If you want to check out more segments just like this, become a member at TimCast.com. Now enjoy the show. My friends, I am eternally grateful for all of you as members. Now, enjoy the show. of the insurrection that took place at the Longworth House building when violent, violent members of Stephen Colbert's
Starting point is 00:00:50 staff breached the Longworth building in an act of violence and were arrested. Now Colbert is trying to defend this insurrection against these United States. Disgusting.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I eat when I'm stressed, so the whole thing has just got me. Are you eating Sour Patch Kids? Red, white, and blue Sour Patch Kids? I'm trying to reaffirm my wonderful country after it was almost overthrown. That's right. It was almost overthrown by trying to become a dog. I couldn't believe it. So Stephen Colbert comes out, and he downplays what happened.
Starting point is 00:01:27 And here's the funny thing. Just like Trump, by the way. Just like Trump. Let's go to the chase. Tucker Carlson said it was an insurrection. He's obviously being tongue-in-cheek. Stephen Colbert is like, the TV people said it was an insurrection. What?
Starting point is 00:01:40 Huh? They weren't even in the Capitol building. Tucker didn't say they were in the Capitol building. Colbert is a piece of shit. He's a liar. This is how they manipulate you. Tucker Carlson was making a point that when the police opened the door to the Capitol building, not the rioters, but on the other side of the building, one of these guys, his name was Martin something,
Starting point is 00:01:58 he gets, Matthew Martin, I think his name was, he gets acquitted because there's a video of him being fanned in by cops. And the judge was like, yeah, he was let in. colbert's people were told to leave and then broke back in so this is a combination of things i don't think they're gonna we're gonna see any real charges and i think this is an example of the machine protects itself and i'll add on top of this which will bring us into the bigger conversation i suppose perhaps i am biased but we've been threatened and have dealt with so much bullshit. And I wonder why law enforcement hasn't done anything about it, haven't found these guys, haven't stopped them.
Starting point is 00:02:34 You know what? To be fair, with January 6th, it took them months to years to find some of the people involved in the riot. Maybe in a year we can see the people who have been swatting us and coming after us getting you know, getting charged or something like that. But I don't know. I view this as maybe people don't
Starting point is 00:02:56 care this much, but when I was talking about this on the main show that we're frogs in a pot and the water's starting to boil, this story actually in my opinion is probably one of the most serious stories in the context of a civil war is coming. Why this one? Stephen Colbert, late night TV, forced to defend seven staff members who broke into
Starting point is 00:03:16 a congressional office building in the dead of night and have to explain away why it was not an act of insurrection against the united states government is fucking nuts what was he defending their actions he said they were just detained yeah but the issue here is what their what their argument would be let me say what their argument would be the argument would be that the day they were doing this wasn't stopping a peaceful transfer of power. That's their argument, right? So that's not an insurrection.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Right. But then the day that the cops waved and these other people, well, that was the day that there was a transfer of power going on. Sure, sure. So their argument would be that's why it's not an insurrection. So I don't understand why this is the big one. Why is this one the big one? This is one of the biggest stories because a late-night TV show host is directly addressing the culture war and the breakdown of this country. Oh, thank you. Involving himself.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Okay. So my point is – I obviously understand his point about insurrection. Right. But the issue is – actually, I have the tweet right here. You're saying because this guy now has to step up into the culture war where usually he's controlling the culture war usually and now he's you're saying now he's in it yeah so so i have this i wrote on twitter if this is insurrection then colbert's staff did way worse cnn reported a federal judge found matthew martin not guilty of four federal misdemeanor charges related trespassing marking the first time a u.s capital
Starting point is 00:04:39 right defendant was acquitted martin worked as a contractor blah blah he argued successfully the capital office a capital police officer waved him into the building at least one video played and was acquitted. Martin worked as a contractor, blah, blah, blah. He argued successfully the Capitol Police officer waved him into the building. At least one video played during the trial appeared to show an officer moving his arm in a waving motion.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Not only that, but they opened the doors. They called that an insurrection. They don't distinguish between those who were let into the building and took selfies with cops, which was many of these people,
Starting point is 00:05:00 and those who were fighting with cops on the other side of the building, multiple entrances. Stephen Colbert's staff was told to leave. Got it. They were told not to come back. They were let in reportedly by Adam Schiff,
Starting point is 00:05:12 and they were banging on doors and causing a ruckus after hours. That is worse than what these other people were charged with. The people who are fighting, trying to break in to shut down something, fine, call it whatever you want. This guy, Matthew Martin, wasn't insurrecting. He wasn't trying to shut down anything. He was let in, and he walked around like, you know, they call them maga memos.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Regardless. I can understand why you'd be like, well, all of these people there were doing something. Sure, whatever. My point is, for one, he's wrong. What his staff did was worse it wasn't the capital building was a longworth building but the big thing here is i was kind of shocked to see steven colbert have to come out and talk about his involvement in the culture war that they do it on his show on his show so what's the outcome of this do you think that now he's gonna have to back
Starting point is 00:06:03 off do you think now he triples down it's just what do you think the the outcome of this? Do you think that now he's going to have to back off? Do you think now he triples down? What do you think the outcome is here? Here's the way I'm putting it. We look at this right now and we're like, but nothing happened. His staff were just telling jokes. Why is it a big deal? Because if four years ago I said, in four years, Stephen Colbert, as the host of The Late Show, will have to address why seven of his staff members were arrested after breaking in to or being illegally allowed to enter by a Democrat into a congressional building. And the Capitol Police had already told him to leave.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And he explained to his audience of two million people why this was not an insurrection against the federal government. You'd be like, shut the fuck up. That's insane. There's no fucking way a late night comedian is going to go on TV and talk to the entire country and say, my staff did not try to overthrow the government. That's stupid bullshit. He's not just a comedian, though.
Starting point is 00:06:58 He's a political show. He is. That's true. So I guess where I'm going with this is, this to me goes back to what we talked about earlier, which is this is becoming the norm. Like it's okay that we do this now, right? Right. So it's okay that I stalk a Supreme Court justice. It's okay that I go do these things now.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Exactly. This is a problem. So I'm thinking – let's go even back 10 years. Let's go back to Gamergate. Remember Gamergate? Yep. You got a bunch of, Sargon of Carl Benjamin, and he's like, that Anissa Sarkeesian is a ho-ho laughable and cunt or whatever he would say about her.
Starting point is 00:07:35 I don't know, Sargon, big fan. And imagine going back to Carl Benjamin in 2013 and saying, in 10 years, Stephen Colbert will be the host of The Late Show, taking over for, who did Jay Leno? Who did he take over for? I don't fucking know. Yeah. Was it Leno?
Starting point is 00:07:52 Yeah. It was supposed to be Conan. Conan got fired and then. Taking over for Leno. I think it's how it was. And you'll be like, oh, okay. I mean, that sounds believable. And in 2022, seven of his staff members will have been arrested
Starting point is 00:08:03 for illegally entering a congressional building. He will then be facetiously accused of staging an insurrection against the government, and he'll be forced to address it because Capitol Police will have arrested his staff. You'd be like, shut the fuck up. And you might be like, okay, well, that sounds like a joke. Yes, but a year and a half prior, 800 or so Trump supporters, supporters of then-President Donald Trump, will break into the Capitol, they'd go, okay, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:08:30 No fucking way. I'm just like, in 10 years' time, Donald Trump became president, was accused of being a Russian agent, Joe Biden, Ukraine gate, January 6th, Texas v. Pennsylvania, all of this. When I see these things, I see January 6th, I'm like, holy fuck, dude.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I watched that happen. It was scary. Facebook basically banned me. They booted me from the partner program for putting up a video covering what happened on January 6th. Fuck Facebook. And I remember watching that happen, thinking this is insane. I think about Texas v. Pennsylvania when I covered this. Half the country was suing half the country arguing the election was illegitimate.
Starting point is 00:09:14 And now we're at the point where there's no escape. Everyone is involved now. Stephen Colbert, he was a propagandist. He was a comedian joking about it. Are you blackpilled here? Are you saying that's it? We're going to be civil warring? Why is that black though?
Starting point is 00:09:31 For some, that's a white pill. Civil war is a white pill? For a lot of people. No, that's not. I don't know. No, no. White pill will be we're going to politely somehow break this country up. That's a white –
Starting point is 00:09:43 Sure, sure, sure. I'm not saying Civil War is bad. I'm saying this is the factionalization at all levels. It could result in peaceful divorce. That's not a black pill. But not only that, Civil War is bad. You don't want violence. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:55 I mean that would be terrible. Right. But for the left, they do. They don't want a Civil War. They want to own it. So for them, they're happy about it. But that's not a white pill. That's not happiness.
Starting point is 00:10:06 It's coming from hate. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, you really mean that? White pill is like optimism we're going to win. Black pill is we're doomed. It's fine. No, it's not about winning and losing. White pill is about people surviving and thriving, all of us.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Yeah, see, the whole reason why, I mean, the reason why I do what I do so much and why I spend so much of my time and energy doing this is because I don't want it to fall into civil war. Because I don't – I want to create an option for people to still make this viable so that people could say, you know what? When we're ready to have that battle and that fight and we're angry, there's some group of people or some individual I can go to to say, look, Larry, can you and your people – can you walk us through this? Not I hate the left or I hate the right so much that the only answer is we're going to start shooting each other because when we stop talking, we start fighting. I think dominoes are falling over and there's no way out. That's black pill. You're saying not black pill. That's not black pill.
Starting point is 00:11:04 You're saying Civil War is not black pill? That's not black pill. You're saying civil war is not black pill? That's kind of black pill. I did not just say a civil war was going to happen. So how do we then make anything peaceful if we're not talking? Confidence breaks, trade routes dissolve, and then people start turning inward and stop communicating with the other factions. Okay, but we're in the same cities and states. We're all together. Geographic hyperpolization has already been happening to a great degree.
Starting point is 00:11:27 You've got half a million people fleeing to Florida, half a million people fleeing to Texas. I know they're leaving New York State. I'm well aware of that. Half a million people fleeing New York. I'm well aware of that. And we've got stories about liberal-leaning people fleeing West Virginia too. Geographic hyperpolarization is happening. You've got Roe v. Wade is going to return power to the states colorado removes all restrictions you can abort a baby at nine months texas says not after
Starting point is 00:11:49 six weeks oh i think it was kansas or oklahoma said none at all right so once roe v wade is overturned tons of states are going to outright ban it so i'm saying it what i'm saying is for one i will say my initial statement was not that this ultimate, that I was saying a civil war is happening, though I do think the most likely of the outcomes will be a civil war because it is too optimistic to believe that after a peaceful divorce, people just don't fight. I think what is likely to happen is just like the first civil war, several states will declare their intent to secede, and for several months, nothing will happen. And new trade agreements will emerge, states will stop nothing will happen and new trade agreements will emerge states will stop working with each other trade trade agreements will disappear and then you
Starting point is 00:12:30 will get a new president who says fuck you send in the tanks then you get civil war yeah that's what happened in the first civil war yeah i think that's how how do you how do you think that won't happen it won't happen if we actually decentralize before. The issue is – What do you mean decentralize? Right. Look, the issue is executives right now and courts. Executives and courts run this country, right? Legislators do almost nothing, right?
Starting point is 00:12:56 So executives and courts run the country. What do you mean? Like executives business or – No, executive meaning government. I'm sorry. I should be clear. I'm sorry. Government executives, mayors, governors, presidents, along with courts run this country.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Our legislature does nothing. I think they do. I mean – Like what? In Pennsylvania, for instance, it was a legislature that passed the unconstitutional voting law, which allowed Joe Biden to win. Yes, but without question, that will go to a court or the governor will change things. The courts refuse to hear any cases on it. Which is what – they did something is my point.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Even not hearing it is something. Yes. However, everything goes to a court now, right, or the court – because everyone sues it, right? If you pass a law, someone says it's not going to work. It goes to a court. A court says yes or no. But that's – And that didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:13:40 It used to be that they passed a law and people said, oh, it's a law. But now if my – if not my team passes a law, it goes to a court. Yeah. Right? So that's how that works now. But that's what courts have always existed for, to interpret the law. Yes, but it wasn't the norm. Now it's the norm.
Starting point is 00:13:55 In other words, if you passed five laws in, say, New York State 10 years ago, right, it didn't go to – everyone didn't go to a court because it was my team. We believed that it was working. Now we believe that if it's not my team, it's by default a bad law because my team didn't authorize it. I think that's more indicative of the left, not the right. Okay. But either way, that wasn't happening. Rules and exceptions, right? So my point being the executives also control the violence far more than anything else. Executives now control violence.
Starting point is 00:14:21 It was supposed to be that the assemblies in Congress controlled controlled violence that's almost non-existent almost always executives control violence now they decide it was it was always executives that controlled violence that's what the executive branch is no okay let me be clearer then what i mean by that is if for example war we as we talked about earlier we haven't declared war in the united states since 1943 so in theory we shouldn't have sent the troops anyplace because Congress controls when we send our troops in theory. But the executive does. But that's the one instance for foreign excursions. The Congress has to declare it.
Starting point is 00:14:53 The executive actually controls the – the executive controls law enforcement and military. Correct. Yes. But as a general rule, a congress has to pass a law. That's one circumstance. A mayor of a city decides when to send the police out, not the local city council. The city council passes the law that says you have to enforce that law, right? So in other words, the governor – the mayor in theory can't say I'm going to arrest you for having blue bottles unless the city council passes a law saying blue bottles are illegal. But they've always chosen to arrest people for whatever made sense.
Starting point is 00:15:33 So if you had a blue bottle, they would say disorderly conduct. It's always been that way. I guess maybe. It's always been that way. I guess maybe. So fine. Then I don't know why we're fighting over this. Okay, yes.
Starting point is 00:15:43 It's always been true. My point being either way, executives control the violence today. Whether're fighting over this. Okay, yes, it's always been true. My point being either way, executives control the violence today. Whether that was always true or not, fine. They control the violence. If we don't have executives who agree to decentralization, to your point, a president will come in or a governor will come in or a mayor will come in and say, I'm not accepting this. I'm the ruler and I will then put violence upon it. We have to elect people who are executives, mayors, governors, presidents, who are okay with localization.
Starting point is 00:16:12 That's the way you asked, how do we make it peaceful? That's how we make it peaceful. We make it peaceful if executives are elected who go, I'm okay with decentralization. If we don't do that, they will fight. And so then how do we allocate weapons, military bases, resources? Again, if the executive is okay, we figure out a way of doing that. That's the issue.
Starting point is 00:16:32 If the executives say, yes, I'm okay with decentralization, you will have a peaceful transfer. But to me – If you don't have that, you're not going to have a peaceful transfer. It sounds like you're saying we will start this business by winning the lottery. Maybe. Yeah. My view is I think it's highly improbable that any executive is going to be like, I will gladly give up power.
Starting point is 00:16:56 You take a look at Eastern Oregon. They want to secede. Like hell, Oregon is going to allow them to fucking secede. Never going to happen. You're right. But you're right. If they did, it could avoid conflict. Yes. Butede. Never going to happen. You're right. But you're right. If they did, it could avoid conflict. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:07 But it's never going to happen. You're saying never. And what I'm saying is I don't want to be blackmailed. So what I'm saying is you may be right and it may fall into this. But I don't want to be a guy that 10 years from now is going to look back to the violence and I say, I didn't do everything I could to stop this violence. I'm doing – and maybe it is lottery. But you know what? I'm going to buy a lottery ticket then.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I'm buying the ticket. I'm going to buy that ticket. I wonder if it's more like saying we've got reports that a hurricane is forming off the eastern port. I don't want to believe it. I'm going to try and be more optimistic as opposed to saying let's batten down the hatches, order a bunch of food. It sucks, but it's coming. You disrupt the hurricane. You can acknowledge that there's a hurricane coming.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Hurricanes are as big as Texas. If I know that hurricane's coming, I have a couple of options. I can pack up and leave. That's an option. I can do that. I can surrender to the hurricane, pack up and leave. And that may be the right thing. But maybe I say, no, if I hunker down,
Starting point is 00:18:01 if I stay in the basement, maybe there's a shot I can survive this hurricane and save my house. And here's the other part. If I don't do that, if I stay in the basement, maybe there's a shot I can survive this hurricane and save my house. And here's the other part. If I don't do that, I'm losing everything. And that's what I see. I see a civil war as being horrible. It's been 150 years, more than that, since our last civil war.
Starting point is 00:18:15 And we're still paying the price for that in many ways. Yeah, never-ending. Yes, and we do another civil war? We're going to pay for that for 200 years. I don't want to pay that price. So I will buy the lottery ticket, recognizing that the odds of what I'm doing are not high. I'm not fooling myself. I think lottery is going to run for governor and save the world. No, I don't believe that. But if I start and I get my word out that we can have a conversation,
Starting point is 00:18:39 if enough people make this happen, we have a shot. Do you think women should be allowed to abort their babies at eight and a half months? Do I believe it? No, I don't. So how do you have a conversation then with the left? Easy. I stopped talking about the idea that I'm anti-woman. And I stopped talking about the idea of how do we help people make things better.
Starting point is 00:19:01 And they listen to me all the time. All the time. They listen to me all the time. There's time. They listen to me all the time. There's just not enough of me and I don't get out enough to do this. I'm only one person. All the time, I'm able to have conversation
Starting point is 00:19:11 with people on the left. Most of the people in New York State do not realize you can have an abortion in eight and a half months. I'm not joking. Most don't know that. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Most don't even know that. And when you tell them that, they go, wait a minute, my daughter was born in eight and a half months. I know half months i know and then they start that's not the left what do you mean that is literally the left uh if they if they don't know i would just call that uninformed you know yes but they vote democrat yeah so but but the left refers to like the sect of young socialists pro-abortion I'm talking about people who vote.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I'm talking about people who vote. Most young people don't vote. No. Most young people don't vote. The older people are the ones who vote. How do you convince the people who are leading these liberals and filling their minds with garbage? You mean how do I convince them?
Starting point is 00:20:01 By showing them ways of getting what they want. I'll give you a good example. All right. So like how do you convince Vosh that women shouldn't be allowed to get abortions at eight and a half months? I don't have to convince Vosh. I have to convince his audience. That's number one. I have to convince his audience.
Starting point is 00:20:14 But I could convince him if I could give him something else. And the example I'll give you is the left will often talk about things like, well, the rich should pay more. They should pay their fair share. They should pay for this or pay for that. I hear it all the time. So what do I tell them? I say, well, how about we set up a system to where the wealthy companies can sponsor with naming rights for a bridge in New York City and spend $100 million a year to sponsor that bridge and then that money will go to pay for the MTA? And they go, oh. No, they don't. They say, say are you nuts they shouldn't have the hundred million dollars in the first
Starting point is 00:20:49 place that's not what democrats say i'm not talking about democrats those are the people who vote and that's who i care about right so the civil war that's coming is because people like colbert are pandering to the extremists yep well no it's coming because the fucking economy has been shredded by for a hundred years. That's true. Yes. The point is the people who give Colbert his money are not the blue-haired liberal you're thinking about. The people who give Colbert his money are Democrats in places like New York City.
Starting point is 00:21:17 And they keep bowing to these people. And if these people believe what I'm saying, they will tell Colbert to stop or they will stop giving him money. They don't. They don't because there are enough people like me who are telling them this. No, because they're scared of what the left does. What do you mean what the left does? We have people who are sending their children to schools
Starting point is 00:21:36 with groomers because they're scared the left will come and attack them. Some people are. These are people who know outright that schools are grooming their kids with weird sexual content and they're like, but if I speak up, my life will be destroyed. The wealthy people don't send their kids to these schools. Yes, they do. They send their kids to private schools.
Starting point is 00:21:53 And the private schools are overwhelmingly the most woke. Which is why they're leaving them in New York State in droves. New York State in droves. So I can't speak for New York, but I thought what you thought, that the rich people were avoiding all this stuff. But we talked with James Lindsay and Christopher Rufo, and it turns out it's actually the most woke, and the highest level of indoctrination is among the rich kids. So the issue is the people funding Colbert. You look at Felicia Sanmez and Taylor Lorenz, the stars of the Washington Post.
Starting point is 00:22:19 100%. They're leading the charge, and you can't convince them because they're zealots. They're in a cult. So you can go to a regular person i do it all the time and i'll say something like what is an assault weapon and they'll say i don't know yeah and i just will calmly talk to people on facebook and often it's fine but the problem is those people are not involved in politics so you can try and earn their vote yes but the core, the people who are watching Colbert, who are following this stuff, they believe, I'll tell you this, man. This is why I told Steve Bannon he's wrong.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Donald Trump lost. Because people I knew who had no business in politics, who know shit all, went out and filmed videos of themselves carrying their mail-in ballots to a mailbox like, I'm doing my part, are you? Yep. And these are friends of mine yep and when i would say like what are you looking forward to with biden they would say fuck you those aren't your friends i know they're not but this was people who were my friends who all of a sudden were like
Starting point is 00:23:18 the nazis have taken over yes they're marching i tell you this when i saw people i grew up with doing the com the red salute in chicago i said something fucked is coming and when my friend who knows jack all about bullshit doesn't care about it all of a sudden is talking about why marx was right and doing red salutes give it 10 years maybe you look at the people who are voting the older generation the boomers i think and when they age out in 10 years and millennials and Gen Z come in, it's going to be fucking balls to the wall psychosis. At that point, I'm done. I've done my bit. And if I haven't moved enough people by then, I have to move people. I just don't want to surrender.
Starting point is 00:23:57 I don't want to surrender to the black belt. So this is my point. People often think that politics is determined by winning hearts and minds it's absolutely not it's by winning children and that's why we see the left in schools doing what they're doing with LGBT curriculum and drag queen story hour and things like that
Starting point is 00:24:15 because they know you don't convince someone to change their mind on politics that's rare you raise them in politics and they never change their minds so what's happening now is we have this poll from the SPLC that shows among older generation, single digits support revolution and assassination. Of course.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Among younger generation, 55 and below, one third and half of young Democrat men are in favor of assassinations, which means it doesn't matter if you go to a liberal boomer and say, vote for me. In 10 years, that millennial is going to be like, time to kill people. So my thing is like – Let's be clear. There is a very important reason why the youth are that way. A very important reason why. Most of them don't have any hope. That's the reality.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Most of them don't have any hope. Think about it. I know some of you are in that age group of 20-somethings, 30s, right, in that area. If you graduated from high school or college around 2008 or so, if you're in that age range, man, recession after pain after recession after pain, of course you feel this doesn't work for you. Of course you feel that way. So now what do most people on the right say for the average right person pull yourself up by your bootstraps where's the left say it's their fault see it's therefore it's the rich people's fault they're the bad guys they're the ones everything's bad because of those people well that feels a whole lot better than i suck
Starting point is 00:25:40 right yep it feels a whole lot better to say those rich people they're the bad guys and you and you're bad because of them versus i have to take responsibility for my actions or i suck that doesn't feel good at all so they give me the right message well if i give them a better message they will take it people tend to want hope but you've got to give it to them in a way they can accept it and take it when people are hopeless that's the best example i can give you is all these mass shootings what these mass shootings actually are are public suicides yes so if they are public suicides these are young men who have nothing to live for this is how is it we have had people on this show on the left and we've had good conversations with them we've taken pictures and we've smiled
Starting point is 00:26:23 and they go right back to twitter and lie their asses off. They don't care. They just don't. It's slow change. However, there's something else, though. And this is how I know this to be true. There are people of their fan base who watched your show who are still watching now. Yep.
Starting point is 00:26:41 There are a lot of people who might have just sang that they used to be woke. Bingo. Yes. Soingo. Yes. So it does work. You don't have to change the individual. You have to change their audience. And you are doing it. I do it too.
Starting point is 00:26:51 When I go on those shows, I get people who come to me. That's why I go on those shows. Am I going to change them? No. But can I get their audience? Yes. So you've gotten it too. I know you have.
Starting point is 00:27:02 I'm not saying you don't you know you you don't speak truth you don't try and correct the record i'm saying that there's a tsunami in front of us yep and what i see as going on is i'm yelling to as many people as possible hey you might want to get to higher ground and i'm saying hey we can fight the tsunami if enough of us stand up against it but you can't i think we can that's That's what HAARP is all about. Fighting tsunamis. That's the weather control modification system in Alaska. Me and you are going to build HAARP.
Starting point is 00:27:31 There we go. I love it. In 2018, I said it looks like Civil War. We're on that track. Everyone said I was nuts. And I was reading articles that were talking about the escalation of the rhetoric and the violence. We had Ryan Long on this show a couple times. The comedian?
Starting point is 00:27:46 Yeah. Oh, I love him. He's great. And it was like the second time he came on, he kind of ambushed me. We were talking before the show, and then as soon as we went live, and I was like, we're here with Ryan Long,
Starting point is 00:27:56 and he goes, so Tim, you told me a civil war was happening. You told me that a civil war was going to come, and then I left kind of freaked out, and what happened? And then I went, on January 6th, 800 Trump supporters stormed into the Capitol to shut down the Electoral College vote. And he went, oh. See, people are in a pot. They are frogs slowly boiling.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And so in 2018, when I watched 300 people boxing and smashing shields and sticks with another 300 other people, I was like, this is, according to history, prelude to civil war. If this continues, civil war will happen that's the word if and it did continue and it got substantially worse now we're at the point where not only did we have january 6th which was really bad i don't know if i would call it an insurrection because even the fed said there was no real aim it was just angry people right but that's all it really is sometimes but we also had texas suing questioning whether the election was illegitimate the supreme court whose duty bound in a under original jurisdiction to hear lawsuits between states refused yep because the supreme court is comprised of cowards only thomas and alito said we have to hear. And now because they refuse to even entertain the concerns of Texas, the Texas GOP has just announced in their official platform,
Starting point is 00:29:12 Biden was illegitimately elected, citing specifically unconstitutional voter changes, which is what their lawsuit was about. And you know what? When I tweeted that, the left said, the voter fraud narrative is a lie, Tim. You're a grifter. I didn't tweet about voter fraud. They don't give a shit. The Young Turks. I said in January, how will you convict someone of trespassing in the Capitol if the police let them in the building?
Starting point is 00:29:36 So the Young Turks made a video telling me that I was the stupidest person making the dumbest argument possible because, of course, they were trespassing. They walked over broken glass. Matthew Martin was then acquitted and I was correct. These people, it's not for me, it's not about left or right. It's about what is true and what is happening. But you have people like the Young Turks of massive prominence and influence their, their, their, their audience size in terms of viewership rivals ours who lie every day for clicks. That is why I view as inevitable because no matter how much I'm like, here is the court document and the proof. I cannot compete. Crowder cannot compete. Joe Rogan cannot compete with a billion views per month intentionally lying to people to make them hate other people. So if Joe Rogan comes out and says this is true to his 11
Starting point is 00:30:26 million viewers per episode, and then across CNN, CBS, MSNBC, ABC, all of these networks, they're getting a collective billion plus views per month. We are but a drop of water in the ocean compared to the lies that are coming out. Colbert lied. He said my staff was detained and then processed and released. No, they were arrested and charged and could be facing further charges, the lies that are coming out. Colbert lied. He said my staff was detained and then processed and released. No, they were arrested and charged and could be facing further charges. But he lies. It's what he does. So in every... There's nothing I'm saying that you're saying that I'm disagreeing with. I'm not saying you're wrong on any of this. My point is simply, I feel at this point, it's not about white pill or black pill.
Starting point is 00:31:08 It's not about what you want to happen or don't want to happen. It's about it is happening. Yeah, but you're saying there's a hurricane. Now, then you mentioned let's get to higher ground. What's the higher ground? The higher ground is basically get out of cities. Yeah, but hold on. There's an important aspect here.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Let's say you're correct, and I'm not saying you're incorrect. Then there's a horrible civil war coming. At the end of the civil war, there's going to have to be reconstruction. Right? That's how it works. Any war is going to be reconstruction. Where are the people going to be for the reconstruction? Whatever that looks like. Does it look like individual cities becoming city-states?
Starting point is 00:31:40 Does it look like individual states reconstituting? Is it a country reconstituting? What is that reconstruction? Spanish Civil War. 70 years of military dictatorship. Could be that, right? But I don't want any of that. That's my point. Let's say I'm completely wrong. All this stuff I'm saying lands on deaf ears. No one pays attention to Larry Sharpe's ideas to keep the left and right happy, ideas to keep the unwoke and the woke happy, ideas to keep the wealthy and the poor happy, which is all my ideas are to keep everybody as satisfied as possible, right? So no one listens to me. But then the revolution comes. You're right. It's a civil war. People are dying. Things
Starting point is 00:32:16 are horrible. Maybe at least at that point, people look at what I said. Oh, yeah. Let me try what Larry said. That stuff made sense. Let's try that now. Now that we wiped the slate clean and we have millions dead. I'm not saying not do that. Let's do that. I think we agree. That's what I'm doing regardless of the outcome. Right. Regardless of the outcome.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I want that to be. I want people to be thinking. I don't want to fall back into left versus right again. We end. We. America has a has a habit of winning a war and losing a peace. Yep. Right?
Starting point is 00:32:47 Or not even winning the war and losing the peace. We constantly lose the peace. I'd like us to win the peace this time. George Washington said that political parties were trash. Don't do it. Yep. And then what happened? Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:56 The second president came in with a political party. They partied up right after that? It's because they did not understand that first-past-the-post voting doesn't work. Yes. As soon as you get first-past-the-post voting, you get a two-party system. Yep. That's it. So, you know, I look at the Founding Fathers, and they were brilliant in a lot of ways with how they formed this government.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Three branches, checks and balances, amazing. But they just did not know everything. So like a rank-choice voting system? I'm a big fan of mine. One of the things that Yang and I agree with completely, we're on the same page totally on this. Ranked choice voting, right? Easier ballot access, right, for people so people can have more parties easier, right? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:33:35 And open primaries for gerrymandered districts. When they're gerrymandered, you have to have open primaries in a gerrymandered district. Unless you can end gerrymandering. Which you can't. Which you can't, right? Right. If you could end gerrymandering, I'm open to not having open primaries in a gerrymandering district. Unless you can end gerrymandering. Which you can't. Which you can't, right. Right. If you could end gerrymandering, I'm open to not having open primaries. You can't end gerrymandering because you need it.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Yeah. So as you have gerrymandering, you have to have open primaries. The issue with gerrymandering is that while it's obviously exploited very often, people – I think a lot of people who talk about gerrymandering, they use this graphic where it shows blocks for districts or for population size. And it's like, yo, people don't live in cubes. They live in like, if you look at cities, you might see a stretch of a district. And it's like, why is the district drawn in that weird way? And it's like, because outside of that is a machine shop.
Starting point is 00:34:15 People don't live there. So they drew the district to encompass where the people live. Often, however, Democrats and Republicans will be like, let's do this so uh yes recently before this uh um election before the census western uh maryland grabbed a chunk of frederick suburbs turning the district democrat huh now they redistricted it and made frederick part of i think montgomery county which basically gives the Republicans their district back. New York State got sued because we were so bad.
Starting point is 00:34:50 The state's so broken, we actually lost a congressperson. That's how bad our state is. People are leaving our state so fast. We lost a congressperson. So we had to redistrict from 27 to 26. Well, Democrats control the state. So they gerrymandered so badly to throw out all the Republicans because they were hoping to help buffer the losses that they think are going to be coming in 2022 by redistricting out three Republicans out of the state. They lost that.
Starting point is 00:35:17 They lost that, though. And now it's going to hurt them. Now they have heavy hitters and Democrats fighting each other. So I'll wrap up with this. I'm not trying to say that evil, bad, it's's a nightmare the world's coming to an end or anything like that i'm just saying the one thing we do that i think is important is try and enlighten and inform as many people as possible that's why we do what we do to get as many people to like like you were mentioned there's a lot of people who maybe if you just tell them the truth they might snap out of it
Starting point is 00:35:44 yep and we've had a lot of those people i don't think that changes the fact, there's a lot of people who maybe if you just tell them the truth, they might snap out of it. Yep. And we've had a lot of those people. I don't think that changes the fact that there's going to be a major constitutional or political crisis. I agree with that. Which involves fifth generational civil war. We could be in it. Something we haven't seen before. But I'll wrap up with this. When the late night show is involved and half the country views them as having done
Starting point is 00:36:06 this wrong thing and they're like we we didn't doesn't matter and correction uh colbert took over for david letterman all right letterman fallon that took over for the other guy larry thanks for hanging out it's been a blast of course thanks again i appreciate it thank you guys thank you so much and for everybody who's a, thanks for being members and helping us expand this operation. We're going to keep doing the work and hopefully more and more people come to their senses. That's what we're trying for.
