Okay, so the breaking story is that a Democrat staffer on a Senate hearing room floor filmed himself and another man, let's just say, enjoying each other's company quite a great deal.
And there's video of it all over X. Everyone keeps posting the article because the video is out!
And, uh, everyone's like, well, unsurprising that it's a Maryland Democrat Senate staffer who, uh, I will just, just to, you know, so you understand, filmed he and another man enjoying each other's company quite a great deal.
On the Senate hearing floor.
And that's the story we're leading with because it's Friday and we're ready to laugh.
But I do think it matters because we're going to be talking a lot about January 6th and what's to come in 2024.
And there are a lot of stories about how this is going to go down, considering they just arrested or they're planning to arrest this journalist on Tuesday, Steve Baker.
So it's going to get pretty interesting.
And that, you know, we do have Owen Schroer joining us, who recently got out of prison over this stuff.
So we will get into all that.

We made a modern version and this, like, it's a modern version.
It's like synth pop.
You'll recognize it.
And the big news is we debuted at number one, top of the charts.
This morning I wake up and they're like, hey, you're number one on iTunes.

I want to let you guys in on, I want to tell you something.
I've pitched this numerous times saying, here's what happens with Jeremy Boring.
They tell him 100 times the market rate to play a song one time was no good.
He offered $150,000 to play one song one time and they told him no.
So instead he spends the money to make a spoof song to basically as an F you.
We team up with them doing a modern version for a similar reason because when we put out
our song we got emails back from entertainment press saying go F yourself and I'm like I'm
very determined now to force our way into these charts so they have no choice but to
Even though three of the four songs we've published have charted on Billboard.
They go into my Wikipedia page and they remove the chart numbers to make it look like the songs are not successful.
That's how dirty and driven these people are.
So, buy the song at TheBestSongEver.com and contribute your might to help us, me, Carter Banks, Jeremy Boring, and Michael Knowles give that middle finger, and you'll get a discount.

You know, I'm one of the most politically persecuted journalists in America.
I don't think it's a stretch to say that.
And I got out of prison last week for a speech crime.
And the last time I was here on TimCast, we were discussing this before we went live, how basically my case was going to be used as a precedent-setting case.
To go after other journalists, and now they are going after other journalists.
There's another one that's going to be turning himself in on Tuesday, and I suspect there's going to be a lot more in 2024.
So my case is eventually likely to get to the Supreme Court, and hopefully we can have success there to stop this political persecution of journalists in Biden's America.
And I'm sure we'll get into some of the details about my case and everything else.
We'll get into that later.
But I would just say that... I'll lead with this.
There's something that I can't get over now.
It's like an itch that can't be scratched.
And I'm not somebody that censors myself.
I don't censor myself.
I'm not afraid to speak my heart.
I'm not afraid to speak my mind.
Just coming on this show, just doing the interviews I've done this week, just hosting my show over at Infowars.
Now, every time I go on air and every time I speak, there's something in the back of my head.
Am I going to go to jail for this?
Am I going to get arrested for this?
Am I going to be incarcerated and tortured and thrown into solitary for this?
And that's what it's like to grow up in...
A communist country.
That's what it's like to grow up in an oppressive regime, and this is what it's like in America now, and it breaks my heart that this is the country that future Americans might grow up in.
That's the thought that has to linger in the back of their mind, like they're living in North Korea, that if they say something wrong, they have bad speak or a thought crime, they're gonna be locked up.
So hopefully we can stop this before it just gets totally out of control.
Hey guys, my name is Luke Rudowsky of ... youtube.com forward slash we are change and we are ... bringing back thug life with of course of the Tupac ... Machiavellian calluminati t-shirt that I'm wearing ... right now that you could get on the best political shirts ... .com we probably all will be in the gulag but.
We're all going to be together.
If you want to support me, the best way to do that, TheBestPoliticalShirts.com, also the best way to do some holiday shopping, because you do, that's why I'm here.
And I'm Ian Crossland, blasting through your consciousness to say hello to you through the interwebs.
And I wanted to clarify, anyone that's buying the song, The Best Song Ever, in order to get the coffee coat, I believe you have to buy it from TheBestSongEver.com.
No, like one of the guys I guess has a See, you know, everybody's getting mad at me, because I'm on X, and I'm like, is the guy you're naming the dude being filmed, or the dude doing the deed?
You know, not that much Luke, you know, you can calm down, I don't know what you were watching.
But, listen.
I've seen videos of people brutally murdered.
I have watched people die in front of me.
That's probably hyperbolic.
I've watched people die a great distance away from me, from a height.
I don't want to make it seem like I was standing in front of a guy who died.
I've been shot at.
So when this news breaks, that a Democrat staffer, there's two guys, and they're going at it, and then I see a bunch of people saying, this is the guy.
I'm like, hold on.
They said this guy filmed himself doing this thing, and I'm like, How do you know that's actually him?
So I half-jokingly tweeted, but half-seriously, I'm not going to say exactly what I said because it was graphic, but I responded to Greg, was it Greg Price, I think?
I said, he said, here's the guy who did it.
I said, is he the guy who's getting or the guy giving?
And everyone's like, haha.
Oh, I'm like, no, this matters because the dude, the dude doing the deed is wearing some kind of like head mounted camera.
So you can't see his face.
And the issue is, if they've gotten information through other means outside of the video that the guy filming, which they said this guy filmed himself doing it, that's implying the guy whose face you can't see is doing it, and the guy whose face you can't see is not him, that means there's another unidentified guy.
And I'm like, the last thing I'm gonna do is call a guy out on a show like this as having You know, and join another man's company in a public building, unless I know for sure that's the case.
So, I mean, likely not the first time this individual has done it, maybe in the building, but don't you need, you have to have a special pass to get access to that part of the building too, so it had to be another staffer of somebody.
I'm guessing these are not the first two men to, you know, insert in the exit hole in any of the Capitol buildings, but they might be the first to film it?
No, look, so I guess they were sharing it on various websites, like, ha ha ha, and it's kind of insane.
Look, guys, can I just jump the shark right now and say Civil War, just because?
Because I'm like, if we're at the point where staffers of the Senate care so little about this country, they treat our government buildings like porn sets.
I just don't see anyone having enough confidence in this government to maintain it.
I kind of don't care what these guys screwing each other because the government screws us every single day, right?
Seriously, you look at the surveillance secret FBI FISA bills that they just passed.
You look at the NDAA.
You look at the funding that they're probably going to be giving Israel and Ukraine very soon as, of course, the average American is being fleeced and destroyed financially.
I don't care what these two dudes did.
This is not a place to be respected.
This is a place that has been hijacked.
By sociopathic corporatists and globalists that are using it as a machine to screw over their American people, and you're the one getting family-friendly show here.
Yes, but that stuff's been going on, and the only reason these two guys are willing to do this is because they don't take our government seriously.
Why?
For every reason you just explained.
People are, these guys are like, oh, this government's a joke.
They rip people off, they blow kids up, nobody takes it seriously, then they go off on the Senate hearing floor and they... No, they've just made a meme.
And then, like, but later I started to learn, like, the appreciation of, like, if evil laws are passed, like what the Nazis did, you kind of, like, Jeff Thomas Jefferson would say, you kind of have a right to, like, ignore those laws or, like, If the government becomes evil, you're supposed to be like, well, okay, law isn't everything.
Actually, the Constitution, if you read the Constitution, it says if the lawmakers get out of control, you actually have a duty to get them out of government.
It's actually a duty in the Constitution, if our government becomes corrupted, that we have to do something about it.
But Ian, I've never been convicted of anything, but I got arrested while I was skateboarding, they gave me some bogus charge, and then I spent half a day in jail.
You've never had anything where you're, wow, look at that.
You know what this story made me think of when the two dudes getting it on in the Senate is like the power that one guy has to totally transform the public conversation now.
Like one guy with a video camera can Like, bang another guy, and then everyone's talking about it.
And then they'd have to have Polaroids, they'd go, or maybe they had a big Handycam that wouldn't fit on the guy's head, so they'd have to have a third guy taking the video.
But see, that's why Twitter or X is so important though, not so you can watch this debauchery, but maybe this is the kind of stuff they can censor and hide for the people they want to protect.
But thank goodness Elon Musk is at least allowing, I would say, 95% free speech on his platform.
Even newsworthy videos like this should not be allowed if there are young... It should be... I mean, YouTube does this, and sometimes they get it wrong, and that sucks, but I respect it.
They will age-lock a video.
And then people complain, being like, why is my video being age-restricted?
Oh, it's not fair.
And sometimes it's not fair.
But the challenge is, how do you allow people to upload whatever they want while preventing people from uploading things that are illegal?
So, what YouTube does with the age restriction stuff is, if someone posts this video of these staffers on YouTube, yeah, it should be age restricted.
Now, here's the problem.
Kids just lie.
They just sign up and claim to be 18.
We should not allow people to give these materials to kids.
I'm sorry, I just, like, you couldn't do it on TV.
I don't understand how it became normal to be like, You know, we were talking to, um, I think I was talking to Stephen Marsh, the guy who wrote the Civil War book, and he's like, oh, these kids can get it on the internet, so who cares, just let them get these books in school anyway.
And I'm like, they should not get it on the internet either.
Yeah, that's like- But the mentality of many liberals is, because of the internet, we should just give kids these books, and I'm like, no.
And I feel like that's like the bottom-of-the-hill argument.
Like, oh, they're gonna find it anyway, so let's put it in the classroom.
Like, what?
Oh, you're gonna- you're gonna die anyway, so I'm just gonna stab you now!
It's just like, it doesn't even make any sense.
But don't you think- I mean, I think, I mean, I do think Twitter should do everything, because YouTube, I don't think you can find any adult or pornographic content on YouTube.
There's a congressional, there's a very similar video to the congressional video that's going viral right now on social media that's up on YouTube, that YouTube is standing behind and argued that it is, what was it, artistic work, but it's a family-friendly show here.
Yeah, and I think, you know, it's a little open-ended, but I would say if the same effort they put into Twitter banning conservatives, or banning Alex Jones or myself or others, if they put that same effort into stopping the pornographic content, I would think they could at least limit it.
Well, so like the issue is when they use it for political censorship, not cool.
But if someone's trying to put up videos of these staffers, you know, doing a deed, we don't want kids finding that stuff.
So there's gotta be some way to deal with this.
I'm sorry, I don't know.
And there's a lot of people, the more libertarians don't like it, they're like, oh, Tim's for censorship, and this is gonna lead to a whole bunch of problems.
I'm like, bro, I don't believe that because a technology got invented, we all of a sudden throw out the rules where we're like, kids aren't allowed to be, you can't solicit adult materials to children.
Like, you can't do it.
Just because the internet got invented doesn't mean you can do it now.
That's tough, because I feel like, Maybe you kind of just let it go for a little period of time just so people can see it and then you say okay we got to make sure this doesn't go up because it is a newsworthy story and I mean people people want to know that this is what your people in government are doing.
I think one of the issues is, when it comes to this level of censorship, the issue is always, if X is allowed, then Y must be allowed too.
Instead of, if X is allowed, have we considered it should not be?
For example, Like, right now this is a big thing where people will print out male nipples, women will print out a picture of male nipples, and then stick them to their nipples, and then pose a topless photo and be like, male nipples are a lot on Instagram, but females aren't, so we're just showing male nipples, and you can't really tell, and they're like, aha!
The argument they're making is, well then, it should be allowed for all women to go completely topless on social media, instead of being like, okay, dudes gotta wear shirts too.
I mean, I would say, as a very heterosexual man, the concept of women walking around topless sounds great, but then you see these monsters, you see these whales that are engaging in the Free the Nipple campaign?
Shut it down.
So what happens in New York is... Yes, I'm discriminating, yes.
But also, like, bikini bottoms, like those really, really, like, G-string bathing suit bottoms, like, it doesn't, you don't have to be Brazilian to wear a Brazilian bikini.
You know, this is sadly how this goes, and Giuliani's not going to be the last person.
And I talked to some of Trump's lawyers about this, too, because people They don't seem to understand the true nature of the political world that we exist in until they reach certain levels, right?
And so, when they came after InfoWars for censorship, and I mean, what was the number they hit Alex with?
Like, oh, we're suing Alex for three trillion dollars!
It absolutely will, because I've been saying this for a long time.
There are so many people who think if I just turn my lights off and hide under the covers, the angry mob that's going door-to-door smashing everything will skip over my house.
No, it won't.
So, here's a guy sitting in front of me, Owen, who yelled some things on a bullhorn, and they literally used that in sentencing documents.
Yeah, we had a stage that was back behind, I think it was on the northeast side of the Capitol.
We had a stage set up.
We were going to be speaking.
I was one of the speakers.
There were other big speakers that were going to be a part of that.
And we were going from the ellipsis from Trump's speech.
To our speaking stage.
That was our route.
And when we saw all the chaos at the Capitol, we said, hey, we got to stop this.
So we got on horns to try to stop it.
That's all on video.
We talked to the Capitol police and said, hey, what can we do?
We want to work with you to try to stop this.
That's all on video as well.
The government even acknowledges this in their sentencing memo against me that I didn't go in and that I did try to stop it.
And I did say we were there to be peaceful, but the higher ups said, no, you're still going to make an example out of Schroer.
But, you know, I think We can get into my personal case, Tim, if we want, but here's the larger picture that needs to be understood, and this goes beyond just the realm of the political world.
There is no incentive for justice in our justice system whatsoever.
The incentive from the U.S.
attorneys and the prosecuting attorneys is convictions.
That's their incentive.
They overcharge you drastically, hoping or assuming they're going to get a plea out of you, which most of the time they do, so they keep their conviction rates high.
98, 99, 100% so they think they can get a better job, climb the ladder.
Their incentive is convictions, not justice.
Then you have the bench, the judge.
Their incentive is imprisonment.
Gotta fill the prisons.
Gotta prove you're going to put the bad guys away.
Justice never comes into the frame here.
Justice is never even entering into the conversation.
And let me tell you, from somebody who's been there, there's three tables here.
There's the judge's bench, there's the prosecuting attorney, and then there's you.
And until you've sat in that corner, and you've witnessed this be done to you, and you've sat there and watched a judge and a prosecuting attorney sit there and never even consider justice, The feeling of loneliness and isolation when you realize there is no justice here.
Justice was never the concern.
The concern from the attorneys was conviction and the concern from the judge was imprisonment.
You never had a shot.
There is no justice in the justice system anymore.
I think it's just more blatant in that You know, look, the left plays to win.
I make this point all the time, and this is, I think, why they're able to get the dubs it is that they're able to get, because they rely upon the people on the other side, even if it's, like, whether they're center or the right or whatever it is that you want to call them.
Where you still kind of have some sort of belief, some sort of, there's some sanctity in sort of these institutions, whether it be from the police officers on up to the prosecution.
It's like, this is the way we do thing.
And at the end of the day, um, morals will prevail.
Um, justice will prevail.
And that's just not, that's to be fair, has never been the reality.
Obviously you being in a, in a situation, it is that you, you've been, you've seen it sort of firsthand.
It's like, Nobody's coming to save me, and all of these guys are against me.
Like, the system is literally rigged against you, and especially when you're dealing with emoral people that have absolutely no problem with weaponizing that institution against you.
People that watch me know I use this all the time.
It's like, you're going into a boxing ring, right?
And you're entering it in, and that...
The person on the opposite side of you that you're supposed to be fighting 1v1 has already told you, look, my gloves are loaded, I bought off the judges, I bought off the ref, and I'm about to cheat.
And what the instinct of the non-leftists is to still go into it with fairness because we look at it like, well, this is how we're supposed to act.
We don't want to be like the enemy.
The problem is is that the enemy has no problem kicking you in, in, in the,
you know, midsection, they have no issues with doing that.
So that's a harsh reality that we all kind of have to have to face.
But I think once more people realize that we can actually start to come up with
some sort of solution and some sort of plan of attack of attack,
but people need to realize that this is how the justice system is aligned.
This is the way that it is sort of rigged, um, against you from the prosecution on up and on, on down.
It's not there to serve justice.
It's not there to sort of reach some sort of conclusion that is supposed to be
the, the just one. That's not the way that it is designed.
Well, this is why I think Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign is actually
the most important campaign right now, even more so than Donald Trump's,
because You know, the right wing has always had this weird, and it kind of deals with they want to support law enforcement, but supporting law enforcement or police and wanting justice, you know, reform, justice system reform and prison reform need to be two completely separate issues.
They need to be two completely separate issues and conservatives need to get this.
And that's why Vivek Ramaswamy really going hard against the federal establishment is so important because this is a winning issue.
And what conservatives need to realize is that justice reform is a winning issue.
You will win.
I mean, I don't want to get too politically wonky here, but it's an issue that they've let the left dominate, they've let the Democrats dominate for so long, and it's time for them to get in there.
And Vivek, I think, presents it really well.
And I mean, I still suspect Donald Trump gets the nomination.
If he wins, I hope he makes Vivek in charge of some special committee or something to just completely abolish like 95% of these federal institutions that are so corrupted.
Conservatives and Republican politicians need to stop being afraid of their own shadow.
You know you're the side of law enforcement, that's fine.
But justice reform and prison reform are completely separate issues and it's a winning issue.
You will win a lot of votes if you can properly verbalize and vocalize how you will attack these issues.
Well, I'll put it to you like this, because it's very complex, and I could go on forever based off what I've learned from the top to the bottom here, but I'll try to put it simply.
When I was in prison, the Bureau of Prisons had a hearing in front of Congress where my name got brought up by Matt Gaetz, thank goodness.
And they were asking for $2 billion.
So they want $2 billion more because they have staff problems and they have infrastructure problems.
And believe me, they do.
I'm showering in showers that have black mold in them.
I'm dealing with staff in the prisons that, I mean, they lost like $2,000 worth of my property.
I mean, I can go on and on and on.
So the issues are real.
But we all know if they put two thousand, excuse me, two billion dollars more into the Bureau of Prisons, do you think that's going to improve a damn thing?
No, it's not going to improve a damn thing.
So what needs to be done, if they need two billion more dollars annually, what they need to do is a little math, find out what annually, how many prisoners annually equals to two billion dollars and release them all tomorrow.
Release every single one of them all tomorrow.
There should not be a single non-violent criminal in prison.
That's our problem here, and maybe that's kind of the springboard for the political argument, if any Republican has the courage to do it, like Vivek.
The springboard needs to be, no non-violent criminals belong in jail.
I mean, really, you can have house arrest, you can have the ankle monitor.
I mean, I would say it like this, because people always ask, well, what is it like in there?
What is it like in there?
We'll do a little Kamala Harris Venn diagram.
I would say, take a Venn diagram, three circles.
You've got a daycare center right here.
You've got an old folks home right here.
And then you've got a concentration camp right here.
And then all the things that they have in similar, boom.
That's what the federal system is like.
Most, I mean, most nights there, it's just a bunch of old men watching TV.
I mean, that's it.
That's it.
They're just sitting around watching TV.
A lot of these guys have kids.
They're fathers.
And they're never going to see their kids again.
And they're just sitting around watching TV, wasting their time where they could be doing it.
So it's really a dramatic issue that until you've seen it firsthand, it's really hard to understand.
They also disappear and they're never found again.
But there's a lot of organs also found there that are readily available.
But that's a different story.
But good point.
I definitely agree with you.
But you brought up a kind of an anarchistic libertarian perspective.
No victim, no crime.
A lot of people on the right are saying we got a back to blue no matter what we got a back the police officers the police officer saying.
I don't care what laws they're going to make up I'm going to enforce them to the fullest extent that I can happily and we've seen a huge transition from from actual criminals going to jail to now political thought criminals going to jail which is.
Absolutely crazy it needs to be addressed in a way because you you you kind of described it as soulless there is a lot of soullessness there is a lot of people who are just like I'm just doing my job there are a lot of Kamala Harris is that believe that they have to make their way up have to of course make their career by putting innocent people behind bars which she did extensively.
Especially when it came to things like marijuana, which is absolutely freaking ridiculous.
So yeah, I agree with you on those larger kind of libertarian sentiments.
I think they would help galvanize the base.
And I think the people who are rooting for back the blue are essentially rooting for their own enslavement and imprisonment.
And maybe the selling point to conservatives or Republicans that are too afraid to do that say, well, I'll tell you what, if you don't have criminal justice reform or prison reform, well, then you're going to end up in prison very soon.
So there's a difference between victimless crime and non-violent crime, like financial crimes, like what Sam Beckman Freed has allegedly done, or maybe he's been convicted of it.
So like, do you also encourage, like you said, non-violent, like high-level financial criminals, do you think they should be let out too?
Oh, but but see I think where you're getting nothing is black and white right obviously nothing is black and white and I think Tim you know you propose a good idea like if you if you go into a smash-and-grab that's a violent crime if you steal if you steal from somebody and that takes food off their table you could argue that that's a violent crime financial crimes like SPF I think that you could reasonably argue, okay, you're going to be maybe on house arrest, but more importantly, every financial activity that you make is now going to be monitored.
What I learned being in there, I'm not the only political prisoner in there.
Now, in the political sphere of media, yes.
People that get arrested for dealing drugs, in my opinion, are political prisoners.
If they worked for a pharmacy, or if they worked for a big pharmaceutical company, you can deal drugs all frickin' day long, and you can make billions of dollars.
Doesn't matter how many people die.
But if you're a street pharmacist... Yeah, but if you deal fentanyl, you're going to jail forever.
Now, I'm not endorsing... this is in no way, shape, or form an endorsement of drug use.
I mean, I would not suggest anybody do this because it's obviously bad for you, but I'm probably taking like 500 milligrams of caffeine a day, but I've built a tolerance to it.
And then I had to drive from that protest to LA, so this is North Dakota to Los Angeles, and I had like two days to do it.
So I was like, I'm not stopping.
And so I was awake for like 28 hours, and I just kept slamming like five-hour energy, and it got to the point that the weirdest- I started hallucinating.
Everything was turning into that, and then there was like a weird texture appearing over things, and I'm like, I'm sitting in the car going like, I think I'm gonna die.
My heart was probably going like a 120 beats per minute or something, and then I just pulled over and I was like, I'm gonna just drink water and then sit.
It binds to the adenosine receptors, adenosine, and those are, so you don't realize you're tired, the caffeine, but you still get really, the fatigue was still tripping you out probably, like you were saying.
Not until I really got into my 30s and it was kind of like a necessity to work as much as I do.
I think that's what happens with people in coffee is they drink coffee all the time.
I just don't like coffee.
So what I'll do is either find an organic source of caffeine or take like a caffeine tablet or resell energy supplements at InfoWars 2 and I'll drink that too.
But again, I'm not telling people to drink 500 milligrams of caffeine a day.
I'm saying you gotta, like, it took me a while to be to the point where, okay, this is kind of where I need to be, where I can function and do everything I need to do during the day and then still be able to sleep.
I've got to cut it off at a certain time, otherwise I won't be able to sleep.
I used to have to drive at like three in the morning to the airport for my job and I'd be super tired and I'd be driving and then all of a sudden like I'm falling asleep but I can't close my eyes, the cars in front of me just like start to turn into That's when you pull over and you should try some vitamin B. A lot of the coffees now, especially at a lot of the major stores, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, they're absolutely filled with some of the worst additives and ingredients and seed oils you could ever have.
But I'm just speaking to the average American out there that is kind of hooked on it, as of course the ingredients in there are truly just absolutely awful.
And I really do believe that they have been Incrementally adding more and more high fructose corn syrup to the point where we become more and more addicted to it, and it's one of the things ailing our society more than, I think, cigarettes, more than anything else that is negative.
Like refined sucrose is, it can, because of the concentrations that they use, that's pretty nasty, but compared to like aspartame and high fructose... Aspartate and fat sugar.
Yes, sweeteners.
These synthetic sweeteners that they might call sugar, but for some reason, I don't know how they can get away with it.
I was looking at like, it was Dow Chemical, I believe, was making high fructose for a while.
I think it was Dow Chemical.
I went to their website and it took me like 20-30 minutes to dig through the website on the process of how to make it.
And they put it in these big tanks and they make it with like a... and then between Creation of the high fructose corn syrup.
They'd have to wash the tanks with a resin and it was like the chemical, I don't want to misspeak, it could have been arsenic, but the chemical that they use to wash the tanks, they don't put on the list of the ingredient of the high fructose, but they put like chemicals in the tank between production to clean the tanks that are probably, I would guess, ending up in the high fructose corn syrup.
for a legal defense of man who decapitated satanic statue in Iowa capital.
My conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic
degree, and so I acted. Now hold on there a minute. We have this tweet from
Matt Walsh.
Matt Walsh, of course, threw down the gauntlet and struck my face with a dueling glove over my opinions on Bud Light.
No, that's totally fine.
But he has an opinion on this.
He says, A satanic altar has no right to exist, certainly not inside a government building.
We are not bound by our principles to sit by impotently while our state houses are turned into platforms for literal devil worship.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
Now, Yeah, I don't like devil worship.
And I think the way you go about stopping something like this is through procedure and policy and not through barbarism.
And so I guess the issue here is Matt Walsh is defending the idea that this guy toppled this altar to Satan and Satanism.
I don't know if it's actually Satan.
It's like Satanism, the religion.
And my attitude is like, dude, I don't see the argument in, if you feel emotionally satisfied with it, it was just.
Because that's the argument made by the left for taking Thomas Jefferson down.
To be fair, Matt Walsh addresses this and says, obviously there's a difference between a revered historical figure who founded components of our country and of our government, and Satan.
But the issue I suppose is, if we are a nation that has a right, no law respecting an establishment of religion, and people are allowed to worship the way they want to worship, then we either say, we do not have religious iconography in state houses, or we have to accept that there's going to be wacky religions we don't like.
Yeah, to me I think that the former has to be a process is always the issue with the whole public property sort of concept is like what do you like you what do you allow versus what it what it is that you don't which is why I believe personally all that stuff needs to be limited because You know, to your point, Tim, you start getting emotional, uh, with it and people, yeah, obviously there's a difference between Thomas Jefferson and freaking Satan, but you know, I still, and you know, to some people, unfortunately that let's say that's in the eye of the, uh, of the beholder.
And so to leave it up to for dispute for any Joe blow to say, Hey, when I'm feeling a certain type of way, I get to do this versus when I don't, you know, that's always going to be a problem, which is why I think the public, the public property thing is, is just a fundamental issue.
And look, I'm a realist at the end of the day, so I get it what Matt
Walsh is kind of, uh, where he's getting at. You know, look, man, the game is not that we were
talking about this in previous segments, man. The game is the game. So, um, you know, when the left,
when they want to, let's say that they'll be in and break the rules, uh, to, to, to mean
whatever it is that they want to mean.
So they don't give a crap about what it is that you hold tight and true to and whatever monuments it is that you have.
If they feel like it's worth them toppling it, they'll use whatever nonsensical laws, perhaps even, to justify their own sort of actions.
So I think, fundamentally, I get it.
You know what I mean?
It's like, hey, I'm playing a game that they playing.
This is why the American left, or more historically speaking, conquering totalitarians, destroy culture.
You see, this shouldn't even be a debate in American culture.
I mean, we can get into the kind of nuance of, oh, well, what do you allow in a government building versus what you don't.
But if we had a culture, if we had a consistent culture, this wouldn't even be a debate.
We wouldn't be talking about should a Christian monument stand or should a historical monument stand.
That would be our culture, and we would agree that's our culture.
Whether we agree with it spiritually, that wouldn't even be up for debate.
A satanic monument shouldn't even be in the debate.
But because they've destroyed our culture, and we've got all this infighting now about, oh, what should be here, what should be there, what's the nuance of all these laws?
Well, At some point, culture kind of would overwhelm all of that.
But because our culture has been destroyed, now we have to sit here and have a debate of, does a satanic statue belong in the government building?
But that's where I think the left sort of differs from the quote-unquote American right, because they don't care about that part, which is why they're such a difficult enemy to fight.
So while, yeah, I don't want to be you and I don't want to become you, it's not going to stop them from kicking me in the nuts when they get a chance.
They have absolutely no issues bastardizing whatever power it is that they sort of have.
Again, like I was saying before, bending and breaking the rules.
So you can go up to them and be like, look, man, I don't want to be you.
I look at you and you're the worst of us all, but in the same respects, on the other hand, they're like, well, I don't care.
Everybody realize this in 2020, or at least you should have.
Um, that should have been a wake up call for everybody when the whole COVID thing and the pro like George Floyd stuff stuff happened.
When the left, literally the day before all this, the riots and whatever took place, they were basically saying, if you went outside, you were going to kill grandma.
And then the next, like out of nowhere, the George Floyd situation happens.
Now everybody's bunched up together and we're walking the streets and they didn't, We knew they were hypocrites!
They didn't care.
That's the thing, and this is what I'm trying to explain to the right in this country.
It's like, look, you are dealing with an enemy that does not abide by the same set of ethics, morals, whatever it is that you want to call them, that you have.
If anything, they will use it against you.
It's like a militant leftist atheist trying to appeal to God when they'll say whatever against God You know, ten minutes before they made their claim, or they'll be like, well, that would be something Jesus would do.
They do that stuff because they're trying to weaponize your own morals.
And this is why the heads of those universities, when they were asked about the calls for genocide of the Jews, immediately said, well, the Constitution protects.
They routinely defy the principle of free speech, our constitutional protections, and then the moment someone questions some abhorrent thing they want to say, they immediately run and hide behind the Constitution.
And I don't really, I'm not going to pretend like I know all the answers.
This is what I'm saying.
That's such a difficult enemy.
To combat, right?
Because again, it's like I'm going into it and I'm trying to be ethical with this, but I also have to understand that you're not playing by those same set of rules.
You'll hold me to those standards if it means that it's advantageous to you.
But at the end of the day, it's not anything that you're going to follow.
Delusion, I think, is more the accurate term to what it is.
It's like, I get it, you want to believe that the world is the way that it's actually not, but For the sanctity of our, or really for our own sanity.
It's like, we need this to be true.
It's like what we talk about with, uh, whether it be with police officers, whether it be with the, uh, judicial system, whatever it may be, you like to think that these people are better than us.
They are the best of us.
They're not.
I mean, you can see all the examples and how they're not, if anything, they're like worst of us.
Uh, like I say, with the Congress really being a band full of absolute criminals, but in order for us to get by in life, It's comforting to believe this idea that the world is something that it's absolutely not.
And like I said, it's just such a, it's such a difficult enemy to combat because they're just not going to play fair.
And then they tell you that they have no issues being like, yeah, I was a hypocrite to what I did, what I said yesterday.
I said, we said that you were going to kill grandmas.
We told y'all hell we even arrested some of y'all if it came down to it, but now we're going to link up and we're going to protest.
And yeah, it's okay.
In fact, they were using the medical institution to, Try to justify what it was it is that they were doing when they were linking up despite them telling you that this was something that was criminal when you did it.
That shows that they just don't care.
unidentified
There were scientific articles, there was mainline scientists and the corporate media saying this is going to help Yes, they were saying that the numbers were going down because all of these people were marching together despite them yesterday saying you were killing grandma when you did.
Part of the issues I got with the satanic altar thing that Matt Walsh was talking about is that I think what started it all was that someone came in and, quote, defaced the, what was it, in Congress somewhere, by putting up the Ten Commandments, technically because you're not supposed to put up any religious text in that building.
So they start, someone started it by putting up the Ten Commandments.
Now, I don't necessarily disagree with the Ten Commandments, and I find that Satan is probably Considerably more evil, relatively, in general society than the Ten Commandments, but it seems like the satanic thing was like a response to, well, you put up your religion, I'm gonna put up my religion.
I don't know exactly what the impetus was, but, I mean, the Temple of Satan, the Satanic Temple, is now legally a religion, since, I don't know when, the last 20 years or something.
Because why'd they let the... But that's my point is I don't think it is against organized religion in general because I think we all agree if it was Muslim I definitely don't agree with tearing it down.
Right, what I mean is, I'm not- It's a BLM procedure.
What they're trying to do is they're gonna go to Normies and say, look at what Matt Walsh says when a guy destroys our statue, and then they pretend they care about statues being removed?
They're gonna make a false equivalency.
Now, Matt is correct, they're not the same thing.
But I think what I would say he's missing here is, we're trying to convince regular people we are right.
They are playing this dirty game where they hold their hand in front of your face and saying, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you.
And then when you swat their hand away, they post a video online saying, guy punches peaceful activist.
Well, let me just kind of switch lanes on this issue then.
For this guy who I believe is running for Congress in Mississippi, the guy that smashed the satanic altar... He is?
I believe so.
Whatever we think about the action that he had that day, I would say as a Republican voter and as somebody who's looking for somebody with a spine in the Republican Party in Congress, I say good.
That's the exact type of person I want in Congress.
Because they're not going to take any crap and they're actually going to do the things that Republican voters have been wanting their conservative representation to do forever.
My concern is if it inspires people to do it again, and then, like, I have something on my lawn and someone comes up and they're like, I don't like it, and they smash it down on my lawn.
Yeah I think this debate is very important right now because I think we're dealing with a situation where a lot of the people within the DOJ and FBI want to provoke a certain situation they want I think the people on the right to be angry they are acting in a very litigious unfair way and with them now going after journalists we were talking about this a couple days ago.
It's almost as if they're trying to provoke the people on the right to overreact.
So while I understand that there is obviously going to be instances where it is important to not necessarily act like, let's say, your opponent is going to act.
I just think you have to be a little more analytical than just like, hey, you're the bad guy and you're acting in a certain way and I don't want to be that guy.
I think you have to be more strategic with it.
It's like, look, in a given instance where it is going to be advantageous for you to act a certain way long term, you got to take the game for what it is.
We can't be, I think us, Trying to be too idealistic about it is how they got so much ground because we looked at it like, oh, we're the more analytical guys, right?
We do things the right way.
Meanwhile, the left kind of comes in stomping around, flipping tables, doing whatever the hell it is that they want.
And to be fair, it's worked for them.
I mean, they've gotten what it is that they wanted.
So it's like, I believe there's an appropriate response to where, yeah, you don't want to just be a leftist.
I don't think that doesn't help anybody.
But in the same respect, you've got to understand what the actual game is.
And as I always say, act It doesn't mean act like them, it means do not go into a game that is unfair trying to play fair, because you're going to lose every single time.
It's the difference between du jour law and de facto rule.
Du jour rule, and this is a French term, du jour means by law, de facto means by fact.
So you may own a property du jour, the law, you have the paperwork, but if someone goes and sits in that house and takes it and won't let you in, Then they own it by de facto.
By fact, you don't own it anymore.
And if all you do is just play the du jour game and you're like, well, I have the paperwork, therefore it's mine, but two weeks, two months, two years go by and you can't get into your house, then you're playing asymmetrical.
It is sad that that is reality, but that is reality.
Look what happened to Owen, which I think we should be talking about your particular case more, because as you said, now a lot of other journalists are going to be arrested and prosecuted because of what you went through.
And really, it's not just the journalists, because there's no doubt they're going to use this as a precedent to go after other journalists, but I also think they want to snuff out any right-wing activism as well.
They don't just want to snuff out any journalism that may go against the establishment.
In this case, it's the left-wing establishment.
But they also want to snuff out any activism from conservatives as well.
And so I think it's really a two-pronged issue.
The journalism one is obviously the one that gets the focus and the one that has more of the press at this point.
But it's definitely at an activist level as well.
I think the real reason why the Democrat Party hates me so much is they couldn't imagine if there were a hundred of me, a thousand of me, a million of me, they wouldn't exist.
They'd be done.
They wouldn't be able to have any of these shams going on because When the Democrats show up to the Capitol, what do they do?
They bring a thousand people wearing the pink vagina hats.
They bring a thousand people for a pro-Palestinian protest.
They bring a thousand people to chant against Amy Coney Barrett or Brett Kavanaugh.
I was one man.
I was one man that stood up against the Trump impeachment sham.
It's not like I'm the only one that knew it was a sham.
It's not like I was the only one in that room that knew it was the sham.
But they kind of see me as like this Spartacus where, oh, if other people think they can be Owen Schroer, if other people think they can stand up and tell the Democrat what for and why, then we got to snuff that out now.
We got to shut him down now.
We can't have this Marcus Aurelius showing up in Washington, D.C.
Well, we are going to be taking my appeal to the Supreme Court.
That is where it's going to end up, as far as its fate there.
I think it's still a little too far off or foggy to know what the fate there might be.
But, you know, my case has recently gotten attention because of my prison sentence, obviously.
But the truth is, I've been politically persecuted by the American left and the Democrat Party Since 2019, really since 2018, when they censored me off of all the mainstream social media platforms, they arrested me for disrupting Congress, which again, this is something that happens all the time.
David Hogg disrupted Congress.
He stood up during a hearing on gun violence and disrupted Congress.
Now, is David Hogg gonna get charged and go to jail?
No, of course not!
And I would argue he shouldn't.
I don't think he should.
I believe that's David Hogg's First Amendment right.
When all them show up and they disrupt Congress for whatever reason, for abortion, climate change, all this other stuff, do they get charged?
Do they get arrested?
98% of the time, no, they don't.
The only time they will is if they resist arrest or assault a police officer.
Then they'll get arrested.
What normally happens in that situation And this is what would have happened to me.
They detain you, they escort you out of the building, and then they release you on your merry way and say you're not welcome here again today.
But somebody got on the walkie-talkie for the Capitol Police that December in 2019 and said, oh no, no, no, you're arresting Schroer.
You're charging him and arresting him.
And even the Capitol Police were like, what the heck?
I did another one.
There were 40-50 Trump protesters inside the Capitol.
This was in the beginning of 2020, January 2020.
40-50 Trump protesters inside the Capitol.
I go there to interview them.
The next day, I showed up with a piece of tape over my mouth that said censored.
I got arrested.
I spent 36 hours in jail for that.
Now the next day, when that charge reached the judge's docket, he threw it out and completely dismissed it.
So I don't have any charges for that.
But the point is, 40-50 Trump protesters can be in there in the Capitol.
Pro-Trump protester stands there with a piece of tape over his mouth.
He gets arrested.
And so really all of that was the background and that's why they put me in jail.
I talked to Jacob Chansley earlier today who was the American shaman who was also at the Capitol.
We did an interview on my channel on YouTube, which was nice.
And I was like, I think the thing about protest is the evolution of protesting right now is it's good to be out on the street yelling like, thing is bad, thing is bad, but you just kind of want to acknowledge the thing and then offer your solution.
And the protest, the forward testament, the pro, the positive, that's the real protest.
The idea that you want to scream about bad has to go away.
Obviously you want to educate people what it is, but offer them the solution, and I think you can do it online.
There is online censorship, unfortunately, but a lot of times when you're not screaming, thing is bad on the internet, you don't get censored.
If you're screaming, this is the solution, people listen, and that's a great way to shift protests.
I remember there was a couple other protests that were happening a couple months ago, and everyone online is saying, hey, don't show up.
There's going to be feds that are going to infiltrate and cause an event just like they did on this one particular date.
Don't show up.
Don't do it.
So this works in many different ways.
I think the fear aspect is one of the most important ones, and this is why I think, oh, and it's so important for you to come out and talk and say, hey, I made it through.
They put me in the system.
I made it out.
I'm stronger.
I'm better than ever.
That message is so important because it shows us, OK, they could go after you.
They could punish you.
But guess what?
You're going to come out on the other side.
You're still are going to be there no matter what they kind of throw at you.
That message is more important.
I don't know if you would probably say it a little bit better, but I want to kind of leave this kind of open ended statement for you.
And kind of where do you see things going from here?
Well, I would just say that I've kind of just lived that.
I mean, I haven't stopped talking since I got out.
I mean, I've probably done 20 or so interviews.
I'm here tonight on this show.
It's going to get millions of views.
You know, I would say that...
It's something that's hard to deal with when you're in there, right?
It's something that's hard to deal with when you're actually in there, but if you truly believe in your cause and you truly believe in your actions, then you can find that this is not going to be done in vain, that there is going to be a positive result on the other side of this.
And I mean, maybe there will be something big in my case, maybe not, but I think that at least As far as getting the issues out and getting the message out and getting the awareness out, it's already had a major impact.
I mean, they brought it up at the BOP hearing, and now a lot of members of Congress and presidential candidates are kind of reevaluating this whole situation.
Not just with January 6th, But just overall, the persecution that goes on in this country and the situation that people are facing locked away in jails when it's non-violent criminals, victimless crime criminals.
But to answer your question, I would much rather, I don't want my fate To be controlled or I don't want my image to be controlled by the people that hate me and want to silence me.
I want to be the one that controls it.
So like you said, I don't want people to say, oh, I'm afraid to talk or oh, I'm afraid to do this or I'm afraid to take action.
I'm afraid to do a protest.
I want people to say no, I want to do it even more now.
I think it's important that I stand for my cause and I think it's important that I don't live in fear.
When I'm doing this.
It's important that I don't censor myself.
I don't have this chilling effect or I don't stay home thinking this is the safe thing for me to do is just stay out of the way.
So I'm hoping that that my story goes that way instead of the way certainly the Democrats or the establishment wanted as they see my case and they say, oh, I've got to shut up now.
I hope people see my case and they say, oh, I've got to get louder now.
I was going to talk about the discretion of using the internet, talking on the internet.
Cause the internet's pretty new and people are still figuring out how to use it.
Cause like, I'll sit around and war game with my friends and be like, well what I really think about what that government did with that is this false flag thing.
And this could have happened and it's very likely or possible that this, but when I go on the internet, I don't want to say that out loud because in case I'm wrong.
And a lot of times I'm like, I'm pretty sure I'm right, but just in case I'm wrong, it could cause like death and destruction and incompatibility.
And I don't want to, I don't want to do that.
And I also think it's people are watching and listening and they're like, I hope he's not sick.
But like, It's just there's more of a responsibility when the cameras are on.
If someone hacks you talking on your Alexa and they hear it and then they post you're talking, you didn't put it on the internet.
Someone else did and they're responsible for that message.
But if you proactively put your message out there and you're just spitballing, there's a lot of responsibility behind that.
So I've been kind of quiet about like wargaming, like the military, because like the conflicts on earth right now.
I want to talk about what's going on in Israel.
I just don't do it on the internet because I don't know.
I don't have the proof, and I'm not even going to question that stuff.
It's just war is a different game, because there are no rules and that kind of thing, and I don't want to bring that down upon myself.
And I've been thinking about that since the Israeli conflict, since October 7th.
I mean, I received, I don't know how many, at least 500, maybe closer to a thousand.
And just reading the positive words from people, supportive words from people.
Some people got really personal, like telling me extremely personal stories.
Some people told me war stories.
Some people, you know, talked about struggles that they went through.
Some people who had been in prison before talked about things that they did to get through their time.
So really it was just, it was the people.
And, you know, I said that, I've said this a couple times.
Because I understand why people lose faith in the American people or even in the idea of America with everything that we're going through, but reading that from people and some of the people I talked to on the inside, both workers at the prison and the inmates, my faith in the American people was reaffirmed.
I mean, it truly was.
I have a deep faith in the American people.
I really do.
I think at the end of the day, I mean, that's what built this country was the people that lived here.
It was the American people.
And it's going to have to be the American people that restore it or rebuild it from everything that's been ripped out from under us.
I mean, you look at our major, some of the greatest cities in the world at one point, St.
Louis, Baltimore, Chicago.
Major cities.
They've been destroyed.
They've been destroyed.
We've been lapped by cities in the Middle East and cities in China and the Far East.
Why?
Because it's been stolen and it's been destroyed.
I believe that we can rebuild.
I believe that we can restore.
And I believe that the American people still has the soul and the spirit to do it.
We've just kind of been asleep.
We've kind of been in a trance.
We've kind of been poisoned by the food and the water.
But I do believe it's possible.
It's going to be the American people.
It's not going to be the President of the United States.
It's not going to be anybody in Congress.
That's how we help ourselves politically, but it's going to have to be the American people that rebuild this.
We need good policy, obviously, but ultimately my faith in the American people was restored.
I mean, the letters that I got were just, I mean, truly they were inspirational.
They got me through some of the hardest times, really.

Tenacious D, they were actually singing about Stairway to Heaven.
And if you see their original HBO special where Tenacious D got their start, they play a little Stairway to Heaven riff, but then when they made the movie, they didn't have the copyright, so they had to make a song up.

I've been trying to buy ads on Google and they're just in pending review and I'm like, that's weird.
Normally when we run ads it's like instantly just it goes, this one not so much.
But we are running ads on X as well and so far we have $45,000 in ads on X for the song because like I said we're going to be spending, I pledged advertisements on X, we're doing it and we're going to do more.
Those are front-facing, so whenever you look at the numbers displayed on any YouTube video, the actual numbers behind the scene could be three to five times higher.
I mean, I gotta be honest, Only Ever Wanna did better than I realized it did.
Yeah, like, it actually did remarkably well.
And when we compare it to the metrics for our later music, earlier music, and other stuff that other people have put out, I'm like, wow, actually, that song did really good.
The response was really great, too.
People were interested for whatever reason.
All right, Daniel Galazzo says, Alex Jones Infowars is getting DDoSed.
Pretty Much Media says, Tim and Eric, my partner and I are working on creating a media company to make comics, cartoons, and music video games, and music and video games.
We're about to launch a campaign for a graphic novel.
Any advice for building up to be a successful company?
Look, with I don't want people to get the wrong idea, you know, looking at our success and thinking kind of it's just one of those things that just happened and it's not, you know, I've been kind of building doing creative things for the better part of the last 18 years or so.
So I think that that's kind of where you start.
And that's kind of being personable, interacting with people, building some sort of audience
of people that you can depend on, building that rapport.
And in order to sort of do that, you kind of have to deliver, not kind of, you absolutely
have to deliver on whatever product it is that you're going to put out there.
So my advice, shout out to you and your aspirations, but my advice would be to pick one of those.
I guess you said the graphic novel, you're starting with that.
That's a great place to start.
Just make sure it's the best of your ability, doesn't need to be perfect, but make sure
it's to the best of your ability and take that thing serious because that's going to
be your first impression from, from the book.
from your audience.
So don't cut any slack or any corner, excuse me, with anything it is that you do.
But you're going to have to get out there and be a lot more interactive.
Call Me Josh says, I suppose the Slippery Slope fallacy isn't really a fallacy at all, is it?
I mean, here we are living the nightmare.
Acceptance doesn't mean we have to accept everything.
I mean, that's one meme people were putting out there where it was like, 2008, hey look, just because two people who love each other want to get married doesn't mean they're gonna go bang in the Senate floor or something like that.
Some of them knew who I was before I even got in there and liked me.
Some of them knew who I was before I got in there and didn't like me, but that was a lot smaller of a number.
By day 10, pretty much everybody in there knew who I was and had an opinion one way or the other.
The amount of times I heard, I'm just doing my job, like, hey, I love you and what you do, but I'm just doing my job, is far too many to count.
Um, unfortunately, so, you know, here's what it, here's where, this is why it's not necessarily about me.
The treatment that I received in prison is what most people in prison experience at some time or in some way, shape or form.
But because I'm blessed with a large following and a large platform, you're just hearing about what I went through.
My story, the solitary, I mean, there's all kinds of stories.
They stole or lost all my property, just all the craziness.
And by the way, I'm writing a book about all this.
It'll probably come out next year.
All the crap that I went through, just generally speaking, a lot of the treatment of prisoners is, you're just a number, you're not a human, nobody gives a crap about you, nobody on the inside gives a crap about you, nobody on the outside gives a crap about you, we can do whatever the hell we want to you and none of it matters.
But because I have a large platform and a large following, a lot of what I had to go through and I experienced is actually coming out and making it to the front.
So I mean, really, just generally speaking, Prisoners are not treated with much respect or dignity at all.
And we're talking about non-violent criminals, we're talking about victimless crime criminals, we're talking about people who have families waiting for them at home.
They really are just treated with very little respect and dignity.
And so, it's really a sad thing.
And that's not even a political thing about me.
I mean, there were definitely probably some people in there that didn't like my politics and maybe wanted to make it as hard on me as possible.
But it was kind of far, few and far between.
Generally speaking, prisoners are disrespected.
And look, if you're a high-level prisoner and you killed or raped somebody, then you know what?
I'm not really shedding a tear for you or you're a child molester or stuff like that.
I'm not really shedding a tear for those people.
It's just amazing how you're completely discounted as a human and any human emotions or feelings that you might have as a prisoner just completely discounted and they treat you like you need to just be numb to all this and you just have to accept that you're a prisoner and you're going to be treated like this.
So, you know, my treatment Had a bunch of curveballs and knuckleballs, but really, for my 47 days, I just experienced everything.
Somehow, I just experienced everything that prisoners experience every day.
And so, the larger story isn't really about me.
It's that we desperately need prison reform.
I mean, it's desperate.
A lot of the higher-ups at these prisons... I'll close it like this.
There's three types of people that work at prisons.
There's the incompetent and inept people, the stereotype of they just nap on the job, and then there's the power trippers.
And any time they get a chance to just trip on their power and just put you in your place and feel good about themselves, they're going to do it every time and then some.
And then there's the friendlies.
If you respect them, they're going to respect you.
But just generally speaking, my story is one thing, but Prisoners, a lot of these prisoners, non-violent criminals, victimless crime criminals, they're just, they're treated like subhumans, they're disrespected, they're discounted, they barely even get a scrap of dignity the way they're treated in there, and so it's not just about me.
It's a story that I'm gonna have to tell my story, but it's really what goes on in these prisons every day.
Like, if instead of, like, just relying on 450 representatives, if each of those 700,000 people, they each have one representative, could, like, vote on a smart contract, yes or no, and then that would go to a system, and then that one That thing would go yes or no.
So you don't have these representatives that get bribed.
You would remove that corruption source from the system.
That could be one potential minor solution in some way.
I think the biggest problem is those guards you mentioned who are like, hey man, I'm just doing my job.
That is... If I was gonna say, like, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is it's not really a problem at all, things are pretty good, and 10 is it's the worst problem our society faces, those guards are a 10.
You can talk about, like, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and all that, and those are, like, 7, 8s and 9s to varying degrees.
Like, big problems for our society.
But the only reason any of it exists is because good men do nothing.
But these spineless cowards who are like, I like what you do, and I believe in you, and you're right, and now I'm going to facilitate the evil of this nation while staring you in the eyes.
Well, Tim, I'm glad that you Show the emotion on this topic because it's really something that's hard to encapsulate, especially when I've dealt with it so many times.
The first time when they arrested me and they all knew it was wrong, they knew it was wrong.
They said, I'm sorry, but I'm just doing my job.
The second time they arrested me and they knew it was wrong.
Sorry, I'm just doing my job.
The third time, like you're saying, when I'm gone, even some of the FBI guys that came and were dealing with my indictment said, sorry, I'm just doing my job.
You say it, when you're staring it in the face and that actually happens to you, it's impossible to explain.
I'm not so mad at her, I gotta be honest, because she's on camera being like, they stopped me, I was trying to do it, and it's a 50-50 situation where it's like, well, you should have still done something, but maybe she was the one who leaked it, I don't know.
It's different if she said something like, so I helped them cover it up.
Then I'd be like, OK, she's evil.
But she didn't.
She said she wanted to get it out.
And she had the story and she's pissed.
They suppressed it on her.
And then, well, shout out to James O'Keefe for doing the hard work.
Well, this is why we call them the, you know, Luke will fill me on this, why we call them Especially the enforcers, the teeth, right?
Other States.
So we can, you mentioned Pelosi, or we talk about AOC or whoever it is at the end of the day, the guys that does that are going to be front lines.
And the first conflict it is that you are going to have is with the police.
There's just a, no matter what the conflict it is, it, that's going to be the first line of defense.
And if, you know, they, were on their stuff, let's just say that, and they actually believed they were serving and protecting the individuals within this geographical area, they would just simply say no.
And again, this isn't my quote, but the old quote is, Tom was talking about this, it's like, hey, they talk about doing their jobs, right?
And I guess the answer to that is maybe you shouldn't.
Sparks says, Tim, if Disney signed a $100 million deal with X, would you also call that a quote, win?
That one's a bit more tough, because Disney was already advertising on X, so there's nothing, there's no rectifying anything.
Uh, I would call it a win.
Would I call it absolute victory or anything like that?
Well, I don't know about that.
I'd say winning doesn't mean you won the war.
Sometimes you win the battles and sometimes you make small gains.
So, if there's a major, uh, like, there's a major battlefield with the Confederates and the Union soldiers, and the Confederates, you know, open fire and take out a commander, would you call that a win?
Well, like, in the colloquial sense of, like, it was good for them at the time.
It doesn't mean they won the battle.
Then the Union comes in and crushes them, you know what I mean?
But my point is simply, did you guys see what Sean Strickland tweeted out today?
And he's a champion, so that money goes to him, and when he's made political statements in the past, he said, brought to you by Bud Light, in some manner of speaking, so like...
Because even though InBev, which is based in Belgium, bought Anheuser-Busch, I guess it was like 10 years ago or so now, most of the, a lot of the creative decisions still come out of St.
Louis, Missouri, my hometown, so I still know a lot of people in that process.
I wouldn't say there's a civil war within, you know, Bud Light or their marketing team, but let's just say there's like You're hard conservative wing inside and then there's like, oh, we got to cater to the left for all these marketing purposes inside.
And they're kind of always like showing each other numbers and saying, look, you were miserable over here or look, we should have done this.
So it's kind of a back and forth with all of it.
So it doesn't surprise me that Bud Light, when they see this stuff, they're like, let him go.
We're not we're not touching this.
We already suffered a billion dollar market cap with that, you know, gay tranny, whatever.

We are trying to force them to acknowledge that we drive sales.
We have an impact, and we have a bigger impact than many other artists who struggle to even get anywhere where we are.
I'll tell you this.
Right now, Forward Facing, the music video has like 200 and some odd K. That's bigger than many mainstream signed bands already.
And they keep just telling us to screw ourselves, so we're just going to keep pushing.
I got released from jail, and then I got released from the Twitter jail right afterwards.
It was great.
So my personal account is back, at all I do is Owen, and then for my political media, we share stuff like this, clips from this show that I'm on, TimCast, the clips we'll put there, at Owen Schroer 1776.

So if you want to see the salacious, A very perfect shirt for family gatherings and this holiday season.
