|---|---|---|
| So there's a man outside the RNC with an AK-47 pistol. | ||
| He gets arrested. | ||
| We don't know exactly what this is, why this guy was there. | ||
| He was wearing a ski mask, he had a scream mask, and, uh, hmm. | ||
| Maybe it's something, maybe it's nothing. | ||
| The reason why I think this story is interesting and worth talking about is that after what happened on Saturday with Donald Trump and the attempted assassination, many people are asking if this will happen again. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know that a crazy guy outside the RNC in Milwaukee with an AK pistol is really all that big of a deal. | ||
| He got arrested. | ||
| We'll see what the story turns into. | ||
| There was also a knife fight not too far outside the RNC, but that was just locals apparently getting in a knife fight, which... | ||
| Happens in Milwaukee, I guess. | ||
| So we'll discuss that, of course. | ||
| The big news is still tracking the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, how this happened. | ||
| There will be testimony. | ||
| There will be investigations. | ||
| And this is official reporting. | ||
| We're hearing that Homeland Security may be investigating this. | ||
| But we're hearing a lot of conflicting information. | ||
| And the latest update. | ||
| Following the assassination, with the timeline of events released in a video from Milk Bar TV on X, we saw that from the moment people screamed, he's on the roof, he's got a gun, it was about two minutes, it was two minutes and one second, from that point to when bullets were fired and a bullet struck the frontrunner for the presidency, Donald Trump. | ||
| Two minutes! | ||
| Well, that was shocking. | ||
| Then we found out actually, 26 minutes prior, police had actually confronted the man. | ||
| They've actually, I should say, they saw him, they took pictures of him, and then one officer confronted him on the roof but backed away. | ||
| Three officers had seen this guy. | ||
| We now have reporting that it was actually over an hour before, one full hour, they spotted the man suspicious with a rangefinder. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They ignored it. | |
| Dan Bongino made a great point. | ||
| He was like, oh, hold on. | ||
| An hour before Trump wasn't even on stage. | ||
| You just keep Trump in the holding room until you secure the threat. | ||
| Joe Biden's late for speeches all the time. | ||
| It's not just that. | ||
| Trump is late for speeches all the time. | ||
| So none of this makes any sense. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| Plus, we got a bunch of other stories for you this morning on the special RNC Milwaukee Day 3 livestream. | ||
| CNN is now projecting at this moment Donald Trump is at 330 electoral votes based on polling. | ||
| And we've not yet seen the full ramifications of the Trump assassination attempt on polling, which will be absolutely fascinating. | ||
| We've then got the big debate erupting with even Elon Musk chiming in. | ||
| We must not cancel those who are advocating for, calling for, murder, death, and destruction in the end of Western civilization. | ||
| I oppose cancel culture, but I will not allow these people to redefine what cancel culture is. | ||
| Cancel culture was when the executive at Netflix was explaining what racial slurs were and got fired for it. | ||
| Cancel culture is when a race car driver lost a sponsor because someone found out his dad said a racial slur in the 80s, or Sarah Silverman getting fired from a movie because 10 years prior she did blackface. | ||
| Cancel culture was never, never. | ||
| Hey, if you go and advocate for murder and call for more, we will hold you accountable in some fashion or you may lose your job. | ||
| But now we're getting classical liberals and leftists playing this game of moral equivalency. | ||
| And I'm gonna break this one down because this is the perfect game for them, and they win because of spineless liberals who don't understand a modicum of moral philosophy. | ||
| And I gotta be honest, like, that's what's really got my fire lit this morning. | ||
| This idea that these people are posting where they're saying things like, now that we have the power to cancel, we must not. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, yeah, let me stop you right there for a second. | ||
| What I oppose is someone saying learn to code on X getting censored. | ||
| What I oppose is someone citing FBI crime stats getting censored. | ||
| I, quite honestly, don't have a big problem with someone going out in public saying, next time, we want this to happen. | ||
| Which is a direct call for violence. | ||
| They're not saying- Some people have said, I wish- I wish thing happened. | ||
| Yeah, okay, that's the line, man. | ||
| And if you get fired for it, I ain't defending you. | ||
| But there are people who are losing their jobs because they're saying, next time. | ||
| And that's an important distinction. | ||
| Kyle Gass of Tenacious D, I have accepted his apology, and many conservatives didn't. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| He said, next time don't miss Trump. | ||
| Next time implies you are telling them to do it again. | ||
| You want to see it happen again, and you want it to succeed. | ||
| That is an advocacy. | ||
| That is calls for murder and violence. | ||
| Now, I go a little bit further. | ||
| I think we shouldn't tolerate people who want to see the destruction of Western civilization, and we shouldn't give stones to people who are throwing stones at us. | ||
| That's just, I don't know, logic. | ||
| Well, we'll break this one down because the story then lends itself to Destiny, the omni-liberal who has now been banned from Kick, the streaming platform, for hate speech. | ||
| We'll talk about what hate speech is and advocacy and where I draw the line. | ||
| And I find it absolutely laughable and absurd that you have classical liberals and traditional liberals on X saying that it is wrong for us to set standards for don't advocate murder. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The idea that society has no moral standards would be an absurdity. | ||
| And it is because of these people we see the atrocious behavior on the streets of San Francisco where two men engage in adult activities. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| We have a moral line. | ||
| It's just that our moral line is forgiving, logical, and reasonable when pertaining to good faith. | ||
| But these people are not acting in good faith. | ||
| They have been lying the whole time and I'm really excited to break that one down. | ||

| But let's talk about this first story real quick. | ||
| This is from the Postmillennial, breaking. | ||
| Suspicious gun-toting man in mask arrested in Milwaukee just blocks from RNC convention authorities reveal. | ||
| I will pause and I will just say, I don't know this is anything, and I don't think we should get our underwear in a bundle over this. | ||
| I think it's good the police are taking the actions they're taking. | ||
| I think security has been atrocious at the RNC, which we can talk about, which everybody knows, everybody has been posting about, and should be addressed, considering what just happened with Donald Trump on Saturday. | ||
| But there are concerns about stories like this, particularly because, well, people are concerned that someone may make another move on Donald Trump. | ||
| And all that is required is for Secret Service to, hmm, Not post anybody on a building, ignore a guy for an hour, and then not pull Trump from... I just gotta say, man. | ||
| You know, Dan Bongino's got a statement, we'll get to in that segment, where he's talking about... Well, I think he's taking a light approach, I'll put it that way. | ||
| That there's some criminal negligence. | ||
| Apparently the Secret Service is saying that the roof was sloped, so we couldn't put agents up there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-mm. | |
| I don't buy it. | ||
| Not for one second. | ||
| We are well past that world, but we'll get into that. | ||
| Here's the story. | ||
| On Monday, a 21-year-old man was arrested just blocks from the FISERV Forum, the building where the Republican National Convention is ongoing, and was found with a weapon and ammunition on him. | ||
| Law enforcement sources told Fox News' Bill Malugan, That Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. | ||
| Capitol Police were surveilling the security perimeter of the RNC when they stopped a suspicious man wearing a mask. | ||
| The man was reportedly armed with an AK-47 pistol, a full magazine, and a screen mask in a large backpack. | ||
| Milwaukee Police said the arrest occurred around 1 p.m. | ||
| on Monday. | ||
| Now I'm going to pause you right there and say I don't think masks are illegal, or shouldn't be. | ||
| the man looking suspicious, wearing a ski mask and a large tactical backpack in the street. | ||
| Capitol Police performed a stop of the man and found that he was carrying a concealed | ||
| weapon in his backpack and did not have a concealed carry permit. | ||
| Now I'm going to pause you right there and say I don't think masks are illegal | ||
| or shouldn't be. I don't think guns are or should I hear they shouldn't be. | ||
| So it's interesting. | ||
| That being said, we are in a secure area. | ||
| And the issues I take with this are that it's not just about Donald Trump. | ||
| It's about quite literally anybody of prominence who's trying to go to the RNC. | ||
| Because I'm here at the RNC, right? | ||
| I don't want security lapses. | ||
| And especially considering what happened to Trump, I have my concerns as well. | ||
| But here's what matters. | ||
| This man who is seen walking around the RNC. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| He was arrested. | ||
| Now I have a question for you. | ||
| How is it that we have this story from the Daily Mail? | ||
| Thomas Crooks pictured one hour before he shot Trump. | ||
| Sniper identified gunman acting suspiciously checking his cell phone and a rangefinder at a rally when they took this photo. | ||
| This photo? | ||
| You mean they had an hour advance notice of a guy with a rangefinder skulking about, stalking the event, and they did nothing. | ||
| Yet at the RNC, they see a guy walking around outside and they stop, search, and arrest the man? | ||
| Now, of course, you may argue, yes, they arrested him because of what happened on Saturday. | ||

| See you on the tour. | ||
| Sure, I guess, but these are Capitol Police and maybe they're taking it a bit more seriously. | ||
| But I think this is one of the most significant stories we've seen in a while. | ||
| One hour. | ||
| Yo, at this rate of change, in one day they're going to tell us they were tracking Crooks for a week. | ||
| And you think I'm joking. | ||
| In almost all of these circumstances with these mass shootings, they say the suspect was known to the FBI. | ||
| They knew he was at risk. | ||
| They knew he had had mental health evaluations. | ||
| Somehow he came upon thousands of dollars worth of guns and ammunition. | ||
| I hate to say it, but it looks like more and more evidence is coming out suggesting that this is not a random occurrence. | ||
| And Bongino, man, this guy knows. | ||
| He was Secret Service. | ||
| He talks about the X, that's the spot where the president is standing, the holding zone, the holding room where they hold the president to clear threats before letting him come out. | ||
| One hour before, they identified a threat and they didn't stop Trump. | ||
| I've been to Trump rallies. | ||
| I've been to dozens. | ||
| Dozens of Trump rallies. | ||
| I interviewed the man only a couple months ago. | ||
| He was late. | ||
| He was late to the interview. | ||
| He was late to his speech at the Libertarian National Convention. | ||
| We waited. | ||
| He's a busy guy. | ||
| People have waited at Trump rallies for an hour or two for Donald Trump when he's been late. | ||
| There is no reason they couldn't have just said, uh, Mr. President, we're going to hold you here. | ||
| There's a suspicious man with a range finder. | ||
| So we're going to try and figure out what's going on with this. | ||
| And we don't want to put you in risk. | ||
| You know, we talked about this, uh, throughout the past several days that they simply could have went get Trump off the stage the moment they identified the threat. | ||
| But now we're learning that they knew of the threat before Trump even got onto the stage. | ||
| Now it gets interesting. | ||
| I mean, it was interesting from the get-go, but it gets more interesting. | ||
| How is it that a man climbed on top of the roof of the police's own staging area with a clear line of sight? | ||
| Again, shout-out to Dan Bongino. | ||
| He knows better than I do, so I'm only saying what he said, right? | ||
| I want to give him credit, full credit. | ||
| This guy knows what he's talking about. | ||
| He says, even if they couldn't secure the rooftop because the roof was sloped, they'd put up a banner to break line of sight. | ||
| He says, we do this all the time. | ||
| He talks about there was one instance where they could, as a Secret Service agent, he says, we couldn't secure a location, so we said, get spray paint, fake snow, which is easily removed, and block out all the windows. | ||
| And it's like, oh wow, yeah, that's, that sounds smart, that's like a normal thing. | ||
| He's like, that way this person can't get any kind of line of sight, it's a random shot, we don't want it, but it takes away that threat to a certain degree. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| They didn't put up a screen or a campaign banner, they didn't block line of sight from the building. | ||
| When we heard that a police officer, law enforcement, climbed up, saw the shooter, and then ran away, a lot of people were like, wow, what a coward. | ||
| Can I be dark for a moment? | ||
| Perhaps that's a bit naive, my friends. | ||
| In this instance, based on everything we know, I don't think it is unreasonable to conclude that that officer was well aware of what that man was doing. | ||
| And this is why I take issue with these people who say, back the blue, no matter who. | ||
| I mean, they don't literally say that, but that's basically what they're doing. | ||
| The left likes to say, back the blue, no matter who. | ||
| Or, I'm sorry, they say, vote blue, no matter who. | ||
| Democrat? | ||
| Nope, it doesn't matter. | ||
| And I'm like, okay. | ||
| And then you get many on the right saying, back the blue. | ||
| Meaning support your police officers. | ||
| Well, I like the institution of policing. | ||
| I think it can be better. | ||
| I think there are mistakes, but I think overall it ain't so bad. | ||
| I don't like traffic stop quotas or other garbage, and there are bad cops. | ||
| We get all that stuff. | ||
| Nobody's perfect. | ||
| Nothing's perfect. | ||
| But I ain't gonna back the blue no matter who. | ||
| Some of these cops are communists. | ||
| We've seen them operating in Seattle. | ||
| We've seen communist police officers defending far-left extremists. | ||
| So now you have a police officer Let me just put it this way. | ||
| The story is the cop was climbing, he climbed to the roof and he saw the guy, the shooter, and the shooter pointed a weapon at him so he ran off. | ||
| From this point, how much time did he have? | ||
| Because I don't know the time frame. | ||
| Where he could have been like, get the president in now! | ||
| He didn't do it. | ||
| They could have said, warning, guy with gun on roof, back off, back off, back off. | ||
| It doesn't make sense, does it? | ||
| Now I'm going to go ahead and say it, assuming all that's true. | ||
| You're going to get your corporate press liars who are going to try and tell you that everything is fine. | ||
| Go back to sleep, America. | ||
| Here's American Gladiators. | ||
| Here's 47 channels of it. | ||
| I'm not going to play that game with you guys. | ||
| I'm going to say, let's draw some logical conclusions. | ||
| Let's try to map this out. | ||
| What makes the most sense? | ||
| It is impossible. | ||
| As Viva Fry pointed out, fractal wrongness. | ||
| You can't be wrong that many times. | ||
| One hour in advance, you see a guy with a rangefinder Take a picture of him, and they still release the president. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That doesn't mean every agent was in on it. | ||
| That could simply be a lack of communication for some reason. | ||
| Nobody wanted to be the person to sound the alarm. | ||
| Possible. | ||
| But then we add these things up. | ||
| 26 minutes. | ||
| Saw the guy walking around, looking suspicious, identifying him as a suspicious actor. | ||
| Nothing done. | ||
| A cop confronts him on the rooftop with a gun. | ||
| Nothing done. | ||
| Two minutes before the shooting, people are screaming, he's got a gun, he's on the roof. | ||
| Nothing done. | ||
| I'm sorry, my friends. | ||
| You would have to be mentally impaired to conclude that after all of this being reported, that the news is as such a random guy got lucky and slipped through the cracks. | ||
| But where does that lead us? | ||
| Questions about the officer who confronted the man on the roof. | ||
| Because now people are speculating that the officer was actually doing a check, that he was not actually intending to stop the man, that he was actually fully aware of what the operation was, what this man was going to do, and was simply checking to make sure he was there. | ||
| Some have even suggested that he was warning the man his time was running out and he had to move quickly. | ||
| That's all way too speculative for me. | ||
| I won't play that game at all. | ||
| I will simply say this. | ||
| Let's state the facts of the case. | ||
| Donald Trump is speaking at a rally where Secret Service and local law enforcement has failed to secure a building within 130 yards of direct line of sight. | ||
| They have failed to cover line of sight. | ||
| They have failed to provide law enforcement for this building for which they are actually staging inside of. | ||
| A man is spotted one hour in advance with a range finder. | ||
| I'm not... literally. | ||
| A range finder. | ||
| This is the reporting. | ||
| This is a fact. | ||
| A picture of him is taken. | ||
| No alerts. | ||
| 26 minutes prior to the shooting. | ||
| Once again, law enforcement spots this man. | ||
| Photos are taken. | ||
| No alerts. | ||
| A police officer, a second within this time frame, also spots him. | ||
| No alerts. | ||
| A police officer confronts him on the rooftop, has a gun pointed at him. | ||
| No alerts. | ||
| Two minutes before the shooting, people are screaming, he's on the roof, he's got a gun. | ||
| No alerts. | ||
| A bullet is fired at the head of Donald Trump. | ||
| He drops to the ground. | ||
| And about, I believe it's within about 10 or so seconds, less than that, action is taken to end the life of the shooter. | ||
| Now, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| You will never be able to logically explain this one. | ||
| Tucker Carlson made a great point the other day, speaking on Triggered with Don Jr.' 's podcast. | ||
| He said this may be the one crime that actually gets solved. | ||
| Members of Congress, Senators, these people want to be Presidents. | ||
| They expect themselves to be in that seat one day, and if this is not remedied, and there's no answer for it, it will be them next time. | ||
| So we need to know. | ||
| Now, I'll tell you this. | ||
| We are in the era where we are far past insulting those who believe JFK was killed by a lone gunman who was deranged. | ||
| Ron Paul, famed congressman, leader of the Love Revolution 2008, said, is CIA. | ||
| RFK Jr., who is actually third, the third highest polling presidential candidate right now, though let's be real, he's not going to win, but he is still the third highest polling presidential candidate, said his father and uncle were killed by the CIA. | ||
| We are in an era now where it is routinely accepted by most people based on the facts of the matter that intelligence agencies in the U.S. | ||
| have assassinated our political leaders. | ||
| Now, I'm not going to get into the full details of how and why any of those circumstances happened. | ||
| There's a lot of questions and a lot of people are firm believers in how that all went down. | ||
| But I will just say I think it would be an absurdity to assume political establishment forces don't assassinate people. | ||
| Of course they do. | ||
| Assassinations have been a component of every major governance in the history of the planet. | ||
| From poisonings to public displays, tribunals, Robespierre. | ||
| I mean, it is commonplace for leaders to take out their enemies. | ||
| I don't know what happened on that day. | ||
| What I can tell you is there is no official story. | ||
| What, right now, and this is a fact, there's no official story. | ||
| We've not had an investigation, no report. | ||
| All we know is as the facts as I've described it. | ||
| And I do not see a reality where a run-of-the-mill American is going to believe this narrative that a random guy was free to walk around, was successful, and there's a ladder up against the building. | ||
| Although, Bongino says that sources are telling him he actually climbed on an air conditioner. | ||
| You expect me to believe that the one time they did not secure their own building, that four officers, four, before the shooting, all spotted this guy and gave no alerts, a full hour before Trump came out, they did not keep him in the holding zone to secure this threat even though they knew the guy was there? | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| No reasonable person could conclude that is the story. | ||
| So if the media tries to come out and say a crazed man of strange motivation was able to bypass security and take a shot at the president, I'm like, yeah, no, that that's impossible. | ||
| That is, as Viva Frye said, fractal wrongness. | ||
| They had again, How many opportunities to just say, Mr. President, we're going to, I'm going to put it this way. | ||
| When we noticed, when we saw the Milk Bar TV video, the two minute delay between these, he's got a gun, he's on the roof. | ||
| All of, I was just like, so they didn't just go into the wrist, get Trump off the stage, get him off the X. They didn't do that. | ||
| That enough was weird to me. | ||
| It's worse than that. | ||
| A full hour. | ||
| Before this speech. | ||
| Trump was only up for a few minutes on stage. | ||
| So a full hour before, before Trump even got on stage, the 26 minutes, whenever, whatever point, they could have said, Mr. President, stay here in the holding room. | ||
| We've identified a threat. | ||
| We're going to track it down, see if we can isolate what this is, and then we'll let you know when you're good to go on stage. | ||
| People in the audience would sit there twiddling their thumbs using their phones. | ||
| None's the wiser. | ||
| In fact, let me tell you this, my friends. | ||
| There have been many rallies where Donald Trump has been late, and there are questions about why he was late. | ||
| Most of the time, it's just, well, you know, Trump's getting ready. | ||
| Maybe he's getting cleaned up. | ||
| Maybe he's going to use the bathroom. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| I'm willing to bet several of these are secret service at Mr. President. | ||
| We're going to hold you for just a moment while we secure the area. | ||
| Potential threat. | ||
| It's probably nothing. | ||
| And then he waited. | ||
| After I did the interview with Donald Trump at the Libertarian National Convention, it was actually, I think, like 15 or 20 minutes. | ||
| We're in a room literally next to, like, I can open the door and watch the stage at the Libertarian Convention in downtown DC. | ||
| Donald Trump comes in our room with Secret Service guarding the room. | ||
| We do the interview. | ||
| He gets up. | ||
| He says, all right, I'm going to go get ready. | ||
| He had literally just done an interview on camera, so he's clearly good to go. | ||
| He goes into his room, and then they take another 15 or 20 minutes. | ||
| Why? | ||
| I'm sure there's, oh well, we gotta get the prompter set up. | ||
| I don't believe that. | ||
| Trump was already late to my interview. | ||
| We were supposed to get a half an hour. | ||
| Turned into 20 minutes, turned into 17. | ||
| But I respect the man's time, and I'm grateful that I got what I got. | ||
| But even after that, he was still late to get on stage and speak. | ||
| Perhaps it could be a lighting issue. | ||
| A teleprompter bug happened or something. | ||
| I think the actual reason is they were doing a security check. | ||
| That's the most logical reason. | ||
| Trump, we're going to wait here. | ||
| Now that you're here, we're going to reassess security. | ||
| I know that because that's the one thing you can't just say we've done. | ||
| Trump's late to an event. | ||
| The teleprompter is good to go. | ||
| They've worked at the bugs. | ||
| They can press play. | ||
| Security changes every time. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| And so here we are. | ||
| Trump, but by the grace of God, survives. | ||
| Take a look at this video. | ||
| Hey, guys, Josh Hammer here, the host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer, a podcast for the First Podcast Network. | ||

| For those that are just listening, this is a slow motion, wire-framed analysis of the shot on Donald Trump. | ||
| Here's what they've done. | ||
| We walk backwards from this. | ||
| We know that Donald Trump took a strike to the ear, damaging his right ear. | ||
| Which means, the path of the bullet had to go in a straight line through where his ear was. | ||
| At Point Consciousness on TikTok, or whoever made this, used computers to wireframe Trump's face, and then rotate that wireframe in 3D for an overhead view. | ||
| In the beginning, you can see the dotted line, the path of the bullet. | ||
| How did they do this? | ||
| They start from where it would have struck his ear and where his head was. | ||
| And there's the bullet striking Trump's ear. | ||
| It's a bit large, in my opinion, for the size of a bullet, but you get the point. | ||
| Working backwards from here, using the wireframe, you rewind to where Trump would have been, but the line, the path of the bullet stays the same. | ||
| This round was lined up directly with the right eye socket of Donald Trump. | ||
| And while this video is slowed down to about 60% or so, Within a fraction of a second, I mean we're talking a second, you can see, watch the top. | ||
| Trump's hat tilts slightly forward. | ||
| The back of his head tilts, and you can see the wireframe version tilt as well, putting his ear, and only his ear, in the path. | ||
| If Trump had not tilted his head ever so slightly like he did, that round would have gone through his eye and out the back of his head and His head would have exploded on live television. | ||
| It would have burst out the back. | ||
| I believe that's how, let me, is it, yeah, the entry point, so people think that when you strike, and we'll keep this one light, when you strike a watermelon, when you shoot it, they think that what's gonna happen is the bullet's going to enter it, and the force of the bullet's gonna knock the watermelon back. | ||
| Watch the science videos explaining this. | ||
| It's actually really interesting. | ||
| It goes the other direction. | ||
| Here's the watermelon, the bullet enters, and the watermelon moves in the direction of the round. | ||
| Now, why is that? | ||
| What's interesting is when the bullet enters, it creates a small hole, and the pressure buildup is, the pressure is building up towards the back of the watermelon. | ||
| So when the bullet finally exits, all of that mass and material that's inside is being pushed backwards, Creating an exit where it sprays all of that matter of the watermelon compressed, which creates effectively a jet. | ||
| The pressure bursts left, equal and opposite reaction, watermelon moves forward. | ||
| That was something I learned in like 7th grade science class. | ||
| It was really interesting. | ||
| And I don't know if that's actually the case, but... | ||
| That's just, I'm not an expert on how it would work with a human skull or anything like that, but we watched this video of like, when they hit a watermelon, the watermelon jumps forward and they're like, wow, look at that, that's really interesting. | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| But this video, I think, outlines it. | ||
| It's very interesting. | ||
| Now, this post I want to highlight before we go into our next segments. | ||
| Bongino basically said, Secret Service Director and DHS are covering up the assassination attempt. | ||
| There was supposed to be someone on top of that roof, but they weren't there. | ||
| He says, I was also told the Secret Service Director has been given instructions from the administration and the DHS Secretary that if you want to keep your job, you'll keep your mouth shut about this. | ||
| Let me ask you guys a question. | ||
| Let me ask you guys a question. | ||
| Seeing everything that's happened. | ||
| Everything that's been done. | ||
| Is it not possible that the same degree of anti-Trump, Trump derangement syndrome exists within law enforcement as it does without? | ||
| The idea that law enforcement can never be corrupt is obviously false. | ||
| There are corrupt cops all the time. | ||
| Senator Menendez just got convicted of corruption. | ||
| When you see all these people go on social media and they say that they wished it succeeded, do you not think that there are people within law enforcement who feel similarly? | ||
| So many people feel that way. | ||
| Why is it a stretch of the imagination to assume or to believe that there are certainly some people in law enforcement who feel the same way? | ||
| Thus, it's entirely possible that a collection, a small handful, a couple, or one individual in an official capacity allowed for or made this happen. | ||
| I don't have the answers, but I'm also not a moron. | ||
| And this, as presented, there's no official story that could explain away how this went down. | ||
| There is no, we all just simultaneously stopped doing our duty, allowed the president on stage. | ||
| It was all 17 different accidents all at once. | ||
| Oh, spare me. | ||
| If not for Donald Trump's head tilt, that's it. | ||
| He turned and tilted his head slightly forward. | ||
| You can see the wireframe. | ||
| He tilts his head slightly forward and it goes through his ear. | ||
| And if he didn't, it was going right for his eye. | ||
| That's incredible. | ||
| It's terrifying at the same time. | ||
| If Donald Trump were to have died on that day, the United States would fall into a crisis. | ||
| The stock market would collapse by, I don't know, mid-double digits. | ||
| The sheer uncertainty foreign investors would pull out. | ||
| When Newsbroke of Biden's collapse and the likelihood of Donald Trump winning, the market started to improve. | ||
| People are investing in America thinking that a Donald Trump presidency is good for the economy. | ||
| If Donald Trump were to die, treaties would break. | ||
| China would move on Taiwan. | ||
| Iran would start expanding rapidly. | ||
| They'd push their forces in the Red Sea, probably strike Israel. | ||
| Everybody would just say, that's it. | ||
| The United States has been struck. | ||
| I don't know how rapidly any international breakdown would occur, but certainly the U.S. | ||
| economy would crumble overnight and it would not recover. | ||
| It would probably result in bedlam. | ||
| The election this November would be just abject chaos with no real result. | ||
| Some people said we are millimeters away from civil war. | ||
| I don't know that. | ||
| I don't know that civil war is what you would get. | ||
| I think Soviet-style collapse is more likely. | ||
| That's kind of scary. | ||
| We have this story here. | ||
| Why no sniper on the roof from which Trump was shot at? | ||
| Secret Service Chief's bizarre answer raises eyebrows. | ||
| It was sloped. | ||
| Someone posted a video of a cow jumping up on a sloped roof and walking around on it. | ||
| No, no one buys this. | ||
| Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. | ||
| These people have lost their minds. | ||
| What's the guy's name? | ||
| Yuval Noah Harari? | ||
| World Economic Forum deputy? | ||
| Said in a podcast that if Trump gets elected, it's the end of the global order. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| hegemony. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| military bases in Britain and Spain and Germany and Japan? | ||
| Why? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Trump's going to start making countries pay for their military. | ||
| He's going to make them take care of themselves. | ||
| And this will change things, in my opinion, much for the better. | ||
| The night is always darkest before the dawn, but I believe that the U.S. | ||
| should be securing itself and not worrying about being world police. | ||
| They don't want that. | ||
| Do you not think that they would stop at nothing? | ||
| And so here we are. | ||
| Their story doesn't make sense. | ||
| Now they may have patsies upon patsies. | ||
| First you get a crazy kid, whatever. | ||
| Then you'll have some cop who, oh no, he was in on it. | ||
| Then maybe it comes to a director or logistics or something, but it never reaches the top. | ||
| Now, anybody who wanted to do something like this would be smart enough. | ||
| Smart enough. | ||
| Well. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| I'm going to read your superchats. | ||
| We've got many more stories to start ripping through here. | ||
| The next story, of course, I want to get to is the cover-up escalates. | ||
| Media wants to hide the iconic photo of Donald Trump. | ||
| We'll read that one in a second, but I will grab your superchats, so... Smash that like button! | ||
| One like equals one! | ||
| Fight, fight, fight! | ||
| Become a member at TimCast.com to support our work directly. | ||
| And in the meantime, let's grab your superchats here. | ||
| Let me see if I can get a better grip on this YouTube over here. | ||
| Alright, here we go. | ||
| YouTube's giving me the business, huh? | ||
| Clint Torres says, Howdy people! | ||
| For some reason it doesn't want me to see your comment, but I know you're there. | ||
| Nicosia says, good to catch you in the AM, Tim. | ||
| Thanks to you and the TimCast team. | ||
| Thank you guys for watching. | ||
| Really do appreciate it. | ||
| Gonfal says, secret service? | ||
| More like secret circus! | ||
| Josh Love says, first live morning show. | ||
| Great coverage. | ||
| Great analysis. | ||
| Thank you for including so many points of view and not being just another bubble. | ||
| I appreciate the compliment. | ||
| What does it say? | ||
| Uminam says, Tim Crooks was likely a Richard Republican so that he could sabotage our primaries. | ||
| PA primary is closed. | ||
| I don't care where he registered. | ||
| That doesn't mean anything. | ||
| Someone registering for a political party does not say anything to their motivations. | ||
| It's silly. | ||
| You can say that there's grains of sand in the heap if he had pictures of Trump and other paraphernalia and was like for years screaming he loved the man. | ||
| Sure, then I'd have questions. | ||
| But many are suggesting that this is a guy who was trying to vote for Nikki Haley. | ||
| Even if he was a Republican, there are Republicans who hate Trump. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I literally think it's immaterial. | ||
| I don't think this guy is relevant that much. | ||
| He's the shooter. | ||
| He does matter. | ||
| But around him we have the failure of the entire security apparatus in ways that could not be an accident. | ||
| I'm sorry, it just can't be. | ||
| That's insanity. | ||
| They didn't... I'm sorry, like, it just does not make sense. | ||
| A cop encountered the guy on the roof of the gun and didn't call it in? | ||
| No way! | ||
| The only explanation that makes sense is he's claiming he encountered him and ran away because he has to be able to explain away why people saw him staring at the guy with the gun and doing nothing. | ||
| But why didn't he just say, get the president, there's a guy with the gun? | ||
| Doesn't make sense. | ||
| Certainly does not. | ||
| Greasemonkey says, I just watched Liberty Hangout's video interviewing young voters after the shooting, and they were all saying they are voting Trump. | ||
| Landslide incoming. | ||

|
Maybe. | |
| Maybe. | ||
| You can't discount the Shadow Campaign. | ||
| We don't know exactly what will happen, so I encourage all of you to fight, fight, fight. | ||
| And that means to go out, register voters, knock on doors. | ||
| We don't play the silly, stupid games of the left, where they want to censor you for saying, learn to code, but then when you say, hey, don't advocate murder, they go, you're engaging in cancel culture! | ||
| It's why, just like, so many of these liberals make me cringe. | ||
| You know, look, I gotta tell you this. | ||
| I am, uh, I am not a conservative. | ||
| Certainly not, as most people know. | ||
| I am, uh, not a liberal. | ||
| I lean slightly liberal on many issues, but tribally, I got no idea. | ||
| The Republican Party sucks. | ||
| The Democratic Party sucks. | ||
| The Libertarian Party sucks. | ||
| They all suck. | ||
| We've got some, we got, Trump's a badass. | ||
| His family, they're working really hard. | ||
| A day after someone tries to take his life, they're right back at work. | ||
| I respect it. | ||
| And I support this country. | ||
| But I think that all of these parties are flawed, and I don't know what my political alignment is, but I tell you this, these liberals are so spineless and pathetic, okay? | ||
| You've gotta have some kind of moral standard for a society. | ||
| You can't just be like, we believe in free speech, that means people can literally call for murder. | ||
| I'm like, well, hold on, like, that was always the line for us. | ||
| We always said, as long as you're not advocating for violence, that was the line for us. | ||
| And there are free speech absolutists who actually said, no, advocacy is fine so long as you're not engaging. | ||
| I've always been that. | ||
| Now, when you start advocating for murder, like I'm not on your, I'm not going to defend you. | ||
| And now all of a sudden they're saying, but Tim, you support cancel culture. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I have always said no supporting and advocating for violence against other people. | ||
| That's a crime. | ||
| Now, that's an interesting argument. | ||
| If Congress is allowed to make it a crime to advocate for violence, that is an imposition on free speech, which presents us with a real challenge. | ||
| And these are the questions that were brought up when I started to realize, you know, there really is no principle line. | ||
| There's no line by which you support or oppose a principle. | ||
| It's not a real thing. | ||
| It is our morals that dictate when we do and do not take action, when we determine that we are being reasonable for the purpose of maintaining and securing a free state, But free insofar to the best of our abilities. | ||
| Because what does free really mean? | ||
| Should people be free to scam other people? | ||
| We don't accept that. | ||
| Should they be free to have their way with people who don't consent? | ||
| Well, of course not! | ||
| There is certainly a limit to what it means to be truly free. | ||
| You are free in regards to how we view morals and what we deem to be reasonable. | ||
| But I'll get into all that stuff. | ||
| Before we do, let's grab a couple more Super Chats before we jump into the next segment. | ||
| The Senate says, I'm from Butler, currently one-eighth of a mile from the rally place. | ||
| I know a lot of officers from here, and I know a majority like Trump. | ||
| I've had it hard to believe they weren't all trying to help. | ||
| All it takes is one cop. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| One TDS cop who won't admit it, surrounded by Trump supporters. | ||
| And someone comes to him and says, a man's gonna come and do what needs to be done. | ||
| Don't get in his way. | ||
| All it takes for one Secret Service logistics officer to say, I have laid out the plan. | ||
| We've secured all points, but intentionally omit that roof. | ||
| It's not hard. | ||
| It's not hard. | ||
| It's terrifying. | ||
| I don't think the cops are in on it. | ||
| That's silly. | ||
| You couldn't. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Dan Spence says, Tim, the sniper team that got him was on a sloped roof. | ||
| Yeah, sloped roofs are dangerous, my ass. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Vermin says, censorship on you, Tim, is crazy today. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Second day, not notified. | ||
| Gonna get worse. | ||
| Well, then what all of you can do right now? | ||
| Go on X, post this live stream, because yes, Google has shadow banned this channel. | ||
| You can't Google search these streams. | ||
| I don't even know how I got 24,000 people watching right now because of the shadow banning. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| Let's jump to this story. | ||
| We got this one from the Daily Mail. | ||
| Trump cover-up escalates as photo editor at Popular Publication wants to ban iconic raised fist photo for making GOP nominee look too good. | ||
| An editor at a major news outlet wants the press to stop using the iconic photo of the assassination attempt against Donald Trump because it represents free PR for his campaign. | ||
| I'm gonna pause you right there. | ||
| This is literally a historical photo of a major event that rocked this nation to its core, on par with some of the worst tragedies in American history, just narrowly being avoided. | ||
| And you're saying don't show that photo? | ||
| These people are partisan shills. | ||
| They work for the Democratic Party. | ||
| The unnamed editor told Axios that sharing the historic photo of the former president standing after he survived the attempt on his life is dangerous despite how good it is. | ||
| As I am reading this story, breaking news came in. | ||
| Secret Service spotted Trump gunman inside rally three hours before shooting. | ||
| I told you we are going to get notified within a day or two that they're like, actually, they were well aware of this man. | ||
| They knew of his plan for a week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Let's get back to the story at hand, though. | ||
| Liberal-leaning Axios reported that multiple unnamed photographers told them they were worried the image taken by Pulitzer Prize-winning Evan Fucci could turn into photoganda by the Trump campaign to further their agenda despite the photographer's intent of capturing a news event. | ||
| These people are evil. | ||
| They are so evil. | ||
| If Donald Trump wants to use a piece of history to campaign, so be it! | ||
| When you convey the news, it is for the intention to inform the public. | ||
| And be it Trump or anyone else who wants to show this image of how he responded, that is the truth! | ||
| To argue the truth should be concealed as to how Donald Trump responded. | ||
| Because you don't want him to win makes you a vile and evil person. | ||
| These journalists, man, they are so, so evil. | ||
| One photographer said the photo could become a propaganda machine and make Trump a martyr. | ||
| Could be, shouldn't be your concern. | ||
| What a journalist does is says, I take the picture, I cast it out to the world. | ||
| You decide. | ||
| These people are saying, we're trying to tell the news, but only if it's bad for Trump. | ||
| When a photo comes out that makes him look good, we better stop using it. | ||
| Do you see? | ||
| They're not trying to inform you or tell the news. | ||
| They're trying to convey a narrative that they control. | ||
| We shouldn't let Donald Trump show the photo of what happened. | ||
| In 2011 at Occupy Wall Street, I had just left the park. | ||
| There was a meeting, and this is the raid on Zuccotti. | ||
| I was leaving, and we saw a bunch of squad cars doing donuts, like they were driving around these blocks. | ||
| We were like, that was weird. | ||
| I take the train out to, uh, where is it, like Jamaica? | ||
| It's an area of New York, I think that's what it's called. | ||
| I'm at my friend's house, and it's probably a half hour or hour train ride. | ||
| Right when I sit down, open my laptop, I see Twitter, breaking, police have begun a raid on Occupy Wall Street. | ||
| So I thought to myself for about five seconds, I was like, man, I guess I'm not there. | ||
| I just, I guess it's getting rated. | ||
| I'm not going to be there. | ||
| And then I stopped and I was like, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| This is history. | ||
| This is the end of Occupy Wall Street. | ||
| I have to get there even if I'm late. | ||
| So I ran outside, I just threw everything in my bag, ran outside, ran into a bar and I said, call me a cab, quick, call me a cab. | ||
| And they're like, well, I said, give me a cab, give me a cab. | ||
| They call a livery service. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| The car pulls up and I said, my guy, I need to get to Zuccotti Park 10 minutes ago. | ||
| I'll make it worth your while. | ||
| And the guy goes, you got a buddy? | ||
| And he pedals to the metal. | ||
| Dude was speeding. | ||
| I make it to Occupy Wall Street. | ||
| I give the guy like a hundred bucks for the ride. | ||
| I jump out. | ||
| Park is surrounded. | ||
| Police are rounding people up and I start streaming. | ||
| Very quickly, even though I'm outside, people start sharing and picking up this livestream. | ||
| This is a big breaking point for me in my career. | ||
| I had a decent amount of followers from doing these livestreams. | ||
| This one was big. | ||
| It was picked up by Time Magazine. | ||
| And at some point, as I'm filming outside the park, I come across a handful of far leftists in masks deflating police tires. | ||
| For what reason? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| It does nothing. | ||
| It hinders these officers in no real way. | ||
| They were just airing out the tires. | ||
| And as I'm filming, walking around saying, this is what is happening, I turn and there they are right in front of me. | ||
| So they get in my face, swing at me, tell me to stop filming. | ||
| I had been repeatedly attacked by these leftists. | ||
| They had told me that I should stop filming them and only film the police, that I should be producing propaganda for them so they can win, and I said, F you. | ||
| I'm here to tell people what's happening, not who they should support. | ||
| If you guys punch a cop in the face, I'm gonna show that to people. | ||
| If the cop punches you in the face, I'm gonna show that to people. | ||
| And that's what I did. | ||
| And that's what a journalist should do. | ||
| I wasn't intending on being a journalist. | ||
| I just wanted to know the truth. | ||
| And I want people to know the truth. | ||
| And the truth is here, today. | ||
| Donald Trump on Saturday defiantly rose after taking a bullet, raised his fist, and yelled, Fight! | ||
| Fight! | ||
| Fight! | ||
| And Evan Vucci, I think it's Vucci, not Fucci, got an incredible, an iconic, a historic moment. | ||
| He captured that moment and shared it with the world, as is the job of a journalist. | ||
| I envy this man. | ||
| For to be there at that moment and capture what is a piece of human history for millennia to come is the dream of every journalist. | ||
| To be in that moment, to capture that moment, and share it in such an amazing and incredible way, to tell the people this, this is humanity. | ||
| And now, journalists are saying, don't show people the truth. | ||
| They must not know what it actually looked like, what the president actually did, because it could help him. | ||
| Here's my question for you. | ||
| Why does this photo help Donald Trump? | ||
| It helps Donald Trump because Donald Trump did a good thing. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It helps Donald Trump because of the legitimate, factual actions of Donald Trump. | ||
| He stood up defiantly, raised his fist with blood on his face, and said, fight, fight, fight. | ||
| And that is good for him. | ||
| He did good. | ||
| It benefits him. | ||
| When the American people see that, they are inspired. | ||
| When communist crackpot psychopaths who believe in controlling the narrative, rejecting the truth, trying to manipulate you to steal power, see that they say, heavens help us, the truth will set them free and we must not allow it. | ||
| I've not seen... I mean, this is one of the most vile, vile things I've seen in a long time. | ||
| The photograph of a bloody Donald Trump with his fist in the air and an American flag living in the background is quickly emerging as the pivotal image of Saturday's shooting. | ||
| It's going to be in every campaign ad. | ||
| Commercials no longer need to attack Joe Biden. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| We don't need commercials that say, Joe Biden's for illegal immigration. | ||
| The only commercial you need now is... | ||
| On July 13th, 2024, a deranged gunman put Donald Trump in his sights and opened fire. | ||
| But, for the grace of God, Donald Trump narrowly avoided death, taking a bullet to his ear. | ||
| Defiantly emerging from the ground, blood on his face, raising his fist for this country and saying, Fight! | ||
| Donald Trump 2024. | ||
| That's all you need. | ||
| When people are trying to decide who's going to be their leader, what matters? | ||
| What can the president do? | ||
| Well, when it comes to foreign policy, Joe Biden is weak. | ||
| He's mocked. | ||
| He's confused. | ||
| He's frail. | ||
| And he is, by many accounts, infirm. | ||
| And it's sad. | ||
| And what I want for Joe Biden is for him to sit in a rocking chair on his porch with some sun tea while his grandkids play in the yard. | ||
| To relax. | ||
| Joe, you've earned it. | ||
| Not that I'm a fan of your career or the things you've done, but, you know, we all have disagreements politically, and instead of getting into the nuances of American politics over the past 50-some-odd years, let's just say this. | ||
| Joe, go sit in your wheelchair, watch your grandkids play, and enjoy some sun tea. | ||
| And then we'll take over from here, and we'll try to fix the things you broke. | ||
| I think that's fair. | ||
| I know some people want retribution and stuff like that, but, you know, we try to be reasonable people. | ||
| That's what we want for Joe. | ||
| The American people, when they're choosing their political leaders, want to know that there is policy in mind that will improve their lives. | ||
| They want to know that the commander-in-chief of the armed forces has the wherewithal, has the force of will, to stand strong to defend this nation. | ||
| Donald Trump rose up after getting struck in the face by a bullet. | ||
| On the side of the head. | ||
| And yelled, fight with his fist raised. | ||
| The next day he was playing golf. | ||
| The next day he was at work with a bandage on his ear. | ||
| And what did these people do? | ||
| They insulted him. | ||
| They lamented the fact that the shooter missed. | ||
| I think the American people see that photo and they conclude one thing. | ||
| Here's a guy who is going to stand up for us and defend us. | ||
| He has the strength of will. | ||
| He has the strength of mind. | ||
| While Joe Biden falls up the stairs, Donald Trump rises after getting shot in the side of the head. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| They're going to say video of the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally filled television screens. | ||
| We know this. | ||
| Before it was even clear what happened. | ||
| Yet the work of Evan Vucci. | ||
| Getty's Anna Moneymaker and Doug Mills of the New York Times, whose picture caught apparent evidence of a bullet whizzing past Trump's head, incredible photo by the way, proved the enduring potency of still photography in a world driven by a flood of moving pictures. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| The image of the bullet flying past Trump's head, you can see his head's turned, his hand is up, and the bullet is right behind him. | ||
| That's the bullet that struck him. | ||
| The bullet hits him, and then after it does, he reacts. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Trump grabbed his right ear as the first shots rang out. | ||
| A bullet ripped through his ear. | ||
| Trump didn't know. | ||
| He grabbed his ear. | ||
| He hits the deck. | ||
| Look at the reaction of people. | ||
| It takes you a second to realize what's happening. | ||
| Vucci's image, one of the many he took on Saturday, could also have political implications for many directions, as indelible images often do in the days and years after seismic events happen. | ||
| Without question, Evans' photo will become the definitive photo from the assassination attempt, Patrick Witte, a former photo editor at Time, the New York Times, and National Geographic told the AP. | ||
| It captures a range of complex details and emotions in one still image. | ||
| The defiantly raised fist, the blood, the agents clamoring to push Trump off the stage, and most importantly, the flag. | ||
| That's what elevates this photo. | ||
| Authorities are still working to figure out how 20-year-old Thomas Crooks was able to nearly shoot Trump in the head. | ||
| I want to go back to this photo, my friends. | ||
| Evan Vucci captured one of the most iconic photos in American history. | ||
| And for that matter, considering how long photography has been around, I mean, one of the most iconic photos in human history. | ||
| And the argument from journalists is, conceal it. | ||
| Otherwise, Trump might win. | ||
| But I'll stress this again. | ||
| Why might he win? | ||
| Because the photo proves that Trump will stand strong. | ||
| For you. | ||
| Donald Trump is a billionaire who could be riding in a yacht in the Mediterranean, sipping on a mojito. | ||
| Or whatever the... What do they have in the Mediterranean? | ||
| A rocky? | ||
| Let's just say he's off the coast of Turkey. | ||
| Or he's near Turkey, and so he's got a rocky. | ||
| That's what they're called. | ||
| It's like an anise alcohol drink. | ||
| I hate anise, by the way. | ||
| Anyway, Trump could be... | ||
| Driving golf balls off his yacht into the Mediterranean Sea with beautiful women or his family, his family around enjoying his golden years and say, I lived a long life and built many buildings. | ||
| Instead, he's like, I want to go to war with the deep state, with the corruption in this country. | ||
| I want to stand strong for the United States. | ||
| I want people to love and respect the work that I do, and I want the work to be for them. | ||
| And he goes to a rally and he gets shot in the side of the head. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| That photo captures all of that. | ||
| It's not just an image of Donald Trump standing up with a raised fist. | ||
| It's an image of a billionaire who has no real reason to sacrifice his health and well-being, his family, his life for his country and what he believes in. | ||
| It shows that he is willing to stand up after all of this, not run away. | ||
| I don't care what your political arguments are. | ||
| Joe Biden will never overcome that. | ||
| And that's why I also, I'll say this, I don't think there's going to be another debate. | ||
| Because Joe Biden will not be able to debate Donald Trump. | ||
| He won't. | ||
| They'll be on stage and Joe will say, this guy is a liar, he's a threat to democracy. | ||
| And Donald will go, Joe, it is that language that you've been using that resulted in a man trying to take my life and killing an innocent person. | ||
| It is irresponsible. | ||
| Biden can't do that. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| Biden pulled his ads for a day. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I don't know how much that really matters in the long run. | ||
| But, you know, he did. | ||
| I look at this, and I think that, um... I think the argument is over. | ||
| I think that's the easiest way to describe it. | ||
| The battle's not over. | ||
| Donald Trump chose J.D. | ||
| Vance, and a lot of people have questions as to why he did. | ||
| We spoke last night on TimCast IRL, and Luker Cassi says, no, the election's over. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Trump won. | ||
| Well, I would say, sure, but there's no reason why Donald Trump should simply give up the fight right now. | ||
| Donald Trump should say, at this point, we yell charge. | ||
| The idea that when you start gaining ground, you stop is ridiculous. | ||
| J.D. | ||
| Vance plays well in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio, three states where Donald Trump is the weakest, namely Wisconsin and Michigan. | ||
| With J.D. | ||
| Vance, it allows him that boost, and it names the heir to MAGA. | ||
| I want y'all to understand this. | ||
| I don't know to what degree there's official capacity involved in the shooting attempt at Donald Trump, but it certainly seems like the simple solution. | ||
| Someone else was involved. | ||
| To what degree? | ||
| Again, I don't know. | ||
| But the idea that a random guy, three hours now we're learning, three! | ||
| The timeline keeps growing! | ||
| Three hours he was spotted. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I think it may come out that somebody was trying an official capacity inside job of some sort. | ||
| Donald Trump would have died that day were it not for the grace of God. | ||
| You may be an atheist and not believe in God, then don't take that in the literal sense, take it in the figurative sense. | ||
| At any rate, it was but a fraction of strange probability that Donald Trump tilted his head forward and to the right a little bit and the bullet, instead of going into his eye, went into his ear. | ||
| Crazy, isn't it? | ||
| So what would have happened? | ||
| If on that day Donald Trump died, Joe Biden would give a eulogy. | ||
| He would give his national address and say, ladies and gentlemen, we've gone too far. | ||
| We need unity. | ||
| I don't know that this country could survive. | ||
| Come Monday, Nikki Haley would be the Republican nominee. | ||
| No question. | ||
| Trump had not named a VP. | ||
| He wasn't going to jail. | ||
| And Nikki Haley has the next highest amount of delegates. | ||
| She'd say, I am ready to serve this country in the memory of Donald Trump. | ||
| We had our disagreements, but he was a good man. | ||
| And that would have been it. | ||
| But it didn't happen. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because Trump tilted his head a millimeter. | ||
| He tilted his head a little bit forward. | ||
| And for that, on Monday he announced J.D. | ||
| Vance in even weight. | ||
| I was sitting at the—what's it called? | ||
| It's called New Fashioned. | ||
| Excellent cheeseburgers, by the way. | ||
| I got the gluten-free bun. | ||
| And it was delicious. | ||
| We were waiting just outside the Phi Serv building. | ||
| That's where they're doing the—we're having the main RNC event. | ||
| The floor and the stadium and all that stuff. | ||
| We were thinking like, you know, when should we head back to the studio because we're outside the secure zone? | ||
| We wouldn't be able to do IRL inside, it's just not possible. | ||
| You know, media row in all these places, like people are walking up, you know, Alex Stein's walking in front of the camera, people would be yelling, you couldn't do it. | ||
| More importantly though, we have live tickets that we're selling seats, you know, people can come watch live, you couldn't do that there. | ||
| And so we're hanging out there. | ||
| And when should we leave? | ||
| And I'm like, well, let's let's stick around because Trump's, I think, going to show up and he's going to do the announcement of the VP and we should be here for that. | ||
| That's supposed to be at 3 or 4 p.m. | ||
| And then we can head back and start getting ready for our Tim Guest IRL. | ||
| And then Trump just posts on Truth. | ||
| J.D. | ||
| Vance is who I've chosen. | ||
| We all kind of knew it. | ||
| And I was just like, did he just post it on the on the Internet like he did? | ||
| All right, let's head back to the studio, I guess. | ||
| I'm going to be here for this. | ||
| I'll tell you why I think he did this. | ||
| Trump probably knew. | ||
| They told him, you need to name your VP now in the event something else happens. | ||
| This is not even 48 hours after someone tried to take his life. | ||
| He's secure and they say, name your VP because if you go out onto the street and you go to the RNC and you know that someone's got it out for you and you don't name your VP, Nikki Haley's president. | ||
| If something were to happen to Donald Trump right now, then J.D. | ||
| Vance could likely pick up the reins and be the nominee. | ||
| Which is... Man. | ||
| I mean, it's better than nothing. | ||
| It's better than nothing. | ||
| I don't know what will happen next, and many people are asking if they think there will be another attempt on Donald Trump's life. | ||
| Well, the opening story for the stream we did this morning, for those that are watching still live, you know this, was about a man with an AK pistol outside the RNC. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I do not believe anyone will stop. | ||
| When Brandon Strzok asked, when we were asked on TimCast IRL with Brandon Strzok whether we thought Trump would be in prison, I said, no, I think house arrest. | ||
| It's strategic. | ||
| And Brandon said, why? | ||
| Why would they stop now? | ||
| Trump won in court. | ||
| He won in court again, and he won in court again. | ||
| He won the Supreme Court. | ||
| He got his sentencing postponed for the hush money case. | ||
| And now the documents case has been dismissed. | ||
| He was supposed to be in prison. | ||
| But he won. | ||
| And so what happens next? | ||
| A bullet whizzes past his head. | ||
| They failed. | ||
| They killed an innocent man and critically injured two others, but they could not stop Trump. | ||
| Everything they've thought of this man, they have failed. | ||
| They could not stop him. | ||
| Maybe, and hopefully, they give up now. | ||
| And they just say, guys, if that don't work, I don't know what does. | ||
| Or maybe they just say, no. | ||
| I hope things calm down. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| It's getting too crazy, man. | ||
| You know? | ||
| What do we want? | ||
| We want security. | ||
| We want to be able to feed our families. | ||
| We want to be able to watch the sports, sporting events, and have a good time. | ||
| These people have plum lost their minds. | ||
| The idea that they would just... The idea that stopping Trump saves democracy. | ||
| That's the antithesis of saving democracy. | ||
| It's the end of democracy. | ||
| They argue that they would end democracy to save it because they're fascists, they're communists, and you get it. | ||
| I'm gonna wrap up this segment, and then for those that are watching live, we'll jump over to Super Chats, so smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member to support our work directly, and hang out at our members-only call-in shows. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| I have another segment for those that are not watching live, that'll be at 4 p.m., and of course, tonight, TimCast IRL, so stay tuned, and we'll see you all then. | ||
| And for those of you that are still hanging out live, we'll grab some more super chats. | ||
| And I did see one chat, someone had a question. | ||
| Why are we here at the RNC if we're just doing the show like we normally do? | ||
| Because I went to the RNC. | ||
| I was just at the RNC hanging out like I was describing. | ||
| So as I'm telling the story of how I'm at the convention, talking to people, hanging out, waiting for the announcements, we have a conference center At the RNC. | ||
| Here's what people need to understand. | ||
| The RNC is the entirety of Milwaukee. | ||
| The hotel that we're in, where we're doing the show, is part of the RNC. | ||
| And so there's secret service protection and all that stuff. | ||
| We're literally there. | ||
| It's just, it's the whole city. | ||
| It was really funny, we went to some like rinky-dink hotel, like in the middle of nowhere, in like kind of a bad neighborhood. | ||
| RNC. | ||
| They buy out all the hotels, and so we're doing a live event. | ||
| To my left, I'm looking at 85 chairs for you guys tomorrow night for our live event, where you will come and hang out. | ||
| Mike Lindell will be here. | ||
| Luke Gorkowski, Hannah Clare, Libby Emmons. | ||
| And I think we may have another guest. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| We should have six total. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Maybe it's gonna be Taylor Hanson of Tenant Media. | ||
| Maybe, if Taylor's still here. | ||
| But that's why we're here. | ||
| We wanted to do a live event. | ||
| We wanted to invite people who are at the RNC to also come. | ||
| Hang out at our live show where we have people who are at the RNC. | ||
| Luke is in town for the RNC, so we have him on for the week. | ||
| Alex Stein was here. | ||
| We had him on yesterday. | ||
| Jeremy the Quartering lives here, so we were able to have him on. | ||
| We did a special interview with Lauren Boebert because she's here, and we've also met and talked with other people at the RNC. | ||
| That's why we're here, to be in one of the most important locations and meet with people and talk with people, and we will be there again today. | ||
| I mean, to be honest, like I was saying, we're here now. | ||
| I suppose the question is like, did they think my show would be an RNC show or something? | ||
| And I'm like, my show is my show. | ||
| We're just here at the RNC and we have different guests coming in. | ||
| So that's about it. | ||
| I'll grab a couple super chats before we jump into the next segment, the debate, my friends, raging once again. | ||
| Uh, let's see, is this the, is this, let's, let's see what we've got lined up. | ||
| I want to talk about the CNN blowout victory, but we actually have this one. | ||
| This is not... I didn't line this up properly. | ||
| I want to talk to you about the arguments from classical liberals, how they think we should give in to evil because evil are part of our morals. | ||
| These people fundamentally do not understand moral philosophy. | ||
| The liberals are what allows all of this evil to persist. | ||
| And so that'll be the next segment we jump into. | ||
| In the meantime, I'll grab a couple of your Super Chats. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I see this in the regular chat. | ||
| Someone says, Maynor says, Tim, someone bet 15 million that DJT would tank on Monday. | ||
| I saw that. | ||
| I can't verify it yet. | ||
| The rumor going around is that shorts, short sales were put on DJT stock to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. | ||
| That's pretty wild. | ||
| Because if that's true, it's indicative of foreknowledge of the assassination attempt. | ||
| If Donald Trump dies, DJT stock goes to zero. | ||
| That's just it. | ||
| Truth Social is him. | ||
| I don't know that it's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If it is true... Oh boy. | |
| That's why I haven't, uh, haven't reported on it. | ||
| There's not much I can add to it other than someone posted a screenshot saying, look at this. | ||
| And I asked, uh, I asked my crew if they can see if there's verification for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright, let's go. | |
| Shout out to Jeremy the Quartering in the chat, saying thanks for having me on anytime. | ||
| We're, uh, Friday morning. | ||
| I'm so excited for Friday, Jeremy. | ||
| I love talking about Marvel, Magic, Disney, and all these things, but you can only do it so much on a political show, and people are like, yeah, yeah, we get it, we get it, we get it, but this Friday morning on The Culture War, Jeremy and I will be discussing the breakdown of culture, movies, Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Magic the Gathering, gaming, board games, video games. | ||
| I'm really excited to just like talk about Batman for a little bit and how we can win culturally. | ||
| And that'll be over at Tenet Media on YouTube. | ||
| So subscribe to Tenet Media where we'll have the Culture Wars show. | ||
| That'll be 10 a.m. | ||
| Eastern Time, 9 a.m. | ||
| Central. | ||
| Renegade Mango says, I hate to say this, but if this ever gets tied to Biden, the far, far, far, far, far left could claim this to be an official act by the president to eliminate a threat to democracy. | ||
| Sad thing is many on the left might buy that. | ||
| No, look, I disagree. | ||
| I get what you're saying. | ||
| It is never in the constitutional authority to assassinate a presidential front runner. | ||
| It's just not true. | ||
| The left has argued now that the president has immunity, they could claim it's an official act to take out a candidate. | ||
| No, they can't. | ||
| That's the stupidest thing ever. | ||
| You're just saying that nonsense. | ||
| Nowhere in the Constitution and nowhere in the founding documents where they're like, at some point you might have to- No, get out of here. | ||
| That is not constitutional authority. | ||
| We have amendments. | ||
| We have impeachment process. | ||
| We have procedures lined up in the Constitution for dealing with problems. | ||
| It is called impeachment. | ||
| It is- That's it. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| You impeach, convict, then criminally charge. | ||
| That is our process for dealing with political issues. | ||
| This idea that Democrats are pushing like, oh now you could- No, you can't. | ||
| Alright, we'll grab a couple more before I get into this hot debate. | ||
| I'm really excited for this one because it's got me fired up. | ||
| TokenBlackEye says, howdy people! | ||
| I've been wondering why none of the people who saw the guy tried to stop him. | ||
| If you were there and saw him, would you have tried to stop him? | ||
| No. | ||
| Understand this, my friend. | ||
| They saw him on the rooftop. | ||
| Regular people did not get notified of this guy until he was already on a roof with a gun. | ||
| You have no means of stopping him. | ||
| Law enforcement has to do it. | ||
| You know what's really fascinating though, is I was told a while back that Secret Service, so who are we talking about this with, when the raid on Mar-a-Lago happened, We were told that Secret Service doesn't allow even local law enforcement to have weapons when they're raiding because they need to be in control of who has a weapon around the target, right? | ||
| Around the president. | ||
| In this instance, Secret Service had law enforcement? | ||
| A separate agency? | ||
| Okay, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know enough about Secret Service. | ||
| I have to ask Dan Bongino about it. | ||
| But yeah, I don't think any of us within the two minutes could have done anything. | ||
| He's on a roof already. | ||
| James Eaton highlights again, look at the wave of shorts of DJTBot. | ||
| Saw it, haven't been able to confirm it. | ||
| Inside the waiting room says, Revival is coming. | ||
| When Tim Kest mentions the Lord, you know things are changing. | ||
| I don't think that's fair. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I'd like it to be true. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I have, uh, I grew up Catholic. | ||
| I thought I was an atheist when I was 16, and then my friends told me I was agnostic, and then I went with that, and then when I was 18, I was like, yeah, I believe in God again. | ||
| Like, when I was little, I don't know if I actually believed in God, because I don't know what that meant, or what anybody was really saying, because they never actually explained it properly. | ||
| So naturally, when I started getting older and thinking for myself, I was like, I'm an atheist. | ||
| And of course, you know, with Bill Maher and all that stuff, watching that stuff. | ||
| But then I was like, wait a minute, that doesn't make sense either. | ||
| That's stupid. | ||
| I read some books on physics. | ||
| And after reading a few books on physics, I was like, there's a God. | ||
| I read about the concept of Einsteinian God and things like that. | ||
| I believe that there is a grand design of some sort, but I also believe that that's scientifically proven. | ||
| It's so ridiculous that if you say there's a higher power or grand design or God's plan or whatever, that there are a lot of people who say that, oh, you're crazy, there's no proof. | ||
| I'm like, every day mathematicians and physicists are mapping out the code of the universe and the rules that exist. | ||
| That is to say that What goes up must come down, right? | ||
| I know that's a reference to gravity, but there's not been an instance where one day gravity stopped. | ||
| And even if it did, we'd have to figure out what the code was, the grand design of the universe, which makes that function that way. | ||
| Quite literally, we can witness grand design every single day in science. | ||
| Science is mapping the chemical reactions that happen with complete... | ||
| Like, 100% chance. | ||
| Put it that way. | ||
| Replicative ability, is that the way to describe it? | ||
| We can replicate starting a fire over and over and over again. | ||
| And we can actually understand why it's happening. | ||
| That means there is a rule, there is a rule and a function to the universe, a design, that dictates what happens. | ||
| 1 plus 1 equals 2. | ||
| You can see that. | ||
| And then there are people who are like, yeah, but I don't believe that an entity made it all possible. | ||
| And it's like, okay, the next question is define entity. | ||
| Michael Knowles, shout out, he says, the logos of the universe, that is God. | ||
| Too many of the people who claim to be atheists, and when I was a kid, I thought this, think God is a guy in the clouds. | ||
| Well, that's just silly. | ||
| Read some philosophy and read some theologians and you understand that God is a concept beyond your comprehension, would not just simply be some dude going, But I digress. | ||
| I digress. | ||
| I love talking about religion, too. | ||
| I certainly do believe in God, and I believe in God's plan, and I believe in divine intervention. | ||
| I think that some people don't like the idea of divine intervention because they're thinking of movies and fairy tales of a guy in the clouds and he's like waving his hand and all that stuff and I'm just like... Divine intervention could literally mean that there is a code of the universe which can interact in a certain way that has a guiding force towards an outcome it desires. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| If you believe we live in a simulation, then Divine Intervention is a fail-safe code that says... Here's an example. | ||
| In the video game Fallout 3, you can attack any character you want. | ||
| And many of them die. | ||
| Now you can't interact with them anymore. | ||
| But there are storyline characters in Fallout 3 that if you attack will go unconscious and then wake up and come back to life and you can interact with them again. | ||
| Because if they were to die, the game story can't complete. | ||
| That's divine intervention. | ||
| If you get my point. | ||
| A design preventing something from happening. | ||
| If you believe we're in a simulation or the universe were a bunch of wet robots, then why can you not grasp that concept, right? | ||
| In which case, you're only really arguing the hue of either faith in God or higher power. | ||
| That's what I love about simulation theory. | ||
| It's religion 101 for people who haven't read philosophy and religion. | ||
| We'll grab a couple more here before we jump to the news story at hand. | ||
| And I'm excited about this one, because I've been ragging about it all week, and I will continue. | ||
| Swamp Orangutan says, don't worry, we will learn about what actually happened in about 200 years, when no one remains to remember what happened. | ||
| Maybe, but I think things may be changing. | ||
| I think it could change, right? | ||
| Amtru13 says, did Nikki Haley get a brief about a funeral before the 13th asking for a friend? | ||
| Hmm, no idea, no idea. | ||
| Clint Torres says, Tim, a good book to read that ties in science and the divine is Is Atheism Dead by Eric Metaxas. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Well, I'll check it out. | ||
| But let's do this, my friends. | ||
| Let's talk about cancel culture. | ||
| From the Daily Mail, Kentucky college professor is suspended over unacceptable comment about Trump shooting. | ||
| My oh my, friends, the debate rages on. | ||
| Libs of TikTok highlighting the comments of run-of-the-mill employees at Home Depot and nurses and teachers. | ||
| And my oh my, they're all getting fired. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I'm not sure I'm a fan of going after run-of-the-mill random nobodies from high-profile accounts. | ||
| That's fine, I guess, to make a point of. | ||
| But it has never been. | ||
| It has never been that cancel culture is telling people not to advocate for murder and violence? | ||
| We now have these classical liberal types, these disaffected liberals, former lefties, lamenting that these people are losing their jobs and that people on the right are getting them fired through cancel culture. | ||
| And I believe this is the banality of evil. | ||
| I believe the left, these activists, are abject evil. | ||
| And I believe one of the mill liberals that have defended their evil for a long time is the banality of it. | ||
| The acceptance of commonplace evil actions which destroy the function of society. | ||
| We'll start with this story. | ||
| Who is this year's college professor and what is the argument being made? | ||
| Well, I tell you this, even Elon Musk has chimed in. | ||
| Someone tweeted, you shouldn't wield the power of cancel culture now that you have it because you're just as bad as your enemies and Elon Musk says, I agree. | ||
| But I believe this is the moral, the false equivocation. | ||
| And the lies. | ||
| And it's so perfectly built up by the left. | ||
| The left used to argue that when we were advocating for free speech, when we were trying to play the center and defending conservatives' right to speak, that there's Klansmen and black people. | ||
| And the black people are saying we want rights and the Klansmen are saying they want death. | ||
| And the centrist is making a stupid face and he's like, compromise? | ||
| That's what they're doing now. | ||
| Because it has never been that conservatives were advocating for death. | ||
| And we've never defended that. | ||
| The left lied and argued that conservatives who believed in equality under the law were advocating for racist, discriminatory policies and death. | ||
| But that was a lie. | ||
| We have always opposed advocacy for violence. | ||
| That's been the crux of the argument. | ||
| In 2019, when I sat down with Twitter, I said, hey look, Antifa's advocating violence, ban them. | ||
| And everyone said they should be banned, and they wouldn't be. | ||
| Meanwhile, you got banned for saying learn to code. | ||
| You got banned for citing crime statistics. | ||
| Tommy Robinson and others got banned for calling out child predators on the street. | ||
| That's cancel culture. | ||
| But more to the point, cancel culture was when Sarah Silverman lost her job for doing blackface, and we defend her, that's ridiculous! | ||
| She did it 10 years before she got fired, 10 years ago! | ||
| She's supposed to be in a movie, they fire her, they say, 10 years ago you did blackface, you can't do that. | ||
| She's like, but I did this 10 years ago! | ||
| It's a totally different time! | ||
| Racecar driver lost a sponsor because his dad said a slur in the 80s before he was born. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| John James, an English professor at Bellarmine University, was placed on leave after a post in which he says, if you're gonna shoot, man, don't miss. | ||
| The comment was posted along with the New York Times story reporting that Trump was safe. | ||
| A Catholic university in Louisville said the words and actions condoning violence are unacceptable and contrary to our values, which call for respecting the intrinsic value and dignity of every individual. | ||
| Mr. James' comment, which came after a screenshot taken of an Instagram story, which is designed to disappear in 24 hours, was broadcast by Libs of TikTok, a popular conservative social media account. | ||
| Colin Wright tweets this. | ||
| this. Being against cancel culture matters most when you have the power to | ||
| cancel. As the political right gains more cultural and political power, it's | ||
| important to remain principled. If you claim to be against cancel culture when | ||
| you are powerless and being canceled, but you aren't against it now | ||
| that you have the power, then you were never really against cancel culture. | ||
| My God, help us. | ||
| The argument from these people, it is so vile, it is so deceptive, it is plum wrong. | ||
| Liv Bowery says, Is the woman's Facebook post in bad taste? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Does it warrant international attention? | ||
| Of course not, it had 10 likes. | ||
| Both left and right are being taken over by moralizing authoritarian bullies picking on inconsequential and defenseless individuals for clicks. | ||
| Be better. | ||
| I am playing this game. | ||
| It is an absurdity. | ||
| Here's, uh, let me see if I can refresh this. | ||
| Natalie Danilishan. | ||
| The left and some on the right. | ||
| Oh my god, don't cancel people for their horrible comments about the assassination attempt on Trump. | ||
| Also the left. | ||
| We need to cancel this kid because he smiled. | ||
| I think I might have one more. | ||
| This one is, uh, we gotta refresh these, uh, these, these, these expos. | ||
| People got fired for wearing MAGA hats in their Facebook photo. | ||
| For making the OK hand sign. | ||
| For donating $25 to Kyle Rittenhouse. | ||
| People have been physically assaulted in hundreds of different incidents for supporting Trump opposing BLM in public. | ||
| People have been murdered for supporting Trump. | ||
| There have been hundreds of Trump-related hate crime hoaxes in the past eight years. | ||
| Two-thirds of Democrat voters wanted you put on house arrest for not getting the vaccine. | ||
| Forty-five percent wanted you in a camp. | ||
| No target was ever too minor. | ||
| No offense ever too trivial. | ||
| No shame was ever felt. | ||
| No mercy ever granted. | ||
| There was literally nothing that could make me feel bad about liberals and leftists getting a taste of their own medicine. | ||
| I do not care. | ||
| And I will pause there and we'll wrap it all back. | ||
| It's not a taste of their own medicine. | ||
| I have never advocated for people's opinions to be shut down. | ||
| I have always, always stated that advocacy for violence is the line and should not be allowed. | ||
| I am not a free speech absolutist, nor have I ever claimed to be. | ||
| I have always argued for censorship. | ||
| But let's understand the nuance. | ||
| I am sick of these moral-less individuals. | ||
| They have no morals, and they barely have principles. | ||
| Let's talk about censorship. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Censorship is an official action to suppress images and information. | ||
| I am for this. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because people post snuff and child abuse online, and I believe it is appropriate and good that people like Ian Crossland, when he worked for Minds.com, would intentionally delete those posts to prevent people from sharing them and seeing them. | ||
| That is censorship. | ||
| And you know, it was the good-natured Ian Crosland who alerted me to that point, when we had been saying censorship over and over and over again, forgetting the nuance of what the bigger picture is. | ||
| And Ian said, I worked at Mines, and we had child abuse, and we censored that. | ||
| And I said, OK, well, yeah, that's a good thing, though. | ||
| So what are we concerned about with censorship? | ||
| I'm glad Ian brought that up so we could clarify the nuance in our position. | ||
| What we don't want to see is someone saying, Hey guys, I took a look at FBI crime data and I have questions about why there's a racial disparity. | ||
| I'm not going to tell you what the answer is. | ||
| I'm going to say someone pointed that out. | ||
| You got banned. | ||
| Tommy Robinson famously criticized grooming gangs. | ||
| These are child sexual predators. | ||
| Suspended. | ||
| What? | ||
| Dude, look. | ||
| If you have a political opinion and you're concerned about something, you're allowed to express that opinion. | ||
| Firing someone for saying they like Trump is insane. | ||
| Firing someone for donating to Kyle Rittenhouse is insane. | ||
| However... | ||
| From day one, I have said, yeah, no, if someone's going online and saying, commit an act of violence, we don't support that, ban that. | ||
| To the point, when I was on Joe Rogan's podcast in 2019, which all of these people were like, Tim, you were so good when you called out the censorship machine. | ||
| I said Antifa's advocating for violence and engaging in criminal activity and you let them do it. | ||
| We didn't want them to do it! | ||
| Now, of course, they lied and they claimed I was advocating to get these people banned. | ||
| I didn't tell them to do anything. | ||
| I asked them why one side is allowed to advocate for violence and one side can't say hashtag learn to code. | ||
| And now, where are we? | ||
| Donald Trump nearly died. | ||
| If he did, we're looking at a Franz Ferdinand times ten. | ||
| International conflict, economic crises, the country in shambles, chaos! | ||
| We narrowly averted total social disorder and collapse. | ||
| Narrowly, but for the grace of God, tilting Trump's head forward ever so slightly. | ||
| I don't gotta believe in God. | ||
| I'm just trying to be dramatic. | ||
| These people are going online and they are saying, don't miss, which is a statement to say they support the action and wished it was worse. | ||
| That is advocacy for murder and the destruction of Western civilization and our country. | ||
| That is beyond the minimum of what we were saying shouldn't be allowed. | ||
| When Antifa said, we're going to hold a rally, bring weapons, we were like, they're not literally saying to hit someone with it. | ||
| But we don't think that should be allowed. | ||
| There was never a point where the right was like, no, no, Antifa should be allowed to tell people to bring weapons to a rally and wear all black. | ||
| We were like, no, that's bad. | ||
| They shouldn't do that. | ||
| But you're banning people for saying learn to code. | ||
| That was the big deal. | ||
| Cancel culture. | ||
| The problem with it was, Sarah Silverman was in a movie. | ||
| They fired her because 10 years prior, she did blackface. | ||
| We're like, what are you doing? | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Jimmy Kimmel didn't get fired for doing the same thing. | ||
| It was incongruous rules. | ||
| It was an unequal application of rules. | ||
| It was insane rules. | ||
| That's the problem. | ||
| Twitter had a misgendering policy. | ||
| Adhere to the leftist orthodoxy or you're banned. | ||
| And we said, just to make it even, we weren't arguing for right power. | ||
| A point I made in that podcast. | ||
| If the right had been arguing for their bias, the right would say Twitter should ban anyone who uses the wrong pronouns. | ||
| The left argued, if someone says my preferred pronouns are Zezer and you don't use it, you're banned. | ||
| The right said, hey, just don't ban anybody. | ||
| Let them use the pronouns they want to use. | ||
| That's a neutral position. | ||
| Conservatives don't agree with neopronouns. | ||
| So the conservative position is, ban anyone who uses preferred pronouns. | ||
| Instead, the right argued for the middle ground. | ||
| Let's be neutral on this one. | ||
| Just don't advocate violence! | ||
| And now, I tell you this for Colin Wright, There's only one cancel culture, quote-unquote, happening right now, and that is people going online and saying, quote, next time don't miss. | ||
| Kyle Gass of Tenacious D, he apologized. | ||
| I accept his apology. | ||
| I will stand by that acceptance. | ||
| I don't care how many times you ratio me. | ||
| I will give people that path to redemption. | ||
| Kyle Gass made an awful statement on stage where he said, don't miss Trump next time. | ||
| Next time? | ||
| Not only is he saying do it, he's saying succeed, and he wants it to happen again. | ||
| I reject that. | ||
| Apparently the story is that the insurance company started pulling out, and the venues won't host them without insurance, and so it destroyed their careers. | ||
| I accept their apologies. | ||
| They should be allowed back. | ||
| Other people won't do it. | ||
| That's them. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| But Kyle Gass said, next time. | ||
| There was one guy who got fired from a school. | ||
| He said, next time, don't miss. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| He is telling him to do it again! | ||
| Next time, don't miss? | ||
| You're literally saying, You should engage in this again and succeed. | ||
| I have always opposed that. | ||
| What liberal has ever supported calls for murdering political leaders? | ||
| Some. | ||
| Don't get me wrong. | ||
| But not me. | ||
| Colin Wright, if you want to play this game, and the other people who are agreeing with you, and even Elon Musk, I can only conclude one thing. | ||
| You support leftists' calls for the criminal murder of politicians. | ||
| Oh, what's that? | ||
| You're going to say you don't? | ||
| You don't support that? | ||
| Then why are you defending the people who are advocating for murder and death and criminal activity? | ||
| Honest question. | ||
| When they go online, I don't care if it's Home Depot or a nurse or a teacher or whatever, and they say, next time don't miss... Why are you defending? | ||
| And now, some people have said, it's a shame. | ||
| And that is advocacy for crime, but not a call to action. | ||
| And I argue, that's the line. | ||
| Hard to know where I stand there, because they're not literally saying to do a thing. | ||
| But the people are saying, next time don't miss. | ||
| Oh yeah, no, hard out. | ||
| Like, you're fired, you're done. | ||
| That's advocacy for, that's call to action. | ||
| That's illegal. | ||
| And of a presidential candidate? | ||
| I mean, dude, we're talking about feds knocking on your door at this point. | ||
| There have been people who have done less and got visits from the Secret Service and fined or charged. | ||
| There was a kid who posted rap lyrics and went to jail, let alone people going online and saying, do it again, but this time succeed. | ||
| And now you've got the classical liberals being like, now that we have the power, we're going to take the high road and let people advocate for murder. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| The Krasensteins, you gotta love them. | ||
| The credibly accused fraudsters. | ||
| Credibly accused. | ||
| I'm being facetious, calm down. | ||
| These guys are tweeting out like, you're a hypocrite because you don't support free speech anymore, and I'm like, dude, I never supported calling for murder. | ||
| I never supported celebrating or advocating murder. | ||
| Not gonna happen. | ||
| You can lie all you want, you can play all the stupid games, I've never supported that. | ||
| I have shut down shows of TimCast IRL because people have advocated for murder. | ||
| I have told, and again, I stress this, yes, obviously, because we don't want to get banned is a big reason, but also, I gotta tell you how irksome it is when people say stupid things that will only hurt our cause of truth, justice, and the American way. | ||
| We call it Fed posting for a reason. | ||
| When, what's his face? | ||
| I don't remember the guy. | ||
| Ray Epps? | ||
| Is that his name? | ||
| When he was out on the street before, on January 5th, saying, I'm gonna say it! | ||
| Oh, we should go in! | ||
| They all started chanting, Fed! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fed! | |
| Fed! | ||
| Because nobody agrees with advocating for criminal activity on the right. | ||
| That's never been the cause for free speech. | ||
| Free speech is, you have the right to be an a-hole. | ||
| But what is an a-hole? | ||
| You have a right to have bad opinions. | ||
| That's why I say when someone says, it's a shame and that's all they said, yeah, I think that's the line. | ||
| That, maybe you get a talking to. | ||
| Your boss says, please don't post that stuff, it's gonna cause a lot of problems, okay? | ||
| But someone who says, next time don't miss, which is a lot of what people are saying, it's what Kyle Gass said, that's advocacy. | ||
| That's advocacy for, that's call to action. | ||
| No dice. | ||
| It's just... I just can't stand these people, man. | ||
| The sheer hypocrisy. | ||
| The sheer and absolute hypocrisy. | ||
| It's not even necessarily hypocrisy, I suppose. | ||
| I shouldn't even say it like that. | ||
| It is the banality of evil. | ||
| To explain, when the left were, I don't know, posting pictures of woodchippers that they wanted children thrown into, I'm like, hey, not okay. | ||
| When people on the right say woodchippers, I say, dude, no. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| I don't care what you believe, I don't stand for that. | ||
| But they play these dirty games now where they're trying to defend the left calling for murder, death, and destruction. | ||
| I don't do it. | ||
| I'll pop over to Colin Wright's post, see what else he's got. | ||
| I want to show you this, right? | ||
| This is the famous meme that many of us understand, where we used to be center-left, And then liberals pulled so far left, the center is now to the left of us and we're now on the right. | ||
| Colin Wright is a moral-less liberal. | ||
| That is not meant to be an insult or a dig. | ||
| He is a man without moral. | ||
| He is an atheist. | ||
| Well, I'm assuming he's an atheist. | ||
| Atheists for liberty. | ||
| But he is a man without morals. | ||
| I'd love to take this time to talk to you about morals and principles. | ||
| The principle of free speech is meaningless. | ||
| Because everybody disagrees where the line is. | ||
| Some people think free speech means you can say whatever you want, even advocate for violence. | ||
| And I'm like, hmm. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, I kind of draw the line on that one because my concern with that is quite literally people standing in front of a giant angry mob and then yelling, get him! | ||
| And then they do. | ||
| Like, you're kind of a part of that mob. | ||
| So I've got limits. | ||
| But those limits aren't based on principle. | ||
| They're based on morals. | ||
| And so let's talk about morals, when you don't have any. | ||
| When you don't have any morals, you'll say, everyone should be allowed to say anything. | ||
| Now to be fair, to be fair... | ||
| The free speech absolutists actually may come from a moral position. | ||
| That so long as you don't take the action yourself, it's not your fault. | ||
| Only those who take the physical action. | ||
| That could be based on morality. | ||
| But I think Colin doesn't have morals. | ||
| So in his mind, he's like, it is bad that people on the right are holding a standard for what they want for society. | ||
| I don't want to live in that society, dude. | ||
| I don't want to live in a society where evil people get away with evil and bash you in the face with bricks, but then you're like, well, we have to let them because we believe in the right to bash with bricks. | ||
| The argument I gave the other day, I said, let's talk about the Second Amendment, right? | ||
| You got a right to keep and bear arms, don't you? | ||
| Do you have a right to shoot somebody? | ||
| No, you don't. | ||
| Well, hold on. | ||
| You do not have a right, for no reason, to shoot somebody. | ||
| You have a right to defend yourself if your life or the lives of others are being threatened. | ||
| If you were being shot at, and you were taking cover behind a rock, and you couldn't get up because you were pinned down, would you then say, damn, I can't get up, I'm stuck, I'm in a dangerous position, and I may die, but I can't fire back because he has a right to keep and bear arms? | ||
| No! | ||
| That's stupid! | ||
| Why is free speech any different? | ||
| Someone is advocating for murder, death, and destruction, and you're sitting there as he's pointing at people saying, get him! | ||
| Do this! | ||
| Do that! | ||
| I want to see it! | ||
| Do this! | ||
| And you're like, damn! | ||
| He's rallying a large group of people to come and kill me, but I shouldn't be able to do anything about it because I believe in free speech. | ||
| What? | ||
| No! | ||
| That's where I draw the line morally. | ||
| If a guy came up and said, I don't think anyone should hurt you. | ||
| We're going to debate the ideas and if my idea wins and everyone votes for me, I win. | ||
| That is a moral society I want to live in. | ||
| I don't want to live in a society where we have to tolerate the far left planning, advocating for, and engaging in violence because we believe in free speech or the second amendment. | ||
| It doesn't make any sense. | ||
| You do not give stones to the people throwing stones at you. | ||
| Now, others have made it more simple. | ||
| I've said, I'm not going to defend communists who have tried to tear down my system and destroy me. | ||
| I am not going to go to the city walls where people are bashing with a hammer and be like, they got a right to swing hammers. | ||
| What am I supposed to do? | ||
| I'm going to say, stop hitting my wall! | ||
| You're not coming in! | ||
| Inside here, nobody hits each other with hammers. | ||
| But these are the moral limits. | ||
| Some people think nobody should have guns. | ||
| Well, my morals are based on, to a great degree, the Christian moral tradition, because that's how I was raised, but also because I think these things lend themselves to a functioning, efficient system, and the success of humanity, and that's what I want to see. | ||
| I want to see humans grow, thrive, succeed, and I believe that modern interpretations of Christian moral teachings do great Do wonders to lead us in those directions. | ||
| You don't got to believe in God to recognize why honoring your father and your mother is functionally important. | ||
| You don't want to lose the ties to the past where you've learned how to succeed and survive. | ||
| And when you do, your society fails and humans fail. | ||
| But it's also, it's just plainly about efficiency. | ||
| How do we maximize free motion of individuals? | ||
| We have boundaries. | ||
| That's a reality. | ||
| You know, I love the saying, those that would give up essential liberty for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both. | ||
| But I do believe that you have to entertain the conversation a bit deeper than that. | ||
| Do you want walls around your village? | ||
| Walls are restrictive. | ||
| You can't just climb over them, you've got to walk around, but they're also protective. | ||
| And so the issue is, I lean towards freedom over security. | ||
| We should have substantially more freedom and substantially less security. | ||
| We should all have the right to keep and bear arms to defend ourselves and take responsibility for our safety. | ||
| But some security is good. | ||
| I'm okay with that. | ||
| I'm not an anarchist. | ||
| I think some government is good. | ||
| Just got to make sure we watch out for corruption and have a proper functioning apparatus for weeding out that corruption every so often, which is very difficult to do. | ||
| It's tough. | ||
| But I think the people who are just completely absolutist in these regards are wrong. | ||
| And they advocate for things that ultimately will cause harm. | ||
| Heidi Brown says, Cancel culture is cringe on the left and cringe on the right. | ||
| Let people have their ishy opinions and still be able to feed their family. | ||
| It's not a W to get someone fired from their customer service job while you make thousands of dollars on average out of a new doc saying them. | ||
| I think it is an absurdity that you all are literally defending people who are advocating for murder. | ||
| Again, I don't know that I care about some Home Depot worker posting on Facebook. | ||
| I don't know why I'm not going to chase that down. | ||
| I'm also not going to criticize libs of TikTok, and I'm not going to defend this person who called for murder. | ||
| It's just like, guys, what's your moral line? | ||
| Honest question. | ||
| You think it's okay that people go online and say someone should go kill someone else? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't agree with that. | ||
| The right has never been about that. | ||
| The left is accused the right of saying these things, but they never did. | ||
| You're talking about Kyle Gass? | ||
| He said, next time, don't miss. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| You say it's a joke. | ||
| Reminder that doxing people to get them fired from their jobs and cancelling comedians for jokes is just as wrong | ||
| now as it was when the other side was doing it to you. | ||
| You're talking about Kyle Gass? He said, next time don't miss. I get it. | ||
| You say it's a joke. But I tell you my moral limit. | ||
| When a group of far leftists are standing with masks and torches, and you walk out in front of that group and go, I | ||
| got a funny joke for you. | ||
| Hey everybody, start attacking that guy. | ||
| He's the reason your life is being destroyed and he wants to hurt your families. | ||
| I'd be like, ooh. | ||
| I get it, but there's a group of angry people with weapons behind you. | ||
| So maybe there is a contextual or moral line where we say, don't advocate for murder. | ||
| Tragedy plus time. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Kyle Gass made a joke. | ||
| He did. | ||
| It's an inappropriate one because right now there are people who are legitimately calling for murder. | ||
| Kyle Gass does not want Trump dead. | ||
| I think that's silly and absurd. | ||
| I like Tenacious D. I accept his apology. | ||
| I say, welcome back guys, and you can disagree with me. | ||
| But the problem with it is, Kyle Gass went on stage in front of thousands of people and the internet and said, next time don't miss Trump. | ||
| And there are people who genuinely are trying to not miss Trump. | ||
| That just happened. | ||
| So, um, there is an appropriate time for certain kinds of jokes. | ||
| If there is no real threat, and you say something like, go take an action, we can maybe roll our eyes and say, wow, that was edgy. | ||
| But when, quite literally, we narrowly escaped the collapse of Western civilization, ah, it's a bit dramatic, but the collapse of our economy, our political state, Maybe don't say, please go do it again. | ||
| Yeah, that's just not appropriate. | ||
| And when he apologized, I accept it. | ||
| The Home Depot won't apologize. | ||
| I accept it. | ||
| If any one of these people apologize, I accept it. | ||
| That's not cancel culture. | ||
| Cancel culture was destroy their lives for ridiculous reasons. | ||
| The editor-in-chief of the Daily Caller tweeted out Learn to Code in a descriptive way and got suspended. | ||
| An executive at Netflix was describing racial slurs for HR and they fired the guy! | ||
| We ain't talking about that. | ||
| Stop claiming that when we are mad about people calling for murder, it's the same as when they fired the Netflix guy for describing racial slurs. | ||
| Insanity. | ||

| Let's, um, let's pull up this great segment. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| And I'll play that clip for you. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Game idea says there's a difference between the left and liberals. | ||
| There's a difference between the right and conservatives. | ||
| One side has principles and open minds, while the other is a cult with no free thought or will. | ||

| Donald Trump vows to be a dictator on day one. | ||

| Like ice. | ||

|
This. | |
| This one's the line, for me. | ||
| I don't think it should be banned or taken down. | ||
| I believe this is where we talk about free speech. | ||
| I don't believe someone should be banned for passively saying, oh won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest. | ||
| But if you say, oh won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest, while a group of people are aiming weapons at him, and he's cornered, and then you say, because he's evil and he must be stopped or we'll die, we'll die now, okay guys, hey, maybe that's the line. | ||
| Saying Donald Trump vows to be a dictator and he must be stopped? | ||
| Nah. | ||
| It's bad. | ||
| But it's allowed. | ||
| It's just the problem is it's a gradient. | ||
| There's no easy thin line to cross. | ||
| I'm sorry, there's just not. | ||
| Let's read what else you got and then we'll grab this last segment. | ||
| Let's see, Mountain Dew Man says, Do you think the left's next move to criticize Trump's support of the NRA after the assassination attempt and push for extreme gun ban? | ||
| No, I think they have to avoid talking about the assassination. | ||
| They want to censor that image of Trump with his fist raised high because it makes him look powerful. | ||
| They don't want to keep highlighting this. | ||
| They want to move on. | ||
| That's why they're claiming it was glass that hit him and not a bullet, which is ridiculous. | ||
| That's why they're trying to lie about what really happened. | ||
| That's why they're posting fake photos of him with no injury to his ear. | ||
| They're liars. | ||
| HallsAndTheKid, what up, says, YouTube is heavily censoring this. | ||
| I've been trying to super chat for 10 minutes and rewriting it any way I can to keep getting blocked. | ||
| I give up. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Of course they're censoring it. | ||
| They control the narrative machine. | ||
| They only allow what they allow. | ||
| But I guess they like me because I'm telling people to stop advocating for murder! | ||
| Dude! | ||
| That's so stupid. | ||
| There's a reason why people are getting banned. | ||
| There's a reason why they're getting fired. | ||
| We all should agree, socially, don't advocate for murder. | ||
| Oh man, I gotta- I didn't even get into the Destiny stuff. | ||
| Destiny played a clip of me and he said I had no principles because I said we should use the legal apparatus to go after criminals. | ||
| And he's like, he's got no principles! | ||
| Like, as if I'm being hypocritical. | ||
| I'm like, what do you mean? | ||
| I'm saying, if someone breaks the law, use the criminal apparatus to arrest and charge them, hold a trial to prove it and have real evidence, and then we will lock them up. | ||
| Thank you and have a nice day. | ||
| Laura Loomer, of course, then said, and the death penalty. | ||
| Well, even to her point, like, she's talking about evidence that proves someone committed treason, and the death penalty is warranted according to the law. | ||
| It's in the law. | ||
| Now, what did I do? | ||
| I took the show down. | ||
| I said no to that, because I have values. | ||
| You can't say that stuff. | ||
| Like, we are trying to de-escalate the rhetoric. | ||
| The idea that me saying, don't come on my show and advocate for death, Shows I have no principles proves these people have no principles. | ||
| Like, I'm willing to take a show down because someone said, even the death penalty, and I'm like, no, you can't do that. | ||
| We gotta tone things down, guys. | ||
| In the after show I said, I agree that the law states the penalty for treason is death. | ||
| It could be as low as 10 years in prison or like a fine or something like that. | ||
| But I don't think we should be going on shows and advocating for any of that stuff. | ||
| I think we need to keep temperatures calm because we want to be passionate but calm, reasoned individuals who can run a functioning society and prove the merits of our leadership. | ||
| But let's get it ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Mediaite reports Donald Trump is on track for a blowout. | ||
| 330 electoral vote lead. | ||
| We got it right here. | ||
| Oh boy, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We got this post from Modernity News. | ||
| Even CNN admits Trump is on course for a historic landslide victory in November and could get as many as 330 electoral votes. | ||
| Only 270 are needed to win. | ||
| Let's roll tape and then we'll talk about it. | ||
|

|
Joe Biden won and he won big. | |
| That was that. | ||
| 306 to 232. | ||
| But this is our current CNN projection of where we are now. | ||
| And look at this. | ||
| If Donald Trump won, what we have here, dark red states, solid Republican. | ||
| Light red states, leaning Republican. | ||
| If he won just those right there, he would already have the path to 270. | ||
| He would have 272 electoral votes. | ||
| So right now, the map they're showing has Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania as toss-ups. | ||
| Trump still wins. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is different? | |
| We have Wisconsin as a toss-up. | ||
| We have Pennsylvania as a toss-up. | ||
| Two critical states for Joe Biden. | ||
| Michigan right now, another critical state for Biden. | ||
| Leaning Republican. | ||
| Georgia, a state Biden flipped. | ||
| Leaning Republican. | ||
| Arizona, a toss-up state. | ||
| That was a state Biden flipped. | ||
| Nevada, a state he won leaning Republican. | ||
| This is the dire strait for Joe Biden right now on the first night of the Republican Convention. | ||
| Tomorrow is 16 weeks to Election Day. | ||
| 16 weeks from tomorrow, we count the votes. | ||
| It is tough to change a map like this in that amount of time. | ||
| And here's why Democrats are so worried. | ||
| Why so many Democrats are saying, Mr. President, please reconsider and get out of this race. | ||
| Because right now, Trump is leading here. | ||
| And Trump is leading here. | ||
| So here and here, that's Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. | ||
| They're updating the map in real time to show that Trump has taken the lead in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's leading here, narrowly, but he's ahead in those states. | |
| So he's now at 301 in this analysis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump is leading here. | |
| Leading in Arizona. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's 312 electoral votes. | |
| Trump is leading in this Nebraska congressional district. | ||
| Let me change it that way. | ||
| Nebraska does it by congressional district. | ||
| That's 313 electoral votes. | ||
| And Democrats are warning that Trump may not be well ahead. | ||
| It may still be margin of error. | ||
| It might be a tie. | ||
| But right now, Trump is competitive here. | ||
| That's blue Virginia. | ||
| That's blue New Hampshire. | ||
| So the warnings to the White House are Donald Trump could conceivably, if the current dynamics in the race hold, get 330 or more electoral votes. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| That's what they believe. | ||
| Now, if you're a Democrat, if you're in the Biden White House, yes, there are 16 weeks to Election Day. | ||
| So, can it be done? | ||
| Come back to this. | ||
| Can it be done? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But it's a very narrow path for Joe Biden. | ||
| He must win this. | ||
| He must change this. | ||
| Michigan has to go blue and he must win this. | ||
| Okay, so if he wins New Hampshire, if he wins Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, he still only has 269 electoral votes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That number. | |
| Even if he did that, won the three blue wall states, he's at 269. | ||
| So he either has to get Arizona on Nevada back or get Georgia back and win the Nebraska congressional district. | ||
| So Joe Biden has essentially one, maybe two, narrow paths to 270. | ||
| So that's it. | ||
| I do not see a Joe Biden path to victory. | ||
| Things can change. | ||
| You take a look at this. | ||
| We are still in the pre-assassination polling stages. | ||
| Betting odds show Donald Trump spiked massively. | ||
| He's up 10 points in the betting odds. | ||
| Let me pull up the RealClearPolitics Presidential polling. | ||
| Let's see, do we have this one? | ||
| We gotta pull up the old Trump v. Biden, which is, let me grab it down here. | ||
| I think we got it right here. | ||
| Trump is up 2.5. | ||
| So far, we have two post-assassination... Actually, I'm sorry, we have one post-assassination poll. | ||
| Reuters-Ipsos, with Trump up two points. | ||
| Frank Luntz says, we're gonna see one to two points. | ||
| I know we've been covering it all week. | ||
| Or the equivalent of that, with voter turnout. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| My friends, you gotta turn out. | ||
| We're four months out. | ||
| This is why they want to suppress the photo of Donald Trump raising his fist. | ||
| Because it's the truth. | ||
| We are three, just about three and three quarters, three and a half months away from the election. | ||
| Will you remember what Donald Trump did? | ||
| You know? | ||
| Depends on what his ear looks like. | ||
| Not trying to be silly or disrespectful. | ||
| If Donald Trump's ear is scarred, there will never be a moment where people will forget. | ||
| Every time he speaks and turns his head and looks and you see the scar on his ear, you will be reminded that this man survived an assassination attempt and came back to work to campaign. | ||
| The question is, is four months, will people maintain that fervor for three to four months more? | ||
| That's why I said on Twitter, if Donald Trump can take a bullet for you, you can take the time to go vote for him. | ||
| He showed up on Monday for work. | ||
| I absolutely love this. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| I was like, dude, we'd be okay if you took a day off, right? | ||
| He did. | ||
| He took Sunday. | ||
| But I'm just like, you can take some time off to heal and not have the bandage and, you know. | ||
| Ah, he showed up for work on the next day. | ||
| So did his kids. | ||
| Respect. | ||
| Absolute respect. | ||
| Will you show him the same respect on Election Day? | ||
| If the answer is yes, he can't lose. | ||
| And now I tell you this. | ||
| Here's my fears. | ||
| My fear is that Donald Trump does bad. | ||
| He's not going to be the president we hope he is. | ||
| He's got even Luke Rudkowski wearing a t-shirt saying convicted felon for president. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because we cannot deny it. | ||
| I don't like the Republican Party. | ||
| I don't like the Democratic Party. | ||
| I think Donald Trump made tremendous errors in his first term, but you can't deny it. | ||
| He is a net positive. | ||
| There are certainly people who love Trump, and they say he's the God Emperor, and he's the greatest president of all time, and I'm just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, guys. | ||
| Like, have those opinions are fine. | ||
| I don't agree. | ||
| Donald Trump is just the only good president I've ever seen. | ||
| He's the only good president I've ever seen. | ||
| You know, look. | ||
| I've worked with cafe managers, okay? | ||
| Everybody's got their pros and their cons. | ||
| There's no Superman. | ||
| Even Superman in the comic books has flaws and comes upon conundrums and questions that he can't answer. | ||
| The idea that Donald Trump's gonna go in and whack every mole and get a perfect score, like he's gonna walk in, bowl a perfect game, then he's gonna go play beer pong and nail every cup first, come on! | ||
| You can be good at bowling. | ||
| Professional bowlers don't get perfect games every single time. | ||
| I look at Donald Trump and I say, 51%. | ||
| I'll take it. | ||
| Peace agreements. | ||
| And so this is my point. | ||
| Right now it's looking like he's going to win. | ||
| And he should win. | ||
| Not because he's perfect. | ||
| Not because he's God Emperor. | ||
| Not because he's going to save America. | ||
| Not because he's going to be marginally good. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I think it is absurd that people would make the argument it's going to be a renaissance, a revolution. | ||
| Trump's going to be a marginally good president. | ||
| We're hoping for some law enforcement action for the corrupt elements that have been trying to subvert our system, that have gotten away with breaking the law. | ||
| And I hope he enacts some simple policies on maybe he'll audit the Fed. | ||
| Maybe he probably won't. | ||
| I gotta be completely honest. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| He's not going to come in and abolish the Fed. | ||
| He's not going to dismantle all these agencies. | ||
| He's advocated for building a new FBI building. | ||
| He's going to be a marginally good president. | ||
| I look at the foreign policy plans and I say, yeah, good. | ||
| I look at peace agreements attempts with North Korea, I say good. | ||
| I look at Bolton, bad. | ||
| Drone strikes, bad. | ||
| Commando rates, bad. | ||
| But he'll do well. | ||
| He'll do well. | ||
| So even someone like me that hates the Republican Party and the Democratic Party and the Libertarians, you know, I like you guys, but you're too goofy. | ||
| And even someone like Luke, who Luke has just been anarchist, anti-government. | ||
| We're both now being like, yeah, Trump. | ||
| I know I said this to Dave Smith, who should have been the Libertarian candidate. | ||
| And he's anti-Trump. | ||
| He's critical of him. | ||
| I was like, dude, I get all of the criticism of Trump. | ||
| But like, if your opportunity right now is A president who has shown you he will have good foreign policy. | ||
| Not perfect. | ||
| Not the best. | ||
| Marginally good. | ||
| Take it. | ||

Right? | |
| What I don't like... I don't like voting for the lesser of two evils. | ||
| I wouldn't do that. | ||
| That's why I didn't vote in 2016 against Hillary and Trump. | ||
| Because I just saw Trump as another... It's another game. | ||
| I'm not going to fall for it. | ||
| You've got to prove to me you'll do it. | ||
| So I didn't vote. | ||
| Then I saw the first term. | ||
| They lied, they cheated, they stole. | ||
| They accused Trump of all these insane things, and I'm like, this is nuts! | ||
| And then I saw what Trump did, and I was like, I would be a liar if I said it doesn't make sense. | ||
| And so I voted for him in 2020, and he lost. | ||
| Now you can argue he won the argument, convincing more people he was the right choice, but Democrats won the ballot harvesting. | ||
| And the shadow campaign, they called it. | ||
| So I tell you this. | ||
| I look at his next term, I look at the path that he's on, and I tell you why he's on that path. | ||
| Because when you've got Luke Rudkowski of We Are Change to wear a shirt saying convicted felon for president, you know That he's won over some of the U.S.' | ||
| 's most ardent critics. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Guys, you don't like Trump. | ||
| Deal. | ||
| You're allowed not to. | ||
| You think his domestic policy is bad. | ||
| Have at it. | ||
| But he's going to give you one big thing that you've been asking for for 20 or 30 years. | ||
| No new wars. | ||
| And timelines for withdrawal. | ||
| That's what I said to Dave Smith. | ||
| I was like, if you're going to get Biden or Romney, I can understand why you say this is ridiculous. | ||
| But if you're going to get Trump or Biden, you might go, all right, I'll bite my tongue and I'll vote for him because he's going to make important moves in foreign policy. | ||
| That's why he's winning. | ||
| Also, because he's proven he's strong. | ||
| He really is. | ||
| So I respect that, I really do. | ||
| And I'm glad to see it. | ||
| I think by next week, the numbers are going to be apocalyptic for Joe Biden. | ||
| And swapping out at this point would be a waste of time. | ||
| J.D. | ||
| Vance will be speaking tonight at the RNC, so he's going to have to crank things up and get the job done. | ||

| Mr. Dysad says, shout out to Peter Navarro, who is now free! | ||
| Here, here. | ||
| Hopefully I'll get to see him and shake that man's hand. | ||
| That would be fantastic. | ||
| Gunslinger says, do you think the popular vote coalition states will actually vote Trump if he wins the popular vote? | ||
| I don't think they will. | ||
| They won't. | ||
| Could you imagine? | ||
| So, uh, they don't yet have the electoral votes to enact the pact, but the idea is once enough states sign on to a popular vote coalition, they all vote whoever wins the popular vote nationally. | ||
| There's pros and there's cons there. | ||
| It could mean that Republicans in California who don't vote because they think it's a waste of time end up voting. | ||
| It could backfire on Democrats. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| The electoral vote benefits Democrats in a lot of ways because they bring in illegal immigrants to bolster their congressional seat count and their electoral vote count. | ||
| Agast Venus says, Tim, watch some Bible studies from Chuck Missler. | ||
| He did a fantastic job of explaining the science in the Bible as well as the political history of biblical events. | ||
| What I love about simulation theory, because I've talked to Seamus about this, is that a lot of the ideas of simulation, simulism, it's like the first thing they teach you in religion class when you're a little kid. | ||
| You know? | ||
| And they're like, this universe we're in is some kind of simulation construct created by an advanced race, and it's like, hold on there a minute. | ||
| That's creationism! | ||
| One of my favorite things is dinosaur bones. | ||
| I remember growing up, the argument atheists would be like, Christians believe that dinosaur bones were put underground by God as a test of your faith. | ||
| That's silly. | ||
| It is silly. | ||
| I don't believe that's the actual argument most Christians have about dinosaur bones, to be fair. | ||
| That concept. | ||
| The argument made by atheists is a straw man. | ||
| But my point is this. | ||
| Do you believe sim- You're an atheist, right? | ||
| Okay, do you believe simulation theory is plausible? | ||
| Like, we are in some kind of simulated universe? | ||
| Elon Musk and Bezos and all these other people talk about it. | ||
| You do? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You ever play GTA? | ||
| Grand Theft Auto? | ||
| When you go into Liberty City, did you watch the little GTA man build the skyscraper? | ||
| You didn't. | ||
| You mean you turned the game on and it was just there? | ||
| The skyscraper itself was designed in a computer programming environment by a creator? | ||
| So let me tell you this. | ||
| When you look at dinosaur bones and you believe that simulation theory is possible, could it not be that the simulation just has dinosaur bones underground for the sake of narrative or something? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You get the point. | ||
| If the universe was created 5,000 years ago and we're in a simulation, uh-huh. | ||
| Play the game Civilization. | ||
| The game starts and the world has got no people on it, no buildings, and then you advance technology and build cities, and the clock counts thousands of years and then there's big cities. | ||
| You know? | ||
| But the Earth, as it was, was created in a coding environment with procedural, uh, with a procedural algorithm. | ||
| So I'm not saying I know for sure, I'm just saying, if we do live in a simulation, then creationism is entirely plausible to these atheists. | ||
| You pick. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| We'll just grab a couple more here, we'll grab a couple more here. | ||
| X says, the play is Texas, and the fact it's illegal to check citizenship at any stage in the voting process. | ||
| Remember the funny numbers. | ||

You betcha. | |

| And let's see, Gamer Girl says, don't count your votes before they are counted. | ||
| Polls mean nothing in 2016. | ||
| Polls had Hillary at 99.9%. | ||
| Time Magazine was ready to print the Madam President cover. | ||
| Then Trump won. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Everybody has to go out, cast their votes, knock on doors, and advocate for the man who just took a bullet for you. | ||
