Donald Trump has secured a victory in the Supreme Court simply by the Supreme Court saying no
to special counsel Jack Smith.
Trump's trying to argue that he's got immunity.
This would delay the trial for Donald Trump at the federal level until after the election.
So Jack Smith is desperately trying to force through this criminal trial, bypassing the appeals process.
But it didn't work.
Supreme Court said, hold your horses there, buddy.
Ain't going to happen, which means massive victory for Trump, at least in one of his
cases.
It's not going to go to trial until after the election already happens.
And this is federal.
So it should be really interesting to see what happens,
because Trump will probably just pardon himself.
Should be very interesting.
And then we've got some big breaking news.
The border crisis is getting crazy.
More and more people are coming out with huge stories pertaining to
the documentation that these illegal immigrants are being given,
the finances, the resources.
We're hearing they're being flown on planes.
And we've got James O'Keefe here to join us
with some big breaking news.
Before we get started, my friends,
head over to castbrew.com, buy some coffee.
It's the end of the year.
We got a Cast Brew gift card
now available as a featured product.

Go to youtube, music.youtube.com, subscribe to our music channel.
The first week of our release for the new song, Together Again, is over.
We ended the week with 8.7 million plays.
Suck on on that far left
cry babies they're all screaming and everybody's like tim oh your music sucks i'm like bro i'm
chilling you don't have to like my music i'm not saying everybody does okay but this one is i think
it's fair to say the daily wire really helped out with this is why it's probably done better than
the other songs michael knolls jeremy boring this is originally written by them we made a modern
version of it uh sales are looking good this looks to be the biggest release we've done so far
however the difference with the other songs we released those in the rock genre probably easier
to chart on billboard and that so we'll see what happens this is pop i'm not i don't know how well
we'll end up doing but uh thank you to everybody look we've got like five or six songs we released
we're hoping next year we're going to have a lot more.
Everyone's saying you need more bands.
Totally get it.
Right now I have like just Carter Banks, one guy who's working on all this music.
And so we certainly have a lot more to do, but it means we're going to be expanding.
As we're moving into the new space, we're going to have a bigger opportunity.
And we're talking with a few artists.
We're talking with some major, major bands about working with us.
And we're working out what that deal would look like because we're not doing things traditionally.
But a lot of big cultural moves are happening.

sign a great artist to Trash
House Records. I'm very excited
for this announcement, which is a little
preliminary, but ladies and gentlemen, the
great artist, James O'Keefe, maybe,
maybe, joining the ranks.
Not maybe, definitely.
So actually, James came in early, so
we could discuss music production,
because, I mean, a lot of people have seen the work you've
already done already, with music and
theater and all that, but we're going to ramp it up.
I can't wait. I've got so many good ideas.
You know, I was the lead in Oklahoma, I'm a DJj i i just haven't a lot of time but tim i look forward
to come back and uh making some music absolutely and we're gonna do some great videos music videos
and all that stuff but uh james you're here uh you've got some big breaking news i believe for
us tonight yeah as i was sitting here right before your show uh tim A lot to cover tonight, and thank you for having me again.
This is a story after AmFest.
We went to the airport,
and various flight attendants, pilots,
ticket counter people pulled me aside,
recognized me, said,
you've got to do something, James.
They're inundating.
Buses are dropping people off.
So I ran up to the bus.
I got a little video.
We'll talk about that in a minute, of the driver of this black car black car limousine dropping off migrants and then i
obtained today this i just broke this a moment ago on my x page if you want to pull it up these are
new these are tickets they're giving out to migrants you can look at it it says quote please
help me print my boarding pass i am a refugee and i do not speak the language
thank you these were given to me from inside the airlines industry by some of the folks working
there and they're just flying people around the government claims it's vetting these individuals
for putting them on planes but our reporting contradicts that we found is the agents responsible
for vetting the identification of these individuals
are relying solely on their word now you and i couldn't travel without an id yeah uh and we have
to take off our shoes so what's what's remarkable about this is that tim i i i've said this to you
in in uh in phoenix i've been doing this for 20 years i have never seen so many pissed off people
inside the airlines mostly pilots by the by the way, they are pissed.
So I'm really interested in getting into the driver of these cars, like what's going on with
this and now this breaking story. So we'll definitely get into that. James, thanks for
hanging out. We got Hannah Clare hanging out as well. Hey, I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow. I'm a writer
for SCNR.com, also known as Scanner News. I'm so happy to be here talking about immigration,
one of my favorite topics. Ian's here too. James, you absolute animal.
Welcome to the house.
Great to be here.
Thanks for ringing out 2023 with us, man.
I love you, dude.
It is so much better when you're here.
I'm looking forward to making killer music with you next year.
I love your energy, man.
I love it.
Let's get fried in the best way.
In the best way.
Maybe that's not the right word.
Let's get hot.
Let's make some...
I mean, I swear to God, dude, we're going to change the world with sound.
It's yelling and crapping
and complaining
it gets you a little
it gets you part way
but you wanna solve the system
I mean we're gonna do it
it's like
you're gonna save the world
with rock music I guess
is that the plan
I guess it is
alright we got Serge
pressing the buttons
you crazy kids
yeah I love seeing y'all
hyped about stuff
it's great
I got a guitar in my hand
thanks
yeah definitely
anyways let's get to the show guys
before we jump to
the crazy immigration stuff
which I think will dominate most of the conversation we do have this story
which is uh important for coming into the next year scnr.com scotus denies jack smith's request
to fast track judgment on trump's immunity claims the order jeopardizes a special council's proposed
march 4th start date this is basically it donald Trump's victory in a single, very short sentence.
The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is denied.
There you go.
What this means is Donald Trump is appealing.
He's arguing that he is immune as president.
And I believe the arguments presented, excuse me, by legal scholars sound that a president does a lot of things. If you think the president has committed high
crimes and misdemeanors, treason, sedition, whatever it might be, you impeach them,
convict them, and then criminally charge them. The reason why we don't criminally charge sitting
presidents is that they are the chief enforcer of law as the head of the executive branch.
That means that we first have to remove them
from the position of law enforcement
before we criminally charge them.
I think it makes total sense.
Right now, what we're seeing is it looks like this case,
the federal level, is not going to happen
until after the election because of this.
And what that likely means is Trump will pardon himself.
That would be the best move of all time.
I would love it.
I think that would be so funny.
Realistically, I feel like we're going to jump through some more legal hurdles before we get there but uh it would make the democrats crazy
if we got to the point where trump pardoned himself what's he gonna be like pardon me
and then it'll be like well all right he said it uh that actually does seem like something
donald trump would do he'd be he'd stand up and he'd smirk and he'd go pardon me can you can you
do that can the president pardon himself just put it on
truth social i am pardoned and that's it wow he would just say pardon me that's a good one that's
funny i'm not asking i'm telling i'm pardoning these signs uh i think 2024 is going to be
just balls to the wall crazy why i think all bets are off it's impossible to predict we were
fastening your seatbelts we were talking with eric prince earlier this morning founder of blackwater and you know that's one of the questions i had you
know with his experience in uh conflict crisis and you know foreign war and all that stuff for
all the criticisms i think his insight still matters what would it be like like is the
potential there do you see the signs and he was just saying that he basically said gradually then suddenly
that with a lot of the countries they've seen in crisis even during katrina united states
it is overnight your utilities are gone this one of the scariest things i think people don't
realize and what he said was when his guys got to uh to um new orleans during katrina
when they arrived there were dead bodies all over the place
killed by looters and i said i don't know if looter is the right word bandit
barbarian you know when when people people take all of our he's we talked about high
trust society they take it for granted when the president of the united states his authority
his position is questioned and challenged that is someone taking a hammer and a chisel and striking it into the stone
foundation of this country in this way, particularly.
And if confidence in the system shatters.
Gradually, as we're seeing, and then suddenly overnight, electricity's off, food's not at
your store anymore, Internet's not working.
You don't know what's going on.
In a circumstance like that, the last place I'd want to be is like New York, Chicago, or LA.
I wouldn't mind just being on the mountain in West Virginia with some chickens.
And from what I've been told, if that kind of thing were to happen and it was a utility-adown situation,
you got about three weeks that you're going to need to survive on your own.
And then things will probably come back.
But in those three weeks, if you're not prepared. Not not prepared it's a civil war not if it turns into something
like that but if it's like a grid down situation and it's like you've got a lot of death in the
first two weeks people that aren't prepared at all and it but if you're one of those prepared
people and you're able to like hold out you should be okay you guys heard of a book called one second
after have you ever read this book it's about an electromagnetic pulse and what happens to it.

it all breaks down within a few hours.
When there's no electricity,
just what happens,
and it basically devolves into Lord of the Flies,
into just anarchy.
And after a few days,
people start breaking out into tribes.
Yep.
It's crazy.
You got to read that book.
I think you see early signs of that right now,
though, right?
We see communities at odds with each other every day.
I mean, I just saw this sort of day
where Charlie Sheen, the actor,
his neighbor broke into his house and tried to strangle him. People are at odds with one another every single day. I mean, I just saw this sort of day where Charlie Sheen, the actor, his neighbor like broke into his house and tried to strangle him. Like people are at odds with one another
every single day. There might be other circumstances there, but I think it's fair to say that trust has
degraded enough to affect quality of life as we know it right now. Just think about how crazy it
was like in the 1800s where you're some dude who has a farm and you could be in a feud with a guy
like 50 miles away.
And then he just go over there, kill him and then go back.
And then nobody would know.
I mean, this was never do anything about it.
What's the prequel to is it 1889?
The like Yellowstone prequel.
They have this whole thing where it's like, well, we want that land for our sheep to graze on.
OK, well, we'll come and murder you.
Like they have shootouts all the time.
Yeah, it's not as far back as we think it is. Right.
In that one, it's like they were close enough to the city to where there were questions
about the feud and everything.
But back in the day, some guy would jump out of the forest, stab you, take your stuff,
and there ain't no way anyone's going to figure out what happened.
I was going to tweet out.
I didn't do it because it's kind of ridiculous.
How many people do you think have died?
I'm just talking about of all time.
Yeah.
Oh, there's a number.
You can Google it.
Really?
Yeah, of course.
But like you said you
can't track it because some people just they disappear that's not true we have uh 109 billion
people have lived and died over the course of 192 000 years uh it's it's an estimate obviously
but it's just simply tracking population size and growth and we know about population sizes
through historical record except for tartaria right that was another hundred billion. Oh, shit.
Never forget.
Tartaria.
Yeah, let's talk more.
Well, I think this is the year
of doing your best
and maintaining friendships.
It's going to be so important
to be tight with
who you're tight with
and stay tight.
You know,
we're having this discussion
with Michael Malice
because he got that bet
with Roseanne.
What's the bet?
Roseanne said there won't be an election.
Michael Malice said, I will bet you $1,000 there will be.
And she said, deal.
She also bet there would be military tribunals
at the end of this year
that Trump would be arresting people.
And he laughed and he bet.
And I'm like, Roseanne, that's not going to happen.
Now, the question about election is,
what do you mean by no election?
I think we all agree she meant it would like chaos. The election wouldn happen and uh who was it was it colonel mcgregor who no
it wasn't who was it who said that we're not going to make it to 2024's election you might be right
about that i'm not sure you want to look at it on a podcast it was on pbd i think and uh uh i i
actually think there's a strong case for that and we joke with michael malice that he doesn't owe
roseanne any money because just because trump's been removed from the ballot doesn't mean there
won't be an election and uh michael was arguing that if it's nikki haley versus joe biden it's
still an election and i'm like fair point agreed but i'm starting to feel like if it does i'm saying
if it escalates based on everything we're seeing by may or june the damn could snap i mean they're talking about
putting the city the former president almost at sitting the former president in prison and
74 million voters more more votes than any sitting president this is not gonna this is not gonna it's
not gonna work i mean people are just gonna go insane january 6 already happened they can make
any argument they want about yeah but the government will stop them what i'm like dude what what what eric prince was talking about this morning you got to understand
that uh he said even police in louisiana are looting and we talked about this i said there
was a movie and the uh the crew the audience the chat pointed out world war z brad pitt's character
goes into the store to get medicine for his daughter he sees a cop run in and he's like oh
crap and the cop just looks at him starts grabbing stuff and then runs cops are people so when it when it what if it
breaks down to this point it's not just going to be the military being like we are going to stop
all of this you know there were cops active duty and there were active duty military on january 6
in the capitol it's not like everybody in the army is just like a bunch of liberals yeah it's not
like everybody that's wearing a cop uniform is going to be a cop either.
Yeah, exactly.
I got one of those Baofeng CB radios,
those little $20, you know,
handheld shortwave radios
and a little solar panel,
got some solar panels.
I mean, if grid down,
we need to maintain communication.
That's primary, number one.
I don't know exactly
the rules and restrictions of that
because they'll be like,
stay off of these channels.
You can't go on these channels.
I think the thing is if we were to go grid down, this is the time that you would want to know your neighbors and know who's going to be in the houses next door to you.
Because there's one thing to say, like, yes, we should all flee to the woods.
But realistically, if you live in suburbia, if you live in a city, you're not going to be able to get out fast enough if the grid goes down.
You have to know the people around you.
And that's really the big crime of American culture today, which is that we are more isolated than ever and we are low
trust. So we are unlikely to reach out to the people next door to us and therefore we are
surrounding ourselves with strangers. Why do you think people feel low trust?
I mean, this is something they've documented over time, right? We are not a community-based people.
We are not as involved in community service. We don't attend church as much.
And so I think it's just sort of a cultural shift.
Some of it, I would argue, has to do with values, right?
You can say we all have the same values,
but unless you live and breathe the values,
we don't really know what they are.
And I think also we are a more divided society politically.
And so we are taught to train,
to look at everyone who doesn't vote
the same way we do as the other.
And that's an unrealistic way to live trust is everything trust is confidence a government
only exists based on trust i'm not saying trust as in if ian tells me he'll pay me back i trust
he will that's a component but trust is also i know that if i break the law i can trust in
government to punish me or someone else. I know that if
someone tries to break into my house, I can trust that the police will be there. Low trust society
doesn't just mean we have faith in each other. It means do we have faith in this system? And as
we're moving closer and closer to or as trust in society is dropping rapidly, it will eventually
come to a point where it's no different than if there was no government.
So when, you know, Eric Prince is mentioning their guys show up after being called in by the
government saying we need security and they find dead bodies, that's a zero trust society.
Random guys with guns don't care who you are, don't want to bother with it. They're hungry and
they need stuff and you're in the way, you die. That could happen gradually as well as, you know,
hurricane comes, floods the city
everyone's in panic and chaos the system is broken law enforcement is in is it disheveled
and looting and running no trust is gone the problem is i think that some people are they
kind of are waiting for it to happen and are like ready for the moment the power goes down to just
jump like another george floyd riots uh summer of love kind of
thing exactly like they're not even gonna wait two days to before they're just like we are so that
i'm very concerned about that they're already doing it we are seeing the videos over the past
several years of people just storming into buildings and raiding them and taking whatever
they want and it's and you know what it is there's trust in this they trust the government will do
nothing to stop them they trust no one will stop them so the government will do nothing to stop them. They trust no one will stop them. So the government will, I should say, law enforcement will arrest you for illegally
bearing guns.
They describe as illegal.
I think the Constitution says otherwise.
And then when the criminals come and rob and destroy your property, they say, what are
we supposed to do about it?
So the system is designed to fail right now.
We're already at the point of almost no trust.
What happens in the summer of this year when it's looking like Donald Trump will win or they take action to in some way stop Donald Trump from winning?
Eric Prince pointed out the only other time the Democrats president had been removed from the ballot and it was Democrats who did it was Abraham Lincoln.
A year later, the country was in a civil war.
Vivek made an interesting tweet. I think it was yesterday.
He said, if you think that Donald Trump or Joe Biden are getting anywhere near the White House, what is wrong with you?
Like the way he phrased it was like, there's no way in hell that's going to happen.
Trump or Biden?
Yeah, he's kind of like, I think he sees something about the way that the deep state works and the way that the powers that be kind of want the situation to go and they are the ones with all the secret police so he just kind of consigned
himself to it i don't know if the tweet's still up i'm looking for it it's about are you sure it's
a real tweet ah someone just made a fake one here it is it's from 20 hours ago from vivek on his
page if you really if you really think quote they are going to let either trump or biden get anywhere
near the finish line open your eyes folks there's something deeper going on it's starting it's staring us right in the face
but who is they though yeah who is they put it in quotes thank you yay for giving us that mean
it could be way bigger than the american deep state it could be even bigger than that who knows
but does i mean we have to ask yay who is they though? I think one of the problems with tweets like this is like,
and I think Vivek is an interesting guy. I respect what he's doing. I think one of the problems is
it's not solution oriented. I wish there was a little bit more towards like there is something
deeper going on. And I think that's our big problem right now is that people are ready to
panic, but when there's an issue, you have to remain calm and come up with a solution.
What I like about the tweet, and I kind of agree with you, it's not a solution-oriented tweet, is that he's kind of like, hey, don't follow that dangling carrot.
That's kind of what that tweet read to me.
Interesting.
Well, if they don't let the person who wins the election win, there's going to be a kind of civil disobedience slash civil unrest inside society's institutions, not necessarily the way we think.
For example, whistleblowing, civil disobedience takes place in many forms.
And I talked to you about this today.
We do you guys remember when there was us?
We've seen all these parents going to school boards and complaining.
And then there was one.
I can't remember where it was, where all the parents just among themselves voted to replace the board.
And they said, that's not the official procedure, so it doesn't count.
But all the parents there were like, nope, we've all voted.
We are now the school board.
There is going to be an interesting clash between populism and credentialism,
where you will have in a small town, let's say this is a town of 5,000 people,
and they'll all be like, who here is an agreement that we should do X?
And they'll go, ah, and everyone cheers.
And you'll have three guys, the official law enforcement chiefs or whatever, being like, no, because we're actually in charge.
And that's going to create an interesting conundrum, conflict between what these people end up doing and how the state level, county level, or federal level authorities respond to these kinds of conflicts.
I don't think they can handle it if it's if it's in moss if it's a numbers game right
agreed there's not enough law enforcement to handle populist uprising right and i don't mean
violent uprising that's not i'm talking about kind of a uh you're talking about like a disobedience
inside the corporation or the ngo well not even not even that i'm saying like five thousand
residents of a small town somewhere
just all come out one day and say, our sheriff has abandoned us and is allowing illegal immigrants
to run rampant through our country. We are taking control. We the people. And so it will come to a
point where they're going to go, yes, but elections are held based on these procedures and you have to
do it this way. And they're going to say, we're all the people who live here and we all agree we will do it the way we want. Right. Governments only operate on the
consent of the governed, right? Except the reality of it right now is the people are subjects of the
federal government. And so the authorities, this is like what we saw with the parents. The parents
said, we hereby vote you out. And the board were like, nope, we're the official board. You can't
do it. And so I don't even know where that went.
But it's going to come to the point where grassroots individuals shift their confidence, their trust in what they believe.
But government will not let that power go.
Have you noticed, James, that disobedience has been on the rise within corporations?
And 100 percent.
It's in the last month.
So, I mean, the whistleblowing involves a crisis of conscience.
They have to weigh their loyalty to the organization versus to the public interest.
And I think that, you know, the story that we're going to talk about here tonight with these airline pilots,
actually, St. Clair, did you see that video this week?
Oh, yeah.
It was just like an explosion.
It's just everything's sort of been festering and getting to this point,
and it just blew open like this little sieve of pilots i did a spaces with her and i would say
about 70 percent of airline pilots are more conservative and about 80 to 90 percent of the
ticket agents are more liberal so you know these people these people inside the airlines you know
they they're they're they're begging me to do something about
it you know expose these buses are dropping people off so it's remarkable it's a remarkable scene i
mean i was cornered in in the airport by these uh airline workers it was like this the sami stop the
soviet union don't don't like you get whispering i don't want to be seen with you but the buses
are pulling up in 20 minutes so that that's that's a new phenomenon and
and they could lose their jobs and then one of the one of the people has a husband and she doesn't
want her husband to know that she's talking to me you know i mean these are these are these are
incredible moments that i've never experienced before i think it has a lot to do with uh this
growing realization i suppose it's very simple when i when i've talked about for the past several years
if you keep your head down and keep your mouth shut and keep working for companies because your
argument is i have a family i have children to feed you there's a lot of people who are like
tim you don't have kids you don't understand how hard it is i can't lose my job how my kids eat
the attitude you know my attitude is like you are absolutely correct that does not change the fact
you are standing with satan yeah because people not everyone can grow food you can get a vertical
little garden in your kitchen but like if you've known for a decade that you could get a vertical
farm in your kitchen and grow a little bit of crops for your kids to eat and you haven't done
it yet you might want to question your sanity well Well, it's this. It's this.
To all the people out there who say, you know, I would not blow the whistle.
I'm seeing, like, you know, James is mentioning a lot of people are stepping forward.
Now more people are coming forward.
I think the point is they're realizing this point.
And this point is, did you think when, and this is figurative or literal, depending on how you want to take it, if you're a person of faith or not, did you think the devil,
when offering you a deal, would only offer you luxury instead of necessity it's it's an absurd
proposition a deal with the devil isn't how would you like an infinity pool and a golden statue of
yourself because people don't care about those things the deal with the devil is always how
would you like your children to have full bellies every night serve me on your
knees and i will make sure your children are fed yeah and so i understand the terrifying nature of
the the faustian deal but so many people when i when i heard this from owen schreier about the
prison guards i'm like those guards saying i know your work i like what you do i'm just doing my job
what they are telling you is i signed the devil's contract. I think a lot of people though are,
it's like Eric Bataxas and I were talking,
it's like acid in your heart.
And it's like, I want, I need to keep my job.
Well, you can, Eric says,
you can keep your job and go to hell.
And about my children.
And again, I don't have children
and I can't fully empathize,
but I would say your children are gonna respect you.
You're gonna respect you more if you do the right thing.
Maybe not.
I'll be honest.
I'm not sitting here to pretend that it's easy in any way.
It's probably the hardest imaginable thing.
Again, I don't have kids.
I respect that.
And your kids may not understand.
See, I think it's the hardest imaginable thing, but you're stronger having gone through it.
I think your kids will respect you when they're older and they fully understand the sacrifices made. I mean, when I look back at the founding

Bet MGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement
with iGaming Ontario. We had literally no reason to revolt. No, no, no, hold on. Like there's a lot
of grievances they listed, but these were grievances as leaders and they were upset about
what was being done to their communities and the future for their children. When I said they had
no reason, I'm saying these guys could have kissed the pinky ring of the king and been wealthy and wanted for nothing but they saw that the crown was abusive they saw that the regulars
were abusive they saw farmers being killed and they said we will not sit idly by in our luxury
and comfort we will risk our sacred honor our treasure our blood our families and they did
and that is inspiration that is respect and ben franklin lost basically what are you gonna say
the thing is they believe that there was a better option for their children and so
this argument of like well i have kids i need to provide for them is completely reasonable i
understand that fear on the other hand if you are helping a company that is ultimately preaching a
world that is destructive what are you leaving for your children to grow up in i just i like
just to hammer and reiterate the reason why i think james o'keefe is is seeing so
many people stand up is that they've realized when the the this is the deal with the devil of course
it's going to help your family of course your kids will eat food and you are scared about what
happens that the the the deal will never just be to give you a convertible because think about the bargaining power of of
of again figurative or literal the devil comes to you with a bar with a deal what leverage does he
have to say i can give you a ferrari or an infinity pool none you're gonna be like i'm gonna give you
my soul for wealth what does that mean to me then he goes and says your children will die unless you
sign in blood my contract they say i will sign i will do anything you say that's right that's right i mean it's a
that elon kind of rejected that premise a few weeks ago didn't he with with disney
he's here right blackmail me with money and i think that's that's the person go after yourself
that's the personification of this movement i mean whistleblowing you know it's it's uh uh
people people going against the idea of a social contract, people inside the corporation,
the presence of the outside on the inside.
These people are, again, Tim, I've never seen anything like this.
I mean, I would be perusing my DMs for a week and I might get a couple interesting, I work
inside this company, but it's just like clockwork.
And I think it's Elon.
I think it's X. I think it's X.
I think it's the platform people.
I can't believe that people in the government
are just sliding into my DMs.
I'm like, dude, at least use Signal or something
but they'll just DM me on Instagram
and be like, I work for the DHS.
That's good.
You know why?
Why is that?
Because people are no longer scared.
Right.
The mentality is we have broken the dam. We are winning. We are winning culturally and I will no longer scared. Right. The mentality is we have broken the dam.
We are winning.
We are winning culturally and I will no longer serve evil.
Do you think any of it has to do with the timing of the election?
Like there is one year left.
Might as well come forward now.
I don't think it's.
There's one year left.
Isn't that crazy?
I don't just.
I don't think you just mean about Biden's presidency.
I think.
Who knows what I mean.
Whether it's a year away or a year and three months away.
No, something is happening.
It might be the Elon thing. Elon speech to disney it's a confluence of events um but the
ibm story we did i've never seen the ceo of ibm there was was on tape saying some things he
shouldn't have said about asians and then he gets on an all-staff call with ibm he says
no this james o'keefe video do not respond to the video. Do not give a reaction, everyone.
And then that was leaked to me by 10 people.
So, and they can't fire.
They can't fire.
They can whack them all one person.
But if you have 118 leaks, it's actually impossible for HR with an IBM to do anything about it.
Your ship is just thinking.
Your ship is, I mean, exactly.
You got water coming out of this hole, hole there's nothing they can do yeah you know it when a dam breaks it usually is pretty destructive and when like a sieve if you sieve a balloon and it
pops that's essentially the pretty powerful explosive force seemingly do you are you
concerned with what might happen if these corporations rupture from the inside or i
think it's happening and i've been thinking about this.
I'm kind of a victim of my own success.
I'm trying to figure out how to manage this dam breaking
and how it can be leveraged for good.
I mean, it's always been a crisis of conscience with the whistleblower
because you have to betray your colleagues, your corporation, your employer
for the public's right to know the information.
And now it seems people are so fed up, so fed up, like with this immigration thing I was just
talking about here, people getting, you know, refugees, everyone's a refugee crossing the
border, here's a free airplane ticket, no security, go fly somewhere, and now you can vote and buy a
gun. I mean, it's just, I mean, it's so, it's so crazy, it's like an SNL satire, that perhaps the
American people saying, I can't do this.
Pilots saying and talking to Ashley.
You should talk to Ashley, too.
She's inundated with pilots.
Are they going to stop flying the airplanes?
I remember back when the mandates were on.
Pilots were also a lot.
A lot of pilots are starting to stand up.
I think what we are seeing over the past several years, culturally, we are winning more and more people.
I mean, simply look at Donald Trump's polling.
OK, Trump is not a saint.
Trump is not your hero.
But a singular reflection, a nexus point of the sentiment of the people, people who did not vote in 2020 swing heavily towards Donald Trump. That indicates that a lot of people, and again, I'm not saying Trump is a saint, but a lot
of people are apprised of what is happening to this country and the world.
And this is also indicative of more whistleblowers, more people stepping up, more people refusing
to play ball in the machines game.
It feels like, in a way, it feels like people that are like, I've had enough of this system.
Let's expose it and call it out.
It's kind of like that moment in Indiana Jones where he's about to take the idol off the thing,
but they don't have a bag of sand to put on.
They just take the idol.
Like, they're like, I'm done with it.
I just can't imagine being a, like, 18-year-old voter this year, right?
When you're 10 to, like, middle school, whatever, life is pretty good.
Gas pressure down.
Trump's in office.
Then you hit 14.
COVID. Biden says all kinds of crazy stuff. He falls down constantly. We're on the brink of war
in like three different places. And then you're 18 and you're like, I don't want to vote for this
guy again. This is bad. Well, the majority of whistleblowers in the 20th century, I think,
suffered in obscurity. And this Jeffrey Wigand is a great example. That was a 60 Minutes guy
who blew the whistle on nicotine, big tobacco. And his marriage ended, his mortgage ended.
He was sued.
He had security death threats.
But the reverse effect is now happening.
It's not the whistleblower who's being targeted and subjected.
There's this weird inversion that is happening.
It's the guy who's the CEO of IBM who's now being subjected to online comments and who's
facing pressure so there's this inversion in the power and the social pressures are actually like
with dei and now we have this new uh tim you've pulled up this graphic let me pull up this story
uh a tweet from james o'keefe james do you want to uh uh read this out explain what's going on
yeah so this is a you're looking at here i don't think anyone has reported this, at least our team has not been able to find this on the internet.
If I stand corrected, let me know.
This is breaking news from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
This week, you're looking at a ticket counter piece of paper.
This is given to immigrants, illegal immigrants, coming in the United States.
They ship them from different parts of Arizona to a welcome center, a school in Phoenix.
And then they're picked up in limousines.
I'm not making this up.
Black cars.
That's an inside joke.
Black cars.
By the way, did you know nonprofits are not allowed to hire black cars?
It's against IRS rules. But these nonprofits, yes, I'm just making a joke.
Project Veritas joke there.
So these immigrants are picked up in black cars and dropped off at the airport.
And these are documents that were given to me by various airport insiders.
It says, quote, please help me print my boarding pass.
I am a refugee and I do not speak the language.
Thank you.
We've redacted the confirmation number there to protect the insider at the airport.
And a lot of these immigrants are not from Mexico. They're from all different countries across the world.
The government claims it's vetting these individuals prior to putting them up on planes. But we're reporting that a lot of the insider's tips contradict that. We found that
agents responsible for vetting the identification are relying solely on their word and they don't
speak English. So it's fascinating here, Tim. And just to backtrack for a minute for the audience,
I was outside this airport. The airline insiders confronted me. Oh my gosh, James O'Keefe,
you have to help us. Every 30 minutes, the buses pull up.
I interviewed the bus driver.
He said he was with a company called Jet Limousines.
And then we were able to figure out where they pick these people up.
It's at a welcome center in Phoenix, Arizona.
And they hire these car services to drop them off at the airports.
And they're shipped across the country, New Jersey, New York, and places like that.
And technically, I think you would call that smuggling them across the country you might you might call that smuggling wonder attack i followed up with marianne williamson last night
whose brother we talked about immigration a bit and her brother does immigration uh he's a lawyer
and and said that her brother said that each of these individuals should be receiving what's
called a credible fear interview and if you cannot establish that they have legitimate, credible fear, you send them back immediately.
You cannot take people in.
We haven't done that for years, right?
The thing about the border is that this has been an issue for decades and every political party has flip-flopped it.
Bill Clinton in his 1995 State of the Union address said every American should be concerned about the number of illegal immigrants coming across the border.
And instead, we just left a broken system to get worse and worse and worse.
No wonder airline pilots and all sorts of community members are frustrated by this.
I just think it's really funny that this like turning point sent all of these conservative
people to Arizona while this was happening.
And everyone in the airport was noticing this.
Right.
I mean, that was the thing.
Ashley was there for it.
You were there for that.
Now, hold on.
Our crew who flew through Chicago on their way saw the same thing in chicago so we before even
getting to tp usa we're getting messages from our crew being like hey we're on a plane it's all
illegal immigrants like all they've got the bags that and i'm and we're like wow and then they're
being dropped off in chicago so this is I get hundreds of these messages from people and say, I can't say who they are.
Hey, this is my throwaway account.
I set up a fake ex.
Don't reveal my name so I don't get in trouble.
But I know the location that we drop off migrants
from Nogales, Tucson, Yuma here in Phoenix.
So they all can go to Phoenix Sky Harbor.
And they drop them off at this school,
this welcome center,
this school now turned welcome center.
We get hundreds of people coming in.
And anyway, I'm going back to Phoenix to follow up on this
because this is a fascinating story.
And they have all these car companies that they hire.
I'm trying to figure out who's doing this.
Is it the feds, the state?
There's a lot more.
Who's paying for it?
Who's paying for it?
And by the way, one more thing about this, Tim, this whistleblowing.
Let me just add that there's nowhere for these people to actually,
these insiders to go.
Obviously, they can't go to the New York Times.
Yep.
Because they'll hunt those people down like a trophy buck and print their real name.
But there's no one.
You got to have guts to publish these stories, you know?
And citizen journalism here.
I think it is not hyperbole to say the 2024 election is or is the last election.
We got the next one.
No, I mean, in terms of what this country is, this is it.
However, however, only if Joe Biden or the Democrats win.
I don't think it's hyperbolic. When you look at what's going on, the federal government has been facilitating the.
Mass illegal migration into this country to the point where black residents in Chicago are on video right now screaming.
This is no joke.
An elderly black man got up at a meeting and said, Trump, get in here and clean this mess up.
I'm like, wow.
When the Chicago black community is so fed up with the
abuse they're yelling for a republican that's how bad it's gotten if the democrats win in 2024
we will not survive four more years of 10 000 plus illegal immigrants every day what is your
hypotheses that are they going to let let uh them vote or what do you think that you mentioned
something so in boston recently uh boston recently passed a bill for non-citizens to vote new york has had similar provisions uh
cities in california have had similar provisions yes we are we are marching towards we are a couple
years away if the democrats win non-citizens illegal immigrants will will be slowly granted
voting powers and they're all considered refugees because they can just claim that i guess anybody can claim to be a refugee i probably should go to mexico and just slide i mean this
is dangerous but wear a hidden camera and just go across the border in disguise and just go through
the whole process that would be a good idea if we have any brave people that want to sign up on the
omg website what would happen if the u.s brought in 15 million illegal immigrants mostly fighting age males and then
just load them up on boats and shipped them off to like the taiwan's like to taiwan and been like
okay now you defend this place but democrats would never let that happen because we use illegal
immigrants to throw off the census data right remember when trump was like i would like the
immigration status to be on the census and citizenship status and they were like absolutely
not that's crazy You're so racist.
Well, I wonder why, right?
Like this is something that is the only reason
someone would allow for this to happen
is if they benefit from it in some way.
And that's the issue here, right?
All of the illegal immigrants,
especially those who are actually, you know,
smuggled, brutalized, brought across
in really dangerous and restrictive, terrible conditions.
I mean, there was a story two months ago about a shipping container full of, I think it was
60 people who were all dead.
They were being trafficked across the border.
This is a brutal problem for everyone involved, right?
I don't think you should cross into the country illegally.
But I also think that by incentivizing illegal migrations, by saying, if you get here, we'll
just put you on an airplane and send you wherever you want to go.
We are making all kinds of people take crazy risks that we shouldn't encourage.
I think it could happen that a bunch of 15 million immigrants come across illegally and
then get shipped off to Taiwan to defend the island or to the Ukraine to defend Ukraine.
But then they'd still get their census tally at whatever state they were in before they got
shipped out. And then they get their citizenship if they survive.
If you're an illegal immigrant, you put in state. This is one of one of the issues right so if you come across the board illegally they'll say you
have a court date it's in three years from now but then you never go to that court date so i don't
know how we would then recall all of the people we allowed in illegally you'd have to immediately
send them and we aren't good at that we'd rather send them wherever they want to go in the u.s
i tend to keep this pretty i keep my reporting pretty factual without making judgments. How do you handle, I do see about 20% of comments, you know, the kind of the empathy people have for these poor people who are in a horrible place just trying to have a better life.
How do you deal with that talking point from people?
These poor people want to have a better life?
Yeah, that type of thing you get.
I welcome them with open arms.
I hope every poor person in the world who wants to come to America comes to America through the legal process properly.
Right.
And that legal process means it might take them 20 years, but they're all welcome to apply and join our community done right.
Why?
You get this talking point, like Marianne Williamson said the other day, migrants are a boost to the economy.
And like, yes, you are absolutely correct when managed properly
right when they when we bring migrants in like we did she says how many of your grandparents you
know were migrants and i'm like right when they arrived on ellis island and said now we will
integrate and we will assimilate and be like the americans that's not what they're doing today
today they're cutting the razor wire saying everybody quick run and they're dumping these
people in chicago where they have nowhere to go and now chicago's like we're going to build mass camps okay look what
do you call large camps and i mean this is a literal question not a rhetorical one what do
you call large camps where they house a part like a political faction of people you know the problem
is i don't want to say concentration camp because everyone just immediately thinks nazi germany
i am not arguing for prison or death camps but quite literally they are going to create You know, the problem is I don't want to say concentration camp because everyone just immediately thinks Nazi Germany.
I am not arguing for prison or death camps, but quite literally, they are going to create migrant detention camps.
These people are being shipped in Chicago and they're putting up their building fences. And I think one of them got delayed, but they're putting them in schools.
They're putting the police stations out.
If Trump wins in 2024, I can already tell you what 2025 is going to look like
donald there's going to be videos of people being loaded up on the trains
onto buses and sent to camps for deportation and the left is going to screech like banshees
he's hitler it's happening again heaven's me quick everyone take up your arms they want it's it's it's
4d chess across the board right
everybody is playing some advanced strategy of victory lawsuits are being prepared and what
we're seeing today will have massive impacts in the next two or three years and longer obviously
throughout the history of this country or what's left of it but what's being done today there is
a plan for what comes next yeah i i told you guys this i think you and michael malice the other
night i einstein when the nazis were coming to power he saw it early and got out of the country
and fled to the united states and people have already fled the u.s i am i'm feeling that right
now and i don't like that but that is what i feel and what i see is like yo if mass illegal
immigration record high inflation world wars all popping up all over the place.
The people arresting their political opponents like, OK, guys, and I don't want to blackpill you and I don't want to give up on this wonderful constitution we got.
But what does the country even mean? Is it the land that you live on? Is it the constitution that's bit?
Is it the people that are running the military? Like what is this country?
I mean, that's the question, right? I don't know
where you would like to go if you were to leave the U.S. One of the El Salvador, El Salvador,
maybe. I mean, there are interesting places. One of the issues is countries are built on a sense
of patriotism and a sense of community and loyalty. Right. And so you would theoretically
want to stay and fix it. On the other hand, I understand the instinct to be like, it's just going up in flames.
I need to leave.
And I think that there are people who immigrated to the U.S. from their own countries, legally
immigrated here, who made the same decision.
And I wonder what their conversation is like right now.
Do we stay in the U.S. where we went for a better life or try and fix it?
I met a guy at MGM National Harbor playing poker.
And, you know, you're at the poker table
you're you're shooting a shit you're talking and he mentioned he was from el salvador and i was like
oh i hear it's uh i hear it's getting really really good down there this was a few months ago
and he goes yeah actually my family's moving back you're going back to el salvador he's like yeah
crime is way down the economy is doing really well so my family wants to go home and better to be a
poor farmer than a metal in the politics how is the first amendment in El Salvador? I don't know the politics of that.
Did they have a –
No, no.
Article III courts protect the First – I think it's a very important thing in the United States.
I think the issue is not about the Constitution and the First Amendment.
When we had free speech in the 70s, they still arrested George Carlin for swearing.
The issue is do you have good leaders and so my view is i i i i believe that naib
bukele would respect legitimate journalistic endeavors who's that he's the current president
although i'm not going to pretend to know enough about the the government functions and guaranteed
rights they the the corporate press united states argued that he was a despot for arresting all
these gang members and cartel members and things like that.
But, you know, spare me.
These people are – the New York Times are grotesque monsters.
I mean, I think that's the next – that's one of the tests that we're going to find here in this year is the limits of the First Amendment.
Because you talk about camps in Chicago.
That may be true.
But if that is true, I guarantee you there's going to be video inside of there and things leaking like a sieve.
We're going to get so much information.
I think what you're going to see this year is going to be horrible.
That's the bad news.
The good news is all the horrible things will be captured on video and leaked to the world.
But my concern is deepfakes.
What's coming up?
See, everyone always talks about AI.
And if I knew the solution about AI, I'd be a billionaire because everyone wants to know the solution to AI.
But I think the discipline of verification has been a thing that's been there for 100 years.
You have to check things out.
You have to verify.

the a year and a half ago i made a deep fake of nancy pelosi and it was a grotesque disgusting
picture and it was hilarious a year later ai is so good you can make a photorealistic picture
of nancy pelosi When it comes to video,
verification is not the issue. And I'll tell you, I'll give you the example.
Donald Trump stands up at a rally and says, you had very fine people on both sides. And I am not
talking about the white supremacists because they should be condemned totally. We know that video,
we know the media manipulated and cut out of context to what Trump said. He said, I am not white supremacists because they should be condemned totally. We know that video. We know
the media manipulated and cut out of context what Trump said. He said, I am not talking about the
Nazis and the white nationalists. They should be condemned totally. The deepfake issue is not going
to be a video of Donald Trump saying something racist. The deepfake video I'm scared of is Donald
Trump saying almost 90, 99 percent verbatim what he did say. But what they'll do is they'll change it.
So whereas Trump actually said, and they should be condemned totally.
The deep fake version will go.
Some of them should be condemned totally.
And then no one will know which one is the original video because they're near identical.
The left will say some of them should be condemned.
Oh, man, he's saying some of the Nazis are good.
And then you'll argue.
No, no, no.
He didn't actually say some of the deep fake fake no you're lying you made the deep fake
trump was defending them right biden already launched his campaign off that lie and so that's
one example of the fear a single word being changed i see and it will be weaponized and
there's no verification of it also like a presidential address could be deep fact do
you guys remember when Jim Acosta
tried ripping the mic
out of the hand
of that White House aide?
And the country was split.
Half of people were like,
she tried ripping the mic
from Jim Acosta's hand.
And then the other half
was like,
Acosta tried ripping the mic
from her hand.
And no one knew for sure.
I think it's fair to say.
And there were all these
deep analysis videos
drawing lines
and like figuring it out. It's fairly obvious that Jim Acosta was was pulling the mic to try and he was trying to hold it and she was she was she grabbed it and then he jerked to try and pull it back from her because he was trying to yell at Trump. But either way, you have a video and no one agrees what happened. Yeah, but to kind of quote George Carlin when he talked about the world plus plastic,
there'll be a new paradigm
where that will be what you just described
will be happening to everyone.
And if that is true that don't to Trump,
then both sides will do it.
You mentioned something about Pelosi.
So there'll just be a new paradigm
where people will distrust things a little more perhaps.
And journalism is all about trust.
And who do you trust? i still i still stand by
my statement the discipline of verification is something that existed before video i mean people
in newspapers report according to people familiar with the matter and they're reporting anonymously
sourced statements that we don't have video of right so don't those journalism rules apply to
this new era when everything is questionable people will simply choose what confirms their bias.
Okay.
So with these, with deep fakes getting as good as they are, yeah, you're going to say,
oh, hold on.
Was Trump even really at that rally?
And then you'll pull up the video and you'll be like, okay, Trump really was there.
Did he actually say this?
There's two versions of the same event.
You imagine a riot and then they deep fake somebody into the riot and then that person
gets arrested for being at the riot.
January 6th photos like that.
Yes.
Oh, dude, let me let me ask you, has this is the reality of politics and a low trust
talking about a post-truth society.
We are there.
If if a police officer says you broke the law, you did.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I was you.
You go to court and you get a speeding ticket and you say, Your Honor, I wasn't speeding. The cop says, Your the law, you did. Good luck. Good luck. You go to court and you get
a speeding ticket and you say, your honor, I wasn't speeding. The cop says, your honor, he was
speeding. Guess what? You lose. That's it. I mentioned to you in Miami at the event that we
did, the IRL event, that I thought O'Keefe Media Group, a cool thing to do would be to build some
technology that can identify deep fakes because you've got the trust and that would be cool coming
from you and your organization or an organization that you work with.
I think trust is critical.
Journalistic trust, they trust me.
Why?
Because of what I've been through.
There are other people they trust too.
But I think that's critical.
And I think, I don't know enough about technology
to build that, but it's a good idea.
But I also think here's one thing they can't fake.
The person on the inside going public,
the courageous thing.
That can't be a fake.
If someone says, I work for the IRS, the lowest learner, or I work for the FBI, or I work for this institution.
And you know what?
I'm jumping on a grenade for my country.
That's a real thing, isn't it?
And then there's a reaction from the institution.
There's always, well, you could.
Counter Intel ops and things like that.
There is.
There is.
I mean, there is.
I mean, you're talking about a totally fake world.
We're totally post.
I'm a little bit more of an optimist.
I believe there is one truth.
I agree with verified through multiple sources.
Like if one guy sends you a video of a nut,
I mean,
he basically acts as if he's someone else.
Let me just tell me how many,
how many people think you are a far right?
They've been saying that for 20 years,
but I've stopped using those words recently.
They say a doctor tapes.
Tim, they used to 10 years ago.
Right.
Remember that?
He's the tape doctor.
He doctors the tape.
I'm like, can you just name one?
By the way, I have no money.
I'm using Final Cut 7.
I wish I knew how to.
They said with the Acorn story that I put CGI
to make the people's lips move.
I'm like, I don't even know how to put the
font other than Curry or New. But the last 24 hours of my life, here's what I did. I had people
message me from JetLimo, another JetLimo, five sources, and I was corroborating the information
I had by talking to multiple sources inside the company to verify that guy was the real person's
name. This is what journalists do. They verify information by getting multiple accounts
of the version of events to ensure
that the thing that they're looking at is real.
I think that's what ethical journalists do.
But no one does that anymore.
That's what I mean.
Nobody has the time and it's laziness, it's incompetence.
It's a lack of, usually it's economics.
But my point is that video of me talking to the bus driver, if that wasn't my video, which
it was, but he said, I work for Jet Limousine.
I do facecheck.id.
I find his picture online.
There's his LinkedIn.
I talked to his colleague.
I talked to his boss.
Then I published the video.
So I verified that the video that I've taken is real.
And that doesn't, you're right.
That doesn't happen anymore on social media.
I feel like, and maybe I'm biased, but like conservative, moderate journalists would maybe
take all those steps.
But someone who is trying to smear someone says, I don't care if it's not real.
In fact, I would prefer if you do not follow up with me at all, do not see that I have
not.
Or they paint, or they paint, New York Times reporters paint this elaborate using words like document show how far the conservative group would go to not run afoul of the law.
Another way of saying that is we check with our lawyers to make sure what we do is legal, but they make it worded in such a way.
Or like this person who has been accused of doctoring tapes based on some random blog post from the internet that is also not verified, that has no backup's right site that it's just repeating the lie making it bigger i mean it's the idea of
like basically being a google felon right false information reported about you that becomes part
of the circularly sourced information right yes wikipedia if you got a video and they're like
this guy said this racist stuff at the company this this executive and then it it turns out to
be a deep fake yeah yeah i see what you're saying how do you verify that i mean how one of the ways you verify it
for example is getting it from two different sources from two different angles and you know
there are different ways i mean there's no hard and fast there's no hard and fast rule on how to
verify the thing but i tell my reporters if you put a gun to your mother's head are you 100 sure
that that that that's true before you report it?
And that's the standard.
And Tim, I mean, it's a good point.
It's worth discussing.
I just, I think there's got to be a way in this post-truth world to verify that what you're looking at is real.
There are people who care about the truth and want to know and will verify.
And I think those are the people who are on our side.
Yeah, they'll be contacting you.
And then there are mindless zealots who don't care. I mean, did hassan piker's response to ashley st claire no i i didn't he made
this ridiculous low iq tweet where he was like oh my god foreigners are flying on planes how could
this possibly happen oh my god send help and all of his fans are laughing and clapping for him
because it's it like when you got mindless drones who don't know or don't care
there there there are two kinds of people in this world i mean the truth is there's like a ton of
different kinds of people but right now you've got the people who are more independently minded
and they're they're wondering what am i doing and is it right and then you have the other group that
says i just want to have the pitchfork and be in the mob that's it yeah i think 2024 it's the year
to focus on the people that care about the truth.
And the other people are just going to be friction.
Let me pull up the story here from Politico.
Trump allies and MAGA luminaries move to kill off the Haley for VP buzz.
Haley's rise has prompted speculation she'd be a logical running mate for Trump.
This is fake news.
This is an absolutely fake story.
And I'm willing to bet that these two people who wrote it fabricated
it through clever manipulation what i mean by that is you take a morsel of truth and you can
make it mean whatever you want it to mean you can make it convey whatever you want to convey
take a look at this the fervent effort to kill off haley's veep buzz before it truly takes off
has come from the former as the former un ambassador and ex-south carolina governor is
gaining momentum in the republican primary it has prompted speculation should be a logical choice as a running mate for Trump, who has maintained a wide polling lead, blah, blah, blah.
Her eyes has caught the attention of the former president, who has recently quizzed people outside his campaign for their impressions of Haley.
According to three people familiar with the conversation, quote, what do you think of Nikki?
Trump had asked. It's not unusual for Trump to survey donors outside, outside advisors and members of his Mar-a-Lago resort on personnel matters.
He's also blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
What do they say?
He pressed allies for the impressions of other Republicans, etc., etc.
But Haley has been the subject of his most recent focus.
Haley's polling surges alarm some staunch Trump confidants who are acutely aware the former president pays close attention to survey data, et cetera, et cetera. So they're referencing during a phone conversation with one ally about Haley, Trump indicated that he was aware of the
criticisms of her, but nonetheless wanted to get this person's take, but the former ambassador,
according to a person familiar with the call, here's what likely really happened. Donald Trump
probably called someone and said, yeah, I'm hearing a lot of people in the media talking about it.
We, how are you doing?
These journalists then say the reason why Trump is not quoted here.
If someone truly came to them, three people apparently familiar with this call, you'd think they would go.
Donald Trump said, in fact, there is an earlier quote.
What do you think of Nikki?
Trump had asked, where's the rest of what he said?
Why?
Because they don't want to get sued.
Right. So I always explain this people the
media will lie when they ask you for when they ask you for a quote no matter what you say they
will find a way to make it the narrative they want for example a journalist contacts james o'keefan
says we're gonna write a story about you it's a profile i'm curious what's your take on dogs
and then james says i love dogs i think dogs are fantastic who
doesn't love dogs and they'll go oh that's a quote we can't run i got an idea when asked about whether
james o'keefe liked dogs he asked an intriguing question seemingly confused indicating in fact
he may not actually like dogs at all when they don't use quotes they're lying to you well this
like what do you think of hayley they don't say really anything other than it's on this supposed call.
I mean, it could you could easily pull it from like a rally.
Like, what if Trump walked out of rallying was like, what do you guys think of Nikki Haley?
And they all booed, right?
Like, this could even be this anything.
It's so random.
Trump could have been on the phone with Steve Bannon.
Who knows?
And then he's like, yeah, I saw what tucker said about haley as if anyone
actually cares what do you think about haley as if anyone's going to ask that question and they
run that quote specifically out of context to make it seem like donald trump actually wants
what do you think of haley she i think she's about to cancel her campaign said trump he might
have said he might have said uh i've heard a bunch of criticism about her what do you think about her
the way i look guys like i don't know and he think about her? The way I look at this. The guy's like, I don't know.
And he's like, all right.
The way I look at this is a journalism professor said many years ago, he said, the way you
deal with these is every time they use these.
So this is anonymously sourced here, according to people familiar with the matter.
The way I see it is that you need more of your stories to produce actual evidence.
Like over 51% should be documents or video.
But this is like the New York Times
is usually 95 to 100% anonymously.
Random garbage.
So it's like taking money out of an ATM.
I have to deposit into my bank account
because I'm withdrawing upon my own journalistic credibility.
If I'm gonna say,
trust me by virtue of the decree that I'm to be trusted.
Tim's right.
I have no reason to trust those two guys.
Check it out
story i'll give you i'll give you a an example of what may have happened let's say that quote
from trump is real so trump's on the phone uh after uh the last gop debate and he goes man
ron's campaign is not doing too well uh i'm seeing he's down in the polls and then they're like yep
he he is crashing and burning and then trump, I think they're all crashing and burning.
What do you think about Haley?
They take that quote and turn it into Donald Trump was curious about Haley as a VP pick
because he asked, what do you think about Haley?
It could have been in the context of him mocking the failure of other campaigns.
We don't know.
And I get this emails all the time, the very last second, or even like while they're publishing
the story, they send me the New York Times sends you this whole thing.
And I call them up on the phone and record it and they hang up the phone i'm trying i mean i well here's a tactic that you should do if you ever get asked for comment by the
media um uh publish your statement to your entire audience before they go to air their story there's
nothing they can do because you've made it clear, okay, world, here is my response.
Now, I have a pretty large following.
Many people don't, but that's what Trump could do.
But I think the challenge, I agree, but the challenge is Politico knows our audience doesn't care about Politico articles.
That's true.
And the people who read Politico are low information individuals.
No, Tim, your point about the world being segmented where you're only playing to your audience is a very good point and i get that it's not just only to your audience it's
you know the the side that we are on is not the quote-unquote right you can call whatever you
want i don't think it is i think it's just good and evil true and false at this point yes agreed
they call you right wing but you don't come out and and and advocate policy no never you're like here here's
a here's a politician saying a thing and they're like aha he's right wing it's like oh hold on
if he was coming out saying i'm opposed to these policies in favor of these policies so vote for
this person i have opinions on politics all day every day yeah so if they want to accuse me of
something fine i get it but but i think it is the liars, the top-down control, and the ignorant versus those who want freedom, meritocracy, honesty, truth, etc.
Yeah, I try to keep it very factual, actually.
There's plenty of facts.
There's plenty of factually things to say, but that's fascinating.
I love this sort of master class and going through an article.
And one of the things that they also do is they'll send me an article and say, please comment.
And then I'll give them a comment that's quite
material to the circumstance and they'll say
James O'Keefe did not respond to
what we was asked about. Well, it's like, print
what I said.
If you really want to have fairness, which is
all these journalists do, but
I think
it's a great exercise going through this like you're doing.
I think if journalists, maybe if they want to get comments
from now on, it should be live.
The comments should be live.
It should all be on a chat thing on a website where it happens in real time.
You can't talk to them.
Look, if they come to you and like, again, using the dog analogy, if they said, do you support the working class?
And you go, absolutely. I support the working class.
Instead of writing your quote, they'll say,
Ian sarcastically mocked working class people
and asked if he supported them.
And you'll be like, no, I didn't.
I said I supported them.
And they'll be like, yeah, sarcastically.
Yeah, I think the age of relying on someone else
to represent you is over, man.
You got to represent yourself.
I mean, one of the other issues is that
if you feel like you can't talk to the press, right?
They'll go to the person who will feel like
they can talk to them,
which is typically someone who feels like
they have a friendly relationship with the publication.
So you're getting a biased viewpoint
because someone who's like,
I don't trust you.
You're always trying to represent me in a negative way.
You're always saying I hate the working class, whatever.
They're ultimately going to pull away.
And so the narrative becomes more insulated that way.
Yeah.
One of the things that they do is they call themselves credible.
There was one story we did.
So Anderson Cooper, this guy from the Washington Post, Jacob Bagaj is his name.
He literally looks like Humpty Dumpty.
He's got his oval face.
And Bagaj says, well, Anderson, we're credible journalists.
So they say we're credible sources.
So they rely upon this virtue that they've assigned to themselves that they are credible by virtue of their own decree that they are that way.
And their anonymously sourced stuff is permitted to contradict incontrovertible evidence.
And that's why I go back to this trust thing.
It's just the experts, the credible sources. But you're making a good point. Is incontrovertible evidence incontrovertible?
Because it could be a deepfake.
Well, I think the issue is you're right about verification.
Our side will always appreciate verification, sourcing, and will seek out those they can trust, those who are willing to admit they're wrong.
I hate saying that it's our, but there is a group of people.
It's a way of behavior. It's a way of behavior it's a
way of behavior and then values there are people who look this is why we like marian williamson
and when we're grateful that she came on because she is a good person and i believe she's an honest
person she uh openly talked about her views but she gets her news from bad sources not anymore
not after last night. marion's source of information is that she's likely hearing second-hand opinions from someone
who watched cnn and msnbc whereas james is actually recording people saying the words
yeah and publishing them she then hears her friend go oh james o'keefe fabricated that video and she
goes wow then when she gets to know political debate someone says didn't you see the video
from james oKeefe?
I shouldn't say Marianne,
but the liberal will then go, he fabricated that.
What are you talking about?
There are going to be a substantial minority of people
whose minds have actually been changed.
Like I hired this guy named Jason Watkins.
He's a professor at ASU Journalism School, Tim.
He teaches journalism at the Cronkite School.
He used to be a leftist.
His mind was actually changed.
I'm not, am I making this up?
I might call you.
People think, oh, that's insane.
There are people who actually do change their minds.
And if 5% or 1%, let's just call it 1% of people
change their minds or their hearts,
then one would even argue if one person changes their mind
that you've made a difference.
So I don't think you need to affect the majority of people.
And of course,
there's people say that's fake thing,
but you know,
all right,
here we go.
Not being angry too,
is a real big part.
I bet the founding fathers weren't angry guys.
They strike me as like really level headed.
No,
some of them were super angry,
but it's,
it's,
it's a mixed bag.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to pull this tweet here.
Let's roll.
Will Chamberlain tweeted out a quote from nikki haley in 2020 saying we should
all stand with bubba wallace today against the cowards who secretly put the noose in his garage
stall watch your back cowards bubba has a bigger army than you do cringe well we all know about
nikki haley's cringe but will chamberlain said meet trump's vp pick i responded i'll bet you
one thousand dollars he doesn't pick haley will chamberlain replies give
me four to one odds and you're on my response if trump picks haley i'll give you four thousand
dollars if he picks anyone else you give me one thousand dollars will responded and if it's a it's
a push if trump doesn't win win the nod if so deal and i said let's get it bets on and he said all
right bet i am so confident i actually
don't know if it's a real bet or we're just joking to be completely honest no it's real it's in
writing yeah contract i mean the world's gonna hold you to it like for for sure for sure uh like
and i'll stand by it if it is real but um i will may have been trolling and i'm goofing off but
you know in the end it'll be funny if when when Will comes on the show and then we can, you know, depending on what happens, if Trump doesn't or does, we'll resolve it.
But my point with this is not to actually say I want to bet cash. It's just that I'm so confident
Donald Trump will not pick Nikki Haley that I'm willing to make a bet. I'll have to talk to Will
and ask him if he was serious about it. But it's fun anyway. And I will, you know, if it is.
But I'm so confident that I'm not worried about four to one odds.
Yeah, the thing is, the Nikki Haley VP rumor, I feel like it's just the mainstream media trying desperately to say it has influence over the conservative primary or the Republican
primary.
I think ultimately we know that she is not the VP choice.
I obviously think I've said this a couple times on the show.
I think one of the mistakes we make is thinking that the only options for VP are the people
we see on the debate stage.
There's actually a much deeper deck of potential people anyone could pick from.
It doesn't just happen to be that who else has launched a presidential campaign.
But I think, you know, there's too much bad blood between Nikki Haley and Donald Trump.
And I don't think she would garner him any major support
anywhere he needs it is that like I didn't know they had bad blood did they not get along yeah
they've sniped each other a ton yeah he doesn't seem to enjoy working with people that he's sniped
with yeah I mean why would you right we're talking about trust all night tonight plus Tucker so this
is would you have taken 10 to 1 odds is what I want to know uh Tucker said on stage at turning
point he would actually advocate against that
ticket. If Trump picked Haley, he would say, do not vote for Trump. So I think Trump listens to
Tucker. That's why I'm on board. I don't think there's any chance in hell he's going to go with
Nikki Haley at this point. Tucker suggested he pick Vivek Ramaswamy. I also suggested that. I
think that he would be the right move. Ramaswamy said he wouldn't take a VP pick when he was here
with us when Seamus was on.
Yeah, that was a smart tactic. If you're running for president,
you shouldn't say I'll accept second place.
But realistically, I think that would be,
because I mean, whoever becomes VP
is probably going to be the next president.
I'd rather see Vivek go back to Ohio
and run for office there and do something interesting.
I mean, he's got so much energy.
I feel like in some ways being VP
would be too penned in for him.
Although in the age of social media
and he's a loud mouth in a good way,
like he would make a lot of noise in that office.
And I think Trump's, his life is liable.
Like if he tries to be president again,
it's a very dangerous place for his life.
Sure, and he's got a lot of civil cases going on.
I mean, there are a lot of things calling his attention.
So I would say that that VP role is probably more important now than it's been in my lifetime in 44 years.
That's probably the most likely that a VP would become president.
Which is why Charlie Kirk suggested it's the right move would be to make Tucker Carlson the VP.
And Tucker was humble about it.
But what do you think about that?
Tucker wanted Ian to be president, vice president.
Yeah, he agreed.
I thought I thought Charlie was talking about me.
Well, Charlie said who should be is the man sitting next to me. And was sitting and i was like oh well thank you charlie and tucker was like i'd vote for that
but do you think tucker is poor tucker no yeah do you think he'd be a good vpt do i think he'd be i
mean there's a difference between um journalism and governing but maybe he could do it i mean he
certainly got the popularity
and the people and the goodwill of people
and that's what you need.
Who do you think should be VP?
I don't have an opinion on the matter.
I actually think that Tim is very brave for placing bets
because I think all bets are off.
I think it's impossible to predict
what is going to happen.
I mean, if alien,
if flying saucer came through this window,
that would not surprise me right now.
I think all-
And Hunter Biden information would come out.
These are crazy.
To clarify, it's safe to tweet this because i will even said he was trolling uh a different tweet so i don't know if we act there's actually any actual real bet
i see i like we're good but my point is like like i would make the bet i don't know depending on
whatever but i need to actually ask will like did you really want to? I just think it's roulette.
And what are the laws on, like, making a bet like that?
I don't even know.
No.
You have to pay taxes.
Well, what if it's Monopoly money?
He can come on.
Yeah, no, because there are taxes for, like, you know, bet with your friends.
I don't know.
Maybe over a certain limit.
He said that when he was saying, when he said Trump was going to pick Nikki Haley, he was,
like, obviously trolling.
He said that.
Oh, okay.
Like, he's poking fun at Trump for the idea that he might pick Haley.
That Boba Wall tweet is awful.
It's so badly.
Can't be DeSantis.
It won't be DeSantis.
I think Tucker would be a good probably a good pick.
And I think he would accept if Trump asked him.
I think Charlie's right on that analysis.
You know, I think Tucker could help Trump win.
But you make a good point about journalism versus and commentary versus actual governance.
Being a good political leader, it's not about knowing the issues
that's a component of it it's about knowing how to navigate and i broke into the system really
like the vex move with strive his company that's divesting away from esg this is what turned me on
to him in the very beginning when i first met him i didn't know who he was tim interviewed him i
think it was charlie kirk studio and i was just like this guy knows how to solve the problem the
problem is black rock is trying to buy up the world, and he knows how to divest our resources away from BlackRock by not complaining.
He's creating a new system that we can go into.
For some reason, and I don't necessarily agree with this.
I'm just telling you what is the reality.
For some reason, the people don't trust Vivek, or they're're asking who is this person they many people in the midwest have said
what is he like he's like obama this very very very uh intelligent well-spoken guy but they
don't they just don't seem to trust him or know know him well enough like they for example trust
tucker that's that's the read i'm seeing by the way i i like most of what vivek says when i
interviewed vivek and him and i had great chemistry. I mean, he's ridiculously smart.
I like what he says.
He even understood what I do to a degree that most people don't.
But for some reason, the people don't seem to – do you see that?
They don't seem to like, who is this guy?
But I think that's because he sort of popped out of nowhere.
Well, don't throw the race card around.
We're too close to the end of the year.
No, I'm being serious.
He sort of popped out of nowhere.
I mean, a lot of people didn't know what his company did. He wrote his
book. It's all very fast. That's why I really do think if he were to be the governor of Ohio,
he can build this national name a little bit more, but also really take Ohio to an... I mean,
you're from Ohio, right? He could do so much for that state and also eventually launch another presidential bid.
I think it would be cool to see his beliefs
applied on a small scale first.
I think it would gain trust.
I think people would believe in him more.

I don't know if there's going to be another presidential election, and that's not even
a joke.
So, like, I really want the best right now.
And he, I agree with you that the trust in Vivek is it's vivek just in case vivek what
did i say vivek uh vivek vivek vivek yeah like vivek uh he came on he came in like an outsider
and like okay what's his politics stuff and you could see him talking and like not really sure
exactly like what how much should i say right away let's go and then as time went on i think
he became kind of a representative of what the people wanted from him and he started speaking massive truth to power yeah and people are like
whoa is this fake no he's doing what people want him to do christy line where he's like you sound
like chat gbt when you talk did you see that line it's actually i don't i'm not a huge chris
christy fan i thought it was kind of funny but it's just it's it's vivek gbt yeah vivek sounds
nothing like chat gbt right it's it was a it was ch GBT. Vivek sounds nothing like Chad GBT. Right?
It was Chris Christie is just such a pathetic failure of a man.
Donald Trump, more like Donald Duck.
And then he smirks like, bro, that didn't land.
And he's smiling like, I got him.
Well, they skipped.
There was like a whole section of that debate where they just skipped him.
He was so irrelevant.
I know, it was amazing.
Donald Duck.
If Trump keeps ducking the issues, they're going to call him Donald Duck.
Threw him on my mouth a little bit.
Yeah, I'm sold because of his economic policy, Vivek.
It's getting us away from BlackRock.
Because I'm not even concerned about the left-right paradigm, the Republicans, Democrats, any of that.
I'm concerned with global banks trying to take over and fascize this country.
It's been happening for 100 years.
I mean, you know the what's it called the
banker plot or the business plot they actually sydney uh or what's that general's name um
that they tried to get to overthrow the smedley butler smedley butler these these businessmen
went to smith according to smedley himself he blew the whistle on it uh they came to him and
tried to get him to stage a coup on uh fdr in like 1933 or something
these businessmen this fascist takeover and smedley was like no i i love the america i love
the first amendment and i'm not gonna do that and uh so those people those people that ethos still
exists in this country and they've been just doing it slowly incrementally they got us off the gold
standard you know they got the jackal. They got the Federal Reserve set up.
Jekyll Island. Yeah, we got to get away from these
bankers, this bankers union
thing and create a more reputable
country for the people.
Something with like local
trade. They don't want there to be country.
They want there to be world.
Yeah.
I'm open to that, but it's got to happen
judiciously.'m just gonna start referring
to they as the enclave you know because what they'll try to do is when when vivek says they
won't let you do it they're like aha he's an anti-semite no i'm not talking about jewish people
when i'm saying when we say they were talking about the the intelligence agencies the wealthy
corporate elites i mean should i call it the enclave i feel like if there was a cultural
if there is a cultural,
if there is a cultural war,
which there seems to be a cultural conflict,
that if we win, if the American ethos wins,
that people all over earth will overthrow their tyrannical governments
and create First Amendment rights and gun rights,
and they'll take control of their societies.
Guys, I've got bad news for you, okay?
You know, we can sit here,
talk about the importance of journalism
and fear about what's to come in 2024,
but the prophet of doom, a psychic,
has predicted cyber attacks,
natural disasters,
and a Russia-China alliance.
Well, and the prophet of doom says so.
I mean, look at this guy.
He knows.
So that's it.
That's it, boys.
Pack it in.
You may as well just flee to El Salvador
while you still can,
because we're here.
Who is this prophet of doom?
He claims to see into the future.
And he says that,
you know, there's going to be,
he's got some serious predictions.
Big floods will engulf London and Europe.
A new pandemic in Australia
and President Vladimir Putin
will trip off this mortal coil.
Coffee with Craig.
You know, it's really funny.
It's like we're kind of we're kind of making fun of this dude and everything.
But what if all this stuff actually came true?
Well, the global cyber attack, that doesn't actually feel like very specific of a prediction for me.
It's like being like there will be an election next year.
Like we know all sorts of countries have elections next year.
I wish they would have some more specific details.
The flood in London is kind of a bold choice. think right that is a bold choice i think the best way to go about this
would be to claim that a man from the future gave you uh uh access to information about what was
going to happen and uh that's what is going to happen unless because telling you changes
history it doesn't happen but then it's not my fault it's your fault actually it is interesting
that is a nice caveat to always be like well because i tried to save you you know
now now everything's going to be different i can't rely yeah that was uh do you guys remember john
teeter the it was a meme thing in like the 2000s a guy online posting on forums claiming to be from
the future and showing pictures of like light bending in a time machine and i think he was
saying that by 2008 the u.s would be fractured into four different countries and showing pictures of like light bending and a time machine and i think he was saying that
by 2008 the u.s would be fractured into four different countries and stuff but of course he
was like however that may not happen because i've altered the timeline oh there were some really
interesting and very intelligent things that he said that made people is he the one who said wow
he like he traveled through time to like three specific points in time he came back multiple
times to warn people about things
look at this he's got a he's got a look at this john teeter john teeter and time travel zero
pseudonyms used on internet forums between 2000 2001 by an individual claiming to be an american
military time travel from 2036 so you're saying in 13 years we got time travel their post discussed
various aspects of time travel and described future calamitous events including a global
nuclear war the uniform inaccuracy of their travel and described future calamitous events, including a global nuclear war.
The uniform inaccuracy of their predictions and inconsistencies in their explanations has led many to view the story with skepticism.
Wait, that was it?
I kind of think if a guy goes online and says I'm from the future, that instantly disqualifies it from being true.
But, okay, like, maybe there's a.0000001% chance some time traveler is telling the truth.
It was a hoax created by Larry Haber,
a Florida entertainment lawyer,
and his brother, John Rick Haber, a computer scientist.
The claims have never been verified, however.
Interesting.
I think... That's how they know it was a hoax.
I've read a lot about doomsayers
throughout the history of humanity,
and it's actually more common than I think people realize.
It's so easy to say that the worst thing is going to happen and to make the claims about all the risks and how they're all going to fail and that's going to cause the end and the failure.
But I think it's way more likely that things are going to march on.
It's just a matter of staying still, surviving, having community and things like that.
I'm with you on that.
I think I'm more of an optimist.
I think what a time to be alive.
What a time to make a difference right now.
And the truth is so powerful.
I know it's very corny and cliche.
And people are probably going to laugh at this.
But you have a dark room.
There's a little flame.
It lights up the room.
The truth has that power.
It just does.
And I think it'll ultimately win as long as people are courageous enough to say it.
And historically, and like the Soviet Union and these other countries, they couldn't say it.
They had to live by lies.
They had to pretend.
Even though they knew the truth,
they didn't want to say it.
And as long as we have the courage to say it,
in numbers, I think we'll be okay.
And also the ability to preserve it,
which I think storing data in orbit,
like we really need to get away
from these centralized servers,
or at least expand into decentralized storage.
The truth can be, unfortunately, on the internet, tweaked in real time the truth i call it no that's true i mean we talked about this all the time people like netflix will take uh scenes out of
shows if they decide they're unpopular or incorrect it's weird that we edit the content that we have
it's like you're unable to preserve an original document which is crazy it's terrifying do you
have any white pill predictions for uh 2024
anything particular you think positive white pill i like that question that's a good premise um
as i said i think the last couple weeks of 2023 if or any precursor i think you're going to see
whatever the if there's corruption or fraud, like if there's a conspiracy somewhere, I think that conspiracy will be made public for us to see.
Now, we could argue whether that's going to make a difference.
That's a different conversation.
So if there's voter fraud, and I don't know if there's going to be enough of it, but if there is, I think we'll see it.
In 2024?
Yeah.
In other words, we'll be able to see the fraud happening on the inside.
The whistleblowers will come public.
They'll reveal it on video, incontrovertible.
And now whether that's going to be shocking enough to people who, like, for example, hate
Orange Man, you know, bad.
Very, very bad.
Then I don't know.
But I think we'll be able to see it in a way that we've never seen it before. And we're seeing it right
as I show up. We're going to see it in a way we've
never seen it before. I've never seen anything
like it. Are you familiar with the apocalypse
from the Bible? Like it's
a biblical prophecy. Vaguely.
They call it the end times. Who knows what that
actually means if the calendar is just resetting or something.
But it basically means, apocalypse means the great
revealment. The things are being revealed.
And so what do you think about things like neural net where people are plugging into machines and but it basically means apocalypse means the great revealment the things are being revealed and so
what do you think about things like neural net where people are plugging into machines and art
we can share our thoughts i don't know anything about that well it's just the elon's way of making
brain computer interface a little better than using fingers you can use your thoughts to
communicate on the machine i feel like neural net would be the worst thing for whistleblowers right
like if the government or whoever was plugged into your brain you started thinking maybe i want to
say something about what's going on wherever. Well, there were reports
today, Ashley St. Clair reported that the American airlines, one of the airlines was forcing people
to download something onto their phone, the pilots to track whether they're talking to James O'Keefe
or not. And I just tweeted out, just go to Walmart and buy another phone and just download signal.
But there are efforts like this. And even that, in these other countries,
historically, no dissent was permitted at all.
And now you're seeing the opposite effect.
It's almost Orwell feared the truth
would be concealed from us.
Huxley feared the truth would be drowned out
in a sea of irrelevance. So the question, Tim's point, I think was on point, which is that our audience have
become so segmented. How do you convince the people that don't agree with you? Don't just
play to your audience, play to the people who don't agree. And to the white pill question,
I think, I believe, still believe that if you expose the truth in such a way, it'll convince the people that don't agree with me.
Like, for example, the story on Pfizer or BlackRock or even voter fraud.
The problem with the voter fraud I've heard from the right is that I don't think anyone's ever actually proved it.
I think it's all circumstantial evidence.
I mean, can you name a case where we've really actually proved incontrovertible evidence of massive voting fraud?
I haven't seen that.
I haven't seen that.
Massive?
That's, I guess, the fine math.
Enough to swing an election?
I personally haven't.
I mean, there's different ways that they coerce, you know, propaganda, the media.
But you know what I'm saying?
I think that there's going to be people on the inside in 2024 recording this stuff and there's nothing they
can do to stop it hypothetically would you would you support like a technology that just blows
everyone's minds open so that we can read every human's brain i didn't i didn't even thought about
the implications of that i would you would you yes why because we're going to destroy ourselves
if we don't you don't think people have the right to the privacy of their own thoughts? Well, no.
Why?
I feel like that's so authoritarian.
Look what people did with that.
They secrecy and destruction and slavitude that they've done to humans.
It's horrific.
I don't like a world where I'm obligated to let anyone read my mind.
That sounds terrifying.
I just think that they thought that it's your mind is like kind of out of, like our thoughts
are not our own.
It's our mind.
It is our mind.
It's the global mind.
I mean, obviously we have autonomy as bodies. My little pony. It's our mind it is our mind it's the global mind i mean
obviously we have autonomy as bodies my little pony it's our little but these well not really
if it's not my mind it's not my body right i mean where do you draw this line um also like to my
point before that would completely blow up a whistleblower system right if if your thoughts
were public to everyone we would never have anyone come forward because theoretically they would
immediately be imprisoned if they even thought about saying hey i should report this to someone but the corruption would
never happen because if someone tried to ruin the system with managing this the whole species the
entire species would be like policing itself at all times kind of whoever's on the top of that
structure would be policing it i don't think there is a top if it's all right so i don't think it's
a good thing but i think ian presents a possible future that we've actually talked about on the
culture war the way i describe it is with ai with with neuralink and all this stuff what eventually I don't think it's a good thing, but I think Ian presents a possible future that we've actually talked about on The Culture War.
The way I describe it is with AI, with Neuralink and all this stuff, what eventually happens is humans will be treated like single cells in a multicellular organism.
So take a look at single cells, right?
They're all running around doing crazy whozits and whatnots.
They're eating stuff and making more themselves.
They're independent in and of themselves.
Multicellular organisms, all the cells have clearly defined roles and within the multicellular organism like each and every one of us here sometimes there are rogue actors they want to be free they want to be free
and they want to do whatever they want to do and what do we call that cancer yes and what do we do
to pathogens usually we consume them with white blood cells we destroy them and so in a future
where we're all neural linked and we're all being given our roles and to each according to their uh need and you know from each according
to their capabilities what ends up happening then is this nightmare dystopia where you rip the
neural link out of your neck and you're like i just want to be me and then you're hunted down
by law enforcement who are all ai linked mindless drones and then they you, liquefy your body and convert you into
resource. I don't think you'd ever want to want to disengage from the species. Cancer exists. I
mean, that's true. And maybe what I'm saying is I'm looking at stripping humanity of joy and pain
and love and hate and all these things that make it so wonderful, but awful to be a human.
But at the same time, man, those kids pulling cobalt out of the mines in Africa where people
are just like, no, no, no, no that like come on man it's like how many thousands
of kids are getting poisoned right now clawing at that stuff for us to get our cell phones and
and yes and now do you weep for the the the skin cells that die and are flaked off your body in an
ai neural net world when your brain is plugged in the machine you'll know all about it and you will you will not care the people who are mining the cobalt won't care
either they'll just be the dead cells flaking off into the wind but i feel like we would be working
out of our way to make sure humans don't have to suffer through that stuff if we were all one unit
if your brain is linked to an a neural net where everyone is like one hive, they wouldn't be suffering.
There would no longer be a you.
They would be mindless drones.
I don't know if they'd be mindless.
They'd be mindless.
I don't think we have to worry about this prior to November 24, correct?
I think you're right.
I think let's take it one year at a time
because there's a lot going on.
You don't answer these big philosophical questions with us.
It's a fascinating Pandora's box,
but to get back to this coming,
this is the last show of the year, right, Tim?
This is the last show of the year.
So a truly free press empowers people
to make decisions for themselves.
And that's what this movement is all about.
I mean, the press is putting things in simplifications
and stereotypes and obfuscation
and all types of carefully woven tapestry of words and obfuscation and all types of carefully woven
tapestry of words that obfuscate. And then you just have Elon Musk's ex and whistleblowers.
And this is all about empowering people to make decisions because they have access to information
they previously did not. And it's the lack of transparency in the world that is the advantage to the to the evil. So the theory the the white pill is by
Making the world more transparent than it's ever been not mind shit. I don't even know about that
That's a metaphysical thing that I have to really have to sleep on that
But let's just take it to the next level just having access to inside of Airlines, inside of the DHS, inside the IRS, inside the FBI,
if those walls could talk.
Imagine if the American people could see that and hear that for themselves.
Imagine that.
I actually think that whatever the outcome would be, would be the correct one.
But right now, people have no idea what's happening.
And we're debating facts.
The greatest tragedy of
modern society is we debate facts why are we debating facts we shouldn't be but we've made
so many things subjective right they have decided it shouldn't be but there is a whole whole bent of
like i mean i'll bring it up every show but the gender stuff right saying well gender is different
than sex and this is why you can feel this way, but actually this is how- Well, that's one thing. I think that there's economic incentive to focus
on these kind of issues that divide people. So wouldn't that be true for anything that is a fact
that people try to manipulate? They probably have an incentive to do so? The corruptive,
coercive power of the federal government, the weaponization of the federal government,
innocent Americans. I think these are winning issues. And the majority of people, I also think chopping off private parts off little boy, that's a
winning issue.
90% of people think that's wrong.
I think if people could see and hear the stench, the rot for themselves, that's why I'm a white
pill guy, because I know it's going to happen.
It's already happening.
And you have people who come from inside and come out and tell you, hey, I want to talk
about this because I think it's wrong.
That must be a very uplifting experience.
It's a heavy experience.
It's heavy.
And actually, Tim, one of the things I've learned is that we were talking about this off air is that it's hard for – I've got to be careful who I surround myself with.
Oh, yeah.
After what I've been through and I've got all these people contacting me i gotta make sure people on my team close to me i can trust them
are people are people possessed you know parasites yeah uh i believe so it it look the stuff i've
learned about your story the stuff i've experienced it feels like one day a demon enters their brain
and takes them over dude i think they're literal
parasites in your gut i'm about to do some combo it's this toad venom and apparently you puke up
parasites and they just come out luke rukowski has a we are change video from seven years ago
i think there's much simpler ways the combo stuff is about like experiencing death or something yeah
but also a purge it's a purge of this shit just controlling you for christmas ian no i don't know
ho ho ho baby yeah take me there Take me there. I'm not into the
weird hippy-dippy injecting yourself with frog venom.
What I've learned is my fight
and many fights like this, it's almost like a fight
against human nature. It's almost like
a fight against self-interest
for goodness or for truth or for
you know, not betraying
your conscience. And there's a lot of people out there where
the world is governed by people pursuing
their own self-interest.
So if you're going to run against that tide,
you better make sure the people who are around you share those values or your partner shares your values.
If you're going to be on a mission against self-interest.
And I think that's what it's going to take.
You mentioned the founding fathers,
was their lives a fortune, sacred honor?
Blood treasure and sacred honor.
Blood treasure.
And they did that for each other. they were risking their children their children these are
guys who were wealthy had families and they could have said look if we remain loyalists the king
will take care of us and we let everyone else burn instead they said i will stand with the people of
my community even though they had land. Landed gentry.
And they told the king to screw off.
And they felt their children were at risk either way, right?
What future will I leave for my children?
Ben Franklin lost his kid.
His son, William, refused to ever speak to him again because his son was a loyalist.
He wouldn't leave the England. But this is such a modern experience.
I got to do what's right.
This is my own son.
I think we all know people whose families don't speak to each other because of politics right i know people who are
like if you voted for trump i'll never speak to i'll never speak to you again right like this is
something we still experience today but if you believe that your country is at risk if you
believe the future of the people you love could be damaged by an outcome don't you feel more
morally obligated to act william franklin was imprisoned by patriots from 76 78 and he was
the chief leader of the loyalists in new york city organizing military units to fight back on the side
of the british he went to exile in britain and lived in london until his death and never saw
him again crazy that's a wild sacrifice sometimes the doing the right thing and the hard thing are
the same thing i'm looking at a tip right and i I can't say what it is or who it is or where it is, but it's big.
And I get these every 10 minutes.
Quote, I don't know if this is major news, James, but I thought I would just do the right thing.
It reminds me of a quote by the big tobacco whistleblower, Jeffrey Wigand, 1990s, asked by Mike Wallace, why are you doing this?
He gave up everything.
He goes, because it's. Discover the magic of BetMGM Casino, where the excitement is always on deck.

Right?
He said because it's right.
So there are very, well, we could all agree that that's
a very tiny fraction of humans who would who would do that and say that therefore tim my fight is a
fight against uh human nature in many regards and you said demonically possessed when you're fighting
against when you're fighting against and we all have demons right and every single one of us unless
you're a liar we all have things that we're ashamed of perhaps that we've done but if you're fighting for good what's going
to happen when you're fighting for good you're going to be faced with tim you're going to be
faced with with bad people doing bad things and saying bad things and demons you could say when
you say right and wrong i feel like that's should always be up for debate because like transparency
for the sake of transparency i'm not into anymore. I've considered it throughout life, but like national defense weapons programs like the Manhattan Project, we could not, if people have blown the whistle on that and given the specs to, oh, we talked about this at Turning Point. If they'd revealed open source, the data for the nuclear bomb and Hitler got it and built it first, we'd all be speaking German.
Hang on, you, the guy who just pitched that all of our thoughts should be public well are not into transparency
for transparency's sake if you could flip a switch maybe but uh maybe but uh yeah yeah there's some
things that where you need i'm not following that's a good point thank you but the journalist
is there's a book written about this called the custodians of conscience the custodians of
conscience you you you you the information revealer forms the moral values by releasing
the information and testing and affirming what is and what is not moral you you realize that by
going oh i call my company omg oh my god like when the pfizer guy is saying we make fake things to
lie to customers to make money or black rock saying we control the world we bribe politicians
okay that's wrong and that's that's the kind of role of transparency is it not to to test and
affirm what is and what is not moral by revealing information that shocks the conscience you're the
custodian of the public's conscience they're
gonna like quantum encryption hacking is a big technology like 2028 we're gonna start seeing
people be able to go in and like open up the last 20 years of your bank records like everyone on
earth their bank like and and so is that conscionable to do it is it possible i don't
know just to some and not to others but do people need to know that it's happening is the question right do people know that that's occurring or should they know
that that's occurring i think so but sometimes yes in that instance yes sometimes i don't sometimes
there are things that are happening that if people know they panic and and that could do
more harm than keeping them in the dark then that's the balance that you
have to strike as the publisher of the information you do some things should not be some things ought
to be kept secret but i think you you you derive your sense of morality through the reporting
process and the public changes their sense of of what is right and wrong based upon whether it
whether it tugs at their conscience.
The word is conscience, I would say.
You know what people don't remember is the Declaration of Dependence.
Tell me about it.
It's always sunny in Philadelphia.
Made the joke where they envision back in the olden days during the revolutionary period.
And Mac and Dennis are scared that the rebellion in Philadelphia will result in them losing their bar or whatever.
So they're like, we need to tell the British that we support them.
And so they bring the Declaration of Dependence,
but it's actually just a crude drawing of someone raping the queen or something like that.
But there actually was a Loyalist Declaration,
and I'm trying to be careful because I don't know too much about it,
but I have this from the New York Historical Society Museum Library.
It was the Loyalist Petition to the Crown that some people refer to as the declaration of dependence where the loyalists said they had risked their their lives and fortunes
opposing the most unnatural unprovoked rebellion that ever disgraced the annals of time the
loyalists sought some level of distinction from the inhabitants in general they were asking the
crown to uh alleviate them of the martial law as they they were loyalists. The funny thing is.
The crown ignored them.
There you go.
It is what it is.
So they appealed to the authority.
And what does that show?
That that authority was evil.
Because it ignored their pleas.
Well it's funny.
Because the.
The patriots were like.
The king is an oppressive force.
And then the loyalists were like.
King we're on your side. Help us. And he was an oppressive force on them too so yeah get what you get but you know
i bring this up because we don't sit here and talk about the men who risked their fortunes to
serve the crown no one cares about those guys the british people care about them and they don't they
don't like when i was talking to carl benjamin i was like do you guys like what
what's what's the the thought on in in britain on the american revolution he's like mate our
history is like what is it like 1200 years like this was this was like a small 20-year period
in a thousand-year history on our radar it's like it happened but we had a lot of colonies
we learned about all the colonies we had not just you he didn't say it exactly like that but he was
basically saying it i like the indian revolution uh that gandhi led because that was non-violent essentially i don't know too much about it
actually i'd love to learn more about it well i gotta say the colonization of of india is i think
perhaps one of the greatest things that has ever happened um because it resulted in uh chicken
tikka masala and butter chicken of course which were invented in in London, but nonetheless inspired by India. Cumin?
I guess.
Turmeric.
Delicious.
Coriander?
All right, let's go.
Oh, apparently yoga was like a military training exercise back in the day.
I didn't know this. Well, it's like a religious, spiritual thing.
But it came from actual, that's why they call it like warrior one.
Like there's actual, it was, they wouldn't let women do it.
And it was just for warrior training, like for military training, stretching, all these
things to get ready for battle.
You know what I love in the UK?
Yorkie bars.
Not for girls. What is that? Yorkie is a chocolate bar and it says not for girls and there's a picture of a girl and it's let's circle the line through it no
girls can't have it i don't think they could do that in the united states i think it'd be illegal
anyway we're going to super chat so if you haven't already would you kindly smash that like button

like obviously christmas off but we'll try and get people nobody nobody will come nobody i mean
come on what sane person is like yes i'd like to travel after christmas from my family's house
straight to your studio to do a show and then have new year's in a different city it just doesn't
happen i would love to go through the airport at that time of year. Yeah, exactly.
Nobody wants to do it.
Spend some time with your friends.
And if you have friends that don't have a place to go, invite them over.
Yeah, New Year's.
This will be fun.
Let's read some super chats.
All right.
Shane H. Wilder says, Merry Christmas, everybody.
I hope it's a joyful one.
Jackson Glass, with not a single word, but won the first super chat.
Congratulations, sir.
Nice job, Jackson.
Oh, I want to let you guys know something, too. For everybody who bought the song
together again,
the first week is over.
This is launch week.
I don't know if the billboard charts come out Tuesday
or next week, the week after Tuesday,
which would be January 2nd.
Not sure.
But we are going to email every single person about the song with
a promo code for 35% off cast brew because some people were unsure how to do it and how to use it.
And then we're going to extend just for one, we really do want you to buy the coffee. So it's like,
it's a promo for us, but just to make sure there are a lot of people emailed in saying,
I'm not quite sure how to get it. Don't about it we're going to send everybody an email you'll get your code and you can buy all
the coffee at a huge discount thank you so much for supporting us and buying the song this was
the biggest release we have done yet it was more sales more views more everything um i owe a lot of
that to the daily wire crew jeremy boring and michael knolls also helped push considering they
have the writing credit on it it's like the lyrics were all theirs it was inspired by their song though we'd made a
different version of it they're absolutely a part of helping promote it so shout out to the daily
wire crew all right neurodivergence is james x dancer here giving you moonwalk props i can
moonwalk i can break dance i can sing oklahoma and i'm coming back to Tim's studio To produce some music I do dance parties
I went to the AmFest
Trying to sell journalism classes
And I sold out my class
But a thousand people asked me
Where's my next James O'Keefe party
So we may need to have those
Regularly every month
We're going to sell the tickets

Jay Marie says,
James O'Keefe has huge,
what is this?
Weevos?
Huevos.
Sorry.
Huevos.
Oh, they spelled it W-E-V-O-S.
I know what they meant.
It's spelled with a J.
Because I'm like,
you guys need to grow
a pair of balls.
But I'm a woman.
I don't have balls.
So I'm like,
all right, huevos. You have of balls. But I'm a woman. I don't have balls. So I'm like, alright, huevos.
You have huevos. Eggs. Testicular
fortitude. Fertilize your eggs.
Well, huevos is eggs, so that works for the ladies.
Eggs, balls, it's a metaphor.
But no, I'm saying that works for the ladies.
That's why, I think they
may have been referencing something I've said in various
I was just poking fun
for spelling it W-E-V-O-S.
Oh, they spelled it like that. I believe it's J- w-e-v-o-s oh they spelled it like
that right it's j i believe it's j-u-e-v-o-s yeah that's a huevos h it's h yeah huevos huevos yeah

if you want to be the EA.
Positions in New Jersey right now.
And you have to be willing to travel all the time.
Do you sing, James?
I do.
Are there any songs, like top 40s you know off the top of your head? Top 40 right now and you have to be willing to travel all the time do you sing james i do are there are
there any songs you like top 40s you know off the top of your head top 40 right now yeah i don't
even know off the top of my head know what's on the top 40 but you know i just mean like big songs
that's something that ian might know how to play um i know this is tough because like i mean how
about how about that song by um miley cyrus flowers i don't think ian knows how to play
i can look up the chords of any song pretty much you name if i know what i can that one has like three chords while they're while they're looking
this up gamer weenus says infringed was great worth the watch thanks for all your hard work
merry christmas it was it was super good super good and um maybe what we'll do is now that it's
like it's it's had its run basically we did the promo we can release it on uh the timcast channel for like a couple bucks like so you go on youtube and they have this thing where it's had its run, basically. We did the promo. We can release it on the TimCast channel for
a couple bucks.
You go on YouTube and they have this thing where it's like you can pay a couple bucks
and it'll play for you.
That'd be pretty cool. We could probably just do that.
That way it's like, you know, it goes from
the movie theaters, then the video store,
and then whatever. That'll be what we'll do.
We could do the same with Game of Money
and put them up on YouTube for like $1.99 or something.
Oh, that's a great idea.
And people can watch them something very cool yeah yeah
we're working on more we got more more awesome stuff to come andrew ho says everyone forgets
the great predictor movie die hard 4 that educated us on the fire sale cyber attack to wipe out the
power grid drain social security monetary resources etc it was good yep i like that movie don't people
think dire one of the diehards is a Christmas movie?
The first one.
The first one?
Because it happens during Christmas.
Oh,
okay.
Right.
I've never seen it,
so I can't wait.
It's a semantic argument.
What is a Christmas movie?
Is a Christmas movie a movie about someone going through the process of Christmas and
Santa comes and then they have presents?
Or is a Christmas movie a movie that is-
Set at Christmas time.
Right.
Or involving Christmas as a component of the story interesting i think it's if it's about
christmas because if you like played a rock song in the country it wouldn't be a country song
just because it's in the country but that's not what we're saying right is is jurassic park a
dinosaur movie yes of course it's about dinosaurs, right?
But what if there was, is Godzilla a dinosaur movie?
Technically, I guess, maybe.
This is where people are like, well, yeah, like Godzilla is basically a dinosaur, a gigantic monster lizard, you know, rampaging.
If you made a movie about a giant monster, like a giant T-Rex rampaging through city streets, would you call it a dinosaur movie? And it's like, well,
it's not, it's a dinosaur's in it,
but it's like,
and a part of the story.
Yeah, it's not a dinosaur movie.
That's a good point.
But this is what the argument is.
Die Hard happens during Christmas
and Christmas is a theme.
It's a Christmas party
and then they make Christmas references,
but it's not a movie
about delivering presents to your family.
Is Home Alone a Christmas movie?
I always think it is. Yeah, I think so. Then Die Hard is yeah because home alone's a movie about a kid who gets left at home the christmas element of it is meaningless and that was during christmas
too yeah and they leave him because of christmas they're traveling as a family out so it affects
the plot so it's a christmas everyone agrees it's a christmas movie but at what point in the movie
is it like this you got to race to
get the presents, and then there is where he meets Santa and everything.
I get that.
Yeah.
And Donald Trump makes an appearance in one of those movies, right?
Second one.
Second one.
Lost in New York.
Was that a Christmas movie?
Yeah, because they all happen at Christmas, right?
So then Die Hard is too.
Yeah.
Oh.
Right.
Interesting.
Yeah, it's like all the kid does is mercilessly maim and wound two burglars
you know what i mean yeah it's a crime fighting movie that's very but hold on hold on daniel
stern merry christmas and home alone are like almost the same movie never saw merry christmas
what is what is what is um what's diehard guy's name wow i can't believe i forgot the actor or no no the character
john mcclain mcclain yeah we got what is he doing he's sneaking around
playing pranks on these terrorists right it's a bit more direct but the terrorists like walk
in the room and then like the walkie talkie goes off and they come in and then he just
beats the crap out of them and then he's got the gun taped to his back it's the same story
you know kind of diehard and home alone james gun taped to his back it's the same story you know
kind of die hard and home alone james doesn't agree that die hard he's got his shirt off and
he's got a gun duct taped to his back and then he's like yippee-ki-yay and he grabs it just
just like santa just like when the paint can falls down and hits murray in the face
love that scene he steps on the broken glass you guys remember when family guys spoofed home alone
no they like walk in the house and the one guy's like a paint can swings down oh yeah oh that was
weird and he's like yeah there was some glue on the porch but i just walked over it yeah the
doorknob was hot i just let go and then the kid kevin mccaster goes ha ha i've got you now and
he goes bang and just shoots him and he's like all right you want to steal stuff yeah
home they're like now home alone with competent burglars it's great and there's like, all right, you want to steal stuff? Yeah. They're like, now home alone with competent burglars.
It's great.
And there's like no witnesses or whatever.
Right.
Where are we at?
Let's grab.
What is this?
Is this Dom says Rothschild LLC bought a large amount of Boeing shares today.
Black Rock State Street and others boosted their existing Boeing holdings as well.
They're gearing up for world war three maybe but the implication is if they're buying stock they don't intend the world to fail
they think at some point someone will want to buy those stocks as well so yeah you know that's the
thing when people start buying up water like if if i don't know like mark zuckerberg was going to
spend 250 million dollars on say like a like a Hawaiian emergency underground bunker with like massive private security, then I'd be worried, right?
Oh, wait, he did that.
Anyway.
No, to be fair, Zuckerberg bought a massive mansion on one of the westernmost islands of Hawaii, and it includes a 5,000 square foot bunker.
The media makes it seem more like he's building a quarter billion dollar emergency bunker in the middle of nowhere.
To be fair, however, most of the ultra wealthy are doing that.
So, you know, as soon as they start flying to New Zealand or to Montana to their mountain bunkers, I think a bunch of them have deep mountain bunkers in like Wyoming and Montana.
Watch what they do, not what they say.
Exactly.
They're like, everything is fine.
The stocks are great.
And they're doing a live feed as they're lowering into like a submarine going to their underwater.
Exactly.
Well, you know, rumor is the ultra wealthy have built a city underwater.
I thought it was under the Denver airport.
No, no, no.
They built it underwater where they can be free from regulation yeah they call it rapture uh i want to go there
we make every every single day on this show we make bioshock references
every every day in the chat there is a poll would you kindly share and like the show
would you kindly wow yeah i don't know what bioshock is one of the best video games ever
made first person shooter rpg it's awesome adding down to my cool it's uh it's it's underwater sci-fi
fantasy based off of like objectivist ideas from like the fountainhead and um atlas that's cool
the bat the boss is actually is literally named atlas and uh the story is basically ultra wealthy
people build a city underwater to escape regulation and uh a core component of the story is basically ultra wealthy people build a city underwater to escape regulation
and uh a core component of the story is that gene splicing becomes rampant because there's
no regulations and people are injecting themselves with genetic modification that gives them powers
and so in the first one i love it in the original bioshock because you you'll get like you'll get
uh i forgot what they're called um it's been so long since i played it but it actually shows the
arms and then it goes like when sticks the needle in the arm and then fire comes out of
his hand but then when they did biotrack infinite he's drinking a soda that's how he gets it is he
drinks it yeah in the biotrack infinite i think they were like the injecting into the arm is not
very family friendly he cracks a soda and drinks it and that it's like come on. But then some people end up becoming deranged from splicing.
And so they're like, and they're all messed up.
Regulation and all bad.
That's true.
What do we got?
Gabriel Lopez is a country is not an idea of a piece of paper.
They are a people.
If you switch the entire population of US and Brazil, the Constitution will be taken down overnight and everything would be would Brazilify.
Immigration, legal or illegal, will kill Americans.
It's over. A country
is its people. That's right. Did you figure out how to
play Miley Cyrus? I have the
chords. I just don't know the rhythm. We could sing something
more simple like, Oh, What a Beautiful Morning.
I don't know. Is that too old school?
I like it. It's very
simple. It's very... This is your big break,
James. You better not screw it up. It's a Friday night jam
session with James O'Keefe.
This is from like 1939 right now.
How about House of the Rising Sun?
House of the Rising Sun? That one's easy.
What are the chords for that?
A, what is that? A, C, D, F?
I'm a bass too, so it's gotta be low octaves.
Wow, there's a lot of chords in Oh, What a Beautiful Morning.
There is a house.
Yeah, but House of the Rising Sun.
You know the words to House of the Rising words seven i'm not gonna be able to
play that one how's the rising sun how's that i could play that yes four chords i think i gotta
tune this it should yeah it might have slipped there is a house in new orleans is it a minor cdf
they call the right a minor cdf there is yeah well uh it is a minor cdf then it goes a minor e a minor e yep that's
probably the chorus or something no that is just like the last part of the uh and god i know i'm
one that's the a minor e a minor okay a minor e a minor e yeah let's rock or is it e a minor e a
minor i think you got a pick over there or anything. Of course. Nice.
You got prepared, homie.
What room is this?
I should have one on me.
Thanks.
We are going to close out this year
with a very short, very simple Friday night jam session.
James O'Keefe brings you House of the Rising Sun.
I knew the first part of the song.
Is it just the repeat of the first part?
What is happening?
This is great.
You want to pull up the lyrics?
I got the lyrics.
Why are we not doing a Christmas show?
Just name the...
Can you hear that okay?
I'll just do that again.
No, no.
You didn't play it right.
That's what it says here.
There is
Hold on
A house down in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
Give yourself double the room
So we get the reverb when you're singing it
And it's been
The ruin of many a poor boy
and God
I know
I'm one.
Same thing, right?
Yeah.
Oh my gosh,
Tim's joining in on guitar,
everybody.
I've heard this song.
Are we allowed to play it on the show?
I don't know.
Is it the mother?
Yeah.
Mother was a tailor
She sold my little dreams my father was a gambling man
down
keep it going dude
i don't know where i am there this is like a
an interlude.
We're going to be back to the beginning or down?
Now the only thing.
Now the only thing.
Ready?
Now the only thing a gambling man ever needs
is a suitcase, Lord, a suitcase and a trunk.
And the only time a fool like him is satisfied
is when he's all stone cold, stone cold drunk.
Back to the beginning.
Sure.
Ready?
Almost. Almost. Ready? Almost.
Almost.
Oh shit, let's just go right into it.
There is a house way down in New Orleans.
They call the rising sun And it's been
the rule
of many a poor boy
And God, I know
I'm not the only one
Second verse?
No, that one's it.
That was it.
Did you already get the ball and chain part?
I think that's good.
There we go.
What a fun new band.
I've got an original I'd like to play for you guys.
It's the first song I ever wrote.
And the Crosslands.
Yeah, check this out.
I'll sing it up top.
I'll play it down here.
First song I ever wrote.
It's called On Walking. Oh, thanks, Serge.
Serge is gonna throw me a
microphone. I think the single mic works as long as it's right
in between, and you back up a little. Yeah, I can
do it. Yeah, these are
podcast mics, so if you want to sing into them, you
pull them back so that you get
the room, you know. room.
It's a little too low though.
What is?
To get your voice.
Actually, you're probably good.
You're probably good.
Don't you pick me up on the road again.
We're all just friends.
Human. Being there.
Alone again.
Walking when I'm tired
take another picture from the train again made and I spilled the rain on your big brain.
I'm gonna spin you around and put your feet on the ground.
Cause you're everything.
Be great and be cliche.
And the mistakes I've made will pave the way
Walking strong on the road again Make amends and move on
When I see you when I'm home again
I'll show you that I grew strong
And when I see you around
I'll put my feet on the ground
Cause we're everything
Be shameful, be naive
Hell color is your dream
You're something strange
You're something abnormally Something unpredictably
Irresistible to me
Something in a rut
I got stuck, got no luck
Got no key to the door that I locked
Pass it by or break it down
It's time to face the cloud
And I'll find a way to refrain
That stain is plain
So strange, so strange This plane
So strange, so strange, so strange
That I made myself, made myself, made myself, made myself
Pass it by or break it down It's time to face the clown
I'll find a way to
A way to refrain
Cause I made myself
Made myself
Made myself
Made myself All right, James, what else do you know?
No, you have to sing a Christmas carol now.
It's Christmas.
You guys, give me some options and I'll sing.
Give me some different options.
Glycerine by Bush.
No way.
You guys are not festive at all right now.
That's my favorite song.
What else?
Come on, come on.
What else?
We want Christmas
The point is top 40s, big hit, James O'Keefe singing
Give me a couple options
All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey
I can sing that one, that's a good one
Right before Christmas?
Come on, let's do that
We might be able to figure it out
Yes, I'm loving this optimism
That's like the most famous Christmas song of all time
Yes, yes Let's do that one We can figure this out I'm loving this optimism. That's like the most famous Christmas song of all time. Yes.
Let's do that one.
We can figure this out.
I mean, it's not a complicated song.
It's not complicated.
C, E minor, C, D.
Yeah, you can do it.
Everyone's talented.
I would have to listen to the song.
All right, let's listen to it for a second.
Key of G.
Oh, yeah, this is it.
Just listen to the first year.
C minor.
Ooh, this is a little complicated.
Doom.
You just got to get those chords.
We're not getting it.
Oh, no, you're not going to do it?
We're not going to get it.
It's too difficult?
It's not that it's difficult.
It's that something like House of the Rising Sun is four chords.
You're done.
I see.
So if we're going to pull up a random song right now and just play it without having heard it, it's easy to be like.
Next year, last year, the year before Christmas.
I can play the iPad way back here and you guys can kind of strum along.
You want to try that?
Here we go.
Here we go.
No, we can't.
Can you do that because it's a copyright?
Yeah, we can't.
We can't do that.
Right.
Even with covers, it's kind of weird.
I appreciate the effort, though. It is a classic. It's such a great song. It is a copyright. Yeah, we can't do that. Right. Even with covers, it's kind of weird. I appreciate the effort, though.
It is a classic.
It's such a great song.
It is a classic.
We'll pick a few options.
Is there anybody,
who's got suggestions
in the chat?
Because we're going to
wrap it up in a second.
It's not that complicated,
but it's what, copyrights?
No, it's that, like,
if we're going to
actually play it right,
I would need to listen
to the song,
figure out what the chords are.
Next year for Christmas, when you're signed to the label, we'll come back to a to the song, figure out where the chords are. C minor six. Next year for Christmas,
when you're signed to the label,
we'll come back to a whole Christmas album.
You can rip the whole thing down to four chords
and ignore whatever the actual song is.
I like that C minor, though.
Silent Night, Jingle Bells,
Baby It's Cold Outside.
Last Christmas by Wham.
Last Christmas.
That's a great song.
Can you do that?
Wonderwall.
That's not Christmas at all.
Freebird.
Wonderwall. What else you got? Keep going? That's not Christmas at all. Wonderwall?
What else you got?
Keep going, fans.
Last Christmas is hot.
Last Christmas.
Can we do that?
That's a lot of seven chords.
Let's see.
Last Christmas.
Can you do that one?
Nope.
Hallelujah. Tears for Fears. Tears for Fears. Which one? Oh. that one nope hallelujah for fears tears for fears which one oh how about uh everybody wants to change the world yeah yeah that's a good one everybody wants to rule the world everybody wants
to rule i think i know that song well enough to maybe be able to try it just retweeted them playing live they're so good as long as you get the pitch right it's yeah welcome to your welcome to your life there's no turning back
even a while can we get that let's see yeah maybe it's a is that the right key welcome
welcome to your life Let's see, yeah, maybe. It's A-G. Is that the right key? Welcome.
Welcome to your life.
There we go.
There's just nothing really there.
You want me to start?
Yeah, you want to play it in the window?
I think we got it.
I don't think so.
Ready to rock?
If you can play that lead like that, I can play the rhythm.
But that's... Here we go.
Keep going.
Here we go.
Welcome to your life.
There's no turning back.
Even while we sleep.
We will find you acting on your best behavior.
Turn your back on Mother Nature.
Everybody wants to do the work.
Keep going.
Keep going.
It's my own design.
It's my own remorse.
Help me to decide.
Help
me make the world
stop being
the lyrics.
Something I can't remember
the word.
Everybody wants
to rule the world. There's a room where the
light won't find you. Holding hands while the walls keep tumbling down. When they do,
I'll be right behind you. I'm so glad we've almost made it. I'm so sad they had to fade Everybody wants to do the work
Which is on the A, yeah, right on the A.
I wish I had a bigger screen.
There's one more little part here.
Ready?
I can't stand this indecision
Stand this indecision
Married live a lack of vision Stand this indecision. Stand this indecision.
Married live a lack of vision.
Everybody wants to be the best.
This is the chorus.
Say that you'll never, never, never.
I can't do that part.
You want to keep going?
I think that was pretty good. I think we got what we needed out of it. That that was great what a great song yeah I can't go higher I can't stand this indecision that's too
high for my vocal cords see an octave below there it's all about the getting
it right Gary would do it I don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just one thing I need,
and I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree.
Acapella.
I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true.
All I want for Christmas is you
That was amazing.
I think acapella.
That was incredible.
What a Christmas gift to the audience.
Mariah Carey is shaking in her boots right now.
All right, Tim, what's your next one?
You get one.
I don't got any ones.
You want to play one of yours?
I don't know.
What's the next one?
The next big one coming out in 2024?
The next song we're doing? Yeah, what do you want to do next? I don't know. What's the next one? The next big one coming out in 2024. The next song we're doing?
Yeah, what do you want to do next?
I don't know.
So the song that we're working on
where Ian did the body transformation,
it takes 48 hours to render 10 seconds of the video
because it's all like heavy CGI and crazy effects.
So that one might be done by mid-January,
but we've got, I think,
we might have two other songs that are done that are just sitting unreleased, because we're like, I don't know.
But I think by March we might have like a, between eight and ten songs, so I don't know.
I've got a new one I've just wrote I could play, or I could do Come Down by Bush, which I really like a lot.
Do you know the words to Come Down?
Do I know the melody is the question. The words I can look up.
Well, there's got to be something simpler and better that everybody knows.
Right.
Love and hate, get it wrong.
Cut me right back down to size.
Sleep the day, let it fade.
Who's there to take your place?
No one knows.
Never will.
Mostly me, but mostly you.
Will you say, do you do?
When it all comes down.
I don't want to come back down from this cloud.
It's taken me all this time to find out
what I need
Serge hit it
alright I'm going to play a song
this is the last show of the year
and I am not
practiced but I will try to play the song anyway
and because someone said play words
in the book so this is
a song that we've
never recorded
give me those chords really quick uh
c-a wait wait c-b-a-g-e and uh that might be it let's see if i can play it maybe i can't I love this song. Remember when
We used to hope for peace
But villains weren't only on TV screens
The market's made up
Of broken hopes and dreams To put you back into mediocrity
Taking more, taking spite of this Focus on the ways I guess you'll never change that day It's hard to believe that you mean nothing
to me Cause you used to fight for peace
But heroes were only on TV screens
My heart is made up of broken hopes and dreams
I'll take my place in this story
Taking more, taking spite of this
and focus on the ways I really wished you'd changed that day It's hard to believe that you
mean nothing
to me
Cause you used to be
everything
There were words in a book
About what we've been through
There are lines in the scripts
written for me and you
Take it all inside
and pray it works
Another aching in your heart
starts to burn. Taking more, taking spite of this
And focus on the ways
I really hope you'll change someday
It's hard to believe but I'm
Moving on with my dreams
Cause you were never there for me
There are words in a book
About what we've been through
And there are lines in a script
Written for me and you
So take it all in stride
And pray it works
Another aching in your heart
Starts to burn And that is
the end of the year!
What a year, 2023.
