Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Hit By NEW INDICTMENT As Jack Smith Attempts To BYPASS SCOTUS w-Anya Parampil | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 Honestly, I can't say that I'm surprised, but Jack Smith has filed a superseding indictment

00:00:21.000 against Donald Trump in the January 6 case in an attempt to bypass the Supreme Court's

00:00:26.000 ruling on presidential immunity.

00:00:29.000 He's also appealing the Mar-a-Lago case dismissal.

00:00:34.000 This is...

00:00:35.000 Just in your face.

00:00:37.000 Trump has been indicted again.

00:00:39.000 New indictments, basically the same thing.

00:00:40.000 They just carved some things out so they can try and get past SCOTUS.

00:00:44.000 This is absolutely insane.

00:00:47.000 So we will be talking about that.

00:00:49.000 But we got some good news, and that is that Donald Trump has named RFK Jr.

00:00:52.000 and Tulsi Gabbard to his transition team.

00:00:54.000 That's great.

00:00:55.000 I hope that more moderate individuals join his ranks.

00:00:58.000 And we get some better assurances moving into a potential next administration.

00:01:03.000 And then in funnier news, Kamala Harris has agreed to do an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, as long as Tim Walz is there with her.

00:01:10.000 So basically, she can't sit down alone with anybody, otherwise she'll look really bad and she knows it.

00:01:15.000 But we'll talk about that, too.

00:01:17.000 And Donald Trump has agreed to the debate on September 10th.

00:01:19.000 Should be interesting.

00:01:20.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to casprew.com and buy Casprew Coffee.

00:01:24.000 It is the best coffee.

00:01:25.000 And Appalachian Nights is back in stock.

00:01:27.000 You guys, you love it so much, you buy it, you buy too much.

00:01:30.000 Okay?

00:01:30.000 You buy too much, but it's okay.

00:01:32.000 Buy more.

00:01:33.000 And you can also get to rise with Alberto Jr.

00:01:35.000 We've got Ian's Graphene Dream, which is, people keep hitting us up saying they love it.

00:01:39.000 That's great.

00:01:40.000 I'm glad to hear it.

00:01:48.000 With your memberships, we are able to make this company run and operate.

00:01:52.000 And I'll stress this too.

00:01:54.000 We don't do, like there's a lot of podcasts do ad reads in the middle of their show.

00:01:59.000 When we are live, we do not do that.

00:02:02.000 For this, we forego a lot of money.

00:02:04.000 However, I'm hoping that memberships are a better way of doing this, because you as members basically give us a guaranteed income and an ability to budget, but also it makes for a better show.

00:02:16.000 So we basically have two choices.

00:02:17.000 We do ad reads during the show, which I hate doing and don't want to do, Or we just go for memberships.

00:02:22.000 So I hope that you guys appreciate what we do and consider becoming a member, because so long as you guys do become members, we don't have to go the traditional sponsor route, which I wouldn't want to do anyway, but you know.

00:02:56.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we got Anya Parampil. 0.99

00:03:00.000 Hi, Tim.

00:03:01.000 Hey, who are you?

00:03:02.000 What do you do?

00:03:03.000 Well, I'm a journalist with the Gray Zone.

00:03:05.000 You've had a couple of my colleagues on, Max Blumenthal, Aaron Maté, and I recently published a book called Corporate Coup, Venezuela and the End of U.S.

00:03:14.000 Empire.

00:03:14.000 You want to hold it up?

00:03:15.000 Sure.

00:03:16.000 I was happy with how the cover turned out.

00:03:18.000 I like the art.

00:03:20.000 So there it is.

00:03:21.000 And it is compiling some of my reporting on Latin America, particularly Venezuela, over the last few years and analyzing U.S.

00:03:30.000 regime change policy and kind of how it's blowing back against our interests as Americans, including now on the border.

00:03:37.000 So I hope that by putting it out there, maybe somebody in Washington will start acting like an adult when it comes to our foreign policy.

00:03:46.000 But I'm not hopeful.

00:03:47.000 I'm not hopeful.

00:03:48.000 Yeah, me neither.

00:03:49.000 Well, we'll see, we'll see.

00:03:50.000 We've got a lot to talk about, so it should be fun.

00:03:51.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:03:52.000 Happy to be here.

00:03:53.000 Libby is hanging out.

00:03:54.000 I'm Libby, I'm hanging out.

00:03:55.000 I'm Libby Emmons with the Postmillennial.

00:03:57.000 Glad to be here.

00:03:58.000 I'm glad you're both here.

00:03:58.000 I'm Hannah-Claire Bremlow.

00:03:59.000 I'm a writer for SCNR.com, Skinner News.

00:04:01.000 Follow them at TimCastNewsOnTheInternet.

00:04:03.000 Let's get started.

00:04:04.000 Here's the big breaking story from the post-millennial.

00:04:06.000 Jack Smith files superseding indictment against Trump in January 6th case.

00:04:11.000 That's right, ladies and gentlemen.

00:04:12.000 A guy who was already ruled to have no authority to bring one case against Donald Trump, now because of the Supreme Court ...saying that the president has immunity as it pertains to official duties.

00:04:23.000 Jack Smith has filed a superseding indictment against Trump, basically bypassing or attempting to bypass the SCOTUS ruling.

00:04:30.000 This is insane.

00:04:32.000 Postman Hill reports, a Washington, D.C.

00:04:34.000 grand jury on Tuesday returned a superseding indictment in the January 6th case against Trump, charging him with the same four counts he had been charged with over one year prior by a different grand jury.

00:04:44.000 The 36-page suit proceeding indictment charges Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an attempt, obstruction of, and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

00:04:58.000 In a court filing, special counsel Jack Smith, his office wrote, Holy crap, they even admit this is what they're doing and why they're doing it.

00:05:04.000 that had not previously heard evidence in this case and reflects the government's efforts to

00:05:08.000 respect and implement the Supreme Court's holdings and remand instructions in Trump v.

00:05:13.000 United States. Holy crap. They even admit this is what they're doing and why they're doing it. 0.93

00:05:18.000 Instead of acknowledging, maybe we can't bring these charges against Trump, it's,

00:05:23.000 no, because of what they said, we respect that and we're going to charge him again.

00:05:26.000 Mm-hmm. Yeah. They even said the defendant had no official responsibilities related to

00:05:30.000 the certification proceeding, but he did have a personal interest as a candidate being named

00:05:35.000 the winner of the election.

00:05:36.000 So that's how they say that, you know, the immunity ruling doesn't apply here.

00:05:41.000 I mean, you have Jack Smith, right?

00:05:42.000 You have one job, which is to get Trump.

00:05:44.000 So I guess if you have nothing else to do with your time, of course, you would try again.

00:05:47.000 You don't want to be a failure at this, you know, terrible, terrible position you found yourself in.

00:05:52.000 Yeah.

00:05:52.000 And it's really an example of writing the rules kind of as you go along, because the Supreme Court, according to the civics lesson I got as a kid, is supposed to be the highest court in the land.

00:06:04.000 And for me as an American, I just feel like it's very depressing that our democracy is just being, it's been made into a joke.

00:06:11.000 I think this is the kind of news that Democratic insiders or liberals sitting in coastal cities across the country get really giddy about when they hear they're like, ooh, they're going after him.

00:06:21.000 But the rest of the world honestly looks at us like as if we've taken all of those ideals

00:06:29.000 that we preach and ripped it up, lit it on fire.

00:06:32.000 And it definitely makes it seem as though we have no leg to stand on when it comes to

00:06:38.000 one of the major issues that I'm interested in, which is regime change.

00:06:42.000 We constantly are running around the world saying that these other countries are undemocratic

00:06:46.000 or not abiding by the rights and ideals that we hold true.

00:06:51.000 And now it just shows the rest of the world, demonstrates the rest of the world that we

00:06:54.000 have no authority to speak on those issues.

00:06:57.000 You've actually put me in a good mood about this now.

00:06:59.000 Because you're right.

00:07:00.000 Around the world, the U.S.

00:07:02.000 is like, we have to remove Assad from power.

00:07:05.000 It's our responsibility to be involved in all of these wars.

00:07:08.000 Ukraine, we have to send all of our money and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars.

00:07:12.000 Oh boy, better send all our money to Israel next. 0.99

00:07:14.000 And now, all these other countries are just like, yeah, the U.S.

00:07:17.000 is full of it.

00:07:17.000 Yeah.

00:07:18.000 And so look, they, you know, I certainly think it's a smear on the reputation of a country that is reputation is so smeared, it's hard to see what it used to be. 0.98

00:07:28.000 But at least the military industrial complex and the warmongers can no longer pretend, except to their cult members who will just keep waving the flag and voting for their garbage.

00:07:40.000 Yeah, and on the issue of just how the world's looking at us, I actually, I put in the afterword of my book when the Stormy Daniels indictment came down, I think it was Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, tweeted, like, the U.S.

00:07:56.000 cannot talk about the weaponization of the judicial system or dictatorships abroad anymore.

00:08:02.000 And it's weird.

00:08:03.000 Think about being, you know, in any country around the world, you're looking at the U.S.

00:08:06.000 and thinking, The first U.S.

00:08:09.000 president to be indicted on any charges period is Donald Trump, before we went after George W. Bush or any of the other major actual criminals.

00:08:18.000 And George W. Bush, basically his administration lied to the United Nations about weapons in Iraq in order to start a war there.

00:08:27.000 You don't get prosecuted for that?

00:08:29.000 When did the criminal conspiracy take over?

00:08:35.000 The United States wasn't always being ruled by interventionist warmongers, but I have to imagine it was sometime after World War II.

00:08:43.000 You think?

00:08:44.000 Liberal economic order, the Council on Foreign Relations talks about how after World War II, European allies in the United States decided that we're going to create a global structure for how we make everything operate.

00:08:56.000 And since then, it's just been like, well, we don't need to declare war anymore.

00:08:59.000 We're just going to go do it.

00:09:01.000 Yeah, I mean, that happened too with, what was it, with Desert Storm, and the Congress was basically like, oh, go ahead, President, do whatever you want.

00:09:10.000 And then you had the Patriot Act, and you had this continuous ceding of the people's authority and power to the executive branch.

00:09:17.000 Right.

00:09:17.000 The expansion of the federal government is probably the biggest factor in all of this.

00:09:21.000 Yeah, all of these bloated agencies.

00:09:23.000 Right.

00:09:23.000 And it's the justification of, well, they have an obligation.

00:09:26.000 I refer to this a lot, but the Secretary of State of Maine, when she said, I'm not going to put Trump on the ballot because I have an obligation to the country.

00:09:32.000 Ma'am, you're in charge of Maine.

00:09:34.000 And Trump at that point had not been convicted of anything.

00:09:36.000 It was real overreach of time.

00:09:37.000 She was teaming up with Colorado.

00:09:39.000 Right.

00:09:39.000 Trying to do that.

00:09:40.000 Which, of course, that effort in Colorado was led by a not-for-profit out of D.C.

00:09:44.000 that hated Trump.

00:09:45.000 That D.C.

00:09:46.000 nonprofit has led these efforts in multiple states.

00:09:49.000 It's interesting, and I know you live in D.C., but it's interesting that the expansion of the federal government and the supporting economy in D.C.

00:09:57.000 is really what's sort of colluding to keep these movements in motion.

00:10:01.000 How about we look into Loudoun County, Virginia and what the average job there is.

00:10:07.000 I think there's probably some jurisdictions of the planet that have very, very, very high net worth.

00:10:14.000 But I think on average, Loudoun County has the highest in the world.

00:10:17.000 I could be wrong.

00:10:19.000 I mean, maybe Macau or something or Hong Kong.

00:10:21.000 But in the United States, Loudoun County has the highest median income.

00:10:25.000 So again, you go to Malibu and you might find ultra wealthy individuals, but there's a lot

00:10:28.000 of day laborers and a lot of, you know, like regular people.

00:10:32.000 There's more of a gradient in terms of...

00:10:34.000 Yeah, a gradient.

00:10:35.000 Loudoun County, everyone, average.

00:10:36.000 Yeah, it's Loudoun County.

00:10:37.000 That is...

00:10:38.000 Yeah, it's like 150,000 per family.

00:10:39.000 Yeah, and I think it's followed by Falls Church, Virginia.

00:10:43.000 Yep.

00:10:44.000 There's also Arlington County, Virginia.

00:10:45.000 I wonder what these people do.

00:10:47.000 Stafford County, Fairfax County.

00:10:49.000 I mean, Virginia has a lot.

00:10:51.000 And you know, it's interesting, I would assume that a lot of these people are the ones that

00:10:57.000 are cheering on the indictment of Donald Trump.

00:10:59.000 Absolutely.

00:11:00.000 I passed through here, Loudoun County on the way, it was all Harris Wall signs.

00:11:04.000 But you'd be surprised, actually.

00:11:05.000 It's not so cut and dry.

00:11:08.000 There are a lot of people in Loudoun County across the board who are moderates, who are sick of what the establishment Uniparty has been doing.

00:11:18.000 And, you know, look.

00:11:21.000 The neocons and the neoliberals, the Democratic Party, they formed their unholy alliance because of people like Donald Trump.

00:11:28.000 Bernie Sanders joined them, so that's unfortunate.

00:11:31.000 But there are a lot of people out here that I'm—they're fans, and we're 30 seconds away from Loudoun County.

00:11:37.000 So we show up and, you know, you'd be surprised that the people who live here, but I'd have to imagine a lot of them are lobbyists.

00:11:37.000 Yeah.

00:11:44.000 A lot of them represent, you know, military interests and things like that, intervention.

00:11:48.000 Well, Northern Virginia, from what I know about it, really developed because of the expansion of the federal government.

00:11:54.000 And again, the economy that goes with that, meaning lobbyists or different special interest groups that are headquartered in D.C.

00:11:58.000 because it's commutable.

00:11:59.000 Yeah, and I think, you know, maybe that's not horrible, right?

00:12:02.000 Rural states need some kind of expansion of jobs.

00:12:05.000 On the other hand, if you have a concentration of elite people who suddenly all think the same way, I can only imagine that someone in that group is going to say, well, we really know what's best for the country.

00:12:16.000 Yeah, I think that it also depends on what exactly is driving that expansion.

00:12:21.000 It's clear if you drive through Northern Virginia now that it's the military-industrial complex.

00:12:27.000 My husband always calls it the necro-economy.

00:12:29.000 That's basically what it is.

00:12:31.000 You just see one military contractor or spying But to your original question of when all this began, I sometimes think that it was actually first 1913 establishment of the Federal Reserve handing our country over to a banking cartel that then got us involved in World War I. I think that was the inception of that unipolar global world that was then born through the process of World War II.

00:12:56.000 I think if the U.S.

00:12:57.000 hadn't intervened in World War I and hadn't, you know, sacrificed an entire generation of Americans, the entire graduating class of Princeton basically died fighting that war for France and Britain when I thought we actually fought a war to be independent from Europe.

00:13:11.000 I think that whole, that network of, and that idea that the United States is tied to Europe somehow in this transatlantic relationship that came through, yeah, first the creation of the Fed and then World War I, that's really when The promise of the United States, I think, fell apart.

00:13:28.000 I was thinking that.

00:13:29.000 Ian's not here, so I'm going to say this next bit in honor of him.

00:13:34.000 But when you mentioned the necro-economy, I love that because DC is a swamp.

00:13:40.000 Literally, it's a swamp.

00:13:41.000 And for those that play Magic the Gathering, swamps represent necromancy and evil.

00:13:46.000 And I think it's just fitting.

00:13:47.000 I wonder if the people who made that game were like, what kind of terrain could we use to represent evil, malice, and death, and profiting off death?

00:13:54.000 Just like in The NeverEnding Story.

00:13:55.000 It's like, I don't know, DC does that.

00:13:57.000 What's DC?

00:13:58.000 Swamp?

00:13:58.000 Yeah, we'll do swamps.

00:13:59.000 Yeah, let's do that.

00:14:00.000 There you go.

00:14:01.000 Let me pull this up from Nicole Shannon, too, because she made a statement on the indictment.

00:14:04.000 This was a great statement.

00:14:06.000 Shannon says, I'll admit I used to kind of roll my eyes when people claimed that President Trump was being persecuted.

00:14:12.000 I was looking at it through the distorted filter of the media.

00:14:14.000 Well, I just completed my first cross-examination of our second New York ballot access case, where the DNC-aligned PAC attorneys questioned me like a criminal.

00:14:24.000 Okay, I get it now.

00:14:25.000 Our justice system is clearly being co-opted and abused by nefarious people with malevolent political agendas.

00:14:31.000 and then she posted the clip where they bring up the indictment against Donald Trump.

00:14:36.000 We do have major breaking news.

00:14:37.000 Special Counsel Jack Smith has just filed a superseding indictment in the federal election

00:14:42.000 interference case against the former president Donald Trump.

00:14:44.000 Let's go straight to CNN's Caitlin Polanski. 0.81

00:14:46.000 Caitlin, we don't need to hear what you have to say. 1.00

00:14:47.000 CNN, you're garbage. 0.98

00:14:48.000 But Nicole Shanahan and many other moderates and former Democrats are now realizing that there is a criminal element within our government. 0.99

00:14:56.000 Mark Zuckerberg the other day admitted that the FBI and the Harris-Biden administrations at the White House were pressuring him to censor.

00:15:06.000 And the funny thing is, If you know the news and you break it down, you understand what Mark Zuckerberg is really saying, though he doesn't want to admit it.

00:15:14.000 He says, the FBI came to us and said there was going to be some misinformation about Biden and Burisma.

00:15:18.000 You know, we should keep a lookout for it.

00:15:20.000 So when the Hunter Biden laptop story popped up, we censored that.

00:15:23.000 The reality is criminal elements of the federal government went to Mark Zuckerberg and said, do not let people expose our criminal actions.

00:15:33.000 And he said, you got it, boss.

00:15:35.000 That's what really happened.

00:15:36.000 And at that point people were in this amnesia.

00:15:39.000 Mark Zuckerberg may have actually been buying the story that it was a fake Russia propaganda.

00:15:46.000 That was just absurd, especially now that the Hunter Biden indictment itself confirmed that the laptop story was real.

00:15:54.000 It does feel a lot of I've never seen actually U.S.

00:15:57.000 politics exposed as such a show or theater before.

00:16:01.000 That's really how it feels to me.

00:16:02.000 And on the Jack Smith issue, I just think it's outrageous that CNN would never mention the fact, for example, that his wife actually works as a documentary filmmaker who made the whole documentary about becoming Michelle on Netflix.

00:16:17.000 She's like basically a propagandist for the Obama family and the Democratic Party.

00:16:22.000 And her husband is the one overseeing this operation to now usurp our Supreme Court to weaponize the judicial system against a former sitting president.

00:16:32.000 Who made the Obama documentary?

00:16:34.000 Jackson's wife.

00:16:35.000 What?

00:16:35.000 Really?

00:16:36.000 Yeah.

00:16:36.000 That's crazy.

00:16:37.000 What?

00:16:37.000 Yeah, you can look up her name.

00:16:39.000 It's something like Kate I can send a link also over... I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:16:46.000 Yeah, I was listening to that and I was like, I don't know about that.

00:16:48.000 Katie Chevigne?

00:16:49.000 Yeah.

00:16:50.000 No way.

00:16:51.000 Is that for real?

00:16:52.000 She's like a hardcore Democratic Party... Operative, sounds like. 1.00

00:16:56.000 Media producer.

00:16:56.000 Producer, yeah.

00:16:57.000 Becoming.

00:16:58.000 It's called Becoming.

00:16:59.000 Yeah, for some reason that was what Michelle decided to call her memoir.

00:17:03.000 Wow.

00:17:04.000 What are you trying to say there?

00:17:08.000 Nothing.

00:17:11.000 Yeah, Trump's special counsel's wife worked on an Obama film and donated to Biden.

00:17:15.000 This is a two-year-old story.

00:17:16.000 How did I not see this?

00:17:17.000 Can you imagine if the tables were turned?

00:17:21.000 I mean, we don't have a Netflix production company dedicated to producing pro-Trump propaganda in U.S.

00:17:30.000 media.

00:17:31.000 It just doesn't happen.

00:17:32.000 If that were possible and there was a judicial official or a Wow.

00:17:37.000 That's fascinating.

00:17:40.000 I don't think CNN can tell the difference, though.

00:17:48.000 I think they are past the point of the logic there.

00:17:50.000 Like the Caitlin Collins and Bill Maher the other day, it was pretty clear.

00:17:54.000 Yeah, I think obviously they would say if it was happening to someone else, they would see it.

00:17:59.000 But I don't think they're aware of their own bias.

00:18:01.000 I don't think they could tell you why it's an obvious conflict of interest for special counsel Jack Smith, who's currently going after Trump, to be married to someone who is actively donating and supporting the legacy of one of the leading Democrats in the party.

00:18:15.000 I mean, I think they really believe that that's OK because that's how much they hate Trump.

00:18:20.000 It's so illogical.

00:18:21.000 I'm still laughing about becoming Yeah, they also think that they're objective.

00:18:25.000 They actually think that.

00:18:26.000 So when it turns out that Kamala Harris' best friend who introduced her to her husband is the head of ABC, and that's the only network she's willing to debate on, like nobody bats an eye at that.

00:18:39.000 For some reason, everyone thinks that's totally okay.

00:18:41.000 And when you have Pete Buttigieg and all the others coming out and saying, You know, don't debate on Fox, don't do interviews on Fox, because they're too biased.

00:18:48.000 But somehow ABC is this breath of fresh air or something?

00:18:53.000 It's weird, too, because you can only name one, right?

00:18:53.000 It's absurd.

00:18:55.000 It's Fox.

00:18:56.000 I mean, I know Newsmax is out there.

00:18:58.000 There is actually really just the one.

00:19:00.000 It's just the one, and then all the conservatives can be like, well, CNN and MSNBC and NBC, and yet only Fox is the enemy here.

00:19:07.000 And Fox is limited.

00:19:08.000 I mean, look who they've gotten rid of in recent years to be what they are.

00:19:12.000 Let's jump to the story from the Post Millennial.

00:19:14.000 Trump says Jack Smith engaging in election interference with new grand jury indictment in J6 case.

00:19:20.000 Quote, the illegally appointed special counsel deranged Jack Smith has brought a ridiculous new indictment against me.

00:19:27.000 Which is all the problems of the old indictment, and should be dismissed immediately.

00:19:31.000 Now, connected to the story is Jack Smith appealing the dismissal of Mar-a-Lago C's documents case.

00:19:38.000 The gist of it here is, the courts ruled that he was illegally appointed, is that correct?

00:19:43.000 Yeah, well, they didn't rule that.

00:19:44.000 The Supreme Court didn't rule that.

00:19:45.000 But Clarence Thomas, Justice Thomas said in his concurrence on the immunity ruling that he thought Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed.

00:19:54.000 And this resulted in, was it Judge Cannon?

00:19:57.000 Judge Eileen Cannon.

00:19:58.000 Yeah.

00:19:58.000 Trump appointed judge in Florida dismissing the case entirely.

00:20:01.000 And it is an absurd case.

00:20:03.000 I mean, the classified documents case is ridiculous on its face.

00:20:05.000 They even brought fake evidence.

00:20:07.000 They staged photos.

00:20:09.000 That's right.

00:20:10.000 It was evidence tampering.

00:20:11.000 So the simple version is Trump had a bunch of documents scatter shot in a bunch of random boxes.

00:20:16.000 They pulled them out, found them, laid them on the ground and put confidential stuff on top of them.

00:20:21.000 So it looked like Trump had all these folders that said Top Secret on them.

00:20:24.000 They put on those cover sheets.

00:20:26.000 They put on those cover sheets.

00:20:28.000 And then they scattered it around and they were like, Nick Fuentes was in Mar-a-Lago.

00:20:32.000 This person's in Mar-a-Lago.

00:20:33.000 They're going to get the documents.

00:20:34.000 These were just in Melania's closet.

00:20:36.000 It's like, why are you rifling through her closet?

00:20:38.000 There wasn't even anything in there.

00:20:40.000 Yeah.

00:20:40.000 They just know she has great taste.

00:20:41.000 They want to see what she has.

00:20:42.000 The other thing is, where's the Biden investigation?

00:20:46.000 Why is Jack Smith only caught up on Trump if he cares so much about classified documents?

00:20:51.000 Why doesn't he go after- They had a special counsel for Biden and he ruled that he was a sympathetic old man who would never be convicted by a jury because he was just too kind and dotty and old.

00:21:02.000 We didn't get pictures of the Biden garage where their documents were stashed, did we?

00:21:07.000 Nope.

00:21:07.000 I love the document story, though, because one thing that I do think gets overlooked in it is what the documents were.

00:21:13.000 And there is a freak out in blob media, such as the Washington Post, for example.

00:21:18.000 Did you call it blob?

00:21:20.000 Yeah, I like that.

00:21:21.000 Another word for the swamp, I guess.

00:21:24.000 They're obsessed by the fact that Trump apparently had information about an ally's secretive nuclear program.

00:21:32.000 Couldn't tell you which ally that would be, or I would like to know personally why Trump had that document.

00:21:37.000 It kind of makes me feel like he had it to protect himself from something.

00:21:41.000 I'm not sure what.

00:21:42.000 Or, again, it depends on who this ally with the secret nuclear program is.

00:21:46.000 But another issue on that, it was just stunning to me once I was watching CNN, Jake Tapper was interviewing the former Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, and asking him, like, why do you think it's so bad that Donald Trump would have these documents lying around?

00:22:02.000 And Esper said, actually, that it would prevent the United States He said this from executing a successful strike on Iran.

00:22:10.000 He's like, there could be logistics documents about our plans to... Well, excuse me, are we going to war with Iran?

00:22:17.000 That's news to me.

00:22:18.000 Apparently, Mark Esper was privy to some information or some plans that...

00:22:23.000 That haven't been made public, haven't been discussed in Congress, which is supposed to be the authority that declares war.

00:22:28.000 We've had a couple of people pass through here recently who believed that Kamala Harris's election would be bad for Israel and that they would cut a deal with Iran.

00:22:37.000 And I'm just like, I think that's ridiculous.

00:22:40.000 They are literally the deep state military industrial complex.

00:22:43.000 They are going to redouble their efforts and they're going to try to exacerbate the conflict so they can get the war with Iran. 0.80

00:22:48.000 And Donald Trump, I don't think he's even perfect on the issue either, but I think the principal conflict that the deep state had with Trump is that he wanted to get our troops out of the Middle East.

00:22:58.000 Not perfectly, but he tried getting our troops out of Syria.

00:23:00.000 He set a deadline for withdrawal from Afghanistan.

00:23:02.000 They lost their minds over that and I think that was the principal catalyst that set them off to try and destroy him.

00:23:08.000 Yeah, and having dialogue with other world leaders such as Putin.

00:23:12.000 I mean, I went to the Trump-Putin summit at the time I was working for RT, which was super fun because we were at the center of the conspiracy to elect Trump, you may recall.

00:23:22.000 And it was, for me, incredible actually to witness a U.S.

00:23:26.000 president acting like a statesman and sitting down with a powerful leader of another powerful country and supposedly acting in good faith.

00:23:37.000 And I later interviewed the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia who was involved in those negotiations and he told me that they agreed on so much in Helsinki at that time that then just got completely, he said that we were shocked when a few months later Trump withdrew from the INF Treaty.

00:23:53.000 Went along with all the things that John Bolton wrote in his memoir he advised Trump to do.

00:23:58.000 And it just, it really does demonstrate that I do think Trump tried, but that the president is up against a lot more than we realize.

00:24:06.000 And it's even more than Bolton and Pompeo and these characters.

00:24:09.000 Do you know the one time the media praised Donald Trump as presidential?

00:24:13.000 When?

00:24:14.000 Any guesses?

00:24:15.000 I can't remember.

00:24:18.000 I feel like you had a guess.

00:24:21.000 When he withdrew?

00:24:22.000 No, no, no, no.

00:24:23.000 Oh, no, and he bombed Syria, of course, of course. 0.73

00:24:27.000 And Brian Williams said we were guided by the beauty of our weapons.

00:24:30.000 Yeah, I remember that, yeah.

00:24:32.000 Trump fired 59 Tomahawk missiles into Syria, and then all of a sudden the media was like, is this Trump's presidential moment?

00:24:38.000 Is he stepping up? 0.98

00:24:39.000 And I'm like, holy crap. 0.98

00:24:41.000 Yeah, stepping up by using all of the weapons. 0.97

00:24:44.000 They complain in the Democrat media industrial complex about, say, the pipes in Flint.

00:24:52.000 And I got a simple solution.

00:24:53.000 Hey, those missiles they fired, how about that money that goes to building all of those?

00:24:57.000 We like, you know, fix the pipes.

00:24:58.000 Doesn't that win for everybody?

00:25:00.000 But that's never the game.

00:25:01.000 And it's because they don't want to solve these problems.

00:25:04.000 And this is true for a lot of the pro-lifers who are anti-Trump saying, oh, Trump's not.

00:25:07.000 No, they want to maintain the problem.

00:25:09.000 So that they can keep making money off of it.

00:25:11.000 We even had one of the guys from the Freedom Caucus, I can't remember who it was, said that they had the ability to end Obamacare and leadership came to him, this is a Republican, said, do not vote to end Obamacare because we need the wedge issue to raise money.

00:25:25.000 Oh, that's terrible.

00:25:26.000 This is what the machine is and always has been for, and I won't say always, but has been for probably, yeah, since 1913.

00:25:32.000 And abortion definitely is used in that way because I remember when the Supreme Court ruling came down, my immediate thought was this is almost like a gift to the Democrats to keep the one issue that they have alive.

00:25:43.000 One issue that they also had a chance to resolve but they won't because they just want to keep pitting us against each other and it's like Americans are just in a pinball machine and we just deserve so much better.

00:25:52.000 You know the Planned Parenthood pact was like yes when the Roe thing came through, right? 0.75

00:25:57.000 Because they have so much to do now and they can fear monger like there's no tomorrow.

00:26:01.000 I mean this is what's been fascinating about the abortion issue is, you know, everyone could then go to their states and battle it out instead.

00:26:08.000 Pro-abortion groups, especially Planned Parenthood, can look around and say, your life is about to end.

00:26:13.000 Did you know that everything you hold sacred is about to be ruined and just make so much money off of it?

00:26:18.000 Well, that's what happened with the Human Rights Campaign and other groups that were advocating for gay marriage.

00:26:23.000 When they got gay marriage, when Obergefell went through, they didn't have anything to fundraise on.

00:26:28.000 And that's when they really started pushing all of the trans stuff. 0.93

00:26:31.000 Because they were like, oh, let's come up with this new issue so we don't have to give up our half a million dollar a year not-for-profit jobs, you know, in nice buildings in D.C.

00:26:40.000 And now we have the transing of American kids simply so that these, not simply, but like in large part for the fundraising efforts.

00:26:50.000 And it's Human Right Watch that issues those travel advisories, right?

00:26:53.000 Yeah, those are funny, aren't they?

00:26:55.000 Every couple, especially during the summer, they'll release these, you guys probably know it, but they'll release these lists where they're like, you can't go to Georgia. 0.93

00:27:01.000 It hates trans people. 1.00

00:27:02.000 Don't go there. 0.99

00:27:03.000 It's bizarre.

00:27:04.000 It's this really intense fear-based fundraising.

00:27:08.000 There are a lot of Democrats who genuinely are terrified to go into a rural area.

00:27:13.000 They really do think that everyone's wearing MAGA hats and they have guns and they're going to attack you.

00:27:19.000 For real.

00:27:20.000 I can't remember what the story was.

00:27:22.000 I think it was a man on the street.

00:27:24.000 Where people were asking about crime in big cities and the response from these liberals were like, oh yeah, well, all these conservatives are complaining about the cities, but I'm fine here.

00:27:31.000 But, you know, if we were to go there, what they would do to us?

00:27:34.000 And, you know, if a black person went to a white rural area, I'm like, none of that is true at all.

00:27:40.000 You drive anywhere and nobody cares.

00:27:42.000 Everybody leaves you alone.

00:27:44.000 You could be in full drag and go into rural Nebraska and walk into a supermarket and then they're going to be like, howdy.

00:27:51.000 And you're going to buy food and they're going to be like, kay.

00:27:52.000 And they're going to be like, I don't know, whatever, I don't care. 0.54

00:27:55.000 And you have these coastal elite groups thinking that the entire rest of the country is backwards and homophobic and racist.

00:27:55.000 That's true.

00:28:01.000 And you, I dare you to walk into a Walmart anywhere in this entire nation without seeing some white grandma with like a bunch of like biracial grandbabies perfectly happy buying everybody a bunch of Legos and stuff. 1.00

00:28:12.000 You know what I mean?

00:28:13.000 Like that's the country.

00:28:14.000 The country is very well... The politics don't reflect that.

00:28:18.000 I'm glad you brought up Walmart because Bentonville, Arkansas, is having this huge population boom because of Walmart's building.

00:28:24.000 That's the headquarters of Walmart.

00:28:26.000 Right, and they're expanding it, so they're bringing a lot of people in.

00:28:27.000 They have a Walmart- They're having babies? 0.94

00:28:29.000 I watched this interview with this girl who is like, you know, I lived in New York and I lived in D.C.

00:28:33.000 and then I was in Miami and they offered me this job and I really didn't want to go because, you know, I thought it was going to be, you know, backwards and conservative.

00:28:39.000 And now she's like, I love it here!

00:28:41.000 It's great!

00:28:42.000 Which, you know, of course locals are like, well, they're bringing their own values, but there really is this, like, Kind of overstated fear of rural America, I think, especially in 2024.

00:28:53.000 And then you get there and everyone likes it, you know?

00:28:55.000 And I just think that there's so much of the internal anxiety that left-leaning people, like both just people who live their lives, not super political, but and voters create for themselves that makes it unable to

00:29:09.000 tell the difference.

00:29:10.000 That's why I mentioned with CNN, like, I don't, I really don't believe that they can tell the

00:29:13.000 difference between what is biased in their favor versus what is just bad, fearful, anti-conservative.

00:29:20.000 I think it also sort of reflects how sort of subtly racist the Northeast is,

00:29:26.000 where so many of these values originate and where I grew up.

00:29:30.000 There's a lot of segregation.

00:29:31.000 There is a lot of like, you know, what is it?

00:29:35.000 The racism of low expectations.

00:29:37.000 That's a thing.

00:29:38.000 There's not like a ton of mixing between groups.

00:29:42.000 And then in the rest of the country there is.

00:29:44.000 And like in New York and Boston and Philadelphia and New Jersey and all these places where I lived, it's very separate.

00:29:51.000 And it's separate within the universities.

00:29:53.000 It's separate within academia.

00:29:54.000 The higher up you go, the more separate it becomes.

00:29:58.000 A really good example or circumstance that explains a lot of the wokeness is, do you remember when there was that media campaign about the talk that black parents give to their children? 0.84

00:30:07.000 Yes, I remember that so well.

00:30:09.000 And it was created by white liberals from upper class areas who...

00:30:14.000 are isolated from the rest of reality.

00:30:16.000 And felt guilty.

00:30:17.000 Well, because the talk isn't unique to black families in this country.

00:30:22.000 When I was a kid, my white father, we had the talk.

00:30:24.000 He said, son, what do you do if you get pulled over?

00:30:26.000 You got to put both your hands on the steering wheel.

00:30:28.000 You got to take your keys and your wallet.

00:30:29.000 You put them up on top of the dash.

00:30:30.000 You turn the light on.

00:30:31.000 You turn the car off.

00:30:31.000 You turn the radio off.

00:30:32.000 You put your, you roll your window down.

00:30:33.000 You put your hands on the wheel.

00:30:35.000 He sees your hands.

00:30:35.000 The cop walks up.

00:30:36.000 You say, my wallet's right there.

00:30:37.000 You can grab it and hand it to him.

00:30:39.000 And this is how you're supposed to react.

00:30:42.000 They started acting like this was only black families that had to have these conversations, because the people who run these campaigns, the people who exist in these political circles, are from white wealthy enclaves that don't actually have to deal with any of this stuff.

00:30:56.000 Their crime rates are low, so they don't understand policy, they don't understand how to alleviate crime, they don't understand how to maintain a city, and then when they get in trouble, They're in smaller scale communities where their wealthy parents call the city and take care of it.

00:31:09.000 So they go, wow, this is how it must be for all white people everywhere. 0.74

00:31:14.000 Meanwhile, in almost every other place, white poor people go through a lot of these same problems as literally anybody else.

00:31:21.000 But this is the isolation that leads them to creating these, I call them awful policies, affluent white female liberal policies. 1.00

00:31:28.000 Well, when I lived in Brooklyn with my son when he was little, we had to talk about how to talk to cops in the park, which was like, if a cop tells you to do something, just do it.

00:31:37.000 Keep your hands free.

00:31:39.000 Don't ever have a toy gun in the park.

00:31:41.000 Not a water gun.

00:31:42.000 Nothing.

00:31:43.000 You know what I mean?

00:31:45.000 So yeah, all parents tell their kids how to deal with authority figures that have guns.

00:31:51.000 But then there's Governor Kathy Hochul of New York who says that inner-city black students don't know what a computer is.

00:31:56.000 I mean, the obvious discrepancy between that should just – I think it really captures what a lot of elite Democrats are experiencing every day, which is they have no idea. 0.97

00:32:07.000 That Kathy Hochul thing was ridiculous. 0.93

00:32:09.000 Wasn't that crazy? 0.96

00:32:10.000 Yeah, and I think she'll just keep her office, right?

00:32:10.000 It was so offensive.

00:32:13.000 She believes it!

00:32:14.000 She believed it, and then her office was like, no, she didn't really mean it.

00:32:19.000 And then you had all of these, like, black kids from the Bronx on TikTok making jokes about Kathy Hochul being like, like, sniffing the computer. 0.85

00:32:26.000 I don't know.

00:32:26.000 What is that?

00:32:26.000 The guy, he's like, he's punching the laptop.

00:32:28.000 That's amazing.

00:32:28.000 And like, scared of it.

00:32:29.000 Yeah.

00:32:30.000 Then, I think one of the best videos ever on this issue is Ami Horowitz's voter ID video, where he went to Berkeley and asked a bunch of white college students if it was racist to have voter ID, and they're all like, yeah, you know, because black people don't know how to get IDs. 0.53

00:32:44.000 This is what Kamala Harris said. 0.76

00:32:45.000 And he goes to Harlem and the Bronx and New York, and they're like, huh?

00:32:48.000 Like, yeah, I got an ID.

00:32:49.000 What do you mean?

00:32:50.000 And he's like, well, they said you didn't know how to do it.

00:32:51.000 He's like, what are you talking about?

00:32:53.000 All of them had one. 0.96

00:32:54.000 That is one of the oddest talking points because, yeah, it does really belittle black people.

00:32:59.000 There's a simple solution, too.

00:33:01.000 If that were true, then the solution should be get people IDs. 0.51

00:33:04.000 Go on a campaign to do that instead of saying that you can't have a basic voter ID law in place.

00:33:10.000 Because as someone who's covered elections or observed elections in other countries that are being actively undermined by the United States, Can I read to you guys what Kamala Harris said about voter IDs?

00:33:21.000 of the fact that they have to present IDs and go through this arduous process

00:33:25.000 to vote because they say that it makes their system very secure or and and here

00:33:30.000 I am like what if I told you that in the United States we can't get people IDs

00:33:35.000 it's it's very bizarre. Can I read to you guys what Kamala Harris said about voter

00:33:38.000 IDs? Oh yeah. I don't think that we should underestimate what that compromise on 0.88

00:33:44.000 voter ID laws could mean Harris said.

00:33:46.000 Because in some people's mind, that means you're going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove who you are.

00:33:52.000 Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who don't.

00:33:56.000 There's no Kinko's.

00:33:57.000 There's no OfficeMax near them.

00:33:59.000 Of course, people have to prove who they are, but not in a way that makes it almost impossible for them to prove who they are.

00:34:05.000 So you don't have to prove who you are.

00:34:07.000 That's the solution?

00:34:08.000 Yeah, so because poor people can't get to a photocopy machine to send in their ID.

00:34:12.000 It's probably at their local library.

00:34:13.000 I got a simple solution.

00:34:14.000 Only landowners can do it. 0.99

00:34:19.000 That solves all the problems, because now it doesn't matter.

00:34:22.000 You know, look, I'm thinking about, what about back in the day when we didn't have IDs?

00:34:25.000 How did we do it then?

00:34:26.000 Simple.

00:34:26.000 You had a land deed.

00:34:27.000 Right.

00:34:28.000 And so you just, you know, show your land deed and you're good.

00:34:30.000 Is that the idea?

00:34:31.000 No.

00:34:33.000 Back then, when landowners were the ones who were voting, you needed to prove you owned land.

00:34:37.000 There has always been a requirement that you prove you are a member of the community.

00:34:42.000 I agree.

00:34:43.000 We should not make it so that only landowners vote, because now we live in a society where there are renters.

00:34:48.000 Not everybody wants to buy a plot of land. Plots of land are very expensive, and there's a lot of people.

00:34:51.000 So you need an ID to prove that you're a member of the community, and your address on the ID

00:34:56.000 should reflect the jurisdiction that you are voting in. So if you're voting for a congressional

00:35:00.000 district, but your ID says you live somewhere else, you can't vote. Sorry, bye, have a nice day.

00:35:04.000 I think that makes sense. I mean, I think that...

00:35:06.000 That's because you're bigoted.

00:35:08.000 Yeah, it's because obviously I'm a terrible person.

00:35:10.000 But I used to be opposed to voter ID laws, and then the more I got involved in looking at it, I was like, it's actually not a problem.

00:35:18.000 I repeated those talking points without thinking.

00:35:21.000 Right, isn't that funny?

00:35:22.000 And what changed your mind?

00:35:23.000 Yeah, what changed my mind?

00:35:25.000 A couple things changed my mind.

00:35:27.000 One, just voting more.

00:35:30.000 And then another thing was the situation with illegal immigration and people just automatically being registered to vote.

00:35:38.000 So like the motor voter laws, that seems kind of crazy that you just automatically get registered to vote because then you're not taking any real responsibility for it.

00:35:47.000 And I think that if you have to You know, own your opportunity to vote and own your duty to elect representatives.

00:35:55.000 You might determine that you should be a little better informed.

00:36:00.000 I thought that made sense to me.

00:36:02.000 Let's jump to this next story.

00:36:04.000 Once again, from the post-millennial, we've got big news, ladies and gentlemen.

00:36:07.000 Kamala Harris has agreed to finally do an interview!

00:36:11.000 And this is such big news, because Kamala Harris has not given one, at all, so that the moment she decides to actually just talk to the press, it apparently is headline news.

00:36:19.000 I'm not kidding.

00:36:20.000 It's not just the post-millennial that wrote this breaking.

00:36:23.000 It's being picked up, it's trending, everyone's like, wow!

00:36:26.000 But guess what?

00:36:27.000 Tim Walz will be with her, and it's going to be with Dana Bash.

00:36:33.000 You know, part of me wants to say softball interview, but that's not fair at all.

00:36:37.000 It's going to be more like t-ball.

00:36:39.000 It's going to be more like powerpuff.

00:36:41.000 Powderpuff.

00:36:42.000 What's powderpuff?

00:36:43.000 Powderpuff.

00:36:43.000 Like, they're going to chuck little cotton balls at her and she's going to be like, woo!

00:36:48.000 Cotton balls! 1.00

00:36:49.000 Well, she's probably going to rely on her... It's not even the same realm as baseball.

00:36:52.000 No, I don't think there's any baseball going on here.

00:36:54.000 They're going to give her the questions in advance.

00:36:56.000 It's not even table tennis, you know?

00:36:58.000 It's just a photo op where she stands with the bat and pretends she did something.

00:37:01.000 Meanwhile, her security blanket slash emotional support dog, Tim Walz, is there.

00:37:06.000 You should get like a little harness and then they're part of the BDSM community. 1.00

00:37:11.000 I'm sure that would help them.

00:37:14.000 You know the thing is the last time she did an interview was late June and she appeared with a Kentucky-based pro-abortion advocate who later appeared at the DNC.

00:37:25.000 She has a really sad story.

00:37:26.000 She was attacked by her stepdad.

00:37:28.000 It's really bad.

00:37:30.000 Even then, that was the last time we heard from Kamala Harris in an interview setting like this, and she wasn't alone.

00:37:35.000 You would think, you know, this person who wants to be president is going to appear solo, but she won't do that.

00:37:40.000 That's how much she respects her voters. 1.00

00:37:42.000 She'd rather put her own sense of emotional security first.

00:37:45.000 Not only a person, but according to their logic, she's a strong woman of color who apparently can't do an interview without a white man sitting next to her. 1.00

00:37:53.000 I mean, that's how they see the world, right?

00:37:55.000 How does it look for them to be promoting this woman as a great leader and a woman of color, and yet...

00:38:01.000 Yet she can't do an interview alone.

00:38:04.000 It's honestly insulting.

00:38:05.000 That's a good point. 0.80

00:38:06.000 I'm glad she's so pro-white men. 0.98

00:38:08.000 Maybe that's good for the country.

00:38:09.000 I think it's so weird that she's showing up with Tim Walz.

00:38:12.000 And her husband is probably going to be there too.

00:38:14.000 Well, he's going to be in the green room, of course.

00:38:16.000 He's going to be ready with a bag of Doritos, like any good man would be backstage, you know?

00:38:21.000 But yeah, I really think that it's sad that she needs someone to come hold her hand, that she needs someone to be there with her, that she can't show up and speak to this reporter who's already You were mentioning how ABC is hosting the debate and it's seen as this great victory even though there are all of these interests behind the scenes that are obviously very political involved at ABC.

00:38:42.000 something much worse.

00:38:43.000 I didn't say it.

00:38:46.000 You were mentioning how ABC is hosting the debate and it's seen as this great victory

00:38:50.000 even though there are all of these interests behind the scenes that are obviously very

00:38:54.000 political involved at ABC.

00:38:57.000 Dana Bash is someone that I feel like doesn't get talked about enough, but you know, I like

00:39:00.000 talked about enough, but you know, I like to watch CNN a lot actually because it's where

00:39:01.000 to watch CNN a lot actually because it's where I feel like I can see the political theater

00:39:03.000 I feel like I can see the political theater being rehearsed.

00:39:06.000 being rehearsed.

00:39:06.000 That's like Steve Bannon says, watch MSNBC.

00:39:07.000 That's like Steve Bannon says, watch MSNBC.

00:39:08.000 Yeah, you really, I learned when I worked in a TV studio when I had all of the mainstream

00:39:14.000 media playing that you could kind of see where things were going just based on watching them.

00:39:19.000 But Dana Bash, I know you broadcast a lot, Tim, but she's up there.

00:39:23.000 I think she might give you a run for your money. 1.00

00:39:25.000 She's always on CNN.

00:39:27.000 I don't know what else she does with her life, but she's also someone who was married to 0.64

00:39:31.000 the former chief of staff of the CIA.

00:39:34.000 That's where she, you know, Dana Schwartz is her name, but she took BASH. 1.00

00:39:38.000 And it's very, you know, it goes back to this idea that there's a big family in the media.

00:39:44.000 An incestuous relationship between the government and the media.

00:39:47.000 Yeah.

00:39:48.000 And all you have to do is watch Dana BASH to see that she doesn't even hide her allegiance to just the deepest core of the U.S.

00:39:55.000 security state.

00:39:56.000 This is crazy.

00:39:57.000 It seems like the Internet is what broke that machine.

00:40:02.000 For the longest time, intelligence agents are former or and current and their families are working in corporate media.

00:40:10.000 What was it?

00:40:11.000 It wasn't mock.

00:40:12.000 No, it wasn't.

00:40:13.000 Was it Mockingbird?

00:40:14.000 What was the Mockingbird where the intelligence agencies?

00:40:17.000 Right.

00:40:18.000 And that was the which which what was the name of the hearings where that was uncovered?

00:40:24.000 Church?

00:40:25.000 No, I don't remember.

00:40:26.000 Church Commission?

00:40:26.000 Was it?

00:40:27.000 I don't know.

00:40:28.000 Anyway, long story short.

00:40:31.000 It's fascinating that once we got to the internet era and independent shows were able to emerge that started rivaling or even beating the quality of these programs, the narrative's breaking.

00:40:43.000 Donald Trump's victory in 2016 was not supposed to happen.

00:40:47.000 The deep state was caught off guard.

00:40:49.000 It's fascinating.

00:40:52.000 They were gargling their own waste in the media.

00:40:56.000 Hillary Clinton has a 99% chance of winning as they were patting each other on the back and going ho ho ho with their pinkies out. 1.00

00:41:01.000 And then Trump won!

00:41:02.000 And they were like, it's impossible.

00:41:04.000 The only explanation is Trump's a Russian spy.

00:41:06.000 That explains it.

00:41:07.000 Well, and then that totally undermined his foreign policy for his entire presidency.

00:41:12.000 It was by design because he'd already laid out that he wanted to shake things up and take on the established foreign policy, you know, the blob, as actually that term came from Obama's former chief of staff or National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes.

00:41:28.000 He actually called it the blob because he was part of it.

00:41:31.000 And yeah, Trump obviously ran on taking that on, and so they planted the seeds of Russiagate, just in case.

00:41:37.000 And I do think it wasn't just a domestic political play.

00:41:41.000 It was to undermine his genuine attempts at diplomacy and good faith outreach to the world that I think are the aspects of the Trump presidency that should be commended the most.

00:41:52.000 Like, I just don't understand why we can't have a president who wants to talk to the world and just make deals instead of Yeah.

00:42:01.000 And in Guns Round.

00:42:02.000 So, we are change in the chat.

00:42:03.000 Luke Rudkowski says, it was the church committee in 1975.

00:42:06.000 We got a super chat saying, Luke is screaming right now.

00:42:09.000 Well, Luke has every opportunity to come and hang out on the show and set the record straight on all of these things whenever he feels like it, so.

00:42:16.000 But yeah, church committee hearings.

00:42:18.000 So we kind of got that.

00:42:19.000 MKUltra was uncovered under that.

00:42:20.000 I think COINTELPRO was in that as well, as well as Mockingbird.

00:42:24.000 Yeah, COINTELPRO.

00:42:25.000 Sometimes it feels like we talk about those programs as if they were something that happened in the past and were exposed.

00:42:31.000 And then they stopped.

00:42:32.000 Yeah, you got to look around and wonder.

00:42:34.000 Yo, like, if you're a millennial, your parents were alive when this stuff was going on.

00:42:39.000 Like your parents were, I don't know, probably teenagers or actually young adults.

00:42:44.000 So this is very recent history.

00:42:46.000 And I love that meme where it's like, well, we know the CIA did bad things in the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s and 2000s.

00:42:52.000 There's been no reforms.

00:42:53.000 Nothing has changed, but they certainly aren't doing anything bad now.

00:42:56.000 Yeah.

00:42:56.000 What are they doing now?

00:42:58.000 Yeah.

00:42:58.000 We don't know.

00:42:59.000 Oh, no, no, no.

00:43:01.000 I think we know what they're doing now.

00:43:03.000 What are they doing now? 0.94

00:43:03.000 We don't know everything they're doing, but one thing I'd say is they're involved in perhaps like the indictment against Donald Trump, or how about the two impeachments against him, which are also ridiculous and insane. 0.94

00:43:15.000 I'd have to imagine that it's not just the CIA.

00:43:17.000 What were they accused of recently?

00:43:19.000 Where they came on, they're like, no, no, we have nothing to do with this.

00:43:21.000 We're not involved.

00:43:22.000 Here's a big story.

00:43:23.000 And people were claiming the CIA was involved in some kind of related to this.

00:43:27.000 They claim that they don't do domestic work.

00:43:28.000 It's only against, you know, foreign adversaries or whatever.

00:43:31.000 It might have been J6.

00:43:32.000 I can't remember.

00:43:34.000 Was it just the spying that was happening all throughout?

00:43:39.000 Yeah, I think it was related to activists getting spied on or something.

00:43:41.000 And they said, we only target foreign, you know, individuals or whatever we don't operate with in the United States.

00:43:46.000 Right.

00:43:46.000 But, you know, I'd be willing to bet it's not just that.

00:43:49.000 We know the FBI is deeply involved in helping Joe Biden get elected.

00:43:52.000 Here's my view.

00:43:54.000 Super simple.

00:43:55.000 For the longest time, television media was under the control of, even after the church committee hearings, we know about Mockingbird.

00:44:01.000 We know that they're planting stories.

00:44:04.000 We know that they're actually writing the stories and giving them to journalists that put their names on them.

00:44:07.000 Yeah.

00:44:07.000 And even after 1975, it kept happening.

00:44:10.000 The internet comes around and all of a sudden independent voices, way too many of them, rise up and their narrative starts breaking.

00:44:17.000 Trump wasn't supposed to win.

00:44:19.000 Hillary was supposed to win. 1.00

00:44:20.000 They were caught off guard gargling their own waste.

00:44:23.000 Trump ends up winning and for four years the system is fractured.

00:44:27.000 The narrative machine of the deep state isn't working.

00:44:28.000 The media is trying to lie and it's failing.

00:44:31.000 And now what they did was...

00:44:34.000 Colluding, getting Facebook to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story and the Burisma story.

00:44:38.000 All of these efforts and the shadow campaign, as Time Magazine called it, to make sure Joe Biden won.

00:44:43.000 And he did.

00:44:44.000 And it now looks like they're holding on by a thread.

00:44:48.000 They cannot maintain this.

00:44:49.000 Their psychotic wars are failing.

00:44:52.000 And it looks like Donald Trump is actually going to win.

00:44:55.000 Right.

00:44:55.000 But we'll see.

00:44:56.000 We'll see.

00:44:57.000 Trump has won the argument, especially with RFK Jr.

00:44:59.000 and Tulsi Gabbard.

00:45:01.000 But can he win the actual game?

00:45:04.000 And can he win the vibe game?

00:45:06.000 You know, I mean, this is the thing that's really being pushed.

00:45:09.000 And it takes a lot.

00:45:10.000 I mean, we were just talking about, you know, previously believing things that it turned out to be not true at all.

00:45:18.000 It's hard to break out of a mindset when that's all your friends are saying that, when it's all your family is saying that, when it's everybody at your workplace and that you come into contact with who is saying that.

00:45:29.000 So it's hard for people to think for themselves, which is really a shame, but it is hard for them to do that.

00:45:36.000 And so if those people who can't think for themselves and just go along with what all their friends say, Show up at the ballot box, I don't know if they're offering free mimosas or whatever, then they'll probably vote for Kamala Harris.

00:45:48.000 I think Trump won the vibe game.

00:45:49.000 I think Trump won the vibe game and the argument.

00:45:52.000 He definitely won the argument.

00:45:53.000 He won the argument, no question.

00:45:55.000 Again, especially with RFK Jr.

00:45:57.000 and Tulsi Gabbard, his argument is now we're a big tent party and we're trying to be accommodating and compromising to as many people as we can because we all agree we want to help America.

00:46:05.000 Then you have the vibe.

00:46:07.000 He's laughing.

00:46:08.000 He's having a good time.

00:46:09.000 And people on the street, when you see these men on the street, interviews are saying Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.

00:46:14.000 The question is, whatever the real campaign is to win, are the Republicans, is Trump prepared for that?

00:46:21.000 So voting in the park, universal mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, that's vibe feelings.

00:46:26.000 None of that matters when procedure is against you.

00:46:29.000 The question is, can Trump win procedurally?

00:46:31.000 Yeah.

00:46:32.000 Well, and he needs the RNC to step up and do their job.

00:46:35.000 United States?

00:46:37.000 Yeah.

00:46:38.000 One point I would just make, since we were talking about the Church Committee and learning about how we were even able to learn or confirm what was true about our past, is that that was possible thanks to Frank Church holding these committee hearings.

00:46:51.000 Back then, you know, he was a liberal Democrat who was anti-war.

00:46:55.000 That used to be what the Democratic Party was, but now it's completely flipped.

00:46:59.000 I don't know how that happened.

00:47:00.000 is actually the machine running the wars trying to push us into confrontation with Russia.

00:47:05.000 They've become the neocon party, even gone a complete 180 from my own lifetime when I 0.75

00:47:10.000 thought, you know, growing up that the Democrats were the anti-war party.

00:47:14.000 So it's just, I don't know how that happened.

00:47:16.000 Does anyone else know how that happened?

00:47:18.000 So when Bernie Sanders and it doesn't start here, but with Bernie Sanders trying to lead

00:47:26.000 a populist leftist grassroots revolt in the Democratic Party, Donald Trump led a right

00:47:30.000 wing populist revolt in the Republican Party.

00:47:33.000 Bernie Sanders is, is how would I describe him? 0.99

00:47:38.000 Frightened and weak-willed, and Donald Trump is arrogant and hot-headed. 0.99

00:47:47.000 So you take a look at what happens. 0.97

00:47:48.000 Bernie Sanders at the popular base.

00:47:50.000 I describe it as he shows up to the ivory tower and he knocks on the door and he says, listen, we got all these people behind me and we say I should be president.

00:47:57.000 And then they just dump water on his head.

00:47:59.000 And then he just stands there.

00:48:00.000 Donald Trump walks up and goes, listen, we got all these people you're letting me in.

00:48:04.000 And then they start banging on the door, and they splash water, and Trump goes, don't you splash water on me!

00:48:08.000 And then kicks the door in. 0.95

00:48:09.000 Trump gets pissed, says, F you, no.

00:48:12.000 Bernie Sanders says, please don't hurt me.

00:48:14.000 Please, I'll stop.

00:48:15.000 So what ends up happening is the neocons and the Republican Party lose their minds.

00:48:20.000 All of these conservatives are never Trumpers. 0.97

00:48:21.000 And they're like, no, Trump is awful. 0.90

00:48:22.000 He doesn't represent us. 0.97

00:48:23.000 We don't want him here.

00:48:24.000 We don't want him here.

00:48:24.000 And then Trump wins.

00:48:25.000 And they're like, OK, we have no choice.

00:48:27.000 It's the best we can do.

00:48:28.000 But these are the run-of-the-mill conservatives.

00:48:31.000 The neocon establishment were like, screw that.

00:48:34.000 Hillary Clinton.

00:48:35.000 And so they jump to the Democratic Party.

00:48:38.000 It's why you have Bill Kristol, right?

00:48:40.000 And people like him that are basically, we've got to restore the Republican Party.

00:48:46.000 The Democrats are the closest thing to a warmongering elite that we have.

00:48:50.000 So we're going to work with them for the time being.

00:48:52.000 And you end up with the Democratic Party harboring the neocons.

00:48:56.000 But come on, Hillary Clinton was like, She's a warmonger. 0.53

00:49:00.000 She's the warmonger.

00:49:03.000 We can rag on George W. Bush and all these people, but Hillary Clinton is right up top. 1.00

00:49:07.000 Well, Bush, you kind of get the idea that he wasn't running the show.

00:49:11.000 She was running the show when she was at the State Department. 0.99

00:49:16.000 The ideologically committed Bush was kind of just the idiot son that they put up as cover for Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld and all these other people that were the Hillary Clintons of that administration. 0.98

00:49:26.000 And then Obama himself, I don't know how much he, I mean, I don't even want to talk about him, to be honest. 0.99

00:49:32.000 Obama.

00:49:33.000 That's what they called him, Obama.

00:49:34.000 He's our true king running the show.

00:49:36.000 Behind the scenes, right?

00:49:37.000 He's going to get his fourth term with Kamala.

00:49:39.000 Yep.

00:49:40.000 Yeah, indeed.

00:49:41.000 Why do you think it took him so long to endorse her?

00:49:45.000 the Obama era? Maybe because I mean I think ideally they probably didn't want to run her 0.91

00:49:51.000 but it would have just been too anti-democratic to remove Biden and then Kamala it would have 0.71

00:49:56.000 just exposed the whole sham I mean it or there were those reports that he wasn't going to endorse

00:50:01.000 her for several weeks ostensibly to let her have her moment in the sun but the Clintons endorsed 0.98

00:50:05.000 right away so many other top Democrats did and Michelle and Obama really held out.

00:50:10.000 I mean, I do think that he is ultimately the kingpin for a lot of vibes from the Democratic Party, but it's interesting to me that he doesn't actually seem to like Kamala all that much.

00:50:19.000 Well, haven't you ever, you know, seen a cartoon?

00:50:22.000 The supervillain has lackeys, and the lackeys screw up, but the lackeys never get, you know, fired or kicked out or whatever, you know?

00:50:28.000 The supervillain's henchmen will go and do something, ruin it, and then come back, and the supervillain's just like, well, okay, I guess. 1.00

00:50:34.000 He's like, you imbeciles! 1.00

00:50:35.000 And he bops him on the head. 1.00

00:50:36.000 That's it.

00:50:37.000 Barack Obama didn't want Kamala Harris, but they're just lackeys. 1.00

00:50:41.000 That's it.

00:50:43.000 But the Coons did want her? 0.99

00:50:44.000 No, I think that Obama backed Kamala Harris becoming the nominee.

00:50:49.000 Otherwise she would not be the nominee.

00:50:52.000 And then I think that part of their deal was that they were going to wait a little bit

00:50:57.000 before endorsing her so it didn't look like a coup, even though it did.

00:51:02.000 But instead it just made it look like he was the only high-ranking Democrat that wasn't that interested in her.

00:51:08.000 I don't know.

00:51:08.000 I thought it looked entirely orchestrated because you had, you know, you had endorsement, wait a little bit.

00:51:14.000 Endorsement from somebody else, wait a little bit.

00:51:17.000 Here's a couple more endorsements.

00:51:19.000 Here's Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries talking about it.

00:51:21.000 Now the Obamas are on board.

00:51:23.000 Don't you guys love the Obamas?

00:51:25.000 You remember the Obamas?

00:51:26.000 Now you're on board too because, you know, Barack and Michelle.

00:51:31.000 Yeah, and I think that that was an intentional orchestrated— And it did allow them to control the media cycle.

00:51:36.000 And they controlled it.

00:51:37.000 They did a masterful job of controlling the cycle.

00:51:39.000 I want to jump to this story from the Post Millennial, once again, breaking Trump names Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.

00:51:46.000 to presidential transition team.

00:51:48.000 Quote, as President Trump's broad coalition of supporters and endorsers expands across partisan lines, we are proud that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:51:54.000 and Tulsi Gabbard have been added to the Trump-Vance transition team.

00:51:58.000 Now, here's the reality.

00:52:00.000 Tulsi Gabbard was being set up to be the heir to the Democrats.

00:52:03.000 She is a woman of color.

00:52:06.000 They loved her.

00:52:07.000 She was a member of Congress, and then she betrayed Hillary Clinton for Bernie Sanders, and they lost their minds.

00:52:12.000 RFK Jr.

00:52:14.000 He's a Kennedy, need I say more!

00:52:16.000 And they kept him out because these people don't want to adhere to their weird cult-like ideology or structure.

00:52:25.000 And it's fascinating now that we see this.

00:52:27.000 This is tremendous for Donald Trump.

00:52:29.000 But why is it that the best possible Democrats are Republicans now?

00:52:35.000 I think it's that the parties themselves are a little bit irrelevant once you have Trump at the head of this party, because his values are not the uniparty values.

00:52:44.000 So, you know, Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer may as well be in the same party.

00:52:50.000 I'm going to say something that's unpopular, and I think that there's a lot of benefits to having Tulsi and RFK on his transition team.

00:52:58.000 I think they bring a really interesting perspective.

00:53:00.000 I think it's good for moderate voters undecided, but I do think that there's a chance that some of these appointments make The core MAGA base supporter kind of nervous that the campaign that they were so invested in is changing.

00:53:15.000 And I think part of that has to do with, you know, immigration and some other things.

00:53:19.000 I don't know that it's true.

00:53:20.000 I'm just saying that, you know, it's one thing to have one or two former Democrats.

00:53:24.000 But when you start, if the dyed in the wool, like I am voting MAGA, Trump is who gets me to the polls, voter starts to feel like he is changing too much.

00:53:34.000 I think it will.

00:53:36.000 I don't know.

00:53:36.000 I think they'll still turn over him, but it will create anxiety within his party that could mar the first couple months of his term.

00:53:42.000 I just think that, you know, Trump is relatively moderate on a lot of issues.

00:53:47.000 And so are RFK and Tulsi Gabbard.

00:53:49.000 But I think that this alignment is not even so much about issues or policy, but it's more about worldview.

00:53:57.000 And I think that that's a much more aligning and much more necessary joining than a policy joining.

00:54:06.000 Because what we have now is a Democrat party that looks at the world and says, we want, you know, more abortions, less children.

00:54:14.000 We want to trans our kids.

00:54:16.000 We want everyone to be forced to buy certain kinds of cars.

00:54:19.000 We want everybody to be, you know, forced to buy certain types of foods.

00:54:23.000 We want to control the way you live.

00:54:25.000 We want the government to be your primary partner in life.

00:54:29.000 And then you have, you know, RFK, Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, and a whole heck of a lot of MAGA people who would say, we want government out of our lives.

00:54:37.000 We don't want you to tell us what to do with our kids.

00:54:39.000 We don't want you to tell us what to do with our bodies.

00:54:42.000 That means we don't want you pushing abortion. 0.99

00:54:44.000 We don't want you to tell us what kind of car we get to drive or where we can live or what kind of housing we can live in.

00:54:51.000 So I think it's more of a, you know, pro-government partner in your life worldview, and an anti-government in your life worldview.

00:55:00.000 And that's a much bigger divide.

00:55:02.000 And there's a lot of policies, I think, personally, where I would compromise if it meant everybody just left me the hell alone.

00:55:09.000 So I want to disagree because we had this article from 2019 and it's, you know, here we go.

00:55:16.000 I'll just pull this one up because there's a bunch of different versions of it, but this is Times Republican or Winchester Times.

00:55:22.000 Memo to Trump, trade Bolton for Tulsi.

00:55:24.000 This is July 1st, 2019.

00:55:27.000 Conservatives were calling on Donald Trump to fire Bolton and bring Tulsi Gabbard on because Tulsi was right about foreign policy and Bolton was a maniac.

00:55:37.000 I said back then, Donald Trump needs to bring on Tulsi Gabbard as a national security advisor, or in some way, his administration, and this would help win over many independents.

00:55:48.000 I also said Andrew Yang, because Andrew Yang was very popular among liberal-leaning independent voters.

00:55:53.000 A lot of people say, no, no, he's crazy, he wants to be a socialist.

00:55:56.000 Don't care. 0.77

00:55:58.000 This is not Donald Trump saying he will enact those policies.

00:56:00.000 It's Donald Trump saying, I'm listening to you as well.

00:56:02.000 You are here in the conversation.

00:56:04.000 Vote for me.

00:56:05.000 Bringing on Tulsi, I think, is the right move.

00:56:07.000 And it's late, but I'm happy to see it happening.

00:56:10.000 And I actually think a lot of the MAGA people are going to be happy about it, especially since she's come around on 2A.

00:56:16.000 She's endorsed Donald Trump, and it's a Democrat joining the ranks.

00:56:19.000 This is basically like going to a MAGA voter and saying, you know, you were right the whole time.

00:56:23.000 They're going to go, that's right, I was.

00:56:25.000 I think it's a really good play for Trump politically, I do.

00:56:28.000 I think that it kind of is throwing back to the energy of his 2016 campaign, because for a while it just felt like now the campaign was overtaken by the walls, Kamala fever.

00:56:41.000 I'll say something now that might be controversial, and I know you're going to accuse me of having Israel Derangement Syndrome, but the way that I see it is that I don't totally see them as switching teams.

00:56:52.000 They are all part of the Adelson Money Network.

00:56:54.000 You have Tulsi and RFK Jr.

00:56:56.000 running around with Rabbi Shmuley, the dildo salesman, and pledging allegiance to Israel. 0.80

00:57:03.000 As much as I have supported Tulsi in the past, I was a big RFK Jr.

00:57:08.000 fan actually.

00:57:09.000 I was.

00:57:10.000 But the reasons that I love them is that they were committed to ending forever wars and to issues like free speech in the United States.

00:57:17.000 And for me, all of that, even if you can understand Ukraine and you can You know, understand Syria the way Tulsi did.

00:57:24.000 I just don't get how you remove those issues from the Israel lobby and the fact that they're the greatest threat to free speech in the United States with their anti-BDS laws.

00:57:32.000 You just had NYU now say that you can't say Zionism on campus because that is also considered anti-Semitic and, you know, they've actually criminalized speech around the country.

00:57:43.000 And to see RFK and Tulsi just, you know, pledge allegiance to Israel while— They did, though?

00:57:50.000 Well, RFK, absolutely, and Tulsi, and they repeat the script. 0.54

00:57:54.000 They repeat the script and they say all this stuff about Israel being our great ally.

00:57:57.000 I mean, RFK himself was just doing fundraisers for Rabbi Shmuley's personal security, okay?

00:58:03.000 So that's a little bizarre to me and it just feels like it just discredits their position on war and speech.

00:58:10.000 I wouldn't call any of that Israel Derangement Syndrome.

00:58:13.000 I'll clarify Israel Derangement Syndrome.

00:58:15.000 We had a guy on the show who literally any question that was asked about anything policy-wise was Israel.

00:58:19.000 We had a members-only caller who said, I'm concerned about the fentanyl crisis in West Virginia, and within 30 seconds he was talking about Israel.

00:58:26.000 And I'm like, this is the issue.

00:58:28.000 You know, my thing is anti-intervention.

00:58:31.000 The United States' interests are not in sending out our troops to military bases overseas in every part of the globe and expanding the liberal economic order and nation-building in Afghanistan.

00:58:41.000 Whatever the parasite is that infected the United States, probably in 1913 with the start of the Federal Reserve, has manipulated what this country is supposed to be.

00:58:52.000 I look at the history lessons of the Founding Fathers leading up into the Civil War and the lessons learned at

00:58:56.000 the Civil War and I'm like, wow man, these people were fighting really, really hard and

00:59:00.000 they really just wanted to be left alone.

00:59:02.000 And then at some point we were like, nah, let's go get involved in foreign entanglements,

00:59:05.000 which is weird. And then after World War II especially, we just stopped declaring war and

00:59:11.000 started just doing whatever... I don't even want to say we, the parasite in this country. 0.91

00:59:15.000 Vietnam was like that.

00:59:16.000 Like, all of those later 20th century foreign wars that we got involved in were like that.

00:59:23.000 There was no congressional oversight.

00:59:26.000 And I was so horrified with that, with Desert Storm, right?

00:59:30.000 And with the yellow cake and all of that.

00:59:33.000 And I remember— Or the babies.

00:59:34.000 What was that woman? 1.00

00:59:35.000 She claimed the babies were being killed from— Yeah, the Kuwaiti ambassador's daughter, I think.

00:59:39.000 Right.

00:59:39.000 The babies getting unplugged from England.

00:59:41.000 Which is like actually what happened in Gaza, by the way.

00:59:43.000 Well, and so I was like watching this whole thing and just how Congress gave up its power.

00:59:49.000 And that's something that I think is so frustrating because this is supposed to be the people's representatives.

00:59:54.000 That's the people's house, right? 0.66

00:59:56.000 That's where we get to tell the guy who lives down the street who's representing us in Congress what we think should happen for the benefit of our district and for the benefit of our nation.

01:00:06.000 And they just gave up, not their power, they gave up our power to the executive branch.

01:00:13.000 And I think that they really need to pull that back.

01:00:15.000 And you've seen the executive power just expand and expand and expand, you know, like not just in the 20th century, but you have like George Bush, it got bigger.

01:00:23.000 You know, Obama, it got bigger.

01:00:25.000 You know, Trump, it got bigger.

01:00:27.000 Biden, it got bigger to the point where now with, you know, now you have a situation where They can tell schools, if you don't let boys go into girls' bathrooms, we're not going to give you free lunch aid. 0.69

01:00:39.000 Yeah, that's shocking.

01:00:41.000 So let me just pose this question then, just as a thought experiment.

01:00:45.000 Taking away the legitimacy of the Trump case and the political attacks on him aside, do you think that there's any dangerous precedent with the Supreme Court ruling that it does put the president above the law?

01:00:55.000 It doesn't.

01:00:55.000 Yeah, it doesn't actually.

01:00:58.000 It's crazy.

01:00:58.000 The ruling is the president's official duties are immune because we are asking him to do those duties.

01:01:04.000 If he engages in a behavior as to his official duties that we feel are not part of his official duties, he gets impeached.

01:01:12.000 If he's impeached, he can then be criminally charged.

01:01:14.000 That makes the most sense.

01:01:16.000 If we lived in a system where you could criminally charge the president for anything he did, even under his presidential duties, you would have the weaponization of the system against their political opponents, which is literally what we're seeing.

01:01:28.000 Yeah.

01:01:28.000 That's why the SCOTUS ruling was important.

01:01:30.000 Barack Obama murdered Anwar al-Awlaki and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, two American citizens. 0.88

01:01:35.000 By all means, I'll have a conversation with a neocon or a neolib about why Anwar al-Awlaki was a jihadi waging war against the United States, and he was a traitor.

01:01:45.000 And the argument is still that he needs to have a trial, even if he's not there, that proves to a jury he, as an American citizen, has waged his levied war against the United States and its people, and thus that's a death penalty.

01:01:59.000 Someone is attacking us.

01:02:00.000 Well, Obama didn't do that.

01:02:01.000 He blew him up, and then he blew up his son.

01:02:04.000 Now, I think Barack Obama should be criminally charged for that.

01:02:07.000 That being said, I haven't seen the full court case and the evidence, so what we should do is he should be post-presidency impeachment, which is never going to happen, but this is what should happen.

01:02:18.000 The impeachment is, as president, you are given military options by your Advisors, your lieutenants, your commanders, etc.

01:02:26.000 They would give Barack Obama something that was referred to as the disposition matrix.

01:02:30.000 They called it the kill list.

01:02:33.000 And they would basically give Barack Obama a list of people that looked like baseball cards, folders, and said, which one should we exterminate? 0.99

01:02:40.000 Should we kill? 0.81

01:02:40.000 And Barack Obama signed off on each and every one. 0.81

01:02:44.000 And it involved American citizens.

01:02:45.000 And the Constitution says you can't just go and kill American citizens.

01:02:48.000 He did anyway.

01:02:50.000 But it's still a part of his official duties.

01:02:51.000 I respect that he should be impeached for that.

01:02:54.000 And what would happen now is, an analysis of those actions that happened, this is what, 12 years ago?

01:03:00.000 When, uh, I think it was, was it 12 years ago Abdur Rahman was killed?

01:03:02.000 I, no.

01:03:02.000 2016?

01:03:03.000 No, not- My gosh, 20- oh.

01:03:03.000 Not 2016, I think it was 2012.

01:03:05.000 But- I could be wrong.

01:03:09.000 So we would impeach him.

01:03:11.000 We would have an inquiry.

01:03:12.000 Congress would then look at the evidence and say, we do not find sufficient reason to believe Barack Obama had a legitimate official duty in killing a 16-year-old American citizen in Yemen, a country we are not at war with, and bombing a civilian restaurant.

01:03:26.000 So it wouldn't prevent a criminal charge of a president committing war crimes in the future?

01:03:32.000 jurisdictions with jurisdiction, I should say, or the jurisdictions with standing could then

01:03:36.000 criminally charge Barack Obama, which would include San Diego, Boulder, Colorado, as well

01:03:40.000 as the federal government.

01:03:41.000 So it wouldn't prevent a criminal charge of a president committing war crimes in the future?

01:03:48.000 It just means that...

01:03:50.000 So here's the challenge.

01:03:51.000 Let's say you have a president and an adversary blows up one of our ships in the South China Sea or whatever.

01:03:59.000 We have a ship going near Taiwan and China blows it up.

01:04:02.000 The president responds by sending in a strike group or whatever.

01:04:07.000 Which encounters an unidentified vessel that will not respond to hail, and then it opens fire on the U.S.

01:04:12.000 So he instructs them to blow it up, destroying what turns out to be a Russian vessel that was working alongside China, triggering a response from Russia saying, you jump the gun.

01:04:21.000 Now there's questions about whether it's the official duty of the president to, in a time of emergency after we were attacked, and let's just say like the story is legitimately we were attacked, it's witnessed by everybody, there's videos, unprovoked attack on American vessels, the president issues an immediate reprisal and response against the vessel that attacked us.

01:04:37.000 You can try to impeach him, but I think a reasonable political body says, well look, the president has to make difficult choices.

01:04:43.000 It may have started a war, but this is official duties. 0.99

01:04:45.000 Now let's say the president sends in a vessel and then fakes a military action, bombs itself, And then lies about it, and then claims it was an official duty.

01:04:58.000 We have to have that investigation.

01:04:59.000 Is he actually acting in his official capacity?

01:05:02.000 Turns out he wasn't.

01:05:03.000 Then he's impeached.

01:05:04.000 Then he's convicted, removed from office for war crimes, and then he's criminally charged.

01:05:09.000 The reason why that's important.

01:05:11.000 In the event the president takes a legitimate action in the interest of the United States that was a difficult decision, but a decision that had to be made, he should go to prison for it because a Democrat gets mad he's a Republican, or a Republican mad he's a Democrat.

01:05:22.000 Yeah.

01:05:22.000 No, I guess it then becomes a case about what is presidential duty, and that's what gets debated in the future.

01:05:28.000 Not that I also think that any president's ever going to get prosecuted for something bad that they did.

01:05:32.000 It's only going to be something like... I mean, I would have loved if they would have tried this with Bush, but... Oh, man.

01:05:38.000 Bush... He tortured some folks.

01:05:40.000 All of them.

01:05:41.000 I mean, Obama and Bush.

01:05:43.000 Clinton.

01:05:43.000 I mean, Clinton set the precedent for the Iraq war, right?

01:05:46.000 Bombing Iraq without congressional approval. 0.85

01:05:48.000 The challenge is, for the most part, official duties.

01:05:52.000 We know what they are, but you are right.

01:05:53.000 There's a lot where it gets into this really fine print-esque area where it's like, Well, the president was having a conversation about his personal vehicle, but it was in the Oval Office.

01:06:06.000 Is that part of his official duties?

01:06:08.000 And the argument is, well, his security in a personal vehicle matters, so this conversation is.

01:06:13.000 Someone will say, no, he's talking about private personal finance stuff with someone just because he's in the building doesn't make it.

01:06:18.000 And then you're having that argument and that's where things get messy.

01:06:21.000 The real problem is not whether or not we can impeach and then convict a president.

01:06:26.000 The SCOTUS argument, I'm glad it came down the way it did.

01:06:28.000 The real problem is we don't have a functioning political body.

01:06:31.000 No, we don't. 0.99

01:06:31.000 If we had honest politicians, first of all, the 17th Amendment is garbage. 0.99

01:06:36.000 If we had actual representatives. 0.74

01:06:38.000 Who cared about the facts and wanted to do right by this country and not just partisans trying to fundraise and sound good on the internet.

01:06:45.000 And you had senators who actually cared to represent their states.

01:06:48.000 You would have had Barack Obama impeached first as an impeachment inquiry over the killing of Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki.

01:06:55.000 Then they would argue, in fact, his actions were part of his official duties as president, and for that reason, he cannot be criminally charged for this, unless we impeach him for it.

01:07:08.000 We then find him to be criminally negligent in the murder of Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki, and for that, we find it to be a high crime or misdemeanor.

01:07:17.000 The president, perhaps well-intentioned, used with reckless disregard the might of the U.S.

01:07:23.000 military and blew up a civilian restaurant, killing civilians as well as an American.

01:07:28.000 And he says, it was an accident.

01:07:30.000 I'm sorry, when you're driving down the road and you're reckless and you accidentally kill someone, you do get criminally charged.

01:07:35.000 For that reason, while it was Obama's duty to answer these calls, He acted recklessly and with disregard for human life, particularly of an American, and for that he should be impeached, convicted, removed from office, and then criminally charged for reckless homicide or something to that effect.

01:07:50.000 If we could prove in that trial that Barack Obama said, I'm going to send a message to all jihadis who would wage war on America by killing the son of a terrorist, which I think is what he did, then that's life in prison, that's murder, that's first degree.

01:08:08.000 I believe that Barack Obama killed Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki because he wanted to send a message to jihadis that the United States, and I don't even want to say we, the United States is willing to murder your children wherever they may be.

01:08:19.000 He wanted them to feel that their children would be safe nowhere.

01:08:23.000 We're not at war with Yemen.

01:08:24.000 We have no legal authority for bombing civilian locations in Yemen, and Obama did it anyway.

01:08:28.000 And the argument from the Obama administration was, we were targeting a A different guy, and we accidentally got him.

01:08:38.000 Why did you bomb a civilian restaurant in a country we're not at war with in the first place?

01:08:43.000 And shout out to Luke Rutkowski, We Are Change, who actually was at the DNC, and I can't remember, was it Charlie Gibbs who they asked?

01:08:50.000 I can't remember who it was.

01:08:52.000 He said, well, he should have had a better father.

01:08:54.000 So this was pre-2012, actually.

01:08:56.000 Should have had a better father!

01:08:58.000 That's the justification for Barack Obama bombing a civilian restaurant and killing an American, as well as other civilians?

01:09:05.000 That is nightmarishly illegal, in my opinion.

01:09:08.000 And the man... But now I'm gonna just... I'll hit it out of the park with this one.

01:09:13.000 Not probably the right turn of phrase I'm trying to use, but let's exemplify this to the upteenth degree.

01:09:19.000 After everything I've just explained, the man has faced no justice, not even an inquiry from Congress, not even an impeachment inquiry, and Donald Trump is facing multiple criminal prosecutions for the most absurd and insane things imaginable.

01:09:34.000 The first president to actually get charged, and it's BS, because there are criminal elements in our government that are willing to let evil people do whatever they want, and Donald Trump is I gotta be honest.

01:09:46.000 I think for a lot of these things he was involved in at the federal level, he was bumbling about.

01:09:51.000 I don't mean that disrespectfully.

01:09:53.000 I think they went to him and said, Mr. President, bomb this country.

01:09:55.000 And he was like, we're not doing that.

01:09:57.000 And they were like, no, we're going to do it.

01:09:58.000 He goes, no, you're not.

01:09:59.000 You're not doing that.

01:10:00.000 And they're like, do you not get it, Mr. President?

01:10:02.000 We're the CIA.

01:10:03.000 We're telling you who is going to be targeted.

01:10:06.000 And Trump's like, no, no, no, we're not doing that.

01:10:08.000 And so then they're like, we've got to remove this guy.

01:10:10.000 He's in our way.

01:10:11.000 But what you're missing is that they only prosecute sitting presidents based on lies, not based on the truth.

01:10:18.000 That's it, too.

01:10:19.000 There was recently a very interesting interview that Tucker Carlson did about Watergate with someone who was there at the time.

01:10:26.000 And that seems like a total put up job as well.

01:10:29.000 Seems like it was entirely faked.

01:10:31.000 So let's jump to this so I can stop ranting about why I'm mad at Obama.

01:10:35.000 The Post Millennial reports Kamala adopts another Trump policy.

01:10:38.000 Pledges hundreds of millions to build the wall.

01:10:41.000 I told you she was gonna do this.

01:10:44.000 Bravo to you.

01:10:45.000 This debate is going to be hilarious.

01:10:46.000 So Trump's agreed to the debate.

01:10:48.000 What's it going to be?

01:10:48.000 They're going to be like, former President Trump, you would like to build a wall.

01:10:52.000 And Kamala goes, I want to build a wall.

01:10:54.000 I'm building a wall.

01:10:55.000 And then Trump's going to be like, OK.

01:10:57.000 I'm doing that too.

01:10:58.000 And then she'll be way shorter. 0.99

01:10:59.000 She'll be like, me too, me too.

01:11:01.000 That's why she wanted to sit down at a desk. 0.99

01:11:02.000 You think they'll give her like, you know, either extra high heels or like some telephone books to stand on or something? 0.99

01:11:08.000 This is interesting because I wonder if they are going to request something to level.

01:11:14.000 I think they want her to look shorter.

01:11:16.000 If someone on their campaign is smart enough to be like, no, you want to be shorter because if Trump seems at all aggressive, then everyone's going to be like, oh, he can't be mean to ladies.

01:11:24.000 That's not nice.

01:11:24.000 He can't be mean to that little girl on the stage.

01:11:26.000 That little girl?

01:11:27.000 That was me.

01:11:28.000 I think he should.

01:11:30.000 Is Tim Walz going to be with her on the debate?

01:11:33.000 Behind her, fanning her, cheering her on.

01:11:35.000 With the Doritos, the bags of Doritos.

01:11:37.000 He throws her a bag of Doritos.

01:11:39.000 Right?

01:11:39.000 Or maybe we'll get to see his tuna mayonnaise taco.

01:11:44.000 I'm just surprised, honestly, that, I mean, because usually Democrats are so, that's one of their big issues, right, to demonize Republicans is with immigration.

01:11:54.000 So why do you think she's now responding to pressure on this issue?

01:11:57.000 Because black community members in Chicago were screaming, we are being replaced.

01:12:03.000 Yeah.

01:12:03.000 So when the great replacement theory reaches black neighborhoods in Chicago, the media has got a big problem on their hands.

01:12:10.000 Trump consistently led on the issues that actually matter.

01:12:12.000 Right.

01:12:12.000 He led on immigration.

01:12:13.000 He led on crime.

01:12:14.000 He led on the economy.

01:12:15.000 And that's one of the reasons he did well in his his debate with Biden, which is that He could always return to the issues and be like, things are bad and I will fix them.

01:12:23.000 This guy's in office and made them worse.

01:12:25.000 And I think, frankly, it's the sort of same argument with Harris, right? 1.00

01:12:29.000 She's in office and either she is complicit by doing nothing or she's that ignorant. 0.99

01:12:35.000 At which point, why would you put her back in the White House with more responsibility? 0.93

01:12:39.000 Something that I just want to say about the current crisis, because this is something that you might not hear a lot and something that I have learned through my reporting in Latin America is I know people make the point a lot that a lot of our immigration issues right now on the border are blowback from our meddling regime change wars, yada yada.

01:12:57.000 But there's another element that people might not realize.

01:13:01.000 For example, right now we have Venezuelans primarily coming into the country.

01:13:06.000 I wrote a whole book, I don't want to give the whole spiel about how we destabilize that country, but I think I spell it out pretty clearly in the book.

01:13:15.000 What people might not realize is so Trump He did launch this policy to recognize a shadow government and really aggressively sanction their country, really strangle it to the point that people were wanting to leave and they'd left and gone all around Latin America.

01:13:28.000 It wasn't until Biden came in and agreed to grant Venezuelans temporary protected status that they actually started coming to the United States, because that's pretty much a green light. 0.98

01:13:38.000 You can work before you have a green card and all these, you know, you get special treatment.

01:13:43.000 It's like wet foot, dry foot that we had for Cubans. 1.00

01:13:47.000 A lot of people get here and actually realize they don't have a great life.

01:13:51.000 They're living in tents.

01:13:53.000 Maybe life was better back home.

01:13:55.000 The Venezuelan government actually has a policy where, and they've done this all throughout South America, where they've chartered Venezuelan government planes to bring people back to the country, repatriate.

01:14:05.000 It's called Vuelta a la Patria.

01:14:07.000 It's an official program.

01:14:08.000 They've done it with hundreds if not thousands of people now.

01:14:11.000 And I had a conversation with the Venezuelan foreign minister in New York a few months ago, and he represents the government that actually controls the borders and the ministries of Venezuela that we don't recognize because we recognize the shadow government.

01:14:24.000 And he said they want to do that with the United States.

01:14:26.000 They've reached out.

01:14:27.000 They've even tried to work with the U.N.

01:14:29.000 to start to try and see if there are any Venezuelans who want to go back.

01:14:33.000 And it's because we don't recognize that government that we can't actually have a remedy to this crisis.

01:14:40.000 And it makes you wonder why.

01:14:41.000 We don't even have an embassy functioning in Washington, D.C.

01:14:44.000 right now.

01:14:44.000 There is no Venezuelan embassy.

01:14:46.000 It's empty.

01:14:47.000 And yet we have millions of people coming here who need services.

01:14:50.000 So it's just an example of how this is an issue that gets weaponized by both parties.

01:14:55.000 But it seems in some ways there could be a solution, like not destroying countries and then having relations with them.

01:15:01.000 Well, I want to say something that actually was surprising to me, that up until not that long ago, actually, Venezuela had U.S.

01:15:07.000 visa on entry.

01:15:09.000 And I was actually surprised to learn that when I went to Venezuela that I could just walk in American.

01:15:14.000 You went?

01:15:15.000 Yes.

01:15:16.000 And Americans are allowed to, at the time, now you require a visa and it's heavily restricted as things have gotten substantially worse.

01:15:23.000 But I went, I think it was 2014?

01:15:25.000 Oh wow.

01:15:29.000 I was surprised to learn.

01:15:29.000 You walk up, you say, I'm an American.

01:15:31.000 They say, welcome to Venezuela.

01:15:32.000 It was that easy.

01:15:33.000 Well, granted, I had to flee the country because they accused me of being CIA, but that's a different story.

01:15:36.000 That's a different story.

01:15:38.000 But why is it, though, that the Biden-Harris administration admits, you know, like it's sort of an open door policy for like 30,000 Venezuelans, among other countries, per month?

01:15:50.000 I don't know.

01:15:51.000 Why is it?

01:15:52.000 Well, I mean, it's kind of obvious.

01:15:53.000 Yeah.

01:15:53.000 I mean, it's Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua.

01:15:56.000 So it's not just Venezuelans.

01:15:58.000 No, no, no.

01:15:59.000 It's like a selection of countries that are really going through it.

01:16:02.000 Oh, well, those are countries that we've like uniquely targeted with regime change over the last year.

01:16:06.000 I can give another example.

01:16:07.000 I'm just curious as to your take, because I've spent a lot of time in Nicaragua as well, where the United States funded very violent riots in 2018 to try to overthrow the government.

01:16:15.000 We have harsh sanctions on the country.

01:16:16.000 We've seized a lot of their assets.

01:16:19.000 And earlier this year, I went to Nicaragua and I passed through El Salvador.

01:16:26.000 And, you know, I saw firsthand the flight that I was told about in the media of people coming from North Africa and Africa, it seemed mainly, filtering through the Salvadoran airport.

01:16:36.000 The Salvadoran government has a policy where they won't let them out, but they'll let them on. 0.99

01:16:41.000 So they went next to Nicaragua.

01:16:43.000 I've never been on a full flight from El Salvador to Nicaragua like that before, but it was all mainly African, North African, even some Chinese migrants. 0.84

01:16:54.000 And Nicaragua used to have a policy where they would not let any of those people out 0.99

01:16:58.000 of the airport because they were coordinating with us to slow the immigration, to slow migration.

01:17:04.000 And people wouldn't even bother going there.

01:17:06.000 But since we've tried to overthrow their government, strangle and strangle their economy, they've

01:17:14.000 actually started letting people out.

01:17:16.000 They even have a special visa for those people, so all they have to do is pay and go on. 0.83

01:17:20.000 And it's pretty much if you ask people in the street, why is this happening?

01:17:23.000 They're like, yeah, the US tried to mess with us.

01:17:26.000 Now it's kind of revenge.

01:17:27.000 And so it's the kind of thing that has a very simple solution.

01:17:30.000 If you're the United States and you want to stop that, go to the Nicaraguan government and say, we're going to release your assets.

01:17:36.000 We're going to end sanctions.

01:17:37.000 We're going to stop trying to meddle in your affairs.

01:17:39.000 Just please go back to this policy of stopping the flow of migration to the U.S.

01:17:43.000 southern border.

01:17:44.000 And yet for some reason that won't happen.

01:17:47.000 It is because, I'm left with no other conclusion, that they want people coming here.

01:17:50.000 They want it, yeah.

01:17:51.000 Absolutely.

01:17:52.000 Yeah, they definitely will.

01:17:53.000 I went over the numbers.

01:17:54.000 California has estimated 2.73 million illegal immigrants living in the state.

01:18:00.000 They are getting extra congressional votes.

01:18:02.000 For Republicans to win a presidential election, they need to overcome the Democrats' bonus 5 to 6 electoral votes.

01:18:11.000 That's insane.

01:18:11.000 And the same thing is true for Republicans in Congress as well.

01:18:15.000 Congress, because Democrats are getting around five to six additional congressional seats based on the amount of illegal immigrants they've allowed into the country, who don't get to vote, who don't get a say in the matter, Republicans have to have a majority greater.

01:18:27.000 So this is basically Democrats operating on a political handicap.

01:18:30.000 Republicans have to work extra hard to get extra seats to be able to overcome that advantage that they've cheated to give themselves.

01:18:37.000 So they certainly want these people to come in.

01:18:38.000 Yeah, they want it so that they just maintain their power because it's really just a power struggle.

01:18:43.000 It can be easily solved.

01:18:45.000 You could even start sending some of these people back, not with massive deportations, voluntarily.

01:18:49.000 And the other governments might, you know, like I said, the Venezuelan government would happily charter planes to do so because they've done it elsewhere.

01:18:56.000 So why aren't we doing that if it's such an issue for people?

01:19:01.000 Our government obviously doesn't care about our people here.

01:19:04.000 And that's the only conclusion I can draw from it.

01:19:06.000 Have you spent time in Venezuela?

01:19:08.000 So I went down there and my view is, while I certainly think the U.S.

01:19:14.000 has policies, let's just say, not aligned with helping Venezuela function properly, I'll keep it as light as I can.

01:19:22.000 The U.S.

01:19:22.000 is absolutely against Venezuela and has policies that harm and damage the economy there.

01:19:27.000 I certainly think that their own policies have done this to themselves to a great degree as well.

01:19:32.000 Well, I would argue that no Venezuelan government official that I've ever talked to denies that there's corruption.

01:19:38.000 Venezuela is a petro-state ever since... I don't mean corruption, I mean the function of their economy doesn't work.

01:19:44.000 Okay, well, let me give an example of someone that I...

01:19:48.000 profile in the book.

01:19:49.000 His name is Francisco Rodriguez.

01:19:51.000 He's a Harvard-educated economist who worked in the Venezuelan government and left, got into fights with Maduro way back in the early 2000s when Maduro was a legislator.

01:20:00.000 He's been in the U.S.

01:20:01.000 since, working on Wall Street.

01:20:03.000 He's heavily opposed to Chavismo and Maduro's government.

01:20:07.000 But he, because he actually cares about The people of his homeland doesn't support this aggressive U.S.

01:20:14.000 policy of attempting to strangle their economy and cause suffering in the country.

01:20:20.000 And he actually conducted a thorough academic study with his Harvard chops and his Wall Street chops.

01:20:28.000 And I can pull up the page somewhere in the book because there's a picture.

01:20:31.000 I actually show a chart that he produced.

01:20:34.000 Venezuela's economy is entirely dependent on oil and he shows through time series data that every major drop in Venezuelan oil production occurred directly after a U.S.

01:20:45.000 sanction was issued on the country.

01:20:46.000 Oh yeah.

01:20:47.000 And he said it is a smoking gun implicating the U.S.

01:20:50.000 and Venezuela's economic downturn.

01:20:52.000 And he said, the quote that he gave me is, and of course because he's in the opposition, he says, Of course, the economy was being mismanaged.

01:21:00.000 It was, you know, not, it's not perfectly run, but no one, nobody was predicting a major crash in the oil market or in their oil industry or in their economy that they saw.

01:21:11.000 And so without that US intervention, there's just an absolute, and he's not the only expert that I turn to in the book.

01:21:18.000 And I agree with that.

01:21:20.000 I just think that the function of their economy doesn't make sense.

01:21:24.000 Which part of it?

01:21:25.000 Well, this is the thing about it.

01:21:26.000 It's not a socialist economy where everything's controlled by the state.

01:21:29.000 No, but they create fake jobs. 0.77

01:21:31.000 For instance, the example I often give, and granted it's been a decade since I've been there, but when I went to buy a cell phone, You can't just walk into a store, meet one person, and buy a cell phone.

01:21:45.000 They made me go through a bureaucratic process with like six different steps, and when I asked them why, the answer was, the government requires the creation of jobs.

01:21:54.000 Jobs are good for the economy, so they regulate in such a way that jobs must exist, even if the jobs are actually inefficient and bogged down the economy.

01:22:02.000 That being said, I agree with you on the oil thing.

01:22:05.000 The United States wants to be completely in control of who can buy, trade, and sell oil, and it's how the U.S.

01:22:10.000 maintains its control over the liberal economic order.

01:22:13.000 Americans are in for a rude awakening, mostly urban-dwelling liberal Americans, now that Saudi Arabia has jumped the petrodollar deal.

01:22:21.000 Yep, exactly.

01:22:23.000 The coming conflict that we will see from this, if Venezuela starts doing deals in yuan, their economy will skyrocket.

01:22:31.000 Yep, their economy is going to jump straight up.

01:22:33.000 And rubles.

01:22:34.000 And rubles.

01:22:35.000 And if there's an Iranian supermarket that is building and expanding on Venezuela because of our sanctions, who would have thought that Iran would have a base of influence on the U.S.

01:22:43.000 continent?

01:22:46.000 I'm sorry, the American continent.

01:22:48.000 We've been talking too much.

01:22:50.000 It's going to be wild.

01:22:51.000 Because of a policy crafted by John Bolton and Elliott Abrams.

01:22:54.000 It's like our policy just doesn't make sense.

01:22:59.000 My view on this whole thing is that the neoliberal, neocon establishment says we have to retain military supremacy over the planet and suppress anyone who opposes the petrodollar because the U.S.

01:23:11.000 doesn't produce anything.

01:23:13.000 We produce culture.

01:23:14.000 You know, and then we export it basically because of the force we have and the occupation power that we have.

01:23:19.000 But for the most part, that's the only thing we actually export, which means by any sane metric, the U.S.

01:23:24.000 economy should not be anywhere near as strong as it is because we don't export enough goods.

01:23:28.000 We import way too much.

01:23:29.000 Our economy is good because we have a bunch of cannons and guns and drones pointed at a bunch of other countries saying, trade oil in dollars or else.

01:23:37.000 Saudi Arabia dumps this deal.

01:23:38.000 And now China is doing big deals in yuan and rubles, especially the conflict with Russia.

01:23:43.000 Venezuela is going to see a rebound of their economy for this reason.

01:23:46.000 The U.S.

01:23:47.000 will struggle to maintain their imports.

01:23:50.000 The simple way to explain what this means for all of you is that that $1,500 MacBook you love, it's going to cost you $10,000 in a few years.

01:23:58.000 It's not inflation.

01:24:00.000 It's that the only reason we can import a computer that's manufactured in China is because we control the petrodollar.

01:24:06.000 So that means when we want to import goods, we get them at a premium rate because if anyone wants to buy oil, they've got to buy US dollars first.

01:24:13.000 Our export is literally the control of the currency required to buy energy.

01:24:17.000 Now that that's breaking, We're going to try to buy a laptop from China and they're going to say, why do we need U.S.

01:24:24.000 dollars?

01:24:24.000 We don't need them anymore.

01:24:26.000 So it's going to cost you $10,000 for our labor.

01:24:28.000 That's why the great idea is to bring U.S.

01:24:31.000 manufacturing home and to be energy independent.

01:24:34.000 And so Trump's plan was the petrodollar system is failing.

01:24:37.000 I'm not saying this is literally what Trump was thinking, but the Trump side represents The liberal economic order has failed.

01:24:43.000 The petrodollar system will fail.

01:24:45.000 For the past decade, China and Russia have been dumping U.S.

01:24:47.000 dollars in bonds, and they've been trying to get out of that market because the moves they're making are clear.

01:24:51.000 We can no longer appease Saudi Arabia, so Trump says, secure our borders, Sure up our economy, build up our jobs, make sure we're producing, manufacturing, and bringing our troops back, because we will not be able to sustain this massive military expansion when we don't control the oil system. 0.88

01:25:08.000 And the deep state said, no, bomb Russia, bomb Ukraine, bomb Iran, and that's how we're going to maintain the system.

01:25:14.000 And Venezuela as well.

01:25:15.000 Absolutely.

01:25:16.000 I mean, John Bolton writes about it in his memoir, crafting the coup policy, this shadow government that they recognized, forcing Trump to do that or pushing Trump to do that.

01:25:25.000 I mean, I just one other point to make, because I think this is something that for Americans, I just I wish that we knew how ridiculous our policy is.

01:25:34.000 So when Trump recognized the shadow government in Venezuela at that time, Venezuela was providing us with about 7 percent of our oil imports.

01:25:42.000 Canceled those, put sanctions saying we can't buy Venezuelan oil.

01:25:45.000 Okay, that's great for us.

01:25:46.000 Russia's share of the oil market immediately jumped by 7%.

01:25:51.000 I have a graph in my book showing. 0.99

01:25:53.000 I think it's because they're probably buying Venezuelan oil and selling it back to us, which is stupid. 0.97

01:25:57.000 But then Biden comes in and puts an embargo on Russian oil. 0.95

01:26:01.000 So we lost 10% of our imports.

01:26:04.000 Obviously, we don't have the infrastructure in place here to make it up.

01:26:07.000 And just one more point, we hear all about this like communist socialist dictatorship down there.

01:26:12.000 They actually would do business with us.

01:26:14.000 They would have been happy because they started actually opening up their oil market to foreign investment.

01:26:18.000 And because we were the ones boycotting they went to Russia and China.

01:26:22.000 I have sources on Wall Street who want to do business with the Venezuelan government, but their main obstacle is not the socialist government down there.

01:26:31.000 It's the U.S. 0.61

01:26:32.000 Treasury Department, which is somehow so ideologically obsessed with just overthrowing anyone who resists the liberal order.

01:26:39.000 That we are now at a point where you could have maybe made the case that this interventionist foreign policy, even if we're morally opposed to it, was benefiting the United States at some point.

01:26:49.000 That's no longer the case.

01:26:51.000 And when it comes to the dollar and the fact that everybody's ditched it, that wasn't just something that happened because they wanted to.

01:26:57.000 It's because we weaponized the dollar.

01:27:00.000 It was happening under Obama.

01:27:02.000 What can we do to make it stop?

01:27:04.000 I remember in the 2000s, Alex Jones was talking about this, that Russia and China were preparing to dump the petrodollar.

01:27:10.000 And he's warning about this some like 20, 15, 20 years ago.

01:27:14.000 And now it's happening.

01:27:15.000 And so I think, I think in the future, Donald Trump, you know, he's negotiating with Kim Jong Un, I think ultimately, Trump is going to, the Trump policy would probably be Venezuelan neutral.

01:27:28.000 Should be.

01:27:28.000 He's going to say, I don't know about these countries.

01:27:31.000 I don't care about them.

01:27:32.000 Their people are not my people. 1.00

01:27:34.000 You want to sell me oil?

01:27:35.000 Give me a good deal.

01:27:36.000 I don't care what you do.

01:27:37.000 That should be the policy.

01:27:38.000 Unfortunately, I do think the fact that now the Venezuelan opposition group that drove this policy under Trump and now pushed Biden to give Venezuelans temporary protected status wants to build a base of political support in Florida that

01:27:53.000 operates like the Miami Cubans or anyone else that says we're one issue voters, you have

01:27:57.000 to be very, very aggressive on.

01:28:00.000 But to me, that's not that's not putting America first, obviously.

01:28:02.000 And if you come here and you're a citizen, you can't really be forcing me.

01:28:08.000 You have a stake here now, right?

01:28:09.000 You're a part of this country.

01:28:10.000 Well, that's the idea.

01:28:11.000 And we don't have a culture.

01:28:13.000 There's another component to the immigration thing that I think is important.

01:28:16.000 into American values and American culture. And we have, what we have most of

01:28:21.000 the time is we have all of our major institutions saying that America is a

01:28:26.000 bad and terrible place to be and hating us.

01:28:28.000 Yes, that's true.

01:28:29.000 There's another component to the immigration thing that I think is important.

01:28:32.000 It's the need Democrats have for remittances. We ask ourselves, why was

01:28:37.000 there this big story that we're giving 12 million dollars to Pakistani gender

01:28:40.000 studies?

01:28:41.000 To shore up the petrodollar, we need people to want the petrodollar.

01:28:46.000 So if we go to Pakistan and say, hey, we're going to give you $100 million to spend on these programs, we guarantee how they spend it. 0.98

01:28:55.000 In their minds, they're thinking, hey, so long as everyone's buying using dollars and dollars are valuable, we're getting free stuff.

01:29:03.000 The purpose is, and this is what they're doing, by giving U.S. 0.60

01:29:08.000 dollars to foreign countries, the foreign countries have an interest in other people using and spending that money.

01:29:14.000 If everybody all at once said U.S.

01:29:15.000 dollars are worthless, Pakistan would be like, sorry, I can't take your dollars, they're not going to get me anything. 1.00

01:29:19.000 So they accept them.

01:29:20.000 Other countries accept them.

01:29:22.000 Both countries are now being tricked into sharing spending with our money.

01:29:26.000 Remittances do a similar thing.

01:29:27.000 By destroying these other countries and Democrats allowing these people to come to the United States, when they then make U.S. 0.94

01:29:34.000 dollars working here and send them back to their home country, Their home country has an interest in buying and spending with U.S. 0.83

01:29:41.000 dollars.

01:29:42.000 They want those remittances.

01:29:43.000 Trump's going to say, I don't care about those countries.

01:29:46.000 I don't care about remittances.

01:29:47.000 I want America as a country to be healthy and functioning, not the pulsing nucleus of some liberal economic order.

01:29:54.000 And since we talked about earlier, you know, transatlanticism and this weird, Trump was so correct when he said NATO's obsolete.

01:30:01.000 I, as an American, don't understand why our main allies are the people that we fought to be independent from.

01:30:07.000 And just one more point on Venezuela.

01:30:10.000 Part of the reason that I developed an interest there is that I, as I learned about that country, I saw they're actually very similar to us.

01:30:16.000 They were, we had the British, they had the Spanish, you know, they came over, had, A slave economy and fought for independence then from the European powers. 0.83

01:30:25.000 Actually, their revolutionary independence leaders fought alongside ours in the U.S.

01:30:30.000 Revolutionary War, laid siege to King George's troops because they saw our fight as the same fight.

01:30:36.000 And I actually think in a world where the U.S.

01:30:38.000 was acting in America first, our main allies would be Mexico, Venezuela, The countries that are powerful in our immediate neighborhood.

01:30:45.000 Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world over double what Saudi Arabia has and the largest untapped gold deposits in the world.

01:30:53.000 And our policy has turned that over.

01:30:55.000 You know, we could have just gotten along.

01:30:57.000 It could have been great.

01:30:58.000 And instead, you have the Russians and the Chinese there. 0.91

01:31:01.000 And, you know, I'm not one of those people that's like scared of that. 0.99

01:31:04.000 But I just think it's like, wow, our policy is so dumb. 0.94

01:31:07.000 It's wealth through might. 0.96

01:31:11.000 The liberal economic order is basically... I can give the most charitable... I'll steal, man.

01:31:16.000 I'll give their version of events, because they write this on the CFR website.

01:31:20.000 After World War II, there's a genuine fear that another full-scale war of this level would result in the annihilation of mankind.

01:31:28.000 Nuclear weapons had begun to proliferate, and so there had to be a stabilizing force.

01:31:33.000 By creating a variety of international agreements, and that includes financial power and military power.

01:31:39.000 IMF, all that.

01:31:40.000 All of that stuff, yep.

01:31:42.000 By issuing loans and creating debt, you keep people locked into obedience.

01:31:49.000 And this was the plan to stabilize the planet.

01:31:51.000 Here's how the debt system works.

01:31:52.000 IMF issues loans to these countries and then says, you're in debt to us now, you have to do as we say.

01:31:57.000 But hold on.

01:31:58.000 Don't worry.

01:31:59.000 You're the wealthy leader of this country.

01:32:01.000 You're going to live in luxury with your infinity pool and your Bugatti as long as you do what we say.

01:32:05.000 And they say, you got it.

01:32:07.000 Then huge portions of the taxes from this country and the labor goes back to the IMF, keeping them forever entrenched in this international system.

01:32:14.000 The idea they had was this would create a stabilizing force where you have less incentives for war.

01:32:19.000 The reality is they created a gigantic squid-like monster with tentacles Ripping into these foreign countries, entangling the United States and other European states into this whole quagmire mess they could not maintain, that their children don't know how to maintain, and is resulting in severe animosity, and actually creating the potential for a grand World War III scenario with Russia. 0.91

01:32:42.000 Russia doesn't want to abide by these crackpot rules, and the U.S. 0.51

01:32:46.000 We had a Ukrainian now who's got a warrant for his arrest for blowing up Nord Stream. 1.00

01:32:50.000 The U.S.

01:32:50.000 Vladimir Z.

01:32:52.000 Yeah, Vladimir Z. So the U.S., because of Russia's ability to sell energy at a higher rate through Gazprom into Europe, decides we're going to seize Ukraine, we're going to seize Syria, we're going to destabilize these countries, because that's what the liberal economic order must do to maintain the system, because we're the good guys, they say.

01:33:13.000 And all it's done has destabilized these regions, often intentionally so that

01:33:17.000 we can justify our military expansion in these countries for the purpose of energy exploration and

01:33:22.000 removing any competition.

01:33:23.000 And it's resulting in a conflict with Russia, potentially China, Venezuela, Iran, which maybe

01:33:28.000 we win. But you know, the reality is in a nuclear war, there are no winners, just survivors.

01:33:33.000 No, and I think the people who are at the top of this octopus, whatever you want to call it.

01:33:41.000 Squid monster.

01:33:42.000 Squid monster.

01:33:43.000 Not only do they want to repress U.S. 0.95

01:33:46.000 sovereignty and the sovereign rights of Americans, which we've made a lot of progress over the years to gain, or fought really hard to gain, they kind of forgot, they just, they just, they have this doubt of humanity.

01:33:59.000 They don't understand that like every single country is also going to eventually fight for their sovereignty.

01:34:05.000 Every group of people around the world is going to push to be free and to have their own state, their own will enacted, and we can't impose it on them.

01:34:17.000 And we thought forever that, oh, the Iranians, they're Shia, and the Saudis, they're Sunni, so they'll never get on the same page. 0.99

01:34:24.000 Well, now they both are in bricks on the same page because guess what?

01:34:28.000 I mean, even Saudi Arabia wants to preserve their sovereignty.

01:34:31.000 They're looking at what the U.S.

01:34:32.000 does and is like, wait, what if one day they decide to weaponize the dollar again?

01:34:36.000 I mean, already when you had Lindsey Graham and major U.S. 0.99

01:34:39.000 officials whining about Prince MBS, it's very clear the agenda there is to one day go and overthrow the Saudi kingdom if it starts to not enact, you know, or grow along with the petrodollar, which I think is, yeah.

01:34:51.000 I think it's over.

01:34:52.000 Petrodollar is over.

01:34:53.000 Saudi Arabia said no.

01:34:56.000 Remember when Biden put down the Russia oil embargo disaster and he called the UAE, he called MBZ and he called MBS and they didn't answer the phone?

01:35:09.000 And they begged Saudi Arabia to stop producing oil, and Saudi Arabia said, uh, we're gonna sell more.

01:35:15.000 That was in the lead up to the 2020 election.

01:35:17.000 So it's like, we... wasn't it?

01:35:17.000 Yep.

01:35:19.000 No, no, no, this is after Biden was calling and trying to get them to, like, hey, come on, we need your help on this one.

01:35:26.000 When was that?

01:35:27.000 This is well after 2020, because this is Russian war. 0.84

01:35:29.000 Yeah.

01:35:29.000 Yeah, I think it was right before the midterms.

01:35:29.000 It was 2022.

01:35:31.000 Oh, it was the midterms.

01:35:32.000 Yeah, the midterms.

01:35:32.000 That's what I'm thinking of, it was the midterms.

01:35:34.000 So what do we do as Americans to stop this?

01:35:37.000 Because...

01:35:38.000 Vote for Trump.

01:35:39.000 Trump's not a guarantee.

01:35:41.000 I'll say this before we go to Super Chats, because we'll definitely have a lot more to talk about in the Uncensored show.

01:35:45.000 You know, I don't care that communism exists in other countries.

01:35:50.000 I literally don't.

01:35:51.000 It's bad.

01:35:51.000 I don't care if Venezuela is socialist or otherwise.

01:35:53.000 I will complain about it, and I'll make fun of them.

01:35:55.000 And they can do whatever Venezuela wants to do, because they're not America. 0.90

01:35:58.000 And we can secure our borders, we can build up our jobs, and we can focus on ourselves. 0.63

01:36:01.000 But this plague of expansionist liberal economic order garbage is a detriment to the American people.

01:36:08.000 Let's go to Super Chats. 0.97

01:36:10.000 Otherwise, I'll rant for another three hours.

01:36:11.000 What about agriculture?

01:36:13.000 We should be agriculturally independent, too.

01:36:15.000 We should totally be agriculturally independent.

01:36:18.000 Like when you go to the grocery store and you're just kind of like, do I have to buy produce from South America?

01:36:23.000 Why don't bagged vegetables and Trader Joe's from China?

01:36:23.000 Why?

01:36:26.000 And you can always tell the garlic, like the ones that don't have the black marks.

01:36:31.000 Yeah, like the ones that don't have the roots on the bottom are imported.

01:36:50.000 Um, we just get a lot of offers and I have these people that are like, you do know that most podcasts will do three to five reads during the entire show?

01:36:57.000 And I'm like, if you're, if you're listening on like the podcast version or after the show wraps, there's automatic ads that play on these platforms.

01:37:03.000 That just is what it is.

01:37:04.000 But like to disrupt the conversation with an ad read is awful.

01:37:07.000 I wouldn't do it.

01:37:21.000 We got Kyle saying, Kamala is now supporting a border wall.

01:37:25.000 It'd be smarter for her to endorse Thomas Massie's no tax on tips bill and have it passed before November 5th. 0.76

01:37:31.000 Agreed.

01:37:32.000 I have stated as such.

01:37:33.000 She should come out and say, OK, Republicans, I support this.

01:37:36.000 Let's do it.

01:37:36.000 And I'll get Biden to sign it.

01:37:37.000 I'll cast a tiebreaking vote to make it happen.

01:37:40.000 Give it to Biden.

01:37:40.000 Biden will sign it.

01:37:41.000 Yeah, she should do things now.

01:37:42.000 She's in the White House.

01:37:44.000 Yep.

01:37:45.000 And we should clone Thomas Massie.

01:37:47.000 Yes, if we can.

01:37:48.000 He has children.

01:37:49.000 We have to conscript them into Congress. 0.64

01:38:02.000 I mean, it's one of the things I was bringing up the other day.

01:38:04.000 He got a tan.

01:38:06.000 He grew his hair a little bit, a little facial hair.

01:38:08.000 I think he doesn't like being made fun of for being a weird, creepy robot guy.

01:38:12.000 He wants to get past that picture of him surfing where he's like super pasty white.

01:38:17.000 And sorry, Mark, you're just not going to live it down.

01:38:20.000 But also he already has a long legacy of being a leftist.

01:38:23.000 It's good messaging right now, but I need at least 10 years of follow through before I really trust you.

01:38:31.000 Agreed, agreed.

01:38:31.000 Him taking the Elon Musk route, I accept.

01:38:34.000 Mark, get on it.

01:38:36.000 Don't fight Elon Musk.

01:38:38.000 Hang out with him and make a funny video and then do a podcast with him where you can talk about these issues.

01:38:44.000 And if he goes the Elon route and says, we're going to change the rules on Facebook, we're going to stop being so censorious, Because they're not.

01:38:52.000 He's claiming it.

01:38:52.000 But they're not.

01:38:52.000 They're one of the worst.

01:38:54.000 Substantially worse than YouTube, actually.

01:38:56.000 Then I would actually be like, good for you, Mark.

01:38:58.000 I welcome Mark Zuckerberg to see the light and do the right thing, even if it's just superficial.

01:39:03.000 Yeah, I mean, if it's good for business, that's what he's thinking about at the end of the day.

01:39:07.000 And nobody uses Facebook anymore, right?

01:39:10.000 So maybe he needs to make it hip.

01:39:11.000 Old people. 0.98

01:39:13.000 Older people. 0.96

01:39:14.000 It's become what the email chain, the email forwards used to be.

01:39:18.000 Yeah.

01:39:19.000 Yeah, it is like that.

01:39:20.000 And whenever I go on Facebook just to check, it's like a bunch of people from my high school seeming to have a great time.

01:39:26.000 Totally oblivious to like... I use Messenger.

01:39:28.000 That's all I use.

01:39:30.000 And what, I mean, WhatsApp, he's got WhatsApp too.

01:39:33.000 And Instagram.

01:39:35.000 Yeah, I use Instagram a lot.

01:39:36.000 All right, Wrath of Ball says, having no policies on our website, Kamala Harris is the personification of, we have to pass the bill to see what's in it. 0.86

01:39:43.000 Yeah, right.

01:39:45.000 It should be a felony to vote on a bill you didn't read.

01:39:47.000 Yeah, it wasn't.

01:39:48.000 Lauren Boebert was trying to get some time to actually read the bills and she kept getting struck down.

01:39:53.000 I don't care if it means no bill ever gets passed again.

01:39:56.000 It should be a felony offense if you vote on a bill and you did not read it.

01:40:00.000 Why do they have to be so long?

01:40:03.000 They can hide stuff in it.

01:40:04.000 They're only so big because they just shove everything together instead of having a proper government that debates individual issues.

01:40:11.000 That's what makes you conservative, Tim.

01:40:12.000 You just want government to slow down and not do so much stuff.

01:40:15.000 Just chill out, government.

01:40:16.000 Well, I don't think that's conservative.

01:40:18.000 I think that's a little conservative.

01:40:20.000 I think that perhaps it's a sad state of affairs if the reality is we should have proper governance becomes a conservative position.

01:40:28.000 I think that is a conservative position.

01:40:30.000 Or like we should return to constitutional rule and maybe have a sovereign country.

01:40:38.000 During the Occupy days, I used to think like, what's wrong with our country?

01:40:41.000 We need a revolution.

01:40:42.000 Because you know, that's what young people always are programmed to think.

01:40:44.000 And then now I'm just like, wait, all we need is to have a sovereign country and It's a good point.

01:41:00.000 As a young person, they say, our government is corrupt.

01:41:03.000 We need to remove it.

01:41:04.000 And then you actually get older and you realize, hold on.

01:41:07.000 The actual founding of this country put in place the mechanisms by which we can maintain and protect it, but we have bad people that are like, there's mold.

01:41:15.000 Our country's gotten moldy and we got to scrape the mold off.

01:41:18.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:41:19.000 It's been hijacked, as we said, in 1913.

01:41:22.000 Squid monster.

01:41:22.000 And you were saying earlier that all of our institutions and our government, it's all teaching us to hate ourselves and hate our country, and I think that's why.

01:41:29.000 It's because then we forget that, oh, the Patriot Act and all these things took away these rights that were actually pretty good.

01:41:34.000 Patriot Act is so brutal.

01:41:35.000 Instead of sitting around and being like, our country sucked because of slavery, we should be like, what about these rights that we had that were taken away and that we could actually- It sucks because of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Education.

01:41:47.000 No, but you know what I mean in terms of how it's like- No, I feel you, for sure.

01:41:50.000 Our US civic education is basically like World War II and slavery and civil rights.

01:41:55.000 There's no other- There's nothing else.

01:41:57.000 I'll tell you what I think happened.

01:41:59.000 I can analogize it for you.

01:42:00.000 Basically, you know, in 1913, the United States was exploring a planet where they had gotten a distress beacon for intelligent life, and they encountered an android that said, come with me, I want to show you something.

01:42:13.000 And then they went down and found these big pods, and they said, don't worry, trust me, it's safe.

01:42:17.000 And when they looked in the pod, a creature jumped onto America's face and laid its eggs in its belly, the Federal Reserve, which erupted from its stomach, killing the host and creating a xenomorph hybrid.

01:42:28.000 Yeah, I think that's the plot of Alien Covenant.

01:42:30.000 Ever since then, it was lost.

01:42:31.000 Because once we got involved, if we just hadn't gotten involved in World War One, let the Europeans settle it. 0.81

01:42:37.000 That was funny when they criticized Trump for this.

01:42:39.000 At the time, I was relatively ignorant on it, but I talked to Michael Malice, because it was rather superficial. 0.99

01:42:44.000 They said Trump was an idiot for claiming we shouldn't have been involved, and then Michael was like, well, but really, why were we involved? 0.97

01:42:49.000 And I was like, destabilization of European allies is bad in the long run economically. 1.00

01:42:53.000 And he's like, but you know, long story.

01:42:54.000 We had a conversation about it.

01:42:55.000 And it's an interesting point.

01:42:56.000 Donald Trump being critical of the U.S.

01:42:58.000 entering World War I was heavily slammed by the media. 0.98

01:43:02.000 And that's where they created the lie that Trump called soldiers suckers and losers for dying. 0.98

01:43:06.000 It's not true. 0.98

01:43:07.000 It never happened. 0.99

01:43:08.000 The suckers and losers are the people that, again, sacrificed A whole generation. 0.99

01:43:14.000 And then it's since then just been one generation after another. 0.99

01:43:17.000 You had so many die in World War II.

01:43:20.000 And then, you know, even forget about people who died.

01:43:23.000 If you know anybody who has family that served in Vietnam or Korea, it's all trickled down.

01:43:29.000 If their parents survived or their father survived, there's so much darkness and trauma that came with all of those wars.

01:43:36.000 And it's just something that was imposed on us that's so, it just makes me so mad.

01:43:41.000 Alright, we got R.C.

01:43:42.000 Terrell says, looking for Fourth Amendment case lawyers in Louisiana.

01:43:46.000 I was intimidated into an unlawful search after dark while alone on the highway, treated like a criminal and abandoned.

01:43:51.000 Meet up on the TimCast Discord.

01:43:54.000 Also, Justice League for the win.

01:43:55.000 Let's go.

01:43:56.000 Art Discord is so funny.

01:43:57.000 I love that you would be sourcing your lawyer via Pintast and the Discord.

01:44:02.000 Well, it's a network, man.

01:44:03.000 It used to be church.

01:44:03.000 It's really cool.

01:44:05.000 You'd go to church, and then you'd be talking to someone like, I need a lawyer, and they'd be like, oh, Bill.

01:44:10.000 And then you'd go to Bill, and he'd be like, oh, yeah, we got a guy who can help you out.

01:44:10.000 Bill works at a firm.

01:44:14.000 Now we don't do that.

01:44:14.000 We don't meet anybody anymore.

01:44:15.000 Well, it's because we lost all our third spaces.

01:44:17.000 That's why you need like, you know, the Timmy has discord.

01:44:20.000 We need the Cast Brew coffee shop locations where people can gather.

01:44:24.000 I was over by your coffee shop, future coffee shop the other day.

01:44:28.000 It's such a gorgeous building.

01:44:29.000 Permitting.

01:44:30.000 It's a historic building.

01:44:31.000 So it's like all these restrictions on it are brutal.

01:44:35.000 I can respect it.

01:44:36.000 I don't want to damage a historic building.

01:44:37.000 You know what I mean?

01:44:38.000 But at the same time, like we kind of need the coffee shop.

01:44:41.000 Here's the challenge.

01:44:42.000 In order to utilize the second floor, so all three floors are one floor, because the way the building was designed, even though there's a door separating it, they consider it to be an open connection.

01:44:53.000 And that means that we have to have an elevator for people who are otherly abled, differently abled. 1.00

01:44:59.000 The problem is the elevator we have is one of the first elevators ever created in the United States.

01:45:04.000 Is it an Otis?

01:45:05.000 I don't know.

01:45:06.000 Interesting.

01:45:07.000 It's just, it's like the second, I don't know, it might be like the second or third elevator ever installed and it goes way back and we don't want to tear it out.

01:45:15.000 But it's not legally code for use.

01:45:19.000 So privately we're allowed to ride in the elevator and it works just fine.

01:45:23.000 For public use it has to be completely replaced and upgraded.

01:45:26.000 And you can't do that.

01:45:28.000 We can.

01:45:29.000 Because of the permits?

01:45:30.000 No, no, we can.

01:45:31.000 They would let us rip out a historic artifact in this elevator.

01:45:35.000 I don't want to do that.

01:45:36.000 So I was like, okay, what do we have to do to make the second floor and the third floor have to be a private space?

01:45:41.000 And they're like, then you have to create a separate... For some reason, even though they're separated by a door, they consider the first floor and the second floor staircase to be one open connection.

01:45:52.000 Therefore, to have a business, we have to have an elevator.

01:45:55.000 And it's like, so how do we get the elevator repaired to maintain it as a historical elevator while, uh, getting up to code?

01:46:05.000 Custom ordering insane.

01:46:06.000 We'd have to like basically custom engineer elevator parts and it's just like prohibitively expensive.

01:46:12.000 Yeah.

01:46:12.000 So rocking a hard place on that one.

01:46:14.000 Basically what we have to do is we have to restructure the first floor walls so that we can isolate it as a separate building, basically moving a door or something.

01:46:22.000 I don't know.

01:46:22.000 It's weird, but you know, whatever.

01:46:25.000 That's silly and it takes a long time.

01:46:27.000 But then we'll have a third space, you know, it'll be great.

01:46:29.000 Alright!

01:46:30.000 Aaron says, the fact that you don't do ad reads is one of the reasons I became a member.

01:46:34.000 I will always support those who don't ruin content with ad reads.

01:46:37.000 So what we will always do is we do ads, they're called pre-rolls.

01:46:44.000 So we've done the shoutouts for MyPillow, we in the past have had a series of other sponsors, we're talking to some other ones.

01:46:50.000 I don't mind doing sponsor spots at the beginning of the show before we get started.

01:46:54.000 I think that's fantastic.

01:46:55.000 It helps fund the show and support it.

01:46:57.000 It's the most valuable position for an advertiser.

01:46:59.000 And then we have a real conversation without interruption live.

01:47:02.000 I think that's the way to do it.

01:47:03.000 That being said, the reality of money in podcasts is that I've been told that we are throwing away $10 million by not doing ad reads during IRL.

01:47:14.000 Because we have like five available slots that we are refusing to sell.

01:47:19.000 What, like between stories, basically?

01:47:20.000 Yeah.

01:47:21.000 That most podcasts do.

01:47:25.000 Instead of me saying, let's jump to this next story, they would say, we got another story, but before we do, let's talk about this really great product.

01:47:31.000 And it's a minute long ad read.

01:47:32.000 And they're like, if you do those five minutes out of your show, you can make 10 million more dollars. 0.77

01:47:36.000 And I'm just like, yeah, but the show would suck.

01:47:38.000 Yeah.

01:47:41.000 I hate when I'm listening to a podcast and it's broken up with ad reads.

01:47:45.000 I mean, I skip ahead.

01:47:47.000 There's programmatic ads naturally on all platforms, like YouTube has it too.

01:47:51.000 And so that just is what it is.

01:47:52.000 But if you're watching live, we don't do that.

01:47:54.000 Because the conversation flows better when I'm like, speaking of the Democrats, look at this story about Kamala of Tulsi and RFK Jr.

01:48:01.000 And I try to segue between the stories in a way that the conversation flows better.

01:48:05.000 But, you know, so I don't want to do ad reads in the middle of the show.

01:48:09.000 I think it's bad.

01:48:10.000 And it's more like public radio or something where it's like you, the viewer, make this possible.

01:48:14.000 Which, yeah.

01:48:15.000 Tim Press is brought to you by the members.

01:48:18.000 I mean, it's good.

01:48:19.000 Overwhelmingly.

01:48:20.000 We do have sponsors, and we do get programmatic ads and all that.

01:48:23.000 But I have no problem doing the pre-ads.

01:48:26.000 So we've got a couple companies that are really interested in partnering with us.

01:48:29.000 And that just means that at the start of the show, we do a minute ad read and the show starts.

01:48:33.000 Joe Rogan does it that way.

01:48:33.000 I think that's the way to do it.

01:48:34.000 I agree.

01:48:35.000 A lot of these shows, they'll have like five or six in between, but some of the biggest podcasts in the world, and everyone always says, everyone I've ever talked to on podcast, and they're like, oh, I'm really worried if I do ads, I'll lose viewership.

01:48:47.000 You never do.

01:48:48.000 It never happens.

01:48:48.000 And that's why the biggest podcasts in the world do this, because they're making $30 million a year by putting the sponsor spots in the show.

01:48:55.000 I just, I don't know, I'd rather do members.

01:48:57.000 And then they go, yeah, but members plus, and I'm like, I don't want to read ads in the middle of the show.

01:49:02.000 All right.

01:49:04.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:49:05.000 It just makes me think of the Truman Show, where she's like, maybe I should give you some of this hot cocoa.

01:49:10.000 And he's like, what are you talking about right now?

01:49:12.000 That is so wild.

01:49:13.000 Tim's like talking about the border and he's like, yeah, I mean, I really feel like everyone's getting kind of hydrated and, you know, maybe they should get some Gatorade.

01:49:19.000 Like, it'd be so weird.

01:49:20.000 I have no problem with... Some people have asked if we would drink their drink on the show, and I'm like, if you want to pay for the drinks that we have, I'm fine with that.

01:49:28.000 I'm not... We won't shout you out during the show, but... And their companies, they're like, no, no, no, we just want you to have our drink, to be drinking it.

01:49:35.000 It's great for us.

01:49:36.000 And I'm like, sure, I guess.

01:49:37.000 It doesn't really pay that well, though.

01:49:39.000 There's not really any real... Product placement.

01:49:41.000 Yeah, and I'm like, if you're going to pay for our drinks, we have to pay for all this stuff for all our guests.

01:49:46.000 That's fine.

01:49:47.000 All right, here we go.

01:49:47.000 Matthew Buono says, I live two miles outside of downtown Cleveland.

01:49:50.000 2020 in my neighborhood was littered with Biden-Harris.

01:49:53.000 Now I've seen all of one sign for Harris-Waltz.

01:49:56.000 Oh, wow.

01:49:57.000 Wow.

01:49:58.000 That's interesting.

01:49:59.000 It's not the same ticket.

01:50:00.000 And I think the idea that, you know, I think there are a lot of Democrats who feel ripped off.

01:50:05.000 They might ultimately cast the rope for Harris, but they did not initially get behind the Harris-Waltz campaign.

01:50:12.000 Here's a good one.

01:50:13.000 Ginger Jax says, Hey, Northern Virginia is a death and internet database economy.

01:50:18.000 70% of the world's internet traffic passes through Nova.

01:50:22.000 You can't toss a rock in Nova without hitting a Fed in a data center.

01:50:25.000 I believe that one for sure.

01:50:27.000 Interesting.

01:50:27.000 Yeah.

01:50:28.000 I didn't know that.

01:50:29.000 They want that to be the place because that's where they spy on everybody.

01:50:31.000 All right, and of course that's why I remember when Bezos was making the big competition about where in the country he was going to go open the big Amazon center as if Crystal City in Virginia wasn't going to win because it's right there by the Pentagon.

01:50:43.000 But I will, I will say Reston is, it's so beautiful, it's so fun.

01:50:49.000 Barcelona Tapas in Reston.

01:50:51.000 You've been there?

01:50:51.000 Yeah, I love Reston.

01:50:53.000 Okay, great.

01:50:53.000 Have you been to Barcelona though?

01:50:54.000 Yeah.

01:50:55.000 The restaurant?

01:50:55.000 Yeah.

01:50:56.000 Oh, wow.

01:50:56.000 It's my favorite.

01:50:57.000 It's like one of my favorites.

01:50:57.000 It's absolutely fantastic.

01:50:58.000 Very, very good food.

01:50:59.000 And I will give them a shout out all the time because they're very nice to us and people who work there are fans of the show.

01:51:05.000 And every time we've gone there, not every time, but several times I've gone there, people, they walk by and they're like, hey, I just want to let you know I'm a big fan.

01:51:12.000 You probably don't hear that out here.

01:51:13.000 And I'm like, dude, actually, The people who work here are fans.

01:51:17.000 I'm actually surprised to see it.

01:51:18.000 That's so cool.

01:51:19.000 Yeah, and we love that place.

01:51:20.000 You should go to the, there's a good Peruvian place as well.

01:51:25.000 Oh.

01:51:25.000 Yuzco Inasca.

01:51:26.000 Oh, I'll check that one out.

01:51:27.000 I like Peruvian food.

01:51:29.000 But yeah, Barcelona's so good.

01:51:30.000 They just do the charcuterie boards and the ham and the goat cheese.

01:51:33.000 Yeah, I love the tapas because you get to try everything.

01:51:35.000 Yeah.

01:51:36.000 And the olive oil just dumped all over everything.

01:51:38.000 And the bone marrow.

01:51:39.000 That's one of my favorite places.

01:51:40.000 And I really do like that place.

01:51:43.000 They're very nice to us.

01:51:44.000 So shout out to Barcelona.

01:51:45.000 And that's the name of the restaurant, not the place.

01:51:48.000 It's in Ruston, Virginia.

01:51:49.000 Alright, let's go.

01:51:49.000 I've seen a bit of it.

01:51:50.000 I know that he's basically going ham.

01:51:51.000 new song Everyone Needs Me, please get him.

01:51:54.000 Also, have you seen all the stuff Crowder is doing to be ready for the election?

01:51:57.000 I've seen a bit of it.

01:51:59.000 I know that he's basically going ham.

01:52:01.000 Isn't he doing like cameras and poll watchers or something?

01:52:04.000 I don't know.

01:52:04.000 I haven't checked that out myself, in fact.

01:52:06.000 Shout out to Steven Crowder.

01:52:07.000 Yeah, I don't know what he's doing.

01:52:09.000 Let's go.

01:52:10.000 Nick says, California's 31st, uh, what is this, uh, uh, assistant direct district?

01:52:16.000 Ass district? 0.95

01:52:17.000 I don't know what, I'm assuming that means assistant.

01:52:19.000 Joaquin Arambola is proposing AB805 in which the states seize sewers and appoints the oversight company?

01:52:27.000 What?

01:52:28.000 It will also allow additional fees on sewage.

01:52:30.000 He must be hungry.

01:52:32.000 Wow.

01:52:33.000 So you're saying that they want to have a company?

01:52:35.000 Look, I know that Chicago sold the rights to their parking to a private corporation.

01:52:40.000 Oh my goodness.

01:52:40.000 And then when you get a ticket, they would just say, oh, we're not responsible for that.

01:52:44.000 That's a private company.

01:52:46.000 So what?

01:52:47.000 Wait, who?

01:52:48.000 Wait, what do you mean?

01:52:49.000 Who says they're not responsible?

01:52:50.000 The city.

01:52:51.000 Oh.

01:52:51.000 The city would be like... And you have no way to contest it?

01:52:54.000 It creates this convoluted system where a private company determines whether or not you're in violation of their parking, but then the city enforces it.

01:53:01.000 That's freaky.

01:53:01.000 So if you're disputing it, it's like a private dispute, but enforced by the state.

01:53:05.000 I don't like that.

01:53:06.000 That's fascism.

01:53:07.000 Shouldn't be allowed.

01:53:08.000 Well, it seems like oligarchy a little bit, doesn't it?

01:53:13.000 I don't know if it's still that way because I haven't been in Chicago in a very, very long time.

01:53:16.000 I left 16 years ago, was it?

01:53:19.000 Man, it's been a long time.

01:53:22.000 16?

01:53:22.000 No, it was, I think, yeah, 16 years ago.

01:53:25.000 I actually was recently in Chicago, but only just for one night.

01:53:29.000 No, 15 years ago.

01:53:30.000 And I went to the Art Institute after all the planes stopped working in Milwaukee.

01:53:34.000 That was a great museum.

01:53:36.000 Really exceptional.

01:53:37.000 Chicago's got some of the best food.

01:53:38.000 Yeah, I had good dinner and I had a good museum day.

01:53:41.000 Gibson's.

01:53:42.000 I didn't do that.

01:53:43.000 I was just right for the museum, but it was lovely.

01:53:45.000 Gibson's is one of the best steakhouses ever, but it's very expensive.

01:53:49.000 But they have, I don't know if they still do, but they had a place called Hot Dogs that was very famous.

01:53:53.000 That doesn't exist anymore.

01:53:54.000 And they, it was exotic hot dogs.

01:53:56.000 So they had just, they had foie gras hot dogs.

01:53:59.000 I don't know, I never had that one. 0.99

01:54:00.000 Damn. 0.99

01:54:00.000 They had snake. 0.99

01:54:01.000 Excessive.

01:54:02.000 They had elk, alligator or whatever.

01:54:04.000 I've had elk.

01:54:05.000 And there's a, Kuma's Corner was right there as well.

01:54:07.000 And that's also a famous place.

01:54:08.000 That's very different from like Gray's Papaya, where it's literally just a hot dog.

01:54:13.000 It's kind of crazy, you know, growing up in Chicago, we always wondered why Chicago didn't have great culture, why all the music and sports and celebrities were East Coast, West Coast.

01:54:24.000 But I didn't really think about it until, you know, I was in my 20s that Chicago is notorious for its food.

01:54:29.000 It's culinary universities and things like that, plus the taste of Chicago.

01:54:34.000 Chicago's culture is food culture.

01:54:36.000 That's like Philly.

01:54:37.000 Philly's culture is very food culture.

01:54:39.000 And giardiniera doesn't exist outside of Chicago and I nearly had a heart attack when I first found that out.

01:54:43.000 Really?

01:54:44.000 It exists at Potbelly?

01:54:45.000 Yeah, they call it hot peppers.

01:54:47.000 When I went to New York and I went to a bodega and I was like, can I get a roast beef sub with giardiniera?

01:54:51.000 And the guy was like, uh, what?

01:54:53.000 And I was like, roast beef sub with giardiniera.

01:54:55.000 And he was like, kid.

01:54:57.000 And he was like, what do you, he's like, what do you want?

01:54:59.000 What do you want?

01:54:59.000 What?

01:54:59.000 And he's like, point to it, point to it.

01:55:01.000 And I pointed to the hero roll.

01:55:03.000 And I said, uh, this roast beef Giardiniera.

01:55:06.000 And he goes, okay, you want a roast beef hero?

01:55:08.000 I don't know what Giardin... What did you call it?

01:55:09.000 I don't know what that is.

01:55:10.000 And I was like, well, I don't, I don't know what I'll... What is Giardiniera?

01:55:13.000 He doesn't love some spicy cauliflower.

01:55:15.000 It's like lots of vegetables.

01:55:17.000 Cauliflower, carrots, celery, and jalapenos, and oil.

01:55:19.000 So good.

01:55:20.000 That sounds good.

01:55:20.000 Yeah.

01:55:21.000 And I'm like, I don't know what to tell you, because if you don't know what it is, what do I tell you?

01:55:25.000 I was like, it's a mix of pickled vegetables, I guess, and oil.

01:55:29.000 Well, we don't have that.

01:55:30.000 I'm like, okay.

01:55:30.000 In New York, you'd kind of call that like, what?

01:55:32.000 I mean, there's Chinese pickled vegetables and there's like antipasto.

01:55:36.000 They call it hot peppers at Potbelly's.

01:55:39.000 So because Potbelly's popped up everywhere, you can go there and buy the jars and that's how you get it.

01:55:44.000 So I actually had to special order a bunch of jars from Chicago so we could have it here.

01:55:47.000 And actually, we haven't brought it back over, so we need to get it.

01:55:51.000 But it's great.

01:55:51.000 Giardiniera pizza's my favorite.

01:55:53.000 All right, let's grab some more instead of talking about food.

01:55:56.000 Let's go.

01:55:58.000 NYBSFP says, RFK's response to Tucker on January 6th should alarm everyone.

01:56:02.000 That did not sound like an ally.

01:56:03.000 What did he say?

01:56:04.000 I didn't hear.

01:56:04.000 Yeah.

01:56:05.000 Let's look it up.

01:56:06.000 No?

01:56:06.000 I don't know.

01:56:07.000 Maybe we'll pull it up on the members only.

01:56:08.000 I don't know.

01:56:09.000 He probably was like, maybe said something about democracy being at stake.

01:56:14.000 I can imagine that.

01:56:17.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chits. 0.83

01:56:20.000 Michael Villafana says you should have a Selective Service number to vote.

01:56:24.000 Agreed.

01:56:26.000 I don't know if that's the absolute solution, but my proposal is that if you want to vote in this country, you have to sign up for Selective Service.

01:56:33.000 I think that solves all the problems.

01:56:35.000 Yep, so basically the way it works is this.

01:56:37.000 It's quite simple.

01:56:37.000 A lot of people said, no, I don't want to get drafted just so I can vote.

01:56:40.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:56:41.000 The only people who can vote are the only people who can be drafted.

01:56:45.000 That means they'll always vote against it.

01:56:47.000 Right, that makes sense.

01:56:49.000 We're going to go to war and you're going to do it. 1.00

01:56:50.000 Do you want to vote?

01:56:50.000 No, no war.

01:56:51.000 I'm not interested.

01:56:54.000 But we don't get to vote on war, they just do it. 0.94

01:56:56.000 Well, we don't declare a war either, we're just sort of there and spending lots of money.

01:56:59.000 We don't use people for war either anyway, since Iraq and Afghanistan, we use hybrid war.

01:57:03.000 We use sanctions, drones, mercenaries.

01:57:07.000 Yeah, PMCs.

01:57:07.000 Look at Ukraine.

01:57:08.000 These other people.

01:57:13.000 Volunteers.

01:57:15.000 That's the most psychotic thing. 1.00

01:57:16.000 Watching these videos of these people, these people are despicable scumbags. 1.00

01:57:20.000 And they've got big YouTube channels, and they're like, here's us operating in Ukraine, and here's what we are doing, and I'm like, you are an enemy of this country, and you are a scumbag. 1.00

01:57:28.000 But you know what? 1.00

01:57:28.000 Those poor Ukrainians. 1.00

01:57:31.000 I think Ukraine is an enemy of the United States. 0.98

01:57:34.000 It wasn't always the case.

01:57:35.000 The U.S.

01:57:36.000 basically was involved in supplanting what the country actually was.

01:57:42.000 But it was a deeply corrupt country to begin with.

01:57:44.000 Now we are — Zelensky has no interest in the United States.

01:57:48.000 He's completely self-interested.

01:57:50.000 The United States is using Ukraine as a proxy for their war.

01:57:53.000 Volunteers are fighting.

01:57:54.000 Of course, Russia doesn't believe this, but Ukraine is causing all of these problems, working with the deep state, working with the establishment. 0.77

01:58:01.000 And the British.

01:58:02.000 It's always the British. 0.99

01:58:03.000 Absolutely.

01:58:03.000 It's always MI6.

01:58:05.000 So I consider Ukraine an enemy of these United States. 0.79

01:58:08.000 They are not us.

01:58:09.000 They are not our allies.

01:58:10.000 We have no business being involved there.

01:58:11.000 They invaded Russia. 0.70

01:58:13.000 Russia blames us. 0.97

01:58:14.000 And now we're on the hook for a nuclear war because Ukraine's scumbaggery? 1.00

01:58:18.000 Now don't get me wrong. 1.00

01:58:19.000 I know the United States is pressuring all of this and implementing all of this with their stupid policies over gas and energy. 0.98

01:58:23.000 But Ukraine takes responsibility. 0.99

01:58:25.000 It is what it is.

01:58:28.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:58:30.000 Alright.

01:58:31.000 Jerry, uh, oh here, I'll read Jerry next.

01:58:33.000 Jason Hutchinson says, War is an extrajudicial death sentence.

01:58:37.000 War crimes is a trope. 0.68

01:58:38.000 War is the crime. 0.93

01:58:39.000 Ah.

01:58:40.000 Well, it depends.

01:58:44.000 You can defend yourself.

01:58:45.000 That's always allowed.

01:58:46.000 Yeah.

01:58:46.000 If we got invaded, yeah, I'd be standing up and saying, where do you need me, right?

01:58:52.000 If a bunch of boats landed on the shores of, you know, just south of D.C., and then there was an emergency call to action, and some function of government said, everyone, we need your help, we are being attacked, I'd say, what can I do?

01:59:03.000 What can I do best?

01:59:04.000 But that's not what this is.

01:59:06.000 The United States sends our brave men and women who are willing to fight those fights to foreign countries.

01:59:11.000 For what?

01:59:12.000 To enforce the petrodollar? 0.99

01:59:13.000 It's just pathetic. 0.98

01:59:15.000 That's what 9-11 was supposed to be, right? 0.97

01:59:17.000 It got a lot of brave young men and women to run full speed to their recruiting office because they wanted to help this country because we were attacked.

01:59:23.000 It sure did.

01:59:25.000 And not the people I'm talking about.

01:59:25.000 Evil, man.

01:59:27.000 What about your mandatory year of civil service?

01:59:30.000 I don't mind the idea, but it just means that corrupt powers control the civil service. 0.96

01:59:35.000 And if you have a conscription, you'll always get people like George W. Bush or whoever who's elite, and they can draft, dodge.

01:59:42.000 I think that there's a lot of functions we should implement that would put an end to a lot of the foreign conflict.

01:59:42.000 Yeah.

01:59:51.000 But I think there's actually a really simple thing we can do that doesn't restrict anybody, and that's that ballots are all blank.

01:59:57.000 Where you have to put it down.

01:59:58.000 You have to write it in?

01:59:59.000 That's how it used to be.

02:00:00.000 I don't know when they changed it.

02:00:02.000 It's like you have to be an educated voter.

02:00:06.000 Right, and so during the Civil War people like to say...

02:00:10.000 Oh, did you know that Abraham Lincoln wasn't on the ballot?

02:00:13.000 The Democrats kept him off the ballot because they didn't want him on?

02:00:15.000 No, there was no ballot at the time.

02:00:18.000 The way people voted was you'd go in and you'd write down who you want and you put it in a box.

02:00:22.000 Voting was, the parties would print out papers showing all their candidates and they would give them to people and say, hey, use this, write your name on it, sign it, and these are the names you want to vote for or something to that effect.

02:00:34.000 So it was private ballots.

02:00:36.000 Then at some point we have now public government ballots, which restrict the amount of people who can appear on it, and then we put D and R next to their names.

02:00:44.000 No, no, no, no.

02:00:45.000 Everybody gets a universal mail-in vote.

02:00:47.000 Everybody can vote.

02:00:47.000 Don't know, don't care, but they're all blank.

02:00:49.000 If you don't know who you're voting for, you ain't voting.

02:00:51.000 And that solves a lot of the problems.

02:00:52.000 I'd love to see who ends up for fun, like, written in.

02:00:55.000 Oh, it's gonna be some libertarian!

02:00:57.000 The winner will always be an ideological populist.

02:01:01.000 And that's why they won't let that happen.

02:01:02.000 Would we have had President Ron Paul that way?

02:01:05.000 I think we probably would have.

02:01:06.000 The Ron Paul revolution in 2008 was massively viral, and if you didn't know who you were voting for, Ron Paul likely would have won.

02:01:14.000 And his name is easy to spell.

02:01:15.000 His name is easy to spell.

02:01:15.000 That's what I think the Democrats would do.

02:01:16.000 They would just start picking people with really simple names.

02:01:19.000 Yep.

02:01:19.000 It would be like, Guy Wynn.

02:01:22.000 And they'd be like, easy to remember.

02:01:23.000 How many Joe Smiths would they field? 0.50

02:01:25.000 Yep.
