The L.A. Riots have spread across the country, and the police are out in droves. President Trump deploys tactical ICE units to several Democratic Sanctuary Cities and jurisdictions. Meanwhile, the U.S. is evacuating embassies across the Middle East as there are fears that Israel will strike Iran, and then we may be dragged into the conflict.
00:05:57.000The White House confirmed on Wednesday that 330 people have been taken into custody by federal authorities since immigration sweeps began last week in Los Angeles.
00:06:06.000White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt said of those 113 individuals, about a third of the group or about a third of the group had prior criminal convictions.
00:06:16.000Following this, ICE will be deploying tactical agents in Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and Northern Virginia.
00:06:25.000Post-millennial reports, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to deploy special response teams, SRTs, to five urban areas.
00:06:32.000Seattle, Chicago, Philly, New York, North Virginia.
00:06:34.000As chaos is erupting in these Democrat-run cities, an exact timeline for the deployment remains unclear, but the order to stand by has already been issued to all SRT, all special response teams in the affected areas.
00:06:50.000And I think it's going to light up this weekend.
00:06:53.000Curfew is still in place in Los Angeles.
00:06:56.000I heard that they actually made several arrests.
00:06:59.000There were some mass arrests after the curfew was enacted last night.
00:07:03.000And don't forget, we're going to have the No Kings protest this weekend, sponsored, of course, by Christy Walton, which is triggering a boycott from MAGA.
00:07:44.000I still don't think that it'll have the cultural impact as the 2020 did because of the George Floyd riots and because of the fact that, again— I also think that one of it is there was a very, very iconic visual image.
00:08:14.000like the image of what happened to George Floyd was so embedded in people's minds.
00:08:18.000It was such a dress, Whatever you think of what happened, that was a very, very stirring visual image, and that led to a lot of what you saw.
00:08:30.000The knee on the neck, that drove everything, and it went viral.
00:08:33.000But now, it's not really that kind of image.
00:08:36.000It's just the idea of so-called immigrants being kicked out.
00:08:40.000And to that point, it's actually a situation where the images that are coming out, Americans don't like to see foreigners waving foreign flags fighting with our police officers.
00:09:03.000You want to be on the beach by yourself with an American flag?
00:09:06.000Yeah, look, you know, the countries with the least Like, you're going to get literally chopped up in pieces and thrown on a barbecue in Haiti, and Somalia, you know, the local warlord, isn't going to put up with it.
00:09:26.000If you're waving his opposing malicious flag, and they'll do things that are far more terrible to you there than are going to happen here, and that's probably why you won't see anyone testing the limits there.
00:09:47.000I suppose one of the things they do have to worry about is as this goes on and as violence intensifies, they have to worry about some type of police action getting taken too far and then getting clipped and then being shown in a specific way.
00:09:58.000If something goes horribly wrong and somebody does die in the middle of these protests at the hands of law enforcement and it's clipped the way that the left would like to clip these things, which is not to show inciting incidents, only show the aftermath of what happens, that runs the risk of being another visual image that could be very powerful.
00:11:11.000The point that I'm making, though, is when you're in that situation, you have to be right and you can't spread misinformation, like Tim was saying.
00:11:23.000Well, I mean, that's not exactly what I was saying, but it would functionally would probably be about the same.
00:11:36.000Six months later, but by the time you see the retraction, it doesn't matter because the initial story is what is stuck in the minds of the people.
00:11:42.000And it's very hard to get people to change their mind about something once they believe it.
00:11:45.000The first way they hear it is always, as Tim's brought up multiple times about the very fine people hoax, is that when people are showed concrete evidence that what they were told was a lie, they cling on to what they believe even harder because your brain can't handle that a lot of the time.
00:12:00.000You have to kind of come to those conclusions on your own.
00:12:03.000Like if you're ever somebody who's like made some type of journey politically from either the left to the right or even I guess if you're somebody who's gone from the right to the left, I'm sure that that does happen is that you don't get there by your friends necessarily saying, look at this.
00:12:28.000Because several people I know, they all know the talking point.
00:12:34.000And I'm saying right now, there are people that I know, that I've known for a long time, and I'm seeing them post about this.
00:12:41.000And they are intentionally lying as well now.
00:12:44.000Like, it's not just the TV personalities and the prominent liberals in media.
00:12:49.000It's ground-level, grassroots liberal individuals intentionally lying.
00:12:54.000So the narrative now that they're pushing is that there were no riots, that there were people peacefully playing music and dancing, and then Trump called in the National Guard and started shooting people.
00:13:05.000They're omitting the Waymos being torched and burned.
00:13:09.000They're omitting the SUVs getting pelted with rocks and smashed up and sat on fire.
00:13:14.000They're omitting the people taking over the highways.
00:13:17.000They're omitting the far left pelting the federal HQ where ICE was with rocks to stop them from getting out.
00:13:23.000And they're just saying, no, it was just people were dancing.
00:14:32.000If I was on—I mean, maybe the No Kings protests or whatever, the demonstrations are in response to this parade because this parade's been—he's been talking about it.
00:14:42.000I think he was talking about it on the stump last year as well.
00:14:45.000But still, they can't get their message together.
00:14:50.000They don't even know what they're angry about.
00:14:53.000These protests or demonstrations are taking off nationwide, and they're not really sure what they're— Right.
00:15:05.000you know, merge in with the no Kings and they'd be like, Oh, this is just us rising up.
00:15:10.000Against the government enforcing the law that is broadly popular with the American electorate.
00:15:16.000Half of those people are lying and the other half don't understand that what happened is far more complicated than what they're being shown, right?
00:15:23.000So if you're going to go, for instance, over the 4th of July and you're going to go see family, come armed with the videos of the bricks off the bridge and the Waymo's burning and all of the violence that's happened because they will have not seen any of that.
00:15:37.000They didn't pay attention to any of that.
00:15:39.000And if they did, it was in the context of some talking head on the screen telling them, this has been a mostly peaceful and, you know, they're just out there having fun.
00:16:28.000Don't you know that all these illegal immigrants, and then she goes through this list of, they're more likely to clean your toilet and cook your food and do construction, and I was just like, Democrats want slaves.
00:16:40.000She outright says in this video that these people can't vote, they get low pay, they get no benefits.
00:17:04.000He created probably one of the largest slave classes anywhere in the world.
00:17:09.000What he did was brings in millions of non-citizens.
00:17:14.000Has the CBP then give them their hearings for their asylum status and then drops all the cases, creating de facto permanent residency with no rights.
00:17:25.000So now you have people who get paid dirt to work low-skilled jobs, no benefits, no recourse, no unions, no OSHA, none of those protections.
00:17:36.000And that's what the Democrats have been doing.
00:17:37.000They've been desperate for their slaves back.
00:17:39.000I mean, unless you're in California where they want to give you the right to vote and $9.5 billion.
00:18:27.000And then Savannah Hernandez asks this white guy who's blocking the car and she's like, How do you feel about blocking a black woman from going to work?
00:19:14.000The cop out of, oh, you know, I'm going to make my boss rich or et cetera, et cetera.
00:19:19.000If you're going to work and you're focused on that, like, I feel like...
00:19:30.000If you can say, oh, I'm making this other guy rich, then you must be making enough money so that way you have time to think about things like, man, I'm not getting as much as I want to get.
00:19:40.000Well, they think that in the communist revolution that they will be the one who makes the art.
00:20:18.000And that's why the revolution is constant.
00:20:22.000It's because the revolution, as they install the new power base or whatever, it invariably has hierarchy, has all kinds of things that the left just says are bad and stuff.
00:20:34.000And so you have to have a constant revolution because all existing hierarchies will calcify and become oppressive and stuff.
00:20:42.000so there has to be a consistent revolution.
00:20:44.000That's why Cuba had the revolution was ongoing.
00:21:14.000They have to keep telling you, no, no, they're still here, you know, somewhere lurking, ready to bring fascism back.
00:21:21.000Oddly enough, it's the same way that, like, non-profits work, which is that if they actually achieve their goal, they don't need to exist anymore if you're a charity.
00:21:28.000Like, if you're looking to cure some disease, you don't actually benefit from curing the disease because then you're not making any money for the executives anymore.
00:21:38.000I heard a story a long time ago, and I'm going to leave the company out of it, but everybody who knows me knows the name of the company, but a shoe company.
00:21:45.000I met a guy who said he was a mid-level manager, VP, and he quit because they said we're not selling enough shoes because they last too long.
00:21:54.000Is there a way we can make them fall apart faster?
00:21:56.000Can we remove a certain percentage of the material from the sole, perhaps?
00:24:08.000So there may be all this stuff, right, about undocumented immigrants and Trump being harsh on them, but immigrant voters themselves have increasingly liked Donald Trump and have increasingly moved to the right on immigration into the Republican camp.
00:24:21.000Well then, on that, what you're getting at, how immigrant citizens, voters, feel about People in the country illegally.
00:24:29.000Yeah, and this is where it all kind of comes together, Kate Baldwin.
00:24:33.000The net favorable rating, immigrants who are here illegally, among immigrant citizens, again, those registered to vote.
00:24:38.000In 2020, look at this, plus 23 points on the net favorable rating.
00:24:46.000So immigrant citizens have become increasingly unfavorable in their views.
00:24:50.000Of those immigrants who are here illegally.
00:24:53.000So I think it's so important when we're talking about this debate from a political angle to separate those out who are undocumented immigrants versus those who are here legally.
00:25:02.000Wow, it took them only 10 years to figure out that not all immigrants are illegal and that the people who come here legally, they tend to be successful.
00:25:09.000They tend to work really, really hard.
00:25:11.000You know, what's fascinating is when you look at Filipino.
00:25:14.000And Nigerian immigrants to the United States who come here legally, they have very high salaries.
00:25:18.000Hardworking people who did everything right to come to this country, they believe in it.
00:25:21.000Or as Serge was talking about before the show, South African refugees enter the country waving the American flag.
00:25:30.000Actual American citizens living in California wave the Mexican flag.
00:25:34.000It's so weird to me, too, because this is something that felt very, very easy for people to understand, which is that it's not cheap to move to this country.
00:25:42.000It's a difficult process to move to this country.
00:25:44.000having to take a test to understand the ethics of America, its history.
00:25:49.000It's not something you undertake lightly.
00:25:51.000It's something you do because you, So why wouldn't somebody who works that hard, who put that much money, time and effort to come to a new country, want to wave its flag and to not understand the difference between that and someone who comes here without having to do any of that, to not understand why that person would be upset at the guy who's skipping the line is patently insane.
00:26:17.000Nobody outside of the stupidest people on earth would be upset.
00:26:24.000You should see what I do when someone skips the line with me at 7-Eleven.
00:27:26.000And liberals took that clip and then started sharing it like crazy.
00:27:30.000And I couldn't for the life of me understand what about it was controversial.
00:27:32.000I was like, I just decided not to go to a restaurant.
00:27:35.000In their minds, you should just sit down, shut up, and do as you're told, and you'll get what you deserve when you deserve it.
00:27:40.000So when you – I wonder if the real idea was they didn't want to perpetuate the idea that we should not tolerate line jumping and those who break the rules and take out of turn.
00:27:51.000There's a lot of stuff that's in there.
00:27:52.000They don't like the fact that you were assertive enough to say, no, I'm not going to just accept what's going on here.
00:27:57.000I'm going to use the agency that I have to affect my life, which is something that we talked about.
00:28:02.000The left doesn't like to act like they can affect They don't have the ability to make changes in the world.
00:28:58.000It's because the only way to change something like that from happening is to totally remove the – have a revolution in the industry.
00:29:04.000Government should control and make sure these things can't happen, things like that.
00:29:08.000The more you also pick like a completely arbitrary, unachievable goal, the more you just get to kind of make the excuse that nothing changes and that it's always someone else's fault.
00:29:17.000So you push – you kind of kick the can down the road eternally and things never change.
00:29:22.000Yeah, I mean like I said, the – The ability to have agency or the idea that they have agency and they can affect the world they live in, it's bad for them.
00:30:08.000Do what this person did who bet on herself and said, look, I'm worth more money than that.
00:30:13.000You better pay me what I deserve or else I'm going to walk.
00:30:16.000And it seems normal to us, but you have to encourage us because they don't understand it.
00:30:20.000But the way the left works is there will be a movie with a male lead and a female lead, and it'll be like Brie Larson and Robert Downey Jr.
00:30:27.000And Robert Downey Jr. will be given $100 million for his upcoming role, and she'll get seven.
00:30:31.000And then she's going to be like, look at this pay disparity.
00:30:34.000But then when the female lead is like Scarlett Johansson and the male lead is like some unknown dude, there's no – nobody cares.
00:31:08.000They'll champion race a lot, but they really don't care I don't care.
00:31:12.000I'd be willing to bet you that guy taught, Yeah.
00:31:20.000I'd be willing to bet that if you put a surveillance camera on that guy and watch his everyday interactions, he's probably one of the most racist people you end up seeing.
00:31:28.000Or at the very least just riddled with white guilt for everything that he's been told by colleges.
00:34:50.000And if you can't look at something like that, which is weird too because they seem to think of empathy as something on the macro scale.
00:34:57.000You have to be empathetic to an entire group of people.
00:35:00.000Whereas I think maybe the more well-adjusted version is I have empathy for people that I see in my everyday life.
00:35:06.000Or you look at an individual example of something awful that happened to someone and you're like, yes, I can have empathy for this person in this situation.
00:35:13.000But the problem is that is not politically expedient.
00:35:16.000Because it doesn't speak to a larger cause.
00:35:18.000You have to have mass toxic levels of empathy for all people.
00:35:23.000And look, that's not good for politicians.
00:35:26.000And yes, for you or I, we can have empathy, especially when you talk about these examples with the riots or even the stuff going on with ICE where they're going into neighborhoods.
00:35:35.000And then the people in that neighborhood are going to be uniquely affected by that because those are their neighbors, their confidants, their people in their lives that they know on a daily basis.
00:35:44.000But if you go to somebody on the internet, Who doesn't know that person, doesn't know anything about that, but just sees what the large-scale issues are in the country and how it's perceived that immigration plays, illegal immigration plays in those problems.
00:36:10.000From the mirror, Los Angeles is just the start of a big, beautiful civil war.
00:36:15.000I'm sorry, it says, just to start, a big, beautiful civil war is coming to America.
00:36:20.000Peaceful protests are rebellion, Hispanics are illegal, and up is down in Trump's America, says Fleet Street Fox.
00:36:25.000There will be a civil war before this man is through.
00:36:28.000Now, to be fair, this is often an overly snarky, somewhat satirical writer for the Mirror, but this is, while intended to be, I guess, inflammatory, this woman is very much serious in what she's writing.
00:38:07.000And then you have this from Milwaukee Independent from just a week ago.
00:38:12.000MAGA's vision of a second civil war dangerously misreads America's fragmented political geography.
00:38:17.000I would go and say, I don't know what the Milwaukee Independent is, but congratulations to whoever wrote this.
00:38:23.000It is the most ill-informed, by insights, ill-informed article on the issue I've ever read, so much so that it couldn't be AI.
00:38:31.000It would have to be a human being because at least AI would get some basic facts correct.
00:38:35.000But the narrative that's emerging from the LA riots is once again in the media the prospect of a second American civil war.
00:38:42.000I talked to Rudyard Lynch earlier today, as I've mentioned several times now, and he was saying he thinks it will happen in the next few years.
00:38:47.000He doesn't know when, but this may be a component of it.
00:39:22.000It was 5 million if you counted people who returned away at the border.
00:39:27.000Trump's like struggling to get to one and they're all like, get on my level and now everybody's mad.
00:39:32.000It's the Republicans that are actually supposed to be mad right now because he's not reaching deportation levels that he promised everyone.
00:39:38.000It's being exaggerated in the media by means of propaganda.
00:39:43.000But remember, the Democrats nowadays are...
00:39:50.000The Democrat Party is now largely run by progressives and further left, and they're trying to figure out whether or not there's any room for the old school blue dog Democrats.
00:40:03.000That's why Donald Trump, RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, you know, these people are no longer in the Democrat Party because they're no longer the Democrats that you would even have thought of 10 years ago.
00:40:18.000Um, And immigration is one of those ones that's a great kind of litmus test because it is a liberal idea to believe in borders.
00:40:35.000It is not a liberal idea or it is not a progressive idea to believe in borders, right?
00:40:40.000So if somebody claims themselves to be a liberal or a democrat and they don't believe that borders are real and that no human being can be a leader, I think they're also uninformed.
00:40:56.000A lot of people that vote left, they're really uninformed.
00:41:56.000So there's only a handful of any of these groups that actually know, have an ability to articulate why they're there and what they're doing.
00:42:13.000Kind of cloak your bad deeds in some type of moral cause.
00:42:17.000It makes you even more likely for a certain type of person to commit acts like that.
00:42:23.000But also, is there a financial component?
00:42:24.000Are we seeing people getting paid to go out there?
00:42:27.000Is there anything that's being funded?
00:42:28.000Are we getting weapons shipped to these places?
00:42:30.000That's something that there's been video evidence of.
00:42:34.000I don't have any links right this second, but I can find them.
00:42:37.000There were brand new masks being dumped off to people last night.
00:44:30.000If you try and do the pattern, it doesn't work.
00:44:33.000It takes a picture and then it uploads the picture instantly to emails it.
00:44:37.000So I have a bunch of pictures of my face like...
00:44:43.000Because I'm like sitting in bed and I'm like, I sausage finger the pattern, it doesn't work.
00:44:47.000And that takes a picture of me and I'm like, ah!
00:44:49.000I just, I want to reiterate, look, if you're going to a barbecue over the holiday weekend at the end of, you know, the start of next month, bring the videos of what's happening so when your leftist or your liberal aunt starts telling you how it was extremely peaceful that you just, like, look, if you can show me how this is peaceful, I will concede.
00:45:55.000And there's like a woman running and there's explosions behind her and she's like, don't forget to like and subscribe.
00:46:01.000Otherwise, the guy's like, this isn't the end of the world, this is another dip, and I'm buying more right now.
00:46:07.000I'm imagining the aliens that watch Earth, like a nature documentary, are watching all of the weird stuff people are doing with their social media.
00:46:52.000Like, you go to the mall, and then you can see people, I'm sure many people watching have seen this happen, where they stage stuff, and you'll see, like, A person walking really slow.
00:47:47.000I'm not dealing with very smart people here.
00:47:49.000Part of me likes the future for this reason.
00:47:52.000Just like, you know, the idea of someone going in to loot a CVS and then as they're grabbing them, they run out the door, they just get frozen in suspended animation.
00:49:21.000The reason I bring it up is because it's kind of freaky, the idea that a cop could just point something and you click and you're paralyzed.
00:51:47.000generally I was under the impression that black bears would avoid people unless they were like going for garbage.
00:51:57.000I think it's for all bears that you're supposed to make noise so they I had a black bear come to Sheetz near where I was and it freaked out, ran away really fast.
00:54:29.000It's the same logic for short cops, apparently.
00:54:31.000You don't want to have interactions with a short cop because they're always being tested by the taller ones, so they've got a chip on their shoulder.
00:54:56.000They say in northern New Jersey, just a few men stood in the morning sun on Tuesday where dozens used to gather, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:55:02.000Parking lots outside Home Depot across the country that were once teeming with day laborers angling for work are now eerily quiet.
00:55:09.000A stark sign of how the Trump administration's immigration crackdown is reshaping the informal labor market.
00:55:51.000And that means it's going to – this is actually what stops the wealth gap.
00:55:57.000The ultra-wealthy's profit margins go down as they start spreading out what they have to try and cover the cost in the bottom, and it creates a balanced economy.
00:56:04.000But instead, what we have is illegal immigrants come in endlessly.
00:56:09.000This is the thing that I think a lot of the libertarian capitalists don't get.
00:56:12.000There is a near-infinite supply of cheap labor all over the world that we can't compete with.
00:56:18.000And so the Democrats bring these people in, and then Gen Z is just sitting in their parents' basement.
00:56:54.000But it's super important just to get a job that gets you acclimated to going to a place and doing what you're told, even when you don't want to, even though it sucks, even though you're, you know, whatever your problem is that day, you know, whatever it is.
00:57:08.000Once you get acclimated to those kind of things, it makes getting jobs and finding, you know, finding gainful employment easier in the, you know, in the future.
00:57:17.000And I feel like that kind of like the building blocks kind of thought process isn't – isn't really given to kids anymore.
00:57:26.000Like young people don't get the, I had my first job when I was 14 years old.
00:57:39.000They're not even getting their driver's license.
00:57:41.000They're getting their driver's license in lower amounts than every previous generation did.
00:57:47.000Apparently, I guess Stephen Miller was...
00:57:53.000And Biden—so here's the thing about Biden and Trump.
00:57:57.000They say that they were deporting more—I'm sorry, Biden and Obama were deporting more illegal immigrants than Trump is doing right now, and that's technically not correct.
00:58:05.000With Donald Trump shutting down the border, they're going after illegal immigrants in ways that no one's ever done.
00:58:11.000Obviously, if this wasn't the case, the left would not be protesting.
00:58:19.000Biden, I think it was somewhat of a hybrid, but he was actually shuttling in way more people than he was actually deporting.
00:58:26.000And so with Trump shutting down the border, it's actually quite simple.
00:58:30.000If Biden lets one million people cross the border and then tells 300,000 to go back, he's deported 300,000.
00:58:35.000If Trump shuts the border down entirely and then starts going to the interior to deport people, but it's only 10,000, they say, look, he's barely deporting anybody.
00:58:45.000I'm sorry, apparently Stephen Miller didn't like that narrative, so he said, start going to Home Depots.
00:58:51.000I don't know if that's true, but that's what I heard on the news.
00:58:53.000He said, just go to the Home Depots and grab them.
00:58:55.000And then, apparently, that's what they've been doing.
00:58:58.000And so ICE just rolls up to Home Depot and says, hey, who wants to go home?
00:59:03.000So does that mean that Trump doesn't count the turnaways at the border now as deportations?
01:00:23.000I think it's very possible that Americans go rogue and just say, nah, and they go to the border and then you get violence.
01:00:30.000I mean, not that I'm hoping for that, but I...
01:00:40.000Like the idea of shutting down all immigration, I think is perfectly reasonable right now until we can actually start getting significant portions of the illegal immigrants that have come here out of the country.
01:00:52.000I think if Kamala had actually won, Did you guys see the article?
01:00:57.000There's an article that someone came out of study shows that she actually won and Trump stole the election.
01:01:16.000It's a little early, so we don't know where this L.A. riot stuff goes, this ICE riot stuff.
01:01:20.000But I do think that if the Democrats won, it would be – I do have a morbid curiosity about what would have happened had Kamala Harris won.
01:01:33.000Well, the DOJ would be arresting prominent conservative politicians and their lawyers.
01:02:57.000It says, while there's no evidence that President Obama personally directed the killing of children, U.S. drone and airstrikes authorized under his administration did result in civilian and child casualties between 66 and 184 children due to the airstrikes authorized by Barack Obama.
01:03:22.000You can do whatever you want to do if you have favor from certain people.
01:03:25.000Well, yeah, I mean, this actually points to something we talked about yesterday on the show, which is like, you can get away with a lot when the...
01:03:36.000So right now, the things that Donald Trump is doing in California, the things that the federal government is doing in California, they haven't changed the opinion of the American people, and he's not breaking the law.
01:03:50.000So whatever he's doing, he should continue doing it and probably double down because, again, it hasn't changed the opinion of the American people.
01:03:57.000First of all, and second of all, he's not breaking the law at all.
01:04:00.000Even if he were to start pushing, you know, pushing the law.
01:04:06.000As long as he has the American people on his side, it's fine.
01:04:10.000There were so long where the American people weren't plugged into what reality was.
01:04:17.000They were believing what they were being told on the regular news.
01:04:20.0002020 really kind of ripped the mask off so that way people really kind of saw the things that the government does.
01:04:26.000But the reason why the Democrats got away with so much stuff for so long is because they had the American people on their side.
01:04:34.000The American people kind of were still mostly the default Democrat.
01:04:38.000at and that's obviously changed since 2020 and COVID and the summer 11 stuff but as long as You can get away with a lot of stuff, whether it's legal or not.
01:04:49.000I feel like that's one of the reasons.
01:04:50.000One of the phenomenons that I've always noticed is that when there's a Republican in office, especially with Trump, that any government failing is his responsibility.
01:04:59.000But when a Democrat president is in office, if something happens, like under Obama, there was the NSA scandal and then there was Solyndra.
01:05:08.000There was the AP spying scandal and all this stuff.
01:05:10.000But that falls on just the government.
01:05:15.000He's kind of insulated in a way from the public's perception of how that's taken.
01:05:19.000And look, that's all well and good if you want to be lied to.
01:05:23.000But that's the difference between how they're held accountable by the public because anything that goes wrong in Trump's administration is put squarely at his feet.
01:05:33.000Whatever your thoughts are on any presidential candidate, their cabinet, their picks, their party right at that time.
01:05:41.000It's kind of like the whole Republicans pounce, right?
01:05:43.000So when the Democrats do something, the story that the left or the left media, which is the mainstream media, had told and still does to this day, the story that they tell is Republicans noticed.
01:05:58.000Republicans pounce on Democrats for doing this.
01:06:01.000The story isn't what actually happened.
01:06:02.000The story is the reaction that the Republicans are having.
01:06:06.000And so the Republicans are bad for pointing this out or they're bad for saying these things.
01:06:11.000As opposed to actually addressing the story.
01:07:10.000People from other countries that I left are following me and they're bringing criminals.
01:07:15.000they're bringing all types of negative things.
01:07:18.000So people are more in favor with Do you think a lot of it is also like the accusation of being racist for this is just kind of worn off and it just doesn't affect people the way it used to?
01:07:30.000It doesn't affect people because people can see right through it and then you have a lot more people that are online.
01:07:35.000People are able to consume different kind of content.
01:07:38.000Like the stranglehold that the mainstream media had on the people, that's over.
01:07:43.000At one point you could just watch TV and that was your social information.
01:08:21.000And that was a big political awakening for a lot of people and selfishly I'm always like – I understand that it's important to be informed politically because it's going to affect, you know, your life.
01:08:31.000But it feels sad to me when kids who are 18 are worrying about politics.
01:08:35.000I understand that matters, but I'm like, I also feel like you're kind of stripping them of that.
01:08:40.000But I think it's good because kids need to be involved because how old were their founding fathers?
01:09:47.000It means there's a lot of people who are working late at the Pentagon right now, so they're ordering lots of pizza for them, which usually implies war.
01:11:31.000I just can't for the life of me see the benefit to the U.S. for striking Iran.
01:11:37.000Like, I really don't think that they have the capacity to make a nuclear weapon now.
01:11:42.000I do understand that they can spin one up.
01:11:44.000Like once you can enrich uranium, you can enrich it as far as you need to.
01:11:48.000But like, I don't think that there's a big desire for, for to have a nuclear weapon.
01:11:54.000And I think that strategically, There's a lot of people that would look at the situation going on between Trump and Netanyahu and be like, maybe we shouldn't strike the U.S. and then maybe that won't draw the U.S. into it, you know?
01:12:17.000And it's better for Iran that the U S doesn't get involved.
01:12:21.000Like no matter whether you're pro war with Iran or not, like the, the, if the U S gets involved with Iran, Iran is going to get, there's going to be significantly more damage to the Iranian infrastructure and to American, to Iranian lives.
01:12:35.000Then if it's just, uh, So how does the U.S. ramp up pressure, as it say?
01:12:41.000What are the screws that they put to Israel to ramp up the pressure?
01:12:45.000I feel like it's just Donald Trump texting you over and over and over.
01:12:48.000Yeah, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
01:13:05.000This is a woman who worked for the CIA and wrote a book claiming civil war is coming and said, Trump will start a massive international war so that he can run for a third term.
01:13:59.000This is one of the reasons why I used to be, I used to kind of be critical of him when he would, you know, kind of fan the flames of the way the media treat him.
01:14:08.000He'd say things that were purposely inflammatory, but at a certain point it was like, look, it doesn't matter anyways.
01:14:13.000They're going to misinterpret everything you say.
01:14:15.000No human being is that capable of just ignoring it for long enough.
01:14:19.000So just say whatever you want because they're going to misinterpret it anyways.
01:14:22.000Just be honest because like you say, Whatever he says is going to be bad.
01:14:26.000Just be honest and tell everybody what's really going on rather than trying to be their friend and you still get treated like garbage.
01:14:32.000And that's the other thing is that it's very clear that he kind of still pines for the mainstream media's love and affection.
01:14:56.000Well, it matters because when you're looking at the media, that's how public perception is shaped.
01:15:00.000So if you're this evil, hateful, negative person in the media, that's going to affect you trying to actually be the president and run the country.
01:15:07.000It is funny how we always make this joke that if Democrats just figured out if they schmoozed Trump, he'd give them everything.
01:16:03.000The more you compliment Donald Trump, the more he likes you.
01:16:06.000And, you know, something we've said multiple times, if the left weren't so busy hating and being angry and just thought for one second, let's just schmooze this guy, he would have been right on their side.
01:16:18.000You know what's funny is, I think, I'm reminded of Men in Black, the movie, right?
01:17:14.000But I wanted to point out, considering the tensions between Iran and Israel, people don't realize how close you can be to nuclear annihilation.
01:17:36.000He got arrested and charged over his AT&T thing a long time ago.
01:17:39.000But I was told the real reason that they arrested him was because he prank called Pakistan with a fake Indian accent, spoofing the phone number of the Indian governmental building, saying, F you, we're going to nuke you.
01:18:03.000Yeah, because he just, like, and so I had, like, the rumor was he very nearly could have started a nuclear war between India and Pakistan by doing that.
01:18:15.000And there are people that do that kind of stuff all the time.
01:19:54.000So if you like convinced Russia and China to go at it – America's like, look, we don't want anybody to start a nuclear war, but we're perfectly happy to help two other countries start a war with each other.
01:20:19.000Well, my friends, let's jump to probably the most important story of our lives.
01:20:25.000DNC boots David Hogg and another vice chair from their roles.
01:20:29.000The decision comes amid internal strife at the National Committee.
01:20:32.000Now, I'm joking when I say it's the most important, but let's be real.
01:20:34.000The Democratic National Committee, this is another grain of sand in the heap of their collapsing and good luck winning 26 and 28 when you have no ideology, no leaders, and your own party can't even run its own elections properly.
01:21:32.000I feel like he's not allowed to be mad about this.
01:21:35.000No matter what he does, he's going to be wrong.
01:21:37.000If he's mad about this, Olivia Juliana is going to come up and be like, look, you have no right to be angry about this, but you should help me get the men to vote.
01:21:45.000The great thing you championed is what got him out of the way.
01:21:48.000You champion on this gender confusion?
01:23:19.000Okay, so couldn't he have given him free?
01:23:22.000A DNC member filed a complaint claiming the election ballots combined questions improperly, which violated gender parity rules and disadvantaged female candidates.
01:23:41.000So it says, The particular complaint that led to the DNC to vacate the chair combined two separate votes into one, violating internal rules.
01:23:49.000According to the challenge, instead of holding two separate votes, one for a male vice chair and one for a female vice chair, as required by the DNC, the DNC ran a single combined election for both positions.
01:23:59.000Voters were told to select two candidates from a single list regardless of gender.
01:24:03.000So two men were elected, David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta.
01:24:07.000This violated the DNC's gender parity rules, which required the vice chair positions be split evenly.
01:24:13.000It was because you've got to have one of each.
01:24:15.000What if he just turned to him and was like, what is a woman?
01:24:19.000What if David just said, I am a woman?
01:24:21.000I identify as a woman right now for this election.
01:26:00.000After seeing what he did with threatening to primary other Democrats, the Democrats in the DNC who vote are going to be like, I'm not going to be the person who puts that guy in and put my career on the line.
01:27:26.000Just the fact that they have quotas, I mean, obviously it's perfect for the Democrats, but it's just so ridiculous to think that that's the way adults behave in modern America.
01:27:36.000You have to have quotas to make sure that everybody gets their chance at sitting in the seat.
01:27:42.000Tim, I thought you said that the Republicans have their own quotas for stuff like this as well.
01:27:46.000Yeah, I think we actually had Republican...
01:28:14.000No, the Republican National Committee does not have the gender parity rules.
01:28:17.000The structure is each state and U.S. territory is repped by three members, the state chair, a committee man, and a committee woman.
01:28:25.000And then it says there must be one of each to ensure representation by gender, but it's not the same as requiring gender parity in leadership roles, like chairs or vice chairs.
01:31:17.000Well, after a certain amount of time of people communicating with people on the internet that they've never actually met, who's literally just an avatar, how hard is it to believe that they would eventually just go talk to a computer?
01:31:37.000I think as future generations come in and they're less and less social, I think it could absolutely Like, you're talking about, hey, S-I-R-I, or hey, Alexa.
01:31:47.000I don't even want to activate nothing in here.
01:32:17.000But the thing is, I do think that as newer generations get their first smartphones, they're going to be even less connected to the human element.
01:36:33.000We're going to have that uncensored call-in show coming up at 10 p.m., so make sure you don't miss that.
01:36:38.000Well, let's grab your chats for now and see what you guys got going on over on those Rumble Rants.
01:36:44.000Shane H. Wilder, always the first chat, says, When it comes to the riots planned for this weekend, Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated that Texas is a state built on the rule of law and tweeted, Fafo!
01:36:59.000All right, Evan for US, as I may soon be a member of the YAL when it finally goes through, going to be a part of the YAL down here in Texas with Rep.
01:37:50.000LiberateUSA says, Does anyone else agree that if we deport the immigrants en masse, the wages will go up in this country substantially, especially at hard labor jobs like Tyson chicken plants?
01:38:05.000So it's good and bad, but ultimately in the long run I think it's good.
01:38:08.000What ends up happening is – Food prices will likely go up, but the wealthiest will go down.
01:38:25.000I think overall net improvement for economic activity, meaning more working class people can afford to buy things, meaning more trade amongst the working people.
01:39:10.000The Emperor's Champion says, I want more of whatever makes Gavin Newsom and Hassan Piker cry their tears of unfathomable sadness are delicious.
01:39:30.000Brian says, If I were an adversary nation that wanted to keep the U.S. sidelined with internal issues, I might fund and agitate riots and civil war fears.
01:41:44.000Yeah, it's my understanding that the population is not in line with the mullahs and with the government generally, that they want to be more westernized.
01:41:55.000But they're fairly oppressed and limited to what they can say.
01:42:08.000President George H.W. Bush invoked the Insurrection Act and deployed approximately 1,500 Marines from Camp Pendleton to quell the 92 L.A. unrest.
01:42:16.000Colin Powell talked him out of lethal use of force.
01:42:22.000Aaron Stanley says, irony is the fact that California made it to where you can't have high-capacity magazines, and you have to have a button on your AR-15 to press each time you fire a round, so if their militia tries to fight back, they're not going to stand a chance.
01:42:38.000Yeah, they do have weird gun laws in California, but if you understand the gun laws in California, you know that these changes and modifications are extremely temporary.
01:42:49.000Like most people in California, even if they're walking around with their guns in a legal condition, they can be made, you know, to be illegal and a standard rifle fairly easily.
01:44:25.000And then the whole 10 rounds thing, it's like, come on, what are we doing?
01:44:27.000It's a lot of ridiculous stuff, but if I understand correctly, and this isn't from first-hand experience, I haven't spent a lot of time shooting in California, but if I understand correctly, most people have a couple of the legal things and then a whole slew of stuff that they only take out when they go out into the desert to shoot.
01:45:47.000If you're a person that has a normal job working in anything you would consider an office or a machine shop or whatever, how many messages do you think you get today?
01:45:59.000How many likes do you think your stuff gets today?
01:49:08.000Like, half the videos on my Instagram are like, a cat catches, like, a mom not taking care of her child, takes the child, raises the child, and gives it back to the mom.
01:49:18.000And I just know that some Chinese bot farm is just taking all my information as I watch this.
01:50:18.000Surge would have, like right now, these meta AIs.
01:50:21.000The chatbots, they're created by users.
01:50:23.000And some of them have millions of followers that was created by somebody.
01:50:26.000So you're going to log into your Disney or whatever, and there's going to be an account, a user account for, you know, like Surge or whatever.
01:50:33.000Surge is going to make a bunch of movies.
01:50:35.000He's going to, like, these are really good.
01:50:36.000And then people are going to thumbs up them, and the algorithm is going to promote them and say, discover.
01:50:40.000And you're going to be like, what's the latest movie today?
01:50:43.000And it's going to be Star Wars episode 946.
01:50:46.000The Jedi came back for the 57th time and then left again.
01:50:48.000And you're going to be like, that sounds funny.
01:51:44.000Like, when I watch movies, I like watching the...
01:51:50.000When I see a mistake in a movie, I actually enjoy it.
01:51:53.000When I see some type of script error or error or incontinuity, I'm like, look, that was a group of people that made that.
01:52:01.000And the idea that I would then watch an AI movie and then now when you watch the AI clips, Phil, we looked at the one last week where the guys are shooting the AR-15s and their hands aren't even on the trigger.
01:52:15.000And to me, it's more about looking at the vision of a director combined with the work of like a hundred other people between actors and set designers and all that stuff.
01:52:25.000But I do think that there is an argument to be made that as the generations continue, that younger generations won't have that affinity because they didn't grow up with that being the primary source of entertainment.
01:52:34.000So maybe not Gen Z, but Gen Alpha and B. When kids hang out because they're, you know, all the kids today, they love Sabrina Carpenter, so they're all running around outside with their Sabrina Carpenter masks on.
01:53:41.000So imagine if in two years, three years, you can tell the AI, make me a full-fledged JRPG with these mechanics.
01:53:52.000Now, if someone's got a masterful knowledge of the whole lore of Final Fantasy, meaning they know why the games were popular, they know what the characters were like and which characters weren't, and they say, here's a story I want crafted, they'll – People are going to follow him.
01:54:07.000And then he's going to have 10 million followers.
01:54:09.000And everyone's going to be like, I love this character.
01:54:13.000That requires you to care a lot about the canon and know a lot about it too, though, because a lot of people, they just kind of, But if you're going to go to 900 people making different Final Fantasies, that could be with varying levels of understanding of the characters.
01:54:55.000We're already in the attention economy.
01:54:57.000You make money right now by holding the attention of random people.
01:55:00.000That's where most money is – not most, but a lot of money is being derived from.
01:55:04.000Once AI automates most of these white-collar jobs, it's going to be attention economy times 10. Once we start building robots, we've already got – have you seen the automated McDonald's?
01:55:16.000An arm comes and grabs the fries and then makes it all.
01:55:49.000The idea is like, in the Harry Potter universe when you have magic, how could you have a job and why would you need money?
01:55:54.000If you can just snap your wand and make a house appear or something like that.
01:55:59.000And the reality is because so long as some people have skills that other people do not have, there's going to have to be a trade between the individuals and the skills they do and don't have.
01:56:17.000So once we get to the AI world, it's going to be whatever skills you have in that world, no matter how minuscule that skill may be, if someone else can't do it, they're going to trade their skill to you for it and there will be money and there will be exchange.
01:58:27.000Imagine going to an arcade and all the games are free, but you can't win unless you put a quarter in.
01:58:31.000It's like you get to the boss and he's invincible until you put the quarter in.
01:58:34.000It's like the line in Wayne's World when the guy says the trick is you can't get to the next level so the kids keep pumping in quarters.
01:58:44.000There was a game, I can't remember what game it was, might have been Bubsy or something, for Genesis, I think, where the developers couldn't finish it in time, so they just made one, like, in the middle of one of the levels, they made a jump you couldn't possibly complete, so they could ship the game out.
02:00:00.000Your fave Pfister says, I work for a law enforcement distributor and we are now out of stock on any less lethal, non-lethal, or chemical munitions.
02:00:09.000Every manufacturer I've spoken to is out and is now quoting a 180 lead time for new orders.
02:02:43.000It's funny because It's called Barrow, but the name was officially changed to Utqiagvik because, like, 70 people showed up to the town hall meeting to vote, and that's what happens.
02:03:41.000And we were talking to people there and they said before the daily flights, it was like once a year a big ship would come with all of the stuff you needed, like washing machines, dryers or whatever, and they'd all cheer as the boat came in.
02:06:54.000I don't think an attack on Iran serves the U.S. interests beyond what they're saying, which would be, oh, they don't want him to have a nuclear weapon.
02:07:04.000But I don't think that there's any other benefit that the U.S. gets, you know, having— That ain't happening either.
02:07:18.000He'd be even older by the time he started his third term.
02:13:40.000Anyway, I like that Needful Things movie story, but I kind of felt like it was poorly executed.
02:13:45.000Like, it's a really cool concept that the devil is going to give you something that, you know, fucks with you, but the movie was kind of lame.
02:13:50.000Isn't that kind of the case with a lot of Stephen King's movies?
02:14:52.000And then finally his ex-wife shows up.
02:14:54.000Johnny Depp goes insane, puts on the hat, and he's like, I'm a shooter, and then murders his wife, buries her in the yard, and then grows corn from her corpse.
02:15:03.000And then the story is like, he was psychotic the whole time.
02:15:08.000In the short film, same thing happens, and then he goes crazy, tries to murder his wife, but her new husband, like, bashes him in the face with a shovel, killing him.
02:15:21.000The police come, and they're like, he went nuts claiming he was Shooter.
02:15:24.000He must have been crazy the whole time.
02:15:25.000There was no Shooter, or whatever the guy's name.
02:15:28.000And then tried to kill ex-wife, and I saved her, and the cops were like, wow.
02:15:32.000And then the epilogue is, several months later, Shooter sent a letter to the family saying, thank you for dealing with the problem of the man who stole my story.
02:15:38.000So, like, in the actual story, he went insane, but there really was a guy killing his dog and harassing him and, you know, all that shit.
02:16:04.000Do you think that this evacuation in the Middle East of the diplomat families is just posturing ahead of Special Envoy Witkoff's talks with Iran scheduled for this Sunday?
02:16:16.000Kind of a proverbial carrot and stick move?
02:18:03.000I think the Pentagon's getting ready if something happens and something may happen, but I'm not necessarily confident that it will.
02:18:08.000And I don't think that Trump will want them to start it.
02:18:11.000If it's going to be a war and we're going to get involved, I don't think the optics would look good for Israel starting something and then we follow behind them.
02:19:23.000Second question, is there anything you would want the black community to agree on regarding the Civil War?
02:19:30.000Okay, now as far as comparing it to the LA riots, I think it's really crazy because the LA riots, there was a specific thing You're talking about LaTarsha, when she got killed in the Korean store.
02:20:49.000I mean, what we can agree on is that it ended slavery.
02:20:52.000Now, whether we can say Abraham Lincoln did it because he wanted to or it was strategic or whatever, at the end of the day, slavery was over.
02:21:10.000Oh, I mean, listen, if there's a war that happens, I think we can all agree that this is not our war to fight because these are not even American citizens.
02:22:52.000And the extreme violence of the past years.
02:22:54.000What will be the next Rodney King moment?
02:22:56.000Or what will be the next George Floyd?
02:23:00.000Like, with the necessary death to ignite the insane left organized militias, what will be the next Duke Ferdinand moment?
02:23:11.000So it's my sense that there isn't any organized left left, right?
02:23:23.000There's not a reserve of crazy people that are not out there protesting.
02:23:30.000So the idea that there's something that could happen that would activate a reserve of leftists that aren't already out there.
02:23:38.000We'll see what this weekend turns into.
02:23:40.000But I think that we will quickly achieve maximum level of people willing to get out and riot.
02:23:50.000This weekend, unless there's some other catalyst, which you were referring to, and the only thing that I can think of that would be a catalyst to get normies out, and I'm not even sure about this, would be Ice actually murdering some poor migrant.
02:24:07.000That's what I mentioned earlier, right?
02:24:09.000What they have to worry about is if there's any type of violence that happens and somebody ends up dying.
02:24:14.000It's kind of what they were trying to do.
02:24:16.000If you see the image of the child who got tear gas, And they were wrapped in the Mexican flag.
02:24:23.000That's the type of imagery they want to try and inspire people to come out and protest.
02:24:28.000But to your point, I think the reason why I don't feel like we're on that razor's edge is because of the reaction to that very image.
02:24:37.000Like, there wasn't, like, massive outrage, and it didn't go totally viral, and it didn't activate Karen that doesn't pay attention or hasn't really been paying attention since the end of...
02:24:54.000So even that picture of a kid that got chemicals in their face and stuff, the majority of the people that I saw talking about it were like, why the F did you bring kids?
02:25:26.000But I don't know what it is or if there is anything that will get the majority of Americans to that point.
02:25:32.000And a large part of the reason why I feel like that is because in the past five years, there's been just a desensitization by the average people to those.
02:25:46.000Like, ever since George Floyd and all the stuff that came after COVID, there's so many more people that are skeptical of not just narratives that you get from the government, but from the government.
02:25:57.000In totality, people are just like, I don't believe this.
02:26:00.000There's more people that are skeptical of the media.
02:26:02.000There's more people that are skeptical of a lot of things.
02:26:04.000And I feel like it would take significantly more evidence and something that is significantly more dramatic to actually get people to go out into the streets.
02:27:42.000With what Tim has been saying lately, it got me thinking because of the fact that apportionment of Population based off of criminal aliens means that Democrats get more seats in Congress.
02:27:58.000But has anybody really considered what that means on a state level?
02:28:16.000Do you guys think that's why the flashpoints in California, where they have the huge population of illegals, and do you think maybe they're just scared of what that means on every level?
02:28:32.000I think that there's people who are getting paid.
02:28:53.000Plus, a lot of people, Southern California, one concentrated area, they're going to go right there to try to target it.
02:28:59.000And then in the left coast in general, that's why I call it the left coast, it's a bunch of the liberal policies that allow that kind of thing to go on.
02:29:05.000Over in other parts of the country, it kind of gets squashed early.
02:29:11.000Okay, I know for numbers, what I was able to pull up was about 27% is foreign-born, but it's 10-15% is kind of illegal.
02:29:40.000I mean, maybe I should talk to the AG in West Virginia and say, it's time to sue the state of California to the federal government for stealing congressional representation and electoral college votes.
02:29:55.000Or at the very least, what needs to happen is a total census count on illegal immigrants and that much is stripped from their, if it's counted.
02:30:29.000Sort of isolated up in the mountains, and I love my mountains, and I love that my kids are here, and they just gave me a grandbaby, so I've got to stay closed.
