Starting point is 00:00:00 Today, there was a very tragic event at a Christian school. It was targeted by an individual who was clearly unwell, and there were many people who lost their lives. We'll get into the details of that. We don't know a lot about what happened just yet. Rumors are circulating over the identity of the perpetrator of this mass tragedy. But already we can see the hypocrisy with Democrats calling for gun control, Biden himself. Now, I am just confused by this because it was only, I don't know, like a week ago that
Starting point is 00:00:32 a CEO lost his life in an assassination and Joe Biden did not issue any calls for gun control. And Democrats largely just shut up while many of the more liberal leftist voter base cheered for it and are seeking to profit off of it. Now, I know you may be saying these leftists are deranged. They don't represent Democrats. Let me just point out the point of contention. Joe Biden calling for gun control now, but not back then. What separates these incidents? They're tragedies. Well, fine. I don't think gun control is the answer, but we're going to talk about this. And again, there's a lot of rumors as to the identity of the individual, but I don't think we know anything for sure just yet.
Starting point is 00:01:08 But we will talk about what is being reported. And then, of course, we have the drone story. The rumors over the weekend is that nuclear material has gone missing. I believe this to be largely exaggerated, but it is true. And many believe that these drones are actually government drones searching for nuclear material. That may be the case, but I do think we we're just not going to know. And panicking or hyping up rumors certainly not going to help anybody. And then in more, I guess, kind of horrifying but funny news, CNN may have accidentally committed treason. CNN filmed this segment where they freed a prisoner from an Assad prison.
Starting point is 00:01:44 As it turns out, it's being reported the individual is actually working for the Assad regime as part of the Assad, the Syrian Air Force, and was known to be a torturer, an extortionist. And CNN freed help, freed the man and provide him with food. So, you know, I just aiding and abetting enemies of this country is largely what they consider treason. But now I get it. I'm being somewhat tongue in cheek. I don't think CNN knowingly was intending to assist the Assad regime forces. It's a funny story nonetheless.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Before we get into all of that stuff, my friends, head over to castbrew.com. Yo, guess what? Two weeks till Christmas, Phil's Holiday Gingerbread Coffee is now available. Phil, what say you? I say get it. All right, cast Casper.com.

Starting point is 00:04:03 Most importantly, you're joining the mission. The world is changing. And I've been warning about this for some time. But the big corporate players are coming back. They're not just going to sit down and give up. These next four years are going to be crucial, not just in the political space. Certainly, Donald Trump's victory has and Republicans victory has been a big sign of success and victory. But the next move that needs to be made is making sure we can entrench ourselves culturally and those of us in this space do more to make sure that the narrative machine does not strike back. So smash that like button, share the show with
Starting point is 00:04:36 everyone you know, become a member like I mentioned. Joining us tonight to talk about this and a whole lot more is Richie McGinnis. Thanks for having me. Welcome back, sir. Who are you? What do you do? I'm Richie McGinnis. I had a front row seat to some of the least peaceful protests in American history. And I just released a book called Riot Diet. And you can read all about the narrative machine and what it's like to get caught up in there. So what are a few of these moments? I mean, you were there. You were literally standing next to the dude in Kenosha after he attacked Rhouse, after he attacked Rittenhouse, Rittenhouse fired on him.
Starting point is 00:05:07 You actually rendered aid to the guy and you were there on January 6th. You basically been literally everywhere. I was in the Chaz. I was in Portland. I was in D.C., New York, Kenosha, Wauwatosa, the border. I went to Rudy's apartment to get the Hunter Biden laptop. And that was I laptop and that was I mean that was an experience and this Riot Diet 1 goes through Kenosha
Starting point is 00:05:32 and then Riot Diet 2 covers everything on the MAGA side We got a lot to talk about so thanks for returning good sir Richie McGinnis we got Shane hanging out. Of all those places all those events what was your favorite? The favorite was the Chaz because that was like, I mean, it was definitely
Starting point is 00:05:49 crazy and there was some scary moments, but the Chaz is like just a bizarre culture. I mean, it was its own country within the United States. Was that with the rapper Overlord? Yeah, so that chapter is called Lord of the Chaz and the warlord's name is Raz.
Starting point is 00:06:06 That's awesome. Raz the Chaz. And it was Lord of the Flies. I'm Shane Cashman. I'm the host of Inverted World Live, author of books. Hi, Phil. Hi, how you doing? Richie, I have a question for you.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Considering you've been to all of these riots and stuff, do you feel like you're the reason for the riots? Do people get excited that Richie's coming? Well, that's why I think I have to retire. I spent, I think, one too many times, ended up being part of the story. But that is part of what the book is about, is, you know, the difference between the observer and the observed. Awesome. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I am Phil Labonte. I am the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Let's go. Well, here's the shocking news. We'll start off right off the bat with the story. Abundant Life Christian School was targeted today. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporting student and teacher killed in Madison
Starting point is 00:06:49 school shooting that also left shooter dead, six others injured. We don't know a lot about this. This is a private Christian school that was targeted. There are a lot of rumors circulating right now. The rumors are that the shooter was a young teenager who attended the school and was a radical feminist. But again, I don't know that any of that is true. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says the horror of a school shooting struck the Madison area for the second time in seven months on Monday when police say a teenager shot eight people before taking their own life at a private Christian school. In total, a student and teacher were killed and six were injured. Two of them are in critical condition with life threatening injuries.
Starting point is 00:07:30 They're going to mention shock and grief across Wisconsin as news of the shooting at Abundant Life School spread Monday. As police methodically cleared the K through 12 school, which sits on a 28 acre campus with a preschool and a church. City buses took students to a clinic down the road serving as a reunification point. Some children peered at the bus windows, waving to news crews gathered near the school. Thanks for letting us know that you news crews were getting attention from the children who are fleeing a tragic event. Now, we don't know exactly what happened. They say around 10.57 a.m., dispatchers received the call. There are a lot of rumors. Initial rumors was that it was a trans person. I think this was largely due to the police saying we don't know the gender. And then everyone basically said, well, if we don't know the gender of the person and they're staring at the person, it must be an ambiguous individual. I don't think
Starting point is 00:08:07 that's the case. I think the police just genuinely didn't know. But there is a lot of information going around. Andy Ngo has a Twitter thread making some assertions, I would call it, or I should say reporting on this, though I have not confirmed any of this. I personally believe some of this to be incorrect, but I don't know for sure. So far be it for me to say Andy, no, is or is not right. But this is what he's reported. He said that it was a 15 year old girl. I'm not going to say the name of the individual who had carried out the mass shooting in the school library, according to the source, using the name online as Sam, despite that not being the individual's name and the on the username online cross six, sir. She had the username online, cross6sir,
Starting point is 00:08:46 she had an extensive online obsession with school shooters and death, particularly the Columbine high school shooting. The individual was a big fan of KMFDM Rock Band, which also referenced by one of the Columbine shooters. She often wore the shirt of the band. This individual's online friends identified the account, which reported to belong to the shooter soon after news broke.
Starting point is 00:09:03 So I saw this and I immediately asked, how are we confirming any of this? And I don't know that it's been confirmed. I don't know if you guys have seen anything confirming any of this information. No, I saw someone else said it was a 17 year old. You know, yeah. So, you know, it was tough because when we're getting ready to do when we're doing pre-production, obviously, this is the big story right now. We're wondering what the motivations of this individual was, why they targeted a Christian
Starting point is 00:09:23 school. It may be as simply as they attended the school. It may be ideologically motivated. We just really don't know. And rumors are flying as this is dominating the news cycle. But in front of that, we can get into what the development is. And we have this from Milwaukee Journal. Biden calls for tougher gun control laws after Madison, Wisconsin school shooting an abundant life Christian school, issuing a press
Starting point is 00:09:45 release almost immediately after this, which I find to be I'm sorry, I call it despicable. Biden says we need Congress to act now from Newtown to Uvalde Parkland to Madison. So many of their shootings that don't receive attention. He says Jill and I are praying for all the victims today, including the teacher and teenage student that were killed and those who sustained injuries. He says we can never accept census violence that traumatizes children, their families and tears entire communities apart. I just want to throw out there as we're getting going. Biden, where was your statement after the CEO was shot in the back by a deranged ideologue? Allegedly, I think it's rather interesting that when it's cold blooded murder in public,
Starting point is 00:10:21 Democrats are nowhere to be found except for those saying, well, murder is wrong. But then when you get a tragedy like this, which, of course, is a tragedy, Democrats pop up immediately and try and push for these laws. It's very frustrating that they immediately go to the politically useful topic, which is gun control and ignore. And when it comes to people that they are ostensibly aligned with or people that ostensibly align with things the left thinks, they're silent. When Joe Biden's son breaks the law and commits a felony on a 4477, the form you fill out to get a gun, He lies on the form. He pardons him so that way he doesn't have to deal with the consequences. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:11:10 It's absolutely par for the course, though. It is not unexpected. It is exactly what you would anticipate. It goes to a Christian school, which people will argue that Christians are not targeted. And again, I'm an agnostic, So like, it's not like I'm the guy that's like, Oh, you're attacking me. Cause I, I don't identify as a Christian, but like you're attacking Christians. And the only thing they have to say is the guns, right? The fact that the LGBTQ, uh, lobby has been as anti-Christian and going after Christians for as long as they have.
Starting point is 00:11:46 The whole, the cake, the cake maker in Colorado, that was not about cakes. That was all about getting back at Christians because they hate Christians. They feel the LGBTQ lobby feels like they've been persecuted by Christians and they feel like now is the time for us to get them back. And this is the same kind of attitude. And I think it's disgusting that no one in the Democrat side will even address the realities of the situation. The only thing you hear is, well, you know, gun control. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Well, Biden, he implied that Kyle Rittenhouse was a white supremacist after the Kenosha shooting with absolutely zero evidence whatsoever. You know, just because he had some posts that supported Donald Trump. Like, okay, so then they make that leap. And it's just terrible to see these kinds of tragedies get turned into these political issues that, you know, just trying to score points. Politicians love turning dead children
Starting point is 00:12:37 into human shields for their policy. That's their favorite thing. You know, no sympathy for CEOs. I get it. You know, a teacher and a kid, it's very—look, I'm sorry. I think life is valuable. Life is precious. Individuals have their more worth.
Starting point is 00:12:52 But children being killed is substantially more heinous than an adult individual. But I look at both of them like there's weight to these. We try to figure out what we as a society are supposed to be doing and how we should react to these situations. I don't believe that gun control is the appropriate response, but I do, I will stress that when it is alleged that a deranged leftist murdered a CEO for insane reasons that make no sense, there's not a peep. They don't care at all. Bernie Sanders comes out, and once again, you got Elizabeth Warren saying, look, you know, it's bad, but people can only be pushed so far. Bernie Sanders defends her. I think he defended her twice now saying, look, of course, she's not condoning murder.
Starting point is 00:13:33 But the people in this country, I'm like, stop saying that. This is these are these are unrelated. The issue of a CEO being shot in the back and killed is totally unrelated to the issue of health care. When Bernie and Warren say, but people can only push so far, they're literally saying that they believe the assassination will make a difference in health care, that people are targeting them to make a difference. It won't. It makes no difference. Charlemagne, the guy, did you hear what he said about this? No. He was like, I don't understand why they're celebrating this. It's some father who died. Nothing changed. Prices aren't going down. Health care isn't changing. Literally everything stayed the same, except that some dad, some guy who is a father of two is just dead. Why are you celebrating this? And now they just have more security.
Starting point is 00:14:13 That's more security, less transparency. So my point ultimately is these people are deranged ideologues. This the fact that they dumped this political statement out so quickly is shockingly offensive. I'm not surprised. Biden is fried. He's selling off the border while Trump's calling him out over this. These people are despicable. They don't care about kids. This is so fake to me. If they cared about kids, they wouldn't want to cut off their genitals.
Starting point is 00:14:38 They literally sacrifice their children all the time. And they use this as an example to set the policy of taking the guns away which is what they do want to do they don't want you to be armed how many like you how many abortions are carried out every year dude it's a stupid amount i mean is one is too much is it millions is it actually millions yeah i think it's you know i i don't i haven't looked at that but i mean there's not a you know the the left is pro-abortion. 73 million worldwide. 73 million abortions per year carried out. And there are roughly 10,000 murders with firearms in the year,
Starting point is 00:15:15 every year in the United States. We don't hear about Chicago. And you don't, yeah. That's the other thing. It is, the Democrats have such a warped view of the or the left. Let's call it the left, because I would like to see the normal Democrats come back. But the left has such an absolutely disgustingly warped view of the world. They literally believe evil is good and good is evil.
Starting point is 00:15:38 It's as flipped upside down as you possibly can be. And I think that there have been signs for this for a long time i mean when when um michelle wolf i think her name is when she did the shout your abortion um skit on some i think it was on colbert show i thought it was on her show was it on her show she had a show on that got canceled shortly right yeah i mean that was repugnant and i was talking to a democrat trying to explain to this person. I was like, listen, I understand that you care about, you know, you care about a woman being able to have the choice to have an abortion or not. I get it. But don't you see that the people that are working against you, the right, the pro-life people, when they see Michelle Wolf doing shout your abortion they think that woman is a literal ghoul in the actual dictionary definitional uh terms of of what a ghoul is like celebrating death that's exactly what she's doing and then
Starting point is 00:16:35 they tell us they they tell us that we're supposed to to be like oh you have to get rid of your guns even though the people that the people that legally own guns in the united states are the most law-abiding citizens in the country of all the groups that you could possibly all the different ways that you could possibly group people the people that own guns and have firearms as a hobby or have them for self-defense are the most law-abiding americans in the country and those people have to give up their rights because someone took, misused a firearm, not, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:08 every, and every person that's a gun owner would, would condemn it every single one. But then again, they'll go ahead and they'll, and they'll be like, look, you gotta be able to kill babies.
Starting point is 00:17:16 And look, man, you gotta, you gotta understand that people are mad. So when you, when, when this guy shoots a CEO in the back, like a coward,
Starting point is 00:17:24 you gotta go ahead and you gotta give him a little leeway it is disgusting the left in the united states is completely and totally feels completely and totally free to say the most atrocious heinous vile evil things just go to blue sky and look at the way they talk oh dude well shout out to alex rosen for yes all those people absolutely a blue sky. But this is funny. It's like when you create a MAGA version of Twitter like Parler or Truth, they're all saying like, no more bad things. We don't want bad people.
Starting point is 00:17:55 We want accountability. And when you make a liberal version, it's a whole bunch of deranged fetishists and pedos all like just it's look so like half of dc yeah it's funny i called the pool filter of modern society it's good that it exists and i'm glad they launched it because all of the refuse of is being filtered out of x we don't we don't we don't need those weird lunatics over here you know we don't we don't want any of that yeah i'm glad i'm glad it's crazy though they're bloodthirsty like what phil's saying they are they have bloodless and you saying that makes me think of chaz yeah you know these places you saw bloodthirsty and then they gave up the police precinct carmen best who was the first female and the first black police commissioner in seattle's
Starting point is 00:18:38 history capitulated the east precinct to the protesters and what was the first thing that they did after they took over the six block area, they created not, not walls, but barriers, you should be in jail, put up barriers, and they put armed guards at the barriers. So the first night we were in Chaz, we interviewed a kid who I'm not even kidding. You had a needle point. I have a photo of it in the book, a needle point belt that was holstering a desert Eagle that was swinging around as he was swinging around. And I go, dude, that's a pretty interesting holster. He got there. He's like, oh yeah, my mom made it. I'm like, you couldn't even, if I, if I made that up, you would say that there's
Starting point is 00:19:15 no way. Didn't innocent kids die at Chaz or was that? So yes, at the end of Chaz, Chaz was shut down after not one, but two black kids, 19 and 16 years old, were killed. And my question that I ask in the book is all these companies, major corporations that are based in Seattle, they're donating hundreds of millions of dollars to Black Lives Matter and related causes. Do they donate to those kids' families? Of course not. Of course not, because they don't care about kids. They care about their favorite language, which is violence to obtain power.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Yeah. Well, let's violence to obtain power. Yeah. Well, let's jump to this next story from James O'Keefe. While we're on the subject of Joe Biden being despicable, I think it's important to point out now in the earlier segment, we were discussing Joe Biden calling for gun control, but Joe Biden is gone. He's gone. We have this video from James O'Keefe, shocking undercover video, quote, Joe Biden is dead. National Security Council adviser inside the White House details Biden can't say a sentence. Henry Appel, a former spy who currently works the intelligence program programs directorate for the N.C. NSC reveals we are concerned about Trump coming after us.
Starting point is 00:20:22 We are trauma bonded. There were a lot of tears. Heavens me. Let's just play the intro and see what James in a year. Wow. Henry Appel, an advisor for the National Security Council. Henry Appel shared that President Biden had called the NSC White House phone while on a foreign trip looking for NSC advisor Jake Sullivan. Henry told the president that in fact, Mr. Sullivan was not at the White House, but on the same foreign trip fact, Mr. Sullivan was not at the White House, but on the same foreign trip as President Biden.
Starting point is 00:21:06 My boss was on an international trip with him, like Europe or something. The phone rang in the office and I was like, well, this president, Henry, he was like, he's safe there. He's like, no, he's traveling with you. He's on the same, he's traveling with you. Wow. He's on the same trip that you are. In another encounter with President Biden, Henry Appel from the National Security Council revealed a phone call exchange.
Starting point is 00:21:33 On the call, Biden was asking for NSC advisor Jake Sullivan. Henry told Biden that Sullivan had left the office for the day. Biden stated he would call Sullivan's personal phone. Instead, Biden called the same office but I can try to get him. I'm going for you. He like asked me some questions. I was like, I don't know, like let me get the tracker down. And that's called a Secret Service detail.
Starting point is 00:22:14 And I'll send him a phone. It's like, I'll try his like unconspired phone. Like, then like 10 seconds later, same phone. I picked it up again. I was like, hi again, it's Henry. He was like, is Dave there? I was like, no, you called the same office. Henry Appel stated that President Biden did not understand basic words in meetings at the White House.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Another time my boss went in to brief him, I had heard the talking points. I said like, oh, this is like a novel, a novel or something. I guess I'm like, it's new. Like, it hasn't been done before. I said it. I was like, like, what do you mean? Like a book? Wow. There's a lot more here. But I think the important thing that he said was, I'm surprised it wasn't the bigger scandal earlier.
Starting point is 00:23:04 This is what's fascinating about the work of James O'Keefe, the undercover videos that Crowder has done. The corporate press is such a thin veneer at this point. You can see through it like there's nothing even there. There's a guy standing in front of you, but we're looking right past him and we can see Joe Biden has been gone for a long time. And the only reason it wasn't a scandal sooner is because I got to be honest, I think collectively all the Democrats just know they're lying. Didn't believe Joe Scarborough. Yeah, he was the best Biden.
Starting point is 00:23:31 No, look, I know that Joe Scarborough is a liar. I know that Joe Scarborough knows he's lying. But I think actually that the average Democrat voter knows they're lying, too. And they're just saying it because they think that's what they're supposed to say. You think it took up until that first debate with Trump for them to be like, for the average voter to be like, whoa, this guy is not right. Or do they know beforehand? I think, I think most Democrats knew and they're all look, come on. There's this viral video where, uh, it's, it's Ted Cruz. And I can't remember who he's talking to, but he asks about
Starting point is 00:24:04 men and women's sports. And he's like, who he's talking to, but he asks about men and women's sports. And he's like, what is the purpose of women's sports? And she says something like, sports are a great way. And he goes, no, no, no, no, no. What is the point of women's sports? And then he pulls up a study, like a study was done in 2017 that found that women's records, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, wait, wait, guys, guys, we as human beings of rational thought do not need scientific studies to tell us men run faster, jump farther, lift more, et cetera, et cetera. These people know this too. These Democrats know they're all just lying because they think that's what they're supposed to say to adhere to their cult. So that's the same thing with this. When he says, I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger scandal
Starting point is 00:24:43 earlier. Well, yeah, you're in a cult, dude. It's a cult. They know the truth. They just won't say it. I knew a guy who was in a cult, and they believed that you couldn't die. And then when someone did die, they went through all the mental loopholes of how to explain this way. He must have not been a true believer, all these things. That proves it.
Starting point is 00:25:01 But this is the same thing. You're in a cult, and all of a sudden this person is dead. We've known Joe Biden's dead. I mean, me personally for 30 years, maybe just a few years, but like it's been very obvious. But obviously right now, I think it's hard for me to say this. We have to draw the distinction between we are saying he is figuratively dead. I'm saying literally dead. No, no, no. This is a clone, but go on. What I mean is because of the prospect of Joe Biden's old age that he may be nearing the end of his life, I think it's important to stress we're talking about figuratively is the quote,
Starting point is 00:25:32 because if you said to somebody that Joe Biden has died, they'll be like, well, yeah, I mean, he's gone. But what he's saying is, and again, I have to clarify this because Joe Biden may be not long for this world. I mean, no disrespect. Yeah, it almost makes you feel bad for him. Yeah. Because I lost my dad to brain cancer and there's no nerve endings in your brain. And so when that's happening, you know, like they're not really aware of it. Like my dad would like, you know, he'd take like a bottle off the ground and he'd like he hadn't smoked in years and he'd like try to smoke a water bottle,
Starting point is 00:26:05 you know, like, and you're just, he has no clue what's going on. If you just, you feel bad for the guy he's put in this situation. I just, quick question.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Who's running the country? Donald Trump. That's actually, that's true. A bunch of bureaucrats, a bunch of bureaucrats is the answer. No, but,
Starting point is 00:26:21 but Trump is actually doing more as president than Biden's doing as doing as president internationally he's there they respond the internationally countries are responding to donald trump as if he's in charge now they're sure the bureaucracies here in the u.s haven't started you know have there hasn't been the changes necessary and there's there's likely attempts by the biden uh administration to do a little bit of hamstring, like selling off the wall parts and stuff like that. But for the most part, like the whole country is responding to Donald Trump as if Donald Trump is running the country because Donald Trump is running the country. The whole world. Well, I think that also that question, I mean, so if you're, if Joe Biden isn't running the country and there are a bunch of allegedly smart people who are, then with, I went to the border in 2021, right after Biden got elected, they had contracts on
Starting point is 00:27:11 that wall that they literally had already paid out. And people were just sitting in trailers while the wall was just rusting in a lot. And you have to ask yourself if there are smart people who are making those decisions, like what is their agenda? is their agenda collapse yeah i mean that i don't have any other answer than you know by the biden admin is selling off the border wall they are intentionally sabotaging this country there's for pennies on the dollar it's intentional at that point it has to be there's no there's no question because they're not making money if it was like we're at a budget shortfall let's sell this they wouldn't just be giving it away. They're ripping apart the material. Trump talked about this in a press conference.
Starting point is 00:27:47 He said, please, Biden, stop doing this. This is this is reminiscent. And like, I'm not trying to make allusions to the worst people of the 20th century. But and I'm not saying the Democrats are like the Nazis, but when you have a party that clearly has lost, you know, lost the plot by doubling down on the bad things that they're doing, as opposed to doing good things, like when the Nazis knew that they, they could either, either stop killing Jews or, and, and hopefully like do like help their position in the war, they doubled down on killing Jews. Like, and so like do like help their position in the war they double down on killing jews like and so like that's kind of what biden is doing it's like he could stop doing things that
Starting point is 00:28:32 hurt the country but and and try and help with the transition but instead he's decided to double down on doing things that hurt the country his whole career has been for evil like that's why i don't feel sympathy for him right like he has been a career demon for decades and i uh why I don't feel sympathy for him. He's been a career demon for decades and I feel no sympathy for him at all. I think it's sad when it's old people outside of this guy, but this guy has...
Starting point is 00:28:56 Look what he just... He just granted clemency to a judge who was selling kids... Or the dude with the kiddie porn. Kiddie, sorry. Well, I guess I'm not allowed to say. Well, the dude with the. Right, the Chinese. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Dude. Tens of thousands. Yeah, the diddler. And that's either Biden doing it. I don't think it is. I think it's a network of people behind Biden doing these things. But he has had a career of doing this. Well, you know, there's a big story that there's this Chinese national who had all these images of extreme.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Yeah. Tens of thousands. And 47,000. that there's this Chinese national who had all these images of extreme child torture. And 47,000, and he gets commuted, his sentence commuted, and he gets deported along with two others. They say this was part of a prisoner exchange, which will bring back wrongly imprisoned Americans. And my attitude was kind of like, man, you know, I don't know. Let me ask you guys this question. If you were, I'll say this. If I was imprisoned in China and the federal government said, Tim, we're going to get you out and we have to free
Starting point is 00:29:52 this guy to do it. I'd be like, no, I'm staying right here. Like, I don't know. What do you think? Like, I don't know if that trade makes sense. That person is a demon who has committed, this is a guy with 47,000 images of child torture. OK, and I'm saying that it's it's. I'm going to leave it at that. I don't know, man. I can't speak for the individual who was wrongly imprisoned in China. But if for me, I'd be like, I am not accepting.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Why do the Chinese want him is the question. So what kind of compromising information does that guy have on maybe American citizens or something like, why do the Chinese want this guy with those kind of crimes back when they have a social credit system over there? But here's the question for you guys. If you were asked, you're wrongly imprisoned in insert country. We can free you, but we have to release that guy to do it. Would you be like, yeah, do it. I want to come home. Or would you be like, no.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I'm getting out and I'm hunting him down. You can ask Sam tomorrow because he was in Syrian prison. So maybe he'll have a good answer for that. Yeah. I mean, he's being sent back to China and we have no guarantees that this I mean, the things that this guy had are crimes against humanity. The other guys were spies. So a prisoner exchange for spies. I kind of roll my eyes and I'm like, OK, fine. But the issue ultimately is I don't know. I'll put it this way. I believe that Joe Biden actually did these things because there's compromising information on him with what they were doing in China, Ukraine, Russia, all this stuff. Him or his family. Him or his family.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I mean, this is back against the wall. There's no other choice. The judge who was selling kids. Yeah. So if that's another story, there was more than, there were multiple judges, I believe, right? It was a judge and some other person in authority. I don't, it wasn't a judge, but yeah, in Pennsylvania. No, it was a judge. I believe it was in Michigan. Okay. There's another one then. Jeez. Yeah. Wasn't this the one that
Starting point is 00:31:39 selling kids to the prison industrial complex? Yeah. So the story along, I don't know which one he pardoned, but the story was there have been several judges and there would be a kid who, I think one of the stories, they got into a fight in school. So when he got arrested, the judge said, off to juvie with ye. And it was supposed to be something like a couple of weeks for getting into a fight, which still seems a bit excessive. Then the kid got in trouble in juvie and the judge said, you're staying.
Starting point is 00:32:03 And it was because the private prisons were getting paid to have these kids there. And then they were paying the judge to make sure the kids kept coming in the pipeline. Same thing happened in New York. There was a judge in upstate New York got in trouble for the same thing about five or six years ago. Yeah. And then BLM, they're all, you know, oh, Trump is the worst thing in the world. And wait, what's the alternative here? And there was like a moment where we were in Philly in October
Starting point is 00:32:27 and this one protester just spoke up. She was like, you're telling me that the author of the federal crime bill and the top cop, Kamala Harris, are your saviors? Are you kidding me? And it just goes to show like the most motivating thing that I saw out on the ground was, yes, all cops are B words. But also, if they really wanted to get the crowd riled up, they'd say, what do you guys think of Donald Trump? F Donald Trump. And everyone say F Donald Trump. So that was the really unifying factor over
Starting point is 00:32:55 anything else. It's a cult. They have no logical unifying principle. They have a follow what the cult follows. That's it. This is another good example of how the left, how they are right now, don't care about kids. Joe Biden has the opportunity to champion his deceased son, Beau Biden, who went after literal pedophiles in, oh, I'm spacing on the state now that they're from Delaware, Delaware, not Alabama, but like horrible cases turned down being, um, uh, I forget Senate, I think in that state to go after these people, you never hear Joe talk about that. He's did all this stuff to take care of really, really evil people, a pediatrician who hurt like thousands of kids in that state. And Joe only ever says he was a hero. He died at war, which is also a lie. You know, uh, He didn't really die at war.
Starting point is 00:33:46 That's a whole other thing. Well, he probably said that because of dementia. Yeah, and the clones start to decay. But how do you not champion that? If you cared about the well-being of kids, your son did a really great thing. Didn't always win and do what I think could have been better in terms of punishment.
Starting point is 00:34:04 But why does he not talk about that? Because he's commuting the sentence of judges who are selling kids into prison. So the dude is possessed. Let's jump to the story from the New York Post. This one, it's wild. Prisoner. Okay, so CNN filmed themselves freeing a prisoner. Now they say the guards did the freeing, but they were there providing food and water to this man. It has not been reported the prisoner they helped free was actually a notorious Assad
Starting point is 00:34:29 regime torturer. I did not have CNN accidentally commits treason on my 2024 bingo card. They've been committing treason for 10 years. They interviewed Osama bin Laden. No, no, no. Hold on. Again, I hate to be so pedantic, but insulting CNN and say that they betray this country with their lies is one thing. This is CNN's news crew literally providing aid and comfort to an Assad regime torturer, reportedly, and that is an enemy of the United States.
Starting point is 00:35:01 The U.S. is aligned with the Free Syrian Army, and they are in opposition to Assad. We have criticized him and consider him an enemy. And they're providing aid to one of his Air Force personnel. And OK, look, let's be serious. They're not committing treason because they didn't know what they were doing. OK, this is an accidentally aiding this guy. But it is hilarious because not one person at CNN, not Clarissa Ward, the reporter, her crew, or anyone at CNN stopped to be like, hey, I think this guy's lying. A little bit of vetting here. His fingernails are totally clean cut. He has a well-trimmed beard.
Starting point is 00:35:34 His skin is totally hydrated. He's standing up and walking just fine. He's claiming to have not seen light in three months, but he's looking up at the sky with no problem. Maybe this is a guy who's trying to escape from rebels by pretending to be somebody else. And they got him out. I think they knew, dude. Have you guys all seen the video when they say turn off the camera for the shooting part? To shoot the lock off the door?
Starting point is 00:35:56 I was like, this is... It's fake. Because you can't do that. I mean, that stuff is all staged. You can see there's a split second of what's-her-name Ward just off to the side of the camera when they're getting the blanket off the guy. She's acting. It looks so fake. And she's yelling in English at him.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Come on. Is anyone there? Hello? It's like, dude, you're in Syria. Come on. And then the guy stands up and he's like, I have not eaten or had anything to drink in five days. It's like, bro, that's not true. He's reading lines off his palm.
Starting point is 00:36:21 My favorite line, of course, was, where's the poop? I don't remember that. His prison cell had no poop anywhere. He's been left in there for five days. What is he doing? Holding it in? No. Good point. That's well, it's not why someone commented saying where's the poop? And I'm like, that's a good question. So everybody was saying it's clearly fake. There were a few funny posts where like, what are the chances this guy's like Al Qaeda and he's trying to escape? So he's masquerading. he's pretending to be a civilian, and CNN just helped him escape? Well, as it turns out...
Starting point is 00:36:48 Well, I lived in the Middle East, and over there, everything is so tribal that you can hear a person's last name and know exactly what tribe they're from. You can see what they look like. There's an entire tribe of red-bearded, ginger Syrians. And so it's like if they had to just maybe talk to somebody who's on the ground over there, an actual Arab, then maybe they would have learned the truth.
Starting point is 00:37:12 But I guess vetting isn't a thing that CNN does. It immediately made me think of Brian Williams saying his helicopter was shot down. Remember that story? Yeah. Unreal. Someone's super-chatted saying that the guy may already be dead. The guy that was freed?
Starting point is 00:37:27 Yeah, I don't know if that's true or not. It's just a super chat. His blood's on CNN's hands. You know, he was a liability to someone if he is. I think CNN are really, really, they're dumb people. But I just got to say, like, how does, there's no Qa at cnn i mean i mean come on richie you've made videos before well i had to fight to correct the record cnn after kenosha said mcginnis supported the conservative claim that rittenhouse acted in self-defense after my appearance on
Starting point is 00:37:56 tucker carlson i was like i literally stated objective observations of why kyle said he was there and you're claiming that i'm a witness in the impending trial and you can have me on to correct the record or prepare for court. And they did have me on to correct the record, but I wouldn't even have been able to go on CNN if they hadn't have screwed up so badly. Imagine what happened. CNN films this scenario that is so obviously fake. A child would be like, huh? They take the edit, hand it off to a producer or an editor who then watches and goes whoa all it's her yeah here we go yeah and the boss and everybody they were like wow and even jake tapper was like look at that wow and i'm like bro you expect me to believe that all of you are that stupid there are no good guys over there right so the guy that's taking that's in
Starting point is 00:38:42 charge now is a former member of al-qaeda likely killed americans asad has has done horrible things to his own people there are no good guys so to go over there and behave like this like just because they're in asad's jail they're automatically like someone that we should should support or we should be happy that we freed we shouldn't they should not have been there helping to get people and in any kind of capacity helping to get people out and as soon as the dude was like oh i'm gonna shoot the lock off i don't care what happened to the reality of it or not they should have been like see ya we're out of here because there's no way of knowing who that guy was at least when you're on the ground there there's no way of knowing who the guy was and
Starting point is 00:39:24 because of the context because of where they are and the things that have been happening for the past 15 years in Syria, he's likely a horrible, horrible monster, whether he's on Assad's side or the rebel side. I would just say to everybody out there, if you're in a small hallway that is four feet by five feet and someone with a rifle says they're going to shoot the lock off, please exit the building. And if it's happening in America, like you might want to call for help or beg them not to do that. That's what they do in movies. That's not a real thing. We all saw the story of the journalist getting shot because those Democrats were firing rifles at steel plates from 15 feet away and the bullet fragmented, fired back and hit the guy in the arm.
Starting point is 00:40:07 He started bleeding. What do you think is going to happen if you're in a tight hallway and you fire this rifle at a lock on a steel door? Look, man, I have I have a picture on my I think it's on my Instagram page, but I definitely put it up on X. I had a nice big gash on the bridge of my nose because i was shooting my rifle at my on my property and i was shooting at steel and i was a little too close i had my my safety glasses on but i took a piece of spall and it cut me right on the bridge of my nose and and it was bleeding like mad you don't shoot metal when you're like standing right there you just don't do it i don't think they shot anything though i mean like i i get it but i don't think that because we don't hear it right it just fades to black and then all of a sudden they're opening the door i don't think they shot anything, though. I mean, I get it, but I don't think that because we don't hear it. Right. It just fades to black.
Starting point is 00:40:46 And then all of a sudden they're opening the door. I don't think I mean, you're totally right. But this whole thing is staged. And that says a lot about what how they feel about the audience. You think that CNN from the get go was in on orchestrating and playing it out? I do. I do. It's hard to it's hard to reason otherwise
Starting point is 00:41:05 because what the the rebels bring in clarissa ward and say yeah we're doing all of these things and she's just like you got it and they think they can get away with it well i i mean richie you you've been on the ground a lot of various news stories do you think cnn was in on the thing the whole time i think that cnn probably staged all of the things that we're talking about and played it up, but were too dumb to vet the guy. You think they did stage it? I think that they staged, yeah, basically that they were doing a dog and pony show and one of the guys on the ground was like, oh yeah, come free this guy. He was like an insider or whatever it was. And they were like, we'll set it up like you're freeing him.
Starting point is 00:41:43 I worked at Syrian Support Group in 2012, right after I graduated college. And it was the only lobbying group licensed by the treasury to operate on behalf of the Syrian opposition. And I studied Arabic in college five days a week for an hour a day. I studied Middle Eastern history. And the moment that I decided I didn't want to do anything with my Arabic because I didn't agree with anything the government was doing over there was when I saw basically the the generals who were defecting for a secular government were not viewed as as powerful a Force to fight against Bashar al-assad. So we were funding through proxies like Saudi Arabia These radical Islamist rebels like Jabhat al-Nusra, which became effectively ISIS a couple
Starting point is 00:42:25 years down the road. And I realized that whether it's the Israelis or the Americans or the Saudis, they would rather have the bad guy that they know, a bunch of idiots running around with AK-47s, which give them an excuse to project their power into that power vacuum rather than having an actually, I mean, does Turkey want a strong secular Sunni government? No, because it's a Sunni majority in Syria. Does Saudi Arabia want that? No. So do we want that? No. So they'd rather have a power vacuum where now the Israelis are already moving into the Golan Heights and that's just, it's an opportunity for a power grab. Yep. Well, I think that the situation in Syria, whoever is like the, or the rebels that are in charge, I think it's most likely that it's going to be a re a recreation of the of ISIS, of the Islamic State. You know, they I wouldn't be surprised if they declare themselves the home of the caliphate in the next five years.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Yeah, the timing is convenient, too. I mean, right at the end of the Biden administration, you have to ask yourself of who were the people who really like tip the scale to make sure that Assad goes before Trump takes power. I mean, maybe Assad is better because Assad was at least was staying in his his borders. He wasn't he wasn't I don't to my knowledge, he wasn't attacking Turkey. He wasn't attacking Israel or Lebanon. He wasn't attacking Jordan. So maybe he is better if they are if if it is the like recreation of ISIS. I wouldn't be surprised to see them move West into parts of Iraq. I wouldn't be surprised to see the U S have to send in covert, uh, um,
Starting point is 00:44:08 covert operators to try to, to defend us bases that are still in Iraq because they're, you know, to try and, uh, limit their, their ability to, to,
Starting point is 00:44:18 as I'm by they, I mean, limit the, uh, ISIS's ability to, to expand and stuff. It wouldn't surprise me at all. So I don't,
Starting point is 00:44:24 I don't, I don't think that helping Assad would have been a good idea surprise me at all. So I don't think that helping Assad would have been a good idea, but I don't think... Well, it's a mess. Yes, he's no good guy. That's what I said. Here's what I realized in studying the region and living over there is these borders were specifically drawn by the colonial powers not to have
Starting point is 00:44:40 a national country with a collective identity, but to specifically divide up all the different sectarian groups and make sure that you split the Kurds in half. You give Saddam Hussein, who's Sunni, 30% of the population in Iraq, the power because he's a minority group. So he's going to say, sure, yeah, Brits. Yeah, I'll work with you guys if you give me the power.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Well, Saddam wasn't in charge when they made the- Well, not at that time, but it was the same principle that was applied. And, and Assad is a bath. It's just like Saddam quote unquote secular. But with that being said, everything is trouble tribal over there. And so it was all the Sunnis who get all the good government jobs.
Starting point is 00:45:15 And this country was literally built not to function without a colonial power running it. And my question is, it's like, why is America inheriting all the sins of the British and French colonial empires? Like, why is America inheriting all the sins of the British and French colonial empires? Like, why is this even our problem? So I just started working in American media because I was like, this ain't getting fixed.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Not any time this millennium. You think the Middle East is going to escalate in terms of war crisis, World War Three, perhaps? I think that chaos under Trump's watch will benefit you know the people who are just got voted out so if you look at our unelected bureaucracy who's running our intelligence agencies uh i would point to yes perhaps that's why they're selling off the border wall yeah that's probably why unfortunately it's just like shutting down the country for covid and then you know blaming it all on on trump or like the job loss right yeah because he's a racist for talking about it coming from china right all the jobs i don't i don't i think that that was a happy uh side effect because
Starting point is 00:46:15 it was like the whole world got shut down it wasn't just the u.s like like countries all over the like most we're supposed to be free yeah i'm not i'm not i'm not trying to make an argument that it was the right thing to do i don't don't don't misunderstand me i'm just saying that it wasn't it wasn't just the u.s that did it because uh i don't want to think of it as in as or i don't want to articulate it as just a u.s context because it was the whole world it wasn't just about trump and and the democrats trying to shut down the country i feel because that my opinion is it was about trump and that the world. Well, it also points to I don't I legit really believe. I think that's a little more than Fauci and China and all these other places did conspire to shut down the world to get rid of the outsider politician.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I don't believe that. I certainly do. But the you see, I will tell you why you're wrong, because the better conspiracy theory was that they were intending on the pandemic well before Donald Trump was even in office. So the conspiracy theory for a while was that Hillary was going to win in her second term. There was going to be a crisis. I don't believe that either. I think what likely happened is that Fauci was performing illegal gain of function research that had been banned and he was doing it through a third party. And that's why he lied about it. There was a crisis and a disaster. But, you know, that's just me.
Starting point is 00:47:27 It wasn't gain of function. It was just a thing where you splice it and you kind of make it worse. That was really amazing how Rand Paul says, Dr. Fauci, were you performing or funding gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology? We were not doing gain of function research. We were just taking the viruses and making them gain functions. We were just cutting bats in half
Starting point is 00:47:51 and making the terrible viruses. That's all we were doing. All right. Let's jump to this next story for the Postmillennial. Breaking. Trump tells Biden to stop auctioning off border walls. I'm asking today Joe Biden
Starting point is 00:48:02 to please stop selling the wall. This is wild. It's come to the point where Trump has an emergency press conference where he's like, we're building a wall. We have the materials. Joe Biden's selling them for five bucks for like a massive segment, basically pennies on the dollar. It's extremely expensive. It's relatively expensive. I should say extremely, but relatively, you know, the government pays for, which is basically you paying for it. I can only see this as the Biden administration, which is not really Biden because he's not there, but whoever is there is intentionally sabotaging this country. If Donald Trump was going, let's say this, let's do a score of minus 100 to positive 100. And that's like, you know, minus 100 is this country has fallen to garbage.
Starting point is 00:48:45 And positive 100 is golden city on the hill, shining city on the hill. Right now, we're at like a negative 60 something. It's bad. We got war. We've got crisis on the border. Trump starting from that point can only do so much to improve things. But we're excited. Joe Biden's trying to drag us down as much as possible before we get to the Trump administration.
Starting point is 00:49:09 And I think it's because, as we've long stated in the show, they're intentionally sabotaging this country. Yeah, I think you're right. I traveled to the border multiple times during the Biden administration, would fly a drone up and literally see the migrants coming through the gaps in the border wall. And when you talk to these people coming across the border, they expressly tell you, yeah, we're coming because we heard that it's easy to get in here. So it's not even, I think, you know, a lot of the anger gets directed towards the people who are coming here illegally, but really the signal that's been sent to the entire third world is that, hey, you can come here. So can you really blame them for making that?
Starting point is 00:49:40 Like Biden said, surge the border in the like in the debates this so i i don't know if this is true but i heard this morning that these past four years saw the largest mass migration in human history so i just did a quick google search the largest largest migration in history it says uh unhcr estimates 14 million hindus sikhs and muslims were displaced during the partition of India. They're estimating now, what, 15 million coming to the United States in the Biden administration? Yeah. And when we went down, we went to Guatemala. I went with Jenny Traer, who was working at the collar at the time. And we went to the Honduran border on the south. And the people that were coming over were not south. I mean, there were a lot of Colombians, a lot of Venezuelans, but these were
Starting point is 00:50:25 people from Africa. I interviewed it like a group of 20 Afghanis who had come over and they go through Brazil. Then they go up through the Darren gap in Panama. And it's amazing to see over the course of just, cause I was at the border during the Trump administration, it was all central and South Americans. And now it's people from everywhere. And Lord knows like what these people, there's no background check. There's no way of knowing who they are. They don't even need IDs to get into the country. I reported on the wall down at Yuma.
Starting point is 00:50:54 And I was getting letters from border agents who were like, we've been told just to stand down. And they were saying, this is an intentional collapse. And you can see at the border, at least where I was, they're just throwing their IDs out. It's like a landfill. Yeah, they throw them right before. And they're from everywhere.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Currency, all types of stuff. And then the agents are just letting it go down, for sure. Like, that's what I literally saw. These people are walking up there with those little ladders. You see those little ladders they make? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I tried to climb the border wall. It's tall.
Starting point is 00:51:20 It is. It's a tall wall. It's a scary thing if you're up there. It's a beautiful wall. And it does have slats it does have slats it's tough but they make these like makeshift ladders yeah and they just come on over here's the thing and it's funny if you rewind back like to all the anti-trump media during when trump was trying to build the wall they're like 30 billion dollars it's way too much money and now we're
Starting point is 00:51:43 looking at like with 30 billion dollars is like I would spend two bucks at a coffee shop. And every single border agent that I talked to, hundreds, said the border wall would tremendously help with our effort. Because if you can just drive a vehicle straight over the border and then drive back, like, okay, a wall is going to make that a little bit harder. Everyone's like, you could dig tunnels. It's like, okay, but wall is going to make that a little bit harder. Everyone's like, you could dig tunnels. It's like, okay, but it's harder to dig a tunnel than it is to drive a car across. And also in Yuma, there's a reservation right next to it. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:52:12 That's where everyone goes. That's exactly right. Walk up to the wall and go. I literally flew a drone right over that reservation. Yeah. Or as James O'Keefe found, while they were trying to cut through the wall, there was a border patrol agent just sitting there
Starting point is 00:52:23 watching and doing nothing. Yeah. It's almost like soft TSA. Because you show up, they got tags for your luggage, they got a van waiting for you, you got bottles of water, the port-a-potty's right there. There's non-profits who are all putting you up in housing and then they're putting you on a plane.
Starting point is 00:52:38 For the plane, yep. Exactly. Dude, it's insane. You know, I need this question answered because I've been very critical of CBP for a long time for facilitating child sex trafficking. It's disgusting. It know, I just I need I need this question answered because I've been very critical of CBP for a long time for facilitating child sex trafficking. It's disgusting. It is an atrocity. And the question right now is, yeah, all of that, of course, persists.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I want answers. I think Trump should arrest those agents who knew what they were doing. I don't care. Anybody who dares come to me and says they were just following orders. When these agents see the number on the little girl's arm, a little boy's arm, and they know what they're doing. I don't care who you think you are following orders. You facilitate trafficking. You are the trafficker.
Starting point is 00:53:09 You go to jail for that. But I digress. Well, look what happened to the border agents who were actually trying to stop people in Texas, and they were whipping the migrants. And, you know, so that's what happens to people who try to stand up. Do the right thing. Trump's coming in in 36 days the question i have now is who are these agents who are facilitating the sale of our border wall in 36 days or less donald trump is going to be in office and he's going to be saying i want my wall back these guys know this they know the american people voted for a secure border they know that donald
Starting point is 00:53:40 trump is coming in in a month and wants a secure border and they're saying well you know i'm ordered to sell off the wall better start doing it it. It's Mayorkas. I mean, I talked to Rodney Scott, who was the chief of the Border Patrol during the Trump years, and he was as pro wall as anybody has ever been. And so Biden came in and he switched out the leadership and he ensured that they were people who, you know, shared, I guess it's not even his view, but the view of whatever people are trying to sabotage our country. I think any Border Patrol agent that in any way helps facilitate the sale of these walls should be terminated immediately by Donald Trump once he gets into office. He should be going to whoever's running Border Patrol and say, who are the guys that were helping Biden sell off the wall?
Starting point is 00:54:22 I don't care if you're an entry-level, lowest-level guy all the way to the top. Fire all of them. There's, I think, 26,000. But it's going to be like a dozen or so that are part of this sale. You know what I mean? It's not going to be like thousands of them.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Yeah, well, because there's CBP, which is the Customs and Border Protection. That's the ports of entry, like airports and all that. Border Patrol is actually, CBP is like twice as big as the Border Patrol, which is crazy to me. I cbp is overseeing the sale i could be wrong yeah let's just say this if i'm getting the agency wrong forgive me cbp was involved in the trafficking any federal worker anywhere that is helping biden sell off the wall should be terminated immediately don't get me wrong doge is going to fire a lot of these people as it is
Starting point is 00:55:04 i'm excited for that. I also just want to give a shout out to Elon Musk for actually getting a department called Doge. Yes, Dogecoin is bumping. In 2018, I was like, Doge, it's going to bump. QAnon and Doge, those both are going to bump. Do you think they're selling off the wall to try to make it look like the Berlin Wall pieces? Like, is this their thing? Is that what they're...
Starting point is 00:55:23 I think they're sabotaging the country. Yeah, that for sure. Why don't you put up some border wall around the compound? I was like, I'll buy some. You know, why not? That would be kind of sick. It's tough. I tried climbing it.
Starting point is 00:55:34 It is not easy. No, no, I mean, if you bought some actual border wall and put it up around here and was like, no, it's legit part of the border wall that Biden was auctioning off. The wall does go down. Like, it goes down like 10 feet. And then also they have, everyone's like, oh, you can just cut through it.
Starting point is 00:55:50 They have motion sensors. So if somebody is cutting through it, they can pick up on. Well, it's steel concrete with rebar in the concrete. They pour concrete into the actual steel. Yeah. Yeah. It's a pretty beefy thing. That's why it's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:56:02 They're selling it off. Yeah. But I hope these guys get fired, and I hope they regret it. In Yuma, they had the double wall. So they had a wall, and then they had another wall, so then there's a corridor that the Border Patrol can travel through. And the canal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Not a canal, but like a river. Well, that's the Rio Grande. There it is, yeah. Well, I think the big mistake Trump made was not bringing the alligators into the river. Oh, that was, yeah. They should, like anyone, I think he was joking about that, but the media reported like he was serious. Any of the border guards that have been found
Starting point is 00:56:32 to do that stuff, they should all be investigated for accessory to child trafficking. Oh, child trafficking 100%. Yeah, they should be investigated. If they saw a kid with a number on its arm and they called that number, you're assisting child trafficking. There's a ton of those stories.
Starting point is 00:56:47 There should be an investigation. And if they're found guilty, they should all be punished to the fullest extent of their power. There's a guy with a lettuce farm right there on the border in Yuma who had kids. All lettuce down there. Yeah. Walk alone with the numbers. Where do those kids go? Jail.
Starting point is 00:57:01 There's so many missing kids right now because of Kamala. Yeah, absolutely. 100%. Bizarre. These people shouldn't be afraid for their jobs. They should be afraid that the new DOJ is going to find out that they were accessory to child trafficking and throw them in jail. And honestly, you should investigate Mayorkas. If he knew, investigate him.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Toss him in jail. Investigate them all and if they have been found to help transport children you know it to help traffic children put them in jail we have laws against this we have a judicial system and we haven't and we have a justice department that can investigate time to use them for good as opposed to using them for evil. It's funny that Biden's doing this now because his president, Obama, was the deporter in chief. And he got rid of so many. And now he's like reversing all this. I think this is what Cash is going to do.
Starting point is 00:57:58 I think one of the reasons Cash is going to have an easier time getting confirmed is because he's not one of these you know pro-trump guys who says abolish the fbi and there are a lot of people saying that no cash was like let's take the intelligence component out of it make these guys go solve solve crimes like there's 7 000 guys go be the good guys and solve the crimes and stop the murderers and the rapists well they foiled the whitmer kidnapping so right i mean come on that's that's i'm excited for for for kash patel at the fbi i played hot i played hockey with kash kash patel he's that he's he's a he's a grinder he oh he's good he's not afraid to step up with the blue line i can tell you that or take a head high clapper wait it was on your team like i literally i watched him play at an undisclosed location
Starting point is 00:58:40 within the last seven days and they had And they had a resounding victory. They won by double digits. He's on a hockey team? He's on a hockey team, yeah. Secretly? Yeah, he plays defense. Oh. I played hockey when I was a kid. And he definitely is not afraid to get his elbows dirty.
Starting point is 00:58:56 And I've talked to guys on his team, and everybody says that you really get to know a guy when you play hockey with him. I mean, you're literally showering with the dude. You don't have to shower together if you play on with him yeah i mean you're literally showering with the dude so but they all have good things oh well you stink after the game you you kind of i mean private showers i mean that's my favorite part to be having a beer in the shower and just talking with the boys i guess all right let's jump to this next story we have this from nj.com drones reported above new jersey nuclear power plants, New York airport officials say.
Starting point is 00:59:29 And all this alongside this story from the Daily Mail. Mystery as radioactive shipment goes missing in New Jersey amid drone invasion. right now are that these are special nuclear radiation detection drones that have been deployed to either search for missing nuclear materials or dirty bombs, or it's a test. There's a viral threat from some random guy. Nope, it's a anonymous account, saying that these are HPGE drones designed for tracking radiation, and they're being deployed at night intentionally for a few reasons. I don't know if this is from the threat exactly, but others have said that the temperature differential at dusk, anything that's sitting in the sun that heats up when the sun goes down, the surrounding
Starting point is 01:00:14 environment cools off, but the metal object may retain heat, making it easier to see with thermal imaging. However, this individual said it's intentional. The U.S. government is testing radiation detection drone technology, and they need to know what the public will do if they launch these drones without telling them. So they're trying to see what the public reaction will be, which is why they're intentionally saying we have no idea what's going on. But we all know they do. Or they're just testing out what the public will do if there's an alien invasion, or an alleged alien invasion. But these things are no, like, they're just not alien. You know what I mean? No, clearly not. Definitely not alien, but people think they are.
Starting point is 01:00:52 It's like the Voltron of conspiracy theories. These things have FAA regulations. It is. Voltron. Whatever you want it to be, it's that. It's a Rorschach test. If it's Project Bluebeam, it's Project Bluebeam. If it's Earthwoods, it's Northwoods. False flag. If it's the government testing on you, it's everything. Personally, I've been thinking about this a lot, and I think it's like the new Mothman prophecy.
Starting point is 01:01:12 People in West Virginia in November of whatever that was, 60s, no, maybe in the 50s, saw something flying in the sky. And then it caused hysteria, and the whole town went crazy. Well, there's a little bit more to it. Well, yeah. People were reported seeing a six-foot-tall figure with glowing eyes standing off the whole town went crazy. Well, there's a little bit more to it. Well, yeah. People were reported seeing a six foot tall figure with glowing eyes standing off the side of the road. And what could this thing be? Do you know what they believe it is?
Starting point is 01:01:34 No. The Mothman? Bigfoot. No, they think that it was in the dark because of the proportions of owls, a specific owl. Oh, yeah. It looked like it was far away. I looked, it was up close. Or what is it? No, no, no. It looked like it was far away. I looked, it was up close. Or what is it? No, no, no. It looked like it was far away. It was up close because the size of the head and the body and the eyes. People were seeing an owl close to the road.
Starting point is 01:01:55 They thought it was a larger figure farther away in the silhouette. And then started reporting this monster. Whatever it was, though, it caused a panic in people and people wanted to shoot out of the sky. Everyone started seeing it. And if a panic in people and people wanted to shoot out of the sky Everyone started seeing it and if you read these stories and what people are going through even just politicians in satin island saying we want Transparency or we're going to start shooting these things down There's like a psychic trauma happening and people do believe it's whatever horrific thing you believe in It's that since there's no transparency every theory is now accelerated and you can believe anything That's what they want.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Every one of these things. Luigi was that. Everything is a Rorschach test. And it's the thing where whatever you believe in, it's now that. And you can believe in that fear. I'll tell you what I think. All right. I don't believe the nuclear dirty bomb conspiracy theories.
Starting point is 01:02:39 People are saying like, oh, a nuke got stolen from Ukraine and now they're panicking. I don't believe that. Some people are saying it's going to be a false flag attack. There's going to be a bomb going off and they're going to blame Iran and say they were searching for the whole time. Don't believe it. That's what Alex Jones said. If that was that like, like it could be likely. No. Why do you not think so? Because if they want to false flag, there have to be preliminary warnings to prime the public to the threat of Iran. So if they launch these drones and they're flying around and these drones are doing nothing, they have FAA lights as per regulation blinking as they're
Starting point is 01:03:12 supposed to. It does not look like a foreign. Why would why would Iran care about our FAA regulations? I don't think it has to be Iran, but it could be Russia. They've been stoking fears on any other. How do you get a drone all the way across the now? Where are they being launched from? That's why Jeff Andrews had a mothership. But if the false flag, I say no, because if they were trying to false flag us, they would come out and be like, guys, we think they're going to attack us. We're going to launch drones. Oh, no. However, it makes more sense. And this is slightly more plausible that there actually is a threat and they're terrified to say this because it would cause an economic crash. If the U.S. government came out and said, we have reasonable, we have intelligence that we can reasonably assess to be probable at
Starting point is 01:03:54 the very least, we are dispatching drones to search for any kind of terror device or weapons, the Eastern Seaboard evacuates. I mean, who's going to stick around New Jersey when they're saying, yeah, there could be a dirty bomb somewhere in your neighborhood. People are going to be like, ah, a lot of people would leave. They would, they would stop spending money. So it potentially there. I'll tell you what I think about a psychological operation. Perhaps, perhaps the whole thing is they launched these drones and they they're doing something to get a law passed. One argument, one of the conspiracies is that they launch the drones, they terrify people, and then say, we need drone detection and drone restrictions to stop the chaos.
Starting point is 01:04:30 And people say, people are demanding it. I think it's, I'll tell you what I think it is. I think it's all of it. Not so much, like in a sense of what you're saying, it could be whatever you want it to be, Shane. I think hobbyists are flying drones. It starts with somebody launches a drone for some reason. Perhaps the government is doing something. That's it. A small program with 10 drones flies around. They're large and they're doing a test on them. Some people notice. They grumble.
Starting point is 01:04:56 The next day, a few other people fly some drones. They're commercial. You can buy them at Best Buy. Every Best Buy's got four or five different variations. The big ones freak people out, like a government test or a university test or something different variations. The big ones freak people out, like a government test or a university test or something like this, but they're legal FAA regulations.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Or the Inspire, the biggest DJI drone. How big is it? It's this big, and it goes 85 miles an hour. They're saying they're seeing six-foot-by-six-foot drones. Yeah, this one's three-and-a-half-foot wide. So let's say a small handful of large drones doing some kind of test or operation for the government or corporation.
Starting point is 01:05:27 People freak out by seeing them for the first time. And those are massive. And they report them, start spreading rumors. Like I saw these crazy drones. People start looking up and seeing commercial drones. They start reporting commercial drones. Stupider people look up at the moon and see the corona and go, what's this giant ring in the sky and report more.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Now you've got mass hysteria. So I certainly think something is happening. I'm saying this because people like Michael Tracy said, you know, look, I'm not trying to be biased, but I went out there and that is weird. Whatever it is I was seeing flying around is not a normal drone. So I believe it is happening,
Starting point is 01:05:58 but I believe mass hysteria is playing up something that's probably not as big a deal. And people are taking advantage of it, like pranksters who are like, well, let's throw our own drones up in the sky it's just like after shootings happen all of a sudden there's manifestos and you got the wrong manifesto you believe in this it's happening now it was exactly with that with that um that that school shooting that just happened yep people are already spreading a fake manifesto yeah these are because it's it's a form of accelerationism
Starting point is 01:06:20 whether they know it or not they're participating in accelerationism by it's like when the new zealand shooting happened and they had that manifesto that person knew that that manifesto would be read by the right and blame it on the left and read it and the left would read it and blame it on the right and that's what a lot of these things i mean you live stream the whole thing yeah yeah and this is a form of accelerationism which is what's happening with the drones you know all of these things but trump's not allowed to have a drone over his rally because it was the night. Interesting that we have the drone narrative throughout the whole year. And it's like,
Starting point is 01:06:52 I literally can take a $30 drone and do better. When Trump says he knows what the drones are, I'm fairly positive it's because Peter Thiel and Elon Musk know what they are. Clearly, they must know. Yeah, Palantir, they're probably Palantir drones. They literally just ran, they ran an ad during the army navy game about killer drones suicide. So I saw that ad Oh, of course. It's like what did I just see what I think I saw I'm just I just saw this on Twitter fate and
Starting point is 01:07:17 Twitter user peachy Keenan pointed this out and it's actually a good point Faking a nuclear attack would accomplish a lot. Emergency war powers, inauguration canceled, and possible war with Russia. So not saying that I think that this is the case, but, I mean, you know, if you're going to put on your tinfoil hat, that's a legitimately compelling argument if you're of the opinion that the deep deep state will do anything to keep donald trump from actually you can read the operation northwood northwood's papers from
Starting point is 01:07:50 1962 where they planned uh to harm american citizens and blame it on cuba and what tim's saying with drone airplanes right if it's a controlled airplane if it's a false flag why not pepper it in now but like the narrative has been set that these are enemies i don't know if while the drones there they would say you know i that these are enemies. I don't know if while the drones there, they would say, you know, I'm just guessing here, but I don't know if they would say that like the drones are here. We're searching for Iran, Iranian or Russian dirty bombs or something. Well, that would happen. And then they blame it on whoever they picked, even though we planted it like what was supposed to happen in Northwoods. But there's been multiple types of Northwood events throughout the years. So I didn't see i don't i didn't save the tweet or anything but i did see a tweet that there was nuclear material
Starting point is 01:08:28 that was lost yeah in ukraine that's one of those stories no no no here in the u.s in new jersey no i know right and the community community notes response was that it's radioactive but so relatively low that it doesn't have any like use there yeah people. People, the, the, the actually, I mean, so fair enough that it couldn't actually do something, do harm, but the psychological effect would still be dramatic. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:52 You know, you'd still have people panicking. I still have people saying, Oh no, there's, we have to be worried about radiation. I mean, look what happened,
Starting point is 01:08:58 you know, over COVID. If in the next couple of weeks, they come out and announce we are engaged in a drone operation to detect nuclear material, there are concerns of potential retaliation from our enemies. We kept this under wraps because we did not want to cause a panic. a leak happens and a journalist at ABC says we have documents showing the government is looking for nuclear material, then I would start to believe that maybe there either is going to be an attack or a false flag. You know, I lean more towards attacks being real. Some people live in the world where they think false flags are always the more likely.
Starting point is 01:09:36 I think they're the less likely. False flag doesn't mean it's a fake attack, right? Like there's real violence. But I'm just saying, like, if an attack happens, I'd be more inclined to believe it literally was Russia or Iran as opposed to the U.S. government doing it. But I don't put it past the U.S. government because of North. But what's the geopolitical calculation there for Russia or Iran to carry out that kind of attack? Like, you know, how is that going to benefit them? There's so.
Starting point is 01:10:01 The math here can go either direction. If Russia attacks the U.S., and I don't know that Russia would directly attack the U.S. That doesn't seem to make sense. But the logic would be they want to shock the public into rejecting the Ukraine war. But it could also go the complete inverse. Oh, no, we've been attacked. Now we have to get involved. So that's why it doesn't necessarily make sense. One of the arguments often made for why a country would preemptively strike another is to deter them and shatter public support for any kind of involvement. So mass civilian death, one would argue, would lead people to say like,
Starting point is 01:10:35 why are we getting involved in war? We don't want this. Even after 9-11, there was a massive movement against any involvement in Iraq or Afghanistan. But. But I think with the United States... Pearl Harbor? Right. If you... I would have known that fleet was coming. If a bomb went off in the U.S., this country is going to be like,
Starting point is 01:10:53 bang the war drums. The majority of Americans, even in the wake of Pearl Harbor, it was such an isolationist country at the time. Yep. They were still against getting involved in the war. However, I don't know that Iran could be accused of being
Starting point is 01:11:06 strategic or intelligent in these regards. Exactly. And there are a lot of elements in the Middle East we've seen with things like 9-11, where there are people across the Middle East, whether you think it was direct Saudi involvement, we know Saudis were involved, but I mean like governmental involvement or whatever, who are going to want to carry these things out. Let me put it this way. You don't need a conspiracy theory. Why, allegedly, did that guy shoot the CEO of that healthcare company? It clearly didn't do anything to stop the problems of the healthcare industry, but it makes them feel good. These people are deranged and they want to strike at a symbol and they want to feel like they're doing something. So if there wasn't tech in this
Starting point is 01:11:42 country, it could be as simple as extremist groups in the Middle East or Russian sympathizers or outright Russians are basically saying, America needs to be taught a lesson and we don't care what the results are going to be or the ramifications. It's hard to know for sure. When it comes to Russia, though, Russia benefits from chaos in the U.S.
Starting point is 01:11:58 So if they, the more, you know, discord they can sow in the U.S., the better they like it. So they don't have, there doesn't have to be like a side they're helping. All they want is to have Americans fighting Americans. That's a benefit to Russia. It's part of accelerationism. It's like didn't the Russians pull off that kind of psyop where they had people fighting online and they actually ended up going to the protests and the seed was Russia planting on both sides of the argument.
Starting point is 01:12:24 And it went into the real world and there was protests. Look at all the protests, the anti-Israel protests that happened over the summer. I mean, it's in the United States. Like, that's exactly what our foreign adversaries. And the country has a great cover right now for all types of crime, having open borders, having the prisons open during COVID, all this stuff. So it's like you could blame it on anybody. This is a challenge.
Starting point is 01:12:47 If a bomb were to detonate in northern Jersey, that, I mean, a dirty bomb could contaminate the area and kill tens of thousands or more, would you guys support war? No. If Iran came out and said, we, the great nation of Iran, have stricken at the heart of the United States as a sign that when you we are everywhere, we are all at once. And if you come for us, we will come for you and it'll happen again. Would you support intervention war?
Starting point is 01:13:19 Well, it wouldn't it wouldn't be I wouldn't classify it as intervention. I would classify it as retaliation. I don't imagine incursion. I'm sorry. I wouldn't want to see I wouldn't want to see American boots on the ground. But I would be like, look, if you want to go ahead and take out Iran's ability to to attack us like that, because I do believe the U.S. intelligence apparatus has a at least a solid handle on where Iran's military bases are and where those kind of attacks. The centrifuges, the Israelis had a virus that literally sabotaged the centrifuges. They're on top of that stuff. So, I mean, if there were an attack that were claimed, if Iran attacked the United States and claimed the attacks and we did that, then I would have no problem with the U.S. having airstrikes. No problem at all. But they said there were like metal tubes over there and that they were WMDs.
Starting point is 01:14:06 What if our government was telling us that and that we needed to unilaterally invade the country? I wouldn't support boots on the ground. Yeah, I would not support any kind of... Right. I support zero actions in Iran pertaining to
Starting point is 01:14:22 what they might do. Don't care. Nope. Not doing that. I mean, look what happened. So the CIA deposed Mossadegh, who was popularly elected in 1954, I think it was, and they literally came in with machine guns and cash, and they put the Shah in power. And then look at the downstream effects that happened. Yeah, they do a lot, don't they? I mean, how did that work out?
Starting point is 01:14:41 The U.S. is really- There's a backlash. Or ISIS. They deposed the Iraqi military. They're all Sunni. And then all the Shias come out in the streets and they start killing the Sunnis because we're bringing democracy to a 60% Shia country. So are you saying if the U.S. was attacked directly by Iran and they claimed that we should do nothing? I just don't envision that that would be a scenario just given power.
Starting point is 01:15:04 Sure, sure. Agreed. It's extremely unlikely they would. But let's say they do. don't envision that that would be a scenario just given well but power okay sure sure agreed it's extremely unlikely they would but let's say they do let's say they say the united states has long supported israel who has committed crimes blah blah we want the american people to know that we will not tolerate their continued support for war where we live and we will bring war to where you live regardless of the outcome and they take credit for it and they explain how they did it you would say i would say fortify the borders and make this country better and let's not focus on putting 500 000 troops on the ground in some patch of desert i don't focus on domestic oil i don't
Starting point is 01:15:36 know that you have you would have to uh put 500 000 troops on the ground to be at war with that country but halliburton builds all the barracks and stuff over there. I'm not saying they wouldn't do the invasion. I just think that's a really hard press. Like, dude, in a scenario where Iran or Russia or any other country admits to detonating a nuclear device in the United States, like, we're at war. Sorry. It's just like, I don't know how you get around that.
Starting point is 01:16:01 That's what let's let's let's rewind. And I don't think I think the probability of that is like 10 billion or more. Well, let's use Afghanistan, for example. I was in sixth grade on 9-11. That's largely the reason why I decided to study Arabic from a suburb right outside New York. But what did we achieve in 20 years in Afghanistan? So everybody was all for— But Afghanistan didn't do 9-11.
Starting point is 01:16:25 Well, that's a whole other— Right, didn't do 9-11. Well, exactly. That's a whole other That's why I clarified. And we trained the Mujahideen. And that's why I clarified the point in the event where the leadership of the nation admits to it, gives a reason for doing it, explains what they did and why they did it, that's basically a declaration of war on us already. And what do we do?
Starting point is 01:16:42 I mean, I'm not saying we invade their country. The mission in Afghanistan should have stopped May 12th. There shouldn't have been a mission in Afghanistan. All right, so if that's your take, that's fine. As far as my opinion is, the day after they killed Osama bin Laden, the U.S. should have packed up and left. It was in Pakistan. I understand that.
Starting point is 01:16:59 But the point being, the ostensible reason for being in Afghanistan was to find and kill or capture Osama bin Laden. Once that goal was achieved, I don't care where they found him. Once that goal was achieved, they should have packed everything up. You know when they packed it up? They packed it up after fentanyl replaced opium as the opiate of the masses. That is when that—and it was Vietnam before that. That's fine.
Starting point is 01:17:20 You may be right, but my my point is you asked my opinion yeah my opinion is after osama bin laden was killed the u.s should have packed up everything in afghanistan and gone home that's you asked the question that's my answer no i'm not yeah i'm not debating whether all the other stuff was right everything after the day that osama bin laden stopped breathing was too much and it shouldn't have been done at least if you're going to enter into a military action and you have a tangible goal, when that tangible goal is achieved, you end the military operation.
Starting point is 01:17:52 And that's how you keep the support of your people and you keep your people, you keep the faith that your people have in the government and military. And you take the military hardware back. You don't leave the military hardware over there. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:18:06 And you have to abandon your Air Force base. Yeah. I mean, everything from the day after bin Laden died was an absolute travesty. I went to the White House that night. That was a wild night. Really? It was a party down there.
Starting point is 01:18:20 And just to go to show how much the White House has changed, that was in 2011, I think. That was, I was up in a tree in front of the six foot fence right in front of the White House, and now that six foot fence is 20 feet and you're not even allowed within any, within 100 yards of those trees. Yeah, the whole White House is complete.
Starting point is 01:18:39 It's insane. The new White House fence is wild. Since when? Since, it happened actually prior to all the BLM stuff. They were already under construction. Really? And it was completed in like 22. It's still being, I mean, it's crazy.
Starting point is 01:18:52 I haven't driven past there in a long time. Yeah, it's huge. We were in D.C. a couple months ago, like eating, and I just didn't go to the White House. Yeah, well, you can't really see much anymore. You can't get closer than Lafayette Park. Wow. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:19:04 Yeah. I used to skateboard along that fence. It was a great time back in the glory days. What about Russia? If Russia attacks a NATO ally, do you think we should get involved? I think that we don't have a choice, unfortunately. That's part of why I'm kind of like the U.S. should get out of NATO. Or at least I think that we should, you know, look at getting involved. At least I pay the fair share. I don't think we can get involved. I understand the reason for defense and
Starting point is 01:19:29 show of force if we're attacked and it's that clear cut, but I don't even trust the clear cut news these days. But our military industrial complex, once they get a taste of war, they don't stop like what Phil said. I'm for it. 100%. Actually, I want them to declare war now because I'm really excited to see Dean Withers and Harry Sisson deployed to the front line. Aha! I am totally joking. Yeah, tim and i are aged out of the draft
Starting point is 01:19:48 tim's like yep let's do it i'm gonna be 39 in three months so they voted they voted for that war you know yeah well i look i have no idea what what trump ends up doing i you know look at cash patel he's not a abolish the fbi guy He's a get it back on track kind of guy. And I respect him. Even though I think the FBI has largely been bad for a long time, Kash is being fairly moderate. And I respect him. I think he's going to do a good job and I'm happy to see it.
Starting point is 01:20:17 But there's a reality in the Trump administration where Trump does go to war. I am not, I do not live in this world where I think anti-war means there will never be a war and no matter what happens, the U.S. should never be involved and we should ignore everything. That's ridiculous. I just think that
Starting point is 01:20:32 what the U.S. calls war since the end of World War II has been intervention for the sake of empire or control. Nation building. Right. Albertan contracts.
Starting point is 01:20:41 And the petrodollar and maintaining the liberal economic order. In the event the United States was legitimately attacked, we have a duty to defend ourselves or to uphold our sovereignty. I'll put it this way. If we as a nation allowed Iran, Russia, or China to attack us directly, we'd say a dirty bomb. And then we were like, oh, I guess we'll just do nothing. We are going to get trampled over and we will get destroyed in short order.
Starting point is 01:21:05 Look back to what the actual military action that Trump did take during his first term was like Qasem Soleimani was a good example. I mean, that wasn't putting troops into Iran. It was just using cruise missiles to blow or whatever it is that they used on him. I think it was drones, wasn't it? And he was in Iraq, wasn't he? Yes. Yeah. And that's the point is we brought democracy to a country that's 60% Shia that borders our biggest geopolitical adversary, which is Iran, which is Shia. Yeah. And this is what my freshman year in high school, that's what my history teacher told us.
Starting point is 01:21:36 He's like, I'm going to tell you guys why the Iraq war is the stupidest idea in the world in 30 seconds. He did. I was like, why is my freshman history class doing better than our entire State Department? What's going on here? That is, look, you know, conspiracy theories circulate because people want to believe that life is more interesting than it is. The news tends to be negative or worrisome because we have no need to focus on things that are good because it doesn't put us in jeopardy if news breaks that like a bunch of orphans finally got a home it's not going to be the lead because it doesn't put
Starting point is 01:22:12 you in danger if it bleeds it leads but there's a reason why because you aren't worried about the safety of your family when you hear that a dog got an that a stray dog was rescued and gave into a home those videos do go viral because it's heartwarming. But news about potential war, conflict, crisis, drones leads because you're asking yourself, what could threaten me and my family and what do I need to do to be ready
Starting point is 01:22:36 for it? Yeah. And everything's been super charged because it used to be that everybody would sit down and watch the nightly news and they had this standard thing of, you know, you have the lead story and then you end with a feel-good story. But now everybody's news feeds, and that's what I talk about in the book a lot, is how all of this stuff has been put on steroids based upon what gets surfaced on the algorithm and why. And the answer is a hate click is a lot more powerful than, like, you know, some kind of thought piece or anything that delves deeper than the most primal thing that's just going to engage your lizard brain. And I'll tell you this.
Starting point is 01:23:09 I think the right, as we would describe it today, is more resilient to this, and the left is not. So what ends up happening is the right reacts to the left. The left starts saying things like Trump is a fascist Nazi white supremacist, and then if you want to vote for him because you're concerned about the border, you too are a fascist Nazi white supremacist or a communist Nazi, you know, commune fascist Nazi or whatever. Then people on the right are like, no, I'm not. You guys are crazy. The left entrenches themselves because they are susceptible to the rage clicks and the social pressures and the right rejects it.
Starting point is 01:23:41 And this is where you largely get components of the culture war. Well, and definitely since the Trump era, the right was long, you know, the conservatives who stick to their values, but you're right, it has largely become reactionary. And so I think there's a big question right now with the next Trump era is A, how much of that kind of, you know, Trump said, kafefe, the whole world's gonna explode.
Starting point is 01:24:04 How much of that is, because then when something actually does happen, everyone's just like, oh said, cafe, the whole world's going to explode. How much of that is because then when something actually does happen, everyone just like, Oh yeah. Okay. Here we go again. It's the same narrative. So I don't know. Will the, will CNN do a more responsible job in reporting on the Trump white house? They're going to keep staging events like what they did in Syria for irrelevance and figure in phase fade out. What was the most watched day in CNN's history? Was it when they hologram Wolf Blitzer? No, it was, I can give you one more guess.
Starting point is 01:24:35 Come on, it's the most. Was it when Don Lemon said the MH370 was a black hole? Well, they went wall to wall on that. That was a good one. And Jeff Zucker has defended them going wall-to-wall on that. He suggested a black hole swallowed the airplane on Earth. I actually want to buy that. And now we know it's true, Tim.
Starting point is 01:24:55 It was January 6th. And they came out with a press release bragging about our most watched day in history. That just goes to tell you what sells and what the news really wants to make money. The next most highly viewed day for them will be when Trump pardons all the J6ers. Oh, I can't wait.
Starting point is 01:25:15 I'm having a good time watching their ratings. CNN's ratings are just so miserably low. I'm surprised anyone even bothers working there. I'm going to stress this. Doing this job, sitting here, what makes it work is that I like talking about these things and I know someone's listening. That's true. When I started doing this, I was getting a couple thousand views, right? When I started doing on the ground reporting, I was getting maybe like a thousand, 2000 views, knowing that people are there valuing your work and saying,
Starting point is 01:25:45 thank you for being out here and showing us this makes it worth it. If I was just recording to no one and not posting anywhere and doing nothing, I'd probably stop doing it at some point. If you're CNN and your viewership has gone to that degree, or you're MSNBC and you're looking into a camera and you're saying, I feel this way about things, and you know no one's listening. It's a captive audience, too. The Nielsen ratings are all BS. I used to work at MSNBC,
Starting point is 01:26:08 and I used to man the phone bank, and half of the calls that I took in would be like, my TV isn't working. I was like a tech guy. I was like, ma'am, have you tried plugging it in? Check the cable. Okay, the HDMI cable. You're on the wrong
Starting point is 01:26:24 source. You've got to go to HDMI 2. I can't imagine what Rachel Maddow must be feeling knowing that no one cares what she thinks anymore. She blames the lack of audience and not herself. Well, Joy Reid, that's Rachel Maddow times 3,000. Who is she talking to? You know what I mean? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:26:40 I'm not saying you need to have a massive audience of hundreds of thousands. Like I said, I was getting started doing all this podcasting. It started off with a YouTube video with like a thousand or two thousand views. And I was like, wow, look at that. And there were comments and people were saying, hey, Tim, here's this and talking to people, engaging with them. And I was like, right, I've got things I want to say and I want to talk about and I want to go here and film this thing. And there are people who just right away were sharing what I was doing. So when I first started streaming, I had no followers.
Starting point is 01:27:06 I started streaming, someone finds it and then shares with a friend and they say, hey, we appreciate you doing this for us. Seen on MSNBC, you're going the other direction. People trust people now and not brands. But I just mean like at what point are you Caitlin Collins going like, I can't talk to a box for another night.
Starting point is 01:27:21 Like no one is watching. Staring at a black lamp. The only views they get are when we make fun of them. Like Scott one is watching. Staring at a black lamp. The only views they get are when we make fun of them. Like Scott Jennings is the perfect example of that. I think Brian Stelter is intentionally
Starting point is 01:27:32 talking like a moron every day because it's the only way people will look at him. Did you see what he said about the ABC settlement with Jim Acosta? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got to stand up straight
Starting point is 01:27:39 and fire. The funny part about that is like, okay, all these people who are claiming like ABC bent the knee. It's like, okay, all these people who are claiming like ABC bent the knee. It's like, do you guys realize how legal proceedings go?
Starting point is 01:27:49 They did not want to go to discovery. And cause I guarantee you what happened in my estimation, like this is allegedly that they realized that they made a big oopsie and they were like, should we backtrack? Should we issue a correction? And they're like, no, it's Donald Trump. Absolutely not. We would never give him an inch of ground. And so they didn't want, they settled for $15 million plus the million dollars in legal fees because they didn't want discovery. And that's what I relied on when I got a correction from CNN. And then you have to tune into the second book for the corrections from the New
Starting point is 01:28:21 York times. But I basically, you know, they don't want to go to court because they know that they're guilty. Now, hold on. How much you want to bet that the money that's being paid? So first of all, that money that's being paid to Trump is actually being allocated to a Trump museum. Did you know that? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:38 Oh. Not only did Trump win in 47- He's just paying for a huge Trump statue. It is. Brought to you by- $15 million. Can't make it up. So they've got a- Stephanopoulos and ABC are going to pay a million for a huge Trump statue. It is. Brought to you by ABC. $15 million. Can't make it up. So they've got a,
Starting point is 01:28:46 Stephanopoulos and ABC are going to pay a million bucks each to Trump for attorney's fees and $15 million to the creation of a presidential Trump museum. See, reality's stranger than fiction. I kid you not. You can't make it up. If you made that up in a pitch
Starting point is 01:28:58 for a Hollywood pitch in a border, they'd be like, no way. But here's the thing. I bet ABC's insurance company just pays for it. They probably have what yeah yeah media insurance yeah media i mean i had to get and and the insurance company probably talked to the lawyers and said what's going to cost if we pursue exactly exactly insurance they the lawyers told the insurance company here are our rates and here's what happens when we lose the insurance company was like just pay them yeah that's i mean there are clauses i just signed a media insurance contract. Right. This is what people need to understand about lawsuits.
Starting point is 01:29:27 The insurance companies don't want to go to war. Everyone's saying this. Oh, they did. And you were saying this. They don't want to get discovery. That'll be bad for them. And I'm like, I don't think that's it. I think the insurance company just said they did an algorithm.
Starting point is 01:29:41 On average, a total cost of this lawsuit will be $37 million. Pay them 15. That is in the clause. So literally like when you sign a media insurance contract, it says they have the right to choose to settle in the event that they make that calculation. And it's
Starting point is 01:29:56 standard cost-benefit analysis. If the cost of the lawsuit, victory, is more than the cost of a settlement, they settle. Teflon Don. Don't own that for nothing it's great but uh understand this is like that's this is why i respect james o'keefe he never settles he's like nope we're going to war you want to go with me we go to war 99 of anybody if like shane sued surge the lawyers are going to be like it's going to cost you more if you try and fight yeah
Starting point is 01:30:25 i mean i try i tried to i explored the possibility of suing new york times for libel and basically i talked to 20 different lawyers including um eugene carroll's lawyer and they were like how much money do you have and i was like uh i don't know i got a bitcoin and they're like yeah new york times it's going to cost you a half a million dollars. Yes, but. At least. They'll bleed you dry. They'll go to the Supreme Court
Starting point is 01:30:50 because they have more money than you. And so they'll just bleed you dry and then it's over. So ultimately though, what we're seeing with Trump in this lawsuit is I don't necessarily think it's about who has more money in this regard. It's like if you did sue the New york times you probably could have forced a settlement because they have an insurance company that's going to say we are not going to pay how much
Starting point is 01:31:12 it would have it would have taken me hundreds of thousands of dollars to get to that point through that's the point is like if they knew that i had a finite amount of money then they would be able to basically just drag things out as long as possible. You have to be willing to risk 50 grand to get nothing for a chance to force the settlement or something like that. Well, I hired a lawyer and I did get an extra correction. And so they did effectively admit to their fault by correcting the record. But yeah, I didn't have 50 grand. I's not just that i had five grand and that's that's what i spent in this regard trump wins because stephanopoulos said a jury found that
Starting point is 01:31:51 trump raped this was liable for rape which is not true at all and he says the judge confirmed so he yeah double the statement saying yeah a judge and a jury said trump raped this woman is not correct at all yeah so trump su, and their insurance company said, what are we looking at? And they're like, it's 50-50. What he said is defamation per se. That is not true, okay? And so the insurance company was like,
Starting point is 01:32:16 I swear, if it's $15 million, $15 million and $1 to go to court over it and win, and it's $15 million to settle, they don't care. Insurance company don't got no ego. They're going to be like, we don's $15 million to settle, they don't care. Insurance companies don't got no ego. They're going to be like, we don't care what you think, or we don't care about your credibility.
Starting point is 01:32:29 We care about paying you the least amount of money possible. So pay Trump $15 million, and it's done. Do you think the core ABC audience cares about them being caught in lies? Constantly? Like, I think about the Jussie Smollett interview.
Starting point is 01:32:39 Yeah. A lot. It's pronounced Smollet. Smollet. I have a hard time not saying that, actually. But they constantly lie. And I wonder if their ratings have significantly dropped since then. They've always been low.
Starting point is 01:32:51 What does it look like these days for ABC in particular? ABC's doing better than the CNNs and the ABCs of the world. Yeah. And they're actually trying to sign- Because of Good Morning America? Yeah. So the morning shows are what perform the best. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:03 Because nobody watches nightly news anymore. Yeah. And they have less baggage. Except for this show. Because ABC is also not running a 24-hour news operation at the scale that MSNBC and CNN are. How about we point this out? People don't watch nightly news anymore, so why are they watching TimCast IRL? That says something about what the nightly news has turned into, not watching news at night.
Starting point is 01:33:22 So a show like this is four you know, four or five people hanging out talking about all these things, just literally conversation. I have a series of stories pulled up in advance. We give each of the stories well enough time for them to flesh out and for the conversation to flow. At a certain point or if the conversation dries, I'll say, let's jump to the next story. And so it is more free-flowing without restrictions there's no commercial breaks we we've done ad reads at the 9 30 mark for super chats and pre-roll but we let the conversation just sort of flow that's probably why people will watch this show and not watch not some canned news package where it's like well here i am standing and it's mostly peaceful it's those are boring but you don't get anything from them if i see a guy say today a drum was
Starting point is 01:34:04 spotted over new jersey a nuclear power plant. The president said this. It's like, okay, but I knew that as soon as it happened on X. Yeah. It's also like, why do they talk like that? I know. Why do they talk like that? Well, today, it's like, I'm not a person, dude.
Starting point is 01:34:19 I'm standing here outside. Talk to me like I'm a person. It's crazy. It's pretense. They've become elevator music. It's just a nothing. It's crazy. It's pretense. They've become elevator music. It's just a nothing. There's nothing to it. And people have largely rejected the soundbite culture of that news.
Starting point is 01:34:31 But this is why Fox still gets large viewership on their nightly shows because their opinion context shows. But I will stress there's a reason why we do this show as a conversation. And in the morning I do segments which are me monologuing. It's not hard news, like my opinion as an individual. But I think what makes this show work is it's the end of the day hangout going over everything. Most of the time people already know. Not everybody. But when news breaks early in the day about like a school shooting, you hear about it.
Starting point is 01:35:03 Your phone goes off. You're on Twitter. You see it. Someone texts you. Yeah. You don't need the nightly news to tell you it happened. Right. But then you come hang out and we all talk about it.
Starting point is 01:35:10 We get super chats and we sort of go into the ideas and what it means. It's also probably like how they all exist in a silo, too. You know, they're all talking about the way they see that news. But we are in our world, but then going through the ways they view the world too. They put Matt Maddow on a pedestal for exactly that reason, because she was more in the direction of, you know, Tucker Carlson, she was in the same time slot of doing more opinion and that kind of stuff. But I was in the newsroom in NBC in 2013. It was my third day at work. And this is like the very opening of the book. And Jeff Zucker came down and he was the later, the president of
Starting point is 01:35:45 cnn this was like a month before he left nbc and he had rock center which was hosted by brian williams which was supposed to be the millennial 60 minutes and he kept on saying like oh yeah we're going to use what's trending to inform our editorial decisions yada yada yada it was my third day and like an electric shock my hand just went up and i asked him this challenging question about like nbc's long been a bastion of, you know, editorial judgment, what people need to hear, not just like cats flying through the air. Cause it's trending on Twitter. And I thought that I got fired. I luckily didn't, I was making 12 bucks an hour. It wouldn't have mattered anyway. But, but, uh, I, there was a moment in that newsroom where Jeff Zucker said, we're not doing news
Starting point is 01:36:22 anymore. He's in the DC newsroom, the center of hard news. So we're doing entertainment. And so he said that to the entire newsroom. Well, he was the apprentice guy. He's the entertainment guy. Exactly. He's the guy who brought on Donald Trump as the apprentice 2016 up until that point, 2016 was the highest year of ratings that CNN ever had. And Zucker knew that because he's, he came from NBC entertainment and then he took over the whole show. And yeah, he pushed everything in the direction of entertainment over news. Wow.

You can see the skateboard behind me. There it is.
Starting point is 01:37:27 Right there. The right to arm bears. The Founding Fathers forgot to put that one in the Constitution, but if you think bears should be wearing flannel shirts, hats, and carrying shotguns, then that's a skateboard for you. It's actually selling really well. We've sold like hundreds. I want that board. I need the Richie board, and I need that board.
Starting point is 01:37:43 The Richie one? Oh, it's right by your feet. Yeah. The one where he's a revolutionary soldier? Yes, that's a beautiful image. Alright, we're going to grab some super chats. Alpha Turkey says, just got a bonus. Where do I buy Bitcoin? Well, we don't give financial advice, but if you Google it, someone else might.
Starting point is 01:38:00 I personally use Coinbase. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's easy. All right, Jason Dixon says, number two, shout out to Richie McGinnis. But he said Gainis. Oh my, this anti-Irish sentiment will not stand.
Starting point is 01:38:17 My name has been misspelled more than it's spelled correctly. I blame my ancestors. I'll just give you two I's, two N's, two S's. All right, we got Cochizzle says, this is for Ian's new drone. I know that he will find out the other drone's origins with it. Much love, Ian, Tim. You're cool, too. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:38:31 I think we have like 12. I think we have like 12 drones. We have a lot of drones. Because we film a lot, and so we have drones. I think it's a bunch of Mavic Pros. Yeah, those are nice. They're in storage somewhere. Because you need a pilot's license to use them.
Starting point is 01:38:44 And we do have a drone pilot. But we haven't really filmed a lot with them because a lot of the stuff we were planning on doing didn't happen. Is it airspace, too, around here? Is there an airport? There's an airport. There's a couple of them, actually. Yeah, because that'll restrict what you can do.
Starting point is 01:38:58 Yeah, but I mean, we're mostly good. We're out in the middle of nowhere. But, you know, don't fly into airports. All right. Let's see. Saravia says Biden should ask for a pardon from DJT. He needs it. Well, theoretically, he could pardon himself, right?
Starting point is 01:39:13 I think he could. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. The Emperor's Champion says China has seen a lot of mass tragedies, and those perpetrators use knives and cars, proving that gun control is pointless. Some horrible, horrible knife attacks in schools over there, over the years. There was a funny meme that said, if guns people, then, what did it say? Like, spoons make people fat.
Starting point is 01:39:34 Cars run people, or, you know, it was like, cars are running people over. Something like that. It was funny. Spoons. Watch out for them spoons. Assault spoons. They're going to outlaw knives in the UK soon. Machine spoons. You've got to watch out for the them spoons. Assault spoons. They're going to outlaw knives in the UK soon. Machine spoons.
Starting point is 01:39:46 You got to watch out for the machine spoons. Automatic spoons. Up Shepherd says, Tim, I hope you're well. It would be so cool to commission art for your character, Volsiferon, for a boonies board. Lots of furry artists would love to take you up on that. Furry artists. It's Volsiferon, Herald of the Winter Mists.
Starting point is 01:40:05 Can we just back up? What's a furry artist? Is that an artist who's hairy? Like an Italian artist? No, it's a person who makes cartoon animal art. Oh, okay. I'm behind on the times. We're working on a culture war podcast with Phil
Starting point is 01:40:17 where it's him having a conversation with 20 furries. 20? Yeah, I thought the idea was we would have a ring of furries in their fursuits all around you. We used to have a proper country. And then everybody would raise their hand and then they would pick one
Starting point is 01:40:30 to go up and sit down with you. Oh, like a debate thing? Yeah. You're debating furries? What do they call that? Speed debating? No, there's a name for it. But that's the idea.
Starting point is 01:40:40 Like the Charlie Kirk thing where he sits and they have... What's with the flags and stuff? They raise it if they... And then if too many get raised then they pull the person off. Like the Charlie Kirk thing where he sits and they have – and what's with the flags and stuff? They raise it if they – And then if too many get raised, then they pose the person off. Like they're all saying, like, we don't agree with this. With furries. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:52 I mean, look. So just a bunch of fat, furry Italians? Well, nobody says – I'm half Italian. It's just a bunch of guys who are hairy. They're not actual furries. Yeah. Like I said before, I will host a culture war with furries, but they have to be fully clothed.
Starting point is 01:41:07 None of those weird costumes that have parts hanging out. What about like the God ones? Right, but regular fursuits. Yes. And by regular, he means fully covered. All right. No assless chaps. They're freaks, man.
Starting point is 01:41:21 But what if it's two guys in a horse costume? I mean, it's... And they're both naked underneath. Well, of course they're wearing them. Well, I guess that's kind of weird. It's all weird. All right, all right, all right. Okay, guys.
Starting point is 01:41:32 Let's move on. We're going to move on now. Shane H. Wilder says, in case I don't get to say it before y'all go on break, a very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year to everybody. I can't wait to drink two weeks on Christmas morning. Let's go. So if you go to castbrew.com and you buy two weeks till Christmas right now,
Starting point is 01:41:51 my understanding is you can get it delivered on time for Christmas. Although we were hoping it would be released two weeks before Christmas, it's a week and a half before Christmas. You can order this book and get it in two days. And you can read Riot Diet while drinking two weeks. It's gingerbread flavor. You can order this book and get it in two days. Ah, and you can read Riot Diet while drinking two weeks. It's gingerbread flavor. You can be on the Riot Diet while reading Riot Diet. I want you all to imagine this.
Starting point is 01:42:12 It is sunset. You're sitting on your couch. The lights are off. Candles are lit. You have a hot cup of gingerbread two weeks till Christmas. Looking outside as heavy snow is falling, and you are opening up to page one of Riot Diet. What a beautiful night.
Starting point is 01:42:29 And page one starts with the Federales in Mexico, counting the number of beers that I had in the back. Who's going to make the movie? Well, so the author of Jarhead is my editor, and we're in some talks. But if you were to do, I mean, isn't this a collection of a bunch of different news events? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:46 The question is, is how would you fit it all in? Because there's a lot of madness. So maybe, I don't know. Singling like one story and fleshing it out. Yeah. I mean, you would have to, he's, I asked him that and he was like, I'll figure it out. So. You know what you could do is if it were to be semi-fictionalized, you could create a
Starting point is 01:43:04 story arc revolving around you and a handful of characters that travel to these zones. The conflict would not be the zones. It would be you as the characters, and then you could have a critical moment. Like Civil War, basically. I mean, Civil War is just a more extreme version
Starting point is 01:43:17 of what we were doing, a bunch of journalists traveling across the country. Right, exactly. But real. Yes, and instead of rifles, it's billy clubs. We got beat up by a fair number of billy clubs. And then you just choose that one moment for the climax of the story? All right. I don't have an agent, but I'll have you talk to Swath. I don't know what you mean.
Starting point is 01:43:39 But yeah, that's what you do. Like that movie Civil War, which was not about a civil war at all, which was disappointing. Yeah. But you saw that movie, right? Yeah. It was about civil war at all, which was disappointing. Yeah. But you saw that movie, right? Yeah. It was about the – yeah. It followed the journalists across. Didn't – so I will just say what I loved about it is that it showed the true depravity of these journalists. Would you agree?
Starting point is 01:43:55 Yes. Yes. And how they frame things and – How they're laughing and smiling and cheering for the violence and the blood. Absolutely. And that's what I talk openly about in the book is like what videos did well and which ones didn't. And the guilt that comes with like, you know, our most profitable event
Starting point is 01:44:09 as a news organization was Kenosha. And it was this terrible, tragic thing that happened. And it's like, you just- They're unscrupulous. But when you're actually there, I don't understand how those people could take that kind of approach. Because when you actually see it-
Starting point is 01:44:24 Because they're evil. It's totally different than viewing it through pixels on a phone dude i can't tell you man i mean you know i don't need to tell you being on the ground at a lot of these riots and hearing how these journalists think not all of them but a large portion of them hoping for people to die hoping for shootings hoping for violence i have heard journalists say something like oh i hope someone gets shot or something like that because they're like like, that's what I'm here for. I was in I was in Ferguson and there was a journalist. There was all the so after the couple nights of riots, things calmed down a little bit.
Starting point is 01:44:55 A bunch of news crews are staying in the parking lot as if this was a festival. And there were two journalists talking and one guy said, I'm just here to network. Not surprised. They show up to a community where gas stations burned down, stores have been looted. A guy died. There's a cop on trial. National Guard is deployed, and these people come in, they call themselves vultures, and he's like, great networking opportunity. I mean, that's psychopathic. This is very different from the riot situation, but when I went to Long Island to report on the arrest of the suspect for the Long Island serial killer i'm in the courtroom with surrounded by all like the corporate press types but from like the local msnbc and everything abc and whatnot and it's taking a long time for the suspect to enter the courtroom and we're in the room with
Starting point is 01:45:35 victims families right and everyone else and they start chanting we want rex the reporters wow that's the suspect's name. We want Rex. Like whisper chanting because they were getting bored of waiting for the serial killer to emerge. These people are sick. In that film, there's a scene where one faction is laying siege to the city and breaking through the barriers in D.C. And they're unloading full auto. I think it's probably like, I don't know what caliber, but it's armor mounted. And one journalist looks to the young girl
Starting point is 01:46:10 and he smiles and they both smile at each other and nod like, yeah. That's the depravity. And then in the end, when the main character, whatever her name is, dies, the guy just looks over her and like, what is he like?
Starting point is 01:46:22 Or the girl takes a picture of her. Yes, yeah, exactly. Takes a picture of her dead body after getting shot in the back. And that's it. Carry on. And I really respected how they framed this. They didn't stop to render aid to her at all. And I'm not surprised.
Starting point is 01:46:35 There are a lot of journalists I know who are not like that. Don't get me wrong. But there's a lot that are. So when they showed this woman die at the end and then the young girl just goes, picture, and then keep walking. And then the guy's like, yep, this story is more important. They got the present. We're going there instead. Wild, man.
Starting point is 01:46:51 Yep. Not to mention, the main character dies because the young girl is being reckless and trying to jump out in the line of fire to get a photo. And then she pushes her out of the way and then gets shot in the back. And then the girl just takes a photo of her dead body. I have met way too many of these people they're they're awful that famous photo of the girl who's dead uh it's a it's a young black girl she dies and there's a photo of her on the ground you can see the sunset the real photo that went viral was one of the journalists walked around to the side and took
Starting point is 01:47:20 a picture of the 17 journalists all getting a photo of a dead girl yeah and you can frame that's the thing is the way that's what i talk about a lot is like why do you aim your camera where you do and how do you frame it and what are you showing and a lot of what i would show out at the riots is like you have the the garbage fire and the umbrella gang i call them because no one's going to admit to being antifa and and so i call them the umbrella they're all in their little turtle shield their their little Roman shield formation. And you have the fire. And then you have like 30 journalists, like all filming, you know, just waiting for exactly what you're talking about. One of my favorite encounters was when I was in Ferguson and the right had mostly dissipated.
Starting point is 01:47:59 And there were about 30 journalists in the middle of the street standing there. And an APC pulls up and the cops get on the LRAD and they're like, clear the road. You have to disperse. And all the journalists in their in their huddle of like 30 to 50 start moving backwards, taking photos or filming or holding up cameras, walking slowly backward. And then finally, the cop goes, media, I am talking to you. You need to disperse. There were no protesters. It was just the media trying to get a picture and they were blocking the road. These people are scumbags. You know, I hear the meme all the time.
Starting point is 01:48:37 They say, however much you think you hate journalists, it's not enough. I think people really need to understand what it's like on the ground to see what these people are like. They are not there to inform you what's going on. They are not interested in the truth. They revel in the chaos and the destruction. They laugh about it. They are callous and cold. Not every single one, of course. Clearly, you were there. I were there. I was there. I went down because I wanted to see for myself what was going on because I'd seen all these stories on the Internet and I wanted to tell people. Then once I saw the media was lying, I wanted to call them out for lying and tell people what was actually happening. Too many of those people are there just for a job. Too many people are there because I think
Starting point is 01:49:11 it's a springboard or an opportunity to get a desk position at a big news company so that they can feel important about themselves and get followers. Yeah. And we would stream it. We'd run longer clips and then that tiny little three second soundbite would get pulled out and run on cable news. And this caricature would be spun up. Yeah. Let's read some more. Let's read some more. All right.
Starting point is 01:49:32 Shell Wiggin says, hi, Tim. Thanks for encouraging us to change culture. I created a six book series of Christian children's coloring books. Pen name Melly's Garden on Amazon. Would love a shout out. Thanks for all you do. Well, thanks for doing what you can to make books and build culture. That's awesome.
Starting point is 01:49:46 Yeah, contact Pigeon Press if you're looking for it. If you've got a book pitch out there, Pigeon Press. We do pulp nonfiction. Just started a publishing company because I didn't want to play the corporate media game. There you go. Dung says Kyle Rittenhouse will sue Biden after he's out. Perhaps. Is he going to do that?
Starting point is 01:50:02 I hope so. He got fit. You see that photo he posted? Yeah, I did. That's great. He did lose. I'm going to give a shout out hope so. He got fit. You see that photo he posted? Yeah, I did. That's great. I'm going to give a shout out to Lizzo, to Kyle Reynolds, and also the Krasensteins.
Starting point is 01:50:11 Sorry I tweeted that. Ed Krasenstein's a liberal guy. I think he's wrong and I think he's very wrong and dangerously wrong. And then he posted a video of him working out and he's fit. And I'm like, hey, look, I don't care if I'm left or right. Encourage people to get fit. And just so we get the full gambit, Andy Ngo is shredded now, too. Oh, is he shredded?
Starting point is 01:50:29 Keep working out, guys. Good for him. That's maha, dude. Absolutely. Get those seed oils out of there. Talk to a doctor, because I don't know anything about the seed oils. I'm just repeating internet things. Yeah, no, dude, when I got to eat, I'm not interested in any of that garbage.
Starting point is 01:50:46 Ask people what they're deep frying their food and they can't tell you. Why would you eat that? I ate two McRibs and a McDouble last night. Poisoned yourself, Richie. I got hit with a hockey puck right before that, so I figured at that point. Let me ask you this. Medicinal. That's medicinal McRib.
Starting point is 01:51:03 Imagine if you ordered food. Like I said, hey, we've got a, we call it a swimming pork loin. You go, what is it swimming in? They go, I don't know. That's what I literally did yesterday. Yeah, but you do, it's a fair point. You don't know what a McRib is. It's not ribs.
Starting point is 01:51:19 There's no bone in there. Kick it up a notch. I'm saying like you literally order something that is swimming in something and they don't know what they're serving you. Would you eat it? You'd probably be like, no. I'm of the opinion it's more how much – it's more when you eat and how much you eat than what you're necessarily eating. Agree and disagree. I think you're largely correct, but not when it comes to chemicals and weird garbage in your food.
Starting point is 01:51:41 Yeah. Like if you – So good though. It doesn't matter what time of day you're eating if you're eating poison. Like, I mean, like if you're drinking booze at 9 a.m., you're going to get drunk.
Starting point is 01:51:49 You know what I mean? It's going to affect you that way. These weird chemicals they put in the food, it's going to affect you in ways you don't even realize. That being said, I think you're largely correct.
Starting point is 01:51:58 A lot of people don't understand why, like I'm eating right, what's happening? Well, you're not exercising. Largely you need cardio, but you're also probably eating at the wrong time. Yeah. Those things matter. You're either cutting or you're bulking. What's happening? Well, you're not exercising. Largely you need cardio, but you're also probably eating at the wrong time. Those things matter. You're either cutting or you're
Starting point is 01:52:08 bulking. It's just on or off. Yeah, you've got to exercise. Exercise matters. To keep it simple, it's the exhale. Where does the fat go? Out your lungs. Sort of. Not really, but yes. When the carbon breaks down in your system, it goes out of your breath.
Starting point is 01:52:24 You are breathing out your fat. When the carbon breaks down in your system, it goes out of your breath. You are breathing out your fat. So when you are running and exercising to the point where you're breathing more and your heart rate's up, you are burning fat. If you are just not eating, your body's probably not burning fat. Ozempic is this new drug. No, it's terrible. No, Ozempic. Ozempic. What is it?
Starting point is 01:52:43 Ozempic. I know that zin apparently is not... You haven't heard of this? Of course I know Zin. Apparently, I guess they donated money to... I think it's all terrible. Yeah. I don't know. Nicotine is a pretty nice drug. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:52:58 It is nice every now and then. You know, I just... I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't got tattoos. Just a little lip pillow. You know, I am one heck of a boring guy, I just, I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't got tattoos. Just a little lip pillow. Just one little. You know, I am one heck of a boring guy, I guess. I play music and skateboard or something. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:53:11 Whatever. I posted some fingerboard videos on my Instagram. I did a front foot impossible. That's a vice right there. Fingerboarding is a vice. I got a fingerboard in my hand the whole show. And it's got a little. Carpal tunnel right around the corner.
Starting point is 01:53:23 And I'm left-handed. I'm amb-handed. I'm ambidextrous. Wow. Yeah. You can go switch? Well, switch is usually using your index finger. But for whatever reason,
Starting point is 01:53:34 I do certain things on my left hand and other things on my right hand. I think it's because I play guitar. Are you left-eye dominant? Nope.
Starting point is 01:53:43 Okay. I don't think so. I shoot lefty because I'm left-eye dominant. Yeah, that's crazy. I was't think so. I shoot lefty because I'm left eye dominant. Yeah, that's crazy. I was watching a video. We went to a range and someone was explaining left eye and right eye dominant. And it's like when you're right handed but left eye dominant.
Starting point is 01:53:52 Yeah, well, like Tucker Carlson shoots a rifle lefty because he's left eye dominant, but he shoots a pistol righty because you could kind of change the position of the weapon. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I think playing guitar at a young age is why I tech deck with my left hand and not my right. But I write with my right hand. Also, my handwriting is completely illegible.
Starting point is 01:54:11 You would not be able to understand a single word that I wrote. I don't know why, but I do capital and lowercase like that SpongeBob meme whenever I write. It's real. Basically, you just write like Trump tweets. Just put in capital letters. Randomly in the middle of sentences. I don't know why. It's just like when I write, I literally will just, if I'm just going to write, it's capital, lowercase, lowercase, capital, capital, lowercase.
Starting point is 01:54:37 And I just, I have no idea why. You know, whatever. I don't really write that type, you know. All right, let's grab some more. Frozen Yoga says, rip legal vices. Law Tube was blessed to have your insight and company while we did. Cheers, Jeff. Oh, sad to hear.
Starting point is 01:54:52 Sad to hear, man. WHSTimmy should have Sarah Adams on the show. She just did a Sean Ryan show. She speaks of the next attack and Islamic army with ISIS. Very interesting. Yes. Very interesting. She would be a great uh guest but for the culture war so she could really talk about her uh her experiences let's grab some more super
Starting point is 01:55:14 chats jeremy frank says today is the sixth day of our daughter's life congratulations sir that is based indeed it is the most based jtrw says i agree with the lead singer of all that remains they should have left what was that reference to reference to afghanistan yeah yes they should have left then they shouldn't have gone in the first place but you know grant dexter says it's it's fake hysteria it's airplanes watch mick west's's video. The government is letting it happen, saying manned craft instead of airplanes. Not necessarily. They did come out and say that many of these reports were airplanes. I I think that it is largely airplanes. But I also think that there's something else. When people heard the story of drones, they all went outside and looked up, and they took pictures of whatever they saw and claimed they saw it too. There's a, look, man. There's a photo going around from someone who says,
Starting point is 01:56:14 it's getting really weird outside. There's a giant ring around the moon with a pulsating orb in it. It was literally the corona and Jupiter. But a lot of people don't look up. When I was little, I was like, how old was I, like nine or ten, is when I first noticed the corona. Have you guys ever seen a corona? Oh, yeah. So usually when the humidity is high, the moon will create a lens flaring effect where it creates a bright ring around the moon.
Starting point is 01:56:38 And it can be of various sizes. Some say that usually if it's going to rain and there's a temperature differential in humidity, you're going to get refraction, which creates this beautiful ring around the moon called the corona. Jupiter, of course, is close to the moon right now. Sure enough, two days later, we got a massive snowstorm and rain. And there were people posting on X saying, I don't know what's going on. This is freaking me out.
Starting point is 01:56:57 And it's like, have you ever looked up before? The story of- During the, I think it was the LA Rise when the power went out, the police got tons of reports. Maybe it wasn't the LA Rise, but there was a power outage. Tons of reports of something. During the, I think it was the LA rise when the power went out. The police got tons of reports. Maybe it wasn't the LA rise, but there's a power outage. Tons of reports of something strange in the sky. It was the Milky Way.
Starting point is 01:57:10 Stars, yeah. The Milky Way. Because they had never seen the Milky Way before. They're like, what is that thing? Similar happened during lockdowns. There was more. Yeah, the sky was super clear. People were saying, we're seeing all these crazy things in the sky, but the sky was clearer than ever.
Starting point is 01:57:21 People were seeing the Himalayan mountains for the first time in years. They just weren't used to it. But I do think a lot of these things people are seeing are planes. It was like last time I was on the show, they were talking about stuff in DC. It was planes. Yep. You know,
Starting point is 01:57:34 it was in lens flares, but I also think there's also weird stuff happening. I didn't take the drone story seriously until I was in New Jersey recently, saw my sisters who don't care about any of this stuff. And they're like, they're something's flying over our apartment and we never have planes over here. Like none of this stuff. And they're, you know, flying over our apartment and we never have planes over here, like none of this stuff. And they also have the blurry photo. I'm like, why do you all take this blurry photo?
Starting point is 01:57:50 But it was weird. Blurry photo. Blurry video, blurry photo. I'm like, why is it always blurry? You used to have a blimp over DC, a tethered blimp. Really? Like how far back? Like a couple of years ago. I mean, this is like five years ago
Starting point is 01:58:01 and then the blimp crashed. Really? It had a surveillance blimp over, you could see it on certain days. But there was a blimp that was literally like. Interesting. Yeah. Hanging.
Starting point is 01:58:08 Like a Goodyear type? Like a, yeah, tethered surveillance blimp. I like that they chose blimp. Because I guess it's easier to keep it in the air than a drone. It uses less energy. There are tethered drones in D.C. like over the White House and stuff like that. Oh, yeah. During Biden's inauguration.
Starting point is 01:58:23 They're everywhere. All right. We've got a C. Jonesones as i just founded the show you didn't found it but you found it you know what i mean you're not a founder the show's been around for some time but i believe you meant to say that you just found the show c jones thanks for watching the show and super chatting our founding father c jones thank you here's a good one uh let's see tooth did i say that? In case you didn't see my last Super Chat, on December 4th, a man shot up a SDA Christian school in California, injuring two kindergartners.
Starting point is 01:58:52 In his manifesto, he said it to get revenge for Gaza-Palestine. Whoa, I missed that one. Yeah. Jeez, man. Dude. I wonder why we didn't hear about that. So there is some reports circulating from some reporters that I believe is much more credible about that entity of the shooter.
Starting point is 01:59:08 And keep your kids away from the internet, man. If there's one thing I can guarantee you, when my daughter is born in a couple of months, she will not know what the internet is at all. Get her a pony, get her a go-kart, anything. Other than if it doesn't have a screen on it. Nah, no phone, no internet, none of that. We're going to live in the mountains. You can't look at the internet until you're old enough it's imperative exactly because this this if the
Starting point is 01:59:29 story is true this is a 15 year old girl who was radicalized by deep diving on the internet and building a world view based around evil yeah and you've got evil people enticing them and then this this kid went nuts they're not saying she was involved in a cult. No, it's that like— Because there's a cult that does that. Look at the social contagions. And not just about trans ideology or anything, but I'm talking about wokeness in general. And these ideas that make no sense and are illogical. Two plus two equaling five.
Starting point is 01:59:59 If you're not exposed to this fractured worldview and the love bombing and the cult, you're not going to fall into it.
