Daniel Penney pleads not guilty to a charge of manslaughter in the death of a homeless man who was allegedly choked to death by him on a train in New York City. Meanwhile, vigilantes have been showing up in droves to defend homeowners from squatters who were squatting in their home.
00:00:20.000When the police showed up, not only did they actively try to defend the squatters, even though the squatters had no evidence they lived there, they ended up arresting the homeowner.
00:00:29.000We got breaking news today that vigilantes show up to just talk to these guys.
00:00:51.000Daniel Penney in New York has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter, and ABC News describes him as the man who choked a homeless man to death, instead of the Good Samaritan who saved people's lives on a train in New York City.
00:01:14.000When we went to New York to check out the billboards we put up in Times Square, that morning, someone walked up to some random woman and just macheted her in the back.
00:01:22.000And now this guy, Penny, is facing prison.
00:01:25.000Because this is what you get in a narco-tyranny.
00:01:27.000But what you also get is the rise of vigilantes.
00:01:30.000So we actually have several stories emerging about vigilante groups popping up.
00:01:48.000The other big story we have is this viral video we mentioned the other day, where you've got this guy, I believe he's a Venezuelan individual, explaining to criminal aliens how to squat and take over homes.
00:02:02.000You've got a judge ruling that illegal immigrant criminal aliens are allowed to bear arms.
00:02:07.000And now you've got the Libertarian Party of Louisiana putting out a tweet saying, undocumented or otherwise, you should have guns.
00:02:49.000Casper Coffee, and when you buy Casper, you're also supporting our physical location, which is currently getting set up.
00:02:54.000We're waiting on the permits, but it should be done in a couple of months, and we're going to be doing our live, members-only, private events, live audience, in Martinsburg, West Virginia, at our Casper location once a month, once we get things going, so we can use your support.
00:03:08.000But also, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member to support our show directly, because the show is made possible thanks in part to viewers like you.
00:03:16.000You'll also get access to our Discord server to hang out with like-minded individuals, and that is the most important part.
00:03:20.000We need you to help build community, to organize, to get informed, and talk with people.
00:03:25.000And you may find that some of these people live near you, and you'll make new friends.
00:03:47.000Clint Russell, host of Liberty Lockdown, co-host of Tower Gang, which you should not watch, running for vice president of the United States of America and the Libertarian Party.
00:05:11.000Oh, and Tim, by the way, thanks for using your perception to identify these traps, these crazy things like the slashing and the hurting and the destruction, because it's like we're navigating this world and you're very aware of these problems.
00:05:22.000The problem is that the problems are moving.
00:05:25.000So it's like you can say the traps there, but like we've still got to learn how to we can't sit still is basically what I'm saying.
00:05:58.000Vigilantes show up to evict squatters at Queens Home, where owner was arrested, as neighbors reveal three people have been living there for free and carrying out work inside.
00:06:09.000And the update from the Postmillennial?
00:06:10.000Two squatters vacate Queens Home after national backlash.
00:07:36.000What's going to start happening now more than ever, especially with what we're seeing with the Daniel Penney case and Daniel Perry in Texas, and now we've got a bunch of other stories I can pull up from the past couple of weeks of vigilante action in New York City.
00:07:50.000It is the rise of vigilantism because of the crime spike and because of bail reform.
00:07:55.000I mean, I didn't even mention this in the opening of the show, but Anna Kasparian says If being on the left means supporting bail reform, which lets murderers out of jail, then she's not on the left anymore.
00:08:04.000And Cenk's like, no, no, no, it's not true.
00:08:06.000And she's like, well, I don't know, because they let out murderers in New York.
00:08:36.000These squatters will wake up in the middle of the night with a tap on their shoulder, and as soon as they open their eyes, there's gonna be two or three guys in ski masks, and one guy's just gonna rain a crowbar down on his kneecap.
00:08:47.000And then the squatter's gonna scream, and they're gonna say, you've been warned, and they're gonna leave.
00:08:51.000And when the cops show up, if they show up, the neighbors are all gonna say, we didn't see anything.
00:08:56.000That's where we're heading because of the laws they're passing, because the police are defending the criminals, and now you've got this crazy story, which we'll get into as well in a minute, of the illegal immigrant criminal alien saying, here's how you steal homes from people in America, land invasion.
00:09:10.000That one's particularly disturbing because of the way he was saying it, in my opinion.
00:10:04.000All these flash mob burglaries and robberies that we're seeing would not happen if the mafia still existed the way it did, you know, back in the day.
00:10:16.000At least the narrative we think we know about the mafia.
00:10:20.000When a couple local guys show up to your little grocery store and they say, it's time to pay us our protection money.
00:10:25.000And that's viewed so negatively in like movie tropes.
00:10:29.000It's like, oh no, they're shaking me down.
00:10:30.000And if you don't pay, they smash things up.
00:10:32.000I tell you this, I wouldn't want to live that way.
00:10:35.000I don't know if anybody would want to live that way.
00:10:37.000You want to live in a world where when someone comes and threatens your business, the cops are there in a moment's notice and they deal with it.
00:10:43.000And we have the right to defend ourselves while we're waiting for them.
00:10:46.000Like that guy in New York, they're trying to kill him, the bodega owner, and then when he wrestles the knife away and stabs back, they lock him up.
00:10:54.000But my point real quick, if we still lived in that world where the mob guys came down Went to this bodega, went to this department store and said, pay us our protection money.
00:11:07.000These roving bands of criminal gangs wouldn't exist.
00:11:11.000The moment any one group of kids or young men or whatever went to rob a store, they'd wake up in the middle of the night, there'd be two guys in ski masks, they'd tap them on the shoulder, and there'd be a crack with a crowbar in their kneecap, and they'd say, you won't steal from us!
00:11:26.000See, the organized crime wants to keep everything in line so they can keep the money flowing.
00:11:30.000These roving gangs are destroying the system all around them.
00:11:51.000The capital is completely under siege, basically.
00:11:55.000You have government officials resigning because they can't maintain any control over the population.
00:12:00.000But the thing with the squatters, and we've seen this in a couple of places, we've seen it in L.A., we've seen it in Atlanta, Philadelphia, we've seen this You know, across the board, squatters break into a house in Florida and they just live there.
00:12:12.000And when the person gets back, they have absolutely no rights to their own property.
00:12:16.000I find that, as a property owner, albeit a recent one, really terrifying.
00:12:20.000Like, I don't want people in my house.
00:12:24.000But what everyone keeps saying is you just have to use the law as the law stands, which would be if you find a squatter in your house, You draft up a work agreement for the squatter.
00:12:35.000You then sign a lease for your friend.
00:12:37.000And then your friend calls the cops and says, the guy who works here evicted me illegally.
00:12:42.000And then what happens is the squatter becomes a worker for you.
00:12:44.000And you can say, yeah, look, I have a work arrangement with him.
00:13:01.000That's the thing people forget when they call the police.
00:13:04.000I remember this Australian woman who was shot to death by police I think in Chicago a couple of years ago when she called police because she thought someone was breaking into the house and then the police showed up and they shot her to death.
00:13:14.000But like that's what everyone forgets.
00:13:16.000When you call police they don't know who the good guy and the bad guy is.
00:13:19.000They just know that there's some people and there's a situation and they're there to protect themselves for the most part.
00:13:24.000And so they look at everybody like they're a criminal.
00:13:26.000This is like, you know how they talk about, you know, have the conversation with your kids about the cops?
00:13:30.000That's the conversation I had with my kid about the cops.
00:13:32.000Don't call the cops unless you're prepared to get shot by the cops.
00:13:36.000I think the mistake is in perceiving the state and the mafia to be significantly different.
00:13:42.000What is the same sort of extortion fee that you pay to the mafia to lend your business protection?
00:13:49.000You pay property taxes, you pay local taxes.
00:14:56.000The lowest level monopoly on violence is preferable to the highest level for sure, which is why I lean towards Texas when it comes to the border dispute versus the feds who have completely abdicated their duty.
00:15:06.000I'm trying to wrap my mind around property rights and the evolution of property rights in the United States.
00:15:10.000I imagine when we first, this country began, it was like, get off my lawn!
00:15:14.000I mean, it was just like, shoot first, don't ask questions, basically, when there was like the frontier.
00:15:19.000You know, there were, the property rights were, I have a gun, basically.
00:15:21.000So when did it, how did it evolve until like...
00:15:23.000I'm safe now because my property is protected by the government.
00:15:26.000I think it's a cultural framework. But yeah, I mean, Lockean property rights is kind of where
00:15:32.000the concept comes from. America was obviously very special.
00:15:35.000I think this is what people really need to understand is that what made America the wealthiest
00:15:40.000country on earth, primarily, above everything else, above our military might and everything
00:15:44.000else, was the fact that we honored property rights.
00:15:47.000And when you are an investor, which I was a money manager for, you know, 15 years, the biggest thing you're looking for is, obviously, above and beyond return on investment, is security of your investment.
00:15:58.000And if you don't have that, you're not going to deploy any capital.
00:16:16.000If you don't have a clean chain of title and enforcement of property rights, you do not have your wealth.
00:16:21.000It is the end of the capitalist model.
00:16:24.000So we have no choice right now but to start seeking out a plan B secondary coffee distributor?
00:16:30.000Casbrew is our distributors based in just out not in New York City, kind of maybe like an hour outside or around the in the metro but in the suburbs in a very moderate area.
00:16:46.000But we have- that doesn't even mean anything.
00:16:49.000At any moment, New York has stated they will seize the assets of any business that dare oppose them.
00:16:54.000And so, you know, I'm talking with the team and I'm like, do we just say it's gonna be fine, nothing's gonna happen, and then one day Casper is shut down?
00:17:04.000And we're on a one-year hiatus where we have no coffee production?
00:17:08.000Or do we start looking for Reserve distributors who can pick up our formulas and start, you know, helping distribute our product for us in the event that New York makes this move, which I got to be honest.
00:17:20.000It's not even about I don't think that New York goes to our coffee company.
00:17:25.000It's like it's a lottery tickets chance.
00:17:27.000What I think happens is New York passes a law which puts a boot down on all of the businesses and then creates a very serious problem.
00:17:34.000You look at what they're already doing.
00:17:36.000They might put a morality bill or something.
00:18:20.000If you don't have loyalty to the state... What's happening with crime and with property is exactly what Solzhenitsyn wrote about.
00:18:25.000And so the issue now with New York is the state has decided, arbitrarily, they can take from whoever they want, they can do whatever they want, there are no rules, nothing applies to them.
00:18:34.000I hope Trump gets elected and I hope Trump sends in the feds and just occupies New York.
00:18:40.000Well, I can't go with that direction because I'm still a states' rights guy, and I think that New York has every right to deteriorate right before our eyes.
00:19:40.000If the federal government cannot enforce the Constitution, then there is no United States.
00:19:44.000So would it be like they'd reduce funding to New York or something?
00:19:47.000They would strip funding, but I think they need to go one step further.
00:19:50.000I think, I hope Trump gets elected and he appoints someone, maybe Kash Patel to AG, and then they immediately begin all the criminal probes and inquiries into Letitia James and Garan, for instance.
00:20:02.000Letitia James' donation history, all of that stuff.
00:20:05.000And at the very least, there should be tons of civil rights lawsuits brought against her and all these other officials in New York City and state.
00:20:11.000Kathy Hochul, for instance, bringing in National Guard, while in New York, the big story that Anna Kasparian is going off about, and I completely agree with her, is they found people living in a home with dismembered body parts, and they say, we're not going to put them in jail.
00:20:48.000Because they drummed up all of these sex things against him that were basically fake sex things.
00:20:56.000And then as soon as they pushed him out of office and got Kathy Hochul in there, they dropped all the charges.
00:21:02.000Can I circle back to your point earlier?
00:21:06.000The real question of our time, honestly, and it's a big one, is have we become so different as a people, culturally and otherwise, that we can still coexist?
00:21:16.000And do you want to use the federal government to bring these people to heel?
00:21:20.000Because the reality is that many people in California and New York do not share my values or our values when it comes to upholding the Bill of Rights.
00:21:27.000I'm not interested in going to war with those people.
00:21:31.000So, the thing I disagree with you on is, I believe America is a country, I believe America exists.
00:21:35.000I believe that we have a constitution laid forth by our founding fathers, and a great nation was built before our very eyes by many people who decided to plant trees whose shade they knew they would never sit beneath.
00:21:46.000Now you have communists stripping people of their rights, destroying this country, and it is imperative this country protects itself.
00:23:35.000A lot of people in America, and yes, that includes on the left, feel exactly like Anna Kasparian in this mega rant.
00:23:40.000How does it make sense that you have the National Guard searching old ladies in the subway, but the four arrested for dismembering two people get released automatically without bail?
00:24:42.000We've got viral videos all over Twitter right now of mobs of men beating other people in the street, and they're like, look at these flash mobs, like the violence is getting crazy, and the left and the press and the Democrats ignore all of it because they do want the breakdown.
00:24:57.000And Cenk, desperate to maintain his position among his viewers, refuses to admit it, while Anna actually looks into it and says it's really happening.
00:25:06.000And I'll give another shout out to Anna Kasparian, When she looked into the Kyle Rittenhouse thing and goes, I was wrong about that.
00:25:33.000Okay, let me give you the details of the actual case, okay?
00:25:36.000So four people were arrested in New York after body parts were found in Long Island, okay, dismembered body parts.
00:25:42.000The victims were two people from Yonkers, older individuals.
00:25:47.000So Folk County Police say 44-year-old Stephen Brown, 38-year-old Jeffrey Mackey, 40-year-old Amanda Wallace, and 33-year-old Alexis Nieves were charged with concealment of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and hindering prosecution.
00:26:06.000They have not been charged with murder.
00:26:08.000Prosecutors told a judge there was so much blood in the pipes, in pipes, sink, shower, and toilet of the Railroad Avenue home in Amityville, where the suspects were arrested that it was deemed uninhabitable.
00:26:23.000Police said they confiscated meat cleavers, butcher knives, flesh, and body parts.
00:26:30.000Attorneys for Brown and Mackey admitted that their clients lived in that home where the body parts and all that blood was found.
00:26:38.000But denied chopping up the 59-year-old woman and 53-year-old man whose last known address was in Yonkers.
00:26:46.000Wallace also lived with Brown and Mackey in Amityville.
00:26:49.000Police said that Knives is homeless, okay.
00:28:05.000And then they said, oh, it's not for, it's only for nonviolent crimes.
00:28:08.000And then you'd see some guy get released with no bail and go back and kill his girlfriend who was arrested for harassing in the first place.
00:28:16.000Did Cenk sleep through all of 2020 when there was mobs in the streets shouting to abolish the police?
00:28:22.000He was initially defending the far left, later came out and was critical of violence and riots, probably when he decided he wanted to run for president and needed moderate support.
00:28:31.000Now that he's not anymore, no one on the left signed up for this.
00:28:34.000I'm so sick of hearing that, because it is quite literally only the left that is advocating for these laws.
00:28:40.000Yeah, the way he said that, no one signed up for this, is kind of, um, it's like if you give someone power, they tell you, it's going to be okay, it's going to be okay, it's going to be okay.
00:28:48.000For years, and you're like, I just don't think it is.
00:29:18.000They usually pivot all the way to that.
00:29:19.000But fortunately, Cenk's not that far gone.
00:29:21.000But sorry to interrupt what you were saying.
00:29:23.000Oh, no, I think that there is one aspect of what Cenk is saying is true, in that no one elected these DAs that Soros funded and kind of pushed forward to implement.
00:29:59.000And we had the New York City Police Commissioner come out a year, two years ago, saying that we need to end bail reform because it's doing really badly.
00:30:07.000Illinois ended cash bail like three years ago.
00:30:14.000They go back and wreak more havoc on society.
00:30:16.000And then you have Peter Navarro in prison while he's waiting for an appeal in his contempt of Congress charge for not complying with the January 6th Committee subpoena.
00:30:34.000He doesn't get bail, but all these people do?
00:30:36.000To all the people who keep saying you can't blame the cops, there are officers who put a journalist, Steve Baker, in shackles as they brought him in.
00:31:03.000What's most infuriating to me, and I'll speak for the libertarians on this one, hopefully they allow me to, I'm heartbroken because the reality is that there was a lot of peaceful, you know, nonviolent offenders is what libertarians were most concerned about because being the land of the free and having the most per capita incarceration rate was an atrocity in my opinion.
00:31:24.000However, No one in our camp, as far as I know, was interested in releasing people that were guilty of violent crime or property crime.
00:31:33.000It was only the nonviolent drug offenses and, you know, diminishing the severity of sentences when it comes to nonviolent issues at minimum.
00:31:43.000And what will be a consequence of this?
00:31:45.000And this is, I think, plays perfectly into Clower Piven's strategy of sowing discord so that in that implosion, what will the people turn to?
00:31:55.000They're going to turn toward the state, the state which exactly is responsible for creating this crisis in the first place.
00:32:02.000And that's going to increase their power ultimately.
00:32:05.000At this point, I can't even blame them, because if you're looking at this insanity like Ana Kasparian is, it's very human to say, I need someone to make this stop.
00:32:35.000I think Anna's arc is that she, like many other liberals, began actually fact-checking things for the show, and it probably occurred when she was wrong about something, got a bunch of tweets, and she was like, what was I wrong about, and then checked.
00:32:47.000And I think being called a uterus-haver or or what infuriating.
00:33:32.000I will say this though, if you want to see the Anicasparians of the world actually consider Trump, that she had another vile rant just last week where she was arguing against our foreign policy and the aid that was being sent to Israel.
00:33:44.000Now, I think that it ought to be applied universally that the America First movement, which I think really brought Trump to power, was supposed to be focused on domestic politics and increasing and improving the lives of the American people and kind of setting to the back burner, at minimum, the foreign policy issues that we've been dealing with my entire lifetime.
00:34:07.000And now you have Trump that's campaigning on, he's the biggest friend of Israel, and he's going to take care of them better than Biden ever would.
00:34:13.000And I think that Anna Kasparian is not going to be a supporter of Trump for that reason.
00:34:16.000I think she's probably going to end up in the RFK camp, but he's also pretty pro-Israel, so I don't know.
00:34:22.000Someone Anna knows is going to get mercilessly beaten in the streets of California.
00:34:26.000Like this crime is happening so intensely, it's affecting everybody.
00:34:31.000And it's fascinating that, especially with illegal immigration, when I talked to, like I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I was talking to this Gen Z guy and he says he's voting Trump.
00:34:40.000And I said, I think the reason that Gen Z is shifting towards Trump is because of illegal immigration.
00:34:46.000And he was like, yeah, that's it basically.
00:34:48.000And I was like, my view is, This woman, whose parents died and she inherited the house, is the perfect metaphor for this country.
00:34:56.000Our parents, and our parents' parents, and our parents' parents' parents, planted trees whose shade they knew they would never sit beneath.
00:35:04.000To be real, they planted trees they actually sat beneath.
00:35:08.000They built houses, they lived in them.
00:35:09.000They built bridges, they crossed them.
00:35:11.000And then they said, when you're old enough, you will inherit all that we have built.
00:35:54.000And when you see the migrant that came across that viral clip that I know you're going to play here soon, when you see in his eyes, there's a level of Like really the ideology, the philosophy actually, it transcribes pretty well onto leftist voters in this country.
00:36:24.000And I think it's a very, it's a, You know, I'm not even a very religious person, but I think it's very, you know, they talk about this in the Bible quite a bit.
00:36:30.000So it's one that leads towards disaster.
00:36:34.000And I think that that's what we're witnessing is decades of people being educated at the highest levels in academia to believe that meritocracy is no longer valid.
00:36:44.000That if you get ahead, it's in some way evil.
00:38:49.000The, the top section in writing on the video says, we could invade houses in the U.S., what do you think of the new law?
00:38:56.000And, uh, you got a guy basically saying, yo, let's go and take these houses.
00:39:02.000Well I think this is actually a good opportunity for me to push back against the open borders crowd and the libertarian movement.
00:39:09.000There is this perception amongst many in the open borders libertarian movement that every migrant is just someone looking for a better life that ultimately if they were to be here they would have and uphold our values and that's as simple as it gets and they ought to have all of the same rights that we do, human rights and whatnot.
00:39:27.000I am a firm believer that the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, does not grant us the right to self-defense.
00:39:33.000I do think that it is a universal human right.
00:39:35.000However, you do not have a right—not all 7 billion people on the planet have a right to be an American, and therefore, not all 7 billion people have a right to come to America while armed.
00:39:45.000That looks like an invasion to me, and as a domestic, you know, born-and-bred person, I think it's fair to perceive it that way, particularly when you have gentlemen like this that are coming across the border saying, I intend to seize your homes.
00:39:56.000So for people who weren't watching, there is a translation, but I'll give you the gist of it.
00:40:56.000Pay rent to the Airbnb, get a cell phone, and then go to the Airbnb, stand outside, call the cops, and say, I've been unlawfully convicted.
00:41:15.000Cloward-Piven, it was a political strategy that was formulated in the 1960s by two gentlemen named Cloward and Piven that they ultimately... I believe you're incorrect.
00:41:55.000You overwhelm every element of the system to where the system can't hold anything anymore
00:42:00.000That's what the British tried to do to the Chinese at the end of the 1800s, too, what the Boxer Rebellion was all about.
00:42:04.000They were like, get out, get out, stop shipping opium into our country, you're killing us.
00:42:08.000I think it's really important for people to understand that Illegal immigration has been an issue our entire lifetimes, but when you look at the historical averages throughout the Bush administration all the way into the Clinton administration, we're now talking about figures that are 10x what they were on average.
00:42:36.000If you look at the United Nations, if you look at the funding, the United States taxpayer is being robbed to fund the United Nations, which then turns around and hands out cell phones and maps and financial support to this migrant caravan operation that is ran by these NGOs to get these people here.
00:42:53.000The reason that it's north of three million annually and increasing is because it's an op that's being ran.
00:42:58.000If you look at the United Nations plans when it comes to Agenda 2030 and all of the things that play into the World Economic Forum, this is not organic.
00:43:05.000And until people are willing to have that conversation, until people to realize that this is not just happening out of the blue, if you look at what's happened in Europe, if you looked at the crime rates that are increasing, all of this is coming for America.
00:43:17.000And it's like, I feel like people are sleepwalking right into it.
00:43:20.000So the other thing too that I think people don't realize is that if you're a would-be illegal immigrant, you can download an app that was manufactured by the Biden administration called CBP One, and it's an app where you can request an appointment to present yourself at a land port of entry to enter illegally.
00:43:40.000And the Biden administration also in 2023, they said that their plan was to double the number of refugees from the Western Hemisphere and would commit to welcoming thousands of additional refugees per month from the Western Hemisphere, the goal of doubling.
00:43:57.000It was Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti were part of the expanded parole process announced to accept up to 30,000 individuals per month from those nations.
00:44:13.000It's not just the United Nations, it's literally the Biden administration telling everybody that this is the plan.
00:44:17.000Like you saw after Biden was elected, there were people lining up at the border with Thank You Joe Biden t-shirts on.
00:44:22.000Well, and keep in mind that the United Nations is predominantly funded by the United States of America, so any plan that they have that they're pushing is ultimately still being dictated to a certain extent by U.S.
00:44:36.000The reality is that if you actually look at the language that they're using, they're talking about equity.
00:44:41.000They're talking about all of the same woke nonsense that we're all pushing back against in the United States of America.
00:44:47.000This is a global plan to bring about equity when it comes to nations.
00:44:51.000They want to have the poorest amongst us in all of the world It is now our duty, because we've had it too good for too long, we now have to have these people come here so that they can benefit from the institutional wealth and success that we've had in America.
00:45:09.000I still believe that there is something to be said for meritocracy.
00:45:13.000If you want to uphold what made America great, including property rights and capitalism, You're going to have to reject this open borders nonsense.
00:45:21.000And if you don't, if you refuse that path, you will end up in a socialist hellhole.
00:45:26.000And that is exactly what the LP of Louisiana and any of these open borders libertarians are advocating on behalf of.
00:45:32.000And I'm going to lose a hell of a lot of support for saying this, but I am telling the goddamn truth.
00:45:37.000You are in the Anna Kasparian camp where you're saying, if this is what it means to be a libertarian, I'm not a libertarian anymore.
00:45:50.000If they want to reject me, the delegates will decide end of May if my perception of these matters is in alignment with their belief system.
00:46:00.000Murray Rothbard had a very similar revelation in the 1990s.
00:46:04.000He realized that the USSR had used illegal immigration to flood Eastern Bloc nations to topple them.
00:46:10.000I believe strongly that's what we're witnessing.
00:46:13.000If a libertarian is going to advocate on behalf of open borders when that is in alignment with globalist plans that are being pushed by government institutions all over the world against the American people, then you have lost the plot.
00:46:28.000is part of this 2030 agenda thing where they're involved with funding the migrants and that you said the United States is the biggest funder of the U.N.
00:46:35.000but I think I take issue with that only in that it's the banks, it's the global banking establishment using the U.S.
00:46:40.000dollar through the Federal Reserve, through the Bank for International Settlements to pump the U.N.
00:46:44.000and screw the people of the United States because American constitutionalism is in the way of oligarchy.
00:46:49.000It's blocking the technocracy that's trying to control the planet.
00:47:04.000I am not interested in socialism or globalism, and these people push that through every lever of power you can imagine.
00:47:10.000Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you in our next segment to the death of the Libertarian Party's chances at winning anything.
00:47:17.000Now, of course, it's fair to say no one really expected Libertarians to win.
00:47:41.000The purpose of the Second Amendment is to protect people and their rights.
00:47:43.000Those under attack deserve the right to defense no matter where they're from.
00:47:48.000The reason why I say this is officially the death of Libertarian Party's chances at anything is that in this country you have Democrats, Moderates, Republicans, Independents, all in agreement that there is a crisis of illegal immigration and crime.
00:48:01.000And now the Libertarian Party of Louisiana publicly announced we should give guns to these people.
00:48:23.000The people that love this messaging absolutely despise me, and they despise the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, and they despise Dave Smith, and they despise Ron Paul, and that's fine.
00:48:33.000If you want to have that fight, we can have it.
00:48:37.000Do you want to uphold the vision that Ron Paul had moving forward and elect someone like myself to be our representative, or are you interested in going in the complete polar opposite direction?
00:48:48.000I'll jump to this story from the Postmillennial.
00:48:49.000Federal judge rules illegal immigrants can possess firearms under 2A.
00:48:53.000Now, at first, I tweeted, don't care, Second Amendment, we should just be able to defend ourselves.
00:48:59.000But someone instantly made the correct point that as criminals, they actually have a due process restriction on those rights.
00:49:06.000And yeah, actually, I agree with that.
00:49:09.000So typically, when it comes to constitutional rights, they can be restricted through due process.
00:49:15.000However, considering these people are already determined to have entered the country illegally, the crime is an afterthought.
00:49:22.000Criminal status is inherent in criminal alien, therefore they should not be able to possess firearms as they are criminals.
00:49:29.000Well, I gotta tie it right back into Clara Piven.
00:49:31.000If Donald Trump is to be re-elected and he is to do, as he's promised many times, the largest deportation plan in American history, well, if you're gonna arm the migrants, that's going to make this a very tumultuous, as Luke Rudowsky might say, situation.
00:49:50.000I think the unfortunate reality is No matter what ends up happening, if the end goal was to create an authoritarian machine, it is inevitability.
00:50:02.000Right now, Donald Trump will get elected, and when he does, he will begin deporting people, they will begin going after corrupt individuals, and they will move towards a security state in an effort to stop the crime created by Democrats.
00:50:19.000I see no other solution to dealing with the security issues in our cities and crime and illegal immigration.
00:50:26.000I suppose perhaps the answer is our communities need to be stronger.
00:50:31.000We need to go to either community centers once a week to meet our neighbors or church, whatever it may be.
00:50:37.000But short of that happening, what likely will happen is in the event Trump gets elected and begins to enact what we would feel is a cleanup.
00:50:44.000He will not be president forever, and then if Democrats make a move in 2028 and inherit any of these powers, then we're just in for hell.
00:50:58.000And this is exactly why I was pushing back earlier and saying, let's let New York go because I would rather have tech—no, just hear me out.
00:51:06.000The reason I'm saying that is because I want to have the Floridas and the Texases of the world allowed to uphold my beliefs.
00:52:11.000They arrested, I think it was like what, 26 members of the Maryland state legislature for having confederate sentiment.
00:52:17.000That's basically what Katonji Brown-Jackson was arguing for in the Murthy vs. Missouri case the other day.
00:52:24.000Well, not arguing for, she's not supposed to argue for anything, but there she was out there saying, doesn't the government have the right to basically violate the First Amendment in a time of crisis?
00:54:42.000Will Trump do any of what you're describing?
00:54:45.000And I've said it many times, if Trump's rhetoric matched his actions, there could be some hope for a second term of him.
00:54:53.000But when it comes to going after, we're talking about the most deeply embedded, most powerful institutions that have ever existed.
00:55:01.000And it's one man who's facing 750 years in prison and half a billion dollar fine right now.
00:55:06.000What do you think Trump's doing right now?
00:55:07.000If the concern really was that Trump would do nothing, Trump would have immediately gone to the deep state and said, I'm not going to run again.
00:55:18.000Well, maybe, maybe, maybe or they would have come after him regardless, because they want to send a message to any political dissident in this country that if you challenge us, you go away forever.
00:55:27.000I think Trump could have easily gone to them and said, It's over.
00:55:31.000I'm just going to be an old man on my golden toilet.
00:55:46.000Or it could also be out of desperation that he realizes if he doesn't prevail in this election, he's going to prison for the rest of his life.
00:55:57.000Well, if he has learned the lessons, the reason I'm skeptical, other than what happened in 2020, is because he has already allegedly said he's not going to have Vivek as his VP.
00:56:05.000I think that he needs a guy like that.
00:56:07.000Yeah, he's going to put him in a cabinet position, put him head of Homeland Security.
00:56:12.000Right, so when Trump says, no, Vivek, you're not going to be VP, I'm considering you for head of Homeland Security, or Secretary of Homeland Security, or whatever the position is, that sounds more like he goes, Vivek, you need to do what you said you're going to do.
00:56:23.000I'm going to put you in the position to do it.
00:56:46.000Yeah, because they'd be like, that's basically a threat.
00:56:48.000I feel like what we really need is someone who could go out there on the campaign trail and, like, be as strong at rallies and things as Trump is.
00:56:56.000Oh, Vivek's the only guy in the GOP I've seen do that even close.
00:57:36.000We don't have any guarantees that Trump walks into the White House, throws off his jacket, and he's just got like, he's been working out, he's ripped, and he's like, you have no idea what comes next.
00:58:28.000But they squeezed everything they could out of universal mail-in voting and this shadow campaign, they called it in Time Magazine, to make sure Biden won.
00:58:36.000But Biden also did, to be fair, have that Obama nostalgia effect.
00:59:04.000I just, what I'm disappointed in is that, not even setting the Trump issue aside, is just that there hasn't been any justice for the 2020 era that has come from the conservative Rand House.
00:59:17.000And it's like, that was the one thing, you know, with the Thomas Massys and the Rand Pauls of the world, those are my people.
00:59:23.000And the fact that we haven't seen, you know, any criminal charges that are being brought, and I know it's Biden's AG, but it's like, man, we need to have repercussions for what they put us through in 2020.
00:59:34.000But look at what they did to Delaware, right?
00:59:36.000So they had Hunter Biden, they had charges for him, the IRS was like, hey, there's definitely charges here, and they essentially colluded so that Hunter Biden didn't face any charges.
00:59:46.000And then the guy who was appointed to be the special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden is the Attorney General for Delaware!
00:59:51.000Who, like, used to chill with Beau Biden.
00:59:54.000Let's jump to the story from the Postmillennial.
00:59:56.000California rep Katie Porter predicts Trump will soon, quote, have his demise.
01:00:01.000I don't know what his demise is going to be, but he's going to have his demise.
01:00:05.000I do think that we're allowing, in a larger way, the fear of Trump.
01:00:10.000The stakes are so high for LGBTQ rights, for abortion rights, for all of these things that we care passionately about.
01:00:19.000To allow certain forces that benefit from the status quo to convince us we can't afford to change and we can't afford to be different.
01:00:26.000And I think the ultimate problem with that is we're having a real problem with younger voters.
01:00:31.000We're having a problem with people choosing to register no party preference.
01:02:22.000They're just really, really bad human beings.
01:02:25.000And I don't know how we've gotten to this situation, other than to say that public education has made people so stupid that they continue to put these scumbags in power, and no one ever even reflects on it.
01:02:54.000The whole way it's built is like a corrupted pyramid.
01:02:56.000Well, this is why usually political establishments swing hard left to hard right is that once it gets this corrupted, it requires a strongman dictator to come in and arrest and lock up all these all these criminals, but then because he's holding that
01:03:09.000that ring of power so close, he's oftentimes corrupted himself. This is going to be, we're
01:03:13.000going to find out a lot about Bukele in the not too distant future with El Salvador, because
01:03:17.000what he did was basically miraculous, but he took extraordinary power to be able to do so.
01:03:43.000And I agree, obviously, but it's still, can you have a stranglehold on power and maintain who you are?
01:03:50.000There's very few people, Ron Paul is one of the only, Thomas Massey are the type of guys that I think could actually be that close to the ring and not lose their soul.
01:03:59.000Have you guys heard this stuff, like, I just, I hear these rumors, I love the eschatology stuff, about the Red Heifer, we talked about the Red Heifer, you guys know the Red Heifer?
01:04:09.000So apparently there's, like, potentially a bunch of red heifers that may- Explain that really quick for people that are listening.
01:04:16.000Alright, so, uh, I don't know a whole lot about it, only a little bit, because people have brought it up on the show, and we looked into it, we talked about it on The Culture War.
01:04:23.000At least you know it's a female, I didn't even know Claren and Piven were females.
01:04:26.000You don't know who Francis Fox Piven is?
01:04:36.000So, uh, the Red Heifer is basically, there's a prophecy that if there is a perfect Red Heifer with no blemish, they can sacrifice it at the third temple or whatever, which signifies, will bring about the Messiah.
01:04:46.000And so there are Christians who believe it will bring, it's the return of Jesus.
01:04:50.000And there are Jews who believe it is the first coming of their Messiah.
01:04:55.000But that puts them at direct odds with Muslim nations because they would basically have to... What's that mosque?
01:05:05.000Yes, because they would have to take that position so they could sacrifice an offer.
01:05:09.000And then now we've got, like, there's this solar eclipse coming, and then a lunar eclipse that's forming an X over a certain part of the country.
01:05:19.000I didn't look too much into it, but basically people are like, yeah, the world's ending.
01:05:22.000I learned last week, and correct me if I'm wrong anyone that studies Judaism, that the second coming of Christ is going to be either economically and peacefully, or it's going to be a warlord that does it through death and destruction and chaos.
01:05:37.000And it's either going to be a very wealthy guy that can unite the world, or it's going to be a killer that unites the world through military force.
01:05:43.000I've got to take this opportunity to shout out Candace Owens.
01:05:45.000This lady has been going to the mat fighting off the recent attacks that she's been dealing with, and I've been blown away at her courage that she's been willing to do so.
01:05:56.000She also was kind enough to have Dave Smith on the show, and they had a fantastic conversation.
01:06:17.000The rabbi told her she's being misogynistic.
01:06:19.000I watched the entire 90-minute interview and it was spectacular having her actually play the content of her having the conversation with Tucker.
01:06:27.000And then the guy doubling down right after she proved out, I condemned Hamas.
01:06:39.000But I think she did an incredible job at staying calm because I could not have sat there for 90 minutes having someone calling me an anti-Semite over and over again.
01:06:45.000Back to what we were talking about with eschatology, I have this image where we had an annular solar eclipse in October and a total solar eclipse April 8th and the X is over Texas.
01:06:59.000That's very close to where all the bad stuff is happening right now.
01:07:39.000The internet itself is an aspect of our synergy.
01:07:42.000We're coalescing and coordinating as the species, and it's like, yo, this is whatever you want to call it.
01:07:47.000There's a lot of people that are in positions of power that do believe in this stuff, and I think that many of them are actually trying to drive us towards it.
01:07:53.000And that gives me great pause as a non-believer that you have people that have access to nuclear weapons that are like thinking, hey, we gotta make this happen!
01:10:00.000And then when you look at how crazy things have gotten, and you've got this like solar eclipse and then solar eclipse making an X right over basically Eagle Pass.
01:10:10.000I mean, the sun is a magnetic being, you know, so is the earth and so are we, but that's pretty... the moon, you know, it's... phew, that is so cool.
01:10:38.000So I don't think they're going to be having many books written or conversations if in fact that's what we're facing.
01:10:44.000I'm just imagining, like, well, we're all doing the show, and then all of a sudden, like, Seamus just starts lifting up from his seat, and we're like, wait a minute, and then he's like, oh, I guess it's happening.
01:10:52.000And he just rips through the ceiling, and then he's gone, and we're like, damn.
01:11:20.000And I think this has been, you know, the point that I've been trying to make with my Twitter and my show Liberty Lockdown is like, I'm trying to reach the libertarian audience that is already, you know, in terms of understanding the paradigm that we're existing under currently, they're miles ahead of the average person because they've been very skeptical of institutional power.
01:11:38.000They've been very skeptical of the media.
01:11:40.000They've been very skeptical of the financial institutions.
01:11:43.000All of these people are very, very advanced when it comes to trying to become independent and function outside of the system.
01:11:49.000But I think that many of them still fall prey to not understanding the complexity of the power structure that rules over us.
01:11:56.000And this is why I think that the open borders issue has been such a dividing one.
01:12:01.000And I think this is why this shock jock type posting where it's like, arm the migrants.
01:12:06.000really doesn't do us justice as messengers because we still function under a democratic system.
01:12:12.000People are still going to have to vote for us.
01:12:14.000And if your perception is that there is any electoral pathway forward, which obviously they don't think so, because otherwise you wouldn't be posting something like that, it is extraordinarily unpopular to say that the 30 million plus or the 5 million, 7 million that have come across during the Biden administration, many of which are gang members, I might add, Not all.
01:13:13.000That has nothing to do with the United States.
01:13:14.000Of course, but do you want people that came to this country illegally, that have criminal records from the nations they're coming from, to be armed legally in America?
01:14:52.000But in terms of like actual just profligate spending, I mean, you could give it to Powell because it's totally out of control even though he's been hiking interest rates and I respect that.
01:15:01.000Regardless, the people that are in control of the money supply in this country have absolutely doomed our children to a future that is much more destitute than our own, and I am never going to forgive them for it.
01:15:11.000Fortunately, people like me that understand this have already divested ourselves from the U.S.
01:15:16.000It's just not very easy, and it doesn't bode well for a functioning civilization moving forward.
01:15:22.000Let's jump to this clip from Fox News about Kevin O'Leary and talk about what's going on in New York, because we've been ragging on New York all day.
01:15:29.000More importantly, the message about the American brand.
01:15:33.000You think about America, the reason this is the number one economy on earth is that we have laws and we have due process and we have property rights.
01:15:41.000It attracts foreign capital from all around the world.
01:15:44.000All of that is being shaken to the core here.
01:15:48.000The concept of seizing assets in 30 days on a bond number that's never been issued.
01:15:54.000No insurance bond companies ever issued anything near this, so there was no chance it was going to happen.
01:16:00.000And only giving 30 days notice in time...
01:16:06.000And I think New Yorkers should think well past Trump.
01:16:10.000Whether he's president or not, or whether this Attorney General is gone in four years or not, it's irrelevant.
01:16:16.000This is case setting against the American brand.
01:16:20.000The most stable country on earth, anywhere, to put capital work over a long period of time, particularly in real estate, is the United States of America.
01:16:29.000Let's break down real quick what he just said.
01:16:31.000This is about the fraud case against Donald Trump.
01:16:34.000A $454 million bond, which now is up to like $500 and something, has never been issued.
01:17:50.000Well, what we have now is quite literally, like, look, in these communist countries, Do people really think that it was like the premier and the dictator just went, for no reason, I'm going to steal your building!
01:18:38.000And then a Washington Post woman who's smirking the whole time like it's to protect the market.
01:18:44.000And Kevin's going, the market is destroyed by this.
01:18:48.000Nobody wants to invest in New York now.
01:18:50.000He doesn't, and he's telling her, there's no market anymore.
01:18:52.000But these communists are just laughing, being like, good, we don't like it.
01:18:56.000Well, and you even had Kathy Hochul addressing the concerns that New York business owners would be concerned by this and would, you know, essentially divest from New York.
01:19:04.000And she basically came out and said, no, we're just doing this to Donald Trump.
01:19:10.000It's just like what Katie Porter said.
01:19:12.000She said that basically the entire Democratic platform is set up to oppose Donald Trump.
01:19:17.000Not to oppose his policies, not to oppose his ideas, not to oppose the Republican Party, not to oppose, you know, different plans for the United States or a different future than the one she envisions.
01:19:28.000Their entire party, she said, is set up to oppose Donald Trump.
01:19:31.000And that's what they're doing in New York as well.
01:20:04.000It's because everyone all over the world who has forever looked at America as this bastion of security and safety when it came to investing is now looking at America and saying, this is a politically weaponized system.
01:20:14.000And if I deploy capital here, and this is actually ties into- Like Venezuela!
01:20:17.000This ties into my opposition to your perspective on the TikTok bill, too, in that if you start to weaponize the government against alleged foreign enemy nations, which they just listed off those four nations, well, that dries up foreign investor capital because they realize that we're now in an activated, kind of militarized financial system.
01:21:01.000So if they chose to invest with that being the case, they made that decision, which proves what you're saying is not correct.
01:21:07.000Well, because it hasn't gotten as bad as it can possibly get, but once you start to ban their products outright, it's going to give investors pause when it comes to investing.
01:21:18.000Chinese investors in American real estate is astronomical.
01:21:25.000But we don't want China to own our economy.
01:21:28.000The craziest thing about the TikTok bill is that you have people defending it by saying, there are people, there are thousands of people who run their businesses on TikTok.
01:21:50.000See, that's, I think, a little bit unfair framing, given that... If the Libertarian Party's position is that we should allow our foreign adversaries to have control over our market, our real estate, then the Libertarian Party is not a serious political party.
01:22:02.000Well, you've got to beat them at their own game.
01:22:03.000I'm interested in free market trading, I am.
01:22:06.000That's been a Libertarian policy forever.
01:22:08.000You have to get them to defeat themselves, because if we let the President decide at will who's the enemy and ban their products, well, that's what that bill does.
01:22:50.000And so why is everyone so obsessed with TikTok?
01:22:53.000And the point with the TikTok bill is, if you are concerned about a bill that would allow the president to declare That one of four enemy nations has a financial interest in a social media app that has more than one million users, where users are able to log in to both share and view content.
01:23:11.000It is a declared national security threat to Congress and has been adjudicated in DC.
01:23:17.000If you're going to say all of that, And I think that's a bad idea.
01:23:21.000But if we're talking about... I'll say it again.
01:23:26.000My issue with it is that people keep lying about what's in the bill because they're trying to win a political argument.
01:23:32.000Instead of just coming out and saying, the bill would do these things, it is possible the president will say something like, This guy, Igor, has a financial investment of 20% in Truth Social.
01:24:04.000The issue that I have, and I align myself with David Sack's analysis on this, and I forget exactly the clause... What's the name of the bill?
01:25:18.000Look, My problem with the corporate press and the Democrats is they lie about everything.
01:25:22.000So if Thomas Massie comes out and cuts context, if Rand Paul is wrong and Tucker Carlson is wrong, I'm going to say these people are wrong.
01:25:29.000Yeah, no, I think that's totally fair.
01:25:30.000I think that the argument that the Thomas Massies and the Justin Amash and the Rand Pauls of the world are making, including Ron Paul, he came out against it too, Including myself, Dave Smith, a whole list of people, is that we are essentially shell-shocked from the power that the federal government has accumulated through periods of crisis without demonstrable evidence of the claim.
01:25:53.000I have not seen, and I'll ask you just bluntly, have you seen any definitive evidence that the CCP is actually dictating the algorithm when it comes to TikTok?
01:26:02.000Because Marco Rubio and all these other neocon scumbags pretend as if they've seen it, pretend as if they have it.
01:26:07.000That they have a board, the CCP has a board member on TikTok?
01:26:31.000But at the very least, we did get through FOIA proof that intelligence agencies were in active communication with our social media and we were able to take some action against them, to which it is currently going to the Supreme Court.
01:26:42.000That is a very, very challenging and difficult position for American people to challenge these massive multinational corporations headquartered in the United States.
01:26:50.000And we still at least have the ability to have FOIA requests of our intelligence agencies and figure out these things are going on.
01:26:59.000Right now, we do not have that with TikTok and the CCP.
01:27:05.000We can't even begin to ask them what degree of control.
01:27:10.000And it's already been speculated the reason they won't sell is because they want control of the algorithm and they don't want to reveal what it is.
01:27:17.000Unfortunately for us, I have no intention of believing the communists Have this beautiful algorithm that is totally neutral and just shows kids what they like.
01:27:38.000Or it's just the most advanced algorithm in the world.
01:27:41.000Look, let's just consider for a second that Mnuchin, the Treasury, I think it was the Treasury Secretary under Donald Trump, he has now gone into private practice, he has his hedge fund, and he is arranging to acquire TikTok, the domestic version of it.
01:27:55.000I think that that is absolutely reprehensible.
01:27:58.000If you believe it's a weapon of war, then you should want it abolished entirely, correct?
01:28:01.000You think we... See, this is the difference between revolutionaries and reformers.
01:28:04.000I think it's better that Amazon owns TikTok than the CCP, and Amazon is bad.
01:28:11.000But you think it's better the communists own this massive platform with US businesses and our children on it?
01:28:32.000We have actually won tremendously when it comes to, say, Second Amendment rights.
01:28:36.000We have nothing to go against the CCP.
01:28:39.000And if they control any amount of our economy through real estate, farmland, or TikTok, if they're able to influence our youth, as Yuri Bezmenov warned us about, we have to take action to prevent that.
01:28:51.000Talk to me about this bill for a second, because we haven't really gone too deep.
01:29:12.000Controlled by a foreign adversary, specifically in the definitions, refers to another bill, where this is codified by Congress as China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.
01:29:20.000So any other, as soon as a country becomes codified, then that will become part of this.
01:29:24.000If Congress comes together and declares under that specific subsection an amendment that would add or remove, it would change these things.
01:29:32.000Yeah, that's dangerous because if someone has a network that is messing with us, then Congress might be like, well, they're definitely an enemy.
01:29:39.000I mean, the counter-argument is exactly this.
01:29:41.000You've already had an outright lie that Donald Trump was being controlled by Vladimir Putin.
01:31:06.000The hotshot buzzword of the week comes up and all of a sudden I got people on the right posting nonsense about the bill they didn't read and ignoring all the other bills that are worse.
01:31:16.000One bill that's currently going through Congress would give Joe Biden the right to stop oil exports and control oil!
01:32:06.000As an enforcement action after 165 days and a refusal to divest, the enforcement action is, companies in the United States cannot host you, which means you can still distribute and market your product in any way you want.
01:32:48.000If TikTok doesn't say ByteDance, you're out.
01:32:51.000What ends up happening then is the App Store on Apple removes it and the Google Play Store removes it.
01:32:57.000American servers must stop hosting it.
01:33:00.000It can be hosted in Canada, it can be hosted in the Bahamas, it can be hosted in Venezuela, it can be hosted in any other country which we do have access to by typing in words into a browser.
01:33:09.000Many websites you go to are actually not even hosted in the United States.
01:33:31.000That would shut down VPNs, that would shut down Telegram.
01:33:34.000So I pulled the bill up on Reddit and I went, oh, Thomas Massey has removed critical context that explains that's not what it's going to do.
01:33:39.000It would penalize American businesses for working with an adversary of the United States for On specifically a social media website named as TikTok, or another platform with at least a million users, where users can log in and share content, specifically social media, that has refused to defest from an interest in one of four countries, and failing to file for adjudication within 165 days.
01:34:01.000So, there is this long and circuitous chain by which Joe Biden could say, Twitter's a national security threat.
01:34:21.000Well, he would have to shut down SpaceX and Tesla if that was the case.
01:34:25.000Yeah, well I think this is the whole reason Elon hasn't been taken to the mat already is because he works so much with the government that it would be a real issue for them.
01:34:34.000If we come to the point in this country where Joe Biden comes out and says Elon Musk's companies are forfeit and we are seizing them, beyond what we're already seeing with Trump, as like Trump, I think we're off the precipice with New York.
01:34:48.000But if the federal government makes those moves, you have a lot more to worry about than TikTok or X. I know, but I'm just trying to slow the bleed here.
01:34:58.000I mean, here's my bigger concern, too, is that giving the government the power to... This is kind of playing into their misinformation narrative that they've been pushing for the past three years very harshly.
01:35:10.000Also, the actions that were taken by AWS, as well as the Apple Play Store, Google, all that, when it came to Parler.
01:35:17.000Like, it was already kind of a shot across the bow when it came to trying to shut down social media that goes against the corporate narrative in a time when they don't have the control.
01:35:26.000They had control of Twitter before Elon.
01:35:28.000They had control of Facebook and Instagram and across the board.
01:35:31.000But they came very aggressively against Parler.
01:35:33.000You want to know what the best part of this bill is, my favorite part?
01:35:40.000Which says the term covered company does not include an entity that operates a website, desktop application, mobile application, or augmented or immersive technology application, whose primary purpose is to allow users to post product reviews, business reviews, travel information, and reviews.
01:35:52.000In which case, the bill could only cover TikTok.
01:36:15.000So commerce is not... They're exempt from it all.
01:36:18.000Yeah, but commerce is not exempt from it.
01:36:20.000Websites that particularly do commerce are not exempt.
01:36:22.000Right, you have to have a million users, allow users to post content and share content and view content, it has to have a stated interest from one of four countries, and it can't be a website Where you are posting product reviews, business reviews, travel information, and reviews.
01:36:38.000Well, Massie brought up this point because he's saying this is evidence that it is not specifically targeted towards TikTok.
01:36:45.000Because you had a lobbyist for some corporate, I don't know, Travelocity or whoever it was, that said, we're concerned about what they're going to do to us, so we need to have a carve-out to make sure that we're safe.
01:36:54.000So all X need do is say, Post your travel reviews.
01:37:00.000Only if it's their primary purpose is to allow.
01:37:18.000You can't say, because I can make a misconstrued argument on language, therefore Well, if it didn't say primary, I'd be a little more comfortable.
01:37:26.000This is what bothers me with this bill.
01:37:28.000Is that everyone's basically nitpicking every word to claim things the bill doesn't say.
01:37:45.000I can't believe that last night I started pulling up a whole bunch of bills.
01:37:49.000I'm like, here's one that allows an unelected bureaucrat to inspect farms and it could ban their food saying it's not human consumption.
01:37:56.000It's not not not right for human consumption.
01:37:58.000So this is actually happening right now.
01:38:00.000There's a there's a case going through I think the Supreme Court where a farmer they're shutting down his milk production.
01:38:05.000And everyone's just like, but if you look here, this word means that they're going to be, yes, look, any bill, all bills, they can do whatever they want.
01:38:13.000But for some reason, people are desperately like, China should have control of our farmland, our real estate and our commerce, our digital commerce.
01:38:19.000TikTok is known to be a social media commerce website.
01:38:39.000I think that's a bit of a strawman of my position, at least.
01:38:42.000I can't speak for everybody, but my big issue is that you and I know, as people who make our living on the internet, how absolutely vital it is that we defend free discussion, free debate, free speech on the internet.
01:38:55.000And I am not interested in offering them additional power when it comes to this arena.
01:39:04.000I think this is a tribalist argument that has no logic.
01:39:06.000Like, the idea that you would rather fight the CCP, who you have no legal standing against, versus our government where you have the Constitution and you have the Supreme Court.
01:39:14.000Who has more power over you, the CCP, or your own government, Tim?
01:39:20.000TikTok giving the CCP control over commerce on top of it's bad enough they're buying farmland, it's bad enough they're buying real estate, they're pricing out American working class people from the market and we've been screaming about this for years and now that we know for a fact that China through TikTok is gaining a major foothold in digital commerce and influence peddling to our youth, all of a sudden it's not an issue anymore.
01:39:42.000Well, let's inverse that, because the whole reason that so many entrepreneurs rely on TikTok is because your government decided to lock them down and shut down their businesses in 2020, which now you have so many entrepreneurs that are hanging on by a thread.
01:40:06.000And we have the Constitution and the Supreme Court And we have our best efforts through the electoral process, state courts, etc., to challenge all of that, and we've had major successes.
01:40:28.000When it became clear that the Democrats were panicking over the pro-Palestine content on TikTok, A bunch of pro-Israel donors contacted Democrats and said, it must be banned.
01:40:41.000All of a sudden Democrats got on board with the Republicans' position on this.
01:40:46.000TikTok then sent out a push notification to all American users saying, do not let them do this.
01:40:52.000And then these people started spamming congressional offices saying, don't ban our app.
01:40:59.000This Chinese-owned app directed American youth to change the laws in our country.
01:41:08.000They played this on Fox earlier today.
01:41:10.000One representative got a death threat from someone saying that they would come and kill them if they voted on this one.
01:41:24.000They have a foothold in one of the largest digital commerce platforms, and it's here in the United States, and we don't know what they're doing.
01:41:31.000And they have directed American citizens to change laws already using this app.
01:42:04.000And now you've got a bunch of states are backing away from that after being exposed.
01:42:09.000Not that it's a good... It's not like we won or anything, but I can tell you this, we can put Mark Zuckerberg in prison if we want to.
01:42:15.000Not like it's easy, but maybe, maybe in a rare...
01:42:19.000You know, shoot to the moon and maybe you'll hit the stars.
01:42:21.000Donald Trump gets elected, immediately investigates the interference in the election that Zuckerberg with Zuckerbuck's put in, and then says, massive penalty, fines, you're in trouble now.
01:43:06.000It doesn't change the fact that they have a massive foothold in our farmland, in our real estate, in our digital media, digital commerce, and at the very least, we can all complain about the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, national security letters, and all of that stuff, but we can't do anything about the CCP.
01:43:21.000Well, here's the truth of the situation, though.
01:43:24.000We are incredibly reliant on China's support at this point.
01:43:27.000They own a huge percentage of our debt.
01:43:29.000They own a huge percentage of our real estate.
01:43:31.000They have ultimately bolstered our economy when we would otherwise probably be in a depression.
01:43:36.000And for the record, they are equally reliant on us because we are the buyers of everything they produce.
01:43:42.000Look, I'm not saying that you're wrong.
01:43:44.000I'm saying that you need to consider the consequences of the plan that you're taking on.
01:43:47.000You are opting to make them an enemy nation and try and divest us when we are very intertwined.
01:43:53.000And also, Ron Paul has advocated- So you're with the Democrats on this one?
01:44:00.000Let's not try and put me into some camp because we disagree on one topic.
01:44:02.000What argument do you have for, China is destroying us, let's just give in?
01:44:07.000Look, if the libertarian position is that China is destroying us, that is an argument that needs to be made with evidence.
01:44:14.000Okay, so how about the deal that we opened up, starting with Nixon, so we can get trade, and we think that we're going to bring American trade to China, and they're going to normalize and become like us, and they do the inverse.
01:44:24.000We've got the stealing of intellectual property for decades.
01:44:27.000We have incessant cyber attacks going on since the invention of the internet.
01:44:32.000We have been under relentless attack, spying.
01:45:02.000They want to take Taiwan, they're mad at us.
01:45:04.000We've got an alliance now with Australia sending warships.
01:45:07.000There is a fear that the economic expansion of China will lead to a Thucydides trap type situation which could invoke World War III.
01:45:14.000Now, What we could do is say, maybe perhaps this is the point at which we stop allowing China to buy up our land, buy up our politicians, the Thousand Towns Project, where they're paying professors to sell our research from our tax dollars to their country.
01:45:30.000And all of a sudden, TikTok says, push notification to all our users, and all these people immediately come out like zombies and go, we like the China app now.
01:45:39.000It would be wrong to ban China from buying America.
01:46:14.000When the Republicans made these moves to ban TikTok under Donald Trump and everyone agreed, TikTok's smartest play at that point, which I'll just say hypothetically, maybe happened.
01:46:25.000They immediately bolster specific right-wing accounts on the platform and give them followers.
01:46:31.000So that they can build an addiction among Trump supporters and libertarians so that when it finally came down to it, because they knew they were being threatened, you would get a wave of younger right-wing people being like, no, no, no, no, no, we can't ban TikTok.
01:46:48.000We're now seeing these people, I'm not going to name them, posting screenshots of the front page of TikTok being like, there's no indoctrination here.
01:47:18.000And you've got the active Chinese Communist Party courting our politicians.
01:47:22.000You've got people like Trudeau in Canada saying they wish they were like the Chinese Communist Party, like Xi Jinping.
01:47:27.000And all of a sudden, because of Israel, only because of Israel, Democrats and Republicans have decided TikTok's gone too far.
01:47:35.000And I'm like, I'll take what I can get, I guess.
01:47:38.000Or we can now all of a sudden on this issue decide we are all staunch free market libertarians that allow foreign adversaries that are destroying and attacking our country to operate one of the largest influence platforms in our nation and take control of the minds of our youth, whether that may be socialist or otherwise.
01:47:54.000Yeah, I think the better way would be to force them to free their software code to operate in the states, as opposed to give the president more power and authority over social media, is my personal take.
01:48:04.000Hopefully it'll go— I allowed for Tim's full— We gotta go to Super Chats, we're 17 minutes past.
01:48:48.000We did some lifting today, and I lifted to the point of failure.
01:48:51.000And then once we were wrapping up with, like, the cool-down warm-ups, or the cool-down exercises, not warm-ups, he was like, okay, now we're gonna do some push-ups, and I couldn't do a single push-up at that point.
01:49:55.000Have you been calling your friends and loved ones and telling them about the story as it's breaking so that they know when they see the manipulation in real time, they're like, oh, now I know what you're talking about.
01:50:04.000But you don't tell them about the story.
01:50:05.000You say, hey, look at this video real quick.
01:51:23.000So if you're wondering why American schoolchildren are doing so poorly in school, it's because they are learning trash and not anything worthwhile.
01:51:32.000This is what I discovered when I pulled my son out of school to homeschool him, which I got to say, parents who've been homeschooling this whole time, you guys are heroes.
01:51:40.000I can really only handle it for just the term.
01:52:16.000I don't know, I think he's a Culture War guest.
01:52:18.000But maybe actually, he could probably come on here and comment on the news, that's true.
01:52:23.000One of the reasons we launched the Culture War, subscribe over at Tenet Media, is because there are some guests that are like debate guests and specialists that don't comment on news.
01:52:33.000So we've had people be like, I get emails and they'll be like, you know, so-and-so wants to come on the show and I was like, What is what does this person do?
01:52:42.000And they're like, he's an evolutionary biologist.
01:52:46.000Would he like to talk about Joe Biden's election chances?
01:52:49.000And they're like, well, I mean, and I'm like, this is a topical news show.
01:52:53.000And we have a variety of news commentary personalities, and individuals like musicians and those who are active in political commentary, but the culture war is available for those conversations.
01:53:23.000And he's also, he does commentary on the news, so it's like, you can be a mechanic and comment on the news.
01:53:30.000It was his interview with Tucker Carlson a few months ago that sent me down the rabbit hole of trying to figure out what the hell was going on with the Darien Gap and everything else and that's when I that's when I did the deep dive to figure out about how the United Nations was funding the immigration crisis and it's like this goes so deep and most people are like super super super surface level analysis on this and I just hope that if anything people will continue to do their own research and go deeper to figure out why this is happening.
01:53:53.000Why is it 10x the historical averages?
01:54:36.000She's the one who was supposed to fix the border.
01:54:37.000My rant earlier about the reprehensible people that rule over us, she's like the one that comes to mind right away.
01:54:43.000I'm like, how is she this close to the throne?
01:54:47.000KCB says, Clint, full prisons in a free country is not unjust.
01:54:51.000What is unjust is that criminals know that their victims fear prison more than they do and will not protect themselves or others as a result.
01:54:58.000Well, if you're going to consider yourself the land of the free and you've got more people per capita than almost every other nation on earth, that's pretty over the top.
01:55:08.000Do with that information what you will.
01:55:11.000Okay, let's grab some more Super Chats.
01:55:15.000Uh, Reddit Libertarian says, I will bring you pie soon.
01:56:12.000That's why I'm really excited for this, because when the criminal aliens start going on Zillow and finding all the for-sale properties that are owned by banks, and they just take them all, these banks are gonna be mad.
01:56:27.000I hate to be black-pilled, but the reason that they're not throwing a fit is because they expect, and probably rightfully so, that they will be bailed out in any sort of situation like that.
01:56:40.000The real address is, Tim, I call on you to hire a POC co-host who can talk about people of color.
01:56:47.000Is that a leftist attempt at getting us to do a DEI kind of thing?
01:58:18.000I extrapolated based off of prior injustice perpetrated by the United States federal government.
01:58:23.000And let me also add, since I now have an opportunity to counter what Tim said, It was the Institute of Virology that you're talking about was being funded by your taxpayer dollars with NIH and Anthony Fauci, so you might want to look into that.
01:58:35.000Which is why these are all bad things, and we should stop them.
01:58:39.000Well, let's actually prove that our government is in fact antagonistic with the CCP as opposed to in bed with them, and do we want to empower them further given that they have the closest proximity in terms of power over us?
01:58:50.000I'm pretty sure we are antagonistic when we send warships to the Taiwanese Strait of Taiwan and Australia.
01:58:55.000Then why would it be funding their Institute of Virology?
01:59:00.000I think if you take a holistic view of what happened between the US and China, it's that the US thought we could be good trade partners, and slowly, especially over the past several years, it's begun to break down substantially.
01:59:12.000Notably, when mask manufacturers were based in China, And their companies were based in America, and then when COVID happened, China ordered those ships turn around and bring those masks, and China just outright seized American property.
02:00:59.000China's actually been buying everywhere.
02:01:00.000When I was in Brazil in one of the favelas, I had a bunch of people telling me that large portions of land is being just bought up by China.
02:01:09.000They are owning everything everywhere.
02:01:24.000That way it generates fake wealth and they can put a fake on the books and then they can go to someone else and say, it's a million dollars.
02:01:30.000But what is backing that million dollars?
02:01:32.000I don't know, a 15 by 15 box on a hill with no running water.
02:01:36.000Right. But a lot of the real estate that's being purchased in America by Chinese people
02:01:40.000is being done so because they still perceive the US dollar to be stronger than their local currency.
02:01:44.000Those people are in fact trying to divest themselves of the inflationary process,
02:01:49.000which we're also suffering. So I think that what has made America unique is our
02:01:55.000valuing of property rights and free trade.
02:01:57.000I think that has made us the strongest economy in the world.
02:02:00.000Now, it is a fair debate to be had that should trade policies be reciprocal?
02:02:05.000Should we only have free trade policies with nations that have free trade with us?
02:02:09.000I'm not sure what the correct answer is on that.
02:02:12.000If you want a free market, the answer is yes.
02:02:15.000Well, I'm saying, will you only trade freely with them if they are going to have tariffs against you?
02:02:20.000Because historically, the American answer has been that it's not reciprocal.
02:02:23.000If you are for free market, you cannot engage in trade with someone who does not engage back.
02:02:31.000So if your argument is, we should do commerce with China, we don't want to constrict foreign investors, the issue is that We have great things, and China says, we'd like to buy property in your country.
02:02:58.000I just would prefer diplomacy to remedy that as opposed to increasing the trade wars and the barriers that ultimately lead us towards a hot conflict with a nation with 1.6 billion people and 300 nuclear weapons.
02:03:09.000I do feel like your positions entirely throughout this conversation pertaining to, say, New York, California is capitulation and surrender.
02:03:17.000Well, yeah, I'm not interested in war, Tim.
02:03:34.000You have to prove that we're being aggressed on.
02:03:36.000I think they have to prove that they're not aggressing.
02:03:38.000We're going to carry the conversation over to the Members Only Show, so my friends, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member.
