Hello and welcome back to Timcast IRL. | ||
I'm your host, Tim Poole. | ||
Sorry, I was out for a little bit. | ||
I was getting some facial reconstruction surgery and a beard implant. | ||
We have an amazing show for you tonight. | ||
We're going to be talking about what's trending developments in the trans shooter in Minnesota. | ||
We're going to be covering Mexican drug cartels, developments in the pursuit of corruption around George Soros. | ||
we're also going to be covering the international censorship affairs and the Trump white houses dueling diplomacy with the European union and UK and what that means for free speech in America. | ||
So let's talk about some great cast brew coffee that, I'm just going to put some of this on screen. | ||
This is Queen Josie here with our featured products. | ||
I've been drinking Cassbrew coffee a long time. | ||
I know our whole team loves it. | ||
Appalachian Knights, whole bean. | ||
Stand Your Ground, also whole bean. | ||
You can even drink Ian's Graphene Dream. | ||
If you're not into coffee, perhaps you like skateboards. | ||
Welcome to our Boonies store. | ||
We've got all sorts of boards. | ||
There's actually a sign in our skate park that says be gay. | ||
You can make of that what you will. | ||
We have our Declaration of Independence. | ||
Step on snack board. | ||
Anyway, it's great stuff. | ||
But let's turn now to tonight's lovely guest, Amber Duke. | ||
Hi, thanks for having me. | ||
I'm Amber Duke. | ||
I'm the senior editor of the Daily Caller, co-host of the Hills Rising and Reasons Free Media, and you can find me on X at Amber Marie Duke. | ||
Hi, everyone. | ||
My name is Mary Morgan, and you can usually find me on Pop Culture Crisis here at Timcast. | ||
I'm happy to be back. | ||
Hello, everybody. | ||
My name is Philip Bonti. | ||
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal and All That Remains. | ||
I'm an anti-communist and a counter revolutionary. | ||
Let's get into it, Mike. | ||
Okay. | ||
First up, this is still trending in the news today. | ||
Corporate media is avoiding all mention of the Minneapolis massacre shooter being trans and all that entails. | ||
This is from the PostMillennial. | ||
Major news outlets avoided or failed to report that the killer who massacred Catholic students at the Annunciation Church and School in Minneapolis on Wednesday identified as transgender. | ||
Those included The New York Times among others. | ||
This is a story that is creating kind of a bit of a cultural schism right now. | ||
What also broke today was that the Minneapolis school shooter Robin Westman confessed he was tired of being trans and wish I had never been brainwashed myself. | ||
So it's a little curious that the media would omit the key fact of him her being trans when what appeared to be motivating him was that he wished he had never been brainwashed into being trans in the first place. | ||
Reading here from the New York Post. | ||
He confessed he was tired of being trans and wished he had never brainwashed himself in a manifesto posted online before he slaughtered two children and wounded 18 more at a Minneapolis church. | ||
He said, I only keep the long hair because it's pretty much my last last shred of being trans. | ||
I'm tired of being trans. | ||
I wish I never brainwash myself. | ||
I too keep the long hair, but you never know because of, you know, how I like to keep my style. | ||
I can't cut my hair now as it would be an embarrassing defeat. | ||
I feel the pain. | ||
And it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. | ||
It always just gets in my way. | ||
I will probably chop it on the day of the attack. | ||
unidentified
|
That's why you got to always keep your hair long. | |
I regret being trans. | ||
I wish I was a girl. | ||
I just know I cannot achieve that body with the technology we have today, I also can't afford that. | ||
Can't afford a haircut. | ||
I like feeling sexy and cute, but my face never matches how I feel. | ||
I hate my face. | ||
Maybe that's why I like furries so much. | ||
You can give yourself a new body and face. | ||
I want to be that black face mask on Beyonce's body, Lamao. | ||
All right. | ||
How do you guys see the developments in this story? | ||
I mean, he was obviously totally tortured, right? | ||
Like, he thought that he was a woman or he wanted to be a woman, he aspired to be a woman, realized that that's not possible. | ||
I mean, even referencing the technology today. | ||
He said, There will never be a technology that can actually make a man woman because being a man is something that goes beyond just your genitalia or what reconstructive surgery can do. | ||
Like they're never going to be able to make men into women. | ||
But he acknowledged that and he had no recourse, he had already kind of destroyed his life. | ||
And I imagine that's medically transitioning, was he on HRT? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Because I only knew about the name change and not the rest of it. | ||
Obviously he had the long hair, but was he medically going through that process? | ||
We still have to find out. | ||
I don't know if that information has been released at all. | ||
Something that really frustrates me is the point scoring, the political point scoring that people have jumped to so quickly before they even knew anything about this case. | ||
Like there was a point minutes, maybe not even hour after the news broke that people found out who this was, but it wasn't confirmed. | ||
It was just from a bunch of Twitter accounts, and then people absolutely sunk their claws into this narrative on the right, and I don't want to care if I sound like a fence-sitter, but I also don't want to be misunderstood for saying this. | ||
I just have a gut feeling that the trans aspect of this, while it is important to talk about and is not to be discounted for one combination factor in why this happened, It does not explain the whole story. | ||
And I honestly, I don't think... | ||
I think it, and this is controversial to say, I just think that this is spiritual in nature. | ||
It's definitely demonic. | ||
And there's definitely something that rings to me like this person was communicating with a group or maybe a decentralized fragmentation of groups, including those that I've just heard about in recent weeks, which include seven hundred sixty four and Order of the Nine Angles zero nine a. | ||
I don't know a lot of details because it's borderline impossible to learn about those groups, and that is by design, that's on purpose because they're so decentralized. | ||
There's also a teragram, which I believe refers to groups on telegram that aim to groom and radicalize people, but they're not even radicalizing them into a political ideology. | ||
Their aim is to is toward violence for violence's sake, evil for evil's sake. | ||
They aren't really ideologically. | ||
Yeah, they aren't ideological. | ||
They're they're maybe accelerationist, but they don't even know they don't have an idea of what they're accelerating to. | ||
It's just Satanism. | ||
Like they're very expressly. | ||
Satanist and the illustration of him looking in the mirror and seeing a demon in his reflection tells me enough that like all I need to know about this story. | ||
I would rather not learn more. | ||
Well, this gets to the conflict between identity and ideology. | ||
And if you can pull up on the screen here, so there were obviously a lot of ideological things in the manifesto, pretty spicy opinions about Trump, Israel, Palestine, this sort of thing that made people think, okay, this is a leftist terrorist trans person. | ||
Glenn Greenwald pointed this out. | ||
The shooter also praised Anders Brevick and Bretton Terrant, anti Muslim mass shooters, commemorated the murdered wife of white separatists Randy Weaver and Timothy McVeigh and saying the need to instantly impose a clear ideology is stupid at the same time., you have what is an unavoidable pattern. | ||
This is from Don Trump Jr. pointing out the Denver shooter was trans, the Aberdeen shooter was trans, the Nashville shooter was trans, the Georgia shooter was trans, the Philadelphia shooter was trans, the Uvalde shooter was trans, the Colorado shooter was trans, and now the Minnesota shooter was trans. | ||
And so there is, I think, one of the things that you see being pointed out by the Walsh types is that even if there is no clear ideology, there is something in the water with the untouchable nature of the trans identity until just last year that you could even talk about it frankly. | ||
And what appears to be a kind of underlying mental instability that tends to disproportionately give rise to these school shootings. | ||
Do you think that's just trendy though? | ||
And what I mean is, do you think that people that have a kind of an outcast personality or an asocial personality, do you think they tend to gravitate towards that kind of trans stuff? | ||
Or do you think that there's somehow like the trans actually is part of what makes them outcasts? | ||
I think that so the reason why I think the trans identity is important and this is actually sort of in line with what Mary's is saying, which is that transness itself, I think, is a separation from God, right? | ||
Because you're rejecting the way that you were born, the way that God made you. | ||
And so it perhaps can portend someone becoming possessed or having satanic thoughts or becoming very nihilistic. | ||
So I don't see those two things necessarily as in conflict with one another. | ||
In fact, I think they're actually really connected. | ||
So the nihilism I get, right? | ||
The feeling like there's no point. | ||
And again, this is something I wonder, you know, which came first, the chicken or the egg? | ||
Is it the nihilism because they don't feel like they have, they're in the right body and they feel like there was a mistake or they feel like they should be a woman or do they feel like there should be a woman and that's part of why they they're nihilists. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
The left tends to reject hopeful things. | ||
Like when you get to the far left, right? | ||
Like they reject things that we consider good. | ||
They reject things like family. | ||
They reject things that tend to give people meaning. | ||
They say, well, there's no meaning. | ||
Even religion. | ||
Like so most people know I'm not particularly religious, but I understand that religion gives people meaning. | ||
It gives people a reason to get up and it also gives them a kind of a north star. | ||
It gives them some kind of objective way to look at the world as opposed to everything being subjective. | ||
If you don't believe in a God, right? | ||
If you don't have religion, a religious foundation, then everything is subjective. | ||
That means that you have no way to actually judge what is good or bad or no way to kind of focus your efforts in your life to make your life better. | ||
And is that why they're nihilistic or are they nihilistic because they don't have a focus? | ||
Am I making myself clear? | ||
I know I hear you. | ||
I mean, one of the interesting things about. | ||
about the response to the shooting from the former White House press secretary Jen Psaki and the Minneapolis mayor Jacob Fry when they were attacking the power of prayer. | ||
It's like, well, first of all, prayer is not a magic bubble that protects you from like anything bad ever happening to you. | ||
That's not the point of it. | ||
I mean, to a certain extent, protection, yes, from evil, but. | ||
Isn't it interesting that as religion has declined and religiosity and spirituality have declined in America that we see mass shootings and school shootings in particular increasing? | ||
Well, this is Elon's point. | ||
I think he made a tweet that woke. | ||
Woke has stepped into the vacuum of the absence of organized religion. | ||
And to your point, I have on screen from the post-millennial attacks on American Christian churches skyrocketed 730% during this exact time period where the T and LGBT really took over. | ||
All right, so let's move on now to our next story. | ||
And this is. | ||
Mexican president Claudia Scheinbaum demands US share of $15 billion in drug profits from convicted cartel boss. | ||
So as the Trump administration is waging this counterinsurgence.cy on Mexican drug cartels and seizing assets. | ||
The Mexican government is demanding a cut of the drug proceeds. | ||
Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum said Wednesday she will press the United States to turn over money seized from convicted Sinaloa cartel leader Ismael El Mayo Zambata. | ||
Scheinbaum has argued it should go to Mexico's poorest citizens. | ||
I'm sure that's exactly where the money will end up. | ||
Call me Ismael. | ||
If the United States government were to recover resources, then we would be asking them for them to be given to Mexico. | ||
That's our drug money. | ||
Keep your hands off of it. | ||
The Mexican president is saying. | ||
And so this is the cartel. | ||
boss is being sought for more than 20 years and was arrested last year, and now they are in the process of seizing assets. | ||
This is also happening, I should note, alongside the recent revelations by author Seth Harp on the relationship between Mexican drug cartels and the U.S. military and U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. | ||
which maybe we can turn to in a little bit. | ||
What are your guys' opinions on should we give Mexico the drug money or is it ours now? | ||
Of course, she's prosecuted in the U.S., right? | ||
Like we caught the guy. | ||
We're the ones actually holding him accountable. | ||
Claudia Scheinbaum, if you talk to pretty much any immigration expert, will tell you is probably captured by the cartel, like at least paid for them, if not actively doing policy that is helping them. | ||
So like where does she get off telling us what to do with the money that we seized from our investigation and our prosecution? | ||
It's none of her damn business. | ||
Well, one of the issues is that Mexico became our largest trading partner currently. | ||
And so while we do have a tremendous amount of leverage with Mexico, they now have a fair amount of leverage on us. | ||
In fact, there's a lot of Texas oil money that depends on shared relationships with Pemex in Mexico. | ||
There's Tesla factories being built in Mexico. | ||
were in a sort of pivot war to stop Chinese influence in Mexico and try to get them to commit more and more to our goods. | ||
And so there's the question of how much of this is a conflict. | ||
We know Mexico is building a new canal currently that China is trying to get rights over parts of. | ||
But what do you guys think about the leverage that we have in the Trump administration's current dealings with Mexico? | ||
I do think that it's in our national security interest to do whatever we can to stymy Mexican, sorry, Chinese influence in Mexico. | ||
I do think that the Monroe doctrine has value, right? | ||
I think that the rest of the world should kind of stay out of the the or this hemisphere, you know, the western hemisphere. | ||
China will do anything they can to attack the United States in whatever way they can. | ||
I truly believe that they're an adversary. | ||
So anything that they're doing in conjunction with Mexico, any kind of business dealings, they're not just doing it because they're looking to make some money for Mexico. | ||
They're doing it because they're looking for access or they're looking to be able to access the United States, whether it be through by working with cartels, you know, sending in the uh sending in the the precursors for fentanyl or whether it be sending Chinese, you know, young men up through the Darien gap from South America through the Darien gap and up into the United States as as illegal immigrants. | ||
China's looking to do everything that it can to have as much access and influence over the United States as possible. | ||
And I think the United States has to do everything that it can to prevent that and stymy China's efforts, which up to and including making sure that Chinese students can't come to the United States. | ||
There was a I saw a tweet today about the 600,000 Chinese students that Donald Trump had made a remark about and the White House just pulled that back. | ||
They said this ain't happening. | ||
Well, kind of. | ||
What was that kind of? | ||
Please go on. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, they said that it was 300,000 over a period of two years, which is basically an extension of current policy while they negotiate with China. | ||
But the number is still too damn high, right? | ||
Like, we should stop all imports of Chinese students until we can figure out what the hell is going on, as Trump would say maybe in his first term. | ||
I mean, not to get too far off the border topic, but Chinese students who are not. | ||
connected to the CCP who study in the United States literally look at class rosters to make sure there are no other students in the class with Chinese names because they're worried about getting spied on and having the things they say reported back to the CCP, which obviously can come down on their families. | ||
So even though they're studying here, they're still within the clutches of the Red Dragon. | ||
That's a point that I was making the other night. | ||
Like having Chinese nationals here in the United States, they are going to report back to China. | ||
There is no Chinese national that's here in the United States that has family in China that China is not going to use their family. | ||
Correct. | ||
You're not going to get them to comply and do something. | ||
That's just not going to happen. | ||
China has no problem throwing your grandma into jail to get you to do some action against the United States. | ||
I had dinner with a Uighur Muslim years ago during Trump's first term, and he was talking about how he was speaking out about the concentration camps and basically got a call from his family telling him that his mother had been disappeared. | ||
And they would leverage that. | ||
Every time that he spoke out, they would tell him, well, you're not, you'll never speak to your mother again. | ||
And if he was quiet for a while, he'd get a phone call or there'd be some news report that she was still alive. | ||
So yeah. | ||
If you have family in China or has wants the ability to travel back and forth, like you are under their thumb, even if you don't like them. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So to think that there's going to be some different policy out of the CCP when it comes to Mexico, I think that's an error and the United States needs to act accordingly. | ||
You know, we have massive influence on Mexico, no matter how much Scheinbaum wants to run her face and say, oh, we're our own independent country, it blah blah blah. | ||
Like the United States is still the United States and has massive leverage power, whether it be soft power or, if necessary, you know, direct military power. | ||
Well, it looks like they there's members of the US military in boats off the coast now. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Preparing potentially for incursions if necessary. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And so whatever we can, again, whatever we can do to stymy. | ||
China's influence in Mexico, I think is good. | ||
And Mexico needs to get on board with what the United States wants because the United States is their biggest trading partner. | ||
The United States is the most powerful country in the world. | ||
The United States has the ability to really influence Mexico and whether it be to their detriment or to their benefit, you know, and being in the good graces of the United States should be something that. | ||
Something that the United States makes clear is in Mexico's best interest. | ||
Right. | ||
And as for the stuff at Fort Bragg and stuff, I haven't I haven't done any kind of digging into that, but I've heard stories about the possibility of, you know, special forces guys. | ||
Right. | ||
Well, this is what's very interesting. | ||
So much of American power in the 20th century grew out of the oil industry, which is really centered in Texas, and Texas and Mexico share a huge amount of oil wealth, and a lot of the oligarchs from both countries went into business together. | ||
You know, famously Carlos Slim and the New York Times, the richest man in Mexico and the like. | ||
But there has the United States facilitated the drug trade in Central and South America throughout the 20th century to fund right wing death squads in El Salvador, to fund the Nicaraguan Contra War, to fund revolutions all over South America. | ||
And so there's been this very long time relationship with Mexican drug cartels, Colombian drug cartels, and the U.S. military and intelligence services. | ||
And another thing that broke today is that HBO just secured rights to develop the Fort Bragg cartel, drug trafficking and murder in the special forces into an HBO series, which I am very excited to see. | ||
This is from Deadline. | ||
It describes as a fiercely sought after deal, HBO has nabbed the rights to develop the non-fiction book, The Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces, by investigative journalist and military veteran Seth Harpe, who recently appeared on Tucker Carlson, Democracy Now! | ||
and laid this out, also as this new book out. | ||
The book details the investigation into a string of unsolved killings in and around the Special Operations Base, revealing a network of narco-trafficking conspiracies that corrupt police abetted and the military covered up. | ||
I'm going to read some findings from that so that folks can understand what's going on here. | ||
The scale of death at Fort Bragg is extraordinary. | ||
In the book, Harp documents 109 Fort Bragg soldier deaths in between 2020 and 2021 with only four in combat. | ||
So 105 out of 109 deaths occurred on the base. | ||
And they were all either murders or suicides. | ||
And he argues that they intersect with a drug-running network tied to elite networks. | ||
compiling letters of soldiers involved in a wider trafficking ring, especially moving opiates from Afghanistan. | ||
The key bridge was a former DEA Task Force agent turned drug trafficker who was the bridge to the Mexican drug cartel, the Los Ayas. | ||
This was famously the same cartel that the Obama administration ran guns to, ran guns to the Sinaloa cartel to fight against during Operation Fast and Furious. | ||
If you remember, there was the gun running, this was what forced Eric Holder, the head of the Justice Department, to step down during the Obama administration. | ||
No scandals besides a tan suit though. | ||
Right, right. | ||
And so essentially he argues that there's this relationship between the Mexican drug cartels and the Special Operations Forces out of Fort Bragg who also Fort Bragg is also home to the Psychological Operations Center and the Information Warfare Center. | ||
And these are the same units that are on the ground in drug zones in Afghanistan, in Syria, in Colombia, in Mexico, in Cambodia, in Laos, in Vietnam, and the Golden Triangle. | ||
So they sit on the drugs. | ||
These drugs are used in order to fund proxy wars. | ||
Famously, the US Institute of Peace, which was raided by the Trump administration when it refused to allow the US government to take over the executive branch there, they bolted the doors. | ||
They kept a weapon stash in the building. | ||
The FBI had to come in and forcibly remove them. | ||
They famously in 2023 told the Taliban to keep the drugs flowing. | ||
They said, congratulations on your new government, Taliban. | ||
There's one thing you can't do, which is get rid of the opium production in the Golden Crescent. | ||
These were the same drugs used by the CIA to fund the Mujahideen in the 1970s when both the CIA and the U.S. military were working with Osama bin Laden and the narco-trafficking squad that funded the Mujahideen and then funded ISIS and Al-Qaeda. | ||
The Biden administration told the Taliban to keep trafficking keep producing those drugs and now tons of revelations are coming out about the military trafficking the drugs that they ordered foreign governments to keep flowing and i think this is part of why you never had a designation of drug traffickers as terrorists before because the u.s government especially the military and intelligence services are in on it it's a key part of our war funding and | ||
i'm very excited to see how these revelations are turned into policy actions by the trump administration you guys have to think about that you think they will be i think it's an incredible opportunity to renegotiate the power balance with the Uniparty blob as well as with foreign countries. | ||
The fact is, is just today, I believe it was, a fist fight actually broke out. | ||
That's right, it was today. | ||
I don't know if you guys, if you can pull a link to that. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
But in the Mexican Senate, a fist fight broke out between Mexican senators about U.S. military involvement to stop drug cartels. | ||
on Mexican soil. | ||
This was something that was never done before. | ||
This was why Operation Fast and Furious. | ||
and just play this here. | ||
unidentified
|
Terrible singers. | |
15 hours with 12 minutes with the intonation of the Mexican national anthem a capela with the National Mexican anthem a capela concludes This session of the Permanent Commission of the Corresponding Committee of the Year on Wednesday, This looks like a UFC weigh-in gone wrong. | ||
There's a better video from Right Angle News Network. | ||
unidentified
|
I tagged you in Tim Minute if you want to put it up on X. Yeah, they have some where the camera doesn't cut away. | |
Yeah, you can pull that. | ||
But, uh, because after the initial blows, another guy tries to step in and then the guy with the beer just like. | ||
pushes him down too. | ||
It's awesome. | ||
And people were asking like, well, which one is funded by the cartels? | ||
Because they were arguing about that and all the replies were like, it's Mexico, both of them. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
It's like the Sinaloans on one side, new generation. | ||
on the other it's like they they all have their squads but that's because it's so it's it is the lifeblood of the economy in central america in many parts of south america talking about the drug trade right the drug trade right it is it If you cut it out, then you end up gutting the GDP of the country. | ||
You end up, you have these populations who would revolt if they were to go hungry and not be able to, because a lot of this is grown by local farmers and the like. | ||
This is one of the reasons that so much USAID money would flood into these zones and actually take over. | ||
over much of the drug trade. | ||
USAID was busted during the Obama administration. | ||
We're going to watch more of this fight. | ||
It's a better view. | ||
But you can talk while the video is going. | ||
You guys don't want to do a bad annotation of the video. | ||
I just don't speak Spanish. | ||
This is the guy who does the WWE style annotations of these fights. | ||
I forget his name. | ||
He still got the tie. | ||
still got the ties on. | ||
No one's That guy gets rocked. | ||
He's going after the cameraman. | ||
Should have been standing there. | ||
I wonder which one is getting paid more by the cartels. | ||
The aggressive guy, the guy that's getting the big checks from the cartels. | ||
But this is what's so funny. | ||
What's so funny about it is you have these intra-cartel wars, like for example during Fast and Furious, which was only a decade ago, and we still don't have answers to because Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States, jumped on the grenade. | ||
That was an FBI ATF operation to run guns to the Sinaloa cartel to fight against the Losetes cartel, who was pilfering billions of dollars of oil. | ||
They were cutting open pipelines that were shared by Exxon and Chevron and Pemex, the big state oil company in Mexico. | ||
And so they were taking billions of dollars from American multinational companies and the only alternative was to send in the troops to stop this cartel. | ||
But the thinking at the time was you can't send American troops into a foreign country without it being a war. | ||
But the US has used special forces like direct action guys like Delta guys to go after El Chapo and after other cartel members before, right? | ||
Well, the issue is with cooperation of the Mexican and Colombian governments. | ||
But I think what you're dealing with here is a was a giant operation. | ||
These are multi-billion dollar operations and they themselves have a huge amount. | ||
Mexican cartels have a huge amount of firepower. | ||
If you guys have ever seen compilation videos of what Mexican cartels are armed with, they're sending Mexican cartels, you can pull this up, they're sending these cartel fighter trainer units, elite squads to go to Ukraine to learn how to operate sophisticated drone technology, and they've got partnerships on the surveillance and weapons front with some of the most elite weapons manufacturers. | ||
Telegram is a great place to see those videos. | ||
Oh, it's incredible. | ||
And so it is something that you've generally needed cooperation with the government to do at a large scale, and that was not something the Obama administration wanted to do. | ||
I believe that's because much of the Obama administration was in on it, just as I it was the Republicans were in on it during the Ronald Reagan era in the 1980s and the and in the 2000s with George Bush. | ||
We literally went into Afghanistan just months after the Taliban in 2001 cut declared an end to opium production to end it end to poppy development. | ||
In the Golden Crescent, they took the heroin export in Afghanistan from 80% of the world's supply to 0%. | ||
We then promptly invaded and under U.S. military occupation it ballooned from 0% of the world's heroin to 90% of the world's heroin while USAID was growing their drug crops. | ||
USAID was busted fertilizing the fields in order to make sure that the drugs could grow just like USAID was pushing for the drugs to continue flowing during the Biden administration. | ||
And I believe one of the answers to this on all things Mexico foreign policy, on all things narco-trafficking, and related to this Fort Bragg story, is we need the USAID files on the drug trafficking side of things. | ||
The USAID is in this drug business and currently we have more transparency from the CIA and the NSA and the FBI than we do from USAID. | ||
It closed down, but we have 60 years of history that we can't get access to because they're not publishing any of the files from the agency that shut down. | ||
What are your guys' thoughts on a pressure campaign on this White House to do what Tulsi is doing with the CIA to make sure the State Department now does? | ||
Now does that with USAID files. | ||
Yeah, and I also want to know specifically what programs have been reconstituted under the State Department, because I don't think they've been clear with specifics about what is actually remaining and moving under Secretary Rubio. | ||
Yeah, I mean, look, any, I don't know exactly what levers, you know, need to be pulled to get the administration to start releasing information about USAID and the policies and activities and what they've been doing in the past. | ||
But I do think that it's pretty obvious that that's something that the American people would want, right? | ||
Like they like the fact that the these kind of blob, to use Mike's term, these blob organizations have been significantly dismantled and it was, it's very popular with the American people. | ||
And I think that the next step should be to make this, make their activities something that the American people are aware of. | ||
Maybe it would take congressional hearings, I don't know. | ||
Maybe it would take something, maybe Marco Rubio and State has to do something. | ||
I'm not the guy to ask, but I think that whatever information can be put out there is something that the American people would want, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So just a little bit more on this, then we'll move on to the next thing. | ||
We went through this scandal in the 1980s and 1990s, famously with Gary Webb, The journalist who published Dark Alliance about the role of the CIA in drug trafficking. | ||
And there was a John Kerry, Senator John Kerry investigation of the CIA's role in the drug trade. | ||
And the CIA director, John Deutsch, had to travel to Compton in Los Angeles to apologize to the black community for the CIA's role in that. | ||
And I'll just read one last thing and then move on to the next thing here, which is this is from the Associated Press. | ||
USAID is going away. | ||
Here's what it's been doing in South America. | ||
And the Associated Press wrote this story arguing that the dismantling of USAID will deliver a major blow to drug trafficking. | ||
drug control policies in South America. | ||
But when they actually interviewed people, it turned out that none of the folks in Mexico, Colombia or other, or Peru, actually had a problem with USAID shutting down. | ||
What they told the Associated Press was actually USAID's takeover of these drug zones in the name of stopping drugs led to a giant drug spike. | ||
They were actually not stopping the drugs. | ||
It looked like they were proliferating it. | ||
If you see here, for example, they spoke to so Peru and Colombia are the two biggest drug zone production places in South America. | ||
And in a statement, they, you see, they said they declined to comment on the US administration's freeze, but the former chief of the drug control agency in Peru said that USAID's pause is an opportunity to review a partnership that has not been effective. | ||
It has always been conditional assistance with politics involved. | ||
It has been minimal, often delayed and not integrated. | ||
So a parallel structure with the Peruvian state. | ||
And then he said that neighboring Bolivia, which expelled USAID in 2013, has achieved better results in controlling cocaine production since then. | ||
So actually getting rid of USAID, this is what the former chief of the drug control agency, they formally don't offer an opinion, but they say, if you actually look at what Bolivia did, they did better under it. | ||
And so I think that all these files around the drug trade in USAID would be incredibly explosive and an opportunity to go after corruption on total. | ||
But let's move on to our next story here. | ||
We're now going to turn to the question of George Soros. | ||
So this is from the Hill. | ||
Trump, Soros' son, should be charged under racketeering law. | ||
There you go. | ||
And I'll just go directly to the source. | ||
This is the truth heard round the world yesterday. | ||
unidentified
|
We have the, yeah, right here. | |
At real Donald Trump, George Soros and his wonderful radical left son should be charged with Rico because of their support of violent protests and much more all throughout the United States of America. | ||
We're not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America anymore, never giving it so much as a chance to breathe and be free. | ||
Soros and his group of psychopaths have caused great damage to our country. | ||
That includes his crazy West Coast friends. | ||
Be careful, we're watching you. | ||
Thank you for your attention to this matter. | ||
I love the subject. | ||
I got a lot of thoughts on this, but let me pass around the table. | ||
I love it. | ||
I think it's brilliant. | ||
Look, they've been funding, if not directly, at least indirectly, all of the groups that pay people to attend these protests that inevitably turn into riots. | ||
And he also funds all of the pr prosecutors who let the people out of jail. | ||
So it really is literally a racket. | ||
Yes. | ||
The fact that George Soros, the phrase a Soros prosecutor or Soros DA is something that's so well known throughout the United States is a massive problem. | ||
George Soros has been doing all that he can to fund far left leaning DAs and prosecutors that release criminals back into society. | ||
You can have all the law enforcement you want in a city. | ||
You can have umpteen million dollars whatever when it comes to law enforcement. | ||
If you don't prosecute and put these criminals away, it doesn't matter. | ||
And like we've seen in DC, the amount of people that you actually have to take off the street to radically change the crime statistics. | ||
It's not a lot. | ||
The police know the people that are committing these crimes. | ||
They can usually call them out by name. | ||
They, especially when you're talking about beat cops, they know who's out there committing the crimes. | ||
All you have to do is pick these guys up and put them in jail for an extended period of time and the murder rates go down. | ||
The crime rates go down. | ||
And that's something that the populations of these cities want desperately. | ||
And it's people like George Soros and left wing. | ||
Even left-wing financiers or whatever, they're the ones that make these cities unsafe because they're the ones that make sure that DAs that won't prosecute crime are elected. | ||
They're the ones that dump tons of money into these people's campaigns. | ||
This is a problem that is fixable if we were to go after the people that are dumping money into these campaigns. | ||
It was just a couple of years ago, I think in 2023, that the DC police chief at the time, Robert Conti, said that the average homicide suspect had eleven prior in DC. | ||
So you're absolutely right. | ||
It's the same people committing crime over and over again. | ||
And DC obviously has a specific problem with youth offenders, which is almost directly because of the DC City Council passing criminal justice reform for the worst of the worst and downgrading charges and letting them back out on the streets. | ||
But yeah, it's the same groups of people over and over again. | ||
Right. | ||
Now specifically, I mean, there's so many elements of corruption in the Soros Inc. | ||
story. | ||
One of the things that the Rico charge is obviously this kind of organized crime network. | ||
It's a very powerful weapon. | ||
It's a very big heavy artillery weapon to use. | ||
And part of the issue is that the way the Soros machine works is that it's it's done through these philanthropic 501c3 fronts and it's heavily loyered up in order to basically use loopholes in the tax system to use loopholes in the political influence machinery. | ||
But the Soros world really trades on national security secrets. | ||
I believe the best way to understand the Open Society Institute, the Open Society Foundations, is to look at it how we look at Harvard. | ||
Many people say that Harvard is a hedge fund with a university attached because it's a $56 billion endowment. | ||
And then you have the university, which is just a pittance compared to that in terms of what it actually requires in maintenance. | ||
It gets $9 billion in federal grants. | ||
Much of that has been cut by the Trump administration. | ||
But then Harvard, their institutes and their centers, they go out and they take the actions that actually help the investments of the hedge fund, the Harvard Endowment, the Harvard Management Company. | ||
And so we saw this in the 1990s when Harvard was tasked by USAID, given actually hundreds of millions of dollars in USAID money to reorganize the economy of Russia while the Harvard Endowment was investing in the these Russian oil industries and steel industries. | ||
And so they were setting the policy inside Russia while profiting off of it. | ||
But these, and I do think that there needs to be an interrogation of the role of insider trading on national security secrets. | ||
Right now, there's a lot of attention on the Nancy Pelosi stock trader side of things where you will invest members of Congress will have insider knowledge about a bill that will affect a business and they will invest in the stock market to bet on the rise and fall of companies well before the market does. | ||
Well, the way Soros and many of these other big kind of oligarch sort of hedge funds slash philanthropy people work is they work with the State Department, USAID, NATO. | ||
Their institutions serve as fronts for them, and then the hedge fund bets on those operations that they're facilitating. | ||
So the Open Society Institute will operate with the State Department in Mongolia to make sure that we get the rights to a copper or gold mine. | ||
But then the Soros hedge fund will invest in the company that they are working with the CIA and the State Department, the USAID, to get to get the rights to. | ||
They'll do the same thing in Eastern Europe. | ||
They'll do the same thing in South America. | ||
And I believe that there needs to be a full review of the Open Society Foundation security clearance possession. | ||
Just this week, Tulsi Gabbard, I believe this is actually just yesterday. | ||
This is from the Wall Street Journal. | ||
Tulsi Gabbard blindsided CIA over revoking clearance of undercover officer. | ||
And this relates to, I think something like 37 people had their security clearances cut along. | ||
This, you know, the Wall Street Journal says this blind side of the CIA. | ||
Tulsi obviously is the head of the intelligence community. | ||
But how many people at the Open Society Institute have security clearances? | ||
Why has that not been reviewed? | ||
What was just broke two weeks ago was actually this incredible revelation from 2016 at the very start of Russia Gate in July 2016. | ||
Tulsi and the FBI declassified an annex that has been classified for years relating to intelligence from the very origins of Russia Gate. | ||
And it started off essentially with a plot between Hillary Clinton and George Soros. | ||
And I'll read here from the actual annex itself, which was released by Chuck Grassley. | ||
And this related to the George Soros Eurasia Center, the nonprofits Open Society Foundation, and Leonard Bernardo, who was the regional director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundation, as well as Jeff Goldstein there. | ||
And what they publish is this incredible section here. | ||
Folks can see it. | ||
I'm not sure if we can control F in here. | ||
But there was a section that said if that Hillary Clinton had just approved a plan from her foreign policy advisor to set Trump up to make it look like he was backed by the Russians, that the FBI would come and pour oil on it later, that crowd strike would do the media, that we'd come up with some reason like our critical infrastructure is under attack. | ||
And this was an email. | ||
purportedly from Leonard Bernardo, the head of the Open Society Institute Foundation for Eurasia. | ||
So somehow George Soros' Open Society Institute knew that Hillary Clinton had approved this false flag plan to set up Trump, knew that the FBI was in on it, knew that CrowdStrike was in on it to fake digital forensics and argue that Russia had hacked the DNC server. | ||
And so how did the Soros Institute know these deep details about the Hillary Clinton campaign to do this plot? | ||
Well, we know that they were meeting with the State Department. | ||
at when Hillary Clinton was the, I'm going to pull this up on screen here, when she was the Secretary of State. | ||
This was, I'll put who was in the room. | ||
So we know that Hillary Clinton met with George Soros personally at the State Department, and they brought along with them the very people who turned up in the classified annex. | ||
Jeff Goldstein, the head of the senior policy advisor for Eurasia. | ||
who was named in the FBI in the classified annex here. | ||
Does Jeffrey L. Epstein have a security clearance? | ||
Does Leonard Bernardo? | ||
How many other people? | ||
And I believe we need a full accounting, the same way we published the JFK files., the MLK files, the Russia Gate files. | ||
We need all USAID files, all CIA analyst memos that mention the Open Society Institute. | ||
Let's put on display for the world the full extent of US government involvement in this. | ||
And I have one more thing to say about that, but what are you guys' thoughts when I laid it out? | ||
Well, this is pretty much all of the former NATSEC officials or IC officials who are on the left wing, which is that they trade in secrets, whether it's leaking things to mainstream media or after they leave. | ||
service, I use that term very loosely, After they leave the government, getting these massive media contracts where they're basically paid to go on and speak with an air of authority about things of which they're not privy to any more, like the 51 officials who signed the letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. | ||
Like they didn't have any special secret knowledge about that, but they were using the guys of we have security clearances and we worked in the intelligence community in order to try to provide veracity to that claim. | ||
Clapper, Brennan, all of these people had developed these relationships with the media so that they could secure these six figure contributor contracts by, well, what do we think they were doing while they were in government? | ||
They were giving them access to information that they otherwise wouldn't have had access to. | ||
And actually, this is pretty much exactly what John Bolton is accused of doing, right? | ||
Of keeping classified documents or emailing them to himself so he could use them for a book deal so that he could write a memoir about his time in the Trump administration. | ||
And he, John Bolton, interestingly, was the head of policy and budget for USAID under Ronald Reagan in the 1990s, right when George Soros started the Open Society Foundation and partnered with USAID during the Cold War. | ||
So this was this left-hand right-hand alliance that George Soros prohibited for 40 or 50 years at least. | ||
Right. | ||
And Mike, you were talking earlier about how USAID is often actually inflating the problem that they're supposedly trying to solve and how there's going to be so much revisionist history about what they were actually doing if the files are not released. | ||
And I mean just to provide another example of that, during the AIDS epidemic in the 80s and 90s, the revisionist history is that the US government and Ronald Reagan specifically were homophobic and that's why the epidemic was able to get out of control. | ||
Precisely the opposite. | ||
If you read Marty McCarey's book that he released, I think it was two summers ago, I apologize, I can't recall the name, but you can Google it. | ||
He talks about how they were stopped from prohibiting gay men at that time from donating blood because it would be viewed as homophobic. | ||
And what happened was a whole bunch of people who required regular blood transplants for various diseases or for whatever reason that they were getting infected blood because they had no prohibition on gay people donating blood. | ||
In fact, they couldn't even ask them about their sexual activity. | ||
So you had a bunch of gay men, specifically in Los Angeles, who had been very promiscuous or were prostitutes themselves going in to donate blood for drug money or for rent money or whatever it was. | ||
And the government basically were like, well, we can't tell them to stop because we would get accused of homophobia. | ||
So actually by doing the opposite of what they accused them of not being homophobic, they made the problem so much worse. | ||
The accusation of bigotry has been incredibly detrimental to our society because it's been used against people so many times when they bring up legitimate concerns. | ||
I'm just this particular one, you know, as an example, but the accusation of, oh, you're just mean. | ||
You just have a hateful opinion has done significant damage to the United States. | ||
Well, it's fascinating you bring up that example because USAID has a crazy history with using AIDS as a way to have AIDS programs be a front for covert CIA operations. | ||
Exactly. | ||
I have on the screen here, USAID program, this is under the Obama administration, USAID program used young Latin Americans to incite Cuba rebellion, saying that an HIV workshop would be the perfect excuse for political goals in Cuba. | ||
And what you see is beginning in 2009, a project overseen by USAID sent Venezuelan, Costa Rican, and Peruvian young people in Cuba in hopes of ginning up rebellion. | ||
The travelers worked undercover. | ||
scouting for people they could turn into political activists. | ||
In one case, the workers formed an HIV prevention workshop that USAID memos called the perfect excuse for the program's political goals, basically arguing that Cuban counterintelligence would never think to look at a USAID AIDS program as the locus point for doing CIA covert actions. | ||
Do you think that's what PEPFAR was? | ||
Yes, 100%. | ||
And I think this is why the military is the main blocking point for cutting PEPFAR funds. | ||
This was a major, PEPFAR was a major way, in fact, almost all of AIDS. | ||
If you look at AIDS in Africa, the test that they actually used for it was a, it was named after a place in Congo, I believe, the name of the test. | ||
But it was, did you have, did you experience significant weight loss in the past 30 days? | ||
Did you have diarrhea? | ||
Do you have a prolonged headache? | ||
These are the sorts of things that happen every day in Africa. | ||
While the population rate was skyrocketing, there was no sort of diagnostic. | ||
The definition of AIDS kept changing. | ||
But what happened was, is U.S. aid and military money flowed in and U.S. influence over African governments became a vice grip. | ||
And the same way that Big Pharma functions as a lobby in the United States, it functions as a lobby on African governments. | ||
And also, most of the money for AIDS relief goes to the military warlords and it's used for guns. | ||
I documented when Bono came out and was on the Joe Rogan episode arguing that USAID cuts had killed three hundred thousand people so far, I pointed to the fact that when Bono did the live aid and band-aid fundraisers during the AIDS pandemic, they raised a hundred million dollars. | ||
And the BBC reported that ninety five million dollars went to CIA backed warlords in Somalia, not to AIDS relief. | ||
But when you control the relief, you control the logistics. | ||
You're riding around in medical vans. | ||
You don't get stopped. | ||
You have diplomatic immunity. | ||
You can transport weapons and drugs and diamonds and guns in through the through the logistics chain that you control. | ||
And so the aid really functions as the front line of the operation. | ||
It's might as well go directly to special forces. | ||
And so I think that's what's happening here. | ||
But I do want to get to one other aspect of this because what we've talked about so far has been reviewing the security clearances. | ||
cut uh mapping out the uh other aspects of the corruption but Trump specifically pointed to Rico because of support for violent protests and this is something as a free speech activist and maximalist I'm very wary of what the counter argument will be which is that protest activity is protected. | ||
And even if protests are large or sometimes get unruly, you should be careful about not going after the right of freedom of speech and the right to protest. | ||
But to that, I would like to point the Trump administration to where I believe the Rico case is strongest. | ||
And this is when it comes to not just being in the streets and making noise and banging pots and pans, but when it comes to organized criminal activity. | ||
And I'm going to play from the Soros partnered U.S. Institute of Peace that we referenced here. | ||
I'm going to play part of a video here from their own video archive where what they propose is is actually This is what they call non-violent action and this is what the Soros groups do under the guise of a kind of gene sharp color revolution style Non-violent action is what they call it this this protest activity now this is from the U.S. government This is on the U.S. government's video archive. | ||
I'm going to play just this section and then I'll get you guys' thoughts on this. | ||
unidentified
|
Third category of non-violent tactics is non-violent intervention. | |
These include such actions as sitting in, blocking roads, overloading facilities, establishing parallel or alternative institutions, occupying buildings and acts of civil disobedience, and even deliberately seeking imprisonment. | ||
So this is the U.S. government guide that I have pulled up now. | ||
Again, this was produced by our taxpayers. | ||
The US Institute of Peace gets $55 million a year from taxpayers and has a mandatory board spot for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State. | ||
These mandatory board spots to have the head of the State Department and the War Department and created by an act of Congress funded by the US government, our taxpayer dollars. | ||
I have their advanced course on civil resistance. | ||
Now, all of the folks involved in this course have been involved in the violent riots of the past decade, from backing the BLM, Summer of Love riots, to the ICE riots, and even in their own written guide, they propose that groups blockade, blockade roads, blockade shipments, blockade the city. | ||
They have an entire training seminar here where they get people to strategize about how to block city intersections and like. | ||
I believe when it comes to RICO, it's one thing, there's no problem with establishing parallel or alternative institutions or being in the streets being an annoying person. | ||
But blocking roads is a violation of the law. | ||
And when that is organized and premeditated, that becomes RICO. | ||
Occupying federal government buildings. | ||
These are the same people who called for 1,000 years in prison for anyone who occupied the Capitol building. | ||
And yet they will propose to occupy police buildings or government buildings during the Brett Kavanaugh case. | ||
These acts of civil disobedience, all this stuff, that means. | ||
legal disobedience breaking the law and so i think when we need a full accounting of the if if a subpoena were to be fired off at the open society institute and churla in la with the ice riots to get their internal documents under court order to see how much of that was premeditated. | ||
No problem. | ||
If you want to protest the ICE raids, no problem with that. | ||
But the moment you block the I-10 and cut off emergency services and the ability to get mail delivered to people's homes. | ||
The moment you do that, that becomes RICO. | ||
And this is not an accident. | ||
What I've just showed on screen are formal U.S. government guides from the very institutions partnered with the Source Open Society Institute on instructions to do it and training scenarios for how to do it. | ||
So we know these groups did it. | ||
There's just never been a court-ordered subpoena to actually force them to turn over these documents or to bring the case. | ||
And I believe this is where the magic is when you get to this sort of organizational planning. | ||
What do you guys think of that? | ||
I mean, anything that you can do to push back on this kind of behavior, the government shouldn't be instructing people on how to basically to protest or inhibit, you know, what other citizens are doing to live their lives, right? | ||
Like if you're talking about blocking highways and stuff like that, people have to live their lives. | ||
And in the United States, you're free to say, I don't want anything to do with your protest. | ||
And the fact that the government is helping to instruct protesters, probably paying money, but helping to instruct protesters in how to do non-violent protests, which will harm their fellow citizens, right? | ||
Like whether it be making people late and possibly losing the job or you got someone trying to go to the hospital and they're preventing people from getting through, whatever it may be, people have the right to decide to not be involved in your BS. | ||
And the fact that the government is funding this kind of stuff, telling people how to frustrate your fellow citizens' lives is absolutely abhorrent. | ||
It should be stripped from the government and any kind of criminal charges that can be brought up, I think they should do it. | ||
I just don't view blocking the free movement of people as nonviolent, right? | ||
Like that alone is a fallacy. | ||
Well, what's amazing is, so this instructor here, Maria Stefan, who founded the US Institute or directed the, she was the head of the program on nonviolent action at the US Institute of Peace, she's on record saying that they've cleverly redefined, defined the term non-action to specifically exclude property damage from the definition. | ||
Yeah, insane. | ||
So she's asked her opinion about the book How to Blow Up a Pipeline and whether or not it's okay to blow up pipelines. | ||
And she argues that technically it's okay because under our definition of nonviolent action, property damage is not included. | ||
It's convenient. | ||
Yes, right. | ||
So these are the same people. | ||
But that sort of thing is RICO. | ||
And one RICO case on this network would make two hundred other actors in the network never want to do this sort of thing again. | ||
And so I completely support the Trump administration's pursuit of it. | ||
And I think this is the answer. | ||
You get to these deliberate law breaking sides of it. | ||
You go after the organizers, the main institutional cells. | ||
You force them under oath to testify and turn over documents and discovery. | ||
And I think that would break the whole thing open. | ||
But let's move on to what's happening in the international free speech world. | ||
So right now, the EU-U.S. | ||
trade deal is stalled over digital censorship disputes. | ||
This is from Reclaim the Net. | ||
Efforts to finalize a trade agreement between the European Union and the United States have run into roadblocks with unresolved disputes over digital policy and market access holding up the release of a long anticipated joint statement. | ||
Talks have dragged on as Washington pushes back against what it labels as non-tariff barriers which includes EU's censorship law the Digital Services Act now if folks remember during the 2024 election cycle the head of the EU Digital Commission threatened Elon Musk for talking to Donald Trump on X during their first public X space. | ||
He sent a threat letter saying if you guys talk about what's happening in the UK right now with the Tommy Robinson street protests that were popping off, then you will be fined by the EU for non-democratic discourse that impacts hearts and minds in the EU. | ||
Now the irony of that was the UK is no longer even in the EU. | ||
So the EU is telling one non-EU citizen, Elon Musk, not to talk to another non-EU citizen, Donald Trump, about a non-EU country, the United Kingdom, and threatening to fine them. | ||
So what both the EU and the UK are doing right now is attempting to seize long-arm jurisdiction over American speech. | ||
And they're working with Democrats in the U.S. and never Trump Republicans in the U.S. in order to try to take out both of their mutual opposition by using the power of the in-power government. | ||
government in bodies in the EU and the UK. | ||
And related to this, we have just out today the very guy who threatened Elon Musk for talking to Donald Trump during the 2024 election cycle. | ||
Thierry Breton wrote in The Guardian, the EU surrendered to Trump over trade tariffs. | ||
Now it's in danger of capitulating again. | ||
A fresh U.S. assault is aimed at Europe's right to regulate tech. | ||
It's an outrage. | ||
I mean, we must resist it. | ||
And so what he writes here is that essentially, he's calling on the EU to not bend to Donald Trump or JD Vance and to keep the censorship power that they crafted into law in 2022 with this censorship law in force. | ||
And he's cautioning them against basically allowing free speech on the internet because American free speech impacts hearts and minds in Europe. | ||
And Europe will undergo a dramatic surge in right-wing populist political parties who undermine democratic discourse. | ||
And so you see this attempt to kind of prop up Europe's censorship apparatus from within their institutions there. | ||
And while that is happening, the UK., not to be outdone, passed its own version of the EU Digital Censorship Act. | ||
This is called the UK Online Harms Bill. | ||
And they are now charging $4chan and Kiwifarms $20,000 a day for failing to adhere to the UK's censorship standards under this law. | ||
And so now I'm going to read here from an attorney in the case. | ||
4chan is fighting back. | ||
On behalf of our clients, 4chan and Kiwifarms, the law firms of Burn and Storm and the Coleman Law Firm have today filed a federal law lawsuit against the UK Office of Communications, Ofcom, in DC Federal Court. | ||
American citizens do not surrender our constitutional rights just because Ofcom sends us an email. | ||
In the face of these unlawful foreign demands, our clients have bravely chosen to assert their constitutional rights. | ||
And I'm going to read a little bit before we get back to the discussion. | ||
I'm going to read a little bit of the complaint. | ||
This is kind of a legendary page one, 4chan versus the world here. | ||
Plaintiffs 4chan. | ||
and Local LLC in their complaint against Ofcom. | ||
Introduction. | ||
The Internet is a global system of communication between computer servers located in data centers around the world. | ||
Despite the Internet's global reach, it is more or less universally acknowledged that the Internet is predominantly an American innovation built by American citizens, residents, and companies, and the United States is the largest and most thriving technology sector of any G7 member state. | ||
Foreign governments, particularly those in Europe, which have not managed to build technology sectors of their own, have sought to control the American Internet, hobble American competitiveness through a range of legislative and other initiatives, and they're now threatening us, essentially, he argues, with arrest and imprisonment. | ||
I see this as being one of the most fundamental issues of our time. | ||
While we have done an incredible job of gutting the censorship industrial complex in the federal government by shutting down the DHS censorship operation, the State Department censorship operation, the USAID one, the National Science Foundation one, now the threats are really an international one, working with the censors in exile in the U.S. with in power governments abroad who do have that power. | ||
And so it now falls to the Trump White House and State Department to protect American speech, not from the threat from within that we've had so much for the past six years, but the threat from without that are working with our forces within. | ||
I, for one, completely commend the Trump White House and State Department. | ||
It would have been very easy for them to have ignored this issue and signed a lucrative trade deal that Wall Street and donors would have loved. | ||
I have to imagine that most donors to the Republican Party care more about getting a favorable trade deal than they do about four Chan's right to free speech. | ||
But this, to me, is really responsive to the base and they're really putting it on the table and putting on the line to fight for our reach, our right to talk smack. | ||
What do you guys think? | ||
Well, I'm sure the big tech companies wouldn't be thrilled about a trade deal that didn't include these stipulations because. | ||
because the UK has fined big tech companies in the US over 30 billion dollars for failing to comply with their speech laws. | ||
They threatened to jail not just Elon Musk, but also Mark Zuckerberg. | ||
He said recently that he was told he could be jailed if he didn't use Meta to silence speech, and then the EU tried to get Google to add fact checks to its search results and next to YouTube videos that popped up on Google search, which they rejected. | ||
But of course, they'll be fined and threatened with jail as well. | ||
So all of these major American innovative companies and like, I'm not a big tech fan by any means, right? | ||
I mean, they steal Americans' privacy. | ||
They do censorship on their own terms all the time. | ||
But the idea, it's it's sort of like, you know, you're allowed to make fun of your sibling, but when other people make fun of your sibling, it really pisses you off. | ||
That's how I feel about big tech. | ||
It's like, yeah, I want to go after big tech, but like the EU and the UK don't get to do it for me. | ||
No, especially because of the way that they'll go after him, right? | ||
Like, I want to see their policies change and I want to see them more in line with less censorship. | ||
They want to do more censorship. | ||
Exactly. | ||
And these, these European countries are looking to actually fine them and possibly do whatever they can to harm their business model just because they won't censor their own citizens, which is completely antithetical to what we in the West consider normal standards for a government. | ||
It's generally agreed upon in the West that we all believe in the freedom of speech. | ||
Now granted, the United States has the strongest protections because we have it in our constitution. | ||
But if you ask, especially 10, 15 years ago, if you ask anybody from France, anyone from the UK, anyone from Germany, they'd say, no, we have the freedom to say whatever we want. | ||
We can share opinions that are controversial. | ||
We can do that. | ||
They would say that. | ||
And the UK put something like 3,000 people in jail last year over Facebook posts. | ||
It's ridiculous to say that they're even That they that they have a concern for their populations to be able to express controversial ideas to say that that's something that they actually care about. | ||
Now that's laughable. | ||
That's an absolutely ridiculous statement. | ||
So yeah, I mean, that they'll literally throw you in prison for criticizing immigration policy. | ||
Absolutely, yeah. | ||
It's insanity. | ||
Completely insane. | ||
And to be honest with you, that is not a controversial thing to be honest with you. | ||
The idea of I don't want to have more immigrants in my country. | ||
I don't want rape gangs. | ||
Like, I mean, God forbid. | ||
Well, so I mean, like, fair enough. | ||
That's exactly what they're saying. | ||
But just to say something as simple as, no, I think our immigration policy is bad and we should have significantly fewer immigrants into our country. | ||
That is a boring boilerplate policy preference that should not be controversial in any way, but you can still get picked up by the UK or by the police. | ||
All of these illiberal losers, by the way, in the US who think Trump's a fascist, like if you can't criticize your own government, they love Europe. | ||
These people love Europe. | ||
If you can't criticize your own government, like you're not a free people person. | ||
No, not at all. | ||
You're living under tyranny. | ||
No, that's exactly right. | ||
And I'm delighted to see that there is now. | ||
This is an easy way to do, but it's an easy thing not to do. | ||
And it also gives an opportunity for the Trump base to grow up and understand the international picture. | ||
I think what drew most people who support Donald Trump for president or are sort of populist in the modern age was not necessarily because of foreign policy or international relations, but rather because they cared about their own country. | ||
They wanted to make their own country great again. | ||
They cared about their own schools, their own cities, and crime rates. | ||
And so there has always been this kind of knock on the MAGA movement or the supporters of Donald Trump that they're isolationist or they're little they don't understand the big wider world they don't understand trade and international relations and this issue with Europe right now has forced us to in order to so that I think we've a clear lens on our own place in the world. | ||
I want to play a clip here to drive home the importance of this issue to the audience. | ||
This is This post is titled Censorship Industry Insiders Plot to Leverage EU Censorship Laws to force X to re-staff fired censorship workers. | ||
This is in 2023 after Elon cleared out the trust and safety team. | ||
Featured here are the head of toxic conversation research for Twitter 1.0, a fellow at the Atlantic Council, which has seven CIA directors on its board and is funded by the State Department, the USAID, and the U.S. military, | ||
four branches of the U.S. military, as well as another member of the National Down for Democracy, which was set up by the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1980s to fund money to groups that the CIA didn't want to look like it was funding. | ||
They admit this as much publicly. | ||
This is one minute and 22 seconds. | ||
And this is from two years ago. | ||
And by the way, every person on this panel is an American. | ||
And here's what they said in the aftermath of Elon Musk's acquisition of X and all of their inside contacts in the censorship industry at X being fired. | ||
I'm going to play this. | ||
If it were not for Europe right now, I think that I would feel pretty defeated and despondent in this moment. | ||
It has certainly become much, much more difficult for outside researchers to do the sorts of right of the options that you list, Samir to actually engage directly with people at the platforms because there are simply fewer of them, right? | ||
We spent literally years building up relationships with good folks at all these platforms who were trying to do the right thing. | ||
And for the most part, they're gone. | ||
It's really, really difficult to know who to reach out to, who to work with. | ||
If it weren't for the European Union and the Digital Services Act, I don't know that we'd have much hope of rectifying that situation at all. | ||
But given the sort of requirements that for performing risk assessments, for sharing more transparent information with the public, and crucially, for sharing data with researchers, I do think that we still have some options for leverage to continue the work that we've been doing. | ||
And hopefully, ultimately, that leads to a sort of restaffing of some of these positions, increased focus again as the DSA begins to come into force and the platforms feel the real pressure of actual enforcement action. | ||
So these are American censors with multi-six figure censorship jobs from 2017 to 2022. | ||
Saying that they would feel desperate and despondent if not for a foreign government, a foreign regulatory bodies censorship law which will put real pressure on the tech companies to restaff them get them their old power and money back and that once it comes into force it will exert that leverage on them and it will force them now she says risk assessments that's for quote disinformation risk because now every American tech company has to | ||
submit a report to the EU about their own assessment of the risk of allowing different kinds of speech allowing what disinformation the risks there are to allowing people to challenge COVID vaccine mandates or support for different anti-democratic candidates in the EU and the like. | ||
And so these are the same people who are explicitly plotting with the EU. | ||
Folks recall Nina Jankovitz, who was the head of our disinformation governance board, earlier this year she testified to the EU that they need to stand up to another foreign, another authoritarian country besides Russia, and it's the United States of America. | ||
And what was she doing? | ||
She was testifying to the EU about the need to keep this censorship law in place and maximize it. | ||
She also did that. | ||
She registered as a British foreign agent. | ||
She had a FARA registration for her work after the Disinformation Governance Board at a USAID funded censorship shop called the Center for Information Resilience. | ||
So what you have, again, are these censors in exile who see that they've lost power over our own federal government. | ||
But the only way to get the tech companies to censor political speech at the scale that they need in order to win is to have a government with regulatory power, the ability to find these companies into oblivion, to box them out of markets. | ||
If Facebook lost Europe, if X lost Europe, that would be huge. | ||
There's more people in the EU than there are in the United States. | ||
It's 550 million customers. | ||
They need that. | ||
And so those regulatory have bodies, but Facebook and Google and X can't fight that. | ||
That they can only turn to the they don't have a military to leverage. | ||
They don't have, you know, trillion dollars in trade to leverage. | ||
Only the White House and State Department can do that, can do that negotiating. | ||
And I'm happy to see that this is now becoming front and center because this has been the issue since the start. | ||
And next week, I believe Jim Jordan's House Judiciary Committee is going to be hosting a specific hearing on this. | ||
And I'm delighted to see this action. | ||
Is there anything else that you can say? | ||
What do you guys think that you would like to see the Trump administration like to do on this issue? | ||
Well, I just wanted to give a little bit more context on these individuals who were hired by Twitter in 2017 and 2018. | ||
All of them are academics. | ||
The woman we heard from, Rebecca Tromble, works for a university in the Netherlands. | ||
So she's over there researching, talking to colleagues all day probably about censoring people. | ||
All of the academics had a history of studying right-wing populism, diversity, and Islam. | ||
So it's pretty clear what they were brought in to do. | ||
She said, in the context of growing political polarization, the spread of misinformation and increases in in civility and intolerance, it is clear that if we are going to effectively evaluate and address some of the most difficult challenges arising on social media, academic researchers and tech companies will need to work together much more closely. | ||
So it wasn't even just about disinformation, but about really any political speech that could be categorized as uncivil. | ||
It's worth noting too, and this is probably saying the obvious for a lot of people, but like these people have not gone away. | ||
So when the Democrats come back or if the Democrats get back into power, these people will be ushered back into into the government, all of the Organizations, the bureaucracies that they once inhabited, they will be propped back up, they will be reinstated, and they will go after conservatives. | ||
They will come after conservatives that have been speaking out against them, they will align with Europe, and they will try to go after businesses in the United States, they will go after people that do podcasts, people that are influencers, they will go after everyone they can. | ||
And if you think they won't, if for a second you're like, no, they won't, that stuff's gone, remember what they did to parents that went to complain about what their children were learning in school. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Right. | ||
Like if it wasn't for COVID, parents wouldn't have seen what children were learning in schools because the remote classrooms that were going on, parents saw that. | ||
And that was kind of the first step where parents were like, holy crap, wait a second, what are my kids learning? | ||
Right. | ||
And the government interceded on behalf of the schools because the government believes that your kids are actually the government's kids. | ||
So all this stuff is going to be brought back full force when Democrats get back to power. | ||
So don't think that it is. | ||
Let's make sure it's not like, not if or like when, let's make sure we never let that happen. | ||
But I think it's a huge part of what people have been saying. | ||
If the right doesn't use these tools now, well, we'll. | ||
If we use these tools now, we'll never get the chance to use them again. | ||
We'll never be able to do this because they will get into power and then they will do it. | ||
They have no fear of doing it. | ||
They never had any fear of separating families, actually, not at the border, like they claim that we've done so many times. | ||
Grandma died alone and you had to look at her through a glass. | ||
You had to stand outside the room and watch your grandmother or your mother or your father die alone. | ||
They will do it. | ||
Do not think they won't. | ||
You have to use these things now. | ||
You have to do it now. | ||
Right. | ||
And to Amber's point, I caution people to X-ray through the academic label. | ||
Because you can't spell academia without CIA. | ||
Yeah, it's a red flag. | ||
Academia is the shadow diplomacy realm. | ||
There is this revolving door. | ||
What is Hillary Clinton doing now? | ||
She's at Columbia University. | ||
What is Mike Pompeo, the CIA director, doing? | ||
She's right next to Hillary Clinton at that same SIPA school at Columbia University. | ||
What is Victoria Nuland doing right now? | ||
She's at Columbia University with Hillary Clinton and Mike Pompeo at the same SIPA school for international affairs. | ||
What did Mike Pompeo do during the latest attempt to have a peace deal negotiated before the Alaska trip with with between Ukraine and Russia. | ||
Mike Pompeo from Colombia went straight over to Ukraine and advised them to take offensive action if they effectively if they wanted to scuttle the deal or get more favorable terms. | ||
And so they use academia as the front. | ||
This was the same thing done through the Stanford Air Net Observatory to censor the 2020 election. | ||
And who was running that department? | ||
It was Michael McFall, who was the U.S. Ambassador to Russia, the guy who's coordinating the statecraft and intelligence, who was the head of the technical affairs there. | ||
It was Renee DeResta who started her career in the CIA. | ||
Who was the actual head of the place itself? | ||
It was Alex Demos who was doing the RussiaGate crap at Facebook and working essentially to try to maximize censorship at that time. | ||
And I'm going to actually pull a quote here because you mentioned something else, which was that another thing that gets leveraged is pressure on companies. | ||
And this we saw happen during the Elon Musk fight with the Brazilian government when they shut down X. Not only did in 2024, I believe in April, the Brazilian government force X to close for a time. | ||
But they also seized assets from Starlink, a completely unrelated issue just because it was connected to Elon Musk. | ||
And so this is the head of, again, you can call it an academic institution, but this is essentially a cutout front for a statecraft and intelligence linked network to try to achieve foreign policy goals by destroying political candidates who get in the way of those foreign policy goals. | ||
And so this is the head of the Stanford Air and Observatory here. | ||
I'm going to, this is the clip where he, right after Elon bought X, he said. | ||
He said taunted Elon Musk that he bought himself into a hellish existence the week Musk acquired Twitter. | ||
And then he goes on 14 times to name Tesla and notes it as a vulnerability that governments could exploit to force Musk to censor speech. | ||
And I'm just going to play this one where he says this is the head of the Stanford Air Net Observatory, which worked in a consortium with the very Atlanta Council that two of these folks in this clip, both Katie Harbath and Dean, this whole crew is affiliated with the same NED Atlanta Council Network. | ||
And so he goes on to, I'm just going to play this clip. | ||
It's a minute long. | ||
And this was from right after Elon acquired what was in Twitter. | ||
The really hard thing for Musk, and this is what I'm saying, I think this is a huge strategic mistake for him. | ||
And the people who should be really angry today are Tesla shareholders because most of Musk's net worth is tied up in Tesla shares. | ||
Tesla is a company that actually makes stuff that has to follow the law to ship products around the world and has huge exposure to all of these different regions that want to control the internet. | ||
That is, as you and I talk about all the time, the number one fight over the next ten years is going to be who gets to control what speech is allowed online and every government outside of the US with our First Amendment wants to do that. | ||
And so Musk has done something that is unprecedented here, which he has said, I am personally responsible for content moderation on this platform. | ||
And by the way, most of my money is in a car company that makes and ships cars in all of these jurisdictions. | ||
Tesla has a factory in Berlin, Berlin, the headquarters of European content moderation, right, with Germany and NetSDG. | ||
So he's basically suggesting that if they want to coerce censorship on X, they should target the personal assets or equity holdings or the essentially go try to get the shareholders to do a color revolution ground up, you know, revolt at a corporate level against Tesla in order to compel censorship at X. It's basically ESG. | ||
Yes, yes. | ||
True. | ||
But we also saw this during these are the same folks who were involved in the Tesla takedowns that, you know, I think helped drive a wedge between the Trump and Elon sides of the White House. | ||
I'm 100%. | ||
There's a if I played clips earlier from Maria Stefan and the US Institute of Peace, and this is we saw this. | ||
Same thing with this group being involved, not just in essentially hinting to the German government that they could go after Tesla there three years ago. | ||
But this very same network – and I'll play this clip here. | ||
This is Erika Chenoweth who is – who was a – She was the co-author of books on how to do color revolutions with Maria Stefan, the head of the program on nonviolent action at the Taxpayer F funded and founded U.S. Institute of Peace. | ||
Here's her from just two months ago. | ||
This clip is called How to Impose Direct Costs on Fascists. | ||
Erica Chenoweth on Moving Beyond Protests. | ||
And I'll play a little bit of this because it's two minutes and 45 seconds, but then I'll want to focus on the end part of the clip. | ||
Just kind of mute that. | ||
Sorry, man. | ||
Yeah, I'll just take it for you. | ||
unidentified
|
I'll mute time. | |
I think sometimes people look at movements and they think, okay, there's pers protest, and that's separate from persuasion. | ||
That's just bodies in the streets. | ||
But it seems like they really are, they need to work together. | ||
Yeah, that's a good question. | ||
She looks exactly how you describe it. | ||
Gene Sharp, who is considered by many as being a really, like, potentially the key intellect in the latter part of the 20th century on nonviolent action. | ||
Now she keeps citing Gene Sharp here as their godfather, as they all do. | ||
And I want to just point out a couple facts about this to, again, connect this to the larger network. | ||
Gene Sharp was, his institution was given 50. | ||
million by the U.S. military. | ||
He and Henry Kissinger were part of something called the CIA at Harvard. | ||
It was a cleverly named, clever acronym. | ||
It was the Center for International Affairs. | ||
So the acronym is CIA, so it was colloquially called the CIA at Harvard. | ||
And they received $50 million from the U.S. military as part of Project Camelot, one of the most infamous Cold War social science projects, the Manhattan Project of Social Science, whose goal was methods for predicting and influencing social change and internal war potential, how to essentially create civil wars in order to overturn governments who didn't give the World Bank or the U.S. State Department what they wanted. | ||
And this was a it was run by the office of the Chief of Psychological Warfare, which, you know, is going to get us back to this Fort Bragg sort of idea, but this was $50 million in military funding in order to come up with this playbook for how to topple governments through a bottom-up, people-powered color revolution instead of a direct military coup or military invasion. | ||
But it was still a military thing. | ||
It's mobs in the streets as George Soros does, as these networks do, are a paramilitary action. | ||
They're essentially a kind of special forces small wars type thing. | ||
But that's who she's citing here, the $50 million in Pentagon contracts for psychological warfare. | ||
This is the guru. | ||
The theory of civil resistance kind of makes the kind of categorizes methods of nonviolent action into three buckets. | ||
And the first bucket is what he actually calls protest and persuasion. | ||
That's the first bucket. | ||
The second bucket is non cooperation. | ||
And the third bucket is what he calls alternative institutions or methods of nonviolent intervention, which includes alternative institutions. | ||
And the reason in the first bucket he puts protest and persuasion in the same category, I think, is because of this kind of tactical acknowledgement that protest is a largely symbolic action. | ||
The reason that she's bringing this up is, you'll see it's called moving beyond protests. | ||
And this was at the time of these Tesla takedown attacks. | ||
And so I'll let it play here. | ||
Protests as such, as opposed to say strikes, are there to make a point. | ||
And protest it sort of depends on what the movement is trying to do. | ||
make a point or is it also trying to articulate new values? | ||
Is it trying or the movement's own values? | ||
Is it trying to set the agenda? | ||
Is it trying to put pressure, you know, on particular policymakers to advance new policies or plans or to get on their side or whatever. | ||
So there's lots of things that can be done with protest, but it's largely a sort of communication device between the movement and the public. | ||
Sometimes it can serve an organizing function because it's a way of people to find themselves in a movement and then they can be they can be further engaged through protest. | ||
through mass organizations and things like that. | ||
But it's largely like a communication and signaling device. | ||
That's compared to things like mass non cooperation, like the strike or different types of social ostriasation campaigns and things which are meant to impose direct costs and they do impose costs, right? | ||
So if you look at things like the Tesla sellbacks and the suggestion to people that they should not buy Teslas or to make showrooms like uncomfortable places for people to be in, therefore they don't go to make showrooms uncomfortable places to be in. | ||
This is showing up in someone's place of business and not just because it's one thing to say okay we're not going to buy this product i wouldn't buy a george soros product but to make showrooms uncomfortable places to be in and these are the same people and i'm just going to show you guys this on screen i i showed you guys earlier the official you paid for it taxpayers civil resistance advanced course a 312 page guidebook from the u.s government on how to organize riots and block roads and | ||
deliberately get yourself arrested so that the media can portray you as a martyr. | ||
Institute of Peace. | ||
You'll see that she is actually one of the contributing experts to this very guidebook. | ||
But I know that we do have to get to the super chats. | ||
So let me remind everyone to go to timcast.com and check us out on Rumble and YouTube. | ||
You guys have been with me here for so many years. | ||
I really appreciate it. | ||
I know my reconstruction surgery is a little off-putting, but you'll get used to it. | ||
I hope the beard implant is aesthetic. | ||
It's, you know, I'll have no regrets being trans faced years from now. | ||
Schools are safe. | ||
But let's turn now to the super chats. | ||
All right. | ||
Should I start? | ||
I just mentioned the name and then just read out the comment. | ||
Okay, two dollars from Raymond G. Stanley Jr. | ||
Tim, I can't place it, but you look different. | ||
Well, you know, I I let the beard grow. | ||
While Tim was away, he became a member of the Clean Plate Club and started lifting heavyweights. | ||

|
Nice. | |
It's, uh, okay. | ||
So Heron Gaming News, member for 33 months. | ||
All right. | ||
Thank you for the sport. | ||
Thank you. | ||
I wonder how the left can continuously deflect and blame guns rather than just admit that these events are about mental health, not the tool. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
It's wild because they'll tell you that they have all these mental health problems and then immediately after say, and this is how we should do our structure, our monetary policy going for for the next 15 years. | ||
It's like, what are you talking about? | ||
It's just complete, it's nonsense to me. | ||
But anyways, let's keep going with this right here. | ||
All right. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
Corey, okay. | ||
Well, Corey, you've got a love letter. | ||
David Brickin, $50. | ||
All right. | ||
Thanks. | ||
I need proof of life at this point. | ||
Let me see Tim and we'll discuss the terms of release. | ||
That is Tim. | ||

|
Bro. | |
I'm right here. | ||
Ready to rumble. | ||
We got okay Shane Wilder. | ||
Shane H. Wilder. | ||
Shane H. Wilder. | ||
The corporate media doesn't want to call a spade a spade because that goes against their narrative. | ||
That and they only care about the quote evil guns not a demon possessed trans dude killing Christians true yeah true that true yeah they got the trans community I've seen a lot of people blaming it on guns as much as they've been blaming it on misgendering like that I've seen more people blaming it on this person getting misgendered than guns. | ||
The person misgendered himself. | ||
I know. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
He was doing it himself. | ||
I know what they're talking about. | ||
He was just openly like, I'm a man. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I this is he's like, I don't know. | ||
I don't like what's going on here. | ||
I wish I was a woman, but clearly I'm not. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I've seen so many people like claiming like, oh, well, this person was clearly like a straight male. | ||
Like he said it them himself. | ||
I'm like, yeah, I mean, you're totally ignoring the major context in the story where he said he was mad that he convinced himself of this, frustrated with the situation, frustrated that he couldn't back out of the situation because his own community was then going to rally against him and cancel him in all these ways that we just talked about, just removing, removing, or like, I guess holding them accountable. | ||
Against the same cancel culture that we've heard a thousand times. | ||
And he says that in the manifesto that was released and people are still saying, no, no, he claimed he was a straight guy. | ||
Like, what are you guys talking about? | ||
It's so disingenuous and it's what they've been doing for so long that to have this happen like this and then to go, no, well, it's the guns again.. | ||
It just drives me insane. | ||
You guys have probably seen me posting on Twitter about it, but it's just ridiculous. | ||
Like right here is a good example of this one right here. | ||
Oh, what? | ||
When should a shooter's background, that one? | ||
Yeah, that one or there. | ||
Okay, AK Storm 49 for two dollars. | ||
When should a shooter's background be highlighted and when should they be suppressed? | ||
I've always heard we don't want to give the POS the airtime because they wanted that, but how do we learn from it? | ||
And then this next one above it. | ||
Yeah, and well, that is bad for the optics, a trans not wanting to be trans. | ||
One dollar from St. Miles, thank you. | ||
Yeah, I mean, the fact that it's some, you know, you can't, it's an apostate situation. | ||
If you are, if you express any kind of, you know, doubt in the religion, in the ideology, you know, they want to do all they can to disown you or to, you know, discredit you as much as possible. | ||
They don't want bad PR. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Too late though. | ||
Yeah, they hate detransitioners with a passion. | ||
Yeah. | ||
999 from the Skull Kid. | ||
How is literally writing Kill Donald Trump on his magazine not politically motivated? | ||
Oh man. | ||
Because his political statements were a total cacophony of nonsense in like three different languages. | ||
Like, he's obviously a lunatic and I don't think we should just take the things that were written in his journal, the manifesto, the guns at face value. | ||
Obviously, he's crazy. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's like when they couldn't find a motive for the Butler shooter. | ||
He he he he he He he shot the president in the face in broad daylight. | ||
What was his motive? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Oh, that's the president of the United States? | ||
No, I thought that was just a random speaker. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Think about the shooter in Tennessee from when was that? | ||
January of this year? | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
The black guy? | |
Yeah. | ||
The through line there is that he had a manifesto of sorts talking about how he's a Nazi and he hates all non whites. | ||
That obviously is a political statement, but it makes no sense because he's a black man. | ||
Why is he saying that? | ||
It's just probably because he's brainwashed and we never found out more information about who he was in communication with. | ||
I just saw a through line between this shooter, the shooter in Tennessee and the shooter in Wisconsin. | ||
Like all the same aesthetics, all the same language, all the same speech patterns. | ||
They kind of look the same, dress the same. | ||
The obsession with the Columbine shooters, but obsession with so many different mass murderers. | ||
that had all different motivations. | ||
We saw that here with different ideologies. | ||
Talking about Andrews Brevick and Timothy McVeigh and even. | ||
Completely unrelated. | ||
He was like left wing on everything except he liked right wing mass shooters. | ||
So it's not supposed to make sense. | ||
No, it's not. | ||
That's what people I think are making the mistake of like it's like the whole facts of the feelings don't care about your facts situation. | ||
It's like, yeah, facts don't care about your feelings as well, but they don't care about facts. | ||
It never was about facts. | ||
Like we have people that are saying the craziest stuff and everyone needs they just need to realize that people we're talking to don't care if you write a 500 word response on Twitter. | ||
They're just going to ignore you and call you an idiot. | ||
So don't even try to do that. | ||
It's not going to help. | ||
Like it's not about about that. | ||
It's not about that. | ||
No, exactly. | ||

It's so weird. | ||
From AK Storm 49, for the Catholic ladies, what kind of guys have you seen your friends dating? | ||
Do they have their pick of the litter or is it a lot of guys that are beaten down by feminism and angry at women? | ||
Do they mean Catholic women? | ||
For the Catholic ladies. | ||

Oof. | ||

Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And so it's like, ouch. | ||
The dating pool is very limited. | ||
She hasn't been able to meet someone who is willing to lead, particularly in the faith. | ||
Why is it afflicting the Catholic community more than I think it's all men in DC and it doesn't matter if you're Catholic or not, maybe. | ||
I don't know. | ||
But there's still men in today's society, so. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
It's kind of inevitable. | ||
But honestly, a lot of my friends are married, so that's like the only one I can really speak about. | ||
Right. | ||
Well, DC is like 93% Democrat, so you, you know, you're probably going to have an overlap there between more effeminate men in DC, regardless of whether they're Catholic or not. | ||
There's also something in the water. | ||
I don't know if you would agree with my read on this, but do you think that there's an asymmetry in the amount of female Catholic singles compared to male Catholic singles? | ||
It seems like there is a majority female user base on like any Christian or Catholic dating site. | ||
Yeah, I totally agree with that. | ||
And even just going to church and seeing like who's partnered up or has a family and who's their single, it's more women than men. | ||
Like I mean, my husband converted, so like I didn't even find a Catholic man. | ||
I had to make one. | ||
Yeah, I had to make one. | ||
So you're saying that the video game community, which is disproportionately men, should mingle with the church community, which is disproportionately single. | ||
Okay, all right. | ||
The Young Women's group at my church, which is very traditional, is much larger than the Young Men's group. | ||
They're bigger than the Young Men's group. | ||
Just saying. | ||
I believe that. | ||
All right, from Brom van Dop, as is tradition, coming in from the delivery room in Vernon, BC, we have two new additions to our family, Abraham and Boaz. | ||
Awesome. | ||

Twins. | |
Congratulations. | ||
That is great news. | ||
That's a cool name. | ||
Their five siblings are excited. | ||
Mama's a champ. | ||
Keep up the good worst, good work, Tim Cast. | ||
So that means you have seven kids? | ||
Bravo. | ||
Very good. | ||
That's awesome. | ||

All right, we're making matches here. | |
All right, cool. | ||
There's a there's a bunch more. | ||
I saw this one right here. | ||
It's good, pretty good. | ||
Okay. | ||
That's great. | ||
I'm impressed. | ||
Okay. | ||
From JD Fix 721, I have fourmazing kids homeschooling from homeschooling them. | ||
Hashtag outbreed the wokeness. | ||
Love the show. | ||
The teachers are being brainwashed in colleges and spreading their liberal ideals. | ||
The best way to combat it is homeschooling. | ||
True. | ||
And I'm happy to announce actually this week. | ||
I debuted model legislation to help get that out of schools to take out the, quote, media literacy programs that are required. | ||
This is this idea that if you read the wrong media sources, you are illiterate and they basically ban anyone who watches Tim Cast from being. | ||
able to access Timcast on a school device or cite it on school research questions, and I am now trying to work to get state legislatures to kick that the smack out. | ||
All right, from secession now we got Trump is going to send them, okay, well maybe we'll move on to the next one there. | ||
Okay, ten from Corey USMC. | ||
I don't believe we need to make this complex. | ||
The guy was a mentally ill leftist and mentally ill because he believed he was trans. | ||
Trans isn't a real thing. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah, I think you need to make it less reductive. | ||
I don't think you can accurately describe someone as a leftist who's that out of their mind. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, true. | |
And possibly, most likely, possessed by a demon. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Okay, like that's not a political act. | ||
Yeah, it's just like pure chaos. | ||
Well, remember everyone was saying that the Buffalo shooter was right wing because he was into like ethno nationalism, but then he also described himself as a left wing eco fascist. | ||
Like, yeah, these things are rarely neatly confined to a political box. | ||
Right, well, they're usually not kind of. | ||
It's weird because only an academic can kind of build a Jenga tower of logic to twist themselves into like really believing the sort of Karl Marxian, like super far left or the sort of, you know, kind of hyper fascist, like you, only an academic can really like be a true, like cohesive zealot in that way to like pretzel themselves into the logic. | ||
And so I don't think that these folks are particularly well read about it. | ||
They just kind of have an instinct that the world is unfair and that they are being sort of persecuted and this is their revenge on the world. | ||
But I don't think they're necessarily scholars who've ingested or put together a comprehensive mosaic in order to resolve contradictions in any sort of cohesive way. | ||
From Ted Bundy's Volkswagen, Seth Harp lied in his book, named real names without contacting the individuals. | ||
He also accused Delta Force of heinous misconduct with no evidence, low-level journalism. | ||
Don't take that book seriously. | ||
Well, here's my issue with that. | ||
Volkswagen. | ||
The history of narco-trafficking and the U.S. Special Forces did not start in 2020, 2021 with these murders. | ||
The role of the US military in drug trafficking around the world goes back before we even had a Department of Defense, back when it was the Department of War. | ||
It was the US Department of War that helped traffic drugs in the Golden Triangle in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and also to help the Kuomintang, the Chinese nationalists against the Chinese communists in the nineteen forties. | ||
They have been in this game for now seven centuries. | ||
There's a long history of this tie between the military and the narcotics industry. | ||
This is how we ended up in our mess. | ||
with China in the first place. | ||
We got Mao because of Britain's opium wars. | ||
Mao was revenge for the century of humiliation for when China refused to buy British drugs. | ||
And that's how we ended up, the British ended up with Hong Kong. | ||
They seized Hong Kong and bombed half of the cities on the South China Sea because China refused to buy the drugs that was enforced by the military. | ||
So I think that in order to solve the drug problem, you have to solve the Fort Bragg problem. | ||
And I'm happy that these issues are now being amplified. | ||
And we have another shot at the apple from the disclosures we almost had before Gary Webb shot himself in the back of the head twice. | ||
All right, from Seth Burton. | ||
He had Rupno on his gun, Christian school shooter from Wisconsin last December. | ||
Everyone misses this one on their lists. | ||
Same KMFDM shirt. | ||
Anyone know what Rupno is? | ||
The girl from Wisconsin. | ||
I think it was your last name. | ||
It was difficult to discern which of the excerpts from her manifesto were real, but I believe there were also self-contradicting statements in there as well where she was expressing like misandry, like extreme radical feminist views, but also extreme racism. | ||
And again, I just want to point out, like, I think that's intentional. | ||
Like, I think the rhetoric is deliberately self-contradictory and chaotic. | ||
That's for a reason. | ||
That's because these people are not politically motivated. | ||
In my opinion, that's just going to piss people off because they're so hasty to jump to a conclusion that's politically expedient and get retweets. | ||
Do you think a lot of this maybe comes from, like, the, just like the mental cogs crushing against themselves with the cognitive dissonance of all this of like you mentioned with academics being able to structure these logic, these logic trees to eventually say something that is not normally said in regular discourse because they've gone through all the, quote, unquote, rigorous understanding of all these different books and different things that inform the positions that they take so that they can say like, oh, well, I have this because of this. | ||
And they will cite all these sources to construct this discussion piece for like an academic circle. | ||
But it like I think the average 22-year-old that's undergoing MTF transition, if you want to call it that, and taking all these exogenous hormones, Lorandi, they're exogenous. | ||
I don't think they are going to be able, oh, like Nietzsche speaks of this. | ||
Like they don't have this framework to discuss these things. | ||
They hear such bombardment every single day of all these things. | ||
I think it literally grinds your gears. | ||
And like to what Mary is saying, like they don't know how to cope with this. | ||
And I think that they just lash out in their anger and their frustration and what they look at what they mentioned. | ||
Look at all this stuff they said in this in this stuff. | ||
And what they clearly what they went and did. | ||
They killed children at a Christian school, regardless of what faith it would be, even like it could be any faith. | ||
It could be a Hindu study and you went and killed children there. | ||
Like it would be reprehensible act, regardless. | ||
But the point is still like I think that this is coming from like be it a demon., I believe it's probably demons. | ||
I'm sure that you would say the same thing. | ||
I just, I don't know, I don't know, like, I don't know why everyone's ignoring that. | ||
It's like, there's definitely, there's definitely some logic there, this person as well, too. | ||
There's definitely some logic there coming out, but. | ||
Well, there is this kind of schizophrenic caleidoscope mind phenomenon. | ||
Exactly, exactly. | ||
It's often associated with, you know, the use of prescribed drugs at a young age and the like. | ||
And I know that. | ||
I say, sorry, I say. | ||
Right. | ||
And I believe that RFK came out and said that he's going to be looking into that or maybe the, some HHS folks. | ||
Five from, I'm sorry, from Spooky Toucan two. | ||
I'm a big Mike Benz fan. | ||
He's amazing. | ||
Can you get him on IRL sometime soon? | ||
I've never heard of the guy, but sounds interesting. | ||
Side note, if you do want to follow along, my alt account that I've been secretly running for the past three years, weirdly is a similar name. | ||
It's at Mike Ben Cyber on X, also on YouTube and Rumble, but it's not associated with that guy. | ||
All right. | ||
From you mummum make me happy, What if the shooter used a Sig P320? | ||
unidentified
|
it be it would definitely be sigs I had I had to bring that one up for philos uh I'm trying to get through these guys me happy what if the shooter used a cig pee? | |
YouTube's giving me the business here. | ||
It's really been difficult to use today so everyone knows I'm trying to get these chats to pop out and I have to refresh it every single time here so give me a second guys. | ||
Surge is literally fighting with the computer. | ||
It's it's so frustrating. | ||
Let's see if I can pop this out right here. | ||
From Heisenberg. | ||
Love Ben's cast. | ||
Great job Mike. | ||
Don't know what you're talking about. | ||
Let's see if I can go to this like this. | ||
Sorry guys. | ||
Why is that not allowed? | ||
I see from Raymond G. Stanley Jr. | ||
Let me just go like this so you can read them all. | ||
Yeah, there she goes. | ||
Okay. | ||
From the Xbox Gamer, white males in TC are so emasculated by lib women and vilified by new and prolific minorities that extreme behavior, transing, mass pew-pewing is a natural consequence. | ||
White males in what? | ||
He said TC, but maybe he meant, I'm trying to look how close on the keyboard the T and the D are. | ||
I presume he meant DC. | ||
Vilified by new and prolific minorities. | ||
What's the new minority? | ||
I imagine as we're talking about just in general. | ||
Okay, from Raymond G. Stanley Jr., you can be a feminist racist, not contradicting. | ||
This is sort of like TERF, you know, the trans exclusionary radical feminist. | ||
It's like a racist exclusionary. | ||
Marvin Sanger is literally a racist feminist. | ||
You can, I'm just saying it's incredibly uncommon and it would be shocking for someone to be radicalized by that specific ideology into shooting up a school. | ||
Like it just sounds far fetched to me. | ||
Like that's not plausible. | ||
unidentified
|
I see that. | |
Lurch 685 asks, how is Bolton worth 80 million dollars. | ||
Government workers are overpaid by not, but not that much. | ||
Okay, let me explain this. | ||
Remember, John Bolton was the national security advisor and one of the, you know, highest level military and intelligence officials in the U.S. government. | ||
with huge influence for 40 years in this country over the foreign policy decisions that our Pentagon, our CIA, our State Department, and our humanitarian aid organizations give. | ||
So when a foreign country or a multinational business or hedge fund wants the American government to do something, they pay a John Bolton type as a consultancy fee or a speaker fee to appear there, but then go back to DC and tell his friends at the Pentagon or the National Security Council or the CIA or the State Department to go do the thing that helps Company X, whether that's Lockheed Martin as a defense contractor. | ||
John Bolton famously Trump said that if he had kept him for another three months as National Security Advisor, we'd be in World War 6 by now. | ||
John Bolton, I say this a lot, but find you a woman who looks at you the way that John Bolton looks at predicates to war. | ||
He threatened the head of the OPCW with that he knew where his kids lived, reportedly by the Chemical Weapons Review when they stood in the way of the war in Iraq. | ||
How much do you think the weapons industry loves that or the oil industry who relies on the battering ram of the Pentagon to secure their markets or any multinational company or foreign governments who want the U.S. to go after their enemies. | ||
What you have is a kind of prostitute class with these intelligence officials and national security bigwigs that that they do favors for these stakeholders on the outside while they're going to these big think tank cocktail parties. | ||
They are getting promised board seats or big fat consultancies or speaker circuit or book deal type arrangements for doing favors for them. | ||
This is how you have Nikki Haley going from the Trump administration to then being put on the how did her net worth suddenly skyrocket eight million dollars? | ||
Well, came because she got put on the board of Boeing while she's calling for war. | ||
So this is this relationship. | ||
What is Mark Milley doing right now? | ||
Mark Milley, the four-star general, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he's a banker. | ||
He's working for JP Morgan Chase. | ||
Do you think he's ever opened an Excel spreadsheet in his life? | ||
Do you think he can do a discounted cash flow analysis of a private company? | ||
No, he doesn't know at all about banking, but what he knows about is blobbing. | ||
And who was the guy? | ||
Bill Burns was the CIA director for Joe Biden, but he was the second pick. | ||
You know who the New York Times reported was the top pick for CIA director? | ||
It was the guy who's currently the head of the BlackRock Investment Institute, the brain for investment decisions inside BlackRock, Tom Donellan. | ||
Tom Donellan was the national security advisor, the John Bolton for Barack Obama, and he won the CIA Director's Award. | ||
And then he was asked to be the head of the CIA by Joe Biden in 2021. | ||
unidentified
|
He turned it down because he wanted to continue being a banker. | |
He had never done banking in his life. | ||
He went from the State Department to the CIA and National Security Advisor, National Security Council, straight to the banks who bet on the direction of companies by taking equity investments and serving as hedge funds. | ||
And so anyway, that's how they make all this money. | ||
Sorry. | ||
That's a good question. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Also, Matt Brown, Matt Brown, Matt Brown, Matt Brown says Matt Brown. | ||
Okay, very good. | ||

JH said Trump let Putin do what he wants in Ukraine. | ||
In exchange, Putin let Trump deal with Venezuela. | ||
That's it. | ||
What do you guys think of that? | ||
I mean, isn't Venezuela like ours to deal with? | ||
Wasn't that like the Monodoctrine? | ||
Where's the doctrine again that refers to like South America being our responsibility essentially? | ||
I don't know what that is. | ||
And it's not like Trump let Putin do whatever he wants. | ||
Right, right. | ||
Putin was in Ukraine in control of the Donbass when Trump came back into office. | ||
That's that might be the most ridiculous super shadow of that. | ||
But another thing is the glut of oil from Venezuela competes with Russian oil. | ||
There are some, I think that there is a kind of axis of resistance, but I think Venezuela has also gotten closer to China in this period. | ||
Brody Sava says, Tim, next time you see Benz., tell him, sorry I missed him when he was in my hometown of New Orleans, as I'm on the road to. | ||
Maybe next time, yes, in the House of the Rising Sun. | ||
We'll tell that guy when we have him on here finally to check you out there. | ||
From Cornelius, butt knuckle, protesters are gay. | ||
Yeah, we're running a bit. | ||
Are we over time? | ||
A bit thin. | ||
No, we're just a bit thin on all of our super chats today. | ||
So I guess we got this one here. | ||
I saw a couple more. | ||
Homeschooling is a stupid. | ||
This is from Eric Shaver. | ||
Homeschooling is a stupid idea because you still have to pay taxes for everyone else's kids to put into public school. | ||
Idiots. | ||
Well, you know, they, it is a cartel. | ||
Definitely. | ||
Do you think there's a way that you can maybe make that a credit or a tax credit for people that are not like, that's the premise of school choice policy, yeah. | ||
Okay. | ||
Which is that you get the amount that you would spend educating your child in a public school in a stipend that you can either use for educational materials or put it in a 529 plan. | ||
Okay. | ||
If you bought the, I know we skipped over a bunch in the other display. | ||
If you rumble rants. | ||
I'm trying to do that. | ||
It's just, it's unwieldy. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, because you got to go between YouTube and Rumble. | |
And then this gives me the business every single time here. | ||
So sorry, guys., I'm trying my best here. | ||
It's just, it's basically just broken in the browser. | ||
I don't know why they're doing this, but let me try and pop this out really fast. | ||
Oh, yeah? | ||
Because I can scroll from here if that's easier. | ||
Yeah, you won't get any lower than that. | ||
That's the problem. | ||
Oh, I see. | ||
I see. | ||
I'll pop it out. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Oh, It's all right. | ||
You can show it again. | ||
Almost there. | ||
I think we're about a minute out from anyway. | ||
So let's just do one more here. | ||
Let's see what we can get. | ||
All right here. | ||
Let me, okay. | ||
From Daniel Irving, Surge, I made software for that and tried to get to you guys. | ||
I don't know what you mean. | ||
I'd have to like review the code of the software before I should put on this computer here. | ||
But just DM me on Twitter and I'll look over what you sent me, man. | ||
Sorry for missing it. | ||
Okay. | ||
Xbox Gamer says TC is Twin Cities. | ||
And for the new and prolific minorities, he means the Somalis, which is another sort of accidentally hilarious sort of dark humor. | ||
Part of this is like, what do you think the Somali population's view on transgender? | ||
This is one of the things they box themselves into with intersectionality. | ||
It's like, do you think that the new Somali war refugee population, you know, loves the kind of protected class transgender issue? | ||
First of all, I don't think the Somalis even have a concept of transgender. | ||
Second of all, I still don't want Somali immigrants. | ||
Drew. | ||
Okay, I think that's it. | ||
Okay, all right, awesome. | ||
So next up we're doing the members. | ||

What up? | ||
You're live. | ||
Okay, all right. | ||
What's up, Honey? | ||
What's up? | ||
How are you doing? | ||
All right, so we're going to lead in with from the Daily Caller, Ambers. | ||
All right, home demand. | ||
Okay, exclusive. | ||
Christy Noam cutting thousands of DEI wasteful spending contracts. | ||
So DHS is scrapping thousands of FEMA contracts after billions of dollars in waste and fraud were found. | ||
The Department of Government Efficiency found FEMA spending on inflated contracts, duplicate services and programs are called fraudulent or unnecessary. | ||
In response, they're cutting the contracts and boosting oversight. | ||
The Daily Caller obtained a sample of the contracts flagged by DOGE. | ||
This is a FEMA spokesperson said any American who opened the books at FEMA and saw their lackluster spending controls and policies would be horrified. | ||
I wonder if they asked Alex Jones for comment about what was really going on at FEMA. | ||
Nearly $10.7 million went to.. | ||
to Ready Campaign's media deliverables for public safety announcements, while another $3,3 million funded internal marketing, meant to cajole FEMA employees to complete an annual survey. | ||
$3,3 million to tell you to fill out a survey. | ||
unidentified
|
The agency, it's incredible stuff. | |
I spent the afternoon today with like three other people in the Daily Caller office going through the spreadsheet that we got of all these contracts. | ||
We were able to review, I think, like sixty of them. |
