00:02:08.000Want to say, by the way, a special thank you to Tim Poole for coming down and covering all of last week at the turning point headquarters.
00:02:17.000Obviously, everyone there, we're still dealing with the loss of our friend, the loss of our leader, Charlie Kirk, his horrific murder, and all that uh all that comes along with it, and trying to figure out what the new normal is there.
00:02:32.000But um, you know, Tim was the spent the entire week at the headquarters, brought his entire team, everybody out.
00:03:06.000I'm excited to be able to fill in for Tim in this capacity because hey, he was there for us when we needed it as well.
00:03:17.000And and by the way, we've got so much stuff to talk about.
00:03:20.000President Trump talking about the insurrection act.
00:03:25.000We saw a ton of violence all over the country this weekend, particularly in Chicago and Portland.
00:03:33.000We're gonna get into all of that, as well as the fact that the local officials there are outright saying that they will not comply with the federal government.
00:03:43.000And one of which even invoked the words civil war.
00:03:48.000Also, new text messages out in the Jay Jones scandal, which continues to spiral out of control in the attorney general's race in Virginia, as well as affecting the governor's race, Lieutenant Governor's race.
00:04:01.000We also have huge news about the FBI and Jack Smith conducting secret surveillance of GOP senators and potentially even congressmen as well.
00:09:26.000Uh no, I started in uh Vanity Fair and Forbes back in the in the 90s when magazines we spent more on champagne at Vanity Fair, I think, than they spent on a whole, you know, magazine today.
00:09:36.000But uh is that when Chris Hitchens was there?
00:09:40.000I was an intern, so I got a lot of coffee and dry cleaning for Graydon Carter and Christopher Hitchens.
00:09:45.000But that was the first time I interviewed uh actually the president.
00:09:47.000So I've interviewed Trump back in the day.
00:09:49.000We we'd call him if if the stories were slow.
00:09:52.000But I joined the Navy Reserve in 1999, went on to become the executive editor of Southern Living, where I covered food and travel, which was like a gravy train with biscuit wheels, and uh eventually got deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011, which uh killed my neocon beliefs uh when I was there.
00:10:13.000But got into politics after I felt like our culture was collapsing, and if normal people didn't go to Washington and help out, uh we'd lose the country.
00:10:22.000So I went up in 2020 in the last term, uh last year of Trump's first term, and was the press secretary to the Secretary of Defense.
00:10:31.000And then um after the election was stolen, I went to work for Tommy Tubberville, the great uh senator from the state of Alabama.
00:10:41.000Uh Coach Tubell and I fought the Biden administration.
00:10:45.000I was proud to stand with him as we fought at tooth and nail over things like the Afghanistan withdrawal, Ukraine funding, unlimited abortion on demand, etc.
00:10:55.000Uh and then uh just wrapped up another tour with the second Trump administration working for General Keith Kellogg.
00:11:07.000All right, we'll put you to the test as we go through as as uh maybe not as as uh as uh directly as Tim would, but but we I I I think we can get there.
00:11:16.000Let's go around the room a little bit.
00:11:48.000So it's smoother and better and funnier.
00:11:49.000A million times better, and it's horrible when I'm here, but there's a reason I have The reason I have to come back is related to the reason why I was gone.
00:11:57.000I am working on something very special.
00:12:00.000I've spent the past eight or nine months putting together a show.
00:12:05.000I'm making an animated show full length.
00:12:07.000The plan is to release it for free on YouTube.
00:12:11.000And we just released our crowdfunding video for it today.
00:12:18.000I think you guys are really gonna like it.
00:12:19.000Think kind of like Twilight Zones Black Mirror, but instead of what you get with a lot of modern shows where they try to do this over the top uh pseudo-intellectual nihilism.
00:12:28.000We're trying to spread a productive message, but most importantly, we're trying to do it through humor and through story, which I think 99% of conservative humor and content has failed to do.
00:12:40.000But I'm not gonna ask you to take my word for it and my word for the fact that this show is good because we've already made the pilot.
00:12:49.000If you go over to Twisted Plots.com, that's the name of the show, Twisted Plots, and you donate to our crowdfunding campaign to fund our first season.
00:12:59.000You will be able to watch the entire first episode of our show that's that's available for the first 24 hours of the campaign.
00:13:07.000So after the first 24 hours are up, you're gonna have to donate at a certain tier to be able to watch the entire pilot.
00:13:13.000But right now, if you go over there, twisted plots.com, you donate, you support the show, you will be able to see the entire pilot.
00:13:34.000And like ever everybody knows, of course, James from Freedom Tunes and the work that you've done to push the cultural space.
00:13:41.000What um what uh what platform are you using for crowdfund?
00:13:44.000So right now we're using GivSend Go, but we actually have our own infrastructure set up on a landing page that we built to give people an idea of what tiers they'll get and what they'll have access to.
00:13:53.000So as soon as you donate, again, because it's within the first 24 hours of our launch, you'll get an email.
00:13:58.000It'll have a link to the the um the pilot behind the paywall.
00:14:15.000The reason for that is in order to make an animated show, you we basically need a staff of eight to ten people working for an entire year to make this all happen.
00:14:25.000So we're gonna need to get this all funded in order to continue to produce it.
00:14:32.000Um, I think you guys are gonna enjoy it.
00:14:34.000Our full cost for our entire season is actually less than the inflation adjusted cost for what it took to make one episode of South Park in 1997.
00:14:42.000That's how efficient we are with our budget.
00:14:44.000So I promise we're gonna stretch your dollar.
00:14:45.000I promise we're gonna get you good content.
00:14:47.000And I promise you, it is not gonna be the the boring conservative drek you get where it's a guy ranting instead of stories being told and jokes being made.
00:16:38.000All right, guys, we got to get into this because uh I know if Tim were here, there goes without question, this would be the very first story.
00:16:51.000President Trump, he said this publicly that he's open to invoking the insurrection act itself.
00:16:58.000And we know that he's you know been been getting close to it.
00:17:01.000We know that he's been uh kind of toying around with the idea.
00:17:05.000Uh no, I got to spend pretty much the entire day with President Trump yesterday.
00:17:10.000I had the honor of accompanying him on Air Force One.
00:17:13.000Uh, we had the Navy did it's the celebration of the Navy's 250th birthday, which actually comes next week, but we celebrated it this week because it's uh uh yeah, who yeah that.
00:17:22.000And and it just you know, it just worked out for um for scheduling purposes.
00:17:25.000So, you know, shout out to the White House, very excited and very honored to have been able to accompany to ride uh greatest plane in the United States in the United States, the greatest plane in the entire world to celebrate the world's finest Navy there yesterday.
00:17:40.000But this was not a topic that came up, but while we were on Air Force One, so he's got he's got the news on, it's always Fox News, of course.
00:17:47.000And and you're seeing that yes, they were showing um the the naval exercises and the sea power demonstrations, but it was video after video of the violence that's gone on in Portland and Chicago, just over and over and over.
00:18:01.000And And so you you have to imagine that he's sitting there and he's he's watching this as well, and he's realizing that he has the power to change it.
00:18:08.000And here's what he came out today saying in response to this.
00:18:11.000So a federal judge just blocked the president from sending National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, which President Trump has said has been taken over by left-wing domestic terrorists.
00:18:21.000And I think, by the way, um, speaking of which, I believe Nick Sortor also just had his charges dropped, uh, which is huge.
00:18:28.000So the Multnomah County DA, that's where Portland is, has declined to continue up these charges.
00:18:33.000He was arrested as a working journalist on the ground targeting all of these things that are going on, just showing us, showing us the truth of what's happening.
00:18:41.000He gets arrested, even though you can see all the videos, he's the one who's being attacked.
00:18:46.000So God bless Nick Sorator for being out there and doing that.
00:19:28.000Yep got out in front of the president and said, I don't think there's any need to invoke the insurrection act.
00:19:34.000And that's the biggest difference between Trump won and Trump too, in my mind, is that there aren't people backbiting him in his own administration and Trump too.
00:19:43.000You're not going to hear Pete Heggsith get out and start making a policy call on whether the insurrection act needs to be invoked.
00:19:50.000And we all saw the mostly peaceful protests during BLM and 2020.
00:19:55.000And I think the president was absolutely right there to say we needed to put those down and save lives in federal buildings and property.
00:20:02.000Uh but Mark Milley apologized for, by the way.
00:20:05.000I'll never forget this, that Mark Milley, they they go and clear out Lafayette Square Park, which is just north of the White House, and Antifa's out there, they're setting fire to uh St. John's Church, which is just you know adjacent to that.
00:20:16.000It's all sort of in the same complex just beyond the White House, but it still has a lot of secret service and a lot of protection there.
00:21:41.000But yeah, he he walked across, he was embarrassed by it and apologized by it.
00:21:45.000That's what got uh Dr. Esper crossways with the president because the president makes the policy call, not the Secretary of Defense.
00:21:54.000Look, guys, and we should go around and show this, but I mean, the the violence that's gone on throughout uh Portland, throughout Chicago, and I believe we do we have that clip.
00:22:07.000Can we play this clip with the Chicago mayor?
00:22:09.000Because as as crazy at Portland gotten, I don't think that we've heard a higher level official from one of these areas say something as horrific as this.
00:22:19.000Let's at least play the first part of it.
00:22:23.000The right wing in this country wants a rematch of the civil war.
00:22:28.000I just I want that to Sit in right now because the president of the United States of America has declared war on the people of Chicago and people across America.
00:22:38.000He's more interested in giving billions of dollars to other nations while farmers in urban city cities around this country are literally being destabilized.
00:22:49.000Yeah, I I'm uh does anyone know what he's talking about about the farmers and urban.
00:23:00.000Well, those are words that came out of his mouth.
00:23:02.000If they they they liberals, I mean, these leftists, their brains kind of work like LLMs.
00:23:09.000They just throw words together into a salad bowl and they shake it up and then they pour it out, and after a certain number of times, they find that specific words get them the results that they want, but there's not actually a demonstration of a real understanding of language.
00:23:23.000This is why they call men women, this is why they call everything they don't like racist, this is why you're a homophobe if you know you don't want some pervert dancing in front of your child and drag.
00:23:34.000I mean, his words mean nothing, and that's why they mean nothing.
00:23:37.000Well, I mean, look, the the left largely doesn't believe in overarching narratives.
00:23:43.000There's they're they're just tons of postmodernists on the left, so they don't believe in overarching narratives.
00:23:48.000They don't believe that words actually have meaning.
00:24:00.000And if you look at look at the postmodernist philosophers like Sartre and and Foucault, they say things like, I don't remember exactly who said this, but he said it doesn't matter if if I'm actually making a good argument, all that matters is that I'm interesting because they don't believe in arguments.
00:24:17.000They don't believe that that people can make an argument from an honest position.
00:24:22.000They believe that it's all about power.
00:24:24.000And when you have that as an overarching belief, or even if you don't have an overarching belief and you just adopt that mindset, it doesn't matter what I say, all I have to do is say whatever I can say to win the argument.
00:24:52.000So, as as crazy as that was, let's go back to the first part of what he just said there.
00:24:55.000The right wing in this country wants a rematch of the civil war.
00:25:01.000Which is literally nothing compared, there's nothing that anyone has said at all.
00:25:06.000No, we want the enforcement of federal law.
00:25:08.000We want the enforcement of federal law to be uh to be done.
00:25:12.000We want the it's something called the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution that says that when there is a conflict between state and federal laws, national laws, that it is the federal government that comes first.
00:25:23.000And we know that in the Constitution, it is very clear that the federal government has the authority to uh to enforce the laws when it comes to immigration.
00:25:33.000And by the way, uh, we were talking about this before the show, that you know those mayors and those governors could have done the work to try to prepare for this this coming.
00:25:44.000They could have tried to help those citizens or or excuse me, they could have tried to help those people get out of there in the first place, help the citizens have relief from this massive influx of illegal aliens that came in.
00:26:28.000So they've gotten the history completely backwards, which is gaslighting.
00:26:31.000This is why they're they're a death cult, though.
00:26:33.000Because they'd rather sacrifice their city, they let the cities burn, they're like innocent people die, and not let Trump or the government protect citizens.
00:26:46.000I've mentioned this on the show before.
00:26:47.000Leftism is just the intellectual rationalization for social decay.
00:26:51.000You find these very high-falutant ways of describing your desire to not do the things that you actually have to do as an adult to keep society functioning, And then you call that a belief system, and like certain other people who also want to abdicate all of their responsibility, treat it as if you've said something profound because you've given them an out.
00:27:10.000And so that applies to every facet of society and everything falls apart.
00:27:14.000We know Jack, I'm sure would uh happily tell people about the history of this as a fellow papist, but you look at where the left comes from, it's the French Revolution.
00:27:29.000I don't know if I can describe this on air, but abusing nuns, murdering innocent people.
00:27:36.000This insane, insatiable bloodlust was how they uh was how they broke out of the world's robespier beating prior to the Bolshevik Revolution.
00:27:46.000The left are the genesis of terrorism because of the French Revolution, the terror during the French Revolution.
00:27:51.000That's where the term terrorism comes from.
00:27:54.000And you might remember the school board of education in Chicago, I believe, during 2020 riots rolling out a guillotine in protest of starting schools again.
00:28:03.000These are the ones, the guys who started this, these the ones who set it up.
00:28:06.000Um, my my British friends get on me when they say, well, actually, America was the first revolutionary.
00:28:12.000Okay, but you didn't see that in America.
00:28:14.000You didn't see that type of revolutionary reprisal violence.
00:28:18.000Yeah, it certainly you saw the revolutionary war, but you didn't see this idea of if every if no one uh if people don't refuse to, or if people do refuse to go along with the revolution, they'll be destroyed.
00:28:31.000Uh they what they smashed the Notre Dame Cathedral, by the way, they smashed all the stained glass windows.
00:28:36.000This fire in, you know, what 2019 wasn't the first time it was taken down, uh, attacked, I should say.
00:28:41.000And it was all the statues out front, the you know, the I think it was the kings of Israel are the statues and some of the saints that they all get smashed and destroyed.
00:28:50.000And the entire and the entire cathedral, this is beautiful.
00:28:53.000It gets converted into what they called a temple of reason.
00:29:08.000We are we do not believe in these superstitions of of Christ and Christianity.
00:29:12.000We believe in reason and wisdom, and that's why we're going to kill all the priests and nuns.
00:29:16.000Well, and I I just want to mention this.
00:29:18.000The American Revolution, it's kind of a misnomer in a certain sense.
00:29:22.000There was a revolt and there was a new form of government, but it was not as if they were trying to completely overturn the entire social fabric and build something new and anti-human in its place.
00:29:34.000They didn't try to recreate the calendar, you know, they weren't trying to force religion out of society.
00:29:39.000They actually said it was very important for religion to have its place and specifically for Christianity to have its place.
00:29:45.000So they were very different phenomena.
00:29:47.000And actually, with the French Revolution, many of the people who initially supported the revolution ended up recanting and regretting it when they saw what the the other revolutionaries did.
00:29:58.000I don't think that was so much the case with the American Revolution.
00:30:01.000They ended up being pretty proud of what they built, and for good reason.
00:30:14.000Um they're they're now saying that this this may be uh this sounds like a cartel.
00:30:18.000This I'm just looking at the New York Times updates because we guys, we have to understand what we're talking about here.
00:30:23.000And and and we're gonna ask you this in a second.
00:30:25.000I think what we're looking through are the earl at potentially the early stages of an actual insurrection against the United States government.
00:30:34.000This goes back to the whiskey rebellion, uh, when George Washington, a sitting U.S. president, by the way, rode into battle along with Alexander Hamilton, you know, sort of as his the Sunday never had, you know.
00:31:49.000They're working with the Latin Kings, and you know, some agent that was that knew too much and was in their way, and now they're they're offered there.
00:31:58.000Look at this, they have a cash app account.
00:32:00.000Well, I probably shouldn't even post all that stuff.
00:33:02.000So President Trump, he he is uh federalizing the National Guard, though he's doing so under the auspices of protecting the federal facilities.
00:33:12.000Now, if if President Trump invokes the in the insurrection act, let's take it back to there, that means they can actually go out into the city and and put down this is title, this is Title 10 Black Letter Law, it predates the Civil War because the Insurrection Act is 1807, uh was passed in the wake of the whiskey rebellion to say that the federal government can uh federalize the state militias if there is a case of a rebellion.
00:33:36.000And and this obviously was something that uh that George Washington himself participated in putting down a rebellion.
00:33:43.000So it is not some new law or new tradition or something that Trump made up.
00:33:49.000It goes all the way back to our very first president, the founder of our country.
00:33:54.000At what point does it cross that line?
00:33:57.000Well, we're getting really close to your point.
00:33:59.000I mean, the left projects all the time.
00:34:02.000They project on us, oh, you're fascist, but they're the ones using the tools of government to to harass conservatives.
00:34:09.000They say that um, and you just saw it.
00:34:13.000Uh civil war, the right wants civil war.
00:34:16.000Well, I think they're projecting there.
00:34:18.000And that you know, you gotta pay attention when somebody tells you who they are, believe them.
00:35:08.000It's the people who are always accusing everybody else of being fascist.
00:35:11.000And this is not I I understand that it's cringe to a certain degree to go like, well, the left are the real fascists, the left are the real racists because we're using their language.
00:35:19.000But the truth is, if you look at the actual definition of fascism, instead of thinking fascism just means when right wingers make rules uh or when the law is enforced, you find that leftism and fascism share that similar threat in common.
00:36:07.000But they are every bit as authoritarian as they accuse other, you know, they accuse the right of being.
00:36:13.000Um and to be honest with you, like the the accusations that they level at the right, I'm getting to the point where I kind of want the right to be a little more authoritarian, to be a little more assertive, because things like you've got judges and DAs that will allow the that will that when the police arrest if the police arrest these people, they don't prosecute, they won't put these people in jail, they allow them back on the street, even up to and including people that attack law enforcement.
00:36:44.000The they will assert that they have not done they've done nothing.
00:36:47.000We're just here as peaceful protesters.
00:36:49.000But everyone, everyone knows that the phrase peaceful protester has been a meme since 2020.
00:36:54.000You know, peaceful protester as they're punching people.
00:36:57.000Well, and and here's here's what happened.
00:36:58.000So perfect example of this was in Chicago this weekend that I I know everyone's seen the news, but just think about this.
00:37:05.000There were ICE agents that were boxed in by 10 cars.
00:37:52.000But if what you were saying earlier, I think it's so important about the word and words and how words matter.
00:37:58.000As a Christian, you know, my my Bible starts off in the beginning was the word.
00:38:02.000Could have started off in the beginning was light, or in the beginning was space, or in the beginning was God.
00:38:08.000But it started off the beginning as the word because words are are so powerful.
00:38:13.000And if you believe in a higher authority, then you believe in the power of words.
00:38:19.000And this thread of our culture has lost the word, and they believe that human beings are the ultimate authority, our government is the ultimate authority, and that's why words are so fluid on the left.
00:38:45.000Um that's a really difficult thing for the average person to wrap their head around.
00:38:50.000Because one of the the blind spots that that liberalism or and when I say liberalism, I mean like a a liberal democracy like our our republican form our republican form of government, where we have a republican form of government, but our society is very is a very liberal, focused on liberty, focused on the individual.
00:39:07.000But one of the things that liberalism has kind of a blind spot or is vulnerable to is people that approach the the good hearted and honest debate without the same scruples, right?
00:39:21.000If if you're gonna come to a debate and you don't intend on being honest, and you don't intend on on having a charitable conversation, and all you're gonna do is use uh the most hyperbolic eng way to engage that that you can and just assert that your enemies are are evil and you're assert that that their motivations are bad.
00:39:43.000The people that want to engage in dialogue are generally at a loss, and it makes it really difficult for people to for normal people, people that aren't schooled in that, people that don't understand how people uh the left will operate as a exactly why John Adams said our our country was built for a moral and religious people.
00:40:03.000100% exactly to go back to what Jack was saying about you were saying this is the beginning of the overthrow of our government, those seeds I think were planted 60s and 70s.
00:40:12.000I don't know if it's I don't know if they're gonna overthrow to be fair, I don't they want to overthrow our government.
00:40:17.000Well, let's just say overthrow our society.
00:40:19.000But they and that's that's what they want.
00:40:20.000In this if but in this instance, what I just want to limit it to this, that when you're looking at Portland, you're looking at at Chicago, which you know are sort of the the pivot point cities, they're the key cities in those their respective states, Oregon, Illinois.
00:40:33.000Uh, there's tons of uh parts of Illinois and Oregon that are not in rebellion.
00:40:37.000But with these cities being in open rebellion, they are testing whether or not the federal government will have the resolve to do to be able to enforce the law here.
00:41:28.000Well, this is one of those hilarious things that every now and again, and and listen, I'm not trying to put everyone in the generation in the same box.
00:41:35.000My parents are boomers, they're wonderful people, they're incredibly based.
00:41:38.000But it was just the fact that that generation was particularly consumed by by media and by television.
00:41:44.000And I think part of the reason that we're not is because we've gotten more skeptical of what we've been told by by the pundits and the the folks on TV.
00:41:53.000But I will say this I when somebody points I saw this.
00:41:57.000Somebody pointed out, like, well, the weather underground uh was was setting off bombs and they were extremely violent, but like no one talks about it and no one knew about it because it wasn't on TV.
00:42:08.000And every now and again you'll see some older guy commenting, like, no, I was there and it didn't happen.
00:42:13.000But making their point no, I know they're making their point.
00:42:54.000There's empirical data to show that this did have an effect at the time that is kind of misremembered or just totally overlooked by other things.
00:43:34.000No, it sounds like it was people like Seamus' dad sitting there going, hey, we need to do something about these crazy hippies, let's put Nixon in there.
00:43:40.000And then so then Watergate happens two years later, totally overshadows everything that people were fighting against in 68.
00:43:47.000So remember, Nixon wins in 68 and then wins in 72, campaigning on what?
00:43:52.000Cleaning up the streets, and by the way, ending the war in Vietnam.
00:43:58.000Um, and this idea that, and by the way, I I I do believe that uh Watergate itself will be exposed one day, and we'll get the truth about how he was totally set up by the redemption arc.
00:44:17.000Um, because we've got some oh wow, and more spying coming up.
00:44:21.000Um, but but I want to hit a a couple more pieces on this before we do get to the next story.
00:44:24.000But it's it it does just goes to show you that even though we haven't done any movies on this, and and certainly, you know, do you by the way, Seamus?
00:44:33.000Do you have any freedom tunes on the weather underground?
00:44:34.000We actually haven't done a freedom tunes on the I'm part of the problem.
00:45:33.000Um and so uh they ended up raising the son of another uh pair of members of the Weather Underground who did go to jail for I believe killing a security guard or um when they were conducting a bank robbery, and his name was Chessa Boudin, and he became the George Soros DA of San Francisco.
00:46:13.000Um, but I I've done videos on what was happening in the 60s and even prior, you look at Alfred Kinsey and his whole series of perversions in the facts.
00:46:39.000No, but in all seriousness, hey, maybe the weather underground is gonna have to come up in an episode of Twisted Plots, maybe we'll it's worth it.
00:46:45.000It's worth pointing out in the 60s, there were a lot of people.
00:46:47.000The the average person thinks that all of the the hippies were anti-war and stuff.
00:46:52.000And to be honest with you, like there was a small portion that were anti-war, but they were anti-Vietnam war, not because they're against exercising power, but because they were on the side of the communists.
00:47:02.000That's literally they were on the side of the Viet Cong.
00:47:05.000They were they thought that the United States was an imperial force and that it was evil and that the communists were the actual good guys.
00:47:11.000That's why Jane Fonda went to North uh North Vietnam and and did all the you know, took all the pictures that she did and and basically was giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
00:47:19.000It was because they thought the US was on the wrong side.
00:47:22.000So it's not that they were against war, it's they were against the United States and they were communists, so they were ideologically aligned with the North.
00:47:28.000And and Shane, do you know the um do you know the Star Wars tie-in there?
00:47:38.000So the original draft of Star Wars, which would become the first movie with uh Lucas's script, which is totally thrown out by Fox by 20th Century Fox, was the the rebels were based on the Viet Cong.
00:47:53.000And the Empire was based on the United States and France, and obviously he drew on a lot of trappings from like Dune and stole a lot of Frank Herbert's um uh iconography, but that's what he wanted it to be, and he wanted it to be this story where the rebels literally were uh were that and so if you actually watch it,
00:48:14.000it doesn't happen in in the first Star Wars movie, but in the third movie in Return of the Jedi, you can really see like some of those scenes when they're on um uh oh gosh, Endor, thank you.
00:48:24.000When they're on Endor, it kind of seems like a Vietnam style movie, and that's why.
00:48:41.000But look, we do have uh, you know, look, uh, before we before we go off, I I know I keep saying we're going to I'm just gonna say it.
00:48:48.000Um I think if if President Trump were to invoke the insurrection act for for these specific cases and for this specific enforcement power, I think America would be behind him.
00:48:59.000The same way that the same country that voted for Nixon in 68 and 72, uh, the same people who can see the abject violence out there, I think America would be for it.
00:49:14.000I so I I tend to agree, but with one caveat, I think that most Americans would support it.
00:49:19.000The problem is we've got like what between 50 and 100 million people here.
00:49:23.000I mean, yes, they say there's only 20 million illegals after they just like left the border wide open for decades and never increased the number of illegals that were here in the statistics since like what like the early 2000s, it's just always been the same number of.
00:49:34.000Well, and what are those and what are those networks doing?
00:49:36.000They're putting hits on border patrol agents.
00:49:41.000That Americans would support it, but that like a quarter of the people in the country wouldn't be.
00:49:46.000By the way, I and and uh I believe they if you go back to Title Ten, if you go back to the actual insurrection act, you're we're not talking about just insurrection.
00:49:54.000You've got foreign invaders on your soil.
00:49:56.000If there's a if you can put the tie, and I'm and by the way, I'm sure it's not gonna take a lot to tie the Latin Kings to the cartels.
00:50:02.000Yeah, um, that because we keep pointing this out that the street violence that's going on in all of these cities, the gangs are getting the fentanyl from the cartels.
00:50:12.000And so black letter law, the president has complete authority and has had so since the day he put his hand on the Bible to invoke this act to stop what's going on in their cities.
00:50:21.000And if we get to the point where there are foreign-based organizations that are putting out hits on the border patrol, then look, a a limited, a limited, partial two percent invocation of the insurrection act would be absolutely warranted.
00:50:39.000And Mr. President, we would support you.
00:50:41.000We did that in Washington, D.C. Well, so in DC in DC, it's not a state.
00:50:50.000When it comes down to it, but so it's a different case, but it is, I think, a show of how many people would support Trump if he did that, and if he put down these crazy riots in a lot of these cities, I was in DC when he did that.
00:51:03.000And you know, even in 2020, when he was able to do that, and then again this year, and I remember in 2020 in the riots, and we would have these buses of federal agents and National Guard just coming in, and then you'd see the guys come off, and they're all they're all kitted up, and I'm just sitting there like, let's go.
00:51:33.000Like DC's 93 and a half percent Democrat and the other six and a half percent is communist.
00:51:38.000So for the fact that that city has has been supportive of the National Guard there, uh, tells me that the rest of the country, I believe, would be too.
00:51:46.000That's because they they really do live with the results of having you know having a a police department and a judicial system that doesn't put people in prison, doesn't actually take the criminals off the street.
00:51:59.000And this is something we've talked about before on on the show.
00:52:26.000The guy that did it, 22-year-old kid allegedly did it, was responsible for 30% of the murders in Birmingham, Alabama, city of a million people that year.
00:52:37.00030% one so that that I mean, I I completely believe you, and and that only you know makes my point.
00:52:44.000It you don't have to actually you know violate a bunch of people's rights and and do all this this this large operation stuff.
00:52:53.000You need to get the handful of people that are extremely violent, and you put them in jail for uh you know, until they're 50, right?
00:53:01.000So that way they're no longer all young and full of vim and vigor and want to go out and get weird, right?
00:53:06.000Put them in jail until they're old men, and then the whole population is better for it.
00:53:12.000And that's all that really needs to happen.
00:53:26.000We just want the laws enforced, we want the rules enforced.
00:53:28.000But our second story tonight, we have more text messages from Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones.
00:53:36.000Now you may have seen over the weekend, or if you didn't, that uh this guy, Jay Jones, got into a little bit of trouble for text messages that he put out in well, I should say he that he sent in 2022.
00:53:49.000They just came out in the wake of him running, where he sent text messages to a GOP house delegate, a woman, uh, talking about and and my gosh, I I actually can't even read this on air, so I'm not gonna read it,
00:54:04.000but he talked about specific killings of other uh and in detail in graphic detail and uh referred to his um opponents as you know, he said Gilbert was the guy's name, and then he said, Gilbert, Hitler, and Paul Pot.
00:54:38.000After he she asked him to stop texting her that stuff, he then repeated reportedly called her and suggested that he wished his wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that he might reconsider his political views.
00:54:57.000This is a guy who's running for AG in Virginia.
00:55:02.000Now he's been endorsed by all the Democrats.
00:55:04.000None of them have rescinded their their endorsements.
00:55:07.000Uh Joe Scarborough, though, I'll give him credit on this.
00:55:33.000Firstly, it is literally the exact opposite, by the way.
00:55:37.000Like aside from how hideous that statement is, the reason police officers fear for their lives is because there's a legitimate threat and they are being killed.
00:55:45.000But secondly, this is twisted beyond normal wrath.
00:55:51.000There, there's something deeply psychologically wrong with this person.
00:56:36.000If you thought that I was being uh that I was, you know, uh, you know, talking a little bit too much, go look at the reaction of Charlie Kirk's murder.
00:56:45.000Go look at the way this people celebrate and they say, Well, what about right wing violence?
00:56:49.000I say nobody on the right celebrates violence like this.
00:57:14.000They did laugh at the circumstances, they made jokes about the fact that he was in his underwear, there was a bunch of rumors going around about the the you know the context and and the situation, but they weren't celebrating, they weren't doing the same thing that the left did.
00:57:28.000When the left found out or saw the video of Charlie getting killed, they were instantly celebrating.
00:57:34.000They were saying, Thank goodness, thank God, blah, blah, blah.
00:57:59.000The left has been a an openly terrorist organization, at least if if you want to be charitable, at least since 2020, when they were rioting and burning down cities over what it is basically was basically basically a lie.
00:58:13.000And also they had been they have been using government as in local district attorneys and local uh police departments and local judges to to allow criminals to remain free.
00:58:26.000And and basically allowing these people to terrise, you know, normal good hardworking Americans.
00:58:33.000Morgan, the silence from the left right now is is is truly shocking.
00:58:38.000That they, if you don't condemn it, you condone it.
00:59:44.000People will fixate on something and then they will eventually do it.
00:59:48.000And when it comes to left-wing fantasies of of harming children, whether of this variety or others, we're told by certain left-wing activists, firstly, tacitly by the people who are silent about this, but also about others who will try to argue that oh, well, somebody thinking about something doesn't mean they're gonna really go do it in real life.
01:00:09.000If someone's an alcoholic, do you give them the advice that they should think about drinking all day?
01:00:13.000Because that's going to be a good outlet to get them to stop drinking.
01:00:16.000The reason they say it's okay for people to quote unquote muse, which is the word one article used to describe this man fantasizing about these children dying.
01:00:25.000The reason that that they say that it's okay for these people to muse about this is because of course they know what we know that thoughts lead to actions and they want it to happen.
01:00:38.000Guard your thoughts was thoughts become words and words become actions and actions become destiny and your character.
01:00:45.000There are people that are on the on the supposedly moderate left that have said things like there's a streamer named Destiny that said things like, Look, we want to see conservatives afraid of dying if they go out and and promote their political opinions.
01:01:03.000So that way they will they will petition their leaders to tell them to turn the to turn the rhetoric down, to turn the temperature down, which is on its face, that's a dumb thing, right?
01:01:13.000We're going to endorse terrorism because terrorism works.
01:01:18.000We want these people to be terrorized so that way they will tell their their leaders that the you know people like Donald Trump that that they should not, you know, they should do things to turn down the temperature.
01:01:30.000We'll turn the temperature up in order to get them to turn down the temperature, which is historically a massively counterproductive effort, right?
01:01:39.000People don't respond to terrorism by saying, especially on the levels that that would be thought possible in the United States, right?
01:01:48.000You're not going to get a massive terrorist attack, or or you're not going to get massive terrorism, amounts of terrorism out of the left nowadays.
01:01:55.000And if you did, I mean, look what happened in 9-11.
01:01:58.000Like we we we mobilized the entire country to respond to a terrorist attack that killed 3,000 people.
01:02:04.000Like the idea that terrorism is going to produce the right, was going to cow the right and make the right say, no, we should, we should, we should tell our leaders to turn down the temperature.
01:02:15.000That is an objectively stupid thing to think on its face.
01:03:07.000But you don't hear I'm I'm not getting hit up by a reporter saying, when are we gonna, you know, Manu Rajo isn't running around uh Capitol Hill saying, Well, are you gonna are you gonna tone down the rhetoric?
01:03:21.000Because when my friend was murdered, all right, three weeks ago, and the very first thing I heard was, Are you guys gonna tone down the red egg?
01:03:28.000I'm like, I haven't even said anything.
01:03:32.000Why aren't you guys gonna tone down the reddit?
01:03:34.000I said well, first of all, my friends in a box, uh, there are bullets flying.
01:03:40.000One of them hit him, and there's bullets flying at ice agents, and the media's first response is to ask the right to tone down rhetoric when we're the ones who are catching bullets all of a sudden.
01:03:55.000They literally said, Will this terrorist attack work?
01:05:10.000He had just gotten out of disgusting the Virginia House of Delegates when he sent these messages, and apparently he was sending it to a a friend that thought would share that he would, you know, perhaps share her beliefs.
01:05:23.000Or then he starts calling her and berating her.
01:05:27.000But this speaks to what you were just saying, Shane.
01:05:30.000Why would he think that someone else would be open to hearing that?
01:05:32.000Probably because a lot of people on his side of the political aisle have been.
01:05:36.000He was probably surprised by the fact that someone was upset by it.
01:05:40.000Look, you see these people in in in in DC, Morgan, you've been to DC, you know how it's like.
01:05:44.000I'll never forget, by the way, of all the text messages, and this doesn't line up to our next story of all the text messages between uh Lisa Struck, or excuse me, Lisa, Lisa Page and Peter Shruck, the one that always stands out with me is the one that talks about how all of DC just looks down on middle America and just hates middle America.
01:06:04.000And they and they said, they said you can smell the Walmart on Trump supporters.
01:06:10.000Yeah, you can smell the Walmart on them.
01:06:13.000And that is that that elitist bubble in which all these people live that they they think we are better, we are the anointed ones, we are the best, and all you all you hicks, all you inbred, uh, you know, gullible losers stuck in the middle of the country.
01:06:31.000Yeah, the bitter clingers that Barack Obama said.
01:06:34.000The great unifier Barack Obama, the very like all of his memorable quotes were just nasty, horrible things he said, but he wasn't as funny when he said them as Trump was.
01:06:44.000It just kind of came off as bitchy and sad.
01:06:47.000Look at the timeline of the invective, though.
01:06:49.000Look at where we started under look at where we started under Barack Obama and where we are now, right?
01:06:54.000We've gone from clinging to their guns and their Bibles, and then we got into their fascists and their you know, they're their authoritarians, and now they're just simply let's just kill them.
01:07:09.000And you say it over and over and over.
01:07:11.000So as horrific as that is, unfortunately, that's where we're at, where not only are we seeing the violence, not only seeing the open rebellion, we're also seeing these statements being made by a major party candidate for an extremely powerful office, by the way, and no pushback, no pushback from his own party.
01:07:32.000But let's talk about what they do when they actually do get into power, and then of course they lie about it so much that we can barely find out information in Our next story.
01:07:42.000Story three here breaking, and this was really just breaking as soon as we came into the show today, tonight.
01:07:47.000So we haven't all had a huge chance to get into it, but I think we'll understand it because unfortunately it's something we've been talking about for a long time now.
01:07:54.000Biden's FBI was spying on Republican senators under the Arctic Frost investigation.
01:08:02.000Senator Grassley has come out and put out this information.
01:08:05.000I believe there's a statement now as well from uh Dan Bongino.
01:08:10.000And Senator Grassley put this out, released a document on X showing the FBI conductor surveillance on eight Republican senators, part of an investigation called Arctic Frost.
01:08:20.000Now, this is the same investigation that targeted our organization TPUSA in the wake of January 6th.
01:08:28.000Grassley wrote, This document shows the FBI spied on eight of my Republican Senate colleagues during the Arctic Frost investigation to quote election conspiracy.
01:08:38.000Arctic Frost later became Jack Smith's elector case against Trump.
01:08:44.000Biden FBI weaponization equals worse than Watergate.
01:08:47.000This is what Morgan was referring to earlier.
01:08:51.000So an FBI special agent conducted a preliminary toll analysis on limited tolls record records associated with the following U.S. senators.
01:08:59.000So that they're talking about specific phones in this case.
01:09:02.000Senator Mike Kelly, Senator Lindsey Graham, Bill Haggerty, Josh Hawley, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tubberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Loomis, and Marsha Blackburn.
01:09:14.000Morgan, you you worked for Senator Tupperville.
01:09:20.000I mean, they're they're flat out trying to stop people under the two hop rule, your phone was probably hit uh for sure caught up in this as well.
01:09:32.000The established the blob, as I call it in Washington, and it is the uniparty blob, cannot stand people like Tommy Tubberville because they can't control him, and because he's off script, and they can't they they cannot stand that.
01:09:46.000And so that's why they went after him.
01:09:48.000Uh and it it's it's disgusting to me to see our own government going after elected officials.
01:09:55.000He owns he he holds the election certificate.
01:09:58.000He was elected by six and a half million people in the state of Alabama to represent them in the halls of Congress in the U.S. Senate, and here they're spying on him.
01:10:14.000I mean, the government spied on different organizations, obviously ones I don't agree with, but still they spied on him, and that led to assassinations.
01:10:25.000The apparatus of government at the highest level at the FBI, at the CIA, at the IRS, all of the three letter agencies to harass and dig dirt on Republicans.
01:10:37.000It's it's worth noting that just about an hour ago, uh Senate Majority Leader Thune um mentioned uh he or he tweeted, he said, I have grave concerns about the a new report showing that the Biden era FBI spied on Republican senators, and I fully support Senate committees getting to the bottom of this outrageous abuse of power and weaponization of the government.
01:10:57.000That was also uh re retweeted by uh Harmy Dillon, the assistant attorney general.
01:11:02.000Um, so it is a positive step, or at least I think that it's a positive step that the a lot of the people in DC, uh people in the DOJ and in the Senate, they're paying attention to this, and it looks like this isn't gonna be something that just gets swept in the world.
01:11:23.000Yeah, and and we don't have a lot of time to do it.
01:11:26.000We're gonna lose the country if we do not root this kind of corruption out of our government.
01:11:32.000Cash Patel was also tweeting about it as well.
01:11:34.000So, like I said, it's it's it's it's obviously not uh a guarantee that something's gonna be done, but at least the right people are aware of it and making it making it known.
01:11:42.000So I I do look forward to some kind of uh hearings on you know on Capitol Hill.
01:11:49.000And and I mean, there should be an investigation by the DOJ, you know, the theory.
01:11:56.000I believe he's gonna I work for Cash Patel, and that's a guy that's not gonna back down.
01:12:00.000He's going to he's gonna chase it out.
01:12:02.000Um, but we've got to support them because they have declared war on us and they've said very clearly what they want to do.
01:12:08.000The Democrats have said, we're gonna pack the Supreme Court, we're gonna get rid of the filibuster, we're gonna make DC and Puerto Rico a state.
01:12:18.000Um, we're gonna, you know, write law from the Oval Office and never mind Congress.
01:12:22.000Uh, and then we're gonna use all of the tools of government so that you never win an election again.
01:12:27.000So this is why this is why I keep saying to all those people that come out there and say, Well, hold on, guys, if if we do something, what what's to stop the left from using it against us?
01:13:04.000What who did they launch investigations into?
01:13:07.000Charlie Kirk, turning point USA, as well as 92 other Republican groups and individuals replaced under scrutiny.
01:13:15.000I'm sure, you know, probably like all of us in the room.
01:13:17.000Um, and and now we're finding that in Arctic Frost, this this massive sweeping operation included eight sitting US centers.
01:13:27.000This is like this is like when when East Germany fell and the Stasi records became do you guys know about this?
01:13:35.000Yeah, that when the Stasi records became available for public view, you could go to the East German secret police headquarters and request to see your file.
01:13:44.000And if you ever go watch this movie, massive shout out, you absolutely have to see it.
01:13:51.000The lives of Others is the greatest movie on communism that has ever been made.
01:13:56.000Um, and it is told through the eyes of a German secret police uh agent as he's um as he's conducting surveillance on this guy who's a playwright that he's worried is putting anti-communist messaging into his plays and his girlfriend who is also like the leading lady in the plays and the way that the party and the manipulation and everything that goes on,
01:14:19.000but all it's all through us watching through little cameras and listening on on the headphones the entire time.
01:14:26.000And at the very end, the guy goes to request his own file and then says, Oh my gosh, all of these things that I thought were just random occurrences, it was all an intelligence operation that was being run against me and these horrible things that were going on in my life, and and it's obviously based on so many true stories, but this is what happens, and we saw this during COVID.
01:14:49.000People say, where does this come from?
01:14:51.000And yeah, there's philosophy, and yes, it comes from the 60s, but I think there's something in human nature as well, and I want to ask you about this, Seamus.
01:14:57.000There's something in human nature, and we saw it come out during COVID that people love having power over another.
01:15:04.000And you remember the snitches and the snitch lines in the UK and and some states, Tim Waltz was doing this, the snitch lines.
01:15:12.000Oh, I can't wait to snitch on my neighbor.
01:15:14.000What is that about human nature, Seamus?
01:15:17.000So there's something about us as humans, which is just constantly trying to drag us to hell.
01:15:23.000There is goodness in humans, there's good things about us, but but there is a woundedness that we carry with us because of our first parents.
01:15:32.000And I believe it was Chesterton who said this that original sin is the most controversial but best evidenced Christian belief.
01:15:42.000It's like if you just look at the world and history and how it's operated, you go like, there's something wrong with these people, right?
01:15:49.000Everyone is like this, you know, uh perfect person is you know Rousseau would say that we are corrupted by society.
01:16:04.000We're we're constantly trying to make ourselves gods.
01:16:06.000There's a great quote from from Fulton Sheen.
01:16:08.000He said, The uh I'm gonna butcher this, so forgive the paraphrasing, but he said it now comes down to those who believe God became man and those who believe man will become God.
01:16:22.000Charlie was uh was a huge Fulton Sheen guy.
01:16:34.000I've got the long clips on YouTube, and just watching Fulton Sheen over and over and over.
01:16:40.000I said, Man, there now there's a there's a Catholic you could put on his number one show in America, but when he was on TV number one show.
01:16:47.000And And you're right, there's something about the fallen nature.
01:16:49.000There's something about people wanting that power.
01:17:20.000Well, the the idea of going no contact, that's something you hear from the left all the time, right?
01:17:25.000If you have a family member that is in somehow upsetting you and and politically has uh an opinion that you don't like or yeah, they just stop, you know, break off the connection.
01:17:36.000That's the kind of thing that cults do.
01:17:39.000Like you should be able to reconcile or deal with the fact that your family is going to have different different opinions to you, and it's perfectly fine to disagree because there's still family.
01:17:53.000The left behaves like a cult, and I don't want to get into the the specific definition of cult and stuff like that.
01:18:01.000But when you have a group of people telling you that you should break off contact with your family because they disagree with you, they are not your friend because they will kick you to the curb the instant that you do something that they disagree with.
01:18:17.000Your family is probably not gonna do that.
01:18:20.000Dude, my grandma lived with me when she was dying of leukemia, and uh I she you know word got out that I didn't think J Six was so bad.
01:18:29.000Oh my gosh, and uh a family member had to come by and had this.
01:18:32.000I walked in on a secret little meeting he was having, a struggle session with my poor grandma dying of leukemia, basically calling me an insurrectionist for not condemning J6 and thinking it was as bad as 9-11 or Pearl Harbor.
01:18:44.000Oh, listen, I was in the Secretary of Defense's office on J6, standing next to the Secretary of Defense, listening to the calls that came in, and I would tell people at home, like, yeah, Nancy Pelosi called in and was she terrified?
01:19:30.000So when AOC claimed what she claimed on January 6th, I I actually I I threw up a map break and I drew a map of where the Capitol is and how far away her office is from any of the things that were actually taking place.
01:19:45.000For for example, you could be on the other side of the Capitol and not know that there was anything taking place that was untoward on the uh I guess that would be the west side of the Capitol.
01:19:58.000If you're on the east side, you you would have no idea.
01:20:09.000We were watching Trump's each there with Rahim Kassam, we're coming down the hill, and you know, at first it's just hey, it seems like there's a lot of guys in red hats over there.
01:20:22.000Now, they were they were on the steps to be sure, but they were peaceful right up until the point where the Capitol Police threw flashbangs into the crowd.
01:20:30.000That is what set off the violence that day.
01:20:32.000It was the response to this, which was totally a break with the rules of engagement.
01:20:36.000There were no calls to disperse, there were no loudspeakers used, there was nothing like that.
01:20:40.000They threw flashbangs into a peaceful crowd, and I will always remember that because I saw it with my two my my bare eyes.
01:20:47.000But Jack, there were no federal agents at fully not 275.
01:20:54.000I remember we had just finished the summer of unhinged leftist rioting where billions of dollars in damage was caused, and anywhere between 20 and 30 people died, depending on the numbers you're looking at.
01:21:26.000And so they said rioting's the language of the unheard when the left was writing.
01:21:29.000And then when the right had like a riot that was instigated by feds, they went, well, the only way to stop this from happening further is to ensure that they're totally unheard forever.
01:22:30.000They don't, there's no, you can't call them hypocrites because they don't have principles in the first place.
01:22:35.000One of the things that they're, that I'm seeing a lot now is like, when you're like, oh, you know, we have to worry about the fact that there are terrorists that want to terrorize Americans for their political beliefs.
01:22:46.000They want to use violence to get Americans to change their political beliefs.
01:22:50.000And then they the left will say things like, oh, now you're not a now you're not pro-free speech.
01:22:55.000Now you're a hypocrites, blah, blah, blah.
01:22:58.000The fact of the matter is, this is another exercise of power, and it has nothing to do with what they believe because they don't believe in free speech.
01:23:07.000They don't believe in any of the things that they will assert.
01:23:11.000And we've seen it for the past decade.
01:23:13.000So when they go to you know when they find conservatives or they assert that conservatives are hypocrites, ignore them.
01:23:20.000We are in we have the House, the Senate, and the presidency, even if only slim margins, the government should be using every bit of legitimate power that it has to put the terrorist threat away.
01:23:37.000Put these people in jail if they're making terroristic threats, if they're if they're if they're aiding terrorists, if they're engaging in violence against police, put them in jail for a long, long time.
01:23:48.000Every legitimate use of power that the government can engage in, they should be.
01:24:02.000The people who level accusations of hypocrisy the most tend to be those who don't actually believe in anything.
01:24:09.000So it's really easy for them to say you're not living up to their beliefs because like their beliefs are I should get to do whatever I want all the time.
01:24:16.000It's like, well, you are very principled, I suppose.
01:24:19.000Yeah, the morality's fixed to a weather van.
01:24:21.000It's never one way, there's no center to it.
01:24:25.000It's like it's it's it's easy to not be hypocritical when your perspective changes literally the second popular morality does.
01:24:32.000So the I don't think that there is any any legitimate argument that the left can possibly make against this, seeing as they've not only used every bit of legitimate government power, but it seems if you go by what uh uh Chuck Rassley was saying, it seems that they've actually even gone and violated the law in in an effort to keep their own political power.
01:24:58.000So I'm not worried about the things that the left accuses me of or anyone else on the right of.
01:25:33.000So speaking of this, all right, we've got it, we've got to get so we're talking about pop culture, we're talking about you know, all this guys.
01:25:40.000Uh I I hate to have to do this, but we're doing it.
01:26:13.000And so Bad Bunny is this performer who is incredibly anti-ICE, he's been anti-US government.
01:26:19.000He said that he will not perform in the United States while ICE is conducting operations.
01:26:24.000However, he's been tapped to be the Super Bowl halftime show because Jay-Z runs the entire Super Bowl halftime show, an exclusive contract that he has with the NFL, which is a product of the 2020 uh situation because of the George Floyd situation, BLM riots.
01:26:41.000They said, okay, we're gonna sign over all of this to Jay-Z, the best friend of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama and Beyonce, and he now has full reign over the over the Super Bowl halftime show.
01:26:53.000I think until 2026 or maybe even 2029.
01:26:57.000And so why are they putting someone like Bad Bunny in?
01:27:00.000Now, Tim and I talked about this the other night, but it's because Bad Bunny is the top-streamed artist, but only among people who speak Spanish.
01:27:08.000So he's a very niche artist when it comes to the widespread United States market, but of course, they're trying to put him in everything they can.
01:27:32.000Um, but no, he was it was it was it was very schlocky.
01:27:36.000But for some reason, they just randomly Netflix has this corporate insertion, and of course, we know that the Obamas are also very close with Netflix, uh, millions of dollars in that contract.
01:27:46.000Suddenly Bad Bunny shows up and has this just tons of screen time alongside Adam Sandler when no one's you know heard of this guy if you speak English.
01:27:55.000And this has really come down to be the great, you know, sort of discerning factor on Bad Bunny.
01:28:00.000So he mentions this as well on uh on SNL.
01:28:04.000And I'm gonna play the clip here for you.
01:28:06.000I'm very excited to be doing the Super Bowl, and I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy, especially Latino.
01:28:24.000Y aquà and los Estados Unidos, todas las personas can trabajado para abrir puertas, mas con loro mio, uhro de todo, demonstrando que nuestra huella y nuestra policÃa, nadie nunca la podrá sacar ni borrar.
01:29:54.000You know, Whoopi, that is such a great cultural appropriation and seeing I love it.
01:29:59.000If she can tell who's who Whoopi Goldberg is saying that everyone should, all the white people should go to the Super Bowl in brown face with a Latin Latin accent to mess with ice.
01:30:49.000We are the ones who have the cultural identity, the cultural power, the cultural imperialism.
01:30:53.000So we are going to re reverse cultural imperialize you.
01:30:58.000That's what they're doing with the Super Bowl.
01:31:00.000And this this comes on the heels of, of course, what we already have the black national anthem, right?
01:31:05.000That that is played, and we'll see if it's played at this Super Bowl.
01:31:07.000I believe it was played for the last couple of years now.
01:31:10.000And when you you have these things, you know, and that go on at a massive cultural touchstone moment, like the Super Bowl, which is supposed to bring us all together, right?
01:31:23.000You know, you could root for different teams, but we're all together in the sense that we're all American.
01:31:27.000Uh Coach Taboo, of course, knows uh knows a little something about about comp competition and playing together, but also you maintain that we're all the same under the red, white, and blue, the stars and stripes.
01:31:39.000It is crap like this that they are trying to pit us all against each other.
01:31:44.000And you know, these these guys talk about civil war, and it's like they keep throwing fuel on the fire.
01:31:51.000Turn down the rhetoric, and then you get stuff like this.
01:31:53.000Yeah, look, it's just racism, first off, right?
01:31:57.000I don't get into the into this conversation a whole lot because I don't like to to sound like I'm I'm uh trying to make make myself or or people like me a victim.
01:32:07.000But the point of this is just anti-white and anti-American, honestly.
01:32:13.000Marxism yeah, it is, it is, but that but Marxism, this is the tool that they're using at this at this time, because you know, um Mark Hughes said in One Dimensional Man, he said that the the revolutionary energy is no longer with the working classes because capitalism delivers the goods, right?
01:32:33.000He said that that capitalism can provide not just the things that you need, but it provides a good life.
01:32:39.000So we have to look elsewhere for the revolutionary and energy.
01:32:42.000And he said that you know, you have to look to he said you have to look to the to basically to the minority populations to black Latinos, you know, black and brown people, as the as the left would say today.
01:32:51.000And so what this is actually fomenting is a way to induce a revolution.
01:32:57.000You know, it is you're right, it is Marxism.
01:33:26.000And then by the way, you know what they'll say next?
01:33:29.000They will say, oh, well, every other performer, you know, I don't know if Shakira or whatever, you know, we've had English Super Bowl halftime shows this many times.
01:33:37.000So how many, and then they start counting it.
01:33:53.000The United States should actually Congress should pass a law that says that in the United States, English is our national language, and then the United States should stop making any kind of paperwork, anything in any other language.
01:34:08.000No more going to the DMV and deciding whether you want Spanish or Chinese or or what uh what have you language?
01:34:15.000You go to the United States, if you go to an official government uh bureaucracy, everything's in English.
01:35:05.000But when it comes to engaging in the United States, engaging with the public in the United States, there should only be one ang one language spoken.
01:35:13.000And it should be it should be it should be government mandated.
01:35:16.000Could you imagine this happening in like Japan?
01:35:44.000She believes that Japan should be for the Japanese, and I I would I think that the world would lose a massive uh a treasure if Japan stopped being Japan.
01:35:56.000Like I want you to say and why is it that we can say that for Japan, but you can't say that for the United States.
01:36:00.000Because the US is is a a place where people have come from Europe.
01:36:04.000There are there are countries that really whether or not, and again, whether or not you agree about what the US should be.
01:36:10.000The US didn't the people that are from that were like uh the original, I guess, people that lived that lived here, the they were this place was colonized.
01:36:20.000Settlers, the pioneers, settlers and the settler spirit, the US is a belief system, it's perfectly unites us as a belief system, not a race, not a religion.
01:36:47.000By the way, I've got to be able to do that.
01:36:50.000By the way, have you seen I've yet to see one?
01:36:52.000And I keep saying this, when you know, an ice video that's come out of one of these raids where the guy is speaking and a lot goes up and covers these.
01:37:00.000Show me one where the guy is speaking English.
01:37:38.000You have people, of course, a history of people changing names, a history of people, you know, anglicizing things that were coming from different parts of the of uh of the world.
01:38:21.000Oh, and I I can sleep through a lot, but that that train, I I really did think we were gonna leave the track several times.
01:38:28.000I remember sitting and then and then you're in there's that presidential car at the rear, and uh we were in there, and and we go to see the secretary, and I'm with the Secretary of Treasury, and uh we're trying to get the mineral deal.
01:38:39.000This is this is back when the mineral deal was in March.
01:38:42.000And you know, that was the the uh February, actually.
01:40:03.000And Morgan, you may not know this uh as your your first time guest, but there is a tradition on Timcast IRL that we are going to uphold right now.
01:41:41.000Seamus, why are there so many spoon comments about you?
01:41:44.000I don't know why people say these kinds of things.
01:41:46.000If I had a dollar for every spoon comment, Twisted Plots would be funded by this point.
01:41:53.000You know, for each country you visit or city.
01:41:55.000So no, basically, there was there was an ugly bit of uh referring to the information.
01:42:01.000They're referring to you as Spoon Man.
01:42:03.000There there was an ugly bit of uh yellow journalism from one Tim Poole who lobbed a false accusation uh at me, and I won't even get into the xenophobic undertones, but uh he claimed that there was a person of Irish descent under his house who would steal spoons.
01:43:21.000Um, people are mentioning different books on the weather underground.
01:43:24.000But again, Seamus, there is yet to be any, you know, actual like like scripted media content on weather depicting the weather underground.
01:43:34.000I I know I've been a little bit tongue-in-cheek, but the reality is part of why I'm trying to step into longer form content is because the goal is eventually to start making films.
01:43:45.000One problem is these conservative startups, they bite off more than they can chew.
01:43:48.000They go, We're gonna make they have no experience in film or television.
01:43:51.000They go, We're gonna make 20 movies and 80 shows and all this.
01:43:54.000It's like we just want to make this one show, and then that's gonna be our starting point to grow and tell more stories and shine light on these kinds of issues.
01:44:03.000If you believe in that vision, thank you.
01:44:05.000If you if you believe in that vision, go to twistedplots.com.
01:44:13.000No, please go and support that because that's key.
01:44:15.000Uh this this is a great comment that's in this thank you to Tim, but this is for, and I'm I I am apologize in advance for not knowing the right way to pronounce your name.
01:44:25.000Uh Pasobic Pasobic Pasobic, but we'll see.
01:44:27.000Uh this is from Ryan uh Amaker, and he's saying, Thank you, Tim, for showing my clip of a guy spitting on ice.
01:44:35.000So he's been out there uh covering he's one of these field journalists, citizen journalists who's been really been doing a great job of covering these uh these these events, this violence.
01:44:54.000Can I just say yeah, one of the chat said Sheamus looks like bad bunny, which I don't I have no idea of where the resemblance is, but an image.
01:45:05.000Put on put on the sunglasses, we'll see.
01:46:24.000So and and you know, so we spent two hours talking about that, and and they have uh they have some ideas as to what the United States can do.
01:46:33.000Um they were basically looking to get the uh Secretary of State um to name Nigeria a I forget what the what the specific phrase was, but basically to get some attention from the uh from the State Department and possibly get the president to make some remarks or or start looking into this.
01:46:53.000They believe that if if the US pays a little more attention that the government of Nigeria uh will react respond and actually this genocide against Christians, basically the the the uh the president and basically the presidents of Nigeria and the president's whole cabinet,
01:47:09.000um, they're Muslims, and so they kind of turned to turn a blind eye because there's a lot of tribalism and and such in Nigeria, and the the Muslims are in the north and the Christians are in the south, and that's where the there's oil there that's off the offshore.
01:47:27.000If you look at the the map of Nigeria, the north of Nigeria is a lot of desert and grasslands, whereas the south is more it gets more rain, and and that's where the the resources are, and so the Muslims are pushing further, further south to to go after resources and stuff.
01:47:42.000And you know, it's it's really just a bad situation for for all the Christians involved.
01:47:47.000So we we had a discussion about it and and wanted to shut shed some light on the situation.
01:48:22.000It'll take you to our give send go page.
01:48:24.000Uh we have our our pitch video there, which explains what the show is, how we're budgeting it, where the money's going, so that you know we're being good stewards over these resources and we're making something good with it.
01:48:35.000I'm really transparent through this whole thing about exactly what our goal is.
01:49:08.000Donate now, you can get in the captain's table of my campaign, Captain Morgan's table, and we'll send you a free bill about making English the official language.
01:49:24.000But um, tell us again about the the where people can go to check out more about the campaign.
01:49:31.000Tell us, tell us also, you know, why was it that you decided, you know, at this point in your life with everything that's going on, especially in the wake of all this political violence that we have seen that you've decided to sort of step forward and say, I want, you know, here I am, Lord.
01:49:53.000Um, prayed a lot about it, and I I wasn't gonna talk about my faith, actually, on the campaign trail, because as you know, as a uh Protestant Christian, we always I you know quoted Jesus a lot.
01:50:05.000Um, let them see your faith by your works and not your words.
01:50:09.000And so I I told uh a lot of those closest to me that I didn't really want to talk about my faith a lot on the campaign trail.
01:50:17.000And after Charlie, I realized how wrong that was.
01:50:21.000Uh, and I needed to speak about it more openly and more forthrightly, and that's a gift that uh that he gave to me.
01:50:28.000Um but I chose to run because I I really believe that we need to keep the MAGA movement going.
01:50:46.000There are a lot of people now who claim to love President Trump uh because he's winning.
01:50:51.000Uh we have all three branches of government, we've got both houses of Congress, we're firmly in control of the executive branch, majority on the Supreme Court.
01:51:00.000But back in 2021, it was a really unpopular time.
01:53:25.000And uh usually is a terrible day when it's a fine Navy.
01:53:27.000Yeah, when you say fine Navy Day, that's not that doesn't even mean it's how is it it's it's 30 below and it's sleeting uh well and and I mean it's a fine Navy Day to be there aboard the bush, and I hear I hear the piping and they say and they and they get they say President United States of America arriving.
01:53:45.000Well, actually he would already arrived at this point.
01:53:49.000So I I heard the pipe and I said, What's what's going on?
01:53:51.000And because of the flight deck when he arrived, he was getting on the one MC.
01:54:04.000For the whole, and this wasn't for the cameras, this wasn't televised.
01:54:07.000He just talked to the whole crew and he told them how to great they were.
01:54:10.000I mean, it's a city at sea, and talked to them about how great they were, how much he loved being there, how much he loved the navy, how much he supported them.
01:54:18.000Uh by the way, the first lady had a great time yesterday.
01:54:31.000She's I've you and you you see the first lady, you know, and she's she's you she's known for her poise and her glamour, and you know, she's you know, you know, Versace and Gucci and all this, but I saw a side of First Lady Melania Trump that I'm not used to seeing.
01:54:47.000Gucci went overboard, you know, Gucci overboard, and she's just loving it.
01:54:50.000She's and she spent the entire time on the flight.
01:54:52.000They were there about an hour and a half on the flight deck, which is landing those F 35s, like you know, uh I've done I've done that.
01:54:58.000Um like you know, 30 feet away from you.
01:55:01.000They're they're right there, and they they had the the FA18 did the sonic boom just right off the bow.
01:56:23.000But also, but I I do also like how President Trump has reiterated as well the concept of hemispheric defense.
01:56:31.000And that if that we shouldn't have any business going all around the world, yes, of course, the shipping lanes and and South China Sea and all the rest of it and and the Red Sea and make the Monroe Doctrine great again.
01:56:42.000Yeah, we we we we know the we know all the all the uh all the slocks, right?
01:56:47.000You know, but at the same time, if we've let the homeland, we've let our hemisphere, if we let the Gulf of America be completely subservient to other countries, then no, no, we absolutely can't have that.
01:58:28.000It'll be a good it'll be a good time to get out there on the road.
01:58:30.000I'll it'll be the first time that I'm gonna be on tour, also having a newborn, well, uh a Todd maybe uh baby at the at the same time.
01:58:37.000So we'll go like you'll be like, see you later.
01:58:42.000That's what I'm having to work for the book.
01:58:44.000That reminds me of the middle of this book.
01:58:46.000Don't forget the left land is for crime.
01:58:48.000There's no no announcements, but um, you know, people keep asking me.
01:58:52.000I had this I had this tweet that went pretty viral, uh, that I definitely did not have turning point approval for about should turning point hold a alternative halftime show to Bad Bunny and what if we got Creed to perform.
01:59:23.000However, Scott Stapp is not part of Altar Bridge, so he will not be in Europe during the Super Bowl.
01:59:30.000All I'm saying is all I'm saying is no announcements, I'm not here to announce anything.
01:59:34.000We've got a lot of attention about it.
01:59:36.000We've got a lot of interest in it, the media's been blowing us all up.
01:59:39.000Um and other artists and and and and types have uh, you know, we we've gotten a lot of inquiries and a lot of communication, and all I will say is no announcements but conversations.
01:59:52.000We're at the conversation we did a tour with uh Alder Bridge in 2007.
02:00:07.000And uh so it would be really cool to see uh see Alter Bridge playing a show uh, you know, at the at the Super Bowl halftime as opposed to I can't get Alter Bridge though, because they're the Altar Bridges in the U.S. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
02:00:19.000We'd have to get Scott without them and maybe we can like virtually like you know, sink it up or something.
02:00:26.000I don't know if they have the technology for that, but we do have the technology for the members only hour, which is going to be starting soon, where we're also going to be talking about more libs and specifically hick lib music.
02:00:39.000So make sure you follow, make sure you check that out.
02:00:42.000You want to follow me at Jack Pasobic.
02:08:01.000I just remember that he sold a bunch of tickets.
02:08:04.000And then he was like, these were too expensive for people.
02:08:06.000And then we've got to tell his show or something.
02:08:09.000Yeah, I mean, he he was making a stink about the price of tickets.
02:08:13.000But the thing is, I think that that was uh because of his his inexperience with the industry and stuff, he didn't realize uh, you know, the way that that you know, ticket master and and the fees and and et cetera go.
02:08:30.000If you want to keep your tickets below 40 bucks, that's perfectly admirable, but that means that you have to keep your actual ticket price for the room probably around 20.
02:08:45.000So the advertised price is 20 dollars.
02:08:47.000And then now granted he was probably gonna sell out every place that he went to, but there, you know, look, there's there's math involved in these logistics.
02:08:55.000How much of the math of the venue if the venue costs this much to rent, if there's staff, if there's if it's you're playing in a union town, and you need to get union, like that that all comes down at ticket price.
02:09:09.000Yeah, no, obviously, people don't love the ticket master of the hidden fee stuff, but again, that's that's just how the system works.
02:09:15.000Yeah, and and and artists should understand their their fan base.
02:09:21.000And granted, again, he he blew up from one song, so it's not like he had some kind of you know, deep knowledge about the industry and stuff like that.
02:09:29.000But you know, the way that that we price our tickets, the way that all the remains prizes are tickets, we take into account how big is the room and and how many people can the venue hold and and how many people are gonna be on our crew for this tour, and how much is the bus gonna be, and and look, you know, it it it's all a math problem.
02:09:47.000No, and then this this is something, so you know, obviously when we do turning point events, you know, and we have ticketed events, people say, you know, the in and certain things people say, why is the you know, why is the adult price so much more than the student price?
02:10:00.000And one of the main reasons is because guess what?
02:10:03.000Yeah because we uh we actually don't put that like in our pockets or something.
02:10:07.000What we're actually doing is subsidizing the ticket and in some cases the accommodations and even the airfare uh at times of student groups so that they can come and they can actually partake in these events and open it up to people who perhaps wouldn't be able to if they were just paying the same, you know, full freight adult price.
02:10:27.000And that's one of the things that Charlie was always adamant about.
02:10:30.000And of course there's other you know donors that go into it as well, but this is this is part of the way that Turning Point was set up, that it's meant to be it was always meant to be, you know, you know, meant to be something for the kids so that they could come in, not just the college level, but even the high school level now, click home Club America's And um,
02:10:47.000you know, it's just it goes to that, you know, what you're saying about the ticket prices, because right now we're dealing with that with the um America Fest event, which is gonna be happening in December, where we know we're we we have uh way more tickets than we have capacity for at this point um in the wake of everything that happened.
02:11:07.000And so, you know, we're looking at options to to pack as many as many possible seats in as we can.
02:11:12.000It's just the physical it's it's just physics actually that we're up against at this point.
02:11:35.000But all right, since we're all back, I wanna I want to play this song because we we have to dig into this.
02:11:39.000Uh I I want to get uh and we can talk about it from the cultural side, but Phil, I want I want you to come in on it from the musical side as well.
02:14:28.000You know, they're just they're just trying to help out, trying to participate.
02:14:31.000I mean, it it's it's so infantile to describe this as such a situation.
02:14:38.000I mean, we just were talking about a story where the Latin Kings were putting out an assassination hit on a border patrol agent or C BP agent, uh, which border patrol, um, up in Chicago.
02:14:51.000And but Zach Bryan is thinking, no, no, it's it's you know, they're just going after the the where is it?
02:16:30.000Yeah, well, here's what I would say, yeah.
02:16:33.000Faye, look up the Zach Bryan supporters and strip them of their citizenship.
02:16:36.000Um, but no, it it what it is though, and this is an example of something I call Yellowstoning.
02:16:44.000And it's a trend that I've noticed from the great show, yellow's formerly great show, Yellowstone, where you will see, and in this specific one, you call is an archetype called the Hick Lib.
02:16:55.000And the Hick Lib is someone who and and look, you're you're from Alabama, you may have seen this, where you take someone who's you know, kind of kind of presents themselves as a country boy and is in some corporate position like you know, pop country like this, and sort of has the aesthetics of someone that we would normally perceive to be conservative, and yet they start opening their mouth, and it's like, and that's why we shouldn't have guns anymore.
02:17:21.000And you're like, Well, what what did he just say?
02:17:23.000Yeah, you know, and that's why we need to give the middle finger to ass.
02:17:27.000Wait, wait, uh I'm sorry, what what and so it's it's like a it's like an op that's being run on Middle America and and the South and Appalachia to say, no, it's actually cool to be against Trump, and it's actually it's it's our people against Trump and uh you saw this with Yellowstone, and I'm sorry that people didn't see it coming when they did.
02:17:50.000First, they give him the Antifa girlfriend and to Kevin Costner, and then he's like learning about climate justice, then they have all the stuff about the Indians, and they had the one Monica, right?
02:18:00.000The the the uh you know, is giving these lectures, and you're just forced to watch this for no reason that ties into the story.
02:18:07.000They they actually were in the first season, but then they weren't anymore.
02:18:09.000And then at the very end, they they turn the whole ranch over to the Indians, and you see them taking down the why and like overturning graves and stuff, and it's like if you don't see that as a metaphor for tearing down Western civilization and tearing down as we've been talking about all night here, you know, tearing down the things that our ancestors built in this country, then I I think you're just not paying attention, or maybe you don't understand like the messaging that is not even subliminal.
02:18:37.000I mean, I I don't see how it could get more overt and you know Zach Bryan obviously nowhere near as uh as deft as um oh gosh, what's the Yellowstone guy?
02:18:47.000Tyler Sheridan, um, you know, in his writing, he's just beating you over the head with how how overt he is.
02:18:54.000Have you seen this in country and and some of these other artists where suddenly they're just like they're just putting more liberal stuff into the like into the mainstream.
02:19:35.000They they're they're forcing the hick lib on us, and not only that, but they're doing it on YouTube as well.
02:19:41.000And a while back, I I was able to find that the State Department was working with like the ADL and YouTube to fund uh this new algorithmic program where they were actually funneling people into hick libs and hick lib content and channels where they would say, Yeah, I like guns, I like the second amendment, but yeah, I could pull it up in two seconds.
02:21:15.000Why is the media, all the influencers, why are they so gay?
02:21:19.000Uh we're seeing we're we're seeing with the news of the house fire in South Carolina, and the immediate reaction was it's because she was against Trump.
02:21:56.000Um, they do happen, and they have found no evidence to support a what they call a quote, a free fire pre-fire explosion, no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set.
02:22:07.000I certainly hope everyone um is okay, but people were blaming Harmeet Dylan um because Harmeat Dylan had uh you know called out um this judge and you know, and and and talked about this in the past, and they just said no, no evidence.
02:22:25.000Yeah, and basically the real question is what's the proper solution to all this?
02:22:28.000How do we actually bring about a change that tells these broadcast networks, these major influence peddlers out there that enough is enough.
02:22:36.000We don't want to hear their narrative 10 seconds after something comes out when it's completely off base.
02:22:43.000I mean, look, there's different ways to to go about this.
02:22:46.000I mean, uh obviously part of it is is not listening, but you know, I I've got to say one of the big ones that I've seen uh that I've and and really support is what Elon Musk uh was doing last week, and and then Cash Patel and others with their direct targeting of these fake institutions and smear factories like the SPLC.
02:23:05.000Yes, and the SPLC has existed for years.
02:23:08.000Uh, you know, perhaps it was started under best intentions, Alabama again, by the way.
02:23:13.000And and and and yet for some by the by the way, let me let me ask you that question.
02:23:17.000So so you know, we got this organization, they've been inciting violence all over the country.
02:23:22.000Alabama's a pretty red state last time I checked.
02:23:24.000Why won't the why hasn't the Alabama AG opened up an investigation into them?
02:23:29.000That that's an excellent question, J. Cowardice.
02:23:31.000You'll have to ask uh the AG about that.
02:23:34.000But by the way, and I'm um and I'm gonna be serious about this for a second because this is something that Charlie and I talked about.
02:23:39.000And and Charlie had tweeted about it in the past.
02:23:42.000You know, they sit there in a massively red state, they're right at the center, they call it the poverty palace, and we couldn't even get an investigation into their obviously uh fraudulent and corrupt uh scam fund scams, the fundraising, the misappropriation of funds, the misuse of donated funds.
02:23:59.000I mean, uh every rule in the book they would break, and yet not even a subpoena.
02:24:04.000Nothing, nothing, nothing so so to answer the the caller's question, answer uh Duke, you know, I think you've got to go a step beyond that because look, we have the First Amendment, and we're not gonna we're not gonna break the First Amendment, but these organizations that are behind it, those are the ones you put the pressure on.
02:25:36.000And I'm what I'm afraid of is we are very fastly careening towards a very vi what will be a very viral video of one of these twerk shitheads threatening to kill the wrong person and either reaching for a pocket or going to pull something out of their pocket, and then that person just failure drilling them and dropping them on the ground, dead.
02:26:11.000And and by the way, uh, and I'll just say this, you know, after seeing what happened to Charlie, every single time I watch one of these videos when I see Nick Shirley or Nick Sorter or Katie Daviscourt, who's my colleague from Postmillennial, or just any of them that are out there putting themselves in harm's way like this,
02:26:30.000it it it is kind of it's it's uncomfortable for me to watch this because I'm constant, just as you said, I'm constantly waiting for that one where suddenly, you know, something rings out or somebody reaches for something and they go down.
02:26:48.000Gotta keep putting ourselves in harm's way.
02:26:50.000I mean, you did it when you joined the Navy.
02:26:51.000Uh that's what I told my nephew when he said, I don't want you to run.
02:26:55.000I said, It's important to do is it's important to put yourself in harm's way.
02:27:00.000Because if no one else steps up, we're gonna lose what we believe in the most and cherish the most.
02:27:11.000You can do it smartly, but that that's that's um and I believe Charlie did it smartly.
02:27:17.000No, he did, and there were some issues there that will be coming out uh you know in due time uh from the local police and campus, and that's all gonna be coming out.
02:27:26.000I admire I admire people who put who put themselves forward and who are willing to take that risk and who are willing to step out.
02:28:15.000Oh, but I've the question I'm really asking is like I'm not so concerned about the major personalities, but if it happens, it's just gonna be a video of a regular person.
02:28:26.000And it's just gonna be the wrong person somebody messes with.
02:28:30.000That'll be have a at this point a reasonable fear for their life for this many people have been killed.
02:28:38.000And I genuinely kind of worry about it, and what I worry most about it is that the reaction will just be they fucked around and found out.
02:28:49.000I was just gonna say we we've what we already know, yeah.
02:28:51.000We already know what what'll happen because this happened five years ago, and it was called Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
02:28:58.000And we saw how he defended himself deftly three times in a row uh from people who are trying in succession to murder a murderous ru mob, a literal murderous mob was chasing him through the streets of Kenosha.
02:29:13.000The FBI had a plane flying overhead conducting video surveillance of all of this that they didn't release, so I released it uh uh on the you know on the eve of of Kyle's trial, and he was charged.
02:29:29.000And so unfortunately, as much as I hate to say it, depending on the locality, especially if it's in one of these blue states, blue cities like Chicago or Portland, that person will definitely be charged.
02:29:39.000Uh, I will certainly do everything in my power to New York.
02:29:42.000Uh yeah, uh Daniel Penny and in New York.
02:29:44.000So I'll certainly do everything in my power to uh support and uh uh tell the truth and spread awareness about whatever happens in this situation, if of course it is uh truly a self-defense situation.
02:29:56.000But but again, that it would just be it would be another Kyle Rittenhouse.
02:29:59.000And and by the way, I don't want that.
02:30:02.000That's why I do support the president of the United States saying, look, if this has gotten too far out of control, the appropriate response is to call in the National Guard, and it's simply that.
02:30:12.000Yeah, I mean laws have to be enforced.
02:32:16.000Uh my question is I'm trying to get him to take like maybe a year or two to go to college and study uh for his as so he'd be ready for his as vab so he can be in to Intel, because I don't think he's gonna come out of high school know what he knows now.
02:32:37.000Uh I just I don't think he's gonna score high enough.
02:32:41.000So has he has he has he taken any of the has he taken a practice as VAP yet?
02:32:48.000Okay, I mean look, they they they want to hire they want you know you want as high as possible as you you can get on your ASVAP to get intel, that's for sure.
02:32:55.000Um and if and if he's not ready, he's not ready.
02:32:58.000And that being said, if he wants intel, which you know, I I I got obviously through through, you know, I was I went enlisted first, but then I went officer.
02:33:07.000And you know, it's it's you you really need that high as VAP score coming.
02:33:12.000I think it's 89 or above, at least when I joined it was something like that.
02:33:15.000Uh probab could be higher now if it's a little bit more selective.
02:33:19.000Um when I was going in, uh they had bonuses too for Intel.
02:33:22.000So I got a uh $19,000 bonus uh for joining when I did um and and going the Intel route.
02:33:29.000Now you only get that on the upon the completion of boot camp.
02:33:31.000So you have to go all the way through.
02:33:33.000You have to commit, you have to sign the contract, you have to complete boot camp, then you get it.
02:33:36.000Um look, I I think they're both great.
02:33:38.000You know, if his if his heart set on Navy, you know, obviously I'm gonna say go Navy.
02:33:43.000Um there are there are different jobs that you can do in the army.
02:33:47.000So if he's looking at more human intelligence, that's you know, the army has a more robust program there.
02:33:52.000But as far as everything else goes, um, you know, Navy's, you know, I I'm just gonna say it.
02:33:56.000I think Navy's got a better global footprint.
02:33:58.000Um that's because of the nature of our operations being as worldwide as they are.
02:34:03.000Um, but you're you're gonna be plugged in directly to same uh communication suites, etc.
02:34:08.000So yeah, that being said, you know, when it comes to the scores, I would I would suggest and I would highly recommend getting those scores up and and because here's what the recruiter's gonna do.
02:34:19.000The recruiter's gonna say, Well, you know, we got this other job that's it's just as good, and we can get you in right now, and they that recruiter will try all the pressure tactics, and that's probably what's going on right now, isn't it?
02:34:30.000Jack, are you saying that a recruiter might lie?
02:34:40.000So if I can get him to go for uh like a semester, two semesters, four semesters, whatever.
02:34:47.000Uh community college, does that matter?
02:34:50.000Like what are some of the topics or what are some of the things that he should be uh classes or whatever that he should be taking to try to bump it that would bump his ass back.
02:35:01.000If he was just like just taking classes, not even trying to to get a g degree or anything.
02:35:06.000Yeah, I mean, if you really focused on that, I I mean, by the way, there's there's plenty of online courses as well.
02:35:12.000There's um uh there's there's uh stuff you can do to do prep for this.
02:35:16.000Um uh math and English are gonna be your you know your two sweet spots in terms of just those are the core competencies that you really need to to complete the test.
02:35:24.000Um so focusing on core high school math and uh core high school English, but at the same time taking that test, it's timed.
02:35:33.000So now I know there's a the timing is different from when I did it, but at the same time, you need to get used to taking that test under pressure.
02:35:41.000And when I was going to, you know, prior to taking the test myself, um, I was giving myself practice tests multiple times a day, not just to work on my um, you know, test taking ability, but also my speed.
02:35:53.000Because once I could identify the question, identify which formula I needed for that, you know, that specific portion of it.
02:36:00.000The the amount of time that I could reduce in my decision making led to more time that I'd be able to focus on the test.
02:36:10.000But yeah, really it just it's it's core math and core English that uh that are really gonna put you over the top there or put him over the top, I should say.
02:36:54.000And by the way, tell your son just just as a last piece, you know, I love that he wants to serve.
02:36:58.000I love the energy, but remember, as we say in the Navy, choose your rate, choose your fate.
02:37:04.000So, you know, the minute he signs on that dotted line, you are sending your your you're selling your your life away to the USG, and uh and that recruiter is not gonna be with you the minute he drops you off at MEPS.
02:37:34.000Start right and you will be on a a path that you know, look, you get an intelligence and you know, you could make it a career for the rest of your life, or you know, you could stop about halfway through and and start doing podcasts like I did.
02:38:59.000Uh whenever I get, you know, I get a lot of people in high school, you know, they say, hey, I'm looking to join the military, what do I do?
02:39:05.000I really do try to take time with those guys because nobody ever did for me.
02:39:08.000And I did everything uh Bass Accords, as they say.
02:40:01.000Oh, I've done very young, you know, the very very young sailors, which is heartbreaking.
02:40:07.000Um it's never easy to, you know, that speech and that flag when you hand it over on a knee, thanking them on behalf of the United States and the Grateful Nation.
02:40:18.000Um that's a that's one of the toughest things I've ever done.
02:40:22.000Um, but it is uh it's it's a brotherhood, and uh I mean to include women too, but it's a brotherhood of people who serve, and it's especially meaningful.
02:40:46.000All right, so my question my question's this.
02:40:49.000Because Tim had a segment at 12 p.m. today about the Jay Jonas thing.
02:40:53.000Uh he's saying something along the lines of the more scared that the middle gets, the more right that they're gonna vote.
02:41:01.000Why are we not assuming that the left is intentionally ramping up more fear and terror in the country as a way to threaten people into saying, like, hey, you vote for us, we're gonna make all this go away.
02:41:19.000They're openly saying that they're doing that.
02:41:21.000There are leftists that say things like, Look, you know, I we talked about it earlier on IRL tonight.
02:41:26.000Um, you know, there are there are people that are saying we need conservatives to to be in fear for their lives, so they will vote so they will tell their leaders to um to tone it down.
02:41:39.000And this same very same streamer that I'm talking about, he said that if you didn't want Charlie Kirk to be dead, you shouldn't have voted for Donald Trump.
02:41:48.000So I mean, it's literally openly terroristic threats, right?
02:41:51.000These are he's openly endorsing terrorism.
02:41:53.000I was sitting right there when he said it.
02:42:07.000Um, so so yeah, I mean, to that point, I you know, I I think that uh I think that that the left already is in a position where they are you know endorsing terrorism and you know, whether whether it be about like you you mentioned uh whatever uh Jay Jones or whatever his name is, um he's completely comfortable with threatening uh or with the idea of of conservatives dying.
02:42:32.000Uh obviously, you know, Charlie was assassinated.
02:42:35.000There were two attempts on the president's life just last year and leading up to the to the election.
02:42:40.000I mean, the the idea that this isn't the the modus operandi currently of the left, I think that that's you know that's that's an error in in in thinking, or at least not really looking at the the conditions that we're living in right now.
02:42:55.000And as for Tim's argument today about um frightened people, he was he made he made the remark about um you know it's it's the economy stupid, which generally is true, but when you're in a context where people are afraid for their safety, that does trump the economy.
02:43:12.000And I do think Tim's right about that.
02:43:14.000Um I don't know that the average person is going to feel like they are in danger or like it's an existential threat.
02:43:23.000Um but if the if the conditions on the ground change and and there is a ramping up of political violence and people feel like they are actually in danger, then it's possible that that the right wins a big you know has a big victory in in the midterms.
02:43:40.000Generally, that's not what happens because Donald Trump is is you know a Republican and he won the presidency.
02:43:46.000And historically, the the administration that's in power, usually the up the opposition wins in the uh in the midterms.
02:43:54.000Um I'm hopeful that that doesn't happen because you know that the the House will, you know, draw up articles of impeachment.
02:44:02.000They've already tried in this, you know, in this presidency, right?
02:44:20.000But that doesn't mean that should the Republican or should the Democrats take the house, that doesn't mean that they won't do it immediately.
02:44:28.000Like that is something you can guarantee.
02:44:30.000So I mean, I I do hope the the conservatives win.
02:44:35.000You know, I would love to see it, but I don't I don't hope that the conditions in the United States deteriorate to the point where it is likely that the conservatives win because people are afraid.
02:45:00.000You're gonna see the left come out in in Virginia and yes, in New Jersey, where there's also the gubernatorial race.
02:45:06.000Very close governor's race in New Jersey.
02:45:08.000Um, I think it might be uh heading out there this uh weekend, actually, to participate in that that one big rally that's coming up in Wildwood.
02:45:15.000And it's it's gonna drive out people on both sides.
02:45:20.000Well, you're exactly right in 2020, we saw that blackmail before.
02:45:23.000I mean, the cities burned all summer before that election.
02:45:26.000It was an election year, and it was a a riotous summer, and there was the under current of well, if if Trump had won, they would have burned down and he did win, I think.
02:45:40.000But they would have burned down America.
02:45:42.000I if if if the uh the if Hunter's laptop if it had that not had that not been suppressed the way that it was, I think that he would have won on the nation's oldest newspaper founded by Alexander Hamas.
02:45:55.000Yeah, I think that he would have won on merit and and not because the the context of the 2020 uh election was was just so novel, you know, the way that they were distributed mail-in votes.
02:46:09.000And even if you don't believe that and my friends are like, oh, well, Morgan, you know, do you really believe I do uh I believe the election was rigged because I was a member, I I grew up as a member of the media, right?
02:46:19.000That was my first career to see the free press suppressed by big tech by every other.
02:46:25.000I mean, the Washington Post have have they apologized for calling it Russian disinformation, the laptop story.
02:47:02.000You're not going to threaten violence.
02:47:03.000You're not going to shut down speech you don't like.
02:47:05.000You're not going to violate people's rights as were uh delineated exactly their civil rights and also uh their rights as delineated by the bill of rights.
02:47:16.000Or you say actually you can go ahead and do all of those things and we're gonna stand back and let it happen.
02:47:20.000That's a really big piece of this equation is that when they engage in acts of terroristic violence, it's not like they're all brave people who and I'm not saying this would make them brave, but they're not these self-sacrificing heroes who are fine going to jail for the cause.
02:47:35.000They know they're not gonna get in trouble.
02:47:37.000They go for easy targets, they go for people who won't hit them back, they go for people who aren't gonna hurt them, and they have the entire legal system on their side.
02:47:45.000I mean, it like we were discussing earlier in a blue city, in my own blue city, you can you know be guilty of attempted murder and walk free.
02:48:11.000Um I do have kind of a funny story though.
02:48:14.000There's there's this county line, and on one side you have Cook County and then the other side you have another county, um, where there are actual laws that are enforced, and there's this this cop who kind of worked around that territory, and when he would pick people up, they would ask, am I am I in Cook or am I in DuPage?
02:48:52.000Uh well, I mean, Jack mentioned Jersey and I'm born and raised there, so I guess um only last shout-out I'd have is just get out there and vote for governor's race.
