Democrat Vows To Kill Trump In Campaign Ad | Timcast IRL #1436 Show less
He was a former state rep, and it looks like he's not doing too well.
Well, he's got a new campaign promise.
He's vowing to kill Donald Trump.
Not exaggerating.
He's saying that as AG, he will sentence Trump to death formally through the state, which is still just him campaigning on killing Trump.
So I don't know what his point was.
But he's certainly getting attention for it.
So congratulations.
In this hyper-internet reality, everyone so desperate for attention will say or do anything.
He may as well have just said, please, for the love of all that is holy, look at my face.
Because it worked.
And we're talking about him and his pictures everywhere.
And then we've got probably one of the saddest stories.
Now, I know a lot of you are deeply upset over the killing of Alex Preddy in Minnesota.
It's a sad story, nonetheless, but I'm sure a lot of conservatives say, well, you know, don't bring a gun to a cop fight.
It appears that MS now is running a photoshopped version of this guy to make him look hot.
Or at least hot Er.
This is not a joke.
They took an old photo of him, face-tuned it, gave him some muscle, widened his jaw, gave him a little bit of a tan, some buy.
This is absolutely insane.
And you know, I know it's deeply political, and we're analytical when we look at these circumstances, but I genuinely feel bad for this guy's legacy with how they're treating him by basically saying he was so ugly that we have to photoshop his face and put it on TV because they don't want people to see what he actually looked like.
Yowza.
Man, okay.
Well, we're going to talk about that.
There's a bunch of other news.
Right now, the question is: did Trump concede?
And the funny thing is, liberal activists think Tim Waltz conceded, and many conservatives think Trump conceded, but Trump's diehard base thinks he won.
He's not backing down.
They're saying he's just restrategizing.
Well, Tim Waltz called Trump and said they were going to work together.
So leftists stormed his office, furious saying no surrender, which, okay.
We'll talk about all that.
Before we do, my friends, we had a great sponsor for you guys.
It is CrowdHealth.
Go to joincrowdhealth.com and check it out, my friends.
CrowdHealth is, it's not insurance.
It is the crowd coming together to help pay for everybody's medical bills.
Right now, it's open enrollment.
Season where health insurance companies hope you'll blindly sign up again for overpriced premiums and confusing fine print.
Don't just take someone else's word.
Trust yourself, take control of your future with CrowdHealth, the healthcare alternative for people who make their own decisions.
It's a healthcare fund or $100.
You'll get access to a team of health bill negotiators, low-cost prescription, and lab testing tools, as well as a database of low-cost, high-quality doctors vetted by CrowdHealth.
And what if something major happens?
You pay the first 500 bucks, then the crowd steps in to help fund the rest.
It feels like the options we used to have before Obamacare messed everything up.
And of course, you'll join the crowd, a group of members just like you want to help pay for each other's unexpected medical events.
The system is betting you'll stay stuck in the same overpriced, over-complicated mess.
And this year, it's even more complicated because most of the ACA subsidies expire, which means your prices are going sky high.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more.
This is Elliot Forhan, candidate for Ohio Attorney General.
I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump.
I mean, I'm going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment.
That is what I mean when I say that I'm going to kill Donald Trump.
It's just, I love this post where it was like, Donald Trump can storm into Venezuela and capture their president, but he can't arrest one journalist, you know, who stormed a church in Minnesota.
He has more control over foreign countries than he does his own nation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I love the guys.
I'm just going to call it coping and seething.
Like, they're withdrawing the criminal complaint against Don Lemon because it's actually part of their plan.
It's like, uh-huh.
No, they wanted him arrested and they couldn't do it.
Yeah, Trump's withdrawing Bovino, and there's rumors that Christy Noam is going to get fired or reassigned.
And he's basically not firing, but you're doing the administrative, like, shove him in the corner.
And they're like, no, that's actually Trump winning.
It's like the reason you see these suburb cops arresting a bunch of these protesters.
And these people are like, yeah, but now, you know, Tim Waltz bent the knee.
The police have come in.
No, no, I'll tell you what happened.
Trump agreed to pull out Bovino because he screwed everything up.
His messaging was bad, and Noam's messaging was bad.
And the reason why the cops came and pushed the protesters out was because in exchange for Trump's retreat, they offered him safe passage.
This right here is direct evidence that Donald Trump is nothing that the left says he is.
If he was anything like the left says he is, this guy'd be in jail just because he'd send his gestapo down there to pick him up and just toss him in a hole.
That's what he said.
He would have stocked.
Yeah.
But what is real is we don't live in a Nazi fascist blah, blah, blah.
We live in a country where retards like this can say this kind of stuff.
And my eyes roll so hard that they almost fall out of my head.
The other thing, too, I mean, we saw Jay Jones just won in Virginia, even though he said he wanted to see the children of Republican colleagues killed.
You know, I mean, this is what they keep electing on purpose.
I got to add real quick just for the chat because I'm seeing a bunch of conflicting comments and I'm curious.
So it's split between Bovino was doing a great job.
Okay.
Then why did Trump pull him out?
If he was doing a great job, Trump pulled him out because Trump wants to change course or what's the issue.
Others are saying Trump is strategically retreating.
It's not a defeat.
Trump sent in Bovino.
Christy Noam was the boss.
Trump is pulling them out.
And I call it cope, right?
That's fine.
I said yesterday, strategic retreat, I said it this morning, is not defeat.
Sometimes you have to do it.
it and I'll give him credit for that.
I think he realized Bofino was causing damage and the Stephen Miller message of this guy was going to massacre people failed miserably and made them all look bad.
Now he's sending in Tom Homan.
But anyway, you cut it.
Trump decided the current leadership team wasn't working.
If you wargame past conflicts and battles, especially, you'll see some, you know, often actually, like throughout history, where the winning side will lose battles.
Pretty blatantly.
You know, if you want to consider this like a culture, warrior, culture, war thing, like sometimes you flank and you send in and you attack the front and your guys just get it.
I would love and you basically have no choice but to retreat.
I would love to see the Trump administration send ICE into cities or neighborhoods where they're welcome, like right-wing cities to round up the illegal city.
I would love to see like some pro-Trump propaganda where you're showing the city people welcoming ICE there and like, you know, celebrating them, giving them free food and stuff.
I think if you took ICE and had them do operations in like right-wing cities, you would see the general population be like, oh, we're glad you guys are here.
I mean, when the left comes out and protests, you don't have paramilitary, right-wing groups going, just beating people outside of a grocery store, protesting plastic bags.
Yeah, but I mean, like, more to the point of if a bunch of leftists show up to protest meat, there's never a right-wing pro-Republican group that shows up and says, leave Cargill alone and bashes them with sticks the way Antifa does when people on the right protest Democrat policy positions.
I mean, you've been to a lot of these protests on the field.
And what I've seen too, covering, especially the anti-ICE protests in Dallas, is like you will have these organized groups that will call together a protest.
And then these people, they all show up.
And then you'll have like five or six, depending on the size, people in these vests.
And they're the organizers, right?
They're telling them what to do.
They've got the loudspeakers, hey, we need to back off or hey, we're pushing forward.
So to your point, yeah, you do have some sort of organization there.
And you don't really see that in the right.
Like I very rarely see right-wing big protests, but you don't have people deleting them.
We had a reporter go into one of the women's march virtual trainings, and they were talking about how in Minneapolis and St. Paul, hotel workers will call in the activists to do what they call wake-ups, and then all the activists show up outside the hotel to like bang on their drums and bottles and cans and whatever else they're doing and cause a little mess.
I don't understand why conservatives think they would ever win a civil war when they have no fighters, no communications, no organization whatsoever.
By all means, you can point out there are small militias that don't do anything and they exist like we know there's a group of guys in the South somewhere.
Yeah, you're right, but like you're less willing to perform these acts because you're like, well, I don't want to put myself in harm's way because I have five people to have a group chat.
To do what?
To chat about, to LARP about we're going to do something one day?
The right doesn't even have, the right doesn't even have mutual aid groups the way the left does.
Meaning the left could are literally in group chips being like, bring food to this place.
And the right doesn't have this stuff.
They have small communities.
But again, the point is, if there were to be any kind of civil war breakdown, all of these conservatives say things like, haha, look how dumb and fat they are.
And I'm like, bro, you'd be routed in two seconds.
You have no communications.
By all means, get guns in your basement.
But what do you do when seven leftists are surrounding your house with guns too?
So if it ever came down to it, conservatives are just fractured, disparate, no communications.
They got guns.
Give them that.
So it'll be slow to conquer them.
But communications, it's the most important thing.
The reason why in the battlefields they played trumpets and bang drums was to signal the troops what to do.
If you couldn't send the information, you couldn't win.
And when you look at what's going on in Minnesota with this massive signal group that they keep rebuilding, and you know they operate in other states as well, you can see that if it all went tits up tomorrow, conservatives would be holding an empty bag saying, what do we do?
And the left would be like, take these streets, take these bridges, take these depots.
I'm going to read some of these comments because, guys, for those that are listening and commenting, I know it's the 1% rule, but if you can't understand what's being said right now, you will lose everything you have.
And I'm going to make this clear for the people saying, Tim's wrong.
Tim, I would die for my family.
The left has thousands of people networked.
They're dumb as a box of rocks.
But if, let's say, a bridge collapsed, how are you getting from point A to point B?
The first thing you're going to be doing is saying, I don't know what's going on.
And what we see historically in every revolution, civil war or otherwise, is people turn their radios on, they turn the TV on, or they seek out a place where they typically gather information.
So if you're talking about in the past, they go to city centers, town halls, or they go to churches.
The left already knows what to do.
They've pre-planned this.
If a bridge goes down, it may be because they took it out.
They have supplies, food, and they know who's in charge.
If everything collapsed tomorrow, conservatives would look to the government and they'd look to online communications.
The left would be already in their mesh network saying, what's our next move?
They're three steps ahead of you.
If you are not concerned about what we learned is going on with the insurgent groups in Minnesota and you're sitting there saying, I've got guns and I die for my family, Tim, you're wrong.
Congratulations.
You are right.
You've got honor, integrity, and weapons, and you would die for your family.
Beautiful, and I respect that tremendously.
Who are you with?
Where are you going?
Where does your water come from?
Where does your food come from?
And who is going to be in control of the weapons surrounding your jurisdiction?
The left has already planned these things out.
They already have your license plates.
They know who you are.
They know where you live.
They probably know what weapons you have.
And before any of that happens, they already know who they have in your neighborhood and they're watching you already.
That's why when James O'Keefe pulled in in a rental car, they knew his phone number.
They knew what he was driving.
This means someone in the state had his license plate and gave access to the database to this insurgency network.
And someone at the rental agency gave the information on the rental to this network as well.
I'm sorry, if you can't understand that, you are cooked.
I think that the fact that the right doesn't protest is part of the reason why.
I don't think that the right are as numerous and organized as the left, but I do think that there are groups of people on the right that are organized.
And I think the reason people don't see them in their net, they're more below the, they're not being, they're not observed is because they don't go out and protest.
They don't have these, they don't have the same kind of infrastructure because they're not outdoing things.
In the Alex Predi incident, 50 people had swarmed the agents that day.
50.
What people see and what they're being told is that Predi showed up to protest.
He showed up at a protest.
That's not what happened.
A network of insurgents, they're armed.
They have people with guns that were out patrolling.
We've seen all the photos and videos.
It's just that people on the right don't understand the depths of the insurgency and they don't believe it or they don't want to believe it.
And they're also extremely arrogant thinking, haha, we got guns, we're going to win.
Communications is everything.
On that day, CBP had apparently been intercepted by at least 50 different people, which is probably why the agents were freaking out and overly aggressive.
Because this may have been the seventh or eighth time a group of people jumped out of their cars standing in traffic screaming at them.
And no matter where they go, they're being stalked and followed.
These people are on shifts.
And, you know, it's funny because there's, I guess we'll get to a second.
I'll show you this right now, real quick.
We'll come back to it.
But Bonchi over at Red State says the quote, he had an extra mag is the right-wing version of, quote, he crossed state lines, a completely irrelevant qualifier, only meant to elicit assumptions wrong.
Now, the point here is this guy was on duty.
He was on duty for a paramilitary organization whose intentions is fifth generational warfare to resist, their word, the federal government duly elected dispatching law enforcement.
Their intention is quote unquote, I'm not touching you, harassment and warfare.
The goal of the left is to harass to the point where any media that emerges will be a recruiting tool.
That is, get in the face of a cop, punch him in the face if you have to, start filming after he retaliates.
Now, there's a question of why did Predty show up with a nine millimeter with an extra magazine?
So here's a guy who confronted ICE as part of an organized insurgent group who's confronting law enforcement for the purpose of a fifth generational war.
It's a psyop tactic.
He gets injured, says, I'm going to die, shows up next time with an extra magazine and a nine mil.
Like, he was a low-level loser that wanted to make a scene.
You see a lot of these body cam videos where these people get pulled over, and the first thing they get a speeding ticket, the first thing they do is they whip out their phone, they shove it in a cop's face because they, and they're like, I'm streaming on Facebook, I'm streaming on Facebook.
I think it's simpler than that.
I think that these people are just losers that want to make a scene that they hope they show up on social media.
Characterizing them as a group of losers, I think, is a mistake.
But I think that it's also a mistake to say that the right doesn't have anything.
The left is out there being activists because Donald Trump is in office.
They kind of went underground when Donald, when Joe Biden was in office and they did a little bit of stuff up in the Pacific Northwest.
But the right wing doesn't come out and organize because they're not activists the same way.
So whereas I understand what you're saying, that these people have a network and stuff like that.
I think that the reason you don't see the rights network, because there are signal chats that are a bunch of right-wing dudes, I mean, I'm familiar with that.
Well, because those guys get together and they train.
Well, you call them the feds, but the guys that are in Patriot Front, if you believe that they're not feds, they get together, they train together, they go to the gym together.
And my point is this group in Minnesota is networked with every other state.
It is a mesh network.
That's why we talk about these anti-fasselles, the groups that I refer to as the tourists.
How is it that we see the same left-wing activists organizing in China, Turkey, California, New York, Canada, Mexico?
Because these people never get caught, never get arrested.
Cam Higbee and Cam Higbee and more so.
Who are the guys that were?
You know, I'm talking about their.
They're finding all the paid, the paid networks.
Yeah Cam, and the guy we had on Lance Videos, Lance Videos yeah, and there's, there's some.
There was another person, I don't know the other person.
Well, the point is the high-ranking intelligent, high-level people.
First, at the highest level, you've got millionaires billionaires, financiers and we all know their names running these organizations and funding these various NGOs that do this.
Then you have the.
Those are the highest level guys.
There are high-level people, smarter than anybody in this room, running and organizing these things, and you're never going to learn their names.
They've networked interstate, and they tell people what to do.
They pay for lawyers.
And when anti-foot, I mean, take a look at this.
They've got judges.
Trump can't even get Don Lemon arrested.
And conservatives are like, I win a civil war.
You have no judges.
You can't even arrest one guy.
Like it is the epitome of arrogance that the right does not have a national mesh network the way the left does.
I'm just going to go ahead and say I think this conversation and many in the chat exemplifies the point of, I have witnessed powerful multi-millionaire leftists organizing, fomenting violence, planning it, and we know what Yuri Bezmanov talked about.
And it's like, no matter how many times you say the right doesn't have it, they're just like, we don't need it and they're dumb.
And the one that our reporter went into was talking about how to deal with hotels.
And a woman from the Sunrise Movement said, we have started having workers start requesting noise demonstrations.
We call them wide awakes.
Start requesting wide awakes in the middle of the night.
We've had reports of ICE agents leaving after our noise demonstrations.
We've had multiple hotels report to us that they have quietly decided to kick ICE out because they don't want to say it publicly so they don't get backlash, but they've told us they've decided to kick ICE out.
We've even had two hotels.
We've gotten word, not from them, but through the grapevine, they specifically refused to house ICE because of our noise demonstrations.
She said, she said, it sort of comes from the logic of when ICE is here, they need places to sleep, they need places to eat, they need ways to get around.
What are ways that we can physically interrupt the ways that they do that so that we can kick them out?
So what she's saying is they have networks for hotels, lodging, restaurants, food service, and all the transportation.
James O'Keefe pointed out that when he would go to a hotel, employees were in these grids and would flag his information, and then all of a sudden people would swarm and start stalking him.
Now, what's interesting about this is this comes just after we saw that viral video of the woman saying to fill syringes up and bring them to events.
With what?
Well, I don't know what she said.
Some people mentioned that she was a nurse that worked with like paralytic agents.
But I think, correct me if I'm wrong, what she was saying was that if leftists are showing up with syringes full of unknown liquid on their bodies, ICE and CBP would be terrified to touch them because they could get stabbed and infected or injected with something.
try again i don't know for mexican or something impeachment Look at the dude, the old guy in the audience, just kind of just like hanging out, just watching.
I'll say something too about, you know, in the previous conversation, the right is completely unwilling to engage in tactics to win war the way the left is.
And we've cited the Curtis Yarvin quote, which is really great, that the right treats power the way a wine snob treats alcohol, and Democrats treat power the way alcoholics treat alcohol.
The left is, I mean, we were talking about this a moment ago.
The AG in Virginia is saying he wanted conservative children to die in their parents' arms to teach conservatives a lesson.
Barr sends up the cops and crushes the revolt, pushes them out.
The media then says Trump is bunker boy and mercilessly beat peaceful protesters for a photo op.
What should Trump have done if he wanted to win?
Now, unfortunately for the Republicans, this would have been the, I would describe as not necessarily the most of malicious evil, but not the honorable course of action.
And that would have been, Trump should have stood down and let the far left ransack the White House.
What would the narrative have been if the day after May 29th, the White House grounds were aflame, St. John's Church was razed to the ground, they'd say, oops, Trump would come out and he'd say, last night, thousands of far-left extremists laid waste to the White House grounds, set fire to the historic St. John's church and burned it to the ground.
It's been destroyed.
This country cannot tolerate this degree of extremism.
And for this, we are organizing the Capitol Police to go nationwide and hunt down these insurrectionists.
Congress, Republicans, could announce a panel on the M29 committee to figure out how it is that this group was so organized, they were able to ransack and rush the White House and destroy a church and everything they did, the smoke and the fire emerging from D.C. See, on January 6th, Trump wanted the National Guard, but Pelosi wouldn't do it.
The Capitol Police wouldn't bring in backup, and there's a viral video of J-Sixers begging the cops standing around to do something.
Why wouldn't they?
Well, look at the narrative the Democrats got out of it.
Trump incited an insurrection.
It's his fault.
He's no longer eligible to be president.
Look, if they wanted to stop J6, they could have done it in two seconds.
I've seen fatter cops than the ones they had stop bigger riots.
Now, they stood down, let these people storm their way in for whatever reason.
And you could argue it's incompetence.
You can argue, look, I know a lot of cops were fighting on the front of the building, but they didn't get the backup they wanted, and the National Guard won sent in.
Trump went about May 29th in the overt, standard, honorable way.
We will not let extremists damage the White House or burn down churches, send in the troops.
The media loved it.
The left loved it.
Peaceful protesters mercilessly beaten by Trump's Gestapo.
Even though 70-plus feds were injured, a total of like 103 government employees, law enforcement were injured.
The media doesn't care.
But what happened when Andy No was left bleeding from the ears and nose and face?
All of a sudden, there was a narrative emerging that the left had gone too far and they started to panic.
The media couldn't deny it.
Brian Stelter finally got on his show and said, this was wrong and shouldn't have happened.
Because to the regular people not paying attention to the normal public who only get their news and politics passively, they were seeing images of a journalist, a gay Asian, left bleeding, bloodied up with, I think, like his ears were busted.
This is fifth generational warfare that the left understands perfectly.
And it goes back to Occupy Wall Street.
Occupy Wall Street only exists because Anthony Bologna pepper sprayed three women standing on the sidewalk.
This is, it's a fact.
The initial weekend of Occupy Wall Street was small and nobody was there.
I mean, not nobody, but it's small.
That week after that, I was there.
It was day three, the third day of the protests, and there was about seven people standing in Zuccotti Park, about seven.
It was raining and we were standing under a tarp and a cop walked over in a trench coat and says, man, more power to you.
They didn't care.
And the guys under the tarp said, don't worry, we're going to do a bigger protest this weekend.
More people will come out when they're off work.
That weekend, more people did show up, and they decided to march through the streets.
The police decided to end the unpermitted march by wrapping everybody up in a kettling net.
And there were three women standing on the sidewalk doing nothing.
They weren't fighting.
They were just standing at their arms down.
And Anthony Bologna, who was a white shirt NYPD, for no reason walked up and blasted him in the face with pepper spray.
In about 12 hours, the video got 1.2 million views on YouTube.
At the time, YouTube still being relatively young.
This was the fastest viral video they had seen.
Excuse me.
All of a sudden, there were occupies in every city across the country.
If Anthony Bologna did not pepper spray those women, there was no press, no attention, nothing.
And then after this, you got the takeover of the Brooklyn Bridge and the mass arrest, which the left then used again and said, the police marched us onto the bridge intentionally and then arrested 300 people.
All of a sudden, now you have 300,000 active, Occupy protesters across the country.
Every major city had an occupied protest.
That's what created it.
They have known since then.
The tactic is, it's the quote, I'm not touching you tactic.
You must be perceived as the victim at all times to win public support and delegitimize the government.
That would mean if Donald Trump on May 29th let the far left ransack everything.
Yes, some people have said the left will claim he's weak.
How could he let these people do it?
And Trump could come out and say, you're right.
I was too weak.
And for that, I apologize.
I had believed the reporting from the press that they were peaceful protests.
And out of an abundance of caution, a fear that innocent, peaceful protesters could be injured, I ordered the police to stand down.
And I was wrong.
I won't make the same mistake twice.
We will be expanding the Capitol police force to hunt down these insurrectionists and make sure they face justice.
Trump and the Republicans keep playing this straight on.
I like it to this.
The left are like ninjas and the right are like samurai, deeply honorable, staring you straight down and saying, this is what I'm going to do if you act out.
Meanwhile, the left are dressing up like handmaidens, walking in the back door and assassinating the emperor while no one's paying attention.
I think that's not necessarily like what the left is doing, but the right needs to have mutual aid groups and group chats networked with each other state.
State officials should be organizing this among people who care, and they should be in communications, not for tracking license plates, not for disrupting law enforcement operations, but for knowing what to do in an emergency and to generally just be connected because of what we're witnessing the left do.
It also helps to control for who is this guy and why did he do it?
Already people in chat are saying false flag attack.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Ilhan Omar is going to get a ton of attention from this.
A move like this does not benefit the right.
And every person, every single person knows it.
Donald Trump's assassination, the left claimed he faked it.
They claimed that Trump staged his own assassination because of how beneficial it was to him.
With liberals coming out and saying he just won his reelection.
The assassination attempt on Trump's life guaranteed he'd win.
And the crazy thing is, we still weren't entirely sure if Trump was going to win.
But that night on election day, I remember we're sitting at the Daily Wire office and I told the Daily Wire crew guys, I was like, hey, this might get contested.
We may be here, like the election may go on for a week.
We have a viral tweet from the red-headed libertarian, and this makes me look, I got to be honest.
I'm saddened by the death of Alex Predi.
I'm saddened by death in general.
I don't want this conflict and this fighting.
There's an argument over the legality and what people were doing, whether he was right to have been there, armed or otherwise.
But this genuinely makes me feel bad for the guy's legacy.
Josie says, it appears MSNBC gave Alex Predty a tan, a stronger jawline, better teeth, a shorter forehead, and a nose job to make him look hotter for the affluent white female liberals.
They broadened his shoulders, thickened his neck, and gave him biceps.
We were just talking about in the previous segment the lengths the left is willing to go to win.
The right is not.
And some people on the right sometimes do things like this, but it doesn't work because what motivates the right is calling out the deception and understanding what's happening.
But the left is fueled entirely by these zombie zealots that just believe what the TV tells them.
And they actually gave this guy a post-posthumous glow-up, right?
Post-mortem because they want women to be attracted to him.
They want to pull.
You know, look, I was saying this before Trump won because of suburban housewives.
And it was RFK Jr. who got him there.
So they're attacking RFK relentlessly and they're trying to convince these women to oppose Trump so they can win midterms and shout out the Republicans through by any means necessary.
They're actually firearms instructors that won't allow people to bring SIG 320s to their classes anymore just because it's not worth the risk.
So it is real.
Get a Glock.
That's my call on it.
But, you know, I mean, look, you can't, if the left will adjust the way Joe Rogan looks to make him look sickly during COVID, so they can reinforce their narrative, it makes perfect sense that they would do this to make him look more attractive, make him much more of a sympathetic character.
Charisma and how attractive a person is, whether we like it or not.
That's something that all human beings respond to.
If you've got a, you know, if you're, if you're some kind of weird-looking dude and look, Pretty was not a particularly, you know, attractive guy generally.
It does look like, it probably does look like a retreat to a lot of people, but I think the Trump administration is going based off of polling they saw, where the majority of people saw what was happening as like an L, right?
They saw it as a bad thing, and they're just responding to that.
So as somebody who supports like ICE going in and rounding up like horrible people and just people that just shouldn't be here, I kind of view it as a retreat.
But I mean, I don't care.
I'm glad.
I hope we go into more cities and we continue doing this.
It's like 6 million people believe you have no way of proving that or even there were candidates running for office who were openly chill with the murder of Charlie Kirk and their staffers were chill with the murder of Charlie Kirk.
That was uncovered.
Undercover journalists got all that information and all of these people were still elected into office.
So even if those Democrats were not like yay about it, they were certainly fine with it.
And I certainly know that when I've talked to, like I talked to people in my life who were uncomfortable talking about Charlie's death, even though even knowing that I knew him, you know, they were uncomfortable talking about it because they did not want to appear to acknowledge that it was bad that someone who they thought was a racist, horrible person was killed.
The people that I'm close to.
And it was kind of hard to deal with it.
So I don't know if it's necessarily the majority, but I think certainly a lot of Democrats, even in private, were perfectly comfortable with the idea that Charlie was murdered.
You need only look at the Man in the Street interviews that we've seen from a handful of people where they're literally just in Times Square being like, what do you think?
Spanberger won, even though one of her campaign aides was caught on camera talking about how everybody on the Spanberger campaign was, you know, not unhappy that Charlie Kirk was killed.
Well, you would think that there would be, at minimum, a protest, which I would think was okay.
I don't want them calling for violence or any kind of physical action on the guy.
Of course not.
But you think there would be some at least basic response where they're protesting his house or they're doing these Democrat wake-up calls or whatever.
I don't want to call it a black pill because that implies an emotion.
But I think mathematically, looking at what's going on right now, the forecast is not good for the right in this conflict.
There's a combination of a lack of ideological fervor required for conflicts like this, lack of organization, and lack of self-awareness.
The left has got a bunch of zombie zealot retards, for sure, but cannon fodder is cannon fodder.
The right relies on government.
And I was talking about this earlier that in the American Revolution, the Americans were fighting for a dream, and the British were fighting partially with mercenaries for pay.
The people who were dispatched, the regulars, the Redcoats, weren't sitting here being like, I have a dream of a great British empire that must be preserved.
They were like, these are my orders, I guess.
Certainly there were some.
There was a Declaration of Independence.
They were loyalists in the United States.
But the Americans were very much like, we are going to have our freedom.
And there's all these profound, give me liberty or give me death.
You don't need to pay someone to fight for that.
So I see these conservatives post that leftists are being paid to do this or paid to do that.
And it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what the left represents.
They represent a zealous ideological fervor.
You need no money for that.
In fact, you can simultaneously convince these people to sacrifice their own lives and pay you while they do it.
That's how much they believe in what they're doing.
So the right continues to rely on machines that have failed them.
And that is, you can't even arrest Don Lennon, a guy who committed the crime on camera because the judges ideologically oppose you.
Because Trump doesn't have the plan or the mechanism to actually deal with enforcing the law in these ways.
Yeah, I mean, it's interesting because to Tim's point, and this is something I've thought about a lot in terms of the Revolutionary War, because the Americans were willing to do whatever it took, right?
They basically were pulling guerrilla warfare.
They were fighting on Christmas.
They were doing all of these things that were not part of the rules of warfare.
And the British soldiers were like, as you said, there were the Hessians.
They were getting paid.
They were out there doing what they were told to do.
They were, you know, fighting in the way that wars were fought.
And they weren't expecting a bunch of scrappy people with no food and eating their horses and all the rest of it to come at them so hard.
And we don't have conservatives willing to do that because conservatives are trying to maintain the status quo.
One of the stories that I've unfortunately been hearing this morning is that Border Patrol agents have now been given new orders not to, for example, if they were to run a license plate and it comes back as that person is an illegal that Border Patrol was forced to let into the country under Joe Biden, they are no longer allowed to arrest that person.
You know, two days ago, I couldn't think of any other outcome than that.
I just couldn't.
In my brain, I was like, any other outcome would be bloodshed that nobody wants except for the zealot street soldiers and the activists that are foreign paid or whatever.
But this is it.
This is the only outcome I could see was that, okay, well, we tried in Minneapolis.
It ain't happened in Minneapolis.
Move on to the next city.
And maybe we'll be back in Minneapolis in two years.
You know, there's a bunch of different ways to look at it.
And I don't know that I trust a Trump admin enough to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially after the Epstein files.
But if you wanted to, you could say, Trump's looking at the big picture.
Minneapolis is a hotspot that's generating a bunch of negative attention.
And this one flashpoint risks sabotaging his net positive support right now, which CBP and immigration operations Trump is enjoying a net positive support across many polls.
He may be thinking, we've got 60 operations going on across the country.
Let's not have this one drag us down in the press.
The things where it's going off without a hitch and quietly with no press, we will press and maintain.
Let's let this one die down.
That could be the strategy.
Again, just following the Epstein stuff and what we've seen from Trump in his first term, I don't know that I can give him the benefit of the doubt in that regard.
I mean, like I said earlier, I don't know what the strategy is here.
I don't know if there is a strategy even.
I think that one of the things that I guess that I have a problem with Donald Trump about is a lot of times he just kind of is wishy-washy, depending on the polls and stuff.
And if he's getting polls that are saying that his favorability is going down too much because of this, he'll pull out.
He's not.
I mean, look, he had that nickname taco.
Trump always chickens out, you know?
And I hope that this isn't the case.
I mean, I want to see a lot more deportations, and particularly in Minnesota, where the government is clearly involved with preventing ICE from carrying out their job.
They got to do something about this, because if the federal government can't actually execute the law, you know, then other states are going to follow.
I think we need to deport a lot of the people who came in over the past four years.
I think that's really big.
We do have a secure border now.
And I think that one problem that we're going to have is if the Republicans lose in 2028, then we're going to have a situation where because Congress has not strengthened any of the immigration laws, has not done anything to secure the border past, you know, past just watching Trump do it, we could get a Democrat in there who just flings open the doors again.
So I think that a big part of the problem is not just that we're not doing enough right now.
And of course, more could always be done.
But I think a big part of the problem is that Congress is continuing to abdicate its responsibility to the White House.
And that's going to go very badly for America if the Republicans lose in 2028.
Well, but that's what Tom Holman has been saying all along is we're going to deport the worst of the worst.
We're going to deport criminal, illegal immigrants, you know?
And the way that you end up with the deportations of people who are just hanging around is in the sanctuary cities where ICE agents have to go out and they've said, if we encounter people who are here illegally, we'll arrest them too.
But they're not going after the people who don't have criminal convictions or warrants or charges or what have you.
If they don't pass the SAVE Act and figure out a way to secure elections and they don't deport enough people, then the census in 2030 is going to be a mess.
And even if Republicans win but don't do these things, right?
So say the Republicans keep the House and they keep the Senate in 2026.
And then in 2028, JD Vance wins, but they don't do anything about the illegals that are here, then the census is going to be a shit show again.
And, you know, people need to, I think many people would benefit from looking up past conflicts and current ones and take a look at what happened with the Arab Spring, especially.
Read the local reports in the history on, say, what happens to Syria, what happens to Aleppo.
Look at these photos of how beautiful Aleppo was.
And then after the Civil War, it's just rubble.
It's just wiped out.
So, you know, a lot of people commenting saying things like, try that in my town.
And let's say there is a real conflict that breaks out, like an actual civil war.
Will your small town be able to secure its points of, you know, its trade routes, its bridges, its waterways?
And where does your water come from?
So right now, a question for most of you is, where does your water come from?
I assume most conservatives can answer that question.
However, if you're suburban or urban and you're right-leaning, you probably don't know.
For most conservatives, actually quite easy.
You're well.
You probably got a well on your property.
Most people live in rural areas have wells.
Then the question is, is your groundwater secure and free from possible sabotage or contamination?
For rural areas where you're actively involved in conflict, I don't suspect that it's effective for any kind of left-wing group to go and try and sabotage 50 different wells.
But if you're in a suburb, they often have like water reclamation facilities and closed aquifers.
And like outside the Chicago area, there are these areas where they collect rainwater and there's areas, they have reservoirs and they block them off because they can be easily contaminated.
And so it actually happens quite a bit where kids are goofing off and then the police are like, stop, get away from there because it could be bad for the water supply.
Batman style, right?
When he was going to put the fear toxin in the water for everybody.
But the question is, can you defend where you are, but more importantly, do you have access to resources?
The benefit for conservatives is that they tend to have animals in rural areas.
You're going to have animals.
You can have access to drunk water.
Be more self-sufficient, but you're further away from everybody.
So it's easier to get isolated by a small group of insurgents.
And I just think take a look in those considerations, especially in suburbs.
A lot of suburbs tend to be, you know, somewhat right-leaning or at least a little bit more conservative, but still dependent on city infrastructure, which can be easily sabotaged.
Watch these videos from people who have, you know, I did a reaction video to one of these on the Tim Pool show channel.
There's a guy who's like, China's supposed to have over a billion people, yet all their city centers are empty.
Stores are closing.
The malls are empty.
They're lying about their population.
And I was like, I don't know.
Or 300 million people died.
They locked them in, or locked them in their houses.
Where we're at in West Virginia, we've been there for several years.
Since COVID, none of the businesses have recovered.
And so the question is, how?
How have they not recovered?
I mean, at least by now, we need food for people.
No, they're continually collapsing and they can't find employees to work jobs.
And so there's a bunch of arguments as to why it seems that people are gone.
One example I gave is on the 4th of July.
I think it was last year.
We went to Chicago and I drove through my neighborhood and there was nobody.
When I was a kid growing up on the south side of Chicago, every block, you'd walk down the block, look to your left, kids launching fireworks.
You'd walk to the next block, fireworks.
You go to Venom Park.
They're playing baseball.
There's folding chairs everywhere.
People are grilling.
Everyone's partying.
Explosions in the distance.
The next day, July 5th, we'd go walking down every street, picking up all the free fireworks left behind.
Last year I went, weeds growing in the baseball fields, soccer nets put up in the middle of them so you can't even play baseball anyway.
Nobody was playing soccer.
And I was asking my buddies, where is everybody?
And they're like, nobody goes outside anymore.
And I was like, no, no, no, hold on.
You can't just say they're on the internet because internet numbers have also gone down post-COVID.
During COVID, viewership was high.
It has normalized.
So we're simultaneously seeing no one going outside and we're not seeing the internet numbers where you'd expect them to be if people were just inside of the internet.
And so there's another element of this is that people didn't have kids.
So there are no kids to go outside and play.
And I think that a potential component as to why it's not just the U.S. where people are reporting, it seems like towns are empty.
And there's a bunch of new ghost towns forming.
Universities collapsing.
I think it may actually be that the initial predictions on COVID were true and they're just not, they don't want people to know.
I think the problem with gambling expansion is that like the ubiquity breeds addiction.
But I also am not someone who thinks we should ban things based on someone else's addictions.
Otherwise, we'd be banning alcohol too.
I think a lot of conservatives are very moralistic and like gambling is bad.
You should never allow it.
And I'm like, well, a guy who gets off work and goes to the sports book with his buddies and puts 50 bucks down on his Super Bowl or something just to have a good time.
And that's all he does.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
He's trying to get a little excitement on Friday night with the boys.
He's been occupied with work and he wants to, you know, he wants to feel that rush when he sees it coming in and he's bent on his money line.
She mortgaged her house without her husband knowing and then took the money to a casino, lost it all in like a half an hour and then started having panic attacks.
I've heard stories about a guy who did the same thing and You see it all the time, man.
You go to these casinos and you wonder how it is.
I tell you, I wonder how it is.
I watch a guy at a craps table with 10 grand just playing craps.
And I'm like, what does this guy do?
Actually, I'll tell you a funny story.
We were at Hard Rock in Tampa this past weekend, me and my boy Robbie.
Shout out to Robbie Mann.
And we were in the high limit area.
And I was talking with one of the servers.
And she had brought a drink to Robbie.
And so we gave her a tip.
And she's like, oh, thank you.
And it was a good tip.
And then she was surprised by it, which I didn't think was actually that big of a tip.
And I asked her, I was like, do people in the high limit like not tip you?
And she's like, well, you'd be surprised.
And I was like, I guess not, because the perception is either they're rich snoots that don't actually want to give any money away and that's why they're rich.
That's actually not true.
The reality is the people who are playing in there are pretending to be rich.
I was playing some poker and a guy sat down and it's one of the funniest experiences.
I love this stuff, man.
And he's throwing money around like a lunatic.
It's low stakes.
It's a $500 buy-in and that's low stakes.
And he makes a dumb bet, loses, and then he goes, you think I care?
And then he pulls out a wad of cash.
He's like, I got $10,000 right here.
And everyone goes, whoa.
And then I was like, wow, man.
And he goes, he's like, yeah, this money doesn't mean anything.
And he throws more bills on the table.
And he's like, buy me back in.
And then he kept doing that.
And then I was like, if you don't mind me asking, like, what do you do for a living?
And he goes, I'm an engineer.
I make $600,000 a year.
And it's like, okay, you know, you got money to spend, but $600,000 a year.
I mean, so he's, if it taxes, maybe he's doing $30K a month take home.
He's living in DC, which can be moderately expensive, but he might have like $15,000 disposable income every month to go and throw around three, four grand at a poker table.
But you can't do that every day.
You can't do that every weekend.
It's something where this guy probably shows up once every other month to dump three grand and pretend that he's ultra wealthy.
Super rich people.
The story is that Bill Gates walked into a casino, put $20 on blackjack, lost, and went, I'm done, and walked out.
Like he didn't need to play.
So anyway, the point is, I find that you go to these casinos, most people don't have the money to play at these levels, and it's insane that they do.
So like there's a game.
Are you familiar at all with casino games or anything like that?
But if you are someone who's smart, this is going to be really weird.
So the people who watch Timcast IRL can probably become millionaires off of any prediction market.
If you watch this show every single night, I'll put it like this.
If you watch every video I make, you are going to be on the forefront of what is happening in news.
You'd then go to a prediction market.
And if they're saying something like, will Donald Trump do a backflip or whatever?
And you can be like, wait a minute.
I was just, it says 60% yes.
I literally just watched Tim Poole show a statement from Trump saying tomorrow at 9 a.m. I'll do a backflip.
I'm buying yes.
And then Trump does it because you're paying attention to the news.
I talked about this with stock trading.
Like if I hired someone to trade stock based on the news reports we covered, I'd be a billionaire right now.
Because like, so for example, when Elon was buying X and the Tesla stock collapsed, I'm like, that makes no sense.
Tesla's doing great.
The media, people are just selling the stocks are scared about Elon making a risky venture on X.
So I bought a ton of Tesla stock.
Paid out handsomely.
So these prediction markets, I think we're going to find is there's right now, I guarantee you, we're on the verge of seeing a ton of Gen Z influencers who literally just can understand what's likely to occur and they bet on it and they win.
And there's going to be jobs rooted in, and the AI is going to track it, predictions.
Human networks that predict things, the AI then puts that in its machine.
Yeah, I was going to say, wouldn't it just be easier to just defeat all these videos and like all this into AI and have the AI like make bets based off of what's going on?
You know what I think I don't like about gambling because I do kind of like gambling.
It's fun is online gambling.
The accessibility to it, like, because they could easily someone could develop an app where it's just a big red button and every time you press it, there's a 49% chance you double it and a 51% chance that it goes to zero.
There are these prominent gambling influencers where you only ever see their big wins.
And the perception created, and the casinos love it, is that you can be a winner too.
But these slots, these machines, they don't work this way.
It's funny, I watch these videos where some guy's like, I'm going to be betting $2,000 a spin.
And then they hit the million dollar win.
And it's like, yeah, that doesn't happen.
So there's one theory that it's all rigged and fake.
One theory is that what will happen is an influencer will go to the casino and say, I want to make a video where I play baccarat and win a bunch of money or lose a bunch of money.
They'll hand the chips to you.
You'll film the hand, win, they'll give you the chips.
You go, yeah, I won.
Camera's off.
Here your chips back.
So you never actually had the money.
Or you lose, never actually had the money.
Or they point you to machines that they have set to win better.
The argument is that typically they say slot machines are all regulated.
They have to pay out based on RNG.
No one believes that.
No one.
That makes no sense because the argument would then be a casino would buy a slot machine and then at the moment they put it in, you hit a button and win a million dollars.
Well, how is the casino going to pay out that million dollars if they just got the machine in there?
So the assumption people make is the machine has to take in a certain amount of money before it can pay out.
Now, the legitimate argument is no, the casinos have to have a cash reserve for the potential for any payout before offering up any wagering.
Makes sense, right?
Talk to any slot manager or slot dealer, and they tell me the same thing every time.
The new machines never pay out.
It takes a few months before the people hit jackpots.
Same thing every time.
I was at, we were at Tampa on the high limit slots, this guy, he puts in five grand and he's like, I'm going to show you guys something.
And he puts in five grand to a Huff and Puff and he just he hits it.
10 minutes later, all gone.
His money was gone.
And Undy goes, he says, you got to play this machine right now.
So I sit down, I put in $100, I hit the button twice, $10 spins, I won $2,200.
Because the assumption people have is the machines are programmed to take in a certain amount before they can pay out a lesser amount.
Now, we're told by the gaming commissions and everybody, that's not correct.
It doesn't work that way, but it certainly seems to appear that way to literally everybody who gambles.
So there's also, like we talked about in Mississippi, a lot of casinos don't, very rarely do you see hand shuffle for table games.
In Vegas, it was the way they dealt it was they have a shuffle master shuffles the deck, pulls it out, then they cut the deck.
However, for a lot of these games, the machine will auto shuffle and the machine knows exactly how many players are at the table.
So it'll spit out the first hand, he'll hand it to you.
It'll spit out second hand, he'll hand it to you.
And then it'll spit out the third hand, he'll hand it to you.
It'll spit out the fourth hand, and it'll press the button, and it'll spit the whole deck out.
That tells the machine three players.
The presumption people have, again, maybe it's a conspiracy, is that I put the argument like this.
If it is legal for a slot machine to pay out only at 90%, meaning they can control the outcome, it's not random, why would it not be legal for shuffle machines to rig the shuffling of the decks to guarantee they only pay out at 90%?
Every state has a different number based on their gaming commission.
Vegas is considered to be the best.
They have machines that are on a 99% payout.
That means for every $100 that goes in, 99 goes out.
You're hoping to be that person who puts in the dollar and wins the 99, right?
And that's the norm for slot machines.
The argument for games like Blackjack, when there's a big auto shuffler, but they cut that.
It's a lot harder.
And Blackjack's probably one of the safest games.
But for games like Ultimate Hold'em, four-card poker, where a machine deals the hands out, it would be really easy for the machine, knowing how many players are at the table because of how many hands go out, to routinely determine the proper shuffling of a deck to make sure the casino wins or only pays out 10% of the money that comes in.
So the way it works is the next hand is already shuffled when this hand is being played.
The deck goes in, it eats the machine, and then it spits out the next cards.
So it's already pre-loaded.
The other thing to understand is that random doesn't exist in computer code.
There are ways to simulate it using static, for instance, but it's typically an algorithm to simulate RNG, which means, to be fair, it's not really random when a machine shuffles a deck, but they're probably using hash codes that generate 15 billion potential shuffle orders.
Share the show with every person you've met in your life.
You can follow me on X and Instagram and Tim Cast, all that good stuff.
Let's see what you guys have going on in these chats.
Shane H. Wilder says, as a Texan trying to get home on a delayed flight from D.C., I want to remind all Texans that congressional special general runoff elections are this Saturday.
Oh, Midwest says, with the overwhelming evidence coming out of Minnesota with SignalGate, what was the point of designating Antifa a terrorist organization, especially to the degree of how they're operating, they're not being black.
What is it?
They're trying not to be black belt.
I think Trump surrendered.
I think Trump is largely like, look, just don't put me in prison.
The idea that you could ever appease the left at this point is ridiculous, though.
And I hope there's someone around him that's like, look, you need to do what you're going to do, and you need to take the idea of appeasing the left and them actually just letting you live out your life afterwards and throw that idea out because they're not going to.
They are absolutely not going to.
I mean, there are people that are talking, like, there's a guy that's talking about, you know, throwing him in jail and making sure that he gets killed for what?
Nobody knows.
But, you know, that's right.
You know, but he's sure he's going to do it.
The days of amicable politics are gone.
And the right needs to realize that because the left is absolutely aware of it.
And they're going to start, they're going to be looking to put people in jail when this administration's out.
And these people are like, I was cracking up this girl went to Syria to open up a coffee shop where Syrians could be whatever they want.
They can have freedom and all this stuff.
She goes to Syria.
She uses her entire life savings to open up this coffee shop.
She gets lawyers to sign on a contract for a place to rent and like furniture and everything.
And it went great for like, I think like a week.
And then she comes to find out that everything was fake.
Everything was fraudulent.
She got completely ripped off.
She ended up getting arrested because the police colluded with the other people and she spent some time in jail.
Like she lost her entire life savings because she didn't realize like this Syrian culture was like very like there's a lot of fraud that goes on or she lost everything.
But there's all these like American women who are like, oh, I'm going to move to some faraway place.
And they get there and then they start sending videos home.
Like there was this, I think it was a black woman moved to some country in Africa and she was all very excited about it.
And she was like, no, don't do this.
Don't do this.
I'm American and now I'm stuck here.
I can't get home.
And this is not my culture.
You know, America is my culture.
I think that I think we do have a false perception.
And I think this is part of the problem with open borders and with mass migration is that we assume that people who come here are going to share our same values and we don't realize that we are basically just fish who don't know what water is because we're swimming in it.
Oh, no, no, the jungle was by far the most dangerous.
The jungle is like your pocket will get picked if you turn your back.
Dude would swim out into the river where people are canoeing with a machete and board their canoe and like you take them, you know, would you open your borders to those types of people?
I think that the fighting will be done by actual fighters, but I would argue that people like me are substantially better strategists than most of the Libtards.
So, you know, it depends.
It really depends.
I'm absolutely certain.
I'm absolutely certain.
Nay, I am so confident that when all order breaks down and people are fighting in the streets, the people are going to beg for some dude to sit in a room and complain about stuff to them.
They're going to say, listen, I'm starving to death.
I'm thirsty, but I really just want to hear you complain.
It would be nice if you could actually tailor your algorithm.
Remember how everybody was talking for a while, like, oh, we're going to make the algorithm public and you can tailor it for yourself and you can see what it is.
Well, there was a theory going back to, I think, what somebody else is saying, like, that's why you're going to start seeing AI becoming so indistinguishable that people are just going to check out.
Well, you've seen that with like the Marvel movies and like that.
You're seeing like, I think, and I don't really know for sure, but like viewership go down because it's all like fake.
Like we, my, my wife likes like dinosaurs.
So she we go to see the Jurassic Park and she hated the most recent one because they looked so fake and they're not using what they used to in the original Jurassic Parks where they build like a dinosaur from scratch.
Well, there was AI generated and it actually looks worse.
There was this interesting thing, you know, the Pendragon cycle, the new Daily Wire series.
So I watched the first couple episodes with my son, and there's a sequence where, and this is based on ancient Minoan sport where people would do, and it wasn't bull fighting, it was bull jumping, and you would jump bulls like while they're charging at you.
They would be charging at you and you would like go flip over the bulls.
I know that that's kind of like a trope nowadays, but like when you get people in that like their whole goal is to deconstruct the property or to they're trying to surprise the viewer or they have an agenda that they're trying to push or whatever, or they want to make you feel uncomfortable because they think that their job is to make you feel uncomfortable in the movie theater.
Yeah, I mean, as much as I'm not, like, I'm not trying to say that women can't write or diverse people can't write, but when you get diverted, when you're specifically looking for diverse people, they tend to come with certain attitudes or certain educations oftentimes.
And they're looking at, they want to get in and disrupt the system and blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, look, man, people just want to go and watch Maverick get in a jet and shoot down the bad guys.
You look at how great Top Gun Maverick did, and it's like, there's barely even a story there.
It's just rah-rah, USA.
Look at the cool jets, and they're shooting down bad guys.
Well, this was something I was talking to Michael Knowles about this on my new podcast.
Everyone go subscribe to it, The Pod Millennial.
Anyway, I was talking to Michael Knowles about this because we were talking about One Battle After Another, which is basically an anti-foot propagandist film with Leonardo DiCaprio in it.
And it basically just encourages people to go park their minivan in the middle of the road and block ice.
And this is the kind of thing that you lose your job.
This is kind of stuff that they're pushing.
This is what they're pushing on us.
They're pushing messaging and propaganda, and they're not interested in telling us just good stories.
And this is something that happened in grad school.
Like when I started grad school, which I was studying playwriting.
So that was the whole point.
My professor at the beginning, my like main professor, said when we started the program, he was like, the most important thing about plays is the psychological component.
We were talking about Ibsen and Chekhov and that kind of stuff.
And he was like, that's the most important part.
And by the time I finished the program, like three years later, he said the most important part of plays were the political aspects.
And I was like, that's the opposite of what we started with.
Now you're telling, look, we started with relationships and motivations and story and character-driven drama.
And now we're talking propaganda.
It's a totally different type of thing.
And the concept of what an artist was went from someone who is honest and, you know, telling real stories about real people or, you know, telling truthful stories.
It changed from that to someone who has to be an art activist.
And the idea became that you have to be an art activist.
And I was in a workshop at the actor's studio at one point, and there was this story.
Someone did their reading from their play, and there was a guy in it who had this girlfriend, and he was like, you know, an asshole to his girlfriend.
And one of the people who was doing the critique in the audience was like, well, I really think that that's the wrong message to send, that people should be assholes to their girlfriend.
And I was like, but he is an asshole to his girlfriend.
The villains are either one-dimensional or they try and make the villain sympathetic.
I think a really good example of what's going on is if you take a look at Daily Show 2005, and everybody loved it.
And then you take a look at what happened after Jon Stewart left when you got John Oliver and Jordan Klepper and Samantha Beale, formulaic cookie-cutter retardation because these people did not have the talent that Jon Stewart had.
So they basically said, Here's the formula for John, repeat it.
And John Oliver gives you the most contrived, boring shit every single day.
It's the same exact thing.
Movies are the same way.
They go, what if like the villain was kind of sad?
Ryan Johnson had been saying over and over again, like stuff about letting go of the past.
In the movie they tell you to, what I think happened was they got J.J. Abrams to do The Force Awakens, and J.J. Abrams said, just make a shot-for-shot remake of A New Hope, which is literally what it is.
From the Mary Poppins Princess Leia to the arcing plasma balls in outer space to Luke being a whiny bitch drinking a space cow tit and then dying from using the force and then killing Snoke.
So in the original Warcraft the Orcs were mindless monsters yeah, and Warcraft 1 you could play either.
Warcraft 2 is when they started to change it and they were like, actually the Orcs were dominated by fell demonic energy and manipulated and seduced, and the orcs were actually shamanic, like they were not evil.
They did this because they they they wanted to create two distinct arcs and basically what it is is Warcraft has.
I mean, it's convoluted now, but the general idea at the time was the Horde isn't inherently evil, the alliance isn't inherently good or evil, but the invasion of the Orcs was because of an actual evil faction.
So basically, there is evil in World Of Warcraft.
A definitive evil does evil things.
There's a bunch of it, but the Orcs were subjugated, not the evil itself.
And Holly Hunter is the worst commander person ever.
She walks around the starship without shoes on.
Without shoes she like lounges around, she meets with people and lays down on couches.
She has foot jewelry on her and she also.
She quit Starfleet and then they brought her back in 120 Later, years later, after she was, what is it, cryogenically frozen or something like that for the whole time.
And so what happens is the Federation is getting crushed.
And they go to the Romulans, who are their enemies, and they say, at this point, I think they have a truce.
And they say to the senator, you need to join the war on the side of the Federation because after we lose, the Dominion will subjugate Romulus and the Romulans.
So what happens is they plan a false flag attack to assassinate the Romulan senator, framing the Dominion, to force the Romulans to enter the war on their side.
And so what happened was the Enterprise, I think it was Enterprise C, receives a distress call from a Klingon colony.
It's largely women and children.
It's a civilian outpost.
And it's being attacked by Romulans.
Despite the fact that Klingons and the Federation are at war, the Enterprise rushes full speed to try and save as many Klingon civilians as possible, being destroyed in the process.
The Enterprise, they're killed.
And because of this sacrifice, the Klingons enter into an alliance with the Federation, recognizing the honor that the Federation was willing to make to save their own enemies because killing children was wrong.
And Worf was orphaned in the attack, and it's how he goes to be raised by the Federation.
But brilliant writing.
They were like, the Federation proved their honor and self-sacrifice for civilians of the enemy because killing civilians was dishonorable.
And the Romulans were opportunistic.
I remember watching this being like, wow.
Like, how these bonds are formed.
And then you get this whole conspiracy arc where Worf's dad is framed as a spy for the Romulans and it helps.
Turns out it wasn't the case.
And then the government in Kronos is basically like the people can't know the truth about who was really responsible for this because it would be destabilizing.
Fucking amazing show.
Now it's a bunch of fat, gay weirdo aliens talking about how actually they were evil the whole time.
Can I just say there's a Klingon character in Starfleet Academy who the actor, when he's talking about the role that he plays, is like, oh, we're reframing what a warrior is.
Yeah, it's not the next generation, but Seth McFarlane is trying.
And for instance, like the last episode, I think the show's canceled, but the last episode, there's a planet they've been to where it's very much like Earth in the 21st century.
And a refugee from that planet tries stealing technology.
And they're explaining to her why advanced civilizations can't give technology to underdeveloped civilizations.
So it's yeah, they basically explaining why there's a prime directive.
And not nearly as good and a little, it's still liberal.
So like, for instance, they find a planet that one episode where there's a planet disappears.
And they're like, whoa, where'd it go?
And then it reappears.
Every time it disappears, it exists for 500 years in another dimension.
And so what happens is Kelly, second in command, goes down.
And when they're exploring this planet, she finds a child who's hurt and uses one of their medical devices to heal the wound on her hand before leaving.
The planet blinks out of existence and then blinks back.
And now there's a whole religion dedicated to her because she has the ability to heal by touch.
And then she tries to explain to them, and there's priests and they're worshiping her and they have statues of her.
And then eventually, you know, you should watch.
So we should go to callers instead of just talking about Star Trek.
Dr. Pants, which is your favorite episode of Star Trek The Next Generation?
Hello again, panel.
It's your favorite and very best president ever in history taking a break from my 32d chest to call in.
And unfortunately, I don't have a favorite Star Trek episode.
If President Trump is pulling out of Minnesota and capitulating to the left, is the best we on the right can hope for a further bifurcation of states into eventual succession or secession?
Like if there's no fighting back, if there's no resistance, then it's just, well, I'll put it this way: I, for one, welcome our new transsexual overlords.
When I asked Eric Prince about everything that he had seen in these countries he's operated in the United States, if there's any similarities, he just said, the one thing I can tell you is that everything seems normal.
And then one day you wake up and there's no communications, no electricity, and no internet.
So sounds terrible.
There's optimism, bias, and normalcy bias, and everyone's got it because it hasn't happened.
It's not a part of their routine.
They don't believe it's possible.
But every single time you have seen revolution, factionalizing or whatever, it was overnight.
And nobody thought it possible.
And I said it before.
I'm going to say it again.
Two years of fighting until the people said we're in a civil war.
It was two years.
Abraham Lincoln literally sent troops in to shoot Confederates.
And people, this is after Manassas.
And they're like, it's not a civil war.
It was two years after the fighting had already started at Sumter where they were like, it's a civil war now.
I do think one of the things that's absolutely insane, and I was writing about this in Human Events a couple of weeks ago or at some point that was recent because I've lost track of time.
But I was writing about something you've talked about a lot, which is like, is Minnesota bleeding Kansas?
Is that what we're looking at?
And when you have state leaders openly and intentionally defying federal law, and there is not, I mean, I see that there's been pushback in terms of no, we're going to conduct federal law, we're still going to enforce federal law, but there hasn't been anything against the leaders who are openly defying federal law and encouraging their citizens to defy it as well.
And that is something that is, it is seriously crazy.
And it makes me wonder if, like you're talking about, we just lack the imagination to see how far we have fallen and how close we are to potential collapse.
And so the American Civil War was not a civil war in the traditional sense.
We just call it that because we have nothing better to call it.
But typically throughout history, civil wars have been multiple factions fighting for control of one territory, one government.
And it's not like the Spanish Civil War, for instance, is pockets of nationalist and Republican, and they're fighting each other for control of this land called Spain.
The Confederacy was several states breaking away saying, we're just not going to be a part of your union anymore.
And it was interesting because before it was, you know, when the War of Independence started, it was 1755, and it didn't end until around, I think it was, what, 1789?
Yeah.
Was it 89?
So there was no country.
There was no president.
There was no constant.
There were loose articles.
I think it was the Confederation.
And then in 89, they were like, okay, let's actually do a constitution and unite these 13 colonies as one country.
So anyway, long story short, the way the Confederacy saw it was it was 80 years.
There were people alive that had been born at the time of independence.
And so they're basically just like, look, nothing keeps us here.
We can leave if we want to.
And Lincoln was like, I'll be damned if the union breaks on my watch.
And so he went down to go fight them.
And they did not think a civil war happened for two years.
Like, it's remarkable that Lincoln was like, I'm going to arrest politicians, threaten to arrest a Supreme Court justice.
I'm going to arrest journalists.
I'm going to, there's no more habeas corpus from Philly to D.C.
The state governments of these southern states are now void.
All the slaves are, your ownership is now void.
And they were like, it's not a civil war.
And till two years later, they were like, the civil war.
They were calling it like a rebellion.
They were calling it, the South was calling it a war of northern aggression because they viewed themselves already as an independent nation with their own government, president, and currency.
And today, we suffer from optimism and normalcy bias where people genuinely believe that despite the fact we track alongside what every other country ever has, and that it's always ever been just an overnight change, they believe it's not possible.
So the issue is that nothing ever happens is a symptom of history books.
Because when Americans read history, they'll read a paragraph where it says, the founding fathers held several meetings, the Continental Congress, and came together and ultimately voted for independence.
The king responded by, no, no, no, no, hold on.
That was 20 years, a 20-year period.
But Americans read it in a paragraph.
So they're sitting here being like, nothing ever happens.
Because like the American Revolution is the shot heard around the world.
And then the founding fathers say, give me liberty or give me death.
And then they come to have a meeting and say, we're going to sign a Declaration of Independence.
And then the king reacts, slow down there.
The shot heard around the world was in 1755.
They didn't sign the Declaration for a year, until a year later.
The war had been going on for some time.
The shot heard around the world was just the moment where they said, I think we're at war.
What they're going to say is in 2024, an assassination attempt was made on the life of Donald Trump, which boosted him in the polls, ultimately resulting in a victory in November of that year.
Activist groups had been organizing in response, viewing Trump as a fascistic takeover.
By August of that year, one of the most notable proselytizers and campaigners for Donald Trump and the right, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated.
This led to, and you're going to be like, whoa, hold, hold on.
The history books are going to write it in one paragraph in four sentences, what took us a year to experience.
So if you actually stop and track every Timcast IRL video going back, you'd be like, holy fuck, 20 years of history happening in one year before our eyes, yet people are still convinced nothing's happened.
We just learned, and I think we knew this, but we just officially confirmed the state government of Minnesota has a paramilitary insurgent organization that has people who go on duty that call themselves resistance and they're on shifts.
They have access to government infrastructure and databases and they have a spy network at a variety of businesses throughout Minnesota to assist in rejecting the sworn duly elected government of the United States.
And then they call out the National Guard and they have the National Guard go out and distribute donuts and coffee to the people who are resources to the insurgents.
Was it, was it, where was it where there was like a mass shooting going on and people were like partying in the park and like people were ziplining and like there was some bad mass shooting?
Well, the thing right now too is like if you think about, and we don't get a lot of news out of Myanmar, but there's been a lot going on in Myanmar, right?
There's been like a lot of fighting and stuff like that.
And so the government just threw a bunch of big concerts and parties and everybody went to them.
But they're still like in massive tumult there.
But still the government was like, oh, let's have a party anyway.
I think that is something that's interesting.
And when you look at the Civil War and when you look at, you know, look at the Crusades.
The Crusades certainly didn't affect everybody, but it affected a lot of people who went to war and fought in those wars.
No one in New York was affected during the Civil War.
They didn't see any conflict.
Their industry largely remained untouched.
They weren't dealing with sabotage or, I mean, prices probably went up and they read the news and they said, nothing ever happens.
They didn't call it a civil war for two years, but we call Fort Sumter the happening.
The issue is that historical events rarely affect the mass fabric and mountains are moved by small groups of people.
So if we're going to look at history and ask when has something happened, well, we can certainly see tons of instances where things happened, but regular people were unmoved by it.
The people of Illinois were largely unmoved by the Civil War.
It was honestly, the areas affected by the Civil War largely were with the March to the Sea.
You've got Georgia, and then you've got Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and South PA.
Maryland affected politically a bit.
Delaware, not so much.
So the people in New York and the people in Texas, nothing happened.
This means that institutional investors a long time ago made a move to hedge against the dollar's collapse, probably when Saudi Arabia got off the petrodollar contract.
The retail market is now reacting late to the game as we expect it to.
And this is an indication of this is going to affect you.
Now, have you ever seen the video of the tsunami in Thailand where the people are standing on the beach just going, wow.
See, I emptied mine out because Cinemark had a bring your own size to fill up popcorn bucket.
And so I emptied out our bucket of emergency prep food and I went to Cinemark and I got this huge tub of popcorn.
I was still eating it.
But like, that was me.
Like, I was monitoring the situation all the time.
And my wife at the time thought I was fucking crazy.
She's like, you went out and you bought ammo and guns and prep food.
You bought a door reinforced and reinforcement bar for the door.
And then like when shit went bad, she, I actually really appreciate this, like a core memory for my wife, like approached me one night and she's like, I just want to let you know, like, I feel really bad for giving you a hard time.
And now sort of my normal practice is like, if you come over to my house, there are no less than 20 boxes of pasta in my, in my, oh, and I bought a ton of flour.
We do got to get to other callers, but one question we've asked in the show a while ago is, what is an item that is common that you would, that is extremely useful and very, very difficult to produce on your own?
They said the goal is to have a one-world currency, a one-world reserve that can be controlled, tracked, traced.
We can see what everyone's doing and why they're doing it.
And crypto is that plan.
Bitcoin is going to be it.
It's going to be huge.
Buy Bitcoin now.
And so I was like, well, I got a bunch already.
And so what I think is happening is there's a lot of things going on.
It's hard to see the big picture.
There's little pieces everywhere.
However, if you wanted a one-world currency, what would you do?
You'd introduce the secret cyber, cyberpunk alternative.
Get away from the Federal Reserve.
These evil people.
They can't control us.
We're going to all use Bitcoin, which can be tracked by every AI system and they'll know what you do every time you do it, when you do it, and where you are at all times.
I want all my currency tracked in the public, unhidable.
And it's really simple.
You get the whack-a-loon anti-government people to adopt it first, which they did.
And then it becomes the anti-establishment coin, challenges the big banks.
