On this week's show, we discuss the fallout from the Tenacious D. tour being canceled, a leaked phone call between Donald Trump and RFK Jr. about childhood vaccines, and the aftermath of the mass shooting in Las Vegas. Plus, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stops by the show to talk about her new legislation to defund the Secret Service.
00:00:27.000And in it, Donald Trump is asking for RFK Jr.' 's endorsement, saying, it'll be really good for you, we're gonna win this thing.
00:00:34.000And he also questions the safety of childhood vaccines, which I kind of feel like is him saying, come on, you know, I'll throw you some red meat, I'll get you.
00:00:55.000On stage, just the other night, Kyle Gass, one of the members of the band, made a joke saying he wished the shooter didn't miss.
00:01:03.000And then, the next day, Jack Black announces the band is done, all future endeavors are on hiatus, or he didn't say the band was literally done, he says all future creative works are on hold, and the tour is over.
00:01:14.000Kyle Gass has apologized, so we'll talk about all of that.
00:01:18.000We've got Donald Trump's secret service detail no longer has women in it.
00:01:22.000And then, of course, tons of people are getting fired from their jobs for posting on social media that they are upset the shooter missed.
00:01:33.000His prediction market, all of it's surging.

00:02:22.000We were able to get her in for just a few minutes to talk about legislation she is preparing to defund, to target the Secret Service over their failures and hold accountable the people involved I gotta tell you, it was a great conversation because we don't pull punches.
00:02:36.000We are questioning whether there was an official capacity to this because of how this all went down, and this is why we want subpoenas and we want answers.

00:02:54.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is The Quartering.
00:04:59.000They say a leaked video of a phone call between former President Donald Trump and the independent presidential candidate RFK Jr.
00:05:04.000on the day after the attempted assassination of Trump offered a behind-the-scenes look into the former president's efforts to coax Mr. Kennedy out of the race and into his camp.
00:05:14.000The video was first posted early Tuesday morning by Mr. Kennedy's eldest son, Bobby Kennedy III, and then swiftly deleted According to screenshots of the original message and a person briefed on the matter, the younger Mr. Kennedy criticized Mr. Trump for his vice presidential pick and said he wanted to expose his real opinion on vaccinations.
00:05:32.000The video provides a glimpse of the private relationship between Trump and Kennedy, who have long been friendly, though Mr. Trump has publicly criticized Mr. Kennedy during the campaign.
00:05:41.000Mr. Kennedy apologized for the leaked video almost immediately on Axe, the same social media site where the video first appeared on Tuesday morning.
00:05:47.000When President Trump called me, I was taping with an in-house videographer.
00:05:51.000I should have ordered the videographer to stop recording immediately.
00:05:56.000So in this call, Trump basically is saying, you should endorse me, we're gonna win this, it would be really, really big for you.
00:06:04.000They go on in the New York Times to mention, quote, I want to do small doses, Mr. Trump said, before observing that the practice of giving multiple vaccinations at once means the shot, quote, looks like it's meant for a horse, not a, you know, a 10-pound or 20-pound baby.
00:06:18.000Mr. Kennedy and the organization he co-founded, Children's Health Defense, have for years promoted claims about the health risks of childhood vaccinations that have repeatedly been refuted by studies.
00:06:27.000And then you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically.
00:06:59.000You know, like he must be in so much trouble with his dad.
00:07:01.000The fact that he was the one to post it.
00:07:03.000I mean, I just think that this is like, you know, I cannot imagine the father-son screen match that occurred.
00:07:08.000It was a fascinating conversation, and there's a lot of history here, particularly with the backstory between RFK and Donald Trump.
00:07:16.000Now, if anyone you would want to talk about political assassinations with, it's with the RFK family, especially after being targeted for assassination by what many people believe to be an internal plot by the government.
00:07:31.000A couple years ago, Donald Trump was actually looking into investigating childhood vaccine schedules, and said that he would launch an official investigation.
00:07:40.000RFK has always said that there was no double-blind placebo studies on these vaccinations.
00:07:45.000Donald Trump promised to give him one, and according to Bill Gates, this is according to him himself, He said that he was able to influence Donald Trump and stop that investigation from taking place.
00:07:56.000Bill Gates is heavily investigated in vaccinations, and this conversation was very eye-opening, and it could have been deliberately released in order to make people understand where Donald Trump stands on the vaccination issue, since I wouldn't be surprised if this was even an internal leak by Donald Trump himself to reassure people about his larger kind of vaccination stance.
00:08:17.000Well, I think we know that it was RFK Jr.' 's kid who did post it and then quickly deleted it, right?
00:08:22.000The screenshots show that he posted it.
00:08:30.000I just bring that up because the suggestion then would be Donald Trump and RFK, they knew what was going to happen, they wanted him to post it, and so it was basically a coordinated way.
00:08:37.000What better way to make it look than an accident?
00:08:44.000And I want to say one thing, you know, Del Bigtree's done some great research on this.
00:08:47.000And you know, a lot of people, you know, we can only say so much on YouTube about vaccines, but a lot of people blame vaccines for a lot of issues.
00:08:53.000But actually, the fact that men are having babies later, that is actually one of the reasons that there's a higher occurrence of autism.
00:09:02.000A lot of people blame that on vaccines, but a lot of it is... I thought a lot of people blame that on women as well.
00:09:09.000Everybody wants to blame it on vaccines and I'm the biggest anti, you know, whatever, I don't want to say it for you two, but there are other stuff that causes that that people don't talk about.
00:09:18.000We just don't talk about our health overall in the United States.
00:09:20.000I think it's a very, like, we maybe listen to the doctors, we kind of ignore it because it makes us think of our own mortality.
00:09:27.000And so I think generally it is good to pursue lifestyles that are healthy, having kids at a reasonable age, not in your 60s or whatever.
00:09:33.000But, you know, whether it be medicine or, you know, 30s or 40s, you're right, people defer for so long.
00:09:39.000Whether it be medicine, lifestyle, exercise, whatever it is, I think American people get information that is not totally accurate.
00:09:47.000on the show, and what I love about him, and where his passion really shines, is on environmental factors of all different cases, and how they affect the endocrine system, how they're negatively affecting our health, and you can tell he's super passionate about it, knowledgeable about it.
00:10:00.000He was talking about plastics and phthalates and all of these things, and he's right!
00:10:17.000There were ads in the past where it was, like, a teaspoon of sugar for that quick, low-calorie energy, and it was, like, a woman spooning sugar in her mouth.
00:10:48.000So I think also that intelligence agencies were involved here from my own personal experience, from what I gathered, from all the circumstantial evidence that we have right now.
00:10:56.000It is, in my opinion, a complete inside job.
00:10:59.000There's no other way to figure it out.
00:11:02.000I don't know that I would agree to use the phrase inside job.
00:11:04.000I would say the idea that a lone crazy guy for 26 minutes was walking around with a rangefinder and a gun and a ladder and like got on top of the police's own building is an absurdity.
00:11:15.000I think the simple thing to say is, possibly, inside job, but there's more to this than a single guy who was crazy.
00:11:23.000There was some kind of coordinated effort.
00:11:25.000Either it completely dismantled the security apparatus, the security apparatus was involved in some way, but negligence doesn't cut it.
00:11:32.000What I could say is that as a former 20-pound baby, I speak for all 20-pound babies, I just want to, you started to touch on it, what an absolute pro Trump is.
00:11:42.000He literally just survived the most probably traumatic thing he'd ever imagined he would survive.
00:12:05.000And it's fascinating because Kennedy, you know, he had spoken out in support of Trump in the days after.
00:12:12.000And I think that there is a coalition forming right now of voters who are like, well, we would like to see some partnership, some work between Trump and Kennedy in the future.
00:12:21.000Well, Kennedy is a long-shot candidate anyways, but again, his area of expertise, his interest in the environment and health and the way medicine and the products we're using are affecting people is genuine.
00:12:32.000And I think Trump can see that that is something that American voters really want more of.
00:12:37.000Some other context to think about here.
00:12:52.000I'm surprised they didn't do this phone call in like a, in a pool, in an underground bunker with a fair day cage all around them.
00:12:59.000Because this was a call that the intel agencies probably were listening into.
00:13:04.000And getting a lot of data out of, but the extent of it, how long it was, really does say that these guys have a lot more in common than we know about.
00:13:13.000I think this also tells to a fascinating political strategy that the Trump campaign is working on, because if they want RFK Jr.
00:13:21.000to drop out and endorse them, then that means they think that he takes more from them than he would from Joe Biden.
00:13:28.000Otherwise, you would want to keep him in the race.
00:13:32.000I mean, there was just a poll done recently that said, you know, this is a Texas Senate race, so they're comparing Ted Cruz to the Democratic challenger, and they're saying that the majority of people who plan to support RFK Also plan to vote for Biden.
00:13:47.000I mean, yes, they want to vote for the Democratic candidate in Texas.
00:14:02.000is pulling, let's say, I don't know, three percent from Trump and six from Joe Biden, then if Donald Trump gained those three points, It would effectively neutralize it.
00:16:32.000Vance plays really well in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio.
00:16:35.000That's why he wants him on the ticket, because when you look at the polling data, he won Pennsylvania.
00:16:40.000Right now, Pennsylvania's going Trump, especially after what happened.
00:16:44.000It's leaning Republican in Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina.
00:16:48.000I mean, Trump's securing his locations, but Wisconsin and Michigan are still toss-ups in the polling data.
00:16:53.000I don't think that's fair, because the internal polling data that got leaked shows it's the apocalypse for Biden based on his broken brain alone.
00:17:00.000But Trump is saying, we don't just stop now.
00:17:03.000Now that everyone said, I can't lose, this is when you yell charge.
00:17:43.000So like, people still need to get out and vote, and they need to tell their friends to vote, and they need to bring their cousins and everybody else.
00:17:48.000Because we're not just up against an argument.
00:17:51.000This was the mistake Republicans made in 2020.
00:17:53.000They said, Donald Trump won the argument.
00:17:55.000He had three great years, they lied about all of these things, COVID is bad, I'm not gonna blame him for all of it, but We want Trump to win, and here's the argument we've presented, and then Democrats went out and ballot harvested.
00:18:26.000This is exactly what I'm saying for him to do, which would be more of a strategic move, because months ago I was specifically saying his VP pick needs to be someone that will safeguard him from assassination.
00:18:38.000I was saying that specifically months and months ago, and to me this was an okay pick.
00:18:43.000It wasn't the best pick, but he could have Safeguarded himself in a more secure way by picking someone that's way more of an anti-establishment figure that would have scared the intel agencies from taking him out in the future.
00:18:54.000I don't think Trump is safe with this pick, personally, myself.
00:18:57.000Well, whether or not Trump is safe, let's jump to this next story from the Daily Mail.
00:19:34.000We'll need an investigation, subpoenas, whistleblowers, etc.
00:19:37.000But many people are criticizing that Trump had, what, like four women in his Secret Service detail?
00:19:43.000Now, apparently, the woman that everyone is highlighting on the left isn't a part of Trump's traditional detail, and she was additional security that ran to his aid and did not know what their plans were.
00:19:53.000So I don't think In that regard, it's fair to criticize.
00:19:56.000I do think, however, it is fair to criticize that these women are not large enough to provide Trump cover, who is like a six foot one large man.
00:20:03.000And when these women are trying to surround him, I mean, look, it's honorable.
00:20:07.000These people use their bodies as shields for the people that we care about, but they're not large enough people.
00:22:47.000Can these people shield the person they're supposed to protect?
00:22:49.000And if the answer is no, then we have a problem.
00:22:52.000Yeah, a woman, I think, can take a bullet just as good as a man can.
00:22:54.000I don't really have an issue with women being in Secret Service.
00:22:57.000I know that people may disagree with me.
00:22:59.000But the implication is that when you have a literal quota of 30%, we want to have 30% women, then the natural question is, as it always is with DEI and gender and race initiatives, is that are you, the implication is, the question is, are you Perhaps lowering standards.
00:23:59.000And one of the things that I immediately thought after I saw the video was like, oh, because it's majority women, they cannot physically push him off stage.
00:24:33.000I mean, it doesn't matter how many lesbians you have there.
00:24:37.000They had a serious issue of insubordination by not having somebody there.
00:24:41.000Can we just point this out that The scenario being presented in the press that they want it to be is that women are the reason they didn't secure quite literally the only sniper vantage point to the president.
00:24:55.000Like, if you're going to secure an area with one building next to it, It's not a hard job to do.
00:25:01.000And they're coming out being like, well, maybe, you know, there's no women.
00:25:06.000I'm saying that I don't think that the the narrative of a crazed gunman climbed in a building makes sense because there's one building to secure and they did not.
00:25:15.000Well, they were inside the building, so is that good enough?
00:25:18.000That was one of the weirdest things to me.
00:25:40.000And again, I'm going to refer to this ABC interview that Kimberly Chito, the director of the Secret Service, did yesterday, and she said, the buck stops with me, and it's our responsibility as the Secret Service to protect the former president.
00:25:52.000But we weren't in charge of securing that building.
00:25:55.000She's immediately shifting the blame away from herself.
00:25:57.000And again, that begs the question, if it was a local state trooper or anything else who took out the shooter, doesn't he deserve some sort of recognition and credit?
00:26:07.000Hopefully these things come out because the Secret Service is somehow both claiming credit and there were obviously brave agents who took action that day.
00:26:14.000But overall, they seem to have failed.
00:26:16.000I think we could widely agree that the Secret Service and law enforcement failed on every level here.
00:26:22.000I think one of the most more troubling things to deal with, though, is that most congressmen and senators, or I think almost none, have security.
00:26:29.000So only, you know, former presidents and their first ladies and some of their family really has the Secret Service.
00:26:35.000I don't know what this means for those people.
00:26:38.000We've seen the political climate get more heated recently.
00:26:41.000Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked recently.
00:26:44.000I think there was an attack against one of the Supreme Court justices.
00:26:49.000Of course, the congressional baseball game a handful of years ago.
00:26:53.000What does this say for those people if allegedly a lone gunman can get through Secret Service?
00:27:00.000What does that say for everybody else?
00:27:01.000I just want to stress that if I were to write a script, And this was the story?
00:27:06.000They'd be like, like, I know you're writing a fiction action movie, but this is not believable.
00:27:10.000Like, at least make it a little realistic.
00:27:12.000Well, and Kimberly Cheadle was on Biden's detail when he was vice president from what I read in the statement when he acknowledged her appointment.
00:27:19.000And so there has to be a level of like, at one point you were theoretically good at this.
00:27:25.000What happened now where this agency seems to be in disarray?
00:27:28.000Can we give a shout out to, I think, Elon's absolutely epic burn of reminding people that she was previously in charge of defending Cheetos before defending the president.
00:27:59.000Obviously they're not, but it's funny that she changes jobs and there's always jokes about revolving doors in politics and it's like she takes his position.
00:28:10.000I just love that the excuse now... Why isn't Time Magazine writing the article saying, hey, no reasonable person could conclude that one guy was able to pull this off?
00:28:20.000Instead, they're like, critics are coming out blaming women, perhaps.
00:28:47.000I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but since DEI is a literal, like, hot button get-out-of-jail-free card right now, Microsoft's like, uh, we're just banning our DEI, entire DEI department.
00:28:56.000Like, I wonder what's coming down the pipeline for Microsoft that they're gonna clear them out.
00:29:00.000I gotta show this video. Everyone's got to see it. This is um, I it says at point consciousness posted this
00:29:07.000Jedi Hill posted the video. This is a slow motion They wireframe Trump's head
00:29:13.000Then they show an overhead view a 3d rendering of the path of the bullet and Trump's movements
00:29:21.000Literally two or three seconds before and watch this Take a look what happened
00:29:27.000Take a look This is what's really fascinating.
00:29:37.000When the head on the bottom is an overhead shot of a wireframe of Trump's face, it really does track.
00:31:30.000Trump's head's lined up and then within a couple seconds, this is a slow motion video, from zero to four seconds is when that shot rings out.
00:31:41.000And we're talking about, this is slowed down to about 70, 60 percent.
00:31:44.000So we're looking at two and a half seconds where Trump moves his head and what would have gone through his eye and at the back of his skull grazes his ear.
00:31:52.000You know, they said that this kid didn't make the rifle team at his high school because he was so bad.
00:32:52.000However, I don't know that I even care for that.
00:32:53.000When you look at that wireframe, it looks like- It's close enough.
00:32:56.000No, it looks like he did have him, and he had him lined up, and he was ready to go, and then Trump went, head turn, and then went down, and he probably had him in his sights.
00:33:52.000We've got a bunch of updates to go through.
00:33:54.000This was the remainder of their tour dates.
00:33:56.000They had eleven tour dates, nine of which were sold out, all shut down.
00:34:01.000Now, what was crazy to me was hearing this, that it seemed like what happened was, with Jack Black not addressing this on stage, with not hearing any word until the next day, it seemed like Jack must have gone to Kyle Gass and said, apologized.
00:34:40.000He said this morning, the line I improvised on stage Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous, and a terrible mistake.
00:34:47.000I don't condone violence of any kind in any form against anyone.
00:34:51.000What happened was a tragedy and I'm incredibly sorry for my severe lack of judgment.
00:34:54.000I profoundly apologize to those I've let down and truly regret any pain I've caused.
00:35:00.000Now what I've heard since then throughout the day...
00:35:03.000They're not act- I don't know if they're actually sincere or they actually care.
00:35:07.000Rumor is, they didn't intentionally cancel their tour.
00:35:11.000The insurance companies said, we cannot insure you when you say these things, and we are out.
00:35:16.000The venues then said, if you don't have insurance, you don't have a show.
00:35:19.000And that ended the tour, and they have no recourse.
00:35:22.000On that, and there's a Senator Ralph Babbitt, he's an Australian Senator, sent out a message saying they should be deported.
00:35:28.000He said that there's no place in Australia for anyone who calls for another person's assassination, and he contrasted it to the way Australia reacted when Novak Djokovic, sorry guys, the tennis player, I can't say it.
00:36:10.000I will say, I think he said what a lot of people on the far left do believe.
00:36:15.000Communists do want, who do believe, but Donald Trump as Hitler did want him to get shot in the head.
00:36:23.000I do not think Kyle Gass actually wanted that.
00:36:25.000I think that for the past 15 or so years, liberals have built a culture of calling for violence, saying, punch a Nazi, advocating for these things, depicting themselves holding up Trump's head or pointing guns at him, and Kyle thought he was making the liberal joke that was acceptable in liberal circles without thought.
00:36:42.000But the attitude has shifted in Western society because a man literally killed people that day, or he killed a man that day, nearly killed several more who are still in the hospital, and Donald Trump also took a bullet to the side of his head.
00:36:54.000They still are living in this world where it's okay to make these jokes, and now, uh-oh, what they don't realize is that when they would go on social media and say punch a Nazi and get away with it, because they had control of the cultural levers, all that matters now is the insurance company said, um, Mr. Black, you do realize that there are crazy people who have just tried to kill the president of the United States, the frontrunner for the presidency and a former president, Uh, yeah, if you're saying you want that to happen, we can't provide insurance for your venue.
00:37:23.000And they're going, whoa, whoa, whoa, but we make these jokes all the time!
00:37:38.000He has said many, many times, after having been questioned many times about this, that he's not stepping down and he's going to be the nominee.
00:37:44.000So, at some point, Democrats have to decide that they want to try to win this election and turn their fire on Donald Trump.
00:37:52.000I think there is... I shouldn't have said turn their fire.
00:38:05.000Do we really think that, like, that turn of phrase is what... No, but it is kind of a rhetoric that's like this, kind of like, you know... I do not care on a normal day that someone says, turn their fire, or put them in the bullseye, or whatever.
00:38:20.000The issue is, the snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche.
00:38:23.000And after ten years of them saying, this man is literally Hitler who must be stopped by any means necessary, and then...
00:38:29.000After someone actually takes a shot at the man and kills an innocent bystander, it is right, it is correct for them, and I respect that she said, I shouldn't have said it that way.
00:38:59.000I accept your apology, because now with that apology, and with us accepting it, they're going to go back on stage acknowledging the way the culture has shifted.
00:39:33.000Vance has come out a long time after those comments he made saying it was inappropriate, he shouldn't have said those things, he's realized why he was wrong, and now he's literally the VP.
00:39:41.000That's why I'm for paths to redemption.
00:39:44.000What we show, I say, bring back Tenacious D, bring back the tour.
00:39:49.000I understand you made a joke, you didn't realize the nature of what you were saying, you've apologized for it, and now what we do is we wave that flag around to make sure everyone knows, do not say this about Donald Trump, do not engage his behavior, it is no longer acceptable, and you will lose your livelihood and your job, we don't want to see that happen to you, so be nice and play fair.
00:40:09.000No, I'll take like 20 of these people getting cancelled forever, thank you very much.
00:40:12.000The beautiful trend on the right, this theme of redemption.
00:40:36.000It's not enough to say like I'm sorry I didn't mean it that one time and then be like well I'm gonna use a different allusion to violence to talk about this.
00:40:42.000You have to repent and change course but I think that there has to be a path for both things like you can remember that someone did something wrong but if they repent be like okay how do we move forward because if we always get stuck in these cycles of like well you said this mean thing and I said this mean thing and whatever else like there's no there's no way forward from there.
00:40:59.000The most important thing I see here is if we tell Kyle Gass and Jack Black, who have tens of millions of fans, Jack Black, who is in these blockbuster children's movies, that there's no path to redemption, I guarantee you what they do.
00:41:14.000They don't want to lose their livelihoods.
00:41:15.000They're going to say, okay, they're going to have a business meeting and say, we have basically lost the entirety of conservative and moderate America.
00:42:28.000And they're marching about as the culture told them it was okay.
00:42:32.000Kyle Gass made this joke because All of these people have been going online and getting away with it for so long that it's normalized to them.
00:43:20.000But whatever there is, whatever reason, like maybe the venues cancel them, but also maybe they themselves as a band have been split over this issue, whether it be financial or ethical.
00:43:29.000Yeah, I mean, Jack Black is definitely, like Tim said, I 100% agree.
00:43:33.000Obviously he's a Biden guy, but I still like him and I still like some of his movies, especially High Fidelity, shout out.
00:44:42.000When we set up an event, and our insurance company, our security companies, and everybody says, we will not provide a service to you because we can't secure it if people have guns, and we're like, well it's not even about what we choose to do.
00:44:52.000So with that in mind, when Jack Black comes out and says, I no longer feel it's appropriate to continue the tour, Certainly, it seems like a dramatic overreaction to say there's no tour and no future plans anymore.
00:45:05.000Instead of them coming out and saying, our venues have all pulled from us and we've become pariahs, he's saying, no, no, I've made the high road choice to say we shouldn't because we're good people.
00:45:49.000It's a funny movie, and like I said, these guys live in this liberal culture where they were allowed, it's not so much they're allowed to do it, it's that People were posting these things and getting followers from it.
00:46:00.000So in their minds, they're thinking, this is what the people want, this is what they expect, and now that's changed.
00:46:04.000There's somebody going on a pretty wild meltdown on Twitter right now, and they're gaining a lot of followers, too.
00:46:09.000So it's still getting positively reinforced, at least on social media, when people are saying stuff like, aw, screw that fireman who passed away heroically protecting his family.
00:46:19.000It's still out there, but at least... Well, let's jump to the story.
00:47:21.000So they're seeing what Libs is highlighting, like, look what this person's saying, and then people are reaching out to the schools, to the fire department, to the businesses, and getting these people fired.
00:47:30.000In Home Depot, this image you're seeing right here, this was a guy who saw her post and then went there and said, are you so-and-so?
00:48:09.000A teacher maybe, but Home Depot, come on!
00:48:11.000Everybody wants to argue, cancel culture is wrong, cancel culture is bad.
00:48:15.000We talked about it a little bit last night, but I'll explain why Home Depot should fire her.
00:48:18.000Home Depot is trying to sell goods and services, and she's going into public forums and calling for the death, for criminal activities that would destroy this country, rip apart the fabric of society.
00:48:29.000Now, I don't like That there's a threat to free speech in this regard, but I respect a private business saying, hey, you're engaging in what is borderline criminal behavior, calling for the assassination of a president.
00:48:42.000That gets you a knock on the door by the Feds and the Secret Service.
00:48:45.000If you want to do that, you can, but not if you're working here, because we're just trying to sell lumber and gardening tools.
00:48:51.000Should people be reaching out and hunting these people down and doing all this stuff?
00:49:46.000If a business thinks that you're causing harm to them in a reasonable manner, it is not reasonable for Twitter to ban someone for a political opinion.
00:49:55.000It is not reasonable for someone to fire a person from the company over something they said years and years ago.
00:50:00.000But if you are actually working for a company and espousing things in public that reflect on that company, I'm not surprised.
00:50:05.000And private businesses have the right to say, look, we don't want to work with you in this regard.
00:50:08.000Just as long as they're being reasonable.
00:50:10.000But more importantly, this is bordering on criminal activity.
00:50:15.000The only thing I can contrast it with quickly is, like, if this Home Depot cashier was posting on Facebook, you know, someone in my local community should unalive themselves or should get beat up or something like that.
00:50:27.000Like, if they were calling for something like that to happen with, like, I don't know, someone who lives in this town or this area, is that, like, and I don't know off the top of my head, like, how would police respond to that?
00:50:51.000I blame the intel agencies that have promoted Trump derangement syndrome through social media, through the corporate media.
00:50:57.000They're the ones that have gaslit and manipulated the American people to be so Polarized here, and if we look at all of this, I blame the Intel agencies.
00:51:05.000Now, you could say inside job, you could say it's not an inside job.
00:51:09.000They had a hand when it came to radicalizing Americans to hate Donald Trump, to think that he's Hitler, to think that he's going to be attacking democracy.
00:51:17.000So at the end of the day, this woman is a byproduct of what a lot of Americans are thinking, but they aren't saying.
00:51:25.000So I understand whether we're going to counsel her or not, but the bigger conversation needs to be the gaslighting of the American people.
00:51:32.000I agree, and I want to stress a point.
00:51:34.000I had a great discussion the other day on principles and morals.
00:51:37.000We've talked about it on this show, and one example I'd like to give on the meaninglessness of this principle statement people give, I think morals matter more.
00:51:48.000There are people on the right who say, or people on the left, who say the government shouldn't tell people what to
00:52:46.000The reason why my moral line says I won't tolerate this?
00:52:50.000The end result of this avalanche that they're causing with advocating for assassinations resulted in a dead man who was shot and killed protecting his family and I gotta be completely honest, like, if Donald Trump took that hit, we're talking, like Viva Frye said, Franz Ferdinand level, World War III, international collapse.
00:53:09.000Yo, these people aren't just going on and saying, I have a bad political opinion, they're saying the world should be ripped asunder, and we have to at some point say, Okay, guys, at the very least, chill out on this.
00:53:21.000Now, that being said, Raymond G. Maga Stanley Jr.
00:53:23.000asked if she apologized, get your job back?
00:53:28.000And I actually do have a weariness about me that people are messaging their businesses and saying, hey, look what they're posting and all that stuff.
00:53:36.000But the one thing I'll add, lastly, before I shut up and stop ranting, This never would have happened, that the average person would be going out to public square, like the town center, yelling they want this to happen.
00:53:48.000They think they can go online and say whatever they want.
00:53:51.000But I will stress again, ten years ago, when someone went on Twitter and said Learn to Code and got banned, is not the same thing as going into the public square and calling for, advocating for, or wishing that an assassination would take place.
00:54:04.000That's way outside the social contract.
00:54:06.000I think I would say these are the same people who would have laughed about people being banned and said, oh, freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences.
00:54:16.000What I'll say about people, several of these people, I would say it's a stretch to say they're calling for it.
00:54:39.000In my opinion, you don't want to become what you're fighting, and if we're going to cast blame, it should be on the intel agencies that are the ones that are calling for a lot of this radicalism.
00:55:04.000We can't have people running around society going to each other and saying someone should do it right next time because The left calls it stochastic terrorism, when the right says things like, illegal aliens that aren't in the country, many of them are criminals.
00:55:19.000What is stochastic terrorism is when the media comes out, and I agree with Luke on this one, and says, Trump is an existential threat to us and our democracy, and must be stopped by any means necessary, and then they pause and go, at the ballot box is where we'll do it.
00:55:34.000But it's like, okay dude, we know what you're doing.
00:55:36.000It is the, oh won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest.
00:55:39.000Now that being said, I think it's fair to say we do believe in free speech, and I don't like the idea that people will say what they truly believe and then have their lives ruined over it.
00:55:52.000Like I said, I will not engage in hunting people's jobs down, getting them fired.
00:55:56.000I don't think anyone should be doing that, but I will never defend people who are on the side of the destruction of our morals, our lives.
00:56:04.000There's a reason why one of the Ten Commandments, honor thy father and thy mother, And it doesn't matter if you're religious or not, it's that we want to maintain the roots to our moral ancestry to maintain a cohesive and functioning system.
00:56:15.000And like Dennis Prager points out, if you cut the flower from its roots, it'll look beautiful for a little while before it dies.
00:56:21.000So we want to maintain a basic moral standard and say, guys, let's not cross that line, lest the whole thing fall apart.
00:56:28.000It would be nice to see if you had, you know, I don't think firing some Home Depot cashier changes things much other than for them personally.
00:56:37.000But I do agree that also the media companies that have been using inflammatory rhetoric,
00:56:41.000you know, it's real a tight line for me because I feel extremely uncomfortable when we're talking about
00:56:48.000policing speech, especially in America.
00:56:51.000But when you look at the... you can only turn up the temperature in the pot for so long before it boils.
00:56:58.000And I think the media does probably bear some level.
00:57:01.000I mean, if Alex Jones can lose everything he has for asking, you know, for, for, you know, reporting whatever, what he thought was true.
00:57:09.000Certainly some of these media agencies that have spent years whipping people up into a fervor and living in fear and telling them that this will be the last time they ever vote.
00:57:17.000You know, I think there should be some responsibility, maybe from Donald Trump directly.
00:57:29.000That means people are allowed to express their ideas so long as they don't engage in violence.
00:57:32.000The problem is that can only go so far until your system collapses and then you are surrounded by psychopathic communists who want to throw you in a gulag and take your rights from you.
00:57:41.000The left made this argument with the Karl Popper meme that if you tolerate intolerance, eventually intolerance wins because you are letting them do it.
00:57:49.000If we sit back, and we did this ten years ago, and I reject this ideology that I held ten years ago, somebody on the left would advocate for all of us to be banned, some would say hashtag Learn to Code, people like Destiny for instance, and he'd say it's a private company, they can do what they want.
00:58:02.000And we'd say that's completely unreasonable because we're not acting outside of social contract, we're not calling for violence, breaking any laws, we're expressing an opinion which isn't even that bad.
00:58:10.000Then, when they would get censored, all of us would run full speed to say, we believe in free speech.
00:58:17.000And the first thing they do when they get unbanned is do everything in their power to get us banned.
00:58:21.000And I'm like, okay guys, at a certain point, stop handing rocks to people throwing rocks at you.
00:58:25.000So while I believe in free speech, I said this about a year ago, I am now of the mind that I will defend the rights of those who believe rights should be defended.
00:58:33.000I will not advocate for the taking of anyone's rights, but I will never defend someone who's on the side of the destruction of our system and our way of life They've reaped what they have sown.
00:58:43.000If an individual advocates for censorship, if they support the regime which has censored us and colluded with the central intelligence agencies, the national intelligence agencies, which we know Facebook and Twitter are doing, Then I will never come to the defense.
00:59:30.000Joking aside, everyone on the right, every disaffected liberal, middle-of-the-road whatever, said Joe Biden should retire and spend time with his family and relax.
00:59:40.000The left has said Trump must be stopped by any means necessary.
00:59:45.000I have said over and over again, Joe Biden should be sitting in his rocking chair in a sunroom with a blanket on his lap as he goes to sleep and his grandkids come and bring him ice cream cones.
00:59:54.000It's important to talk about Joe Biden's role in all of this.
00:59:56.000I think the media companies are culpable for some of the tension that's been growing in America.
01:00:01.000But Joe Biden and the campaign as an entity pushed a rhetoric that was that political violence was imminent in America because of this terrible person, and he was an existential threat, and you have to do whatever it takes.
01:00:14.000There's no way that Trump could be elected.
01:00:16.000And then afterwards, as soon as all of these terrible things happened to Trump, and especially to the firefighters and to the people who were injured in the crowd, They said, well, we should really turn down.
01:00:39.000Trying to quietly turn off ads is very different than saying, like, I had really strong language,
01:00:44.000I don't want anyone who supports me to take these kinds of actions.
01:00:47.000He could full out say, like, this is not the path forward, and he's not really doing that.
01:00:51.000He's just saying, sort of, let's stop talking about it.
01:00:53.000I mean, it's really Melania Trump who releases this statement saying, my husband is a human.
01:00:59.000And actually, every politician has family and children.
01:01:02.000They mean something to someone, and we have to treat them like they are real people as opposed to these made-up enemies that we have.
01:01:07.000I'm not quoting her directly here, but, you know, it was Melania Trump who I think was the first person to say, let us actually turn down the rhetoric here.
01:01:15.000It wasn't the Biden campaign, even though they said it.
01:02:05.000And we don't know what radicalized him.
01:02:06.000I think he just added to the tension that was already growing, especially among young, disaffected people who really believed that an election of Trump would be the end of their lives.
01:02:14.000But what actual evidence do we have for that?
01:02:24.000And they come up to a Starbucks, and then one guy jumps in front of the crowd and screams, all of our problems, this company will destroy our way of life.
01:02:33.000They have to be stopped now, by any means necessary.
01:02:36.000And then everyone screams at throwing rocks.
01:02:37.000That guy's not responsible in any way.
01:02:41.000I think that that person is responsible because it sounds like he's inciting a mob.
01:02:45.000He sounds like he's part of an armed mob outside of a place.
01:02:49.000So when someone tried to kill the Kavanaugh family, do you think at that point Joe Biden should have come out and said, I am not going to use this rhetoric.
01:02:54.000We got to chill because there is a violent faction that has taken dramatic action in this country?
01:02:59.000I think we need to look at it at a case-by-case basis, because I think, like, it's too broad to just say some person's rhetoric led to this attempt, unless we have, like, evidence directly showing it.
01:03:09.000So we don't have, like, any direct evidence showing that this guy was incited by—he could have been incited by a ton of different things.
01:03:16.000I think about that photo of the single man in Germany, where everyone's doing the Roman salute to Adolf Hitler, and he's got his arms crossed angrily, and we revere that, that he defied the crowd, because the snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche.
01:03:29.000The idea that we have had Aaron Danielson shot and killed by a far leftist, that there was in Provo, Utah, a far leftist ran up to a car for no reason and shot the driver, the idea that these people have gone out trying to murder people, That they've literally murdered people, and these tensions have escalated, should have been a signal to literally everyone, hey, I'll tell you what, we got the memo, because we've been saying for years, guys, we can't have this, we need rule of law, please, we have to, you know, we've had callers say, I can't, I can't, because the Democrats, they're arresting people, they're locking up Bannon, they're not playing by the rules, there's no rule of law, and we say, we must maintain that, because we are the good guys trying to maintain this system.
01:04:06.000You'd think after someone showed up to kill Brett Kavanaugh and kidnap and torture his family, Joe Biden would have come out and said, everyone, we got to tone this down.
01:04:13.000That was too close and it went too far.
01:04:24.000He said only a few days ago, he's got to be put in a bullseye, that he's an existential threat, and I'm like, my dude, a guy went to Kavanaugh's house to kill and murder him and his family, you'd think at that point you'd realize behind you is a violent mob of insane people with powerful weapons, and you can't scream, get him, he's an existential threat!
01:04:41.000That's, at a certain point, I agree that I don't think Joe Biden is directly responsible for instructing a guy to do anything.
01:04:48.000He is a snowflake in an avalanche of chaos that needs to recognize what he's doing and just chill out.
01:04:54.000But the snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche.
01:04:56.000And I would say there's been a political radicalization problem in this country ever since Barack Obama was president of the United States.
01:05:03.000Around Occupy Wall Street, you saw what I believe the establishment be afraid of people coming together.
01:05:09.000And ever since then, there was a deliberate effort to pin us against each other.
01:05:13.000And slowly and surely, the radicalization is increasing.
01:05:16.000And we've been seeing it for over 15 plus years.
01:05:20.000I've been saying, hey, we are on a trajectory.
01:05:22.000We are on a pathway of fighting and hating each other over petty differences.
01:05:26.000And I think this is deliberate, so we can never see the true cause of our problems.
01:05:30.000And if you look from a kind of strategic point of view, there's a famous meme of spoons and forks kind of fighting each other, and then there's a king looking up upon themselves, and they're like, you know what?
01:05:41.000It doesn't matter what these people want, or if they hate us or not.
01:05:44.000If they keep fighting and they look at each other differently, we will be able to do whatever we want.
01:05:48.000And that's exactly what they're doing.
01:05:49.000Shout out to DuckDog, super chat, reminding me of this story.
01:05:53.000CNN, Biden says he would beat the hell out of Trump if in high school.
01:06:00.000Joe Biden was basically saying he was going to punch him.
01:06:02.000These guys have directly gotten into the arena of violence in rhetoric.
01:06:08.000I don't think Joe Biden ever went and actually did these things, but they've basically come out and said that they would engage in this violence.
01:06:13.000Well, to be fair, he would be like a senior and Trump would be a sophomore, so in high school he could be.
01:06:21.000My point is, it's not like Joe Biden is just using turns of phrase and saying rhetoric.
01:06:27.000They've actually talked about the arena of violence and how he would win and he would actually attack Donald Trump.
01:06:34.000These signals to a guy who's 20 years old, for the past decade the media has been screaming, I'd say nine years, screaming Donald Trump is Hitler.
01:06:42.000I think it was 2015, correct me if I'm wrong, where a man at a rally tried grabbing the gun from a police officer's holster, and they stopped him.
01:06:49.000It was a few years ago where a man jumped the barricades and charged the stage.
01:06:53.000You'd think at any one of these points, each and every one of these politicians would be like, let's stop with the existential threat stuff, because we say this, and we know these guys are out there, they're hearing what we're saying.
01:07:06.000So, I mean, like, I think we need to make an important distinction here between, like, aggressive, usually wrong rhetoric.
01:07:14.000Rhetoric like this, like, beat the hell out of somebody or calling somebody Hitler or a tyrant or something like that.
01:07:20.000That increases the temperature and can lead to deranged people doing crazy things that are wrong and widely condemnable.
01:07:26.000But I think those people still have agency and shouldn't be blamed for those actions unless you are explicitly calling for the violence, saying that, you know, Being obvious and explicit.
01:08:28.000We're going to jump to this story here and talk about the political climate And how the assassination attempt has changed the narrative and where Donald Trump is at.
01:08:37.000Earlier in the show, Luke was saying, it's done, Trump is going to win.
01:08:40.000And that only matters if one concept holds true, and that is what Frank Lund said, the Trump supporter has become the Trump voter.
01:08:48.000That gives Trump a 1 to 2 point boost across the board.
01:09:55.000Even a day after, people were only just finding out.
01:09:58.000And so a lot of these polls, when they're dates and when they're being conducted, aren't getting to the bulk of the news cycle, which is going to be about Wednesday.
01:10:05.000Tuesday is when most companies like doing press conferences and product releases, because the news doesn't hit 100% on Tuesday.
01:11:19.000The problem is their narrative before the assassination attempt was that, and it was gaining traction, I think, definitely among independents, probably among likely Democrat voters, was that Biden was actually not capable.
01:11:29.000I mean, Democrats were losing confidence in their own candidate before anything happened to Trump to sort of surge this extra sort of patriotic support in his in his favor.
01:11:38.000The narrative that has dropped off, or at least we're not seeing a ton in the news right now, is are they going to pull Joe Biden?
01:11:46.000Yeah, Joe Biden is a big winner in all this.
01:11:49.000Nobody's talking about his cognitive decline.
01:11:51.000Nobody's talking about... But if the polls remain high for Trump as we get closer, I mean, we're, what, four or six weeks away from the DNC?
01:12:00.000There is a chance that that just resurges and it's even worse because they're like, look, Trump is way ahead now.
01:12:08.000And there's a debate in September that's ominous right now.
01:12:11.000If they have to do another debate, they're going to have to shift the time to 8 a.m.
01:12:15.000in the morning or something like that.
01:12:16.000I'm glad you brought up the debate because I was thinking about the fact that before the debate, and we all would have expected this, Trump and Biden didn't shake hands.
01:12:24.000There's no like sort of cordial moment that we've seen between presidential candidates.
01:12:29.000But now that we're supposed to be per Joe Biden's recommendation, turning down the political rhetoric, is he at that debate stage going to extend his hand to Trump?
01:12:37.000Because that's what he would need to do if he was really a man of trying to de-escalate any sort of tension in the country.
01:12:59.000I think down the pipeline, there's going to be bigger, crazier things ahead of us in this election cycle that will totally change the trajectory of what we're expecting to happen.
01:13:12.000So there's going to be a lot of craziness that people should strap in for, because this is only the beginning of an extremely wild, wild ride.
01:13:21.000And there's forces out there, forces of evil, that will try to do everything in their power to try to prevent Donald Trump, especially now, especially with the vengeance aspect, especially with him almost losing his life right now, especially with him having five-hour-long conversations with RFK Jr.
01:13:36.000right now, talking about the larger conspiracies of everything.
01:13:54.000And again, he does symbolize that, and a lot of very powerful people understand that there's going to be a larger reckoning.
01:14:02.000If you look at JFK when he threatened to, of course, end the war in Vietnam, what kind of happened to him?
01:14:09.000Donald Trump is threatening to end the wars.
01:14:12.000This is a major affront to the military-industrial complex, to a lot of organizations, to a lot of groups that don't only care about the money here.
01:14:23.000This is It's far more deeper and spiritual than a lot of people even understand it to be because this is essentially a death cult.
01:14:30.000These are people that do blood sacrifices.
01:14:33.000These are people that ritualistically start wars on specific dates for specific reasons and continue them even though they know that they're not going to win them in order to continue the larger pain and suffering of humanity.
01:14:47.000What we're dealing here with is not a usual political cycle.
01:14:50.000This is not going to go down like you guys think it's going to go down.
01:14:53.000It's going to be way more chaotic, way more crazy, and that's why I'm telling everyone you've got to become the best, strongest version of yourself.
01:15:00.000You've got to call out the insane people in our society.
01:15:03.000You've got to be paying attention to every little detail and aspect of what's going on around you, because what's going to happen is going to be vast.
01:15:10.000It's going to be huge, and it's going to happen, and it's going to shock people.
01:15:16.000We had Eric Prince on the Culture War podcast, and I asked him... Subscribe to Tendant Media, by the way, because we're doing that show Friday morning.
01:15:23.000But I asked him if, in all of experience with these countries that are destabilizing and the people he's worked with, are they seeing similarities here and what could we expect?
01:15:32.000He said the one thing that they all agree on is that it happens overnight.
01:15:37.000Everything seems normal, and then you go to bed and you wake up, there's no electricity, water doesn't turn on, there's no internet, garbage stops getting picked up and you have no idea what's happening, communications are gone, TV doesn't turn on.
01:15:47.000And that's the scary reality that it's gradually then suddenly, everybody just thinks every day they're going to wake up and things are going to be normal.
01:15:55.000It's fascinating to me because you hear that meme where it's like, touch grass, touch grass.
01:15:59.000The fascinating thing is, this world nearly collapsed into abject chaos and destruction on Saturday, July 13th, 2024.
01:16:09.000And there's this really funny post from this dude, Jules, and he said he was at a local community garden when this happened, so he had no idea, and that just goes to show you, don't go touch grass, never log off, ever, not even for a second!
01:16:24.000But the truth is, imagine if you were out gardening, doing normal things, not paying attention, and this tragedy actually turned for the worst in the ways we most fear.
01:16:51.000Investors, foreign investors especially, would panic and sell everything they could to exit the market due to fear of uncertainty.
01:16:59.000With no clear frontrunner, with Joe Biden's brain being fried, and no Donald Trump, there is no one to accept the reins of this country, and we are lucky that it didn't happen.
01:17:09.000If that economic hit happened, people's banks may suspend withdrawals, there could be runs on banks, you would see international conflict immediately due to the economic instability of the global markets caused by the United States, and you would be in your garden You would be tending to your tomato plants, and then when it all came down, you'd go, how come all this food's gone from the store?
01:17:31.000Well, you were late to the party, man.
01:17:32.000Now you get to go fight in the Walmart parking lot for the last can of beans with Agnes, because y'all weren't paying attention.
01:17:38.000But you got tomatoes, but don't worry, they'll come and take them from you.
01:17:41.000So I'm not saying, plug in, never leave, never leave, that's the joke.
01:17:44.000I'm just saying, to all the people who are acting like you shouldn't pay attention to what's going on in the world, you should be politically active or be involved.
01:17:52.000And you can go live that normal life and forget all about it.
01:17:55.000And then one day when you can't buy gas, there's no more food at the store, and you're shrugging your shoulders, you will be the last one to eat.
01:18:02.000And you will wonder how it could have happened.
01:18:08.000Live and bask in the fruits of the labors of men and women in uniform, our law enforcement, our first responders.
01:18:14.000But one day, don't expect it to be permanent, because that's a luxury.
01:18:18.000Yeah, there's no going back from this.
01:18:20.000People need to understand this is not going to be a normal political cycle.
01:18:23.000They're talking about swing states, and none of that matters to me.
01:18:28.000This has really been a major Pearl Harbor-like event that is truly going to be playing out for the next, not few days, not few months, for the next few years.
01:18:41.000Donald Trump, who again is seen as a very big anti-establishment figure, now from the people who tried to kill him, see him as even a larger threat.
01:18:51.000And they would be silly not to consider him a larger threat.
01:18:55.000Because of the larger consequences, because when someone tries to take your life and is a centimeter away from doing so, and you understand the message that they're sending to you, you understand how serious this is all is right now, and truly, the next few months are going to be insane.
01:19:11.000We do have this pre-recorded segment we did with Representative Lauren Bober, but I do think we'd probably be better off releasing that independently.
01:19:18.000It's about 20 minutes, it's 15 minutes long, and she's discussing her legislative action for the Secret Service.
01:19:24.000I think we probably touched a bit too much, and it might be a little bit redundant, so I think we'll put that up tomorrow for you guys to watch.
01:19:30.000It's a pre-recorded interview, and we'll stick to the news and keep the show rolling live.
01:19:34.000And with that, we'll jump to the story from SCNR.
01:20:08.000Many of these young people were inspired by the likes of Ron Paul and this real America First message about sound currency, no foreign wars, and our own individual autonomy.
01:20:18.000And the machine wants to cut backroom deals, treat you like a sheep, and operate in darkness.
01:20:24.000And Matt Gaetz standing up It's not about one guy and two guys.
01:20:27.000It's not about whether you like Matt Gaetz or don't like Kevin McCarthy or vice versa.
01:20:30.000It's about the contention at the convention from the new guard and the old guard because we are taking over.
01:20:36.000I mean, in some ways, I actually do wish Kevin McCarthy was speaking on stage.
01:20:39.000And I'll tell you, it's largely because do you remember the iconic Ted Cruz vote your conscience moment?
01:20:45.000I mean, that happened at a Republican National Convention in 2016.
01:20:49.000And I think there is this level of people want to hear How the old guard is reacting right now.
01:20:55.000They want to know in the wake of everything that's happened with Trump, not just, you know, of course, his assassination attempt, but also the way he's been treated by the judicial system and the dropping of his cases and, you know, just everything that is going into the campaign right now.
01:21:13.000I think there is a sense of tension among voters and it's interesting to see it play out on the floor between two people who Very obviously had tension.
01:21:21.000I mean, it's almost less believable when politicians all line up and say, like, we were screaming at each other a couple months ago, but let's just shake hands, we're all on the same side now.
01:22:20.000So I'm conflicted because obviously this is really funny to see and you always love seeing
01:22:25.000politicians go at each other's throats and obviously these two have a lot of history.
01:22:29.000Matt Gaetz was part of the few congressmen that helped oust McCarthy as Speaker, that led it, and now McCarthy was going on his tour, his funding opponents to all the congresspeople who followed suit, as well as Matt Gaetz.
01:22:41.000He's also running ads in Matt Gaetz's district about his alleged affair with the 17-year-old.
01:22:48.000When you really think about it, though, it saddens me because at the end of the day, how substantially different are these two politicians' policies, in reality, compared to the Democrats?
01:22:59.000You know, we could have that larger conversation with their attempts to oust McCarthy to begin with.
01:23:03.000How different is he than Johnson is now?
01:23:07.000And, you know, it's clear that this is more petty beef than substantial political debate.
01:23:13.000Petty Beef does seem like it follows Kevin McCarthy a little bit, though.
01:23:17.000We had Representative Tim Burchette on the show the other night, and he got, like, elbow-checked by, or, like, shoulder-checked by Kevin McCarthy in the halls, and Kevin McCarthy was like, ooh, we may be bumped into each other.
01:23:27.000Like, it is weird to see these things, again, because so often you get politicians who are polished, and they're saying, oh, we shake hands, we make deals, and the reality is, like, a lot of them don't like each other.
01:23:37.000I think there is the reality TV show aspect that American voters do want to see.
01:23:42.000We know sometimes you're faking it, and maybe you should just be honest.
01:23:45.000There is honesty in this moment that Kevin McCarthy is saying something kind of brutal about Matt Gaetz, and because we're at convention, Matt Gaetz is right there to be like, you can't talk that way about me on live TV.
01:24:17.000I mean, this is the most contentious relationship you can have, possibly, if you're being accused of pedophilia.
01:24:23.000Well, I'm sorry, I think McCarthy is full of it, because Matt Gaetz says, Kevin McCarthy was cutting backroom deals and getting IOUs, and this is the corrupt machine of the Speaker of the House.
01:24:34.000And then Kevin McCarthy goes, oh yeah, well, use up the 17-year-old.
01:24:39.000That's salacious gossip garbage meant to destroy someone's credibility.
01:24:43.000Matt Gaetz has made a political argument against you and the system you represent, and you responded with garbage.
01:24:47.000It reminds me of, I think, Mitt Romney pretty recently was like, well, I would never vote for Trump because, you know, he has been convicted of a sexual crime or something like that, when he's referring to the Steege and Carroll case, which we know was so ridiculous on its front.
01:24:59.000I mean, there is this weird, like, mudslinging, I'm holier-than-thou moment among all of these people.
01:25:04.000Sometimes we have to see the conflict.
01:25:06.000No, I mean, I think the issue here is how substantially different is McCarthy than Johnson anyway, and, you know, all the pain and time wasted by a House that was a majority Republican because of the petty beef between these two guys.
01:25:19.000McCarthy and Johnson are one and the same as far as House Speakers go.
01:26:51.000We wished for a Jim Jordan or someone better.
01:26:53.000We didn't get it, but we accept that we just We just took action against this corrupt political machine and they felt the pain of the deals they were brokering.
01:27:06.000I get what you're saying that a lot of the it seemed like this was a fight and how different are these two people in terms of the way they vote?
01:27:14.000I wonder too, to what Tim was saying before, if we're having a changing of the guards, if we're having some sort of change within the Republican identity of the party, if these battles are sort of necessary, it's not going to be like one day everyone is replaced all at once.
01:27:27.000It's sort of a back and forth push until ultimately The party is like a darker red, let's say, or more to whatever they're they're sort of circling around becoming.
01:27:38.000Yeah, but don't we know it's a unit party?
01:27:43.000Like if it is a unit party, then wouldn't you want to see people like pushing farther apart as opposed to coming closer together in terms of policy and ideals?
01:27:49.000Well, I just want to see the next generation take the reins and push against the corruption.
01:27:55.000McCarthy represents all of these problems.
01:27:58.000He's not as bad as Nancy Pelosi, but he's part of the same club.
01:28:01.000And Matt Gaetz putting pressure on him and leading the charge to get him removed as Speaker was glorious to watch.
01:28:07.000It doesn't mean we get a good Speaker.
01:28:09.000It means that this disgusting lobby machine of DC, which has plagued our politics for so long, got a whip crack and a billion in IOUs just went up in flames.
01:28:19.000I wonder what that repercussions of that are, you know?
01:28:24.000Yeah, I mean, there were promises made, clearly, allegedly, and now he will not be able to fulfill on them.
01:28:30.000And we got that with Hillary Clinton losing, too.
01:28:32.000Because, you know, in 2016, she's cutting these deals, like, you done it to my PACs, to my campaign, you hired me for these speaking deals.
01:28:38.000Before she ran, she was, like, speaking for Goldman Sachs or something, and then she loses, and then what do we see?
01:28:43.000The Clinton Global Initiative or the Clinton Foundation, like, starts slowing down and drying They had to shut it down, but they had record donations when she was running for the presidency of the United States, just showing you just how absolutely corrupt our entire political system is, and there's few brave people like Matt Gaetz that are willing to call it out in real time.
01:28:59.000There was so much money, there was so much slobbyists, there were so many special interest groups that were just screwed over, and it's beautiful to see, and I love it.
01:29:07.000Didn't the Clinton Foundation get 400 million in Haiti relief?
01:29:12.000I interviewed local Haitians and they described in great detail how they were just robbed by the Clintons and they were just screwed over during one of the most difficult times that they had to go through after going through a major hurricane.
01:29:25.000That leveled and destroyed all of Haiti, which added to the destruction, as of course Hillary Clinton was actually giving her brother contract deals to the natural resources and minerals of Haiti, as of course they were literally looting that country for their own personal benefit.
01:29:38.000And there are plutocrats that are looting the American country for their own benefit, and at least them just being paused for a little bit, Matt Gaetz standing and saying, this system is corrupt, that right there was poetic.
01:29:52.000And even though it was temporary, it was still beautiful to see.
01:30:28.000I knew he was on the air during George Bergen, yeah.
01:30:30.000I think it's also reasonable, when you watch this, There's actually, it's not actually that easy to know what he's doing.
01:30:37.000You've got, and it's a problem with a lot of these conventions, where there's booths, and you're just like, I don't know if they're live or not live, or sitting there, or what the... Well, I did know, but... I know, I know you knew.
01:30:49.000The way it looks, he could have been doing a sound check or a sound test, and you were just trying to goof off and be nice to a guy or something, like, just be silly, and you didn't realize.
01:30:56.000My point is, the way they do these events, they're not structured very well for... Well, I'll put it this way.
01:31:03.000The reason why we ended up doing the pre-record with Rep Boebert, Is because we're outside of the perimeter in a separate location.
01:31:11.000The RNC is happening in literally every corner of the RNC.
01:31:14.000But there's no way we could do a two-hour long... No, without getting interrupted, no way.
01:31:19.000And it's not even by people like you who are trying to be goofballs.
01:33:05.000When you're driving into the secure zone, they stop you, they search under your car, they do all those things, and I'm like, hey, this is a good thing, right?
01:33:11.000Then you walk up to the building, doors are unsecure, badges don't make sense.
01:33:15.000One security guard is saying, I don't know what that badge is.
01:33:17.000The other security guard's saying, I think it's fine, let them in anyway.
01:33:20.000And I'm just like, we were leaving the building, and we're like, how do we get out of here?
01:33:24.000And we see a sign that says exit, we walked down the stairs, and there's no security anywhere, and I open the door, and I'm just literally outside the main RNC building, and there's no security, and just people walking by, and I'm like, is this a joke?
01:34:20.000This whole security issue that we're seeing with the RNC makes me really think about Saturday, and the security of the Secret Service, and how they handle things.
01:34:28.000No, I do think it's massively overly secure in the wrong ways.
01:36:11.000So I had to like commando, like do some sweet maneuvers and jump over concrete barriers and get in the car in the middle of the intersection.
01:36:19.000Like, he just pulled over in the intersection, put his hazards on, and he's like, I'll wait for you, buddy.
01:36:48.000Yeah, we want to be better, and they need to address this, and people need to know, because we've talked to people already about it, and they're just like, we can't help you.
01:36:55.000We're going into day three, and they're like, well, maybe your badges will get printed, but I guess because they didn't, we're not going to require them anymore.
01:37:02.000And I'm like, that's a bad thing and a problem that you can't just do.
01:37:05.000And people are saying, why are you, don't say this on air.
01:37:08.000Literally the million, like however many were the 50,000 people have experienced this already.
01:38:13.000Secret Service doesn't know what other Secret Service is permitting.
01:38:16.000Local police don't know what local police are permitting.
01:38:19.000It's crazy because I worked security at a venue, and they would give a piece of paper to every security guard, and it would show you badges, levels, and what rooms they can go in, so you knew if you saw it, what it meant.
01:38:30.000They have boots on the ground though, I will tell you that.
01:38:32.000that means this is what this means here one cop is like are you can come in your own parking lot
01:38:37.000and what we just did it's like i don't know i don't tell you because we don't
01:38:40.000have any unified communications right now
01:38:42.000their boots on the ground though i will tell you that it is the is a lot of people down there and i want to say
01:38:47.000this if you're lactose intolerant do not come to wisconsin because i'm eating

01:39:05.000The Uncensored Colin Show is going to be a blast, where you as members call in, talk to us and our guests, become a part of the show, and it's how we run everything.
01:39:12.000How we're here on the ground is because we do have a couple sponsors that we're really excited for, but also because you guys help us pick up the slack and make this opportunity available for us.
01:39:30.000Yes, I have been tweeting with the great Jess Margera, the drummer for the band CKY, and he's very anti-Trump.
01:39:45.000He had been posting things about how it's suspicious and essentially alluding to the fact that Trump staged this, and he had a comment where someone responded to him That, you know, I don't know, he's got Trump's arrangements or something, what makes him think he's so smart?
01:40:00.000He said, because I've toured the world and got an international education, learning from many other people, and you haven't left the backwoods sticks, blah blah blah, of your Alabama hometown.
01:40:09.000To which I responded, well in that case, you're just a drummer, and I've actually covered conflict, crisis, and revolution in numerous countries around the world, so I can tell you that you are the cult supporting the machine, you are a zealot.
01:40:22.000And he actually, for those that are wondering, he responded positively.
01:40:24.000He said, in that case, I'd love to hear what you have to say so I can better understand what it is you mean.
01:41:04.000Look, there is a viral post that I mentioned the other day, and Wokenist posted, it's a young woman who said she was a far leftist, anti-Trumper, screaming at these rallies.
01:41:13.000And then she watched the interview I did with Trump, and she realized she was being lied to.
01:41:17.000There are a lot of people that just need someone to be like, if they give you the opportunity to explain yourself, take it.
01:41:24.000Not everybody's good, not everybody's gonna be righteous and in good faith, but like for Jess Margera to say, I wanna hear what you have to say, I say, thank you sir, by all means, let's crack open a nice cold glass of, I said crack open, I was gonna say beer, but no, no, no, Casper coffee.
01:41:39.000We will sip some delicious Casper coffee and we'll discuss these issues.
01:42:15.000He should be annoyed, but kind of happy, because it's silly PR that benefits him in the long run, with minimal harm to his show.
01:42:25.000But the thing about Cenk is that he's very, very passionate, and can be easily... What's the right word?
01:42:31.000Like, his emotions can crank it up to 11 very quickly.
01:42:34.000So Piers was saying that, you know, I have questions about how this went down, and immediately Cenk is like, Oh, you're saying... Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down, calm down.
01:42:42.000Yeah, he really is either a zero or ten.
01:43:30.000If Destiny wanted to apologize for the horrible things he's said and done, I'd be willing to listen.
01:43:35.000If I felt that he was sincere, I would accept it.
01:43:38.000There are certain acts of evil that I don't think can be redeemed in a normal fashion.
01:43:43.000That is, if someone were to harm a child in an extreme way, The forgiveness they would receive is the, we lock you in a box forever, you forfeited your rights, and that is our grace.
01:43:53.000And then you can ask God for whatever else you might need.
01:43:56.000For someone like Destiny who said very naughty things, shockingly offensive, disruptive, and amoral things, A true repentance, I believe, is certainly worthy of forgiveness.
01:44:06.000He's just an a-hole, and like, the worst kind.
01:44:08.000But, to say he's beyond redemption, I think that's what you meant?
01:44:11.000I certainly think most, uh, like, it's within Christianity to offer true redemption, is it not?
01:44:34.000Didn't Anna Kasparian say- Anna Kasparian, they had some exchange, I just saw it, and she was like, I seriously say this, you should log off, you're being manic.
01:44:44.000I have heard the argument that he's just trying to generate press and get attention.
01:44:49.000No, because the stuff I'm hearing now from producers and podcasts is they regret having him on their shows and they will not host him ever again.
01:44:57.000There is a long tail to this short-term You know, hey, I'm trending thing the long tail of it is that he's gonna lose out on a lot of opportunities Whether or not you think that's true That's fine.
01:45:09.000But like I don't think making fun of a heroic firefighter who lost his life shielding his wife and daughter I feel like you can I mean like there's some freaking lines dude.
01:45:19.000He's also saying other people should suffer the same fate.
01:46:29.000I had someone ask me, Tim, would you host him again?
01:46:30.000I said, no, he's never allowed on my show.
01:46:33.000And it's not because I have a personal beef with him, it's because if you were to come on my show and advocate for the things he's advocating for, we'd get instabanned.
01:46:39.000And I think a lot of other streamers, and the reason why a lot of people are saying he's persona non grata, is because if you invite him on your show and he decides to say the things he posted, your show will get taken down and you will get a strike, and nobody wants that.
01:46:52.000Nobody wants a guy on their show who's publicly calling for the death of other people and gloating about it.
01:46:57.000Saying they deserve it and things like that.
01:46:58.000Because they're like, dude, I don't want to take that heat.
01:48:01.000On the Culture War, Jeremy and I, as well as we're opening some other guests, are going to talk about culture.
01:48:06.000I'm really excited to talk about Star Wars, the boys, Magic the Gathering, the importance of winning the Culture War, taking back these cultural spaces, and really pushing back on a lot of these conservative dad bros who are like, grow up and stop playing games!
01:48:21.000And it's like, dude, it was middle-aged men who created comic books which inspired a generation of kids to want to be heroes and uphold the values of this country, truth, justice, and the American way.
01:48:30.000If we don't have good stories and adventures for children, little boys want adventure.
01:48:34.000They want to grow up, they want to be Alexander the Great, they want to conquest, and then you're asking us to put on a suit and say, no, stop, life is boring and you should be boring.
01:48:41.000And they're going to say, okay, well, and then there's going to be some crackpot with some candy being like, you want to go on an adventure, little boy?
01:48:55.000And you watch that channel, and yeah, you might not even be that into the video games, but it's nostalgic.
01:48:59.000Like, there's something about our childhood that we should appreciate, and I hate that when people try to stop us from, you know, enjoying something that brought us joy when we were younger.
01:49:25.000Special Mike, one of our, one of our team riders, said he wanted to make a segment where he puts a bunch of whoopee cushions on the spine ramp, so it's this narrow rail, four feet off the ground, and he's like, I'm gonna run across the whoopee cushions, making fart noises, and then finger flip, I mean, flip the board and then land on it, jumping to the ground, and then Kara would, would jump out of a box and yell, doorknob, and then hit him.
01:49:48.000And this is a 30-year-old guy, you know, an adult man, engaging in silly shenanigans, and older skaters are like, oh, it's so cringe, why are you doing this?
01:50:10.000These older guys that want to gatekeep in the skate industry, I'm like, dude, if you tell kids that like fart jokes and silly humor that they're stupid and wrong and not allowed, they will not buy your skateboards.
01:50:22.000They will not join your culture and your culture will die.
01:50:25.000So we want to be inspirational and family-friendly and silly.
01:50:29.000We don't want to be stupid kids shows like Blue's Clues.
01:50:31.000We want to be funny enough for teenagers so they tell their parents they want to skate.
01:50:36.000So their kids get more kids, their parents get more kids into skateboarding, the industry grows, and then our sport thrives, and we share something we're passionate about with the next generation.
01:50:46.000But these guys who are like, don't engage in sports and games, you're gonna grow up?
01:50:51.000The reality is that cultures have always had some kind of entertainment, some kind of toy, some kind of side interest.
01:50:57.000Like, people don't just like work and go to church and that's it.
01:51:00.000I mean, those things are a big part of your daily activity, but People need things other than that.
01:51:05.000So if you say, like, it's not worth it, I'm going to leave this space, then you are just leaving a vacuum.
01:51:09.000It doesn't go away because you've decided it's not worth pursuing.
01:51:12.000That's what I love about what Tim's doing with the boonies.
01:51:15.000I think it's... I wouldn't even say the right.
01:51:42.000I'm really excited to talk with you on Friday morning about this.
01:51:45.000With the Universes Beyond expansions they're doing, one of the big concerns about Magic the Gathering with Hasbro and all that is they've started making weird woke characters.
01:52:09.000I don't like the hand-me-down idea of making IP, like taking a character that's clearly, like, a white medieval character and then just deciding he's black.
01:52:16.000But with Universes Beyond, they're doing things like Assassin's Creed, Fallout, They're not going to be able to control that IP in the same way, which means the wokification is halted in the external IPs they don't own.
01:52:48.000Okay, well, you know, they made a video game that takes place in, was it like, feudal Japan?
01:52:52.000And one of the main characters is a black samurai.
01:52:56.000And I'm just like, dude, I don't care if you want to make a black samurai fighting game, but the franchise has historically been period pieces with characters who represent that period.
01:53:04.000So if you want to do Japan and represent the minority Japanese, give us a Japanese character.
01:54:03.000There's microplastics in there that go to your mouth.
01:54:06.000Single-issue voter against paper straws.
01:54:09.000That's got to be a sizable portion of the populace.
01:54:13.000TyrantGod says, seeing Jeremy on TimCast again brings me back to the first episode I watched when you guys were talking about Biden being bit by a vampire in his 70s.
01:54:24.000Is that why he's still alive, I guess?
01:54:43.000WG101 says, hey Jeremy, I know you're banned from Magic, but if you're still keeping up with it, what do you think of wizards making Tarmagoyf into a token?
01:55:22.000It's not just that, it's the hyper-expansions.
01:55:25.000They're just printing so many expansions so rapidly that There's a benefit to it in terms of play in that you will never know what card someone has and you'll have massive opportunity for making really crazy decks and that's fun.
01:55:37.000But it's also kind of like magic as it was is ceasing to exist and what they're basically doing is white labeling out their format.
01:55:45.000So the idea, Magic the Gathering is the first trading card game ever made, and the idea is, like, you have resource cards that you tap, you turn to the side, which symbolizes activation, which allow you to, with a certain number, take a card from your hand and play it on the field and have its effects take, you know, enter the battlefield, take effect in the game.
01:56:02.000They're basically saying, Our intellectual property and storytelling around our idea that we created is pointless and nobody likes it.
01:56:08.000So let's just take the format, the framework of the game, and apply it to everything else.
01:56:12.000Now there's Fallout, Assassin's Creed, Warhammer, Lord of the Rings.
01:56:39.000Fun fact, the first internet video I was ever on was on this old show, Shout Out Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, and they brought me on to talk about the Illuminati card game.
01:56:49.000They're like, oh, you play Magic the Gathering.
01:56:51.000Do you know anything about Illuminati?
01:57:22.000And so the idea is like there's four factions, like there's four suits, and then there's like, you know, Trump is the ace of the right or whatever.
01:57:30.000And the idea is you invite your followers to the debate and whoever makes the best debate team wins.
01:58:50.000Let's grab a couple more Super Chats before we run out of time.
01:58:52.000Matthew Schneider says, Tim, live by the sword, die by the sword, was from the book of Matthew.
01:58:57.000Jesus told Peter that when the soldiers arrested Jesus because he drew his sword to all my, drew his sword, to all my Trump supporting brothers and sisters, remember that verse, it is for you, God is in control.
01:59:09.000Yeah, he said, um, what do you say, don't draw the sword for those that live by the sword will die by it or something like that?
01:59:16.000I read the verse earlier and I forget it.
01:59:19.000I know, what does Tupac say, live by the gun, die by the gun?
02:00:08.000How could it not be when you have this this reminder that like every day that you get on earth is a miracle and you're President Donald Trump?
02:00:14.000I mean, like this moment could be, you know, I'm sure he will address what happened.
02:00:19.000But really, I think what he's going to say to his supporters is like, We need to we need to see ourselves to the ballot box in November, and then we need to push forward and really paint this picture of of what America can be as we move away from such a tragic thing.
02:00:34.000Yeah, I think he'll only briefly mention it.
02:00:36.000If I had to bet, it would be like, I'm lucky to be here, I should be here.
02:00:41.000And I think he'll thank a lot of people.
02:00:42.000I mean, I think there will be an expression of gratitude.
02:00:45.000And I think it will be difficult to talk about the shooter, his family, anything like that, because we really just don't know enough right now.
02:00:52.000Yeah, the only 20-year-old ever to not use their cell phone for anything or their laptop for anything.
