Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Survives Assassination Attempt, VANCE IS VP PICK w-Natalie Winters & Viva Frei | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 On Saturday, July 13, 2024, a man attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, a former president

00:00:14.000 and the frontrunner for the presidential election this year.

00:00:18.000 He ended up striking several people in the crowd, killing one man, a father, and a firefighter, Corey Comperatore.

00:00:27.000 It's a sad story.

00:00:28.000 Many people say that he missed.

00:00:29.000 He missed Donald Trump because Trump survived.

00:00:31.000 But Trump actually did get hit.

00:00:32.000 I know most of you know this and we do have new developments.

00:00:35.000 It's being reported now that the police were informed of this man on the roof for 26 minutes prior to the attack on Trump.

00:00:44.000 Now, initially, over the weekend, we didn't know exactly what happened.

00:00:47.000 Some said it had been about 40 or so seconds.

00:00:49.000 Then we learned it was two whole minutes where people were screaming, a man's on the roof, and police and Secret Service took no action.

00:00:56.000 We're now hearing reports that it was 26.

00:00:58.000 This raises a lot of questions, especially with reports that the roof the man was on was a staging area for police.

00:01:06.000 So how could this have happened?

00:01:08.000 That this man had a line of sight directly to Donald Trump, 130 yards away.

00:01:15.000 Police were warned over and over again, and not one, not one law enforcement officer of any, in any way, simply said to their radio, get the president off the stage.

00:01:26.000 Not one.

00:01:27.000 Fortunately, Donald Trump tilted his head just a few seconds before the shot, and the bullet instead ripped through his ear.

00:01:36.000 He fell down.

00:01:37.000 Secret Service surrounded him.

00:01:38.000 He stands up, raises his fist, covered in blood, and screams, Fight!

00:01:42.000 Fight!

00:01:44.000 Things are certainly getting insane.

00:01:46.000 The rhetoric, of course, has been crazy.

00:01:48.000 Joe Biden gave a statement on the matter.

00:01:50.000 And we do have some more updates, and we'll talk about the response from Democrats and from many progressive activists.

00:01:56.000 And then we do have more news, of course.

00:01:57.000 Donald Trump has announced J.D.

00:01:59.000 Vance is his vice president.

00:02:01.000 So we're going to talk about that and so much more.

00:04:01.000 I'm so grateful to be here with all of you.

00:04:03.000 Let's get started.

00:04:04.000 And, uh, just so all of you know, we're here live at the RNC, and, um, in one of the many locations.

00:04:10.000 You may have noticed, the cameras look, for those who are watching live, we all look a bit yellow.

00:04:14.000 We are in, like, a 1970s conference room, where we're going to be doing our live show.

00:04:18.000 So head over to TimCast.com.

00:04:20.000 There are a few tickets, just a little bit, still available, if you want to come to our live show Thursday, the finale of the RNC, in Milwaukee, if you're around.

00:04:28.000 Then, uh, pick up your tickets at TimCast.com.

00:04:30.000 Let's jump into the first story, of course.

00:04:33.000 And we'll begin with the image that is going to be in the history books forever.

00:04:37.000 This picture of Donald Trump that was taken by, I believe the man's name, is it Evan Vucci?

00:04:43.000 Maybe his name, I hope I'm not getting that wrong.

00:04:45.000 Credit to this photographer.

00:04:47.000 And Donald Trump surrounded by Secret Service agents pulling him from the stage, raising a fist with blood streaking down his face and the American flag in sight.

00:04:55.000 This is the iconic image of a president who refused to be stopped, who refused to be put down.

00:05:02.000 But there's breaking news and there's a lot of information.

00:05:04.000 I got to be honest, we got to go through all of these photos and let me see if I have this.

00:05:12.000 Where is the?

00:05:14.000 This photograph is going to be iconic for the rest of American history and it's going to be defining of what is an evil regime versus the good that's fighting.

00:05:25.000 Which is the one raising the flag?

00:05:29.000 It's as iconic as that.

00:05:30.000 It looks like The Cosmos scripted it to look similar.

00:05:33.000 Well, if you were watching this live, if you were watching that, which we all watched live and then watched clips of,

00:05:38.000 I'm sure, what I thought was really so amazing in that moment was

00:05:41.000 that the Secret Service tried to keep him down, and you could see him saying,

00:05:45.000 saying wait wait and then raise his fist and say fight fight fight.

00:05:48.000 And you had a lot of Democrat pundits and leftists saying, you know, this was defiant and all of this stuff.

00:05:54.000 But I thought it was something more.

00:05:55.000 I thought that it was reassuring.

00:05:58.000 It was actually calming.

00:05:59.000 It was actually a moment of optimism, because what he did was he said, I just I just got shot.

00:06:06.000 But we're all here.

00:06:08.000 I'm still here.

00:06:09.000 I'm still going to lead us forward.

00:06:11.000 You're still here, right?

00:06:13.000 For the most part, except for the tragic story of the one man who did pass.

00:06:17.000 But he basically gave us all a sense of optimism and hope.

00:06:22.000 And we needed that in that moment.

00:06:23.000 It was reassuring.

00:06:24.000 And it reminded me of after 9-11.

00:06:26.000 I was living in Philadelphia at the time, and we got the feed from New York, the local New York One feed.

00:06:34.000 Rudy Giuliani got on TV and he said alternate side of the street parking is suspended for tomorrow and I thought that is calming, that is reassuring, that is tomorrow is coming, New York is still here, everything is still the same, don't worry about moving your cars everyone.

00:06:51.000 And I got a similar sense, different, but a similar sense of like, we are America, we are here, we are strong, we are still moving forward, we are not put down.

00:06:51.000 Yeah.

00:07:00.000 And I loved that about it.

00:07:01.000 I think you could hear that in the crowd, too, right?

00:07:03.000 They're screaming, there's anxiety, and when he stands up, you get that USA chant, right?

00:07:07.000 There's this moment of rallying around Trump and what he symbolizes as a country, because this will be one of those things where everyone says, where were you when you heard that President Trump had been shot in Pennsylvania?

00:07:16.000 I mean, it is Going to change the course of American history the same way that 9-11 did, or RFK's assassination did.

00:07:22.000 We always, once we have a complete picture of what happened, we reflect on things a little differently.

00:07:29.000 The moment this happened, my phone is lighting up.

00:07:33.000 I pull up the feed, and all I know is, I was told Donald Trump had been shot.

00:07:40.000 And I'm like, is he gonna stand up?

00:07:43.000 He grabbed his neck and collapsed.

00:07:45.000 Is this it?

00:07:46.000 And then I watch him stand up.

00:07:48.000 Secret Service, he's screaming.

00:07:51.000 And I'm just floored.

00:07:53.000 We were hanging out in Milwaukee and I was just enjoying a nice Saturday recreation.

00:07:58.000 The studio was driving into Milwaukee.

00:08:00.000 Nothing was set up.

00:08:01.000 We didn't have keys to the room yet.

00:08:04.000 I'm hanging out at the poker tables.

00:08:06.000 Nobody knew what was going on.

00:08:07.000 Nobody was paying attention.

00:08:09.000 And what was terrifying to me was, as is happening, I'm sitting at this table where everyone's just playing a game and not paying attention, and there's a man to my left who's a local politician.

00:08:18.000 And as soon as it happened, my phone's going, and I'm looking down.

00:08:21.000 I look over to him, and we both look at each other, and I'm like, did you?

00:08:24.000 He's like, yes!

00:08:25.000 And I was like, holy!

00:08:27.000 I wondered to myself, and I asked, I said, how come all of the TVs in this casino did not just change?

00:08:32.000 How come the intercom did not just come on?

00:08:35.000 And the manager said, ladies and gentlemen, we hate to interrupt your entertainment, but an assassination attempt has just been made on Donald Trump at a presidential rally.

00:08:44.000 I feel like that to me is what that sounds that sounds like what would happen.

00:08:50.000 You should know this, and no one knew that this happened.

00:08:55.000 TV was on, they were watching, I think they were watching baseball and basketball, and people were completely oblivious.

00:09:00.000 But, to the point you were making, when, as soon as I saw it, and I pulled up the photo, the guy across from me goes, right alongside Iwo Jima.

00:09:10.000 I think that really is the impact.

00:09:11.000 I mean, because we live in a digital age, these images move faster, but also get spread farther.

00:09:17.000 And to think that this is going to be the image we walk away from from this moment is actually amazing, because again, to contrast with other tragedies we've had in American history, I mean, sometimes it's the car speeding away, right?

00:09:28.000 And instead, we got this clip of Trump saying, let me get my shoes and wait, and then like connecting with the crowd.

00:09:34.000 Look, he's leaving with dignity.

00:09:35.000 This man is bleeding from his ear and he's like, I am walking out kind of on my own terms.

00:09:39.000 I know there's there's questions about how Secret Service reacted.

00:09:42.000 It's not my area of expertise, you know, how long he's on stage and stuff like that.

00:09:45.000 But Trump really said like he acted like the leader of the free world in that moment.

00:09:50.000 He said, I am sending a message.

00:09:50.000 He did.

00:09:52.000 This morning we had Brian Glenn on and we were walking through his kind of first-hand experience at the rally and something that I hadn't really seen reported really anywhere else.

00:10:00.000 He said that once the initial shots rang out that a lot of people in the crowd, he was like 30-40 percent, they turned around and they started yelling at the media saying like, this is your fault, you guys did this.

00:10:14.000 Even Fox News too, they were like, Like going all in on them, which I thought was something that was interesting.

00:10:19.000 But I also have to say, too, I think President Trump was so right to use the words fight.

00:10:25.000 And I know a lot of the kind of prevailing theme that we've been hearing at the RNC, which I've been all day, has been this concept of unity and coming together.

00:10:32.000 And obviously, we're not calling for violence.

00:10:35.000 But I think you have to make the point that you can't have unity and you cannot unite with people who fundamentally want your movement.

00:10:43.000 And want you, as supporters of President Trump, supporters of the MAGA agenda, either locked away in prison like they're doing with Jan Sixers, or in this case, dead.

00:10:52.000 And I don't think that unity is really the word right now, because if the tables were turned and it were a Trump supporter who had tried to shoot President Biden, you would not be hearing the word unity.

00:11:03.000 You would see the media going all in on anyone MAGA, and it'd be a very different tune.

00:11:09.000 This is how it goes every time when we watch the Summer of Love and the far left engage in this like low-tier terrorism.

00:11:17.000 And once again, we've maintained the entire time we have to win through the process because they're the ones trying to destroy the process.

00:11:24.000 We have to uphold and maintain a legal system because they are the ones trying to tear it down.

00:11:29.000 We had a caller last week say, how do we do this when, with the arrest of Steve Bannon and Merrick Garland skirting his criminal charges and getting away with it, how do we function?

00:11:40.000 And it's, we have to keep trying to play through the system because they're hoping that we abandon these rules.

00:11:47.000 They're hoping that we give up on our system.

00:11:50.000 Well, Emma Jo Morris at Breitbart, she said something really smart on Twitter today.

00:11:54.000 She said, there's always this expectation that Trump has to make some gesture of unity with the establishment, but never the expectation for the establishment to make that overture to Trump.

00:12:04.000 And I think that that's really huge because we see that.

00:12:06.000 We saw Biden saying, you know, everybody cool it down, vote at the battle boxes, you know, pray for former Trump.

00:12:14.000 And he had all this stuff out.

00:12:16.000 And then when the White House was asked today, If Biden was going to tone down the rhetoric, he said no, because he doesn't actually have any plans to.

00:12:24.000 He wants everybody to be quiet.

00:12:26.000 Let him continue spewing his propaganda. 0.88

00:12:29.000 And that includes telling Trump and all of Trump supporters and all of conservatives in the country that they are wrong, horrible people.

00:12:37.000 Many in the media often do say we're on the precipice of civil war, and they're usually wrong about it, but I really think we were an inch away this time from something really scary.

00:12:47.000 Perhaps a millimeter away.

00:12:48.000 It was terrifying.

00:12:49.000 The thought of Trump actually being assassinated would be cause for...

00:12:55.000 It would be very dangerous for the country.

00:12:57.000 Obviously, you know, the Republican Party is mostly Trump's party at this point.

00:13:01.000 So the thought of him actually being hurt and killed, I think it adds to the legend of Trump and it solidifies the legend of Trump.

00:13:11.000 He was going to win, obviously, before this, but now...

00:13:14.000 You know, obviously you should.

00:13:16.000 I'm the Canadian here, and I'm watching this, and I'm watching the videos over and over again, and I've watched the JFK assassination.

00:13:22.000 It was violent, it was graphic, it was deliberately publicly displayed to rub in the face of the people, humiliate them, and demoralize them.

00:13:32.000 Had it been that, I'm thinking there, this is how I would write my name somewhere down to get recruited.

00:13:37.000 Send me off to battle, that would be my line in the sand.

00:13:41.000 But the most amazing thing about that image, everybody's got a character of Trump, he's got his orange hair, his 10.

00:13:48.000 That moment where he's red in the face with rage and commitment, and you don't see him as the caricature anymore, that is the human.

00:13:57.000 That is a man who, they just tried to kill him.

00:14:00.000 There's no, you know, I got the best words.

00:14:02.000 That's a man on a mission now and you see him as the human and no longer the character

00:14:05.000 and that's the image that's going to be there.

00:14:06.000 And you start thinking about his family too.

00:14:09.000 You know, that was one thing I thought.

00:14:10.000 I've been on Laura Trump's show a few times and I, you know, she shares pictures of the

00:14:14.000 grandkids and you see his family out there.

00:14:16.000 They're very vocal and you're just like, oh my goodness, imagine seeing your father, you

00:14:21.000 know.

00:14:22.000 I had seen a report and I don't think it's true that Barron was right in front.

00:14:25.000 And I think that's not true at all.

00:14:26.000 But again, you have that moment where you think, like, if Trump stands up and puts his fist and says, I'm OK, like, it's for America, but I'm also sure it's for his family.

00:14:34.000 I mean, we saw Melania's statement where she was like, please remember.

00:14:37.000 I thought it was really interesting.

00:14:39.000 And I think it's so poignant of her style.

00:14:41.000 I think it was beautiful.

00:14:42.000 I also think the timing of all of it, like you were saying, what was it, a difference of literally one millimeter ahead until he was reportedly looking at, you know, charts depicting illegal immigration.

00:14:51.000 But I even think if you take it back to way long before this, I mean, had Democrats and establishment Republicans not put him through the trials and tribulations of all the lawfare, the attacks that they had put him through for years since 2016, he probably would not have been talking about, right, what he would have been talking about in that moment.

00:15:10.000 Who knows if he would have even been in Pennsylvania because his campaign rally schedule could have been different because he wouldn't have been stuck in a New York courtroom.

00:15:17.000 There are so many things that the Democrats put him through that got him to be standing at that stage and that moment to be looking back tilted to the right.

00:15:25.000 Like Steve said, from prison, he had the armor of God in that moment.

00:15:29.000 But when you really, I think, trace it back all the way to 2016, it's mind-blowing.

00:15:34.000 There are a lot of people who are highlighting the American flag.

00:15:37.000 Flipped over in itself and inverted into the shape of a cross.

00:15:37.000 Yeah.

00:15:41.000 Maybe that means something.

00:15:42.000 I don't believe what you want, but I want to say that while they're saying that Donald Trump had some kind of divine intervention here, The idea that Donald Trump tilting his head by a millimeter saved his life.

00:15:56.000 To look at the Jumbotron.

00:15:57.000 To look at a Jumbotron.

00:15:59.000 The odds of this, of everything playing out the way it was, and I think to myself, this is like crazier than the plot of the silliest cheesy action movie.

00:16:09.000 Right, it's the only positive thing illegal immigration has done, which is give Donald Trump that chart to look at.

00:16:13.000 But we're here right now, where Donald Trump Within a few seconds, he's turning to the right, he's talking to people, and then he tilts.

00:16:19.000 And had he not, he would not be here.

00:16:23.000 It's remarkable to think about all of the circumstances that led up to that moment where that shooter was able to get the shot he did.

00:16:28.000 And simply because Trump tilted a slight bit more, it foiled the plan of that man.

00:16:36.000 I want to jump to this story.

00:16:38.000 We have new information which will shock all of you.

00:16:42.000 I have WPXI.com news.

00:16:44.000 Alleged Trump shooter spotted by law enforcement nearly 30 minutes before the shots were fired.

00:16:51.000 The official number is 26.

00:16:52.000 It was 5.45 p.m.

00:16:56.000 Someone called it in.

00:16:58.000 They took a picture of the person.

00:16:59.000 They said that they have learned from a source that person in the picture is Thomas Crooks.

00:17:03.000 We're told it's not clear if he had a gun with him at that point.

00:17:06.000 According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer had also previously seen Crooks on

00:17:10.000 the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture.

00:17:14.000 Twenty-six minutes after the second picture of Crooks was taken by law enforcement, the

00:17:18.000 second, mind you, and the information was called in, shots were fired from the roof

00:17:23.000 of the American Glass Research Building.

00:17:26.000 Seconds later, a Secret Service sniper returned fire and killed Crooks.

00:17:30.000 Now, there's a lot of questions as to how something like this happened.

00:17:34.000 And it's very hard, and I know the media is going to attack and insult me and everybody

00:17:39.000 else, it is hard to believe that this is a lone gunman who got lucky.

00:17:45.000 This defies all logic.

00:17:47.000 A clear line of sight within 130 yards of the frontrunner for the presidential election, and not once in a half an hour did a single law enforcement officer say, Suspicious man on the roof, get the president off the stage.

00:18:01.000 All they had to do was click their walkie-talkie and say, get Trump off stage, security threat.

00:18:07.000 Nobody?

00:18:07.000 Nobody.

00:18:08.000 Not one person.

00:18:10.000 Cory Mills brought up that when, as a former sniper, when they would do these assessments with Secret Service.

00:18:16.000 They track what are vantage points at 100 yards, 200 yards, 300 yards.

00:18:20.000 So I'm supposed to believe, and the American people are supposed to believe, that in this instance, a crazed lone gunman had a ladder placed up against a building where police were staging, climbed onto the roof, was seen by two law enforcement officers who took pictures of him, encountered another law enforcement officer who saw him on the roof and backed away, was identified by members of the crowd and by Secret Service, And no one did anything until he literally shot Donald Trump.

00:18:51.000 It's impossible to explain.

00:18:54.000 I can steel man a bit of it, and I'll steel man it knowing that I don't believe it.

00:18:58.000 Somebody on a roof, just trying to get a better viewpoint of the president.

00:19:02.000 You know, suspicious, but not terrible.

00:19:05.000 But you could see in the videos now, and we know all these facts, that one sniper had him in his scope for an extended period of time.

00:19:12.000 I don't know how you assemble an AR-15 once you get on a roof, but it's not something that takes a nanosecond.

00:19:19.000 It's Clear.

00:19:20.000 This was a Lee hop, a let it happen on purpose. 0.79

00:19:24.000 That at the end of it, you'd have your dead Patsy.

00:19:27.000 Oh, it was incompetence.

00:19:28.000 They were understaffed. 1.00

00:19:29.000 Horse crap. 0.99

00:19:30.000 You don't understaff and have the best vantage point of the president, not only unmanned, but unsupervised. 1.00

00:19:36.000 It was a let it happen on purpose, and at the end, some heads would roll, oh, incompetence, you'll go, whatever.

00:19:41.000 Meanwhile, they would have gotten exactly what they wanted.

00:19:43.000 It was a matter of days before the RNC.

00:19:46.000 Trump hadn't been officially appointed yet.

00:19:48.000 He hadn't nominated his VP yet.

00:19:50.000 This was the time and that kid, but for the grace of God.

00:19:54.000 Donald Trump was supposed to be in prison.

00:19:57.000 But the Supreme Court sided with Donald Trump on presidential immunity.

00:20:01.000 But, the important factor, while most legal analysts expected that there would be some degree of immunity for Donald Trump, what I don't think anyone expected was that they would additionally add in their ruling that you could not use presidential actions, official acts, as evidence of other wrongdoing.

00:20:21.000 Which, again, no one expected, would undermine the New York hush money case.

00:20:27.000 And then delay the sentencing of Donald Trump.

00:20:30.000 He would be in prison.

00:20:31.000 He would not have been able to go to the convention.

00:20:33.000 They would have held him back, and that failed.

00:20:35.000 Now, that being said, I don't know what that means.

00:20:38.000 And it certainly doesn't mean that all of these Secret Service agents are in on anything.

00:20:41.000 It doesn't mean that the local law enforcement are in on anything.

00:20:43.000 It doesn't mean anything other than, like you said, let it happen on purpose.

00:20:47.000 And all that it would require for that to be the case is a single logistics person Intentionally saying, don't worry guys, we've covered every vantage point and location, and ignoring one.

00:20:57.000 But again, I don't know.

00:20:59.000 I read a report that said that Secret Service policy is not to shoot until shots have been fired.

00:20:59.000 I don't know.

00:21:05.000 I've been told that's nonsense.

00:21:06.000 That seems totally insane.

00:21:07.000 Well, and also to your point, you know, if he had to assemble his weapon on that roof, surely someone would have noticed this, or did he have to get back down and get a weapon and then climb up again?

00:21:17.000 Like, whatever happened here is actually concerning because it seems like there was, we know there was too much time, but also it doesn't seem like it was subtle, right?

00:21:26.000 It's not like he was in all white and hiding on the roof for three days.

00:21:29.000 I mean, it really seems like people watch this person climb up and down the roof.

00:21:32.000 Speaking of logistics, I also think it'll be interesting to get in, though apparently we can't get into his phone.

00:21:37.000 You can only hack phones if you're, you know... No, they did.

00:21:40.000 It's been reported they got in, but they can't find anything.

00:21:43.000 Like, there's nothing in it.

00:21:43.000 Right.

00:21:44.000 I think it's an interesting logistical oversight, though, on the shooter's part to even assume that a roof that's, what, less than 150 yards away from where President Trump was speaking, to assume that it would even be unsecured, that seems like just an oversight if you'd really been planning this out.

00:21:58.000 And frankly, I think there's a lot of similarities to just the Whether it's oddities, I think that's sort of the age-old question of the Biden regime, right?

00:22:05.000 Is it intentional or is it a result of incompetence?

00:22:08.000 But with the way Secret Service conducted themselves when it came to the January 6 pipe bomb incident, right?

00:22:14.000 The footage that was released via Tom Massey showing them Despite some big pipe bomb being there that Secret Service is just, you know, sitting in the car, they're letting a gaggle of school children walk in front of it, the Capitol Police officers taking a picture of it and then going back into the car.

00:22:28.000 And I think it's just sort of a pattern of very interesting behavior that we should not be expecting from the Secret Service.

00:22:35.000 You made a really good point.

00:22:37.000 This guy, how did he know that building would be available to him?

00:22:41.000 There was a ladder seen in one photo.

00:22:44.000 How?

00:22:44.000 I mean, if he showed up to this rally and was walking around it acting suspicious, they reported him, nobody took any action.

00:22:51.000 In order for that security breach to have occurred, he was walking around with a weapon in a bag or on his person, and then got lucky and found this building?

00:23:00.000 Where did the ladder come from?

00:23:02.000 How is a building not secured with a direct line of sight?

00:23:06.000 Apparently it was the staging area for law enforcement.

00:23:08.000 Right.

00:23:08.000 So I think it's pretty obvious that I don't think you need to be a law enforcement professional to say that the law enforcement and Secret Service and security failed here on every level.

00:23:17.000 I think it's a very scary thing of what it says that one determined person can do and be able to accomplish allegedly on their own to a One of the most famous people on planet Earth.

00:23:27.000 Somebody who's supposed to have some of the best Secret Service protection on planet Earth.

00:23:30.000 I don't know what that says for people who don't have Secret Service protection.

00:23:33.000 I don't know what that says for you other US representatives because again, this was allegedly just one motivated person.

00:23:40.000 And if this is what one motivated person could do, I don't know what that says for the security and state of our country with the current political climate.

00:23:50.000 What you'll hear from the left is Trump is Hitler and if you were able to kill baby Hitler, Do you think there's a manifesto?

00:23:58.000 I- I- I- I cannot. 0.97

00:24:00.000 I...

00:24:01.000 There is no logical path to say a single person who was determined was able to scout out a location during Secret Service detail, and was able to find a ladder to climb on top of a building, encountering three law enforcement officers, who at no point called it in, and then two minutes from the crowd screaming he's on the roof and got a gun, not a single person got dropped off the stage.

00:24:24.000 I cannot follow that logic.

00:24:26.000 Yeah, but there's so much law enforcement logic that can't be followed.

00:24:29.000 Look what happened at Uvalde.

00:24:31.000 You know, we see this all the time.

00:24:32.000 Police officers go out there and they completely fail.

00:24:36.000 That may be.

00:24:38.000 Uvalde can be explained by cowardice.

00:24:40.000 Parkland can be explained by cowardice.

00:24:42.000 This can't. 1.00

00:24:45.000 You can argue that the 26 minutes beforehand, when they saw this guy the first time, they just were confused and stupid. 1.00

00:24:53.000 And it was stupidity. 1.00

00:24:54.000 But I don't see how you argue that two minutes and one second before Trump was literally shot, there's video of people screaming, he's got a gun, he's got a gun. 1.00

00:25:05.000 And not one, not one law enforcement said, pull Trump.

00:25:08.000 Get him off the stage.

00:25:10.000 We saw a man rush the stage.

00:25:12.000 Just jump a barricade and they grabbed Trump and pulled him off stage.

00:25:16.000 This was a man for two whole minutes people were screaming he's got a gun and nothing happened.

00:25:20.000 It's inconceivable to channel the guy from Princess Bride.

00:25:25.000 It's inconceivable.

00:25:26.000 And also the fact that he got off so many shots.

00:25:33.000 Issue was 20 seconds, they see this guy on the roof, and the guy, you see the sniper with his gun on him.

00:25:37.000 It's inconceivable, all of it.

00:25:39.000 This kid's just walking around with a gun and then says, oh, that roof is available.

00:25:43.000 I'm gonna take this opportunity now to- Where'd the letter come from?

00:25:46.000 No, well, apparently the ladder might have been affixed to the building.

00:25:48.000 I don't know.

00:25:48.000 Maybe it was left over from the stage.

00:25:49.000 Perhaps.

00:25:50.000 I mean, it's a steel maintenance.

00:25:50.000 Perhaps.

00:25:52.000 The dude's on a building, on a roof, in a prone position.

00:25:52.000 Fine.

00:25:55.000 They know it for an extended period of time.

00:25:57.000 He takes out a gun, gets several shots off before they finally take him out.

00:26:01.000 It's inconceivable.

00:26:01.000 It's called fractal wrongness.

00:26:03.000 Nobody can be that wrong, and there can't be that many mistakes on accident in a sequence.

00:26:07.000 I think the police and Secret Service can seriously be that incompetent.

00:26:11.000 They didn't have a drone in the area, they had no aerial overview, and it's upsetting.

00:26:16.000 And I think it's frightening again what, as of now, we're told only one motivated person can do.

00:26:22.000 The damage one motivated person can do to our political system.

00:26:26.000 Because we would be on the precipice of a civil war if Trump was a centimeter tilted otherwise.

00:26:31.000 Have you seen the reports that, and I can't confirm this, I don't know, but I just saw one report saying that Secret Service might have been divided between the Trump event and the Jill Biden?

00:26:40.000 Secret Service debunked that.

00:26:42.000 Okay, that's good.

00:26:42.000 Because it is interesting to think that, like, they've been doing this for how long?

00:26:46.000 I mean, they were originally founded to fight counterfeiting in the U.S., but then they've had this job forever, and they still don't seem to know we have to station everybody on rooftops.

00:26:56.000 I mean, it is bizarre to me that there would be an open rooftop, that there wasn't, you 130 yards away.

00:27:01.000 I don't understand.

00:27:03.000 This is for people with Secret Service.

00:27:06.000 What does that say?

00:27:07.000 Most politicians don't have secrets.

00:27:08.000 I don't think any senators or maybe majority leaders, but like Secret Service is very rare.

00:27:13.000 Former presidents, former first ladies and current candidates and like presumptive nominees.

00:27:20.000 RFK Jr.

00:27:21.000 doesn't even have secret.

00:27:22.000 Well, did you see Trump?

00:27:23.000 He got it now.

00:27:24.000 Well, yeah, Trump today was like, you really need to give RFK Jr.

00:27:27.000 secret service.

00:27:28.000 And then Mayorkas came out and was like, all right, we'll do it.

00:27:30.000 He was like, because Biden has asked me to, I will do it, which I find fascinating, right?

00:27:36.000 Biden is now taking orders from Trump.

00:27:39.000 It's to show unity.

00:27:40.000 Now Biden's making concessions. 0.98

00:27:41.000 He's going to protect the people that he wants dead.

00:27:44.000 And, you know, now's the time. 0.72

00:27:45.000 Let's show this photo real quick.

00:27:46.000 Unbelievable.

00:27:47.000 I know at this point, many people have seen all of these photos.

00:27:51.000 I think this one's going to get a Pulitzer.

00:27:55.000 We have this picture from Donald Trump, and you can see the bullet.

00:27:59.000 That's the bullet that hit him.

00:28:02.000 I would say with 90% certainty, because it's the first shot that rings out where Trump grabs the side of his head, and then drops down.

00:28:09.000 So this shot going out is before he even reached for his ear, which is likely the shot that pierced through his ear.

00:28:16.000 So I just wanted to show that there's a lot of people on X Liberals and Democrats trying to argue that Trump wasn't shot.

00:28:22.000 He was hit by glass, a piece of glass.

00:28:24.000 They claim the teleprompter was struck and the glass hit Trump.

00:28:27.000 Would that be any better?

00:28:28.000 The teleprompters were intact completely.

00:28:31.000 There's numerous photos and video.

00:28:33.000 The teleprompters are totally fine.

00:28:34.000 They're lying to diminish this because they don't want Trump to appear strong.

00:28:39.000 Even Cenk Uygur said Trump looked like a badass.

00:28:42.000 He did look like a badass.

00:28:43.000 But let's ask this question.

00:28:44.000 We'll jump to this story.

00:28:46.000 We have this from EndWokeness.

00:28:49.000 Lester Holt says, you called your opponent an existential threat and said to put Trump in a bullseye.

00:28:54.000 Biden says, I didn't say crosshairs.

00:28:56.000 Before I play the clip, I'll show you this.

00:28:58.000 Dan Goldman saying on MSNBC, Trump has to be eliminated.

00:29:03.000 When he said this, we all collectively were like, stop.

00:29:06.000 You can't say that.

00:29:06.000 We were very critical of it.

00:29:08.000 Then you have this.

00:29:09.000 Steve Guest tweeting.

00:29:10.000 Joe Biden on July 8th, 2024.

00:29:13.000 He said, I have one job and that's to beat Donald Trump.

00:29:15.000 I'm absolutely certain I'm the best person to be able to do that.

00:29:18.000 So we're done talking about the debate.

00:29:20.000 It's time to put Trump in a bullseye, Biden said.

00:29:23.000 He said that to donors.

00:29:24.000 Which resulted in this.

00:29:25.000 You called your opponent an existential threat on a call a week ago.

00:29:29.000 You said it's time to put Trump in the bullseye.

00:29:32.000 There's some dispute about the context, but I think you appreciate I didn't say crosshairs.

00:29:37.000 I was talking about focus on.

00:29:39.000 Look, the truth of the matter was, what I guess I was talking about at the time was, there's very little focus on Trump's agenda.

00:29:47.000 Yeah, the term is bullseye.

00:29:50.000 It was a mistake to use the word.

00:29:51.000 I didn't say crosshairs.

00:29:53.000 I meant focus on him.

00:29:55.000 It was a mistake, he says.

00:29:56.000 I swear he was about to say, I didn't write that post, because I don't actually think he manages his own social media.

00:30:02.000 So we've seen rhetoric from Democrats, and even right now, actually I think I may have one of these tweets still.

00:30:08.000 If I may just highlight, that is so patently absurd of an explanation.

00:30:13.000 A bullseye is shooting something in the center of the target.

00:30:17.000 And his explanation was that they weren't putting enough attention on the Trump campaign.

00:30:21.000 They've been trying to put this guy in jail for three years now.

00:30:23.000 The agenda 2025 has been on the radar for the last three.

00:30:27.000 It's such a lie.

00:30:29.000 But they use that rhetoric.

00:30:30.000 Dan Goldman has blood on his hands for what he said earlier.

00:30:33.000 I mean, we were all railing on him when he said that.

00:30:36.000 They know damn well what they're doing. 0.96

00:30:37.000 They are putting out the political permission slip, the dog whistle for their lunatic lefties, to carry out the wishes of their masters, and one person did it. 0.52

00:30:44.000 And they did it in 2020, they did it in 2016, or not 2016, but do you remember when Maxine Waters told people to go confront Trump officials and Trump admin people wherever they were and tell them they're not welcome?

00:30:56.000 And then that happened.

00:30:56.000 Sarah Huckabee Sanders got pushed out of a Waffle House.

00:31:00.000 I'm gonna try to be a little bit principled here.

00:31:01.000 I don't think that Dan Goldman has blood on his hands.

00:31:05.000 I don't think this rhetoric is even that inflammatory.

00:31:08.000 I mean, I think we hear much more inflammatory things pretty regularly, and I don't think this is what led that guy to do what he did.

00:31:15.000 And if it were, I mean, I still think his actions speak for themselves.

00:31:19.000 Not rhetoric like this, because if we held that standard across the board, I'm sure we could pretty quickly find stuff that, you know, we could attach a lot of I have complained about people who come on the show and make allusions to violence.

00:31:29.000 I say do not do it.

00:31:29.000 This show particularly, Primetime, one of the top shows on YouTube in its slot, and we say all the time not to broach

00:31:38.000 that.

00:31:38.000 I have complained about people who come on the show and make allusions to violence. I say, do not do it.

00:31:43.000 You cut them off.

00:31:44.000 We've, I mean...

00:31:45.000 You pulled the string.

00:31:46.000 I admire you going above and beyond.

00:31:48.000 Look, that one's obvious, okay?

00:31:50.000 We don't want to get banned.

00:31:51.000 But I also do get very upset when people think it's okay and to make direct allusions to violence.

00:31:58.000 Now, I get it if you say fight, fight, fight.

00:32:00.000 We know what that means.

00:32:00.000 Oh, come on.

00:32:01.000 If AOC says we're gonna get out there and fight, we know what it means.

00:32:03.000 And I'm not even that concerned necessarily about Maxine Waters saying get out there and confront people.

00:32:07.000 It's like, you're getting a little close on the line.

00:32:10.000 Joe Biden saying, put him in a bullseye, okay, is the line, okay?

00:32:14.000 I can understand where it's like, there may be some rhetoric there, turn a phrase, but you cannot have Joe Biden, you cannot have George Takei, who just came out, and all these Democrats saying things like he needs to be eliminated, he's an existential threat, he's a threat to democracy, he's Hitler, etc., etc., and not expect people who engaged in the worst riots in 50 years to do something like this.

00:32:34.000 Now, this man, who took the shot at Donald Trump, is 20 years old.

00:32:39.000 Since he was 12, he has been inundated with a constant barrage of these media personalities and Democrats saying Donald Trump is Hitler.

00:32:47.000 What is a young person developing in their mind?

00:32:50.000 What are they going to see?

00:32:52.000 The rhetoric is clear.

00:32:55.000 The creation in this person's mind is clear.

00:32:57.000 This is why we can't have that kind of language.

00:32:57.000 What happens?

00:33:00.000 I think it's a dangerous stand.

00:33:01.000 First, I wanted to come out and say I admire and commend you for trying to help tone down the rhetoric with many of your guests that come on and have a line in the sand.

00:33:09.000 I do think some of Joe Biden's and some of the Democrats, and I'm sure it's not limited to them, I'm sure there's many Republicans who use aggressive rhetoric, definitely contribute to a Political climate that is hotter and more likely to have something boil over.

00:33:21.000 But I think it strips the person of his agency if we're just saying, you know, this is what caused him to do it.

00:33:26.000 I don't think this is a direct call for violence, brings up the temperature, but I think it's a dangerous standard to hold them to.

00:33:32.000 I think at this point we should reference J.D.

00:33:34.000 Vance, right?

00:33:35.000 He was the one who said afterwards, this wasn't an isolated incident, the Biden-Harris campaign has been pushing this idea that there will be political violence for a long time.

00:33:43.000 I don't know that there's one tweet that sent someone off, again, unless we get some sort of manifesto or diary entry that says this is exactly it with a citation, but it is a culture that has definitely been pushed that there is tension coming and everyone needs to be And I would respectfully push back too, because I think when you hear those heated clips coming from right-wing media, I'm sure Steve Bannon probably has a lot of those moments that they are always taking out of context, we are always very precise and particular with how you channel that energy.

00:34:09.000 And you always hear right-wing commentators telling people to get involved on the grassroots level and to make that change happen within the political system.

00:34:16.000 In contrast, when you have people like this go on there and say things like, put him in a bullseye, put him in the

00:34:22.000 crosshairs, not even sure that that's that much better.

00:34:24.000 Or just year after year, media cycle after media cycle, just getting this pent up anger,

00:34:30.000 making people angry.

00:34:32.000 There's no outlet for it other than political violence.

00:34:35.000 On May 29th, 2020, thousands of far left extremists firebombed the White House grounds.

00:34:41.000 They set fire to St.

00:34:43.000 John's Church.

00:34:44.000 Donald Trump was forced into a bunker, an emergency bunker, and the collective media and democratic apparatus insulted him over it.

00:34:52.000 They mocked him.

00:34:53.000 They called him Bunker Boy and Bunker Baby.

00:34:55.000 A hundred plus law enforcement officers were injured in those riots.

00:34:59.000 Photos coming out from DC, an aerial view of smoke rising around the Capitol, like the White House and the Capitol, are shocking.

00:35:07.000 This was four years ago.

00:35:09.000 And now, here we are, with the rhetoric has not stopped, and even after this, George Takei tweeted, Donald Trump is an existential threat, but we'll defeat him with ballots, not bullets.

00:35:21.000 I'm sorry, but that rhetoric does not make sense.

00:35:24.000 There's two messages there.

00:35:26.000 An existential threat means we will cease to exist if he succeeds.

00:35:31.000 And what that message sends, whether it's intentional or not, and I don't care what his intention is, what I'm concerned about is, someone just tried and nearly killed Donald Trump, which would rip this country asunder.

00:35:43.000 And now this man is saying, if we don't win, we won't exist anymore.

00:35:48.000 What is the response to that statement?

00:35:49.000 Well, George Takei should be deplatformed.

00:35:51.000 I'm not an anti-free speech person whatsoever.

00:35:54.000 He knows damn well what he's doing.

00:35:55.000 I just want to say also, Tim, it wouldn't have just plunged America into turmoil had that bullet been one millimeter.

00:36:02.000 World War I started with a random Ferdinand being assassinated.

00:36:06.000 This would have driven the world into World War III.

00:36:09.000 China would have said, well, the U.S.

00:36:10.000 is in turmoil now.

00:36:12.000 They think we're in turmoil anyway.

00:36:14.000 Not as bad as that, but I'm saying we're already edging.

00:36:18.000 No, for sure.

00:36:19.000 But this bullet would have been the modern-day Franz Ferdinand bullet.

00:36:22.000 I don't want to pick on you any more than everyone else has, but I'll say another one thing.

00:36:26.000 When Trump said bloodbath, referring to an economic situation, the media went ape poop on him.

00:36:32.000 Biden talked about it in this Lester Holt interview.

00:36:32.000 They still are.

00:36:35.000 You don't think Trump said anything crazier than, we'll put him in the crosshairs?

00:36:40.000 We'll put him in the bullseye.

00:36:42.000 I'm sure he said something that is a better allusion towards violence than this.

00:36:45.000 I'll guarantee you he didn't, because if he did, if they did, they would have used it against his impeachment.

00:36:50.000 Stand back, stand by.

00:36:51.000 Fight like hell.

00:36:52.000 I mean, those are the things that they try to impeach him for saying, for having said, because that incited violence.

00:36:56.000 So it's not only that the right doesn't do it.

00:36:58.000 When the right even comes close and skirts the line, they get raked over the coals by the media.

00:37:03.000 These people, they know exactly what they're doing.

00:37:05.000 Goldman knows exactly what he's doing, and they do have blood on their hands.

00:37:08.000 Well, and I think to, you know, to give some leeway to Elad's argument here, I just don't think Joe Biden wrote this, right?

00:37:12.000 That's a loose standard for blood on his hands, I feel like, respectfully. 0.94

00:37:15.000 No, no, but I happen to believe these are dog whistles, they know damn well what they're doing, and when we say, we gotta beat them at the ballot box, not with bullets, They know exactly what they're saying, and they're giving a political permission slip for any lunatic who goes and does it.

00:37:28.000 Is that to say you think this rhetoric should be illegal?

00:37:30.000 No.

00:37:30.000 It shouldn't be illegal, but it should certainly be... No, because these are not true threats, and I don't think it should be illegal.

00:37:36.000 There should be political sanctions.

00:37:38.000 I think some of these things could be impeachable.

00:37:40.000 At the very least, there should be a uniform standard. 0.99

00:37:43.000 fight like hell, gets impeached, horse crap. 0.98

00:37:45.000 I think just call their bluffs that we don't want unity with you because I guarantee you if in that same interview 0.99

00:37:50.000 you were to ask Dan Goldman, oh, so you want unity with Trump? You're good with unity?

00:37:54.000 They would say, hell no, we don't want unity. The sky's the next.

00:37:57.000 We want you dead, but we just can't say it. 0.85

00:37:58.000 But they just can't say it. And that's why I think we need to forcibly reject this whole unity narrative. Not that I'm 0.76

00:38:03.000 not calling for the violence or anything like that.

00:38:05.000 But this is it's a scam. It's a lie.

00:38:08.000 Unity has always been a euphemism for, frankly, I think, crawling back the victories that grassroots MAGA have made.

00:38:16.000 But whatever this is, whatever you think it is, or however it went down, this man failed.

00:38:22.000 Unfortunately, he took the life of Corey Compratore and severely injured several others who people are chatting about.

00:38:29.000 So, he did still cause harm.

00:38:31.000 And a lot of people say he missed.

00:38:33.000 And they're mocking the idea.

00:38:36.000 And I just want to stress this.

00:38:38.000 They're not just talking about Trump.

00:38:40.000 Even Trump said, they're not after me, they're after you, I'm just in the way.

00:38:44.000 In this instance, when the bullet did miss Trump, it still hit several good people who were just at an event to hear what he had to say.

00:38:53.000 And so, in the broader sense, the man didn't miss, he hit several people who he hated.

00:38:58.000 Now, that being said, The failure to stop Donald Trump.

00:39:02.000 Frank Luntz, he's a famous pollster, said he was asked by numerous media outlets what this means and he said, every Trump supporter is now a Trump voter.

00:39:12.000 Done.

00:39:13.000 And that's the equivalent of a one to two point poll swing.

00:39:16.000 Instantly.

00:39:17.000 Likely, these swing states are now going to go for Donald Trump, no question.

00:39:22.000 And Trump is likely to win.

00:39:23.000 We will see.

00:39:25.000 And what that means is, we have to have equality under the law.

00:39:29.000 We have to have Donald Trump prove to the American people there is a law that exists, and you must adhere to it.

00:39:34.000 Because what makes me angry, what drives me and makes me want Trump to win, is the abuse of the system by Democrats.

00:39:43.000 With the most egregious so far being that Steve Bannon has gone to prison and Merrick Garland has skirted the law and the Democrats are laughing about it. 0.93

00:39:52.000 They called Ana Paulina stupid for trying to uphold the law because Merrick Garland broke the law. 1.00

00:39:59.000 And I am furious that We cannot get that justice, and I hope that what we see with Donald Trump, and I'm not even convinced we'll get it, is that he simply appoints a good DOJ, and they say, we are going to reaffirm our commitment to justice, to the legal process and the law, and hold those accountable who have skirted the law and broken the rules.

00:40:20.000 Just to say something on the unity.

00:40:22.000 Yeah, the idea, you literally just tried to kill me.

00:40:26.000 Unify.

00:40:27.000 Go straight, I won't swear on your show, go bless yourself.

00:40:31.000 But the issue is, I think there will be a lasting unity out of this in what we're seeing with RFK Jr.

00:40:36.000 and Trump.

00:40:37.000 And kindred spirits, now that they're connected by the most heinous acts ever, but a unity among rational, reasonable Americans.

00:40:45.000 That are going to be the ones who are going to make the difference.

00:40:47.000 You don't unify with the devil.

00:40:48.000 You don't unify with your enemy.

00:40:50.000 Biden and his ilk are the enemy in a political sense.

00:40:53.000 But there will be unity among the people that is going to have the impact of defeating those people.

00:40:57.000 I think what we're seeing already, the gas has been removed from the uniparty machine.

00:41:03.000 Because regular people are scared of violence.

00:41:06.000 They do not want this and they are correct in not wanting this.

00:41:09.000 The far left and many of the more, I don't know, wacky Democrats who have been advocating for violence or saying things like they're sad that the guy missed.

00:41:18.000 Kyle Gass of THSD on stage saying he wished the guy wouldn't miss or something to that effect.

00:41:23.000 Regular people don't like this.

00:41:25.000 And they're scared.

00:41:26.000 But the mainstream media knows it, and that's why they pulled Morning Joe, right?

00:41:29.000 CNN was breaking that they, what is it, for at least for the next week, that Morning Joe, we call it Morning Mika on The War Room, is off air, and it really is funny.

00:41:37.000 I watched some of MSNBC's coverage this morning.

00:41:40.000 The title of it is, like, the most drab thing you could get.

00:41:42.000 It's, like, emergency coverage of assassination attempt, and they have two of the most, like, low-energy-looking journalists that I've ever seen hosting the show, and they keep bringing on historians as guests. They're like obviously not trying to

00:41:55.000 touch it with a ten-foot pole, right? They're trying to keep it very

00:41:58.000 apolitical in their coverage because they know that they even know that they

00:42:02.000 can't put any other guests on without creating some viral you know soundbiter clip of them probably calling for

00:42:08.000 similar acts like this.

00:42:09.000 I want to jump to the story from the Daily Mail.

00:42:11.000 Under fire ABC News host George Stephanopoulos suggests Trump is to blame for violent rhetoric

00:42:18.000 after assassination attempt.

00:42:21.000 During Sunday's episode of ABC's This Week, Stephanopoulos and Chief Global Affairs Anchor Martha Raddatz discussed the current political environment.

00:42:28.000 Raditz discussed conspiracy theories that President Biden caused the horrific attack and noted a tweet from J.D.

00:42:33.000 Vance that Biden's rhetoric led to the attack.

00:42:35.000 Quote, Of course, President Trump and his supporters have contributed to this violent rhetoric as well, Stephanopoulos said, blaming Donald Trump.

00:42:43.000 I reject this and I don't accept it.

00:42:45.000 Republicans, many on the right, they don't protest.

00:42:48.000 It is rare to see Republicans get up and do anything.

00:42:51.000 Now, of course, there certainly is some rhetoric, but as I always explain to people, it's an inversion.

00:42:57.000 You have prominent Democrat and liberal personalities openly calling for violence.

00:43:03.000 Let's go back in time. 0.99

00:43:04.000 Punch a Nazi. 0.99

00:43:05.000 Everyone remembers that.

00:43:07.000 How about the Covington kids?

00:43:08.000 That one guy, I can't remember which guy, I think it was a Disney employee, I'm not sure, could be wrong, posted a picture of a wood chipper Reza Aslan said that he insinuated he wanted to punch the kid in the face, the kid had a punchable face.

00:43:23.000 And then, some people on the right, some, sometimes, say negative things, but it's inversion.

00:43:29.000 Most prominent right personalities say, no violence, stop, we don't want this, we can't have this.

00:43:35.000 I think it's even beyond talking about online.

00:43:37.000 I mean, who attacked the congressional baseball game?

00:43:40.000 Right?

00:43:40.000 Like, didn't Ron Paul get attacked by a Democrat?

00:43:44.000 Right?

00:43:44.000 So like, this is something that we haven't, it hasn't happened in a vacuum.

00:43:48.000 It's not like this is the only time that the scales have tipped.

00:43:50.000 I mean, we always reference the summer of 2020.

00:43:52.000 But really, this boiling energy that's been there has actually spilled over the pot a couple times.

00:43:58.000 And it's not typically the narrative that the media wants to talk about.

00:44:01.000 I think that we, Take for granted that America is a safe country and things like this happen other places.

00:44:06.000 Like when you saw Mexico's election, there were all these reports of assassinations and it was like, oh, that's a crazy place.

00:44:13.000 But what we have is fragile and we have to protect it.

00:44:16.000 And I just don't think that's the messaging we've gotten from the Biden campaign.

00:44:20.000 Right.

00:44:20.000 They've talked about political violence.

00:44:22.000 They keep showing clips of things they think went wrong in the past.

00:44:25.000 They use fear to try and inspire their voters.

00:44:28.000 It's not a peaceful party, and I think you see that demonstrated more than we really acknowledge because, again, we sort of are numb to it.

00:44:35.000 I think it's important to see, while some Democrats are trying to moderate some of their language, I think it's important to remember that I actually do believe that, I don't know if it's just Democrats, but many in the far left, many at the base of the party, actually do hate Donald Trump to the core of his soul, and do believe that he is a genocidal, fascist, Hitler-esque figure that does need to be taken out, and unfortunately it's not an uncommon thought to think like, That these people are unhappy that the shots missed Donald Trump.

00:45:03.000 I was actually interviewing some people today on the March on the RNC who specifically said it's a shame that the person missed.

00:45:10.000 I don't think that's uncommon and it's important to recognize the vitriol and deep-seated hate these people have for many on the right.

00:45:18.000 What does everybody on the right said about Joe Biden?

00:45:20.000 He should retire.

00:45:21.000 Yeah, that's amazing.

00:45:22.000 He should go be with his family.

00:45:24.000 I've seen it from all of these prominent personalities.

00:45:27.000 Dan Bongino.

00:45:28.000 Joe Biden should be sitting at home and with his family having oatmeal.

00:45:31.000 Surrounded by his grandkids.

00:45:31.000 Yep, yep.

00:45:32.000 That seems great.

00:45:32.000 What an amazing, what an amazing.

00:45:34.000 But also, aren't the ones on the left, aren't the ones, the leftists are always the ones saying that the right is engaging in stochastic terror, right?

00:45:42.000 Stochastic terrorism. 0.56

00:45:43.000 Isn't that basically what they're doing?

00:45:45.000 It's the iron law of woke projection.

00:45:48.000 It's James Lindsay's term.

00:45:50.000 So they just keep doing the same thing that they accuse everyone on the right of doing.

00:45:56.000 I reject the concept of stochastic terrorism.

00:45:59.000 I think it's a different thing.

00:46:01.000 I agree with you.

00:46:01.000 But here they are doing the exact same thing, you know, as they're accusing people on the right of always doing.

00:46:07.000 And they're doing this and they're saying, but we should get a pass because it's just political language.

00:46:11.000 And the White House even said that they weren't going to stop.

00:46:13.000 Stochastic terrorism is a real thing. 0.97

00:46:14.000 It's just, to what degree is it ubiquitous?

00:46:17.000 The left says it's everywhere, it's everywhere, all the time, non-stop.

00:46:20.000 But the general concept of what it really means is, oh, won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest?

00:46:26.000 Yes.

00:46:26.000 I also... No, that's it.

00:46:28.000 I think that that's sort of an interesting thread to pull.

00:46:30.000 If you look at how, for the last, what is it, since 2016, like almost 10 years, they really have gone to lengths to define domestic extremism as basically MAGA supporters and January 6th type rioters and again, who knows, incompetence, intentional.

00:46:46.000 Something funky happened at that rally, but when you look at the, I mean, billions, probably when you add it up, it's probably trillions of dollars that have been poured into these, you

00:46:56.000 know, anti-domestic extremism efforts and the way that that word has been reformulated to really

00:47:01.000 just be synonymous and analogous with Trump supporters. No wonder why this guy would slip through

00:47:06.000 the cracks, right? Because he doesn't really fit their definition of what it means to be a

00:47:11.000 domestic extremist in the sense that he wasn't someone who was, you know, walking around a Joe Biden rally

00:47:18.000 holding up Trump signs. And I'm not saying that they missed him, but I think that that's an, if

00:47:22.000 you look at a cultural systemic shift that has been happening inside these, you know,

00:47:26.000 Secret Service operates under the auspices of DHS, the very same DHS that behind closed doors is

00:47:32.000 weaponizing against MAGA, is holding secret meetings with, you know, social media companies to

00:47:37.000 censor us.

00:47:38.000 They don't think people who are shooting at Trump are, that doesn't really fit their domestic terrorism narrative, right?

00:47:44.000 They're not posting on Twitter, this guy wasn't, so I guess he wasn't on the list.

00:47:47.000 Domestic terrorists can't donate to ActBlue, they just would never.

00:47:49.000 He wouldn't set off any of their radars because they have made domestic terrorism, domestic extremism, something that is wholly different from what it should be. 0.96

00:47:58.000 I've had this, it's a recent theory that I have is that, you know, we grew up with the term liberalism is a mental disorder.

00:48:04.000 I've always heard it as a kid, never fully understood it until now. 0.50

00:48:07.000 But I look at the Democrat Party and they have no qualms and a total propensity to exploiting the mentally vulnerable, the mentally ill for political profit, like they did with Greta Thunberg, like they did with Fetterman.

00:48:21.000 Just anybody, it doesn't even matter if he's mentally unwell, just get him in there.

00:48:24.000 You left Joe Biden off the list.

00:48:27.000 Just prop up a weekend at Bernie's.

00:48:28.000 They will exploit the fragile, the infirmed for political profit and they use the mentally ill and the mentally unwell as their strong arm, as their thugs on the street to promote and push and instill terror for those who don't follow their politics. 0.94

00:48:42.000 And so the left's propensity and the Democrats with a capital D to use people who are clearly mentally unwell I saw the counter-protest. 0.97

00:48:50.000 Anybody saying, I wished he wasn't off target, has a mental problem. 0.80

00:48:55.000 And I mean, probably a diagnosable one.

00:48:57.000 And they use them as tools for political profit, and we're seeing it now.

00:49:00.000 They accuse others of what they are doing themselves.

00:49:06.000 It's Nazi propaganda going back to Goebbels.

00:49:09.000 You made a point a while ago, Viva, that if Donald Trump were to have been hit, it's world war.

00:49:14.000 They don't know the hell they are ushering in, because it would be the most... Not demoralizing.

00:49:21.000 The JFK assassination was graphic, and this was broad daylight, live-streamed, real-time, HD.

00:49:28.000 There would have been... I mean, I won't use the word.

00:49:32.000 It would have been a not-America the day after.

00:49:35.000 But for the grace of God, it looks like people are going to actually be unified as opposed to all hell breaking loose.

00:49:40.000 The political instability likely would have resulted in... Thousand percent.

00:49:46.000 The moves we'd end up seeing from Russia, from China, would be drastic.

00:49:52.000 And it would lead to a chain of events that I think would create massive international instability.

00:49:56.000 And I highlight this point you made because these people who are online, they're young people.

00:50:01.000 One video was a guy screaming at the top of his lungs saying, how could you miss?

00:50:04.000 How could you miss?

00:50:06.000 They don't know or care. 0.99

00:50:08.000 Now, we can say that's a mental disorder. 0.95

00:50:11.000 But I also think the problem is, it is a failed generation. 0.98

00:50:14.000 It is not that these people's brains are not functioning, like, you know, 1 plus 2 equals 3 exists in there.

00:50:20.000 It's that the neural pathways were not constructed in their brains so they can understand the structure of the planet and what happens to them after the fact.

00:50:29.000 They don't know or care.

00:50:31.000 They are detached.

00:50:32.000 This is behavioral sync to an extreme degree, if those of you who are familiar with the rat utopia experiment.

00:50:40.000 They want for things that result in their own death, which leads to the destruction of a species.

00:50:46.000 Because I still buy the current story out that it was just a lone wolf shooter.

00:50:51.000 It is really unsettling, and how much more political violence I unfortunately foresee this leading to.

00:50:58.000 Shinzo Abe, the former Prime Minister of Japan, was assassinated not too long ago, and again, there's a short list of people on the Secret Service.

00:51:06.000 Most reps and senators and governors are accessible compared to the way Trump was, so...

00:51:13.000 One motivated person could do so much damage to our fragile democracy.

00:51:17.000 I sound like a Democrat saying that.

00:51:18.000 That's true.

00:51:19.000 And as an aside, just if you want to talk later, I can get you a real good price on the Brooklyn Bridge.

00:51:25.000 No, it's one dedicated person would spend weeks scoping it out, finding the weakness.

00:51:31.000 What did he do?

00:51:31.000 Show up and say, hey, that roof is unattended.

00:51:33.000 I'm going to go back to my car and get my gun.

00:51:35.000 I mean, that kid wasn't dedicated. 0.85

00:51:37.000 That was lazy.

00:51:38.000 What if the roof wasn't available?

00:51:40.000 Was he just gonna take his best shot?

00:51:41.000 Was he gonna just chill with his rifle?

00:51:42.000 It is a... I don't know.

00:51:44.000 I don't know.

00:51:44.000 And by the way, if we start from a dedicated crazy person found away, I'd be with you.

00:51:50.000 But if we start from 26 minutes before he was reported, the police took a picture of him.

00:51:54.000 A second officer saw him, took a picture of him on the roof.

00:51:57.000 Another officer encountered him on the roof, and then the man pointed a gun at him, so he backed away.

00:52:02.000 Two minutes before the shooting, Trump supporters are screaming, Screaming in the audience, he's got a gun, he's got a gun!

00:52:07.000 And not one, not one law enforcement called it in or did anything.

00:52:10.000 Like, bro.

00:52:12.000 If you told me Trump needed to just turn his head a little bit and his life would have been saved, I wouldn't believe you either.

00:52:17.000 So if I'm buying that, I don't know.

00:52:20.000 I don't know what's going on.

00:52:21.000 I think that's how a lot of people feel.

00:52:24.000 Fair point.

00:52:24.000 I accept that.

00:52:26.000 He was shot through the ear, and he has a wound through his ear.

00:52:29.000 You can't shoot like that if you try to.

00:52:33.000 That's where the divine intervention in this comes in.

00:52:35.000 And I'm not a religious person, but I had just watched Pulp Fiction, and I'm like, if that's not an act of God, I don't know what is.

00:52:41.000 I saw your post about Pulp Fiction.

00:52:42.000 It was great.

00:52:43.000 I was watching it last week, and then it happens?

00:52:46.000 Oh yeah, what we witnessed today was an absolute miracle that prevented the world from descending into World War III.

00:52:53.000 Did you guys see this new thing?

00:52:54.000 So Elon Musk is promised to donate $45 million per month to like a Trump-backing super PAC.

00:53:03.000 Because he had don- He endorsed- $45 million a month.

00:53:05.000 Is he tweeting this now or what?

00:53:06.000 Yeah, it's just breaking- No, it's just in the Wall Street Journal right now.

00:53:08.000 Wow.

00:53:08.000 Yeah, I sent you a link, Tim.

00:53:09.000 Had they not pissed off Elon Musk, he might not have gotten so involved in this.

00:53:13.000 He endorsed Trump, what, within 20 minutes of everything happening?

00:53:17.000 I mean, as the world turned out, he was like, I'm with Trump.

00:53:19.000 And that's an incredibly powerful statement from this guy who had sort of tried to stay a little bit neutral.

00:53:24.000 Yeah, but then he realized it was existential.

00:53:26.000 We got this story from the Wall Street Journal breaking.

00:53:28.000 Elon Musk has said he is committing around $45 million a month to a new pro-Trump super PAC.

00:53:35.000 Other backers of AmericaPAC include Palantir Technologies co-founder Joe Lonsdale and the Winklevoss twins.

00:53:42.000 Wow.

00:53:43.000 And they had supported, I mean, they came out a couple weeks ago on Trump's side.

00:53:47.000 I mean, it is fascinating to see that this is becoming an issue that's bigger than just, oh, elites in the cities vote this way and rural people vote this way.

00:53:54.000 Well, it's interesting.

00:53:55.000 Elon Musk's evolution on this has been organic and you could see the trajectory.

00:53:59.000 In the early stages when he bought Twitter, everyone's like, eh, cynical.

00:54:02.000 Is he going to be free speech or not?

00:54:04.000 And whether or not he's second best to Rumble, as far as I'm concerned, that's a close second best and it's a good place to be.

00:54:09.000 But they went after Elon Musk.

00:54:10.000 And he saw what they did to him in Delaware.

00:54:12.000 He saw what the governments were trying to do to him in Brazil.

00:54:14.000 And now he says, F it.

00:54:16.000 This is not just a war against Trump.

00:54:17.000 This is not just a war against me.

00:54:18.000 This is a war against the Western values as we know them.

00:54:22.000 And holy, 45 million bucks a month, that'll buy you a lot of ad space, a lot of grassroots ground support.

00:54:28.000 I mean, I can't do the math fast enough, but we've got, what, four months to go?

00:54:31.000 I mean, it's an insane amount of money.

00:54:35.000 $225 million?

00:54:37.000 So he's going to donate a quarter of a billion dollars in support of Trump.

00:54:40.000 That's an insane number.

00:54:42.000 I can't even believe we've reached that level.

00:54:43.000 But I do think you're right.

00:54:44.000 I think with Elon Musk, what I find so interesting is that he is an inspirational character to so many.

00:54:50.000 I mean, he's really done a lot with his life.

00:54:53.000 But also, he's sort of a mystery.

00:54:54.000 People don't always know where his loyalties are.

00:54:56.000 People don't always know exactly what his values are.

00:54:59.000 Has a ton of children.

00:55:00.000 Seems to have them with lots of people.

00:55:03.000 It isn't orthodox conservatism, so to speak.

00:55:07.000 And it does seem like it is his values and worldview starting to align with the things that people are saying If we can only take certain things forward into the future with us, these are what they want them to be.

00:55:20.000 We want them to be free speech, we want them to be securities, and we want them to be a certain level of honesty from all of these pillars of society.

00:55:26.000 Nine kids with multiple women.

00:55:28.000 It might not be conservative values, but gosh darn it, that's freedom, okay?

00:55:31.000 The freedom to go around and spread your seed.

00:55:34.000 Isn't that like a big part of his point?

00:55:37.000 I don't know, I was just making a joke.

00:55:39.000 He was early days, like the birth rate is collapsing and we need to do something.

00:55:43.000 Stop talking about low population.

00:55:45.000 He's putting himself where his mouth is.

00:55:48.000 He's putting his seed where his mouth is, which is... I don't know.

00:55:51.000 I don't want to keep going with that one.

00:55:53.000 He's personally going to turn around our birthday, but the reality is that was a conversation people weren't open to having, not even because they were against it, because they were like, that's so weird and abstract.

00:56:01.000 Like, when Elon Musk gets behind something, you know it's actually leading you in an interesting and probably, you know, important direction.

00:56:11.000 He doesn't talk about things just because You know, he's feeling like it.

00:56:14.000 He talks about them because he feels as though they are going to have a major impact.

00:56:17.000 Then he goes and does the thing.

00:56:18.000 That's true.

00:56:19.000 Then he has 12 children.

00:56:20.000 What are the rest of you doing?

00:56:21.000 12 children, rocket ships, cybertrucks.

00:56:25.000 I think Wednesday we're going to get the updated polls and it's going to be tremendous for Trump.

00:56:30.000 I think in aggregate we might see him up four or five points and that's me being conservative.

00:56:36.000 I gotta be honest, if we saw an aggregate polling showing Trump at plus 9, I would not be surprised.

00:56:42.000 Yeah, it wouldn't be surprising.

00:56:43.000 The down-ballot consequences are what's going to be very significant here.

00:56:46.000 So, big pick-ups in the Senate and House is what's going to be huge.

00:56:50.000 And also, they basically halted the movement to replace Biden.

00:56:55.000 Like, okay, that's it.

00:56:56.000 I don't know why they would do that, actually.

00:56:57.000 To me, right now, it would be like, okay, now we've got nothing to lose, so get him out.

00:57:01.000 We'll see how that plays out.

00:57:01.000 I'm still betting that it won't be Biden on the ticket.

00:57:04.000 Why do you think it won't be?

00:57:06.000 You think he's just going to fail that much?

00:57:10.000 I think there might be a coup.

00:57:12.000 They've been working on the coup.

00:57:14.000 That's why he said that bullseye thing to a bunch of donors a week before the assassination attempt.

00:57:18.000 Maybe they can impeach him now and remove him and then replace him with somebody else.

00:57:21.000 It would have to be Congress to impeach him and Republicans wouldn't vote for that.

00:57:25.000 Well, okay, there's a problem.

00:57:26.000 Not now, anyway.

00:57:26.000 I haven't thought that through yet.

00:57:29.000 No, if we want to go, like, real tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.

00:57:32.000 Let's go for it.

00:57:34.000 I don't like putting this jujo in the universe, but a retaliatory attack on Kamala and Biden from a far-right extremist.

00:57:42.000 Oh, this is a terrible plan.

00:57:44.000 Well, it's a terrible plan.

00:57:47.000 But they are evil, and if they've got nothing left to lose, false flags galore.

00:57:51.000 See, I think the desperation from the DNC to sort of get away from this replace Biden narrative is interesting to factor in.

00:57:58.000 I mean, nothing was changing the story.

00:58:00.000 We were talking about Biden's gaffe.

00:58:02.000 We were going back through old footage.

00:58:04.000 He was making, you know, Vice President Trump and President Putin comments like, He couldn't stop it.

00:58:09.000 Like, this is really the only thing that has somewhat changed the media's attention.

00:58:13.000 And so I think you're right there.

00:58:15.000 You know, you could take this into a very, very dark place.

00:58:18.000 And it's just not for me to speculate about who and why and where.

00:58:21.000 But I think in the Biden campaign.

00:58:26.000 Needed the narrative to change really badly.

00:58:29.000 And this is one of the issues they now have was messaging.

00:58:32.000 Right.

00:58:32.000 Because they have been so divisive.

00:58:34.000 They can't now come back and say, like, just kidding.

00:58:36.000 We think Trump's an OK guy.

00:58:38.000 Like, you saw this this thing when he announced, you know, you.

00:58:42.000 When they announced that J.D.

00:58:43.000 Vance was vice president, I'm sure I'll talk about this more later, but Biden has statement pretty readily available.

00:58:49.000 It was there.

00:58:50.000 I mean, how long did it take him to respond to the attack in Pennsylvania?

00:58:54.000 A lot longer.

00:58:55.000 It's obvious to me that all of this is something that the Biden campaign was Both not prepared for and also are completely out of control.

00:59:04.000 What I wonder what will happen when the polls come out is how far down he will fall.

00:59:07.000 It's not just that Trump will surge, it's that Biden will become more unpopular because they cannot figure out how to get their narrative back on track.

00:59:15.000 I just want to say one thing because I know Tim's sensitive to it and as am I. Anybody calling for retaliatory whatever is Fed or Fed adjacent, disown them, disavow them and get the hell away from them because there's no need for it.

00:59:28.000 And it would never be the right thing in the first place, because you do not defeat the monster by becoming the monster, you've just replaced the monster.

00:59:33.000 That's right.

00:59:34.000 And predicted right now, Donald Trump 68 cents to win.

00:59:38.000 That's about 68% to win.

00:59:39.000 Joe Biden at 26 cents, Kamala at 12.

00:59:42.000 But Trump is 2 to 1 the favorite right now in the predicted betting market.

00:59:46.000 Speaking of feds, something I thought was interesting, I watched Joe Biden's address yesterday.

00:59:51.000 And when he was like rattling off the various other acts of political violence, of course, not missing the opportunity to condemn the spread of misinformation and insist that foreign actors were trying to meddle in our democracy.

01:00:04.000 I don't know about you, but I noticed he didn't bring up the Michigan kidnapping hoax.

01:00:09.000 No, he brought it up.

01:00:10.000 Oh, he did?

01:00:11.000 He didn't bring up January 6th.

01:00:13.000 There were a lot of events that I would have thought that he would have brought up, but they sort of hammered in, no pun intended, on certain events that he purposely didn't mention.

01:00:22.000 Are you sure he mentioned?

01:00:24.000 Maybe he did.

01:00:24.000 I didn't hear it.

01:00:26.000 I think he mentioned both.

01:00:27.000 I was listening to it and I was looking for it and he didn't.

01:00:30.000 Anyways, we can look after.

01:00:31.000 But anyways, I thought that that speech was just very, it was an interesting vibe for him to strike if he even knew what he was saying.

01:00:39.000 Yeah, that's the other thing with everything.

01:00:40.000 Like we go comb through Biden's social media history.

01:00:44.000 I stand by he does not.

01:00:45.000 He cannot operate Twitter.

01:00:47.000 He can barely operate the stairs, you know, like he is not actually writing any.

01:00:51.000 He's not like Trump, who is like, oh, I can't be on Twitter anymore.

01:00:54.000 I will start my own media company.

01:00:55.000 Like, it's very different.

01:00:57.000 And so you were mentioning earlier, like the concept.

01:00:59.000 Or the potential for it to be dog whistles.

01:01:01.000 I mean, that would be an internal staffing issue, right?

01:01:05.000 That would mean whoever's in charge of putting these tweets out is saying, like, I'm going to give some spicy language.

01:01:09.000 It would further indicate that Biden is not in control of the ship he's theoretically captaining.

01:01:15.000 And it's to the detriment of the country.

01:01:17.000 I also think that's sometimes why he comes off so discombobulated.

01:01:20.000 Obviously, part of it is the cognitive decline.

01:01:23.000 But, you know, Trump speaks for himself, right?

01:01:25.000 Trump is best when he is unfettered, pure, raw Trump.

01:01:28.000 And Biden is, I feel like, this weird collection of just a bunch of different advisors and, like, weird staffers who probably deep down all have very Different political leanings right and it comes out in this weird amalgamation that is like a Joe Biden speech So he has probably all these voices right in his head of different people advising him and that's why he's like Well, I didn't mean bullseye.

01:01:48.000 I meant crosshair, you know It's like it's competing Voices telling him what to say whereas Trump can be so on message and so direct because he thinks for himself, right?

01:01:57.000 He can make his own picks with Joe Biden.

01:01:58.000 It's like a little bit of this Trump was at the rally before he got shot.

01:02:01.000 He was saying, I'm gonna go off-prompter.

01:02:03.000 Do you mind?

01:02:03.000 They hate it when I do it, but these prompters are so boring!

01:02:08.000 gook as Steve would say. Trump was at the rally before he got shot he was saying 0.69

01:02:14.000 I'm gonna go off-prompter do you mind something like I do you mind like they

01:02:17.000 hate it when I do it but these prompters are so boring and he just talked to the

01:02:20.000 crowd and he's he's funny. Yeah I mean that's that's his biggest asset of all.

01:02:23.000 I mean, even the fact that there was a prop on stage and he's gesticulating.

01:02:27.000 I mean, you know, we can never say, but some of these things seem to have played into what saved his life.

01:02:32.000 And I think that there's there's just there was always sort of a very clear contrast between Trump and Biden.

01:02:39.000 You know, no one was mistaking them for each other.

01:02:41.000 They aren't two politicians who are polished and poised in the same way.

01:02:45.000 It really feels like now it's even more pronounced, in part because Trump is rallying the country forward and Biden is slowly disintegrating in front of us.

01:02:55.000 Yeah, and one of the crazy things, and again about this, obviously every part of this is really crazy, but before the shooting, before the attempted assassination, it was just a regular Trump rally.

01:03:05.000 Everything was going well.

01:03:06.000 Well, you were there!

01:03:07.000 I wanted to tell you guys a funny little story where I feel so ambivalent about.

01:03:13.000 I was actually covering the Trump rally for Timcast News.

01:03:16.000 I was there a couple of hours before the shooting, and then I remember getting a notification

01:03:22.000 saying the Trump rally was in Butler, Pennsylvania, but then I got a notification saying, oh,

01:03:27.000 Jill Biden's having a campaign event for Joe Biden just an hour away. 0.70

01:03:32.000 And I thought, you know, I've covered dozens of Trump rallies.

01:03:34.000 They're actually kind of boring after you hear the same spiel, talk to all the Trump

01:03:38.000 supporters and whatnot.

01:03:40.000 So I head out to go to this Jill Biden campaign rally.

01:03:43.000 I ended up speaking to some supporters.

01:03:45.000 I thought I got some great coverage there.

01:03:47.000 I leave there.

01:03:49.000 I see on Twitter as I'm driving out towards Milwaukee of the horrible news about Trump a couple of hours out.

01:03:56.000 Obviously, the story's not about me.

01:03:57.000 It was a crazy series of events.

01:04:00.000 I mean, it was definitely interesting being on staff because our executive editor, Chris Card, reached out to me being like, can you jump on your laptop?

01:04:05.000 Like, we got to get some stuff out.

01:04:07.000 And I knew you had been there.

01:04:09.000 And there was a moment where I was like, do I need to text a lot right now?

01:04:11.000 Like, is he, is he okay?

01:04:13.000 And then I saw, I happened to open my phone and the last tweet you'd put up or what was coming to my feed was like something from Joe Biden's thing.

01:04:18.000 Did you see that Aaron Ruppar, right?

01:04:20.000 Who obviously covers like every Trump rally ever.

01:04:23.000 This was the only rally that he decided to take off so he could go to a concert with his mom.

01:04:27.000 Can I, um, I think I just put something together.

01:04:30.000 The Jill and Kamala thing was the same day and the same time as Trump.

01:04:35.000 Simultaneously.

01:04:36.000 And that would be the explanation for why Secret Service was divided.

01:04:39.000 Which they say no.

01:04:40.000 I don't believe it's true.

01:04:41.000 Well, just add, appreciate that Biden's live speech last night, and I'll put it in quotes because I don't know what evidence we have that it was live.

01:04:49.000 I agree with you.

01:04:50.000 I think it was pre-recorded because he had to take a number of takes to get that thing done.

01:04:54.000 But stick a little red live in and people will believe it. 1.00

01:04:56.000 It was supposed to be a eulogy.

01:04:58.000 And it was supposed to be Biden saying, this is a terrible tragedy.

01:05:01.000 This is the result of Trump's terrible words.

01:05:04.000 And we must unify as a nation right now.

01:05:06.000 And then they would have chalked it up to the fact that, oh, well, the Secret Service and FBI was all split because we happen to have planned an event in the same state, a corrupt state, the same day that Trump is there.

01:05:17.000 You've just confirmed it in my mind.

01:05:19.000 This is definitely a Lee hop. 0.71

01:05:20.000 And that was their alibi.

01:05:21.000 I would say that what I saw from Biden, without jumping to the tin hat thing, what I saw from Biden was an attempt to take the reins of leadership, which clearly had been ceded on Saturday afternoon to Donald Trump, Donald Trump looked like a leader.

01:05:40.000 Biden did not.

01:05:41.000 And so he spent that even through tonight's Lester Holt interview.

01:05:45.000 Right.

01:05:45.000 He has spent this whole time trying to get the spotlight back on himself or his team has been trying to do that.

01:05:51.000 I don't know if Biden is aware of what's going on necessarily, but he's been trying to make himself paint himself as the leader of this nation.

01:05:59.000 When what we saw on Saturday afternoon is that he is not the leader of the United States.

01:06:05.000 I like all the various ways the White House has tried to depict Biden as, like, leading what is ever happening at the White House.

01:06:12.000 I remember, it was probably a year ago, Politico had put out that big story where they were saying, Joe Biden is yelling at everyone in the West Wing.

01:06:20.000 He's going on tirade, screaming at people, you know, putting them in their place.

01:06:24.000 It was so obvious.

01:06:24.000 I think there was a report like that this weekend before everything happened.

01:06:27.000 And it's just, it's so interesting, like, the information warfare side of things, how they try to go about depicting him as this, for lack of a better word, like, alpha male who's, you know, running around the White House, running the show, and we know nothing could be further from the case.

01:06:39.000 Before I jump to the next story, I just gotta say, um...

01:06:42.000 Props to Libby for that excellent slide ribbing at Viva. 1.00

01:06:46.000 That was very fun.

01:06:48.000 Libby, you remind me, I gotta give credit to Robert Barnes for a lot of the theorizing that I've absorbed through osmosis.

01:06:55.000 And last night we're doing our show and Barnes is talking like, they picked Pennsylvania, like the most corrupt state in which for this to happen.

01:07:02.000 And now the FBI is going to go investigate themselves.

01:07:04.000 What other state?

01:07:05.000 Do it in Texas and see what happens in that investigation.

01:07:07.000 I love how Texas sued Pennsylvania in 2020 for violating their own election laws and the Supreme Court was like, nah, we're okay.

01:07:15.000 Did you see Rhode Island?

01:07:16.000 Rhode Island put out that bizarre statement.

01:07:18.000 They're like, we've looked into this and we have nothing to do with this.

01:07:25.000 Let's jump to the story, ladies and gentlemen, from the Washington Post.

01:07:29.000 Trump's classified documents case dismissed by Judge Eileen Cannon.

01:07:34.000 Special Counsel Jack Smith says he will appeal the judge's ruling that he was improperly appointed.

01:07:40.000 Trump won.

01:07:42.000 The rich get richer, there's so many things lining up.

01:07:45.000 Obviously the assassination, not lining up, but politically, the past month or so has been unbelievable for Donald Trump.

01:07:52.000 I'm getting tired of winning.

01:07:53.000 Really wild, yeah.

01:07:54.000 Between the debate performance, obviously surviving the assassination attempt defiantly, In the fashion that he did.

01:08:02.000 With resolve and hope and optimism for the American people.

01:08:05.000 I feel like we didn't linger and talk enough about how you couldn't have written it better when he came back up, was willing to yell, fight, not scared, pumping his fist.

01:08:16.000 If Hollywood was honest, there'd be a film in the making already.

01:08:20.000 And now that you know they came for the king with so many different shots and none have hit.

01:08:25.000 Metaphorically.

01:08:26.000 Teflon Don.

01:08:27.000 You know what's fascinating is you guys watch The Boys.

01:08:30.000 I have been watching that show.

01:08:32.000 I am enjoying it.

01:08:33.000 I watch it with my kids.

01:08:34.000 Is that the sequel to Girls?

01:08:35.000 No, it's a superhero show.

01:08:38.000 It's supposed to be a parody of superheroes, so they're just making fun of superheroes.

01:08:44.000 Homelander is supposed to be Superman.

01:08:47.000 And initially, he wasn't Trump, but now, into season three, they decided to make it Trump versus Hillary or something, and so they're all just allusions to modern American politics.

01:08:59.000 They outright say things like QAnon and make references to it.

01:09:03.000 And they have rallies.

01:09:04.000 But Homelander is supposed to be Trump. 0.99

01:09:06.000 And the way they depict him in this show is this evil, narcissistic guy with mommy issues. 0.99

01:09:13.000 Crashing planes with other people. 0.95

01:09:15.000 Yeah, right.

01:09:16.000 And then lying about it and saying, you know, but evil running a corporation.

01:09:21.000 And they would have loved if when Donald Trump got shot, he panicked, crawled on the ground,

01:09:28.000 stumbled on the stairs and ran shaking in a random direction

01:09:31.000 Instead, as the Secret Service is trying to pull him away, he resists, raises his fists, and yells, Fight!

01:09:37.000 Fight!

01:09:38.000 Oh, it was great.

01:09:39.000 Has anyone seen the movie Dead Zone with Christopher Walken?

01:09:42.000 How old is that movie?

01:09:43.000 Oh, it's old as Methuselah.

01:09:45.000 But that's how they got rid of Charlie Sheen's, is it Charlie Sheen's dad?

01:09:49.000 What's his name?

01:09:50.000 Martin Sheen.

01:09:51.000 And you know, I don't want to ruin the movie for anybody.

01:09:53.000 You mean President Bartlett?

01:09:54.000 That's true!

01:09:55.000 So true!

01:09:56.000 So in that movie, spoiler alert for anybody who hasn't seen it, it's a great movie, but it's an applauded assassination against a politician.

01:10:03.000 The guy takes out a gun and the politician picks up a baby and uses it as a shield.

01:10:07.000 A literal baby.

01:10:09.000 A literal baby, and he didn't even have to get killed.

01:10:11.000 It was the point.

01:10:12.000 His career was done after that, and the guy who could see the future, Christopher Walken, you know, dies knowing that he foiled World War whatever three.

01:10:20.000 Trump's response, it makes me want to cry.

01:10:22.000 It's absolute.

01:10:25.000 It's you.

01:10:26.000 It's art, but it's real life.

01:10:28.000 This is a man, he just took a bullet, and he gets up and says, forget the shoes.

01:10:33.000 The shoes, I was actually worried he might have hit his head and he's a little discombobulated.

01:10:36.000 When people get hit in the head, they get a little, you know, defensive.

01:10:39.000 I think he wanted to walk off that stage like a man. 0.99

01:10:42.000 He says, wait, wait, wait, and puts up his fist with blood dripping from his... For the crowd, that was for us.

01:10:47.000 That was for the Americans. 0.94

01:10:48.000 I don't want to say imagine if it was another politician, but you can imagine someone saying, get me out of here and cover me, you a-holes. 1.00

01:10:55.000 To resist your own secret service who are like, we are leaving the stage, and he's like, no, and they can't make him, right?

01:11:00.000 It's like he is doing something.

01:11:01.000 He's in the middle of something.

01:11:02.000 And that's the thing about Donald Trump.

01:11:04.000 He has such a strong will.

01:11:06.000 There's a reason that we say that there was a different response to him on the geopolitical stage.

01:11:09.000 But it was the selflessness of the act that he might, in theory, still have been at risk.

01:11:14.000 And he's like, screw this.

01:11:15.000 I'm fighting for the country.

01:11:16.000 And I'll tell you this. 1.00

01:11:16.000 If anybody didn't like Donald Trump before that and still doesn't like him now, You're an idiot. 1.00

01:11:21.000 When I saw this, this is what I thought. 1.00

01:11:25.000 If Donald Trump can take a bullet for you, you can take the time to go and vote for him.

01:11:31.000 I hope people do.

01:11:32.000 I hope that, as Franklin said, the Trump supporter has now become the Trump voter.

01:11:38.000 Guaranteed.

01:11:38.000 I hope so.

01:11:41.000 I think that's true.

01:11:42.000 I also think that this is a wake up call for independence, right?

01:11:47.000 I mean, this is not a thing that you can just be on the fence about anymore.

01:11:51.000 And I think as the days play out, as you see the contrasting administration and the responses, it is something that you can't really say, this didn't have an effect on me.

01:11:59.000 I didn't feel anything.

01:12:00.000 I didn't I didn't look at Donald Trump with blood on his face, standing up and as this crowd chants, USA, USA, and think, I'm just not going to go to the polls like Everyone had a reaction to this.

01:12:11.000 I know we've been ragging on the Secret Service a lot, and a lot of people have been saying, like, oh, DEI, and they've been infiltrated by this ideology, but we need to be thankful that they're actually women's Secret Service, allowing for that photo to look so iconic, with him not being covered by these six foot six men.

01:12:31.000 He was like, you know, he was overshadowing this small female officer, like barely coming up to his waist, like holding on to him.

01:12:39.000 So we have to thank the Secret Service, the DEI.

01:12:43.000 But just to go back to the topic at hand, Donald Trump's victory in the classified documents case, now there is a suggestion that they could bring the charges back, but the lawfare that they're waging against Trump When the view the Washington Post has of this, okay, that Trump's argument succeeded, that Jack Smith was improperly appointed, an argument that many people made a while ago, they're framing it as though it shouldn't have happened, it's an odd thing, the judge shouldn't have done this.

01:13:14.000 When we look at what they did to Trump in New York, they created a new law that would allow someone to sue Donald Trump for sexual impropriety.

01:13:22.000 That's how he got there.

01:13:24.000 They accused him of civil fraud, even though his lender said he didn't defraud us, he gave us the warnings outright, and we like doing business with him.

01:13:31.000 They still go after him.

01:13:33.000 All of that is abnormal.

01:13:34.000 We call it out, they say we're lying, we're conspiracy theorists.

01:13:37.000 When Donald Trump actually succeeds and the judge says, he's right, this guy was improperly appointed, the media's like, well that's strange, that shouldn't happen, and the charges will probably come back anyway.

01:13:46.000 It's funny how they'll come back, they already know.

01:13:48.000 Well, it's an amazing thing.

01:13:49.000 It might be too late to make this trend, but it's White Pill Monday, and this is just the third in the hat-trick J.D. 0.52

01:13:56.000 Vance this, but the one being he survived by a millimeter.

01:14:01.000 The corruption is catching up with them in real time, because all of this was corrupt from day one, and E. Jean Carroll lobbying to change that law so that she could sue within the window of opportunity, and she's guana crazy.

01:14:14.000 Can I just read what he said?

01:14:15.000 away with it in a corrupt political system. The other New York case where Judge Marchand

01:14:19.000 now has to suspend sentencing, if any, because they have to go back and revisit it because

01:14:23.000 of the immunity ruling a little while ago. The corruption is catching up in real time.

01:14:27.000 Finally, you could say the judiciary is doing their job, but they've sat on their hands

01:14:31.000 for a critically long period of time. But this one, Clarence Thomas set out the...

01:14:37.000 Can I just read what he said?

01:14:38.000 Yeah. He said he had it in his decision in the Supreme Court.

01:14:41.000 In this case, the attorney general purported to appoint a private citizen, a special counsel

01:14:45.000 to prosecute a former president on behalf of the United States, said Thomas.

01:14:49.000 But I am not sure that any office for the special counsel has been established by law as the Constitution requires.

01:14:56.000 By requiring that Congress create federal offices by law, the Constitution imposes an important check against the president.

01:15:02.000 He cannot create offices at his pleasure.

01:15:05.000 By establishing if there is if there is no law establishing the office that the special counsel occupies, then he cannot proceed with this prosecution.

01:15:14.000 A private citizen cannot criminally prosecute anyone, let alone a former president.

01:15:18.000 Let's go back to the iron law of woke projection.

01:15:20.000 They accused Trump of acting like a king.

01:15:22.000 That's literally kingly behavior. 0.95

01:15:24.000 I love the part.

01:15:25.000 I mean, what's what's so interesting is the president cannot create offices at his pleasure.

01:15:31.000 In other words, the president can't hire goons to go after his political rivals.

01:15:36.000 Exactly.

01:15:37.000 What they did is basically what America thought it did.

01:15:39.000 Although perhaps he'd be immune if he did so, if it was part of the official acts of the office.

01:15:44.000 But it is amazing.

01:15:45.000 It was raised in an amicus, the argument that Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed.

01:15:48.000 Clarence Thomas set out the framework for any further ruling on that.

01:15:52.000 And Eileen Cannon, the only judge doing her job in this, It's amazing.

01:15:57.000 It was it was predictable.

01:15:58.000 It's fascinating.

01:15:58.000 And now they're going to call for the impeachment of Eileen.

01:16:01.000 But if these people really wanted unity, I mean, they would they would drop all these cases.

01:16:05.000 And frankly, you can see that unity isn't really in the core of their being when they're already in meltdown right over this case getting dismissed.

01:16:13.000 And right now, because President Trump's not in office, they're obviously going the lawfare route.

01:16:16.000 But when he was in office, right, they impeached him twice.

01:16:19.000 That's not very unity inspired, if you ask me.

01:16:22.000 Clarence Thomas will be the judge for the appeal, or how does that work?

01:16:26.000 You're Canadian, but maybe... No, no, Clarence Thomas, it would have to get it back to the Supreme Court.

01:16:31.000 This will go to the, I don't know what, Fifth Circuit or Eleventh Circuit.

01:16:34.000 Unless AOC wins her impeachment.

01:16:36.000 But each justice controls certain regions.

01:16:38.000 Oh, I would not, I would have to refer to my bigger brain, Robert Barnes, on that one.

01:16:42.000 I don't know about that one either.

01:16:44.000 So this is the argument the left has for packing the court, is that I think, what are there, 13 different...

01:16:48.000 But we only have nine justices, and it's because we never added more after the fact, and so some have more than one.

01:16:56.000 Oh, is that why we have nine districts?

01:16:57.000 Is that what that is?

01:16:59.000 Oh, there's more circuits.

01:17:00.000 Tim's gonna get in trouble.

01:17:01.000 It's not packing the court anymore, it's expanding the court, because packing is unconstitutional.

01:17:06.000 Expanding is constitutionally required.

01:17:08.000 That was the argument they made.

01:17:12.000 I'm not sure how it works, but something to the effect of, like, each justice oversees a certain district for when appeals are filed.

01:17:19.000 And someone said Clarence Thomas is in this jurisdiction.

01:17:21.000 I'm trying to pull up the jurisdictions right now, but you're right.

01:17:24.000 I mean, it's divided, and that's why occasionally you'll see, oh, you know, Alito has stopped this thing, this person has signed off on whatever.

01:17:31.000 It would be funny if it was Clarence Thomas.

01:17:33.000 Let's jump to the big story of the day.

01:17:35.000 Donald Trump selects J.D.

01:17:37.000 Vance as the VP.

01:17:39.000 Another white pill.

01:17:40.000 J.D.

01:17:41.000 Vance, this is actually, we got advanced warning because I guess government vehicles showed up at his house the other day, and then people tried... Motorcade, special motorcade.

01:17:48.000 Yeah, and people tried playing it off like, you know, it's not gonna be him, that was something else, and it's like...

01:17:54.000 Donald Trump faces an assassination attempt, and the U.S.

01:17:58.000 government immediately rushes to J.D.

01:17:59.000 Vance's house.

01:18:00.000 We know who the VP pick is.

01:18:01.000 And now it's official.

01:18:03.000 Now you know why Predicted limits their bets to $850.

01:18:07.000 It's a white pill.

01:18:10.000 I do want to mention this, because we were at the RNC earlier today, and we're hanging out at one of the little pub eateries in the big complex where they're doing everything.

01:18:18.000 And I'm like, well, we're gonna stick around because Trump's supposed to make his announcement at some point and we're assuming he's gonna come here and someone's gonna come on stage.

01:18:25.000 Nah, he just posted on Truth.

01:18:27.000 So we're sitting there eating cheeseburgers and it's like, he just posted it?

01:18:29.000 Alright, let's go back to the studio and we'll head back, but what do you guys think?

01:18:33.000 J.D.

01:18:33.000 Vance, good call?

01:18:35.000 Well, I really just want to thank President Donald Trump for confirming my months-long prediction that this would be this election.

01:18:40.000 You're really doing me a solid, President Trump.

01:18:42.000 I appreciate it.

01:18:43.000 No, I mean, I think J.D.

01:18:44.000 Vance is such an interesting pick, partially because so many Americans know him because of Hillbilly Elegy, which I just think had...

01:18:52.000 You know, publishing is sort of a dying industry in the day and age of social media, but that book had such a profound impact on the American public.

01:19:00.000 And this was before he was in the Senate.

01:19:02.000 It's about his, I'm sure all of you know, but it's about his life growing up in Ohio and Kentucky.

01:19:06.000 It's about his family, this function that was there, you know, the influence of opioids and alcohol and his rise through, you know, the, you know, The challenging circumstances he was in, into the Marine Corps, to Ohio State, to Yale Law, to Silicon Valley, working with Pierre de Gaulle, I mean, now, you know, Senate VP pick.

01:19:24.000 It's fascinating.

01:19:25.000 And for me, you know, when I, I worked in Connecticut after college at a very, you know, elite boarding school.

01:19:31.000 It's all girls. 1.00

01:19:32.000 And I worked with, you know, feminists, Democrats, people who never would ever, ever vote for Trump.

01:19:37.000 And they talked about JD Vance because he had opened their eyes to a world and community that they just had no access to.

01:19:43.000 And I don't think that that is that can be understated as an impactful as an impact and influence for his campaign.

01:19:49.000 Of course, there are things you can complain about in terms of his record.

01:19:51.000 Of course, I want to know how he's what he would do about birthright citizenship and some other immigration questions.

01:19:56.000 But I think it is a it's a really interesting choice, especially from the man who gained prominence on The Apprentice.

01:20:04.000 Politically, I don't think any of Trump's VP picks was going to be significant.

01:20:09.000 In 2016, I think he needed to choose Mike Pence to shore up the evangelical vote and give him more credibility from the establishment.

01:20:17.000 But now he doesn't need any of that credibility.

01:20:19.000 Trump is the Republican Party, so any vice president would do.

01:20:22.000 I don't think J.D.

01:20:24.000 Vance being his VP pick is winning over any additional voters.

01:20:27.000 I think there needs to be some interesting politics at play with the governor now appointing the former junior senator to be J.D.

01:20:35.000 Who is the governor against?

01:20:36.000 DeWine is the governor in Ohio.

01:20:38.000 I think, I mean, we've talked about this, you know, if it opens up, maybe he'll appoint Vivek Ramaswamy because he's also from Ohio.

01:20:44.000 I mean, it is interesting that Trump picked a, you know, someone who everyone points out is a never-Trumper.

01:20:48.000 I mean, it's not insignificant, it's a sort of transformational story.

01:20:51.000 That's unity.

01:20:52.000 That's what that is.

01:20:53.000 That is unity.

01:20:54.000 What it is, I think there were... Unity with the never-Trumpers.

01:20:56.000 Well, there's a good joke in there that there's no you in their unity.

01:21:01.000 His VP pick was absolutely critical because it needs to be assassination insurance.

01:21:07.000 And there were a number of his VP picks who were not only not... I saw a lot of tweets about this.

01:21:10.000 If you want assassination insurance, you pick Steve Bannon.

01:21:13.000 Vance is not giving you enough of that insurance.

01:21:13.000 J.D.

01:21:15.000 Have you seen Eric Prince everywhere?

01:21:17.000 I disagree with that, but there were some people being floated who would be the exact opposite of assassination insurance.

01:21:23.000 They would be a deep state reward for taking Trump out.

01:21:25.000 Tim Scott, Warhor would be one of them.

01:21:28.000 As far as I understood, the consensus was that Burgum also would be a useful replacement to Trump.

01:21:34.000 J.D.

01:21:35.000 Vance is a populist, he's good for food freedom, he's good for medical freedom, and he would not be any more of a pleasant substitute for Trump to the presidency, and there's a reason why the worst people on earth right now are freaking out over J.D.

01:21:49.000 Vance.

01:21:49.000 How do you justify his past comments being another Trump?

01:21:52.000 Who gives a sweet bugger all what he said in 2016?

01:21:54.000 Well, it means he wasn't loyal from the beginning, and it means that he could have And it means he could have just looked at the political trends of the time and, like, I'm just gonna follow in Trump's footsteps. 0.89

01:22:04.000 Or it means he's got a half-functioning brain and has seen that the world today is not the same world that it was in 2016.

01:22:08.000 Well, he spoke about this tonight when he was talking to Sean Hannity, and he said, um, I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016, but President Trump was a great president, and he changed my mind, and I think he changed the minds of a lot of Americans because, again, he delivered that peace and prosperity.

01:22:23.000 I mean, he changed my mind.

01:22:24.000 I wasn't like pro-Trump in 2016.

01:22:27.000 I didn't vote for him in 2016.

01:22:28.000 But you were a never-Trumper? 0.93

01:22:29.000 Or, I mean, that's a thing.

01:22:31.000 Never Trump.

01:22:32.000 And now he's just VP pick.

01:22:35.000 I literally said I will never vote for Donald Trump over and over again. 0.97

01:22:39.000 I'm pretty sure Michael Rappaport has been calling Trump pig D-I-C-K for the last... It's on the table! 0.97

01:22:43.000 Now it's on the table.

01:22:44.000 It's on the table!

01:22:44.000 No, he took it off the table.

01:22:46.000 He did take it off the table.

01:22:46.000 He did?

01:22:47.000 He's not going to vote for Trump for all the people who say that. 1.00

01:22:50.000 I always knew Rappaport was an idiot. 1.00

01:22:53.000 Until 2020, I was like, I will not vote for the guy. 1.00

01:22:56.000 I was like, you guys, I understand why people like him.

01:22:58.000 I'm not going to vote for him.

01:22:59.000 It's just, it is what it is.

01:23:00.000 And then late in 2020, when he released his second term agenda, I had a real conversation with some friends about it.

01:23:07.000 I had been reporting on what was going on with them, and I said, I can't look at what's going on with Wokeness, D.E.I., see Donald Trump attempting to stop it, and argue I would vote against it.

01:23:17.000 I can't see what he did with getting our troops out of Syria, trying to at least, and trying to get a timeline for getting out of Afghanistan, and argue against it.

01:23:23.000 In fact, when you look at his four years, I had been saying the whole time, he's crass, he's crude, he lacks decorum, I wouldn't vote for the guy, and then I saw what he did in North Korea. 0.98

01:23:33.000 And then I saw what he did with the Abraham Accords, and I was like, this guy needs four more years. 0.94

01:23:39.000 Now he needs four more years, I'll say right now.

01:23:40.000 I also think that JD Vance is like, look, I am always hesitant when people have ever uttered the words, never Trump.

01:23:46.000 I think we have like PTSD from so many people who have stabbed Trump.

01:23:50.000 But I do think it's funny that you bring up Steve Bannon.

01:23:50.000 In the back.

01:23:53.000 I would totally co-sign on Steve as VP.

01:23:55.000 But I think there are actually some interesting similarities between Steve and JD Vance.

01:24:00.000 And what I mean by that is that if you look at their background, right, they came from, you know, family situations that are working class or in JD's case, a little bit less than that, right?

01:24:07.000 Hillbillyology.

01:24:08.000 They worked their way up.

01:24:09.000 They served in the military.

01:24:11.000 They went to prestigious schools.

01:24:13.000 They had the nice, cushy, you know, venture capitalist investment banking jobs.

01:24:17.000 But in many ways, they're class traitors in the sense that they left that world to become true, I think, to their core fire-breathing populist types.

01:24:25.000 And I think that men who are willing to walk away from that and kind of return back and fight for the common man, the American people, I think that that speaks volumes.

01:24:35.000 And I think that you see it in his actions.

01:24:37.000 And frankly, I hope that President Trump has J.D.

01:24:41.000 Vance, you know, tackle and focus on issues like immigration, like ending what's going on in Ukraine.

01:24:48.000 J.D.

01:24:48.000 Because you know what?

01:24:49.000 Vance wants to have a political future, and he knows that he will not if he doesn't Administer and get that border under control.

01:24:55.000 If he doesn't stop the continuous flow of US taxpayer dollars to Ukraine, I think that there's sort of an interesting, I think, chance with him to really make sure that he adheres to the MAGA base.

01:25:07.000 Because you know what?

01:25:08.000 He has to prove himself.

01:25:09.000 And frankly, I think it's better to have some, I mean, yeah, it'd be great to have someone who's, you know, just like Trump and copies everything that he does.

01:25:16.000 But we can't clone him yet.

01:25:18.000 But you have someone who has to prove themselves.

01:25:20.000 And I think that you can maybe in some ways find a silver lining there.

01:25:23.000 because I think he's going to work in lockstep and he's not going to be a traitor like Pence was.

01:25:27.000 I think he really speaks to the theme that is common in some parts of the right of redemption.

01:25:33.000 It's obviously a Christian theme, but people love that on the right. And J.D. Vance is having that

01:25:39.000 opportunity at redemption and Trump supporters are embracing him. And it's good for him. One

01:25:44.000 of the other key things here that I think we might be overlooking too soon, this informally makes J.D.

01:25:49.000 Vance the successor to the MAGA movement as Trump's VP. In a term where Trump will be termed out,

01:25:57.000 but informally, for now, he has the mantle more than anybody else on the right as, you know,

01:26:03.000 the MAGA successor, which will be significant in a post-Trump landscape.

01:26:06.000 I know we're getting ahead of ourselves.

01:26:07.000 Well, I think that they're, you know, you're right.

01:26:10.000 It does put him at the forefront of the circle, but it still leaves room for a ton of people to do interesting things.

01:26:14.000 I mean, the governorships, the state, the senators, the congressional roles that are Trump picked me to be his second in case anything happened to me.

01:26:21.000 I am the successor.

01:26:23.000 But I think we have four years and there are a lot of really talented people who could who could carry this.

01:26:23.000 I think it's significant.

01:26:27.000 I mean, that's part of the nice thing about populism, right?

01:26:29.000 Like, we don't have to look for the federal government for everything.

01:26:32.000 And I think the criticism of JD Vance's past comments are important.

01:26:35.000 I think this is one of the things that we now Are in a position to do as people who if you're thinking about if you think of yourself as an American first person if you think yourself as someone who?

01:26:43.000 Wants this more this this worldview to kind of spread and grow is to say What are we willing to do in terms of redemption?

01:26:51.000 and also what are our standards for the people who are saying,

01:26:54.000 well actually I want back in.

01:26:55.000 I think I want to be back on this train.

01:26:57.000 So there's hope for Nikki?

01:26:58.000 There's hope for Nikki Haley?

01:27:00.000 She is Christian!

01:27:01.000 He's Christian!

01:27:02.000 God's fingers are crossed over here.

01:27:03.000 I will say.

01:27:04.000 She's speaking at the convention.

01:27:05.000 She thought she was going to be the presidential nominee at the convention. 0.94

01:27:09.000 I have to make this official now.

01:27:12.000 Will Chamberlain formally owes money to a charity of my choosing.

01:27:15.000 So he bet me it was going to be Nikki Haley and I said, no way, it's not.

01:27:19.000 And he said, gentlemen's bet.

01:27:21.000 And so the agreement is he would make a contribution to a charity if it was not Nikki.

01:27:25.000 And when Trump came out and said, it's definitely not Nikki, he agreed that he lost.

01:27:29.000 I said, no, no, no, no, we have to wait because Trump just saying it's not enough.

01:27:32.000 But now it's official.

01:27:33.000 And so we'll find something good, maybe something for veterans or like tunnels to towers or something.

01:27:36.000 I just want to say one thing.

01:27:37.000 Sorry, I didn't mean to jump down your throat when you brought up the never-Trumper from 2016. 0.75

01:27:40.000 I've been hearing that all day.

01:27:42.000 You can't penalize evolution. 0.81

01:27:45.000 You can penalize hypocrisy.

01:27:47.000 Can you reward loyalty then?

01:27:48.000 Yeah.

01:27:49.000 Okay, then let's reward loyalty then.

01:27:51.000 For somebody who was never a never-Trumper.

01:27:53.000 I don't know what that would look like.

01:27:55.000 For an always-Trumper. 1.00

01:27:56.000 Trump Jr.

01:27:58.000 Well, first of all, Trump 2024.

01:28:00.000 I heard people on the internet floating the idea that it was going to be Barron as the VP.

01:28:04.000 Suddenly the US will be Trump and son.

01:28:08.000 The quote here, put it on a mug, is you can penalize hypocrisy, but you can't penalize evolution, because if you do, you're basically forcing people to stubbornly stick to their views that they no longer hold.

01:28:18.000 And so I reward evolution if it's sincere, and I will penalize hypocrisy if they bounce around like a broken apple.

01:28:23.000 Redemption is a beautiful thing.

01:28:26.000 A lot, so much.

01:28:27.000 I think it's fair to be mad.

01:28:27.000 And I get that.

01:28:28.000 I think there are a lot of people who are incredibly talented, who have been loyal to Trump since 2016, and who are vocal in this.

01:28:34.000 But if Pence was the selection to win the evangelical vote, maybe having someone to win the never-Trump vote to say, look, you guys can always return home.

01:28:42.000 He's such an anti-never-Trumper too now, J.D., I think, in my estimation.

01:28:46.000 Look, people who convert are always the most devout and most open about it.

01:28:50.000 Is everyone else also in love with J.D.' 's eyes?

01:28:52.000 Because he's got beautiful, deep blue eyes.

01:28:55.000 And he has a son named Vick.

01:28:57.000 They always say they think he's wearing eyeliner.

01:28:59.000 It doesn't hurt that he's a very good-looking... He looks like a good-looking man.

01:29:05.000 And has a young family.

01:29:06.000 I think that's interesting, too.

01:29:07.000 Before we go to Super Chats, I want to circle back just to this post from Colin Rugg.

01:29:12.000 He tweeted about 40 minutes ago, a police counter-sniper team was inside the building that Thomas Crooks shot from during the shooting, according to the New York Post.

01:29:20.000 This just keeps getting more insane.

01:29:21.000 According to sources who spoke at the Post, Crooks was literally climbing on top of the building where the watch post for the snipers was located.

01:29:28.000 The building, the AGR International, Inc.

01:29:30.000 factory in Butler, Pennsylvania, was being used by local police as a watch post for snipers to scan for the threats as the former president spoke on stage only 130 yards away, the Post reported.

01:29:40.000 Crooks was reportedly spotted at the building 26 minutes before the incident.

01:29:45.000 This sounds exactly like the plot to the movie Shooter.

01:29:48.000 Well, if I may steelman this.

01:29:50.000 I'll steelman this for the sake of the people who still don't believe this was a Lehop. 0.98

01:29:54.000 They thought he was a sniper.

01:29:55.000 They didn't identify him as a citizen.

01:29:58.000 They thought he was one of the crew and so they let him be.

01:30:00.000 This is the explanation as to why the reason why the Secret Service on top of the barn that everyone saw didn't take action.

01:30:07.000 The official statement was that they thought it was law enforcement where law enforcement was supposed to be.

01:30:13.000 But that doesn't explain how 26 minutes went by with them taking a picture and reporting.

01:30:18.000 I mean, I suppose... I steel-manned it.

01:30:22.000 I don't believe it, but I can steel-man that argument.

01:30:24.000 I suppose the idea that Donald Trump, but for a few millimeters, survived is an astronomical insanity.

01:30:31.000 I can accept, fair argument, it was an all-around astronomical absurdity that happened today.

01:30:37.000 If you want to believe that Trump getting missed was the grace of God, then perhaps you can argue the entire circumstance was an act of God to bolster Trump and save his election or something.

01:30:46.000 I don't know.

01:30:46.000 Well, I would go less personal than Trump, but this will really redirect American trajectory in terms of where it was going versus where it looks like it's going to go now.

01:30:56.000 The only, you know, the biggest problem in calling this an act of God or divine intervention is that the gentleman died.

01:31:02.000 And, you know, you can't always prevent evil, but you can have something of a divine intervention to mitigate the consequences of that evil, and I believe that we just really saved the course of American future by what happened.

01:31:14.000 What was the name of the victim who was shot Colin?

01:31:17.000 Corey Comperator.

01:31:19.000 Corey Comperator.

01:31:20.000 I believe he has a GoFundMe, obviously.

01:31:22.000 Because of last night, it had over $750,000 raised, which is incredible.

01:31:25.000 I mean, people really want to rally around this family, and if you read his daughter's statement, I mean... So sad and moving.

01:31:31.000 It's moving and sad, and it's terrible to have loss in your family, and I appreciate that they are willing to speak openly about what's going on, because I think a lot of people have questions and want to act.

01:31:40.000 Like, the fact that you could give to their family and say, like, we are sorry this happened to you, we want to...

01:31:45.000 These were Trump VIPs, too.

01:31:48.000 Die-hard Trump supporters in the bleachers.

01:31:50.000 They're hours before Trump got on to see Trump.

01:31:54.000 A second movie reference of the night.

01:31:56.000 Everyone's seen Good Will Hunting?

01:31:58.000 Yes.

01:31:58.000 It's just like, you know, it is wonderful that people will donate and support.

01:32:03.000 You know, there's not all the money in the world that can undo this tragedy for the family.

01:32:07.000 And it's just, it's beyond horror.

01:32:09.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button?

01:32:13.000 One like equals one!

01:32:14.000 Fight!

01:32:16.000 And head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member.

01:32:19.000 That uncensored show, member call-in show, will be coming up in about a half an hour at TimCast.com, so you don't want to miss that, and you as members help make this show possible, so again, TimCast.com.

01:32:29.000 But we'll read your Super Chats.

01:32:31.000 Clint Torres, of course, the first, saying, howdy people!

01:32:33.000 Howdy, Clint.

01:32:35.000 Shane H. Wilder says, I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said all weekend.

01:32:38.000 Thank you, Tim, for donating Super Chat money to Corey Comperator's family and all those affected.

01:32:43.000 God bless.

01:32:43.000 Now, I want to pause real quick.

01:32:45.000 I was asked this morning if I would, and I said, that would be great.

01:32:48.000 Maybe we can work out some kind of match or something.

01:32:49.000 But here's why I didn't say anything at the beginning of the show.

01:32:52.000 YouTube takes a cut.

01:32:53.000 If you want to donate to the family of Corey Compratore, doing so directly would make more money go to that family, and I didn't want to do... If I was like, oh yeah, super chat us and we'll donate the money, it just gives YouTube a piece of that donation.

01:33:07.000 So...

01:33:08.000 You should go to the Families Go Fund Me, you can search for it, and give directly, and I think that's better.

01:33:14.000 However, that being said, all the Super Chat revenue so far, we will give, I will donate to the family, but I want to stress, if you do Super Chat right now, YouTube's getting 35% of that, you're better off giving the money directly to the family.

01:33:26.000 I thought it would be a fun thing to do, but, you know, after, I was reminded, like, yeah, but YouTube's going to take a huge portion, I'm like, ooh, that would, that would kind of suck.

01:33:34.000 Hey, everybody, donate!

01:33:35.000 Give the money to us, and then we'll give it to them, and then YouTube slices a chunk off.

01:33:38.000 And I would say I think it's meaningful to the family.

01:33:40.000 I can imagine, you know, seeing all of those donations come in.

01:33:43.000 I mean, you know, every $5 donation, every $20 donation is someone reaching out to them, and I just can imagine that that is, again, a reminder of how many people are praying for and thinking of their family.

01:33:54.000 I read a report that said Trump might be going to the funeral.

01:33:56.000 I could be wrong.

01:33:57.000 Wow.

01:33:58.000 All right, Raymond G. Maga Stanley Jr.

01:34:01.000 It's Maga, I'm told.

01:34:02.000 Everyone got mad at me.

01:34:03.000 I just watched the Milk Bar TV video.

01:34:05.000 It took forever to get to the two minute mark.

01:34:07.000 They had all the time and did nothing to prevent it.

01:34:09.000 Weird, weird.

01:34:10.000 Shout out to Milk Bar TV on X. They took Trump's speech, the words he was saying, and synchronized all of the videos.

01:34:17.000 So you get a direct timeline with these videos popping in and out.

01:34:21.000 And it's insane that they're going, he's got a gun!

01:34:24.000 They're screaming!

01:34:25.000 And it's just like, Two minutes, go by.

01:34:28.000 The internet's crazy.

01:34:29.000 Where's that link?

01:34:30.000 I haven't seen that conversation.

01:34:31.000 I think I retweeted it.

01:34:32.000 Oh god, I have to see it.

01:34:33.000 Milk Bar TV.

01:34:34.000 Watch.

01:34:35.000 So the first video where they're filming the building and they're pointing at the guy, you can hear Trump in the background.

01:34:41.000 So they took the live footage of Trump actually speaking and put them side by side, synchronizing his speech.

01:34:46.000 Then when that video stops, it cuts back to Trump speaking.

01:34:49.000 Then another video starts, and you can tell where it is because of how it's masterfully done.

01:34:55.000 And I was watching that, I was dumbfounded, I was like, you see the timer, the timestamp?

01:34:59.000 Two minutes and one second from when they screamed, he's on the roof, he's got a gun, to when Trump got shot.

01:35:05.000 Did anybody identify who the woman screaming Crooks was?

01:35:09.000 In one of the videos- Really?

01:35:10.000 Yeah, there was something like, Crooks, what are you doing up there?

01:35:13.000 Like, I don't know what's real anymore on the internet, so I'm reluctant to retweet.

01:35:17.000 It sounded like, and we didn't address the fact that both of his parents were apparently government psychology, psychological workers.

01:35:23.000 Both of his parents were- Are they with the governor or they're just registered?

01:35:26.000 And he worked at like a nursing home or whatever?

01:35:28.000 He didn't look right in the head from the videos that we've seen, but I'm not gonna diagnose yet.

01:35:35.000 I feel bad for him.

01:35:36.000 I will stress this all again though, all the Super Chats so far, I'm gonna just make that direct donation to their GoFundMe. 0.88

01:35:43.000 It's GoFundMe, right?

01:35:44.000 I don't know for sure.

01:35:46.000 I think it is.

01:35:46.000 I'll look.

01:35:48.000 If I were to say, give us Super Chats again, YouTube just takes a cut of all that.

01:35:53.000 I don't think that's a good idea.

01:35:54.000 I don't know.

01:35:55.000 It just seems like you guys should give directly to the family.

01:36:00.000 I don't know.

01:36:01.000 It's tough.

01:36:02.000 Maybe we would raise more money if we did it through the show, but then YouTube takes a 35% cut.

01:36:07.000 So there's there's a support for Butler PA victims.

01:36:11.000 Oh, this is not specifically for Cory, but there's two.

01:36:13.000 And the one for the one that seems to be President Trump authorized is up to 4.5 million dollars.

01:36:20.000 There's another.

01:36:21.000 There's someone else in critical, I believe.

01:36:23.000 He was.

01:36:23.000 Well, he's been upgraded from state from critical to stable veteran of the Marine Corps.

01:36:29.000 But he's also in a medically induced coma.

01:36:31.000 Wow.

01:36:32.000 And then you have people on the internet rejoicing in this and saying he shouldn't have missed and that's what you get for going to a Trump rally. 0.64

01:36:38.000 There are sick people out there who get... It's pretty horrifying.

01:36:40.000 It's hard but they've been conditioned, when I say like mental illness, this is like social media conditioning to say awful, awful insidious stuff and you get rewarded with clicks.

01:36:47.000 They've been conditioned to think that them hating other people is a good thing and that it makes them morally superior.

01:36:56.000 All right, Paige Holland says he was shot twice.

01:36:58.000 The first shot, Trump puts his hand on his ear.

01:37:01.000 Second shot, he pulls his arm to his side.

01:37:04.000 Slow the video, you can see what looks like a hole in his jacket.

01:37:06.000 Maybe I'm mistaken.

01:37:07.000 So I interviewed the wall guy earlier today.

01:37:10.000 He was front row.

01:37:11.000 I just ran into him at the convention.

01:37:12.000 Brick suit.

01:37:13.000 Brick suit guy, I'm sorry.

01:37:14.000 Well, yeah, the wall guy.

01:37:16.000 He couldn't, he didn't have any information on that.

01:37:19.000 I've seen the same picture as well, but I haven't heard anything confirming that elsewhere other than...

01:37:24.000 Like a bullet went through his shirt.

01:37:25.000 Like it hit him in the bulletproof... What if it went through the loose part of the jacket?

01:37:29.000 From the image that was circulating, it looked like he might have been wearing a bulletproof vest.

01:37:32.000 I'm sure it was.

01:37:33.000 I'm sure it was, but there's no... You don't think?

01:37:35.000 I mean, what weapon was the guy using?

01:37:37.000 It's a 5.56?

01:37:39.000 Or a 2.23 are the numbers that I've heard.

01:37:41.000 I don't know what they mean, but I heard those numbers.

01:37:43.000 Trump's gonna need some pretty serious body armor.

01:37:47.000 Those are high-velocity maps.

01:37:48.000 We gotta roll the tapes.

01:37:49.000 We gotta go back and ask President Trump directly.

01:37:51.000 Well, so again, I think we would have known that also if it had, like, hit a bulletproof vest type thing like that, but no, we know... Right.

01:37:57.000 Can you imagine it hit his... Like you say, it's like doing a... I'd like to know what caliber of bullet it was.

01:38:05.000 That matters.

01:38:06.000 From what I understand, you'll know this more than me, it was a .223 from an AR-15 type rifle, but I don't know... That's what's been reported, Mike.

01:38:14.000 Okay, I'm pretty sure .223s are high-velocity rounds.

01:38:17.000 I mean, they don't have the same power as a .556.

01:38:20.000 But what- I'm- I- I suppose 223 would make sense.

01:38:23.000 I'm not a gun expert.

01:38:25.000 Y'know?

01:38:25.000 But high velocity rounds are no joke.

01:38:27.000 Like, we've got, um, what are we, uh, 17 Super Mag, I think?

01:38:32.000 They're called 17 Super Mag, that's a fine- that's a fine firearm.

01:38:36.000 It's a high velocity, small round, and it vaporizes critters.

01:38:40.000 Like, into- into a fine mist.

01:38:42.000 Causes cavitation, cause it's high velocity, it creates a vacuum behind it.

01:38:45.000 Just so, Tim, I know nothing about firearms.

01:38:48.000 I know nothing as well.

01:38:48.000 And you say vaporizes critters.

01:38:50.000 You mean like, uh, raccoon-type critters.

01:38:53.000 Right.

01:38:53.000 So, as it was explained to me at the store when I was picking up ammo for my 17 Super Mag, I think that's what it's called, and they're very small, and they said they're small, high-velocity rounds that are intended for, you know, getting rid of, like, dangerous pests in the yard or whatever or in your fields.

01:39:09.000 He's like, but understand, this thing's high velocity, so a mist will emerge, like, it cavitates, it vaporizes them.

01:39:15.000 I was like, really?

01:39:15.000 That sounds brutal!

01:39:17.000 Well, also, once you appreciate that rabies is contracted by inhaling fluids, I mean, you might want to be well away from any animal that you're vaporizing.

01:39:26.000 So, there's a lot of people are saying 2, 2, 3, and 5, 5, 6 are the same.

01:39:29.000 They're not the same.

01:39:30.000 They are interchangeable cartridges.

01:39:33.000 So, I have several 5.56 AR-15s.

01:39:39.000 2.23, I believe, is a lower pressure.

01:39:42.000 Again, I'm not an expert on this.

01:39:44.000 So, you can't put... If a weapon is just 2.23, you can't put a 5.56 in it.

01:39:48.000 If it is a 5.56, you can put a 2.23 in it.

01:39:50.000 But, don't take my advice.

01:39:52.000 Talk to experts, because I don't want to... What is this?

01:39:54.000 5.56 is a different neck dimension for higher pressure.

01:39:57.000 That's what I thought.

01:39:59.000 Yeah.

01:40:01.000 Uh, Morgan says there absolutely is concealable level 4 soft armor.

01:40:06.000 Yeah.

01:40:07.000 Someone mentioned, uh, 17 Hornet.

01:40:09.000 I think that's, yeah, that might be what I have.

01:40:13.000 You know, we just, we just, we just, a lot of people on the left don't understand, I shouldn't say on the left, but liberals, they just think bullets go pew.

01:40:19.000 And I watched like some video, one of the videos of the people criticizing the shooter

01:40:25.000 called when he had a shotgun and miss and I'm just like, you ain't hitting the broad

01:40:30.000 side of a barn from that distance with a shotgun.

01:40:31.000 What are you talking about?

01:40:32.000 Or actually, maybe you'll hit the entirety of it and do nothing.

01:40:36.000 They don't know anything about weapons.

01:40:37.000 They don't know that there's different rounds for different purposes or different guns with

01:40:40.000 with different barrels.

01:40:41.000 Like all of it serves different purposes.

01:40:43.000 They think gun.

01:40:44.000 The funny thing I had yesterday's show, we started with a guy named Lynn Westover, who's

01:40:48.000 a former sniper recon.

01:40:51.000 And he was saying that, you know, although people complain, like, how could he miss the

01:40:54.000 shot that any trained sniper or anyone trained with firearms would be hitting a target of

01:41:00.000 that size from three times the distance.

01:41:02.000 So the fact that he did miss from as short as 1.4, 1.5 football fields, Well, what some people were saying was that he clearly was training on an indoor range because he didn't account for wind.

01:41:14.000 And my understanding is that your average person with a long gun, sighted properly and all that, can make a shot at that distance.

01:41:23.000 However, considering wind, that explanation seems to make sense.

01:41:28.000 It looked like he was aiming for Trump's head, too.

01:41:30.000 He wasn't aiming for a center of mass. 0.99

01:41:33.000 So, I don't know, going for this ridiculous Hollywood freaking shot? 0.99

01:41:39.000 Outrageous. 0.99

01:41:41.000 The whole situation, obviously.

01:41:42.000 All right, Zouavbro says Viva, I clearly missed something you moved to the US with the fam.

01:41:47.000 Yay, countdown to citizenship when?

01:41:49.000 Uh, thus far, temporary, but can't lie that the permanent is in the works.

01:41:55.000 So, Canada's in a very, very, very bad state.

01:41:59.000 It's not getting any better.

01:42:00.000 Obviously, the states have their own problems, but there were lines in the sand in terms of me leaving Quebec.

01:42:07.000 Have you considered just going to, say, Eagle Pass and then walking across the river and requesting asylum?

01:42:11.000 I'll claim asylum. 0.97

01:42:12.000 Depending on what happens, I'll claim asylum because some of my tweets have gotten very mean for Trudeau.

01:42:16.000 We had Ezra Levant on of Rebel News and he was like, I'm from the future.

01:42:20.000 Canada is five years ahead of the U.S.

01:42:22.000 in terms of how bad it is.

01:42:23.000 I'm here to warn you.

01:42:24.000 It is interesting that Canada is always sort of looking down on America and our culture and our politics, but actually they're in chaos.

01:42:32.000 It's in free fall.

01:42:33.000 John Sola says, one of my wife's employees is a victim at the rally.

01:42:36.000 He has had multiple surgeries, has broken rib and a lacerated spleen.

01:42:40.000 His name is David Dutch.

01:42:42.000 Please add this super chat to the donation for the victims.

01:42:46.000 Absolutely, absolutely.

01:42:47.000 I think we'll hear a lot of stories like this.

01:42:49.000 I can't remember the congressman's name, but there was a congressman whose nephew was grazed by a bullet.

01:42:53.000 Ronny Jackson.

01:42:54.000 Ronny Jackson, thank you.

01:42:55.000 And I mean, one of the most impactful things that came out to me within the first couple hours was that the CBS Reporter's interview with the emergency room doctor who rushed the aid of, I believe, the fallen firefighter.

01:43:09.000 It is interesting to see, like, the heroic acts taken in times of crisis.

01:43:13.000 Now, he's, of course, an emergency room physician.

01:43:15.000 He has probably seen a lot of terrible things.

01:43:17.000 But that idea that it was like, I'm going to run to you and offer you aid and support, that's the culture I want to be in.

01:43:24.000 All the prayers for David Dutch.

01:43:26.000 Brecca Bash superchatted $135, saying, 100 to the family, 35 to YouTube.

01:43:31.000 God bless the family.

01:43:33.000 I really do appreciate it.

01:43:35.000 This morning, people asked if we would give all the superchats, and I was like, yeah, absolutely, of course, and we'll try and do some kind of matching thing.

01:43:41.000 And then when we talked about it, it's like, yeah, but you're telling people to donate to you, and then YouTube's taking 35%.

01:43:47.000 So, like, they should just give the money to the family.

01:43:50.000 And we did this with Sound of Freedom, and we matched the donations, but it is kind of... I don't want YouTube to just take... I think people should donate directly to the families, to the GoFundMe, otherwise it just gets muddy.

01:44:03.000 And then I'm worried, like, someone's gonna come and be like, Tim was doing that, and then YouTube was taking the money, and it's hurting the fam... I don't wanna... You just donate to the families, guys.

01:44:10.000 And I'll make the donation too.

01:44:12.000 Divine Beast Dancing Lion says, Lighter note, Mr. President on Steam is getting a massive influx of sales and positive reviews.

01:44:18.000 The game has you play as The Rock to push Ronald Rump out of the way of an assassin's bullet.

01:44:24.000 Wow.

01:44:26.000 Very funny and would recommend if you had time to waste.

01:44:28.000 Limerick Minsist, uh, Tim McDonald, who's that?

01:44:31.000 Oh, Tom McDonald put out a track.

01:44:33.000 Of course.

01:44:34.000 Called You Missed, releasing the song 12 hours after the assassination attempt.

01:44:37.000 That is... I don't, I don't love that, I'm gonna say!

01:44:41.000 You don't love it?

01:44:42.000 I just feel like, you know, I don't know Tom McDonald, but it does feel like this.

01:44:48.000 And I am Canadian, so I can say this.

01:44:49.000 This Canadian guy being like, this is my moment to get a single doesn't feel like the way 0.92

01:44:54.000 I want to rally and unify.

01:44:56.000 It's a cynical reaction, and it's an understandable one.

01:44:59.000 But the flip side, and I'm going to go more in line with this.

01:45:02.000 He's enraged and he has to express it in the way that he can.

01:45:04.000 And it's through his art.

01:45:05.000 And it's cool that art is there for that.

01:45:07.000 And I would not.

01:45:08.000 There are some artists I might impugn the presumed intentions of.

01:45:12.000 I happen to love Tom McDonald so I will not- And I don't have anything against him personally.

01:45:15.000 It's just this moment where I'm like, mm, but... Well, that's the question.

01:45:18.000 It's like, how long do you wait to do these things?

01:45:20.000 But no, I think his intentions are sincere.

01:45:22.000 The artist who made the absolutely gorgeous piece of Trump, it's a painting, I forget his name, Timmy, he's a New York guy.

01:45:31.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

01:45:32.000 He just put out a documentary as well.

01:45:33.000 I'm not going to remember his name.

01:45:35.000 Made a masterpiece of a painting of that moment.

01:45:38.000 Uh, Corto Maltese says the flag didn't invert into the shape of a cross, Tim.

01:45:42.000 Here's a picture of it.

01:45:43.000 Let me pull it up.

01:45:46.000 There you go.

01:45:47.000 I don't know.

01:45:48.000 That looks like a T to me.

01:45:49.000 Maybe he's saying it's a ninja star and not a cross.

01:45:51.000 Sure.

01:45:52.000 I'm just saying.

01:45:53.000 When did that happen, though?

01:45:54.000 Because the photograph... Afterwards.

01:45:55.000 Afterwards.

01:45:56.000 Yeah, the wind blew and then it flipped up onto itself.

01:45:58.000 This was before.

01:45:58.000 Oh, it was before.

01:45:59.000 Twisted and, yeah, before.

01:46:00.000 Oh, okay, before the shooting.

01:46:02.000 Angels watching.

01:46:03.000 People are calling it the angel flag right before.

01:46:05.000 Or it looked like a bird.

01:46:07.000 There is something... There is something also to say about the composure of the crowd during the shooting.

01:46:16.000 You know, I see videos of many shootings online.

01:46:18.000 Everybody's running everywhere.

01:46:20.000 But during this...

01:46:22.000 Trump supporters were very composed.

01:46:24.000 There wasn't as much panic as one would expect.

01:46:28.000 I think, at least, for that.

01:46:30.000 That also struck me when seeing all the footage of this.

01:46:33.000 Prinzi says, WGN interviewed a former Secret Service agent, Tim McCarthy, who said that JFK was the only assassination not committed by a lone gunman.

01:46:42.000 Huh.

01:46:43.000 There was a witness report right away of a second shooter.

01:46:47.000 We tend to get these, don't know what it means, you know, the stuff you get on the scene is usually different how they report it later.

01:46:54.000 You hear the sniper go off too, that's, somebody could perceive that as a second shooter, just, yeah.

01:46:59.000 Well, and I had heard that people thought the gunfire was fireworks, and then afterwards, because there was smoke and stuff, people were like, well, maybe it's to cover up something that's going on.

01:47:06.000 I mean, I'm sure in that situation, it's terrifying.

01:47:09.000 And also from some of the recordings it sounds like they're being fired in pairs and I thought it was, I asked why is the guy firing pop pop pop pop and I was told that that's the pop and the echo so what you're hearing is one shot with an echo.

01:47:20.000 But in RFK's assassination, in Robert F. Kennedy's assassination, I believe there were more than one gunman.

01:47:26.000 If I'm wearing my tinfoil hat.

01:47:27.000 We didn't talk about this that much, but, you know, finally, I mean, Trump called for it this morning.

01:47:32.000 Thomas Massie called for it right away.

01:47:33.000 There's a couple of people who have advocated for RFK Jr.

01:47:35.000 to get Secret Service protection.

01:47:38.000 His dad's assassination is the reason that the government began extending Secret Service protection to major political candidates during the final 120 days before an election.

01:47:47.000 I'm channeling Barnes, Robert Barnes right now.

01:47:50.000 Biden wants his political adversaries to no longer be alive.

01:47:53.000 There's no hiding.

01:47:54.000 Can't beat them any other way, I think.

01:47:56.000 Well, he's been trying.

01:47:57.000 Deny RFK Jr.

01:47:59.000 Secret Service is nothing but hoping it happens.

01:48:02.000 Making Trump, and I've been saying this for a little while, making Trump go into big public areas for his law, his court lawfare stuff.

01:48:09.000 It's just, hey, let's get him as exposed as we can because we want this to happen to him.

01:48:12.000 There's no denying it now.

01:48:14.000 All right.

01:48:15.000 C. Jacob says, long-time TimCast member and listener, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do.

01:48:21.000 Because of you, I wake up every day to be better than I was yesterday and give my kids and wife the best life I can.

01:48:27.000 FJB, Trump 2024.

01:48:29.000 I do appreciate it.

01:48:30.000 Wow, what do you do to do that to people?

01:48:32.000 I tell everyone that the goal is just to be better than you were yesterday.

01:48:35.000 So every day you think about what you can do today that would make you better yesterday.

01:48:39.000 The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.

01:48:43.000 So, you know, if you're asking, how do I get from here to there?

01:48:46.000 It's really simple.

01:48:49.000 Tomorrow you wake up and you do one push-up.

01:48:51.000 One.

01:48:53.000 You can do one push-up.

01:48:53.000 One push-up.

01:48:54.000 It's not even a big deal.

01:48:55.000 You do one.

01:48:55.000 It doesn't matter who you are.

01:48:56.000 That's like my friend who, years ago, when I was trying to start exercising, which I was loathe to ever do, a friend of mine who was doing Pilates and stuff, she was like, just do it for 10 minutes.

01:49:06.000 And even if you don't exercise, even if you just lay on your yoga mat for 10 minutes, that's progress.

01:49:11.000 And I was like, Oh, I can lay on a yoga mat for ten minutes, but after two minutes you feel dumb, so you start doing exercise.

01:49:18.000 You do one push-up.

01:49:18.000 And the next day, you do one push-up again, but maybe you might be like, I could do another one, it's no big deal.

01:49:23.000 Yeah, because then you start feeling better.

01:49:24.000 And then you mark them down.

01:49:26.000 And then after a year, you're like, I gotta do 50.

01:49:29.000 And then you're doing 50.

01:49:30.000 It's actually really easy to be able to increase the amount of push-ups you can do.

01:49:35.000 You know, and it's really easy to lose them, too.

01:49:37.000 That's an important thing.

01:49:39.000 If you get into it and you do 50 push-ups in one go, and then you stop for a while, you'll come back and be like, whoa.

01:49:44.000 Yeah, so you gotta keep it up.

01:49:46.000 Well, now I work out every day.

01:49:47.000 It's gotta be better than you were yesterday.

01:49:49.000 That's the way you do it.

01:49:51.000 Wyatt Caldenberg says, David Dutch, 57, and James Kopenaver, 74.

01:49:55.000 They are invisible.

01:49:56.000 Don't forget them.

01:49:57.000 They are July 13th Fallen Brothers, too.

01:50:00.000 They need help, too.

01:50:01.000 Shout out.

01:50:02.000 Absolutely.

01:50:03.000 Dystopian Lucidity says, prayers for the family of the fallen.

01:50:08.000 Man.

01:50:09.000 Jason Hutchinson says, those boss ladies sure did a bang up job providing security for Trump. 1.00

01:50:14.000 Go Queens. 0.79

01:50:15.000 How many Secret Service agents were female? 1.00

01:50:17.000 Like four?

01:50:17.000 Just too many.

01:50:18.000 That's the only answer.

01:50:19.000 Was it four?

01:50:20.000 It looks like at least four.

01:50:21.000 I mean, you know, it could be more than that.

01:50:24.000 It's hard to see with all the images.

01:50:25.000 I think one of the issues also is the head of the FBI.

01:50:27.000 I forget her name.

01:50:30.000 Sheetal?

01:50:30.000 Kimberly Sheetal?

01:50:31.000 Yes, and the allegation is not, or the accusation is not that she's necessarily a DEI hire, but that she's just corrupt and incompetent. 0.92

01:50:39.000 Now, how she got the position is one thing, but politics has infiltrated. 1.00

01:50:42.000 This is Dan Bongino's take on it.

01:50:44.000 Corrupt, incompetent, and politics has invaded the FBI, and who knows why they were so lax with security.

01:50:52.000 William Kelly says prayers for the Compertor family.

01:50:55.000 Trump 2024, I hope the family has someone who can take legal action for all the influencers defaming their family.

01:51:00.000 I completely agree.

01:51:01.000 And you gotta make sure you assume in Texas, right?

01:51:04.000 1.5 billion.

01:51:05.000 You know what, I said this in the morning and I wanted to say it now for anyone who missed the morning livestream that I did.

01:51:11.000 Corey Compratore exemplifies what every man hopes and wishes they will be if they are ever called to action.

01:51:19.000 Because I know most men have probably wondered to themselves or asked themselves, what would they do if the time came?

01:51:28.000 And nobody knows.

01:51:30.000 You want to believe that you will be the man who will jump in the way of bullets to save your family.

01:51:36.000 And you're scared you might not be.

01:51:38.000 I mean, I shot that line to Dickie Barrett from Mighty Mighty Boss Tones.

01:51:42.000 I'm not a coward.

01:51:42.000 I've just never been tested.

01:51:43.000 I like to think that if I was, I would pass.

01:51:45.000 Think, you know, look at the test and think there, but for the grace go I. I'm not a coward.

01:51:49.000 I'm afraid of what I might find out.

01:51:51.000 And I told this to Dickie when he rejected the mandates, got fired from his job and stood up for all that.

01:51:55.000 I was like, it's funny after, you know, 30 some odd years you were tested and you passed.

01:51:59.000 And so I say for Corey Compertor and his family, he exemplified exactly what every man hopes they could be if they have to.

01:52:08.000 And I don't know for sure, but I know that wherever he is now, he is even here on this earth and on the other side, wherever that may be, he is celebrated because he did what he had to do.

01:52:25.000 And that was his duty.

01:52:26.000 He saved his family.

01:52:27.000 He shielded them from death.

01:52:30.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:52:34.000 Cody McPherson says, shout out to Cory.

01:52:36.000 Every man should aspire to be like Cory.

01:52:37.000 After this weekend, I encourage everyone to read Jack Poso's new book, which I can't type because Google, remember, go to the gym.

01:52:43.000 It is Unhumans. 0.99

01:52:45.000 And, yeah.

01:52:47.000 Yeah, shout out, man.

01:52:49.000 Yeah, I've been reading it.

01:52:50.000 It's actually, it's quite good.

01:52:52.000 It's an enjoyable read as well.

01:52:54.000 SA Federali says, anyone remember how Joe basically had all dogs that were trained to

01:52:58.000 attack and he left them all with Secret Service agents?

01:53:01.000 Or how we all thought that keeping the JFK file secret was to protect the CIA?

01:53:05.000 Maybe it was to protect the Secret Service.

01:53:07.000 Maybe all the Secret Service started quitting after they kept getting bitten by Joe Biden's

01:53:12.000 That was one of the early lies of the administration, too, was that they kept lying about the dogs.

01:53:17.000 And it was a lefty reporter who got up in the press room and asked Jen Psaki, like, you know, how many times has there been attacks by the dogs?

01:53:25.000 And then finally, he was like, what else have you lied about?

01:53:28.000 Maybe after a few bites.

01:53:29.000 If you're lying about the dogs, what else?

01:53:31.000 And by the way, where are those dogs right now?

01:53:33.000 They might not have euthanized them the way Kristi Noem did it, but those dogs are no longer among the living.

01:53:37.000 No, they've been rehomed.

01:53:38.000 They're with family friends, you know?

01:53:39.000 They just like to live on a farm. 0.66

01:53:41.000 I thought I would have to correct that.

01:53:42.000 At least do a correction.

01:53:43.000 Yeah, that dog's, you know, no longer there.

01:53:45.000 Two of them.

01:53:46.000 This happened twice.

01:53:47.000 Michael Deal says Ladder was just purchased by him at Home Depot. 1.00

01:53:51.000 Shut up. 0.99

01:53:51.000 Is that true? 0.99

01:53:52.000 I haven't heard that.

01:53:53.000 No way.

01:53:54.000 He comes walking up with a weapon and a ladder?

01:53:58.000 The picture I saw looked like the ladder was just something propped up against the wall.

01:54:02.000 So I don't know.

01:54:03.000 There's going to be a receipt for that, literally, so we'll wait for that evidence.

01:54:08.000 I was having a conversation about this earlier.

01:54:09.000 others have been calling out individuals who post about the shooter missing.

01:54:12.000 Nurses, PA firefighter, etc. Cancel culture okay now? I don't know how I feel.

01:54:16.000 Morally just against evil? I was having a conversation about this earlier.

01:54:21.000 I don't care to defend people who want to destroy our rights and are

01:54:29.000 attacking us on a daily basis.

01:54:32.000 Oh sorry, I could feel that one, but I'm sorry to interrupt you.

01:54:34.000 I was going to say, if you're a communist, but you also have defended and advocated for free speech across the board, and think that in your utopia, free speech is paramount and you defend rights, then I'm going to defend your right to free speech.

01:54:46.000 If you're a communist who gloats and says, too bad that you got banned, sorry, then I'm going to be like, well, you get the world that you asked for.

01:54:52.000 These people that are cheering for what happened to these individuals, they cheer for censorship.

01:54:57.000 Why would I come out now and be like, oh no, how could you ban them?

01:55:01.000 I'd be like, they got exactly what they've been asking for.

01:55:04.000 They're begging these companies to ban people.

01:55:06.000 The company said, okay, and banned them.

01:55:08.000 Well, okay, I guess. 1.00

01:55:10.000 Well, I'll say nobody's trying to make their stupidity illegal. 1.00

01:55:14.000 And I'm not going to go with it's not cancel culture, but consequence culture. 0.99

01:55:17.000 It is not cancel culture to say when you make statements that are fundamentally incompatible with your job, that you then suffer consequences for it.

01:55:24.000 But they have to be fundamentally incompatible with your job.

01:55:27.000 True.

01:55:27.000 And a nurse who says- Like teachers who do drag shows for toddlers, that's fundamentally- And firefighters and nurses who say they wanted bad things to happen, they should not have that job.

01:55:37.000 Like a pilot saying, I support certain very bad- Plane crashes.

01:55:37.000 Absolutely.

01:55:41.000 Yes.

01:55:42.000 Fired.

01:55:42.000 It's not cancel culture, that is you make statements that you're free to make that are incompatible with your role in your job.

01:55:48.000 And this is the lie.

01:55:50.000 The double standard, the false standard, the left came out and said things like, oh, so you're for cancel culture?

01:55:57.000 And I was like, whoa, hold on there a minute. 0.99

01:55:59.000 I never said you couldn't get banned for being a dick and doing things. 0.95

01:56:03.000 What I'm concerned about is, for one, Twitter 1.0 had incongruous rules between the left and the right. 0.94

01:56:09.000 There was not a single standard of censorship.

01:56:12.000 It was that the left was getting everyone on the right censored and the left could say whatever they wanted.

01:56:16.000 The problem was inequality.

01:56:18.000 So you did not know how to navigate the system.

01:56:22.000 The idea for Cancel Culture, initially, was Sarah Silverman, who I think is atrocious, got fired from a job because ten years prior she did blackface. 0.66

01:56:33.000 That's Cancel Culture. 1.00

01:56:34.000 That's stupid. 1.00

01:56:36.000 If we said, right now, guys, we're kinda over the blackface thing, please don't do it, and she came out and said, oh yeah, and then did it, I'd be like, well I can understand why people got offended by her and fired her, she's coming out now to intentionally insult and berate people. 1.00

01:56:48.000 That's a bit different from, hey we found out you did a joke 10 years ago and everyone thought it was acceptable and now she's losing her job. 0.97

01:56:54.000 Or the race car driver who got dropped from his sponsor because his dad said a racial slur in the 80s.

01:56:59.000 That's cancel culture. 0.99

01:57:00.000 Cancel culture to me was things that were, we are going to take away your job for things that you didn't know were wrong in the first place and you have no opportunity to correct for.

01:57:08.000 What if there are things that, okay, so you said cancel culture is, we're going to take away your job for, you know, things that you didn't know were wrong and you transgressed and you didn't know were wrong. 0.56

01:57:17.000 But like a long time ago.

01:57:19.000 Right.

01:57:20.000 Right.

01:57:20.000 So what if, what if, what about something where you make a statement that you fully believe in and then the people who, you know, are in charge of keeping you hired say, we don't like your statement that you made in your free time, so you should get fired.

01:57:34.000 Yeah, I'm fine with it.

01:57:35.000 So, like, Amy Eileen Hamm put up a billboard in Vancouver, and it said, I heart J.K.

01:57:40.000 Rowling, and she was dragged before the Human Rights Tribunal for transphobia, and she lost her entire... Well, a Human Rights Tribunal is very different.

01:57:47.000 She was dragged before it by the College of Nurses and Midwives. 0.78

01:57:50.000 Right, that's very, very different.

01:57:51.000 This is Canada.

01:57:52.000 This is Canada.

01:57:53.000 So she was, her professional body, basically her union, said, you don't deserve to have a career in nursing anymore, and now she doesn't. 1.00

01:57:59.000 Yes, I get it.

01:58:00.000 A tribunal is very different from, you work for a company, And you are causing negative press and causing damage.

01:58:07.000 And first, I think there's a test of reasonableness.

01:58:11.000 If you're an athlete and you make a statement that is offensive, like Gina Carano, for instance.

01:58:15.000 This is a good example.

01:58:16.000 She said, we don't want to be like it was in Germany, where people are demonizing their neighbors.

01:58:24.000 They did not come out and say, it is offensive to make that statement.

01:58:27.000 They came out and lied about what she said, and said she was accusing people of being Nazis or something.

01:58:32.000 She didn't do that. 0.99

01:58:33.000 She said, we don't want to demonize our neighbors, and they lied.

01:58:37.000 That's a problem.

01:58:38.000 That I do not agree with.

01:58:40.000 If a company came to you, here's how I think it should go.

01:58:43.000 You work for a pizza company.

01:58:45.000 You then go outside and scream something shockingly offensive, costing that company business.

01:58:50.000 The boss comes to you and says, we are losing customers because of what you were doing.

01:58:53.000 I think it's reasonable for me to ask you, please don't do that.

01:58:57.000 It's incompatible with how our business operates, and if we lose money, we can't operate, and other people lose their jobs because of the actions you're taking are offending people.

01:59:05.000 If they then said, I don't care, I can say whatever I want, I have free speech, you're gonna be like, that's true and a fair point, maybe this isn't the right place for you, I have no problem with that.

01:59:13.000 So that's basically what happened to Amy.

01:59:15.000 If you buy a billboard that says, I hired JK Rowling, and you should be allowed to do it, and they went to her and said, People are getting really mad.

01:59:23.000 A billboard is a serious endeavor to make, and it's putting a lot of heat on us.

01:59:28.000 If you want to take serious public action at this level, which will damage us, maybe you should resign.

01:59:35.000 I also don't have a problem with that.

01:59:37.000 The fact that they pulled it before a human rights tribunal is very different.

01:59:40.000 So, you've got to understand the balance of reasonableness between a private employer's rights and cancel culture.

01:59:47.000 Well, it's a hospital.

01:59:47.000 What about Jordan Peterson being dragged before the licensing board?

01:59:51.000 See, that's absurdity.

01:59:52.000 That's insanity.

01:59:53.000 Well, it's absurdity also because the I heart JK Rowling is... First of all, I don't think there's anything offensive about it.

01:59:57.000 She's a women's rights activist. 1.00

01:59:59.000 I mean, let's just say what it is.

02:00:00.000 Even if there's nothing fundamentally offensive about that, but set that aside.

02:00:04.000 There's certainly nothing incompatible with a nurse's obligation and duties. 0.93

02:00:07.000 If she said, I hate filling the ethnic minority and put that up as a sign, As a nurse, I might question her ability to treat people of that ethnic minority, and therefore she can get fired. 0.96

02:00:16.000 But I love J.K.

02:00:17.000 Rowling.

02:00:19.000 Everyone loves Harry Potter, except for me.

02:00:20.000 But even then, it's all about what is reasonable for a private business.

02:00:22.000 What's a hospital in Canada?

02:00:25.000 I don't know if it's a private business.

02:00:27.000 And there's government rules.

02:00:28.000 It's very, very different. 0.99

02:00:30.000 Canada is awful. 0.97

02:00:31.000 They shouldn't be involved in these things. 0.97

02:00:32.000 I'm saying, if I sell pizza and you go outside and scream, pizza's awful, don't buy it, you're fired. 0.98

02:00:37.000 Like, are you nuts? 0.98

02:00:37.000 Sorry. 0.98

02:00:40.000 I run a Domino's and my employees... So if I'm a nurse and I say men aren't women, then obviously I should be fired. 0.96

02:00:47.000 I didn't say that.

02:00:48.000 I said... No, but I would say if you're a nurse and you say children should get gender-affirming care, I'd say yeah, you should be fired. 1.00

02:00:57.000 That's why you don't want to be Canadian anymore. 0.97

02:00:58.000 What I'm saying is there's a reasonableness to if someone gets fired for saying things that are incongruous with the business.

02:01:03.000 Like, if somebody works at Domino's Pizza, but is telling customers and posting online, pizza is disgusting, unhealthy, don't buy it.

02:01:09.000 So who gets to decide?

02:01:10.000 Online activists?

02:01:11.000 The company?

02:01:12.000 HR?

02:01:13.000 I don't understand how this is difficult.

02:01:14.000 If I own a pizza place and you work for me and you say, pizza's gross, don't buy it, get out.

02:01:19.000 I'm trying to sell pizza here, dude.

02:01:21.000 Does everyone have to lose their job because you're driving business away?

02:01:24.000 What if it's, I don't really like tomatoes?

02:01:26.000 See, there's a reasonableness here, right?

02:01:29.000 What's reasonable?

02:01:30.000 So I'm saying... I don't like tomatoes.

02:01:31.000 I don't care.

02:01:32.000 So there have been a lot of online campaigns... And so the difference between cancel culture and someone getting fired for saying things is... And it's like, hey employer, do you know that your employee said this on Facebook?

02:01:32.000 You don't like tomatoes.

02:01:43.000 Right.

02:01:43.000 It's an absurdity to think that no one can get fired for saying things in the public that are detrimental to a business.

02:01:48.000 How do you know they're detrimental?

02:01:50.000 Why would it necessarily be detrimental if someone has a political view?

02:01:53.000 Are you suggesting that there's literally no circumstance where an employee could damage a business and they should be allowed to keep working there forever?

02:01:58.000 I'm playing devil's advocate over here.

02:02:00.000 Right, so I don't understand what you're missing.

02:02:05.000 In some circumstances, it is reasonable to fire a person for damaging your business, and in other, it's cancel culture, because it's not.

02:02:11.000 I actually happen to think you guys are saying the exact same thing, but in a different way. 0.78

02:02:15.000 What's going on in Canada is ridiculous, because it's weaponizing politics. 0.86

02:02:19.000 But the bottom line... 0.75

02:02:21.000 The cancel culture concept has been abused, or the term has been abused, to be diluted from what it was.

02:02:27.000 What it was was pulling up absolutely irrelevant things that were highly politicized, usually exceeding the useful shelf life to be used as a pretext to go after people for political reasons.

02:02:38.000 I'll just put it this way.

02:02:39.000 If someone who worked at Timcast was reaching out to members and telling them to cancel their membership and to stop supporting us, I don't understand why I would have them keep working here.

02:02:48.000 No, that makes sense.

02:02:49.000 Exactly.

02:02:50.000 And so there are certainly things you can say.

02:02:52.000 What if someone at TimCast started advocating for child sex changes?

02:02:55.000 Should we be like, well, I guess that's, you know, we're okay with that.

02:02:58.000 What if it was their own child?

02:03:00.000 Yeah, like I hire someone for transing their kid. 1.00

02:03:03.000 Well, that's more of a difficult position.

02:03:07.000 Well, no, that would involve, the question would be, would that person be taking a public position that I've done this to my kid, therefore?

02:03:07.000 That's not the same.

02:03:14.000 Or versus a purely family decision?

02:03:15.000 Let's do this, because we do have to go to the members show, so we'll carry this conversation over.
