| Donald Trump has ordered the DOJ to fire all remaining Biden U.S. attorneys. | ||
| Prosecutors saying that the government was weaponized against him and it's time to clean house. | ||
| Of course, as per usual, Democrats are freaking out, claiming that Donald Trump has seized the government in a coup and that Elon Musk is the actual president or co-president or whatever. | ||
| How fun. | ||
| In the meantime, as Donald Trump has begun working with Eric Adams to, I don't know, deport people who are here illegally, criminals, Democrats in the state are planning to remove him from office. | ||
| Staging a coup, as it were. | ||
| Things are getting really weird. | ||
| And they have the power to do it. | ||
| The governor can suspend the mayor for 30 days without charge, then present charges, and they don't even need a conviction. | ||
| They can literally just say, we're charging you, and therefore we will remove you as mayor. | ||
| It's pretty nuts. | ||
| And this all stems back in his crazy timeline to Eric Adams defying the Biden government in 2022, resulting in the launch of DOJ investigations against him, then an indictment. | ||
| Then Donald Trump gets in, cuts him a deal. | ||
| Democrats are saying it's a dirty deal and he needs to be removed. | ||
| Man, talk about corruption. | ||
| RFK Jr. has made his announcement as to what he's going after first. | ||
| Very exciting. | ||
| And then, get this, Kash Patel. | ||
| They passed his, he's moved forward, we'll put it like that. | ||
| And they're still putting more roadblocks in front of him, desperately trying to stop him from becoming FBI director. | ||
| That's going to be really interesting. | ||
| And while I have you, before we get started, I'm going to... | ||
| I'll give you an update on our West Virginia stuff. | ||
| West Virginia is a terrible place to do business. | ||
| I strongly recommend you all stay away from it. | ||
| We recently learned that it is illegal to contract individuals 1099 for any job in this state, which is shockingly insane, as sometimes there's a person you want to hire for just like a one-off job. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| They got taxes upon taxes. | ||
| We were just informed today that a guy we contract to do IT and dev work out of Texas, who doesn't even live here, and we're like, hey, we've got a thing on the website that needs to be fixed. | ||
| Can you fix it? | ||
| Employee. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| It's an IT contract. | ||
| We don't do IT services. | ||
| So if we want to hire a plumber to fix our toilet, we've got to hire a plumber? | ||
| They told us that talent contracts are not allowed and that our existing talent, Legit, straight up. | ||
| If somebody wants to appear on a show, it has to be an employee. | ||
| Well, good luck making that happen when talent own their own IP, have agents, managers, and work for a bunch of different companies on specific projects. | ||
| These Uber laws, they're called, are ripping away the right of individuals to work in this country. | ||
| They're currently in 34 states. | ||
| West Virginia has to be one of the worst, I'd imagine, because they outright told us individuals are not legally allowed to work in this state. | ||
| I am not exaggerating. | ||
| Now, if you want to tell me that's not how the law is supposed to work, fine. | ||
| The state will weaponize this law against you if they've got a problem with you. | ||
| I know we've talked about it before, but we've been actively investigating how to get out of the state as fast as we can because of the degree of insanity. | ||
| And a lot of people said, Tim, give the Republican administration an opportunity. | ||
| They are, you know, they're new. | ||
| They're trying. | ||
| This was formerly a Democrat state. | ||
| I hear you. | ||
| I hear you. | ||
| That being said, despite everything going on, we've had politicians reaching out to us, begging us not to leave, apologizing for the problems. | ||
| And still, we get a call. | ||
| And that's fine. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| They're enforcing action against us, claiming we owe taxes on individuals who are clearly contractors, who abided by the law as the law was written, and they're telling us they don't care. | ||
| They want us to pay five figures, high five figures. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Fine. | ||
| You can squeeze as much blood of the turnip as you want, and we'll make sure you never get another penny out of us because this state is broken. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| If the existing administration knew the law was busted, then they could simply say, hey guys, we need to put a pause on this enforcement. | ||
| The idea that individuals aren't allowed to contract is an absurdity and the state can't function that way. | ||
| Instead, they said, tell him he's got to pay it anyway. | ||
| Okay, sure. | ||
| I'll write you a check and then we're going to make sure we dismantle our business and move everything we can out of the state and use whatever force I have in any imaginable way to warn people about what they're doing to us because I am personally offended by this. | ||
| Let me just stress, If there is a musician, if there is a podcaster, and you would like to get a contract with them to make an appearance on your show, you have to hire them as a W2 employee. | ||
| And do you know what they say to you when you offer that? | ||
| They laugh in your face and say, yeah, that's not going to happen. | ||
| And we've lost three people already because of this law. | ||
| So if they don't want us to operate here, so be it. | ||
| I am beyond pissed off about this. | ||
| I feel like I was had by the state. | ||
| The fact that they would still be trying to enforce this. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| It's my fault. | ||
| I take full responsibility. | ||
| I thought West Virginia was better than that. | ||
| Clearly, I was wrong. | ||
| But hey, in the meantime, head over to casprew.com and buy Casper Coffee. | ||
| And support our coffee company, I guess. | ||
| And you can pick up Appalachian Nights. | ||
| Stand Your Grounds. | ||
| We got Colombian. | ||
| Everybody's favorite, Ian's Graphene Dream, which is selling off the shelves like hotcakes. | ||
| And of course, the Green Room Show. | ||
| Guys, you're going to love the Green Room Show. | ||
| Yesterday, Chad Hall of Snake Farm Skateboards. | ||

| And he works for the government currently. | ||
| And he's got some stories for you. | ||
| And this guy is a warrior of warriors. | ||
| And so he was a big fan of Phil. | ||
| So I thought it'd be cool to have them do a sit-down conversation about, you know, what it's like overseas in these active combat situations, listening to heavy metal while you're, you know. | ||
| Let's just, I don't want to say too much because, you know, that stuff. | ||
| I'm ready to go outside the wire. | ||
| Yeah, that stuff can be a little not-so-family-friendly, and it could see, you know, we know what happens in war zones. | ||

|
Yeah. | |
| Hey, what's up, Tim? | ||
| Good to see you. | ||
| I nailed it. | ||
| Yeah, I was going to say, honestly, I was like, yo, you got it, brother. | ||
| That was good stuff. | ||
| I hope I did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| That was good stuff. | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| Well, I am a, I guess, do you say former or current J6-er? | ||
| Where are we at now with that? | ||
| Once a J6-er, always a J6-er. | ||
| Well, we could start off with that because I think a lot of people know, but I'm also an actor. | ||
| 11-month-old father now, which is awesome. | ||
| That's probably the most exciting thing about me. | ||
| Her kid's a good dancer. | ||
| He's a fantastic dancer. | ||
| And he has this move now, I think he got from his mom, that is just the up and down, so that's great. | ||
| I work for people like the actor came out of Hollywood. | ||
| Got canceled because I started getting involved in the Trump rallies in Beverly Hills and all that good stuff and started working with Babylon Bee to make fun of the craziness that we see. | ||
| Then I ran for office in 22, ran for state assembly in Los Angeles, North Hollywood. | ||
| It went pretty well, actually. | ||
| You know, probably the biggest thing I found out was that we don't go around and talk to people as much as we should. | ||
| I found that in the neighborhood that I lived for, I lived nine years until I just recently moved to Tennessee, but in the neighborhood we were, as I walked around and talked to people, about 95% of the people in North Hollywood were Republicans. | ||
| Really? | ||
| And they were like, what? | ||
| You run for office? | ||
| No one ever comes around? | ||
| The left doesn't even come around to the neighborhood. | ||
| They just assume and get the unions basically to get their school boards and everyone to vote for them. | ||
| So it told me, like, hey, we need to get out there. | ||
| I got about 17%, you know, first time running, and I'm like, no one else is running, so, like, might as well put myself in there. | ||
| Because I was doing speeches telling people to go run for local office if you hate what you see. | ||
| And somebody hit me up, and they're like, I'm running for mayor of my small town. | ||
| Are you going to do something? | ||
| And I'm like, I'm just an actor, you know. | ||
| But then you get to a point, like, I can't tell someone else to do something and not be willing to do it myself. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| I did it, and then I ended up being vice chair of LAGLP, largest county in America, so that was fun for a time, and I just saw that we need to, again, we need to message, but we need to get out and actually be bold and not be afraid to talk to people directly. | ||
| Then I got, again, doing stuff with Babylon Bee, then I got hired with Daily Wire and was able to move my family out to Tennessee and got out. | ||
| We made it to Tennessee on Labor Day. | ||
| What a great state. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Good state. | ||
| The first time we were walking our dogs around, the first month we were there, everyone we'd meet, they'd come up and want to talk to us, and they'd end the conversation with, you guys find a church yet? | ||
| Hey, what church you got to? | ||
| You got a church? | ||
| And we were coming from L.A. where it's like, I'm like, just in case Satan tries to put my cross in, but we're over there and everyone's like, come to this church. | ||
| I mean, we've gone to so many different churches. | ||
| People want to help out. | ||
| Did you find a church yet? | ||
| Well, we'll save those questions because we're 10 minutes in. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
| I'm happy to be here. | ||
| Libby's hanging out, obviously. | ||
| I'm Libby Emmons. | ||
| I'm here with the Postmillennial and Humanevents.com. | ||
| Glad to be here with everybody. | ||
| Hello, everybody. | ||
| My name is Phil Labonte. | ||
| I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains. | ||
| I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Here we go from Newsweek. | ||
| Trump orders DOJ to fire all remaining Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The president posted on Truth Social over the past four years. | ||
| The Department of Justice has been politicized like never before. | ||
| Therefore, I have instructed the termination of all remaining Biden-era U.S. attorneys. | ||
| We must clean house immediately and restore confidence. | ||
| America's golden age must have a fair justice system that begins today. | ||
| I'd like to imagine that Donald Trump was taking my advice when I said last week... | ||
| He's got to splinter the intelligence agencies into the wind and reform them because we cannot trust the people who weaponized the government against J6ers and against the president himself. | ||
| I'm kidding, by the way. | ||
| This was always his plan, and I'm glad he's enacting it. | ||
| You're 100% right, man. | ||
| I mean, as someone who's gone through this stuff, and I was talking about it earlier, you know, my court date was the 21st. | ||
| Of January. | ||
| And we asked and we petitioned multiple times to get it just pushed out because we knew Trump was going to do this. | ||
| They wouldn't. | ||
| The judge kept it going, which cost me money, kept pushing, you know, paying for legal fees and all that stuff. | ||
| And instead of being reasonable... | ||
| Literally, the lawyer's like, nope, we're ready to go. | ||
| We want to go ahead and prosecute this guy for four misdemeanors. | ||
| We need to just clean this all up. | ||
| We've had a couple different people that have had different experiences regarding January 6th, and I was wondering, do you feel like you had a fair... | ||
| Fair court hearing and dealing with the prosecution. | ||
| I know that you didn't actually go to trial. | ||
| You were dealing with all that stuff. | ||
| Did you feel like you had a fair treatment or did you feel like the entire system was biased against you? | ||
| I think the entire system was. | ||
| I mean, I got raided in 21. So they raided my home and took all my electronics in 21. I didn't get charged or anything. | ||
| So for two and a half years, I was on a quiet skies list. | ||
| So without being charged, right? | ||
| You're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. | ||
| I'm searched every time at the TSA checkpoint. | ||
| When I go to the gate, six agents are there to check me again. | ||
| Mind you, I hadn't been charged. | ||
| And actually, I was on that list before they raided my house because they raided it in June. | ||
| My first trip in 21 in April is when they started doing this. | ||
| And then they didn't arrest me until... | ||
| It was November 30th of 23, coming back from the Lady Ballers premiere for Daily Wire, and they arrested me on a tarmac at Burbank Airport, and they ripped me away from my wife. | ||
| I mean, it came for age, and it came like I was like El Chapo. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| Then you go into the court case, and you start to go through that process, and thank God that people have been really generous, because I was not guilty, but in the long run, it's cost me close to $180. | ||
| Well, that's a big part of what they were... | ||
| They were doing. | ||
| And that's something that Trump said when he issued the pardon was that the people who have gone through this have already been broken. | ||
| They've already been financially ruined. | ||
| They've already been punished through this legal process. | ||
| That's why I asked if you felt like the system had treated you fairly or not because of the fact that essentially it was... | ||
| It seemed like it was kind of common knowledge that the punishment or the process was the punishment, and that's something that you hear frequently surrounding this topic, and I wondered your experience. | ||
| Like I said to you earlier, we told the judge, we're like, look, hey, he's going to do this. | ||
| Can we just push it out and just kind of leave it alone until April, right? | ||
| She said, no, nothing's official yet, meaning that I would have to fly myself, my wife, and my child out to D.C. We had to get a place. | ||
| We had to rent a car. | ||
| All these things during inauguration. | ||
| We get that. | ||
| So everything's up. | ||
| So that's part of knowing that's what we're going to do. | ||
| And at 9 a.m. | ||
| on the 21st, they're like, all right, case dismissed. | ||
| And you're like, I could not afford to not show up. | ||
| There's a viral clip. | ||
| I think it's Chris Matthews. | ||
| And he's saying, look at what Trump does when he gets in. | ||
| He pardons all of the insurrectionists or whatever, showing us whose side he's on. | ||
| And I'm just sitting here thinking like, Trump is effectively a J6-er himself. | ||
| They were trying to put him in prison the whole time. | ||
| They tried to put him in prison again. | ||
| And they were using everything that happened on J6 to call him a traitor who committed sedition and insurrection so they could destroy his life, raid his home. | ||
| So when he went to pardon the J6-ers, I don't think he was really – it wasn't from an outside perspective. | ||
| It was literally from a, these people attacked us. | ||
| And so now he's firing them all. | ||
| Well, you know, let me give you an example because I know you've been swatted. | ||
| Yeah, like 13, 15 times. | ||
| So you can relate to, honestly, guys, the amount of just abuse that it feels like when you have your government kicking your front door. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We never had any doors get kicked in. | ||
| Just had people showing up in that way, but they came in. | ||
| So heavy. | ||
| 15 agents with guns, ARs, in my face. | ||
| In my three and six-year-old godson's face. | ||
| That's so crazy. | ||
| For 71 seconds in a doorway. | ||
| And so Trump knows what that's like because they went through his wife's underwear drawer. | ||
| And she's still mad about it. | ||
| I think people don't... | ||
| You don't see the rage Trump has and the anger. | ||
| He's tweeted about it and he said these people went to my home. | ||
| But... | ||
| You make a great point about what it's like when they show up to your house. | ||
| Donald Trump, let's talk about his classified documents. | ||
| Trump had a bunch of boxes of knickknacks, like daily briefings from when he was president that he probably didn't think twice about. | ||
| They were scattered about his home in Mar-a-Lago, and the papers were not even properly... | ||
| Organized. | ||
| Yeah, they weren't... | ||
| What's the word? | ||
| Coalated. | ||
| Coalated, right. | ||
| That's exactly the word. | ||
| I used to work in an office. | ||
| That's a good word. | ||
| That's an office word. | ||
| Page one was there, and page seven was there. | ||
| The feds came in, collected them all, put them on the floor, and then took their own handmade confidentiality forms and put them on top and took a picture, staging the evidence. | ||
| Joe Biden, meanwhile, admitted he retained classified information illegally for the purpose of writing a book to make money. | ||
| And kept it in multiple offices and his garage. | ||
| And so then Donald Trump, minding his own business, has law enforcement, FBI raid his home, his wife's underwear drawer, his son, his son's room. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| I don't think we've yet begun to see the rage that is Donald Trump's revenge and retribution. | ||
| Well, it's interesting, this firing of all of these attorneys, because we recently saw seven attorneys, seven prosecutors from the Southern District Court of New York resign over the dropping of the Adams indictment, which I thought was really interesting and definitely precedes something like this, where he's like, if everyone's just going to be against what we do in the Department of Justice, then you can all just go home. | ||
| I think actually some of these people who are resigning, I think that's the precursor to something else that's coming. | ||
| Yeah, that's an interesting point. | ||
| They do think that Adams is guilty. | ||
| They do think they had enough evidence for him. | ||
| Well, I think... | ||
| So when the Adams stuff was coming out... | ||
| The turkey stuff? | ||
| People were pointing out that it was like marginal stuff you often see from a lot of politicians. | ||
| And it was kind of just like, really? | ||
| I gotta tell you. | ||
| There are stories that I know of where the FBI outright said a million dollars doesn't move the needle. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| Well, think about it. | ||
| You've got criminal cartels dealing trafficking to the tunes of a billion dollar industries. | ||
| You've got hundreds of millions of dollars being trapped across the border every year. | ||
| Does it really make sense the FBI is going to be like, what are we dealing with here? | ||
| What was like a hundred grand or something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And so while there is a question of whether or not we tolerate these kinds of things, it really did look selective. | ||
| Yeah, it was. | ||
| Of course it was. | ||
| The Adams thing? | ||
| Well, he was on his way. | ||
| You mentioned 2022 when he started criticizing the Biden administration. | ||
| He was on his way to D.C. to meet with other blue city mayors to talk to Biden about immigration and the border crisis. | ||
| And like somewhere in Delaware or whatever, he had to turn around and go back to New York because one of his aides' homes got raided in Brooklyn. | ||
| And then Biden was able to hold the joint roundtable meeting with those blue city mayors all going, Biden's working really hard. | ||
| He really cares about us, you guys. | ||
| He's doing his best he can. | ||
| I call it evil. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a good word for it. | |
| That's a great word for it. | ||
| I mean, he was the only guy that was going to actually stand up. | ||
| He was the only one. | ||
| I mean, who else was going to do it? | ||
| You know? | ||
| Well, apparently nobody. | ||
| Nobody. | ||
| It just seems like he brokered a deal with Trump, and that's fine. | ||
| That happens all the time. | ||
| Well, that's what the DOJ said. | ||
| But what's coming is these people who have resigned, these people who have just been fired, To me, I'm saying there's something coming for them. | ||
| There's something coming for these people who are running right now. | ||
| What do you mean, coming for them? | ||
| Did they do everything in an up-and-up, just like the J6 attorneys? | ||
| No. | ||
| I didn't even go to jail. | ||
| Yep, exactly. | ||
| There's a lot of these judges who are the same way. | ||
| Where these individuals knew that they were acting in violation of the law, let me just give you an example. | ||
| There was a story today that a CBP agent was arrested for allegedly being a member of the cartels. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And my point was, whenever we talk about law enforcement, there is a conservative bias. | ||
| I'm not saying everybody on the right is a conservative, to believe the cop was doing nothing wrong. | ||
| That is, we know from Dr. Phil that CBP agents were facilitating child trafficking, that children were coming across the border with numbers on their arms. | ||
| They'd look at the number, call, knew it was a child slaver, and they'd say, send them anyway. | ||
| The presumption, the bias in the mind of the right was... | ||
| These are guys who don't want to do this, but Biden's making them do it. | ||
| They never stop to consider that some of these guys might literally be cartel members who infiltrated government. | ||
| So my point is, do not presume. | ||
| These FBI agents, because we had a guy on last week who said there's a lot of good patriots serving, and they had bad administrative leadership. | ||
| Stop assuming that. | ||
| Some of these guys might be literal activists who applied for the express purpose of being able to weaponize the DOJ against political ideology, and they're literally sitting behind the stage, behind the scenes, going, we gotta get Trump supporters arrested so we can stop Trump from winning. | ||
| Oh yeah, and I know that's what happened. | ||
| When I got arrested on the 30th... | ||
| And we're driving in a car. | ||
| I'm like, you guys know where I live. | ||
| You guys could have called me. | ||
| We could have had a conversation. | ||
| The agent literally said to me, well, we didn't want you to be prepared. | ||
| So they came in force so that I wouldn't be prepared. | ||
| And they're getting bonuses for every time they do these things. | ||
| So they're not doing a raid and it's just part of their salary. | ||
| Bonus to do the raid. | ||
| They did a bonus for showing up on that tarmac. | ||
| They're getting paid extra to do these things. | ||
| To torment Americans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| So they deserve everything that's coming for them. | ||
| This thing with the U.S. attorneys also, it's not unprecedented. | ||
| Bill Clinton fired 93 U.S. attorneys when he came into office. | ||
| It's sort of a presidential prerogative. | ||
| Like, why would you want a bunch of attorneys who have completely different priorities from your Justice Department? | ||
| Especially considering the Donald Trump administration saw what the... | ||
| What he went up against. | ||
| They remember what they went up against in his first administration. | ||
| I know that this is something that has probably been repeated ad nauseum, but his being out of office for four years... | ||
| It was probably the best thing that's happened to the country in God knows how long. | ||
| Well, because he had time to ruminate. | ||
| Yeah, well, not only did he have time to ruminate and really actually kind of talk to people and figure out what happened, but he also saw what the government, you know, all the things that they did to him, because he thought that all the things that they did to him, he saw, you know, all of it, and he was like, I can't believe this, because he thought that he was going to be treated like other presidents. | ||
| He thought that once I get elected, or now that I'm elected, if I just play ball with them and I, you know, use the guys that they want, then they'll treat me. | ||
| Eventually they'll come around. | ||
| That clearly isn't him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, no. | |
| I mean, Joe Biden stripped him of his security clearance, and then everybody, and everyone was like, well, he doesn't have a need for that. | ||
| And then everyone kind of freaked out when Trump was like, you know what? | ||
| We're stripping you of your security clearance, you old man. | ||
| I want to jump to this next story, but I just have to point this out for no reason, that I've been saying ruminate a bit for the past couple of weeks, and then you said it. | ||
| And then I just thought about it, and I'm like, I don't actually know the root of ruminate. | ||
| It means to chew on cud. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| So it's a reference to cows and goats just sitting there chewing on it for a long period of time. | ||
| Well, there's worse things you can be. | ||
| So when we say, you know, he ruminated... | ||
| He was chewing on... | ||
| It's just funny that there's... | ||
| We were an agrarian society for a while. | ||
| That's right, right. | ||
| Words were tossed around like... | ||
| Somebody saw the goat sitting there just chewing on cud. | ||
| And then use that as an analogy for thinking deeply and sitting there staring off in the distance. | ||
| That's what it looks like they're doing if you actually just look at a cow. | ||
| Philosophy. | ||
| He's like, man, how big is that moon really? | ||
| That goat is sitting there chewing the cud going, man, how many of these FBI agents need to go to prison? | ||
| Here's the story from Politico. | ||
| Hochul weighing whether to remove Eric Adams as mayor. | ||
| I'm going to go as quickly as I can for this story with you guys. | ||
| In 2022, Eric Adams publicly broke from the Biden administration shortly after he got elected in New York, upset over how they were handling immigration. | ||
| Almost immediately, the DOJ started launching investigations into Eric Adams. | ||
| They later raided the home of his staff and employees who did nothing wrong, and they started resigning. | ||
| Then, in September of 24, they filed criminal charges against him. | ||
| Donald Trump ends up winning and then goes to cut a deal with Eric Adams. | ||
| Basically, his administration said, you let us operate ICE in Rikers once again because they used to do that all the time. | ||
| There was an office for ICE at Rikers Island. | ||
| And we're going to drop these charges. | ||
| Eric Adams says, OK, I will cooperate. | ||
| The Democrats then said, Jamie Raskin, for instance, it's a corrupt deal to drop his criminal charges to work with Trump in violation of their sanctuary laws. | ||
| Kathy Hochul, as the governor, does have the ability to remove Eric Adams for 30 days without cause. | ||
| She can just cite charges pending. | ||
| We're going to suspend him. | ||
| And then they can levy charges against him at the state level. | ||
| And all is required, all that is required is that he defend himself in a hearing, whether convicted or found guilty. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| They say, you're charged with this. | ||
| He says, well, I didn't. | ||
| They say, okay, well, we had the hearing. | ||
| You're out. | ||
| He doesn't even have to be convicted, according to the New York City Charter. | ||
| I will say this. | ||
| It is very obvious. | ||
| Eric Adams was only investigated and charges were only brought because he was defying the Biden administration on immigration, not even completely, because we did criticize him a bit because he still was giving into some of Eric Adams policies, taking money to set up these luxury hotels and things like this. | ||
| Now that he's cooperating with the Trump DOJ, which is, let me just tell you guys, completely routine. | ||
| Every single day. | ||
| Every single day, a prosecutor will go to an alleged criminal under indictment and say, we will drop the charges if you do this for us. | ||
| Every day that happens. | ||
| Okay, so they go to the mayor and say, you're a man with a lot of power in the city, we're going to drop these charges, but we want ICE enforcement. | ||
| He says, fine deal. | ||
| The Democrats are now intervening to stop immigration enforcement, and it's fairly obvious why. | ||
| Democrats get... | ||
| They boost their electoral college vote count and their congressional seats by protecting illegal immigrants. | ||
| That is the scandal we are currently looking at. | ||
| Boy, if this is not a coup, I don't know what is. | ||
| Well, the other thing, too, is that one of the high court in New York right now is weighing a case on whether or not some 800,000. | ||
| Non-citizens are allowed to vote in local elections, and the city council approved that. | ||
| They approved that. | ||
| They're in favor of it because they think that they're going to get all of those votes for the Democrats, which they likely will get. | ||
| I mean, in a place that they don't need to have more Democrats voting, and they're like, oh, well, we need to go ahead and make illegal immigrants. | ||
| But it's not just that, though, brother. | ||
| If we're seeing everything with USAID... It's where you can funnel more money. | ||
| That's what it really comes down to. | ||
| Well, it's congressional seats. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And I think that actually what it comes down to, I don't think they're coming after him just because he spoke out and he made a deal with Trump to say, like, go into the prisons. | ||
| He knows where the bodies are buried. | ||
| He knows how things have worked and what... | ||
| He's been in the meetings with Hochul and be like, let's do this and do that and do this and do that. | ||
| That's what I believe they're really afraid of because... | ||
| Like, you see a guy like Brandon Johnson in Chicago. | ||
| He's like, oh, I'm doing the same thing. | ||
| He's going full bore. | ||
| And they're like, we're coming after him. | ||
| The reason why Eric Adams wasn't named in the lawsuit by Pam Bondi, usually you don't name your informant. | ||
| You name everybody else around him, and he's such a big head that can drop a lot of info. | ||
| This is an administrative civil war. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Eric Weinstein, that's his quote. | ||
| I agree with his assessment. | ||
| What we are looking at with what the state Democrats in New York are doing to obstruct immigration enforcement, they're defying the Constitution and federal law for illicit gain. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| I mean, where does this go? | ||
| People are going to get arrested. | ||
| Well, and you know who was in that meeting with Kathy Hochul? | ||
| She had Al Sharpton in there in that meeting. | ||
| He was one of the key people that she had, and he's a lying, race-baiting grifter. | ||
| He has absolutely no business running anything in the city of New York at all. | ||
| He started a race riot. | ||
| He started a race riot. | ||
| He's part of the mouthpiece of the socialist Marxist communists for the last... | ||
| You know, since MLK was killed. | ||
| Yeah, and then Tawana Brawley, like, he has no business being involved in anything. | ||
| So where does this go? | ||
| We saw, I believe, was it Pam Bondi who announced the charges against New York? | ||
| But this is tantamount to a lawsuit. | ||
| I mean, it's effectively a lawsuit. | ||
| It's a civil, isn't it? | ||
| Yeah, but she said charges, and then it's like, yeah, it's a lawsuit against the state or whatever. | ||
| That, I appreciate the sentiment. | ||
| I don't see how that moves the needle. | ||
| No, I want to see obstruction inducement charges. | ||
| And with this move, the federal government is working with the mayor on law enforcement. | ||
| That makes Democrats the bad guys. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| OK, so let me just raise that. | ||
| The Department of Justice has gone to the mayor of New York and said, we want to catch some criminals. | ||
| Will you help us? | ||
| The Democrats responded by saying we will remove that mayor so that he cannot do that. | ||
| So that he can't get people out of the city? | ||
| They are... | ||
| Criminals trying to aid and abet other criminals and illicitly targeting a mayor who is working with the Department of Justice. | ||
| And you saw what Tom Holman said about AOC who came out trying to tell illegal immigrants how to hide from deportation. | ||
| Yeah, pamphlets. | ||
| She's not the only one either. | ||
| There's a lot of elected across the country who are doing this kind of stuff. | ||
| And Ilhan Omar was speaking Somali to people directly to tell them. | ||
| I think it's absolutely egregious that that's what these lawmakers are doing, because what Tom Homan is doing is enforcing the existing law. | ||
| He's not doing anything other than enforcing the existing law. | ||
| And these are the same laws that Biden said weren't strong enough to actually close the border or keep people out or anything. | ||
| Just for quick context, I saw someone ask the question in the chat. | ||
| Inducement, indeed. | ||
| Eight U.S. Code 1324, bringing in and harboring certain aliens in Section A, subsection four, encourages or induces an alien to come, enter or reside in the U.S. knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such such coming to entry or residence is or will be in violation of the law or engaged enter or reside in the U.S. knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such We get it. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| That's encouragement and inducement. | ||
| They are crimes. | ||
| I'll break it down for you. | ||
| Encouragement is likely what we are seeing from these Democrats when they're saying, if you're here illegally, here's what you can do to stay here illegally. | ||
| They are encouraging people to do so. | ||
| Inducement would be more so, if you stay here, we will do something for you. | ||
| So to offer something so that they will come and stay. | ||
| And there's a point that we've been talking about this a little bit. | ||
| Sorry, just real quick. | ||
| And the free health care they offer in California, I think, is an inducement. | ||
| And housing. | ||
| And they should arrest those people. | ||
| This is something that we've been talking about a little bit. | ||
| The fact that it's coming from Congress people, it matters. | ||
| So if it was just your average Joe or even just your average activist person, I don't think that – I think that there would be an argument that's legitimate to say, look, this is just the freedom of speech, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Because it comes from a congressperson, there is an implication of legality. | ||
| There's an implication of this is what you do, and it's legal for you to do this, so you should do this. | ||
| There is an authority that they have, and because of that, I think that it's worth pointing out and saying, look... | ||
| We have the freedom of speech here. | ||
| But what you're doing when you're telling these people and the way you're telling these people does fall under the law that Tim just talked about. | ||
| Because these people that are through no... | ||
| I understand that they're just regular people and they're probably... | ||
| Pretty ignorant to how U.S. law works, so they probably are just like, oh, this is a congressperson, and they're telling me, so this must be legal, this must be how it is. | ||
| So that is an inducement. | ||
| The fact that it's coming from a congressperson implies legitimacy, and that in and of itself is an inducement. | ||
| I'd just like to see the DOJ start arresting them. | ||
| Yes, absolutely. | ||
| Well, look, and I want to stress this. | ||
| AOC, what she's done so far, she should get arrested, a court appearance, and like a couple hundred dollar fine. | ||
| You know, they say, look, what you did, you held an activist seminar, you were promoting these things, however, that is criminal inducement. | ||
| To first offense, you're a member of Congress, don't do it again. | ||
| And then censured by Congress. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Censure as well. | ||
| But my point is, I don't see, what we want is deterrence. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Arresting and locking up will create more activism. | ||
| What we want is a statement from the government, this is illegal, pay your $200 ticket, don't do it again. | ||
| She likely will not. | ||
| That's what we want to see. | ||
| We want to see just, like, let the punishment fit the crime. | ||
| She did a webinar, okay? | ||
| I think she pays a fine for that, and we don't do it again. | ||
| If she then defies the law again... | ||
| Perhaps there's another webinar. | ||
| Well, then I would say, beyond that, you get a larger fine. | ||
| And then if she does it a third time, then you get some short sentence, which is going to be like 30 days in jail or something. | ||
| You know, I don't see inducement as being – actually, I agree with Phil in that as a member of Congress, you have a higher expectation than the average citizen. | ||
| But I think in terms of what I want to see from the Trump administration is stoic, dispassionate accountability. | ||
| So that's why I'm saying we will be light with the penalties to start. | ||
| And if they continually press it, we will go after everyone with escalating punishment as we do for any other law. | ||
| And I don't think that you take one of these Democrats advocating for illegal immigration and lock them up for 10 years. | ||
| That's silly. | ||
| And not only that, it's egregious. | ||
| It's aggressive. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| She held a webinar and she got a bunch of activists. | ||
| You give her a fine, tell her don't do it again. | ||
| She does it again, then you give her a bigger fine and everyone else involved. | ||
| But you do perp walk. | ||
| Oh, well, they want that. | ||
| But I don't disagree. | ||
| I don't disagree. | ||
| She'd reapply her lipstick. | ||
| But we want all the... | ||
| Okay, the point is, this is and has been illegal for a long time. | ||
| And for some reason, over the past 15 years, we have operated in this society where Democrats break the law and get away with it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| So we want to set the standard and say, this is illegal, has been illegal, and we'll enforce the law against you. | ||
| And it's coming. | ||
| I wonder if, you said inducement. | ||
| I wonder if Alejandro Mayorkas should have been charged with inducement. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| When he said, we're not saying, don't come. | ||
| We're saying, don't come now. | ||
| That was March 1st, 2021. And that's what he said. | ||
| And he repeated, he said that, and then everyone was like, you said that. | ||
| And he was like, no, I didn't. | ||
| So here's the question. | ||
| Post-administration impeachment for Joe Biden because he induced illegals to come to the United States. | ||
| I was actually, to your point there, Tim. | ||
| Okay, so we have ALC, who's a congressperson, kind of doing a webinar. | ||
| When you have Mayorkas with his level, his status, and you have Joe Biden saying surge the border. | ||
| Isn't that more than just inducement? | ||
| I would think it's encouragement, but it's also to a certain extent, or at least to me, I would say it's treasonous because you're opening the border, they sue Texas, and then they want everyone to flood from another country, but your position as president is a direct violation of the constitutional duty. | ||
| It's a violation of his oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. | ||
| I don't think that treason is accurate. | ||
| But I do want to see some treason coming. | ||
| Well, let me tell you. | ||
| Well, yeah, because treason is aiding an enemy in a time of war. | ||
| And so sedition is when you undermine government. | ||
| Sedition. | ||
| Yeah, people confuse the two. | ||
| But there is one man who perhaps can answer the deep questions we have, and that man is Kash Patel from the post-millennial breaking. | ||
| Senate Judiciary Committee advances. | ||
| Kash Patel is FBI director. | ||
| We'll face vote in closed Senate executive session. | ||
| Now, hold on there a gosh darn minute. | ||
| My understanding is that the committee advances the nominee and then it goes to a floor vote and then we have our appointee. | ||
| Libby, what's going on? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Oh, with the Senate Judiciary? | ||
| Yeah, so the way it works, and I was talking to my staff about this because we were all a little like, what's going on? | ||
| But so the committee that held his confirmation hearings advances him to the next round. | ||
| And in this case, that's an executive session, which is a closed session. | ||
| And after the executive session, they will vote on cloture, which means no more debate, and then it will go for a full vote. | ||
| Why is it taking so long to get cash? | ||
| Why is it maybe the Epstein list? | ||
| We were talking about that before the show. | ||
| There's a lot of debate surrounding Cash, and there was a lot of debate surrounding Tulsi as well. | ||
| But I think that... | ||
| And didn't Tulsi have a closed-door session? | ||
| She had a closed-door session as well. | ||
| Yeah, she did. | ||
| I remember that's when I was like, what's going on? | ||
| Yeah, because in a closed session, they're like, please tell us you're not going to do these things. | ||
| And I think the closed session also has to do with, in the case of Cash and... | ||
| Tulsi, I think it has to do with the incredibly sensitive nature of the things that they need to discuss. | ||
| You know, I mean, they're like super confidential. | ||
| Well, you say whatever you want in there. | ||
| But is Cash going to release the Epstein list? | ||
| That's what he said he's going to do. | ||
| I was actually listening to, it was a PBD podcast with Glenn Beck, and he said, within 10 days. | ||
| Of Cash getting in. | ||
| And I'm like, and Cash has been saying from, you know, over the last three years on every podcast and going, I'm going to do this thing. | ||
| So, I mean, a number one pederast in the world in U.S. history. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| Remember that guy who was tracking Elon's private jets? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We need him now. | ||
| I'm not a fan of posting the information on Elon's jets. | ||
| That's not what I mean. | ||
| But we need the expertise of monitoring the jets of all of these Hollywood celebrities, billionaires, financial executives, etc., to see how many of them, shortly after the confirmation of Kash Patel, how many of them fly to other countries on their jets? | ||
| With no extradition laws. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| All of a sudden, all the planes just like... | ||
| Goes to Kenya? | ||
| You're like, uh... | ||
| I'll go to one place. | ||
| Is it like Russell Simmons in Thailand? | ||
| And he's like, never coming back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wasn't there something? | |
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Russell Simmons left in 21. Yeah. | ||
| He saw things and he's like, I'm out of here. | ||
| He's been gone for years. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| He wasn't even going to try to play again. | ||
| Yeah, I mean. | ||
| Diddy should have gone with him. | ||
| Does Cash have to live in a bulletproof glass box right now? | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| I don't know because I think, again, I think they've been planning for stuff like this and they got people around them. | ||
| They got people around them ready for the smoke. | ||
| I kind of feel like, you know, the empire has been crushed. | ||
| That with Donald Trump's victory this time around, there's just, you know, it's, you've gotten rid of most of the infrastructure and all that's left are remnants of the deep state that still somewhat are operating. | ||
| You know, it is like... | ||
| After World War II, they were like, this man was living in the jungle and didn't know the war was over for five years. | ||
| He's still fighting to this day. | ||
| Joseph Boyce, the artist Joseph Boyce, who had this whole crazy thing. | ||
| But I think the other thing, too, you're talking about the empire has been crushed. | ||
| I think there's something to watch out for that we need to be careful about, and that is the tendrils. | ||
| The tendrils that have gone so deep into everything. | ||
| The tendrils that made it so that the Department of Agriculture withheld free school lunches from schools that wouldn't let boys and girls back. | ||
| And that's the pulling out of the DEI through the Department of Education. | ||
| That's the pulling out of the gender ideology. | ||
| I like the tendrils analogy, but I think we can go for something more disgusting like botfly larvae. | ||
| That has burrowed and embedded its seeds under your skin. | ||
| That's horrifying. | ||
| I like the tendrils thing because I think octopuses are cool. | ||
| I get your point. | ||
| The thing is, it goes beyond just... | ||
| Remember, USAID was working with foreign nations all over the world. | ||
| And there's a lot of foreign nations that have their governments. | ||
| Because of the work that USAID did. | ||
| So it's not just a matter of things here in the U.S. There are remnants, sure, there are still people in positions of power that will do whatever they can to stymie the Trump administration. | ||
| But the whole of Europe has bought into the ideology that we're trying to excoriate from the United States. | ||
| It's been a part of it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's not just bought. | ||
| I mean, you look at what's going on and everyone talked about, you know. | ||
| Germany. | ||
| 60 Minutes in Germany. | ||
| That is every bit as influential as it's ever been. | ||
| So it's not just the United... | ||
| People talk about, hey, get out of NATO because, well, they're not paying their fair share. | ||
| But maybe get out of NATO because they don't believe in liberal values like the freedom of speech anymore. | ||
| That was the most amazing speech that J.D. Vance gave on Friday. | ||
| I watched that speech and I was like, this is the kind of speech that we... | ||
| We need to see all over the world. | ||
| He threw down the gauntlet. | ||
| He was just like, you're not upholding Western values. | ||
| You're not vouchsafing Western civilization. | ||
| What are you even defending yourselves for? | ||
| That was such a huge and good question. | ||
| It is very based that we have a president who tweets. | ||
| And then, you know, that was 2016 or 2017 to 21. But now we have a vice president as well. | ||
| Because the current vice president is on Twitter. | ||
| Calling people dummies. | ||
| Roasting these people. | ||
| And I'm like, so it was Mehdi Hassan, I believe, who threw some critique over J.D. Vance's commentary, and he responded with, yeah, like, free speech. | ||
| Like, you shouldn't go to jail for insulting somebody, dummy. | ||
| And it was amazing to see the vice president on Twitter be like, you're dumb. | ||
| Well, you know what? | ||
| This is like a reversal, right? | ||
| Because John Adams was the first vice president, and he got into office, and he and George Washington didn't agree about anything. | ||
| And so he was like, well, I'll just let George Washington govern, and I'll just... | ||
| But just really quick with USAID, when that story started breaking... | ||
| I was like, wait, I remember something about this from a couple years ago. | ||
| It was in 2022 that Samantha Powers went to Hungary and started giving a bunch of money to independent fringe media and LGBTQ causes because they didn't like Viktor Orban and they wanted to destabilize their government. | ||
| And what they said was, what Powers said at the time was, we're upholding democracy in Hungary. | ||
| And it's like, no, you're trying to destabilize a government that you don't like. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I think also the JD thing is because Trump is such a force. | ||
| We need a JD and anyone behind him to kind of put themselves on that platform. | ||
| Because the left is going to pump money into somebody by 2028, right? | ||
| And Gavin's burned up his opportunity. | ||
| Too soon. | ||
| But JD is also showing, like, I don't play. | ||
| And we needed to see him come out there and do that as consistently. | ||
| His free speech was good, and his Munich speech was good. | ||
| And he's preparing, like, this is the future. | ||
| One of the things we're seeing in Trump, I know I felt this, him standing there, like, we gotta remember, he got shot, y'all. | ||
| In the head. | ||
| In the head. | ||
| If we think, like, oh, just the raids got him pissed, he got shot. | ||
| What do you think he's going to do? | ||
| First they went for his lady and then they came for him. | ||
| And so he's coming hard and then coming behind him is the future. | ||
| JD represents the young men who are in their 20s holding up that flag during those frat boys who were like, no, you're not going to destroy my country. | ||
| And while Kamala picks this old raisin of a dude, the little pansy boy in Tim Waltz, we get JD Vance who comes from literally The garbage background that you could say if you wanted to say that comes from literally the bottom and now he's here. | ||
| So he had to show literally the world like, look, you can come here too, American kid. | ||
| One of the great things about J.D. Vance is in that speech he was talking to European leaders the exact same way that he talked to Margaret. | ||
| He's like, I'm not putting up with your BS. You're not doing that. | ||
| The same way he talks to everybody, which is what Trump does too. | ||
| Which is great. | ||
| And it was also good to see Marco Rubio. | ||
| Which, not that I think that Marco Rubio is spineless or anything. | ||
| He's doing well. | ||
| Yeah, he's doing really, really well. | ||
| And he's carrying out the policies that Donald Trump wants. | ||
| Marco Rubio is not, it does not seem like Marco Rubio has any interest in throwing a wrench into the works of the administration. | ||
| He is there to do what Donald Trump wants, and that is refreshing, and it's also something that we need because, you know, like Mike Benz talks about the blob, it's the State Department, it's DOD, and it's CIA, right? | ||
| Right? | ||
| So that's the three. | ||
| Well, he's the one talking about the tendrils, too, or the butt flies. | ||
| The butt fly loving. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Whatever disgusting thing that is. | ||
| And he's talking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait. | |
| You don't know what that is? | ||
| I don't want to know. | ||
| It's a parasitic fly that lays its eggs under your skin. | ||
| I actually want to hear the whole thing. | ||
| They lay their eggs under your skin and you'll get like a bug bite. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| You get like a red bump and then eventually the... | ||
| It opens up into a hole, and the lava is in your skin, sticking its head out, looking around. | ||
| Oh, God, dude. | ||
| Oh, bro. | ||
| It's gross. | ||
| Hey, wait, wait, wait, hold on. | ||
| That's how I view the deep state. | ||
| Yeah, oh, God. | ||
| Yeah, see, exactly. | ||
| Now you know how I feel. | ||
| It kind of reminds me, you remember Total Recall, the Schwarzenegger one? | ||
|

Yeah. | |
| Where the guy's like, yeah! | ||

|
Yeah. | |
| Have you guys ever seen a lotus bloom or whatever? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where it's like, it's got all little holes in the seed pods. | ||
| Imagine that, but instead of seeds, it's, you know, maggots, big ones. | ||
| Ew. | ||
| Smiling at you. | ||
| Like, our viewership's going to drop by 10,000 right now. | ||
| People are like, turn it off! | ||
| It's gross! | ||
| Or go up by 10,000. | ||
| No, no, no, hold on, guys. | ||
| I really want to stress this. | ||
| I hope everyone at home listening, whenever they think of the deep state apparatus, that vision of bot flies are in their brain. | ||
| That association is a good thing. | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| Recoil in disgust. | ||
| Yeah, I think so, too. | ||
| I've mostly thought of, like, roots and stuff. | ||
| No, that's too nice. | ||
| It is too nice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's trees. | |
| Flowers with trees. | ||
| Not flowers. | ||
| You know, poison. | ||
| Poison roots. | ||
| When you say there's roots, I imagine, like, bunnies hopping around. | ||
| Oh, there's bunnies, but they have fangs. | ||
| Smiling trees singing a song. | ||
| Fang bunnies. | ||
| You know, fang bunnies. | ||
| It still makes me laugh. | ||
| Yeah, it's so easy. | ||
| It's nice. | ||
| Botfly's a good one. | ||
| That's a good one. | ||
| You sit there and watch them coming in and out of... | ||
| But this is what Ben's talks about. | ||
| Is it... | ||
| It's so deep in the, I don't know, maggots or whatever. | ||
| It's so deep that when we start unraveling it, it's like the ACA. Remember when all the legislators were like, oh, you know, we're not going to know what's in Obamacare until we enact it. | ||
| That's like we're not going to know what all USAID was doing until we cut it. | ||
| I'll pull up a picture of botflies in the members portion. | ||
| That's okay. | ||

| Let's talk about something. | ||
| I'm down. | ||
| I just want everyone to associate the deep state with an image of botfly larva. | ||
| Image of gross. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Let's push that. | ||
| I'm going to tweet that later. | ||
| We've got to get on top of that one. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We've got a bunch of these stories. | ||
| Which one do we want to jump to? | ||
| There's a whole bunch, and the world is our waste. | ||
| All kinds of RFK stuff. | ||
| There is. | ||
| We can talk about the RFK stuff. | ||
| We also have the judge denying the... | ||
| Why don't we go with RFK Jr.? | ||
| No, let's do this. | ||
| Let's do tariffs. | ||
| What do you guys think? | ||
| Tariffs? | ||
| Tariffs. | ||
| Yeah, why not? | ||
| Alright, tariffs it is. | ||
| From the Post Millennial, Trump says auto tariffs will be 25% or higher to begin April 2nd. | ||
| I'll probably tell you that on April 2nd, but it'll be in the neighborhood of 25%. | ||
| This is huge. | ||
| Yeah, let's go. | ||
| Last week, Trump said that new tariffs on automobiles could take effect as early as April. | ||
| His comments come ahead of reports from his cabinet members who are scheduled to present options on various import duties as part of his broader effort to restructure global trade. | ||
| I'm a fan. | ||
| They say that currently the European Union applies a 10% tariff on vehicle imports, four times the 2.5% rate the U.S. charges. | ||
| So, this is big. | ||
| I'm in favor of it. | ||
| What do you guys think? | ||
| Well, the auto air tariff is at 25%. | ||
| I mean, if we can inspire American companies to actually build cars in America, I think that's a universal good. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Like, I've always ascribed to libertarian kind of ideas around economics and stuff like that, but I was totally wrong about when Donald Trump, in his first term, he was talking about a trade war with China and everyone's like, oh, blah, blah, blah, trade war trade is so terrible. | ||
| And I was like, this is a bad idea. | ||
| And I was totally wrong. | ||
| You know, China essentially folded. | ||
| And if that's the goal... | ||
| If this is about bargaining, let the man cook, because I don't know nearly as much as he does. | ||
| But I do think if we can bring jobs back to the United States or create jobs in the U.S., particularly, I think, personally, particularly in the semiconductor area, so that way we have at least enough production capacity of chips to take care of the government and the military. | ||

|
How about we just ban cars? | |
| Nobody can have a car. | ||
| Yeah, ban them all. | ||
| And then Trump could force everyone to buy electric vehicles by 2030. Didn't we already do that? | ||
| And he said, no way, we're not doing that. | ||
| California's doing that. | ||
| Are they doing it anyway? | ||
| They're banning gas vehicles. | ||
| They're doing it anyway? | ||
| Which is insane. | ||
| New York tried to do that as well. | ||
| I don't know if it was. | ||
| It's not going to like... | ||
| There's something coming for Gavin. | ||
| Listen, listen. | ||
| Let me just say. | ||
| The plan of Democrats in the deep state is that you will live in the pod and you will eat the bugs. | ||
| And you will not be able to go anywhere because once you have an electric car, they can just shut off your power and you're stranded. | ||
| And you can't work either. | ||
| Well, all cars... | ||
| You can't work, yeah. | ||
| It was all cars made after... | ||
| I want to say it was 2021 or 22. They have the automatic shutoff switch now. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Congress passed that. | ||
| What do you mean the automatic shut-off in gas cars? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Every car, what was it, after 21 or 22 or something? | ||
| What do you mean automatic shut-off? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You could be driving your car and the police can be like, ba-doop, and you're like, what the hell? | |
| Wow. | ||
| So just buy old cars. | ||
| Everything pre-2020. | ||
| You want like a 60s Mustang or something that's mechanical. | ||
| Who doesn't want a 60s Mustang? | ||
| Come on. | ||
| That's a dream car. | ||
| Get a 1990s Ford. | ||
| F1 or 250 or something like that because they're not super old. | ||
| And you want to be able to drive stick shift? | ||
| I don't have a stick shift. | ||
| Yeah, automatic transmission busts, you're done. | ||
| But when the solar flare comes, everybody in those mechanical cars is going to be like, what's the problem? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yeah, the 1960s Mustang, that's like... | ||
| Yeah, 69, 67, 69, drop top black. | ||
| I'm just going to say this. | ||
| Nice old Cadillac. | ||
| I'm not going to investigate anymore what Trump is doing as it relates to the economy because everything the Democrats All their plans are relate to living in the pot and eating the bugs. | ||
| So I'm going to go ahead and assume that whatever Trump is doing is the opposite of that and just roll with it. | ||
| That's a pretty fair assumption. | ||
| That's sort of what I've been thinking, too, especially when it comes to bringing jobs back to the United States and implementing tariffs. | ||
| I mean, when he starts talking about it, he was talking about it today from his press conference at the Winter White House, and he was talking about how... | ||
| Winter White House? | ||
| Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| I was like, where is she talking? | ||
| Oh, yeah, that's right. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| but yeah he was talking about how all of these other countries charge us these huge tariffs and we don't charge them equivalent tariffs and And it's because we are over here being like, well, we're so powerful, we better be magnanimous. | ||
| It's like, no, that magnanimity is just screwing Americans. | ||
| Magnanimity. | ||
| That's a word. | ||
| I know, it's just funny. | ||
| I think it was actually connected more to the coward-piven tactic, which was started after the 64 Civil Rights Act was passed in order to break our economy. | ||
| It actually tells me with these tariffs, with all the fraud they're finding in Doge, It tells me how rich our country really is. | ||
| Even when that's happening, someone like Tim can still create a business this successful. | ||
| Imagine. | ||
| The tariffs come in equally at best and we can squeeze out this fraud. | ||
| How much more could America... | ||
| There was this crazy thing somebody was saying on Twitter. | ||
| I think it was the D.C. Drano account was saying, like, with all this money that Doge finds and cuts, they should give little remittance. | ||
| The Doge dividend. | ||
| The Doge dividend. | ||
| And Elon Musk was like, let's talk to the president. | ||
| It's like in Alaska, what they do with the oil. | ||
| I think so far the Doge dividend is going to be like $3. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I'll take that $3. | ||
| I'll wait. | ||
| I'll wait. | ||
| I'll wait two years. | ||
| I'll wait two years until they get through the IRS. They get through all these different agencies. | ||
| Hey, no. | ||
| By the end of the year, it could be $80 to $100. | ||
| That's fine with me. | ||
| I know. | ||
| That's hot. | ||
| I mean, that's going to get you out for dinner for one day. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Not in L.A. That would be put yourself out for dinner. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| On average. | ||
| But think about this. | ||
| Imagine if they save... | ||
| What are they going to have to—they're going to have to muster up, what, a trillion dollars to get everybody $100? | ||
| Or not even $100? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| That's all right. | ||
| That's still probably going to be— That's still good. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| But then also with the tariffs, you're adding that on top of that, too. | ||
| So you've got the tariffs. | ||
| You've got all the fraud—as much of the fraud as possible. | ||
| And if they start to open up—I mean, I think— I think there's something coming with the IRS and taxes on people. | ||
| So when you see that coming, places like Florida are going to take away a state tax, and then the government wants to ultimately reduce the tax. | ||
| I think Trump wants to just get rid of it altogether. | ||
| I would love to see it, but this is all stuff that you took Congress for. | ||
| I was way off. | ||
| It's actually $33 billion saved to give each American $100. | ||
| So if they can muster up $300 billion in savings, every American gets $1,000. | ||
| That's sweet. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| It's not just that. | ||
| It's not just $1,000. | ||
| And you have jobs. | ||
| And your schools maybe don't fuck anymore and indoctrinate your kids. | ||
| And you get a nice car. | ||
| And you get a car. | ||
| Seeing them squeeze us as they have pretty much since the early 1900s when they decided to enact taxes and move away from the tariff system. | ||
| Look at these cities. | ||
| And I grew up in Chicago. | ||
| So, Evanston, actually. | ||
| I'm a Northsider. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I know you're a Southsider, but I'm a Sox fan. | ||
| You look at what's going on with these cities, and it's like, they're so broken down. | ||
| Skid Row. | ||
| I used to do feeding, you know, food giveaways down over in Skid Row. | ||
| How does it look like, my family's from Liberia, how does it look like Liberia and Skid Row where people are living on the street like that and we have this much money in the country and the person who runs the homeless, that homeless agency is making somewhere around $500,000 to $600,000 a year? | ||
| And most of their money goes to administrative costs. | ||
| If you look at all of these charities and the NGOs, it all goes to administrative costs. | ||
| Well, that's why colleges got so expensive too. | ||
| They just kept building more and more administrative buildings and having more and more people. | ||
| People come in who, like, sit around for three hours and then go to lunch and then try and figure out when they're going home. | ||
| And now the college was backed by the government, so they could raise it all the time without worrying about actually having to hit any real numbers. | ||
| So they were trapping people in indentured servitude with all these college loans that were, go ahead and backed by your government, which then would just squeeze us down even more and more, the coward-piven strategy to destroy the American economy. | ||
| And that's what we've been fighting against, is this new... | ||
| Communist action that the Civil Rights Act had ushered in. | ||
| We're now, hopefully, on the other side of starting to break that up. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I'm hopeful that we are on the other side, that there's, because, I mean, so I've been complaining about communism for 15, it feels like, for 15 years, right? | ||
| And for the most part, for a good portion of it, people were like, oh. | ||
| That's not a problem anymore. | ||
| That isn't a thing anymore. | ||
| And it's like, you know, it's 2011 and I'm like, no, like, if you go online and you look at the people that are, like, the things that people on, you know, in the weird spaces on the internet are talking about, like, they're full of commies. | ||
| Now, granted, they were, there were significantly fewer of them back then, but, like, communism is an ideology that's really attractive to people that don't know anything about history. | ||
| I would actually, I would say then that takes us to Hollywood. | ||
| I mean, partially, yeah. | ||
| In the late 50s, communism actually interjected itself into the pro-black movement. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So they started becoming more alive in there. | ||
| So that's how you see the black community moves the way it does, because they were the first group of Americans to actually embrace communism without knowing it was communism, because they were like, we're being discriminated against. | ||
| Now, the Democratic Party, after 65, adopted communism. | ||
| They've been communists this entire time. | ||
| They haven't changed. | ||
| And then who's the mouthpiece for the Democratic Party? | ||
| Hollywood. | ||
| Hollywood. | ||
| How many World War II movies have we seen from Hollywood talking about fascism and Nazis? | ||
| Then let's ask you, how many movies have we seen them talk about communism and mouth? | ||
| Not a lot. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| So people have no idea what communism is because the mouthpiece has been telling you, it's the guy with the little mustache that's fat. | ||
| That falls into the strategy of people like Saul Alinsky and even further back the communists in the 50s and stuff. | ||
| They would say, look, you should go and accuse... | ||
| Your opponents of being fascists, to accuse them of being Nazis, to accuse them of this, because people are so revolted by those ideas and by that kind of ideology. | ||
| Especially when they're showing us over and over, like, man, look what they did to Jews, and look what they did to Europe, right? | ||
| And you have, when you said 2011 awards, and many of them, no, my argument is the Democratic Party were. | ||
| And so was Hollywood. | ||
| They weren't so openly in you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Before we jump to the next segment, I want to take the opportunity once again, as we're talking about living the pot and eating the bugs, I implore people to look into their state's worker classification laws. | ||
| They've been sweeping the country and they've been completely overlooked by the right. | ||
| They are effectively making it illegal to work. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| If this one... | ||
| Is missed. | ||
| Moving forward, California, West Virginia notoriously have some of the worst laws. | ||
| I've been reading into it. | ||
| We are going to be 20 years from now, your child will be looking for work, and they'll say, my options are Amazon and Walmart, and you'll say, well, why don't you just see if the local grocery store has any gigs? | ||
| Maybe you can go to a local bar and do some barback and stuff for today. | ||
| Oh, no, it's illegal. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| When I was living in Chicago, I went to a bunch of bars looking for work, and one guy said, if you help out tonight, I'll give you $40. | ||
| Illegal. | ||
| Illegal. | ||
| We are moving towards—so there was something that happened in West Virginia. | ||
| A statement was made by activists in West Virginia pertaining to gun rights where the Biden administration wanted to make it so that all gun transfers had to happen in an FFL, a licensed gun shop. | ||
| And in West Virginia, which has mountainous, very rural areas— There were people, the advocacy groups were basically saying, there's a guy who lives two and a half hours from the nearest city, and his brother is ten minutes down the road. | ||
| He needs to give his brother a gun to protect his house from wild animals, which there are many, or to hunt. | ||
| So they both have to drive two and a half hours into a city so that he can hand the weapon. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| Now, we're heading in that direction with over-regulation, where if the Democrats had their way, that's what you would have to do. | ||
| These gig economy or Uber laws that are passing all over the country, 34 states have some variation of them. | ||
| Tennessee's got it. | ||
| West Virginia's got it. | ||
| Virginia's a little bit better. | ||
| Illinois, Florida, they've all got it. | ||
| These legislatures in these states have been passing this, and no one on their right has said anything about it. | ||
| That's not true that no one on the right has said anything about it. | ||
| Well, when California passed, I think it was called SB5, it was a huge scandal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now, over the past seven years, it's swept across the country, hitting almost every single state without so much as a news cycle. | ||
| Well, and the federal government, right? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| This is the PRO Act. | ||
| This is what Biden was pushing. | ||
| And every time he brought it up, I would write about it, and I would say, guys, this is bad. | ||
| It means you can't work. | ||
| It's communism. | ||
| It means you can't work for yourself. | ||
| Your children? | ||
| You need to be able to work for yourself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Like, that's just the... | ||
| It's like, if I can't get a job, if I can't get someone else to give me permission to earn a living, like, I don't need permission to earn a living. | ||
| That should be what every American says is, I don't need a permission to earn a living. | ||
| You have all these people on the left saying, like, having it all is a right, but it's like, no, nothing, no, you have the right to earn your own food. | ||
| You don't need someone to give you... | ||
| Permission to do that. | ||
| You can stop at you don't need permission. | ||
| You don't need permission. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's the whole thing. | ||
| You don't need permission. | ||
| You don't need permission. | ||
| In the United States, we are ostensibly a free country. | ||
| That means that you don't need permission to go do things. | ||
| There's a meme on the internet. | ||
| You know, you can just go do things. | ||
| Not anymore. | ||
| Tim, this is good. | ||
| I'm happy you're talking about this because you're talking about 20 years and your kid at this point now. | ||
| And I got an 11-month-old you're about to have, and that's our kids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Like, if we don't do something now... | ||
| Our kids are going to grow up in a society where the presumption of access to resources come from government-approved institutions only. | ||
| Well, but that's what they've been trying to do this whole time. | ||
| They've been trying to do this. | ||
| Communist. | ||
| You know, they want you to have... | ||
| They want your main partner in life to be the government. | ||
| I've brought this up before, but do you guys remember the ad for Obamacare during the Biden administration, and it was this woman... | ||
| And it was like she was this little cartoon. | ||
| And it showed her going through life. | ||
| She'd go through school, government school. | ||
| She'd go get a job, be a government job. | ||
| She'd have a baby. | ||
| The government would provide it. | ||
| She got pregnant. | ||
| You never even saw a man in this cartoon. | ||
| There was an outrage among the right for a reason. | ||
| The idea that you should expect to depend on the government from birth to death is offensive to a percentage of the population. | ||
| And it should be a larger percentage. | ||
| We're talking about communism. | ||
| This is teaching kids to be communists without any of the theory. | ||
| You don't have to teach people Marx to teach them to be communists. | ||
| Let me stress what this law in West Virginia does. | ||
| It's not just West Virginia, but it's what's happening to us. | ||
| If you want to work, either your employer has to ask the government for permission or you have to ask the government for permission. | ||
| What they've explained to us is a corporation goes to the government and requests the right to hire people and has to pay the government money to do it. | ||
| Payroll taxes and service tax and things like this. | ||
| If you are an individual and you want to do a series of jobs or production for various companies, you have to first go to the government, file for a West Virginia business, file for a license, open a bank account for that business and operate that entity. | ||
| That's absolutely insane. | ||
| And that's 34 states are doing this, and at the federal level, the Department of Labor has enacted rules trying to make this federal. | ||
| Yeah, Joe Biden ran on it. | ||
| He was trying to get it through Congress. | ||
| These people are evil. | ||
| It's insane when they did that one in California. | ||
| I was working freelance. | ||
| I lived in New York City. | ||
| And New York was trying to do it too. | ||
| And California and New York have legislators that work together to get laws passed in California first. | ||
| Oh yeah, they like to do it at the tail end. | ||
| Yeah, and then they get them those same laws passed. | ||
| They did it with Trans Sanctuary State and some other stuff. | ||
| And so New York was doing it too. | ||
| And I was looking at it and I was like, I work... | ||
| For myself, writing for all of these different outlets. | ||
| And that's how I was like, you know, I had to start a new career. | ||
| This is how I was paying my bills, feeding my kid, like paying my rent. | ||
| And I was like, they're trying to make it illegal for me to work in a way that is consistent with being able to raise my son and all of this stuff. | ||
| Think about how that translates. | ||
| So as a writer, you would write for, let's say you write for three different organizations. | ||
| It was like 10, but sure. | ||
| And so what they're trying to say is, no, pick one. | ||
| They have to hire you full-time. | ||
| Well, they won't. | ||
| They're going to say... | ||
| We won't do that. | ||
| And they're small. | ||
| Outlets are really small. | ||
| Post-millennial, we have 12 people on staff or something like that. | ||
| We're just a little outlet. | ||
| So you and your garage make birdhouses and then you've got three nursing homes that like to buy a birdhouse once a month. | ||
| Each of them. | ||
| Yeah, each of them because they break and the old people like it. | ||
| And then one day the government comes to you and says you either get hired as a full-time employee making birdhouses for one nursing home or you can't work ever again. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| They're trying to stifle – I mean, with the gig economy, it's really – I remember in the 90s, it was the fastest growth of millionaires because of the internet, and they're trying to cut that off at the past with the gig economy. | ||
| Let's just pause real quick. | ||
| The gig economy emerges. | ||
| Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Seamless, Super Eats, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| All of a sudden, there's a bunch of apps that allow you to instantly connect to other people for exchange of goods and services. | ||
| Understand that California, West Virginia, Florida, Illinois, New York, all of these states that are doing this are basically saying, oh no, the people have figured out how to work for each other quick, make it illegal. | ||
| That's what they're doing. | ||
| I believe if you want to work, if you want to be an independent contractor, this is the funny thing. | ||
| I actually agree with Uber. | ||
| Uber's argument was, we're a social media app that connects one user to another. | ||
| We don't hire anybody. | ||
| In which case, you're not even an independent contractor. | ||
| You are just... | ||
| Literally someone using an app to connect to somebody else. | ||
| You're like a sole proprietor. | ||
| Uber should have no requirement to be an employer. | ||
| They say, here's an app. | ||
| If someone presses, I need a ride, then someone who wants to give a ride can connect to them, and we're not employing anybody, and that's the way it should be. | ||
| That's what it was supposed to be in the first place. | ||
| And DoorDash and other stuff. | ||
| It was so cheap back in the day. | ||
| This communist move, a warning I want to put out there to everyone, if you want to see the results of it, look at the black communities in cities. | ||
| Because that's the ones that rely the most on the government. | ||
| That's the ones that get more government jobs. | ||
| You want to see the results of what communism looks like in America? | ||
| The black community in every major city in this country is the result of that. | ||
| No father, like you were saying, you didn't see a man in the picture because the government's daddy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I talked to a friend of mine who's a Chicago police officer. | ||
| She's like, you have no idea how many mothers, single moms, I get called so that they can come deal with their sons. | ||
| That's supposed to be my job and your job and your job. | ||
| Not supposed to be a government. | ||
| So that's my warning for communism. | ||
| Let's do a hard segue into this story from the Post Millennial. | ||
| New black queer woman to play Jesus Christ in Jesus Christ Superstar Musical at Hollywood Bowl. | ||
| Do you like my headline? | ||
| Cynthia Erivo will be playing Jesus in the upcoming Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar. | ||
| Look, Jesus Christ Superstar was blasphemous anyways, so I'm true. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Do you really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Still blasphemous, but that's okay. | ||
| What about Godspell? | ||
| So let's hold on. | ||
| I need some context here, guys. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| Am I supposed to be offended that a black woman is Jesus? | ||
| No, it's a British woman. | ||
| She's got a British accent and everything. | ||
| How could a British person ever play Jesus? | ||
| British people can't be Jesus? | ||
| No. | ||
| It does sound funny when I hear Australians or Brits talk about Jesus Christ and God. | ||
| I'm like, that sounds funny. | ||
| But no. | ||
| Sounds funny. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| No, I just thought it was interesting and that people would like it. | ||
| Why can't she be Jesus? | ||
| Because she's female. | ||
| It might be offensive. | ||
| Jesus was a guy. | ||
| Jesus was a man. | ||
| Jesus was a man. | ||
| Jesus was a man, and sexuality was not part of what was his driving cause in the world. | ||
| He was sinless, man. | ||
| Why is Jesus Christ Superstar blasphemous? | ||
| Because it's supposed to be Judas rethinking whether or not Jesus was actually the Son of God. | ||
| But that's what he was doing when he collected his silver in the first place. | ||
| Even though he followed him, he moved away from him because the money was even better. | ||
| This right here, though, this is, again, another example with the queer pastors, that woman who tried to berate Trump, then you find out she was getting paid by USAID. Didn't her church get like $58 million? | ||
| Yeah, $58 million. | ||
| It was a non-profit or something, or the church. | ||
| But all of this is why, and actually I commend you, Tim, because I know you're not deep in it as a Christian, but you respect kind of what Christianity has done for the world. | ||
| And we need to get back to that, as I would like to call it, become more biblical Americans. | ||
| It doesn't mean you have to be a Baptist or Catholic or anything, but biblical Americans, you understand our foundation, our founding fathers, our Gen Zs of the time, if you will, were the ones that used the Bible. | ||
| It's referenced 36 times in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights as our foundation. | ||
| And if we don't get back to that understanding, things like this, and people can come up and they can do that. | ||
| that he gets us washing feet of transgenders and people who are still on drugs and not understanding, there is actually a core foundation of turning away from your issues, turning away from keep doing those terrible things in your life so that you can get, you know, receive a better life in that love of Christ. | ||
| So if we start to get back there and be bold and Christians, I believe we've advocated too much of the space, the social space, and that's why we're struggling the way we We need to get back into entertainment. | ||
| We need to get back into music so that we can start to shift our culture back to understanding who we are. | ||
| One little point I want to make, too. | ||
| My great-great-great-grandfather, Mamalu Massaqua, who was the first ambassador from Liberia to Germany, he came over here and went to school in Tennessee. | ||
| And in 1892, would travel the U.S., go to educational conferences. | ||
| In his speech, he would talk about the greatness of this country that would outlast those of the past and those that come because the foundation is in Jesus Christ. | ||
| This is a black man dressed up in all garb going around to the South with a school in Tennessee and everything, talking about this is what makes us great is our foundation in Jesus Christ. | ||
| So we have to get back to why they wanted to move us away from God and just, you know. | ||
| Look up to, hey, whatever you want to do. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I know exactly why. | ||
| Because religion generally offers peace, and it offers community, and the left needs unhappy people that are atomized because happy people do not... | ||
| Engage in revolutionary activities. | ||
| The left needs people pissed off. | ||
| That's why they're activists. | ||
| That's why they're out protesting. | ||
| Because they're trying to get eyes on them and get other people that might be upset easily too. | ||
| But also you have this element of, I don't want to necessarily say like the red pill. | ||
| That's the old name for these groups. | ||
| But these individuals, these influencers who are very much telling men to sleep with as many women as possible. | ||
| Yeah, they're godless though. | ||
| Andrew Tate recently said, you know, something to the effect of, you know, a man should have kids with as many women as possible, like you're a conqueror or whatever. | ||
| But you're not a father. | ||
| But I was just thinking about that, and I was like, the whole of the Western world and the greatest civilization this planet has seen is built upon the Christian moral tradition and monogamy. | ||
| And so by all means, you can advocate for whatever you want, but certainly in other parts of the world that don't have these moral traditions, we never saw the success we see here in the United States. | ||
| They're struggling. | ||
| I mean, the setup is, you start with Christ, then you go to the man is the head of the household, which is the first form of government. | ||
| We all know this, right? | ||
| That's why they worked so hard, and they showed us in the black community. | ||
| You take the man out, now there is no source of government. | ||
| They have to look to daddy state to please help us just to live and survive, and why are you taking away food stamps and all this, that, and the other? | ||
| Yo, yo, it is crazy to me that when I was growing up, so many of my friends were like, I'm broke, I need to find a job. | ||
| And my world view was very different. | ||
| I would always be like, no, you need money. | ||
| I was like, this is a distinction between needing to find a job and needing money. | ||
| A job is basically for saying, like, you want a stable source of income over a long period of time without having to think too much about it. | ||
| Right now, you need to find out how to make money. | ||
| And there's a bunch of different ways you can do it. | ||
| I was like, homie, take your guitar and go on the side of the street in Wrigleyville and just play the guitar. | ||
| You'll make $100 in a couple hours. | ||
| They couldn't process that. | ||
| Because I believe, I remember growing up and an idea was, you gotta go to college, you gotta go to college, you gotta go to college, you gotta go to college. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was my thing too. | |
| It's like you were expected to go to college at the time I was six years old. | ||
| Enter the machine. | ||
| And you feel like a failure. | ||
| Because that was the cultural push that you felt like a failure if you didn't go to college. | ||
| I didn't like college. | ||
| My wife was like, I didn't want to go, but everybody told me I had to go. | ||
| So we're, you know, kudos to you that you're like, well, I don't get that. | ||
| I'll just go make my own thing. | ||
| But that's not what the schools are telling us growing up. | ||
| That's not, you know, up in Evanston. | ||
| I did my own research. | ||
| I found that college dropout billionaires on average had three times the wealth of college graduate billionaires. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, all the famous stories. | ||
| You know what's really fascinating to me is that in my community growing up, which was music and skateboarding, all the big names were dropouts, high school dropouts. | ||
| So a lot of the big pro skateboarders... | ||
| Just never went to high school. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Well, they were making tons of money as a professional athlete. | ||
| So they said, school isn't for me. | ||
| I will pursue what my career is. | ||
| And then you have all these stories of like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropping out of college and starting companies and making a bunch of money. | ||
| And then I'm sitting here being like, all of my friends who are going to college have no path forward, no plan. | ||
| And then all of these stories we hear of the most successful people are, they stopped going to school. | ||
| Okay, I guess I'm not going to do that. | ||
| And then what happens? | ||
| We have a generation of people who don't know how to work for themselves. | ||
| And that was always the point. | ||
| You will live in the pot, you will eat the bugs. | ||
| And you will have black, queer, female... | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| And what we have now is, now we have a Jesus who's being played by an actress who... | ||
| She's a witch. | ||
| And likely has utter disdain for the religion. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| She thinks that she's non-binary and is also driven in her art by her political ideologies that are driven by identitarianism and sexual identity. | ||
| That doesn't have anything to do with Jesus Christ. | ||
| She also played in this. | ||
| She played this show before she played Mary Magdalene. | ||
| The blasphemy that... | ||
| Is happening here is the motivation for her to do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
| I'm an agnostic. | ||
| I'm not even a religious person. | ||
| Just understand. | ||
| It's just the reason she wants to is the same reason that they made Piss Christ. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Andra Serrano. | ||
| Yeah, well, but I mean, that's the motivation. | ||
| Wait a minute. | ||
| Did you just say piss Christ? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was a photograph. | ||
| The name is ridiculous. | ||
| It was literally funded by the NEA in the 90s. | ||
| Tell them what it is. | ||
| This photographer, Andre Serrano, submerged a crucifix in urine and then photographed it. | ||
| And we paid for it, you guys. | ||
| We paid for that. | ||
| I met him at a party one time. | ||
| The point of that. | ||
| Is to blaspheme. | ||
| Is to mock the religion. | ||
| She's doing this. | ||
| Just the fact that she's doing this. | ||
| She's like, look at me. | ||
| My identity. | ||
| Blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And I'm playing Jesus Christ. | ||
| I'm playing the Lamb of God. | ||
| I'm playing the most pure man that's ever lived. | ||
| The funny thing is, the Bible talks about this. | ||
| It says that they will be haters and mockers of God. | ||
| They come at you because they came at me first. | ||
| This isn't new. | ||
| Ecclesiastes, nothing new under the sun. | ||
| But I like, because Cynthia Erivo sounds like a Nigerian name, and it makes me think, man, if they dropped her in a village in Nigeria, I guarantee she wouldn't be non-binary anymore. | ||
| She has ridiculous... | ||
| She'd be a black woman. | ||
| Cynthia's certainly not... | ||
| She's from the UK. No, the last name I'm saying, like the origin of her... | ||
| Cynthia's not a Nigerian name. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| You're stupid. | ||
| Arivo. | ||
| Well, you said Cynthia Arivo. | ||
| Sounds like a general. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Arivo does, though. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| But if you took her and you just dropped her right into that village, that little random village with no electricity, that non-binary stuff goes out the window. | ||
| That's true for all of the stuff. | ||
| Young people in the United States. | ||
| All the, like, transistinians. | ||
| There's a viral story where a guy said, it was a Reddit post, that his school informed him that his daughter was Was a trans boy. | ||
| And his response was, oh, wow. | ||
| I had no idea. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| What do I do? | ||
| And they said, you know, gender-affirming care and all this stuff. | ||
| And he says, absolutely. | ||
| Just tell me where to go. | ||
| Go to the doctor. | ||
| This is really amazing. | ||
| Thank you for helping my child. | ||
| And then immediately started packing up, planned to move, found another job, and then told the school, thank you so much for all of your help. | ||
| I'm moving for work, but we'll make sure to get my son the treatment he needs. | ||
| And then moved to a rural area. | ||
| Got his daughter away from all that stuff, and then he was like, within three to six months, he was back to being a normal teenage girl. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| If you look at the statistics, it's the blue areas where more kids have identified as these trans and flippants and whatever they want to call them, furries and all this stuff. | ||
| It's literally an indoctrination in these blue areas. | ||
| Don't give them the internet. | ||
| Yeah, internet too. | ||
| Yeah, don't give them the internet. | ||
| Because predators are online and misery loves company. | ||
| How long are you thinking you're going to wait until your kids get to... | ||
| My kid won't know the internet exists. | ||
| I told Allison, we're going to build a time capsule house. | ||
| It looks like the 1980s. | ||
| And we're going to raise my daughter as if it's the 80s. | ||
| And then just one day when she's old enough, we'll be like, whoa, we're in the future. | ||
| These strange devices. | ||
| It's a good thing you're an adult. | ||
| What are you thinking, like 22? | ||
| We're going to live in an underground bunker where we have nothing but 80s content because the 80s was the best decade. | ||
| We're going to be like, we live underground because the Soviets dropped a bomb and wiped everybody out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's funny. | |
| I started watching the Fallout show. | ||
| I watched that with my son. | ||
| We had fun watching that. | ||
| He knows the internet exists. | ||
| He's probably watching the show right now. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| She'll just one day wake up and it'll be the year 2030, 2040 or whatever. | ||
| 2042 or something. | ||
| Yeah, and we'll be like, where are all the gas-powered cars, Dad? | ||
| And I'll be like, we must be in the future. | ||
| How strange. | ||
| Remember the Jetsons? | ||
| Remember I showed you that? | ||
| We're here. | ||
| Ah, the internet. | ||
| What a strange thing. | ||
| Stay away from that. | ||
| You put on your hazmat suit every time just to leave and come to do the show, and you go back in there, you're like, yeah, I'm just getting us food. | ||
| The air is poison. | ||
| If you go outside, you'll die. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stay indoors until you're 20. Okay, fair enough. | |
| No, I don't know. | ||
| I think no cell phone, no internet, no social media. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| And it's really, what matters is we're looking at 2041. Like, when is this really going to matter for my child? | ||
| I mean, honestly, in 13 years? | ||
| So 2038. Who knows what social media and all of this stuff is going to look like? | ||
| For all we know by then, TikTok is gone and everyone's in Neuralink. | ||
| And then we're just like, you ain't getting Neuralink. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then she's like, but all my friends have Neuralink and they're all networked and floating around and humming to each other in a strange binary muttering. | ||
| We're like, that's not... | ||
| Like the Binar, son. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Have you guys ever seen those videos of... | ||
| And I did it one time at like an arts show in LA where they give people individual headsets and it has different music on there. | ||
| They do like the same. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| And people like kind of just hang out. | ||
| You're with each other, but you're not and everyone's dancing. | ||
| That is what you're talking about. | ||
| Quiet, quiet raves are whatever. | ||
| Yeah, and so that could be the world of people like... | ||
| So whenever I drive the Tesla, whenever I drive it, I press the auto drive. | ||
| And then I just sit there half glazed over as the car drives for me. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Oh yeah, it's a Tesla, bro. | ||
| You punch in the address, you press go, and it just drives. | ||
| You just put your hands on your lap and you sit there and you stare out the window. | ||
| They're currently safer than people. | ||
| So is not freedom, but hey. | ||
| It's safer than freedom. | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| Allison hates it. | ||
| And she's... | ||
| I'm with Allison. | ||
| She refuses to use it. | ||
| And I told her, I was like, you do realize that in 14 years, our daughter's going to be like, Mom, just let the robot drive. | ||
| Dad lets the robot drive. | ||
| And she's like, yeah, well, your father also just trusts the machine, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And then starts laughing like, that's exactly what's going to happen. | ||
| But I'm like, I don't know. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| At that point, we'll be in flying cars. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| Either that or we will have regressed and none of this will exist anymore. | ||
| There'll be solar flares. | ||
| Everything will be demagnetized. | ||
| We will have lost all the data, you know. | ||
| That's if the weather ends, though, too. | ||
| That's what that's like. | ||
| Or if just something screwy happens. | ||
| I say, look, don't be afraid of the future, but there are certain skill sets that I think human beings should try to have within themselves. | ||
| You ever watch Dr. Stone? | ||
| Oh, the anime? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's Magic School Bus for kids who like anime. | ||
| It's Magic School Bus for little boys, whereas Magic School Bus is not fun. | ||
| But it's basically this simple version. | ||
| Humanity is wiped out, long story short. | ||
| Thousands of years later, people are turned to stone. | ||
| Thousands of years later, some people wake up, and they have to build the world from scratch. | ||
| It's actually... | ||
| It's really interesting. | ||
| Yeah, it's really interesting when he's like, here's how you make... | ||
| Wax. | ||
| And, like, here's how you get magnets. | ||
| And, like, I'm like, man, I actually learned a bunch of weird survival stuff from watching that anime. | ||
| For sitting back and just kind of, like, kind of vegging out and being like, all of a sudden you're like, oh, wait, this is how you make candle wax? | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, like, finding magnets by, like, bringing iron to a river and then waving it around until you can feel the attraction. | ||
| There's, like, weird stuff they don't like. | ||
| That's, well, you know, what the Boy Scouts do and what they've done. | ||
| Dr. Stone, actually, it's a good tool now. | ||
| That's actually really sad that we don't have a Boy Scouts functional anymore. | ||
| Now, what is it, the People Scouts? | ||
| No, but there's Trail Life. | ||
| Trail Life? | ||
| There's Trail Life and this one for girls, which I always just think of as American girls, but it's not that. | ||
| But it's like Heritage or something. | ||
| But yeah, it's in a lot of churches. | ||
| And it's not necessarily run by the church, but it's its own organization. | ||
| But it's more like actual traditional Boy Scouts. | ||
| And the girls have one, and the boys have one, and the boys do adventure stuff. | ||
| And the girls stay in the kitchen and cook. | ||
| No, the girls have adventure stuff, but they also cook. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| But the boys learn how to do stuff. | ||
| They do stuff. | ||
| It's not the Boy Scouts, and it's not that big, glomm-y, probably USAID-funded organization. | ||
| Instead, it's much more just adventure stuff. | ||
| It's local. | ||
| Did you guys hear about the Girl Scout cookies being poisoned? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| No. | ||
| Oh my. | ||
| Are these the ones that are in my cupboard right now? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like the FDA. Oh my goodness, man. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| We just cut over real hard. | ||
| But apparently it has a bunch of stuff in it that is poisonous for you. | ||
| Which ones? | ||
| All of them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, when you say poisonous, what do you mean? | |
| Do you mean like red number five? | ||
| Do you mean like arsenic? | ||
| All of it. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| It's just a little bit arsenic. | ||
| Like cyanide or like, you know... | ||
| Artrazine. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| There's a difference, you know? | ||
| They're both poison. | ||
| One is a little more immediate than the other. | ||
| Yeah, I was going to say, it's just like... | ||
| RFK Jr. kinds of poison or like the little green face with the tongue sticking. | ||
| Or Tylenol had to change the whole caplet thing kind of poison. | ||
| The tongue out with the eyes getting crossed out on each side. | ||
| No. | ||
| Remember that little thing? | ||
| That little green sticker with the eyes and the tongue and your parents would stick it on stuff so the kids... | ||
| They'd be like, don't touch it. | ||
| Oh yeah, that was a 90s kid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I remember that. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| They had these little stickers with like a green face with the eyes X'd out and the tongue sticking out and parents would put it on cleaners and stuff and tell the kids that means you'll get sick. | ||
| My parents didn't do anything like that. | ||
| They'd be like... | ||
| Here's a fork. | ||
| There's an outlet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Mix that bleach and the ammonia and then go... | ||
| No, don't. | ||
| It believed you. | ||
| Obviously don't. | ||
| It believed you. | ||
| We got to jump to the story. | ||
| We got this one from ABC News speaking to RFK Jr. RFK Jr. tells staff he will investigate childhood vaccine schedule, antidepressant drugs. | ||
| We have this tweet from libs of TikTok. | ||
| Just in, RFK Jr. to investigate chronic disease, ultra-processed food, electromagnetic radiation, childhood vaccine schedule, glyphosate and pesticides, artificial food editives, SSRIs and antidepressants, microplastics and more. | ||
| I would just like to stress, YouTube, this is the HHS of the government of the United States saying this right now and... | ||
| I guess I have to say, well, the secretary of the HHS must be wrong because we are not allowed to talk to a doctor. | ||
| How about the guy who runs it? | ||
| Last Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order to establish the Maha Commission to study what has caused the precipitous decline in American health over the past two generations. | ||
| So we will convene representatives of all viewpoints to study the causes for the drastic rise in chronic disease. | ||
| Some of the possible factors we will investigate were formerly taboo or insufficiently scrutinized. | ||
| A childhood vaccine schedule, electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate, other pesticides, ultra-processed foods, artificial food allergies. | ||
| SSRI and other psychiatric drugs, PFAs, PFOAs, microplastics, nothing is going to be off-limits. | ||
| Whatever belief or suspicion I have expressed in the past, I'm willing to subject them all to the scrutiny of unbiased science. | ||
| That is going to be our template, unbiased science. | ||
| I'd just like to point out how weird it is that RFK Jr. is like... | ||
| Perhaps we should investigate these chemicals and how they affect us. | ||
| And the entirety of the Democratic Party was like... | ||
| That's so wild. | ||
| I think the rest of that video he says in Girl Scout Cookies, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's something that would make us all proud of this agency and of our role. | |
| He does say microplastics, and I'm wondering if there was like... | ||
| They're in our underwear. | ||
| Yeah, like... | ||
| RFK Jr. went to the doctor one day like 20 years ago and he's like, so how's my physical doc? | ||
| And he's like, you have plastic in your balls. | ||
| And he went, what? | ||
| And that's like started him off on this journey of like, we must stop the health epidemic. | ||
| That stuff's in everything. | ||
| Like I've been seeing all these on my stupid Instagram. | ||
| I see all these things that are like, Lululemon has microplastics in it. | ||
| Those are $200. | ||
| Like what do you mean? | ||
| You got high-end plastics. | ||
| High-end plastics. | ||
| Or like there's some companies that make jeans and they will be like, these are made from recycled plastic bottles. | ||
| So you're helping the environment. | ||
| It's like, I don't want to wear it. | ||
| No. | ||
| I don't want to drink it. | ||
| Poisoning your legs and your genitalia. | ||
| I don't want to wear it. | ||
| I don't want any piece of that. | ||
| But what's interesting is the Democrats are never going to be on board with RFK because he wants to remove SSRIs. | ||
| All of the liberal middle-aged white women are on antidepressants, and they're not willing to give that up. | ||
| Well, I mean, let's think about it. | ||
| A little Xanax, a little Chardonnay, you know, that's like the whole afternoon. | ||
| A lot of Sex and the Cities reruns. | ||
| But to your point about that, that's also how you keep your population dumb. | ||
| Right, that and then for the ones who aren't on SSRIs, you have the weed dispensaries everywhere. | ||
| They kept them open, right? | ||
| They kept them open in California. | ||
| I find it funny. | ||
| Liquor stores. | ||
| Liquor stores and strip clubs. | ||
| But churches, that's nuts. | ||
| Churches are just beyond the pale. | ||
| Churches are where you actually get infected. | ||
| But liquor stores, weed shops, and strip clubs are where... | ||
| So crazy. | ||
| I was very clear who they are. | ||
| But that childhood vaccine schedule, it made me laugh because just remembering the confirmation hearing goes, I agree with it. | ||
| It's all fine. | ||
| And I'm just thinking to myself, they just got to play the game. | ||
| Play the game, get in there, and then let's see what it really looks like. | ||
| My son had to have really major surgery at five and a half months old. | ||
| And we couldn't do the surgery if we didn't go along with the vaccine schedule and I had wanted to like do one at a time just to make sure everything was chill and we couldn't do it. | ||
| It was like, and it was like, also I wanted to keep them away from sugar. | ||
| And the way that they draw blood in babies is they give them sugar and then draw the blood. | ||
| And I was like, I don't like any of that. | ||
| Why are we doing all of this? | ||
| So there's a secret. | ||
| If you go to the, here's my recommendation to anybody having a kid. | ||
| Go to Loudoun County, Virginia. | ||
| You go to the hospital in Loudoun County, Virginia, and they will tell you, they will do whatever you want. | ||
| This is the wealthiest. | ||
| It's really rich, yeah. | ||
| It's the highest median income in the country. | ||
| Really? | ||
| It's where all... | ||
| Listen, the people in Loudoun County are the people who are getting those fat cat contracts from the government and doing nothing for it. | ||
| These people know what for, and they know what they want, and the doctors in Loudoun County are going to tell you, here's how they... | ||
| Look, when you go to the impoverished areas, they tell you that you need to get, like, the... | ||
| medication and like drops all this yeah they give you a bunch of what's this stuff yeah for like herpes or something yeah basically they if you go to a poor area the doctor is going to be like it is required that your baby get all of the drug addicted prostitution you know cures because we we think you're a filthy, dirty person. | ||
| You go to the rich area and they'll say, what do you want to do? | ||
| And you'll say, if you go to one of those wealthy areas and say, we don't trust this, that, or otherwise, they'll say, no problem. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Have a nice day. | ||
| Well, it was only because of the surgery. | ||
| Otherwise, my doctors were, like, fine with what I wanted to do, but he had to have this, I mean, he had to have cranial surgery. | ||
| But to Tim's point, he's right, like, the poorer neighborhoods, because a lot of times they don't even know what to look for, and we've gotten to a society of, you know, expert fallacy, right? | ||
| So you have so many of these people, just trust the science, so many of these doctors that come along and they go, okay, let's give your, like, the fact that we've advocated parenting as a society, Has allowed these doctors to literally want to put over 100 shots into an infant is insane. | ||
| I'm not saying that they don't work or some things don't help. | ||
| I don't even know. | ||
| But just to porcupine prick my little boy, I'm killing somebody. | ||
| I like the idea of stretching out. | ||
| Yeah, see what happens. | ||
| Yeah, it's like change the schedule. | ||
| It doesn't have to be all at once. | ||
| Doesn't that like because it's like when the first year or something like that, they're getting like 70 or something. | ||
| It's more than back in the 80s. | ||
| Stretch it out. | ||
| They don't need all of the vaccinations. | ||
| They don't need it all at once. | ||
| All at once, you know. | ||
| I saw a video of this. | ||
| I want to say he looked like he was maybe four or five. | ||
| The mom sitting there holding him and rubbing his head while these different nurses are coming in. | ||
| With different needles in his leg. | ||
| And I'm just like... | ||
| Rough. | ||
| It just can't be that bad to exist as a normal human on this planet in the richest country in the world. | ||
| It can't be. | ||
| To sit there and what looked like to me torture on a child. | ||
| Even if it helps them, to sit there and pump them full of synthetic unnatural substances over and over and over cannot be good. | ||
| And this usually comes and it was pushed on us. | ||
| That's what COVID really got me. | ||
| It was pushed on us by the side that always pushes nature. | ||
| That always pushes saving the planet. | ||
| They're done with that. | ||
| It is now the right. | ||
| The hippies have moved to the right. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Which is crazy. | ||
| They realize that the left is not their friend. | ||
| The earthy crunchies are now right-wing earthy crunchies. | ||
| There are more earthy crunchies that voted for Donald Trump than there are earthy crunchies that voted for Kamala Harris. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Oh, let's go. | ||
| Isn't it weird? | ||
| We brought this up the other day about the World Trade Organization protests. | ||
| 1999, the hippy-dippy left were being like, no globalization. | ||
| No. | ||
| And then we're talking just 15, 16 years later, Donald Trump is like, no globalization. | ||
| And they're like, he's a Nazi. | ||
| Globalization. | ||
| You're like, wait, what happened? | ||
| Well, it's different. | ||
| You don't understand. | ||
| Now we're going to vandalize Starbucks because we want globalization and massacres. | ||
| Now all the Democrats are opening Starbucks because they're trying to expand global corporate influence. | ||
| Libby, you probably know this. | ||
| You've experienced this. | ||
| During the Bush years, all the liberals were screaming, Bush is Hitler, no war. | ||
| Obama gets elected. | ||
| And they were like, ah, we're done. | ||
| And then Obama was like, I'm going to blow up kids. | ||
| And they were like, but we're cool with that because Obama's doing it. | ||
| Well, that was the amazing thing. | ||
| That was the amazing thing because, yeah, I was out there. | ||
| I was like marching against the Iraq war in New York City with the transit union in 2003 and all this stuff. | ||
| We hated George Bush. | ||
| We went to Argentina for this theater conference and everyone was like, you're terrible. | ||
| You voted for George Bush. | ||
| And we were like, we didn't do it. | ||
| It was all those other crazy people. | ||
| We live in a democracy. | ||
| That's what happens. | ||
| And then, yeah. | ||
| And everyone was just giving Obama this pass. | ||
| And I was like, you guys, he wants to have more war in Afghanistan. | ||
| Why are you chill with that? | ||
| And they were like, no, he doesn't. | ||
| He's just saying that. | ||
| Guys, he doesn't like gay marriage. | ||
| Don't you like gay marriage? | ||
| You are New York theater kids. | ||
| You love gay marriage. | ||
| And they're like, he's just saying that. | ||
| And then, of course... | ||
| You know, more war in Afghanistan. | ||
| And then as soon as he gets elected, he goes, I'm gonna blow up kids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's one of the things that I noticed, like, my left-leaning friends, I did a podcast with a buddy of mine that's left-leaning, and it was before Trump was elected the first time, and... | ||
| He was like, oh, well, you know, I'm a Hillary Clinton voter, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And I'm like, you know, I'm going to vote for Trump. | ||
| And he was like, you know, why won't you vote? | ||
| What are the biggest things that make you not want to vote for Hillary Clinton? | ||
| I was like, well, right now she's talking about a no-fly zone over Syria. | ||
| And the Russians are there now and they have an air base. | ||
| So that puts us in direct conflict with... | ||
| Russians, like, and she's talking about actually, you know, having combat and stuff against Russia. | ||
| I think that's totally reckless, and that's the reason why, like, that's really the biggest thing that's, to me, Donald Trump's talking about no more wars, no foreign wars. | ||
| She's talking about escalating existing conflicts, and I don't want to. | ||
| And all he had to say was, oh, I don't think she'll do that. | ||
| And it's like, well, you don't, then, if... | ||
| You're not paying attention. | ||
| Yeah, well, it's just like the left seems like they don't listen to what the politicians say about what they're going to do. | ||
| Or they don't pay attention to the things they do. | ||
| They only listen to a narrative that's spun about them, not what they actually say. | ||
| Well, I think it's connected. | ||
| I was actually watching... | ||
| I was watching you guys on Pop Culture Crisis the other day, and you mentioned it, but you didn't say it the way that I'm going to say it right now. | ||
| We've been living since, again, 65 was such a turning point. | ||
| We've been living in a... | ||
| Like, liberal, social liberal country. | ||
| Where even if you're right, you look at some people who say they're right now, they're still less right than they were in the late 50s, early 60s. | ||
| Because everywhere, from the schools, to music, to entertainment, and to the media. | ||
| Think about this. | ||
| I know when I ran for office and I did that sketch for Babylon B, California to move to Texas. | ||
| I was walking to neighborhoods. | ||
| I knocked on one door. | ||
| The Armenian lady opened the door and she recognized her that. | ||
| Started laughing, gave me a big hug. | ||
| And all we did was talk about the sketch. | ||
| Before I got home, she sent over $500 to my campaign. | ||
| So it showed me when you build up enough emotional cachet and storytelling and entertainment. | ||
| And you're on that side? | ||
| That's what you're really fighting against. | ||
| You're not just fighting against... | ||
| Go listen to Obama's words. | ||
| You're fighting against the whole machine that has the feeling that they're not the bad guys. | ||
| They're not the ones we need to worry about because he was dancing on stage with Ellen. | ||
| And so that's what we're really up against. | ||
| Not what the individual actually says or doesn't say. | ||
| It's what side was he hanging out with? | ||
| He can't be bad. | ||
| With Obama, he was so smart when it came to his... | ||
| Not his policy, but his campaign. | ||
| The hope and change thing was probably the smartest campaign slogan ever because he didn't have to tell anybody anything about what it meant. | ||
| Everybody heard that and they turned it into whatever it was that they believed. | ||
| And all he had to say is hope and change and people were like... | ||
| I'm on board with that. | ||
| And then they had an image in their mind. | ||
| He didn't have to articulate anything. | ||
| They did the work for him. | ||
| Especially after coming off of George Bush, starting wars, right? | ||
| And once you were able to bring Obama, then you had the white guilt playing a factor in there where it's like, it's a time now we can show ourselves we're not... | ||
| This racist country everyone says we are. | ||
| There were so many things that have been hit on so many levels that when he came along and did that, then you look into the picture he used and you're like, wait a minute, that was a communist photo? | ||
| What are we talking about when you look further in? | ||
| The marketing is so huge. | ||
| That's why shows like this, what Daily Wire, what Babylon Bee, what PragerU are doing, has not only upset them so much starting in about 2015, 2016, but like... | ||
| It is so vitally important and we need to continue to build, continue to do more music and more scripted content so that we capture these 20-year-olds who are looking around for something to grab onto. | ||
| They've grabbed onto Trump. | ||
| They grab onto Tim and these different groups. | ||
| We need to continue to build it. | ||
| Yeah, I don't remember the exact number, but the generation that has the highest approval rate of Trump is like Gen Z, young people. | ||
| I think it was Gen X. Was it Gen X? Gen X is what got Trump elected. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| We finally did something right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How old are you? | ||
| 45, man. | ||
| 45 and free. | ||
| So you're just on the end, though. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It still counts, dude. | ||
| Don't take it away from me. | ||
| I'm celebrating. | ||
| He goes, ah, you're just at the end of the door. | ||
| You're the back of the line. | ||
| Yeah, what do they call that? | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we finally did something instead of nihilistic music. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I posted that on X after I was like, Gen X saves the world. | ||
| Finally, I knew we could do it. | ||
| Aren't you guys the Pepsi generation? | ||
| I didn't drink Pepsi. | ||
| That's so stupid. | ||
| They actually called it the generation. | ||
| Get a bunch of sugar water. | ||
| Dump it down your gullet. | ||
| Millennials don't drink soda, and Gen Z doesn't drink soda either. | ||
| I don't drink soda. | ||
| There's no soda in my house. | ||
| We drink Spindrifts. | ||
| I was going to say, I do get involved in a little bit of... | ||
| This is not soda, though. | ||
| You look at the ingredients on it. | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| It's the soda water. | ||
| The Gen X shows definitely did the whole Thanos thing. | ||
| Like, fine, we'll do it ourselves. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We should have done it 10 years ago. | ||
| I know. | ||
| 10 years ago, we were high. | ||
| We're shocked, right? | ||
| What did it call it? | ||
| You act 10 years younger than you are. | ||
| The Peter Pan syndrome. | ||
| Well, that's because with the Gen X, our parents' generation, the boomers, they're so obsessed with being young that they never let us actually be grown-ups. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| They still call us the kids. | ||
| My mom is like 75. I'm like, Mom, I'm almost 50. I'm not a kid at this point. | ||
| Mom, I'm halfway there! | ||
| My wife's mom said that when we were getting married kind of quickly. | ||
| She was like, let the kids do what they want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm like, I'm 43. I'm sick of that. | |
| I am. | ||
| The kids thing? | ||
| Just this perpetual you are a child from the older generations, and it persists to this day, and it is destructive to society. | ||
| At a certain point, a 70-year-old needs to say, hey, you're an old man, Phil. | ||
| Welcome to the club. | ||
| Yeah, what I keep saying to my kid is you're halfway to being a man. | ||
| You're nearly a man. | ||
| You have to take care of these things yourself. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You be an adult. | ||
| I think part of it, you look at our government, is because the people running our government didn't ever want to give up power. | ||
| So if they never want to move on, that's why I love J.D. Vance's Trump. | ||
| And we saw her pick Walt. | ||
| She picked old. | ||
| He picked the next generation. | ||
| Well, and she kept talking about it being the next generation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sorry. | |
| Yeah, which was something that I'm like, that guy? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The bald and old dude? | ||
| The tuna tacos? | ||
| And the spirit fingers? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Gen Z, you're all adults and you're losers. | ||
| You know why I'm saying that? | ||
| Because I'm sick of it being the other way around. | ||
| Where, when I was growing up... | ||
| I was like, yo, legit, I'm 38, I'm gonna be 39 in three weeks, and I go to the poker tables, and a lot of retirees like to sit and play poker, and these guys are 70, and they're like, eh, let the kid do his thing. | ||
| I'm like, I am 40 years old. | ||
| I am an old man. | ||
| I'm like, I wish I was 40. And I'll be like, okay, yeah, I get it. | ||
| But we're all old. | ||
| Gen Z, if you are 24 years old, you are an adult, and you are several years into being an adult. | ||
| And it's about time to be an adult. | ||
| I'm not saying that to disparage Gen Z. I'm saying it to be the stodgy old man being like, get off my lawn! | ||
| It's fun to say that. | ||
| I heard a young lady talking. | ||
| I heard a young lady talking about, it was on a TikTok, and she said, I'm just a 27. 27-year-old teenage girl. | ||
| Is she like a trans-age? | ||
| 27, you're like... | ||
| This speaks to the whole dragging out childhood and refusing to be responsible. | ||
| There's a meme about women and being responsible and accountable and stuff, and that just really kind of hit Drew. | ||
| 27-year-old teenage girl, like what? | ||
| Here's what's really crazy, is that... | ||
| There are a lot of prominent female celebrities who are in their 30s who don't have kids and are never going to have them. | ||
| And it's wild to me because it's like you can pretend to be a child all you want. | ||
| You can claim you're still young. | ||
| You know, hey, look, we live longer than ever these days. | ||
| You know, 80, whatever, Trump's 80s president, 30 is not old. | ||
| And it's like, ma'am, 35 is called geriatric pregnancy. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You are, like, humans are adults at 18 years old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You got a long time after that to do a lot of stuff, but you are an adult that needs to do adult things. | ||
| And millennials are in their 30s going, oh, I hate adulting. | ||
| And it's like, bro, you're old. | ||
| You're 30. You're old. | ||
| Yeah, you can't say that anymore. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's not called adulting. | ||
| It's just like, you know, surviving. | ||
| Surviving. | ||
| Getting by. | ||
| Just go ahead and get by like the rest of us. | ||
| I genuinely think one of the issues is that boomers perpetually call anyone younger than them children. | ||
| And I'm like, you guys gotta stop doing that, man. | ||
| If you're a boomer out there, it's time to look a 26-year-old Gen Z kid in the face and say, you're old, you're a man, shut up and get to work. | ||
| Right. | ||
| No, you're right. | ||
| And part of the blame, the left just wants to keep us in this childish mindset. | ||
| But if you look at someone, when I heard how old Taylor Swift was, I was like, and she's out there like, Jumping around and moving like she is a 22-year-old girl. | ||
| Even some of her songs play like, hey, I'm still just a girl. | ||
| She's never going to have kids, is she? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| She's 35. I see people will tweet stuff being like, wow, she's 35, she's going to have kids. | ||
| They're like, that's so gross that you care, leave her alone, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And I'm like... | ||
| This is what humans do. | ||
| That's literally what the... | ||
| Also, I really don't care what you people think. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| I've seen what... | ||
| Hold on, what's the quote? | ||
| I've seen what makes you cheer. | ||
| No, it's like, your boos mean nothing. | ||
| I've seen what makes you cheer. | ||
| That's a great quote. | ||
| That was Rick and Morty. | ||
| Justin Roiland, man. | ||
| And then they destroyed his career and ruined the show. | ||
| I am deeply disappointed. | ||
| That show went really dark after season three, though. | ||
| I was like, what's going on, guys? | ||
| Your boos mean nothing. | ||
| I've seen what makes you cheer. | ||
| So these liberals are like, why are you asking about whether you're going to have a kid or not? | ||
| That's so weird and creepy. | ||
| And I'm like, I don't care. | ||
| You can think whatever you want. | ||
| You're weirdos. | ||
| It's also just true. | ||
| It doesn't matter if it's creepy. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| But to your point there, too, the reason why I even see them push so much abortion, these liberals, and starting from the boomers, there is no sense of legacy. | ||
| So there's no sense of the next generation carrying on because they think we're living forever. | ||
| Everyone, 40s, the new 30s, 30s, the new 18s. | ||
| Where's our sense of legacy? | ||
| That's where most countries are founded on. | ||
| I watched Austin Powers this weekend. | ||
| What an amazingly hilarious show. | ||
| A movie, sorry. | ||
| The first one? | ||
| I mean, they're all really good. | ||
| And I was just thinking to myself, because when Austin Powers thaws him... | ||
| Okay, I assume everybody knows the movie, but maybe there's some young people watching. | ||
| Spoiler alert. | ||
| Yeah, it came out in 1997. He's a British gentleman spy who freezes himself so that in case Dr. Evil ever unfreezes himself, they can bring him back. | ||
| So in the future, they're like, how are you doing? | ||
| And he's like, so long as we're living in a carefree society that does drugs, experiments, and has insane amounts of sex without an afterthought, I'm doing great. | ||
| And they look around at him, and I'm just thinking to myself, the joke was that's what they were doing in the 70s. | ||
| And I'm like, man, talk about whoever raised that generation and let that happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I mean, that's crazy to me. | ||
| But, you know, they say it's the four seasons, it's the fourth turning, etc. | ||
| You know, wealth lasts three generations. | ||
| I'm just thinking now about... | ||
| For one thing, I will always give the boomer Star Trek The Next Generation. | ||
| That was great. | ||
| I love that show. | ||
| But every generation is more and more lax on the next until it all crumbles and falls apart. | ||
| Well, that's like what happens with people who have more than one kid, right? | ||
| Like, I was talking to my brother about this the other day, and I'm the oldest, and everybody's half, so it's like we were all raised by different parents, even when they were the same parents, but whatever. | ||
| My dad was super strict with me, like, so strict. | ||
| I couldn't wear mini skirts. | ||
| You know, no makeup, like just very strict. | ||
| And then with my brother, he was a little crazier. | ||
| And then our younger sisters, like, they kind of just did whatever they wanted. | ||
| We got to go to Super Chat. | ||
| So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button and share the show with everyone, you know. | ||
| Sharing is how podcasts get big. | ||
| So if you ever wonder, like, how is that show the biggest show ever? | ||
| It's because people watch it and listen, and they tell their friends, like, yo, you ever listen to this show? | ||
| So if you guys really like Timcast IRL, that would be greatly appreciated, because if every single person who watched every night would share the URL and tell their family and friends, we would be the biggest podcast in the world overnight. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| Also, we're going to have the Uncensored Call-In Show coming up at 10pm. | ||

| But let's grab your Super Chats for now. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Cal says, y'all may be waiting until after some franchise is open, but can Cast Brew add a Find Cast Brew Coffee map to their site that shows wholesalers and other small businesses who are selling Cast Brew Coffee? | ||
| That is a good idea. | ||
| I think the number is rather small. | ||
| I will say, Cast Brew is massively successful, thanks to all of you. | ||
| You've put Ian through college. | ||
| So, I'll just give you a quick update. | ||
| We order custom printed bags. | ||
| The way it works is the bags get made and there's a huge stack in a warehouse. | ||
| Then we roast small batches of the blend. | ||
| I don't know the exact number of batches, but we try to make sure that we want it to be fresh to order. | ||
| So we have 5,350 bags ordered, thinking that should last us the year, right? | ||
| Ian sells it all out in a month of Ian's Graphene Dream, his low-acidity coffee blend. | ||
| And we were like, that was supposed to last a year. | ||
| So everyone's hitting us up, being like, we want more of this. | ||
| And I'm like, it takes six weeks to make bags. | ||
| Whoa, really? | ||
| He sold... | ||
| So much of it we did not expect. | ||
| We printed another couple thousand, sold them all out. | ||
| We printed another couple thousand, people are buying them faster than we can print the bags. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| And Ian's sitting here all iced up with gold chains being like, not really, I'm kidding, but the joke is, you're putting him through college. | ||
| But it's Ian's signature blend. | ||
| Of course he gets a royalty on all of this stuff too. | ||
| I don't think Ian cares. | ||
| It's his likeness and everything. | ||
| But our number one coffee used to be Appalachian Nights, and now Ian has just taken over. | ||
| And so we're trying to come up with other ways to create low-acidity coffee blends in the graphene branding. | ||
| We've got a couple ideas. | ||
| We may be able to do a half-calf lower acidity. | ||
| You can't do decaf, but working on it. | ||
| You call it lowflation. | ||
| I joke that we should do Ian's Graphene Nightmare, and it's high-acidity coffee. | ||
| It just burns your mouth when you're drinking it. | ||
| Who wants that? | ||
| It gets you just going. | ||
| You're like... | ||
| And then your stomach just rivels. | ||
| Yeah, you're like... | ||
| All right. | ||
| BrownBear992 says, so West Virginia is Delaware 2.0. | ||
| No, I actually think West Virginia is inverted. | ||
| See, the issue is this law was passed several years ago. | ||
| There's a new administration in town, and Republicans have recently taken over. | ||
| Riley Moore is absolutely fantastic. | ||
| He reps us to the federal government, though, so he's not at the state level anymore. | ||
| And the people I know in government have been incredibly helpful. | ||
| In trying to assist with these issues, I am just – there's a lot going on. | ||
| I felt like if the government here was sincere and that these laws should not be enforced as is, they wouldn't keep trying to enforce it. | ||
| And let me tell you guys, when we get the state coming at us and pulling this BS, we have to go to our tax attorneys. | ||
| And we end up having to spend like $10,000. | ||
| To negotiate and figure out what the problem is. | ||
| Then they come to us and say, you gotta pay high five figures now because we don't allow contracting in this state. | ||
| And so I'm livid. | ||
| And I'm like, you know what, man? | ||
| They want to see a penny out of me? | ||
| I'd rather give all of that money to my lawyer and just say, have fun, we're leaving. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| I do think West Virginia can improve. | ||
| I'm hoping that's the case. | ||
| But I ain't playing games. | ||
| For some time now, we've been looking at the best course of action in this capacity. | ||
| We want to be close to D.C. for obvious reasons. | ||
| Maryland is fairly bad for a state. | ||
| Yeah, really bad. | ||
| It's a terrifying state to be a gun owner. | ||
| Maryland. | ||
| Yeah, Maryland is a terrifying state to be a gun owner. | ||
| They ban random things for no reason and you don't know what or why. | ||
| If you want to know if your gun is illegal, you have to look up a list and go through all of the individual specific guns they ban. | ||
| Oh, that's crazy. | ||
| And then you're like, why is that one gun banned but this one not? | ||
| There's no reason. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, like, so they'll say something like, no, no, we're not that crazy. | ||
| It is totally legal for you to have your weapon in your vehicle so long as the ammo is separated in a different compartment. | ||
| So if you're transporting a long gun or a handgun, just separate, and then you drive through, they get pulled over, and they go, oh, but that gun? | ||
| No, that gun's a felony. | ||
| It's one of those things, huh? | ||
| They do that with the housing market over in California when they want to start to regulate new houses. | ||
| They'll not give people certain permits or certain waivers going in if they want to do Airbnb. | ||
| And they'll be like, oh, you got the standards. | ||
| And he's like, oh, what do I need to do? | ||
| They go, we got to come out and see. | ||
| You're like, uh-oh. | ||
| Well, Pennsylvania is a potential. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, Pennsylvania is only 40 minutes away from us. | ||
| So we call it the tri-state because There's a point where you literally can, in one minute, hit all three states. | ||
| But if you go 40 minutes north, you're in Pennsylvania. | ||
| I mean, I know the Trump administration is talking about getting Congress to pass the constitutional carry laws that these places can't. | ||
| Reciprocity. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| Then Maryland would open up. | ||
| Yeah, but then, like, these states are evil. | ||
| They will still arrest you and say, yeah, then go to court and see if the Supreme Court sides with you. | ||
| So after two years of being in state prison... | ||
| And also, you need to understand that if you're not in a stand-your-ground state, defending yourself with a gun, they will still charge you as if you committed murder. | ||
| So it's not just legal to have the gun. | ||
| It has to be legal to defend your life, and stand-your-ground laws are important for you. | ||
| California, so the rule is, so if my wife and I are in the house, The guy's, like, standing there. | ||
| He broke in with a knife. | ||
| If I shoot him, I'm in trouble. | ||
| He has to be coming at me. | ||
| But if she shot him, it's fine because she just, the threat to her life or of her size. | ||
| So I could be standing next to her and give her the gun. | ||
| She'd be like, pop! | ||
| And everything's all right. | ||
| Here's the last thing I'll say about West Virginia. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Is that the question is, where would you go and is it worth it? | ||
| Some people have told me just work with the state to change the law. | ||
| I will tell you what I expect the state to do. | ||
| They're going to have a meeting. | ||
| They're going to say, you know, this Tim Pool guy's got a big show and he's been spitting and yelling. | ||
| He's upset about this law. | ||
| And they're going to say, that law generates $750 million a year. | ||
| And they go, really? | ||
| Yeah, by banning independent contract work and forcing people to be our slaves in the state, we make a lot of money. | ||
| And they can't fight back. | ||
| This Tim Pool guy's just throwing it aside, let him leave. | ||
| Likely why... | ||
| When we get back on the phone with the state auditor, they're like, you owe us high five figures. | ||
| And we were like, yo, this guy literally qualifies as a contractor under your law. | ||
| I'm like, we don't care. | ||
| So I'll break it down for you. | ||
| We've got talent that has no schedule, has no production instruction, can literally go wherever they want, whenever they want, and do whatever they want. | ||
| The contract is, you're on retainer, to produce promotional content to promote the brand. | ||
| At your leisure. | ||
| At your leisure. | ||
| And they said, that's an employee. | ||
| And I said, no, it isn't. | ||
| It doesn't do anything. | ||
| We're contracting a sponsorship. | ||
| They said, we don't care. | ||
| You owe us back taxes on every single penny you paid them. | ||
| And I'm like, they're trying to get us to leave the state. | ||
| Why not get some of these business owners around here to kind of... | ||
| Well, everybody's pissed. | ||
| A bunch of people have hit me up saying they've been fighting it for a long time, but they have no voice. | ||
| So I'm sure West Virginia's attitude is the sooner Tim Pool leaves, the better, because the average person of West Virginia has no means of fighting back against the state. | ||
| That's not reasonable because, I mean, this is a really beautiful state, and it's a downtrodden state. | ||
| It's a poor state, and people need more opportunity here, not less. | ||
| Do you know how many hotspot mini casinos are on the street next to where we are? | ||
| There's a lot, right? | ||
| There's like 15 within two or three miles. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Yeah, the state cares more about creating these addictions. | ||
| It is nuts. | ||
| I don't know how they operate. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| You drive down the street. | ||
| So all the strip clubs have turned into mini casinos where they run a bunch of slot machines. | ||
| Yeah, put it together, you know what I mean? | ||
| And people show up, and they've got booze, and it's slot machines everywhere. | ||
| They call it limited video lottery. | ||
| And when we pull out here and we want to go drive to the local pizza place or whatever, we drive past probably 15. And I'm sitting here being like, how are they all in business? | ||
| And the creepy thing is, many of these buildings are nondescript houses and old. | ||
| They look abandoned. | ||
| And there will just be a sign saying, Virginia Lottery. | ||
| You open the door, it's perfect and clean inside. | ||
| No windows, 10 slot machines, and they're selling booze. | ||
| This is what West Virginia has been doing. | ||
| Hotspots, they call it. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| And, you know, this is why I look at the state and I'm like, well, you got to get in at the bottom. | ||
| You got to buy the dip. | ||
| You got to come in and you got to invest. | ||
| You got to build up. | ||
| And it's impossible to run a media company. | ||
| I mean, look, let's just put it simply. | ||
| If I go to a plumber and I'm like, hey, can we get a contract so that you can come and regularly deal with septic and plumbing? | ||
| No, because that would make me an employee. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| So my... | ||
| Company has to hire a full-time plumber? | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| That's not reasonable. | ||
| Yep, that's West Virginia. | ||
| It's not reasonable at all. | ||
| Now it's selective enforcement. | ||
| Because there's a lot of plumbers in the state, they're going to be like, oh, well, a plumber's okay, but an IT guy isn't. | ||
| Because we have an IT guy in retainer, which will literally be like, hey, we need something developed, and we want them on retainer because they work for a handful of clients. | ||
| But they give us a certain amount of hours guaranteed. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Employee now. | ||
| And I'm like, they don't even live in the state. | ||
| They have no set schedule. | ||
| They don't have to be anywhere. | ||
| It's literally just, we want hours guaranteed because we need them. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| Employee. | ||
| I think you can get a lot of business owners to back you on this without the bat signal, basically. | ||
| But they all already do. | ||
| They're all pissed off about it. | ||
| And the state doesn't care. | ||
| Maybe the new administration may change it, but again, my attitude is, once that administration sits down and they say, we do $750 million off this law, they're going to be like, okay, screw it. | ||
| Let him leave. | ||
| Because if one guy leaves and the taxes are nowhere near that significant for what we operate and the PR is bad, so what? | ||
| Once he leaves, he'll stop talking about it. | ||
| One year from then, we'll recover and we're going to be doing a billion dollars and ripping off the workers in West Virginia. | ||
| With these slot machine things. | ||
| No, just in forcing you to be an employee. | ||
| Again, if you are an individual who works for three clients, the state has now mandated that you pick one of them, and if that company doesn't want you to be an employee because they only need you for three hours a week, they're not going to hire you. | ||
| The state's basically like, we don't care, we get money from you. | ||
| Right, we don't care if you can employ yourself or not. | ||
| This is the you will live in the pot and eat the bugs. | ||
| This law, and they're passing it everywhere. | ||
| I kid you not. | ||
| No, it's a very bad law. | ||
| Your kids are going to be like, Dad, I need money. | ||
| Well, go mow lawns. | ||
| What do you mean mow lawns? | ||
| Go mow your neighbor's lawns. | ||
| I used to go out as a kid, knock on the doors, can we rake your leaves for five bucks? | ||
| And they'd be like, sure. | ||
| Sometimes you get lucky, an old man would be like, you did a good job. | ||
| Here's 20. And we'd be like, ah! | ||
| And it would snow. | ||
| Can we shovel your walkway for money? | ||
| And then sometimes you get a bad person. | ||
| They're like, you didn't shovel it good enough. | ||
| I ain't giving you nothing. | ||
| You're like, oh, come on, man. | ||
| That was learning how to do business. | ||
| That's illegal in West Virginia. | ||
| It weakens the individual. | ||
| When you talk about learning to do business, the thing you brought up earlier, being able to go, why would I go to school when I can just go make money? | ||
| Like, just what you described made sense to me. | ||
| I never really had to do that. | ||
| By the time our kids are 20, it's going to be worse than this. | ||
| This law is now. | ||
| This law's passed. | ||
| 20 years from now, it's going to be like, hey, Dad, can I borrow 50 bucks to get a license to get a job? | ||
| And you're going to be like, oh, you're filing your worker requirements permit? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, here's 50 bucks. | ||
| Okay, and then I've got the workers test on Saturday. | ||
| Can you drive me there? | ||
| And then, so then, I swear to God, I'm saying. | ||
| Well, that's already true for government jobs. | ||
| You have to, like, you know. | ||
| I'm saying that there's a 20-year-old, 20 years from now, the kid's going to have to get the employment permit, and they're going to have to take their employment permits test, you know, employment license test. | ||
| It's like, well, you're 20? | ||
| You can get your employment permit. | ||
| Employment permit allows you to work only at Walmart. | ||
| And Amazon. | ||
| Or these four places or whatever, yeah. | ||
| For minimum wage. | ||
| And then once you get your employment license, you're allowed to get a salary at somewhere else. | ||
| That's where we're going. | ||
| These laws have to be repealed. | ||
| They have to be fought against because, again, like we were talking about earlier, like, you're ostensibly in a free country. | ||
| You should be able to just say, hey... | ||
| Can I do this work for you? | ||
| Can I do this thing for you? | ||
| And this is when they say, oh, well, capitalism! | ||
| No, this is crony capitalism. | ||
| It's also because of the unions, right? | ||
| Because the unions all want their dues, and the unions can't get dues from people who are working for themselves. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And that was Biden's big push, and that was California's big push. | ||
| We've got to grab one more before we go to that uncensored show. | ||
| Mr. Sombra says, Tim, check around Pittsburgh, PA, near the airport. | ||
| We like Pittsburgh. | ||
| Pittsburgh's very fun. | ||
| That airport. | ||
| Have you been to an airport? | ||
| No, but the issue is we want to be close enough to D.C. So if we were just an hour and a half north of D.C. in PA, it's possible. | ||
| But that is a challenge. | ||
| We want to be close enough to D.C. We were actually looking at studio stuff in Virginia, but Virginia's really bad because it's a deep state stronghold. | ||
| Meaning, yeah, the laws may be better. | ||
| But the government agents will come and just put the boot on our necks because they're evil deep state shills. | ||
| Maryland... | ||
| Wait six months. | ||
| We didn't have issues with Maryland when we were there. | ||
| They did not care. | ||
| This never came up. | ||
| West Virginia... | ||
| Here's the problem I see with West Virginia. | ||
| Because they are a poorer state, they got a magnifying glass on everyone to try and extract as much as they can from you. | ||
| Whereas Maryland is like, we don't give a crap about some studio in western Maryland. | ||
| We got Baltimore to worry about in the D.C. metro. | ||
