The IRS lays off thousands of workers, the Army says no more transgender troops, and Bill Burr says he wants to kill billionaires. Plus, a new episode of the Green Room and a crazy story about a guy who thinks someone is trying to kill him.
00:00:44.000There was protests in D.C. from federal workers being like, you can't take our jobs away.
00:00:48.000And it's just like, yo, I think Trump may have moved a little too early on this one because I would have loved for Democrats to defend literal tax collectors.
00:00:58.000But to be fair, it is tax season and Trump has Democrats actually defending tax collectors.
00:01:04.000So I think the rest of the meeting around 9...
00:01:52.000Last night we had Nate Kane on the show, and it was funny.
00:01:56.000I was talking to Allison earlier, and I mentioned this guy Nate Kane is a whistleblower who said he blew the whistle on some of the stuff Hillary Clinton had been doing.
00:02:07.000The lug nuts on his wheels and his car, they had been removed, and he almost crashed.
00:02:12.000Like, his kid noticed the car was shaking.
00:02:15.000And I was talking to Allison, and she was like...
00:02:17.000It was really hard to concentrate when we were playing Magic the other day because I kept trying to listen to what he was saying because it was so insane.
00:02:30.000You guys can go to timcastpremium.com to sign up for Rumble Premium and watch that behind-the-scenes Green Room episode where he basically talks about how...
00:02:39.000Someone was trying to kill him, it sounds like, I guess.
00:02:41.000But we do have another episode that'll be up tonight with Roman Nation, of course.
00:03:09.000Our normal sales, we expect to sell, like, 5,000 bags of one brand of coffee in, like, six months to a year, and Ian did that in a month, and now we're going on month two of the year, and he's already sold, I believe, around 3,000 or 4,000 bags.
00:03:26.000They say, please know Ian over and over and over again, but people, maybe they're buying it because they know it's going to put them through college, and they're hoping that's the case.
00:03:33.000Don't forget, my friends, we have a big sponsor tonight.
00:03:36.000Shout out to NetSuite, Oracle NetSuite.

00:06:30.000So we want to do that with the coffee shops, but the first thing we'll do is we'll create a digital space where the people who watch this show can hang out with each other when we're not having the show, and it's been a smashing success.
00:06:40.000There's over 20,000 people are in it, and you guys are there.
00:06:44.000There's, Sienoski has a show, the white part.
00:07:20.000Here's the story from the Washington Post, ladies and gentlemen.
00:07:23.000On this, the most auspicious of February 14th, as we are entering into the depths of tax season, layoffs to hit IRS as Doge targets tax collections.
00:08:31.000Go to the IRS and say, and now we want to stop them from taking your money.
00:08:35.000Because then when the Democrats come out and say, we must protect the IRS, you go, the people that took my money for Pakistani gender studies?
00:08:47.000The Trump admin is expected to begin layoffs of thousands of employees at the IRS. Six people briefed in the matter said as billionaire Elon Musk team begins to target tax collections.
00:08:56.000Treasury officials have discussed laying off roughly 9,000 employees still in their probationary period as part of broader dismissals across the government of recently hired workers, according to the six people who spoke in the condition of anonymity, to reveal internal conversations.
00:09:10.000I suppose my question to all of you is who dare would defend the IRS?
00:09:21.000What's funny about it is, for as long as I can remember, not even just talking politics, but if you're talking amongst friends, movies and television, it's not like you've ever seen anybody give a positive portrayal of an IRS agent.
00:09:34.000There was a show called Warehouse 13 where their cover in the show is their IRS agents and they don't know that at first.
00:09:40.000So everyone in the town hates them and they have no idea why and it's when they find out they all work for the Internal Revenue Service so everybody in town just hates them on principle.
00:09:48.000Yeah, I mean that makes perfect sense.
00:09:50.000But now we are seeing people actually get tricked.
00:09:54.000It's almost probably out of necessity because they know that ideologically they're not allowed to speak out of line.
00:10:01.000So they don't want to actually talk positive about the IRS, but they understand that they will be looked down upon by their cohorts if they do so.
00:10:09.000So I can't speak for how people get this mindset, but there is a segment of the population that I think genuinely does believe the government is a good thing, net positive.
00:11:02.000If they didn't believe that, or at least I find it difficult to square that circle that they don't believe the government is inherently good, but they want more of it.
00:11:25.000They know the government is destructive.
00:11:28.000They know that it's extracting resources for the people.
00:11:30.000They know that it's being spent on garbage, and they want to accelerate the U.S. into destruction.
00:11:35.000They say this, from the ashes of the old, we shall build anew.
00:11:38.000They don't want to protect, clean, and preserve.
00:11:43.000A wound on America that they bandaged with social spending, never cleaned and disinfected, and slapped more bandages on top of it's gone gangrenous.
00:11:53.000And the socialist strategy is don't let anyone know, let it rot and fall off.
00:11:57.000And the Trump strategy is we need to go to the hospital immediately and clean this up.
00:12:01.000It's going to hurt, but it has to be done.
00:12:03.000I don't believe for a second, even the people who are just like zealously anti-Elon and Trump, they don't know or care about wasteful spending.
00:12:44.000So the tinfoil there is that Elon's really in the business of stealing up people's identities because he's going to create new AIs for them.
00:12:55.000Facebook is posting all sorts of, like, AI profiles now to the market.
00:13:00.000How based would it be if it turned out that Elon was actually trying to enact the plot from Westworld?
00:13:06.000Where he takes everyone's identity and turns them into AI versions of themselves and puts them in robot bodies.
00:13:11.000See, I like the idea that he creates the AI of you and it's just a better version of who you are and then he presents it to you like, oh, don't you want to be this person?
00:13:19.000He's already a better version of you anyways.
00:13:25.000I've been saying I want to do short films for so long because we need a film producer so that we can literally make the short film of Phil answers his door and Elon is standing there with another version of Phil.
00:13:53.000So then the real Phil has to be like, maybe those IRS agents weren't all that bad anyways, because now I've been taken over by an AI. Why would the real Phil have to say that?
00:14:02.000No, I'm saying because if he tases you and they lock you up and bring the AI in here, then you've got to get free.
00:14:07.000And they're like, okay, maybe those IRS agents weren't that bad.
00:14:11.000Sure, they were trying to steal my money, but they weren't trying to lock me in a basement and put an artificial intelligence in my place.
00:14:26.000With a team of government employees going to the IRS, I'm like, oh man, I wonder what kind of waste, fraud, and abuse they're going to find.
00:14:32.000Democrats are like, he and his team of hackers are going to steal my identity for nefarious purposes.
00:14:38.000It is the conspiratorial thinking that dark MAGA Elon wants to steal your tax information and identity for some reason.
00:14:48.000Maybe he wants to feed it into Grok, and he's like, once I get all of the tax information and data on people, I can make Grok very smart and defeat China.
00:15:01.000It's kind of a mark as to just how partisan someone is right now because you can talk about the people that are left versus right, but the people in the middle should not be looking at this in any type of negative fashion.
00:15:12.000And somebody who says that they're either not a Republican or says I'm not a Democrat, if you're a true independent, there's nothing about what Elon Musk is doing right now that could be seen as anything other than awesome.
00:15:24.000But I'm just surprised by the amount of people that are proving themselves to be kind of ideologically poisoned.
00:15:31.000Are there people that are politically disconnected that would look at the government and say, No, everything's going great.
00:15:44.000And I think that if we make it smaller, that'll be a bad thing.
00:15:48.000And I think everybody pays just about the right amount of taxes.
00:15:52.000And I think everything's just going swimmingly.
00:15:57.000Again, these are people that I cannot...
00:15:59.000I can't even create this phony person in my mind.
00:16:03.000Also, it has a lot to do with, like, we talk about the amount of wasteful spending overseas, but it's not just about the amount of money that we're wasting overseas.
00:16:10.000It's the fact that bad things keep happening here, and they can't ever do anything about it.
00:16:15.000There's natural disasters every six months, and they're like, whoop, sorry, we have no money for you.
00:16:19.000If they were taking care of the people here, and there were things being done properly, you could at least understand that somebody who's super statist is like, look, they're taking care of us.
00:19:31.000I mean, I don't know if those are the people that I imagine are online.
00:19:34.000Like, that person I imagine is too busy going to work, coming home, and living their life than going on Twitter to argue with somebody about why the IRS is...
00:20:09.000Well, let's jump to this next story from NPR. Layoffs accelerated federal agencies with more cuts to come.
00:20:16.000Oh boy, it's not just the IRS. They're coming for everything.
00:20:19.000The Pentagon and Department of Housing and Urban Development are gearing up for budget cuts and staff reductions while layoffs hit employees.
00:20:24.000And Department of Agriculture, the CDC... The Environmental Protection Agency, multiple sources told NPR. But wait!
00:20:34.000Forbes says as 200,000 recent hires could be affected by these layoffs.
00:20:40.000My understanding was that Trump basically said anybody on probation is fired, right?
00:20:44.000Oh, they're saying 2,000 probationary employees at the Department of Energy are going to be fired.
00:22:10.000I do imagine that there's at least a contingent on the left that, even if you're not necessarily politically inclined, I imagine there's a lot of women who hear about 200,000 people losing their job, and they just don't like the idea of people losing their job, not realizing that that is your money that's paying for it, or at least not really connecting that those things go hand in hand.
00:22:30.000I mean, look, there's the idea, and as an abstraction of shrinking the government, most people are like, yeah, I dig it.
00:23:00.000That's why cutting the government is so hard.
00:23:03.000There's not only are there anecdotes that you're going to hear of people that were hurt because it is going to hurt people's lives.
00:23:10.000An honest estimation of cuts in the government means that people are going to have to have significant changes in their lives because they're going to have to change their jobs and stuff.
00:24:32.000Not just that, but you can only imagine what happens if you don't.
00:24:37.000We haven't gotten to that point yet, but if we do and we default on whatever money or taxes or anything that we bring in, then what happens?
00:24:49.000We've never been at that point yet, and I think...
00:24:52.000Well, that's because the Federal Reserve keeps printing.
00:26:15.000They spend your money through the creation of money, through creating debt on paper, or through just literally signing away debt, and then they're like, we've got to pull more money out because we spent too much.
00:26:27.000Another thing about this is if you look at the amount of people that are getting laid off, it's kind of like we were talking about before the show about Elon Musk.
00:26:35.000phil when we were on pcc earlier like elon musk goes in and he buys twitter and he fires like almost everybody but it's not like the app stopped working for people and for most of us we understand that despite all of these layoffs it's not going to prevent the government from working at the rate that it's working at now because it already doesn't work efficiently anyways yeah but weaponized empathy is a very very strong motivator when it comes to leftist politics
00:27:01.000so as far as articles to be written and stories to be told that are going to go a long way and kind of humanizing a lot of these people to people on the left it will work because they're not going to want to see a bunch of people out of the job even if in your pragmatic mind you know that something like this eventually has to happen because something has to give if we want to fix things well look on the bright side all of the deportees that are no longer here there's jobs oh exactly yeah
00:27:28.000I mean, these people that have been sitting around doing nothing.
00:27:33.000They now get to learn how to go do a real job, maybe.
00:27:59.000We say we're hanging out and I look at Phil and I'm like, man, we got some cleaners in here.
00:28:03.000And then we go on Google with having cleaners and it's like former IRS cleaning service and a bunch of IRS agents come and start mopping my floor.
00:29:27.000What they consider a secure job with a good pension and the ability to go up through the ranks, the whole GS, whatever it's called, the structure and stuff.
00:29:43.000You can get raises, you can get promotions and stuff if you just put your head down, do the job.
00:30:11.000And none of us want these people to not have that opportunity.
00:30:16.000But let's just be honest about the state of this government and the kind of people they've been hiring in the last decade is how many of them are actually having families.
00:30:26.000So they're not really doing the American dream, even though it's their own dream, right?
00:30:32.000Can't a certain amount, I imagine that a certain amount of the ones, especially if they're high enough up in the government, that they can go work private sector anyways, because that's where a lot of times if you're high enough up in the government, that's your exit strategy anyways.
00:30:44.000Let's jump to this next story from the New York Post.
00:30:47.000White House trolls illegal migrants with Valentine's Day card featuring Trump and Homan, we'll deport you.
00:30:53.000It says the White House, the White House X literally posted this.
00:30:58.000It says, roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally and we'll deport you.
00:31:03.000And it's angry Trump and Tom Homan on a pink card with hearts in the background.
00:31:13.000And there are people that are going to be all upset because it's mean, whatever.
00:31:16.000But it is a good thing to tell people from other countries it is a bad idea to come to the United States illegally.
00:31:24.000Like, that's something that we should all be able to say, yeah, it's a good thing to tell people don't come to the U.S. And it was a bad thing when Joe Biden was like, people should surge the border.
00:32:05.000I guess stodgy and tied to the rules in the same way.
00:32:09.000There's a bit of irreverence in all of this.
00:32:11.000So I kind of imagine that moving forward we might still see more of this stuff.
00:32:14.000It is a good thing that the Republican Party is – has – or at least the MAGA wing of the Republican Party has become actually adversarial.
00:32:25.000Or has allowed for a representation of the people in a way that is adversarial to the government.
00:32:32.000The reason we called it, so many people called it the Uniparty, was because the Democrats and the Republicans were both, at the end of the day, pro-government.
00:32:41.000The Democrats were pro-whatever the government wanted.
00:32:44.000The Republicans were pro-90% of what the government wanted.
00:33:09.000There's actual repealing of things, or at least attempts, like real, tangible attempts to shrink the government.
00:33:19.000Republicans now, they're going to have to look at a Donald Trump presidency, and the American people are going to say, at least the conservatives, the Republicans are going to say, this guy actually made cuts.
00:33:33.000And if they don't do that, there's going to be, there are going to be people that are going to say, look, we're not voting for that guy again because we know that Donald Trump, and it's not about, there are people that are going to hear this and think that I'm saying that Donald Trump is some kind of great guy or whatever.
00:33:49.000The point isn't that Donald Trump is great.
00:33:51.000It's that Donald Trump is doing the things that the conservatives have wanted for a long time.
00:33:57.000Every single conservative has talked about getting rid of the Department of Education.
00:34:01.000Donald Trump is making actual moves to attempt to get rid of the Department of Education.
00:34:07.000If there's no more, you can just talk about it and then get the votes and then continue to get the votes.
00:34:15.000And Donald Trump is proving that you can.
00:34:17.000There was a point we talked about like a year ago, Phil, where somebody put something through about dismantling the Department of Education and I rolled my eyes and I said, I hate it because a lot of times it feels like a form of virtue signaling and we know that it's not going to go anywhere.
00:34:33.000And you said to me, you said, no, it's good because you need to keep the idea alive that people believe that it's possible.
00:34:40.000You understand that it doesn't necessarily seem that in this moment that's going to happen.
00:34:44.000I don't remember who it was at that time that did that.
00:34:46.000But that was just like a year ago, and here we are actually seeing that come forward.
00:34:50.000And I said, I don't think we'll ever see that in my lifetime, and I was wrong.
00:34:55.000And again, I like the fact that Donald Trump is doing it, but it's not about Donald Trump the guy.
00:35:05.000Although it might be that Donald Trump is the only guy that could do this, that has the courage to do this.
00:35:10.000But anyone that would actually go in...
00:35:14.000And say, I'm going to make these cuts, I would be behind, right?
00:35:18.000Like, if you've got a guy like Rand Paul, Rand Paul doesn't have the charisma and he's probably not tall enough to ever be the president.
00:35:25.000But if Rand Paul got in, I would expect him to do these type of things because these are the kind of things that he would have been campaigning on.
00:35:32.000The reason I supported Rand Paul was because these are the kind of things that he was campaigning on.
00:36:19.000This is literally a libertarian's wet dream going on right now.
00:36:23.000And what Donald Trump is doing is he is doing textbook corporate project management.
00:36:33.000He's finding the people that can actually do the jobs that are needed to be done.
00:36:38.000He's bringing them together, getting him in the room, and the liberals on the left have excommunicated their top people.
00:36:47.000Tulsi, RFK, Elon, they all have their strengths.
00:36:52.000They all – and so once they've all come together, it's like, oh, I see what he's doing.
00:36:58.000It is fascinating how Democrats are attacking RFK Jr. There are these – there's a viral thread where they're like, here's a man who was running as a Democrat, then an independent, heavily critical of Trump.
00:37:08.000And when he tried to join Kamala Harris and got rejected, he went and bowed to Trump and now is some kind of MAGA hero.
00:37:13.000And I'm like, let's just rephrase that, OK, for you liberals out there.
00:37:19.000RFK Jr., who does not represent the majority or plurality of conservative right-wing views, decided to aid and assist them against Kamala Harris.
00:38:33.000And she said, I think Bernie's the right choice.
00:38:35.000They went after her in the DNC with pitchforks and torches for having done that.
00:38:41.000And they started calling her all these awful names.
00:38:43.000And boy, did Hillary want to destroy her.
00:38:46.000And she did all of that for Bernie, and then when it came time to get a position at DNI, Bernie voted against her because that man has no honor.
00:38:54.000Like you said, they don't have loyalty to any of the people there.
00:38:58.000They have loyalty to the party because they're not allowed to think outside of the party anyways.
00:39:02.000You're not allowed to hold any opinion that goes against what is mainstream DNC. And when she was then pushed back on and when she should have taken – she should have been the heir apparent in a lot of ways.
00:39:14.000and she destroys Kamala in that first debate back in 2020.
00:39:18.000And somehow in 2024, we end up with Kamala running for president and her on the other side.
00:39:24.000And anybody with a brain understands that it should have been the other way around.
00:39:29.000And that clip came back to haunt her so hard.
00:40:09.000You could have held out for more money.
00:40:12.000He was this working-class left populist hero.
00:40:15.000He makes just over $1 million off a book, and he buys his third summer home, and now all of a sudden he's like, whatever the Democrats say.
00:40:28.000No, Bernie back in the day was, and then they offered him, you know, the deal, and he took the deal, and I think that proves he's not ideologically possessed at all.
00:40:39.000AOC is not ideologically possessed either.
00:40:42.000AOC will say whatever the money tells her to say, as evidenced by, as soon as she got elected, she backtracked on Palestine.
00:40:50.000Yeah, these people are just kind of like, you mean my, look, I get it.
00:41:43.000I think that AOC is young enough and idealistic enough to think, if I stay in Congress and if I get into a position of leadership in Congress, I can make actual, real change, etc., etc.
00:41:58.000And possibly, I think she might actually have presidential aspirations.
00:42:02.000She's also somebody who has come across the aisle to join with things with people like Ted Cruz.
00:42:08.000Or Matt Gaetz with the stuff on the stock market.
00:43:03.000Anyway, the story picked up last night, but it's advanced a little bit as Tom Homan and Eric Adams appeared on Fox.
00:43:09.000And, well, President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan on Friday clashed with AOC over a webinar she hosted.
00:43:15.000Quote, let's pray that she is not educating the next murderer of a young college nursing student on how to evade arrest by ICE. Homan told Fox News on Friday, how many more young women have to be raped, murdered, and burned alive until she wakes up?
00:43:27.000Homan had said, at first on the Ingram angle, AOC, then, you know, she put out this tweet saying maybe she's going to be in trouble.
00:43:45.000We had to talk about it a little bit the other day.
00:43:46.000But interestingly, I think the narrative is moving in this direction.
00:44:42.000So cute winter boots, this is the code word or phrase that lefties are using to say basically, hey, or it's really icy out today, you know?
00:44:55.000It's very convenient of them to use that terminology, and that's what they're talking about.
00:45:00.000And so they're actively plotting to help people that they know are here without proper credentials in the States illegally.
00:45:09.000And so if you hear somebody in public saying, you know, cute winter boots.
00:45:22.000And then on top of that, what happens when the officers are trying to find a certain person and something bad happens because they were tipped off in the beginning?
00:45:32.000And who's going to be responsible for that?
00:45:45.000They're really trying to turn their town around.
00:45:48.000When the Trump administration decided that they were going to start talking about, you know, if you're somebody that's in a position of authority of power and you're assisting.
00:45:59.000With immigrants, illegal immigration, and it's not just if you're a mayor or if you own businesses.
00:46:17.000I went and I interviewed a tow truck driver, and it got 50,000 views.
00:46:22.000It's on our Roma Nation YouTube channel.
00:46:25.000And this tow truck driver was going on about, because they're rubber stamping at the DMV their licenses.
00:46:32.000And they're just flipping brand new cars over.
00:46:34.000Our government has been giving through the temporary protected status.
00:46:39.000Thousands of thousands of thousands of dollars to these immigrants.
00:46:43.000And these are people actually here legally because of the temporary protected status, which I think is getting rescinded or they're working on it.
00:47:00.000And so Springfield, Ohio, right now, they're trying to get some of their active citizens, get them on the council of their town so they can push these corrupt people out.
00:47:15.000So it's churches, it's NGOs, it's the temporary work service.
00:47:27.000There's like one guy that owns everything in the pipeline.
00:47:32.000To do it all, to get the money, and the hardest part for them to do is to track the money once it gets to the state level because not every state has the same reporting standards on the money that comes from DHS and CBP and all of that, which is where a lot of that cash is in FEMA because FEMA is under DHS, right?
00:47:56.000And a lot of it's hidden, and it's a huge money laundering scandal.
00:47:59.000And if Elon's out there listening to this, you need to go to places like Ohio and talk to people, talk to the congressman, get Jim Jordan, whoever it is that's in the place down there in, I think it's Clark County, that district.
00:48:50.000Bringing the migrants in there in the first place, if you go back to this, I think this is a magic year, 2014. So we need to figure out what the common thread is with 2014 because that's where all of the pardons start.
00:49:00.000That's when a lot of this illegal immigration schemes started in Clark County down there, and they cited population decline in that county.
00:49:08.000They're like, we need to replace this population to the tune of like 20, 30, 40,000 people, and guess how many people they've imported into that town?
00:49:47.000Take people that were looking for asylum, basically anyone that came here illegally, just give them the status of asylum seekers and to disperse them through the country so that way they can first, the first thing they want to do is change the census for 2030 because that would hopefully, what they're hoping for, is to change the makeup of the population so that way they can have a more Democrat.
00:50:16.000Or the Democrats can have a better chance of winning.
00:50:17.000And then eventually have these people get amnesty and have them become American citizens.
00:50:22.000And again, with the goal of having them vote Democrat.
00:50:26.000The goal was a one-party system here in the United States.
00:50:29.000And we were very, very close to having that be a result of these policies.
00:50:34.000And now that we have the revelations from the USAID stuff from Doge, that was all being funded by...
00:50:43.000The government was spending the American people's money, spending money that they printed up for these programs to affect the political outcomes in the United States.
00:51:06.000That's all BS. It was all a lie because they wanted to have a single party rule.
00:51:13.000And antithetical to what the United States is built on.
00:51:16.000And let's appeal to the humanitarian side of this.
00:51:21.000When we're complaining about people being brought here for labor purposes or for being milked for the NGO money, all of that funding, that's human exploitation.
00:51:35.000They're exploiting people from other countries and bringing them here and just loading them up with welfare money that eventually will dry up.
00:51:45.000And what happens then when you bring people to a country from a country – to a nice country from a country that has been destroyed systematically and through natural disasters like Haiti where they have diametrically opposed cultures.
00:51:59.000They're not brought here to assimilate.
00:52:01.000Like, Tim, I remember when you were over in Northern Europe, and you went into those ghettos, right?
00:52:06.000Or what they called the no-go zones, right?
00:52:09.000Where they had generations of people that came in that were not properly assimilated.
00:52:13.000That conversation you had in the bar with those guys, and I think it was one guy was from Germany there, that was really eye-opening.
00:52:20.000That's the very same thing we see in Springfield or in other parts around the country is where they brought here under pretenses of, oh, these are people we want to help them.
00:52:29.000Yes, they come from places that were torn or natural disaster torn, but then they're being exploited, which is horrific.
00:52:39.000Yeah, I mean, it's a really bad situation for all involved when it comes to the stuff at the illegalities that have been going on around the border.
00:52:52.000What I guess they don't care to understand or just don't understand is it's a generational problem.
00:52:57.000And one of the stories we got out of Sweden was in the city of Södertälje.
00:53:02.000There were the children of migrants who are now adults in a car with a guy standing up in the sunroof, opening fire with an automatic weapon on a bank.
00:53:12.000And these are the 20-year results of bringing in people and not providing.
00:53:22.000The problem is Swedes are all incredibly racist.
00:53:28.000And so when the government was trying to do this either economic thing or this like, look how noble we are thing.
00:53:37.000They ended up bringing in a bunch of people from Somalia who, when these people tried to get jobs, could not.
00:53:44.000Because the white Swedes didn't want to hire them.
00:53:46.000And it's really funny how hoity-toity and progressive they claim to be.
00:53:50.000And so what happens is these Somali refugees form enclaves in parts of the country where they all start moving around each other because that's the only way they could work and provide for each other because they were largely being dismissed.
00:54:02.000They have children who grow up in a Somali refugee enclave.
00:54:09.000They're not from Somalia, and white Swedes call them Somalis.
00:54:13.000Yeah, they're Swedish by nationality, but the Swedes, like, the Swedish people have been the Swedish people for a long time, and the nationality of those people, it's part of their culture and stuff.
00:55:01.000Swedish people did not tolerate Somali refugees.
00:55:03.000And it exacerbated this problem until we ended up with stories in the past decade or so.
00:55:11.000When I went to Sweden over this story with Trump, only a couple of months before we got there, Someone, for no reason, threw a grenade onto a balcony where there was an 8-year-old British child who was on vacation with the family and he got injured.
00:55:26.000I don't know exactly how severe the injury was, but it was a serious attack.
00:56:02.000We don't want the conflict, but this is what's been happening.
00:56:03.000That's the other concern in Springfield is that because of the temporary protected status, I went around to some – and I should have been – I should have did a video on it.
00:56:13.000I did go around to some of the gun shops because there was an interview with a girl who – Allegedly worked for a big-box store that sells firearms, and she was saying that because of their protected status, they could go in and just buy guns because they were here legally.
00:56:33.000So they are not – because they had paperwork and everything.
00:56:36.000I don't know how it works, but she said it was working that way, and I went around and I asked a couple of stores, and one guy was really terse with me.
00:56:45.000We made friends after a while and got talking, and I bought some ammo from him.
00:56:48.000But he was saying, look, if you can fill out this form, and he had a secondary form, he's like, you check this out, and at the bottom it says, if any of this, and it's basically a condensed.44-73, but he says, if you fail that check...
00:57:20.000That's, I mean, according to, I'm just Googling the, you doing the AI search, but according to the Brave AI, it says that Ohio residents must be U.S. citizens to legally purchase firearms.
00:59:12.000Bill Burr doesn't want to eat the rich, but he does want to kill them.
00:59:14.000The community went off on billionaires in a recent podcast episode, comparing them to rabid dogs who need to be put down.
00:59:21.000He made the comments on his Monday morning podcast, blaming billionaires for dividing the country, hoarding all the wealth and creating a situation where working people can't afford rent and need two jobs just to stay afloat.
00:59:30.000Bill Burr, of course, is one of the most deeply troubled and ignorant individuals in media.
00:59:35.000He may have a funny presentation, but boy, is this guy dumb.
00:59:37.000Yeah, he is one of the stupidest people I've ever had the displeasure of listening to, except that he makes funny jokes.
00:59:42.000He says that the widening wealth gap in America is bad for this country because parents have to work so much they'll never get to see their kids.
01:00:07.000Yeah, I mean, it's frustrating because...
01:00:09.000The people that Bill thinks that he's being compassionate about, those people look at billionaires and they look at Bill and they think they're both rich.
01:00:23.000And so this class warfare that he's fomenting, the people that he thinks he's on the side of...
01:00:37.000It's that Bill's just genuinely stupid.
01:00:39.000Because, like, any honest assessment of the current cultural divide in this country does not lead you to conclude that billionaires are all conspiring to make it happen.
01:01:05.000There's disparate special interests that have amassed power in a variety of different ways.
01:01:09.000Sometimes they collude together, but they are all in different areas.
01:01:13.000People like Bill Burr are just as stupid as the anti-Semitic people and just as stupid as the woke people who hate white people and the colonialism people.
01:01:24.000If you want to figure out which conspiracy cult to exist in, just figure out which group you hate the most.
01:01:29.000If it's the 1%, you can hang out with Occupy Wall Street and people like Bill Burr.
01:01:32.000If you're an anti-Semite, there's a group of white nationalist anti-Semites that are waiting for you.
01:01:36.000You can blame, if you hate white people or if you hate cis heteronormative patriarchy, that group exists.
01:01:42.000All of these groups want to put the entirety of all blame in a single group of people.
01:01:48.000And it doesn't actually play out their way.
01:01:50.000If Bill Burr took 10 seconds to even Google search how basic economics worked, he'd be like, oh, that makes literally no sense that I just said that.
01:01:58.000He says in the clip, he says that there's so much being produced in this country and there's so much money being made in this country that it's abhorrent that all of this stuff is happening.
01:02:08.000Amazon may be making billions upon billions of dollars every year, but what you should be asking the question is, is why are you on your income not able to make a living and then wonder why you're being taxed so much and so little of that money is coming back to you in a way that's actually effective?
01:02:37.000You got billionaires that are pro-Trump.
01:02:39.000You got billionaires that are anti-Trump.
01:02:41.000Sometimes the billionaires switch their positions.
01:02:43.000They are not fomenting or doing any kind of crackpot conspiracy.
01:02:46.000Half of them don't even understand politics.
01:02:48.000Zuckerberg doesn't know or care about politics.
01:02:50.000He's just milling about whatever the CIA tells them to do.
01:02:53.000Well, and most of them, anyways, as you know, if you look at any of these companies, granted, we're seeing a large shift right now in policies from, like, tech companies that are seeming to move slightly the other direction as the pendulum swings.
01:03:07.000They gave to both parties, assuming that they're going to try and get favors in return by giving to both of them.
01:03:13.000But when he talks about all of this, he's talking about as if there's three or four people that are causing all of these problems.
01:03:19.000It's just far more complicated than that.
01:03:21.000Yeah, it's the same thing when they talk about taxes, too.
01:03:23.000It's like, oh, well, they need to pay their fair share, but yet their best option would be for you to pay less taxes rather than that guy pay more.
01:03:31.000If the idea here is that you feel wrong done by, it's not that you want this other guy to be as wrong done by as you were.
01:03:38.000The idea is that they should do less to you and less to him as well.
01:03:42.000They should take less of your money and less of his money rather than trying to take more of his money to even out the score so that you feel as if both of you got screwed equally.
01:03:51.000He says it himself that he thinks it's a zero-sum game.
01:03:55.000The reason you're poor is because of someone else.
01:03:57.000It's really easy to convince people that are struggling that it's someone else's fault.
01:04:02.000Just like Tim was saying, you can find someone to blame very easily.
01:04:08.000He's just catering to the inclination, the people that already have an inclination to hate the rich.
01:04:18.000The thing that he's missing is he's the rich, too.
01:04:21.000The people that are billionaires, like we were talking about this morning, Elon Musk employs a lot of people at Tesla and SpaceX and all of the companies he owns.
01:04:31.000And Bezos employs a lot of people at Amazon.
01:04:35.000And the Walton family, they employ a lot of people at Walmart.
01:04:41.000All of those companies, or those three companies, make life possible for...
01:04:49.000What if you want to talk about, like, if he was more in-depth, he's like, what if we're talking about the people at BlackRock buying up all of the homes so that people don't have access to housing and then driving up the rent?
01:04:59.000There's a conversation to be had there, but he's not going to go that in-depth.
01:05:02.000That's the board, but the people that own BlackRock are like...
01:05:06.000Everybody that owns some kind of 401k, everybody that has their savings in the stock market, you know, if you own just the Dow, you know, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, you can buy that itself as a stock, then you own a piece of BlackRock.
01:05:20.000And if you own BlackRock stock, you own all this.
01:05:23.000So you're right, it's not as simple as just these guys are the bad guys.
01:05:28.000And they've turned billionaire with a B, like capital letter B, into a slur in a way, which is like, and it's so funny because we started with Bernie.
01:05:35.000The CEO that he killed was worth about $40 million.
01:06:01.000Rumor has it that Crystal Ball is also worth $40 million.
01:06:05.000The amount of money of $40 million, it's a lot of money.
01:06:09.000Real quick, what day did this podcast come out?
01:06:56.000So the principal rule, as someone who works in media and podcasting with a particularly large show, is that you cannot direct people to commit harm against another group of people.
01:07:04.000It may not cross into illegal territory.
01:07:09.000What would make something illegal is to direct a specific action.
01:07:12.000So if you said, I think this group of people, something should happen to it, like Bill Burr did, that's not illegal, but it violates every terms of service of every podcast platform.
01:07:37.000Do we believe it appropriate, based on this man going on his show and saying that a class of individuals should be murdered, how do we feel about...
01:07:49.000The left has no problem and had no problem for a very long time of attacking the advertiser and attacking the platform to get people that were their ideological opponents removed.
01:08:22.000I mean do you guys – I'm genuinely curious what y'all think.
01:08:25.000But that's what I'm getting at is like there was a time before cancel culture where people who had dumb opinions, we just said, whatever, he's saying a thing over there.
01:08:33.000Right, so the question then is not do we ignore it or I suppose you can say that that would fall into the just let him advocate for this murder and we're not going to be involved in it.
01:08:58.000Put a one in the chat if we should engage in cancel culture and put a two in the chat if we should let Bill Burr call for whatever he wants to call for and just let him mind his own business.
01:09:09.000I'm not saying – that's why I didn't name the sponsors or mention which platform or anything like that.
01:09:12.000And this language that you're hearing right now, not just what he's saying but the othering of people that are more successful than you are is rampant in a lot of corners of the internet right now and in America in general.
01:09:24.000And he is, in a way, his talk about the degradation of the middle class is...
01:09:29.000I'm indicative of that mindset now, where when I look at this, I see there is a difference between the type of person who sees this person who's more successful than they are and sees them as somebody who has created something that they too can achieve and somebody who sees somebody who has created something that they just feel nothing but envy for.
01:09:48.000And you tend to find that the people who take the mindset that those who are more successful than me...
01:09:55.000Are somehow harming others have a very, very negative or sometimes violent mindset, and that is becoming more and more common these days because of ideas like eat the rich.
01:10:37.000I think he'd largely say a lot of the same things.
01:10:41.000I feel like he's just going to say what he thinks will catch him the biggest market share.
01:10:46.000Like there's no reason to go on a show and advocate for something like this unless you're looking at a target market that shares the opinion.
01:10:55.000He was on like one of the late night shows and claimed that people – he basically had the greatest straw man argument to the wildfires saying that people were saying that they were doing a bad job and making people seem like they were stupid for saying that things were going wrong when there was no water in the tanks.
01:11:41.000Some of our friends, It's Based, shout out to It's Based, they're another group, they're a group that actually came out of your Discord as well.
01:11:50.000Their guy is over in, I think it's actually Sweden, is where he's based out of, but most of his devs are here.
01:11:56.000And their whole campaign right now is this...
01:12:01.000And they're actively calling out gaming companies and some tech companies in the Linux realm for pushing trans stuff and saying, dude, get away from all of this.
01:13:47.000But when he was novel and kind of a provocateur and the Berkeley riots came around, there was a female professor who actively called for burning that place down before he came on.
01:14:01.000And I remember Glenn Beck talking about saying, look, that's textbook definition of terrorism because you're advocating for political gain at, you know, at the with violence.
01:14:12.000So I'm reading the comments on his podcast and.
01:14:16.000It's funny how there are a lot of people, one of them says, we need 300 more Luigis.
01:14:20.000There's people saying, like, Trump is racist.
01:14:23.000Here's a guy going on a show and saying, billionaires are dividing people, so then he calls for harm against them, and his commenters are all saying, yeah, screw Trump, F these people.
01:14:31.000I'm like, Bill, if you want to figure out who's dividing people, it's you.
01:16:53.000If we say the wrong thing on this podcast, the show gets taken off the air and YouTube will be on the phone with Tim and he'll get a strike.
01:21:16.000He's saying that Luigi should be freed for killing a dude who worked for UnitedHealthcare.
01:21:21.000This guy makes $40 million, works for a billion-dollar company.
01:21:24.000While Bill Burr is worth $20 million, works for Disney on Star Wars.
01:21:29.000While Disney has protesters outside of their most recent movie for Captain America with people saying that Disney commits genocide because they had an Israeli actress in the film.
01:21:38.000Is it really that hard to believe that some...
01:21:41.000Angry, angry person wouldn't see that as nearly the same thing.
01:21:45.000Bill, you dumb son of a bitch, they're gonna come get you too.
01:21:52.000Yeah, I mean, it's infuriating to hear him say that kind of stuff, because again, it is, like Tim was saying, it is just complete and total idiocy.
01:22:04.000It's the guy that has like an IQ, room temperature IQ, because again...
01:22:10.000The thing that really upsets people isn't poverty.
01:22:21.000So when there's someone that can't pay their bills and they're always struggling and they look and they see people that drive a decent looking car that doesn't have any rust on it a year, two years old, they see a rich guy.
01:22:35.000It doesn't matter that you're like, well, you know, I only make, you know, I only make, you know, 250,000 a year.
01:24:26.000If that 40-some percent of income was not being taken away, if I didn't have to work two days out of every week just to pay the government, even though I'm probably at the last year I'm going to get a tax return, but it's like, you know, that money would be there.
01:24:43.000That money would be there for my local government.
01:24:48.000As long as they're going where they're supposed to.
01:24:50.000If it's my local government that's saying, hey, we're actually going to fix that road that busted your ball joint.
01:24:58.000That thing that cost you an extra $400 that's also the equivalent of the tax for your property.
01:25:05.000Yeah, we're actually going to fix that.
01:25:07.000And if it actually got fixed and it stayed fixed and the roads got better, I don't know if anybody sat in a township meeting or a city council meeting.
01:26:41.000And the other issue with local governments and taxes and stuff, where I am in a township has just, a lot of times you have people that are very, like Ohio has a very independent voter base.
01:26:56.000They're very libertarian, especially where I am.
01:26:58.000And when you're talking about the expensive taxes with your local councilmen or your township people, especially townships, they don't have a lot of money.
01:27:07.000They don't have the ability to actually tax on income.
01:27:14.000And if you want… If you want your local governments to be better, if you want them to be accountable, you kind of got to go down to your local township meetings.
01:27:39.000But they don't – but all they want to do is sit on Facebook and complain about the township and not having the roads done or this, that, or the other.
01:27:46.000It's like, well, then you get out here and you come down to these meetings and listen to them and talk with people.
01:28:28.000If Elon Musk is having an effect on your life, it's because of stuff at Doge.
01:28:32.000Other than that, they don't affect your life.
01:28:34.000It doesn't matter how much money Zuckerberg has.
01:28:36.000These people, having a lot does not mean you have less.
01:28:41.000Especially if you're working a regular job trying to pay your bills, you're probably dependent on a billionaire or a millionaire because that's the guy that owns the company you work for.
01:28:55.000And without millionaires and billionaires that own the companies, I mean, look, your average dude that, or not average dude, but the average car dealership, like an actual, like a Buick dealership or a Ford dealership, those guys, that guy's probably a millionaire.
01:29:12.000You know, he's probably got a couple million.
01:30:00.000So, you know, a lot of these people who claim to be psychic are talking to deceased loved ones or something like this.
01:30:06.000They'll try and get information off of you or get you to give the information to convince you that they're talking to your grandfather, whatever.
01:30:13.000And then one of the most common things is they'll go, he's saying something about the money, that there's something wrong.
01:30:19.000Well, literally every person on the planet has something going on with money.
01:30:25.000It's like saying something is nearby water, because literally everything's by a body of water somewhere.
01:30:30.000Yep, yep, there's those tricks you can do.
01:30:32.000It's those TBN false prophets, the televangelists, you know?
01:30:36.000Exactly, and you can say something like, he's saying something about, you used to go to a body of water, and they're like, we'd go to the river and go fishing.
01:30:47.000When from Minnesota, there was 10,000 of them there, so I was bound to be by a lake at some point.
01:30:51.000I wonder if there's like a manual for that.
01:30:53.000Well, there's a TV show called The Mentalist, which you should watch, which is about a guy who used to fake being a psychic and then gives it up to go help the cops.
01:31:27.000It went off the air in 2015. Episodic TV is not my jam, generally.
01:31:32.000Bill Burr is the guy who went on Joe Rogan and was like, Joe, I turn the news on once every two weeks and do what they tell me to do.
01:31:39.000And it's just like, that's a terrible way to live, bro.
01:31:43.000If you live by that standard, you're drinking coffee one week and then you're doing coffee enemas the next and then you're swearing off coffee a week after that.
01:31:50.000When I was a kid, there was a famous Moment in news where, like, one week, they were like, a new report suggests this one special drink may cause cancer.
01:31:59.000And it was like a big deal that everyone was saying coffee could be causing cancer.
01:32:02.000And then a week later, they were like, could coffee prevent cancer?
01:32:09.000It's just two separate studies that they decide to make content out of.
01:32:12.000They're looking for news, like, slow news day, let's go with the coffee and mix cancer or whatever.
01:32:15.000And it's like, you can find whatever you want, that's what the media does, and Bill Burr is the guy who has no idea what he's talking about.
01:32:30.000I mean, again, in the climate that we're in, with the amount of political violence that's been going on, from the left, directed towards the right...
01:32:41.000Or at least directed towards targets the left considers the right.
01:32:45.000Because I don't even know what the politics of the CEO was.
01:32:49.000Maybe he was a fairly left-leaning Democrat guy.
01:32:52.000Maybe he wasn't a right-leaning dude at all.
01:32:55.000But the point is, those are the targets that the left targets.
01:33:55.000The joke in my circles was that the goth kids that we hung out with, the emo kids, just traded in all their black for plaid, became the hipster, the leftist hipsters.
01:34:06.000And it went on and on and on, and then they traded eventually their genitals in some cases.
01:34:12.000And it's like those are the people now that when they think – Trump is literally Hitler and that Elon Musk is the next Goebbels or whatever.
01:37:06.000More attention should be given to people in good shape and less attention should be given to people that are too fat to ride in Ubers and the like.
01:37:15.000I mean, look at what happened with Lizzo.
01:38:10.000That'll redirect you to Rumble Premium.
01:38:11.000Where if you use promo code TIM10, I have to say it like that because when I said TIM10, people spelled T-E-N. It is TIM10. You get $10 off your annual subscription.
01:38:20.000And we have a new Green Room episode up tonight.
01:38:23.000Not to mention the last several Green Room episodes have been just very good, very entertaining.
01:39:06.000Alex Weinstein was on Joe Rogan talking about how we need to be careful about some of these programs that existed pre-DEI because there's one specifically there that is to gain access to legitimately disadvantaged people and vets and whatnot to the industry.
01:39:27.000So when it comes to all of that, now you have big corporations that are just money-hungry.
01:39:33.000We have to watch out for the weaponized confirmation bias, right?
01:39:37.000Yeah, let's just cut everything down, and we don't stop to go, well, let's see how many of these programs are legitimate, and if they are being a bit discriminatory, if they're doing more good than harm, let's actually fix them instead, because now you have people in Alaska who generally benefit from these programs, are being targeted by big corporations.
01:39:57.000So let's ask the question sometimes before we just say...
01:40:01.000All right, Big G says, So, this morning on the culture war, Myron Gaines was of the position that men should never show emotion in front of their women, girlfriend or wife.
01:40:20.000And, you know, I was talking to my wife about this, and my attitude was like, I gotta be honest.
01:40:28.000Everybody agrees if you're a man who cries in front of anyone over something nonsensical like you got yelled at at work, no one's going to respect that.
01:40:35.000And to be honest, if a woman was crying because her boss was mean to her, most guys wouldn't respect that.
01:40:40.000But I also kind of feel like if you're a dude who is scared about what other people might think of you if you show your emotions, I think that's weaker than just crying.
01:40:48.000So that's why my position is guys can cry if they feel they have to, and there's reasonable times you can cry.
01:40:57.000I describe it as, yeah, if a dude came back from work and he was like, my boss was made to be in front of him, you'd be like, geez, calm down.
01:41:04.000But if a dude watched, like, his dog die or his son die or something, and he's standing there at a funeral crying, no one's going to assume he's weak.
01:41:12.000In fact, I actually describe it like this.
01:41:15.000If you walked up to a man who was crying because his son died, and he was with his wife, and you chuckled and said, this guy's such a weak...
01:42:11.000That's the epitome of men in the moment just leaking out that pain and trying to force it into a place where it's appropriate.
01:42:20.000But just to clarify the difference of like...
01:42:22.000A guy who's crying over a spilled glass of milk and a man whose best friend died in front of him.
01:42:27.000I would warn any person to, like, assume that man is weak because in that moment of blind rage, you end up with stories where, like, that dude's son was raped and he went to the airport when they were doing the transport and he put a bullet in that guy's head.
01:42:43.000Well, I don't condone vigilante violence because the problem with it is the same as the death penalty.
01:42:47.000Like, sometimes people get things wrong, and when you advocate for action like that, what happens when you're like, oops, an innocent person just lost their life?
01:42:55.000So, that being said, we'll grab some more Super Chats.
01:42:58.000All right, we got Jason Dixon, who says, Tim, I have a great guest suggestion, or wait, you have him on your show already.
01:43:08.000All right, so I'm going to read, let's see, we've got one, two, three, four, five, six, and we've got a bunch of superchats I want to read.
01:43:13.000Jason Dixon superchats, Roman Nation, Roman Nation, Roman Nation, Roman Nation.
01:44:17.000He says, if you wish to network and find like-minded people, join Timcast.com, join the Discord and community, network, and become the next Roman nation.
01:44:28.000I mean, this is what we were hoping to accomplish by, you know, with Timcast.com, we're trying to find ways to make it extremely valuable to be a member.
01:44:35.000But the one thing we always talk about is community is the most important thing.
01:44:38.000Like I say, founding fathers met in bars and pubs, shared these ideas.
01:44:42.000That's why free speech is so important.
01:44:44.000When we lost the church, that was where people met once a week to share those cultural ideas.
01:44:49.000I said, we should do these coffee shops so that you have a place where you know if you go to hang out, there's going to be like-minded individuals because they know what Cast Brew is.
01:44:57.000And then we were like, we'll start off with the Discord server.
01:45:00.000I was kind of reluctant to even do something like that, but after a conversation, we were like, let's make it work.
01:45:07.000If we get some good moderation in there, make a community.
01:45:31.000Raymond was like, here's some toasters.
01:45:33.000That spontaneous interaction brought to the point we actually need a toaster, something that wouldn't have happened if that interaction didn't occur.
01:45:42.000And oftentimes, ideas in businesses are born just through people communicating with each other.
01:45:48.000So if you have millions of people watching Timcast IRL, but they're all in their little spaces, nothing can happen.
01:46:02.000And if one person says, I have a toaster, and one person says, I have a Pop-Tart, and one person says, I have butter, you now have the makings of three people making a video where they put butter on Pop-Tarts.
01:46:12.000And now it never would have happened without it.
01:46:16.000Yeah, not only that, but that's exactly how I came up with the idea of this show.
01:46:21.000Myself and Taylor, Taylor's actually one of the hosts of Sunset Rants, which is one of my other shows right there.
01:46:28.000And we were sitting down and just talking about the world and how it is now, and it was right after the Biden election.
01:46:35.000And I felt bad because a lot of people don't get hurt, or they don't get the proper information that they need because it's either extreme on one side or extreme on the other.
01:46:47.000So what I said was, well, why isn't there some rise of the middle?
01:48:41.000A lot of people, you know, but the key component to anyone who succeeds in any media space as an independent is they're, to a certain degree, good at marketing.
01:48:50.000Whether it's really, really good or just kind of okay, they have that element on their team that can do that marketing, right?
01:48:57.000And don't get me wrong, YouTube falsely props up some political factions, if you know what I mean, but...
01:49:03.000All right, let's grab some more Super Chats while we're here, and we'll grab some Rumble Rants while we're here as well.
01:49:10.000Doxing Debo says, do illegal criminal aliens have constitutional rights?
01:49:21.000The Constitution was, but the Bill of Rights put restrictions on the government that applies to anyone.
01:49:27.000So it is true, if you are in this country, as a human being, for any reason, at any point, the reason why constitutional rights will apply to you as well is...
01:49:37.000The government does not have the ability to determine whether or not you are or are not a citizen.
01:49:43.000If we told police you are allowed to infringe upon the rights of illegal aliens or if we said illegal immigrants have no rights.
01:49:52.000OK, what happens then is a cop can walk up to you and say, I'm going to assume you're not a citizen.
01:49:58.000Therefore, I'm now allowed to detain and deport you or arrest you.
01:50:06.000You have no—you have a Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure.
01:50:11.000If you want to be protected under the Fourth, that means illegal immigrants are as well because the police aren't allowed to search you for no reason.
01:50:20.000So that's just the way it's going to work.
01:50:22.000Now, I don't think they should be buying guns because they're criminals and there should be restrictions in that regard, despite the fact I think self-defense is a human right.
01:50:28.000But there's complicated discussions to be had there.
01:50:31.000I mean, look, the Constitution lays out the powers that the government has, but the Bill of Rights is a list of no's.
01:50:37.000So anything that the government's not allowed to do to American citizens, it is going to have to be that it's not allowed to do to non-US citizens, at least if they're inside the United States.
01:50:49.000There have been arguments about what the government's allowed to do and isn't allowed to do outside the borders of the US, but inside the US, if you are a human being in the US... The government has to abide by those rules because it's a list of no's for the government, not a list of no's for people.
01:51:06.000It's incumbent upon the government to prove that somebody is here illegally.
01:51:12.000If I looked like somebody that shouldn't be here and they detained me and they're like, we're pretty sure this guy goes with the rest of them, it's on them to prove that.
01:51:21.000I should be able to present my documentation, obviously, but at least there should be a process for that to happen for me to defend myself regardless of my known state of citizenship.
01:51:32.000There is also a reality in this in that if the police suspect you are committing a crime, they can detain you.
01:52:38.000Culture War was really good this morning.
01:52:39.000We had Candice Horbach and Myron Gaines as well as Ian on the show.
01:52:43.000Talking about adult content in society, whether it's good or bad, the restrictions, as well as dating, men and women, expectations, and it was good and very interesting.
01:53:04.000I did see people saying they were thanking me for getting them such a great deal with Rumble Premium.
01:53:10.000All existing TimCast members that were active right before that point get free Rumble Premium as long as they remain active on TimCast.com as members.
01:53:20.000So then you're in the Discord, you're part of the community, but you also get to watch all of the amazing Rumble Premium content included because the guys at Rumble are very based and very good.
01:53:30.000Is that bit that we shot earlier before this show, Green Room, that'll be on there?
01:53:36.000So on Rumble.com slash TimCast IRL, yeah.
01:53:40.000It's like behind-the-scenes pre-show, and we're still hammering it out.
01:53:44.000I want to incorporate more of how we actually set up IRL in those, meaning once you guys are done talking and we're getting ready for the show, the cameras bring you in, and then everyone gets to actually see how we're setting the show up.
01:54:13.000It's funny because people do not want a homogenous lack of conflict.
01:54:20.000It's like a known thing that humans want some kind of conflict and some kind of conflict resolution.
01:54:25.000There's this thing they do in music, maybe Phil knows about it, where if you don't resolve a bar or whatever, people get frustrated, they get angry.
01:54:36.000When we're having these conversations and Ian's rolling ones or twenties, it works really well.
01:55:09.000It's just that he has to remember that the point of the podcast is to share different ideas and to say we shouldn't voice your opinion because spooky things will happen is outside of what I'm going to listen to.
01:55:34.000I'll keep it simple, because it's not like we have Ian here literally because we want to argue with him, but Ian often presents ideas that are counter to ours that we argue against, and that's kind of the point of having a conversation on issues.
01:55:54.000Maybe we'd have more viewership, but I don't think it's genuine.
01:55:57.000Even what you said earlier about you wanting people to be in the office because one person mentions a toaster, one person mentions a Pop-Tart, and one person mentions butter, you'll find yourself down new avenues when somebody presents a wacky idea, or even just one contrary to your own.
01:56:13.000Ian made a really great point that I thought—we all started laughing.
01:56:16.000This morning on The Culture War, we were talking about— I mentioned that for most of human history, humans, their lives were the exact same as their grandparents.
01:56:28.000And a little boy grew up next to a little girl.
01:56:31.000And when they were 16, they were spending time together.
01:56:34.000It wasn't an arranged marriage, but they grew up together.
01:58:14.000Even if he's there, in a way, at his place and status, there's only so much time.
01:58:20.000Even myself and Roman and I, we have full-time jobs.
01:58:23.000Everyone on our crew has full-time jobs.
01:58:25.000This is taking time on a Valentine's Day away from my wife who's sitting in the bedroom watching us right now because she's proud of me right now.
01:58:35.000You know, I am a big fan of chivalry, and I looked up the...
01:58:42.000I looked up chivalry as we were discussing it, and I don't completely agree with the literal chivalry, but the idea of being honorable, being true to your word, taking responsibility for your actions, being generous and kind to those who deserve it, I think that's all particularly based.
01:58:59.000However, that being said, the Ten Commandments of Chivalry, which are not absolute because chivalry did not have any actual direct literal guidelines.
01:59:09.000However, in a French book, they wrote 99
