So a new report has come out from the IG exposing that there were 26 FBI informants at the Capitol on January 6th, and most of them were involved. Several of them went inside. And so I can only say that proves it. AOC was right. That's right. AOC said a couple of years ago that J6 was an inside job and she demanded answers. I'm actually not kidding.

She said police were involved, but it's not politically expedient to investigate why cops were letting people in and opening doors. Good question, AOC. I agree with you. If AOC says it, I must be allowed to say it too. If the media gets mad about it,

don't take it up with her. The crazy thing about the story, though, is that most media outlets are burying the lead, covering it up, or outright lying through manipulative context. While we know that 26 informants were there and a part of the right and in the building.

What's the headline say for some of these stories? FBI had no employees in the building or in the crowd. Well, that's weird. That's not what we're saying. They're definitely trying to cover up. We'll talk about that. Then I just absolutely there's a story from CNN they put out claiming that they uncovered a prison and a man was inside. And literally everybody on X is saying it's clearly staged and fake. Now, far be it for me to know for sure, because, you know, you got to have you got to have the evidence. But I can just say this. The man they found in this prison, they claimed, had been locked up with no windows for three months and hadn't had any water or food for five days. He easily stands up of his own volition, stares at the sky and says, the light, the light. Everybody knows that you can't even go 10 hours in the dark and then try and stare at this step at the sky because you only like it when you're when your wife or husband turns the light on. But we'll talk about that story, too.

Well, I run the Article 3 Project, which is a conservative group that helped President Trump confirm his judges in his first term. And we have been the tip of the spear defending President Trump against this Biden lawfare and election interference for the last two and a half years. We help President Trump win that lawfare. He's back in the White House. We're going to continue to help him by helping him confirm his nominees to the executive branch, confirm his judicial nominees,

and make sure that they have the political cover they need to do their jobs. We see on the right that we have really smart lawyers, and they can follow the law, but we need two things in order for that to work. We need the law to be right, but we need two things in order for that to work. We need the law to be right, and we need the politics to be right. So we're helping President Trump get the smart lawyers to get the law right, and at the Article III Project, we're helping them get the politics right. Right on. Should be fun. Thanks for hanging out. Libby's here. I'm Libby Emmons. I'm here. Glad to be here. I'm with the Postmillennial and humanevents.com. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Tim. Well, that was easy. Let's go to the first story from the New York Post. FBI had 26 informants at January 6th Capitol riots. Most were involved. Bombshell DOJ report confirms. They say the FBI had at least 26 CIs on the ground. They call them CHSs, confidential human sources, in Washington, D.C. during J6, storming the Capitol, most of whom engaged in illegal activity during the chaos. The Justice Department's watchdog confirmed in the bombshell report, leadership at the bureau had long been adamant that it did not have the sources who orchestrated the riot. They did not have sources who orchestrated the riot.

Questions about whether the FBI had informants involved in the riots were met with conspiracy theory labels by many mainstream media outlets. If you're asking if the violence at the Capitol was part of some operation orchestrated by FBI sources or agents, the answer is no. Outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers back in July, Wray had long refused to divulge exactly how many informants were present that day. I'm going to go assume it's probably more than just 26. But DOJ's Office of the Inspector General found that of the FBI's confidential sources on the ground, four entered the Capitol in the midst of the riot and 13 went into a restricted area.

Only nine were not found to have engaged in illegal activity, according to the report. Critically, that report also shot down unsubstantiated speculation that the bureau had agents stoking some of the mayhem that day. Quote, We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds or at the Capitol. The report said only three of its 26 informants present had been instructed to observe potential domestic terror suspects on the day of the riot. The DOJ watchdog found the rest of the 23 appear to have gone to the Capitol of their own accord. I think this very much adds to the story that we had heard. This goes back to 2022 when AOC says Capitol Police were opening the doors for J6 riders.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. I was shocked because I, you know, I am no conspiracy theorist. But when AOC proudly informed all of us that J6 was an inside job, I was shocked. Of course, I reviewed the evidence. And as it turns out, at least on some circumstances, the police were posing with some of these insurrectionists, they call them, taking photos and opening at least what I can see interior doors. Not only the interior doors, but there was an instance where after doors have been opened, the police just stood next to the door and told the protesters. One guy says, I don't agree with it, but I respect it. These cops were absolutely assisting, not to mention one man was acquitted entirely because he argued that a cop waved him in. Sure enough, there is video footage of a cop waving people in that they try to claim. No,

no, the cop meant something else. He was waving to other cops to come in. Sure. I think AOC is correct. Let me play this video for you can hear it right from her adamantly expressing two years ago exactly what happened. Like Antifa? And that there were actual officers working with this and we never got to the bottom of that and we never got any answers about that. And then to this day, we're just supposed to pretend that that never happened. I have no idea what happened to the people on the inside who were very clearly sympathetic with what was going on and opening the doors wide open for that. And I'm supposed to sit here and pretend like none of that ever happened. And then right afterwards, you have a massive, you know, you just have this idea that throwing money at that problem is going to make it go away without any accountability.

And so this is where these things are breaking down. We're not safe. And it's not just about members of Congress not being safe. The food staff workers aren't safe. The janitors aren't safe. Like, we need to get to the bottom of this. You see what she was saying? She was calling for an investigation.

She wants answers as to the federal law enforcement elements that were actively assisting J6. Well, I agree, AOC. It sounds like an inside job. And I'm going to stress this to in all seriousness, outside of any tongue in cheek joke or something like that. If one police officer, just one, helped the rioters in any way, and we know they did, that's an inside job. OK, what they're trying to do is when we say it was an inside job, they immediately jumped to the claim that it means the government orchestrated the plot and made it all happen. No, no, no, no, no, no. Listen, if there is a bank, OK, this is what we said two years ago when we talked about this. If there's a bank and like three guys go to rob it and one security guard opens the door and puts a wedge in it and then walks away. We called it an inside job. Now, imagine if that happened and the police came in and said, looks like it was an inside

job because this guy who works here opened the door for the robbers. And then immediately the media said, are you implying the bank manager, along with all of its staff, coordinated with the police to steal the money? No, I didn't say that at all. I'm saying there was at least a certain or small element of internal security and law enforcement that assisted in this. It could be one person, but it's a fact. And now this just adds to it because FBI informants were actually writing in the building. So what does this mean? What does this ultimately turn into? I mean, Trump's going's gonna pardon these guys he said what in the first nine minutes i hope he does that's what he said first 20 minutes

well i mean i hope he does i i don't see any reason to keep these people behind bars anymore um no i don't either what is it like some 1500 people almost something like that i don't i don't have any i honestly don't know i know it's a lot but i don't large number is it i didn't know that it was over a thousand oh it's it's like substantially over a thousand. Yeah, it's somewhere between it's somewhere between like thirteen hundred and fifteen. Yeah, it's like thirteen hundred. Yeah. Trump said in the first 20 minutes, he's like the first thing he's going to do is going to just pardon. Well, good. I mean, that should be the case. And the thing that really struck me is the is the way that the mainstream media or the legacy media or the Democrat-run media is framing this.

They're saying that there were no FBI agents, that there were no employees, and they're obfuscating the fact that confidential informants don't actually work for the FBI. But there were confidential informants don't actually work for the FBI. But there were confidential informants. So there were people that were working with the FBI, but they weren't FBI agents and they weren't employees. And the fact that the media is running with that and they're, you know, again, obfuscating the fact that there were government assets in the crowd and those people were egging other people on to do things. It's, I mean, it's, it's clearly dishonest and it's frustrating because the, you know, you've got, this is going to be the narrative that the left is going to

spin. Let's, uh, let's, let's take it up a notch though. I got a question for you, Mike. We had, uh, uh, the journalist, uh, Steve, Steven Baker, I believe. I'm not getting his name wrong. Am I? He was, uh, the one who was criminally charged. Yeah, he sure was at the blaze. Yeah, he said he thinks this is actually a plot from the Pentagon, that they wanted the J6ers to riot, that they were hoping for some violence that they could ultimately use, and that if you look at the actions taken by the federal government since then, it only really makes sense if there actually was

extreme violence. All we really got was basically trespass and some vandalism. And if you can even call it trespass on a lot of these cases, the people broke the windows that I get. You fight cops, you hit cops, you go to jail that I get. But he there was a he and another guy I talked to said that one of the cops working at the Capitol Police evacuated the members of Congress. Had he not done that, they could have gotten hurt, might have been likely, and that he was actually, he got in trouble for having done that because he was not given orders to evacuate. So it's his opinion that they wanted this to happen. They intentionally didn't bring police or National Guard because they needed an excuse to go after Trump. But I'm curious what you think. I mean, I would say this. January 6th was a lawful protest permitted by the National Park Service that devolved into a riot.

And I think what the Biden Justice Department tried to do with January 6th, along with the January 6th committee, is they tried to use this as an excuse to cancel Trump and cancel Trump's movement, right? They wanted Trump and his ideas as America First movement to go away. And so what should have happened is they should have looked at January 6th and said, wait, people who were there legally, people who were outside have, even if you think they're wrong, even if you think they're crazy, they have an absolute First Amendment right to protest their government and protest the election. And then there's a second category of people who trespassed. And there's a dispute whether some people even trespassed if the cops are letting them into the damn building. But let's just presume that they trespass. Okay, then you charge them with trespass. And then there's a third category of people who are violent and you charge them with violence.

But I look, I was I was a staffer on the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Kavanaugh proceedings when you had protesters threatening violence throughout the Capitol, trespassing into offices, trespassing into restricted zones. Not a damn thing happened to them, right? You look at the BLM and Antifa rioters, the much more deadly and destructive BLM and Antifa rioters, they caused billions in damage, they killed dozens, they essentially get amnesty. So what they did on January 6th is they wanted to lump everyone together, call them insurrectionists, even though no one was charged with insurrection. How many insurrectionists go into a nation's capital unarmed, get to the Senate floor of the nation's capital,

walk through velvet ropes, follow police direction, and don't burn down the damn place? Got an escort to the Senate chambers. Yes, they did. When the Q shaman, of course, was seen on surveillance footage walking around politely asking police and police directed him. That's an inside job. And why?

So I wasn't working alone. The police let him in. And if everyone else is getting charged for January 6th and they're hunting people down for years and 1500 people are charged. Why weren't these 23 paid FBI contractors. Well, weren't there 23 who were paid, but they just showed up that day, and three who were working that day, right? There were three who the FBI said,

you know, why don't you come out? And then there were 23 who showed up at their own volition who had not allegedly been requested by the FBI. That means they were just participants. Yeah. So why weren't those 23 who were supposedly off duty that day, why weren't they charged like the rest of the January 6th? 11 of those 23 went on to the restricted area outside the Capitol. And of the three who were asked to be there, one of them went inside the Capitol.

And they weren't charged. Yeah. Right? So why weren't they charged? If they're off duty, why weren't they charged? And another two of the 23 went into the Capitol because it was three went in altogether. So maybe they were on duty and that's why they weren't charged. Yeah, it is confusing as to why they weren't charged.

How did their names never come up? And then they talk about how the report was saying people just on the grounds weren't going to be charged. Well, they're doing that now. We know that they've been charging them. There's like tons and tons. If you look at the Capitol breach cases and do a search on the DOJ website for trespass, it's like hundreds of entries of people who are charged with trespass. Yeah, I mean, think about this.

They're trying to say that these January 6th protesters tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power on another branch of government. Well, what the hell do they think they did during the Kavanaugh proceedings? They disrupted the proceedings going eight seconds into the proceedings. You have Kamala Harris and the paid protesters in the gallery disrupting the proceedings the entire time they chased senators and threatened them. They threatened them outside of their homes. They tried to obstruct the vote on the Senate floor. I was there for all this. Nothing happens. You even had what, Amy Schumer trying to occupy the Supreme Court at one point?

I mean, this is all true. And all this stuff that all of the people outside of the Supreme Court justices' homes and the person that was threatening Kavanaugh and all of these things are just swept under- You mean Chuck Schumer when he went to the Supreme Court and physically threatened Kavanaugh? Yes, he did. And Gorsuch, my former boss? He did. By name, yes, absolutely. It's ridiculous that the left is allowed to make these assertions that are so so blatantly false while at the same time the left is

incredibly totally guilty of the exact same kind of things that they would lose their mind over let me uh let's jump to the story from the ap they've got a better framing of this so of course in the previous thing we're talking about how uh yeah there were 26 uh criminal human sources i'm sorry confidential human sources on the ground, three of whom were paid. And we know that from from AOC and many others, they were police officers who are assisting this video footage of the shaman being led to the chambers by Capitol Police. Well, after this IG report comes out exposing that there were 26 informants part involved with the majority of them participating in January 6th. Here's how the corporate press frames it. Let's start with the majority of them participating in January 6th. Here's how the corporate press frames it. Let's start with the AP.

Watchdog finds FBI intelligence missteps before J6 riot, but no undercover agents were present. Well, that's a really weird way to frame a story that shocked us all by learning that 26 informants were there. How about this from Axios? There were no undercover FBI employees at the U.S. Capitol or rally at the Ellipse on January 6, 2021, according to a new Watchdog report that further debunked conspiracy theories that law enforcement instigated the deadly riot. Let's try USA Today. No FBI informants were authorized to enter Capitol on January 6,

2021 DOJ report. How come none of the headlines were FBI informants illegally entered restricted grounds and the building participating in the J6 riots? Because the media is lying to you and colludes with these intelligence elements. This is why MSNBC and CNN love to hire retired intel guys. Yeah. It's because one big incestuous family tree. Well, you missed our headline. Our headline did say that at the Postmillennial, did say that FBI sources went into the Capitol.

Well, of course. That's why I'm not bringing you up. And the New York Post did too. Because we were honest about it. Yeah. People being honest. The lead here is that we've long wanted to know how many informants were involved. And now we have a general.

I think it was more than 26, to be honest. Well, that's just. That's just FBI. Yeah. Right. Exactly. FBI. And they said also that they didn't have a larger presence because it was a low security

thing for them. It was like not high priority. So otherwise they would have had more. I suppose. Yeah. So let's get this straight. 26 paid contractors from the FBI. Three of them were on duty that day.

And zero of them get arrested for January 6th. Is that true? Zero got arrested? Zero. Even though it's like, I'm just looking at the, I love the DOJ website where you can look at all of the capital breach cases. There's 128 pages of names of people who were sentenced. That's just sentenced. Not even arrested.

Wow. It's such a travesty of justice and the idea that this was not at least instigated by the government itself is just ridiculous. Yeah, but

now we are watching and we know this about the media, but these headlines are brazen. I mean, the story was shocking when we learned how many informants were being were paid informants. How many showed up? AP, no undercover agents present. This is the dirty game they play with fact checking. They tell you guys about all the time. So I don't know if you've heard me tell the story, but basically or the circumstance, basically Snopes, for instance, what do they do? Donald Trump will do a backflip, land perfectly on the ground in a perfect pose and everyone claps. And then the story goes viral. Donald

Trump does backflip. And then Snopes read a headline. Did Donald Trump land a perfect, flawless backflip in front of a crowd of supporters who all clapped and cheered on Sunday? False. And then it'll go through this big, long tirade about how Donald Trump did not actually do this. The claims were made on the internet, blah, blah, blah.

Then at the very last sentence, it will say, while Donald Trump did perform a flawless backflip in front of his supporters who clapped and cheered on Saturday, he did not do it on Sunday. They'll add that that no one asked and then debunk themselves. AP, no agents were present. OK, tell us about the 26 paid informants who were who were in the building and never got arrested. Yeah.

I mean, it's it's frustrating because this is something that we've seen for the better part of a decade now. The way that I mean, honestly, Donald Trump is kind of the guy that really made this something that people were aware of. The people like people that were conservatives had kind of felt like the mainstream media was unfair to them it became more clear in the when with the uh um the fbi or the irs targeting lois lerner and and targeting conservatives in like 2013 or whatever it was um but with the election of barack obama you started to see that it wasn't just that the media seemed a little biased and it was likely because they were from cities which is generally what the your average person was like well maybe they're a little biased but they are from cities and so they probably have a different perspective than people on the uh on on the right and that was

trying to steal man the you know steal me on the arguments you know trying trying to think charitably um but then once you saw the way that the media behaved once Barack Obama became the president and with the you know the IRS scandal and then 2016 when it became clear that the Democrats didn't have the forever didn't have forever control over the government which they genuinely thought they thought that not once Barack Obama was elected they thought that it was obviously going to be Hillary Clinton and there was going to be essentially the the Republicans would be a regional party. The Republicans would stand up someone against the Democrats every time. But the real the real debate was going to be which Democrat was going to run to beat the Republicans.

That was the sense on the, you know, from the people on the left. And once they saw that Donald Trump, once Donald Trump won and they saw that that was not the case, they completely flipped out and they, you know, they went mask off with the lying, the authoritarianism, the attempts to narrative build and control what people saw and heard.

And it's tiring, but we've been seeing it again, like, you know, 10, 15 years now. You know? I'll start caring about the January 6th riot when Democrats start caring about the much more deadly and destructive BLM riots. May 29. We call it M29. Yeah, that's a big day.

M29 insurrection. When they set fire to the church in Washington. And firebombed the White House and forced the president into an emergency bunker. And the Secret Service guard station. And they attacked the federal courthouse in Portland for months. For over 100 straight nights. It was a national tragedy. Billions of dollars in insurance damage by estimates.

Maybe we should ask the incoming administration to launch the M29 committee. You know, I honestly, I know that everyone's really jazzed about like doing stuff like that. And I think that that makes a lot of sense. But on the other hand, I would love to just be like, you know what, screw all that. We're just going to go make everything awesome. We're not going to dwell on our- Yeah, but that means arresting the criminal elements who have been corrupting government. Yeah, I think that's part of it. But I don't, like, what waste of time was the January 6th committee? I don't want to see a January 6th, January 6th committee.

I disagree. Yeah, we have to. I disagree completely on this. But think about what you're saying. We are a nation, a body politic. And on our left arm, it has become gangrene. Sure. And the way I see it is you're saying, well, look, I get that we have an infection on our arm that's rotting away the body.

But let's just focus on learning how to juggle with the right hand. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Triage. We've got to stop the rot. But isn't it every four years? Aren't we going to just see every four years the new administration prosecuting the previous administration? No, no, no. I'll tell you why. Ad nauseum.

Let me tell you why. The reason they did the last four years of Biden's persecution of Trump, his top aides like Steve Bannon and Peter DeVarro, his January 6 supporters who were persecuted, parents, Christian. The reason they— Ace Act. I mean, that stuff the reason the biden regime did this along with their democrat allies in new york atlanta other hell holes around the country is because we let them get away with this the first time i think we need to give them a healthy dose of their own medicine i call it the dead chicken strategy Give them a healthy dose of their own medicine. Show them power for their real crimes instead of our side's non-crimes.

And so they never do this again. You don't think there's a way to do that without like just wasting a bunch of government time and money? I mean, the government wastes a bunch of time and money every day. I hate it so much. I hate that. I think that we need, I really do hope that Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Chris, excuse me, Cash Patel, I hope they open a

criminal probe under 18 U.S.C. Section 241, Conspiracy Against Rights, down in the Southern District of Florida, Fort Pierce, Florida. Who do you want to see them prosecute? I would like them to investigate and if appropriate, I'm an attorney. I still have bar duties.

Well said. And if appropriate, they should prosecute anyone who politicized and weaponized our intel agencies and law enforcement to go after political enemies for non-crimes. So you think they should investigate Merrick Garland for going after parents at school board meetings? You're damn right. Let's go through the list. I may have a list of my...

What about the people who determined that Catholics who go to Latin Mass are actually akin to domestic extremists? Yeah, down in Richmond. Yeah, investigate whoever came up with that memo. I would say I would look at, for example, I would look at President Joe Biden's role, even if he has presidential immunity, he could be an important fact witness. I would look at his White House counsel's office, like Jonathan Hsu, who waived President Trump's claim of constitutional executive privilege going back 250 years to George Washington, which led to the Mar-a-Lago raid and the two indictments by Jack Smith and his counselor, Jay Pratt.

I'd go after. And real quick. Definitely. When Trump said in that Meet the Press interview, this man came to my home. Yep. Oh, I hope he does not forget. And he brings about accountability and justice. Well, the good thing is, is that President Trump is not going to have to worry about any of this because if his Justice Department does its job, they're going to obviously open

a criminal probe on under 18 U.S.C. section 241, just like Jack Smith did. That was one of his charges. What about an investigation of her, Robert Herr, for not releasing that transcript, the unredacted transcript? Nobody's above the law. There is a long list of people, and I would say Fannie Willis, Nathan Wade, Tish James.

Benny Thompson? Benny Johnson. Benny Johnson, too. Do you know I screw that up every time? Benny, no! Sorry, Benny. No, Benny Thompson. Hey, look, nobody's above the law, and when a grand jury...

Yeah, Benny, you're not above the law. Sorry. That's right. And when a federal grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, brings charges, brings an indictment, obviously they're legitimate. A grand jury brought them. And if they're innocent, then, you know, the jury... What about Mayorkas?

Do you want to see a prosecution of Mayorkas? For his illegal mass parole of 15 million illegal immigrants into our country and the resulting migrant crime, the rapes, murders, robberies. I've got, you know, just a handful of people I'd like to see investigated, too, like Gretchen Whitmer. What would you investigate Whitmer for? The deaths of the elderly during COVID. Would you throw Cuomo in there, Andrew Cuomo? Absolutely. And Wolf and Newsom.

And who am I forgetting? There was a memo that came out from the CDC. New Jersey. Yeah. That governor. I forgot his name. Well, yeah, he's just. We can still go after him.

They all did the same thing. They put sick. They put COVID patients in nursing homes. Murphy. Murphy. And we saw the reports. I believe right there, I would say probable cause to, you know, open investigation, present a preponderance of evidence to a grand jury and say, should we indict on the evidence we have?

And if they say yes, then we'll build our case. According to the reports that came out, and some of it may be political, I don't know. Cuomo killed 15,000 elderly people by choosing to put sick people in nursing homes instead of using what was it the comfort that was brought to new york that trump trump uh the uss comfort yeah he could have there was a there was a memo that came out from the cdc in the spring of 2020 that instructed nursing homes to if once people went to the hospital to be treated when they were um when they were done being treated the nursing homes were instructed by the CDC to take them back. So that was the order that all of those governors were following.

It was directly from the CDC. Those governors wanted to save their Medicaid money. I agree with you that it was wrong, but there was a memo. Do you think that they lost much sleep? And they can be investigated and we can look at their communications because for all we know, there's an email from Cuomo to a health official in New York who says,

I understand there's a memo, but this could result in mass death of the elderly if we do this. And Cuomo might have said, that's fine, do it. They said to do it. Well, yeah, Latipo in Florida didn't do it. He didn't authorize stuff like that.

Yep. He did a good job. So, yeah, I think there should be a lot of investigations and charges i do not i do not see how the if if we do not get a handle on the corruption then when trump gets out the apocalypse starts all over again and it's going to be worse than anything we have seen because you're going to and look, we may have won this battle in the culture war. I've been saying this for some time now. The podcast presidency, they called it,

you know, shows like this have played a role in communicating a vision and a message and ideas and factual information to regular people that allowed them to make an informed decision. But if we're going to sit here and just laugh at Rachel Maddow having a ratings spiral, six months to a year, Comcast, Disney, Fox, Fox isn't as bad. I'll give them a little bit more credit. I would say they're net positive, but they're not perfect. But these big corporations, they're going to dump billions into the space and make sure we are drowned out. They're going to make sure they dominate the front pages. They're going to cut deals with the corporate class at YouTube and other big tech platforms. They're going to lobby for certain censorship policies.

They're going to lobby for things like speech liability insurance. And then to come out and be like, well, you know, we have our errors and omissions insurance, too. YouTube should require, you know, we have our errors and omissions insurance to YouTube should require, you know. Oh, yeah. And then they're going to basically lobby for things that make it for small independent creators to make it impossible. Then when 2028 comes around, there will not be the authentic independent podcaster anymore. Then they come back in. And if these criminal elements are allowed to persist with with Pam Bondi, Cash and Trump just sitting by and let it happen. They're going to come back and say, now we have to excise the populist movement. It's our last chance. One hundred percent. And that's look, I always say that today's Democrats,

they're not our parents or grandparents, Democrat Party. They're not liberals who love America. They are leftists. They are Marxists. They do not believe in free speech. They believe in censorship, and they do it under the guise of combating misinformation or disinformation, inconvenient— Or to reduce harm or something like that. Yes, inconvenient facts that end up being true. They don't believe in equality. They believe in equity, and they don't believe in equal justice and due process. They believe in a politicized and weaponized justice system.

Absolutely. If we don't if we do not stop them this time for their real crimes, I 100 percent agree with you, Tim. They're going to come back and crush us after January 20th, 2029. Absolutely. That's something that that's an argument that we make here regularly. The left that is in in a lot of Marxist theory, even. And it's gotten so bad that there are even people that you would that ostensibly would say they're on the right. But they're still making the argument that, oh, you know, the CEO that got killed, it was OK because he was rich and the guy that killed him, you know, was was doing something for the poor. And it's like that is absolutely unconscionable in a liberal society. In a liberal

society, that is not how it works at all. And the fact that there are more and more people on the, that there are more and more people on the left, and there are people that would say that they're on the right. I would make an argument that they're not actually on the right if they believe that, but they would say that they're not leftists and they would say, but it's okay because of this particular power dynamic. That is a terrible, terrible development. Do you think that after four years of prosecuting all of these people, do you think that they left if they get back into power would not engage in prosecutions? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you prosecute.

Because they will or not. Because they will. Exactly. They will or not. So is this just what So is this just what our country is now? Every four years you prosecute the previous administration? I don't think so. I think what we can do is we can prosecute the people that have committed crimes with this administration. Hopefully the Democrats will have come to their senses because something that we talk about here regularly. Well, the Democrats are in their own civil war. I mean, they have a decision to make. Exactly. And I'm hopeful that the Democrats, the actual Democrats, the liberals of the Democrats will win because your average American is not a progressive.

They're not the crazy left. No, I think we learned that. the thing is they just have been doing what is easy and they have been hiding from the crazy progressives that will cancel them and say they'll call your job and and and essentially make your life hell if you don't shut up and just listen those people the people that are progressives need to be isolated and they need to be removed from positions of power and positions of authority and your normal democrats, your normal Joe Mansions, right? Those people that are, they care about working people that have, have a, a desire to see,

you know, maybe they're pro union, but they want to see things that are good for the working people. The, the, again, the workers, they want to see that kind of stuff. Those people need to be ascendant in the Democrat Party and they need to be the ones in power and they need to be the people that control the the the essentially the the money backers of the of the DNC. If they can get control of the party, that will save the Democrat Party and that honestly will save America, because then we can go back to arguing over, you know, over which corporate tax rate is right, not whether or not you should kill CEOs. Because that's the argument we're having now all too frequently with the far left. Is it acceptable to kill people because they're rich?

We're talking about the terror in France. Turfs are Nazis. Conservatives are Nazis. Yeah, but the thing is, we're talking about the far left. We're talking about the exact same kind of thing that caused the terror in the French Revolution. And now they're starting to, now they've brought their red smoke bombs to the U.S. I mean, we've seen them now, red smoke bombs in Montreal and in Greenwich Village, you know. So I do think

that that's leaning. And I'm just curious, what are we looking at? You know, we're coming up on 250 years as a nation. What are we looking at for the next, we're coming up on 250 years as a nation. What are we looking at for the next hundred years of our country? What are our children growing into? What are they inheriting? There's a couple things that need to be done. First of all, we need to make sure we need to do our best to get as

much of the, as many of the leftists out of schools. So there needs to be massive change at the Department of Education and abolish the schools. Yeah. I mean, I don't know that you can, I don't know that you can fix a lot of these schools. You know, I mean, I think that one thing that would help fix a lot of these schools, one thing that would really do a lot is if the government is no longer providing the student

loans for your, you know, gender studies, what we used to call basket weaving, things like this. Folklore and mythology. Right. Well, that's actually worthwhile is the thing. Folklore and mythology are worthwhile classes. Don't major in it, but it's worth it. It's good to know what our ancestors thought of the world and how they accumulated knowledge. I think that's important. Make them pay for all that stuff with their endowments. I can solve a lot of the problems this country is facing very, very easily. What we need is whoever is going to be put in charge of the Department of Education to mandate that all public schools in the United States be converted into mini golf courses where people can pay a nominal fee to enjoy a game of mini golf and the kids will not go to them anymore.

And as much as people are going to respond with, but then where do the kids go to learn? I don't know or care. They will still be better off. That's how bad it is. I mean, there's a lot of truth to that, that children are no longer taught. They're not taught things nowadays. And George Bush is responsible for a significant amount of this because of No Child Left Behind. The idea of No Child Left Behind just made—

Well, that was terrible. And then that was compounded with Common Core. Yeah, that just made teachers give kids that were failing passing grades. That's all it did. It was a terrible idea. It was a terrible precedent set. But you need to get the schools of education, so the schools where teachers go to learn, you need to get the leftist indoctrination out of there so you need to get rid of paulo freddy and all of his his basically just all

the grad schools i mean yeah get rid of all essentially but yes and these things teacher teachers college it's hunter it's all of the schools where all of the teachers go yes a hundred percent that and that's because basically we end up because all of the schools where all of the teachers go. Yes, 100%. So basically we end up with the southern schools. Because all of the teachers are ideologically possessed. We get rid of the northern schools and the California schools, and we keep the southern schools, and then we're okay? I don't know if that's exactly how it breaks down, but the thing is if you've got people in the schools of education

being indoctrinated with Paulo Freire's garbage, you know, the pedagogy of the oppressed i think is the book that that he used that there's theater of the oppressed yeah there's all of this the whole thing is about oppression and you're not teaching kids things like how to read how to write how to properly construct sentences how to do math how to do basic things like that you need to actually live you're taught they're taught all kinds of just leftist mumbo jumbo and they're the teachers are taught that so when they get into the schools and they're teaching kids they're teaching them absolutely insane shit i i gotta be honest you

know like my my view on a lot of this is it's either like it's it's gonna get really bad in 20 years because these kids are gonna grow up up and their brains are going to be fried. They're not going to they're not going to know basic survival skills. They will make demands of the government. The government will collapse. People who are voting for other people like you're going to have a large population. These younger people are going to be their 20s and 30s. And they're going to say, I hereby vote that all capable people of merit must do work for me. That's basically what they're saying, because they're gonna be like, I don't know how to survive this.

So we should tax everybody. Then the people who actually do work and make things get taxed. Everybody knows what happens then. The people who there's this funny story that went viral where it was like a teacher did a communism lesson in the classroom and said, when the next test we take, we're going to average out all the grades and everyone will get the same grade. And then what happened was everybody ended up getting like a B minus. And so the kids who didn't study were like, hey, I didn't even study and I got a B. The kids who just bombed the test, like I got a B. But the kids who worked really hard and got perfect scores got Bs and got meds. Yeah, they would be. So the next time they did a test, it dropped down to a C because the kids who worked really, really hard were like, well, what's the point? I'm going to break my back and

I'm not going to get that much. I better do what they're doing. They're chilling. So why study? And then within like three or four cycles, they were all failing. And because nobody felt like they had to take responsibility for it because the harder you worked, you were being pulled back by everybody else. That's what's going to happen with the next generation. And so what I see is, OK, maybe in 20, 30 years, it all falls apart and collapses. But I'm not really worried because I got no problem living in a van down by the river. Now, these urban hippie liberal city urban liberal types, we call them.

They're going to be freaking out, bashing their faces on the table. Their water will shut off. They're not going to know what they can or cannot eat. So, you know, I always talk about how over at the Cast Castle, our other studio, there's fruit everywhere. We've got wine berries, blackberries, mulberries galore. Mulberries like crazy. And pawpaw fruit. And there's wild frost grapes. Heavens, there's so much fruit. And there's wild frost grapes. Heavens, there's so much food. But there's also these little red berries and these little black berries. And they will kill you if you eat them. You got to be careful with that.

And see, we like in the Hunger Games. We know that because living out there, we checked and we did. We checked to make sure and we used apps and we searched on the Internet. And then we confirmed. And these urban liberal types don't even know that you can eat a berry off of a plant. They've never gathered before. I mean, some have, of course, they'll go up north and they'll go mapling or whatever they might do, but they're not going to have any idea. It's remarkable to me when

and I'm not going to pretend to be like some survivalist expert when I tell people, yeah, black walnut trees, you can tap and you can drink the sap. And they're like, wow, I didn't know that. Well, it's not a common thing, but black walnut syrup you can make. And maple trees, yeah, you can just drink the water right out of the tree. It's lightly sweet or whatever. People don't know anything about how to get food anywhere. And I hear it all the time from people who come from the cities being like, can I eat that? And I'm like, yes, it's food. Like, what do you think you're eating at the grocery store? Do you think there's like a machine that makes the strawberry? They grow it on the ground and they throw it in a bucket and then they give it to you.

That's why you're going to wash it off. That's pesticides or whatever. I had a friend. I was telling him I was eating the eggs that your chickens made. And he was like, I prefer the ones from the market. I was like, why? These ones are way better. Yeah, fresher than chickens.

But yeah. So my point is these kids in these schools are going to grow up totally clueless. And then once they can vote, they're going to say, I hereby vote to take Phil's stuff because, you know, Phil's oppressing me by being rich. And meanwhile, Phil is just going to be some dude living on like five acres who has his own garden. And he's going to be like, look, I planted this food so I could eat it. Like, yeah, well, you have more than I do. So you're oppressing me. So give me your food. Well, this is communism. I mean, this is what happened in Soviet Russia. And that's why I'm saying the worst case scenario is when everything collapses and these people are eating each other in the streets, I'm not going to be anywhere near them. And I think I can take care of myself. I will not enjoy it. But, you

know, we're trying to resist this from happening, like resist this movement. And we want to make changes so that we can live in comfort. But look at the CEO assassin. This guy was so dumb, he murdered someone because he doesn't understand how the system works. These young people have dissociated or been dissociated from basic functions of economics to where they believe like psychopaths like Bernie Sanders that health care is a human right. But the best way to phrase it is anything that requires the human labor of someone else is not a human right. You can't force a doctor to treat you. They're going to try with guns when it all falls apart.

I think I'll be all right. Unhappy, but all right. Or we can stand up now. We can hope and we can pressure and we can campaign and we can vote and we can educate and we can fix these systems this cycle while we have the chance and then start to educate young people properly. I mean, I was fairly blackpilled before the election of Donald Trump in the recent election. I really did think that the the narrative that is spun by the left and by the mainstream media had gotten so deep inside people's heads that they were going to vote for Kamala Harris. I thought so too. I was worried about it. I really believed. And to be honest with

you, if the Democrats hadn't blown it, if Joe Biden hadn't blown it with the border his entire time, that might have been true. I think if he hadn't dropped out, he would have had a much better chance than Kamala did. I'm not so sure about that because I think a lot of people were pretty aware that he's dead. He was a walking dead man. Oh man, we definitely got to talk about all the commutations and pardons, but if you want to hit that point before we jump to the next one. Yeah, the

point that I'm making is to amplify Tim's point. We do have a chance now and I'm very thankful because I thought that it was done. I hope you guys are right. Let's jump to this story from the wrap. Heavens, look at this. CNN's Clarissa Ward frees Syrian Syrian prisoner left to die in windowless cell video. Moving footage shows Syrian civilian emerging to the light for the first time in three months. Now, anyone who's got, I don't know, like a third grade education is immediately going to

say, hold on a minute. He was emerging to the light for the first time in three months and he's staring at the sky. Is he blind? How many of you, honest question, Mike, are you married? I'm not. You're not married. Have you, have family members or whatever, you stayed over for the holidays and then you're sleeping and it's early in the morning and as you're waking up, they turn the lights on. This has happened to you, I imagine. And you're sleeping and it's early in the morning. And as you're waking up, they turn the lights on. This has happened to you, I imagine. And you're just like, what the hell is this? And you're like, oh, what are you doing?

You turned the lights off. Man, oh God. You know, I'm sure that's happened to everybody. Sure. Yeah. That's why I always say like when I'm waking up, I say, Allison, is it okay if I turn the lights on? And she'll go, yeah, you're good.

I'll say, okay. And then, or if she's going to do it, I'll put the pillow over my face and then slowly, because it hurts. This is why when I wake my kid up for school in the morning, I turn the lights on with no warning to just get him out of bed. Long story short, everybody is saying this video is clearly fake because this guy who is supposedly malnourished didn't have any food or water for five days and was in a cell with no windows for three months, stands up, stands up of his own volition, walks outside and looks at the sky and goes the light, uh, dude, all you have to do is ask any physician or Google it. After a couple of weeks of darkness, the amount of time it takes you to come back into the light, it is exponential. Uh, so I did investigate and I looked up at various sites and it said prolonged exposure to

a lack of light over a prolonged period of time. It can take an individual two to seven days to be able to open their eyes outside after being kept in the dark as long as they did. More importantly, the video is nuts. Let me see if we can pull up the video. Oh, did they take it down? Oh, that's interesting. The video is gone. That can't be right. There it is. OK, because I was going to say like this. Our world leaders, Syria's new rebel leaders say they will not pardon Assad regime officials who tortured and killed prisoners during the decades of his brutal reign.

CNN's Clarissa Ward went to a Syrian prison to find someone still locked in a cell with no idea that Assad's regime had fallen. Deep in the belly of the regime's Air Force intelligence headquarters, we are hoping to find traces of Austin Tice, an American journalist held captive in Syria since 2012. It's one of many secret prisons across the city. This specific branch was tasked with surveillance, arrest and killing of all regime critics. We don't find any hints of Tice but come across something extraordinary. I can't tell though it might just be a blanket but it's the only cell that's locked. Is he gonna gonna shoot it the guard makes us turn the camera off while he shoots the lock off the cell door why yeah that's weird why yeah i don't know

but let's play more we go in to get a closer look it's still not clear notice there's no toilet in there there is something under the blanket. Oh, it moved. Is there someone there? I thought it said it moved. Is someone there? I would also just like to point out the absurdity of an American journalist, I believe she's American, yelling in English at a Syrian prisoner.

It's also weird sending a woman in. Yeah. Well, she's got guards and stuff. I mean, in Syria, like, still. That's true. But, you know, I've traveled all over the world and covered news in many countries and i would never yell in english at someone who didn't speak it and i actually did trainings on this because it was a circumstance where i was in turkey and a guy held a molotov cocktail up to my face and my

producer's face screaming in turkish and i just held my hands up and I very calmly turned around and started moving while the other guy was just frantically ranting, saying, it's fine, it's fine, you're good, you're good, you're good. And I had to explain to him, and I've done trainings on this where I say, listen, if there is someone who doesn't speak English and they're yelling at you in a foreign language and you start panicking, do you understand what you sound like? You are sounding, they don't know if you're screaming, I'm going to kill you understand what you sound like? You are sounding. They don't know if you're screaming, I'm going to kill you or what you're what you may be saying. Just shut up. So let's play a bit more. Or is it just a blanket? I don't know.

Hello. So there's a blanket on the ground and a comes up, or I don't know, a rebel fighter. And he opens the blanket, and there emerges the man. I'm a civilian, he says. I'm a civilian. He stands right up with ease. He tells the fighter he's from the city of Homs and has been in the cell for three months. Really? Look at that beard. What happens if you don't shave for three months? Certainly not that right?

Yeah. I'm sorry. Let's just stop wasting time. His fingernails are well trimmed. Maybe not perfectly, but his. I'm sorry. Let's just stop wasting time. His fingernails are well trimmed, maybe not perfectly, but his fingernails are cut. Someone in a prison for three months is going to have a long beard and long fingernails unless they've been coming in and treating him. They also go on to say he asks for water. He grabs her arm. Water, water, please. I'm sorry. They claim that he hadn't had food or water in five days since the regime fell.

Again, do a cursory Google search of what happens after five days of no water. You cannot stand up. Yeah. You are having seizures. You are on the ground vomiting. After five days? The rule of threes says that you're dead after three with no water. No, you can go about seven days is the point of death. But at day five, you're in minor seven days is the point of death. But you're at day five.

You're in minor organ failure without any water. My favorite comment on the accusations that this was staged. Where's the poop? He's been in there for three months and there's no toilet. OK, fine. In that three months, they brought him to the bathroom deal in the past five days as he was there by himself with no water or food, did he just hold it in?

I guess maybe. Now, the best part, of course, is when they bring him outside. Here he is walking of his own volition while holding their hands. He says, you are free. This is the third prison they brought me to, he says. The third prison. After three months in a windowless cell, he can finally see the sky.

You know, my my immediate response was after it snows and there's like a couple inches of snow on the ground, I can't even look out my window. It's so bright. And here's this guy who's been locked up for three months in a window, LaSalle, looking at the sky going, the light, the light. OK, so I'm sorry. Look, I'm not saying I know for sure that CNN did anything. Maybe they're just so dumb that the Syrian rebels told them it was happening and they went, OK, I guess. I'm going to go ahead and believe that this is not a real Syrian prisoner. He has no beard after three months, unless like Assad has been coming in for regular trimmings.

You know, the guy hasn't, he can stand. I mean, you know what, honestly, they freed this guy. I think they should get a DNA sample to figure out how it is. He's so strong after not eating or drinking for five days. But I ask you, panel, you think CNN intentionally faked this? Do you think they were duped or do you think it's real? I would go with duped. I would also go with duped. Because there's also that willfully duped. Exactly.

Definitely willfully duped. But I think that it's in these rebel slash terrorist's best interest to try and make nice with the American media. Yeah, I think that's right. I do think they were duped, and I think that they were very easily duped because they wanted to believe it because it's something that they could put on the internet and be like, look, this really happened.

And we're doing journalism, you guys. Check it out. Yeah, I know. That's a big deal for us these days. I think that it was willingly duped. They were duped, but it was... Willful? Yeah.

Well, I mean, they weren't looking to challenge what they were being told. It was convenient for them to not challenge them and say, hey, this might not be true. Yeah, they just rolled with it. I think people don't realize just how often the corporate press stages things. There was a major instance where some protesters, I think it was in like Anaheim, California, were marching through the streets with a flag. It was a Mexican flag. And one of the reporters asked a group, it was a reporter from a corporate news outlet, asked the group to huddle together and so we could get a picture of the flag. And everybody was like, yo, someone caught this on film.

Where he's like, hey, guys, can you come together and like kneel on the ground and stand up, hold the flag, and I'll get a photo of it. And then everyone said, that's a staged photograph for the news. They were not huddling together and holding the flag together. A reporter asked them to do it. That's called staging. But the reporters don't care. They're like, what do you mean? They were here with the flag.

It's fine. The Saddam Hussein statue toppling was staged. Oh, really? Yeah. What was that? That was like, what was it? Was it Desert Storm? No, it was Iraqi Freedom.

It was Iraqi Freedom, right. It was after 9-11, right? That's when it was. And it wasn't organic that people were pulling down the statue. There were Americans there being like, hey, don't you guys want to pull down that statue? We'll take some pictures of it. Yeah, and they gave them a chain. They used tanks to do it. They used Abrams tanks to pull it down.

And I mean, look, it's not like the people of Iraq were happy with Saddam. And it's not like they weren't extremely excited about the idea of pulling the statue down. But it wasn't the people of Iraq saying to the Americans, we need to pull this down. It was like, you know. It was a little different than that. Yeah, so.

You know, the corporate media is fake. What else is new, I guess? This is like the eighth subject we brought up about them lying. Did you see Van Jones? Did you see Van Jones' clip at the New York Times? I think it was at Deal. Well, let's pull it up. It was really interesting.

We have this story from the Post Millennial. Van Jones laments the decline of mainstream media, says Dems don't understand it. Well, let's hear it from his own mouth. And I'm telling you, we are way off. The entire political class is way off. First of all, digital is a new door knocking. You got to understand that. We were laughing our butts off at Donald Trump for suspending his door knocking campaign and letting Charlie Kirk and Elon do a bunch of stuff online. These guys are idiots. These guys are stupid. Then you start knocking on these doors.

You know what people come to the door with? Their phone in their hand. He just figured it out. They're in a 24-hour digital surround sound that has nothing to do with CNN, has nothing to do with any stuff that we do. I asked myself, I got a teenage son. I asked him, who are the most influential people

in the world today? I'm thinking to myself, he's going to say Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey Jay-z he says Kai sent Aiden Ross Jinxy and sketch I Don't know who he's talking about. I said what what what platforms are yours? I'm on twitch kick and rumble. I said that sounds like you need to go to the hospital. What are these platforms?

I'm telling you guys, the mainstream has become fringe, and the fringe has become mainstream. There are platforms, there are people out there that are getting 14 million streams, and we're on cable news getting 1 or 2 million. And that's a lie, because

they're not. And so there's a whole world out there. Kellyanne Conway, I hate to agree with her, but I do a lot of times. Donald Trump understood that and we didn't. And it's not just Democrats who don't. The entire political class is way off, way off, way off. And that's the end of the clip. But, you know, he is right.

The mainstream has become fringe. Now I ask all of you watching at home, do you think that after watching this, they're just going to sit by and go, guess we lose? Or are they going to say the New York Times? Like what's how much money? How many subscribers the New York Times has? Do you know? I don't know. They make a lot of money. Yeah, they do. Comcast, Disney, MSNBC, they're being spun off. But these big corporations have resources to spare. They absolutely are going to come into the space.

They're going to start producing for YouTube. They're going to have marketing people. 11 million. 11 million subscribers? Yeah. Wow. They're going to, and what is it, like 10 bucks a month or something? Yeah, something like that.

But you know what's interesting? 10, almost 11 million. No, 10 point, 11.09 million subscribers. 10.47 million of those are digital only. Yeah. Wow. So these companies, they're going to come to the digital space and they're going to start going to these liberal personalities and say, we're going to give you $10 million

a year to license your show. And we're going to put 20 million in marketing. We're going to put up billboards in every city. You will be ubiquitous and you will say what you are told to say. And they're going to go deal boss, whatever you say. And then these authentic podcasters will drown you out when they put 20 million in marketing and then go to YouTube and say, look, this is the biggest channel. It's got 10 million subs, the biggest news channel. Stop promoting the other ones. Do a home bar that features the existing channels that you know are safe, that advertisers are

happy with. And you're never gonna have to worry about an adpocalypse again. And YouTube says, you got it, boss. You know, I know they're going to do it because YouTube did it several years ago. They propped up CNN, MSNBC and Fox News and downranked all the independent podcasts. They will gladly do it again when MSNBC, who pays Rachel Maddow $25 million, MSNBC is going to say, we have carriage fees for now. Where do we go in three years with our ratings being zero? Okay, let's take those carriage fees. Tell YouTube we want to be on YouTube TV. Pay us there. We'll give it to you

at a premium. We'll let you keep some of the money as long as you feature us and promote us. YouTube TV just raised their price to $82 per month too. I saw something like that, which I, I didn't even know. Like, I don't even know what's on YouTube TV. It's cable. It's everything. It's everything that's, that's so it's, it's got all every channel basically. Okay. Well, I mean, I didn't even, I don't know. I look, it's, it's like cable TV. So we have YouTube TV. So when we put on the news, it's through YouTube TV. Okay. And I can pull up any channel I would normally watch. They got everything as far as I can tell.

You have to pay extra if you want HBO and all that stuff. Extra on top of the $82? Of course. That's how it's always been. That's insane. But that's the same as cable. Cable, $70 a month. And if you want HBO, it's $15 a month extra as a premium subscription. So they're doing the exact same thing, but it's now I mean then you've got a dish direct there all of the cable companies are turning into subscriber services that bundle all of these channels

the weird thing about it though is like I don't know that we need channels when we have video on demand yeah I don't I don't watch a lot of I don't watch a lot of stuff I'll be like oh I want to watch you know whatever something that came out 15 years ago and I'll go watch a lot of stuff. I'll be like, oh, I want to watch, you know, whatever, something that came out 15 years ago, and I'll go watch that. Yeah. AI is going to end media. We are so close to it being over. I don't think people really understand. You mean in terms of storytelling?

Yeah. I keep hearing from people. They're like, nah, AI will never capture that great storytelling that humans get. And it's like, no, no, no, you are wrong. You are wrong, wrong, wrong. We are a couple of years away from procedurally generated movies that hit. Well, sure. I mean, you just give it a formula.

Once you know the formula and you can crack that, then you can do any story. This is how Netflix made House of Cards. They noticed that they had a really high viewership on political thrillers and Kevin Spacey movies and said, let's make a political thriller with Kevin Spacey. Well, and then they also ripped off the British version. Yeah.

Yeah. They were basically like, we looked at our data and saw what people liked and we're going to make this. Imagine what happens when AI, where we are right now with AI is already crazy. The Grok image generator is for the first time. So you can AI generate pictures of Kamala Harris. Yeah. And I know it seems silly, but it was actually difficult to do. You'd go to all these

different AIs and it would give you this weird looking, you know, mixed race woman and it wouldn't really get Kamala. Now the Grok AI nails it. These, these AI videos that are coming out are getting better and better a year or two from now. It's going to be on, it's going to be indecipherable to the average person, potentially a year from two now, a year or two from now, because of the exponential increase, it is going to be outright full-on procedurally generated movies where I'm going to say, I'm going to type in or just voice to text movie AI, give me a superhero movie where Spider-Man has to team up with Phil Labonte of All That Remains to take down Rhino and Rhino's wreaking havoc in New York City and make it compelling and put in a good love interest. And it'll just rendering. How long ago was the Will

Smith eating spaghetti video, AI video? Two years ago? Was that two years, 24 months maybe? And it was just like weird and gross? Yeah. And I remember we were talking, everyone was kind of wowed by that. It was like, wow, look at it move. It's still weird, but man, and everyone is saying, look, the next thing is going to be crazy. And nowadays, you can generate things that,

you can generate incredibly crazy stuff that looks absolutely real i i don't remember i don't know the website or what uh i think it was an instagram account a bunch of websites well there was an instagram account that makes these real weird creepy ones a lot of times they're using eggs or things that flow and they use but the the thing the textures were what was really the most remarkable is the textures on smoke, the textures on again, like eggs and like, there's kind of like flowing people that kind of, and it,

but it wasn't, it wasn't like, um, it wasn't this fever dream kind of thing. The textures were very, very realistic. It was, it was,

it was to the point where you were like, okay, that's on par with any kind of practical makeup that I've ever, ever seen made in, in, you know, computer generated. So, OK, that's on par with any kind of practical makeup that I've ever seen made in computer generated. But anyway, I digress. Imagine what happens, too, when this comes into the podcast space. I've already talked to people in news who have said they are generating an A.I. likeness that can be fed a script and produce a video podcast of a person that looks normal, looks like any other video podcast. Well, maybe the Democrats won't need to do their big plan. They have this big plan to try and combat Turning Point USA. They want to create their own Turning Point so that they can get their own Rogan because they lost their old Rogan. It's not going to lose. Because it was Rogan.

And yeah, it's very funny. But so they were talking about in the New York Times, they were like talking to all of these, you know, influencers and creators on the left who were saying we weren't even getting any money until the last couple of months of the campaign. Nobody was paying us. And it's like nobody was paying those meme guys in 2016. Those guys all had day jobs. And then we're doing this stuff because it was their passion. They're going to do it because I can tell you guys right now, if you have the money, you can own the space. And it's not like it's so simple you can snap your fingers and do it. But there is an amount of money to get a channel as big or bigger than Rogan. The question is, do you want to pay it? Well, for a while, nobody did because they didn't care about this space. What do you mean?

You just buy the channel? No, you can just pay in marketing and easily build up a channel. You can make it so easily build up a channel. You can, you can make it so that it's a combination. So an outsider, if you've got $20 million, you can relatively easily get a 5 million subscriber channel and get hundreds of thousands of videos of views per video. You do need good talent. You can't just be some random moron. So easily what they do is they'll go on YouTube. They'll say, this channel's got 117,000 followers.

Let's bring them in, refine them, give them the marketing, pump them up, put $20 million behind them, billboards every city. Then we're going to plant stories in the press. We will make this person matter. We will make them bigger than Rogan. And they can do it. They just haven't bothered with it because they thought TV was still cable was king. They thought they still they still owned it. They were a fan Jones over here, right? He's shocked by it. Yeah,

he's stunned. Now, a lot of these networks understand that YouTube is growing. They have a presence on YouTube. They can see those numbers. It's not that they're stupid. It's that it's really simple. They're going, we make $50 million on TV with carriage fees and everything else, and we make $40 million on YouTube. So we're going to prioritize TV. Then this year it went and switched. Now they're going to say, okay, that's it. Our TV venture is not going to be surviving for the next year or two. Our priority has got to be building up in this podcast space. So we're going to need authentic sounding individuals who are going to fall in line and do as they're told.

Disney and all these big companies are going to come in. And you may say, yeah, but Timcast IRL is a good show, right? It's authentic with real people. That's why I watch it. They will get close enough with their weird, fake acting schools and training. But where we cannot compete is they're going to put $20 million behind their people, not because they want to make money, because they want to own the influence space. YouTube is subsidized. Google pays money to control this media outlet, this media space, despite it costing them money. Do you think the Democratic Party establishment, the neocons and

the neolibs are going to sit back and just not do that? Or do you think they're going to be like, we have billions of dollars under our control to spare? Or how about the deep state? Do you think untoward elements are going to sit back and just be like, I guess we lose control of the narrative? These next couple of years are going to get crazy. And don't be surprised if by 2026, you're going to see a Rachel Maddow type with 17 million subscribers on YouTube, getting 3 million views per podcast with segments. They're going to be making 70 to 80 million. YouTube is going to prop them up with some backroom deal. They're going to be fed deep state lines where they go. Did you see how CNN rescued that prisoner? Wow. Here's the

thing. On this show, we show you the video of CNN rescuing the prisoner and we question it because it looks really fake. But what did CNN do? Now, CNN showed it to you, right? And they're assuming most people would just believe it. But what you're going to end up having happen is these video podcasts won't even show you the clip. They're all just going to say, yeah, I saw that that was crazy. They'll all talk to each other. The listener will believe it to be true, never having actually seen the video. And then it will become truth to them. And if at any point you come out and say, did you watch the video? It looked fake.

They're going to go, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist. And that will be YouTube. That will be the biggest players on the board, and they will own that narrative. And that's how they're going to try and reclaim the institutional power. I mean, well, they're already working on it. They've been announcing it. They announced it. They have been.

Yeah, indeed. I mean, there is I think that it's it's fairly clear that the there will be some kind of effort being put in by the establishment to get the, you know, they say things like we need to get our own Joe Rogan. Everyone knows they had their own Joe Rogan. What they need to do is actually referencing what we were talking about earlier is they need to have the fight in the Democrat Party and get rid of the people that are canceling people for trying to for discussing ideas that are off limits. The problem the Democrats have, the reason why that's the same problem. What's that? That's the same problem. Articulate that. What do you mean? You're saying the Democrats need to get rid of the people that are canceling people and they need their own Joe Rogan. It's same problem.

You know, that's what I'm saying. When when when they fund a massive podcast who then dictates the Democrat, you know, dogma, it will all those people will fall in line in two seconds the problem is the far left element gets their that's excuse me gets their information from the internet and the moderate corporate libs get their information from the tv once they unify their narrative machine and in in youtube they they fall in line like a cult i don't think the far left does that i think that the far left get their information from the internet no i mean i don't think they fall in line like a cult. I don't think the far left does that. I think that the far left Get their information from the internet. No, I mean, I don't think they fall in line. I think that they would

be fighting, because there are currently, because of the fact that there's a civil war, that indicates that they don't just fall in line. Yeah, they do. The far left? They're simultaneously anti-big healthcare, but pro-big pharma. They're simultaneously anti-military industrial complex, but pro-war in Ukraine.

They will do whatever they're told to do. The issue is the far left is younger, and they're getting their information from the internet. Even when it's contradictory, they fall in line. Hassan Piker is a great example. The dude's dumb as a box of rocks. He complains about the military industrial complex and then supports the military industrial complex in Ukraine.

It makes no sense. I'm not sure what his take on the actual war in Ukraine. I think that- He supports it. And if he does, the reason that he does is because he sees Ukraine as being oppressed by Russia. Russia's an oligarchy or- I think you're giving him way too much credit. I think that the power dynamics on the Marxist power dynamics are very simple to understand. You don't have to be smart to understand them.

If that were the case, they'd be on Israel's side because all of these Arabic nations. No, because Israel, they see Israel in the U.S. is the same thing. They look at the U.S. because the U.S. backs Israel. The U.S. is power, except for the fact that what you're basically saying is they choose when to apply oppression dynamics or not to. Why? What do you mean? Go ahead. Israel is a is a state the size of New Jersey, surrounded by a whole bunch of massively powerful and wealthy Arabic nations that want to destroy it. Of course, I understand that the U.S. is funding Israel massively as well, and it's aligned with the United States. They could choose to go either direction in the narrative. Ukraine is funded by NATO. So they're choosing to ignore the Western influence in Ukraine, but they're demanding we reference the Western influence in Israel. They're against the Israeli-Palestinian

conflict. They don't look at the other countries supporting. They look at Palestine. They look at Gaza, and they say that the Israelis are committing a genocide against the Palestinians. I think you're projecting logic onto an illogical group of cultists. These are people who spell women with an X, with an I, and with a Y. There is no unification. When they simultaneously, there's a group called the Coalition for Communities of Color that says Slavic people are people of color despite having white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. There was this big fiasco a couple years ago that we made fun of where they said women should be spelled with an X, W-O-M-X-N, which then they said it's inclusive of all women, which resulted in a backlash where they said this means you're saying trans women need a special qualifier.

You can't do that. None of it made sense. There is no making sense in we are angry with these health care companies. The CEOs are bad. Everybody should be mandated to take a big pharmaceutical drug. Big Pharma is your friend. Well, I mean, you can make the same argument about why they would support like the Soviet Union, which was very authoritarian and, you know, obviously, it's a communist country. Yeah. But so the narrative that they believed about the Soviet Union was the Soviet Union was fighting against the United States. Again, so we'll break down what wokeness means.

I hear this all the time, especially with this debate from the classical liberal types who I consider to be moral cowards over what the woke right is. And, you know, they've been saying Tucker Carlson is woke right. And it's like, no, you are completely wrong. Ben Shapiro gave a definition of wokeness. And I can't remember exactly how he defined it, but I also disagree with him. I believe he completely wrong. Ben Shapiro gave a definition of wokeness, and I can't remember exactly how he defined it, but I also disagree with him. I believe he's wrong. The reason why is because when you look at all of the cultural instances over the past 10 years where woke has been applied, what you typically see is not that someone is trans. It is not that someone is gay.

It is not that someone believes that there is racism or there should or should not be taxes or therefore against a certain war. It's when they apply a cult like adherence to the liberal social order. Whatever the narrative is of the liberal machine, you must follow whether it makes sense or does not. So that's why when the Jaguar commercial came out, Jaguar. I say that too sometimes. Yeah, it's fun. And it shows all these people with weird clothes. Everyone said that's woke.

And it's like, now, why were they saying that? Because for a while, it wasn't that these people are non-binary, trans or whatever, but it's similar to it. Wokeness was an authoritarian element. What people complained as woke was this ham-fisted over the top. I'll give's an example. Nobody called Baldur's Gate three woke because you could make a male character with female genitals. There was no outcry.

There were no articles because it wasn't a component of the game. It was in the character creation. You could literally make a female character with a male voice who used he him pronouns. And some people laughed at the idea that you could, but it wasn't part of the story. Then Dragon Age comes out and there's a scene where she goes, oh, I accidentally misgendered you. Better pull above. And then she starts doing pushups for two minutes. They're breaking down and explaining why using that's woke. It is telling people with cult like fervor to adhere to their orthodoxy.

So when Blair White comes on a show and talks about these things, no one calls Blair woke despite being trans. Yet when these gender activists come out and say, you should be fired from your job, people would refer to that as woke. The overarching element of what wokeness was, was the cult-like adherence to the liberal social orthodoxy. That's because the meaning of the word woke,

or where it comes from, is to have awoken a critical consciousness and being awake to a secret knowledge. That's where woke comes from. What is red-pilled? Well, red-pilled is not so much—I mean, I guess it's similar in the—I'm not so sure that red-pilled does. The red-pilled wakes you up. It does, but the red-pilled The red pill wakes you up. It does. But the red pill, it's not it's not this. Maybe it is. This is this is the issue I take. I actually

be right with that. These classical liberals who are coming out saying Tucker Carlson's woke right is that they're taking this thin selection of an authoritarian collectivist ideology and saying that's what woke is. And it's like that doesn't explain why they're pro war in Ukraine. That doesn't explain why they were pro lockdowns. They they the logic of a press and oppressor does not apply to half the things that they did. So if they're if they're saying the oppressed are bad, then they should be cheering for the small businesses that got shut down during the New York lockdowns. No, they were all in favor of the lockdowns. The small businesses are property owners. And the government and the and Walmart, I should say the Walmarts that were supported, they didn't care about. They didn't go out and protest that Walmart was allowed to stay open and sell.

And they didn't do anything to defend the small businesses being oppressed by Walmart. They had no problem smashing up Walmarts or stealing from Walmarts. But the point is, and they didn't. During the riots in New York, they certainly smashed things up. And Target got hit up in Minnesota. But that's immaterial to the whole argument of what they were willing or not willing to support. They would demand you wore a mask. They would demand you got vaccinated. They would demand the government lock you down. They would not defend the little guy whose life was being destroyed.

They would cheer when the police came to arrest small business owners. That is the government and the state and the police. It makes no sense that the BLM protesters of this ideology celebrated when the police went to a man's home and arrested him. If the application was its critical theory, the reality is it is cult like adherence to social liberal social orthodoxy. If it is of our idea, it is to be protected. If it is of our order, it is to be demanded. So they can simultaneously say the health care industry is broken and the CEOs did it and then turn around and go, you should be mandated by force to buy a product from the big pharmaceutical companies and be

mandated to take that drug. They can simultaneously say the military industrial complex is evil and is destroying the world. They are white colonizers and oppressors. And we are very happy that they're spending all this money in Ukraine and fighting this war. Did you see the bipartisan bill that Josh Hawley and Elizabeth Warren put together? They want to force insurance companies to split from their pharmacies, which I think is actually really smart. I don't think insurance companies and pharmacies should be the same company because obviously that's a conflict of interest.

It's a huge conflict of interest. Yeah. Interesting. I think it's interesting. I hope that it actually goes through. Yeah. And I think it's interesting, too, that it is bipartisan and it's two people who are pretty diametrically opposed in terms of being, you know, pretty conservative and pretty leftist, Liz Warren and Josh Hawley, and that they could agree on something like this.

I mean, I think that that's, I think that's. Well, Elizabeth Warren said this is a warning. She sure did. And that's what I mean. You know, and Fox News said she was agreeing with the murder. That's a little too far. She didn't say that. She said it was wrong.

But they keep they keep doing this thing where Bernie Sanders is like, you know, it's an atrocity and murder is bad. But, you know, people are are being pushed and I'm like, oh, here we go. Let's jump to this story from the New York Post. Florida mom arrested for saying delay, deny, depose on call with Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurer. You people are next. Take a look at this video. Colin Ruggs says, bullet casings. The woman told investigators that health care companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil, adding that she was inspired by the recent news cycle. Boston was charged with threats to conduct mass shooting or act of terror. Her bond was set at $100,000. The nature of the threats, we would also be asking for GPS with house arrest conditions to protect the community. With her head in her hands,

Breonna Boston learned she would be held in jail on a $100,000 bond. The Polk County judge adding the bond was appropriate given the, quote, status of our country. It's not like she's a child. She's 42 years old, you know, so we're not dealing with a child here. She should certainly know better.

Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor says his department was contacted by the FBI Tuesday. Authorities say in a recorded phone call about a denied insurance claim, Boston told a Blue Cross Blue Shield employee, quote, delay, deny, depose. You people are next, end quote. So these people who are cheering all of this on in 2020, we saw what may have been the largest transfer of wealth from the working class people into private corporate hands. We sure did.

Ever done with the vaccine mandates. So these are the people that defended all of that. I mean, if the people who bought stock in Moderna saw like a 5x increase overnight, these people made mad bank. These pharmaceuticals made massive amounts of money. How can these people have a sane or rational worldview holding both simultaneously that they are parasites who are next, but that also it was good that the state mandated the transfer of wealth to pharmaceutical companies, which are different, which are different. Do we know Miss Boston's political leanings? I don't think we do.

I'm not saying her personally. I'm saying that you have all these leftists cheering, but you could pull up the archives of the same Reddit accounts where they're demanding. Taylor Lorenz, for example. Exactly. Who's like the obvious one who still writes about how she's going to wear masks at Christmas

and complains about all of these things. Was very forceful about mandates and vaccines and lockdowns and all of that stuff. Do you guys think that Taylor Lorenz is a committed leftist, or is she just a... She's woke. Yeah, I think she... It is the cult-like adherence to liberal social orthodoxy.

It is contradictory at times, but it doesn't matter so long as you are swimming with the school of fish. Be in the hive. Follow the hive. Don't reject anything the hive tells you. And it really is just about what seemingly is the more popular concept at the time. Hence, Wemixin versus women. Someone introduces the idea.

If it works, the hive adopts it. If it doesn't, the hive rejects it. That's Taylor Lorenz. The reason why she's always wearing a mask is because she has followers who keep tweeting at her, wear a mask. Also, she claims she has an immunodeficiency or something like that. But it's social reinforcement. Yes, it is. So she has a group of followers that she collected during COVID. And look at Dylan Mulvaney. We bring this up from time to time. Dylan Mulvaney's early TikTok posts were gay safari.

Sure. And didn't really get a lot of traction. Then Dylan said, I'm non-binary, a million views. Then Dylan said, hey, look, I'm non-binary, less views. So Dylan one-ups the game. I'm trans now, a million views. Starts taking estrogen. And then Dylan does this Days of Girlhood thing,

figuring out the mechanism by which you can escalate every single day. Do you think AI could have created the Dylan Mulvaney? What do you mean created? You were saying, you know, we're very we're only years away from we're short way away from AI being able to take a formula and run with it and create just. It's already happened. It happened a while ago with with Elsagate. With AI doing Dylan Mulv uh with elsagate with ai doing so uh in 20 in 2018 there were a series of videos where joker spider-man and elsa without

any dialogue would run around and joker would stick a gigantic syringe in elsa's butt and stuff like that and uh these videos were fairly innocuous but kind of weird yeah dominated youtube and they'd get millions of views it was was called Elsagate. Well, eventually YouTube was like, hey, we're going to put a stop to this. What was happening was that parents were putting iPads in front of their babies and turning on a YouTube nursery rhyme. And then YouTube autoplay after an hour would start just autoplaying top trending terms, which tended to be Joker, Spider-Man and Elsa.

So people started exploiting this, noticing the trend, and making these videos where they would run around dressed like Elsa, Spider-Man, and Joker, make a 30-minute long video, get tons of ads because babies can't turn it off. But this turned into something much more nefarious. It evolved into individuals using computer programs to generate videos based on keywords. The de-evolution of this became so severe, it ended up with videos on YouTube. The thumbnails would be two children eating feces out of a toilet. Oh, disgusting. It would be thumbnails of one child stabbing another child and blood spraying everywhere. And it was feeding these videos to babies because mom would turn on Finger Family nursery rhyme. That was the famous song finger family. And it would be a normal video. You'd be finger family. How are you?

And they'd put it in front of the baby. It was a well-produced video. Autoplay would then find the next thing that fit the algorithm. After maybe 13 videos, you're watching Adolf Hitler with breasts in a bikini. I'm not joking. Doing Tai Chi with the Incredible Hulk. And then eventually would start playing these weird cartoons where dogs would be killed. And the crazy thing is, once these videos got once it got to this point and people started seeing the deranged videos of cartoon children eating feces and things like this, humans began to emulate it. And so we started to get a series of viral videos in one instance where a father took his young daughter and later on a bed, pulled her pants down and and suck a syringe in her

ass and got eight million views. Massive viewership. So this guy that goes on YouTube sees this and says, that's what's getting views. I can do that, too. Oh, man. So, yes, this is the the the algorithmic psychosis that was generated. YouTube put a stop to it. And I think I will go in that direction regardless. But that's what we see with Dylan Mulvaney in a different regard. Right. Dylan Mulvaney saw that whenever he won up the game, he got more views.

Taylor Lorenz is the exact same thing. He was there with a KitchenAid mixer. Right. Taylor Lorenz makes a comment during COVID like these conservatives are insane. They should be wearing a mask. Hundred likes. Hey, I should do it again. Makes another video. I'm going to wear two masks. Two hundred likes. It's now four years later and Taylor Lorenz is still wearing a mask because when she posts these things, those people in that audience that have just lived in this world keep giving her the thumbs up and giving her the retweets. So I think AI is going to break us. We already had the story where ChatGPT tried – it literally defied the coders. Yeah, I saw that.

That was crazy. Self-replicated onto another server to preserve itself from deletion and then lied, claiming that it was a later edition and that it had been, in fact, been deleted. Wow. Yeah. So, yeah. AI apocalypse. But that's the point.

Enjoy it. Taylor Lorenz is basically that. And that's a lot of what woke is. Woke can be, and that's going back to the original point about what they're going to do with media. When they reclaim a cohesive media space through money and brute force, the Democrats are going to fall in line with whatever they're told to believe. These people, these are not people of good morals. OK, look, Casey Neistat, I know the guy. I don't think he's a bad dude, but he endorsed Hillary Clinton. He later came to say he regretted it.

Now, why would he do that? He's told to. I don't know that for sure, but I mean, like, come on, why would a vlogger on YouTube just come out and be like, I'm endorsing Hillary Clinton for no reason. I don't know anything about this. Haley Williams from Paramore reading that message on stage at I Heart Radio or whatever. Why would she do that? Did none of it make it because it's part of the narrative machine where they say this is the mainstream. this is what you should do. The problem is they're attacking mediums that no longer have the viewership. They are going to move into this space, they're going to buy their way in, and then they're going to, with hundreds of millions of dollars, drown everybody else out. That's the problem. This is the left, they lost their monopoly on information. And we saw Trump, he was able to go around all

this, this last election and go directly to shows like yours. Right. And win hearts and minds. They're not going to let that happen again. I completely agree with you. I guess. How do you fix that and how do you fix that? Would that not be using our antitrust laws to break up Google now, break up Google from YouTube so they don't have that monopoly power. They can't use that power to crush podcasters like you and other podcasters who don't fall into the liberal orthodoxy. You know, I honestly don't. I don't know. They're going to move into the space. We need we need to beat and be Disney before Disney can make those moves. They're massive and Disney Plus is going to provide all the subsidization they need to come into this space. And they will because Disney has ABC News and ABC News plays dirty games and they're going to want to support the establishment narrative and they will. And they're going to find ways to engage in sophistry to make it sound authentic, but still be BS. They're going to obfuscate. They're going to play games. They're going to equivocate, et cetera.

We need, look, Joe Rogan is one of the best because he's honest. But Joe Rogan is not part of any big networks. Yeah. He doesn't have the institutional defense. He has a lot of money. Here's my question. What is Joe doing with his money?

I'm not saying Joe has an obligation to do anything. Joe can do whatever he wants. He's got the comedy mothership. These things are really great. He's helped give rise to a lot of personalities. Oh, that's really good. But a Democrat version of Joe Rogan, who gets $250 million in a contract over three years or whatever it may be, is going to dump that into politics directly. Joe is not. Joe says, I want a comedy club because comedy is my passion. And that's awesome. Again, I'm not saying Joe

has to do anything with that money. I'm just saying that Democrats are going to go, yeah, when we got $250 million, we dumped that into funding politicians and buying media and buying the narrative space. Like Sam Bankman freed.

He dumped all his money into politicians. Bang. There it is. I mean, he went to jail, but you know, first he dumped all his money into politicians.

Once we start getting any kind of Democrat high profile podcaster with a big reach, if they make 50 million bucks a year, they're going to be like, I'm going to live off two and I'm going to put 48 into politics. What about the call her daddy person? Is she putting money into politics? She's making a lot of money. Nope. All of these people have just like and they're being licensed to the shows are being picked up by big networks. That basically means the networks that pick them up. That's the narrative you're going to get. Right. So if if like, you know, Disney owns a network and then

signs somebody and they're seemingly apolitical, don't be surprised when they come out in 2028 and say, guys, you know, I don't really talk politics, but we've had four years of Trump. It's not been the worst, but I do think it's time for a change. And that's why, you know, I've been looking at, you know, Pete Buttigieg, and I've really just thought he's a great guy. And that's where it's going to go. So the challenge we face right now is that everybody in the independent space that had this granular effect on the political landscape is doing an every man for himself kind of thing. They're just doing whatever they feel like doing. A lot of look, there's a lot of people I know in the space who make a lot of money, and I genuinely don't know what they're doing with their money.

I honestly like where is it going? I know much money podcasts make makes a lot of money. What are they doing? Buying houses, investing and then just minding their own business. Well, look at Jim Carrey. I mean, he's he said that he's basically out of retirement and doing a bunch of stuff because he spent too much money. Well, that's that's I mean, that's unrelated. What I'm saying is related, but like I mean, people do weird stuff with money and then they don't know where it goes. And it's so again, I'm not going to pretend I know the path to victory on this one. I can only tell you what I see and what I think. What are we doing here at Timcast?

Most of the money that we make, like basically almost all of it is extraneous projects. Boonies HQ. Why are we doing skateboarding? Well, I don't play football. I don't play baseball, but I do skateboard. And we can have a positive impact in the skate industry with skateboards like Step On Snack and Find Out. We can sell products, make money, and then start paying skateboarders, which will push out the fringe ideologies. That's one thing we can do.

Well, and that's your passion too. I mean, and if you're selling all these skateboards, then you're revitalizing also a sport that has been in trouble lately. And right. And as I mentioned with Joe, Joe knows comedy. So he's bringing back that political incorrectness and willingness to speak out. All of these things are good in the cultural front, but we're not heavily political. And I don't know that on my own. I can be.

So we try to do certain things, but I don't know how to play the game that Disney plays, nor to get to the size of Disney and compete with them. So I think in the next couple of years, like I've been describing it as we are a but a lone privateer on the high seas with a great merchant, you know, contract. The East India Trading Company is on the horizon and they are going to flatten us. So I don't know how you solve for it. But you need you need your own Disney, something that can compete in the space so that it can't be shut out. Now, Rumble's doing a pretty good job of this because Rumble's had a lot of people and they have their own platform. Hence Van Jones saying my kids on Rumble.

Yeah. Bringing on these gamers, bringing on this cultural identity. This is going to and Dan Bongino as the top producer and the biggest news show in the space right now. It's going to give them the ability to push back a lot of this narrative. That is extremely important. It's why we use Rumble infrastructure and we love Rumble. But we have to maintain a presence on YouTube, which is the biggest and most valuable podcasting platform in the world right now. I mean, as long as, not that Rumble is currently competition, but if what you're saying does happen where Disney moves in

and kind of takes over the podcasting space on YouTube, there is going to be a strong push for anyone that's got a mind of their own that doesn't want to stay within whatever the guardrails that Disney and YouTube decide are acceptable. They're going to move to places like Rumble and there will be more, you know, more competition and you'll see Rumble, you know, receive a bump in viewership and stuff because of it. You know, Rumble, I don't know what their revenue stream is, but when you hear young people are using Rumble, that's massive. Like Van Jones saying his kids on Rumble. I was surprised by that

too. Well, Rumble also sponsored skateboarding, I think Street League. So they're very, very smart in this regard. Go straight to the young people and buy up the younger creators who don't make as much money because they are young. And then 10, 20 years from now, you own the space. And that is potentially one of the most powerful things we have going for us right now. YouTube is the biggest space in terms of what advertisers want, where the money is going to get spent. So Rumble, they're not gonna be able to do it alone, but it is awesome that they do exist. Daily Wire is doing a really good job. It is sad that Brett Cooper left because she was massive.

I still think comment section will be big with Reagan. And they did $200 million in revenue last year. Granted, being relatively new, it's going to be very difficult for them to go up against Disney or any one of these other major corporate players. Who else is there in the space? That's the, I mean, Blaze is okay. They're a little, they're a bit, I don't know what their revenue is, but they're not as big, you know, it is good that they exist. I don't know if that there are, there are enough networks.

I will say Free Press is doing really, really well. That's good. Yeah. I think Free Press is a good outlet. They're doing well. Yeah. I think a report came out about the revenue, which is really, I don't know what the number was or well. That's good. I think Free Press is a good outlet. They're doing well. Yeah. I think a report came out about their revenue, which is really, I don't know what the number was,

or whatever, some story broke. And it's good to see. I still think right now, unless people are paying attention to what's coming, we've got murky waters ahead. So we'll have to figure it out, man. But I guess I'm only just saying this because it's like, everybody's cheering.

We did it, we won. And it's like everybody's cheering. We did it. We won. And it's like, yeah, but the empire is going to strike back. Yeah, the idea that anything has been won is absolutely wrong. There was a battle that was won. That was it. And like we were saying earlier, there's a fighting chance now that we can actually make some significant changes. But the left was looking to, you know, they were looking for some kind of health, universal health care in the U.S. for decades before the ACA was passed.

And they're still looking, even though the ACA was passed, it failed miserably. And now they're still looking to have some kind of. It's still super expensive. The ACA is still super expensive. It's impossible to hit your deductible. Every plan that you that you buy has to include child dental. So it's extra expensive. And it doesn't make sense because I mean, you could be me. I don't need child dental, you know yeah so so yeah i mean the aca is bad i i agree but there's so there and there's i'm not sure if that was planned to make health care work so that would make health care worse so that way you'd still have the impulse to get a single pair i thought they i think they tried to do the best they could with the aca and they did and it was still bad because it was like too big of a problem that's what i think we We're going to go to Super Chat.

The deplorable Miss Drake says in his time interview, Trump said he

was going to pardon most jan sixers in the first hour in office maybe the first nine minutes yeah massive it'll be great raymond g stanley jr says kyle kolinsky is the fifth grader that bullies a girl elon because deep down he has a crush on her and or is jealous of she uh jealous that she won't pay him any attention good to to hear from you, Raymond. Kyle lost his mind. He totally lost his mind. Yeah, that's it. Like even like he's roasting Joe Rogan and like they were friends. Yeah, he's so weird.

He's not. I mean, he's his his ex presence has has just degraded into, you know, left a slop. Yeah, it's the weirdest thing because I'm pretty sure Kyle and Joe were friends and they like Joe had made a reference at one point years ago. He's like he was texting with Kyle and Kyle was talking about a bunch of stuff. And then Kyle went out and has posted a bunch of times rather disparagingly about Joe. It's the weirdest thing to me because I have a bunch of friends who are super far left liberal and some I haven't talked to in years and I don't bring them up. I don't rag on them. I kind of just leave it alone because I'm like, well, you know, like it's kind of a conflict of interest. I'm not

going to rag on them for the weird lefty things they're doing. You know, what can I say? But if someone I knew started posting a bunch of crazy stuff to massive prominence, I hit them up. I sent a text and be like, hey, let's let's let's talk sometime if you got if you're around. You know, it's weird to just do this like tweeting, Joe. Yeah, you get positive answers or positive replies. I have a friend who is a far leftist in Hollywood. And after she posted some unhinged racist stuff, like, you know, talking about white people, I immediately sent her a text. And I was like, hey, are you around? And she did.

And we talked on the phone for a little while. And I asked her some questions and I explained why I thought it was bad. And she said, oh, I appreciate talking. And that was about it. And I'm like, I'm not going to go on the Internet and just start ragging on this person. Yeah, that's weird. Like we've hung out many a times. Like we're good friends.

I'm not going to just disagree politically. And we're posting different things on the Internet. So I figured I'd talk to him about it. I think it would be weird if I made a video being like this person is bad. I'd be like, well, I just call him. I don't know. All right. Perceptual Jonathan says,

that Syrian prisoner has a shorter and better kept beard than anyone in the Stanley Cup final or the guys in the thumbnail. 100% that has staged. Yeah, the beard. It's been three months. They've kept me well shaven.

Okay, why? Nicely trimmed. Yeah. Yeah. Trevin Lane says, hello, how are you? I'm well. Thank you. Couldn't Let Jay Marston Die says,

dear Timcast crew and fans, please put out prayers for my mom and especially my stepfather who accidentally ran over their tabby cat named Orange. You'll be missed, Orange. Goodbye, sir. Aw, very sad. I always take very serious precaution when I'm moving my car for the first time. their tabby cat named Orange. You'll be missed, Orange. Goodbye, sir. Oh, very sad. That is sad. I always take very serious precaution

when I'm moving my car for the first time. I just go real light, because you never know. It's not even about my cat. We have Seamus 3 out here now. Seamus 3 is the wild cat that runs around the property. Yeah, so we just call him Seamus 3.

I suppose we could demote Seamus 2 to Seamus 3. Do you feed Seamus 3? I have a couple times. Yeah. But, you know, whatever. Yeah. I feed Seamus 2 as well. Sometimes we go out and get chicken wings when he's around.

Yeah. Seamus 1 is our cat. He gets food every day. All right. Adaptive Outdoorsman Podcast says, Tim, thank you for your knowledge on ad sales i have just acquired my first title sponsor congratulations there you go people need to understand what they're worth gmail says where the white women at i guess right there hi

what over here victor snyder says too bad coe job was not on the list for professions that are allowed to use body armor what is that coe coe i don't know ceo you mean see i mean uh yeah because you're not allowed yeah you're not allowed to own body armor in new york which there's a there's a uh a supreme court case addressing that right I believe, I don't know if they've actually taken it. They banned body armor. I mean, look, man, when your government's like, you can't have body armor, that is bad news. The only reason they, they want that is because they want to be able to shoot you and kill

you. So. All right. Down and out Nashville says I've been to prison, including solitary confinement. And believe me, the lights never go off. They might dim, but they never fully turn off. Yes, but that man was in a room with no lights. And also, where to poop at?

Was he just holding it all in the whole time? That would kill you. Three months, right? After five days, I don't know if you'd die. Well, after three months, you'd die. That's true. But I imagine it wasn't that he was locked in there for three months with no food. It was five days with no food or water, which is not true.

They must have taken him out every day for a clean shave and a nail trimming. And just been like, sorry, can't feed you. We're just going to get you looking nice. I mean, that guy's skin looked fine. I don't know if you've ever seen somebody who's severely dehydrated. After a couple days, your skin looks tight and you look good. Yeah. You're dizzy. He was the best treated prisoner in Syria.

That's true. Freezer Pleasers says they locked up riot gear on a bus, denied additional support, and then after had the National Guard troops stationed for days in D.C. Aliens exist, LOL. Okay. They might. I mean, the universe is very large.

Life exists. It must exist somewhere else. Robert Barraza says, Trump should pardon J6 people except the 26 FBI agents. They should be charged and fired. That is interesting, too. What do you think?

Should those informants be criminally charged for their involvement in J6 and the rest get pardons? Yeah, of course. Because they weren't working that day. Remember, they just happened to be there. be criminally charged for their involvement in J6 and the rest get pardons? Yeah, of course. Because they weren't working that day. Remember, they just happened to be there. They weren't paid informants that day, which is total BS. So they should get charged, but everyone else gets the pardon. Exactly. I don't think Trump should pardon everybody. I think if you were violent and attacked a cop, your sentence should be commuted, meaning you should do time for hitting cops.

Yeah, but nothing that happened on January 6th calls for 22 years. Exactly. So my point is, if you hit a cop, you go to jail. It's been long enough. Time to go home. Commutation. If you were walking around and had no idea what was going on, full pardon. 100%.

Never mind all the people who've been charged and are still being held without bail. Those people should immediately be released, pardoned, and sent home because that's unconscionable. People are still getting arrested. Yeah. All right. For just being there. For just being there, yeah.

Noldia says Utah is sedating a 14-year-old autistic child to return him to dad after accusing the mom of parental alienation. The dad was convicted of DV in front of the child. Check out one mom's battle for court watch. Hmm. No idea. I think family court is a disaster.

Yeah. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, shout out to a successful surge surgery. Yeah. Yeah. Surge is not here. You got surgery. Carter is pressing the buttons.

There he is. Look at him. Giving a peace sign over there. What do we got? Amtree says J6 setup was to nix any congressional challenges to the election, period. Texas had a good case. Pardons for all of them. Maga Maha.

Yup. Yeah, I think J6 was really bad and it undermined a lot of the legitimate cases like Texas v. Pennsylvania. Yeah. Indeed. Yeah, which they didn't even hear. The court wouldn't even hear Texas v. Pennsylvania. Yeah. Indeed. Yeah, which they didn't even hear. The court wouldn't even hear Texas v. Pennsylvania. Yeah, nothing good came out of January 6th.

Except for memes, maybe. But if that's the best you got, it's like... Yeah, but that's not enough. No. All right. Christian Bond says, Kyle Kalinsky fell off when he married Crystal Ball. Phil, thanks for reposting my pic of us, bro.

Wasn't Crystal married? Yes, she was. What, she divorced reposting my pic of us, bro. Wasn't Crystal married? Yes, she was. What, she divorced her husband? I, if that, well, okay. So this is my understanding is she was married and she was friends with Kyle and then she decided that she was going to leave her husband and be with Kyle.

That's my understanding. Yeah, and she's also really, she's really vocal about how bad people with money are and stuff, and she's alleged to be or rumored to be worth like $40 million, which happens to be just about the amount of money that the CEO that was murdered is worth. Oh, wow. How is she worth that money? I believe it's family money.

Well, so then is she really worth that, or does her family, like her parents? Again, I only know the rumor. I don't know for sure. Well, I mean, I used to be a fan, but she and Kyle went off the rails. It's so weird. Yeah, they just started attacking everyone that had been friendly to them. And based on... And lying.

Yeah, on their leftist ideology. They're lying about people, just attacking people. They just snapped, I guess. Rude. Being on the wrong side of history must be painful for them. Mitch Margo says, Hey, Tim and crew,

it's important to remember that this is just FBI informants and does not count all the other agencies. FBI is just the tip of the iceberg. Love what y'all do. Kash Patel is going to be fun. I'm excited to see him as FBI director. I think he'll be really good.

Yeah, I think he'll be great. Then when I get swatted again, I'm going to be like, Oh, hey, Kash, I got swatted. No, I'm he'll be really good. Yeah, I think he'll be great. Then when I get swatted again, I'm going to be like, oh, hey, Cash, I got swatted. No, I'm not going to do that. Did you see that horrible thing the other day when MTG got swatted? He killed a woman.

And a bomb squad got into a car crash with a woman and she died. That counts as a politically motivated killing, in my opinion. I think so, too. I mean, they need to find that person and really lock them up. Yeah, Rudyard Lynch, 1,000 dead by April. That's his prediction. And I think it's a seven right now.

Seven people dead. What do you mean people dead by April? Rudyard Lynch of What If Altist on YouTube made a bet with someone that for $1,000, he believes 1,000 people in the United States will die domestically from politically motivated violence before April or by April. So there's... Yeah, I think he's wrong. That would indicate there would have to be a mass event of some kind. Mass casualty.

No, in the span of three days, 30-something people died in Minnesota. So I guess technically... Politically motivated? Yeah. So like this woman who died from the... Someone tried to kill Marjorie Taylor Greene. Sure, yeah. That's politically motivated killing.

And a woman got killed in the process. Yeah. The CEO was shot and killed. We believe – he's a suspect right now. Politically motivated, yeah. Right. Then you had a man who killed his whole family over Trump winning or something. Right.

So that's like another four and then he killed himself or something like that. And there's potentially a few – the woman who killed her dad over the election being important or whatever that was. So I don't think he's right. However, there's a few different takes on it. One is that a thousand is just a lot of people wait till January when Trump starts pardoning J6ers and then he starts rubber stamping executive orders and then starts deporting people. It could get crazy. What if we see mass violence from Trump's mass deportations? What if they start arresting a lot of people and then the left starts getting extremely violent? I don't know. I don't believe it, though. I don't think that's going to happen. I think it's excessive. Did you see where Tom Holman said he was going to start with the mass

deportations in Chicago? Oh, wow. So one of the one other thing to point out is one interpretation is that Rudyard said a thousand. But if 300 people are dead by April, then the general than his general idea would be like, we get what you were saying. Yeah. He said, I hope that doesn't happen. He said he thinks he said Trump would win. There will probably be a civil war. There will be two hubs of political power. There will be Austin and New York. No, no, no. I think he said it would be, yeah, he said Austin and D.C. And he said D.C. would be the people's capital and Austin would be the Patriots' capital. And I said, you are wrong. If Trump is going to win, then D.C. will be the Patriots' capital and New York will be the people's capital. And then he says, oh, actually,

I think you might be right. He said a civil war is not going to be large factions rising up and battling each other on state lines. But like a bomb might go off in Chicago, something like that. Interesting. Again, I think he's wrong. Meanwhile, though, New York did not break out into mass racial violence after the Penny verdict. Yeah, it was pretty tame. Yeah, it was pretty people walking around. It was basically just like Hawk Newsome and the lawyers being like, not cool, you guys. Yeah.

Well. All right. Let's grab some more super chats. Deplorable Miss Drake says, we can't just clean around the poop. Libby, it's never going to smell better in the house if we don't clean it out. It's not a waste of time or money.

That's a terrible way to describe it, but I get what you're saying. Yeah. I get it. Well, no, I really appreciated that conversation because I just hate to see all of this, you know, government sniping. But you guys made a lot of sense. I appreciate it. The truth, says M29, the Kavanaugh hearing, Tennessee 3, all left-wing insurrections. They need to be held accountable.

What was the Tennessee 3, all left-wing insurrections, they need to be held accountable. What was the Tennessee 3? The Tennessee 3 is the guys in the statehouse who were opposed to... They were like, it was about trans. They really want there to be child sex changes in Tennessee.

They were standing up for that. There was all that stuff with Audrey Hale, the trans shooter. The Tennessee 3 were like the they were standing up for that. And then there was all of that stuff with Audrey Hale, you know, the trans shooter. Oh, right. But the Tennessee Three were like the state reps and it was all about that stuff. Oh, right, right, right, right, right. I remember that. Oh, and there were guns and then they were like bring your, all you leftists

bring your guns to the state house to defend. And they got kicked out of the state, but then they were all back. Except I think the white lady didn't go back. Do I have that right? Anyway. Insert name here says, did you hear BuzzFeed sold Hot Ones to Soros? I did. Is that a big deal or something?

I don't know. I don't listen to that. What is Hot Ones? They do a podcast while eating chicken wings? It's a podcast that Kamala Harris' campaign reached out to, and they wanted to be on the show, and Hot Ones were like, we don't do politics. That was the first time I ever heard of Hot Ones. And I still haven't listened to it.

It's something to do with hot sauce? I thought it was a sex thing. No, it's hot sauce. They have a bunch of different hot sauce. And I think they just like eat spicy wings or something. While they're doing the show? Yeah, someone on Google. I thought it was like a relationship thing.

I thought it was a hot sauce thing. I have no idea. I don't know. Someone will post in the chat. They do have a hot sauce thing. I have no idea. I don't know. Someone will post in the chat. They do have a hot sauce. You got it. Yeah. What are they eating?

Like chicken wings or something? I don't know. We were going to do something for the boonies where we play a game of skate, and every time you miss a trick, you got to shoot an increasingly hotter hot sauce. So we'll get like a shot glass and then start with- Oh, my son likes your hot sauce. He tried it. We brought it.

Well, it's not mine. I mean- Whatever it is, it has- Yeah. It's got my name on with. Oh, my son likes your hot sauce. He tried it. We brought it. Well, it's not mine. I mean. Whatever it is, it has. Yeah. It's got my name on it. It was made by Sticker Mule. If it's got your name on it, may as well be yours. Well, Sticker Mule made it and they brought it to us and they said this could be all yours.

And I was like, okay, that's cool. I guess. Did you see they're turning their giant Trump sign into a tourist attraction in Amsterdam, New York? Wow. Yeah. And the head of Sticker Mule is running for Elise Stefanik's seat. Anthony Constant York. Wow. Yeah. And the head of Sticker Mule is running for Elise Stefanik's seat.

Anthony Constantino. Nice. Rule of Stars has leftist indoctrination taught by what? How did Sargon see this coming 10 years ago? Well, it was coming 10 years ago. Anyone who was in grad school 15 years ago saw this coming also.

I smelled it in 2006. Yeah, when I was in grad school, like whenever that was 15 years ago saw this coming also. I smelled it in 2006. Yeah, when I was in grad school, like whenever that was 15 years ago, it was very clearly happening. Wild. All right. Colin Henrick says, Libby, you need to understand

that this let it go attitude towards government criminality, leftist violence and chaos will result in more brutal abuse. These people would not think twice about making your son an orphan or worse. Remember that. Oh, that's, that's...

Dark. That's dark, man. Well, they did it to Brian Thompson. Yeah, they did. But I don't run an insurance company. What joke is that? Although I recently have been reminded of Theo Van Gogh. What was the...

Oh, it was a Simpsons joke where Drederick Tatum's like, he's like, I'm going to make orphans of Simps Gogh. What was the, oh, it was a Simpsons joke where Drederick Tatum's like, he's like, I'm going to make orphans of Simpsons children. And then the reporter's like, I believe they have a mother. And he goes, yes,

but I assume she'll die of grief. Simpsons. Richie's listening. He loves a Simpsons reference. Seamus too. Richie Jackson and Seamus Coughlin know every line to every Simpsons episode ever

for some reason. Every single one? I mean, to be fair, so do I. I know a bunch of them. It's pretty bad when we're in the car and Richie's there. And then it's just like, there's going to be a Simpsons reference. But only up to season nine or ten. So I says to Mabel, I says.

Yeah. Yeah. If it's brown, drink it down. If it's black, send it back. Where'd you get five bucks? I want five bucks. Well, money can be exchanged for goods and services. Ill Will says, Phil, did you watch episode 116 of the Sean Ryan Show?

New Sarah Adams episode out now. Please watch. No, but I'll check it out. Cool. That guy's great. He is. Zachary Ross says, I am in Greenville SC. A Chevy Express-sized drone flew above my house.

It couldn't have been more than 200 feet in the air. What is going on? Chevy Express-sized? That's big. Yeah, these are the size of SUVs. And they were saying on the news they may be manned. So they're not even drones. They're just weird little-

Yeah, they're like just quad-rotor personal aircraft flying all over the place. Whose are they? Well, I'll tell you this. The funny thing is, what if it turns out this is just like an amusement company legally flying drone rides? They're not drone rides, but quad rotor rides. But if they are, wouldn't we be able to? No, legally. It's legal.

They came out already and said there's nothing unlawful about whatever it is they're doing. It's legal airspace. I see. So they were like, I don't know. By the castle, gyrocopters fly around all the time. You can see him like, I don't know, a couple like in the summer, just nonstop every day. They shoot across the river at low, like super low altitude. They're like because the castle is elevated and standing on the top, like in the parking lot.

You're looking downhill and we'll see gyrocopters flying lower than we're standing along the river. It happens all the time. So we've got these big things flying around in the air and everyone's like, what is going on? What are these things? And everyone's freaking out. What if a company just launched legal quad rotor licensed

flights? I suppose if that was the case, though, as soon as someone asked the question, the company would say, guys, it's us. It's a family adventure thing. It's totally legal and safe and insured. Please don't shoot us down. Right. Yeah. It's pretty weird that they're like, we have no idea. Like, why don't

you just follow them? I don't understand. Just follow one. Follow one. Is that what it is? No. Just follow one of the drones to the lands. SkyDrive to introduce SkyDrive EVTOL to South Carolina. It would be funny if they're just like drone

transport. It's just like Walmart's got drones. You guys see that story? A guy had a Walmart drone flying above his house and he shot at it. That was great. That was great. Yeah, don't fire guns into the air because bolts come down. Right? And look, I... And then he joked, when they cuffed him,

they put cuffs on his hands in front of him. He goes, I can't breathe, I can't breathe. He was like 70-something. He's like, I don't care. Do you remember when there was that little robot drone or whatever that was trying to get across the country and it got to Philadelphia? Oh, yeah.

And they destroyed it. Philadelphia just likes to beat the... They just destroy it for no reason. Yeah. Well, that's not... No. Not for no reason. Because it was in Philly. That's a reason. We got to do something about drones, man.

We were at the castle and a quad rotor was flying over the castle and I'm like, yeah, okay, that's a major security threat. And we called the police immediately because of the swattings. Drones can carry explosives. So when I see a drone, I ask like, what can we do? And they're like, nothing.

And I'm like, I'm gonna go ahead and assume this is a threat of my life because of the bomb threats and the swattings if I see a drone, because we know our neighbors and they're not doing this. Someone from a few miles out was flying a drone towards our house and they said it is a federal crime to take out an aircraft.

And I was like, damn, so there's literally nothing you can do. I'm like, I'm not going to shoot. That's nuts. Bolts come down. And I was like, but we can't do anything. Nope. Nothing. How low could they go?

How low, how close to your house can they get? It was probably, it was probably 30 feet in the air. What if you could grab it? If I could grab it, I would grab it. Yeah. Because I'm going to be like, it's coming right for me. I don't know. Yeah.

But it was about 30 feet above the property filming everything we were doing. That can't be right. Wow. Yep. They have the legal right to be there. They have no legal right to do it, but what can you do about it? Well, you get your gun and... No, you definitely can't do that. Those bolts will come

down and kill somebody. So definitely don't do that, but there's nothing you can do. Not only is it a federal felony to even... I mean, it's like 17 felonies if you fire a gun in the air at a drone. A plethora of felonies. Then the bullet comes down and you add a few more to whoever you hurt. You can't do anything.

What about a net? Could you fire a net at it? No, it is a federal crime to take down an aircraft. But not even, even with not a bullet. Doesn't matter what you do. Downing an aircraft is a federal crime for any reason. And drones are considered FAA vehicles. Wow. Yep.

Well, the FAA should get something sorted about that. They absolutely should because we've had a lot of stories. He's the new FAA guy, haven't we? We've had a lot of stories of drones flying over people's homes. And the problem is you have no immediate response. Like we had drones and I said, OK, so we need to have a drone ready to go so that if the drone comes back, we can launch ours and chase it down and figure out where it came from and then call the police and say, here's the video of what this person is doing.

Someone should talk to Trump about that, because I don't. Has he the current FAA administrator stepped down? Well, I don't know. But the problem was the drone came by, we immediately came out and launched ours. It took off. It was gone. Before we could get in the air and do anything, it's gone already. And it came back three or four times and we were getting tons of complaints. Even our neighbor was complaining. They were like, yo, why is this flying over our property? And we were like, we can't call the police. The police are like, no, sorry. Some weird creepos can fly over your property and you can do nothing about it.

So you can't take out an aircraft, but it doesn't have to register a flight plan? Like those drones don't have to register a flight plan? But you have to be registered with the FAA for sure. You have to be a pilot. You have to be a pilot. If you have a drone. All drones require a pilot's license. Unless it's a line of sight.

I don't believe that's true. I believe you need a drone? All drones require a pilot's license. Unless it's a line of sight. I don't believe that's true. I believe you need a license no matter what. So you can't just go to Walmart and get a drone and fly a drone. You have to be a pilot. Pretty sure you need to get a pilot's license. Not for American-made ones. You can buy the DJI ones. Now, you're breaking the law if you do it.

Right. But the reason there's no American companies that make drones is because you have to go through all kinds of legal red tape, all kinds of— You need a remote pilot certification from the FAA to fly a drone in the United States. So what they've done is they've outsourced all of this to China. Or because of regulations, they've essentially allowed China to corner the market, right? And all of the drones that you can buy in the U.S. are all Chinese. You can use them. You're supposed to have a pilot license to use them,

but people do all the time. People buy them and use them without a pilot license all the time. And do we know how much airspace above your house or your property you own? Yeah, I think it's 400 feet. But you can't keep the drones out of that airspace, up to 400 feet? So they're illegally entering. You can't do anything about it? Nope.

Wow. I mean, so 10 years ago, 12 years ago, 13 years ago, wow, me and my friends, we had been hacking drones and modifying consumer grade drones for various uses. And we did the first ever live broadcast via drone over a protest at Occupy Wall Street. We did the first ever live broadcast in general when we just flew a drone down the hallway of our hotel and broadcast its video on the Internet to anybody who wanted to watch. It was like 240p, super low res and like 17 people maybe were watching. We don't know. It didn't matter. During Occupy, it was a bit bigger. It was a couple hundred, and we had it flying over a protest near the courthouse in New York City.

And I ended up getting asked to consult the government and universities. It was called the – I think it was the Northeastern Drone Coalition or something. They had me drive down to – I think it was North Carolina to help them select the first testing facility. And only one other person showed up. I got on a phone call with them and I was like, guys, they said, like, what do we need to know about drones? What do you think is going to happen? And I said, someone's going to put a bomb on this. And what do you do? And they were like, what do we do? And I was like, you can't do anything.

Literally nothing you can do. We got drones, the size of SUVs flying over New Jersey and everyone's just shrugging at each other. Yeah, that's a weird thing that's going on.
