Good afternoon, rumblers.
Welcome to the Tim Poole Daily Show live.
Live, where I'm your host, Tate Brown, taking you into the afternoon of the Rumble morning lineup.
You probably noticed I'm not Tim Poole.
Yeah, it's it's he's I don't know, you probably saw his tweet yesterday.
The throat thing is pretty, pretty bad.
Like it was like super closed up.
He had to go to the hospital over it.
It was a pretty, pretty crazy situation, so hopefully he'll be back soon, maybe like tomorrow, Wednesday, hopefully.
But he needed an extra day to recover.
That dude just grinds.
I mean, you see the amount of content he puts out.
So yeah, he's resting up.
So I'm holding it down today for him for the live show.
What a shout out, Steven Crowder for the raid, getting us into this afternoon segment of the morning show or the morning show lineup afternoon anyway.
It's a beautiful day in DC.
We're outside of DC, our nation's capital.
There's some clouds overhead, but it's a nice balmy weather out.
So we're enjoying that.
And the newly secured DC, we're going to get into that.
We're going to talk a little more about the liberation of DC.
We also have a big story.
We have a massive story actually is the State Department is halting visas to Gazans.
So we're going to get into that.
That's a pretty crazy story.
And we also have the Trump-Putin ceasefire talks with Zelensky involved.
And today Zelensky traveled to DC or he's traveled to DC or he's traveling to DC to meet with Trump and a whole host of European leaders are heading over to try and see what kind of deal they can get.
And we also have Gavin Newsom.
Gavin Newsom has a new nickname for JD Vance.
Let's see if that's what takes down the Trump administration as some really outdated memes.
So we'll get into that and so much more.
Let's get into our sponsors.
First of all, sponsors, they're in house.
This is Cast Brew Coffee.
You know it.
You'll love it.
I had some today.
Very nice.
I think it was the Appalachian Knights.
It's a very dark roast.
It puts a little hair on your chest.
It's a beautiful, beautiful bag of coffee there.
So head over to Cast Brew.
Get you some Appalachian Knights.
That's what I recommend.
Splash and Nights, that's what I recommend.
I think it's fantastic, but we have a lot of options here.
If you're more into a light roast, you can get the Rise with Roberto Jr.
We got the Stand Your Grounds.
We have our special featured products, the 1776 Signature Blend, the Josie special.
So heading on over to Casper, get you some coffee.
There's not much summer left, so you can get your iced coffees in for so much longer, but we're going to get back into hot coffee season here soon.
I'm looking forward to it.
Producer Surge is in the cut.
And he has a hot coffee on deck.
It's getting wacky and wild out here.
We also got the Uncancelable board from Boonies from shop dot boonieshq dot com.
unidentified
You know what?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
You love, you've heard about it.
We've been talking about it a lot.
The Uncancelable board.
You know, I, I, I don't come from the skating world, right?
It's it's a bit foreign to me.
So coming to Timcast, I've really learned to love and appreciate all things skating.
And I really resonated with this board.
I thought this was fascinating because, you know, I like history.
I love, especially sports history.
I think it's fascinating.
And this board right here, this, this, this logo, this is the Independent Skate brand.
And they were titans of the skating industry.
And this was their iconic logo.
And like in the last decade or so, all of a sudden, people soured on it.
They said, Oh, no, it's racist or whatever.
And they backed down.
They got, you know, they had to.
They got canceled.
So Tim has brought back Tim and the Boonies have brought back the classic logo here with the uncancelable board.
So head to shop.boonies.
shop.boonieshq.com.
Grab your board.
It's fantastic.
You're going to love it.
But with that, let's get into our first story from ABC News State Department stopping issuance of visitor visas for quote individuals from Gaza.
The department is conducting a thorough review of the issuance process.
So let's get into it.
The U.S. State Department has announced that it is suspending the issuance of all visitor visas for people from the war torn Gaza Strip, including children in need of urgent medical care.
Quote, all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical humanitarian visas in recent days.
That's what the State Department wrote on X on Saturday.
Based on State Department statistics from january twenty twenty five through the end of May, a total of three thousand eight hundred four class B one slash B two visas have been issued for individuals with Palestinian Authority travel documents.
While the State Department numbers do not specify the purpose of the trips nor how many of the 3,804 visas were issued were class B one or B two, so they don't differentiate.
They just give you both in a lump sum there.
Individuals seeking to enter the United States for tourism or medical treatment fall into the B two visa class while B one covers business travel.
And they reached out and obviously they didn't comment.
So one, a lot of people are obviously speculating on this.
The majority of these visas were B two, medical specifically.
You know, this is a tough story because, right, you see these images coming out, these videos coming out of Gaza, and it really is, you know, really grim, grim stuff.
And it tugs at the heart strings, but this is in line.
This is the State Department.
This decision is in line with the America First agenda of the Trump administration.
This has been their stated goal is to prioritize America and any and all foreign policy decisions.
And they don't, they don't want to risk it, right?
I mean, the story of American foreign policy over the last, you know, however many decades has been cleaning up other people's messes.
And this, this is a, this is a huge departure from this.
I mean, they're saying, look, there's a lot of partners in the region that can handle this.
If there are people that with medical needs, right, again, there's regional partners that can handle this.
Why do they need to come to the United States?
Why do we need to set this precedent?
And it's a very salient question.
And the State Department is just saying, no, we're not going to be the ones here to pick up other people's messes.
So I mean, there is also, there's been stories with Margaribia specifically citing terrorist concerns with a lot of these visa issuances.
Again, even then, I don't even think you really need a long Wed justification.
I think you can just say, look, we need to prioritize Americans.
Oh, every time a country gets destabilized and there's a crisis, are we going to admit, you know, thousands of people from there every single time?
I mean, that's not sustainable.
We already saw that with the Syria situation about a decade ago.
And again, it's it sets a terrible precedent because, you know, if you're like for Israel, for example, they can invade a country or, you know, not invade but react to the terrorist attack.
Right.
There's there's a war going on, I guess.
I've got to be careful with wording here.
But there's a war going on and the people are displaced and the precedent is whatever country this is, let's say, you know, Pakistan and India go at it again.
They can just say, well, if there's any refugees left over, they can just ship them over to the US and Europe.
I mean, that was that was the precedent set with Syria.
And we're seeing it again here.
Again, I'm not saying Israel is, you know, pushing for this at all.
You know, who knows?
But there is truth to it that a lot of these countries do feel like the US will always be there to clean up their mess.
And I think this is great.
I mean, really, I mean, look, like I said, this is a humanitarian issue.
Obviously, there's a lot of people with, you know, that aren't.
that are looking for medical treatment, et cetera, et cetera.
But we have to prioritize our interests as the United States.
I mean, this sets such a, it's such a bad precedent every single time that we do this.
And the precedent is if there's a war and there's refugees, we'll bring them in, no questions asked, and that's just not sustainable.
It's not.
So I think this is a great decision from the State Department.
It sets the tone.
And this obviously has been, so far, an entirely new look administration, how we're handling visas specifically.
We have another story here from Fox News.
This just dropped like two hours ago.
This is fascinating.
This is from Fox Rubio State Department yanks more than six thousand student visas due to assault, burglary, and support for terrorism.
The State Department has yanked more than six thousand student visas in twenty twenty five for overstays and law violations, including support for terrorism, Fox News has learned.
The Trump administration has launched multiple initiatives aimed at cracking down on immigration and revoking visas of those attending academic institutions in the U. S. Those who have publicly protested supporting Palestine have faced heightened scrutiny as one example, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in May that the administration was reviewing the visa status of students who participated in pro Palestine protests.
The roughly six thousand visas that were pulled primarily were due to visa overstays or encounters with the law, including assault, DUIs, burglary, and support for terrorism, the State Department told Fox Digital.
We'll get down here, they do a comparison with the Biden administration.
So let's see, those whose visas were pulled due to support for terrorism between two hundred people to three hundred people engaged in behavior such as raising funds for the militant group Hamas, which the US State Department has designated as a terrorist organization, the official said.
Although the State Department told Fox News Digital that approximately 40,000 visas have been pulled in 2025 or sorry, all together at the beginning of that approximately 40,000 visas have been pulled in 2025 in comparison to the 16,000 that were revoked during the same time frame under the Biden administration.
Quote, even if the previous administration was doing less, they were still revoking visas, end quote.
So yeah, I mean, but you look at the numbers here, right?
I mean, these are very, very valid reasons to revoke someone's visa.
unidentified
Right?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
This is a no brainer assault burglary.
Like, what are we doing here?
We have plenty of Americans that are up to these.
We don't, I mean, I know like it's kind of the flavor of the month right now to bring the H1B workers in and replace American workers.
Look, we do crime pretty well as Americans.
We got a lot of good, like really efficient criminals.
I don't know if we need to be replacing criminals with more criminals.
I mean, this is this is no good.
So, um, yeah, see, we're seeing this, uh, obviously raising money for Hamas.
I mean, like, what are we doing here?
Um, and the fact that the State Department has found forty thousand people so far, uh, on these visas that have been up to this behavior, um, compared to the sixteen thousand that were evoked in the same time frame.
So unless there was an increase of, what, twenty four thousand, uh, you know, bad people, uh, between Biden and Trump, that just shows that the Biden admin was asleep at the wheel when when it came to the visa situation that they were just letting people live and let live.
If you need to burglarize or if you need to raise a few bucks for a terrorist organization, we'll look the other way.
And this it really is.
I mean, there's so many, so many examples of our visa programs being exploited.
And it's one thing to exploit a system.
It's another thing to come here and get up to no good with a visa in hand.
And Tim talks about it all the time.
I mean, the State Department reserves the right to yank a visa whenever they want without discretion really.
I mean, like they they maintain the ability to do that.
So, okay, even though they have, you know, justification here obviously with assault, burglary and support for terrorism, if you're out of step with, you know, American policy and you're a guest here, then we have the right to, to yank your visa.
I mean, you know, people say it all the time, but it's true.
It's like, could you imagine going to Saudi Arabia and then protesting against the royal family there?
I mean, ridiculous.
And it's like, okay, great.
We have the First Amendment here, yes, for Americans.
But if you're a guest here, we kind of expect you to act like a guest, right?
You don't just trample mud and mud into the house.
So, um, yeah, again, this is just another, this is, this is consistent.
This is a consistent, consistently tracks with the, uh, America First policy of the Trump administration.
Um, yeah, come on, assault, DUIs, burglary.
I mean, these people, we have, we have too much of this already.
We don't need, we don't need, uh, you know, guests coming in doing this as well.
And the visa overstays.
I mean, again, no brainer.
If you can't even be bothered to renew your visa, then I don't know, uh, you know, I don't know how they could be expected to go through a citizenship process.
I mean, if you can't even handle that, you can't even handle, you know, heading down to the embassy or file, you know, sending an email or two.
I mean, how do we expect you to have the wherewithal to get through the citizenship process.
So yeah, it's a mess, but it's nice to see things are getting mopped up and we have a great example here.
This was from the Washington Times.
No more de facto amnesty.
Trump cuts deportation court backlog for the first time in almost twenty years.
President Trump took the adage.
Is that adage?
That's how you say that adage.
That's adage.
Oh, I say adage.
I just never seen it on in writing.
Here we go.
You know, I have a lot to learn.
I was homeschooled.
I was homeschooled.
So that explains a lot of it.
But President Trump took the adage about finding yourself in a hole and stopping digging to heart, at least when it comes to to illegal immigration, where his almost miraculous improvements at the southern border have resulted in the first sustained decrease in the immigration court backlog in nearly two decades.
Oh my gosh.
I mean, what has been going on?
So mister Trump paired the Biden era backlog of more than four point two million pending cases before immigration judges to three point eight million.
So that may not sound like a big decrease, but if you consider that it's been slowly increasing well, rapidly increasing for the last twenty years, yeah, that's a huge departure from business as usual.
Some of that is because of better efficiency in the immigration courts, officially known as the Executive Office for Immigration Review.
However, the real change has been the drop in new cases, a senior Justice Department official said.
Here's reading what the official said here.
That is entirely due to President Trump's policies securing the border.
It is not a novel concept.
Enforcing the law rather than ignoring it really does work to reduce illegal immigration and the backlog.
So this is really encouraging because I mean, if you're on Twitter a lot, which a lot of you guys are, you're a very political audience, a lot of wonks in the audience, you've seen a lot of expression of dissatisfaction with the Trump mass deportations project thus far.
And in some cases, yes, you'd be justified to be frustrated.
I mean, anyone's justified to be frustrated with the volume of illegal immigration that's occurred over the last twenty, thirty, forty years.
So yes, people really just want them gone, right?
They're tired of waiting.
And Trump obviously ran on mass deportations, iconic signs at the RNC, mass deportations now.
So people's standards are sky high as they should be.
You have the right and you should., and you should feel this way that your country belongs to Americans.
That's that's totally, you're totally justified in that.
But some of the, some of the dooming on Twitter over Trump's immigration policy is a little out of control because, I mean, the amount of bureaucracy that the Trump admin is up against to get mass deportations across the finish line is absolutely mental.
I mean, this, this is the big one that people have talked about is they they have these immigration judges that you they they have this immigration court system and it's just completely gummed up, probably intentionally giving people extra time.
It buys them more time in the country.
So the fact that he's slowly getting this trimmed down is miraculous.
And I mean, the big part is that there's virtually no crossings at the border.
I mean, that really is like you're able to buy some time, have some breathing room.
So, you know, even if you are one of those people that's frustrated with, you know, you're expecting, you know, a much larger number of deportations by now, you have to consider two things.
First, at the very least, just having the boot off your neck for a little while is a great feeling.
And I'm not coping necessarily.
I do think there's something to that.
I mean, because you looked at the I think we just got demoralized during the Biden admin where you were just seeing millions and millions and millions of people pouring across, is it's like, okay, we're buying some time, right?
Trump still has three years to go.
There's still a lot of work being done.
Steven Miller is the mad scientist of deportations.
He's he's had four years to scheme here and now he's gotten his war chest.
So we're starting to see some of these tactics now come into play now that he has the resources for it.
And then second is like, look, a lot of people are self deporting, right?
I mean, that that was the goal that that is a major goal because it saves you from having to dump a lot of resources into these immigration courts or into ICE to, you know, conduct raids as if people can just self deport that solves you a lot of problems and we're seeing a lot and a lot of self deportations which is which is what we want.
That is the best way to get people out, they do it on their own terms and they're gone.
You know, we have the app set up that makes it easier.
And then now what we saw in the big beautiful bill, and we need to ramp this number up is the tax on remittances.
That's kind of the dirty little secret of illegal immigration is a lot of people come here.
and they send however much percentage of their paycheck back to their home country because obviously, you know, you know, ten bucks in America, you know, that won't even buy you a Subway sandwich anymore.
But in Guatemala, I mean, now we're talking, now you're the talk of the town if you've got ten bucks on you.
So, yeah, the remittances, the remittances situation is completely out of control.
And that needs to be taxed like at 100% at least.
That would be in lock step with the rest of the Trump immigration policy platform, which is mass pressure, ratchet up the pressure., create an environment for illegal immigrants that is unsustainable.
It makes it very difficult for them to live here continuously because they don't have the right to.
They're here illegally.
A remittance tax would be a huge, huge game changer.
So with that, we talk a lot about immigration on this show.
We still have a lot of stories to get to.
I'll just briefly go over this one.
I don't have, you know, too much to break down here because it's still developing.
But we do have from NBC News.
Zelenskyy travels to DC to meet with Trump days after the red carpet reception for Putin.
I mean, just in the headline they had to take a little jab at red carpet receptions.
It's like, yeah, he's the president of Russia.
What are you going to do?
Like, you know, send an Uber for him?
I mean, like, what are we doing here?
And it's Alaska.
I mean, like, okay, be one thing if, you know, you brought him to, you know, Beverly Hills.
But I mean, it's Alaska.
You got to show a little love.
So anyway, and I love Alaska.
It's the last frontier.
But anyway, here's from NBC Ukraine Zelenskyy will meet with Trump on Monday afternoon just days after the Trump and Russia Putin summit in Alaska.
There was no ceasefire at the summit, ceasefire deal at the summit.
Talks still may be going on between the two parties, but we'll have to find out.
So now Zelenskyy and the crew, here's, there's a lot of nameses here.
We got, you know, Von der Leyen, the commission president, NATO secretary, Mark Rutt, Kir Starmer's pulling up, Frederick Mertz from Germany, Macron's pulling up, exciting.
Maybe he'll bring his wife, that'd be exciting stuff.
And then Italian Prime Minister Maloney.
So we got the crew rolling out, the squads rolling up, and they're here to beg like dogs.
So that'll be a wonderful thing.
It's just so nice that all these foreign leaders, they come to the White House with Trump there, and they're like petrified.
It's such a nice thing because they used to come when.
when Biden was there and it was like they owned the place.
They spat their feet up on the table and they'd like, you know, be eating a rack of ribs in the Oval Office.
I mean, it was like the disrespect was crazy.
And then Trump comes in and now they're walking in with their heads down and they're like, Oh, I'm sorry, please don't yell at me.
Trump's pulling up like tweets like when the South African president is there, he's like pulling up like highlight reels.
He's like, Hey, watch this, dim the lights.
It's a new frontier.
I'm loving these struggle sessions.
Obviously, the Zelensky one where he just came and just got bullied by Trump and JD Vance for like an hour.
That was funny.
So Trump's sit down with the leaders will come as he has intensified his efforts in recent weeks to end the war in Ukraine.
A more than three year conflict, he insists, would not have taken place if he had been in office.
It's probably true.
So yeah, these cats are rolling up.
They want to plead their case, obviously, and we're going to go and we're going to look at Trump's truth social in the situation.
This was yesterday night or last night, I should say.
This is from Trump, President Zelensky of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants, or he can continue to fight.
Remember how it started, no getting back Obama given Crimea, and he puts in parentheses twelve years ago without a shot being fired, and no going into NATO by Ukraine.
Some things never change.
So Trump's obviously suggesting here with the NATO thing specifically and the Crimea thing that Ukraine is not in a position to just, you know ratchet the time timeline back they will have to make some concessions we see here from Rubio this is also from NBC News Rubio says a Ukraine-Russia ceasefire deal is not off the table so there does although Trump has said obviously the Ukraine's got to make some concessions let's see down the article
here let's find it So Rubio's touching on Putin's reluctance to move towards a peace deal.
I want to find it here.
Right, quote, these are all key elements of any agreement.
We understand that.
And if there's going to be a deal, each side is going to give up on something.
So let me find it here.
Where was it?
unidentified
Potential security guarantees.
Um.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Right, here we go.
Sorry, everyone.
It's at the bottom of the article.
Trump said, if I don't get a ceasefire, Putin is going to pay a price.
And then he walked out of the meeting saying, I didn't get a ceasefire.
This is from Chris Murphy, a Democrat senator.
So take that for what it's worth.
You heard Secretary Rubio downplay sanctions and Putin walks away with a photo op for zero commitments.
So the Democrats are just convinced.
They're convinced that the Trump administration is going to completely walk get walked over for these negotiations.
That's ridiculous.
The whole reason for the Ukraine aid packages that have ramped up in the last few weeks on behalf of the US is because the Democrats under the Biden administration constantly negotiated on the back foot.
We saw it in Afghanistan.
They even though I mean, I and I would agree that withdrawing from Afghanistan was unnecessary.
You have to do that in a controlled and powerful manner.
We're the most powerful country on planet Earth.
You can't just withdraw and negotiate from a position of weakness and negotiate on the back foot.
And the Trump admin realizes this, and the Democrats, since they're so inept at foreign policy and brinksmanship, they just assume that any gesturing that Trump makes towards the Russians is like, is because he's best friend with Putin or something.
That's legitimately the position of the average Democrat because brinksmanship is just completely foreign to them and statesmanship, et cetera, et cetera.
This was an interesting quote from Rubio.
There will have to be some security guarantees for Ukraine, right?
I mean, it's one of their fundamental demands is that if this war were to end, they have to make sure this never happens again.
In order for there to be peace, the Russian side is going to have to accept that Ukraine is a sovereign country that has a right to defend itself and has a right to enter alliances with other countries to defend itself.
How that's constructed, what we call it, how it's built, what guarantees are built in there that are enforceable, that's what we'll be talking about over the next few days.
So Rubio's rhetoric is just completely out of lockstep with what the Democrats are saying.
I mean, I'm going to close that down there.
This is this is the problem is people don't actually read the story and read what these officials are saying.
They're just going off of a tweet of, you know, what, you know, Chris Murphy fires off.
Yes, Rubio is committed to ensuring that Ukraine doesn't get steamrolled, right?
That that's that's the position of the Secretary of State.
And then the Democrats are still insisting that, you know, like Trump and Putin are going to carve up Ukraine or something or whatever.
So yeah, keep an eye on this, this story as Zelensky and the crew pull up.
Maybe we'll get another funny dressing down.
But ultimately, obviously, we hope for a ceasefire and a satisfactory deal to come because we don't want war, especially in Europe.
So yeah, true social.
So let's get to this next story here.
This is from Newsweek.
This is very cringe.
So just brace yourself.
From Newsweek, Gavin Newsom's team doubles down on new JD Vance nickname with dance meme.
Get ready for it, guys.
I didn't even want to cover this, but it's a big story because it makes me so upset.
It's that bad.
unidentified
It's so lame.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
California governor Gavin Newsom has doubled down on his new nickname for Vice President JD Vance.
just dance Vance bro stop I mean dude oh oh no you know blue sky is down there all right take that to blue sky I don't even know maybe the blue skyers would even be upset it's that that's bad.
And what they did was they took a picture of Vance's face and put it on the body.
It doesn't even matter.
It's just like the name alone is just terrible.
I like, I can't stand these people.
And look what they're doing.
They're they're imposing this on us every day.
The Gavin Governor Newsom Press Office.
And I can't mute it either because, like, I kind of need to see it for my job.
And I just get angry every time I see it.
Dude, like Donald Trump tiny hands, it's like how Trump types, I get it, but it's me, a Democrat, saying that.
Isn't that so funny?
unidentified
Ugh.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
And like they're conceding that Trump has completely defined what's funny, right?
They're conceding that Trump is hilarious.
And they're conceding that Trump is the tastemaker as far as communication styles.
Look at this, so nice.
That's something Trump would say.
And then they take this like boomer Facebook meme, but they switch it up and put Gavin Newsom there.
Because like they're so demoralized and so defeated that they're like their their last hope here is just emulating and I guess parodying to some extent., but they're not even really paroding, they're just emulating right wingers.
So it's like, it's hilarious.
It just shows that the culture has shifted so rapidly that the best that the Governor News and Press Office can throw together is like this weird, like half baked parody of Trump, but it's not even really because it does have a level of sincerity to it.
And just dance Vance.
Dude, I mean, dude, what?
They need new staffers.
I mean, are these these, are these the COVID remote learning staffers that came through and are working in these comms departments?
Because, I mean, what, like, what are we doing?
I mean, seriously, this is just, like, Highly anticipated.
This joke died like a year ago.
It was funny for like a week.
The Ray Gun girl dancing or whatever.
I don't even like she was in on it.
And it lasted a week.
And they're dragging it up a year later.
And they probably paid five million dollars to a PR firm to come up with this.
Meanwhile, Trump just keeps calling him new scum and no one really knows what it means.
And it's hilarious.
He didn't pay a dime to a marketing agency for that.
And he cooks them every single time.
So the result of that is Newsom is the favorite now for the Democratic presidential nominee.
So the Democrats are cooked.
They're cooked.
If that's this is their, you know, comedian and chief here just copying.
Trump and he's leading.
This is Polymarket, so you know, take that for what it's worth.
I've said on IRL previously that I don't know if the Democrats are one of, I mean, because Gavin Newsom in comparison to some of these figures here is a bit more moderate, even though I would disagree, but as far as he presents, he presents more moderate, that's fair.
I don't know if the Democrat base is going to be down with us.
I think they're going to be angry and they're going to want to take on AOC.
You know, they want an AOC to go at it, stick it to Trump.
So we'll see.
I mean, like people keep floating Andy Bashir, this is like they call him electabros.
It's these guys on Twitter that their entire thing is just like they just read election results all day and they salivate over that.
And they don't even really care about policy.
They just care about their team winning.
There's a lot of them on the Republican side as well.
I mean, it's hilarious that they think Andy Bashir would have any chance in a Democrat primary.
If you know, he's the governor of Kentucky, which is a red state.
And to be a Democrat governor in a red state, you have to make a lot of concessions that progressives will hang you for.
And then look at some of these names that Polymark is proposing here.
The fact that Kamala Harris is so far down is crazy to me, because I think she's actually got a decent shot.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson is only one percentage point behind Kamala.
That's hilarious.
Isn't he a Republican, The Rock?
unidentified
I think so.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
I don't know.
I think he spoke at the RNC in 2004 or something.
But he's ahead of Jon Stewart.
That's got to make Jon Stewart mad, because I don't know.
Yeah, again, I think The Rock's ever really expressed anything overtly political.
And Jon Stewart just gets up there and just like rages on TV every night.
And he's like supposedly a comedian.
Steven A. Smith, I was saying for a while he might be a sleeper pick but I don't know JB Pritzker I don't think he would fit in the motorcade I don't think he'd fit in the presidential car so I don't know if that would work out too well Corey Booker you know the potato man you know he's just kind of kind of got crazy guys John Fetterman that would be that would be interesting yeah so anyway I could go I could go on and on Let's see here.
We do have a guest, John Root.
We're bringing him in because we do want to cover.
You've probably seen some of the NFL discourse on Twitter, but he's not around yet.
So I'm waiting on the team to update me whenever he's ready.
We'll figure that out, but we do have a.
few more stories here that we can get into.
Let's talk.
DC is close to home.
We're like an hour and some change outside of DC.
I go there a lot.
I'm in town quite a bit.
And I have seen a lot of people are asking me, have you seen, or rather, they should say, do you feel more comfortable?
Do you feel safer in DC?
It still feels crazy.
You still see a lot of homeless.
You still see people just like walking around in the street.
Like who knows how they got there.
But you are seeing an increased police presence because the National Guard is freeing up resources for the Metropolitan Police Department.
So you are seeing an increased police presence in places you wouldn't ordinarily see them.
But we have this fascinating story here from the Wall Street Journal, more National Guard soldiers head to DC and prepare to carry weapons.
So let's read here from the Wall Street Journal, more National Guard troops are heading soon to Washington, DC, and they are preparing to start carrying weapons in the coming days, officials say, a major shift that comes after President Trump said he was deploying them to quote, take back the capital from what he described as violent criminals.
He didn't describe, he just like explained there's a lot of violent criminals in DC that's just objectively true.
Defense officials previously had said the eight hundred National Guard soldiers deployed wouldn't be armed, unlike many federal law enforcement agents sent to the capital.
They also weren't to have weapons in their vehicles, quote, weapons are available if needed, but will remain in the armory, the U. S. Army said in a press release Thursday.
But late Friday, some guards deployed to Washington were told to expect an order to carry weapons, according to people familiar with the planning.
As of Saturday morning, no formal order had been given, a defense department official said.
Three states said they were sending National Guard troops to Washington at the request of the Trump administration.
West Virginia, there we go, it's a great state, will send three hundred to four hundred troops.
South Carolina plans to send two hundred and Ohio is set to deliver one hundred fifty.
The state's governors, all Republicans, said Saturday.
And a White House official said that while additional National Guard troops will be called to the district and might be armed, they aren't making arrests at the time.
The official said that on Friday night, guard soldiers conducted roving patrols on foot and in vehicles around the National Mall.
Since arriving in Washington on Tuesday, National Guard troops' jobs have largely been to serve as a visible presence in public areas, according to defense officials.
They have been assigned administrative and logistical duties, as well as, quote, area beautification work.
So true, that is what is going on because it is a beautiful sight.
The picture they used here is fantastic.
Yeah, there's something to that.
You know, a lot of people on the right are like kind of freaking out about this.
unidentified
Oh, this is like increase in federal presence, you know.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
And it's like these are the same people that saw what Bukele was doing.
Like, we need that here.
What did you think the Bukeleification of the U.S. would look like?
Do you think it was vibes and essays?
No, it's going to be National Guard troops who are mostly patriots open carrying in your nation's capital, because that's what you got to do, right?
I mean, we've talked about previously how embarrassing the situation is in Washington, D.C., our nation's capital.
I mean, every time you go there, you're going to see a lot of foreign tourists and a lot of and you'll engage with foreign dignitaries, a lot of staffers coming from overseas.
unidentified
It's embarrassing.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
It's a really bad look.
We're the United States, right?
It's embarrassing to have these people come here and see and they see this America and the movies that's described to them and then they come here and they just see like Daisy or they see like, you know, a zombie movie.
It's really embarrassing.
So, I mean, it's a matter of time that we start ramping up our what was the what was the area beautification work?
That's how you mitigate that's how you mitigate that's how you mitigate criminal activity is just the presence alone.
I mean again it's it's unclear what what authority that these National Guard troops have but I think you'll consider twice you'll think twice about cleaning out a CVS's deodorant.
If there's a bunch of dudes locked and loaded outside ready to roll, rolling around in Humvees.
It looks like a Call of Duty map out there right now.
And it's great.
And like, it's really funny if you go on DC right now and there's these Humvees rolling around.
And then you just have normal people just like jogging around, having a good time.
And they'll never, I mean, a lot of them that are on the left will never tell you that they feel more safe.
Because in their head, they have those weird like warped power dynamics where they view like the military and police as somehow more threatening to them than like actual drug addicted zombie homeless criminal turbo wild crazy people.
There's a lot of adjectives I that are safe for work, but these people that are just running around the streets, throwing people around like rag dolls on the subway.
And yeah, these liberals will be like, oh, actually, the military is the scary one.
I'm like, really?
When's the last time you saw, when's the last time that a National Guardsman went into a CVS and stole deodorant?
Maybe that has happened.
I don't know.
But the homeless are doing it every night.
They love it.
That's what they're all about.
We'll read a little more of the article here because this is really interesting stuff.
Pentagon officials said that the National Guard troops are trained in deescalation techniques and would serve much as they did in Los Angeles in June.
At that time, Trump deployed more than four thousand National Guard members, seven hundred Marines, and other federal agents in response to protests against raids conducted by US immigration and customs enforcement.
Their deployments sparked backlash when images circulated of National Guard vehicles parked by immigration checkpoints and US Marines backing ICE teams.
And that gets us into the second story from the Washington Post.
Let's get the headline.
It's always important.
Immigration enforcement shaped first week of Trump's DC takeover.
So while everyone was oooing and awing at the Humvees, everyone's getting their Hinge profiles updated, snapping photos in front of tanks or whatever, little did we know there was ice was cooking in the background.
It provided a good smokescreen for them.
So let's read here from the Washington Post.
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, which is still the craziest name for a Mayor Bowser, really?
I mean, what's Mayor Waluigi coming in soon anyway?
It's not even a dare.
DC Attorney General Brian Schwab.
Come on, what are we doing with these last names?
Emerged from the Federal Court Friday in the midst of one of the greatest crises.
in the history of home rule for the district and applauded what they saw as one win for the city.
A judge indicated DC's police chief could remain in charge of the force.
I would say the biggest crisis in the history of home rule for the district is the fact that they don't even rule over their own streets.
I mean, for the last fifty years that's been the case.
It's like, again, there's only so many ways I can describe it, but it really is really grim stuff out on the street.
I mean, it is total delinquency at all times.
Even now, like the city has changed in the last ten years.
Ask anyone that's lived in DC for a while.
We had Scott Greer on the show last week.
He's been in DC for a long time.
And he's like, just five years ago, it wasn't like this.
I mean, he's like, ten years ago, the nightlife in the city was completely different.
Where now the nightlife in the city, you know, you get some side quests along the way because you're engaging with hostile mobs.
I mean, it might be one of the few places in the world where you have PvP enabled nightlife.
unidentified
Yeah, it is.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
You got to be ready to throw hands at any moment, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
And now the National Guard is involved, so it's really getting wild.
It really is like a Call of Duty, Matt.
But yeah, so let's keep reading.
Sorry, I get sidetracked.
But let's see.
But on the ground, the reality was Mercury..
Yeah, the Washington Post, Democracy Dies in Darkness.
Yeah, hilarious.
unidentified
Okay.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Thanks, Bezos.
As the federal court hearing rapped, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, Patriot, was at the DC Police Headquarters surveying the department that President Donald Trump had declared to be under federal control.
So these, these, you know, these chowderheads were getting all hyped up.
Some judge said, Oh yeah, the DC Police Chief can remain in force.
Meanwhile, Patriot Stephen Miller was browsing through the police headquarters, scheming and scheming and plotting.
It's a, it's a beautiful thing.
So Stephen Miller is in there.
He's scouting.
Miller's presence at the DC Police Headquarters showed how rapidly the White House had become embedded in the machinery of local law enforcement in the nation's capital.
And it highlighted how much the first week of the federal takeover has focused on the topic he has directed most intensely, immigration enforcement.
More than 40% of the roughly 300 arrests reported by the White House targeted undocumented immigrants, also known as illegals.
Well, undocumented.
Undocumented.
I mean, I don't even like, I have a driver's license at document.
I don't know.
Now, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is seeking to compel the D.C. police to fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, the issue that lit the fuse that led to the city suing on Friday.
We'll read here.
If the immigration directors move forward, DC could confront an unprecedented quandary whether to comply with or resist an agenda that fuses a crackdown on crime with the removal of undocumented immigrants and homeless people from city streets.
Trump has already suggested that if the agenda works here, it could be exported to other liberal urban centers.
The president's authority comes from an untested provision of the DC Home Rule Act that allows him to use DC police for quote federal purpose if he declares an emergency as Trump did last week while violent crime.
This is what they keep doing.
This is what they keep doing here.
Get ready for this.
Get ready for the spin from the paper of record.
Well, one of the papers of record.
While violent crime rose to historic levels in 2023 and remains a concern for many DC residents, it has fallen substantially over the past two years.
As in true, okay, as it truths, please.
Again, there's two things going on.
There's two ways to debunk this one.
I mean, there was so many articles that DC police commander who was like falsifying violent crime data.
unidentified
Yeah.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
He got busted.
I mean, that happens a lot.
He just happened to be busted for it.
And second, it's homicide.
rates haven't really dropped in a dramatic fashion.
And so the easiest way to tell if they're fudging the numbers on violent crime is you track homicides.
Because homicide is the one crime that you cannot cover up.
I mean, a homicide, someone's gone, so people are going to notice.
You can't cover that up.
You can't move some numbers around to make your homicide numbers look better.
And if you look at all these cities that are popping the champagne over violent crime going down, their homicide rate is staying pretty consistent.
So it's not like all these delinquents are like, you know what?
I'm done with robbing.
You know, I'm done with arson.
You know, but I can't let go of the killing, right?
You know, I can, you know, I can go without burning a house down.
You know, I can go without throwing a couple bricks through a window or, you know, beating someone up.
But I just can't, you know, the homicide thing.
It's still, it was my first love.
Yeah, it doesn't, it doesn't happen.
You know, that doesn't happen though.
The homicide tracks with the violent crime.
This is, this is, you know, rookie stuff.
So anyway, yeah, they can say it's full.
Whatever.
Regardless, the violent crime rate there is still like 100 for every 100,000.
I think is the number, which puts it.
on par with a lot of angry cities and countries that have a lot of crime, which is embarrassing.
The violent crime rate should be zero.
I mean, that's totally feasible.
You've been to Singapore, you know?
You've been to Dubai.
You've been to San Salvador.
I mean, hello, violent crime, you can fix it.
It's not a it's not a something you have to tolerate.
You can just fix it.
You can just do things.
And that's exactly what they're doing here.
Miller outlined the agenda on Fox News Saturday bragging about federal officials seizing illegal weapons targeting more than seventy homeless campments that had, quote, scarred and disfigured the public streets.
So true, saying ICE agents were embedded among the local police.
So great work from ICE.
Thank you to the National Guard for creating a smoke screen.
Well done boys.
Keep going.
And if you want to join ICE, there's some really great benefits you should consider it.
I think it would be a monster job and you could be part of the Reconquista of the United States.
It's a beautiful thing.
We're going to get into our last story.
We're actually we got a hot swap, last second edition.
We're actually bringing James Kluge in to talk about this last story.
Got about fifteen minutes with him.
I'm just going to I'm going to te off the story here, a quick story before we jump in.
This is from ABC News.
NFL teams will again stencil messages in the end zone.
The NFL's consisting is on field social.
So you know, you love it.
We all love this, th the whoa crap going on and the pain here.
So 32 teams, you get to choose from one of these four options.
End racism, stop hate, choose love or inspire change.
And it takes all of us.
We'll be stenciled in the opposite end zone for all games.
So I, what are we doing?
I mean, is the NFL really, they're doubling down on this?
I mean, it just feels so juvenile and weird that we still have to do this.
Trump won this loss at the ballot box.
We're going to bring James Klugen to to discuss this.
Surge is getting it set up.
The King.
Let's see here.
Drum roll.
James, how are you doing?
Can you hear me?
james klug ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, what's going on?
How you doing?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
What's going on, dude?
Hey, yeah, so we're talking NFL.
I don't know if you saw the NFL end zones that have been graced with, here, I'll do it for sure.
unidentified
Where's that guy?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Oh, I don't know.
It won't let us go full screen.
I don't know.
unidentified
Anyway, the NFL, do I need to turn my camera, by the way?
james klug ▲ ● ▼
I'm, I got a kind of a mobile rig here right now.
Yeah, it could be funky right now.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
It should be.
I don't know.
But hey, this is how we do it here, Rumble Live.
We, uh, we're on the fly.
We do things.
We're agile.
We're flexible.
But, uh, yeah, I wanted your thoughts on, uh, on the NFL situation.
Yeah, they're letting you choose from four great options to put in the end zone, and racism being one of them.
You know, there's a lot of racists out there that are watching the NFL and they see the paint on the end zone and they think, wow, I could be so much better.
I, you know, I shouldn't.
I shouldn't continue down this path.
So let's see.
unidentified
Here we go.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
We got full screen.
That looks good.
unidentified
I gotta reframe this one second.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
So anyway, so I was curious, yeah, what are the options?
james klug ▲ ● ▼
What are the, I'm playing a little bit of catch up here, but what are the options right now?
Because end racism, I mean, that's going to be disappointing a lot of fans.
unidentified
Yeah.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
That's really going against kind of what they're looking for.
You know, there's a lot of people on the other side of that issue, right?
So in this kind of national debate that we're having, what are the other options?
Do we know?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, it was end racism, stop hate, choose love or inspire change.
So you have four great options there.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
What is this inspire change?
I don't know.
Maybe the fourth one, I I'm not really sure.
Are people allowed to vote on this stuff?
The craziest thing, like, why are we still doing this?
You know, I thought Project 2025 was supposed to eliminate all this nonsense we're dealing with.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
You know what I mean?
Like we voted for that.
We voted for that change.
But yeah, dude, the fact that this is still going on kind of blows my mind.
I think that they're just looking for like national attention at this point because it's everything has become so much more conservative.
The pendulum has swung so much that I think they're just looking for like Donald Trump's attention, attention from the administration, you know what I mean?
But yeah, I I don't know.
I mean, I I know that when I was going to a Philadelphia Eagles game shout out to the Eagles, I saw that they had like end racism on, you know, kind of whatever.
I'm not the biggest sports expert here, but in the touchdown area basically.
And dude, at this point, like everyone just ignores this stuff.
unidentified
Right.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
Like I don't even know who are they doing this?
for, right?
Like who's actually concerned about this stuff?
Who's actually interested in seeing that on the field?
Nobody cares about this stuff.
I don't know what we're still doing.
Like I thought we were done with this.
Apparently we're not.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's something to specifically targeting the NFL, because I mean, you know, love it or hate it, obviously there's a lot of people very critical of Americans' fascination with professional sports.
And a lot of those concerns are justified.
But again, like I said, for better or for worse, the NFL is an institution.
It is distinctly American.
And it is something that is really important to a large number of men across this country.
It's something they look forward to on Sundays and Monday nights.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
Right.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
There seems to be a kind of a more of a demoralization tactic, but it and that used to work.
Like I remember when the NFL first started doing this stuff and they had like the black national anthem and stuff like that, you did feel a bit like helpless to some degree because you're like, Oh, they're really doing this and there's like, they're going to shove this down my throat now.
But now it's almost like kind of embarrassing.
You're like, dude, why?
Nobody else is still doing this.
I mean, like we saw Pride Month where none of these, you know, companies changed their logos or very few of them changed their logos.
So now I don't feel helpless.
I'm just kind of confused.
I'm like, what are we doing?
james klug ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, what are they still doing?
I mean, maybe at this point they're just looking for any little bit of attention, trying to make headlines like, oh my, maybe the goal is trying to get the headline.
Oh, they're still doing this kind of thing.
You know what I mean?
Like maybe that's the goal.
For a lot of these organizations, you know, they're run by professional business people and they're looking to be in the headlines.
So maybe this is just one last hurrah trying to get into those headlines, at least for the next four years.
You know what I mean?
Like that's their big focus.
That's their big goal.
I know that there's like a male cheerleader and whatnot.
Everyone's thinking, hey, we're done with that.
Well, people are also talking about it, right?
So maybe that's just kind of this last woke hurrah BS trying to be like, hey, we're not done like fizzling out.
But yeah, I I don't know.
I mean, certainly like Gen Z's not putting up with it.
They don't they don't tolerate that nonsense in sports.
And I think a lot of it's just being ignored.
But the US, one thing I will say, we are a lot further ahead than a lot of other places.
Like, dude, in Canada they're still doing like land recognition, right?
They might be doing it in UK as well.
I mean, that stuff is so over top and so occupied Roma land.
Oh, it's just so gross dude.
It's like, what are you guys doing?
You're like, this is ridiculous.
Yeah.
But, um, so at least we're further ahead on that stuff.
But yeah, I don't know.
It's a mixture of me wanting to say everyone's ignoring it it.
Like the people at home and that go to the games are ignoring it.
But it's still right now making headlines just because everything's swinging so much more to the right.
You know what I mean?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that's I think that's a big aspect of what's going on is the NFL is so big.
It takes a lot for the average NFL fan to be dissuaded not to tune in to watch.
And the NFL knows that.
And so I think that's why they feel like they can push the envelope a little more.
Like you said, to grab headlines.
Because they know that that audience is not going anywhere.
Because they can, I mean, the amount of crap they put their audience through during COVID and they didn't shake them.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
So it's one of those things.
Things like there are certain companies with certain audiences that you can put pressure on and you can actually cancel, right?
We saw that with Bud Light.
Like who was their clientele, right?
It was college students.
They didn't want to do this whole trans woke gross stuff.
That was the successful boycott because they were out of their realm, right?
Their audience said absolutely not.
Well, NFL is super mixed and people are so dedicated to it.
Like I have a ton of friends.
Dude, what's the Sunday Red Zone, right?
Right?
Red Zone is like a religious experience to them, right?
And I know that sounds kind of pathetic, but like, you know, they they're obsessed with it.
They love it.
It's every single Sunday.
They look forward to it.
it, right?
And so, kind of going on what you were saying, NFL's basically at a point where they could just smack someone across the face over and over again, call it fat, call it ugly.
And they're still going to be like, well, I'm still going to watch the games, dude.
I don't even care.
People don't care at this point.
They will literally tolerate anything.
NFL knows that, but within reason, right?
Like maybe they have one last raw of a lot of woke nonsense over the next three years or so.
If I were to guess, I think it's going to be calming down because people really just don't care about it.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
I mean, that really is the thing is the national environment has changed so much.
But yeah, like I remember during COVID, I mean, we had the Kaepernick thing and NFL fans didn't really know how to react.
So they were just like, Oh, he's not a good quarterback.
Like, that was their problem with them.
And then you had like, even like NASCAR.
Like, I remember NASCAR was getting crazy during COVID where they had like the guy, you know, LARPing like it was like the 50s, like there was a noose in his garage or whatever.
And like, that was like a whole thing.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
And then it was the garage pull down, dude.
They were looking for it anywhere.
unidentified
Yeah.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
They were looking for it anywhere.
So we've definitely gone away from that, right?
We've definitely gone away from that.
Where like, didn't Kaepernick just have his, uh, his new documentary series for everyone that doesn't know his story, which is like three people maybe tops.
They had that canceled, you know?
It's just like, nobody cares, bro.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
The national, I mean, another indication you can tell the national environment is changing because college football is getting so popular.
And it's like, to a degree, I think a lot of football fans have, I mean, I don't know what the TV numbers look like, but a lot of, at least anecdotally, a lot of guys I know younger guys prefer college football to the NFL because college football seems to celebrate a lot of aspects of American culture that make us great that the NFL has abandoned.
I mean, for one, it's just like vitality and youthfulness and just like love for the game.
Because like the NFL, there's just there's a kind of degree of coldness because there's so much money involvedved and everything.
I know college football is getting pretty bad at the NIL stuff, but, um, college football, it still feels like to a degree the players actually care about the program that they're playing for.
It means a little bit more.
Um, so I think it's really interesting.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
There's just like hardcore, uh, meritocratic aspect of it as well, where it's like who's going to get into the NFL, you know what I mean?
Like there's that energy as well.
There's you representing your tribe, your school, your college.
That's really big deal too.
I know there's similarities there with NFL and whatnot, but yeah, I think to a certain degree when it comes to or probably an extreme degree when it comes to college football as well.
I mean, dude, it's it's do or die for a lot of these kids.
Like they've worked their entire lives, they're going for the NFL and that's all that matters.
You know, all that other nonsense doesn't freaking matter.
They're not safe.
You know, they're not safe in their job or anything.
It's, it's, hey, you get injured, you lose that possibility of getting in the NFL.
There's nothing of that, you know, nonsense.
There's no room for nonsense when it comes to that, you know?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Um, so I think overall like, and we're seeing with the cheerleader, obviously people are really angry, um, but there's this general sense of the culture in America moving to the right.
Because you are seeing some, there are still some holdovers.
People, especially around the immigration thing, get spooked pretty easily.
Um, you're seeing a lot of of podcasters come out and basically countersignal the Trump administration's immigration policy.
So it's like, okay, yes, I mean, we should be happy that the overton window has moved to the right.
Like Sidney Sweeney's literally going on TV and is like, I have blond hair and blue eyes.
It's the best.
And that's like normal now.
And it's like, okay, wow, this really is, this really is Trump's America.
It's getting wacky and wild out here.
You know, no one is.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
We knew we were back when white people started showing up back in ads.
We knew there was a change going on, you know, like actually attractive people as well just in general are back in ads.
We knew we were back.
As for the male cheerleader thing, I mean, like, haven't there always been?
there's always been male cheerleaders, but they're there for like a supportive kind of position in cheerleading, right?
They do the lifting, they do all that stuff.
They're pretty big guys.
Usually, I'm pretty sure they're straight dudes too.
Like they're just big, straight guys that throw up the flyers.
And in this case, we have a guy like dancing like a girl.
Again, Project 2025, we voted against this stuff.
Go hit the oil rigs, get out of here.
So we're not tolerating that.
But I think that's another thing where it's like, you know, people are doing these little things here and there for, okay, well, this is the dominant kind of culture right now.
Not saying that, you know, the woke people are saying,, Oh, woke is dead.
Oh, it's totally gone.
No, like, you know, these psychopaths still control every single major institution in the United States.
But culturally, there has been a pretty significant shift, especially with, you know, Gen Z, Gen Alpha.
Like, they don't really tolerate this stuff.
So I still think, like I said, they're doing a lot of that stuff to to grasp on those headlines.
But, yeah, what were you saying about the immigration aspect?
Podcasters going back on, Oh my gosh, mass deportations are actually happening.
This is spooky.
Let's give the left everything they want.
Is that what you're talking about?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't want to name names per se, but yeah, you're seeing people.
Yeah, they're like, What about my gardener?
No, no, I needed him.
unidentified
My God.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, dude, what are we going to do without exploiting the cheap illegal labor?
I have these conversations on the street all the time with people because, like, that's obviously the biggest thing that stands out for the Trump administration.
And when people are, like, criticizing it, that's the thing that they bring up, right?
Oh, my God, masked, dangerous guys kidnapping people.
But we kind of figured this would be the case going into the election.
Like, you know, everyone knew that, holy crap, we just opened the floodgates.
We allow millions of people in.
Americans get killed.
You have a record-breaking human trafficking crisis, sex trafficking crisis, child trafficking crisis.
I mean, the list goes on and on.
There's no positives to this.
We knew, though, once the mass deportations would start, the only goal for the media right now, basically, is, hey, capture everything bad that is happening with ICE.
And we need to make it, every single little instance, a headline.
So if someone's resisting arrests, that goes CNN mainstream news.
Oh my God, look, they're being aggressive with this illegal immigrant, you know, and so that constant footage is getting a lot of people to kind of buckle similar to the pressure that people were facing maybe in like 2020 with posting a black square.
It's kind of that similar vibe where it's like, oh, we need to keep bombarding you with, look at this poor little, you know, Jose.
He's being apprehended.
It turns out he like, you know, played around with children and none of us knew that, but you figure that out three days later.
Nobody follows up and understands it.
So you end up with a bunch of ignorant people that are just super upset and that includes podcasters, you know, like I'm not intelligent just because you put a mic up to my mouth.

Wow, I mean, I I agree with the sentiment we do need to start putting tariffs on podcasting equipment.
This is getting a little out of control.
Exhibit A right here for me.
I mean, what, like, you know, but, uh, well, dude, thanks for jumping in.
It was a last second hot swap, but I really appreciate it.
Where can people find you at?
james klug ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, you guys can find me at youtube dot com slash James Klug or James Klug on Instagram, real James Klug on everything else.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Awesome, dude.
Well, I appreciate it.
Well, hopefully we can get an extended chat.
Sometimes we get a full, full interview in.
So appreciate it, man.
Have a good rest of your day.
james klug ▲ ● ▼
Let's do it.
Thanks.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
See ya.
All righty, guys.
Well, that was James Klug.
He came in, saved the day, held it down, gave us some really good, correct takes on the NFL.
I just want to thank you guys for joining me for this hour of the Rumble Live show.
I don't know.
It's been a little up in the air recently with the Rumble lineup.
Whoever comes after us, I'm not entirely sure.
Maybe Surge.
unidentified
I'm not sure now.
No.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, we don't know.
So we would love to raid, but we don't know.
We don't know who.
We don't know what to do.
So, uh, anyway, yeah.
Thank you for hanging out.
Hopefully we can get Tim back soon.
Really hope so.
Yeah, we need Tim.
He's the goat.
I mean, his name's in the channel name.
I mean, what do we.
That's not Take Cass.
It's Tim Cass.
So, uh, yeah, we need Tim back.
Uh, just yeah, I pray for him.
You know, he's he's worked a lot.
He's, you know, grinding.
So we'll get him back here soon.
I'm optimistic.
Thanks to producer Surge for holding it down.
Yo.
You can find me on X and Instagram at Real Tape Brown.
Uh, come hang out.
Maybe send me what you think should be in the NFL end zone.
I think there should be another option.
They should let you vote and we can put whatever we want in the end zone.
I think that'd be a lot of fun.
We can have some naughty words.
So anyway, yeah, thank you for hanging out.
Enjoy the rest of your day and we'll see you tonight for Timcast IRL at 8 p.m.
