Starting point is 00:00:00 Democrat Eric Swalwell reportedly caught on tape admitting to corruption, abusing power in Congress, targeting the Trump family for well, I don't want to get too much into it, but for inappropriate reasons and talking about cheating on his wife and going after teenagers. Yeah, this is wild. Reporter Nick Sorter was, I don't want to go too much into it just yet because we want to have him break the story down, but published a video where he confronted Eric Swalwell and said, there's, I believe, what is it, an hour and a half? He said an hour and a half of audio recording in public,
Starting point is 00:00:40 in public of Swalwell gloating, laughing and admitting to how he abuses power, wanted to abuse power and how he was involved. Let me pause. Madison Cawthorn was right. If you know what that means, you know what that means. But we're really early in the show. We try to keep it family friendly. Madison Cawthorn warned about how in Congress, in D.C., there's a lot of a lot of adults that get together and take their clothes off, if you know what I mean. And Swalwell basically is admitting to this. So this is going to get pretty wild. We're going to get into the nitty gritty with Nick, who was there, witnessed it, recorded it and hear about exactly what went down. What I can say is I've seen photos. I've seen recordings. I don't know what's on the recordings, but I know that he's got this stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:24 And it looks like this is going to be a massive story exposing deep Democrat corruption. So, I mean, we got a lot of stuff to talk about. Seriously, they're calling it a hacker. I don't know if it's a hacker, but at the housing and urban development meeting, somebody blasted all the TV's AI video of Trump licking Elon Musk, his feet. It's very weird. I got to admit, kind of funny, but we'll talk about that. And then the story from the other day, but I think it's it's very relevant now. CNN wrote a story saying that high level officials at the CIA are concerned that the layoffs are going to result in people betraying the United States and selling American secrets. As if to imply that there are traitors working at the CIA and they have been for some time, which is really weird for them to admit. So we'll get into all of that., plus Trump cheering for the Gulf of America. Also, don't
Starting point is 00:02:09 forget, go to castbrew.com. Ian sold all of his coffee. It's gone. I'm going to beg him to go to school with the money these earn from the sales. You know he needs it. But we do have Appalachian Nights still, our all-time bestseller, despite the fact that Ian's graphene dream has overtaken in the past month. Support Casper Coffee. It is it is our coffee company. We sponsor ourselves. It's the best coffee. Everyone agrees. At least that's what I've been told. And as always, check out the Green Room show today was was pretty wild, actually.

Starting point is 00:03:20 joining us tonight to talk about this and let's just say this story is Nick Sorter. What is up? Appreciate you having me, Tim. It's good timing to be here joining us tonight to talk about this, and let's just say this story is Nick Sorter. What is up? Appreciate you having me, Tim. It's good timing to be here, be able to talk about this stuff. There's a lot of stuff that I haven't posted about yet that we talked about a little bit earlier when I first came in. Because this is a juicy story.
Starting point is 00:03:35 We're talking about an hour and a half of sitting there with Eric Swalwell, a drunk Eric Swalwell, listening to him spill everything to people that he doesn't even know. But they keep buying him drinks and everything. I mean, it was just there's so much to digest. That tweet that I made was six paragraphs long and I still couldn't fit everything into it. And we're going to get into it. But just quick, real quick. He was actually talking about using his powers in Congress corruptly.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Corruptly. Absolutely. To target the Trump family. Bragging about it and laughing while drinking. Right, absolutely. With people that he had just met yesterday. And then cheating on his wife. And then cheating on his wife.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Openly. It seemed like the entire restaurant could hear it. It was crazy. All right, all right. This is going to be wild. But we also have another guest, the man who gave birth to the Gulf of America himself, Kevin Posobiec.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Indeed. Thanks for having me on, himself, Kevin Posobiec. Indeed. Thanks for having me on, Tim. Kevin Posobiec, co-host of Human Events Daily. Great to be here. So people may not know this, but you had that post, like, what is it, like a year ago where you were on a jet ski or something and you were like, Gulf of America, baby. That's right. That's right. It was April 20th.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Go figure. But, yeah, me and my buddy, my buddy Johnny. yep, from Tampa, we were out there just ripping along. Did somebody see it and say, hey, Trump, check this out? That's what they're saying. That's what they're saying? Somebody retweeted it, you know, who also comes on this show quite often. But yeah, somebody retweeted it and then on down the line. I'm hearing that Trump is going to declare May 15th now. I think that was a date.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I think that's going to be Sir Kevin Posobiec Day, the discoverer of the Gulf of America. That's right. I want a statue. I'm up there with Christopher Columbus. Well, thanks for hanging out. We've got Libby hanging out as well. I'm Libby Emmons. I'm hanging out. I'm with the Post-Millennial
Starting point is 00:05:22 and Human Events. Really glad to be here with you guys tonight. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm Libby Emmons. I'm hanging out. I'm with the Postmillennial and Human Events. Really glad to be here with you guys tonight. Phil's here. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal and all that remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Let's go. Before we get into this, I'm going to take this time to give a message to the people who work here. Can someone get the AC turned on?
Starting point is 00:05:38 Because it's like it got really hot out and the heat was on and it's ridiculously hot in this building. So, I don't know. I'm perfectly comfy, I gotta say. Yeah, no way. We're going to drop it's ridiculously hot in this building. So I don't know. I'm perfectly comfy, I've got to say. Yeah, no way. We're going to drop it down to 30 degrees in here. Phil, would you text message somebody? I don't know how to work the AC in this building.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Who am I? Let's jump into this story. Dude, this tweet is nuts. Okay, so at 1 o'clock, Nick Sorter, who's sitting right here, tweets, exclusive, Eric Swalwell panics when I ask about his Chinese spy girlfriend. It's Feng Feng, in fact. It's Feng. That's how you pronounce it. Oh, no, not Feng Feng. It's not spy girlfriend. It's Fang Fang, in fact. It's Fang. That's how you pronounce it.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Oh, no, not Fang Fang. It's not Fang Fang. It's not Bang Bang Fang Fang. Okay. No, no. And whether that's a bigger national security threat than Elon Musk. I sat next to a drunk Swalwell at dinner for 90 minutes. He was immediately compromised by a group of lobbyists he'd just met, spilling intimate
Starting point is 00:06:19 details about his job and asking for help cheating on his wife. Massive national security threat. This guy should have his clearances revoked. Swalwell spent his dinner bragging about orgies on Capitol Hill, telling them he's bored of his wife and only wants to teens or 10. Sorry, tens. Did I say teens in the intro? I meant tens. Worse, he spoke about abusing his power on the House Intel Committee, which he's since been booted off of, saying he pushed to subpoena Ivanka Trump because she's hot AF. This guy must be removed from the Homeland Security Committee. He cannot keep his freaking mouth shut. After I began questioning him, Swalwell jumped back into
Starting point is 00:06:53 the group of lobbyists to hide from me. But I pressed on. Dude looked absolutely terrified, 100 percent guilty. He knows he's been caught. So here's actually some of the video. Now, this video, it's got 30, 30 000 retweets already 10 million views well this is just a video of swell being questioned so as i understand it as we are getting ready for the show you've got recordings and you've got photos of him in this public event and my and and my understanding is you were sitting in a public place minding your own business when he sits down again in a public place and then just starts bloviating. Correct. I mean, yeah, I went to I just took my took my girlfriend to dinner.
Starting point is 00:07:33 That's it. I was going there. I was tired. I just wanted to go somewhere close to where I was staying at the time. Let's just say I'm going to move from where that location was, because, you know, after you do something like this, you know, they're like watching to see where i'm going and stuff and it was just it was a a little bit uh a little bit weird i really don't trust these people let's just say that much but uh you know we're we're sitting there i'm eating i just ordered my food and there's tables open i mean we're talking 10 o'clock at night so it wasn't exactly crowded at this restaurant and And for whatever reason, with all the tables open in the restaurant, he sits right next to me. I mean, directly within, I could hear every word coming out of his mouth. And so could, you know, my phone. You know, I was talking to my girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:08:17 We were talking about the German elections. And, you know, we were going to do a video. And so I sit here and all I did, I have my phone recording. And it's directly in front of me but my phone was able to hear literally everything that was going on in the uh in the direct vicinity and the guy was screaming it's like everybody in the restaurant was able to hear what he was saying and he didn't care i don't know you know i don't know if he was drunk before he got there or they got him drunk once he got there mean, he only had, you know, he had a few wines, but he started
Starting point is 00:08:45 just going off, just spouting off immediately as he got there. Let's start this. I'm aware of who Swalwell is. I know a lot of people are. He's the guy who famously, I believe he broke wind while on MSNBC. Was that the story? That's the story. It was loud.
Starting point is 00:09:01 It almost sounds fake, but it was... We will pull this up. And then MSNBC, I believe, claimed that it was a mug almost sounds fake but we will we will pull this up and then msnbc i believe uh i believe claimed that it was a mug moving across a desk which is just literally not true and he got roasted by everybody but anyway i digress this is five years ago um he was on the house intelligence committee and uh can you give us a little background of like what this guy's involved involved with and why this this is so important like why this story is so big. Yeah, and so years ago, one of the things that Eric Swalwell was most famous for was dating a chick named Fang Fang, or Fong Fong, whatever you want to say, who ended up being a Chinese spy.
Starting point is 00:09:38 He dated her for a long time, and it was finally outed. The only good thing that Kevin McCarthy ever did was kick Swalwell off of the Intelligence Committee. But the problem is now he's still on the Homeland Security Committee, which is a problem, which means he's got a clearance. That means he's getting confidential information. And all it takes for him to start spouting off to random people that he just met, he didn't know these lobbyist names. They had to tell him their names when he first met them. and it took maybe 10 minutes for him to start divulging information
Starting point is 00:10:09 about him trying to cheat on his wife so just just real quick for uh some irreverent context this is eric swalwell can we pull this one up taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to help them cheat an election and the complaint that I've heard from Republicans. I heard him pause. He moved back. He sat back and paused. This was a big story because he was on the intelligence committee talking about Trump, the Ukraine scandal and Trump's impeachment. This was I'm pulling this up because, look, with all due respect, this was one of his most notable moments. I'm not it is funny and people make fun of him for it. But most people don't know who this guy is or why it matters. He here is an MSNBC accusing Donald Trump of cheating or trying to by soliciting support from the Ukrainians that resulted in his impeachment.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. And the complaint that I've heard from taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. OK, that guy farted on TV. I mean, he, he paused. He paused and sat back. So give us some examples of like, what was he saying he wanted to do, had done?
Starting point is 00:11:11 He's admitting to abusing power. Well, yeah, admitting to abusing power. But, you know, one of the first things he said to this guy, this lobbyist that he had just met, was talking about how he was bored of his wife and how he wants somebody more ambitious. And he only wants to fuck. Sorry. That's what he said.
Starting point is 00:11:30 He only wants to F10s. And, you know, I don't know. I don't know what you think. Is Fang Fang a 10? I mean, would you would you go that far with that? I've never actually. I don't know what she looks like. But I got to correct you.
Starting point is 00:11:40 It's Fung Fung. Fung Fung. She did die in a plane crash a couple of years ago. Is that true? Did she really? What? What? No. Yeah. Fung Fung. She did die in a plane crash a couple years ago. Is that true? Did she really? What? No. You made that up.
Starting point is 00:11:48 No. No. She died in 2022 on a China Eastern plane crash. And it said the idea, you know, I'm looking at Twitter from November 9th, 2023, where it says a year ago that she died in a plane crash. And then it emerged that Fang Fang, the chief financial officer of Dinglong Culture, died in the plane crash. In March 2022, she died in that plane crash. But my entire point behind talking about this and why I think that it's such a big deal is because if he is willing to say these things to people he just met doesn't know didn't even know their names what does he tell what did he tell to somebody like fang fang
Starting point is 00:12:33 speaker johnson needs to do something right right right the house needs okay but let's let's get some of the meat here sure right because i i understand you know we're all concerned about he's a democrat he's doing bad things He talked about orgies on Capitol Hill. Right. What did he say? Bragging about orgies on Capitol Hill. It's almost like he was talking about it like it's an open secret and that, oh, well, everybody – Madison Cawthorn warned everybody and they called him a liar.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Right. And what did they do to him? They found a way to get rid of him. Yeah. And, you know, but one of the biggest concerns that I had, you know, listening to that conversation and was him talking about his time on the Intelligence Committee and how he wanted to literally subpoena Ivanka Trump because she was, you know, hot, hot as AF. Yeah, hot AF. But actually saying the words and then going on and on about it.
Starting point is 00:13:23 This wasn't just a passing comment. He was talking about how, well, you know, we originally subpoenaed Jared Kushner, but, you know, I pushed to try to get Ivanka Trump in there, too, because, man, she's just hot as – Wow. And it's all on recording. I'm like – I looked at my girlfriend, and she looks back at me, and I'm like, you know, we couldn't believe what we were hearing, that this guy is saying this loudly in a public restaurant. Yeah, keep in mind, this is a Monday night, too.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Not even like a Friday or Saturday. People five tables away could have heard this. This is yesterday. This is last night. Last night, you're just sitting there having dinner, and dude sits down. Again, I'm stressing the public because we're talking about the risks to national security a guy with security clearance and the intelligence committee in a public place blowing as loudly as possible to the point where people all around him can hear it and you can actually you're able to pick it up on a recording right he's he's just spilling the beans
Starting point is 00:14:15 and everything not with the device just with my phone just sitting in front of me i mean i didn't need to i didn't need to bug the table or anything it just the phone right in front of me was enough to capture the account i probably could have had the the phone a few tables away and still got me the conversation it was absolutely crazy you know but i've already had members of congress reach out to me about this he's not gonna have a good week after uh yeah let's just just to say that it's uh that right off the bat i mean uh this this is what you've told us so far. And again, you're going to go through the recordings and we'll see what happens. But the stuff we know already, I'll put it like this. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people who are like, I want to see the recording.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Like, I want to know that it actually happened, what was said was said. That being said, like, you obviously have photos and recordings. You do. And you obviously were there. You have videos of the guy. If you watch the video of me confronting him, i actually mentioned some of the stuff that i'm mentioning right now i confront i asked him for comment like you want to comment on the fact that you don't want to bang your wife anymore because you want to bang tens in dc i asked him that as he was
Starting point is 00:15:16 walking no he's famous so weird yeah and so but and then he looks at me like a deer in the headlights like oh my god you know how this guy's been sitting next to me for an hour and a half this warrants expulsion yeah absolutely warrants expulsion absolutely but they're never going to do it i mean he should at least like phil was saying be pulled off those committees yeah well he's all he's off intel already right i'm not sure but but at the end of the day the the this kind of behavior should mean that he can't be on any committees he should lose all appointments right he can you know he can obviously if the any committees. He should lose all appointments. He can, you know, he can obviously, if his constituents want him to stay,
Starting point is 00:15:48 then he can stay. But there is no reason for the Speaker or any committee to allow him to stay considering this type of behavior. He's on judiciary. Yeah, he's on Homeland Security. He's on Homeland Security. Which is really dangerous.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Cybersecurity and infrastructure. He should clearly lose his clearance. After Fong Fong? Like, why is he on Homeland Security? I mean, it seems like a big oversight. So Fong Fong was a very long time ago, and he got into things after the fact. Two and a half years ago, this whole thing came out. And so you have Speaker Johnson.
Starting point is 00:16:21 He's the one that has the power to decide who's on what committee who issues his clearance like who would who could revoke his obviously the president could revoke his clearance but who else like what other authorities could would be involved in repealing or uh revoking his clearance because he shouldn't have a clearance no he cannot be trusted i don't care republican or democrat you know people are like oh you're attacking this guy because he's a democrat or whatever. No. So? He spent all day yesterday attacking Dan Crenshaw for saying that he wanted to murder Tucker Carlson. That was crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And that is going on. Right. It's like, what is up with these people? These congressmen are just losing it. You've got Rep. Garcia, who we're going to censure this week for saying that he wants people to bring actual weapons against Elon Musk. I really love the idea. What was that about? That was crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:05 These people are increasingly brazen. You have these Democrats out there protesting, saying that this is war now and we need to fight in the streets. Jasmine Crockett, she's out of control. Particularly in a climate where we had two attempts on the sitting president's life. That makes a big difference. Yes, absolutely. There was a Tesla dealership that was shot out now that's symbolic yeah but but you
Starting point is 00:17:30 know they didn't expect to hit musk but the point is it was a violent attack on something that was representative of elon musk there was the whole thing i don't know what the deal surrounding the bomb in las vegas vegas or the tesla But in this environment, in this climate, having people in positions of authority and again, it being in Congress does make a difference as to what you say. We do have the freedom of speech. But if you're in a position of authority, you have to be careful what you're saying when it comes to things like violent rhetoric. If it's a if it's a Republican that says these kind of things, people on the left are doing all they can
Starting point is 00:18:08 to have as damaging repercussions happen as possible. And I think that the same standard should be held to the Democrats. Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, you go to these protests now, because I'm in D.C. a lot, and I go to these protests on Capitol Hill. You see every single time at this point, you see somebody, there's this one woman
Starting point is 00:18:25 that goes every time wearing a Luigi hat with an anti-Elon Musk sign. You know exactly what she's calling for. She's openly doing it and nothing is done about it because, you know, you... Well, there's no imminent threat created. I know, and so, but these people are being emboldened. They're going, I don't know if you saw this yesterday,
Starting point is 00:18:42 where luckily we have Eagle Ed Martin, the new U.S. attorney, Trump's new's new u.s attorney up there that is investigating this chick on tiktok that's coming up and literally saying somebody please assassinate elon musk and and saying that she uh hasn't filed taxes for eight years which is a really stupid admission maybe she should call your sponsor i don't know but uh there's a there's another woman that's going viral right now where she was saying something to the effect of, you know, we all know what needs to be done. And then like there's tons of these videos where they try to use innuendo to call for violence. But it does look like we got Dan and Cash and they're going to be taking these things more seriously.
Starting point is 00:19:18 This administration, of course, can take things much more seriously. And I think you mentioned in response that went on tiktok calling for harm to elon musk he just directly responded saying we're we're gonna get we'll be in contact talk soon right yeah and she's like ha ha ha don't make this go viral oh no i'm gonna get in trouble but they want to go viral right i mean what people need to understand is that while certainly there are a lot of extremists and they're crazy when you remember these videos where people would dress up like killer clowns? And anything to go viral. Remember the knockout game? Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Anything to go viral. People want to film these videos. They do videos where they pull up the drive-thrus and then throw food at the workers and do horrible things. Or how about the milk videos? The videos where they go to Walmart and they jump up on the counter. And then they slam the milk on the ground and they dump it all over themselves while screaming because it gets views. These people on TikTok, these are the platforms calling for violence, are doing it for many of them, not all of them, but many for that reason, because they know it'll get them attention. Right. But it also it also should get them legal
Starting point is 00:20:19 attention. You know, it should get them law enforcement attention. And I believe that's what's happening. Very happy to see you. How come TikTok leaves that stuff up? People should know that that's what's going to happen. Oh, TikTok banned us. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Literally just yesterday night. Yeah. And I can't post the, so I was down at the border investigating, you know, down there
Starting point is 00:20:34 and showing how easy it was to go back and forth between Mexico and the United States. You know, you just walk around the fences during the Biden administration. And they suspended me for that. Yes. I'm like, okay, so, you know, why can't you post things calling for the assassination of a government official, but I can't show the border wall? I'm going to assume that TikTok did delete that video she posted. Because if it's still up, that'd be surprising. Actually, she removed her own account.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Well, there you go. But I will say this. I think it's highly likely that first it's been reported Kellyanne Conway is lobbying for TikTok. And that's probably why Trump supports it. Trump is just sitting there being like, wow, I do well on TikTok. He doesn't. And it's funny because with all due respect to Riley Gaines, when everyone started jumping out and defending TikTok, she did as well. And she said something like, you know, I've got 600,000 followers on TikTok. There's an audience there for this. And I'm like, Dylan Mulvaney has 13 million.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah. Okay. So if you want to entertain a website or a mobile app, whatever, that is going to make sure 13 million people are they're going to keep being fed gender ideology and wokeness and then 600000 are allowed to get anti woke stuff. OK, you are losing. You are losing. And this is an app. We have no there's no rules. We don't know what we're allowed to do.
Starting point is 00:21:50 So we we recently launched a new account kind of to prove the point because Trump said, no, it's OK. We told our talk to the social team, said launch a tick tock. And then we got a warning within a week and we got banned again. And what do we say on this show that in any way ever is beyond the boundaries of what is acceptable in public discourse. You've got people on TikTok who post way crazier things. You've got people sharing the Osama bin Laden letter. You've got people pushing innuendo hinting to Luigi Mangione. And everyone knows it means TikTok has no problem with it. We never go anywhere near that stuff. They take us down. The first video that got flagged was a clip from irl which i wasn't even on it was sam tripoli and he was talking about energy vampires and they said that breaks the rules and gave us a warrant do it again you're banned like what it was a joke it was a joke about that's
Starting point is 00:22:34 crazy psychic energy vampires yeah it's just a joke about how people drain your energy sometimes that happens and that's their concern and they and then just the other day i don't know why but they said we are permanently banned once again from TikTok. They have an algorithm that feeds based on location. And they were feeding this teenager in Long Island train suicide videos. And then he stepped in front of a train. And his parents are trying to sue TikTok. But, like, this is what happened.
Starting point is 00:23:02 This is what they saw fit to feed this boy. And Trump's defending it. Yeah, I think that Congress was right to ban TikTok. I think it's a you know, I understand all your slippery slope arguments, but like get it off our phones, get it out of our kids hands, get it out of our brains. We don't need it. Right. And, you know, one of the arguments that people say is, oh, well, you know what? Just just, you know, if they if they give you a violation, take down your video, just appeal it. And it'll go back. OK, well, you already killed the the the wait 24 hours, 48 hours, and maybe they'll put it back up. But that distribution is already killed. So it's not going to go anywhere anymore.
Starting point is 00:23:31 But they will silence you and make sure that whatever you post is out of the news cycle by the time that they even let you put it up there. I mean, it's Trump's got financial interests around him that are defending TikTok for no legitimate reason, as far as I can tell. So Charlie Kirk and Trump have done a hard 180 on TikTok with no explanation. I like Charlie. He does amazing work, some of the best work in politics. He, along with Scott Pressler, did tremendous to help Trump win. I think the Trump administration has been fantastic. That being said, I still have never been given a legitimate reason from Charlie or Trump or anyone defending TikTok as to why they did a 180 nothing's changed the data the data fears are still there the algorithm fears are still there just all of a sudden they're like no we're good with it now i'm not well you would you would think that rather than face the total shutdown of your app you know if
Starting point is 00:24:19 there was actually if we're talking about a legitimate business here why not go through and sell it for 100 billion dollars to a U.S. company? At the end of the day, what are they going to do? Are they going to shut it down? Are they going to say, oh, well, we don't want it anymore? Shut it down for one day. What was it? One day.
Starting point is 00:24:33 One day. It was like hardly shut down at all. Yeah. That was not shut down. That was TikTok. TikTok chose to disable their servers for users and then chose to turn them back on because the bill just removed it from the Play stores and from U.S. servers, which didn't affect them. They pulled a stunt to be like, we're taking down. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Hey, Trump did this. And maybe for that reason, Trump was like, I'll take the boost among young people or something. Well, it's still not available on Apple and Google. It is. They just put it back. Well, it's been back for like a week or two. Yeah. OK, well, let's jump to this last time I checked. We I'm sure that we will get into more about what's going on with, you know, the Democrats. We've got another story in the deep state. But for now, let's get into this other very big story
Starting point is 00:25:16 from The New York Post. Oh, boy, you guys aren't going to want to look at the screen. Fed's I.D. hacker who played A.I. video of Trump kissing Musk's feet and warned that legal ramifications are being explored. How many of you think we should scroll down and everyone can see Trump sucking on Elon's toes? I mean, no. We're going to say no? I'm going to enable the blur function. This is a cool feature. I didn't even know this existed.
Starting point is 00:25:42 So it's an extension you can download. And let's just adjust the blur amount to – let's put it at 5%. No, 5 is a little too much. Let's go to 6. So you can kind of see that there is Elon Musk sitting there. It says, long live the real king. Oh! That wasn't enough blur.
Starting point is 00:26:04 It wasn't enough. Oh, no enough oh no all right there we go there we go oh my goodness that looks that doesn't it's ai it's ai there the feds have id the cyberpunk who broadcast an ai powered video of trump kissing they say kissing but i'm sorry that's not kissing that's no it was it was a little more in the mouth yes you know what i mean the kissing uh officials the department of Housing and Urban Development said the individual's been identified, although they didn't name them, or reveal how the hacker managed to infiltrate the government television system in the cafeteria
Starting point is 00:26:31 at the agency's headquarters. So, I'm going to go ahead and assume the person worked there. It's usually that simple. I don't think anyone broke into the building and then stuck a USB in a computer. I think they worked there and knew how to do it. Well, I mean, this is, you've got to think about it. If it was a hacker of some sort, that is a high-level felony to hack into government computer systems.
Starting point is 00:26:52 So if they're saying they've identified the hacker, but there haven't been any charges – Yeah, they just kicked him out. They just kicked him out. I think it was an employee. It had to be an employee at that point. I don't think this DOJ is going to be like, you know, we'll cut'll cut them loose and don't do it again slap on the wrist but y'all gotta admit it's funny it's definitely funny i'm not laughing it's it's it's it's inappropriate where was it posted where was it posted on all the tvs housing and urban development they all just turned on
Starting point is 00:27:18 showing trump with elon's toes in his mouth oh no no I mean, it really shows you how deranged these people are. I mean, how much you want to bet this person didn't respond to that email? Look, yeah, okay, fair enough. Look, feet people are deranged right off the bat. Just if you're into feet, you're kind of weird, right? I think you're weird generating that, to be honest. If you're going to AI generate that, it's pretty weird. Phil, I'd like to agree with you, but the standard of what qualifies as weird these days has gone so far away from feet that you would beg for feet to be the weirdest thing about it.
Starting point is 00:27:48 You can thank TikTok for that one. You're right. You go to a liberal bar and you're like, please let feet be the only. I mean, listen, yeah, I don't know. I think we're talking. I don't know if we talked about it yesterday. We're going to talk about it tonight. The CIA and their sex. their sex it was last night yeah
Starting point is 00:28:07 this what it's just so free the nsa cia secret chat rooms they were having those were so creepy yeah well as i stated um you don't even want to know like i i cannot on this show we okay when i say we're family friendly i'm not saying it's a a kids show where we're going to be like ABC one to three. I'm saying that we try to use innuendo of innuendo innuendo on issues that get a little too heavy. We try to refrain from swinging the best of our abilities. But this is a news culture and commentary show, which sometimes maybe your kids should be listening to. That being said, these things in this chat, a man should not say before a woman. I mean, these are horrifying things they were talking about doing to their bodies. Some border on self-harm.
Starting point is 00:28:55 So I don't think it's health care. Some of it they think it's health care. Yes, but the stuff they were talking about was not health care at all. Not at all. They were talking about the relative benefits of sex changes in some of it. Yes, but some of it was about the things they do that makes them feel good, and this is not healthcare. It was damaging to the body, and it's weird.
Starting point is 00:29:15 It's all just disgusting. And the problem is you normalize these things, and it's damaging to the body. You are hurting yourself and causing very serious health issues. It's self-harm. Not okay. it's damaging to the body like you are hurting yourself and causing very serious health issues it's self-harm not okay but anyway how did these people get so deeply embedded in the intelligence because der well yes but people are there that we don't know what men did nothing right that's why good men did nothing they were too afraid i mean anything didn't want to speak out but not at first i mean i would say largely yes but it's not about fear.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I think it started with you have a Christian moral ethic dominant government and culture. And then along comes some somewhat deviant of an individual. And they say, I'm just going to mind my own business because I want to go home to my kids and I don't care to deal with this weird stuff. Another person comes in and they say the same thing. Look, I just don't want to deal with it. It's nothing. It's not a big deal. And then 10, 20 years later, half the office has these kind of these behaviors. And now they're the one setting the rules. And now you're going, if I say anything, I'll get fired. Right. It's when good men do nothing. How about when someone comes in advocating for self-harm for the purpose of self-gratification,
Starting point is 00:30:23 which is paradoxical you say don't bring that around here you will be fired but they didn't yeah well apparently apparently you're not allowed to fire anybody if that's uh you know what what all these judges are saying you're not allowed to fire people and and you know you had finally today they were given or uh or yesterday given the green light to go ahead and start firing these usa id people uh so that workforce is going to be cut. I don't know if you've been by anybody here. Ben, you were in D.C.
Starting point is 00:30:50 You go by that building now. It is a ghost town. Oh, yeah. They're all taped up. Well, they have to keep taping it over because people get the activists keep going back. Oh, no, we're going to reopen it. They rip the tape off me. Just I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:01 I live in the real world where we got little restaurants down the street, you know, little small little family grills and diners. Ain't not a single person in that building cares about what USAID is. No. Because, and look, a lot of people on the right are going to be like, people like that we're getting rid of this stuff. I'm like, oh, well, technically. The truth is they have no idea what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Who are these people cheering for USAID? It is kind of bizarre, the people cheering for USAID. And it's also true in terms of these government employees and their weird chat rooms and whatever else they're doing. Like, what's one of the biggest reasons someone takes a government job? It's because of stability. It's because of good benefits. So, I mean, if you take a government job, you can expect to have it for, you know, a decade at least. You can expect to not get fired. So, I mean, already you take a government job, you can expect to have it for, you know, a decade at least. You can expect to not get fired.
Starting point is 00:31:46 So, I mean, already you have this. That's the temptation, though. If you expect to not get fired, you could also expect to not, you know, get in trouble for anything. Right. More temptation to get away with things, like weird chat rooms. Right. I think there should be an ethics investigation on these people. I was in the confirmation hearing for Kash Patel for five hours, and they were grilling him on both sides for the entire day. But, you know, thank God he's in now as a new FBI director.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And, I mean, we kicked out George Santos from Congress. You know, people like Swalwell, get him out. You know, an ethics investigation put in on all them talking about revoking the clearance you know we got to do at least something here to prevent this from continuing right i mean you can see it's very very clear especially with like the swalwell situation why uh people don't trust congress they don't trust uh what are they at uh they what at a nine percent approval rating at this point? You know, it's because you have a bunch of sleazebags in there.
Starting point is 00:32:48 I mean, there's nothing you said that's wrong. He's probably in one of the chat rooms, too. I mean, I think Swalwell's in there. He's a weird dude. Nothing that you said is wrong, but I mean. No, it is. Sorry. It's 29%. Really? Fine, but the 29%. It must be Congress.
Starting point is 00:33:07 It's Congress and the staff. But the point is that it's not just that congress is full of scumbags that's something that's been kind of uh apparent to everybody in for a long long time the the fact the reason that there is such record distrust of government is because of covid it's because of the way that the government treated the american people during well that's when it really that's when it really got it that's when people got red pills yes yes because it was became so obvious but but i agree and i i do kind of feel like just i don't know maybe i shouldn't say it but i feel like it's beating a dead horse at this point it's you know we're several years on now trump won a popular mandate people are very pissed off about all that trump is going to go in and
Starting point is 00:33:45 we hope, despite these blanket pardons, Cash and Dan start digging up more information and exposing that we're on the next level of these things. What I'm what I'm what I'm really curious about right now is how are there people marching around D.C. cheering for an agency no one's ever heard of? There was a segment on Fox where they were pointing out these Democrats are doing these protests. And there's a bunch of photos popping up where a couple of Democrat senators and members of Congress are at a podium with no activists, no protesters. And the argument being made on X. And so I believe Fox made this argument is when you cut USAID funding, which was not just USAID, but some of these other government programs funneling to nonprofits, the paid organization of protests doesn't happen anymore.
Starting point is 00:34:29 So now when we see Democrats protest, there's no people. Right. Yeah. There's two things to consider. People aren't getting paid out for it. Well, people never got people don't. 99% of the time, people are not paid to protest. And this is a mistake a lot of conservatives consistently have made over the past 15, 20
Starting point is 00:34:43 years, is they say that George Soros is funding paid protesters. No, George Soros Open Society Foundation provides grants to various nonprofits of certain political persuasions. Those nonprofits will dispatch two organizers, maybe more, into a college area to flyer and pamphlet to generate real protesters. Now, in actuality, these kids have no idea what they're talking about. Right. But they just say, show up. Famously at Occupy Wall Street, there was a group of organizers that told everyone Radiohead was going to be playing a free show at Occupy Wall Street, which was an obvious lie. Two or three thousand people showed up. Those people weren't paid to be there. They were tricked into being there. Right. So what we end up seeing now with Democrats coming out and protesting Republicans and saying all this stuff,
Starting point is 00:35:29 and there's no there's no people behind them. Two things happened. The signs that they have, you'll notice these there are these rallies and everybody seems to have the same sign. They're printed from a print shop. Yeah, that's paid for by nonprofits and by activist organizations. But when you cut funding to these D.C.-based activist organizations, you're not going to get those signs. And the organizers will get laid off and they won't be able to go and flyer to create these protests. So that's what community organizers are. That's right. They're people that show up at college campuses to flyer and generate aggravated protesters.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yeah. What about the buses? It's got to be a large generate aggravated protesters. Yeah, what about the buses? It's got to be a large expense. So absolutely. And there are astroturfed events. They exist. They're just very rare because it's very expensive. And it's easy to expose and it's bad PR.
Starting point is 00:36:16 So there are organizations that will say, we'll pay you 20 bucks to come to a park event and stand in a crowd. And they'll give you some excuse as to what it is. We're filming a music video or it's a rally and we're filming a promo spot. So we need crowd fillers and people will go back. Twenty bucks are free and I get free food and, you know, right on the bus. The bus thing, however, in its in its sincerity is same thing. These organizers will say if you come to the protest, meet at this place and we've got buses to drive in. They pay, I think it's a
Starting point is 00:36:44 couple thousand dollars per bus for the day and then you'll get five six buses pull up unload and people all come out with pre-made signs those people aren't paid to be there typically they're like i'm part of the cause and they have no idea what they're protesting they don't know whether they're there and if you ask them any intense question about the politics they'd be like oh well i mean look one of the things that you'll notice is obviously obviously, you go to these things. It's the me, somebody that's covered several of these protests over the past few weeks. It's the same people almost every time that you go to.
Starting point is 00:37:13 You'll recognize faces. You'll start, you know, it's like the chick in the Luigi hat. She's at every single one of them. And then they have the Elon Musk is a Nazi signs. And I actually confronted one of them the other day saying, you know, what do you mean? What does that mean that Elon Musk is a Nazi? They can't answer the question question they called the police to tell the police to come get me away it's a signal to other cult members that this is the bad man and
Starting point is 00:37:33 i'm with you and and that's the thing it's like you don't necessarily have to pay these people to come out because it gives them this feeling of oh i'm doing good i'm doing something for the world i'm part of something because other other than that, they're useless. They're not particularly intelligent people, obviously. And they're trying to fit in somewhere. That's why you have the, you know, all the weird trans stuff now. It's like, oh, I'm just, I can fit into this group now. That's the entire point of a lot of these people showing up. They feel like they're part of something and they have value at some point. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:08 So if you're a bored college kid and you hear that there's going to be a big protest, you're like, I ain't got nothing else to do. But now here's the best part. We're starting to see all these photos pop up where Democrats are standing behind podiums. They ain't got no protesters anymore. Right. And people are saying, that's weird. Why is that? Right.
Starting point is 00:38:19 All the funding. But there is one more thing before these layoffs happened. Right. And before these people were all put on leave, you had in the middle of the day, in the middle of the business day, you had federal employees out there protesting in the middle. And that just proves everybody's point. Everybody's point. You can't – and then I think it was yesterday I saw on CNN some chick – I watch CNN because I i love it's comedy at this point to watch these people and she spends 10 minutes on cnn a federal employee in the middle of the business day whining about how much time it was going to take her to respond to this email and think about
Starting point is 00:38:54 everything she had to do last week and i'm like in the time you spent whining on cnn in the middle of the business day you could have responded to that email five times oh yeah it's ridiculous it is that was pretty wild yeah that was one of the things that I was wondering about too is people kept going on news shows to complain about having to respond to an email. And I'm like, if my boss came to me and said, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:13 tell me five things you did last week, I'd be like, I could give you a hundred like in five minutes. I could tell you five things I did in the last hour. Right. Here's the best thing.
Starting point is 00:39:21 It's a huge amount of stuff. Every single time Ian is on this show, when the guests walk in ian goes so what are you working on imagine being a democrat and they're gonna go next time i'm gonna protest here i'll be like no this is not fair i think a lot of people ask everybody and i go i go in save it for the show like we wanted to explain the stuff they're working on like live and he's oh okay but it it is it is not strange like if i went to any office like my friend if i if my friend said hey you want to come uh stop by my office and see what's
Starting point is 00:39:49 going on sure and i go to the office and he works in marketing and there's like this is my team uh this so-and-so i'll be like cool cool so what do you guys work on could you imagine oh i can't i don't have time to answer that are you are you joking what you're sitting your computer i think a lot of these people felt really insulted too i. I think that they didn't like being called out. They didn't like being told to disrupt the chain of command. I think that their pride was insulted in a lot of cases. Absolutely. I mean, sure, it's stupid, but I think that some of them felt that way.
Starting point is 00:40:16 I think the truth is they just don't do anything. How much pride can you have by being a sit-at-home mouse wiggler for the federal government? Every two hours or so, just wiggle the mouse. You'll be fine. Otherwise, it'll notify. Right. Logic. I think Elon's play here – look, man.
Starting point is 00:40:34 You know what's funny? These liberals and leftists – I love reading their subreddits. I love reading – watching their shows. It is crazy how low IQ they are. I don't understand. I think it's unfair to say low IQ because maybe they have great spatial reasoning, but they can't comprehend the basic social function. When you play a game of chess, I'm sitting and look at the board and I say, okay, I'm going to move my knight here.
Starting point is 00:40:55 When I do, my opponent has seven options to try and counter me that I'm expecting. If he moves here, I'll make move A. If he moves here, I'll make move A. If he moves here, I'll make move B. If he moves here, I'll make move C. That's called multi-layered thinking. And that's called planning ahead. Democrats can't understand that. So when Elon Musk says answer the email and then Kash Patel and Tulsi say to their to their departments, don't they go, oh, Elon got burned. His plan didn't work. And I'm like, Elon moved a piece, waited to see the response. He will then move the piece again. The plan isn't over. He's not given up. And I think what these people don't realize, because they lack the cognitive capabilities,
Starting point is 00:41:36 is that this email test does a bunch of things. It tests whether emails exist. If you don't answer, maybe there's no email. The first thing that's going to happen is going to put an email and he's going to say respond. People don't respond. They're told by Trump, Tulsi and Keshe. You don't have to just ignore it. Red flag to all those accounts, not to fire them, but to red flag. Why? Anybody who is deeply passionate and really care about their job is going to be like, oh, boy,, yo, Elon, hey man, I'm working on this project, man. I need help. I've been trying to get my boss to look at this thing we're doing and he won't listen. Lazy people are going to be like, okay, whatever.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Anybody who doesn't respond gets a red flag. It doesn't mean you fire them, but now the magnifying glass is on them. Let it be. And the people who deeply care are going to respond being like, finally, please, I've been working so hard on this project. Or even the people who feel like they don't want to tell you what they're doing because it's classified or whatever would reply with like, I'm working on a whole bunch of things.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I can tell you very vaguely. I'm CCing my manager who can tell you more in depth if that's what's needed. It's just an email. It shouldn't be that hard. No, and the people that Tim you know tim tim is is you know pointing the finger at her talking about why would they assume that musk would be hostile to the people that that their boss that he is working in conjunction with in the administration why would they assume that it's a fight like it's like oh they just snapped elon down it's like no elon if
Starting point is 00:43:04 you told elon musk hey the people that have security clearances probably shouldn't send emails to you in unsecured fashion talking about the projects they're working on musk would say oh yeah that makes perfect sense like it's ridiculous to think that it would be antagonistic kevin could like you do contracting and stuff could you imagine like one of your clients or something being like hey i was out of town what were you working on last week and just being like uh no i'm not gonna tell you absolutely not gonna go on cnn and call him a threat to democracy yeah we go through every day of what i did i was like oh i sanded the cabinets this day i put the paint on this day and honestly i was just thinking if why wouldn't you want like a response from
Starting point is 00:43:42 somebody like elon musk to like literally help you be more efficient in your projects yeah that's a really good point he mentioned at one point that you might get a promotion yeah you might get a promotion or a promotion right yeah if you answer they're not adverse they're not going to be adversarial it's it's these people that are extremely online and they're ideologically opposed to trump and musk just because of their ideology they're not going to be like, oh, man, Musk isn't going to be like, oh, man, this is this is such a blow to Doge. And now we should just stop doing what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:44:11 And it's like it's such a ridiculous thing to even think would come up. They're not going to be adversarial. It's just stupid. Well, you got to think about this part as well. And this is the biggest takeaway that i have from it is obviously democrats lost the plot a long time ago but you have to think of the americans sitting at home right now and and democrats making this massive fuss about federal workers having to respond to this this 5.2 minute email what do you think people sitting at home are thinking about this you think they're siding
Starting point is 00:44:41 with the democrats and be like oh that's such a shame these people that i'm paying with this that what an injustice that's not what they're thinking no that's why doge's approval rating is so high yeah and you know and the argument that it's not high i think that that's i think that's that's i i don't buy it at all there's not a single poll that shows them underwater yeah and i also think that you know you have the pundits and the democrats freaking out about doge but you don don't have, like you guys are saying, you don't have the voters freaking out. And I think the voters aren't freaking out, you know, both Republican voters, independent voters and Democrat voters, because we all are out here with jobs. We all know what it is to have a job. We know what it is to pay taxes.
Starting point is 00:45:17 And most of us are really, you know, those of us who have withholding tax are really sick of seeing all that money just get extracted from our paychecks so that we can continue to have bad roads, trans operas in Peru and all of these workers who can't even respond to a damn email. Come on. Let's jump to the story from The New York Post. John Stewart cuts open his hand while smashing mug in anger at ex-president Biden. I'll be going to the hospital soon. The first thing I want to say is he did cut his hand in an obvious pre-scripted bit where he'd break a mug. And that's fine. You can tell because he moved the lamp out of the way. Right. And he wasn't angry. It was a bit. He was making a joke by smashing the mug. The important point of the story is not that he cut his hand open. I hope he's OK.
Starting point is 00:46:00 It's that he was playing this game of, yes, he calls himself Doge curious and says we want to cut waste, fraud and abuse. And then he does what he's always done best. Obvious gates the issue to confuse lower cognitive functioning individuals to pull them away from the obvious truth. What's happening right now with Doge is that they're going where people are. They're going to departments that are giving away money that are paying people who aren't working and they're cutting wasteful spending and abuse right away because that is a threat to the establishment machine. John Stewart has to be in opposition to what Trump is. But how can he when Doge is a popular concept, cutting wasteful spending. Who's going to disagree with that, especially if they say we will give you a five thousand dollar check once we pull two trillion in funding. So Jon Stewart says, I'm Doge curious. I like the idea, but they're in
Starting point is 00:46:55 the wrong place. We got to cut tax subsidies for big corporations. And then he says, excuse me, because they're they're they're they're screwing you over at a diddy party and making you pay for the baby oil. The simple point is this. Jon Stewart's whole bit is that the answer to wasteful spending is to increase taxes on corporations and not at all to fire people, wasting money, stealing money or defunding the government or not at all to lower your taxes. His whole segment is no, Trump is bad. Trump is is is firing people, but it doesn't do anything. We need to raise taxes on corporations. And my response just is there's going to be people who fall for it. They're like, yeah, well, who cares about gender studies? Why? Why is Walmart getting a tax subsidy? And it's like, OK, tax subsidy means a discount on their taxes.
Starting point is 00:47:45 They're not being given money, so we're not paying them. You're basically saying you want to raise their taxes. Okay, fine, I guess. But what does that have to do with what Doja's doing? Sure, absolutely. And, you know, another big point of this is, you know, we're not just talking about big businesses and everything. You know, we're talking about, okay, you'll see people on X and pretty much every other platform at this point whining about the fact oh well he just cut elon just cut five hundred thousand dollars like that's that's nothing for the federal government
Starting point is 00:48:13 it's like somebody worked their entire life to pay five hundred thousand i mean think about somebody 75 years old how much are they paying taxes their entire life does it get to the point where it's it's five hundred thousand dollars that's working an entire lifetime to pay off this measly uh five hundred thousand dollar bill uh to to fund gender studies and and transgender operas in cambodia i mean there should be like if you're in a certain tax bracket there should be a cap on how much money you spend in taxes in your lifetime. Somehow, that should work out. Holy cow, that is like the exact opposite of what Elad was talking about. Right, you're saying like the most tax you could ever pay would be like $10 million or something?
Starting point is 00:48:54 Whatever it is, yeah, I don't know. I just mostly I think that I should be done paying taxes. Or just not pay any taxes, are you? I'd imagine that would be a good amount, but not like I feel like I'm done. Like I've paid so much in taxes. I look at it. I'm like, damn, you guys took my money. Well, so the difficult thing is to the bleeding. The difficult thing now is to assess the rate by which we tax people.
Starting point is 00:49:17 I'd have to know how much you've paid. Oh, I can't reveal that. Right. So that's the issue. I mean, if we're but if we're talking But if we're talking about a low number, like after you pay $200,000 in taxes, you're done. Yeah. Then most people are done. Most people are done in their 20s probably.
Starting point is 00:49:33 I think a lot of people don't realize how much they spend in income taxes. It's so much money. And when I lived in New York, you had New York City taxes and state. I said taxes. Oh, okay. Even better. I like that even better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:46 But I was thinking income taxes specifically. But in New York City, you pay city taxes and you pay state taxes and then you pay federal taxes. Yep. Plus you pay, you know, what, like 8.75 sales taxes. That's crazy. Yeah. There's a lot of that. I can't believe there are people that still live in New York City.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I can't believe they have- Well, it's the greatest city on earth. It just, in new york city i can't believe the greatest city on earth it just you know it's what it's the greatest city on earth that is not correct according to who according to me obviously i'm the one talking i disagree um it's better than philadelphia put your garbage on this on right in front of your buildings just out better than dc uh well sure it's better than L.A. No. No, I don't even, I can't even go there with that. They don't have a trash service. It's better than L.A. They do have trash service. You can walk everywhere.
Starting point is 00:50:28 San Diego's absolutely beautiful. You can walk everywhere. It's great year-round. Yeah, I'm sorry. San Diego's better than New York. I'm not saying San Diego's the best year, though. Why would you want to? Honolulu's pretty great, too.
Starting point is 00:50:38 I've never been there. It's pretty awesome. Listen, Libby, New York smells like sour milk. Not all the time. Sometimes it smells like maple syrup. The sun comes out and that sour milk is strong through the air. Maple syrup. It's true, man.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Yo, New York stabbed in the subway. I never got stabbed. Thankfully. My mom's boyfriend got stabbed when I was a kid. I didn't. I know someone that did. I never got stabbed, but I know someone that did. How many people do you know that have been stabbed around here?
Starting point is 00:51:02 I mean, I don't know. I don't know. A homeless person slept in my car the other night. What? Greatest city on earth. Yeah. Here. It's here.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Wait, wait, wait. Someone opened your car and went into your car? I got out of my, I went to my car in the morning and it reeked of cigarettes. And I don't smoke cigarettes. And no one's been in my car who smokes cigarettes. Is the door locked? No, I didn't lock the car. I forgot to lock the car.
Starting point is 00:51:23 I live in a rural area. Well, I don't think anyone slept in it. Someone smoking may have rifled through your car. Someone went in my car. So wait, you don't live in New York City, but you're saying that it's the greatest city in the world. Why don't I live there? Well, I used to live there, and now I bought a house around here. I'd probably flee, too, because, no, everybody, you know.
Starting point is 00:51:39 It's like, at this point, you go to, look, I mean, I'm beating a dead horse here, but you go to New York, you can't even afford, unless you have a decent income, you can't even afford to go visit New York at this point. Well, no, visiting New York is way more expensive. Let's talk about railroad apartments. Those should be illegal. Yes, those should be legal. But visiting is way more expensive than living there. So they'll call it a three bedroom.
Starting point is 00:52:00 It's like a shotgun shack. Okay. It'll say three bedroom apartment. And what it is, is there's a living room and then there's a door in the middle of on each each wall and you walk into the next one and there's another room and that's bedroom one and then you walk through bedroom one to get to bedroom two and then you walk through bedroom two to get to bedroom three so when you live in a railroad apartment with roommates you're the middle of your room is the hallway and this is how people in New York live.
Starting point is 00:52:27 You think it's a third world country? Is that even legal? I didn't think that was legal. And the crazier still is the bachelor apartments are becoming more and more popular, which is terrifying. I lived in LA, and I knew some people they were skateboarders and they rented bachelor apartments. Why? They don't care. They're scuzzy skateboarders
Starting point is 00:52:42 who make minimum wage working at a burger shop. And they're like, bro, it's 300300 a month and I get a place to sleep. Bachelor apartments, you know what that is? It is a single room that's probably like 5 by 10. Yes, super. Well, no, maybe it's like maybe 8 by, no, not by 20. Are these like little pita tear type of things? You walk in a building and you basically have a closet with a window.
Starting point is 00:53:05 And you have a bed. No wonder you're a bachelor. You have a bed in it. It's a bachelor. They're called bachelor apartments. The bathrooms are all shared. And it's a couple hundred bucks a month. That used to be a, wow, you must be broke.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Like it was for temporary workers and people who are, you know, just otherwise not able to afford something. They're common now among Gen Z in New York. Gen Zers post videos where they're like, this one costs $1,800 and there's no bathroom. There's a sink. It's one room with a sink in it. And they're like, can't afford it. That's what New York has become. And the sour milk smell. Like everybody knows the sour milk smell. Well, maybe more of us should live on the Gulf of America. We've got like five states bordering the Gulf the gulf of america we went to new york we did a big times square campaign and got a bunch of billboards up and we were like we're gonna bring all the crew and we're gonna
Starting point is 00:53:54 go and take pictures the billboards because you know like we're doing a big marketing thing that morning as we were arriving in new york a man took a machete, walked it to an old lady, and just slashed her in the back. Just. Listen, they're ruining it for sure, but it was really good. I mean, when we had. You're backtracking now. I still think it's the best city on earth. Yes, but then all of that being said, they also filmed the Daily Show there.
Starting point is 00:54:21 It's filmed in New York. The Trevor. Isn't that Trevor Noah? No, it's Jon Stewart. It was Jon Stewart. It't that trevor noah no it's john stewart it was yeah i don't watch that show it's really funny how trevor noah became alt-right did you know do you see that video oh the one where it turns out he's really pro-segregation no no he's all right he literally said fin fin uh finland for the fins like i'm not trying to be cute by saying he's all right uh trevor noah of The Daily Show, had a viral podcast video.
Starting point is 00:54:47 It was at TimCastNews. Follow at TimCastNews. We were tweeted. We posted this where he literally says, did you ever notice that things are going really well in Finland? Why? Because they're all Finnish. He then says, Trevor Noah says if a black person shouts, he knows what they're saying
Starting point is 00:55:02 because they're black. Yeah, that's right. Just like. And he was talking about segregation. And I just like in favor of it but he's not talking about it's it's that's in favor of separate like race-based society yes but it goes more than that it's it's i i would agree is arguing for segregation but at the national level when he argued that finland should be for the fins i was like, it's the most basic thing he's ever said. This guy should have a conversation with some white nationalists because they're going to
Starting point is 00:55:27 completely agree with him. Did he realize what he was saying? Yes. And he said, he said the end, he said the problem with segregation was that certain black folks couldn't get bank loans. And obviously that's all bad oppression. But his argument was black people should be in. This is what Trevor Noah argued separate. And he argued that Finland works because they're all Finnish. And they and then he says he's like, like, if you shut up me, I know what you're saying because you're black. And it's like, I got to be honest, guys, I'm need your help on this one. See, I come from a mixed background. So maybe I'm lacking the ability to understand the guttural grunts from individual races.
Starting point is 00:56:04 But do you as pure blooded white people understand each otherural grunts from individual races, but do you as pure-blooded white people understand each other's grunts like Trevor Noah does? I don't know how many grunts I'm getting. Do you grunt? I mean, he's from Philadelphia. They have their own dialect. We whistle.
Starting point is 00:56:18 When I'm in the grocery store and I lose my kid or whatever, if I just go, yo, I'm the only one. He knows where I am. He finds me. But Trevor Noah said, if you shout at me, I know what you are saying because you're black. And it's like, is there race language that I don't know about? I thought that was weird, too.
Starting point is 00:56:35 I was like, I understand cultural cues. Like, you know, when you move around regionally in the United States, like sometimes you won't understand cultural cues that are going on. But I don't really think that they're race. To me, like they're regional based. They're regionally based. When I moved out here, I didn't always understand what people were saying. It took me a while to understand that when somebody
Starting point is 00:56:56 says bless your heart, they don't really mean a nice thing to you. Yeah, they're saying you're naive. Right. Which apparently, you know, works. Right. But like there's know, works. Right. But like there's cultural cues all over the place. Sure.
Starting point is 00:57:08 And everyone, I think, agrees with that. Trevor Noah's point was that it's like his argument was literally if you take two black people and put them in a forest and they're from two parts of the planet and they walk up to each other, they're going to make grunting sounds and understand each other. That's pretty weird. That's very weird. Yeah. What is he? Is that not true with Asians? Well, I'm saying I must lack this ability
Starting point is 00:57:29 because I certainly have never understood any guttural sounds from Asians. Yeah. So how do you keep up with it in your greatest city on Earth over there when you have everybody from countries... You're never going to get me to say New York. But you go there and the front was
Starting point is 00:57:46 great in the late 80s and well that's when my mom's boyfriend got stabbed right but it was also it was also good in the 90s and the early 2000s you know trump came in right cleaned up that town yeah and he made it the number one city yeah he did a great job giuliani and then bloomberg came in and injected just like millions and millions of dollars of his own cash. You know, there'd be like a budget shortfall for the Met. And he'd be like, oh, here's a little anonymous. It's anonymous, you guys. And be like, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:58:15 But it is insane to see how much they are fighting against what. Yeah, I don't see Eric Adams as a I don't think he's been red pilled. I don't think he's a Republican. He's definitely not MAGA, but they have totally turned against him and you know they were trying to push for this literal socialist that i mean radical i mean he may even be communist well there was maya wiley too i mean she's the one who literally went into the house and was like a woman is anyone who says she is and it's like oh. What is in the water in New York that's making these people think this way?
Starting point is 00:58:46 How can you live? The water comes from upstate. Upstate, okay. With natural pressure. Right. Yeah, from the... Some aqueducts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:53 That's cool. And you know there's a secret stream in New York? Yeah, really. They built a building over it, but you can look over a wall and see the original stream is still there. That's very cool. There's a guy who made a video 10 years ago about it.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Went viral. Yeah. And it smells like sour milk. So I will go there. I can't. Let's drink it out of that. Let's jump to this next story. This one is very spicy.
Starting point is 00:59:17 So let's just make sure we keep this one as this story gets increasingly terrifying. We'll keep this one family friendly. Guys are going to be careful. Texas rancher killed by suspected cartel IED on Mexican border as authorities warn of growing threat. Yeah, Trump's been warning of this threat. A Texas border rancher was killed near the border by a suspected cartel IED earlier this month. The Texas Department of Agriculture told the Post Tuesday. His officials issued an urgent safety warning for the Rio Grande Valley. Rancher Antonio Cispedes Salderna, 74, who works on both sides of the border,
Starting point is 00:59:52 along with Horacio Lopez Peña, were killed in the blast in Tamaulipas, Mexico, which is just south of Brownsville, Texas. Lopez's wife, Ninfa Griselda Ortega, was hospitalized with injuries. Man, take a look at this. The blast occurred just out of Brownsville. So, look, Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller said that an explosion is part of a growing threat posed by cartel activity and encourages ranchers to exercise extreme caution. I encourage everyone in the agricultural industry to stay vigilant, remain aware of their surroundings surroundings and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement additionally you can avoid dirt roads and remote areas refrain from touching unfamiliar objects that could be explosive devices limit travel to
Starting point is 01:00:33 daylight hours stay on main roads and avoid cartel controlled regions this is just avoid mexico is well this but this is important this is presumably an American man, two American men, presumably. I don't know. Texas rancher. Donald Trump has has has named many of these cartels as terrorist organizations, which opens the door to drone strikes. Exactly. Yep. What action would Donald Trump take knowing that Americans are now being killed, suspected killed by individuals expected to be cartels planting bombs the united states has has had has used our military to go after cartels in the past and it's not so there there is precedent for this um i don't think that it's outside of the realm of possibility to think that the u.s will just put drones in the air over Mexico. Mexico does not have the ability to say no. They don't have the ability to stop us.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I don't think they have a significant air force. I'm not I mean, I don't know about Mexico's military, but if they can't keep the cartels from taking over significant portions of the country, I'm confident they don't have the ability to stop the stop the United States. And if the Mexicans I mean mean it was 36 people were murdered 36 people that were trying to become the Mexican president until shine bomb finally they allowed her to become the president 36 people the Mexican government is not in control of Mexico it's the cartels so the United so the United States reason to say, look, if you can't control this territory and these people are actually killing Americans on American soil, then we're going to do something. The trafficking alone has killed millions and millions and millions upon Americans. I would like to see. What do we do? Let's send in a predator drone to Mexico.
Starting point is 01:02:20 You know, take these guys out. What's Mexico going to do about it? How are they going to stop us? They can't even keep the name of their own body of water. This is arguably a declaration of war on Mexico. We're talking roadside bombs right at the border? You've got to be kidding me. Where was it?
Starting point is 01:02:36 So I know that it's on the border, but the border is a very, very thin line. Where was it? Was it in the United States or was it in Mexico? A lot of these ranches, they sort of span. Where was the bomb? Because the wall was not the marker of the border. It was in Mexico. It was in Mexico?
Starting point is 01:02:52 It was a drone then? IED? It was an IED. And they're saying that it was in Mexico, south of Brownsville, Texas. But was it an American man working on both sides? If Americans are being killed at, near, or south of the border, we've got a problem. I don't know that we could drone strike because Congress would need to make a declaration. Mexico would have to be involved.
Starting point is 01:03:14 You could theoretically issue mark and reprisal letters. But now you're basically saying we're going to allow privateers to go into the border to deal with the cartels. And that's opening up the door to more chaos than there already is to be fair though i'm not saying we do nothing something has to be done to deal with this maybe the heavy troop presence will be enough i don't know it's possible that we also know what you have to figure out when the ied was placed too when was it placed was it recent are they are they further militarizing themselves at this point you know against, against a possible incursion by American troops? I mean, what's going on there? Why was this IED placed in that location? And I don't
Starting point is 01:03:51 know if you've been, I just got back from this area, south of Brownsville, Texas, Matamoros, which is, whatever it is, that's the Mexican state where Matamoros is. And you have this wall and you see these big gates in the wall because Americans own farms that are on both sides of the wall. So it's very, it's, it's a good chance that this guy owned the farm that straddles the border and just went directly over and they placed it in his farm. Right.
Starting point is 01:04:21 So that's. And you had the story of the, was the guy in arizona who got criminally charged with uh shooting an illegal immigrant passing over his property yeah and he said i i can't remember exactly what he said but there were gunshots and he fired back and then they didn't care and the biden administration wanted to make sure that he went to prison i mean the biden administration was abject evil yeah in the targeting of of just regular americans over insane things i'm not sure that the i'm not positive about this, but if they if the cartels are designated as terrorists, it might still the the authorization to use a military force might still cover that.
Starting point is 01:04:57 I believe it does. The AUMF that they gave to Bush was for the Middle East. Was it only was it region specific? The authorization for use of military force, I believe, was was for the Middle East. Was it region specific? The authorization for use of military force, I believe, was specifically targeting the Middle East. Because I thought that it was the authorization to go after international terror
Starting point is 01:05:14 rings, because they were all over the world. It was the AUMF in 2001 for Bush was specifically to go after those who planned, authorized, committed or aided the September 11th attacks. Okay. So then what was... There was a 2003 AUMF.
Starting point is 01:05:29 That was to go into Iraq because Congress didn't want to vote in war. I believe, yeah. I believe that was 03. Authorization for use of military force, 03. Okay, maybe not. That was 2002. Okay okay and it was specifically for iraq okay but does anybody really believe that trump is going to base his decision as to whether or not he'll drone strike cartels based on uh what the mexican president has to say about
Starting point is 01:05:56 again the the mexican president is a puppet like there's no question wouldn't have gotten in there there's no way for her to get in there with 36 people died, and then she was the one that got elected. And why did they let her in? Because she's a puppet. If you genuinely wanted to get rid of the cartels in Mexico, if you're the Mexican president, why would you work so hard to block the greatest, the strongest, most capable military in the world from going in there and eradicating the cartels. I mean, you remember how many candidates were assassinated, though, before they before they elected? Like this one can go.
Starting point is 01:06:33 I mean, the United States literally should just say, listen, you don't have the ability to stop this. Americans are dying. So we're going to stop it. Any action that Mexico takes, I've seen it myself even under, I know Trump has put more pressure on them now and they might be doing something a little bit different but I was down there right, I was standing
Starting point is 01:06:56 next to the Mexican National Guard they saw people being trafficked over the border, they chose to do nothing about it, I was, they were like oh well, they're too far gone. We can't locate them. So I went on foot myself and went and tracked down these people that were being trafficked over the border by the cartels.
Starting point is 01:07:12 They're not interested in stopping it. It's all a farce. They're just acting like it. They, in their mind, they don't have any incentive to do so. They can't be trusted. It has to be our troops at the end of the day. Okay. So what did you guys think of this proposal for like a privateer type of force?
Starting point is 01:07:27 Yeah, market reprisal. Yeah, what did you guys think about that? I think it's a bad idea. I don't know. Look, you're basically telling Mexico we're authorizing PMCs, private groups, to go in there and start dealing with cartels. There's going to be war on their...
Starting point is 01:07:39 That seems warish, yeah. Well, it's not that we're declaring war, but basically like, we'd basically be saying, you've got cartels, we're going to be sending in our violent guys with guns to go stop them, and it's not that we're declaring war, but basically like you've we'd basically be saying you've got cartels. We're going to be sending in our violent guys with guns to go stop them. And it's going to be chaos in Mexico. Right. They're going to be like, nah, Mexico has already been trying to, like, sue American gun manufacturers. I mean, that's the best. Marker proposal may be the only answer. That would just be no good answer.
Starting point is 01:07:59 The idea that the response to the United States declaring the cartels terrorists, the response by the Mexican government, by the president, President Scheinbaum, is that we're going to expand legal action against gun manufacturers in the United States. That's absolutely ridiculous because they're blaming people that make guns in the U.S., for sale in the U.S., for the problems of the cartels.
Starting point is 01:08:25 You don't have the ability to police your own damn country, and you're blaming arms manufacturers in the United States? Unacceptable. Unacceptable. They don't even attempt to try to stop the flow into Mexico. Because they'll die. I went into Mexico without a passport. I just walked across the border because they don't ask for it. You just walk through.
Starting point is 01:08:45 Okay, you could, you know, they have no idea what I have. You went to a non-port of entry, you're saying? No, no, no. I went to a port of entry and I just walked through. I mean, not that you couldn't just walk, you know, across, around the wall. When you drive in, they just wave you through. You don't stop. From the United States into Mexico, from San Diego to Tijuana, you're driving and you slow down to like like five miles an hour, and they just go, just fan you in.
Starting point is 01:09:07 When you're coming back, however, the Americans stop and check your passports. That's why I think it's a bad idea to do the privateering, because it could just open the door to what we've seen in Ukraine, where people just are selling arms on the black market. Is that what's going on in Ukraine? I mean, I've... Because you've been yeah we
Starting point is 01:09:25 reported on that a few years ago when jack and i went over but yeah they they will offer donations to mercenaries and and then you send your money over there and it just gets spent on totally different things isn't what you sent the money for so is that actually one of the and you may or may not know this but you know there's like we don't know where a lot of this the stuff went that we sent over there are these billions and billions and billions so is that what's happening it's being sent over there and then it's being sold off being auctioned off being given to mercenaries like what's the well that's that's what i witnessed when i was over there i can't say that's the case for a hundred percent of the money well nobody knows where a hundred percent of the money nobody knows where 50 of the money is at this point so
Starting point is 01:10:04 no well apparently as we saw in tucker a lot Tucker, a lot of the arms that went over there ended up getting into the hands of the cartels. Yep. Coming back for us. We got breaking news, ladies and gentlemen. This just from Jesse Waters. Tulsi Gabbard says that 100 plus intelligence officials involved in the deep state sex chat will have their security clearances revoked. Let's let's play the clip now. Apparently this just aired. Well, Jesse, what we're going to do has already been done. There are over 100 people from across
Starting point is 01:10:36 the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in this. What is really just an egregious violation of trust, what to speak of like basic rules and standards around professionalism. I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked. But the thing here, Jesse, is we got to take a step back because this is just barely scratching the surface. When you see what these people were saying. And thanks to Chris Rufo for putting it all out online. They were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use to conduct this kind of really, really horrific behavior. And they were brazen in doing
Starting point is 01:11:20 this because when was the last time anyone was really held accountable? Certainly not over the last four years, certainly not over the last 10, maybe 20 years. And we look at some of the biggest violations of the American people's trust in the intelligence community. So today's action in holding these individuals accountable is just the beginning of what we're seeing across the Trump administration, which is carrying out the mandate the American people gave him. Clean house, root out that rot and corruption and weaponization and politicization. So we can start to rebuild that trust in these institutions that are charged with an important mission of serving the American people, ensuring our safety, security and freedom. Wow. That's that's amazing. It's got to go further.
Starting point is 01:12:06 We got we got action from the government. This is something we never would have seen under the Biden administration. Absolutely. These individuals who are clearly look, look, I just want to make sure this is understood by everybody. The same people who demand we get these workplace sexual harassment seminars where they tell you you can't do this we're literally doing it and i they're the same ones and let me just say somewhat figuratively what i mean is it is these left liberal types who are screaming on inequality oppression and intersectional what whatever and what's it which would which would their their policies would ban the behaviors they're engaged in and they do it anyway anyway. And now they're all fired, and they should be,
Starting point is 01:12:46 and they've got their clearances revoked. They're never going to work intelligence again. Yeah. Yeah, there's been, oh, go ahead. Well, it needs to go further than this, because now we have to look at who did they target? These people had these security clearances, these top-level security clearances.
Starting point is 01:13:00 Who were they going after? Who were they pulling dirt on? I mean, you see uh like lips of tiktok kaya reichick was specifically mentioned in one of these weird sex chats really yeah uh and so they have this pretty much unfettered access to i mean you've seen what what the intelligence community is capable of and tapping people's cell phones digging into their emails and going after parents right that needs to be investigated who did they talk if they're calling kaya reichick a terrorist and they if they believe that what did they do to her were they reading her emails
Starting point is 01:13:34 were they reading her text messages they had the ability to that needs to be investigated and if they did jail it's it's sort of it's been true across the board and it's been such a short period of time that the trump administration has been clearing house, clearing house over here in this in this area. They're dealing with the FBI. People have already been reassigned. The IRS agents are looking at being reassigned. said that the White House Correspondents Association, basically, like the press pool would be taken over by the White House and they wouldn't let the rot in that organization keep seeping in, you know. And that's actually all because of Kevin over here, who's coined Gulf of America. And then the next thing you know, all hell breaks loose.
Starting point is 01:14:20 The AP gets banned and the White House Correspondents Association doesn't even have any standing in the White House anymore. Amazing. It's amazing. But they're just they're clearing everything out. How did you feel about that, Kevin, when you found out that not only did the AP get banned, but the entire way that the press organization is working at the White House has changed all because of the Gulf of America? It feels incredible. Honestly, yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:44 I mean, it's just the domino meme, you know, me on a wave runner, and now all of a sudden everybody has to put an application in to get in the White House press briefing. Well, at this point, you know, you see the signs. So the White House Correspondents Association went all, we stand with the AP. They were putting up signs in the briefing room saying that. It's like, okay, yeah, go stand with AP on the sidewalk.
Starting point is 01:15:03 You can report from outside. It's been two weeks. It's been 14 days i looked it up yeah since they've been allowed in but people don't understand this they're like oh well you know why doesn't somebody like nick sorter why doesn't tim pool have a spot in the white house uh briefing room well that's because up until now it was controlled by the cartel known as the white house correspondence association and the controlled by the left one i chair, I believe, is like a, I think she's a reporter for NBC. And the argument that you always hear is,
Starting point is 01:15:29 oh, well, this is an attack on free speech, which is the same argument they make when you talk about getting rid of books that are sexually explicit in schools. But just like that argument, curation and deciding who is and is not allowed in is not a limit on free speech it is just a limit on the space inside of the room if if the if the administration decides that they don't want
Starting point is 01:15:53 to let this particular organization in they have every right to do that because they exclude hundreds and probably thousands of press organizations from actually being able to access the white house well the biden administration you remember them like we'd never see any of this stuff if it was joe biden they never see joe biden either did they sue over that either but like do you remember joe biden would stand there and when he did take questions how many times did he take questions from the press like four or five times in his entire four years. Maybe he was walking by into the house or off the helicopter. But when he did actually take questions,
Starting point is 01:16:27 he had a list of people that he would read from. And he'd be like, oh, you with the AP. Pre-selected questions, pre-selected reporters. And then if he'd go off that and choose somebody, I'm going to get in trouble. I'm going to get in trouble. They're going to yell at me. And it's not a law.
Starting point is 01:16:41 It's not a law. It's a policy in a way. So AP is suing, obviously, the Trump administration over lack of transparency or whatever. But they never took any legal action against Joe Biden for banning everybody from the Oval Office. Biden banned like 440 people. AP was quick to follow on policy when they changed the name from Kiev to Kiev. Right, right, right. They're quick to make policy changes on that, but not.
Starting point is 01:17:05 A mom to inseminated person. I mean, that's fake news if I've ever heard about it. That is such trash. Yeah. Natural parent instead of father. But they have an entire, it's called the AP style book, and it's like cancer. You can go in and read it, and it is just. You capitalize black and white.
Starting point is 01:17:22 Back to the intelligence community. Lowercase white. Exactly. Which I don't know how that segue happened. We're talking about Tulsi Gabbard firing a bunch of people, and I'm curious, with her as director of national intelligence saying she's going to fire 100-plus people, I'm wondering if the move that Elon, Trump, Cash Dan, and many others may make next is going to be targeting the most minute of reasonable cause firings that is anything anybody's anybody has done that that is cause you're fired hopefully i mean look if you're going to actually make significant cuts you have to fire people and you have to have cause to fire
Starting point is 01:17:59 people so they're probably going to say look these you have broken this rule this rule this rule i mean it's just like when when a company starts like having a pattern of behavior they'll start looking for any if they want to get rid of you they're going to look for little things to to to say that you've done when they get enough that they feel they can actually bring you in front of hr they bring you into hr said look these things you've done and those things might get overlooked with anyone else for they might be no reason or no big deal but if they decided that they want to fire you for whatever reason they come up with as many reasons as they can so that way they have pretty egregious though absolutely yes yes if i discovered something like this happening at my organization i'd be like hey you're all 100 but that's not the point
Starting point is 01:18:41 the point is like tim said if they're going to be looking for all of the little reasons, that's exactly how they're going to have to come up with justification because right now you end up with lawsuits and you end up with unions trying to defend people. So you have to have as many reasons as many small reasons as possible so that way you don't have to
Starting point is 01:18:59 answer for every individual person that gets fired or to a court, which i think eventually it's going to end up in front of the supreme court anyways and and the question at hand which we've talked about on the show multiple times does the executive have the authority to fire people or not and the and according to article two in the constitution the executive does because the agencies all come under right yeah you see that viral post from that woman where she claimed the DOJ was under legislative judicial control.
Starting point is 01:19:29 Yeah, totally ridiculous. Mike Cernovich tweeted, where in the Constitution does it say that the executive doesn't have control of the DOJ? And this PhD woman responds, oh, my God, they're so dumb. I can't believe they'd repost this. It's right here. And then posts about judicial controls, making the argument that the Department of Justice is under the judiciary, which it is not. It's an executive branch.
Starting point is 01:19:55 And that insults Mike Cernovich saying you're getting your news from a juice salesman. And I'm like, see, this is where we this is where liberals are. They're like, I have been given a piece of paper, so I'm smarter than you. It's like, OK, well, you're not. You were wrong, and this is terrifying that you live in this world. But these are communists. Not all of them, but these are the people who live in rigid hierarchical authority structures where if a person has a degree, they're better than you.
Starting point is 01:20:19 That's the way it works. It's like, could you imagine what it must be like to be a liberal where you sit down and you go, I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering. So I propose we do it this way. And he goes, I have a master's. And they go, oh, I'm sorry. It's like, listen, we're going to go over the proposals. Just because you have a degree doesn't immediately just give you the authority to say it.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Because otherwise, you know, these people with PhDs are some dumb MFers. Yeah. mfers yeah and it's frustrating because there's there's so many people that are looking to like we were talking about earlier just like be able to say oh look we we got to dunk on musk or dunk on any other person in the administration it's all for ideological reasons they have no desire to actually do something that benefits people they think oh if we can just keep people in these positions it's good for everybody when clearly it's not it's only good for people with a certain ideological disposition so i i i don't think that uh i don't i don't think that that there's anything that we're going to be able to do about it other than do as much firing as possible kevin o'leary was on
Starting point is 01:21:19 on cnn the other day and they were apoplectic apoplectic that he was saying this, but he was saying, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. And it's okay if you cut too much, because you can always rehire people. You can always find people to fill those positions. But cut as much as you can while you're cutting. Let's jump to this story, formally, from Fox News. Trump admin guts White House Correspondents Association in bid to end monopoly of D.C. journalists. The White House Correspondents Association has determined access to The White House Correspondents Association has been determined, has been determined, has determined access to the White House for decades. Eugene Daniels, who is the Politico chief playbook correspondent
Starting point is 01:21:54 and the W.H.C. president, has issued a statement. I'm not OK. I'm going to read it, but it's so cringe. He says this move tears the independence of a free press in the United States. It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president in the free country. Leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps. For generations, the working journalists elected to lead the White House Correspondents Association board have consistently expanded the W.H.C.A.'s membership in its pool, blah, blah, blah. Since its founding in 1914, don't care, blah, blah. To be clear, the White House
Starting point is 01:22:25 did not give the W.H.C.A. board a heads up or have any discussion about today's announcements. But the W.H.C.A. will never stop advocating for comprehensive access, blah, blah. Don't care. These are elitist, credentialist individuals who keep out anybody who doesn't toe their political line. It is a corrupt institution that should be disbanded in disgrace. And the Trump administration did the right thing by saying anyone can apply now. And they're making excuses by saying, so the government chooses. Well, yeah, the president doesn't need to give you the space in front of him to hear what he has to say. He chooses.
Starting point is 01:22:54 This all got started because the AP thought they had the right to be in the Oval Office whenever they wanted. Think about how insane this is. Trump says we're going to be doing this. We're going to be signing this executive order. Why don't we invite the press in to watch? Not UAP. And they said, well, you have to because we're entitled to be in there. Sued. And a judge blocked it, not on the grounds that they're not entitled. The judge blocked it because they couldn't demonstrate harm. And they said the information coming out is available to everybody. You get out of here.
Starting point is 01:23:30 What's crazy to me is that there's actually an argument that these people are making and judges may entertain that Trump is obligated to have the press staring at his face 100% of the time. That's insanity. So the AP said we should be allowed to be in your office when we decide, not you. So Trump says, OK, WHCA, you're gone. Now we're going to decide when people can come in and we invite them in as it should be. Well, and there's not there's limited space, right? The Oval Office only holds a certain number of people on Air Force One.
Starting point is 01:23:56 There's only 13 seats for reporters. And I read the brief that the White House submitted in response to the AP's suit that they gave to the judge. And in that brief, they laid out very clearly that the AP has not actually been harmed in any way because they still have access to all the pool reporting. That's the videos, the questions, the audio, photographs, anything else. And if you go to their website and you look at their stories since they've been banned from the Oval Office and the other locations, they still have the same exact kind of reporting that they did before. They still have the videos. They still have everything. And I thought it was pretty interesting that Caroline Leavitt today said in the White House that they would open up that seat to other journalists. Like, could you imagine like Tim Kast has a seat in the Oval Office or on Air Force One getting to
Starting point is 01:24:44 travel around. What? You're not going to dead name the Gulf of America. I know that for sure. I wouldn't do that. I was calling it Gulf of America before it was cool. Right? But you have to really think about it.
Starting point is 01:24:54 It's like there's only one condition. They can get their creds back tomorrow. All they have to do is just stop publishing fake news of whatever the Gulf of Mexico is. I don't even know what that is anymore. It is funny to say Gulf of America. You'll get it in. That's it. You get your heads back. Carol Leavitt is like the secretary of the interior has updated records to display this as the Gulf of America. And you've decided you will not report that. AP is like, yeah. And they're like, and then we can choose not to invite you in because these are private events. And they were
Starting point is 01:25:18 like, we'll sue you. It is it is just OK. I'm going to pause. Democrats, can I sue the next Democrat administration because they won't let me in the Oval Office? Yeah. What makes them better than you? I'm a reporter. Right. We got a big show. Got a big show. We we got a big show. Some say the biggest. And I'm going to sue the next time a Democrat's in office because they have to let me in. Those are their rules. Right. And then I'm going to sit there just staring at the president with my mouth hanging open. I know that under the Biden administration, when the post-millennial tried to just get questions answered, not even get into the White House, which we also tried to get press passes and nobody would ever get back to us. But I know that they wouldn't even answer questions. They'd answer questions like two, three weeks later, and it would be like, oh, you have to talk to somebody else. It's
Starting point is 01:26:03 totally useless. And now we've had like one of our reporters got in for a press briefing and it was no problem we have a hard pass you know that's cool um they're just much more receptive and open i mean you probably know this as you know somebody that that works in journal i don't know how long you've been in the industry but you know post millennial is a great publication pretty big publication and thanks and uh and and but the biden regime was revoking hard passes from people if they didn't like your question they would revoke your hard pass to the press briefing room or if they just didn't like your outlet they didn't they like they raked oan over the coals they were like you're not legitimate you know they were really cruel to conservative news outlets and calling them illegitimate just because those outlets weren't, you know, towing the party line.
Starting point is 01:26:47 Did the AP condemn that? No, the AP didn't say anything. As a matter of fact, I was just looking at that when Tim brought up the Eugene Daniels and the press secretary for or one of Josh Hawley's assistants said or assistant press secretary. I'm not sure. She said, can someone re-up the statement from the WHCA when Biden's press team was pre-screening press questions? I can't seem to find it. And who was this? Katrina Pearson or Jen Psaki, right? Yeah, Jen Psaki.
Starting point is 01:27:15 And then it was Karine Jean-Pierre. Yeah, neither of them. Let's talk about corporate journalists. There's an organization. I love them. You guys ever hear of freepress.net? Yep. They've been around for a long time. Free Press, they call it. Here's their page from
Starting point is 01:27:28 2019 advocating for the total banning of Alex Jones. Right. Free Press. Free Press called on Facebook to ban Alex Jones, and they said, hate speech is not free speech. These people do not believe in a free press. They are lying to you. The White House Correspondents Association is only angry because their ability to control the narrative has just been ripped away from them. How much do you want to bet they sold access? What do you think?
Starting point is 01:27:56 WHCA? Yeah. Absolutely. It's an oligarchy. That's all it is. Do you have to pay dues? Probably you have to pay dues. Probably.
Starting point is 01:28:02 But remember when Twitter was Twitter and verification was only for special people? Yeah, and it was hard to get verification. And then we learned they were selling it under the table. People who worked at Twitter would be like, I can get you verified. Just give me $10,000. And then you slide them the money, and then they'd go in the computers and verify you. And it turns out it's really easy, just like snip, snap, snip, snap. I got verified for the first time on Twitter when I got hired by vice and i said can you guys get me verified they went yep made a phone call and said verify our guy
Starting point is 01:28:30 and they said you got it boom i was verified well so the blue check thing on x you know where or it was twitter at the time when elon opened it up and let anybody do it the reaction that you're seeing from the whca right now is exactly the same reaction that these people had when anybody had the ability to buy blue check marks. It's the same thing. It's all status. You hear from the Fresh and Fit guys about how having Instagram verification, you could slide into any girl's DM because the verification means you're special.
Starting point is 01:28:59 That's what it was for journalists. So if you're an influencer on Instagram and you drive cars or whatever, you can get verified. But journalists don't really work on Instagram. So all these snot nose journalists earned their their or I should say that verification badge was a status symbol for them that they used. I guarantee it. I heard stories of these people like when you're verified, if they had a complaint with a company, they tweet, the company would freak out and be like, whoa, a verified person is causing problems. I had that experience, yeah. And then Trump – I'm sorry, Elon took it all the way from him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:32 Took it all the way. He said anyone can have it for five bucks or $8. Sorry. Yeah. Great equalizer. The $8 meme was great. Now you have people in their bios now that are people like, I didn't pay for this blue checkmark. They're mad. They don't want to be a part of that it's so so ridiculous it's it's been totally ridiculous but i mean it's always been a status symbol and a symbol of you
Starting point is 01:29:54 know you're one of the cool people and the fact that that was changed really bothered the people that like the status and it on the left, there's a lot of that. We're one of the good people. We're one of the, you know, we have the correct. I mean, that's the whole point of like political correctness, right? It doesn't matter if you believe it. It's I have the correct opinions. I'm one of the good guys.
Starting point is 01:30:18 I'm one of the special people. And that's exactly what goes on in Washington. If you work in D.C., it's I'm special. I work in the government. I have power. It's all this this this, you know, ego stroking that goes on. And it has has very little to do with whether or not you're actually valuable, whether or not what your contribution to the government is matters or not. that's all irrelevant. So I was actually, I really realized this when I was covering the speaker situation when McCarthy was ousted and I was really pushing for Jim Jordan. I wanted Jim Jordan in there. I like Jordan too. And so, yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:55 I mean, it was like the best option that and just documenting the play-by-play. And there was a group and he was talking to a group of reporters and this person came up to me and pulled me back and said, you're not allowed to be here because I wasn't credentialed. And I'm thinking this is somebody that works at the Capitol that is controlling access. No, it was some random reporter that had the hard press credentials trying to police whether or not I was allowed to be in the area. And I was with one of Matt Gaetz's guys at the time. He said, no, go tell her to go F herself. She can't do anything to you. I mean, that's something that you see a lot in authoritarian kind of communities
Starting point is 01:31:42 or situations, and you saw it with covid right like there were people that were very very anxious to police the behavior of other people that were not uh carrying out the proper covid procedures they want to be able to use that small little bit of power that little bit of authority they think they have and they want to be able to lord it over people you have these little fiefdoms in in.C. and they have this particular area they're the king of. And I'm in charge and I get to decide this and that. It's all about ego and all about, it's all about inflated ego and literally being able to abuse people
Starting point is 01:32:18 because you're in a position that you think you have authority over. Yep, and which actually makes the situation with all these federal employees that are saying, oh, it's such a travesty. We're getting fired for cause or whatever. The same people that were saying, oh, we should have fired everybody for not taking the COVID vaccine. And so there's a lot of satisfaction in that, Kev,
Starting point is 01:32:38 seeing these same people that were saying that all of us, us plebs should have been outcasted from society and such for not taking the vaccine. Yeah, and there was a lot of people that were very quick to do that. And they lost. And Trump won the popular vote and the popular mandate. And his approval rating is the best of his career. And they can cope and they can seethe. And we are now seeing Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, RFK Jr.
Starting point is 01:33:04 And it's been fantastic. I mean, did you see today, talking about Cash and Dan Bongino going and opening an investigation into James Comey now for Spygate? Oh, so satisfying. This is what we voted for right here. Wow. The gloves are off. The floodgates are open.
Starting point is 01:33:21 And Bongino doesn't, if you used to listen to him at all, every once in a while, he doesn't mess around. this is a guy that's going to go in there and the I would argue that the deputy director of the FBI after being appointed by the director is I mean that's the guy that runs day-to-day operations at the FBI he's the one that's actually calling a lot of the shots and uh and cash battalion that being the figure. So Dan Bongino being appointed was such a massive win. People will soon find out, you know, Dan is somebody that moves quickly and breaks things. And thank God the FBI needs that. There's probably no other organization in the federal government that needs to be broken into small pieces in the FBI.
Starting point is 01:34:01 And splintered into the wind. Thank you. Well, but I think with Dan and Cash getting in, I am much more optimistic as to what the FBI will be doing. And I think Cash is going to get them back to fighting crime and going after actual hard criminals. It's going to be great.
Starting point is 01:34:18 I think Cash, if you've ever listened to him, he's more like the, let's get him back to fighting crime. Dan is the we're going to wait out the corruption and destroy the deep state. I think they should have done that earlier instead of just firing everybody just now from that chat. I think they should have should have held him and investigated him so we could put him in jail. And honestly, you still can. Like they.
Starting point is 01:34:38 Oh, yeah. They can still investigate these people. OK. You know, that's what Nick was saying. Like, look into what they've been doing. How much you want to bet these people with extreme weird fetishes and left aligned proclivities likely were doing untoward things for political reasons. And you probably will find criminal actions. You know, you think about the FBI talking about how they're actually doing things now. I think FBI Houston has now busted two mass shootings in the past two weeks.
Starting point is 01:35:07 And one of them today, we found out, was a radical. Look back at the J6 situation and how many of those agents, thousands of them, dedicated every single day to tracking down grandmas walking through the Capitol. And now they're actually doing it. Now they're stopping mass shootings. That's something that deserves, you know, a little attention. There have been multiple mass shootings that the FBI has actually stopped before they happened. Right. There's been at least two that I know of.
Starting point is 01:35:36 And you never heard about a mass shooting that was stopped before this change in the administration. Right. And it almost became a meme where it was like, OK, well, how long until we hear the FBI say, oh, well, they were on our radar? It wasn't almost. It absolutely... Every time. You took the Bart meme, say the line, Bart,
Starting point is 01:35:52 they were on our radar. Hooray! You know, like, everyone knows that meme. So, yeah, that's something worth noting. The fact that the FBI actually has the capacity to do things that actually save lives as opposed to chasing down people that were legitimately not doing things wrong they were in the they went into the capitol but they didn't break anything they didn't you know didn't steal anything they
Starting point is 01:36:16 weren't violent there were there were some people in january 6th that maybe you can say that they they they caused a problem that they were violent, that should have been put in jail. But that wasn't the vast majority of them. 1,600 people were not fighting with the cops. There were a few hundred people that were fighting with the cops. And they completely and totally were overdoing the prosecution and investigations. We're going to go to Super Chat.

Bye, Casper Coffee. Let's read some super chats and some rumble rants. The Common Neighbor says, I am the walrus. Glad to hear it. Kyle says, I have great respect for Thomas Massey, Tim. Now that Matt Gaetz is out of Congress,
Starting point is 01:37:21 who has replaced him as your favorite member of Congress? I said this to Thomas Massey. It was him. Matt Gaetz, I said, was my favorite member because he ripped apart the IOU machine, the deep state neocon machine that was propping up McCarthy. I loved it. Massey was against that. But Massey is still one of the best. Now that Matt Gaetz has left. Well, it's a no brainer. I mean, Thomas Massey is the best. And I disagree with him on a lot of things. I often tweet disagreements with him, but he is one of the only, like, real people actually in Congress, and he's a good dude. He's a great dude, actually. He's my favorite member. Everybody agree? What else do you think?
Starting point is 01:37:57 No, well, I think he came out today and called out this, the budget, being like, you know, I'm a hard no one. He's like, I went into the meeting with an open mind, and they convinced me to vote no. That was a quote from Massey today. But he's the only one with the balls to do that. Everybody just wants to go along to get along. That's the opposite of what Massey is going to do, and he takes so much heat for it. He takes heat because he doesn't go and do what the party wants him to do.
Starting point is 01:38:23 He really does look at it as what does the Constitution say and what's actually good for the budget. He's the guy walking around with the national debt pin that is constantly being updated. So, I mean, he's my favorite member of Congress. Well, I mean, what'll go down in history was that moment where he walked onto the House floor during COVID and said, you know, I will not let the republic die by unanimous consent.
Starting point is 01:38:47 And at the time, I mean, pretty much every Republican, every Democrat, it was like one of the most least popular moves he could have made in the country. But he did it anyway. And he ended up being very, very right. He's got the COVID spending bill. Yeah. Wild. He's covering the same cloth as Ron Paul. You know, Tom Colburn was like that.
Starting point is 01:39:04 Tom Colburn was a senator from oklahoma back um before he passed away um but yeah like there have been a handful of dudes i think i think rand paul is probably like that too or very close rand is because he's a senator he's a little more go along and and work with other senators but he's still you know cut from the same cloth as as dad. And I think that it's good to have those kind of people in the government, if only to set an example for the rest of Congress, you know. Quantum Strange Cork says, Tim, congrats to you and Allison for your new baby girl. You should you two should record a private video for her right now to tell her how you feel about her becoming new parents and show it to her when she gets old enough to appreciate it. I really do appreciate the sentiment, and I will stress it is going to be a very strange generation when they can watch their parents' entire lives recorded on social media. For me, particularly so,
Starting point is 01:39:56 because I have done a video, an episode of TimCast IRL and The Morning Show every day, except for some weekends. So you know how they do those things where it's like, I took a picture of myself every day for 20 years. It's like, well, I recorded a video of myself for four hours every day for eight years. No, it's going to be wild. It's going to be like- That's really funny.
Starting point is 01:40:17 You're going to- Already, the AI- So you know what's really creepy? AI watches podcasts. And so these large language models have already mapped out literally everything i've ever said publicly it's all in their training models so you can tell them to write something like do an episode of timcast irl and it'll it'll it will it will get phil it will get me it'll get libby No joke. The crazy thing is when my kid is old enough, she's going to be able to watch 20 years of my life in news and commentary.
Starting point is 01:40:53 Isn't that weird? She's going to watch this episode. She's going to be able to type in tweets and breaking news, and it will give a whole AI show of just you and your voice. Everything. Well, they're going to be able to, they can already do this. Facebook has this technology. They've had it for a very long time where they can take all the data from your profile and then create a chat bot.
Starting point is 01:41:13 Right, right, right. And so there was a story about a guy whose dad died and then they were testing out this tech and he was talking to his dad and it knew everything his dad had ever posted. No, don't like it. Yeah, dude. You are being, your brain is being copied by the machine and uploaded in real time. And it's too late.
Starting point is 01:41:29 You're on the show. They got you, bro. There's no going back. That's honestly why I haven't been involved so long because you take that and then you take like Neuralink, right? And then you got Cyborgs. Like pretty soon, man,
Starting point is 01:41:41 like there'll just be robots. Like you just upload me. So a robot. If I go to Grok now and ask who Kevin Posobiec is, It's like, pretty soon, man. There'll just be robots. You just upload me. So a little robot. If I go to Grok now and ask who Kevin Posobiec is, is it going to tell me? We can try it. The founder of the Gulf of America? Discover it.
Starting point is 01:42:02 What I think is going to be pretty crazy is that, not just for me, but obviously for me personally, it makes the subject easy. My kid is going to be able to watch the moment I announced my wife was going to have a kid. And it's like, here's the world before you were born and literally the period of time in which you were being created. It's crazy to think because the only thing I have of my parents is like, here's a photo album. Here's a photo from this year. Here's a photo from two years later. And's like how about that they're literally going to be like i pulled up my dad my dad's instagram and i saw his entire life for 15 20 years that's crazy yeah i don't really like the idea so it's it's a weird concern like go to go to x right now or any any social media platform and look up tim pool like how many tim pools are there i mean they're they're about,000 of them impersonating you.
Starting point is 01:42:46 They're people all the time, constantly messaging me. I was in Western North Carolina when I was out there delivering Starlings. People were asking me, why did you block me, bro? It's because they message and act like you to people that follow you. They were trying to solicit
Starting point is 01:43:02 money under my name, trying to act like me, trying to talk like me and now you're talking about the potential for ai emulating uh the way that you speak the way that you type that's that that's going to be a big problem here yeah you know man the fraud has been around for a while we've had that in my church a lot of churches get that actually you get emails from priests saying hey we need you to donate for so-and-so for the church this and that yeah but then they have to come out and say no like listen like priests first off they only they don't even have phones let alone emails you know what's funny is that uh because people are making comments the the one thing liberals always like to do is accuse
Starting point is 01:43:37 conservatives of being short and i'm like it's kind of weird because liberals tend to be shorter i'm actually seven foot three People don't know this. But it's a weird line of attack that they like to use. I thought I'd bring it up for no reason just because people were chatting. I've never heard that. I've never heard that. We're political giants. Ben Shapiro's not short.
Starting point is 01:43:58 Is he not? He's not short. He's 5'8", 5'9". He's average. When I think of short dudes, I'm thinking like Adam Kinzinger and Dan Crenshaw, neither of which are the—like 5'4"? 5'5"? Dan Crenshaw is apparently tiny. Really?
Starting point is 01:44:13 That's what I heard the other day. No. Yesterday. Dan Crenshaw? I don't know. I know Adam Kinzinger is tiny. A line of attack frequently used by liberals on the left is that people are short, and it's like a weird thing because they tend to be shorter compared to conservatives tend to be taller.
Starting point is 01:44:28 Or I should say people who are taller tend to skew more conservative. That's a Noam Chomsky thing. Yeah. He did a whole documentary on that. Calling people short? No, no. Is he who tall happy? That whole Noam Chomsky.
Starting point is 01:44:40 Well, have you ever seen a tall old person? So if you ask Grok. That's right. If you ask Grok, it says he's 5'7". Crenshaw? Yeah. Wow. I mean, that's below average. Definitely below average.
Starting point is 01:44:52 There's a thing. They constantly try and claim that Ben Shapiro is short, and he's not. I was under the impression that he was, just based on that. I've never met him. And then the first time I met him, I was like, oh, he's like normal height. He's like the average guy. He's like average height. What does like the average guy, like average height. What does that equate to, though?
Starting point is 01:45:09 If you're short, then you're dumb. No, they do it because the left uses a couple of attacks. They call prominent personalities short and they attack things that they perceive to be talented in. The goal is they want young men not to want to associate with our political ideas because we're not charismatic or or like strong men. Right. OK. So you'll notice they do this with Andrew Tate. By all means, criticize Andrew Tate. I don't care. But there was this thing Andrew Tate did where he was making fun of leftists and he tilted his head back and started going like making fun of them. They screenshotted it and said, this is what Andrew Tate looks like.
Starting point is 01:45:48 They and he walked into that one. The intention is to be like, OK, obviously, Andrew Tate is insanely ripped. He's a champion kickboxer. You can criticize him for all the things that I don't know work here. My point is the dude has a massive following of young men for a reason. And he makes insane amounts of money off this following. So what they do is they try to attack masculinity. They'll say men are weak, short, or they're not good. One of the things they do to me all the time is it's the weirdest thing ever. I catch you by surprise. They go on forums and claim, I once saw Tim Pool escape park and he couldn't do a pop shove it. And it's like, it's a really weird thing, right? But the goal is we have a skateboard company. In fact, it's probably at this point one of the most successful skateboard companies in the world because we sell thousands of skateboards, boonieshq.com.
Starting point is 01:46:29 It's the best skateboard company. The best skateboards. And you can see the board behind me, the right to arm bears, to bear with a shotgun. And we sell a lot. So I have a pro model board. I'm not the best skateboarder in the world or anything, but I'm fairly decent. And I've sold thousands of personal boards. That's more than many pro skaters ever have.
Starting point is 01:46:46 So if you go to a young kid and you're like, what Tim Pool does, he is successful. He has a show. That is bad for the left. The left needs to be cool. So what they do is they attack the right in ways to try and make it seem like they're short, weak, flabby, incels. That's why they're called bench-prone incels. The dude is average height, married with children, and he's a multimillionaire who sleeps on a pile of cash. But this is the attack vector they use.
Starting point is 01:47:13 Right. They did that to Napoleon, too. Wasn't Napoleon actually like— Normal height. Yeah. The reason they say he was short is because he had Imperial guards who were very large men. I see. They constantly tell me, they're constantly like, oh, your band's terrible. It's terrible it's like man I mean I got platinum and gold records what are you talking
Starting point is 01:47:29 this doesn't work like your band sucks no no it objectively doesn't you know I mean but that's but like you said it's just if they can discredit you somehow you're like oh you know that you're bad at what you do and it's like well but but that's interesting thing that's not really discrediting it's they want when when a when ayear-old guy goes onto a forum, they want to make sure every message is, oh, Phil's band is actually not that good. They've never succeeded. What did Hasan call you? The failed musician guy. Called me a failed musician.
Starting point is 01:47:57 And then when he found out that Phil's got a platinum and gold records, he was like, I met Ian. And it's like, Ian is not a failed musician guy. Ian is like a mid-level successful actor. And I mean that. People may not realize that. Most people think if you're a successful actor, you're in Hollywood movies. Ian was in a Super Bowl commercial. He did commercial acting and he did plays and stuff like this. And that's normal for an average actor. Ian plays music, but he was never like pursuing being a rock star like in the way that phil put out an album hassan piker was trying to insult phil as a failed musician guy which is objectively not but he's doing it without knowing who phil is because he wants his younger viewers
Starting point is 01:48:37 to think that phil is just like some guy who never made it until they realize that phil's played stadiums for 90 000 people and has platinum and gold records, and they're like, oh, I meant Ian? Yeah, no, he's just lying because this is the attack vector they use. I don't really know what's up with these people, too. I experienced this when I confronted Elizabeth Warren there in D.C. after one of the protests, and this leftist chick runs up to me, and she's like, you have a double chin and you're an incel.
Starting point is 01:49:06 And you're like, I'm like, well, I'm going for the triple chin. So, I mean, we're getting there. But, you know, and it's like this lady is 75 years old and smells like cat piss. It's like, why are you? Why do you think it's a good attack vector? Why do they always attack masculinity? Right. Because they're literally very threatened by it.
Starting point is 01:49:23 Well, I think it's because they know that it's valued. It's deeply valued. The only reason they want to say that you are not manly or masculine, whatever that translates to, is so that young men stay away from you. Because young men are looking for people to look up to. And they want the mentality to be for a young kid, if I act like him, I'll be made fun of. And then what ends up happening is these kids grow up and they think, actually strong guys don't care what people think. I want to be like that guy and be rich and successful. Let's grab some more super chats.
Starting point is 01:49:50 Alright, what do we got? TT. He says, I used to work for the federal government. People don't realize, since these people can't be fired, the government promotes problematic stupid people when they create problems. Then they become your boss. Yeah. Yep.
Starting point is 01:50:06 Ripped. Jason Dixon says, shout out to the Discord. Shout out to Surge. He says, wheeze my held Surge. Ons het mere Surge. Indie Discord. No dig. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:50:20 Surge apparently knows what that means. If you want to join a community of over 20,000 people, maybe you're bored at home and you watch the show and you're like, I don't know, I got some free time. I don't know what to do. Go to TimCast.com, click join us, get in the Discord server, because we've had people who started podcasts together. Maybe you're a musician and then you go in there and someone else is like,
Starting point is 01:50:42 hey, let's write a song together. Boom, now you got songs. Maybe you're like, I'm really good at drawing pictures, but I'm not really funny. And someone else is like, I'm a comedian. Bang. You got a comedy comic together. This networking opportunity is the first step. Next, we're doing this coffee shop franchise with Casper. We want to make it so that all of you who watch at home and watch on this show, wherever you do, you don't just watch and then leave you watch and then connect with people and build those networking lines because that stuff builds community and it takes over the
Starting point is 01:51:11 world let's grab some more there was a funny super chat where was it i don't know all right cordowag says phil what are your thoughts on the saying making the rounds for a while people don't get black or red pilled voluntarily it is done against their will as a suppository i mean it's funny uh i do think that generally like people don't a lot of times people don't intend to get like red pilled by things something will they'll see something and they'll be like, that strikes me as off. That strikes me as wrong. And that kind of puts a crack in the veneer. And then it tends to expand. And that's part of the reason why I think COVID did such a job on the way people kind of interpret what the government does. Because there was so many ridiculous things that the government did that so there were too many
Starting point is 01:52:06 people that were just like uh this doesn't seem right this seems off and then they start you know questioning things and start digging around to see what they can you know what else they feel like they've been wrong about another thing that did it was the uh the very fine people hoax you listen to people like and this is really smart people too like people like the guys that that do the all-in podcast right like one of the guys that do the All In podcast, right? Like one of the guys name is Chamath. And he was fairly anti-Trump and he was believing everything the liberal media said. And then when he was exposed to the very fine people hoax and he actually watched the video of Trump saying, you know, not the neo-Nazis, not the, you know, not the racist, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:52:42 They should be condemned totally. He was he was he was like, I have to rethink everything that I thought prior to this about politics that I thought prior to this moment. So. All right. We got this one from David Airman. He says, show idea for about some sleazy men in Congress, femcast, Adrienne, Lisa, Libby, Mary and a guest like Sidney Watson or Shoe on Head hosted by Phil to be the mansplainer. I got a better idea.
Starting point is 01:53:05 Those women sit and Phil just explains the news to them. Hey, that's too manly. If they try to butt in with your wrong... Excuse me. Men are speaking. Those women in particular I don't think would be good candidates. No, I think if we... He's very smart. I wouldn't think Would be good candidates No I think if we did He's very smart I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that
Starting point is 01:53:28 If it was like an actual attempt at a show They'd be like I'm not interested if it was a bit they'd be laughing their ass off We could do that as a bit We could definitely do that as a bit Anytime they try to correct you And I have to say ridiculous wrong things About women Yeah
Starting point is 01:53:44 Women don't poop but i don't want it i don't want to there's a lot of jokes i can make i'm not going to it's family friendly maybe on the uncensored portion five minutes um okay let's grab some more corbin says the liberals in canada just copied the dems they kicked three contenders for party leadership out of the race to make sure make sure W.E.F. globalist Kamey wins. Trump's win has galvanized the liberals, the commies in Canada. Pray for us. I'm not going to pray for you because I don't want you to have any advantages, be it from your own merit or from God above when we come to take your country from you. We're going to take your country from you. We're going to take your country, but we're not going to give you the right to vote.
Starting point is 01:54:31 I'm kidding. But man, do they get really mad when you say that? That's why I love saying the least free land, the least threat. Oh, yeah. The least threatening country ever. I'm sorry. You know, like there are some groups of people where I actually have my my security being like, be careful about doing certain things that could rile up extremists. i'm like no we get it canada ain't nobody scared you guys well that's why trump is continuously trolling governor trudeau i mean every day he's doing these these uh really official speeches and stuff you know like with with macron the other day and just casually calling him governor macron or governor uh trudeau in these speeches and all of these posts. Yesterday when he was with Macron? That's great.
Starting point is 01:55:07 Just on live TV. You had Chrystia Freeland, who's running to be the Liberal prime minister. You know, that's what she wants to be. She said that she's running because a four-year-old girl asked her if she could stop Trump from invading Canada. Oh, it reminds me of a Kamala thing. It's funny because the answer is no. Well, first of all, no, you can't stop it. Second of all, like, we don't really want you.
Starting point is 01:55:31 I don't want Canada. I don't want them to become a state. But Canada is being more... We don't got the... They got poutine up there. Yeah, it's good. And we will take it from them. And they have Deponair.
Starting point is 01:55:42 Come on. Well, the Deponair is superior to the bodega. It is. A hundred times. And it will be ours. Yeah, I would love to have have Deponair? Come on. The Deponair is superior to the Bodega. It is. And it will be ours. I would love to have a Deponair. There's someone in Chicago being like, I don't know what those words are. Deponair and Bodega? You know what it is? Corner store.
Starting point is 01:55:56 It's a serious corner store. It's got good cheese. It's got nice wine. Good flowers. Fresh fruit. Those are the best. Okay, I'll be honest. Montreal is fun. Montreal is a great city.
Starting point is 01:56:09 Montreal is fantastic. When we used to have, when the Postmillennial used to be based in Montreal, I would go up there sometimes. It's like an excuse to go hang out in Montreal. I'd be like, oh, I'm coming into the office. That's the one thing that I get bummed about with Canada's government is that Montreal is pretty great. It's great. And I'd be like, oh, look at this. I could just get everything I need
Starting point is 01:56:25 at the desk. And it's pronounced Mon-ray-all. But see, that's the thing. Mon-ray-all or whatever. I can't do French. Mon-ray-all, that's what I say. I cannot do French, but I like the wine and the cheese. You're saying that this four-year-old or whatever saying, I mean, at what point is that child
Starting point is 01:56:41 abuse? You got your four-year-old thinking that President Trump is going to invade your country? People teach their four-year-olds that they're not really the sex they are. You know the meme of the guy shaking the kid? Like, Billy, what have you done? The kid says something reasonable. The parents say something unreasonable. It's like, they're going to invade and take our country.
Starting point is 01:56:59 Dad, stop. It's okay. It's not happening. Also, I got to be honest. You get poutine in New York, and it's not food. It's just not food. They take a slice of mozzarella and melt it on top of french fries, and you're like, what is this? A little gravy.
Starting point is 01:57:16 No, it's disgusting. And then you go to the fancy. I don't get it. Why can't people make pizza not in New York and why can't people make poutine not in Montreal? There's no good answers to anything. Everybody says it's the water, but I don't know. I don't believe that anyway.
Starting point is 01:57:33 Oh, it's dirty water. It's like, okay, well, you're not making me want your pizza more by saying that. It's not dirty. That's what I was always told. I've made decent bagels. I had to figure out how to make bagels and I've made decent ones. I went to a pizza place in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I am going to disparage Grand Rapids, Michigan right now. It was, like, bakery bread, which is fine, flat, and maybe, like, two inches thick with tomato sauce and cheese on top. They called it pizza.
Starting point is 01:58:02 And my buddy said it was, like, a well-known pizza place. We went there, and I was like a well-known pizza place. We went there and I was like, what are you feeding me? Now, first of all, I'm from Chicago, okay? You know what I'm saying? Deep dish.
Starting point is 01:58:12 The thing about our pizzas in Chicago is that they, they're lots of cheese and they're deep. And then in New York, you have real pizza. Yeah, it's a quiche.
Starting point is 01:58:19 It's not pizza. New York is the real pizza and you can get good pizza in Chicago too, but I was deeply offended. I would like to send Dave Portnoy to that place just to have him review that pizza and get angry. You should look up Altoona-style pizza. You'll be really outraged.
Starting point is 01:58:34 Altoona-style pizza? Is that where it's cut into strips? No, no, no. The cheese is American cheese overlaid on top of the— Yeah, it's real. Look. What? Look up Altoona-style pizza.
Starting point is 01:58:46 That's what it looks like. He pulls it up. Is that like American cheese on ketchup on bread? Yes. That's Altoona-style pizza. I actually like that. That's pretty... You make a grilled cheese, put ketchup on it.
Starting point is 01:58:57 What's wrong with you? You've never put ketchup on a grilled cheese? No. What's wrong with that? It's like we're sitting here arguing about New York versus Chicago-style pizza. Have you ever put butter on a Pop-Tart? No. What's wrong with that? It's like we're sitting here arguing about New York versus Chicago style pizza. Have you ever put butter on a Pop-Tart? No. It's so freaking good. Yeah, I've put butter on it. Alright, everybody, we're gonna go to
