This week on The Timcast, we cover some of the craziest things going on in the world, including the Texas Redistricting crisis, the DC Police Department falsifying crime data, and Steve Bannon secretly running for president.
00:04:02.000The DC police commander was falsifying violent crime data.
00:04:06.000So, if you thought the violent crime data was bad, it's actually way worse.
00:04:09.000He was, as we say, in the Zoomer world capping.
00:04:11.000And finally, in addition, we got some more stories coming, but the last big, big one we got is Steve Bannon secretly running for president.
00:06:28.000We are kind of like a national inquirer for Texas news, Texas political news, and publish a lot of really great breaking stories and kind of insider stuff going on at the Capitol.
00:06:37.000I've been doing it for about five years, and you can follow us on Twitter at currentrevolt or currentrevolt.com.
00:07:46.000Well, let's get to this first story from the New York Times.
00:07:49.000Trump demands census excluding undocumented immigrants amid redistricting fight.
00:07:54.000President Trump said Thursday that he had ordered the Commerce Department to begin work on a new census that excludes undocumented immigrants as he and his allies press Republican-led states to redraw their congressional maps to benefit the party.
00:08:07.000A new census would be a significant departure from a process stipulated by the Constitution to occur every 10 years.
00:08:13.000Historically, the census has counted all U.S. residents, regardless of their immigration status, a process that helps determine both the allotment of congressional seats and billions of dollars in federal money sent to states.
00:08:25.000Quote, people who are in our country illegally in all caps will not be counted in the census, quote, end quote.
00:08:31.000Mr. Trump wrote in a post on social media.
00:08:34.000Guys, do you think we're going to get redistricting?
00:08:39.000Do you think this is going to work out how we think it is?
00:08:41.000Well, it's all, all the states have their own rules about it, right?
00:08:44.000As we're seeing with Texas, that can call a special session and try and get down to it.
00:08:49.000California and New York both have independent commissions that are responsible to do redistricting, and they're supposed to do it in accordance with the census, which is every 10 years.
00:09:00.000Gavin Newsom has threatened to try and undertake redistricting with a ballot measure.
00:09:04.000Kathy Hochul has done something similar.
00:09:07.000You also had Maura Healy in Massachusetts threatening to do redistricting to further marginalize the entirely marginalized conservative voices in Massachusetts because of all nine congressmen from Massachusetts, not a single one is a Republican.
00:09:37.000And it would be cool to see what the breakdown is.
00:09:39.000You know, I imagine it would be mostly white and black and probably a little Hispanic as well in terms of like what the majority citizenry is.
00:10:00.000I want to see the census more from the fact of what the actual COVID numbers were because some people were saying, you know, million deaths.
00:11:00.000But that's not, I mean, I'm sure some illegal immigrants did not take the census, but I bet a bunch of them did.
00:11:08.000It's going to be interesting to find out.
00:11:09.000I mean, in terms of Texas, I'm super interested about redistricting what that would look like because didn't Texas get like 1.3 million more people or something since 2020?
00:11:18.000And, you know, it's going to be a big deal.
00:11:20.000We're supposed to pick up, I think it was like five more seats.
00:12:02.000And of course, Republicans are too, but Democrats are using this as a fundraiser way to show that they're fighting because this is a very big deal.
00:12:52.000So if you look at overcounts and undercounts, this obviously favored Democrats quite heavily.
00:12:56.000Yeah, I think it often favors Democratic states heavily, you know, and I think Democratic states are also the ones where you have the most illegal immigrants, right?
00:15:21.000They even, like, if you're like Egyptian, you identify white.
00:15:24.000Like, most Arab and Middle East and North African also identify as.
00:15:28.000Like a lot of Cubans identify as white also.
00:15:30.000Well, that's the whole idea of Hispanic as a categorization is just totally redundant because it's like Leon Messi is 100% Italian, but he classifies as Latino.
00:15:37.000If his parents moved to, or if his grandparents moved to New Jersey, he would be white.
00:17:04.000There was this account, Refined Populist on Twitter, and they were saying that if they do this and they properly measure for the seats, it could cost Democrats 42 seats.
00:17:16.000And so this is brutal for them if they lose this.
00:17:26.000I guess it kind of kind of calls BS a little bit on our technology because don't you think at this point we should be beyond the fact of somebody having to knock on a door?
00:17:35.000No, I think that's the best way to do a count.
00:18:14.000Well, Nancy Pelosi came out in like, what, April or May of that year of 2020 and was like, we're going to have to do all mail-in ballots to protect us from COVID.
00:18:36.000I didn't vote in person too, and there was like nobody there.
00:18:38.000Well, that was kind of like the Republicans shot themselves in the foot for a while because they were like, only vote in person and only vote on election day.
00:21:04.000Burrow, Dustin Burrow, the speaker, he just sent a memo out to House reps saying that quorum-breaking members must pick up their pay in person via check.
00:21:26.000So, you know, well, you know, a lot of them are lawyers or real estate agents and things like that.
00:21:30.000But I was talking to one of my favorite staffers and she was like, well, actually, a lot of these Democrats are like broke as heck, actually.
00:21:37.000So they're living off of this like $700, $600 stipend that they get every month.
00:21:43.000So you actually, you may see some come back.
00:21:45.000But you've also got a bigger issue where you've got a lot of these lefty nonprofits that are actively funding these Democrats fleeing our state, which has been a huge issue.
00:21:55.000The Beto Roricks nonprofit, was it powered by the people, was actively soliciting Democrats to leave the state.
00:22:17.000If you're paying people to break quorum, like you're bribing them to do something and it becomes a federal issue where it's happening across state lines because they're fleeing to Illinois, New York, and other people.
00:22:58.000And then the bigger issue is that, especially Hispanic men in Texas, the Browns, like they're supporting Republicans now.
00:23:05.000Like the Democrats are losing this voting base of Hispanics.
00:23:10.000And I don't think they know how to cope with that.
00:23:13.000They're going to be left with just kind of like the blacks and the white liberals as like Hispanics start to trend more to vote Republican.
00:23:19.000And Democrats are just bored with, or I'm sorry, Hispanics are just bored with the rhetoric from Democrats and the weird stuff with the LGBTQ nonsense.
00:23:28.000I mean, I agree with them docking their pay.
00:23:31.000They shouldn't be getting paid if they're not doing their job.
00:23:33.000I mean, it's a huge slap in the face to everyone that has to, you know, work a job every day.
00:23:38.000And it's our money that they're stealing, essentially.
00:23:41.000So yeah, definitely not paying them, I think, makes sense.
00:23:44.000But like you say, it's not a lot of money to them.
00:23:46.000And they're getting more money hiding out in Illinois from the governor and all the whatever else, wherever they're hanging in the hotels and five-star stuff and the five-star treatment.
00:23:55.000So like, I don't think it does much, but it's, you know, it's something to get them back.
00:24:01.000Arresting them, I don't like it either because they want to get arrested.
00:24:04.000You know, we were talking about that would be a market.
00:24:41.000I think this could backfire to some degree on Republicans because there'd be nothing greater than being prosecuted by Trump and be part of the resistance and that sort of thing.
00:24:49.000And they need 100 to do business, right?
00:25:54.000I think it was Senator Mays Middleton in Texas and actually Briscoe Kane in the House that introduced bills that if you are, if you have, I think it was seven or ten consecutive unexcused absences that you automatically vacate your seat.
00:27:46.000And like if it's a contract or something.
00:27:48.000Even in Democrat cities and regions, it's still that way.
00:27:53.000Yeah, in Dallas, we had a thing where you get access to earlier bids, like early access to bids for government projects if you are a minority-based business.
00:28:03.000So I've met business owners that like I knew this business owner that his wife was black and obviously female, and he knows she worked for a tech, he owned a tech company.
00:28:14.000She knew nothing about technology, but he literally just put it in her name so that he couldn't.
00:28:18.000So it could be the MW women-owned black business.
00:28:24.000Like in New York, too, with contracts for any city work, you have to have to submit for like a, you know, an architectural construction engineering project.
00:28:55.000They said Asians are not minorities for these purposes because the engineering, construction, engineering, and architecture fields are already too full of Asians.
00:29:04.000So if you're Asian, you're not a minority.
00:29:07.000What's the school labeling Asians as white?
00:29:11.000Well, it's like if you live in Hawaii and it's like 15% white and then you're getting discriminated against anytime I meet someone that's from Harvard, I'll be like, so you hate Asians?
00:29:47.000You can't go too hard in the paint, right?
00:29:48.000Now we know what kind of employee Tate is.
00:29:50.000Well, yeah, that might have been a mask off moment.
00:29:52.000But we got another story here from the post-millennial DC police commander placed on leave over deliberately falsifying crime data.
00:30:01.000As attention has turned to Washington, D.C. and crime in the district in the wake of a former Doge employee being attacked, it has been revealed that a commander with the Metropolitan Police Department was placed on paid administrative leave in mid-May after being accused of falsifying crime data.
00:30:16.000Commander Michael Pullium, Pillium, Pooleum?
00:30:37.000Where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably, there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense.
00:30:47.000So instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification.
00:30:59.000So what they're saying is when there's a crime, a captain will show up when the police are doing their job and be like, you know what?
00:31:18.000Then, well, then it doesn't look like your city's that bad.
00:31:20.000Oh, so now, like, oh, the Democrats are doing a good job.
00:31:23.000Like, the Democrat City is cooking the books to make it look like the crime isn't as bad.
00:31:28.000And I was talking to this is D.C. This is D.C. And I was talking to post-millennial staffers, Hannah Nightingale, who wrote this story, who used to live in D.C. And she was telling me that she's seen crazy stuff at the Navy Yard with just like gangs of teenagers going around harassing people and doing all kinds of crazy stuff, which D.C. is, you know, D.C. is a mess anyway, and it has very poor leadership.
00:31:54.000And that's why Trump is trying to federalize it.
00:31:56.000But I thought that was absolutely crazy that this is what officers would do.
00:34:01.000Well, we were watching Fox News before the show, and they did a segment on races and violence, which is kind of wild to see on the Will Kane show, but it was like they're breaking down crimes by race over the last six years or whatever.
00:34:15.000And it showed like in 2024, like black crime actually went down and white crime went up.
00:34:25.000So like, I don't know if that ties into what we're talking about here, but I thought because I saw that graphic, I was like, oh, that's interesting.
00:34:31.000So it was like white crime was low, low, low, low, low.
00:35:09.000So for those in the audience that don't know, it's a bunch of teenagers that figured out how to jailbreak Kia's by literally just removing the steering column and putting in a USB cord and turning it like a key.
00:35:18.000But they figured this out in Milwaukee and now it's like traveled to different cities to the point where like you can't get a car insured, Kia car insured in Milwaukee.
00:35:59.000So like, you know, Tim talks about this too.
00:36:01.000It's come up on the show a lot, but adults will train kids to do these crimes for them in order to, you know, like just like Oliver, just like Fagan.
00:36:10.000Yeah, that's why you got to go after the parents with these people.
00:36:12.000So, like, these kids, these criminal kids, like, oh, yeah, harsher punishment is great.
00:37:18.000Like, it's up to you to take, like, if they're, if they're also in jail, though, because after they would have already done it, so that's what I'm saying.
00:37:52.000Well, I mean, that's what Will Kane was suggesting earlier when we were watching Fox.
00:37:55.000Because it's like the thing that you can't dance around and everyone wants to dance around is there is, unfortunately, there's a racial element to this.
00:38:01.000I mean, that's what you see over there.
00:38:13.000Like, me and a lot, we were in D.C. like two weeks ago, and we were walking around, and there was like a group of like 30, 35 black teens just wandering around the city, and there'd be like four or five cops just trailing them at all times.
00:38:24.000And like, if there were a group of like 30 to 35 white kids running around D.C., like knocking stuff over and beating cars, they'd be like, start camps up.
00:38:36.000And I mean, it's unfortunate, but yeah, there absolutely is like a cultural element to these stories as well, these beatings that they seem to only be tolerated in certain groups.
00:38:46.000I think a lot of it is, it's just like the woke, the woke always try and put it on racial lines, racial lines, racial lines, but I don't think it's, I think part of it's racial lines, but I think the bigger part of it is economic lines.
00:38:57.000I think that's a very, very liberal argument.
00:40:06.000I've seen it like countless times in LA where they won't go and arrest somebody that's clearly doing something illegal because they know that this guy can't pay for anything.
00:40:14.000And then they just think, why would they even waste their time?
00:40:16.000They look at it as like, oh, this is paperwork that's going to go nowhere.
00:40:18.000And it's going to be from them chasing tail for no reason.
00:40:21.000I knew a lot of people, especially in Chicago, their winter plan was literally committing a crime because they got to go to jail and get three, three, what do they call it?
00:40:32.000I mean, that's because there's been just this massive warping of what the purpose of prison is because I think most people, right and left, view prison as a form of rehabilitation or perhaps even a form of like removing them from the situation.
00:40:44.000But the point of prison is incapacitation.
00:40:46.000Like you're trying to incapacitate a criminal from committing a crime because unfortunately criminal behavior is very easy to predict and like the reoffense rate is very high.
00:40:56.000The actual ability for prisons to rehabilitate is very minimal, like I said, because criminal behaviors, criminals do repeat criminal behaviors.
00:41:04.000There's a certain disposition of someone that's a criminal.
00:41:06.000So trying to seek rehabilitation is kind of pointless.
00:41:09.000Yeah, like I said, the view is to incapacitate the criminal before they harm more people.
00:41:13.000Removed from what, public society or polite society almost.
00:41:18.000And it's like I said earlier, it's like they have this like bizarre thing that happens in court where they'll plead insanity and that like reduces their sentence.
00:41:25.000And it's like, if you're insane, that's the best reason to go to jail.
00:41:28.000It's like, I'm so insane that I can't possibly function in society.
00:41:31.000It's like, that's actually the best reason to remove someone.
00:41:34.000But instead, because we have this false view of prison that it's like a form of rehabilitation, we're just going to keep doing this dance around and around again where we can't actually clean our cities up.
00:41:42.000We've also gone way too far to the rehabilitation side.
00:41:45.000And we have dispensed in a lot of cases with punishing criminals because we just look at how do we help the criminals instead of how do we prevent more victims of these criminals.
00:41:56.000And a lot of the people who go to prison, like, they've been doing this stuff for a long time.
00:42:16.000And I think that at a certain point, there probably is not a lot of hope for you.
00:42:20.000If you're not going to turn it around, nobody can turn it around for you.
00:42:24.000I'll defend people that get caught in the system.
00:42:28.000Listen, it's everyone's choices and they make decisions.
00:42:32.000But sometimes when you do get caught in the system, it is hard to get out because the expectations and the things they put these people through is really hard.
00:42:41.000Sure, but you don't need to keep violently aside.
00:42:57.000I don't like that either because it's our tax money going insane.
00:43:01.000Nowadays, it's easier not to fall into that.
00:43:04.000Like there's so many lefty nonprofits and organizations that are willing to reward people who do bad things.
00:43:10.000And like we reported on a story recently, there's this woman who's a DACA recipient and she's been charged with all sorts of drug offenses and all that.
00:45:10.000If you speak to a lot of people that operate or work in homeless shelters, they'll say there's actually spare beds, but you have to get clean to sleep in this bed.
00:45:17.000And these guys, you can actually speak to a lot of them.
00:45:19.000They're still pretty lucid, and they're like, I'm not ready to get clean yet.
00:46:47.000Those Christian organizations you talked about, but there's so many mentioned.
00:46:51.000There's so many of these organizations that the chances of someone being down their luck for longer than two weeks is extremely, extremely slim.
00:47:00.000And then most of the time, it's just because they want to go get fent for like a quarter on the you know the addicts and stuff, but even that you can overcome.
00:47:38.000The campaign would divide the Make America Great Again movement Bannon helped build by setting up a Herculean battle with JD Vance, who is all but certain to launch his own 2028 candidacy, potentially with Donald Trump's blessing.
00:47:50.000Now, my opinion on this: is Bannon likely to run?
00:47:55.000I will say, I don't think Trump's going to directly endorse a candidate because I do think Trump likes the idea of a few guys going in and battling it out by saying, I'm the most pro-Trump, I'm the most like Trump.
00:48:05.000I think that's actually the likely outcome.
00:50:08.000So, like, whoever it is, if it's Vance or whoever, like, I really think he'd be great in that advisor role, you know, but not everyone needs to be out in front and center.
00:50:15.000Well, it's, I mean, it's kind of tough.
00:50:16.000It's hard to tell right now if Bannon is in that inner Trump circle.
00:50:19.000I mean, some things would suggest that, but a lot of times it seems like he's completely shut out.
00:50:24.000I think that changes like regularly, too.
00:50:27.000Like, Trump kind of reminds me a little bit of the popular kid in high school.
00:50:31.000It's like, yeah, you'll be friends with him a couple of days, and then next week you don't talk to him, and then you hear from him again.
00:52:25.000The technology question, that's a really interesting one, Libby.
00:52:29.000I do support it because I do know the population is getting smaller and smaller, and we still need a lot of food.
00:52:35.000So I'm not adverse to the machines doing mindless jobs like that, especially if it's going to get a bunch of people who don't belong here out.
00:53:30.000I was talking to somebody on the way here, and I was like, man, I've lived long enough to find out what the derogatory term is for like a robot.
00:54:07.000But the problem is, we all know how businesses work.
00:54:10.000If you're paying your, you know, your floor-level staff, like 40, 50 bucks an hour, like we see at the fast food places in California, it's really hard to make money, or you have to raise the prices for the consumer.
00:54:21.000So either we're okay spending a ton more or we have the robots.
00:54:28.000Yeah, I mean, like the thing with- Yeah.
00:54:31.000The thing with Vance, if you really are hard on immigration, like if you really do want net zero immigration, you need to deport, maybe even denaturalize a lot of people, is you're going to have to embrace tech because the reality is the share of the Native American population is shrinking as a whole.
00:54:47.000There's nothing you can really do about that because everyone's chucking money at it.
00:54:59.000So it's like, if you're looking at the states and you're looking at, like, when I say Native Americans, not like American Indians, but like, you know, people that are from America, that shared, that population is declining as a whole.
00:55:09.000The only way you're going to keep the economy propped up with a declining population, you're going to have to find technology solutions.
00:55:15.000So I think that's why the Vance guys, I think they just see the writing on the wall.
00:55:17.000Yeah, I'd much rather lean towards tech and towards, like, for instance, within farming, a lot of people, they say, oh, well, you can't pick certain berries without having an actual person go and pick them.
00:55:28.000It's like, well, we haven't invented a machine to do that yet, right?
00:55:31.000Like before they're like, oh, it was really laborious to pick nuts from trees.
00:55:35.000And then someone was like, well, why don't I just take my tractor and turn around and put a big old thing on and shake it and vibrate and all the nuts will fall down.
00:55:41.000And that revolutionized that industry and it got rid of a lot of people's jobs.
00:55:45.000But it's also not adding hundreds of thousands of people to your country every year, every other month.
00:55:51.000Like it's an insane idea to say that we need to do that as opposed to like advancing technology and advancing the things we already are doing.
00:55:57.000And it's like, you know, I'm not really a fan of the bots.
00:56:08.000Yeah, the calculus is you have a, you, you bring in technology, you just let it, you cut it all loose, you have a 10% chance of like a cyberpunk future.
00:57:00.000If they play the game and they play with the rules they're actually supposed to play by, like you can't hire illegal immigrants, that's a huge rule that gets completely fine and completely ignored.
00:57:07.000And I think we should be arresting these people.
00:57:09.000By the way, Donald, if you're watching, please arrest the people that hire illegal immigrants.
00:57:12.000They're causing half of the big issue.
00:57:17.000And it's going to take time for everything to two levels.
00:57:39.000I'm telling you, listen, there's already self-driving trucks on the road now, but they need someone there in case something happens to grab the wheel.
00:57:46.000So just like one homeless person per franken toaster.
00:57:49.000I'm telling you, they get, when they get purpose and they're like, oh my God, I'm doing something with my life, they're going to be like, I see the, Sergeant DX, bro.
00:57:58.000When we got in that Weibo car and like somehow we put you in the wrong seat and it stopped and it was like somebody phoned in to me and was like, I don't know what you're doing, but I'm going to kick you out of the car.
01:00:36.000She deserves all the greatest opportunities in the world.
01:00:39.000And I couldn't be more excited for her to, you know, get a little piece of her career back.
01:00:44.000And I hope that she got a whole bunch of money from Lucasfilms and Disney too, because it's not right when someone takes away for your career just because you posted a meme during COVID.
01:00:55.000And the other thing, too, about her post, she posted a meme saying basically that the Nazis were able to control people because they got their neighbors to snitch on everybody, to snitch on each other.
01:02:09.000He was so bad at his job that he completely changed the entire political landscape of the country to go back like 20 years, which is crazy.
01:02:34.000Do you remember under before COVID and then during BLM and all of that, you had the New York Times and all these other outlets talking so much about race that people's fear of racism and belief that racism was a huge problem in the country skyrocketed.
01:02:48.000And a new study came out, and that number is back down to sort of normal.
01:03:19.000And this is a huge problem for the Democratic Party, right?
01:03:21.000They could go in two directions right now.
01:03:23.000They have two options: one, go a little more establishment, veer center, capture that part of their base and that part of their voters, or they could veer far left and go the Zoram Mandani, Omar Fatah, like all of these guys in this direction.
01:03:41.000And that's what they're choosing to do.
01:03:43.000You had Elizabeth Warren the other day saying that Zoran Momdani's message is the message for the future of the Democratic Party.
01:04:27.000Instead, what she said was that she'd like to take her book and tour around the country, not asking for people's votes.
01:04:34.000She's trying to come out as an outsider to the political party that she should be the head of right now, but she can't say that she's the head of it.
01:04:44.000Nobody is the head of the Democratic Party right now.
01:04:46.000And so what you have is the far left taking control.
01:06:12.000Yeah, you had Nancy Pelosi out here today talking about how she wants to implement plans so that child sex changes are not punk rock for them.
01:07:38.000And this is kind of exhibit A for what Libby is saying, is they're just trying to like repackage really, really horrible ideas.
01:07:44.000And they're trying to, and she can't do it as well.
01:07:47.000But like she was saying, they're just trying to repackage it in the broadcast kind of presentation.
01:07:52.000But if you just listen to her, I mean, this is the moderate position in the Democrat Party today.
01:07:57.000And the Democrats, the situation they're in is the same situation the Republicans were in in 2015, which was the base had no appetite to moderate at all, and they felt like every attempt to satiate them in any way wasn't enough.
01:08:09.000I think in 2028, the Democrats are going to send a brick through a window.
01:08:25.000They're going to elect an equivalent to some degree of a Donald Trump as far as expressing anger, expressing discontent with the current of the Democrat Party.
01:08:35.000And what's interesting about that is if you look at the past several presidential elections, by this far out from an election, there was an opposition frontrunner.
01:08:45.000But at this stage, you had Al Gore, you know.
01:09:23.000You know, you're looking at perhaps AOC.
01:09:25.000You're looking at the legit low IQ people from the Democrat Party because they're the only ones who are stupid enough to think that they have a shot.
01:09:35.000The difference between like a person like Jasmine Crockett or AOC versus not saying, because obviously they're not the same at all.
01:09:40.000And Trump is Trump had the money to like create an insurgency.
01:09:43.000Where in the Democrat Party, they're not going to have a war chest.
01:09:48.000They don't have anyone that actually believes in the success of their dreams so much that they're willing to go out and have a war chest like Trump had.
01:09:58.000I think that you're mistaken about just how much money the Democrats have.
01:10:01.000And in terms of Democrats' donors and open societies, USAID was shut down, but like they're going to come up with it.
01:10:09.000I mean, these people are still throwing multi thousand dollar plate fundraisers and stuff like that.
01:10:15.000They're still doing all of these things.
01:10:41.000But MAGA has really put together the model for what works and what talks to people.
01:10:46.000And that's literally being authentic, literally being outspoken, getting on podcasts, getting on social media, saying crazy stuff.
01:10:53.000Crockett, whether you like her or not, she's like fearless when it comes to like, you know, saying what she thinks, you know, going out there, acting crazy.
01:11:02.000Did you see the report today from the New York Post?
01:12:14.000And that's why you even had Joe Scarborough, I think, talking to Jamie Raskin about it on his show and being like, okay, Congressman, like, if you're so gung-ho about this Epstein stuff, why didn't you do anything about it for the past four years?
01:13:02.000I don't think they, I don't think they have a great chance for the midterms either because so far I don't know what they could possibly be driving home.
01:13:57.000Yeah, it's weird because like we actually like, I mean, at least the MAGA party had like goals that, if accomplished, would improve their lives.
01:14:05.000Whereas if the accomplished goals happen on the left, like what does that actually mean?
01:14:46.000But he was able to get people pumped and excited through a new medium, which the Democrats have been failing at for years, or which MAGA is like taking over with podcasts and social media.
01:17:18.000Like any of this stuff can just be reversed.
01:17:20.000And I find it infuriating that we have a Republican Congress and a Republican-led Senate, and they won't take up some of these things to say we are reaffirming that Title IX means, you know, legal protections for actual women or whatever the other things are.
01:17:37.000Some of the border security measures, a lot of that stuff.
01:17:40.000Has the House passed anything other than the Lake and Riley Act and the Big Beautiful bill this year?
01:17:44.000And there's tons of policy proposals from Trump's executive orders, the anti-wokeness, some of the anti-wokeness in AI, which I think is a really big deal.
01:17:54.000And the Congress hasn't taken up any of it.
01:17:56.000And instead, you have the Senate being like, no, we're not going to stick around and try and confirm some of your appointees.
01:18:02.000And the House is like, no, we're going to go.
01:18:04.000You have a bunch of people being like, yeah, we're going to take this free trip to Israel.
01:18:31.000I mean, I'm just saying, like, you know, what he's done, especially rolling back DEI, a lot of the changes he's made, like there have been like the, you know, the ICE stuff, like going after illegals, like he has done a lot.
01:19:13.000Well, speaking of immigration, we got one more story here from the post-millennial Superman actor Dean Kane to join ICE will be sworn in, quote, ASAP.
01:19:22.000Dean Kane, an actor who played Superman in the 1990s TV show, Lois and Clark.
01:19:35.000The new adventures of Superman told Fox News' Jesse Waters primetime on Wednesday that he is joining ICE.
01:19:40.000Kane explained that he had put out a recruitment video on Tuesday in which he had laid out the benefits interested parties would get of joining ICE, of which Waters had shown a clip on his show.
01:21:46.000It's worth noting that ICE is so much different than anything we've seen so far, ICE in the Trump administration, because this really does feel like to some degree like the Reconquista.
01:22:02.000But if you're a young man and you really feel like your inheritance has been stolen when you look around your country, you see ICE is like the ticket to actually restore that inheritance.
01:27:54.000And I think if you can accept the fact if you accept the fact that some that genders have superiority in certain things, then I think it makes sense that races would fall into that as well.
01:28:03.000Gender and race are totally different.
01:28:47.000I'm just saying, dude, like sometimes your dream is your dream.
01:28:49.000It's like, hey, I want to be in the NBA no matter what.
01:28:52.000But they're not being prevented from it.
01:28:53.000Like, you can, just because you are able to do something doesn't mean you're going to be like, part of telling them their race doesn't allow them to do it.
01:29:07.000The point is saying, like, it's bigger than just any person's skin color.
01:29:10.000Like, skin color means almost nothing.
01:29:11.000I got a friend from North London that has lived in London his whole life, and he's a black guy, and he doesn't have anything to do with like, but he's English in all sense of the word.
01:29:21.000I'm not being an idiot here, but I'm saying like just the idea that someone has like their skin color is like the only thing that determines like we have a major issue in this country with cultural assimilation.
01:30:27.000It's like, okay, you just have to be able to accept the fact that, you know, if you're five foot five, you're probably not going to be an NBA.
01:30:51.000They need people mapping out where the trucks are going.
01:30:54.000Like, there's definitely someone that's going to be better at doing that and someone's going to be worse doing that.
01:30:58.000And I think right now we have a situation where it's like, oh, just because you can do the basic job, I see videos of people at Walmart that are not doing the job at all.
01:31:05.000And like, oh, well, they worked four hours and I get this money.
01:31:39.000But that messaging has gone too far because you're seeing so many institutions, whether it's schools or even military or police, they're lowering the standards because they want to accommodate that ideology.
01:32:26.000I think it brings up people that actually think outside the box and can think past what society is putting on them as far as you can only do this.
01:33:16.000Okay, give me a couple examples of jobs you think that can't be taught outside of weightlifting, which is.
01:33:20.000I mean, I could teach you how to be an audio engineer over the course of like 10 or 15 years if you're really good at music.
01:33:28.000So you don't think anyone can learn how to be audio engineers?
01:33:32.000I think it's pretty difficult to teach writing.
01:33:33.000I mean, if you're teaching somebody who can write something better, we can't teach writing either.
01:33:40.000You can teach somebody who can write to be a better writer, but I don't think you can teach someone who has no skill to be good.
01:33:45.000Listen, there's always a percentage for the X factor in anything.
01:33:48.000And I think if people have that X factor and a lot of times it's interest and passion, like autism to the point where they want to just do it, do it.
01:36:13.000Cool that Tim got a long-lost Tate brother as a backup host.
01:36:17.000Yeah, people don't realize having Tate as your name when you're scrolling through your Twitter feed and you see people like, Tate is a domestic abuser.
01:36:40.000Big 7588 says, the last time a citizenship question was included on the main U.S. Census questionnaire sent to every household was in 1950.
01:38:38.000Well, in Texas, we recently just passed the removal of soda and candy for SNAP beneficial deliveries.
01:38:45.000And so that was a really big deal for us.
01:38:47.000And you know what's crazy and a lot of people aren't talking about is the soda industry, the PACs, were paying influencers to fight against that.
01:39:00.000And there's a lot of very influencers were being paid without disclosing to not promote, to promote not removing soda and candy.
01:39:12.000I think that was a big turning point, actually, because the whole influencer getting paid to do stuff market, like with advertising, it's always very clear, like this is an advertisement.
01:39:24.000When we run ads on the post-millennial website, and I know you do this too, right?
01:39:28.000Like, you have to say, like, this is an advertisement.
01:39:31.000And there haven't been standards for influencers.
01:39:50.000There's a plenty of, and I hate to say it, but there's a lot of MAGA influencers that are taking cash from PACs, from other organizations, directly from politicians in order to push policy.
01:40:04.000I'm not going to drop his name, but he was taking money from the green energy lobby, being paid $12 per petition to push solar energy in Texas.
01:40:16.000They were using oil wells in the background of this petition.
01:40:19.000But you were signing something that was promoting wind and solar energy in Texas.
01:40:23.000And he got called out on it, immediately deleted it.
01:40:26.000But there are companies that will, you can sign up if you're these MAGA influencers that will pay you to push petitions or policy, and they're not disclosing.
01:40:36.000In fact, I posted this and I got approached by one, and they specifically ask you not to put it that it's an ad or that you're being paid for by it.
01:40:46.000I don't have a problem with it so long as it's fully disclosed.
01:42:38.000Well, if you're killing everybody, you may as well.
01:42:40.000And actually, that is, of course, where, I mean, it's sort of apocryphal at this point because the phrase, drink the Kool-Aid, comes from the Jim Jones massacre.
01:44:50.000I agree with you that the illegals are hesitant to talk to government, but these people were showing up in t-shirts, jeans, shorts, saying, Hey, talking to them in their native language, saying, fill out this form.
01:45:02.000And it really put them at ease in order to fill something out.
01:45:05.000I will say, 2010, though, there has to be a difference here because I understand what you're saying.
01:45:11.000Illegals with the anchor babies are a lot more confident than the illegals that don't have the anchor babies.
01:45:16.000So I'm sure the people he was talking to in 2010 had American kids that were.
01:46:00.000I don't know if anybody's seen that, but like, I mean, I know like, I think probably Asmund and them covered the video and a tech tone covered it and stuff.
01:47:47.000I will say, like, congratulations, that's wonderful.
01:47:49.000Tim always talks about the population declining, but for some reason, every show, there's one or two kids that are born in the super chats.
01:50:08.000I mean, yeah, these places, I mean, they have like these programs where they send people to the troubled children to farms and these sorts of things.
01:50:17.000And a lot, you know, a lot of it too, it's like, especially with troubled youths.
01:51:07.000It could be returning to a very traditional view, like the founding fathers, where like Franklin viewed anyone that wasn't English as like swarthy.
01:51:58.000I mean, Sean, you're completely misunderstanding how parenting works.
01:52:01.000You don't have control of your child 100% of your time because the entire process of raising a child is going from when they are totally dependent on you to when they are not dependent on you at all.
01:52:11.000And that's a process of, that's the process of raising your child.
01:52:14.000If you raise your children, like there's a totally different situation between having a one-year-old, two-year-old through like 10 years old, you pretty much have control over your child.
01:52:23.000But at a certain point, you put your child on the school bus.
01:52:38.000You're in touch with what's going on with them.
01:52:40.000You don't know what's going on, yeah, but it's a process of growing your kid up so that they can take care of themselves and be part of the world.
01:52:49.000I'm just saying, if you are, if your child is in a position where they've killed someone or did something horrible to another person, it leads me to believe that the parent has no idea what's going on in that kid's life because you would know, Libby, if your kid was like with the maniac Latin disciples or whatever, I'm sure you would know by now, right?
01:53:08.000So, like, you as the parent should be responsible for like removing them from those situations.
01:53:54.000If your kid keeps breaking into cars, you owe the government $7,000.
01:53:57.000That's the issue I have with the Elon statement because it's like, oh, about like, oh, having kids, such a good thing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:54:03.000They keep missing the part of the messaging.
01:54:09.000And a lot of parents, especially these days with how hard it is economically, they think, oh, I can have a kid and like, oh, it's going to be fine.
01:54:50.000Like, if your kid's not going to high school and they're not showing up and they're truants, you know, like the high schools will go after the parents.
01:54:56.000Obviously, it's not straight to jail, but like over time, if they're like completely delinquents and they're not showing up and they're doing all these horrible things on the street or whatever, and the parents aren't doing anything about it.
01:55:37.000But if like you just wake up one day and your kid just like totally flips the script and maybe does some crazy drugs that causes like then for exception.
01:55:45.000Yeah, there are definitely exceptions to the rule.
01:55:48.000But if your kid's the weirdo kid that like doesn't shower and bathe and sits in the corner and like cries or whatever and you know nothing about it, like there's an onus on you as a parent, right?
01:55:58.000And like Tony said, they shouldn't have access to guns if they're crazy.
01:56:04.000Eric Shaver says, how do you guys complain about bums asking for money when you get paid through ad fraud inflation to sit around and B-word?
01:56:19.000I mean, I'll send them your way if that's what you want because you're like Mr. High and Mighty here.
01:56:24.000Oh my God, that's such an uninformed take to like the amount of work and sacrifice Tim has put into this company and the amount of like he's putting 15, 16 hours a day.
01:56:34.000This team here working 15, 16 hours a day, working six days this week, seven days coming up.
01:57:23.000But I don't disagree just because all of the press on the Democrat side, like any live stream I see from like the DNC or whatever always has him in it.
01:58:17.000I see a lot of these American schools.
01:58:18.000It makes them more lazy and more entitled.
01:58:21.000It's just a, it's just like a glorified high school than it is like actually learning anything.
01:58:25.000Some, of course, some professions, like, like, I wouldn't want a, I'd want a doctor that has a master's and doctorate degree, like, of course, like, but not, you know, I will say like, I went, my high school was really hard.
01:58:35.000College was less hard, and graduate school was the easiest.
01:58:46.000Well, find what you're passionate about because the grind becomes enjoyment and not, you know, like I've been in the jobs where I hate them.
01:58:53.000You know, it's like you're going in, you're punching the clock.
01:58:55.000You know, you have to be there eight hours.
01:58:56.000Sometimes you have to be there 12 hours.
01:58:58.000The rat race sucks, but like you have to grind.
02:01:50.000Josh Berg says, I just read a story today about a kid who was born at 22 weeks, but we deport the illegals and we up the cost of abortions to pay for their medical treatment and we fix our population crisis.
02:02:01.000I just read a story today about a kid who was born at 22 weeks, but we deport the illegals and we up the cost of abortions to pay for their medical treatment and we fix our population crisis.
02:08:16.000I loved the joy that you love abortions.
02:08:24.000It's the stupidest haircut I've ever seen.
02:08:28.000First of all, I just think it's hilarious.
02:08:29.000And secondly, the whole thing is like, wait, so a campus thing I've been doing for 13 years to debate random college kids has now been so important that it gets prominent primetime placement on Comedy Central.
02:08:44.000I think the whole thing is just awesome.
02:10:00.000Fantasy Island was this old show and it had Ricardo Mondelbon playing Mr. Rourke and it had tattooed going, de plane, boss, deploy, deplane.
02:10:09.000And so when JD Vance walks out, you know, as tattoo, I kind of did dive.
02:10:15.000The Zoomers and the younger millennials aren't going to get that.
02:10:40.000what that means is Charlie is, and this whole movement is so at the forefront of what's going on in culture that they need to spoof it.
02:10:50.000I mean, I agree with you there, but that's the way to do it.
02:10:52.000I do think they did the right job by leaning in.
02:10:54.000But what I'm saying is the left is saying any criticism of this, it's like, oh, you guys are making, you know, oh, you're so mad, mad, conservatives, or whatever.
02:11:02.000When it's like, no, they could have done so many better plot lines.
02:11:05.000They could have done so many better things.
02:11:08.000But what I'm saying is it is season 27.
02:11:10.000What I'm saying is when they got to Mar-a-Lango.
02:11:13.000What I was saying earlier, though, is they're literally just copying the playbook that MAGA put.
02:11:44.000They had way better episodes, though, because I used this one episode where they were tearing down a Christopher Columbus statue in the audition tape I made.
02:11:53.000And I laid it over real life during 2020.
02:11:57.000And they called it before it happened.
02:11:59.000So they used to be on the ball and it was funny.
02:12:02.000Because they would turn around episodes like within four hours.
02:12:05.000They were at like the, that's what made them interesting is like they were at the like bleeding edge of comedy becoming an issue.
