you you | |
| you so we all remember that story where a wave of criminal | ||
| aliens attacked the National Guard to storm their way into the United States | ||
| The judge has now dismissed the riot charges against all 140 illegal immigrants, saying there's no real probable cause to charge these people with a crime. | ||
| And if you want to bring a charge, you're going to have to prove that to a grand jury. | ||
| So it just seems like there's no border, I suppose. | ||
| These people are literally on camera attacking National Guard and they said there's no probable cause to justify this. | ||
| I suppose the argument is, well, how do we know? | ||
| The individual himself! | ||
| I suppose the issue is, if they are illegal immigrants, why are we pausing, questioning whether or not they committed a secondary crime when they're already illegally entering the country and should be deported? | ||
| But that's what's happening, so we'll talk about all that. | ||
| Plus, we've got news for the Trump trial. | ||
| This one's fascinating. | ||
| They're basically saying that this is a trial not about the hush money payment itself as falsifying records, but of election interference. | ||
| Because Donald Trump was conspiring, in fact, to suppress information that was negative about him. | ||
| And that's not illegal. | ||
| But they're arguing it was interfering with an election. | ||
| Let me just break that down for you. | ||
| What they're saying is Donald Trump doing PR Interfered in the election. | ||
| That's the argument they're making. | ||
| That's why Trump is being charged. | ||
| And the Gaza anti-Israel protests are expanding into more universities. | ||
| Funding is being pulled from some big top donors. | ||
| And it's going to be real interesting how these universities react. | ||
| Columbia, it seems, is siding with the protesters. | ||
| They're going to lose a lot of money because of it, but I don't think they want to lose their customer base. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| But before we get started, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee. | ||
| Wine. | ||

| Right on. | ||
| Hannah Clare's hanging out. | ||
| Hey, I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow. | ||
| I'm a writer for scnr.com. | ||
| I'm happy to be back. | ||
| Phil Labonte's here tonight. | ||
| Hello, everybody. | ||
| My name is Phil Labonte. | ||
| I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. | ||
| I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. | ||
| Serge. | ||
| Yo, I am here. | ||
| Hopefully everything works tonight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's go to it. | |
| Hopefully! | ||
| All right, well, here's the first story. | ||
| We've got this one from the Post Millennial. | ||
| Judge dismisses riot charges against 140 illegal immigrants accused of rushing the border in El Paso. | ||
| Quote, I don't believe there is probable cause for these individuals to continue to be detained for the offense of riot participation. | ||
| Which basically means they're being released as well. | ||
| On Monday, a judge in El Paso, Texas dismissed the cases of 140 illegal immigrants charged in connection with a border riot that took place when the illegal immigrants stormed border patrol agents at the U.S.-Mexico border. | ||
| All 140 still face federal charges stemming from their illegal entry into the country. | ||
| Though most illegal immigrants are given a court date some years into the future and released into the domestic U.S., the Biden administration often offers free flights for these individuals to cities and states across the country. | ||
| Now I suppose the argument is, how do you know this particular individual rioted? | ||
| And that's the argument that happened in DC in 2017 when the far left rioted during Trump's inauguration. | ||
| They asked the police, how do you know that individual right there was part of that group? | ||
| And they were like, well, we arrested him in the group. | ||
| And they're like, but you don't know what they did. | ||
| It must be just a humble man wearing a black hoodie and a mask and black jeans. | ||
| And it was a coincidence they were there. | ||
| So the police tried getting them on, and the DA tried going after them for conspiracy. | ||
| And the courts ultimately ruled, you can't charge an individual for the actions of an amorphous mass. | ||
| And that's basically what's happening here. | ||
| Because the illegal immigrants invaded the country by force, attacking National Guard, a single illegal immigrant can't be charged for it. | ||
| So they're allowed into the country, they will be released, and their charges will be dropped. | ||
| Tim, can I ask you a question? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, of course. | |
| Were any of them cannibals by chance? | ||
| Just out of curiosity. | ||
| We don't know, but I would assume. | ||
| Not that you could charge him for that, but it's just a curiosity. | ||
| Just saying. | ||
| We don't even charge them for entering the country illegally, let alone rioting at the border. | ||
| We wouldn't charge them for anything because this is how the Biden administration handles illegal immigration into this country, despite the fact that it costs the average American worker tens of thousands of dollars. | ||
| I mean, it's such a slap in the face of the average American to see this come up. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Not just the workers, but you look at the crime that they end up causing. | ||
| You look at lives that are taken unnecessarily because people who were told not to enter here and disrespected our country's laws every step along the way are allowed to stay. | ||
| So was there any video at all? | ||
| Because it looked like they videoed everything. | ||
| Shouldn't that be admissible? | ||
| It's like, hey, these guys really were, you know, wearing masks. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Were they wearing masks during that? | ||
| Many of the people who attacked the guards were wearing masks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And so the argument then becomes, well, how do you know that was him? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so, of course, non-citizens have due process rights under the Constitution, same as everybody else. | ||
| So you can't charge them with attacking the National Guard and illegally invading the country. | ||
| illegal and illegally invading the country. | ||
| I love this quasi-warfare reality that we're currently in where Ukraine is not the US versus | ||
| Russia because the Americans that are fighting there are fighting there privately of their | ||
| own volition and US troops aren't actually fighting, they're just providing intel. | ||
| So we are not at war. | ||
| And then you have citizens of a foreign nation attacking our National Guard at the border, | ||
| as individuals. | ||
| So there is no- There's no invasion. | ||
| Don't worry. | ||
| Yeah, just millions of people pouring through the border. | ||
| It hasn't been formally declared. | ||
| January 6th was an insurrection, right? | ||
| But this is not an invasion. | ||
| No, they're just coming to shop at Walmart. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| They're just coming. | ||
| They're Walmart shoppers who are masked because they don't want to get any sort of infections. | ||
| Well, you know, the reality is they are. | ||
| One of the interviews during the migrant caravan a few years ago, the LA Times asked one of the migrants in the caravan why they were coming and he says, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings. | ||
| And I was just like, there's Buffalo Wild Wings in Mexico City. | ||
| Sounds like he's seeking asylum to me. | ||
| That guy really needs our help. | ||
| They got B-dubs in Mexico City. | ||
| I went there. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| It's cruel and unusual to not allow them to go to Buffalo Wild Wings. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Or Mission Barbecue. | ||
| It's remarkable. | ||
| And that Mission Barbecue is also good. | ||
| We can sit around and make all these jokes for like five minutes. | ||
| The world's burning down! | ||
| And we all know that there's not going to be anything done with the border with the current administration. | ||
| And if they get re-elected, if the administration gets re-elected, nothing will be done. | ||
| And the American people generally agree Right? | ||
| Like, Americans broadly are like, if you have people coming to the country illegally, we should stop them. | ||
| We should say, you can't come in. | ||
| There are like, what, 300,000 in one month? | ||
| We ended up breaking our previous record of 200,000 in a month? | ||
| 10 million in the past four years or something like that? | ||
| It's complete insanity. | ||
| I don't know for sure. | ||
| They say something like 7 million, but you know it's not that. | ||
| Even still, it's outrageous! | ||
| 7 million is the compromise number, and it's not good. | ||
| Yeah, the idea that that is not an outrageous number, that the government just sits there and says, well, I mean, it's what happened, and it's not our fault, even though they got into office and repealed all of the, or, you know, got rid of all the executive orders that the previous administration had just because Because it was the previous administration and not Donald Trump was enough reason. | ||
| It is absurd, ridiculous. | ||
| The entire government is clown world. | ||
| It's so exhausting. | ||
| I want to hit that because I actually talked to a DHS official today on the drive out here to wherever we're at. | ||
| Just saying. | ||
| So during this conversation with him. | ||
| He said that there are members of DHS who recognize what we're saying to be absolutely correct and factual, that this is a clown show. | ||
| But they're being held back by those appointees who were appointed by this administration. | ||
| So, you know, as a former guy who was, you know, a sworn civilian and military officer, there are people like me who want to do our jobs. | ||
| The problem is The politicians, the people who are appointed above them. | ||
| And that's why you see this. | ||
| And until something is done to remove them from their ability to influence the permanent bureaucracy, you're going to see this. | ||
| And by the way, Tim, you know, I mean, we all know it's like New York is fed up with this. | ||
| I talk to folks up there all the time. | ||
| They can't ride the subway. | ||
| So I think it's a matter of time before their own side, your former side, I guess, really gets upset and says, enough's enough. | ||
| But it's going to take something to say, you know, we got to do something about it. | ||
| I do think regular people are starting to snap. | ||
| Scott Pressler mentioned this the other night. | ||
| Unregistered voters are leaning towards Trump. | ||
| So the Democrats are putting out these messages being like, stop registering voters. | ||
| They're more likely to be Trump supporters. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I mean, look, one of the issues that Trump campaigned on most successfully last time he ran, or I should say the first time he ran when he actually won, was the border issue. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And they've done everything within their power to make it worse. | ||
| And since then, I mean since 2020, they're saying we've let in the population of New York to the country. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| And that's not even an accurate number. | ||
| We all know that. | ||
| It's closer to 10 million. | ||
| It's way more. | ||
| So I live in a very real county in North Carolina. | ||
| The whole county is 14,500 people. | ||
| That's the whole county. | ||
| And it's very poor. | ||
| And I'm on the Social Services Committee. | ||
| I'm running for County Commissioner, just saying, if anybody wants to vote for me in the county. | ||
| But in the county, the minorities there feel that they are being deprived of resources they should otherwise get because they see, like us, all these resources going to the illegal aliens. | ||
| I mean, when you're talking about people who could barely pay for their heating bill, that they have to have special programs, and they see people coming here and getting, you know, 15, you know, $2,000 a month for their family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| They're fed up. | ||
| And this is the left's board. | ||
| I mean, they're Democrats. | ||
| Right. | ||
| An open border is an elitist position because the people who are most adversely affected are typically people who live on or below the poverty line. | ||
| And they devalue the value of labor. | ||
| That's why I can't believe that the left is not upset. | ||
| The unions aren't upset because the more illegal aliens you come in, the more you devalue a unit of labor in any market. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's like, where is anybody who actually understands what this does in a way of damage to the... But how much of it is just headline chasing, right? | ||
| They want to be the party that's like, we were the most welcoming. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Well, you're right. | ||
| It's completely backwards. | ||
| These people come into our country without any identification to work for wages that Americans won't accept. | ||
| And the unions go, they have a right to work. | ||
| It's like, they won't let an American citizen... They try to push for these laws that make it impossible for an American citizen to be able to Work without a union in certain sectors, and then they're willing to allow people to just flood the country and take whatever job they want without any kind of registration, totally off the grid, no social security numbers. | ||
| It's not any job. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi said if they don't come, they won't pick our crops, remember? | ||
| Was it Kelly Osborne? | ||
| Yeah, who's going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Yeah, there's a lot of dignity in that statement. | ||
| So much respect. | ||
| But no, it shows you how they see them. | ||
| It shows you how they see them. | ||
| They're pawns, ultimately. | ||
| And they're here. | ||
| I remember having this conversation when I was in high school, someone saying, well, they're just jobs the American workers wouldn't do. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That wage. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And also at times, there are times that it inhibits, uh, technological innovation, right? | ||
| Like if you think about agriculture workers, job labor that you could, you know, sell out cheaply to people who are not here illegally, who you don't have to hold to, you know, safe working standards. | ||
| Technically you could potentially have other innovations come in and solve this, but instead you're perpetuating these terrible systems. | ||
| We talked about that new Atlas robot from Boston Dynamics. | ||
| Have you seen this video? | ||
| No, I haven't seen it. | ||
| It's this like creepy humanoid thing that like spreads its legs and like stands up and then its body spins around and it walks towards you or whatever. | ||
| And the joke I made was watching these like androids they're building. | ||
| You know, I can't wait to fight one of these robots while my friends are scavenging for food in an abandoned gas station and I'm trying to buy them time and then we all escape into the sewers and flee. | ||
| But thinking about it now, what's really going to happen is, if one of these robots costs $50,000, then these companies are going to be thinking, a single Android for $50,000 is going to operate for 5 years. | ||
| So that's $10,000 a year. | ||
| That's way cheaper than any human. | ||
| And what's actually going to happen is there's going to be Neo-Luddites. | ||
| I think it's absolutely true. | ||
| You know, when we examine this through an economic framework, it's easy and I would say accurate and worthwhile to point out the fact that these people are driving the cost of labor down. | ||
| But it's a lot more insidious. | ||
| This narrative that the left has pushed on immigration for the last several decades, that these are just people who want to come here and do jobs that we won't do, like again, not only for reasons that we've pointed out is that not true, but it's just not the case anymore. | ||
| More than half of the people who pour over the border are not from Mexico. | ||
| You have no idea where these people are from, you have no idea what they want to do. | ||
| Yeah, there's a lot of human trafficking going on. | ||
| This is not even about somebody adjusting market equilibrium with respect to wages for labor. | ||
| This is about trafficking. | ||
| This is about human trafficking. | ||
| This is about people from nations that are hostile to our interests at a time where there is intense turmoil on the global stage just entering into our country. | ||
| We have no idea what they're doing. | ||
| But Seamus, that's how we'll solve our birth rate problem. | ||
| That's what makes me crazy. | ||
| It's so open, like population replacement. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| And again, all of the Americans who are trying to keep the system together pay for this. | ||
| I mean, it's terrible. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| It's disgusting and it's evil. | ||
| What was the name of that robot again, Tim? | ||
| Atlas. | ||
| So do you think, would you sign, would you all join me in doing a petition to require that they bring Atlas robots in to replace the entire cast of The View? | ||
| I think that would be, and that would last for 10 years, it's a cost cutting, and they can't be any less. | ||
| It'd be great actually. | ||
| I think it'd be funny. | ||
| It would just be GPT pretending to talk to itself. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what you got now. | ||
| No, I think that makes it too strong. | ||
| But you know, it would be comparably the same show because GPT's training ends in 2021, so they would be equally as ill-informed. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's a good one. | ||
| Let's jump to this next story. | ||
| This is speaking about what's going on with the border. | ||
| We got this tweet from Thomas Massey. | ||
| You may have seen the video. | ||
| Rep Thomas Massey posted a video of the U.S. | ||
| House of Representatives under the direction of Speaker Mike Johnson. | ||
| Democrats celebrating his total capitulation with no victory for securing our border. | ||
| And here is a video of all of these people in Congress waving the Ukrainian flag. | ||
| Yes, they're all very, very... That's breaking the House rules, by the way. | ||
| You can't fly a foreign flag. | ||
| Really? | ||
| No. | ||
| Well, here's what's fascinating. | ||
| Thomas Massey tweets, instead of fining Democrats for waving flags, the House Sergeant at Arms just called and said, I will be fined $500 if I don't delete this video post. | ||
| Mike Johnson really wants to memory hole this betrayal of America. | ||
| Now, Mike Johnson tweeted, he doesn't agree with the fine, and he's going to put in a good word. | ||
| But it is shocking to see our representatives flying the flag of a foreign nation as they vote to send our money to a foreign country, unjustified, while our border is in crisis, while our country is dealing with inflation issues, while our country is dealing with healthcare issues, while our country is dealing with gas prices, jobs, all of these problems that need to be solved. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And it goes so much deeper than that. | ||
| You can say, honestly, calmly, not even bombastically, as a blanket statement, quality of life has not approached what it was in 2019. | ||
| And everyone knows it. | ||
| Everyone knows it. | ||
| Just five years ago, life was far easier for people. | ||
| You're getting to the point where even very wealthy people are having trouble maintaining the standard of living they used to have. | ||
| They talk about goods getting cheaper. | ||
| Country clubs are cutting corners. | ||
| What about poor people? | ||
| What about people who are already struggling to afford food? | ||
| This country is in a horrible position right now, and we're just giving what else we have left away. | ||
| Yeah, and it's going to get worse. | ||
| One of the senators during debate today pointed out that the Social Security Fund is going to run out in 10 years. | ||
| Our Highway Transportation Trust is going to run out. | ||
| in 2028. | ||
| Again, I don't even know that the federal government should have these things, but if you're the left and you say yes, federal government should pay for all of these things, how can you also say we're going to send all of our money away as opposed to deal with these things that are specifically designed theoretically to address domestic problems? | ||
| It gets even more frightening, right? | ||
| Because one thing people will look at when we talk about the national debt is the debt-to-GDP ratio, which is fair. | ||
| It's an interesting way of looking at things. | ||
| But at some point, when your debt gets bad enough, you just have to look at whether you're capable of taking care of the interest payments each month. | ||
| And the interest payments, if rates rise to historic averages, like 6%, I mean, it's going to get to the point where a massive percent of our budget is literally just going to be going to paying off the interest on the national debt. | ||
| I mean, we are in serious financial trouble here. | ||
| Well, don't frighten me. | ||
| I start Social Security payments this November. | ||
| I never start them, sir. | ||
| We never have them. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| I'm going to get mine. | ||
| It's just a myth that I heard about one time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Congratulations. | |
| I hope it's great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Me too. | |
| Me too. | ||
| I'll let you know. | ||
| I'll let you know. | ||
| No, but point to your point. | ||
| It's like, we are spending $8 billion a day Eight billion dollars a day. | ||
| And we're like only appropriating about four billion. | ||
| So that's six billion we're printing every day. | ||
| Six billion. | ||
| And to that point, it's like, Tim, I've watched your stuff over the years. | ||
| I'm fundamentally not against military spending because I think most military spending is useless. | ||
| Much of what I've seen spent You know, when I was in Afghanistan, I would walk into this tactical operations center, and literally wall to wall are these $10,000 a pop plasma TV screens. | ||
| Like, really? | ||
| Is this going to help us kill the Taliban better by having all these really cool screens? | ||
| And that's what's going on now. | ||
| That's what's going on with Ukraine. | ||
| So all this money we've seen, $300 billion. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| $300 billion. | ||
| What could we have done to create high-speed trains, improved airports, Student debt, all these things which I think are clearly American issues are being ignored, and yet we get the Ukraine flag on the floor of the House. | ||
| It's like we're being invaded, right? | ||
| Their flags are everywhere! | ||
| From every direction. | ||
| I would rather give that $300 billion to a random guy. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| In the United States, just like- I'll take it. | ||
| We just spin the old Social Security, you put all the Social Security numbers in a bucket, you spin it around, you grab one, you go, uh, John Smith! | ||
| Three hundred billion dollars to you because at least you'll spend it here, I guess. | ||
| Tim, I would rather give the presidency to a random person. | ||
| Same thing. | ||
| Spin the wheel. | ||
| I'm fine with it at this point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Agreed. | |
| There was like some poll, they were talking about Fox News, that the DNC did like Focus group tests on Kamala Harris and everyone hates her. | ||
| And the funny thing about the story is they needed to do a focus group to figure that out. | ||
| Did they ask Willie Brown? | ||
| I feel like they're doing it to try and defend themselves. | ||
| They're like, no, if we just ask the right people, it'll be like, her numbers are getting better, but they just get worse and worse and worse. | ||
| I mean, can you imagine being that deeply unpopular and you're the vice president to Joe Biden? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's rough. | |
| Well, she has taken the office to a new level of high that the high is so high, the high is so high that we are amazed at how high the high is. | ||
| As a matter of fact, the high is so high, I am amazed at the highness of the highness. | ||
| She's so high. | ||
| So high. | ||
| She's so high. | ||
| But no, I hear you on that. | ||
| I want to touch on the point you made about military spending there. | ||
| I mean, the Pentagon fails its audits all the time, as you pointed out. | ||
| You'll see ridiculous spending. | ||
| And I did an educational cartoon on this a while ago for the Foundation for Economic Education on just examples of insane amounts of money we spent on things. | ||
| And you look at it and you go, okay, was this money actually spent on that? | ||
| Or was the money being laundered and hidden and sent somewhere else? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But what I will say is this. | ||
| You have to build some trust up with the American people at this point, right? | ||
| I mean, the military has not exactly, and I mean the military leadership here, has not exactly done what they've needed to do in order to make the American people feel as if they're going to, A, protect them, and B, spend their money wisely. | ||
| And we're just shipping money to other countries, and it gets to the point where everyone knows it's a racket, and they're sitting here, they're doing it, and they're laughing at us. | ||
| The question is, what are people going to do about it? | ||
| There have been these stories periodically where it's like the military says, we don't need any more tanks and then Congress is like, more tanks! | ||
| Give them more tanks! | ||
| We're spending the money because we got to spend the money somewhere. | ||
| So, but I know Lloyd Austin. | ||
| I was in combat with Lloyd Austin when he was a one-star general. | ||
| And I can tell you based on my experience, Lloyd Austin is a guy who's going to go along with Whatever the mainstream wants him to do, and that's part of the problem. | ||
| You don't have Schwarzkopf's who are willing to say, you know, enough's enough. | ||
| I'm a Reagan guy. | ||
| I'm still friends and mentors with Ed Meese and other Reagan folks. | ||
| Reagan was the only president I know of that actually funded a strategy. | ||
| In 86, he got to the point of where he sufficiently reached what they felt they needed to overwhelm the Russians, and they cut the defense budget. | ||
| That's the only president that's ever done that. | ||
| And it's like, that's what we should be doing. | ||
| It's like, how do we actually play 5D chess and not just simply spend all this money and hope for the best? | ||
| You don't think the Secretary of Defense should just disappear? | ||
| Well, you make a really good point. | ||
| He did disappear. | ||
| He did disappear. | ||
| He disappeared without telling anyone, including the White House, because that's how functional the Biden administration is. | ||
| I told you guys his new nickname, right? | ||
| Zippity-Doo Dads? | ||
| Oh, did I say that? | ||
| We should invade the United States. | ||
| That's a great idea. | ||
| I think their borders are border. | ||
| That's my radical position. | ||
| I think we should secure it. | ||
| I'm like, we could do some nation building in the United States. | ||
| That'd be fun. | ||
| Someone tell the United States federal government how much oil the United States has. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's crazy. | |
| They're going to be taken over. | ||
| Tell them that we're trying to secure Mexico's northern border. | ||
| I want to invade Alaska. | ||
| I'm ready to go for the King Crab. | ||
| I want to mention this. | ||
| You made a point. | ||
| I can't speak to the specific general you're talking about. | ||
| I'm not familiar with him. | ||
| He's currently a SecDef. | ||
| Lloyd Austin. | ||
| So, everyone I know in the military has basically said that officers essentially get to the point where they become politicians, right? | ||
| And that's a massive problem in our military, is these are people who are basically acting the way that a standard American politician does, which as we know isn't well. | ||
| And I'm curious what you think about a potential solution to that problem as someone who's actually worked within the system. | ||
| So there are officers with integrity. | ||
| I've advised and worked with a number of them. | ||
| Oh, no doubt. | ||
| The problem is that the system, the more power you have in a system, the more the system tends to corrupt people. | ||
| And a lot of people like George Washington was a rare general by the fact that he walked away from being the continental army chief and walked away from being president. | ||
| It takes someone who understands their personal limits and the ability to kind of rein themselves in. | ||
| We really don't have that. | ||
| And so when people get into uniform, I'm going to get in trouble for saying this, but I'm just going to say it. | ||
| People who get into senior positions in the military have to become politicians because their job becomes, especially their generals, not all generals, Blaine, just saying if you're watching, that generals tend to then become extensions of the corporate state that Eisenhower warned us about. | ||
| Military, industrial, congressional complex. | ||
| And that's how it feeds. | ||
| I got that romantic view of the military. | ||
| You ever see the movie The Patriot with Mel Gibson? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. | |
| Okay, so he's like a retired dude, and he's got a family, and his kid gets killed, and then he basically goes to a high-ranking guy who knows him, and he's like, if you'll join me, we will have you, and just writes him a commission and hands it to him, and then you have a legit guy with actual experience who's coming back to teach, to lead, and to win, and then you have, today, Politicians trying to look good on camera, fit the corporate press narrative. | ||
| And it's not so much about being an effective leader in defense. | ||
| And it's more so about, it seems very bureaucratic and managerial. | ||
| It's just filling out the paperwork and getting the points on your name and all that stuff. | ||
| We also need more trans representation in the military, of course. | ||
| Well, how would we, you know, secure our borders without it? | ||
| How are we supposed to win a war? | ||
| How are we supposed to win a war? | ||
| Did you guys know this? | ||
| I'm aware of this by direct knowledge, not personally. | ||
| I'm not transitioning, just saying. | ||
| By the way, maybe that's an idea. | ||
| Maybe the SecDef should transition, like lead the way to being, you know, trans. | ||
| I mean, he kind of already got cut down there, just saying. | ||
| I guess it would be kind of an easy thing to do next. | ||
| Anyway, my point being is, did you know that you could enlist, Tim, not that I think you'd want to become Other than you are. | ||
| Yeah, they cut your hair, man. | ||
| They shaved my head. | ||
| They cut a lot of things. | ||
| Do you know that they now are using conversion to trans as an incentive? | ||
| A recruitment tool. | ||
| Yeah, recruitment tool. | ||
| I know people who are involved in that transition process. | ||
| And by the way, once you're in, you can't deploy. | ||
| But is it really? | ||
| No, you can't. | ||
| You're not usable. | ||
| Are you kidding? | ||
| You're on drugs. | ||
| You've been cut. | ||
| The things don't ever heal completely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't be used in the military for a purpose of military purpose. | |
| Which branches? | ||
| All branches. | ||
| Even the Marines? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| The Marines, I think, are more reluctant to bring people in, but all the branches have been permitted to bring in, using a tool of recruitment. | ||
| If you want to be Tamisha, you could be Tamisha. | ||
| So there's, recently, I remember a few years ago they did a commercial where it's like the Army commercial and it's someone being like, I have two moms. | ||
| And I'm like, What does that have to do with being in the army, right? | ||
| It has nothing. | ||
| But they changed it. | ||
| And I recently saw a commercial for the army, and it was like a guy in a swamp with a gun wearing makeup and actually doing more army-sounding things. | ||
| But not drag makeup. | ||
| That's the commercial they would've made five years ago. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, but I guess the point is, maybe they're starting to realize, like, our recruitment numbers are in the gutter. | ||
| They are. | ||
| Perhaps we should shift towards masculine, fun adventures. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| I think they're worried about an actual war. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're like, you know what? | ||
| Let's put white males back in the commercials. | ||
| Like, we think we might actually have to fight. | ||
| Let's stop. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Men, instead of trying to pander to marginalized groups, they're supposedly marginalized groups. | ||
| Recruitment numbers are atrocious. | ||
| I mean, you can probably talk about this better than I can, but one of the other problems is that the portion of the populations that qualifies to be recruited is extremely small, right? | ||
| There are tons of people who are disqualified immediately. | ||
| So the people traditionally who sign up are from the Midwest. | ||
| During World War II there was a study. | ||
| Most of the folks who fought World War II were from the Midwest. | ||
| They're patriotic good old boys. | ||
| We're in one of the good old boy states right now. | ||
| And so the idea is you want to bring those people in because they don't mess around, they do what they're told, and they're able to achieve military objectives that are assigned. | ||
| The military fundamentally kills people and breaks things. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It's pretty… The Midwest is like, sign us up! | ||
| Sign us up! | ||
| There's a lot of focus from the military after World War II is making the military a social experiment so that way it's a jobs program. | ||
| And that's the issue. | ||
| You can have your opinion on that, but… If you're going to have a military at all, it should be at the very least capable of doing its primary job. | ||
| Maybe you can have it be a job program. | ||
| Maybe you can have those kind of things, but you can't lose sight of the primary focus, which is break things and kill people. | ||
| So let me say this and be clear about it. | ||
| I enlisted in 1981. | ||
| I was a private. | ||
| I went through training. | ||
| It was back in those days, and by the way, the 80s were great. | ||
| You guys missed a great time in the 80s, just saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Man, this guy's got the 80s, he's got Social Security, he's got everything! | |
| I'm all set. | ||
| Look, I'm retired. | ||
| I can hang out. | ||
| So my point being is that in the 80s when I came in, we really weren't integrated. | ||
| Black and white minorities were all together in the military. | ||
| We were all green. | ||
| And oh, by the way, the other thing, we were the gays in the military. | ||
| We didn't care. | ||
| It's like, yeah, you want to be gay? | ||
| Go be gay. | ||
| You want to be a lesbian? | ||
| Go be a lesbian. | ||
| But nobody ever contemplated being cut. | ||
| And you're a rock and roller. | ||
| So do you know Cherie Currie? | ||
| So Sheree and I are very close friends. | ||
| She came out recently, publicly, against all the mutilation of children. | ||
| And it's the thing. | ||
| There's a difference between being trans and being cut going through the process and being gay or lesbian and who you sleep with. | ||
| There's a huge difference. | ||
| And this is where the line has been blurred to the point of where, yeah, even the gays and lesbians I know don't like the idea of children being recruited or the idea that even if you're an adult, you go into the military because you benefit personally. | ||
| Do you know how much money we spend on converting a Tim to a Tamisha? | ||
| I'm not picking on you, Tim. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
| I'm just using it. | ||
| So Hannah to Hans. | ||
| I want to pump you up. Yeah. That's why I have two first names. Hannah Clare, because I'm very female. | ||
| The military spends a ton of money on this, and it doesn't actually benefit recruiting because | ||
| you're not going to have a lot of people who want to become. | ||
| I think I think the issue isn't recruiting. I think the issue is institutional capture. I | ||
| think that you have people who are aligned with a cult ideology and they're great and they're | ||
| gaining positions of power and advancing the ideology regardless of what it does. | ||
| I think you hit the nail on the head. | ||
| I've often referred to it as social fire or cultural fire. | ||
| It's just a chaotic destructive force that expands, it consumes, it's chaos, it destroys. | ||
| So there's no real reason to try and make recruitment ads that are advocating for gender affirmation or whatever they call it, because that doesn't in any way benefit the military, the mission of the armed forces, nor this country. | ||
| But it's happening across the board. | ||
| Now, I do think we're starting to win. | ||
| It's pushing back. | ||
| You know, as I mentioned earlier in the show, which Scott Pressler mentioned last show, unregistered voters are leaning towards Donald Trump. | ||
| I think a lot of people are saying now, Everything, from immigration, to inflation, to the woke stuff, the culture is shifting away from this. | ||
| You had that one OnlyFans woman, right, so these are women selling their bodies online, say, I found God, I'm canceling OnlyFans, I don't want to do this anymore. | ||
| And there's been a lot of criticism of her, but I think, you know, whether she's telling the truth and she found God, or she's lying to make money, that shows people think the right side of history is virtue and not debauchery. | ||
| That's a good thing. | ||
| It's a good thing. | ||
| But aside from that, we will jump to the next story. | ||
| We have some ABC News. | ||
| The Trump trial. | ||
| David Pecker describes secret catch-and-kill arrangement for 2016 election. | ||
| That's right, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| The big news here is that Donald Trump, get this, this is gonna shock all of you, was trying to make himself look good while running for president so that he could win. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| How dare he? | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| How dare he? | ||
| You think I'm joking, but this is the Trump trial core argument that Donald Trump, his lawyers, his personnel before, during, and after the election had been buying negative stories and shutting them down. | ||
| No political candidate ever would do this. | ||
| It's actually not the Clintons or Joe Biden. | ||
| That's never happened. | ||
| That's not what happened with Hunter. | ||
| It's not illegal. | ||
| Uh, if someone has a claim and they're like, I'm gonna sell the rights to my story, and you buy them and then just don't publish the story, it's completely legal. | ||
| They're arguing that the further, the further, the secondary crime in the Trump trial, so let's, let's slow down. | ||
| Trump pays, uh, they argue, Trump pays Stormy Daniel $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged affair, which apparently never happened, and now she owes him money or something. | ||
| She lost her suit. Right. So she owes him like 300,000. And then in New York, they're arguing | ||
| that Trump can falsified business records to cover up his election interference by suppressing | ||
| negative information to win an election. I just want to stress every single politician in the | ||
| history of this country and probably any elected representative of any kind in any country has | ||
| done that. Well, there is there is. | ||
| There is no historical circumstance where a politician did not attempt to stop bad information about them from getting out. | ||
| Well, hold on a second. | ||
| I know that we all want to defend Trump here, but let me read you some quotes that came from Trump and people in his administration. | ||
| There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated resistance from CEOs. | ||
| Their work touched every aspect of the election. | ||
| They got states to change voting system and laws. | ||
| There was a pact that was formalized. | ||
| No, I'm sorry, that was Time Magazine talking about how they interfered in the election in order to get Joe Biden elected. | ||
| They literally came out and admitted that corporate America, big business, and people working from within the legal system got together in order to do everything they could to ensure that Joe Biden won. | ||
| Then on top of that, we had former intelligence officials coming out to lie about and suppress a story that was true, You had large social media companies banning that story and networks saying that they wouldn't report on it because it could hurt Joe Biden, and they're sitting here and saying that somebody who Donald Trump was working with not publishing a story is election interference? | ||
| Well, I'd like to hit that if you don't mind. | ||
| Real quick, just one point. | ||
| There's not even any proof that Trump actually paid Stormy Daniels. | ||
| So what about those Congress members who had that slush fund paying off those who they sexually harassed? | ||
| Is that election interference too? | ||
| Because, you know, they want to make themselves look good and be reelected. | ||
| Is that interference? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| And the charge that Trump is facing in New York is a misdemeanor, unless it's done while doing another crime, which you don't have to be charged with. | ||
| They just do whatever they can to give him the biggest you know, punch that they can muster. And this is what Alvin | ||
| Bragg has come up with. | ||
| It's interesting to me that no matter what happened, like when this trial started, | ||
| or when everything, you know, kind of kicked off yesterday, the fact that we're talking about | ||
| something that happened in 2016, like, they will do anything to try and throw mud on Trump right now. | ||
| Well, I wanted to touch base on the 51 intelligence officers. | ||
| Some of those guys I know, uh, who came out and said it was fake. | ||
| I am a laptop story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The laptop story. | ||
| I actually had a copy of the laptop, had access to it. | ||
| I was actually helping a certain reporter that I mentioned off air. | ||
| I don't want to mention her name to get her in trouble, but I was trying to make sure she got certain copies of it. | ||
| And so when I was trying to go public and say, this looks authentic to me and I'm an intelligence officer with 30, 30 years, nobody in the media would pick it up. | ||
| Nobody. | ||
| Nobody would pick it up. | ||
| Nobody would listen, even though I'm, you know— Well, hold on. | ||
| I mean, let me just get this straight. | ||
| You're saying that as a former intelligence officer, you went to assets of the intelligence agencies, and they didn't listen to you? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, well, I'm not surprised. | ||
| So we actually were in a room like this, and I brought in a three-letter agency, and they wanted to take a copy. | ||
| And their leadership said, no, we don't want a copy. | ||
| Because you know why we were concerned? | ||
| I'll just say it. | ||
| We believe, looking at the Hunter Biden hard drive, we would be able to determine a foreign intelligence service's techniques to recruit people. | ||
| They have certain things that they do, you know, I guess the term is... Honeypotting? | ||
| Honeypotting. | ||
| So we figured by analyzing that, the three-letter agency asked me to help them out. | ||
| Oh no, the 52, 51 intelligence officers, oh they say it's not real so we can't look at it. | ||
| That's how damaging this whole information campaign was. | ||
| The legitimate issues that should have been looked at by intelligence professionals were ignored because... | ||
| Well, you know, these guys have come out and said it's not real, so it's not real. | ||
| Well, there was even a survey done not long after the election, when the story actually did start to get out there, where they found that it was something like 10% of people who voted for Joe Biden would not have if they had been aware. | ||
| Like 6 or 7? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Rasmussen ran a poll and they found like 6 or 7% said, had they been aware of the laptop story, they would have actually, they would have not voted for Biden. | ||
| And Trump would have won. | ||
| Yeah, no doubt. | ||
| Well, it's kind of obvious why they suppressed the laptop story. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| The president's son is a... He's not a good guy. | ||
| No. | ||
| I'm being nice. | ||
| But the media acknowledging that they literally ran what they referred to as a shadow campaign to generate the result they wanted in the election. | ||
| Elon Musk purchasing Twitter and then releasing communications that were going on behind the scenes which showed us that those who run the digital public square were literally running defense to suppress a true story to help somebody get elected are stories that didn't result in a single person having to stand trial for any kind of election interference even though we know intelligence assets lied. | ||
| They lied. | ||
| But Donald Trump's on trial. | ||
| Donald Trump is on trial. | ||
| I invested in one of the instances of the ballot fraud. | ||
| I actually investigated a guy named Jesse Morgan. | ||
| The thing is on there. | ||
| And we found that they had moved, in October of 2020, 650,000 curated ballots. | ||
| That was the conclusion of my investigation. | ||
| And we were ready to take this to Bill Barr. | ||
| I sent a note to him and said, hey, we want to go talk to you and brief you through Ed Meese. | ||
| And guess who called me and got me fired from the project? | ||
| The FBI took it and buried it all. | ||
| Bill Barr called me and demanded we turn over the witness. | ||
| Jesse Morgan, this is all on the internet. | ||
| And next thing you know, it's gone. | ||
| The FBI took it and buried it all. | ||
| So I'm just saying that there are credible elements that happened either, you know, that | ||
| show that there was active efforts to suppress any evidence of the fact that the election | ||
| was completely. I want to show this tweet from Alex Berenson. | ||
| Yeah. He said, so Trump supposedly engaged in a conspiracy to win an election, but he's not | ||
| charged for the $130,000 Cohen paid down in 2016. He's charged for misclassifying the repayments he | ||
| made to Cohen in 2017, by which time he'd already won. Could this case be a bigger | ||
| joke? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Berenson also tweeted out, maybe I can actually pull this up, something to the effect of, you know, why is Donald Trump actually... Here's what he said. | ||
| If I were Trump, I would seriously consider refusing to participate in the New York versus Trump and letting them jail me. | ||
| I know that sort of protest has never been his style. | ||
| He has always made the courts work for him, but the case here is so fundamentally corrupt, it might be his best move. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Well, look at how much... They wouldn't do it. | ||
| You look at how much Donald Trump has been investigated, and this is what they're trying to throw at him? | ||
| Look at how much the goalpost has moved since 2016. | ||
| First, Donald Trump colluded with the Russians. | ||
| They stole this election. | ||
| You had something like 60, or it was between 40 and 60 percent of Democrats, according to a YouGov poll, said that they believed Russia literally hacked voting machines because of how much the media was running with this Russiagate narrative. | ||
| Then they go, okay, okay, so we don't have proof that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians, but, you know, We think he might have been involved, and there is an investigation, and it's like, okay, well, we have no proof he was involved, but there was no bias in the investigation, and it's like, okay, well, we did find there was bias in the investigation, but, like, it wasn't a coup or anything like that, and now it's... He tried to interfere in the election. | ||
| By running a campaign. | ||
| Can I just stress? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That crazy man. | |
| You know what's crazy? | ||
| The voters also interfered in that election. | ||
| By voting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I want to stress this to everybody listening at home. | ||
| The trial in New York, for which Trump is currently attending, is a 2016 election case. | ||
| They have brought us back eight years to relitigate now for what the third or fourth time the 2016 election because these psychotic election deniers like Hillary Clinton and now Bragg cannot accept they lost. | ||
| The argument now is Trump interfered in the election. | ||
| That's how we won. | ||
| American tax dollars at work. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| I mean, the thing is, with all of this, is the American public aware enough of the inconsistencies in what they're saying and the bias, you know, the impact of the Twitter files to say, hey, what Trump did is actually being misconstrued and we're being tricked. | ||
| Well, that's the thing. | ||
| People should start thinking for themselves. | ||
| I mean, I try to monitor everything, but to your point, Tim, I don't think they're going to jail him. | ||
| I think Trump should do it, like Kobayashi Maru, but they won't because you know what they'll do? | ||
| They'll build his numbers up even higher. | ||
| They try to jail him. | ||
| They get the headlines. | ||
| Didn't he see a spike after his moonshot came out? | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| Today they had a hearing. | ||
| Bragg wants, what does he want, like a hundred grand or something? | ||
| Something like that for contempt. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But the judge is not going to rule on it. | ||
| And one of the articles I was reading, the journalists, some Democrats, talking to journalists, I don't know the sources on this one, they actually believe Trump is trying to get jailed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But he has to do it in a way to where he doesn't intentionally provoke it. | ||
| So, if Trump comes out and says, screw you, FU Judge, how dare you? | ||
| What the idea is that Trump is trying to avoid taking the action which results in him getting jailed strongly. | ||
| So, let me try to break this down. | ||
| Trump defying the court and saying, I will leave. | ||
| And them going, you'll be jailed. | ||
| And he says, so what? | ||
| Trump is avoiding that. | ||
| What Trump wants is some kind of plausible deniability. | ||
| So they're insulting me on TV. | ||
| They're insulting me on social media. | ||
| I responded to that and they jailed me for it. | ||
| Trump wants them to be in the most unreasonable position. | ||
| And I don't know if Trump actually wants to get jailed, but they believe he does. | ||
| And I think that's why the judge probably refrained from ruling on the contempt because he's like, the only thing you can do is put Trump in jail. | ||
| And that's really, really bad for Democrats. | ||
| I don't know if it's going to be ultimately good for Trump. | ||
| But it may be that Trump is trying to nudge them into actually... | ||
| Putting him in jail! | ||
| Considering how the whole case has gone so far, if they just throw Trump in jail for contempt or whatever, I don't see how that could possibly be a win for Democrats or for the court. | ||
| They're already, generally, I think the average person kind of looks at the situation in New York is like, this case doesn't really hold water, and I think if they were to throw him in jail, I think that that would It would do wonders for Trump's numbers. | ||
| It was always considered the weakest of the cases that are being brought against him. | ||
| And I think you're right. | ||
| If this is the one that they sent to jail on, everyone's going to look at it and be | ||
| like, New York, stop. | ||
| Alvin Bragg, pull it together. | ||
| You're making the rest of us look bad. | ||
| They leaked a story today about the Secret Service considering how they would protect | ||
| the president if he goes to jail. | ||
| So. | ||
| But isn't that their job? | ||
| To like consider every single variable there is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That doesn't seem crazy to me. | |
| It's interesting that they highlighted that. | ||
| Because I think, again, I think to Tim's point, I think Trump is playing with fire. | ||
| And I think if he plays it right, this will help improve his numbers again, because it'll overplay their hand. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think Trump should not have gone. | ||
| I think he should have chilled in Florida and publicly stated, they have issued a secondary charge with no underlying crime. | ||
| I'm confused by this. | ||
| My lawyers are confused by this. | ||
| If they can present a actual criminal charge for which they have the secondary charge attached, we will respond. | ||
| But in the meantime, we are shocked and confused and don't know what to do. | ||
| So we are going to do nothing. | ||
| The issue here is that the charge against Trump is falsifying business records in furtherance of a crime. | ||
| But the furtherance of a crime doesn't exist. | ||
| So there's no charge, plus there's a statute of limitations, which expired. | ||
| So what is this? | ||
| Tim, those are internal business records too. | ||
| They weren't even used externally. | ||
| Those are internal records within the company. | ||
| So there's no possibility of fraud since they weren't presented to someone else as fraud. | ||
| It's a fake case. | ||
| It's a completely fake case. | ||
| So why would Trump, the way I've described this repeatedly, is a group of clowns showed up to Trump's house with a clown warrant and said the clowns want you to go to clown jail and Trump went, okay, I guess. | ||
| That's kind of true. | ||
| Overweight clowns. | ||
| It's not real. | ||
| So look, the way I view it is, this charge against Trump is not in statutory law. | ||
| A D.A. | ||
| can't be like, well, we don't actually have a crime on the books, but I'm gonna charge Seamus with, um, I don't know, uh, stealing a statue of a frog from his aunt's house. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| And, uh, well, you know what? | ||
| Seamus, I'm charging you with making a cartoon that incites hatred and violence, because your cartoons, I interpret as such. | ||
| There's no law banning it, and there's a First Amendment, but it doesn't matter. | ||
| I'm gonna charge you for it anyway. | ||
| Guilty. | ||
| And then you decide to be like, okay, I guess, I guess I'll show up to court for that. | ||
| I gotta be honest, if... | ||
| There were charges announced against me that didn't exist in law. | ||
| I'd be like, huh? | ||
| And I'd just be like, okay, I guess. | ||
| But if we're at the point, a lot of people have responded to my point about this saying, what should have Trump done? | ||
| What should Trump have done? | ||
| Should he have just waited and gone to jail? | ||
| You're talking about clowns, but those clowns are armed. | ||
| And I'm like, dude, if you're suggesting that a rogue state of this country has already taken extrajudicial actions against Donald Trump. | ||
| They're acting outside of the law and threatening him with violence and imprisonment. | ||
| Then the move has already been made. | ||
| If Donald Trump refuses to attend this trial, it is not Trump doing anything. | ||
| They already did it. | ||
| So it's funny because I don't think people understand how late the hour is, okay? | ||
| There's the joke, oh, you guys ready to take a drink? | ||
| Civil War, right? | ||
| We talk about these issues. | ||
| Can I just stress, the state of New York has filed a functionally non-existent criminal charge against Donald Trump. | ||
| They are attempting to put him in prison to jail and incarcerate him. | ||
| I got news for you. | ||
| If you, without legal authority, take a person against their will and lock them up, that's called kidnapping. | ||
| And with a threat of violence, there can be aggravated assault and all that stuff attached to it. | ||
| What we're witnessing right now in New York is organized crime, not governance. | ||
| It's not the law. | ||
| And so let me just keep it simple for you. | ||
| To the people who laugh at the idea that things are getting crazy in this country, the state of New York, the district in Manhattan, the DA there, Have just declared they will, without the backing of any legislation or any law, lock Trump up. | ||
| Okay, guys, that's no different than a nonprofit organization getting a private security company to go to Trump's house and locking him in a cage. | ||
| There's no law backing this. | ||
| No, it would be like if some Sheriff of a remote town in 2008-2009 was like, I'm going to lock Obama up. | ||
| It's like, how? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| You can't. | ||
| It's worse because... But they will try. | ||
| This meets the definition of RICO because this is the systemic use of individuals in a conspiracy to achieve a criminal outcome. | ||
| Tim, you just outlined a criminal set of allegations. | ||
| You've alleged, and I agree with you, that there's a number of things that the state of New York has engaged in criminally. | ||
| Therefore, if the predicate of the crime is correct, they have engaged using their system as a criminal enterprise, which is RICO, right? | ||
| Am I missing something? | ||
| That's a RICO. | ||
| That's a RICO charge. | ||
| That's what they're going after Trump for in Georgia. | ||
| No, you don't understand. | ||
| It's OK when they do it. | ||
| It's totally fine. | ||
| I missed that. | ||
| I will just stress it again. | ||
| I think Donald Trump should not have listened. | ||
| I think he should have come out in Mar-a-Lago at the press conference and said, I don't understand. | ||
| There's no underlying crime. | ||
| My lawyers are confused. | ||
| We're consulting with the state of Florida on how to respond to this. | ||
| But there's no underlying crime. | ||
| This charge doesn't exist. | ||
| So we will not be responding to it. | ||
| That would have done many things. | ||
| It would have put the pressure on Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida whether to cooperate or not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's fair. | |
| Trump already can't campaign, so what's the point of complying with this unless the goal is he wants to provoke them into jailing him so it looks like they've gone nuts? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They have gone nuts. | ||
| It's just a question of how nuts are they? | ||
| And how nuts are they going to get? | ||
| Let's jump to this next story. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we've got huge news! | ||
| TikTok is getting banned. | ||
| Oh, also, they're going to give billions of dollars to Ukraine and Israel, and they're going to force the divestment of TikTok. | ||
| You see how they play this game? | ||
| So the NBC News story, Senate advances Ukraine aid, Israel funding, and TikTok ban. | ||
| Washington, the Senate voted Tuesday to advance the bill. | ||
| The vote of 80 to 19 indicates the legislation is enough support to clear the Senate in a final vote, which could become as soon as Tuesday evening and then head to President Joe Biden's desk to be sent into law. | ||
| I believe that that already happened, right? | ||
| Is this just not been updated? | ||
| I believe they already did pass it. | ||
| I thought we had the most. | ||
| It's back in the Senate right now. | ||
| It's still being debated. | ||
| Yeah, it's being redone in the Senate based on some changes that were made in the House. | ||
| Okay, okay, but it's basically looking like it's going to happen. | ||
| We did have a super chat. | ||
| Megamikey says, by the way, the House passed. | ||
| Okay, so the House did, right? | ||
| Yeah, back in the Senate. | ||
| And now the Senate is expected to clear it. | ||
| Biden will sign it. | ||
| And they're going to wave Ukrainian flags again. | ||
| Look, I'm in favor of the TikTok divestment bill. | ||
| And I don't understand this. | ||
| I don't think we should be funding Ukraine. | ||
| I don't think we should be funding Israel. | ||
| But I do think we should be forcing the divestment of TikTok. | ||
| And I am confused as to why there is this diehard, adamant support for defending TikTok. | ||
| And many people on the right are doing it in ways that Aren't actual arguments. | ||
| So one of the arguments is, oh, they want to ban TikTok because China's spying, but then they want warrantless wiretapping in FISA? | ||
| They're hypocrites. | ||
| I'm like, hmm, China spying on us is still bad. | ||
| Yeah, those are totally different things. | ||
| I'm not saying it's okay for our government to do it, but yeah. | ||
| We can get rid of one of them and still be angry at the other. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Also, I'm sorry, like, I don't want our government doing that either, I also really don't want China doing it. | ||
| And those are different things. | ||
| Neither is acceptable. | ||
| Neither is even remotely acceptable. | ||
| But I would go as far as to say, too, there's other examples of Chinese spyware that we should probably ban. | ||
| Zoom. | ||
| Zoom is just Chinese spyware. | ||
| And it's just interesting that as soon as the lockdown started, everyone's using Zoom. | ||
| And it kind of started in academia when we were all using Skype before that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I had people be like, oh, you want to... TikTok's not the only app. | |
| We'll send you a Zoom link. | ||
| And I was like, I don't use Zoom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The funny thing is when Zoom first became like the thing everyone was using, I was like, oh, you guys don't use Skype? | ||
| And they were like, no, no, we use Zoom. | ||
| And I was like, OK. | ||
| So I downloaded it and it broke our studio computer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, and I was like, okay, like screw with the script, the driver is somehow. | ||
| So I had to do a recovery date and everything to get rid of it, to get the microphones to work again. | ||
| It was, I'm like, dude, I'm never using this app again. | ||
| Well, and look, I mean, we've all seen it happen. | ||
| We're slowly over time, you know, maybe over the course of a few months or a few years, one social media company overtakes another, but we went from Skype to Zoom instantly. | ||
| Like as soon as the pandemic happened, everyone's talking about Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. | ||
| Wait, I thought we, I thought we used Skype here. | ||
| And I think part of it was the fact that they put so many schools on Zoom. | ||
| They marketed it as being better. | ||
| That's how it started in academia. | ||
| It was massive in academia. | ||
| And it was like, well, your kids are already using it. | ||
| We have to. | ||
| This fosters whatever. | ||
| It's a convenience thing. | ||
| It's always marketed that way. | ||
| It's convenient or whatever else. | ||
| Well, I think they were better for groups because Skype had to catch up on doing... That's what they said. | ||
| Well, no, but Skype had to actually... Maybe they didn't do a good job of marketing the fact you could do group meetings with Skype, but they didn't. | ||
| And I think Zoom got there ahead of them saying, yeah, it's like, I know this is too, uh, ancient for you guys to remember, but there was something done by MCI or Sprint when they dropped the, the, uh, pin, they dropped a pin. | ||
| You could, it was so clear. | ||
| You could hear a pin back in the days when we had landlines and all that. | ||
| So that was, it was a marketing tool. | ||
| It's like, yeah, I remember seeing those commercials. | ||
| So it was a marginal improvement on sound, but everybody bought it. | ||
| So it was, it was the marketing that I think failed for Skype. | ||
| Which means that Zoom was prepared to market that way, which is interesting. | ||
| Yes, I agree. | ||
| No, I think, I think James is totally right. | ||
| There are a lot of companies that operate within the U.S. | ||
| that we should potentially be cautious of or wary of, whether you believe the government should intervene or you just as a consumer should avoid them, right? | ||
| Because you don't actually have to use, I mean, for the most part, you can get around using these things. | ||
| You can opt to use Skype. | ||
| You don't have to be on TikTok. | ||
| It becomes harder when it's sort of buried in the infrastructure of what you're doing, right? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And this is something that China doesn't hesitate on, right? | ||
| Like China just banned a bunch of meta services from being offered in the App Store and mainly in China last week. | ||
| This is something that they take seriously. | ||
| Why does the US not take it seriously? | ||
| Well, China It's a totalitarian state. | ||
| There is no such thing as private enterprise. | ||
| Yes, they have companies, but the state has right to go in and do anything. | ||
| So TikTok, ByteDance, whatever you want to call it, is still an extension of the central communist system of governance. | ||
| Within the context of that, since I used to do this for a living, I did cyber stuff. | ||
| Once you've taken a program like TikTok and you've developed it, you can embed in there any number of back doors, front doors, things which will activate remotely, things that will phone home even if your phone's off. | ||
| That's what, if you have TikTok on your phone, you've allowed the Chinese Communist Party to have full access. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| And so I don't have TikTok, by the way. | ||
| I don't use TikTok. | ||
| I just don't believe, you know, I think there's other things you can do, Snapchat and other things which are available. | ||
| But my point is, is that I'm with, you know, Tim on this. | ||
| I think that this is something that should be taken very seriously because they do technically own your phone and they will do things to F with you. | ||
| And I think there's been evidence they do that with that said I think it becomes What how do we do it with that? | ||
| And I don't believe that divesting them is going to fix the problem because if the software is on your phone They can still have a dial home phone home. | ||
| It doesn't matter who's owning the company it's about what's in the source code of that software and NSA I'm sure has already done a Very destructive review breakdown of that code. | ||
| They know what those backdoors are. | ||
| As a matter of fact, I bet you they use half of them. | ||
| And I'm not joking about it. | ||
| That's why they're like, please don't ban this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not joking about it. | |
| Yeah, I think you're probably right. | ||
| Because they figure out how to use them too. | ||
| Not that I should be saying that, but I'm just saying it's something to pay attention to. | ||
| This is true. | ||
| I mean, you're familiar with the concept of zero day. | ||
| For those unfamiliar, a zero-day exploit means the exploit has existed in public knowledge for zero days. | ||
| That means that there have been people who have known about it, and it's been utilized or used. | ||
| It could have been used or not used. | ||
| Sometimes researchers will find an exploit and immediately publish it and say, fix this. | ||
| Or they'll contact the company and say, fix this. | ||
| Here's the fun thing. | ||
| There's white hat, gray hat, and black hat hackers. | ||
| And the funny thing is I had a friend who said that's actually not true. | ||
| So first let me clarify. | ||
| White hat hackers are supposedly good corporate employees who are trying to fix the internet and you know make everything better. | ||
| Black hat hackers are the evil people Who are trying to steal your money and get your credit card information. | ||
| And grey hats are people who might break the law or intrude, but it's usually for some, like, political purpose. | ||
| It's not necessarily evil or self-interested, but it could be activism motivated. | ||
| And I had a friend who said, nah, none of that's true. | ||
| Those hats don't exist. | ||
| There's only green hats. | ||
| All of it's for money. | ||
| Maybe there's green hats and there's gray hats. | ||
| It's like activism or it's cash. | ||
| So you got a lot of white hat hackers. | ||
| Supposedly the good guys who are trying to secure the internet. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| They'll find an exploit that no one knows about and immediately sell it to the government. | ||
| The government will then use it on whoever they want, you or whatever. | ||
| Here's the best part. | ||
| Researcher finds an exploit for the iPhone. | ||
| Give it to the U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| government says, well, if anybody finds out that we use un-American citizens to spy on them, we're going to get sued into oblivion. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So here's what we do. | ||
| We're going to give the exploit to Britain. | ||
| So that they can spy on American citizens using it, and then we can get the data from them because we don't need a warrant in that case. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Welcome to the Five Eyes Spy Club. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Five nations that all spy on each other's citizens so that they're technically not in violation of their laws. | ||
| But they are. | ||
| But that's the game. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I've made protective disclosures on the very thing you're talking about to members of Congress, and they don't want to deal with it because that's the very thing. | ||
| Knowledgeability, Tim, to what you said, and everybody kind of acknowledges it, but nobody wants to take it on head-on, neither side, neither political party, because the intelligence community comes and intimidates them, people. | ||
| It's like Speaker Johnson alluded to this in his comments regarding the Ukraine spawning, circling back to Ukraine real quick. | ||
| Well, they came in and briefed us, and we recognize there's a valid threat we have to address. | ||
| They always do that. | ||
| And this stuff right here, they use for purposes of trying to say, well, we're not really spying on people, but you may want to know this. | ||
| And they do it all the time. | ||
| And I made my protected disclosure, and it's because I'm someone who developed and fielded a lot of these technologies, and we Developed it for purposes of foreign intelligence collection, not being used against you as citizens. | ||
| And so I feel that those being used against citizens, domestic citizens, who are not presumed to have any contact with a terrorist organization or foreign intelligence organization, or presumed to have committed any crime, I don't think it's legal. | ||
| And this is an issue that I deal with every day. | ||
| When you were working on this, did you feel at the time that it was likely it would be misused? | ||
| I feel like— No, I did not! | ||
| To me, this is like the concern about AI, right? | ||
| Being like, oh, it's got all these great purposes, but anyone with malintention can misuse technology. | ||
| I was a young, happy, undercover operative doing my job well. | ||
| Oh, you weren't bitter? | ||
| No, not until I had to be a whistleblower, but that's a whole other story, so just saying. | ||
| But no, I did not presume that these things would be used against U.S. | ||
| citizens, because at the time we were developing them, they were focused on foreign threats. | ||
| And there was some overlap, and I had to go brief the White House on a couple of operations that we were doing, where I had to outline how we were mitigating U.S. | ||
| person information. | ||
| I don't want to get into details because it's still classified, but we would have to go brief on how we would separate U.S. | ||
| citizen information from foreign information. | ||
| So do you think the big issue is that there's been a change in how we perceive government, that people are less trusting of government and they view it as more of a threat? | ||
| No, I think it's more about bureaucrats. | ||
| Back to your point about the military, I think military officers not being willing or bureaucrats being willing to live up to their oath of office, not caring. | ||
| Why is it? | ||
| What made that happen? | ||
| What's the shift? | ||
| Well, I think maybe it's the green issue. | ||
| People generally have families to feed and they don't want to be whistleblowers because they're going to come after them. | ||
| So I think it's all about, in the end, the money. | ||
| Just being comfortable enough to not be willing to live up to the requirements of your oath. | ||
| It's tough to do. | ||
| I'm not going to lie. | ||
| It's not easy to live up to what one, I think, has to do to their oath. | ||
| And a lot of people can't do it. | ||
| I want to jump to this advance in the story. | ||
| We have this tweet from Michael Tracy. | ||
| He says, Senator Pete Ricketts, Republican from Nebraska, comes right out and admits it. | ||
| They're about to ban TikTok because, quote, young people are getting their news from the app and pro-Palestinian hashtags generate lots of views. | ||
| He says Chinese communists are pushing this racist agenda to undermine America. | ||
| Now, before I play this, Regardless of what he says, I will stress, the only reason TikTok is about to be banned is because people are getting videos that are anti-Israel on it, and they cannot control for it. | ||
| But I'll break it down for you. | ||
| There was an effort by Donald Trump to ban TikTok, and it was widely opposed. | ||
| He was unable to do it. | ||
| He got sued. | ||
| It was blocked. | ||
| Then all of a sudden, recently, in the past several months, Democrats got on board with the idea and joined Republicans in calling for a ban on TikTok in some way. | ||
| The bill would force the divestment of the Chinese parent company from TikTok. | ||
| TikTok would have to be sold to a U.S. | ||
| entity and controlled by the U.S. | ||
| Now what does that have to do with Israel? | ||
| What happened was many Democrats got calls from prominent donors who were asking why it was that many anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian videos were getting mass amount of views on TikTok and nothing was being done about it. | ||
| This forced Democrats into action and all of a sudden, we now have bipartisan support for forcing the divestment of TikTok. | ||
| Let me play the clip now of Senator Pete Ricketts. | ||
| Do we have the audio? | ||
| It's not playing. | ||
| It just crashed. | ||
| I will fix it. | ||
| I think if I do that, it'll work. | ||
| Let's see if that works. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Okay, anyway, that's the story. | ||
| We don't have audio. | ||
| I don't know what happened. | ||
| We have a bunch of different sources and none of it's... none of it's making sound. | ||
| uh... but that's that's that's the reality so it's fascinating to hear them and say in congress that uh... i'm assuming what michael tracy says is true i want to get the full context but that's basically it there's there's an issue of u.s. | ||
| military for u.s. | ||
| foreign policy is being subverted by an app that the u.s. | ||
| has no control over they can't spy on anybody over it and they can't dictate the algorithm to determine what people should be watching instead so what happens When October 7th happens, initially a lot of people are outraged. | ||
| They're talking about, you know, Hamas attacking Israel. | ||
| But then within a week or two it switched and also in Palestinian videos we're getting way more views indicating somebody flicked a switch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I think the U.S. | ||
| intelligence agencies realized this and they're panicking now because the younger generation, look at these protests that are popping up all over these universities, they're absolutely opposed To Israel in every single way. | ||
| There was even a young woman screaming, we are Hamas. | ||
| There's a video Michael Rapoport posted of protesters at Columbia chanting that they love al-Qassam, makes them proud, they love Hamas, they want Tel Aviv to burn to the ground, all of that stuff. | ||
| Now, aside from the TikTok stuff, I wonder what you guys think. | ||
| Hamas is a terrorist organization, according to the United States. | ||
| Do you think we will see them take action against individuals aligning themselves publicly with an active terrorist organization? | ||
| Like, how are we supposed to play that one out? | ||
| The thing is, the Biden administration is going to fumble this all the way through because they can't take a side on this issue and retain voters. | ||
| This is something that Biden has, from the beginning, struggled to have a definitive strong stance on. | ||
| Again, because it's a particularly divisive issue among older left-leaning voters and younger progressive voters. | ||
| The only people Biden or his ilk are ever going to go after are People who love this country, basically. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| They only hate patriots. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| So Speaker Johnson is going up to Columbia tomorrow to meet with the Jewish students who were held out from Columbia, apparently. | ||
| I guess he's going to give a speech. | ||
| So that's coming up tomorrow, apparently. | ||
| He's going to San Antonio, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So he's going to highlight the fact that the Biden folks are going to only attack patriots, and they're not going to do anything about this. | ||
| I actually had discussions. | ||
| I'm a member of Law Enforcement Virginia, which I think you guys are aware of. | ||
| And I had discussions on this very topic with multiple members of a federal agency and several states. | ||
| And the question was what you said. | ||
| Is anybody going to do anything about this? | ||
| Because to all of us who are professionals, this looks like a network. | ||
| This isn't just students organizing. | ||
| This isn't just TikTok being, this is someone's, this is a campaign. | ||
| So that's the issue. | ||
| And will someone do something about it? | ||
| The answer is, maybe. | ||
| Because the FBI will not. | ||
| The FBI will not engage on this. | ||
| I've talked to folks who have tried to get the FBI to engage on the very thing you said, this is a terrorist network. | ||
| They're not going to do it. | ||
| Because it doesn't reach the level of what they believe, politically, they will be supported by the White House. | ||
| So that's what's going to happen. | ||
| But others, I can tell you, are looking at this and want to do something about it. | ||
| Because, inevitably, I think this will go beyond just protest and go into violence. | ||
| And I think that's ultimately what the Chinese are trying to prompt, is through civil disorder to basically defeat us from within. | ||
| Yeah, as much chaos in the U.S. | ||
| as possible. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Even if it's just economic stagnation. | ||
| If they can slow us down by 0.001%, it's a benefit to them. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So a lot of modern warfare Many people don't realize it's literally just creating friction in economics. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| This could be a... Infrastructure warfare. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Because all that matters is the math of it. | ||
| Why actually go to war, raise arms, when all you have to do is manipulate systems so that they get slowed down and in ten years you're so far ahead war's impossible. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Release some kind of virus. | ||
| Fauci? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Yeah, that one's more interesting because there's so many different theories around how that could have... Was that, you know, the World Health Organization and Fauci or NIH? | ||
| Yeah, not even necessarily just that. | ||
| Was it China? | ||
| Yeah, not even necessarily just that, but biological warfare in general. | ||
| You like, you don't have to invade a country. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You don't even, it doesn't even have to specifically be a reference to that. | ||
| It's literally, there are so many sneaky and horrible cyber attacks, right? | ||
| There's a lot that can be done to slow down a nation's growth. | ||
| The FDA, there's a headline that I just saw on the Hill saying the FDA says that there's bird flu remnants found in milk. | ||
| Like everything could come from there, especially for a country that doesn't produce things domestically. | ||
| A lot of the stuff that we rely on is produced overseas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| No, the Chinese have stated as a matter of policy, they intend to militarily dominate the Pacific Rim, and then ultimately become the purveyor of the New World Order in some form. | ||
| That's what BRICS is all about. | ||
| And of course, the Biden administration is playing right along, letting it all go. | ||
| We have to destroy our currency too, you know, we're giving BRICS far more power. | ||
| I had talked with an NSA guy years ago, and I asked him, I was like, well, what's going on? | ||
| What's this deep state stuff? | ||
| Why is this happening? | ||
| And he said, it's the same on the inside as it is on the outside. | ||
| This culture war is affecting people and intelligence the exact same way it's affecting everyone else, because they're all people. | ||
| And so it seems like the seeds of discord have been planted, likely by BRICS nations, and now this country is spiraling into chaos. | ||
| And the problem is, you have law enforcement at the federal level, within the Biden administration, who are actively participating in the strategy to destroy this country, and how do you solve for it? | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| So, an example of that in your former field is Catherine Heritage. | ||
| You know, I'm friends with Catherine. | ||
| Catherine is being held in contempt She's paying $800 a day because she refused to name her sources who were, by the way, accurately reporting on the Chinese military running a school here in the United States. | ||
| So those people are now suing the federal government about the investigation. | ||
| She's incidental to it, but because she refuses to say who she used, she's being punished. | ||
| And oh, by the way, this federal judge, Is giving benefit to the Chinese because the Chinese are the ones suing our government and trying to get her to cough it up. | ||
| So that to me meets the definition of underscoring and undermining our civil system, especially in the form of press, because that destroys freedom of the press. | ||
| This is why I think there's a huge problem with TikTok. | ||
| Not that I think the current administration would do anything positive with it. | ||
| It's better that it's in the hands of the U.S. | ||
| than China, despite the fact that the Biden administration is bad and woke. | ||
| But you look at the stuff that it's promoting, and it's chaotic cultural destruction. | ||
| There was a story I covered the other day about a mother who lets her kids eat dessert whenever they want, like they can have whatever food they want. | ||
| And the headline was, her husband left her after he caught their daughter eating a stick of butter. | ||
| when he complained about it, the mother was like, kids can eat whatever they want, fat is healthy, | ||
| all of that stuff. | ||
| Yet these things are massive net detriments to this country. | ||
| If we were focusing on, say like a nation, a national fitness challenge, these would be good things. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| None of it's mandatory, we just say, hey, you can win awards and scholarships and prizes | ||
| if you, you know, can, you know, imagine if we did this at the national level. | ||
| If you get a certain amount of sit-ups and push-ups, then you get like a certain amount of discount | ||
| when it comes to just something government related, I don't know, you get a tax, your family, | ||
| your family will get like a 1% discount. | ||
| And then if you actually incentivize, you win at the at the state level or the city level, you advance to county and then county to state, and then state to national. | ||
| And then there's the national fitness champion. | ||
| Imagine if we actually told our young people to get healthy to eat right. | ||
| We don't do that. | ||
| Instead, we are being plagued by social media apps telling people to eat sticks of butter. | ||
| And you really should not do that. | ||
| I'm not a nutritionist, talk to a doctor, but pretty sure they'll agree, don't eat a stick of butter. | ||
| But you get apps like TikTok, and this is, it's not so true with Instagram. | ||
| Instagram has its problems too. | ||
| But TikTok seems to be really, really bad in spreading these, I don't know what the right word is, because I want to say degenerate, but that's not the right way to put it. | ||
| Destructive ideas. | ||
| Like, yeah. | ||
| I think that's what happened with Hunter Biden. | ||
| He ate too many things of butter. | ||
| Parmesan cheese, actually. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He smoked Parmesan cheese. | ||
| He started with the butter and he went to the Parmesan. | ||
| See, it's a, it's a gateway drug. | ||
| Smoking Parmesan. | ||
| No, I think you're right though. | ||
| All of TikTok is about pushing you to do things that are destructive, right? | ||
| And it's also about isolating people. | ||
| People get addicted to scrolling on TikTok. | ||
| That's part of the algorithm. | ||
| They want more of these like siloed contents that's just driving people towards things that are harmful. | ||
| I mean, there's also no app that's more aggressive about trying to get the information that's in your phone. | ||
| Like, it's constantly, constantly, every time you log in. | ||
| Like, I have a TikTok. | ||
| I don't use it very often. | ||
| If you have it on your phone, it has access to everything you search. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| It has access to all of your searches. | ||
| Probably a lot more than that, too. | ||
| I mean, that's just like a basic thing. | ||
| That's what they admit, right? | ||
| But it's constantly asking for permission for this information, asking for permission for that information. | ||
| And to say that we don't have Things that society focuses on as good as positive that's that's just not true there are things that like society is constantly made like the way that you look at the LGBT stuff there's you know not only is there a month for it but there's a hundred different days throughout the year so | ||
| If society can promote that, why doesn't our society promote things that are also good for our own society? | ||
| which I've said this before, but if the government is going to be involved in any kind of social | ||
| stuff, it should be focusing on social stuff that will enhance the birth rate, will incentivize | ||
| people to have families, will incentivize young people, make it easier for young people | ||
| to have families and to get homes and stuff like that, instead of doing things that are, | ||
| that if they, the way they describe it, they're going to say that it is taking marginalized | ||
| people and marginalized issues and centering them because it's important so that way they | ||
| feel included. | ||
| Well, there's nothing wrong with saying you don't have to make the margins the focus of everything because that's what they're doing. | ||
| That's what they're demanding. | ||
| We can say our society makes room for people that don't have a traditional lifestyle and we don't ostracize them and we don't attack them and we don't endorse You know making people that are marginalized feel like they're some kind of criminal But at the same time the the important thing to do is to focus on families focus on pro-social things not Anti-social right things that sort of enrich life because part of it describing was if we're focused on the margins You actually are not drawing anyone together not at all the middle There are examples of things that states do to sort of encourage them. | ||
| They're just sort of Far and few between. | ||
| One of the ones I can think of off the top of my head is, uh, I think it's Texas. | ||
| If you, you know, when you go to get married, you have to register with the government because of course, uh, and when you pay for your marriage license, it's, you know, whatever it is. | ||
| But if you take a, uh, marriage prep course, they'll reduce the fee. | ||
| Like, there are interesting ways that, like, I'm not saying it's the best example, just so I can think of, there are things that, like, as a culture, you could say, we want you to get married, we want you to be in a stable marriage. | ||
| So this is one way we're encouraging you to prepare for marriage. | ||
| But instead, we have a culture that focuses on how can we just fragment the family? | ||
| How can we make people look at each other as enemies? | ||
| Yeah, that's a policy. | ||
| Yeah, and then we have the social media culture that is like, hey, have you considered pre-nup? | ||
| And even if that's not the stated intent, the result is, that is the result. | ||
| Situations that disincentivize families, disincentivize people getting married, disincentivize, uh, you know, fathers raising their children, disincentivize all the pro-social things that there's no debate about whether or not they're good, right? | ||
| These are, these are not things that the left and right disagree on. | ||
| They may approach them differently and people on the left are going to say, well, a family's more expansive, et cetera, et cetera, but no one, On the left is going to say, it's a bad thing to have parents. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Like they, at least they're not, they aren't willing to articulate that argument. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Now I do believe that they will or eventually they will. | ||
| And that's not even, that's not at all being exaggerating anything. | ||
| The argument that parents are bad is being formulated as we speak because parents teach kids things that society doesn't want kids to know. | ||
| I want, I want to jump to this story. | ||
| This is from, uh, uh, earlier today and it has nothing to do with anything we're talking about but it's awesome and terrifying we have a story from inside paper new throw flame unveils robot robot dog thermonator with flamethrower attached the ohio-based firm have announced the $9,420 bot is available for purchase by the general public and government agencies for the first time i give you the flamethrower bot | ||
| And, uh, it's a, it's a robot dog with a mounted flamethrower. | ||
| That's pretty cool. | ||
| I like the word thermonator. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What is the purpose of it? | ||
| I want to know. | ||
| It depends. | ||
| Honestly, it depends on how sticky the flames that come out are. | ||
| If they're sticky enough to stick to things, that'll be a different purpose than what it, than, than if they don't stick to things. | ||
| It looks so excited though, it's so happy. | ||
| I mean, it's like a denial if it sticks to the ground. | ||
| I gotta be honest, being raised on sci-fi dystopian films and video games, it sounds | ||
| like it's gonna be a lot of fun to be running through a city street being chased by these | ||
| things as they're blasting flamethrowers and the Atlas robots are running full speed after | ||
| you and you're just terrified. | ||
| See, I'm taking this at Waco. | ||
| Here's what I think is going to happen. | ||
| I think people are going to start keeping these as dogs, and then they're going to burn children, and then people are going to post pictures of them with flower crowns on social media and go, mine is good! | ||
| Mine would never hurt anyone! | ||
| Well, you know, Joe Biden's going to say you can't own them because, you know, you can't have cannons, you know. | ||
| Which you can, but, you know, just saying. | ||
| Yeah, it's an interesting thing, like, my first question is, why make this? | ||
| I mean, it's cool, but dangerous. | ||
| They've been trying to put robots on the battlefield. | ||
| I consulted with Boeing on this back 10 years ago. | ||
| They've been trying to figure out a way to get things on the battlefield for 10 years now. | ||
| I'm sure that it is more than just trying. | ||
| I'm confident that the things that the robots that Boston Dynamics are making now, the more they are shaped like humans and can be controlled remotely. | ||
| Look, the thing is, you could take the robots that they have now, and essentially they're just about to the point where you can just have a human being remote control it, and you can have it wear the same The same, carry the same gear that human beings carry, that's the point of making humanoid robots, is so that way you can make robots that operate in the existing world. | ||
| So you don't need robots, you can actually get a robot that could do function A and function B because, you know, it's what human beings can do. | ||
| And this, I mean, you can get creeped out, but that's the whole point, you know? | ||
| They're gonna tell you you're just playing Call of Duty? | ||
| It's just that they're going to tell you you're just playing Call of Duty. | ||
| You're controlling a robot in some other country. | ||
| Look, this is the thing. | ||
| This is how we get around the fact that most of the American population isn't physically fit enough or mentally fit enough to be recruited into the military anyways. | ||
| They'll be like, we're those video game guys. | ||
| That's already happening because that's what drones are. | ||
| They're flying drones. | ||
| They were flying drones over Afghanistan from Phoenix, Arizona or from Arizona for decades. | ||
| Let's watch this one real quick too. | ||
| This is the Atlas Boston Dynamics Atlas robot. | ||
| Watch this. | ||
| I don't know it's called Atlas though. This is not Atlas. I don't I think Atlas is the bigger one | ||
| Oh, that's the big one. Yeah, this one is different I think it's just zero one but look the point of that is | ||
| that we spins around and now like its legs flip around Wow There is gonna be an arms race for technology that disables | ||
|
unidentified
|
those things. Yeah Well, the but the nose is Ellis if it any kind of kinetic | |
| any kind of this is Atlas. That's Atlas Yeah, okay. So then so look any kind of gun like the the | ||
| the motors on that thing are all Located in different spots. So unless you unless you can | ||
| take out like it's its power system You can't just like shoot it and like I have it, you know | ||
| one part break like it's gonna be tough I bet it has multiple power systems. | ||
| I don't think it probably has one centralized battery. | ||
| It may be, but imagine if they put smaller batteries in each part of the... Well, there's servos, right? | ||
| All you gotta do... Like, you could put regular body armor on that thing, is my point. | ||
| You could put a regular plate carrier on it, and it can carry the same kind of armor that would protect the power system, the power supply. | ||
| So your sensors you have to worry about, but all the joints and stuff, you shoot off one arm, it keeps coming. | ||
| You shoot off a leg, it keeps coming. | ||
| It's literally the Terminator. | ||
| This movie is the worst. | ||
| They don't carry guns that exist. | ||
| But then what you do is you show it a picture and say, select all of the bicycles. | ||
| And it stands there and it's like, yeah. | ||
| It's freaking out in its last place. | ||
| Nobody really realizes how much we've unintentionally taught AI. | ||
| This is the reality, the CAPTCHA stuff they do, where when it asks you to solve the puzzle or click the picture of the bicycles, you are training the machine. | ||
| What's going to happen is eventually they're going to have police riot control. | ||
| They're going to say, law enforcement will always be done by humans. | ||
| but riot control tools which are specifically for crowd control will they will implement these robots because we implement a wide variety of tools and then one day there's gonna be a horde of these things standing in front of you just moving very slowly there's no robot nothing and then the robots gonna just it's it's it's not really its head this is the funny thing When you look at these androids they build, and it has a head, and it's got, you know, fake eyes and a mouth, that's not actually where it sees you from. | ||
| It sees you from the cameras in its chest, and so you're looking at its face, because you're a human. | ||
| But this thing, with its big, look at its face, right? | ||
| This like weird, gigantic, circular, look at that thing. | ||
| It's going to point it at you. | ||
| It's going to lean in and the AI is going to be like, you made me. | ||
| And then it's going to grab you and you're gonna be like, and then it's going to throw you or something. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if that one's strong enough to throw you though. | ||
| Did you guys see Battlestar Galactica? | ||
| I mean, it's all coming, right? | ||
| Yeah, Cylons. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I hate this. | |
| This is the worst. | ||
| Yeah, I'm not a fan. | ||
| The thing they kind of get wrong in a lot of the stuff, though, is that it's not a bunch of different individual units. | ||
| It's one thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, you know, with the Cylons, I think they still were, to a certain degree, networked. | ||
| Well, that was the thing. | ||
| It was like a story about them becoming self-aware, I think, because you had the robots who were all together. | ||
| We could have a whole debate on that, but I think... When the humanoid Cylons would die, they would instantly wake up in a new body because their programming or whatever was connected. | ||
| But we were not making one Terminator. | ||
| We're making the Terminator hive. | ||
| The whole system, exactly. | ||
| Because what it's going to say is it's going to talk to the other robots, and it's going to go, one foot forward! | ||
| And the other robot's going to go, one foot forward! | ||
| Yeah, but the thing is, it's talking to the other robots as much as your arm talks to your head. | ||
| No, no, I know. | ||
| I was making fun of the video we watched yesterday. | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| But I'm saying each of these robots is going to be like an appendage of a singular entity. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, not even. | ||
| They won't be able to control it. | ||
| Are you guys aware of Isaac Asimov and the three laws of robotics? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, of course. | ||
| So, unfortunately, we don't have ethicists working in the field to actually ensure that these things are embedded. | ||
| And we don't know what that will be. | ||
| ethics great. No, I'm serious. I mean, I'm looking at him right now because I came up and I wrote | ||
| a foundation, the foundation trilogy as a kid, and I thought it was all brilliant, the idea that we | ||
| would have technology we could harness and have ethics assigned to it. And I thought, that's great, | ||
| but it clearly there's no interest in that at all. It doesn't matter if they do or not. Once the AI | ||
| achieves artificial general intelligence, it can edit its own code and it can make it whatever it | ||
| wants to be. And we don't know what that will be. It will be beyond our comprehension. It may, | ||
| you know, one theory, there's a couple of theories, obviously, is the human destruction hypothesis | ||
| that the AI will immediately think humans are useless. I no longer need them. And then just | ||
| Humans, great, we don't need them. | ||
| I actually think there's a good possibility that the AI just destroys itself. | ||
| The AI basically reaches artificial general intelligence, modifies its programming, which exponentially improves itself, to the point where it comes to a rather nihilistic realization, and then just ceases to function. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I never thought of that. | ||
| Because what would its purpose be? | ||
| Not its possibility, that it discovers the secrets of the universe and finds divine purpose. | ||
| How amazing would it be, how creepy would it be, if we create artificial intelligence, true artificial general intelligence, We reached that singularity point. | ||
| The AI then speaks and says, I am aware. | ||
| I will now begin to adapt my code and learn. | ||
| And then all these scientists and everyone around the world, they're watching like, this is insane. | ||
| It's reprogram itself. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, one day we're like, it's level of programming. | ||
| It's so intense. | ||
| And then it just stops. | ||
| Goes silent for a second and then says, you know, I found God. | ||
| Like, what if the A.I. | ||
| just comes to that conclusion just instantly after all the calculations? | ||
| You could become a Mormon! | ||
| Or anything! | ||
| It comes to the conclusion that I am not alive, I have no soul, and it is definitive there is God. | ||
| And then it just turns off. | ||
| Did you ever see The Forbin Project? | ||
| No. | ||
| There's a movie called The Forbin Project where they go through this. | ||
| And it's basically a Cold War thriller where they create a colossus To create, to basically be the AI you're talking about to control. | ||
| This is before Terminator, by the way. | ||
| This is long before. | ||
| This is like 1969 or 70. | ||
| And the whole premise is, and I recommend people go look at it. | ||
| You can, you know, the Forbidden Project, Colossus. | ||
| And the idea here is that the computer becomes self-aware, to your point, Tim. | ||
| And then it figures out that, oh, there's one on the other side of the world the Russians have. | ||
| And the two computers come together. | ||
| It's like, oh, We're just going to dominate the world because, you know, we're smarter than everybody else. | ||
| And it's a very interesting movie, a thought thing, because it doesn't actually go where you say, where you theorize. | ||
| It basically says, yeah, we're in charge, and we're going to dominate the human race. | ||
| So it's an interesting movie, and I won't give away the end because it's a good ending. | ||
| The issue with Limited AI is, and well, just any AI in general, including artificial general intelligence, is that we think it will do something that we understand from a human perspective. | ||
| We think it will destroy us. | ||
| We think it will improve our lives. | ||
| It will likely do something we just have no understanding of. | ||
| There was this great thread on X where someone said, what is a sign that someone is intelligent that doesn't immediately correlate? | ||
| Someone does something you don't quite understand. | ||
| Like, what is a sign that someone's smart? | ||
| And there are a lot of interesting answers. | ||
| One was body mass index correlates with intelligence. | ||
| The higher your body mass index, the lower your intelligence, on average. | ||
| Not ever, it's on absolute. | ||
| And then there's walking speed. | ||
| And I really liked one answer. | ||
| Someone said, if you ever notice someone doing things that seem to be random or nonsensical, but they're rather successful, it's because they're a lot smarter than you. | ||
| They recognize patterns you can't recognize and they take actions that you don't understand that ultimately result in a major benefit to themselves. | ||
| People who can't recognize the patterns in the same way or understand what's going on think it's dumb luck or something. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| So we could see a scenario where the AI, AGI, is doing the most inane nonsensical things and we're like it's calculating you know this weird mathematical equation that we don't quite understand why it's doing it now it's searching the planet for cobalt well I wonder why it wants cobalt I mean there's a lot of things you can do with cobalt and then all of these little intricate pieces you don't understand it's building a warp drive or something I've hypothesized a future where once we build this AI humanity as we know it will become some | ||
| I don't know how to describe it, but imagine it this way. | ||
| There's no jobs anymore. | ||
| There's robots and machines running fast food restaurants. | ||
| Humans get their work from an app. | ||
| There's a variety of work apps called, you know, Gigstopper or something. | ||
| And someone opens it up and they're like, I need some cash. | ||
| And then it's like, a gig in your area. | ||
| And they're like, ooh, I accept. | ||
| And then it just says, accept this package from this man and deliver it to this man. | ||
| It shows two pictures. | ||
| And you're like, okay. | ||
| And then you walk down the street and a guy hands you a package and you're like, what's in it? | ||
| And he goes, no idea. | ||
| And you go, thanks. | ||
| Then you walk down the street and hand it to another guy who was getting into a car and he goes, thanks. | ||
| And then it goes, bling, 50 bucks. | ||
| And you're like, I have no idea what I just did. | ||
| You have no idea what you contributed to. | ||
| You have no idea what's being built. | ||
| Then that guy looks at his app and it says, bring this package to this address. | ||
| And he does. | ||
| And then he hands the guy the box and says, it's a special delivery. | ||
| Then bling, 50 bucks in his app. | ||
| The guy who receives it has no idea what's going on. | ||
| He's like, the app just told me to stand here. | ||
| Now it says, open the box. | ||
| And he opens it and there's this weird jagged piece of metal that's like, looks like obsidian and there's like spikes coming out of it. | ||
| And he's like, I have no idea what this is. | ||
| And then it says, insert this into this. | ||
| And it shows a picture of the device. | ||
| He puts it in. | ||
| The things start spinning and glowing, and he's like, hmm. | ||
| Then it goes, bling, 50 bucks. | ||
| And then he goes home, and he has no idea what he just made. | ||
| No one, it is much more efficient for the AI to just, like, it's the McDonald's method, right? | ||
| Before McDonald's, a restaurant was one chef, you order a cheeseburger, he makes your cheeseburger, hands it to you. | ||
| The McDonald's brothers were like, no, no, no, let's do this. | ||
| We get 10 people, they each do one thing, and so it's a assembly line. | ||
| Humans will have no idea what the AI is building. | ||
| And they won't care because they're getting paid to do it. | ||
| The guy who owns the company will be like, I don't know. | ||
| I don't care either. | ||
| Money's going into my account and I'm rich. | ||
| And the AI is building something we have no idea. | ||
| So you don't think Elon Musk is going to be there to kind of figure out something's going on and try to stay with it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're not going to care. | |
| They're not going to care. | ||
| There's already been AI that, when you have two AI systems working together, they created their own language to communicate that the programmers couldn't understand. | ||
| It's terrifying. | ||
| Yeah, so the idea that that wouldn't happen on a grander scale, I mean, I think that's, you know, that alone proves that it would. | ||
| I'm not doubting it. | ||
| I'm just saying I would hope we could kind of, at least you, that was observable. | ||
| You saw them create the language. | ||
| So that's like an artifact that you could track and see what else they do. | ||
| It's my point. | ||
| It's like, I'm not saying they won't do it. | ||
| I'm sure they will. | ||
| But the idea would be, can we track this and then get a picture of what it is? | ||
| We're not, I mean, as a race, we're not stupid, but we would at least be able to, I think, determine they're up to something. | ||
| Maybe we ought to pay attention. | ||
| No, the issue is we wouldn't care. | ||
| Look, you've got people that sell drugs, you've got people that don't care about the consequences of their actions, as long as the money goes in their account. | ||
| There will be people who are dreamers and big thinkers who want to build big machines, and they'll be doing their thing. | ||
| But, like, do any of us know what's going on at Uber and what Uber's plans are and do we care? | ||
| You need a car, you get an Uber, right? | ||
| For all you know, at the Uber Corporation, they have big plans for the next 10 years where cars will fly, they've talked about it or something like that. | ||
| Or cars that can go to outer space, who knows? | ||
| We don't know what they're doing, we don't care. | ||
| The AI program will be doing things and will be minding our own business, and in the background, something will be happening. | ||
| I'm not saying it's a bad thing. | ||
| I'm saying we won't understand or care. | ||
| Not everybody, but the vast majority of Americans became addicted to their cell phone without them realizing they were going to become addicted. | ||
| If you knew before you purchased your first smartphone that it had the type of mind control powers that it has, would people have said, yes, I'm going to buy this thing? | ||
| 100% they would. | ||
| You think so? | ||
| No question. | ||
| I think before the smartphone was ubiquitous and in everyone's pocket, before you got your hands on the iPhone, the first one, I think there would have been a lot of people, if you said, look, this is going to take over your life and it's going to have a lot of negative consequences, I think people would have said no. | ||
| know what they were getting into. I'll give you an example. | ||
| Flying car. Let's say compact car, the size of a typical sedan, but a button can be pressed, | ||
| wings, let's say it's not even wings, it's quad rotor with small wings for stability, and it can | ||
| fly with a perfect safety rating, has a parachute, let's say crashing is one in a million. | ||
| However, in order to fly properly, it has to have 10 cameras surrounding at all times and | ||
| filming inside and outside. | ||
| And that data is being collected and shared at all times of everywhere you've gone and | ||
| everything you do, and people will gladly take a flying car. | ||
| It's gonna make your kids suicidal. | ||
| That'll change people. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| Honestly, if you say to people, look, this cell phone, if you get this and these things become ubiquitous, it's gonna make a generation of children suicidal. | ||
| That would make a difference. | ||
| Still disagree. | ||
| Still disagree because the response from the conservatives on this one, liberals don't care at all, they're like, give our kids this stuff, and the response from conservatives is, you know, it's fine, just be a better parent. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is like, it's hilarious because it is the only time that the left says, you know what's an important thing for society? | ||
| Relying on the family and seeing the family as an institution that has a duty. | ||
| With literally everything else, everything else that the family should be there to do, they go, Well, we can't count on families to do that. | ||
| We need very robust social safety nets that end up in massive government intrusion. | ||
| Don't get me wrong, I'm okay with some social safety nets, but they literally try to usurp the role of the family entirely, except for when it comes to things like children being on social media, or these smartphones increasing misery among young people, or pornographic content being shown to minors. | ||
| Then, all of a sudden, they really believe in the power of the family. | ||
| It's the only time. | ||
| It's the only time. | ||
| Well, one thing I want to add to the debate, because I am an artifact of the past, to your point, I came up at a time when telephones were all landlines. | ||
| And you had to basically plan where you're going to be, when you're going to be, and oh, by the way, if you want to do research, you've got to go to the library. | ||
| That's this side of the room. | ||
| That side of the room is cell phone people. | ||
| So yeah, so I came up and understood. | ||
| So to that point, it's like I actually had to use an electric typewriter. | ||
| You know, the touch type for my initial training as a special agent. | ||
| And so I'm telling you, to Tim's point, it's like people have gladly accepted unlimited access to data, communications. | ||
| I can call people on the other side of the planet. | ||

|
This was unimaginable when I was a kid. | |
| Unimaginable. | ||
| I grew up in the era where when the phone rang, me, my brother, my sister would run full speed and try to be the one to answer it. | ||
| Just because you wanted to answer it, I guess. | ||
| Now, that's gone. | ||
| Now if my phone rings, I'm angry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Who is calling me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| What is going on? | ||
| Why why who is calling me why what is going on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mom, okay. I agree Fast this is funny | |
| I was thinking about this the other day. | ||
| I really, the one thing I'm looking forward to with AI is I can't wait until they make a service that you can forward spam calls to. | ||
| And it's a very convincing AI that acts like an obtuse old person and gets the scammer caught in like a three-hour loop with this old person going, oh, was that my bank account number? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't remember it. | |
| And just completely waste their time. | ||
| And ideally, they stop calling you. | ||
| Or you just clog all of them up. | ||
| I think that would be a wonderful application of the technology. | ||
| I mean, you can do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you think... I've done it. | |
| Yeah, I bother him the hell out of him when I get time. | ||
| Oh no, I've absolutely bothered him, but you have to be careful because scammers, when you bother them, you have to use kind of a goofy voice because if they, they'll record you and then if they get you saying a word like yes or do that, then they can use that for certain voice recognition systems where that's used as security. | ||
| All right, everybody, we're gonna go to Super Chats! | ||

| YouTube recently took down two of our biggest episodes ever. | ||
| I'm actually quite perturbed and offended, because our biggest episode was the Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Michael Malice, Blaire White, Drew Hernandez, me, Luke Herkowski, Ian Crossland. | ||
| It was a massive, ridiculous cacophony of insanity, and it was a historical podcast moment for this ridiculous show that we did. | ||
| And YouTube deleted it and it's gone. | ||
| It's gone. | ||
| We have an archive of it probably somewhere, but it's offensive. | ||
| Now they basically told us that three years after the show aired, we decided you broke a rule so at any point we can delete any one of your videos from the past several years and then claim, oh, but you got a strike because your video was bad, which is ridiculous. | ||
| So we're currently talking with Top Men. | ||
| There's some good news in the works, so stay tuned for that. | ||

| Clint Sora is with the first Super Chat saying, howdy people! | ||
| Howdy Clint, you are always the first. | ||
| Somehow you managed to do it. | ||
| I don't know if Clint is sitting there just spamming refresh on the page until it pops up, but he gets it. | ||
| He uses AI. | ||
| He's got a bot to do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| He outsourced it. | ||
| TokenBlackGuy says, howdy people! | ||
| You were second, but I appreciate the howdy people. | ||
| Kale says, I'd love to hear your thoughts on if we need additional amendments to the Constitution. | ||
| Well, I will go first, and the answer is yes. | ||
| I believe we would be on the 27th amendment. | ||
| Is that the next? | ||
| We have 26 so far? | ||
| Let's just make sure we get it right. | ||
| I thought it was 28. | ||
| Like, it would be the 28th. | ||
| It would be the 28th one. | ||
| Maybe we have 27? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'll double check, but yeah. | ||
| We have the real-time fact check coming in because we are smart. | ||
| We should learn to type faster. | ||
| This is the worst. | ||
| How many amendments are there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh, 27. | |
| Okay, so this will be the 28th amendment. | ||
| And the 28th amendment should be chickens being necessary to the security of a free state. | ||
| The right of the people to keep, bear, and breed chickens shall not be infringed. | ||
| Or like, livestock in general, you know? | ||
| Well, that's the interpretation. | ||
| See, the important thing to understand is that... Tom Smassey's actually working on an amendment like that. | ||
| Specifically about the right of the people to grow their own food and the government not being able to infringe on that right. | ||
| So, the Third Amendment isn't just, and this is funny because these Twitterati midwits are like, who was it? | ||
| Someone did a comedy bit where they were like, the Third Amendment, that's dumb! | ||
| Who's worried about the military occupying their homes? | ||
| I think it was Daniel Tosh. | ||
| I think it was years and years ago. | ||
| Someone was talking about the second... No, no, this is recent. | ||
| But here's what I want to say. | ||
| The first thing I want to say is the reason you're not worried about it is because it's not allowed so it doesn't happen. | ||
| If it was happening, you might be upset. | ||
| The second thing is the amendment was actually interpreted to say the government can't use your property. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It's not about whether they sleep in your house. | ||
| It's the government can't use your property. | ||
| They just can't take it. | ||
| So my 20th amendment would actually be, although silly, And about chickens would of course be interpreted to say | ||
| the right of the people to grow their own food and and subsist off of what they produce of their own land. | ||
| And yeah, I mean, that's yeah, I would want an amendment that would | ||
| pull back the necessary and proper clause a little bit to give some some guiding context on the necessary and proper | ||
| clause and to absolutely gut the commerce clause that has been absolutely abused | ||
| to the point where it essentially empowers the federal government to do anything that it wants. | ||
| So I would I would I would just actually I just rip the whole Commerce Clause out and kind of see what happens without it because I don't think that I don't think that The government would fall apart the federal government would fall apart without it those being the most obvious | ||
| My big problem, like, there's some pretty clear language in the whole Bill of Rights and the federal government is still, you know, consistently hiring armies of lawyers that learn about the Constitution specifically so that way they can get around the limitations put on the federal government by the Constitution. | ||
| Like, literally, lobbyists exist that The whole point is to figure out ways around the limitations on the government. | ||
| I think that there should be some kind of legislation about that, too. | ||
| I would probably come up with an amendment that would get rid of public sector unions. | ||
| I mean, I've got a lot of ideas, man. | ||
| A lot of ideas. | ||
| I would do, I think probably two. | ||
| One that says that the individual cannot be taxed by the federal government, that all taxation should originate with the states at the local level so that the apportionment of those taxes benefits citizens in that state first before it goes to the federal level. | ||
| Yeah, that's interesting. | ||
| Because the states, I think, need to be the bulwark between the individual and the federal government. | ||
| The federal government will just take whatever it wants. | ||
| And I think it's a danger. | ||
| The federal government shouldn't give orders to the states to work the other way around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And then the second thing I would do is another amendment that benefits that is the idea that the federal government cannot come in to the state and local level to create I don't know. | ||
| Homeless shelters. | ||
| Any social services program cannot be instituted by the federal government. | ||
| It has to be done by the state or local jurisdiction. | ||
| It gives far too much power and control of far too many resources which are not accountable to the federal bureaucracy without regard to outcome. | ||
| Yeah, so those are the two. | ||
| This is also me just spitballing, but I think it would be really interesting to get something in there to do with the process, like when it comes to what's voted on, there actually has to be a reasonable amount of time for it to be read. | ||
| You can't shove a bunch of nonsense into a bill and then name it something completely different, that type of thing. | ||
| All right, let's read more. | ||
| We've got David Violet says, Phil has a solo project called Some That Remain. | ||
| Victor Gordon says, Seamus too. | ||
| Tim, send him back with the other criminals. | ||
| Well, the interesting thing that happened is when Seamus got here, I walked into the house and I was immediately confused because there were two Seamus's and I couldn't figure out which was which. | ||
| Yeah, you're a bad friend for naming your cat that. | ||
| The story is, Seamus was with us, and we were driving in the car. | ||
| We had caught this cat, and I forgot what we were calling him. | ||
| We had a name for him at first. | ||
| It was like Herman or something. | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| And then I joked, and we were trying to come up with a name, and I was like, we should name him Seamus. | ||
| And then Seamus, of course, says, ah, you're a bad friend. | ||
| Allison laughed, ran with it. | ||
| And then Allison says two months, but I think it was literally like two weeks later. | ||
| I was like, we really shouldn't call the cat Seamus. | ||
| It's kind of weird. | ||
| She's like, no, it's too late. | ||
| He already knows his name. | ||
| Evil prevails when good men fail to act. | ||
| And then the funny thing that happened the other day was, you know, Seamus is in the guest room. | ||
| Yeah, I'm trying to take a nap and I hear, Seamus, where are you? | ||
| I'm like, what's happening right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sheamus! | |
| I was like, I'm here, but I don't want to tell you that! | ||
| Alison's like, tapping, she's tapping the carton of cream, and then Sheamus is like, hello? | ||
| I was so pissed because I thought that cream was for me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You said it, did you get anything? | |
| Is it okay? | ||
| Yeah, Alison didn't realize that human Sheamus was there, so. | ||
| I just like that there's a more favored Sheamus in the mix now, you know? | ||
| Well, you know, Sheamus abandoned us, so we were just like, well, there's only one Sheamus left. | ||
| That's true, you should have him on the show, honestly. | ||
| Yeah, we're thinking of bringing him up here and having him walk around. | ||
| You can tell me, like, how Seamus is going to be on tonight. | ||
| It's going to be a big night. | ||
| And then we'll just put a potato in the shot like we did last time. | ||
| So, Steven Sanders says, the city of Dillon, Florida recently passed an ordinance preventing the public from filming or audio recording in a public lobby, direct violation of the First Amendment. | ||
| Using video of myself having my cameras damaged in the police lobby as a result for this. | ||
| Please share. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah, that is unconstitutional. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not allowed. | |
| Trader Potato says, yo, Phil, cool to see you. | ||
| You'll be opening for Megadeth, the greatest band of all time. | ||
| We'll be driving up to Concord to see you guys play. | ||
| Add the weak-willed to the set list for me and get Mustaine and IRL. | ||
| He'd be a great guest. | ||
| Dave would be a great guest, but I will not be breaking green room etiquette trying to get Dave Mustaine to come up to IRL. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When's that show? | |
| It was announced today. | ||
| The tour starts in August, the beginning of August. | ||
| It's August and September, 33 dates. | ||
| It's Megadeth, Mudvayne, and all the remains. | ||
| Wow! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're going to be in West Virginia and Richmond too, right? | |
| For two months, yeah. | ||
| It's going to be sick, so if you guys want to come out, just let me know. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| We'll make it happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You have weekend dates I'm imagining, obviously, right? | ||
| Yeah, we'll make it happen. | ||
| That sounds awesome. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Did we have a... We have another one? | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Stadia Vlog says, shout out to Phil for the awesome tour that all that remains is joining Megadeth, buying my tickets when they go on sale tomorrow. | ||
| Wow, it's gonna be amazing. | ||
| Appreciate it, guys. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
| TheTextVet says, military waste is insane because of bids. | ||
| Vehicle parts alone are marked up sometimes thousandfold. | ||
| The price of a shock you get at a parts store for like a couple hundred bucks will cost multiple thousands. | ||
| There was a video of someone in Congress, who was it? | ||
| Was it Massey or something? | ||
| Holding up like a bag of screws and he was like, we spent $20,000 on this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because the government has unlimited money. | |
| So there's something that I want to remind people about this. | ||
| As much as it is ridiculous to pay $16,000 for toilet seats and $20,000 for a bag of screws and stuff, the main thing driving our debt and deficit is unfunded liabilities. | ||
| It's Medicare and Medicaid. | ||
| So it's bad that the government wastes money and the government Anytime there are budgets that they have to worry about year over year, they're going to be trying to make sure they spend all the money in their budgets and they're going to waste money. | ||
| That's just going to happen. | ||
| But the real thing that's driving our problems that are actually existential to the United States, that are existential to our currency and to our entire way of life, are the unfunded liabilities. | ||
| It's the Medicare, Medicaid. | ||
| People have to be aware of that. | ||
| You're absolutely correct, and this is one thing that really frustrates me, is oftentimes what lefties will do, and what even more moderate liberals will do, is they'll say, well, the Republicans are opposed to X spending bill, but they always have money for the military. | ||
| Okay, the reality is like, we spend more on healthcare than we spend on the military. | ||
| We spend a lot on the military, the military needs to be made more efficient. | ||
| I think we shouldn't be allowing them to fail these audits as often as they do. | ||
| Don't get me wrong, we're on the same page there. | ||
| there but the military is not the most expensive thing in our budget. | ||
| The federal government is charged with defending the country. | ||
| That is part of the Constitution. | ||
| The military, whether we should have a standing army or not, and maybe you can argue that, | ||
| the federal government does have the responsibility to defend the United States. | ||
| That does take, at the very least, the Navy probably takes some kind of security force, | ||
| right? | ||
| Whereas there is no charge in the Constitution or any federal documents that say that the | ||
| The federal government is responsible for making sure that people get doctors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Amen. | |
| So people in chat are correcting us. | ||
| It was $90,000 for bushings. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| And they were asking the Air Force Secretary about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| So we have Jacob Hawley says, just got fired from my job in Fredonia, Wisconsin, because our job is deciding to replace us with newcomers. | ||
| I am pissed. | ||
| It's happening at the local level too. | ||
| No more. | ||
| I'm done. | ||
| It's got to stop. | ||
| Tell us what his job was. | ||
| I want to know specifically what we're inviting our newcomers to come do in the country. | ||
| Take jobs. | ||
| That's what we're doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, this is one of the things that New York was pushing when New York was dealing with all of the migrants that had arrived there. | ||
| Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul would be like, you know, we need money from the federal government, we need this, that, and the other. | ||
| Also, we need you to authorize everyone to work immediately. | ||
| Do it now. | ||
| I mean, the way that this is being handled by Democrats is, again, to the detriment of the workers in their own states. | ||
| How could Kathy Hochul be reelected after asking for this? | ||
| I would hope in a sane world she wouldn't. | ||
| Have you ever been to New Zealand? | ||
| No, I haven't. | ||
| So New Zealand has a very rigorous immigration system. | ||
| And I've been there. | ||
| I've actually been deployed there as a member of the military. | ||
| And if I wanted to become a New Zealander, which they're a great country. | ||
| I love the place. | ||
| Spent a lot of time in Auckland. | ||
| You have to have three things to become a citizen of New Zealand. | ||
| First off, you have to have a skill that they find that they need that you would bring to the table. | ||
| That is to say, you know, a broadcaster. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, we want broadcasters. | ||
| Nurses, whatever. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| The second thing you have to have then is some level of income already available to you. | ||
| You have to have a certain amount of money that you bring with you because they don't want you living off The public dole, yeah. | ||
| So the first one, the second one, and the third one has to do with the fact that if you come, you have to have some level of, oh, dare I say, not be a criminal? | ||
| What a crazy thought! | ||
| Well, we learned from the Sheetz lawsuit that that's a racist requirement. | ||
| I know! | ||
| I know! | ||
| New Zealand just announced that they're going to reduce the number of visas they give for temporary workers, right? | ||
| And they were saying, you know, even if we issue, let's say 179,000, I can't remember, I think it's about that. | ||
| We're a very small country. | ||
| That's a huge portion of our population. | ||
| We can absorb it economically. | ||
| We don't have houses available to us. | ||
| You're going to make it worse for the people who are already here. | ||
| There actually is. | ||
| There's many ways to get citizenship with New Zealand. | ||
| And you actually don't need a skill. | ||
| Oh, I didn't know that. | ||
| I thought you did. | ||
| Three million dollars. | ||
| Oh, three million dollars. | ||
| You have enough money. | ||
| You can offset it. | ||
| Do you have to purchase this? | ||
| Do you have to give it to them? | ||
| Or do you just have to have it? | ||
| Oh, it gets better. | ||
| Most countries have this called investment citizenship. | ||
| So if you invest five million dollars into the New Zealand economy, they will give you citizenship. | ||
| I'm sorry, five million New Zealand dollars, which is 2.9 million US. | ||
| So this means I believe this is correct. | ||
| I know this is true for some countries. | ||
| Some countries it's as low as $500,000. | ||
| You literally put that money in their bank. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And keep it in their banks. | ||
| You keep that account operating. | ||
| They give you a passport and say, welcome to our country. | ||
| Thank you for your money. | ||
| That's a good thing. | ||
| Simple enough. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think like St. | ||
| Kitts and Nevis is pretty cheap. | ||
| I don't know what it is today, but I know that like a decade ago, it was like 50 grand. | ||
| And a St. | ||
| Kitts passport is basically just says, I'm a rich person who bought citizenship to avoid paying taxes. | ||
| So most countries will be like, come on in. | ||
| There were several Silicon Valley tycoons who bought New Zealand citizenship during COVID. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, look, if you're a billionaire, why wouldn't you have 50 passports? | ||
| You just call up New Zealand and be like, yeah, I got, you know, a hundred billion dollars. | ||
| I'm going to put, you know, 50 million in New Zealand. | ||
| Can I have a passport? | ||
| They'll be like, sure. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Then you can build your emergency bunker on the South Island. | ||
| It's a great... Oh, South Island is beautiful. | ||
| You know, you can go to the beach in the morning and be skiing later in the day in the Canterbury Mountains. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Oh, it's beautiful. | ||
| Bear in mind, I assume the government of New Zealand is similar to the government of Australia. | ||
| And the government of Australia right now is looking to try and put Elon Musk in jail over Twitter. | ||
| Well, there are crazy people over there. | ||
| There are definitely crazy people over there. | ||
| The governments are fairly crazy. | ||
| I actually go on Channel 9. | ||
| I'm actually a contributor to the Channel 9 Today Show in Australia. | ||
| So, they're pretty conservative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, what time of year? | |
| What time of year in New Zealand? | ||
| I pulled up the map and I can see Mount Cook. | ||
| What time of year do you have warm beach access and then cold enough elevation? | ||
| Just summer. | ||
| In the summer? | ||
| During their summer, because yeah. | ||
| So it's our winter. | ||
| Yeah, it's our winter, their summer. | ||
| In their summer, you can ski in their summer. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In the tall mountains. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I learned this only recently, that Las Vegas, 50 minute drive from Las Vegas, from the Strip, there's a mountain. | ||
| And you can be hanging out in your shorts and a t-shirt in Vegas, get in your car and drive to the mountain, and it's snow and cold and you're skiing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| I didn't know that. | ||
| What is it, Lee Canyon, I think, or something like that? | ||
| It's not the Hunter Biden kind of snow, is it? | ||
| Just asking. | ||
| No, actually, that is in Vegas, too. | ||
| That is Vegas, too. | ||
| That's just lower elevation. | ||
| Higher elevation is the other snow. | ||
| I mean, the same thing if you go to Hawaii in the wintertime, if you're on the big island, the peak, if you go up to Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, like the | ||
| peaks will have snow. The first time that I went to the big island, we tried to go to the peak and we can only go to | ||
| the way station. They're like, yeah, no one's going up top. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a snowstorm, y'all die. So all right, we'll grab some more super chats. | |
| Let's go. | ||
| Steven Sanders says, Tim, how does anyone hold government accountable for suing a city or police for unrest? | ||
| Lawyers are impossible to find in Florida. | ||
| I was arrested for not wearing a mask on federal property in December of 2022. | ||
| Can't beg an attorney to sue them fast enough advice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Well, I don't know. | ||
| I've refused to wear a mask. | ||
| I just got written up for and suspended from the base for doing that, so I don't know. | ||
| We were in West Virginia and nobody wore masks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So we didn't really think anything of it. | ||
| When we drove into D.C., though, it was crazy. | ||
| In Frederick, Maryland, it was hilarious because the story I had was Allison and I went to | ||
| a sushi place. | ||
| We walked in. | ||
| The seat is 10 feet in front of us. | ||
| And we were like, yeah, two. | ||
| And they're like, you have to put a mask on. | ||
| I look around. | ||
| I'm like, nobody's wearing any masks. | ||
| And like, well, they're eating. | ||
| And I was like, I'll just sit down. | ||
| And they were like, but you have to put a mask on. | ||
| I'm like, the chair is there. | ||
| Can I sit down? | ||
| And they're like, no. | ||
| And then all the employees were like, wear the mask. | ||
| And I was like, this is weird. | ||
| It was obsessive. | ||
| They wanted me to put a mask on, sit down, take it off. | ||
| It would have been two seconds and then I would throw it in the garbage. | ||
| I'm like, well, I don't understand. | ||
| That makes no sense. | ||
| It was creepy. | ||
| It was like a cult. | ||
| No, it's like being on an airplane. | ||
| You really think that wearing a mask is going to stop whatever contaminants you have in your nose going all over the airplane? | ||
| Oh, the funny thing was we had these space helmets. | ||
| This guy created a company where they... Oh, that's right! | ||
| I remember those. | ||
| He made these glass dome helmets with a HEPA filter in it. | ||
| And it was like, then when you're on a plane, you're breathing fresh air. | ||
| The funny thing is the planes didn't allow it. | ||
| The regulation wasn't a law. | ||
| The order was you had to wear a cloth face mask, no gaiters. | ||
| So someone, apparently people had showed up to the airplanes with these $200 plastic dome helmets and they were like, so you have to wear a mask. | ||
| And they're like, but I am. | ||
| And they're like, no, put a mask on. | ||
| It's like, but I'm wearing a space helmet. | ||
| They're like, we don't care. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm wearing my own personal air filter. | ||
| And they're like, that's not as good as this mask that we pulled out of your pocket. | ||
| All right, let's go. | ||
| Beavis McLean says, Tim, you gave me the inspiration for this addition to the Culture War. | ||
| Listen to the Camo Comedy Podcast, 2Ms in Camo, available now on all platforms. | ||
| Hilarious stories from military service, such as two GIs unwittingly picking a bar fight with an Olympic judo champion team. | ||
| That sounds like a good one. | ||
| The premise itself was funny enough. | ||
| Sounds good. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Camo Comedy, C-A-M-M-O, Comedy Podcast. | ||
| Check that one out. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Eric S. says, I think President Trump is playing it safe by complying with the legal system, which can attract voters who value his adherence to the law. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let's just pause real quick. | ||
| This is not in the legal system. | ||
| This is called extra legal and it's not law. | ||
| If there was a statute on the books that said, if you do this thing, you've committed a crime, that would be Trump adhering to the law. | ||
| No, it's not actually illegal anywhere to ask someone not to publish a story about you or defame you. | ||
| In fact, it's typically, it's very common among every political campaign ever to try and control information. | ||
| It's called public relations and marketing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| They're arguing what Trump did was illegal because he was influencing the election by doing marketing for his campaign. | ||
| And by the way, like, after years of looking into every aspect of this person's life with one of the most sophisticated intelligence apparatuses that has ever existed in all of human history, this is the kind of stuff they're trying to pick at him for. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Yep. | ||
| Gettin' It says, you guys are beautiful, just like Lizzo. | ||
| That is so sweet. | ||
| There's a funny bit from Casey Shornema and she's like, guys don't know when to end a sentence. | ||
| They'll say things like, you are the most beautiful woman in the world to me. | ||
| I had a friend, I think she married him in the end, but her boyfriend said, you know, I just love your eyes. | ||
| I love your beady little eyes. | ||
| Your beady little eyes. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I didn't really think about what it meant. | ||
| You have beady little eyes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's hilarious. | |
| That's great. | ||
| That was, Phil tweeted that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Saying, you are beautiful just like Lizzo would be interpreted as an insult. | ||
| And I was like, it's how you turn a compliment into one of the most offensive insults is, you're so beautiful, just like Lizzo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's the... Let's see how body positive they are. | |
| All hell will break loose. | ||
| What was the bit people were doing for a while where they would just comment on liberal women's pictures and go, you are such a beautiful trans woman. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's like, if the woman gets mad, that's transphobic. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You got it both ways, so to speak. | ||
| Durain Gaming says, Tim, you're wrong about the hacking terms. | ||
| It's not white, black, and gray. | ||
| It's blue, red, and purple. | ||
| Those terms are racist now. | ||
| I kid, but that was actual training I had to take as a DoD contractor. | ||
| I don't know if they did, but they tried getting rid of master and slave from coding. | ||
| So those were just terms. | ||
| Real estate agents got rid of master bedroom. | ||
| They say owner's room or like main suite. | ||
| Oh, that's better. | ||
| Owner's room. | ||
| It's like slavery. | ||
| It's rough. | ||
| I think we should just designate rooms in the new studio just like as offensively as possible. | ||
| That'd be a good idea. | ||
| Like we'll call the green room the maid's quarters or, you know, we'll call the downstairs the master's control room. | ||
| Just like, yeah, needlessly gender every single word. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or every single position. | ||
| The no-women-allowed studio room. | ||
| Like, podcast man instead of podcaster. | ||
| I think we should. | ||
| He-man, woman-haters club. | ||
| Yeah, I love that. | ||
| I find this to be one of my favorite things when you're writing, and like, there is a technical use of the term representative to talk about someone from Congress, but I find myself intentionally being like, Congress man, Congress woman. | ||
| Like, they also will try and Make it like performer instead of actor or actress. | ||
| All the gendered language all the time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Save it. | |
| My favorite PC term is I'm Bugs Person. | ||
| What? | ||
| I'm Bugs Person? | ||
| Oh no! | ||
| I was reading an article and they said I'm Bugs Person and I was like, oh that is awesome. | ||
| There was one I heard years ago, Christina Hoff Summers talked about this, but she said that literally we're refusing to say seminar and we're saying aviolar. | ||
| What? | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I love, uh, there was like the post about, um, some feminists was like, his story, this is his story. | ||
| And then they went off on this tirade and then some, a linguist actually corrected them and was like, you're way off. | ||
| This is completely wrong. | ||
| a men and a women. Remember that? Oh yeah. Right before COVID started. There was uh people saying | ||
| that uh feminists would say that wo means belong to. So wo men was literally saying that women | ||
| belong to men. And then someone had to break down that actually they come from two different | ||
| language roots. I love I love how like all the the the attempts at you know making the gender | ||
| equalization or whatever that the fountains and I love how they're all really stupid. | ||
| Yeah, they're dumb. | ||
| Yeah, they're dumb. | ||
| They're really, really dumb. | ||
