The Trump administration accidentally reveals its war plans to the world, and a bunch of other crazy things. Plus, a new story about a group of conservative influencers who get paid to push a political message, and an FBI task force formed to catch saboteurs.
00:01:03.000This story may be, on its face, embarrassing for the Trump administration in that they accidentally created a group chat to discuss bombing Yemen and included a liberal Russia, Russia, Russia journalist.
00:01:16.000Then there's the other story, and that's they intentionally created the group chat with a script that took two days to write, and they wanted him to espouse their narrative to the world.
00:01:30.000Look, I don't know exactly, but I think there's a strong possibility that these journalists are dumb as a box of rocks.
00:01:36.000And the Trump administration, should they have actually included him, did it intentionally so that he would report their words behind the scenes, which I got to be honest, makes him look kind of good.
00:01:48.000J.D. Vance saying, we can't bomb Yemen.
00:02:34.000We got a bunch of other stories, my friends.
00:02:35.000A task force has been formed by the FBI to go after the swatters and the Tesla terrorists.
00:02:43.000Incendiary devices were found at an Austin, Texas Tesla dealership.
00:02:47.000And then, oh boy, I am really excited for the story, SodaGate.
00:02:51.000A bunch of conservative influencers were pushing a political message for money, it would seem.
00:02:56.000From a company that pays people to push these political messages called Influencible.
00:03:01.000And they were arguing that it is government overreach to ban welfare recipients from buying soda.
00:03:08.000Well, the government overreaches and the government took them out of my pocket and gave it to someone else for whatever reason, let alone buying soda.
00:03:13.000But come on, are we going to let welfare recipients take public funds to buy soda in the first place?
00:04:04.000Ignoring your tax troubles is the worst thing you can do.
00:04:07.000April 15th marks another tax year that has passed you by.
00:04:11.000Getting ahead of this is a smart move, but never, never contact the IRS alone.
00:04:15.000Let the experts at Tax Network USA handle it for you.
00:04:18.000Why? Because not all tax resolution companies are the same.

00:04:39.000Talk with one of their strategists today.
00:08:12.000On Tuesday, March 11th, I received a connection request for a signal from a user identified as Michael Waltz.
00:08:17.000Signal is an open source encrypted messaging service popular with journalists, we understand.
00:08:21.000I assume that the Michael Waltz in question was Trump's national security advisor.
00:08:24.000I did not assume, however, the request is from the actual Michael Waltz.
00:08:28.000I met him in the past, and though I didn't find it particularly strange that he might be reaching out to me, I did think it's somewhat unusual given the Trump admin's contentious relationship with journalists.
00:08:37.000Two days later, Thursday, 4.28 p.m., I received a notice that I was to be included in a signal chat group called Houthi PC Small Group.
00:08:46.000Message to the group from Michael Waltra as follows.
00:08:49.000Team establishing a principals group for coordination on Houthis, particularly for the next 72 hours.
00:08:54.000My deputy Alex Wong is pulling together a Tiger team at deputies agency chief of staff level, following up from the meeting in the sit room this morning for action items, and I will be sending that out later this evening.
00:09:05.000The message included, please provide the best staff POC from your team for us to coordinate over the next couple of days in the weekend.
00:09:12.000The term Principles Committee generally refers to the group of the senior most national security officials, including the Secretary of Defense, State, and the Treasury, as well as the Director of the CIA.
00:09:20.000Should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway, I have never been invited to the White House Principles Committee meeting, and that many of the years of my reporting on national security matters, I had never heard of one being convened over a commercial messaging app.
00:09:29.000At this point, guy, two hours before the attack, And being texted the stuff that did not occur to you, that it's fake?
00:09:38.000I guess he says it did, but he still publishes the story, believing it to be real.
00:10:13.000There is a real risk the public doesn't understand this or why it's necessary.
00:10:17.000The strongest reason to do this is, as POTUS said, to send a message.
00:10:22.000The van scout then goes on to make a noteworthy statement, considering that the vice president has not deviated publicly from Trump's position.
00:10:27.000I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now.
00:10:32.000There's a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices.
00:10:35.000I'm willing to support the consensus of the team and keep those concerns to myself, but there's a strong argument for delaying this a month, doing the messaging work on why this matters, seeing where the economy is, etc.
00:10:45.000A person identified as Joe Kent wrote, there's nothing time-sensitive driving the timeline.
00:10:50.000We'll have the exact same options in a month.
00:10:56.000Pete Hegseth says, VP, I understand your concerns and fully support you raising with POTUS important considerations, most of which are tough to know how they play out.
00:11:04.000I think the messaging is going to be tough no matter what.
00:11:06.000Nobody knows who the Houthis are, which is why we would need to stay focused on Biden failed and Iran funded.
00:11:13.000He goes on to say more and more about this.
00:11:15.000So they're going to mention that a spokesperson says that it appears to be a legitimate conversation, right?
00:11:23.000All right, let me just give you my quick assessment before we jump into the conversation.
00:11:25.000Otherwise, I'm going to read for 20 years all of these messages.
00:11:28.000Here you have the vice president, seemingly, talking with the Department of Defense, seemingly, saying, what do we do?
00:11:46.000Well, I would include a journalist in the text message and then create scripted crap to be like, the Houthis are bad because the moron's going to be like, whoa, they texted me.
00:12:30.000I don't have any sense as to whether or not it is or isn't an accident.
00:12:34.000The idea you laid out is completely plausible.
00:12:38.000It's also completely plausible that, you know, someone had that dude's name in his phone and they put by the initials and they put the wrong initials in.
00:13:18.000It's like, as I heard it, the president was clear, green light, but we soon make it clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.
00:13:23.000We also need to figure out how to enforce such a requirement.
00:13:26.000E.g., if Europe doesn't renumerate, then what?
00:13:28.000If the U.S. successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost, there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return.
00:13:34.000Everybody listening, I'm going to go ahead and say I believe strongly that this was intended to trick the journalist into publishing this message.
00:13:54.000But I'm willing to bet that considering the meetings I've been in and how slow everything is, bro, I can't install chicken wire in an hour.
00:14:05.000I can't install chicken wire in one hour.
00:14:09.000I've got to make, like, three phone calls and then complain why it's not getting done.
00:14:13.000And you think the government is just like, let's have a debate real quick over whether or not I'm going to press the button and fire the missiles from our destroyers off the coast of Yemen.
00:14:23.000DoD Rabbit Response has a clip of Hegseth on Fox News saying that you're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist.
00:14:32.000So, I mean, look, they're denying that it's true.
00:14:41.000What if some morbidly obese guy covered in Cheeto dust was sitting in his living room watching Fox News, eating Flamin' Hots, because they're awesome, by the way, and then decided to text this guy and hoax him, and he believed it.
00:15:52.000The guy eating Cheetos on the couch has duped this journalist with his buddies.
00:15:56.000One would be super metal if that was the case.
00:16:00.000The second theory is that this is some sort of concocted, not real, either AI or staffers pretending to have a high-level policy conversation with this journalist in a chat to...
00:16:17.000And then the third one is that it's real.
00:16:20.000You mentioned, if you don't show me the goods, I'm not going to believe it.
00:16:24.000So this is about a military operation that has already happened.
00:16:28.000And so if that is the case, lawyers...
00:16:31.000The Atlantic has an army of lawyers to make sure that they can continue to destroy regular American people's lives on a regular basis and win in the courts.
00:16:41.000They should be able to have some sort of review to redact or include important information, but the screenshots that they include are just of this, what did they say?
00:16:52.000Deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials.
00:16:55.000They could have had some sort of legal redaction, right?
00:16:58.000He said that they were waiting, or he didn't, they didn't, you know, produce this, they didn't release this until after the attack or whatever it happened, right?
00:17:33.000Why is the vice president texting the secretary of defense his opinion on a strike they're prepared to carry out in a couple of hours?
00:17:40.000Yeah. Unless their real consideration was Trump was the anti-war president who said we can't bomb these countries and now we're planning on doing it.
00:17:49.000How do we get this narrative out there?
00:17:51.000How about, like, if we release a statement, no one's going to buy it.
00:17:54.000But it's that meme where the Babylon Bee wrote that story.
00:18:00.000Ingenious move, Donald Trump comes out in support of impeachment, forcing Democrats to oppose.
00:18:09.000And it was a deep and thoughtful conversation about the collateral damage potentials, threats to our troops, the purpose behind the strike, and who the Houthis are.
00:18:18.000And now the American people's heard it all.
00:18:20.000Great. And all these liberals are laughing, being like, they're so dumb.
00:18:35.000So, like, I think one area where President Trump and his administration has received a lot of pressure is on the more restraint-oriented side of the right so far with people like Mike Waltz being national security advisor.
00:18:49.000And so they go through with strikes on Houthis, and that has been a major issue for the restraint-oriented right.
00:18:56.000Like, why are we involved in Yemen at all?
00:18:58.000And so if you want to shore up that side of your coalition, you put something out there like—you could put something out there like this that says, Hey, that Vice President J.D.
00:19:10.000Vance, who the restraint community liked a lot, is advocating behind the scenes for the restraint position, and that is being received kindly by people like— John Ratcliffe by people like, oh, yeah, and Joe Kent's inclusion, that was interesting, too.
00:19:27.000Joe Kent was a big figure in this community when he didn't win his congressional runs.
00:19:40.000in there, Joe Kent in there in this decision-making process, even when everyone seems kind of leagues higher than his administration position, and Hegseth, who has Some credibility problems with the restraint community coming in and saying, I totally get where you're coming from, JD.
00:19:59.000It's a coalition play for the own administration because there was a New York Times piece, maybe it was a week ago, about how people inside the administration are apparently calling the National Security Council the neoconservative security council.
00:20:16.000I'm not saying anything definitive, but that could be a motive.
00:20:18.000They didn't give us strong messaging on the strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, and there was a backlash against it with a lot of people on the right saying bad.
00:20:24.000Now, all of a sudden, this guy leaks a message where you look at it and you're like, oh, I understand their justification.
00:20:30.000They're concerned about trade through Europe.
00:21:18.000Hey, there's always a possibility it was an accident, and they're bumbling morons.
00:21:22.000Speaking of influence, though, let's jump to this next story.
00:21:26.000From Li Fang, the sugary soda industry's covert influencer campaign falls apart.
00:21:32.000My friends, grifters are about, and it's going to get weird.
00:21:37.000So, the long story short of this is that a handful of conservative influencers appear to have been paid to promote sugary beverages for welfare recipients.
00:21:49.000What a ridiculously weird thing to get paid to promote.
00:21:52.000But what you end up learning as you dig through the story is that there is a conservative leaning.
00:21:57.000It's a company that has reportedly been associated with large conservative influencer spheres of influence.
00:22:27.000But when you're espousing political messages, now we got ourselves a problem because you're getting paid to be political.
00:22:33.000The bigger picture is, regardless of whether you're being paid to promote movies or video games or otherwise, you are legally required to disclose this.
00:22:45.000Conservative social media influencers have been caught posting coordinated messages opposing proposed nutritional guidelines for SNAP benefits.
00:22:54.000After receiving payments from public relations firms, the campaign emerged as HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy explores limitations on SNAP benefits for sugary beverages.
00:23:03.000During fiscal year 2021, the program dispersed over 121 billion thousand benefits, with a significant portion spent on ultra sugary drinks that provide minimal nutritional benefits.
00:24:14.000In late June, about a dozen conservative Gen Z influencers converged on Fort Worth for a few days of right-wing networking.
00:24:21.000They go on to mention the event was sponsored by a fledgling company, Influensible LLC, that recruits young conservative social media figures to promote political campaigns and films without disclosing their business relationship.
00:24:34.000On its website, the company touts itself as the world's largest network of digital activists and offers clients the power to cultivate a community of influencers to leverage their credibility.
00:26:00.000You're saying, no, mahabad, everyone go buy sodas.
00:26:03.000At the same time, this conservative influence network that pays people to post, this coordinated messaging is a counter to what Democrats have already been doing for decades.
00:26:13.000And if we don't counter their machine, we lose.
00:26:33.000When Cory Booker and all of those Democrats put out that same exact video with the same exact script on Trump shutting down the government or something like that.
00:29:21.000Yeah, how many of your tweets, your ex-posts, are paid for that you didn't disclose?
00:29:27.000Look, the challenge here is, will the Trump administration actually pressure the FTC to go after conservative influencers who like Donald Trump?
00:30:14.000It's substantially more highly regulated, and you start getting into very serious electioneering stuff.
00:30:20.000So, for instance, when you want to buy ads on any platform, they have specific restrictions on social and political influence versus products.
00:31:54.000There are heavy restrictions on political advertising.
00:31:58.000So I think the reason they don't disclose it is because they're bordering on very serious, like...
00:32:04.000Ethical dilemmas in what they're allowed to spend and how they're allowed to do it.
00:32:08.000I can't say I know for sure because a lot of these are generic, but it gets called into question when they're not advocating for a politician.
00:32:18.000They're not advocating for a specific bill or anything.
00:32:21.000It's like any other commercial you'd see on TV where they're like, oppose the pill ban.
00:32:38.000I mean, it should be clear when it comes to at least topics like this that are totally flying in the face of all the things that the right has been going on about.
00:32:51.000First of all, the right doesn't like social programs like Snap generally.
00:32:56.000Some people will say, okay, we need them.
00:33:00.000For the most part, you'd think the right would be able to agree, yeah, for things like soda and stuff like that, we should say you can't get that kind of stuff.
00:33:08.000It should be for necessities, for basics and stuff.
00:33:10.000And then, so there is the argument, oh, well, you know, the government shouldn't be telling you what to do with your money, which is what the argument that they're making.
00:33:19.000This is, you know, clearly, that's an error in the premise.
00:34:02.000Well, I don't sell tweets, so the only times we've done it is, like I mentioned, someone sponsored IRL for an event or show, and then asked us to tweet out the show link, and I said, I've explicitly told all the sponsors, we will not tweet out anything that's like, buy this product from this company.
00:34:20.000We will, however, tweet, today's episode is this, sponsored by this company.
00:34:31.000Well, the thing is, you can't trust these people now.
00:34:34.000And, unfortunately, these people have such broad reach that it's like, well, okay, now the fact that you have broad reach, now that's a liability.
00:34:45.000Instead of an asset to the goals that people on the right have, it's like, oh, well...
00:34:51.000Okay, everyone is going to look at you and be like, well, you can't trust anything they say.
00:34:54.000And then you're literally discrediting things that could be true that you could say.
00:35:29.000Allies and adversaries of RFK Jr. alike were elated when an ex-post on Monday claimed that Health and Human Services Secretary planned to ban pharmaceutical ads from television.
00:35:37.000But Kennedy made no such announcement and no such plan exists.
00:35:41.000Breaking, RFK Jr. has announced plans to ban pharmaceutical advertisements on television, wrote Unusual Whales early Monday.
00:35:47.000Unusual Wales is a service that provides data on unusual stock trading activity.
00:35:51.000Politicians and media personalities circulated the news, most of whom praised Kennedy for acting on this long-stated desire to bar such ads from the airwaves.
00:36:01.000Huge conspiracy theorist Naomi Wolf chimed in.
00:36:04.000What about podcasts, MAGA podcaster Tim Pool mused?
00:36:07.000Interesting. I think most of us in the public health would support this.
00:36:12.000Dr. Ashish Jha, former President Joe Biden's COVID-19 response coordinator, wrote, though he noted the court challenges have impeded such efforts in the past.
00:37:00.000I gotta say, though, Vanda Pharmaceuticals, you have the best commercials ever there.
00:37:04.000There's the one where all electricity shuts down in Paris, and this woman runs.
00:37:09.000For some reason, some random blonde woman is running full speed through Paris, climbs a tower, and then turns on all of Paris' electricity with a single lever.
00:37:17.000I don't know why Paris has that kind of switch that can disable the entire city.
00:37:23.000But while she's frantically running to restore the power, they're talking about a drug that might kill you.
00:37:28.000Then there's the other one for Phanapt.
00:37:39.000But I love the commercials because as the woman is trying to figure out how to lock the door to her store, it's telling you that the drug kills you.
00:37:47.000It's like this German woman being like, Phanapt increases the QT interval, which is associated with heart arrhythmia and sudden death.
00:38:24.000I mean, just shows the cards of the mainstream media on this issue.
00:38:28.000It's like, they're instantly bringing up First Amendment protestations on this.
00:38:33.000Listen, I think everyone on this show loves the First Amendment.
00:38:38.000As one Australian politician recently put it, you know, the reason we have these laws is because we don't have a First Amendment like they do in the United States.
00:38:50.000I mean, like, why is it then that there are restrictions on tobacco and other types of advertisements, and yet pharmaceuticals get to claim this special First Amendment privilege when that wasn't extended to other types of advertisements?
00:39:05.000It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.
00:39:06.000This is not at all what the First Amendment is designed.
00:39:09.000A few years ago, I saw an interview with, I think it was the CEO of Clearview AI, that facial recognition app, and he was saying that it was their First Amendment right as a corporation to collect all the faces off.
00:40:21.000My response is it doesn't matter what powers they use.
00:40:25.000Any leader who gets in and enforces amoral degeneracy, I have a problem with.
00:40:31.000And so no matter what we say we want today, it actually doesn't matter what the limit of the powers are.
00:40:37.000It matters the moral worldview of the individual enforcing the rules.
00:40:43.000The example that I give is, we ask the question, should parents have the final say in the healthcare decisions of their children, yes or no?
00:40:52.000Yes. Unless they're going to abuse them.
00:41:32.000And the point I'm bringing this up is, when it comes to the banning of pharmaceutical ads, I literally don't care about your but my morals question.
00:41:39.000If we ban the speech today, Democrats will come and do something tomorrow.
00:41:45.000If we had an amendment to the Constitution.
00:41:47.000The 20th Amendment said all parents will get the final say as to the medical decisions of their children.
00:41:53.000The end result would be waves of parents giving their children sex changes without our ability to intervene.
00:41:59.000So do we want that principle enshrined in law?
00:42:04.000When we're saying this, we're saying kids shouldn't be forced to take drugs when the parents are saying no.
00:42:09.000The state shouldn't be allowed to take the kids from the parents.
00:42:11.000Schools shouldn't be allowed to cover this stuff up.
00:42:13.000We're, of course, not saying that parents should be allowed to abuse their children.
00:42:17.000The issue is we want that enshrined in law, but as soon as a Democrat gets in, they reinterpret the principle and apply it in the other direction.
00:43:28.000Nobody has any agreement on what those principles are anymore.
00:43:31.000Being principled applies to a country with social cohesion.
00:43:34.000If everybody shares a moral worldview, we remain principled because we're saying, don't be corrupt.
00:43:39.000But if you come to me and say, but Tim, if you say that Trump should arrest the corrupt politicians, Democrats will get in and do it too.
00:43:47.000And I'm like, actually, let's do the way around.
00:43:49.000Democrats did this, and now Trump should too.
00:43:51.000I think you're pointing out there's been an inversion.
00:43:54.000For a long time on the right about how these principles actually work with one another.
00:43:59.000What you're pointing to is like, and the complaint about abusive parents, right?
00:44:04.000In the case of abusive parents, whether that's sex changes or physical abuse or whatever.
00:44:09.000If a second order principle is not in service of a higher principle, which is our view of there are things that are morally right and things that are morally wrong.
00:44:47.000There's no way that that can be interpreted as some sort of positive moral good in a world where there is any sort of rational world where we can determine what is right, what is wrong, what is black, what is white, etc.
00:45:01.000I think you're absolutely right on this.
00:45:04.000this wartime presidency thing is actually a recovery of higher values in our politics that have been completely destroyed because people latched on to these secondary principles, right?
00:45:16.000Wanting to have a say over your child's education or over your child's well-being and made that the entire ballgame.
00:45:23.000And like, actually, we need to get back to the most basic stuff, which is, no, everybody, there is a right and a wrong.
00:46:42.000You go back to the Founding Fathers, stand up in one of their congressional congresses, and start cussing and blaspheming, and they'd have you arrested.
00:46:50.000And they'd say, we're not talking about the free speech to do that.
00:46:54.000We're talking about the right peaceably assembled men.
00:46:57.000That individuals could gather in a room and hold a Continental Congress of the King coming and shutting it down.
00:48:13.000Donald Trump's trying to deport Trendy Aragua.
00:48:16.000There's apparently arguments that there's a gay Venezuelan barber, asylum seeker, who's been wrapped up in this and sent to a Supermax in El Salvador, which is terrifying.
00:48:37.000So I think he's a liar who committed a crime against this country.
00:48:40.000I don't think he deserves to go to Supermax, but at the same time...
00:48:44.000Am I really going to come out right now and argue that Donald Trump should not use the fullest extent of his powers to undo the damage that Biden caused?
00:49:02.000And that means that the chances of people that are not here illegally or that are not criminals or whatever, they're going to get wrapped up too.
00:49:48.000Yeah. I will say, a gay barber that gets caught up in an El Salvadorian supermax prison sounds like a fantastic premise for a great comedy movie.
00:50:05.000Bill Hader is amazing, but there's a character just like that.
00:50:08.000Yeah. Well, it goes back to the point you were just making about lamenting, oh, well, if we do this, then Democrats will eventually use that against us.
00:50:18.000I think people are undercounting the knock-on effects that wielding this type of political power has, right?
00:50:23.000Like, Democrats did all of these things in the Joe Biden administration, dating back to, you want to stretch back to FDR or Woodrow Wilson or whatever, right?
00:50:32.000They were not concerned with what the right was going to do when the right got power.
00:50:39.000Why? Because they knew if they exercised power in such a way, they could inculcate their interests and their peoples so that when we come in and we have a mandate like this on the right...
00:50:51.000Breaking down that wall is proving really, really difficult.
00:50:55.000Just ask the Trump administration legal team who finds themselves involved in 132 different court cases, right?
00:51:00.000So this idea that power once wielded can be equally applied by the other side, I don't think that's true in the current system that we have.
00:51:10.000So it's smart for the Trump administration, as Tim was saying, to use as much power as possible to...
00:51:17.000Get back to those basics that we were talking about, right?
00:51:20.000To get back there, you need to destroy everything that they've built to inculcate their values.
00:51:25.000Obviously, right now, if, you know, one of the questions I had for the trigonometry guys is, if, with all these terror attacks that are happening against Tesla facilities, and we've already seen the summer of riots, so we're in this period of conflict.
00:51:40.000If the legislature of a state voted to protect These far-left groups from their own law enforcement and from federal law enforcement, should Trump intervene, invoke the Insurrection Act, and start enforcing the law federally through the National Guard?
00:51:58.000I was hoping they were going to do that during the Black Lives Matter riots.
00:53:14.000And Donald Trump says he's like Abraham Lincoln.
00:53:17.000Right. But I don't agree with what Lincoln did with suspending habeas corpus with those people because they were just openly saying they were sympathizers of the Confederacy.
00:53:33.000We need safe passage between Pennsylvania and D.C. and Maryland as a slave state sympathetic to the Confederacy.
00:53:39.000We need to remove the Confederate sympathizers, and we need to create a passage for U.S. military and troops to move into D.C. without any obstruction.
00:53:49.000So the point of the suspension of habeas corpus was anyone who obstructed them would be arrested and removed immediately without question because they were at war.
00:53:57.000We are not in a physical kinetic war right now.
00:54:00.000What we have is higher generational warfare to some degree.
00:54:56.000I think he's half-joking, but I'm not going to tolerate any kind of, we're going to ship American citizens to a foreign country to a max prison.
00:55:04.000Far-leftist wingnuts get due process, and that due process is the right to a trial, because if you don't give them that, you don't get it either.
00:55:11.000Now, as for these non-citizens, this gay barber asylum seeker, you want me to feel sorry for this guy?
00:55:16.000The guy who illegally entered our country lied to us so that he could come here, break our laws?
00:55:21.000Listen, I don't want him in a supermax prison.
00:55:30.000You do not illegally enter this country and take advantage of the American people and then expect me to come out and defend you the way I would an American citizen or a legal resident who did everything right.
00:55:39.000That being said, Mahmoud Khalil, he's on a two-year temporary green card.
00:55:43.000They act like he's a permanent resident.
00:55:45.000That's a technicality because he is on a green card, but it's a temporary.
00:58:09.000We've got, on the low end, an estimated 10 million people who illegally entered this country, and that doesn't include the people who are legally allowed to enter under Joe Biden's special programs, like the 530,000 Haitians, Cubans, etc., and Venezuelans.
00:58:39.000But this was still an attack on the American people, seeking to flood the zone in liberal jurisdictions to boost their electoral vote count.
00:58:47.000This is the game that Democrats have been playing.
00:58:49.000Trump will reverse this, otherwise the country is doomed.
00:58:53.000There will be a response from the left in some capacity, and you are going to get these narratives.
00:59:30.000He came from Venezuela, bypassing every country in between where he could have been safe, came to the United States for economic reasons, most likely, breaking our laws, and in the sweep, he gets deported.
00:59:42.000Now, I've heard two conflicting reports.
00:59:43.000One says he's still currently in U.S. detention or in U.S.-controlled detention, awaiting some kind of hearing.
00:59:50.000Others have said he's already in Venezuela.
00:59:52.000But this is not an American citizen who is innocent.
01:00:01.000When they start pumping out that propaganda with the people in trucks getting pushed out, all our friends out there just keep saying, I voted for this.
01:00:08.000We've got to push through it, but the crazy people are going to get crazier.
01:01:50.000In Martinsburg, West Virginia, we had a woman, roller went in and started screaming at the top of our lungs at us.
01:01:56.000Just like screaming with her kid in the car.
01:01:58.000And then the other thing was, I pulled up, I was at a stop sign, and a guy pulled up, looked at me, and then just gave a thumbs down like that.
01:03:49.000You mentioned that you've had this experience, and I think that it's probably due to the fact that you were driving around in a Cybertruck, because I own a Tesla, and I actually went to D.C. this weekend myself.
01:04:07.000No, but you also kind of have a don't F with me look.
01:04:10.000I mean, look, man, I'm not some tough guy or whatever, and I'm there with my girlfriend and stuff, and it's like, you know, I do drive a black S, so it's not like some kind of, like, it doesn't stick out the same way that a Cybertruck does, you know?
01:04:23.000And I think that that's probably why, you know, Tim, people, you know, took notice of Tim is because of the vehicle itself.
01:04:29.000I think maybe tomorrow I'm going to send out a film crew and one of our armed guards just to park the vehicle and, like...
01:04:39.000I hate to say we're going to have an armed guard.
01:05:41.000Everywhere. So when you go to Martinsburg, West Virginia, there's progress pride flags everywhere.
01:05:47.000And this is one of the concerns the locals were telling us when we were trying to set up shop there, which we are not anymore because of the far-left extremism and the vandalism and the violence.
01:05:56.000But it's unfortunate because local businesses said these woke people from Frederick and from parts of Maryland are coming here because the rent is cheap.
01:06:05.000And they're bringing that influence with them.
01:06:08.000Now it's infecting their city, and what can you do?
01:06:12.000I wonder what the environmental impact is on destroying a Tesla.
01:06:20.000I also think of, I don't know if you guys have seen this, but the heat map for liberal psychology and conservative psychology, whereas, so it's a circle, and it's like a bullseye.
01:06:33.000And so the bullseye is if you have the strongest attachment to your family, then your outer family, your close friends, friends, peers, you know, colleagues, blah, blah, blah.
01:06:41.000And it goes all the way out until the last rung of the bullseye is everything in existence.
01:06:47.000And the conservative heat map is really concentrated on those first fundamental units of society.
01:06:55.000Your peers, your colleagues, your family, your friends, right?
01:08:03.000It manifests in your community, which is these people don't actually care that they're destroying your Teslas.
01:08:10.000They're so fixated on loving, you know...
01:08:13.000The government are loving America in the abstract.
01:08:17.000They don't actually know or understand or have any sense of what it actually is, right?
01:08:22.000Because they've decided that America is this amorphous thing that I get to decide what it is at any point in time.
01:08:27.000And if that requires me destroying someone's Tesla or getting out in the streets during Summer of Love and burning down whole neighborhoods or not calling the police when I see a crime happen on the street or locking up Daniel Penny, you know, any of those things are totally fit in.
01:08:43.000This psychological matrix that people have actually mapped now and we get to see how deranged this movement actually is.
01:08:49.000I just think it's a cult, you know, and sometimes I watch some of these other podcasts sometimes and I know that many of these other prominent personalities are too scared to say what they know is true.
01:09:18.000And I think it was in Minnesota, Wisconsin, they went after Trump's lawyers as well.
01:09:22.000The moment Democrats in government tried to arrest Trump's lawyers for simply representing him, it was apparent that we were in some kind of...
01:09:33.000Fight between warring factions in the government for control of that government.
01:09:38.000I would say even earlier, right, when Obama's wiretapping Trump's campaign.
01:10:12.000Okay. So have Democrats unconstitutionally targeted the president with criminal indictments, threats of property seizure, targeting of his assets, resources, family, and lawyers?
01:10:30.000How would you describe a state of government where one political faction has violated the supreme law of the land, that's the Constitution, to destroy their political opponent?
01:11:27.000Okay. This is an administrative level.
01:11:29.000They also tried to seize his assets in New York City.
01:11:34.000Even though Deutsche Bank, Trump's creditors, his lenders, argued that he made them money, he never deceived them, and they liked to work with him again, they still found him liable of civil fraud.
01:11:47.000Now, with these things being true, the question then is, what should a now Trump administration do?
01:12:41.000And they're hoping and begging it doesn't happen again.
01:12:43.000Okay. If Donald Trump does not criminally charge and investigate, if Dan Bongino and Kash Patel do not go after these...
01:12:52.000Individuals who violated the Constitution targeting their political opponent, you have no country.
01:12:59.000Totally. If they are allowed to do these things without repercussion, there was the lawyer who altered an email so Carter Page would go to jail.
01:13:10.000The fake impeachments, the censorship, the only rational conclusion is, for anybody who knows the truth, Trump must investigate, indict, Arrest and charge politicians, attorneys general, district attorneys.
01:13:27.000You go to one of these run-of-the-mill woke light or fake centrist types, and you ask them these questions, they will abandon the conversation faster than you can say, andele, andele, yipa, yipa.
01:14:13.000Now that the right is in power, they shouldn't try to, one, rectify the things that have been broken, and two, try to punish those people that actually did the breaking.
01:16:00.000I want to highlight a piece written by Dr. Matthew Meehan in The American Mind about a roadmap to restore accountability in our government.
01:16:10.000And one thing that he mentions in this piece is the first thing that you can go after, and it's actually a relatively easy thing to go after, rather than the types of high crimes that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris might be engaged in, just go after perjury first.
01:17:19.000Right. So you want definitely some of these people in jail, but it's like, how do you balance that in a way so that we don't get into a situation where the entire country starts to fall apart?
01:17:29.000And so I've really been trying to think about what Dr. Meehan challenges people to think about.
01:17:35.000It's like proper political uses of clemency that can strengthen accountability, public trust, and the rule of law.
01:19:31.000Figure out a way to structure our retribution, because our retribution is going to be success, in a way that doesn't destroy the country.
01:19:41.000Because I don't think, one, let me just be clear, I don't think Trump's going to destroy the country, golden age, blah blah blah blah blah.
01:19:47.000But, if these are the stakes, right, where like, it's going to be, Summer of Love is going to look like a sideshow, if this thing really kicks off.
01:19:56.000And I think we really do have to think about this really critically.
01:20:24.000She's in a wheelchair, and some guy, this is another viral video, just went out, keyed her car totally, and she's like, I'm handicapped, and I bought an electric car for the environment.
01:22:32.000But again, I want to at least have there be a consideration of optimism in that we were talking about winning a culture war, and we all rallied and voted for Donald Trump and for the Republicans, and they've got the House, the Senate, and the executive branch right now, and they're actually using it.
01:23:17.000That's... That would be, in my opinion, that is the best-case outcome, is if the narrative-building machines that the left has used with the NGOs and the unlimited money that the federal government can produce and print up, and just as long as they can get Congress to sign off on some omnibus bill, then they have almost unlimited money.
01:24:11.000But the point is, like these things that were happening, they were funded.
01:24:16.000And a lot of it seems like it was coming through, whether it be USAID or funding to NGOs.
01:24:23.000If we can actually cut off that funding, if the Trump administration can actually cut off that funding, you might be able to get a real, real understanding of what the American people actually think as opposed to what they're, you know, what they're led to believe because of NGOs and narrative.
01:24:39.000Let me just see if I get what Phil's saying real quick.
01:24:58.000The events in the cycle is, Biden goes after Trump, Trump does something about it, left freaks out, Trump does something, and then, you know, left decides to go after Trump again.
01:25:09.000So if we can destroy the left's outrage machine that you think disassembles the cycle and you don't need to be so concerned with those types of political consequences that we were just – Further than that, it might be that the reason the left has had such influence on society overall is because of the money that was being pumped in.
01:25:32.000So we might actually not have a representation of what people do actually think in this country because it's been skewed by...
01:25:40.000Leftist funding, leftist narrative building, and stuff like that.
01:25:43.000So if it's possible that they have actually, by breaking that cycle, you might have a new understanding of what the American people actually do.
01:26:22.000There were concerns the governor was being pressured by major food lobbying groups saying the state will lose billions of dollars.
01:26:29.000In the end, he did the right thing and the difficult thing as a good leader, and he banned it.
01:26:35.000The New York Times says in the most sweeping move of its kind, West Virginia has banned foods containing most artificial food dyes and two preservatives, citing their health risks.
01:26:44.000The legislation signed into law Monday by Governor Patrick Morrissey will go into effect in 2028.
01:26:49.000At least 20 states are considering similar restrictions on food chemicals.
01:26:53.000But West Virginia is the first to ban virtually all artificial dyes from foods sold statewide.
01:27:00.000Quote. Everybody realizes that we've got to do something about food in general, said Adam Berkhammer, a Republican state rep who introduced the bill in February.
01:27:09.000It quickly passed both legislative houses with broad bipartisan support.
01:27:14.000Mr. Berkhammer said he hopes the law will improve the health of children in his state and spur other states to take similar actions.
01:27:21.000California has passed similar measures, though they were narrower in scope.
01:27:26.000One passed in 2023 banned four food additives statewide.
01:27:30.000And 2024 banned artificial food dies from school meals.
01:27:34.000I just want to say this is incredibly epic.
01:27:36.000The economic opportunity for West Virginia knows no bounds at this point.
01:27:41.000And while I have my beef with the state over their ridiculous Uber laws, I think we can get that stuff reversed.
01:27:52.000If you're a mom living in suburban Maryland, maybe you're in Hagerstown or you're in Frederick.
01:28:00.000You are absolutely going to drive the 30 minutes to the supermarket in West Virginia where you know every single food item is going to be devoid of this garbage.
01:28:11.000Look, if we're hanging out in the tri-state, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and we want to go to a restaurant, you think I'm going to...
01:29:35.000To be fair, you know, a lot of people live in this area because the Eastern Panhandle is close to D.C. But they actually now, I think he's in Charleston, which is, you know, the capital.
01:29:51.000People out here were like, they almost couldn't believe it because it was, you know, remember when Obama was going to win and there was that narrative that it was actual change?
01:29:59.000When Morrissey won and justice gets out, people were like, Morrissey's actually based.
01:30:16.000When you are presented with all of these major food producers who are like, we generate billions in revenue in your state, and you are saying, we can't sell this product anymore, we're going to leave.
01:30:25.000What does that mean for your schools, for your roads?
01:30:28.000What does that mean for your supermarkets?
01:30:30.000What are the costs going to turn into?
01:34:04.000So what you do is, you get the orange and the green, right?
01:34:07.000You get up in a big cherry picker on a truck.
01:34:09.000I used to do this, what I did for a living, it was fun.
01:34:11.000And you'd wear crazy gear in a blizzard, and we'd grab the hose, and we'd open it up and blast the plane, just the whole wing, just with this orange sludge, which was heated 50-50 glycol water mixture.
01:34:25.000The reason why you use the glycol is it doesn't freeze.
01:36:03.000And so we decided to stop buying it because I'm like, look, you take a coconut, you give me the coconut meat from the inside and the coconut milk, the water, and I'll make something with it.
01:36:12.000But they want it to be thicker, like regular milk, which is thick because of fat and calcium.
01:37:29.00045% of propylene glycol produced is used as chemical feedstock for the production of unsaturated polyester resins.
01:37:35.000In this regard, propylene glycol reacts with the mixture of unsaturated malleic anhydride and esophallic acid to give a copolymer.
01:37:48.000This partially unsaturated polymer undergoes further cross-linking to yield thermoset plastics.
01:37:54.000Related to the application, propylene glycol reacts with propylene oxide to give oligomers.
01:37:58.000If you know what these things are, I have no idea what's going on.
01:38:01.000None of this shit should be in the human system.
01:38:04.000It's used as an anti-caking agent, an emulsifier, a flavor agent, humectant, texturizer, stabilizer, solvent, antioxidant, really, antimicrobial and thickener.
01:38:46.000De-icing, you're usually just playing Xbox all day.
01:38:51.000Then, if it snows, then you get to ride around in the top of a cherry picker, decked out in all this, like, you get a jumpsuit, you put it on, and then you blast the planes with a hose.
01:38:59.000It's one of the easier jobs to do, and it's a lot of fun.
01:39:02.000You have, like, this big fire hose, and one guy told me a story where his buddy was walking down, like, the pathway, and he blasted him with hot propylene glycol and just drenched him with it.
01:40:08.000That's why they put it in baked goods in the grocery store because it feels like it's moist like cake when it actually should be disgusting.
01:40:44.000The safety of electronic cigarettes, which utilize propylene glycol-based preparations of nicotine or THC and other cannabinoids, is the subject of much controversy.
01:40:52.000Vitamin E acetate has also been identified in this controversy.
01:40:55.000I see LD50 there, which is the name of a mud vein album.
01:41:45.000As the story goes, what I can't say is definitively true, because we've looked it up and we've put it on the show, a research student had mixed chlorine with sugar, and the professor or whatever said, test it.
01:42:00.000And he thought he said, taste it, so he tasted it and said it's sweet.
01:42:02.000My understanding is that they're trying to make a pesticide.
01:42:05.000By combining chlorine with sugar, the sugar would attract insects and the chlorine would kill them.
01:43:35.000So they said, we've got to do the dwarves, but what do we do with all this footage we paid for of seven racially and gender diverse companions?
01:45:12.000I feel kind of bad because this arrogant Rachel Zegler didn't understand.
01:45:16.000She thought what she was doing was popular but they don't get it.
01:45:19.000And she's got this viral video where she says, to all the haters out there, to everybody who's trying to bring me down, I just hope that when I make a movie or music or whatever, people wait in line to see me.
01:46:09.000When we did the deal with Rumble and we started promoting the show on Rumble, Our viewership just spiked because the Rumble audience is a different group of people.
01:46:18.000And now many people from the YouTube have switched to Rumble, but we still have a strong YouTube presence.
01:46:23.000There are a lot of people who are very confused because they thought Steven Crowder's announcement about getting off YouTube applied to TimCast IRL.
01:46:52.000But this is just me by myself, where I just go live and do a segment I would normally do.
01:46:57.000So there's no real issue with us just saying, you know, there is an audience there, but they haven't been subscribed to this channel for years, specifically for a live show.
01:49:12.000Same thing for Jeremy Hambly and Viva Frye.
01:49:13.000The viewership is skyrocketing because Rumble is actively trying to promote and build up a space that Spotify is also desperately trying to build up and that YouTube actively suppressed.
01:49:56.000You compare Timcast IRL numbers to like Mr. Beast or some of these other shows.
01:50:01.000I look at some of these other YouTube creators and they get like 5 million views on one video they make, but they do like one a week because they're like highly produced.
01:50:10.000It's interesting to see that with less viewerships in the political space, you make substantially more money because it's like a pyramid.
01:50:17.000If you do an entertainment show like gaming, you're going to get a massive audience of generalists.
01:50:22.000They're going to watch you play a video game.
01:50:24.000When you're talking about politics, it's particularly esoteric.
01:51:30.000Brad Matuzik says, The Atlantic goes on to state additional facilitating strike team members on the thread to include Hawk, Duke, Flint, and Beachhead.
01:54:00.000But then you'll come up, and I think we're going to do five people over the two hours from the members who will come and join us to debate on stage.
01:54:08.000When we do this, these will be held on Saturday nights, which means...
01:54:11.000There will be a Friday morning news show.
01:54:13.000Culture War will move to a different time slot we need to figure out.
01:54:16.000And then there will be bonus segments on the weekend from the Timcast morning show.
01:54:20.000So we've got big plans where I'm going to be doing substantially more work and having substantially less time off.
01:54:25.000And my wife is going to get very mad when she finds out.
01:55:46.000But I love my baby, and it's just, when she cries bloody murder, I'm just laughing, because I'm like, You know, to the baby, this is the end of the world.
01:55:57.000Literally the worst thing that has ever happened.
01:55:59.000Exactly. Because there's only like three things that have happened.
01:56:02.000Exactly. So she's screaming and beet red and I'm like, she just wants to drink a protein shake.
01:58:54.000You turn the TV on, it's analog TV, and it will literally play a, like, I think the max we would do is like three days, but it'll actually play, we'll get a, like an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi or something.
01:59:08.000And we will have it play television from that period, and you will actually turn the dial, UHF, VHF.
01:59:15.000And you can watch in real time at 7am here in New York.
01:59:18.000You're watching and then whatever news program with the actual news program of that time.
