It's a blizzard in Iowa, and we're here to talk about it. Plus, a story about Texas deploying armed National Guard soldiers to block CBP from accessing a river, and the death of an American journalist in Ukraine.
00:00:49.000But it is pretty wild, considering that you have someone like Ron DeSantis currently here, when there's a state of emergency going on in Florida over the flooding.
00:00:57.000So it is interesting, considering Donald Trump's gonna win.
00:00:59.000But we're talking about the news first, before we get into all the caucus stuff.
00:01:02.000There's a huge story, we got the report from the Post Millennial.
00:01:04.000Texas deployed armed National Guard soldiers.
00:01:08.000A DOJ filing says that armed soldiers were deployed by the National Guard to block CBP from accessing the river.
00:01:14.000This is worrisome, because we have talked about that quite a bit on the show.
00:01:17.000What happens when Texas deploys its own, I mean, this is National Guard, this is military forces, against federal officers, federal agents, to prevent them from facilitating their human smuggling and illegal immigration operation?
00:02:47.000It's a Friday, so we're gonna be hanging out and having a good time, but I think we'll be trapped here because of the blizzard, but we'll figure it out.
00:02:53.000Become a member to support the work that we do.
00:02:55.000Coming to Iowa to do this special show and this caucus event.
00:02:59.000We're having a live event with a 50 or so seats, semi-town hall style, rotating guests.
00:03:04.000It is going to be an hour longer than usual, and there won't be a Members Only Uncensored because we want to give more people a chance to come in, talk about how the caucus went, and so we'll have some rotating guests.
00:03:14.000But, my friends, it is difficult to do these things.
00:03:17.000It's very, very expensive to be able to fly out for these primaries.
00:03:22.000With your support as members at TimCast.com, we can do more events like this where we can even bring you guys in and you can hang out and ask questions.
00:03:28.000So again, TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
00:03:35.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Laura Loomer.
00:04:12.000So I have my crew here with me from Bloomer Unleashed, and then there were a couple guys who just rolled up in their pickup truck, and they were just so prepared, you know?
00:04:35.000But also, you being kicked out of Nikki Haley's event, and also Ron's event too, right?
00:04:42.000Yeah, so I showed up to Nikki Haley's event.
00:04:44.000I've been in town since last Friday, and I've been covering all the different events.
00:04:47.000I was at Trump rallies, and I went to a Vivek Ramaswamy event the other day, and every candidate has allowed me inside except Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, and I had tickets for both of their events, and before Nikki's event could even begin, I'm just standing there.
00:05:02.000They asked me if I wanted to volunteer, and then all of a sudden I'm surrounded by two police officers in Iowa, in Indianola, And they threatened to arrest me and trespass me unless I left.
00:05:11.000And it's like, uh, hello, I have a ticket.
00:05:22.000Nikki Haley likes to talk big talk about how, oh, I have my ammunition heels and I'm going to, you know, be against the dictators and Trump's a dictator.
00:05:39.000I had tickets, I showed up, and then, you know, they removed me, called the cops, and... We'll play some of these videos and we'll get into all that, so thanks for hanging out.
00:05:47.000We also got Clint Russell hanging out.
00:07:15.000On Thursday night, the Texas National Guard took control of Shelby Park in the city of Eagle Pass, Texas, which has been at the center of President Joe Biden's illegal immigrant crisis at the U.S.
00:07:24.000According to the Dallas Morning News, the state government has seized control of the area and the Texas National Guard has set up razor wire and fences to block off the park.
00:07:32.000A filing from Biden's Department of Justice reveals the Texas National Guard has blocked points of entry and has deployed armed soldiers and vehicles to block Border Patrol agents from access to the river by bypassing through entry points in the federal border barrier.
00:07:47.000Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas told reporters that the decision was made as part of the Republican
00:07:51.000Governor Greg Abbott's emergency declaration and was not something the city had requested.
00:07:55.000He added that as a result, the Border Patrol was not operating in the area.
00:07:58.000Okay, so this is exactly what I said I was worried about weeks ago. When we're looking at the Biden
00:08:05.000administration, CBP facilitating illegal immigration into this country, when you have videos of these,
00:08:11.000it's the construction equipment lifting up the razor wire that was placed there by the state
00:08:16.000to protect the state. You've got the federal government facilitating crimes and unconstitutional
00:08:23.000It's unconstitutional for them not to defend the states from invasion, but they're actually facilitating the illegal immigration outright.
00:08:29.000And then, when Greg Abbott says this is illegal, the DOJ sues them?
00:08:33.000My fear was exactly this, and what comes next terrifies me.
00:08:37.000What happens when the Texas National Guard is deployed with rifles, with weapons, to defend the state and uphold its laws?
00:08:44.000And the Biden administration federal agents say, you are, you're the ones committing the crimes.
00:08:49.000Both groups point at each other saying, you're committing crimes.
00:09:14.000I think because it's a situation where everyone on both sides are trying to preserve life.
00:09:18.000You've got the federal government saying, these poor immigrants, we need to preserve their lives, whereas the Texas government's saying, we need to preserve the lives of our citizens.
00:09:25.000The law enforcement's not going to turn on it.
00:10:00.000So if the Biden administration actually said, we're going to protect these people, he would go to the Mexican government saying, we're securing our borders, we're locking it down, and you need to stop these people before they cross into this dangerous territory.
00:10:09.000That's the argument I would make, personally.
00:10:10.000I don't think that they're helping by urging them to come across the border, but I think the state of mind that they have is toxic compassion.
00:10:20.000I think that's an excessively optimistic perspective on what the Biden administration is there for.
00:10:26.000The EU policy, if you look at the American policy over the past 20-30 years, but really aggressively so as of late, it seems quite clear to me that this is actually a plan to flood the country with immigrants.
00:10:39.000And as a libertarian, I'm rarely am I considered a border hawk, but when you actually look at it and you see that this is like a An operation that's being ran on high, I think that it would be foolish to look the other way and say, oh no, they're just people looking for opportunity.
00:10:56.000If it were the case, as it was historically, that if you were an immigrant that got across the border and the only thing offered to you was perhaps a low-level job and you had to grind your way to the top, That's a totally different incentive structure than what we face today, where these people are offered clothes and food and housing and everything that they could possibly need.
00:11:18.000I don't think that this is an accident, and I don't think it has anything to do with sympathy.
00:11:23.000I was just going to say, I don't think that we can overlook the fact that this is being done in an election year as well, because what's happening is you're having an invasion, okay?
00:11:32.000They're trying to replace the population.
00:11:34.000The great replacement is not some conspiracy theory like the left-wing media.
00:11:39.000They say that it's some kind of white supremacist conspiracy theory, and as we know, it's very real.
00:11:44.000We are being replaced in this country by third world invaders, criminal illegal alien invaders.
00:11:49.000And unfortunately, what's happening is when these illegals are coming to places like Texas, you have governors like Governor Abbott who are then putting them on buses.
00:11:59.000And I had, you know, one of my followers on X sent me a video that they filmed of a bus of these illegals with Texas plates getting dropped off at a train station just outside of Chicago.
00:12:11.000Well, people may think, oh, it's all fun and games, you know, ha ha ha, give these Democrats a taste of their own medicine by shipping them to sanctuary cities.
00:12:17.000But these are cities where they give illegals driver's licenses.
00:12:21.000And so these people are going to have IDs and what's going to stop them, not that we really have voter ID in this country anyway, but what's going to stop these people from voting in our election?
00:12:45.000That's my point, is that they're doing it on purpose and we saw the Democrat from New York, I don't know her name, who said that she's in favor of this because it's going to, you know, create more of these districts.
00:12:55.000There's that school in, I think it was in New York, where they said all the students have to stay home and do remote learning because they're bringing the illegal immigrants into that school.
00:13:03.000Someone posted a political map of the area and found that this area of the city, or this area of New York, voted Republican.
00:13:14.000So sure enough, the area targeted where they're shipping in a bunch of these migrants is a red area.
00:13:19.000But what happens with illegal immigrants in the immediate?
00:13:21.000It is true that when these people come in and then I'm willing to bet that Joe Biden rubber stamps some kind of amnesty executive order unconstitutionally and then makes everyone fight about in the Supreme Court for years.
00:13:32.000But when he does that, you may actually then see a quick turnaround, illegal immigrants voting.
00:13:36.000You will definitely see their children voting.
00:13:38.000They're very likely to vote Democrat because they want the benefits to themselves and their families.
00:13:42.000But in the immediate, when they count population in the census, they will say, oh look, 10 million people live here now.
00:13:50.000That's going to be, I mean, what are we looking at, 12 congressional seats and 12 electoral votes for this state?
00:13:55.000But these people aren't even citizens, but they're getting federal representation.
00:14:00.000It doesn't matter if the single individual votes.
00:14:03.000You have 10 Democrats living in an area and they put 750,000 illegal immigrants in it.
00:14:09.000Those 10 American citizens now get one Democrat to represent them in Congress.
00:14:13.000And that's why it's so important that we get President Trump back in office because President Trump has said that he's in favor of banning birthright citizenship.
00:14:20.000And in fact, every single GOP candidate so far, including Vivek Ramaswamy, has said that they're in favor of banning birthright citizenship, which is what happens, of course, when these anchor babies are born.
00:14:29.000And there's only one candidate that won't agree to it, and it's Nikki Haley, because she would then be disqualified from running for office because she herself is an anchor baby.
00:14:38.000I don't know if you knew that, Tim, but Nikki Haley's parents were not citizens.
00:14:42.000They were both immigrants who had only been in this country for less than three years at the time of her birth, which means that she technically is not a natural-born citizen, which is a requirement to run for president.
00:14:52.000And so that's why we need to elect a president, President Donald Trump, Every single candidate who wants to be president going forward, whether it be 2024, 2028, or onward, needs to commit to banning birthright citizenship.
00:15:04.000We cannot be giving favors out to anchor babies.
00:15:07.000I think there's an interesting way to look at it is...
00:15:10.000I think the argument Donald Trump has, as well as Vivek Ramaswamy, is that the Founding Fathers did not intend for this idea of birthright citizenship, this idea that simply because you were born here, you are now entitled to the full benefits of the public offers and the national defense, etc, etc.
00:15:23.000The 14th Amendment was trying to rectify the issue of slavery, basically saying, these people here, they're citizens.
00:15:30.000And it turned into something that almost no other country on the planet does.
00:15:40.000So, reasonably, I don't think the issue is that we're banning it.
00:15:43.000I think we've got to reframe it, enforcing the existing standards of the Constitution as to what it means to be a citizen.
00:15:52.000This is the game that Democrats are really good at playing, is reframing the narrative that we are the ones who want to take action, when in fact they already took the action in the first place in their interpretation of how you get to be a citizen.
00:16:03.000Become a citizen by the time you turn 18 as a kid just by taking tests and things throughout your your course of life because you could easily educate someone from another country from parents that were illegal to be better citizens, better knowledgeable equipped people than some people that just lounge around and drink Mountain Dew all the time.
00:16:21.000Yes, I think it's important to address that, right?
00:16:23.000You've got leftists who were born in this country, let's say they're fifth or sixth generation American, and they hate this country and want to see it burnt to the ground.
00:16:31.000And then you have people desperately trying to come to this country because they believe in the American dream.
00:16:35.000The only problem, if you're going to commit a crime to enter this country, I don't think you're the kind of person that really does believe in this country.
00:16:42.000Breaking the law to come here is the kind of... It's... You know, if someone comes and knocks on your door and says, I'd like to apply to be a roommate in this building.
00:16:49.000I think it's a really great house and I can pay my rent.
00:16:52.000If someone breaks into your house, you're like, I don't trust this person actually cares about what's going on here.
00:16:56.000I think we're past the time, though, of the discussion about whether it's legal or illegal.
00:17:00.000I think we need a full immigration moratorium.
00:17:03.000We are at full capacity here in this country right now, and I don't think that given, you know, record high inflation, the disaster known as Bidenomics, our wide open border, we don't need anyone else coming into this country.
00:17:16.000This is what I advocated and I ran on as a candidate for Congress when I ran in Florida as well.
00:17:21.000I think that we need a 10-year minimum, probably a 20-year minimum.
00:17:25.000Really, if we're being honest, when we look at the actual number of illegals in this country, immigration moratorium.
00:17:30.000I think we need to halt immigration altogether.
00:17:32.000I'm going to have to counter that, Laura, and say we actually need the inversion and we need to mass deport.
00:18:13.000That's over six times multiplier in less than 25 years.
00:18:19.000If you look at the interest on the national debt, it will be about 150% this year of what we spend on our national defense.
00:18:28.000Our national defense is comparable to the 10 biggest countries in the world.
00:18:33.000I mean, we're talking enormous sums of money.
00:18:35.000So if we're not going to get our financial house in order, then we absolutely have to keep the influx of migrants.
00:18:43.000But that's one way that we can get our financial house in order.
00:18:47.000I mean, just Luke mentioned this earlier, right?
00:18:48.000They're giving sex changes now and health care to illegal aliens.
00:18:52.000The price tag to provide free health care and Just free healthcare to illegal aliens, not to mention the cost of illegal immigration and this invasion in our country as it stands, right?
00:19:04.000So if we want to start reducing our debt and also start being more fiscally responsible and fiscally conservative, Then that's exactly what we need.
00:19:13.000We need to militarize the United States border, as you were referencing in the beginning of the of the show.
00:19:19.000We need mass deportations and we need an immigration moratorium.
00:19:22.000I mean, it's a slap in the face to all Americans who I pay over.
00:19:25.000I mean, there was a point in time I was paying over five hundred dollars a month for health care.
00:19:29.000And so, what, just, you get to come across this country?
00:19:32.000Why not just renounce your United States citizenship and cross over from Mexico illegally and then get a free cell phone and new clothes and free healthcare and a sex change?
00:20:02.000There's a sign at Chicago's O'Hare that reads, starting February 1st, all hotel and off-airport parking shuttles pick up in the lower-level arrival lanes of Terminal 2.
00:20:11.000The pickup sites is a short walk from baggage.
00:20:14.000You then have this ORD bus shuttle center media policy, of course saying, you know, contact media relations.
00:20:20.000But there have been illegal immigrants on mattresses on the floor in O'Hare Airport.
00:20:43.000If you want to make an argument about how we handle legal immigration, I am all for legal immigration.
00:20:48.000But it has to be done legally, and there has to be a process by which we determine how many people can actually come into this country.
00:20:53.000Maybe, as Laura says, the answer is, for now, it's not any.
00:20:56.000And maybe the answer is, it's very few.
00:20:58.000Or maybe actually, if it's done legally, there is an appropriate number.
00:21:02.000For the time being, what we're seeing is that the economy in these cities is at serious risk.
00:21:09.000You can't have camps being propped up.
00:21:12.000You have kids, young Americans who can't afford to pay their rent, can't afford their groceries, but then we're finding out that some of these migrants are getting in, I think it's in Chicago, $7,000 a month in public benefits.
00:21:25.000One illegal immigrant who was brought here, the Biden administration facilitates this with human traffickers and smugglers, puts them on transportation, brings them to these places around the country, has been doing it for years now, and then the taxpayer funds to the tune of $84,000 a year per person.
00:21:41.000And young people aren't even making that much money.
00:21:54.000I mean, I'm not in office, so I guess that it would have to be whoever.
00:21:58.000Well, let's just say President Trump gets back into office.
00:22:01.000It would perhaps there would be some type of system in place To you know keep the people who had already legally begun their process who are in the process and then it just begins so it's not it's not necessarily retroactive of course if you're here illegally we would have mass deportations but I think going forward there definitely needs to be a halt right a halt on visas and
00:22:22.000I mean, it's a national security threat as well, not just an issue of replacement.
00:22:25.000We saw this recently with all of these anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protests in America.
00:22:31.000I mean, these people are openly supporting terrorist organizations, and they're shouting, death to America, death to Jews, death to Christians.
00:22:49.000I mean, what happens if you have some lazy, Uh, you know, low IQ TSA agent that falls asleep or isn't paying attention or is texting, and one of these, uh, jihadists who comes across our border illegally or somehow gets shipped to, uh, the airport, uh, by the Biden administration, makes it into the airport and sets off a bomb in one of the largest, uh, airports in our country.
00:23:10.000Honestly, that's my biggest fear is that one of these days, one of these illegals is going to set off A bomb in, you know, Grand Central Station or one of the airports.
00:23:34.000You close your borders when you go to war.
00:23:36.000You don't let- because the enemies will send their people in, they look like citizens, and they go to the cities and like nine of them will be on a Facebook group like, okay, on this day- They're already here!
00:23:46.000You saw the memo, I released this, I broke this story several months ago and then Daily Caller received the official memo and published it, I'm sure you could pull it up, but they've already confirmed, just weeks after October 7, That you have active Hamas and Hezbollah terror cells in major American cities, like Atlanta, like Chicago, like Washington, D.C., New York City.
00:24:15.000I look at it from a totally different angle in that we've had the war on terror, we've had increased powers for the FBI, the surveillance state, everything else, and we've had open borders for the past 20 plus years, and we still have had no real serious domestic terrorism threats.
00:24:32.000So I think that it has always been overstated that the rest of the world is prepared to blow themselves up to cause us harm.
00:24:39.000If we were to actually treat them with any level of civility and respect, I don't think we would have anything to fear.
00:24:43.000And those that were coming across our borders, we could actually streamline it, make it legal and focus on bringing in people that intend to be productive as opposed to those that are looking for handouts.
00:24:54.000These are very simple answers to the problems that we face, and yet we continue to just...
00:24:59.000Like, pretend as if you're going to have Trump get in there and remedy all this.
00:25:03.000It's like the powers that be have already demonstrated that they will undermine him every step of the way, unless he's going to come in there.
00:25:09.000And he was asked a few days ago, is he interested in retribution?
00:25:12.000And he said, I don't have enough time for retribution.
00:25:15.000If you don't have time for retribution, you're not going to fix anything.
00:25:22.000He damaged the entire planet with his funding of that.
00:25:25.000Yeah personally I also just wanted to add that I that I'm also more afraid of all the illegals that the CIA brings in as of course in 2001 there was even a State Department official whistleblower that came out on the record and said hey these these guys that were you know the 9-11 hijackers they were Denied visas at first until the CIA intervened and got them into the United States because of their deliberate interference and them stopping government agents from stopping the actual bad guys from coming in.
00:25:54.000So I think they want the bad guys to come in.
00:25:56.000I think they want this kind of terrorism as the FBI is warning people saying, hey, you guys should watch out as we're watching for Trump supporters and people who go to parent-teacher school conferences.
00:26:06.000I completely agree with you, and I think that they want it because they want to blame Trump supporters, right?
00:26:11.000Like you just said, they want to make it seem like the biggest threat in this country is the white Christian male or, you know, the white Trump supporter, when in reality, The deep state and all of these federal law enforcement agencies, they benefit every single time there's a terrorist attack, like an actual terrorist attack, right?
00:26:27.000Because they get to expand the surveillance state.
00:26:53.000They are training, they are propping up these people, paying them to attack us.
00:26:57.000It doesn't even have to be a real terrorist attack.
00:26:59.000They can just make it seem as if there's one and they can still roll out and increase the surveillance state and the funding for the FBI, which, by the way, if Trump, once again, I'm sorry, I've got to circle back to this.
00:27:10.000If Trump isn't interested in retribution, he is once again going to be undermined.
00:27:14.000If you're not interested in retribution against the FBI, which attempted to coup you...
00:27:20.000I didn't hear that clip, but I do know that there's multiple, you know, clips from President Trump's rallies where he says, I am your retribution.
00:27:27.000And I know for a fact, from my own conversations with President Trump as well, that 100%, you know, he says it publicly, so it's not like I'm saying anything private.
00:28:14.000And he's going to, but I agree with you.
00:28:16.000I do think that maybe it's a messaging.
00:28:18.000I don't work for Trump, you know, but maybe because the media went so crazy when he made his little joke about, Oh, I'm going to be a dictator for one day.
00:28:25.000And now he talks about it at every single campaign rally.
00:28:28.000Perhaps, perhaps they are messaging like you just suggested.
00:28:32.000So people don't actually think he's going to go out and be a dictator.
00:28:35.000Although I personally wouldn't mind dictator Trump.
00:28:38.000I mean, if it means retribution, right?
00:28:43.000If it means shutting down the FBI, closing our border, if that's what dictator Trump looks like, then bring it on, right?
00:28:49.000But I'm pretty sure Donald Trump isn't just going to get back into office and, you know, say, oh, it's business as usual with these people that decided to completely screw my family and screw me and jail my supporters as political prisoners for the last three years.
00:29:01.000That man's facing 700 plus years in prison, potentially.
00:29:04.000If he's not upset about that to the point that he actually... Like, you don't have to do anything dictatorial.
00:29:36.000And, you know, it'd be great if—it's not that his campaign doesn't do good messaging, but look, President Trump has to spend hours every single day sitting in a courtroom, okay?
00:29:46.000He has to spend hours traveling, right?
00:29:49.000He just had a—he had a town hall in Iowa the other night, and then imagine how exhausted he must be flying from Iowa in a snowstorm to New York City Sitting in a courtroom with that corrupt Judge Arthur N. Goron and Letitia James all day, and then flying back to wherever he flew next, and then he's coming to Iowa again.
00:30:13.000Look into his story because it really does reveal a lot of the government agents working within the federal bureaucracy that want bad people to come in and do really horrible things to the American people.
00:30:24.000So they did it before, they were never held accountable for it.
00:30:26.000They're going to probably do it again.
00:30:27.000Let's talk about what's going on up here in this caucus.
00:30:30.000We have this tweet From Rand Paul, it's a meme made by Being Libertarian, and ladies and gentlemen, it's one of the best memes I've ever seen.
00:30:38.000It says, Netflix presents Hillary, and it's a picture of Nikki Haley, and it is masterfully done.
00:30:44.000Rand Paul, of course, released an anti-endorsement with NeverNikki.net.
00:30:50.000Where he's basically given his message.
00:30:53.000So far, there's no heavy endorsement, but he's just saying, at least not Nikki Haley.
00:30:58.000I think this meme purposefully, I mean, I'm sorry, perfectly encapsulates wokeness, Netflix, the Democrats, and why Nikki Haley is Nikki Hillary.
00:31:23.000And so if you come out, I'll tell you this, you go to the average person and you say, Nikki Haley lied about what Russia's intentions are in Eastern Europe to expand foreign war and get us to spend the money.
00:31:34.000And I'm telling you, if she's elected, we're going to see war in the Middle East.
00:31:37.000They're going to go, If you go up to the average person and go, yo, look at this, Nikki, Nikki Haley, Hillary!
00:31:43.000They're going to start laughing their asses off.
00:31:44.000That mockery reaches the average person because it's the lowest common denominator.
00:31:48.000It reaches some of them because some other people be like, oh, what do you show me that crap for?
00:31:53.000Like, and just be like turned off by and be like, don't make fun of, don't be cruel.
00:31:57.000But the point is making a coherent political argument about Nikki Haley's awful foreign policy and who she's aligned with and where she gets her donations from.
00:32:07.000is so over-the-top esoteric, the average person says, look, I don't know what you're talking about, dude.
00:32:11.000But if you show a meme that makes fun of Netflix's wokeness and how they do these diversity castings, it makes people laugh.
00:32:19.000And the idea is— Why is she white, though?
00:32:21.000Shouldn't she be black if this is a real— Well, that's the point.
00:32:24.000She is— She's the minority version of Hillary Clinton.
00:32:27.000But if it was a real Netflix special, Nikki Haley and Hillary wouldn't even be on there, right?
00:32:41.000Maybe I'm just black, but I feel like I shouldn't have to explain to the American people why they shouldn't support Nikki Haley at this point.
00:32:49.000If you've been alive for the past 20 years and you've seen what the neocons have done and the neoprogressives or the neoliberals or whatever you want to classify the Clintons as, Bro, of course you have to explain it.
00:32:59.000matter. And you still haven't figured out that like everything they've told you has been a lie
00:33:04.000and it has just destroyed the world, destroyed your financial well-being. I still have to explain
00:33:09.000to you that Nikki Haley is not a good option for president.
00:33:11.000I can't even believe this chick's running. It's unbelievable. Bro, of course you have to
00:33:14.000explain it. The average person doesn't know anything about foreign policy or politics and Nikki Haley
00:33:19.000goes on stage and the average person, I'm not talking about people who are into politics,
00:33:25.000The average person who decides for some reason to watch is gonna see Nikki Haley go, Vladimir Putin is going to go after Poland and our allies.
00:33:32.000You know, she does that thing where she doesn't open her mouth when she talks, it's really weird.
00:33:35.000But she's gonna be like, he's going to invade, he's like Hitler.
00:33:39.000You know, I don't know who this lady is, or anything about Russia, but that sounds scary.
00:33:43.000Then Donald Trump will say something in his show, he'll be like, it's not correct, you know, Vladimir Putin is, he wants Crimea, and they're gonna say, huh, who do I believe?
00:33:52.000The way, the reason why memes are so effective is that that regular person sees Donald Trump memes where he's riding a tank or a velociraptor with a machine gun, and they laugh.
00:34:03.000That mockery of Trump, and it is, but it's positive, it's like, look how strong and tough he is, Nikki Haley is insulted as a bad Hillary Clinton who everyone hates.
00:34:12.000Then, when you're sitting with your friends and you turn on the debate, or whatever it is you're watching, and she says those lies about Vladimir Putin, that person goes, she's Hillary Clinton, dude.
00:34:31.000Yeah, they work against certain people that they'll be like, haha, yeah, but other times you've got to explain her role on the board of Boeing, and that she's part of the war machine.
00:34:39.000And you're correct, but everybody hates Hillary Clinton.
00:34:42.000She was one of the most despised candidates we've ever seen, and that's one of the reasons she lost in 2016.
00:34:48.000So when you show a picture of Nikki Haley and call her Hillary, The people who don't know anything about it instantly understand what that means.
00:34:56.000I would say, though, that we're living in different times.
00:34:58.000I do think that memetic warfare is certainly, you know, influential.
00:35:12.000And that's why you have David Plouffe, who is Barack Hussein Obama's former campaign manager, urging Democrats to show up on Caucus Day in Iowa to change their registration to Republican to vote for Nikki Haley.
00:35:24.000It's not that people actually like Nikki Haley.
00:35:26.000I'm sure that Democrats and Republicans both recognize the fact that she's a warmonger and a neocon who, you know, has a board position with Boeing and has really shady ties to defense contractors that made her a multimillionaire.
00:35:40.000But this is about getting Donald Trump.
00:35:46.000I think that Donald Trump's going to overwhelmingly win the Iowa caucus, but that's why you're seeing all of Hillary Clinton's donors, people like Reid Hoffman, OK, who's the second largest Democrat Party mega donor after George Soros, line up to support Nikki Haley.
00:35:58.000They don't actually care about Nikki Haley.
00:36:01.000It's not like they really care about her policies.
00:36:03.000They just want to get Trump, whoever that is.
00:36:07.000I think they're even pushing for a contingent election.
00:36:10.000That's why RFK's PAC just invested $15 million in key swing states because, by their own admission, they said that their goal is to get 15 electoral votes so that neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump get 270.
00:36:25.000And then what happens, per the Constitution, with a contingent election is Congress then gets to decide who our president is.
00:36:35.000But we currently have a one-seat majority, because with all these Republicans retiring, we could have Speaker Hakeem Jeffries by March if one of these geriatrics in Congress has a stroke, gets cancer, has a heart attack, dies, gets in a car accident, or resigns because they have, whatever, some kind of family emergency.
00:36:51.000We already know that there's a ton of rhinos in Congress who hate Trump, and they would love to screw Donald Trump.
00:36:57.000In an election year by saying, you know what, we're just going to retire early and there you go, Speaker Jeffries.
00:37:04.000That's why Kevin McCarthy retired early and that's why they ousted George Santos.
00:37:08.000This is a good point, though, because one play to consider, though I don't know how likely it would be, is if a few of the rhinos in Congress resign, giving Democrats the slim majority by having maybe a seat.
00:37:20.000But once they have Congress, they immediately vote to charge Trump with insurrection or they simply just pass a resolution saying Trump is an insurrectionist.
00:37:28.000And I truly believe that's their strategy.
00:37:30.000I think that the rhinos are doing that.
00:37:32.000And I wouldn't be surprised if by March, and people can record this and there's going to be a recording.
00:37:55.000If he is, you know, waylaid, if he's robbed, if he's thrown off of enough state ballots that he's, whatever reason, it's illegitimate and he's kept out of office.
00:38:04.000How is the MAGA base going to react to that?
00:38:07.000Well, there's gonna be a revolution in this country.
00:38:09.000We are voting for President Trump regardless of whether or not his name's on the ballot.
00:38:13.000They're not going to steal our elections from us.
00:38:15.000And this is why everybody should be appalled by these Soros-funded secretaries of state, like Jenna Griswold in Colorado or Shana Bellows in Maine, who are, you know, removing President Trump's name unconstitutionally from the ballot.
00:38:28.000And that's my point about the contingent election, right?
00:38:31.000If they are successful, like let's say the Supreme Court rules against President Trump, right? He won't get the
00:38:36.000electoral votes in those states and it will set a precedent and allow for other blue states or states with RINO or
00:38:43.000Democrat secretaries of state to remove him from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. And so you see the
00:38:50.000possibility become more of a reality, right? Of neither candidate getting 270, especially with the way that RFK Jr.
00:38:59.000is being so heavily funded as an independent.
00:39:02.000I think Vivek was saying one of the plays is it's not about the Democratic Party.
00:39:08.000You know, we've talked about, you know, the JP Morgan guy say Joe Biden's going to have a medical issue in March.
00:40:06.000I'm very nervous because even if, say by some miracle, Trump beats all the charges and he's actually on the ballots and he wins the election and he gets into power and the deep state doesn't take him out.
00:40:18.000But he gets through all those ifs and he finally gets in there.
00:40:21.000I still think we're looking at the potential for a revolution in this country just because I think that the media and the deep state will activate the left in this country in a way that's extraordinarily dangerous.
00:42:28.000I mean, this is the only reason that I even consider the potential of a Trump second term being a positive, is if he is actually recognized.
00:42:38.000And he always says this, so he has to have recognized it.
00:42:41.000He always says, they're not after me, they're after you.
00:43:25.000Because if there isn't a restoration, the next person to step up... I mean, you take a look at how Donald Trump is approaching this election saying, we're not going to have time for retribution, our success will be our retribution.
00:43:37.000I agree with the idea that... I certainly think Trump wants revenge.
00:43:41.000But I do think He's concerned about being portrayed as an authoritarian dictator, and he's trying to play it down a little bit to win votes.
00:43:48.000But you look at Vivek Ramaswamy getting up there and saying, we're going to dismantle the ATF, we're going to dismantle the FBI, we're going to break these things apart.
00:43:55.000He's coming out substantially way more direct in what needs to be done in this country.
00:44:00.000If Donald Trump is not the candidate this time around, the next person we may get, who may be Vivek, is going to be much, much more direct.
00:44:07.000Well, and I don't think that President Trump has a problem with being direct, but let's be honest, Vivek's not going to win, okay?
00:44:14.000And so I like Vivek, I do, but when you're not going to win and you don't have the media necessarily... I mean, let's be honest, the media is ignoring Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:44:35.000But you can be more direct, not saying that Trump is withholding, but Vivek has the liberty to, I guess, be a little bit more wild on the campaign trail because the reality is he's not going to win.
00:44:48.000I'm pretty sure he knows he's not going to win.
00:44:50.000And I think that he would be great for 2028 as long as he stays in his place and he doesn't, you know, disrespect President Trump.
00:44:57.000And I say stay in his place because America First is a movement.
00:45:01.000And I think that President Trump is the leader of the America First movement.
00:45:05.000And obviously, President Trump's not going to be around forever.
00:45:07.000And so we need someone to carry on that legacy.
00:45:11.000You don't get to carry on the legacy by being disrespectful like all these other candidates have, like Ron DeSantis, okay?
00:45:17.000The vague Ramaswamy is running the campaign that Ron DeSantis should have run.
00:45:28.000I'm talking about, he's been able to walk this fine line of technically running against Donald Trump, but also not pissing off the MAGA base.
00:45:37.000And so if he watches, if he stays in his place and he doesn't get too haughty in the sense that he doesn't start supporting weaponized government, and I don't think that he will, I think Vivek Ramaswamy will walk into the White House in 2028.
00:45:51.000He is running the campaign Ron should have run.
00:46:13.000And I can also respect why he can't just come out and be like, guys, I get it.
00:46:17.000And he's trying to build up his bona fides right now.
00:46:20.000One of his plays, which is absolutely just expressed in great detail on the show we had on Wednesday, was he believes the deep state will stop at nothing to remove Trump.
00:46:49.000In the event that the worst happens to Trump, whatever that may be, I don't know, I'm not suggesting anything, but let's just say for some reason Trump is gone, I am very grateful that it will not just be handed to Nikki Hillary.
00:46:59.000No, and I'm grateful that... I had Vivek on my show last week and, you know, he said exactly that, right?
00:47:04.000He said that he recognizes that he... I don't... You could watch the clip and see what he said word for word on my show, Loomer Unleashed, but it was like, I'm in this race to make sure that it's not just a two-person race between Nikki Haley and Joe Biden.
00:47:16.000So, he's essentially running a campaign to be a safety net for President Trump, but we already know that Vivek—see, what I don't like is I don't like all of the theories, right, that are pushed by right-wingers, like, oh yeah, Tucker's gonna be VP, oh, Vivek's gonna be VP.
00:47:28.000No, Tucker already said he's not gonna be VP.
00:47:30.000Vivek already said he's not interested in being VP.
00:47:34.000And I think that conservatives love being distracted.
00:47:36.000I've noticed this about right-wingers, right?
00:47:38.000And I'm a registered Republican, so I could vote in Florida, a closed primary state, for President Trump, but I hate the Republican Party.
00:48:24.000There could be a scenario, there could be a situation where it could be Vivek, or it could be somebody else, or it could be another dark horse.
00:48:30.000We're still very early on here, and even though they say publicly they don't want to be the VP, politicians always say they don't want to be the VP, but then usually get selected to be the VP as well.
00:48:43.000There's a lot of people saying one thing and really mean another thing, and with this crazy election cycle, things are going to get wild and absolutely unpredictable, so anything and everything could happen, and probably will.
00:48:53.000I think the choice for VP is clearly Tucker Carlson.
00:48:56.000We were on the stage with him at TPUSA and everybody was laughing, being like,
00:49:11.000Oh, I was going to say, no, because the Trump campaign, and I'll say this, I do
00:49:15.000not work for President Trump, but I'm pretty sure the Trump campaign is starting
00:49:18.000to get really pissed off with everybody insinuating who's going to be, you know,
00:49:22.000VP, who's going to be hired for what position.
00:49:25.000And they've literally issued three statements now.
00:49:27.000And their last statement said that if people keep doing it, they're going to start naming names and in terms of like calling people out because they're, They're tired of—it's a distraction, right?
00:49:36.000Like, this is done intentionally to distract people from the issues at hand.
00:49:40.000The ballot cases, the weaponization of government, okay?
00:49:43.000The way that they're trying to undermine our elections by keeping Donald Trump tied up in court.
00:49:48.000And so, unless it comes out of Donald Trump's mouth, or an official statement from the campaign, people should stop even talking about who they think is going to be VP.
00:49:56.000But even—so, Tucker's point is, he doesn't want to be VP.
00:51:34.000He can campaign, he can be in Florida, and then he can remotely do what he needs to do.
00:51:39.000But it is shocking to me that at a time where the city is paralyzed by this blizzard, he opted to be in Iowa during their blizzard instead of Florida.
00:51:52.000Have you checked the day, the screenshot?
00:51:54.000On the 9th, he flies, 9th of the 10th, flies to Tallahassee from Iowa to give his state-of-the-state address, stays for a couple hours, declares a state of emergency while he's there, and then immediately gets on a plane back to Iowa.
00:52:09.000So you fly to give a state-of-the-state, and he's getting booed by legislators and lawmakers who are there in attendance because the town of Tallahassee had been affected by the storms, okay?
00:52:20.00049 out of 67 of Florida's counties were affected by the storms and the tornadoes.
00:52:27.000And Ron DeSantis is polling at 14% in Iowa, 5% in New Hampshire.
00:52:31.000They stopped all ad spending in New Hampshire.
00:52:34.000And it's like, come on, you wasted $300 million of everyone's money
00:52:38.000fucking around, pretending like you're going to be president of the United States.
00:53:03.000Like, criticizing any other of these politicians, I will say yes to you.
00:53:08.000When I see Ron DeSantis do what you just described, Laura, fly in, fly out, and he's in a state that is undergoing—he's in Des Moines, there's a blizzard, and he's here instead of his home state.
00:53:18.000I'm just like, look, aside from the fact it was the wrong move, morally, He also just lost a tremendous opportunity to prove he is the good leader by standing with Florida and saying to all the people of Iowa, know this, as your president I will never abandon you like I will not abandon the people of my state today.
00:53:34.000This isn't the first time he's done this stuff.
00:53:37.000He had an opportunity to actually use this as a secondary method of maybe this is how he bows out gracefully by saying, I will not be at the Iowa caucus because my state needs me.
00:58:01.000I'm like, here's this guy that two years ago, just about, not even two years ago, I was hanging out with the Daily Wire crew saying, I think he might be the guy.
00:58:24.000And I'm just, I'm sorry, look, like, we've consistently said... He's below Vivek Ramaswamy, too, in New Hampshire.
00:58:29.000I mean, he's actually in fifth place in New Hampshire.
00:58:31.000Or was until Chris Christie dropped out.
00:58:34.000We've talked about how he's Oh, he's great on policy, he's done a good job in Florida, and there's a lot of things he's done that we can say are good, but this is a hell of a way to end your political career.
00:58:45.000To leave your state during an emergency to campaign where you're losing.
00:58:49.000Well, maybe he's trying to do a retribution arc, because what better way to fail and then try to make your way out of this hole that you dug yourself in?
00:59:00.000Well, the decision that he made To only go with corporate media and to avoid all alt media.
00:59:06.000Basically, as someone said earlier, he should have done exactly what Favek's done.
00:59:11.000If he had an ounce of charisma, if he wasn't so deep on the spectrum, he could actually just engage with all of the people that are like, churning the culture out in this country,
01:01:09.000He will talk to anybody, and it's totally unscripted.
01:01:13.000He will take all comers, people that are detractors, people that don't like him.
01:01:17.000He is just, he is like, it's just purely through the fire.
01:01:20.000He's inviting protesters outside who are protesting his event to come inside and start a dialogue with him.
01:01:25.000Shouts out to individuals like that who are willing to face criticism, who are willing to face controversy, and have hard, difficult conversations.
01:01:32.000That's what wins elections, and that's what DeSantis is not doing.
01:01:46.000Talk to the people who, of course, represent the people the most.
01:01:49.000The independent media, the people on the ground, the people who represent the people more than the corporate media that you keep giving exclusive interviews to.
01:02:10.000Nikki Haley has town halls, and now she doesn't even take town hall questions anymore, whereas Vivek Ramaswamy, I was at his press conference at the Iowa Capitol the other day, and he's giving a talk about no eminent domain for private gain, and this lady from Cambodia starts screeching at the top of her lungs, and he says, how about this?
01:02:29.000I'm going to give you the microphone for 60 seconds and you're going to make your case and then I'm going to tell you why you're wrong.
01:02:35.000And, you know, I've never seen anything like it.
01:02:38.000It's honestly, I'm a Trump supporter and I'm voting for Trump.
01:02:41.000No one's ever going to change my mind, but it is so impressive.
01:02:43.000It is so impressive to see the way that Vivek communicates with opposition.
01:02:47.000Here's the big takeaway too, and I hope people have taken note of this, is that Because Nikki Haley and DeSantis took corporate donors, it made it impossible for them to do the media circuit that Vivek has done, because if they say the things that would be popular in those audiences, their donors are going to be pissed.
01:03:06.000They've basically taken the money so they can buy the ads, and they're just going to have their influencers try and set the narrative as to who they are and how they'll govern.
01:03:14.000And set their policies from the highest interest, who paid for them, just like we saw with Ron DeSantis' flip-flop on Ukraine, which was the first sign that I saw, especially after the Tucker Carlson interview, where he bowed down, he cowed down to the corporate media, but more importantly, he took special interest money and then flipped his own policies, which is something that I don't want to see from my political leader.
01:03:39.000I remember back when Luke was like, Ron's doing a great job in Florida.
01:03:45.000He did an incredible job with the sickness.
01:03:47.000He did an incredible job when it came to people's bodily autonomy.
01:03:51.000He did an incredible job, especially when it came to countering all this nonsense, when the corporate media was telling everyone that there was going to be a genocide in Florida because of his COVID policies.
01:04:00.000Luke, you think that, but honestly, as somebody, you now, from my understanding, you moved to Florida.
01:04:06.000Yeah, so for people who saw it from the outside, it was all a farce, okay?
01:04:10.000Ron DeSantis is a Manchurian candidate, and as we know, Fox News has been grooming him for years now to be this opposition candidate to Donald Trump.
01:04:18.000His COVID record was no different than the record of some of these Democrats.
01:04:25.000I was running for Congress in 2020 in Palm Beach County, and I was not able to knock on doors because there were lockdown orders, and you were threatened with arrest in Palm Beach County for walking on the beach.
01:05:08.000Why are we trying to adjudicate something four years ago when right now Ron DeSantis— Because I was just making the point that he's not a good governor and people need to stop saying that he had a great record on COVID because it's a lie.
01:05:18.000You can read his own executive orders that say, I'm locking down the beaches.
01:05:28.000My point when I was bringing this up about Luke's prior support is that here's a guy who is losing, he's losing badly, and he decided to abandon his state during a state of emergency.
01:05:40.000You can come and tell me that the dude saved a baby that was rushing down a river and he jumped in, and then you tell me that he left his state during a state of emergency to try and win a race he was badly losing, and I'm like, he is a bad leader.
01:06:08.000It's still a major issue because let's just say he comes into office.
01:06:12.000The CIA, Peter Daszak, Echo Health Alliance, all they have to do is restart and do whatever they did again because there isn't A conversation about, hey, I learned my lesson.
01:06:31.000And it's funny when I see journalists like these, these centrist type journalists who don't like Donald Trump actually arguing with people over this.
01:06:39.000And they're putting things like, man, I really don't like Trump.
01:06:41.000But Operation Warp Speed was therapeutics and vaccines by choice.
01:06:46.000It was never forcing people to get medical treatments.
01:06:48.000And when that happened, he came out and said, they shouldn't be doing this.
01:06:51.000And now years later, I'm just like, dude, it's four years later.
01:07:07.000Can I just say, it goes back to the concept of revolution.
01:07:11.000Look, I understand people have to provide for their families, and so I'm not trying to sound like a cold-hearted bitch with what I'm about to say, but everybody has choices.
01:07:20.000And I'm really sick and tired of listening to people say things like, oh, I would have lost my job, or oh, well, you know, I would have been fired.
01:07:26.000You either stand for something or you fall for everything.
01:07:30.000And if more people in this country would have stood up and taken to the streets and fought back against these tyrannical lockdowns, President Trump never forced the vaccine on anyone.
01:07:38.000President Trump never forced extended lockdowns.
01:07:41.000President Trump never forced people to wear masks.
01:07:53.000I still want an acknowledgement of it, and because we don't have an acknowledgement of it, because Trump still believes that Okay, I'll tell you why I'm done with this.
01:08:06.000Because the anti-Trump people say, Trump did the exact same thing Ron DeSantis did, but Trump was wrong when he did it.
01:08:11.000And then the DeSantis people are like, DeSantis did the same thing that Trump did, but DeSantis was right when he- I'm like, dude.
01:08:17.000In the beginning of COVID, in the lockdowns, Donald Trump said 15 days until the spread.
01:08:21.000And we were all, not everybody, but a lot of people were like, okay, well, we don't know what's going on.
01:08:25.000And now that we have hindsight, you have people being like, Ron was correct.
01:09:33.000We did not know what was happening four years ago, and now we are four years on with mass illegal immigration, 10,000 people per day, and you're talking about a vaccine program for four years ago!
01:10:03.000If you don't trust your doctor, find a doctor you trust.
01:10:05.000But I remember when Donald Trump was at a rally and he said, oh, I love the vaccine.
01:10:09.000They booed him and he goes, yes, but it's your choice.
01:10:12.000I don't understand why you're conflating Donald Trump saying, I invested in medical research, you can choose it, and now you're like, it's Trump's fault.
01:10:20.000He allowed the American people to be guinea pigs.
01:10:22.000He allowed Big Pharma to get away and never be held responsible for the crimes they committed against the American people.
01:10:27.000There are so many people that were injured, there were so many people that were hurt, and they deserve justice, and they deserve to be heard.
01:10:46.000My point is that people need to stop bitching about it because the reality is you decide what goes inside your own body and nobody put a gun to your head and said they're going to kill you if you don't take this vaccine.
01:11:01.000If more people would have stood up, again, I really firmly believe it's about personal accountability.
01:11:24.000And I want to stress, too, I do think it's important that we talk about these things because, holy crap, I can't believe everything that happened.
01:11:31.000That being said, this debate comes down to Trump derangement syndrome and DeSantis derangement syndrome.
01:11:38.000And I'm just like, where are we today?
01:11:40.000Where we are today is we are in Iowa during a massive blizzard.
01:11:44.000We have questions about what the plans are for the future of this country.
01:12:35.000But what does matter is if Trump, who is the favorite, what he's going to do moving forward, which is why I'm not trying to litigate the past.
01:12:42.000I'm trying to prosecute those responsible for it.
01:12:45.000I think that if you expect us to have a free country moving forward, you absolutely have to investigate the people that are responsible for the greatest calamity in my lifetime, if not human history.
01:12:56.000We're talking about tens of millions of lost lives.
01:13:01.000And I don't think Donald Trump is going to.
01:13:02.000He's said it numerous times, and if you, you know, if you study Donald Trump like I have, and you look at some of his previous statements from over the years, Donald Trump is all about retribution and revenge.
01:14:11.000I love seeing the libertarians be like, under Trump, no new wars.
01:14:15.000Under Biden, three new wars already with US involvement.
01:14:19.000Not to mention the reignition of Middle Eastern conflict that Biden has sent people into.
01:14:24.000And now I'm sitting here giving fire emojis to Rashida Tlaib when she called out Biden for his unconstitutional bombing of Yemen without congressional approval.
01:14:33.000And I'm like, Rashida is completely correct.
01:15:39.000In terms of foreign policy, what I will say is, whether or not Trump gets retribution does not change the fact that he has my vote.
01:15:48.000I'm not going to vote for Ron DeSantis, that's laughable.
01:15:50.000Nikki Haley is offensive to suggest I would vote for her.
01:15:53.000Vivek Ramaswamy I would vote for in the instance Trump was not available.
01:15:56.000Do you think that people don't criticize Trump's campaigning this time around, like we do with Ron and Nikki and Vivek?
01:16:03.000I mean, we give Vivek a lot of positive criticism, but we criticize it.
01:16:06.000Is it because he's the incumbent, because Trump is the incumbent?
01:16:09.000I had a very interesting conversation with Mike Cernovich over lunch after the show.
01:16:15.000And I you know it's going to be it's going to be hard to some ice the conversation that we had here but we essentially said hey holden you know even our guys feet to the fire is absolutely important because it actually implements policies that that puts us in the right direction so I think we do need to be critical of anything and everyone that's even in our own party.
01:16:35.000Because then we could help kind of align this country to move forward in a way where there's no future mistakes made.
01:16:40.000And I think that's critically important.
01:16:42.000Constructive criticism is really important.
01:16:44.000The facts do matter about this particular case.
01:17:37.000Vivek has already said, this is what I was talking about before about why waste time talking about things that we already know are not going to be reality.
01:17:48.000next best option. I'm supporting President Trump and I'm voting for Trump.
01:17:52.000I don't care what happens in 2024. I will write President Trump's name in
01:17:56.000Sharpie across the ballot even if they take him off the ballot. I know you will.
01:17:59.000But I will just say with Vivek, he already has said publicly that he
01:18:04.000doesn't want to be VP. But that doesn't mean that he won't take it.
01:18:07.000Yeah, but politicians say that all the time.
01:18:08.000And then they usually sometimes become VP.
01:18:10.000It's like if you're running a race, you don't say, I'm running to get the silver medal.
01:18:13.000You say, I'm going to get gold, I'm going to get gold.
01:18:15.000I think it'd be great to see Vivek in some type of cabinet position in President Trump's White House.
01:18:20.000And I think that, you know, aside from maybe Kerry Lake, I don't know of anybody else in the Republican Party who is as effective as a communicator and is as solid on the issues as Vivek Ramaswamy.
01:18:32.000You have Trump, you have Vivek Ramaswamy, and you have Kerry Lake.
01:18:56.000Because the Trump base has an opportunity to give Donald Trump his second term that they wanted to see, and they like Vivek, But they're like, Vivek, you have a lot of time in front of you.
01:19:06.000You have a whole career in front of you.
01:19:12.000It was the Trump-DeSantis ticket everyone was excited for, and then Ron basically was like, well, I'm gonna come out and just attack Trump and say he was bad at everything.
01:19:24.000He appointed his own Secretary of State, a guy by the name of Cord Bird, so that Cord Bird could then secretly and quietly change the political handbook in Florida.
01:19:35.000It used to be illegal in the state of Florida for the transfer of funds between a state PAC to a federal PAC.
01:19:40.000He appointed and hand-selected his Secretary of State, this guy Cordbird, so that he could change the law.
01:19:46.000Then that allowed for Ron DeSantis, after raising $200 million when he ran for the second term as governor of Florida, to transfer the remaining $85 million over to the Never Back Down Super PAC.
01:19:57.000And then he ran a shadow presidential campaign after he got a book deal from Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, Harper Collins, and, you know, he essentially now is an absentee governor and he got the Florida legislature to change the law.
01:20:13.000We used to have, we have this law in Florida called Resign to Run, it still exists actually, where you had to resign if you wanted to run for another position.
01:20:20.000And so he had the law changed so that it doesn't apply if you want to run for president.
01:20:59.000I am so offended as a Florida taxpayer that I have paid for this asshole to campaign on taxpayer dime while he has divided the Republican Party and attacked the best president.
01:21:10.000This isn't just about, oh, his career's over.
01:21:12.000I am not going to be happy until Governor Ron DeSantis is literally working at a pizza shop.
01:21:37.000There are serious questions about the DeSantis campaign hiring Will Chamberlain, his wife Jordan, who are friends of ours, and then when they left the campaign, got hired by his governor's office despite working in the D.C.
01:21:53.000It seems very much like, and this is why Axios wrote it, the campaign said, we're laying people off, laid off campaign staff, and then said, we're going to keep you doing the same work, but pay you through the governor's office.
01:22:10.000Cool-off periods, where you have to wait, technically speaking, 120 days if you want to transfer between a campaign and a PAC.
01:22:17.000And if you notice, if you look at the records, so many of Ron DeSantis' official campaign staff were then working for the PAC, never back down.
01:22:24.000This weekend, he's—do you know that Ron DeSantis on Saturday is flying in his entire gubernatorial office to come campaign for him?
01:22:55.000Ron DeSantis is tied with Vivek in the prediction markets.
01:22:59.000Nikki Haley is beating him by more than double.
01:23:03.000And it's not polls, it's prediction markets, which I think in some ways you could argue are better than polls or just different from polls.
01:23:09.000But I think it's fair to say, I think the criticism is important.
01:23:14.000And at this point, He should drop out.
01:23:22.000He's already stopped spending in New Hampshire.
01:23:24.000He's polling at 5% and if you look at the breakdown, I actually tweeted a photo of this the other day, if you look at the breakdown of political ad spending, Ron DeSantis has effectively ended all ad spending in New Hampshire, which is a sign that he's going to drop out.
01:23:37.000Let me make a plea, not really to the voters so much as to the candidates.
01:23:42.000We're sitting in Vivek's back room right now.
01:24:03.000You have this asshole Mike who's the new whatever speaker who's just such a bum.
01:24:09.000There's just no seriousness with which people are approaching politics.
01:24:13.000In fact, the only reason I got involved in podcasting and being a political commentator Was in 2020, because I realized it was so dire that I wouldn't have a nation that I could raise my children in peacefully.
01:25:14.000You need someone who's extraordinarily serious about either defending the dollar or at least dealing with the national debt in a way that's very serious.
01:25:23.000We cannot continue to have troops sitting in Syria and Iraq and there's most likely there's troops also in Israel that are helping the attacks on Gaza.
01:25:32.000We need to stop having all of our just these sitting ducks that could be Casa's belly for World War III all over the Middle East.
01:25:40.000We're also burning hundreds of billions of dollars in Ukraine But that's not just all Donald Trump.
01:25:49.000You see, like, look, you just said it yourself.
01:25:51.000I wasn't blaming Trump for any of this.
01:25:52.000Mike Johnson, we need to hold the Republican Party accountable.
01:25:56.000The Republican Party has proven itself to be completely ineffective and incompetent unless Donald Trump is leading at the top of the ticket, okay?
01:26:15.000And I would prefer that we never call Mike Johnson MAGA Mike, because there's nothing MAGA about this guy.
01:26:21.000You know, we have a Speaker of the House—after we had a motion to vacate for Kevin McCarthy, we got Mike Johnson, who did the same exact thing.
01:26:35.000We don't have any single appropriations bills.
01:26:38.000We have a 1.6 trillion dollar budget that the Republicans are just like, well, whatever, I guess.
01:26:42.000I guess we're just gonna, you know, sign off on a 1.6 trillion dollars, an open border, no plan to militarize or secure our border, more money going to Ukraine.
01:26:51.000It's like, we might as well just have a freaking Democrat Speaker of the House at this point in time, because the Republicans don't do shit.
01:26:56.000This is the point I'm trying to make is that to the American people, I just want to make sure that they understand your representatives don't care at all about you and certainly not your children.
01:27:05.000They are setting you up to fail on a national scale in a global depression and a potential world war.
01:27:12.000And we're just like talking about it as opposed to being like, feel what I'm saying right now.
01:27:59.000Vivek says a lot of really, really great things.
01:28:01.000We like his ideas, we like his policies, FBI, ETF, etc, etc.
01:28:04.000Donald Trump has decades upon decades of international business relations, and that experience he used to, one, it wasn't just no new wars, it was the withdrawal of our forces from any of these countries, it was getting NATO to pay their fair share, it was the Abraham Accords, negotiating with North Korea, and other quote-unquote dictators that the media didn't like.
01:28:30.000And that's a big deal, having a North Korean, the dictator of North Korea loving our president.
01:28:34.000But you know what's an even bigger deal?
01:28:36.000Is having a president that is actually willing to go after the three-letter agencies in this country that are totally undermining every constitutional protection that we have.
01:28:44.000I mean, if you have a weaponized federal police force, which is what the FBI is, And then you have the ATF and the DEA and all these unconstitutional, illegal, immoral institutions that are willing to just prosecute political dissidents all across the board for years and they have nothing to fear.
01:29:00.000They have nothing to fear because they are ultimately able to threaten our elected representatives on top of everything else.
01:29:51.000He's a billionaire, could be living a very glamorous lifestyle, and he ran for the first time.
01:29:56.000He wins, and I think that You know, there's—I'm not saying that President Trump's naive, but I think that when you win and you're thrown into this and you're like, wow, I really won and I'm president of the United States now, you're going to kind of trust and think that the people in the Republican Party are going to have your back.
01:30:12.000And what we all realized, I think we all kind of—we didn't really— I mean, we always knew there was a uniparty, but it was really accelerated when Donald Trump was in the White House because we got to see firsthand, wow, the Republicans are not just as evil as the Democrats.
01:30:25.000I think they're even worse than the Democrats.
01:30:27.000And they surrounded Donald Trump and they sabotaged him.
01:31:05.000You want the President of the United States to be a narcissist, because you need to be the most powerful person in the world.
01:31:13.000I don't think there's anything wrong with being a narcissist, so I'm not attacking Trump when I say he has a narcissistic personality.
01:31:20.000But sometimes when you have that type of personality, you don't want to necessarily admit, yeah, this person probably shouldn't have surrounded me because they screwed me and I was the person that appointed them.
01:31:32.000There is no one more right or die on earth than you for joining us.
01:31:37.000He needs people around him that tell him when he's wrong and people that disagree with him that tell him why they disagree.

01:32:39.000they ask me every day, Tim, make sure you shout it out because we want more people to
01:32:41.000join so they can hang out with us and we can build culture.
01:33:26.000Yeah, I got an interesting perspective because being here I'm like, oh Vivek's got this in the bag.
01:33:31.000Like when you feel the energy of the people around you, and that's like a confirmation bias.
01:33:34.000So it's like when you're, the people you're surrounded by can definitely make you think things are going your way.
01:33:40.000And I know that once I pull out of this environment, it's like, dude, Trump was pulling at 78% on that predictive market.
01:33:46.000Well, that's- so that's the- those are predictions based on, uh, how people feel about things, and it's like, ask the audience and who wants to be a millionaire.
01:34:36.000Donald Trump has the largest crowds, and then it's Vivek.
01:34:39.000I think he's going to come in second, and then you're going to see Nikki and DeSantis battle it out for third and fourth.
01:34:45.000The real Raul Camacho says, what if, as an electoral strategy, the DOJ arrests enough J6 protesters from key battleground states to depress the GOP vote in November?
01:34:54.000How can we track this if it indeed starts happening?
01:34:57.000There are 1,700 or so convictions, and they've promised to do thousands more, but even if they got to around 10,000 people, The issue would have to be, and it's a good point, because we're not concerned about... This strategy doesn't play well nationally.
01:35:12.000I think we're concerned about the J6ers generally, but the concern in the election would be if he goes to like Ohio and arrests 5,000 people.
01:35:19.000Then all of a sudden it's like, okay, hold on there a minute.
01:35:21.000Now he's arresting likely people who could vote against him.
01:35:54.000I don't think it'll play as big of a role, but we should definitely pay attention.
01:35:57.000Did you say there have been over 1,000 convictions?
01:36:00.000I read from Time Magazine, this was last year I guess, that there were over 1,000 people been arrested, only 400 of them had been convicted at that point.
01:36:12.000And didn't Matthew Graves just the other day say that now they're going to start arresting people that didn't just go inside but were in the vicinity?
01:36:18.000So now you can be arrested and jailed over J6 if you showed up.
01:36:48.000There are some people who are getting charged several years later.
01:36:52.000And so what's happening is, interestingly, they're saying, like, there's a question of the statute of limitations for some of these crimes.
01:36:58.000So now they're trying other crimes that have longer statutes of limitation.
01:37:02.000I was talking to someone... I'll put it this way.
01:37:07.000If you were there for any reason, LawyerUp.
01:37:24.000But see, what I would like to see from Trump is the congressional representatives that withheld exculpatory evidence on behalf of his supporters.
01:37:34.000Why aren't we talking about prosecuting these people?
01:38:11.000And people who are now governing previous third world nations are calling out our country for holding political prisoners and having egregious human rights violations.
01:38:20.000So we can't really be calling ourselves the exporters of democracy or the world's police or the world's moral authority because, look, we're no better.
01:38:29.000I think that we really are a third world country now.
01:38:31.000I don't know if you would agree, but we don't have free speech.
01:39:25.000I say sedition because it's generalized.
01:39:28.000But there is a good point to be made that it's already been reported potential terrorists, people, actually, no, outright people on the terror watch list have come through the southern border with the bombing.
01:39:38.000So we got news breaking during the show, actually, that the US and UK engaged in additional airstrikes in Yemen.
01:39:45.000There's video of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis protesting and calling out the United States.
01:39:54.000You are very likely to see people try to come in to hurt this country through this insecure border.
01:40:14.000And I love it when the people in the chat are like, Tim thinks he's right.
01:40:15.000If I'm arguing a point that I think I'm right on, of course I think I'm right about that.
01:40:18.000But I think I'm wrong about a bunch of things.
01:40:20.000And so I don't know what happens next.
01:40:22.000But I gotta tell ya, shout out to Dave Smith, when he came on the show and he pointed this out to me and he said, shout out to you for something you said on the Joe Rogan podcast, that if they kept up this kind of censorship and manipulation, this country's headed towards civil war.
01:40:35.000Now we have the National Guard, the Texas National Guard deployed, armed, to block federal agents from continuing their traffic operation trafficking operation.
01:40:46.000My fear is, we enter the point where, it's exactly what I said, National Guard is enforcing the law as per their orders, federal law enforcement enforces the law as per their orders, and you get a guy in military gear, a federal agent walks up and says, I got orders to clear all you guys out of here.
01:41:03.000Let's say a federal truck pulls up at APC, guys jump out in body armor and weapons, and they say, CBP, this is our jurisdiction, it's a federal border, back the F up now.
01:41:12.000And the Texas state guys say, no, We have governor's orders and we don't answer to you.
01:41:37.000I go back eight years when Donald Trump is running and I say to you, Eight years from now, Texas National Guard will be armed and deployed to the southern border to stop federal agents who are facilitating human smuggling.
01:42:04.000Who would have ever thought that federal officials would be so obviously going against, like, not just the will of the nation, but also their directives, their responsibilities in office, that the states would have to do this.
01:42:33.000Like, if there's one responsibility for a state governor, it's to prevent invasion.
01:42:38.000And if you have hundreds of thousands that are coming across your border every month, you can't describe it as anything other than an invasion.
01:43:26.000And if you're like, if we storm the border armed, they'll mow us down with their more powerful weapons.
01:43:31.000If we manipulate the psyche of the American people into saying, help, help, we're but harmless refugees, we can storm in, and that's why you don't come with weapons.
01:43:40.000Now they can't do anything to stop you.
01:43:43.000That's why a lot of them are coming with a weapon in their mind, right, the ideology.
01:43:47.000So look at the jihadists, right, that are coming across.
01:43:49.000You don't necessarily need to have a physical weapon, right, to be armed.
01:43:53.000A lot of them are armed with a toxic ideology, a backward ideology.
01:43:58.000And that's what They're trying to push in our country and push all around the world.
01:44:01.000Again, I will reiterate once again, this is why we need President Donald Trump back in the White House.
01:44:05.000And as you said earlier, Tim, you're worried that people from Yemen are going to try to retaliate now against the United States by coming here.
01:44:48.000The executive branch, you're the commander-in-chief, you're in charge of the armed forces and all its branches, and you oversee law enforcement at the federal level, which means executive order could be like this.
01:44:57.000From now on, DEA agents do not raid dispensaries across the country.
01:45:06.000That is the head of law enforcement saying, we're not going to deal with that, we're going to prioritize something else.
01:45:12.000However, to actually enforce a law, you need legislature to determine it.
01:45:18.000So the general idea of an executive order is fine, except what's happening now is things like Barack Obama doing amnesty through executive order, and that's where we're at.
01:45:26.000You get Andrew Cuomo, for instance, in New York, executive order, you can't go to church anymore.
01:45:31.000And when they sue and say that violates the First Amendment, he goes, okay, I'll take it down.
01:45:34.000Now I'm going to make another one saying the exact same thing.
01:45:42.000And the general concept is fine, but we've got too much corruption.
01:45:45.000I got to give one big, big credit to Donald Trump, even though he did it in the last year of his presidency, and I wish he had done it sooner.
01:45:51.000His executive order to remove Barack Obama's executive order, which mandated that there be diversity, equity and inclusion departments in every federal agency in this nation.
01:46:03.000Of course, Joe Biden undid it day one of his presidency, but I hope that Trump is preparing to remove that once again.
01:46:10.000He said during his speech in Iowa the other day, I mean he's given many speeches in Iowa, but this last weekend I was there he said that we're going to restore merit in our country and he was emphasizing the fact that we need to start hiring people that are qualified for their positions as opposed to giving people positions based off the color of their skin or their sexual orientation.
01:47:27.000And that's one of the reasons why our country is being invaded right now, because there's been a bastardization and a reinterpretation of what it means to be a natural-born citizen.
01:47:35.000And people want to bend the rules and give citizenship to people who are anchor babies.
01:47:50.000We need to have a serious conversation going forward in this country.
01:47:53.000We have not enforced our laws, or our lawmakers have not enforced the laws, and as a result, now we have been overrun by migrants who are replacing the actual natural-born populations of the United States of America with themselves.
01:48:09.000These people aren't coming and having 10 kids.
01:48:11.000According to United States v. Wong Kim Ark, Supreme Court ruling, you are a natural-born citizen if you were born on U.S.
01:48:18.000soil regardless of your parents' citizenship status.
01:49:01.000In living in a city in the late 1700s, had a kid, they did not believe that kid was a citizen.
01:49:07.000They're like, you're Native American, you're not a citizen of our country.
01:49:11.000And it changed after the 40th Amendment, after the Civil War, then the Supreme Court ruling.
01:49:15.000These things are entirely interpretable.
01:49:17.000But I would say this, I don't think someone like Michael should be deported.
01:49:21.000Someone who was born here, grew up here, loves this country, served this country, is exactly the kind of person we need.
01:49:25.000And I think the concern I have, I'm not anti-immigration.
01:49:29.000I would love I don't think he should be deported either, for the record, because I don't want to be accused of not answering his question.
01:49:36.000I'm talking about the people that are coming across our border.
01:49:39.000You know, a lot of people plan their journeys to America with their pregnancy.
01:49:45.000They say, okay, I'm going to get pregnant, and then I'm going to make my journey across the border, and then I'm going to give birth, and then they're going to make me stay, because what are they going to do?
01:50:26.000I love this meme where it's like some socialist Antifa person goes to Venezuela as an exchange program.
01:50:31.000The people desperate to flee this country who want to be American so desperately, we'll take them and the American leftist commies can go to Venezuela and then we're better off.
01:51:58.000Now there's the alternative, which is illegal immigration, where I walk up, grab the phone and run.
01:52:04.000Coming into this country illegally may be because it's for its freedom and prosperity, but you're basically saying you're taking it from the community by force.
01:52:11.000Now, as for you, 467 Sprite, I got nothing against you.
01:52:20.000If your parents assimilated and really did believe in it, it's a good thing.
01:52:23.000I still would say, It's fine to say there's a difference between someone who comes here illegally for Buffalo Wild Wings, which is, I'm not making that up, an illegal immigrant was interviewed and said, I want B-dubs, and someone saying America is the shining city on the hill who believe in civil rights and freedoms and I will do anything to get there.
01:52:40.000There's a difference between those people, and I can respect that, but I would simply say, Look, man, if you come here illegally, you are not respectfully asking us to bring you into the fold.
01:52:52.000You are insulting and disrespecting us.
01:52:54.000Well, I don't totally disagree, but I will say this.
01:52:58.000If it comes down to a bunch of Cubans that are fleeing communism, I don't care.
01:53:05.000Yes, the first foot that they make on this soil will be illegal, but I still think that's a net benefit to this country because these are people that are really sincerely—to the point that they're willing to risk their lives.
01:53:17.000That's how much they oppose communism.
01:53:37.000They're going to need somebody to support them.
01:53:40.000I mean, look, you can have this humanitarian spirit and want to help people and say, wow, they're fleeing communism, but who's going to be paying their bills?
01:53:49.000I totally disagree with this because if we're gonna start going down that path, I would greatly prefer to see Ivy League college graduates deported and bring in Cubans.
01:54:00.000Like honestly, the country would be way better off if every Ivy League Well, but it's not really true.
01:54:06.000to China and we were just bringing in people from communist states.
01:54:35.000I'm like, this is a program I can get behind.
01:54:37.000We create a moon base in a Mars colony, and we're like, we are going to have you guys colonize the moon, then Mars, and I'll tell you why.
01:54:43.000It is not because I want to laugh, haha, we're gonna blast them off the moon.
01:54:46.000I think roughing it in a little hardship will toughen them up, give them a good understanding of what it means to be responsible for yourself.
01:54:53.000But also, they may actually agree to it because it's an honor to be the first human to colonize Mars.
01:54:57.000This is a problem with all this illegal immigration is it's turning people off from accepting actual refugees.
01:55:02.000People that are literally fleeing their own demise and death from tyranny.
01:55:30.000Not a real refugee is a guy who comes from Africa and pays three grand to fly to South America, takes a bus all the way through Mexico, and then comes to our border.
01:55:59.000I would rather take political refugees in America as opposed to, from the Western world, as opposed to these third-world migrants who are saying that they're... They don't exist?
01:56:12.000There's people going to jail in Canada for misgendering people.
01:56:15.000I'm sorry, but that to me is, that's more of, I would consider somebody like that to be more of a refugee in need of asylum than some third world migrant who just wants to come move to the United States of America.
01:56:29.000There is no question when Mexico offered asylum to all these people in the caravan, there's a video of them asking, how many of you want to stay here, get amnesty in Mexico?
01:57:23.000This is what deeply offended me, because I go to Mexico City, and I'm like, it's a beautiful, massive city, and they got B-dubs all over the place.
01:57:29.000Then I watch, I see this video of them saying, no, we won't stay.
01:57:33.000A journalist interviews one of the migrants saying, why are you coming to America?
01:57:37.000And he said, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings.
01:57:39.000And I'm like, bro, they got that in Mexico.
01:57:43.000It's amazing to me that you go to Tijuana, you go to Mexico City, and it's a beautiful place with great people, and they actually have cheaper healthcare.
01:57:50.000These people who are coming through, they are lying to our faces that they're refugees.
01:57:54.000So if you're from Syria, if you're from Afghanistan, if you're from Iraq, and you were forced out of your country due to conflict, guess what?
01:58:02.000Lebanon's right there waiting for you.
01:58:04.000I knew, I met people I talked to two refugees from Syria.
01:58:08.000One of them went to Romania, one went to Turkey.
01:58:52.000You're living in a big mansion, and you're paying $100 a month to sleep under the stairs in the basement, and some dude upstairs is paying $500 a month for a nice one-bedroom, and you're like, I'd rather live up there.
01:59:04.000It's comfortable, there's a TV, so you kick the door in and you say, I'm staying here, do something about it.
01:59:09.000They're fleeing the shadows in the closet.
01:59:11.000Well, this is why you can't have policies that make it at all possible for people to just come here with their hands out.
01:59:17.000If you have that, You're going to create this crisis and the Biden administration and many administrations prior have continued this process and it has to be stopped.
01:59:25.000That's why we need to ban birthright citizenship.
01:59:28.000Every single GOP candidate for president supports banning birthright citizenship except Nikki Haley.
01:59:33.000And the only reason why she doesn't support it is because that would mean that she wouldn't be a citizen because she herself is a birthright citizen, and she's not qualified to be president.
01:59:44.000President Trump even shared the article the other day that I wrote that was repurposed on Gateway Pundit explaining this.
01:59:49.000So, you know, we can't have her, not just for her foreign policy, but also because Nikki Haley herself, because she was granted birthright citizenship, she has sympathy for these people that want to come and criminally invade our country and take over and, you know, just completely Let's get that intro to Super Chats different than the government propaganda.
02:00:47.000That one of the components of it, considering it's like a 20-something-year-old video game, spoiler alerts, the character is mind-controlled.
02:00:54.000Whenever he's asked, would you kindly do something, he is compelled to do it.
02:00:58.000So the bad guy would, if someone said, do a backflip, he'd be like, what?
02:01:00.000But if he said, would you kindly do a backflip, he has to do it.
02:01:02.000So, would you kindly smash that like button?
