tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I just want to start by reading the headline here.
		Trump orders thousands of IRS agents to be sent to southern border to remove illegal immigrants.
		Now, a lot of people were hoping or expecting that this was going to be 88,000 IRS agents.
		In fact, it is only 2,100 IRS agents that are trained in law enforcement.
		And right off the bat.
		It seems rather troll-y, right?
		Like Trump is saying, you know what?
		You want IRS agents?
		I got an idea for you.
		Go enforce the border.
		But I think this is actually, I don't think this is a joke.
		I don't think Trump is sitting there laughing, though the thumbnail we have is Trump laughing because it is funny.
		I think Trump's taking this very seriously.
		There's been reports that Trump is quite upset that deportation numbers are not higher, despite the fact they are insanely high.
		Running the average numbers, It looks like as of now, with only a couple of weeks in, the deportation levels are comparable to the entirety of past years, which is crazy, but largely because Biden was like not really deporting anybody.
		But in only a couple of weeks, we may be looking at hundreds of thousands of deportations, though it is just estimates.
		No, I think Trump has been upset because he wants the deportation issue done.
		He wants the illegal immigration done.
		And it's not getting done fast enough.
		So he says, where can we pull law enforcement to have them work on this federal issue?
		And the IRS has some trained law enforcement officers.
		That being said, if the IRS has around 2000 and Trump is ordering all of them, there's going to be a lot of people engaged in tax crimes who are not going to be investigated or arrested.
		And I don't know, maybe the libertarians are going to cheer for that one.
		There's a lot going on here beyond just this.
		Of course, the American people are quite happy.
		The other major component here is, well, it's now been stated by Kristi Noem, as well as Tom Homan, that it appears the FBI has been leaking details of immigration raids to the press.
		Many people online are saying this is treason.
		This is aiding and abetting foreign nationals who are violating our laws, some serious criminals.
		And the information's been released to the press on more than one occasion.
		They are now threatening the DHS to go after these leakers, charge them.
		On top of that, we got a lot of big stories coming out of New York, of course, all over the country.
		But you may have heard the news.
		Elon Musk found $59 million being sent to luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in defiance of Trump's executive order as the president.
		So these individuals involved in that are going to be fired.
		Good.
		I love how these Democrats come out shocked as though the administrative state has powers above the president.
		It is shocking and insane.
		They believe that bureaucrats have more rights and more authority than the people we elect to run these departments.
		You know, we've got a lot happening in this country.
		Elon Musk and Doge being barred by this judge and the argument for the judge being what?
		That But bureaucrats who were hired, subordinates of the political appointees, have more authority to access documents than the appointees themselves?
		That seems to make absolutely no sense.
		So we're going to tear this one apart.
		We're going to go through all of this news, my friends.
		Talk about what's currently going on with the IRS, immigration, and big news.
		This is an administrative revolution.
		You know, Eric Weinstein said it was an administrative coup.
		No, no, no.
		What did he say?
		Civil war.
		Sorry, he didn't say it.
		He said civil war.
		Many Democrats have said this is a coup.
		I'm going to tell you plainly, my friends, this is what we voted for.
		And Democrats are obstructing it.
		But yeah, once again, I call this Donald Trump's march to the sea on the deep state.
		He is gutting their institutions, ripping their power to shreds, and they are panicked and desperately trying to stop him.
		But we voted for it.
		So you get this judge ruling that Elon Musk and Doge have no access to Treasury files and documents.
		How are we supposed to audit, have an external audit of these expenditures unless external elements, government employees, are allowed to go in and review these payments?
		And the Democrats are making the argument that Elon Musk is trying to get your Social Security number.
		Elon Musk ran PayPal and...
		A bunch of other big tech platforms.
		He can probably get all your information anyway.
	And furthermore, why do I care that it's Elon Musk?
	See, this is the important thing about that story.
	The governments and these bureaucrats and these corrupt, biased individuals that we don't even know already have your private information.
	I'm supposed to be upset that one more guy Elon Musk does?
	You see, what they're playing, the game they're playing is Elon Musk equals bad guy.
	That's it.
	Then they go, hey, remember bad guy?
	He's going to get your information.
	Is that the only reason I'm supposed to be mad?
	Well, I like Elon Musk, okay?
	I say it all the time because these people are cultists.
	I don't think he's a perfect guy.
	I think he does a lot of good stuff.
	That's great.
	I'm a fan.
	You know, we can criticize him for where we need to criticize him, maybe H-1B or whatever.
	And this one guy...
	Going into government and maybe being able to see private information, I'm just like, yo, there's 3,000 people I don't know reading all of my information right now.
	Why am I crying about Elon Musk being one extra guy?
	These people are nuts.
	They're liars.
	It's a cult.
	But let's talk about the news, my friends.
	We have this story from the Daily Mail, and we're going to break down sending the IRS to enforce the border.
	How fun is that?
	Before we get started, my friends, of course, head over to castbrew.com.
	Pick up a bag of Stand Your Grounds.
	We've got to do more to promote the amazing coffees we have.
	If you like Appalachian Nights, you're probably going to like Stand Your Grounds.
	A medium roast, however, not as dark.
	Which means we're probably going to have a little bit more caffeine, but getting rave reviews, rave reviews.
	So our flagships, we have the Rise of the Berto Jr. Light Roast, Stand Your Grounds Medium, and Appalachian Nights Dark.
	And look, we shouted Ian's Graphene Dreaming Off.
	That stuff sells like crazy.
	But I recommend you guys try out our Stand Your Grounds.
	We do have Decaf, we have Sleepy Joe, and we have Unwoke.
	Also, head over to TimCast.com, click the Green Room link in the description below, and y'all are going to love this one.
	By all means, as I stated last night on IRL, the episode is, of course, on Rumble.
	I said, if you want something more substantive, check out the Nick Oaks conversation with Ian, where Nick explains what it was like being a J6-er who was tortured by the government for years.
	Literal torture.
	And you can listen to that one.
	It's very interesting.
	Shortly after Milo showed up, and then it became wacky and more fun.
	And so Milo took issue with me calling Nick Oaks's more substantive.
	And I said, OK, how about this?
	More serious and yours is more entertaining.
	But we have two Green Room episodes that went up last night.
	Become a member at TimCast.com.
	Get access to the Discord server.
	Check out those behind-the-scenes conversations.
	The Milo one was wild.
	We're filming the pre-show for, like, pre-production for TimCast IRL, getting all set up.
	And then, of course, that conversation.
	So the Green Room show is getting rave reviews, of course, behind the scenes at Timcast.
	We're going to be ramping this up and adding more, more and more behind-the-scenes conversations and shows because we realized this, you know, a while ago.
	And I was upset that the Green Room went on hiatus when it did because I didn't even realize.
	That's my fault.
	But when the guests show up, conversations are happening.
	They're real interesting.
	And I'm like, man, that's probably not going to make the main show because we talk news.
	Go to TimCast.com, become a member.
	But for now, let's jump to the story and then start discussing the latest in how immigration is being handled.
	From the Daily Mail, President Trump wants to send IRS agents to the Mexico border to remove illegal immigrants.
	The tax agents will be deputized to help arrest, attain and transport people out of the country.
	Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in a memo.
	Asked Treasury Secretary Scott Besant to make the move to have IRS agents assist with immigration enforcement across the country.
	I absolutely love this.
	This is absolutely hilarious.
	Noem said a department needed to help in order to implement Trump's executive order to secure the southern border and enforce the immigration laws.
	In the memo dated February 7th, Noem wrote...
	It is DHS's understanding that the Department of Treasury has qualified law enforcement personnel available to assist with immigration enforcement, especially in light of recent increases to the Internal Revenue Services workforce and budget.
	Having a good time yet?
	So, basically, the Democrats hire on all of these IRS agents, and now Trump and his administration are like, we got people.
	Let's use them.
	News Nation reports.
	President Donald Trump has requested DHS send IRS agents to assist with immigration enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border.
	The request is part of Trump's effort to ramp up mass deportations.
	Despite border czar Tom Homan and Noem receiving his vote of confidence over the weekend, sources tell NewsNation that Trump is unhappy with the early results of his immigration crackdown and wants to see more enforcement.
	You know, let's pull up deportations by year.
	I want to see what we get when we...
	Here we go.
	Interesting.
unidentified		Well, let's pull up this graph right here.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Trump is upset, they say.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, from the DHS stats, going back to 1892...
unidentified		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's go back to 1892. 2,801 illegal aliens were removed from the country.
		You can see back in the 1800s, it was only a few thousand, and it started to increase.
		In 1916, it was 21,000.
		Look at all these deportations.
		Very low in the 40s.
		Maybe World War II had something to do with that.
		Let's see when we hit our first six-figure number.
		Look at this.
		It was 1997. In 1996, 69,680 illegal aliens were removed.
		And in the following year, it was 114,000.
		Oh, I suppose removal means they're not going back to their home country?
		I don't know.
		Okay, so it actually was higher, I think, if you combine them both.
		So the first time we crossed over 100,000, that would appear to be, I think, oh, wow, 19, oh, holy crap, 1954, one million returns.
		Is that, I'm assuming return means people just chose to leave, is that what it is?
		Aliens removed or returned?
		No, returned would imply that they were pushed out.
		In 2019, the number was 359,885, with 171,000 returned.
		The numbers were massive.
		Under Barack Obama, in some years, actually higher than Donald Trump.
		That's true.
		They called Obama the deporter-in-chief.
		Indeed, they did.
		When we jump over to our friend over at ChatGPT, we can take a look at deportations by year.
		Now, this is asserting...
		I found this to be pretty interesting because this is estimates, right?
		So if you go to 2017, you can see it's 285,000.
		Let's pull up DHS and see what we got here.
		2017, yeah, 287,000.
		So it's right around there, right?
		And then you can take a look at 2018 a little bit more, 2019 a little bit more.
		2020 was low.
		That was a COVID year.
		2021 comparable, if slightly below where Trump was.
		Now 2023. We see this massive jump to 1,085,000 deportations.
		And you may be thinking, that sounds pretty good, like Joe Biden did something.
		In fact, not really.
		That was the expiration of Title 42, where we ended up having people who had some kind of protected status lose their status, and then all of a sudden, they're getting removed.
		Let's see what JGPT says.
		Basically, the massive increase in deportations in 23 hitting approximately 1.1 million was largely due to the expiration of Title 42 and the shift to Title 8 enforcement under the Biden administration.
		Title 42 was a COVID-era policy that allowed for rapid expulsion of illegal immigrants without formal deportation proceedings.
		When it ended, the administration ramped up Title 8 enforcement, which is formal deportations, making the number appear higher.
		So that being said, Formal deportations under Trump may be around this number, but in fact, may have been even higher because they were informal.
		Likely that when people showed up, they were turned around right away.
		And so in 2023, when they were turning people around, it was more formal.
		But you can see, of course, despite the fact that Title 8 enforcement kicked in by 2024, Biden made sure to drop that number way down and welcome these people in.
		Now, here's what gets interesting.
		2025 is already projected at around 250,000 deportations.
		Now, how can that be?
		If we were already, I mean, let's be real.
		Quarter of a million deportations in three weeks.
		Three weeks.
		So something doesn't make sense.
		I said, already 2025, 2050K have been deported.
		JGPT responded.
		As of early February 2025, the exact number of deportations carried out this year is not publicly available.
		However, the Trump administration has initiated a mass deportation campaign with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement conducting raids in multiple cities.
		For instance, on January 23rd, 2025, ICE arrested 538 individuals in major cities.
		We get it.
		The administration has set an ambitious target for deportations, aiming for 1,200 to 1,500 daily arrests.
		It's important that those are targets, and the actual number of deportations may vary.
		Given that it's only February, the figure of 250,000 deportations for 2025 is a projection based on current policies and enforcement actions.
		The actual number will depend on various factors, including policy changes, legal challenges, and on-the-ground enforcement activities throughout the year for the most accurate information, consult, blah, blah, blah.
		So I don't think we're actually at 250K. But with Donald Trump's degree of enforcement and the numbers only being rough estimates, I think it's fair to say if we're looking at, you know, 27—we're probably around 20 percent, if that, of that number.
	But that being said, Trump is ramping things up.
	He wants more deportations.
	I don't believe that number is correct.
	That's at 250K for the year so far.
	But assuming those estimates may be correct, we'd be looking at—here we go.
	They say ICE averaged 787 arrests per day.
	Between January 23rd to the 31st, about 11,000 arrests have been made in the last 18 days.
	The White House has reported 461 undocumented migrants were released from custody over health concerns.
	I think we're probably looking at five figures, maybe low, mid.
	Hard to know for sure.
	If Trump keeps this up and ramps it up in only a couple of weeks, We could be looking at, what, half a million deportations?
	Now, of course, Democrats are going to come out and say, look at Biden, he deported a million or whatever.
	Well, let's throw those numbers in.
	Trump says he wants to bring back Title 42, remain in Mexico, you know, and basically turning people away at the border.
	I think we're going to see massive deportations.
	And the important thing is...
	We're going to see a lot of self-deportation, as it's called.
	That is, a lot of people who don't think they'll be able to live or that the enforcement is too severe and they don't want to live that way, so they're going to choose to leave themselves.
	Noem suggests that IRS agents assisted with investigating human trafficking networks and finding businesses hiring illegal migrants.
	It is DHS's understanding that the Department of Treasury has qualified law enforcement personnel available to assist with immigration enforcement, especially in light of recent increases to the IRS's workforce.
	So let's put it this way.
	How many businesses are hiring illegal immigrants?
	I'd be willing to bet it's quite a bit.
	Kyle Kalinske, though unhinged as he had has become, had this meme post where it said one thing you'll never see.
	And it's executives being arrested.
	And it said the CEOs being arrested for exploiting illegal immigrant labor.
	And I'm like, I completely agree with this.
	Arrest them all.
	I'm not even kidding.
	Donald Trump.
	Should send IRS agents to these major companies and take a look.
	You know, do you think they're going to do?
	They're going to have patsies, for sure.
	The boss of these companies, you know, many of them know they're hiring illegal immigrants to work these jobs at under-the-table garbage slave wages.
	Not all of them do.
	That's a lie pushed by a lot of Democrats that they get paid little.
	A lot of these illegal immigrants are getting paid normal wages.
	But these executives will know.
	And they'll say, oh, oh, we had no idea.
	Now, I'll be fair.
	I'll be fair.
	For a lot of people running companies, many of them really don't know because the illegal immigrants will commit fraud.
	And this is a difficult thing to navigate.
	If someone comes and applies for a job, and they've got an ID, and they fill out a form with a social security number and everything, and you submit it, and it's approved, what do you do?
	So I say we want to go after the companies where we know they're intentionally hiring illegal immigrant labor, and we know who these people are.
	We want to investigate companies when they do hire illegal immigrants, and we want to take it seriously.
	But the problem is so widespread and rife with fraud.
	I want to make sure this.
	Two things.
	The first parent thing of what I'm going to say, we want criminals held accountable.
	If there's a boss at a company, If there is an executive or otherwise, and they know they're hiring illegal immigrants to bypass laws or do whatever, criminal.
	However, I also want to make sure that for businesses like we had an IHOP near here where they got raided for hiring illegal immigrants.
	The question is, did the management know or were the illegal immigrants committing fraud?
	I don't want to see good American businesses targeted and the owners facing criminal penalties because they were defrauded by the illegal immigrants, because they do this.
	You know, I mentioned this the other day when we were talking about illegal immigrants on Social Security, and I was making a comment about Jess Margera saying that MAGA is so dumb, they don't realize that in order to get Social Security, you need a Social Security number, which they fraudulently get.
	And so, yes.
	Google it.
	There are illegal aliens that have committed fraud to get on Social Security, and they are getting money from our tax base.
	These people exist.
	I'm not saying it's every single one of them, but let's just be real.
	100% of illegal immigrants are criminals.
	They violated, what is it, Title 8, U.S. Code, U.S. Code 1324 or whatever?
	Actually, I think that one might be inducing others.
	Enter the country outside of its official borders and without proper documentation.
	So these people have committed a crime in the first place.
	Why would they not get fake Social Security numbers?
	The other crazy thing, too, is with this Elon Musk stuff in Doge, he's saying that the Social Security numbers are non-duplicative, meaning you and another American citizen might have the exact same Social Security number.
	Isn't that weird?
	I guess that makes no sense.
	Whatever.
	The idea is...
	They look up your social security number in a database, and then there's a bunch of different names attached to the same number.
	That's freaky.
	If that's true, I don't know if that's true.
	That'd be insane if it was.
	But let's see where this is going.
	I'm excited.
	Maybe give the IRS something more important to do, in my opinion.
	Now, my friends, the challenge we are facing, of course, DHS Secretary Noem appears to accuse corrupt FBI of leaking LA ICE raids.
	Appears to?
	Yo, Noam and Homan straight up accused them of doing it.
	Let me show you Tom Homan.
	Borders are Tom Homan accuses FBI of putting lives at risk by leaking ICE details about where the next raids are.
	That is criminal.
	That is absolutely criminal.
	Now, we got the video, but first, let me show you this post.
	LA Times has leaked documents says large-scale immigration enforcement action coming soon to LA. Kristi Noem responded, the FBI is so corrupt, we will work with any and every agency to stop leaks and prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law.
	Welcome to, I don't know, the administrative civil war, I guess.
	We've got federal law enforcement leaking information to help criminals.
	Okay.
	Charge them under, what did I say, Title 8, U.S. Code 1324. Is that what it is?
	Let me see if I can pull that one up.
	U.S. Code 1324. Did I get this one right?
	Yep.
	There it is.
	Title 8, Aliens and Nationality.
	Bringing in and harboring certain aliens.
	Let's play this game.
	Here we go.
	We have this from House.gov.
	Any person who, knowing that a person is an alien, brings or attempts to bring them to the United States in any matter whatsoever, and that you shall be punished, blah, blah, blah.
	Seizure and forfeiture.
	Is this the one?
	Let me see.
	I'm pretty sure this is the right law.
	This gets to it.
	Inducing illegal immigration law.
	This is, yeah, 1324A. So where is this?
	It's in 1324A1A4, encourages or induces an alien to come to enter or reside in the U.S. knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that coming to blah, blah, blah would be illegal, aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts.
	I want to stress, residing in, residing in this country, Is a component of this law.
	If there are individuals illegally residing in this country and someone aids them to continue their illegal residence, and that's what it is.
	This is the law.
	I didn't make it up.
	I didn't make it up.
	I'm just saying that's the law.
	Doesn't mean it's right.
	It is.
	It's a law.
unidentified		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We'll enforce it, right?
		So if the FBI or anyone is leaking information to aid and abet illegal immigrants, they are in violation of the law.
		They should be arrested.
		But let's throw it to our good friend, Tom Homan.
		Tom's great.
		Tom's great.
		I love his interviews.
		Finally, we have strong law enforcement.
tom homan ▲ ● ▼		We think it's coming from inside.
		And we know the first leak of Aurora is under current investigation.
		We think we identify that person under investigation right now.
		The California leak, Secretary Noem, she's correct.
		Some of the information we're receiving tends to lead toward the FBI. But I talked to Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.
		They've opened up a criminal investigation.
unidentified		Wow.
tom homan ▲ ● ▼		And they have promised that not only this person will lose their job and lose their pension, they're going to go to jail.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to play this again because what he says in the beginning is very important.
tom homan ▲ ● ▼		We think it's coming from inside.
		And we know the first leak of Aurora is under current investigation.
		We think we identify that person.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They think they found the person.
		He says they're not going to get fired and lose their pension.
		They're going to go to jail.
tom homan ▲ ● ▼		Under investigation right now, the California League, Secretary Noem, she's correct.
		Some of the information we're receiving tends to lead toward the FBI. But I talked to Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.
		They've opened up a criminal investigation, and they have promised that not only this person will lose their job and lose their pension, they're going to go to jail.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Jail it is!
		What say you, everybody?
		Give me a one in the chat for those watching live if the person should go to jail.
		How about this?
		One like equals jail the FBI leakers.
		Look, man, law enforcement isn't supposed to be a partisan game where you decide you're going to help criminals because that's your political party.
		If we are to be a republic and a nation of laws, or how about this, Democrats?
		Are we a democracy?
		Sure, that would mean when a popular mandate is given, Trump wins the popular vote, then laws get enforced as to what the American people want.
		So, yeah, the entire chat is all ones.
		Arrest the FBI leakers.
		I am done.
		And I can't do much but complain on the Internet.
		But I am sick and tired of these criminals in the federal government.
		And I know all of you are getting away with breaking the law over and over again.
		And nothing ever happens.
		Who do these people think they are?
		We are a nation of laws and rules and structures, and we try to play by and abide by them to the best of our abilities.
		That is, when we vote and we say Trump is the president, popular vote, popular mandate, enforce the laws, please.
		Who the?
		Does this FBI agent think they are that they would undermine the entirety, the will of the American people?
		And they're all doing it.
		Democrats right now in the overwhelming majority, minority, undermining, undermining our law enforcement apparatus.
		Now, I'll tell you, popular mandate doesn't mean it's it's right or correct.
		But it but I think what we're looking at is.
		The average American, you poll them.
		And you ask them and they're going to say America for Americans.
		Democrats for a long time, they were saying that's racist nationalism.
		What?
		America is not for non-Americans.
		We don't have a tax base to give money to other people.
		That's the world they live in with USAID and all this ridiculous foreign spending.
		I'm loving it.
		Apparently now Trump is telling Zelensky over in Ukraine.
		How about how about this?
		You're going to give us five hundred billion dollars in rare earth minerals from your country or we're done.
		I love this man.
		I'm tired of being ripped off.
		I am tired of hearing stories.
		We are looking right now at the L.A. wildfires and the homes that were destroyed.
		Cold wake-up call for these hippy-dippy liberals in the Palisades.
		Look, I feel for you.
		You lost your homes.
		You lost your lives.
		We are America.
		That means if you're a hippy-dippy liberal living in the mountains and we disagree, you're still Americans.
		I say it like this.
		If me and my brother get into a fight and we're real mad at each other, well, that's family.
		But if someone else comes and tries to get into a fight with my brother, hey, you get away from my brother, right?
		We're allowed to fight with family.
		But you're not allowed to fight my family.
		That's not how it works.
		So I can argue all day and night with these woke lunatics in California, but they still deserve every single penny.
		That this country can muster to help them when their house is burned down before we give it to illegal immigrants.
		What are we hearing from Gavin Newsom?
		Sorry, you can't rebuild Section 8. Now, fine.
		Still, we're making an argument about if if we're making an argument about homeless Americans who need who need support.
		There's an argument to be had.
		And we as family, we're going to bicker about it.
		That's not what California is doing, though.
		California is allocating funds to illegal immigrant housing, to illegal immigrant health care.
		I am sick and tired of hearing about people in disaster areas, be it L.A. or North Carolina.
		These people deserve help because we as Americans set money aside.
		Well, they take it by force, to be honest.
	But the expectation is it is going to help the people who need it most, our neighbors, our brothers, our sisters.
	Instead, Ukraine.
	Gender studies in Pakistan.
	I'm sick of it.
	So who does this FBI agent think they are that they would undermine our efforts to help our neighbors in this country, our family, figurative national family, so that illegal immigrants, the people who spit in our faces, exploiting our laws to take from us, how dare they help them first?
	That's scumbaggery.
	Now, I know a lot of people are calling it treasonous.
	I wouldn't call it treason.
	The idea with treason is that you're aiding and abetting a foreign adversary in a time of war.
	Seditious, I honestly wouldn't even call it seditious.
	I guess it's disloyal, you know?
	It's traitorous, but not treason.
	I think it's not legal treason.
	I try to be very careful with the treason stuff, because your basic, like, treason is reserved for if we are actively at war with a country.
	And someone in our country is assisting the enemy to undermine and destroy us.
	We're not actively at war with a bunch of economic migrants that are trying to rip us off, right?
	These people come from all different places.
	However, these FBI agents are betraying this country to assist non-citizens.
	So legal treason I'd steer clear of.
	You could probably argue it's seditious because it's undermining the structure of governance and the president.
	But I say this.
	Joe Biden won a popular mandate.
	Believe whatever you want to believe.
	I'm just saying, call it what it is.
	I am totally fine with saying that Joe Biden won a popular mandate and that Biden was supposed to do what we wanted to do.
	His approval rating was in the gutter right away.
	My point is this.
	Joe Biden gets elected because people didn't understand what was going on.
	There's a bunch of other reasons he got elected, too.
	Democrats played the long game.
	They played the rules and Republicans played the voting game.
	Obviously, if you're playing the rules, you'll do a lot better.
	Figuring out where you can exploit and ballot harvesting largely got Biden over that edge.
	But Gallup predicted it.
	I do believe, and I've seen it, a lot of people voted for Biden because they wanted to change and COVID lockdowns were awful.
	So they instructed Biden on one mandate, and that was COVID. The Gallup data and the polling shows most people's concern was COVID. So that's why they voted for Joe Biden.
	Nothing else.
	Biden did not deliver.
	He did not.
	The country was in a miserable state and everybody was pissed off.
	And that's why Trump ended up winning with a popular mandate.
	Because they said anything is better than what this guy does.
	And I'm fine with saying that.
	You know, a lot of Trump supporters want to say the election was stolen.
	There's no way Biden won.
	I think he won.
	Call it however you want.
	But I'll tell you this.
	The American people delivered a mandate to Biden and he dropped it instantly.
	He slipped and fell up the stairs on his way to a plane, dropping the ball.
	And the ball bounced away and it was gone forever.
	That's how bad it was.
	His approval rating sank to the lowest in recorded history, the worst polling of any president.
	I'm totally fine with that.
	He was delivered, demanded by the people, and he could not deliver.
	Donald Trump was delivered, demanded by the people, and he's being obstructed by corrupt FBI agents.
	I am sick of these people thinking that they deserve to run your life and tell you and I what we should or should not do and assist non-citizens at a time when grocery prices are too high, at a time when the people of L.A., North Carolina are suffering.
	And they're the only ones.
	They're just the big disasters.
	There's disasters.
	There's poverty all across this country.
	So I say this.
	I'm going to give.
	I think we should take every penny that we have, every single U.S. dollar.
	We should give it to every illegal immigrant, every single one.
	Yeah, you heard me.
	You heard me.
	After.
	Well, actually, not illegal immigrants.
	Never, never.
	We should give it in foreign aid to everybody.
	Only after we've deported the illegal immigrants, we've secured our border.
	There is no poverty left in this country.
	Everybody has a job.
	And there are job openings allowing upward mobility for those that are working.
	The economy is a booming.
	Everyone's got dental and health care.
	There's not a poor person in this country.
	You tell me when that happens.
	It's never going to happen.
	But I will say this.
	If you want to give our money away to other countries in aid, then the first thing you have to do, the daunting task, is solve literally every single problem this country has.
	Because once we have all of our problems solved, maybe then you'll do charity.
	I'll put it this way.
	If you're an impoverished family that can't afford groceries, you shouldn't be donating your money.
	You've got to secure your own oxygen mask before you put the mask on of the people sitting next to you.
	That's how it goes, right?
	So when we see everything that's happening, when we see what the FBI agents are doing, they are undermining this country at a time when we are actually trying our hardest to stay afloat.
	There's never going to come a day where we are without poverty, mental illness, homelessness, crime, or otherwise.
	And that basically means we should never be giving our money away to strangers.
	Now, don't get me wrong.
	There's still some circumstances.
	You know, you out there, you may be a hardworking class person with debt, and your neighbor is in a very dangerous, precarious position.
	And you say, I'm going to give you a little bit, but please pay me back.
	Or, you know, we don't want you to be without.
	People donate money all the time.
	There's a certain degree of foreign aid.
	I can accept.
	I can accept.
	Just not as much as we've been doing.
	Not to these countries for their wars, and not to illegal immigrants when we are trying to rescue people in two disasters across this country.
	Not to mention, it's not like Maui's totally recovered.
	So Tom Homan, I hope the DHS, the AG, and Trump go after this agent.
	I want to see a perp walk.
	Remember Steve Baker, the J6 reporter?
	How about you take this guy, you put him in shackles, and you make him walk past the press?
	That's what they want to do, send a message that if you showed up in D.C. to film stuff, we're going to put you in shackles because they're scumbags.
	How about it's time these people get that treatment?
	You know, I'm sick of this argument that we shouldn't do a thing because then they might do a thing later.
	We were talking about this the other day with Nick Oaks on Timcast IRL, and he and I agree on this one.
	Republicans keep saying, we better not use that power.
	Otherwise, when they get power, they'll use it against us.
	And it's like, they're doing worse.
	The left is doing worse.
	They're allowing illegal immigration and then leaking government operations to assist these people.
	This FBI agent has betrayed the American people and should go to jail.
	I'm curious if they have any other information.
	Homan said, it's not just giving the bad guys a heads up.
	You're putting officers' lives at risk.
	It's only a matter of time before there's going to be a bad guy who doesn't care, who is going to be sitting in wait for the officer to show up and ambush them.
	Yep.
	Homan revealed the Deputy Attorney General has launched a criminal investigation into the leak and has vowed to prosecute them.
	They've promised not only will this person lose their job, their pension, they'll go to jail.
	I'm here for it.
	This is not a game, he warned.
	FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration officers and agents have been called in to assist with the upcoming raid reportedly scheduled to take place by the end of February.
	It was supposed to target foreigners without legal status to remain in the United States who remain in the United States as well as anyone with pending orders of removal.
	Authorities were requesting unprecedented multi-agency collaboration in order to achieve the targets.
	It is now unclear if the raids will still go ahead.
	Trump's Homeland Security Secretary Christine Noem was livid after the leaks at, And immediately went on the attack, saying the FBI is so corrupt.
	We did see this one.
	We just we just showed it here.
	We have more raids taking place.
	More information.
	L.A., Chicago and Atlanta have all been locations of raids in recent weeks.
	And President Trump lifted longtime guidelines preventing ICE agents from operating in sensitive locations like schools, churches and hospitals.
	Trump's efforts to enforce immigration laws and deport illegal immigrants have drawn thousands of protesters to L.A. in recent days.
	Protesters have caused traffic gridlock in the city as they have targeted major freeways while waving Mexican flags and those of other Latin American countries.
	A 17-year-old boy was stabbed during a protest on a Friday and currently remains in hospital in critical conditions.
	You know, my friends, have you seen the videos?
	There are people in California waving Mexican flags and Colombian flags.
	We saw this in the migrant caravans during Trump.
	They're marching by the thousands.
	One of the most offensive things was this story where the migrant caravan, one of them, was offered asylum in Mexico.
	Permanent status.
	They'd get to live, work, and be merry.
	And then one of the migrants yelled, who wants to stay in Mexico?
	Nobody said anything.
	Who wants to keep going to America?
	And they go, woo!
	And they all start cheering and screaming.
	These people are evil.
	That is evil.
	Now, I talk about the banality of evil.
	Some liberal doesn't pay attention, walks around and, you know, basically assists in refusing, like refuses to assist or just ignores the illegal immigration problem.
	I call it the banality of evil, that people would come, exploit our laws, exploit our country, exploit our tax base, and that there are liberals that are like, don't involve me, I'm not getting involved, allowing it to happen.
	It's the commonplace action.
	The migrant caravans that are marching here, full well-knowing, one, they've been offered residents in another country that they're already in.
	Two, that we have rejected them and said, stay out.
	And then three, say, we don't care what you want.
	We will take from you.
	I am so offended by those people.
	Now, I can certainly respect wanting to live in America.
	It's great.
	But if you come to my house and you say, can I come in?
	And I say, no, you can't.
	And then you turn to your friends and say, let's kick his door in and come in anyway.
	That is evil.
	The United States has rules and laws.
	We try to play by those rules and laws.
	So when you say, we don't care about your rules, we don't care about your laws, we're coming anyway.
	And you kick the door down and storm in.
	Do you guys remember when we had police on the border and the migrants rushed the cops, rushed the border patrol agents?
	Let me see if I'm going to pull this one up.
	Migrants.
	Attack border.
	Alter.
	It happened several times.
	Illegal immigrant bites Border Patrol agent's face.
	Illegal immigrant punches and bites Border Patrol agent.
	Wow.
	Let me find this one.
	Port of entry.
	There was an attack at a port of entry.
	Is this the video right here from YouTube?
	Let me see if I can find this one.
unidentified		We've been having continuous groups enter the country legally for several weeks already.
unidentified		Today was a bit different because we did have a larger group.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's not the story I'm looking for.
		There was a story specifically, although it is interesting to see, where a bunch of migrants.
		You know what?
		Let me just do this.
		Migrants storm U.S. border.
		There were like five of these.
		Check this one out.
		Here's a story.
		Let's go way back.
		Let's go way back.
		This is from 20. Oh, wait, what?
		Holy crap.
		You remember this one from last year?
		This is not even the one that I was talking about.
		Here we go.
		I do have the other story.
		Do you remember this?
		When they attacked the National Guard basically a year ago under Biden?
		But this is the story right here with the famous photo.
		Look at this.
		This is an assault on our country.
		Look at this video.
unidentified		The scene at the border.
		Dramatic pictures of the chaos in Tijuana, Mexico over the past 24 hours.
		Hundreds of migrants from Central America attempted to storm the U.S. border, desperate to reach U.S. soil.
		U.S. authorities and Mexican police took unprecedented measures to stop them.
		And photographers captured this image.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Bringing toddlers into conflict with National Guard and law enforcement and tear gas.
unidentified		Leading her young children running from the tear gas.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That is evil.
		That is the face of evil.
		Now, it's not the same thing as, you know, a psychopathic murderer.
		They're not going to play any stupid games.
		Of course, liberals and Democrats are going to be like, you really think a mother with a frozen Elsa t-shirt is so evil for wanting a better life?
		She's bringing toddlers into an active conflict zone with tear gas, attacking law enforcement, knowing she's putting her children's lives at risk.
unidentified		Tear gas to break our laws by U.S. authorities.
		That picture is getting a lot of attention even this morning.
		So let's go to Lindsay Duncombe, who's in Washington, on this story.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's how I would describe it.
		There's degrees of evil, my friends.
		It's not all one thing or the other.
		It's not all, you know, violent psychopaths attacking children.
		There's degrees.
		There's degrees.
		There's the banality of evil.
		There's malicious, chaotic.
		What these people were doing, bringing young children.
		Look, there was a story where a young girl was found dead in the Rio Grande.
		And Democrats were all crying and they were upset.
		And I blame them.
		I blame them.
		Why would anyone traffic children through the desert thousands of miles, putting their lives at risk?
		And for what?
		For what?
		So when we see these stories, The Democrats try to frame it like, we have to help them.
		Look, they're dying.
		And it's like, so these people are killing children and you're like, we should help them.
		Oh, we'll help the children.
		Absolutely.
		But what am I supposed to say?
		You know, this is the double-edged sword.
		Maybe a double-edged sword is not the right way to describe it.
		But this is the hypocrisy and the paradox.
		Democrats say, it's not the fault of the children who came here.
		You know, we have to give them deferred—what is it, DACA? What is it, deferred something?
		We're not going to deport them because it was their parents that made the mistake.
		Yeah?
		Well, the parents who bring those kids there are bringing them through like 90 miles of desert with no water, and they die.
		A lot of them die.
		Okay?
		So how about we stop creating incentives?
		Where we say, if your kid makes it here, we will give your kid access.
		You know why?
		Because then the parents are like, okay, if I can get my toddler through the desert without dying, then they get to stay.
		That's the price they'll pay.
		Nah.
		All you do is incentivize.
		All that's happening is you are telling these people, the smugglers, the coyotes, to bring these children into death's path.
		Additionally, Do you guys remember when Trump said coyote?
		Let me see if I can pull this one up.
		This was probably the best story ever.
		Oh my God.
		These people are insane.
		Look at this.
		Here we go.
		Let's play this.
unidentified		So well taken care of.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is that it?
		Anyway, fact check.
		Trump did not mean actual coyotes take children across the border.
		This is the world we live in, my friends.
		This is what Democrats are.
		I know most of you already understand that a coyote is a term for someone who traffics people across the border.
		Trump, of course, using the correct terminology, said, you've got these coyotes bringing people across the border, and it's got to stop.
		And Democrats went, Trump thinks that children are riding on the backs of coyotes?
		Like, what?
		Yep.
		Yeah, you know, last night Milo said, We've got two groups.
		You've got the willfully obtuse, the individuals who know they're lying, and then the people who are idiots.
		That's what he said, idiots.
unidentified		And let's be real, 30% are idiots.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Or he said, 30% of this country, idiots.
		That's my Milo impersonation.
		And, well, you know, I don't completely disagree with him.
		I'm just saying, I don't know the numbers.
		30%?
		Could be more.
		Could be less.
		But you get a lot, you know, how is it?
		That these liberals literally think that animals drag children.
		This is absolutely insane.
		The claim.
		Here we go.
		Look at this.
		This is really, really funny.
		Oh, man.
		Is this tweet still real?
		Oh, they got rid of it.
		They got rid of it.
		Darshan Kendrick.
		Did Trump just say 545 kids they can't find their parents?
		Four came through cartels and coyotes.
		How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?
		Lord, stop talking.
		I love it!
		Are you kidding me?
		That's the world they live in.
		Heavens to Betsy.
		What did Trump really mean?
		Trump used the term coyote when questioned by moderator Kristen Welker.
		A coyote, also known as El Coyote, is a term for people who smuggle others across the borders in exchange for payment.
		But these people are so dumb.
		Trump has used the term before, indeed.
		These people are so dumb that they literally thought That when Trump said a coyote, and it was trending, they were like, Trump thinks animals are bringing people over the border.
		What?
		Bro, come on.
		People use animal terms to describe people all the time.
		In fact, while you may describe someone as a coyote, which is a term for a smuggler, some women are described as vixens, foxes.
		Like, you call them animals.
		It's absolutely ridiculous how dumb these people are.
		Welcome to the modern era, my friend.
		Well, I can tell you this.
		Donald Trump's approval rating is pretty good.
		Pretty good.
		Trafalgar's got Trump at plus nine.
		Rasmussen at plus eight.
		CBS at plus six.
		Now, Pew has him minus four, which I don't believe.
		That makes literally no sense.
		But they do have a big sample size of 5,086.
		I don't trust them, though, because Donald Trump won the popular vote like only a few months ago.
		He's doing what he promised to do.
		Even CNN is saying he's doing well.
		And 538 has Trump at right now 5.25.
		I can't believe that.
		538 always, always underscored Trump, and now they're overscoring him?
		So yeah, I ain't buying it that they're saying it's low.
		We do have some good news in terms of the accountability department, though.
		While these people aren't going to jail, at least they're getting fired, DHS to fire FEMA staffers who paid for hotels to house illegal immigrants.
		Cathartic!
		I hope you all feel as good as I do.
		Democrats seek to exploit to destroy.
		The famous meme, oh no, the child is crying, quick burn the Constitution.
		Nah.
		We're adults here, and I'm going to tell you, these people, you know, they bring children, talk about your heartstrings, and I say, yeah, sorry, thank you, and have a nice day.
	I'm not playing this game.
	And they'll say, but you're so cold, you're so mean.
	I don't care.
	Literally don't care.
	You are never going to get me to say, oh no, the child is crying.
	Quick, burn the Constitution.
	I think Tom Homan agrees.
	There's a reason there are rules.
	There's a reason there are laws.
	And what happens is these Democrats live in a world where they say, just break the rules, break the laws.
	We have to.
	Don't you care?
	No, I don't.
	Literally.
	I'm not playing that game.
	There are strong individuals and there are weak individuals.
	And those that are strong recognize that the rules have to be enforced, that they're enforced for a reason.
	And if you're going to cry about it, that's too effing bad.
	The children are dragged across the border.
	Let me let me put it in.
	I'll give you another example.
	Negotiating with terrorists.
	So I've told the story before, but I think it bears repeating because this explains the mentality between, like, say, us and Democrats.
	I did a hostile environment training.
	And in this training, we went over what to do if you are taken hostage.
	And what they said to us was, comply, comply, comply.
	Do what the kidnappers want.
	95 plus percent likelihood you will be rescued.
	Now, why is that?
	They said, if you find yourself in some of these Middle Eastern countries, typically the groups that kidnap you are doing so for money.
	However, ISIS, not so much.
	If it's ISIS, you're in trouble.
	But in most instances of kidnappings, you will be rescued by US forces.
	The United States famously does not negotiate with kidnappers.
	They send in special forces to gun them all down and rescue you.
	Amazing.
	I think of the brave men.
	Dropping out of those helicopters in the dead of night with night vision goggles, kicking the door in on the terrorists who would kidnap an American and saving the life of that American.
	And it fills me with American pride.
	And it should you.
	However, as they instructed us, if you're Spanish or German, you're in trouble.
	You see, what ends up happening is if you're in one of these countries hostile to the United States, Middle East or otherwise, someone will target you for kidnapping.
	!", so say we got a foreigner.
	Then they found you're an American.
	They say No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
	Don't take the Americans!
	You know why?
	Because if you take the American, the moment they go missing, State Department gets on top of it and drops down an iron boot on your face.
	As for Germany and Spain, they're famous for paying out whatever is asked.
	So you don't end up happening.
	These kidnappers, these criminal groups in these various countries specifically target the citizens of those nations.
	How stupid do you have to be?
	That's what they told us.
	They said, if you're if you're a Spanish national or German and you go to these countries, they will hunt you down so quick because they know free money, baby.
	But if you're an American, they're terrified that special forces drop down from a helicopter in the middle of the night with night vision goggles and gun down your entire family and everyone around you to rescue the American.
	So don't with Americans.
unidentified		So why do I tell that story?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It is when the Democrats say we will give special treatment to your children, they actually are telling these people to take the risk to their children's lives, which results in the death of their children.
		Thank you.
		That's right.
		They're telling these people, if you can just drag your toddler through the tear gas, the gunshots, the fighting, the rioting, the 90 miles of desert, whatever it may be, we'll let him stay.
		And so what happens?
		These people bring their children and their children die.
		It's disgusting.
		There is such a thing as being responsible and saying, do not do it.
		We will turn you around in two seconds and you will have risked your children's lives for nothing.
		Do not risk your children's lives.
		I think the Democrat strategy there is sickening.
		Sickening, absolutely.
		We would tell them, stay in your country, abide by your laws, and do not risk the lives of your children.
		Democrats would say, don't.
		Come.
		Biden said, surge the border.
		Bring your kids.
		And then what do we get?
		A video of a young girl face down in a river.
		That's the policies they enact.
		So, my friends, we are rounding out this hour morning show.
		Thank you all so much for hanging out.

		And what I will say is, I think Trump is doing a bang-up job.
		I'm looking forward to seeing more from him, and I'm grateful to see this shift in the American psyche.
		The booing of Taylor Swift, and then her face where she's like, uh, what the is going on?
		You backed the wrong horse.
		You live in a crackpot delusional reality.
		These people did not realize they were wrong about everything.
		And we won.
		We won.
		Will we win again?
		Well, you know, there's ebbs and flows, there's a pendulum swing.
		Hopefully Trump can do right, and he must.
		Trump needs to make sure that everything he's doing is proper.
		Because if we get mistreatment, if we get abuse, Democrats are going to end up winning.
		What we need to see is Trump fulfilling his promise as a stern, orderly father figure.
		That is, we will deport these people.
		It will be a humane deportation.
		They'll be given flights to their home countries.
		They will be given standard accommodation.
		There will be no abuse.
		There will be everything will be above board.
		And the American people will say, not only did Donald Trump fulfill his promise, he was a good man.
		He did what we asked, enforce our laws, stop the criminals, and he did so with compassion.
		I certainly hope that's the presidency that he gives us.
		Because if we start seeing mistreatment and abuse.
		We got a problem.
		Democrats are going to lose their minds and they're going to say, is this what you want?
		And there's going to be squishy Americans who are terrified seeing even one video of a child being hurt in any way.
		No, we have to be above and beyond as those who seek to be responsible and enforce the law.
		I'm going to grab your super chats, my friends.
		We'll take some questions for you guys in the remaining five minutes.
		But again, follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast.
		Share the show with everyone.
		You know, it really, really does help.

	You will not regret it.
	We got those great Green Room shows that are live right now.
	The Nick Oaks ones, really interesting.
	Ian was basically just like, what was it like in prison, man?
	And Nick is talking about how the government was torturing him.
	They put a toilet next to your bed and then some guy's got to use it.
	You're inside.
	It's nuts.
	Let's go.
	We got Stuart Votsperger says, morning, Tim.
	Damn glad to make this live.
	Yeah, the plan is, I think I'm working it out.
	10 to 11 live, one hour in the morning.
	Principal show on one major issue, maybe a couple.
	And then I'm going to have four more news segments, independent, unique, up for the rest of the day as per the normal schedule.
	And then I will have shows on Friday as well.
	We're going to be doing more evergreen segments for Fridays.
	That is my plan was every day to record a segment that we could put up on Friday.
	So there will be a Friday show.
	A little bit shorter, a little bit shorter because we have the culture war on Friday mornings.
	All right.
	RestlessMedic says, use the IRS to dig into Sanctuary City financials instead of mine.
	I'm already robbed enough by the government, so how about those criminals hiding the migrants get some of that?
	Indeed.
unidentified		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		EB says, Tim, as a paying member, it's really hard for me to support your content when you bring on Roman Catholics like Milo, even though you aren't even Christian.
		I'm genuinely confused.
		Wait, wait, what?
		It's hard for you to support my content when I bring on Roman Catholics, even though I'm not a Christian?
		I don't understand.
		I've brought on Muslims, Jews.
		I've brought on Hellenists.
		Actually, I don't think I've brought on any Hellenistic Odinists.
		Is that the phrase?
		I'm genuinely confused by what you mean.
		Should I never bring on a Catholic again?
		I don't know.
		Is Milo a Roman Catholic?
		Is he?
		All right.
		Super Mercer Bro says, why was Milo describing about Dave Rubin?
		He's a funny guy.
		He's a little wild.
		He's a little wild.
		But I think the issue is that Milo takes issue with Dave.
		For personal issues relating to his cancellation, as well as certain cultural issues pertaining to Dave.
		And I think Milo was using the Tenet issue as sort of just piling it on.
		And I took issue with it because it effectively impugns my honor.
		And what I can say about the Tenet thing is that I'm not going to speak to Dave or anything that Dave does, but I can tell you this.
		When it came to Tenet, Benny, Dave, and I did above and beyond due diligence.
		And we were defrauded.
		We were had, as it were.
		These things happen.
		That's why I'm saying, like, when it comes to illegal immigrants that are fraudulently getting jobs, I'm not going to blame every business owner for hiring an illegal immigrant.
		There are criminal, illegal immigrants exploiting our laws and trying to get jobs.
		And they will lie.
		So these things happen.
		What I will say is, it's a funny story, isn't it?
		We'll see how things turn out with that whole story now, considering that the DOJ has gone Republican.
		It's very interesting.
		There's some behind-the-scenes stuff that I think should get up, but I don't know if they ever will.
		What I can say is, look, man, I get hit up by companies all the time.
		American companies want to sponsor the show.
		They want us to do ad reads, and we do moderate due diligence.
		But the idea that we're going to go to any company, imagine this, a company comes, ask any, ask any, I said this to Jake Uger, when you get a sponsor and they come to you and they say they want you to do five ad reads for a certain amount of money and the company is called, you know, insert whatever company out of Nebraska, do you then ask who their board members are, who their investors are?
		Do you then try, you don't.
		You say, oh, cool, an American company is offering a sponsorship, a license, or whatever it may be.
		That's it.
		And so if it turns out there's something untoward going on that is three steps far removed, and you have no idea, like, what do you do?
		These things happen.
		They're evil people trying to exploit, to manipulate you.
		But, you know, I think Miles is allowed to be wrong about things, though he's upset with Dave Rubin.
		That's on him.
		He's allowed to be.
		Let's grab some more.
		Uncle Sam says, seeing Daily Mail articles on Al-Awlaki, seems you'd be interested in it.
		Paid for and trained by U.S., then taken out when no longer useful.
		I think that was actually decently known, that Anwar Al-Awlaki, the father of Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki, was killed by the U.S. government without charge of trial, had been working for the U.S. I think that was moderately known.
		I mean, a lot of these jihadi guys were funded by the U.S. for certain purposes, but then either turned on the U.S. or cut off and then turned or burned or whatever you want to call it.
		All right, what have we here?
		Ray Lewis says, I think an awesome idea.
		Let's do this.
		There we go.
		As we're rounding things out.
		Green room.
		Check it out.
		He says, I think an awesome idea would be to do an elevator pitch type of explanation on some of the biggest stories.
		It could be a great start for people to use when debating others.
		You know, one of the challenges is that you get these like man-on-the-street interviews where they, I don't care if it's left or right, going to a regular person and asking them to articulate deep political thoughts is just silly.
	That being said, an honest approach to your average conservative is going to wield you more information than an honest approach to your average liberal.
	I know those are for a fact.
	I've been on the ground and I've interviewed people.
	And we have liberals come on the show.
	And we have Luke Beasley on, who's got a million followers.
	And I ask him, how many years do you think someone should get in prison for assaulting an officer?
	And he says, I don't know.
	You tell me.
	And I'm like, OK, six months.
	That's why I think Trump should have pardoned and commuted the J6ers.
	And then he has no answer.
	He knows the talking points.
	But no real answer.
	Let's go.
	We'll just grab two more here.
	Benjamin Mauser says, Musk isn't wanting each individual citizen's SSN data.
	He wants the department's financial general ledger.
	He wants to see where they're spending the money and who they're giving it to, not individuals.
	And lastly, Vassal Park says, why do you call these people liberal, free and noble?
	They are deeply illiberal, cult-like and ignoble.
	Because liberal and conservative, or I should say, yeah, liberal and conservative, are colloquial terms representing political factions in this country.
	We don't use words to describe—I'll put it this way.
	What does it mean to beg the question?
	As it is used colloquially, it means to force a question to be asked.
	So if you said, the illegal immigrants that are entering the country begs the question.
	Why is Biden not enforcing?
	That's not what begs the question means.
	The actual phrase beg the question means to use circular logic.
	But nobody says that.
	Nobody uses it that way.
	Why am I going to intentionally use an obscure definition of a phrase that is not common?
	The use of words is meant to describe an idea to someone in its simplest form.
	Liberal represents the Democrat voting bloc outside of political party.
	So it can include people who don't like Democrats who might vote progressive, but we call them the liberals, big L. Certainly, if you want to say classical liberal or otherwise, fine, but maybe left and right.
	But I wouldn't describe your average liberal in this country as a leftist because they don't like each other.
	Liberals vote with leftists.
	Leftists hate liberals.
	So liberal is a colloquial term represents the cult-like moderate.
	That, you know, votes Democrat.
	I'm going to wrap it up there, my friends.
	This has been a smashing morning show.
	Thank you guys so much for hanging out.
	We have more segments coming up throughout the day, so don't miss it.
	Big winter storms up in D.C. Head over to TimCast.com.
	Check out the Green Room.
	More and more behind-the-scenes episodes.
	Look at this.
	We've been cranking them out.
	And I want to stress, the Nuance Bro episode was really funny for the inappropriate jokes.
	But yesterday's with Nick Oaks was really fascinating.
	You want to hear him tell a story about how he got locked up, how he beat the charges, how he defeated the government when it came to J6. He wasn't pardoned.
	He was technically pardoned.
	Nick Oaks defeated the charges, and he explains how they torture you in jail.
	Check that one out.
	Smash the like button on your way out.
	Share the show with everyone you know.
	We're back throughout the day, as I mentioned, with segments.
