes and then they have presents?
01:47:01.000 Or is a Christmas movie a movie that is set at Christmas time?
01:47:04.000 Right.
01:47:05.000 Or involving Christmas as a component of the story.
01:47:07.000 Hmm, interesting.
01:47:08.000 I think it's if it's about Christmas because if you Like, played a rock song in the country.
01:47:15.000 It wouldn't be a country song, just because it's in the country.
01:47:17.000 But that's not what we're saying, right?
01:47:19.000 Is Jurassic Park a dinosaur movie?
01:47:22.000 Yes.
01:47:22.000 Of course!
01:47:23.000 It's about dinosaurs, right?
01:47:25.000 But what if there was, um, is Godzilla a dinosaur movie?
01:47:31.000 Technically, I guess, maybe?
01:47:33.000 This is where people are like, well yeah, Godzilla's basically a dinosaur, a gigantic monster lizard, you know, rampaging.
01:47:39.000 If you made a movie about a giant monster, like a giant T-Rex rampaging through city streets, would you call it a dinosaur movie?
01:47:45.000 And it's like, well, a dinosaur's in it, but it's like a part of the story.
01:47:51.000 Yeah, it's not a dinosaur movie, that's a good point.
01:47:53.000 But this is what the argument is.
01:47:54.000 Die Hard happens during Christmas, and Christmas is a theme.
01:47:57.000 It's a Christmas party, and then they make Christmas references.
01:48:00.000 But it's not a movie about delivering presents to your family.
01:48:03.000 Is Home Alone a Christmas movie?
01:48:05.000 I always think it is.
01:48:06.000 Yeah, I think so.
01:48:07.000 Then Die Hard is.
01:48:08.000 Because Home Alone's a movie about a kid who gets left at home.
01:48:10.000 The Christmas element of it is meaningless.
01:48:13.000 And that was during Christmas, too.
01:48:14.000 Yeah, and they leave him because of Christmas.
01:48:16.000 They're traveling as a family, so it affects the plot.
01:48:19.000 So everyone agrees it's a Christmas movie, but at what point in the movie is it like, you gotta race to get the presents, and then there is where he meets Santa and everything, I get that.
01:48:29.000 Yeah.
01:48:30.000 And Donald Trump makes an appearance in one of those movies, right?
01:48:32.000 Second one.
01:48:33.000 Lost in New York.
01:48:34.000 Was that a Christmas movie?
01:48:36.000 Yeah, because they all happen at Christmas, right?
01:48:38.000 So then Die Hard is, too.
01:48:40.000 Oh, interesting.
01:48:42.000 Yeah, it's like all the kid does is mercilessly maim and wound two burglars.
01:48:47.000 You know what I mean?
01:48:48.000 It's a crime-fighting Christmas movie.
01:48:50.000 That's very interesting.
01:48:51.000 But hold on, hold on.
01:48:52.000 Merry Christmas and Home Alone are like almost the same movie.
01:48:56.000 Never saw Merry Christmas.
01:48:58.000 What is, what is, what is, um...
01:49:01.000 What's Die Hard Guy's name?
01:49:03.000 Wow, I can't believe I forgot his name.
01:49:04.000 The actor?
01:49:04.000 No, no, the character.
01:49:06.000 John McClane.
01:49:07.000 McClane, yeah.
01:49:08.000 What is he doing?
01:49:09.000 He's sneaking around, playing pranks on these terrorists, right?
01:49:15.000 It's a bit more direct, but the terrorists, like, walk in the room and then the walkie-talkie goes off and they come in and then he just beats the crap out of them and then he's got the gun taped to his back.
01:49:23.000 It's the same story!
01:49:25.000 You know?
01:49:25.000 Kind of.
01:49:26.000 Die Hard and Home Alone.
01:49:27.000 James, what if he doesn't agree that Die Hard is a Christmas movie?
01:49:29.000 He's got his shirt off, and he's got a gun duct-taped to his back, and then he's like, yippee-ki-yay, and he grabs it.
01:49:36.000 Just like Santa.
01:49:37.000 Just like when the paint can falls down and hits Murray in the face.
01:49:40.000 Love that scene.
01:49:41.000 Interesting.
01:49:42.000 He steps on the broken glass.
01:49:43.000 You guys remember when Family Guy spoofed Home Alone?
01:49:45.000 No.
01:49:46.000 They like walk in the house and the one guy's like, a paint can swings down.
01:49:50.000 Oh yeah.
01:49:50.000 Oh, that was weird.
01:49:51.000 And he's like, yeah, there was some glue on the porch, but I just walked over it.
01:49:54.000 Yeah, the doorknob was hot.
01:49:55.000 I just let go.
01:49:56.000 And then the kid, Kevin McCallister, goes, ha ha, I've got you now.
01:49:58.000 And he goes, bang, and just shoots him.
01:50:00.000 And he's like, all right, you want to steal stuff?
01:50:01.000 Yeah.
01:50:04.000 They're like, now home alone with competent burglars.
01:50:06.000 It's great.
01:50:07.000 Then there's like no witnesses or whatever.
01:50:08.000 It's so funny.
01:50:12.000 Where we at?
01:50:13.000 Let's grab, uh, what is this?
01:50:15.000 Is This Dom says Rothschild LLC bought a large amount of Boeing shares today.
01:50:19.000 Black Rock State Street and others boosted their existing Boeing holdings as well.
01:50:23.000 They're gearing up for World War III.
01:50:26.000 Maybe, but the implication is if they're buying stock, they don't intend the world to fail.
01:50:31.000 They think at some point someone will want to buy those stocks as well.
01:50:34.000 So.
01:50:35.000 Yeah.
01:50:36.000 You know, that's the thing.
01:50:37.000 When people start buying up water, like if, I don't know, like Mark Zuckerberg was going to spend $250 million on say like a Hawaiian emergency underground bunker with like massive private security, then I'd be worried, right?
01:50:49.000 It's concerning, yeah.
01:50:50.000 Oh wait, he did that.
01:50:52.000 Anyway, no, to be fair, Zuckerberg bought a massive mansion on one of the westernmost islands of Hawaii, and it includes a 5,000 square foot bunker.
01:51:03.000 The media makes it seem more like he's building a quarter billion dollar emergency bunker in the middle of nowhere.
01:51:09.000 To be fair, however, most of the ultra-wealthy are doing that.
01:51:13.000 So, you know, as soon as they start flying to New Zealand, or to Montana, to their mountain bunkers, I think a bunch of them have deep mountain bunkers in, like, Wyoming and Montana.
01:51:23.000 Watch what they do, not what they say.
01:51:26.000 Exactly.
01:51:27.000 They're like, everything is fine, the stocks are great, and they're doing a live feed as they're lowering into, like, a submarine, going to their underwater... Exactly.
01:51:37.000 Well, you know, rumor is, the ultra-wealthy have built a city underwater.
01:51:41.000 I thought it was under the Denver airport.
01:51:43.000 No, no, no.
01:51:44.000 They built it underwater.
01:51:45.000 Where they can be free from regulation.
01:51:46.000 Yeah, they call it Rapture.
01:51:49.000 I want to go there.
01:51:51.000 We make, every single day on this show, we make Bioshock references.
01:51:55.000 Every day, in the chat, there's a poll, would you kindly share and like the show?
01:52:00.000 Would you kindly?
01:52:01.000 Wow.
01:52:02.000 I don't know what Bioshock is.
01:52:04.000 One of the best video games ever made.
01:52:05.000 Badass first person shooter RPG.
01:52:07.000 It's awesome.
01:52:08.000 It's a sci-fi fantasy based off of like objectivist ideas from like the Fountainhead and Atlas
01:52:16.000 Shrugged.
01:52:17.000 That's cool.
01:52:18.000 The boss is actually is literally named Atlas.
01:52:21.000 And the story is basically ultra wealthy people build a city underwater to escape regulation
01:52:25.000 and a core component of the story is that gene splicing becomes rampant because there's
01:52:30.000 no regulations and people are injecting themselves with genetic modification that gives them
01:52:35.000 And so, in the first one, I love it, in the original Bioshock, because you'll get like, you'll get, I forget what they're called, it's been so long since I played it, but it actually shows the arms, and then it goes like, and sticks the needle in the arm, and then fire comes out of his hand.
01:52:49.000 But then when they did Bioshock Infinite, he's drinking a soda.
01:52:52.000 That's how he gets it, is he drinks it?
01:52:54.000 Yeah, in the Bajaj Infinite, I think they were like, the injecting into the arm is not very family-friendly.
01:53:00.000 He cracks a soda and drinks it, and it's like, ah, come on.
01:53:04.000 But then some people end up becoming deranged from splicing, and so they're like, and they're all messed up.
01:53:10.000 Regulation and all bad.
01:53:12.000 That's true.
01:53:13.000 What do we got?
01:53:14.000 Gabriel Lopez says a country is not an idea of a piece of paper.
01:53:17.000 They are a people.
01:53:18.000 If you switch the entire population of U.S.
01:53:20.000 and Brazil, the Constitution will be taken down overnight and everything would be- would Brazilify.
01:53:24.000 Immigration, legal or illegal, will kill Americans.
01:53:26.000 It's over.
01:53:27.000 A country is its people.
01:53:29.000 That's right.
01:53:29.000 Did you figure out how to play Miley Cyrus?
01:53:31.000 I have the chords, I just don't know the rhythm.
01:53:33.000 We could sing something more simple like, Oh What a Beautiful Morning.
01:53:37.000 Is that too old school?
01:53:38.000 I like it.
01:53:39.000 It's very simple, it's very... This is your big break, James.
01:53:42.000 You better not screw it up.
01:53:43.000 It's a Friday night dance session with James O'Keefe!
01:53:45.000 This is from like 1939 right now.
01:53:47.000 How about House of the Rising Sun?
01:53:49.000 House of the Rising Sun?
01:53:51.000 That one's easy.
01:53:51.000 What are the chords for that?
01:53:53.000 A... What is that?
01:53:54.000 A, C, D, F?
01:53:56.000 I'm a bass too, so it's gotta be low octave.
01:53:58.000 Wow, there's a lot of chords in Oh What a Beautiful Morning.
01:54:03.000 There is a house.
01:54:04.000 House of the Rising Sun.
01:54:04.000 You know the words House of the Rising Sun.
01:54:06.000 I'm not gonna be able to play that one.
01:54:07.000 House of the Rising Sun?
01:54:08.000 How's that I can play that one?
01:54:09.000 Yeah, it's four chords.
01:54:10.000 I think I gotta tune this.
01:54:12.000 It should.
01:54:12.000 Yeah, it might have slipped.
01:54:13.000 There is a house in New Orleans.
01:54:15.000 What is it?
01:54:16.000 A minor, C, D, F?
01:54:18.000 Is that what it is?
01:54:20.000 A minor, C, D, F?
01:54:21.000 There is... Yeah, well, it is...
01:54:25.000 A minor, C, D, F, then it goes A minor, E, A minor, E. Yep.
01:54:29.000 That's probably the chorus or something?
01:54:31.000 No, that is just like the last part of the, uh, And God I know I'm one.
01:54:35.000 That's the A minor, E, A minor.
01:54:37.000 Oh, okay.
01:54:37.000 A minor, E, A minor, E. Yeah, let's rock.
01:54:40.000 Or is it E, A minor, E, A minor?
01:54:42.000 Think you got a pick over there or anything?
01:54:44.000 Of course!
01:54:44.000 Nice!
01:54:45.000 You come prepared, homie!
01:54:46.000 What room is this?
01:54:48.000 I should have one on me, thanks.
01:54:50.000 We are going to close out this year with a very short, very simple Friday Night Jam session.
01:54:55.000 James O'Keefe brings you House of the Rising Sun.
01:54:58.000 I knew the first part of this song.
01:54:59.000 Is it just a repeat of the first part?
01:55:01.000 What is happening?
01:55:02.000 This is great.
01:55:03.000 You want to pull up the lyrics?
01:55:05.000 I got the lyrics.
01:55:06.000 Why are we not doing a Christmas show?
01:55:09.000 I'll just do that again. No, no.
01:55:22.000 No, no, you didn't play it right.
01:55:24.000 That's what it says here.
01:55:25.000 There is, there is a house down in New Orleans.
01:55:32.000 They call the rising sun.
01:55:38.000 Give yourself double the room so we can get the reverb when you're singing it.
01:55:41.000 And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
01:55:50.000 And God, I know I'm wrong.
01:55:56.000 Same thing, right?
01:55:57.000 Yeah.
01:56:00.000 Oh my gosh, Tim's joining in on guitar, everybody.
01:56:02.000 How long since I've heard this song?
01:56:04.000 Are we allowed to play it on the show?
01:56:08.000 I don't know.
01:56:08.000 Is it the mother?
01:56:09.000 Yeah.
01:56:10.000 Mother, she was a sailor.
01:56:18.000 She saw Molly in my dreams.
01:56:26.000 My father was a gamblin' man.
01:56:33.000 Down, way down, all day.
01:56:38.000 Keep it goin', kids.
01:56:43.000 I don't know where I am there.
01:56:44.000 This is like an interlude.
01:56:46.000 We're going to be back to the beginning or down?
01:56:49.000 Now the only thing.
01:56:50.000 Now the only thing, ready?
01:56:53.000 Now the only thing a gambling man ever needs is a suitcase, Lord, a suitcase and a truck.
01:57:08.000 And the only time a fool like him is satisfied is when he's all stone cold, stone cold drunk.
01:57:21.000 Back to the beginning?
01:57:23.000 Sure.
01:57:23.000 Ready?
01:57:24.000 Almost.
01:57:26.000 Almost.
01:57:29.000 Oh shit, let's just go right into it.
01:57:34.000 There is a house way down in New Orleans They call the rising sun
01:57:43.000 And it's been the rule of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm not the only one
01:57:58.000 But I know I'm not the only one Second place?
01:58:05.000 the polls.
01:58:07.000 No, that one's it.
01:58:08.000 Did you already get the ball and chain part?
01:58:11.000 I think that's good.
01:58:12.000 There we go.
01:58:13.000 What a fun new band!
01:58:15.000 I've got an original I'd like to play for you guys.
01:58:17.000 It's the first song I ever wrote.
01:58:18.000 James and the Crosslands.
01:58:19.000 Yeah, check this out.
01:58:21.000 I'll sing it up top, I'll play it down here.
01:58:24.000 First song I ever wrote.
01:58:25.000 It's called On Walking.
01:58:27.000 Oh thanks, Serge.
01:58:29.000 Serge is gonna throw me a microphone.
01:58:30.000 I think the single mic works as long as it's right in between and you back up a little.
01:58:33.000 Yeah, I can do it.
01:58:35.000 Yeah, these are podcast mics, so if you want to sing into them, you pull them back so that you get the room, you know.

02:02:32.000 No, you have to sing a Christmas carol now.
02:02:34.000 It's Christmas.
02:02:35.000 You guys, give me some options and I'll sing.
02:02:37.000 Give me some different options.
02:02:39.000 Glycerine by Bush.
02:02:40.000 No way, you guys are not festive at all right now.
02:02:43.000 That's my favorite song.
02:02:44.000 What else?
02:02:44.000 Come on, come on.
02:02:45.000 What else?
02:02:45.000 We want Christmas.
02:02:46.000 The point is top 40s, big hit, James O'Keefe singing.
02:02:48.000 Give me a couple options.
02:02:50.000 All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey.
02:02:51.000 I can sing that one.
02:02:53.000 That's a good one.
02:02:53.000 Right before Christmas?
02:02:56.000 Come on, let's do that.
02:02:56.000 Yes, yes, yes.
02:02:58.000 We might be able to figure it out.
02:03:00.000 Yes, I'm loving this optimism.
02:03:01.000 That's like the most famous Christmas song of all time.
02:03:04.000 It's a beautiful song.
02:03:04.000 Yes, yes.
02:03:05.000 Let's do that one.
02:03:07.000 We can figure this out.
02:03:11.000 I mean, it's not a complicated song.
02:03:12.000 It's not complicated.
02:03:13.000 C, E minor, C, D. Yeah, you can do it.
02:03:16.000 Everyone's talented.
02:03:16.000 I would have to listen to the song to actually be able to play it.
02:03:18.000 Alright, let's listen to it for a second.
02:03:20.000 It's a key of G. Oh yeah, this is it.
02:03:26.000 Just listen to the first year.
02:03:29.000 C minor.
02:03:33.000 This is a little complicated.
02:03:34.000 You just gotta get those chords.
02:03:36.000 We're not getting it.
02:03:37.000 Oh, no, you're not gonna do it?
02:03:38.000 We're not gonna get it.
02:03:39.000 It's too difficult?
02:03:40.000 It's not that it's difficult, it's that something like House of the Rising Sun is four chords and you're done.
02:03:44.000 I see.
02:03:45.000 So if we're gonna pull up a random song right now and just play it without having heard it, it's easy to be like... Next year, last year of the year before Christmas.
02:03:52.000 I can play the iPad way back here and you guys can kinda strum along.
02:03:55.000 You wanna try that?
02:03:56.000 Here we go, here we go.
02:03:59.000 Can you do that because of copyright?
02:04:01.000 Yeah, we can't do that.
02:04:03.000 Even with covers, it's kind of weird.
02:04:05.000 I appreciate the effort, though.
02:04:06.000 It is a classic.
02:04:07.000 It's such a great song.
02:04:08.000 It is a classic.
02:04:09.000 Pick a few options.
02:04:11.000 Who's got suggestions in the chat?
02:04:13.000 Maybe there's suggestions.
02:04:14.000 We're going to wrap it up in a second.
02:04:16.000 It's not that complicated, but it's, what, copyrights?
02:04:18.000 No, it's that, like, if we're going to actually play it right, I would need to listen to the song to figure out what the chords are.
02:04:24.000 Next year for Christmas, when you're signed to the label, we'll come back to a whole Christmas album.
02:04:28.000 You can rip the whole thing down to four chords and ignore whatever the actual song is.
02:04:32.000 I like that C minor, though.
02:04:34.000 Silent Night, Jingle Bells, Baby It's Cold Outside.
02:04:36.000 Last Christmas by Wham.
02:04:37.000 Last Christmas.
02:04:39.000 That's a great song.
02:04:40.000 Can you do that?
02:04:41.000 Wonderwall?
02:04:41.000 That's not Christmas at all!
02:04:43.000 Freebird?
02:04:45.000 Wonderwall?
02:04:46.000 What else you got?
02:04:47.000 Keep going, fans.
02:04:49.000 Last Christmas is hot.
02:04:50.000 Last Christmas, can we do that?
02:04:51.000 That's a lot of seven chords.
02:04:53.000 Let's see...
02:04:55.000 Can you do that one?
02:05:04.000 Nope.
02:05:05.000 Hallelujah.
02:05:05.000 Is this Tears for Fears?
02:05:07.000 Tears for Fears, which one?
02:05:08.000 How about Everybody Wants to Change the World?
02:05:11.000 Yeah, that's a good one.
02:05:12.000 Everybody Wants to Rule the World?
02:05:14.000 Everybody wants to rule.
02:05:19.000 I think I know that song well enough to maybe be able to- Let's try it.
02:05:21.000 I just retweeted them playing it live.
02:05:23.000 They're so good.
02:05:24.000 As long as you get the pitch right.
02:05:28.000 It's- Yeah.
02:05:29.000 Welcome to your- There's not enough vocals!
02:05:32.000 Welcome to your life.
02:05:34.000 There's no turning back.
02:05:39.000 Can we get that?
02:05:39.000 Let's see, yeah, maybe.
02:05:41.000 Is that the right key?
02:05:50.000 There we go.
02:05:54.000 There's just nothing really there.
02:05:56.000 You want me to start?
02:06:00.000 Yeah, you want to play it in the... I think we got it.
02:06:07.000 I don't think so.
02:06:07.000 Ready to rock?
02:06:08.000 If you can play that lead like that, I can play the rhythm.
02:06:18.000 Here we go, keep going.
02:06:24.000 Here we go.
02:06:27.000 Welcome to your life.
02:06:31.000 There's no turning back.
02:06:36.000 Even while we sleep.
02:06:40.000 We will find you acting on your best behavior.
02:06:46.000 Turn your back on mother nature.
02:06:50.000 Everybody wants to rule the world.
02:06:53.000 Keep going.
02:06:57.000 Keep going.
02:07:00.000 It's my own design.
02:07:04.000 It's my only one.
02:07:05.000 Help me to decide.
02:07:11.000 Help me make the world stop, beat the lyrics.
02:07:17.000 Something I can't remember the words.
02:07:22.000 Everybody wants to rule the world.
02:07:25.000 Here's the bridge.
02:07:26.000 There's a room where the light won't find you.
02:07:29.000 Holding hands while the walls keep tumbling down.
02:07:33.000 When they do, I'll be right behind you.
02:07:37.000 I'm so glad we've almost made it.
02:07:41.000 I'm so sad they had to fade.
02:07:45.000 Everybody wants to do the work.
02:07:49.000 There's one more little part here.
02:07:50.000 I wish I had a bigger screen.
02:07:53.000 There's one more little part here.
02:07:56.000 Ready?
02:07:57.000 Excessive. I I can't stand this indecision.
02:08:02.000 Stand this indecision.
02:08:05.000 Married, live a lack of vision.
02:08:09.000 Everybody wants to be the one.
02:08:14.000 So this is the chorus?
02:08:16.000 Say that you'll never, never, never... Yeah, I can't do that part.
02:08:23.000 You want to keep going?
02:08:24.000 I think that was pretty good.
02:08:25.000 I think we got what we needed out of it.
02:08:26.000 That was great.
02:08:27.000 What a great song.
02:08:28.000 I can't, I can't go higher.
02:08:29.000 I can't stand this indecision.
02:08:32.000 That's too high for my vocal cords.
02:08:34.000 Let's see.
02:08:34.000 Got an octave below there.
02:08:35.000 It's all about getting it out of the core.
02:08:36.000 Mariah Carey would do it though.
02:08:41.000 I don't want a lot for Christmas.
02:08:44.000 There is just one thing I need and I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree.
02:08:51.000 Acapella.
02:08:52.000 I just want you for my own.
02:08:55.000 More than you could ever know.
02:08:58.000 Make my wish come true, all I want for Christmas is you.
02:09:06.000 That was amazing.
02:09:08.000 I think acapella was incredible.
02:09:10.000 What a Christmas gift to the audience.
02:09:12.000 Mariah Carey is shaking in her boots right now.
02:09:14.000 All right, Tim, what's your next one?
02:09:15.000 You get one.
02:09:16.000 I don't got any ones.
02:09:17.000 You want to play one of yours?
02:09:20.000 I don't know.
02:09:22.000 What's the next one?
02:09:23.000 The next big one coming out in 2024?
02:09:25.000 The next song we're doing?
02:09:26.000 Yeah, what do you want to do next?
02:09:28.000 I don't know.
02:09:29.000 So the song that we're working on where Ian did the body transformation, it takes 48 hours to render 10 seconds of the video because it's all like heavy CGI and crazy effects.
02:09:39.000 So that one might be done by mid-January, but we've got, I think, We might have two other songs that are done, that are just sitting there, unreleased, because we're like, I don't know.
02:09:49.000 But I think by March we might have like a, between eight and ten songs, so I don't know.
02:09:54.000 I've got a new one I've just wrote I could play, or I could do Come Down by Bush, which I really like a lot.
02:10:00.000 Do you know the words to Come Down?
02:10:01.000 Do I know the melody is the question.
02:10:04.000 The words I can look up.
02:10:06.000 Well, there's gotta be something simpler and better that everybody knows.
02:10:10.000 Right.
02:10:11.000 Love and hate, get it wrong.
02:10:15.000 Cut me right back down to size.
02:10:18.000 Sleep the day, let it fade.
02:10:22.000 Who's there to take your place?
02:10:24.000 No one knows, never will.
02:10:28.000 Surge, hit it.
02:10:29.000 me but mostly you.
02:10:31.000 Me say, do you do when it all comes down?
02:10:38.000 I don't want to come back down from this cloud.
02:10:42.000 It's taken me all this time to find out what I need.
02:10:47.000 Surge, hit it.
02:10:49.000 Yeah.
02:10:50.000 All right, I'm going to play a song.
02:10:51.000 Give it to me.
02:10:52.000 This is the last show of the year, and I am not practiced, but I will try to play the song anyway.
02:10:58.000 And because someone said play words in the book, so this is a song that we've... I've never recorded.
02:11:05.000 Give me those chords really quick.
02:11:08.000 Uh... C-A... Wait, wait.
02:11:12.000 C-B-A...
02:11:15.000 GE.
02:11:17.000 And that might be it.
02:11:19.000 Let's see if I can play it.
02:11:19.000 Maybe I can.
02:11:20.000 I love this song.
02:11:21.000 Remember when we were young?
02:11:22.000 We used to hope for peace.
02:11:51.000 But villains weren't only on TV screens.
02:11:55.000 Please.
02:11:57.000 Flippin'-po.
02:11:59.000 The market's made up of broken hopes and dreams to put you back into mediocrity.
02:12:15.000 Taking more, taking spite of this, Focus on the ways.
02:12:21.000 I guess you'll never change that day.
02:12:27.000 It's hard to believe that you mean nothing to me.
02:12:34.000 Cause you used to be everything.
02:12:41.000 Remember when we used to fight for peace?
02:12:49.000 But heroes were only on TV screens.
02:12:55.000 My heart is made up of broken hopes and dreams.
02:13:01.000 I'll take my place in this story.
02:13:10.000 Taking more, taking spite of this.
02:13:15.000 Focus on the ways I really wished you'd change that day.
02:13:21.000 It's hard to believe that you mean nothing to me.
02:13:29.000 Cause you used to be everything.
02:13:38.000 There were words in a book about what we've been through.
02:13:45.000 There are lines in a script written for me and you.
02:13:51.000 You take it all inside and pray it works.
02:13:58.000 Another aching in your heart starts to burn Taking more, taking spite of this
02:14:32.000 and focus on the ways...
02:14:36.000 I really hope you'll change someday.
02:14:41.000 It's hard to believe but I'm moving on with my dreams Cause you were never there for me
02:14:53.000 There were words in a book about what we've been through There are lines in a script written for me and you.
02:15:10.000 So take it all in stride and pray it works.
02:15:17.000 Another aching in your heart starts to burn 🎵
02:15:33.000 🎵 And that is the end of the year!

02:17:05.000 Oh, yeah.
02:17:06.000 You know this one?
02:17:06.000 I gotta get the lyrics.
02:17:07.000 I do, but what's the name of it again?
02:17:09.000 My Hero.
02:17:12.000 It's a Foo Fighters song, and here it comes.
02:17:15.000 There goes my hero.
02:17:17.000 That's it.
02:17:18.000 Yeah, I just don't remember the verses, but go ahead.
02:17:20.000 Maybe you can get me started.
02:17:21.000 I'll keep it going.
02:17:23.000 It's the verse.
02:17:26.000 Dude, start it for me.
02:17:27.000 I'll sing the chorus.
02:17:28.000 See you next time.
