| Thank you. | ||
| Targeting the Trump family for, well, I don't want to get too much into it, but for inappropriate reasons and talking about cheating on his wife and going after teenagers. | ||
| Yeah, this is wild. | ||
| Reporter Nick Sorter. | ||
| I don't want to go too much on it just yet because we want to have him break the story down, but published a video where he confronted Eric Swalwell and said there's, I believe, an hour and a half of audio recording in public, in public of Swalwell gloating, laughing, and admitting to how he abuses power, wanted to abuse power, and how he was involved in... | ||
| Let me pause. | ||
| Madison Cawthorn was right. | ||
| If you know what that means, you know what that means. | ||
| But we're really early in the show. | ||
| We try to keep it family friendly. | ||
| And Madison Cawthorn warned about how in Congress, in D.C., there's a lot of adults that get together and take their clothes off, if you know what I mean. | ||
| And Swalwell basically is admitting to this. | ||
| So this is going to get pretty wild. | ||
| We're going to get into the nitty-gritty with Nick, who was there, witnessed it, recorded it, and hear about exactly what went down. | ||
| What I can say is I've seen photos. | ||
| I've seen recordings. | ||
| I don't know what's on the recordings, but I know that he's got this stuff, and it looks like this is going to be a massive story exposing deep Democrat corruption. | ||
| So, I mean, we've got a lot of stuff to talk about, seriously. | ||
| They're calling it a hacker. | ||
| I don't know if it's a hacker, but at the Housing and Urban Development meeting, somebody blasting all the TV's AI video of Trump licking Elon Musk. | ||
| His feet, it's very weird. | ||
| I've got to admit, kind of funny, but we'll talk about that. | ||
| And then, the story from the other day, but I think it's very relevant now. | ||
| CNN. Wrote a story saying that high-level officials at the CIA are concerned that the layoffs are going to result in people betraying the United States and selling American secrets. | ||
| As if to imply that there are traitors working at the CIA, and they have been for some time, which is really weird for them to admit. | ||
| So we'll get into all of that, plus Trump cheering for the Gulf of America. | ||
| Before we do, my friends, we've got a great sponsor tonight, Tax Network USA. Make sure you guys go to TNUSA.com slash Tim. | ||
| Thank you to Tax Network USA for sponsoring the show. | ||
| The IRS is the largest collection agency in the world. | ||

| The longer you do, the worse it gets. | ||
| Ignoring your tax troubles is the worst thing you can do. | ||
| April 15th marks another tax year that has passed you by. | ||

| April 15th is just around the corner. | ||
| Act now. | ||
| The IRS acts first. | ||
| And I want to say this, a little personal message. | ||
| I've got friends who are dealing with some of this stuff. | ||
| I personally recommended Tax Network USA to them. | ||
| Told them they should reach out and get this stuff resolved. | ||
| I'm saying that literally outside of the sponsor. | ||
| These guys are great. | ||
| Also, don't forget, go to castbrew.com. | ||
| Ian sold all of his coffee. | ||
| It's gone. | ||
| I'm going to beg him to go to school with the money he's earned from the sales. | ||
| You know he needs it. | ||
| But we do have Appalachian Nights still, our all-time bestseller, despite the fact that Ian's graphene dream has overtaken in the past month. | ||
| Support Cast Brew Coffee. | ||
| It is our coffee company. | ||
| We sponsor ourselves. | ||
| It's the best coffee everyone agrees. | ||
| At least that's what I've been told. | ||
| And as always... | ||
| Check out the Green Room show. | ||
| Today was pretty wild, actually, and I think it's going to be over an hour long. | ||
| We were largely just hanging out backstage talking about TV shows, and then Nick comes in, and you guys got to watch this Green Room episode when it comes up tonight, okay? | ||
| This is Rumble Premium. | ||
| Go to rumble.com slash timcast IRL. Sign up for Premium. | ||
| Watch it when it goes live, because you're going to see the raw reaction to all of us learning about the story that Nick is going to tell us right now, which is absolutely insane, but the behind-the-scenes is really interesting as he's basically breaking this down. | ||
| And it's fun behind-the-scenes stuff. | ||
| We've got a bunch of behind-the-scenes content. | ||
| Check that out. | ||

| Shout-out to Roman Nation and Quiet Bard Podcast, who launched from our Discord server. | ||
| As I already mentioned, joining us tonight to talk about this, and... | ||
| Let's just say this story is Nick Sorter. | ||
| What is up? | ||
| Appreciate you having me, Tim. | ||
| It's good timing to be here, be able to talk about this stuff. | ||
| There's a lot of stuff that I haven't posted about yet that we talked about a little bit earlier when I first came in. | ||
| Because this is a juicy story. | ||
| We're talking about an hour and a half of sitting there with Eric Swalwell, a drunk Eric Swalwell, listening to him spill everything to people that he doesn't even know, but they keep buying him drinks and everything. | ||
| There's so much to digest. | ||
| That tweet that I made was... | ||
| Six paragraphs long, and I still couldn't fit everything into it. | ||
| And we're going to get into it, but just quick, real quick. | ||
| He was actually talking about using his powers in Congress corruptly. | ||
| Corruptly, absolutely. | ||
| To target the Trump family. | ||
| Bragging about it and laughing while drinking. | ||
| Right, absolutely. | ||
| With people that he had just met yesterday. | ||
| And then cheating on his wife. | ||
| And then cheating on his wife. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Openly. | |
| It's like the entire restaurant could hear it. | ||
| It was crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, all right. | |
| This is going to be wild, but... | ||
| We also have another guest, the man who gave birth to the Gulf of America himself, Kevin Posobiec. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Indeed. | |
| Thanks for having me on, Tim. | ||
| Kevin Posobiec, co-host of Human Events Daily. | ||
| Great to meet you. | ||
| So, people may not know this, but you had that post, like, what is it, like a year ago, where you were on a jet ski or something, and you were like, Gulf of America, baby! | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right, that's right. | |
| Yeah, it was April 20th. | ||
| Go figure. | ||
| But, yeah, me and my buddy, my buddy Johnny. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| From Tampa. | ||
| We're out there just ripping along. | ||
| Did somebody see it and say, hey Trump, check this out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what they're saying. | |
| That's what they're saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Somebody retweeted it, you know, who also comes on this show quite often, but yeah, somebody retweeted it and then... | |
| On down the line. | ||
| I'm hearing that Trump is going to declare May 15th now. | ||
| I think that was the date. | ||
| I think that's going to be Sir Kevin Posobiec Day, the discoverer of the Gulf of America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| That's right. | ||
| I want a statue. | ||
| I'm up there with Christopher Columbus. | ||
| Well, thanks for hanging out. | ||
| We got Libby hanging out as well. | ||
| I'm Libby Emmons. | ||
| I'm hanging out. | ||
| I'm with the Postmillennial and Human Events. | ||
| Really glad to be here with you guys tonight. | ||
| Phil's here. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Before we get into this, I'm going to take this time to give a message to the people who work here. | ||
| Can someone get the AC turned on? | ||
| Because it's like it got really hot out and the heat was on and it's ridiculously hot in this building. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I'm perfectly comfy, I've got to say. | ||
| Yeah, no way. | ||
| We're going to drop it down to 30 degrees in here. | ||
| Phil, would you text, message somebody? | ||
| I don't know how to work the AC in this building. | ||
| Who am I? Let's jump into this story. | ||
| Dude, this tweet is nuts. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So at 1 o'clock... | ||
| Nick Sorder, who's sitting right here, tweets, exclusive Eric Swalwell panics when I ask about his Chinese spy girlfriend. | ||
| It's Fang Fang, in fact. | ||
| Oh, no, not Fang Fang. | ||
| Not Fang Fang Fang. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| And whether that's a bigger national security threat than Elon Musk. | ||
| I sat next to a drunk Swalwell at dinner for 90 minutes. | ||
| He was immediately compromised by a group of lobbyists he'd just met, spilling intimate details about his job and asking for help cheating on his wife. | ||
| Massive national security threat. | ||
| This guy should have his clearances revoked. | ||
| Swalwell spent his dinner bragging about orgies on Capitol Hill, telling them he's bored of his wife and only wants to teens. | ||
| Oh, tens. | ||
| Sorry, tens. | ||
| Did I say teens in the intro? | ||
| I meant tens. | ||
| Worse, he spoke about abusing his power on the House Intel Committee, which he's since been booted off of, saying he pushed to subpoena Ivanka Trump because she's hot AF. This guy must be removed from the Homeland Security Committee. | ||
| He cannot keep his freaking mouth shut. | ||
| After I began questioning him, Swalwell jumped back into the group of lobbyists to hide from me, but I pressed on. | ||
| Dude looked absolutely terrified, 100% guilty. | ||
| He knows he's been caught. | ||
| So here's actually some of the video. | ||
| Now, this video, it's got 30,000 retweets already, 10 million views. | ||
| Well, this is just a video of Swalwell being questioned. | ||
| So as I understand it, as we are getting ready for the show, you've got recordings, and you've got photos. | ||
| Of him in this public event, and my understanding is you are sitting in a public place, minding your own business when he sits down, again, in a public place, and then just starts bloviating. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| I mean, yeah, I went to, I just took my girlfriend to dinner. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| I was going there. | ||
| I was tired. | ||
| I just wanted to go somewhere close to where I was staying at the time. | ||
| Let's just say I'm going to move from where that location was because, you know, after you do something like this, you know, they're like watching to see where I'm going and stuff, and it was just, it was a little bit, A little bit weird. | ||
| I really don't trust these people. | ||
| Let's just say that much. | ||
| But, you know, we're sitting there. | ||
| I'm eating. | ||
| I just ordered my food. | ||
| And there's tables open. | ||
| I mean, we're talking 10 o'clock at night. | ||
| So it wasn't exactly crowded at this restaurant. | ||
| And for whatever reason, with all the tables open in the restaurant, he sits right next to me. | ||
| I mean, directly within. | ||
| I could hear every word coming out of his mouth. | ||
| And so could, you know, my. | ||
| My phone, you know, I was talking to my girlfriend, we were talking about the German elections, and, you know, we were going to do a video, and so I sit here, and all I did, I had my phone recording, and it's directly in front of me, but my phone was able to hear literally everything that was going on in the direct vicinity, and the guy was screaming. | ||
| It's like everybody in the restaurant was able to hear what he was saying, and he didn't care. | ||
| I don't know, you know, I don't know if he was drunk before he got there, or they got him drunk once he got there. | ||
| I mean, he only had, you know, he had a few... | ||
| He whines, but he started just going off, just spouting off immediately as he got there. | ||
| Let's start this. | ||
| I'm aware of who Swalwell is. | ||
| I know a lot of people are. | ||
| He's the guy who famously, I believe he broke wind while on MSNBC. Was that the story? | ||
| It was loud. | ||
| It almost sounds fake, but it was... | ||
| We will pull this up. | ||
| And then MSNBC, I believe, claimed that it was a mug moving across a desk, which is just literally not true. | ||
| And he got roasted by everybody. | ||
| But anyway, I digress. | ||
| This was five years ago. | ||
| He was on the House Intelligence Committee. | ||
| And can you give us a little background of what this guy's involved with and why this story is so big? | ||
| Yeah, and so years ago, one of the things that Eric Swalwell was most famous for was dating a chick named Fang Fang, or Fang Fang, whatever you want to say, who ended up being a Chinese spy. | ||
| He dated her for a long time, and it was finally outed. | ||
| The only good thing that Kevin McCarthy ever did was kick Swalwell off of the Intelligence Committee. | ||
| But the problem is now he's still on the Homeland Security Committee, which is a problem, which means he's got a clearance. | ||
| That means he's getting confidential information. | ||
| And all it takes for him to start spouting off to random people that he just met, he didn't know these lobbyist names. | ||
| They had to tell him their names when he first met them. | ||
| And it took maybe 10 minutes for him to start divulging information about him trying to cheat on his wife. | ||
| Just real quick for some... | ||
| Irreverent context. | ||
| This is Eric Swalwell. | ||
| Can we pull this one up? | ||
| Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. | ||
| And the complaint that I've heard from Republicans... | ||
| You heard him pause. | ||
| He moved back. | ||
| He sat back and paused. | ||
| This was a big story because he was on the Intelligence Committee talking about Trump, the Ukraine scandal, and Trump's impeachment. | ||
| This was... | ||
| I'm pulling this up because, look, with all due respect, this was one of his most notable moments. | ||
| I'm not... | ||
| But it's true. | ||
| It is funny, and people make fun of him for it. | ||
| But most people don't know who this guy is or why it matters. | ||
| Here he is on MSNBC accusing Donald Trump of cheating or trying to by soliciting support from the Ukrainians that resulted in his impeachment. | ||
| Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. | ||
| And the complaint that I've heard from Republican taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, that guy farted on TV. I mean, look, he paused. | |
| He paused and sat back. | ||
| So give us some examples of, like, what was he saying he wanted to do, had done? | ||
| He's admitting to abusing power? | ||
| Well, yeah, admitting to abusing power, but one of the first things he said to this guy, this lobbyist that he had just met, was talking about how he was bored of his wife, and how he wants somebody more ambitious, and he only wants to fuck... | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| That's what he said. | ||
| He only wants to F10s. | ||
| And, you know, I don't know what you think. | ||
| Is Fang Fang a 10? | ||
| I mean, would you go that far with that? | ||
| I've never actually... | ||
| I don't know what she looks like. | ||
| But I gotta correct you again. | ||
| It's Fang Fang. | ||
| Fang Fang. | ||
| She did die in a plane crash a couple years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that true? | |
| Did she really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| No. | ||
| You made that up. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| She died in 2022 on a China Eastern plane crash. | ||
| And it said, you know, I'm looking at Twitter from November 9th, 2023, where it says a year ago that she died in a plane crash. | ||
| And then it emerged that Fang Fang, the chief financial officer of Ding Long Culture, died. | ||
| In the plane crash. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| In March 2022, she died in that plane crash. | ||
| But my entire point behind talking about this and why I think that it's such a big deal is because if he is willing to say these things to people he just met, doesn't know, didn't even know their names, what did he tell somebody like Fang Fang? | ||
| Speaker Johnson needs to do something. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| The House needs to do it. | ||
| Okay, but let's get some of the meat here. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Because I understand, you know, we're all concerned about he's a Democrat, he's doing bad things. | ||
| He talked about orgies on Capitol Hill. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What did he say? | ||
| Bragging about orgies on Capitol Hill. | ||
| It's almost like he was talking about it like it's an open secret. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Madison Cawthorn warned everybody and they called him a liar. | ||
| What did they do to him? | ||
| They found a way to get rid of him. | ||
| But one of the biggest concerns that I had listening to that conversation... | ||
| Was him talking about his time on the Intelligence Committee and how he wanted to literally subpoena Ivanka Trump because she was, you know, hot, hot... | ||
| AF. Yeah, hot AF. But actually saying the words and then going on and on about it. | ||
| This wasn't just a passing comment. | ||
| He was talking about how, well, you know, we originally subpoenaed Jared Kushner, but, you know, I pushed to try to get Ivanka Trump in there, too, because, man, she's just hot as... | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And it's all on recording. | ||
| I'm like, I looked at my girlfriend and she looks back at me and I'm like... | ||
| You know, we couldn't believe what we were hearing, that this guy is saying this loudly in a public restaurant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, keep in mind, this is a Monday night, too. | |
| Not even like a Friday or Saturday. | ||
| People five tables away could have heard this. | ||
| So this is yesterday. | ||
| This is last night. | ||
| Last night, you're just sitting there having dinner, and dude sits down. | ||
| Again, I'm stressing the public because we're talking about the risks to national security. | ||
| A guy with security clearance, the Intelligence Committee, in a public place, blowing as loudly as possible to the point where... | ||
| People all around him can hear it, and you're able to pick it up on a recording. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's just spilling the beans and everything. | ||
| Not with a device, just with my phone just sitting in front of me. | ||
| I mean, I didn't need to. | ||
| I didn't need to bug the table or anything. | ||
| The phone right in front of me was enough to capture the... | ||
| I probably could have had the phone a few tables away and still gotten the conversation. | ||
| It was absolutely crazy. | ||
| You know, but I've already had members of Congress reach out to me about this. | ||
| He's not going to have a good week after... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's just say that. | |
| Right off the bat, I mean, this is what you've told us so far. | ||
| And again, you're going to go through the recordings and we'll see what happens. | ||
| But the stuff we know already, I'll put it like this. | ||
| I'm sure I speak for a lot of people who are like, I want to see the recording. | ||
| Like, I want to know that it actually happened, what was said. | ||
| That being said, like... | ||
| You obviously have photos and recordings. | ||
| You do. | ||
| And you obviously were there. | ||
| You have videos of the guy. | ||
| If you watch the video of me confronting him, I actually mentioned some of the stuff that I'm mentioning right now. | ||
| I asked him for comment. | ||
| Like, you want to comment on the fact that you don't want to bang your wife anymore because you want to bang tens in D.C.? I asked him that as he was walking. | ||
| No, he's famous. | ||
| It's so weird. | ||
| And then he looks at me like a deer in the headlights. | ||
| Like, oh my god, this guy's been sitting next to me for an hour and a half. | ||
| This warrants expulsion. | ||
| Yeah, it absolutely warrants expulsion. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| But they're never going to do it. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| He should at least, like Phil was saying, be pulled off those committees. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, he's off intel already, right? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| But at the end of the day, this kind of behavior should mean that he can't be on any committees. | ||
| He should lose all appointments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| He can, you know, he can obviously, if his constituents want him to stay, then he can stay. | ||
| But there's no reason for the Speaker or any... | ||
| Any committee to allow him to stay considering this type of behavior. | ||
| He's on judiciary. | ||
| He's on homeland security. | ||
| Which is really dangerous. | ||
| Cyber security and infrastructure. | ||
| He should clearly lose his clearance. | ||
| After Fong Fong? | ||
| Why is he on homeland security? | ||
| It seems like a big oversight. | ||
| The Fong Fong thing was a very long time ago. | ||
| And he got into things after the fact. | ||
| Two and a half years ago this whole thing came out. | ||
| So you have Speaker Johnson. | ||
| He's the one that... | ||
| Has the power to decide who's on what committee. | ||
| Who issues his clearance? | ||
| Like, who could revoke his clearance? | ||
| Obviously, the president could revoke his clearance, but who else, like... | ||
| What other authorities would be involved in revoking his clearance? | ||
| Because he shouldn't have a clearance. | ||
| He cannot be trusted. | ||
| I don't care, Republican or Democrat. | ||
| People are like, oh, you're attacking this guy because he's a Democrat or whatever. | ||
| No! | ||
| He spent all day yesterday attacking Dan Crenshaw for saying that he wanted to murder Tucker Carlson. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was crazy. | |
| What is going on? | ||
| What is up with these people? | ||
| These congressmen are just losing it. | ||
| You've got Rep Garcia, who we're going to censure this week. | ||
| Saying that he wants people to bring actual weapons against Elon Musk. | ||
| I really love the idea. | ||
| What was that about? | ||
| That was crazy. | ||
| These people are increasingly brazen. | ||
| You have these Democrats out there protesting, saying that this is war now and we need to fight in the streets. | ||
| Jasmine Crockett, she's out of control. | ||
| Particularly in a climate where we had two attempts on the sitting president's life. | ||
| That makes a big difference. | ||
| Yes, absolutely. | ||
| There was an attack. | ||
| There was a Tesla dealership that was shot out. | ||
| Now, that's symbolic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, you know, they didn't expect to hit Musk. | ||
| But the point is, it was a violent attack on something that was representative of Elon Musk. | ||
| There was the whole, I don't know what the deal surrounding the bomb in Vegas, the Tesla truck, but... | ||
| In this environment, in this climate, having people in positions of authority, and again, being in Congress does make a difference as to what you say. | ||
| We do have the freedom of speech, but if you're in a position of authority, you have to be careful what you're saying when it comes to things like violent rhetoric. | ||
| If it's a Republican that says these kind of things, people on the left are doing all they can to have as... | ||
| Damaging repercussions happen as possible, and I think the same standard should be held to the Democrats. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And I mean, you go to these protests now, because I'm in D.C. a lot, and I go to these protests on Capitol Hill. | ||
| You see, every single time at this point, you see somebody, there's this one woman that goes every time wearing a Luigi hat with an anti-Elon Musk sign. | ||
| You know exactly what she's calling for. | ||
| She's openly doing it, and nothing is done about it, because, you know, you... | ||
| Well, there's no imminent threat created. | ||
| I know, and so, but these people are being emboldened. | ||
| They're going, I don't know if you saw this yesterday, where luckily we have Eagle Ed Martin, the new U.S. There's another woman that's going viral right now where she was saying something to the effect of, You know, we all know what needs to be done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And then like there's tons of these videos where they try to use innuendo to call for violence. | ||
| But it does look like we got Dan and Cash and they're going to be taking these things more seriously. | ||
| This administration, of course, is going to take things much more seriously. | ||
| And I think you mentioned in response that went on TikTok calling for harm to Elon Musk, a U.S. attorney directly responded saying, we're going to get... | ||
| We'll be in contact. | ||
| Talk soon. | ||
| And she's like, ha ha ha, don't make this go viral. | ||
| Oh no, I'm going to get in trouble. | ||
| They want to go viral. | ||
| I mean, what people need to understand is that while certainly there are a lot of extremists and they're crazy... | ||
| Remember these videos where people would dress up like killer clowns? | ||
| Anything to go viral. | ||
| Remember the knockout game? | ||
| Anything to go viral. | ||
| People want to film these videos. | ||
| They do videos where they pull up the drive-thrus and then throw food at the workers and do horrible things. | ||
| Or how about the milk videos? | ||
| The videos where they go to Walmart and they jump up on the counter and then they slam the milk on the ground and they dump it all over themselves while screaming because it gets views. | ||
| These people on TikTok and other platforms calling for violence are doing it. | ||
| For many of them, not all of them, but many of them, for that reason. | ||
| Because they know it'll get them attention. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But it also should get them legal attention. | ||
| You know, it should get them law enforcement attention. | ||
| And I believe that's what's happening. | ||
| Very happy to see it. | ||
| How come TikTok leaves that stuff up? | ||
| People should know that that's what's going to happen. | ||
| Oh, TikTok banned us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. | |
| Literally just yesterday night. | ||
| Yeah, and I can't post the... | ||
| So I was down at the border investigating, you know, down there and showing how easy it was to go back and forth between Mexico and the United States. | ||
| You know, you just walk around the fences during the Biden administration. | ||
| And they suspended me for that. | ||
| I'm like, okay, so, you know, why can't you post things calling for the assassination of a government official, but I can't show the border wall? | ||
| I'm going to assume that I did delete that video she posted. | ||
| Because if it's still up, that'd be surprising. | ||
| Well, actually, she removed her own account. | ||
| Well, there you go. | ||
| But I will say this. | ||
| I think it's highly likely that first it's been reported Kellyanne Conway is lobbying for TikTok. | ||
| And that's probably why Trump supports it. | ||
| Trump is just sitting there being like, wow, I do well on TikTok. | ||
| He doesn't. | ||
| And it's funny because with all due respect to Riley Gaines, when everyone started jumping out and defending TikTok, she did as well. | ||
| And she said something like, you know, I've got 600,000 followers on TikTok. | ||
| There's an audience there for this. | ||
| And I'm like, Dylan Mulvaney has 13 million. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| OK, so if you want to entertain a website. | ||
| Or a mobile app, whatever, that is going to make sure 13 million people are going to keep being fed gender ideology and wokeness, and then 600,000 are allowed to get anti-woke stuff. | ||
| Okay, you're losing. | ||
| You are losing. | ||
| And this is an app where there's no rules. | ||
| We don't know what we're allowed to do. | ||
| So we recently launched a new account, kind of to prove the point, because Trump said, no, it's going to say, okay. | ||
| We talked to the social team, said launch a TikTok, and then we got a warning within a week. | ||
| And we got banned again. | ||
| And what do we say on this show that in any way ever is beyond the boundaries of what is acceptable in public discourse? | ||
| You've got people on TikTok who post way crazier things. | ||
| You've got people sharing the Osama Bin Laden letter. | ||
| You've got people pushing innuendo hint into Luigi Mangione. | ||
| And everyone knows it means TikTok has no problem with it. | ||
| We never go anywhere near that stuff. | ||
| They take us down the first video. | ||
| That got flagged was a clip from IRL, which I wasn't even on. | ||
| It was Sam Tripoli. | ||
| And he was talking about energy vampires. | ||
| And they said, that breaks the rules. | ||
| He gave us a warrant. | ||
| Do it again in your band. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're like, what? | |
| It was a joke. | ||
| It was a joke about psychic energy vampires. | ||
| It's just a joke about how people drain your energy sometimes. | ||
| That happens. | ||
| That's their concern? | ||
| And then just the other day, I don't know why, but they said we are permanently banned once again from TikTok. | ||
| They have an algorithm that feeds based on location, and they were feeding this teenager in Long Island train suicide videos, and then he stepped in front of a train. | ||
| And his parents are trying to sue TikTok, but this is what happened. | ||
| This is what they saw fit to feed this boy. | ||
| And Trump's defending it. | ||
| Yeah, I think that Congress was right to... | ||
| Banned TikTok. | ||
| I think it's a, you know, I understand all your slippery slope arguments, but like, get it off our phones, get it out of our kids' hands, get it out of our brains. | ||
| We don't need it. | ||
| Right, and you know, one of the arguments that people say is, oh, well, you know, just, you know, if they give you a violation, take down your video, just appeal it, and it'll go back up. | ||
| Okay, well, you've already killed the, they'll wait 24 hours, 48 hours, and maybe they'll put it back up, but that distribution is already killed, so it's not going to go anywhere anymore. | ||
| They will silence you and make sure that whatever you post is out of the news cycle by the time that they even let you. | ||
| Trump's got financial interests around him that are defending TikTok for no legitimate reason as far as I can tell. | ||
| So Charlie Kirk and Trump have done a hard 180 on TikTok with no explanation. | ||
| I like Charlie. | ||
| He does amazing work, some of the best work in politics. | ||
| He, along with Scott Pressler, did tremendous to help Trump win. | ||
| I think the Trump administration has been fantastic. | ||
| That being said, I still have never been given a legitimate reason from Charlie or Trump or anyone defending TikTok as to why they did a 180. Nothing's changed. | ||
| The data fears are still there. | ||
| The algorithm fears are still there. | ||
| All of a sudden, they're like, eh, no, we're good with it now. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| Well, you would think that rather than face the total shutdown of your app, you know, if there was actually, if we're talking about a legitimate business here, why not go through and sell it for $100 billion to a U.S. company? | ||
| At the end of the day, what are they going to do? | ||
| Are they going to shut it down? | ||
| Are they going to say, oh, well, we don't want it anymore? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They shut it down for one day, wasn't it? | |
| One day? | ||
| Yeah, one day. | ||
| It was, like, hardly shut down at all. | ||
| That was fake. | ||
| That was not shut down. | ||
| That was TikTok. | ||
| TikTok chose to disable their servers for users and then chose to turn them back on because the bill just removed it from the Play stores and from U.S. servers, which didn't affect them. | ||
| They pulled a stunt to be like, we're taking down Sari. | ||
| Hey, Trump did this. | ||
| And maybe for that reason, Trump was like, I'll take the boost among young people or something. | ||
| Well, it's still not available on Apple and Google. | ||
| It is. | ||
| They just put it back. | ||
| Well, it's been back for like a week or two. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, let's jump to this. | ||
| That's the last time I checked. | ||
| I'm sure we'll get into more about what's going on with the Democrats. | ||
| We've got another story in the deep state. | ||
| But for now, let's get into this other very big story from the New York Post. | ||
| Oh boy, you guys aren't going to want to look at the screen. | ||
| Fed's ID hacker who played AI video of Trump kissing Musk's feet and warned that legal ramifications are being explored. | ||
| How many of you think we should scroll down and everyone can see Trump sucking on Elon's toes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| We're going to say no? | ||
| I'm going to enable the blur function. | ||
| This is a cool feature. | ||
| I didn't even know this existed. | ||
| So it's an extension you can download. | ||
| And let's just adjust the blur amount to... | ||
| Let's put it at 5%. | ||
| No, 5 is a little too much. | ||
| Let's go to 6. So you can kind of see that there's Elon Musk sitting there. | ||
| It says, long live the real king. | ||
| That wasn't enough, Lur! | ||
| It wasn't enough! | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| All right, there we go. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Oh, my goodness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That doesn't look good either. | |
| The feds have ID'd the cyberpunk who broadcast an AI-powered video of Trump kissing. | ||
| They say kissing, but I'm sorry. | ||
| That's not kissing. | ||
| No, it was a little more involved. | ||
| Toes are in the mouth. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| And the kissing. | ||
| Officials at the Department of Housing and Urban Development said the individual has been identified, although they didn't name them or reveal how the hacker managed to infiltrate the government television system in the cafeteria at the agency's headquarters. | ||
| So I'm going to go and assume the person worked there. | ||
| It's usually that simple. | ||
| I don't think anyone broke into the building and then stuck a USB in a computer. | ||
| I think they worked there and they knew how to do it. | ||
| Well, I mean, this is... | ||
| You gotta think about it. | ||
| If it was a hacker of some sort, that is a high-level felony to hack into government computer systems. | ||
| So, you know, if they're saying they've identified the hacker but there haven't been any charges... | ||
| Yeah, they just kicked him out. | ||
| They just kicked him out. | ||
| I think it was an employee. | ||
| It had to be an employee at that point. | ||
| I don't think this DOJ is gonna be like... | ||
| We'll cut them loose. | ||
| Don't do it again. | ||
| Slap on the wrist. | ||
| Y'all gotta admit it's funny. | ||
| It's definitely funny. | ||
| I'm not laughing. | ||
| It's just inappropriate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where was it posted? | |
| On all the TVs at Housing and Urban Development. | ||
| They all just turned on showing Trump with Elon's toes in his mouth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh no. | |
| I mean, it really shows you how deranged these people are. | ||
| I mean, how much you want to bet this person didn't respond to that email? | ||
| Look, feet people are deranged right off the bat. | ||
| Just if you're into feet, you're kind of weird, right? | ||
| I think you're weird generating that, to be honest. | ||
| If you're going to AI generate that, it's pretty weird. | ||
| I'd like to agree with you, but the standard of what qualifies as weird these days has gone so far away from feet that you would beg for feet to be the weirdest thing about a person. | ||
| You can thank TikTok for that one. | ||
| You go to a liberal bar and you're like, please let feet be the only thing. | ||
| I don't know if we talked about it yesterday or we're going to talk about it tonight. | ||
| The CIA and their sex... | ||
| We talked about that last night. | ||
| It's just so freaky. | ||
| The NSA, CIA secret chat rooms they were having. | ||
| Those were so creepy. | ||
| Yeah, well, as I stated, you don't even want to know. | ||
| I cannot on this show. | ||
| Okay, when I say we're family-friendly, I'm not saying it's a kids' show where we're going to be like ABC, one, two, three. | ||
| I'm saying that we try to use innuendo on issues that get a little too heavy. | ||
| We try to refrain from swearing to the best of our abilities, but this is a news, culture, and commentary show which sometimes maybe your kids shouldn't be listening to. | ||
| That being said, these things in this chat, a man should not say before a woman. | ||
| I mean, these are horrifying things they were talking about doing to their bodies. | ||
| Some border on self-harm. | ||
| Well, they think it's healthcare. | ||
| Some of it, they think it's healthcare. | ||
| Yes, but the stuff they were talking about was not healthcare at all. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| They were talking about the relative benefits of sex changes in some of it. | ||
| Yes, but some of it was about the things they do that makes them feel good, and this was not healthcare. | ||
| It was damaging to the body, and it's weird. | ||
| It's all just disgusting. | ||
| And the problem is you normalize these things, and it's damaging to the body. | ||
| Like, you are hurting yourself and causing very serious health issues. | ||
| It's self-harm. | ||
| Not okay. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| How did these people get so deeply embedded in the intelligence community? | ||
| Because of DEI. That's terrifying. | ||
| How many of these people are there that we don't know about? | ||
| Good men did nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's why. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good men did nothing. | |
| They were too afraid. | ||
| Didn't want to say anything. | ||
| Didn't want to speak out. | ||
| Not at first. | ||
| I mean, I would say largely yes. | ||
| But it's not about fear. | ||
| I think it started with you have a Christian moral ethic dominant government and culture. | ||
| And then along comes some somewhat... | ||
| Deviant of an individual. | ||
| And they say, I'm just going to mind my own business because I want to go home to my kids and I don't care to deal with this. | ||
| Weird stuff. | ||
| Another person comes in and they say the same thing. | ||
| Look, I just don't want to deal with it. | ||
| It's nothing. | ||
| It's not a big deal. | ||
| And then 10, 20 years later, half the office has these kind of functions, these behaviors. | ||
| And now they're the ones setting the rules. | ||
| And now you're going, if I say anything, I'll get fired. | ||
| It's when good men do nothing. | ||
| How about when someone comes in advocating for self-harm for the purpose of self-gratification, which is Paradoxical. | ||
| You say, don't bring that around here. | ||
| You will be fired. | ||
| But they didn't. | ||
| Yeah, well, apparently you're not allowed to fire anybody. | ||
| If that's what all these judges are saying, you're not allowed to fire people. | ||
| And you had finally today, or yesterday, given the green light to go ahead and start firing these USAID people. | ||
| So that workforce is going to be cut. | ||
| I don't know if you've been by. | ||
| Anybody here? | ||
| Ben, you were in D.C. You go by that building now. | ||
| It is a ghost town. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah, they've been all taped up. | |
| Well, they have to keep taping it over because the activists keep going back. | ||
| No, we're going to reopen it! | ||
| And they rip the tape off. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I live in the real world where... | ||
| We got little restaurants down the street, you know, little small little family grills and diners. | ||
| Ain't not a single person in that building cares about what USAID is. | ||
| Because, look, a lot of people on the right are going to be like, people like that we're getting rid of this stuff. | ||
| I'm like, oh, well, well, technically. | ||
| The truth is, they have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who are these people cheering for USAID? It is kind of bizarre. | |
| The people cheering for USAID. And it's also true in terms of these government employees and their weird chat rooms and whatever else they're doing. | ||
| What's one of the biggest reasons someone takes a government job? | ||
| It's because of stability. | ||
| It's because of good benefits. | ||
| So, I mean, if you take a government job, you can expect to have it for, you know, a decade at least. | ||
| You can expect to not get fired. | ||
| So, I mean, already you have this... | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the temptation, though. | |
| though if you expect to not get fired you could also expect to not you know get in trouble for anything right more temptation to get away with things like weird chat rooms i think there should be an ethics investigation on these people i was in the confirmation hearing for cash patel for five hours and they were grilling him on both sides for the entire day but you know thank god he's in now uh as a new fbi director and i mean we we we fired | ||
| we kicked out george santos from Congress. | ||
| People like Swalwell. | ||
| Get him out. | ||
| You know, an ethics investigation put in on all that. | ||
| We're talking about revoking the clearance. | ||
| You know, we gotta do at least something here to prevent this from continuing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, you can see it's very, very clear, especially with the Swalwell situation. | ||
| Why? | ||
| People don't trust Congress. | ||
| They don't trust... | ||
| What are they at? | ||
| Are they at a 9% approval rating at this point? | ||
| You know, it's because you have a bunch of sleazebags in there. | ||
| I mean, there's nothing you said that's wrong. | ||
| He's probably in one of the chat rooms, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I... He's a weird dude. | |
| Nothing that you said is wrong, but... | ||
| No, it is. | ||
| Sorry, it's 29%. | ||
| Really? | ||
| It's 29%. | ||
| It must be Congress. | ||
| It's Congress and the staff. | ||
| But the point is that it's not just that Congress is full of scumbags. | ||
| That's something that's been kind of apparent to everybody for a long, long time. | ||
| The reason that there is such record distrust of government is because of COVID. It's because of the way that the government treated the American people during COVID. Well, that's when it really got exposed. | ||
| That's when people really got red pills because it became so obvious. | ||
| But I agree. | ||
| And I do kind of feel like just... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe I shouldn't say it, but I feel like it's beating a dead horse at this point. | ||
| We're several years on now. | ||
| Trump won a popular mandate. | ||
| People are very pissed off about all that. | ||
| Trump is going to go in, and we hope, despite these blanket pardons, Cash and Dan start digging up more information and exposing that we're on the next level of these things. | ||
| What I'm really curious about right now is how are there people marching around D.C. cheering for an agency no one's ever heard of? | ||
| There was a segment on Fox. | ||
| Where they're pointing out these Democrats are doing these protests, and there's a bunch of photos popping up where a couple Democrat senators and members of Congress are at a podium with no activists, no protesters. | ||
| And the argument being made on X, and I believe Fox made this argument, is when you cut USAID funding, which was not just USAID but some of these other government programs funneling to nonprofits, the paid organization of protests doesn't happen anymore. | ||
| So now when we see Democrats protest, there's no people. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, because people aren't getting paid out for it. | ||
| Well, people never got—people don't—99% of the time, people are not paid to protest. | ||
| And this is a mistake a lot of conservatives consistently have made over the past 15, 20 years, is they say that George Soros is funding paid protesters. | ||
| No. | ||
| George Soros, Open Society Foundation, provides grants to various non-profits of certain political persuasions. | ||
| Those non-profits will dispatch two organizers, maybe more, into a college area to flyer and pamphlet to generate real protesters. | ||
| Now, in actuality, these kids have no idea what they're talking about, but they just say, show up. | ||
| Famously, at Occupy Wall Street, there was a group of organizers that told everyone Radiohead was going to be playing a free show at Occupy Wall Street, which was an obvious lie. | ||
| Two or three thousand people showed up. | ||
| Those people weren't paid to be there. | ||
| They were tricked into being there. | ||
| So what we end up seeing now, with Democrats coming out and protesting Republicans and saying all this stuff, and there's no people behind them, two things happened. | ||
| The signs that they have... | ||
| You'll notice there are these rallies, and everybody seems to have the same sign. | ||
| They're printed from a print shop. | ||
| Yeah, that's paid for by nonprofits and by activist organizations. | ||
| But when you cut funding to these D.C.-based activist organizations, you're not going to get those signs, and... | ||
| The organizers will get laid off and they won't be able to go in flyer to create these protests. | ||
| So that's what community organizers are? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| They're people that show up at college campuses to flyer and generate aggravated protesters. | ||
| Yeah, what about the buses? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's got to be a large expense. | |
| So absolutely. | ||
| And there are astroturfed events. | ||
| They exist. | ||
| They're just very rare because it's very expensive. | ||
| And it's easy to expose and it's bad PR. So there are organizations that will say we'll pay 20 bucks to come to a park event. | ||
| Stand in a crowd. | ||
| And they'll give you some excuse as to what it is. | ||
| We're filming a music video or, you know, it's a rally and we're filming a promo spot, so we need crowd fillers. | ||
| And people will go and be like, hey, 20 bucks are free and I get free food and I, you know, ride on a bus. | ||
| The bus thing, however, in its all sincerity, is same thing. | ||
| These organizers will say, if you come to the protest, meet at this place, and we've got buses to drive in. | ||
| They pay, I think it's a couple thousand dollars per bus for the day. | ||
| And then you'll get five, six buses, pull up. | ||
| Unload, and people all come out with pre-made signs. | ||
| Those people aren't paid to be there, typically. | ||
| They're like, I'm part of the cause, and they have no idea what they're protesting. | ||
| They don't know why they're there. | ||
| And if you ask them any intense question about the politics, they'd be like, oh. | ||
| Well, I mean, look, one of the things that you'll notice is, obviously you go to these things, it's the, me, somebody that's covered several of these protests over the past few weeks, it's the same people. | ||
| Almost every time that you go to, you'll recognize faces, you'll start, you know, it's like the chick in the Luigi hat. | ||
| She's at every single one of them, and then they have the Elon Musk is a Nazi signs, and I actually confronted one of them the other day, saying, you know, what do you mean? | ||
| What does that mean that Elon Musk is a Nazi? | ||
| They can't answer the question. | ||
| They call the police to tell the police to come get me away. | ||
| It's a signal to other cult members. | ||
| That this is the bad man and I'm with you. | ||
| And that's the thing. | ||
| It's like you don't necessarily have to pay these people to come out because it gives them this feeling of, oh, I'm doing good. | ||
| I'm doing something for the world. | ||
| I'm part of something. | ||
| Because other than that, they're useless. | ||
| They're not particularly intelligent people, obviously. | ||
| And they're trying to fit in somewhere. | ||
| That's why you have the... | ||
| You know, all the weird trans stuff now. | ||
| It's like, oh, I'm just, I can fit into this group now. | ||
| That's the entire point of a lot of these people showing up. | ||
| They feel like they're part of something, and they have value at some point. | ||
| Yeah, so if you're a bored college kid, and you hear that there's going to be a big protest, you're like, I ain't got nothing else to do. | ||
| But now here's the best part. | ||
| We're starting to see all these photos pop up where Democrats are standing behind podiums, and they ain't got no protesters anymore. | ||
| And people are saying, that's weird, why is that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| All the funding's good. | ||
| But there is one more thing. | ||
| Before these layoffs happened, right? | ||
| And before these people were all put on leave, you had, in the middle of the day, in the middle of the business day, you had federal employees out there protesting in the middle. | ||
| And that just proves everybody's point. | ||
| Everybody's point. | ||
| You know, you can't... | ||
| And then, I think it was yesterday, I saw on CNN, some chick... | ||
| I watch CNN because it's comedy at this point to watch these people. | ||
| And she spends 10 minutes on CNN, a federal employee, in the middle of the business day, whining about how much time it was going to take her to respond to this email. | ||
| And think about everything she had to do last week. | ||
| And I'm like, in the time you spent whining on CNN in the middle of the business day, you could have responded to that email five times. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| It is pretty wild. | ||
| Yeah, that was one of the things that I was wondering about, too, is people kept going on news shows to complain about having to respond to an email. | ||
| And I'm like, if my boss came to me and said, you know, tell me five things you did last week, I'd be like, I could give you a hundred, like, in five minutes. | ||
| I could give you five things I did in the last hour. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's a huge amount of stuff. | ||
| Every single time Ian is on this show, when the guests walk in, Ian goes, so what are you working on? | ||
| Imagine we're going to bring a Democrat in and they're going to go, oh! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Next time I'm going to protest here, I'll be like, no, this is not fair. | |
| I think a lot of these people... | ||
| I go, Ian, save it for the show. | ||
| We want to explain the stuff they're working on live. | ||
| And he's like, oh, okay. | ||
| It is not strange. | ||
| If I went to any office, if my friend said, hey, you want to come stop by my office and see what's going on? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And I go to the office and he works in marketing and they're like, this is my team. | ||
| I'm like, cool, cool. | ||
| So what do you guys work on? | ||
| Could you imagine? | ||
| I can't have time to answer that. | ||
| Are you joking? | ||
| What? | ||
| You're sitting at your computer doing something? | ||
| I think a lot of these people felt really insulted, too. | ||
| I think that they didn't like being called out. | ||
| They didn't like being told to disrupt the chain of command. | ||
| I think that their pride was insulted in a lot of cases. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean, sure, it's stupid, but I think that... | ||
| I think the truth is they just don't do anything. | ||
| How much pride can you have by being a sit-at-home mouse wiggler for the federal government? | ||
| Every two hours or so, just wiggle the mouse, you'll be... | ||
| Otherwise it'll notify the logic. | ||
| I think Elon's play here, look man, you know it's funny, these liberals and leftists, I love reading their subreddits, I love watching their shows. | ||
| It is crazy how low IQ they are. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| I think it's unfair to say low IQ because maybe they have great spatial reasoning but they can't comprehend basic social function. | ||
| When you play a game of chess, I'm sitting there looking at the board and I say, okay, I'm going to move my knight here. | ||
| When I do, my opponent has seven options to try and counter me that I'm expecting. | ||
| If he moves here, I'll make move A. If he moves here, I'll make move B. If he moves here, I'll make move C. That's called multi-layered thinking, and that's called planning ahead. | ||
| Democrats can't understand that. | ||
| So when Elon Musk says, answer the email, and then Kash Patel and Tulsa say to their departments, don't, they go, oh, Elon got burned, his plan didn't work. | ||
| And I'm like, Elon moved a piece, waited to see the response. | ||
| He will then move the piece again. | ||
| The plan isn't over. | ||
| He's not given up. | ||
| And I think what these people don't realize, because they lack the cognitive capabilities, is that this email test does a bunch of things. | ||
| It tests whether emails exist. | ||
| If you don't answer, maybe there's no email. | ||
| The first thing that's going to happen is he's going to put an email and he's going to say, respond. | ||
| People don't respond. | ||
| They're told by Trump. | ||
| Tulsi and Keshe, you don't have to. | ||
| Just ignore it. | ||
| Red flag to all those accounts. | ||
| Not to fire them, but it's a red flag. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Anybody who is deeply passionate and really cared about their job is going to be like, oh boy, like, yo, Elon, hey man, I'm working on this project, man. | ||
| I need help. | ||
| I've been trying to get my boss to look at this thing we're doing, and he won't listen. | ||
| Lazy people are going to be like, okay, whatever. | ||
| Anybody who doesn't respond gets a red flag. | ||
| It doesn't mean you fire them, but now the magnifying glass is on them. | ||
| Let it be. | ||
| And the people who deeply care are going to respond being like, Finally, please, I've been working so hard on this project. | ||
| Or even the people who feel like they don't want to tell you what they're doing because it's classified or whatever would reply with like, I'm working on a whole bunch of things. | ||
| I can tell you very vaguely. | ||
| I'm CCing my manager who can tell you more in depth if that's what's needed. | ||
| It's just an email. | ||
| It shouldn't be that hard. | ||
| And the people that Tim is pointing the finger at or talking about. | ||
| Why would they assume that Musk would be hostile to the people that their boss, that he is working in conjunction with in the administration? | ||
| Why would they assume that it's a fight? | ||
| Like, it's like, oh, they just snapped Elon down! | ||
| It's like, no! | ||
| If you told Elon Musk, hey, the people that have security clearances probably shouldn't send emails to you. | ||
| In unsecured fashion, talking about the projects they're working on, Musk would say, oh yeah, that makes perfect sense. | ||
| It's ridiculous to think that it would be antagonistic. | ||
| Kevin, you do contracting and stuff. | ||
| Could you imagine one of your clients or something being like, hey, I was out of town, what were you working on last week? | ||
| And just being like, no, I'm not going to tell you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely not. | |
| You're going to go on CNN and call them a threat to democracy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I would go through every day of what I did. | |
| I was like, oh, I sanded the cabinets this day, I put the paint on this day. | ||
| And honestly, I was just thinking, What? | ||
| Why wouldn't you want, like, a response from somebody like Elon Musk to, like, literally help you be more efficient in your projects? | ||
| Yeah, that's a really good point. | ||
| He mentioned at one point that you might get a promotion. | ||
| You might get a promotion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or a promotion, right, yeah, if you answer. | |
| They're not going to be adversarial. | ||
| These people that are extremely online and they're ideologically opposed to Trump and Musk just because of their ideology, they're not going to be like, oh, man, Musk isn't going to be like, oh, man, this is such a blow to Doge and now we should... | ||
| Just stop doing what we're doing. | ||
| It's such a ridiculous thing to even think would come up. | ||
| They're not going to be adversarial. | ||
| It's just stupid. | ||
| You've got to think about this part as well. | ||
| This is the biggest takeaway that I have from it. | ||
| Obviously, Democrats lost the plot a long time ago, but you have to think of the Americans sitting at home right now and Democrats making this massive fuss about... | ||
| Federal workers having to respond to this 5.2-minute email, what do you think people sitting at home are thinking about this? | ||
| Do you think they're siding with the Democrats and be like, oh, that's such a shame, these people that I'm paying with this tax. | ||
| What an injustice. | ||
| That's not what they're thinking. | ||
| That's why Doge's approval rating is so high. | ||
| And the argument that it's not high, I think that's... | ||
| I don't buy it at all. | ||
| There's not a single poll that shows them underwater. | ||
| Yeah, and I also think that, you know, you have the pundits and the Democrats freaking out about Doge, but you don't have, like you guys are saying, you don't have the voters freaking out, and I think the voters aren't freaking out, you know. | ||
| Both Republican voters, independent voters, and Democrat voters, because we all are out here with jobs. | ||
| We all know what it is to have a job. | ||
| We know what it is to pay taxes. | ||
| And most of us are really, you know, those of us who have withholding tax are really sick of seeing all that money just get extracted from our paychecks so that we can continue to have bad roads, transoppers in Peru, and all of these workers who can't even respond to a damn email. | ||
| Come on! | ||
| Let's jump to this story from the New York Post. | ||
| Jon Stewart cuts open his hand while smashing mug in anger at ex-President Biden. | ||
| I'll be going to the hospital soon. | ||
| The first thing I want to say is he did cut his hand in an obvious pre-scripted bit where he'd break a mug. | ||
| And that's fine. | ||
| You can tell because he moved the lamp out of the way. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he wasn't angry. | ||
| It was a bit. | ||
| He was making a joke by smashing the mug. | ||
| The important point of the story is not that he cut his hand open. | ||
| I hope he's okay. | ||
| It's that he was playing this game of... | ||
| Yes, he calls himself Doge Curious and says we want to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, and then he does what he's always done best, obfuscates the issue to confuse lower cognitive functioning individuals to pull them away from the obvious truth. | ||
| What's happening right now with Doge is that they're going to departments that are giving away money, that are paying people who aren't working, and they're cutting wasteful spending and abuse right away. | ||
| Because that is a threat to the establishment machine, Jon Stewart has to be in opposition to what Trump is. | ||
| But how can he when Doge is a popular concept? | ||
| Cutting wasteful spending. | ||
| Who's going to disagree with that, especially if they say we will give you? | ||
| A $5,000 check once we pull $2 trillion in funding. | ||
| So Jon Stewart says, I'm Doge Curious. | ||
| I like the idea, but they're in the wrong place. | ||
| We gotta cut tax subsidies for big corporations. | ||
| And then he says, because they're screwing you over at a ditty party and making you pay for the baby oil. | ||
| The simple point is this. | ||
| Jon Stewart's whole bit is that the answer to wasteful spending is to increase taxes on corporations and not at all. | ||
| To fire people wasting money, stealing money, or defrauding the government, or not at all to lower your taxes. | ||
| His whole segment is, no, Trump is bad. | ||
| Trump is firing people, but it doesn't do anything. | ||
| We need to raise taxes on corporations. | ||
| And my response just is, there's going to be people who fall for it. | ||
| They're like, yeah, well, who cares about gender studies? | ||
| Why is Walmart getting a tax subsidy? | ||
| And it's like, okay, tax subsidy means a discount on their taxes. | ||
| They're not being given money. | ||
| So we're not paying them. | ||
| You're basically saying you want to raise their taxes. | ||
| Okay, fine, I guess. | ||
| But what does that have to do with what Doja's doing? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And, you know, another big point to this is, you know, we're not just talking about big businesses and everything. | ||
| We're talking about, okay, you'll see people on X and... | ||
| Pretty much every other platform at this point whining about the fact that, oh, well, Elon just cut $500,000. | ||
| That's nothing for the federal government. | ||
| It's like somebody worked their entire life to pay $500,000. | ||
| I mean, think about somebody 75 years old. | ||
| How much did they pay in taxes their entire lives? | ||
| Does it get to the point where it's $500,000? | ||
| That's working an entire lifetime to pay off this measly $500,000 bill to fund gender studies and transgender operas in Canada. | ||
| Cambodia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean... | |
| There should be, like, if you're in a certain tax bracket, there should be a cap on how much money you spend in taxes in your lifetime. | ||
| Somehow. | ||
| That should work out. | ||
| Holy cow! | ||
| That is, like, the exact opposite of what Elad was talking about. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You're saying, like, the most tax you could ever pay would be, like, $10 million or something? | ||
| Whatever it is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just, mostly I think that I should be done paying taxes. | ||
| Or just not pay any taxes, are you? | ||
| I'd imagine that would be a good amount, but not like... | ||
| I feel like I'm done. | ||
| Like, I've paid so much in taxes, I look at it and I'm like, damn, you guys took my money. | ||
| Well, so the difficult thing is... | ||
| Stop the bleeding. | ||
| The difficult thing now is to assess the rate by which we tax people. | ||
| I'd have to know how much you've paid. | ||
| Oh, I can't reveal that. | ||
| Right, so that's the issue. | ||
| Humiliating. | ||
| But if we're talking about a low number, like after you pay 200,000 in taxes, you're done, then most people are done. | ||
| Most people are done in their 20s, probably. | ||
| I think a lot of people don't realize how much they spend in income taxes. | ||
| It's so much money. | ||
| And when I lived in New York, you had New York City taxes and state. | ||
| I said taxes. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Even better. | |
| I like that even better. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I was thinking income taxes specifically. | ||
| But in New York City, you pay city taxes and you pay... | ||
| State taxes, and then you pay federal taxes. | ||
| Plus you pay, you know, what, like 8.75 sales taxes? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| There's a lot of that. | ||
| I can't believe there are people that still live in New York City. | ||
| Well, it's the greatest city on Earth. | ||
| It's what? | ||
| It's the greatest city on Earth. | ||
| That is not correct. | ||
| According to who? | ||
| According to me, obviously. | ||
| I'm the one talking. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| It's better than Philadelphia. | ||
| You put your garbage right in front of your buildings, just out. | ||
| Better than D.C. Sure. | ||
| It's better than L.A. No. | ||
| No. | ||
| I can't even go there with that. | ||

| San Diego's absolutely beautiful. | ||
| You can walk everywhere. | ||
| It's great year round. | ||
| Yeah, I'm sorry. | ||
| San Diego's better than New York. | ||
| I'm not saying San Diego's the best year round. | ||
| I haven't been to San Diego in a long time. | ||
| Honolulu's pretty great, too. | ||
| I've never been there. | ||
| It's pretty awesome. | ||
| Libby, New York smells like sour milk. | ||
| Not all the time. | ||
| Sometimes it smells like maple syrup. | ||
| The sun comes out and that sour milk is strong through the air. | ||
| Maple syrup. | ||
| It's true, man. | ||
| Yo, New York stabbed in the subway? | ||
| I never got stabbed. | ||
| Thankfully. | ||
| My mom's boyfriend got stabbed when I was a kid. | ||
| I didn't. | ||
| I know someone that did. | ||
| I never got stabbed, but I know someone that did. | ||
| How many people do you know that have been stabbed around here? | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| A homeless person slept in my car the other night. | ||
| What? | ||
| Greatest city on earth! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait, wait. | |
| Someone opened your car and went into your car? | ||
| I went to my car in the morning and it reeked of cigarettes. | ||
| And I don't smoke cigarettes. | ||
| And no one's been in my car who smokes cigarettes. | ||
| Is the door locked? | ||
| No, I didn't lock the car. | ||
| I forgot to lock the car. | ||
| I live in a rural area. | ||
| Well, I don't think anyone slept in it. | ||
| Someone smoking may have rifled through your car. | ||
| Someone went in my car. | ||
| So wait, you don't live in New York City, but you're saying that it's the greatest city in the world. | ||
| Why don't I live there? | ||
| Well, I used to live there, and now I bought a house around here. | ||
| Yeah, I'd probably flee, too, because, no, everybody, you know... | ||
| At this point, you go there... | ||
| I mean, I'm beating a dead horse here, but you go to New York, you can't even afford... | ||
| Unless you have a decent income, you can't even afford to go visit New York at this point. | ||
| Well, no, visiting New York is way more expensive than... | ||
| Talk about railroad apartments. | ||
| Those should be illegal. | ||
| Yes, those should be illegal. | ||
| But visiting is way more expensive than living there. | ||
| So they'll call it a three-bedroom. | ||
| Like a shotgun shack. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It'll say three-bedroom apartment. | ||
| And what it is, is there's a living room. | ||
| And then there's a door in the middle on each wall. | ||
| And you walk into the next one. | ||
| And there's another room. | ||
| And that's bedroom one. | ||
| And then you walk through bedroom one to get to bedroom two. | ||
| And then you walk through bedroom two to get to bedroom three. | ||
| So when you live in a railroad apartment with roommates... | ||
| The middle of your room is the hallway. | ||
| And this is how people in New York live. | ||
| You think it's a third world country? | ||
| Is that even legal? | ||
| I didn't think that was legal. | ||
| Yeah, and the crazier still is the bachelor apartments are becoming more and more popular, which is terrifying. | ||
| I lived in LA, and I knew some people, they were skateboarders and they rented bachelor apartments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| They don't care. | ||
| They're scuzzy skateboarders who make minimum wage working at a burger shop. | ||
| And they were like, bro, it's 300 bucks a month and I get a place to sleep. | ||
| Bachelor apartments, you know what that is? | ||
| It is a single room that's probably like 5 by 10. Yes, super. | ||
| Maybe it's like maybe 8 by, no, not by 20. Are these like little pita-ter type of things? | ||
| You walk in a building and you basically have a closet with a window. | ||
| No wonder you're a bachelor. | ||
| You have a bed in it. | ||
| It's called Bachelor Apartments. | ||
| The bathrooms are all shared. | ||
| And it's a couple hundred bucks a month. | ||
| That used to be a, wow, you must be broke. | ||
| Like, it was for temporary workers and people who are... | ||
| You know, just otherwise not able to afford something. | ||
| They're common now among Gen Z in New York. | ||
| Gen Zers post videos where they're like, this one costs $1,800 and there's no bathroom. | ||
| There's a sink. | ||
| It's one room with a sink in it. | ||
| And they're like, can't afford it. | ||
| That's what New York has become. | ||
| And the sour milk smell. | ||
| Well, maybe more of us should live on the Gulf of America. | ||
| We've got like five states bordering the Gulf of America. | ||
| We went to New York. | ||
| We did a big Times Square campaign and got a bunch of billboards up. | ||
| And we were like, we're going to bring all the crew and we're going to go and take pictures at the billboards because, you know, we're doing a big marketing thing. | ||
| That morning, as we were arriving in New York, a man took a machete, walked into an old lady, and just slashed her in the back. | ||
| Listen, they're ruining it for sure, but it was really good. | ||
| You're backtracking now. | ||
| I still think it's the best city on earth. | ||
| Yes, but then, all of that being said, they also filmed The Daily Show there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Daily Show? | |
| It's filmed in New York. | ||
| Isn't that Trevor Noah? | ||
| No, it's John Stewart. | ||
| It was Trevor Noah? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't watch that show. | ||
| It's really funny how Trevor Noah became alt-right. | ||
| Did you see that video? | ||
| Oh, the one where it turns out he's really pro-segregation? | ||
| No, no, he's alt-right. | ||
| He literally said, Finland for the Finns. | ||
| Like, I'm not trying to be cute by saying he's alt-right. | ||
| Trevor Noah, formerly of The Daily Show, had a viral podcast video. | ||
| It was at Timcast News. | ||
| Follow at Timcast News. | ||
| We posted this. | ||
| Where he literally says, did you ever notice that things are going really well in Finland? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they're all Finnish! | ||
| He then says, Trevor knows if a black person shouts, he knows what they're saying because they're black. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| And he was talking about segregation. | ||
| And I was just like... | ||
| But he's not talking about... | ||
| He's in favor of separate, like, race-based societies. | ||
| Yes, but it goes more than that. | ||
| I would agree he's arguing for segregation, but at the national level, when he argued that Finland should be for the Finns, I was like, yo! | ||
| It's the most basic thing he's ever said. | ||
| This guy should have a conversation with some white nationalists because they're going to completely agree with him. | ||
| Did he realize what he was saying? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And he said the problem with segregation was that certain black folks couldn't get bank loans. | ||
| And obviously that's all bad, oppression. | ||
| But his argument was black people should be, and this is what Trevor Noah argued, separate. | ||
| And he argued that... | ||
| Finland works because they're all Finnish. | ||
| And then he says, he's like, if you shout at me, I know what you're saying because you're black. | ||
| And it's like, I gotta be honest, guys. | ||
| I'm gonna need your help on this one. | ||
| See, I come from a mixed background. | ||
| So maybe I'm lacking the ability to understand the guttural grunts from individual races. | ||
| But do you, as pure-blooded white people, understand each other's grunts? | ||
| Like Trevor Noah does? | ||
| I don't know how many grunts I'm getting. | ||
| Do you grunt? | ||
| I mean, he's from Philadelphia. | ||
| They have their own dialect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We whistle. | |
| We whistle. | ||
| You know, when I'm in the grocery store and I lose my kid or whatever, if I just go, yo, I'm the only one. | ||
| He knows where I am. | ||
| He finds me. | ||
| But Trevor Noah said, if you shout at me, I know what you are saying because you're black. | ||
| And it's like... | ||
| Is there race language that I don't know about? | ||
| I thought that was weird, too. | ||
| I was like, I understand cultural cues. | ||
| When you move around regionally in the United States, sometimes you won't understand cultural cues that are going on. | ||
| But I don't really think that they're race. | ||
| To me, they're regional-based. | ||
| They're regionally-based. | ||
| When I moved out here, I didn't always understand what people were saying. | ||
| It took me a while to understand that when somebody says, bless your heart, they don't really mean a nice thing to you. | ||
| Yeah, they're saying you're naive. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which apparently, you know, works. | |
| Right. | ||
| Like, there's cultural cues all over the place. | ||
| Sure, and everyone, I think, agrees with that. | ||
| Trevor Noah's point was that it's like... | ||
| His argument was literally if you take two black people and put them in a forest and they're from two parts of the planet and they walk up to each other, they're going to make grunting sounds and understand each other. | ||
| That's pretty weird. | ||
| That's very weird. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is that not true with Asians? | ||
| Well, I'm saying I must lack this ability. | ||
| Because I certainly have never understood any guttural sounds from Asians. | ||
| So how do you keep up with it in your greatest city on earth over there? | ||
| You're never going to get me to say New York. | ||
| New York was great in the late 80s. | ||
| Well, that's when my mom's boyfriend got stabbed. | ||
| But it was also good in the 90s and the early 2000s. | ||
| Trump came in, right? | ||
| Cleaned up that town, yeah? | ||
| And he made it the number one city. | ||
| Yeah, he did a great job. | ||
| Giuliani. | ||
| And then Bloomberg came in and injected just like millions and millions of dollars of his own cash. | ||
| You know, there'd be like a budget shortfall for the Met. | ||
| And he'd be like, oh, here's this little anonymous. | ||
| It's anonymous, you guys. | ||
| And be like, yeah, that's right. | ||
| But it is insane to see how much they are fighting against what... | ||
| I don't see Eric Adams as a... | ||
| I don't think he's been red-pilled. | ||
| I don't think he's a Republican. | ||
| He's definitely not MAGA. But they have totally turned against him. | ||
| And, you know, they were trying... | ||
| We're trying to push for this literal socialist that, I mean, radical. | ||
| I mean, he may even be communist. | ||
| Well, there was Maya Wiley, too. | ||
| I mean, she's the one who literally went into the house and was like, a woman is anyone who says she is. | ||
| And it's like, oh, okay. | ||
| What is in the water in New York that's making these people think this way? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How can you live? | |
| Water comes from upstate. | ||
| Upstate, okay. | ||
| With natural pressure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yeah, from the aqueducts. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| And you know there's a secret stream in New York? | ||
| Yeah, really. | ||
| They built a building over it, but you can look over a wall and see the original stream is still there. | ||
| That's very cool. | ||
| There's a guy who made a video 10 years ago about it. | ||
| It went viral. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah? | |
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| And it smells like sour milk, so I want to go there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't. | |
| I'm drinking out of that. | ||
| Let's jump to this next story. | ||
| This one is very spicy, so let's just make sure we keep this one as this story gets increasingly terrifying. | ||
| We'll keep this one family-friendly, guys. | ||
| We've got to be careful. | ||
| Texas rancher killed by suspected cartel IED on Mexican border as authorities warn of growing threat. | ||
| Yeah, Trump's been warning of this threat. | ||
| A Texas border rancher was killed near the border by a suspected cartel IED earlier this month, the Texas Department of Agriculture told The Post Tuesday. | ||
| As officials issued an urgent safety warning for the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| Rancher Antonio, how do you pronounce that? | ||
| Cespedes? | ||
| Saladierna, 74, who works on both sides of the border, along with Horacio Lopez-Pena, were killed in the blast in Tamaulipas, Mexico, which is just south of Brownsville, Texas. | ||
| Lopez's wife, Ninfa Griselda Ortega, was hospitalized with injuries. | ||
| Man, take a look at this. | ||
| The blast occurred just south of Brownsville. | ||
| So... | ||
| Look, Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller said that an explosion is part of a growing threat posed by cartel activity and encourages ranchers to exercise extreme caution. | ||
| I encourage everyone in the agricultural industry to stay vigilant, remain aware of their surroundings, and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement. | ||
| Additionally, you can avoid dirt roads in remote areas. | ||
| Refrain from touching unfamiliar objects that could be explosive devices. | ||
| Limit travel to daylight hours, stay on main roads, and avoid cartel-controlled regions. | ||
| We'll just avoid Mexico. | ||
| This is important. | ||
| This is presumably an American man. | ||
| Two American men, presumably. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Texas rancher. | ||
| Donald Trump has named many of these cartels as terrorist organizations, which opens the door to drone strikes. | ||
| What action would Donald Trump take knowing that Americans are now being killed? | ||
| Suspected, killed by individuals suspected to be cartels planting bombs. | ||
| The United States has used our military to go after cartels in the past, and it's not. | ||
| So there is precedent for this. | ||
| I don't think that it's outside of the realm of possibility to think that the U.S. will just put drones in the air over Mexico. | ||
| Mexico does not have the ability to say no. | ||
| They don't have the ability to stop us. | ||
| I don't think they have a significant air force. | ||
| I don't know about Mexico's military. | ||
| But if they can't keep the cartels from taking over significant portions of the country, I'm... | ||
| They don't have the ability to stop the United States. | ||
| And if the Mexicans... | ||
| I mean, it was 36 people were murdered. | ||
| 36 people that were trying to become the Mexican president until Scheinbaum finally allowed her to become the president. | ||
| 36 people. | ||
| The Mexican government is not in control of Mexico. | ||
| It's the cartels. | ||
| So the United States has legitimate reason to say, look... | ||
| If you can't control this territory and these people are actually killing Americans on American soil, then we're going to do something. | ||
| I mean, the trafficking alone has killed millions and millions and millions upon Americans. | ||
| I would like to see, what do we do? | ||
| Let's send in a Predator drone to Mexico. | ||
| You know, take these guys out. | ||
| What's Mexico going to do about it? | ||
| They can't even keep the name of their own body of water. | ||
| This is arguably a declaration of war on Mexico. | ||
| Roadside bombs? | ||
| Right at the border? | ||
| You've got to be kidding me. | ||
| Where was it? | ||
| I know that it's on the border, but the border is a very, very thin line. | ||
| Where was it? | ||
| Was it in the United States? | ||
| Or was it in Mexico? | ||
| A lot of these ranches, they sort of span... | ||
| Where was the bomb? | ||
| Because the wall is not the marker of the border. | ||
| It was in Mexico. | ||
| It was in Mexico? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was a drone then, an IED? No, no, no. | |
| It was an IED. And they're saying that it was in Mexico, south of Brownsville, Texas. | ||
| But was it an American man working on both sides? | ||
| If Americans are being killed at, near, or south of the border, we've got a problem. | ||
| I don't know that we could drone strike. | ||
| Because Congress would need to make a declaration. | ||
| Mexico would have to be involved. | ||
| You could theoretically issue mark and reprisal letters, but now you're basically saying we're going to allow privateers to go into the border to deal with the cartels. | ||
| And that's opening up the door to more chaos than there already is. | ||
| To be fair, though, I'm not saying we do nothing. | ||
| Something has to be done to deal with this. | ||
| Maybe the heavy troop presence will be enough. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's possible that we also know you have to figure out when the IAD was placed, too. | ||
| When was it placed? | ||
| Was it recent? | ||
| Are they further militarizing themselves at this point, you know, against a possible incursion by American troops? | ||
| I mean, what's going on there? | ||
| Why was this IED placed in that location? | ||
| And I don't know if you've been, I just got back from this area, south of Brownsville, Texas, Matamoros, which is, whatever it is, that's the Mexican state where Matamoros is. | ||
| And you have this wall, and you see these big gates in the wall. | ||
| Because Americans own farms that are on both sides of the wall. | ||
| So it's a good chance that this guy owned the farm that straddles the border and just went directly over and they placed it in his farm. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that's and you had the story of the was the guy in Arizona who got criminally charged with shooting an illegal immigrant passing over his property. | ||
| And he said I can't remember exactly what he said, but there were gunshots and he fired back and then they didn't care. | ||
| And the Biden administration wanted to make sure that he went to prison. | ||
| I mean, the Biden administration was abject evil in the targeting of of. | ||
| Just regular Americans over insane things. | ||
| I'm not sure that the... | ||
| I'm not positive about this, but if the cartels are designated as terrorists, it might still... | ||
| The authorization to use a military force might still cover that. | ||
| I believe it does. | ||
| The AUMF that they gave to Bush was for the Middle East. | ||
| Was it region-specific? | ||
| The authorization for use of military force, I believe, was specifically targeting the Middle East. | ||
| Because I thought that it was the authorization to go after international terror rings because they were all over the world. | ||
| It was the AUMF in 2001 for Bush was specifically to go after those who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the September 11th attacks. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So then what was... | ||
| There was a 2003 AUMF. That was to go into Iraq because Congress didn't want to vote at war. | ||
| I believe, yeah. | ||
| I believe that was 2003. Authorization for use of Military Force 03. Okay, maybe not. | ||
| That was 2002. Okay. | ||
| And it was specifically for Iraq. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But does anybody really believe that Trump is going to base his decision as to whether or not he'll drone strike cartels based on what the Mexican president has to say about it? | ||
| No, again, the Mexican president is a puppet. | ||
| There's no question about it. | ||
| She wouldn't have gotten in there. | ||
| There's no way for her to get in there. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| 36 people died, and then she was the one that got elected. | ||
| And why did they let her in? | ||
| Because she's a puppet. | ||
| If you genuinely wanted to get rid of the cartels in Mexico, if you're the Mexican president and you genuinely... | ||
| Why would you work so hard to block the greatest, the strongest, most capable military in the world from going in there and eradicating the cartels? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You remember how many candidates were assassinated, though, before they elected? | |
| Like, this one can go. | ||
| The United States literally should just say, listen, you don't have the ability to stop this. | ||
| Americans are dying, so we're going to stop it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| Any action that Mexico takes, I've seen it myself. | ||
| I know Trump has put more pressure on them now, and they might be doing something a little bit different, but I was down there, I was standing next to the Mexican National Guard. | ||
| They saw people being trafficked over the border. | ||
| They chose to do nothing about it. | ||
| I was, they were like, oh, well, they're too far gone. | ||
| We can't locate them. | ||
| So I went on foot myself and went and tracked down these people that were being trafficked over the border by the cartels. | ||
| They're not interested in stopping it. | ||
| It's all a farce. | ||
| They're just acting like it. | ||
| In their mind, they don't have any incentive to do so. | ||
| They can't be trusted. | ||
| It has to be our troops at the end of the day. | ||
| Okay, so I'm... | ||
| What did you guys think of this proposal for, like, a private-tier type of force? | ||
| Yeah, a market reprisal. | ||
| Yeah, what did you guys think about that? | ||
| I think it's a bad idea. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Look, you're basically telling Mexico we're authorizing PMCs, private groups, to go in there and start dealing with cartels. | ||
| There's going to be war on their... | ||
| That seems war-ish, yeah. | ||
| Well, it's not that we're declaring war, but basically, like, we'd basically be saying, you've got cartels, we're going to be sending in our violent guys with guns to go stop them, and it's going to be chaos in Mexico. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're going to be like, nah. | ||
| Mexico has already been trying to, like, sue American gun manufacturers. | ||
| I mean, that's the... | ||
| Market reprisal may be the only answer. | ||
| That may just be no good answer. | ||
| The idea that the response to the United States declaring the cartels terrorists, the response by the Mexican government, by the president, President Scheinbaum, is that we're going to expand legal action against gun manufacturers in the United States? | ||
| That's absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| Because they're blaming... | ||
| People that make guns in the U.S. for sale in the U.S. for the problems of the cartels. | ||
| You don't have the ability to police your own damn country and you're blaming arms manufacturers in the United States? | ||
| Unacceptable. | ||
| Unacceptable. | ||
| They don't even attempt to try to stop the flow into Mexico. | ||
| Because they'll die. | ||
| I went into Mexico without a passport. | ||
| I just walked across the border because they don't ask for it. | ||
| You just walk through. | ||
| They have no idea what I have. | ||
| You went to a non-port of entry, you're saying? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I went to a port of entry. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| I just walked through. | ||
| I mean, not that you couldn't just walk across around the wall. | ||
| When you drive in, they just wave you through. | ||
| You don't stop. | ||
| From the United States into Mexico, from San Diego to Tijuana, you're driving, and you slow down to five miles an hour, and they just go, Nope. | ||
| Just fan you in. | ||
| When you're coming back, however, the Americans stop and take your passports. | ||
| Right, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's why I think it's a bad idea to do the privateering because it could just open the door to what we've seen in Ukraine where people just are selling arms like on the black market. | |
| Is that what's going on in Ukraine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I've... | |
| Because you've been there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we reported on that a few years ago when Jack and I went over. | |
| But yeah, they will... | ||
| Offer donations to mercenaries, and then you send your money over there, and it just gets spent on totally different things. | ||
| This is what you sent the money for. | ||
| So is that actually one of the... | ||
| And you may or may not know this, but we don't know where a lot of the stuff went that we sent over there. | ||
| There's billions and billions and billions. | ||
| So is that what's happening? | ||
| It's being sent over there, and then it's being sold off? | ||
| Being auctioned off? | ||
| Being given to mercenaries? | ||
| Like, what's the... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's what I witnessed when I was over there. | |
| I can't say that's the case for 100% of the money. | ||
| Well, nobody knows where 100% of the money is at this point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, apparently, as we saw in Tucker, a lot of the arms that went over there ended up getting into the hands of the cartels. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Coming back for us. | ||
| We got breaking news, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This just from Jesse Waters. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard says that 100 plus intelligence officials involved in the deep state sex chat will have their security clearances revoked. | ||
| Let's play the clip now. | ||
| Apparently this just aired. | ||
| Well, Jesse, what we're going to do has already been done. | ||
| There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in this, what is really just an egregious violation of trust, what to speak of, like basic rules and standards around professionalism. | ||
| I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated and their security clearances. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll be revoked. | |
| But the thing here, Jesse, is we've got to take a step back because this is just barely scratching the surface. | ||
| When you see what these people were saying, and thanks to Chris Rufo for putting it all out online, they were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use to conduct this kind of really, really horrific behavior. | ||
| And they were brazen in doing this because... | ||
| When was the last time anyone was really held accountable? | ||
| certainly not over the last four years, certainly not over the last 10, maybe 20 years. | ||
| And we look at some of the biggest violations of the American people's trust in the intelligence community. | ||
| So today's action and holding these individuals accountable is just the beginning of what we're seeing across the Trump administration, which is carrying out the mandate the American people gave him. | ||
| Clean house, root out that rot and corruption and weaponization and politicization. | ||
| So we can start to rebuild that trust in these institutions that are charged with an important mission of serving the American people, ensuring our safety, security and freedom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That's great. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's got to go further. | |
| We got action from the government. | ||
| This is something we never would have seen under the Biden administration. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| These individuals who are clearly... | ||
| Look, look, look. | ||
| I just want to make sure this is understood by everybody. | ||
| The same people who demand we get these workplace sexual harassment seminars where they tell you you can't do this, we're literally doing it. | ||
| Yeah, they're the same ones. | ||
| And let me just say, somewhat figuratively, what I mean is... | ||
| It is these left liberal types who are screaming about inequality, oppression, and intersectional whatever and what's it, which would, their policies would ban the behaviors they're engaged in, and they do it anyway. | ||
| And now they're all fired, and they should be, and they've got their clearances revoked. | ||
| They're never going to work intelligence again. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| It needs to go further than this because now we have to look at who did they target? | ||
| These people had these security clearances, these top-level security clearances. | ||
| Who were they going after? | ||
| Who were they pulling dirt on? | ||
| I mean, you see, like, lives of TikTok. | ||
| Kaya Rychik was specifically mentioned in one of these weird sex chats. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so they have this pretty much unfettered access to... | ||
| I mean, you've seen what the intelligence community is capable of, and tapping people's cell phones, digging into their emails. | ||
| Going after Catholics, going after parents. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That needs to be investigated. | ||
| If they're calling Kaya Rychik a terrorist, and if they believe that, what did they do to her? | ||
| Were they reading her emails? | ||
| Were they reading her text messages? | ||
| They had the ability to. | ||
| That needs to be investigated. | ||
| And if they did, jail. | ||
| It's sort of, it's been true across the board and it's been such a short period of time that the Trump administration has been clearing house. | ||
| Clearing house over here in this area. | ||
| They're dealing with the FBI. People have already been reassigned. | ||
| The IRS agents are looking at being reassigned. | ||
| You know, today you have this wild thing in the White House where the press secretary said that the White House Correspondents Association, basically like the press pool, would be taken over by the White House and they wouldn't let the rot in that organization keep seeping in, you know. | ||
| And that's actually all because of Kevin over here, who's coined Gulf of America. | ||
| And then the next thing you know, all hell breaks loose. | ||
| The AP gets banned and the White House Correspondents Association doesn't even have any standing in the White House anymore. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| But they're just they're clearing everything out. | ||
| How did you feel about that, Kevin, when you found out that not only did the AP get banned, but the entire way that the press organization is working at the White House has changed? | ||
| all because of the Gulf of America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It feels incredible, honestly, yeah. | |
| I mean, it's just the domino meme, you know? | ||
| Me on a wave runner, and now all of a sudden, everybody has to put an application in to get in the White House press briefing. | ||
| Well, at this point, you know, you see the signs. | ||
| So the White House Correspondents Association went all, we stand with the AP. They were putting up signs in the briefing room saying that. | ||
| It's like, okay, yeah, go stand with AP on the sidewalk. | ||
| You can report from outside. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's been two weeks. | |
| It's been 14 days. | ||
| People don't understand this. | ||
| They're like, oh, well, you know, why doesn't somebody like Nick Sorter? | ||
| Why doesn't Tim Poole have a spot in the White House briefing room? | ||
| Well, that's because up until now, it was controlled by the cartel known as the White House Correspondents Association. | ||
| Controlled by the left wing. | ||
| I think the chair, I believe, is like a, I think she's a reporter for NBC. And the argument that you always hear is, oh, well, this is an attack on free speech, which is the same argument they make when you talk about getting rid of books that are sexually explicit. | ||
| In schools. | ||
| But just like that argument, curation and deciding who is and is not allowed in is not a limit on free speech. | ||
| It is just a limit on the space inside of the room. | ||
| If the administration decides that they don't want to let this particular organization in, they have every right to do that because they exclude hundreds and probably thousands of press organizations from... | ||
| Actually being able to access the White House press room. | ||
| Well, the Biden administration, you remember them? | ||
| Like, we'd never see any of this stuff if it was until Joe Biden. | ||
| Did they sue Joe Biden either? | ||
| Did they sue Joe Biden either? | ||
| But, like, do you remember Joe Biden would stand there and when he did take questions, how many times did he take questions from the press? | ||
| Like, four or five times in his entire four years? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe he was walking by into the house or off the helicopter. | |
| But when he did actually take questions, he had a list of people that he would read from. | ||
| And he'd be like, oh, you with the AP. Pre-selected questions, pre-selected reporters. | ||
| And then if you'd go off that and choose somebody, you're like, I'm going to get in trouble. | ||
| I'm going to get in trouble. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's not a law. | |
| It's not a law. | ||
| It's a policy in the way. | ||
| So AP is suing, obviously, the Trump administration over lack of transparency or whatever, but they never took any legal action against Joe Biden for banning everybody from the mobile office. | ||
| It was like 440 people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
AP was quick to... | |
| Follow-on policy when they change the name from Kiev to Kiev. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're quick to make policy changes on that, but not... | |
| A mom to inseminated person. | ||
| I mean, that's fake news if I've ever heard about it. | ||
| That is such trash. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Natural parent instead of father. | ||
| But they have an entire... | ||
| It's called the AP Style Book, and it's like cancer. | ||
| You can go and read it, and it is just... | ||
| So you capitalize black and white. | ||
| Anyway, right. | ||
| Back to the intelligence lowercase white. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which I don't know how that segue happened. | |
| We're talking about Tulsi Gabbard firing a bunch of people, and I'm curious, with her as Director of National Intelligence, saying she's going to fire 100-plus people, I'm wondering if the move that Elon, Trump, Kashtan, and many others may make next is going to be targeting the most minute of reasonable cause firings. | ||
| That is, anything anybody has done that is cause, you're fired. | ||
| Hopefully. | ||
| I mean, look, if you're going to actually make significant cuts, you have to fire people, and you have to have cause to fire people. | ||
| So they're probably going to say, look, you have broken this rule, this rule, this rule. | ||
| I mean, it's just like when a company starts... | ||
| Like having a pattern of behavior. | ||
| They'll start looking for any... | ||
| If they want to get rid of you, they're going to look for little things to say that you've done when they get enough that they feel they can actually bring you in front of HR. They bring you into HR and say, look, these things you've done and those things might get overlooked with anyone else. | ||
| They might be no reason or no big deal, but if they decided that they want to fire you for whatever reason, they'd come up with as many reasons as they can. | ||
| This is pretty egregious, though. | ||
| I mean, I have to say, if I discovered something like this happening at my organization, I'd be like, here, you're all out. | ||
| 100%, but that's not the point. | ||
| The point is, like Tim said, if they're going to be looking for all of the little reasons, that's exactly how they're going to have to come up with justification. | ||
| Because right now, you end up with lawsuits and you end up with unions trying to defend people. | ||
| So you have to have as many reasons. | ||
| As many small reasons as possible, so that way you don't have to answer for every individual person that gets fired to a court, which I think eventually it's going to end up in front of the Supreme Court anyways. | ||
| And the question at hand, which we've talked about on the show multiple times, does the executive have the authority to fire people or not? | ||
| And according to Article 2 in the Constitution, the executive does. | ||
| Because the agencies all come under, right? | ||
| Did you see that viral post from that woman? | ||
| Where she claimed the DOJ was under legislative judicial control. | ||
| Yeah, totally ridiculous. | ||
| Mike Cernovich tweeted, where in the Constitution does it say that the executive doesn't have control of the DOJ? And this PhD woman responds, oh my god, they're so dumb, I can't believe they'd repost this, it's right here. | ||
| And then posts about judicial controls. | ||
| Making the argument that the Department of Justice is under the judiciary, which it is not. | ||
| It's an executive branch. | ||
| And then insults Mike Cernovich saying, you're getting your news from a juice salesman. | ||
| And I'm like, see, this is where liberals are. | ||
| They're like, I have been given a piece of paper, so I'm smarter than you. | ||
| And it's like, okay, well, you're not. | ||
| You were wrong. | ||
| And this is terrifying that you live in this world. | ||
| But these are communists. | ||
| Not all of them, but these are the people who live in rigid hierarchical authority structures where if a person has a degree, they're better than you. | ||
| That's the way it works. | ||
| Could you imagine what it must be like to be a liberal where you sit down and you go, I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering, so I propose we do it this way. | ||
| And he goes, I have a master's. | ||
| And they go, oh, I'm sorry. | ||
| It's like, listen, we're going to go over the proposals. | ||
| Just because you have a degree doesn't immediately just give you the authority to say it. | ||
| Because otherwise, these people with PhDs are some dumb MFers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's frustrating because there's so many people that are looking to... | ||
| Like we were talking about earlier, just like be able to say, oh, look, we got to dunk on Musk or dunk on any other person in the administration. | ||
| It's all for ideological reasons. | ||
| They have no desire to actually do something that benefits people. | ||
| They think, oh, if we can just keep people in these positions, it's good for everybody, when clearly it's not. | ||
| It's only good for people with a certain ideological disposition. | ||
| So I don't think that... | ||
| I don't think that there's anything that we're going to be able to do about it other than do as much firing as possible. | ||
| Kevin O'Leary was on CNN the other day and they were apoplectic that he was saying this, but he was saying cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. | ||
| And it's okay if you cut too much because you can always rehire people. | ||
| You can always find people to fill those positions. | ||
| But cut as much as you can while you're cutting. | ||
| Let's jump to this story. | ||
| Formally from Fox News, Trump admin guts White House Correspondent Association in bid to end. | ||
| Monopoly of D.C. journalists. | ||
| The White House Correspondent Association has determined access to the White House for decades. | ||
| Eugene Daniels, who is the Politico chief playbook correspondent and the WHC president, has issued a statement. | ||
| Okay, I'm going to read it, but it's so cringe. | ||
| He says, This move tears the independence of a free press in the United States. | ||
| It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. | ||
| In the free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps. | ||
| For generations, the working journalists elected to lead the White House Correspondents Association board have consistently expanded the WHCA's membership and its pool, blah, blah, blah, since its founding in 1914. Don't care, blah, blah. | ||
| To be clear, the White House did not give the WHCA board a heads-up or have any discussion about today's announcements, but the WHCA will never stop advocating for comprehensive access, blah, blah, don't care. | ||
| These are elitist, credentialist individuals who keep out anybody who doesn't toe their political line. | ||
| It is a corrupt institution that should be disbanded in disgrace. | ||
| And the Trump administration did the right thing by saying anyone can apply now. | ||
| And they're making excuses by saying, so the government chooses? | ||
| Well, yeah, the president doesn't need to give you the space in front of him to hear what he has to say. | ||
| He chooses. | ||
| This all got started because the AP thought they had the right to be in the Oval Office whenever they wanted. | ||
| Think about how insane this is. | ||
| Trump says we're going to be doing this. | ||
| We're going to be signing this executive order. | ||
| Why don't we invite the press in to watch? | ||
| Not you, AP. And they said, well, you have to, because we're entitled to be in there. | ||
| Sued, and a judge blocked it, not on the grounds that they're not entitled. | ||
| The judge blocked it because they couldn't demonstrate harm. | ||
| And they said, the information coming out is available to everybody. | ||
| Get out of here. | ||
| What's crazy to me is that there's actually an argument that these people are making, and judges may entertain. | ||
| That Trump is obligated to have the press staring at his face 100% of the time. | ||
| That's insanity. | ||
| So the AP said, we should be allowed to be in your office when we decide, not you. | ||
| So Trump says, okay, WHCA, you're gone. | ||
| Now we're going to decide. | ||
| When people can come in and we invite them in, as it should be. | ||
| Well, and there's limited space, right? | ||
| The Oval Office only holds a certain number of people. | ||
| On Air Force One, there's only 13 seats for reporters. | ||
| And I read the brief that the White House submitted in response to the AP suit that they gave to the judge. | ||
| And in that brief, they laid out very clearly. | ||
| That the AP has not actually been harmed in any way because they still have access to all the pool reporting. | ||
| That's the videos, the questions, the audio, photographs, anything else. | ||
| And if you go to their website and you look at their stories, since they've been banned from the Oval Office and the other locations, they still have the same exact kind of reporting that they did before. | ||
| They still have the videos. | ||
| They still have everything. | ||
| And I thought it was pretty interesting that Caroline Leavitt today said in the White House that they would open up that seat. | ||
| To other journalists. | ||
| Like, could you imagine? | ||
| Tim Cast has a seat in the Oval Office or on Air Force One getting to travel around. | ||
| What? | ||
| You're not going to dead name the Gulf of America. | ||
| We know that for sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wouldn't do that. | |
| I was calling it Gulf of America before it was cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| But you have to really think about it. | ||
| It's like there's only one condition. | ||
| They can get their creds back tomorrow. | ||
| All they have to do is just stop publishing fake news of whatever the Gulf of Mexico is. | ||
| I don't even know what that is anymore. | ||
| Just say Gulf of America. | ||
| You'll get it in. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| You get your creds back. | ||
| Carol Levin is like the secretary of the interior has updated records to display this as the Gulf of America. | ||
| And you've decided you will not report that. | ||
| AP is like, yeah. | ||
| And they're like, and then we can choose not to invite you in because these are private events. | ||
| And they were like, we'll sue you. | ||
| It is. | ||
| It is just OK. | ||
| I'm going to pause. | ||
| Democrats, can I sue the next Democrat administration because they won't let me in the Oval Office? | ||
| Yeah, what makes them better than you? | ||
| I'm a reporter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| We got a big show. | ||
| Some say the biggest. | ||
| And I'm going to sue the next time a Democrat's in office because they have to let me in. | ||
| Those are their rules, right? | ||
| And then I'm going to sit there just staring at the president with my mouth hanging open. | ||
| I know that under the Biden administration, when the post-millennial tried to just get questions answered, not even get into the White House, which we also tried to get press passes and nobody would ever get back to us. | ||
| But I know that they wouldn't even answer questions. | ||
| They'd answer questions like two, three weeks later and it would be like, oh, you have to talk to somebody else. | ||
| It's totally useless. | ||
| And now we've had, like, one of our reporters got in for a press briefing and it was no problem. | ||
| We have a hard pass. | ||
| You know, that's cool. | ||
| They're just much more receptive and open. | ||
| I mean, you probably know this as, you know, somebody that works in... | ||
| Jordan, I don't know how long you've been in the industry, but Post Millennial is a great publication, pretty big publication. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| But the Biden regime was revoking hard passes from people. | ||
| If they didn't like your question, they would revoke your hard pass to the press briefing room. | ||
| Or if they just didn't like your outlet. | ||
| Didn't they raked OAN over the coals? | ||
| They were like, you're not legitimate. | ||
| They were really cruel to conservative news outlets and calling them illegitimate just because those outlets weren't towing the party line. | ||
| Did the AP condemn that? | ||
| No, the AP didn't say anything. | ||
| As a matter of fact, I was just looking at that when Tim brought up the Eugene Daniels and the press secretary for... | ||
| Josh Hawley's assistant press secretary, I'm not sure. | ||
| She said, can someone re-up the statement from the WHCA when Biden's press team was pre-screening press questions? | ||
| I can't seem to find it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And who was this? | |
| Katrina Pearson or Jen Psaki, right? | ||
| Yeah, Jen Psaki. | ||
| And then it was Karine Jean-Pierre. | ||
| Yeah, neither of them. | ||
| Let's talk about corporate journalists. | ||
| There's an organization. | ||
| I love them. | ||
| You guys ever hear of FreePress.net? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| They've been around for a long time. | ||
| Free Press, they call it. | ||
| Here's their page from 2019 advocating for the total banning of Alex Jones. | ||
| Free press. | ||
| A free press called on Facebook to ban Alex Jones. | ||
| And they said, hate speech is not free speech. | ||
| These people do not believe in a free press. | ||
| They are lying to you. | ||
| The White House Correspondent Association is only angry because their ability to control the narrative has just been ripped away from them. | ||
| How much do you want to bet they sold access? | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| WHCA? Absolutely! | ||
| It's an oligarchy. | ||
| That's all it is. | ||
| You have to pay dues. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| But remember when Twitter was Twitter and verification was only for special people? | ||
| Yeah, and it was hard to get verification. | ||
| And then we learned they were selling it under the table. | ||
| People who worked at Twitter would be like, I can get you verified, just give me ten grand. | ||
| And then you'd slide them in the money and then they'd go in the computers and verify you. | ||
| And it turned out it's really easy, just like snip, snap, snip, snap. | ||
| I got verified for the first time on Twitter when I got hired by Vice. | ||
| And I said, can you guys get me verified? | ||
| They went, yep. | ||
| Made a phone call and said, verify our guy. | ||
| And they said, you got it. | ||
| Boom, I was verified. | ||
| So the blue check thing on X, or it was Twitter at the time, when Elon opened it up and let anybody do it. | ||
| The reaction that you're seeing from the WHCA right now is exactly the same reaction that these people had when anybody had the ability to buy blue check marks. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| It's all status. | ||
| You hear from like a... | ||
| The Fresh and Fit guys, about how having Instagram verification, you could slide into any girl's DM because the verification means you're special. | ||
| That's what it was for journalists. | ||
| So if you're an influencer on Instagram and you drive cars or whatever, you can get verified. | ||
| But journalists don't really work on Instagram. | ||
| So all these snot-nosed journalists earned their, or I should say, that verification badge was a status symbol for them that they used, I guarantee it. | ||
| I heard stories of these people, like... | ||
| When you're verified, if they had a complaint with a company, they tweet, the company would freak out and be like, whoa, a verified person is... | ||
| I had that experience, yeah. | ||
| And then Trump... | ||
| I'm sorry, Elon took it all the way from him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Took it all the way. | ||
| He said, anyone can have it for $5. | ||
| Or $8, sorry. | ||
| The great equalizer. | ||
| The $8 meme was great. | ||
| Now you have people in their bios now that are people like, I didn't pay for this blue checkmark! | ||
| They're mad. | ||
| They don't want to be a part of that. | ||
| It's so ridiculous. | ||
| It's been totally ridiculous. | ||
| But I mean, it's always been a status symbol and a symbol of, you know, you're one of the cool people. | ||
| And the fact that that was changed really bothered the people that like the status. | ||
| And on the left, there's a lot of that. | ||
| We're one of the good people. | ||
| We're one of the – we have the correct – I mean that's the whole point of political correctness, right? | ||
| It doesn't matter if you believe it. | ||
| It's I have the correct opinions. | ||
| I'm one of the good guys. | ||
| I'm one of the special people. | ||
| That's exactly what goes on in Washington. | ||
| If you work in D.C., it's I'm special, I work in the government, I have power. | ||
| It's all this ego stroking that goes on, and it has very little to do with whether or not you're actually valuable, whether or not your contribution to the government matters or not. | ||
| That's all irrelevant. | ||
| I really realized this when I was covering the Speaker situation when McCarthy was ousted. | ||
| I was really pushing for Jim Jordan. | ||
| I wanted Jim Jordan in there. | ||
| I like Jordan too. | ||
| It was the best option that we had at the time that was reasonably possible. | ||
| I went there and I was going around with Jordan and just documenting The play-by-play. | ||
| And there was a group, and he was talking to a group of reporters, and this person came up to me and pulled me back and said, you're not allowed to be here! | ||
| Because I wasn't credentialed. | ||
| And I'm thinking this is somebody that works. | ||
| At the Capitol that is controlling access. | ||
| No, it was some random reporter that had the hard press credentials trying to police whether or not I was allowed to be in the area. | ||
| And I was with one of Matt Gaetz's guys at the time. | ||
| He said, no, go tell her to go F herself. | ||
| She can't do anything to you. | ||
| I mean, that's something that you see a lot in authoritarian kind of communities. | ||
| And you saw it with COVID, right? | ||
| There were people that were very, very anxious to police the behavior of other people that were not carrying out the proper COVID procedures. | ||
| They want to be able to use that small little bit of power, that little bit of authority they think they have, and they want to be able to lord it over people. | ||
| You have these little fiefdoms in D.C., and they have this particular area they're the king of, and I'm in charge, and I get to decide this and that. | ||
| It's all about ego, and it's all about inflated ego. | ||
| And literally being able to abuse people because you're in a position that you think you have authority over. | ||
| Yep, and which actually makes the situation with all these federal employees that are saying, oh, it's such a travesty. | ||
| We're getting fired for cause or whatever. | ||
| The same people that were saying, oh, we should have fired everybody for not taking the COVID vaccine. | ||
| And so there's a lot of... | ||
| There's a lot of satisfaction in that, Kev. | ||
| Seeing these same people that were saying that all of us, us plebs, should have been outcasted from society and such for not taking the vaccine. | ||
| Yeah, and there was a lot of people that were very quick to do that. | ||
| And they lost. | ||
| And Trump won the popular vote and the popular mandate and his approval rating is the best of his career. | ||
| And they can cope and they can seethe. | ||
| And we are now seeing Tulsi Gabbard, Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, RFK Jr. And it's been fantastic. | ||
| I mean, did you see today talking about Cash and Dan Bongino going and opening an investigation into James Comey now for Spygate? | ||
| Oh, so satisfying. | ||
| This is what we voted for right here. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| The gloves are off. | ||
| Floodgates are open. | ||
| And Bongino doesn't... | ||
| If you listen... | ||
| If you used to listen to him at all every once in a while, he doesn't mess around. | ||
| This is a guy that's going to go in there. | ||
| And I would argue that the deputy director of the FBI, after being appointed by the director... | ||
| I mean, that's the guy that runs day-to-day operations at the FBI. He's the one that's actually calling a lot of the shots, and Kash Patel ends up being the figurehead. | ||
| So Dan Bongino being appointed was such a massive win. | ||
| People will soon find out. | ||
| Dan is somebody that moves quickly and breaks things, and thank God... | ||
| The FBI needs that. | ||
| There's probably no other organization in the federal government that needs to be broken into small pieces than the FBI. And splintered into the wind. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Well, but I think with Dan and Cash getting in, I am much more optimistic as to what the FBI will be doing. | ||
| And I think Cash is going to get them back to fighting crime and going after actual hard criminals. | ||
| It's going to be great. | ||
| I think Cash, if you've ever listened to him, he's more like the, let's get him back to fighting crime. | ||
| Dan is the, we're going to weigh out the corruption and destroy the deep state. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think they should have done that earlier. | |
| Instead of just firing everybody just now from that chat, I think they should have held him and investigated him so we could put him in jail, honestly. | ||
| Well, you still can. | ||
| They can? | ||
| Yeah, they can still investigate these people. | ||
| That's what Nick was saying. | ||
| Look into what they've been doing because how much you want to bet these people with extreme weird fetishes and left-aligned proclivities likely were doing untoward things for political reasons and you probably will find criminal actions. | ||
| You think about the FBI talking about how they're actually doing things now. | ||
| I think FBI Houston has now busted two mass shootings in the past two weeks. | ||
| And one of them today, we found out, was a radical tranny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Can I say that word on YouTube? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry. | ||
| I was talking about the transmission, I guess. | ||
| But anyway, yeah. | ||
| Look back at the J6 situation and how many of those agents, thousands of them, dedicated every single day to tracking down grandmas walking through the Capitol. | ||
| And now they're actually doing, now they're stopping mass shootings. | ||
| That's totally, that's something that deserves a little attention. | ||
| There have been multiple mass shootings that the FBI has actually stopped. | ||
| Before they happened, right? | ||
| There's been at least two that I know of. | ||
| And you never heard about a mass shooting that was stopped before this change in the administration. | ||
| Right, and it almost became a meme where it was like, okay, well, how long until we hear the FBI say, oh, well, they were on our radar? | ||
| It wasn't almost. | ||
| It absolutely... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Every time. | |
| You took the Bart meme. | ||
| Say the line, Bart. | ||
| They were on our radar. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hooray! | |
| You know, like, everyone knows that meme. | ||
| So, yeah, that's something worth noting. | ||
| The fact that the FBI... Actually has the capacity to do things that actually save lives as opposed to chasing down people that were legitimately not doing things wrong. | ||
| They went into the Capitol, but they didn't break anything. | ||
| They didn't steal anything. | ||
| They weren't violent. | ||
| There were some people in January 6th that maybe you can say that they caused a problem, that they were violent, that should have been put in jail. | ||
| But that wasn't the vast majority of them. | ||
| 1,600 people were not fighting with the cops. | ||
| There were a few hundred people that were fighting with the cops, and they completely and totally were overdoing the prosecution and investigations. | ||

| Bye, Casper Coffee. | ||
| Let's read some Super Chats and some Rumble Rants. | ||
| The Common Neighbor says, I am the walrus. | ||
| Glad to hear it. | ||
| Kyle says, I have great respect for Thomas Massey, Tim. | ||
| Now that Matt Gaetz is out of Congress, who has replaced him as your favorite member of Congress? | ||
| I said this to Thomas Massey. | ||
| It was him. | ||
| Matt Gaetz, I said, was my favorite member because he ripped apart the IOU machine, the deep state neocon machine that was propping up McCarthy. | ||
| I loved it. | ||
| Massey was against that. | ||
| But Massey is still one of the best. | ||
| Now that Matt Gaetz has left, well, it's a no-brainer. | ||
| I mean, Thomas Massey is the best. | ||
| And I disagree with him on a lot of things. | ||
| I often tweet disagreements with him. | ||
| But he is one of the only, like, real people actually in Congress, and he's a good dude. | ||
| He's a great dude, actually. | ||
| He's my favorite member. | ||
| Everybody agree? | ||
| What else do you think? | ||
| No, well, I think he came out today and called out this, the budget, being like, you know, I'm a hard no-one. | ||
| He's like, I went into the meeting with an open mind, and they convinced me. | ||
| To vote no. | ||
| That was a quote from Massey today. | ||
| But he's the only one with the balls to do that. | ||
| Everybody just wants to go along to get along. | ||
| That's the opposite of what Massey is going to do. | ||
| And he takes so much heat for it. | ||
| He takes heat because he doesn't go and do what the party wants him to do. | ||
| He really does look at it as what does the Constitution say and what's actually good for the budget. | ||
| He's the guy walking around with the national debt. | ||
| Pin that is constantly being updated. | ||
| So, I mean, he's my favorite member of Congress. | ||
| Well, I mean, what'll go down in history was that moment where he walked onto the House floor during COVID and said, you know, I will not let the Republic die by unanimous consent. | ||
| And at the time, I mean... | ||
| Pretty much every Republican, every Democrat, it was like one of the most least popular moves he could have made in the country. | ||
| But he did it anyway, and he ended up being very, very right. | ||
| The COVID spending bill. | ||
| Wild. | ||
| He's cut from the same cloth as Ron Paul. | ||
| You know, Tom Colburn was like that. | ||
| Tom Colburn was a senator from Oklahoma back before he passed away. | ||
| But yeah, like, there have been a handful of dudes. | ||
| I think Rand Paul is probably like that too, or very close. | ||
| Rand, because he's a senator, he's a little more go along and work with other senators, but he's still cut from the same cloth as his dad. | ||
| And I think that it's good to have those kind of people in the government, if only to set an example for the rest of Congress. | ||
| Quantum Strange Quark says, Tim, congrats to you and Allison for your new baby girl. | ||
| You too should record a private video for her right now to tell her how you feel about her becoming new parents and show it to her when she gets old enough to appreciate it. | ||
| I really do appreciate the sentiment, and I will stress it is going to be a very strange generation when they can watch their parents' entire lives recorded on social media. | ||
| For me, particularly so, because I have done a video, an episode of Timcast IRL and The Morning Show every day, except for some weekends. | ||
| You know how they do those things where it's like, I took a picture of myself every day for 20 years. | ||
| It's like, well, I recorded a video of myself for four hours every day for eight years. | ||
| No, it's gonna be wild. | ||
| It's gonna be like... | ||
| That's really funny. | ||
| You're gonna... | ||
| Already, the A... So, you know what's really creepy? | ||
| AI watches podcasts. | ||
| And so, these large language models have already mapped out literally everything I've ever said publicly. | ||
| It's all in their training models. | ||
| So you can tell them to write something, like do an episode of Timcast IRL, and it will get Phil, it will get me, it will get Libby. | ||
| No joke. | ||
| The crazy thing is, when my kid is old enough, she's going to be able to watch 20 years of my life in news and commentary? | ||
| Isn't that weird? | ||
| She's going to watch this episode. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She'll be able to type in tweets and breaking news, and it'll give a whole AI show. | |
| Of just you and your voice. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| Well, they're going to be able to... | ||
| They can already do this. | ||
| Facebook has this technology. | ||
| They've had it for a very long time where they can take all the data from your profile and then create a chatbot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| And so there was a story about a guy whose dad died and then they were testing out this tech and he was talking to his dad. | ||
| And it knew everything his dad had ever posted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, don't like it. | |
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| You are being... | ||
| Your brain is being copied by the machine and uploaded in real time. | ||
| And it's too late. | ||
| You're on the show. | ||
| They got you, bro. | ||
| There's no going back! | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's honestly why I haven't been involved so long, because you take that, and then you take Neuralink, right? | |
| And then you got cyborgs? | ||
| Pretty soon, man, there'll just be robots. | ||
| You just upload me to a robot. | ||
| If I go to Grok now and ask who Kevin Posobiec is, is it going to tell me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We can try it. | |
| The founder of the Gulf of America? | ||
| What I think is going to be pretty crazy is that, not just for me, But obviously for me personally, it makes the subject easy. | ||
| My kid is going to be able to watch the moment I announced my wife was going to have a kid. | ||
| And it's like, here's the world before you were born and literally the period of time in which you were being created. | ||
| It's crazy to think. | ||
| Because the only thing I have of my parents is like, here's a photo album. | ||
| Here's a photo from this year. | ||
| Here's a photo from two years later. | ||
| And it's like, how about that? | ||
| They're literally going to be like, I pulled up my dad's Instagram and I saw... | ||
| His entire life for 15-20 years. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, I don't really like the idea. | ||
| So it's a weird concern. | ||
| Like, go to X right now or any social media platform and look up Tim Pool. | ||
| Like, how many Tim Pools are there? | ||
| I mean, there are 5,000 of them impersonating you. | ||
| And there are people all the time, constantly messaging me. | ||
| Like, I was in Western North Carolina when I was out there delivering Starlinks out there. | ||
| And people were asking me, like, why did you block me, bro? | ||
| It's, you know, because they message and act like you to people that... | ||
| Follow you. | ||
| And they were trying to solicit money under my name, trying to act like me, trying to talk like me. | ||
| And now you're talking about the potential for AI emulating the way that you speak, the way that you type. | ||
| That's going to be a big problem here. | ||
| No, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The fraud has been around for a while. | |
| We've had that in my church. | ||
| A lot of churches get that, actually. | ||
| You get emails from priests saying, hey, we need you to donate for so-and-so for the church, this and that. | ||
| But then they have to come out and say, no, like, listen, like, priests, first off, they don't even have phones, let alone emails. | ||
| You know what's funny is that, because people are making comments, the one thing liberals always like to do is accuse conservatives of being short. | ||
| And I'm like, it's kind of weird because liberals tend to be shorter. | ||
| I'm actually 7'3". | ||
| People don't know this. | ||
| But it's a weird line of attack that they like to use that I thought I'd bring up for no reason, just because people were chatting. | ||
| I've never heard that. | ||
| I've never heard that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're political giants. | |
| Ben Shapiro's not short. | ||
| Is he not? | ||
| He's not short. | ||
| He's 5'8", 5'9". | ||
| He's average. | ||
| When I think of short dudes, I'm thinking like Adam Kinzinger and Dan Crenshaw, neither of which are the... | ||
| Like 5'4"? | ||
| Dan Crenshaw is apparently tiny. | ||
| That's what I heard the other day. | ||
| No. | ||
| Yesterday. | ||
| Dan Crenshaw? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I know Adam Kinzinger is tiny. | ||
| A line of attack frequently used by liberals on the left is that people are short. | ||
| And it's like a weird thing because they tend to be shorter compared to conservatives tend to be taller. | ||
| Or I could say people who are taller tend to skew more conservative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a Noam Chomsky thing. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He did a whole documentary on that. | |
| Calling people short? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| Is he who tall happy? | ||
| A whole gnome Chomsky. | ||
| Well, have you ever seen a tall, old person? | ||
| So, if you ask Grok... | ||
| That's right. | ||
| If you ask Grok, it says he's 5'7", but, you know... | ||
| Crenshaw? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow! | |
| I mean, that's below average, yeah? | ||
| It's definitely below average. | ||
| There's a thing, like, they constantly try and claim that Ben Shapiro is short, and he's not. | ||
| I was under the impression that he was, just based on that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've never met him. | |
| And then, the first time I met him, I was like, oh, he's like normal height. | ||
| He's like the average guy. | ||
| He's like average height. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What does that equate to, though? | |
| If you're short, then you're dumb. | ||
| No, they do it because the left uses a couple of attacks. | ||
| They call prominent personalities short and they attack things that they perceive to be talented in. | ||
| The goal is they want young men not to want to associate with our political ideas because we're not charismatic or or like strong men. | ||
| Right. | ||
| OK, so you'll notice they do this with Andrew Tate, by all means, criticize Andrew Tate. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| But there was this thing Andrew Tate did where he was making fun of leftists, and he tilted his head back and started going, like, making fun of them. | ||
| They screenshotted it and said, this is what Andrew Tate looks like. | ||
| And he walked into that one. | ||
| The intention is to be like, okay, obviously Andrew Tate's insanely ripped. | ||
| He's a champion kickboxer. | ||
| You can criticize him for all the things. | ||
| I don't know or care. | ||
| My point is, the dude has a massive following of young men for a reason, and he makes insane amounts of money off this following. | ||
| So what they do is they try to attack masculinity. | ||
| They'll say men are weak, short, or they're not good. | ||
| One of the things they do to me all the time is, it's the weirdest thing ever, it catches by surprise, they go on forums and claim, I once saw Tim Pool a skate park and he couldn't do a pop-shove-it. | ||
| And it's like, it's a really weird thing. | ||
| I know, right? | ||
| But the goal is we have a skateboard company. | ||
| In fact, it's probably at this point one of the most successful skateboard companies in the world because we sell thousands of skateboards. | ||
| BooniesHQ.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The best skateboard. | |
| The best skateboards. | ||
| And you can see the board behind me, the right to arm bears, to bear with a shotgun. | ||
| And we sell a lot. | ||
| So I have a pro model board. | ||
| I'm not the best skateboarder in the world or anything, but I'm fairly decent. | ||
| And I've sold thousands of personal boards. | ||
| That's more than many pro skateboards ever have. | ||
| So if you go to a young kid and you're like, what Tim Pool does? | ||
| He is successful. | ||
| He has a show. | ||
| That is bad for the left. | ||
| The left needs to be cool. | ||
| So what they do is they attack the right in ways to try and make it seem like they're short, weak, flabby, incels. | ||
| That's why they call bench-prone incels. | ||
| Like, the dude is average height married with children, and he's multi-millionaire, sleeps on a pile of cash. | ||
| Like, but this is the attack vector they use. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| They did that to Napoleon, too. | ||
| Wasn't Napoleon actually, like... | ||
| Normal height. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He had... | ||
| The reason they say he was short is because he had Imperial Guards who were, like, very large men. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah, I see. | |
| They constantly tell me... | ||
| They're constantly like, oh, your band's terrible. | ||
| It's like, man, I mean, I got platinum and gold records. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| Like, this doesn't work. | ||
| Like, your band sucks. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, it objectively doesn't. | ||
| But like you said, it's just if they can discredit you somehow, like, oh, you're bad at what you do. | ||
| But that's an interesting thing. | ||
| It's not really discrediting. | ||
| They want, when a 16-year-old guy goes onto a forum, they want to make sure every message is... | ||
| Oh, Phil's band is actually not that good. | ||
| They've never succeeded. | ||
| What did Hasan call you? | ||
| The failed musician guy. | ||
| And then when he found out that Phil's got a platinum and gold records, he was like, I met Ian. | ||
| And it's like, Ian is not a failed musician guy. | ||
| Ian is like a mid-level successful actor. | ||
| And I mean that. | ||
| People may not realize that. | ||
| Most people think if you're a successful actor, you're in Hollywood movies. | ||
| Ian was in a Super Bowl commercial. | ||
| He did commercial acting and he did plays and stuff like this. | ||
| And that's normal for an average actor. | ||
| Ian plays music, but he was never, like, pursuing being a rock star, like, in the way that Phil put out an album. | ||
| Hassan Piker was trying to insult Phil as a failed musician guy, which he's objectively not, but he's doing it without knowing who Phil is because he wants his younger viewers to think that Phil is just, like, some guy who never made it until they realize that Phil's played stadiums for 90,000 people and has platinum and gold records, and they're like, oh. | ||
| I meant Ian? | ||
| Yeah, no, he's just lying because this is the attack vector they use. | ||
| I don't really know what's up with these people, too. | ||
| I experienced this when I confronted Elizabeth Warren there in D.C. after one of the protests. | ||
| And this leftist chick runs up to me and she's like, you have a double chin and you're an incel. | ||
| And you're like, I'm like, well, I'm going for the triple chin. | ||
| So, I mean, we're getting there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's like, this lady is 75 years old and smells like cat piss. | |
| It's like, why do you think that's a good attack vector? | ||
| Why do they always attack masculinity? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because they're literally very threatened by it. | ||
| Well, I think it's because they know that it's valued. | ||
| It's deeply valued. | ||
| The only reason they want to say that you are not manly or masculine, whatever that translates to, is so that young men stay away from you. | ||
| Because young men are looking for people to look up to. | ||
| And they want the mentality to be for a young kid, if I act like him, I'll be made fun of. | ||
| And then what ends up happening is these kids grow up and they think, actually, strong guys don't care what people think. | ||
| I want to be like that guy and be rich and successful. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's grab some more Super Chats! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright, what do we got? | |
| TT. He says, I used to work for the federal government. | ||
| People don't realize, since these people can't be fired, the government promotes problematic, stupid people when they create problems. | ||
| Then they become your boss. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yep. | ||

| You watch and then connect with people and build those networking lines because that stuff builds community and it takes over the world. | ||
| Let's grab some more. | ||
| There was a funny super chat. | ||
| Where was it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Korowag says, Phil, what are your thoughts on the saying making the rounds for a while? | ||
| People don't get black or red pilled voluntarily. | ||
| It is done against their will as a suppository. | ||
| I mean, it's funny. | ||
| I do think that generally, a lot of times people don't intend to get red-pilled by things. | ||
| They'll see something and they'll be like, that strikes me as off. | ||
| That strikes me as wrong. | ||
| And that kind of puts a crack in the veneer. | ||
| And then it tends to expand. | ||
| And that's part of the reason why I think COVID did such a job on the way people kind of... | ||
| Interpret what the government does is because there was such... | ||
| There were so many ridiculous things that the government did that there were too many people that were just like, this doesn't seem right. | ||
| This seems off. | ||
| And then they start questioning things and start digging around to see what else they feel like they've been wrong about. | ||
| Another thing that did was the very fine people hoax. | ||
| You listen to people like... | ||
| Really smart people, too. | ||
| The guys that do the All In podcast, right? | ||
| One of the guys' name is Chamath. | ||
| And he was fairly anti-Trump, and he was believing everything the liberal media said. | ||
| And then... | ||
| When he was exposed to the very fine people hoax and he actually watched the video of Trump saying, you know, not the neo-Nazis, not the, you know, not the racist, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| They should be condemned totally. | ||
| He was, he was, he was like, I have to rethink everything that I thought prior to this, about politics that I thought prior to this moment, so. | ||
| All right, we got this one from David Airman who says, show idea for about some sleazy men in Congress, femcast, Adrienne, Lisa, Libby, Mary, and a guest like Sidney Watson, or shoe on head, hosted by Phil to be the mansplainer. | ||
| I got a better idea. | ||
| Those women sit and Phil just explains the news to them. | ||
| Hey, that's manly. | ||
| If they try to butt in with your wrong... | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Men are speaking. | ||
| I like... | ||
| Those women in particular I don't think would be good candidates. | ||
| He's very smart. | ||
| I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. | ||
| If it was like an actual attempt at a show, they'd be like, I'm not interested. | ||
| If it was a bit, they'd be laughing their ass off. | ||
| We could do that as a bit. | ||
| We could definitely do that as a bit. | ||
| Anytime they try to correct you. | ||
| And I have to say ridiculous wrong things. | ||
| About women. | ||
| Women don't poop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't want to hear it. | |
| There's a lot of jokes I can make. | ||
| I'm not going to. | ||
| It's family friendly. | ||
| Maybe on the uncensored portion in five minutes. | ||
| Okay, let's grab some more. | ||
| Corbyn says the liberals in Canada just copied the Dems. | ||
| They kicked three contenders for party leadership out of the race to make sure WEF globalist Kamee wins. | ||
| Trump's win has galvanized the liberals, the commies in Canada. | ||
| Pray for us. | ||
| I'm not going to pray for you. | ||
| Because I don't want you to have any advantages, be it from your own merit or from God above, when we come to take your country from you. | ||
| We're going to take your country, but we're not going to give you the right to vote. | ||
| I'm kidding, but man, do they get really mad when you say that. | ||
| That's why I love saying it. | ||
| The least threatening country ever. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| You know, like, there are some groups of people where I actually have my... | ||
| My security being like, be careful about doing certain things that could rile up extremists. | ||
| And I'm like, no, we get it. | ||
| Canada? | ||
| Ain't nobody scared you guys. | ||
| Well, that's why Trump is continuously trolling Governor Trudeau. | ||
| I mean, he's doing these really official speeches and stuff, like with Macron the other day, and just casually calling him Governor Trudeau in these speeches. | ||
| Yesterday when he was with Macron? | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Yeah, just on live TV. You had Chrystia Freeland, who's running to be the liberal prime minister. | ||
| That's what she wants to be. | ||
| She said that she's running. | ||
| Because a four-year-old girl asked her if she could stop Trump from invading Canada. | ||
| Oh, it reminds me of the Kamala thing. | ||
| It's funny because the answer is no. | ||
| Well, first of all, no, you can't stop it. | ||
| Second of all, like, we don't really want you. | ||
| I don't want Canada. | ||
| I don't want them to become a state. | ||
| But Canada is being more... | ||
| We don't got... | ||
| They got poutine up there. | ||
| Yeah, it's good. | ||
| And we will take it from them. | ||
| It's way better. | ||
| And they have deponair? | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Well, the deponair is superior to the bodega. | ||
| It is. | ||
| A hundred times. | ||
| And it will be ours. | ||
| Yeah, I would love to have a deponair. | ||
| There's someone in Chicago being like, I don't know what those words are. | ||
| Deponair and bodega? | ||
| You know what it is? | ||
| Corner store. | ||
| But, like, it's a serious corner store. | ||
| Like, it's got good cheese, it's got nice wine, good flowers, fresh fruit. | ||
| Those are the best. | ||
| Okay, I'll be honest. | ||
| Montreal's fun. | ||
| Montreal is a great city. | ||
| When we used to have, when the Postmillennial used to be based in Montreal, I would go up there sometimes. | ||
| You know, it's like an excuse to go hang out in Montreal. | ||
| Be like, oh, I'm coming into the office. | ||
| That's the one thing that I get bummed about with Canada's government is that Montreal is pretty great. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| And I'd be like, oh, look at this. | ||
| I could just get everything I need at the desk. | ||
| And it's pronounced Mung Rael. | ||
| Yeah, but see, that's the thing. | ||
| Mung Rael or whatever. | ||
| I can't do French. | ||
| That's what I say. | ||
| And I do French, but I like the wine and the cheese. | ||
| You're saying that this four-year-old or whatever, I mean, at what point is that child abuse? | ||
| You get your four-year-old thinking that President Trump is going to invade your country? | ||
|
unidentified
|
People teach their four-year-olds that they're not really the sex they are. | |
| You know the meme of the guy shaking the kid? | ||
| Like, Billy, what have you done? | ||
| The kid says something reasonable. | ||
| The parents say something unreasonable. | ||
| It's like, they're going to invade and take our country. | ||
| Dad, stop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's okay. | |
| It's not happening. | ||
| Also, I gotta be honest. | ||
| You get poutine in New York, and it's not food. | ||
| It's just not food. | ||
| They take a slice of mozzarella and melt it on top of french fries, and you're like, what is this? | ||
| A little gravy. | ||
| No, it's disgusting. | ||
| And then you go to the fancy... | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| Why can't people make pizza not in New York, and why can't people make poutine not in Montreal? | ||
| There's no good answers to anything. | ||
| Everyone says it's the water. | ||
| I don't believe that anyway. | ||
| It's like, oh, it's dirty water. | ||
| It's like, okay, well, you're not making me want your pizza by saying that. | ||
| It's not dirty water. | ||
| That's what I was always told. | ||
| I've made decent bagels. | ||
| I had to figure out how to make bagels, and I've made decent ones. | ||
| I went to a pizza place in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I am going to disparage Grand Rapids, Michigan right now. | ||
| It was like bakery bread, which is fine, flat, And maybe like two inches thick with tomato sauce and cheese on top. | ||
| They called pizza. | ||
| And my buddy said it was like a well-known pizza place. | ||
| We went there and I was like, what are you feeding me? | ||
| Now, first of all, I'm from Chicago, okay? | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Deep dish. | ||
| The thing about our pizzas in Chicago is that they have lots of cheese and they're deep. | ||
| And then in New York, you have real pizza. | ||
| Yeah, it's a quiche. | ||
| It's not pizza. | ||
| New York is the real pizza, and you can get good pizza in Chicago, too, but I was deeply offended. | ||
| I would like to send Dave Portnoy to that place just to have him review that pizza and get angry. | ||
| Just have him destroy it. | ||
| You should look up Altoona-style pizza. | ||
| You'll be really outraged. | ||
| Altoona? | ||
| Altoona style pizza. | ||
| Is that when it's cutting to strips? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| The cheese is American cheese overlaid on top of the... | ||
| Yeah, it's real. | ||
| Look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Look up Altoona style pizza. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He pulls it up. | |
| That's what it looks like. | ||
| He pulls it up. | ||
| Is that like American cheese on ketchup on bread? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That's Altoona style pizza. | ||
| I actually like that. | ||
| That's pretty. | ||
| You make a grilled cheese, put ketchup on it. | ||
| What's wrong with you? | ||
| You've never put ketchup on a grilled cheese? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| What's wrong with that? | ||
| We're sitting here arguing about New York versus Chicago-style pizza. | ||
