Joe Biden has announced we will respond to a drone strike that killed three U.S. soldiers and injured 34 more. They say it was done by Iran-backed militia groups and came from Syria. We're now getting a breaking report from Sky News that as early as tonight, Joe Biden may authorize military action in the Middle East, which could spark World War III. And I'm not the only one who's saying it. World War III has been trending for some time, especially after these three U.S. soldiers had been killed. And there are numerous reports coming out about the fears escalating. And of course, kind of feels like beating a dead horse, but you have many world leaders

saying over and over again over the past year that we are knocking on the doors of World War III. In fact, many said we are already in it. We just don't know it yet. So we'll see. I suppose with all the news now coming out about the fears of World War III. In fact, many said we're already in it. We just don't know it yet. So we'll see. I suppose with all the news now coming out about the fears of World War III, there's a lot to actually break down. But we got big news on the border. Everybody's waiting for an update on what happened with Biden. The Biden administration in Texas, the National Guard, the Border Patrol has sided with Texas. They said they're not going to interfere. They're

not going to be arresting anybody. And they actually disagree with the Supreme Court's rulings from the Border Patrol Union. So this should be particularly interesting. We'll get into all that. And then we got some more fun news. Mark Cuban has been arguing over diversity, inclusivity and equity programs. And he stated publicly on X that gender and race do contribute to. He says, I've never had anybody solely based on that, but it does play a factor. Well, one of the commissioners of the EEOC responded to him saying,

no, you cannot use it in any way. You are dead wrong. Mark Cuban seems to have publicly admitted to violating the law, opening up all of his companies to massive legal exposure by admitting they use race and gender in hiring, which is illegal. Now there are people reporting anybody who's ever or I should say the what's going around now, anybody who's been fired or refused a job from any one of his companies now has grounds for a lawsuit to say it was because of their race. So this should get very interesting, my friends. But before we get started,

I want you all to head over to factswithben.com. That's F-A-C-T-S withben.com to buy the song Facts by Tom McDonald and Ben Shapiro. You click Purchase Options, then you select $129. You click purchase options. Then you select 129. You buy the song. You buy that MP3. You download it. The link is also available

in the description below. This is not a promotional sponsor spot. I am just friends with Tom and Ben. And I think you guys, if we, I bought the song already. We all buy this song. We put Ben Shapiro on the Billboard Hot 100.

We've already made Ben Shapiro the number one rapper in the country. Nicki Minaj has even commented on it. Congratulating Ben Shapiro on the Billboard Hot 100. We've already made Ben Shapiro the number one rapper in the country. Nicki Minaj has even commented on it, congratulating Ben Shapiro. But I'll tell you, it's about us pushing back and taking this territory in the culture war, storming into the cultural institutions, and making our voices heard. Tom McDonald's been working really, really hard for a very, very long time. He makes a bunch of really awesome music. He's had a bunch of hits, but at every turn, of course, there are obstacles thrown in his way.

And I say this only because it's happened to us as well. We put out a song, whoops, Billboard all of a sudden doesn't track the sales we got anymore for some technical reason. Okay. Well, if you want to support Tom McDonald and Ben Shapiro, if you want to stick it to the machine and you want to force the corporate press to acknowledge Ben Shapiro, who doesn't even think rap is music, force them to say, OK, Ben Shapiro is one of the world's top rappers. Buy the song, support our friends Tom and Ben. And I do appreciate it. Again, I'm not sponsored by them in any way. I just really hope that they chart. Based on the metrics I have so far, it does look

like, so long as we keep up this campaign until Thursday, Ben and Tom should be on the Hot 100, the top 100 songs in the country, and potentially even the top 200, which is global. So I think that would be fantastic. But don't forget, also head over to TimCast.com, click Join Us, become

Hey, it's good to be here. Who are you? What do you do? Who am I? What do I do? God, that's a hard question, actually. I've been around long enough to have done a lot of things. Started my life as a musician. question, actually. I've been around long enough to have done a lot of things. Started my life as a musician. Oh, great. Yeah, yeah.

Did that from the time I was a child and then became a professional touring musician when I was a 19-year-old punk in college. Wow. Yeah, I was a trumpet player. Oh, cool. Yeah, so I answered the call to go on the road with a band. I quit school, did that for several years, and have been in in music business in one form or the other most of my life. And now. And now. You're a journalist. Well, yeah, I've been writing on the side. That was always kind of my hobby. And then it became my side hustle and that sort of thing. And then once AOL became MySpace and MySpace became Facebook and

Facebook became a blog. and now that has all become blaze media but that's who i work for now and one of the big stories that we've been covering quite a bit is that uh for your coverage of january 6th as a journalist as one of the most i mean anybody looks at you they're like oh that guy's a journalist right they're threatening to lock you up yes yeah i mean of like you're sitting there wearing the suit on the blaze, and I'm like, they could have some fat dude in a T-shirt, and you're going to be like, is he a journalist? Or like, what does he do? That guy in the suit is in with the glasses.

Like, oh, he looks like a journalist. But you know what? I did not look like a journalist on January 6th. Because, see, I had a David Bowie tribute act at the time. And because it was the COVID lockdowns, I decided that I was going to change my Bowie look. And so I was actually growing my hair out during that time. So as I'm walking through the Capitol on the CCTV cameras, I have this long mane coming out of the back of my ball cap.

They're threatening to lock you up. Yeah. Because you were reporting on January 6th. There are several people who, the media, I mean, we'll just go use Owen Schroer as an example, didn't even go in the building. They did lock him up. And so we've covered your story quite a bit. Thanks for joining us.

We'll get into the details on that and we'll see where we are with the updates. But yeah, it's a crazy story. Yeah, it is. Yeah, right on.

We also have Hannah Claire Brimelow hanging out. Hey, I'm Hannah Claire Brimelow. I'm a writer for scnr.com. You can see all of our news on Twitter and Instagram at TimCastNews. I'm really happy to be here. Shane's back. What's up? I'm happy to be here. I'm also a writer for scnr.com you can see all of our news on on twitter and instagram at timcast news i'm really happy to be here shane's back what's up i'm happy to be here i'm also a writer for scanner and uh the author of tales from the inverted world where i write about the uh the thin line

between demons and politicians quite often and the lack thereof a lot and there's no more line yeah like i don't know it's there anymore 2024 yeah uh also interested to see what you take on the new uh new kanye stuff is maybe we'll get to that i don't think we will but we should talk about otherwise oh i got a lot of takes we and we definitely gotta talk about the taylor swift conspiracy theory uh man i've i've had a lot of people yell at me that the that the ravens uh chiefs match was rigged that the refs were throwing it the ravens were throwing it like what is happening i had i've heard over and over again that there were like three instances of pass interference. The refs didn't call

on the Chiefs and just gave them a free ride. Or they're just salty fans. I don't know. But I'm seeing all over X people like rigged, rigged, rigged. And you've got this scenario where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey have this movie romance going on where it's boosting all of

these revenue and ratings and everything but there are a lot of people on the right who think taylor swift it's all it's all one big psyop because she's going to announce support for the democrats i think that's wrong i think if there's going to be a side people something different but we will talk about that because the idea of the nfl being rigged is very interesting but we're going to jump to this first story here from sky news check this out b Biden faces pivotal moment as he weighs retaliation for soldier deaths in Jordan drone strike. The commander in chief will have given a number of options by the Pentagon, but the consequences are far from certain and could trigger a wider

war. Sky News says as early as tonight, President Joe Biden will authorize U.S. military action in the Middle East. It is likely to be one of the most consequential decisions of his presidency. At stake, the credibility of American deterrence and the teetering stability of the region. This comes after three U.S. troops were killed in a drone attack and 34 were injured. CNN reports that, well, we'll read. Three U.S. Army soldiers were killed and more than 30 service members were injured in a drone attack overnight on a small U.S. outpost in Jordan, U.S. officials told CNN, marking the first time that U.S. troops have been killed by any fire in the Middle East since the beginning of the Gaza war. We shall respond, President Joe Biden said while speaking in South Carolina on Sunday.

The killing of three Americans at Tower 22 in Jordan near the border with Syria is a significant escalation of an already precarious situation in the Middle East. Officials said the drone was fired by Iran-backed militants and appeared to come from Syria. It is still being determined which militia group specifically is responsible. And of course, we're already seeing the warmongers in Washington, D.C. say strike Iran now with the reporting that Joe Biden will be authorizing some form of retaliation tonight, many are speculating this could kick off World War Three. I also OK, I think it's fair to state that the problem we have here and the difficulty with this kind of commentary is that you have dozens of world leaders saying either World

War Three is starting, has already started or is about to start. Then you have constant tit-for-tat escalations, and we just don't know. I mean, we're in the thick of it. We can't tell. We can't see the forest. We're inside of it. This could be the shot heard around the world moment, but I don't think we would know until well into any kind of actual war. I do believe, however, if Joe Biden does order any kind of retaliation

on Iran directly, then I think it's fair to say at that point, everything's going to kick off dominoes one after another. So if there is an action taken against Iran in some capacity,

and then this ropes in the other countries and the BRICS nations, we may six months down the line be like, OK, we're in World War Three. History books will look back and say that moment Joe Biden order retaliation kicked things off. I got to be honest. I'd actually think that October 7th may be considered the start. If World War Three kicks off, you can ignore Ukraine.

People will say, well, there were border conflicts happening and there was funding of war in Ukraine, Afghanistan collapse and things like that. October 7th was a massive escalation, which results in the Houthi rebels shutting down, you know, the Red Sea, basically shutting down shipping, which is now leading to a dramatic escalation. At some point, Venezuela could make a move on Guyana. China makes a move on Taiwan. There you go. World War Three. Yeah, it's definitely tense geopolitically. I mean, that's the funny thing about the Ukraine conflict, which is that for a while when this was happening, when Russia was stationing troops along the border, everyone was like, we're on the brink of something, we're on the brink of something. And they did shut down trade and there are all

kinds of sanctions against Russia. And ultimately, we just started to learn to live with this conflict. I mean, of course, the U.S. government is paying billions of dollars to support Ukraine and the American taxpayers are feeling the effect of that at home. But ultimately, it doesn't seem like that was enough to spark World War Three. This does seem like more of a tension building moment. But maybe we'll feel differently in six months. You know, people like Lindsey Graham, they've been wanting Iran forever forever they want us inside iran they want to slide on in you know occupy that space and just take it is that why we have a small contingency in jordan are they bait for the warmongers well the other thing too is that intercept is reporting we've got troops in yemen that the this is a white house report saying we did and then in january he said actually no we

don't uh we're we're not sure there said, actually, no, we don't. We're not sure there's any troops there. There's been a secret war in Yemen going on for a decade. U.S. has been supplying weapons, even under Trump. This has been ongoing. The question is, when does it come to a point where Russia, China, or any BRICS nation, for instance, just finally says, yeah, no, it's full scale it's mobilization and would they right like what who's who's going to be the first to admit that we're in war i feel like no country wants to be the one to say like this this is it i think if we get if we make it to the far future they're gonna have a hard time quantifying world war three

is separated from world war two and world war one they're gonna look at this all it's like one long sustained time of violence that's been going on for uh maybe decades i don't think so i mean yeah sort of but world war ii before world war i there was the the war starts because of the tensions then world war ii is kind of born out of consequences from that i mean exactly we've we but look we call world war i and world war ii separate despite the fact that it's all basically the same conflict. But then I'm thinking like past that, you know, we've been kind of doing these weird psyops on each other through, you know, the internet and causing all this turmoil, whether the people claiming it's rigged elections and whatnot. I think they might add those to the idea of what the war has looked like, because we've entered this new digital space where the war is on like the digital battlefront the the physical battlefront we're seeing it escalate now in the way we think of war in the old school ways but i think it's been going on kind of psychologically well that makes me think of like tiktok right i mean when

tiktok rolled out everyone realized what kind of connection it had to the chinese government it was sort of this question of oh what warfare is being played even though we are not actively at you know at war there is there is always uh an effort to have influence over another nation. I don't think that ever went away. I have proof that TikTok is war. They banned pop culture crisis. I thought you were going to say because they created Dylan Mulvaney,

but that's also true. So we have another show at timcast.com, Pop Culture Crisis, hosted by Brett Dasavik and Mary Morgan. Guests on Friday. It's very similar to Timcast IRL in its structure, super chats, commentary, stories, podcasts, live every Monday through Friday, three to five. And it's not a big political show. It's talking about like, oh, hey, this new movie came out, this new video game. The point was to be able to have

someone some way that we could talk about pop culture issues in this company when we're mostly talking about news tiktok banned them what was the reason of community guidelines violations i i call shenanigans i think the real issue is controlling influence uh of their of an adversary making sure that the work we do can't expand timcast irl got got banned from TikTok a while ago. And then, you know, for no real reason given, they don't want us to be able to have influence because the narrative and the message that we share is good for the United States.

And the narrative and message that's on TikTok, Dylan Mulvaney, for instance, is destroying the future generations. I got banned from TikTok right after I posted a video of me on InfoWars. And I think Alex's voice just like trips a wire on TikTok. And it was like immediately gone. I was like, I don't even care. I don't even like TikTok like that.

It was fun sharing videos of me on InfoWars, but it was immediate. But TikTok has such an influence on culture right now. I mean, this is what happened after the October 7th conflict broke out. This was one of the things that came up, that the conversation that was happening between mainstream media or maybe even on, let's say, Instagram was different from the conversation that was happening among younger Gen Z on TikTok. The difference between the position on being pro-Israel versus being pro-Palestine became obvious on social media more than anywhere else.

I mean, it was social media and college campuses that really led people to believe that, oh, wait, they have conflicting opinions here. We didn't expect it. Yeah. Are you on TikTok? No, I banned myself from TikTok. Me too. I never got on.

The moment it came into existence. Fair play. Well, good. But it is still highly influential. Did you guys see that Florida is proposing like banning social media for anyone under 16? With parental consent, right? There's a couple of states that are considering laws like this. So a kid can go on if the parents consent to it?

Yeah, you have to have parental consent if you're a minor, if you're under 18. Just like if a kid wants to go to an adult bookstore, he just needs parental consent, right? Yeah, and I can't remember which state. I'll look it up in a second. But one of them, you know, you can't just say, oh, yeah yeah and i can't remember which state i'll look it up in a second but one of them you know you can't just say oh yeah my parents said it was okay you have to they have to like sign a document and send it into the company uh which i find interesting but again to your point you know the challenges that this generation is facing in terms of you know trying to understand the challenges that face their young generation are very different

than the parents who came out of world war one or the parents who came out of World War II. And I think so much of that has to do with the digital age. I mean, we always see that during times of threat, you know, like after 9-11, theoretically, this was a point where a lot of people enrolled in enlisted in the military, and there was a sort of spike in patriotism, but that goes away, people have their own questions about the government's actions. This generation is seeing so much tension and conflict. And in fact, the fact that they're always plugged in, they're always seeing clips of awful things all the time. Could you inspire them to come together?

So you're saying that social media created the perfect candidates for drone operators? Maybe. Or just the perfect candidates to be disengaged because they are ultimately overstimulated by everything they see. I think it created a generation of broken-brained people. Well, that's what the biggest danger is. As my children became teenagers, and of course, I could watch on my iPhone what apps they were downloading.

And my 14-year-old son downloads Snapchat. Oh, heck no. That comes off now. You take it off or I take the phone instantly. Yeah, because Snapchat's creepy. Well, it was creepy. But, you know, look, those guys on his baseball team, they're sharing photos, pictures, and it would be incredibly easy for them to make that fatal mistake

and they're branded as a sexual predator for the rest of their lives. Yeah, this is where teenagers share photos of themselves and it doesn't matter. Law doesn't say you or anyone else. The law just says, photo of a minor done that's it and so they've had like 14 year old boys and girls have to register as sex offenders because they took pictures of themselves and shared it but that's the law says or there's been a couple cases where people will connect with them effectively catfish them they'll send like a nude photo or whatever and then they'll blackmail them and say like we

have this we're going to ruin your life there was was a I think a kid from Minnesota who killed himself over this. I mean, this was this is like a new danger that I think parents are have never had to contend with because they're basically inviting strangers into their home constantly to the cell phone. I want to I want to jump to the story from The Telegraph hosted by Yahoo News. World War Three is approaching fast and too few are willing to admit why. Well, the article is very interesting. It does mention that there was a drone attack on a U.S. base near Jordan, but it mentions the core reason is that authoritarian regimes are failing. Iran, Russia, for instance, struggling to keep

themselves afloat are going to start making moves. I think it's actually a really good argument. Faced with an existential crisis, either economically due to population collapse or otherwise, look, a drowning person is not, they thrash about violently. And, you know, they say when you're going to rescue someone who's drowning, you have to approach them from behind. Otherwise, they drag you down with them. For these countries that are facing existential crises, and that includes the United States, there's an option. Go to war. And we've seen it time and time again. And there's a lot of parallels to everyone's favorite empire, the Roman Empire. But I want to point out a few very important things. The World Socialist website,

you know, we love them. They report British army chief issues call for conscription and whole of nation mobilization for war. It's not just Britain. Sweden has issued a call for their citizens to prepare for war. And there have been reports that people have begun signing up to be conscripted. So in Sweden, they have a system where you fill out a questionnaire and determine whether or not you will be forced to join the war effort. France 24 says, Sweden's call for population to prepare for war sparks panic and criticism. Now, I don't consider the World Socialist website to be all that credible, but here's the interesting thing. I believe conscription is the appropriate word based on the facts. Corporate news doesn't want to say conscription because of what it means to the average person. So, of course,

the Times.co.uk says UK must train citizens for war with Russia, says army chief. Let me just let me just try that one for you again. UK must train citizens for war with Russia. In other words, citizens should prepare to be conscripted into war. The Times doesn't want to say it. Corporate press doesn't want to publicly state we will conscript you and force you to go to war because that is never popular. And I believe if all the big outlets said right now Sweden and the UK have issued calls for conscription, then there would be a major push against escalation, escalate, escalation to stop the war. So they want to keep that out of sight, out of mind. But in the end, for those that are here in the United States, if Joe Biden decides tonight to issue a retaliatory strike on, say, the coast of Iran or something on specific

targets, and he says for too long, Iran has been supplying the Houthi rebels and other militia groups in Iraq and Syria. And this has now resulted in the death of three American citizens. America will retaliate. We will not back down. If he strikes Iran and Iran says, we're going to war and then calls in their allies and this escalates dramatically.

Do not be surprised if they start sending out draft orders. I have, unfortunately, a son of draft age. And when I say unfortunately, I don't, it's not unfortunate that I have a son. I like my son. It's unfortunate that he's draft age. It's unfortunate that he is draft age. And it is, as a father, not something that I want to see happening, obviously. But in my entire life, though, I've always grown up always thinking that if we're attacked, if our assets are attacked overseas, that we must retaliate. The problem today is I don't believe anything anymore. I don't believe anything. I mean, and when we start talking about conscription in Sweden or especially in the UK,

it's like Orwell spinning around going, I told you so. I told you so. I love my father, but I remember that one of the first big fights we had, I was maybe 11 or 12. We were watching some war footage on TV and I told him uh i will never be drafted they'll draft they'll try and i'll never fight those wars i don't know just felt inherent to my soul he he got really mad like how dare you not want to protect your country and stuff but my dad buys into a lot of like the corporate press although watching fox 5 and stuff he buys into the that whole you know narrative of patriotism and he's from an older generation yeah and i get I get it. And I get why he was mad. I always thought about that fight,

but I believe a double down on that feeling I had then. But you know what? It's sad, isn't it? That there used to be a generation of people who said, I believe in my country wholeheartedly. I will fight for them. But the problem is we have seen time and time again, the military industrial complex and special interests

send young men, mostly men, off to die for no reason other than their bottom line. Yeah. And I should add to that because of what Tim just said. I grew up next to a military base, seeing basically people who are my surrogate brothers and sisters, older brothers and sisters who were cadets, come back with no limbs, going to die for wars that made no sense. So that was the world I was born up into and it made absolutely no sense to me. Yeah. This is the conversation my family had when my brother enlisted and he deployed to afghanistan with the marine corps was like but why are we here like you know i respect that that was the path that was right for him and you know everything else but also is this the the operation that i think

is most value for your time not to mention all the risks but all service members families are going to worry at the risk it was like we don't even need to be here. Yeah. And you're going anyways. Risk is important. Yeah. And we should be, you know, and the military to some degree can be important. But what has become the industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about, we are living

in that horrible nightmare right now. If we can't clearly define that, the answer to that question, why are we here? Why are we going? That's why we have to have Congress make these decisions and not unilaterally made by one decrepit old senile man or whoever's controlling it. Yeah, wow. I usually call him a reanimated corpse. You're very nice to him. Well, it's because I'm much closer to his age than you are. You are doing way better than that man is. Man, I'll put in quotes.

That's the thing too. Trump and Biden are not so far off in age and there's obviously a huge difference i mean there are other politicians that are close to biden age and he is just not deteriorating at some point you have to just feel unkind being like you are falling apart sir but you really are we we got a funny super chat maury says gen z is not fighting for this country lolol here's a here's a thought excuse me sir i noticed that you just illegally crossed the border would you like to be a citizen of this country here's a gun we're sending you to ukraine the likelihood i think is is actually fairly fairly great in the event of a major war that the u.s look it used to be i love i love the history of of rifling there used to be oh i love the story of like the last samurai used to be, oh, I love the story of the last samurai in Japan.

They were considered high-ranking, high-class, high-status, trained warriors. And then we bring them rifles, and we're like, you don't need to train anybody. You just hand it to them, you tell them to point and shoot. And all of a sudden, the samurai are considered much, much less important. You don't need to train someone from birth to be a fighter anymore when you can hand a gun to somebody. So I don't think people realize that with all these migrants coming through the border,

the U.S. doesn't care at all. If they're like, if we can bring in 6 million people, all the people on the right keep saying military age males. Yeah, congratulations. The U.S. government says we got 6 million military age males and we'll tell them, you have no choice.

You are fighting on our behalf the question is is what direction are they going to point the gun doesn't matter literally literally does not matter you you you you just drop six you start transporting people in mass to an enemy nation and it's bedlam for that country no matter what i mean you look at what's happening in the united states because of it these people sleeping in airports the conflict the cast this is not even conflict it's just them literally being there causing problems. You look at the United States saying, we're going to give you weapons.

You win that war. You're a citizen of the United States. A bunch of them are going to say, you got it, boss. But even if they don't, just sending them over to Iran or whatever is going to cause chaos. Sounds like the Roman Empire to me. Yeah. And to me, the question is like, if they are then back here

and they're like, yes, thank you, government. you gave me my citizenship and i can fire a gun and they're like now attack fellow citizens because we said so the loyalty is concerning me i actually thought you're gonna go a different direction which is like i would be fine to send our military to our southern border to defend it i don't know why you would go other places i think the good news here is uh if we do send a bunch of these criminal aliens in the united states and say you can be a citizen if you go fight in iran or whatever the good news is the u.s doesn't keep its promise to its veterans so once they come back they'll be completely discarded and the right won't have to worry about them becoming citizens this is very grim cast today we're very

grim cast yeah well you know it's hard not to be when you're seeing this stuff in the news you know what seeing this this corpse about to announce more war it's terrible no mean tweets that's right thank god thank god i just keep they wouldn't even really that mean come on i just keep thinking about something to look forward to every day i love the you ever see the journalist when they were like since trump when trump uh when biden wins the white house they're like i used to have to wake up at three in the morning for my phone buzzing a tweet from donald trump and my editor's like you have to write it up now and they're like i used to have to wake up at three in the morning for my phone buzzing a tweet from donald trump and my editor's like you have to write it up now and they're like now he's gone and we don't or he got banned we don't have to worry about it anymore and it's it's finally where i'm relaxing just good old war that's all we get to write about we just have war

no tweets and i see these news these news items and i think about the way biden talks and just how weak he is and i'm afraid that this administration is gonna wanna overcompensate for his weakness by doing something real crazy in the next few days. Because it's just, who knows, going hard on Iran, dropping lots of bombs, just making the people know, this is why you should vote for me. I'm a strong man. Joe Biden has never said once in his life,

unless he plagiarized it from someone else, obviously. But I just, seeing all of that, I am like having flashbacks to um the day they announced biden winning and all the people in new york city dancing in the streets and popping champagne i see stephen pinker dancing in his living room on how happy he is and this is what they got i think we will absolutely have some serious mobilization this year i don't know if i would call it world War Three. I mean, whatever. You know, World War Three is trending on Twitter and people are keep keep saying that this move by Biden could trigger it. And there's there's smarter and more prominent political figures

than me around the world saying we're already in it, especially because of this. Fine. But I got to say it's an election year. Joe Biden's in trouble. I would not be surprised if we go to war with Iran. I think it's in fact, I think it's greater than chance. Does wartime presidents get reelected? Yeah. And I wonder if that could backfire on Joe Biden. But I think outside of whether or not Biden could get reelected, the deep state intelligence agencies and the military industrial complex are saying, if Donald Trump gets elected, we ain't getting our war.

Go to war now. Then even if Trump wins, he can't back us out. But how bad does this world war have to be before it's a greater threat to our democracy than was January 6th? I'm sorry. Nothing on earth could ever be more of a threat than January 6th. I don't even know why. That was like 9-11. Yeah, it was all of them.

Unbelievable. like 9-11s yeah yeah it was all of them unbelievable no and that's a great point of like reading these articles where the u.s the uk must train citizens for war how they can downplay anything but also inflate like something like january 6th into the worst you know the way the politicians talk about it it's d-day it's pearl harbor it's 9-11 uh but that's what they do these are the tricks they play you know the the death of language this is what they constantly do it's it do. It's actually really scary because so many people still buy into it. That's exactly right. Yeah. Do you think people will shift their opinion on Biden if he were to take us into war? Do you think that could help him get reelected?

Every single time we have this situation with a president, that's what we expect is going to happen. That's where the whole wag the dog idea came from. And I just don't know that, first of all, I don't know that Biden is going to be there anyway. I don't know what the round table here consensus is. I'm saying he's not making it. Because he's not going to make it health-wise or they're going to pull him as a candidate? Oh, they're going to pull him. They're going to have to pull him. They have no choice. I mean, just watch him this past weekend. He can't find his way anywhere any longer. All the signs are there. My father passed away as a result of Alzheimer's.

And I'm watching this unfold, what we saw in my own family. So it's not going to happen. He's not going to be there. But whoever's pulling his puppet strings, maybe that's what they need is World War III. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's possible. Who's pulling the puppet strings?

I think their hope is, look, when we have Trump, no new wars. Timelines for withdrawal. Joe Biden gets in. What's the first thing he does? Reverses course. We get more troops. We get Syria, troops in Syria being bolstered. And whoever remembers us declaring war on Syria, just when was that?

When did we deploy? I don't think we ever declare war on anything anymore. We get war in Ukraine. We get escalation with China. We've got U.S. strike groups moving through the Strait of Taiwan. You've got Venezuela and Guyana. It is bubbling up. And the

military industrial complex guys are salivating. But they may be thinking, you know, Joe can't win. Nikki Haley is in their back pocket. She says she's going to stay here until Super Tuesday. I could not believe it. I couldn't believe it. I'm like,

we got a live event we're planning in Virginia for Super Tuesday. And I said, let's be real. It's not going to be a Super Tuesday. I don't know what it'll be. And then she comes out

and she's like, I'm not backing out until at least then. It's like, okay lady, but that's their plan. You got to get some kind of warmongers up there.

But if they can't win, they'll take their consolation prize war with iran before trump gets in and there's nothing anyone you can't stop it joe biden's the president republicans in congress won't do anything so literally the best course of action is you vote for trump and then hope he can wind things down as quickly as possible when he becomes president they're gonna pull biden the democrats and then replace him with Nikki Haley. That's what they're going to do. I'd be surprised.

I wouldn't be surprised. I think- How funny would that be? That would be funny. I don't think she would actually do it. She sounds a lot like them. It'll be interesting to see. I mean, this is what I'm so interested with Joe Manchin right now, because he said, I'm

not going to run for Senate again in West Virginia. And he's been in since 2010 which the other fact of this that i love is that he got nominated or appointed to the senate after uh senator robert bird died in office at 96 after being in office for 51 years i mean the west virginia senate seat has like just basically never been available in american history uh but his all everything he's saying i mean he just had this interview with cnn saying the white house is controlled by far far left people and he said this a couple times about biden and so they're same with um dean phillips all of his stuff if you look at his bio that he has on his official uh congressional website right now is like i am

a moderate so there is this movement within the party to say like we are actually not like them please don't lump us in with the rest of them yeah let's let's talk about the conspiracy theory that says joe biden will get re-elected with the help of taylor swift did you guys see that baltimore sun said taylor swift should be the vp yes no yeah i should actually pull that one up oh the baltimore sun very very busy right now i don't think she could actually do it. The Baltimore Sun wrote that after the Ravens lost? Check this out. That's very disloyal.

The Baltimore Sun. Forget Kamala Harris put Taylor Swift on Joe Biden's ticket. Read her commentary. So she stops coming to football games. And they said that people

are excited about the Ravens and the Baltimore Sun is excited because Taylor Swift might come to Baltimore to watch the game. Did some Googling, blah, blah, blah. She will be 35 years old

on December 13th, 2024. Her net worth is $1.1 billion. She can afford to take what for her would be a volunteer job. Yada, yada, yada, yada. Okay, for sure, for sure. Right now, you've got two big conspiracy theories that are kind of overlapping with each other. The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens. Everybody out here is pissed off.

We're in Maryland, so everybody out here is Ravens fans and they're losing it. They're saying the refs were not making, they're making bad calls. They weren't calling out pass interference. It's BS. They're pissed. But you know, that's sports, right? Well, the conspiracy theory is

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. It is a, it's a psyop by I'm assuming the Democrats and the deep state, I guess. So that at the Super Bowl, she can endorse the Democratic Party and tell them to go vote? That's basically what the PSYOP plan is? I guess.

That's her arc. She's been slowly getting into politics over the last few years. I mean, she endorsed Biden in 2020, but the thing is, she's not very helpful right now. She's literally on the international. She's about to start the international leg of her tour it's not like she's it's very unlikely she's just gonna drop in at biden's campaign stops if biden's even there himself i think this is a sign up i think that's a fact in what way do you think that she are the two pr people got together and said hey taylor swift would you like to do a celebrity relationship like we've done with insert every other celebrity it'll make us a bunch of money and she was like sounds good so it it's a psyop

in the sense I'm being somewhat facetious but I love when the left's going to take that one out of context and my point is that this happens all the time celebrity publicists say who can we put together the NFL was like that'd be great we'd love to have Taylor at the games how much will this cost Taylor's people are like look you show up to a bunch of games. You hang out with your friends. You do this fake relationship. Everybody makes hundreds of millions of dollars. The ratings are going to skyrocket for the NFL. And there's a lot of money to be made with the Super Bowl. You know how much ads cost. We bring in those ratings. There's going to be a ton of money. They offer her a bunch of money. I think it's more likely that she's just doing stupid publicist nonsense.

That being said, I think the more plausible conspiracy theory is that ratings of the Super Bowl have been in decline. A U.S. cultural homogeneity has gone. I mean, we used to have like, yeah, Super Bowl, everybody watched. Everybody watched Big Bang Theory. Now nobody does. And so there's this play like we're going to create this romance love story, Travis and Taylor, and he's going to propose to her or something big at the Super Bowl.

And if that's the case, all the people claiming that the game was rigged because the Ravens seem to have thrown the match or that the refs weren't calling it properly. It's because the Chiefs are going to win. Taylor Swift and they're going to have their movie-esque romance. And Travis proposes to her or something. And what makes the most sense is it's publicity. It's marketing. So is Kelsey part of the psy-up, or is he being psy-upped? He thinks they're really together. In the literal sense of what I think is going on,

Travis and Taylor are engaged in a publicity stunt that's it look look i just want to stress this sorry man 10 of these happen per year publicists will be like jennifer aniston and insert celebrity do you guys want to be seen together at the club and we'll get a bunch of press generated about you so i look at this and i see it as no different what they started dating what at the beginning of the season is that what it was in july i don't know when football season starts i'll be honest isn't isn't that the beginning of the season training camp i feel weird because i'm typically the guy who thinks most things are psyops but this one so it's weird that we've had this role reversal but like to me this just just seems like one of those organic things of her being a victim

of propaganda becoming this like political activist over the last few years we've seen her crying in that in that documentary she made about abortion yeah but she barely is she barely is until and the only like real uh legislative issue i've seen her get behind is anti-stalking laws which seems very applicable to her life right uh but sorry i don't want to cut you no i just think like and i also know these publicity stunts do happen i also know there's history of things like the world series being rigged so these things are all plausible we say these things people might think we sound crazy there's there's history there's evidence of these things happening yeah with her i just feel like she's such a victim of the ideology that she's a part of and and the news

she the news diet see i i completely disagree how many instances can you name of taylor swift doing political activism i think of that documentary i think of in private one time she was talking with her parents about how she wanted to help biden the only time i can think of it actively other than the time she like held up those biden 2020 cookies was when she campaigned for uh was it marsh not marsh black water that's what i'm talking about in tennessee and one of the issues she got specifically behind was anti-stalking laws. And that was in support of Marsha? I'm going to look it up

because I don't want to say the wrong thing. I doubt it was in support of Marsha Blackburn. I thought it was about abortion. I'll tell you. No, not abortion. It was anti-stalking for sure.

What really grinds my gears on this whole thing about everybody claiming she's a Democrat psyop is that she posted on Instagram that the Soros family robbed her. Yes. And I'm like,

my friends, my brothers, when Taylor Swift says Soros bad, you go, Taylor is so right. Amen. And you go to all of her fans and you're like, can you believe what the Soros did to Taylor? Yes. They're bad. And then what you do is when they're like, yeah, that is bad. You go, now look at this article about George Soros and everything else he does. And they're going to be like wow those are bad people she primed an entire generation to be aware of and

angry with the sources and for some reason there are conservatives hell-bent on pushing the narrative that despite the fact she publicly complained she was robbed by them she's secretly working for them no if she's a psyop my think my thought is that she's actually unintentionally a PSYOP for the country's pro-natalist movement. I love all those articles that are like, if they get engaged this summer, there will be a baby boom. Because all of these girls will look at their boyfriends and say, but where's my ring? We need to have children immediately.

When Taylor Swift declares that it is time, because what's interesting about her tour right now is it's the Eros tour, right? She's giving a little bit of music from everything she's put out so she is sort of capstoning her career she's got this attractive new boyfriend she could push off the coast have some kids inspire women around her i don't think it's a democrat thing i think it's a pro natalist i'm actually going to combine what you both are saying and i'm actually gonna say screw what i was saying earlier about her not being a psyop and actually she's positioning herself to become the new Soros that's after that era is over she becomes Soros what if the real the real what's happening is that China through apps like TikTok and social media have been manipulating digital

platforms to make young people sterilize themselves get abortions and push all this stuff and the real psyop is as you described getting Taylor Swift to have this movie-esque romance relationship at the Super Bowl. Then announced she's having babies to get all the young girls to try and be wives and have babies and reignite America. Look, I'm in love with you guys. I've had this. Someone can go into the archives of Pop Culture Crisis. I gave this theory a long time ago because when she broke up with her other boyfriend of six years, which, by the way, that's too long to date. I'm sorry.

It just is. She would write these lyrics about way, that's too long to date. I'm sorry. It just is. She would write these lyrics about how like she wants to be married. She wants to have a child, whatever else. And then they broke up. And so I honestly think she's 34 years old. She is ready to settle down.

She's at the capstone of her career. She is going to lead our country's rising birth rates. And I think we should all thank her for that. Maybe, but let's look, going back to this big thing where everyone's claiming she's going to endorse

Democrats, they're saying it frustrates me. But a lot of conservatives are like, she's secretly working for Soros. She's going to endorse Joe Biden. Now the Democrats win. Let me show you some numbers to assuage your fears. A Taylor Swift Instagram post helped drive a surge in voter registration from September 22nd, 2023. I saw a post by that guy what's brian tyler

cohen or whatever his name is i don't know they love playing these these weird games he said voter.org saw 150 000 people visit the site and a 115 increase in 18 year old voters the wild thing about it is first the 115 the 115,000 people, 150,000 people showing up on that day is relative to nothing. He didn't say it was an increase or a decrease. It's quite literally just their standard traffic. Check us out from NPR. They say, when Taylor Swift speaks, her fans listen. No, they don't. That's actually fake news. On Tuesday morning, the singer posted a short message on Instagram encouraging her 272 million followers to register to vote. Afterward, the website she directed her fans to, the nonpartisan nonprofit vote.org, recorded more than 35,000 registrations, according to the organization.

They say the 35,000. And you notice how there's this like muck in the in the middle. There's this patter. You scroll down. The 35,252 new registrations on National Voter Registration Day were the most since 2020, the organization said, and a 23%

jump over last year. Do you know what that means? The most we can attribute to Taylor Swift's post is 8,107 voters. She's got 272 million followers. They're not all American, but I'd have to estimate more than half are. Well, maybe even not.

272 million? Yeah, she's probably got 100 million followers. I think half is an easy thing to say. Half? Yeah, because she's an American personality, but with massive worldwide appeal. Even 100 million. Half of those are probably already thing to half. Yeah, because she's an American personality, but with massive worldwide appeal, even 100 million, half of those are probably already registered to vote. So let's say 50 million unregistered.

Let's let's you know what? I'm sorry. Let's be as fair as possible. Let's say only 50 million of our followers are American. Half are unregistered. 25 million. She got 8000 people to register. I'm sorry.

She could not get people to sign up for our website for free. And everyone's like, she's going to endorse the Democrats. Yo, I ain't worried about it at all. When Brian Tyler or whatever his name is tweeted this, I checked the numbers. And the fascinating thing is when it said 115% increase in 18 year old voters, that number was like 17. It was like a remarkably small number increase and it's like it was a 72 increase from 2019 and 115 from last year and i'm like wait a minute that means even

less people registered the year before how many people has scott pressler personally registered in comparison i think who is more effective let's get scott no no no question substantially more than taylor swift i wouldn't doubt it easily I wouldn't doubt it. Easily. I wouldn't doubt it. Much like modern feminism being demeaning to women, this idea that Taylor could change a woman's vote is weird. Because I also wonder how many conservative women are fans of Taylor's and they could separate her politics with her art. I see a lot on Twitter. This is true for so many people. Can you do that?

You know what? What a weird idea, right? Can you correlate the apparent disinterest in her fans and their politics to her fans taste in music? Guarantee. I guarantee Facebook's algorithm knows your political persuasion. Oh, God. Even if you don't say you're a Republican, it'll it'll it'll map it all out for sure. So for Taylor Swift, I mean, how many on Instagram?

They know exactly who's voting. And we know this is true because we had Dr. Robert Epstein on. And he said that Facebook sent Democrats, 100% of Democrats got a reminder to vote on election day. Only, what was it, 59% of Republicans got the same message? People need to watch that episode. It's on the culture war. It's a crazy, crazy episode. Like, how do you cheat an election?

It's really easy. Facebook says all Democrats get reminded to vote half are republicans that's it they're allowed to do it's free speech yeah what do they do wrong because they didn't promise to do anything right like they don't remind equally it's we spoke free speech until the fbi comes and sits in your office mr zuckerberg and tells you what you can and cannot publish on your platform. Well, let's be real. They're likely going to his office and saying, make sure to remind all the Democrats. Yeah. What do you think of Taylor Swift?

What do you think her effect on our nation's political landscape is? Well, I've been in the music business long enough to understand her connection. I actually get it, although I'm not a fan. I can look at her. I get it. You're not a closeted Taylor Swift fan? No, no, not in the least. Shake it off? I don't a fan. I can look at her. I get it. You're not a closeted Taylor Swift fan? No, not in the least. Shake it off?

I don't believe you. No. What I'm going to say, if you listen to the song and you can see and understand, if you know anything about music at all, you understand why that song connects. But that doesn't mean that I like that kind of music.

It's not what I listen to. I've had to sing it before myself. Are there videos of that? I like Taylor Swift's music. It's not what I listen to. I've had to sing it before myself. I like videos of that. I like Taylor Swift's music. Probably not all of it. Like some of the songs, actually, I'm just like, that's not a good song. But she's got her hits that I really do like. However, I must say, if you asked me to choose a song and like put me up between Taylor Swift swift and like tool i'm gonna pick tool every single

time i will put sober on repeat 100 times before i play a single taylor swift song that being said if shake it off comes on or trouble like i know the words yeah a little bit like and they're fun songs i wouldn't choose listen to it but i like it you know what i mean it's like you can like some kind of food you don't order it if you get the choice you get the choice you're gonna go for like a you know i don't know like a ribeye medium medium rare but if someone gave you a filet that's good too no i've had my own corporate dance band for 23 years we have to play shake it up right it's mandated by law it is corporate dance band is a good name for a band let's jump to this story where

it's getting freaky now everybody thinks there's a psyop conspiracy theory and this one actually made it substantially worse x blocks searches for taylor swift after explicit ai fakes circulate so long story short on on twitter slash x a bunch of extremely graphic images of Taylor Swift started emerging. Yo, these pictures were crazy. And it never ends because you take two seconds to make more. But now, at a time when everyone is suggesting that Taylor Swift is part of a conspiracy to rig the Super Bowl so that she can help the Democrats win in some way. This controversy around AI images happens, which results in one of the biggest social media platforms in the world shutting down your ability to search for things related to her. This is a media blackout on Taylor Swift.

The Twitter X is the news. I mean, even Elon is talking about it. All these news industries, news organizations are collapsing because we get our information directly from the pipeline on X. Now, what happens if X says for any amount, for whatever the amount of time was, you cannot search for Taylor Swift. Was there a video circulating of Taylor Swift accepting money from George Soros? I don't mean that literally. I'm making a joke. But like, what would, if someone said, I got the scoop, I have the proof right here, Taylor Swift accepting money, can't, and they post it, nobody can find it. Yeah.

This is like the deranged evolution of the Barbra Streisand effect. What happened with the photos of her house back in the day, you take something away, it makes everyone want to go look at it. And this is like a terrible thing to want to go look up, but I guarantee you, it only made people look it up more. But yeah, I see that point. It's almost like they're Hunter Biden-ing the Hunter Biden laptop story to the Taylor Swift story now. So NuX is just like old Twitter in some regard. Is that disappointing?

Did you- Yeah, I was not surprised though. I've seen a lot of things that this new company does that are similar to the old one. You know, I like it. It's more fun, but I don't, the images are terrible. I wish they'd get rid of all the Nancy Pelosi nude AI photos, honestly, as well, because they are damaging my soul and people, they keep popping up in my feed.

I'm like, why? He's not searching for them. He swears. Why? Yeah. Yeah. Imagine. I really need that Pelosi cleavage.

They're going to clip that. Oh, man. Great. Great. Didn't I see today that Elon, his reaction to this was they're going to add up another hundred employees just to monitor content? No. I saw that today.

Oh, that makes me so nervous. We have a super chat from Trump. Trump won. He says, look at Benny Johnson's ex. Soros owns her entire music catalog. I'm going to break this down for you and help you understand exactly what's going on and why Taylor Swift is your greatest opportunity. Conservatives don't waste it. Benny Johnson posts flashback, Taylor Swift.

Let me play the clip for you. It's 15 seconds and you can listen to Taylor in her own words. I had the chance to purchase my music. I had the chance to purchase my music outright. My entire catalog was sold to Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings in a deal that I'm told was funded by the Soros family, 23 Capital and the Carlyle Group. What does that mean? These people who believe that she's a Democrat PSYOP think she is now sold to Soros' family, or funded, sold to someone by that, and that she now has to work for them.

No, no, no. Taylor Swift publicly slammed the Soros family on numerous occasions for stealing her music. They basically outbid her for the rights to her own song, to her own master recordings. She got mad because the amount they were trying to spend in the songs was not actually worth what the songs could generate. So she was losing all of the work she had did for years. She, again, publicly slams them. Then says, I own the artistic composition, but they bought

the masters. I will re-record all of my music to sink Soros' $300 million investment. One of the most epic smackdowns of the Soros family, let me stress, it was something like $300 million and by her going out and re-recording the masters,

she ripped the investment from them to zero while publicly calling them out the opportunity here for anybody who actually looked at this and paying attention is you've got an army of teenage girls who love taylor and when she slams soros you go to them and like if you're like a dad and your daughter loves taylor swift you can go to go to your daughter and say, what happened? Did you see what was Taylor Swift talking about with with the Soros family taking her music from her? And they're going to be like, yeah, because they wanted to try and make money off it.

And then Taylor had to record everything. And then you as the dad can connect with your daughter and go, that's dirty. They why would they do that to Taylor? Man, those Soros people sure are bad. There you go. This is the argument that people are making right now. Like, I'll see these posts from dads being like, I saw this video of this dad with like his young girls,

like maybe like, you know, two, five and seven or something. And they're all cheering, watching the Super Bowl or the Chiefs game because Taylor Swift is there. And they're like, wow, so exciting. Taylor Swift is organically driving women to like bond with their dads and to get into football, whatever else. Like conservative dads could do this too.

They could use George Soros. They could use George Showers. They could talk about these things. They'd probably be pretty interesting conversations about copyright law and like intellectual property. They're just at the same for whatever reason, deciding like, no, we can't talk about this because Taylor Swift endorsed Joe Biden one time. She endorsed Joe Biden. She's in the documentary saying she's a Democrat, all that stuff.

Of course, Hollywood is. This is what they do. Big donors, big companies. They go to celebrities and they say, you're on our side or else. In this instance, they ripped her off. They bought her music out from underneath her in a dirty move. And her statement was something like, I hope it was worth it. Because two things, the amount of money they bought the music for it, the music recordings would not generate that much money. So she couldn't pay it. She's like, I'd have to spend a third of my net worth to buy the rights to my music. Now, never make that money back.

But she then rerecorded everything, re-released those albums. And now no one will ever care about whatever the Soros family bought. So you can criticize her for being a Democrat all day and night. But I am flabbergasted by the conservatives who keep pushing the fake narrative, the lie. I don't get it. I seriously someone spell it out for me why they keep lying and trying to make it seem like she's working for George Soros. I there's nothing. I don't get it. I can't answer that question.

But I mean, notwithstanding the loss of opportunity that conservatives or Republicans had by what she did by coming out against Soros, speaking ill of him, it didn't matter. Ultimately, at the end of the day, another oligarch was going to buy her music anyway, because the mob has always owned the music industry. And ultimately, they own the contracts. I'm sorry. This is the PSYOP. Like, guys, if there's a PSYOP, the PSYOP is sock puppet accounts on social media posting things like this. George Soros with Taylor Swift on puppet strings. I get it.

It's actually not a completely unfair thing. But how can you guarantee to sever any opportunity someone had to actually have a celebrity on your side it's this i i this is so backwards taylor swift publicly criticizes soros on numerous occasions and for some reason the entire wave of social media posts from the right is that she's working for him i'm like that's a psyop right there i don't know who's doing it or what but i'm sorry if i'm gonna believe a conspiracy theory it's that deep state, whoever, or whatever it is you guys think. We're like, oh no.

Oh no. Taylor Swift came out against George Soros. We need control of this quick. Pretend to be MAGA and claim she's working for Soros. And it worked. Okay. But I also have like five layers of tinfoil hats on at all times. And I could be like, well, Soros told her you got to come out publicly

against me so then people don't don't buy the scion i would agree with that if the narrative was she was against soros right but it's not all these conservatives just keep hammering that claim over and over again and i'm like that's weird because imagine if conservatives dads were able to go to their daughters and say i I agree with you. I support you. I can't believe they would do this to Taylor Swift. And now you're going to have a dad. So here's what happens. These teenage girls are watching the Super Bowl.

And the dad is sitting there going, she works for George Soros. And the girls are going, dad, she hates Soros. No, she works for him. Creating a divide between the conservative dads and their daughters. Because the dads believe something that's wrong. And I don't know why people keep pushing it. It's almost like. And then they don't have children.

And also our birth, our teenage pregnancies go up. And it ruins everything. Conservative dads. This is our moment. Come on. It's almost like Q fractured into a billion different conspiracy theories. And now people are just, everything's a conspiracy. Which I understand because lots of things are conspiracy theories.

And the government does really dark, deranged things all the time. um but yeah this doesn't feel like it's just we're such a low trust society right you can't trust anything that comes out you kind of should be we can't even look at taylor swift dating like the hunky football player and be like wow good for her but it's also anything that comes out of hollywood i distrust yeah i think you made a good point about her being 34 like here here's a conspiracy theory for you taylor swift is about to hit the wall well also what else is she gonna do right like she is already the highest paid female position she was one of the youngest people to win all kinds of accolades like where does she go from here the thing that she doesn't have in her life is a i mean she has like a family like a

mom and a dad or whatever but like she doesn't have her own kids her best friend is blake lively who has four kids i think with ryan reynolds like you guys you're all men you're going deep into this i don't even know who these people are this is the thing like lively actress married around reynolds i know ryan reynolds his wife they have lots of kids together so that will adopt taylor i think she is like one of their i don't know i don't know whatever but like the thing is i think she's one of their like god parents or something but like i think ultimately taylor swift is so interesting to me because she represents this this thing that all women were supposed to do which is to rise to the top and to be mad at men because they take their career away even though

they're clearly succeeding where men could never succeed i'm sorry there's just no male pop star that has this kind of attention who are female fans and yet ultimately she gets out of this six-year relationship she's singing constantly about wanting to start a family and get married and now she's with this other guy who's been on his podcast saying yes i want to be married he does his podcast with his brother who's happily married to like his college sweetheart with multiple children like this is the rise of a pro-natalist pro-family movement and conservatives just need to embrace it. You made an interesting point.

Stop making everything bad. Or steal it or steal it. Co-opt it. Come on. Exactly. If, if, if the truth is that Taylor Swift is a big psyop and she's like going to go

Democrat ever, the narrative from the right needs to be, to take control of the river that, that massive force coming at you and divert it by instead of attacking the things she does with democrats support the things she's doing like i love that taylor says she wants to have a family she's right and travis saying the same thing how wholesome i i actually am really inspired she doesn't like george soros what a good person make that the focal point right also i've been thinking i'm not a fan of hers i can appreciate

some songs but like the work ethic that went into re-recording everything is crazy. Didn't Michael Jackson buy all the Beatles music catalog? That's the last time I cared about who bought whose catalog was when Jackson bought all of the Beatles. Can you tell that story really quick? Isn't it like McCartney? Didn't McCartney tell Jackson you should own music catalog, and then Jackson turned around and bought the Beatles? He actually outbid McCartney for his own songs. But see, here's the difference between what we're talking about now and then yes jackson turned around and bought the beat he actually he actually outbid mccartney for his own songs but but but see here's the difference between what we're talking about now and then yeah there was no politics involved in that at all now everything is shaded

by politics totally agree we can't get away from it nope man it's just it's just taylor swift pulled off what may be one of the biggest f us to the soros family ever. They bought music for something. I think it was three. Can you fact check me on this? I think it was $300 million. And then by her re-recording it all, she ripped $300 million out of their pockets. That's because their investment becomes zero.

So they bought the masters, not the publishing. So she owns the artist composition, which means the song's core. The recordings she did were bought by Soros and the Carlyle Group and these other investors. She owns the artist composition, which means the song's core. The recordings she did were bought by Soros and the Carlyle Group and these other investors. By re-recording it, that investment was worthless now. Just absolutely worthless. He sold it for close... It's never been disclosed, but they believe it's north of $300 million.

By he, you mean Scooter Braun? Scooter Braun. Yep. And she was saying something like it's not worth it imagine all those songs on streaming platforms how much money will it generate nowhere near that much in their lifetime that means she would have to in like it may have been that they knew taylor wanted her career this is her her life's work and they were probably thinking like you're a billionaire if you want it we're going to drive the price up to 300 million you'll never make that money back

it's ours was she smart enough to realize it wasn't worth it yes and then she said no okay well now and here's the thing maybe that converting swifty phantom this may have been the move to try and control her basically you're a high profile celebrity you work for us now or we will own your life's work you can do nothing about it. Instead, she goes, I will rerecord every single song and you will get nothing. You know who told her to do that? Kelly Clarkson. Really?

Yeah. I'm just telling you. It's like a fascinating wave of characters that you wouldn't expect. I could see this is a great way to bridge the divide between Kanye and Taylor. It should happen because this is all kanye was railing against a year ago my contract people owning my stuff this is what prince talked about uh you know and like this is why more girls came off the air all the things that are she came out unscathed you know i i don't think kanye did let's let's let's jump to completely away from american pop culture

go back to civil war i got good news for everybody. From American Military News, 18,000 Border Patrol agents support Texas and blast the Biden administration. A statement released Thursday by the NBPC, which is the official union of over 18,000 Customs and Border Protection employees, pushed back against what the union described as fake news reports

that the Border Patrol agents would be arresting Texas National Guardsmen at the border. Quote, rank and file BP agents are not going to start arresting Texas National Guard members for following their lawful orders. That's fake news. The Texas National Guard and rank and file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs, period. If Texas National Guard members have lawful orders, then they have to carry out those

orders. So this is great. And I think it shows the emperor has no clothes. Joe Biden is impotent here. I don't know that I believe it completely. Things are always not what they seem. It may be that the Customs and Border Patrol agents are, no, no, no, we're not going to do any of that stuff. They're doing lawful orders.

But behind the scenes, CBP is just saying, say this, avoid conflict or the unionists avoid the conflict, but try and keep doing your job. I want to believe I want to be optimistic. Joe Biden says, go fight. CBP says we're not going to fight over this. Texas National Guard, they're in the right. No conflict. We move on. I think it's a good thing because, as I've said before, the win condition for the left is a civil war starting, not fighting a civil war and winning. So I want to give a shout out to all the, you know what I love? These leftists who love putting my name in their YouTube videos and then arguing something

I've never been in favor of. They're like, Tim Pool's arguing about civil war, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, I have literally said your win condition is starting a civil war and we want to avoid it all costs so thank you and have a nice day but yeah i don't know what you guys think good news uh yeah i i know when i was with carrie lake uh at her senate announcement she shared letters uh she read one with me from a guy who was working border patrol who was like this place is defunct they They're not running this place properly. We need help. I shared that one letter in the last Carrie Lake article I wrote for Scanner. So like people obviously

are going against the administration. They have to, because they see just so much fentanyl pouring over that border. It's terrifying. Wasn't there like some big story where someone died from a fentanyl laced pot recently? I didn't see it.

I can't remember exactly what the story was. I just know that it came up because someone was asking me about it and like, how does these things happen? I'm like, it sounds like they're trying to kill people by doing it. I believe. Yeah, I believe they are. I'm blanking on who it was, but it's a famous celebrity

son. Yeah. Yeah. It was the guy from Pawn Stars, right? Yeah. Pawn Stars. He said, and he blamed, he literally blamed the border yes uh yeah absolutely at carrie lake's announcement uh she filled the stage with parents who lost children to fentanyl in various ways whether it was like you know bring it back to prince really quick people forget prince was on different pain meds someone gave him a counterfeit pill that was fentanyl and that's what it was mac miller right yes supposedly i'm not sure if it was fentanyl

with mac miller or something else but but I know if Prince it was. It's everywhere. It's prevalent. And no one's safe. Not Prince and not the people in these border towns and the rest of this country. Des Dickerson, who was Prince's guitar player in the revolution. He's the guy that wanted the Kamikaze headband in 1999. Sang some of the song.

You know the song. Yes. Well, Des has been a good friend of mine for over 30 years, and he told me absolutely 100% that Prince, that was an accident. This was not something that Prince did to himself by. Oh, yeah. I believe that. And they never caught the person who gave him the counterfeit. Right.

We know Michael Jackson was killed by a doctor, and he spent two years in jail. But Prince's, whoever gave him the counterfeit drug, that was fentanyl. Yeah, I never caught it. Mac Miller was fentanyl, and they put whoever gave it to him in jail as well. It's weird i mean i feel like the obvious answer is close to the border but people are have been so averse to it for so long we're really feeling the consequence of it now i feel like it's a another easy attack vector for china yes pot laced with fentanyl yeah and then a bunch of young people die i mean there

isn't someone from the biden administration is meeting with a representative from China this week. I'm pretty sure this happened once before. Earlier this year, Biden met with Xi Jinping in San Francisco, I think. And they were like, so tell us that you'll stop because a lot of stuff that goes into fentanyl is manufactured in China and shipped to Mexico and comes across the border. And he was like, so please tell us you'll stop that. And they were like, we'll see. We'll think about it. We'll work with you.

Like the fact that we couldn't even get China to commit to being like, OK, fine, we'll stop shipping. And they were like, we'll see. We'll think about it. We'll work with you. Like the fact that we couldn't even get China to commit to being like, okay, fine. We'll stop shipping fentanyl. They like it. We're in a weak position because we made our border weak. And by the way,

people fly, I mean, Chinese people will fly to both South America and to Canada to then traverse into America through the border. Like we're bad on both sides, right?

Like the US-Mexico border has been weak for a long time and we're seeing the effect of it now. But I think it's also important to start talking about what's happening on the northern border where they are seeing a rise in illegal crossings. And especially during this time of year, it's incredibly dangerous for both the border forces that are out there and the people who are crossing because you can actually freeze to death. I appreciate that you bring that up, the Canadian on the cast bringing that up. Thank you very much. Look, team, Canada is important too. It hangs out there, but not all Canada is Justin Trudeau's Canada. I have watched with my own eyes in real time fentanyl being tracked by United States Department of the Military private contractors from China.

I've actually seen it on the computer screen being tracked. And yet when it gets to Mexico, somehow it makes it across. It's like some operation fast and furious situation. Like we know where it is. We're tracking it. Then it just backfires. It's a sincere desire to stop it.

But once it arrives in Mexico, then it breaks down from there. Crazy. The cartels are running those, some of those border towns. I mean, the amount of fentanyl is millions of pounds at one of those places i forget what the what town it was maybe near tucson but it's it's apocalyptic how much fentanyl is coming through and the idea that china doesn't know about this when they have one of the most extensive like uh surveillance

states in the world they're saying oh we don't know where it's coming oh yeah we have no idea who's making this also and also that's just a fact no they're catching that's a better there's so much coming i'm having a real hard time deciding whether i'm more afraid of what's happening in the middle east right now are we going to have world war three or about what's going on at the border i'm still struggling between the two i think we should put the border first i mean that's my personal opinion right like i can't say everything that's going to happen abroad, but I can say it is crazy to me that we aren't all like immediately secure the border. It's crazy to me that Texas is saying or the federal government is saying, Texas, take

that razor wire out so people swim across the Rio Grande rather than go through a legal port of entry while they're trying to illegally enter this country. Like, these are things that are within our control. And we're actively saying, but look over there. Look over there. Should we get involved over there? Why don't we shut our own door? I mean, I've said this before a couple of times on the show.

We should lock our door before we say, by the way, this neighborhood is dangerous. Like if the world is a dangerous place right now, why aren't we shoring up resources at home? But to Tim's point earlier, it's because the military industrial complex wants to have the war over there because they can then play with all of their big toys. They can't play with their of their big toys they can't play with their big toys well why don't they suggest deploying troops to the border right i mean maybe it wouldn't give you the paycheck that it would if you were engaged internationally but

at least then you would still have some income coming through not that you should be in support of the military industrial conflict but i'm just saying they could make money off of anything if they make it look like it's worth deploying our troops they just don't but that our troops should be at the border that's exactly where they should be. They shouldn't be over there in Jordan in a limited deployment of being cannon fodder for the, you know, the Lindsey Graham's and, you know, of the world. I'm afraid you saying big toys overseas is going to give some people really bad ideas of using them on the border at some point, but they won't because they don't care about the border.

You know, like what are they going to do to these people at some point? Or they're't because they don't care about the border. You know, like what are they gonna do to these people at some point? Or they're turning on us. Yeah, these are like our honorary citizens now. Like these people that are coming across the border, they're given like Thanksgiving, in Chicago they're given like Thanksgiving meals and stuff. And they're like, you know, just random families.

And it's like, well, we're putting Chicagoans- Don't ever try to migrate here legally, which I know your family's had experience, my family's had experience with this. Like anyone who has had to do it, you guys have to figure it out on your own. But if you come illegally, we'll give you a support.

The border in Yuma, watching the border patrol sit at the, at the wall, waiting with luggage tags and bottles of water and their van to take the people to the HQ, where if they have a number to someone in the States and that person picks up, they will fly you there for free is,

is insane. Totally insane stuff. And it was happening constantly. Watching these individuals come across, and you see the piles of the wristbands. You've seen those. Oh, yeah. And the different color.

See, they are the cartel's product, and that's what those wristbands represent. And when they reach different transfer stations, they get a new colored wristband. But it's cool. We'll continue to let the cartel treat humans like products. We'll promote human smuggling by keeping our border open

so that Joe Biden can say, well, Trump is the one that closed the border and I'm the one who opened it. Aren't I a better person for that? When actually you're encouraging horrible atrocities to happen to, you know, I'm sure there are

some very desperate people who think this is the right path forward. I think there are also people who just know I can have an advantageous life if I illegally cross into America. This whole system is crazy. And yet we're supposed to pretend that Democrats are supporting something good by saying, no, no, border restrictions are somehow bad. That seems crazy.

It's another overcompensation. Even though Obama was the one I believe who had people in cages, they'd say it was Trump. So he's got to overcompensate for the Trump cage. Yeah. So by doing that, he's just opened everything up. Well, humans can be a product here, but they're going to be cannon fodder over there. And that's the conflict that we're looking at. Do you feel like during your time dabbling in journalism, the conversation around illegal immigration has changed very much?

Or do you feel like we're just more amplified on positions that parties already held? It's more amplified. And I'm one of those libertarians who does not believe in open borders because we live in a dangerous world. I have a utopian libertarian ideal. If I take the test, I'm a full-on anarchist, right? Except for one thing. That's not the world in which we live. That's the world we want.

I wish we could live in that world, but we don't. So my attitude has not changed. And I had that attitude. What about other people who kind of share your values? Do you feel like other libertarians have moved to a more closed-board position? Some have, but, you know, the idealistic of those who are, you know...

Purists in some way? Right, right, right. Let's talk about what's going on with January 6th and your case. We have the story from Real Clear Investigations. It's been covered quite a bit over the past few months. This one is investigative issues. Independent journalist receives January 6th grand jury subpoena. Steve Baker says he believes actors in the Department of Justice seek to silence him.

This is back in August. Since then, you've received notice that they actually are intending to criminally charge you. And you are a journalist. You work for The Blaze or you're a contributor? No, I am now a full-time investigative journalist for The Blaze. I officially shut down my bands and my operations musically and I am in their hire. So you were acting as a journalist on January 6th. Correct. You are friends with many prominent journalists, notably Richie McGinnis. Yes. What did he say to you? That it would be insane if they went after you for working journalism on January 6th,

but now they're coming after you. So what's happening? Well, they actually made the first threat against me all the way back in November of 21. I did my FBI interview in July of 21. So six months after January 6th and then are actually, no, that was when they first contacted my attorney. And then we did the interview in October of 21 on November 17th of 21. My attorney got an email from a assistant us attorney out of Philadelphia who said, your client, that would

be me, is going to be charged within the week. And that within the week. That was in 2021? Yes, that would have been Thanksgiving week of 21 that they originally threatened me with charges. We went on a media and a press offensive instantly, you know, press release, started doing, you know, podcasts and TV and radio interviews and things of that nature. And so. That among other things that we think they backed off, they were like, you know, this guy's too big of a pain in the butt for us to deal with. So they just moved me to the bottom of her pile, the assistant us attorney. And, and so we didn't hear from them for 20 months. They went away now for 20 months though.

I kept waiting for those red dots in my bedroom window every morning. It's six o'clock. I, I, I haven't, I, people think I'm joking when I say this, I don't have to set an alarm anymore. Six o'clock every morning I wake up and I look for the red dots in my window. What do you mean red dots? The SWAT red. Lasers being weapons pointed. Yeah. Yeah. Of course that's not, you know, they don't actually use red dots anymore. It's, cause it would be at two in the morning. That's what I understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's what I expect or what I'm fearful of.

And I've had that burden in my gut for that long. And so 20 months went by. And then in August, as you can see from the date on that article right there by Joe Hanneman, that in August, I got another call from my attorney, said, okay, now we have a grand jury subpoena for you, and they were subpoenaing your work from January 6th, so they wanted my videos, which was completely unnecessary because we not only offered that to them during my FBI interview, free of charge or so to speak with as a cop, yes, a complimentary, uh, service to the FBI, but more importantly, it was part of the cooperation.

And then secondarily, we offered it to them yet again, uh, to the, the, uh, uh, department of justice, uh, through exchange with my, my attorney. I mean, there's nothing to hide there. It didn't matter. I don't think I was going to, I was going to cause anybody that was there on January 6th, any harm because they were already on a thousand other videos anyway. So it really wasn't going to hurt anybody if I gave them my videos. So that was my thinking anyway at the time. So we get a grand jury subpoena.

The problem with a grand jury subpoena is that they don't, grand juries are not seated for misdemeanor charges only for felonies. It's like, okay, crap. What are they looking at? What are they going to try to do now? What have they been scheming and concocting for 20 months while they've been silent? So we, we complied. I gave them a flash drive.

I actually confronted my FBI agent in the parking lot at his field office with my attorney standing beside me. And I grilled him for about 15 minutes about what they were doing for 20 months. You know, what's going on? I don't know. I don't know. I said, no, that's BS. You do know because you're the one that actually has to write the statement of facts based upon which the Department of Justice will then file charges against me.

So it's going to be your recommendations, you know, and he wouldn't tell me. And so another five months goes by. I'm actually sitting in Thomas Massey's office in D.C., the Rayburn building, and I get another text from my attorney, and it's like, you know, because when your attorney calls you, it's never good. And so I step out into the hallway, and he says, okay, I guess this is the big day. This was on Thursday, December 14th, and he says, okay, I guess this is the big day. This was on Thursday, December 14th, and he said, they are asking you to self-surrender in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Tuesday.

So this has been the Tuesday before Christmas week of this past year. So I took my big breath. I walked outside, and then I tweeted out that it's happening. And within 24 hours, you know, I had four and a half million views of that tweet. And then the blaze went into high gear, and there were other media appearances as well over the next 24 hours. Within 30 hours, by 5 o'clock, close of business on Friday, the 15th of December, my attorney gets another call from the FBI agent. And he says, okay, we're going to postpone your self-surrender until after Christmas. Wow.

All right. So now, so my other, my lead attorney, because I have six attorneys on this case now. And so my lead attorney then, he takes over. So he contacts the new assistant U.S. attorney, because now they've assigned me to somebody else during that 30-hour period. They took it away from assistant U.S. attorney Anita Eve out of Philadelphia, and they assigned it to a guy by the name of Adam Dreher out of D.C. So got a new guy, young gun on the case, and I guess that's the kill shot. he's the specialist, right? So the week between Christmas and January 1st, my lead attorney got on the phone with him. I said, okay, what's going on here?

Okay, well, right now what he says is that they're going to delay the self-surrender until sometime mid-January. And because we know Mr. Baker's travel schedule and what he's doing, because I stay on the road almost full-time, and he says we'll give him seven to ten days notice before he needs to come in and present himself. Okay, I'll pass that along to my client. What are the charges going to be? Well, I can't tell you. What do you mean you can't tell? Well, I could tell you, but we're not because as soon as I tell you, Mr. Baker will tweet it out. As is your right, though. Yeah, as is my right.

Now, technically, he could fall back on the fact that until an actual judge or magistrate signs the arrest warrant, there are no charges. Well, so it's the end of January. What's the latest? That's it? We haven't heard from them since. I think this shows, you know, you look at the Trump-E. Jean Carroll case, and there's no justice system. It is weaponization of—it's remarkable to me. Trump gets accused by some crackpot old woman of a story that bears striking resemblance to Law and Order SVU, denies it, and the denial is defamation.

Then he gets accused of fraud in New York. The judge issues a summary judgment without hearing any evidence and says, doesn't matter, Trump did it. Now in the trial to determine the amount of damages and whether or not he falsified business records all the witnesses are like oh no trump was doing business on the level it's totally fine doesn't matter we've already said so what we have here i think it's just it's proof of they will do whatever they can get away with and with you you're on the line you're not some you know you're not ben shapiro no you don't have millions of followers but you're not nobody you've got you work in media and a lot of people are paying

attention to your story if you were like so many of the other j6ers who bumbled about confused like i'm talking about the writers i'm talking about the woman i met who said she showed up an hour after the riot doors were open there were noricades. And she walked around confused and went home. 18-month sentence. Yeah. She does not have the platform you have as a journalist. And so now you've put them in this position where they're like, we've got to get him. But, oh, man, he's too loud.

This past Thursday, myself and four of my attorneys in Dallas, in Dealey Plaza, we did a press conference. Interesting. Yeah. It's a good location. Chosen by one of- Do you stand on the little box in the middle of the street? Well, I made sure I took photos of the X in the street. But the point being is, is that we did a press conference there and I actually addressed

the point that you were making right there. And I said that exact thing. Unfortunately, there were so many that had come before me already. And I'm talking specifically about other independent journalists who have been jacked up by the system and they did not have the coverage of me. They didn't have four, you know, um, great attorneys standing behind them. They didn't have the power, the bullhorn of the blaze behind them at the time, and they didn't have the reach. So they, they were, uh, uh, completely overwhelmed by that. Most of them having to, uh, use, um, uh, appoint trial, you know, court appointed lawyers to defend them

that were probably of a leftist bent to begin with, didn't really care about their case. I know of individuals that have been jammed into what they call, um, a, uh, you know, these, these stipulated bench trials. They don't even know what, you know, these stipulated bench trials. They don't even know what, you know, the client doesn't even know what that is. What is that? And they try to explain to them it's a lot simpler, it's easier, it's going to cost you a lot less money. Well, basically you're just walking in and pleading guilty

without the opportunity to present your case or present any exculpatory or diminishing, you know, something that might diminish your charges or you diminish your, um, uh, your sentencing, that sort of thing. But specifically to the independent journalists that have been caught up in this thing, I've watched trials. Uh, this is a, this is a great example. Uh, a young guy, uh, Stephen Horn, also from Raleigh, North Carolina. We never knew each other before the January 6th thing. But what ended up happening to him is he was 22 years old on January 6th, but he had had a history of doing journalism since he was 16,

including acquiring, applying for and acquiring press passes for various events that he had covered. So when he goes up to cover that event, he actually tried to acquire a pass. He actually contacted Metropolitan PD. They wouldn't issue him one. He went anyway. He had been covering riots and, you know, the 20 riots in Raleigh. So he installed inside of his bicycle helmet, a hidden camera. So he didn't look like press. He didn't wear press anywhere. And so that he could blend into the crowd. So he gets arrested. He gets the four basic misdemeanor charges. He decides he's going to do a jury trial, right? So in the process of

doing and putting all this together- In D.C. In D.C., yeah. I mean, brave kid. And I'll tell you exactly why he decided to do that. There's another reporter by the name of Luke Mogelson who submitted his story to the New Yorker. He captured the famous video of the QAnon shaman inside the Senate chamber, you know, chanting, praying, all of that. So Luke and another journalist by the name of J.D. Rivera from Pensacola, they basically paralleled each other through the building, took the same thing. J.D. ended up getting eight months in prison. Wow.

Luke, of course, didn't because when Luke submitted his story to The New Yorker, the title of his story was Among the Insurrectionists. So he had to get out of jail free card already. Yep. He said insurrection. Right, right. But back to Stephen Horn. So Stephen Horn says, look, I'm going to declare my innocence in front of a jury.

And so they file a motion for selective prosecution in his case. His attorneys do. And the judge, a Trump-appointed judge by the name of Kelly, he would not allow the jury to see those press badges. What? That's badges. What? What? That's correct. How do they, how?

Because. Yeah. Wow. That's disgusting. He might tweet it out. That's disgusting. So he would not allow that jury to see these. Now, I went up to D.C. to cover that trial. I was there for every minute of that, of Stephen Horn's trial.

And so I finally reached a level of frustration one day. And, you know, I, I, I ran out into the hallway to where the, the, the attorney's room was and knocked on the door. And then one of them answered the door and I said, you have to present blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he said, we can't, what do you mean? What do you mean? You can't, it's the truth about his life, about his career, about his desire since he was a kid to be a journalist. We can't talk about it. We're under orders. We can't bring that up. And so what they did is the U S attorneys denigrated that kid. They absolutely completely, um,

made any insinuation that he was there for any other reason other than to participate in the riot. Uh, it was, it was completely slammed, and they could not just even show that jury. But, you know, these were the press badges he acquired since he was 16.

What did he get? This was a miracle. His sentencing was the day after Ray Epps' sentencing, and that Ray Epps' sent sent shockwaves through the courts. I just got chills hearing that. Because he got off so easy with the slap on the wrist. So Horn

only got a year probation and a $2,000 fine. Still too much. And if it had been before Epps, very likely it would have been jail time. Because, and now before Epps was the guy I mentioned from Pensacola, J.D. Rivera. He was actually the first person from the panhandle of Florida to be caught up in the

dragnet early January of 21. And he was the first one arrested in that part of the country. And he was actually contracted by a television station from Mobile. He shows up at January 6th with his big gear, his big expensive shoulder-mounted camera. And he's going through there. And he went through the same broken window that Luke Mogelson, New Yorker, submitted his story to. They both went through the same broken window. Luke Mogelson had his iPhone. Luke Mogelson said, yes, I used my phone as a reporter's notebook.

And, and JD had his expensive gear. So when he gets home and the, and the, the station is all excited when they're driving, he's driving home on the seventh, they're calling you, you got all this, you got all this footage. It's incredible. We can't wait to see it. Can't wait to get it. And then when he gets home, he doesn't hear from them at all. A few days later,

over 20 agents show up at his doorstep, red dots on his wife, his kids, his family. You know what JD's crime was? He never chanted. He never said USA, USA. He never, uh, you know, stopped the steal or any chant whatsoever. He wasn't wearing all the Trump paraphernalia, that sort of thing. His crime is he had been and had covered and had been active in the Hispanic or Latinos for Trump movement prior to that. Wow. So he gets, he goes to a bench trial. So he was smart enough not to risk a jury. But the judge in his case convicted him. And when he was sentenced, he was smart enough not to, you know, to risk a jury, but the judge in his case

convicted him. And when he was sentenced, he was given eight months in prison. He spent his first two months in solitary confinement. When he gets out of solitary and he gets into the general population of this medium security prison in Georgia, the other prisoners, um, thought he was, you know, he was some sort of spy or plant or whatever because- His story's fake. It had to be fake because misdemeanor defendants are not sent to this prison. So they're all looking at him like going, hey, we're the pros. This is what we do for a living.

We go to prison. We commit real crimes. Misdemeanor defendants do not come to this prison. He said, no, man. This is so infuriating. I feel like you've seen the face of the military industrial complex in terms of how they've grown out into the media

and these people are like the engineers of the false reality where like, you can tell that story if you use the right words like we're talking about the headlines earlier

but if you tell it like this, we're going to throw you in jail. Judge Kelly, was he the one who also acquitted that guy for trespassing because the cop waved him in?

Was that Kelly? No, that wasn't Kelly. I forget which judge that was, but Kelly was also the guy over the Proud Boys trial. The Proud Boys, right? Do you know what happened to John Sullivan? Remember that guy? Yes, I covered his trial.

I was there. I just interviewed his mom and dad just a couple of weeks ago. Did he get in trouble? All I saw was that he sold the stuff to CNN. Oh, yeah. He was convicted on seven counts, and then he was remanded into custody

after being allowed to sit in a home confinement for almost three years. He was immediately remanded into custody and taken off to jail. McFadden. McFadden. Yeah, McFadden ruled that Matthew Martin was not riding and he was invited in by the police. Yeah, because he

made a reasonable assertion and it was on video that when he walked in and as he's passing a cop and he he's he kind of greeted the cop in a friendly kind of manner and then the cop kind of patted him on the shoulder wow the mcpadden said you know you know this is this is why uh and and forgive everyone, but this is why I say civil war so often. The young Turks make a living off of lying. It's what they do. And so in January of 2022, I think it was, I had made a statement that we were going to start seeing acquittals because in order for there to be trespass charges, you need to have asserted property rights in the first place.

Meaning if there is a barrier you cross, you are beyond trespass. We've dealt with this. So typically the laws, and the law in Maryland specifically, I don't know if DC laws, it's not the same as Maryland, but there's probably tremendous overlap. If someone walks onto your unguarded property, they have only trespassed if they have been warned they are trespassing. In the case of the Capitol, when the barricades are removed and the doors are open

and the cops are holding them open, you cannot claim someone is trespassing in any traditional legal sense. You would never win. If you put up a sign that says no trespassing private property or closed to the public and And someone walks past it. They have now trespassed. If you put up a chain across the threshold with a sign saying no trespass and they step over it. In Maryland, that's fourth degree burglary. Crossing a barrier to enter a property. Many of these J6ers, they show up and what do they see? There's no barricades.

The doors are open. And the police are waving people in i said we're going to see acquittals the young turks this is what they do uh that's why i gave a shout out on twitter to anna and vosh because vosh does the same thing they'll take a morsel of an argument made, something like me saying, they're going to acquit some of these people on trespass charges and then apply that to a guy bashing a cop with a shield or something and say,

Tim Pool thinks a guy who bashed a guy with a shield is not going to get charged because he didn't know. There's broken glass everywhere and he's fighting the police, which is literally not what I said. And so when you have a wave after wave of people falsely believing these psychotic things, they cheer for the

government oppressing, beating and murdering people. And the best part is these are the people who claim to be activists against the prison systems while supporting one of the most egregious violations of human rights in the United States of our generation. People who were walking around D.C. But you know what the issue is? They're all Trump supporters. So it's fair game. If you were a Trump supporter on D.C. and you showed up to the Capitol an hour and a half or two hours after the riots, they're arresting these people.

They didn't fight anybody. They didn't break anything. They did not trespass. And these people are going to jail if you're owen schroyer and you're at a permitted rally you got a permit for it but you yelled something like death to tyrants you're going to prison because you're all trump supporters and then uh what you get is the left-wing media the leftist media will absolutely lie about everything that happened for the benefit of making money for their companies. accidental tourists, accidental trespassers, just didn't know the D.C. law and didn't understand D.C.

And they would concede that, you know, they probably got to the door. They saw the line of people coming in and they probably thought it was all right. We here in D.C., though, of course, we know how uptight it is. And we probably, a local resident probably wouldn't have done that. I completely disagree. That's what they tell me. We have seen over and over again, protesters storm DC buildings. There are protests in DC every week. Are they bussed in?

Protesters? The ones that are storming. Are those the ones that are bussed in? Sometimes, yes. Absolutely. Lefting organizations will get charters. Activists will show up in DCc and they'll they'll enter these buildings and shut them down yeah cavanaugh hearing yeah i mean cavanaugh hearing is one example but

we had a recent example but your far leftists were protesting israel right yeah and and shutting things down in dc in these buildings during occupy wall street occupiers showed up in dc everybody entered these buildings and there were thousands of people storm like i shouldn't say storming but marching through the halls chanting knocking on doors looking for members of congress totally fine totally a-okay so when you have historic precedents and legal precedents that protesters do enter these buildings and are never criminally charged what we see now with j6 is it's plainly obvious to anybody it's it's it's a farce it's a lie to the guys who are fighting cops lock them up 20 years seems a little excessive

if you ask me a few months but you look at antifa during trump's inauguration when they marched around the city smashing windows and setting fires not only were these people never they were arrested they were released their they were released, their charges were dropped, and then the city paid them millions. And more importantly, by comparison to that particular situation after Trump's inauguration, was that the Department of Justice tried to prosecute these cases. They were getting hung juries and acquittals in court. And so they went, screw it. And they just dismissed the rest of them. And of course, that is because of the DC makeup of a jury. I mean, when you're talking about 92 and a half percent of the jurors are

the jury pool, they're voted for Biden anyway. It's a fait accompli before your jury selection ever even happens. It's not going to go your way. And, of course, what the Department of Justice has done and what every judge that is inside on this colluding in this cartel that they have developed, or what I call a star chamber, is they have decided that there's not going to be a change of venue motion granted to anyone, regardless of those circumstances, regardless of the polling, regardless of the data, the actual evidence that you cannot get a fair

trial there. It's 99.75% conviction rate right now on January 6th trials. 95.75. If you just take the Department of Federal Law in D.C., it's just over 60% of the cases they win. It's crazy. It's because it's political. If you take the average of just over 60% compared to 99.75, you can't help if you're an honest broker whatsoever except to conclude that this is a political problem. Why hasn't Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against E.G. and Carolyn West Virginia?

Well, obviously he should, but... My question is, we watch this stuff happen over and over and over again. In New York to Donald Trump, where are the Republicans to literally file the same suits? Where are the prosecutors in these Republican states to file charges against these political organizations? They're just not doing anything. All of the attorneys that I work with right now, they all say the exact same thing. If every single one of these January 6th defendants had been tried in their home district before a jury of their peers, that it would have been a 50-50 proposition

in terms of conviction versus acquittals. And so you have to get outside of the beltway in order to get a fair trial there. And honestly, this is my fight. If I have to go there, it's not going to be like J.D. Rivera's fight. It's not going to be like Stephen Horn's fight. I have the advantage of having watched from the bench in their trial. I have the advantage of watching how they treated

the Oath Keepers. I have a- But are you going to go for a bench? If I had to choose for it, it would be a bench trial. Absolutely. I wouldn't do a jury trial. The risk there is that the judges are corrupt too. Well, you have to- But at least you know the jurors are corrupt. Maybe you'll get lucky and get McFadden. Right, right. Or you get them at a time, like for instance, we now know that in chambers that these judges are talking about this 1512 obstruction of official proceeding trial or charge that SCOTUS is going to scrap this thing, which is going to send the entire J6 routine into complete chaos. I mean, people are going to get their charges, what, rescinded? Or how's that going to work? That's what they've got to figure it out.

I mean, this is the obstructing official proceeding. The challenge to it is it was a literal reference to destruction of documents, not marching through a building which bothered someone. Correct. That's exactly it. So SCOTUS is going to rule and probably say, yeah, the law was made for this reason, not for protesters might show up at some point. And it's already creating chaos because individuals who have already had that charge on them for maybe their charging documents were executed a year or two years ago, and they're just now getting to trial. Obviously, their motions are being made by their defense attorneys. No, we need to delay the trial until this is decided by SCOTUS.

And the judges are granting that. And then additionally, some of the judges have let people out of prison because the only reason they were in prison was because of the 1512. Some people have already been released? Yes, they've actually already released some of them. They've sent them home conditionally until this thing is settled. Wow. So it's already creating problems. As I said, the REAPs sentencing sent shockwaves through.

I mean, I don't know how going forward that they can sentence a misdemeanor defendant now to prison time after what happened. Have you said what you think they'll charge you with? They won't tell me, as I mentioned before. In my first interview with the FBI, they said, look, it's not our place to decide. We're just going to turn this information over to the DOJ if they decide to charge you. It's probably going to be just the four basic misdemeanors. But when they did notify me that I was going to be charged in November of 21,

one of the charges that they were going to hit me with was interstate racketeering. What? I'll just let that marinate for a moment. Well, what is that? Because I had licensed and made money off of the sale of my videos. So they're admitting you're a journalist right right exactly we're gonna go to super chat so if you haven't already

Shout out to Public Square. Yeah, it's cool that Public Square can give people another way to promote their new business.

I mean, the people who shop on Public Square are pretty loyal to it. Yeah, Public square has centralized the ability to help build the parallel economy and challenge woke institutions. I love it. So once once they become their own store akin to Amazon, but we know that they're not selling garbage and investing money in bad ideas, you know. It's going to be convenient for everybody. And that's where we got to get to. We got to that point of convenience. The drunk conservative says, Tim, did you see the Daily Wire story about the Disney DEI wheel of power and privilege

that was hanging up in the theme parks? I think I did see that somewhere. I'm not sure though. Is that a scary ride? It sounds like a really scary ride. Corporate America shaking their boots. They're like, we do this every Thursday. All right. let's go port film co-op says find and watch europa the last battle what is that is that about migration in europe or something i'm not sure i haven't heard of it or is it about

the moon around saturn yeah i was thinking like spaceships spaceships fighting aliens in saturn or is it no it's jupiter isn't it yeah jupiter one of those europa io ganymede it's about immigration to one of the moons one of those planets in fake space the alleged planets in space for some reason i just know a bunch of moon names i think that's a good skill man yeah it's good while tim pulls up another one i just want to say real quick I checked Twitter and people are sending me AI nudes of Nancy Pelosi

I am not happy okay but you brought it up like three times they're like oh my gosh he really wants it Shane was like don't send me these photos don't send those to me

my wife is like oh you're just adding more to the folder oh my goodness I'm single can I put in my order right now you're interested in nancy pelosi no i didn't say that you want to throw your handle out so people know where to send it

all right tricky rex says the nfl is the same as wwe it's sports entertainment along with nascar the nfl and mlb and so on if it's broadcast sports it's rigged on some level well there was like some big nba rigging scandal wasn't there like wasn't it like they extended the the the finals to get extra games to make more money or something like that yeah they're just if it was like if it was going at the last game then there was a chance for an extra game they would yeah an extra game is right is tons of money and there have been like refs from professional sports that have been fired when it comes out that they are the ones betting on the games right like we're the ones getting endorsements from like particular groups to make the game last right there are corrupt people everywhere sports i saw a funny video recently

of of michael jordan who was playing on the wizards and and he the ref didn't see the thing that happened that was a foul and jordan tells him that was definitely like a foul and he's like i didn't see it but i believe you michael all right t-rex pet shop says maybe gen z is voting for trump because they don't want to be drafted in world war iii trump will be more likely to negotiate peace that is correct eric ck says tim i see your videos with tens of thousands of views on tiktok all the time so we made new accounts because that's the way tiktok works you get banned you make a new account it's a better way to do it but but still, their bannings are BS. But more importantly, other people are posting our videos and clips on TikTok.

And it's whatever. You should. Everyone should post clips from this show and whatever show on those platforms. And I will say the same thing. Posting clips. Very different from posting the whole show. The whole show, know that's that's that's a problem but uh post millennial post clips on the show all the time we love it if you want to

take clips that you think are that are from the show that you think are good and important please clip that portion of the show and share it and more importantly i hope on x when you do so you make money by doing it one of my favorite ones was on in i think it must have gone to tiktok first but i saw it on instagram getting sent you and uh was it destiny and it's your like famous now hold on a minute moment that wasn't destiny that was lance okay that was lance sorry i get everyone's names mixed up but it's like when he said that abortions are okay at any point it's the mother's choice but the mother shouldn't be allowed to do drugs because it would kill the baby. Wild.

And I was like, hold on there a minute. Hold on there a minute. My Instagram is like not political at all. I'm sure it knows on some level, but like to suddenly see Tim come up, I was like,

wow, this must be going quite viral. That clip went mega viral with like tens of millions of hits because what they did was it's Lance from the surf saying, I was like, you think a woman could have abortion you should have you have you know be able to have abortion up to any point even at the point of

birth it's her body it's her choice and then i was like what about meth and he was like well no because that would kill the baby and then i said hold on there a minute and then they inserted dave chappelle going gotcha bitch and that was it that that version of it got tens of millions of hits or something. Of course it went viral because you rarely get galaxy brain takes like that. I had a bunch of very high profile people hitting me up after that clip.

A week or two weeks later, I have a very high profile person send me this message and be like, what the? And I'm like, yeah, that's the show. You should watch it. I'm sitting here like for real well it's funny because what they do is there's like a clip where it's like Lance

schools like destroys Tim Pool on the rise of LGBT or trans kids I never disagree with him on that issue he held up a piece of paper saying the rise of left handedness and I was like oh okay interesting and then they're like aha he got him and I'm like I-handedness. And I was like, oh, okay, interesting. And then they're like, aha, he got them. And I'm like, I didn't disagree with him.

I was like, I don't understand. My favorite right now is Vosh and Anna Kasparian made videos where it's like Tim Pool cheers for child labor. You know what I cheered for? 16 and 17-year-olds being able to work part-time jobs. You crazy person. So it's like Vosh goes goes people like tim pool and conservatives are trying to exploit children to make them work because the children yearn for the minds which is a meme that's fine but it's just like bro my argument was that if you're 16 or 17 you're

allowed to have a 30 hour a week job and it's like yes i had a summer like who didn't have a summer job i had when i had a paper route at 11 i was just gonna say i was working at that age too i was mucking horse stall when i was 16 16, I worked fast food 32 hours a week. But you know what it is? What was crazy to me is at first I was like, they're misrepresenting me. I'm saying like kids should work paper routes and kids should mow lawns. When I say children should work, I'm talking about shoveling snow for 10 bucks or like helping your parents at the mom and pop shop.

And I thought they were misrepresenting me that was generating fake outrage a lot of it was like vosh and anna absolutely like they took my tweet about 16 and 17 year olds being able to work 30 hours a week but i found on reddit they genuinely think 10 year olds shouldn't mow lawns shouldn't take out garbage shouldn't shovel snow and i that was like wow and the comments were things like to force a child to understand the misery of working for a minimum wage and i was like like i'm mowing lawns they're like this is why we need abortion it was they can't work there's literally life is too hard there's a yeah there's a clip of me they say this though look i never agreed to be born why do i have to work iconic so there was a clip of me. They say this, though. Look, I never agreed to be born. Why do I have to work? It's iconic. So there was a clip of me from this show where I'm literally like, I'm not saying work in factories.

I'm saying kids should work at a mom and pop shop and help take out the garbage. And the comments were literally like, that is abuse. How dare you? And I was like, wow. I am so censoring myself right now for YouTube. Children, they yearn for the minds though all right where are we at let's grab some more super jets james richard says as an empire only wins a war if people fight for one another for one another this nation america will not the two busy fighting with

each other yes that's the uh that's the crazy reality, man. All right. Where are we at? Jetstorm says, I'm honestly terrified about any case of war. My mom's uncles fought in World War II Vietnam and have seen-ish. My grandfather was in Korea. What the hell was their sacrifice for? If I go, I'm done and Spanish double down. No, I got gotta be honest when i when i think about like the koreas i understand if you came to me and said we are going to send troops into vietnam to stop the spread of communism i go oh there's questions

about like the u.s and whether or not we should have a role in any of these any of this expansion but we're not in an era of global communist expansion and i think for a lot of the young communists in the united states they were upset about the draft and going to war and all this stuff so i'm not a big fan of foreign intervention in any capacity especially if like some other country i don't care about is becoming communist but i can at least understand the fear of communism taking over surrounding the united states cutting it off and then strangling us out now what do we have why were we in afghanistan or iraq like i'm not even a fan of going to vietnam over communism but i can at least understand understand the threat of communism you know especially nowadays it's really funny because it's like what were the sacrifices

for it's like well i guess to stop communism didn't work the communists are taking everything over so what's the global expansionist threat now anti-communism the global uh the elite the world economic forum fears donald trump nope all right scott columb said colomb says the military is currently not requiring a high school diploma or a GED to enlist, suggesting that we're going to war probably soon. I believe that was two years ago. It was 2022 when they removed those requirements. So it's been it's been a while now. Joe Robo, this is Joe Rob. OK, just two zeros. Enlisting illegals into the military would would negate the check and balance that U.S. soldiers would never follow orders to attack U.S. citizens. Illegal enlistees would absolutely fulfill such attacks. There are already many people who are promised citizenship in exchange for service.

That actually happens. It's kind of funny. Service guarantees citizenship. They go to these people and say, if you serve four years, we'll give you your citizenship. Yeah. And this is already happening in the Civil War with like the irish immigrants coming across uh at island or whatever they just handed muskets and then sent them to the front and civil war oh wow that's true yeah you need baddies yeah cam girl as soon as war with iran government

enacts emergency powers and arms illegals illegal army used to oppress citizens. Pretty high chances that's what happens. Still think culture is the answer, Tim? Still think we got time for breeding to fix this? World War happens. We make it through war. We have an election coming up in November. The foot, everything that's happening in this country, in this country and in the world

is not going to go away if Donald Trump is elected or if you do literally anything. It is like, no matter what you do, you are taking a ball peen hammer to a skyscraper. The issue right now is can we get Donald Trump at the top of that skyscraper and start making substantial internal changes for the time being? Yeah, we need to. And we need everyone to work together to start building alternatives so that we can move past this. But more importantly, as I watch Taylor Swift struggle to get 8,000 people to register to vote out of her 272 million followers, it makes me think about just the total collapse of everything. When I was looking at the numbers, I'm looking at Ben Shapiro and Tom McDonald. They're number one on itunes and spotify and um based on those positions plus on youtube plus the

amount of views he has uh the amount of views the song has and the plays on on spotify i'm like it looks like they're gonna actually chart and a lot of leftists are saying itunes doesn't even matter anyway because nobody buys songs anymore explain how does that make sense nobody buys songs so who cares if ben shapiro sells more songs than anyone else that actually is kind of contradictory the statement would be holy crap ben shapiro convinced people to buy music again tom mcdonald and ben shapiro are actually able to command more cells that more sales than celebrities like when remember napster and metallica but anyway yeah i'm thinking about all this and i'm like the only way they get these big artists on the top of these charts is because

they're forced onto the streaming playlists spotify apple whatever they will be like this is a band we're going to put them at the top and put them in rotation because everyone knows who they are that manufactures radio plays and streams. So someone made a good point. They were like workout routine playlists. People go to the gym, put on their headphones and press workout, and it plays a bunch of music. They don't care about, don't care about the person, don't care about the song. We'll never buy the song.

But that hit, put them on the charts. What is more important? I think sales is the only metric right now that matters. I don't care if Taylor Swift was put on the new streaming playlist and they gave her the number one spot. That's meaningless. Number one sales, like I said, if Taylor Swift could convince 272 million people to buy one song for a dollar, she would do she can't it's all fake it's all it's all manufactured started to realize that if ben if so we we got uh i think the total sales we got for together again was between 26 and 28 000 uh songs which is our biggest release ever the last i think uh genocide was like 18 or 20 and only ever one it was like 20. And so this one

was a bit bigger with help from the Daily Wire. And we hit number one in sales on iTunes on all these platforms. And I'm like, if we can command more influence than even these big artists, the only real issue is that Billboard used to be, if you sold the most, you were the top position. Then they changed it to like radio play and stuff like that but ultimately the point is you used to need a million sales to be on the top of the charts now nobody cares nobody's excited for the new song by the band anymore nobody is going out and being like yeah now it's like i'm sitting at the uh we're at the casino and hard rock seminal and they played a song by paramore that has like 6.6 million streams

on youtube and i look i'm not i'm a big fan of Paramore, one of my favorite bands, but this song is not culturally relevant and it's playing on the Ladsberg at a casino for all these people. And I'm just thinking to myself, why did they choose to play a song that nobody listens to? It's all manufactured. But my main point here is if it's possible for someone like Ben Shapiro and Tom McDonald to get at the top of the charts, it just shows that American culture is completely shattered. There is no, there's no unifying culture anymore. And I'm thinking to myself like, man, if war happens, it's just bedlam in this country. No one's going to rally behind anybody. It's just,

it's just chaos. Factions will instantly form. Various regions might break off and form their own defensive pacts. And it's not because any of them are mad at the United States. It's because if World War III starts, a small community in North Dakota says, we need to figure out how we keep food and water flowing. They form pacts with other groups. They're not listening anymore to DC because they're so far away,

out of sight, out of mind. And then you'll end up with the North Dakota or the North Midwest Regional Alliance. It's not a faction formed out of hatred for the government. It's a faction formed out of necessity to secure resources at a time of mass conflict

and war around the world. That's kind of how I see things, you potentially going but whatever we'll read some more super chance all right joel x line says lol tim even alex jones wouldn't go that far to say swift and kelsey's relationship is put together by a publicist that's silly bud are you is that a joke you can look up all the celebrities that are fake i it is a common trope where celebrities will meet and the publicist will say so here's the point of the meeting we want your football player to date our singer and here's the plan it's going to generate x amount of views it's going to increase your q rating blah blah blah they do it's going to promote this movie they

just both filmed like it's i think it's super fun They do it all the time and this is a breakup. Here's a good example. It's a conspiracy theory. It's not factual as far as I know but it's in a bunch of books I've been looking into in terms of Hollywood.

There's people that claim that Robert Mitchum was that the weed story was manufactured to create a bad boy image. People always say Robert Mitchum was the first celebrity

arrested with weed and there's claims that that was all a manufactured story to present a different type of character for him. He would be cool. He was cool. Jeff Bader says, obligatory payment for Tool praise, my friends. Yes.

Not only is Tool a great band, but Maynard, in A Perfect Circle, has one of the best songs ever. And it's Judith. I recommend you actually listen to the lyrics. Read the story of how he wrote Judith, how it came to be, and then the follow-up songs he wrote about his mom. Long story short, I've talked about it. It is amazing. His mom suffered a stroke. He then wrote a song criticizing her faith in Christ and in God because he couldn't understand how she would keep praising God despite him having condemned her to a life of paralysis. And it's actually an interesting

song because the song is both the son's pain and anger and confusion, but at the same time, a message about his mom's faith and her unwillingness to waver despite the hardships she faces. And then later on, he wrote he finally you know talked to her and understood how she really felt just and it's a great song the guitar playing man but then of course sober is just one of the best songs ever written so i love them both it depends on the day yeah you could offer me up any taylor swift song and i'll just be like i will put sober on loop forever tools one of the best shows i've ever seen well she's not writing for you she's writing for girls no i'm just kidding that's fine i got no beef i like those two okay so now i like paramore i can paramore is really good although i think i don't use ai i don't like ai

but someone out there should probably make taylor swift singing sober oh please that would be awesome that's her next surprise song at her concert dude how do you do that i don't know but i see people i saw con someone did kanye doing uh somebody i used to know and it sounded kind of good wow like for in terms of like they knew kanye couldn't hit a certain note so they they did ai manufactured a certain way i think taylor swift singing sober and tool playing shake it off shake it off or trouble yeah yeah yeah maynard singing trouble would be great great. No, but Sober is so good. I just put it on while I'm skating. I just...

Yeah, great album. All right, we'll grab some more Superchats here. NYBSFP says, Tim, the Soros thing is being pushed by people that actually know better, but have decided to fight the war using the enemy's rules. That's it.

Except the problem is, it's not the enemy's rules to sabotage your opportunity i mean we've beaten it to a dead horse we've beaten a dead horse okay if taylor swift says soros bad you go taylor swift wow she's so smart and great i might i explain this when i was to do non-profit fundraising rapport is the first thing you have to have in order to make it to pitch someone on your cause to get them to sign up you walk up to someone wearing a taylor swift shirt on the street the first thing you should say is i love taylor

child sacrifice. No, I think if she goes pro-kid, it'll stay. I hope so. Look guys, we just have to embrace the fact that she's going to turn our birth rate around.
