After Tucker Carlson dropped his interview with Alex Jones about a half an hour long, the quartering tweeted that it's time to bring him back. And Elon Musk said, yeah, let's run a poll.
Starting point is 00:01:09 And then someone else tweeted, here's why Alex Jones was banned in the first place. And Elon Musk says that doesn't sound like I'm paraphrasing, but that's not a legitimate reason for a ban on someone. So it may be that we are winning the censorship. Well, we are literally winning against the censorship industrial complex, but we're also winning against the woke industrial complex because now we've got this big firm saying they're going to pull $100 million out of universities over these presidents if calling for the genocide of jews broke their rules and they all said well i guess it depends on the context this is resulting in a massive backlash which is particularly interesting so we'll talk about that plus we got to talk about vivek ramaswamy he said a whole bunch of things on stage last night at the jubilee debate he said january 6 looks like an inside job he's wrong jan 6th is definitively an inside job because there's
Starting point is 00:02:05 videos of police officers opening the door, fanning people in, taking selfies with them, and giving them guided tours. So if that's not an inside job, I don't know what is. But he also said that great replacement theory is not a conspiracy theory. It's Democrat policy. And of course, now Van Jones has said he's shaking hearing this man who's going to outlive Trump by 50 years. And this is the right of like Nazi fascism, whatever. OK, well, how about I play a clip of Van Jones saying that he and the woke left are asking white people to give up on being a majority and accept becoming minority? Quite literally echoing claims made by by those who are discussing a great replacement.

Sounds like your mic's not on. Do we get it? Nope. Oh, I think we had that issue. We were having a similar issue yesterday. No, it's a microphone. That's weird. I'll figure that out here.
Starting point is 00:04:05 I don't know what's going on. I think it's... So the other day we had a headphone problem. I'm wondering if whatever is joint, like bringing these cables together is busted? Maybe. Is it? I mean, it was working like literally three minutes ago. Yeah. Here, in the meantime...
Starting point is 00:04:19 Wait, wait, I heard something. Check, check. No, no. Come sit over here in the meantime while we work on it. You'll be honorary ian do we know what happened uh not yet trying to figure it out all right well uh there you go who are you what do you do uh eli crane. I'm currently a congressman from Arizona, former small business owner, Navy veteran as well.
Starting point is 00:04:51 So dad, husband, all of that. Right on. We've got some interesting stuff coming out of Congress. I guess Jamal Bowman got censured. Yep. Yeah. We'll talk about that. And this is kind of funny.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Kevin McCarthy resigned. He's gone. I mean, was that a big deal for you guys? No one seemed to care. It just kind of disappeared. Yeah. I think it was kind of funny. Kevin McCarthy resigned. He's gone. I mean, was that a big deal for you guys? No one seemed to care. It just kind of disappeared. Yeah, I think it was kind of surprising. I don't think too many people saw that coming. I was one of the eight who voted him out.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Right on. So, yeah. Whoa. Oh, that was it right there. That's awesome. I think I obviously just heard a noise. And if you want, we can just talk into it. You can't. We't we can just do this nothing you can just do this if you want search because this works i can hear uh i think people can hear me just swivel that microphone i mean it's making
Starting point is 00:05:33 noises but i think the cable broke probably just need to get a new cable yeah probably oh i know what i know what happened is people keep spinning the arm around oh And then it ripped the cable out. Yeah, like tore the threads on the inside of well He doesn't have a camera either. I'll move your drinks Yeah, once we get everything set up we can refit fabricate the anyway, Phil the body's here hanging out hi everybody My name's Phil. I'm the lead singer of all that remains the heavy metal band. I am a failed musician Anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. And Ian is bouncing around the table. What up? I'm sitting in Dickie Barrett's chair.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Did you guys see that show? That was awesome. There were a lot of people up there in that chair. Milo sat in that chair. Milo Yiannopoulos sat here. This is a gold chair. I like having the musical stuff in the background. I'll only be here for a little while.
Starting point is 00:06:23 These headphones are a little jacked too. I think they slide out of the, out of the, this thing. Yeah. They don't lock into place. Well, it is what it is.
Starting point is 00:06:32 When it's in, it's in. These things happen. And then, uh, Serge is pressing the buttons. Yep, trying to figure this all out here. Serge is running. Dude, Serge is like a hurricane.
Starting point is 00:06:41 He's spinning around the room. It's showing me that it's feeding, but there's just nothing coming through. So it looks at the cable. I don't know. Cool. Can you see me? We's feeding, but there's just nothing coming through. So it looks at the cable. I don't know. Cool.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Can you see me? We had a problem with it yesterday, too. Awesome. Well, C'est la vie. So how about we just jump into the news, then? You want to switch now? Yeah. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:06:53 All right. There we go. All right. And while they're doing that, here's a story from the Post Millennial. Elon Musk considers bringing Alex Jones back to X. We'll run a poll to decide. So here's what happens. We have Tucker Carlson drop his interview with Alex Jones.
Starting point is 00:07:09 The quartering tweets. Think about how much letting Alex Jones back on X would make the machine rage. Elon Musk. It's time. Elon responds. We'll consider in general, since this platform aspires to be the global town square, permanent bans should be extremely rare. Also, if he does say something false on this platform, then community notes will correct him, whereas that would not be the case elsewhere.
Starting point is 00:07:33 And then he says, let's hold a poll. So this could be it. I think I think with this boycott, the attack against Elon Musk and X, which is clearly nonsensical. Elon earlier was tweeting at Disney because Instagram and Facebook, meta companies, were sued by the New Mexico AG for advancing, allowing, and facilitating child abuse and all that entails, trafficking, etc., and materials. And so Elon Musk is saying why why are they still advertising on these on this platform how come all these advertisers are on facebook with no problem about something we've all known about now for how it's been like a year since the initial reports came out that they were doing this and no action's been taken
Starting point is 00:08:17 and they're boycotting x i think actions like that result in elon being like all right screw it alex jones is back i i think that alex j Jones coming back is probably baked into the kick now. I don't know that I agree that the treatment of Musk currently by the government and by the other media establishment is the defining factor. I think that the conversation that Tucker Carlson had with Jones, I listened to about half of it on the way here today. And I think that there's a lot of compelling stuff in the conversation that I think would make Musk kind of sit up and be like, oh, I misunderstood.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Because if I understand correctly, Musk's position was Alex Jones did do this, and that's why he was booted off. And apparently that's not the case. I don't know. I think Elon Musk's position was publicly, whoa, Alex Jones said a bunch of bad things. So, you know, there's a line. But in reality, it was, guys guys there's only so much i can do right yeah he was trying to avoid having every advertiser just jump off the platform but if
Starting point is 00:09:30 that's happening already seems like elon's like all right screw it well i think i mean he probably kind of i mean maybe there is a little more to your initial comment than i than i initially said because he's probably he probably is thinking well you know they're banning they're they're affecting my advertising base anyways. Right. Like I've done the things that you're supposed to do to get along with them. But because I own X and don't want to, you know, just allow the FBI to have an office in my building because of that, then they're still going to go and try and attack me and try and ruin the business. I think that I think that that that probably does have a
Starting point is 00:10:05 significant impact on his his take fully agree that's exactly what i think is happening they and i wouldn't even consider that the advertisers aren't even boycotting x they're boycotting elon they're it's a personal it seems personal i think it's governmental oh i think yeah like i said i like that's why i said uh mentioned an uh an fbi desk in twitter because that's essentially what they had before. I forget what his name was, the guy that was the FBI lawyer that worked at Twitter. He was Twitter's top lawyer. But in the same way that you don't leave the Intel establishment, like if you get out of, you know, you stop working at CIA and you go to a tech company, you're still working for CIA at a tech company you're still working for cia at a tech company you could
Starting point is 00:10:45 you still have the connections you're still making you still have the you know you still can talk to the people that you used to work with and you know for a fact the higher-ups the bureau chiefs and stuff or the higher-ups at cia are calling you up and saying hey can you get me this or can you do this if they want something from the tech company you could argue that tech companies big tech companies are web can be weaponized i mean just like boeing can be weaponized they're 100 already part of the military industrial complex but they also make commuter jets like they'll make commercial airliners but then they were also machines were weaponized for war and social media i think can
Starting point is 00:11:18 also be very very easily so is there are they right do you what do you think well i want to ask you uh you have you worked on any of the weaponization stuff whether they're tracking what was going on with collusion no i haven't i'm on homeland security small business and veterans affairs and i think it's great i'd love to see alex back on uh back on x yeah oh he's back on you have to have a clearance for that and stuff thanks for what for homeland security oh yeah yeah every every member of congress gets clearance yeah what is it yeah no uh what level of clearance are we are we allowed to know um i mean i don't think there's too much that you're not allowed to see as a member of congress no i mean like does the public
Starting point is 00:12:00 know the degree of clearance that members of congress get? Is it publicly known? If you're in Congress, you get top secret or something? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:01 BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. You get top secret. Oh, okay. Well then. I want to know what's going on with, I don't think it's a coincidence that Meta's apps are now widespread
Starting point is 00:13:17 reporting about the facilitation of child abuse. Not a single advertiser cares. The same thing happened with the whole January 6th thing. Everybody, all of the evidence shows that the people that did talk about you know going to the protest and possibly rioting or whatever they were all making the congress they were all having conversations on facebook and yet the government blamed parlor and went after parlor's infrastructure and basically you know torpedoed parlor saying that people were organizing for the protests and stuff on parlor when in reality they were doing it on facebook then it makes me think that there is
Starting point is 00:13:53 massive government infrastructure in facebook and they're happy to keep it open absolutely business because it's like a honeypot absolutely the the tech companies whether we realized it or not the the big social media companies that we decided you you know, as a society, we are just going to give all of our information to. They are the the monitoring apparatus for the federal government because the federal government just needs a subpoena. Like we they don't have to like it doesn't have to be this big brother nefarious where they're putting speakers and stuff or putting microphones in your car and stuff because they're already there in fact we we bought all the speakers and and stuff to put into our own you know our own homes so they don't have to do anything except go to a court and say uh you know we need a we need you
Starting point is 00:14:40 know we need to subpoena these records we need to subpoena the communications for this person for these dates all they have to do is know where to look the government will go to the court the court is there are i would be willing to bet anything there is not a court in america that would turn the federal government down if they say we need to get we need to subpoena this information from google i wonder if there's a if there was an option for us to scramble all data on all social networks so that no one has access to it if that would actually be good for the american military industrial complex defense organization like if they'd be like yeah it's better that no one has it because right now yeah the fbi might have access
Starting point is 00:15:15 to it but sort of this chinese ccp they can they can hack it and take it too and i wonder if what if it what they would do if they could do that because i'm thinking thinking about quantum encryption and post-encryption and stuff like that. I want to say that there was already some kind of legislation about encryption that the government doesn't want the population or the private sector to have encryption technology. They want to consider it a weapon and say that companies can't have encryption. That was one of the – I heard – I don't have any detail about it. I, this is just something that I heard in passing and I haven't done any kind of studying up on it,
Starting point is 00:15:50 but it doesn't surprise me because the government hates the idea of not being able to access information. There's like, I just did a conversation with Kevin Kane who does quantum encryption or post quantum encryption. I think it's what it's called. And they're, they're trying to figure out,
Starting point is 00:16:01 get ahead of the game because once they figure out how to crack encryption with quantum computers, then they need to put some kind of new encryption in place. And it's like, is it even ethical to talk about this out loud? Because even if we're just spitballing ideas, they're listening. I mean, the CCP, whoever the boogeyman is at the day. I'm confident the government has people working for them that are way smarter than me that have thought of things that I'm not going to think of. Yeah, a lot of seconds. I'm not worried about giving the government ideas. A of the the federal government is getting ahead of the curve
Starting point is 00:16:28 but it's kind of that thing like until you know how it can be broken you don't know what to make to fix to prevent it from being broken so you got to break it before you can improve it and then that could be like bank records get released everybody's phone calls texts uh all that signal all your encryption stuff is like you know a quantum computer can can take vector attacks like rather than trying to be like abcd abce abc you don't even need to have quantum computer because like i said you just got the courts the courts just say give it to them and then what if you don't give it to them no no what i'm saying is that is like google though the court will go to google and say google give it to them but if it's the right right if if if there's backdoor access through these big companies i think that
Starting point is 00:17:09 i don't think that there needs to be backdoor access i think they just the the federal government can just go to the court say we need this information and you're saying the corporations will hand it over yeah right right verizon all these big big companies i think they've been known i think there's been reports that they just do the only company that i that i'm aware of that gave them the government the middle finger was Apple when they wanted to get into that guy's iPhone because he'd committed a terrorist attack and they wanted to open it. And then I think the Fed said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:17:32 Never mind. We don't need it. We got it anyway. I mean, that might have been how it was resolved. I don't remember. But I do remember that Apple was like, no, we're not. Because they wanted to build a backdoor or something like that. And they're like, look, if we show you a backdoor or build a back door into this that it it's for all of them then yeah
Starting point is 00:17:47 and actually in terms of what apple's trying to build the best marketing for the fact that they have it is that they publicly say no to the fbi and then they're like nah we're not giving it to you because we built the thing and that's good for everyone else too so buy our products i'm thinking like if i keep thinking decentralized social media so that the companies don't have access to your messages they're all encrypted peer-to-peer but now I'm like well if those truly are weapons of war social media machines and things like that social media algorithms we can't decent or could we decentralize Boeing that wouldn't make a lot of sense because then it becomes a security risk how do you build the plane when the parts aren't in the same building you'd have to get them to
Starting point is 00:18:23 ship them to their location and if one of those factories goes down and can't get the bolts over to the main factory to put the aircraft together the entire thing shuts down so it's almost like a risk not to have it centralized that's that's that's how stuff goes as it is especially like and we actually we talked about this the other night at the military um if you're building a complex piece of equipment for the military they try to spread out the actual parts manufacturing into as many congressional districts as possible so that way yeah if you want to get rid of a program you're getting rid of a bunch of jobs that congress people are like ah you're not taking these jobs from my district yeah i was talking to congressman gates about that and he was telling me
Starting point is 00:18:58 that uh some of the some of the smartest folks that's how they'll do it with some of these fighter jets and whatnot they'll make sure that you know a piece is made in every single state that way if you know you'll have every all the representation fighting to keep that same fighter um online and it's smart you know but it i don't know man it's definitely not it's definitely not in the best interest of the american people right it's an addiction yeah it's it's a programmed addiction by these uh government actors making these deals whoever it may be legislators or otherwise where they're they're trying to make sure we can never shut down a government program yeah it's the biggest problem we have with government is the inability for it to fail so when bad things happen when
Starting point is 00:19:39 corrupt things happen and when failure happens the machine keeps going sucking in more and more money becoming more and more corrupt, and then eventually imploding. That's exactly the argument that libertarians make about private sector versus public sector. Anything in the government, there's no way for it to be punished by failing other than people voting people out. And to be honest with you, the failure has to be on such a catastrophic level to get people to say this guy needs to go it has to be really bad for a lot of people um whereas in the private sector if you're if you're if you're not making money two quarters
Starting point is 00:20:15 in a row the higher-ups are looking to replace everybody you know if you're if you if you're if you go from being in the black you know to red, they're like, yo, why? Look at what's going on at Disney. There are people talking about their writing letters to their investors saying, yo, we know that things have been messed up. Stick with us. We're going to make changes and stuff. You've covered those. I want to jump to this story because we've got someone who actually can provide some uh some good answers here and help us understand we got this from the
Starting point is 00:20:46 new york times house censures jamal bowman for false fire alarm lawmakers voted to formally rebuke mr bowman for setting off a false fire alarm in the house office building the latest partisan use of a once rare congressional action formerly reserved for grave offenses uh rep crane what is censure what does that mean yeah it's just basically like a slap on the wrist i mean it really it's it's really not not anything substantive i mean nothing he's gonna yeah he's gonna have commercials run up you know by his opponents that he was censured but it really doesn't do much and it doesn't do anything not really no it's official it's a it's official it's the official way for congress to disapprove
Starting point is 00:21:25 of you yeah he had he had to go down to it happened today i was you know there on the house floor and he basically had to go down to the well which is like right in front of where the speaker's chair is and you know they they they read his censure and he had to stand there publicly and all the democrats like crowded around him didn't they all vote in support of him or something yeah but yeah the democrats voted in support of him but he did pull obviously he pulled he should be in fire along pulled the fire alarm and uh i i remember the day it happened and i thought it was a joke when people were telling me that he pulled pulled the fire alarm and it was kind of ironic and funny that you know he was a principal he was acting like he did he thought it was like gonna let him out of the door or something
Starting point is 00:22:10 he should be in jail and i i think he should be expelled from congress i think censure is too light let me ask you why was why was uh santos expelled for being too awesome but seriously though like like what what was the actual offense he committed in Congress that warranted expulsion? Yeah, I know he had a bunch of indictments. I didn't vote to expel him. I voted to keep him. But I know that the New York delegation was really pushing hard for him to go. And this was just my theory.
Starting point is 00:22:40 It was just my thought i think i i think that a lot of the new york constituents and donors that got burnt by santos were putting a lot of pressure on those guys to get rid of george now if you ever met george in person like the guys he's hilarious um i'm not going to sit here and defend george's like persona i will what he did what did he do i don't know well they said he used a bunch of campaign funds to you know buy you know he used a bunch of campaign funds to buy. He broke a lot of campaign finance laws. He used campaign funds to get Botox and get just a bunch of consumer goods and services that you're not allowed to do. Stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Using people's credit cards that were donors were donors to like buy stuff like that so i think he had a bunch of indictments yeah um but yeah i mean that's serious but the my my concern with it is though if that becomes the standard right you're indicted and then we can kick you out we can kick you out of congress because of a report the ethics committee did in my opinion that opens up uh you know a pretty big door especially when we're watching you know former president trump they're trying to do the same thing to him they're trying to destroy him with lawfare and indictments and so i don't like the precedent it's why many of us tried to save george and we saved him more we we saved him um in the
Starting point is 00:24:02 past but it's because he's not convicted of anything no could he be wild oh yeah he can be and some of my colleagues i've talked to some of my colleagues who are lawyers and prosecutors who do believe he will be but i don't know man that's not my area i don't know that i don't know what else that means i mean trump will be convicted i don't see a scenario in which trump is acquitted by by these liberal juries i don't either but i would think you would wait until conviction before you expel which is yeah which is why i think many of us were trying to save him you know but we know jamal bowman intentionally pulled the fire alarm we know he lied about it he's on camera pulling the warning signs off the door or he flicks one onto the floor and then pulls the alarm and runs away he didn't try to open the door he's he lied and i'm surprised that you can
Starting point is 00:24:50 have a member of congress commit a crime on camera caught doing it to subvert the political process and this is it yeah he slapped on the wrist yeah if it was like at four in the morning and he was pranking people that would be different than if he's doing it during a still a crime yeah but now he's doing it during a congressional proceeding to try and delay the proceeding like that's insidious well i don't know his intent i assume it's to delay the proceeding but did it delay a proceeding i don't know that it delayed the proceeding and i i heard that's what his intent was i don't know exactly what his intent was but yeah that's what he did he said it was because he he was late and he needed to get out the door or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:27 And so he took the sign off the door that said emergency exit. Well, it's funny because a couple of my colleagues, Andy Biggs is in that same building, Congressman Biggs. And he went to that exit along with some other guys, saw that they had already cordoned it off. And so they just went around to a different inch you know a different exit um so it doesn't make a lot of sense that that he did what he did but i don't honestly i don't know why that surprises you tim i mean it's you know i mean it's congress man you know how many how many menendez has gold bars i mean mean, it's like the place is ripe with that type of stuff. I was hanging out at the local poker room last week, and someone asked, some guy said, I'll make a bet with an older guy, just out of the blue goes, I'll make a $20 bet with
Starting point is 00:26:18 all of you, that he goes, right now, the approval rating of Congress is 17%, but all the 80% of Congress will be reelected in 2024. And I explained to him, I was like, well, yeah, it's because we like our rep, we hate all yours. So Congress is going to have a low approval rating. Yeah. But it is funny considering nobody likes Congress. Yeah. Just approval rating in the gutter. Everybody views it as corrupt.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I don't like it either. How many, I think I was talking to Matt Gaetz, and he said there's like, what number did he give? 10 or 12 good members of Congress or something like that? Yeah. It's something like that, man. It's pretty small. Maybe it's more.
Starting point is 00:27:02 It's pretty small. How do you be considered good in congress because like obstructing kind of is your job but if if you obstruct too much then are you considered a bad guy yeah thomas massey kind of gets that from yeah i'm definitely i definitely fall under that um i would say that that label if you will but you're right it is tough because you you don't want to obstruct to the point where you can't get anything done. But at the same time, pick a topic, whether you're talking about the border, whether you're talking about the national debt, $33 trillion plus in debt, $2 trillion annual deficit. And what we do under Republican control in this Congress, we
Starting point is 00:27:44 made a deal with joe biden an additional four trillion dollars to the national debt and so it's like it doesn't really matter what topic you pick i i think that we're failing and you know so if you're obstructing that that type of failure and in in my opinion you know i think we're in idiocracy right you've 100 the movie yeah yeah of course they're watering the crops with mountain dew uh with with with uh basically gatorade yeah he's like glyphosate to be honest is this gatorade yeah uh that was was it luke wilson it's what great it's what plants crave plants crave right and uh he's basically salting the earth but i feel like we're actually in that and the reason why is i i look at jamal
Starting point is 00:28:25 bowman and i'm like what a scumbag and this is why everything's broken this is why everybody hates congress this is why nothing's getting fixed this is why we're having all these problems well i should say it is a component of i think we have cultural issues yeah but i i look at so many of these members of congress and it's it's crazy to me that Jamal Bowman pulled the fire alarm. Jamie Raskin falsely accused me of advocating for January 6th in the J6 hearings because I reported on a Fox News story that Donald Trump called for protests on January 6th. So before January 6th happens, I'm reading a news story from Fox News where I'm like, wow, Trump's calling for a protest. That's going to get crazy.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Like things would get crazy down there if Trump calls for this. He runs clips of me out of context, included in a montage of people screaming, kick the door and things like this. That guy's 20 minutes from here. Raskin. People who work at this company, he represents them. These people, I just look at them all they are it is the dregs of humanity yeah scum lying cheating stealing without a care for anybody else they don't want to make anyone's life better they want to make
Starting point is 00:29:37 their own lives better they want to watch you know what they are they are the people stealing the fine china from the titanic knowing the iceberg hit but they're going to get to they're going to run to the the emergency rafts before anybody finds out the emergency boats yeah i often use that same analogy i mean there's a lot of problems with congress but i think it is important that we always remember that like andrew breitbart said a long time ago he said that politics is always downstream of culture yep so you never even you don't see things get to the halls of Congress until they've been permeating in culture for a decade, you know, five years at
Starting point is 00:30:09 a minimum. Speeding up though. Oh, it is, it is. But, and that's, that's how I feel a lot of time because, you know, you'll sit there and you'll just watch, you know, good amendment or this good bill go down and you're like, what the hell is going on here? And I think to your point, Tim, it is, there, there is a certain level of that. like, hey, this thing is going down. I'm going to get mine on the way off, right? Yep. I 100% believe that there are folks up there that that's their mentality. I think it's most of them. I got the vibe that there's too many people for the representatives to represent. How many people are in your- So most so most yeah most reps rep about 750 000 people and it's like i mean i represent myself i can't really even represent tim properly if i tried because i don't i'm not tim so like the
Starting point is 00:30:56 idea that back in the day the least worst thing we could do is send some brilliant guy to go represent the 7 000 of us and hopefully he's going to know what we're what we all kind of need and want in our community but now that we didn't it's it's so un unrepresentative of the humans because there's such a diverse desire and belief within systems like i've had this idea like what if we just everyone gets the bet has gets like the power of the house of representatives now we all can work from home we can all can write legislation and pass it onto a system where we can all read it and it just doesn't do anything after 30 days we can all vote on it to pass it into the senate but we'd still vote for you guys that if the power goes out you go to the place to do it for us until the power comes back on then we all get back to work i think it's a bad idea and i
Starting point is 00:31:36 don't think it makes sense what do you think about eli you know i like honestly i i like that we have a constitutional republic what i don't like is like you guys hear about the fourth branch of government all the time, the administrative state, the bureaucracy. Right. If you think about it, there's a bunch of unelected bureaucrats that are in D.C. full time. They look at a guy like me who comes in there and tries to, you know, shake things up a little bit. And they're just like, we can just wait this guy out. You know, he has to get reelected every two years. And by the time he gets the documents
Starting point is 00:32:10 that we're stonewalling him on, right? You know, it's so far into the future that people are like, oh, move on. That's in the past. And so, you know, I do like the fact that we have a constitutional republic, you know, but there, you know but there you know our system has problems like everybody else and i think right now the administrative state is one of our biggest
Starting point is 00:32:30 problems i think one of the biggest mistakes we made was the 17th amendment so i think we should repeal that that is the uh senators by popular vote i think that senators should have always been chosen by the state legislatures to represent the state to the federal government so the the the kathy hochul when um santos was actually on the day he was he was uh removed or whatever they voted for it kathy hochul said that she was going to replace uh what's his name and she obviously doesn't have the power to do it no and it's part of the reason why she assumed that she did is because she doesn't have a fundamental deep understanding of our governmental structure she is the executive of the state of new york that's why and what the error that she made is she was was thinking that she should be sending the person selecting to represent the
Starting point is 00:33:23 the represent the people for Congress. But she would select the senator because the senator is supposed to represent the state. Because she misunderstands how the structure of government works, that's why she made that error. That's why she said, oh, I'll select for the House. The people obviously have to select who is going to represent them in the Congress. And she would. Oh, we just we just lost Phil. Serge is doing some deep, deep.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Yeah, we're trying to. So I'll just I'll just pick it up from there. The general idea with the 17th Amendment was that it was there was corruption, that state legislatures were just picking their buddies and we can't have that and that's a mistake because now nobody cares and knows who their state senators are and who their state reps are and that's substantially more important for everything because if this country was unified culturally to a certain degree where everybody was paying attention to their state reps and legislatures you could get a convention of states you could actually have the states just be like,
Starting point is 00:34:26 no, we're changing things. We're done with Congress. We're done with the Senate. You're not getting anything done. And then there's other ways to do it too, amending the Constitution through Congress and through the Senate. But we don't have any of that right now.
Starting point is 00:34:38 And I think you need it. So I look at this idea that you're talking about, Ian, and it's a huge mistake. And it's for exactly what you were saying you it could take you years to get the documents you need and you're fighting re-election every two years and if you can maintain that you can get these documents you in sitting in your room waiting for a bill and thinking you want to pass it bro we are going to get people who are going to who are going to think the polar bears are dying and so they're going to vote to build a polar bear sanctuary. It's like the Simpsons when they built the Bear Patrol.
Starting point is 00:35:08 You guys remember Bear Patrol? One bear wanders into Springfield one time. And so they're like, okay, everyone's panicking. They all voted for a referendum for the Bear Patrol. And so then Homer looks at his paycheck a week later and he sees a bear tax. And they've got like planes flying around. That's the problem with people who i think that's why we have a constitutional republic with representatives we we select
Starting point is 00:35:29 the person we think is the best for the job to do the job like any other job and then we trust they do the job well and if they don't we fire it could be that the representatives maintain their authority and ability to like request documents but that we just as citizens gain an ability to also produce legislation that we can vote on together. Cause like, I feel kind of helpless a lot of times looking at Congress and being like, I have no, all I can do is convince people to go convince someone to do something.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Have you ever actually like written your congressperson? Cause that's the first step. No, I would make videos and be like, call them now, call them at two o'clock, everyone coordinate, make a phone and just overload them with phone calls i'll do that kind of thing with the internet video but i never actually did it myself because i think i mean the the you're never gonna i don't think anyone's ever gonna feel like the direct power of being able to say or very few people are gonna be able to say
Starting point is 00:36:18 hey i want this to happen and then it happens right like that's not like even the president doesn't doesn't have that authority over everything like i i don't want a bunch of people voting on how to fix my toilet no not at all i don't want to break voting on anything no my toilet breaks and then we're like okay everybody we're gonna we got a broken toilet so let's put it on the internet and everybody all around gets to vote on how we fix the toilet no i want to hire a plumber who's the best of the job yeah but what maybe i'm misrepresenting what i what i'm thinking i just like is if you could make a bill and be like this bill gets funds for a better process of toilet repair what do you guys all think and it's like a tinder where people like i'll swipe right on that one i'm swiping left yeah yeah right right that's that's that's like suggesting the
Starting point is 00:36:58 community vote on how to fix my toilet but then well we would just vote on on a bill that we could send to the senate and then the senate would be like that's idiotic no and they shoot us down if it's terrible so so you're basically just saying you want to eliminate congress oh i'm sorry eliminate the house i kind of want a legitimate fourth branch of government i'm just i don't think the representatives can handle the load it's too many people that they're unrepresented the problem that you're articulating isn't that there are too many it's not that they can't handle the load it's that the load that's being put on the on the government is too great for the structure of government so our government is not supposed to be in the daily working of your
Starting point is 00:37:38 life the federal government at least right so like the fact that we have like the fact that there was ever a question about who goes into which bathroom that was at a federal level is exemplary of or exemplifies exactly what our problem is. We don't need the federal government to make every decision for us. You don't even need the state governments to do it, honestly. But that's where kind of that's kind of how society's knee-jerk reaction is becoming i think really like no i'm you're right on that point i think that's a big part of the problem it's like people have we you've you've got i think generations of people who have been raised to think that federal government is the solution and it's not it's usually the problem and i don't think our founders wanted i think our founders i know they wanted limited government because they've seen what it can do right and so you know i think that's that's what some folks in
Starting point is 00:38:31 dc right now are trying to do um you know it's why we fought so hard to change out our leadership this year because we we just continued to head head down the same path that we were on and you know like the fight we got back into january i know you guys had matt on your show and you you've had him in the past i mean that that fight hadn't happened what happened in january hadn't happened in over 100 years it was kevin mccarthy yeah well let me let me pull this story up i want to i got some questions for you wait that wasn't we got this from we have the story from abc news kevin mccarthy resigning from congress after being ousted to house speaker so the the story came out yesterday at the end of the month he will resign he says i've decided to
Starting point is 00:39:11 depart the house at the end of this year to serve america in new ways this is really funny because uh there was a tweet it was a video of uh i was a tweet from him saying i will not quit and it is now community noted on twitter saying he just quit brutal so uh here's the funny thing this came out last night nobody cared yeah yeah nobody nobody cared that uh former speaker just announced his resignation but uh i think what matt gates did was fantastic i'm curious uh your thoughts uh rep corinne on what went down and uh whether you think this is all good yeah i mean obviously matt deserves a lot of credit matt would you, took, I think took the brunt of that for sure. But there were eight of us, right?
Starting point is 00:39:50 There were eight Republicans that moved against our own speaker. And so for sure, I think that it was a good idea because I was one of them. Right. And the reason, the reason guys, like I, like I said, is because I didn't get into, I didn't get into this. I don't leave my family three weeks out of the month with my two young daughters because I like Washington, D.C., or I like putting on a suit, or I ever wanted to be called a congressman, right?
Starting point is 00:40:14 I'm terrified with what my kids are going to be left with. And I look at the trajectory we're on, and it's not sustainable. This house of cards is going to collapse. And most people up there don't take it seriously it's it's it's weird man it's dystopian there's there's there's two trains of thought on that i think everybody agrees the house of cards is going to collapse yeah and then you've got some republicans who are like guys let's try and fix this yep and then you've got i'd say most republicans and democrats being like how much can we loot from the coffers before the before the
Starting point is 00:40:44 cards come crashing down yeah we and we call it the uniparty up there, right? Anytime something serious needs to get moved, the uniparty moves in lockstep and it is Republicans and Democrats. People get pissed at me. Republicans get pissed at me all the time. I'll get calls from donors or why is Eli, why are you attacking Republicans you attacking republicans you know you need to be attacked you need to be fighting against democrats that's just one layer to the fight it is an important layer to the fight but it goes it goes a lot deeper than that and if we don't if we don't acknowledge the own you know the own stink the own you know our own problems within our own party this thing's never gonna get it get, it's never going to get fixed. And, you know, it's like, I'm just glad that there are, there are people up there who I've seen even in this last Congress, the 118th Congress, who repeatedly are willing to throw
Starting point is 00:41:36 caution to the wind, put their political career on the chopping block and be like, hey, let's go, let's do something that's never been done and let's buck the system. And so, you know, I don't know where that leads, Tim. I'm not a super optimistic guy. My faith isn't in the federal government for good reason. But, you know, I do think it's important. I mean, Matt was talking about this billion dollar IOU machine that Kevin McCarthy builds up where he goes, all these donors basically get,
Starting point is 00:42:02 hey, we're going to give money to your PAC. We're going to help you get reelecteded you're gonna control uh basically the republican party and in the house and then when he gets ousted all those ious become toilet paper so you know this this machine of favors in dc gets shattered i got to imagine kevin mccarthy was sweating bullets the whole time because he's not going to be able to pay back any of these favors he's an indentured servant for the rest of his life yeah i honestly don't know and like you know here's the thing like if you if you met kevin and you hung out with him and you didn't know he was the speaker of the house you'd probably be like this guy's pretty cool like i'd have a beer with him you know and uh but that being said when you look at when you look at what was going on and when you
Starting point is 00:42:43 look at how he was leading the the party there there was no desire to change course at all. I've heard from too many people that he backstabbed their campaigns, that there were populists, America first, there were Trump supporting. For sure. And anybody in that, I shouldn't say anybody, but most people in that spot would use their power and influence to back candidates that are going to fall in line and do what you're told. And, you know, it's like, that's one of the biggest knock. I'm a military guy. That's one of the biggest knocks on military guys. I remember when I started going up to D.C., Tim, some of the older Republicans looked at me and they're like, you know, Eli, you military guys get up here and you, you don't really fight too hard. You know, you kind of just fall in line and do what you're told. And I said, I know. Um, but that's when you look at your chain of command
Starting point is 00:43:34 as the people back home, the 750,000 people that sent you there, it's, it's, you know, it's, it's different than seeing the Republican party or the democrat party as your new chain of command right and that's the problem with too many politicians they see they see their party as their chain of command and they just fall in lockstep and they do what they're told how's uh life with mike johnson the new speaker how's it been i mean honestly we're not it's it's not it's really not uh that much different in that we're still pretty much on the same trajectory, maybe a couple of degrees off. And I think that most of us that were involved in ousting Kevin with the motion to vacate believe that that's how it was going to be just because whoever speaker is really a representative of the party and the party is not conservative it's just not
Starting point is 00:44:26 you know um that being said you know he has done a couple he has done a couple good things and so like when he released some of the january 6 tapes i think that was a good that was a good thing i think you know he's serious about moving forward with you know this biden you know impeachment that's a good thing but he's shown with you know the cr the continuing resolution that funds the government at the same levels and even right now with the ndaa and pfizer that you know we're probably going to continue to go on on the same path with some of those things is it because if he just was like i'm going to make a bill of getting rid of the cr that everyone in the party be like then no one's gonna vote for it dude so yeah so what they do you know what they do is they scare
Starting point is 00:45:09 they scare anybody that gets into leadership right like in the intelligence community right now is telling mike johnson hey if you let if you let fisa lapse or you you reform it and and fisa goes down for even a little while and you have now, who's out there saying that we have more terrorist threats than we ever have before? Christopher Wray, right? So Mike's making these decisions. The intelligence community is scaring the snot out of him saying, hey, man, if you let FISA lapse and there's a terrorist attack, the blood's on your hands. And that's what they do constantly up there it's it's constantly like if you try and change things whether it's with spending or a government shutdown or you know making adjustments or reforming visa they have a way to scare you back into into line but i think
Starting point is 00:45:57 they're gonna they're not only they're gonna blame you but they're gonna go ahead and they're gonna accuse you of trying to make it so that these things can happen no i think it's worse than that you're probably right i think it's worse than that when uh when when was it chuck schumer said that the intelligence agencies have six waves from sunday from coming after you donald trump and then they accused trump of being a soviet spy like no i'm not no soviet literally from the 80s yeah the guy the guy jonathan chate goes on msnbc yep and says trump may have been an asset of the Russians since the 80s. They do multiple impeachments. They do criminal charges.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Everything you see them throwing at Trump. I don't think they go to Mike Johnson and they say, look, we got security issues. Don't let us down. I think they sit down at the desk and they say, how's it going? How's the family? I got something for you. And they pull out a picture of JFK and they slide it across the table and say, how you doing? Yeah. Can you imagine that?
Starting point is 00:46:46 Like, literally, all they have to do is slide a picture of JFK. If someone from CIA shows up at your house and they slide a picture of JFK across the table, you'd say, how you doing? Like, everyone's sweating. Everyone starts sweating. They slide a picture of JFK. That's it. They don't got to say anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:04 It's the implication. Right. And I'm not saying the implication is true. I'm just saying, you know, it says a lot. So the intelligence, when you say the intelligence, how'd you phrase it? The intelligence network. Community. Community.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Is that who's running our government? Well, I don't think it's that simplistic. I think it's a mixed, it's a mixed bag, right? There's a lot, there's a lot of different influences on the government, right? You also have your lobbyists, your special interest groups, right? You have outside global influences that are obviously affecting our government as well. I mean, it's not as simplistic as one entity basically running our government. What is a special interest?
Starting point is 00:47:46 I hear this stupid word. Locking Martin. So it's just a business, a corporation? Oh, absolutely. What about the pharmaceutical industry? Greenpeace. So special interest is like a way to spin it to make it special.
Starting point is 00:47:57 No, no, no. It's especially interesting. No, no, no. Special interest is an umbrella term for a variety of organizations that want a specific goal to be met. So Greenpeace is a special interest. Oh, they're not colluding.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Well, you say colluding, but they want the same goal. No, no, no, no. Lockheed Martin is a special interest group. They lobby on behalf of themselves. Greenpeace is a special interest group. They lobby on behalf of themselves. No one's going to sit there and be like, the problem we have is let me pull out 18,000 pages of every single organization ever that's lobbying the government so they say lobby special interest groups powerful organizations from the private and public sector and non-profits that are lobbying government to make things happen
Starting point is 00:48:33 some are more powerful than others and then if they say it's a lobbyist that could be just a guy but if it's a special interest group it's a lobbyist the lobbyist would be the individual that's actually trying to get the politician to do whatever it is that the special interest group wants. The group is the special interest, the lobbyist is the individual. Yeah. And to be fair, I mean, there are good lobbyists, right, that are lobbying for good things. But oftentimes, you know, it ventures into corruption and, you know, seeking things that are so front side focus on just taking care of one industry. Front side focus.
Starting point is 00:49:08 There you go. Ian, you've got my firearms guy got it over here. And I will, and I will do it again. So when you talk to someone who's in Congress and you're like, you got to get graphene. I was about to say that. We were talking about the house of cards. We need a graphene lattice to reinforce the network. So here's Ian lobbying Congress.
Starting point is 00:49:24 It's carbon. It's carbon powder. basically uh you make it from any kind of carbon and they figured he's already on the graph you get like plastic trash and hit it with 7 000 degree electricity too far ahead okay it's like it's like 21st century steel it's going to be the next big building material it's it's it's a one-dimensional sheet of carbon hexagonally lattice which has amazing properties when manipulated so what can it's a one-dimensional sheet of carbon hexagonally latticed which has amazing properties when manipulated so what can it's a superconductor yes and uh capacitor you can use it as like a touchscreen battery wallpaper um they put it in in car well i'll give you the real simple so he's obsessed with this stuff but the reason i brought it up was to make the point that lobbying a lot
Starting point is 00:50:00 of people have this view of lobbying as this like prestigious thing and it's like dude it literally means you argued to a member of congress yeah they used to stand in the lobby literally that's why they were right right after and then when they came out of the proceeding they'd be like hey for the sake of ian's graphene uh one thing they started doing is they put it in batteries okay and so what that does is when you're charging a battery the graphene carries the charge evenly across the battery so it charges rapidly so uh i think the newer cell phones that come out could could charge to full in like 10 minutes well so you can you can buy these graphene polymer batteries you ever get one of those mobile batteries you buy at the
Starting point is 00:50:33 walgreens whatever plug your phone in yeah they now they now have graphene uh lithium batteries that you can charge that battery pack in 15 minutes and it'll give your phone two hours of charge wow you can put it in concrete and it'll make it three times stronger you can put it in like this is just bulk graphene where you just shatter it into powder you can also make sheets of it like tim was talking about they can use as electronics and this is more complicated to produce at the moment and this is literally lobbying but what i really want to sell you on is hydrogen fuel right here we go because if we if we want to reinforce that house of cards we need a new gdp model and it's i think it's based on hydrogen.
Starting point is 00:51:05 Fortunately, you can turn the oil into graphene so we don't have to upend the oil industry. Maybe. I don't know. I think fusion energy is promising. All of it. We've reached ignition. Now we've got to capture that energy. And nuclear.
Starting point is 00:51:15 But out of rice, they're making hydrogen fuel like crazy right now with carbon trash. They'll hit it with a laser. They produce a kilogram of hydrogen fuel. And then they have $4.50 left over of this stuff. So it's actually profitable to create the hydrogen well let's let's let's jump to this story so we can get uh get into what happened last night with the gop debates vivek ramaswamy i love this one defends debunked conspiracy theories he shared a republican debate he elevated false or groundless claims about january 6 u.s demographic changes here's the
Starting point is 00:51:42 crazy thing this is what really really bothers me these guys who work for abc news i assume they're either uh really really stupid or intentionally lying january 6 definitively without question provably and adjudicated as such is an inside job next question and and i'll clarify now because i know i tried to hammer that one really really hard several individuals had already have have been acquitted because the judge outright said police welcomed them in there's video of police opening the doors and letting people in the response we've gotten is oh well you got to understand why they did it okay explain to me why the q shaman was given a guided tour. They walk to a door, try to open it.
Starting point is 00:52:27 It doesn't open. Then they bring him. They bring the guy to the Senate chambers. The argument is they were overwhelmed. They had no choice. They just gave in. Like the cop who took a selfie. There's more than one cop who took selfies with people.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Opened these doors. There are doors that are mag sealed. You know this better than i do that they're mag locked you can't just open them right someone has to deactivate the electric current to open the door somebody did this alexandria ocasio-cortez was actually one of the first i'm probably not one of the first but of democrats she actually said and this is like a year and a half ago there were police officers who are fanning people in moving barricades opening doors and she wants answers i'm like i completely agree these those are those are facts
Starting point is 00:53:08 so i'll say it this way the media is claiming ramaswami statements were debunked the vague said it now looks like it may have been inside an inside job here's the game they're playing they're conflating inside job with joe biden was involved or nancy pel Biden was involved or Nancy Pelosi was involved. Here's how I'll put it for you. A thousand people work at a bank. One day the bank gets robbed. Two guys who worked there opened the doors for the robbers who then made off. That's called an inside job.
Starting point is 00:53:37 The degree to which the guys were involved, who knows? They may have gotten a phone call and they said, hey, look, we're going to slip you a hundred dollar bill. Just open the door for us. And they're like, sure, I guess. I don't even know what's going on. Still an inside job. Inside job refers to someone on the inside facilitated what happened. So while you have people fighting with cops on one side, you have cops opening other doors and letting people in.
Starting point is 00:53:57 He also and he also talked about great replacement. And this is what really got people all riled up is that he basically said it was policy for democrats so uh instead of getting ahead of myself i want to we'll stick it to the we'll stick to the january 6th first and then we'll get into the other other portion the vague said why am i the only person on the stage at least who can say that january 6th now does look like it was an inside job They say that baseless idea has become popular among fringes on the far right and social media, at times even winning support from lawmakers, including Senator Mike Lee, who last month claimed without evidence that there were undercover federal agents disguised in the crowd during the rioting at the U.S. Capitol as Congress had gathered to certify
Starting point is 00:54:41 Trump's election defeat. Well, I'm curious your thoughts on all this. I don't know if there were federal agents. I've heard that claimed. I don't know if you know anything about it. Yeah, I do believe there were federal agents as well. And I believe we had Christopher Wray and a Homeland Security Committee here, I think, two weeks ago. And when asked that question, he basically gave the tagline, you know, I'm not going to comment on any, you know, um, any operation, any investigate ongoing investigation type type deal. I, I actually asked one of the questions I asked him, uh, was, Hey, why hasn't
Starting point is 00:55:17 the pipe bomber been caught? Right. I found that fascinating that, and the way I kind of the way I posed the question to him was, so do you, how many, how many people did you guys arrest at January 6th? And it was, I don't know, hundreds and hundreds of people, right? The one, the one guy that could have, you know, basically created multiple mass casualty events with his pipe bombs, meaning killed or injured you know you know dozens and dozens of people um you know just the fbi can't find that guy and i just it just it's wild because dc is one of dc is one of the most heavily fortified defended um and recorded cities you know um in the entire country and so you're telling me that you know and maybe this maybe this is you know too conspiratorial for somebody just strikes me as odd that
Starting point is 00:56:12 that this guy he couldn't um he was so proficient that he's able to avoid the most proficient law organization in the world yet he couldn't get his pipe bombs to go off. Right. And, or people are arguing, oh, well, they got them before, you know, they got the pipe bombs before they were, you know, set to go off. I just, I'm sorry, man, I don't buy that this guy has been avoiding, you know, the FBI. I also, when I look at guys like Ray Epps, the fact that Ray Epps was in the crowd, he was seen multiple times he's caught on camera multiple times telling people we got to go into the building we got to we got to go into the Capitol and years into this he's not arrested even though you know guys on like Revolver News you know the guys at Revolver continually reporting on this stuff it just stinks to
Starting point is 00:57:01 high heaven and then you got that right on the back end of the Michigan deal with Gretchen Whitmer. I think the FBI needs to be reeled in and it's why many of us tried to deny them the ability to get their new FBI headquarters probably about a month and a half ago. And once again, the Uniparty moved in lockstep to give them their new i think it was like 300 million dollar building in dc no it's not going to be in dc i can't remember where it is it is uh it's amazing to me that they are able to um track down a garage pull rope remember that one yeah the uh who was that guy that bob bubba wallace or bubba yeah yeah it was a garage pull rope i can't remember his name it was a dozen agents so last year we were uh swatted we had uh we we had um i don't
Starting point is 00:57:52 like using the phrase swatted because people don't understand what that means let's just say uh swatting like events 15 times and i'll clarify a couple of them were fake bombings. And so this ranges from, I think it was like four or five. Two of them were physical devices. I shouldn't say devices, were physical objects that were sent here. And I've only somewhat disclosed this before. And so they sent a robot out. They got this, they have this device. It's like, I don't know if it's an x-ray or whatever.
Starting point is 00:58:26 But they try and blast the box to see what's inside of it. And whoever did this knew the capabilities of law enforcement and obstructed the view of the device that seeks to look inside the box externally. They put a panel behind it, like a reflective panel, and they blast it with an x-ray or-rays or something and they said we can't get in so we're bringing the robots in we also had to we were forced to evacuate the building for three hours and the stream went live to like 50 000 people for three hours of the debt nothing in the room they never they never caught these guys we've been we've had uh police sent here on numerous fake calls some were actual humans human voice some were uh robotic and they never catch these guys but pull rope and even even after we submitted a bunch of evidence and told them like guys like this information may like we've we've got evidence they just said we
Starting point is 00:59:18 don't care at all well if you were at a if you were a concerned parent at a school board meeting, Tim, I bet your issue would be resolved, man. You mean if you were a liberal parent concerned about conservatives complaining, your issue would be resolved. Yep. This pipe bomb thing at the Capitol is always kind of fascinating to me in that it hasn't been talked about that much. I heard about it. Was there actual – did they produce the pipe bombs? Was there evidence that – did they show them and be like these are what we found and then like show evidence that it was they were legitimately found was there any evidence of them like recording
Starting point is 00:59:53 finding them or any of that yeah there there's there's video footage of them you know i think retrieving the pipe bombs but because it adds it heightens the the danger of the day knowing that there were bombs of course placed so that it wouldn't i mean it doesn't it wouldn't surprise me if people came out later like yeah you know we did that to intensify the the fear so that we could shut it down quicker like i think a lot of this is like let's just get it put i mean if you told me they had no fbi agents and in the crowd that day i'd be kind of disappointed with the fbi you're gonna do a riot on the capitol and you don't have fbi agents out there like looking at stuff you get your get your agents on the field i mean let's let's address them like let's just
Starting point is 01:00:34 say they were caught off guard and there's a bunch of there's there's 250 000 trump supporters marching around the feds had no one no that that's a that's an absurdity i'm sorry they knew well in advance yo i'm some dude who just complains on the internet and i read a fox news story that trump was calling for protests i was like wow that's gonna be crazy yeah media matters ran a hit piece on me claiming that i had foreign knowledge because i said something in november where i was like yo these proud boys and three percenters or whatever gonna like store are gonna rush to dc and like storm the white house or something like they're not going to accept a trump defeat literally didn't happen didn't happen in november it was january way later i had no idea it was speculation based
Starting point is 01:01:11 on news reports if i can speculate that you mean the fbi didn't actually have any plan for security or undercover uh agents to be there that's the one yes i'm thinking about ray epps because when that was the one thing when i first was like like a lightning bolt like what the when he was screaming for people to go to the building go in the building yeah and then he didn't get arrested i was like what in the hell like at least arrest him and do like a dog and pony show to make it look like he was one of the bad guys can i just point this out isn't it crazy that this is a story from the new york post isn't it crazy that it was march of 2023 two years more than two years later we got the footage showing capital collapse capital cops escorting the q anon shaman to the senate floor how was that not disclosed immediately especially
Starting point is 01:01:56 considering that they're locking they locked this guy up or they were at the time they were about to lock him up you see this video where they're actually walking him to the doors and opening the doors for him yeah he's i'm sorry that's an inside job yeah and it's like maybe they didn't want a prolonged siege of the building they didn't want all the windows to get broken out so like just get it over with get in here but that they're arresting him for trespassing he's like dude there's a video where a cop walks in he's like can you guys please leave and i think it's the shaman he's like we'll take care of it we'll be nice you know they let him in in the first place if he was if he was being that nice they didn't even need to open the door for him they could have been like buddy not you got to go and
Starting point is 01:02:30 he would have been like okay the dude's bumbling around and they're guiding him to these places i just did a show with with michael malice and jacob chansley the guy we're talking about so he's out of jail i don't know what his what happened did he serve the full sentence i was trying to look up i asked't know what his what happened did he serve the full sentence i was trying to look up i asked him if it was what solitary was like it was let's let's let's do this let's talk about the other component of uh what vivek ramaswamy said that's triggering all of these people in media and that is uh what do they say false u.s demographic changes so they go on to bring up the great replacement theory i love how they do this abc news says ramaswamy also
Starting point is 01:03:04 boosted the great replacement theory the I love how they do this. ABC News says Ramaswamy also boosted the great replacement theory. The white nationalist belief that immigration policies are designed specifically to dilute the political power of white Americans by making them a smaller share of the population. The idea has been elevated by media figures like Tucker Carlson and inspired mass violence in 2015 Charleston, South Carolina church massacre and in the 2019 shooting at Walmart, Ramaswamy alleged during the debate that the theory is not some grand right wing conspiracy theory, but a basic statement of the Democratic Party platform. How about I just play this video of Van Jones for you and we'll start breaking this down. The asking the white majority to do something is difficult. And I think it'd be easier if we just acknowledge that it's difficult. No ethnic majority group in 10,000 years of human history that I could find ever went from being a majority to being a minority and liked it. And that's basically the request from the racial justice left, is that we want the white majority to go from being a majority to being a minority and like it.
Starting point is 01:04:07 That's a tough request and the reality is that change is hard change that you want is hard change that is good is hard so the racial justice left according to him is asking the white majority to go from being a majority to a minority there's only two ways that happens one mass migration and white people not having kids if they're asking white people to do this they are outright saying we want a policy of mass migration and we don't want you to have kids there's a third way it's genocide well right right right i suppose you know in my context i'm talking about legal what's currently going on right now in this country it's clearly there are two peaceful ways to do it but we have this with this great article from newsweek democrats are massive hypocrites on
Starting point is 01:04:48 so-called great replacement theory and this is by pedro gonzalez from 2022 in newsweek where he breaks down statements from joe biden and many other democrats where they're outright basically saying this they're outright saying it uh he says the mass shooting in buffalo new york was an atrocity the killer will pay for his life. The suspect left behind a 180 page document outlining a schizophrenic worldview. We get that. Biden and the company latched onto it. But here's the problem.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Democrats and progressive activists, based on their own rhetoric over the years, subscribe to replacement theory more than anyone else. As Vice President Biden himself said that a constant and unrelenting stream of immigration would reduce americans of white european stock to an absolute minority and that was a source of our strength i'm not going to go through the whole article because pedro actually brings up a ton of other excellent examples but i think right there when you have joe biden who is now the president saying a source of our strength is an unrelenting stream of immigration reducing white americans to a
Starting point is 01:05:45 minority yeah i'm gonna go ahead and say like uh the vague's not wrong well he took three quotes out of context and stuffed them all together into one sentence so i i would like to see i'm not saying joe biden's not a racist but i would like to see the full context of those those statements and also now when we talk about great replacement i think it should be repurposed to be like you know we're not it's not designed to specifically dilute the power of the white Americans. It's designed to dilute the power of citizens, of the American citizens. That's what's happening. That's the problem.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Yeah, I think it is bigger. I think it is bigger in many ways. But I also think this, I mean, this has all the hallmarks of cultural Marxism, right? There you go cultural marxism is designed to topple the cultural hegemony or whoever is perceived to be at the top you know it's interesting i started studying this a couple years ago there's a you know a pastor named dr vody bockham he's a big black dude that looks like he could play he was a he was a football player on the rise and then he became a pastor and he does this phenomenal series and and sermon on cultural Marxism and how he went on CNN one time.
Starting point is 01:06:50 They invited him on after Obama took the White House, and he said that the anchor was basically asking Dr. Bauckham, hey, do you think that race relations in the U.S. are going to get better now that we have a black president? And Votie Bauckham said, no,s are going to get better now that we have a black president and um vody bockham said no i think they're going to get worse and it surprised the anchor and vody bockham went on to say it's going to get worse because um obama sat under a cultural marxist pastor named jeremiah wright for a very long time and if he goes back and he he he you he kind of gives a history lesson about cultural Marxism and how they tried Marxism to destroy the West, traditional Marxism, where you pit people against each other economically, right? You have the haves and the have-nots. Well, that didn't work here in the West because everybody was too prosperous. So what they do, they just reverse, they just made a slight change to the ingredients instead of dividing us all up on, you know, economic classes, we're just going to divide
Starting point is 01:07:50 them all up by race. And it's working tremendously. I mean, if you go and you look at how divided we are on race, you know, and it's just, to me, it's just disgusting. Like, but, you know, when I, when I listened to Van Jones right there, you know's saying about what I want for white people to go from being on top of things. What did he say, Tim? From being the majority to the minority. To be in the minority and to like it. That has, to me, all the hallmarks of cultural Marxism. The statement itself is not just an explanation of what they're doing,
Starting point is 01:08:28 but an attempt at incitement to trigger reactions, which they can then use to gain more power and take advantage of this. You have Van Jones outright saying the racial, I don't know if he's saying I, but he does say the racial justice left is asking white people to become a minority, which Ian does bring up there as a third way. in american politics there's mass migration and and birth control advocacy against having kids and things like this that's actively happening and so van jones saying that then gets people on the right people like vivek ramaswamy to be like hey this is the something democrats have espoused and then the media immediately comes out and says they're conspiracy
Starting point is 01:09:04 theorists and they're racist they're conspiracy theorists and they're racist. They're white nationalists and they're Nazis. Yeah. To Ian's point, though, I think it's even bigger than the replacement stuff. And I do think that's a part of it. But he said it's almost like they're trying to destroy it, right? I think they try and destroy this country
Starting point is 01:09:21 every way they possibly can because I don't think they like the country. I think that they want it changed. Yes. think that they they want a top-down totalitarian control they want it to you know be some utopia that has you know a little bit of socialism a little bit of communism in it and as long as we as long as americans feel free prosperous we we have a constitution we have the ability to defend ourselves we have freedom of speech all of that stands in their way and so i think that it's death by a thousand cuts and i think that that's why it just feels like we're living in bizarro land patrick bet david talks
Starting point is 01:09:57 a lot about uh choosing your enemies wisely which i think is fascinating because i'm like i don't have any enemies i don't want to have any enemies but i'm like who's my enemy thinking about today ccp i'm not sure i don't want my enemies to be you or like alexandria ocasio-cortez who represents the democratic party in a way that you know i find admirable in some ways at least it's youthful but like i don't want my enemies to be in our country but i and then i'm like am i just being xenophobic but do you think the ccp is is involved in in in this marxist obliteration of american culturalism wasn't do you think that the ccp the communist chinese party the uh that's as far as i'll go do you think that they're like the masterminds of this no no it's it doesn't take a person so like the it's an ideology so like
Starting point is 01:10:43 you know like if you go to a catholic mass right like if you go to catholic mass in the u.s and then one in you know in somewhere in south america they're going to be similar because catholicism has stuff that you are supposed to do to be catholic the leftist ideology that he outlines and i he's 100 right in my opinion um the leftist ideology that he outlines like there are there is a whole you know structure that that people follow so it doesn't matter that that you don't need a person that's top downing it right there they they believe in an ideology and so if you believe in the ideology you follow the tenets of the of the ideology and you don't need someone to one particular person to dictate to you because you do the things that marxists do you look at the
Starting point is 01:11:28 world through a marxist lens that just intensifies the value of the culture war like if it's if it's an in like an innate emergent phenomenon that's spreading like wildfire on the internet there needs to be a better wildfire it's not so much emergent it is it is people that believe it that are telling other people right now the the conduit has been basically the the um in the academy basically schools have been yeah academia like have you guys you guys have i'm sure watched the yuri bezman off videos oh yeah yeah yeah where he talks about um you know ideological subversion right he's like i mean if you watch these videos i mean what tim when do you think those were made like that no it was the 80s yeah the 80s this guy was in the u.s at this time um kgb defector
Starting point is 01:12:14 you know saying that you know you silly americans you think that you know the kgb we spent most of our resources on espionage james bond espionage because it's sexy and it's in the movies. He's like, no, only about maybe 15% of our budget went to that stuff, right? Most of it went to ideological subversion, putting people in your institutions, your culture, academia, and teaching this crap, these ideologies. And I think that's what you're seeing right now. But I think the, I've had this debate you're seeing right now but i i think the uh i've had this debate 800 000 times actually but i think the the actual issue was big tech and social media and it's not uh so much the universities i think i think the universities are a component
Starting point is 01:12:54 obviously because you see all these videos where someone sends their kids to college and their kid comes back angry shaved head you know weird tattoos and things like that face tattoos or whatever right but uh what we're seeing with the rise of uh cultural marx tattoos and things like that face tattoos or whatever right but uh what we're seeing with the rise of uh cultural marxism and things like this started around the world all around the same time which is more indicative of social media creating the phenomenon than anything else and there's actually a simple explanation so So the early social media algorithms favor anything that makes people angry. And so you had libertarians. And I think even like Paul Joseph Watson and like Alex Jones were posting police brutality videos because it only gets a hundred thousand views racist police brutality gets a million views so the algorithm started favoring content that pushed things like racism is bad homophobia is bad anything that would seem like an injustice and then you had the example i always cite is mike.com
Starting point is 01:13:59 which started off as like a ron paul libertarian website turned into a leftist social justice website because of social media algorithms. You write an article that's in favor of right libertarian anti-government. It does okay. You write a social justice piece. It's got racist, sexist, anti-gay in the title. Bang! It's getting a million views. So the company starts putting all their resources into hiring writers to write all that stuff. And then instantly around the world, you see this in the LexisNexis data, every country experiences, except for like Iran and North Korea, they have weird fluctuations. But almost every single country with access to the basic internet we do sees the same rise in racism, privilege, intersectionality, feminism, etc.
Starting point is 01:14:37 All rapidly happening at the exact same time. Yeah. When I started making internet videos in 06, I would make a video called like, we are all the same. And like, if you believe you are, then you are like that kind of mindset. It was, it was that mark is that weird post-modernist thing. And they would, they do really well. The videos would do really well with like, and the people that are watching them, I don't know all of them, but I think a lot of them were suffering in their lives.
Starting point is 01:14:59 So it sounded good to like, yes, we are all the same, but we're not, we're all similar, but we're not all the same. But that, that's, that just resonates so powerfully when you say something like that with confidence, especially if you're someone that people like that they aspire to be like. And so that I see why communism constantly cycles back around. It's like, we are all, we can all do this together until we get there. And then somebody has got to be in charge. Yeah. Like right back to the center. So I saw those videos online. online like should i take them down or should i leave them up i won't take them down but i think leave them up so people can watch my train of thought change over the decades and i think i i don't know where i learned it if i learned it in high school
Starting point is 01:15:35 like obsessive empathy too much compassion what it was i don't know where it came from man but it was just it was through me growing up we've got uh we got breaking news this actually uh broke about an hour ago but we'll get into it right now from abc special prosecutor files nine tax-related felony charges against hunter biden special counsel david david weiss has filed additional charges uh let me refresh to get the latest information the indictment uh the indictment prosecutors allege hunter biden engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least 1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for the years 2016 through 19 from in or from in or about january 2017 to october 15th 2020 and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he
Starting point is 01:16:24 filed false returns in or about February 2020. Is this how they bring down Joe Biden? I like Joe Biden. That's how they got taxes, how they got Al Capone. Right, but I'm not saying this right here is how they get Joe Biden. I'm saying this is in relation to. One by one, you get these death by a thousand cuts of Hunter Biden. And then eventually someone goes, hey, wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:16:44 One of these threads goes to joe and then joe embattled says look i'm gonna step down you know these allegations are false but that's you saw the msnbc clip where they they're they're interviewing joe biden they're asking questions like so what do you have to say about this these conversations you've had with hunters associates when you were lying. And he's like, it's not true. You're lying. You're all lies. You're all lying. You're all liars.
Starting point is 01:17:09 Dog face, pony soldiers. To answer your question, Tim. Yes. I think this is the track they're going after the Bidens now. And then maybe they'll use the same kind of tax crap to go after Trump. I don't know if they are,
Starting point is 01:17:19 they hit them on tax charges. Let me, let me, let's, let's pull up this clip. Cause it's kind of crazy to see. Here's a clip of a Joe Biden being questioned on MSNBC. Biden on Ukraine and also China.
Starting point is 01:17:29 There's polling by the Associated Press that shows that almost 70% of Americans, including 40% of Democrats, believe that you acted either illegally or unethically in regards to your family's business interests. Can you explain to Americans in this impeachment inquiry why you interacted with so many of your son and brothers foreign business associates? I'm not going to comment on that. I did not. And it's just a bunch
Starting point is 01:17:54 of lies. I did not. There's lies. I did not. I keep hearing Tommy Wiseau. 70%. 40% of democrats think he acted illegally that's msnbc saying this that's crazy i don't see how biden ends up the nominee i you know i don't either but at the same time because i know that you know they're all about that what what's their
Starting point is 01:18:21 goal their goal is power right so i i've always thought that he's the perfect front man for for what they're doing because as they destroy the country systematically they got the perfect fall guy out there the guy can't put together a sentence he falls constantly um they've got a ton of clearly a ton of dirt on him so he's got to do what they say and he wanted to he's wanted to be president forever so it's like why and when he's when he when when as the country collapses on his watch they can they can blame him you know so i think he's the perfect fall guy but i wouldn't be surprised to see the old bait and switch and see a guy like newsome get thrown in there either so we'll see what happens man but i wonder what the prediction markets have newsome at right now i'm gonna check actually i don't even know which ones were i don't
Starting point is 01:19:07 even know what what would be worse for the country honestly i think it's mr surrender afghanistan is probably worse he this guy surrendered the most powerful military on earth to the taliban and and 80 billion dollars worth of equipment he surrendered how many people died over there in that surrender 19 people died in the bomb that went off and and women throwing their babies trying to throw their babies over barbed wire to get them inside a military base the babies are getting caught in the wire like that's because of him he called he made that call to get rid of boggerm air force base air superiority and just left everybody in the lurch with the rushed surrender the most terrible military executive i've ever seen in power in the united states i agree but i don't you know a lot of people think biden's in charge or someone's
Starting point is 01:19:48 pulling the leash i'm kind of like no i think they're letting him flounder they're sitting back watching and just letting it roll out because like you said when it all comes crashing down they want to burn it down they want to replace it with something else they just blame biden and he's gone he's there he's there he's their patsy perfect fall guy but but you're right that is i mean it is scary it's it's one of afghanistan was definitely one of the uh you know big massive failures i i was in the seal teams for a little bit and uh and one of the things that scared me or concerned me when i was looking at the list of gear left behind was all the night vision goggles because you know as as when you're operating overseas a lot of times we would almost exclusively operate at night because we own the
Starting point is 01:20:33 night right but now that these guys have all that night vision equipment that's going to make it really difficult for any of our troops or any of our allies that are fighting at night and you know that definitely takes our superiority and our advantage down i don't know how like how many they actually left but you know that they're not staying in afghanistan either no it's getting into uh combat zones all over the world and like i mean anybody that's got you know played around with night vision it is a completely different thing to be able to see at night when the people that you're going after can't see it. No, look, I think most city people, there's a lot of people listening right now who are going to be like, nah, most city people don't know what nighttime is like. So in that famous story about LA, power goes out.
Starting point is 01:21:23 The police get a bunch of phone calls about something strange in the sky. It was the first time they'd seen the Milky Way. Yeah. So when the lights are all out and it's dark. So when we have a new moon out here where we're at, we have we have lights set up on the side of the driveway. We have motion lights, not just for us to be able to see, for security reasons too but uh i you you you walk down the driveway during a new moon it is pitch black yeah and and i'm like you're blind 100 you put on the night vision goggles we got and it is daylight yeah we also have daylight flashlights which are cool too though no it's it's true man it's one of the most surreal experiences that i've ever had walking through one of the you you know, very big cities, some of the most violent cities in the world. Um, but nobody's on the streets, but you and, you know, a couple of your buddies patrolling and it's, that's why it's because we have, we have that technology and they don't. And now you see it left behind like that. And it's just
Starting point is 01:22:22 like the first time you put them on and you could see satellites. It's crazy. Yeah. It's like the movie Step Brothers, right? Yeah. Were you in when they had, were they at Panos? Yeah. What's a Pano?
Starting point is 01:22:34 Or you mean the, are you talking about the Pinos? No, no. No, the four. No, I never had those. I always had the Binos. What are the Pinos? Binos are just two. Two or four.
Starting point is 01:22:43 Where's the other one you called them? Panos, there's four tubes yeah so you can actually see a wider range yeah so when when uh i first first time i ever used them was actually like two years ago whenever i bought a pair and you look at the sky and it's like there's a satellite it's insane shooting stars like they're up there happening right now and you just oh yeah oh no yeah you you're seeing them go shooting across when you're wearing those things it's it's nuts and then you're like walking around like i can see everything it's crazy how much are those how do we get those those are 42 000 oh wow how many
Starting point is 01:23:14 of those were left i don't know about that surrender do you know offhand roughly how he could he could google it right now i know it wasn't it wasn't 15 of them it was a thousand thousands and they probably they probably actually left BINOS. They probably didn't leave PANOS. PANOS are the really high expensive ones. He was on SEAL. That's why I asked, because the SEAL teams in Delta are the guys who get PANOS. Everyone else gets BINOS.
Starting point is 01:23:36 Plans, guns, and night vision. Yeah. I don't see how Afghanistan was an accident. You don't accidentally abandon your Air Force base in the middle of the night without telling your partners yeah yeah that that that one's tough to explain so what do you do in the military you served it with the seals like if your commander orders a surrender like abruptly that causes mass death and and loss of equipment life like what happens to that commander i guess it depends on who the leadership at the top is right the military you know i think for a long time has been i think for a long time
Starting point is 01:24:13 had been spared from a lot of the insanity of this culture but even over the last couple years you've seen you know it it you know infect the military as well like i just we we had a uh we had an air force admiral in homeland security i think this last week and he was talking about um some of their issues and one of their big issues was recruitment and i asked him do you think it has anything to do with the you know dei training do you think it has anything to do with you know drag shows on base you know that that type of stuff that never never really was in the military um and he's like no he and and he chalked it up to covet and i asked him well do you think it has anything to do with forcing uh our service members to take an experimental vaccine um and you know basically he
Starting point is 01:25:04 was he was like well you know i don't know about that and i was like do you because now the armed forces are actually offering these guys that didn't take the vaccine to come back in yeah right and they said oh and we'll we'll clear your record right after they forced them out many of them had families had to find a new job you know whatever and they didn't get on i don't believe they got honorable discharges, right? I think it was administrative, wasn't it? I don't remember. You might be right, Tim.
Starting point is 01:25:31 But, you know, I asked him, do you think that had anything to do with it? And he basically said, you know, I'm not, you know, I'm not able to comment on that. Who was that? It was some Air Force, or I'm sorry, not Air Force. It was the coast guard general discharge under honorable conditions okay so uh that that's what i guess is being
Starting point is 01:25:52 reported just so that admiral knows if you own up to the truth they'll be more likely to re-enlist yeah it was because they were forced to take a vaccine that they didn't trust and they quit because of it or they were discharged because of it and now they're being asked to come back like what have some humility guy adm Well, that's the problem. Like the military is one of the most dangerous jobs you can have. And if you don't have any faith that leadership's not going to sell you out, if you believe that your leadership will stab you in the back, you know, so they can continue to get promoted, how many people do you think are going to join? And that's the thing. It's like a lot of these young kids, I mean, and I think there's multiple
Starting point is 01:26:28 issues there, but a lot of these young kids don't trust the leadership that they just saw, you know, be in charge of the debacle in Afghanistan and that, you know, forced a bunch of our troops to get an experimental vaccine. And now that they can't recruit kids to come back in, you know, they're offering, Hey, to bring them back. I mean, it's just, it's a complete leadership disaster. What do you think would be a good incentive to get people back? Well, I think, I think an apology to start with would be really nice. And these, these guys taking ownership and be like, Hey, we screwed up. Okay. We screwed up. Secondly,
Starting point is 01:27:03 like my little brother, you know, when he was a cobra pilot in the marine corps he i think he was on his last year in the marine corps and was basically told you're getting the back you're getting the vaccine or you're out and so my little brother went to the naval academy like flew helicopters you know high performing guy actual actual officer officer, not worn up. Yeah. And he was an O and he lost his retirement because he wouldn't put that in his body. And so you got to take care of those. You got to take care of those guys.
Starting point is 01:27:34 And then you got to take care of the folks that are injured now because of the vaccine as well. And just make them feel like, hey, we got your back. Because if you don't got my back when it comes to you know this stuff right here you i don't i don't think you're gonna have my back when we're going to war against the ccp or we're going to war against iran and you know i'm i'm out there by myself and i need some air support and to the to the point that you were making earlier about the about cultural marxism and stuff that the goal of that kind of stuff is to
Starting point is 01:28:05 shake people's uh faith and and in the in the our system in the united states and so if you've got you know graduating class after graduating class after graduating class being churned out of high schools and colleges that have been taught that america is not really all that good america is not worth fighting for america is a bad force a force for evil in the world america is the the the villain on the global scale normally uh and generally that's the the the role that the u.s has had since the end of world war ii if that's what you've been taught why would you join the military to serve the cover the government right like there's no reason to i want to do like a mini segment real quick have you guys heard about what's going on with venezuela and guyana yeah no what's happening venezuela's declaring ownership
Starting point is 01:28:49 of the western portion of the nation of guyana and amassing its military and now guyana is requesting u.s aid to prevent the invasion it's over half of the country that they're making a claim to it's not just a small part socialists want stuff for free and and so part of the reason why they're doing this is because um exxon mobil was just doing uh explorations out off the ghana coast and so they want to go after after ghana's basically their guy on guyana's uh um ghana's on the other kind of yeah no my bad guyana and ghana and so they're going out so it's after the capitalists have done the exploring to find the oil reserves that you would only be able to find with tools provided or invented for capitalist uh exploration and now the socialists
Starting point is 01:29:37 like yo that's mine but you know give me that i just want to say like you've got middle eastern conflict you've got eastern european conflict you now have an escalating together was it you're tying it together yeah oh yeah now you got south american conflict and we're southeast asia is right on the horizon too and also it's on fire this would be a world war also with south with the stuff going on in south america there is the monroe doctrine that we have to worry about if there's anyone that decides that they're going to uh support venezuela that would be from the you know from asia or from from you know whether it be uh russia or china or whatever if they were around if they decide they want to support venezuela then the u.s has the monroe doctrine which is saying that no one from from any other part from the from the eastern hemisphere has any business being in the
Starting point is 01:30:23 western hemisphere this is the total the domain totally the domain of the united states and we will not accept countries from europe or from asia or from the middle east or from africa meddling in north or south america we just totally reject it out of hand and so now the u.s is in a situation where if anyone does decide to go ahead and support venezuela then the u.s is going to talk about the monroe doctrine and say you can't look here i don't think it even matters if russia iran or china gets involved with venezuela the fact is if we have war in south america war in southeast asia war in eastern europe war in the middle east you've got world war that's kind of how world war ii like mussolini started that and with his north african conquest he gave hitler the
Starting point is 01:31:05 green light basically he was like hey look you can conquer your neighbors and no one's stopping me and then hitler was like oh wow i like and and japan it's not like these are neighboring countries yep just like war was totally do it which justifies that guy doing it which justifies that guy doing it and then you've got like a smash and grab situation where everyone's like well before this is over i'm going to see if i can get a piece maybe not justify but basically creates the opportunity yeah justify in their own minds i should say i mean is there really ever a justification for offensive war i don't know yeah but but the scarier thing i suppose is as phil's bringing up with minnows doctrine is guy on is asking the u.s to prevent the invasion so what do you guys think we should get involved in
Starting point is 01:31:41 war in venezuela i don't think so but I'd rather have our aircraft carriers there than in the Red Sea or something. I agree, because we're talking about having our forces in the Gulf. All I can say is I'm missing some mean tweets right about now. Yeah? Are you involved with this kind of military stuff in the Congress? I mean, you know, it's like involved uh the function of funding that's the power of the purse is probably the biggest tool that congress has and so funding the military and then also funding you know i would say our our projects overseas and foreign affairs that that's a lot of congresses and obviously congress can declare war
Starting point is 01:32:27 as well but that that doesn't happen too often in modern times usually since world war ii yeah usually usually uh in modern times you know you've got your executive branch that's that's doing that so the executive takes control of military or you know probably unrighteously but you know the executive always has control of the military so once it's unleashed it's the executive's authority until they want to stop does congress declare when the war is over or is that up to the executive branch it can be either or so if someone's going to decide to move those aircraft carriers away from israel into the off the coast of venez that being the president? Right now, that's the president. Yeah, that's the president making those calls.
Starting point is 01:33:08 Joe Biden. He's like, what's it called again? They're talking about Hunter. They're lies. It's all lies. No, so we're talking about Venezuela going to war.

Isn't that the guy from System of a Down? Yeah. Yes, we'd absolutely love to have him on the show.
Starting point is 01:36:34 System of a Down? Come on. All right. Alpha Turkey says Ben's hatred for Vivek is something to behold. You talking about Ben Shapiro? Yeah. I think when you just say Ben, everyone knows who you're referring to. He didn't like Vivek. Why come he didn't like him? He's not like
Starting point is 01:36:47 them ever. He's a DeSantis guy. He's friends with him but he's not a fan of him. Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. So he does like him but he doesn't support him for president. Yeah. He's friends with Vivek. All right. Logan Culver says
Starting point is 01:37:03 Vivek is millennial Ron Paul. Ch changed my mind i swear if i get sent one more video of the vivek obama thing i'm just like dude i don't care they're like did you notice that vivek said things that obama said i'm like okay i don't know he's studying politicians and trying to learn how to be an effective uh orator next what's the point i liked how he turned to chris christie and kind of like emasculated him i was like just get off the stage come on why are you go have a nice meal yeah and it's like yeah that is how i want my executive to talk to down to other leaders like you need to establish dominance you know that there's a video going viral of barbara walters being like you're too fat to be president did you see that no i didn't see and he's like she's like i'm sitting here
Starting point is 01:37:41 across from you and i notice you are overweight and he goes very and she goes why and he's like, I'm sitting here across from you, and I notice you're overweight. And he goes, very. And she goes, why? And he's like, if I knew, I'd fix it. And she goes, well, some people say you're too fat to be president. And he was like, that's ridiculous. I don't know if she said it like that bluntly, but I'll say it right now. I mean, the dude I don't think that I think it's irresponsible to put people that are that are unhealthy like that in positions of not just not just positions of power, but positions that we that we look up to. I was talking to to Brett about this today on PCC or before PCC.
Starting point is 01:38:18 We need to bring back aspirational. No more of this ads that mimic reality and television shows that mimic reality and blah, blah, blah. I want aspirational no more of this ads that mimic reality and television shows that mimic reality and blah blah i want aspirational things i want attractive people in my ads i want attractive people that we are that that us that make people aspire to be better than they are and i think those are the people that should should get uh should get that should get more focus from society. We want to go to Mars. Yeah, I mean, that's aspirational. But I think that national vision and a national plan and something that unites us.
Starting point is 01:38:53 Yeah, but the idea that we should focus on average, everyday, and mundane, and that's what we should put in front of our faces all the time because that's what reality is. I think that we should reject that and we should look towards more aspirational things. I like when average mundane becomes awesome over the course of a movie because then you're like, well, now I know what average is. Well, that's the hero's journey.
Starting point is 01:39:13 Yes. All right. Comey Watermelon says, cast brew coffee and Shadowrun. It's a good night. Make Shadowrun great again. What is that? Shadowrun is like post-apocalyptic.
Starting point is 01:39:24 No, it's like a fascist, corporatized global governance D&D. Like in the future. I thought that's what it was because you had mentioned it before. There's magic and dwarves and all these fantasy characters, but it's all corporations.
Starting point is 01:39:38 We got to do that. Yo, we need to do this, okay? We need to do the culture war D&D game. It could be really good. I that would be an like i mean we we we we play it live we do it for like four hours how many hours should a campaign go two plus but four is good two it's got to be like a campaign probably should go a campaign campaign 30 40 50 hours yeah it should be like right course of like so i'm saying like six months down for two three hours three hours. So I think there already exists like a political version of D&D,
Starting point is 01:40:06 but we need to formulate it as to the modern politics and do like, so you know what like the Democrats and the neocons did in 2020 that is a war game. They basically play Dungeons and Dragons, but the characters were like Hillary and Trump and Biden.
Starting point is 01:40:19 And they war gamed out what would happen by rolling die and like playing D&D. And so I'm like, we should do a show that creates the campaign throughout 2024 and stays a little bit ahead of what's going on. Yeah, make Half-Orcs great again. Well, we wouldn't call them Half-Orcs. You'd have politicians. The point of the game is you're a lobbyist for Raytheon. You know what I mean? Have you guys ever played a video game on the show like that we wouldn't do it on
Starting point is 01:40:49 this show we'd make a different show and okay we we we did film one time we played dnd that was kind of fun but not it wasn't like a live thing or anything like that but uh maybe maybe gamer maids yeah i was thinking that today it could be like a all-inclusive gamer channel like it doesn't have to just be video games the whole idea of like gamer men and gamer maids like let's roll with it gamer men gamer men and gamer maids yes i'm a proud no but for real like how do we do this we need we need someone who knows politics and dnd and can craft this maybe you should dm it no you'd be a great story no no time for that no time i got no time for that but it's fun it's like a sunday night yeah we could do it a sunday night live show and then you're basically like okay the primary is happening you're like i'm gonna roll and see
Starting point is 01:41:35 what happens like oh man you know no donald trump actually lost iowa how did that happen oh that's interesting yeah and then you'd have like proud boys and antifa and whatever it'd be hilarious all right anyway all right where are we at nick napper says tim man you look tired uh i am the antithesis of tired uh i feel great but thank you thank you for your concern uh man i barely sleep i can't sleep i sleep like six hours a night do you meditate uh no i just did that it was great no i took a sauna what about melatonin take any melatonin none of that you work out uh i skate period a lot and so uh we've been we've been skating a lot and filming a lot does that help does that help you sleep i don't i don't no no i don't have trouble going to sleep i just don't need that much sleep oh so i go to bed usually around like 1 a.m and i wake up around uh it's six and a half hours i wake up around 6 30 i'm sorry 7 30 so yeah it's
Starting point is 01:42:30 pretty awesome sleep and rest are different things you can rest while you're awake and you can get sleep and not get rest then i work throughout the morning uh i've been working a lot faster i've been trying to get things done sooner but it only it only works depending on what like the news is so right now we're in like things are getting kind of dense news-wise so it allows me to record more quickly and then i've been skating around like 1 p.m where i usually would skate around 3 p.m gives me a little bit more time to go get food and then come back and hang out and then we get ready for the show around like 6 30 onward and then we finish at 11 and then i'm in bed by 11 30 and then i just watch i bet i usually i just watch tv shows but uh recently
Starting point is 01:43:06 we were at a bank and one of the bank tellers had jujitsu kaisen as his his desktop background and so uh i was like i'm gonna watch that show and then i just spammed it anime yeah so is that is that your show your like genre of choice right now no i mean like when you when you have uh so the boys great show gen v i like that and then uh what was the other thing i was watching um i i much prefer shows like that but then recently just because some guy at a bank was was was watching and i was like i guess i'll check it out and then uh actually i think it's pretty good it's pretty good cool but uh i don't know jujitsu kaisen means sorcery battle sorcery battle yeah
Starting point is 01:43:46 that's basically what it's about and people uh like it you basically take any anime like modern anime and they're all like identical you know i mean you ever see that the thing where they they took uh yeah energy blast or whatever someone took the top four country songs over like four years and then laid them over each other and it's the same song so you know that's how anime works too it's like when it works you know it works all right sakurai13 says i stopped eating bread after i realized it was staying fresh a month after the expiration date i don't like to eat things like that you put fresh in quotation marks you know i feel like that i feel like that is more indicative of them telling you that it goes bad long before it's actually going to go bad so you buy
Starting point is 01:44:37 more than it is actually a problem yes yep so however i i think it's also depending on the bread like mcdonald's doesn't rot or mold so there so if you get wonder bread just like white wonder bread like the plain old white wonder bread that stuff will be moldy with like real fast and i feel like that's because of the sugar content in it but i don't but if you get like all natural bread that stuff will last and last and no no no no you need to make bread like every stuff will last and last and last. No, no, no, no. You need to make bread every day, and it would mold in a couple days. If you keep it dry, it stays better longer. If you keep it dry, yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:11 In like five days. After two days, if there's any moisture, plastic bags make it go moldy really quick. But if it's in a dry thing with holes in it, you can kind of like a bread basket, you can keep it five days, maybe seven top. But usually by seven, you've got mold on it five probably five rob says phil should use his failed musician skills and see if sean danielson of smile empty soul and aaron lewis of stained would come on the show also i hear james hetfield is pretty based ian you're the man dude rock on uh i don't know uh the guys in smile empty soul or james hetfield but i do know aaron i'm trying to get a hold of him but i haven't been able to he actually just left he was he was but I do know Aaron. I'm trying to get a hold of him, but I haven't been able to. He actually just left. He was here
Starting point is 01:45:46 a week ago. Yeah. Last week. I'm trying to get in touch with him to see if he can... So he played at Hollywood Charlestown and I was like, oh, maybe he'll have time, but it looked like his schedule wouldn't have made sense. So I don't know if our people reached out to his people or whatever happened, but I think he was coming straight from Philly.
Starting point is 01:46:02 Yeah. So it was like, no one's going gonna do a show and then do a morning like no one's gonna play a live show up to midnight then do a morning show and then do another show that night it'd be cool to have him on the culture war though oh yeah yeah yeah that'd be really great uh i really like that guy man who is it aaron lewis yeah yeah reading reading what he wrote he wrote that song that was really big about America. Right. He's from Springfield. He's from the town just south of where I grew up. But reading about his explanation for why he wrote it and why he decided, it's amazing.
Starting point is 01:46:36 He's a good dude. Oh, yeah. Stained. Okay. Yeah, of course. I know this guy's music. He's great. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:40 They got tons of great stuff. Yeah. It's been a while. Is that Stained? Oh, man. It's been a while. Dude, that? Oh, man. It's been a while. Dude, that song's hot. I love that song.
Starting point is 01:46:48 It's hot. All right. Andrew 843 says, Disabled veteran here. Why can't the Major Richard Starr Act get a vote in Congress? Which one is that? Major Richard Starr Act.
Starting point is 01:47:00 I am not familiar. I don't know it off the top of my head. I'd have to look it up andrew just lobbied congress right now that super chat maybe now you'll uh you'll look into it and maybe something will happen who knows yeah maybe it turns out to be a really bad act then he's like whoa this guy's crazy or maybe it's something really good that needs to get some conversation we'll figure it out brown bear says as much as i want to see trump get his revenge after last night i honestly think vivek would be a better president i agree but uh the issue with Vivek is, you know, all in due time, I think Vivek would be an excellent
Starting point is 01:47:32 president. I think first he'd be a great VP. I know he probably doesn't want to do that, but I wonder if that's just him saying publicly, I don't want to be VP because he needs to maintain the composure of I'm a leader. I'm not just here to be vp but i don't know i think he i think you do a fantastic job actually me too man and you know i agree i want to throw in on that one here's the deal though a lot of politicians are great at talking oh yeah right and so as far as i'm concerned is vick vick great on a debate stage absolutely but you know until you you can't really judge any of these folks until you see them under pressure and that's the reason why i'm trump all the way because we've we've seen them throw the kitchen sink at him and he he doesn't stop like he doesn't change course
Starting point is 01:48:18 and he's willing to stand in the gap no matter what which is why you know vivek may be strong what you know if he got into one of these pressure pressure situations but we already know trump is and that's why you know i'm i support trump all the way because politicians are great at talking and talk is cheap and that that's a good another good point i'd like to see vivek take up an office he's got a debate vp but uh apparently the rumor is uh melania wants tucker to be vp i saw that i kind of i think tucker would be yeah i think tucker would be a better vp than vivek vivek's leadership material vivek should figure it out i don't know i think he's fantastic but trump carlson 2024 that'd be hot it's the populist that'd be awesome yeah but i agree on the revenge thing it doesn't
Starting point is 01:49:07 thrill me as a message to send to the the people i don't want to i don't want to no he's saying he does want it oh he agrees that revenge is cool i don't know but he says despite that i do think the fake would be better having a give being given a plan and a blueprint of the future is is exhilarating i like revenge i like you know and it's funny because you got these pundits being like, Donald Trump doesn't care about you. He only wants revenge for himself. And I'm like, yeah, I'm on board with that. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 01:49:31 Next question. Are you kidding? Trump going in and firing a bunch of people? Yeah. Great. Let him get his revenge. All the good time. When they did that quote, too, where they asked him if he was going to be authoritarian the day he went in or if he's gonna
Starting point is 01:49:45 abuse his power yeah and he he answered the question without listening to the question he answered it in a way that didn't make sense so i don't think he said yes i'm going to abuse my power he was just like he said he's gonna do it on the first day no no he said close the border and deport a bunch of people close the border and drill and drill drill drill yeah that's it and then sean was like yes but going after your opponents, he's like, we're going to drill. And he's like, so you're saying you want to bring things back to the way they were. Okay, next question. We're going to drill.
Starting point is 01:50:12 Want to close the border. Mikey says, yo, Tim, it's my birthday. Happy birthday. Is that Mickey or Mikey? I think it's Mickey. The Ninja Bear says, Tim, you have to have movies like monty python and die hard playing in the studio mary hasn't seen them phil and peeps empire is the best star wars movie jedi is just muppets ian web 3.0 blockchain we were talking about star wars uh before the show you're listening to the
Starting point is 01:50:38 show today pcc today oh what they were talking about it? Yeah. Because I mentioned on Twitter that, you know, basically, we talked about how Luke Skywalker got radicalized by religious zealots to go blow up a military base. Canonically, there's between one and two million people, one to two million total on the Death Star. In later books, they said, oh, it's Empire propaganda. It was only 800,000. And I'm like, is that better i mean
Starting point is 01:51:05 dude come on luke skywalker killed a million people and it's canonical uh it is canon that uh many of the people who were on the death star had their families there working as well and many of them were civilian contractors because it has to be i mean there's no reasonable storytelling with well we evacuated all civilians and the only people there were evil military men look well people people's families are there. And so a point I eventually got to was, I think people are saying, yeah, but the Death Star blew up Alderaan. And I'm like, nah, that's rebel propaganda, dude.
Starting point is 01:51:35 Alderaan blew itself up, you guys. Sorry to tell you. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, because they were stockpiling weapons to use against the innocent people, the religious zealots. And then when it blows up, they blame it on the Empire. It's a false flag.
Starting point is 01:51:49 But more importantly, real quick, the story of Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith is the most unbelievable and implausible scenario I've ever heard. Here's this guy who's a military hero, beloved by the people, who is working on behalf of the
Starting point is 01:52:07 government legally and then one day just one day for no reason he murders the head of the jedi council and then decides an hour later to massacre children that sounds like rebel propaganda mental illness no but like my point is it's just bad story writing like anakin skywalker is like you can't kill him he must stand trial and mace windu is like no he's too evil so literally it's anakin being like we must uphold the law and then an hour later he's like i guess i'll kill a bunch of kids like that story arc makes no sense whatsoever so i want to make a short film we got to figure this one out where it's basically inverting the propaganda and making star wars from the perspective of the empire
Starting point is 01:52:50 they wouldn't call themselves the empire that's silly propaganda they'd call themselves the united states of space we'll say the united planets of space yeah and then there's a religious zealot group of religious zealots that they they blow up a military base killing millions of people including a hundred thousand hundreds of thousands of civilians if if the death star blown up alderaan would they have been justified and murder and would it even be murder i asked you guys that before the show if they for luke blowing that death star put the million people on it was it justified i say no i say yes i think so it's it's it's all in the storytelling and the storytelling is the only way to do it was this one weakness where they sent in the bomb and then it blew the whole thing up
Starting point is 01:53:30 and then everyone said that was stupid and so then they made the prequel rogue one where the guy building that star goes i've implanted a secret weakness so that my daughter could blow it up i'm like yeah okay great right because the reality is they would stage an attack on, and this is a moon-sized base. They'd attack the weapon. They would disable the weapon and not massacre everybody on the base. And honestly, try and take it over. I mean, maybe that's impossible. Yeah, I want to answer that guy.
Starting point is 01:53:58 He said Empire was the best of the Star Wars and the Return of the Jedi was a bunch of puppets. You're right. It was. star wars and the return of the jedi was a bunch of puppets you're right it was but it was the best in my opinion because the way luke turned darth vader to the light side is like just what great storytelling and that that happened in jedi yeah it was the end of return of the jedi yeah not empire no that's why i think jedi's better as he did it in jedi i just like that story is like oh yes you can redeem okay yeah i disagree with yeah it was it was it was so stupid how they made him evil in the first place that was just so dumb your your your wife died from sadness and now you murder
Starting point is 01:54:32 children like why did anakin kill a bunch of kids like super cheap i will do anything you say what why like come on man give give me something to believe the dude wants to be evil not just the what have i done yikes but anyway my point is we could take those clips and then make a short film where we're like this is all rebel propaganda that's not how anakin anakin didn't murder a bunch of kids for no reason it can start off with like an old man reading this end of the story and it turns out he's like a rebel propagandist they're like oh yeah that guy and then when the story. And it turns out he's like a rebel propagandist. They're like, Oh yeah, that guy.
Starting point is 01:55:06 And then when you like find out it's all rebel propaganda, I think you just do the movie and you do it from the perspective of the empire. And then like, it just, you don't have Darth Vader killing people, killing children for no reason. Like that just makes no sense.
Starting point is 01:55:18 It doesn't even fit a story arc. No, I mean, for real, if they want to make him evil, they, there was no point in making him go to a temple to murder children. It didn't do anything for the story.
Starting point is 01:55:25 I was thinking like Princess Bride, there's the narrator. He's like, but if you really want to know what happened, and then he gets out the real book and he's like. And we would be able to call it. Actually, we might be able to call it Star Wars and the Empire because we're making fun of it. Luke is just some zealot. Oh, we're talking about this too. Like Ian mentioned that he comes home and he finds his parents are murdered. Yeah, fried by lasers or something.
Starting point is 01:55:47 All right, let's break this down. So- His uncle and aunt. Actually, let me ask you. So you served overseas. Yeah. You get orders that there are people who have stolen classified military weapons materials and have hidden that in a location.
Starting point is 01:56:10 Like how would that play out if you were ordered to go to that house you and like they're they're they're not cooperating you have to like kick the door in like you've got to get that stuff back yeah so so the scenario would be the storm troopers they call it oh come on that's propaganda the servicemen and women receive vital instruction that weapons classified weapons materials plans and means of exploiting and blowing up a military base have fallen into the hands of religious zealot terrorists they deploy to this planet all desert they go to this house last known location of the droid carrying the information and what happens the people there resist i mean so this is not this is not this is not an easy situation and i don't know what the answer is going to be but the end result was they die the military then collects what they can they
Starting point is 01:56:55 find nothing they leave luke skywalker comes home to find his parents are dead and then says the evil empire killed my killed or his aunt uncle sorry and he's like they killed my aunt and uncle and now i want revenge and that's probably a true story for what happens with the united states in the middle east all the time and if you think about the drastic nature that the empire was under is like if during the manhattan project if our plans for the nuclear bomb got leaked to the nazis and it was in a location and we had to send in special forces to get it back like there is no time you don't ask if you can have it well let's let's put it this way the plans for a for uh the schematics for the world trade center are stolen by terrorists
Starting point is 01:57:33 with also the capability and the means and the plans to destroy them and everyone inside and soldiers are ordered to go recover that to put a stop to this plan and in in the search these two people are killed they resist they say oh get out of here a fight breaks out the guys with guns that's the key word the key word uh there is resist right and it like in in a situation like that it depends on what level of resistance right if you feel like you can handle you can handle the situation without lethality that's absolutely what you do but if if you don't if you feel like you can handle the situation without lethality, that's absolutely what you do. But if you don't, if you feel like you need to escalate it to lethality, then that's how it works. We got to make this short film.
Starting point is 01:58:12 It's gold, man. I definitely feel like I should have beefed up on my Star Wars before coming out here. Luke Skywalker? I feel completely inadequate to even. Did you see the first three? I think, yeah, I did. I did, but I'm definitely not at the level of you guys, man they were so good so luke that's my bad luke comes home and his aunt and uncle are dead and then a religious guy in robes comes and he's like let me explain to
Starting point is 01:58:34 you the truth about the evil empire and he's like what's the evil empire well you might call them the united planets you know of the milky way but we call them the evil empire and then he's like whoa and the guy gives him a gun basically like dude hands him a weapon right away luke was gonna join how old was luke 16 yeah something young and the dude's like here's a laser weapon and he's like wow i'm it's like it's it's also funny with harry potter they're basically giving kids guns like you give them a wand and then harry potter slashes a kid in the back luke we're gonna join the uh the united we should read more planets oh yeah but we'll talk more about that later uh ram charger says i was a member of the u.s coast guard which is part of
Starting point is 01:59:15 the dhs i was one of many who kick who was kicked out over not being vaccinated if congress is willing to make the dod and dhs take us back with back pay and back promotions no matter our discharge status. Is Congress willing to make the DOD and DHS take us back with back pay, back promotions, no matter their discharge status? No, what do you think about that? Yeah, if it was for the VAX mandate, I absolutely would be. I've talked to a couple members on the VA committee about that same thing, a couple other veterans. And I do think there's an appetite amongst it from certain members of the conference. I don't know if we could get right now to pass something in Congress, you would need 218 votes. And I think we have like 221 people. So it's a tall
Starting point is 01:59:58 order to get any piece of legislation through Congress, and then you have to get it through the Senate, and then Biden would have to sign it. But it goes back to what I was talking about. That's one way right there that they could start to reestablish some trust amongst not only folks that have served, but in, you know, amongst younger generations, if they want to get the recruiting numbers up. Let me try. Okay. I'm going to try and get your name right.'s uh is it uh white check is that patachni i totally got it wrong but i was close right i say that we vote to take ian's rocks away all in favor say i unfortunately we are in a republic where uh the sheep is well armed and can contest the vote oh that's that's true so everyone in chat can we're not a democracy you can't um i being the
Starting point is 02:00:47 representative however if elected will uh issue my decision on uh voting takeaway ian's rocks what rocks do they want ian well he's probably want this aquamarine no doubt it's beautiful and maybe this amethyst which i think i think i think the problem is ladies and gentlemen as your representative here at timcast i'm actually the one who gave ian a bunch of those rocks true we'd have to go through and be like a force settlement i don't want to do these mushrooms are great i got them in a triangle like the triforce everyone's voting to take away your ass so don't do it that's where i get my power i'm just kidding by the way we can do it we can do a bit where ian's rocks get stolen then he just he's wearing a suit reading the bible rock man we do have a superhero that took
Starting point is 02:01:24 the rocks no he should be polishing a chess board like shot or doing the chess board like shawshank redemption yeah they give him all the rocks and he makes a chess board chess pieces out of it's a good idea that's cool raymond g stanley jr says tim likes chair dancing to taylor swift you know the last thing i want to bring up on this is like if you saw my segment on this one the there's a psyop going on right now to convince Trump supporters to attack Taylor Swift. You know why? Because Taylor Swift publicly called out George Soros. She did. And Alex Soros, because they bought her music, her master recordings out from under her.
Starting point is 02:01:56 And now, for some reason, a bunch of Trump supporters are actually attacking Taylor Swift, insulting her. And I'm like, why are you starting a fight with someone who actually just opened the door for an opportunity there? Like you can go to all Taylor Swift's fans right now and be like, hey, Taylor Swift fan, did you see how George Soros screwed over Taylor Swift?
Starting point is 02:02:16 Yeah, we also don't like George Soros. Instead, people are like, Taylor's awful and she's a Democrat, so condemn her. And I'm like, why? It's so weird oh it's so weird it's so weird that's cool man the uniparty is definitely where we should be focused yeah just don't like first of all if if taylor swift is going to vote democrat and push all these things
Starting point is 02:02:34 and she probably will why go to war with the most popular celebrity it just makes no sense because people are dumb so you've got to get taylor over here all right james hates everything says you've clearly never seen troops google owen and barrow were in it or a domestic dispute yes i have but it's not what i'm talking about i'm saying i want to make it totally inverted right but anyway my friends smash that like button subscribe to this channel share the show with your friends head over to timcast.com because the members only show will be starting in like a minute or two you don't want to miss it's going to be fun and uh you can Share the show with your friends.
