Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump ASSASSINATION Body Cam PROVES Secret Service WAS WARNED w-Kyle Seraphin | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 I'm David Peña, and I'll see you next time.

00:00:19.000 These officers tried to climb on the roof.

00:00:21.000 They saw a guy with a weapon, and then they freaked out.

00:00:24.000 I'm just wondering why they didn't immediately say, get Trump off the stage, but you know, whatever.

00:00:28.000 And in this, we hear the police say that they warned the Secret Service well in advance that the roof needed to be covered.

00:00:37.000 And so, once again, another official piece of the story being dropped, which indicates Look, man, I can't tell you, okay?

00:00:47.000 We've got no official story.

00:00:48.000 But let's just say, once again, the Secret Service didn't do their jobs.

00:00:52.000 That's the easiest way to explain it.

00:00:53.000 Some might say it was an accident, some might say it was on purpose, but they did not do their jobs in every capacity, every step of the way, knowing the guy was there 3 hours in advance, 1 hour in advance, 26 minutes in advance, 10, 2, and even seeing a guy with a gun, not once did the Secret Service actually do their jobs.

00:01:09.000 They didn't attend the security briefing, they allowed a guy to fly a drone overhead, and I will stress again, they knew he snuck in.

00:01:15.000 I'm just kind of wondering what was going on, but we'll read the story, and we'll take a look at what went down with this warning.

00:01:20.000 We also have major news.

00:01:23.000 Elon Musk was going up against this large advertising cartel.

00:01:28.000 Rumble also joined the lawsuit, and they won.

00:01:31.000 They didn't win the lawsuit, they just filed the lawsuit, and then this organization disbanded.

00:01:37.000 So this responsible advertising group that was trying to block ads from X and Rumble no longer exists.

00:01:43.000 So, big news, big news.

00:01:44.000 And then Donald Trump will be debating Kamala Harris.

00:01:47.000 Sure.

00:01:48.000 I guess that'll be fun, September 10th.

00:01:49.000 And then we have another story about the FBI allowing in A man who was on the terror watch list, and it's a lot to do with the Trump assassination stuff, but I want to save the details for this one once we get into the show because it's a bit more complicated.

00:03:54.000 It's a long day so far.

00:03:55.000 Yeah, who are you?

00:03:56.000 What do you do?

00:03:57.000 So I'm an FBI agent recovering status.

00:03:59.000 I got kicked out of the Bureau in 2022, and I quote-unquote resigned after a year of being unpaid in 2023.

00:04:05.000 I'm a federal whistleblower.

00:04:06.000 I've got about 17 different whistleblowing activities, and I've been pushing the envelope against the Bureau, who don't tell us the truth, it turns out, quite a bit.

00:04:13.000 And now I run a podcast, which is a very strong change from picking up dead bodies on an Indian reservation. 1.00

00:04:18.000 But that's where I'm at now.

00:04:19.000 Well, all right.

00:04:20.000 So we got a lot to talk about then.

00:04:22.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:04:22.000 We got a lot of hanging out.

00:04:23.000 Hey, everybody.

00:04:24.000 What's up?

00:04:24.000 My name is Elad Eliyahu.

00:04:25.000 I'm a field reporter here at TimCast News.

00:04:27.000 Hannah-Claire?

00:04:28.000 Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlaw.

00:04:29.000 I'm a writer for scnr.com, Scanner News.

00:04:31.000 Check them out at TimCast News on the internet.

00:04:34.000 Elad didn't comply with our dress code today, but we should get started anyways. 1.00

00:04:37.000 What was the dress code?

00:04:38.000 Elad told me he would text me and tell me he was wearing so we could match like we did yesterday, but I guess our friendship is over.

00:04:43.000 He set you up?

00:04:44.000 Yeah, he did.

00:04:45.000 All right, here's the story from NBC News.

00:04:47.000 Body cam video shows moments police encounter Trump's would-be assassin.

00:04:52.000 Officers saying he warned Secret Service.

00:04:55.000 That's the crazy bit about this.

00:04:57.000 New body camera footage, video released Thursday by Butler Township from the day a man attempted to assassinate former President Trump.

00:05:05.000 Shows the moment police encountered the shooter before he opened fire on the Pennsylvania crowd, and includes a police officer saying he warned the Secret Service about the building vulnerability.

00:05:16.000 In one of the videos, a Butler Township officer is being hoisted onto the roof of a building near the July 13th rally, minutes before Trump was set to speak.

00:05:23.000 The officer appears to peek his head over the roof before quickly dropping to the ground and running to a nearby police vehicle.

00:05:29.000 The video shows.

00:05:30.000 The shooter cannot be seen in this angle of the body cam video, and there is no audio.

00:05:33.000 So I'd like to, uh... I'm gonna read this as well.

00:05:37.000 Later in the video, the officer appears to confirm the encounter, saying, F, this close, dude.

00:05:42.000 He turns right around on me.

00:05:43.000 Did you notice what they said in NBC News?

00:05:46.000 Um...

00:05:47.000 They said minutes before Trump was set to speak.

00:05:50.000 So hold on there a minute.

00:05:52.000 This officer saw a guy on a rooftop with a gun who pointed at him before Trump even got on stage and no one stopped Trump from getting on stage?

00:06:01.000 They may have the timeline wrong.

00:06:03.000 It is NBC.

00:06:04.000 Fair point, fair point.

00:06:05.000 They are a fake news organization.

00:06:06.000 Let's just say this.

00:06:08.000 With NBC News' credibility on the line, they have reported that before Trump was set to speak, this officer encountered the man with the gun on the rooftop.

00:06:17.000 Here's why I say that's not true.

00:06:19.000 Because if you watch the video, the first two minutes, like a lot of body cam, it's silent, right?

00:06:22.000 So it's just the video, but there's no audio.

00:06:24.000 You don't get to hear it.

00:06:25.000 But as the audio goes live... You hear Trump.

00:06:28.000 Trump is not speaking anymore.

00:06:29.000 They're scrambling, and the shooter's already down.

00:06:31.000 So in that two-minute window, Trump was already speaking.

00:06:34.000 He had to be.

00:06:34.000 So I'm going to call this NBC scrambling.

00:06:36.000 Oh, NBC news.

00:06:37.000 Fake news.

00:06:37.000 That's a bad fake news right there.

00:06:40.000 That's serious.

00:06:41.000 That's just lazy editing.

00:06:42.000 We don't hire editors anymore.

00:06:43.000 Yeah.

00:06:44.000 Well, what I will say is they warned the Secret Service well in advance.

00:06:48.000 That's true.

00:06:49.000 We know that.

00:06:50.000 So the question then is, wow, as more and more information gets released, we are left with one of the most perplexing scenarios, where the only official story we have is, for some reason, the Secret Service did not do their job.

00:07:06.000 Now, some might argue that it was all just pure incompetence, but that seems strange to me that there could be so much of it.

00:07:13.000 Now, don't get me wrong, I think the government's relatively incompetent quite a bit, but when people are screaming, he's got a gun on the roof, it's a bit more than incompetence.

00:07:22.000 When the Secret Service doesn't come to the security briefing, when they know that this guy snuck in, When they see him three hours in advance with a rangefinder, one hour in advance, once again, lurking around with a rangefinder, where did the gun come from?

00:07:39.000 How was he carrying it?

00:07:41.000 How was he able to bypass all of this security?

00:07:44.000 The idea that it was pure incompetence is... You know, you can't call it a conspiracy theory in the literal sense, but in the figurative sense, it's a conspiracy theory.

00:07:53.000 And I'll clarify this.

00:07:55.000 People like to say that if you believe the Earth is flat, you're a conspiracy theorist.

00:08:00.000 There's no flat Earth conspiracy.

00:08:03.000 Like, two guys didn't get together to conspire to make the world flat.

00:08:06.000 I've got people telling me that it's a lot of guys.

00:08:08.000 All the world governments have conspired to flatten out the Earth.

00:08:11.000 Now, if you want to argue that NASA is lying about the Earth or whatever, there's your conspiracy theory.

00:08:16.000 But when you believe that, like, the Earth is hollow and there's dinosaurs living under it, that's just crazy.

00:08:21.000 That's not a conspiracy.

00:08:23.000 So what I'm saying is, if we want to use conspiracy theorists in the sense, the way the media does, that anybody who challenges official narratives or whatever, Then if you believe this is incompetence, you're a conspiracy theorist.

00:08:36.000 First and foremost, there is no official story.

00:08:38.000 We don't know where he got the gun, how he got it up there.

00:08:40.000 They're saying maybe it was collapsible or something, maybe he got it from his dad.

00:08:43.000 There's conflicting stories about whether he climbed an air conditioner or there was a ladder.

00:08:47.000 We have not received an official narrative, an official story of who this guy is, what his motivation was, why he was there, how he bypassed security, why security wasn't doing their job, why Secret Service didn't pull Trump from the stage.

00:08:57.000 None of it adds up.

00:08:59.000 So the only thing you can do is guess.

00:09:02.000 That's what I hate.

00:09:03.000 I also hate that there was so little accountability from the Secret Service.

00:09:08.000 If you guys remember, I reference this all the time, but Kim Cheadle didn't do an official press conference.

00:09:14.000 She didn't make a formal statement.

00:09:16.000 She did an ABC interview.

00:09:17.000 She was working on the sloped roof situation.

00:09:19.000 She had to work out whether that was going to pull well.

00:09:21.000 Well, she said, you know, the buck stops with me and the Secret Service is in charge.

00:09:25.000 But actually, local police was in charge of that video.

00:09:26.000 I mean, she tried to throw them under the bus immediately and shift the narrative away from her while also simultaneously trying to say, I'm the head of this organization and the buck stops with me.

00:09:35.000 I think, obviously, it's intentional that we have no information here.

00:09:39.000 And I think that is just going to further harm American public trust, not just in the institutions, but also in other people.

00:09:47.000 This cop in the body camera footage even says, how the hell could you lose a guy walking over here?

00:09:52.000 He says he told the Secret Service four days in advance to post someone up there.

00:09:55.000 They didn't do it.

00:09:56.000 They didn't do it.

00:09:57.000 So this goes back even before the rally.

00:10:00.000 Secret Service was informed they needed a guy on the roof.

00:10:03.000 Didn't do it.

00:10:03.000 They were supposed to have a security briefing.

00:10:05.000 Didn't go.

00:10:06.000 They saw the guy sneak in, didn't care.

00:10:08.000 Three hours in advance, spotted a guy with a rangefinder.

00:10:10.000 So what?

00:10:10.000 An hour?

00:10:11.000 So what?

00:10:11.000 Twenty-six minutes?

00:10:12.000 So what?

00:10:12.000 Ten minutes?

00:10:13.000 So what?

00:10:13.000 At two minutes, they're screaming, he's got a gun!

00:10:15.000 So what?

00:10:16.000 In this video, the guy's saying that, uh, where's the other quote?

00:10:21.000 He's saying, uh, there's a, uh, let me read these quotes.

00:10:25.000 In the video, he jumps down and he says, F this. 0.99

00:10:29.000 He then runs to his radio, Uh, before you MF'er came out here, I put my head up like an effing idiot by myself, dude. 0.95

00:10:35.000 I was calling out, bro, on top of the roof, bro, were you on the same frequency? 0.98

00:10:40.000 The SWAT team member says he was pissed that he couldn't find him.

00:10:43.000 So you have a police officer.

00:10:45.000 They say in another clip released Thursday, an unidentified Butler Township officer said about 10 minutes after Trump was shot that he told the Secret Service about the building's vulnerability days before the rally.

00:10:52.000 So this guy sees the guy on the roof and yells on the radio, they don't pull Trump off the stage.

00:10:58.000 So now not only do we have regular people screaming, he's on the roof, he's got a gun, and Secret Service does nothing.

00:11:03.000 You've got a cop saying he was calling on the radio, he's on the roof, bro on the roof, they did nothing.

00:11:09.000 I'm sorry, the only thing I can say is I don't intend to go out and buy a Mega Millions ticket right now because the amount of incompetency for it were to be an accident would be the stars aligning perfectly and I might as well just go win a billion dollars.

00:11:21.000 No, I think it was intentional.

00:11:23.000 Because you gotta look at the simple solution.

00:11:25.000 Did every accident in the world happen?

00:11:28.000 Did every person stationed here at the Secret Service just have like an IQ of 70?

00:11:34.000 Or were they intentionally ignoring what was going on?

00:11:38.000 I'm going to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I think there were just so many levels of incompetencies that overlapped with one another.

00:11:47.000 Tim mentioned a few.

00:11:48.000 It was this poor communication between the local law enforcement team in Butler and the Secret Service, not knowing who was going to secure the roof of this building.

00:11:59.000 What do you mean?

00:12:00.000 The cops said they warned Secret Service to do it.

00:12:02.000 What do you mean there's miscommunication?

00:12:03.000 Why are you making that up?

00:12:04.000 No, the miscommunication was between the Secret Service who told the local PD that they should cover the roof.

00:12:13.000 A police officer said four days before he instructed the Secret Service to station guys on that roof.

00:12:19.000 That's the story we have right now.

00:12:20.000 We can assume he's lying, or we can assume it's the truth.

00:12:23.000 I think the safe bet we can make right now is, this is body camera footage from that day, right when they saw the shooter, before he took the shot.

00:12:31.000 The guy is saying, I told them four days ago.

00:12:34.000 So I don't care about anything Kim Chill said after the fact.

00:12:37.000 This is a cop saying they were told to get a guy on the roof.

00:12:39.000 Why didn't they do it?

00:12:41.000 Well, you see some of why.

00:12:42.000 There's no poor communication there.

00:12:43.000 We actually do see some of why.

00:12:44.000 And there actually is poor communication in that video.

00:12:46.000 I've worked with Secret Service.

00:12:46.000 So I'll break this down.

00:12:48.000 I was at Trump's inauguration in 2017.

00:12:50.000 I've been in plainclothes.

00:12:51.000 I've worked with Uniform Division in plainclothes and also in their uniform.

00:12:55.000 So I've been at multiple State of the Unions.

00:12:57.000 We've done a bunch of operations.

00:12:58.000 My team was surveillance.

00:12:59.000 So we would be on the ground, walking around.

00:13:02.000 The thing that people thought that was going on on January 6th, or what would be the right thing for them to do, which is to basically Look for people that are dropping backpacks behind a, you know, behind a tree and leaving explosives.

00:13:12.000 We would do the thing like trying to protect First Amendment civil liberties.

00:13:16.000 What I saw in that clip, which I think is very salient, number one, the guy goes up, right?

00:13:20.000 He puts his head over the top of the edge.

00:13:21.000 He looks over, supposedly sees the gunman.

00:13:23.000 I'll believe that.

00:13:23.000 The body cam doesn't show it, but there's no reason to think otherwise.

00:13:26.000 Falls back down.

00:13:27.000 What does he do?

00:13:28.000 He sprints back to his patrol cruiser.

00:13:30.000 And he gets a rifle, and he's so rattled that he's not even able to get the magazine into the rifle.

00:13:35.000 I watched this a couple of times, but he's like, I mean, he's totally rattled, but here's the thing.

00:13:38.000 He ran from the one place where he knew where the guy was, and he went to go get a rifle, which is a thing means that he was not paying attention.

00:13:45.000 He could have just laid there and covered the roof and then been there vectoring in a SWAT team.

00:13:49.000 That would be a totally heads up move.

00:13:50.000 That didn't happen.

00:13:51.000 And what we've also heard is that the Secret Service, and this is the most probable thing that I've ever heard, didn't use the local PD's radios.

00:13:59.000 When you work on a federal system, especially if you're traveling, because I used to do this for a living.

00:14:03.000 I've been to 20 different field offices working out of other places.

00:14:06.000 We never got local patrol radios.

00:14:08.000 Why? 0.98

00:14:09.000 It's the dumbest reason you can imagine, Tim. 0.96

00:14:10.000 It's because nobody wants to take responsibility for the radio and then give it back to the other guy. 0.97

00:14:14.000 So they don't take the radio.

00:14:16.000 I've seen the least competency when it comes to functioning on a radio.

00:14:19.000 So the comm situation, it makes sense that they're calling in, they're screaming across the TAC channel that's supposed to be going to Secret Service, and at best it's going into a relay station in a trailer somewhere and not getting out to those agents.

00:14:31.000 So the delayed response, it does make sense in that case.

00:14:34.000 I also agree with you that the number of screw-ups that have to happen defy credulity.

00:14:39.000 Every single level, because there are so many of them.

00:14:41.000 The advanced team has to screw up.

00:14:42.000 The guy in the day decides, oh, I'm gonna go take a pee.

00:14:44.000 It's too hot here on the roof.

00:14:45.000 I might as well sit inside.

00:14:46.000 I'm gonna leave this thing open.

00:14:48.000 The kid somehow gets a rifle up there.

00:14:49.000 He's flying the drone.

00:14:50.000 There's a million screw-ups there.

00:14:52.000 How did we get from, they spotted him with a rangefinder, and then he had a gun?

00:14:57.000 Yeah, and they hid a backpack.

00:14:58.000 And here's the other thing, so the Deputy Assistant Director... Yeah, dismantled and put the weapon together on the roof?

00:15:02.000 Oh, you could do that.

00:15:03.000 That's not that hard.

00:15:03.000 No, I know.

00:15:04.000 I'm just saying they haven't given us an official story.

00:15:06.000 The story that we heard from Paul Abate, who's the Deputy Director of the FBI.

00:15:09.000 So he's the number two.

00:15:10.000 First of all, Chris Wray came in and said one thing, and he was trying to push this, like, collapsible stock thing.

00:15:14.000 And you can tell that Chris Wray doesn't know anything about guns.

00:15:16.000 Because he talks about it, he's like, I don't know the difference between a rate of a semi-automatic... Collapsible stock, it was only like four inches, doesn't it?

00:15:20.000 Correct.

00:15:21.000 Now, the possibility is that he's got something like a law-tactable folding adapter, so you can actually fold that sucker down, and then you can actually knock off 12 inches.

00:15:27.000 But are you telling me that a kid took a 16-inch barrel plus the entire upper, which is still, you know, it's 24 inches, it's 28 inches long, and that was concealable?

00:15:37.000 I've seen one guy, I followed one terrorist subject in my three years of doing that for full-time, I followed one terrorist subject who could conceal, carry an AR-15.

00:15:46.000 How did he do it?

00:15:47.000 He was 6'8 and 350 pounds, so he looked like a WWE superhero, and he could put it underneath a jacket and not look crazy.

00:15:55.000 That's the only person I've ever seen do that.

00:15:56.000 And that kid was skinny, right?

00:15:58.000 Crooks? 0.97

00:15:59.000 He's not concealing an AR-15 under any circumstances.

00:16:01.000 Not even in a backpack.

00:16:02.000 Let's play some of this footage we have here from NBC.

00:16:05.000 This is the video I'm talking about, showing a Butler Township, Pennsylvania police officer climbing up on the roof before immediately dropping back down.

00:16:13.000 Potentially because there was concern that the shooter could turn his rifle on the officer.

00:16:18.000 There's no audio from that moment, but some video later captures the officer's immediate reaction to what he saw.

00:16:23.000 Listen to this.

00:16:26.000 It was right where you picked me up, bro.

00:16:31.000 He was on that left side.

00:16:33.000 And remember, the suspect, the shooter, was able to get several shots off in the moments after that officer climbed the roof, hurting the former president and killing a bystander.

00:16:41.000 Here's what I think, too.

00:16:42.000 The FBI said eight, by the way.

00:16:44.000 Planned incompetence would be intentionally setting it up so that local law enforcement and Secret Service can't communicate.

00:16:50.000 So if the cops find something, Secret Service doesn't respond.

00:16:53.000 It could be instructing Secret Service they don't need to attend the morning security briefing.

00:16:56.000 It could be intentionally not placing someone on that roof.

00:17:00.000 However, the question that remains, this guy, How was he allowed, in every step of the way, to bypass security?

00:17:07.000 And this could all be explained by a single individual at a logistical level.

00:17:11.000 You get a Secret Service guy calling, hey, I see a weird guy with a rangefinder.

00:17:13.000 And then the boss goes, nah, nah, we're taking care of that, you're good.

00:17:16.000 They go, okay.

00:17:17.000 And then they disregard.

00:17:18.000 You get a team of people and you say, here's how we're securing the event, don't worry, we'll give you your assignments.

00:17:23.000 And then you intentionally don't assign someone to the roof.

00:17:25.000 All the other guys, all they know is, hey, I'm covering this roof, I'm covering that roof.

00:17:29.000 They assume someone must be doing the other job.

00:17:31.000 It still would imply someone in an official capacity was pulling the strings to make the incompetence happen.

00:17:37.000 Yeah, or they were lazy.

00:17:38.000 And so there's this thing, my buddies and I talk about the myth of competence.

00:17:41.000 Everybody likes to imagine that there's just this high-speed crew of people.

00:17:45.000 It's so often not that.

00:17:47.000 Here's some of the fog of war stuff that people have to put in, because some of the incompetency can be explained, even though it's horrific.

00:17:52.000 We saw some of it in that body cam footage, which they didn't show, which is the guys running.

00:17:55.000 They actually put a couple of pallets up on a little overhang, And so they boosted a couple of SWAT guys up.

00:18:01.000 They're all wearing multi-cam.

00:18:02.000 Then they've got pallets, and they're trying to get to the next tier of the roof, and they're screaming for a ladder.

00:18:06.000 And so, you know, all these things are just, they get mixed up in that fog of war.

00:18:10.000 The other thing that I can see happening is...

00:18:12.000 Apparently there were two sniper teams that were up there that were Secret Service.

00:18:15.000 One was sort of like a B-team, if you will, or a C-team, and they're using bolt-action Remington 700s.

00:18:21.000 So that's not what the A-team used.

00:18:22.000 The A-team uses like an SR-25, like a Knight's Armament, like higher-end weapon system.

00:18:27.000 And so they have semi-automatic capabilities, and they can shoot that far out with a .308.

00:18:30.000 So the problem is...

00:18:32.000 What I saw in the video, everyone thought it was like one dude who was taking the shot and they're like, look there he is taking the kill shot or whatever and they show the rifle moving.

00:18:38.000 He breaks contact with the glass and all this other kind of stuff and that poor guy is probably going to get lambasted about this forever.

00:18:43.000 But it looks like he broke contact because he flinched because he wasn't prepared.

00:18:45.000 He saw shots coming in and he thought it was coming at him.

00:18:47.000 Right.

00:18:48.000 That was the nearest sniper.

00:18:49.000 The further snipers are the ones that took the shot.

00:18:51.000 I can imagine that you're sitting there looking at a roof where someone is supposed to be because there was someone supposed to be there for all the things that we've heard.

00:18:57.000 They weren't there, but there was supposed to be someone.

00:19:00.000 And imagine that you're a cop or you're a Secret Service uniformed division guy and

00:19:03.000 you're on the gun and you pan over and there's a dude in a place where a dude is supposed

00:19:07.000 to be and the dude has a gun and there's supposed to be a guy with a gun there.

00:19:10.000 But he's wearing shorts and he's got long hair and weird glasses and you're like, is

00:19:15.000 that, you know, is that Mike?

00:19:16.000 Is that like, who the hell is that?

00:19:17.000 And then you don't have comms with whoever the local sniper team that's supposed to be putting the guy up there or whatever it looks like.

00:19:22.000 And you have that moment of hesitation and that guy at the same time has the same problem of the cop coming up.

00:19:26.000 There can be a carnival of errors, like the symphony of things that line up.

00:19:30.000 I do agree that there is some incompetence, whether it's intentional or just absolutely reckless.

00:19:35.000 I don't want to speculate on it yet, but I will tell you this.

00:19:38.000 The single worst trainee that any of you can imagine, just get on your imagination hats and think of the worst person that you would ever put through the FBI Academy.

00:19:46.000 She was in my class at Quantico.

00:19:49.000 She was under 5 feet tall.

00:19:50.000 And nothing against short women. 1.00

00:19:51.000 My wife is under 5 feet tall. 1.00

00:19:52.000 But this woman was like wrestling with a toddler. 1.00

00:19:55.000 She failed every single academic exercise.

00:19:57.000 There were things that were non-failable.

00:19:59.000 They let her go to the last 4 weeks and she was removed from the academy for failing to do everything.

00:20:05.000 Doing crazy stuff and saying crazy things.

00:20:07.000 They removed her. 0.59

00:20:08.000 She went back up to the FBI's field office in New York.

00:20:11.000 Do you know what she does now?

00:20:12.000 Secret service, secret service.

00:20:13.000 Correct.

00:20:14.000 She was sent to FLETC, and they were able to rehire her.

00:20:16.000 So they're hiring some people that have absolutely no business in being there, and we saw some of that.

00:20:19.000 And I will say this, too.

00:20:21.000 I know somebody who's a very smart person, but they have no experience with guns.

00:20:26.000 And we went to a range, and I would make the assumption, based on just understanding the mechanisms of a gun by looking at it, that a reasonably smart person would not do this.

00:20:38.000 Oh, she got the slide?

00:20:39.000 And then... And it was actually scary because... It's a good way to get hurt!

00:20:44.000 She put her hand over the gun like this, and held for about a second, two seconds, and then that's when I noticed and screamed, and then she took her hands, pointed down, and I was like, holy crap. 0.92

00:20:54.000 So this gal that we're talking about, she didn't hold on to a shotgun while sending Buck a shotgun. 0.98

00:20:59.000 It just went up in the air.

00:21:01.000 And, you know, I almost watched one of my buddies catch buckshot in the side of the head because they're standing on a common firing line.

00:21:06.000 That assumes that you're going to be pointing in a safe direction, not letting it go like this.

00:21:10.000 It took her 15 minutes to do a two-minute driving course. 0.76

00:21:12.000 So these kind of people, if you're going to take them in, and it just turns out that she was a military veteran, even though she was the weakest one I've ever seen, she was a Hispanic female, so you have three things that they are checking in these boxes. 1.00

00:21:23.000 And if you are going for these types of what we would call diversity hires, or whatever you want to call it, When that person is getting hired on and they're making every excuse, there is more flexibility for screw-ups than you would ever imagine.

00:21:35.000 It does defy credulity, but still, they're out there.

00:21:37.000 I realize that some people are just listening, and then explain.

00:21:40.000 What I was describing is holding the gun by putting your left hand over where the slide

00:21:45.000 is, and if you pull the trigger, that's going to, it's probably going to rip your thumb

00:21:49.000 back, break it, or...

00:21:50.000 Yeah, a lot of people have what they call a slide bike, so they get their hand too high

00:21:53.000 up on it.

00:21:54.000 Competitive shooters get it, but if you're screwing it up, then yeah, you lose pieces of skin.

00:21:57.000 Well, I think if you put your hand over the slide and pull the trigger... Yeah, you might break a finger or... Yeah, break your thumb or something.

00:22:02.000 Metacarpals or something.

00:22:03.000 But this is just for people who don't have the experience.

00:22:05.000 Now, these are the kind of people who are going to be brought in, and they're just standing around...

00:22:09.000 30% of my class when I went through in 2016 had never held a firearm before.

00:22:13.000 Now, I'm 35 at the time, so I'm a little bit older, but I feel like if you sign up to be an FBI agent, you maybe have gone to a range once just to check it out.

00:22:21.000 I do believe that this country is facing a managerial crisis, and a large component is COVID.

00:22:29.000 With all the mass retirements that happened, a lot of people who weren't prepared to take the next step or the next role, they shouldn't be there.

00:22:37.000 What is this called?

00:22:39.000 Is it the Peter Principle?

00:22:40.000 Mm-hmm.

00:22:40.000 That when people get promoted... Yeah, there's a mean way of saying it, but essentially you're promoted to the level of your incompetence.

00:22:45.000 Right.

00:22:45.000 You're really good in the mailroom, so you get a promotion to, you know... Look, they do this in police... ...from other offices you can't handle.

00:22:51.000 This is the thing that happens in law enforcement in general.

00:22:53.000 Nobody can tell me that the best patrol officer on the street, that is the best at stopping drunk drivers and handles people efficiently and drives safely, is also going to be the best detective.

00:23:04.000 There's probably some overlap in that skill set.

00:23:06.000 But just because you did a great job on the street on patrol does not mean that you're great investigators.

00:23:12.000 And vice versa. 0.99

00:23:13.000 There are some investigators that are brilliant, but they should never leave the office because they're morons when they go talk to people. 0.99

00:23:18.000 And I work with those folks. 0.99

00:23:19.000 It's like, don't let them talk to human beings.

00:23:21.000 They're weird.

00:23:22.000 I'll just say, I think the story they've given us, the only thing I'm willing to accept with this story is that the details they give us to the media are wrong because the media lies all the time.

00:23:33.000 There's more... When we get to the story with the FBI... I'm going to pull that up right now.

00:23:37.000 There's some things in there that I'm going to show you that overlap, I think.

00:23:40.000 So I'm saying, as of right now, based on the stories we've gotten from the press and the body camera footage, I do not believe it is realistic or reasonable to conclude this was incompetence.

00:23:51.000 But let's jump to the story from the post-millennial, which should remove all doubt!

00:23:55.000 FBI allowed suspect arrested for plot to assassinate Trump into U.S.

00:23:59.000 despite being on terror watch list.

00:24:01.000 Report.

00:24:02.000 Okay, there you go.

00:24:03.000 So, for all of those of you out there who are wondering about what happened on July 13th, let me read the headline for you again.

00:24:10.000 FBI allowed suspect arrested for plot to assassinate Trump into the U.S.

00:24:15.000 despite being on terror watch list.

00:24:17.000 This is a much bigger story, and it tells of a much bigger problem that goes back at least 20, maybe 25 years.

00:24:24.000 If you give me a little bit of leeway, I'll explain why these things lead me to think what went on with Thomas Crooks is a little bit more dangerous than what they're saying.

00:24:30.000 Did they bring him in to arrest him, or how long did they allow him— Three months, is what it sounds like.

00:24:34.000 They allowed him in for months.

00:24:35.000 Here's the thing.

00:24:36.000 His visa was sponsored by the FBI field office in Dallas, from whatever we can read here.

00:24:41.000 So people have to understand— He's on the terror watch list, and the FBI brought him in.

00:24:45.000 Allowed him in.

00:24:46.000 But they sponsored his visa.

00:24:47.000 I'm going to tell you why. 0.99

00:24:49.000 And it's dumber than it makes any sense. 0.97

00:24:50.000 I was talking to a guy who's in one of the conservative caucuses, like in a chief of 0.99

00:24:53.000 staff position.

00:24:54.000 He's like, how does this work?

00:24:56.000 And I go, when the FBI charts their progress, they're looking for a thing that are called

00:25:01.000 stats.

00:25:02.000 This is something that all law enforcement, you know, this is like quotas, if you will.

00:25:06.000 And so we need to have stats that say I have X number of cases in this field and I have

00:25:09.000 X number of arrests in this type of category.

00:25:11.000 We're going after MS-13.

00:25:12.000 We're going after organized crime, blah, blah, blah.

00:25:14.000 We're doing these counterintelligence investigations.

00:25:16.000 They have a thing that's called a disruption, which means the plot basically got foiled.

00:25:20.000 And they have a thing that's called a dismantlement, which means that this network was taken apart.

00:25:24.000 And you get more points for a dismantlement than you do for a disruption, if my memory serves.

00:25:28.000 It may be backwards, but I think it's that.

00:25:30.000 So the thing is, is these guys are literally going for gold stars on a board.

00:25:33.000 And you think, okay, well, would they, you know, sacrifice public safety to do this?

00:25:37.000 If they thought they can get away with it safely, they will.

00:25:40.000 And the second thing is the oldest reason that's ever existed.

00:25:43.000 It's greed.

00:25:44.000 The senior executive service in all federal governments, but definitely in the FBI that I was able to experience, they get paid a five figure bonus.

00:25:50.000 It's like between 30 and 50, maybe $60,000 if they hit all their metrics.

00:25:55.000 So they are incentivized to get arrests in certain categories.

00:25:59.000 They're incentivized to do these sort of things.

00:26:01.000 And the other thing that we know, because we had some whistleblowers come to me and my guys, and so I represent a number of different whistleblowers in the FBI, they came out and said, the FBI went so hard on January 6th that they overdid the number of hours that they're allowed to assign to domestic terrorism.

00:26:16.000 Because they have to spread themselves to international terrorism and domestic terrorism.

00:26:20.000 They massively overdid it for DT, which is the abbreviation.

00:26:23.000 Donald Trump?

00:26:24.000 That's right.

00:26:25.000 Same thing.

00:26:26.000 And when they went after these DT cases, they did it so badly that they sent out section chiefs from headquarters to all the field offices regionally and said, listen, we need you to go through all of your domestic terrorism cases and find connections to international terrorism so we can recategorize your hours.

00:26:40.000 Imagine like an attorney bills hours.

00:26:41.000 The FBI assigns the work of an agent against certain types of categories of cases.

00:26:46.000 So they had too many what are called 266 cases.

00:26:48.000 Those are the domestic terror.

00:26:50.000 They needed more 415 cases.

00:26:52.000 And in order to do that, they were like, hey, did you find a dude who is a white supremacist, but he was in a chat room somewhere that later on an Al Qaeda guy went into?

00:26:59.000 Because we can tie them together and make this a 415 instead of a 266. 0.98

00:27:02.000 It's the dumbest thing possible. 0.62

00:27:04.000 But when you understand we're talking about bureaucracy here, here's the scariest part for me. 0.99

00:27:08.000 This has been going on for 20 years.

00:27:10.000 There's a guy named Trevor Aronson who I always reference.

00:27:13.000 He works for The Intercept, so that's not a right-wing source, right?

00:27:16.000 And he's not like a right-leaning dude.

00:27:18.000 He's a reasonable liberal.

00:27:20.000 And he basically has called out the fact that the FBI has been doing this at least since 2006.

00:27:25.000 What they do is they go find people that are otherwise inclined to do dumb things. 0.50

00:27:29.000 And they usually find them online and they say, hey, you want to do dumb and violent things? 0.95

00:27:33.000 We want to help you do that too.

00:27:35.000 And so an undercover or a CHS will go and meet with that person, they will enable their best ideas, they will fund it, and they will push them along until the point where they're ready to go do it, and then it's like, hey, we're gonna give you the gun, and the minute they touch the gun, bam, it's flashbangs at your feet, it's SWAT team, and you're done and you're in cuffs, and now you're facing 20 to life for material support of terrorism.

00:27:54.000 The craziest piece that I've been able to kind of speculate on a Thomas Crooks.

00:27:58.000 Imagine you're Thomas Crooks.

00:27:59.000 You're a 20-year-old.

00:28:00.000 You're hanging out online.

00:28:01.000 You're a skinny dude. 0.50

00:28:02.000 That's where your life is.

00:28:03.000 We don't know enough about his internet persona, right?

00:28:05.000 But there has to be some because of his age and the way that he grew up.

00:28:09.000 That guy, he goes out and meets, let's say, an undercover or a CHS for the FBI.

00:28:13.000 And they start saying, hey, you're really pissed off at Republicans or politicians or whatever.

00:28:17.000 You want to go do something terroristic.

00:28:19.000 I want to help you.

00:28:20.000 How much money you got?

00:28:20.000 I want to help you.

00:28:21.000 I can help you.

00:28:21.000 I can help you get the rifle.

00:28:22.000 I can help you get all the right stuff.

00:28:23.000 I got a guy.

00:28:24.000 I got a friend.

00:28:25.000 Oh, you only have $800, it turns out, for you today.

00:28:27.000 $7.99, my friend.

00:28:28.000 We will hook you up.

00:28:29.000 And that guy decides, you know what?

00:28:30.000 I'm just going to take my dad's rifle.

00:28:31.000 I don't need to wait for this guy.

00:28:32.000 And maybe he listens to some of the people out there talking, saying, the people that are telling you to do violent stuff are probably fed, so you'll get caught. 0.90

00:28:39.000 You know it's a death mission to go shoot at a former president. 0.96

00:28:39.000 Right. 0.96

00:28:42.000 You're not going to walk away from that.

00:28:43.000 Current frontrunner.

00:28:44.000 You're not going to walk away from that experience.

00:28:44.000 Right.

00:28:46.000 You have to assume that's a one-way sort of kamikaze mission.

00:28:49.000 Yeah.

00:28:49.000 So, real quick, you're saying there's a possibility this Crooks guy, they were doing what the FBI does, where they set somebody up, but then he breaks off halfway and goes rogue.

00:28:59.000 How do you assume that you're going to control this person only because you've always controlled people?

00:29:03.000 The story is always the same.

00:29:04.000 When you get complacent, And you get lazy in the type of work you do.

00:29:08.000 For example, if you go and go after pedophiles, what you'll find is that basically 90 plus percent of them are going to turn themselves in when confronted because they're not violent people, at least not to grown-ups.

00:29:17.000 And certainly not to grown-ups like men with guns who have beards.

00:29:20.000 But there's a small percentage of them that will get violent. And the majority of them will be

00:29:24.000 violent to themselves. They will commit suicide. And that's just a thing that they do. That's just 1.00

00:29:27.000 the stats. But a very, very small percent of them, especially if you learn the lesson that most of

00:29:31.000 them will surrender, the rest of them will commit suicide, maybe 1% of that small little group is

00:29:36.000 going to get violent and decide it's a one-way mission, and they'll shoot at you. The FBI learned 0.95

00:29:40.000 that mission or that sort of lesson in 2020 when they had two agents that were shot and a couple

00:29:45.000 others that were... Two were killed and a couple were shot going after a guy that was doing child

00:29:49.000 So it's a real thing that if you get complacent and you do the same thing over and over again, you think that you have control over your guy.

00:29:56.000 And imagine that one of them squirts out.

00:29:58.000 That's what scares me about this, uh, this guy from, uh, Pakistan who was supposedly in the employment of Iran. 0.94

00:30:03.000 The FBI let him in, and then they supposedly had him under 24-7 surveillance for like three months.

00:30:09.000 And here's the thing.

00:30:10.000 I did that for a living. I used to fly around the country and watch people. We would do it eight

00:30:14.000 hours a day, three different shifts. And I've seen legit, credible terrorist sources who were

00:30:19.000 buying guns and doing training and doing scary stuff that you're like, oh, this guy should really

00:30:23.000 be watched. And I've seen the exact field office that this was working out of the New York field

00:30:27.000 office, phone it in. They have literally met at a pizza parlor in a state that I'm not going to say,

00:30:32.000 where they hung out together and didn't follow the terrorist subject, even though that I knew

00:30:36.000 the terrorist subject was running around because we had a poll cam on their house.

00:30:39.000 So I wonder how many instances there are then where someone will commit a murder or a crime

00:30:44.000 and it was the FBI's fault, but they just wash their hands, get rid of the evidence.

00:30:48.000 Are you going to claim it? I mean, here's the thing.

00:30:50.000 You say, don't look at me.

00:30:50.000 It's in a source room. And this is the problem with the transparency issues that we have with

00:30:54.000 the Bureau. And it's the issue that my buddies and I bring up all the time. That's why we're

00:30:57.000 not really comfortable with them doing the investigation of the Trump shooting. It's

00:31:00.000 not that they don't have the competency. It's that they don't feel that they're responsible to you

00:31:04.000 and me and any other taxpayer. They're out there going, listen, this is a federal matter.

00:31:09.000 We don't answer to individual places.

00:31:11.000 Unlike your local, you know, you could vote out a sheriff.

00:31:14.000 You could probably vote out your town council.

00:31:16.000 You don't vote out the director of the FBI.

00:31:19.000 You definitely don't get rid of the deputy director, who's the number two.

00:31:22.000 That's really the power behind the throne.

00:31:23.000 There's a direct line between Chris Wray and Paula Bate. 1.00

00:31:26.000 And Paula Bate is, you know, he's a woke dude.

00:31:28.000 I don't want to speculate things, but I've heard significant Significant, reasonable rumors that he got one of his employees pregnant.

00:31:35.000 He was into BLM stuff.

00:31:37.000 He had, you know, women whispering in his ear all the way through.

00:31:39.000 They made apologies for what happened in 2020 when they were, like, kneeling for BLM.

00:31:44.000 That was in my field office.

00:31:45.000 I knew the agents that did that.

00:31:46.000 And they all got excused because there is that at the top of the FBI.

00:31:50.000 And he said at one point, if you're not interested in going after people for January 6th, you need to find a new job.

00:31:54.000 So one individual said, Hanlon's Razor.

00:31:57.000 And I'm just like, Hanlon's razor, for those who don't know, is never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

00:32:03.000 Sorry, this can't be explained by incompetence.

00:32:05.000 Some of it can.

00:32:08.000 The question is, where is that line?

00:32:10.000 Anyway, you were about to say something.

00:32:11.000 I was going to ask if you can talk more about how the quotas are set.

00:32:15.000 Like, is this set by Congress through budget requirements, or is it just, you know, whoever's at the top of the totem pole is like, I think we need to have this many domestic terrorism cases.

00:32:23.000 Do you know what the self-licking ice cream count is?

00:32:27.000 It's that thing from Texas, that drag show and kids?

00:32:29.000 This is what government does.

00:32:31.000 Like there's a tongue and there's an ice cream cone, and they're on the same thing.

00:32:34.000 So the tongue licks the ice cream and the ice cream is there to be licked by the tongue.

00:32:38.000 The government sets its own situation up.

00:32:40.000 It's the reason why guys like me, we're not adjudicated to be whistleblowers.

00:32:44.000 It's because the government investigated the government and found that the government did nothing wrong.

00:32:47.000 Which part of the government is which one?

00:32:49.000 The FBI determines through a big process called IPM.

00:32:52.000 They decide how many cases they expect to see.

00:32:55.000 And they might as well be throwing darts at a board because there's no way to guess.

00:32:59.000 What they should say is, we want to make sure that these number of probabilities are handled and we're going to flex resources where they need to go.

00:33:05.000 Instead, what they say is, we had 800.

00:33:08.000 Domestic terrorism cases last year.

00:33:10.000 We're gonna have 950, and we're gonna divvy them up to the 56 field offices, and they're all gonna have a piece of it.

00:33:15.000 And when they hit their number, they get a gold star in that category.

00:33:18.000 And if they don't do it, they get a green, and then a yellow, and then a red.

00:33:21.000 And if you can get green and gold across the board, your bonus is made so the head of the field office gets that bonus.

00:33:28.000 So everybody down the chain is incentivized to do it, because if you're a field agent, like I was, like I never cared about this kind of stuff, I think it's dumb, but you see that your boss comes to you and is like, hey, we need to open up these cases.

00:33:37.000 They made us keep cases open That we're like, why am I keeping this open?

00:33:40.000 They're like, you need to do something for your job.

00:33:41.000 And I'm like, shouldn't I do the cases that matter?

00:33:44.000 No, you should do the cases that you have.

00:33:46.000 And that is a very different mindset than what people assume.

00:33:47.000 You know, I just thought of something.

00:33:49.000 I have a question.

00:33:50.000 You know, the Gretchen Whitmer case, right?

00:33:53.000 Set up.

00:33:54.000 So you had a bunch of like, you know, derpy guys had no idea what's going on, and then you get these informants, and FBI agents were actually directing what these guys were doing.

00:34:04.000 Am I correct in that?

00:34:06.000 It's been a while.

00:34:06.000 Yeah, agents and undercovers.

00:34:08.000 I'm sorry, and sources, rather.

00:34:10.000 Right.

00:34:10.000 So what would happen?

00:34:12.000 If there are 16 guys, 12 of them are either informants or a couple of them are actual agents, and they're talking about and doing all the stuff, and then one of the guys, who's the Marx, records what they're saying, goes to the press and says, the FBI is planning to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, I have proof, and gives them the recordings and the names of the guys.

00:34:32.000 It's literally an FBI agent plotting the kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer.

00:34:34.000 Sure.

00:34:35.000 What would happen if the New York Times came out and said, we've uncovered a plot of FBI agents to kidnap a politician?

00:34:43.000 That's all about target selection.

00:34:45.000 What I mean is, when the event is allowed to continue to some point, the FBI then goes, aha, you're under arrest!

00:34:52.000 But they were the ones who were actually doing the plot.

00:34:55.000 If the plot was interrupted midway through by journalists, real ones, or by some kind of whistleblower who uploads the video footage and says, this guy's an FBI agent and he wants to kidnap Whitmer, How do they get out of that?

00:35:05.000 No, no, we were trying to set them up.

00:35:07.000 Here's the funniest thing, because you had all these people that were really, really upset about Donald Trump getting immunity for official acts.

00:35:13.000 There's a thing that's referred to as otherwise illegal activity.

00:35:17.000 Okay?

00:35:18.000 Otherwise, illegal activity is a sign-off that is delegated from the President down to the Attorney General, down to the United States Attorney's office in whatever area you're in, and then your assistant United States Attorney, which is your prosecutor, your line prosecutor for the federal government, says, yes, you can sell drugs.

00:35:32.000 You can be an undercover- because you can't sell drugs to somebody.

00:35:34.000 But you're saying someone at the highest level of the FBI signed off on an agent- It doesn't have to go.

00:35:37.000 It gets delegated all the way down.

00:35:39.000 But that's where the chain of custody goes through.

00:35:41.000 So what I'm saying is- It's delegated authority.

00:35:43.000 If videos appeared online showing actual FBI agents talking about how they wanted to kidnap Whitmer, how does that resolve in the public?

00:35:50.000 Is the FBI going to come out and say, actually, this is a sting operation, don't worry about it?

00:35:54.000 Probably.

00:35:55.000 Yes, but then people are going to be like, holy crap, the FBI was caught actually trying to commit crimes.

00:36:00.000 You can read a whole book on these crimes. 0.92

00:36:00.000 Well, then we get to see their dirty work, really. 0.92

00:36:03.000 You could have journalists there who'd be able to uncover their methods and then judge if it's ethical or not.

00:36:07.000 You can read their methods right now.

00:36:09.000 The book is called The Terror Factory.

00:36:10.000 It's in its 10th anniversary right now.

00:36:12.000 My buddies told me this was required reading to be on the surveillance team I was on, so that we knew that when they hit the panic button and said, we got a terrorist, like Janine in the Ghostbusters, you know, we got one, you'd get the call and you'd be like, okay, let's see what it really is.

00:36:24.000 And you get there and you're like, another one of these.

00:36:26.000 They would act like it was the biggest case ever.

00:36:28.000 And in reality, it's always the same.

00:36:29.000 Some poor sap Who's down on his luck.

00:36:31.000 He's either mentally or physically or emotionally handicapped.

00:36:34.000 Has no other friends.

00:36:35.000 The only friend he has is either a confidential human source or an FBI undercover.

00:36:40.000 And they don't want to let their friend down.

00:36:41.000 That's the only friend they got.

00:36:42.000 And their friend's talking to him to do with terrorism.

00:36:45.000 Gets him sworn into ISIS.

00:36:46.000 I mean, we had undercovers that would go in and swear in to Al Qaeda, swear allegiance to ISIS.

00:36:50.000 And they'd be like, I'm 100% in.

00:36:52.000 Let's go do this.

00:36:52.000 And the second the guy does the thing, like put money down on the table to buy fill in the blank gun or explosives or take your pick. It's

00:36:59.000 bam, they're captured and then they go and then they face those charges. Here's a really wild one

00:37:04.000 because we actually worked on this in Tampa and this will hurt people's feelings because this is

00:37:07.000 actually a there's no winner in this.

00:37:09.000 There was a guy who was legitimately psychotic and the agents who were running the case said

00:37:14.000 that he was psychotic to me as I was doing that work. They were like, yep, he hasn't slept in

00:37:20.000 He wakes himself up every 45 minutes, he prays the Quran until he cries, and he is nuts.

00:37:25.000 He gets in his car, he drives 110 miles an hour, he drives by the Pulse nightclub, which was like an hour and 30 minutes away, because he's really excited about Omar Mateen. 0.98

00:37:32.000 He's totally crazy.

00:37:33.000 They also said, you're probably not going to be able to take him alive.

00:37:36.000 And that was the first time I've ever heard anyone say that. 0.98

00:37:37.000 They're like, you're probably gonna have to kill this guy.

00:37:39.000 And I'm like, look, we're capable of doing that, but I've never heard someone say that. 0.96

00:37:42.000 By the way, he went in like a baby, like all of them do, when you throw a flashbang at their feet.

00:37:46.000 He just, he was arrested without incident.

00:37:48.000 The crazy thing is, his sister actually turned him to the FBI and said, There's something wrong with my brother.

00:37:54.000 He's doing something really dangerous.

00:37:55.000 This is in Florida, in Tampa, so they have the Baker Act there.

00:37:58.000 But everybody has these kind of, like, potential for putting people into a 72-hour cycle.

00:38:04.000 So they brought it to the FBI.

00:38:05.000 They made her what they call a cooperating witness, okay?

00:38:08.000 And two members of the family basically were trying to help this guy get out of this trouble.

00:38:12.000 Instead, the FBI set him up, bought an eBay account for $25,000, tried to sell him guns through eBay.

00:38:19.000 They took over that account from the seller and then started, like, trying to send him guns.

00:38:22.000 This is after the sister has come to them and said, like, he has serious issues.

00:38:25.000 Correct.

00:38:26.000 And then they ended up getting the guy into custody by getting him to buy, like, a suppressed Glock and a baby AK, whatever he was calling it.

00:38:31.000 It's like a Draco or something.

00:38:32.000 And at the end of the day, he does all this stuff.

00:38:35.000 He gets arrested.

00:38:36.000 No problem.

00:38:36.000 His sister felt so betrayed that less than a week after her brother was arrested, she went to the police station wearing her full Islamic garb.

00:38:43.000 It was like a full, like, you know, head to toe.

00:38:46.000 With a 10-inch butcher knife underneath her vestments. 0.99

00:38:49.000 And when a cop came out because she was sobbing and said, ma'am, is there something wrong?

00:38:51.000 Can I help you?

00:38:52.000 She took a stab at the guy, cut him in the arm, and he drew down and he killed her on camera.

00:38:56.000 And you guys can go find the footage.

00:38:58.000 That wasn't the right thing to do?

00:38:59.000 Well, that's what had to happen because she drew a knife. 0.99

00:39:01.000 He didn't know anything about her.

00:39:02.000 I'm saying the woman... 1.00

00:39:03.000 Well, she made a terrible decision.

00:39:05.000 You don't do that.

00:39:06.000 But imagine that you went to the federal government and you're like, look, I'm going to try to help.

00:39:09.000 And you're like, my brother's got these problems.

00:39:10.000 By the way, the kid has a really sad story, too.

00:39:13.000 He was 15 years old and he was put into a terrorist internment camp in Saudi Arabia and tortured for like three or four years before he was released back in the United States.

00:39:20.000 So he's broken and he needed mental health.

00:39:23.000 There's no doubt about it.

00:39:23.000 But the fact is, is the sister who turned to cooperate with the federal government Can I ask you a question?

00:39:28.000 She got killed, so everybody loses.

00:39:30.000 And the federal government gets their prosecution, everybody got their stats, the dude's in jail for 20 to

00:39:35.000 life.

00:39:35.000 I actually offered to the defense attorneys to go down there and testify in that case with what I knew.

00:39:38.000 I'm sure the FBI would have tried to block that, I don't know how that would work, but...

00:39:41.000 Can I ask you a question?

00:39:42.000 How does the FBI decide what is...

00:39:45.000 We should jump to this next story.

00:39:47.000 So this is big news from CNBC.

00:39:50.000 Advertising group suspends brand safety net after Elon Musk's antitrust lawsuit.

00:39:55.000 This is huge.

00:39:57.000 This is garm.

00:39:58.000 GARM started in 2019 in part to help advertisers avoid having their promotions show up alongside content they deemed harmful.

00:40:08.000 A global advertising association said it is suspending the operations of a unit focused on brand safety two days after Elon Musk's company, X, sued the group, alleging it organized an illegal ad boycott.

00:40:18.000 The World Federation of Advertisers, WFA, confirmed Thursday that it would halt its non-profit initiative.

00:40:24.000 This is basically what leftist activists do.

00:40:26.000 ...to control narrative and manipulate people.

00:40:29.000 Well, Rumble also joined the lawsuit, and now it has been dismantled.

00:40:34.000 With Elon Musk buying X, they cannot contend with such a massive, multi-billion dollar platform filing these lawsuits.

00:40:43.000 So, you know, look, we can thank Elon for buying Twitter, turning it into Axe, bringing free speech back to certain degrees.

00:40:51.000 There are certain things that are still bad on the platform, but I think Musk's doing a really great job.

00:40:54.000 And then, there's more than just your right to speak on the platform and getting your account back.

00:40:59.000 For instance, Carl Benjamin, back on the platform after Elon Musk bought it.

00:41:03.000 Now, at the global stage, these advertiser boycotts and this woke machine is failing.

00:41:08.000 Rumble joins in.

00:41:10.000 More companies are now able to push back.

00:41:13.000 They say ex-CEO Linda Iaccarino said in a post on X, this is an important acknowledgement and a necessary step in the right direction.

00:41:19.000 I am hopeful that it means ecosystem-wide reform is coming.

00:41:23.000 So, I mean, huge news.

00:41:26.000 This is also a loss for the WEF, because they were affiliated with Garm as well.

00:41:30.000 It was one of their co-projects.

00:41:31.000 The ad boycotts, the adpocalypse, is how they suppress voices they don't like.

00:41:37.000 They try to remove your ads.

00:41:39.000 They did this to Tucker Carlson.

00:41:41.000 He had something like 16 advertisers, and then they started attacking his advertisers.

00:41:45.000 People started getting scared of the activists and pulling out.

00:41:47.000 Now, the tide is turning, and the advertisers are—this is not even advertisers, these are activist organizations.

00:41:54.000 Advertisers don't care, they want to sell products.

00:41:55.000 This is a cartel, that's what this is.

00:41:57.000 And the cartel is doing—and they're doing a protection racket, right?

00:42:01.000 It's a shakedown.

00:42:02.000 They go and they say, hey, we're willing to bring all of our advertisers who have all signed on to these rules, and if you are going to play ball with us, then we'll bring our advertisers.

00:42:09.000 But otherwise, we'll tell all the people that signed on that they're not going to be allowed Because they've gone into binding agreements under this, and now it's dismantled.

00:42:15.000 So that's good news.

00:42:17.000 Doesn't mean it's going to fix the problem overnight, though.

00:42:18.000 There's still going to be people that are demonetized.

00:42:20.000 There's still going to be platforms that are going to struggle.

00:42:22.000 As long as they can hold out long enough, then maybe these people come back.

00:42:26.000 I think that's the problem, though.

00:42:28.000 For X, there's a lot of cash flow, and you have the attention.

00:42:31.000 But if you're a smaller organization that's trying to start out, having a coalition of people saying, we're going to block advertising from your platform is completely detrimental.

00:42:41.000 In fact, it could be fatal to your business.

00:42:43.000 And they named specific people, too.

00:42:44.000 I mean, they went after a lot of Crowder.

00:42:46.000 Well, now we actually have this story.

00:42:48.000 This is from today as well.

00:42:49.000 Mega supporters on Axe call for Dunkin' Donuts boycott.

00:42:53.000 Go woke, go broke.

00:42:54.000 Dunkin' Donuts told Rumble, according to the story, I'm assuming they're emailing Chris.

00:43:04.000 I would be opposed to showing up on the current version of the platform.

00:43:08.000 The right-wing culture on the site is too polarizing from a brand suitability standpoint.

00:43:12.000 But we are open to continuing discussion as the site evolves.

00:43:12.000 Redacted.

00:43:15.000 I am sorry to share that because I want to help.

00:43:18.000 That's a shakedown.

00:43:18.000 That's a lie.

00:43:19.000 Rumble has a lot of right-wing podcasts on it.

00:43:22.000 That doesn't mean much.

00:43:23.000 YouTube, and there's a bunch of platforms that are far left.

00:43:26.000 Rumble has Street League Skateboarding.

00:43:29.000 They've got a bunch of skateboard stuff.

00:43:31.000 So how about this?

00:43:32.000 Dunkin' Donuts says, if our ads only appear on your skate and sports and gaming stuff, we're cool.

00:43:38.000 We don't want to be on the political stuff.

00:43:40.000 That's totally normal.

00:43:41.000 Instead, they were like, we won't advertise with you at all for this.

00:43:44.000 So now people are calling for a boycott, but here's what's interesting.

00:43:47.000 Apparently, this was specifically about Lauder with Crowder.

00:43:51.000 They say, let me read it, they say, Rumble hosts a variety of controversial right-wing figures, blah blah blah, controversial.

00:43:56.000 Pavlovsky claimed Duncan specifically wanted Rumble to drop right-wing political commentator Steve Crowder.

00:44:05.000 It's Steven Crowder, it's not Ruble, it's Rumble, and it's Pavlovsky.

00:44:11.000 I was really dedicated to this story.

00:44:12.000 Yeah, no more, again, editor problems.

00:44:14.000 The thing that's really sad is whenever you have, if you run an online business, you can opt out of advertisers that are going to bring you, like ad agencies will come to you and say, Hey, we want to advertise on your podcast, on your program, whatever it is.

00:44:24.000 And you'll say, okay, cool.

00:44:25.000 Listen, I don't do metal sponsors.

00:44:28.000 I don't do political advertisements.

00:44:29.000 I'm not interested in sports or gambling stuff, online gambling.

00:44:32.000 You can actually tell them, Hey, these are the things I don't want to hear ads from.

00:44:35.000 and vice versa. The advertisers can say, I'm not interested in political podcasts. I'm only

00:44:39.000 interested in girls in bikinis playing video games. And like, there's a ton of that on Rumble. 0.91

00:44:42.000 So you can pick what it is that you want to go and advertise on. Like you said,

00:44:45.000 you can be very selective about how these ads run. So this is this is nonsensical. It's a shakedown.

00:44:49.000 I do think it's really funny that the reason Rumble reached out to Dunkin Donuts is because

00:44:55.000 the sponsor reads and ads on Rumble that they oversample coffee. And it's because coffee is

00:45:04.000 is an easy product for people to sell for merch for their brand or whatever.

00:45:07.000 So a lot of people, you name a brand, they've started selling coffee.

00:45:14.000 It's an easy product to sell.

00:45:16.000 So if you've got a podcast.

00:45:17.000 It's consumable.

00:45:18.000 It's everyday.

00:45:18.000 Everybody loves coffee.

00:45:20.000 The reason we launched coffee is partially why we have Casper is partially because coffee is easy and everybody loves coffee, but it's also because we want physical location.

00:45:28.000 So the actual intent was we bought a building first.

00:45:31.000 We were trying to open up a coffee shop.

00:45:33.000 It's taken a year and a half.

00:45:34.000 Permits are moving forward.

00:45:35.000 We're really excited about this.

00:45:36.000 And so we're like, we'll launch the website and sell the coffee first.

00:45:40.000 That way we're sponsoring ourselves.

00:45:42.000 This is what most people do.

00:45:43.000 So Chris is like, people on this website sell a lot of coffee, let's go to Dunkin' and see if they wanna advertise here because everybody who's watching these shows, they buy a lot of coffee.

00:45:54.000 It's over-indexing.

00:45:55.000 And Dunkin' was like, nah, we don't wanna go where people buy coffee.

00:45:58.000 Which makes no sense.

00:45:59.000 You know who I think about when I think about right-wing people that drink coffee?

00:46:02.000 I think about cops, who spend an awful lot of time in Dunkin' Donuts because it's what's open when you're working late hours.

00:46:08.000 Oh dude, if cops start boycotting Dunkin', You're talking about a million people that are sworn officers in this country.

00:46:13.000 You see a huge chunk of them lean, at least to the, they lean generally conservative because they care about law and order.

00:46:19.000 And they also sort of lean towards liberty.

00:46:21.000 You hope.

00:46:21.000 There's some fascists out there, obviously, but mostly these people want to see people be able to be free.

00:46:26.000 That's what they say.

00:46:26.000 That's what their hand in the air says when they sign on.

00:46:29.000 So yeah, I'd like to see a million cops saying, you know, they did this to Starbucks a little bit.

00:46:33.000 And so the alternative was Duncan.

00:46:35.000 If Duncan wants to get on that bandwagon, there's other places.

00:46:37.000 So, I mean, this isn't part of the advertising cartel.

00:46:38.000 It's just, this is what the companies do.

00:46:40.000 Now, here's what I love.

00:46:41.000 Companies like Dunkin' Donuts think they can bully us, and what I'm asking you tonight

00:46:44.000 is to stick together and turn Dunkin' Donuts into Bud Light.

00:46:47.000 If you have any fight left in you, let's trend Boycott Dunkin' Donuts.

00:46:51.000 So I mean, this isn't part of the advertising cartel.

00:46:56.000 It's just this is what the companies do.

00:46:58.000 Now here's what I love.

00:47:00.000 Ryan Long nailed this in one of his comedy bits.

00:47:04.000 And I wanna see if I can- Let me see if I can, uh... Pull this one up.

00:47:09.000 I'm not sure exactly what he titled the video.

00:47:13.000 But it's a, uh, let's see, left-wing vi- here we go.

00:47:15.000 We're gonna take a quick break.

00:47:17.000 I'm gonna show you a clip from Ryan Long, so you can understand, uh, what's going on.

00:47:21.000 Here to tell you about our sponsors.

00:47:22.000 We're gonna take a quick break here to tell you about our sponsors.

00:47:25.000 Now this episode is brought to you by Bunker Vitamins, the w- So Ryan Long is playing The Patriot Hour, and then he's got, uh, I'm not sure what- is that- who is that?

00:47:33.000 Is that, uh... I forgot.

00:47:35.000 I don't know.

00:47:36.000 I can't tell who that is.

00:47:37.000 Nathan Cox, it says the Comrade cast, but it's not his real name.

00:47:41.000 So, when Ryan Long talks, he's the Patriot, our right wing, and the leftist is the other guy.

00:47:46.000 Now, this episode is brought to you by Bunker Vitamins.

00:47:48.000 The world is ending, folks.

00:47:49.000 You're gonna want all the nutrients that you can get.

00:47:51.000 Alright, Comrades, this next segment is brought to you by Monsanto and PepsiCo.

00:47:56.000 This is the Anti-Critical Race Theory Cup.

00:47:58.000 For those of you who hate propaganda, you're gonna love drinking out of this.

00:48:00.000 And that tax-the-rich moment was brought to you by Amazon and China National Petroleum.

00:48:05.000 This is just a mug that says liberals are bad.

00:48:08.000 Angie's List and Chase Banks.

00:48:10.000 Folks, I can't wait to tell you about this new product, Freedom Water.

00:48:12.000 Now this is just a jug of water for those who love freedom.

00:48:15.000 Good old-fashioned American H2O.

00:48:17.000 Citadel and Berkshire Hathaway.

00:48:19.000 January 6th, commemorative Patriot Plungers.

00:48:23.000 Now, if you use the promo code ELECTIONSSTOLEN... This podcast is also a collaboration with Netflix Podcast Studio, HBO, and Hulu.

00:48:30.000 Now, this is Second Amendment computer paper here.

00:48:32.000 It's just a blank sheet of paper for those out there that love the Second Amendment.

00:48:35.000 State Farm Insurance, if you want to save.

00:48:37.000 This is a Patriot pillow, folks.

00:48:38.000 As you know, the Civil War is about to happen.

00:48:40.000 You're going to want a good night's sleep first.

00:48:42.000 10 Reasons Why You Should Get Boosted, brought to you by... Pfizer.

00:48:49.000 This is the funny thing and the reason why I bring this up.

00:48:52.000 Dunkin' Donuts would have no problem, none of these companies would have any problem advertising on any leftist show.

00:48:58.000 They would never say that.

00:49:00.000 YouTube is leftist, Facebook is leftist, and none of these advertisers are like, well, you know, the left-wing bias on your platform is a problem for us.

00:49:07.000 I just don't think the transgression will be big enough to really anger the MAGA overlords enough.

00:49:13.000 Before with the Bud Light, it was the transgenders, and you know, that really gets the people going. 1.00

00:49:18.000 This, sending an email saying you want to advertise with them, it doesn't equate to that transgender culture war, electrocuted rail of really getting everybody going. 1.00

00:49:27.000 This is just kind of...

00:49:29.000 Because how many companies are not even responding to these emails, right?

00:49:32.000 Like, at least Duncan is sort of saying, like, this is why we can't do it.

00:49:35.000 I bet there are tons that they reach out to who just, like, quietly delete the email from Rumble.

00:49:39.000 and apparently we're not going to boycott them because we don't know who they are.

00:49:42.000 Frankly, nice of them to respond. I see Cat Turd is leading the way on all the boycotts or anybody

00:49:48.000 who crosses the line against MAGA. I think he did something similar to Kyle Rittenhouse. So

00:49:53.000 now if you cross the line, Cat Turd is number one. We'll put you in the struggle session,

00:49:57.000 the MAGA struggle session coming from Cat Turd. Yeah, they struggle sessioned Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:50:01.000 That was a mistake.

00:50:02.000 Now they're putting Dunkin Donuts in there with him.

00:50:03.000 I'm okay with the Dunkin Donuts one.

00:50:05.000 Yeah, I'm okay.

00:50:06.000 Yeah, I could do my rest of my entire life with never having another Dunkin Donuts.

00:50:09.000 Dunkin Donuts was like the only chain in town.

00:50:12.000 It's a very small town I grew up in.

00:50:13.000 So I have a strong affinity for it.

00:50:15.000 But that being said, there are so many local coffee companies like coffee is an easy thing to buy smaller than than from a big national chain.

00:50:23.000 I'd rather have no coffee.

00:50:23.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:50:24.000 I don't drink coffee.

00:50:25.000 I don't understand.

00:50:26.000 I mean, I'll drink coffee every day, but I'd rather have no coffee than Dunkin' Donuts coffee.

00:50:30.000 Same thing for Starbucks, by the way.

00:50:32.000 Well, I give Starbucks like a C+.

00:50:34.000 Because you like burned stuff?

00:50:36.000 Well, that's why I give them a C+, because it's not always that bad.

00:50:42.000 They always hate cops, and they always kind of hate people on the right.

00:50:45.000 Well, as a corporation, it's no good.

00:50:46.000 I'm just saying in terms of their coffee. 1.00

00:50:48.000 I think it's garbage. 1.00

00:50:49.000 All their drinks are garbage. 1.00

00:50:51.000 Don't go to Dunkin Donuts. 1.00

00:50:53.000 Brew your coffee at home.

00:50:53.000 It's not good for you.

00:50:56.000 I mean, they serve donuts and then a lot of people go get their other sugary garbage drinks like 50 grams of sugar, all their gross syrups. 0.52

00:51:04.000 That stuff's unhealthy for you. 0.94

00:51:05.000 Boycott Dunkin' Donuts for your health, not because of this particular cat turd tweet.

00:51:10.000 Yeah, you shouldn't be eating these donuts, man.

00:51:13.000 I hear these stories all the time.

00:51:15.000 They are people who are like, when I go to Europe, when I'm outside of America, I eat bread and I feel fine.

00:51:19.000 I don't gain weight.

00:51:20.000 In the United States, I eat bread and I just instantly gain tons of weight.

00:51:22.000 It's the binders.

00:51:24.000 Is that with binders?

00:51:25.000 Yeah, so they're commercial binders that make them shelf stable for longer.

00:51:27.000 My wife bakes bread.

00:51:28.000 We've gone like the full like trad life thing.

00:51:30.000 My wife makes sourdough now.

00:51:31.000 So it's...

00:51:32.000 Ooh, sourdough.

00:51:32.000 Does she sell it?

00:51:33.000 What's up?

00:51:34.000 You guys have a bakery?

00:51:35.000 We do not have a bakery.

00:51:35.000 We have a home and we have a bunch of kids running around.

00:51:37.000 But you like, you get imported foreign flour?

00:51:40.000 She has, uh, she uses either King Arthur or something organic from Costco.

00:51:44.000 We buy in bulk.

00:51:44.000 We go through seriously like 20 pounds of flour at a very fast clip.

00:51:48.000 The other day she was like, hey, do we have a, where's that 10 pound bag?

00:51:50.000 And I'm like, I don't know.

00:51:51.000 Any seed oils in that bread or?

00:51:53.000 No, dude, come on now.

00:51:54.000 And we use, you know, like really good butter that's grass-fed butter, you know, from good brass-fed cows.

00:51:59.000 But the end of the day is those commercial binders are the thing that are really ugly.

00:52:02.000 If you go eat, let's say, French bread in Paris, you can run on a baguette like all day long and you're not going to feel the same way as if you were to go get one that's coming from like a Safeway or, you know, whatever.

00:52:11.000 What other stores are out there?

00:52:12.000 Publix?

00:52:12.000 I'm trying to think of HEB.

00:52:14.000 I'm working my way across the nation.

00:52:17.000 But as you do those, those will sit on the shelf for days, and they'll last in your house for days.

00:52:22.000 Sourdough's good for a day, day and a half, two days, and then it's really good for croutons after that, because that's how it's supposed to be.

00:52:29.000 Let's check.

00:52:30.000 While we're here, and we're talking about whether or not anyone should boycott Dunkin' Donuts, we've got the product name, Buttermilk Donut.

00:52:37.000 And it says, Ingredients, Buttermilk Cake Donut Mix, Enriched Wheat Flour, Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamin, Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid.

00:52:47.000 Oh, that doesn't mean a lot.

00:52:49.000 Sugar, Soybean Oil, Powdered Buttermilk, Dry Egg Yolk, Leavening.

00:52:53.000 Let's see, pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, modified food starch, soy flour, soy lecithin.

00:53:01.000 That's just baking soda.

00:53:02.000 What's konjac flour?

00:53:04.000 I don't think it's pronounced konjac flour, is it?

00:53:07.000 Palm oil.

00:53:08.000 It's the natural flavors for me.

00:53:09.000 Cornstarch.

00:53:11.000 Cellulose, gum, potassium sorbite.

00:53:14.000 There's a little bit of bad stuff in there.

00:53:16.000 That's going to go bad a lot faster than some of the other products.

00:53:18.000 And donuts go bad too.

00:53:19.000 Anybody who's ever eaten donuts at Dunkin' at night when you go in and they baked them in the morning?

00:53:24.000 It's an inferior product.

00:53:25.000 You can't just throw them out at night.

00:53:26.000 They have to.

00:53:26.000 They're a deal.

00:53:27.000 But that's good.

00:53:27.000 Yeah, you want that.

00:53:30.000 Right.

00:53:32.000 When the donuts get stale and are bad, that's good.

00:53:34.000 When the McDonald's sits on the shelf for five years and doesn't mold, I got questions.

00:53:38.000 The Twinkies that never change at all.

00:53:40.000 Right.

00:53:40.000 As the thesis states, food is supposed to go bad.

00:53:43.000 It's supposed to go bad.

00:53:44.000 It just means that there's other things eating it.

00:53:47.000 And if they can't eat it...

00:53:48.000 You've killed them all because the food is toxic.

00:53:50.000 It doesn't allow the other things in the world. 0.92

00:53:52.000 You shouldn't eat it because your micro gut is going to get destroyed.

00:53:54.000 Feels like every few months there's a new boycott.

00:53:56.000 Think to boycott for another reason.

00:53:58.000 Are you into that?

00:53:58.000 You want to boycott stuff?

00:53:59.000 No, I like buying things.

00:54:01.000 What's your favorite boycott? 1.00

00:54:02.000 I'm a dirty, filthy capitalist. 0.99

00:54:04.000 I see something I like. 1.00

00:54:05.000 I want to throw my money at it.

00:54:06.000 I like organic boycotts.

00:54:07.000 So what would make you boycott somebody?

00:54:10.000 What would make me boycott something?

00:54:11.000 You know, impulsively, I want to say the Israel-Palestine conflict, but even then, it's actually not true, because I love eating at Lebanese and Palestinian restaurants.

00:54:21.000 Whenever I travel a lot for work, and I love Middle Eastern food, and there won't be a lot of Israeli restaurants in Random Area, but a lot of Lebanese, a lot of Palestinian restaurants.

00:54:31.000 Would you boycott Dunkin' Donuts if they launched a promotional From the River to the Sea campaign, where if you sing the song, they'll give you 10% off?

00:54:38.000 You know, if I were to be inclined to buy Dunkin' Donuts products, then yeah, I wouldn't be suede otherwise.

00:54:44.000 It's just, you know, the bottom line is if I want your product, I'll buy it.

00:54:47.000 And I'm not arrogant enough to think my individual dollar will make a difference, but maybe those very influential Jews with a lot of shekels would. 0.89

00:54:55.000 So that would be the... All right, let's get to the political news.

00:54:57.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Trump says... I'm the Jude Cross, but not the other stuff.

00:55:00.000 From ABC News, Trump says he has agreed to offer from ABC News to debate Kamala Harris.

00:55:07.000 Trump had previously cast doubt about debating Harris on ABC.

00:55:10.000 Well, they were supposed to debate on Fox News, and then Kamala Harris didn't want to do it, so Trump agreed to her terms, I guess.

00:55:15.000 And this will be on September 10th.

00:55:18.000 I know we're all excited for this.

00:55:20.000 I don't know, what do you guys think?

00:55:21.000 Harris is apparently not—she hasn't agreed to any of the other debates.

00:55:24.000 Trump wants three.

00:55:25.000 He gave this press conference where he said she's weak.

00:55:28.000 I don't know the press conference earlier today was actually that good.

00:55:30.000 It was not his best.

00:55:33.000 I think he was just trying to generate press coverage.

00:55:36.000 Yeah, I think you're starting to see the Trump campaign go back on the offensive, which I appreciate.

00:55:42.000 I think for a little while, especially with the opening days of the Harris campaign, they were sort of...

00:55:47.000 Naturally having to respond to what was being presented to them.

00:55:51.000 I saw that Harris had tweeted out something like, I see that Trump has finally agreed to the debate, like took him long enough or something like that, which I find so crazy because the original ABC September 10th debate that they had agreed to was Trump-Biden, and I don't understand.

00:56:07.000 It's not the same deal.

00:56:08.000 It's not the same thing.

00:56:09.000 I don't understand why the narrative is like he was backing out of a pre-arranged agreement when Biden backed out first.

00:56:15.000 When you change the terms of the agreement, it's like, all right, $10,000 and I'm giving you this Honda Civic.

00:56:19.000 And you're like, cool.

00:56:20.000 And then you show up and you're like, uh, just kidding.

00:56:22.000 It's a Ford Pinto, but it looks really nice.

00:56:24.000 And you're like, uh, that's not the same deal we agreed on.

00:56:25.000 We're going to have to renegotiate the price.

00:56:26.000 We're going to have to renegotiate the details.

00:56:28.000 I'm going to want a warranty.

00:56:30.000 Like it's a different thing.

00:56:31.000 You brought in someone completely new who, by the way, didn't get any primary votes, but you brought in a totally different animal.

00:56:37.000 Of course you're going to renegotiate.

00:56:38.000 It's absurd to think otherwise.

00:56:39.000 This is what I think is so strange about the Kamala Harris campaign in general, which is that she's walking this line of, like, I'm going to carry the Biden legacy and also, like, I am a new different person.

00:56:49.000 On day one, I'm going to do something new.

00:56:50.000 If you didn't like what he did, I'm not doing that.

00:56:52.000 But if you liked it, that was all me because I'm on that ticket.

00:56:55.000 This is just back and forth that's going to make me personally crazy through November.

00:56:59.000 But I totally agree with you.

00:57:00.000 I mean, if, you know, I thought I was voting for you in a lot and suddenly Serge and some other random guy, Serge being our producer, showed up, I would be sort of frustrated because it wasn't the same ticket, even if you guys are claiming to be part of the same party.

00:57:12.000 You totally switched your chip, like the meme.

00:57:15.000 When you got the new chip in, then you'd be ready to go.

00:57:17.000 But the other part of this is really, I think that Trump being like, So she had said, I thought you said anytime, anywhere, which I'm pretty sure that's what Biden said.

00:57:17.000 No chips for me.

00:57:31.000 Him coming back and saying, okay, three debates, back to back to back.

00:57:33.000 The fact that he had proposed, I think it was September 5th, this September 10th date, and then September 25th.

00:57:37.000 He is trying to wear Kamala out, which I find fascinating. 0.96

00:57:41.000 He is a much better debater than she is.

00:57:42.000 The more you put her in front of a microphone, the more that you put her to the test, the more you squeeze her, the more you're going to see how weak she is. 0.99

00:57:49.000 She's only got a certain number of canned things, and then it's all cackles after that. 0.77

00:57:52.000 Three quarters of the can is cackles.

00:57:54.000 She's going to run out the first time. 1.00

00:57:55.000 And then any gaffes, any issues that come up, he has another debate.

00:57:59.000 He's got a puncher on it, and he doesn't need notes.

00:58:01.000 He's going to remember because he's got that little, he's got that mental thing.

00:58:03.000 He's like, oh, I see where your weakness is.

00:58:05.000 You don't know how to say things back to these particular points.

00:58:08.000 Were you always interested in Trump?

00:58:09.000 Because you sound supportive of him right now.

00:58:10.000 I don't want to make any assumptions here.

00:58:12.000 I am.

00:58:13.000 I am ambivalent.

00:58:14.000 I am a politically conservative, but I'm not a Republican.

00:58:18.000 And I didn't vote for Trump in 2016.

00:58:19.000 I actually liked Gary Johnson better, mostly because one of my buddies hung out with Gary Johnson.

00:58:24.000 One of my buddies' dad hung out with him.

00:58:26.000 But he got my vote in 2020.

00:58:29.000 And I cannot imagine—I'm not going to vote for a Democrat.

00:58:33.000 I have kids, so that's a no-go.

00:58:34.000 And I don't like abortion, so that's easy.

00:58:38.000 He's not my best candidate, but my best candidate's not running.

00:58:40.000 So I know that— Who is your best candidate?

00:58:42.000 Steve Friend or maybe my buddy Gerardo Boyle, who's been here before.

00:58:42.000 I don't know.

00:58:45.000 Somebody who's got a lot of principle that has never basically screwed up.

00:58:50.000 And those people don't run for president.

00:58:52.000 Trump is the better option by a lot.

00:58:55.000 There's no other person that's going to be able to carry that banner.

00:58:57.000 So that's really easy.

00:58:58.000 I'm not trying to elect a role model for my kids.

00:59:00.000 And that's the thing that I always have to separate.

00:59:02.000 Everybody that's mad about who the person is, right?

00:59:05.000 It's like, dude, it's not a perfect vessel.

00:59:06.000 And by the way, I actually believe in a constitutional republic.

00:59:09.000 I don't think the president should be that important.

00:59:11.000 Like, I think we went off the rails in 1913 for a lot of reasons, and people that are in the chat will be, you know, all amped up about the Federal Reserve, but when we started direct electing senators, I think we went off the rails.

00:59:21.000 We took the situation and we took the infrastructure of this country, and we changed it fundamentally.

00:59:26.000 And I also would like to see all the state houses that are red right now, I'd love to see them just go like, you know what, we don't care about your election, do a general election, say what you want, and then we're going to appoint our electors anyway.

00:59:35.000 Because we're not going to do that.

00:59:37.000 And you would still have a better outcome.

00:59:38.000 Because I don't think the president should be that important.

00:59:40.000 The president is not supposed to be a king.

00:59:44.000 And we keep trying to elect role model, savior, and king, and I just step away from that.

00:59:48.000 I don't want any of that.

00:59:49.000 So anyway, Trump is fine.

00:59:51.000 He's just, the people around him that love him, that I like, I'm respectful of them.

00:59:56.000 I've never spent any time with Trump personally, so I don't have that kind of affection for

01:00:00.000 And I don't do the thing where it's like, oh, I've never met him, but like, he'll fix all the ills!

01:00:04.000 It's like, I don't believe in that either.

01:00:05.000 Well, include one president fix all the ills.

01:00:05.000 Like, I've also been alive long enough.

01:00:07.000 I think so much of this election is going to be sort of righting the ship, like turning it in a direction that you were like- It's going to have to stop the ship tilting.

01:00:07.000 Of course not.

01:00:14.000 Whichever metaphor you want to go for, right?

01:00:16.000 Like, there is something wrong with what our boat is doing and somebody needs to correct it.

01:00:20.000 That's right.

01:00:21.000 We didn't get fat overnight, right?

01:00:23.000 You're not going to take one pill and drop 50 or 60 pounds and suddenly be healthy.

01:00:26.000 What you need to do is stop eating all the things.

01:00:28.000 Whatever it is, you need to stop the hemorrhaging or stop putting on the weight or stop the unhealthy lifestyle.

01:00:33.000 I would like to see a stop on that.

01:00:34.000 And Trump spent a bunch of money.

01:00:36.000 The guy spent a bunch more money than most people would say are conservatives.

01:00:36.000 Let's be real.

01:00:40.000 So I don't put him necessarily conservative, but he did an objectively better job than the alternative.

01:00:45.000 We've seen it.

01:00:46.000 All the excuses they have, they're running away from the record, as you accurately pointed out.

01:00:50.000 She's everything to everything.

01:00:51.000 Kamala's a chameleon.

01:00:52.000 Well, she hasn't even put out a platform yet.

01:00:54.000 Why do you need a platform when you have voters?

01:00:56.000 Well, you keep hearing this term, it's a vibes election.

01:00:58.000 It's a vibes election.

01:00:59.000 People who are voting for Kamala are voting for vibes.

01:01:01.000 And you said earlier, you know, you're not voting for a role model for kids.

01:01:03.000 It reminds me of this adage all the time, like, oh, people want a candidate they would have a beer with.

01:01:08.000 I don't actually believe that's true.

01:01:09.000 I don't need to have a beer with them.

01:01:10.000 I need outcomes.

01:01:11.000 And so I think Dan Bongino said it when he was talking to Tucker Best, and it stuck with me.

01:01:14.000 I'm not interested in politicians.

01:01:16.000 I'm interested in outcomes.

01:01:17.000 Are the outcomes better for me, my family, the people around me, American liberty?

01:01:21.000 Can we get those things going?

01:01:22.000 Well, there's two problems, though.

01:01:25.000 If you're talking about maximizing the amount of votes you receive from 330 million people, every margin counts, you're going to go lowest common denominator.

01:01:31.000 Sure.

01:01:31.000 And that means you're going to want to go on stage and go, freedom!

01:01:36.000 No tax on tips.

01:01:37.000 Well, that's actually a policy.

01:01:39.000 But the problem is, I don't know how you enact it.

01:01:41.000 You got to still get the House.

01:01:42.000 That's the thing people keep forgetting.

01:01:43.000 Like, where are the people saying, like, not only do we need a Trump, we also need them to go ahead and capture the House and maybe the Senate.

01:01:48.000 Theoretically, there are things you could do with the executive, through the executive branch by instructing how things are enforced in terms of law enforcement by saying, we no longer prioritize investigations.

01:02:01.000 That's a policy.

01:02:03.000 Saying, I don't want taxes on tips or for social security.

01:02:06.000 Those are policy plans.

01:02:07.000 I'm saying Kamala Harris is going, freedom.

01:02:07.000 I'm not talking about that.

01:02:10.000 She has no policy plans whatsoever.

01:02:11.000 The second problem is shadow campaign, ballot harvesting.

01:02:15.000 I wish the election was actually about convincing people and giving them outcomes, but it's not.

01:02:19.000 It's about, can you get more pieces of paper with names on them than the other guy?

01:02:22.000 Look at what Seb Gorka put out.

01:02:24.000 He shared it earlier on X, and it was an interview of a bunch of people on the street.

01:02:28.000 They're all women, and one guy that is effeminate, so I won't speculate further than that.

01:02:32.000 But they interview, and they're like, you know, what do you think about Kamala Harris?

01:02:35.000 And they're like, she's doing a great job.

01:02:36.000 She's an awesome vice president. 1.00

01:02:37.000 We're like, really feeling good about it.

01:02:38.000 And they're like, what's your favorite accomplishment?

01:02:40.000 Or like, what do you feel most strongly about that she's done?

01:02:42.000 And they're like, honestly, like, I don't actually know anything about anything.

01:02:45.000 I just have feelings about stuff.

01:02:46.000 And you're right, that's the vibes thing.

01:02:48.000 That is the freedom, that is the no platform.

01:02:50.000 There are people that will still go out and vote.

01:02:52.000 The question is, are they really interested?

01:02:54.000 The polling that I saw from CBS and YouGov essentially said a huge chunk of the Kamala voters are anti-Trump voters.

01:03:02.000 And I don't know how much hate drives people to the polls the second time around.

01:03:06.000 I don't think it moves people as much as the 60% of the people that are like, I'm in for Trump.

01:03:10.000 But also, when Trump is the president during COVID and people are angry, they're going to vote.

01:03:17.000 But again, I don't think that matters.

01:03:19.000 I think Democrats are going to send volunteers to nursing homes and to schools, and they're going to collect universal mail-in votes.

01:03:24.000 And then there's going to be a bunch of people who are like, did I vote?

01:03:26.000 Oh, whatever.

01:03:26.000 I think I did.

01:03:27.000 Who cares?

01:03:27.000 Guess what?

01:03:28.000 The FBI won't investigate it, as we found out in 2020.

01:03:31.000 They've already told us the election crimes they're interested in are all about voter suppression, not about voter fraud.

01:03:36.000 Because they want the Democrats to win.

01:03:37.000 Of course.

01:03:38.000 I mean, this is the case.

01:03:39.000 Because as we heard from, who was it, McCabe, that many of them fear they'll be jailed and not to flee the country if Trump wins.

01:03:46.000 What did you do?

01:03:47.000 Why do you need to be jailed?

01:03:49.000 What did you do there, Andy McCabe?

01:03:50.000 That's the question I always have when you start telling me you're going to get jailed.

01:03:52.000 On this debate stuff, I think one of the important details is that Kamala Harris only agreed

01:03:58.000 to the ABC debate and not the other three that Trump was trying to put forward.

01:04:02.000 That's significant because one of the other ones was supposed to be with Fox News, and

01:04:05.000 Kamala Harris has yet to be asked a serious question about her campaign or any of her

01:04:09.000 political stances on this campaign.

01:04:12.000 And she's only going to media-friendly environments, even down the line, because the debate is

01:04:18.000 scheduled for a month from now.

01:04:19.000 She hasn't agreed to the Fox News debate.

01:04:21.000 The previous one was on CNN.

01:04:23.000 Obviously, the last time the Republicans and Democrats debated, the Democrat dropped out.

01:04:28.000 So I think we're in for an interesting debate.

01:04:30.000 But I don't know, I'm having nightmares of when Trump debated Joe Biden the last time, and they were just yelling over each other.

01:04:36.000 And I just had really uncomfortable feelings come across me.

01:04:38.000 He had a really great debate performance this more recent time.

01:04:42.000 You're talking about 2020 versus before?

01:04:44.000 I think he's got a better sophisticated take on it right now.

01:04:46.000 From watching him, it's way more disciplined than I would expect, which is great.

01:04:50.000 And Kamala's terrible at this. 1.00

01:04:53.000 If you leave dead air, she fills it with weird laughs.

01:04:55.000 If you leave any dead air, she's like the most uncomfortable person.

01:04:58.000 I think she's got some kind of Tourette's syndrome. 1.00

01:05:00.000 It's possible.

01:05:01.000 I'm not being cute.

01:05:02.000 I'm not a doctor.

01:05:03.000 A lot of people hyper-focus on what they think is laughing.

01:05:07.000 I actually think she may be laughing to cover up a tick.

01:05:10.000 So when she talks, what you need to look for is, everybody looks for the, when she goes, heh heh heh, well let me tell you.

01:05:17.000 We need Montel.

01:05:18.000 No, no, you look at the videos.

01:05:19.000 The one video I think is good evidence, and I think people should start investigating this, is when she's saying, stay woke and be more woke.

01:05:26.000 She's not laughing.

01:05:27.000 She goes, I think we need to stay woke.

01:05:31.000 I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:05:32.000 She wasn't laughing there.

01:05:33.000 Then she goes, heh heh heh. 0.82

01:05:35.000 I think the laughing was trying to mask that she was having some kind of, maybe she's having a panic attack, and she's trying to make it seem like she's laughing.

01:05:42.000 Well, she doesn't know what to say.

01:05:43.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:05:44.000 The stay woke thing was a t-shirt.

01:05:45.000 She was just saying something she heard on the t-shirt.

01:05:47.000 She probably saw somebody walk with a shirt that had it on.

01:05:49.000 Right, she's like, stay woke?

01:05:50.000 That's what I should say, right?

01:05:50.000 My brother did that once when he was on Mushrooms.

01:05:52.000 He just said things that he read in front of him.

01:05:54.000 I think we should, uh, somebody should pull up as many videos of her speaking as possible, because people can do this, and look for when she laughs to see how often she's just going, And how often she's talking.

01:06:09.000 I think it's a panic attack or a tick.

01:06:11.000 Kind of like what you see Joaquin Phoenix do in Joker which I just watched on the plane in today.

01:06:19.000 Really uncomfortable stuff where you're like, this could go into a cry, this could go into a...

01:06:22.000 Complete freakout.

01:06:23.000 That's a really good point.

01:06:25.000 If you've seen Joker, Walking Phoenix, he's got this disorder where he laughs uncontrollably at random moments, and then he starts busting out laughing like, and then he covers his mouth and starts crying.

01:06:35.000 It doesn't look right.

01:06:36.000 She's covered it decently.

01:06:37.000 I just think she's utterly untalented at a lot of this stuff, so if it turns out that she's covering something up, none of that matters.

01:06:43.000 Let's say woke video, man.

01:06:44.000 I gotta pull that one up.

01:06:45.000 If she gets in front of Donald Trump and Donald Trump does what he should do, which is be very disciplined, We have to stay woke.

01:06:50.000 lines that he had sitting against Biden. He let Biden kind of ramble on and talk

01:06:53.000 about how they defeated Medicare or whatever the heck it is and he goes, I

01:06:56.000 don't really know what he said and I don't I don't think he knows either. It's

01:06:59.000 like epic. It's like drop the mic. I want to play this clip.

01:07:02.000 Just listen. We've heard it before but really listen. We have to stay woke.

01:07:05.000 Like everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about it if you're the... That's

01:07:11.000 not laughing.

01:07:12.000 That's a massive discomfort.

01:07:14.000 Listen, no one around her is laughing.

01:07:16.000 There's no joke being made.

01:07:17.000 And she goes... And then she's laughing.

01:07:21.000 I think she... ...needs to be woke.

01:07:25.000 And you can talk about if you're... I think she's trying to make it seem like it's laughter.

01:07:28.000 Like you were saying with Joker, when he starts laughing and then he starts crying.

01:07:31.000 Woke-ist or woker, but just a more woke than less woke.

01:07:36.000 She's obviously extremely uncharismatic. 1.00

01:07:39.000 But my biggest concern for Trump would be in the same way that he made Joe Biden, I think, look old and senile.

01:07:45.000 You know, Donald Trump has 20 years on Kamala Harris. 1.00

01:07:47.000 So in a potential matchup, I think Kamala Harris could potentially, you know, the dichotomy between the two, the juxtaposition. 1.00

01:07:54.000 see more energetic, see more young.

01:07:56.000 He can beat that really easily by just being presidential, which is to say, let her talk, let her giggle and cackle, 0.92

01:08:02.000 let her be weird, let her say all the things she says that are basically word salads of nonsense. 1.00

01:08:07.000 The best thing is when she finds a word and then she touches it like seven times like it's the base,

01:08:11.000 she cannot help it.

01:08:12.000 We used to make this analogy, you guys remember the movie, the X-Files movie where Magneto's walking

01:08:16.000 and he's like calling together like a bridge in the air, it's all these pieces of metal and he's walking across it,

01:08:21.000 but it's coming from nowhere.

01:08:22.000 Kamala cancelled the debate? Did she just now? 0.59

01:08:24.000 I think she agreed to the September 10th one with ABC, not the other two.

01:08:28.000 Patrick Webb...

01:08:30.000 I don't know if this is true.

01:08:31.000 Unconfirmed reporting.

01:08:32.000 That's how you cover that.

01:08:33.000 That's easy.

01:08:35.000 Source is in a position to know.

01:08:36.000 She's refusing the other debates.

01:08:37.000 Trump may not do the... She's not going to do the Fox News one. 0.99

01:08:41.000 Right.

01:08:42.000 She wants to do Stay on Friendly Turf, which I don't blame her for.

01:08:45.000 The thing is, Trump is so good on his feet.

01:08:47.000 I mean, I still have confidence in him.

01:08:49.000 He's so good on his feet, and he'll likely have an iconic moment like what he did with Hillary Clinton with the locker room.

01:08:55.000 And I think he is a little bit more unpredictable in terms of what Trump you're going to get.

01:08:58.000 I agree with you.

01:08:59.000 He should be disciplined, you know, but I assume that any Democrat strategist is saying he's going to fly off the handle.

01:09:04.000 He's going to be loud.

01:09:05.000 He's going to try and interrupt you.

01:09:05.000 That's what they thought Biden was going to do to him.

01:09:07.000 But she's sort of a one-trick pony, right? 0.99

01:09:08.000 Like we know how she'll present on the debate stage, that she is, you know, female girl boss here to wag her finger at Trump and say, I am speaking, you know, that's her go-to like got a moment for any kind of, we just saw this the other night with the protesters. 0.99

01:09:22.000 Like she had a planned moment in that for when protests were going to chant at her. 0.89

01:09:22.000 Exactly. 0.89

01:09:27.000 She'll have a planned moment for when Trump inevitably tries to interrupt her.

01:09:31.000 Or who knows, maybe they'll even do the muted mics.

01:09:32.000 She might even like lower her voice and tell us a story because she's a woman making a point. 1.00

01:09:37.000 I hope she whispers.

01:09:38.000 There's only one way for her to present, whereas I actually think Trump is more agile.

01:09:43.000 Part of it is the charisma.

01:09:44.000 He's better on his feet.

01:09:45.000 Part of it is because he's actually very authentic.

01:09:48.000 You are getting whatever Trump you're getting, whereas Kamala is presenting as politician.

01:09:52.000 Think about this though, Donald Trump has basically been attacked more than anybody that I've ever seen in any venue, name it, like it doesn't matter, in the public eye for like a decade.

01:10:01.000 It's pretty hard to take those kind of hits and continuously, like all of this stuff, like he's heard it all before.

01:10:07.000 You're not going to find a new line of attack after a decade of this stuff.

01:10:10.000 So I do think it's interesting to see him go out there, like I said, as long as he kind of just, he can dial it back.

01:10:15.000 He doesn't need They have to campaign on a record, and the record is atrocious, and she's terrible at doing it. 0.99

01:10:20.000 So just let her talk as much.

01:10:21.000 I would give her 90% of the airtime.

01:10:23.000 Let's jump to this.

01:10:24.000 We got a tweet from Mario Nafoli.

01:10:25.000 He says, Joe Rogan endorses RFK Jr.

01:10:29.000 Quote, he's the only one that makes sense.

01:10:30.000 We'll play the clip for you.

01:10:32.000 I don't know if it was like a direct endorsement, but it's basically what Joe is saying.

01:10:35.000 That's politics.

01:10:36.000 They do it on the left, they do it on the right.

01:10:38.000 They gaslight you, they manipulate you, they promote narratives.

01:10:42.000 And the only one who's not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

01:10:46.000 Yeah, I am a fan.

01:10:46.000 You a fan?

01:10:48.000 Yeah, he's the only one that makes sense to me.

01:10:49.000 He's the only one that he doesn't attack people.

01:10:52.000 He attacks actions and ideas, but he's He's much more reasonable and intelligent.

01:10:59.000 The guy was an environmental attorney and cleaned up the East River.

01:11:04.000 He's a legitimate guy.

01:11:06.000 Before anybody started calling him an anti-vaxxer, which I thought he was, I thought he was this nut, this conspiracy theorist nut, until I read his book.

01:11:14.000 I read The Real Anthony Fauci, and I'm like, what?

01:11:19.000 How much of this is real?

01:11:20.000 These health organizations, insane amounts of money, and then also the government is in on it, and also what the number is that these guys made off of these products.

01:11:30.000 Well, okay, I think we hit the point that he was making with RFK Jr.

01:11:35.000 I'll tell you what I really think.

01:11:37.000 I think Joe Rogan cannot endorse Trump.

01:11:40.000 He's going to have to watch out for the tweets from Cat Turd.

01:11:42.000 Cat Turd might be coming after Joe Rogan pretty soon.

01:11:44.000 You don't want that.

01:11:44.000 You don't want that Cat Turd.

01:11:45.000 I think Joe Rogan's audience is too big, and I know a lot of people who are liberals who watch him, and I think Joe's concern is if he were to come out and say, look, RFK Jr.

01:11:57.000 is probably better but can't win, so I think the only other option is Trump because Kamala makes no sense. 0.96

01:12:01.000 He's also in Texas.

01:12:02.000 It kind of doesn't matter who he votes for.

01:12:05.000 I don't think it's that close.

01:12:05.000 down ballot probably. Texas actually is pretty close, especially with a lot of what's going on

01:12:10.000 in Eagle Pass. But that being said, if Joe were to come out and endorse either candidate,

01:12:14.000 he's going to have a massive negative impact on the entirety of his business. And I think

01:12:18.000 he's taken the Michael Jordan route of conservatives buy shoes too, which is play the neutral road.

01:12:24.000 Don't endorse anybody.

01:12:25.000 RFK Jr.

01:12:26.000 is safe because he's not really in the game.

01:12:28.000 And I don't think it's... I don't think Joe has to endorse anybody.

01:12:32.000 Him saying he likes RFK Jr.

01:12:34.000 and he makes the most sense doesn't mean he actually thinks he's the one you should vote for.

01:12:36.000 It's who he is going to be voting for.

01:12:39.000 For those who are considering voting for a third-party candidate, especially if you are in a swing state, you're essentially throwing your vote away.

01:12:47.000 And it doesn't serve any political purpose in that race.

01:12:50.000 It could serve a political purpose insofar as you're saying, you know, here's two or three percent.

01:12:55.000 But in most cases, in all cases, voting for the so-called lesser of two evils is how you actually practice politics in reality.

01:13:03.000 To have a protest vote and Jill Stein or RFK Jr. 0.98

01:13:06.000 or something is a waste of your time and I think a lot of people are voting for third-party candidates, whether it be RFK or, you know, a green ticket candidate or whatever, because they don't actually want to commit to a protest vote.

01:13:20.000 It's sort of, you know, the third way out.

01:13:23.000 You could either cast a vote for someone that you're like, I absolutely hate this person, I'm gonna vote for their opponent, or you could be like, I'm just gonna go stand over here with these other people and watch from afar.

01:13:31.000 I think there's something about youth.

01:13:33.000 So I saw Kyle Rittenhouse get kind of raked over the coals for saying he wants to write in Rand Paul.

01:13:39.000 Ron Paul.

01:13:40.000 Yeah, sorry.

01:13:40.000 Ron Paul.

01:13:42.000 The story is that when you're younger, you have less skin in the game, you don't have kids, you may not be married, you may not make as much income, and so you can be more idealistic.

01:13:50.000 You can be a single-issue voter.

01:13:52.000 You can stand on principles and think it matters.

01:13:54.000 As you get older, you get a little bit more pragmatic, you start realizing that outcomes are a little bit more important, so maybe you have a little bit more skin in the game, you understand maybe you're making more money, and the realistic outcome changes.

01:14:03.000 But I don't want to live in a country where if you say, hey, I don't agree with you politically, I want to vote for somebody else, that we have to cancel you, because that's gross to me.

01:14:10.000 Because I grew up in the 80s, and we didn't do that, and we didn't do that in the 90s either.

01:14:14.000 Like, there were people that were friends that voted for, you know, that didn't vote for Bill Clinton, and they still got along.

01:14:19.000 You don't have to vote for the party that your friends do if we want to live in a reasonable America.

01:14:24.000 And are you looking to Kyle Rittenhouse for political advice?

01:14:28.000 I might look to him for how to use the forward assist on an AR under stress.

01:14:28.000 I'm not.

01:14:33.000 He did a good job with that.

01:14:34.000 But at the end of the day, he's not making any decisions for me.

01:14:37.000 And so I just think it's weird that we go and cancel people over that stuff.

01:14:40.000 I do not believe.

01:14:42.000 That if I were to have a conversation with Joe about the current state of U.S.

01:14:46.000 affairs, that he could logically disagree with me about why Trump is the correct person to vote for.

01:14:53.000 I am not saying Trump is perfect.

01:14:55.000 I am not saying the right does not do the things that Joe is saying they do with gaslighting, whatever.

01:14:59.000 I'm not saying any of that.

01:14:59.000 I'm saying based on the record we saw from Trump in the first place, I did not vote for him in 2016.

01:15:04.000 There's a reason why I voted for him in 2020.

01:15:06.000 And based on where we're at currently, I think the logical conclusion is yet there's no reason to vote for RFK Jr.

01:15:12.000 Donald Trump actually is a marginally net positive president for a lot of reasons in the political landscape.

01:15:19.000 I am saying that anybody who's honestly approaching the issues, the news, and what's currently happening in this country could not reasonably conclude there's anything else to do.

01:15:29.000 That's why my immediate assumption is, and I mean no disrespect, that Joe is just trying to stay neutral to a certain degree.

01:15:36.000 He's saying, I don't want... But also consider this too.

01:15:39.000 Joe's show is a massive red pill for a lot of people, especially with the COVID narrative and the lies.

01:15:45.000 For people who are watching Joe, if he comes out and says Trump, and then instantly they're like, oh, he's a Trump guy.

01:15:50.000 I can't watch his show anymore.

01:15:51.000 All of a sudden now, when Joe tries to tell them the truth, they're not going to want to listen to him.

01:15:54.000 That's right.

01:15:55.000 So it's the smartest thing, probably strategically, business-wise and politically, when you have a show as big as his, to just say, I don't want to be involved in the politics.

01:16:06.000 Listen to what we have to say, because I tell you this, more people have probably voted for Trump and will vote for Trump because of Joe Rogan than anybody else, whether or not Joe says he's going to vote for him.

01:16:18.000 Yeah, he promotes working out.

01:16:19.000 He makes everyone conservative. 0.88

01:16:21.000 He's a fascist, how dare you? 0.96

01:16:23.000 Joe calls out media lies and manipulations. 0.92

01:16:25.000 And then once you start digging into that and you realize you've been lied to, you end up looking into what Trump is actually doing.

01:16:30.000 And I'm not saying every single person who does is going to vote for him.

01:16:32.000 Some people might actually be left and be like, no, I don't like him.

01:16:35.000 But a lot of people will wake up to the fake news and say, they lied about Trump.

01:16:38.000 That wasn't true.

01:16:39.000 I actually don't think he's that bad.

01:16:40.000 And so I think.

01:16:42.000 You know, Joe, Tucker and Joe having the biggest podcast on Spotify is a massive white pill.

01:16:46.000 He touches things so softly.

01:16:47.000 The way that he approaches things are something that nobody else is really doing the way that he does it, and that's why he's been so successful.

01:16:53.000 He doesn't come out and say, hey, I think all these really aggressive things.

01:16:55.000 He says it softly.

01:16:56.000 He says it in a funny way, but...

01:16:58.000 He's made people confront their own beliefs.

01:17:00.000 It's like, hey, you believe this thing?

01:17:02.000 Well, why do you believe that?

01:17:03.000 Let's just turn it on its head and give us a skeptic approach, which is what we should be doing.

01:17:07.000 Approaching people Socratically by asking questions, asking simple questions, and making people evaluate their beliefs.

01:17:13.000 So, I agree with you.

01:17:14.000 He moves people to the right, but basically he moves people into...

01:17:17.000 Asking basic, sort of, if you assume this, if you want to believe this, why do you believe this?

01:17:24.000 And can you justify it?

01:17:25.000 And oftentimes he brings on really interesting guests that kind of tell you other stuff.

01:17:28.000 The weirdest thing I ever heard on Joe Rogan that has changed my mind about something, I don't know if it's true or not, but I listened to Alex Jones and him talking about aliens, And Alex Jones flirting the idea that these could be human time travelers from way in the future that basically don't need a physical body anymore in the same way, so they have huge evolved craniums.

01:17:45.000 And I was like, oh my god, that makes way more sense than anything else that I've heard.

01:17:49.000 It makes way more sense than people coming to spy on us like a petri dish.

01:17:52.000 So I just took that away and I went, cool, now I question what I think about things.

01:17:56.000 It doesn't have to be on any particular thing.

01:17:58.000 If you're willing to question anything that you tell, and you're like, oh, I believe this to be true.

01:18:03.000 Take a moment, evaluate why.

01:18:05.000 If there's something to sort of chip away at that, it makes you flexible, and I think it's good.

01:18:08.000 Yeah, but time travelers... Come on!

01:18:10.000 No, no, it makes more sense that we're in a simulation, which is entertainment for an advanced species that use us to generate... It's basically an AI-generated sitcom.

01:18:20.000 And Donald Trump is the main character.

01:18:21.000 I think RFK Jr.

01:18:22.000 is closer to Trump than he is to Biden, so this is in a way a sort of endorsement of Trump.

01:18:29.000 In policy or in personality?

01:18:31.000 In policy and personality, yeah.

01:18:33.000 And I think there were phone calls between Donald Trump and RFK Jr.

01:18:36.000 in the past of rumors of them potentially working together.

01:18:39.000 Well, there was a leaked phone call where Trump was asking for the endorsement.

01:18:42.000 RFK apparently was like, no, delete it, it's bad, we don't want to do that.

01:18:46.000 I don't know if he's similar in terms of every policy, but I think he is more charismatic than Kamala Harris is.

01:18:53.000 I think it would be a more interesting debate if you had RFK and Trump up, because I actually think they would probably go into policy, whereas it's just going to be a personality clash.

01:19:03.000 I don't like that Joe Brogan has basically not endorsed.

01:19:06.000 I mean, interestingly, he's thrown his weight behind RFK, but I don't want celebrities to endorse people.

01:19:12.000 I don't want people who own businesses that I like to endorse people.

01:19:15.000 And maybe that's a little bit of political fatigue, which I actually think a lot of Americans are feeling.

01:19:20.000 But I don't need to know who someone is.

01:19:24.000 I don't need to know who everyone is voting for, right?

01:19:26.000 There are some people whose advice or whose lifestyles or who something else might be meaningful to you, that they have a good grip on the economy.

01:19:31.000 economy or they're really working hard on an issue that you are passionate about.

01:19:35.000 So knowing who they think is a good candidate would matter.

01:19:37.000 Right. But to your point, one of the cool things about a lot of podcasters, but definitely Joe Rogan, is that it's

01:19:43.000 just about the presentation of information and asking questions.

01:19:46.000 And in some ways, getting him to just be like, I'm not voting.

01:19:49.000 I'm not going to tell you I'm voting for is powerful because it's more about you having to analyze critically

01:19:54.000 the information and its takes on things and use your brain to come to a conclusion as opposed to being told, well,

01:19:59.000 that's who this, you know, star is voting for so obviously you must vote for that person

01:20:03.000 too.

01:20:04.000 And this RFK Jr.

01:20:05.000 again, his impact on this race cannot be overstated.

01:20:08.000 Especially as we're coming closer to November.

01:20:11.000 Trump's clearly concerned because he's having phone calls with him.

01:20:14.000 You have to imagine what's going on on the Democrat side.

01:20:16.000 So these guys are very concerned and he's going to want a lot in return politically

01:20:22.000 to potentially drop out down the line.

01:20:25.000 He probably should down the line and use his political leverage for something as political

01:20:29.000 capital and try to get some sort of position in the Trump administration, help Trump secure

01:20:33.000 a win.

01:20:34.000 If it does go to November and he doesn't drop out, it'll actually severely hurt Trump.

01:20:39.000 The more and more I see from RFK Jr. and the closer to election time we get, yeah, I see

01:20:44.000 more similar.

01:20:45.000 I think the average RFK supporter is more likely to have Trump as a second choice than

01:20:50.000 Kamala Harris.

01:20:51.000 Maybe I'm missing the right foot.

01:20:52.000 I think there are enough people who were...

01:20:53.000 going to default vote for Biden who are unhappy with Kamala, that they will look for a third

01:20:57.000 party candidate, whether it's RFK or someone else. I think that Kamala is not as strong

01:21:02.000 with Democratic base as people would maybe like to believe.

01:21:06.000 It's this vaccine stuff because a lot of Trump's base was very concerned and didn't believe in the

01:21:12.000 had questions about the vaccines. Of course, a lot of Trump's base did. And he was the

01:21:17.000 Operation Warp Speed guy. He's saying the covid-19 vaccine was mankind's biggest, largest

01:21:23.000 achievement. And a lot of his base doesn't like that. And I think they were able to go to RFK,

01:21:27.000 Jr. as an alternative, who is skeptical of many different covid vaccines and different vaccines.

01:21:33.000 But there are, you know, maybe not for covid, but there are a lot of progressives or left-wing

01:21:38.000 people who are just kind of crunchy and don't like vaccine stuff. That's who used to be in that camp.

01:21:43.000 Well that's why RFK came from that hill.

01:21:44.000 I feel like there's a lot of those diehard Trump supporters who are really ticked off about how the COVID vaccine stuff went down.

01:21:51.000 There are a lot of diehard Trump supporters who are totally against Operation Warp Speed.

01:21:55.000 They just want him to stop talking about it.

01:21:56.000 And are willing to pivot over that issue.

01:22:00.000 I don't know if they're willing to pivot.

01:22:01.000 I don't know if they are.

01:22:02.000 A small amount of them will be significant.

01:22:04.000 It doesn't even have to be a large amount of them.

01:22:06.000 Even a couple of percents in a couple of states is an issue.

01:22:08.000 If RFK Jr.

01:22:09.000 only gets Two, three, four percent.

01:22:11.000 That still has a huge impact on the swing states.

01:22:14.000 Even less.

01:22:15.000 Let's throw this to the mix.

01:22:16.000 We got the story from the Postmillennial.

01:22:17.000 Major US banks shutter 33 locations in just two weeks.

01:22:22.000 Major US banks are closing down branch locations and shifting to online services.

01:22:27.000 And something we saw in Australia, they're getting rid of the ability to withdraw cash from your banks.

01:22:31.000 What we're seeing here, I think, is just market downturn.

01:22:34.000 The market just crashed.

01:22:35.000 The economy is not good.

01:22:36.000 People are struggling.

01:22:38.000 And so, I don't know if any of these other ancillary things matter. 1.00

01:22:42.000 If we're really talking about an election that's based on the issues, it's the economy, stupid. 0.96

01:22:46.000 And regular people, you can lie to them all day and night, but when they go to the grocery store, if they look at that bill and they scoff, whoever's in the administration now is in trouble. 0.99

01:22:54.000 Let's get really cynical, though.

01:22:55.000 Do you actually think that we're going to have any kind of semblance of a fair election?

01:22:59.000 No.

01:23:00.000 I'm just saying, if this was really about who wins the argument.

01:23:03.000 And that's the hypothetical, and I think that's where people are forgetting, because what I keep seeing I listen to a lot of MAGA people, but I also will jump in on Twitter spaces where people I disagree with and I hide there anonymously and just lurk out and listen.

01:23:15.000 And I want to see what they have to say.

01:23:16.000 Today there was a space and Lev Parnas was in it and they were talking about they don't think that Trump actually got shot in the ear because they've apparently never seen how superglue works when you have a small wound that you can actually close up with superglue and you wouldn't see it very easily.

01:23:27.000 And as a paramedic who's actually done that, and I've sealed up ears before from dog bites and other things, it works.

01:23:32.000 It works really well.

01:23:33.000 You're just making that up.

01:23:35.000 I'm just kidding.

01:23:36.000 I know you're not.

01:23:37.000 It was invented for wounds, wasn't it?

01:23:38.000 But if you said that in one of those spaces, someone would be like, he's not a real paramedic.

01:23:40.000 wasn't it? Well the stuff is called Dermabond that they use in the hospital

01:23:43.000 so it's a $40 tube but you can get the 99 cent tube and it works just as well.

01:23:46.000 It just burns a little bit longer. But if you said that one of those spaces, someone would

01:23:49.000 be like he's not a real paramedic that's not true at all. I've actually taken my

01:23:53.000 fingers down to the bone with a knife by being a bonehead because I'm just a 0.57

01:23:56.000 regular dude and I've cut myself down here and I've sealed them up with super

01:23:59.000 glue and overnight I was able to use them again.

01:24:01.000 You're not going to tear it open.

01:24:02.000 It'll close up, especially a really clean wound.

01:24:04.000 But that's not what I want to talk about.

01:24:05.000 Sorry, I'm derailing you.

01:24:05.000 Think about this.

01:24:06.000 These people rolled 100 miles an hour at a cliff the size of the Grand Canyon.

01:24:12.000 They indicted him, and they got him in Florida.

01:24:15.000 They got him in D.C.

01:24:16.000 They got him in Georgia.

01:24:17.000 They got him in New York.

01:24:18.000 Okay?

01:24:19.000 State and federal charges on all levels.

01:24:22.000 They were able to only get one of them across the finish line.

01:24:24.000 Does anyone actually think that we are not going to see Donald Trump?

01:24:27.000 There's a very, very real possibility that the guys in New York decide, we bought this ticket.

01:24:32.000 We're taking that ride.

01:24:33.000 We're not going to drive up to the edge of this cliff at a hundred miles an hour stop and look at the view.

01:24:37.000 I think they're going over it and I think there's a strong probability he ends up in Rikers because that's what they are prepared to do.

01:24:44.000 I don't see any fear of the weak candidate or the fact that they swapped out somebody in the most undemocratic move despite crying about how they're going to save democracy.

01:24:53.000 There's nothing that tells me these people have any fear about what's coming up.

01:24:57.000 I just want to add this real quick as well.

01:25:00.000 In about 20 minutes we're going to be in the hurricane.

01:25:03.000 And so I got a big warning.

01:25:05.000 My phone went off.

01:25:06.000 So if the show disappears, you know why?

01:25:06.000 We got a warning.

01:25:08.000 It is not the CIA.

01:25:09.000 Is that what it's called?

01:25:09.000 Is it Debbie?

01:25:10.000 I don't know.

01:25:11.000 Let's say the election isn't fair and then Trump loses in 2024.

01:25:11.000 It's Debbie.

01:25:17.000 I think we're going to be in for such another turbulent four years as Trump will inevitably say the election was fake or stolen and we'll have his hold on the Republican Party for another at least four years and would run again.

01:25:30.000 You don't think he'd run again in 2028?

01:25:30.000 I don't agree.

01:25:31.000 At 83 or whatever?

01:25:32.000 I don't think so.

01:25:32.000 definitely think it would be the revenge toward Trump. At 83 or whatever? Yeah, if he's still

01:25:36.000 kicking. If he still wanted it, then I think Republicans wouldn't have a choice. I don't

01:25:42.000 think so. You don't think Trump would want it or you don't think he'd get the support

01:25:45.000 if he wanted it? I think he's gonna be in his 80s and he's gonna be like, ugh. Joe Biden

01:25:51.000 The Democrats didn't seem to have any problem with it.

01:25:52.000 I don't think Joe Biden almost did it.

01:25:53.000 I think you're misestimating.

01:25:55.000 Yeah, he didn't even come close.

01:25:56.000 I think if they pushed off that debate until September, they would have had no other choice.

01:26:00.000 And it was actually a huge miscalculation by the Joe Biden campaign to have that debate earlier than any other campaigns they ever do for general elections.

01:26:07.000 But yeah.

01:26:10.000 I think the Biden campaign miscalculated by having a debate when they did, but I don't think that Joe Biden almost got reelected because I think he was already facing really serious scrutiny before the debate.

01:26:20.000 He was the presumptive nominee at the time.

01:26:23.000 He was sort of the presumptive nominee for sure, but it's not like his party was happy about it.

01:26:27.000 So wait, that's to say you guys don't think that Trump will want it or that the party wouldn't give it to him if he did want it?

01:26:33.000 I guess you're going either way.

01:26:34.000 Because I think if he wanted it, it's his for the taking, and there is no other clear alternative who could try to primary him.

01:26:41.000 We're talking about like four years from now, right?

01:26:43.000 It's hard to say what will come up.

01:26:44.000 Political time.

01:26:45.000 That feels like tomorrow.

01:26:46.000 No, it doesn't, because if you think back four years ago, so much has happened since then.

01:26:50.000 I mean, it feels like it's tomorrow because we think in election cycles, but ultimately we pack huge histories into every four years.

01:26:58.000 I mean, Nancy Pelosi used to be friends with Biden, and now she's like, Yeah, I didn't try to pressure him out and I haven't talked to him since.

01:27:05.000 She sent him to that nice farm in Wisconsin where they have all the pretty grass.

01:27:08.000 Right.

01:27:08.000 Some guy with a suppressed 22 or whatever.

01:27:10.000 All kinds of political dynasty shift, especially if we're thinking about like the Supreme Court, right?

01:27:13.000 The next president will probably name multiple Supreme Court or at least nominate multiple Supreme Court justices.

01:27:20.000 It's unclear to me what the landscape will look like in four years.

01:27:23.000 And I think, you know, maybe if Trump didn't get elected and he wanted it, he would get reelected.

01:27:28.000 On the other hand, He could also be this political symbol, this martyr who was just stolen from, you know, however his base will say it.

01:27:38.000 I think you guys are missing the ego play of Trump.

01:27:41.000 I just couldn't imagine him taking that step down.

01:27:43.000 It's just untrump-like, frankly.

01:27:45.000 If he lost again, it would make him bigger than him.

01:27:47.000 It wouldn't be losing again.

01:27:49.000 In his rhetoric, it would have been stolen again.

01:27:51.000 Whatever it is, if he doesn't go to the White House now, it will become even bigger, and I think it will potentially really consolidate the movement behind him.

01:28:02.000 Even if he's not at the top of it, they will say, like, we have to avenge him in some way.

01:28:05.000 I'm not talking about political violence, FBI, who's watching.

01:28:08.000 I'm talking about people saying, like, we need to elect on every level people who represent our values because this one guy we really wanted to didn't get in.

01:28:16.000 We also have a — I can't remember a time when this was the case — a first-term president lame-duck for six months left.

01:28:26.000 Look, who's running the country right now?

01:28:27.000 Has anyone just realized that, like, whenever you see anything, like, Biden pops up and he says, like, a bunch of stumble slurs and people are like, ah, that's just what he does.

01:28:33.000 You know, five weeks ago, that was insane.

01:28:33.000 Yeah.

01:28:36.000 Nobody would have met, they would have been like, they would have covered for him. 0.76

01:28:38.000 And now he walks out there and he's like, I got the four figures.

01:28:40.000 I don't know where you put the ring on a, I guess you put it on your thumb and you're, and you're- 0.96

01:28:43.000 Now he's working on his political achievements with this absolute garbage hostage deal. 0.54

01:28:47.000 I don't know if we spent any time talking about it, but the Russia trade- 0.99

01:28:49.000 The hostage deal is horrible.

01:28:50.000 Didn't they almost send, they almost sent Biden on the plane.

01:28:52.000 Wasn't he trying to climb on the plane and disappear?

01:28:54.000 We looped in multiple EU allies to have to trade Russian spies and criminals with blood on their hands. 0.55

01:29:03.000 And we left people behind.

01:29:04.000 It was not even a perfect deal that we got everyone out.

01:29:08.000 We left stuff on the table.

01:29:09.000 Hostage deals incentivize more hostages to be taken.

01:29:13.000 Unfortunately, that's just the political calculation.

01:29:16.000 But Joe Biden is going to tout this as his huge geopolitical accomplishment, which is crazy.

01:29:21.000 But the big win for me is that the Russian FSB assassin that they got out of Germany looks like what I want a Russian assassin to look like. 0.75

01:29:31.000 He had a steely gaze.

01:29:33.000 He looked like what I expect a Russian assassin to be. 1.00

01:29:35.000 And the story about, you guys have probably all seen this, but there were Russian spies in, was it Poland?

01:29:43.000 Or no, in Estonia, in one of the Eastern European countries, and they were posing as being like Argentinian, to the point where their children spoke Spanish, had no idea they were Russian, and when they got taken back to Russia on the plane, were completely blown away by this.

01:29:57.000 Putin greeted them by saying, Buenos noches, because they don't speak Russian, because that's how deep their parents were undercover.

01:29:57.000 They had no idea.

01:30:04.000 Yes.

01:30:04.000 That's wild to me.

01:30:06.000 Do not underestimate how dedicated these people are.

01:30:09.000 Yeah, the Russians are deeply, their spy network is deeply entrenched in Europe.

01:30:14.000 I heard that the president before Biden was working for the Russians.

01:30:18.000 That's what I heard, too. 0.95

01:30:19.000 Crazy.

01:30:19.000 Yeah.

01:30:20.000 Discredited multiple times, but I still hear it.

01:30:22.000 I heard that Biden is working for Xi Jinping, so just pick your enemy here.

01:30:26.000 He had that really naughty phone call.

01:30:29.000 Have you seen the Tim Walz China stuff?

01:30:31.000 How in the world was he in the military with a security clearance and like hanging out- Flying to China.

01:30:35.000 Living in China, briefly.

01:30:37.000 How is that possible?

01:30:38.000 I don't know if you can do that.

01:30:39.000 Yeah.

01:30:40.000 I was not in the National Guard, so I only have active duty experience.

01:30:42.000 But like, you couldn't even go to Mexico.

01:30:44.000 Like, you can't go to Mexico.

01:30:46.000 They're like, you're like, hey, I want to go to this wedding in Mexico.

01:30:48.000 And they're like, sorry, it's in Mexico.

01:30:49.000 That's a no-go zone right now.

01:30:51.000 You can't go to Cancun for your friend's wedding.

01:30:53.000 And you're like, I guess I'm not going.

01:30:54.000 Did you get a diplomatic passport?

01:30:56.000 I did when I was in the FBI.

01:30:58.000 Oh, okay.

01:30:58.000 And they didn't take it back, so I have my expired passport.

01:31:00.000 Does everybody who serves get a diplomatic passport, like when you're working for the U.S.

01:31:05.000 government?

01:31:06.000 No.

01:31:07.000 So when I was an agent, you could get it.

01:31:10.000 I just went over across the way to headquarters.

01:31:11.000 They did them out of the Hoover building.

01:31:13.000 If you thought you might need it and there was a possibility you might travel for work, you could get it.

01:31:16.000 So it wasn't like, you know, it wasn't like an exciting thing or wasn't granted to you.

01:31:20.000 If you thought it was a possibility, you can go through the rigmarole of filling out the paperwork and sending it over.

01:31:23.000 What does it do for you?

01:31:24.000 Nothing.

01:31:25.000 It's the same passport.

01:31:26.000 So it's red.

01:31:26.000 So you'd use it on official duties.

01:31:27.000 And so they basically log you in as dip status or as you are represented the U.S.

01:31:31.000 government, you're there for official process.

01:31:33.000 But I've heard of people using it on their personal travels as well.

01:31:36.000 I had a regular passport as well.

01:31:37.000 I had a blue and I had a red and I don't know the advantage unless you're actually doing something that is very specific in a diplomatic mission, State Department or whatever.

01:31:45.000 For what I was going to be doing, like I didn't want to travel ever because the place they would have sent me to would be like looking at Chinese spies.

01:31:51.000 And that seemed like it was not a good place to go.

01:31:53.000 I definitely wasn't going to go to China.

01:31:54.000 I knew that.

01:31:55.000 He stole all of our data.

01:31:57.000 Tim Waltz has some weird Chinese connections.

01:31:59.000 Yeah, it's so strange.

01:32:01.000 Yeah.

01:32:01.000 And remember, China is where we pseudo-boycotted the Olympics, but we actually didn't.

01:32:05.000 We sent all of our athletes.

01:32:06.000 We just didn't send any high-ranking officials.

01:32:08.000 And then we told the U.S.

01:32:09.000 athletes, don't use your cell phone there because they will steal your information.

01:32:12.000 It's already done.

01:32:15.000 I don't understand the U.S.' 's relationship with China, and I think it's very weird under the Biden administration.

01:32:19.000 All right, we're going to go to Super Chats.

01:32:42.000 Frost787 says, first, what do you think of THGG, That Hoe's Gotta Go? 1.00

01:32:48.000 It's okay.

01:32:49.000 You know, I don't know.

01:32:50.000 I think Crooked Kamala.

01:32:52.000 Cackling Kamala.

01:32:53.000 Crooked Kamala's probably good. 1.00

01:32:55.000 People are overthinking these nicknames.

01:32:57.000 You know, they want Tampon Tim, and I'm like, nobody knows what that means.

01:33:01.000 You gotta call him, like, Bad Economy Waltz.

01:33:04.000 Just like, there you go.

01:33:06.000 Bad Economy Guy.

01:33:07.000 I think you should just start saying, who?

01:33:10.000 Because 71% of the country had no idea who he was.

01:33:12.000 That one works, too.

01:33:14.000 All right.

01:33:15.000 Dalamar says, get all independent voters you know registered.

01:33:17.000 Make a plan for election day or sooner to get them to vote Trump.

01:33:22.000 There you go.

01:33:25.000 Elliott Cruz says, spread it far and wide when people hear Kamala Harris laugh.

01:33:28.000 I want them to think of Ed, the nutty hyena from Lion King.

01:33:31.000 Keep animals out of the Oval Office.

01:33:34.000 Well, okay.

01:33:36.000 I'm not your buddy, guy says.

01:33:37.000 I cannot understand how anyone could conclude this wasn't an inside job.

01:33:41.000 Now I will admit who orchestrated may be up for debate, whether it was the globalist economic liberal order or China IDK.

01:33:49.000 Seriously.

01:33:52.000 Small mouse in a big field says it wasn't an inside job.

01:33:54.000 They subcontracted it.

01:33:55.000 Haha.

01:33:57.000 Nowhere Man says, hey Tim, watching for three years and IRL is our household's primary news source.

01:34:02.000 Keep up the great work.

01:34:03.000 P.S.

01:34:04.000 Ian is based and bring Spoonman back on.

01:34:06.000 Wait, has Seamus abandoned us?

01:34:08.000 Seamus has just left and he's never come back.

01:34:10.000 In fact, I texted Seamus, and this is true, I texted Seamus when Anti-Woke Dog came out, his cartoon, saying that it was based and he only just messaged me back about it today.

01:34:19.000 Seamus, you know, I don't know.

01:34:22.000 This is a bad friend.

01:34:23.000 This is a bad friend.

01:34:24.000 I don't know what's happened to you, Seamus.

01:34:26.000 I don't know.

01:34:27.000 He got famous, became a bad friend.

01:34:28.000 It was a month ago.

01:34:31.000 I hate when I find a month-old text and I respond to it, I'm like, this doesn't look good.

01:34:35.000 I said, dear Seamus, my best friend, you are the greatest cartoonist and your comedy is so great, and he ignored me.

01:34:41.000 He's a bad person!

01:34:42.000 That was a Donald Trump kind of compliment.

01:34:46.000 Oh, Trump is so good when he roasted Bill Barr. 0.82

01:34:49.000 Remember that post he made where he was like, I called him fat, lethargic and incompetent, but because he endorsed me, I'll remove lethargic from that statement.

01:34:58.000 Jeez, he's good.

01:35:00.000 I liked when they accused him of sleeping in trial and he's like, I was just resting my beautiful blue eyes.

01:35:05.000 Yeah, my beautiful blue eyes.

01:35:08.000 Lunar Bow says, can you talk about the Charlemagne the God slideshow titled Things You Need to Know Before You Vote?

01:35:16.000 I see so many of my friends posting it, like I feel like I'm in the toilet zone.

01:35:19.000 I have no idea what that is.

01:35:20.000 Never heard of it.

01:35:21.000 I'll have to tap in our hip-hop correspondent, Serge.

01:35:24.000 Hal Galey says, I trust Harris Waltz with power less than I trust a fart in an airplane with no toilets after a week in India eating street food and drinking the water.

01:35:31.000 That's dangerous.

01:35:32.000 Specific.

01:35:32.000 Jeez.

01:35:33.000 Yeah, that was a little much.

01:35:35.000 Man.

01:35:38.000 All right, let's go.

01:35:39.000 Relentless Hemi says, try the new Timpax Heavy Flow Tampons.

01:35:43.000 Shout out to Tim Waltz.

01:35:45.000 It's not going to catch.

01:35:46.000 It's not going to catch.

01:35:47.000 Yeah.

01:35:47.000 You know what catches?

01:35:48.000 You see, I pissed off an awful lot of military veterans.

01:35:52.000 Hey, Waltz.

01:35:53.000 Yeah, his story about- Kim Ewaltz.

01:35:55.000 That's not a bad one.

01:35:56.000 I didn't come up with that.

01:35:57.000 That's what people have been saying.

01:35:58.000 Yeah, yeah, just the fact that he- the number of people that I've seen that have been trending saying, here's me, not like, you know, neglecting my duty.

01:36:04.000 Yep.

01:36:04.000 This is me.

01:36:05.000 And it's a bunch of people on deployments.

01:36:06.000 I think that's powerful.

01:36:07.000 I think it's strong.

01:36:08.000 The fact that he was going after guns saying, you know, guns I used while I was in war.

01:36:11.000 It's like, bro.

01:36:13.000 MF Damien says, I got a pretty accurate AI-generated real-time summary of the live chat when I opened the stream.

01:36:19.000 When did this transcription nightmare start?

01:36:22.000 What do you mean real-time summary of the live chat?

01:36:24.000 I don't know what that means.

01:36:26.000 That sounds wild and also horrifying.

01:36:27.000 I don't know how you summarize a live chat, it's just people saying random things.

01:36:32.000 Baltescalo says, if Kamala has a plan to fix inflation, why doesn't she just tell Joe about it so they can fix it now? 0.53

01:36:39.000 That's actually, I tweeted that, because there's this clip going viral.

01:36:42.000 Let me pull this up.

01:36:44.000 She's basically just saying, suffer.

01:36:46.000 Ha ha ha ha ha.

01:36:48.000 She said something to the effect of, like, in my first days in office.

01:36:50.000 And it's like, dude, you're already in office.

01:36:52.000 You're already there.

01:36:52.000 Prices for everyday things like groceries are still too high.

01:36:55.000 You know it and I know it.

01:36:56.000 When I am president, it will be a day one priority to fight to bring down prices.

01:37:01.000 So she's basically saying, she may as well have said, I could fix all your problems right now, but I'm not gonna unless you vote for me. 0.97

01:37:08.000 It's like, oh, that sucks. 0.94

01:37:09.000 And you could do it now, but you won't. 0.96

01:37:11.000 And they're still going for it.

01:37:13.000 So there's that.

01:37:13.000 And I don't think she can do it.

01:37:16.000 Yep.

01:37:17.000 Titan Soap says, as an actual combat veteran, I really hope the Trump campaign hammers tampon Tim with stolen valor.

01:37:23.000 The VP debate will be interesting.

01:37:25.000 Semper Fi.

01:37:26.000 Yeah, I think they should call for him to resign.

01:37:31.000 I thought Trump's press conference should have been to state that Tim Walz's statements about serving in war are shockingly offensive to veterans in this country.

01:37:40.000 And for this reason, I'm calling on him to resign from this position.

01:37:44.000 This is not a position he should have.

01:37:46.000 Resign as governor, blah, blah, blah.

01:37:48.000 Vance would be a good guy to hammer him on that because I don't think he was, he was like a correspondent or something.

01:37:54.000 He was in a combat zone.

01:37:55.000 I don't think he saw combat, but Waltz wasn't even close to it.

01:37:59.000 So we'll see if we get those scheduled too, even the VP debates.

01:38:03.000 Nicholas Maduro says X is about to be banned.

01:38:05.000 He did ban it.

01:38:06.000 For 10 days.

01:38:06.000 Oh, in Venezuela?

01:38:07.000 Yeah.

01:38:08.000 For 10 days?

01:38:09.000 That's like... Why not a cool Fortnite?

01:38:11.000 What's going on here?

01:38:11.000 Yeah, right.

01:38:12.000 How'd you come up with 10 days?

01:38:13.000 Banning your app for 10 days.

01:38:16.000 It's 10 business days, so it actually is a Fortnite.

01:38:18.000 It's like a timeout?

01:38:19.000 That's what it should be.

01:38:19.000 Yeah.

01:38:20.000 You're in timeout.

01:38:21.000 Lurch685 says, I'm a private security professional of 20 years.

01:38:24.000 Totally inside job, not in competence.

01:38:26.000 I'm so sick of this default excuse.

01:38:29.000 I agree.

01:38:30.000 The problem is, if you're a private security contractor, you are held to a competency standard that the government is not.

01:38:36.000 Yeah, a fair market value standard, too.

01:38:38.000 Are you good at your job or not?

01:38:39.000 Just saying.

01:38:40.000 It's tough.

01:38:42.000 It's tough to see that.

01:38:44.000 Darius Lipsy says, Tim Kast is full of coincidence theorist.

01:38:47.000 Is full on coincidence theorist?

01:38:49.000 I like full of, and I like coincidence theorist.

01:38:51.000 I can get behind that.

01:38:53.000 So coincidence theorist is a reference to people who think it was all an accident and it's all incompetence.

01:38:58.000 I like that there's a term for it.

01:39:00.000 Right.

01:39:00.000 And then conspiracy theories that you think there was coordination at some level.

01:39:04.000 Yeah.

01:39:05.000 It's got to be both, to be fair.

01:39:06.000 It's probably a percentage of both.

01:39:08.000 The question is, is how much of it, if you fail... Here's the thing.

01:39:10.000 If you prepare yourself, you tend to get more lucky and do things better.

01:39:14.000 If you don't prepare, you tend to get more unlucky.

01:39:17.000 So those things can overlap.

01:39:18.000 The question is what percentage of it was.

01:39:19.000 Let me put it this way.

01:39:21.000 If I walk into my living room, and my window is shattered, and there's a rock on the ground, I'm not gonna be like, ugh.

01:39:28.000 You know, someone accidentally threw a rock through my window.

01:39:31.000 The security guards that we had here must have made a mistake.

01:39:34.000 I might be like, someone intentionally threw a rock through my window.

01:39:37.000 How did this happen?

01:39:38.000 Like, I'm not gonna assume there's an accident.

01:39:40.000 Like, oh, somebody must have accidentally was playing catch with a rock, and then it went to the window.

01:39:45.000 Only explanation.

01:39:46.000 You never lived next to me when I was a kid.

01:39:49.000 I mean, maybe if I lived next to a kid, but... Yeah, that's right.

01:39:52.000 I'm not gonna assume that a rock was rolling on the ground and the wind whipped it in the air.

01:39:56.000 I'm gonna assume someone intentionally threw a rock through my window.

01:39:58.000 And if you're a coincidence theorist, as I am, I've mentioned this a few times on shows prior, but one of the most unnerving things about this is, if you do believe it was just one motivated, crazy 20-year-old, relatively young shooter, That's to say that many people, many political people are vulnerable because most senators don't have, congressmen don't have secret service.

01:40:19.000 Nobody has as good a security as Donald Trump does besides like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

01:40:24.000 So what does that mean for them?

01:40:25.000 It seems like everybody does actually.

01:40:26.000 So what does that mean for them if a motivated young person wanted to... A veil of civility is paper thin.

01:40:33.000 What would you do if you hired a, I don't know, a plumber to come and fix your plumbing and then During the process by which they're in your kitchen, in your bathroom, you hear one guy go, ah!

01:40:47.000 And then black sludge that sprang all over the place, and they go, we didn't do it, it was a coincidence. 0.98

01:40:50.000 Then you hired a government plumber, that's how that works.

01:40:53.000 You'd be like, uh, dude.

01:40:54.000 That person goes back and writes it up and gets a promotion.

01:40:56.000 I'm pretty sure you did it.

01:40:57.000 This needs to be thoroughly investigated.

01:40:59.000 So I'm not like excusing.

01:41:01.000 And not by the people that are doing it right now.

01:41:03.000 Let me just throw that out there.

01:41:04.000 I just it's because they're not accountable.

01:41:06.000 I would have loved to see the state police take it.

01:41:07.000 I understand that there's a federal nexus simply because it was a federal protectee.

01:41:12.000 The state police should be doing a full collab job.

01:41:15.000 At least the state police are going to answer to some people in their state.

01:41:19.000 Like I'd like to see the PA Many more resignations.

01:41:21.000 We only saw Sheetal, was it?

01:41:22.000 Resign.

01:41:23.000 Head of Secret Service, I believe it was.

01:41:25.000 Very reluctantly at that point.

01:41:26.000 Kind of pressured into it.

01:41:29.000 It seemed like from Republican senators and stuff, when she was at the RNC, she was getting a lot.

01:41:33.000 Not to say it really flippantly, but while the FBI was letting somebody in and tracking a guy with 24-hour surveillance, do you have any idea how many people you have to wrap up to follow some Pakistani dude 24-7? 0.73

01:41:43.000 You're talking about three shifts of surveillance agents.

01:41:46.000 That's a minimum of like six to eight per shift.

01:41:49.000 That's just the surveillance end of it.

01:41:50.000 Then you have analysts, then you have people that are doing all the exploitation, then you've got the case agents and anybody else that's doing the undercover operation.

01:41:56.000 There's a lot of people.

01:41:57.000 And in the meantime, the actual guy that took an actual shot at the actual former president standing up there giving a speech, that actually happened while the FBI was running around after the person that they created.

01:42:08.000 That's the thing that bothers me so much.

01:42:09.000 The opportunity cost continues to be the biggest question.

01:42:12.000 What are your resources?

01:42:13.000 They're finite, and you're using them to bring and import your own fake terrorists in so you can have a win the day before someone actually pulls off the legitimacy.

01:42:21.000 But I think you made a really important point.

01:42:23.000 We don't know how many of these instances where the FBI, we know they stage these hoax terror attacks so they can take them down and claim they did heroic work.

01:42:31.000 How often do they try to convince a guy to do something, and then he cuts off contact and then goes and does it?

01:42:38.000 And they're like, oh crap.

01:42:40.000 It's going to be stuck in a source room, and it's going to be hidden for 25 to 50 years under the human category.

01:42:45.000 You will not find out the name of those things.

01:42:47.000 And Congress doesn't have visibility to it, and I'm not confident the Inspector General does either.

01:42:51.000 What if that was the vaguest thing?

01:42:55.000 Here's the other problem.

01:42:56.000 We focus in on the FBI because they're the one that's the most prominent, but the most scary animal that's out there is under DHS.

01:43:01.000 They have absolutely no DIOG, which is the thing that I always harp on.

01:43:04.000 It's really technical for people, but the FBI has a playbook.

01:43:07.000 There are rules.

01:43:08.000 It's not Vietnam.

01:43:09.000 I feel like I'm Walter from Big Lebowski, but there are rules that the FBI falls under.

01:43:13.000 They can break those rules, and they do sometimes, and they shouldn't, and they should be held accountable.

01:43:17.000 DHS doesn't even have a rulebook.

01:43:19.000 So they don't even have to worry about ignoring it.

01:43:21.000 And the scariest thing, Tim, that most people don't realize is that they bring DHS, like HSI agents and ICE and other stuff, they bring them on to FBI task force so that the HSI agent can do the thing that the FBI is not allowed to do because the FBI has rules.

01:43:34.000 And those people don't lose their authorities when they join a task force.

01:43:37.000 So some of this stuff is really wild.

01:43:39.000 Who knows who the DHS guys are recruiting and what kind of ops they're incentivized to because I don't know what their metrics look like.

01:43:46.000 I don't know what their stats are.

01:43:47.000 And they always seem to have a really cush job.

01:43:49.000 They didn't seem to have to report to anybody.

01:43:50.000 They'd come to our office for a couple days, they'd go to their office a couple days, they'd go hang out in the desert for a couple days, I don't know.

01:43:55.000 They had a very different animal.

01:43:56.000 So a lot of people are not paying attention to the fact that DHS is 10x the size of the FBI.

01:44:02.000 It's a significantly bigger and probably a more threatening animal.

01:44:05.000 Especially for all the people that follow Intel stuff.

01:44:06.000 Alright, Daniel Karimian says, I fully support changing the show's name to DanCast.

01:44:13.000 Just temporarily while we wait out this Tim Walz storm.

01:44:17.000 Debcast.

01:44:19.000 Let's go.

01:44:20.000 What have we here?

01:44:22.000 Josh Judge says, U.S.

01:44:24.000 Army infantry here.

01:44:25.000 On a handgun, the recoil force of the slide isn't that powerful.

01:44:28.000 You can hold the slide stationary when firing.

01:44:31.000 It can be a strategy to get the gun out of the fight because the next round won't chamber.

01:44:35.000 Oh, well, how about that?

01:44:36.000 Unless it's small, weak female hands, then it's gonna hurt. 1.00

01:44:39.000 Yeah, I figured you're gonna get some pain there.

01:44:43.000 But I agree with him.

01:44:44.000 Fundamentally, I agree with him.

01:44:46.000 Richard Devine says, an officer in Iraq at the clearing barrel wondering why rounds keep coming out of his pistol when charged, knew a soldier was mentally effed up from Iraq, 09, was in the Fort Hood shooting, had to go back to Iraq, they need numbers.

01:45:01.000 Wow.

01:45:03.000 Yeah.

01:45:06.000 Yoshiaki Koga says, Secret Service has recent history of incompetence.

01:45:09.000 Two attempts on Obama, one Bush, a former head of SS resigned over the attempt on Obama.

01:45:14.000 Look up real life lore video on the topic.

01:45:18.000 Interesting.

01:45:19.000 Or the Joe Rogan stand-up routine where he talked about the female that got punched out on the White House lawn.

01:45:24.000 Right, she jumped over the fence or whatever? 0.80

01:45:26.000 No, it was a guy that jumped over the fence, but it was like a woman standing post at the front door. 0.67

01:45:30.000 And they just hit her?

01:45:31.000 Well, yeah, that's Rogan's whole point.

01:45:33.000 He's like, dude, guys, diversity, but not that diversity.

01:45:36.000 Not a single lady standing in front of the front door. 0.95

01:45:38.000 Or firefighters.

01:45:39.000 Or police.

01:45:40.000 You know.

01:45:41.000 Sure.

01:45:42.000 Justin Newcomb says, PSA, if you're worried about election interference and voter fraud, do your civic duty as an American and sign up to work at the polls.

01:45:49.000 Don't peek through a poll station window to verify integrity.

01:45:52.000 Be a volunteer this year.

01:45:53.000 Yup.

01:45:55.000 Yes, indeed.

01:45:58.000 All right, what have we here?

01:46:01.000 Stone to Mason says, good evening, Tim and crew.

01:46:02.000 An old man taught me the secret to a happy life some years back, and it was quite simple.

01:46:07.000 Okay, is that a crypto thing you're promoting?

01:46:10.000 Well, I won't read that.

01:46:12.000 All right.

01:46:13.000 Or is he saying buy rum?

01:46:15.000 Well, I'll just I'll leave it at that.

01:46:17.000 But I don't drink alcohol.

01:46:18.000 So there might be a token or alcohol.

01:46:21.000 Yeah.

01:46:23.000 All right.

01:46:23.000 Fleen toke says just tried to give the IRS some money that they say I owe the website is partially down due to an outage.

01:46:30.000 Don't know what that means.

01:46:31.000 But just wanted to throw that out.

01:46:33.000 I think you should not have to pay it anymore.

01:46:35.000 The website's down.

01:46:36.000 They clearly don't want it that badly.

01:46:37.000 It's called a good faith effort.

01:46:39.000 Yeah.

01:46:39.000 Can we write it off on that?

01:46:40.000 I'm just kidding.

01:46:40.000 That's bad financial and legal advice.

01:46:42.000 Yeah, don't do that.

01:46:44.000 Polypuree says, Tim, I wish you would make a bottled mocha frappuccino like Starbucks with less sugar.

01:46:49.000 I would buy it.

01:46:50.000 Oh, dude, I would too.

01:46:52.000 That's what I can't stand about these products.

01:46:53.000 They dump sugar in them.

01:46:55.000 Yeah, they're crazy.

01:46:55.000 It's like, hey, the liquid deaths that we have here, I think they have like between five and seven grams of sugar and they're great.

01:47:02.000 I don't need 30 to 60 grams of sugar in my drink.

01:47:04.000 I'm not crazy.

01:47:06.000 People do, I guess.

01:47:07.000 Young people do.

01:47:08.000 I don't know, man.

01:47:09.000 At some point you age out of being able to handle that much sugar.

01:47:11.000 I think sugar's just kind of addictive.

01:47:13.000 Like, you get used to how sweet something is, and so then you want more and more of it.

01:47:16.000 Yeah, the hyper-palatability kind of thing.

01:47:18.000 Yeah.

01:47:18.000 Like, did you ever, if you, like, mix sweets, like, if you drink Coke and then eat ice cream, the ice cream doesn't taste sweet at all because you've already overloaded your taste buds?

01:47:27.000 I did not have that experience last night, but I still do that.

01:47:29.000 You were drinking Coke and eating ice cream?

01:47:31.000 Yeah, I'm a grown-up that eats like a child.

01:47:32.000 If you eat something super sweet, then eat something that's slightly less sweet, it tastes less sweet, because your body, you know.

01:47:37.000 Sure.

01:47:38.000 Prioritizes.

01:47:38.000 Well, it's just that you get adapted.

01:47:41.000 And there's only so much I can take anymore.

01:47:42.000 I used to be the guy that, like, I could eat, like, a whole chocolate cake, and it's game over, and now, like, I eat one, and I'm like, I probably should've done it.

01:47:47.000 It's the marginal utility for sugar, so each, the more sugar you... I think it's called my 40s.

01:47:53.000 I just... I've never liked cake.

01:47:55.000 It's like a confession.

01:47:57.000 Yeah, I'd rather have ice cream.

01:48:00.000 Cake is, it's good.

01:48:00.000 How do you feel about private property ownership?

01:48:03.000 It's great.

01:48:03.000 Okay, good.

01:48:03.000 So not a commie, just don't like cake.

01:48:05.000 Yeah, cake is okay, but... It is one of the tests, just saying.

01:48:08.000 Like, I'll put it this way, I would rather have lasagna.

01:48:11.000 You know what I mean?

01:48:11.000 I just... Good lasagna is pretty good.

01:48:13.000 Right, so it's, cake is just, it's a sweet treat, that's fine.

01:48:17.000 And if it has frosting... But like, a lobster risotto, I have always preferred, like, a bowl of lobster bisque over, like, a slice of cake.

01:48:25.000 I like savory more.

01:48:26.000 Cake's an overrated dessert.

01:48:27.000 It doesn't... I agree.

01:48:29.000 It's filtered.

01:48:29.000 What about like a creme brulee?

01:48:30.000 Okay, what about... Yeah.

01:48:31.000 What about like... Yeah, that's better.

01:48:32.000 That's much better.

01:48:33.000 What about like a bag of chips?

01:48:35.000 Would you rather have a bag of chips than a slice of cake?

01:48:37.000 Mmm.

01:48:39.000 Is there dip?

01:48:40.000 Sure.

01:48:41.000 Yes.

01:48:41.000 What kind of chips?

01:48:43.000 Tortilla chips with guacamole over cake any day.

01:48:45.000 I just think some people are prone.

01:48:47.000 They like salt versus they like sugar, which seems natural, right?

01:48:50.000 Last one.

01:48:51.000 How do you feel about banana pudding with Nilla wafers?

01:48:55.000 I'm a sucker for it.

01:48:56.000 Oh, great. 0.57

01:48:56.000 I'm going to move to the south. 0.57

01:48:58.000 Isn't that like way better than cake?

01:49:00.000 Yeah, no, it's just more flavor.

01:49:01.000 I'm also a sucker for bananas.

01:49:03.000 I don't like the banana thing.

01:49:04.000 If someone offered me rice pudding or cake, I'd take rice pudding.

01:49:08.000 Cake is okay.

01:49:08.000 It's too much like clumpy, bready, nothing, flavorless, nothing.

01:49:13.000 And the icing's always like... I like ice cream cake.

01:49:16.000 Carvel ice cream cake.

01:49:17.000 Sure!

01:49:17.000 That's iconic.

01:49:19.000 It's okay.

01:49:19.000 I could change your mind, but you need homemade frosting.

01:49:22.000 You can't have the garbage that comes out of the can.

01:49:23.000 Good chocolate chip cookies, or oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that are made with a little too much butter so they get, you know, nice and a little crispy.

01:49:31.000 Oatmeal raisin is underrated, frankly.

01:49:34.000 Nah, raisin's really devolved.

01:49:35.000 Get the raisins out of there. 1.00

01:49:36.000 You bring raisins to dessert and you're getting thrown out.

01:49:39.000 Oh, the raisin's like a nice coat that makes me feel nice about myself.

01:49:41.000 Like, oh no, the raisin's not good.

01:49:42.000 It's healthy.

01:49:43.000 I would rather have a bowl of oatmeal with some cream than cake.

01:49:49.000 Totally unrelated to any of those things, but I saw a lady the other day who was complaining that people have basically pickled all the things you can pickle.

01:49:55.000 How come they haven't pickled cucumbers yet?

01:49:58.000 And I went like, those people can vote.

01:50:00.000 That's the thing that I thought about.

01:50:01.000 I was like, that lady, that's a Kamala voter right there. 1.00

01:50:04.000 I would rather eat a bowl of spaghetti than cake.

01:50:09.000 Cake's just terrible.

01:50:12.000 I don't know, it's okay.

01:50:13.000 So Tim's birthday, no birthday cake?

01:50:15.000 Savory treats only.

01:50:17.000 Or lasagna or other pastas.

01:50:19.000 No, you're like anti-carb though, right?

01:50:21.000 Yeah, I'm gonna probably have just like a bunch of chicken wings. 0.79

01:50:24.000 I'll get- Oyo asada.

01:50:27.000 I'll get the ice cream cake.

01:50:27.000 Or whatever.

01:50:28.000 I'll get that for your birthday.

01:50:29.000 I saw that.

01:50:30.000 I had table side guacamole today and chicken fajitas.

01:50:33.000 And I always, you know, no cilantro a lot of my guacamole.

01:50:36.000 Can I throw my idea on how to fix some of these problems that we've had?

01:50:39.000 I was talking to the driver about it.

01:50:41.000 No, no, this is just the guacamole thing reminded me.

01:50:43.000 You've been to London, yes?

01:50:45.000 Yeah.

01:50:45.000 What's the one thing about the food that you remember?

01:50:48.000 They have cheese onion sandwiches.

01:50:51.000 Ew.

01:50:52.000 Generally not great food.

01:50:53.000 And terrible Mexican food.

01:50:54.000 Hey, hey, hey.

01:50:55.000 The British are doing their best.

01:50:57.000 They contribute a lot to world history.

01:50:58.000 I love British breakfast.

01:50:59.000 Amazing beans, blood pudding, tomato, mushrooms.

01:51:03.000 I can't do it.

01:51:04.000 I had a guy that I was flatmates with when I was in college.

01:51:07.000 His name was Andy Buttons, which is a great name for a guy from Cornwall.

01:51:10.000 And he would always tell me, I'm like, what is this?

01:51:12.000 Blood pudding?

01:51:12.000 Or black pudding?

01:51:13.000 And he was like, yeah, mate.

01:51:14.000 He's like, this is congealed blood.

01:51:16.000 And I'm like, ah, pass.

01:51:17.000 After all of that.

01:51:18.000 So good.

01:51:19.000 So, here's the thing.

01:51:19.000 We need cultural enrichment, according to the political left.

01:51:21.000 They've told us this.

01:51:22.000 That's why we have to leave the border open.

01:51:24.000 I would propose that we start a non-profit, where we get cruise ships, and they start making treks from the original homeland in Britain, down to, let's say, Galveston, Texas, and we start swapping- The original homeland in Britain? 0.77

01:51:38.000 British?

01:51:38.000 Well, I'm talking about the country here.

01:51:40.000 This country has a British root, does it not?

01:51:41.000 We have British common law.

01:51:42.000 Don't let the law lie to you.

01:51:42.000 Yes, it 100% does.

01:51:43.000 I don't know if I'd ever call them the homeland, though.

01:51:45.000 I'm just telling you that we have a- No, no, no, no, Alad's right.

01:51:47.000 It's a motherland.

01:51:48.000 Okay, Motherland, call it what you like.

01:51:50.000 What I want to see is I want to see the cultural enrichment where we trade some of these people coming in off the southern border, cruise ships full of them, for Brits that are sick of being censored on social media and that are having a hard time with some of the bad ideas.

01:52:01.000 You want to surrender the Britain?

01:52:02.000 I want to bring the Brits here and put them through a Texas indoctrination camp. 1.00

01:52:05.000 We make them wear red coats.

01:52:07.000 They have to go out and shoot machine guns that are suppressed at Tannerite targets.

01:52:10.000 Until they raise the Gadsden flag and then we let them loose and maybe we let them vote too.

01:52:14.000 Like, let's just bring them in, let's Americanize these people.

01:52:16.000 Let's do a one-to-one swap.

01:52:17.000 I disagree.

01:52:18.000 Ecuadorians.

01:52:19.000 He's thought a lot about that.

01:52:20.000 I want to bend to Europe.

01:52:21.000 Nope, nope, nope.

01:52:22.000 It's wrong.

01:52:23.000 On cruise ships.

01:52:24.000 Wrong.

01:52:25.000 Excuse me.

01:52:26.000 Wrong.

01:52:27.000 No.

01:52:28.000 What we do is, when the people cross the border on the south, if they're criminals, they've

01:52:31.000 got to go back.

01:52:32.000 But if they're not criminals, and I mean like if they're criminals before crossing the border,

01:52:36.000 if the only crime they committed was crossing the border, then they've got to put on the

01:52:39.000 coats, then they've got to go do the shooting range with the Tannerite and all that stuff.

01:52:43.000 And in exchange, the communist leftists get sent to Ecuador.

01:52:46.000 Thank you.

01:52:47.000 We're going to export people to Ecuador too?

01:52:49.000 I think we should export people to England as well.

01:52:52.000 Let's do the cruise ship thing, it's fun.

01:52:53.000 I'm saying, the woke left, Venezuela awaits. 0.71

01:52:57.000 The communist socialists in this country, Venezuela is right there.

01:53:01.000 It's a utopia.

01:53:01.000 Make Venezuela great again.

01:53:03.000 All you got to do is take all these lefties, and I will pay to help them move to Venezuela. 0.94

01:53:08.000 How many are you willing to spot?

01:53:10.000 Depends on the cost of moving to Venezuela.

01:53:12.000 I can't imagine it being too expensive.

01:53:14.000 You're going to need a boat, let's be real.

01:53:16.000 Maduro may want some college-educated people in his country.

01:53:19.000 He may subsidize it.

01:53:20.000 That's also possible, too. 1.00

01:53:20.000 Or he might kill them all off. 1.00

01:53:21.000 No, Maduro is not going to do that. 0.95

01:53:23.000 He's going to just force them to do work they might not want to do.

01:53:27.000 You know what I mean?

01:53:28.000 I'd be down to make the UK four new states, if need be.

01:53:31.000 You want to annex the entire UK?

01:53:33.000 Yeah, just four new states.

01:53:35.000 What would happen with Ireland and Northern Ireland?

01:53:38.000 Northern Ireland is a US state.

01:53:39.000 Yeah, we'll just separate them, make them states, get over it.

01:53:43.000 I have a meme that somebody sent me and it's a MAGA guy and it's like a IRA guy and he's wearing the beret and he has like an RPG on his back.

01:53:51.000 And he goes, the MAGA guy goes, you know, I got jailed for walking around in the Capitol on January 6th.

01:53:56.000 And the IRA guy goes, he was like, lol, you got into the Capitol and you didn't blow it up?

01:54:04.000 They took it so much harder over there.

01:54:06.000 We have to agree that the 80s were harder in every way.

01:54:09.000 I was hoping with Brexit, you know, things were angling, they're leaving the EU, they're coming closer to us, you know, they're an island, they're not continentally attached.

01:54:18.000 They need to be annexed.

01:54:19.000 Down the line, down the line, once we're annexing parts of Canada, northern Mexico, when we have to annex, unfortunately, when we have to deal with the cartels, and then we'll bring the UK into the fold as well.

01:54:30.000 All of Hannah Clare's ancestors, all of the countries where Hannah Clare's from.

01:54:34.000 I'm happy.

01:54:35.000 You know, I love the relationship between England and the U.S.

01:54:38.000 when both countries are functional.

01:54:39.000 Would you like it better if we just conquered it?

01:54:41.000 Should we just?

01:54:43.000 You know, I think actually America does a bad job of ignoring their historic ties to Europe.

01:54:48.000 But the biggest issue is before we annex anybody, let us remove the mass immigration, the mass populations of illegal immigrants who have arrived in them. 0.99

01:54:57.000 Because I don't want to annex something and then have to just compound our current illegal immigration problem.

01:55:01.000 Inshallah Trump will handle that if elected again in 2024.

01:55:04.000 I think he said he was going to do mass deportations.

01:55:07.000 I'd sign up for that.

01:55:08.000 We got a tornado watch going on right now.

01:55:11.000 In West Virginia.

01:55:12.000 Do I live in the studio now?

01:55:13.000 I'm not going to be able to get home?

01:55:15.000 That's it.

01:55:15.000 You're here.

01:55:16.000 But those only watches.

01:55:18.000 We have a flood warning happening right now.

01:55:21.000 Let's see.

01:55:22.000 And this is from the tropical storm that originally hit North Carolina, I believe, and actually forced Kamala Harris to postpone a rally, I believe, she was supposed to have there earlier today.

01:55:32.000 Wow, look at you putting everything back into politics.

01:55:35.000 That was well done.

01:55:37.000 Reflexive.

01:55:37.000 Everybody was impressed.

01:55:40.000 So do you think people are getting political fatigue a lot?

01:55:44.000 Because you're on the ground so much.

01:55:45.000 Oh no, we're just getting back into the fold again.

01:55:48.000 And we're at the final sprint of the last hundred days.

01:55:51.000 It's been super exciting.

01:55:53.000 Happy to see the rallies kick up again.

01:55:55.000 And these are big rallies.

01:55:56.000 These aren't just like Congress members and like senators having rallies.

01:56:00.000 These are presidential candidates having rallies.

01:56:02.000 And, you know, they're introduced by the congressmen and senators.

01:56:04.000 It's a very exciting time.

01:56:05.000 What do you think about Gwen Walsh shaking hands with Tim on the stage before hugging him? 0.82

01:56:12.000 Have you ever seen a husband and wife shake hands?

01:56:15.000 I haven't seen that much.

01:56:16.000 Especially with Kamala kissing Doug Emhoff right behind them while they were shaking.

01:56:21.000 I didn't realize how effeminate Doug Emhoff was when I heard him do that fake phone call that they did.

01:56:26.000 This man willingly got called the second husband for three and a half years?

01:56:29.000 I understand that part.

01:56:30.000 I get that there's a posture person, but I've never actually listened to him speak and been like, oh my.

01:56:36.000 That is a very weak constitution that he has presented.

01:56:40.000 I gotta read this one, this is from Barrett1313, he says, pie, apple, pecan, etc., pie is based.

01:56:45.000 All pies are great, don't care what they are.

01:56:48.000 If it is a banana cream pie, sure, I'd prefer an apple pie, but pie is great.

01:56:52.000 Cake?

01:56:52.000 Boring.

01:56:53.000 Pie feels inherently American.

01:56:55.000 I don't know why I feel that way.

01:56:57.000 It's a pure dessert.

01:56:58.000 It just, it makes it, when I think of pie, I think of it like on a shelf next to an American flag.

01:57:02.000 Galette is like an open-faced pie.

01:57:05.000 So the crust only covers probably like a third on the outer rim?

01:57:08.000 If it's a cousin of pie, then it's good.

01:57:11.000 Yeah, it's clearly a cousin.

01:57:12.000 Cake boring.

01:57:13.000 Maybe even closer relative than cake.

01:57:15.000 Flourless chocolate cake, which is basically fudge, it's okay.

01:57:18.000 I'd prefer that.

01:57:18.000 If you add like a flourless chocolate lava cake, that's not even cake.

01:57:22.000 That's something else.

01:57:23.000 That's like a fudgy explosion.

01:57:24.000 I love it.

01:57:25.000 If that happens, you're at Chili's.

01:57:27.000 Uh, where did I get one of those last?

01:57:28.000 I don't remember.

01:57:30.000 Bricks in Martinsburg?

01:57:31.000 Do they have that?

01:57:32.000 Yeah, theirs is really good.

01:57:33.000 My buddy tried to bring something up called the Chili's Challenge.

01:57:35.000 He would call girls up that he was friends with and invite them to lunch, and then they'd be like, where do you want to go?

01:57:39.000 And he'd be like, I don't know, where do you want to go?

01:57:40.000 And they'd be like, I don't know.

01:57:40.000 And he'd be like, how about Chili's?

01:57:42.000 And he would always, like, offer Chili's, and then they would be really mad about it and insulted.

01:57:45.000 Like, for some reason, women are really angry about going to Chili's. 0.98

01:57:48.000 And then he would always do, like, this half-assed recovery.

01:57:50.000 He's like, you know, they have, like, pretty good service, and the food's always, like, pretty normal.

01:57:53.000 And they'd be like, I'm not interested.

01:57:55.000 I'm not going there.

01:57:56.000 He would call like one person a week and try to make this- you can't make chilis happen apparently with- Really? 0.98

01:58:00.000 I don't- I don't want to go to Chili's.

01:58:01.000 I'll take my wife to Chili's in a heartbeat. 1.00

01:58:03.000 I don't care.

01:58:03.000 Would you rather go to Chili's or Applebee's?

01:58:05.000 Chili's. 0.99

01:58:06.000 See?

01:58:06.000 Oh, Applebee's.

01:58:06.000 A hundred times out of a hundred.

01:58:08.000 Applebee's.

01:58:08.000 But I used to work at Chili's.

01:58:09.000 I worked at multiple Chili's.

01:58:10.000 So you're brainwashed.

01:58:11.000 You don't count.

01:58:12.000 Clearly.

01:58:12.000 I worked at the original Chili's in North Dallas in Texas, and then I also worked at the highest volume Chili's at the time in Oklahoma City.

01:58:19.000 Wow.

01:58:20.000 I got some Chili's cred.

01:58:22.000 So, just saying.

01:58:23.000 Are they gonna sponsor your show?

01:58:24.000 He's very chill.

01:58:24.000 Absolutely not.

01:58:26.000 No, it's Breaker International.

01:58:27.000 Their woke is all get out.

01:58:28.000 Like, they're that.

01:58:29.000 Ruby Tuesday is a salad bar, don't they?

01:58:30.000 Yeah, I think they do.

01:58:31.000 They win.

01:58:32.000 I got kicked out of a Ruby Tuesdays because I wouldn't wear a mask with my girls.

01:58:36.000 Oh, then no.

01:58:36.000 There's a restaurant in Martinsburg that has a nacho bar.

01:58:40.000 Nacho bar is a good idea.

01:58:42.000 They have that at Chewy's.

01:58:43.000 They always have that at Chewy's.

01:58:45.000 Oh, really?

01:58:45.000 Which is an Austin original, but now they have them in Virginia.

01:58:47.000 So you can find them up here.

01:58:50.000 There's one in Woodbridge.

01:58:51.000 We were looking for a restaurant, and then someone recommended this restaurant in Martinsburg.

01:58:54.000 I forgot what it's called, but they were like, they have a nacho bar.

01:58:56.000 So you go, and you just, they say, nacho bar is just nacho bar.

01:59:00.000 You do whatever you want, and there's chips, and there's all this.

01:59:02.000 You're like, who's bar is this?

01:59:03.000 You're like, I don't know, it's nacho bar.

01:59:04.000 Oh, it was nuts.

01:59:04.000 I just, I just took the whole thing of sour cream and just dumped it on the plate.

01:59:06.000 I am a dad, I got four kids.

01:59:07.000 These restaurants sound nice, but Lebanese and Palestinian restaurants are far superior. 1.00

01:59:12.000 Okay, Brooklyn, just calm down. 1.00

01:59:13.000 You said Palestinian?

01:59:14.000 Yeah, Lebanese and Palestinian food.

01:59:16.000 Where's Palestinian food?

01:59:17.000 It's like Lebanese food, it's just like Middle Eastern.

01:59:19.000 I do like Lebanese.

01:59:20.000 A little bit more terroristic?

01:59:21.000 A little bit.

01:59:22.000 I think their falafel is shaped a little differently.

01:59:24.000 Huh.

01:59:25.000 Do you ever have Turkish food?

01:59:27.000 Uh, like, isn't it just different kebabs? 1.00

01:59:29.000 No, they have this, uh, they have a dessert.

01:59:32.000 Is that offensive?

01:59:33.000 They have a dessert that looks like vanilla pudding, but it's actually made of pulled chicken.

01:59:37.000 I don't want that.

01:59:38.000 So it's delicious.

01:59:39.000 I believe you, but I don't want it.

01:59:40.000 And it's crazy.

01:59:40.000 So I went in and I was like, oh, what's this?

01:59:42.000 And they're like, it's a dessert.

01:59:43.000 And I got it.

01:59:44.000 And I'm like, this is great.

01:59:45.000 It's like cinnamon vanilla pudding.

01:59:46.000 And my friend, Turkish guy, was like, it's chicken. 1.00

01:59:48.000 And I was like, ha ha.

01:59:50.000 He's like, no, it's chicken.

01:59:51.000 And then he like looked it up and explained it to me.

01:59:53.000 And he's like, you pull the chicken and then you mix it with something.

01:59:55.000 I was like, well, it's delicious.

01:59:57.000 So I'll eat it.

01:59:58.000 And then they have something that they call the Iskander.

02:00:02.000 And it's because, uh, it's named after Alexander the Great.

02:00:03.000 That's what he told me.

02:00:05.000 And he said that it's because his name was Alexander, and they thought Al is the, so they thought it was the Xander, so they made a food called the Iskander.

02:00:12.000 I'm for it.

02:00:14.000 I'm for weird names.

02:00:15.000 This was in Turkey?

02:00:16.000 Islak Burger in Taksim Square.

02:00:18.000 If you're ever in Taksim, because, I don't know, I don't know who would want to be there right now, but the glorious after-hours bar food is called the Wet Hamburger, the Islak Burger.

02:00:28.000 And it is like a lamb burger and a bun they dip in this oily sauce and then put under a heat lamp.

02:00:34.000 And it's basically people who are getting out of the bars and drunk and want food.

02:00:37.000 It's like a buck and then you get this.

02:00:39.000 It's so good.

02:00:40.000 It's a soggy, wet burger.
