Trump is suing CBS News for $10 billion, Biden bit babies, and J.D. Vance appeared on Joe Rogan's show. Plus, a new cartoon about masculinity, and more! Guests: Senior Advisor to Congresswoman Lauren Boebert on Capitol Hill, Joel Valdez; Senior Adviser to Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey. Thanks to caller Mike Lindell.
00:00:27.000It's a silly number, I guess, but he is.
00:00:30.000And this has to do with CBS creating, I guess we can put it at a baseline, two different versions of the Kamala Harris interview that he argues was selectively edited to benefit Kamala Harris because she looked real bad.
00:00:43.000You see, they put out snippets from the interview.

00:03:10.000Bannon does it every day, day in and day out.
00:03:12.000For those who don't know me, I'm a senior advisor to Congresswoman Lauren Boebert on Capitol Hill, previously with Rep Matt Gaetz, and just excited to be back on.
00:03:21.000We had the heat turned on because it was like 30 degrees last week, and now it was 80 today, so we had to turn the air conditioning back on.
00:04:24.000They said Donald Trump wanted to arrest CBS News, have CBS News arrested because interviewing Kamala was illegal.
00:04:31.000Of course, that is not what Donald Trump said.
00:04:33.000What Trump said was that the selective editing...
00:04:36.000The different versions that were released were in essence aiding Kamala Harris.
00:04:41.000The first clips of the interview that came out made her look really bad.
00:04:44.000Maybe they didn't realize, I don't know, but she looked pretty bad.
00:04:47.000They then released a totally different response.
00:04:50.000According to the lawsuit, this is election interference.
00:04:53.000Axios says former President Trump filed a lawsuit against CBS News Thursday alleging the network engaged in election interference by doctoring 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Harris.
00:05:02.000Trump is seeking $10 billion in damages for CBS alleged partisan and lawful acts of election and voter interference, which the lawsuit claims were intended to confuse the public and attempt to tip the scales towards Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.
00:05:18.000Lawsuit was first reported by Fox News.
00:05:36.000On October 20th, 2024, attempting unsuccessfully to stop the bad press without providing transparency.
00:05:41.000CBS News released a statement conceding that President Trump was accurate in his assertion that the interview with Kamala was doctored to confuse, deceive and mislead the American people in order to try and interfere in the election on behalf of Kamala.
00:05:54.000As President Trump stated and has made crystal clear in the video, he referenced and attached a giant fake news scam by CBS and 60 Minutes.
00:06:02.000Her real answer was crazy or dumb, so they actually replaced it with another answer in order to save her or at least make her look better.
00:06:10.000A fake news scam, which is totally illegal, take away the CBS license.
00:06:14.000Now I have to wonder, maybe CBS did this not because of what Kamala said, but because of how it made them look as a news organization.
00:06:36.000So what if CBS was like, we need to make this more appealing?
00:06:38.000Well, and especially if you don't push back sufficiently.
00:06:41.000So if this person is giving ridiculous non-answers and babbling on and they refuse to say anything about their actual policy positions and they generally sound moronic, and then you just sit there and don't push back against anything they're saying, it does look pretty bad for you.
00:06:53.000Or even worse, you pretend that what they're saying is compelling.
00:06:57.000It's very used to having her handheld by corporate media and being spoken to in the most gentle possible terms.
00:07:05.000This is why she considered it such an insult and why her fans considered it such an insult for Joe Rogan to not give her special treatment relative to Trump to them.
00:07:13.000If they're not getting special treatment, they're being persecuted.
00:07:16.000So look, everyone knew that if anyone in the corporate press talked to her, they were going to baby her.
00:07:22.000And that's clearly what happened here, though to your point, Tim, if it was because they were embarrassed by their own performance, that wouldn't entirely shock me either.
00:07:30.000To your point about having her hand held and stuff, you saw that pretty clearly on display when she did the Bret Baier interview, and she was essentially asking him to throw her a lifeline, and she was like, you know what I mean, and he was just like, nope, I don't know what you mean.
00:07:47.000And I'm trying to paraphrase it because I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I'm pretty sure what he was saying was that he knew if he traveled to her for the interview, her handlers would be in the room controlling how the show went.
00:07:57.000And I'll add to that, he wouldn't be able to pull up or fact check anything she says.
00:08:02.000So they knew they couldn't come in and sit down.
00:08:38.000And to your point about her not wanting to be fact-checked, what her and other left-wing candidates do is they will just smugly state that something is misinformation or has been debunked, even when it hasn't, and oftentimes without ever providing a source for that claim.
00:08:53.000Actually, Seamus, that claim has been debunked already.
00:09:03.000It would be very embarrassing for her to plainly and arrogantly state that something was debunked and then have Joe pull the information up in front of her.
00:09:13.000Kamala can't respond to basic questions such as, how many people do you think have entered the country?
00:09:18.000She would completely crumble if she was fact-checked on air and shown to be wrong.
00:09:25.000But there's this other hilarious phenomenon we see.
00:09:28.000With these left wing pundits where they'll go, this is insane.
00:09:32.000J.D. Vance and Donald Trump said they didn't like the fact checking at the debate.
00:09:37.000They speak about fact checking as if there are these...
00:09:41.000Arbiters of truth who are totally non-biased and not bought into one side or the other when they clearly are all leftists who work for the corporate press or are adjacent to them.
00:09:49.000And then they act as if we have just found these oracles of pure truth who are gonna fact check everyone equally and it's nonsense.
00:09:57.000People since the beginning of time have been claiming that their opponents said things that are factually incorrect.
00:10:03.000But for whatever reason, when you use this phrase, fact check, they fact checked him.
00:10:29.000It's the same thing with the Ryan James Gerdusky thing.
00:10:32.000Dude, I could have predicted this when he got offered a gig at CNN. Like, we all know where this is going.
00:10:37.000The cult is going to start balking like chickens, hooting and screaming the moment you say anything out of line with their deranged worldview.
00:10:45.000Being familiar with Ryan's content, I was surprised that he lasted that long.
00:11:44.000I mean, that's clearly a feature of the age of social media, whereas if you hear something, that's enough for you to say, oh, I don't like that person, so I'm sure they did it.
00:11:54.000And, you know, whichever side, it doesn't really matter.
00:11:57.000The presumption of innocence has entirely evaporated in the United States, and, I mean, that's a significant problem, because...
00:12:04.000The presumption of innocence is—not only is it foundational to our legal system, but it also speaks to a high-trust society.
00:12:12.000It's like we assume that people are generally good, and if we don't assume that, you're going to continue to see the degradation of trust in other people in your society, and that's part of the reason why you have to have more and more laws.
00:12:25.000If you have a society that's high-trust, you have to have— You have a society where people just generally do do the right thing, then you don't need as many laws to tell people what they have to do.
00:12:39.000People are free to do what they want to do because you can trust them to be generally good people.
00:12:44.000Now, another thing I think is interesting about all of this is not just the fact that, you know, CBS edited this.
00:12:51.000It shouldn't shock us that they would be carrying water for the Democratic candidate in an election, especially when they're running against Donald Trump, who's the most evil, fascistic dictator who's ever lived.
00:13:02.000But it's the fact that they felt a need to edit her answers.
00:13:41.000I mean, the content brain in me thinks that if she had such a bad interview, wouldn't you want to draw some of those eyeballs to your channel?
00:13:49.000Unless you just wanted to save Kamala?
00:13:51.000I was watching some of the J.D. Vance on Rogan.
00:14:35.000And, you know, watching it, he mentions, like, in six days, I think I'm going to win, because I think they recorded it yesterday or whatever.
00:14:40.000Or I guess technically we're going to get the data in six days.
00:16:30.000That if that happens, it's because you didn't get out there and cancel out the vote of someone who only voted because Taylor Swift told them to.
00:16:36.000For every person who went out and voted because Taylor Swift said they should vote for someone, you gotta go out there, you gotta make sure you cancel their vote out.
00:16:43.000The data that I've seen so far in some of these swing states, people have been tweeting about, is that men are not voting at large enough numbers right now.
00:16:50.000Women are outvoting men, and that's always been true, that women are high-propensity voters, and men are low-propensity voters.
00:17:04.000If the data comes back and shows that women voted at like 5 to 10 points higher than guys, then I can understand, okay, well, that's how Kamala Harris won, I guess.
00:19:18.000If somebody convinced you that you having a credit card seven days from now hinges on who gets elected, I don't trust you with a credit card.
00:21:09.000He's like, I'm a naturalized citizen, but Trump's going to take it away?
00:21:13.000Well, no, to be fair, there's a more charitable reading, which is he's applied for citizenship, and in seven days he's just going to find out whether...
00:21:50.000There is no means by which you can stop someone from loving someone else.
00:21:53.000Unless she's implying that Trump will come by and then maybe share disparaging remarks about her lover and then she'll not like him anymore.
00:22:20.000Whether you are getting put in the crystals.
00:22:21.000And if you love the wrong person, we will put you in the crystals, baby!
00:22:25.000I heard that Project 2025, Trump is going to have a bunch of these collars that they put around your neck and it makes it so you can't love anyone.
00:23:18.000It's just that I don't know if my family in western North Carolina will be warned of the hurricane coming in seven days when the National Weather Service is gone.
00:23:25.000He's going to shut down the weather channel.
00:23:39.000You know what would be really funny if the first thing Trump does when he gets elected is he flies to Alaska and goes to Harper and just cranks it.
00:25:18.000On the Rogan podcast, J.D. Vance, the first thing he said was, well, the first thing I'm going to do is get a big list of every woman in the country's periods to monitor on my camera.
00:25:27.000I remember when he said that, and that's one policy I agree that he went a little too far on.
00:25:30.000But let's just think this through for a second.
00:25:32.000You're gonna get flagged for election misinformation.
00:25:35.000One thing people do, which just drives me nuts, is especially when it comes to abortion bans, which are good and protect children from being murdered.
00:25:44.000One thing they'll do is they'll create all of these insane, weird, fictional scenarios that they claim will come about now that Roe has been overturned.
00:25:53.000My guy, for 200 years of our country's history...
00:26:23.000I don't want Trump to take over the Board of Education, put in his lackeys, his loyalists, and have y'all continue to think that Puerto Rico is not a part of America.
00:27:33.000We're in the social media era, and these people don't actually watch anything.
00:27:37.000Yeah, information has never been easier to attain.
00:27:39.000Accurate information has never been easier to find and to spread, and people have absolutely no interest in finding any accurate information.
00:27:49.000They just want to go ahead and find things that entertain their paranoia, their fears.
00:27:56.000So I joined TikTok last month because that's where I'm hearing that young people are getting their source of news nowadays.
00:28:05.000And you can follow me at RealJoelValdez, by the way.
00:29:42.000We have a similar problem in reverse, which is...
00:29:47.000Republicans have trouble discussing things that Democrats are doing because what they're actually doing sounds so insane that people don't believe you when you tell them.
00:29:56.000When Dennis Prager went on Bill Maher and said, well, look, they're putting tampons in men's room.
00:30:01.000And then they all laughed and they're like, oh, you're so crazy, Dennis Prager.
00:30:04.000And then Bill Maher said, I've known you for a while.
00:30:06.000You were a reasonable guy, but this is nuts.
00:30:24.000These people are dangerously stupid and arrogant at the same time.
00:30:29.000Push for things that are so unbelievably disgusting and psychotic that you sound crazy for even mentioning them.
00:30:36.000And then they shame you for mentioning it.
00:30:38.000But this is what happened with giving sex change operations to illegal immigrants.
00:30:43.000That sounds like something a parody of Fox News from 2005 would have in the chyron.
00:30:48.000It is actually something that Kamala Harris has proposed.
00:30:51.000And so this is a problem Republicans have.
00:30:53.000You will point out things Democrats are actually doing and have said that they're doing, and people will go, that's crazy, there's no way.
00:30:58.000Whereas they will just make things up and say Trump's trying to do them even though he said no such thing.
00:31:02.000You know what really bothers me about horror movies?
00:31:05.000It's like every single one, I swear, if a person could just write a sane horror movie for once, it's like there's like a zombie is going around and it's just like a mummy Frankenstein and it's punching dogs and it's throwing geese or whatever.
00:31:17.000And then the cops show up and they're like, what happened?
00:31:20.000And he goes, you're not going to believe me.
00:31:21.000But it was a Frankenstein mummy monster zombie that was attacking.
00:31:24.000And they're like, okay, this guy's nuts.
00:31:25.000And I'm like, how come there's just no intelligent sane people in any horror movie where you could literally just be like, I don't know, I think it might have been a wild animal of some sort.
00:32:10.000And then they can go around saying to people like, oh, I'm sorry, did I get too political?
00:32:14.000I'm just not sure if in seven days Donald Trump's gonna round up every obese person and send them to fat camp all at once because he says he doesn't like people when they're overweight.
00:32:22.000No, he's going to make sure that they all love him.
00:32:24.000All right, we got another story, my friends.
00:33:13.000It's along the line of cute aggression.
00:33:16.000It's the urge to squeeze or bite things perceived as cute without the desire to cause any harm.
00:33:21.000It is a common type of dimorphous display where a person experiences positive and negative expressions simultaneously in a disorganized manner.
00:33:30.000Individuals experiencing cute aggression may find themselves clenching their jaws or fists with the urge to squish, pinch, or bite an adorable baby, animal, or object.
00:33:38.000Well, it's like people will go like, oh, you're so cute, and like pinch a baby's cheek.
00:33:59.000Snopes is going to come out and be like, an infant, which was deceptively dressed as a chicken to look delicious, was bit by Joe Biden in a gotcha, in a sting operation.
00:37:40.000Because you can buy your gold, you can buy your emergency food, but I think there's a single-digit percentage chance that you may be hunting sometime soon.
00:39:07.000And we were talking before about how the October surprise would be Joe Biden stepping down and Kamala Harris assuming the presidency right before the election.
00:39:14.000I don't know if that matters though because early voting is so pronounced right now.
00:39:42.000Listen, if you can't even get out and vote right now, you are definitely going to die if you get sent to World War III. You're not one of the guys who survives.
00:40:03.000It's actually like, no, actually, by the time they make it through all the young people who are flat-footed and morbidly obese, they're coming for the athletic late 30s people.
00:40:15.000But it's okay, because Sheamus is a canary in a coal mine.
00:40:52.000No, but in all seriousness, going back to the thing about, you know, Joe Biden's brain being melted, can we talk about how serious that is?
00:45:10.000And then come election day, your phone batteries will be dead, you will have no internet service, and you will not be able to record all of these psychotic behavior.
00:45:17.000But rest assured, my friends, they are filming themselves already.
00:45:21.000Okay, so how's everybody's nerves about this election?
00:45:59.000And, you know, if you voted, if you donated, if you could...
00:46:03.000She's like saying, like, it's like she's giving a speech like she's leaving Middle Earth.
00:46:08.000I'll say, like, there is a sense in which we really need to re-stigmatize mental illness because people will just talk about how they're on pills as if it's a badge of honor.
00:46:17.000Dude, that's not something you need to broadcast to people.
00:46:19.000And by the way, if you are mentally ill to the point where you require medication, listen, I'm sorry, that's a tough break.
00:46:26.000It's not necessarily, in many cases, a moral failing.
00:46:32.000If you're mentally ill to the point where you can't interact with reality without drugs, then I'm not gonna take your advice on who to vote for.
00:46:44.000I mean, the challenge to it is always that the government would forcefully medicate conservatives, but I still don't think that the pitfalls is a good enough argument to allow people who are clearly disturbed to vote because both prospects are horrifying.
00:46:59.000It's just people will like brag about being mentally ill nowadays.
00:47:06.000Yeah, then like, believe, I know, and listen, I, yeah, we're all, they're neuroatypical, and me, with my typical neurons over here, I could just never understand.
00:47:14.000It's like, if you're gonna sit here and brag about being mentally ill, I'm sorry, like, I'm not gonna take your advice on how to live my life or how the country should be run.
00:47:19.000People are not only bragging about it, but they will self-diagnose just so they can say that they're mentally ill.
00:47:26.000They may not actually have a mental illness.
00:47:28.000They might just be a little on the neurotic side, and they'll say, oh, well, I have this, I have that.
00:47:32.000And they'll tell everybody, they'll put it in their bios on X or whatever, so that way they get the attention from other people saying, oh, I'm sorry, and the virtue points, you know?
00:47:47.000Yeah, aside from the fact that she looks like the love child of Keith Olbermann and Mark Cuban, in the 2016 debate, Trump rose to prominence because he roasted her on the debate stage.
00:48:02.000So it kind of makes sense that Rosie O'Donnell, out of anyone, would be taking pills as a result of Donald Trump becoming president.
00:48:10.000She got significantly embarrassed by him.
00:48:15.000But I mean, I don't know that there's a great way to figure out who should and should not be prevented from voting because of the medication they're on.
00:48:44.000You don't want people that are crazy or neurotic or whatever deciding the direction of the country at the same time.
00:48:53.000Any power you give to the federal government is a weapon that you're giving to the federal government.
00:48:57.000Yeah, and by the way, I don't think anyone's actually seriously suggesting that, but it's kind of an interesting question to ask, and in part because we have this default assumption right now that voting is this very important thing that can decide the future of our country, and every vote counts, but also our default position should be that every adult is allowed to vote.
00:49:15.000If voting is this very important thing, then it needs to be taken seriously.
00:49:18.000And we need to ensure that somebody is of a certain level of consideration or concern or status to actually have any kind of stake in the future of the system.
00:49:28.000So, for example, I just think it's an insane idea that a father of six who's worked hard his entire life to provide for his family can have his vote canceled out by some 18-year-old who just took out $200,000 in student debt to go to art school.
00:49:44.000I think it's silly to say that everyone should just get an equal say.
00:49:49.000And by the way, there is no justification for that argument I've heard, which doesn't just apply to communism as a concept.
00:49:55.000It's always, well, everything needs to be equal for everyone.
00:49:57.000We need to ensure everyone has an equal say.
00:50:00.000Some people are more qualified to make decisions and have more of an incentive to make choices that are in line with the long-term flourishing of our country.
00:50:06.000That's why I feel I should be in charge of Freedom Tunes.
00:50:21.000You know, what's kind of crazy is, um, I was just thinking about the olden days, like, you know, 1600s or whatever, and it was quite difficult to survive relative to today.
00:50:30.000That just meant that, like, mentally ill people did not survive.
00:50:35.000And so all the people of sound survival mind survived and they would vote and they would have kids.
00:50:40.000But over a long enough period of time with technological advancements, we've created a society where we now have a critical mass of people who are...
00:50:49.000Otherwise incapable of making decisions for themselves.
00:50:54.000The weight of that becomes a lot to bear for any society, I believe will ultimately result inadvertently into a system that once again becomes harsh and chaotic, resulting in people losing their lives.
00:51:04.000Yeah, I actually have a slightly different take.
00:51:06.000I agree with the general sentiment, but I would say that Our modern life incentivizes and promotes and even just flat out pushes people into ways of life that are so unnatural that people who would otherwise be mentally healthy become mentally ill.
00:51:56.000I actually think a large component of mental instability right now with identity crises is due to mass media and to a great degree cartoons.
00:52:08.000So for almost the entirety of human civilization, moving pictures didn't exist.
00:52:13.000Humans identified with other humans for the most part.
00:52:16.000I'm sure there were people who identify with animals in weird ways, but they probably would not survive very well or they just grew up starting by wolves or something.
00:52:22.000But now you have people who actually identify as cartoons, things that are not real.
00:53:47.000You take two young people who have no idea how the world works, put them next to each other, and they're going to keep bouncing nonsense off each other and then developing crazy ideas.
00:54:07.000I think another part of it is just the idea of mass education in general and not structuring it in a way that actually took into account the fact that different people have a different capacity for learning.
00:54:15.000But that said, media is a large part of it.
00:54:18.000Even just the medium itself, watching something as opposed to reading.
00:54:22.000Obviously, reading something is something that requires a bit more discipline and it'll build brain power.
00:54:59.000There are people that believe that if you read to your children, you're giving your children an unfair advantage over kids that don't have parents that can read to them.
00:55:07.000And yes, absolutely, you should read to your kids.
00:55:13.000But the point is, like, children should be...
00:55:16.000Like, you should engage with your children as if they are small adults.
00:55:21.000Not expect them to do things that adults do.
00:55:23.000But you should talk to them slowly and clearly.
00:55:27.000And you shouldn't do baby talk with them.
00:55:29.000Like, you shouldn't do any of that stuff.
00:55:31.000Because they're going to absorb what they hear.
00:55:35.000So you want them to hear properly articulated English so that way they can absorb that and that will get them to the point or that will give them an advantage when it comes time to learn.
00:55:46.000You can start teaching your children about letters when they're like two.
00:55:50.000You don't have to be like, oh, you must know this, but you can start exposing them to things that they're going to need to know when they're a year and a half.
00:56:00.000You don't have to wait until they're like four or five to be like, okay, well, now you're going to start learning because you're not going to need to know.
00:57:05.000And I'm just like, the things that kids are...
00:57:07.000You're telling your kids, they will never forget.
00:57:09.000And if it's not something they can consciously remember, it'll be the fabric of their being.
00:57:13.000And it's extremely dark when you consider the fact that there are many things that we used to consider to be very inappropriate for children that we're now trying to expose children to.
00:57:22.000So we try to slip sexual perversion into basically everything now.
00:57:26.000There will be children's shows that show mastectomy scars as the result of sex change procedures that will have to show a character with two dads.
00:57:34.000But then we won't expose kids to realities That we used to be comfortable exposing them to.
00:57:40.000So if you watch children's films from the 80s or 70s or earlier, people die, right?
00:57:49.000We've done this strange thing where we've sanitized children's media to the point where there are no stakes and there isn't any real lesson to learn beyond be yourself and nothing unfortunate or terrible or permanently bad happens to the protagonist.
00:58:04.000So no real message has any kind of impact.
00:58:06.000but then we'll slip in a bunch of really disgusting perversion that children really shouldn't be exposed to.
00:59:05.000So now we're at the period where if the law that exists is the right law, but for some reason it's disproportionately affecting one racial group, the law must be done away with.
00:59:16.000So it's like, if one racial group commits a bunch of crimes, the law cannot be allowed to exist?
00:59:22.000Can they say the same about daylight savings, so we can get rid of that, say that it has some racial implications, and maybe we can keep the time the same all year?
00:59:30.000Yeah, but I think what they're trying to do with daylight savings is keep the daylight longer.
00:59:34.000So it's like, they want the day to be longer, they don't want to go back.
00:59:40.000So right now what I'm hearing is, because I think this weekend is daylight savings, right?
00:59:44.000Yeah, people are like, no, no, we shouldn't do it.
01:00:03.000This was attributed in a meme to a wise Native American man, but people make things up, so who knows.
01:00:09.000But the line was like, the Europeans think that they can make a quilt longer by cutting off of the bottom and then sewing it to the top, which is effectively what daylight savings time is.
01:00:23.000Despite the fact that roughly 200 people have been killed in New York City in the last five years while jaywalking, the city has now legalized jaywalking, outlawed since 1958, with supporters claiming the laws against jaywalking were racist.
01:00:33.000The city council passed a bill last month permitting jaywalking.
01:00:37.000Democratic Mayor Eric Adams never vetoed the bill, and it became law and will go into effect in roughly 120 days.
01:00:41.000Prior to the law being abolished, a violation cost as much as $300.
01:00:48.000There is no circumstance where people aren't jaywalking in New York.
01:00:51.000That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.
01:00:52.000This law doesn't need to be racist to be gotten rid of.
01:00:55.000But if this is the way they're going...
01:00:58.000Quote, jaywalking is not genuinely associated with traffic safety and instead is often used as a pretext to stop black and brown individuals.
01:01:43.000It's part of a broader decriminalization of everything.
01:01:46.000Joseph Borelli, the Republican minority leader in New York City Council, stated fellow GOP Councilwoman Vicki Palladino echoed that the move would promote chaos and make streets far more dangerous.
01:01:56.000I actually agree with that, because now people are just going to be crossing randomly all over the place, all over Manhattan.
01:02:02.000And that's actually going to be kind of messed up.
01:05:01.000I mean they'll say it's restorative justice or something like that.
01:05:03.000And really what it is is an effort to disrupt the system that exists.
01:05:08.000Listen, I can understand saying there aren't enough police, it's hard for us to enforce these laws, but the idea that what we need right now is to give more criminals a pass is so backwards.
01:05:21.000So guys, look, I just pulled up the New York City government 2023 enforcement report.
01:06:07.000I think it's fair to say that the law itself must be abolished, all of it, because no matter what it is, it is disproportionately affecting black people.
01:07:02.000They'll say they abolish the police, but then they'll send a social worker with a nightstick over to your house to beat you for defending yourself.
01:07:07.000Who's going to stop me from having a gun?
01:07:24.000Right, so you have this guy who'd been arrested upwards of 30 times in one case for grabbing a child.
01:07:31.000He's on the subway screaming in people's faces saying he's gonna kill them.
01:07:35.000Daniel Penny steps in, saves everybody there, and now he's gonna be potentially kept off the street for the rest of his life, even though the guy who he had to restrain had 30-something arrests and was still out on the streets.
01:08:56.000I'm actually excited to see what happens in New York now that people are told outright that jaywalking is illegal.
01:09:00.000Well, part of what they do with the most egregious offenses, they just try to redefine what the offense is.
01:09:08.000So they didn't write a law saying weird perverts who get off on dressing as women are allowed to go in women's changing rooms.
01:09:15.000They just redefined the terms and said, well, this is a trans woman and this trans woman should be able to go in the women's restroom.
01:09:24.000So I think often it's not even a matter of repealing the law.
01:09:27.000It's just about redefining things in a way that allows them to give people a pass on bad behavior.
01:09:31.000And we see that, too, even with they're literally showing pornography to children in schools.
01:09:36.000But it's not like they repealed the law that says you're not allowed to show pornography to children.
01:09:41.000They just redefined something that was obviously porn and started calling it sex ed, even though it was rated as M.A. by Amazon.
01:09:49.000and the author was creating it to indulge their fetish.
01:09:51.000That's the whole reason that the left wants to control, like, definitions and stuff, is because if they can't change the law, they're completely happy with changing the words so the law means something different.
01:10:03.000And that's one of the reasons why they want to have, you know, you hear people on the left constantly saying, oh, we have a living constitution.
01:10:47.000And that system in itself would radically change how people choose their elected officials.
01:10:54.000And I think both the Democrat establishment and the Republican establishment are out against it, but seeing what it's done in other states is terrible.
01:11:05.000If they can't get their way with changing the law itself, I think they're going to be changing the system of how we choose our lawmakers.
01:11:47.000So this is the infamous story that was coming out where everybody said that they were trying to censor prominent right-wing channels right before the election.
01:11:54.000But the thing is, the article itself is nowhere near the front page.
01:12:01.000It's in the technology section, and it was actually kind of hard to find.
01:12:04.000So this is probably just some, like, young, new hire guy who was like, I got a story, and they're like, sure, whatever, dude, we don't care.
01:12:12.000And then he ended up publishing just basically nothing.
01:12:14.000Do you think they kind of buried it because, like, everybody, like Benny Johnson and Ben Shapiro and everyone was talking about it before the thing came out?
01:12:22.000No, because they wouldn't have messaged everybody.
01:12:26.000Like, by sending a message to literally everyone, it was like, the issue is that they failed.
01:12:39.000So out of 30 people, there's an average of around like 9 or so videos per person over the span of like 6 months where we're all posting like 8 to 10 videos per day.
01:12:50.000They're basically saying you have 1 days out of 1 quarter where you may have made an error.
01:14:01.000An earlier version of this article misstated the number of videos that YouTube reviewed when asked for comment and whether they contained misinformation.
01:14:06.000YouTube said it reviewed eight videos, which were identified by the New York Times and referenced in the article, not all of them, and found that those eight did not violate its community guidelines.
01:14:13.000It did not comment on whether they contained misinformation.
01:14:19.000That is election misinformation during an election, and I think YouTube should ban you.
01:14:22.000Yeah, I think YouTube should ban them.
01:14:24.000Listen, I think that the New York Times is a horrible publication with a long history of being terrible, and that goes far, far, far beyond this.
01:14:31.000But yeah, the Hole in the More is a great example.
01:14:33.000I mean, but they have a history of denying these kinds of things.
01:14:35.000They even get criticized for not properly covering the Holocaust back during the World War II era.
01:14:42.000So, the Holodomor specifically, though, they had a foreign correspondence reporter with the USSR named Walter Durante, who, it literally came out, just made up basically everything that he said and everything that was published, because he was a communist who wanted to deny the fact that millions of Ukrainians were starved to death.
01:16:29.000I think the other thing is the New York Times is probably...
01:16:33.000I mean, the New York Times is desperate to retain its relevance, and this has been a problem for...
01:16:37.000For many years, long before any of us were on the scene commenting on these kinds of things, as soon as journalism started shifting towards the internet, people started publishing online, and print media was becoming less viable.
01:16:48.000The New York Times has been very worried about how they're going to stay afloat.
01:16:52.000I remember some years ago, I was in a media literacy class, and we watched this documentary on the New York Times, and I believe it was the chief manager there at the time was...
01:17:06.000Print media wasn't out, and the New York Times was still fantastic.
01:17:09.000And the answer that he gave to them is, you see all these popular stories online?
01:17:14.000Well, I'll have you know that even though they got all these views in these different news websites that are purely digital, many of these stories were broken in traditional print media or on the New York Times.
01:17:22.000And you just go, okay, you dingus, The whole point is they're moving away from traditional media and there's nothing you're doing right now that digital journalists or people publishing online can't do.
01:17:33.000So they're trying to cling to relevance.
01:17:35.000They're very upset because they're not just losing profitability, right?
01:17:39.000They are losing control over a narrative.
01:17:41.000They've had a tremendous amount of power for a very long time.
01:17:43.000They abused that power horribly by covering up genocide and lying to the American people and supporting totalitarian regimes.
01:17:50.000Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.
01:17:52.000The fact that they're trying to regain that That control over the narrative is probably the key piece to what they're doing here.
01:18:02.000I mean, it's not just X, although X was kind of leading the charge.
01:18:07.000But you see the reverberations of X being a platform where other voices are actually heard.
01:18:15.000We mentioned the Washington Post and the Bezos...
01:18:22.000Op-ed the other day, you see YouTube turning them down or saying, no, there's nothing that these groups haven't done anything wrong, so we're not going to do any kind of strikes or anything.
01:18:35.000If this was five years ago, YouTube would have bowed as soon as they said, hey, do this, because the narrative was totally controlled.
01:18:44.000Almost 100% controlled by the establishment.
01:18:48.000I mean, you had the FBI lawyer, an FBI lawyer was leading the...
01:18:53.000I forget what the desk was called, but he had a desk at Twitter.
01:18:58.000I mean, there was no distinction between the federal government and the...
01:19:04.000Essentially the tech companies and the media, it was all one, it was all part of the blob, you know, so the fact that Twitter has, or X has made it possible for dissenting voices to be heard without being, you know, just booted for having a dissenting voice, it means that other organizations and stuff are going to have started to fall away.
01:19:28.000Yeah, well, and I think there's an additional piece here, which is that as of 2023, YouTube has a new CEO. So aside from this being an election year and them desperately wanting to remove conservative content because they don't want the vote to be swayed or just dissident content in general, it's possible they also want to send a message to the new CEO of YouTube.
01:19:45.000Yes, we will try to get advertisers to boycott you.
01:19:49.000We will smear you if you allow dissidents to express opinions that the New York Times doesn't consider to be acceptable.
01:19:55.000Yeah, when you start to understand that the New York Times is just a bulletin board, a blog for the deep state intelligence agencies, then it makes seeing through the bullshit like some of these articles way easier.
01:20:10.000In fact, you should probably subscribe and watch all the people that are on that thumbnail.
01:22:29.000Can you give a recap on why you're suing them?
01:22:31.000The Kamala Harris campaign took a post of me out of context and claimed that I was a Trump operative who supported Donald Trump having extra judicial authority to round up and execute Democrat voters.
01:22:49.000In the shows with Laura Loomer, I said that if there, just the full context is, if there are Democrats that have committed crimes, and we know some who have, they should be criminally charged.
01:23:00.000There should be an investigation, evidence, criminal charges.
01:23:05.000And then after the trial, if they're found guilty among a jury of their peers, then they will be sentenced.
01:23:12.000Laura Loomer then said that the people who committed treason should get the death penalty.
01:23:17.000Ending the show on that remark, we talked about in the extended after show that I don't believe any of these people actually committed treason, sedition perhaps.
01:23:25.000But we're talking about like Joe Biden with documents.
01:23:35.000And I went on to say that I don't agree with the death penalty.
01:23:38.000I believe that that death penalty is wrong.
01:23:39.000I believe that the current law prescribes a death penalty and that if someone commits a crime under the current law, they should, under the law, receive what the law prescribes, though I don't agree with the law prescribes.
01:23:51.000And for this, I have filed suit because they have made false claims about me.
01:23:56.000And it's the basis for which why Sam Cedar will be here tomorrow.
01:23:59.000Because he made a video where he opened it saying that I said something about people should get the death penalty if they commit crimes or whatever.
01:24:49.000Well, I mean, they're so accustomed to just being able to lie about whatever they want.
01:24:52.000This is why we just saw that ad a little while ago where people were saying, in seven days, I don't know if I'll be able to own a dog anymore.
01:24:59.000Things that aren't even political issues that nobody's talking about.
01:25:01.000They really feel like they feel entitled, firstly, to say that Donald Trump is the author or person who commissioned Project 2025.
01:25:10.000And then, when he hasn't even read it and has nothing to do with it, and then they will make up all sorts of false allegations about what's in it.
01:25:17.000So they've just gotten used to being able to flagrantly lie, and then eventually they tell direct lies about people and misrepresent things that they've said, and I really hope that you're able to take them to court and that they lose because they need to learn a lesson for this.
01:25:29.000And the establishment is where you hear people complain the most about misinformation and disinformation, and yet they're every bit or more guilty of spreading falsehoods as any podcaster or anything.
01:26:12.000What I'm saying is the New York Times, or I'm sorry, Time Magazine, traditional media, literally published an article saying that they went out of their way to have a shadow campaign to save the election.
01:26:23.000Fortifying, was that an article or I thought that...
01:26:26.000They said they ran a shadow campaign to fortify the election.
01:26:34.000So they talk about misinformation that's spread by podcasts and new media, but they have told far more harmful and consequential lies than anyone in independent media.
01:27:33.000And so the sad reality, I think, for a lot of people, and a lot of people don't want to hear this, is the country may have already hit that point.
01:28:32.000So it's like if you're going to sue and you and someone wronged you, like if someone in New York, for instance, I don't know, committed fraud, like copyright infringement or something against me, the likelihood that I'd be able to sue them if I went to New York, it's like zero.
01:29:16.000Yeah, he actually went on his show and told Trump supporters to vote on the day that's after the election day, without clarifying that the joke was not to vote late, was to vote past, like when you can't vote, you literally can't vote.
01:29:27.000So people are saying he should get charged, and I agree, a red state needs to go after him right now.
01:29:53.000What if several thousand people show up at their voting location on Thursday or Friday, like Jimmy Kimmel said, and they're like, what do you mean I can't vote?
01:29:59.000Jimmy Kimmel on his show said we could vote Thursday and Friday.
01:30:01.000He said you were late doing it, but you could do it.
01:30:04.000And they're going to be like, no, he lied.
01:30:06.000This will be more evidence that there is a two-tiered justice system in the United States.
01:30:13.000If you are a conservative or if you are not of the preferred political persuasion, the law applies to you differently.
01:30:21.000And look, normally I would say it was ridiculous to even talk about going after somebody for a joke like this, but a Republican went to jail for it.
01:30:28.000A guy literally went to jail for sharing a meme that made effectively the exact same joke.
01:30:34.000They charged him with election interference.
01:31:15.000The worst part of it is the efforts to chill free speech, to chill people that would criticize the government.
01:31:22.000There's a lot of people that would be more critical of the government if it wasn't for the fact that they're afraid of what the government will do.
01:31:28.000In the Time magazine article about the shadow campaign, their words, there's a photo of Trump supporters looking through the windows and them covering it so they can't see inside, which makes literally no sense.
01:31:38.000And it says Trump supporters seek to disrupt the vote count.
01:31:41.000It's like, bro, they're looking through clear windows.
01:32:05.000It's crazy because lefties, you'd imagine, would have the sense to say it's going to be really bad optics if we complain about illegals and non-citizens being removed from voter rolls.
01:32:24.000But it's election interference to stop them from voting.
01:32:26.000They're constantly saying what it is, it's to get rid of people that are actually legally allowed to vote, which is just ridiculous.
01:32:35.000This law in Virginia, it was a Democrat was in office when it was put into effect, and the last time that they used it to clean up the voter rolls, it was a Democrat that was in the governor's office.
01:32:50.000So it's all just a narrative that they're trying to spin about conservatives.
01:32:55.000It has nothing to do with the reality of the situation, which is typical, but that's the situation that's going on now in Virginia.
01:33:40.000Men have not been turning out in large enough numbers.
01:33:42.000Of the few posters, Dave Wasserman on Twitter, I think in the past, from 2016 to now, his tweets that were previewing Election Day a few days before the election, 2016 he said it was leaning Trump, 2020 he said it was leaning Biden.
01:34:01.000I think he just put out a tweet, quote, tweeting those same tweets and said it's going to be close.
01:34:28.000Well, unfortunately, when Catholics do vote, they vote for people who are in favor of things that are totally in opposition to church teaching.
01:35:00.000There's a funny story that Congressman Gates told me.
01:35:04.000And he says it sometimes on the campaign trail.
01:35:06.000I think he was in Iowa or New Hampshire when it was in the very early primary days when Nikki Haley and DeSantis were still in the race.
01:35:15.000And he went to a coffee shop and there was a waitress there who recognized Matt Gates and was like, She was so hyped and she was like, Matt, can I take a photo with you?
01:35:28.000And she was like, man, my boyfriend's going to be so jealous that he wasn't working today.
01:35:35.000And Matt said he was like, or I'm sorry, when she was initially asking for the photo, she was like, He was like, I will take a photo with you if you get your boyfriend out to come vote for Trump.
01:35:46.000And she tells Matt Gaetz, she's like, not only am I going to get my boyfriend out to vote for Donald Trump, I'm going to get all of my ex-boyfriends to come out and vote for Donald Trump.
01:36:16.000Because what you do is, if you have, like, a former, an ex who really hates you, you text her and being like, I bet you're one of those Trumpsters.
01:36:22.000Well, I'm voting Harris so we can stop people like you.
01:36:24.000And she'll be like, I'm voting for Trump.
01:36:30.000Smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know.
01:36:33.000Leave us a good review on the audio podcasts.
01:36:35.000It would be hilarious if every review on the iTunes review was like, this is the greatest show everyone agrees, at least that's what I've been told.
01:36:42.000And then go to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, that members only show is going to come up, and Seamus promised to say something naughty.
01:37:57.000The Trump interview is interesting to see Trump, but the J.D. Vance one's genuinely like, I'm in the first 15 minutes, and I was like, wow, I need to watch this.
01:38:05.000I want to know the joke that his kid told Trump.
01:38:46.000It was cool to see these two dynamic guys finally in the same room together, but I feel like I learned a lot more about J.D. Vance in this new interview.
01:38:55.000I feel like I really didn't know him that well beforehand, but you really do get to learn a lot about J.D. in this interview.
01:39:01.000I haven't seen the full J.D. Vance, did you watch it?
01:41:57.000I already have, it will be interesting to see how my thoughts and opinions change, but I've already got great plans for my chess-playing poker champion ninja daughter, so we're going to be great, and then in 20 years she'll look back at these videos.
01:42:23.000And it's kind of a crazy thing that that record will exist.
01:42:26.000It's going to be like, I'll be saying to her, I'll be like, if you want to know what I was thinking, like what happened in 2019 with Trump, like there's literally 300 videos you can watch every day tracking the news and my thoughts on the matter.
01:43:58.000I always tell people, like, probably one of the most effective ways to get an ad read is not necessarily just buying a sponsor spot, but crossing your fingers that you do a big super chat, and then we get to it.
01:45:33.000Because he was like, before this era, he was considered like a stoic scholar, like a religious scholar who would calmly discuss these things.
01:45:41.000Now he's like foaming at the mouth fervent, trying to punch little kids.
01:45:45.000Well, if you eat someone's brain, you get their mental illness.
01:45:48.000Or you get prion disease, or you get encephalopathy.
01:47:15.000I mean, we've been saying it for the past couple weeks at the very least.
01:47:19.000It's it cannot like it cannot be overstated how important it is for you to go out and vote because women have the propensity to vote more than men.
01:47:28.000And it is more likely that women are going to vote for Kamala Harris.
01:47:31.000That is that is probably going to be the deciding factor.
01:47:35.000It's going to is the deciding factor will likely be if men get out and vote.
01:47:40.000If men go out and vote, Donald Trump will likely win.
01:47:44.000If men stay home and they don't get out and vote and they can't be bothered, then Kamala Harris will likely win.
01:47:48.000And if Kamala Harris wins, that will be a terrible, terrible four years.
01:47:53.000And it possibly could be the end of, like, we could end up in a one-party system like California.
01:50:50.000Paul Teaskalo says the video and acts of a Haitian migrant claim he got to the U.S. six months ago already has citizenship and just voted for Kamala in Gwinnett County, GA. Must be investigated.
01:52:36.000Noah Price says, I take Zoloft for PTSD. Should I not be able to vote?
01:52:40.000I think there are, like I said, there are situations where you have people who have some kind of mental illness for reasons that they aren't to blame for.
01:52:46.000But I think when you have these people who go out and boast about their mental illnesses, and they talk about the fact that they take these pills in a trendy kind of way, it's a massive red flag to me.
01:52:58.000The point is they want the social credit.
01:53:01.000They want the points, the virtue points.
01:53:05.000You have something you're struggling with and you're somehow a victim, so you get social kudos.
01:53:12.000Yeah, and having PTSD, and there's people I know of PTSD from things that are genuinely traumatic, people who have it from serving our country or taking medication for it, that's obviously well and good.
01:53:22.000But then you'll have people who will literally claim that they got PTSD from Twitter and stuff, where you're like, okay, if you claim that and you want to get medicated for it, then yeah, you're not someone who I trust to make decisions.
01:53:33.000Many people are asking when I'm getting married.
01:54:04.000I've been so busy with election stuff, I haven't looked into it too much, but there have been some, like, hilarious memes of her burning heretics.
01:54:14.000Listen, from what I have seen, and again, I haven't paid much attention to it, but it's this little mascot that the Vatican made to appeal to the popular culture, and it's been relatively controversial, but I think the memes have been hilarious.
01:54:29.000Can we, like, re-skin the game Heretic to make it a Catholic going after the Heretics?
01:56:15.000Yeah, yeah, which seems like a weird deranged thing to have in Tolkien's universe.
01:56:19.000So it's like, yeah, if you follow the natural timeline of the Rings of Power to Lord of the Rings, there was a period where there was great diversity, and then later on it's just only white people.
01:56:40.000Yeah, in Lord of the Rings, orcs are—Sauron and Mordor, whatever, kidnap elves, then torture them for years and twist them into disgusting monsters, and they're just all men.
01:56:50.000And then in the show, there's, like, orcs with wives and children.
01:56:59.000But we live in this society where we're actually extremely uncomfortable with the idea that some people are bad and do bad things.
01:57:05.000And so what we have to do is create these really boring, morally gray stories where we can't point to anyone as bad.
01:57:10.000It's like, dude, sometimes that can work as a story, but it's also still entertaining to have stories where there are just obvious good guys and obvious bad guys.
01:59:06.000And then you're going to go, holy crap, I should have voted early.
01:59:09.000Or it's going to be like Cary Lake in Maricopa, and they're going to go, for whatever reason, 200 ballot machines have the wrong printed paper, so sorry, you can't vote.
01:59:18.000You're going to have to vote by provisional ballot and put it in a box somewhere, and then half the people leave or whatever.
01:59:22.000So you vote early to make sure you get it done, get it out of the way.
01:59:25.000And you also decentralize the process, making it harder to cheat.
01:59:33.000But as long as we have this system, it is better to decentralize the process.
01:59:37.000If all Trump supporters voted on Election Day, which they count on, it's easy for one crazy person to take one box and go, this box is going to be 80% Trump thrown in the garbage.
02:00:49.000Joel, do you want to shout anything out?
02:00:51.000Yeah, I mean, guys, we got to get out and vote.
02:00:53.000If you live in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Nevada, it's going to be critically important that you guys get out to vote.
02:01:00.000So if you can vote early, go ahead and do it.
02:01:02.000If not, get your butts to the poll on Election Day.
02:01:08.000If you want to follow me, follow me at RealJoelValdez.
02:01:11.000I'm primarily on X Instagram and TikTok.
02:01:13.000I post behind-the-scenes content of me on Capitol Hill and At Trump rallies and traveling across the nation with Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz.
02:01:21.000So thanks, Tim, again for having me on the show.
