And we're now learning a little bit more about what happened behind the scenes with why Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air. And it appears it's not so much that he made fun of Charlie Kirk. Initially, it's been reported that executives were actually behind him and said they weren't going to take him off the air. That what he said,
Starting point is 00:01:27 was actually fun until it now seems Jimmy Kimmel said he was going to double down with an even more offensive monologue, controversial monologue. And perhaps then is when they said, okay, Jimmy, now we're going to have to stop you. The funny thing is Democrats are apoplectic. Liberals are freaking out. They are more concerned over the cancellation of a comedian they did not watch than the life of Charlie Kirk. So spare me. When y'all come out, scream as if the apocalypse just happened because Roseanne would like to have a word here. You know, they took her down over a joke and Jimmy Kimmel mocked her and Brian Stelter mocked her and basically all the liberals made fun of her and Megan Kelly and Tucker Carlson and cheered for it.
Starting point is 00:02:13 So why should we actually care? Now, the FCC's Brendan Carr says he's actually not done. More is going to come. So we're going to talk about that. Plus, there's a lot to breakdown in the story. It's basically dominating the coverage we have tonight. although there is still some other big news. A congressional staffer in Texas for a Republican was found immolated, and they're saying
Starting point is 00:02:34 no foul play, but the story is very strange because I'm not sure how someone is accidentally immolated. It's just something you don't see every day. And so we're going to read into that. And then there was a threat made against the governor of New Hampshire. It is strange and it is terrifying that this news keeps happening. But we'll keep it to the comedy world and the free speech argument. Before we get said to my friends, we've got a great sponsor for you.

Starting point is 00:05:20 Okay. I'm glad to be with you tonight. Who are you? What are you? What do you? I am from Virginia. I'm the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor this year. And it's been a hell of a ride the last several months. Voting starts tomorrow in Virginia. It's 45 days of voting all the way to November 4th. And this is the sequel to the Republican sweep four years ago that brought in Glenn Yonkin and wins some Sears and Jason Biaris. And Glenn cannot run again. You know, you can only serve one term as Governor Virginia.
Starting point is 00:05:51 So now we've got a new lineup, Winsome Sears, is running for governor against the former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat. I'm running against a lady named Gazala Hashmi, who is a current senator in Virginia. And the Jason Mioris is trying to get reelected as Attorney General against the guy. He's 36 years old. He's never prosecuted a case named Jay Jones. Pretty left-wing guy. So it should be very clear between the two sets of candidates, and maybe it will be.
Starting point is 00:06:21 We'll see, you know, how Virginians approach this. I think we're winning. I mean, across the board and every facet, so I think you're probably going to do well, but let's not, it's knock on wood. And we'll see what goes. We'll have a conversation about it. Thanks for joining. Yeah, thank you. Elad's hanging out.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Good evening, everybody. I am Alad Eliahu, the White House correspondent here at Timcast. Mr. Reed, thanks for joining us, especially ahead of early voting. Hopefully we can get into your race a little bit sometime on the show. Mary, it's good to see you as well. Hi, everyone. My name is Mary Morgan, and you can usually find me on pop culture crisis here at Timcast. Glad to be back.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Hello, everybody. My name is Philibonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Let's get into it. Here's the story from Mediite. Kimmel was reportedly about to give controversial monologue when he was suspended. Quote, he has to take down the temperature.
Starting point is 00:07:12 So there's been a couple different. additions to this story. Yesterday, in the middle of the show, we learned that he was not planning on apologizing. Take a look at this. When asked by the Hollywood reporter, the source said Kimmel was not planning on apologizing, he felt that what he said did not require an apology. Media reports, according to CNN, which spoke to an unnamed source familiar with the situation, Kimmel was preparing to deliver a monologue on Wednesday evening, addressing the backlash he had received for another monologue that week about the murder of Charlie Kirk. The Wednesday monologue was described by CNN source as very hot and would have reportedly targeted President
Starting point is 00:07:47 Trump's Maga Base. Quote, if Jimmy went on the air, there would have been no way back from that monologue for Jimmy. We didn't want that. Everyone deeply values him and wants him to come back, but he has to take down the temperature. After publishing the sources, quote, Thursday, CNN stealth edited its article removing the first half. This is crazy, right? Everyone deeply values him and wants him to come back, but he has to take down the temperature. The decision To suspend Kimmel's show was reportedly made by Disney CEO Bob Eiger and Disney's co-chair Dana Walden in hopes of protecting Kimmel and the Disney brand from accelerating the controversy. The author of the article, CNN Entertainment correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister, previously suggested on Wednesday that it was unlikely Jimmy Kimmel Live would return to television anytime soon. So now we have a very clear picture.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Jimmy Kimmel is not sorry. He does not want to apologize. In fact, he wanted to go further with it, and they described it as very hot. And let's just say it. The executives at Disney were scared. He was going to inflame tensions. And you know what I think? I said this yesterday, that these executives, the reason why they're basically shutting down these employees that are praising the death of Charlie Kirk, calling for more or fanning the flames, is they're next.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Nobody wants to be in the crosshairs. And if you're a media executive at a time when you've got two sides blaming the media, their editors probably sit down and shut up. Jimmy Kimmel said, no, no, I'm going to double down. And so this is crazy because the initial reporting was that they were behind him. And they said, you know what? You don't got to say anything. Jimmy, your monologue was fine.
Starting point is 00:09:25 And then apparently he said, no, I'm going to make it even worse. So they pulled him for his own good. This is the rage cult. This is the death cult. They are more angry about Jimmy Kimmel losing his show, the fact, Roseanne, Megan Kelly, Tucker Carlson also got pulled off the ear. They're more concerned about that than the assassination of a
Starting point is 00:09:44 young man in front of his wife and children. This is where we are as a country. Now he issued a statement and I'll give him some credit for it. He said instead of the angry finger pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? I'm going to pause right there and say, thank you, Jimmy. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:10:00 That is absolutely horrible. And then he goes on to say, on behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirk's and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence. The back half is where he deflects from the actual issue at hand. His inflaming of political tensions, the overt political killing of a young man in front of his family in broad daylight and cold blood to make it about gun control, which wasn't the issue. This man has no remorse and no shame. And what is worrying to me is none of these other liberals do as well.
Starting point is 00:10:39 If the report is true and then he did have a more inflammatory monologue planned, maybe it was actually the responsible thing to do to take him off the air. I mean, look, as far as like principles go, he shouldn't have been, but he should have been taken off the air. But again, let me finish. But the point, but the fact that, but the fact that, but the fact that the left has been doing this to the right for a decade, I think that kind of puts us
Starting point is 00:11:11 in a position where that kind of, that kind of principled stance has proven to be useless nowadays. I'm still not clear on what principles you're... Principle of free speech. So like if you're... I don't think this has violated
Starting point is 00:11:25 a principle of free speech at all. Why? Well, because in order to have freedom of speech, you do have to have ground rules and he's not following. them in order to have a market place of ideas in order to have a free marketplace of ideas there need to be basic ground rules and the people engaging in dialogue with each other at least have to have certain basic foundations in common and one of them is being on the same page about
Starting point is 00:11:53 the morality of an action like senseless cold-blooded murder if we don't have that then we need to set about hey this is dan harris host of the 10% happier podcast. I'm here to tell you about a new series we're running this September on 10% happier. The goal is to help you do your life better. The series is called reset. It's all about hitting the reset button in many of the most crucial areas of your life. Each week will tackle a topic like how to reset your nervous system, how to reset your relationships, how to reset your career. We're going to bring on top-notch scientists and world-class meditation teachers to give you deep insights and actionable advice. It's all delivered with our trademark blend
Starting point is 00:12:32 of skepticism, humor, credibility, and practicality, 10% a half here is self-help for smart people. Come join the party. Creating an environment of order rather than of freedom. I agree not entirely, but enough. And what I would say to this is the reason why I don't care about Jimmy Kimmel getting fired is largely for what you were describing and that we do not have a shared moral worldview. Jimmy Kimmel is a willful liar for the purpose of creating problems, fear, pain, and suffering, and we every day try to shine a light on what's going on. My attitude is the people should have the knowledge to the best of our abilities to convey
Starting point is 00:13:12 so they can make the decisions for themselves. I want nothing more than to leave you alone, mind my own business, but hope that you with correct information will do good. We'll do well. Jimmy Kimmel is the inverse where he says, I'm going to lie to you so you do what I want, and that leads to death. If I were a Disney executive, I would say, what am I paying you for? It's a comedy show.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Where's the comedy here? This is not funny. You're not a talk show host. I mean, maybe they're different parameters if you're doing a hardcore, free-for-all talk show. This is an evening comedy show that presumably adults watch right before they fall asleep at night. And I think that's been part of the problem. That's why these shows are losing their audience. They're hyper-political.
Starting point is 00:13:55 They're not funny. They're funny in a mean way. because they go after conservatives and the leftists think that's so great to watch people bitch slap conservatives verbally, and that's the appeal of the show. It's one reason I don't watch that stuff anymore, and I used to.
Starting point is 00:14:12 To your point, like, I think that's what I was getting to at, like, the second half of my comment, right? If you're going to talk about a principled stand, you're going to say, well, I have the principle of free speech, and I think that you should be able to say whatever you want just so long as it's not specifically inciting, that's the principled stance. But the follow-up to that, which I was saying, was basically in line with what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Like, we're in a situation where the ground rules aren't the same for everybody, and the left has been doing this. And you look at the way the left has been reacting. They're saying, oh, all these people, how come, you know, how come you were so pro-free speech before, but now you're not? It's like, the left wanted it this way. Real, real quick, just there's an alert that went out about 40 minutes ago right before he started the show. Unconfirmed reports of a gunman on UN. see Wilmington campus. They're advising everyone a shelter in place. So if you haven't heard that, please look into it. Hope everybody's okay. And based on the video I've seen, I don't know how
Starting point is 00:15:07 credible reports is. There's a video of a man walking, carrying some kind of long gun. But I don't know about how, this is North Carolina. Just because someone seen with a weapon doesn't mean anything happened yet, but please look into it and we'll take that seriously. and anyway, back to the point about free speech. Just want to make sure that, you know, people are safe. Yeah, I mean, I just don't think that, I don't think that this even is, again, I don't think that free speech is the issue at hand. People will try and make it about free speech,
Starting point is 00:15:40 but it really is about the inflammatory nature of the way that the left has been talking, talking about the right, and the results of that have been murder now. I just don't really care at all anymore. we believe in freedom of movement. We believe that individuals can move between states and cities and then violence breaks out and the police set up barriers saying nobody can cross and we have no problem with that, right? If there's a riot or shootings taking place and the police block the street with their car and they say, you can't go through here, we don't go, hey man, you're violating my right to.
Starting point is 00:16:15 We go extenuating circumstances. There are circumstances where we recognize rights will be infringed upon, I suppose, is one to describe it, but I don't know what else you do. And so my view is largely when they are killing people, when the death threats have reached to an extreme degree, when we are in a political environment where Charlie Kirk was assassinated and they celebrated it, there comes a point where you say, we have to be a little bit more serious about how we enforce the law than to just take the light approach. And the best example I can give is, whereas five years ago, if someone tweeted something like, oh, won't someone rid me of this Alad Eliahu, we would all say,
Starting point is 00:17:02 okay, like, we get the point. Today, if someone tweeted, oh, won't someone get rid of this a lot, Eliahu, I'd say that's a death threat and they should be charged for it. And the reason why is, I'll elaborate as well, I believe the context of the person's character and, and, uh, social feeds matter for this. So there was a video I recorded earlier on the Tim Poole channel. Check out Tim Poole show at Tim Poole and subscribe. Michael Knowles was talking about why we should prosecute Destiny and Hassan Piker. Literal criminal prosecution for the statements they've made.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I don't know about destiny. Destiny said if you wanted Charlie Kirk to be alive, Trump should not have been president in second term. And he also said that conservatives should be made to fear, should have to fear death or something that effect, which can only be done when conservatives are being killed. However, Hassan sent a photo, this is my understanding from Michael knows his video, a photo of a makeshift weapon that was used to assassinate a political leader to a politician. Now, again, that's my understanding from the video. If that wasn't the case, whatever, I'm using to illustrate a point. If someone has a
Starting point is 00:18:10 history of saying things like, let the streets run red with their blood, kill them, like Hassan has, and then in the event, he sends a photo of a makeshift weapon that was using an assassination. The intent is clear. However, if there is a mechanic who, MythBusters, right? If one of the MythBusters guys sent a picture of this weapon to somebody, we'd be like, what's he trying to say by that? I don't think the MythBusters guy is threatening me with death. And he does, in context, talk about makeshift devices and things like that.
Starting point is 00:18:41 So the context there is different. In the past, we have seen what I refer to as the Tweedled-D-Tweedledum death threat. where one person would say, you know, we really should be rid of these priests, and then someone pointed a lot and say, that's the priest. You know what they're doing. Each individual statement is not a death threat. Together, it is, but you can't prosecute either of them. I say, now we should.
Starting point is 00:19:02 The half statement counts. If you are standing next to somebody and you say, go kill Nazis, and the person says, they're the Nazi, you're both under arrest because you both issued a death threat. And I'm done playing these stupid games. So when people are like, the free speech of Jimmy Kim, no, I'm not playing this game anymore. he first of all nobody watches his show anyway his ratings were collapsing but to go on tv and lie and this is this is evil we are fighting people who are trying to get us killed there are people who are posting lists online and i've said this the past several nights the past week because it's happening
Starting point is 00:19:35 we're submitting this to the fbi where they're saying kill these people next they're saying or it's more a vague than that they're saying hey you should do this next and it's a list of people's names like mine, Ben Shapiro, Candice, his own, whatever. So when Jimmy Kimmel goes on his show, while Democrats are all celebrating this death, saying there should be more, justifying it, and then he goes,
Starting point is 00:19:57 the guy was a maga guy anyway. Now you've got a problem of a critical mass of people who are going to start more murders, more riots, and I have zero sympathy for Jimmy Kim. I literally don't care. I literally don't. And on top of that,
Starting point is 00:20:13 while I do agree with the idea of freeze speech if you want to make jokes. I'm drawing the line at what Jimmy Kimmel did for mocking Trump. That's fine. He wants to make fun of Trump. He can be a dick. Lying about the intent of a mass shooter to inflame an audience and potentially lead this country to serious conflict and crisis is nuts. And I'll just say this. There is a fine line. What would happen? Let me ask you guys, if Jimmy Kimmel wanted his show and said, I think everybody should use violence to defy Donald Trump. What do you think would happen if he did that? He'd be taken off the air in two seconds.
Starting point is 00:20:46 He'd probably be criminal charge with sedition or something. He is doing one percent of that. It's admittedly very, very small. But I do not believe for a second that he did not know about the motive of the shooter. I don't believe that for a second. Which means any reasonable conclusion is that Jimmy Kimmel intentionally lied fanning the flames. And for what reason? Hatred?
Starting point is 00:21:11 What libel? What he spread was a blood libel against Trump supporters, Republicans, conservatives, whatever you want to put that group of people. It's an intentional lie. There's no way in his heart of hearts he actually thought, Tyler Robinson, yeah, he's a Trump supporter. Obviously, that's not the case. And I do think that it was a blood libel against Republicans or conservatives ostensibly encouraging people not in his face-to-face audience, but the larger audience. that watches him to take action against these dangerous people in our society.
Starting point is 00:21:48 And there was Charlie Kirk is one of them. There's no reason for him not to have come on the show and says, I really don't get this. He could have gone on the show and said, so it turns out that this shooter may have actually had left-leaning values. Now, of course, we all reject that, don't we? They'd all clap and cheer.
Starting point is 00:22:07 He could have done that. They'd have cheered for him. And he would have said, we're not going to be blamed for the actions of a madman, but we will denounce this because we're good. He could have done that. He didn't. He said it was one of their own who did it.
Starting point is 00:22:17 And where the hammer comes down is when he said, according to this report from CNN, he was going to double down. So when they went to him and said, hey, guy, behind the scenes, it wasn't a mega guy. He said, I don't care. He said, I'm going to double down. Now, that is intent. He was trying to make things dangerous and worse in this country. There's a point. at which you can't yell fire in a crowded theater.
Starting point is 00:22:47 We say, many people wrongly state you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. You literally can. I think it's Brandenburg v. Ohio. You can. Nothing stopping from doing it. However, there's a circumstance where you can't yell fire. And what would that be? Let's just say there's 10 guys with rifles aimed at an innocent person and you yell fire.
Starting point is 00:23:09 it's a ridiculous analogy but my point is clear when the speech you normally say in and of itself has no bear imagine if you were standing in an empty field and a guy walks by and you yell fire the guy would go huh now imagine if you're standing with a bunch of men with guns and you'll fire the context is very very different if jimmy kimball's intent in context
Starting point is 00:23:29 is to ignite a throw a spark on a pile of tinder then i think we say enough and we don't let him do it i think they were looking for an excuse to get rid of him anyway as you pointed out, his ratings are lower than Stephen Colbert's even were before he got pulled. So, in a way, it was inevitable. Let's pull it up. We got this report from sky.com.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Kimmel fired for lack of talent. Trump says as Obama decries government coercion. Kimmel used his show on money to criticize Donald Trump for his response to the assassination of Kirk, among other things. Now, Trump's not wrong. The New York Post says Jimmy Kimmel's ratings were plummeting before ABC suspended him for Charlie Kirk. comments. They say Nielsen data showed sharp summer declines and a year-long slide that leaves him trailing late-night rivals such as Fox News as Greg Gutfeld and Colbert. According to monthly Nielsen figures, Jimmy Kimmel Live dropped to just 1.1 million total viewers in August,
Starting point is 00:24:29 down 43% from January's 1.9 million. His August household rating 0.35 marked the weakest showing of the year. The advertiser, get this, get this. The advertiser coveted 18 to 49 demo also cratered. Kimmel averaged only 129,000 viewers in that bracket in August. Holy crap. Off from 212,000. Let me take this time to brag that while I was sick most of August and unable to work,
Starting point is 00:25:05 The show, hosted by Phil Labonte and with some special guests towards the end of the month, was still averaging around 500,000 in the key demo. And don't get me wrong, where network television used to be, that's small. That's very small. Jimmy Kimmel at 129,000 viewers, yo, I think I got a video of a cat on my Instagram that does better than that. That's not a joke. I literally, it's a video of a cat and it's looking like this. Kimmel's the joke.
Starting point is 00:25:31 And it says when it's already, when it's Tuesday, but you've already given it. it you're all and the cat's like just super tired and it plays that song from enya you know who can say and it's got like 500,000 views so I can post a cat meme and have a bigger show than Jimmy Kimmel that's why he got booted that's probably right it's a lousy show he's he's aging out of the key demo anyway I mean I think if you look his audience has moved on the new audience isn't interested in him and I mean you go back to Letterman letterman was hilarious and then Letterman got mean and nasty and became hyper-political, which nobody really needs to see on this type of program. And I think it's one of the reasons that people are abandoning Network TV
Starting point is 00:26:19 in general. It's kind of crazy. He loves crying on the show, doesn't he? He's really the worst when it comes to the emotional output. This is the one gun incident that he hadn't cried. He is psychologically unstable. Needs help. That much can not be denied. He has cried on camera way too many times. I think he like gets a thrill out of like forcing people to witness his vulnerability. So that's like the first reason why he in my opinion is the worst of the late night hosts. If a big liberal had been shot, but also because of who he used to be. And I'm not shaming or saying that he should have remorse or regrets over the man show. but it's really disturbing
Starting point is 00:27:05 that Jimmy Kimmel then can be the same man as Jimmy Kimmel now. That doesn't make sense to me. It's not supposed to be sense. He wants us to just forget about who he was in the 2000s. When other people are not allowed to turn the page in their lives, they get completely cancelled
Starting point is 00:27:23 no new opportunity to reinvent themselves. That's what would have been a cancellation. If someone went and clip farmed from the man show posted a thread on X and everyone's up in arms about how he was such a chauvinist and then people are calling for his show to get old, right? That would be cancel culture. People have done it, but it doesn't impact the left. He didn't get canceled for doing blackface. He doesn't do it. Don't make us pull up the photos.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Neither of us want that because he's on the left. I think the crying on camera too is a virtue signal to offals because they love that. If you want to get like rich, affluent, white liberal women, they love it when you cry for them. I think that's what that's a virtue signal for. like a sadism thing, like they like seeing and pain. They like making men cry. They like derive pleasure from trying to make weak men cry. I think Bob Eiger here is not letting a good crisis, a good crisis, a good crisis go to waste. So while it's convenient, he's getting great of Kimmel, the medium is dying. Late night shows are dying. But I don't think they're going to get rid of that. That's another thing. They're going to just give him an
Starting point is 00:28:24 on-ramp to come back. They're already hinting at it now that they want it to be possible to bring back the Jimmy Kim alive. He's going to go to- The Wall Street Journal has this story. Basically, it was advertisers. It wasn't just Next Star and Sinclair. Advertisers had called who had already purchased slots. And let me tell you guys, last week when the tragic news broke and we were all kind of suffering through this, not like we had it worse compared to the family or those who actually were there and had to deal with it, don't get me wrong. I was asked, hey, are we going to do ad reads?
Starting point is 00:29:00 and I was like, no way. And it's like, listen, tonight we have very, very awful news to report about someone we knew and the nightmare that is emerging in this country. So from that day, the rest of the week, we did not do ad reads on IRL. But there's another reason, and it's important to say, I know maybe a lot of people don't want to talk about it, but what brand wants to be the brand sponsorship of the death of a beloved personality. So it was like when CNN ran that commercial from Chili's or whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Do you guys remember this? Yes. It was like air raid sirens going off in Ukraine and bombs were, like, but it dropped. And then all of a sudden it does a side by side where a guy's shaking his butt and singing about drinking beers or something. And everyone was like, this is the worst thing you could have ever done. Imagine being an advertiser who already bought ad space on Jimmy Kimmel's show. You hear him say this.
Starting point is 00:29:56 and you're going, get my ad off that show. So they all call ABC and say, do not run my ad on that man's show right now. I don't want to deal with the boycott. This is the lesson. This is the bud light effect. But if ABC was smart, they would have told him, hey, don't even talk about it. Give people a distraction from this horrible news. Run the show.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Be funny. They were smart. They were smart. Jimmy Kibble said no. Yeah, that's right. He was going to double down. That's right. He said he was going, the reporting is that he was.
Starting point is 00:30:26 going to attack Trump supporters again. And they were probably just like, okay, this man is unhinged. It sounds like, you know, I'm going to give you my personal opinion. I don't think the executives went, Jimmy, we don't think it anything wrong. So we think you should go on with your show. And then Jimmy goes, then I'm going to double down. Well, hold on there, Jimmy. We don't think that's a good idea. For your own good, we're going to stop your show. There's no way in the span of a couple hours. They politely and calmly said, your show won't be aired. Sorry, Jimmy. I I really doubt it. I think they probably said, do not do it. And he said, I'm going to do it. And they said, don't do it. He was, I'm going to do it anyway. And they said, Jimmy, I swear to God,
Starting point is 00:31:03 if you go out there and that's your intent, you will not do this show. And he said, I will not have you stop me. I'm willing to bet it was much more contentious. And Jimmy, listen, it's actually quite simple. The reporting says that they wanted to bring the temperature down. If Jimmy Kimmel came out with an apology, everything would have been fine. Jimmy Kimmel was going to double down and was refusing to apologize. That sounds to me like he argued with the executive saying, I refuse to apologize. So they said, then no more show for you. He probably didn't even have to apologize. He probably just had to do a comedy show without a lot of slamming Trump supporters. Seriously, that's all you have to do. I mean, do we have to infuse everything with politics.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I do politics. I did a talk show for eight years. It was all politics. People would call and say, why are you obsessed with politics? I'm like, it's a political talk show. I'm not doing a comedy show. If I'm doing a comedy show, then I've got a lot of other stuff I can go work from. I don't get it. If Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, or whoever, these set in Myers, if their comedy shows were actually just cultural comedy, you know who's really good at it? Ryan Long. Ryan Long's great at it. He'd have a million in the ratings.
Starting point is 00:32:12 He'd have one million in the key demo. You know how I know? You want to know how I know, guys? Because Kill Tony does. Because Kill Tony, every Monday night does his streaming against like one to two million views. viewers. And it's largely key demographic. Now, they talk about politics quite a bit, but to be fair, it's a stand-up show. It's not an over-a-talk show. But I am telling you, if you had Tony Hinchcliff hosting one of these late-night shows, and he was willing to dish it in any direction,
Starting point is 00:32:37 you'd have a million. I'd be watching it. Evenly. I wouldn't say evenly. I would say fairly. Yeah, it doesn't even have to be evenly. If they have a preference to have jokes about conservatives but they weren't always malicious about it and they had some jokes about uh democrats or or progressives or whatever i think that you'd see a lot less vitriol but it was a lot a significantly fewer amount of people that were so that are so upset about jimmy kimwell and the way that he behaves but it was always in one direction and it was always malicious there was it wasn't meant to be in fun there was no all we're all laughing here it was intended to be insults directed at one group of people the time. Can we just make things a little bit interesting? Well, we'll get that in a little bit
Starting point is 00:33:24 in a quick second. Sorry. Let me read a little bit more from this article. They say that Jimmy Kimmel's salary was reportedly $15 million to $16 million a year. With some outlets noting the bonuses can push his annual earnings above $20 million. How? Where's that money coming from? Now, let me just say, I run a business here at Timcast. I know all of our numbers where the money comes from, where the money goes. And based on the viewership that we get, which is much, much larger, we do all right. We do all right. But there's ain't no way anybody who works here is going to be getting $20 million a year. So I got questions. I got questions. To be fair, a million in the ratings per night, depending on who you're selling to, boomers got a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Most of those viewers are boomers. And his key demo ratings are no good. The scary reality here, I guess is that the key demo ain't a key demo no more. 18 to 49 year olds ain't got any money. So if you want to sell the product, then you want to see that actually land, you really do want to be targeting 60-year-olds because boomers are only one with any real capital.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Also, as you've pointed out, there are less of the 18 to 29-year-olds in general. Exactly. The boomers are just less of them to go around. And his salary is not even to mention the
Starting point is 00:34:39 salaries of all these people working on his show, which is probably, it might be around a hundred people total, I don't know, maybe hundreds. If we get, if we get to the administrative bloat territory, it's probably hundreds of people whose livelihoods depend on this show, and Jimmy Kimmel just covered that in gasoline and through the match. I want to jump to the story from The Daily Beast and start by saying, Jimmy Fallon cancels appearance after Kimmel's show gets cut. We won. congratulations uh winning now does not mean winning forever you may uh you may invade and conquer great lands and one day those lands may be conquered back but when jimmy phallin cancels an
Starting point is 00:35:24 appearance after kimmel's show gets cut that means i'm going to give you my my opinion on this one it's all opinion because we don't actually know what happened he was supposed to do some event and he canceled it it sounds like a bc had an emergency meeting it sounds like these networks had an emergency meeting and said all hands on deck, we got to discuss what you are doing on your shows. And I think what we're likely going to start seeing is these late night shows drop the political games. We got this from NBC News, FCC chair, CNBC, sorry. FCC Chair Carr says we are not done yet after Jimmy Kimmel suspension. I bet all these networks just said, we cannot go to war with the government. So shut.
Starting point is 00:36:09 your mouths. And I say, okay. I know the left is going to be like, but free speech, it's so chilling when the government is doing. The FCC has always existed, has always regulated what network television can do with their access to the airwaves,
Starting point is 00:36:25 and it is not the same thing as say, look, Jimmy Kimmel, start a YouTube channel, buddy, be like Don Lemon, and nobody's stopping you. But if you want access to the public airwaves, you are regulated by the FCC, and I ain't crying about it.
Starting point is 00:36:38 And there used to be a general consensus about what was acceptable and what wasn't. They were outliers. I mean, I remember when Howard Stern was perceived as like totally outrageous, crazy. You know, we've got to shut him down. They tried to bring him to Richmond and all the conservatives in Richmond freaked out and he actually didn't survive in Richmond. But he was an outlier. Now you look at it and you think there isn't a general consensus about what's acceptable. And the difference between broadcast TV, broadcast radio and everything else on the internet blurs that line. What people will accept is different today. The stuff that people regularly consume online would have, people would have had heart attacks and died 20 years ago. I think we're just in yet another situation where the left is writing fan fiction about what's happening that I wish were reality. And they're talking about how the government is chilling speech and they're the culprits behind all of this and then if you
Starting point is 00:37:40 actually look into the story the FCC at least according to the information we have now and according to what Brendan Carr has said the FCC was not the catalyst for any of this. It was the affiliate stations. It was from the bottom up. It was private companies and
Starting point is 00:37:56 they were private companies standing up to conglomerates. It had nothing to do with the government catalyzing this whole chain of events I do wish it were the government though I do continue wishing that like who Trump portrays himself to be in tweets and truth social posts
Starting point is 00:38:17 were a reality but he's not actually serious when he says like let's shut the people up we're giving me on fair coverage like I'm not serious I'm gonna make it real simple for everybody what is a government who wants to answer this one Phil what is a government
Starting point is 00:38:32 Well, I mean, it's an organization, at least in our country, that's voted on by the people in order to do certain basic things, in my opinion, the role of the government is to protect property rights, make sure that there's a military to protect borders and provide courts for redress of grievance. And as far as I'm concerned, that's about all that I think the government should be doing. All right. I mean, the general idea of government is controlling authority structure over a nation, its borders, and its people. And in the United States, I think you are largely correct as to how it operates. So I agree that's what a government should be. It should be a structure of the people for the purpose of protecting the rights of the people and ensuring that those rights aren't infringed upon, ensuring protection from external forces,
Starting point is 00:39:24 in which case, my view on all of this is very simple. As I've stated before, there are two different worlds occurring within the same country. This is a conversation that has been had for almost seven or eight years now, and it's a conversation I did not bring up. Many individuals and academics have pointed to the fact that there exist two different countries. Stephen Marsh, I cite quite regularly a smart man, despite being a liberal and we disagree. He has a smart guy on this matter, much more learned than I. And he said, there are two countries existing within the borders of the United States, a multicultural, democracy and a constitutional republic. And he said, I am of the multicultural democracy. And I said,
Starting point is 00:40:05 interesting, I am of the constitutional republic. In which case, the answer is quite clear. If my government drops a bomb on someone like Soleimani, I don't care. I mean, I prefer that he doesn't do it. I know Elad's over here nodding like, come on, let's go. I prefer that we do do it. My point is, when the U.S. government engages in military actions for the betterment of the interests of the country, the only, the questions that I have are these justified as the appropriate use of force. I don't go, oh, heavens me, they murdered somebody. I say, this is war and military, right? Here's a better example. The social media platforms all say that advocating for violence is an immediately banable offense. However, if you went on your social media platforms and say Donald Trump was correct in dropping a
Starting point is 00:40:49 bomb on Soleimani and blowing them up, you would not be banned. Because even YouTube agrees The context of the terms of service and the cause for violence only applies within a nation. Now, we are not yet at the point where I would say we have a manifest to different distinct countries by which that rule would apply internally. As it would apply to the FCC, that's exactly how I feel. So when they come to me and they say, but Tim, free speech. And I'll say, sure, and I don't really grant freedom of movement to terrorists in Iraq or Afghanistan. I don't think the OS should be there, but this is my point. You would not grant freedom of movement to Russians in Ukraine, despite not being anywhere near
Starting point is 00:41:30 there. My view is largely, we have a government of foreign by the people. It's us. They're not us. They seek to destroy us. They're an entirely separate system. They don't believe the same things we do. They don't believe in the same laws.
Starting point is 00:41:42 And they're willing to lie to steal power, cheat, and even kill someone like Charlie Kirk. When I see this government engaging in actions that is within the constant, institution, but is shutting down the illicit speech, and I mean like the threats of violence and all that. I'm not going to cry about it. I am not going to cry when Jimmy Kimmel gets his show taken off the air, even though I do agree with people having the right to free speech, because these people are trying to destroy us. And as they say, all is fair and love and war. If it's a culture war, then so be it. I am not going to reach my neck out and defend evil people. And so long as the Trump administration and the current government is protecting us as Americans. And I'm not
Starting point is 00:42:24 even playing that heritage American game. All Americans. Even people who immigrate here, I know may may not agree. Someone comes here right now. They literally just land on a plane and they've got a legal visa and they say, you know, in one year, you'll have finalized your citizenship and you'll be that person is protected as well. These liberals, the left, are advocating for non-citizens to cross the border and be constitutionally protected. That is a violation of our social contract. I am not going to protect those that do not exist in the same world as we do. My government is for us, the American people, and these people are clearly acting outside of that when they murder, lie, cheat, steal. And what did Jasmine Crockett say? Committing a crime doesn't make you a criminal.
Starting point is 00:43:04 That quote's going viral right now. So when you come to me and say, but Donald Trump is doing bad things to all of these people, I'll say they're not Americans, right? I'm sorry. And I'll stress, he's not even doing anything unconstitutional. So I'm not going to even normally, in a normal circumstance, if Trump, the FCC said, we're going to go after this show, whatever, I'd be like, we've got to be careful
Starting point is 00:43:27 about slippery slope. I ain't slippery slope in anything. These people aren't us. Jimmy Kimmel lying to the American people about the political leanings of a shooter to justify the murder of Charlie Kirk. There's no slippery slope defense or anything for me.
Starting point is 00:43:39 I'm going to say, oh, that sucks for you. And it's not even the FCC that did it. It was advertisers. So spare me your lies. I'm done playing your games. I want to defend you. And if Donald Trump goes and starts arresting Antifa, I'm going to be like, okay, they're terrorists. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I watched a guy in Black Block throw an explosive in an 80-year-old woman when I was in Berkeley seven years ago. And you mean to tell me that's protected speech? I'm not playing these games. Trump, go arrest all of them. And I ain't going to cry about it. And it's refreshing that people on the right are finally coming around to that realization, growing up a little bit and realizing that when you have power, you do need to wield it. it, especially if you want to keep it, and you don't want to be oppressed.
Starting point is 00:44:20 These people cannot be taken at face value. It's just the constant, you know, look at their hypocrisy. Look at the left's hypocrisy narrative. That discourse just has exhausted all of its value. It's not worth calling out their hypocrisy anymore. People on the right thought that this was all just going to shake out. Like, if we just stay cool, it's going to shake out. and I'm really tired of seeing decent people who do have some sort of standard and morals and
Starting point is 00:44:50 polite nature being played and having their good intentions used against them. And so at some point, without devolving into a nation that's at war with itself, I think we're close to that already, unfortunately. I mean, I'd like to be one of the people to try to stop that from happening on a regular basis, but we've got to send a message that we're not going to tolerate this. I told somebody the other day, don't complain about a young person who thinks it's okay to shoot someone over political disagreements when in Virginia, John Hinkley Jr., who shot Ronald Reagan, is walking around Colonial Williamsburg with no problem. I mean, we let him out. We said, oh, yeah, you were crazy
Starting point is 00:45:36 back in 1981. But, you know, time has gone by. We're going to let you walk around. I think that sends a signal. We're not serious about this. We don't really, if you could shoot the president and 30 years later, you're free to go play your guitar in the local bar in Williamsburg and nobody says anything about it, that sends a signal to everyone. Let's jump to the story from Mediite to exemplify the point. Fox News is Kennedy sounds the alarm over Kimmel suspension and warns Democrats could use precedent to target Fox. My response is, Kennedy, do you have amnesia? You work for a Fox business, I believe, and Tucker Carlson was kicked off the air.
Starting point is 00:46:18 All his advertisers were pulled. Megan Kelly got fired. I think she was what? Was it NBC she was working for in the morning show? Roseanne got fired over a joke. I do not understand this. She said, I do have an issue with some of the statements made by Brendan Carr. Because if there were an FCC commission on the other side of the political spectrum from someone maybe on this network and they didn't like their speech,
Starting point is 00:46:38 Would they put pressure on some of the advertisers? And if someone from Fox moved down to Fox broadcast to some of the own and operations there, that's the part of this that I do not like. So I made a list. It's not exhaustive. I'm going to read it for you. And I believe that Phil and all of you may be able to chime in. But let me just start with this.
Starting point is 00:46:55 I tweeted, liberals and Democrats used the government to push for censorship of their political rivals, arrested their political rivals, got prominent comedians and personalities fired from their jobs, advocated death for children. standing still in D.C. Remember that one? Falsely charged their political rival with fraud despite the alleged victims denying they were victimized.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Created special laws so people could sue and target their political rival. Created a network of false information to smear their rival as a traitor. Maliciously prosecuted the frontrunner for their rival parties in fake charges
Starting point is 00:47:28 with no underlying crimes. Arrested the political lawyers I'm sorry, arrested rival politician's lawyers for representing the politician. arrested teenagers for driving cars over sacred symbols, arrested people for burning their sacred flags, murdered Trump supporters,
Starting point is 00:47:46 and celebrated it, Aaron Danielson, Charlie Kirk, just two of the top of my head. There was also all of the people who died during the BLM riots. There was also the person who was shot in Provo, Utah. There's also, they made lists of the next targets to kill. Yeah. You know what? You get it. I say, we have learned.
Starting point is 00:48:05 There is no more, but we. when they take power. They killed Charlie. There's literally nowhere else they can go. If they win, we know what they're willing to do. And killing us is already something they've done. I mean, there was that program Arctic Frost that the FBI was using to target conservative. Oh, there's another one, including Charlie Kirk.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Just disclosed in the past couple days. This is not a situation where you can say, oh, well, if the right does it, then the left will it when they get in power. They're going to do it when they get back in power anyways. It's, it's, we are, we are literally living in a banana republic now. Don't, don't kid yourself. This is not like stuff that happens in South America with basket case governments. This is happening in the United States right now. So I don't want to hear, oh, well, the left's going to do it if, if they get back in power so you shouldn't do it. No, they're going to do it anyways. This is the reality of 2025. Let me, it's going to be worse than that. And I'll add another one.
Starting point is 00:49:05 They falsely accused independent media personalities of being paid money to spread Russian propaganda, despite the fact the content we produced in the culture war and the content Dave Rubin produced were often apolitical had nothing to do with politics at all. So in what way are Dave Rubin's reactions to funny viral videos like America's Funniesome Video in any way spreading propaganda? When the culture war show, you know what we're doing tomorrow? Exorcisms. Because the culture war is about culture, not politics. Sometimes politics is involved, but typically it's not. And they lied. And a month after they announced that case, they dropped it, they dropped it.
Starting point is 00:49:39 And this was in December under Biden. It was fake the whole time. And then in April, they totally just basically killed the case, Lauren Chen is his statement about it. Now, that one's personal. And I have no problem adding it to the mix because I believe it was totally fake from the get-go. And that's, so for those that don't know the story, in December of last year, I was begging my lawyers to get them to it to push this through and go public as heavy as they can. and we were instructed by the feds they no longer had any interest in the case and it was basically over and I received my final bill my final invoice and I said I'm not no no no I said what can I do to keep
Starting point is 00:50:13 this going so you can't the DOJ issued the indictment they have no evidence they've dropped it so what was this thing what they are going to do if they win is so much worse than just this stupid idea of but maybe they'll censor you already did that and not only did they already censor but Michael Reinal shot and killed Aaron Danielson. And you know what Crowder told me today, which is fascinating? When the economists put out that who's more responsible for political violence, that's not included as left-wing extremism. BLM riots, which resulted in around either 26 to 32 deaths, do not count as political deaths. They are lying. And so hearing this, I'm just so sick of this argument. If the Democrats win the midterms, Trump will be impeached, he will never get new,
Starting point is 00:51:00 there will never be legislation put three. as bad as Mike Johnson is that everyone complains about, Democrats will do substantially worse because Republicans aren't willing to. To be fair, I'm going to say this. There's another story that maybe we'll get to in a bit that 48 of Trump's, I believe it's 48 of Trump's appointees have been confirmed in a single vote,
Starting point is 00:51:19 which I don't think has ever, has it ever happened before? No. 48 political appointees got confirmed in a single swipe of a pen, 51 to 40, I think the vote was. With Trump saying he's going to name Antifa, a terrorist organization, with already criminal charges being sought among people like Letitia James and Adam Schiff, I would not be surprised if by next week we actually see arrests, political arrests. I would like to.
Starting point is 00:51:47 I mean, the pace at which we are seeing action this past week following the killing of Charlie Kirk, I think there's a couple ways to look at it. anyone who is advising Trump from from a lizard brain setting let me start by saying with all due respect to Charlie Kirk, a good man, an honorable man who fought, there is a political reality that people don't want to discuss. And I am telling you, I am sure behind the scenes, an advisor to Trump said, with the death of Charlie Kirk, you effectively have carte blanche. you can do whatever you want because they killed Charlie that is the cold
Starting point is 00:52:28 lizard reality of what just happened and I think when you see the moves that are being made Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled off the air people getting fired from their jobs the American people do not have the tolerance
Starting point is 00:52:39 for this degree of political violence and the liberals are arguing that Trump is exploiting this for the purpose of expanding the security or whatever is he's doing I think it's fair to say that there are advisors telling Trump, if you're going to do it, you've got to do it now. It's got to be. He's only got, he had 24 months. The clock is running. And that was the mistake of the first term, was slow rolling it. Oh, we'll get to it. We'll get to it later. And then you get annihilated in the midterms, which is predictable even in the best circumstance. I mean, he's got to take action. If there was stuff that he promised or if there are things that he fundamentally wants to do to change the way Washington operates, there's a very limited window.
Starting point is 00:53:19 And let's be honest. I'll get through my election in November. We'll start up again in January and then what, everybody gets cold feet by about April or May, because then every member of the Congress has to go out and campaign. And they don't want anything too controversial that'll screw up their race. So everything kind of stops in D.C. about April, maybe May of next year. Given the current political climate, do you fear for your safety at all as a Republican candidate? it. There's nothing new. What's happened with Charlie Kirk, because it made a lot of people pay attention. But the day I got the nomination, there was a guy, I was live streaming a press conference talking about my opponent, and there were people putting comments on the live stream, you deserve a bullet in your head. And I took it to the cops. They said, okay, we'll archive them. Nobody did anything about it. So I hate to admit this, but this is nothing new. Now, am I worried about it? This weekend, I'm going to be campaigning without security all over the state.
Starting point is 00:54:20 And I just, I'm six foot three. Normally people don't mess with me, but you're going to blow somebody away. That doesn't matter, yeah. So you went to the authorities and they were like, oh, yeah, we'll look into it. Well, what does this actually mean? And can we identify this person? That's why we also cannot rely on the authorities to take action on these things. And that's why I'm so glad that whoever these anonymous people are that started the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation,
Starting point is 00:54:45 are doing the important work of archiving this information. They're not doxing anyone. Nobody is advocating for cruelty to people on the left. I'm not saying kill that guy. Yeah, we don't want to meet their cruelty with cruelty. We just want justice. I just want to see people arrested so that way they're not a threat to society. Indeed.
Starting point is 00:55:06 People who are advocating or inciting violence should be charged for it. And my attitude right now is five years ago, if someone said, Oh, won't someone rid me of this priest? I'd say, yeah, yeah, we get it. Today, if someone says it, I say, charge him. Yeah. Andy, no. I brought him to Richmond to speak to this group that I founded, right? I knew it'd be somewhat controversial. We had it booked in a really nice private club. Antifa harassed the club. I mean, blew up the phone calls, scared them. We moved to a hotel. The same thing happened. We kept it secret until the day of the speech. Antifa went all over the hotel, made the front desk clerk's cry, said we're going to murder and slaughter
Starting point is 00:55:49 everybody who steps into the hotel. We got booted. We finally got Andy Noe in front of a crowd with, you know, like a one-hour notice of where it was going to be and had to have snipers in the parking lot. And there was a guy who was identified as posting minimally provocative stuff like a guy carrying a T&T box and he said, I'm on the way to blow up the Andy No event. they let that slide that the prosecutor in my home county let it slide for about a month and then dismiss the charges and I kept saying when are you going to make an example of people to say you can't with a wink and a nod act like this is okay to intimidate people you know that they're planning on protesting charlie's funeral oh disgusting but I'm sure yeah yeah it's disgusting but that will do horrible things for the left
Starting point is 00:56:41 because the optics of protesting a funeral of a man that was murdered is going to do more damage to the Democrat Party than Destiny did. Well, that's like Westboro Church. And you know what? If they had considered that, they would not have this. So I'll keep it light, but should they have considered that after this lunatic, liberal, shot and murdered Charlie, they would not have posted to social media celebrating the death, dancing on his grave. They don't care what you think. And I think the issue is, for the past 15 or so years, liberals ruled through fear and brute force. Most people don't agree that men are women or whatever or children could get sex changes. But they were terrified that if they said anything, they would not only get fired from their jobs, they could be beaten for it.
Starting point is 00:57:31 So they kept their mouths shut. And liberals and leftists with impunity could say whatever they wanted because they were willing to be violent and police wouldn't do anything about it. And they got used to it. And now... And the arrogance is out of control. And now, exactly. Now that Trump is in office and people are feeling more comfortable calling it out, they went on social media and celebrated and the backlash was intense. And now Jimmy Kimmel has lost his job.
Starting point is 00:57:57 And they're starting to learn we don't tolerate it. No one should have ever tolerated it. But finally, people are waking up saying no. And Donald Trump is more empowered now, not just him, but law enforcement to shut this down. A really great example. When that guy trampled the memorial, I think it was in Arizona, I'm not sure. And a couple of, a bunch of supporters of Charlie Kirk grabbed him. Grabbed him and threw him down five years ago, those guys would have been arrested.
Starting point is 00:58:23 You're right. They arrested the guy who trampled the memorial because the police know who butters their bread now. Yeah, good. That's the perfect example of how the tables have turned. The attitude has changed. Our side's not going to sit quiet. and I think the cops do realize who's on their side and who's not. And to your point about protesting Charlie's funeral doing damage to the left,
Starting point is 00:58:51 I would use the example of how the Westboro Baptist Church guys went and protested gay people who died of AIDS and interrupted funerals where a decent person would say, no matter what I think of you, no matter how much I dislike you or I have a problem with you, bury your dad, and we're not going to interrupt you. I mean, that's just kind of a decent way to live. Are you familiar with the Christmas truce, the famous World War I think it was? Right, right. On Christmas, they lay down their arms and they drank hot cocoa in tear, whatever,
Starting point is 00:59:23 and celebrated Christmas enemies, and then with honor, went back to the trenches. It's just so, it's crazy. And all that's been lost. That's what the left has done to this culture. People used to disagree. I mean, it probably wasn't as divergent. Well, we didn't have the divergent opinions as extreme as they are today, but at least people agreed on the way we generally treat each other. Like somebody, I mean, I wasn't around when Robert Kennedy was killed.
Starting point is 00:59:53 I went around when JFK was killed. I went around when MLK was killed. But I'm guessing that if you had something really nasty to say about any of those killings, you probably would have said it in your house privately and not. And maybe someone will prove me wrong and pull up the archives and they'll be able to prove that that's not true. Let's jump to this next story. Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump has accused Ilhan Omar of immigration fraud. Now, he didn't explicitly say he didn't take any action, but following this post on truth social, many people on acts are saying Trump has fired the first salvo in stripping her of citizenship and deporting her. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:00:32 We will see if it escalates at that point, but let me read what he said. Trump says, Ilhan Omar's country. of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central government control, persistent poverty, hunger, resurgent terrorism, piracy, decades of civil war, corruption, and pervasive violence. 70% of the population lives in extreme poverty and widespread food insecurity. Somalia is consistently ranked among the world's most corrupt countries, including bribery, embezzlement, and a dysfunctional government. All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America.
Starting point is 01:01:03 P.S., wasn't she the one that married her brother in order to gain citizenship. What scum we have in our country telling us what to do and how to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Make America great again. Now, I will highlight this article from the Minnesota Star Tribune. If it's not familiar, this is not a conservative newspaper. And they reported in 2019, new documents revisit questions about Rep Ilhan Omar's marriage history. Although she has legally corrected the discrepancy, she has declined to say anything about how or why it happened. New investigative documents released by a state agency, have given fresh life to lingering questions about the marital history of Rep Ilhan Omar
Starting point is 01:01:42 and whether she once married a man, possibly her own brother, to skirt immigration laws. She's denied these as baseless rumors, but even the Star Tribune says she possibly married her own brother. Why would Donald Trump make this post saying it's her country of Somalia? Didn't she skirt immigration laws? I think it's a reasonable assessment that Donald Trump may make a move to strip her of citizenship revoke and deport? Yeah, I mean, look, if it comes out, there should be an investigation
Starting point is 01:02:12 and if it comes out that she did violate the law, no one is above the law, she broke the law, send her back. I don't care that she's been elected. She has broken the law to attain citizenship, so. Let's put it like this. If
Starting point is 01:02:28 someone defrauds you and tricks their way into, you know, living in your basement, like they give you fake documents, or let's save a three flat. We'll just make it easier. And you're renting out the first floor as a single unit apartment. And they lie on all the documents so they can do it, claim they have a job when they don't. Should you be forced to just let them stay? Or should you say, hey, you defrauded me? I don't buy this argument that, you know, they would say like, well, it's pretty dangerous.
Starting point is 01:02:54 She was elected. So what? I agree with Phil. If it turns out she defrauded the U.S. government for immigration, then her election is void. That's it. Goodbye. You're not a citizen. You shouldn't, you weren't eligible to be a citizen. Well, I think in her instance, the way of Trump's framing it, the rumor, I should say the reporting, actually, is that she married her brother so her brother would be granted citizenship. I see. However, if she commits immigration fraud, that does subject her to revocation of her immigration status. That citizenship can be revoked if you are someone who is naturalized. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:30 How far are we going with this? Well, I mean, all the way? Yeah, I mean, look, if you've broken immigration law. you know it's like everything else you at some point you got to be tough on whether you're going to allow violence whether you're going to excuse murder whether you're going to allow people to break the law I mean the problem is we spent 30 years just letting things slide letting on immigration especially just letting everything go and now you've got chaos and Trump is back to try to restore some order to that and it's not it's never going to be nice it's like when the new
Starting point is 01:04:03 teacher arrives and the class has been out of control and the new teacher shows up and says, hell no, you're not going to act like this in my classroom. And everybody goes, wait, what, what? That's Trump. He's cracking the whip and saying we are not going to allow this anymore. I think that's probably a good thing for us. So I think it's worth mentioning that this truth is coming on the heels of a failed censure vote in the House that would have ultimately stripped Ilhan Omar of her House Committee assignments. So she had two different House Committee assignments. She had some comments about the death of Charlie Kirk and some people viewed it as justifying it. So Representative Nancy Mace brought forward that censure vote that failed by one vote as a result
Starting point is 01:04:45 of four Republican House members voting against it. So I mean, this is the reason why Republicans always lose because Corey Mills is sending out tweets justifying his vote to not censure Ilhan Omar saying, we may not like or agree with what someone says, but that does not mean we should deny their protected first amendment right. House Republicans are afraid to wield power. Ilhan Omar is one of the most disgusting members of the House and the fact that the Republicans weren't able to achieve this censure by one vote. Corey Mills is allegedly trying to avoid a censure of his own from the Democrats and this was kind of a quick pro quo trying to like save the skin off of his back for alleged improprieties that were coming his way. So like the sort of dirty politics is what helps
Starting point is 01:05:31 prevent, you know, these outrageous Democrats, these socialists far leftists in the House from being held to account. So I think Corey Mills has like something serious to answer for. He wasn't the only Republican, right? It was one of three other, there were four Republicans in total.
Starting point is 01:05:48 But here's the thing. Corey Mills is a Maga Firebrand who should be voting to censure his, Ilhan Omar. But he's using the cover of free speech in the most BS and manipulative way. The issue with this free speech conversation, too, that while Republicans and right-wingers
Starting point is 01:06:03 are principled in their free speech, left-wingers are just willing to use it against them. They're not truly against doxing or getting people fired from their jobs. They're just against it when the right is willing to use it against the left. And it's just so sad how weak these Republicans, some of these Republicans in the House are.
Starting point is 01:06:19 It seems whenever we get so close, well, it was only these four who really screwed up the vote. I could pull up the names, but it seems there is always a few that prevent them from getting this through. But he is the MAGA fire brand, right? Corey Mills from Florida. He is supposed to be the MAGA guy.
Starting point is 01:06:39 So it's Corey Mills, Mike Flood, Jeff Hurd, and Tom McClintock. Trash. So, you know, this is why Ilhan will continue to have committee assignments. A far-left Islamist in the House will continue to have her house assignments, her committee assignments because of Corey Mills. I'm confused. Yes? Why didn't Israel just get her removed?
Starting point is 01:07:00 I guess Israel's not given enough money. APEC's not doing its work. They just love their work cut out for them. What's going on, brother? That's why I'm here now lobbying against Corey Mills. It's full circle. Is that the best Israel have? They send somebody to go on Timcast, IRL to lobby.
Starting point is 01:07:14 That's not even like a great guest. And if anything ever happened to you, just like how all this stuff around Charlie Kirk that Candace has going on, if anything happened to you, immediately it'll be Israel's fault. That's why I have a picture of I lad looking around the corner staring at me in a creepy way. and it's set to publish the next week. And every week I update it.
Starting point is 01:07:33 That way, if anything does happen to me, it'll upload automatically. And then everyone will be like, wait, what? Thinking ahead. And did tell me if anything happened to him, I do get to inherit the show. And then we're changing it over to officially JuCast IRL.
Starting point is 01:07:44 It just won't be a joke anymore. But what the hell, Corey Mills? Well, if he's counting on them to uphold their agreeing. I mean, if your supposition is that there's a backroom deal to protect him, I wouldn't count on it. I would count it. These people do not honor agreements. And then there was also La Monica McIver or something from New Jersey where they were... In jail yet?
Starting point is 01:08:06 No, there was another deal there to prevent that censure from moving forward because of these such slim majorities in the house. You cannot exist as a nation when you cut political deals with people who break the law in this way. And we have done it for too long. And the argument is always, but we don't want to fight. And it goes back to what was it? It was it 1876 when our president was chosen by committee and not by election, which it was that ended reconstruction. Basically, the fear was the civil war was going to break out again. They couldn't figure out who was actually going to win.
Starting point is 01:08:40 And so they compromised. A committee came together and said, let's just decide who the president's going to be. Then we'll all agree on the fight, right? Okay. So in exchange for this person being president, we'll end reconstruction. And there we go. And from there, this is a country of, I know you broke the law. But if you agree not to come after me, I won't.
Starting point is 01:08:57 go after you. So at the highest level, you have DC a swamp full of swamp monsters breaking the law and cutting back room deals. You can't function this way. That Mick Ivers, she's the one who hit the cop, right? Punch the cop. Why isn't she in jail? She punched the cop. They're scared to prosecutor. Yeah. Well, that's when when regular people can watch a politician punch a cop and get away with it. They're going to say, I guess, I guess laws are off then, huh? Yeah. Then what do you think happens next? Well, I mean, more of the same, more of what we've already got. It's going to, it's going to intensify. I mean, I would love to see, I would love to see, you know, some reconciliation. I would love to see the temperature cool off, because I don't want to see a hot
Starting point is 01:09:40 civil war. But we've been taking steps towards that, you know, for the past at least five years, six years, you know, it's, it doesn't have to be a reconciliation. It just has to be an agreement that we're all going to obey the same laws. I can't go into, a museum that's hung a painting that I don't like that offends me and my Christian believes and throw red paint on it. And you can't go into the streets of Richmond, Virginia, and throw a rope around a Confederate statue that nobody voted to take down and drag it through the street just because you are offended by those statutes. I mean, maybe you have a reason to be offended. That's on you, but we have to obey the law. And that's completely out the window now.
Starting point is 01:10:24 I think that this period, which is devolving into Civil War, whatever happens, started probably with 2007, 2008. And you could make the argument that it's tied to the, what was the act that allowed the mixing of investments on brain finance when the dot or whatever it was? Oh, Dodd-Frank. Dodd-Frank, there you go. I was going to say Frank. Don't know. That's not right. Yeah, so some people argue like, that's what's, that's all policy stuff. 2007 was the ground level, the ground swell political moment where people snapped. And it created a network of global crises that have never been solved. Notably, I was supposed to have a kid in 2008.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Traditionally, I was about 22, 23 years old into 2009. That's the age at which people usually have kids. The financial crash happened and I couldn't afford to do anything so I didn't. And most millennials didn't because we had no jobs. We were living together as roommates. that's what we could afford. There was no prospect of growth. And we didn't even know it was a problem.
Starting point is 01:11:25 We didn't even know what's happening. Because to us, the way I've often explained it is I was already at the bottom. So when the market collapsed, I didn't go anywhere. What people, like what I and my cohorts didn't understand is that we were supposed to be growing in financial access, housing, et cetera, and then have kids around that time. Without kids, you get a bunch of angry, listless young men with no families, nothing to lose. You get a collapsing economy. you get political crisis after political crisis.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Then you got the Tea Party. You got Occupy Wall Street, which turned into Donald Trump, which turned into the Russia Gate era. If you go back to 2007, since then, it's pretty wild to think about. When I imagine what life was like in 2013-14, I don't know, I'm going to see Marvel movies, skateboarding, things don't seem that bad. But when you look back at a condensed history, the way we look at, say, the World War I and II era, the Civil War, the Revolutionary War,
Starting point is 01:12:20 war, the condensation of history makes it look pretty startling. In 2007, the global financial crisis hits. People lose their jobs. People's savings are wiped out. Young people don't get a start on life. This leads to anger over these bailouts for these big, ultra-rich fat cats and the people on the ground experienced what corruption led to. Then you get the Tea Party, angry that the representatives were not actually dealing with the problem. You get the Tea Party groundswell on the Republican side. Then you get Occupy Wall Street in 2011, where more urban-centered people were saying the exact same thing. Barack Obama was not solving these problems. He was giving big bailouts to banks and big companies and CEOs, and we got the shaft. We lost our houses. We paid the
Starting point is 01:13:05 bills. We faced inflation. Obama didn't solve the problem. He got reelected. He didn't solve the problem. What did we get? Nothing. So what happens? Trump begins to emerge. The sentiment that led to Donald Trump was bubbling up during Occupy Wall Street. A combination of cultural issues and populist outcry led to Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump and the machine state panicked. So they did whatever they did to Bernie Sanders, whatever that was.
Starting point is 01:13:32 And then Donald Trump wasn't supposed to win. He ended up winning. How did they respond? They accused him of being a traitor, claimed he was a traitor to this country, probably going back years and decades, and tried to put him in prison, tried to destroy his life,
Starting point is 01:13:45 put cemented his feet in his first administration so he could he couldn't really move and then you move into the next you move into the biden era you get arctic frost targeting conservative organizations and like don't get me wrong like you know you had obama going after tea party groups and other conservatives with the irs and things like that all of this stuff is a catastrophe bubbling up and escalating going back to around 2007 i don't i don't buy the arguments people make well well bush did this and no no no the machine state foreign war stuff was totally par for the course
Starting point is 01:14:18 for this country for the past 50, 60 years, the military industrial complex. 2007 is where things got weird. And it's also the time of social media. All of this is the collapse of our system. And it's come to this moment.
Starting point is 01:14:33 It's been getting worse. It's getting worse. And I don't see any of this turning around to be completely honest. I mean, I don't see it either. That's one of the things that we are constantly talking about. Where's the off-ramp? How do we fix this? and the more you know the more you you listen to people on you know on the left the more you realize that they don't want to like a week ago when charlie was killed that changed everything in this country because people saw like normal people and conservatives saw the vitriol about someone that was not actually a politician right he just was out there he was an activist but he was just out there
Starting point is 01:15:14 expressing his beliefs, and he was, you know, he was trying to discuss these things with people that disagreed. Here's a story for you guys from CBS News. 22-year-old man charged with threatening to kill New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayote. How do you pronounce that? Ayote. Yeah, Ayat. Ayat.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Ayat. You live there, not me. A yacht. A 22-year-old man is in custody after police say threatened to kill New Hampshire, Governor Kelly Ayat. Tristan Anderson of Hooksitt, New Hampshire, is charged with criminal threatening and harm or threats to certain government officials. The criminal complaint against Anderson released Thursday alleges that he didn't knowingly threaten to commit the crime of homicide and or assault against Governor Kelly Ayat, the current governor of the state of New Hampshire, for the purpose of influencing such officials' actions or in retaliation for action, taken as part of such government's official duties.
Starting point is 01:16:01 He was allegedly messaging with a win on Snapchat saying he was going to target the New Hampshire mayor, Kelly Ayat, with my weapon of mass destruction. He had also made anti-Semitic remarks in the messages as well. the woman told police that Anderson owned guns and that he had he had made mention of making pipe bombs. Anderson allegedly had shown them in metal tubes he was using to make the bombs as well as nuts and bolts he was going to put in them. Police said Anderson had allegedly bought fireworks and take them apart to create pipe bombs. He was arrested August 28th and he remains in custody without bail pending his next court appearance. Ayat is a Republican who previously Senator defeated the Democrat. They reached out to Iat's office for comment. His arrest happened
Starting point is 01:16:43 before the murder of Charlie Kirk, but it was revealed during a heated national debate about political violence. If every policy that is being promoted by your rivals is some kind of existential threat and a catastrophe in the end of the republic that further intensifies this kind of emotional stress, it sounds like what they are saying from this story is that this was a politically motivated death threat or threat against the governor because he did not like what she was doing. Yeah, I mean, what is happening that, yeah, Yesterday, several cops are shot. Ice agents are nearly getting run over and then shoot and kill the people.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Like, these stories are almost every single day now, if not every single day. And the scary thing is the desensitization to them. There's another story that I will attach to this one because we don't have the full details. Tommy Gonzales, I'm sorry, Tony Gonzalez staffer, death under investigation. Her body was on fire. I don't want to die, she told her mother who found her. They don't say what happened. They say they're not suspecting foul play, but it is currently under investigation.
Starting point is 01:17:47 So I am very curious how a Republican staffer was found immolated saying, I don't want to die. And they're like... That's very odd. Do you know who's running against him, by the way? Who is it? Brandon Herrera. Interesting. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 01:18:00 On the heels of this story, does that make you reconsider your security arrangements while campaigning? I think I don't have any option. I don't have any money, man. I guess if I could go higher. I've got a couple of guys who've said, I'll go out with you and, you know, shadow you and try to help you if something happens. I appreciate that. But it's, and who wants to live like that? I'm not running for president of the United States.
Starting point is 01:18:24 I'm running for lieutenant governor of Virginia. I shouldn't have to have 24-hour security. I should be able to get in the car like I did to come see you guys and not worry about it. I'm just not going to live that way, you know? And I'm going to be careful, but, I mean, it's crazy. And you know what the problem is? Yes, these stories are happening every day, but if you go back to 2020, people thought I was overreacting on my radio show. I was like, why are we not shutting this down?
Starting point is 01:18:52 We've got cops being ambushed and assassinated in Dallas, I think, when the BLM Antifa riots first started. We had the police in Richmond, Virginia, went into their precinct. Nobody even reported on it. They didn't even bother. They set the building on fire with the cops inside. People have not been prosecuted. the United Daughters of the Confederacy Museum and Library in Richmond. I mean, maybe you hate the Confederacy.
Starting point is 01:19:19 Maybe you hate those little old ladies or run the – I don't know. But that was firebombed. And no one has ever been arrested or prosecuted. What signal does that sentence? It says we don't care. It says it as a culture, we're willing to tolerate this. And we should hammer these people, regardless of whether they're on the right or the left. And we should also be honest that most of it is coming from the left.
Starting point is 01:19:41 Most of it is coming from the left. And so you have an entire generation of people who've been raised to think, if I personally get spun up about something and hate something or hate somebody, then it's okay to go after them. And that's on us as a society. And the leaders who've been in place who haven't had the guts because they were afraid they'd be called a racist or they'd be called a homophobic, or they were afraid of being called a name, they didn't stand up and hammer these bad guys. Now we're all suffering. I know you have a race coming up. I don't know if you wanted to touch on it a little bit. Early voting starts tomorrow. So why should people in Virginia vote for you? Well, what I just said, I think I'm one of the few people over the last several years,
Starting point is 01:20:23 who's in Virginia, at least, who's had the guts to say what needs to be said and not be worried about being called names. I've been called names my whole life. You're not going to upset me with that, and you're not going to back me down from that. And I think it, I mean, it's not like I'm proposing anything that's outrageous or unusual. It's called obey the law. And I don't think we have draconian crazy laws. In Virginia, certainly, and I don't even think of the United States, we have crazy law. Just obey the law.
Starting point is 01:20:51 And those laws are based on treating everybody with some basic level of respect, not harming the other person. We've lost it all. Let me ask. I understand no matter what happens in your race, people are going to view it as a bellwether about what's going on in the country. And people will have reminded the people in D.C. about that. Yeah, November 5th, whatever happens in Virginia and New Jersey will be discussed as a harbinger for what Trump's get. viewed as a referendum on the president. What do you think of the president? If you had to give him a grade, what would you give him on how he's governing? Well, you know, I've voted for Trump three times. I don't regret that. He's a controversial guy. I don't even argue with people when they want to bring up his personality. I'm like, I'm not debating his personality. I will discuss the policies. And I do think he's implementing policies that will put us, I pray to God, in a better situation. No one wants to talk about being $37 trillion in debt. I mean, look at Greece, look at Italy, look at other countries filled with smart people. They have had economic collapses that have burdened the citizens because they just didn't rein in their spending and their financial obligations. And I think Trump is the first person to step up and try to do that. Now, there's pain associated with it. It's a bad situation. It doesn't feel good. But I can't, nobody can run a government making everybody feel good. You have to make some tough decisions.
Starting point is 01:22:15 I know one of his biggest initiatives has been on immigration. He's quadrupled the funding towards ICE. Do you support what he's doing across the country? I think reaching for a million deportations a year of illegal aliens here. We all have to obey the law. We all have to obey the law. So if you're here, it's not like this just came up yesterday. We've been talking about it for a decade or more. When I worked in the Senate, 2004, 2005, 2006, we were talking about whether we could secure the southern border. For God's sake. No. one pulled it off until Trump arrived. Now, their consequence, I have friends who are here illegally, and I said, man, here's the name of a lawyer. He's a Democrat, not even a Republican.
Starting point is 01:22:56 He will help you get your paperwork straight. But if you sit around and don't do it, you're going to be booted out of the country. Do you understand that? And a lot of people blew me off and said, I don't think so. Everything's cool. No, it's not. You've got to obey the law. We all have to obey the law. I know your neighbors to the North in Maryland. They're having this issue with the so-called Maryland man that all the Democrats seem to be going to visit, Mr. Kilmar, Abrago Garcia. Have you heard about that case? People say Trump is overstepping there. Do you think the president was overstepping? It's not overstepping. It's not overstepping at all. Look, there should be one day where we say, are you documented? Have you taken care of the responsibilities you have?
Starting point is 01:23:32 And if the answer is no, I'm so sorry. I, you know, I'm a nice guy. I don't like to hurt people, but you're going to have to go. And when I lived in Kuwait, for God's sake, I was the head of international development for a firm. They put me in Kuwait. I think if I remember correctly, my visa was for 60 days, my work visa. You can bet I was out of there on day 58 because I wasn't going to let anybody in that country claim that I was missing the deadline. So I left on the 58th day and then stayed away for a week and then came back. That was my obligation. Look, everybody's going to obey the law. And if you've ever traveled around the world, you know that the rest of the world is not very nice about it.
Starting point is 01:24:12 One of the ways that you would be a trailblazer if elected is that you would be the first openly gay lieutenant governor, I believe across the country. Can you talk a little bit? Elected. I mean, a statewide elected official in Virginia and no Republican whose gay has ever been elected statewide, ever. Democrats have been doing it. Are Virginia Republicans ready for a gay lieutenant governor? I think they are ready for a solid conservative. conservative. And that's me. The fact that I'm gay is, I'm not going to lie to you. There's some people who are
Starting point is 01:24:47 upset about that, but I can't help them. I mean, I worked for Ronald Reagan. I was comms director for George Allen. I've spent the last eight years standing up for everything Christian conservatives are concerned about and believe in, most of which I completely correspond with. So I think a lot of people were skeptical when I first started running like, oh my God, we can't cross this line. And then they got to know me. They went back and listened to the 9,000 hours of broadcast time where I stood up for them and the things they believe in. And now they're like, well, damn, how crazy is it that there is a gay Republican who actually has the balls to stand up and say what needs to be said and to defend us and defend law and order? And I think that counts.
Starting point is 01:25:31 There are many gay Republicans, I think most prominently Scott Bessent. I feel like there is a non-insignificant minority in the Republican Party, though, who is question. the Obergefeld decision. How would you respond to somebody who, a Republican who says, I can't support you because of your sexuality? Have you come across that on the campaign? Oh, my gosh. There have been plenty of people who have said that. And I've said, well, you know, when it was the primary time, of course, at your vote, you get to decide whether I represent you well enough or not or whether I match you. I would ask them to actually search their soul as to whether they, have you ever voted for a
Starting point is 01:26:04 candidate that you thought was perfect? I mean, really, I voted for my dad nine times. And we didn't agree on everything. I didn't think he was perfect, but he represented me by and large the way I wanted him to. I made the argument that that was me in this case. And then now that I am the nominee, I have said to some people, well, now you've got two choices. You can go with the gay guy that you really don't like, but yeah, he's with you. Or you can vote for the radical leftist who's, you know, a Muslim and wants to put girls in jeopardy in their locker room and wants boys to play on girls' sports and voted to keep the schools closed for an extra year and the mask mandate.
Starting point is 01:26:48 I mean, she's everything you say you hate, but what, you can't vote for me, and I'm, I actually have stood up for you over there's a proven thing. It's not like a hypothetical. I mean, that's a moral dilemma that you have to make. I don't know. Let's jump to the story. We got video emerging from New York protesters. take the streets of Times Square in Manhattan, in Manhattan chanting F. Charlie Kirk and calling him
Starting point is 01:27:10 racist. They're demanding justice for Corey Zucatus and Trey Reed, two people, one of them a black student, were found hanging from trees in Mississippi. This is at different locations. I will stress, Trey Reed committed suicide. That's the medical examiner report. They're protesting for a dude who, it's sad, took his own life while screaming F. Charlie Kirk. Why? Fuck Charlie Kerrne. Fuck Charlie Kerr. Fuck Charlie Kerr.
Starting point is 01:27:44 Fuck Charlie Kerr. Fuck Charlie Kerr! He was a racist. He was a racist. He was a racist. He was a racist. I'm personally familiar with that protester. He was threatened me in my Instagram DMs.
Starting point is 01:27:58 He's like the prominent It's like, you know, a protester. He's doing this for attention. And look, nobody gives a crap. Nobody gives a shit. He's just trying to be controversial. Justice for Trey. Can I just show you this?
Starting point is 01:28:09 This is from, uh, here we go. Clarion Ledger. MS. Medical Examiner releases report on hanging of black men at Delta State. They even called it a hanging of a black man. The Mississippi State Medical Examiner has come to the conclusion that the hanging death of Trey Reed from a tree at Delta State was consistent with suicide. Findings were consistent. with the initial investigation, determining the cause of death to be hanging in the manner of death as suicide.
Starting point is 01:28:34 Funnel toxicology results are pending and may take two to four weeks. This is what we have to deal with. I just saw a post from this liberal person I know where they posted to their Instagram story, a guy being like, how do you know if you're actually on the right side of both sides are saying that they're right about everything? And I'm like, I read the news all day every day and fact check it. And I don't know how you conclude anything different. when the medical examiner says it was a suicide but they're protesting for justice while screaming Charlie was a racist they don't live in reality
Starting point is 01:29:03 these guys are looking for attention these are losers who are looking for attention every single protester and every liberal sure this guy in particular many of the protesters should be taking care of his children at home is that guy a career activist he's just a loser bum no
Starting point is 01:29:19 job or dead end job where does he lay his head at night how does he buy food some run down apart apartment and out of town doesn't pay his child support isn't married to his baby mama half of those are good educated guesses but i take the bet nonetheless yeah yeah demons yeah you're demons walking among us this is this is crazy i got i got to pull this up because i don't know what's going on anymore these days this this tweet just dropped numerous officers rushing towards unccw amphitheater with a helicopter circling above law enforcement officer report reported
Starting point is 01:29:52 that four suspects are in custody while one fled to the woods we have no idea in I saw a different report that said there was one apprehension, and that was the person that was seen with the rifle. Walking with the rifle? Yeah. So I don't know if that's true. I looked at it, like, just a few minutes ago. They're investigating.
Starting point is 01:30:13 I don't see any latest updates. They're saying continue to shelter in place while the law enforcement are doing sweeps. Guys, I don't know what's going on in this country. All I can tell you is we may be hyper-focused on social media, so every little instance looks like something bigger than it really is. Or we could be in something bigger than it we think it is. However, this is the same school where they vandalized a Charlie Memorial with the trans flag. Just a day ago, right?
Starting point is 01:30:44 A couple of days ago. With the colors of the trans flag, they were using the- The rock? The thing. Apparently, I'm told after the fact that I only just learned this, the rock is painted over every other day so the painting over the memorial was just the normal process
Starting point is 01:31:00 by which people come and change and tomorrow someone else will paint over but she did that very deliberate of course I saw the video it didn't look like she was authorized to there's no authorization apparently they call it like it's called like Freedom Rock
Starting point is 01:31:12 or Honor Rock or something like that and anybody can go and paint it whenever they want and it gets painted over every other day or something but to walk up and do it right in front of the people that are having their little ceremony so it's not vandalism but it's still in response to Charlie Kirk and it's trans colors
Starting point is 01:31:27 specifically because it was Charlie. Here's some more video. Mario Noffel's posting this. Oh my God. Holy shit. Oh. They're still saying shelter in place following this video of the guy with a rifle.
Starting point is 01:31:47 I don't know. You know, honestly, like, somebody walks around with a gun and then people scream and lose their minds for no reason. That's what happened in Utah where that Antifa guy had an AR-15 that he was open carrying legally, and then two liberal guys
Starting point is 01:32:01 freaked out and started shooting at him and killed a random guy. It's like that dude carrying the rifle did nothing wrong. I don't like Antifa, but he's allowed to open carry. I don't think that's allowed on a campus, though. Campus, I understand. That's what I'm saying like... And he's clearly doing it to menace other people.
Starting point is 01:32:17 This guy carrying that rifle? Video. How is he menacing anybody? He's not pointing at anybody? What is he doing coming home from class? and just randomly has a rifle in his hand. What if it's an air rifle he got? We can't tell what that is. It could be a BB gun. Right.
Starting point is 01:32:31 That's why I'm saying like, we see all these videos of the cops running and freaking out and it may be like someone posted the video, everybody panicked, a bunch of reports started coming in because everyone's freaking out. And then it's possible. I'm not saying this is shelter in place.
Starting point is 01:32:43 Take it seriously. But it may turn out this guy like the next day, the next day is like, was that because of me? I mean, there are parts of the country where that would not freak people out. That's my point. You have to be autistic to not know.
Starting point is 01:32:56 No, absolutely not. In North Carolina, in Florida, in Virginia, in Virginia, you can buy a break, a break-action, 22 air rifle, pellet gun. That looks just like that. And if you're walking around with it, no one's going to get it. You can walk into a Walmart and buy one and walk out with it over your shoulder. But you would think this guy, if he's at all aware of what's going on, if he means no harm, would put it in a case or would make sure that it's not out.
Starting point is 01:33:21 if he has any social decorum. And you know what? And fear for his own safety, probably. He was walking gay. I'm just going to say it. Everyone's thinking it. He was walking gay. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:33:35 It's an open carry state. And it is a permit, you need a concealed carry license for concealed carry. So for long guns, you can open carry. He's not doing anything wrong. I doubt that's allowed on campus, though. It is in Utah, even where we looked this up where Charlie Kirk got shot,
Starting point is 01:33:58 you can open carry rifles. Yeah, I just, I doubt that that's allowed on UNC Wilmington's campus. Let's find out. I mean, look, they've got a shelter-in-place order. Were there people shot or were there shots that were heard? It is prohibited. On the campus. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:16 Most campuses, probably. Yeah. Yeah, I mean. So he's making a statement of some kind. Right. Assuming he wasn't trying to threaten someone, he's making some sort of statement. Bro thought that was tough. And it didn't, it didn't going to work out for him. No.
Starting point is 01:34:31 One way or another. No. I mean, look. All I saw is that one person had been taken into custody. I mean, look, the fact that the... Okay, exemptions do exist. Instructional supplies, tools for instruction, maintenance, weapon use for education or school-sanction ceremonial purposes, or insubstant. school-approved programs.
Starting point is 01:34:54 So it's likely an uncoacher rifle on campus. Right. Yep. I'll put it like this. This is what a civil war would look like. And I think people don't, again, I said it over and over again this past week because of the severity of what's going on. But yeah, you can't open carry on that campus and a video comes out of a guy.
Starting point is 01:35:16 And honestly, we don't even know if that's at UNCW, to be completely honest. Maybe the people who are there do, but for me watching this video, I have no idea. You get videos of police running. You get reports of a 22-year-old threatening them to make bombs. You get reports of a congressional staffer being emulated saying, I don't want to die. And they're saying, we'll release a report later. No signs of foul play. You get stories like this all the time.
Starting point is 01:35:36 That's what it looks like. This is what's scary. So we are absolutely, this is a civil strife period. Charlie Kirk was just assassinated. So we are in civil strife. The security stuff that I'm having to deal with is nuts. And I just, I don't see. I don't see any meaningful path towards going back.
Starting point is 01:35:57 Except tough leaders who start enforcing law. That's the only thing we're not going back. You don't even think that would do it. Already when Trump said Antifa's terrorists, what were their response? They said Trump's making it illegal to fight fascism and they're mobilizing. If you look at the response from the left, if you try to be a law and order president say, we're going to do these things because they're breaking the law, et cetera. The response is he's a fascist, he's a Nazi.
Starting point is 01:36:21 have to stop this because next thing you know they're going to have train cars and there's going to be camps and blah blah they were calling alligator alcatra as a camp you know because oh look but it's what the immigration thing is working though the self deportation is working i'm not saying you're wrong yeah what i'm saying is the left is going to respond in a hyperbolic way they did they killed charlie kirk yeah exactly so the more that's certainly true yeah and they're calling for more death this wasn't this wasn't a sobering moment for leftists and liberals it it was a green light and that's I was saying. So periodically, while we do these shows, if those don't know, I'm constantly going through Twitter, looking for breaking news. That's why I'm finding the breaking new stuff.
Starting point is 01:36:59 And I'm seeing posts from liberals that I know that are justifying, even right now, Charlie Kirk's murder. How am I supposed to talk to these people? Yeah. Well, that's true. Yeah. They're posting videos saying MAGA is a cult, don't trust them. They're all wrong. And I'm like, it is crazy that people like Destiny, he's lying, discernibly and manipulatively. Uh, politics, girl made a video where she said he came from a conservative background. That was an intentional manipulation because she knows we already knew that, but that he was living with a trans lover. That's the place reported that he said that he couldn't negotiate with Charlie Kirk's hate. And so while I certainly don't blindly trust that those messages are 100% true, it looks like
Starting point is 01:37:46 they may have someone fabricated something. The point is all available evidence indicates this person is left aligned. Why would politics girl intentionally lie? Why would you say the engravings were just markings from a manufacturer? She knows she's lying. There's no way. No way. And then I have to deal with liberals that I've known for decades believing that and telling me I'm in the cult and I deserve to die.
Starting point is 01:38:07 Or that they say, well, look, the people that are saying you should die are just angry. And I'm like, shut your mouth. There is no going back. When there are people that I've known for 20 years posting videos saying Charlie deserved it, I don't know where we go from there. These are people that I played Tony Hawk's Prostator 2 with over Christmas, and they are posting that my friend should have died, or the crazy ones that Trump killed him on purpose to justify an expansion of a fascist state. There's no reasoning with a lunatic who's gone off the deep end, and I am not talking about
Starting point is 01:38:36 leftists. I am talking about a run-of-the-mill default lib in Chicago who doesn't know up from down in the political world, and if you said what a Supreme Court justice mean, they'd be like when we win the ruling. That's the level of politics I'm talking about. saying Charlie Kirk deserved it. How am I supposed to talk to people like that? I don't see how we're going back. That's the point. Like the fact that you can't talk to people, like they say, well, you know, you want to bring the temperature down and fine. That sounds great, right? But how do you bring the temperature down when the other side doesn't want to talk about it? Doesn't want to listen to your opinion. And when you do say your opinion, something like Charlie Kirk, who is incredibly
Starting point is 01:39:12 moderate. He was a normy Republican with very boring, normal religious views, stuff that's not in any way extreme. They call you all these horrible names. They make up lies about what you say. They take your, they take your statements out of context. You can't reach a place where conversation is possible. And again, this guy, this normy conservative guy was murdered because they thought that he was too extreme. So how do you get people to come to the table to talk when they're specifically refusing to have any kind of dialogue? When default libs are saying, yeah, well, he was a racist, and they're standing in the street saying he was a racist to justify it when Jimmy Kimmel is going on ABC and saying it was MAGA that did it and Trump, look how he mourns and mocks it. And then Jimmy Kimmel says, because this is all over, all over X right now, that he was going to blame MAGA and double down on this.
Starting point is 01:40:08 I'm just like, the only reason to have hope, the only reason is that there have been some consequences for that bad behavior this time. Some people have lost their job. Some people have said, you know what, this crosses the line. I mean, honestly, I'm surprised that there's been that level of consequence. But what does that mean to somebody who's living under the fear of death? I mean, to you or to me as a candidate? To all of us. I mean, that I don't feel better about it.
Starting point is 01:40:39 Any old lady who wants to go to a Trump rally. Oh, yeah. But we've known. This has been the problem. We didn't discipline. We didn't discipline these people who harassed the people who were standing in line to go to the Trump rally back in 2016. But what?
Starting point is 01:40:52 So let me, let me ask you a question. I hear what you're saying. If a dog takes a dump on your floor and then you come back later and the dog runs up to you all happy and then you grab it by the collar and you yell at it, will that teach the dog not to poop on the floor? You go put their face. Exactly. The dog has to know why you're yelling at it. Right. What happens if the dog doesn't understand?
Starting point is 01:41:19 the dog will do it again, right? If he doesn't understand, that's why you've got to make it clear. And that's what we have failed to do for a decade. We can't because we are not talking about the simplicity of animals. We are talking about liberals. When you say, hey, you can't advocate death. They go, look, I told you this would happen. This proves it.
Starting point is 01:41:37 Trump's a fascist. It's my free speech. And politics girl and Kyle Kalinsky and Hassan and Destiny are lying. So it's not just that you're taking the dog. and saying, look what you did, bad dog. It is more complex than that, where someone else is simultaneously saying, I warned you that would happen. It wasn't actually that you made the mess.
Starting point is 01:41:57 It's that I told you he was going to hit you because he hates you. This is why you got to be engaged. And you are, and I am and other people are, to try to counter that false narrative. And you can't. I mean, you just don't think there's any turning back. I think they're intellectually. They need to feel pain and the pain that will be inflicted on them is social ostracization. penalizing them with freedom of association.
Starting point is 01:42:22 We're already seeing that. And it's actually a mercy that we're giving to them, that we're not meeting them, meeting their cruelty with more cruelty. And those are matters within our own hands that we don't have to wait for leaders to show up. I would just enforce the law. That's what I would say.
Starting point is 01:42:39 Yes, and that's not going to stop default libs from posting on Instagram that Charlie deserved it, and you should die. That's not going to stop it. So what you are saying is correct, Mary. there's a problem there. The far left will far left. They're not going to change. They are cognizant of what they are doing. They are intentionally lying. So this idea of punishing them or ostracizing them won't change the fact. You can try and censor them. They're going to
Starting point is 01:43:02 double down because they have a political mission. And that political mission won't stop with being silenced. It's true for people on the right. You silence Alex Jones. He's not going away. He's something he believes in. The issue is you've got to get default libs to stop posting that Charlie was a racist and deserved it. But they were allowed to. They're allowed to express an opinion, even if it's wrong. The actual solution would be, to some degree, for normies to be told, you can't post misinformation, right? Well, we saw what happened with the Trump administration. They tried that against conservatives, and it didn't work.
Starting point is 01:43:34 They tried it every way up from down. They even banned parlor off the app stores for fake reasons to make sure conservatives could not organize, and none of it ever worked. So I do not believe doing the same thing to the left is going to change. change anything they do. If you go to a default lib and they say something like Charlie was racist, so you ban them for misinformation, they'll go to Blue Sky. They'll go to Mastodon. They will show up in person to the activist event and say, you were right. They're fascists. They banned me for my opinion. That's why I do not, I look at it like this. And everything I do in business and everything that I do with the products I work on is a mathematical equation. And so one example is let's just
Starting point is 01:44:15 take a look at the size of Timcast, the scale of the business, the work that I do, I work extremely hard, and I calculate, and I plan ahead. And so I can dodge the manipulative enforcement. I can navigate how they try to silence and censor, but I can also do the math to hire people, grow the business, calculating a touch a way, where do we got to put money to make this business grow and succeed, and the ancillary projects? How can we make the inverted world bigger pop culture crisis and the boonies? And the boonies has now seen tremendous growth with the events we're doing. nowhere near the best. I'm actually near the bottom. There's a list of people who are pretty good to run into business. I'm near the bottom, but still pretty good. And when I look at everything that's
Starting point is 01:44:53 going on in the world and I look to make predictions, and I say, what am I predicting, what is the mathematical equation and where does it end up? There's a reason why I'm not in the city anymore. And isn't it the correct decision based on where we are today that I left the city and came out to the middle of nowhere? Considering the fact that we have security gates, armed guards, and other security issues that I'm not going to bring up, certainly that calculation was a correct one. Me doing this show from the city as I was before is a huge mistake. And that's just one calculation that I've made in how do I effectively do this based on what we're going to see happening. My view of this right now is I have laid out as many variables as I can
Starting point is 01:45:34 and I do not see a mathematical equation that de-radicalizes the left. Well, you're correct that the way we're penalizing them now by calling their jobs, whatever, social ostracization, that doesn't change the matter of what's in their heart and what's in their conscience. Because it didn't work on the right when the right was being silenced and censored and oppressed. It actually, if anything,
Starting point is 01:46:00 strengthened their beliefs and radicalize them further to the right. So getting the left fired and all the stuff that's happening with Charlie Kirk may feel really good because we're in a culture war, but it's entrenching the left and it's being used as cannon fodder by the far left in Antifa to rally and recruit, and it's going to actually turn more default libs.
Starting point is 01:46:18 So what I'm seeing among the liberal cohort of the thousands of people I have on Facebook, the average person has no idea about Tucker or Roseanne or any of these things, because they don't follow conservative circles. The only information they get is what's filtered to them through the lying liberal pundits. Now that Jimmy Kimmel's been fired, what are they being told? The FCC under Trump forced ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel for criticism. him and they believe it. So when people start losing their jobs, they go, oh my God, they were right. Trump's a fascist. And when you try to go to them and say, can I show you the news
Starting point is 01:46:53 articles that debunk all of this and break it down for you? They go, they warned me you try and lie. They told me the fascists would come and try and lie to me that proves it. And I've personally experienced this. I was in San Bernardino. And they were Trump supporters on one corner of the street and Antifa leftist on the other side of the street. And I was why, this was back, this is 2016, 2015 maybe I think it was 16 I crossed the street to the antiphoside
Starting point is 01:47:18 and there's people standing around wearing black and I said hey how's it going guys do you mind if I talked to some of you about what you're protesting and then some guy goes
Starting point is 01:47:27 oh yeah we're here immediately one of the facilitators goes mic check and they all in unison yell mic check and then the person goes they do mic check
Starting point is 01:47:36 like five times mic check mic check mic check and then all of a sudden you're not talking anymore and they go do not
Starting point is 01:47:43 And then everyone repeats, do not talk to, talk to reporters. Reporters, they will, they will lie to you, lie to you, to trick you, to trick you. And then I'm sitting there like, did anybody want to talk? And they're like, get out of here, man. And I was like, what the just happened? Every, you've seen it. Totally. Many times.
Starting point is 01:48:04 It's a death cult. So when we try to talk to these people, now don't get me wrong. I know there are people watching the show and I've watched it so said, you know, I watched a video. and I got woken up to what was going on. I don't think that it's fruitless, but I seriously feel like it's probably two to four percent of the country. And so it's worth doing and we'll keep doing it. And I appreciate it. Two to four percent of the country that's influenced by you? That's capable of being like made aware of the lies. Do you think more than 50 percent of the country is lost in this mess? Yes. And I think the poll, how many people voted for Kamala Harris? Yeah, no. Voting may be different than the culture. But after every, but after every. Everything we saw, after everything we saw, by all means, you can argue that Kamala got 10 million extra votes. Whatever, don't care. Call it 60 million votes. After COVID lockdowns. After Fauci's lies, after you got to wear two masks now. Two masks? People believed all this. And they still voted for her. And they still, to this day, maintain those positions. That is the hyper-polarization of the country. They're in two different distinct worlds. You know what? You guys talk for a second. I'm trying to find a video. Well, I also wanted to mention that there are people on the left who still have a conscience and humanity left and they're being absolutely dragged right now by their own side, including the man who was in the middle of dialogue with Charlie when he was shot. He made a TikTok after the fact talking about the fact that ironically he was trying to argue with Charlie about how the left is nonviolent.
Starting point is 01:49:35 and he unequivocally of course condemned the murder and he didn't even qualify his statement or anything and they have just absolutely dragged him over the coals for saying that and then also another girl who debated Charlie in a Jubilee video it was like the biggest clip that got farmed off of that they're all just cloud chasing yeah she made a TikTok as well condemning the murder and she didn't qualify her statement or excuse it or downplay it or celebrate it certainly and they're like oh she's not down with the cause you know we we can't trust her she's she's not really down with the revolution so that's the question right now that's the question which is the majority so uh remarkable this was so easy to find uh here's the video watch
Starting point is 01:50:29 The audio is pretty bad on this one. Why is the audio so bad on this one? Let me try and find a better one. You guys keep talking. This video, it's thousands of people in a park holding up their hands, chanting. Chanting about how racist they are. Conservatives don't do this.
Starting point is 01:50:58 It's a sea of white skin. Yeah. Let me see if I can find better audio because I just got to hope that that's not the, that the crazies are not the majority. It doesn't matter. You get manipulated by the minority, no question. But it doesn't matter if it's the majority or not. All that matters is there's enough. Like three or four percent of the population can destroy a country.
Starting point is 01:51:22 That is certainly true. So it doesn't matter if there's a majority. It just depends on how many are actually most. motivated to take action. I mean, it wasn't most of America in the streets during 2020, but there was enough where there was billions of dollars of damage. And for the vast majority of the people that were in the streets, they weren't even engaging in the violent actions. There was maybe 10% that were asking. That's why I'm saying. You've got to have leaders who will say, it doesn't matter whether I agree with you or not. You are not going to get away to do this.
Starting point is 01:51:58 you're not going to allow this to happen. To your point, you've got to have way more prisons because you need to put the people that actually will act into jail. So you have to take them off the streets. You can't have people that will engage in revolutionary activities like that. You have to take them out of the public, out of the public. You have to take them off the streets. They can't be free because they're literally trying to destroy your society. If we did that for 10 years, if we were tough for 10 years, under the current law, don't have to change it, enforce the current law harshly, I think you would see a cultural
Starting point is 01:52:31 change. It may be a little late but I think we could still save this. I'd love to agree with you, but the problem is Karen. The problem is awfuls. Affluent, white, upper class, liberal women, they will see people getting arrested and then they will
Starting point is 01:52:47 vote for whatever they have to vote for to end it. And then those people will be put back on the streets. You have you have DAs and you have judges that won't put people in jail right now. So I agree with you. But your prescription requires not just
Starting point is 01:53:03 a president or governors or what have you. You need an entire revamping of the justice system and you have to get rid of people that think that restorative justice is a good idea. No question. All of that stuff. That's why I'm hopeful that if
Starting point is 01:53:18 Trump, let's just take D.C. for example. I had a place in D.C. for 12 years. I watched the bars come off the apartments when things were getting better. And then I watched the bars go back on because people started to get attacked again. And I'm hoping that the average person, especially these affluent people who bought expensive condos and thought it was so much fun to walk around drunk at 2 o'clock in the morning in D.C., and now can't do that, are going to be glad. You're like, I hate Trump. But thank God he's kind of
Starting point is 01:53:47 cracked down on the bad guys who were trying to rob me and carjack me and break into my house. And then, am I stupid for thinking maybe they'll change their vote? I mean, like I said, I agree with you, but the task at this point has become so monumental, and there are people that are not plugged in politically, they're not aware, they don't deal with this stuff on a day to day basis. And I'm skeptical as to if we can actually get the kind of changes in not just in the leadership, but in the justice system, in DAs and in judges, that will actually solve. the problem. So a little off topic, but Mary, I'm just dying to know because we were kind of talking about it earlier when we were talking about Mr. Reed. Could you vote for a gay candidate and like why or why not? Well, look, you don't have to worry about me. I don't live in Virginia. So you don't need my vote. But I did say that I wouldn't be uncomfortable voting for a gay candidate. Yes.
Starting point is 01:54:53 I said that. And I stand by that. And why do you feel that way? Um, you know, you asked me what my reasoning was, and I told you quite bluntly, I don't know if I have a very sophisticated reasoned explanation for it. It was faith-based for you. Well, yes. It's also sort of an instinctual, like, disgust factor, but... Jesus. She does represent... It's blunt, but... No, no. I was saying, Jesus, Jesus Christ, like a good thing. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:55:22 Look, it's not relevant to what we're discussing right now. I think that we should stay on topic. And what I wanted to point out before you brought that up was that to what Phil was saying, it's actually not as slim of a minority as three or four percent that we're talking about. And I think that's what's been clarified for a lot of people through their own day-to-day interactions. The revolutionary. With their family members, with their friends, with their friends, with their co-workers and acquaintances, rather than a fringe element that you only find online or at
Starting point is 01:55:58 protests, they're realizing that their flesh and blood family members or their closest friends, people they've known for decades in some cases, are part of that. Maybe it's not even a minority. Maybe it's not. I know you're coming at it from a more hopeful perspective that the majority is normal people who don't want this, but I'm not so sure. I'm not sure either, but I have some hope that there have been people who have stood up after Charlie Kirk is assassinated for sitting in a chair and talking to people and have said, oh, my God, that crosses the line. Thank goodness there's still people who think that crosses the line. Seems so obvious to me.
Starting point is 01:56:40 I mean, clearly there are some people who are making excuses. The other thing that I think is good, if anything good comes out of this is that Charlie Kirk created a body of work, which is that Charlie Kirk created a body of work, which is. is available online, and I get the impression, I mean, everybody's Facebook feed or TikTok feed is different, but I get the impression. A lot of people are seeking that out to understand who he was and what he talked about. Was it crazy? Was it extreme? And I've got to believe that the average person, even if they're a big lib or consider themselves to be a leftist, seeing an assassination and then looking at why he was assassinated, hypothetically, we'll sober some people up. Like, this is wrong. This is just not right, I think. And even that gruesome footage of the assassination doesn't really have the impact that it ought to because we see gruesome events on social media. But that's true.
Starting point is 01:57:40 Nearly constantly. That's true. And that- 30 or 40 years ago, this would have been mind-blowing, shocking, and now it's not. So that's another thing. It's not just young people who are chronically online. that are responding in these extreme ways, I've been thinking more about the boomers who are responding to this
Starting point is 01:57:58 and celebrating, ridiculing, downplaying, excusing. I think really the mask that default libs are wearing right now to cater to leftists is going at the gun control angle with this. A lot of boomers do not understand the impact that this event has had and is going to have going forward because they grew up in a high trust society. And I saw Charlie Sheen comparing this to our generation's JFK moment. And it's not that at all. Because as you pointed out earlier, in the country, after JFK's assassination, for better
Starting point is 01:58:42 for worse, we had centralized mass media. People were unified in recognizing. the gravity of that event and mourning the loss of that leader. And there is no comparison today with decentralized media and social media. It's more than I thought it would be. And the spiritual rot that has taken place since then. I apologize for missing superchats. I really do. This took me a really long time to find because it's 237 weeks ago on my Instagram. But I'll try playing it for you now. about racism, anti-blackness, or violence.
Starting point is 01:59:24 About racism, anti-blackness, or violence. I will use my voice in the most uplifting way possible. It's a cult. Here's thousands of people chanting a religious ideology back to their proselytizer. There is no way in any meaningful course of action. These people will be convinced. cult. That's cults. And the cult is the size of their social media. So when I talk about the default libs and I go to my friend and I show them this video and say, this is a cult, they're
Starting point is 02:00:00 going to go, what are you talking about? I do that. What's wrong with that? And you're going to be like, holy crap. And then when you say, let me show you a news article that proves what you think is not correct. They'll say, they told me you'd say that. In order to break someone out of a cult, you remove them physically from the cult. That's the first thing you do. So, if someone's in, you have to remove them from it. You can't remove people from a digital cult. They believe insane fake things. They sit in parks with their hands up chanting.
Starting point is 02:00:30 I got to be honest. Prayer I understand. Churches, depending on your religion and Christian religion, your prayers are to something beyond. These people are praying to other people. That's a cult. So I'll try and grab some of your chants and rants, chats and rants. smash the like button, share the show
Starting point is 02:00:51 with everyone you know follow me on accident Instagram join our Discord server I apologize I just thought it was extremely important to show that video because I'm hoping that there are some people who are going to see how psychotic this cult is and go
Starting point is 02:01:04 whoa, that is a cult and that's why that video is so important I had to dig through my Instagram and it loads like nine videos at a time I had to go back 237 weeks to get there so anyway I'll just try and grab two or three because we do need to go to the uncensored portion
Starting point is 02:01:18 all right let's see hans one p cases i posted in discord live stream of jimmy protest outside theater they are recycling signs and protesters interesting same old man says do you have any idea why tucker is going off the deep end with the whole blaming israel and the jews like candis is doing why using charlie kirk i don't like how they're using kirk like that i will just say it is very very weird in that Candace and Tucker seem to have inverted their political views in a short amount of time. That's it. Not all of their views, but like within the span of a couple years, their political views are very different. Tucker is now, I think, defending Jimmy Kimmel. Is he really? Something about free speech. I didn't actually see it. So this is why I'm always
Starting point is 02:02:05 careful to criticize because. You know, he was a worse neocon than me at one point, Tucker Carlson. Yeah. All right. We'll just grab one here. You admitting that being a neo- Khan is bad. Well, I'm saying it is in a tongue-in-cheek way. Yeah, he was all in on the Iraq war, I believe. Yeah. David Brickin says, this is for everyone. I hope Sunday turns into a global event of love and compassion. I hope Sunday turns into one of the biggest memorials in the world, show these people that they've awoken a Charlie Kirk in all of us. Do it for Charlie. Right on. All right, everybody, we're going to go to that uncensored members-only portion of the show.
