| In a letter that just came out, Mark Zuckerberg admits that the Harris-Biden administration | ||
| pressured Facebook to censor Americans, censor the Russian, well, what they called Russian | ||
| disinformation, the Hunter Biden laptop story, and that, well, this interfered in a U.S. | ||
| election. | ||
| He's saying that he's going to curb election donations, but this is them basically saying the U.S. | ||
| government came in and said, we want this information censored, even if it was just jokes. | ||
| Now Zuckerberg goes on to say that, well, we are the ones who ultimately made the decision to do this. | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
| I think he's just trying to avoid as much collateral damage as possible, and the reality is, the federal government came to him, and they told him what to do and what to censor. | ||
| Now, some points of clarification. | ||
| They were already censoring before Harris-Biden came in and pressured them for more censorship. | ||
| This is the election interference. | ||
| Once Biden gets elected, then they start putting more pressure on Facebook. | ||
| So they were more than happy to abide by the FBI and censor Americans, but some things changed. | ||
| Maybe it's that Mark Zuckerberg's scared Donald Trump is going to win. | ||
| He started working out, grew out his hair. | ||
| Maybe he's like, uh oh, if Trump wins, we're in trouble for the things we did. | ||
| So we're gonna talk about that, plus we're gonna talk about the CEO of Telegram being arrested in France, it's huge news, and a Democrat saying Elon Musk better be, he must be worried. | ||
| We'll talk about that, plus Donald Trump this morning laid a wreath attending a ceremony for fallen soldiers. | ||
| An event that was snubbed by Harris and Joe Biden, the sitting president. | ||
| They didn't attend. | ||
| And I can't say that I'm surprised. | ||

| Good to be here, Tim. | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| Well, I'm Joe McBride. | ||
| I'm a lawyer from Brooklyn, New York. | ||
| I do all kinds of things, but I make my bread and butter as an attorney. | ||
| I represent a bunch of people in Trump world. | ||
| I'm known for my representation of January 6th defendants, most notably Richard Barnett, who had his feet up on Pelosi's desk. | ||
| Most infamously, probably Ryan Nichols. | ||
| And I also represent Andrew and Tristan Tate. | ||
| That'll be interesting. | ||
| I really want to talk to you about that story because they recently started seizing more of their property. | ||
| They were rearrested. | ||
| And you've been saying it's all bunk and you've got proof. | ||
| All this stuff is BS. | ||
| So definitely will be interesting to talk about the Tristan and Andrew Tate story. | ||
| But should be fun. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
| We got Libby hanging out. | ||
| I'm hanging out. | ||
| I'm Libby Emmons with the Postmillennial. | ||
| Glad to be here. | ||
| I'm glad you're here, too. | ||
| I'm Hannah-Claire Brimel. | ||
| I'm a writer for scnr.com. | ||
| That's Scanner News. | ||
| Thanks for tuning in tonight. | ||
| Let's get started. | ||
| Here's the big story from the Washington Examiner. | ||
| Mark Zuckerberg admits censorship and vows to curb election donations. | ||
| Zuckerberg said in his most explicit criticism yet of the Biden White House that senior officials repeatedly pressured the tech billionaire's company to suppress content related to COVID-19 on its Facebook platform in 2021. | ||
| Senior officials from the Biden administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree. | ||
| He said he believed the pressure from the White House, which came too late through a sweeping lawsuit brought by two Republican attorneys general in 2022, was wrong. | ||
| That he regretted not being more vocal about it, and that he made misinformed content moderation choices, and that his company would push back on any future pressure. | ||
| Now, I find this really funny that he's saying that because he also mentions, | ||
| The FBI warned us in a separate situation about a potential Russian disinformation operation | ||
| about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 elections. | ||
| That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on the corruption allegations | ||
| involving then Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's family, | ||
| we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply. | ||
| It's since been made clear the reporting was not Russian disinformation, | ||
| and in retrospect, we shouldn't have demoted the story. | ||
| But also the fact-checkers claimed it was. | ||
| They said, what was it, 50 intel agents said it had all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation story. | ||
| Now, what I want to throw out there, because we've got this letter here from the House Judiciary, he says they're going to be more forceful and push back in the future. | ||
| Yeah, I think it's clear what Mark Zuckerberg fears. | ||
| The only reason he's calling this out now is because he thinks Donald Trump is going to win, and he's got to back off a little bit. | ||
| But he's also kind of saying it, right? | ||
| If Trump wins in the future, don't worry, Mark Zuckerberg will be sure to push back. | ||
| But this is actually pretty big news to hear that Mark Zuckerberg is basically saying the Biden, the Harris-Biden administration repeatedly pressured them to censor content, including humor and satire, And they ultimately did. | ||
| And that's what the House Judiciary GOP says, that Biden-Harris pressured Facebook to censor Americans, they did censor Americans, and they throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story. | ||
| It's a big win for free speech, I suppose, so long as we can enforce stopping Facebook from doing these things in the future. | ||
| But now, I suppose, with whatever Zuckerberg's worried about, we still have Axe Rumble called this out. | ||
| This is fantastic news. | ||
| And so we're hoping that with these huge shifts in social media policy, at least the fear from people like Zuckerberg, maybe we won't have as much interference in this upcoming election? | ||
| But then you have to trust Mark Zuckerberg, which I have such a hard time doing. | ||
| I mean, it's good that the letter is out there on its face because the admission is important. | ||
| But I think that Mark Zuckerberg is kind of acting opportunistically, right? | ||
| If he thinks Trump is going to win or if he thinks maybe mainstream culture is leaning more right wing and he wants to regain his footing. | ||
| I mean, you know, he's not a popular guy on the Internet. | ||
| He's often the butt of a lot of jokes. | ||
| And so trying to posture as like this free speech advocate after, you know, probably being involved in a lot more than he's admitting to, it's just so hard for me to be like, good job, Mark, we'll take one for the team. | ||
| I can see what you're saying with that, with Zuckerberg and not really trusting him, but he has had some changes over the summer. | ||
| We were just talking before the show, he started working out, you know, like that's sort of a thing. | ||
| He's like all into his health now, which is oddly a conservative perspective these days. But also after | ||
| the assassination attempt against Donald Trump on July 13th, he apparently called Trump, said | ||
| he would not be supporting Democrats this year. He already said that he would not be using the | ||
| platform the same way for political purposes. And he called Trump a badass after that attempt. | ||
| He was very vocal about that, you know, saying that when Trump raised his fist like that, | ||
| he was a badass, which I mean, he obviously was. You don't think Zuckerberg did not sound | ||
| sincere. You don't think so. | ||
| I thought it did sound sincere. | ||
| When he was like, uh, when Trump raised his fist, that was badass. | ||
| I was just like, uh, this guy's scared. | ||
| It feels like Mike Tyson famously said, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth. | ||
| It feels like he's anticipating that punch. | ||
| This does feel opportunistic to me. | ||
| I think the proof is in the pudding once the mainstream media and everybody else in the world starts coming for Zuckerberg, like they're coming for Elon Musk. | ||
| Then we'll know that he's made meaningful change. | ||
| Until then, it's just all talk. | ||
| And by the way, look, if you look at my Instagram account right now, it'll say this guy shares misinformation on a regular basis, which is an absolute load of crap. | ||
| I share truth on a regular basis. | ||
| So stop the censorship. | ||
| And once the enemies of free speech, once they start coming for you, then we'll know that you're one of us. | ||
| Well, they've been investigating. | ||
| The House Judiciary has been investigating Zuckerberg and Facebook for over a year. | ||
| They launched their investigation in April 2023. | ||
| So he knows it's coming. | ||
| He knows it's coming. | ||
| And Jordan has been releasing Facebook files this whole time showing the censorship and suppression. | ||
| And so he calls Trump and says, no, no, I'm backing off. | ||
| You know, he's basically saying, truce, truce, man. | ||
| Even in his letter, he talks about the Zuckerbucks, right? | ||
| He was saying, you know, through the Chan Zuckerberg Family Foundation, I think is what it's called. | ||
| He's saying, I donated this money because of COVID and to ensure all of these things. | ||
| And even then, no one believed this, right? | ||
| Like, no one thought Mark Zuckerberg was just altruistically being like, I just want democracy to be okay. | ||
| Everyone knew he had a political bent and it's just, you know, it's very hard for me and maybe I wish I could be more open-minded. | ||
| Libby's obviously much more forgiving than I am. | ||
| I'm super forgiving. | ||
| It's almost a flaw. | ||
| Well, it's the thing, like the summer before an election year, you're sort of like, oh, I too have questions about the government, even though I have worked with them for a long, long, long time. | ||
| I mean, I think probably Mark Zuckerberg could tell you that he worked with the Obama administration. | ||
| That's just my opinion. | ||
| It's now that the Biden-Harris administration is so deeply unpopular that I think he is starting to say like, no, no, I'm one of you guys. | ||
| Please come back and use Facebook again. | ||
| What does it mean that you're going to tone down donations anyway? | ||
| It's a very relative statement. | ||
| If you're going to quit getting involved, quit getting involved. | ||
| Say, look, I'm done with this black and white issue. | ||
| I'm not accepting donations anymore. | ||
| No more Zuckerbucks. | ||
| I'm not going to interfere with the election. | ||
| Or it's, look, I'm still doing what I did last time, just not as much. | ||
| If you're toning it down, but it's $100 billion that's coming in, and I'm toning it down, I'm only taking $30 billion, what does it really mean? | ||
| You're still messing around. | ||
| So, stop, step aside, become an advocate for actual free speech, or you're just talking about it. | ||
| I don't buy this for a second. | ||
| I think the dude's scared. | ||
| I think he sees Donald Trump winning. | ||
| He knows that when Trump does win, they're going to get a DOJ investigation for election interference, manipulation, collusion, and that... I don't think we go as far as to see, you know, a lot of people are thinking Trump's going to arrest Hillary or, nah, it didn't happen the first time, it's not going to happen again. | ||
| I don't think Zuckerberg is going to get arrested. | ||
| I don't think Trump weaponizes the DOJ or anything like that. | ||
| I think it's investigating it's a fine. | ||
| And it's going to be bad for the shareholders. | ||
| And he's going like, ah, crap, Trump wasn't supposed to win. | ||
| He wasn't supposed to come back. | ||
| Now they can't get a handle on things. | ||
| He's like, we shouldn't have done this. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| He says, I'll read that portion where he talks about Zuckerberg. | ||
| He says, I want to address the contributions I made in the last presidential cycle to support electoral infrastructure. | ||
| The idea here was to make sure local election jurisdictions across the country had the resources they needed to help people vote safely during a global pandemic. | ||
| I made these contributions through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. | ||
| They're designed to be nonpartisan, spread across urban, rural, and suburban communities. | ||
| Still, despite the analyses I've been showing otherwise, I know that some people believe this work benefited one party over another, where there have been reports that on Election Day, for instance, all Democrats received a notification saying, make sure to go vote! | ||
| And only somewhere around 68 or 70% of Republicans got the same notification. | ||
| That is 100% intentional manipulation. | ||
| You don't accidentally not send certain voters a reminder to go vote. | ||
| And that's, this is, it's actually absolutely insane if you think about it. | ||
| You have 200 people, let's say, hypothetical group, 100 Democrats, 100 Republicans, and Facebook says on the top of every Democrat put go vote and don't send anything to the Republicans. | ||
| Now a lot of Republicans will remember to go vote, but those that don't will forget. | ||
| They'll go, oh, that was election day? | ||
| Right. | ||
| And all those Democrats are going to see it and they're going to be like, yeah, I'll go vote. | ||
| That's manipulation. | ||
| That's extreme. | ||
| Especially in a game of inches. | ||
| You know, everything is inches, right? | ||
| What was Georgia? | ||
| 12,500 votes? | ||
| Yeah, something like that. | ||
| It's narrow. | ||
| It makes a big difference. | ||
| I want there to be a reduction arc for a lot of people. | ||
| I think there are sort of default Democrat institutions where maybe people don't think critically about what they have agreed to because they're, you know, they always think of themselves this one way and so they just vote with the party. | ||
| I just find Mark Zuckerberg in particular to be a not very trustworthy person because similar to what you're talking about, You know, I think we all know people who have experienced specific targeted political censorship on a meta-related platform, and they just get no answer from Facebook. | ||
| It's great that the House committee got some answers out of him, but there's so much to Facebook, especially because, at least for a long time, it really was the dominant social media platform. | ||
| So many things became integrated with Facebook that just the amount of data that they collect and the way that they're able to use that against their users is kind of intimidating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And there's a big difference in between when somebody volunteers an apology. | ||
| Listen guys, I should not have done this. | ||
| I got this wrong. | ||
| And oh, by the way, I'm being investigated. | ||
| Probably shouldn't have did that. | ||
| I promise to change. | ||
| I mean, give me a break. | ||
| If it doesn't come from your inner soul, if it doesn't come from your own experience in life, look, I got it wrong. | ||
| There's some contrition there that I'm just, I'm just not buying it. | ||
| I'm not seeing it here. | ||
| Yeah, I don't buy it for a second. | ||
| He's just scared. | ||
| He's scared that Donald Trump's going to get in and it's going to be bad news for Facebook. | ||
| But I'll take it. | ||
| You know, look, you don't need to forgive the guy, but you can say, OK, all right, that's it. | ||
| We're going to keep an eye on you and don't make any, you know, don't play these stupid, dirty games again. | ||
| But it's good that Mark Zuckerberg is scared. | ||
| It means that we're going to have a level playing field this time around. | ||
| At least we can hope. | ||
| More than last time, anyway, for sure. | ||
| Sure, but I'm also worried this is just the sheepskin, right? | ||
| This is him saying, oh yeah, you guys, don't worry. | ||
| And then he's turning around to the guys and be like, double our efforts. | ||
| Trump cannot win. | ||
| Because if he really is scared, why wouldn't he stop? | ||
| He's going to keep going and try to make sure Trump doesn't win. | ||
| That's why I go back to sometimes just more conservative positions socially are trendy. | ||
| And he's aware of that enough to want to seem like someone that he doesn't want to lose users to. | ||
| I mean, I think there are a lot of people who are moderate to conservative voters in America who don't want to use Facebook. | ||
| Facebook is an actively dying social media platform. | ||
| He needs middle America to trust him enough. | ||
| And maybe this is the only way he can sort of turn turn the tide on that. | ||
| I think generally, you know, probably it's more selfish. | ||
| There's probably some sort of personal risk that he's facing that he's willing to sort of change his positioning on. | ||
| But it would be fascinating if, you know, celebrities and sort of tech tycoons or whatever decided that they were just actively going to become non-political going forward. | ||
| Because that's what he's saying in the letter. | ||
| Like, I want to be neutral. | ||
| I don't want to do anything. | ||
| He's saying that about the platform, not necessarily himself. | ||
| He said that he doesn't want to donate, and that's like his personal. | ||
| It's like the Chan Zuckerberg initiative is private. | ||
| There may be some good news buried in this too, depending on what is true, what you want to believe. | ||
| Zuckerberg started working out. | ||
| He got a little bit of tan. | ||
| Wasn't he growing some facial hair? | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| Growing his hair out a little bit. | ||
| Growing his hair out a little bit, and people were like, whoa, what's going on with Zuckerberg? | ||
| He used to look like a pale-skinned robot. | ||
| Now he's starting to look like a normal dude. | ||
| I wonder if Two things, potentially. | ||
| The internet got to him. | ||
| He did not like being made fun of and compared to robots all the time, so he decided he's got to get a tan and start working out. | ||
| Or it could be that boots-on-the-ground sentiment is so overwhelmingly pro-Trump that on the internet they can lie about it. | ||
| But maybe Mark Zuckerberg is just going out to these neighborhoods and they're all pro-Trump. | ||
| And also, I mean, he hangs out with tech guys. | ||
| There's a lot of Silicon Valley guys who are pro-Trump. | ||
| And he's probably sitting in their midst and they're like, oh, shut up, Mark. | ||
| You helped Biden win. | ||
| And he's like, I didn't do it. | ||
| I swear. | ||
| Stop making fun of me. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, yeah, dude, look at this mess we're in. | ||
| Look at the economy. | ||
| Look at the stagnation. | ||
| You were the one who wanted, no, no, I swear, I swear I won't. | ||
| He could just be socially pressured and embarrassed. | ||
| Well, he could also finally be like manning up a little bit and realize he doesn't like getting pushed around by the man. | ||
| And it didn't do him any favors, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, it didn't help. | |
| Because ultimately he became a villain to his customers. | ||
| Well, and to his employees, you know? | ||
| And you pointed out before the show, I mean, he does have children, although I think his children are like middle school age now. | ||
| Maybe it is just like slowly maturing and evolving to see the thing that you thought you were doing that was good is actually not good. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, he started Facebook in college, so his politics must have changed over the years since then. | ||
| I think there's a lot to say for the jiu-jitsu crowd that he's rolling around with right now. | ||
| You know, that is, hey, you put in work and you get results, right? | ||
| There's nothing really paternalistic about that. | ||
| You really, you get what you put into that situation. | ||
| And that crowd is very, at best, politically agnostic. | ||
| Otherwise, it's to the right. | ||
| And I think a lot of his colleagues that he's rolling with, a lot of his colleagues that he's training with, There's a lot of time when you're rolling on the mat or you're sitting to the side and you're taking a breather and you're just talking about life and you're talking about whatever and if he's looking to these guys like I want to be a black belt in jujitsu, I want to beat this guy, I want to make this guy tap out and they all see the world differently than me then maybe to some extent that's having an influence on him as well. | ||
| What if it's his wife? | ||
| What if Priscilla's super red pulled and no one realized it? | ||
| She like became a mom and she's like, you know what? | ||
| I'm rethinking everything. | ||
| Well, it was their foundation that was doing a lot of that election integrity stuff. | ||
| You know, the fake election. | ||
| And she's like, it was used for evil. | ||
| It was supposed to support infrastructure. | ||
| Let's jump to this story from Fox News. | ||
| Vindman says Musk should be nervous after Telegram CEO was arrested. | ||
| Free speech absolutists weirdos. | ||
| Is this Alex Vindman? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Telegram CEO Pavel Durov is being accused of not taking sufficient action to limit criminal activity on the messaging app. | ||
| And Vindman says that Elon Musk should be worried. | ||
| He says that there's implications for other social media. | ||
| There's a growing intolerance for platforming disinfo and malign influence and a growing appetite for accountability. | ||
| He's completely correct about that. | ||
| There's an intolerance for people like him, in my opinion, platforming disinfo and malign influence. | ||
| Ukraine is an enemy of this country. | ||
| I despise that country. | ||
| I used to like it. | ||
| I thought it was beautiful. | ||
| I have friends in there. | ||
| Now I think it's a hive of scum and villainy by which we should have no involvement. | ||
| They are now accused, there's a warrant issued for the arrest of A Ukrainian for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Ukraine, using Western weapons, intelligence, and resources, has now invaded Russia. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| needs to cut them off cold turkey and say, enough, because they are enemies and they are going to lead this country and this planet to destruction. | ||
| That's Vindman, who overwhelmingly blindly supports that country, who helped lead the fake impeachment of Donald Trump when Donald Trump was trying to investigate the illicit business dealing to the Bidens. | ||
| So this guy should be worried about his malign influence. | ||
| He leaked the phone call between Trump and Zelensky, where Zelensky was like, hey, why was that prosecutor fired? | ||
| Was that because of Biden's influence? | ||
| And Vindman leaked that and that led to the that led to the first impeachment, even though what Trump was saying is, was Biden withholding money from you guys until you fired the prosecutor? | ||
| That's illegal. | ||
| We've got to look into that. | ||
| Wow, that's crazy. | ||
| We should check that out. | ||
| And then the Deep State and Democrats colluded and conspired to impeach Donald Trump over a crime they committed. | ||
| It's a very smart maneuver. | ||
| It's the Iron Law of Willk Projection. | ||
| The intelligence agencies and the Democrats knew the only way to get... It's brilliant. | ||
| You have to... I'll put it this way. | ||
| I'll tell you a story. | ||
| I'll give you a simple analogy. | ||
| If two people get into a fight, it's usually whoever calls the police who wins. | ||
| There are numerous circumstances that happen all the time where the aggressor who starts the fight calls the police and the victim gets arrested. | ||
| Police don't care. | ||
| They show up and they say, you called the police? | ||
| Yeah, this guy's freaking out, he's attacking people. | ||
| Doesn't matter if you're the victim. | ||
| So what they did, what Democrats did, was they're like, crap, Trump's onto us. | ||
| We need to launch a criminal charge against him for doing this exact thing. | ||
| That way it can't be used against us. | ||
| We'll get to the police first. | ||
| It's a sick, an insane form of gaslighting where they weaponize the justice system and the partnership between the government. | ||
| In a mainstream media complex to achieve a nefarious end. | ||
| Look, I want to blow your mind for a minute. | ||
| Imagine this. | ||
| Think about this threat that he's making and the people who he represents, Vindman, who I can't stand the sight of him. | ||
| But Trump is going to get sentenced in September 18th, 1815, something like that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he's threatening here. | ||
| The CEO of Telegram is now in jail. | ||
| He's threatening Musk. | ||
| Could you imagine on October 1st if Trump and Musk were both in jail? | ||
| Yeah, they're not going to arrest Musk. | ||
| He'd have to go to Europe. | ||
| Imagine he goes to Europe and he goes through France and they do the same thing to him just for the sake of argument. | ||
| I don't want it to happen. | ||
| I don't think it's going to happen. | ||
| But he's talking like it's going to happen. | ||
| It's not going to happen to Musk because of SpaceX and because of Tesla. | ||
| The economic damage would be tremendous. | ||
| They need SpaceX to go get those astronauts back. | ||
| They've got two U.S. | ||
| astronauts just stuck in space. | ||
| Can you imagine being told that you're going to be up there for eight days and then they're like, actually we'll come get you in a couple months. | ||
| Was it supposed to be eight days? | ||
| Yeah, it was supposed to be eight days. | ||
| What's funny is there was this whole joke about how NASA engineers tried to send up like a thousand tampons with a woman who was going to be in space for like four days. | ||
| I kind of hope those are still up there for that lady. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Someone wrote a song about it and it's like, these are our nation's greatest minds. | |
| But that's why it's fake news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| So there's this old trope where it's this meme that goes around. | ||
| It says, NASA spent $4 million developing a pen that could write in zero gravity. | ||
| Russians used a pencil. | ||
| It's so funny, right? | ||
| Except you can't use pencils in outer space, because the particulates from the pencil will break apart, get into the systems, get in the filters, you can't do it. | ||
| And so the same thing happened with the tampon story, where they're like, did you know that NASA was trying to set up a hundred tampons for a woman who's only gonna be there for a week? | ||
| Aren't they stupid? | ||
| No, NASA probably said, how much money does it cost to send a payload up to outer space? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Fifty million dollars. | ||
| Okay, well let's quadruple up on everything we can to do one trip. | ||
| And so, now they've got 100 plus tampons up there. | ||
| I hope it's still up there. | ||
| Not for one person. | ||
| Yeah, certainly. | ||
| Certainly. | ||
| If it's going to be months, you might need a handful. | ||
| But the point is, people just generally don't understand these things, and they assume it was stupid to do something, which actually is—if you understand the full context of, when's the next $50 million payload being launched to the ISS? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Send as much as you can now, because you don't have a lot of opportunities to do it. | ||
| People just don't get this stuff. | ||
| But anyway, outside of that, why was this—what's going on with Pavel Durov? | ||
| Why was he arrested, you know? | ||
| He's arrested because he refused to kowtow, he refused to bow, he refused to kiss the ring. | ||
| They wanted him to police and monitor Telegram. | ||
| I know to some extent the CIA or the FBI and or wanted to be able to backdoor into Telegram in order to spy on people. | ||
| I would imagine that other members of the Five Eyes, you know, Canada, United States and Australia wanted to do that with their spy agencies as well. | ||
| My understanding is that he universally told them all that they can go screw themselves and because of that he is now in jail. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| He's accused of money laundering, of aiding and abetting, and like child sexual sexual exploitation content. | ||
| I mean, it is kind of when you when you read the complaint, it really does feel like they're throwing a very broad book at him. | ||
| I was surprised, though. | ||
| I mean, I know he is a French citizen that he flew to France at all. | ||
| I mean, it seems like I'm sure on some level he was aware that, you know, France opened this investigation on July 8th. | ||
| And so it seems like it's sort of a risky move, but maybe he felt like, you know, as a citizen, he was going to be afforded some kind of rights and protection. | ||
| It's insane because regarding the rights and protections that you're talking about, the world that we live in, that we've all enjoyed, where you have a constitution, that you have due process. | ||
| There's supposed to be a process that you're due, that is afforded you, that you go through before your rights, your liberties, your stuff gets taken away from you, especially your freedom. | ||
| We live in an era where the process is the punishment, right? | ||
| They know that eventually you're going to win these cases. | ||
| So they front load the punishment. | ||
| They take you, they cancel you, they disenfranchise you, they debank you, they put you in jail in order to get you to cop to a plea that you should never have to plead to just to have your freedom back before you ever have your day in court. | ||
| So that's what this is about. | ||
| They're doing it to him, they're doing it to Andrew and Tristan, they're doing it to Trump, and they're going to do it to anybody else who stands against them who has the power to launch a counter-offensive, a counter-narrative in the world that we live in. | ||
| Well, let me ask you a question, though. | ||
| Encrypted messaging apps are used by child traffickers and predators. | ||
| So there is still a challenge of to what degree is there a responsibility of the people running? | ||
| I'll say this before I get into the deep details. | ||
| I don't think you should be arrested. | ||
| But what should we as a society do when there is a platform that allows child abuse and exploitation? | ||
| I think you have to have some type of meaningful internal regulatory process under which you self-police, and then if you're given a valid subpoena from a government agency, you have to comply with it, right? | ||
| You don't just give the FBI or the CIA the ability to have warrantless intrusion into people's private thoughts. | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| So I'm sure that's what he wanted to do. | ||
| They wanted to backdoor him. | ||
| He said no, and he said, okay, we'll put you in jail. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| It's funny, I don't know if you guys read Edward Snowden's response to this, but he had said basically, I can't believe President Macron is taking hostages in order to get access to private communication. | ||
| I mean, this is terrible. | ||
| And it's a breach of basic human rights and free speech. | ||
| I think if you see who is responding to this really strongly, you get the same kinds of people who are saying like, Hey, the government is not always acting in your best interest and you have to treat it with the same kind of skepticism you would with anything for your own safety and protection. | ||
| Indeed, view the government the way our founding fathers did, with a fair degree of skepticism. | ||
| It's a necessary evil, and that's it. | ||
| And a lot of distrust, honestly. | ||
| Yeah, well this is the French government, though. | ||
| Even more distrust. | ||
| There's a funny thing, a post where apparently, I don't know if this is true, I just saw someone post about it, the woman that he was with was posting everywhere they went, so the intelligence agencies knew exactly where he was all the time. | ||
| Was she some sort of asset? | ||
| Some influencer. | ||
| And she's posting everywhere they were going, in the plane, in the jet, and then landing, and then they were like, we got him. | ||
| But let's be real. | ||
| They know his tail number. | ||
| They know where he's landing. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| I think it's more than just her. | ||
| What I'm curious now is, like, you know, is Saudi Arabia going to intercede on his behalf? | ||
| He's a citizen of the United Arab Emirates, I believe. | ||
| His company is not based in Russia or France. | ||
| It's based in the Middle East. | ||
| So, you know, who steps in and says, you know, we are here to advocate for you? | ||
| Or does this fall on him as a private citizen to have a good legal team? | ||
| It could be Putin. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I wouldn't put it past him. | ||
| The Kremlin released a statement saying basically these circumstances are very unclear and we're looking for more information. | ||
| But, you know, maybe you can speak to this, but Russia's relationship with Telegram is fascinating to me because, of course, it was founded because of pro-democracy riots in Russia. | ||
| And then they were like, no, you have to give us information or get out. | ||
| And so he left in 2014. | ||
| And they banned it in 2018, and then 2021, they're like, just kidding, Telegram's back. | ||
| I mean, they really, it is a very fluid and ever-changing dynamic between them. | ||
| So in some ways, I feel like Russia wouldn't want to speak up on Trump's side, but also maybe they don't want to be terrorized by a NATO ally. | ||
| Yeah, no, that's a good way to describe the situation on the ground there. | ||
| I do think that Putin's recent comments about, like, if you're looking to have a safe haven from being canceled, so on and so forth, come to us and we'll protect you. | ||
| This kind of falls right in line with that. | ||
| So if I were him and if I wanted to be just opportunistic, I would take advantage of the situation and come in as the hero here. | ||
| Somebody's going to have to do it. | ||
| And Trump's not in a position to do anything right now. | ||
| It's not going to be Biden. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He's busy sundowning right now. | ||
| So he's on the beach. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, let's let's talk about this. | ||
| Here's a story from The Post Millennial. | ||
| Trump honors fallen soldiers from Afghanistan at Arlington Memorial Service. | ||
| Kamala and Biden are no shows this morning when I was watching my morning news. | ||
| I saw Donald Trump at this ceremony at Arlington, and then I immediately was like, that's kind of strange. | ||
| He's not the president. | ||
| He's just running for president. | ||
| Where's Kamala? | ||
| Where's Biden, the current administration? | ||
| They were not there. | ||
| It is strange that the president and vice president are not at the Arlington Memorial Service for Fallen Soldiers, and Donald Trump is. | ||
| I think Trump went there because he has a sense of duty. | ||
| He is asking to be leader of this country again, and he sees a responsibility in honoring those who sacrificed their lives for this country. | ||
| And I also cannot say I'm surprised that Biden is vacationing. | ||
| He's in a Delaware beach somewhere. | ||
| That's right, probably Rehoboth or something, right? | ||
| Yeah, laying out there in the sun. | ||
| Kamala M.I.A. | ||
| Kamala's in DC. | ||
| She was taking some briefings today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh wow. | |
| They were not open to the public. | ||
| So she was just down the street and she could not spend even an hour. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| On the third anniversary of their botched withdrawal. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| 13 service members were killed in that bombing. | ||
| And she was the last one in the room, she said. | ||
| That's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| Good for her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good for her. | |
| They would have had to have contended with JFK's grave there as well. | ||
| Look, Trump is winning right now. | ||
| He's making all the right moves. | ||
| He's continuing to do the right thing all the time. | ||
| I had a conversation with somebody earlier who said that it is possible that maybe they | ||
| weren't even invited. | ||
| Maybe the families had such disdain for them, they just didn't even send an invitation. | ||
| Well, that's interesting. | ||
| Be that as it may, I think they still had a duty to show up. | ||
| You send somebody, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| One of the two of you have to show up because it sends a clear message to the military people and family service members of this country that they just do not care. | ||
| Issue a statement. | ||
| They both did release statements, but they couldn't even make, like, a video recording. | ||
| Like, there's a certain level of, like, cold and distance from this whole situation that's really about them, right? | ||
| They don't want to talk about what happened in Afghanistan. | ||
| And so instead, they'd rather disrespect the families of the people who lost their children and relatives. | ||
| Well, it's their fault. | ||
| And were they to show up, were they to make a video or address this in any meaningful way, it's just going to highlight and be bad for their polls. | ||
| It certainly would be. | ||
| We have a reporter who wrote this story, Tommy Stevenson, who's been in touch with the Gold Star families and has spoken to them at length. | ||
| And many of them are just truly disgusted with the way the Biden and Harris administration has handled not only the withdrawal, but the reaction to it afterwards and handled the memory and legacy of their children. | ||
| It's just so insane. | ||
| They were at the RNC, they were speaking from the stage, and I was there on the floor that night, and I think I've told you guys about it before, it was incredibly moving. | ||
| The entire room was silent, just honoring these families and the loss that they suffered because their children literally went and died for this country. | ||
| It's a very Kamala Harris thing to do. | ||
| When she was Attorney General or District Attorney, whatever it was in California, she was censured by the bar because there were innocent men languishing in prison. | ||
| And these cases were brought to her attention on several occasions and she did nothing about it. | ||
| Because her office would have needed to issue a correction. | ||
| So instead of saying, hey, we got it wrong and losing a little bit of face and letting these guys out, she didn't do it. | ||
| She got in trouble for it. | ||
| She got jammed up for it later on. | ||
| And to your point, there would have had to been some level of contrition here, some level of, hey, we were involved in this. | ||
| It didn't pan out the right way. | ||
| But despite that reality, we're here because we love you. | ||
| We love these families. | ||
| We care about what happened. | ||
| But that never happens, right? | ||
| This is who they are. | ||
| And look, she's, in terms of controlled opposition, if you thought Biden was controlled, I mean, forget about it. | ||
| Like this one over here, if she gets in, I have no idea who's going to be in charge. | ||
| She's not going to be calling the shots. | ||
| That's for sure. | ||
| And it's crazy that they weren't even, you know, it's not like she's like, oh, I'm in Colorado on the campaign trail, but my hearts are with the families. | ||
| He came back from California basically in time for this service and still couldn't drive out from Delaware. | ||
| You know, it's really just not that far. | ||
| They are both in the D.C. | ||
| area. | ||
| There's sort of no excuse for not being able to say, This is worth acknowledging. | ||
| Yeah, she's not a genuine person and he's not there, you know. | ||
| And one thing, it's like you said, I think you just said a second ago, she's not going to be pulling the strings when she's in the White House. | ||
| If she ends up in the White House, God forbid. | ||
| And the thing about that, too, is that this is part of the Democratic Party's plan to delegitimize the presidency entirely. | ||
| Because they keep saying that what qualifies her are these immutable characteristics that don't have anything to do with qualifications or merit or skill or talent. | ||
| They're saying she should be in the White House because she's a black woman, and there is joy and euphoria to that. | ||
| Well, what does that mean other than saying the presidency is simply a figurehead, so let's just have a pretty one? | ||
| Do you know what I mean? | ||
| The presidency clearly doesn't matter to these people because they put all of their faith in the deep state to implement agendas and guidelines and interpret laws that are passed by Congress. | ||
| They don't care who the president is. | ||
| They just care what she looks like and what she's representing for their mission and ethos, their vague plans and policies that aren't even there. | ||
| Yeah, no, I totally agree with you. | ||
| I think it's so fascinating. | ||
| I mean, again, she's running without policies. | ||
| And I was listening to this analysis of her speech at the DNC, and this New York Times reporter had said that they had heard from campaign officials that they were being told, like volunteers were being told, don't focus on policy, focus on story. | ||
| And if you remember, so much of her speech was like, well, this is my childhood and my upbringing. | ||
| Narrative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And that's still what the website is. | ||
| It's just bio. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And there was this, I was listening to this one podcast talking about it and one of the women was saying, you know, well, when I was there, I was like, you know, we're in the room and it's exciting. | ||
| But as I come down from this sort of like exciting, you know, balloons and flag waving or whatever else, I realized that the things I was thinking, oh, that's kind of a policy are really nothing. | ||
| I mean, she was really given these people who are just lining up behind her blindly nothing. | ||
| And I think enough will wake up from that and look at these moments, look at her not attending, uh, you know, going to the DNC and saying basically we're reclaiming | ||
| patriotism and they're making this big like USA Chan or whatever and then she can't show up at | ||
| you know what I actually would consider a very patriotic ceremony. An actual one. Yeah. Other than | ||
| the one where they're waving little paper flags on the floor while they're burning flags | ||
|
unidentified
|
outside in the street. Yeah. Only when it convenes is her for anything. That is funny isn't it? | |
| There's this picture going viral of what the streets look like after Pride events, and it's just a garbage dump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But, like, bottles, cups, wrappers. | ||
| That's what environmentalists do. | ||
| They litter. | ||
| They do. | ||
| Yeah, there was another really funny one a while ago. | ||
| It was like some environmental climate change rally, and after they left, everything was just trashed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's a good one. | ||
| And then there's a video of the Trump supporters having a rally, and they're all cleaning up afterwards, and everything's left the way they came there. | ||
| You know, that is kind of funny. | ||
| So when I look at this stuff and I look at Democrats, I wonder if Democrats just really hate their own voter base. | ||
| But I mean that literally. | ||
| I think they do. | ||
| And I think they hate Americans. | ||
| I think they just look down on everybody. | ||
| Was that like that great, you guys saw the Chris Cuomo moment when he was on the floor of the DNC and he was looking up and he was like, these people are literally looking down on us. | ||
| He points out all these boxes started at half a million dollars. | ||
| These people get special privileged access. | ||
| That's the game they play. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I've always been very uncomfortable as well with her husband. | ||
| I mean, you know, former head of Google or whatever it is, and then now... Is that where he worked? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That doesn't make me feel good about the public-private partnership between Big Tech and the White House at all. | ||
| No one really talks about it. | ||
| It would be uncomfortable, right, if Mark Zuckerberg were her significant other? | ||
| Well, and also they got married, they got married 10 years ago. | ||
| They were introduced on a blind date by the head of ABC and her husband. | ||
| So she was literally introduced on a blind date to her husband by the person who is in charge of hosting the only debate Kamala Harris has agreed to. | ||
| And got the Biden interview after the debate and got the Kim Cheadle interview. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I don't think he worked at Google. | ||
| It wasn't Google? | ||
| He was a lawyer. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He left his position in the law firm when Kamala Harris became vice president so that he could be supporting her full time. | ||
| I could have it wrong. | ||
| I think Emhoff is an interesting character. | ||
| I mean, I think there are a lot of moments with Kamala Harris where things don't feel authentic. | ||
| You know, obviously, we're not in her marriage. | ||
| We don't know what happened there, but it definitely seems like she is- Happy anniversary, Dougie! | ||
| Well, and she's trying to say, I'm from the middle class, and I'm one of you, and working, and my mom. | ||
| Meanwhile, she's married an elite attorney from California. | ||
| She's held high-ranking government positions, like she was in the Senate. | ||
| I don't really understand how you can continue to say... She's left her way into, you know, the generals office, apparently. | ||
| How can you say you're of the working class when nothing about your lifestyle has signaled that? | ||
| Maybe your childhood was, like, maybe your childhood was super middle class. | ||
| Well, but if you look, I mean, her mother, she talks a lot about her mother's immigrant past, you know, and all of the hardship that she faced as an immigrant. | ||
| But if you look at what the story is, her mother was 19 from India. | ||
| She came here to study science. | ||
| Become a doctor. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because there were great opportunities here. | ||
| And this is the person who's lecturing Kamala Harris as a young person about civil rights. | ||
| That just seems really bizarre. | ||
| Her mother then, didn't she like get a PhD and became a professor at McGill, which is like one of the most elite universities in Canada. | ||
| She grew up in a very nice area. | ||
| She grew up in Montreal. | ||
| And Emma Jo Morris, who's also from Montreal, keeps posting pictures and being like, this is where Kamala Harris grew up in Westmount, which is this beautiful Wealthy neighborhood that I walked through once and I was like damn this nice here You know, I didn't even know Kamala Harris grew up there, but that's nice Yeah, the left the lefty Democratic machine thrives on elitism Ivy League schools, you know, it's a who-knows-who situation There's nothing working-class about the way she presents about her context in life about the way she acts at all I mean this this is | ||
| And you know, these Democrats, you look at Pelosi and everybody else, they have more in common with the Urbano establishment, which is another branch of the Uniparty, than they have in common with any one of us, especially the working class. | ||
| And if, Tim, I got that wrong on her husband before, then I apologize. | ||
| I don't know why I thought that was in my head, but you can't get it right all the time. | ||
| Let's jump to this story from the Postmillennial. | ||
| Foo Fighters falsely claimed Trump used their My Hero song to introduce RFK Jr. | ||
| without permission. | ||
| Indeed, the Trump campaign had a license. | ||
| So, the Foo Fighters, we actually, let me pull up, here you go. | ||
| I wrote this, I put your tweet in there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They said, let's be clear, Wu-Tang for Children says, did you let Trump play your song? | ||
| They said, no. | ||
| Well, according to The Independent, they have seen documents appearing to confirm the campaign has indeed licensed the song from BMI's SongView service. | ||
| Quote, we have a license to play the song, a campaign spokesperson said. | ||
| So the Foo Fighters are playing this game where they're like, we didn't personally approve it, but... | ||
| In all literal sense, the Foo Fighters puts their song up for licensing, handled by BMI, which is one of the big music unions. | ||
| The Trump campaign then licenses the song. | ||
| That is with Foo Fighters' permission. | ||
| What do they think is going to happen? | ||
| Now they're acting like it didn't happen, and they're saying they're going to give any money from the royalties Which is stupid because it was a one-time use at an event, which is probably a couple hundred bucks. | ||
| And they're going to give that money to the Kamala Harris campaign? | ||
| Now they've just overtly chosen sides in a political dispute, which has pissed everybody off. | ||
| Well, and after they were, I saw some, you know, people were saying on Twitter, like, oh, they just don't want to be involved in any political thing at all. | ||
| They don't want to take any sides. | ||
| And it's like, no, that turns out to be a lie. | ||
| They're actually backing Kamala Harris. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| They just said that they're going to give the money to her. | ||
| Well, if they had a license, that license is an absolute defense. | ||
| That means that the litigation is frivolous. | ||
| They'll lose, Trump will win, and they'll sue him for attorney's fees and then take the attorney's fees and donate to the Trump campaign. | ||
| There's no suing. | ||
| I think Trump should sue them for- That's what I mean. | ||
| Counter-sue for attorney's fees. | ||
| So if there's a frivolous lawsuit that's just based on bullcrap, right, and they know it's false, and if he's got an absolute defense with the license- But he's not being sued. | ||
| He's always- They're just tweeting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're just complaining online, right? | |
| That's even like more like you're saying they would take legal action they would take stuff but instead they're just like no we didn't let them we don't like it like I just I get so tired of this like Trump is so bad that if he ever comes near anything that that people like their fans are gonna freak out and melt down like I I what what do I don't know what the children of whatever it's called like do they they want there to be a caveat in any of their agreements anybody can use the song except for bad Donald Trump and I I Celine Dion recently bitching about it I tweeted, hey Foo Fighters, why are you lying? | ||
| Just for that I'm going to cover Everlong. | ||
| That's a warning. | ||
| And then it was funny because Lance from the Serfs said something like, Tim finally figured it out or whatever. | ||
| And I responded with, I already warned Max Collins from Eve 6, I will cover Inside Out, don't you make me do it. | ||
| I will play that song. | ||
| You should. | ||
| You know what's hilarious? | ||
| The Wu-Tang for the children, right? | ||
| So when you look at Wu-Tang Clan's history, and if you look at Rei Kuan, who's the founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, Rei Kuan the chef, one of his aliases is the Black Trump. | ||
| He held himself as the Black Trump this entire time. | ||
| I mean, what are we talking about here? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, Trump's very, very bad. | ||
| This is what gets me. | ||
| It's like so... Very, very bad. | ||
| Just very bad. | ||
| Very, very bad. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But can you name a Kamala Harris policy? | ||
| Oh, she's joy. | ||
| Irrelevant. | ||
| But you know what I did hear? | ||
| I was listening to all these post-DNC analysis, and it was amazing how many left-wing pundits were like, well, there was all this hype that Beyonce was going to be there, and then she wasn't. | ||
| Ha ha, we're not mad about it. | ||
| But can you believe that? | ||
| We took that. | ||
| There was hype on Thursday that Taylor Swift and Beyonce were going to be there. | ||
| That's how they're filling these places up. | ||
| People were pissed. | ||
| They did this during Occupy Wall Street with Radiohead. | ||
| They said that it's the only way they could have got people to show up. | ||
| They said, hey, Radiohead's gonna play at Occupy Wall Street in support of the protest. | ||
| And then 2000 some odd people showed up. | ||
| And then they said, they did something to the effect of like, before we get into the real reason everyone's here, we're gonna talk to you about Occupy Wall Street. | ||
| And then everyone sat and listened. | ||
| And that's how they tricked everybody. | ||
| And then of course, nobody showed up to play anything. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| My favorite post afterwards, though, was, uh, Taylor Swift should say she has an album she'll only release if Harris gets elected. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| Which I think is kind of funny. | ||
| But meanwhile, like, one of her best friends, Brittany Mahomes, digs Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Who she spent the weekend with. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In Rhode Island. | ||
| In Rhode Island with all of the other, like, fancy people. | ||
| You know what was funny about that is all I could think of was, like, Edith Wharton and those Newport days of the early 20th century when all the rich people just flocked to Rhode Island for their summers. | ||
| And I thought, like, You guys are elitist scum. | ||
| Yeah, it's pretty elite. | ||
| Staying in one of those old mansions, you know. | ||
| Look, she wrote a song about it. | ||
| It's part of her art now. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's part of Edith Wharton's art too, but like, nobody wants to actually live in House of Mirth. | ||
| I just, as a state, Rhode Island is so small, but they have maintained being so elite for so long. | ||
| Right? | ||
| But there's also a lot of poverty in Rhode Island. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I think that's true for a lot of New England. | ||
| You've got these very, very wealthy enclaves with very rural or very poverty-stricken areas. | ||
| I'm totally thrown off by the fact that we're now doing this to music. | ||
| I really enjoyed that. | ||
| I thought that was terrific. | ||
| I liked it, but it's just I'm not used to it. | ||
| I feel like we should do things more calmly. | ||
| I feel like we should get cocktails, you know? | ||
| Yeah, but this is a symptom of the panic, I suppose. | ||
| I don't think Foo Fighters knows or actually cares about anything related to politics. | ||
| I actually think they knew that the license went out. | ||
| I'm willing to bet that when the Trump campaign licensed the song, Here's a possibility. | ||
| They licensed a catalog. | ||
| They went to BMI and said, how much to use your songs? | ||
| And they said it's going to cost you X amount of dollars per month. | ||
| They said, here you go. | ||
| And they said, you got it. | ||
| That's a strong possibility. | ||
| It's also possible that they really wanted specifically this song for a one-time use, which is a common thing. | ||
| So when there's a live show happening, you reach out to the representative agencies and you say, how much for a one-time use license? | ||
| And they'll say something like, I think it's like $1,000 to $2,000. | ||
| For a big event like this, it's like a grand. | ||
| And then they go, you got it. | ||
| I'm willing to bet the reps told the Foo Fighters, or at least their manager, and they were like, Trump campaign has bought a license to play the song. | ||
| And they're like, cool. | ||
| They probably didn't think twice about it. | ||
| They're probably just sitting there jamming in the tour bus on a plane, whatever it is they're doing. | ||
| And then, uh, Once the tweets came out, and it became this really big deal, maybe they didn't know it was going to be the RFK Jr. | ||
| event and thought it was going to be playing in the background. | ||
| Maybe they thought it was gonna be like him playing Tiny Dancer or something, and no one's calling out John and yelling at him. | ||
| But it was this iconic historic moment. | ||
| It was perfect. | ||
| The song was perfect for it. | ||
| It was just so iconic. | ||
| You had the pyrotechnics going off, you had RFK coming out, you had My hero. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You had like legit two different factions of different political sides coming together because they are united on some ideals. | ||
| RFK Jr. | ||
| is calling it the Justice League now. | ||
| I think it's awesome. | ||
| So Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Trump, and he just tweeted, wow, a Wonder Woman just joined the Justice League. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris administration pulled RFK's secret service detail. | ||
| If Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump, and RFK Jr. | ||
| is the Justice League, that would make the Harris-Biden administration the Legion of Doom. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| I think that works. | ||
| That's what they're called. | ||
| They are kind of a legion of doom. | ||
| I mean, they have abortion buses and they have starting wars and, you know, they have censorship. | ||
| I mean, they're terrible people out there. | ||
| The great thing about this song is they'll never be able to separate it from this moment ever again. | ||
| I'm sure they're really mad about that. | ||
| Eternally fused together. | ||
| And the old rumor was that it was about Kurt Cobain, but now it's about RFK Jr. | ||
| Here, so let's add this to the story. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard's endorsement of Donald Trump, saying, I'm committed to doing all that I can to send President Trump back to the White House, where he can once again serve as our commander-in-chief. | ||
| RFK Jr. | ||
| says, Wonder Woman just joined the Justice League. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| You know, look, it's kind of a silly tweet, but it is fascinating to see former Democrats joining up with Donald Trump. | ||
| I think we have the big tent party here. | ||
| Democrats have shown themselves to be cult-like. | ||
| The Kennedys attacking RFK Jr. | ||
| prove that it's a cult. | ||
| It was, what's her name, Kathleen? | ||
| Is that a sister? | ||
| She was like he she basically said because he left the Democratic Party he's betrayed the family and their values and and and his his father and uncle would be disappointed if they could see today and I'm just like Betraying family and attacking them, attacking a family member over their opinions, that's betrayal. | ||
| That's way worse. | ||
| Having an opinion is fine. | ||
| If they'd put out a statement where they said something like, we disagree with Bobby's decision to endorse Donald Trump, but we look forward to seeing him at Christmas. | ||
| I would have been like, oh, that's fine. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| You know, I respect that. | ||
| Instead, they were like, I can't believe he would do this to us and tatter the legacy of his family. | ||
| What's crazy, what's absolutely crazy about that is you also had David Axelrod coming out and saying, you know, your father would be appalled at this. | ||
| You had Bradley Whitford, who I think just thinks that he must be Josh Lyman inside, you know, the West Wing actor who came out and blasted Sheryl Hines over it. | ||
| But what's truly appalling, and what none of these Kennedys are talking about, is how the Democrat Party that they adore literally sabotaged RFK's campaign. | ||
| They sabotaged it. | ||
| They went in there, they put people inside the campaign to sabotage it. | ||
| They launched lawfare in every state where he was running to sabotage it. | ||
| They created a PAC specifically to fund these lawsuits. | ||
| And nobody's talking about how the Democrats of yore, namely like John and Bobby Kennedy, would be appalled, perhaps. | ||
| Perhaps they wouldn't be. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, they would be. | ||
| They should be. | ||
| You know, would be appalled by the way that Bobby Kennedy Jr. | ||
| has been treated by the party that they were a part of. | ||
| If you took Democrats from any other era, they'd be appalled by each and every iteration of themselves. | ||
| It's like how J.D. | ||
| Vance is actually a Democrat circa 1986. | ||
| Like, those are the values. | ||
| Yeah, I wonder about Republicans, though. | ||
| Republicans, I think, would be less, but still. | ||
| Like, any person from a while ago would be disgusted by the people around today. | ||
| Yeah, probably. | ||
| I think they would certainly be disgusted with the anti-American sentiment in the Democratic Party. | ||
| I think that's for sure. | ||
| Yeah, and the infiltration or just outright communism. | ||
| I don't know what else to call it, but it was not too long ago we all understood that it wasn't a good thing. | ||
| Especially when it comes to government and leadership in government and now they just regularly like, yeah, this is great. | ||
| This is a part of who we are. | ||
| We accept this gigantic communist wing of our party. | ||
| It's problematic to say the least. | ||
| I think JFK would roll over in his grave a few times. | ||
| Let's jump to the story from the Postmillennial. | ||
| Kamala's campaign demands seated debate with notes for September 10th ABC event report. | ||
| Okay, I didn't believe it when I heard the news because this was one of those When Trump was going to debate Biden, they were like, Biden's claiming he wants to be sitting down. | ||
| And the media was like, no, no, no, that's not true. | ||
| He doesn't want to sit down. | ||
| Kamala does. | ||
| She can't stand up for that long. | ||
| What, is she not capable of standing? | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| Jason Miller said that this is what the campaign wants. | ||
| And Kamala's campaign was like, no, we didn't say that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Of course. | ||
| But they also said that the rules for the debate are in flux and that they haven't come to any determinations about that. | ||
| They do want to have hot mics because they are hoping to catch Donald Trump's face. | ||
| Real quick, the news is that Trump's campaign is claiming... Jason Miller told Politico that the Kamala Harris campaign wants to sit down and have notes during the debate. | ||
| And they're denying that? | ||
| And the Kamala's campaign is denying that. | ||
| Oh, so it's nothing then? | ||
| It could go either way. | ||
| Well, the rumor now is that Trump is saying he doesn't want to do the debate because of the bias from the panel. | ||
| And I think Donna Brazile is going to be on it. | ||
| Is that the case? | ||
| I saw that there were two hosts, but I didn't see who the panel was. | ||
| So not her. | ||
| We have this one from also Post Malone. | ||
| ABC had his Biden appointee close friends with Kamala and set her up with Doug Emhoff. | ||
| Yeah, I was just talking about that. | ||
| So I can certainly understand why Trump's going to be like, what is this? | ||
| Well, and Harris won't agree to any of the other debates. | ||
| You know, they claim that Fox is too biased, but like, ABC is literally run by one of her best friends who set her up with her husband and who's been appointed by Joe Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And who's gotten several major Biden administration exclusives. | ||
| That's what I find strange. | ||
| When Fox offered this, I think it was supposed to be September 17th as an alternative date, they would host the debate. | ||
| I thought it was so strange that the reaction was like Trump's running away from pre-agreed upon debate. | ||
| Sure, he agreed to debate on ABC with Biden on September 10th. | ||
| Biden. | ||
| Do you remember that guy? | ||
| I know the Harris campaign has forgotten about him. | ||
| Maybe they shouldn't have agreed to the June debate. | ||
| So this was a quote from Trump. | ||
| Trump. He said, quote, Will panelists Donna Brazile give the questions to the | ||
| Marxist candidate like she did for cricket Hillary Clinton? | ||
| Will Kamala's best friend who heads up ABC do likewise? Where is little | ||
| George Slopinopoulos Slopidopoulos hanging out now? Will he be involved? Trump | ||
| wrote referring to George Stephanopoulos. | ||
| George Slopidopoulos. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I don't know if he's if she's actually expected to be she's a contributor. | ||
| I think Trump's just saying that Brazil gave the questions to Hillary Clinton last time. | ||
| So he doesn't trust ABC News this time. | ||
| Which why? | ||
| Why? | ||
| I mean, you'd think that ABC News would probably prep Kamala Harris for this, just like they would prep her for any kind of long form interview. | ||
| Right, which she still hasn't given. | ||
| She said we'd get one by, you know, the end of August, but that's slowly creeping up on us. | ||
| And there's no rumor that there's going to be anything from her. | ||
| I think it's interesting that she, you know, I think maybe the Trump campaign shouldn't have agreed to a September ABC debate. | ||
| I'm not saying no September, but there should have been a different network. | ||
| But at the time, they thought it was going to be Biden all the way through, and it didn't matter what, like, no network could have covered up the state that Biden was in. | ||
| That's why the first debate went so badly. | ||
| I think it's just arrogance on the part of the Harris campaign to say, oh, well, you know, we're the new campaign, so you can't, you know, this contract is still valid. | ||
| It's a completely different agreement when it's a different candidate. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| And who comes to a fight and sits down? | ||
| Look, you stand and fight. | ||
| That is what you do. | ||
| And moreover, who has ever gone to a debate with Donald Trump and come out unscathed? | ||
| He's not the type of guy to run from a fight. | ||
| I do think that there should be people there from all the networks. | ||
| You have three moderators, right? | ||
| Fox, CNN, and whoever else. | ||
| One network should not monopolize it. | ||
| We've seen how unfair and how unjust that can be. | ||
| It should be fair, it should be square, that's not what it is and I guess we'll have to see what happens. | ||
| I don't think Harris wants to sit down. | ||
| I think that's fake news. | ||
| I think it's a political attack. | ||
| It's always a political attack because why would anyone weaken themselves by just coming out and saying they want to sit down? | ||
| Okay, see I was thinking maybe she wants to sit down so you get that because she's pulling up the fact that she's a prosecutor. | ||
| Like she's sitting at the table for the people and he's sitting like he's a defendant. | ||
| Like to create that sort of image. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Or height privilege. | ||
| That's true too. | ||
| Trump is a lot taller. | ||
| Okay, so that's plausible actually, and now they're being forced to deny it because Miller went public with it. | ||
| That could be a thing. | ||
| Yeah, that's plausible. | ||
| And the notes could be a thing as well because she doesn't seem to remember anything other than her upbringing and, you know, the color of her skin. | ||
| Since television era, our presidents have been getting taller. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because height really does convey some kind of, you know, it triggers some kind of emotional response in people. | ||
| Yeah, it'd be tough for Greg Abbott. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, even when she walked on stage with walls one of the first times, I remember seeing the video and being like, she's just actually overshadowed. | ||
| She doesn't, she doesn't, she's not five foot tall or something. | ||
| Maybe something. | ||
| She's petite and I don't hold that against her, but you know, it's just, there are women who have a really commanding stage presence and she's just not one of them. | ||
| She doesn't exude leadership. | ||
| When you think about like a small petite woman who was in like a position of power and who was probably a little bit intimidating, just as Ginsburg, right? | ||
| I disagree with the politics, right? | ||
| Definitely a little intimidating. | ||
| Yeah, you look at her, you're like, oh wow, you know, okay. | ||
| But Harris is the polar opposite. | ||
| She's just like, I'm here. | ||
| Chelsea Gabbard's not like super tall, you know? | ||
| She's like about my height. | ||
| I think she's great. | ||
| But she's great. | ||
| Yeah, she's fantastic. | ||
| She exudes leadership, yeah. | ||
| Do you think that Kamala is going to lean on her feminist prosecutor image that she's sort of trying to create from herself right now when she goes to this debate? | ||
| Or do you think that she'll try and come up with a new strategy? | ||
| I think she has to lean on it. | ||
| I mean, she's going to call Trump a felon. | ||
| She's going to say she's a prosecutor and she put guys like him away and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| She'd be foolish not to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that going to work? | |
| It's a good question and it could backfire, right? | ||
| Because a lot of people know that the system is weaponized, especially against Trump. | ||
| That his convictions are crap. | ||
| So hopefully not. | ||
| I was thinking this hot mic thing is actually not a good move. | ||
| She's thinking that Trump will just be like making all these side comments. | ||
| It would be the best. | ||
| If I could be misremembering, but I felt like there weren't that many side comments from Trump in the muted debate. | ||
| Like when he was debating Biden, he kept it pretty cool, and I felt like it was Biden who was sort of making like rambling statements. | ||
| That could be because it was muted. | ||
| But then like he has the discipline to do it, right? | ||
| Like they would have these two shots of them, their mics are muted, but you don't see Trump's mouth moving. | ||
| I would take Trump on a hot mic all day. | ||
| It's always gold. | ||
| It's not usually that bad. | ||
| Also, the Kamala's campaign apparently said that they would be glad to speak contemporaneously with Trump on a hot mic, like, to address the things he said, because she wants to do a whole, like, I'm speaking thing. | ||
| You know, she wants to, like, lean into her identity and get some, like, you know, Southern Black accent going somehow. | ||
| Well, you know, when she faced Oh, yeah. | ||
| Real quick. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Someone pointed out that Harris debated Pence sitting down at desks with notes. | ||
| She did. | ||
| I'll pull up the pictures. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, there's just... Well, this is not the JV debate. | |
| And that's when she accused Pence of, like, interrupting her. | ||
| That's where we get this I'm speaking thing from. | ||
| I mean, yeah, she is trying to make it so that Trump seems like a new man. | ||
| Yeah, there you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I compared... They were sitting at desks with notes. | |
| I compared her wanting to have notes to an open book test in a freshman year lecture class. | ||
| Oh, so now I definitely think the story's real and they're just trying to downplay it because it was embarrassing for them. | ||
| It definitely seems embarrassing, yeah. | ||
| Stand and fight. | ||
| Stand and be heard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| What is this? | ||
| Sitting at desks with notes. | ||
| And before, when they were scheduling this with Biden, I think the Trump campaign and Trump's kind of references in some of his more recent speeches, they were like, the Biden campaign gave us options because they assumed we would say no. | ||
| So we said yes to everything because we just knew we could handle it. | ||
| And I think now it's totally fair for the Trump campaign to be like, no, I don't want to sit at a desk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stand up. | |
| Like, we're going to stand this whole time. | ||
| I think that if she's really going to show up for the debate, it's It shouldn't be on her terms the way it had to be with Biden. | ||
| Biden was going to collapse anyways. | ||
| I think she should not have to get this, like, inherited upper hand that she seems to think she deserves. | ||
| Hilarious. | ||
| Biden collapses. | ||
| Trump gets shot. | ||
| Why? | ||
| He's on his feet and he's still here. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A funny world. | ||
| Someone should keep track, maybe a spreadsheet or a tally, of the historical events that have happened in this year alone. | ||
| And then maybe you do the past two years, then three, then four. | ||
| And we can just count and then, you know, wow! | ||
| Time's moving real quick. | ||
| I believe in the internet. | ||
| It's all historic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Historic like Kamala's candidacy and Trans Day of Visibility being on Easter. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| Historic gains of the Biden administration's climate initiative under something called the American, no, the Inflation Reduction Act, which was really just a, that was historic climate change legislation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Massive spending to reduce inflation. | ||
| What do you think the legacy of the Biden administration will be? | ||
| I think he's going to be easily forgotten, like George W. Bush. | ||
| Jimmy Carter. | ||
| Yeah, like put on your sweater. | ||
| Hopefully not Buchanan. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But maybe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They seem like they're kind of throwing out these last minute initiatives, like he's announced a new environmental thing. | ||
| He's apparently taking a more strong position on the ceasefire, you know, or like trying to like... He hasn't done anything. | ||
| He has nothing on his schedule this week. | ||
| That's another thing we covered today. | ||
| He has nothing on his schedule at all. | ||
| Well, he doesn't have a country to run, you know. | ||
| Yeah, he's not running anything. | ||
| And you wonder, like, who's making all of these decisions? | ||
| Is Antony Blinken effectively running the country right now? | ||
| Terrifying thought. | ||
| Kamala Harris isn't doing it. | ||
| She's out there experiencing joy and sharing euphoria with the nation. | ||
| So who's in charge? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Democrats don't think anybody needs to be in charge. | ||
| You know, they just think that the bureaucracy needs to be in charge or like they said during the party, you know, they think the organs, the government organs need to be in charge, as RFK would say. | ||
| Let's jump to this story from Politico. | ||
| It's not a pro-life position. | ||
| Anger after Trump says no to Comstock. | ||
| Politico reports, former President Donald Trump gave his clearest answer to date on the federal regulation of abortion pills, and it's not what conservatives want to hear. | ||
| After months of avoiding specifics, Trump told CBS News on Monday that he would not use the 150-year-old Comstock Act to ban mail delivery of the drugs if elected in November, adding, the federal government should have nothing to do with the issue. | ||
| Many prominent conservatives and anti-abortion activists were outraged by the remark, calling it nonsensical and cowardly. | ||
| Which brings us to the big debate, which is affecting X tremendously. | ||
| This is from Denny Berkey says, J.D. | ||
| Vance says, President Trump would veto any abortion ban that came across his desk. | ||
| This includes vetoing a proposed ban on late-term abortion when the unborn baby feels pain. | ||
| Horrific. | ||
| And Lila Rose from Live Action says, if you don't stand for pro-life principles, you don't get pro-life votes. | ||
| This has resulted in a wave of individuals tweeting out, much to the accusation of being bots, that they would not be voting for Donald Trump because he's not pro-life. | ||
| Here's one screenshot where someone said, I'm an evangelical voter in Virginia. | ||
| This year, I'll not be voting for any Republican candidate who does not disavow the watering down of the party platform on abortion. | ||
| That includes Donald Trump. | ||
| I refuse to reward betrayal with my vote. | ||
| The next one says, I'm an evangelical voter in South Carolina. | ||
| This year, I'll not be voting for any Republican candidate, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Same thing. | ||
| Then you got this guy says, I'm a voter in Indiana. | ||
| I want to vote for Trump, but his leftward shift on abortion has forced me to withhold my vote. | ||
| I pray that he reverses course, but until then I refuse to reward betrayal with my vote, followed by another identical. | ||
| And I've seen these tweets, a whole bunch of them. | ||
| So the first ones are from last month, and the two latter ones are from, I believe they're from closer to today, if not today. | ||
| And I've seen a bunch of these same exact posts where they're like, I'm an evangelical voter and I won't vote for Trump. | ||
| And I just find this really, really funny. | ||
| Because I don't... It's the stupidest position in the world. | ||
| I view it as fake. | ||
| I have to imagine these are fake people, fake bot accounts. | ||
| Maybe that's wrong, though, and they really are just the worst political activists ever known, ever. | ||
| The idea that they would... I'm just gonna say this one more thing. | ||
| The president who got Roe v. Wade overturned is not strong enough on abortion. | ||
| What's crazy about that, too, is Trump never said that he was in favor of a federal abortion ban. | ||
| He said that he was in favor of returning the decision to the states and overturning the bad case law that he thinks Roe v. Wade was, and that a lot of people think Roe v. Wade was. | ||
| So when these bots, if you will, or people, whatever they are, are complaining about being | ||
| betrayed, they're actually not understanding what it was that Trump promised in the first | ||
| place, which was returning the decision to the states, not having it be a federal legislative | ||
| initiative. | ||
| It's not in the Constitution. | ||
| That was the idea. | ||
| Privacy is not a guaranteed right in the Constitution, the way that it was interpreted for this case | ||
| law. | ||
| So my you've got a lot of people who are saying they won't vote for Donald Trump unless he | ||
| goes full abortion ban at the federal level. | ||
| And that's just basically it's it's whinging activists virtue signaling because Trump, | ||
| as you mentioned, was never for this and has given more to the pro-life side than we've | ||
| seen in generations. | ||
| But it's never going to be enough. | ||
| My view of this is, imagine you've got a great battlefield. | ||
| There's two nations, battlefield right in the middle, and there's a constant pushback. | ||
| Donald Trump is leading the charge with one side, and all of a sudden the troops are turning around saying, you know what, Why aren't we storming the capital gates of the enemy nation? | ||
| And the president says, because we can't get there. | ||
| We have to get there by going through this battlefield. | ||
| And they're like, nah, I'm not going to listen to you because you're not at the enemy's gates already. | ||
| The idea that we'd go from where we are today to a federal abortion ban is ludicrous. | ||
| And that Trump could deliver that is ludicrous. | ||
| And Trump has said he doesn't want that. | ||
| Yeah, it's a sigh-ah. | ||
| Look, Trump has already delivered on his promise about Roe v. Wade, right? | ||
| So, it's like you said, he's done more for the pro-life movement than any other president before him. | ||
| He has been clear about the issue, that it should go to the states, and then people can lobby and litigate at the states accordingly. | ||
| This feels like a psyop to me, right? | ||
| RFK is now on board. | ||
| There are a lot of swing voters who are coming with him. | ||
| There are a lot of people who have different views on abortion. | ||
| I am as pro-life as a person could ever be, but I also understand that an election needs to be won here, right? | ||
| We need Trump in office. | ||
| There is a highest good here. | ||
| And I'm not saying that You know, we should sacrifice babies or anything for that. | ||
| What I'm saying is Trump has already delivered on abortion, right? | ||
| Look to the governors in each state to continue the fight there. | ||
| There are 50 states with 50 governors and 50 different courts. | ||
| Go fight the battles there for when it comes to abortion. | ||
| An election needs to be won. | ||
| We have RFK voters. | ||
| We have swing voters. | ||
| We have independents that need to be brought into the fold. | ||
| We can't sound like radicals on every friggin' issue. | ||
| We have to win. | ||
| Take a chill pill. | ||
| And when it comes to all those other stuff, I think those are bot accounts. | ||
| You know, if you have this person who's the most outspoken person on the issue in the country, she's going to have her position. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| I'll take losing one or two people over here on our side to gain 50 or 100 on the other. | ||
| So the accusation is that these pro-life activists make money and gain when abortion is an issue, and that if Trump actually wins and actually succeeds in expanding restrictions on abortion, then these activists and non-profits will have a harder time raising money. | ||
| So Ashley St. | ||
| Clair has been calling out Lila Rose. | ||
| She says, Leather Rose, the most prominent voice in the pro-life movement, is telling | ||
| you not to vote because Trump isn't principled enough, while she pays herself over a quarter | ||
| million dollars a year and uses 14 million dollars in pro-life donations to throw luxury | ||
| galas and pay for her podcast appearances. | ||
| She says, I mean, come on. | ||
| They literally held the last gala at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna. | ||
| I declined to go, but special guests also received rooms at the Ritz. | ||
| There's a few other people who have joined in, in calling out, uh, it's, it's live action or is it, it's live action. | ||
| I thought it was live action. | ||
| I thought it was live action. | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| Homonyms, what are you going to do? | ||
| So, live action, live action, whatever. | ||
| Lila Rose. | ||
| Lila Rose, there you go. | ||
| People are releasing their 990s, this is their tax forms, and very little money going towards grants. | ||
| And I don't know what they do or what their mission is or what people give them money for, so I'm not going to criticize them. | ||
| But many people are pointing out they feel that they're just using the money for quote-unquote awareness campaigns, which basically means paid media appearances and special events. | ||
| But does that actually do anything to advance restricting abortions? | ||
| Well, this is a huge... Oh, go ahead. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I was going to say, it's an interesting question. | ||
| I'm not a fan of sort of hinting at like investigations when it comes to finances and stuff, because a lot of the stuff is par for the course. | ||
| I think that Lila Rose, what she's doing is foreseeable. | ||
| In this situation, she's not going to be like, oh yeah, let's, you know, Let me take any stance that sounds like it's not against abortion. | ||
| She needs to be consistent over there. | ||
| Do I think that her messaging on the issue could be better? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Do I think that she should be saying this as vocally and as loud as she is? | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| Do I think that she's going to have an effect on swing voters or an RFK? | ||
| Newcomers to the MAGA movement. | ||
| I don't really think she is because she's sort of the CEO of this not-for-profit that's advocating for these very hard pro-life stances, right? | ||
| Everybody else is sort of what matters. | ||
| So those are the people, everybody else is who I'm more concerned with. | ||
| But it's weird that you would get these very pro-life people being like, I'm not going to vote for Trump, you know, and the alternative is what, you're going to sit out the election and go with Kamala Harris? | ||
| They're going to vote for Trump. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Harris is not a good, I can tell you, you will not like her position on abortion. | ||
| It's real bad. | ||
| The only position we actually know of hers is on abortion, which is unrestricted access for abortion, no matter what the age of the mother is. | ||
| It's worse than that. | ||
| The Democrats' position on abortion is to send buses to parking lots for women to get drugs for their abortions on the spot. | ||
| It's not just they're going to allow a woman to get an abortion when she wants one, it's they're going to actively drive their vehicles to these neighborhoods and offer them vasectomies and abortions. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| And it's a black genocide, basically, in this country. | ||
| Nine out of every ten babies in New York City who are black are aborted. | ||
| It's a horror. | ||
| It is a genocide. | ||
| I'm a traditional Catholic, so I look at the Church's teaching on the issue, and the Church says when it comes to voting on these issues, look for the lesser of the two evils, right? | ||
| Clearly, Donald Trump is the lesser of the two evils here, so if you are even remotely pro-life, and that is your prominent position, that's what matters to you most, you're duty-bound to vote for Trump under the Church's teaching. | ||
| It's wild that anybody could even suggest going the other way. | ||
| It's just so simple to me, I don't understand how these people can be serious. | ||
| Imagine a tug-of-war. | ||
| You're playing tug-of-war, and they're pulling that rope, and when you lose, it's like squid games. | ||
| If you lose, you fall into that pit, and you're like, I'm not gonna pull this rope anymore because you guys aren't further enough back. | ||
| Are you nuts? | ||
| The idea that Lila Rose and all these other accounts are basically saying they would rather Trump lose and Kamala Harris have her funding and support for mobile abortion buses is the better circumstance. | ||
| They want that reality over Donald Trump being like, I got Roe v. Wade banned and we're going to leave it to the states now. | ||
| Solar abortion buses, Tim. | ||
| Solar powered. | ||
| No, I'm saying that's Kamala's dream. | ||
| No harm for the environment, just harm for the babies. | ||
| It's got to be electric, electric solar-powered abortion buses for all. | ||
| The funny thing is, there was, Allie Beth Stuckey said that there's a lot of people calling the pro-life or saying this grifters, instead of trying to argue with them and convince them. | ||
| And it's like, Yeah, it's just funny to me because I'm sure, I know for a fact there are a lot of conservative pro-lifers who are upset with this other faction of pro-life activists who are basically saying, don't vote for Donald Trump, they're going to withhold their vote from him, which is just the most ridiculous... | ||
| Whiny baby thing to do. | ||
| But me, I'm not a conservative pro-lifer. | ||
| No, I'm certainly not a modern Democrat pro-choice, either. | ||
| I would consider myself to be anti-abortion, just not to the regard that most conservatives are, where at the state level they actually—I mean, these conservatives want outright bans across the board. | ||
| You have two principal factions of the pro-life side, federal abortion ban and we'll get there when we get there, but we also want abortion ban as well. | ||
| And I'm like, well, like almost. | ||
| I think it should be extremely restricted, but I wouldn't put myself in that camp. | ||
| There's a lot of difficult questions I don't know how to answer in terms of privacy and health and things like this. | ||
| But that being said, I'm not sitting here as some pro-lifer criticizing, you know, pro-lifers and calling them grifters. | ||
| I'm sitting here as someone who's a libertarian Old school pro-choice who has decided to vote for Donald Trump despite the fact that voting in his direction leads to abortion bans in the states because I accept we are facing an existential crisis. | ||
| And now I find it funny that there are some people saying, do you really think that Donald Trump is going to convince these like Trump dubious voters who are who are, you know, for abortion? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| He is, because I know them, and some of them are me. | ||
| I'm not someone who's going to be like, we must ban abortion all the time, no matter what, or I'm never going to vote for anybody. | ||
| It's me going, yeah, Donald Trump does a lot of things I don't like, but Kamala Harris is taking a dump on this country. | ||
| The greater evil. | ||
| I mean, it's beyond that. | ||
| Trump's not evil. | ||
| Right. | ||
| For the first time in my life, I feel like we have a moderate net positive in a president And then we have evil. | ||
| I mean, look, I looked at George W. Bush and Gore. | ||
| I'm a little kid at that time, and I'm like, I don't see the difference. | ||
| What's the difference between these guys? | ||
| You look at Biden, I'm sorry, Obama and McCain, and I was like, oh, everyone's telling me, you know, I kept hearing this hope and change, and it was something different. | ||
| They were like, he wasn't supposed to win. | ||
| It was supposed to be Hillary. | ||
| This was the big narrative they told us. | ||
| Obama usurped the Uniparty. | ||
| He came in as a late candidate. | ||
| Hillary Clinton was the heir to the Democrats and he stole it from her. | ||
| And I actually thought that what Trump turned out to be back then, I thought that before Trump, I thought Obama was that. | ||
| Me too. | ||
| So then when Trump comes along, I'm like, get out of here. | ||
| This is the same thing they're doing. | ||
| And then Trump wins, actually upends things. | ||
| And I'm like, wow, the foreign policy stuff was really good. | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| No new wars. | ||
| Boy, was the deep state pissed. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I'm looking at this as somebody who never voted Republican before, doesn't like the Republican Party for the most part. | ||
| Republicans have good people and Democrats have like one. | ||
| Republicans have like 17. | ||
| And so here I am being like, yeah, I'll vote Republican and I'm going to vote probably down ticket as well. | ||
| Well, especially here because Riley Moore is our candidate for Congress and he's great. | ||
| So for me, it's a no brainer. | ||
| So yes, Donald Trump is actively trying to court Libertarian Mises Caucus types, RFK Jr. | ||
| types, and there are actual conservative Republicans who are like, I'm not going to vote for him. | ||
| I mean, that's nuts to me. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| I mean, I think Trump is the greatest president of my lifetime, bar none for sure, for many of the reasons that you just stated, including his willingness to take on incredible personal risk to affect change and what he believes to be the best kind of change for this country. | ||
| And he's a very, very talented, very smart person. | ||
| Then when I've met a significant number of people from Congress at this point, And to Tim's point, in the Republican Party, there's probably about 20 people who are impressive and who actually care about this country. | ||
| And then there's everybody else. | ||
| So we already know that the Democrats hate this country. | ||
| And then you have all these other people in the Republican Party who hate you, who hate me. | ||
| I question their loyalty to this country. | ||
| And they'll work with the Democrats and they'll vote against us and they'll vote for Ukraine | ||
| and they'll do everything else that they possibly can do under the sun to thwart what Trump | ||
| is going to do if he gets back in office and to make sure that they do not help people | ||
| who actually care about this country, who are members of the Republican Party. | ||
| And so my point is this. | ||
| We should also focus on congressional races, right? | ||
| We need meaningful, talented candidates who actually will go to bat. | ||
| Little mini Trumps, if you will. | ||
| People who go in there and be their own version of an America First candidate and work with the rest of the people who were there because That place is a cesspool. | ||
| It's very unfortunate. | ||
| So Mike Cernovich just tweeted, we have a real shot in November and some folks are trying to create division. | ||
| Kamala Bucks went out to a lot of Christian influencers. It does look that way. | ||
| They'll usher in communism for 30 pieces of silver. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. Oof, bold | ||
| statement. | ||
| Accurate statement. | ||
| Yikes, man. | ||
| Well, let's do this. | ||
| Let's jump to one last story, and we'll talk about what's going on with Andrew Tate. | ||
| We have this from the AP. | ||
| So this has been ongoing for quite some time. | ||
| Andrew Tate's home after new human trafficking allegations. | ||
| So this has been ongoing for quite some time. | ||
| Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate, both of them are kickboxers and dual British | ||
| U.S. citizens with millions of followers. | ||
| Blah blah blah. | ||
| Charged with human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to exploit women. | ||
| Andrew Tate was also charged with rape in that case. | ||
| Now, they've been trying to go after this dude. | ||
| How long has it been? | ||
| Like two years or what is it? | ||
| It's been since 20... It's been almost three years now. | ||
| Almost three years now? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you actually represent Tate? | ||
| I represent both of them. | ||
| I represent Andrew and Tristan. | ||
| So, you're saying these allegations are not correct? | ||
| These allegations are 1000% false. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you want to walk us through what the story is and what's going on? | |
| Sure. | ||
| So, from day one, Andrew and Tristan, obviously they were all over the place, all over the world, very famous, very influential people. | ||
| Tristan met a girl in Florida from Miami. | ||
| The girl asked to go back to Romania with him. | ||
| He's like, I don't know. | ||
| I don't think it's such a good idea. | ||
| Romania is a different place. | ||
| You have a good life here. | ||
| She's like, no, I want to change. | ||
| I want to do this with my music career. | ||
| I want to have a career online, so on and so forth. | ||
| She goes to Romania. | ||
| She meets up with him. | ||
| She's there for six days. | ||
| After the sixth day, she found out that she wasn't going to be Tristan's wife. | ||
| Tristan had other women in his life. | ||
| Lo and behold, surprise, surprise. | ||
| And she turned on them and accused them of a litany of crimes that are unfathomable and 100% unequivocally false. | ||
| She sent text messages into Florida to parents and to other people, which triggered an investigation and a swatting, if you will, of their house in Romania. | ||
| The embassy got involved, the Romanian government got involved, and they went after them, bar none. | ||
| Now it's worthy to consider, we must consider the fact that at that point, the United Kingdom had already spent over two billion dollars in trying to cancel Andrew and Tristan. | ||
| So there are a lot of opportunistic people, nefarious characters, who would love nothing more in the world than to see these guys jailed and silenced forever. | ||
| The Romanian prosecutor was able, under Romanian law, to bury the facts of the case and not even present all the material facts to the judge or the Romanian public for the first year of the case. | ||
| We were brought on at some point. | ||
| We investigated the case thoroughly. | ||
| We knew and we continue to know that all the allegations against him are false. | ||
| We understood that the minute that that woman from Florida, once she sent these defamatory missiles into Florida, that she was on the hook for defamation in Florida and conspiracy in Florida. | ||
| So we sued her in a Florida court. | ||
| We just survived motions to dismiss in that court. | ||
| That case is proceeding. | ||
| That case is going well. | ||
| What we were able to do was publish the truth of everything that happened related to that story into the Romanian complaint, right? | ||
| The complaint has hundreds of paragraphs. | ||
| The entire story is told there. | ||
| Once that complaint was published, the Romanian prosecutor, the Romanian judges, the Romanian courts, the Romanian public consciousness, and certainly the Romanian defense team got a hold of it, was able to educate the Romanian public and the court there. | ||
| As a result of that, they got out of jail, they got off of house arrest, They were able to travel the country and they were just really recently granted the ability to travel the EU. | ||
| Somebody freaked out someplace and made a call and said we have several theories as to what has happened. | ||
| It's a double down to prosecution on them. | ||
| So they have a bunch of allegations from people that they've interviewed from the past few years 33 women or so. | ||
| 30 of them were interviewed and after the interview and or during the interview gave statements affirmative statements in defense of Andrew and Tristan Wow saying this is absolute crap two of the women so 31 and 32 Andrew and Tristan are being- it's alleged that they laundered money, right? | ||
| And that they laundered money by giving their baby mamas lavish gifts, putting them in lavish cars, and buying them houses. | ||
| Andrew and Tristan's defense is, these are my baby mamas, of course I'm going to take care of them because that's what good men do. | ||
| The baby mamas are in their camp as well, in defense. | ||
| There may be one other person that they're still working on, some shadow character someplace, who doesn't have a story, | ||
| who we don't know what's going on. | ||
| Long story short, the entire case against them is crap. | ||
| The latest arrests and everything? | ||
| Process is the punishment. | ||
| They went after them. | ||
| They arrested them again. | ||
| They took all their cars. | ||
| They took more jewelry. | ||
| They took more money. | ||
| We're north of $20 million in cash and gold in cars and assets that have been taken from them. | ||
| I mean, Andrews had like 60 cars taken. | ||
| I mean, one Bugatti's worth $5 million. | ||
| So this is about silencing them. | ||
| This is about the fact that Andrew and Tristan are very influential, especially when it comes to young men. | ||
| The mainstream media The European Union and the governments over there and everything that's involved in them as Andrew calls the matrix of the deep state wants young men to be docile, wants young men to be not aggressive, wants young men not to believe themselves. | ||
| Their message is you're a young man. | ||
| You should believe in yourself. | ||
| You should go out there, you should kill it, you should take care of your body, you should have discipline of your mind, discipline of your emotions, and go out there and be somebody in the world. | ||
| Now, do they have a history of saying wild stuff on the internet? | ||
| Of course they do. | ||
| Most of that stuff is 10 years old or older. | ||
| If I had a camera running when I was 25 years old, it probably wouldn't have been good stuff, right? | ||
| I'm 46 now. | ||
| I changed tremendously in the past 10 years and tremendously over the past 20. | ||
| As have they, right? | ||
| They're different men now. | ||
| So you're saying that, correct me if I'm wrong, there's no complainants right now? | ||
| They have. | ||
| So this is what they do. | ||
| They say that Andrew and Tristan use what's called the lover boy method, which means that if you're working for me and you're my employee and you feel positive about me in some way... You're being tricked. | ||
| You're being tricked. | ||
| And because I have the capability to one day human traffic you, You're guilty of the lover boy. | ||
| I'm guilty of using lover boy and because you've been lover boy your story about why you're defending me is not really worthwhile listening to because Your your mind has been screwed. | ||
| So they take a very paternalistic approach these women. | ||
| They're climbing our victims It's because they were doing only fans or they're doing online webcam stuff or what is this? | ||
| Some of these women were doing that stuff, like, way back when. | ||
| These other ones, we have no idea what the hell. | ||
| They went and they spoke to everybody that the Romanian government could get their hands on, that these guys ever interacted with. | ||
| At any point in time, did these guys hurt you, traffic you, rape you, hurt you? | ||
| They all said no. | ||
| They all said these guys are great, they're gentlemen, they took me out, this, that, and the other thing. | ||
| The Romanian government doesn't care. | ||
| It's taking a very paternalistic approach, saying, oh, sweetheart, you're just a little dumb girl who doesn't know what's going on. | ||
| These guys mined after you and we're going to prosecute them anyway. | ||
| It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life. | ||
| At the end of the day, they're going to be exonerated. | ||
| They've been asking for a trial since Jump Street. | ||
| Innocent men don't go, let's go to trial tomorrow. | ||
| Andrew and Tristan be like, give me a damn trial, bring these allegations out in court, and let's have the fight. | ||
| Standing on our ten toes down, standing on our own two feet in this court, and let's have the fight. | ||
| Let's prove your case against me or go to hell. | ||
| It could be another two years before they get a trial there, right? | ||
| So they're basically, where are they now? | ||
| Are they in jail? | ||
| They're out now. | ||
| We got them out. | ||
| They're out. | ||
| So the Romanian team, Aline and Alexandra out there running the Romanian team in Romania, fantastic lawyers. | ||
| We worked very hard to get them out. | ||
| Aline made a passionate argument in court and was able to win. | ||
| The judge saw through the bullcrap here. | ||
| So the way that they do it is they issue an arrest warrant. | ||
| then if I mean so the judge releases them, which is kind of interesting. | ||
| How are they these police able to go in and seize their property and freeze | ||
| their money or whatever? | ||
| So the way that they do it is they issue an arrest warrant. | ||
| They say this is a regurgitation of human trafficking allegations. | ||
| How do they get a warrant for this? | ||
| It gets to a point where a judge just says you're out on bail, but pending | ||
| you know trial or what is this? | ||
| Right, you're out on bail. | ||
| Essentially, if you were to analogize it to the American system, it'd be a bail pending appeal or bail pending trial, right? | ||
| Do they have a trial set or what? | ||
| No, they don't. | ||
| It could be another two years before they have a trial. | ||
| And the whole idea is to lock them up and silence them and bankrupt them and cancel them, to drag them through the mud and then say, oh, we're just going to give up in the end, but you've already destroyed my life. | ||
| But these two guys are built different. | ||
| They're truly different men. | ||
| They are committed toward fighting this fight for themselves and for every other man who would come before them. | ||
| They feel honor-bound and duty-bound to fight this fight because if they fall, they believe that there'll be a lot of other dominoes that fall after them. | ||
| I've seen a lot of videos people have shared that, on the surface, are indefensible. | ||
| Conrad, you know, him talking about young girls and girls that are underage and things like that by, I would just say, American standards. | ||
| The argument that I've heard is that, oh, but 16's legal in other countries and in certain areas. | ||
| Not that I think that makes, I mean, fine, maybe he doesn't go to jail for it, but it's still indefensible. | ||
| But I suppose if you're saying that they've changed and they're doing something different, then you've got to give people credit for that to a certain degree. | ||
| That being said, when it comes to the influence of the Tates, I hear what you're saying. | ||
| I definitely agree that there's this interest in stopping young men from shifting rightward because the polling we've seen has shown young men are overwhelmingly voting for Trump, moving Republican. | ||
| And it seems like it's not even just about Andrew Tate in the bigger picture. | ||
| By all means, anybody who wants to criticize the guy over everything they saw in those videos, do it and do it forever. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| If the criminal trial is false, they shouldn't be criminally charged. | ||
| However, if they went for Jordan Peterson, who is nowhere near, like, other side of the coin for Andrew Tate, He's a pro-responsibility. | ||
| He's in favor of taking control of your life. | ||
| And they called him a Nazi. | ||
| They threatened to put him through re-education. | ||
| They did, didn't they? | ||
| Did they make Jordan Peterson go through that re-education thing? | ||
| Yeah, for his license. | ||
| And he had to livestream it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| There is a definite establishment interest in stopping personalities that are telling young men to better themselves, or at the very least have the ability to. | ||
| Now, Jordan Peterson's re-education, they can't really lock him in jail like they can with Andrew Tate. | ||
| Andrew Tate's got a lot of money, but this is, it's pretty wild what's been going on. | ||
| Yeah, it's real wild. | ||
| And look, people should criticize and be critical of the things that they said in the past. | ||
| But what I will say is that they were in a much different position 10 years ago in their life. | ||
| They were up and coming. | ||
| They said things that had shock value. | ||
| These are street guys from Luton, from England. | ||
| They're also American citizens. | ||
| And they said whatever they needed to say to get on the map to make a name for themselves. | ||
| But as they began to grow and as they began to see that there was influence there, they began to realize that there was a responsibility that came with that influence. | ||
| And they began to sharpen their minds and sharpen their message and gear it toward positivity and strength for young men. | ||
| And that's what really pissed the government off. | ||
| It wasn't like, oh you were saying this stuff before we were mad. | ||
| They weren't coming for them then. | ||
| They came for them as soon as they started saying a man is a man, a woman is a woman, be strong, do this, be traditional, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Then the government came from them. | ||
| You can say a lot of the wild stuff. | ||
| The government will never come for you. | ||
| Start preaching traditional values and masculine excellence, and they come for your head. | ||
| Double-edged sword for the government. | ||
| It's made them bigger. | ||
| Way bigger. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so if whatever it is they're doing, and I'll state it this way, if these criminal charges end up fizzling out and dissolving, these guys are going to be wealthier and more powerful than they ever were before. | ||
| A hundred percent. | ||
| And another thing to do is to pay attention to the Florida case that we're litigating, right? | ||
| Because we're litigating the same set of facts under different laws. | ||
| It's the same set of facts in the American legal system. | ||
| We're saying in the court to this woman that she defamed them? | ||
| She hurt their reputation immeasurably and she conspired against them to do all these other things. | ||
| Tortious interference, the business relationship, all these other technical terms. | ||
| But we're litigating the same exact facts in that court saying you knew that you were wrong. | ||
| You lied. | ||
| Here's the proof that you lied. | ||
| By the way, here's the history of you destroying men's lives before us. | ||
| It's in a court. | ||
| And all we need the court to do is to find the truth here. | ||
| And the truth is, is that they're innocent. | ||
| She conjured up a story, one of her friends to destroy their lives for whatever reason. | ||
| And then she went on vacation. | ||
| That's what happened. | ||
| And their enemies in world governments and in the banking system and wherever else in the deep state took full advantage of this situation to exploit them and to keep them in prisons for, I mean, for extended period of time, which could be several more years. | ||
| And it's wrong. | ||
| What is their business now? | ||
| How do they make money and what do they do? | ||
| You know, right now there's Hustlers University. | ||
| They have... What is that? | ||
| It's a university where you can go and they say, look, you don't need a college education to be somebody in this world, right? | ||
| You don't need to go to any school to be somebody in this world. | ||
| You can come and learn practical skills on how to make money online or how to interview people or how to network. | ||
| You can come to our school. | ||
| We're going to give you transferable skills that'll help you succeed in the business marketplace | ||
| in the world for $50, $100, $200, whatever it is. | ||
| When you juxtapose that against an Ivy League education, there's a big difference in the | ||
| price. | ||
| And you know, lots of times when you go to college or an Ivy League education, they don't | ||
| even give you any practical skills for the real world. | ||
| So it's about setting men up for practical application of skills in the real world to | ||
| make money online. | ||
| That's one of the ways that they make their money. | ||
| They've made a lot of money in the past. | ||
| And, you know, they're crypto bros. | ||
| And that's really all I can kind of sort of get into with all that stuff. | ||
| But they're good men, they're honest men, they take care of people around them. | ||
| And what a lot of people don't know, is Andrew gets a lot of stuff, a lot of flack for his very pro-Palestinian human rights stance, right? | ||
| He's not a fan of the nation state of Israel. | ||
| He's got no problem with Jews as a whole, but when he looks at the nation state of Israel, | ||
| right, he's very pro-Palestinian. | ||
| He gets a lot of stuff for that, makes a lot of enemies for that. | ||
| But what he does not get a lot of attention for is all the human rights work that him | ||
| and Tristan do with Tate Pledge. | ||
| They give millions and millions of dollars all the time to build wells, to give food, | ||
| to help people in war-torn villages, to help people restore their lives after one government | ||
| or another has bombed them out. | ||
| These are good men who have done a lot of good for the world. | ||
| Even if you accept all the allegations against them as true, the amount of good that they've done for the world tremendously outweighs the bad. | ||
| And people don't see it because there's a very one-sided narrative out there against them. | ||
| So you think that the charges in Romania ultimately are going to end with their exoneration, their victory in this? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| If they get a fair judge, 100%. | ||
| No reasonable person could ever look at these facts and say that they're guilty of anything. | ||
| There's literally no evidence. | ||
| They don't have anything. | ||
| Did you follow their work before you got involved with their legal issues? | ||
| So I, Andrew came to my attention during the pandemic, right? | ||
| And I was like, you know, who is this guy, you know, out in the UAE or wherever he was during the pandemic, right? | ||
| So he had this very strong I'm not getting vaccinated. | ||
| I'm going to go to Switzerland or wherever he went to the one country that didn't lock down. | ||
| I don't believe in this. | ||
| I'm tall. | ||
| I'm young. | ||
| I'm strong. | ||
| This this disease has problems killing old people. | ||
| It's not going to kill me. | ||
| I'm just going to live my life. | ||
| So I started watching him then because like Trump a lot of the things he said I identify with I felt it on the visceral level. | ||
| So I started following him from that. | ||
| Point on. | ||
| And then at some point in my, during my January 6th advocacy, and I defend a lot of people in Trump world, I have, uh, defended people, uh, January 6th committee, the Trump probe, very outspoken all over TV, right? | ||
| They saw me, they were like, I like your fight. | ||
| Consider fighting for us. | ||
| And I was like, bro, I love what you guys are doing. | ||
| I'll definitely fight for you. | ||
| Let me take a look at the evidence. | ||
| Once I saw the evidence against them, I was infuriated. | ||
| Lots of people don't notice, but I became a lawyer because my own brother was wrongfully convicted in 2005. | ||
| Of what? | ||
| He was convicted of hurting a child. | ||
| He did not hurt a child. | ||
| My brother is paranoid schizophrenic. | ||
| He's my adopted brother. | ||
| Born addicted to drugs, alcohol. | ||
| We adopted him. | ||
| Come from a good Catholic family. | ||
| He had a good life. | ||
| He met a girl who was abusing her own kid. | ||
| He didn't say anything. | ||
| He got caught up in the mess. | ||
| They threatened him with 125 years. | ||
| Paranoid schizophrenic. | ||
| No medication. | ||
| Held him for three days without food or water. | ||
| Said you're gonna do 125 years or sign this paper. | ||
| He signed a contract signed a plea. | ||
| He got 15 years in jail I watched my mother and father Break in half. | ||
| I said, I have to do something. | ||
| I said, I'm going to become a lawyer, try to get you out. | ||
| By the time I became an attorney, my brother was getting out like the same month. | ||
| I wasn't able to help him, but wrongful conviction work is a passion of mine. | ||
| So when I looked at the evidence against Andrew and Tristan, and I knew that they were being incarcerated wrongfully and wrongfully persecuted, not for what they did, because of who, what they believe and what they say. | ||
| I said, I have to get involved in this case. | ||
| I have to do something for them because so much is at stake. | ||
| So for me legally match made in heaven. | ||
| So do you think most of this case, like, obviously you are litigating, you're in the courtroom, you're filing all kinds of motions and so forth, but do you think a large part of this case is sort of rehabilitating their public image? | ||
| Because there are a lot of people who look at the Tate brothers and say, like, yeah, I guess you inspire young men, but do you inspire them to do the right thing? | ||
| You know, you've got lots of kids and lots of, like, you're not necessarily a traditional conservative man. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So yes, part of my job, part of my duty is to restore the reputation in the court of law and in the court of public opinion. | ||
| But nobody does it better for them than those two guys right there. | ||
| They will flat out say, look, what I said 10 years ago, that shit was wild. | ||
| I should have never said it. | ||
| I should not have said that. | ||
| But I've changed today. | ||
| Andrew's a devout Muslim. | ||
| Christian is a devout Romanian Christian, right? | ||
| Orthodox Christian. | ||
| They take their faith seriously at this point. | ||
| Do they still have views that are different than my views? | ||
| Of course, but to each their own. | ||
| They're allowed to believe whatever they want to believe. | ||
| But are they able enough? | ||
| Are they present enough? | ||
| Are they developed enough to look back at some of the things that they said and said, I got that wrong. | ||
| This is where I've changed. | ||
| This is why I've changed. | ||
| And this is my message going forward. | ||
| Yes, and because they had that type of growth and because I had changed from the man I was when I was a teenager to the man I am today, that's all you need to do for me. | ||
| I'm not God, right? | ||
| They're giving it their best and I think that their best is pretty damn good and I'm happy to be defending them. | ||

| TokenBlackGuy says, howdy people! | ||
| Tim, I want to thank you and the TimCast team for everything you do. | ||
| You've expanded my political views so much. | ||
| Keep making great content and never give up the fight. | ||
| Really do appreciate your support. | ||
| Shinich Wilder says, if Raymond is on, you are welcome for the video. | ||
| It was fun to make. | ||
| If he is not, boo, we want Raymond. | ||
| Well, he's not here. | ||
| He might be somewhere. | ||
| All right. | ||
| What have we here? | ||
| Man of Histories says, howdy y'all from Texas. | ||
| Did you see the recent story about Kamala Harris and her bad reputation regarding her handling of sex crimes? | ||
| My message to Ian and X recently, love the show. | ||
| Gen Z. Interesting. | ||
| I have not. | ||
| Have you heard that Libby? | ||
| No, I have not heard about that. | ||
| I saw the Jon Stewart thing where he was like, did you see the Jon Stewart clip where he ragged on the DNC? | ||
| I love the Jon Stewart clip. | ||
| They had somebody who prosecuted sex crimes and then, and it's a picture of Bill Clinton, he's like, ooh, he's like so much for that booking. | ||
| I liked it when he was talking about how they were criticizing J.D. | ||
| Vance for making good and going to Yale and literally everybody on stage went to Yale or Harvard or something like that. | ||
| Joy Reid went to Harvard. | ||
| It's just not OK when he does it. | ||
| It's just not OK when you grow up, go to Yale, make good and come home and try and do right by your community. | ||
| That's against the rules for the Democrat. | ||
| If you leave the Ivy League a conservative, you are evil. | ||
| You are wrong. | ||
| You're just wrong. | ||
| That cult mentality. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right. | ||
| Kyle says, I'm very excited to see Tulsi endorse DJT. | ||
| I believe she'll be a strong addition to his cabinet in 24. | ||
| I even named one of my cats Tulsi because she was the first Dem I would have voted for back in 20. | ||
| If Trump's got Tulsi and RFK Jr. | ||
| in cabinet positions, I don't see how he loses. | ||
| He's basically telling all the disaffected Democrats, your best bet's right here. | ||
| What are you gonna do? | ||
| The VEC would be great too. | ||
| Oh yeah, he's gotta. | ||
| The VEC's already on board, yeah. | ||
| The VEC's like the smartest guy in politics right now. | ||
| You know what I thought was really cool, and it happened after Vivek and Trump started hanging out, is Trump started going on all YouTube shows that he was asked on, started doing interviews with smaller channels and stuff, and I thought that was great. | ||
| That was something Vivek did that I really endorsed. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Species with Amnesia says the Foo Fighters story is a real heartbreak. | ||
| They became my favorite band after seeing them live last summer. | ||
| That's okay, I'll keep listening to that garbage. | ||
| Hear, hear! | ||
| I've been listening to the Foo Fighters since I was a little kid. | ||
| So I've known how to play Everlong since I was probably 12. | ||
| And I've known how to play My Hero, Monkey Wrench. | ||
| I mean, I can probably just go through the list of all the songs. | ||
| I can play all of them. | ||
| For most of them I haven't played in a long time, but Everlong is a song I will never forget how to play. | ||
| I can play that one no matter what, no matter when. | ||
| Golden Fleece Game says the Foo in Foo Fighters stands for freedom of opinion. | ||
| Haha. | ||
| I thought it was like Kung Fu Fighters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| No, that's F-U. | ||
| I know, but I thought it was just, you know, being cute. | ||
| Flooded Timber Farm says, will y'all be at AmFest again this year? | ||
| If they invite us. | ||
| It was really difficult to do last year, and we really respect and appreciate everything they did to get us out and get us on stage, but it's expensive and difficult to move our studio for a week, especially to Arizona. | ||
| However, if they would be interested, then we absolutely would love to do it. | ||
| That would be good fun. | ||
| Yeah, it's a fun, it's a good time, AmFest. | ||
| Yeah, good fun. | ||
| Uh, Waffle says, Tim, is that your dad in the guest chair? | ||
| Wow, he must be so proud of you. | ||
| Indeed, it's not. | ||
| Uh, my dad did just visit. | ||
| He was just here, uh, last week, though. | ||
| Or two weeks ago. | ||
| We were hanging out. | ||
| Not in the guest chair, though. | ||
| Let's grab some more superchats. | ||
| Frederick Borman says, speaking about censorship, six years ago, Russian libertarians defended the telegram in Russia through a big political campaign. | ||
| Now we are trying to repeat on a global level to free Durov. | ||
| Where can we contact you to speak with you on this topic? | ||
| Me? | ||
| I don't know what I could do in that, but you could always message Ian Crossland on X. He is the most accessible member of the crew, and he regularly interacts with people, and he's the best for relaying information. | ||
| He loves talking to people and tweeting at people and, you know, engaging. | ||
| Greg Dubia says, I'm a pro-life person, but I'm happy that it is left to the states. | ||
| We need to change the culture. | ||
| Also, it is easier to change state laws than federal laws. | ||
| Us pro-lifers need to play the long game. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| This posturing they're doing where they're saying, give us 100% of everything right now or else, it sounds like they're sabotaging Trump on purpose. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Also, do you not know what Kamala Harris wants to do? | ||
| I mean, Trump's not perfect, but she's really, really bad if this is your main issue. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| You know, the concept of the lesser of two evils is which one of these people is going to do more evil in the world if they get in, right? | ||
| Obviously it's Kamala Harris. | ||
| It's like, imagine, you know, you wanted to go to the beach and you look at your car and you're like, ugh. | ||
| But I'm not going to be in L.A. | ||
| in an hour, so what's the point of even trying to drive somewhere? | ||
| It's like, what? | ||
| If you want to go somewhere, it takes a long time to get there. | ||
| This idea that you want to get from Chicago to L.A. | ||
| in 20 minutes is stupid. | ||
| I could understand this messaging if we were in the primaries, you know? | ||
| Like, if you're like, of all these Republicans, whatever. | ||
| I don't know if you guys know, but we're actually very close to the election. | ||
| We have our candidate. | ||
| We elected him fairly unlike Harris. | ||
| When my son and I do the thing, what superpower would you most like to have? | ||
| Mine is always teleportation. | ||
| That's a solid one. | ||
| It's a good one, yeah. | ||
| It wouldn't work. | ||
| No, of course it wouldn't work. | ||
| But the Earth is moving too. | ||
| Sure, but it's a fantasy idea. | ||
| I mean, it's not like, like no superpower would work. | ||
| There's no such thing as superpowers. | ||
| So you may as well go all in on your imagination. | ||
| But then just like, you know, combine them all. | ||
| If you're gonna fantasize about having a power, just give yourself all of them. | ||
| Sure, but teleportation is the best one. | ||
| To that are flying. | ||
| Wormhole teleportation. | ||
| I think flying is better. | ||
| Well, flying is great, but it would take a while. | ||
| I mean, it would still take time to get from, like, New York to London. | ||
| It's not about flying from New York to London. | ||
| It's about being able to move around cities really, really easily. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And you can go rock climbing with no fear or worries. | ||
| Might take the fun out of it. | ||
| Yeah, but you could do tele... I don't... First of all, I'm never going to go rock climbing. | ||
| I'm not... Okay, look, listen. | ||
| If you... You can still... Like, teleportation would make it easy to move around cities, too. | ||
| If you fell from a great height, and then you reach terminal velocity, you're just gonna keep teleporting back being like, well, I'm trapped because, you know, you'd have to like, I guess you could teleport to the others to Australia. | ||
| And then you'd be moving in the same direction and then reverse. | ||
| And then once your speed normalizes, you teleport to the ground and land on the ground safely. | ||
| Flying is better. | ||
| Flying still takes a long time. | ||
| I mean, I can think of multiple instances where teleportation would be really dreamy. | ||
| It'd be like, oh, I would like to be, you know, in Florida right now just for the next couple hours. | ||
| And you, like, get there and pop back. | ||
| It would take a lot longer to fly there. | ||
| What about time travel? | ||
| Plus you'd have to carry your suitcases. | ||
| What about freezing time? | ||
| You could like stop time. | ||
| Freezing time is good. | ||
| You remember that sitcom with Evie and she could like, nobody remembers this but me, but it was like she would freeze time by doing this. | ||
| Someone out there remembers this. | ||
| I know. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can we add Libby right now? | |
| Perhaps such a show was dreamt up by you. | ||
| It was not dreamt up, and she could freeze time, and then she could go around and fix stuff while time was frozen. | ||
| Her dad was an alien, and her aunt or something, I forget who she lived with, but I'm mixing it up. | ||
| It's called Out of This World? | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Out of This World. | ||
| You looked it up? | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| How about you have the ability- And then there's Small Wonder. | ||
| I would watch all of those on repeat. | ||
| What if you had telekinesis? | ||
| You could also turn into liquid, but when you got anxious, you'd glow orange. | ||
| I don't want any of that. | ||
| None of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And everybody knows that reference, I wonder. | ||
| It's a BuzzFeed article, 10 Things You Might Not Remember About Out of This World. | ||
| I'm gonna send it to you now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey! | |
| It's Evie, right? | ||
| Wasn't it Evie? | ||
| Yeah, that's her name. | ||
| Or I think it's when you get embarrassed you glow orange? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What is that from? | ||
| I'm gonna wait for the chat to figure it out. | ||
| Alex Mack. | ||
| Yep, they got it. | ||
| What is this, The Secret World of Alex Mack on Nickelodeon? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was just reading an article that said that it got a 15 and up rating in the UK because there's an episode where a kid hides in a washing machine and they were worried that little kids would watch it. | ||
| And go die in the washing machine. | ||
| Everyone thinks kids are stupider than they are. | ||
| You know. | ||
| There was a kid who ate a Tide Pod. | ||
| So the funny thing is the whole Tide Pod eating thing was not real. | ||
| Nobody was eating Tide Pods. | ||
| They were joking about eating Tide Pods and then one kid as a joke put it in his mouth But he did not realize that saliva will dissolve the outer layer. | ||
| And so it popped in his mouth. | ||
| And then he immediately aspirated. | ||
| So it popped and it went in his lungs and it burned and really messed him up and caused severe tissue damage. | ||
| And he's probably messed up for life now. | ||
| Yeah, that'll do it. | ||
| Do not put that stuff in your mouth. | ||
| No, that's ridiculous. | ||
| Yeah, it's not a not a good move. | ||
| All right, Matt says what happened to the Mark Z versus Elon Musk fight? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| What did happen to that? | ||
| Didn't Elon Musk say he hurt his back or something and then the whole thing they just decided not to do it? | ||
| You want to do it at the Coliseum. | ||
| Yeah, you want to do it at the Coliseum. | ||
| He had like, Kamala Leverle. | ||
| Yeah, I was sort of wondering if Elon Musk was like, this seems impossible. | ||
| If this scenario happens, then I'll do it. | ||
| I think the real issue was shareholders for the various companies he worked for said, even if you're doing a goofy sparring match that's kind of for fun, if you get hurt, it's going to tank the value. | ||
| Even doing the fight is going to take the value because people are going to panic. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| Elon was saying that it was actually meant to be a friendly, goofy, sparring thing, but Zuckerberg was like, no! | ||
| Let's go! | ||
| I'm gonna mess you up! | ||
| And then the adults got involved. | ||
| Epic Toad Rage says, did you see the decree from Russia that states that those who oppose destructive neoliberal ideological agenda in their home country can seek humanitarian support from the Russian authorities by applying for a temporary residence permit? | ||
| We did. | ||
| We covered it on the show. | ||
| Louis, Louis, is that, or is that Louise? | ||
| Louise Pelly. | ||
| While Gen Z, uh, Gen Z's feel like they'll never afford a family or buy a home, Oregon is using our tax dollars to give non-citizens $30,000 for down payments on homes. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Hacienda Community Development Corp. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| California's trying to do that now too, right? | ||
| Yeah, but I think California's going with $150,000. | ||
| Woo-wee! | ||
| Dang! | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That, my down payment wasn't even that much. | ||
| All right, let's go. | ||
| The Real Blue Juice says Elon Musk is not the CEO of X.com, so who will be arrested? | ||
| Yaccarino? | ||
| Yeah, maybe Ms. | ||
| Lindy Yaccarino. | ||
| I think she seems pretty interesting. | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| Trump Loves You says, YouTube is restricting your channel. | ||
| The only Tim Cast IRL videos that are being suggested to me are from years ago with Adam and the UFO in the thumbnail. | ||
| This started a month ago. | ||
| It's censorship without blocking your channel. | ||
| Or they want you to watch the classics and learn about what happened back in 2020. | ||
| The UFO's still here, by the way. | ||
| It's sitting right there. | ||
| It's in my shot every single time. | ||
| The UFO. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let's grab some more Super Chits. | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| Here's a big one. | ||
| Lance says, my family needs help covering my father's funeral costs. | ||
| He was a Vietnam vet who passed away from Agent Orange exposure. | ||
| He was a loving father and husband. | ||
| Search GoFundMe help Bobby L. Jones final tribute to support us. | ||
| The organizer is my brother, Alfred. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Sad to hear it, man. | ||
| Sad to hear it. | ||
| Best of luck, though. | ||
| Mad Max says Kamala's running a campaign of hope and joy. | ||
| She hopes we'll forget everything she's done to damage this country and she'll joyfully do even worse if she wins. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Haha! | |
| How's it going? | ||
| What's that? | ||
| California's doing 150k? | ||
| Yeah, I don't remember the full story, but that's what the headline said. | ||
| I guess considering houses in California are expensive. | ||
| But if you go into the middle of nowhere, you can get a way cheaper house than that. | ||
| Well, and that's the thing, too. | ||
| We were talking about this the other day. | ||
| Why are you entitled to buy a house just wherever you want? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, go find one you can afford. | ||
| Bill Hoekstra says, Justice League plus Elon Musk. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, and Trump. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So, okay, well, it's actually pretty easy. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard is Wonder Woman. | ||
| That's pretty obvious. | ||
| Donald Trump is Superman. | ||
| Easy. | ||
| Elon Musk is, of course, Batman. | ||
| And that would make RFK Jr. | ||
| Martian Manhunter. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Who are we missing? | ||
| Flash and Green Lantern. | ||
| They'll be named soon. | ||
| Who's Vivek? | ||
| Do we have Vivek in there? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I guess he would be the Flash. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because he is quick and he talks fast. | ||
| No, he's not Flash. | ||
| You don't think so? | ||
| No, Vivek's too smart. | ||
| Would he be Green Lantern? | ||
| You know, yeah. | ||
| Actually, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| I don't know, actually. | ||
| I think Vivek is more of a Mr. Terrific, but he's not a big Justice League player. | ||
| You know, he's not one of the OGs. | ||
| It's like Green Lantern and Flash. | ||
| Green Lantern probably makes more sense, but Lantern's a military guy. | ||
| He's like a Marine. | ||
| They're all, they're like Air Force or Marines and they get chosen to join the Lantern Corps. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| Flash. | ||
| Yeah, but Flash is a goofball. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's a, he's a wacky dude, but he's a scientist too. | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
| I mean, maybe. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| I mean, Vivek seems like he probably has a good sense of humor. | ||
| Aquaman. | ||
| That's a true point. | ||
| Aquaman is an original Justice League guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| J.D. | ||
| Vance can be The Flash. | ||
| Cyborg. | ||
| Yeah, Cyborg's a character. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Alfred. | ||
| Viveca's Alfred. | ||
| If you do like the expanded Justice League, then you get everybody and you can just basically, there's probably literally a Vivek in the Justice League, I don't know. | ||
| All right, let's go. | ||
| Jeremy B says Trump should just stick to the existing debate terms. | ||
| She will back out. | ||
| ABC would just lob softballs to her anyway and not make her defend her record. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Perhaps. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Humble Beginnings says many new voters who were not registered Republicans came out in 2016 and 2020 to vote for Trump. | ||
| Not Republicans, just millions of Americans sick of the evil government who does nothing good for them. | ||
| Unity Party is right. | ||
| Yeah, Trump is trying to get moderates. | ||
| It's like if you're pro-life, you have no choice. | ||
| You're voting for Trump, and he knows it. | ||
| This idea that you're going to try and sabotage Trump's victory because he's not giving you 100% of everything you want is just ludicrous. | ||
| Well, it's like the fringe far left who hate Israel and are super pro-Gaza. | ||
| They're not going to vote for anybody but the Kamala Harris. | ||
| It doesn't matter what she says. | ||
| I think they're not going to vote at all. | ||
| There's a good chance they won't vote, but if they're going to vote, they're not going to vote for Trump. | ||
| You know, look, I'm just, guys, I see the chat. | ||
| People are calling Elon Musk Iron Man. | ||
| Okay, Iron Man is Avengers. | ||
| That's the Marvel universe, not the DC universe, please. | ||
| Okay, you want to go into one of these other comic book universes? | ||
| We can talk Ninja Turtles and Krang or whatever you want, but we're not going there. | ||
| We're talking DC, okay? | ||
| Yeah, you remember Krang? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do. | |
| There's a crossover with Ninja Turtles and Batman where Krang, I guess, accidentally transports Shredder and the Turtles to Gotham City. | ||
| And then, you know, the Ninja Turtles team up with Batman. | ||
| Did you see after Steve Bannon was sentenced and was getting sent off to jail, a lot of people posted pictures of Bannon as Splinter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I saw that. | |
| I will add this. | ||
| I own an original graded copy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic. | ||
| Oh, no way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, uh, originally they didn't have different colored bandanas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, no. | |
| And the whole thing... What's the color? | ||
| They were all black. | ||
| Just all black? | ||
| Because it was black and white. | ||
| And, uh, also, it is a parody of Daredevil. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So the gag was in Daredevil, the kid gets, uh, truck crashes and spills chemicals on his eyes, blinding him. | ||
| And then the bad guys in Daredevil are called the Hand. | ||
| And he's, his master is Stick. | ||
| Stick teaches him. | ||
| Oh, and that's why it's the Foot. | ||
| And the Foot and Splinter. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And, uh, the chemicals that splashed him leaked into the sewer and landed on turtles. | ||
| Cause turtles were in the sewer for some reason, which makes no sense, but you know, whatever, I guess. | ||
| Well, turtles end up in the sewer when, you know, you buy turtles in Chinatown, and then your parents are like, you can't keep those. | ||
| I think, actually, that was the story, that some kid bought turtles and then dumped them in a sewer or something, which is, like, horrible, but, I don't know, whatever. | ||
| Who's the best turtle? | ||
| Oh, I don't know. | ||
| Michelangelo's skateboards, I guess, so, you know, but he's kind of dumb. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Although, like, originally they were all the same. | ||
| They, like, there was very little difference between them. | ||
| They were just four ninja turtles. | ||
| And pizza. | ||
| You can't sell as many toys that way. | ||
| You need them all to have different color bandanas and different personalities. | ||
| Well, then, even with the newer iterations, they've changed their sizes, too. | ||
| Because then they just had different color bandanas to tell them apart. | ||
| But now, in, like, the movies, like, Raphael's huge. | ||
| You know, Donatello's a nerd. | ||
| He was always nerdy, though, I guess. | ||
| I think I was identified more with Raphael. | ||
| Yeah, but he was a hothead. | ||
| Yeah, well. | ||
| Alright, anyway. | ||
| What are people saying? | ||
| Michelangelo. | ||
| Donatello. | ||
| Donatello. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| Alright, Elon is Sensei Splinter. | ||
| Now that we're comparing Trump's team to the Ninja Turtles, which turtle is Trump, Leonardo? | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| Ah, I think he's Raphael. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Raymond G. Stanley Jr. | ||
| says, Tim, we're freaking forward in the line on so many things. | ||
| These whiny babies are fake or they're not worth an ish. | ||
| If we won't charge forward, we're done. | ||
| Yeah, it's the battlefield in front of us. | ||
| You can't just skip it, right? | ||
| They want to go from point A to Z overnight. | ||
| You can't do it. | ||
| You got to win where you can win. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| They either don't understand that Trump is trying to win or they don't care. | ||
| Then don't vote. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| I guess then Kamala will have abortion buses for every city. | ||
| Free ones, just free abortions. | ||
| Free abortions, geez. | ||
| And free vasectomies and also free sex changes. | ||
| She's into free sex changes. | ||
| She pushed that into the prisons in California and bragged about it in the lead up to the 2020 election and how she forced that policy change so that all men who want to be in women's prisons can get free sex changes. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Carlo Magno says, Tim, you are not anti-abortion. | ||
| You're a classical pro-choice Democrat. | ||
| Well, pro-choice today means abortion to the point of birth. | ||
| Abortion for everyone all the time. | ||
| But I'm actually a little bit more conservative than the traditional Democrat position. | ||
| So I do agree with safe, legal, rare, but I believe it should be much more heavily restricted. | ||
| I also believe that logically and under the current law and the interpretation that the Founding Fathers—not Founding Fathers, but— Well, yes. | ||
| Under the interpretation of the Founding Fathers in the original Constitution and the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights, then added with the amendments we got following the Civil War, it seems to me that there is an inevitability that if the law is followed, abortion becomes 100% illegal. | ||
| Completely. | ||
| And that's the 14th Amendment. | ||
| The question for the Supreme Court that needs to be answered—and pro-life groups should be suing over this, but gee, I wonder what they're doing with their money—is, when the 14th Amendment says no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or whatever without due process, does baby involve person? | ||
| And so, The 40th Amendment says all persons born or naturalized in the U.S. | ||
| are U.S. | ||
| citizens for the purpose of a law in a separate closet, then says all persons shall not be deprived. | ||
| We've taken that to mean that tourists from Japan Cannot be illegally searched, have free speech, have all of their constitutional rights. | ||
| We extend our rights to everyone here. | ||
|

|
Right. | |
| As long as you're here in the country, the government is restricted from doing certain things. | ||
| If that is the case, the question for the Supreme Court is, is an unborn baby a person? | ||
| Yes or no? | ||
| The question has to be answered. | ||
| And if the answer is yes, and I think even many blue states agree, that's why a woman who's pregnant who gets like pushed down the stairs by a guy, the guy will get charged with double murder. | ||
| Or a murder for the baby and the woman. | ||
| If the answer is yes, that a baby is a person, then you cannot get an abortion without a judge signing off on it, which effectively ends abortion. | ||
| Indeed, you're right. | ||
| And, you know, for me, again, you know, I'm a Catholic, a Christian, and the first person in the Bible to ever recognize Jesus was an unborn child. | ||
| John the Baptist. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| All right, let's go. | ||
| G says, holy Tim world. | ||
| I normally listen to the podcast, which is very different from the live YouTube feed. | ||
| Keep up the good work, Tim. | ||
| And remember, Kamala owned slaves in California as AG. | ||
| That's, well, she didn't own them. | ||
| But she enslaved people. | ||
| Kamala enslaved people when she was... On behalf of the state of California. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| That's even worse. | ||
| Yeah, it sounds awful, right? | ||
| California remained a slave state until relatively recently, thanks to Kamala Harris. | ||
| Crazy Eye says, Tim, no one is talking about the migrant gang in Aurora, Colorado that took over an apartment complex and are patrolling with guns. | ||
| Oh, I didn't hear that. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| I think it is true, and you have that in hotels in New York City right now as well. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| It's not a good situation. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Terrence Mac says, which Bible verse can we find instruction to pursue the lesser of two evils? | ||
| Never seen that in scripture. | ||
| That's not to say it's not sage advice, just don't say it's biblical because it's not. | ||
| Everything is—all the wisdom in the universe is not contained in the Bible. | ||
| It's just moral teaching, right? | ||
| If you have to choose between two things and one of them is going to cause a greater harm, you choose the one that causes the lesser harm. | ||
| Brandon Romanski says, fun AI simulation. | ||
| Have Grok run two separate simulations. | ||
| Kamala as president for the next hundred years and Trump as president for the next hundred years. | ||
| Observe the difference. | ||
| Actually pretty smart. | ||
| Did you get a fly? | ||
| No, I got a mosquito. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Mosquito? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I haven't got a mosquito bite in years. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I get mosquito bite. | ||
| Like every day I've got one. | ||
| Out here? | ||
| Really? | ||
| Me too. | ||
| You eat a lot of garlic? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Supposedly, garlic and onions make them not want to bite you. | ||
| There's garlic in pretty much everything I cook. | ||
| Like vampire? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nice and Italian of you. | ||
| It's like your body secretes some component from the garlic that when they land, they're like, ooh, and they fly away. | ||
| Do you know the mosquitoes, when they suck your blood, they leave an antibody behind so that other mosquitoes can find you. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like a tracking device? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That sucks. | ||
| They leave antibodies? | ||
| Yeah. | ||

|
Huh. | |
| All I know is one summer, I was getting bit by mosquitoes like crazy, just everywhere. | ||
| I couldn't sleep. | ||
| And I was like, just sleeping under a blanket trying to make it stop. | ||
| And I was like, I gotta buy some mosquito net. | ||
| And then I read on the internet, they said, eat garlic. | ||
| So I literally just took a tablespoon of garlic and just downed it because I love garlic anyway. | ||
| And then bites gone. | ||
| No more mosquito bites. | ||
| I'll have to try it, because I could be in a room full of 50 people, and the guy in the middle of the circle, and they'll come for me. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
