Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States has announced that he has cancer. Okay, the bit's over. Here you go. You can have your glasses back. He actually did, and I felt like we needed a dramatic opener, and I was like, I need glasses. And he was like, where are my glasses? And I was like, we've got to do a dramatic moment. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:00:21 If Joe Biden's brain worked, I'd take it seriously. And the issue is I don't think his brain works. So when he says that he had cancer, I kind of feel like he probably doesn't. But I don't know, because maybe he does. And maybe that's why his brain doesn't work. What a crazy world that we live in. I got to be completely honest. It is absolutely insane that the president came out, gave a speech and said, I and so damn many other people have cancer. And he was making a reference to to the oil industry and stuff. And it's just like, wait, wait a minute. Everyone's like, bro, what? You have cancer. And then the White House comes
Starting point is 00:00:53 out and they're like, no, no, no, no. He had cancer. And it's like, whoa, Biden had cancer. When? Well, just before he got elected. You didn't tell us the president. Well, it was. OK, this story is getting a little crazy. So we're gonna have to break that one down. And then there's other big news. Apparently, Hunter Biden is actually facing criminal charges for tax avoidance and over the gun in Delaware. So I'm just kind of like, yo, I got to be honest. You you go after him for the gun thing. I have a little bit more faith in the government, to be completely honest. Not like I have any to begin with, but a little bit, maybe. Maybe you won't be such a double standard.
Starting point is 00:01:27 I still can't believe that Joe Biden said that he has cancer. So, yeah. Anyway, we're going to talk about that. Don't forget to head over to TimCast.com.

Starting point is 00:03:15 Thank you all for having us on. I appreciate it. I actually, listen, you're talking about the bone broth. What I love about you is you're actually investing back in your people. You're giving them daggone financial compensation for going to the gym and getting shredded. So, man, I don't know whether they'd be smart. They'll even look better as well. So hats off to you, man.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I appreciate it. Oh, yeah. So you're with Soldier Fit. Do you want to explain that? Yeah. So Soldier Fit is a business I started when I got back from Iraq. We're a functional fitness gym. And then I also have the nonprofit Platoon 22, which we started off as a suicide awareness movement, started after the second soldier from Frederick County committed suicide. And really
Starting point is 00:03:49 what we've morphed into now is best in class transition. We've raised a million dollars to build the first ever Platoon Veteran Services Center, which will be in a 45 minute drive of 70% of Maryland's veterans. And we look to take this national from here. So we'll be open in November 10th if anybody wants to come out and really going to provide best-in-class transitional support for our war fighters right on and what you were mentioning before is like i've never i don't think i've ever mentioned this but uh you do a fitness thing soldier fit and then you actually have a bunch of our employees doing physical fitness and training yeah our good friend luke had you come out and do and did this big thing and then i to everybody who does it, we'll give you a bonus. We'll give you a hundred bucks for doing this once a week. And yeah,
Starting point is 00:04:29 people have been keeping it up. So they're going to, they're coming for your money, man. I mean, they're in there Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, the way I see it is someone who is healthy and fit is more productive and they're, they're, they're going to be happier. They're going to be healthier. It's better for them. It's better for me. So we'll throw them a bonus for staying fit. I can actually get you a number on that. Wilco has actually broke that number down to for every dollar that you invest
Starting point is 00:04:54 in your employees' health, you'll receive a $3 return on your investment and reduction in sick days, increased productivity, as you talked about there, drops in your insurance rates. So, you know, hey, it's a good investment. Me, it's kind of just I think it's kind of more political,
Starting point is 00:05:10 personal. I just think people should be healthy and do what they can. And so when I saw people were into it, I was like, we'll throw you $100 a week for every time you do this thing. So right on, man. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having us. We also got Hannah Claire. Do you want to introduce yourself? Hi, I'm Hannah Claire Brimlow. Can you hear me? I'm a writer for TimCast.com, actually.
Starting point is 00:05:25 That's right. I will apparently be signing up for Soldier Fit. I did not realize we got a bonus for this. I've been running on the trail like a hooligan. It's a sucker. I mean, a bear could get you. You weren't out. So it was like everybody was outside and Luke was like, you know, getting in shape, yelling at people. I remember hearing this happen,
Starting point is 00:05:41 but the thing that happens to me is I get sucked into the news cycle and spend a lot of time just at my computer. So I actually probably need to be at SultraFit. I pulled up to my bike, and Danny was like, get in here. And Luke was like, come on, Tim. And I was like, I don't got time for this. I'm too busy, but I'll give all of you $100 for doing this. And everyone's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Like, I dig it. Yeah. Everyone who does it comes into the office, and they're like, oh, yeah, dude, we did that thing this morning. Like, they're super intense. They're hyped up. They chest bump. Yeah. Everyone who does it comes into the office and they're like, oh, yeah, dude, we did that thing this morning. Like, they're super intense. They're hyped up. They chest bump. Yeah. It's like a lot of testosterone.
Starting point is 00:06:10 The voice has got deeper. It does. It's all the women. Yeah. So maybe I'll renounce running. Honestly, my biggest thing is for women to lift. I think women need to lift more than men do, if I'm honest. Well, okay.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I'll see you at Solar Fit. All right. 6.30 tomorrow morning. Tim, that's $100. Hey, guys. Well, okay. I'll see you at Soldier Fit. All right. 6.30 tomorrow morning. Tim, that's $100. Hey, guys. Ian Crossland. My girlfriend's actually just got back from a lifting session earlier today. Maybe I'll turn her on to your gym.
Starting point is 00:06:32 This is very impressive. IanCrossland.net. Happy to see you. Let's get going. Andy has been going to Soldier Fit every morning that he can. Some mornings he doesn't get. It's just become part of our morning. He comes back.
Starting point is 00:06:43 He's all hype. He said today he lifted like 380 pounds. I was like, I don't believe you. And he showed me the video. And I was like, what the heck is going on over there? So they're having a great time over there. So I'm delighted to have Danny right on everybody. Let's get into this first story.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Possibly one of the biggest stories of our generation. Joe Biden says he has cancer thanks to the oil industry. And then I love how they add this. But White House points to skin cancer years ago. Okay. industry. And then I love how they add this. But White House points to skin cancer years ago. Okay, okay, hold on there a minute. Joe Biden said he had cancer. I mean... The remark initially appeared to be a stunningly casual health announcement
Starting point is 00:07:15 during a speech about global warming in which the president described emissions from oil refineries near his childhood home in Claymont, Delaware. Quote, That's why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer and why for the longest time Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation. White House spokesman Andrew Bates referred the post to a tweet from Washington Post columnist Glenn Kessler, who noted that Biden had non-melanoma skin cancers removed before he took office.
Starting point is 00:07:43 I don't buy it. Look, I get it. Joe Biden's brain ain't all with it. And maybe he just gaffed. But to have this, like, the spokesman pointed to a journalist who pointed to a claim. Yeah, I don't understand why he couldn't just say himself, like, this is what happened to the president if they really did remove the melanomas or whatever. Like, why do you have to refer to the Washington Post?
Starting point is 00:08:02 You are the original source for this. He didn't have his note cards. Yeah, that's right yeah that's an important part yeah yeah he didn't know what to say that now look look look joe biden gaffes all the time so i'm not going to sit here and be like this is the one time he wasn't gaffing like no literally everything out of his mouth is probably gibberish nonsense so i don't know what this means but there's two kinds of gaffes there's the accidental blurting of the truth gaffe, and then there's the trinan and a shot but a pressure gaffe. Which one is this?
Starting point is 00:08:29 This has got to be the truth. People don't – you don't accidentally tell people you have cancer. Anyone. I've never met anyone. Anyone. I mean, I don't know people that are suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's. I don't know a lot of them, and maybe they say things like that. If they had it, they still think they have it.
Starting point is 00:08:43 But then if that's an indication of his Alzheimer's or dementia, that's another problem altogether. It's bad too, yeah. It's one or the other. Either he's being honest or he's blatantly lying to people for sympathy, which I don't think is the goal. Well, and it's a problem that it's present tense, right? He's not saying, I had cancer. He's saying, I have it. So that's sort of a strange thing to not take an immediate strong response from.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I think he's slipped out the truth, maybe. Let me play this clip. I think, let me see if it'll play properly. Here we go. Okay, does it make me go to Twitter? All right. Oh, here we go. I always have the wrong button clicked.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Nice aviators, Joe. Nice aviators. ... lane highway that was accessible. My mother drove us, and rather than us being able to walk. And guess what? The first frost, you knew what was happening. You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. That's why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And why can't, for the longest time delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation so you know what makes me think it's possibly him spreading out the truth is his indignation like his anger you know like if it was something he had a long time ago if he got cancer when he's talking about when he was young what he got skin melanomas 70 years after he left you know what i mean so so it sounds to me more like this might be a, he's just his brain fog, and then he just says it without. Look, I mean, if he had cancer, it could explain a whole lot. It could explain literally why he gaffes so much.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I think the thing that's crazy about it nowadays is you would have never thought 10, 15, 20 years ago that we would have information this readily available and they would still be able to twist it and change the narrative of what it is. You know, this isn't something that's heard second or third party. This is literally broadcast nationally, internationally at the time. And then instantaneously, we just say it's something different. Let's think about how crazy it is if the story is he doesn't have cancer. The president accidentally told the world he has cancer?
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yikes. Yeah. Okay. Either his brain is so broken he accidentally told the world he has cancer, or the dude has cancer. Or what if he has cancer and he dies in the next year or two? No, no, it's okay, because then we get President Kamala. But you get that, but I'm saying at that point in time,
Starting point is 00:11:04 how do you not let the autopsy report go i mean it's president united states you're not going to release that and so then you either lie about how he died or it comes out that you covered up that he really did have cancer and now you're sitting down here and was like hold on well you knew he had it and you lied that he had it and now just again the public trust just continues to erode and fall farther and farther. We have a very important quote here from anarchist author Michael Malice. Oh, good. Who said, don't worry about Joe Biden having cancer.
Starting point is 00:11:34 He is married to a doctor. Referring to the fact that First Lady Jill Biden uses the honorific doctor to note her 2007 doctorate in education. I love it. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure the education thing she has isn't like a, it's not the same thing as a PhD or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I don't know what it is. It's something else. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what it is. I wanted to say, I worked with old people for the first 10 years of my career, and as you get older,
Starting point is 00:11:55 you still can grasp some of these concepts, but you lose your filter, and it just comes out. You just blurt it out, and that's, I liked it, because I got to actually know people,
Starting point is 00:12:03 because there was no, like, you know, there's no pitter-patter. They're not trying to pretend there's something they're not they'll just tell you exactly what they think right up front i think that's what he's doing here it's still crazy to me though that the stuff that he gets a pass for like i remember you know when president bush the the son was in office and he wasn't a great orator how many people just decimated him when he had a flub here or there? And some of the stuff that Trump said, how many people ridiculed him for that? But Biden can just say the most off-the-wall outlandish stuff on planet Earth,
Starting point is 00:12:34 and it just gets swept down the road. I'll say, though, now Dana Carvey's making fun of him on Kimmel. Did you see it? Trevor Noah, yeah. Oh, Trevor Noah did, too? They're finally making fun of the way Biden talks. He's this weird man getting real quiet and then getting real loud. I mean, you should watch the Dana Carnegie skit. Maybe we can talk about it on the after show or go into it more or even on this show if it comes up again.
Starting point is 00:12:52 But that's kind of like the tide has turned. People are like, okay, we got what we needed out of them now. But the successor in the wings is no better. Yeah, I was going to say, for a long time, the White House refused to put out his uh they kept saying he was gonna have his annual health exam well it was delayed something's going on and it went on for such a long time to a certain point it just seemed like they wanted us to stop asking about it and the other thing that's so strange about his presidency is how much time he spends at his home in delaware i mean they don't release the visitor logs for that so we just don't know what goes on there i mean it's total conspiracy for me to say this, but like if he is being treated
Starting point is 00:13:29 for something, that's an easy place for him to receive care in the privacy of his own home. Good point. He's been retreating quite a bit. I mean, I think it was something like over 50% of the weekends that he was president during his first year. He wasn't at the Oval Office. He wasn't at the White House. I think the majority of them were spent in Delaware at one of his two residences. Well, where were they doing the – I know they did a bunch of the mock-ups of the fake Oval Office when he was getting his shots and stuff. Where were those at? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I heard they were across the street in a studio. Which is even weirder. Yeah. Yeah. What? But I couldn't confirm that. I don't know where it was. I keep thinking about FDR, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had polio.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Yeah. And he was like crippled. It became crippling paralysis started to affect him while he was in office. Yeah. But he just lied to everyone, didn't announce it. And he put the front panel on the desk at the overall office. Oh, interesting. That's why they had to hide his wheelchair.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I got a picture of him like holding on to a metal railing while he's tossed smiling. And people didn't know. They didn't. Because it was, we were, I guess the theory was we're at at war we don't want to freak out the public we want to project strength which is like the thing you were talking about y'all were talking about on the show the other day about how aoc get in power but she wants to do good to get there right well that's the slippery slope that comes with that like you can absolutely justify why he lied about polio right this is a betterment for the country we don't want to seem weak the whole nine yards.
Starting point is 00:14:45 But at the same time, you just justified lying to the people about the realities that they're facing. And it's a bad slope to go down. What do we do? I'm just like... Panic? We're facing two scenarios. The president is so demented, he accidentally told the world he had cancer. Now, the enemies of the United States, they're not sitting there going like, but does he have cancer?
Starting point is 00:15:11 They're going like, either way, this dude is weak and now's our opportunity to destroy this country. Do you think the cancer quote has any effect on that at all? I mean, everybody looked at him like that, as he is. I mean, he shook hands with the air. Twice. A couple times. Twice he did. Yeah, I wonder if maybe this is actually 40 chess from Joe Biden. looked at him like that as he is i mean he shook hands with the air it's twice a couple times twice he did yeah i wonder if maybe this is actually uh 40 chess from joe biden make your enemies think
Starting point is 00:15:30 you're weak when you're strong he read he read sun sue the art of war that's why he fell down off the bike too that's right okay it's a big ruse okay he shows up to these meetings and putin's like the weak biden and then biden goes listen here, champ. I'm going to tell you exactly what's going on. And Putin's like, oh, no, Biden is strong. When do you think he would announce that he's not running for re-election? Soon. Because they need to start getting ready for the Democratic primaries, if that's the case. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Yeah. When would that, when do the primaries start getting announced? Next year. Okay. But usually, you know, like even right now with Trump, the conversations are starting to pop up of who is it going to be. We're starting to hear the same conversations on the Democrat side. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Hillary Clinton announced that, or I don't know if it was official, but said that she was going to run against Trump. No, she didn't say that. Well, this is what I read on Twitter. I don't know if it's all confirmed. I didn't hear it out of her mouth either. I thought they were looking at old… Newsom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Which is nuts to me. It's nuts to me it's nuts to me how he didn't lose the recall is still, I don't grasp that concept at all, but as bad as California is doing, everybody leaves why would that be your guy? just because it's a big state? you know
Starting point is 00:16:39 people are in a cult he looks like American Psycho he does I think he does. Oh, dude. He does. He totally does. Yeah. I think it's like, to contrast him with Biden, he's young. He has a young family.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Like, he looks healthy. I'm not saying I'm for a Newsom run at all. I mean, you just said he was attractive two minutes ago. You said that. He's tall. So he's got that over Buttigieg. Is it Buttigieg? Is that how you pronounce it?
Starting point is 00:17:02 Buttigieg. Buttigieg. Buttigieg. Who I don't hate. You know, I don't really hate these people. But, like, Buttigieg. Buttigieg, who I don't hate. I don't really hate these people, but like Buttigieg. Buttigieg. Sorry, buddy. Whatever you say.
Starting point is 00:17:10 He's smaller. He's like 5'9". I don't know how tall he is, but he looks little. Yeah. And so they want people like towering presence. So I think Newsom has that going for him. But Biden has the towering height as well. It's nuts, man.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I don't see how – I still – I think that the biggest thing that continuously shocks me about the country is that you know you have these people that are in office especially in congress for literally decades and they just keep getting re-elected everybody knows they're not worth two cents and we keep catching them like you know gavin when he was how many times was he in restaurants when it was when it was shut down and he had his mask off. But then he just, oh, you know, I slipped. I was taking photos. And people just forgive it and just go on. I don't understand how that happens.
Starting point is 00:17:52 This is a great moral conversation because, like, should leadership lie to its subordinates? That's the question. Like in the military, if they know they're going into, like, a suicide or a mission where it's probably not going to be very good, do they tell the troops that ahead of time or are they like, here's the mission? You know, in my experience, if you're about ready to go down a bad road, we know it's a bad road. You know that you're going to get hit. If you're going to run down IED Alley, you know you're going down IED Alley.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I'm sure there's probably at some point in time, we used to joke about it when I was in, like are they sending us on, because I had to go to the Iranian border twice because I did convoy escort and we're like okay is this how we're going to start the war with Iran they're going to send us out there as a sacrificial lambs to get blown up and then we'll come back and we're going to be stopped so we would joke about that but generally speaking
Starting point is 00:18:38 my experience has been like if you knew you were about ready to get into it even though the greatest oxymoron is military intelligence they at least try to tell you like hey were about ready to get into it, even though the greatest oxymoron is military intelligence, they at least tried to tell you, hey, this is going to be for real. But with the president telling the American citizens, hey, here's some strategy, that will get leaked to the other humans around the earth. Your commander telling your platoon something, the platoon is not going to go tell the Iraqi soldiers what's happening. So it's secure. They didn't take it a different step further.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I mean, a lot of times if something like that is going to go tell the Iraqi soldiers what's happening. So it's secure. They can take it a different step further. I mean, a lot of times if something like that is going to go down, I'll even give you another example of that isn't necessarily like OPSEC, but like if a service member got killed, they would actually shut down like the internet lines and everything there. So you couldn't tell family back home until the military had a time to tell the family back home you know so they have constraints on stuff along those lines and again like back in war two loose lips sink ships like that was a big thing but when you look at this type stuff like whether or not he should tell the world he has cancer right you i think he should you should know who's coming in next you should know what's going on there, right? And cancer isn't necessarily a death sentence,
Starting point is 00:19:48 but at least we can understand why you're shaking hands with a glove laying in the corner. I want to jump to this story. It's the same story from Fox News, but to make a different point. Fox News reports Biden's cancer claim shocks Twitter users, either the biggest bombshell or biggest gaffe. I think it's a fair assessment. But what I want to talk about in relation to Joe Biden and Donald Trump is this up here in the top right, the NewsGuard certification.
Starting point is 00:20:11 As of July 18th, the Daily Beast has been reinstated as true, real news. And Fox News has been downranked. Fascinating. And so the reason is they say that fox doesn't regularly correct errors because there's a bunch of stuff that tucker carlson's put out that uh is factually incorrect and i think news guard is actually right about that but there's an interesting question in outside of just fox news in the presidency let me show you this news guard says while former president trump did claim in a february 28th 2021 fox news interview that he requested that Congress authorize 10,000 National Guardsmen to bolster Capitol security
Starting point is 00:20:48 before January 6th, there has been no corroboration of this claim. Why is it? That when there is something that is for the narrative, they can choose to ignore the president. Whatever the narrative is, they will ignore. If Donald Trump came out and admitted to wrongdoing, they would say, well, Trump confirmed it. If Donald Trump comes out and admitted to wrongdoing they would say well Trump confirmed it if Donald Trump comes out and admits to something or says something happened that would be bad for their narrative they say it's fake news
Starting point is 00:21:11 how does News Guard decide that the word of the President of the United States is not good enough to accept meanwhile Joe Biden can come out and say he has cancer to the world and it's also considered less than credible now that's a very serious problem. If the president is outright and overtly lying and the media just says, oh, yeah, we don't take the president's word for it. I can understand that you want verification. Yet, if you Google
Starting point is 00:21:34 search Biden confirms, you'll see a bunch of story about Biden confirming the cost of, you know, Biden confirms unprecedented G7 move on Putin set to cost billions. How do we know? It's the president. His words meaningless. We need. Well, Biden's also said he has cancer. Why should I believe anything? Why should the media be allowed to claim that Biden's confirmed something and then say, oh, but his cancer is not true?
Starting point is 00:21:57 How many times has Biden come out and said something nonsensical? And then the White House has come out and said, actually, what really happened is this. When Donald Trump says something, they say he's lying about it. You can't trust him. It's a nonsense reality where the media decides when the president's telling the truth. How does that make sense? My thing is, I mean, you do the journalist thing. I think the real question is, when did it it stop that you have that ethical basis of unbiased, right? I'm just going to report the facts as they are.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I'm not going to tell, I'm not going to put any lenience on it. This is what he said. You make the decision of whether or not it is. Why does it have to have all the other context behind it? And we don't do it either way you look at it. CNN watchers don't get mad when CNN does it, but they get mad when Fox does it and vice versa.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I still believe the problem in America, as much as we talk about the system, it's not the system. It's Americans. And I love the country. I ran for office. I ran for office in Frederick. I ran for county council at large. I ran actually the year last governor race when the mood in the country was significantly anti-Trump and Democrats came out in droves. I ran as a Republican because in Maryland,
Starting point is 00:23:11 you got to pick, right? I knocked on over 100,000 doors. Do you know how many times I discussed my platform? How many? One time, huh? One time. Ironically, it was an older man wearing a Bernie Sanders shirt smoking weed in his retirement. We had a good 45-minute conversation with the guy. But every door I knocked on, it was, what are you running as? And if I was running at what you wanted me to run as, you got my vote. Like you didn't even know what I was – you had no clue what my platform was. And if I wasn't what you wanted me to be, you slammed the door in my face and walked off.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Crazy. Yeah. Well, I think at one time in our country, your party affiliation was shorthand for the things that you believed in and your values, not just politically but culturally. And that shifted so much. I mean, the senator from – I'm forgetting his name right now – from Oregon who just lost. He's the first incumbent elected official from Oregon to lose a race since the 1980s. He said, you know, I'm a moderate Democrat and basically our party has been controlled by socialists. So it has moved away from me. I know that we hear conservatives say this on many different directions. I mean, you'll
Starting point is 00:24:21 talk to libertarians who say, I don't feel the way my parents felt socially. I identify fiscally as conservative, but I'm socially left. I think that we are coming out of a day and age where you could believe someone's political affiliation to be something of substance, whereas now you really do have to do the work to ask someone, and no one wants to do that, especially when you know, when you're suddenly, you know, I think it's great that you went door to door, but like if you're, you have kids in the house, you're doing something else, you don't want to be like, well, how do you feel about this? These are the issues that are important to me. You want the shorthand.
Starting point is 00:24:56 You want to say, oh, you're affiliated with my team. That's good enough. And that just doesn't really function in today's society. I mean, the real rubber meets the road and no one pays attention to this, is the local elections. Everybody's hung up on Congress and president. But, hey, if your property tax is going up, that's the county council guy. And when we went to debates, and I'm running for the entire county county there were like 10 people in the audience and it's like you guys really we're not involved and we have the liberty honestly to not be involved
Starting point is 00:25:32 because for the most part people like well listen man like i'm doing okay you know i'm eating i'm not worried about whether or not i'm going to get mugged i'm not worried about an armed insurrection right now so who really cares about tom that owns a shoe shop that's running for county council? But that's who makes and breaks your life, really. This is why it always irks me a little bit when people say, you know, vote for me for Congress and I'll clean up this town or things of that nature. And I'm like, no, you won't. You're going to go to D.C. and represent us to them. If you want to clean up your town, your neighbor, you've got to vote local.
Starting point is 00:26:04 And the most important thing, especially for populists, is voting local. Because some people are in favor of a convention of states, some aren't. But you want to set the rules, you want to change the laws in your state, maybe you're pro-choice, maybe you're pro-life, that's your state reps. The left might be wondering why Texas is banning abortion. Well, the state level politicians are the one who do that, not Congress. But all anyone ever talks about is national level stuff. It's a mistake. The governor of New Hampshire really upset people when he said he wasn't going to run for Senate.
Starting point is 00:26:34 He was going to stay in New Hampshire because he believed his work was he could do more for the people of New Hampshire as governor than as senator. Because as senator, you end up spending most of your time in Washington. I mean, if you it, it's not that there isn't a place for both, but I think being involved locally is really where you make a huge difference. It's unappreciated. I think the real catch-22 is that I really feel that 85% to 90% of people that go into politics honestly initially go into politics for very, very good reasons, very honest reasons, ethical reasons. They want to make a difference.
Starting point is 00:27:10 The problem is the longer you play that game, the more you become institutionalized with what it takes to get something to actually be accomplished. I think a lot of people lose sight of how complicated even a state-level bill is, much less trying to pass a law that's going to affect the entire United States. And that's why we get these bills that are ungodly links that have, you know, I'm going to make something up at the time, you know, we want to pet puppies is thrown in with, hey, let's give $20 billion to Ukraine. But we lead with let's pet puppies.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Right. Right. And it's like one paragraph of we want to pet puppies and then 5,000 pages of how we're going to strip money from the working class to fund a war in Ukraine. But the problem is... Senator votes against pet puppies. Yes. They do this to Thomas Massey a lot.
Starting point is 00:27:56 He'll be like, I voted no on this. How could you vote no against puppies? Because of that provision said we blow them up afterwards. But then no one wants to listen to that part either. That part's boring. It's always bothered me that people get so frustrated with federal politics. I'm like, you need to look at your next-door neighbor.
Starting point is 00:28:11 You need to look at who's running for city council, who your mayor is going to be, who's running your school board. These are important questions that affect you way more than the president ever will. Honestly. And people don't want to put the work in. The federal government is there.
Starting point is 00:28:23 We can complain about them. It's not that big a deal. Sure, they tax us, whatever, but for the most part, they leave us alone. They tax, though. Yeah, oh, I know. But if you actually do want to make a positive difference in your culture, you need to run like you did
Starting point is 00:28:35 or you need to at least, very least, pay attention to what's going on in your own community. I think part of why national politics is easier to get involved in is because it's televised. A lot of it's televised. We watch C-SPAN and crap like that. But local politics isn't televised enough for people to like – because they don't want to go to the meeting.
Starting point is 00:28:50 People just don't want to. They want to stay at home and witness it from their TV if they can. I think it is, but people have only watched national news. So it's like when you turn the – nowadays with the internet, you're not turning on your local news to see a local public access. People are turning on C-SPAN for Congress or they're pulling up CNN that only talks about the Fed or federal level. I mean at the reality now, speaking broad generalizations, like in today's society and economy, both parents have to work. Your kids are involved in 15 different things.
Starting point is 00:29:22 So they're going right from piano practice to football practice to ballet practice. They got a busier schedule than most adults now. And so these debates and things, they don't take place to 5.30, 6.30 at night on a Thursday afternoon. Well, that's little Timmy soccer practice. What's the likelihood that I'm going to come to that? And that's where you lose it.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Is that like Calvinism? The idea that if everyone's working they can't do anything else i don't know i could be mixing things up calvinism was a sect of christianity i believe it could be um like puritanism maybe there's like this idea busy keep everybody busy toiling the fields so that they can't do anything else if everybody has to work 24 7 they can never revolt you don't any trouble, I think is what the thought is. No one can get into mischief or be lazy or do something like that. That's like the road to Kim Jong-un's keep everyone starving and then they won't revolt kind of mentality.
Starting point is 00:30:15 But the other problem here now, and we saw this in Maryland, and I was going off about this today because I still can't believe they pushed Cox through in the primary. But at every measurable thing that you can look at just about, Maryland is substantially better off than it was before Governor Hogan took office. And because one or two, I hate the term rhino. It drives me nuts because anytime somebody disagrees with one thing that a Republican said, he or she is now automatically a rhino. And it's really decimated a lot of times the Republican Party, in my opinion. But they go in here and they make this big push for him. And I'm like, dude, you're never going to agree with everything that everyone says. I guarantee you every one of us disagrees on something at this
Starting point is 00:31:01 table, right? But what you have to look at is, what is the overall picture? Are we much better than we were there? And then at the same time, like I was arguing with the guy, he was talking about DeSantis. I was like, DeSantis couldn't come here and win in Maryland. And Governor Hogan couldn't take Maryland policy
Starting point is 00:31:18 to Florida and get anything done. It's two completely different electorates. And no one wants to acknowledge that. And it's like, listen, if you love DeSantis that much in Florida, which I think it. I went to Daytona during bike week and COVID and they were having a blast. Move to Florida. That's your solution. But if you're going to stay in Maryland, what are your choices?
Starting point is 00:31:39 You got your choices of having improvement where he took us from like, I think, 46th in business and economy to six over eight years. That's massive. Why would you not be happy about this? I want to ask this question because I'm not sure if it was Alex Jones or someone. I think it might have been Alex implying that Joe Biden would get sick and then they would replace him or bring in Kamala because Joe Biden can't run. So the question that we've been asking right now, is Joe Biden going to run for another term? He says yes.
Starting point is 00:32:09 I don't know if I believe it because you've got all these Democrats lining up. You've even got prominent Democrats outright saying to journalists, we don't think Biden's going to run. We don't want him to run. Polls are showing they don't want Biden to run. So how could Biden run against the will of the Democrat voters, against the will of other Democrats, and in the face of all the Democrats running against them? But if that's the case, how do you get Biden out now? Well, some have suggested he'll get sick, or he is sick, or something will happen to his son. I'm wondering what you guys
Starting point is 00:32:38 think about this, you know, just bouncing back to the cancer thing, but taking it this direction. Could it be that this is meant to be sort of just um a little little little sprinkling of the biden is very sick thing so that when finally the time comes i'll say you know like uh other presidents who have feigned illness yes he's sick and he needs to step down and kamala's moving in i think no but it wasn't intentional only because of their response like no, he meant he used to have it. But I think it is an indication that he's sick and that they will pivot into that as it comes up. I think he'll actually run.
Starting point is 00:33:12 He'll be on stage with other Democrats that are running and he'll be like, you know what? You're right. You're the one that needs to take the torch and get his 60 million followers to just clap and smile and turn towards the next person in line, whoever he. I wonder if it's going to be opposite.
Starting point is 00:33:27 I wonder if they're going to be like, OK, Joe, so you're not going to run next anymore. So just just keep it cool. And he's going to be out somewhere. He's like, yeah. So when I run for reelection, they're going to be like, what do we do? Because we don't actually want to support this guy anymore. But I think the fact is Joe Biden's old. He is sick.
Starting point is 00:33:42 I don't know if he has cancer. But imagine what would happen PR wise for the Democrats. if Joe Biden was on stage in a debate and collapsed. That would be bad for Biden but good for Democrats. It's so funny that he said, I have cancer. And you were like, I don't know if he has cancer. Like you just don't know. Anyone that came to me and told me that, I would believe them. Why would you think they were lying to you?
Starting point is 00:34:03 That's crazy. I know. It's crazy, right? Why do you think it would be good for Democrats? It would create a whole lot of sympathy. It would give Biden an exit, which would be honorable. An honorable exit. They would say, you know, Biden sacrificed himself to stop Trump, that kind of stuff, or sacrificed his health.
Starting point is 00:34:23 They would ham it up. They would say, here's a man who stepped out of retirement after he lost his son, knowing he was sick because he knew America needed a leader. And then he gets sick and maybe he doesn't die. Maybe he just collapses. That's the perfect exit for Biden. It's the perfect positive PR spin. So I'm not saying it will happen. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:44 It gives him kind of like a martyr-like, heroic exit. But I don't think they won't, Camilla. I mean, I think. Which I still don't understand how she got the nod as the VP. I agree. But just because she steps up as VP doesn't mean she runs in 2024. She'll go out there. Let's say hypothetically Joe Biden Biden faints, you know, on stage or something at some kind of town hall.
Starting point is 00:35:10 And they're like, oh, no. And then he's like, I can't run. You know, the American people, you're going to need someone younger. Kamala steps in. Remember when they announced the 25th Amendment panel and everyone was like, they're trying to get Trump out. And then people like, no, no, it's for Biden. Like they were preparing to remove Biden. So they did that.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And a lot of people said that, you know, that's what's going to happen. It could still happen. Biden gets sick faints. Kamala Harris says, I'm going to come in and I'm going to take over as president, but I'm going to step aside and let someone else run. And not gesticulating correctly. She does a lot of this motion. Well, you know, I do my best.
Starting point is 00:35:49 We, the collective, knowing what we know, are going to do what we've always done today. And I'm going to nominate Gatton for be president. I just, I think she is, I still don't understand. Like, obviously, the people that put this stuff together have more experience with it than I do. But of all the people you could have picked, I mean, she wasn't even popular with what they were going for on the base. The DNC picks them. Yeah. And they pick Biden, and they're going to pick the next one.
Starting point is 00:36:14 And they'll probably tell Biden, we picked this person. Now just support them or something like that. Kamala Harris checked the right boxes, I guess. Yeah, diversity. Yeah, diversity. Woman of color, diversity. But you couldn't find anyone else? I mean, like, even the big...
Starting point is 00:36:27 Tulsi Gabbard was woman of color. I'm a fan. Yeah, yeah. Right? But she doesn't think inside their box. I mean, Tulsi Gabbard is too independent for them. I don't think... I think Kamala Harris knew this was her shot.
Starting point is 00:36:38 She couldn't have run... I mean, she wasn't going to get the nomination on her own. I gotta say, you know, when we were talking about AOC, she went on Colbert, and she made up this mishmash hodgepodge of Civil War history that was just hilariously brilliant. And it was a Chad move. It was the ultimate Chad move to go and just go on national television and just make up history. And you got to think about Kamala Harris. You know, when she does these speeches that are considered auto-text, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:05 predictive text filler, that's also a Chad move. She's going up on stage knowing she's saying nothing and people clap for her. It's just like the ultimate mockery of your own constituents. And she just throws that cackle in behind it. And it's just like nails on a chalkboard. It's the worst thing i mean she has incredibly low uh approval ratings she's not popular at all i don't know how she but who do you pick though who do you take if you could if you could right now your choice you got
Starting point is 00:37:35 you you gotta you gotta go biden or you gotta go her who do you want running the nation oh her kamala okay i'd rather have a particular predictive text generation, a literal predictive text generator than either of them here's my fear with Joe Biden I think he's corrupt but he's brain damaged so he might be like I want to get a shipment
Starting point is 00:37:58 into Iran and you're like, Iran? do you mean Iraq? what? no and then they're like, I guess we're going to be shipping Iran a bunch of military supplies the president said so, and you're like, Iran? Do you mean Iraq? What? No. And then they're like, I guess we're going to be shipping Iran a bunch of military supplies. The president said so. And you're like, whoa, dude. I get he wanted to make money off this illicit deal, but he's sending weapons. When Biden accidentally said Libya over and over again, I'm like, imagine him in the situation
Starting point is 00:38:19 where I'm like, tell him to press the button and they're bombing the wrong country. At least Kamala Harris is corrupt, but she can speak properly you know what i mean like they're both not all with it but she's just a little bit more cognitively with it i mean honestly that's a point i hadn't really thought about it is like you know you do get your finger on the on the button you're just begging me to hit it and then i say the wrong place well we'll check it out it's you know kamala and biden are both corrupt but kamala lives on this planet and wants to keep living on this planet joe biden too but his brain doesn't work so you know biden might accidentally blow us up kamala doesn't want to ruin she doesn't want to kill the peasants who supply her with slave labor you know what i mean the question is though for me who do you think pulls the strings?
Starting point is 00:39:06 Like, I don't believe there's some reptilian, like, you know, you go back, all of a sudden you pull the mask off and there's a lizard person there. But at the same time, it's like, for you to have that much control, is it one person? Is it a group of people?
Starting point is 00:39:20 How do you get to be in the group of people? Like, who is actually the one filling out his note card saying, hey, say this, and then also repeat line? I mean, it may just be staffers. But that's scary in a way. That's like super scary. I feel like you'd want to take a critical look at who is propping Biden up because they have so much influence right now, especially if he's not capable of like saying no or being like, maybe I shouldn't say that.
Starting point is 00:39:46 I mean, this guy is reading his stage directions. The shadow government is a 22-year-old intern with no governmental experience. He's just like, I guess Biden should probably say he doesn't want to blow up Russia. He's in so deep. He doesn't want to get fired. He's freaked out. And my experience with those interns is they're not really happy. I mean, I've been down to Capital to testify for stuff before. They literally have, which I've always thought was funny
Starting point is 00:40:07 when they talk about minimum wage and they've got a staffer that the door literally opens into them in their little office on the thing. They're working 70, 80 hours for like $12 an hour. So he's mad. He's angry. And all of a sudden, you know what? Hey, you know what? It's literally Ron Burgundy. We're going to show him this time. He's putting on the prompter.
Starting point is 00:40:23 End of quote, repeat the line. Yep. He's doing it because he could say F you, America, but that's too heavy-handed. It's too much. Biden might catch that one. No. He said repeat Ron. Repeat the line.
Starting point is 00:40:35 That's bad. That's crazy. That's bad. That's horrible. Well, that's America for you, I guess. This is what the American people wanted, huh? They voted. Idiocracy.
Starting point is 00:40:44 That's what apathy gets. Well, I think it's a cult. I think it's the media. I think it's apathy for a lot of people. They go out and they just hit the D. But I think they were able to get a lot of people in a cult. Oh, yeah. You asked why is the media.
Starting point is 00:40:58 At what point did the media stop serving the transparency and start serving an agenda? My thought, the answer to that is when we go to war, whenever the country goes to war, the media apparatus rallies to start printing propaganda, war propaganda. We really, we went to war, not technically, but in 2001 when we hit Iraq, and then it's never stopped.
Starting point is 00:41:17 We're still in this turmoil, and now I guess you could say we're out of Iraq, we're still occupying, or we're out of Afghanistan, we're still occupying Iraq, and now Russia, there's a war between the Ukraine and Russia that the government seems to want to be involved in. What blows my mind is this shift from 9-12, because I took the first, I responded to the Pentagon on the terrorist attacks, and secured the Pentagon, and then ultimately took the first team in to start doing remains removal. And when we would leave the Pentagon to go back
Starting point is 00:41:43 to do shift changes you just see everybody i mean honking the horn waving the flag everybody unified and in such a relatively short period of time we've just become just really two almost warring tribes and like literally they've had people say you know you might have to fight your neighbor. So for me, it's like, when did we make that major, major shift? And was it just because the news went to a 24-hour cycle and now they need to sell commercial space or they're only going to put the most divisive, angry rhetoric up because it keeps people engaged? Or is it something more than that? I think after the 9-11, there was a lot of Muslim hate, and that created the tribes.
Starting point is 00:42:27 And so it was like Christian, Muslim, American, Afghani, whatever. And then it slowly morphed with social media started finding out how much more popular their clicks were when you got angry. But at some point, people got turned against each other, Republicans and Democrats. It was like when Trump got elected, they used that as a catalyst media apparatus. But I don't know if it's an external thing. You know, it's not all American. NBC News is not all American all the time. Like there's people involved in that that aren't American.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I don't know. I don't know that there's necessarily a date, but it was like around 2012 or 2013. And it's social media. And then when you look at that side of the house where you get the echo chambers, where now your algorithms only show you the exact same people that believe exactly what you believe. And then you actually go like, Hey man,
Starting point is 00:43:14 I'm super right. And everybody backs me up. But because you don't have like, you don't have the count halls, the community engagement anymore. COVID made it worse because everybody was literally confined to their house. And so now we just become further and further instead of, I think Jordan Peterson is the one that talks about it,
Starting point is 00:43:30 is that people are inherently born with a, he calls them red and blue, like inherently a left worldview and inherently a right worldview. And up until social media, that was actually good because you had to come together and you had to have conversation and compromise. And so we actually kind of got a little bit centrist in Miller Road. But now, because we don't really have to interact with each other in person that often anymore, and we have these echo rooms on social media, the divide is just huge. And that's what makes it scary for things like, is it possible for us to see something like a civil war or something where we actually have this big fight coming down the pipe? I do think so.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Let me jump to, we got a lot of stories we got to go through, but maybe the most important one right now in this context is this story from Business Insider. Democrats spend over $1 million to boost Dan Cox, the Trump loyalist and 2020 election denier who just won the GOP primary for Maryland governor. Literal conspiracy. It's a literal conspiracy. The Democrats have a scheme to put money into Trump supporting candidates who they then come out and say are an existential threat. They are scheming to manipulate the American people, freaking them out, but funding.
Starting point is 00:44:44 It's a false flag. This is but funding. It's a false flag. This is literally the Democrats engaging in a false flag. This is going, look, let's say the Democrats are right. Trump supporters are an existential threat to this country. Trump's candidates and MAGA candidates, they're funding them and propping them up. Some are winning the primaries. The idea is we'll beat them in the primary.
Starting point is 00:45:02 And if you don't, and even if you do, they gain followers from you helping them regardless. They're not going to go away. So if the Democrats are right, it's a threat. They are literally funding it. And if the reality is they're not a threat, Democrats are engaging in a false flag operation on the American people via politics to seize power. Okay, fine. That's not a coup coup attempt that's something dastardly at the very least do you know who's warning them against this mitt romney he's telling them this is like stupid strategy you shouldn't do this i believe hogan even came out and said like we are yeah he was saying we're having democratic interference in our election i mean hogan has called cox a uh
Starting point is 00:45:42 q anon whack job I believe is the quote. He is not a fan at all. But he is also not looking, you know, for a guy who's built his reputation on being able to work with Democrats in his state. He doesn't want this organization coming in and messing with Maryland. I mean, they were actively putting this out. You know, Kelly Schultz had sent out multiple email campaigns. I got him to say, like, listen, listen, this is what's happening. And for me, I was actually, I talked about it several times today,
Starting point is 00:46:12 I am still mind-blown. And people, they were talking about it, and one of my friends was like, these are going to put God and country back into the schools. And I'm like, no, he's not. He's in Maryland. Democrats outnumber you two to one and the independents in Maryland aren't going to lean that
Starting point is 00:46:30 far right, in my opinion. Maybe I'll be absolutely crazy, but the guy they're putting him up against, I don't know if you know anything about Wes Moore, but Wes Moore won the top 40 under 40, very important people shaping the future of Maryland when I won it. He wrote a book called The Other Wes Moore.
Starting point is 00:46:46 He's a, I'm almost positive he's a combat veteran, but I know he's definitely a veteran. He was from Baltimore, he's a best-selling author, you know. His book is interesting. He's a handsome fella, you know, tall and handsome. Don't bring that up.
Starting point is 00:47:01 He's gonna. I make one gaffe and then I'm Joe Biden. You know, he's going to. In Baltimore and in Maryland, he's going to chew Dan Cox up. Check out the New York Times data. 62% reporting from the Democrat side, and they're already up about 140,000 votes. So, you know, look, the question about whether or not Democrat Maryland goes Republican, I'm not super worried about that. Dan Cox won by 16 points. Good for him. I don't see Kelly Schultz winning either. I mean, the turnout on the Republican side wasn't that high.
Starting point is 00:47:36 The bigger issue is Democrats and the schemes, the manipulation on the American people. Look, did you really think Maryland, regardless of this, would become a Republican state? I didn't think it would become a Republican state. I personally, and I know Kelly, and maybe there's some bias there, but I genuinely think that she had an opportunity coming behind Hogan where the state had improved as much as it had. I believe she was the Commerce Secretary or Labor Secretary, one of the two. And I thought she could get independence. could, and again, with the sentiment being
Starting point is 00:48:08 as much against Biden as it is, that she stands a very strong probability at this year. I literally said, if you're going to win, this was the year for you to win, right? I think she had a shot and still was going to be a fight. Dan Cox, I'll do, I'll owe you 20 pushups. I mean, I get that, too. But she couldn't even muster. It's like if you can't get enough support from your own party, I don't see how she could win. Look, if you can't convince Republicans to vote for you, you think you'll convince independents, I suppose?
Starting point is 00:48:39 I just don't know. And I think Maryland's a weird state for Republicans because basically all of one side of it, the three western counties want to leave. They don't want to be involved anymore. They want to go join West Virginia. They sent letters to West Virginia being like, please, we'd like to go. And West Virginia was like, we'll have you. Just you have to ask Baltimore. And Baltimore is like, shh, can't hear you.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Stop asking that. I don't think they would do that because then what would happen if there was all of a sudden just a massive migration of parts of states like they literally just start swapping and changing should it's not a bad idea save the country in my opinion the county state of jefferson the county under um the eastern panhandle in west virginia it's part of virginia has winchester virginia in it in its constitution if i'm remembering correctly a west virginia state senator told me this they have a bylaw in there that when West Virginia seceded, they left it so if they decide later they're frustrated with Virginia, they could leave. So that still stands. They could like file out and be like, we don't want to be here anymore.
Starting point is 00:49:34 That's not true for the three counties in Maryland. But it is interesting that there are these places saying we don't look like where our capitals are. We are not represented by our values. We're in Western Maryland. and it is MAGA country. You go to the grocery store outside of Frederick and Brunswick, and it's like Trump signs everywhere. And it gets more intense as you keep driving through the panhandle. Right, but you go into Frederick, and then the Trump flags turn into rainbow flags.
Starting point is 00:49:59 And what's crazy about that is, and we were actually talking about this earlier, is like a Republican, even when, because Frederick flipped the year that I ran, it flipped blue, right? And there was a big conversation about whether or not it was going to stay that way based on the migration from Montgomery County up. But what's crazy about it is why does that happen in just the city? Like everything else is absolutely red red but this little small city that we have it instantly morphs to where it's democrat and then it's all people coming in and what's crazy about it is people leave moco because they don't like moco and then they turn frederick
Starting point is 00:50:35 into moco people leave california and go to austin because they didn't like california but you turn austin into california and it's like because they and it's like... Because they don't understand how they caused the problem. The snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche. Simply put, Joe Rogan moves from California to Texas, like Texas will be better, and then everyone says, yeah, but I like Joe's
Starting point is 00:50:57 opinions, and then it's like, but Joe has staff, and Joe has industry around him, and the industry is woke and left. So if Joe Rogan comes to Austin and sets up a comedy club, which he's doing, he's going to attract woke leftists from California
Starting point is 00:51:10 who aren't going to have those opinions. He's going to attract their sound producers and their stage managers and their taxi drivers and their restaurateurs. And then Texas turns Democrat. Kind of like colonization. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Kind of feels like they're colonizing. But to be fair, there is a cultural influx into Texas, which is actually turning it fairly purplish, like purple leaning red. And I'm hearing like in Austin, it's kind of blue, but people there are fairly anti-woke, which is surprising. Not completely, but I'm hearing that at least from a lot of people. And what I'm hearing from some of our friends who moved to Austin, it's because they're moving there. So maybe it is a good thing.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Me, I like West Virginia because it's already like the second most Trump-supporting state in the country with like 86% Trump support. The entire state, every county went red. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying Trump is a god emperor or anything like that, but I would rather be surrounded by people who will leave me alone than people who won't, simply put. I like West Virginia because it's culturally purple. It was such a blue state for such a long time, and it's changed to being red now.
Starting point is 00:52:15 I mean, I think it is. I said this before, but it's a marker of the fact that the parties are changing, but the people's values aren't necessarily. They're not being interpreted or projected by the parties the way they were back in the day. And I don't know, I think that you'll see that there are states that turn blue because of migration, but you'll see states that turn purple because they're not represented equally by the two-party system anymore. That's a good point. You were saying earlier, Danny, that you thought that
Starting point is 00:52:39 that, oh, I think I lost my thought there. Oh, that the the rhino you don't like the term rhino dino you know republican in him only and what you're saying hannah clare is like that the people aren't being represented by the part there's too many disparate ideas to represent have one party represent them there should be lots of different parties at this state at this point i think because people are rhinos they're they say're Republican because it's one or the other. You've got to pick one, but your identity doesn't fall in line with that message. Well, there used to be the term, like, blue-blood Democrat, right? Blue-dog, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Which was, yeah, blue-dog Democrat or whatever it is. But, like, it's like back then, like, you were kind of how I look at myself. Like, I don't want you spending my money. You know what I'm saying? I don't want you in my life, but I don't care what you do in your life. Like, knock yourself out. It doesn't bother me at all. Like, if you want to hug trees, hug trees. I'm saying? I don't want you in my life, but I don't care what you do in your life. Like, knock yourself out. It doesn't bother me at all. Like, if you want to hug trees, hug trees.
Starting point is 00:53:28 I'm cool with that. But that's gone now. And what I can't understand is how the parties continuously switch back and forth as to who's who. You guys were talking about it the other day where, like, now the Republican Party is becoming like the blue-collar working in person, person right where that was the democrats for a long time like his blue collar unions the whole nine yards so i admit one point time democrats head to kkk you know when were we how do you how does that switch happen i don't think it ever switched really yeah i don't yeah i don't think so uh there's there's a whole bunch of articles and many have written their thesis on how the parties, which never happened.
Starting point is 00:54:07 But I think if you look at the Democrats today and you look at the Democrats in the 50s and go back, you're like their policies had similar results across the board. It was just – I mean it is what it is. Well, let's take places like Baltimore. Like how do you blame Republicans and Democrats who have been in charge there for what? And Chicago. How do you blame the right for police brutality? They march in New York City, but they keep voting for these people to keep doing it, then protest the people they're voting for.
Starting point is 00:54:37 They talk about racist cops. You live in a Democrat stronghold in New York where Democrats are appointing the racists. That's why I'm like, it's not changed. It's the same thing. They just need the PR push to claim it did. I look at the policies Democrats are enacting. Look at this. California, they tried to repeal their civil rights provision from
Starting point is 00:54:55 their state constitution. That's the Democrats for you. You know, it's funny. Right now, I was like, I was trolling on Twitter, and I put something like someone commented about abortion and denial of personhood rights. And I said, yeah, well, you know who else wanted to deny personhood rights? And I was going to put the Confederacy, and then I was like, that was also the Democrats.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Oh, wait a second. And I was like, oh, wait. The Democrats back then denied personhood. They deny it today. Look, you want to issue a moral statement on abortion? Fine. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying the left is inherently of opposing personhood rights for the unborn. It was the Democratic Party that opposed personhood rights for slaves.
Starting point is 00:55:35 The Republicans wanted civil rights and constitutional rights for everybody. So you think the Democrats just for literally the entire time with the United States just have a better PR team? Well, I don't know about a better PR team. I think they had a worse PR team in the Civil War. Everyone, you had to think what, almost three times as many Union soldiers
Starting point is 00:55:54 fighting against them. Yeah. So I think maybe later on they started to figure out, maybe in the past several decades, they learned control of institutions was power and they needed to seize it. You know, I take a look at a lot of the...
Starting point is 00:56:07 We talked a bit about this the other day. You take a look at AOC pretending to be handcuffed, and it's just like manipulation for power. Oh, she actually said something about that. Said that if it's... It was just safer. Yeah, you're supposed to keep them down and back because otherwise if your arms are flailing, they might say you're resisting arrest.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Oh, come on. I really wanted the headline on our site to be aoc poses in handcuffs in front of capitol because it was just like such a moment she clearly decided that was the way it was supposed to be but is anything less impressive than getting being a congress person getting arrested where there's absolutely going to be no real repercussion against you like catching release yeah did she face any backlash for that from people being like, there are people who are arrested who don't have the ability to get out of jail the way you would? I wouldn't be surprised if the vote comes for its own being like, you're privileged, that's why you got out of jail.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Then she'd be like, but I'm fighting for you. Look, it is undeniable that you have many Democrats today who will publicly scream racism is bad, whereas you had Democrats in the past who would scream that segregation was good. Like, the problem is Democrats saying racism is bad is just a mask for them saying segregation is good. Democrats are outright the party of segregation today, and they've always been. That's why I'm like, I don't know where that party is, which supposedly happened. You can say it was the 50s or whatever. But when you go to Seattle or Portland, you see the libraries
Starting point is 00:57:27 and they have POC and non-POC rooms. You're like, yeah, it ain't the Republicans who are calling for that. It's the Democrats once again. Wasn't there a college where a bunch of, or a group of students of color
Starting point is 00:57:40 had been like, we want our own dorm. We should be like allowed to have our own space. And you were thinking like, but I thought this is segregation. I thought we had fought against this. They do that. I was reading someone's article about how they have Asian dorms and black dorms.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I think it's like the UC system in California, University of California system. And the answer I think they gave, I could be wrong, was like, people want this. And I'm like, you know, I guess. It doesn't mean you make it. You know what I mean? If people choose to live next to each other, I guess there's not really much you can say. If people are looking for a dorm and you're like, that's the dorm for your race, that's the dorm for their race, that's a bad idea. You should not do that.
Starting point is 00:58:21 I just thought it was weird because it's these institutions that charge you a bunch money to live like this far away like one arm's length away from the other person their rooms are so small you can touch your roommate's bed and then they're like no but but if people want to live by race it's fine like they don't actually care about how people live how crazy is the money i remember hanging out at the columbia dorms in chicago and it's a two bedroom with i think eight or maybe it was four or eight people. I'm not sure. I think it was four people. Each room had two bunk beds in it or had a bunk bed in it for two beds. And then they were like, it's a thousand bucks a month to live here. And then I was like, you live with three other people and you spend a thousand dollars a month.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Why don't y'all just like, I don't know, buy a house. You got four grand per month. You can go buy a house, not that far away from here. And they're like, I don't know. Well, colleges make it a requirement to live on campus. So that first year they're charging you
Starting point is 00:59:10 and you have to buy whatever the biggest like food or meal package or whatever else. So they're guaranteeing money. I mean, they are not in it for your personal growth. They're in it
Starting point is 00:59:19 for their bottom line. College is a scheme. Yep. Do they actually make people live on campus? There were people that would commute on when I was going.
Starting point is 00:59:25 I mean, different schools do it different ways, but a lot of schools, the first year, first two, you're required to live on campus. It's like a status school where it's cool for you to be part of it, so they want to make, you have to agree to it. It's a community college. No one cares that you're going. You can commute all you want. Do they market it to families that's like, oh, so your student can get adjusted and be
Starting point is 00:59:44 acclimated and get used to living away from home. It's a safety net. They're going to babysit your kid for you. That is cultish beyond measure. I didn't know they were forcing kids to go stay there with them while they indoctrinate them. I thought that people could still commute.
Starting point is 00:59:59 That's great. Well, it's just the first two years when you're the most vulnerable to indoctrination. Most susceptible. Well, okay. Let's get good news. Good news for everybody so you can have some optimism and hope for your day. Federal probe into
Starting point is 01:00:11 Hunter Biden has reached a critical juncture and investigators are weighing possible charges. So, I don't know, crack your beers, order your pizzas, get your wings, have a celebration, kick back. Nothing's happened yet, but maybe Hunter Biden will actually be charged for being a criminal. Do you guys think that's actually going to happen?
Starting point is 01:00:27 No. I don't either. But it's like sprinkling a little bit of hope in front of us. It's so nice. Maybe there's going to be some accountability. What would happen even if he was? I mean, everybody's seen all the...
Starting point is 01:00:39 I mean, we literally have video footage. It's kind of like that old... I'd feel better. It's kind of like that old joke where they were like, I think Dave Chappelle's the one that did it. He was like, how would you agree that R. Kelly actually did it? I'd have to have a video of his grandma pointing at him going, that's my baby. There's countless videos of him doing coke, crack, weapons, strippers.
Starting point is 01:01:02 The weighing meth video was like the funniest. He's arguing with the hooker about how much meth he's got on his scale. Is that meth or crack? I've heard both. Did you ever? I'm pretty sure it's meth. It's everything. It's probably everything.
Starting point is 01:01:13 A little bit of a lot of meth. Do you remember when Bush's daughter, it was a big scandal because they were buying alcohol underage. Now we have Hunter Biden who's with his hookers weighing his meth. What a country. What a time. She's like, that's 20.7. He goes, it's 20.6.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Oh, okay. Like she's trying to rip him off. I mean, you got to charge. At least he's a negotiator. Was it the Babylon Bee that wrote inflation is so bad you can only buy 20? I was like, you can only buy 2.6 grams of crack from what you used to be able to buy 20.6 or whatever. Yeah. I mean, if he gets charged, it gives me, you know,
Starting point is 01:01:47 I go from having no faith in the government to having like 0.1% faith in the government. Yeah, really? Will he throw his child under the bus to renegotiate faith?
Starting point is 01:01:57 I think this must be a crazy time to be his kids. I think one of his daughters is getting married. They're going to host her reception at the White House. Like, meanwhile, while she's planning that,
Starting point is 01:02:04 we have like her dad's hooker and meth photos coming out. The question is, oh, one of Hunter's daughters? Yeah, one of Hunter's daughters is supposed to be getting married, they're going to host her reception at the White House. Meanwhile, while she's planning that, we have her dad's hooker and meth photos coming out. One of Hunter's daughters? Yeah, one of Hunter's daughters is supposed to be getting married. I think it's one of the Biden granddaughters is going to have her reception at the White House. I assume soon before he has to maybe leave office. But I think it's one of Hunter's daughters. And I just think like,
Starting point is 01:02:20 man, that's your dad. Do you invite dad? Is he allowed to come to the wedding? I don't know definitely invite him video chat be careful you know like if you're Hunter just word of the wise word from the wise Hunter
Starting point is 01:02:31 make sure your dad doesn't sniff your daughter does he get to bring a date is the question allegedly he must allegedly Hunter calls his dad a pedo
Starting point is 01:02:40 really so it's allegedly yeah potential leaked texts. He refers to his dad as Peto Peter. Which is honestly like, if you think about it like that, then you almost kind of have to have like, he almost becomes a sympathetic figure.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Like, is he that messed up? Yeah. Because, you know. I think Joe Biden abused Hunter. Oh, for sure. Like, how do you get a guy raising a family that wealthy to turn out the way he did with hookers and all these drugs because his his dad gropes and sniffs little kids publicly what does he do with them in private he was probably vacant a lot too being a politician working on
Starting point is 01:03:13 the hill like he was always away at work his lifts his son his his son's mom and sister had died in the car accident when he was like two when hunter was two he's in the car with them so he lost his mom he lost his sister his brother actually died uh bo biden from cancer a while back like a decade ago or something so hunter i mean what a broken environment just from a top-down observation looking at that family now then you add the personal stuff that he actually calls his dad allegedly pedo peter you don't just joke around about your parents being pedophiles i don't know people that joke around about their parents being pedophile i've never met somebody like that no i was not joking yeah i always thought it was weird that during i think it was it must have been the 2020 uh democratic national convention that they were highlighting all of his
Starting point is 01:03:59 granddaughters really intensely and then all of a sudden they're like and his one grandson they're like we talk to grandpa every day and like we do this and like, you know, I obviously hope they have a very positive and healthy relationship with whoever in their lives,
Starting point is 01:04:10 but like they really, really focused on these girls ignoring the fact that he had two sons. They didn't really talk about any of his actual kids. It's like they needed a fresh face
Starting point is 01:04:19 because maybe everyone else like couldn't manage to swing a positive statement about Biden. It was just weird. You're talking about Hunter's daughters? So he has five grandchildren, I think,
Starting point is 01:04:29 or maybe four, but it's like two girls from Beau's marriage and then a boy and a girl from Hunter's marriage. The Tara Reid complaints where she said he pushed her up against the wall and just basically sexually assaulted her in one of the buildings over there
Starting point is 01:04:44 at the Capitol. And the way he grabs women, and I'm talking about Joe Biden, has on video grabbed women and smelled them. And sometimes you see the girls recoil, like that one redhead girl was recoiling from it. I mean, very overtly,
Starting point is 01:04:59 making that face like, what is he doing kind of face. And you can hear him going like, give me some of that sugar. That's so nasty. It's so just, I mean that hard grab, you know, I mean that's like an old 1950s smacker when she's like, if you're angry, it kind of
Starting point is 01:05:16 weird life. Come on, man. You gotta give her a firm open palm smack on the bottom. The Tara Reid stuff has to be investigated. I mean, it was so, her claims are so damning about what he did to her. I mean, it was so, her claims are so damning about what he did to her. I mean, dude, look at the guy. There's websites dedicated to showing him sniffing and groping and just like, it's abusive to children. You know?
Starting point is 01:05:34 Truly, literally, what that girl was going through when that redhead girl was, that was like a form of abuse. Remember when Joe Biden would say that, you know, I'd be at the pool and the kids would touch my hairy legs. I got hairy legs. Remember that stuff? Yeah. Someone made a meme and they said, what if Corn Pop actually was just a dude who saw Biden creeping on children and called him out? What's the Corn Pop story?
Starting point is 01:05:56 Joe Biden said he saw a guy get up on a diving board or he's running or something. He said, hey, Esther, stop running. And the guy was like, what did you call me? And he called her Esther Williams or something. So then the Corn Pop guy, you know. The guy was like, what did you call me? He called her Esther Williams or something. The corn pop guy had a razor blade you put in a rain barrel. Get it all rusty. Then Joe, some guy told him to get a chain and fight him.
Starting point is 01:06:14 Then Joe said, I apologize for calling you Esther, man. I shouldn't have done that. The guy backed off. It was a story he told at the pool. A bunch of people were like, you know what makes more sense is that a young man, Joe Biden, was creeping on children because he's a creepo. And this dude saw him and was like, yo, get out. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:06:35 I mean, Biden told the stories like the kids would grab his legs. It's a creepy story anyway. I got hairy legs. The kids would grab my legs and they would rub them and the hairs would go straight. That's what he said. I think Corn Pop may have been like, you leave those kids alone, man. Shout out to Corn Pop. Shout out.
Starting point is 01:06:51 Yeah, what if Corn Pop was the good guy? He was the hero we needed. The twist. That's the twist we need. I mean, I think Joe Biden's an abusive guy. I think he's a corrupt guy. I think he's crooked across the board. And it wouldn't surprise me if this whole sick thing is an act so that people think he's a
Starting point is 01:07:06 bumbling idiot when he's actually just gutting the country. Regarding this story about Hunter Biden, possible charges, what are these possible charges for? Tax violations or making false statements when buying a gun. He would have been prohibited from purchasing a gun because he admitted he has a drug problem. And that's what everybody was calling out.
Starting point is 01:07:22 You care about gun control, start with arresting Hunter Biden, who lied in his gun form. We all saw it. And then he threw the gun in a dumpster. No, was it his wife? Somebody threw it in a dumpster. Threw it in a dumpster next to a school. What the heck? That's always been the issue when people scream for gun
Starting point is 01:07:38 control. Like, you've got gun control in place everywhere now. You just don't actually enforce it. So what's another rule what's another law it's not going to do anything but now that i mean i didn't know the thing about the pedo thing i was i was sexually abused as a kid and so like that has a you know that has a relatively profound effect on you for the rest of your life and now like now you made me feel so bad for the guy i'm like man lord what if he really does have all that issue and he's just been the scapegoat
Starting point is 01:08:04 for this the whole time? Yeah, Hunter Biden was probably abused by his dad. I mean, I do think, though, that people who suffer horrible things as kids still have some responsibility for the damage they cause as adults. I absolutely agree with that. I'm a big person for personal accountability. But at the same time, for me, it was family members that did it to me, but they weren't setting congressmen. There's also a level of, I don't know, if you're at that position or you're president. I've met a couple presidents.
Starting point is 01:08:35 It's weird. It's almost like a presence about them. And so you add on top of the fact that they're your dad, that, oh, yeah, they're one of the most powerful men in the country too like what could he have got that guy to do you know what if he was just a scapegoat what if it was more than just uh he was you know sexually abusing him with the mental side of it hey you know what you're gonna do this you're gonna do this i'm gonna actually put you out as a pawn so if anything bad happens it's happening to you it's not happening to me but i'm still gonna reap the benefit of all the deals that you make. I've heard that Jill and Hunter also do not get along at all.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Jill, Joe's current wife, Hunter's stepmom, basically, now this is hypothetically, just resents Hunter. Because not only does he remind Jill of his mother, Joe's first wife, and probably love of his life or something. But Hunter's a screw-up. And so he's putting a bad name out there. So she's like, oh, and he's hurting Joe's first wife and probably love of his life or something. But like Hunter's a screw up. And so he's putting a bad name out there. So she's like, oh, and he's hurting Joe's reputation. I can't, you know, somebody in the text, he's like really vicious against her as well, which I imagine is another layer of stress, family stress, personal stress. I have sympathy for him, but I don't doesn't condone the behavior.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Yeah. I mean, I can sympathize with like victimhood, but nothing that he's done. Look, he's an adult man who has done really messed up things. That's on him. A lot of it, too, is nonviolent. So you've got to take that into account, too. Possession charges, prostitution, drug charges. No one's dying.
Starting point is 01:10:01 If people have been shown up dead, now we're talking. Oh, I was talking about his illicit business dealings with foreign governments. That's actually way a bigger deal than the drugs, in my opinion. Well, maybe that's why they go for the gun thing or this type of charge here, because we can say we convict you on something, or we can go there. But we're actually going to ignore the really bad things that you did. They distract from the bigger issues and the illicit business dealings by, you know, and they'll give him a slap on the wrist. It'll be like, well, it's your first time, and, you know, and they'll give him a slap on the wrist. It'll be like, well, it's your first time and, you know, you're going to get a year
Starting point is 01:10:28 probation or something. Yeah. I stand by like, yeah. I stand by like, there's a bunch of kids, like there are young children, I mean, they're in their 20s or teens now, but like, remember that Hunter had an affair with Bo, like he was married and then he had an affair with Bo's widow. Like, there are,
Starting point is 01:10:44 your actions have tons of consequences. There are people who you brought into this world who did not choose to be the grandchild of a politician, to be the daughters and sons of a guy who is... I want to be empathetic to what he might be struggling with, but at the same time, this guy is destructive and he takes people down with him it seems like especially people who don't and he records it yeah yeah he just filmed but he's really good at weighing math so it's it's almost like there's that uh james o'keefe meme where it's it's like a guy meets a hot girl and then immediately just says to her like so let me tell you about the all the corporate
Starting point is 01:11:22 malfeasance i'm involved in yeah and you wonder why it is like James gets these guys on camera. Like, why are you telling them about these things? You do it your job. That's wrong. It's so weird. And Hunter Biden's like an inverse of that where he's like, I'm doing something illegal. Better get my camera out. No, what the heck?
Starting point is 01:11:35 Better film it. Put it on my phone, the cloud, and my laptop. It feels like a self-destructive streak. Like where I'm trying to get caught. Like I keep, like, you know, I want to make atonement, right? Maybe he has a conversation with Jesus every night, and he's like, I'm really messing this up, so I'm trying to get what's supposed to come to me,
Starting point is 01:11:51 but they just won't arrest me no matter what I send them. Yeah, leaving the laptop like he did, you could argue maybe he was drug addled and forgot it, but that feels like self-hatred, and like he wants to take down Joe, and he wants to expose it all but doesn't have the strength. It feels like he can't overtly do it. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:12:08 He doesn't make it seem like an accident. Or maybe he just knows nothing's going to happen to him and is like flaunting it in your face. I'm going to do whatever I want. You can't do anything about it. I'm protected by dad. And we're just going to call it a day. I think drug addict would make sense. But he probably walked in and he was like, I'm going to fix it.
Starting point is 01:12:22 He might have forgot that he left it there. But drugs, most – well, actually, I don't know. I can't speak for all drugs. So I don't know what's the best. I mean, if he was like, fix it. He might have forgot that he left it there. But drugs, most, well, actually, I don't know. I can't speak for all drugs. So I don't know. I mean, if he was doing meth, he was probably wired. Yeah, I don't know. He probably took that whole computer apart and rebuilt it himself. Maybe Biden's kids are just very forgetful.
Starting point is 01:12:37 I mean, he leaves Slot Top, Ashley leaves her diary. Like, they just are not good at keeping track of their belongings. Yeah. It's just a stutter. They record everything. He just stuttered. No, I'm just kidding. That's a Joe Biden meme. Not just a stutter, by the way.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Let's jump to this very Tim Pool-esque story from the Daily Mail. Half of Americans expect a second civil war within years. More than 40% agree with Great Replacement Theory, and nearly a fifth expect they will choose to bring a gun to a violent political... What? Alarming poll shows.
Starting point is 01:13:06 How do you poll that? That's bold. Call a thousand people and be like, do you plan on bringing a gun to a political event? Like, yes, I do. Okay. Indeed, I do. I recommend against that. Half of Americans expect to see a second civil war within years, and nearly a fifth say they could
Starting point is 01:13:21 one day be toting guns at a political face-off themselves. Researchers at the University of California, Davis uncovered worrying levels of alienation, mistrust, and a growing tendency to turn violent in their recently conducted survey of 8,620 adults. That's a huge sample size. How many? Yeah. 8,620.
Starting point is 01:13:38 Oh, wow. That's like four times what's considered a good number. Let me tell you why I think it's worse than people realize. Because when I call, when I'm talking to a lawyer they say pick your jurisdiction based on which president appointed them and i'm like okay that's not a tenable circumstance you can't have a country where this this district judge is a biden this one's trump so what's your case for and against okay then go to the trump one if it's it's like that juror in the Bannon thing who said, I don't care what he says because of who he affiliates with. It doesn't matter. If you're a conservative and you're in D.C. on trial, locked up.
Starting point is 01:14:14 If you're a liberal on trial, now you're fine. They'll release you. What's the great replacement thing they're talking about? The grounding of America. It depends on who you ask, but it's basically that immigration is displacing natural-born Americans. And then there's the white nationalist version. So the left will say it's always the idea that white people are being displaced by brown people. But many people who are talking about immigration might just say it's natural-born citizens being replaced by yeah foreign citizens i think the argument on the from the left you know is that over time people of color will will will get married to and have children with people
Starting point is 01:14:50 of not color if that's what we're at the point we're all color but like whatever the people of european ancestry will get with people from south america or whatever and then their children will be mixed that's that kind of replacement not that someone's going to come in from south South America and then you're going to be unemployed and no longer be participating in society. That's the white nationalist fear of replacement. It could be both. Both could be both. What they're saying is that the white population is decreasing, the white nationalist version, and then minority populations are increasing. The general idea is just Democrats have publicly stated immigration is a path to political power for them.
Starting point is 01:15:25 And it's simple. Leftists don't have kids. They're a path to political power for them. And it's simple. Leftists don't have kids. They're more likely to abort and sterilize. So how do they compete with conservatives who have lots of kids? Immigration. Education. But here's a question.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Yes, and indoctrination. For people that say there's a civil war, who's leading? How's it split? Right? Like, we don't have the same you know we don't have north versus south in this what countries did what's that what countries did most civil wars don't function that way most civil wars are like random factions all over the place that eventually coalesce when fighting starts so the uS. is unique in that you had a union of states break apart, and then the union was like, you can't break apart, invaded the South.
Starting point is 01:16:10 The South, you know, teams up or whatever, joins forces. Most civil wars are like a random faction with a weird name starts fighting in one area against the government, then other factions pop up, then eventually groups coalesce, and then they're fighting each other. You take a look at, like, in Syriaria you had 12 different factions emerge under isis you know so one scenario could be with the united states it very well could be uh state versus state it could be like the old civil war the the scenario that we talked about quite a bit over the past week is what happens if
Starting point is 01:16:41 a man and a woman you know get together and the woman gets pregnant in Texas where it's illegal to abort? And then at eight months, the woman decides to go to Colorado to abort. And the husband or the husband or boyfriend or whatever is like, I will not allow you to kill my child. Now you're going to have a very serious conflict because there's no federal statute and both states are completely on the other end. One saying it's you're killing a child. The other saying, no, we're not. We're allowed to do it. One saying it's you're killing a child, the other saying no we're not, we're allowed to do it. One saying it's illegal, the other saying it's not.
Starting point is 01:17:07 What happens? Is the guy just going to sit back and guess my onboard child dies in violation of the law or are people going to fight? You know, there's actually I forget who it is if you haven't seen it, there's actually, I think they did it at the Army War College. They did
Starting point is 01:17:23 a scenario of what would happen if America fought against itself and how the states would go. Texas won in their deal. But for me, it's like with everybody shifting, wherever they're going, like blues moving to red, does it ever just get to a point where it's like, okay, well, I don't really care that much because you're not overtly affecting texas you know i'm saying like you go to where you want to live essentially federalism right and now we're not we're not it doesn't really bother me what happened in maryland doesn't bother me because i'm in texas or vice versa do you think that's a stopping point before it and keeps happening? Or do you think that exacerbates it? I think it might be better in the long run, federalism. And we talked about this when we had the progressive fellow around talking about abortion.
Starting point is 01:18:13 And I was like, I don't know, maybe it's better that we do overturn Roe v. Wade so that the states who want to live the way they want to live can, and the other states can have their abortion, Texas can ban it. But I just don't think the ideology stops there. I don't think someone who truly believes abortion is murder can sit back and let people murder babies. And I don't think the left has a strong role position on abortion at all. They're just tribally for it. So that's why I don't see the left as like possibly going to invade Texas to make abortion happen. They might secretly do it. Maybe there's money involved. But I do see it as Texas or some other state that bans abortion as being willing
Starting point is 01:18:49 to send people or even unofficially to stop abortion, right? If you take a look at the first Civil War, John Brown just took it amongst himself. What were the factions? There was one country. John Brown went and started shooting slave owners in the face. It didn't matter that there was not an organized faction. It happened when the fighting broke out then organized factions emerged so maybe that happens it's a fair point maybe you get uh you're going to see texas and they're going to be like here's our annual report 3 786 unborn children were were aborted in a neighboring state and they're going to be like okay this has to stop because we are morally opposed to the to abortion and the other state says we're allowed to do it you can't do anything about it how long until a new john brown emerges we've already had violence at abortion clinics and
Starting point is 01:19:34 and vice versa with the left firebombing pregnancy centers but how long now with the current situation until you get a john brown and a bleeding kansas where he goes into colorado and just starts getting violent or something. I think the big difference between abortion and slavery, they're similar, but is that slavery is in plain sight, but abortion is like out of sight, out of mind. Because I hear when you see the ultrasound, women, they become way less likely to want to kill the thing. I know it sounds crass, but just get past that part. And so you just don't see it. And it's like,
Starting point is 01:20:09 if you don't see the sewage, the sewage isn't that big of a problem. Slavery, man, that drove people insane. People went nuts over that. And I would now, too. I don't like it. It's also the issue, though, where I can see what you're saying happens
Starting point is 01:20:23 is the fact that AOC, it's legal where she is, right, and who she represents. But then she's still going out there and making this plea for the case for it to affect states that are outside of her jurisdiction. And I mean, now that you break it down that way, that's an explanation for like, OK, this is why it's crossing the line, because you're trying to make it happen at a federal level what we can do at a state level. Let me ask you, Ian, how do you feel about abortion? What's your thoughts's your thoughts on it i don't like it man i don't like it at all um but you think it should be legal do you yeah so i'll present present to you this way when slavery was happening i'm sure a lot of people said exactly what you said i don't like it but you know it's it's legal in those states okay good point and then what happens after the war after After the war, they're like, you supported them.
Starting point is 01:21:05 You were defending them. You weren't speaking out. History is written by the victors. And that's why the left likes to say, you're on the wrong side of history. Because they firmly believe that when the fighting's done or whatever, they'll be the victors. I don't agree with that at all. History has a tendency towards the expansion of personhood rights. So I don't understand why this would be the anomaly the anomaly here in terms of well this one time we've decided
Starting point is 01:21:30 the you know these these unique individuals with dna are not to be granted personhood rights circumstances are different you know with slavery a person like human being living and walking with abortion they're still dependent to a certain degree on the mother's body, but that's where viability comes in. If the baby is viable outside the womb, this is the big question. Someone in Texas, a woman, can take a viable child. Let's say the scenario with the man and the woman. They hook up. They're together. At eight months, the woman says, I don't want to be with this guy. If I have this kid, I'm trapped. I'm going to go get an abortion. The guy says, you don't need to kill it. We can do it. We can, we can do a induced labor or
Starting point is 01:22:07 C-section right now. The baby is viable and healthy and doesn't need your body to live. And she goes, don't care. I'm going to kill it. That's where the moral line is drawn. Not in like the first week where she realized she's pregnant and it's a, you know, it's a zygote or whatever, and it's not viable. We're talking about a woman who could say, I could have this baby delivered, but then I'd be responsible for it. So I'd rather flee to Colorado to kill it. Now you're in crazy territory.
Starting point is 01:22:32 See, my problem with everything has also always been the hypocrisy of it. Meaning that if somebody were to murder a pregnant woman, they're getting charged with two counts of murder so for me i'm like i just want everything to be equal right like well if what the rule is the rule is the rule so if it's if it's two murder if i kill a pregnant woman then we have then we're saying that the baby is a lot you can't now turn around you're going to put that man or that person in prison for the rest of their life based on two counts of murder that was california right was that
Starting point is 01:23:08 peterson yeah but then you turn around and then when it's abortion well it's not a life so how can you do that that's the part that has always it's always like not set well with that's why i think the let's just call it the pro-abortion post-viability side, the pro-abortion side, I think they're going to lose. I think it is a fair assessment to say, based on where history, where we've come from and where we're going, that 50 years from now, people will look back on abortion the way they looked at slavery. But you know what my issue is? I'm actually curious what you think on this. This is the problem that I had with the overturning of it. That branch is supposed to be independent of political party.
Starting point is 01:23:52 But it absolutely is 100%. You guys talked about this before. They want to now stack it because they can't get their policies through. It's still frightening to me that based on who you put in those chairs
Starting point is 01:24:06 we can have a complete 180 of an interpretation of the foundational law of the land simply based on the partisan views of the person that's supposed to be in the judge that's you agreeing with the Supreme Court the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas particularly
Starting point is 01:24:23 wrote, they keep doing this thing called, was it substantive due process or something like that? This idea that there are some things that are just so, so egregious or whatever, that no amount of due process would be adequate to deal with the situation. That is to say, they're like, the courts should not be allowed to deny this to a person because they're a person and it's like what the supreme court is saying now is congress codify it the supreme court does not decide this what what so from your perspective and and i i agree with what you're saying the supreme court should have never decided to legislate from the bench correct here's the challenge though the country's too divided to actually move forward
Starting point is 01:25:05 on a lot of issues. Now, they just recently, in the House, codified gay marriage. And it's very likely the Senate will support it. Excellent. I don't know if they've ever done that
Starting point is 01:25:13 with interracial marriage either, though. But there's a bunch of issues the Supreme Court effectively forces through without the will of the people, without the electorate, which is kind of crazy when you think about it.
Starting point is 01:25:25 The Supreme Court today said, we don't have the authority to do that. Clarence Thomas went on to say, we should revisit these other cases to also correct these errors. And so what he was essentially saying there was that we should put this back to the legislator to make the decision on it. We don't have the authority or capacity to actually rule on it. But how people reacted was he's trying to end integration. Well, I mean, the truth of the matter is no one's, I mean, in my case, no one explained it like that.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Yeah. You know, and that's what we talked about earlier is like everything's a two-second soundbite. So you don't ever actually get any context behind anything anymore, which is why it's also so damn easy to get everybody riled up and angry about what's going on. I'd love to know how many people think that the Supreme Court just made abortion illegal. Oh, yeah. An insane amount. Yes.
Starting point is 01:26:11 That's wild. An insane amount. Well, and then I would have people say to me, like, well, when you, like, this means that women who have a stillborn baby aren't going to be able to get treated because it's not considered an abortion when you have a stillborn baby and you're too far along and the baby is surgically removed from your body like that's tragic that's sad but like it's not actually an abortion and no one thought it was an abortion until we suddenly decided that the supreme court had taken abortion away from everyone uh i think there was a such an intense panic i mean i really want to know how much planned parenthood fundraised in the last month because everyone panicked and was like we have to figure out how to protect this right. Which like I just think that so much got lost in translation.
Starting point is 01:26:53 And if you really believe that abortion is a right that you need to have, I respect that. Like, I don't have to agree with you. But I think so many outlets and so many people did a disservice to everyone around them by just panicking and encouraging people to panic. They use the most extreme and listen, both sides are guilty of this. They use the most extreme case
Starting point is 01:27:16 of whatever it is to justify whatever point it is that they're trying to make. For example, when the people that were very pro-abortion are like, they're going to make, right? And for example, when the people that were very pro-abortion are like, they're going to make your raped daughter give birth, right? And I got two. I'm a girl dad.
Starting point is 01:27:30 I got two daughters. And that touches a nerve. You know what I'm saying? But that's what we lead with when the reality is that's a very small exception to the rule. And in my knowledge of, I wouldn't go put my hand on the Bible on this, but in my knowledge, in most cases, in most states, even when it's banned, that's permitted.
Starting point is 01:27:53 Like this happened, like no, you don't have to do it. So people make that because they get everybody riled up over it and it's just super, super easy and nobody ever steps back and goes, okay, well, what is the actual reality of this? How often does it happen? What are the circumstances for it to happen?
Starting point is 01:28:09 But you have to pick a side. And that's what makes it so bad. You can't be like, listen, I don't necessarily support it. I'm kind of in the same ilk as you. And then Tim made me feel bad because he equated it to slavery. And now I feel dirty. But I'm going to say it with you. Do I like it?
Starting point is 01:28:30 No. Am I for it? No. But at the same time, I don't know if I have any ability to look at you and tell you what you have to do. Well, I was just thinking of something. Slavery is wrong. However, parents have legal control over people under a certain age. True.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Certainly it's not slavery, but they can tell the kids you're going to military school. They can tell the kid you got to mow the lawn. And the parents have a right to tell the kid where they live, what they do until they're of the age of majority. And so I was thinking about that because it's interesting. With abortion, there's also a problem and it's when the life becomes viable. When a child becomes an adult, they are a legal entity unto themselves and they are immediately severed and free
Starting point is 01:29:16 to live their lives as they see fit. Children that want to do that earlier can file for emancipation. They can be emancipated. Funny choice of words, right? I think it's interesting that there is an age restriction on when someone can actually dictate your life to a certain degree. They can't beat you and things like that. And then there's abortion where I'm actually more of the traditional pro-choice where it's like pre-viability. I totally understand what the
Starting point is 01:29:42 Roe decision was trying to say in terms of the privacy of the individual, but also where the government can step in for medical procedures. The problem I have with it is it's all elective abortion, like 93%. It's just using it as contraception and just, I don't know, debauchery and things like that. But I still fall in a more libertarian side of like, I don't know how the government should be stepping in. But you get to the point of viability. Now the baby can survive on its own. Now you should not kill it because you can just let it live.
Starting point is 01:30:15 It can be removed. I think 99.9% of Americans are with you on that. You know what I'm saying? But I think a lot of times people – I think people don't think that that's what happens at least in the conversations that I've had with people and I think I have a mixed bag of friends
Starting point is 01:30:32 those that are forward and those that aren't a lot of folks are like but that doesn't ever happen and I don't know enough about it to know whether it does or not but you know those are the people that are anti-abortion. Those are the videos that they show, right? The cartoon animation where you're going in with the forceps
Starting point is 01:30:49 and you're literally ripping the child apart and pulling them out. Everyone shows you the most extreme side of it. And so for me, when I look at it, it comes to the thing. At the end of the day, the way I feel personally is like it's all about responsibility, right? Like no one told you that you had to have sex, right? And then there were all these other options that you could have done through it. So for me personally, if it was just my body and I was a woman, it's like, yo, like if I'm going to have a kid, then I'm going to have it. Where my issue comes in is with hypocrisy. As a man, I got no say in nothing, but I'm absolutely on the hook for any of the financial responsibility.
Starting point is 01:31:31 You're talking about it from a standpoint of the child's viable. The man has no say in it at all, period. I can't say I want to have a child. Somehow I'm involved in this process, but somehow I'm absolutely not in control of this process at all, but I'm 100% responsible for the outcome of the process is done. And people will always use like deadbeat dads. I'm like, that's,
Starting point is 01:31:52 that's the same thing. Like gun laws, like there's laws for you to not buy guns illegally. People do it like, but at the end of the day, if you go to court, like I had a buddy in Texas and Texas will literally not give you 50-50 split. The mother gets 51% custody.
Starting point is 01:32:09 So on the days that there's extra days, she always gets the child. But he still has 100% child support and she has a job. So that's always been my thing. I'm cool with the fact that the dude has no choice, no say in the matter. But what I also would like to see happen is if the dude says, yo, cool, not my body, not my choice. I don't want the kid. I am under no obligation to take care of the kid. The man should have that same right too, in my opinion.

We also have Cast Castle moving to be a weekly, more sitcom-y style show. We're expanding it. It's still going to be – there's still going to be real behind-the-scenes elements to the show.
Starting point is 01:33:00 But we're expanding the comedy and the humor because we wanted to do a comedy and humor show. And I got to be completely honest, the vlog just was not really working so we were like let's make it something, let's transform it. So that's what we're doing Ian's been absolutely slaying on it Yeah, I'm giving it a little boost of nitro The only one with any acting skills in the house
Starting point is 01:33:18 Rock and roll, baby. It's working out fairly well It's really fun, we shot some scenes today, it was great to be back on set. Yep, yep And then we have Tales from the Inverted World, so check that out. At 11 p.m., we're going to have the members-only show, After Dark, uncensored. Maybe you'll get a little heated, but let's read some superchats. Ian Hall says, brain cancer or being a lefty? Same difference.
Starting point is 01:33:40 Yikes. Kyle says, all my guns are trans muskets. Trans muskets are muskets. Okay. I'll have to remember that. Yikes. Kyle says, all my guns are trans muskets. Trans muskets are muskets. Okay. I'll have to remember that. Caligula says, two nights in a row with no notification, and I have the bell run for all. Imagine my surprise.
Starting point is 01:33:56 You bunch of wrong thinkers. LOL. Yeah, smash the bell icon, I guess. I don't know. I don't know if that matters. All right. Raymond G. Maga Stanley Jr. says, thanks, guys. I was late for work today.
Starting point is 01:34:10 Couldn't leave my car. I had to finish last night's IRL Uncensored. Substantive. Inspiring with a pinch of spice. Indeed it was. A hefty show. A lot of people responding to last night's episode. Ian, I apologize for being heated.
Starting point is 01:34:24 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, episode. Ian, I apologize for being heated. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, man. I thought it was a good conversation. I thought so too. Sometimes I feel like my ego is bruised. I get upset, but I still love you, and we need to keep doing this and things like this. Yeah, I feel like some people might think, like, you know, I don't know. I actually thought the good, like the heated element was good. I thought it was like getting that stuff out and having those conversations.
Starting point is 01:34:46 It's like 15 at Taco Bell again, just talking about magic cards in the universe. But I'll say that then, you know, a lot of people are mentioning last night's episode. It went long. It was like an hour. And then I just went on this rant about morality and stuff. And then Ian challenged some of my positions. He made good points. And a lot of people were like, actually, it was really good.
Starting point is 01:35:04 So you should check it out. But we're going to have one tonight, good points. And a lot of people were like, actually, it was really good. So you should check it out. But we're going to have one tonight and it should be a lot of fun. I think people like hearing when people are passionate about stuff because so often people are guarded in what they're saying. It's better that you guys yell at each other.
Starting point is 01:35:14 I thought it was good. Yeah. Here we go. Ehaf says, Tim, you should apologize to Ian for calling him stupid in the member section last night. I do apologize for that.
Starting point is 01:35:24 You looked and sounded like a bully. Ian, you good man. Your hearts are in the right place and you have more patience and empathy than me. Don't take anything personally. That's one of the four agreements. You know, look, I get mad sometimes and anybody who watches a show long enough
Starting point is 01:35:36 sees like one in every 50 episodes where I lose it. Oh, when I knew you before we were friends, I was like, oh, I'm going to get heated with that guy. Like I want to have a conversation with you. Just let it fly, man. You got to be around with that guy. I wanted to have a conversation with you. Just let it fly, man. You've got to be around people you can trust that you can let it out with. Yeah, sometimes people get mad.
Starting point is 01:35:54 Especially when we're talking about such important issues and stuff that we really care about. Oh, my gosh. And crafting reality. Yeah. All right. Kyle Army says Hartford Whalers. Oh, my gosh. You recognized my shirt.
Starting point is 01:36:05 So many super chats about that. Guys, it is the best hockey team of all time. It no longer exists through the Carolina Hurricanes, but yeah, this is my tribute to Connecticut where I grew up. Yeah. I hope all of you had no idea. You perked up so well. None. Looks like the Autobot Transformer insignia.
Starting point is 01:36:22 I love it. Oh, I don't know what that is, but I do know what the... Oh, okay. Bobcat says, Tim, why don't you have any shows about West Virginia cryptids? You're in West Virginia. You could invite the Flatwoods Monster on the show if you wanted. Just offer him some Krigler coffee, he'll show.
Starting point is 01:36:36 We do have a plan for that. I don't want to say too much, but Tales from the Inverted World. Shane Cashman and the crew, Jessica, Alex, everybody's working on this. They went totally overboard. Carter making the intro song. I was like thinking we're going to do this show with 10-minute YouTube videos. And then they were like, actually, we made hour-long episodes. It's 10 episodes that are hour-long.
Starting point is 01:36:57 And I'm like, wow. It's visuals. It's audio-visual with sound effects as Shane tells the story of looking for the lost Confederate gold. We have several ideas of the next story arcs, which I won't say too much, but cryptids may be involved. Mobsters. Speakeasies. We have a whole bunch of stuff that we're planning for Tales from the Inverted World. And we're going to keep making it.
Starting point is 01:37:20 And you know what I'm realizing, too, is the amount of money that it costs to make these shows, it's a lot. But you don't need that many people to subscribe to the show. And so that's what I'm thinking with TimCast.com. We have to stop trying to play this business where it's like, imagine I started a bakery and I gave away all the cakes for free. But I just crossed my fingers that somebody would buy the rights to put their name on the cake. And then it's like, well, it cost me a million dollars to make the cakes, but I made a million and a thousand because someone paid for the rights to have their name on the cakes. It's like a ridiculous business model, to be honest.
Starting point is 01:37:50 Maybe something small scale. Why don't we make shows and then just be like, here's a preview. If you want to watch it, watch it. And then we get a certain amount of people, we can support the show forever. All right. Let's grab some more superchats.
Starting point is 01:38:03 Blueheart says Biden cured cancer. Cancer attacking itself. Who would have who thought i forgot about that donald schoolcraft says danny retired targeting officer here thank you for keeping up the good fight and getting out love what you do brother yeah thank you much right on random eskimo says this follows with my 2024 election theory biden says he's going to run he bravely fights for re-election and two to three months before election he sadly is removed and replaced by not kamala and they push sympathy vote maybe yeah maybe maybe maybe trident 54 says tim allow me to strongly suggest your first sunday debate mike glover from fieldcraft survival channel versus b tatum subject uvalde police criticism versus a pro uvalde police department position Sunday Debate. Mike Glover from Fieldcraft Survival Channel versus B. Tatum. Subject,
Starting point is 01:38:45 Uvalde police criticism versus a pro-Uvalde police department position. Brandon said today he would be open to a discussion. Long live Chicken Ian. That would be absolutely amazing. I really want to do the Sunday Debate show. I think that would be absolutely incredible. Bring in a couple different people
Starting point is 01:39:01 to just talk about an idea and hash it out. And then smack the mic, maybe. Yeah, that'd be great let's do it all right colt m4a1 says get chris hansen on the show to talk about groomers and predators oh yeah billboard chris i'd love to yeah rainy videos has question for ian if ian believes abortion is not murder in colorado then did the Nazis murder 6 million people? The Nazis didn't think it was murder, and the principle of the argument is the same. That's a good question because they did not consider it murder. So to a Nazi, the answer would be no, but to the outside person looking at it, well, technically it's still no.
Starting point is 01:39:41 You can argue that it ethically should be treated like murder. And then after the fact, they're like, hey, now that we're in charge, it's still no. You can argue that it ethically should be treated like murder. And then after the fact, they're like, hey, now that we're in charge, it was murder. So that's where I don't want that to happen in the United States where people are like, hey, by the way, all those abortions last year, they were murders, and now you're all going to jail. We've got to be careful. We've got to be careful that we don't, I mean, persecute our own citizens for. This is where I think viability plays the biggest role. If the baby can survive, there's no reason to kill it. If the baby is able to live, there's no reason to kill it.
Starting point is 01:40:10 So you hear these stories from women where they're like, the baby was, you know, unable to survive on its own, but it was alive. So they wouldn't remove it. And it's like, I think there's a circumstance where if there is a baby that has no heart or something that's not viable like that baby is not going to be born and live then i then i think i i feel like these are fake arguments meant to find an extreme to justify terminating healthy babies sometimes i wonder what would happen if you told women like if you carry the pregnancy that you like if you don't want to be a mom but you're pregnant and you carry the pregnancy to viability, we'll pay for an abortion. You don't have to go through natural childbirth.
Starting point is 01:40:49 Because I think people who don't want to take responsibility also don't want to have to go through labor. Like, you mentioned that you have two daughters. I don't have any kids, but, like, that seems very painful. And I assume that if you already don't want to raise a kid, you don't want to have to produce one either. It's still a major surgery, but if you told them, look, you could just skip birth, like enough of them would opt into doing it.
Starting point is 01:41:10 Seriously. Yeah. All right. You Know Who says, Tim Kess just lost half of its paying female subscribers when Ian casually let it slip that he has a girlfriend. Unsubscribed. They'll be back. I can't resist.
Starting point is 01:41:23 Actually, I'm really excited for Kess Castle because I saw what they were working on today. And I will say this fully candidly. The first part was a little drawn out and rough. And I was like, okay, I got to give you some notes on this. But then the plot lines, the next two were just masterfully done. Like, it's rough. You know, look, we're not a big production studio. We've got a couple camera guys and some comedians and we're
Starting point is 01:41:47 making something work, but it was good. Kara's great. Kara's my girlfriend. She's a natural. She nailed it. It was funny. It was really good. Thanks, Kara. You're great. Love you. You playing the guitar outside. For those that haven't seen it on the vlog, we did this bit where he's Langston
Starting point is 01:42:04 Stewart? Langston, you know, what is it? Langston Stewart? Langston Stewart Jr. III. And it's like Ian's a character, so he thinks rocks don't have magic. But we all know they do. We all know they have magic. That's because you're in character right now, right? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:17 Okay. I'm still in character. It's going to be hard to come to the office. I'm going to get so confused. Be a method actor. Yeah. Murph Try says, this will be my last super chat for IRL because I will be upping my Timcast monthly support.
Starting point is 01:42:28 Another $10. Wow. I'd rather give you and Dan a majority of my money than have YouTube take most of it from you. Keep up the fight. I really do appreciate it. I'm stoked. Yeah, Dan Bongino was co-founder of Parallel Economy.
Starting point is 01:42:40 Yeah, I have the name. Let me see if I can pull up the name of the other guy. He co-founded with Jeffrey Wernick, an angel investor. he did and i love the fact that he had more subs on rumble and then youtube was like we're banning you dan bongino's like i don't care i got more subs over here why would i why do i care i'm like that's amazing so um let me just stress there are many many more architectural and structural and infrastructure changes that are coming and i'm very excited to announce them when we can.
Starting point is 01:43:06 But we've got to build them. So right now, when you sign up at TimCast.com, no more PayPal. Parallel economy. A Dan Bongino company. Proud to say. All right. Let's grab some super duper chats. We've got more people saying we got, oh, man, Charlie Wilson.
Starting point is 01:43:21 I think the Hartford Whalers are now the most repped NHL team on TimCast. Thanks, Hannah. Go Canes. Yes, we're all happy. Yeah. Look, guys, there are no professional sports teams in Connecticut. Not anymore. Their logo is cool.
Starting point is 01:43:34 It was designed by an architect. I don't think they were a particularly successful team, but I love them nonetheless. And if anyone wants to bring them back, I would be all for it. A lot of heart. Pine Tree Squad says, Tim, Congress is attempting to pass hr 1808 the assault weapons ban would be an outright ban on some of the country's most uh countries pistols shotguns and rifles this tyranny must be stopped i did a segment on this it's a it's it's a near outright total ban yeah it would ban like the majority of wooden stock hunting rifles. What? And I say that somewhat facetiously. The left is always like,
Starting point is 01:44:08 you don't need a weapon of war, and they show a Ruger 10-22 with a pistol grip. And they're like, you need a hunting rifle, and they show a Ruger 10-22 with a rifle grip. And I'm like, you have no idea what you're talking about. But if the magazine is over 10 rounds, and it has a fore grip or a telescoping
Starting point is 01:44:24 stock, it's an assault weapon. It's like, what? That's like everything. It's nonsense. When did you get interested in guns, Tim? I don't know, 2019 when someone tried breaking into my house. I thought it was when you got the musket in the back. I was going to be, that's a good time to have got excited about it.
Starting point is 01:44:41 Well, cops told me to buy a shotgun because a guy tried breaking in. New Jersey cops. I think the FBI actually said that the AR is the best home defense weapon. Is it though? I don't know. I just think that's the, I'm almost positive that they put out a report that they said that the AR is the best home defense weapon. Wouldn't you want like
Starting point is 01:44:57 an, you know, an AR style pistol with nine millimeter frangible hollow point or something like that. Yeah. I mean, at the end of the day, I'm not a gun bunny. You know, I have the pistol by my bed. That's what I have. But I also think that a lot of people grossly underestimate, if I'm just being transparent, their ability to actually shoot somebody. Yep.
Starting point is 01:45:19 You know, the first time I put crosshairs on another human, that's an unnerving feeling. Well, you know the story from Vietnam. The soldiers were firing above the person. They didn't want to kill him. Do you know the psychology behind what they actually did here? What is it? So back in World War II, I think it was something. I'm going to butcher this a little bit, but you can look it up for the actual stats. I think it was something like 75% of soldiers in World War II
Starting point is 01:45:45 did not take a shot on target of first opportunity. And what they were doing, they were training them on the bullseyes, right? So it was just a pull circle like everybody's seen for a bullseye. The way they started working around that was by the time Vietnam came around, they started using the pop-up silhouettes. And so when you have to qualify with your weapon, you have like two seconds to engage the pop-up
Starting point is 01:46:11 silhouette. So you just get used to seeing a head and shoulders pop up and then you instantly engage. And then I think by the time they said Vietnam, that rate had went up to like 70-80% of people took the first now we've got games like America's Army like video first person shooters that are training people
Starting point is 01:46:29 just to be able to do that I think that it's like evolving apparently it's like as few as 15 percent fired their weapon at the enemy I'm just looking at random search results and they're saying 75 is a conservative 75 percent is a conservative estimate. All right. What do we got here? The clincher says Biden slipped the cancer line in as a cry for help. He's hoping public would catch on, demand he be removed, then he can finally ride off in peace. He just wants to sit in the sun, take a nap.
Starting point is 01:46:59 He is our nation's oldest president of all time. Why don't we let this guy retire? He wants to run again. I don retire? He wants to run again. I don't think he wants to run again. I love when people complain about it's the old white men that ruin everything and then you literally elected the oldest white man in the country's history.
Starting point is 01:47:15 Just to clarify on your statement about soldiers not taking the shot, it comes from a book, S.L.A. Marshall's controversial book, Men Against Fire, The Problem of Battle Command. And they don't know if it's real. It's not 100% confirmed, of course, but it comes from that book. All right.
Starting point is 01:47:30 Cheeselo says, Tim, please tell me that you are still doing what is an assault weapon. This is a moral imperative. Yes, but it's very difficult because we need people. Now, we are having a meeting, I think, in the next week or so about documentary production stuff. So we will get to that. And, I mean, it might take a year or so. Hopefully it doesn't. But the idea is to do, you know, it's like the start of gun control, what we've currently seen, you know, are currently seeing with gun control. Is it working? Is it failing? And then the end is like potential real solutions to the problem. I think think everybody agrees gun violence is bad you don't want people going around shooting each other
Starting point is 01:48:09 so it'd be interesting to hear from experts you know what is your solution then if not gun control and then we would actually try and you know address that stuff so uh yeah let's read some more chris says tulsi gabbard literally endorsed biden Yeah, she was also against nuclear power and guns. Ain't perfect. But I thought she was principled and willing to have a conversation, and we desperately needed that. So take what you can get, man. But yeah, I'm very critical of her endorsement of Biden.
Starting point is 01:48:38 Seth Hauser says, Tim Harris has a nervous tick, a laughing one. I would hate for her to laugh at a different country when in a serious discussion and start a war or wars with them. Still do not want Pelosi either. Hear, hear. Eraftis of Stett says, I appreciate the Hartford
Starting point is 01:48:56 Whalers tea. Great guests. You planned wearing that, didn't you? No, because you asked me 20 minutes before the show if I wanted to come on. 20 minutes before the show. He's like, you're still working? How did they ever go out of business with all these fans? The thing is, we're like a cultural institution, but we weren't all in the same generation. I wear this shirt in airports and people stop me pretty regularly. You can get them at the Bradley International Airport.
Starting point is 01:49:17 Actually, if I'm on again, I'll wear my full-on Hartford Whalers jersey. You know, I think part of it is states that have a strong identity get behind their sports teams or whatever connecticut doesn't have i mean it's like part of new england it's thinking it's part of new york like the whalers are unifying force all right morgan h says my conspiracy theory has been harris steps down after the midterms biden nominates a new vp then resigns shortly after so dem's still incumbent i.e gerald ford is that what they did with him when nixon resigned oh i don't know that's interesting was ford the vp for nixon before no it was agnew wasn't it or was agnew spiro t agnew
Starting point is 01:49:57 i don't know how that worked out i was not old enough i did not exist back then the matter that makes up my body was but a humble banana. All right. Ben Hickson says, Ian, we love you, but you live in a world of principles while they play a game of power. Please watch Matt Colville video called Diplomacy. He's a DM talking about politics in Dungeons and Dragons. Tim, watch his video called Politics of War about World War I and Thucydides. Ooh, very interesting.
Starting point is 01:50:28 That's cool. That's a good idea. You know, I also do believe in the whole, if your enemy thinks you're weak, you're strong. So I do play kind of ignorant and dumb a little bit, because you can't do everything on the surface in reality. But I thank you for the statement. It's Langston Stewart Jr. III. Get it straight.
Starting point is 01:50:49 Ian's not a real person. There's no Ian Crossland. There's never been an Ian Crossland. An actor playing an actor. An actor playing an actor. That's the best way to confuse people. That's just how good Ian is. He can play so many roles at once and comment on them.
Starting point is 01:51:02 The multiverse. Stop. Sam says, The Democrat perspective and worldview on them. The multiverse. Stop. Sam says, the Democrat perspective and worldview never changed. Always elitists. They just made the ruthlessly pragmatic decision to be nicer and caring for the lesser people, like the poor and non-white. They treat us them like
Starting point is 01:51:18 pets. No, I disagree. They're not trying to be nicer to people. The policies they enact hurt people substantially Joe Biden is destroying is cranking up the price of gas personally going to the gas stations and adding the numbers I'm kidding but Joe Biden is enacting
Starting point is 01:51:34 policies that have hurt the price of gas Joe Biden allowed for US strategic oil to be sold off to China of all places and they call me crazy for pointing out which is a fact so he didn't care about you he cares about his agenda the Democrats have always been the elites places and they call me crazy for pointing out which is a fact so he didn't care about you he cares about his agenda the Democrats have always been the elites the the the we are better than
Starting point is 01:51:49 you and we're more deserving than you I don't think that's ever changed I think they just try to figure out how to manipulate to gain power because they realized they were losing all right Damon Kelly says what's up with the Hartford failures t-shirt okay whoa whoa whoa let's calm down you gotta get one negative comment. Gotta get it in. Kevin Brady says, former Tulsi donor here, but I've gone libertarian.
Starting point is 01:52:11 Does it not weird anyone else, weird out anyone else that Tulsi has essentially flipped in many aspects and is also on the World Economic Forum website? I can't trust politicians. My understanding of the World Economic Forum website, which includes her and Crenshaw, is that it's an editorial they have nothing
Starting point is 01:52:25 to do with. How lame would that be if you're just minding your own business and then Media Matters writes a big story about how you're the best and how you're one of their thought leaders and you're like, I do not work for these people. You know what? We should do that. Okay. Who are we endorsing
Starting point is 01:52:42 already tomorrow? Just like people on the left will endorse, be like, TimCast thought leader and we'll like, maybe too little overt, but then they'll be like, you know, we'll put Vosh in there and people will be like, why are you on Tim Pool's website? And he'll be like, I don't know. And they'll be like, liar! I have nothing to do with this.
Starting point is 01:52:58 Oh my gosh. You're our thought leader. We can't help it. And then we'll like, I'll send him a present, but I won't tell him who it's from. And then he'll show it on stream. And then we'll include, I'll send him a present, but I won't tell him who it's from. And then he'll show it on stream. And then we'll include that. Can we send him like a plaque being like, you're an official Tincast thought leader. It's like the World Economic Forum framing people
Starting point is 01:53:14 almost. Gotta be honest though, I'm not a big fan of Dan Crenshaw, so. We've invited him on the show several times. He's agreed and then cancelled and then cancelled again. Don't think he really wants to come on. There's a big ant running around over there. What's he doing? He's going for those daggone sweet and sour patches.
Starting point is 01:53:28 Oh, there's sugar on the table. That's it. Yep. What is... He's the... It's an assault fan. He's going to report to the hive that there was sugar here.
Starting point is 01:53:36 We got to clean it up. Somebody spilled the sour patch, kids. They leave a trail, like a chemical trail, wherever they go. Yep. Yes. Nasty little things dude
Starting point is 01:53:45 we've literally been bugged literally K Psalms 8404 says I start to enjoy Ian when I see him cry on the show when he starts to believe there is a God but then last night's members only gets me annoyed with him I wanted to read that because I do want to mention that you are like getting very emotional over your
Starting point is 01:54:01 godly revelation Jordan Peterson definitely him when he cries when he talks about what he believes and people coming up to him, it's one of the most funny. Yeah, they make fun of him for it. I don't know why people, I will never understand why folks turn on that dude. I'm a huge fan of that guy. He's great. He opened the floodgates so that I can express myself. It was that line he made about forcing women to carry babies for incels, I think.
Starting point is 01:54:27 You know, that really, I'm just kidding. You never said that. Oh, yeah, I know who it is. They claimed he did. It was funny because he talked about enforced monogamy, which is a phrase that references cultural monogamy, like people choosing to get married. And then they made it seem like he was arguing that women should be held at gunpoint,
Starting point is 01:54:42 like a handmaid's tale or something. I don't know what he meant. I don't knowid's tale or something nobody meant i don't know but you know you know if you don't know what you're talking about you should probably google it andy welsh has regarding hunter filming his escapades conjures one of my favorite lines from the big short they're not confessing they're bragging yeah yeah mad mallard says please look into former chinese generals buying tens of thousands of acres of property near sensitive military and commercial sites in the middle of the country particularly next to fort hood and fort still yeah i heard about that like what's us yeah don't like that
Starting point is 01:55:15 you know easy it is to become an american citizen if you're rich foreign citizens will but will start a company in the united states because you don't need to be a citizen to do so then they'll hire themselves and offer themselves a visa opportunity. They buy their way in. Many countries actually have paid citizenship, though. You can go to a country and be like, I'd like to get a residency visa, a work visa, or citizenship, and they'll be like, put $500,000 in a bank account. We'll give you a passport.
Starting point is 01:55:40 New Zealand does this. I mean, a lot of people have taken advantage of it. You think there's people that are citizens of every country? No. Some countries won't let you be citizens of other places. Like, I have three citizenships, but because my parents immigrated and applied out, like, some countries have language requirements. You have to be born on soil.
Starting point is 01:56:02 You have to have a certain amount of literal residency. When my brother enlisted in the Marine Corps, he was an intelligence officer, and to get his clearance, he had to renounce his citizenships other than his American citizenship. So there are some countries that will let you have it and some that won't. I know people who are American
Starting point is 01:56:18 citizens and Iranian citizens, but neither recognize the other. But it's interesting, though, because when they do, you can get drafted. So if you're a dual citizen and the U.S. recognizes. Yeah. But it's interesting, though, because when they do, you can get drafted. So if you're a dual citizen and the U.S. recognizes it and your country has a draft, like, go.
Starting point is 01:56:30 You're drafted. Like, you got to follow the law, man. All right. Pet Detective says, hey, I wanted to say I love the show and also I got to go to my first Trump rally. He finally came to Alaska. Isn't it hilarious?
Starting point is 01:56:43 No, I mean, like, literally, Trump rallies are hilarious. The man is a comedian. He's really funny. I've been to so many Isn't it hilarious? No, I mean, like, literally, Trump rallies are hilarious. The man is a comedian. He's really funny. I've been to so many Trump rallies when I was working. I was covering them. I was talking to people. It's just a laugh riot.
Starting point is 01:56:53 He's doing like. He's an entertainer. You know, he nails the right wing Jon Stewart kind of thing. Talking about politics, talking about how people feel and making it funny. And everyone laughs when they hear it, and he's calling people out. Funny guy. When he pointed to CNN, you are fake news, and everyone's like, well, they love it. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:57:12 I've seen him speak a couple times, and he really can just capture people's attention. I've seen him speak even in a serious tone, and it feels very accessible. I still think the wildest thing I thought he said was when COVID first popped out, I was actually sitting in the base waiting on my ID. And he was like – they asked him about COVID. He's like, you're probably not going to die from it. And I'm like, did you really just say that? He said a bunch of stuff.
Starting point is 01:57:35 He's like, one day it will just go away. It's like, okay. I mean, he was right. No, it's still around. It's just – Yeah, but you don't hear about it. Depends on what you're reading. The people in cities are reading about it nonstop. They won't let it go. It's crazy around. Yeah, but you don't hear about it. Depends on what you're reading. The people in cities are reading about it nonstop.
Starting point is 01:57:46 They won't let it go. It's crazy because I know – It's becoming – I guess it's becoming endemic. Yeah. I know more people with COVID now. I didn't get COVID for two years and I finally got it, right? And I knew all these people had it and nobody was talking about it at all. But then when everybody was talking about it, I never knew.
Starting point is 01:58:04 I'm not saying COVID wasn't real. I believe it was real. But at the same time, it was like, I know more people now with nobody saying anything about it than back when it was like the hype. Well, it's because the media is full of it. Let's grab one more super tip. We've got Morgan H. He says, look up Gerald Ford. Spiro Agnew stepped down and Nixon nominated Ford.
Starting point is 01:58:20 Nixon resigned. Ford ran as an incumbent against Carter but lost. Interesting. Oh, that's really... Here's one more. Dayzen says, Is that a classic Fender or new release, Tim? Wish I could see the headstock.
Starting point is 01:58:31 That is a... What is it? Brett Mason? I love that guitar. It's relatively new, custom. Really cool. It matches your outfits. Oh, did you look at that?
Starting point is 01:58:42 Well, I think that's why I chose... I put it there for the colors and everything. My favorite is the Harmony silhouette you can't see over there. That thing, I love it. That, did you look at that? Well, I think that's why I chose, I put it there for the colors and everything. My favorite is the Harmony silhouette you can't see over there. That thing, I love it. That's that bronze looking one? No, not the bronze one, the blue one. Oh, yeah, yeah, the stretch one.
Starting point is 01:58:52 That's my favorite one. Plus with the Fender amp, it sounds so good. We're going over the latest song that Carter put together, and I just think it's like, I cannot believe how good Carter is at it. Carter's so good. Carter is amazing.
Starting point is 01:59:07 I feel like I used to walk into his studio he's kind of separate from everyone because his studio is off to the side and you go in to be like, hey buddy, how are you doing? Haven't seen you in a couple days. He'd be like, look at this cool thing. He's got like a beard and he's like taking a rock star.
Starting point is 01:59:16 He's got like 87 rocks. I have worked for three days straight. You'll be like, it's Sunday. Go home and he'll be like, what? I don't understand. Listen to this song. He's got his application video to Timcast. He put it on YouTube. It's this. Go home and be like, what? I don't understand. Listen to this song. He's got his application video to TimCast. He put it on YouTube.
Starting point is 01:59:27 It's this incredibly well-edited, hilarious video, like two minutes. If you want the benchmark for how to get hired by a company like TimCast, you've got to look at Carter Banks' application video on YouTube. And then I wrote the song on acoustic guitar. He heard it, and he transformed it, and it's's just like I can't believe how good it is. So anyway, my friends, that will be coming out. I think the album
Starting point is 01:59:48 is going to be out like August 21st or something like that so we'll see. If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button and subscribe to this
