Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to the 37 charges that he is facing. | ||
He has returned to Bedminster, New Jersey. | ||
He will be speaking in about 15 minutes from now. | ||
So we will be pulling that up and playing his speech. | ||
But we do have a lot of big culture war news to begin with. | ||
Starbucks, according to their union, has ordered Pride decorations be removed from any of their locations. | ||
Now, outright, the story was that they said, take it all down. | ||
We're shutting this down in the middle of Pride Month. | ||
A spokesperson for Starbucks is denying it. | ||
They're saying they have no such policy in place. | ||
You know, I gotta be honest, I don't believe them. | ||
I think that it is more likely that Starbucks is reacting to the boycott. | ||
New information coming out about Bud Light, their sales are down again, another week on. | ||
And we're seeing Target take another massive hit. | ||
Their market cap is dropping. | ||
I think Starbucks and many other companies are seeing this and they're saying, okay, we better back off. | ||
But now that the union is making it a big deal during Pride Month, they're getting a little worried. | ||
We'll break down that story. | ||
And then we got more interesting news. | ||
Last night, in the Members Only section, we talked about a trans influencer who Went topless at the White House during a Pride event with two other trans personalities, sparking a major backlash that actually resulted in the president of the White House, I should say the administration, denouncing the activists and banning them from the White House for future events. | ||
I think this is tremendous. | ||
This is a shift. | ||
The behavior that we see at all these pride parades that we're critical of, lewd behavior in front of children, the White House has condemned and banned someone over. | ||
So I think we should be absolutely saying, OK, let's let's see more of this. | ||
So let's we'll get into all this. | ||
And then, of course, we'll be pulling up Donald Trump's speech. | ||

I didn't know that, and I used to do web design. | ||
So thanks, Ian. | ||
I appreciate it. | ||
What's up, guys? | ||
Sir.com. | ||
Let's get to it. | ||
So in about 10 or so minutes, Trump will be speaking. | ||
But before we get to that, let's jump to this story. | ||
We have this tweet from the Starbucks Workers United saying, Breaking! | ||
In the middle of Pride Month, Starbucks bans pride decorations in stores across the United States. | ||
Now, according to Community Notes and a few other articles, There's a spokesperson saying it is not true. | ||
They have no change to their corporate policy regarding displays for Pride or any other heritage month. | ||
Interesting. | ||
We continue to encourage our store leaders to celebrate with their communities, including US Pride Month in June. | ||
I don't believe him! | ||
Why? | ||
For one thing, you have the actual workers pointing out they're experiencing this and they're hearing from, it's the union saying that they're hearing from their workers. | ||
I think the ideologically motivated activists are more likely to be outraged, the decorations are coming down, and the corporation is more worried about a financial backlash to people finding out they're backtracking, but There's actually a much simpler reason I don't believe the corporation. | ||
There are videos of people in Starbucks taking down the decorations and saying they were told to take down the decorations. | ||
According to the Twitter thread, Starbucks Workers United said, For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in store. | ||
This seems to be the first year the publicly pro-LGBTQ company has taken this kind of stance. | ||
Taking a cue from Target, who bowed to anti-LGBTQ pressure and removed Pride merchandise, corporate and district management are taking down the Pride decorations that have become an annual tradition in stores. | ||
In union stores where Starbucks claims they are unable to make unilateral changes without bargaining, the company took down Pride decorations and flags anyway, ignoring their own anti-union talking point. | ||
Starbucks is powered by many queer workers, but management has failed to materially support the LGBT community. | ||
Last October, some workers have reported that their transgender benefit plan changed. | ||
If Starbucks was a true ally, they would stand up for us, especially during a time when LGBT people are under attack, a company that cares wouldn't turn their back, true allyship with the community is negotiating a union contract, etc, etc. | ||
Well, the update to the New Republic article is that they are denying the allegations. | ||
But there actually are videos here. | ||
We have this video on... Okay, it's going to make me... I'm not going to... I don't want to open TikTok. | ||
They did post videos on the article. | ||
Maybe I can play it this way. | ||
There we go. | ||
You've got people in Starbucks taking down Pride flags. | ||
So you can see them taking the flags down. | ||
You know, so when I see a video like that, and there's like three or four others that they play, I'm kind of like, yeah, it probably makes sense that Starbucks is saying, take this stuff down. | ||
And it may be that all of these companies are taking major financial hits. | ||
The White House is even condemning trans activists for their behavior that we see typical at Pride events. | ||
It seems like there is a major shift in the culture world. | ||
Yeah, corporate America is scared and I think the elite are actually starting to become frightened that they've pushed this on us too quickly. | ||
That doesn't mean they've given up. | ||
That doesn't mean they've won. | ||
It just means that some of them are going to be a little bit softer with their messaging for a little while. | ||
But Starbucks doing this is quite significant because this is a place where beautiful people do important creative things on their MacBooks. | ||
And so as the urbanite and brilliant forward-thinking cosmopolitans Who make up their consumer base or who are their ideal customers to be less important to them than the massive public backlash that they fear might befall them as occurred to Target and Bud Light is an unbelievably beautiful thing. | ||
I mean there is real market pressure here and I have to say this is not something I predicted. | ||
I remember when people stopped buying Bud Light I was I was cautiously optimistic, but I was a little bit worried that it might fall off. | ||
And now this has trickled all the way down to Starbucks. | ||
I mean, how wonderful. | ||
When you think of liberals, you think of Starbucks. | ||
Exactly. | ||
That is exactly what you think of. | ||
And so that means what the conservatives are doing is working. | ||
We're finally doing something that's working. | ||
This means we should go harder, keep it up, never let down. | ||
I just kind of think it's much simpler than that. | ||
I don't want to say it's not working, but I think conservatives are just in the front of the wave surfing this energy, right? | ||
Target was already dealing with backlash before conservatives even brought it up. | ||
Something changed. | ||
You know what I think it is? | ||
I think for the longest time you have pride parades. | ||
Nobody cares. | ||
They say, I don't go to those parades, I don't care if you do them. | ||
Then they have pride merchandise at stores and they're like, don't know, don't care, my family doesn't even know anything about it, do your thing. | ||
Then one day their kid comes home with a book from school, talking about adult concepts and showing them graphic pictures. | ||
And now they're saying, is that what they've been doing? | ||
Wow! | ||
And so then when they walked into a Target, they went, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
I saw those books. | ||
Now we're seeing the same thing with Starbucks. | ||
Finally, people are saying, you've stepped over the line. | ||
This is the crazy thing. | ||
If they just kept it, we're going to have our celebration and we're going to mind our own business. | ||
Nothing would happen. | ||
Nothing would change. | ||
But as soon as they started introducing it to children, now it's taken the whole thing down. | ||
But even with the parades and the celebrations, they've, like, upped the ante. | ||
There is rampant degeneracy. | ||
There are naked people. | ||
Like, illegal, lewd, nudity, sex acts, etc. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Let's just be very clear about it. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
And in front of children. | ||
Oftentimes, like, you know, these are on major city streets. | ||
And even if you're not there to go to the Pride Parade, what if you have to take your kid to the doctor and you have to walk down the street that's on the parade route? | ||
Like, they are forcing your children to interact with them. | ||
Non-stop, and I think the parents have had enough. | ||
I've had enough. | ||
Well, and the question is, do we want to create a culture where it is safe for children to be outside in broad daylight with their parents, where they won't be likely to see anything sexually perverse, or do we want to make this a country where perverts are free to wear leather half-naked in the streets? | ||
That's the question, and your average American, who is not necessarily on the right, is saying, I prefer a country where children aren't going to see that when they step outside. | ||
You kind of want a balance, because a hundred years ago, men weren't allowed to go shirtless. | ||
Good. | ||
It was illegal, because of decency laws, to have no shirt on when you walk around outside. | ||
Men couldn't wear shirts? | ||
Yeah. | ||
And it was like 1920. | ||
No, couldn't be shirtless. | ||
Couldn't be shirtless. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm sorry, yeah, yeah. | |
Tim's like, interesting. | ||
Men, take your shirts off! | ||
I would rather go back. | ||
I would rather go back to not being able to see women's ankles, right? | ||
Like literally not being able to see women's ankles than what it is now. | ||
But you're right, you're right. | ||
No, like, let's be real. | ||
Let's be real. | ||
I prefer some good old classical and traditional liberalism. | ||
You know, people want to dress the way they dress as long as it's not lewd and obscene. | ||
So you can wear shorts. | ||
Women can wear, you know, gym shorts and go jogging, whatever they're wearing. | ||
But you have to cover your ankles with socks. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
But if you're gonna tell me my choice is between going back to puritanical no ankles or that video we saw out of West Hollywood where two adult men performed a sex act on each other in front of children, I'd be like, yeah, ban all of it. | ||
No ankles. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, I will gladly wear two layers in the summer. | ||
No child was ever traumatized or abused because they couldn't see someone's ankle, right? | ||
Think about this. | ||
You can't buy, as a woman, right? | ||
Do you know how hard it is for me to even buy a bathing suit that covers your entire backside? | ||
Like, they're almost non-existent. | ||
My kids are at, like, I'm on the beach with my father, my brother, my two children, and they are looking at girls' butts. | ||
All day long. | ||
There's nothing wrong with it. | ||
All of society has gone way off the rails, and they're like, oh, that's fine. | ||
I even see girls in the conservative movement. | ||
They're on religious holiday trips, and they're in thong bathing suits. | ||
Yeah, it's wild. | ||
Or at least the ones that are almost a thong. | ||
What are we doing here? | ||
That I understand. | ||
There's a line. | ||
And it gets... | ||
The line keeps being pushed upon. | ||
I don't mind bathing suits. | ||
The issue is, though, you know, like, Ian, you were just saying, | ||
it's like Sharia almost. | ||
Look, man, we talk about this when it comes to abortion. | ||
If my choice is a pro-life candidate who says we should restrict abortion outright, | ||
I go, I don't know if I agree with that. | ||
Then I look over to the left and they say something like, we should have people getting abortions at nine months. | ||
And I'm like, no, we should get rid of that. | ||
What are my options? | ||
My option is literally just the one who stops that. | ||
And this is what the left doesn't seem to understand. | ||
This is why I think Starbucks made this move. | ||
This is why I think these corporations are making this move. | ||
Because they're right now, The bifurcation of culture has split dramatically where the traditional liberals in this country, who are like, we're totally cool with pride flags, are now saying, I don't want to have to explain to my kid why those two adult men were doing a sex act in public. | ||
Just get rid of it. | ||
So now it's like Pride Month is out because you've crossed the line. | ||
Well, I think, Lisa, you touched on something very important when you were discussing having trouble finding a modest bathing suit, which is that as soon as something becomes normalized, it almost invariably becomes the new status quo, and then that ends up being forced onto everybody else. | ||
So it's rarely an option between tyranny and freedom with these left-wing social causes. | ||
In fact, with the left, that's never the choice. | ||
It's almost always, you're going to have reasonable restrictions, or you are actually going to be forced I used to wonder about that, how a girl could go outside with a thong bikini on and not get arrested for public indecency, because I could see her full butt. | ||
Which is naked almost, right? | ||
Yeah, you can't just put a piece of thread through your butt crack and pretend like you're not naked. | ||
I don't want to be with my father on a beach with girls and their butts hanging out. | ||
That makes me uncomfortable. | ||
Don't these people have any self-respect or don't they have any care for their family? | ||
There are nude beaches. | ||
I don't think kids are supposed to go to those. | ||
Then that's because, you know, your skin sunlight is really healthy for your skin. | ||
You have a backyard. | ||
Everybody's got some of a backyard. | ||
That would be ideal. | ||
City people don't. | ||
I live in the city and if I really need to do that, I can make it happen. | ||
I'm just saying, but I don't need to do that. | ||
By the water, it's really, really healthy, all that salt water. | ||
We're going to see a pendulum swing back in the other direction. | ||
Because it's gone too far. | ||
There's been tons of tolerance, there's been a ton of live and let live, and that's why | ||
at the beach people are wearing basically whatever they want. | ||
But now it's getting to the point where, look, I don't think most people to this day, I think | ||
most people still don't care that women are in bikinis at the beach. | ||
And that guys are wearing speedos or whatever, if they do. | ||
Most people still don't care. | ||
What happens is you get to the line where there are people in parades These two adult men, this is a viral video. | ||
There's also the video of the guy shoving his butt up for the child when the mom laughs. | ||
As soon as that happens, the dam breaks. | ||
The straw breaks the camel's back. | ||
And then regular people, regular liberals say, enough! | ||
This is getting out of hand. | ||
It's got to stop. | ||
Yeah, it's the sex acts that are too much. | ||
If you went to a beach and people were in a bikini and, you know, what you were saying, like a dude in a speedo, but they were pretending to get it on, like doggy stuff, you know, that would not fly. | ||
People, the cops would be like, you're under arrest for public indecency. | ||
You can't simulate sex acts in front of kids on the beach. | ||
At a pride parade you can. | ||
But apparently this is like a place in society where there's been a loophole. | ||
I think Tim's right, though. | ||
I'm on Instagram, and of course their algorithms favor the things that I like, but I have noticed really floral and feminine dresses coming back that are more modest in nature, long. | ||
They're selling, and they're selling off the racks for $300, and they're always sold out. | ||
There's tons of them, and I'm seeing more and more people talk about wanting to homestead. | ||
I think the pendulum is starting to swing, which is the only thing that's really giving me support. | ||
It is. | ||
I'd like to start this story off by giving a shout out to Joe Biden. | ||
Thank you, President Joe Biden. | ||
NBC News says White House bans trans activist for a topless photo at Pride event. | ||
It was a video. | ||
Rose Montoya, a trans model and activist, said she was living her truth and wasn't trying to be vulgar or profane. | ||
But in fact, that's exactly what this person was doing. | ||
Jumping up and down topless with two other trans individuals and exposing their bare chests. | ||
Now, you can make the argument that it's legal to do so in Washington, D.C. | ||
Sure, under the 14th Amendment, if men are allowed to go out without shirts on, then women are as well. | ||
But this is the White House. | ||
This is a formal event. | ||
This is an individual who showed up The White House said a transgender model would be banned from future events due to photos and videos that show her topless on the South Lawn during an LGBTQ Pride Month celebration on Saturday. | ||
This individual, just for clarification, is biologically male. | ||
Rose Montoya, a trans model and activist, was among hundreds invited by Biden. | ||
Montoya shared a video from the event on Instagram that features a clip of her standing in front of the White House, topless, covering her nipples with her hands. | ||
Right-wing media shared screenshots from Montoya's video, with commentators and media personalities calling her actions disrespectful. | ||
Well... | ||
A White House spokesperson said Tuesday that Montoya and the other people featured would be banned from future events organized there. | ||
This behavior is inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House. | ||
It is not reflective of the event we hosted to celebrate LGBTQI families or other hundreds of guests who were in attendance. | ||
The White House spokesperson said, individuals in the video will not be invited to future events. | ||
Now, Candace Owens has been critical of Biden for inviting these people, knowing full well what these people do. | ||
I can agree with that. | ||
However, I think we should be praising the Biden administration, Karine Jean-Pierre, and all of the Democrats in the White House right now for this. | ||
Why? | ||
This behavior that we're seeing is commonplace at Pride parades and Pride events. | ||
In fact, substantially worse things go on. | ||
Correct. | ||
If this was a pride event, and this is inappropriate and unacceptable and warranting a ban for more than one individual, and that's Joe Biden who said it? | ||
Well, that's wonderful. | ||
Two things. | ||
We want Joe Biden, Democrats in the establishment, to back off this stuff, to lose that fight. | ||
We want these people To quite literally say, Seamus, you were right the whole time. | ||
We're sorry, and now we agree with you. | ||
And that's exactly what Joe Biden is starting with this process. | ||
In doing so, the Democrats are now agreeing with us. | ||
We're winning that fight. | ||
Why am I going to complain about it? | ||
The most important thing is, in terms of how we address the conversation, the next time, to each and every one of you people out there listening, with your liberal aunt, Or or, you know, family member who is always telling you you're wrong. | ||
Now you only need say one thing. | ||
Look, I don't know about all that, but I agree with Joe Biden on this one. | ||
This stuff is inappropriate and is disrespectful. | ||
That's it. | ||
So now when they say, oh, you Trumpists, no, no, I'm with Joe Biden on this one. | ||
You know, Joe Biden came out, his administration saying this stuff shouldn't be happening. | ||
He's right. | ||
Come on, man. | ||
I'm Catholic. | ||
We don't believe in that. | ||
This is indecent. | ||
But it creates a tribal conundrum for many of these individuals. | ||
If their whole identity is just hating Trump, but now all of a sudden you, their supposed political enemy, is saying, no, Biden was right. | ||
What's their response going to be? | ||
Biden's wrong? | ||
Okay. | ||
Absolutely get them to start condemning Joe Biden. | ||
Yeah, I absolutely agree with you. | ||
I do think, though, it is also important to point out the hypocrisy of them. | ||
Like Candace said, you know who you're inviting. | ||
So yeah, you know that this is moral and indecent. | ||
You just admitted it, and yet you invited them anyway, knowing that they were likely to behave like they behave at all other Pride events. | ||
What's wrong with you? | ||
Let me show you these tweets, because I think there's actually a good exchange between Candace and myself. | ||
Candace Owen says, Rose Montoya is the name of the man who exposed his surgically created breasts to young children at the White House. | ||
The White House invited Rose knowing fully well that he advocates for the teaching of sex to young children. | ||
He advocates for this openly on his Instagram page. | ||
Now, I disagree with that sentiment, and I responded, you should be praising Biden, he actually condemned trans activists. | ||
And Candace responded, you're missing the point entirely. | ||
Biden is only condemning this act because his voters were outraged. | ||
He invited this individual to the White House knowing what this individual was | ||
and exactly how they behaved in public. | ||
His entire Instagram is dedicated to debauchery. | ||
I said, after realizing it was hurting him, he backtracked. | ||
Now is our PR response. | ||
Now you praise Biden in order to push the story and force him to keep condemning the behavior. | ||
Now we say, this LGBT pride stuff where they dance naked at parades is bad. | ||
I agree with Joe Biden. | ||
That's my point. | ||
By all means, I certainly understand what Candace is saying. | ||
The Biden administration, these individuals, know who they're inviting, what they do. | ||
But what you need to understand about many of these people is they're fair-weather politicians. | ||
If they see in public people saying it's good, they say, sure, fine, whatever. | ||
But then all of a sudden, they engage in the behavior and it goes bad. | ||
And they're getting a big backlash. | ||
If the only options you present towards the Biden administration, Democrats, liberals, or whatever, is always, no matter what you do, we're mad at you, then they'll just write you off. | ||
If you say, you know what? | ||
I disagree with you on politics. | ||
I think the Biden family is deeply corrupt, but in this one, thank you for doing the right thing and condemning this behavior. | ||
If this means they faced a backlash, if Joe Biden faced a backlash among his voters that was so severe he actually condemned this, that means we are winning and this kind of lewd behavior is now being condemned by the President! | ||
Like, that's culture war victory! | ||
Like, one of the best we've seen! | ||
Now you can go to each and every one of those liberal family members and friends and be like, look, even Joe Biden's calling this out. | ||
Will you now take a second to listen to me? | ||
I think it's victory. | ||
I think I say thanks Biden. | ||
I appreciate it. | ||
I really I really sincerely mean it. | ||
It was the right thing to do. | ||
I absolutely see it as a victory to after he denounced it or disavowed it. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
It's a it's a moral victory because anytime that they continue to like I think the big issue as to why this debate is happening is because people don't want this stuff around kids. | ||
from my kid's school. | ||
But it's just it was a pride event. | ||
This person went topless and Biden said this is wrong and disrespectful. | ||
And you know, he's absolutely correct about that is wrong and disrespectful. | ||
I think the big issue as to why this this debate is happening is because people don't | ||
want this stuff around kids. | ||
And that's it. | ||
When Bud Light thought thought they were winning, they absolutely sponsored these events. | ||
It hurt them. | ||
Target? | ||
It hurt them. | ||
Kohl's? | ||
It's hurting them. | ||
North Face? | ||
It's hurting them. | ||
All these companies are now facing this massive backlash. | ||
The White House? | ||
It's hurting them. | ||
All this massive cultural shift? | ||
It's like victories around the corner, man. | ||
I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, you know what I mean? | ||
Joe Biden's coming out being like, I guess you guys win. | ||
I'm like, that's right. | ||
We were right the whole time. | ||
I used to think that Puritans were so far behind the curve, but now I'm realizing in real time how society can become aberrant. | ||
I've never seen it in my life. | ||
I'm 44. | ||
I never saw like real Like, derogatory behavior take mainstream attention. | ||
It's always been like, yeah, blackout drunk, that's disgusting. | ||
Drug addicts, gross. | ||
Sex in public, disgusting. | ||
Like, I knew that stuff. | ||
But now, like, I see why people are Puritans in general. | ||
Like, you do need to protect people's minds. | ||
You can't just, just because something is real, it doesn't mean it's okay to see. | ||
I want to address some of what people are saying real quick. | ||
Sorry. | ||
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
We've got some super chats. | ||
One says, don't praise them. | ||
They only did it because of the uproar. | ||
Another person says, don't praise your enemies. | ||
You're not going to teach them anything. | ||
In any conflict, the end result is not the eradication of your enemy. | ||
In some instances, that's what they try to make happen, for sure. | ||
Genocide has existed throughout history. | ||
It's horrifying. | ||
But in most wars, it is the subjugation of your rival. | ||
Someone declares one another country, what do they do? | ||
They occupy that country and then use the people of that country towards their ends. | ||
It is not just like they go in there and say, now we will remove these people, like, certainly it's happened, but that's not typical. | ||
In terms of only doing it after Uproar, That's what we want to happen. | ||
Someone does something bad. | ||
We say, rabble, rabble, rabble. | ||
They say, okay, we're sorry. | ||
We say, thank you. | ||
And then we continue through. | ||
It's like, you've claimed the battlefield. | ||
They've surrendered and laid down their arms and said, you win. | ||
And we go, okay, now the battlefield is ours. | ||
Now we're going to dictate the terms. | ||
In terms of, you know, not praising your enemies, don't praise your enemies, you crush them. | ||
When we get to the point where all of these corporations are agreeing with us, in order to make them continue agreeing with us, we now must give them positive incentive. | ||
We said, what you're doing is bad. | ||
They said, screw you. | ||
We said, it's bad, we're not gonna buy your products. | ||
Now we stop buying their products. | ||
Now their market's tanking and they're panicking. | ||
If we don't buy their products, what will they do? | ||
They'll say, okay, we're gonna double down. | ||
Now's the opportunity to say, hey, wow, you know, these companies are backtracking. | ||
Give them an incentive to sell to you and they will shift even further in your direction. | ||
So I know to a lot of people it may seem counterintuitive because you're angry at what many of these corporations were doing, at what Biden has done and is doing, and it's not just about the culture war. | ||
But you've got a plan for how you actually win this and what your end goals are going to be. | ||
If we truly want these people to stop targeting kids and stop the loot and lascivious behavior in public and in schools, we have to utilize the statement from the president. | ||
We have to use it. | ||
It's a step in the right direction, but it also... So I see what you're saying. | ||
It's a step in the right direction, and we want to encourage, like, good behavior. | ||
Like with any children, you want to encourage good behavior. | ||
But it's not... it's not... it's only a piece of it. | ||
For the rest of it, like, they knew this guy promotes, you know, being degenerate in front of children, and they invited him. | ||
Like, where's the apology for that? | ||
Are you just apologizing because... person took his shirt off, right? | ||
Is that the only reason that the apology is there? | ||
Well, okay. | ||
Three people taking their shirt off in the White House. | ||
But where is the outrage and the apology for inviting these people that you knew were degenerate to begin with and advocated for things that most of the country disagrees? | ||
Where's that? | ||
I don't think you're going to get that. | ||
Yeah, not from the White House, not from a political power. | ||
They'll ban the enemy. | ||
That's why I'm saying it's a good start. | ||
It's a good start, but we have to get to the other... We can't declare victory just yet. | ||
I don't know if I agree. | ||
It's not about declaring victory, it's about there's two paths the Democrats can go down right now, and corporations and everyone. | ||
It is doubling down on their behaviors like Bud Light is currently doing, or it's saying, okay, we were wrong and going the other direction. | ||
The only way someone will change their life, their work, the only way that they'll change the thing they're fighting for is if there is a path of least resistance and a light at the end of the tunnel. | ||
If you create a roadblock in front of them no matter what they do, they will keep doing what they're doing. | ||
It's just... There's no other... It's just simple logic. | ||
You say to the Biden administration, I hate you and you're wrong. | ||
They're gonna be like, what was the point of apologizing? | ||
We got nothing for it. | ||
It made us look worse. | ||
Now everyone's mad at us. | ||
Just keep doing what you're doing and latch on to the fans you have. | ||
Yeah, really. | ||
If we come out and we say, no, you're doing a good job, they're going to be like, hey, we're winning over people by doing this. | ||
Let's keep doing more of it. | ||
We want them to try to win our approval. | ||
So we have to offer them more incentive just to keep up with the kid. | ||
But it's to me, that's like, we still have to we still have to keep pushing them further and further and further. | ||
Yeah, I would agree. | ||
I mean, I think we have to let people know what they're not getting. | ||
So, you're right that there's an apology here, but then there's also a question of, well, is he addressing the fact that he did invite this person who was promoting horrible stuff in the first place, right? | ||
I mean, there wasn't an apology for that. | ||
And you're right that we're probably not going to get one. | ||
I just think it's important for people to know that you haven't gotten that, right? | ||
They haven't made this right. | ||
They've pushed a little bit in the right direction, but it's There are a lot of bad people who get invited to the White House. | ||
The first question right now that we can address is the behavior at the White House. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And there may be someone who's done something horrendous and they got invited after the fact, and it certainly has happened with a lot of people, like Obama invited certain people. | ||
There's a lot of people we could name. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Oh, we can talk about the weather underground, for instance, and these people who have sordid pasts. | ||
And Trump invited Milo. | ||
I mean, there are questionable people that get invited who have done things. | ||
The question is, first and foremost, was it proper decorum for the White House? | ||
And the fact that they're saying no to this means we now have the opportunity to say, if it's not good for the White House, why is it good for the public streets? | ||
If he was upset that it was in front of kids here, why not be upset that it was in front of kids elsewhere? | ||
This is it right here, man. | ||
Now, when it comes to the schools, if someone says, why do you care so much about what's going on in these schools? | ||
And I'll be like, I just look, I agree with Biden on this one. | ||
They shouldn't be showing kids this stuff. | ||
This is so good for ads, though, for Republican ads. | ||
They should have the slogan. | ||
Remember how everybody was saying, bring back decency to the White House by having Biden come in and say, this is your decency and show the White House and like a background picture with the zipper marks and the With the fake boobs and say, this is what you voted for. | ||
This is decency brought back to the White House. | ||
And what is Biden going to say? | ||
And what is Biden going to say? | ||
I already said I was sorry, man. | ||
You can't run on that. | ||
But no, but he will say this. | ||
And then the response will be, so did you not vet the individuals or did you know and regret it after the fact? | ||
But that is true. | ||
I think conservatives are going to... This is it for 2024. | ||
No question. | ||
They are going to run these ads in suburban districts targeting women relentlessly. | ||
And it will work. | ||
It's going to be suburban moms who are going to be like, I am outraged that this happened. | ||
This is not decency. | ||
In fact, it's worse than Trump. | ||
They said Trump was the lewd old man, and he was potty-mouthed, but it was Biden who brought the people to come in and take their shirts off and jiggle them in front of a camera. | ||
Well, and that's the thing people miss about Biden, intentionally so, in the media, is it's not like we went from Trump, who is abrasive and angry and mean to people, to Biden, who's nice and sweet. | ||
We just got someone who is equally, if not more abrasive and mean, but way less funny. | ||
Right? | ||
Biden did not bring decency to the White House, he's just very creepy, he's very gross, and he's also very mean. | ||
There was nothing decent or adult about him in his entire career. | ||
Yeah, I don't think so either. | ||
I do want to point out real quick, Trump was supposed to speak at 8.15, they pushed to 8.30, they pushed to 8.45. | ||
You're making him wait, D! | ||
Well, you know, he's coming back and he's doing his thing, so we'll get to it when we get to it. | ||
I feel like that's typical Trump. | ||
I can't remember the last time he was on time for anything, I think once. | ||
But let me... I think I closed the article. | ||
Let me try and pull this back up. | ||
This is important. | ||
So let's talk about the next big story here, my friends. | ||
I'm going to start right away with this article from the New Republic that we did cover, but this is important context. | ||
When I scroll down, I want to see if they kept their horrifying and ridiculous statement on right-wing rage. | ||
Read this. | ||
It says, It would be understandable for Starbucks to suddenly grow wary of overt pride displays, considering how bad right-wing rage has become. | ||
Target stores in five different states received bomb threats over the weekend and had to be evacuated. | ||
Liars. | ||
But there had been no such fury directed at Starbucks. | ||
Now hold on there a minute. | ||
The New Republic is outright lying. | ||
The bomb threats came from left-wingers who were upset that Target pulled their Pride merchandise. | ||
We have this story from, I believe, Daily Wire first. | ||
Multiple Target stores across the U.S. | ||
hit with bomb threats for, quote, betraying the LGBTQ plus community, according to a report. | ||
And if you don't trust the Daily Wire, let me bring up the Washington Post, who reports the exact same thing. | ||
News outlets in Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York received the same threatening email Saturday, according to South Burlington Police Chief Sean Burke. | ||
The message, which accused Target of betraying the LGBTQ community, named a store in South Burlington, Vermont, and ones in Plattsburgh, New York, and in Keene and West Lebanon, New Hampshire. | ||
For the New Republic to call that right-wing rage, this is what the left does. | ||
They're lying to you. | ||
Well, they didn't technically lie. | ||
No, they did. | ||
Because it's a different sentence. | ||
They say the first sentence is considering how the right-wing rage had become end of thought, new thought, target stores in a different location, retreat, receive bomb threats. | ||
unidentified
|
Anne. | |
Yes, that's lying. | ||
They are insinuating, but they're not technically lying. | ||
I think technically you have to do a different paragraph if you actually want to say this is an unrelated, different thought. | ||
unidentified
|
So it's not referencing the rage in the second sentence. | |
It is, Ian. | ||
I encourage you to go back to fifth grade grammar and study... Oh, I'm a grammar Nazi, my man. | ||
So let's talk about paragraph structure and what the intent of a paragraph is and why a paragraph contains multiple sentences, right? | ||
If your first sentence lays out the premise, the second sentence is a part of the premise of the first sentence of your paragraph. | ||
It's adding on to why they might be where. | ||
So they are quite literally calling the bomb threats right-wing rage. | ||
No, they're not literally doing that. | ||
They literally are, yes. | ||
You could argue it's an insinuation. | ||
It's not. | ||
What else is a normal person going to get out of that, Ian? | ||
Let's be real. | ||
What is the intent there? | ||
The intent is to make you think that. | ||
Yeah, they're going to be manipulated and think it is. | ||
Right, so that's their intent. | ||
So if that is their intent, then they're lying. | ||
It's not a lie, though. | ||
It's a different kind of manipulation than lying. | ||
It is a lie. | ||
False insinuation? | ||
I'm not sure. | ||
It's all semantic. | ||
So this sentence, target stores in five different states have seen bomb threats over the weekend and had to be evacuated. | ||
That sentence, isolated in and of itself, is a fact statement. | ||
If you add a sentence before it, which is an opinion, changing the context of the later information, your intention is to present misinformation to individuals. | ||
Your intention is to present False information to a person so they believe false things. | ||
That's as simply as it can be put. | ||
They are lying. | ||
And so this is what really happened. | ||
What really happened is, this has been ongoing. | ||
And the attacks are rather sophisticated. | ||
At first, when we got the news, so I think I was in, we were hanging out. | ||
It was Memorial Day weekend. | ||
We were hanging out in Charleston, West Virginia. | ||
I get a text asking me if this is true. | ||
CBS posted an email that was to us. | ||
We had never received that email. | ||
We checked, never received it. | ||
So how did someone else get an email that said two members at TimCast? | ||
We have no idea. | ||
But we did see, we did get something not the same, but similar. | ||
And so we forwarded it to our security company. | ||
I believe they're having law enforcement take care of it. | ||
I don't know, you know, what else is going on beyond that. | ||
But at first I said, this seems like a hoax. | ||
Like someone's trying to smear the left. | ||
Like a false flag to make them seem violent or whatever. | ||
Upon further investigation and further reading, my conclusion was likely, that's a bit too, it's a bit too assumptive. | ||
It may seem like it's possible, but it's speculative. | ||
In the absence of evidence, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions tends to be correct. | ||
Ergo, it's likely just a left-winger. | ||
We know their MO has been violence and terror. | ||
We know they've used firebombs. | ||
You have the song, the famous song, Baby I'm an Anarchist, where they say it's time to throw bricks through Starbucks. | ||
When it came time to throw a brick through a Starbucks window, you left me all alone, referring to liberals. | ||
We know that their MO has always been violence and political terror to get what they want. | ||
Target was the only major corporation to pull back on pride. | ||
Bud Light doubled down. | ||
Kohl said nothing, North Face said nothing, Nike said nothing. | ||
Target pulls the products back, instantly gets slammed with threats from someone claiming to be from the left. | ||
I think the simple solution here is the correct one. | ||
The left is pissed that this company backed down, and so they're resorting to their typical tactic. | ||
Unfortunately, what we learned from 2020 is that Target is actually willing to risk or even sustain real damage to their locations in order to not say things that they think will upset the market. | ||
Now, unfortunately, if one of these lunatics actually does set a bomb off or commit some other terroristic act of violence, people could get hurt, people could die. | ||
However, that's not on Target, that's on whatever lunatic does this. | ||
I do want to point out the title of the Washington Post article. | ||
Target stores see more bomb threats over Pride merchandise. | ||
Wrong. That's wrong. It's over them removing Pride merchandise. | ||
But you see how they're lying. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Over Pride merchandise. | ||
It's just such a manipulative title. | ||
That is an outright lie. | ||
They did not see bomb threats over Pride merchandise. | ||
They didn't. | ||
It's over the concept of it. | ||
Exactly. | ||
They did not get bomb threats for the Pride merchandise. | ||
They got bomb threats for removing the Pride merchandise. | ||
For lack of Pride merchandise. | ||
The exact opposite, yeah. | ||
It should say over lack of Pride merchandise. | ||
Or removing Pride merchandise. | ||
And get this. | ||
The writer of this article waits until around 60-70% through the story before mentioning that it was actually LGBTQ people who are claiming to have done it. | ||
This is how the media lies. | ||
It is a lie. | ||
That headline is factually false. | ||
And how many people are going to see that headline and share it and say, This is why we're not safe in this country. | ||
The right-wing is coming after us. | ||
We know that they do this all the time, though. | ||
They do this with absolutely everything. | ||
They make up these fake things that happen and then they say, oh, this community, they're the most at risk from right-wing extremism. | ||
If it was, if this really happened and this was a Republican or a right-wing person, you would 100,000 percent, you would know the person's name. | ||
They would be arrested tomorrow. | ||
We still don't know who the Gen 6 bombers are, right? | ||
But you would know who called in that bomb threat if it was a right-wing person that was doing that to Target. | ||
You would 100% know. | ||
Every time. | ||
It would probably have the word terrorism in the title. | ||
And not only that, every other brand on the planet would be saying, we stand in solidarity with Target, or there would be some kind of nationwide movement to acknowledge this and have an open dialogue, which is another way of saying a lecture. | ||
from the LGBT community about how special and good they are and how bad and nasty we are for not accepting their lifestyle choices. | ||
Yep. | ||
Well, it looks legit to me that the actual threat was from who they say they were. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Could be a false flag. | ||
If someone's smart enough, and intelligence isn't always an indication of good and evil, like an evil person can be intelligent, but if some evil intelligent person wanted to create a false flag and make it look like the LGBT community was striking out because their materials were removed, well, nice job. | ||
You succeeded. | ||
But it really feels like anger. | ||
Unhinged people lash out. | ||
That's what they do. | ||
I mean, I don't know what else to say. | ||
I just chanted a little Jordan Peterson, what were you saying? | ||
It's like, man, if that's what you're doing, you better cut it! | ||
Good for you, you accomplished it! | ||
If you're doing that, then cut it out, man! | ||
It's not good! | ||
If it is not right, do not do it. | ||
If it is not true, do not say it. | ||
Amen? | ||
But this is where we're at. | ||
But is that true? | ||
It's true enough, and it's fascinating. | ||
True enough Shabbat oppression? | ||
But look, the article from the New Republic, this was about Starbucks backtracking. | ||
If we start seeing Starbucks get similar treatment, we'll know exactly what's going on. | ||
Far-left extremists, this is their MO. | ||
This is what they do. | ||
I think that the fervor has petered out on this now. | ||
This Pride Month, it lasted a couple weeks. | ||
People know they don't need to push it so hard. | ||
Like, the real people that care about the health and safety of people in different Marginalized communities don't want to put their marginalized community out front and center because it just it gets stones thrown. | ||
You don't want that So I think that any kind of it's the activists that have been trying to create some sort of political movement that are getting their metaphorical behinds whooped and getting kicked out of the White House banned from the White House like you don't need to It's one thing to be accepted. | ||
It's another thing to try and change society to fit your worldview. | ||
That's not where we're going. | ||
I feel like you're giving people a lot of credit because most of the people that I know, with the exception of a few, they don't just want to be accepted and tolerated. | ||
They want to be celebrated. | ||
They want to have a leg up over the general population. | ||
They want more benefits. | ||
They feel like they've been entitled to it. | ||
I heard somebody say on my Twitter the other day, This flag represents all the people who died to sacrifice so that we could fly it. | ||
Who died? | ||
Who was out there dying? | ||
We would have known their name just like George Floyd, right? | ||
We would have known every detail about them if they actually died for the LGBT flag. | ||
Stop, right? | ||
But the masses, they are sick and indoctrinated, and they believe this stuff. | ||
This isn't just activists. | ||
This is crazy people Talking to each other with a reinforcement mechanism going over and over and over again. | ||
I used to think that it was like puppets. | ||
It's not. | ||
It's sick people saying, oh, I want an easy two or I want some benefit of being some victim. | ||
And they live in some echo chamber that keeps growing because there's obviously benefits about being a victim. | ||
And so that's what's happening. | ||
It's not like these activists pulling strings. | ||
They're just capitalizing off of the psychosis of the masses. | ||
But I think it's about the critical mass in this country. | ||
Most people didn't care and refused to engage. | ||
So what happens? | ||
Anybody who wants to run amok, runs amok. | ||
These big corporations, yes ESG plays a role, and I've been saying this for a while, it's not just that, it's that they think it makes sense. | ||
It makes money for them. | ||
So let's consider this for Starbucks. | ||
How does it come to the point where they're like, take this stuff down? | ||
Simple. | ||
There was probably a marketing meeting where they were like, what's going on with this Bud Light thing? | ||
This is kind of worrying. | ||
And they said, yeah, there's a lot of people who are angry over the Pride stuff, and so they're boycotting Bud Light sales are down 30%, Target sales are down, Target's market cap and Anheuser's market cap are going down. | ||
These other companies are seeing it too. | ||
And then Starbucks, some executive goes, okay, well, are we doing this? | ||
And they said, yes, we do have a Pride Month display. | ||
And they go, okay, why? | ||
And they're like, well, I mean, it was the popular thing to do. | ||
I mean, everybody did it, we were just participating. | ||
And he probably said, okay, how much money do we stand to make by marketing to this group of people? | ||
And they were like, well, to be honest, the average person's gonna shop at Starbucks no matter what if we do or don't celebrate this. | ||
And they went, okay, well, how much money do we lose if we put these flags up? | ||
Well, Bud Light took a 30% hit. | ||
Take them down! | ||
There's no benefit anymore. | ||
When no one cared, there was no risk. | ||
And they said, eh, maybe we'll bump our sales by 4%. | ||
Now that the risk is 30 plus percent, they're saying there's no reward. | ||
But they also open themselves up to legal liability, too. | ||
You have a fiduciary responsibility to your shareholders, and if you're doing things that you know will purposely drive down your stock, you're liable, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So it's their job to make money for their shareholders. | ||
If they see this stuff going on with Bud Light and Target, they have a responsibility to stop it, because if not, they're not protecting their shareholders. | ||
Well, and I think one thing a lot of these organizations, a lot of these companies are going to start to realize, if they haven't already, it's that the people who they might offend, in terms of their customer base, the people who they might drive away, Are people who are already shopping there in violation of their principles, right? | ||
So if you're somebody who's on the far left to the point where you buy into this gender ideology, there's a pretty strong overlap between you and people who say things like, there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, or I hate big corporations, and I think that the means of production need to be equitably distributed across everyone who works within a particular sector, right? | ||
So my point is, people who are on the far left who are patronizing corporate america are already purchasing in violation of their principles so if they get offended by you not celebrating pride month the chances that they're going to suddenly decide to inconvenience themselves in the name of their principles is very low because they've never done it before. | ||
There's a really strong overlap for some reason between socialists Communists and support for massive multinational capitalist corporations. | ||
Yeah, they're using them to smash up the American Republic, or attempt to smash up the American Republic. | ||
I think they're just hypocrites who have no idea what they're talking about, and it's more like a chaotic and destructive force with no real plans or aims, just the exertion of power. | ||
Whatever's anti-what-I-want-destroyed, that's the mentality. | ||
I think something you might be missing, or getting slightly wrong, is that No, Ian, you can't tell me why I'm wrong. | ||
Trump's here. | ||
You can't tell me why I'm wrong. | ||
Come on, come on, come on. | ||
Trump is now stepping up. | ||
Ex-president. | ||
Gotcha. | ||
I was gonna make a good point, too. | ||
unidentified
|
He's got time. | |
He's waiting for me. | ||
Not all gay people are communists, basically what I'm gonna say. | ||
Of course not. | ||

We have Donald Trump stepping up to the podium. | |
Look at that tan. | ||

Look at all those phones. | |
You can see Trump in various angles. | ||
Look at this one. | ||
I feel so bad for him. | ||
For Trump? | ||
I do. | ||
I feel awful for him. | ||
It hurts my heart looking at him. | ||
Well, it's his biggest crime to help America and they're torturing him, they're killing him. | ||
Disgusting. | ||
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
DJ Trump. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
I gotta make that. | ||
You have to catch the hook in it. | ||
unidentified
|
Look at this guy up front dancing. | |
I love him. | ||
He's a half an hour late, but he's still just standing there not talking. | ||
Jamming out. | ||
If I go to the bathroom, you think he'll still be standing there when I get there? | ||
No, here we go. | ||
The music's coming down. | ||
He's gonna make so much money tonight. | ||
I already got two texts. | ||
I should read them to you. | ||
Oh, for fundraising? | ||
Yeah, they're great. | ||
unidentified
|
Let me see. | |
Did I get any? | ||
This is a collection agency. | ||
Oh, you guys subscribe to his fundraising later. | ||
Never mind. | ||
Lisa, during these dark hours, I hope my message reminds you that we are unbreakable. | ||
Watch. | ||
And so then there's a video, and then the fundraising thing. | ||
unidentified
|
Alright Trump, I love you, but I gotta go to the bathroom, man. | |
See you in a minute. | ||
He's just standing there waiting, watching you while the song plays. | ||
Waiting for you to come back. | ||
What if Trump goes into the microphone and goes, I'll begin talking in just a minute, but Ian's gotta come back! | ||
We're waiting for Ian! | ||
unidentified
|
Waiting for Ian! | |
People are going to be like, what? | ||
You need to get him on. | ||
I think you could do it. | ||
Yeah, we have to go to him. | ||
So what? | ||
unidentified
|
Go. | |
I know. | ||
Right. | ||
So we've been like talking with many of the people in the Trump camp and they're just like, you got to. | ||
All right. | ||
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
Thank you. | ||
It's a great honor to have you here. | ||
And today, we witness the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country. | ||
Very sad thing to watch. | ||
A corrupt sitting president had his top political opponent arrested on fake and fabricated charges, of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty, right in the middle of a presidential election in which he is losing very badly. | ||
I'm gonna try this other audio. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Just got better. | ||
There we go, was that us? | ||
Oh, just got better. | ||
More importantly, it's a political persecution like something straight out of a fascist or | ||
communist nation. | ||
This day will go down in infamy and Joe Biden will forever be remembered as not only the | ||
most corrupt president in the history of our country, but perhaps even more importantly, | ||
the president who, together with a band of his closest thugs, misfits and Marxists, tried | ||
to destroy American democracy. | ||
unidentified
|
Nature! Nature! Nature! | |
But they will fail and we will win bigger and better than ever before. | ||
Charging a former president of the United States under the Espionage Act of 1917. | ||
It wasn't meant for this. | ||
An act for a crime so heinous that only the death penalty would do, and threatening me with 400 years in prison for possessing my own presidential papers, which just about every other president has done, is one of the most outrageous and vicious legal theories ever put forward in an American court of law. | ||
The Espionage Act has been used to go after traitors and spies. | ||
It has nothing to do with a former president legally keeping his own documents. | ||
As president, the law that applies to this case is not the Espionage Act, but very simply the Presidential Records Act, which is not even mentioned in this ridiculous 44-page indictment. | ||
Under the Presidential Records Act, which is civil, not criminal, I had every right to have these documents. | ||
The crucial legal precedent is laid out in the most important case ever on this subject, known as the Clinton Socks Case. | ||
You know what that means? | ||
After leaving the White House, Bill Clinton kept 79 audio tapes in his sock drawer. | ||
They included discussions of U.S. | ||
military involvement in Haiti, discussions of U.S. | ||
foreign policy, both defense and offense against Cuba, recordings of President Clinton's conversations with all of the many foreign leaders at the time. | ||
Think of that. | ||
Sensitive facts about trade negotiations taken from presidential briefings, discussions with the Secretary of State about conflict in Bosnia, and much, much more. | ||
Very big stuff. | ||
Not only was Bill Clinton never even considered for criminal prosecution based on the tapes he took, but when he was sued for them, he won the case. | ||
Judge Amy Berman Jackson's decision states, under the statutory scheme established by the Presidential Records Act, the decision to segregate personal materials from presidential records is made by the president, during the president's term, and in the president's sole discretion. | ||
You're surprised to hear that, aren't you? | ||
Any normal administration, even an opposing one, would consider that to be the end, but not the corrupt Biden administration. | ||
The SOX decision, as it's known, also states, quote, the National Archives and Records Administration, or NARA, does not have the authority to designate material as presidential records. | ||
I don't have the authority. | ||
NARA does not have the tapes in question, and NARA lacks any right, duty, or means to seize control of them. | ||
This is law. | ||
The President enjoys unconstrained authority to make decisions regarding the disposal of documents. | ||
That's unconstrained to make that decision. | ||
Neither the Archivist nor Congress has the authority to veto the President's decision. | ||
The Presidential Records Act does not confer any mandatory or even discretionary authority on the Archivist to classify records. | ||
Under the statute, this responsibility is left solely to the President of the United States. | ||
Think of that. | ||
That's the decision. | ||
unidentified
|
Think of that. | |
No, just think of that. | ||
In other words, whatever documents the President decides to take with him, he has the right to do so. | ||
It's an absolute right. | ||
This is the law. | ||
And that is something that people have now seen, and it couldn't be more clear. | ||
They ought to drop this case immediately because they're destroying the country. | ||
And this is why no other president, even those who kept far more documents than I, has ever been even investigated, let alone charged with a crime. | ||
Because the sham indictment put forward by the Biden administration included staged photographs of boxes at Mar-a-Lago, many people have asked me why I had these boxes. | ||
Why did you want them? | ||
The answer, in addition to having every right under the Presidential Records Act, is that these boxes were containing all types of personal belongings. | ||
Many, many things. | ||
unidentified
|
Shirts and shoes and everything. | |
As can be seen in the picture, where someone, not me, I wonder who it might have been, dumped one of the very neatly arranged boxes all over the floor. | ||
They were full of newspapers, press clippings, thousands of pictures, thousands and thousands of White House pictures. | ||
The White House photographers, some are with us today. | ||
They took so many pictures, and we saved all of them, and they were in those boxes. | ||
Clothing, memorabilia, and much, much more. | ||
I hadn't had a chance to go through all the boxes. | ||
It's a long, tedious job. | ||
It takes a long time, which I was prepared to do. | ||
But I have a very busy life. | ||
I've had a very busy life. | ||
They make it more busy because you're always fighting. | ||
And under the SOX decision, there seemed to be no rush. | ||
I wasn't in a rush because that decision was law. | ||
The other picture that was so vile, you remember that one? | ||
It was angry and corrupt. | ||
It was the photo staged by the FBI. | ||
And those that raided Mar-a-Lago, they were putting documents all over the floor. | ||
Remember that famous picture? | ||
All over. | ||
It said, confidential. | ||
It said, presidential. | ||
It said all sorts of things. | ||
And it was supposed to be there like it was that way when they raided. | ||
It wasn't that way. | ||
They put them there, took the picture, and released it illegally to the press. | ||
They took my medical records, my passport, my birth certificate, and apologized. | ||
They even brought a safecracker. | ||
This is a professional safecracker they brought into Mar-a-Lago. | ||
And they broke into my safe. | ||
And you know what they found? | ||
Nothing. | ||
There was nothing there. | ||
Nothing there. | ||
Zero. | ||
According to the Presidential Records Act, which was a big deal, I was supposed to negotiate with NARA, which is exactly what I was doing until Mar-a-Lago was raided by gun-toting FBI agents. | ||
I have security tapes of it. | ||
I gave them security tapes of everything in a flagrant violation of the Fourth Amendment | ||
of the Constitution, which protects the right against unreasonable search and seizure. | ||
And Sebastian, you covered very well, I must say. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Very well. | ||
I'm not the one who thinks I'm above the law. | ||
I'm the one that followed the law. | ||
I'm the only one. | ||
It's Joe Biden and his corrupt Department of Injustice who think they are above the law. | ||
Never before have the two standards of justice in our country been more starkly revealed. | ||
Joe Biden had troves of classified documents from his time as Vice President and even as a senator, which was completely and totally illegal. | ||
In fact, other senators heard about it. | ||
Dick Durbin heard about it. | ||
You have to see his response. | ||
There's no way that's totally illegal. | ||
Took him as a senator out of a skiff. | ||
They were shocked when they found out. | ||
They actually thought it was impossible to do. | ||
Biden sent 1,850 boxes To the University of Delaware, making the search very, very difficult for anybody. | ||
And he refuses to give them up, and he refuses to let people even look at them. | ||
And then they say how he's behaving so nicely. | ||
Many of Biden's classified documents were in Chinatown, D.C. | ||
Chinatown. | ||
Which is shocking, considering his family received so much money from China. | ||
I wonder how many times the Friends of ours from China reviewed those documents. | ||
Chinatown, D.C. | ||
Others were unsecured at his so-called Penn-Biden Center in Washington, which paid Biden approximately $1 million a year. | ||
The money supposedly coming from China and still other classified documents was strewn all over his garage floor, where his now-famous Corvette is stored. | ||
He's so proud of that car. | ||
There was no security, and the door was left open most of the time. | ||
It was open. | ||
All of those classified documents, all of those documents, strewn all over the floor, piled up like junk. | ||
Unlike me, who had absolute declassification authority as President, Joe Biden, as Vice President, had no authority to declassify and no right to possess the documents. | ||
He had no right. | ||
Instead of falling under the Presidential Records Act, Biden's actions fell under a much stricter Federal Records Act, which has very, very tough criminal penalties. | ||
Yet nothing happens to Crooked Joe. | ||
Nothing happened. | ||
Have you heard anything about the big search for his documents? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
Only me. | ||
Most and famously of all, Hillary Clinton set up an illegal private server in her basement. | ||
You never heard this story. | ||
She had the deliberate intention of violating public information laws so she could hide her pay-for-play scandals at the Clinton Foundation or whatever. | ||
Hillary stored vast quantities of classified and sensitive information on her illicit server. | ||
Some of it happened to leak. | ||
It leaked into Anthony Weiner's computer. | ||
Remember Anthony Weiner? | ||
Into his computer. | ||
You don't want to be on his computer. | ||
It was illegal. | ||
Because thankfully, she was never president. | ||
She didn't have the powers to declassify. | ||
This is true. | ||
And her staff smashed phones with hammers. | ||
She didn't have the powers to declassify. | ||
It's a big difference. | ||
And neither did Joe. | ||
You know, Joe didn't have your mind? | ||
Have a drink. | ||
The fact that hers was electronic made it worse because it was susceptible to so many more people having access to it. | ||
Thank you, happy birthday, happy birthday, great birthday. | ||
unidentified
|
His birthday's tomorrow. | |
He's gonna DJ. | ||
Nice birthday, isn't it? | ||
unidentified
|
65 degrees in Bedminster, England. | |
It's tomorrow. | ||
unidentified
|
His birthday's tomorrow? | |
Flag day. | ||
unidentified
|
It's my brother's birthday, that's how I know, but yeah. | |
Flag day, June 14th. | ||
We should, we should have cake. | ||
unidentified
|
We should. | |
A bit of Trump cake. | ||
Wonderful birthday. | ||
My mom gave that one to my brother. | ||
They were saying happy birthday I was with. | ||
It said happy birthday President Trump. | ||
I was with Eric and Laura, the kids. | ||
Happy birthday, Grandpa! | ||
Happy — and I said, oh, great. | ||
I just got charged with — they want 400 years, approximately, if you add them all up. | ||
A fake — a fake 400 years. | ||
Oh, thank you, darling. | ||
That's so nice. | ||
unidentified
|
Wonderful birthday. | |
We're going to make it into the greatest birthday of all. | ||
unidentified
|
We'll make it into the greatest birthday of all. | |
When caught, Hillary then deleted And acid-washed. | ||
Nobody does that because of the expense, but it's pretty conclusive. | ||
Isn't it a bleach pit? | ||
33,000 emails in defiance of a congressional subpoena already launched. | ||
The subpoena was there, and she decided to delete, acid-wash, and then smash and destroy her cell phones with a hammer. | ||
And then they say I participated in obstruction? | ||
No, think of it. | ||
That's called obstruction. | ||
There's never been obstruction as grave as that. | ||
She did this in the face of everything, and yet nobody did anything about it. | ||
The FBI and the DOJ protected her, did not issue subpoenas, did not use a grand jury, did not execute search warrants, and then the corrupt head of the FBI, James Comey, declared no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case. | ||
Can you believe it? | ||
And that was just one of many items. | ||
Hillary Clinton broke the law, and she didn't get indicted. | ||
Joe Biden broke the law, and in many other ways, we're finding out. | ||
And so far, has not gotten indicted. | ||
I did everything right, and they indicted me! | ||
But you know, we're serving as a great example. | ||
The case of Bill Clinton's National Security Advisor. | ||
Remember that? | ||
Sandy Berger. | ||
He was caught stealing classified documents from the National Archives, very big ones, very important ones, by stuffing them in his pants. | ||
That's pretty. | ||
And putting them also in his socks. | ||
And he destroyed them and cut the tape with scissors. | ||
Cut them all up. | ||
What Berger did was highly illegal, but he was given Nothing. | ||
No jail time. | ||
Nothing. | ||
Nothing happened. | ||
There are countless other examples. | ||
Bill Clinton, who I happen to like hard to believe, right? | ||
Before I did this, I was actually quite friendly with him. | ||
Nice guy. | ||
They should have used him a little bit more as an advisor on the 2016 election. | ||
He said, you know, you better get to Wisconsin. | ||
You're going to lose. | ||
No, we're not. | ||
You better get to Michigan. | ||
You're going to lose. | ||
No, we're not. | ||
They did. | ||
Bill Clinton lost the nuclear codes and absolutely nothing was done about it. | ||
He lost the nuclear codes? | ||
The George W. Bush White House lost 22 million emails. | ||
A record. | ||
NARA cannot assure complete transfer of any of the Bush records. | ||
A document shredding truck was spotted on the way to Dick Cheney's house. | ||
Can you imagine? | ||
Hillary Clinton took hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of furniture, china, flatware, rugs, and more from the White House, and she wasn't prosecuted. | ||
How about that one? | ||
unidentified
|
She took the furniture and the china. | |
How about if Trump did that? | ||
unidentified
|
You think Trump would have a little problem? | |
The horrific violations of my rights by crooked Joe Biden's weaponized Department of Injustice are unthinkable. | ||
It's unthinkable what's happened. | ||
So bad for our country. | ||
Democrats all, they lawlessly pierced my attorney-client privilege with lawyers. | ||
What they did to lawyers, what they have done to our lawyers, our lawyers, all of our lawyers, they've done things that were absolutely horrible and unthinkable. | ||
The leaking has been unbelievable and highly illegal. | ||
They leak. | ||
We've learned more about From the Washington Post, New York Times, about the DOJ's boxes hoax. | ||
It's a boxes hoax. | ||
Then from prosecutors themselves. | ||
We want to read about it. | ||
You pick up the Washington Post, which is not doing well, or you pick up the New York Times. | ||
But they'll do better now because of these things. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, this is the only way they survive, but they'll end up dying. | |
But it's not supposed to be that way. | ||
We don't want to learn from the times. | ||
We don't want to learn from leaks. | ||
We want to learn from the people we're supposed to learn from. | ||
It's like a leaking sieve in Washington. | ||
But we learn nothing about the Biden bribery scheme or special counsel Robert Herr's investigation. | ||
Robert Herr is doing the Biden investigation. | ||
He's a very respected, very nice person. | ||
Very nice person. | ||
Mine's not such a nice person. | ||
Mine's a deranged lunatic, which are many times the magnitude of ours in both number and severity. | ||
That's the prosecutor that they gave. | ||
He has found nothing. | ||
He totally exonerated Mike Pence. | ||
I'm happy about that. | ||
Mike did nothing wrong, but he happened to have classified documents in his house. | ||
But they exonerated him and Biden is a different story. | ||
I mean, so much. | ||
You have to really think about what I said as a senator. | ||
He took all of those documents. | ||
It's unprecedented. | ||
The prosecutor in the case, I will call it our case, is a thug. | ||
I've named him Deranged Jack Smith. | ||
I've named him. | ||
I wonder what his name used to be. | ||
Jack Smith. | ||
It sounds so innocent, doesn't it? | ||
Jack Smith. | ||
What's his name? | ||
Jack Smith. | ||
He's a very nice man. | ||
He's a behind-the-scenes guy, but his record is absolutely atrocious. | ||
He does political hit jobs. | ||
He's been known to viciously arrest a certain governor. | ||
You know the governor? | ||
Bob McDonald of Virginia, and absolutely ruined his life and the life of his family. | ||
All these wonderful family members, I knew them. | ||
Only to have the case overturned 8-0 by the Supreme Court. | ||
He destroyed that man, and he destroyed that family. | ||
And by the way, I will tell you, I'm here, and I love you all, and we can take it. | ||
unidentified
|
It seems a little sad. | |
But what these thugs, what these thugs have done to my family is a disgrace. | ||
I will tell you that I say it to all of the fake news. | ||
unidentified
|
This is a lot of impact. | |
What they did to my family and that young man right there, he's answered more subpoenas | ||
than any human being in the history of the world. | ||
And you know what? | ||
They have nothing after all of those subpoenas. | ||
unidentified
|
It's wild. | |
Literally thousands of them. | ||
Congress, fake councils, Mueller report, all of this. | ||
All he did is answer subpoenas all the time. | ||
At least he's become very experienced at that. | ||
Congratulations. | ||
But Eric is fantastic, and what he and Don, Ivanka, and the whole group, that's what they've gone through, and these are serious people. | ||
These are serious people. | ||
But what he's done to my family, what they have done to my family is horrible. | ||
He also tried to railroad John Edwards on a completely bogus legal theory that didn't hold up in court. | ||
It's no wonder this raging lunatic was shipped off to The Hague to prosecute war criminals using globalist tribunals, not beholden to the Constitution or the rule of law. | ||
Two things Jack Smith clearly disdains. | ||
You take a look at this guy. | ||
He looks like a thug. | ||
But then I watched him make a speech the other day and he was trembling because it wasn't his territory. | ||
He feels much safer in the inner sanctums of the Department of Injustice, where he can be in his room and scream at people. | ||
He's a raging and uncontrolled Trump hater, as is his wife, who also happened to be the producer of that Michelle Obama puff piece. | ||
Total puff piece. | ||
This is the guy I've got. | ||
Don't forget this persecution is being done by the same weaponized agencies that for seven years have been running illegal psychological warfare campaigns against the American people, much as if they were trying to destabilize a foreign country. | ||
From the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, to the no collusion Mueller witch hunt, to impeachment hoax number one, impeachment hoax number two, the 51 lying intelligence offers. | ||
How about them? | ||
They said it's Russia disinformation and they knew it wasn't. | ||
Which made about, according to some of the great pollsters that are right here, made from anywhere from a 10 to 17 point difference and yet we still got more votes than any sitting president in history in the second election. | ||
unidentified
|
He deserves a get out of jail free card for the whole Russia thing. | |
We actually did much better in the second election than we did in the first election. | ||
Seriously. | ||
The fake dossier, paid for by the Democrats. | ||
How about the fake dossier? | ||
Remember that one? | ||
You think that was easy to go home and say, hello darling, how are you, when they read about that? | ||
Wasn't easy at all. | ||
Spying on my campaign, we caught them spying on my campaign. | ||
The FBI, Twitter files, and so much more. | ||
It's all been a battle of disinformation, one thing after the other. | ||
And all to protect the radical left misfits. | ||
It's also no coincidence that these charges against me came down the very same day evidence revealed Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe from Ukraine. | ||
Took a $5 million bribe. | ||
But the FBI and the Justice Department don't even want to talk about it. | ||
I think Joe and Hunter both. | ||
They showed something on television tonight. | ||
It had zero time on the three major networks. | ||
unidentified
|
Zero. | |
No, no, no, no, no. | ||
Joe and Hunter both got bribed. | ||
Separately. | ||
unidentified
|
Almost all of them. | |
Allegedly. | ||
I think I had 351 minutes, they had no minutes. | ||
Okay? | ||
I think a lot of people are going to vote. | ||
Yeah, I think a lot of people are going to vote. | ||
I will tell you, I just left Miami, and I've never seen love in the streets like that. | ||
I've never seen it. | ||
We've seen a lot of love. | ||
I've never seen love like that, because they know. | ||
They know what we all go through. | ||
They know what we've gone through, and they see it, and they're smart. | ||
And, you know, many of those people coming from Cuba, Venezuela, other countries, they've seen this happening to their countries. | ||
I used to say that The United States, if it keeps going this way, it's going to be Venezuela on steroids. | ||
And now we're buying oil from Venezuela. | ||
Can you believe it? | ||
We have more liquid gold under our feet than any other nation, but we're buying tar from Venezuela. | ||
And we're refining it in Houston. | ||
The dirtiest, worst oil probably anywhere in the world. | ||
And we're refining it so you can imagine what's going up in the air. | ||
And our beautiful stuff we're not taking out of the ground and making a lot of money and paying off debt. | ||
And reducing taxes still further, which we were in the process of doing. | ||
They want to distract from the real espionage and the real crime, so let's use President Trump to do so. | ||
Let's go out and let's indict President Trump so they don't talk about the $5 million bribe. | ||
Just yesterday, Senator Grassley revealed that the Burisma executive who allegedly paid the bribe reportedly has Crooked Joe on tape. | ||
They have 17 tapes, I understand. | ||
He must be a nice guy to deal with, right? | ||
The guy from Burisma. | ||
Nice company. | ||
They got him and Hunter on 17 different tapes, supposedly. | ||
But the FBI isn't showing them. | ||
Remember, they impeached me for asking a simple question about Biden's corrupt dealings in Ukraine, and now they see that, once again, I was right. | ||
I was right. | ||
I was totally right. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Allegedly. | ||
Joe Biden and the radical left can take foreign bribes. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
They're gonna call that incitement or something. | ||
Republicans all, you must finally get tough. | ||
You've got to get tough. | ||
unidentified
|
You've got to get tough and you've got to show them. | |
When you arrest your leading political opponent, we no longer have a democracy. | ||
When people are allowed to pour through our open borders and our elections are rigged, | ||
our country is in very serious trouble. | ||
When inflation is allowed to rage, when energy independence and dominance, we had independence | ||
We were going to be soon very, very dominant. | ||
Within six months, we were going to dominate the whole world with energy, make a fortune. | ||
We were going to be paying off debt and lowering taxes at a level that nobody has ever seen. | ||
And they came in and they ended it. | ||
But when that's taken away from us, when interest rates and taxes spiral upward in an uncontrolled way, When murderers are allowed to roam—murderers, these are horrible killers—murderers are allowed to roam the streets of our Democrat-run cities unchecked, but the incompetent district attorney in New York indicts Trump for a crime that everybody agrees—every pundit, everybody—there is no crime, but murderers go out | ||
And nobody ever even comes and knocks on their door, and they know they're there, and they know their rooms, and they know their locations. | ||
And they're roaming our cities all over. | ||
And some of them are coming in right now through our borders. | ||
But then you have a nation that, as we are, is in serious, serious decline. | ||
We have a nation in serious decline. | ||
If the communists get away with this, It won't stop with me. | ||
They will not hesitate to ramp up their persecution of Christians, pro-life activists, parents attending school board meetings, and even future Republican candidates, which they do. | ||
We must end it permanently, and we must end it immediately. | ||
Now that the seal, so important, is broken. | ||
The seal is broken by what they've done. | ||
They should never have done this. | ||
This was an unwritten rule. | ||
You just don't. | ||
Unless it's really bad. | ||
But you just don't. | ||
But the seal is now broken. | ||
In addition to closing the border and removing all of the criminal elements that have illegally invaded our country, making America energy independent and even dominant again, and immediately ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, I'll have it ended in 24 hours. | ||
I think it'll be faster than that. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
I think it'll be, the war will stop before he even assumes office. | ||
I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden. | ||
And the entire Biden crime family. | ||
Name a special prosecutor. | ||
He is, he really, he really still has it. | ||
And all others involved with the destruction of our elections, our borders, and our country itself. | ||
They're destroying our country. | ||
And when I'm reelected and we will get reelected, we have no choice. | ||
We're not going to have a country anymore. | ||
I will totally obliterate the deep state. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
This is what I want the Trump revenge for. | ||
Nobody else can do it. | ||
unidentified
|
I want you to go in there and get rid of every single person who even looked at your name. | |
Look at this. | ||
Look at this morning PBS play. | ||
unidentified
|
Inflammatory rhetoric can cause violence. | |
That infuriates me. | ||
That makes me mad. | ||
I want to see a live stream. | ||
I want to see a live stream of a stack of pink slips. | ||
And Trump's going, stamp. | ||
unidentified
|
a stack of pink slips and Trump's going, stamp. Stamp. | |
And I just happen to be standing in their way and I will never be moving. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, PBA. | |
Oh my gosh, and there they modified it. | ||
PBS sucks. | ||
We will take back our country and we will make America great again. | ||
This is public broadcasting. | ||
Unbelievable. | ||
unidentified
|
Public broadcasting. | |
God bless you all. | ||
Propaganda media. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you very much. | |
Propaganda broadcasting service. | ||
They have the NPC man as their mascot. | ||
Literally. | ||
That's why I want him. | ||
I want him to burn it all down. | ||
Get rid of every single person in there that's even looked at his name. | ||
So this is the PBS feed and at the end it said, violent political rhetoric has escalated among right-wing militias and online forums. | ||
As he's saying, I'm gonna fire these people. | ||
Dude, these people are despicable. | ||
And it's calling it context. | ||
It said context. | ||
Inflammatory rhetoric can cause people to commit acts of violence or influences people to commit acts of violence. | ||
I mean, unbelievable. | ||
You could almost argue that that statement by PBS was an inflammation of acts of violence. | ||
Saying, the things that you're seeing right now might cause you to become violent. | ||
That's almost like... There's nobody else. | ||
There's nobody else. | ||
That's the unfortunate thing, because I don't think his whole, I'm gonna go in there and end everything is the right way to create a new, better world. | ||
Really? | ||
That actually surprises me that that's your position. | ||
If I burned it all down, we'd all die in a horrible fire. | ||
Like, what's the value of that? | ||
Saying we want to weed out corruption is not the same as destroy the system. | ||
Yeah, but he's like, I'm gonna go fire, I'm gonna go obliterate the deep state, is the most vague, nonsensical statement. | ||
Like, what does he mean? | ||
He's gonna issue pink slips and they're just gonna say, okay, no. | ||
Schedule F, as he already implemented in his first term, and then did not win re-election, so was not able to carry out, and then Biden, I think it was the Biden administration that reversed it, was the Basically, he was setting the policy for, we are going to fire people who have been permanently in government and who should not be here anymore. | ||
The idea that you can get hired by the federal government, be bad at your job, be corrupt, and not get fired is insane. | ||
So when he implements Schedule F, he then says, if I get reelected, we're going to bring back Schedule F and start firing these corrupt individuals. | ||
Why would your position be that's bad? | ||
Because he's talking about people that just got hired six weeks ago, he's going to fire them too? | ||
unidentified
|
But he's going to disband the FBI, disband the CIA, disband the NSA. | |
That would be complete insanity. | ||
He'd disband the federal government. | ||
That's what they did to the Iraqis after the Gulf War and it created ISIS. | ||
They are targeting us, Ian. | ||
They are targeting you. | ||
You are probably on this somewhere. | ||
Going from, there are permanent bureaucrats who should be fired, to your statement Ian, he's going to shut down the whole government? | ||
That's not what, no! | ||
Calm down! | ||
Obliterate the deep state is the same kind of tautology that got Kennedy killed. | ||
I believe tautology is the right word, I'm gonna look up the definition of that. | ||
You can't, I mean, if you just say, I'm gonna fix everything, and they're all like, yay! | ||
A tautology is like, love is love, right? | ||
It's when you just like, obliterate the deep state. | ||
When Donald Trump spends years, and other advisors and individuals in his circle spend years, describing what is called the permanent government, individuals who work in the federal government, who have been there throughout multiple administrations, who set policy, And need to be fired for wrongdoing. | ||
That's what he has explained over and over again. | ||
And then he says, we've got to fire these people. | ||
Colloquially, they're called the Deep State. | ||
So, I think you just didn't understand. | ||
You're talking about heads of agencies? | ||
Are you talking about every employee of the deep state? | ||
Like, what do you mean? | ||
There are people who have been, some are in charge, some were even, he mistakenly hired some, you know, he made big mistakes in that regard, but we're not talking about going to the entirety of a single agency and literally just firing every single person and then leaving an empty room. | ||
He's saying there are people who need to be fired, who can't be fired. | ||
But is he- It's like, imagine if you bought a pizza restaurant, and everybody in there was sitting around and nobody was working. | ||
And you're like, why am I paying you people? | ||
I'm like, union contract, you can't fire us. | ||
And so then some guy's like, okay, well I'm gonna buy this pizza place, and then I'm setting a new policy, I'm gonna negotiate a new contract, and say, I can fire you if you don't do your job. | ||
So then the people who work there all team up, conspire, accuse you of crimes, and have you arrested. | ||
Ian, have you ever lived through a government shutdown? | ||
Yes, because you have. | ||
You mean like COVID and all that? | ||
No, like a government shutdown at the end of the year when they don't meet the appropriations bills, right? | ||
And they only have essential people working, right, from the federal government. | ||
You don't notice it. | ||
You don't feel it at all a day in your life. | ||
They could cut all of those people. | ||
If you're a non-essential worker and you get laid off during a government shutdown, I'm sorry, goodbye. | ||
But that's a fiscal argument. | ||
That's like, we're wasting too much money on people. | ||
But you're right. | ||
On top of that, you're not going to feel it. | ||
If all of these leeches and these corrupt people, the people that are not implementing the president's policy because they don't like him, are still in power, because that's what they are. | ||
I mean, if he puts out a policy and they say, we're going to slow walk this, we're not going to implement it, then they do actually have power. | ||
They're not elected. | ||
They need to go. | ||
They need to go. | ||
All of them need to go. | ||
Well, I'm open to that, but having a president do it with authoritarian zeal is like... Yo, legislate that. | ||
Let Congress do that. | ||
They're going after a former president with authoritarian zeal. | ||
No, no, no, stop, stop! | ||
It's a different branch of government! | ||
Congress is one branch, there is the judicial branch, and there's the executive branch. | ||
Donald Trump would be the head of the executive branch. | ||
Congress is not going to go and fire staff For which they are not involved, a different branch of government. | ||
The separation of powers exists for a reason. | ||
So that we don't have dictators going and destroying our other branches. | ||
So Donald Trump going into his branch of government and saying, bad people should be fired is exactly what he said. | ||
He said, I'm going to obliterate the deep state. | ||
And? | ||
That means he's going to nullify the FBI. | ||
There will be no FBI if it's obliterated. | ||
That's the executive branch! | ||
Are you saying fire the people that work there and then hire new people? | ||
Ian, what are you saying? | ||
You are being willfully obtuse. | ||
What do you think the deep state is? | ||
Just out of curiosity. | ||
How would you define the deep state? | ||
Because I feel like that's where we're all a little confused here. | ||
Unelected bureaucratic officials? | ||
With nefarious intentions? | ||
No, no. | ||
I don't know what their intentions are. | ||
See, this is where you are making things up. | ||
And if you don't understand what is being said, you can ask. | ||
I just answered the question. | ||
I'm not making it up. | ||
That's not true. | ||
That's how I define the deep state. | ||
Unelected bureaucratic officials. | ||
How do you define it? | ||
So the permanent government. | ||
So we can go back to the hearings that actually took place when they had NSA officials and they discussed, does the deep state exist? | ||
And they said, no, it doesn't. | ||
And people in the media ran articles saying there is no deep state. | ||
They then said, we call it the permanent government. | ||
These are certain elements within certain departments who have been here throughout multiple administrations and set policies. | ||
They are unelected. | ||
In many instances, some of these people have committed overt violations of either law, like the Hatch Act, for instance, which seems to get violated a lot, or just in general, they did things that warrant firing. | ||
So when for years we're having a discussion about people who for some reason can't be fired and should be fired, and then Donald Trump comes along and says, that guy needs to be fired, we go, yeah, he's right. | ||
You then say, no, the deep state means something totally different based on my assumption. | ||
Give me names, Don. | ||
If you're going to fire people, tell me who you're going to fire. | ||
I don't want to hear that you're going to obliterate the government. | ||
That doesn't help. | ||
Obliterate the deep state. | ||
It's obliterate the FBI, the CIA, the NSA. | ||
You're obliterating the people that are obstructionary in there from implementing his policy, the people that have been unelected, that have been targeting him, that have been targeting conservatives, like in the IRS, right, when you can't when they're targeting churches and conservative 501c3s | ||
just because they have the name Patriot in it. | ||
Those people are the deep state. That's who they are. They are the obstructive people who hate us. | ||
They hate you for not even paying, like for not following their line. They don't like us. | ||
I think that's a dirty tactic to tell people that they're hated by other people you don't know. | ||
Ian, you're an authoritarian. | ||
I know them. They don't like you. | ||
You don't know me. | ||
You're an authoritarian. | ||
You have hard authoritarian tendencies. | ||
Let me ask you a question. | ||
When Donald Trump tried to pull all of our troops out of Syria, was that a good thing? | ||
At face value, yeah, that war was ridiculous, and it wasn't a war. | ||
Was it good when there was officials who lied to Donald Trump to keep troops in Syria? | ||
No, man, but these are real pointed questions. | ||
Should that person be fired? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know! | |
I don't know what was going on! | ||
I don't know if it would have killed a bunch of people if they'd pulled out. | ||
I don't know what the situation was there. | ||
But at face value, if the president issues an order and it's violated, there's a big problem in the chain of command, that person should be reprimanded. | ||
Should they be fired for lying to the president and the American people to keep military activity ongoing in a country we did not declare war on? | ||
Potentially, yeah. | ||
Potentially fired. | ||
If your commander and one of your dudes goes out to violate one of your orders, you may not fire him because there may be some, you know, rudimentary justification. | ||
There was a while ago I referred to you as the banality of evil, and this is a really good example of that. | ||
See, in my world, and I wonder if you guys agree with me and the people listening agree, if there is a Commander-in-Chief who has been duly elected by the people of his country to properly lead and serve out his term as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and he says, I order my troops to be removed, and then tells the American people we are getting our troops out of Syria, and then an official behind the backs of the American people lies to the President to keep troops on the ground in a foreign country we did not declare war on. | ||
That person is a traitor to this country, that person is committing seditious conspiracy, and is actively engaged in a foreign... I mean, the amount of laws that were violated, it's not even a question, and this is fact. | ||
We know that happened. | ||
So, when I said the banality of evil, What you are saying is, you know what, I just don't know. | ||
Let the evil people keep doing their thing. | ||
And I'm like, bro, we can outright see there's a guy who is obstructing the will of the people and the duly elected president to serve out his term and end a foreign war we did not want. | ||
And you're like, I don't know, we might want to keep him in there. | ||
Give me the guy's name. | ||
No, no, let's put it this way. | ||
The executive branch serves at the pleasure of the president. | ||
That is what it actually says. | ||
They serve at the pleasure of the president. | ||
So now they're his staff. | ||
The executive branch and the people that work there are his staff. | ||
Would you come and keep a whole bunch of people Who maybe, I would say, 80% are known to object to your policies. | ||
Would you just clean house and hire your own staff, right, and kill that deep state that's been there for years and years and years? | ||
Jim Jefferies. | ||
Wouldn't you want to know them? | ||
Wouldn't you want to know that they were on your side? | ||
And he has every right to do that. | ||
It's like if you were to have your own company. | ||
Tim wouldn't buy a media company, even though it was all lefties, and say, yeah, you can all still work here. | ||
Here you go. | ||
Task and purpose. | ||
News guard certified. | ||
100 out of 100. | ||
Top US official admits lying to Trump on American troop levels in Syria. | ||
Saying, we were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there. | ||
That's insane. | ||
Treason! | ||
Yep. | ||
What happened to this guy? | ||
Nothing! | ||
unidentified
|
And this is exactly what we're talking about. | |
This guy should be criminally charged! | ||
Yeah, you are being exact. | ||
We should be exact if we're talking about firing people in the federal government. | ||
Donald Trump is not going to stand up with a half an hour's time and say, I'd like to give you a list of every single person who needs to be fired. | ||
Here we go, starting in alphabetical order. | ||
That's insane! | ||
So when we have this conversation, and then Trump addresses it, and then a week later we have another conversation about another corrupt official, and we have a conversation. | ||
Who's the guy who lied before Congress about spying on the American people? | ||
James Clapper did. | ||
Hey, he should be in jail! | ||
He should have been charged for that. | ||
When that story happens, we go, hey, that guy's bad. | ||
And then Trump says, I agree, we should arrest these people. | ||
Then we have another story here. | ||
This guy, he's bad. | ||
We should arrest that guy. | ||
Yeah, he committed a crime. | ||
Then, with a half an hour standing at a podium, Trump's got a short amount of time to explain his plans. | ||
He says, we're going to go after these people. | ||
We're going to obliterate the deep state. | ||
He's talking about this. | ||
unidentified
|
I hope. | |
What do you mean you hope? | ||
It's literally what he's been talking about for years. | ||
Who do you think he's going to go after? | ||
Who are you worried for in the deep state? | ||
The T-State specifically refers to the corrupt individuals. | ||
I don't think it has to do with corruption, it's just a level... It certainly does. | ||
No, you could be a non-corrupt T-State. | ||
So why is it that we get swatted 15 times and there's no action taken? | ||
None. | ||
We're the multiple agencies to deal with the fact that across federal... Now, I wonder, but why did so many FBI agents go and investigate a garage pull rope? | ||
For no reason. | ||
For no reason. | ||
See, the issue is the Deep State isn't every single FBI agent. | ||
The Deep State is many of them. | ||
In fact, depending on who you want to ask, you go back to Hoover, the Deep State may just be literally the whole agency. | ||
But there are a lot of people in the FBI who have actually done things. | ||
They go after child exploitation. | ||
We've seen that. | ||
I like that stuff. | ||
Stop those predators. | ||
But you know what the problem is? | ||
Right now you have, I don't know, we get swatted 15 times, nothing. | ||
Garage pour-up investigated. | ||
Donald Trump criminally charged. | ||
Hillary Clinton not criminally charged. | ||
Joe Biden not criminally charged. | ||
This is the deep state. | ||
And I have actually talked to people who work in the intelligence agencies. | ||
And I've asked them, what's it like? | ||
Is it really that bad? | ||
You know what they say to me? | ||
They said, it's exactly the same on the inside as it is on the outside. | ||
A lot of good people who are too scared to speak up because their bosses are woke and they're scared they're gonna get fired or something bad's gonna happen. | ||
And I'm like, this is the problem. | ||
You've got core elements of corrupt individuals who are deranged cultists who are like, we must imprison Trump no matter what, lying about what Trump has done, pushing these lies relentlessly and refusing to criminally charge anybody else. | ||
Hey, you don't want to arrest Hillary Clinton? | ||
Fine. | ||
How can you then turn around and go after Trump for something that's not even as bad as smashing phones with hammers and using BleachBit, a software, to purge the hard drive so no data could ever be recovered? | ||
A clear violation of public records law. | ||
And so Donald Trump says, we got to get rid of this corruption. | ||
And that's it. | ||
Plain and simple. | ||
I don't believe Ron DeSantis will do it. | ||
I just don't. | ||
I don't either. | ||
I think he's got great policy. | ||
I don't believe Don's going to do it, man. | ||
He said he was going to drain the swamp. | ||
He told me that for two years when he was running for president. | ||
When he had another election coming up, this would be his last opportunity to run for president, and he has been so wronged and so violated in the meantime, since January 6th, basically, that he would go scorched earth and he would drain the swamp. | ||
That's why I want him. | ||
We don't live our lives down paths of absolute certainty. | ||
We walk towards... We're walking down a road, and we come across a variety of paths before us. | ||
And we try and look into the distance down each path to figure out which one is the safe route. | ||
To our right, we see thunder, lightning, and scary trees, and crows, and we go, oh, that looks scary. | ||
To our left, we see sunshine and rainbows. | ||
We do not know what actually is the end of those paths, but we can take our best guess. | ||
I'm gonna go with the sunshine and rainbows over the dark and scary forest. | ||
Now it may turn out, once you get to the end of that sunshine, all of a sudden there's big cloud-shaped monsters that attack you. | ||
And if you go through the crazy forest, there's a bunch of wood elves having a delicious feast. | ||
And you know what? | ||
We had the wrong choice. | ||
The best thing we can do is say, What is our best likelihood at solving the problem of corruption in this country? | ||
And it is Donald Trump. | ||
Does that mean we have a guarantee he'll do it? | ||
Absolutely not. | ||
In fact, he'll probably screw up a lot. | ||
But if that chance is 51% and any other candidate is 10, I go with 51%. | ||
If he's the only one who's standing up saying, we will fire them, then he's the only one worthy of voting for. | ||
Vivek's doing a little bit of that. | ||
Yes, absolutely. | ||
Vivek is amazing. | ||
I want to mention this. | ||
Says my mom. | ||
We're also, I just want to acknowledge this, we've all sort of mentioned some of our disappointments with Trump's presidency. | ||
The fact that he said he was going to drain the swamp and didn't. | ||
He didn't get rid of all of these people. | ||
But similarly, you can argue that drain the swamp is also as vague as obliterate the deep state. | ||
We know there are certain agencies that are filled with corrupt people who need to be taken out. | ||
I would argue that especially after Facing 400 years in prison on these quite literally trumped up charges, he's going to be more motivated than ever before to really go after these people. | ||
It's very challenging for me to talk about this from the outside because I don't know what he knows. | ||
And if he knows all the specific people that he needs to fire to set off the chain of action to actually create a more just system, I can get behind that, but if he's just angry and doesn't know who he's going to go after and he's just saying this, then it strikes me as a platitude. | ||
Stuff that Hitler would do. | ||
I've been concerned about Hitler. | ||
I've been listening to these Nazi speeches of Hitler being like, these are evil! | ||
Bad! | ||
The news is bad! | ||
Vile! | ||
Get these evil people! | ||
For the love of all that is good in our country, and then they're all cheering for love, and it's like, dude, he spent 95% of his speech talking about hate, and then at the very end he's like, love, love, love, platitude, and everyone feels, gets this endorphin rush, and like, it better be more than an endorphin rush. | ||
So this is what the media does to people. | ||
They scream over and over again that Trump is Hitler, they find whatever dubious parallels they can, and they try and convince you that you're looking in a reflection, which you are completely and absolutely not. | ||
It's just not. | ||
It's ridiculous. | ||
These people come out and they're like, you're a fascist, and it's like, yo, I believe in civil liberties, free speech, civil libertarianism, I want the government to be smaller, and they're like, you're a fascist. | ||
You know what it is? | ||
See, the people who want absolute authority, the violent fervor is not on the right. | ||
How is it that Seamus and I can disagree on, you know, big political issues and debates, even around spirituality, obvious issues like abortion, yet here we are every day laughing together, having conversations, trying to live and work together. | ||
This side is not the fervent, zealous side. | ||
The people who claim to be leftists but cheer for every massive multinational corporation and government mandate, Those are the fascists! | ||
It's a lot of drug addicts. | ||
But, yeah, Hasan Piker's not a drug addict. | ||
Well, I don't know what pharmaceuticals he's using. | ||
A lot of people that are addicted to, like, Ritalin and stuff like that. | ||
My point is... They don't have the emotional capacity. | ||
Using Hasan as a good example, I find it fascinating that he ends up on the side of massive multinational corporations so often. | ||
He criticized Nick Merckx because Nick Merckx didn't support vaccine mandates. | ||
And I'm like, how is the socialist guy in favor of literally massive multinational pharmaceuticals having no bid, no liability contracts where the people are mandated to take a drug? | ||
That's like... | ||
If you want to talk about nightmare dystopia books, how about one where the government forces people to take drugs? | ||
And if you find yourself on that side, you're a fascist! | ||
Now I know quite literally I'm gonna get every lefty in the world messaging me now being like, I'm actually a fascist. | ||
Shut up! | ||
You can't sit here and be like, Kimpo's a fascist because he believes in frisbitch, and then go around mandating and demanding the government force people to be medicated. | ||
Y'all are fascists. | ||
I don't care what you want to say, you're authoritarian crackpots. | ||
There's no guarantee voting for Trump saves anything. | ||
There's no guarantee that Ron DeSantis, there's certainly, I would say, a guarantee that if you vote for Joe Biden, it will get worse. | ||
Correct. | ||
So I can only say this, I'm looking at the board and I'm like, where am I going to put my chips? | ||
Donald Trump. | ||
Yeah, and that speech, there's a lot to talk about in that speech, and I kind of hijacked it talking about this. | ||
The other thing that set me off is the way that the Americans got rid of the Ba'ath Party in Iraq after the invasion in 2004, caused a gap, like a vacancy in the government, and then ISIS comes in and starts taking control and forming. | ||
So I was concerned about that with eradicating the deep state, firing all this leadership, that a new, not only would all those fired people go off and start their own rogue government, You seem to be very worried about a totalitarian government, right? | ||
But at this point, I think, and this is going to sound wild, a Trumpian authoritarian government is so much better than what I've got going on right now. | ||
I'm not going to lie. | ||
Trump would not bring out the military for these riots. | ||
I know. | ||
And even I think that was a mistake. | ||
I agree. | ||
Yet we're in the totalitarian dictatorship. | ||
We do have a totalitarian dictatorship because they tried to unseat a democratically elected president. | ||
It's like, Ian, you're like, I'm scared of Hitler. | ||
Quite literally, Joe Biden is trying to arrest his political rival right now. | ||
I'm scared of Platinum. | ||
He literally did it. | ||
He literally did arrest his political rival. | ||
You have a religious left wing that is ruling this country. | ||
And honestly, you have a fascist, religious left wing that absolutely is in control of this country, and I'm sorry that if my alternative, and I don't think it's as bad as you say it is, but if it was that, I would take it every day of the week. | ||
We gotta go to Super Chats! | ||
So, if you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, go to TimCast.com, click join us, the members-only show will be at 10pm, and we will take your calls! | ||
And it'll be fun. | ||
And we'll talk a lot about this, but first, let's just read. | ||
Alright! | ||
I'm not your buddy, guy, says. | ||
Maybe it's just me, but Beijing Biden seems to be a traitor who sold state secrets and favors to foreign powers. | ||
As a Canadian, I worry about the CCP. | ||
Yep. | ||
Yep. | ||
Hear, hear. | ||
That's right. | ||
Korek57 says, Tim, how much to get you to do the show in full Vulsiferon? | ||
It's not it's it's it's Vulsiferon Herald of the Winter Mists, please. | ||
It's like you're not gonna use the full name, you know. | ||
Uh, it's the, it's the, uh, trope character I use to represent furry rights. | ||
So if someone went to a workplace dressed in a full fursuit and said their name is Vulciferon, Herald of the Winter Mists, and that is, you have to use that name in full, otherwise it's a violation of human rights. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
That's the example I use. | ||
And literally, according to the law... That's true. | ||
It is factually true. | ||
They wouldn't enforce it at this point, right? | ||
Yeah, you'd get laughed out of court, but that is the law. | ||
You think so? | ||
Absolutely. | ||
Really? | ||
You think you'd get a lawyer to represent you? | ||
You'd probably get a lawyer to represent you, but I think it might also depend on what state you're in. | ||
They would easily show the law in New York. | ||
That gender expression is how you dress and how your name is used, clearly defined as in the person wearing a fursuit, it's clothing, it's a name, and they would clearly establish that furries are a long-standing community with self-identity. | ||
And so, on what grounds, under this law, would they have to exclude a large group of people who identify in a certain way, dress a certain way, and call themselves a certain name? | ||
I don't think they would lose that one based on this law. | ||
Anyway. | ||
Alright, where are we at? | ||
We'll grab some more Super Chats. | ||
Harry Toast says the Starbucks in Seattle still have windows covered in pride flags. | ||
Yeah, I'm sure that's the case. | ||
Of course, some of them do. | ||
Yeah, so I think what's happening is a bunch of specific Starbucks are taking things down and the union workers are reporting it to the union and then that's why Starbucks is like, we have no corporate policy saying that. | ||
It's doublespeak for individual stores may be doing this, regional stores may be doing it, but from the highest level they may not be instructing it. | ||
Who knows? | ||
And there can also be insubordination, people just going, I'm not going to take this flag down, not during Pride Month. | ||
Exactly, especially in Seattle. | ||
I think it's more that. | ||
I think it would come top down and to save money. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
And then certain stories say that's not our clientele. | ||
Exactly. | ||
All right. | ||
Joshua Guthrie says, I was in the hospital room and the show was after. | ||
Oh, is that talking about your wife giving birth to your son? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Oh, based. | ||
Nice. | ||
Good for you. | ||
That was from yesterday. | ||
Good for you. | ||
Congrats. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Make more babies. | ||
Raymond G. Stanley Jr. | ||
says, Tim, the Bud Light effect has taken on a life of its own now. | ||
It's a beautiful thing to see. | ||
More please. | ||
That's right. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
Raybert G. Standbert Jr. | ||
says, shout out to you, Seamus, as well as other guests like people from the Daily Wire. | ||
I've returned to the church and reconnected with God due to people like you spreading the word and being a force for good. | ||
God bless you. | ||
Thank you so much for saying that. | ||
Thank you so much for saying that. | ||
I'll keep you in my prayers. | ||
Matt Johnson says, for Seamus, wife is pregnant through embryo adoption. | ||
I'm sterile and she has had a medical condition that led to bad egg quality. | ||
Curious on your position on a case like ours after hearing your opinion on similar stuff. | ||
Interesting. | ||
So, when it comes to, like, embryo adoption, is he talking specifically about in vitro fertilization? | ||
No, what happens is people that go to get in vitro, they freeze a bunch of fertilized eggs. | ||
And then people will adopt those embryos? | ||
Yeah, because they didn't use them. | ||
It's kind of to make up for that 90,000 throwaway rate that we have with fertilized embryos every year. | ||
I'm very big on anti-surrogacy. | ||
I'm not a fan of surrogacy. | ||
This is something that's a bit different. | ||
I believe he's talking about the embryos that have been created and then people then adopting them. | ||
I don't know nearly enough about it. | ||
I'd really have to think and read about that. | ||
I'd have to think. | ||
I've heard about it, but sometimes with these things there are just implications you wouldn't consider when first hearing about it. | ||
So I just want to think and read about that a lot. | ||
But it's a good question. | ||
I'd rather them be adopted than thrown away and discarded because they are each an individual human there. | ||
So I would much rather do that if, you know, you don't have any other options. | ||
But it also depends on if you're using a surrogate or it's your wife's body or whatever. | ||
But embryo adoption is better than throwing them away. | ||
Well, I have no idea what the answer is, to be honest. | ||
It's a very interesting question. | ||
I want to think about that. | ||
I want to read about that more. | ||
The one free man says you pay 550 million dollars of pretend money to build the bank a mall. | ||
Bank-induced pressure caused you to foreclose on mall. | ||
You give mall to bank. | ||
Build bank dozens of blue cities. | ||
You will own nothing and you will be happy. | ||
You guys heard that in San Francisco, Westfield Mall has surrendered the property? | ||
No, that's the first time I've heard it. | ||
The downtown San Francisco is gone. | ||
This is, yeah, because we were just talking about that hotel. | ||
Two hotels. | ||
Yeah, two massive hotels. | ||
The Hilton in the Park 55 and now the entire Westfield Mall. | ||
We're not talking Motel 6. | ||
Like, these were gigantic block-sized hotels. | ||
Oh, this is, I think it's several hundred thousand, I think it's 300,000 square feet. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's $1.6 billion worth of hotel. | ||
And this is $550 million for the Westfield. | ||
They said even right now it's only 55% leased. | ||
You know what's going to happen? | ||
Why is the hotel going to operate? | ||
No, no, better question, how will it operate? | ||
If the for-profit enterprise says, we can't turn a profit on this, so we're out, it's your problem now. | ||
You think the bank is going to be able to figure out how to do it? | ||
The bank doesn't run hospitality businesses, so what's going to happen is, they're likely going to drop it down to a skeleton crew. | ||
They're going to eventually stop letting anybody come at all. | ||
The rooms will be locked and unused because they're not going to hire cleaning services. | ||
They're not going to want to pay for water or heating or gas or utilities or maintenance. | ||
They're not going to be able to keep it up to code. | ||
This is ridiculously expensive. | ||
But it's not just about what they want to do. | ||
It's that if the Hilton couldn't get customers to come, they couldn't get the money to pay for these things. | ||
The lender is certainly not going to be able to. | ||
Here's what I imagine. | ||
In five years, there will be a big, empty crack house. | ||
The biggest crack house you've ever seen. | ||
And I'm not being cute. | ||
You're right. | ||
They're going to, one day, there will be one guy left, and they're going to say, | ||
look, he's going to be a senior VP at the bank. | ||
They're going to be like, I don't know what we're doing with this property. | ||
We're not going to sink anymore. | ||
We're not putting good, we're not throwing good money after bad. | ||
You deal with it. | ||
And the guy's going to be sitting there and he's going to, he's going to be like in his office going, what am I supposed to do with this? | ||
And so he's going to take the keys, throw them in a drawer and forget about it. | ||
One day, someone's going to walk up to the building. | ||
There's going to be homeless people outside doing drugs, as there already are. | ||
They're going to be like, nobody goes in there anymore. | ||
It's been closed for months. | ||
Someone's going to smash the window. | ||
Then, someone else is going to walk by and look through the smashed window and go inside. | ||
Then, other people are going to start going inside too. | ||
Before anyone realizes it or cares, it will be fully occupied by random homeless drug users. | ||
Absolutely, so I want to make a point here. | ||
Ian, you said it was 1.3 billion? | ||
It was either 1.3 or 1.6. | ||
All right, so this is just something to seize on here, right? | ||
You have 1.6 billion dollars in lost, destroyed wealth because of bad policy forwarded by the Democratic Party, and left-wing activists and politicians are always saying that it's criminal for one single person to have over a billion dollars in | ||
their fortune, but to destroy a billion dollars that no one will ever again be able to | ||
benefit from with respect to the resources that have been eviscerated and removed from the | ||
use of the people is completely morally acceptable to them, not even something to worry about. | ||
unidentified
|
It's going to get crazy. | |
I say let it, let it happen. | ||
That's what you get. | ||
But they want it to happen. | ||
So when we sit back and say, this is what I asked when I covered this story earlier, I said, are you happy or sad this is happening? | ||
Because we can all sit here and be like, I'm glad it's happening. | ||
It's their policies and they're going, good, I'm glad you're happy because we did it on purpose. | ||
Or should we be like, we have to reject this and try and rescue our once great American cities? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
I think they give what they deserve. | ||
Now, I want to elaborate on this too, because my thoughts on this, and the reason I ask the question is, since the Daniel Penney thing, and Daniel Perry, I've been asking myself the same question about, you know, abandoning cities. | ||
And people brought the point to me, saying, we can't just let- the actual super chat sent to me was, we can't abandon our once great American cities to these people, this is what they want. | ||
And I thought that was a really great point, and something I probably wasn't thinking about. | ||
I do think that in the short term... | ||
You're better off getting away from cities for yourself. | ||
I think in the long term, we've got to figure out how to restore these cities after the fact. | ||
But look at what's happening in Kensington and these drug-addicted towns, right? | ||
They're getting this like literal zombie necrosis from shooting elephant trank in them. | ||
They can't even be admitted to rehabs because they can't deal with the wounds. | ||
Their bones are literally sticking out. | ||
Looks like flesh-eating diseases. | ||
Wait! | ||
That all goes. | ||
It takes care of themselves. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
If you're worried about these cities and buildings being overrun with drug addicts, eventually that will take care of itself. | ||
I don't know about that. | ||
I think you're going to get more druggies moving into those areas. | ||
I also think that One theory I have, I've talked about this probably two or three times in the show so far, but I think that if they do ever repair these cities, what's going to happen is all of the people who are friends with the political leaders will know before they start implementing the tough-on-crime policies and cleaning the place up, and they'll buy everything on the low once the property values have been completely tanked. | ||
Demoralize says, I hope you know Trump can't beat Biden. | ||
Only DeSantis can. | ||
If Trump is the nominee, we will vote Democrat, and Trump will lose, and it'll be your fault. | ||
Don't worry, if DeSantis is the nominee, I'm voting Libertarian, so I guess we both lose no matter what happens. | ||
Have a good day. | ||
Did he just... Wait, when he said weed, is he mean the country overall or are DeSantis voters threatening to vote Democrat? | ||
Yo, I gotta tell you, it's somebody pretending to speak for somebody else. | ||
It's a real annoying time. | ||
But the Twitter DeSantis crowd, they're as bad as liberals. | ||
Sorry, I just don't care. | ||
Not every single one, obviously. | ||
It's never every single one. | ||
But I see these tweets from people who have, like, they're taking pictures in Florida with DeSantis shirts, and they're lying about everything. | ||
So they're lying. | ||
So obviously I criticized DeSantis on the deepfake thing. | ||
I asked a question about DeSantis' policies pertaining to Jazz Jennings and they lied about both instances. | ||
Completely lied about what I said, and I'm like, at this point, you know what I see from these people? | ||
They are literally just the other- it's neocon garbage all over again. | ||
I don't trust them at all. | ||
I reached out to a Desantis official. | ||
They told me that he's just posting memes. | ||
Just memes, it's no big deal. | ||
Oh, they confirmed it, he was the one that posted it? | ||
No, no, they said it's just a meme. | ||
And I was like, it's a picture that says Real Life Trump, a collage, where you place fa- it's just a meme. | ||
Okay, these people are duplicitous, they're liars. | ||
And the people supporting him go on Twitter and make up lies all the same as the left do, in the exact same ways. | ||
So when I come out and say, hello, I see a problem with this. | ||
There is a video that the DeSantis campaign put out where there's fake images intending to manipulate people. | ||
I believe they should disavow this and say it was wrong to do. | ||
What is the response from the DeSantis fans? | ||
Tim Pool got tricked into thinking memes were real because he's stupid, which is a left-wing tactic they use to obfuscate what's really going on. | ||
By all means, you can go do it. | ||
The funny thing though is, like, I don't know if they think they're going to influence me into supporting them, but my only question is, are they actually secretly anti-DeSantis and trying to make him look really, really bad on purpose? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
They're not. | ||
I know a lot of them. | ||
They're not. | ||
Yeah, right. | ||
They're just nasty, lying people. | ||
No, maybe they are. | ||
I mean, look, if you wanted to get me to campaign against DeSantis with my utmost vigor, this is exactly how you would do it. | ||
Now, I can try and say something like, maybe they're actually trying to hurt DeSantis in that capacity to get people to turn against him. | ||
But it was the DeSantis campaign that posted the deepfakes, so, you know. | ||
If they posted deepfakes, they won't apologize for it, they've been fact-checked on Twitter, and now they're just saying, it's a joke! | ||
It's all a big joke! | ||
Then your campaign's a big joke, and I hope you lose! | ||
They will. | ||
They're going to anyway. | ||
The more people that enter the field, it only helps Trump get over that hump because he has the majority of the base. | ||
And then once you put him on the stage with Vic, who's obviously going to clean house with probably everyone, it'll be Trump and then him and then he'll pick up some points and then DeSantis will have no shot. | ||
Yeah, DeSantis... I'm sorry. | ||
So, did you see the polling out of Florida? | ||
It's bad, yeah. | ||
It's tied with Trump. | ||
That's his home state. | ||
That's bad. | ||
They want him as a governor. | ||
A lot of people I know from Florida are like, please, Ron, stand as Florida governor, run in the future for president. | ||
We had talked about this before when I said, why would people in Florida vote for the guy they like to leave? | ||
They're not going to want to be president. | ||
Alright, well, let's read some more. | ||
Ethan Reed says Starbucks is worried about Barnes & Noble. | ||
Are they? | ||
I mean, maybe. | ||
When's the last time you were in a Barnes & Noble? | ||
Delilah's Weekend. | ||
Really? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
We did. | ||
We stopped. | ||
We stopped at one. | ||
I read a really good book! | ||
I only go there to get, like, alumni gear. | ||
Did you post that? | ||
I did. | ||
This picture, reading Elizabeth Warren's book. | ||
I read it. | ||
It was really good. | ||
I'm sure she wrote it herself. | ||
We were looking at the political books, and I was like, I'm willing to bet that I can accurately predict with 90% cer... I can predict with 90% certainty who actually wrote their book and who didn't. | ||
And then there's, like, Elizabeth Warren, like, no way. | ||
Just no way. | ||
Then Charlie Kirk. | ||
I'm like, Charlie Kirk definitely wrote that book. | ||
So there are certain people where, you know, they talk too much. | ||
Like, Charlie's the kind of guy who talks so much, you know he's sitting there, he's gonna write a book. | ||
He's gonna let some of it out. | ||
No, no, exactly. | ||
And James O'Keefe, too. | ||
These are people who are, like, they have so much they project out there. | ||
Elizabeth Warren is just, like, Surface level floating around she maybe maybe she dictated some ideas to somebody and then they wrote it out for the history of her people I could be wrong. | ||
I could be wrong. | ||
I'm not I'm not saying, you know, you know, you know, I could be wrong I call her Liz of the faux Higgins That's really funny. | ||
That's that's very that's very smart. | ||
Actually shame is you're very smart. | ||
Thank you I did a cartoon about it a while ago. | ||
unidentified
|
You guys should check it out All right, we'll grab some more super chats. | |
Elated Echo says Trump got impeached for, quote, investigating his political opponent before Biden announced. | ||
What is Biden doing right now? | ||
How is this not the same? | ||
It's not the same. | ||
Are you nuts? | ||
It's worse. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
Trump was like, I want to know what that Biden's up to. | ||
And then they're like, how dare you? | ||
You're being impeached. | ||
Biden goes arrest him. | ||
And they're like, you got it, buddy. | ||
That's the deep state. | ||
That's the corruption. | ||
unidentified
|
It's getting worse, worse, worse. | |
Drew Outstanding in a Field says, Outstanding in Field says, Thank you for mentioning things you'd donate money to. | ||
Memorial Day, I said I would donate to support children of fallen military based on superchats. | ||
Just gave $1,000 to Gary Sinise Foundation. | ||
They do great work. | ||
Side note, when will you announce OCT meetup dates and tickets? | ||
Uh, I have no idea. | ||
We do have like... | ||
Too many people who want to come to our October event, so we're like, do we need a bigger venue now? | ||
Because we probably could, but I don't know. | ||
That would be fun. | ||
It's like 850 seats, so it's probably going to sell out real quick. | ||
Are you doing a casino? | ||
Again, for like all types of seats? | ||
Yeah, but they didn't have that many seats when we went to, it was Sugar House, which now I think is at Rivers or something. | ||
They had like 500 seat capacity. | ||
So the original theater we had 1,000, and then we ended up having to, you know, give refunds. | ||
If we found a place, I think, what do we have, Matt Gaetz and Trump Jr. | ||
confirmed for it. I think. | ||
Bongino wanted to come too. | ||
Bongino, yeah. | ||
I mean, because it's right there and it's easy for him to pop by. | ||
And I asked James O'Keefe, he said to let him know. | ||
I asked Patrick Bet-David, he said definitely interested. | ||
So, and I'm like, if we just bring all these people, it's like, it's going to be crazy. | ||
unidentified
|
Easy. | |
Maybe we do another event. | ||
I don't know, around the same time, we'll figure it out. | ||
It's going to be fun though. | ||
It's going to be fun. | ||
Josh Branson says, I feel like whenever we're talking politics, Ian just becomes a contrarian instead of expressing his own actual beliefs. | ||
Why do you think that? | ||
Well, he can't respond. | ||
It's a super chat. | ||
I appreciate the elucidation. | ||
I don't think that's true, necessarily. | ||
No, I express myself if I really believe what I'm saying. | ||
Eric F. says, Ian, you're a kind and gentle person. | ||
We need hard and cruel people to fix the deep state. | ||
I know, dude, and you also need people that are willing to lie and manipulate you in public on TV. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
Of course you do. | ||
George Washington wasn't honest with everyone all the time. | ||
I feel like you're really falling into this, like, Hitler trap. | ||
You should have seen my face when you said that. | ||
I was like, what? | ||
Anybody who ever speaks is going to be a bad guy. | ||
I would love for people to think I'm harmless. | ||
Also, Ian, you said George Washington wasn't honest. | ||
When he chopped down his dad's cherry tree, he told the truth about it. | ||
He was a spy master. | ||
He was like a master of subterfuge and illusion. | ||
He was able to trick people, enemy troops and things like that. | ||
Very good at issuing false orders to get troop lines confused and things. | ||
So you need a deceiver if you want a really powerful commander, I think. | ||
P. Detail says, Ian is putting on an act for 50,000 viewers. | ||
This isn't his genuine self. | ||
That's why it sounds like he's making it up as he goes. | ||
I think that it needs to be talked about, talking about Trump obliterating the deep state, that my point of view that I brought up earlier, it needs to be heard. | ||
I'm not going to like ride on that hill and die on that hill. | ||
I'm so down to get behind a reformation of our government right now. | ||
Yeah, and I can confirm, and Seamus can confirm, nah, this is Ian. | ||
This is who Ian is. | ||
He's our buddy, yeah. | ||
He has these ideas, but that's kind of the point, right? | ||
Would it be better if we all sat here shaking hands and petting each other on the back? | ||
Yeah, we like all agreed all the time. | ||
What people need to realize, too, is like, me getting passionate and inflamed as Ian says something he's passionate and inflamed about, and you guys thinking he's wrong, makes a conversation. | ||
You know, we've always had something like that. | ||
Sometimes we agree on a lot of things, and then sometimes, you know, say something like that, and then I'll be like, no, are you crazy? | ||
And then... I think it's more fun. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And everybody gets along when it's over, so... Well, yeah, Seamus and I have had arguments about stuff, too. | ||
unidentified
|
Right, Seamus? | |
Yeah, yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
We've been pretty good about not insulting each other. | ||
We're pretty good about that. | ||
And if and when it happens, it happens that day, and then it's like... | ||
Either we apologize or I apologize. | ||
Yeah, ever since you guys went to therapy together, you know, it's always been like, it's like, Ian, when you say obliterating the deep state is bad, I feel like that's incorrect. | ||
Are you making eye contact with Tim because he may feel like you're attacking him? | ||
We should do that and get Dr. Drew back. | ||
I just want a disclaimer out there. | ||
And then Ian goes, I feel that when Trump says that, it seems I'm from Philly, so if I insult you, it's likely an accident. | ||
That's just how we talk, and it's not necessarily like on purpose or anything. | ||
Oh, I thought you were going to say, I'm from Philly, so if I insult you, you deserved it. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, that's true. | |
I mean, like, no, listen, if you deserve it, you'll know. | ||
So if I insult you, you'll be prepared for worse than an insult. | ||
Yes, correct. | ||
That's correct. | ||
Yeah, but so don't take it personally if I insult. | ||
I insult people every day in Twitter spaces. | ||
TG9000 says, Ian is the deep state, they have him. | ||
Oh, they found me. | ||
No, it's not true. | ||
No, they didn't find you, they put you here. | ||
Mark Giardetti says, never DeSantis, never Ian, Trump Ramaswamy 2024. | ||
Dude, that would be... That would be dope. | ||
unidentified
|
That would be kind of amazing if Trump picked Ramaswamy. | |
Have you heard this guy? | ||
Vivek Ramaswamy? | ||
Did you ever see that meme? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Wow. | ||
You hear about this guy? | ||
Dude, that would be huge. | ||
A lot of people are saying like, oh, I couldn't vote for Trump because he's so bad. | ||
Did you know who he is? | ||
But I was talking to this one older guy, maybe in his 50s, and he was like, I just can't vote for Biden, man, but Trump. | ||
And then I was like, would you vote for DeSantis? | ||
And he was like, yeah, absolutely. | ||
I hope he gets it. | ||
And then I was like, what if it was Trump-DeSantis, like DeSantis VP? | ||
unidentified
|
And he goes, Yeah, yeah. | |
Now, I think that guy would feel similarly with Vivek. | ||
Vivek is fantastic. | ||
You know, someone super-chatted like, why don't you talk about Vivek? | ||
I'm like, we had him on Culture War, it was amazing! | ||
Gotta watch Culture War. | ||
Yeah, I think if there's a debate, Vivek will be the most knowledgeable person on the stage, running circles around everyone, but Trump will be the most aggressive, charismatic, running circles around everyone. | ||
He hits hard by being nice. | ||
He can say really hard things like, I'm absolutely going to pardon all the Jan Sixers and pardon Assange, and we're going to go after these people. | ||
But he says it with a kindness about him, and I'm sure that's what's appealing to a lot of people that struggle with Trump, even though they have basically the same platform. | ||
The thing that really kills me with Trump is just like the little digs, like when he's like, | ||
Biden, he's very proud of that. | ||
