On this week's show, we discuss the latest in the Kamala Harris case, the release of the video of a criminal alien being caught on camera sneaking out of an American embassy, and the far-left terror attack on the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel.
00:02:27.000The video has been released, my friends.
00:02:29.000That judge that helped that criminal alien escape, yeah, they got the video footage and it's been publicly released, which is surprising considering there's a criminal case going on.
00:02:38.000But I don't know how she's actually going to argue she's not guilty because she's on camera sneaking out a criminal alien.
00:02:44.000And so while it's one thing when the government issues a criminal charge, you get a grand jury indictment, we say, you know, innocent until proven guilty unless you have video footage of it that, well— So we'll talk about that.
00:03:01.000There's a lot of news this week, and my friends, I was not here.
00:04:08.000At American Financing, they help homeowners like you every day.
00:04:10.000They use your home's equity and roll that high interest debt into one simple affordable payment, saving homeowners an average of $800 a month.
00:05:17.000Learn about the United States Constitution, the stories in the book of Genesis, the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, or the history of the ancient Christian church with Hillsdale College's free online courses.
00:05:27.000Hillsdale recently launched a new course, Understanding Capitalism, that you should definitely check out.
00:05:31.000In seven lectures, you'll learn about the role of profit and loss, how human nature plays a role in our economic system, why capitalism depends on private property rights, the rule of law, and above all, freedom, and why capitalism is ultimately a system that encourages morality rather than undermines it.
00:05:46.000Go right now to hillsdale.edu slash tim to enroll in this course, Understanding Capitalism.
00:06:11.000So I'm a digital content creator from the North Houston area.
00:06:14.000I started lending my voice to the political space almost 10 years ago now.
00:06:17.000I started to realize the seismic shift taking place in polite society, and I realized that I had an opportunity to actually lend my voice to the cause and do some good in the world.
00:06:25.000So I started, had no idea where to start, but I've been able to build up myself on several platforms, the Damani Felder on X, the Damani Felder on TikTok, Damani Bryant Felder on Facebook, and on YouTube.
00:06:35.000I have a small presence as well, but I'm just here.
00:07:04.000Well, we do what we definitely got to talk about.
00:07:06.000It's gone as Veritas stuff, because I don't know how much you can say just yet, but you put out a video where the Veritas logo was behind you.
00:07:11.000Yeah, I want to dive into all that on your show.
00:07:44.000Despite having been advised of the administrative warrant for the arrest of Flores Ruiz, Judge Dugan escorted Flores Ruiz and his counsel out of the, quote, jury door not open to the public.
00:07:55.000In the video, it appears one federal agent hangs back in the hallway and followed Flores Ruiz onto an elevator.
00:08:07.000So, I don't know, I thought this was interesting because now we're officially in the, we know for a fact she did it territory.
00:08:12.000Allegations at this point are now facts, I suppose.
00:08:16.000She was indicted by a federal grand jury.
00:08:18.000True, and that's why I'm saying I think the video is more important because an indictment is a, hey guys, you know, innocent until proven guilty.
00:08:24.000I think video puts it beyond a reasonable doubt as far as I'm concerned, and we see her actually doing it.
00:08:29.000Her argument is she's immune from prosecution.
00:08:31.000Yeah, that's not true when you break the law.
00:08:33.000I don't think you're immune from prosecution when you're a judge who's – now what's amazing about this too is he was in court on domestic violence charges and the victims, you know –
00:09:02.000What's going on in this country right now?
00:09:44.000So, you know, I think what's happening is institutions have become systemically corrupt, systemically corrupt at all levels, and people say, oh, you know, call Cash, call Pam.
00:09:58.000Like, I'm supposed to call the number one person at the top of the entire pyramid to have any semblance of justice.
00:10:05.000That's how you know the system's really broken.
00:10:08.000When everyone's solution is to do that.
00:10:09.000And I think people need to understand that even if Cash, Pam, or Dan are at the top, they're still looking down at this entire field of corruption.
00:11:11.000And, you know, to me it feels like, you know, Jesse Waters called it Summer of Love 2.0 already because of the amount of violence we've already had.
00:12:00.000And this is the Democrat playbook now.
00:12:03.000They are going to literally use the textbook definition of terrorism, which is the unlawful use of violence to intimidate or harass, typically for political gain.
00:12:21.000They go to bat for so many of the worst in their own side and then wonder why they begin to start hemorrhaging that public support.
00:12:29.000Well, for now, I mean, it feels like, you know, just for people who are wondering where I was that few days, I was actually in L.A. hanging out with Bill Maher.
00:12:38.000Actually just hanging out for a couple hours.
00:12:48.000Then I wake up and we get ready, you know.
00:12:50.000I basically just do nothing for a few hours, get ready, and then in the evening we do the show, and then I immediately fly back and take a whole other day.
00:12:56.000But, you know, talking with him about these things, the one thing that he agreed with me, and I guess the episode's coming out on the weekend, I don't know when, is that the only, you know, I've said this quite a bit, what makes you left or right is not what policies you want, but what you believe is true, to which he agreed.
00:13:11.000And he obviously thinks things that are not true, in my opinion, and I told him that.
00:13:29.000You've got, you know, James, you are the example I use when it comes to media like Wikipedia in fabricating reality to attack someone on ideological grounds.
00:13:40.000And in 10 years, the boomers who are more chill and like, we don't want to fight.
00:13:46.000And they're largely the people who have the view like, ah, no one wants to fight.
00:13:50.000There's not going to be any conflicts.
00:13:51.000The younger generations are like Hassan, watching Hassan Piker, who gets as close as you can to calls for violence without directly telling people to do it.
00:14:00.000And now we can see what happens when that culture and that rhetoric expands.
00:15:07.000It depends on how long it plays out because obviously we know that attention spans are not what they used to be.
00:15:11.000So who knows if what we're talking about today will be what happens tomorrow.
00:15:13.000They're cheering for it and calling for more.
00:15:15.000There's already several prominent thought leaders, whatever you want to call them, on the left who are saying that they're happy with what happened and people should expect more.
00:15:25.000And they're saying as much as they can without telling someone to go and do it.
00:15:31.000So if the attitude is largely of these prominent individuals, ha ha, you see what you get.
00:15:37.000Same thing they said after October 7th.
00:15:39.000And again, I don't care about – the U.S. should not be involved in whatever it is that Israel is involved in.
00:16:08.000That's what the New York Times is worried about.
00:16:11.000They're worried about the success of this movement after that.
00:16:13.000And you have another part of this movement, Unity of Fields, posted on X. And they're one of the groups that is involved with the campus protests, from what I understand.
00:16:22.000And they said the people actually paying the price are Palestinians facing genocide, etc., etc.
00:16:27.000Elias Rodriguez is now a political prisoner.
00:16:29.000And the people defending him the hardest, like us, are also facing repression.
00:16:33.000He literally went out into the street and executed people, one of whom is an American girl from Kansas, And it's in service to what a dispute in a foreign nation about borders?
00:16:45.000Like, what does that have to do with anything?
00:16:48.000And now we have the Intifada globalized on the streets of our nation's capital.
00:17:23.000He's going to keep saying what he wants to say, and I don't mean to single him out, but a lot of people on the left are – there was one guy I guess that Hassan was doing a show with and they were debating.
00:17:33.000But he put out tweets saying, He said something like, the only reason they keep doing this is because you let them, and then he followed up with, it's easy to buy a gun in the United States.
00:18:28.000That's why James Comey had the picture that he posted, right?
00:18:30.000I'm not going to come out and say it, but I understand what the intent could be.
00:18:34.000And I think that's where we're at as a society is the left is going to march up to that line, but then hope that someone is just radicalized enough to essentially do their dirty work for them.
00:19:05.000But that's only because you caught her.
00:19:06.000We caught her, and then we reached out to her office for comment, and then she went out and said almost verbatim what we caught her saying in a restaurant.
00:19:15.000And that was that there are tens of thousands of videos of Jeffrey Epstein with children.
00:19:19.000Little child porn videos, apparently, and all this evidence.
00:19:23.000And as far as I know, the FBI, the DOJ hasn't released anything, right?
00:19:27.000They released some binders a few months back.
00:19:31.000So we've started, O 'Keefe Media started releasing video and images of inside his library, inside his temple, some weird cryptic messages, some strange statues.
00:19:42.000How were you able to get access to this?
00:20:21.000I just wanted to – I don't know if your producer or someone could pull up this affidavit in the show, but this is how much I don't trust the FBI, okay?
00:20:30.000The probable cause, they redacted every single word of the reason they used to raid my newsroom.
00:21:43.000Do they have a metaphorical gun to their heads blocking them from doing this?
00:21:47.000Or are they basically saying behind the scenes, if we went out and told people what we actually thought was going on, it could compromise our investigation.
00:21:54.000Do you think that they should – the FBI or the DOJ should release some materials?
00:22:01.000But the challenge is if there are a bunch of co-conspirators, what can they release that would not give them a legal out if they then say the federal government released information that was prejudicial and now I can't get a fair trial?
00:22:16.000They can't interrupt an active investigation, so forth and so on.
00:22:19.000I honestly don't think that's the case though.
00:23:00.000What if Trump goes to them and says, if we release the Epstein stuff, these nations are going to go against us, and it's going to destroy these trade deals.
00:23:18.000I ask this question all day, every day, in the Panera Bread close to your studio, guy, hey, James O 'Keefe, what did you think about Dan Bongino and Cash, literally, two hours ago, near your facility here?
00:23:31.000I think it's up to the citizens, the citizen journalists, people like yourself as well, to do the reporting.
00:23:48.000James, several years ago, you got that video of the ABC reporter saying that we had the Epstein story, we had it, and that ABC shut it down.
00:24:10.000You know, I just got to say, it's now been, let's just be fair, four months.
00:24:15.000So we got to give them time, I suppose.
00:24:18.000I don't feel good about what Cash and Dan are saying.
00:24:21.000What do you think the probability if Kamala Harris was the president of the United States that someone like me would have been indicted by now?
00:25:21.000But I mean, in America, we believe in this right to a speedy trial, that justice, there's a speed to justice.
00:25:27.000Going back to your original question when you started your show, I think when you believe justice is based upon what people believe versus reality, what is true.
00:25:38.000That's when you risk losing your mind.
00:25:40.000When there's no justice, when there's no equality before the law, when the judge is breaking the law, that's when you start losing your mind.
00:25:50.000And I hope that we're wrong about that.
00:27:48.000And it could be some fat bureaucrat being like...
00:27:55.000What do you think we're capable of doing that you are not?
00:27:57.000Do you think they put everyone in a skiff, a secure compartmentalized information facility, and when they get in the office up there and they show the film of the Zapruder JFK getting shot and they say, you better do what we say?
00:28:10.000I think it's – the way I've explained it is Trump gets elected and then they're like, Mr. President, you have a one o 'clock meeting with the CIA.
00:28:30.000I feel like there's so much frustration from a lot of people on the right because we've known a lot of information for quite some time now.
00:28:39.000We were talking about a new story from six years ago.
00:28:41.000And the fear is the longer this clock is allowed to run out, the greater the likelihood that individuals will not see the justice met it out against them that they should.
00:28:51.000And I think that's why people are so pent up now because, OK, we have a essentially second chance with Trump's second term.
00:28:58.000But then what happens in the aftermath?
00:28:59.000What happens in 2026 if we lose the House or the Senate?
00:29:02.000And that's why we have to do things now, and that's why people are demanding we want answers and we want names as quickly as possible.
00:29:28.000And with a seat of power, they'll claim Trump fabricated evidence and it was all fake and then start arresting people on the right.
00:29:34.000The most important thing then is going to be gutting doge, cutting these schemes to funnel money to various political groups, making sure – deporting illegal immigrants.
00:30:16.000USAID, Marco Rubio testified before the Senate the other day and said that 12 cents of every dollar spent by USAID actually went to the intended recipients.
00:30:30.000I think they were largely using that in the EPA slush fund to help get Democrats elected.
00:30:34.000Plus the U.S. Institutes for Peace, they were taking whatever they had left over in their budget and putting it into an account just for themselves.
00:30:45.000And they had $13 million of taxpayer money in that account.
00:30:48.000And they were using it for flights and whatever else they felt like spending it on.
00:30:52.000So people that join these agencies and go to D.C., do they really – most of them – I mean – They just want to have power.
00:33:32.000And in the Soviet Union, Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote that some would have to decide whether it was even a good idea to have children at all.
00:33:39.000Because you were always put in this position.
00:33:41.000And it's a terrifying, horrible notion.
00:33:44.000And they'll always say to you, Listen.
00:34:00.000And then the sociopaths who don't care about family and think they're smarter, better, and all the other things are like, this is an easy game.
00:34:07.000I think we've just diagnosed the problem pretty well, actually.
00:34:23.000And that's the other issue, too, that I think is fair, that Dan's literally – Dan and Cash came out and said there's no there there on the assassination, and the Epstein I sent this to your producer.
00:34:35.000Do you see this ridiculous clown show?
00:34:50.000So, Cash and Dan, can your audience see this?
00:34:53.000You are looking at, for those of you who aren't familiar with criminal procedure or didn't go to law school, when the FBI executes a search warrant, they have to go to a judge, a federal judge, and they have to get it signed off.
00:35:30.000They didn't redact something on the bottom.
00:35:32.000Go back to page 45. Based on my training and experience, I have learned, among other things, that cell phones are capable of sending and receiving emails like the aforementioned emails.
00:38:37.000I was talking to some friends of mine who are here local to the area, like Matt and Olivia, their names, they run their own show, like Don't Unfriend Me.
00:38:43.000And one of the things that they do is they talk to their local community.
00:38:45.000And they say, what do you think about the Dan Bongino-Cash Patel situation?
00:38:49.000We were talking about this earlier today at lunch.
00:38:51.000And we were talking about we don't know what we don't know.
00:38:56.000If this is what the DOJ is going to do, if this is their idea of transparency, then I'm sorry, but we are at an impasse as far as what the definition of transparency actually is.
00:39:07.000We, the American people, we actually demand answers in real transparency.
00:39:11.000So again, when people say, or if I say, I do not believe that Dan Bongino and Cash Padilla or Pam Bondi are, And they say, why do you think that?
00:40:11.000The lawyers win because actually the more we lose, the January 6th people, everyone, the more the pleadings, the filings, the more they win because they get paid $1,000 an hour.
00:41:03.000But this goes back to the concept of there being no consequence, as of right now, for this blatant lawfare, for this partisanship when it comes to these things.
00:41:11.000I mean, just prime example, you know, swatting has become this new big thing that a lot of people will do to, you know, conservative individuals.
00:41:17.000I myself, you know, my wife and I, we were living in our home, and next thing you know, this is literally Christmas night in 2023.
00:41:23.000We have literally a three-week-old baby, our baby girl.
00:41:26.000And if you all both are watching, I love you very much.
00:41:28.000But we had a knock on the door, and someone had swatted our house.
00:41:32.000Because they know what I do, and I am nowhere near the level that Tim, you, and James are.
00:41:37.000But it happens all the time, but that only happens because there is no fear of consequence.
00:41:42.000And whenever you have that sort of blatant two-tiered justice system, whatever you want to call it, people are going to continue to engage in this behavior because there's never any fear of any sort of retribution whatsoever, even when that retribution is justified.
00:41:54.000I mean, my fear is that in the DOJ we have three people.
00:42:10.000Let's take a look at the initial Epstein stuff, right?
00:42:13.000If we're to believe everything they said, Pam Bondi released this letter where she was like, I instructed the FBI to release the Epstein files and they did not do it.
00:42:22.000And then because of Whistleblower, I found out New York was withholding information on this.
00:42:26.000The question then is, why did we only find out about the videos they have?
00:42:31.000Because of an undercover video from James O 'Keefe.
00:43:46.000I had some reporters tell them, you're giving them – you're letting – you're giving them a way out because then she can go public on the White House and say what – well, I don't know.
00:44:35.000Well, the reason you would say the exact same thing is because she didn't want to reveal anything else, perhaps, other than what had already been revealed.
00:45:07.000So we got undercover people and sleuths around the country just recording, and Eisner is really everywhere, I suppose, both because we have a team of 20 people undercover, but also because we have a citizen army.
00:45:20.000And someone happened to be in that restaurant investigating something else.
00:45:30.000It was in a restaurant in D.C. She was having brunch, the Attorney General, and she disclosed this to a self-described nanny on April 28th.
00:45:40.000This was in a public place where anyone could have heard it.
00:45:43.000Which is literally how you end up with video of it.
00:45:45.000Yeah, and I'm very careful to do these undercover things where people are within earshot, so it's legal if I'm in a two-party consent.
00:45:52.000Now, Washington's one party, so it's different.
00:45:55.000But yeah, people could overhear the conversation, which I thought was newsworthy.
00:45:59.000And we were literally intending to publish it, but then when she went on the White House lawn and said it, we had to rewrite the whole story, obviously.
00:46:09.000You know, if it were me, I'd have just published on the spot.
00:46:12.000You know, that's an interesting point.
00:46:14.000That's the criticism I got by giving her the quote.
00:47:31.000An ethical journalist says, Libby, a source has come to us saying that they are seeking criminal charges against you for stealing a pie off their windowsill.
00:47:40.000And then you respond with a video showing you looking at the windowsill and a different person grabs it and runs.
00:47:49.000They can try to weasel it out, but now they know for a fact it's not true.
00:47:53.000So they'd rather just say, don't get a comment from Libby, accusing her of malfeasance gets us more clicks, and we can claim plausible deniability because we had no idea.
00:48:06.000And the story got out, and it's good that we know this now, and it puts more pressure on them, and it's good that we know what happened behind the scenes.
00:48:12.000We live in a very political, polarized society, and I'm...
00:48:38.000Really, journalism has stopped being just about the non-biased dissemination of the facts.
00:48:44.000And it's more about a strategic sort of chess game.
00:48:47.000It's like, if I do this, someone else is going to do that.
00:48:50.000I think that's where a lot of the frustration comes from, particularly, you know, individuals who are just sitting there at home right now, you know, watching this stream.
00:48:56.000They want answers, but to them it feels like, I have to wait for this to get that, and how long do I have to wait to get the answers that I desperately want to uncover?
00:49:04.000The issue of the tribalism is that it already happened, and it's in the younger generations.
00:49:51.000Rarely do people get red-pilled or have awakenings.
00:49:54.000And so most people, like I said, view the system as a static system where we're constantly trying to convince the other side of why they're right or wrong.
00:50:03.000You're trying to indoctrinate young people to see the world the way you do and the things that you want and believe are true so that when they get older, those views become a part, a fabric of your society.
00:50:15.000The point is, the polarization didn't one day just happen like a bunch of boomers looked at each other and went, hey, I don't like you.
00:50:26.000The boomers are the same as they were in the 90s.
00:50:29.000The issue is that younger people are hyperpolarized.
00:50:33.000In 10 years, the boomers will start passing on, dying, and the younger generation, hyperpolarization, will become a larger percentage of the political climate.
00:50:45.00020 years from now, there will be nothing but hyperpolarization.
00:50:51.000To be fair, there's arguments to either side.
00:50:55.000One is that Gen Z is moving towards Jesus and conservatism.
00:51:00.000However, it's largely among males and the females are not.
00:51:03.000But then the argument I've made is that women, because of their limited time for reproduction, will eventually cave to the demands of men because men don't have those limitations.
00:51:17.000So it may be that this polarization is a blip in the system, and because they don't have children in 20 or 30 years, it's just going to be an overwhelmingly conservative country.
00:51:28.000Well, my question that I feel like I would have is, while there might not be necessarily the red-pilling that many of us are used to or experienced ourselves at some point in time, is there something to be said for the fact that the younger generations are going to be inherently countercultural, that they are going to rebel against whatever they are told is the proper way to think?
00:52:33.000Where he said that they're going to come for your institutions, your schools, and they're going to, you know, But you know what I'm talking about.
00:52:39.000You just can't remember the guy's name?
00:53:36.000this idea of rebellion wasn't a thing.
00:53:38.000I believe the idea of rebellion was intentionally injected into our culture through pop culture for the purpose of...
00:53:50.000So starting either accidentally, but it could be emergent, maybe not communist, but it could be that Industrial Revolution breeds this because we took children away from their parents, put them in institutionalized learning facilities where they are then told their parents are stupid and wrong.
00:54:45.000Sure, but like, isn't that a rebellion?
00:54:48.000I mean, that is looking at your parents and say, but there's not one story of murder in history.
00:54:54.000But there's, what can we say, a tiny fraction, a tiny fraction of rebellion, and the overwhelming majority of human history is, You lived like your parents, then you lived like your grandparents, and then you had kids who lived like you and lived like them for thousands of years.
00:55:10.000In the Middle Ages, people would pass down hats for hundreds of years, and that's why the hat fashion did not change.
00:55:16.000But you also have so much of our literature is about pushing back against norms.
00:55:22.000You know, if you look at older stuff than the industrial revolution as well, like it's in there.
00:58:41.000And even now, Texas A&M University, they've had a fair degree of scandals associated therewith.
00:58:47.000I feel that at that point in my life, I was homeschooled for 12 years.
00:58:51.000I go to A&M, and then all of a sudden, I'm starting to hear this other stuff.
00:58:54.000And I'm grateful my parents raised me with enough wherewithal to not be so pusillanimous that I would just say, I'm just going to say whatever's going to get me a pat on the back.
00:59:15.000Homeschoolers aren't cool or fun to be around.
00:59:18.000Oh, neither were the public school kids.
00:59:21.000No, but I feel like that's the mentality.
00:59:24.000People crave that validation and the social media has become so poisonous because people ascribe a sense of self or sense of value to how many likes they get, which causes them to compromise their own values in pursuit of that fleeting dopamine hit that comes when you get a couple likes on a video.
01:00:00.000She goes to a social setting, environment, maybe it's chess club, maybe it's some like punk, maybe she's playing in a band and she wants to, you know, there's like a talent show or something.
01:00:10.000All the other kids are going to have phones and they're going to be like, what do you mean you're not on flim flam?
01:00:44.000It is fascinating to me how many people are so lacking in the confidence to raise their kids that they say things like, nope, you're wrong.
01:01:47.000One of the best pieces of parenting advice I ever got was from two of my friends in Brooklyn who said, after my son was born, they were like, never play him kids' music.
01:02:33.000So what I think is great, like so interesting about to me about the millennials is so my my little brothers are 12 years younger than me and they're millennials.
01:02:40.000And I'm not I'm whatever, Gen X, I'm Gen X. And so but we were raised by the same parents just at different times in our parents lives.
01:02:50.000And our parents raised us all totally differently based on, you know, where they are.
01:02:56.000You know, I was born when my parents were in their 20s and my brothers were born, I mean, to different iterations of parental families, but when they were in their 30s.
01:03:05.000And it's totally different experience of how they were raised.
01:03:09.000Well, there's studies that have been done about how the modern baby or kids TV shows are deliberately hijacking those young minds at that most impressionable phase.
01:03:19.000My wife and I, we talk about, oh, there's programming that our daughter might want to watch, and it's going to be something old school.
01:03:25.000It's going to be like Little Bear, very non-stimulating stuff.
01:05:03.000Remember when History Channel was good?
01:05:04.000You want them to watch normal things that adults do.
01:05:07.000Because the question is, or the point is this, a child is trying to learn to be a functioning human being in an adult human society.
01:05:16.000Exposing them to things that are only for children that they will never experience later in life means you are building the neurons in their brain, the neural pathways, for something that does not exist functionally.
01:05:26.000So I had a conversation in my 20s with this friend of mine, this woman, and she was saying she hated her job and she didn't know what she wanted to do with her life.
01:05:35.000And I said, what were you doing when you were 13?
01:05:37.000And she was like, I don't know, nothing, hanging out with my friends.
01:06:34.000I mean, you know, you go around with your parents, you look at stuff.
01:06:37.000It's actually the most important thing you can do.
01:06:39.000But what I mean is, today, they're not doing that.
01:06:43.000The parents are handing a tablet to the child and saying, watch Miss Rachel, who sings songs and talks nonsense that the child will never use in their life.
01:06:52.000And so the question is, I should put it this way, a viral video that everybody loves showed a bunch of kids in the 50s talking about post-World War II or something.
01:07:00.000And there's this little boy who's eight years old and he's talking quite like this.
01:07:03.000I think the interesting thing about the politics of Austria is that the current tax rate is driving.
01:07:08.000And all of these people were like, why do these children sound like adults?
01:07:12.000Because there was no children's content.
01:07:15.000The children only knew how to emulate adults, and so they behaved like adults.
01:07:19.000When my son was seven years old, he was obsessed with the Titanic.
01:07:23.000It's like every Titanic documentary, that's what he wanted to watch.
01:09:43.000But he said he sat down for a marathon episode of Rogan's podcast in January.
01:09:50.000He said he and the well-known podcast have had on and off communication since then, adding I can tell you for a fact that he's attending church and that has been a consistent thing.
01:09:59.000What I would say—I don't think it's absolutely true.
01:10:02.000I say that I believe it is possible and probable that Joe Rogan is now attending church regularly because of the people—so I'll put it this way.
01:10:53.000I mean, it started with, you know, I mean, it started for a long time, but you also had the existentialist movement, which became the post-structuralist movement and became the standard of academic intellectuals.
01:11:06.000That pervaded all the academic institutions, all the teaching programs, all of the, you know, leftist political realms.
01:11:13.000I think for someone like Joe, much like for someone like me, It's easy to be an atheist when you're only surrounded by liberals and you don't actually hear logical arguments.
01:11:23.000And for someone like Bill Maher, for instance, he, you know, I think if you talk to a regular run-of-the-mill guy in the street about theology, I don't think he's going to have great answers for you.
01:11:33.000And you're probably going to be like, okay, what you believe doesn't make sense.
01:11:36.000But if you talk to a theologian who's sat through the science, the literature, the religious texts, and then has a cohesive worldview, they can very logically break down.
01:12:41.000Well, there's an interesting intersection between many members of the faith community, myself included, and how much our worldview is tied to that hope of a future.
01:12:53.000If you truly believe that all there is is what we have here on this literally at some point God-forsaken earth.
01:13:00.000Then I can understand why there's so many people who are far radical left who will denounce any notion of there being a higher power.
01:13:08.000So for them, this has to be all there is.
01:14:21.000And we are not—we're lapsed Catholics, and we don't— You should come to my church.
01:14:25.000We don't follow Scripture or anything, but we do understand that the teachings of the church are good, and we're good for us.
01:14:31.000There's just a difference between understanding the logical good that comes from this belief structure and actually believing in the faith, and we don't have that.
01:14:39.000But then it's an issue of like, well, I don't want to go to church.
01:14:42.000For that reason, it feels disingenuous, but at the same time, we really don't want our daughter to grow up influenced by these other lunatics.
01:14:48.000And the other thing, too, is you start—of course you should go, even if you don't believe.
01:14:52.000The Catholic Church is full of opportunities for doubt and for that doubt to be allayed.
01:15:48.000You know, what's funny is that these liberals tried creating this idea that if there was going to be a Christian nation— And it's just literally nothing like that because this country had been a Christian nation before.
01:16:06.000And those values brought it to where it is now, much to the detriment of the Christians who tolerate and allow bad people to do these things.
01:16:16.000And the left has created the Handmaid's Tale.
01:16:36.000Because you, if with any religion you have, you can be an individual who is in a quote unquote extremist.
01:16:41.000People say that, you know, certain religions are the quote unquote religion of peace, but it seems very antithetical to what you see on the news if you're looking at certain stories about, oh, well, what was the common denominator here?
01:16:52.000But it's what's interesting is now with the left, they're trying to create religion as if that is the The thing we should be rallying against.
01:17:03.000And the longer they're allowed to do that, the more, honestly, you're seeing people who are maybe counterculture saying, maybe I should check out what the church is talking about.
01:19:15.000Oh, okay, so if you're out chanting and blocking an ambulance or whatever, and you've got your fist in the air, and you're showing me the tops of the lights of your eyes, okay, that's almost giving me a clue as to what your ideology is.
01:19:27.000It's kind of interesting when you start—I'm not trying to get too conspiratorial, but sometimes you'll see that manifestation of the spiritual life or lack thereof in a person based on how they choose to comport and present themselves.
01:19:39.000I was talking to Jack Posobiec, and I said— You know, the Christian scripture stuff, the resurrection, none of that sways my opinion on things because I don't experience that.
01:22:20.000And there's a 12-minute video online that takes you through some of the examples, and there's a 54-minute long film, and you get to see inside that boardroom.
01:22:29.000You've reported on this extensively at Post Millennial.
01:22:47.000Everyone had questions about why did this happen, how did this happen.
01:22:50.000So there's newly released deposition videos, Tim, from federal court of these board members talking about their conflicts of interest, talking about how they wanted to harm me.
01:23:02.000The actual board meeting video has now been released.
01:23:06.000Where you see people talking about stealing pregnant women's sandwiches.
01:23:09.000The pregnant woman now denies this ever happened.
01:23:13.000I made donors cry because I wouldn't take a photo with them.
01:23:33.000I think I gave that X link to you, but if you go on my X page and scroll down, you can see there's a 12-minute video I posted the other day.
01:26:53.000I love the cringe attempts at claiming that you did anything wrong by using vehicles.
01:26:58.000You've got to listen to it so you can hear what the guy says because it really cuts to what we're – It's this scene of it's audio only, but there it is.
01:27:07.000The beginning of the scene, Barry Hinckley.
01:28:11.000And when you're raising $20 million a year, raising all these millions of dollars to pay lawyers, so I guess this is a crazy story, and you've reported on it extensively at Postmillennial, but now you get to hear it and see it.
01:28:24.000No, I'm looking forward to watching the video.
01:28:25.000What do you think would happen if you pulled up to, like, a big donor who wants to give a million bucks to Veritas, and you pulled up in a busted-up car, and you're wearing crappy clothes, and you want to take them to McDonald's?
01:28:37.000They would not give you a million dollars.
01:28:41.000It was, you know, whatever it was, $6,000 helicopter ride.
01:32:01.000One board member says in this film, The board member, Joe Barton is his name, took off all the personal messages between me and my girlfriend and published them.
01:32:24.000But I also think when you're in a high-pressure environment and you're going after really powerful people, you better make sure your team is unbreakable and has a lot of integrity.
01:32:37.000And I think it's going back to a conversation we had earlier about the FBI, about, you know, What type of person it takes.
01:32:44.000It's hard to find a person who has no price.
01:33:28.000And I think if that's what your motivation is, if that's why you're doing this, you're probably not – you shouldn't be there.
01:33:33.000Well, that's what happened with Trump, too, in that first term was I feel like he threw open his arms and said, anyone who's on Team MAGA, I want you to be a part.
01:33:40.000And he did get burned by more than a few people who were in it for those selfish, self-serving reasons.
01:33:46.000I think we're seeing in the second term he has a little bit more discernment.
01:33:50.000Of course, some people would say maybe he should have even more discernment.
01:33:55.000Someone commented, Patrick, he says, how is what Tim and James just did any different from the guy in the video saying you can't afford this while pointing to his house?
01:34:04.000James and I did not look into the camera and mock you for not being able to afford helicopters and jets.
01:34:10.000That guy was insulting James because James can't afford to live in a mansion like he does.
01:34:17.000I don't care about flying first class or flying jets or any of those things.
01:34:21.000I'm not – and I don't have disdain for people who don't do those things and I don't mock people for not having those things.
01:34:28.000Yeah, I think envy – it's a form of – I mean anyone who says, you look at my mansion, you can't afford it, probably didn't build their business from scratch.
01:34:36.000I remember – One of the famous clips from Real Time with Ben Shapiro when he was on with Malcolm Nance.
01:34:42.000And then Nance said something like, how do you sleep at night?
01:35:27.000And you have to be careful in a media organization because if you're the public figure and you have all these staffers who are helping you – And you're making money and you're the only – you're taking all the risks in your business, right?
01:36:08.000But watching all these right-wingers behave like communists, they created this revolutionaries chat inside the company, and they were just trying to find ways to hurt me.
01:36:18.000Can you talk about the current state of Veritas and how they're doing?
01:36:24.000I guess they're on the verge of bankruptcy.
01:36:50.000It was one of the great ironies of my life to watch people with master's degrees in economics make arguments out of the Communist Manifesto.
01:38:22.000There's a friend of mine I haven't talked to in a few years, and we're pretty good friends, and they're a liberal actor, and he's never said a bad thing about me.
01:38:51.000I think the example of it being more prevalent in the left is wokeness and the cult.
01:38:55.000It certainly exists on the right, but what happened to me with, you know, there's one guy that I skated with for years when I was a teenager, lived at his house briefly, like, he put me up, and then one day he's making up fake stories, and he was using the fact that we used to be friends.
01:39:13.000As a point of credibility to then lie and try and get media attention.
01:39:19.000It's always because they're on the left and they want this path to be like, oh, I can give you exactly what you want because they're evil people.
01:40:09.000Look, I work 14 to 16 hours every single day and some hours on the weekends, and I make a lot of money by doing it.
01:40:19.000And then the leftists demand I pay higher taxes for making more money because the presumption is I'm working the same amount as them and making more money than them, when the reality is I'm working more hours than them, more than double, which creates an exponential growth curve in developing a business and generating revenue.
01:40:38.000It's like that whole thing about, you know, women make some smaller amount on the dollar to men, and it's like, well, there's reasons for that.
01:41:03.000This is Beam Dream, and it's at shopbeam.com.
01:41:07.000I don't usually talk about sleep supplements, unless I know they work, and Beam Dream is one that has become quite popular here at TimCast.
01:41:20.000A couple people here have used it, and I've heard good things, and I've actually been using it quite a bit now myself.
01:41:26.000Before Beam Dream, there'd be nights where myself and the crew would only get five, six hours of sleep, and, oh man, you'd wake up groggy, hit a wall in the afternoon, feel like you're just pushing through the day.
01:41:37.000Since starting Beam Dream, everyone's getting eight to nine hours consistently.
01:41:40.000I can't speak for everybody else in exactly how well it's been going for them.
01:41:43.000What I can say is I have a sleep tracker, and I've been – I've been sleeping better.
01:41:56.000I've been skating better, and I think sleep is a big issue.
01:41:58.000So not just about the hours, but the quality of sleep.
01:45:40.000And so after IRL ends, we will raid Tales from the Inverted World.
01:45:44.000So for those that are kind of burned out on all the news and politics, and you want to talk about Sasquatch, aliens, and interdimensional beings, there will be a chill.
01:50:46.000Didn't Veritas pull the legal counsel for some of the guys?
01:50:49.000Yeah, they pulled when the FBI – like when they fired me from Project Veritas, I still had to pay their legal bills while they were – What do you mean?
01:51:30.000And I'm happy to accept that responsibility.
01:51:33.000What I don't accept is communist behavior, like what you're describing in the comments section.
01:51:39.000And envy and resentment towards me because you didn't endure what I had to endure.
01:51:45.000You didn't go through what I went through, getting sued, jury trials, sleeping on a couch, raising $100 from nothing, starting in my dad's garage, three years federal probation.
01:52:55.000Man, you know, I don't want to say too much because we settle all of these and so there's orders on them.
01:53:03.000But one of the hardest things about running a company is when you have employees who basically will burn down a building, take no responsibility, and then run.
01:53:17.000And you're left standing over the smoldering ashes.
01:53:55.000Mythos says Hamas Piker did call for the assassination of a U.S. senator directly.
01:54:00.000Well, to be fair, he even got suspended for it, so I concede that point.
01:54:04.000My point this morning about the assassination was that people were claiming Hassan was responsible for this guy taking this action.
01:54:13.000I don't like this stochastic terrorism argument they throw at everybody.
01:54:17.000So while I don't like Hassan's argument and I don't think he's a good person, I think he's disingenuous, I don't like hearing someone else is responsible because they had a bad opinion on the internet that may have driven someone to a point of extremism or something like that.
01:54:32.000Hassan did say that about the senator.
01:54:34.000Okay, I'll give you that one for sure.
01:55:09.000St. Miles says, what are the Fed prosecutors going to do about the second judge confronting the agents?
01:55:14.000I don't think that rose to the level of impropriety, I guess, or illegal activity.
01:55:22.000Misfit Brad says, maybe a collapse of our elite class would require the smartest of the mid-class to step into those roles, leaving the lazy and dumb to step into maintain the structure.
01:55:57.000And whatever this is that comes together was the nexus for creating this organization, and they thought they could pull the nucleus from it.
01:57:26.000In an institution where you're going after the most powerful people in the world, that reveals the true darker nature inside of people.
01:57:33.000That really separates the men from the boys.
01:57:35.000When the FBI comes a-knocking, when they start suing you, you can really tell the difference between someone who has integrity and character and weak.
01:57:44.000And I've seen weak men – I don't know if there's a difference between weakness and evil because weakness makes men do things they don't want to do.
01:58:56.000Or I didn't even say Europe, just magic Hitler.
01:58:58.000But she should do one where it's magic Stalin, where one of the magic nations colludes with governments.
01:59:05.000To develop technology that can suppress or deflect magic spells because they believe no one should be able to have magic because it puts them above and they're oppressors.
01:59:13.000Oh yeah, it'd be like that Vonnegut Harrison Bergeron?
01:59:18.000The idea being that you get a new villain who believes that people with magic powers oppress those without.
01:59:23.000And so they conspire with governments of the muggle world to go to war and oppress and strip the powers away from magic people.
01:59:31.000I think of Harrison Bergeron every day because I'll be sitting there writing and my cat will come over and start meowing and I'll be like, stop erasing my thoughts.
02:00:09.000I used to know only useless stuff about plays and theater and, like, what different kinds of lights were called and, like, what happens in the seagull.
02:00:17.000And now I know a lot of useless stuff about politics.
02:00:59.000A magnetar is a magnetic star or something?
02:01:02.000Every 6,500 years, there's a pole shift and it destroys civilization.
02:01:06.000The planet tilts and moves in a different direction.
02:01:09.000Here's what I think is possible, though.
02:01:12.000You ever see that thing they do in space where they take the T-shaped tool and they spin it and then it periodically will flip the other direction?
02:01:20.000Or I'm talking about my ass, and I have no idea.
02:01:21.000I'm not a scientist, and I have no idea.
02:01:24.000But there are a lot of people that believe the poles are shifting now, and there are several news reports, even CNN reported it, the poles have shifted.
02:01:47.000There are—the Adam and Eve theorists believe that we're on the verge of a cataclysmic pole shift where the poles will flip, but in the process the planet will twist and tilt down.
02:01:58.000And South America on the globe like this will be like this along the equator going around.
02:02:05.000The South Pole becomes at the equator.
02:02:10.000The—like Florida will be—Canada will— I think, what happens?
