Justin Trudeau tells the truckers that you got to get off that bridge or else he threatens to send in the military and the truckers vote. We are not leaving. Joe Biden offered help assistance, or I should say the Biden administration offered to help intervene to shut down these protests. And I got to say, that means it's working and it's obvious it's working and they have no answer to it. They need violence when they don't know how to handle nonviolent civil disobedience from just people sitting in the road. They freak out, they panic, they threaten, and they can't do anything because if the government comes in with a heavy hand against peaceful protesters, it will ignite a mass movement against them. We saw it during Occupy Wall Street. So we're going to talk about all that.

We'll talk about what's going on with the latest Freedom Convoy. And we also have – this is a crazy story. Adam Kinzinger said that if a civil war is to break out, and he thinks it's possible, there will be targeted assassinations. The rhetoric on – I think this was MSNBC. He was saying this on some mainstream TV. It's getting absolutely crazy. So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about foreign policy, Ukraine. And joining us to discuss all of this is Corey Mills.

How's it going, man? Thanks for coming. I'm good. Thanks for having me. Do you want to introduce yourself? Yeah. So Corey Mills, I'm actually running for Congress for Florida 7th District, former combat veteran, business owner, father, husband, and just all around good guy. Right on.

Very simple. Well, there you go. You used to be a contributor on Newsmax. Is there anything else you wanted to add? I did. So I was a media contributor. I was a DOD advisor for the Trump administration, so I was an appointee there. So I used to write a lot with foreign policy stuff over the last 10 years,

in particular like the Middle East stuff. So I did a lot on covering Iran's movements, geopolitical stuff that was going around. I spent over seven years in Iraq. I spent over three years in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I was in Ukraine in 2015 when the Russians were coming across, or pro-separatists, as they like to call it, in Donetsk. So, yeah, traveled around a little bit, seen a little things.

Right on. Thanks for coming, man. We got Seamus. Seamus Coghlan of Freedom Tunes. I run a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes where we create animated political satire. If you guys want to go check some of that out, we released a video two days ago that people seem to be enjoying that I think your audience would love. It's called Fed Talks. Oh, yeah. Very good.

What's up, everybody? Ian Crossland over here. Happy to see you. Corey, great to talk to you, man. Looking forward to this. I was talking to Corey before the show. He's exceedingly knowledgeable in all of the areas we talk about. It's going to be a great conversation tonight. I'm really looking forward to it.

Yo, the threat of the military is back. Daily Mail reports Freedom Convoy votes to stay on the bridge and defy Trudeau's order to clear it by 7 p.m. The prime minister threatened that everything is on the table, including using the military, after a call with Biden to discuss Americans backing the protest. This is an insane escalation. First of all, when I read this morning that Joe Biden contacted Canada, the administration was like, we're going to help you with this, and you've got to shut it down.

I was like, wow. Somebody tweeted that the U.S. should invade Canada. I mean, I know I tweeted that, but someone tweeted it before me. It's a joke, right? We're not going to. But now, I mean, the idea that the U.S. would get involved in a Canadian protest. But like we talked about, it could be payback for the 1819 invasion, right? That's it.

Yeah, Biden was like, no, no chance. Well, I mean, he was around. He saw it happen. That's exactly right. Poor guy. That's exactly right. He was still in the Senate, actually, no chance. Well, I mean, he was around. He saw it happen. That's exactly right. Poor guy. Exactly right. He was still in the Senate, actually, back then. Yeah, exactly.

He's like an example of them trying to shut down something that's trying to shut down something that's trying to shut down something. You know, they're trying to shut down the combos, trying to shut down the government, which is trying to shut down the people's access to their stuff. But I love the fact that, you know, Biden and the Dems, they want to get involved and try and shut down this in Canada. But yet where were they during the 2020 riots when they're out there encouraging it and they're out there saying we should get in the face of politicians and we should – why isn't there more widespread civil unrest? I mean this was the rhetoric they were using back then because it was beneficial to them. And now all of a sudden it was like, no, no, no, no. We have to be interventionists. Exactly. It's because it works.

It's because they say these things and their voter base doesn't change. That people will keep voting for them is astonishing to me. Well, and the fact that we've seen – I mean, look, Secretary Gates, who was the Secretary of Defense under the Obama-Biden administration, he had that live interview. And they asked him about Joe Biden and foreign policy. He said, look, Joe Biden is the only person I know who's been 100 percent wrong on foreign policy. I mean, this is his own Secretary of Defense, right? So now you've got him doing the exact same thing. And Democrats, they constantly talk about interventionism.

I mean, look at us. We're involved in Russia, Ukraine now. We're now looking at getting involved in Canada. But why can't we even secure our own American borders and focus on an America first agenda, thinking about our people first? That's what I have a question about. I think the rest of the American people do as well. Yeah, ever since we started, I mean,

I don't know how you feel about the Federal Reserve and the whole international banking. I don't know if you call it a cartel or a scheme or what, but like the Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland, it goes through the Federal Reserve of New York, the Bank of England and the Bank of Australia. And then basically seems to be, it's a Swiss bank. It's going through a Swiss bank. That's not an American thing. And so I have a feeling they just don't really care about American democracy. American people are a byproduct. Well, I correct people on this, by the way. I hate when everyone wants to say, oh, America is the longest-serving democracy. No.

Correct everyone who says this. We are a constitutional republic. People need to understand the difference between what it is to be a democracy and what it is to be a constitutional republic. We have democratic elections, but we are a constitutional republic. And I always – not to interrupt, but I always like to try and correct people on that because that's a really big discussion. Are we a democratic republic? No, we are a constitutional republic. We are based – if you're a true – what I consider to be an American who is a constitutionalist, who believes in our freedoms, values, and things that we stand for, the things that we're supposed to be protecting, which is why we have a military and things like this, then you understand what it is to be a constitutional republic.

We have democratic processes, but we are actually a constitutional republic. Because within the republic, they use democracy to decide yes or no. Well, we elect our representatives through a democratic process. And then they decide the yes or no through a democratic process again. The reason they do this trick, it's a language trick. It always is, and it works. They keep saying our democracy, our democracy, because they want a direct democracy. That's right.

Because a direct democracy is easy to manipulate. 100%. Look at it this way. Let's say you have 100 people, and there's four different categories of political ideology, A, B, C, and D. You need only win two of those factions plus one to control the system. That means that group A might be in favor of policies one and two. Group B could be in favor of policies three and four. You can come out and advocate against one of the group's interests as long as you can convince another group so basically it's it's kind of you know i don't know if people can follow me on this

one the idea is direct democracy you will have a majority unhappy population and you will be able to control them and they can't do anything about it i'll give you actually here's a simple example this is what i was told about egypt the Second Revolution. The reason it happened was because there was like eight political parties or something like that, and the Muslim Brotherhood made up like 20% of the country, a minority. But because of the way they do their elections, they got the most votes of any group. The country is then ruled by the minority. So it's not the exact same election system. It's the same thing in Iraq, and it's the same thing.

That's why you continue to see this political turmoil because what happens, the very people who try to overthrow the government then say, well, wait a second. That doesn't work through force. We'll create a political party and get enough people that support us in the elections, and then they basically take over a sectarian democracy. Yep. Yeah, we don't want direct democracy. I've seen it play out. It results in the impoverished, marginalized people being severely oppressed. And anyone who claims otherwise is outright lying to you.

And that's why we have an electoral college. That's why we are a republic. And to quote Benjamin Franklin, though it may be apocryphal, he said, democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for lunch. A republic is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. No, I mean, it's true. A direct democracy is really just, I would say, a cleaner, more systematized version of mob rule.

Well, so let's talk about this in the context of what's happening in Canada then. If you've got, you know, so Trudeau says it's a fringe minority, and the media comes out and says, it's only 500 truckers, it's a fringe minority. Now the media comes out and says, it's only 500 truckers. It's a fringe minority. Now, some have said it's 50,000 truckers. I mean, either way, 50,000, it's a lot of people, but not relative to the 30 plus million citizens of Canada.

So is that a problem then? As populations grow denser and denser, you need a smaller, smaller, and smaller percentage of the population to enact change through even nonviolence of disobedience. Now, is that fundamentally wrong? Well, you see it on Twitter.

The density of our interactions have concluded or have condensed online and social networking. We're all packed together now. And you see a small fringe group of psychopaths can completely warp the narrative overnight. That's very dangerous. But it seems like it's also human nature. So I assume we're just going to have to deal with it coming. I mean, this is the challenge of our life, or one of them. I mean, personally, I don't really see that there's a big problem with this.

I mean, look, they're doing a nonviolent protest. It's their right. I mean, look, if this is in America, one of the things that I fought for when I was in uniform was for our constitutional liberties and freedoms, and one of that is freedom of speech and freedom to protest. You know, I'm not talking about the types of quote-unquote protests that the Democrats were labeling when they were thinking was for our constitutional liberties and freedoms, and one of that is freedom of speech and freedom to protest. I'm not talking about the types of quote-unquote protests that the Democrats were labeling when they were thinking

that rioting and tearing down Chanel stores in downtown New York on Fifth Avenue was protesting. I always love that picture where it's the CNN guy with the fire blazing behind him. He's like, well, it's a mostly peaceful protest. A fiery but mostly peaceful protest. Literallyiery, but mostly peaceful protest. Literally, this is what the car is. But I mean, look, at the end of the day, I think that it is very healthy.

And I think that I enjoy the fact when America or any nation rises together to show, just like with us, that we are the majority. We the people, not we the government. And I think that that's something that is really inspiring and something that was worth, you know, it was worth fighting for because that's what we want to maintain is those freedoms, liberties, and rights. It's a good day. You know, constantly seeing the victories of these truckers. There was a, there's a viral post going around. We've talked about it, how, you know, people are saying it's a workers' uprising. Why is the left opposed to this? Because the mask is off. The the left they're fascists they're

overtly fascist they're pro-corporate pro-government they've always been they just didn't like that donald trump was the person in charge of one branch one branch and and he barely could could anything done because of the muck and the mire and the sludge in the swamp not to say that everything he did was good he did some bad things and it wasn't just the left attacking him you had the republicans who were part of the establishment and part of the swamp who were also stabbing him in the back. I mean, the very people who was riding the coattails of President Trump's conservative movement are the same people who were secretly stabbing him behind because they wanted to maintain status quo. And why? Because they were getting paid off by big lobby. They were getting help by corporate.

They weren't really wanting the America first agenda. They wanted the power elite status quo that they had. Yep. I was thinking a few days ago about corruption. And then I thought, I think we need corruption in the system. If you have a system with no corruption, that means it's an authoritarian crackdown on everything. I disagree. I actually think the problem with authoritarianism is not so much that you have a strong authority structure. It's that the people on top don't have to follow any of those rules.

And you know the funny part? A lot of times, it's not even that someone's doing something which is quote-unquote corrupt. What they're doing is they're finding the great areas to continue to live upon. And they basically go, well, I never gave money to X. I gave it to Y, and Y gave it to Z, and Z gave it to B. They try to find these little loopholes. And I think those are the things that government should be spending more time on looking at legislation that, one, improves the betterment of life. I'm all about limited government. I'm all about limited taxes and freedom of speech and our Second Amendment rights, etc., etc. But

at the end of the day, what I want to see is government who are basically shutting down these loopholes and not spending 90% of their time sitting there just voting on continuation bills. Maybe there's evil corruption and good corruption. If you have a computer software program that's a virus and it's destroying everything and you corrupt the virus is that like a good line a bad lie yeah if you corrupt the virus program and it no longer works then you've stopped the virus you did good corruption to a

system i'm not as sure about that no we were talking about this earlier destruction yeah can be a good thing so for instance we're talking about is it right to kill you know even a bug or an animal? Well, sometimes you go hunting because the deer population grows out of control. You cull the herd. Otherwise, they would destroy the ecosystem, and then everyone suffers. So sometimes you have to. And I talked about this with regards to trophy hunting as an example, right?

So I went out, and people were saying how cruel it is to kill these large trophy elks, things like that. What they don't realize is that a lot of times you killing those elks at their prime is the most humane thing you can do because what ends up happening is a younger buck essentially challenges them, kicks them out, and they end up wandering by themselves alone until they end up falling dead. So look, there's something to be said about this. I mean I grew up in a very kind of I guess just above the poverty level you know kind of family and so hunting for us was a staple in order to fill our deep freeze i mean bus buying 150 deep freeze to put on our back patio was a lot cheaper than trying to buy the meat that we would require for the whole year well yeah and also if you if you go hunting what you're doing is refusing to subsidize factory farming in a lot of instances and so people talk all day and night about how cruel we treat our animals in this country.

We're the most. The reality is. Yeah. But but also on top of that, I mean, hunting, if it's an animal you're going to eat is one of the most humane ways to obtain it, because like you said, you're preventing a far more cruel death. I think a lot of people have illusions about what nature is actually like because they've never spent any time in it. Oh, my God.

And it's not beautiful. I mean, it is beautiful. I'll put it this way. It's very painful. Yeah, it's beautiful. Exactly. It's beautiful, but it's not beautiful. I mean, it is beautiful. But that's because people are so removed. It's very painful. Yeah. It's beautiful. Exactly. It's beautiful, but it's very painful. And so, yeah, hunting an animal, giving them a quick death so that you can consume them.

I mean, you have people who literally think that food is just wrapped in a package and sat in a grocery store. I mean, we're so removed from the process of agriculture. I mean, I think that's the biggest thing. And I'm a huge agriculture advocate, right? So I'm one of those guys. I believe that food security and national security goes hand in hand. I think that we need to look at more production domestically. I think we need to support agricultural sector here domestically.

And I think that stopping like drop shipments and importations that are actually, you know, hurting our local farmers is not part of the America First agenda. But, you know, again, people are too far removed from what it is to have a proper food like source. Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm sure you guys may have seen this, but if not, I'll bring it to your attention. Years ago, I believe this is from the 80s. There's a newspaper clipping from that era, which sort of went viral at that time and is still floating around. But it was somebody writing into a newspaper and they said, I couldn't believe that you published an op ed from a hunter. He should have just gone to the grocery store and gotten his food from people who didn't harm animals to get it, which is hysterical.

But, I mean, I hear what you're saying about food security, and I think part of the problem is people in power, again, they know that if the food becomes more scarce, they're not going to be the ones starving to death, which is sort of what I was alluding to earlier, Ian, when I said the issue isn't necessarily an authority structure. It's when the people at the top are above the authority structure and they don't have to follow the rules. I think when they're on the same playing field as the average person, they're much more cautious about which laws they're willing to pass. So maybe a corrupt top is forcing people to become corrupt to change that corruption or whatever. Okay, I see what you're saying. Well, let's talk about another big problem of authoritarianism.

And one of the big problems is stupidity. When you have an authoritarian system that allows really stupid people who lack merit to be on top, they do really, really dumb things and they use force to impose really dumb things that break the system. Which brings me to this tweet by Juliette KM. Juliette is a Harvard professor. Remember that point. And a CNN analyst, CEO of Grit Mobility. She tweets, The convoy protest applauded by right-wing media as a freedom protest is an economic and security issue now.

The Ambassador Bridge link constitutes 20% of annual trade between U.S. and Canada. Slash the tires, empty gas cans, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks. Now, I'd like to just start with some rudimentary math. Slash the trucks. Now, I'd like to just start with some rudimentary math. Slash the tires, empty the gas cans, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks. How do you propose to move the trucks after you've slashed their tires, emptied the gas cans, and arrested the drivers?

And how do you actually start moving and actually shipping things from coast to coast or across the borders if you don't have actual trucks to do it in? She says it constitutes 28% of annual trade because of the truckers wow see this is why i'm you've got to be really careful about despotism and authoritarianism because this is a harvard professor yeah telling people this my response to this was it's no wonder they think two plus two equals five right they can't do basic logical steps it was like it was like joe biden's infrastructure bill it's going to cost us zero and then all of

a sudden it was like how does trillions of dollars cost us zero but that's their math they they want it to sound that way even though they know it's not that way when he was saying us he was referring to like himself and his political allies it's not gonna cost us anything you guys will pay that bill yeah we're taking it from your pocket so it's free for us security up here it makes me nervous talking about national security before the show because it's become such an integral part of our society, this word, this concept, national security. It didn't exist before 2003. No one ever talked about it. They used 9-11 and this war in Iraq to justify, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, and we need to secure you.

Let us secure you. And now they're yelling out, oh, it's threatening my security. Like, come on but but but let me just stress real quick once again the security threat is the trade but it's the truckers who facilitate that trade that she's threatening it's like it's it's a security issue if we can't have trade so go after those who facilitate it yeah i mean what is there ever a thank you is there ever thank you to the people who brought you your food and all of these unbelievably important things that we have to trade to have a sustainable economy no well people are seeing it now though aren't they

i mean look every one of our restaurants or our grocery stores are on forced diets i mean we see the supply chain issues we're seeing ships moored off on the coast that you know they can't actually come on we see like the entire breakdown while pete budaj you know goes on vacation and we can't get everything you know locked down but the but you. I mean, the very people who want to attack those responsible for transporting all of those are saying, you're impacting our ability to supply. Well, let's slice your tag. Oh, well, how's that going to help exactly? It's like an autoimmune disease.

How do you destroy an autoimmune disease? Treating the symptom without recognizing the disease. Well, and I want to make a point here. She's referring to these workers standing up for themselves as a security issue because that makes it more difficult for us to have a functioning economy. So if making it more difficult to have a functioning economy is a security issue, then the most violent psychopaths we're aware of are all in government. Because currently our national debt is at $30 trillion. And as of January 31st, 2022, that is $90,000 of debt for every living person in the U.S. I just want to say this. If there was a group of rioters or radicals who caused so much damage to the country that it totaled $30 trillion, we would lock them up and throw away the key.

Public perception would be completely against them. And yet we praise the state. And when people stand up for themselves and say they're not going to take it anymore, we demonize them and call them the security threat. Well, we don't. The cult does. It's true. And so that's why my attitude's lately just been like, yo, I don't take these people seriously. Especially like if you look at my Twitter as of tonight, I've just been having so much fun. Oh, I've seen it. It's been fun to read. Tim messaged me at 8.30 this morning. I was like, what if we've been taken over by space mind worms?

I'm like, he's in the right mode right now. Let's find out. So Ian's always got good crazy ideas. Ian's like, Tim, roll to 20. I was watching. No, no. It's because I was watching some sci-fi. I can't remember what it was.

I was watching Peacemaker. I haven't seen it yet. So, well, then I can't spoil it for you. Is that John Cena? Yeah, John Cena. Man, I guess this is a partial spoiler if you haven't been watching the series. So you've been warned. I'll give you a few more seconds.

I'm going to say it again. I was watching Peacemaker. I think it's a great show. And a component of the show is aliens taking over people's bodies. So I messaged Ian and I was like, what if the aliens are invading the earth? And that's why they're telling everybody you you got to go out and get the injections. I'm kidding, by the way. Well, just to be fair, the DOD did unclassify.

What was it, last year or something that they did actually have, you know, unidentified flying objects? It was during the riots, during the COVID lockdown. I feel like everyone had bigger issues. They were like, ah, whatever, you know, UFOs. Yeah, got it. I'm ready to go out. I think it might be, well, if it's anything, maybe it's like, have you ever seen chymatics where they vibrate a membrane

with sand on it and then they, depending on the frequency, it makes these crazy shapes. If you look it up on YouTube, it's chymatics. Yeah, sound waves. And I wonder if we're being bombarded by vibration from extraterrestrial sources that are causing us to act a certain way. No, we're being bombarded by ignorance sound waves and that's

mostly coming from the left it's coming from the tv it's coming from cable wifi mainstream media but hold on i so ian i wouldn't call that rolling a one i would say that um i like the analogy imagine you've got you know brian stelter and rachel maddow and they're both on two different tvs with their resonant frequencies of fake news garbage and it's making regular people lose their minds. I have put on, I took like five of my own YouTube videos and turned them all on at the same time and started listening, and it was really soothing.

I highly recommend it, Tim. You guys should all try it. No, I'm good. The more videos, the better. I have a feeling if you put on like a thousand videos, it sounds like music, like ocean waves and music or something. Well, I wanted to go back to a point that you're bringing up, and we discussed it earlier, but talking about this national deficit that we're looking at, I mean, the $30 trillion

plus dollars. And one of the things we were discussing was that a lot of people are incorrectly, and Tim, you mentioned something earlier about using the wrong language. And people are always talking about, oh, we want a balanced budget, we want a balanced budget. But I don't think they understand what that actually means. I mean, that would mean rapid hyper taxation, et cetera, et cetera. I think what people are really trying to say, what we need to control over is one, yes, we need physical conservativity, but what we need is we

need to ensure that our GDP to debt ratio is basically what is balanced. This is modern monetary theory. Like you can spend as much as you want, as long as you're going to create more profits. That's exactly right. And one of the ways that we are able to continue to thrive is, again, to go back to that America First agenda of looking at domestic production, looking at the ideas of controlling like President Trump did where we had oil independency. We weren't approving other people's oil pipelines like Nord Stream 2 for Russia who's economically advancing themselves and ingratiating themselves with Germany who they control all their oil and gas. We had our own independence of this. I mean, you think about it in 2017, you know, in October, we were only importing like 21,000 barrels from Russia. This October, this past one, we imported 216,000 barrels from Russia. So if you look at that, we are literally with China and Russia, China always say is the greatest existential threat, but when you look at this, we're literally funding and economically advancing our adversarial nations

while increasing our spending and not controlling our GDP to debt ratio. I think it's on purpose. Of course it is. Yeah, Donald Trump was like, let's not do this, and Joe Biden was like, let's do it. Also, I just want to make a point here. With respect to MMT, I'm against that for a number of reasons, but one of the primary ones is we sort of saw a de facto MMT with the government printing trillions of dollars over the past couple of years,

and I don't trust them to have any more influence over the economy than they already have. The way the Constitution is written is Congress is supposed to control the money, but instead they offloaded the responsibility to the Federal Reserve when they kind of secretly created it over Christmas. Now, if we gave the control back to Congress, are you saying you'd still be uncomfortable with Congress in control of it? Yeah, well, I'm uncomfortable with MMT in general for a number of reasons. It's a really complicated topic, but one of the issues with it is

they argue we can print as much money as we want, and we won't have inflation as long as the economy grows at an equal pace to the amount of money that we're printing. This is going back to the GDP. This is the GDP to debt ratio. One of the difficulties with that, though, is then you have to depend upon the government to generate the proper work programs in order to get people fully employed while they're printing all of the money this is where i think is the falsity i you

know like president reagan used to say if the scariest words ever is that we're here from the we're from the government we're here to help yeah i mean look the reality is that americans create america jobs yeah you know every time that the government has tried to come in and build our economy or stop unemployment or things like this, they have failed massively and they've only served to do things like bailing out of Solyndra. Remember Obama's Solyndra, the $1.1 billion scheme, basically, which is what it was? Look, the government needs to get out and stop over-regulating American businesses and allow us... That was a great thing about President Trump's tax reform. I know as a business owner

that we were able to take that money and bring on more people in the state of Florida to work for us. And that enabled us to do more with our money. And that's exactly what government is supposed to be doing is enabling you, not over-regulating you. Yeah, absolutely. And this is interesting because you were sort of mentioning earlier an increase in taxes in order to balance the budget. But what a lot of people don't consider is the fact that tax cuts can actually generate more revenue. And the Trump tax cut was an example of that. The media repeatedly said that we ended up with an increased deficit because of those

tax cuts. But that's not true. We ended up with a 5% surplus over what we were expected to have, but we spent 10% more. And that's why we had that money, by the way, which is brilliant. He took some of our extra and additional money, and he plussed back up our oil reserves. Did you see what Biden did when he came back in? He actually sold some of our oil reserves to China. Wow.

Amazing. I like to explain this with a story. Many of you may have heard. Many of you may not because I've told it before, but a friend of mine's dad was explaining to me why raising taxes had hurt tax revenue in Cook County, Chicago, basically. And what happened was they increased the tax by like a fraction of a percent. They ended up losing a ton of money because it's – the example given to me was he's like, I'm a contractor. I'm going to go to Home Depot and I'm going to do a big order. It's going to be thousands of dollars.

At the end of the year, I've got to calculate how much I spend at Home Depot every time I went in for supplies. When they raise the taxes, that could be $20,000. If I drive an extra 10 miles, takes a little bit of time out of my day, I save $20,000, I'm going to do it. That means the revenue is going to a different county. So raising the taxes, they lost money. Yeah, and so left-wingers will often scoff at the idea of the Laffer Curve, and they'll even call it pseudo-economics. The reality is no competent economist on the left or right denies the existence of the Laffer Curve.

Left-wing economists tend to say that parabola peaks at a higher tax rate, so they'll say you can tax as much as 70% in certain sectors, and you won't end up negatively affecting revenue. I think that's ridiculous. Conservatives tend to say it's more at 20%, but interestingly enough, the amount of revenue the federal government has pulled in has generally hovered around 20%, regardless of what the tax rate was. Well, you know, I was thinking about something just with everything that's been going on, especially with the establishment left's opposition to the convoys and everything.

We really are in an era where if one side is for something the other side is against it which is really dangerous it leads us to serious conflict you know uh the alec baldwin story is a good one alec baldwin should have checked the gun this should be a grand slam for the left who says we need gun control and regulations but now all of a sudden they're like alec baldwin did nothing wrong by not checking gun and shooting them in the chest it's crazy so I started thinking about it. I'm like maybe we should roll with it. They protect their own.

Yeah, well, maybe we should roll with it. And then when they say tax the rich, we say tax the poor. Tax the poor. That's what inflation is. I mean, look, inflation is essentially invisible taxation. And we were talking about this earlier. On the poor. On the poor specifically.

I mean, the middle class is the one who takes it the most, right? Because that's what they're looking at. Look, there's one economical principle I can guarantee. And this is the principle why on the poor specifically. I mean the middle class is the one who takes it the most, right? Because that's what they're looking at. Look, there's one economical principle I can guarantee, and this is the principle why socialism doesn't work. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. That's a simple and common thing, all right? But what they continue to do is they think that I can't get certain tax regulations or tax legislations in because we don't have the majority in the Senate. We're at a 50-50, and I can't necessarily get it passed because people won't take it on for the left so what they do is they just continue to print money and it's just taxation through inflation which is exactly what

you're looking for or defunding of our military which we talked about earlier do you see that cnn article that was like inflation is good for poor people and bad for rich people it's it's look it's it's the hunger games for everyone that article uh but it's substantially worse for the poor that's right that article was i'm like watching the hunger games and stanley tucci is sitting up on stage going don't worry inflation is bad for the rich people i'm like if you're rich you can convert your your scary good by the way oh yeah that's scary good if you're rich you can convert your cash into real estate into gold into bitcoin into hard assets and if you're rich, you can convert your cash into real estate, into gold, into Bitcoin, into hard assets. And if you're poor, you can't. Or I should say, you can't. It's just substantially harder.

So every day, your bank account has lower and lower buying power. Rich people are like, about a pain thing. Yeah, exactly. Well, and interestingly enough, inflation is literally as flat as a tax can get. Everyone loses the exact same percentage of spending power off of every dollar they have. You made a point earlier about not being able to multiply wealth by dividing it. And I think there's one exception, and I believe you'll agree with it based on what you've said. But there is one way to multiply wealth by dividing it, which is just through voluntary trade. And people who own their own businesses making the decision to spend in specific places so that their money goes to somebody who's making a product that adds wealth to the economy. But when it comes to the federal government doing it, they're completely inept.

You could, to grow wealth by dividing it, like one way would be like if you're with a bunch of people in a tribe and they don't have shoes, but you need to go hunting, you could give everybody a little pair of shoes of yours that's distributing your wealth. And now they can all go hunting and they're going to be better at it. And so- That's called an investment though. That's exactly right. So giving... And that's also done by the people and for the people. It's not government basically just printing out dollars for their own agendas

and their own points of legislation. Let me give you a better example, Ian, because I do like where you're at on this idea, that you could have a bunch of shoes, give them out, and then everyone is better off. But the problem is, what our government is doing is there's a tribe of people, and one guy has five pairs of shoes, everybody else government is doing is there's a tribe of people, and one guy has five pairs of shoes. Everybody else has one, and there's one guy with no shoes.

So the chief comes in, takes four of the pairs of shoes from the rich guy, and then sells them to pay for Pakistani gender studies. Well, $25 million actually. But remember, technically – and this is what I love. Let me tell you. The Democrats have gotten brilliant about the labeling of bills. And like, for example, the bill you're talking about, the America Rescue Bill, where $25 million goes to Pakistan for gender research programs. How does that help the average American? I know myself, I was sitting at home thinking, God, I really wish my money could go to gender research in Pakistan. Yeah, I was really concerned.

And here's the question that nobody asks about this kind of thing. In some circumstances, you might be able to argue that foreign aid about this kind of thing in some circumstances you might be able to argue that foreign aid is a legitimately charitable thing to do but can you name a single country that went from a developing country to a developed country because the united states government threw enough money at it when has it ever worked well and only that is stand yeah yeah look at that yeah well that's a touchy one i mentioned it to thomas massey i was like why don't we just instead of giving aid borrowing from the federal reserve giving it to another country why don't they just borrow it from this from the reserve but what i should have said is just why don't they borrow it from their own

central bank and leave us out of it and then accrue their own debt why do we have to borrow money they don't have so like in the instance of instance of afghanistan they don't have the resources or wealth to trade with other countries for advanced technology and development well but what about china who just came in there and they're looking to harvest $1.3 trillion of lithium? And who are they going to sell those renewable batteries back to? America. Yeah.

So, I mean, again, all of these countries have, for the most part, something. I mean, people are like, oh, well, what do they have in Kenya or Somalia? Well, they got oil. We saw that in Lake Turkana around that area. So, you know, it's the same thing with Afghanistan. You know, they're like, oh, it's nothing but rocks. Well, it's got $1.3 trillion first off in lithium, not to mention that it's got one of the most mineral rich areas

for rubies and emeralds in the entire country. And who's harvesting it? China. Why don't we invade Alaska? With music? It's kind of the joke we have, you know, we have Jack Posobiec here or like Daniel Turner. They're both like invade Alaska. With music? It's kind of the joke we have. We have Jack Posobiec here or like Daniel Turner. They're both like, invade Alaska.

I mean there's tremendous resources there. Why don't we do it? Why don't we use our own resources? This is the funniest part. We always talk about the left. Again, the left always talks about climate and environmental, things like this. But we're one of the most environmentally friendly nations that you can think of. I mean, we are exceptionally responsible with our harvesting principles.

We are exceptionally responsible. I mean, look, one of the best examples I have, people in Florida were attacking the U.S. sugar and some of these companies saying that they were actually destroying the waterways. They weren't talking about runoffs and spilloffs, anything like that. They pointed it to the fingers of agriculture. What they didn't look at is that this same company overgenerates through their refineries 25,000 kilowatts and gives it back to the actual people.

So we're one of the most responsible, but yet we'll go and buy and import from China, Russia, and all the others who have the least responsible way of harvesting. And then we're okay with that. Again, it's like your food analogy, right? It's like, why would you kill that animal? Why don't you just go to the store where- No animals were harmed. Exactly. I mean, that's exactly what we're looking at that. Again, it's like your food analogy, right? It's like, why would you kill that animal? Why don't you just go to the store where, you know. No animals were harmed. Exactly.

I mean, that's exactly what we're looking at. Agreed, man. We want to prevent ourselves in America from being able to do things which we do more responsibly. But we're going to turn a blind eye to how it's done abroad. It's a big trick. It's a big trick. So a lot of people complained about Trump administration removing environmental protections for companies. What they didn't realize was that was because it was bringing companies,

it was the only way to bring companies back to the United States. So pros and cons. I mean, you can say it's a bad thing. By all means, you're free to say so. I'm not saying it's a good thing. That's why he did it. When we say to a company, you've got to spend more on your minimum wage. When we say we're going to raise your taxes.

When we say we're going to regulate you to make it impossible for you to work. And then we say, but any product you make overseas can enter this country with no taxes, what do you think those companies are going to do? And by the way, I would completely abolish the EPA. Let me just tell you, as a business owner, they literally were, I wanted to create a training facility for one of the law enforcement departments, right? And they had someone who came out and did an environmental study to make sure that there was no ferns or any type of like protected thing out there, right? So they said, oh, no, no, no, you can't build here.

And then all of a sudden out of the blue, they were like, unless you pay the $60,000 environmental credit and then we'll allow you to do it. I mean, look, it's the biggest scheme in the world. I mean, I had to actually ask the EPA for permission to build on my land that I owned that I was donating back to the law enforcement department to be able to train on and then had to pay a $60,000 credit. And in the meantime, glyphosate, there's studies and evidence that it's causing cancer in farmers. But Monsanto somehow is now using it.

Okay, it's an herbicide or it's's a fungicide, and it kills bugs, basically. So they're spraying all these crops with this Roundup. Now they're using it as a desiccant, meaning before the vegetables are ready to be harvested, they're not dry, so they spray it with Roundup to dry them out, and then they harvest it. Talk about unethical practices, agriculture practices. We have this wonderful organic system that you've got to pay massive amounts of money to get your stuff registered through. And then they're desiccating our crops with toxin. I've heard these stories, like you were mentioning about the fee and everything.

I was watching a video where a guy apparently was working on his own land. And then one day someone shows up and said, you have to stop the development of your property because we saw a bird. They said – I've even had them have to come – you had to pay money to destroy and properly return the land back to what it was prior to your building. Wow. Because they saw a certain kind of tortoise in the area. Or in Florida, for example, not only do you have to go through the EPA roundabout, but then they have to do an ancestral study to make sure that there was no Native Americans who had at one point – I mean they find an arrowhead or something. They're like, oh, no, no, no. This was an ancestral land.

Therefore, you can't build. Yeah, but like everything is. Agreed. That's exactly right. So it's either there's reasonable development or there's none. I think reasonable development of any land includes real environmental protections. Agreed. Obviously, we don't want you dumping waste in the rivers and things like that.

When you're building a septic system, you'll need the – The pits, et cetera. What is it called? What's the field? The leach field. You'll need a leach field and all that stuff. You've got to make sure it's not running off onto someone's property. But when they can abuse their power, the government does.

And they are. You've got the neonicotinoid pesticides, which are now – there's evidence that it's disrupting. The bees are getting it in their system, and then they can't find their way, and then they die off, and they think that's causing colony collapse disorder. It's really irresponsible for the Environmental Protection Agency to be giving Monsanto this kind of power, which is now Bayer. Bayer purchased Monsanto because they wanted to get rid of the bad press from the name. That sounds like a 20 to me.

Thanks, Tim. Well, this is what people fail to realize. Whenever you have these large government agencies coming around to regulate any sector of the economy, they just end up in the pocket of the highest bidder. So, of course, Monsanto is going to get away with everything they're doing. And then, for some reason,

when you criticize the big corporations that are ripping us off and the government that's selling us out to them, you're the fascist? No, no, no. Now you're a domestic terrorist. Oh, yeah. Remember, I mean, they up the ante on this now. I mean, even poor parents who are just wanting a balanced curriculum in their neighborhoods are domestic terrorists. I mean, this has been something that they're just throwing out. And this is why, though, I think Virginia turned red, and I believe this, because kitchen table issues. You know, parents have a right. You know, I'm a father, so I've got

two boys, 17 and 7. And so I can tell you right now, do I care about my child's curriculum? You're damn right I do. And these teachers unions are running like the EPA or any of the other big government, and they're just saying, well, it's our way or the highway. And if you oppose it, well, you're a domestic terrorist. Yeah, that's what I like is when you oppose the government and then all of a sudden you're considered evil because you oppose – Or you're put on a watch list. Yeah, a government. It's a fascist government.

Well, let's – Yeah. Let me pull up this next story now that we're kind of getting into the thick of things here. We got this story from Newsweek. Targeted assassinations coming if civil war breaks out adam kinzinger adam kinzinger has uh spoken on this issue he spoke with i think cnn uh and the view and he said that there's a real possibility of civil war in this country and it's coming from a guy who is i wouldn't even call him a republican at this point

but it's kind of weird because what left and right don't mean anything anymore whether you're a democrat or republican is also mostly meaningless because you could be an establishment uniparty Republican. You could be a progressive Democrat or a corporate Democrat. This is just a guy who hates Trump. He made a very, very good point though. He said people are separating into tribes. People don't live in the same realities anymore. And he believes that if there is a civil war, it's going to be targeted assassinations. That's going to be the level of conflict we see. I certainly hope not. But for all the people who, you know, even to this day, still these establishment leftists want to mock me saying that I'm crazy for bringing up this idea of civil war. It's really funny now when I'm,

you know, trolling on Twitter and I see them posting like, you know, I used to make fun of him because he wouldn't stop talking about civil war. But now the Guardian and Newsweek and even the New York Times are talking about it. So like, I don't know, man, maybe something's happening. It's like, yeah, maybe I wasn't wrong to say, I feel like we're heading in this direction. When you've got people that are choosing their politics based on whether they hate you or not, like the Alec Baldwin thing or the Freedom Convoy, the workers of the world are uniting and the left opposes it. You know, this makes literally no sense. The people who literally say that they are for the blue collar is exactly the ones who are trying to constantly attack the blue collar. It's, it's, it's, it's backwards. And look under president Trump, the one thing I've talked about, and I talked about this with

Congressman Jim Jordan, you know, the Republicans were looked at as kind of the wine and cheese party for the longest time, right? What president Trump did was he brought it back to where the Republican Party is about the beer and blue jeans party. Yeah. We are the party of the American worker. We are the party of the blue collar worker. And that's what I love to be a part of. That changed so fast in my lifetime that the Republicans became the blue collar party.

Well, you know why? Democrats are white collar. What the heck? The Republicans and the Democrats were both corporate shills. The Democrats feigned supporting the working class. When Donald Trump stormed the gates, the establishment Republicans fled the Lincoln Project. They're Democrats now. I mean, they claim they're principled Republicans.

But once they've accomplished their mission, we're going to make sure Trump doesn't get reelected. They come out and go, donate to us anyway because Republicans are bad. Or to our sex scandals that went on in Lincoln Project. Let's ignore those. Let's ignore those, right? But with what Kinzinger is saying, we also have another article from The Guardian where they said we're in the civil wards. It's here. We've had The New York Times saying it, Ray Dalio, a billionaire, has come out and said it again yesterday,

that if you look at legislation in this country, Republicans are being accused of voter suppression. Democrats are being accused of stripping voter security. Neither side agrees the other side is working honestly and legitimately. I don't think it matters who's right. You're sitting at home, you think, well, I know which side is right. We we're right i'm right that's not relevant to the point the point is if neither side agrees they both think they are right it doesn't matter it's kind of like fighting is going to start democrats are looking at the ship and the captain is in the ships a ship and it's sailing but the captain was psychopathic it was donald trump and we can't have a psychopath piloting the ship the republicans are looking at the democrats as the ship is shooting explosives in every direction killing everything around it.

But so it doesn't – they're not less – it's less about the captain to them. But it's – No, no. I think that we're at the political civil war. I don't think – and it's spiraling out towards the American people. So what's happening is that President Trump came in and he kind of unveiled that there is corruption and all this on both sides. And he wouldn't be part of the swamp. He wouldn't be part of the establishment because, one, he can't be bought and he didn of unveiled that there is corruption and all this on both sides. And he wouldn't be part of the swamp. He wouldn't be part of the establishment because, one, he can't be bought and he didn't need it.

But the thing that we're seeing right now is where people have woken up. And it's now where we have identified even more strongly the two-party system and we're on opposing pendulums. It's now swing extreme left, swing extreme right, and the people are reacting to that. But, you know, here's the issue, and to address what you said, Ian, as well, it's not going extreme right. It's going center right, far left,

center right, far left. If you look at Pew's research on this, from 1994, there's a scale from zero to 10, zero being far left, 10 being far right. In 1994, the Democrats were a five. They were centrists, and the Republicans were a six being far right. In 1994, the Democrats were a five. They were centrists and the Republicans were a six center right. In 2004, the Democrats moved over, I think, to a four jumping one point

to the left and Republicans jumped about a point to the left to a five. Republicans are at a 6.5 right now. They're a half point more right wing, more conservative than they were in 1994. But Democrats jumped from five to a two, meaning they're three points further left. The jump is absolutely from the left, not the right. No argument that they're the most radical. Zero argument on that. I mean, and the problem is that we have to try and balance the scale as conservative. I tell people all the time, like, look, it's like this glass, right?

So I'm a conservative. The Republican Party is nothing more than a repository for the the conservative ideals that i have the problem is that we have too many republicans like adam kensinger who claims to be a republican who are not willing to protect and not willing to actually help to conserve those values that are actually in there that makes us republicans that's that's the difference or americans or americans what's the what the genuine that's what it is it's's Americans versus anti-Americans now. That's what it comes down to. It really is.

And I think it's funny because it's the old trope of Glenn Beck or Hannity. They hate America. And I'm like, well, they really do. I don't know. I don't want to fall into that brainwashing. Bro, bro. I don't think there's a they, man. I think we all want different – we all love America and want it to be different.

Technically, you're right. There's no they in that when we refer to the left, it's a very, very large group of different political factions with shared common interests. But it's not completely unified. Corporate Democrats obviously don't want communism. The communists don't like the corporate Democrats, but they unify around certain issues. The same is true for Republicans, center right, traditional conservatives, religious folk. You've got the post liberals who are now finding themselves with Republicans. And that's a pro-choice, pro-life disagreement.

But the issue I really do think comes down to a few fundamental issues. Do you like this country or not? Do you think this country is inherently evil or not? Do you believe in the Constitution? Are you authoritarian or libertarian? There is a they. When we say that, I'm referring to people who outright don't like the Constitution. So constitutionalists and –

I don't like to say anti that because of the codependency or counterdependency that it evokes. Left and right are two words that mean basically tribe one, tribe two. Call it tribe A and B. How about this? It's true. We don't want anyone to be lesser, so we'll say tribe one and tribe A. Nice. Everybody can be whatever. But when I look at Adam Kinzinger and he comes out and he says there's going to be targeted assassinations, you know, the right has lost their mind or whatever.

I'm like, bro, you're the one on the January 6th committee issuing these subpoenas and trying to put the former administration in prison. Yeah. I'm not talking about the investigation. I'm talking about filing subpoenas against former staff members and threatening them with prison because they refuse to comply with what what the other side views is unconstitutional well let me just let me just ask this question though you know he's acting like this is something new are we not calling the incident that involved uh representative steve scalise a targeted assassination yeah i mean we had a left winger who came out and literally shot and nearly killed Steve Scalise

almost killed a bunch of people that's right my point is that he can't say that it's just now for me this is Adam Kinzinger just trying to stay relevant for me this is Adam Kinzinger trying to position his next job next to Whoopi Goldberg or on the CNN

he may be late to the party but he's not wrong when Rand Paul got attacked and he lost a piece of his lung, they celebrate it to this day. They thought it was hilarious. Not every single Democrat. No, but a lot of them. When Donald Trump was attacked at the White House and they tore the barricades down, set fire to a guard post and torched the church and Trump was ushered into the emergency bunker, they laughed at him in the corporate press. The problem with they talk about insurrection attacking the white house and breaking down the barriers and assaulting federal agents i

think that was like threatening the president yeah and they laughed to this day they laughed that they did it right so so when they come out and they cry oh it's an insurrection i'm like yo i literally don't care what you think y'all are celebrating you know i'll say this your booze mean your booos mean nothing. I've seen what makes you cheer. Never a more apt statement. I know it's a joke from Rick and Morty, but it's completely applicable. These people cheer when they try to burn down a church in front of the White House and try to breach the barricades and injure federal officers, set fire to a guard post, and then they boo when right-wingers riot at the Capitol.

Yo, I don't care about who's right or who's wrong. The fact is both sides are engaged in an escalation of hyperpolarization. And I think – I don't see any way this comes back together. It's sort of – I think that we need to teach the children. We need to start teaching the kids now because what's going to happen is they're going to laugh at other people's trauma violence and see someone someone else get hurt a political rival and they'll laugh and then kids will see that and as they grow up these people don't realize they're laughing at their political rivals getting hurt but if kids see that and then decide they don't like you and you were the one that was hurting that laughing at that other person they're going to start doing that to you and laughing at you it's going to become a cycle it's already happened there have been kids who have been brutally beaten

for not wearing masks we need to help the. We really need to seize control of the narrative and communicate to these children. Well, this is the thing. It's not just about the radical left. That's a huge part of it. And there is absolutely no doubt that the left is far more radical than the right is currently. But it's also a question of how insane the center has gotten in what is just considered normal, moderate politics. The fact that for the past two years, children have been forced to wear masks in school, and anyone who's spoken out against that or said, I'm not going to cover my face, has been perceived as if there's some kind of maniac who wants to go around spreading viruses and killing people. Even though, and I know we can't get into some of the details on the CDC here, but the problem is the center has gotten so crazy. And when you look at where they're at now, you start to peer into the past and realize things have been far outside of anything even remotely reasonable for a very long time.

For example, well, it's partisan. But when you look at the things the Democrats and Republicans are willing to come together and agree on, they're all really terrifying, too. It's the reasonable center that tells us that we have to go to these wars in the Middle East that cost trillions of dollars. It's the reasonable center that told us that we need to spend all of the money and raise the debt ceiling. And now we're $30 trillion in debt. I don't think so. I don't think so. You don't think it's the reasonable center? I don't think it's the reasonable center. I agree with Tim on this. I don't think it's a reasonable center at all. Well, I'm using reasonable here. It's not.

No, no. Nancy Pelosi and Rachel Maddow, the people advocating for war are not reasonable centrists. They're corporatists, Democratic, uniparty, whatever. No, yeah. No, exactly. My point is that represents the position of the status quo. That's not some radical position that's outside of the system. That's what I'm saying when I'm referring to the radical center.

I'm saying these are the things that the left and right agree upon. And the things that they have in common are actually in many cases way more insane than the things that separate them. I'll tell you what's very interesting to me though. And I posted an article recently about this. When President Trump came into office, everyone argued that he was going to launch the next World War III. And this is a guy who literally could not have gotten us to a safer position. I mean, created the Abrams Accord, started creating an Arab coalition to be able to fight their own wars so we didn't have to be interventionists, started looking at drawdowns so that we could get out of Afghanistan and Iraq

and all these other areas and start focusing on the America First agenda. Meanwhile, think about it. It was the Democrats who were actually saying this. Now, where are we right now? We're literally deploying troops to be able to go into ukraine and other areas to fight against russia creating the cold war or the 1920s all over again and these are the exact people who are pointing fingers at the republican party yeah it's insane when they were complaining about him potentially starting a civil war they were just upset that they weren't

going to get to do it first if you ever did well good thing for them they actually were responsible for a lot of it. Yeah. I feel like... Exactly. The night is always darkest before the dawn, man. I'm hoping so. I've been listening to Dave Smith. He went on Rogan a couple days ago and was talking about the war in Yemen

and about the United States' relationship with Saudi Arabia. And Saudi is one of the most gruesome regimes in the world. It's a dictatorship kingdom, and they treat people, their women, horribly. And yada, yada, yada, yada. It goes onada goes on and on but they're just bombing farms in yemen fishing boats and murdering people murdering generations of humans and the u.s is selling them weapons to do it well maybe not to do it they're selling the weapons and they're doing it though you're failing to understand though also what the proxy militias from Iran, the Houthis, are doing.

I mean, they literally shut down and attacked Saudi Aramco. They actually went in there. They're launching missiles. Last week, they just launched another missile. It landed in the UAE that killed some of the people there. So, I mean, the bottom line is that the people that Saudi are actually fighting against are the Iranian proxy militias that were down in the Gulf of Aden and all those other areas. While I agree with you, we necessarily shouldn't be involved in that war. And that's a war between the Middle East and that region and for their own stability and things like this.

And again, I'm anti-interventionist. You know, the idea of being able to support allies or supporting the others. I mean, this is one of those areas where it starts to become a quagmire. How deep do you get in? But I'll tell you right now, though, it's not like Saudi was just going out there and saying, oh, well, here's some random farmers. We're going to kill them. No, no, no.

These were actually Houthi rebels who had actually launched attacks and who were actually killing Saudis and killing UAE soldiers and things like this over in the area and are still launching missiles and rockets into Abu Dhabi still today. So you're saying they're firing missiles from Iran and then they're targeting Yemen? They're actually firing them from Yemen and launching them into other areas. Are we sure they're not false flags? Oh, we're 100% sure. Also, so here's the thing. So the problem, and I just want to mention this. You're absolutely correct that the Houthi rebels do a lot of horrible things.

They have child soldiers. But the problem is whenever you look at any conflict in the Middle East, you're going to see a lot of evil on both sides. And there's truth in that with respect to any conflict you see, even if you're rooting for a particular side. War crimes are common, unfortunately. But I will say this. There is a blockade preventing food from entering Yemen, and tens of thousands of people are starving to death.

Civilians have been made the target of the warfare here. Agreed. But that's always the case. You always have to collateral damage. Going back to your point, do you have proof? Well, of course you do. Look at the UN Security Council. Look back when you either had Ban Ki-moon, who was the actual general secretary, or even Gutierrez,

where they actually caught the Iranian ships who were actually shipping in mid-range ballistic missiles into the Houthis, which is a violation of Resolution 2231 or the JCPOA. So there is factual proof where the Iranians were actually supporting the Houthis to be able to launch attacks against Saudi Arabia. So that's not anything that's even up for debate when it's actually been caught by international... So this is a good example. The story Ian is telling, the talking point about Yemen. You got to be careful about your sources. And so I want to bring this back to a domestic

issue that's really difficult to talk about. And this is a story of Amir Locke. So we have this story from progressive.org. Someone's holding a sign saying Amir Locke was lynched by MPD on 2222. Twin Cities protesters are mourning and marching for Amir Locke. For those that aren't familiar, this is a video of a no-knock warrant, body camera footage. Police enter an apartment, start yelling. Within nine seconds, they kick a couch. A man sleeping under a blanket with a gun emerges, holding the gun, proper trigger discipline. And within a split second, he's shot and killed. Now, the challenge here is upon holding the gun, proper trigger discipline, and within a split second, he's shot

and killed. Now, the challenge here is upon watching the video, upon hearing the official story that's come out, it sounds like the police lied about what happened. The official report was that they entered the home, the person in question pointed a loaded gun, shots were fired, and then he died. To make it sound like this guy, Amir, actually fired the cops. Now we're hearing from the family he had a concealed carry permit for this gun. Now we're seeing posts all over Reddit where they say, why isn't every Second Amendment advocate furious about this? Where's the NRA? I mean, this is a legal gun owner sleeping on a couch. A no-knock warrant. He wasn't the subject of the warrant.

And I'll tell you exactly why. I don't believe you. Now, if this guy, when I watched this video, my immediate reaction was, this looks like the cops were wrong. This guy was not the target of the warrant. He was sleeping, as is right, with his gun. Probably dumb, but he's allowed to do it. He never pointed the gun at anybody. Within nine seconds, they shot and killed him just because he was legally carrying a weapon. The problem is, left, you lie about everything over and over again. So now I see a video that should have my blood boiling and I'm like, well, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. You expect me to come out and march alongside you over this issue. You expect people who defend gun rights to believe you after every lie we've already been through from the beginning of Black Lives Matter with Trayvon Martin, with what happened in Ferguson

that I personally witnessed to to Ahmaud Arbery, to George Floyd, every single lie. And the same lawyers like Ben Crump are involved in this one so i'll tell you this i don't like it i watched the video looks bad but i'm gonna wait i'm gonna wait because you guys lie all the time non-stop and i'm not falling for it ever again nice one dude thanks for bringing this up i gotta say i think you pretty much hit on all the talks on that one and i'm like you all right moving on well well no i mean i mean look here's the bottom line does he have a right to be able to possess a firearm? Absolutely, because I'm a supporter of constitutional carry. I believe that

it's not something that should be provided to us by governmental rights. It was already put into the Constitution, and I'll go a step further and say it's an inalienable right for us to be able to have defense. However, I gotta say, as a person who has been deployed multiple times, who has served overseas, I can't say outside of

I've always had my rifle within an arm's length away from me, or I've always had a pistol which is in the holster, something like that. I can't say that it's not a bit odd that a gentleman actually slept with himself in trigger discipline under the blanket and rose. So again, not commenting on it. Does he have a right to do it? Absolutely has a right to do it. Let's see what the actual research and the investigation finds.

Exactly. Yep. My thoughts on this, along with many other instances, if you're an American citizen, I don't care about your race. You have a right to keep and bear arms. I love it. I'm simultaneously getting criticism over these, more so the gun rights thing. Because I said every American has a right to own nuclear weapons under the Second Amendment because it says arms, keep and bear arms. Nuclear arms are weapons.

I went on to then say that it would probably be very easy to amend that. Most people probably want that changed, and I'm not advocating for people to have nuclear weapons, but of course, far be it from the lying establishment media and left-wing activists to be honest about what my opinion was. So how are you going to criticize me that people, you know, they're saying that I would not support gun rights for minorities when you're also simultaneously criticizing me for saying people should be allowed to have nuclear weapons? No, the issue is this guy is allowed to have his gun. He's allowed to sleep. He's allowed to sleep with his gun and he's allowed to hold his gun in his own home.

And I got to tell you this, when it came to Brandon Taylor's boyfriend and they kicked his door in, that was found to be a lawful shooting. When Brent Taylor's boyfriend opened fire on the cops, if you kick someone's door in and they're not aware of what's going on and they open fire, that was found to be justified self-defense from a legal gun owner. So for this guy to be killed within nine seconds of an own knock warrant, I think it's really, really, really really awful but i also think i'm probably being lied to and so the last thing i'm going to do is in any way support people who lied before lied again lied again and in all honesty probably lying now you cried wolf too much and i'm not interested in hearing it anymore sorry did they say that he pointed the gun well how did they phrase that i can't remember exactly what the cop said but they said something like he was an

unarmed man was was seen shots were fired, and then he died. Because he did point the gun at the ground. He didn't point it anywhere. Well, he pointed it at the ground. No, he didn't. I thought he got up and held it proper discipline. He's just holding it forward when they started shooting him. He's laying on a couch, and he sits up holding it.

Expecting trouble for sure because he's sleeping with his gun. He's probably expecting something just in case something bad, someone comes in. That's not relevant. It's not with his gun. He's probably expecting something just in case something bad, someone comes in. That's not relevant. It's not relevant, exactly. And to be completely fair, if you're living in some of these cities like New York, for example, where criminality has just gone through the roof or Chicago or any of the rest, and you live in kind of a less affluent

area, and you feel that crime is a potential threat that could happen to you at any moment, hey, why wouldn't you have the right to defend yourself? However, again, I'm like you. I don't want to catch myself into this where we don't know the facts. We don't know the reason for entering. We don't know the guy's background. We don't

know whether or not a surveillance team had watched him enter that building just a moment ago and maybe he had committed something earlier. Again, I don't want to speculate when there's actual continuing investigations on things, but the one thing that is without debate is that under the second amendment right everyone has a right to bear arms and so here's the issue i remember when

the george floyd thing happened and i made like five or six videos where i was like this is appalling this is a problem we have with policing they shouldn't have done this then the body camera footage comes out and i was like boy was i wrong the dude's fighting the dude's on drugs the dude says put me on the ground several times and then i I'm like, yeah, I think the cops did bad. But the initial reaction was I thought these cops killed this guy. Now it's manslaughter. Now it's like, okay, they should not have done this. Of course, we got murder conviction out of that.

Then the Ahmaud Arbery thing. I mean, that is a glorious piece of deceit, deception, misinformation. That Ahmaud Arbery was jogging in that neighborhood is one of the most laughable lies I've ever heard. He wasn't. And I didn't even learn this until we had on a couple lawyers who had been following the case. And they said, no, the prosecution even said he was a burglary suspect. That's not in dispute. And I was like, wait a minute.

What? That's not in dispute? The prosecution even acknowledged that? Yes. I was like, wow. Boy, they lied to me. That's all they do. He was jogging in work boots through a construction site 20 miles from where he lived.

Yeah. But again, though, this is where identity politics works for the left. So that lie was going to be spun in a way that was going to benefit them in some way. I mean, it's the same thing that right now I was just commenting on. Again, identity politics for the left has become their bread and butter. I just hope that the right doesn't get caught in this idea of trying to follow suit. The reason I brought this up following the Yemen point is that we hear a lot, this talking point, about the crisis in Yemen. And I'm at the point where I'm just like, yo, unless I read it and research it and know what's going on, I just don't believe it anymore.

Hearing it from Dave Smith is not proof positive. I did hear this. No, to be fair, I did a bit of research on Yemen for an educational cartoon we were creating about it. And it is really horrible. I mean, there are some estimates from data that's been extrapolated from UNICEF and different historic studies they've done on malnourishment in the region. That says as many as 85,000 children may have starved to death because of this. And actually, that's like the midpoint. They said it was between 60,000 110 000 based on their estimates well and bear in mind

that that there was already issues with yemen i mean they were already at a risk of running out of natural like fresh water to begin with that was already a problem but from a you know looking at it from someone who was literally looking at terrorism counterterrorism for the longest time in the middle east and was a analyst for over 10 years and looking at terrorism, counterterrorism, for the longest time in the Middle East, and was an analyst for over 10 years and looking at these areas, I can tell you if you looked at the AQAP, where the Al-Qaeda Arabian Peninsula and where the Gulf of Aden and those areas started spiraling out of control?

Under the Obama administration. The Obama administration, it was a small contained pocket in AQAP. He started launching a drone strike zone, and they started growing, growing, growing, growing, and then Iran got involved, started adopting all the houthis and started getting these riled up and then you started utilizing again it's like you and i right if we got in a fight i don't want to fight in my house i don't want to fight in your house because we're going to destroy something let's go fight in his house that's what iran that's what iran and saudi

arabia continue to do obama wanted the instability absolutely he wanted syria to fall so he could build our pipeline here and there's also a good argument to be made that he wanted Syria to fall so he could build our pipeline to Europe. There's also a good argument to be made that he wanted to placate the Saudis because of the nuclear deal that was done with Iran. It's all very complicated. But I will say this. It's true that Yemen was, if I'm not mistaken, the poorest country in the Middle East before this began. But that said, placing a blockade around them when they were already having trouble getting water is absolutely egregious. I don't want to completely divert into talk about Yemen.

I was just bringing up the fact that, you know, we've heard that a lot. And I'm at this point in my life where I'm just like, if an activist comes to me, an activist, and says something about someplace, I'm going to be like, dude, you're an activist. I'm not going to believe it. The reason I brought up Yemen is because we were talking about making concessions to your military. It was kind of the conversation about maybe your military opponents because you want that, we want this, we don't really agree, but we're going to look the other way for you, you look the other way for us. It's a marriage of convenience. We got Saudi selling our oil and US dollars

around the world, guaranteeing that our US dollars still have some value, basically. They're like our front man. If we betray them, they're going to stop. The issue is, again, not to get us into a talk about how horrible the sods are. What's going on with Yemen, what I'm trying to talk about is how the media has lied and manipulated us into foreign wars,

how the media has lied and manipulated people into rioting and burning down their own cities, and how they're continuing to do it, and we have the potential for a very real riot right now. I'm already hearing scuttlebutt that there's potential riots this weekend over what happened with Amir al-Haq. It's starting to get warm out. It was 65 degrees out here today. When it's warm, people riot. When there's conflict, there's riots. But let me pull this up right here.

I have this poll from Civics I love showing. Black Lives Matter. Opposition support. General sentiment. People may start rioting this weekend over over a mere lock being shot and killed by police. And you know what? I don't want people to get hurt. I don't want there to be riots. I don't want people to riot. I don't want people to get shot by cops. But you know what, Democrats, establishment media, you if you do this, you will face such a reckoning, man. Take a look at this.

Before, this is among all voters. Is this all voters? No, this is independent voters. Sorry. Before George Floyd died, support for Black Lives Matter among independent voters was at 41% and opposition was 28. After George Floyd died, 51% of independent voters supported Black Lives Matter. Then the riots happened and the support started to completely crash. Then Jacob Blake got shot. After the Derek Chauvin

trial, Black Lives Matter support dropped dramatically and opposition rose dramatically. Right before, check this out, right before the Ahmed Arbery verdict, opposition was going down and support was going up. And then right after the verdict, opposition went up. So these people want to come out and they say, oh, Ahmed Arbery and these people, he was jogging and they lynched him. Why do independent voters now oppose you more following that verdict? Because people were lied to.

Correct. No, that's the heck where I was going to go. It's because people were lied to. Correct. No, that's the heck of where I was going to go. It's because people were lied to. I mean, look, and at the end of the day, no one, yes, if you find something that's wrong, sure. Let's go ahead and we're a nation of laws. I think that the lawlessness that the left basically promotes with these quote-unquote protests, which are actual riots,

no one can get behind that, and that loses support. And especially whenever there's some type of a jury that sees the case and actually renders a verdict on it, they feel that justice has been rendered. And so the continuation of lawlessness doesn't actually increase the awareness to your cause. It actually denigrates it because it's just lawlessness justifying lawlessness. If Democrats want to preserve whatever votes they might get, they need to come out right now and say, do not protest.

Do not riot. You mean like President Trump when he said, go home peacefully, but yet somehow that was inciting violence? Dude, Trump was up against the military industrial complex. He had a challenge. These guys are on the side of that thing and they're trying to manipulate the voters only.

Trump was trying to manipulate everybody and not in a mean or cruel way just manipulate in general. Trump was trying to be the voice of the people and people didn't like it because they thought that how can a billionaire be the voice of the people? But the reality was that that's exactly what he was trying to do. He was trying to build the middle class. He was trying to hold our adversaries accountable. He was trying to stop our trade imbalances because

I mean the guy is the art of negotiation and he came from the art of negotiation to the art of peace deals. I mean, you look at Abrams, look at all the different things that he was doing. So, again, he did more in four years than most do in eight. It's remarkable how Donald Trump gets attacked for that by the establishment left. Once again, they're like, well, these deals are actually bad. It's like, you know what, man? We are truly living in a period of psychosis.

But let me just stress, I love civics because you can see that independent voters... This is brilliant, by the way. Oh, yeah. They tend to reflect Republicans. So when we talk about which side is truly right,

well, independent voters and Republicans agree with each other for the most part. I think it's fair to say, at the very least, the majority of people disagree with the establishment Democrat worldview. And I think it's fair to say, based on simple research, like they lied about all these things. Hands up, don't shoot. Talk about a lie. You know that story, Ian?

That Michael Brown had his hands up and that Darren Wilson, I think was the name of the cop was that cop shot and killed him and they started marching around the hands up hands up don't shoot and then the obama's report comes out showing he didn't have his hands up in fact he rushed the car eric holder's justice department he rushed the cop and he reached for his gun he literally committed suicide are we talking about the same eric holder who was responsible for fast and furious which is actually putting weapons to the hands of cartels that are being utilized against our CBP today. So if the Democrat voter wants to believe those lies and live in Wally world, by all means, go ahead and do so. But if they want to get violent and start fighting, as they've been doing, we've got

a very serious problem. It was not a right-wing Trump supporter who went into Portland and shot and killed a Bernie supporter. It was the other way around. That's right. It was a Black Lives Matter supporter with a tattoo on his Portland and shot and killed a Bernie supporter. It was the other way around. That's right. It was a Black Lives Matter supporter with a tattoo on his neck who shot and killed a Trump supporter walking down the street. Well, I mean, think about it.

Look at the Antifa.com website. Where does it actually take you to? Well, during the campaign, when you would type in Antifa.com, it would actually take you over to one location. But my point is, though, we know who the intolerant actually support, and they support Democrats more than they support democrats more than they support the conservatives i mean we've seen that time and time again the liberal economic order no no to be fair antifa.com was likely bought purchased by someone on the right

and then redirected it to what was it joe biden well it was it was done by joe it was it was supporting biden harris and now it actually auto links to the whitehouse.gov cory when you're in the military what was it like knowing that we're part of this liberal economic order and the military industrial complex is out there and like, but it's still important. I understand like the value of the U S military. We really can make the world a better place. We can preserve a lot of goodness,

but what was it like psychologically? Well, I gotta be honest with you when you're serving in the military, I'm not thinking about the industrial complex. I'm not thinking about GD Lockheed Martin or any of the other, you know, when we're going through these military trainings and we're sitting here looking at cohesiveness and we're looking at our brothers to the left and right of us, you're not thinking about any of these things.

You're only thinking about keeping one another safe. You're only thinking about the fact that, you know, again, I tell people this all the time. It's not the boots. It's the suits. You know, whenever something goes wrong and these wars are being volunteered and, you know, voted on, it's not us who are sitting in the military who are actually voting on these things. We're just out there to basically follow orders and be able to try and go ahead and do what we thought is the right thing, which is to provide protection for our constitutional liberties and freedoms or to help free the oppressed. The old special forces de oppresso liber mentality. So as someone who was in the military, I wasn't thinking about the industrial complex. I wasn't thinking about these generals looking at

their million dollar boards after they get done retiring. I was thinking about making sure that my guys who are in my team were going to be safe on the ground. That was it. People complain about just following orders, but it's like, can you even have a military if people don't just follow orders? Well, look, so here's the thing. I'm one of those people that if you tell me,

go out and kill these children and we're just telling you to do it, so you should do it. No, I'm not going to do that. I mean, it's not blindly following orders. It's looking at the facts. So let's just say as an example, regardless of the reasoning for the Iraq war, you know, regardless of the falsified documentation or the anthrax or the WMD, whatever the case may be, we did know for a fact that Saddam ran in a tyrannical role. We did know that there was Shia that were being just slaughtered, you know,

at random. We did see the Halabja incident with the Kurds. We did see – so it's like you're still eliminating a bad guy, right? The problem with America is that not that we're going in and eliminating terrorists or bad guys. The problem was that we thought that we could actually create democracy. This nation-building thing is the biggest quagmire that the bush administration ever put us into and it was the biggest mistake and that was to prop up the industrial complex let me ask you about these uh the police we've been seeing as of recent with uh what's going on in the convoys the you know the cops arrest that 78 year old man but also the black lives matter protests you've obviously got

the left they've been screaming abolish the police for the past two years for really stupid reasons but uh after a while, I started saying the same thing. Because not only did we see, obviously within the riots, they weren't shutting them down. They weren't prosecuting. They weren't arresting. Sometimes they were. But for the most part, the justicism was not going after these people. They were getting a free pass. They got a free pass on January 17th, 2020. January 6th, these people get rotten solitary. But when we saw the police shut down small businesses, when we saw the police defend Black Lives Matter murals that were painted illegally with seizure of taxpayer money, at that point, I'm just like,

you know, maybe they're right. Maybe they've shoved it in our face that the police will aid and abet the theft of taxpayer funds for political messaging. The police will shut down private businesses in violation of the Constitution. Why would these cops just follow these orders, even though they're not only unconstitutional, but in many ways illegal outright? And why would I even bother supporting them at this point? Well, a lot of them, and I think we were talking about this earlier, actually. We were talking about the fact that a lot of the really good ones, they did leave. They ended up going somewhere else.

But you're only seeing this issue in Democrat- controlled cities where you already have a corrupt mayor because remember it's not the law enforcement that's usually the ones who are the issue they are law enforcement they're not legislators who are actually creating these laws or creating these types of of regulations and things that they're trying to enforce but the problem is is that then the people who oppose it they just leave the cities and they go to another place and they go hey look i know that this mayor is trying to impose something which is against something I'm willing to adhere

to, and those cities just crumble from that point. Yeah, but, you know... I mean, I see your point. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, let me... I'll tell you the story I tell everybody. It was when I was buying my first gun. I was in New Jersey at the time. It's very difficult to get a gun. It took several months. It took like six months, actually, because they were lying to me about how to do it.

Should have just went to the gun shop in the first place. But there was a woman. Should have been a Florida resident. Should have been a Florida resident in the first place. Well, we're West Virginia. We got constitutional carry. So this woman from Pennsylvania where you're allowed to have guns was going to Atlantic City. She wanted to go gamble.

She was like an older middle-aged woman, maybe even in her 50s. And she crossed the bridge. She gets pulled over for like a taillight or something. And then when the cop walks up, her thinking, I'll be responsible, like I was told, politely informs the officer that she does have her concealed carry with her just so that he knows. And he said, okay, you know, step out of the vehicle, ma'am. Put your hands behind your back. And she's shocked what's happening. It was, you're under arrest. It's a felony possession. You're not allowed to carry a gun in New Jersey. Why did that officer do that? Why didn't that officer just say, ma'am, it's five minutes back to Philadelphia.

You're going to turn around. I'm going to escort you to the bridge. Do not bring a gun into New Jersey. It's a crime. Instead, he was like, I think this woman should go to prison for four years. Yeah, that sounds about right to me. This is a regular cop. He's not dealing with a riot. He's not stressed out. He just decided upon himself. Yeah, maybe this is an egregious, unconstitutional law, but far be it from me. I'd rather this woman go to prison for four years than... Totally with you. I mean, let's just play devil's advocate for a minute, though. Let's say that this young officer who probably hadn't been out of the academy very long, let's just go ahead and throw that out. He's looking at it going, all all right so i've got body cam my supervisor is going to

look at this and i have an option to either enforce the law because he was in the right of enforcing the law or if i don't and i do the right thing which is probably to say hey you know what let's turn you back i'm going to lose my job which means i can't feed my family which mean my kids look there i mean we have to look at all the things. I mean, these law enforcement officers, first off, a lot of them are on $35,000 a year, $40,000 a year to risk their lives. I get that. I understand your point, but does it change if that's instead of it being a 60- or 70-year-old? Does it change if it's a 20-year-old? Does it change if it's a 19-year-old?

No, it doesn't. Not as far as I'm concerned. I mean, that's my point. There's no justification for someone. This is why constitutional carry needs to be across all 50 states. This is a constitutional right to bear arms. I agree. This shouldn't even be in discussion.

The issue here is a cultural problem that you would have someone fresh out of the academy be like, I would rather this woman go to prison for four years than me lose my job. I mean, that to me is evil. But we don't live in a society of us or them. I mean, that's exactly what the good for thee, not for me, you know, socialist leftist mentality is, isn't it? The two tiered justice system, they can get away with it, but we can't. Well, I mean, in Chicago, great example is politicians can carry guns and have armed security, but you can't. New Jersey is the same way. In fact, in New Jersey. So I talked to the police and i said you know how do you get

concealed carry the only way that you can have a gun on your person walking around in any new jersey neighborhood is if you have a concealed carry permit but new jersey is actually a no issue state it's not a real legal distinction it's just everybody knows new jersey will not give you one no matter what you do or say unless you are worth a certain amount of money or you have a certain amount of fame well then or you know certain people who will sign off like the sheriff or like exactly i think it goes beyond the sheriff i think in order to get signed off on it it's like state level or something ridiculous and they just throw them in the garbage basically and there's laws about it because it is unconstitutional but they'll no matter what

you do they'll just tell you to show up off. Unless you can prove you work with a certain amount of money or you're famous. Then they're like, oh, well, rich and or famous? Sir, you are entitled to a gun. Well, because they're trying to make the excuse that, well, I'm at more risk. And I have the ability for people to try and attack me because of my value, because of my – But again, though, this is that two-tiered justice system that I was just mentioning. I mean, look, good for thee, not for me.

I mean, this shouldn't even be a topic of discussion, Tim. You and I were saying that before. Just go back to constitutional carry and let's just get over it. I've had situations in Chicago, stories from my friends and things that I've experienced. One story my friends told me is that they were hanging out at the park and they were smoking pot when they were like teenagers. And a cop car pulls up and it wasn't

like a patrol car but it was very obviously a police vehicle. And my friends freak out and they're like 16 and they throw their joint or whatever and the cop laughs and he goes, dude, we don't care that you're smoking pot in the park. We're looking for this guy. Did you see him? And they're like, no. And he's like, all right, man, later. There was

other instances where the cops would come by and see people with pipes and stuff. And then he would be like, toss it, bro. Come on. And the dude would like toss it to the side and be like, you're good. So why is it that those cops in this instance in Chicago would be like, I'm not going to arrest some teenagers for what's clearly illegal. But in other circumstances, like, oh, a constitutional right. Heavens, you got to go to prison for that. There are a lot of stories in Chicago of like a dad who tried to get a gun to protect his family because the gun violence is so insane. Lock him up, go to prison.

Well, too bad. You try to get them. They deny you. Even though it's a constitutional right, you got no criminal record, whatever. So they say, I'll drive to Indiana, 45 minutes, pick one up, and then you go to prison for it. Or the states where they're like, you can have a gun in your car so long as the ammo is not with it. Yeah. I mean, I don't understand.

Yeah, I don't understand that. Maryland is apparently really bad. Yeah, Maryland is. I'll tell you what. So when I first came to the D.C. area and coming from Florida, this was a massive shock for me. And it was the same thing. I was talking to someone about, oh, yeah, I'm going to take my pistol and some ammo. I'm going to go do some shooting, things like that at this Maryland gun range.

And they're like, what do you mean you're going to take your ammo? I was like, well, yeah, I'm going to save money because I used to reload. I used to do my own stuff. So I don't want to pay $10 a box back then or $15 a box. And they're like, no, no, no. Each round that you bring is a felony charge. Each round. And I was like, what?

I mean, this is just insane. It's okay for me to carry my gun, but it wasn't okay. So I'm like, so basically you're propping up this gun shop because now I'm forced to buy their ammo. They can charge whatever they want for it. And I'm like... In order to buy weapons in Maryland, it's particularly complicated. It's bad. And the funny thing is West Virginia is just

20-30 minutes depending on where you are in Virginia. In West Virginia, if you're a resident, you walk in, you gotta fill out your NICS background check form. Then they send it to the feds. Takes a few minutes, and then you can buy your Florida got to do a background check but uh dc is shocking to me because it's federal jurisdiction and it's the most it's one of the most strict jurisdictions in the country i mean whether you like the guy or not or make atario he had uh 30 round magazines standard capacity magazines and they arrested him for it

unloaded yeah unloaded just just pieces of plastic with springs doesn't matter well and again i i 30 round magazines, standard capacity magazines, and they arrested him for it. Unloaded. Yeah, unloaded. Just pieces of plastic with springs. Doesn't matter. Well, and again, I love how people used to throw out this term. It's gun paraphernalia. It's like a sticker of a gun on your shirt. Exactly.

I mean, how far do you go with that? I think the issue is, you know, I've said this before. If you don't like the fact that people can have guns, amend the Constitution. But don't start violating the Constitution every single day because you're unhappy with it. It's crazy to me that the Constitution is explicit. I don't care about what the reason is. A well-regulated militia being necessary, sure, fine, whatever. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

The reasoning is irrelevant. Yet what do we have agreed they've banned everything i love it when they're like no one's coming to take your guns and i'm just like waco excuse me that was 30 years ago come on you know o'rourke's exact comment right which he's now gone back on yeah but his exact comment was is i am coming for your AR-15s. What an idiot. I mean, look, and again, if that's not infringement of my Second Amendment rights, what is it? I honestly think that if you, in a campaign, declare your

intent to violate the Constitution, you should be ineligible. 100% agree. That makes sense. 100% agreed. So when Beto says, I am going to take your guns away, it's like, well, that's a direct statement in violation of the Constitution. You can't be allowed to hold power. Would you let him run the next cycle then? If they atone for the statement?

You know, it is an interesting point because I'm a bit facetious. But yeah, how do you recover from saying you intend to violate people's rights? Because then what's to prevent you from once you're elected from going back on that because you've already shown your true intent but it just wasn't popular. And who knows if you're lying all the time. Well, that's just being a politician. If you're a felon, you can't own a gun? Okay, well, if you express public intent on a campaign trail to violate the Constitution,

someone should be able to file a lawsuit against you and then it should go to the courts and the courts would be like... If for no other reason than that, he should know that he violated the Constitution. I'll tell you what's even worse than that, though. What about the felons who you're not allowed

to vote? I think felons should be allowed to vote. I mean, that's absolutely absurd. At the end of the day, if you go and you serve and you atone

for what you've been, you know, essentially prosecuted for, why shouldn't you maintain your constitutional rights and liberties? Why should you not still be able to vote

in our elections? Why should your voice not count? I want to stress the point for those that I'm literally referencing the Madison Cawthorn thing. I know some left is going to be like, but Tim said yesterday, they're trying to disqualify Madison Cawthorn. Yeah. I'm saying you want to play ball. We can play ball. If you want to claim

that Madison Cawthorn speaking at a rally, it makes them ineligible. Then I'll come right out and say, you ever express anything in violation of the constitution, then you're out. I spoke at a rally. I spoke at a Stop the Steal rally one time. I mean, should that ban me in any way? Because I was talking with Alan West and Dana Lash, and we were just talking about the fact that we really want to just press for voter integrity. That's it. That's a great idea.

We want to secure our elections. We should define that. I mean, and going to that, I laughed the other day, by the way, and you'll all get a kick out of this. This is the analogy I used. Whenever they said that requiring voter ID is suppressing the elections, I almost asked them, I said, that's the equivalent of a car manufacturer saying that we should remove the brakes because it suppresses the acceleration. Which it does intentionally. I mean, the whole point is safety in there. Or you can say it's a car dealership saying we've removed all Carfax. You can't get it anymore because it threatens the integrity of our industry. Dude, you've got to – this whole not having a license.

We're trying to make sure you're not doing wrong. That's exactly right. Are they going to – what is this? And then they're going to be like, okay, if you really want IDs for voting, okay, you've got to sign up on the blockchain and get your new PERMA ID that we can track you everywhere around and you've got to take the chip with you everywhere you go. Well, but think about it. Getting an ID is difficult, it's racist, it's suppressive.

But let's look at vaccine passports. That's not at all a violation. So here's your future. In 20 years, some 16-year-old is going to be going to the DMV for his first license or whatever. He's going to finish driver's ed in high school. He's going to walk in. He's going to walk up, and he's going to be like, yeah, I'm getting my driver's license.

And they're going to go, okay, do you have your address? I need two forms of ID and your VAX card. Oh, yeah, I have it right here. Oh, your VAX card is a month out of date. No, you haven't had your 15th booster. Well, it's out of date. So you've got to do it every month. So you need to go to – this is 7-Eleven parking lot where you can get updated and 15th booster. Well, it's out of date. So you've got to do it every month.

So you need to go to – this is 7-Eleven parking lot where you can get updated and then come back. Oh, okay. And the kid's going to leave and get injected and he's going to come back. She's going to go, okay, here you go. Now you have your ID. And then they're going to be like, and do you want to register to vote at the same time? Then they're going to register him only after he completes the process and has his VAX passport and all that stuff. You're going to have your mobile app on your phone. It's going to have your QR qr code fortunately it looks like the way of the vax stuff is on its way out the canadians man no that's the moon baby it's the rat hope

experiment i mean i do have hope i'm not lying it's the rat hope experiment you know the rat hope experiment is guy takes these cylinders full of water puts a rat in it the rat swims for 15 minutes and then drowns he does it again with other rats the rat swims for 15 minutes and then drowns. He does it again with other rats. The rat swims for 15 minutes, starts to drown. He pulls it out. He dries it off, lets it rest, puts it back in. The second time, the rats would swim for 60 hours because they had hope that the hand would pull them out if they just held out a little longer. I predicted this.

Granted, I've suggested the possibility of many things. I'm not acting like this is foresight. I said, because a few months ago I did say I thought the lockdowns were going to get worse because the Democrats were desperate. I was wrong about that. But I also said I feared what would happen is they would pull back on the restrictions

to give everyone hope. It's finally over. And then several months later, wham, double down, triple down. I'll tell you what. I knew where this was heading whenever they started issuing the VAX cards. And all of a sudden, you started seeing all of those blank slots that are underneath it from the very, very beginning.

If it was really about two and done and getting back to society, you'd have had two slots. You'd have had it. It would have been done right. When you saw that there were six and seven and eight extra slots underneath, you already knew this was preplanned. That's why I called it the plandemic, not the pandemic. Dude donald rumsfeld said when we go into iraq while we were in afghanistan he actually said the words when we go into iraq as if it had been pre-planned this all this stuff is they're just sitting back there like what are we gonna do that's something that's been pushed for for a very long time though you have joe biden on record saying he wanted to

invade iraq back in 1997 it's all planned uh maybe not all maybe not it doesn't necessarily have to be a plan. It's just the fact that that's what the establishment always wanted. They knew they'd be able to rematch themselves off of it. Man, this COVID. It's so weird. I think, here's my prediction. First, yes, of course I know Luke was right and I was wrong. Luke

said with Omicron, he thinks everything's going to start pulling back and that's basically what we're seeing. But, I think it's a good possibility that October all of a, it's like, oh, no, it's getting cold again. The cases are skyrocketing. We're going to have to do universal mail-in voting again, everybody. Oh, that's guaranteed to be utilized. I mean, look, the bottom line is that the lie has worked once.

They're going to continue to utilize it until it's basically pushed back upon. And here's the other thing. I'm not anti-vax. I think that if you feel that you have a compromised immune function, I think that if you want to protect yourself with other areas, I think that it's your medical choice, your medical right to be able to do so, and that's why we created it. But also on the adverse, if you don't want to take it, that's also your medical choice, your medical...

I mean, look, this is why we live in freedom. We have freedoms and liberties, parental rights, medical choice. I mean, these are all things that we – that's serious. I think I genuinely mean it when I say just talk to a doctor, man. We talk to our doctor. We talk to Joe Rogan. Agreed. Joe Rogan.

Joe Rogan. Dr. Rogan. No. I actually posted that the other day. I said I would trust Rogan over Fauci. Well, what Joe Rogan told us was he's like, look, man, don't – like it was basically the gist of it is don't just call a hospital. Like find a doctor, call them, see if you'll get some help. And then we found a doctor who was like, I want to give you guys proper treatment and prescriptions.

We have a plan and we got it. And it was that simple. And so I tell people, if you don't trust your doctor, like, I don't know, we found a doctor who is good. You just got to shop. You got to call around. Two and three medical opinions. Right. That is our opinion. You should. Yeah. You got to call around. You can get two and three medical opinions. Right. That is our ability.

You should. Yeah. You call it a second opinion. But also, I don't think that we should diminish the fact that our independent immunity is something that shouldn't be just necessarily cast aside. You can't just say, oh, well, your immunity. Oh, don't worry about that. My personal belief is it should be focused on from the dawn of time.

We have an immune system. We have white blood cells. It's wonderful. It's what I've been talking about how if one side of the culture war or the cold civil war is for it, the other side just automatically opposes it. And that's all it is. Trump was the one who warp speeded

out this vaccine. And it was the left claiming they would never go near it. And then it flipped because Biden was in office and Biden wanted to push it out. And all of a sudden it's like... This is why I love that Twitter handle The Defiant L's. Yes. That is so fantastic because I see so many times where he'll show some leftists going would you trust this vaccine created under trump and then like literally after the biden administration comes in they're like how dare you not get this vaccine you know it's like that's why it's clown

world man and that's why i'm just like i don't care to interact with these people it's why it's clown world, man. And that's why I'm just like, I don't care to interact with these people. It's just, it's absurd. They're not, they sit there and claim everyone else isn't acting in good faith, but they believe Brian Stelter is telling the truth. Mr. Potato Head. It's ridiculous that CNN can lie as often as they do, as overtly as they do. And that's why I genuinely believe any of these lefties who come out and they're like, I believe this narrative. I'm like, you're lying.

Let me tell you how I personally caught CNN in a lie. So I don't know if you guys know this or not, but so Congressman Ronnie Jackson, when the failed Afghan withdrawal occurred, had a family, a mother and her three children who are Texas 13 natives who were left behind in Afghanistan. And they were literally being hunted down by the Taliban. He called the DOD, tried to get support, couldn't do it. Called the Department of State, tried to get help, couldn't do it. Called us. I ended up putting a team together that we'd assembled, and we actually conducted the very first successful overland rescue of Americans out of Afghanistan, and that was in September.

Four hours after we rescued them, what do you think the CNN headline was? State Department saves four Americans. CNN, first one. Four hours after we rescued him, what do you think the CNN headline was? State Department saves four Americans. CNN, first one. Four hours after. It wasn't until I started to go on, and thank God there was platforms like Sean Hannity who was allowing it, who literally just told the whole story. To his credit, and I know this is going to be a shocker, however, which is probably why he's also not there, but you know who also gave me a fair shake?

Chris Cuomo. Oh, wow. He was the one who said, is it true? And we're going to bring on the person who's going to tell the truth. So going back, CNN was the first one to break that lie, even after our team went through. And you look at Ronnie Jackson's post where he says that it was three life-threatening attempts to try and get this family out of there. And CNN tried to give the State Department full credit of it. How did you get them out of there?

Classified stuff? No. The only reason I won't talk a lot about the operational stuff is because we're still like we just got 12 people out about seven days ago. And so I don't want to compromise our operational security on that to where we can try and look at the fact that we want to try and continue to help and save more. It's really a sad thing when citizens, but it's also a good thing. It's like these freedom truckers, right? So it's good when citizens step forward where the government fails. His surrender to the Taliban is one of the most egregious losses in the United States history. It was not just a surrender.

He not only surrendered to the Taliban, but he gave China exactly what they're asking for. And what was even more of what I think is a impeachable crime here after not just leaving the Americans, he funded. He left $86 billion in weapons, armament, defense, and cash to known terrorist organizations, the Taliban, Haqqani, and ISIS-K. And imagine if we as an American were to send anything to a terrorist organization, a known terrorist organization. I mean, he created what President Trump defeated with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. I mean, he's literally creating ISIS and giving them the actual ability to do it. Well, but that's what Obama did.

Yeah, exactly. I mean, Obama funds terrorists all the time. Well, I mean, again, we keep saying Obama, but we already know we're in Obama 2.0, aren't we? I mean, that's all we're looking at right now. Doesn't Obama have like property really close to the White House too? You mean the office that Biden just occupies? I mean, look, we know that Obama is sitting here shadow puppeting. I mean, we're seeing the Obama 2.0 model. I don't think so. I think he's being shadow puppeted by different people. Oh, it's also other people. Don't get me wrong. What do you think Obama's involvement is? I mean, I think that, you know, he's essentially telling Joe Biden that, you know, all the things that I did in my administration, I don't want them to be wiped out.

I don't want all those executive orders and all those things. I want my legacy to live on. This isn't about America. This is about creating legacies. It's political football. Everyone wants to go ahead and make the next first down. I don't know. I think Obama just kind of wanted to get rich and leave.

Which he did. That's what I think. I don't know if I think Obama just kind of wanted to get rich and leave. Which he did. That's what I think. I don't know if he has much of an interest, but...

All right. Roberto Lara says, Biden, we need help at the border. Biden goes, huh? Say no more, voters. Everyone, no wrong border, Joe. Fact. Christopher Brehm says, Florida 7th is my district. I'm excited to cast my vote for Corey

very tired of being represented by Stephanie Murphy thank you so much Stephanie Murphy is the person who portrays herself as an actual moderate Dem but she votes 98% of her time with Pelosi and 94% of her votes is with AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley but yet she still tries to run

under the auspice that I'm a blue dog Democrat. You are? Her. Oh, she is. God, I'm the furthest thing from her. Are you kidding me? You call me a lot of names, but I can't believe that you actually just said... No, you said who's Stephanie Murphy. Well, you said I'm a blue dog.

I thought you were saying she's smearing you. No, no, no. That's what she's actually trying to quote and claim, but clearly she's not. Alright. I can't pronounce that. Zig says, is everyone happy? It looks like we're one minute to midnight. Most people don't even recognize it, and we don't know who is calling the shots in our government.

One minute to midnight, man. I don't know if that means anything, but what's that great quote from Frank Miller? I imagine a doomsday clock is as nourishing to the intellect as a photograph of oxygen to a drowning man. You ever hear that? It's from Watchmen. No, it's cool. Yeah, because they're always like, we're five minutes to midnight. And it's like, it doesn't even mean anything.

Yeah, right. Tomorrow's a new day. It's a bunch of people who are like, we're closer to the apocalypse. Sure we are. Great. All right. Depends on if you're asking Al Gore or any of the climatist yeah really let's talk about withdrawing that carbon dioxide from the atmosphere turning it into carbon by the way kill those cows murph says tim your video on the

inflation when you mentioned the person who said they make more than their parents when they were starting out and can't afford rent it made me wonder how much debt they had and what what what was on it this is a viral meme i mean I'm not even saying it's necessarily like a real story. It's someone posting a meme. But what they were saying was their parents were making like a middle-class wage, bought a house in the early 90s. Now that house is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, they're making the equivalent buying power-wise of like double, but the price of homes are so high they can't even buy. And the cost of rent is higher

than the comparable cost of a mortgage that their parents were paying. Yeah, and I think you can thank, what, BlackRock? Yeah, let's thank BlackRock. Who's got their hands in everything. State Street and Vanguard. Yep. When they buy up all the houses

and then rent them out, that's what you get. All right. Bobby Bob says, what is Corey's plans for big tech censorship? Well, let me just tell you right now. The first thing I'm going to do is look at repealing Section 230. I mean, look, the bottom line is that we have to stop these platforms. And I know there's argument on this. I talked to Congressman.

I was going to push back a little bit. I know what you're getting ready to push back on. But the bottom line is that we can't allow platforms to continue to go ahead and censor just one side. We can't continue to allow it to have a singular narrative that's being spun in an effort to try and influence or control elections or trying to actually promote an outcome that isn't favorable to every single American. So this means we need the enforcement of Section 230, not the repealing of it. So the issue is – Or the rewriting to ensure that it's just not the biggest thing is is that i think that people who are being censored should have a

right to be able to go ahead and issue a civil lawsuit against these businesses but they're protected and that's one of the issues i would i would actually be open to repealing it only because it's a scorched earth policy but i'll tell you what happens right now. So Twitter has pornography on their platform, and they're allowed in the App Store. Minds.com gets booted from the App Store for like one image, one time. So the issue is that they use Section 230 as legal protection, and it supports their friends, and they shut down the little guy. On our website, on TimCast.com, we have to abide by the rules of our partner organizations, even though we're not responsible for any user-generated content or words spoken in a news report. That's not indicative of something we've said. Right.

Although, to a certain degree, like quotes. Like if we're quoting someone, you can't come after us for that. The problem is Google says to us, you have no protections under Section 230. We do. So the law is granting the monopolies and the big corporations all of these protections. And then they use their power to shut down anyone who opposes them because they control the system. So what we need is. And again, I still think that we should be breaking up these technocrats who are trying to basically come in and censor and only control one side. You know, I think Rumble is doing a really good job. I mean, look what's happening to OAN as an

example. OAN is a fantastic news station and they're getting deplatformed nonstop. I think Rumble is... I'm fairly optimistic. I think these big tech platforms are nuking themselves. Facebook stock drops 30%. Their growth is in the gutter. I look at, you know, I've been telling people this. If you want to get started making videos or podcasts, go to Rumble. There's a bit that your channel will grow faster on Rumble than YouTube, and you're not going to get banned. Agreed.

It's not even worth it to be on YouTube for the most part. We're only here mostly because we've been here, you know, and we do upload our content to Rumble. Plus, we use their infrastructure. I was thinking if we tried to break up the corporations like Facebook into like six smaller corporations, Facebook Prime, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, et cetera, Zuckerberg would still have all the code private. He could just spin up new shit with it. Pardon me. And that's my one per month.

So if we can force them to free their software code so that other people have access to the technology i still think that the best thing to do is is be able to make it to where if you are an individual who is censored and you feel that it's a result of you being a conservative you being you know i've been censored by twitter in the past for example i mean they still won't verify me imagine that even though i follow all their rules. I think that you should be able to file a civil suit against them. I think that eventually it will get so expensive for them to continue to fight these battles at that stage. Because, again, these big corporations, these technocrats who are trying to control and make that influence, you have to hit them where it hurts the most, and that's financially in their pockets. Yeah.

All right. Turk Longwell says, Corey, sir, why so many based politicians in Florida? And what's up with the three pins you are wearing? Hoorah, devil dog here. I don't want a civil war. Well, the reason we're so based in Florida is because Florida is America. I mean, look, we're not sitting here with the same censorship. One of the things that makes us great is tremendous leaders like Governor DeSantis. I mean, that's the biggest thing.

As for the pens, let's see, I've got my airborne wings. I've got my bronze star and my combat medical badge for when I was deployed to combat. So just representing and trying to ensure that I show for my vets. Did you make a lot of jumps in the airborne? I did. How many? Well, if you talk to an actual like World War II veteran, because I got set up on this one time, I was sitting at the All-American Week one time and and I had this old guy come up, and he goes,

how many jumps do you have? And at the time, I was a young specialist. I had like 33 jumps, something like that. He goes, wow. He goes, I only have three. And I thought to myself, how do you have three? And I learned the setup. He goes, yeah, so Operation Market Garden, nine Megan.

And at that point, I was like, sir, what would you like to drink? So when it comes to that question, if it's for combat, zero. Thank you. So where it comes to that question, if it's for combat, zero. Thank you. So where's that changed from? Did they back in the day would only reference the actual combat missions? That was just the old guy setting me up and the young guy getting what he deserved. That was like pulling out the challenge coin right there. I was like, sir, how many drinks would you like? And I'll be buying all night. That's a good one. All right. Dixie, um miss normus first name dixie says slash the tires truck driver here those tires are 100 plus psi even if you could slash it with the hand tool

you'll have your arm degloved honk well i guess they don't teach that at harvard this lady i mean yeah honestly there's a video i watched of there's's a big rig, and a tire blew out, and the guy got knocked back like 50 feet or something, just thrown back. This lady, you shouldn't be telling... Someone's going to do it. Some stupid person's going to be like... I wonder if they'll ban her channel on incitement

or her Twitter account on incitement. I'd hold my breath with something like that. Harvard professor. Yeah, brilliant. And she's obviously clearly on the left, so the answer's no. or her Twitter account on incitement, I'd hold my breath with something like that. Harvard professor. Yeah. Brilliant. And she's obviously clearly on the left, so the answer's no. This is who is teaching the people who go to Harvard. That's why we talk about the indoctrination of these higher Ivy League schools.

We have Dylan Massey who says, I haven't watched a member segment in a couple of months. I pay for the membership to support the cause. Keep up the good work, Tim. Commenting from the middle of GA, Marjorie Taylor Greene is the best rep of my lifetime. I'm a big fan. She's great. She's fantastic.

She's really nice. We have great conversations. And boy, does the media smear her relentlessly. And it's so much BS. They're coming after her because she said gazpacho. And I'm like, that's not relevant to politics in any way. I think it's stupid. You know what i really like about her is the fact that she got called out for that gaffe lots of politicians make gaffes she laughed about it when she was on the show i mean i i really do like her yeah the fact that you have a political leader who's actually

going to poke fun at themselves for something they got called out for doing is really unprecedented no one makes more gaffes than joe biden's just be clear. And the media will cover for him left, right, and center. They translate for him. Yes, they do. They do. It's true. What Joe meant to say was. Well, no, no, they do this.

I love it. Because even conservatives do this. Joe Biden will come out and he'll be like, we got a, you know, we got an economy. And we got to improve the economy for kids. Anyway. That was actually way too coherent. It's more like orange ice cream.

The media then writes, quote, we need to improve the economy for our kids. They cut out all the bunk, all the BS, and they just write simple words. I'm like, he never said those words. This is a classic thing the media will do. If they're reporting on a statement from somebody who they don't like they include um and uh and every little gaffe and they'll put little dot dot dots in there put little periods in there to indicate that the person may be

trailed off but if it's someone they like they clean it up make it sound really nice so i want to i want to just say to uh to dylan who is a member um by being a member but also not watching i just gotta say see that's, I preferred if you watch the member segments, I think they're fantastic, but then it, uh, it actually costs us money every time someone watches a member segment because it's private proprietary unlike YouTube or whatever. So, uh, not only are you supporting the cause, it's very cheap for us because you're not costing us any money.

But I will say, if you guys really want to support our work, we are, um, we do have sponsors. We periodically read, but, uh, we are, are principally funded by memberships. And so the more people who sign up, the more we can expand, the more people we can hire, the more we can budget. And we are doing that. We have a new building being built in West Virginia. It's going to be amazing. We're actually planning on setting up some kind of, um, private club for our members. So there will be, on Freedomistan, like a club, private club with like a bar and games. You can come hang out. And we're thinking of using NFTs

as like your membership cards or however. But as we're talking about right now, and there'll be a Discord along with it, really excited for that. And it's all possible because you guys help support us over at timcast.com as members. And we're actually planning on having these streams on the website and everything as well. All right, let's see what we got.

Lewis says, Ian, I deeply respect that despite the harsh words you get from the chat, you always voice your opinion without trying to mold yourself to the in-group. Thank you so much. Yeah. It is true. It's like when you get criticism, positive or negative, what I try to do is not take it personally but listen to it and and understand it and then see try to look for some because there's you almost always some value in criticism yeah well no i i also want to say

that i i really do admire that too the fact that you you don't really let it get to you when you do get negative comments i think that's cool and the fact that like even though you do disagree with a lot of people in the chat, you still sort of come on and voice your opinion. But the thing that's great about him is that he's open-minded enough to at least one, give them the opportunity to speak. And two, you take it in,

you actually analyze it and go, okay, well maybe this is a pretty good point. I still don't agree with you a hundred percent on it, but like you're open, you're open-minded. Unlike the left, who is so intolerant that if you don't actually say and utilize the exact

same narrative as they use, you just continually attack in response. So, yeah, hats off to you on that. But I think a lot of people, too, also don't understand because there's periodic – Adrian Curry in the chat saying Ian is awesome. You see, Ian needs to be here because otherwise we would be just another run-of-the-mill political talk show. You'd be in a sound vacuum. There's got to be more unique perspectives. And so that's one thing that Ian brings when he arbitrarily goes off on rants about aliens or magnetic fields. And for all you critics out there, I will rewatch the show and be like, shut up, Ian.

Because sometimes I'll talk when I want to hear the brilliant guests and the other awesome hosts. But it is good to have – there's very homogenized political voices in this space. And for whatever reason, Ian is this completely separate perspective on everything. So it works out helping us see things we don't normally see ourselves even if sometimes we think it's dumb. You got to have that, man. I knew it was good when he came out and he had no shoes on. Oh, yeah. I'm sitting cross-legged right now.

Also, Ian lent me an air mattress. He used to not even get dressed. He wears pajamas. And I was like, yo, Ian. And I was like, what does it matter what I wear, Tim? And I was like, oh, yeah. What does it matter what I wear? So I just wear whatever.

I was like, does that make sense? I was like, you got to put on pants. And I was like. Okay, so then the point was. I'll try to say that a little slower. I was like, what does it matter what I wear, dude? And then I thought about it. And I was like, that's a good point, Ian. What does it matter?

So just wear what he's asking you to wear. Who gives a, you know? It doesn't matter. Well, it's just because like, you know, when we have. I like messy hair and my pajamas. And then we've got like Steve Bannon coming in and like Alex Jones, Donald Trump's coming over. And we're like, yeah, let's look. Like Ian's in his pajamas.

Where's someone? It was one thing when it was like, we weren't really having that many guests. This is something I've thought of. It's almost like I'm more encouraged to wear dirty jeans five days in a row than clean pajamas every day, which is very weird because it becomes about optics. But that's not necessarily the dichotomy. You could wear clean jeans every day. You're not choosing to be filled with crap. That's an option for you.

Ian, we love you. Like I said, for those that are in here i mean ian ian has lent me an air mattress to sleep on it's very helpful yeah yeah good guy much appreciated man all right let's read some more let's read some more we got uh storm viking says tim the boomers are lost and stuck in the 70s i think the economy is booming and biden has the greatest job growth in u.s history i shake my head at my grandparents every time i'm around them tell them to stop watching cnn or msnbc or most of your mainstream media steve says we really are in world war three the two sides are freedom and authoritarianism the authoritarians already won they own every single institution i disagree they may own many of them but they're losing them and it's laughably bad i mean the freedom convoy they're they're the freak out over this is it's hilarious biden calls trudeau and he's like you

gotta stop this and then trudeau's like i you better get out of here or else and the truckers are like no and then nothing out they can't do anything about it or like you just talked about before with facebook's uh facebook's uh huge drop i mean yeah 30 percent 30 percent drop yeah it's massive also i mean the thing the left wants you to believe is that they've won that's what all their propaganda is oriented towards making you believe they want you to think that everyone agrees with them and that standing up to them is futile and unfortunately conservatives play into it because we'll see something which is legitimately upsetting such as them trying to you know promote the gay agenda through their

advertisements and then we go oh my oh my gosh, it's done. It's over. They've won. No, there's still a lot of pushing back that we're able to do if we're willing to really unify and boycott the companies that support these ridiculous left-wing agendas, try to vote on the proper politicians, and also, most importantly, speak up when we are around people, even if we are not sure that they will agree with us. I'm all about people educating themselves.

I mean, this is the problem the only time that this misinformation propaganda warfare succeeds is when you fail to be able to research and look for the truth yourself i mean that's really where people that's where china has preyed upon things i mean even the other day steve bannon and maureen bannon had used one of my tweets because remember when the the hhs said that the reason for the cuban uprising was because there wasn't enough vaccinations i mean these are the things where you know i came forward and i said that the reason for the Cuban uprising was because there wasn't enough vaccinations? I mean these are the things where I came forward and I said, oh, great peace by the misinformation propaganda wing of the US government. I mean again, research, find the truth. You know what I used to love doing in Chicago during the Obama years?

I'd be walking down the street with a friend and then as soon as someone, some stranger was getting with an earshot i would go yeah i would just immediately turn to my friend and say yeah no i know but obama did bomb and kill all those kids as we walk past them so it's like i want them to hear that i'm not going to confront them on it i'm not going to say to them i just want that to be said as they walked past and now that's literally his job this is like what you've done for career like i'm going to make sure these people hear this it's funny like tim castass literally – Tim got his start walking down the street saying these things. I love it. Well, it's because I was doing the nonprofit stuff where like we'd go down the street and we'd fundraise.

And so I would just be like – it's an interesting situation for someone. If you're walking down the street minding your own business and then you hear someone say something, I'm not challenging them. I'm not arguing with them. I'm not trying to make them believe it. It's just something I said. So my idea there was hopefully that person just goes is that true was that guy who is that guy and then they look up and go whoa he did kill kids well it's the unfortunate obama did bomb kids i wonder and it's well it's unfortunate but for as much as i like trump

he's definitely the favorite president of my life now i'm now to be fair i'm only 26 here right that's not saying much but he continued a lot of that too i mean for example we were talking about yemen earlier he kept us there it's very disappointing he's not saying much. But he continued a lot of that too. I mean, for example, we were talking about Yemen earlier. He kept us there. It's very disappointing. He's not a leader of an either. Now, I think there's an argument to be made that he was not able to do a lot of the things he would want to have done because of the deep state operating against him, but let's just still flag that.

Let's read some more superchats. We got Tony. He says, with the first link the chain is forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the chain is forged. The first speech censured. The first thought forbidden. The first freedom denied chains us all irrevocably. It is a brilliant quote. And it's from Star Trek The Next Generation.

It's very good. David says, with Kinzinger stating his belief that it will come down to targeted assassinations, which side is more likely to take the extreme action? I could be wrong, but I believe he's planting a seed. I don't know. I don't know if it's relevant. The main point is people are going to fight. That's the point of a civil war. And as I talked about before, it's not like what he's saying hasn't already occurred.

We watched this with Representative Steve Scalise. Tom's Pants says Amir Locke reached for and picked up the gun after the police announced upon entry. Clearly visible, even in the video TYT lied about. I don't know if I agree with that. He's under the covers. I don't know what he's doing. It was nine seconds. And additionally,

look, I think the police lied. I don't think we have all the details. I'm not going to fall for this, but look, when the police come in and are yelling, I have no idea what they're saying. I mean you said you heard what they were saying. I can't tell. I mean I heard it very clearly. I mean they were clearly saying that search warrants and show your hands.

I mean I definitely could hear it. I don't think it matters. I mean if I'm going to rob someone's house, I'm going to yell that. Agreed. If a burglar wants to invade your home while you're sleeping, they're going to yell, police, nobody move. They do it all the time, actually. It's a big problem. So, look, man, no-knock warrants.

I agree with, you know, Rand Paul introduced that bill. He was trying to get no-knock warrants banned or whatever. I think they're unconstitutional. I also think the Young Turks are liars. I believe they lie a lot. So... I think that we've seen that with the no-knock warrants. In most cases cases it usually ends up in a way that it's hard to determine who's at fault and i mean i would support the

idea of getting rid of no-knock warrants i mean rilo says ian stop trying to rationalize the motivations of the left while they are punching you in the face you're in a fight because the left said you are fight back any way you can or you will be a slave if it was a situation where we were literally in a physical fight, I would fight back. But we're still in the diplomatic phase, and people emotionally charged can be communicated with. Trust me. So you need to read The Art of War, man, because you are a victim to so much. But how do you know I'm telling the truth right now? What do you mean?

Dude, I'm a maniac actor, dude. What does that have to do with what you just said? I'm here to manipulate people, bro. Why would you say that? Because I'm lying right now. Are you telling the truth when you said that? How can you tell? It's like pretending you're a bastard.

My goal is to help people, and I think that communication is the best way. And that is my hill. You got a guy who keeps coming up and stealing from your garden, and you say, well, they're not fighting me, so I'm fine with it. No, stealing is a form of fighting. Yeah, I think that is. Well, they're stealing from you every day, bro. I love the way you think, Tim. What do you mean?

I mean, look at the Federal Reserve. You complain about all the time. I don't think we can physically fight. Invisible taxation through inflation. Yeah, I don't think we can physically fight the military-industrial complex. No, no. People are posting ones. Uh-oh. No, some people posted some 20s. Thanks, guys. So in Dungeons & Dragons, when you roll a one, it's like absolute failure.

Abject failure. And a 20 is like total success. So when Ian says something, it's a one or a 20. But I also went to like liberal arts college with a bunch of these people that were talking about the leftists. Like this is my people. And I know they can be communicated with. They just do it emotionally instead of logically. I actually agree with the emotional versus logic thing. I have to read this one.

But you might not like it. It's critical. Of course it is. Howard says, your guest is worse than Congressman Dan Crenshaw. I don't even know how to answer to that. Considering that I'm an anti-interventionist and considering that I would never vote for red flag laws and that I actually own one of only, like, what what three A5 warhead presses in America that helps to support like our military and our law enforcement for trainings and things like that. What's that?

Crenshaw canceled on us twice. Well, of course he would because he doesn't want to actually come on and have to debate. Maybe. Maybe he's busy. I want him on. That's why I said that. I mean I'm not here to disrespect him for not coming on my show. It's like you don't have to come on my show.

It's a favor to me and to everybody. But we invited him out. He said, maybe someday. He eventually said, sure. Then he canceled because he said we had to vote. Then he said, I'll reschedule for next week. And then he said, scheduling conflict can't come. So would you describe yourself as a non-interventionist? Yeah, I don't think I would describe myself as an America First conservative. I mean, I think that us trying to involve ourselves in foreign wars has nothing to do with us, does not threaten the homeland, does not threaten our constitutional liberties and freedoms. And the idea that we should be securing our own borders before we're worried about Canada and Ukraine and all the other nations. Yeah, I think that I would definitely

describe myself as an America first agenda. I mean, domestic production, domestic growth. I mean, that's what we need to be. I would agree with you that that's what our policy should be. But earlier it seemed as if you were defending our role in Yemen. Maybe I misunderstood. No, it wasn't defending our role in Yemen. I was talking about the role that we played. Okay. And see, this is the thing you need to understand too. Telling someone the truth about what's going on, it's like, you know, if Ian comes out

and says everything that's happening there, we're doing this bad. And then you're like, well, actually, here's what's really happening. That's not supportive. I was simply just giving a fact. You did describe the death of the children as collateral damage. we're doing this bad, and then you're like, well, actually, here's what's really happening. That's not supportive. I was simply just giving the facts. You did describe the death of the children as collateral damage. Because, unfortunately, this is why I am an anti-reventionist, and I don't like wars, because, again, who wants peace more than the people who actually have to fight these things?

Yeah, of course. I mean, I've been involved in many of these wars, many of these conflicts, and I've seen where collateral damage is actually occurring. I've seen in the streets of Iraq where a firefight goes off and there's innocent families who are being killed. And calling something collateral damage doesn't mean you're supporting it. So here's my point. It's a literal reference to. I think what you're absolutely right about is that people who have served in the military and seen conflict tend to be the most anti-war. All of my friends who are the most anti-war veterans, they're actually the people who convinced me to take the positions I have. My point is just that I think one thing

that we fail at as conservatives very often is we use the language of the left and we use the language of our adversaries and we'll play into their euphemisms. And I think collateral damage is one of those euphemisms. So what do we say? The innocent that are being killed? I would say so, yeah.

I mean, at the end of the day, you also have to understand that military vernacular and the way that we speak in the military, we're very acronym-based and we utilize things that we learn. Collateral damage is a term that we utilize in the military, and it's something that we talk about all the time. And so for me, it's just a very familiar term. That's fair. Then we misunderstood each other.

I would say that I would argue that there is better terminology to use. I understand based on your background why you'd be more likely to. I would encourage people to refer to it as the death of innocent children. All right. Darius says, Tim, typically New Jersey police make an average $123,000 a year. 34K is showing as minimum, and it is likely just

court police making the small amount while retired. Oh, there you go. Interesting. That's why they'll do it. I'm not losing $100,000 a year. You know, New Jersey is a corrupt, dirty state. It's like two states worse. You got that little New York armpit of high industry, and then you've got the rest of the state, which is like, and why do they have the same laws? It makes no sense.

I kind of understand not concealed carry in a densely urban area. How do you feel about that? Again, I don't know enough about New Jersey politics and about how things are working there from a law enforcement perspective. But, I mean, I'm still trying to process the fact of 120-something thousand because I got a buddy of mine who's on the SWAT team there in St. Johns County in Florida, and he's making like 47 to 50. Wow. I mean, it's insane. All right. I still can't believe that.

Ponton says, this here is what is not cool. Wasting super chat time talking about Ian with high dollar topic relevant chats go in the trash. Really needs fixing. We don't choose super chats based on price for the most part. We do tend to read higher super chats more than lower ones. But my goal is not to make it so that people who can't afford super chats get ignored. I'm a super chat communist in that regard i said i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm more of like a democratic socialist super like still a little bit of capitalism in there you know

if someone does give us a lot of money i want to make sure we we're going to respect and support that but not every person some people will give high dollar super chats with really awful comments and some people with five bucks have some of the best. So we try to balance it out. Yeah, I was thinking, is there something I could do that would help this show get more popular faster? And I'm trying to, like, am I slowing it down by talking too much? I'm going to get ripped, you guys. Oh, you're right, actually.

And wear clean jeans. Yeah. Just one day, Ian's wearing, like, a really tight tank top or whatever, and he's just like bulging muscles like carrot top. You're right. I was thinking that this morning. Voice drops two decibels. People gain so much respect for you when you're ripped. Or two octaves.

When you're in good shape. Because it's like you know that person has discipline. I want to be like that person. What if like in three months, Ian's super ripped and his head's shaved and he's got like no beard. His voice is dropped. I want to be back for the first show that happens. Let's do it. I'll call you.

All right. Let's see. Armored Jester says, ladies and gents, we got Ian to see the light. Thank you, everyone. There you go. I love you. All right. It's Jeremy says, Tim, would you consider a major fundraise via GiveSendGo to take on

larger projects like movies or documentaries? Yes, absolutely. We just need to get to that point. I think once we get the new facility set up, I've thought about it. We had Nick Cersei on the show. He's been in a bunch of big movies and TV shows. He was on Justified. And I asked him, how much does it cost to do one of these documentaries or films?

And he's like, a million bucks. And I'm like, okay, we'd have to do a fundraiser for that. That's a lot of money. And if we have people who are pitching us and they want to do it, and we think have to do a fundraiser for that. That's a lot of money. And if we have people who are pitching us and they want to do it, and we think we can do it, it's not just about the good pitch. We need the great producers and directors.

And then once we have that plan, okay, let's do a fundraiser for it. But I mean, you look at Gazanel, that film they did, it was a $4 million budget. That's a lot of money, man. It's crazy. I'm like, how do you even get that money?

So maybe, you know, we're looking at much smaller productions, like 100 grand, you know, budget that's a lot of money man it's crazy i'm like how do you even get that money so maybe you know we're looking at much smaller productions like a hundred grand you know maybe maybe some documentaries and things like that but yeah well we can definitely do some fundraisers to it for people who are interested all right let's see chief strider says tim the civil war hawk did you know that the truckers blocking the border and commerce can be viewed as an act of domestic terror, which would give the government the opening to use the military? Yes, that's literally why they're doing it. And I think it's a peaceful protest, but what do you know, man? I don't know. All right, let's just read one more. We got Crypto Daddy says from West Virginia, lost my job for refusing to wear a mask after I had COVID and

vaxxed weren't required union rep and supervisor were related lied about what happened would love to tell my story and intern uh send an email to spin the ufo at gmail.com and again this is one of the things that i'm really really against and and these unconstitutional mandates you know i just i i cannot support when you're watching your first responders who are being terminated for not taking these vaccinations or you're putting people into a position or a predicament where it's either you keep, you know, you have to make the decision. Do I take a vaccination that I don't really want to take in order to feed my family? Or do I stand on my principles and then I have to worry about putting food on the table for my kids? No American should have to come to that.
