hannah claire brimelow
We're talking about this article from Fox 10 from 2020 about the nine states that automatically sent out ballots.
So it's Vermont, Nevada, California, New Jersey, Colorado, Hawaii, Utah, Washington, Oregon, and of course the District of Columbia.
And sort of what the long-term implications of that would be especially going into 2022.
There's a Washington Post article that said in 2022 at least 84 percent of American voters can cast ballots by mail.
And so just kind of the implications.
The other thing we're talking about was the emergency declaration.
So it's supposed to end on May 11th.
tim pool
Of this year?
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, the COVID emergency declaration.
So, like, the states that allow—there are, you know, this, again, this 2020 list—there are states that allowed people to mail in their ballots because it was COVID.
You didn't really have to explain anything other than that.
They just allowed everyone to have access and There's also additional funding that have gone out to states that have to, Neil Rupp is telling me that they have to spend by May 11th, otherwise they have to send it back.
So there are different factors at play even though it doesn't feel like we're living in COVID anymore.
Administratively we very much are.
We're deep in the trenches of that even though, you know, I mean I've been traveling recently.
I really don't see very many masks anymore.
You know, the airlines have really gone back to normal.
Lots of stuff like that.
I never hear about social distancing.
But in terms of how it could affect the election, we have these restrictions that are in place that really can't go away until we end it nationally, which can you even believe that we still have this declaration in place?
troy nehls
It gets renewed.
I believe it's every 60 or 90 days.
And Joe Biden made it very clear.
He said COVID was over.
He said that well over a year now.
And so we still have it.
So he's got to get a grip on this thing.
But many of these states still have all these millions upon millions of dollars, unspent money, that have been sent to these individual states that haven't spent it yet.
So if he declares this thing, whether we have no COVID, they haven't spent that money, that money needs to go back into the Treasury.
Why in the hell are they allowing to keep it?
It needs to go back into the Treasury to reduce some of our debt.
hannah claire brimelow
I just can't understand how after all of this time, we even have these orders in place.
It just seems like such federal overreach to me.
I get it that there are some state governments that are like, no, we don't want it to be over.
We get money from this.
We get more support from the federal government and they benefit from it.
For the logical person, if we are no longer masking and having all these crazy lockdowns or whatever, there is no emergency.
Do you guys feel like we're under a national health emergency?
I don't.
tim pool
Well, of course not.
They're using it to gain power.
Check out this story from CNN from about a week ago.
Trump and GOP attempt to Trump and GOP attempt to reverse course on mail-in voting ahead of 2024.
So, that's basically it.
They say, after years of claiming mail-in voting is rife with fraud, some Republicans, including Trump, are working to reverse course ahead of next year's consequential election.
Oh, I can't stand these people.
Reverse course over next year's consequential election.
Shut the fuck up.
Just say election.
Trump now waging his third White House bid, told attendees at CPAC, it's time to change our thinking on early and mail-in voting.
And in speeches and fundraising emails, he's touting his campaign's plans to encourage ballot harvesting, the practice of allowing third parties to collect and turn in other voters' ballots.
His party, he said, has no choice but to beat Democrats at their own game.
It's a stark reversal for a politician who last November issued an all-caps declaration.
You can never have free and fair elections with mail-in ballots.
Never, never, never.
So here we go, baby.
Donald Trump gets it.
He's decided to play the game.
Is this our path forward?
And what are we going to do, huh?
phil labonte
I mean, he has to.
The fact that CNN wrote a piece about it doesn't matter.
They have to ballot harvest.
They have to do mail-in stuff.
Because if they don't, they're literally giving the election away.
There's no way that you can compete if your opponents are literally going to people's homes to collect their ballots.
Especially when the people that they're collecting them from, if you're going to someone's home, they are not knowledgeable about what they're voting for.
troy nehls
Yeah, Phil, there have been many published studies that talk about when you start sending ballots, especially universal ballots, to people's homes that there's going to be a higher propensity for fraud and people Filling out other people's ballots, people getting two or three ballots, people that move.
It's just, it's a problem.
Donald Trump is absolutely right.
And what you saw in that 2020 election under that COVID is that these states started sending out secretaries of states.
Sending ballots to everybody because they're their definition they felt they had the authority to do it because of the national declaration the emergency declaration and that's how That's how that election in my in my humble opinion was was was taken away from Donald Trump, but here nor there I think that Donald Trump is in the right track.
He is the leader of our party and I hope many of the decision makers And the RNC and others have taken heed to his warning that if we don't start playing at their level and get down into the dirt with them, unfortunately, that's what you have to do.
I mean, am I am I encouraging now the Republicans got to be better cheaters to win elections?
I'm not saying that, but we got to get into the dirt with them, certainly, because if not, our country's lost.
unidentified
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
I'm looking at this list from the National Conference of State Legislatures and it has, you know, states that have designations because there are times where they say, you know, if you're physically unable to make it to the polling place, like, how do you cast your vote?
You shouldn't be excluded from the voting process.
And so, you know, in those cases, some states have rules saying your spouse or a family member or someone that you have written, you have written a, as a, written in I can't talk right now, have indicated in writing is your designee can take your ballot in.
But there are other states, I counted, you know, I don't want to speak without being able to completely research it, but on this list there's at least 11 that are sort of saying anyone, like you could give your ballot to anyone and they could turn it in for you.
And that starts to get sort of gray area and sketchy.
There's no way to ensure that that ballot gets Properly turned in.
I mean I really don't understand, it seems so basic to me, like why isn't election day a national holiday?
That seems obvious and yet I feel like no one's progressing forward.
troy nehls
Anna, you gave me the list of automatic ballots, nine states in 2020.
You listed them Vermont, Nevada, D.C., California, New Jersey.
Colorado, Hawaii, Utah, Washington, Oregon.
Okay, all those states are Democrats other than one, Utah.
So the more states that allow this, they're going to be the left-leaning, the states that are run by liberal governors and liberal mayors.
But I believe you stated, you looked it up, there were like 29 states in 2020 that made universal ballots.
35, I think.
unidentified
35.
troy nehls
So there were nine because of COVID.
All of a sudden they increased to 35.
All up underneath the COVID.
And you're just not going to have that.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, 35 states allowed voters to cite coronavirus as an excuse to vote via absentee ballot.
troy nehls
And that's why you saw what we saw.
But I don't think they're going to be able to have that.
They're going to have to come up with another pandemic by 2024.
Bird flu.
It could be it.
tim pool
Have you seen the news reporting on that one?
troy nehls
Scary thought, isn't it?
tim pool
H5N1, they were doing gain-of-function research on it to make it transmissible among mammals.
A couple weeks ago, a bunch of, I think, was it sea lions contracted bird flu?
unidentified

troy nehls
You know what concerns me about the way this government and Fauci, the way we handle COVID is that, you know, number one, the American people, they don't trust their government.
You see a train derailment in East Palestine.
We got Also, it's a conspiracy theories going on up there and everything and so they don't trust the government and that's a scary thought because I mean Tim God forbid a real another serious Pandemic another virus come upon this great country of ours.
How many people in this country are gonna say no to They don't care how dangerous it is.
They won't trust the government.
The government could get up there and say that this one here is three times as dangerous as coronavirus, this and that, and there are people that are not going to take it because they don't trust their government.
And that's the scary thought is in the future, the way we handle the coronavirus.
What are the American people going to do?
What is this country going to do if something serious comes upon us in the future?
phil labonte
It'll take people dying in the streets like the early videos that you saw of COVID from China.
This is where people were keeling over in the streets.
It'll take people doing that here in the States for like a while before people are like, okay, maybe it's serious.
You know, it'll take that kind of, that kind of shock.
event for people to be like, oh yeah, I guess it's worth risking. And they won't, they still won't be
like, oh I trust the government. It'll be like, well it's worth the risk because the alternative
is significantly worse. That's scary to say, but that's probably the situation that we're in.
It's going to take something worse to make people, you know.
tim pool
Well I was, I asked, I don't know, have you, I don't know if you're comfortable talking about
vaccine status? Sure, why not?
Did you get the... Absolutely I did.
You did?
troy nehls
I got Pfizer, yeah.
Early, early on.
I felt actually, I didn't think it was right, because all of a sudden, as a member of Congress, we're getting it before most other people get it.
I felt it was somewhat entitled there.
I don't know.
But I got it.
I got the one and two.
After the first one, it made me very, very sick.
I was sick.
It knocked me out.
And then it's interesting, I don't know how many months later, I went to Ukraine.
So I went to Kiev, Even though you had gotten?
and I was there for five days, and I come back, my wife and I,
and we were feeling sick on the plane, so we got it in Kiev.
We got it into Ukraine, and it knocked us out for two weeks.
I'm telling you.
unidentified
COVID?
troy nehls
The COVID.
After I got the shot, I ended up with COVID.
I was down for two weeks, and I'm telling you, I thought it was gonna kill me,
so I ended up getting the shot.
tim pool
The shot or COVID?
troy nehls
I thought the COVID was going to kill me.
No, the shot, it made me very, very sick.
I can remember flying back from D.C.
home and it was just, I was shaking, shivering.
About three days I was in trouble there.
But then I ended up getting COVID in the Ukraine, coming back, and then I went and got that cocktail What the hell?
I went to a local hospital and they gave me an IV.
I was there for two hours.
tim pool
Oh, monoclonals?
troy nehls
Monoclonal, yes.
And I had that therapy, my wife and I, and within a day, we felt much better.
unidentified
Yeah.
troy nehls
But they were restricting.
Even this administration was restricting.
And I'm going to believe it was red states.
They weren't getting the supply that they should have received.
And Texas is a big state.
So we were having a very difficult time getting those treatments, knowing that it was effective and it was working.
tim pool
What do you think about the vaccine?
troy nehls
Well, I had an opportunity last week.
I had Pfizer in my office.
I had the CEO of Pfizer over the development in the R&D of this and had a great frank conversation with him and I said, You know, you develop something like this so quickly when it usually takes years.
FDA approval, it takes years.
I said, did you feel any pressure to just produce something because people were dying?
He didn't feel any of that.
I mean, I didn't expect him to say, yeah, we screwed this up and should have never done it.
But I just, I had an opportunity, I felt better after I had a conversation with him.
I mean, these were some very, very smart guys.
They have a lab outside of New York and it's a, I forget, but it's like a level three lab.
I mean, they got well over a thousand people in there and they're doing all sorts of stuff in this lab to try to find a vaccine for the coronavirus.
I mean, but it, The sad part about it is that half of the American people, maybe not even half, don't trust our federal government and will refuse in the future to take any type of a shot that is recommended by the CDC and others.
They're just not going to do it.
Because they can't trust the government.
tim pool
Well, they shouldn't trust the government.
They lied about all of it.
troy nehls
I'm not saying they didn't lie about the vaccine.
I don't like Fauci.
I think there's a lot of money involved.
I think maybe ivervectin, hydrochloroquine, I talk about that in the book as well.
You think about Dr. Robert Malone, and I was the congressman that actually had his interview with Joe Rogan, Robert Malone's interview with Joe Rogan.
I transcribed that and I placed it into the congressional record.
It's there for life.
It will be there for life.
That interview, because what did they do?
Twitter and everybody?
They took it down.
Because Robert Malone was absolutely right.
This was about money.
This was big pharma.
And Ivermectin, hydrochloric, could have saved lives early on.
hannah claire brimelow
Did you have to get the vaccine, because you're in Congress?
troy nehls
No, I didn't.
But it was so early in the game that we really, we didn't know what we didn't know.
tim pool
It doesn't even do anything, right?
The only thing they claim it does now is it reduces the likelihood of hospitalization.
But people are still getting knocked out for weeks.
Joe Scarborough for three months, and then he's trying to deny it.
And Micah Brzezinski was like, no, it was three months.
And he's got, what, four or five shots?
And how come we don't hear these stories about these very serious recurrences or breakthrough cases among people who didn't get the vaccine?
Now, they come out in the press and they're like, that's because those people are dead.
And I'm like, yeah, bullshit.
In Illinois, you had the chief medical officer come out and be like, understand that if someone dies with COVID, it is registered as a death with COVID.
I think she said, what did she say?
Like if a guy dies in a motorcycle crash and it turns out he had COVID.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I did this story about some, this is months, I mean over a year at this point, where some state had to publicly reduce their COVID deaths because they were like, we went back through and based on our new definition, because like there had been someone who had COVID and died in a car crash and they counted that as a COVID death.
troy nehls
Well, because the hospital was paid more money if they could list it as a COVID death.
tim pool
But then when you say people were dying, it's like, okay, but how many people were really dying?
troy nehls
Right.
tim pool
Because all of these numbers are inflated.
troy nehls
And you can't trust it either.
And I said to the guy with Pfizer the other day, I said, you know, I said, I saw commercials, you got Pfizer commercials, I think even during the Super Bowl.
I said, but the idea that we're going to give shots now to little toddlers, two, three, four year olds, When there's really no data that says that there's a risk of loss of life with youngsters.
I mean, we know it's people with pre-existing conditions, obese people, senior people.
I mean, those were the people I think that we were targeting early on to get the shot, but healthy 18, 20, 25 year olds.
And I tell you something, this phone, you can see about anything on that phone.
Look at the people, the young people now, they're just keeling over from cardiac arrest.
Young athletes.
Did you see the meteorologist the other day?
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, she fainted.
tim pool
Really?
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, on live TV.
She's in L.A.
unidentified
Boom.
tim pool
Another one?
troy nehls
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
She didn't die.
tim pool
No, I know.
troy nehls
But there's a lot of side effects that maybe we truly don't know.
But hopefully we get to the bottom of it.
I hope we get to the bottom of it.
hannah claire brimelow
Do you think there's any way to cultivate trust between people?
tim pool
Woah, let's play this video.
troy nehls
Yeah, that's it.
unidentified
Oh man.
Woah.
Okay, like where's the actual video though?
Live in the studio local CBS meteorologist Alyssa Carlson's eyes roll back right before she slowly leans forward and
then suddenly Collapses to the floor KCAL's co-anchors quickly tossing to
commercials after realizing something like where's the actual video though?
tim pool
Is this it?
It started like okay. Let me let me try and find the actual video
I bet it'll be on Twitter.
I can't stand Google.
They're like, let us give you CBS telling you what's happening and then showing a slow loop.
troy nehls
I saw it on Twitter.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I saw it on Twitter too.
And it's weird because the girls, you know, that she's talking with, they're like, they think she's being dramatic about whatever they're talking about first.
Like she's having an exaggerated reaction.
And then they realize that she's on the floor.
unidentified
Thanks, Twitter.
tim pool
This stuff wasn't happening before COVID or the vaccine.
Whatever you want to think.
I don't know, man.
troy nehls
Well, first off, I didn't get any boosters.
I got the two.
That was it.
I think it's up to, you know, I guess the individual and their physician.
That's what it's up to.
But it shouldn't be mandated.
I have fought very, very hard.
I voted against the NDAA because I said to myself, everybody that was kicked out of the military because they refused to get shot should get reinstated and brought back into the military.
And the NDAA, it didn't go far enough.
The legislation didn't go far enough.
So it's a huge problem.
And Fauci's going to have some issues.
I'm telling you.
tim pool
Let's play this clip again real quick.
Let me see.
I don't know if I can zoom in properly, but let's see how it looks.
unidentified
She joins us live in the studio.
Alyssa, this really is the calm before the storm.
Not again!
No!
Oh!
You know, we're going to go ahead and go to break right now.
Yeah, we'll be right back.
tim pool
I want to, I can't zoom in because of the way the framing we have, because the video will just get too big and you can't see it.
But like the woman's eyes, like, whoa, they just just roll back in our head.
You can sort of see it right there.
Remember that comedian who was on stage and then she was like, I got the vaccine and I didn't get sick.
And then she falls back, hits her head and gets a concussion.
This stuff keeps happening.
troy nehls
Well, you see it happening on basketball courts and everywhere.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I was gonna say, Carlson has responded.
She said that she has a condition called vascovagal syncope.
I don't know if that sounds familiar to anyone, but she just like said, I didn't really notice anything and I started to feel nauseous.
I thought maybe I was dehydrated and then I passed out.
tim pool
Oh yeah, all of the- It's super normal, I guess!
How come we didn't have these- we've had the internet for a long time, we didn't see these videos happening until recently.
And we saw these videos out of China, but right when COVID was starting, people were just passing out in the streets, so.
I don't know, man.
hannah claire brimelow
It's wild.
tim pool
Should we take some calls from our Discord server?
So, I know we had pre-screened questions, but I don't think that kind of makes sense, because you need to ask questions about, like, the conversation, right?
But we do have people who wanted to ask some questions, so I don't know if you know how to pull it up, Serge?
unidentified
Yeah, so according to...
According to Brett McDonald, we've got it here sorted out.
So what I'm going to do is basically just bring them into our chat.
You notice the little thing that says Tim Cass right there?
Yeah, that's me.
That's our audio.
Right.
So when they show up, you'll see a little audio underneath there.
tim pool
But does that mean, I mean, our audio is not looping back on itself.
How will we hear them if our audio, is it our audio going in and we don't hear it or what?
unidentified
No, we will only hear it through our headphones and everyone else will hear it.
So it's fine.
It's just letting us know that we are speaking.
tim pool
Okay, so somebody's in.
Who's that?
unidentified
Fenrir.
tim pool
How do we turn on his audio?
unidentified
They should have push talk enabled.
Let's see if it works.
tim pool
Can they talk?
unidentified
Mic check.
What up?
tim pool
Hey, this is cool, isn't it?
Can you hear us?
unidentified
I can hear you guys just fine.
Cool.
tim pool
Can everybody else hear you?
phil labonte
I can hear him.
unidentified
Turn it up a little bit.
hannah claire brimelow
Wow, we're like a real radio show now.
unidentified
Fenrir, are you there?
Can you hear us?
I can.
tim pool
Yeah, ask away, brother.
unidentified
Fantastic, man.
tim pool
Welcome to the conversation.
unidentified
Well, I think you guys are right about keeping things on topic with what you guys are chatting about.
First and foremost, I'm a board certified family medicine physician.
So whenever I hear you guys chatting about medically related information, Um, some of the mispronunciations drive me a little nuts.
That's okay.
hannah claire brimelow
I know, I feel like I'm guilty.
unidentified
I wish that you guys could have like a medical consultant right there to fact check a whole bunch of stuff.
You guys should look into something called, um, what is it?
Candida auris as the next, uh, pandemic.
It's a hyper deadly fungus according to the CDC, which- What'd you say it was Candida auris?
It's kind of, uh, hard to believe at this point.
Candida, what was it?
tim pool
Candida auris.
unidentified
Candida auris.
A-U-R-I-S.
OK, thank you.
tim pool
I think I was looking at that earlier today, actually.
I think I might I think I even have I might even have the story pulled up somewhere.
unidentified
Yeah, it's it's been CDC news.
But my initial questions, I guess I got to go back to that was what do you think about convention of states, state succession?
And lastly, These were questions for the representative there.
What do you think about ideas like Greater Idaho and New California?
troy nehls
Well, I think it's going to be up to the individual states.
I think there were some issues up there right now.
Is it parts of Oregon that want to leave Oregon, some specific counties and move out?
Is it Idaho?
Is that what it is?
They want to go to Idaho?
I think that's going to be up to those states and they'll have to figure it out.
Listen, fortunate for me, I'm from the greatest state, the Union, the great state of Texas, and everybody wants to be us.
But I don't, I don't, the idea of secession and all this, I don't know how, if I could support that.
I think that we are the United States of America.
We need to do better.
I think if our politicians, Doctor, I think if our politicians would just put the American people first, I think that would be enough to satisfy the American people and we could prosper.
We just got to put our people, the American people first.
We do so much for so many others.
But I tell you, all these people coming into our country from the southern border, I mean, I don't know how we really feel that's benefiting.
I talked to those that say we could use the cheap labor, but it's putting a strain on our public school system, our resources.
We just can't support this.
We cannot sustain what's taking place at our southern border.
And I say put the American people first.
Build a big, beautiful ball with beautiful gates.
Because it's about legal immigration.
This illegal immigration is causing us problems.
So I don't know if I've answered your question, but am I there?
unidentified
Well, at least we get a good opinion on some of the discord.
tim pool
Uh-oh, we lost you.
It appears the caller has broken up.
unidentified
I'm here.
Yeah, still there.
troy nehls
There you go.
unidentified
I don't know where I was, but what I was saying, essentially, it's nice to be able to get an opinion from an actual senator that spent some time in Washington, see what you think about some of these little ideas that are coming.
Go check out NewCalifornia.com.
I think that that's worth at least a little bit of time.
tim pool
Yeah, the thing about greater Idaho and New California is that it's not civil war or a secession from the Union.
It's states either joining other states or becoming their own states.
I think that's a really good idea, because that can prevent the country from actually breaking apart.
If Eastern Oregon is able to join with Idaho, where the views are more aligned, it won't actually change the balance of power in the Senate.
It moves over one member of Congress, so sure, Oregon may be mad about it, but it stops the fighting.
unidentified
Right?
tim pool
The boundary just moves to encompass Eastern Oregon into Idaho.
troy nehls
I think if it would go to a referendum and the people inside those counties and communities would support that, I think why would you get in the way?
Because the left isn't going to want it.
tim pool
Because they don't want to lose their slaves.
They get taxes from these people.
There's benefits for them.
They don't want to give up that territory.
Should we bring in another person?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Maybe get like two more.
unidentified
Let's go for it.
tim pool
Who's next?
unidentified
Brett's gonna do it for me right now.
If you can hear me, man, just go ahead and bring someone in.
tim pool
See you later, Fenrir.
Thanks for hanging out.
unidentified
Yeah, thank you.
tim pool
First caller ever!
unidentified
Thanks, guys.
tim pool
Super cool.
hannah claire brimelow
That's crazy.
unidentified
Yeah, what an honor.
tim pool
All right, now we're just gonna wait, I guess?
unidentified
I think we just wait.
I don't know.
I don't know if I may wait.
There we go.
Yeah, we'll just wait for it.
tim pool
Jaeger Blackhand has joined the live room.
What say you, good sir?
Ask questions.
unidentified
How are y'all on this fine Tuesday night?
tim pool
We're good, man.
Welcome.
Welcome to the show.
unidentified
I don't know.
I'm going to say, first of all, doing this on Discord, best audio you guys ever had.
I would not be able to figure out otherwise.
tim pool
Right on.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Hopefully we don't get banned.
unidentified
Nah, I flip a coin.
My question is for Representative Nails.
Nails?
Is that how you say it?
troy nehls
Nails.
Hammering Nails.
Yeah, that's good.
unidentified
I'll just call you Mr. Troy because us Southerners put your names all the time.
My question is, I'm a fellow Southerner like you.
I come from the great state of Mississippi.
I sometimes cross in the good old Louisiana over there.
My question is, would you be willing to push forward a bill or support a bill That would rework our national rail and pipe network.
The railway that passes through the town that I love and grew up in is basically holding on by threads and needles, and it's amazing that we have not had a derailment yet and had a La Megantite.
If you guys ever heard that rail disaster.
If you haven't, I suggest you look it up.
It was awful.
tim pool
So like an infrastructure thing?
troy nehls
It's a great question. I happen to be the chairman over rails pipelines and
hazardous materials that subcommittee. I was up in East Palestine and you're
probably talking about the class 1 railroads. You're talking about UP, Norfolk,
BNSF, the major airlines or railroads.
I think what the American people have to understand, too, is that when you have a derailment and you have leakage, you have spillage of hazmat, obviously it affects the environment.
But 99.9% of the material, hazmat material, that's transported by rail in this country reach their destinations safely.
What happened in East Palestine was horrible and it needs to be addressed in North Fork Southern.
I've been with Alan Shaw.
He's going to address that.
I don't think they're leaving that community anytime soon.
They have to be responsible to the 4,800 people in East Palestine.
But we got a PHMSA reauthorization.
Pipelines is the safest way to move our energy across this country.
But this administration doesn't support pipelines.
reauthorize that here coming up here for this session. And pipelines, pipelines is the safest
way to move our energy across this country. But this administration doesn't support pipelines.
They cancel Keystone. If you don't like pipelines, you don't like rail, I guess then let's just move
this stuff down our freeways with damn 18 wheelers and the carbon footprint of a diesel truck.
I mean, it makes no sense to me.
I think there are so many safety measures in place, rules, regulations as it relates to pipelines.
We use the innovation and the technology we have today.
And PHMSA, we've got to police them up a little bit.
We've got to add a few people to PHMSA so they can go out there and conduct assessments and stuff.
But I support rail and I support pipelines.
unidentified
Cool.
tim pool
Right on.
unidentified
Wonderful.
tim pool
Well, thanks, Jaeger.
We're going to try and get maybe one or two more in here.
We don't have a lot of time, so it might be one, but maybe we can do two because it's fun.
It's the first night.
unidentified
Well, I hope to see you all tomorrow night then.
tim pool
Absolutely.
Appreciate it, man.
Thanks for coming.
unidentified
See ya.
Good night.
tim pool
Next up, what do we got?
unidentified
We'll see.
phil labonte
Collar!
unidentified
Just gonna wait now.
hannah claire brimelow
This is so wild.
tim pool
Yeah, it makes it more special.
hannah claire brimelow
It's one of those things that, like, when you said, oh, we're gonna do live collars, I was like, Ian's idea, man.
tim pool
Credit goes to Ian.
unidentified
It was his idea.
tim pool
DotQ, what up?
unidentified
Hello, hello.
Hey, how you doing?
tim pool
We could hear the feedback from Hannah-Claire talking.
Make sure you turn your volume down on the show.
unidentified
I got you.
tim pool
It's like, I was in a love line.
They're like, turn your radio down.
What's up, man?
What's going on?
unidentified
Hey, very honored to be here on the first night.
I actually got a shout out the first night that you did the after show live, so I'm very honored to be here.
I've got a question for Representative Nail.
I'm a young man, I just turned 28, two days before Tim's birthday, and I was wanting to see if you've got any suggestions for a young man who's been involved in politics since he was in elementary school.
I've been I've been shown Fox News and everything.
My parents were very involved in keeping up with politics and everything.
So, I'm wanting to run for political office at some point in the next two to six years, but I'm a little worried about skeletons coming back from the younger days.
Something like a Kavanaugh, but not that egregious.
I was wondering if you had any suggestions for young people like myself who are wanting to get into politics but are worried about the nastiness that comes with it.
troy nehls
I do.
A good example would be George Santos, right?
I don't know how they run elections up in New York, but you've got to do your opposition research on you.
When I ran, I was an elected sheriff, I was an elected councilman before that, but when I ran for Congress, I spent over $5,000 and hired somebody to do opposition research on me.
I knew the DCCC was going to do it, but I didn't know what they were going to find out, so I spent the $5,000 to have somebody look into me and my background so I would be able to be prepared to address any issues that may come up.
If you're going to seek public office, start locally.
Get up to DC so quickly.
But don't run for school board.
If you try to get on that school board, whatever decision you make, half the people are going to love you, half the people are going to hate you.
I think it's a very important position to hold.
That's great.
But if you want to seek higher office from the school board, you forget it.
It's just not going to happen.
Get on a little city council.
Do something like that.
A non-partisan office like that.
And just go out there and volunteer and serve your community.
And let people know.
Just be truthful to people.
Be transparent.
And they're going to like you.
Look them in the eyeballs.
Tell them what you want to do for them.
unidentified
Well, wonderful.
That's amazing advice.
Thank you so much, Representative Nails.
troy nehls
Thank you.
God bless you.
tim pool
Thanks for hanging out, man.
unidentified
God bless you as well.
Thank you, Tim.
I appreciate you having me on.
Keep up the great work, y'all, and we still want that Phil in the morning show at some point.
tim pool
Phil in the morning, that's a good one.
We gotta get this new studio built.
It's taking forever.
It's frustrating.
Plus, man, I just got some sales numbers and it's like, wow.
Most of the ad sales stuff is just automated, but it looks like the market's collapsing really bad.
So actually, this is a funny thing.
The ad rep we buy from, so we bought the ads in Times Square and stuff, I get a text message like, hey, how are things going?
Just want to see what's going on.
And I'm like, you're hitting me up for the same reason I'm worried.
Like, the people who sell ad space are asking their clients what's going on.
And I'm like, I'm asking, I'm like, I sell ads too in a different way from you.
I can't buy from you if they're not buying from me, so.
We'll see, but it's, we need to get more members.
That's why I'm like, we need to find out ways to make it more beneficial to be a member and expand that, because that's the real business.
Like everybody who pays 10 bucks a month, exponentially, the more we get, then the safer we are, the more we can expand.
Advertisement is a crap shot.
It's like, you just never know.
But let's, Doc, thanks for hanging out.
Let's pull in, maybe we can get two more in.
unidentified
Thank you so much, Tim.
tim pool
Thanks for hanging out.
Who's next?
unidentified
I think in the future, uh, I'll be doing the swapping from, like, the screened area to the new one, but... It's probably faster that way, right?
tim pool
You can just go boop-boop.
unidentified
Yeah, definitely, yeah.
But again, it's the first time, guys, so... nailing, er, what's the word?
Ironing out all the kinks.
hannah claire brimelow
I think we should have a members-only show that only goes behind the paywall, that is completely surged, just reading everyone's superchats.
tim pool
Oh, no, we actually, we're talking about doing a members-only show that's actually Colin's.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, be cool.
tim pool
A Colin show.
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
Like an advice show!
tim pool
J.M.
McFarland, what up?
Or J. McFarland, sorry, not J.M.
unidentified
Yeah, you're here.
Jay, you're live, man.
Long time listener, fourth ever caller.
All right.
Awesome.
I was waiting for that one.
tim pool
What's up?
unidentified
Uh, pleased to be here with you.
Great man.
Um There's a bit of a lag and delay going on here but for the
for the congressman I've heard him address some of the stuff pertaining to East Palestine train issues or whatever.
What is being done for accountability and holding the rail companies completely liable?
They get eminent domain for the railway passage.
they get taxpayer funds for maintenance and upkeep.
Well, I think we got the question right.
Yeah.
Yeah, what do we know?
troy nehls
Well, my visit, I was on the ground for about four hours up in East Palestine and I had an opportunity to sit down with the mayor, EPA officials, Norfolk Southern.
I sat down, sat down with them all.
I toured the entire area.
I think there's some misinformation that's being spread out there that Listen, there's over 165 individuals from Norsefolk Southern and contractors trying to clean up that mess up there.
They're digging down around the track where the actual derailment occurred.
They're digging down about four feet and they're reaching clay.
And that's a blessing because it's kind of a bathtub.
It's kind of holding some of that hazardous material.
As it relates to the sticks and the stones that are being thrown into a little creek there, They went upstream about a mile or so and they shut it down and they diverted that entire stream all the way around the contaminated area and then sent it back in.
So, it's priorities of work.
You've got to understand that that area, that contaminated water, they're going to get rid of all that water.
They're going to go in there and get rid of all the material that has been contaminated.
And there's just, I think, an enormous amount of misinformation.
I drank the water, the public water supply is safe to drink, and the mayor, I looked him in the eye, I said, just tell me one thing I can do for you.
I'm with the government, I'm here to help.
He said, would you just tell my people, tell my people that the public water supply is safe to drink.
I went down to the local Chinese restaurant and drank some of the water to try to, he's trying to manage a situation there.
Northfolk Southern is going to pay for this, but the NTSB will have their report out in the next several months.
We'll look at it.
I read the preliminary report.
It's going to be transparent.
I will hold hearings on this.
tim pool
Cool.
unidentified
Right on.
So we've got a pretty good confirmation that it's not going to be one of those that the railway is paying for it but using taxpayer dollars that sustain them and keep them in operations the same as the airlines?
Well there's all sorts of... Or is it actually going to be the profits?
troy nehls
Well there's all sorts of grants that Class 1s, Class 2s, Class 3s get.
There's SISI grants too and stuff so I don't know how many, what type of grants Norfolk Southern has received.
I haven't looked into all that.
I just want to make sure that we We don't have more and more derailments.
I mean, when you have a derailment like this, and you have leakage, and you have the big mushroom cloud over that community, it obviously causes people many, many concerns.
So, I think it's being addressed, but I can assure you as a chairman over that subcommittee, I will get to the bottom of it.
It will all be transparent.
It will be transparent, and we'll do everything we can to try to keep those railroads as safe as can be.
unidentified
Thank you, Representative Nails.
I appreciate your time this evening.
troy nehls
Thank you.
tim pool
I hear what he's saying, too.
Like, you know, if these rail companies are getting subsidies from the government, then when they, quote, pay for the disaster, it's like they're just using subsidy money.
But I don't know how else you do it.
I mean, that still does punish the company because with less subsidy, then there's less profit in general.
troy nehls
Or they could just pass it down to the end user and they could charge more to haul.
I mean, they're going to get their money back one way or another.
tim pool
Yeah.
All right, man.
Thanks for hanging out, Jay.
We'll hit the last caller.
unidentified
Thanks, have a good night, y'all.
tim pool
Have a good one.
Are you able to just pull him in, or is Brett gonna do it?
unidentified
I have been trying to text Brett.
Brett, if you text me back, that'd be sweet.
And this is Brett Mack.
Yeah, he's just doing this right now.
I think in the future I'll just be the person bringing it in.
Because I can see who he's got in the screening room ready to go.
Yeah.
They're in right now.
Ulfgar, you're in.
phil labonte
Ulfgar!
unidentified
Yep, let us know.
tim pool
Is that a strong Viking name?
phil labonte
Sounds like it.
unidentified
You're here!
Uh-oh.
You there, man?
All right, yeah.
Sorry, I was just waiting for you to stop talking.
So thanks.
No, it was my first D&D character back when I was like 18.
But yeah, so thanks for letting me on the show.
I'm really happy to be here.
And I just had a question for the Congressman.
Can you not hear me?
troy nehls
Yes, sir.
Go ahead.
unidentified
We can hear you, man.
Okay, so my question for the Congressman is, I know Tim is all about culture and making sure that we show up and we take over the cultural spaces that are important, and I think that the Internet's the most important cultural space that we have, and we really need to be on the Internet and to be doing things to take that space over.
Have you heard of Twitch?
I can't say I have.
troy nehls
Can't say I have, my friend, no.
unidentified
Yeah, and so, you know, because of how important it is to be on the internet and to be So, I would love to see all the Freedom Caucus on Twitch playing Among Us.
AOC took over that space and she owned it.
She had one of the biggest streams back in 2020.
It's incredible to me that your consultants have no idea what Twitch is.
It's the best way for you to get free publicity.
You don't have to pay a dime and you can get tens of thousands of people watching.
tim pool
This is a really good point.
I'll add a few bits here.
The first thing I'll say is Twitch is owned by Amazon.
It's very woke and they ban people in a split second.
But he's right.
AOC played this video game.
It got an insane amount of viewers.
It was massive and it generated a ton of interest.
It helps make her a celebrity.
And that's the kind of stuff that I agree with Ulfgar on.
Getting members of the Freedom Caucus to do these kind of like community building, cultural or publicity events.
That being said, Ofkar, Poker with the Boys is coming!
unidentified
That's great, that's great.
I love Poker with the Boys.
hannah claire brimelow
Are you a poker player?
unidentified
Me?
Yeah, that's awesome.
tim pool
What about you, Congressman?
Do you play poker?
troy nehls
I went down to LaBerge last week for the Thursday games.
And I sat in the sports book a little bit too long.
But then I went out there and played some cards and stuff.
Oh, man.
Great time.
Went with my twin brother.
We were down there for 18 hours and got back.
unidentified
Nice.
tim pool
So, Olfgaard, imagine this.
Friday night, the plan is, so we got two poker tables on their way, professional tables with Deckmate shufflers, just like the casinos.
Got them after market.
First one's gonna be here tomorrow.
It's gonna be set up downstairs in our green room where we're going to do just fun, you know, home games.
I think Maryland buy-ins are legal, but we'll make sure everything's legal.
And then we have an RFID table coming to the new studio where we're gonna do a show called Poker with the Boys, Poker with the Boys.
And then Friday after the show, instead of doing an after show, We'll have a two hour live tournament style poker game with staff members, our guests.
So if you came on a Friday, we'd hang out with you.
The point of the show is mostly to build culture and community and to make jokes and to smack talk.
And it would be funny to see like you and like Matt Gaetz and Matt Gaetz, he bluffs you out of a huge pod and you get stacked and everyone's laughing.
troy nehls
Right.
tim pool
So this, I think, aligns kind of with what you're saying, Wolfgar, but in a way that's more so our kind of audience, I guess.
I don't know if, you know, Among Us with like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Congressman Nails would be as effective, but poker would be.
unidentified
It doesn't have to be Among Us, that was just an example, but just having congressmen on Twitch, on YouTube Live, actually being fun and having fun, while also explaining their ideas, it's free publicity, okay?
And that's why your consultants haven't told you about it.
troy nehls
I appreciate you telling me this.
So this is great, and I'm so glad you called in and you informed me on this.
I'm gonna get on this thing right away.
I'm gonna get with my team.
I'm gonna say, what the hell is this Twitch stuff?
You gotta get me on it.
Ulfgar said, get your ass on this thing.
I'm gonna get it done.
unidentified
Thank you so much.
tim pool
And this is what I'm talking about.
This is why I'm like, so, you know, Friday after the show we go, I'll go play for like an hour at the casino down the street.
I'm like, I'd rather just hang out with my friends and play a home game for fun.
And then I think what we want to do is like, there's no buy-in.
It's a tournament style game where the winner gets the Super Chats.
So the people who are donating to chat will be like, it was, you know, X amount of dollars.
Boom.
Here you go.
And they'll be like, you know, we'll give you a stack of cash or something, whatever's legal and we're allowed to do.
But I think if there's no buy-in, it's not gambling.
We'd be totally fine doing it.
They still might consider it something weird.
So we have to look into it, but.
This is going to be fun.
You know, Dave Smith was mentioning it'll be funny to like, you know, you're, you're in a hand with Jordan Peterson and he's like, you can't bluff me because what you're actually talking about is the archetypal, you know?
Yeah, whatever.
If we get Jordan Peterson on Friday night, but I think Poker with the Boys is going to be a really fun show.
People smack talking to each other, bluffing.
hannah claire brimelow
I think it's nice to see, especially, you know, public figures, elected officials, in a different light.
Like, having a different energy.
I think that's why a lot of stuff AOC does.
Like, I remember she did her, like, skincare routine on her Instagram Live going on-train.
Like, that kind of stuff feels relatable to people and, you know, as probably great as the speak you are, we love to see you in a professional setting.
It's fun to see you outside of that box.
unidentified
Yeah, that's what young people want.
Young people want to see you actually being a human being that's not sitting there in a suit and a tie.
Boom.
tim pool
That's why CPAC, I'm like, and TPUSA, they're great, but like, when we went to Turning Point, I think we were the only ones not wearing suits.
I mean, Bannon wasn't, to be fair.
But, you know, most people there, even the young people showing up, were all dressed up, and I'm like, you gotta reach the average person, you know?
unidentified
Man, I felt so out of place, honestly.
tim pool
Yeah.
All right, Ulfgar, that was a really good one.
So I really do appreciate it.
I think we'll wrap things up.
And this was an awesome very first call-in portion of the Uncensored show.
And I mean, hopefully this is the kind of stuff we can put together that helps build culture and community, but also a more sustainable business operation, because I don't want to rely on YouTube.
I want to be able to get the show on as many platforms as possible so that the real focus is, can we convert audience members across the board into hanging out with us, becoming members, and supporting
the machine. So, Congressman, thanks for hanging out. It's been a blast.
troy nehls
Thank you. Appreciate y'all. God bless. You got a great team here. Great.
tim pool
Thank you very much. Yeah, good people. Absolutely. And more awesome stuff to come. Hey, she's prettier than you
troy nehls
two ugly dudes over here.
hannah claire brimelow
I paid him to say that.
troy nehls
You guys wouldn't believe.
tim pool
All right.
And for everybody who is a member who joined the Discord, if you haven't joined the Discord yet, I strongly recommend that you do so we can get you in the chat and talk.
And I also want to add, With the new live show, After Show, we have currently 3,254 people watching.
That's the biggest we've done yet, so hopefully this can be a huge component of how we make this operation run, because if we can rival the Daily Wire, they've got a million subscribers, we're nowhere near that number.
Nowhere, nowhere near that number.
Very, very, very much lower.
But I would love to be able to create a cultural and community space that's as large as and rivaling and working with them.
So maybe this is a path forward.
Oh, man, the viewership just skyrocketed.
We're at like 3,300 now.
Wow, it just keeps going up.
unidentified
3,301.
tim pool
Amazing!
And we're wrapping up.
We went a bit late.
It's 11.01.
But thank you all so much for watching, everybody.
And we'll do it again tomorrow night with more callers.
Should be great.
