President Donald Trump was asked about what's he going to do about these activist judges, and he didn't actually say this. I want to make sure this is very clear as we get off the to a good start here. He didn't actually say he wants to suspend habeas corpus, but he kind of did. He said we may have to do something that only three other presidents have ever done, and I hope it doesn't go that way. And considering the conversation that's been occurring on podcasts with, say, Steve Bannon and also DC Drano, aka Rogan O'Hanley's question to the press secretary about suspension of habeas corpus and then Charlie Kirk tweeting out that the President is considering suspending habeas corpus, it seems like that may be, at the very least, a big ask that Trump is trying to make. Essentially saying to these judges, if I have to, I will use Article 2, Section 9 of the Constitution and suspend habeas corpus for illegal immigrants and deport them, which would be a massive move if he did. But we got to break this down because I want to stress that Trump didn't explicitly say the words habeas corpus. I don't know what else he could be insinuating. The other big news, of course, is that the US And Ukraine have signed this minerals deal. Now, this may signal a coming end to the war. Why? Because we want those minerals and we ain't going to get them so long as Russia is shooting missiles and shooting guns. However, some are concerned that this basically means the US Is going to stay entrenched in this war now with an active financial interest tied to winning it. Hopefully that won't be the case. Putin did offer up a ceasefire. We'll see if that actually plays out. And a couple other stories we'll get to. We'll get the fun ones where Donald Trump said that the ABC News was fake news to this this reporter's face. And it was golden. We'll talk about all that. But before we do my friends, we got a great sponsor. It's bearskin. Do you guys notice that I'm wearing this, this hoodie shell right now? It's. It's so good. I'm super impressed. I really am. So you guys remember that we did a, we were sponsored by Bearskin before. It's B, A, E, R, S, K, I, N. And we actually got some sent to us to try out. And I'm incredibly impressed. So basically this, this thing I'm wearing right here, this is the shell. It zips into this super thick fleece hoodie that I, I can't actually wear because it's way too hot. It's, it's, it's a tank. It's basically a three in one hoodie rain jacket combo. You can zip them together and boom, you got a waterproof system that can handle everything from cold mornings to sudden rain, whatever. The hoodie itself, it's built like a tank, but it feels like a pullover. Made with 340gsm grams. That gsm of original bare skin fleece. It's got 10 pockets inside and outside. It's not bulky at all. It's easy to wear, it looks great and still breathable when you're out working, hiking or running errands. Honestly, these things, I'm extremely impressed. Legit. I actually am. This is awesome. Phil's even wearing one. You can unlock a 60% off deal on the bearskin hoodie today. Here's what you do. Just text the word Tim to 36912 right now. Super easy to do. Just text Tim to the number 36912. They'll send you a link for 60% off that you can come back to later. Especially if you're doing something else right now and you still want to secure that discount link also. Basically. That's very clever. That's a smart way to do it. Make sure people have access to that because I know a lot of people listen to this podcast, are like, they're driving like, I can't get in there. But that'll make it easy for you guys.

Myron Gaines
Hey, what's up man? Happy to be back.
Ian Crossland
Who are you? What do you do?
Myron Gaines
Myron Gaines, one half of the Fresh Fit podcast. Do political, cultural, dating commentary, all that type of stuff. Monday through Friday, my iron Gaines X on YouTube and Rumble and the Fresh Fit podcast of course, as usual, Monday through Friday as well. 8:00pm all the way up until 2:00 in the morning sometime. So wow.
Ian Crossland
All right, on. Thanks for hanging out. We got Ian.
Tim Pool
I want to be on one of those shows one day with all those.
Myron Gaines
Hey man, let me know. You're moving out to Miami, so yeah.
Tim Pool
I'll be down there to visit next week. So let's make something that'd be fun as hell.
Myron Gaines
Hang on with some girls. I think they'd love that.
Tim Pool
That'd be so wild. Just talk about love and communication. If you mind blowing, you can see.
Myron Gaines
The illusion that I see every day.
Tim Pool
So awesome. Tim, I want to shout out your daily show. Your Tim Tim Cast channel with you had Ben Davidson on today. Awesome, dude.
Ian Crossland
I mean, maybe we should talk about that too because this power outage in Europe. Ben Davidson, he's a space weather guy, was basically saying at the same time the power went out, you could see the solar panels, excess output. And he was saying the magnetosphere got weak. And this wasn't a solar storm, it was normal solar radiation leaking into the earth causing this, what do they call it, atmospheric induction or something. So it's pretty nuts. But he was like, I didn't expect this stuff to start happening until the 2000s. Now the power is going out. Also happened in Puerto Rico. Do you guys know that?
Phil Labonte
No.
Ian Crossland
The entire island went out of power.
Tim Pool
Same time, same storm, same same issue.
Ian Crossland
Different storm a week prior.
Tim Pool
I got to say, great stuff. I'm glad you're interviewing people on that show because that was super cool to see Ben. And also I want to point people to my channel on YouTube x rumble. I'm going to be interviewing Richard gage tomorrow at 4pm Eastern Standard Time. Yeah, he found architects and engineers for 911 truth. The guy is an OG when it comes to studying the twin towers, the collapses of the twin towers. He brings the receipts. So come check me out at 4pm tomorrow and I'll see you there.
Phil Labonte
Hello everybody. My name is Phil Abonti. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all that Remains. I'm an anti communist and a counter Revolutionary. Let's get into it.
Ian Crossland
Here's a story from the Post Millennial. They say Trump considers suspending writ of habeas corpus to combat judges blocking deportation. Now, I must admit, when we originally thinking the big story for today that we want to cover is this Ukraine peace deal. Not peace deal, but the minerals deal. But this is. Should it be true? Massive. Now, the thing is, Trump didn't explicitly say it, but I think it's clear what he's intending. Charlie Kirk said it. Charlie Kirk is in the know. So maybe he's just insinuating or maybe Charlie knows something. But we've been hearing this conversation bubbling up. I gotta be honest, it sounds like the inner circle, Donald Trump's team is there. They're putting out feelers on the suspension of habeas corpus. The President has the authority to do it under Article 2, Section 9 of the Constitution. He can in the event of an invasion. Let's, let's let me play this tape for you guys. You can hear for yourself what he said and then we'll go through it. You mentioned this last night in your.
Phil Labonte
Speech in the comb.
Myron Gaines
We're facing an unprecedented situation.
Ian Crossland
There's a lot of abuses of nationwide.
Myron Gaines
Injunctions sort of seemingly designed to curtail.
Ian Crossland
Your power, specifically when it comes to deporting these illegal violent aliens that came in under the previous administration. Have you spoken to your team about ways to mitigate this and continue to deliver to the American people?
Terry Moran
There are ways to mitigate it and there's some very strong ways. There's one way that's been used by three very highly respected presidents, but we hope we don't have to go that route. But there is, is one way that has been used very successfully by three presidents, all highly respected and hopefully we don't have to go that way. But there are ways of mitigating that. I want to thank you all very much.
Ian Crossland
There are ways. Charlie Kirk tweets. President Trump is considering suspending writ of habeas corpus for illegal aliens to combat national injunctions by activist judges designed to block deportations. President Abraham Lincoln famously issued the Presidential Proclamation 94 suspending the writ of habeas corpus during the Civil War. We then have this story of common dreams. Progressive activist site Absolute Insanity. Right wing activist asks if Trump will suspend habeas corpus to expel more migrants. And then, of course, appearing on Steve Bannon's War Room Media reports, MAGA influencer tells Steve Bannon Trump, quote, will have no choice, end quote, but to suspend habeas corpus. And that was a week ago. I think these narratives are emerging because people who are in the inner circle are telling Trump, his advisor telling him this, these nationwide injunctions are unconstitutional. They're not going to stop anything you try to do on deportation. They will circumvent. However, let me pull this up. Article 2 of the Constitution right here. Right. Executive power vested in the president. We go down to. I'm sorry, did I get. Wait, where is it? Clause, section what? Sec. I got the wrong one. Which article was. It was Article 9. I think I had the wrong article pulled up.
Phil Labonte
I'm not sure what you're looking for, so I can't help.
Ian Crossland
There's. Under the executive authority. The president has the authority to declare. I got to figure out which one this is. I thought I had pulled up. I pulled the wrong one. Trump has. The president has the authority, during times of rebellion or invasion to suspend habeas corpus.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Tim Pool
You'll find it. I. In regarding this as an invasion, I was thinking a couple of days ago, I've been thinking this for a while. Even if the Biden administration had tried to defend our country against the invasion against. There was like, 12 million. You found it.
Ian Crossland
Wrong article. Okay, my bad.
Tim Pool
Which you got.
Ian Crossland
Article one, Section nine based. The privilege of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it.
Tim Pool
So you might think, is it an invasion if they don't have weapons? Well, you know, technically, yes. So even if the Biden administration had defended our borders against it and only 3 million people got through, instead of 12 million, we'd still have to do something about those 3 million people.
Phil Labonte
The Biden administration invited people. They didn't do anything to prevent illegal immigration. They were not defending the border. To me, this is obvious. I know that there are a lot of people that are gonna be like, oh, well, this is a problem, and the president can't do this or it's unconstitutional. There was absolutely an invasion of millions and millions and millions and millions of people that the previous administration just allowed into the country. The only way you can get rid of them. And we've talked about this. You are not going to be able to have every single person go in front of the judge, and that's what the left wants. So take that option off the table. Other presidents in history have done it during unprecedented times. This is an unprecedented situation.
Myron Gaines
Do it.
Ian Crossland
So I'll tell you where my mistake was. I was assuming this is under. Under Article 2 because it relates to the president's powers, because Presidents did this. However, the argument that people have is that Section 9 pertains to the legislative branch. And I don't know that that actually is true just because it's under Article 1, which Section 1 states legislative powers vested in Congress and largely deals with Congress. And the reason I say this is that Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus unilaterally. And it was only a few years later Congress actually passed a bill basically saying, yeah, that was okay, like that he did that. So the question's going to be, can the President unilaterally do this? Well, the precedent is that he can.
Phil Labonte
Of course he can.
Ian Crossland
And. Right. And this is going to get very interesting. I don't know. I got no answers for you. We can't exist in a country where you can let in 20 million illegal immigrants, and then Trump can't use standard deportation powers if it happens again, and.
Tim Pool
Yet again, you know, you just can't.
Phil Labonte
It's not even just about Trump. It's about the following administration trying to right a wrong that the previous administration did. They neglected to do their job. Joe Biden himself said, you should surge the border, invited anyone that could get here into the country, and then they started shipping them throughout the country in order to change the political makeup of the several states. That's what the HHS was doing with the refugee resettlement program. These are all well documented. We talked about this. That was a real program that the HHS was doing. It's not happening anymore under Kennedy, thankfully. But the, the remedy for this is to get the people that are here illegally out of here. And if the requirement to put them in front of a judge, which I don't even think that that's actually a requirement anyways, but if that's the, the, the narrative that the left's going for, that's what people want to see. Just get rid of the habeas corpus for non citizens. And this shouldn't be a blanket for all Americans. If you're in the US and you're a citizen, you should, of course, you should have your, your, you know, the right to habeas corpus. But, but when it comes to, you know, here, if people that are here illegally just ship them out, what about.
Tim Pool
People on green cards, legal, legal visitors?
Phil Labonte
Well, those people wouldn't be subject to deportation for being here illegally if they.
Tim Pool
Had habeas corpus stripped. If only citizens remained with habeas corpus, what would that mean exactly for people that were here on a green card?
Phil Labonte
I think the State Department could come up with a solution for that.

Phil Labonte
A state would say, okay, you're here on a green card, then okay, we can, you can stay. Because green cards are something that are. Green cards are at the discretion of the State Department.
Tim Pool
So like a visa.
Phil Labonte
Those are also.
Tim Pool
Someone's here on a visa. But. So if the habeas corpus was suspended for a human in, in the United States, what would that mean? They have no civil rights?
Phil Labonte
No, that just means that that means to deport them. They don't have to go in front of a judge.
Tim Pool
What other rights?
Ian Crossland
This, this means specifically one thing. Illegal immigrants right now can be subject to expedited removal. They'll go before judges. That's just not a thing that happens. An ICE agent can see a guy and say, we have reason to believe that you're an illegal immigrant. Do you have paper, you have an idea or whatever? If the suspicion rises to probable cause, then they can detain you for longer and try and figure things out. Meaning do they think your documents are forged? But let's say what typically happens, a guy comes in, they say, what are you doing? They say, oh, I've come here, you know, I don't have any paperwork or whatever. Okay, expedited removal. That means we can get you out of here asap. You don't go before a judge. That's, that's most of the cases. That's what Obama was doing to the tunes of millions. Suspending habeas corpus means that the people who live here who are considered Ms. 13 or trend Aragua that have been adjudicated as such will not get a hearing. They will be deported right away. So the Supreme Court basically said everybody's got to get a habeas hearing. That's where when they arrest somebody, they can go before a judge and determine whether or not it was lawful detainment or rest. Do we have the right to hold you? But in the instance of like Kilmar Grego Garcia, two courts had already adjudicated him as a member of Ms. 13. The only due process issue that's, that's being questioned is he was supposed to get an interview with the USCIS agent to determine whether or not the circumstances in El Salvador had changed. They have changed. So he is safe. So it's only a technicality that he didn't get his review after the fact. Trump administration could probably do that review and it would be over and they could even do it from here, from the office without interviewing the guy because he should be like, we review the circumstances of El Salvador. He's fine, he's safe in prison. Have fun.
Myron Gaines
So this. Oh, sorry, no, that's it. That's it. So this is kind of a sticky situation because I see the arguments that like Phil's making where it's like, hey, look, the Democrats created a big problem for us. We have all these people that are here illegally that quite frankly, we don't have infrastructure to properly get them in front of immigration judges to, to get, you know, some type of proper, you know, adjudication. But at the same time, I also see the problem where you can have people where they'll won't be able to see a judge in their case. Right? Like we can look at some of the people that are being, you know, arrested by ICE for, you know, their comments with against Israel, right? The anti Semitism laws that they push, like the girl that wrote the op ed or Mahmoud Cleo, whatever, where they're not going to get due process. So I see both ends because there's people that need to be removed that are here illegally that, you know, you might need the suspension of habeas corpus to kind of get things through because we don't have the immigration infrastructure to deal with it. But at the same time, you do have a good amount of people or you do have people that do have valid cases where they need to go see an immigration judge. So it's a very difficult situation where you're kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't. And it's tough. It really is tough in this situation because there's people that quite Literally need to be removed. And honestly, they don't even get a right to a judge because they've been order removed by an immigration judge. And then you got other people that got to kind of have to go through the process and see an immigration judge.
Ian Crossland
There's no answer. There's no, there's no.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, there's no clear cut answer here because every case is different.
Ian Crossland
Well, what I mean is you've got TDA, you've got MS.13, and you have 20 million illegal immigrants that flooded the country.
Myron Gaines
Yep.
Ian Crossland
They are doing everything in their power to unconstitutionally block Trump. The problem is Trump can do nothing and then be unconstitutionally blocked. Or he can declare, as Abraham Lincoln did, we're going to suspend habeas corpus for these people under the Alien Enemies act and deport them to El Salvador. Why is he doing that? Because Venezuela will not take back their TDA members. The people from Venezuela who were released from the prisons and kicked out of the country. Many of trende Aragua, Venezuela basically said, screw you, we won't accept your flights. So where do we deport them to? Trump cut a deal with El Salvador saying, hey, we've got criminal gang members from Venezuela. Venezuela won't take them back. El Salvador said, we'll take them, but their criminal gang members are going to jail. And Trump said, okay, Supreme Court said they're going to have a habeas thing. Before you do that, if he suspends this, he can deport them under the Alien Enemies Act. Just. There you go.
Tim Pool
It's a lot of freaking power for one man.
Ian Crossland
It is. But here's the problem. I do not, I do not want Trump to suspend habeas corpus. Obviously, he's not doing for all Americans. He's doing it for illegal immigrants, meaning only after you. Okay, so these are people who are found to have already been TDA or Ms. 13. They are picking them up, sending them back, sending them to El Salvador or to jail. There's no hearing for this. They're not American citizens. So it is a difficult position. I do not want Trump to do that. However, the, the, the, the position we are in right now is Trump does nothing. And then we have Ms. 13 gang members, 20 million illegal immigrants. And I'm talking like at large. I mean, some argue it's it's 10, some argue it's 40. If Trump does nothing, it gets worse. And then we have to deal with the ramifications of that, like their kids.
Myron Gaines
And not only that, the immigration system is extremely cumbersome. Slow, like we're talking about people might not be able to see a judge for years. And this is why we have a lot of the problems that we have is because these immigration judges, a lot of the times this will happen with Biden, basically these illegal aliens would come in, they would get a notice to appear. Instead of an expedite removal, they get the NTA and then they kind of just go out into the wind. They don't see a judge for years. And this has been a problem in the immigration system for a while. Even when I was on a job, I knew that if I gave someone nta, they want to see a judge for a very long time. That's why I rarely ever gave out NTAs except unless they were informants. So we have a big problem in immigration world where we also need to reform the immigration court system as well.
Phil Labonte
I hear your, your concern about people that, you know, being are targeted for, you know, for violating, for what, what basically freedom of speech. Right.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
And I understand your, your point. When it comes to, you know, there should be no laws against anti, you know, being, you know, criticizing Israel.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
There shouldn't be laws against anti anti Semitic speech either. I'm, I'm fully on the same page. I will say that the people that are targeted by ICE and stuff like that, when it comes to those type of activities, they're also almost to a man, anti American and anti Western, anti very frequently anti capitalist. They're anti American and they want to see the destruction of the United States, destruction of the Western way of life. So whereas I do understand your point and if it was just about Israel, I'd be on the same page with you. But I don't, because of the, the other activities that they're involved in almost all the time, I don't have a problem with getting them.
Tim Pool
What's the anti Semitism? What happened? Like, some people want to, like two.
Myron Gaines
Big people were like, there was a bunch of students that have been basically arrested and deported by ICE because of their speech that's, you know, critical of Israel. Like one girl up in Boston, you know, she wrote an op ed and they went and grabbed her. And here's my thing when it comes to anti Semitism thing. Like, I used to work for ice, so I understand how their resources are kind of spread then when it comes to going and deporting people, I think going after college students that are legally here on F1 visas that are going to class and doing what they're supposed to do and their criticisms of Israel targeting them is a gross Misuse and waste of resources that they could be using on going on illegal aliens. Because, number one, we don't have the immigration infrastructure from the court system. And we also don't even have the resources when it comes to agents going after these guys. To waste it on people that are talking about Israel is kind of ridiculous, especially when they're legally here versus all the people that are illegally here that really needs to be deported.
Phil Labonte
I'm on the same page with you. I completely agree that, like, that is fair, but the, There is a. The Venn diagram of people that are anti Israel, that are also anti America and anti west is almost a circle. You can't, like, if you listen to people, like. And not saying that, you know, just for an example of the attitude.
Tim Pool
Right.
Phil Labonte
Hasan Piker. Very, very, very anti Israel. Very critical of Israel. Right. Also hates America, hates capitalism.
Ian Crossland
Pro Ms. 13.
Phil Labonte
Pro Ms. 13.
Tim Pool
Very successful capitalist, by the way.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, just every, every bad thing that you don't want in your country, that's Hasan. Now, I'm not saying Hasan should be sent out of the country. He's an American citizen, even if he's an anchor baby. But I use him as an example of the attitude and the opinions that tend to be of the people that are.
Myron Gaines
Let me respond to that. I think. I think that's what sets us apart and makes us the best country in the world, is because we allow people that don't like our government, that don't like our country to be able to exist and say it. And that's quite literally what separates us from these other countries. That's what makes us so great. Again, though, I disagree. Though I disagree with their worldview, and I think that they're wrong. I think us allowing them to say what they want to say for their political views separates us from everyone else, makes us great.
Phil Labonte
I'm with you. Except for people that are not American citizens. Hasan, as an American citizen, fine. He can say that stuff. He's an American. He was born here.
Ian Crossland
Cool.
Phil Labonte
American citizens can be critical of the United States government can be critical of our way of life. That's fine. But if you're going to come to the United States and you're going to go to school and you're going to be here as a guest, and then you're saying things like, America must be destroyed, beat it.
Myron Gaines
Well, here's the thing.
Ian Crossland
Beat it.
Myron Gaines
Though I see your perspective, and I actually do see where you're coming from with there. The. The reality is this. They can burn an American flag and be Fine. It's when they talk about Israel that they're getting deported. That's the problem. That's my issue. We will enforce immigration law on people that are critical of Israel instead of people that are insulting the United States.
Phil Labonte
I don't have a problem.
Myron Gaines
If they just said death to America and didn't say anything about Israel, they could stay. But if they say I don't like Israel or write an op ed about it where they're not even talking about anything else besides the country of Israel, not Hamas, by the way, they're getting deported, that's my problem.
Phil Labonte
And again, that when it comes to the, the whether they're critical of Israel, I'm on the same page with you. Like, there should be no laws against anti Semitism. There should be no laws against people that are being critical of Israel. I'm 100 on board with that.
Myron Gaines
I hate these anti America, just like you used to put them in jail. But my thing is that have done so great. I know that's what makes our country so great, is that we allow them to say that they hate America.
Ian Crossland
I'm like, better idea, moratorium on immigration.
Phil Labonte
I mean, I agree.
Myron Gaines
One to five years, bare minimum.
Ian Crossland
Five years.
Myron Gaines
One to five. I mean, five years, bare minimum. I've said this for a minute. No more people in for one to five years.
Ian Crossland
That's not a long time. That's reasonable.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
And largely because.
Myron Gaines
Because we need to reform everything. Tim and I can go through all the weak points that we have, like the visa system broken, people coming in here on J1F1s, destroying our countries, overstaying their visas. We got the border, which Trump shut down for a good amount, but it's still susceptible to people coming in illegally. The marriage fraud scheme that we have where people are literally abusing our document. It's a benefit fraud situation. We're getting beat on so many different angles when it comes to immigration.
Ian Crossland
Let me jump to the story from Fox News Blue State judge attempts to stop Border Patrol from arresting suspected illegal immigrants without warrant. Border Patrol argues it's changed its procedures, making ruling irrelevant. This is a weird story.
Phil Labonte
Deport her to the Crystals.
Ian Crossland
A California judge, I believe it's a guy, isn't it? Oh, a California judge. But it's funny. Actually, it is a woman. A California judge on Tuesday demanded Border Patrol agents allow people they think are living in the US Illegally to stay in the country unless authorities have a warrant or reason to believe the person may flee before they can get one. U.S. district Judge Jennifer L. Thurson ruled on Tuesday that CBP agents in the Eastern district of California cannot stop illegal immigrants without reasonable suspicion or deport them via voluntary departure unless that person is explained their rights and agrees to leave. According to a report from the ap. That's right. In California, they said that if CBP finds an illegal immigrant, they have to ask them politely to leave. And if the illegal immigrant says no, they can't do anything.
Tim Pool
But if they're an illegal immigrant, is that not reasonable suspicion?
Ian Crossland
Yes.
Tim Pool
Okay, then how is she saying that?
Myron Gaines
I could talk about this in detail. Number one, she doesn't have the authority to say that because she's a district judge. So district judges and immigration judges are two different things. The district judge is overseeing a lot of times criminal cases that have nothing to do with immigration. So when it comes to immigration as an immigration enforcement officer, and there's only a couple agencies that have Title 8 authority. It's Homeland Security Investigations, HSI, ICE enforcement, removal operations, which are both under the umbrella of ice, you got Border patrol, and then you got Customs and Border Protection, CPP OFO Blue uniform, and then border patrol is green uniform, Both under Border patrol, both under Customs and Border protection. A little confusing. And then FBI has limited Title 8, and so does CBP, Office of Air and Marine AMO. Now, the reality is you can conduct something called an immigration inspection. Right. Where you're determining someone alienage. So if you live on a southwest border, if you're like, you know, the border patrol checkpoints all over the place, and you go through, they say, of what country are you a citizen of? And you have to respond whether u. S. Citizen or whatever, that's considered an immigration inspection and them determining your alienage. So an immigration officer can absolutely ask you, hey, what is your status? United States? And if you don't want to tell them, they can actually fingerprint you and figure it out under the Department of homeland security act. So this is another example of an overzealous district judge thinking they know what they talk they're talking about. But when it comes to Title 8 authority, we can absolutely ask and determine alienage, and the judge can't say shit about that.
Ian Crossland
The issue that we've got right now is that no matter what Trump does, they're claiming it's unconstitutional despite the fact that universal injunctions and things like this are unconstitutional.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
So the. What do you do? Okay, I didn't. I was on Piers Morgan earlier, and, you know, Jake Uygur was on. And Sri Tanadar. They're all saying everything. He's doing is unconstitutional. He's doing all these unconstitutional things. And I'm like, so are Democrats. What does this mean? What does it matter? I got, I got to be honest, I'm sitting here as a guy who reads the news all day, every day, watching Democrats scream that Trump is doing things that are unconstitutional while they do the exact same things. And I'm just like, for what purpose are we even debating at this point?
Myron Gaines
Yeah, and even this immigration thing, like, you know, the heaviest corpus is a whole other conversation. But when it comes to, like, determining alienage or, you know, hooking somebody up for being an illegal alien, that's 100% under the INA and Immigration Authority. A district judge has no say in that, like, unless it's criminal. But the thing is with immigration is a lot of these cases end up becoming administrative, which have nothing to do with.

Myron Gaines
So you know her saying this. You know, you can go ahead and yap all you want, but at the end of the day, determining alienage is 100% within their right to do so. If they're a Title 8 enforcement officer.
Ian Crossland
We'Re looking at this potentiality of, you know, Trump maybe suspending habeas corpus, which again, it appears under Article 1 to the argument is that it's a congressional power. I'm sorry, a legislative power, not an executive.
Myron Gaines
Here's the other thing, too. I'll tell you, this is how they stop terrorists. A lot of times they're a little secret that nobody knows about in these joint terrorism task forces, right? Jttfs that the FBI Runs HSI is one of their most important partners because a lot of the times the FBI can't gather enough evidence for actual material support of terrorism. So what they have to do a lot of the times is go the immigration route. And there's many different ways that you could go after someone, whether it's denaturalizing them if they're a US Citizen, getting their green card revoked for, you know, certain violations, or just getting them deported outright. That is how a lot of times these terrorist plots are thwarted is through immigration enforcement. Why? Because immigration enforcement gives you way more latitude to, to get things done versus through the criminal court.
Ian Crossland
We were reading an article from Matt Taibbi the other day about whether or not we're in a soft civil war. And he was talking about how 200 security officials and diplomats had written this letter saying it's time to mobilize to defend our way of life. And I see that. And I've been thinking about the population collapse quite a bit because I've been talking about it non stop. Everybody listens, knows. And I'm looking at the immigration thing and I just, I see it all together and it's probably still surface level because I don't know everything that's going on. But it really does feel like there are two universes, two realities that are fighting. Both are completely aware of what the other represents. The Democrat side is the law is what we deem it. So these are the textualists of the Constitution. It's just whatever is written there, as we interpret, as opposed to what did the founders mean? And their worldview is there's not enough people. That's a good thing because climate change is a bad thing and you shouldn't have kids, you should get abortions. But also we're going to open up the border and flood the country with millions upon millions of illegal immigrants, which will fundamentally alter the moral tradition and foundation of the United States. Then there's Trump. America is great. We have these structures in place. Here's what they mean, here's what they meant. And we will use what powers we have to defend this country. The problem is both sides represent there's an end to the United States. And it's not that Trump is doing something or. Well, I'll put it this way, what Trump is doing is desperately trying to pull the plane out of a tailspin and stop us from crashing. What the Democrats are doing is saying, you're already cooked. We're going to flood this country with people. Otherwise the system crumbles anyway and we're going to transform it into something else. It's going to be a global country for all people, multicultural, with open borders. And Donald Trump is saying, keep America, America, but there's not enough people. So I bring this up because thinking about what this judge is doing, okay, it's psychotic. Like, as you're mentioning, you get, judge can't do that.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. It doesn't even have the. Yeah.
Ian Crossland
This is not the first time we've seen a judge basically say, I can say and do whatever I want. I believe it was Judge Boasberg who said that he had equal powers to the president.
Phil Labonte
Insane.
Ian Crossland
Absolutely does not. It's absolutely untrue. But they don't care. And so the issue is, whatever's going to happen, you've got two distinct worldviews that want control of this country and they are headed for a collision course, whatever that means.
Myron Gaines
And the other thing too, right, Is like, so, and we were talking about this earlier, like the problem with a lot of these liberals and these Democrats is like they're trying to paint Trump as like some crazy fascist or whatever. Because xyz, like the perfect example of what went down in Minnesota or Milwaukee, wherever it was with this judge that tried to block these agents from arresting this guy that was illegally here. Right. I saw every big left wing political commentator. So this is fascism. Look at this. Trump is arresting judges, blah, blah. But the reality is that judge broke the law. I mean, if we're going to go through it, that illegal alien that was there, and I'll go through this nice and factual, so everyone understands. And I literally can debate any liberal on this because they don't know immigration law and they're stupid. It's very simple. Yeah, let's go through this. Because every single one of them gave this same exact target. He's arresting judges. Now. This is fascism. Okay, here are the facts. This guy was arrested back in 2013, I think Flores, Ruiz, his last name. He was arrested back in 2013. He was arrested in Nogales, Arizona. Right. Right on the border. He was brought in, he got caught. Border patrol gave him what's called an expedited removal. Er. That is good because they get deported within two weeks. They don't really see an immigration judge because they got caught in a load. They're not supposed to be here. Inadmissible. Boom. So that means he can't come to the United States. He comes back in again, he gets caught, he gets arrested for domestic violence and he goes to see the judge. Immigration obviously is aware of this. Maybe There was a detainer put, whatever, but they know that he's here illegally and he's there. He's at the court thing. Yeah.
Ian Crossland
It was the victim a man or a woman?
Myron Gaines
I think it was his girlfriend or wife.
Ian Crossland
Okay.
Myron Gaines
Domestic violence.
Ian Crossland
Basically on Fox, they said he beat a man.
Myron Gaines
Okay.
Ian Crossland
But then a separate time, they said that there were two female witnesses there seeking justice.
Myron Gaines
So, okay, I know it was a misdemeanor crime of dv. Either or. So people are getting mad, right? Saying, oh, well, because then what happens is this is very important. So the agents go to the courthouse and they are talking with the bailers. Hey, look, we're here to effectuate an arrest. This guy's coming here. Etc. The guys say, okay, cool, whatever. Now they're. They're giving a courtesy by even saying why they're there. They don't need to tell them why they're there, but they go ahead and they stay there. Then they wait outside the courtroom. The defense attorney comes out and I read this on a criminal complaint. The friend's already comes out, sees them. Obviously cops look like cops. Hey, these guys are probably feds. They're here to pick this guy up. So she goes and tells the judge. Judge comes out angry, tells him, hey, what are you guys here for? The deportation officer is an idiot. He goes, oh, yeah, I'm here to pick up this guy. Do you have a judicial warrant? That's irrelevant. This guy's illegally here. He's ordered deported by a judge. He's not supposed to be here. He was expedited, removed, whatever. So she takes him to another judge's chambers, the chief judge, while she has her hearing. Luckily, the DEA agent that was there, that was a part of this arrest task force is sitting on the bench. They didn't identify him, so he has eyes on the guy. When the guy finishes his court appearance, Flores, Ruiz, the judge takes him through her chambers, which is something that you never do, right? No one goes to the judge's chambers except for agents. A lot of times, her and her staff, she takes them through her chambers and then goes outside the side. Now, the D agent sees this and he tells other guys, hey, just so you guys know why you guys are wasting your time in this other judge's chambers. Because he's trying to call his boss and stuff. Why? He's there explaining himself for no reason. She. He's. The guy gets an elevator with his defense attorney. They're talking to each other in Spanish. The agent is there listening. They don't know he's an agent. They get outside, he's telling the guys, hey, come outside. He's out, he's out. So they go out and they identify themselves. Foot chase ensues. They go and grab them. Now here's the problem. The reason why they go to the courthouse to do this stuff is because they know it's sanitary. They know he doesn't have a gun, he doesn't have a weapon. It's a safe place to effectuate the rest. We do it all the time. I used to do it all the time. Right. So when, so when this judge purposely took him around the side, didn't let them, you know, be there and make their lawful arrest that they were supposed to make, she obviously obstructed them. And I would say, I would argue 8 USC3024, anyone could look this up. There's a substitute in there which, you know, entices or enables aliens to stay in the country illegally. Now here's the other thing for people say due process. Due process. He shouldn't even have been here in the fucking first place to be able to commit that domestic violence. So his. There is no due process for him because he was order removed.
Ian Crossland
There's another question for a federal outside of immigration in that this is a man facing criminal charges.
Myron Gaines
Yep.
Ian Crossland
Ignore immigration. Let's say a guy, an American born guy, his name's Cletus, and he mercilessly beat his wife. And he comes into court and his wife is there with her, you know, mom, and they're crying and they're like, look what he did to her. And the judge goes, I'm going to sneak you out of here. And then takes this guy accused of mercilessly being his wife, shuffles him out the back door and says, run for it. Yeah, that's a crime too.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, it is.
Ian Crossland
So outside of immigration, there should be other federal charges on this.
Myron Gaines
And the thing is, like, with these guys, they're being really nice, very polite, because I get it, you're there in a state court, you're there to conduct an arrest. You don't want to create problems. You kind of want to be able to do this later, later on in the future. But the judge got in the way and obviously obstructed. So 100. She's in the wrong. She deserves to go to jail for that. And all these, you know, Democrats are going wild because literally, dude, it's like they all gave the same talking point. Trump is a fascist. He's arresting judges now for doing their jobs. They're standing up for Due process, blah, blah. But what they don't understand is that guy didn't deserve due process because he shouldn't have been here in the first place.
Ian Crossland
No, no, no.
Myron Gaines
The Democrats don't get this.
Ian Crossland
Hold on, hold on. This is a gaslighting. Okay? I was so pissed. I was like, everybody gets their due process.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Due process does not mean criminal trial. Due process, legally defined, is the fair treatment under the law. Illegal immigrants get fair treatment under the law. An ICE agent will stop them and say, I have reason to believe you're not a citizen. Can you show me some id? If they can't, they say, okay, come with me. We're going to come and check out who you are. Turns out he's not a citizen. Expedited removal. You don't even go to a judge.
Myron Gaines
Well, here's the thing. If you got ordered expedited removal, I don't even got to do all that. I just take them. That's what I'm trying to say.
Ian Crossland
Like, put them on a plane.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, yeah. But the ICRO guys that were there, like, I get it, they were trying to be polite and professional, but honestly, they didn't even have to let him go to court. If it was me, if I was there and I was leading that team, I would be like, I'm just taking him. Like, this judge is being a pain. She's trying to distract us. I'm just taking him. I don't. You guys can't do anything about it.
Ian Crossland
This is the important thing here. The media, I believe, has successfully gaslit the Trump supporter base and conservatives into believing that due process means jury trial.
Tim Pool
Oh, yeah. Due process might. Whatever. Whatever the righteous legal path forward is, is the due process.
Ian Crossland
Exactly.
Tim Pool
Trial or no trial.
Ian Crossland
So now I'm hearing from all these conservatives saying he shouldn't get due process. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They should all get due process. What is fair to someone who illegally entered the country for us to quickly send them back?
Myron Gaines
Honestly, his due process is, you're under arrest for being here illegally. That's his due process. Because he's already been removed. And, like, again, this is why. And I don't blame people for not understanding this stuff, because immigration law is very nuanced and complicated. So unless you worked in it, you're not going to know this stuff. But the reality is, like, for all these liberal talking heads, like, they don't know what they're talking about. I could debate any of them on this. Like, the guy shouldn't even have been in the courtroom in the first place and gotten this due process that they're crying about. Shouldn't have been here, Was order removed, got an expedited removal cook.
Tim Pool
I'd argue if a dude attacked a police officer and with a gun and was threatening and going to shoot and kill the police officer, and the police officer shoots and kills the guy, the guy got his due process. That's exactly what was supposed to happen illegally to the guy if he was threatening the life of a police officer.
Phil Labonte
Not quite.
Tim Pool
That's a form of due process.
Ian Crossland
Well, well, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to half agree with Ian. I understand the point he's trying to make.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
That are you treated fairly under the law? And if you're a dude who's threatening to murder a cop and the cop seeing a threat to his life defends himself, you were treated fairly under the law. It's a tragedy. But you, you created that circumstance.
Myron Gaines
And I also want to say here too, it's very important when. And again, I'm speaking about this in immigration. This is why, like when it comes to like the anti Semitism stuff, that's a bit different because these people were legally here and they're kind of using some nuanced laws to try to justify removing them. But with these other individuals, like this guy Ruiz or whatever, like he was literally removed and an immigration judge already deemed them as like, you know, you have a final, what's called it, a final order of deportation, which means you don't even get to get a. Like you're cooked, like you get deported anytime an immigration enforce officer encounters you. So that's kind of what it comes down to. But the problem is that since so few law enforcement actually have Title 8 authority or even understand it, they can't enforce it properly or they try to stay away from it, which is why so many people go to places like Denver or these blue states, because they wouldn't even bother asking. And even if they know that they're illegal, they won't even try to call ICE or they won't hold detainers or any of this stuff, which is a big reason why we're in this problem in the first place, where these law enforcement agencies are scared to even touch Title eight.
Tim Pool
We're coming up on the age of people thinking that it's okay because I think law doesn't mean good. You might have evil laws. The people that hid the Jews from the Nazis, for instance, might have been doing a righteous move even though it was illegal. So you're going to see this conversation about is it righteous to break these laws to harbor illegal aliens. That's going to be the big conversation in the next four years.
Phil Labonte
It's already the conversation that's being had. There are people that are. There was, I don't know if it was a senator or a congressman that was saying that it's the moral thing to do. The judge that that was hiding the illegal immigrant, that he was doing something illegal, but it was the moral thing to do. They're already making those.
Tim Pool
Well, I, that I'm. That is deeply runs through me as well because I don't always adhere to the law. If it's an evil law, you have a moral righteous duty to defy the law.
Phil Labonte
No, it's not a moral thing to hide someone that has come here illegally. That's immoral. Because.
Ian Crossland
Well, because about this.
Tim Pool
What if the laws get changed and now it's illegal for some other thing that's like, that really should be illegal?
Phil Labonte
You could hype, you could come up with all kinds of hypotheticals. But the fact of the matter is the people that have come here illegally, the intent is to dilute the voting power of the existing American citizens. It is not moral to allow them to stay and harm the American people by making their votes, making their vote have less power.
Myron Gaines
And there's also a very illicit industry that literally runs off of this. It's called, it's at USC 30 24. It covers human smuggling and also harboring like their stash house operators all over the country that literally hold groups of illegal aliens there and get paid a lot of money to hold them there. Almost like drug. It's actually more lucrative than drugs in a lot of ways.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, because you can, like if when it comes to a child that's being sex trafficked, that child can be raped 10 times a day as opposed to, you know, want you sell, you know, sell whatever, you know, some coke and they'll take.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, human smuggling is a very lucrative business. And the thing also that I need people to understand when it comes to like illegal aliens, a lot of people say, well, they're just trying to come here and find a better life. What people don't understand is, okay, let's assume they're coming in here and they're trying to live a better life. They're still funding and helping operate an illicit multi billion dollar business that facilitates the illegal movement of people into the United States. That also goes into other crimes as well.
Phil Labonte
People need people that people can't come.
Myron Gaines
To the United States without funding A human smuggling organization.
Phil Labonte
People need to watch the Sound of Freedom again. Like, rewatch that.
Ian Crossland
Oh, that intro.
Phil Labonte
I watched it a couple of weeks ago and it is horrible. And there is. There is far too much bad that comes with illegal immigration than to ever think that allowing them to stay is moral. Because about this girl send them out.
Ian Crossland
Got deported scene where these also has the. The. The. He quotes the Bible as he's Catching the Predator.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, that movie was.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. The guy that Tim Ballard used to be an HSI agent. Yeah. Of course he left a long time ago. It changed a lot since he's been on the job. But like. Yeah, he used to literally be, I think, out of the. Our Arizona office back in the day.
Tim Pool
So when I'm going hard on the legal stuff, I just.
Myron Gaines
Phoenix maybe. Okay, sorry, go ahead.
Tim Pool
He's great, by the way. We interviewed him on this.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Phenomenal human being. The. The girl that got deported for being anti Semitic. Now that is like. They just made that illegal one out of Somerville, right? They. I guess it's out of some real. Passed a law like a month ago or something.
Myron Gaines
That's crazy.
Ian Crossland
That's not what they use.
Tim Pool
What did they do?
Ian Crossland
They cited their authority under the INA to deport anyone they deemed a national security threat. That's it.
Myron Gaines
It's. It's. I think the statute that they're using, Marco Rubio is using one where any alien that allows them to. That makes foreign policy more difficult for them is. Is.
Ian Crossland
We went over this bill because what happened was I got it wrong. I thought it was. I can't remember the section numbers 273 or something that states that they can at any point, anytime revoke a visa. And then we actually fact checked it and it was. It was like 3. Something of the INA that states, I.
Myron Gaines
Think is a foreign policy one. It was under 237A of INA.
Ian Crossland
It's something like that. Yeah. The specific provision is if they pose a threat to US national security.
Tim Pool
And that's like. If someone's like, I don't like the way Saudi Arabia is cutting people's hands off. They're like, well, we need Saudi Arabia to defend the Red Sea in the Gulf of Aden. So you're a national security threat by saying that out loud.
Myron Gaines
Now that example. Right. I would agree with. Because they're going, that's not a good.
Tim Pool
Thing for American free speech because you have the right to criticize Israel and Saudi Arabia and any of these foreigners do. I mean, technically, you're supposed to still be allowed to at War.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. There is case law that protects foreigners.
Ian Crossland
I am not ever going to be okay with allowing foreign people to come to our country to dictate by protest what we do.
Phil Labonte
Listen, just think about.
Myron Gaines
Is legal.
Phil Labonte
Think about.
Myron Gaines
There's, There's. Sorry, I'll let you finish.
Phil Labonte
Just think about how the free, how the freedom of speech is actually protected in the Constitution. It's, it says congress shall make.

The freedom of speech. Congress isn't making a law. They're saying we're revoking your visa because.
Tim Pool
Of a law that's already on the books.
Phil Labonte
No, not.
Ian Crossland
Hold on, hold on. We got to clarify that because the interpretation of the First Amendment extends well beyond making a law.
Phil Labonte
But that's, that's fair enough. But what, what's being done is revocation of visa. And the Secretary of State can revoke for any nut for a bunch of different reasons.
Ian Crossland
But I just, I want to say, like, I hear what you're saying. I don't care. The idea that we'd be like, by all means, come to the United States. It's a privilege to be here, not a right. Enjoy our luxurious economy and our. And all these wonderful things. And then you go, I am now going to protest against you. I'd say, get in my house.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, well, here's the thing. It's not that they're protesting. It's because they're protesting against Israel. Like this girl, for example, that we're referring to, she got arrested for, by like seven ICE agents, by the way, up in Somerville, Massachusetts. I think she goes To Tufts. She got arrested for writing an op ed that was critical of Israel. She didn't mention anything about Hamas. She literally just talked about boycotts and how she doesn't like Israel and how they're killing people. And she got arrested for that. I think that is a problem. And the U.S. even though she's not a U.S. citizen.
Ian Crossland
So we had this guy, Pisco Liddy, we were debating this, and I asked him, is US Foreign policy aligned with Israel?
Myron Gaines
A lot of the times it is, or we try to force it to be. It is for their benefit.
Ian Crossland
I mean, surface level, it is. Yeah. Is it a threat to our foreign policy to allow college students to come in and start proselytizing, advocating, or protesting against one of our. One of our allies in the Middle East?
Myron Gaines
It's a threat to Israel, not to us.
Ian Crossland
It's a threat to our foreign policy.
Myron Gaines
Which is dictated by Israel, which, I mean, if you want to make. Make that the point.
Ian Crossland
The point is simply this. We can get into the deep nuances, but that's not what matters. What matters is it's legal under the law. I understand what you're saying. It's selective enforcement, and I'm not a fan of that. Like, just because some chick wrote an article, they're saying, get out. Oh, come on. There's a lot of articles written by a lot of people who are against our. Like, how many people have been deported because they're critical of the war in Ukraine? They came over here on a visa and then said, we, you know, we shouldn't be funding or being involved. They're not getting deported.
Tim Pool
So, yeah, in Ukraine. Criticizing the Ukrainian government.
Ian Crossland
He got killed. The point I'm making is if somebody came into my house.
Myron Gaines
Sure.
Ian Crossland
And they knocked on my door and said, hey, I see that you guys are having a pizza party. Can I come in? I'd say, you know what? You pitch in for the pizza. You can have some pizza and hang out with us, but you're not one of our roommates. So just be nice. They walk in, kick their shoes off, sit down, and then look at one of my roommates in the face and say, that guy is a disgusting piece. I'd like to get out of my house. You're a guest here. You have no right to come in here and say these things.
Myron Gaines
No, I see. But here's the thing they kind of do, though, right? And there's. There's case law out there that allows people that are foreign nationals to have, you know, politically protected speech. And again, she was here legally. She came here, she's student visa. Again, I don't agree with a lot of these liberals.
Ian Crossland
We can revoke their visa for whatever reason. The ina, literally, though. Yeah, but the US Secretary of State has unilateral authority under the INA to revoke any visa at any time at their own decision.
Tim Pool
How long has that been going on?
Ian Crossland
17 something.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, he's. He's using a. We've never. Basically, he's using the statute under 237 to deport them because it makes it harder for him to, as Secretary of State, to run foreign policy. That's like the statute they're using. And look, if that's what he wants to try to use, you know, you can make the argument that that is completely antithetical to the First Amendment because there is case law out there that shows that, you know, foreign nationals. Bridges versus Wixon, if I'm not mistaken, people could look that up. Very similar case where someone who was a communist or alleged to be a communist was protected. They were green card holder. They're protected from being deported because their political speech. And I would argue, like, you know, you can make the. That similarity because communism back then was what terrorism is today, which is what they're trying to use, that she was a Hamas supporter, even though she didn't mention Hamas at all in her, in her op ed.
Ian Crossland
Right, right. They've been saying that these people are aligned with Hamas. I think that's ridiculous.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, that's. They're just jumping to any conclusion.
Ian Crossland
You're critical of Israel. Say they're critical of Israel. They keep saying anti Semitism. No, you're critical of Israel. Yeah, but, you know, so I understand what you're saying about selective enforcement. I still just, I'm, I'm, I'm just.
Myron Gaines
Having issue overall with people whether it's anti Semitism, whatever. Your thing is, you just don't like them coming in and being able to say whatever they want to say as guests.
Tim Pool
Well, it makes cancer perspective.
Ian Crossland
Hold on, hold on. Let's clarify this.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, sure.
Ian Crossland
There are certain things you don't do as a guest. Right. So if I lived in a house with a bunch of roommates and we were arguing over the dishes and who was supposed to be doing them? Well, we all live here. We all, we all pitch in. We're all paying rent. It's our problem to deal with. If some dude showed up and then every day he like, he's, he's now sleeping on the couch. Okay. I don't know. We let him crash here and now he's causing problems. He's basically yelling about what he who. He's getting involved in the debate and the argument. And I'm like, dude, leave. Like you're a guest in this place. We can deport whoever we want. I believe that we should be focused on American interests, not Ukraine's interests, not Afghanistan, not Israel, not Sudan, not Taiwan, not Pakistan or India, not Tibet, whatever. Okay? We should secure our borders. We have to deal with this population crisis that we got. That means we need Americans to start focusing on American tradition, rebuilding our culture. And so if people come here.
Myron Gaines
But what's more American than free speech? Tim, that's my. That's my only pushback to that where I see your perspective. But, like, what? The rule that our guest is violating is the rule that the house is built upon, which is freedom of speech. It was our First Amendment. So my thing is, though, I understand your perspective. I think her exercising their right, which is what we broadcast everyone, which makes us better than everybody else. I think that's pretty.
Ian Crossland
There are rules in this country for people who are here. We extend certain rights in certain circumstances. And there are different rules for people who are guests and on visas, such as. Due process for an American citizen involves a jury trial. Due process for a non citizen does not often involve a jury trial. We don't go. Hold on, hold on. The right to a speedy trial is in the Constitution. It is the bedrock of what it means to be American. Okay, then we're going to give every. Every illegal immigrant a jury job. No, we're not going to do that. If you are here to like. I'll just put it this way, okay? I don't want to be funding Israel. I don't want to be involved in that conflict. I don't want to be involved in Ukraine. My issue is someone showed up to my house and started yelling at me about what I should be doing. And I said, get up out of my house.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, I think. But here's the thing. They're not even complaining about your house. They're complaining about your neighbor who you're friends with. And that's my problem. Like, that's what Israel like to just.
Ian Crossland
Make it more analogous what we're doing with an ally, and it's not their business. And the problem is if we don't set a precedent on that, then any time we have an adversary, there are people in the United States who are Iranian.
Myron Gaines
But this is a slope that can lead us to problems in the future, though.
Ian Crossland
We let Iranians come into this country and imagine, you see what happens in Europe, okay? Remember when all the Turks started rising up throughout Europe with the Turkish flags? And Erdogan said, I'm going to unleash a flood on your countries unless you do what I want. This is the problem with allowing foreign ideologies to come in and get entrenched in your country. So we can all talk about the glories of the Constitution. And I'm gonna say great, so we can flush ourselves down the toilet as foreign adversaries and interests that are opposed to ours come in and start changing the shape of our country in ways we don't like. And now what do we have? With all due respect to Ro Khanna, I think he's a good dude. I think he's wrong. I believe that he's morally correct of his own worldview to fight for what he's fighting for as it pertains to immigration, why he is the children of immigrants. I believe he's an American citizen. I believe he was born here.
Myron Gaines
Well, I grew up trying immigration.
Ian Crossland
But let me tell you about Ro Khanna. Ro Khanna, I believe his parents were immigrants and he was born here. He's a very nice guy. He's reasonable, he tries to communicate, and I can respect that. But because of where he comes from, his moral worldview is antithetical to the American moral tradition. I'm not saying he's a bad person. I'm not saying that he's, you know, doing anything criminal. I'm saying his moral worldview is correct based upon where he comes from. He says, my parents were immigrants. My parents fought hard to come to this country. I understand what they want and why they want it. I'm going to fight for those values. Well, I was born in America with multiple generations going back hundreds of years, save my grandmother who came from Korea. I have all of these family members coming hundreds of years who fought in a revolutionary war, who fought in a civil war, and whose moral traditions have landed with me. And so what I say is, I understand, Roe, why you want to fight for illegal immigrants. But you came to this country, your parents came here, and you are now a citizen. You are, you have access to everything we offer you because we are nice, we are good people. But when you start advocating for non citizens, people not from this country, this creates two worldviews that are at odds with each other. And there's no, there's, there's no off ramp people in this country who are saying, if you're not a citizen, so what, you can live here. And what ends up happening, you get whether it's what everyone wants to say about the Haitians. You get reports from the locals that they were eating cats. Is it wrong to eat cats? Well, people in America don't take kindly that. But in Haiti they do eat cat. You see, there's a cultural clash in Dearborn, Michigan. You get reports of female genital mutilation. Well, a lot of people don't take kindly to that. You get in the Somali community in Minnesota, similar stories. So the people who are born and bred and raised in America, who are sitting beneath trees, their ancestors planted. Our focus on what we are going to build for this country is rooted in a long standing American tradition. We all know the lesson of the Native Americans. The left can bring it up all they want. We get it. Colonization destroys civilizations and communities and all that stuff. We don't want that to happen to us. The simple version is this. If we prioritize the speech rights of non citizens and people who are guests in this country, if we prioritize the rights of illegal immigrants, this country will evaporate.
Tim Pool
I don't think you need to prioritize their rights. You just got to protect them.
Myron Gaines
No, I agree with you on that, Tim. But my thing is she's legally here. She's making speech, not even against America, rather Israel. And she's being deported for that.
Ian Crossland
Like I get it, but we're threatening.
Tim Pool
Our trade routes in the Middle east with.
Myron Gaines
Sorry, you're going to say some, but.
Phil Labonte
Look, we don't protect all rights for, for foreign people that are here. You can't buy a gun if you're, if you're not an American citizen. So the idea that we protect all rights and the Supreme Court is a green card holder. Supreme Court?
Myron Gaines
Yes, Supreme Court.
Phil Labonte
Supreme Court has said that the second amendment is not a second class.
Ian Crossland
I was going to say this. You know, I'm sorry to interrupt you but like the. It's a super chat from this dude, blackest panther saying. Why are you. Tim, you're logically inconsistent. Why are you more likely to be deported for burning an Israeli flag than an American flag? Yo, I don't care about your retarded obsession with Israel. Yeah, it's not that. Shut it's up. You are Israel obsessed moron.
Tim Pool
It's about the trade.
Ian Crossland
I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. Stop. I don't care if it's Ukraine, I don't care if it's Israel. I don't care if it's Afghanistan. I Don't care where you're from. I don't care if you're from Japan. If you're from Japan, you come to this country and they start protesting and declaring that Americans should change our behavior for you. Get out. And, and you know, I got to be honest, when I hear people defending non citizens coming in and trying to dictate American governmental policy, they have no right to do this. And then they say, well, it's because Israel. Okay, I get it. You're obsessed. Your brain is rotted from your skull because the only thing you think about is Israel. I care about all the countries that are trying to negatively impact the United States that have. We've got to deal with Venezuela sending people from their prisons. Now, I know it's, it's, it's, it's semantic. They're not literally taking people out of prisons, putting on bus and saying, go to America. They're releasing them and saying, get out of the country. Go there instead. We don't want you. And then when they come here, Donald Trump says, we want to send these Venezuelan gangs and prisoners, you know, former prisoners, cons and criminals, back to Venezuela. They say no. So what does he do? He cuts a deal with El Salvador. These are criminals from Venezuela. You take them, we don't want them. The Democrats then say, we're going to keep them here. And then you super chat. But to Israel. This is why our country is being screwed over and mercilessly beaten. And it's why we're facing these catastrophes that we're facing, okay? Because of the myopic view of so many people. I do these debates and conversations and they're focused on one super stupid. Let me put it this way. During Occupy Wall street, one of the most amazing moments was when some guy stood up during the General assembly and he screamed out, what is wrong with you people? The only thing we need to focus on is fracking. It is the center of all of our problems. And I thought, my God, there are people that live in bubbles. They only see one thing. That's the only thing they care about. Me. I got a bubble. I do. It's America. So if it's Venezuela, if it is Ukraine, if it is Russia, Iran, China, Israel or otherwise, and they're negatively impacting us, I'm going to say, stop. I don't want to be involved in this. People need to focus on what? On the issue. And that is we have a system of governance. We have a body politician. The American people for hundreds of years have built and they've Planted trees whose shade they know they will not sit beneath. Blood and treasure, sacrifice to make the greatest nation this world has ever seen. Over the past 30 years, our border has been porous, our manufacturing base eroded and stripped away. And now Donald Trump is doing what he thinks he can, and I say thinks, because we don't know how it's going to play out, whether it be tariffs, securing the border to try and bring back some semblance of a cohesive nation, I will just say it that way. I don't care if they're anti Israel, I don't care if they're anti eu, whatever it is, I don't care if they're pro gun or anti gun. People from foreign countries that come here as guests, that want to get up in our business and dictate what we should do, I think, and depending on the severity, for sure, get out. And I'm not going to cut a special pass for all the Canadians, each and every one of them who keep coming to the United States and then running political shows telling us what to do. With all due respect, I'll cut them some slack, okay? They're our neighbor to the north. They're directly on our border. And we have a shared cultural, a shared culture. I understand why they're fleeing Canada, but I will say this as much as many other people have said it. You've got British people like John Oliver, and you've got a lot of Canadians, even conservatives, coming from Canada, United States, and then telling us what to do with our government. And I think there's a problem with it. So if they decide we're going to kick you out, I'm going to be.
Myron Gaines
Like, yeah, well, again, just, I think it's very important because the only country that has this influence, and I know you say, hey, well, why Israel? Israel? The problem is that Israel has undue influence on our country. There's no other country where we are literally legislating criticism of them. Like to deport people for criticizing it. Like someone can burn an American flag on a couch campus and be totally fine, but if they burn an Israeli flag, anti Semitism, they get deported. So I think that's why people are singling out Israel, because we dictate a lot of our laws based on them. And that's the problem here.
Ian Crossland
Now, I agree. Said I, I agree still.
Myron Gaines
So they have, they have. Okay, fair. But they have undue influence in our political structure and to the point where they're legislating things to their benefit that we don't even get to enjoy as Americans, but we're doing for their behalf.
Ian Crossland
So I understand.
Myron Gaines
I understand legally here, she wrote an op ed against Israel, critical of Israel, and she's getting deported for that, versus she had wrote that op ed against the United States, she would still be here. And I think that's the problem that people have.
Ian Crossland
I completely agree it's a problem. I say criticize it fully, but that is no excuse for allowing someone to come to our country and try and dictate our foreign policy.
Tim Pool
So I'm talking about, okay, so we've got the Middle East, Israel's our eastern bulwark, our nuclear warhead to protect the Suez. We've got Egypt in the West. We got Saudi Arabia as puppet states. If people threaten that hegemony and we lose that canal, that's what they're fighting. That's what they're trying to stop. It's similar to why it brought up the Japanese internment camps during the war. When you're in wartime, which we have been in the Ukraine, you take people. They did. I don't know the extent of what they did.
Ian Crossland
Japanese puppet states. And since you are correct about the Suez and the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea and all of that stuff, and I don't care.
Tim Pool
No, I am explaining why it's happening.
Ian Crossland
No, no, no. I'm not saying I don't care what you're saying. I'm saying I don't care about the Suez. I'm saying you are correct. I wonder about US Interests in this region. Why we bombed the Houthis is because we are so concerned about global trade. And, and this is why we're. I mean, this is why we're allied with Egypt. We're dumping billions of dollars in Egypt.
Myron Gaines
Because we wanted to. To be. To basically pay them all this money to play. Yeah, we basically pay all these, you know, Arab countries, especially Jordan, Egypt, to play nice with Israel. And I do think it's important. A lot of people say, obsessed with Israel, obsessed with Israel. I think it's not necessarily obsessed with Israel. Rather, we have a foreign country that has an enormous amount of influence and power in our country where we give them certain. We roll out the red carpet for them in certain situations that we wouldn't even roll out for ourselves. And I think that's where people are having issues.
Ian Crossland
My point that I'm trying to bring up is.
Myron Gaines
And by the way, when it comes to immigration, I agree with you. I'm even further right on that. I think we need to have immigration moratorium. I think we need to Stop letting people in. I think we need to keep America a certain demographic majority. You know, I'm even further right when it comes to immigration. But my problem is that when people start to infringe on the First Amendment because of a foreign nation, that's my biggest gripe.
Ian Crossland
The liberal economic. Listen to what Donald Trump talks about. He talks about the Gilded Age. He talks about the end of the 1800s. The liberal economic order was created to police the world and they still want to and they're addicted to it. Even, even people in the Trump admin. With these strikes on the, on the Houthi rebels in Yemen. It's an addiction. It is a fear. If we do not intervene, global trade will be negatively impacted and the global economy can be harmed by Iran, who will gain more power. And the Houthi rebels, China will get involved. They're already trying to take the lithium deposits in Afghanistan. We can't allow them to do it. We have to be in control. Why? Why do we have to be in control now? I'm deeply concerned about unipolar Chinese Communist Party planet. I don't want that either. But the United States was prosperous and powerful before World War II. There's a reason why the US got involved in World War I and World War II. And you can argue they were bad reasons. The reason for World War I, I think, you know, Trump brought up like, why were we even involved? Because we have allies and we basically dragged into it to support them. World War II, relatively similar. But Pearl harbor, we get it, it. The US was very, very powerful before these wars, before the existence of the liberal economic order. I am confident that if we just backed off and said we don't care about your canal and your trade because US Trade doesn't go through that area. You deal with it. Somebody would.
Tim Pool
They got long range bombers now. So we can't like just huddle.
Ian Crossland
Who is they though?
Tim Pool
The Russians and the Chinese and the Indians and the Americans and the Israelis?
Ian Crossland
Yes.
Tim Pool
If you just huddle and play isolationist now, they can hit you from orbit.
Ian Crossland
No one is saying isolation. That's an excuse. What I'm saying is we don't need to be the world police.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, I agree. I think that's a big problem. That's, that's a big issue.
Phil Labonte
Is.
Myron Gaines
But see, here's the problem. Israel has forced us to almost be the world police because now we have to be involved in all these Middle Eastern affairs because of Israel to allow them to maintain Saudi Arabia.
Tim Pool
It's because of Egypt, because of the liberal economic order. Israel's part of it, but it's this order of nations. It's the British Empire. It's all these things that.

Tim Pool
You going to call it? The transition of the British Empire into this new organism. It's a technocratic, you know, militaristic hegemony. Basically.
Myron Gaines
We would not have been in all the foreign wars in the Middle east had it not been for Israel.
Ian Crossland
That's a gross over, over exaggeration.
Myron Gaines
You don't agree?
Ian Crossland
No, I think, I think you hyper focus on just Israel ignoring all the other factors. I think it's fair to say that Israel is a very strong factor in our involvement in the Middle East.
Myron Gaines
There's always going to be other factors, but they're by far the most prominent and the biggest reason why we've had Saudi Arabia. You think Saudi Arabia is.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, because of their control of the flow of oil. If Saudi Arabia dumps oil into the market, they destroy our economy. So the US basically goes there and sucks the feet of the Saudi princes saying please don't flood the market with oil. Israel doesn't do that. Israel begs us for money and then we give them to build weapons. Saudi Arabia and the OPEC nations could destroy the petrodollar overnight. And so Trump and all these presidents are constantly going there and saying please love of God, don't ruin our hegemony.
Myron Gaines
I think every war like the Iraq war was for Israel. US going into Afghanistan, the entire war on terror was basically waged and only Israel benefited from it. I don't think Saudi Arabia benefited as.
Ian Crossland
Nearly as the Iraq war.
Myron Gaines
From the Iraq war. Israel benefited from the Iraq war, the.
Ian Crossland
Iraq war and the Afghan war are for. There's obviously a bunch of reasons. Sure, the principal reason is we're surrounding Iran. But our involvement, our desire. I say our because, not mine. But the US's desire to go to war with Iran is not because of Israel 100%.
Myron Gaines
It's one of the main reasons Israel.
Ian Crossland
Wants us to go to war with Iran. For sure. Yeah, but U.S. interest in going to war with Iran coincides with that.
Myron Gaines
Look, what benefit do we get from going to war without the Suez?
Tim Pool
Well, it's not the total, total control of the trade route.
Phil Labonte
Iran, it's not the Suez.
Ian Crossland
Iran is a threat in the region and we want full control of oil in the region and we want to appease the Saudis who control large.
Phil Labonte
Saudi Arabia is a major reason why we do. Why we, why we have the posture towards Iran that we do.
Myron Gaines
No, it's mostly Israel, like Iran and Saudi Arabia. But yes, they've had problems, of course, but. Well, it's, I would say.
Phil Labonte
And the Sunni stuff, you know, like it's the Shia and the Sunni beat.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, but that, that's, that is, that is not as much of the reason as, as, I mean, Israel is by far the biggest enemy to Iran. It's because Iran's the only country.
Ian Crossland
Why? Why is the US engaged in hostility with Iran? Because of Israel. Israel.
Myron Gaines
Why? Because. Because Iran is the only country that challenges Israel's hegemony in the Middle east. Because they have the ability.
Ian Crossland
Okay, and I gotta pause because that's circular. What you're saying is Israel is the reason why we're involved with Iran because Iran is a threat to Israel. That doesn't explain why Israel is dictating us be involved with Iran. You're just saying that Israel is threatened by Iran. We get this.
Myron Gaines
Yes, yes.
Ian Crossland
And that now met with Trump and he said we want to, we want to do joint strikes. And Trump said no.
Myron Gaines
Yes, because he understands that going to war would not benefit us whatsoever.
Ian Crossland
However, Israel controls our interests and it's why.
Myron Gaines
They absolutely do. They absolutely do. But here's the thing, he's got to obviously weigh it out. Like, okay, they put me in, right? Because you know, Merrill, medicine, all the other, you know, Zionist backers, etc, they put me in like, I gotta appease them enough. I'm giving their 2,000pound bombs. I'm allowing them to continue to wage war in Gaza. I'm allowing them to kind of go wild all over the Middle east, etc. But going to war with Iran might not be a good idea because they can actually hurt us economically. Now, of course, we would win the war with Iran, but Iran has the of making life significantly harder. They could shut down the Strait of Hormuz. They can launch missiles into Saudi Arabia, into the uae, hurt our allies, destroy these oil, oil locations and these strategic standpoints.
Ian Crossland
They're arming the Houthis. They're arming.
Myron Gaines
Sure, sure.
Ian Crossland
The Iraqi insurgent groups. I forgot their name. And they're launching missiles at Americans. Sure. The Suez is probably one of the largest reasons appeasing the Saudis is a large reason. The Saudis want the Suez to flow properly because they have a lot of interest in that. Russia sends, sends their fuel through the Black Sea, through the Bosphorus, into the Mediterranean, through the Suez to make it down into the Arabian Sea and into the Indian Ocean. So this canal is a vital interest to all of the global powers, of course, region.
Myron Gaines
And this is why he's rethinking war.
Ian Crossland
It is not.
Myron Gaines
This is why he's rethinking it. Because Israel, no, Israel wants the war. And I'm saying a big reason why we have the issues that we have with Iran is because of Israel. That's what I'm saying. Saudi Arabia plays a part, but I would argue that Israel plays a more significant part because they've been trying to topple them and get rid of their nuclear program for decades. They've done false flags, they've done a bunch of stuff to try to get us into war. Luckily it hasn't worked. But Israel is one of the biggest reasons why we have the posture that we have with Iran.
Tim Pool
I think it's more of a. That's a modern.
Myron Gaines
And the reason why we're not getting it to war was what I explained before, where it would economically hurt us a lot.
Ian Crossland
I do want to, I do want to jump to the next story, but I just want to say I understand the point you're making.
Myron Gaines
Sure.
Ian Crossland
And I think we're, we're largely saying, like, which geopolitical factor is playing a more significant role.
Tim Pool
Sure. What time period do you start? Because the British.
Ian Crossland
Ian, I get it. We're moving on. Done. Okay. I'm trying to wrap up the segment because we're talking in circles about foreign war and policy. Okay. So I'm trying to respectfully say. I get what you're saying.
Myron Gaines
No, we can disagree. You don't have to agree to disagree. We can agree to disagree.
Ian Crossland
Let's just Jump to the. Totally cool.
Myron Gaines
I think the people enjoy the conversation. That's what matters.
Ian Crossland
Right, Right. I just.
Tim Pool
People.
Ian Crossland
I completely agree.
Myron Gaines
People love it. So. But.
Ian Crossland
But I just feel like we've been on for, like, 30 minutes.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, we can move on, brother.
Ian Crossland
So we'll jump onto this next one and we'll. We'll maybe talk a little bit. I don't want to keep.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. Because there's an uncensored part, too. Right. Calling part on this. Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Ian Crossland
Let's go to this story from the New York Times. Trump would not concede. Mississippi. Thirteen letters were digitally added. The White House declined to explain why Trump did not appear to realize the photograph he held up on social media had been altered. This is. Oh, they don't show the video. I'm really. I'm actually surprised by this. That's interesting.
Tim Pool
So New York Times, if you want it.
Ian Crossland
He's not showing the video where Trump is debating. I believe the guy's name was Terry Moran. And Trump appears to genuinely believe that the letters Ms. And the numbers 1 and 3 are tattooed on his hand. Terry Moran is arguing it's symbolic. Here's what the story is fascinating. And I'll pull it up in a second. I thought the New York Times would have had the video. I can't say. Can't say I'm surprised they're not showing it, because then you'd realize there's some nuance to this. Now that Trump appears to genuinely believe that photo he held up has. Ms. 13 was actually part of the tattoo. And maybe he didn't. I don't know. That's. That's. I think it. I think Trump thought that all of a sudden, the liberals who argued that Trump was showing an altered tattoo, they're now all of a sudden realizing, just as if they knew the whole time that it was actually just a key representing the symbols. Terry Moran said those symbols were on the picture to show what the tattoos represent, basically. And Trump's like, no, no, no, no. What do you mean? Interpretable? No, no, Ms. 13. The liberals argued when Trump held that up, he was intentionally showing tattoos that were fake, despite the fact it was an obvious paintbrush, not even a Photoshop. Now they're acting like they knew the whole time. That's what Trump was trying to do. But Trump believed it. Ha ha. That's the hypocrisy of these people. That's the. That's. That's the. The idiocy or the hypocrisy. They know they're lying, but you you tweeted out the video, you said.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I tweeted out the video and the picture in reference where Trump's holding up a picture of the guy's hand. It shows the four symbols, like the skull, the marijuana leaf, and then up above, you can tell there's a. Like a superimposed MS.13 on his knuckles that obviously aren't tattooed. On his knuckles.
Ian Crossland
Let me. Let me play the video for you guys. I got it.
Terry Moran
Then they looked, and on his knuckles he had MS.13.
Ian Crossland
There's a dispute.
Terry Moran
Wait a minute, wait a minute. He had MS.13 on his knuckles.
Ian Crossland
Tattoo. He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way, but let's move on.
Terry Moran
Wait a minute. Okay, Terry, Terry, Terry.
Ian Crossland
He did not have the letter MS.13.
Terry Moran
It says MS.13.
Ian Crossland
That was photoshopped.
Terry Moran
So let me just Photoshop. Terry, you can't do that. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you. But that's okay.
Ian Crossland
I picked you.
Terry Moran
Terry, Being very nice. He had ms.13 tattoo.
Ian Crossland
We'll agree to disagree. I want to move on to something else.
Terry Moran
Terry, do you want me to show you the picture?
Ian Crossland
I saw the picture.
Terry Moran
Well, let's Photoshop. Well, here we go.
Myron Gaines
Here we go.
Terry Moran
Don't Photoshop it. Go look at his hand.
Ian Crossland
He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert on them. I want to turn to Ukraine. I want to get to Ukraine.
Terry Moran
No, no, no, no. He had Ms. As clear as you can be not interpreted. This is why people no longer believe. Well, the news. Because when he was photographed in El Salvador.
Ian Crossland
In El Salvador. They aren't there. But. But let's just go. They aren't there when he's in. Elsewhere. Oh, you know, take a look at.
Terry Moran
The photograph there now. Right. No, but they're. They're in your picture, Terry.
Ian Crossland
Ukraine.
Terry Moran
Sir, he's got MS.13 on his knuckles.
Myron Gaines
All right.
Terry Moran
Okay, we'll take a look. It's. You do such a disservice.
Ian Crossland
We'll take a look.
Terry Moran
Yes, he does.
Ian Crossland
So there's.
Myron Gaines
We're doing these adversarial interviews.
Tim Pool
No, this is great chemistry.
Myron Gaines
Democrats never do. Like, they never. Kamala didn't even touch until the end of the campaign. Fox, I think. Who'd she do? Someone at Fox. I forget.
Ian Crossland
I'm going to throw. I got to throw shade at Terry Moran.
Tim Pool
You can.
Ian Crossland
He keeps trying to cut Trump off, as is part of the problem.
Myron Gaines
Yep.
Ian Crossland
I personally believe Trump did Not understand that the paper he was given was showing a legend saying the marijuana leaf means M. You can pull it up too.
Tim Pool
It's on my. On the same post on my Twitter page, I posted a picture as the first comment below the video.
Myron Gaines
If you. Yeah, they use a lot of it. And that's what gang culture is. A lot of times this is with every gang bloods crisp, etc. So different.
Ian Crossland
Here's. Here's what I think signs. I think somebody administration took this image of his tattoos Obrego Garcia's marijuana smiley cross and skull. They clearly used paintbrush, not Photoshop. It looks like paintbrushed if you ask me. And then put the Ms. The 13 showing that's what it represents. I think they went to Trump and said these are the tattoos that he had. And Trump misunderstood, wasn't paying attention, and now genuinely believes that Trump is wrong and it is a gaffe.
Tim Pool
Yeah, and he should.
Ian Crossland
It's a mistake. No, I shouldn't apologize to Terry Moran. Terry Moran, in my opinion, is the one who handled this poorly. As the interviewer, Donald Trump said, do you want me to show the show you the photo? He should have said, yes, let's clear this up because I don't want people to think I'm treating you unfairly. And it's best we get to the truth on this one.
Tim Pool
It's a good opportunity for Trump to apologize to this guy publicly because first of all, they have great chemistry. They should do more interviews together. But if he apologizes, because firstly, the thing about Trump that's great is that he's real. If he makes a mistake, he admits it, at least from what I know. Not, maybe not every time, but when he does it, people love him more. And if he grabs some humility in this is like, I made a mistake and I'm sorry about that.
Myron Gaines
Here's what makes you clarify, because a lot of people don't understand that gangs often do this where they use symbols to make it. Not make it obvious that they're a member of a gang because they don't want to be identified by the gang units in these jails, etc. You know, it's very common. All gangs do this.
Ian Crossland
Trump. Trump may argue he was speaking figuratively. I don't believe that. I think Trump genuinely thought the MS.13 was actually on the hand. But I would not be surprised because there's going to be a lot of diehard Trumpers who are arguing Trump doesn't mean he doesn't speak literally. Like, this has been a common Thing, you know, the media takes him literally on everything.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Trump is saying, clear as day, the marijuana means S. What are you talking about? It's clearly on his hand. And the reporter is saying, no, it wasn't. It's interpretable. And Trump could be construed as arguing interpretable. The marijuana, the smiley, the cross and the skull is clearly Ms. 13.
Tim Pool
But he's like.
Ian Crossland
But I don't believe that.
Tim Pool
He's like, literally, there's an m, an S, a 1 and a 3. Literally. Terry, listen. There's an M on his finger. He's like, blatant.
Myron Gaines
Because Trump. Because the Trump. What Trump should have done was clarify that. Look, it doesn't literally mean Ms. 13. It means these are the symbols. And let me explain to you why. So the American public get it, but obviously the Democrats are trying to say, look, he's so stupid, they put Photoshop and he thinks it's ms.13.
Ian Crossland
But no, but I think Trump genuinely thinks the M and the, like, the literal letters are on his hand.
Myron Gaines
Oh, okay. You think that he actually, like, understand the symbology?
Tim Pool
Yeah, right now.
Myron Gaines
But when he did this interview.
Ian Crossland
Symbolism, Doc. Saints reference.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, symbolism, symbolism.
Ian Crossland
What I think happened is Trump's a busy guy. He doesn't pay attention to the minutia.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
When the Abrego Garcia story was happening, someone in his administration, probably an intern or an aide, made this Photoshop showing what the marijuana smile lead the cross in the school meant, handed it to Trump and said, can you get a picture of this so you can show the gang tattoos? Trump looks at it briefly and goes, wow, Ms. 13. And walks away.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
He then sits down and this is. This is. I will say it. No problem. This is a stupid gaffe on the part of the president. But I understand he's a busy guy.
Myron Gaines
And he's old, too. That's another thing that's important. These. These older guys, like, can't see. They don't know the difference between photos. They could barely turn on a computer or use a computer.
Tim Pool
Like, oh, dude. If you want to talk about cognitive, like, quality cognitive, if you're going to make fun of Joe Biden, you cannot let this guy slide on this and double down.
Ian Crossland
This is not an issue of cognition.
Tim Pool
If he's going to pretend like he didn't know, that is, like, demented.
Ian Crossland
Like, I think that's stupid.
Tim Pool
Well, I'm just saying you call out humans for cognitive, you know, mistakes. Regardless.
Ian Crossland
Let me ask you something. Do you know. Do you know what I say whenever anyone asks me about anything? At this company.
Phil Labonte
Like, I don't know.
Ian Crossland
No, no, no, that's close. That. That is one of them. Okay, anybody in the room right now, when someone says like, hey, Tim, I need to get a new microphone, what's my response?
Phil Labonte
Like, talk to delegate. You delegate the authority to whoever it is to who?
Tim Pool
Allison?
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
So what do I say?
Tim Pool
Talk to.
Ian Crossland
See if.
Tim Pool
Let's see what Allison thinks.
Ian Crossland
Allison. Yeah, yeah.
Tim Pool
And then I got 90 emails. Sorry, Allison.
Ian Crossland
So when someone comes to me and they're like, hey, we ordered those speakers. Do you know if they came? I go, huh, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Tim Pool
And this is a. Well, the thing is, because it's so high profile, I would say this is a low level thing. But because it's such a high profile case, I think people would have expected that he knew exactly what he was looking at.
Ian Crossland
Here's my issue. If you want to mock Trump because he thought that that crude paintbrush was real, please do so. Donald Trump. This is a gaffe. There is no reality where Trump is going to be gaff free. He's a human being. He tweeted coffee fee. Everybody knows he sausage fingers, Twitter. It's funny. Trump made a mistake, okay? Mock him for his mistake. It's fine. What my issue is, when Trump initially held up that photo, we all knew what he was doing. And liberals were arguing that was a real tattoo. Let me try and say this one more time. In that photo, what did I just pull? I pulled that. That you had the image I think I pulled up. When Trump held this image up right here, all of the media argued that this crude Times New Roman was a literal tattoo on his head.
Tim Pool
Maybe he read that in the news.
Ian Crossland
Trump had photoshopped it. They said Trump posts altered image.
Phil Labonte
I get it now, okay?
Ian Crossland
Now that Trump, Trump made this gaffe, all the liberals came out of the woodwork and they were like, haha. We knew the whole time that it wasn't a real tattoo.
Tim Pool
So I think let him laugh. And that's why Trump, if he acknowledges it, owns the mistake and apologizes. Like, laugh as much as you want. He's the bigger man. That's a huge talent.
Phil Labonte
He doesn't need to apologize to, but.
Tim Pool
He'S going to look like a great.
Phil Labonte
Guy if he does, you know?
Ian Crossland
Well, I do think there's also a reality where Trump says something later on. Like, look, Trump was asked by Goldberg about whether he's going to run for a third term. He said no. He was like, look, I know a lot of people they chant three and they chant a third. But it's not something we're actually going to do. And he was.

Ian Crossland
Just, you know, he's like, it's a goof, basically.
Tim Pool
They're like throwing people off the scent. They're doing so much.
Ian Crossland
I mean, Trump did the. TRUMP 2028 because it's funny and he knows people are gonna buy it.
Tim Pool
It's a troll and maybe a sweet.
Ian Crossland
When Trump was literally, legitimately asked by Goldberg and the Atlantic journalists, he said, no, no, very calmly said, we're not doing that. You know, we're not going to look at it. He's like, he's like, you know, maybe I'd like to, but it's very hard. So I don't think it's going to happen. It's not something we're pursuing. We're not looking into it at all in this regard. The issue is Trump made a mistake. Terry Moran, as a journalist, decided to be adversarial and argue with him. Instead of saying, this is an opportunity for us to get to the truth. Why don't you pull up that photo right now and let's take a look. Then he would have looked at it and said, Mr. President, do you believe that M was actually on his hand? And Trump would have said, said, yes. And then he would have said, can we get someone from your admission, this, this, this is an image that was created to represent what those symbols mean. That would have been tremendous for all of us. That would have been tremendous for the.
Tim Pool
Ratings and for everything.
Ian Crossland
So Trump Made a mistake. He can own that. I got no problem saying it. Trump's made a lot of mistakes. Trump launched 59 Tomahawk missiles into Syria, a much worse mistake. But the journalists, I don't think you'll.
Myron Gaines
Admit it though, the guy was very proud. I don't think he'll admit. He's just going to let it kind of, I don't know, continue on.
Ian Crossland
Trump, Trump, sometimes he makes fun of himself a lot.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, no, man, I don't know about this. I don't know if he'll come, he'll say, oh, it was a mistake.
Ian Crossland
Hold on. Here's another reality issue. Another reality is Trump is intentionally lying.
Tim Pool
Yeah, that was something. People said that. They're like, he's playing 9D chess. I'm like, I don't know five times in the interview.
Ian Crossland
It may. Look, I guarantee you Democrats are like, haha, Trump thought it was real. I'll say, no, he knew it was fake. He's lying to you. What are they going to say? No, he's not. He's telling the truth. Oh, he's telling the truth now. Now there is, I believe my personal opinion is Trump genuinely made a mistake. He thought that photo was real. It's okay. People make mistakes. It's a stupid mistake to make, but whatever. However, there is a possibility. Trump is saying this cuz he knows there's a lot of people who aren't gonna check. And then he says, this is why people don't trust you anymore. And there are gonna be a lot of Trump supporters who are like, yup, he literally had MS.13 in his hand and the journalist lied.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, I mean, it's. Which is why I think that he might not. I think he should come out and clarify, say, hey, look, this was a mistake, it was symbolism. But I don't think he will. He's just going to kind of let it die down and move on.
Tim Pool
By the way, there is not a big deal.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, this interview, he's going to feel like, I don't need to clarify this.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, this interview was amazing. Can we pull up, can we pull up the more fun stuff?
Myron Gaines
I give them credit for doing these adversarial interviews because you know, the Democrats don't do this.
Ian Crossland
Here we go. From deadline.
Myron Gaines
Biden on Fox.
Ian Crossland
Now let's grab the story. We got this from Deadline. Frankly, I never heard of you. A testy Donald Trump tussles with Terry Moran during contentious ABC News interview. That was great. But then we have this. Listen to this. This is, this is gold. Do you Think the reputation of the.
Terry Moran
United States has gone down under your presidency? No, I think it's gone way up. And I think we're a respected country again. We were left at all over the world. We had a president that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs, couldn't walk. Walk down a flight of stairs, couldn't walk across the stage without falling. We had a president that was grossly incompetent. You knew it, I knew it, and everybody knew it. But you guys didn't want to write it because you're fake news.
Ian Crossland
All right, thank you. By the way, abc, wait, the best part. Listen to what Terry Moran says.
Terry Moran
All right, you knew it, but you guys didn't want to write it because you're fake news.
Ian Crossland
All right, thank you.
Terry Moran
By the way, ABC is what.
Ian Crossland
I thanked him.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
He said, thank you.
Terry Moran
The worst, I have to be honest.
Myron Gaines
You know, that's the only reason I think about it. You just want to tell them to their face, you guys are fake news and you guys suck. That's the only reason he did this interview.
Ian Crossland
Terry Moran said. All right, thank you.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Geez, bro.
Myron Gaines
He's like, I hate abc. Let me get the guy that I'll have the least problems with just so I can say that you guys are fake news. He. You could tell anytime he gets a chance to make fun of Biden, which is hilarious by the way he takes it. And then he wanted to tell ABC that they suck to their face.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. And he should.
Myron Gaines
That's the only reason he did it.
Phil Labonte
It was the right. It was the right thing for Donald Trump to do. The media has been look derelict in their duty for. They were derelict in their duty for four years. They covered for Joe Biden.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
When he was incapable of doing his job.
Myron Gaines
So, you know, it's crazy because, you know, prior to Trump coming into office, like, politics wasn't this interesting and fun and funny. Like, I remember when, like, like, okay, before Trump came in. Right. If you look at the Mitt Romney and Joe and Barack Obama debate, they were so posh, great decorum, so polite. Really didn't insult each other. Right. And then you go fast forward to like, Trump versus Hillary and then Trump versus Biden, and he's like saying, like, well, I don't know what he said, or he's saying, like, I would lock her up. Like, he completely. As much as people you could hate or love Trump, which you can. You got to admit, though, is that he revolutionized politics and definitely made it more interesting and entertaining.
Phil Labonte
The biggest zing in the Obama and Romney debate was when Obama said the, you know, the 1980s want their foreign policy back.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
Because Romney correctly said that Russia was a, was a geopolitical rival. And then the, the biggest zinger in the, in the Hillary Clinton Trump debate was definitely because you'd be in jail.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Myron Gaines
You'd be in jail. The tax breaks. Yeah.
Ian Crossland
I do want to interject a little bit. You said they were derelict in their duty. They were complicit.
Phil Labonte
Fair enough.
Ian Crossland
Fair enough.
Phil Labonte
Fair enough.
Ian Crossland
Derelict is actually, you know, I understand what you were trying to deride them and I respect that, but derelict is a cover up.
Phil Labonte
They were complicit.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, they were complicit. Totally true. Joe Biden. There's this video. I gotta pull it up again. It was. It's so good. It's. It's so good. How do I find it?
Myron Gaines
Just like, just the way he always makes fun of him. What was that? Was that a CPAC? You cooked them for like 30 minutes. Like, made fun of Joe Biden for like. It's just funny because like, like before Trump coming into politics, it was like completely a big. No, no. So personally insult your political rival. Like, it was frowned upon. Right. Even if you hate each other. There was like a certain level of decorum. He completely got rid of that. It's hilarious. Now let me play.
Ian Crossland
I'm going to play this clip for you guys. It's, it's. We're doing a best of. Here's a best of Joe Biden.
Myron Gaines
You got the vaccination? Yeah.
Terry Moran
Are you okay?
Myron Gaines
I mean, you seem. No, it works. Or you, you know, or the mom and dad or the neighbor or when you go to church or when you're.
Ian Crossland
No, I really mean it.
Myron Gaines
There are trusted interlocutors. Think of the people. If your kid wanted to find out whether or not there were. There's a man on the moon or whatever, you know something or you know, whether those aliens are here or not. You know, who are the people I talk to beyond the kids who love talking about it? You know what's crazy? You know what's crazy, dude? Like, if you watch, if you watch. Speaking of going back in time, if you watch Biden, I think it was against Sarah Palin back in like 08 or something like that. Completely different guy. Yeah. Yeah, completely, you know, sound mind. Very good. Well, good speaker. Sharp as hell. Like, like when you look at how he used to speak and how he used to be to. Now it's like, is this even the same guy?
Ian Crossland
My theory is that Biden's planning on retiring to play poker. And so he's created this public Persona of infirmity and ineptitude.
Tim Pool
We're gonna be pushing him all day.
Ian Crossland
He's at the table, and he's like, oh, what do you mean, Asia? You know, King? And then they're like, this guy's too late, I guess. I guess I'm calling. And they're like, I got you. I got trips. And he goes, oh, I got a full house.
Myron Gaines
Yep. Like, wait a minute. You ever see the episode of the Fresh Prince where his Uncle Phil, like, pretends he can't play pool? He's like, I don't know what I'm doing here. And then all of a sudden, they're like, oh, well, I'm a pool shark now. I'll say he's made the bet. It was like, oh. And you start cooking up all these.
Ian Crossland
People in the media. They were like, look, behind closed door, Joe Biden's better than he's ever been.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Joe Scarborough said, this version of Joe Biden is the best version he's ever been. So when we played this video for.
Myron Gaines
You, you could believe that. Had you not heard him speak before? Because I'm telling you, a lot of people forget he was vice president under Obama. He was super sharp. Now you look at him, you're like, what the hell is this?
Ian Crossland
But this is the issue. Chuck Todd recently came out and said the narrative that the media missed this story is a right wing, manufactured narrative. It didn't happen. Chuck Todd is developmentally disabled. Because if he watched this clip and concluded that Joe Biden is of sound mind, then he is. Then he's developmentally disabled.
Myron Gaines
You want to know when. When it was over, when Biden debated Trump and he went on this, like, random tangent, and then even Trump was like, I don't know what he said. But then he went on to.
Ian Crossland
I don't know what he said. I don't think he did either.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, I don't think he did either, which was hilarious. And. And honestly, that debate, like, sealed the deal because you had both of them there. Remember, Biden went off for, like, two weeks. No one knew where he was prior to that debate. Oh, yeah, like, they're making jokes, saying he's getting the shots in his butt and everything else like that to wake him up. And he still came into that debate super unprepared, didn't know what was going on. It was a big L. And that debate is actually what ended up making him drop out. Like, I remember Two weeks after that, he pretty much dropped down. Kamala took over. But yeah, dude, anyone that thinks it's crazy what the mainstream media, these journalists.
Ian Crossland
Like the Axios guy said, you know, we missed this story, and we've lost trust because of it. It's like, if you really expect me to believe that you missed this story. When we were all watching those videos.
Tim Pool
There'S this experiment, I think, the Milgram experiment, where they. Or they'll tell people, like, okay, they'll show you a line, and then they show you three other lines. Which one is the same length?
Ian Crossland
I don't think that's Milgram.
Tim Pool
That's not Milgram. That's a different experience.
Ian Crossland
When they electrocuted people.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And people would just do what the authority told them to do over and over until they thought they were killing the person. They would.
Ian Crossland
No, they'd keep going.
Tim Pool
Yeah, keep going. So there's a line that's three inches, and they get these other lines and people you see, obviously which line is the same. But the 10 people that go before you, they're all in on it, will all pick a different line that's the wrong length. And then by the time it gets to the person over and over, they would. They would pick the wrong line because that's what the group said.
Ian Crossland
Better. Better. It's this.
Tim Pool
It's this phenomenon.
Ian Crossland
I disagree. I think they're in on the take. But that is an interesting phenomenon you bring up. There's another experiment they did, and you can watch the videos online. It's fascinating. It was like a reality TV show. They have a person goes into, like, a clinic, and there's a guy sitting in a chair, and there's a bunch of open chairs in the waiting room. The person goes in and sits down. And then, like, something beeps. It goes beep. And the guy stands up and then sits down. And the person who comes in is sitting there like, whoa, what was that all about? Another person walks in and sits down. The beep goes off. They both stand up and sit down. Eventually, there's like 10 people that have come into the room, and they. The beep goes off. They all stand up, then they all sit down. Eventually, the person who's being experimented on starts standing up and sitting down too, just not knowing why, because the beeps are going.
Tim Pool
These conformity experience. The one I was talking about, the three line experiment, known as the Ash Conformity Experiment, Asch. Conducted by Solomon ASCH in the 1950s to demonstrate the power of conformity in groups.
Ian Crossland
But these are these Exist for a reason.
Tim Pool
You know why social survival of the.
Ian Crossland
Tribe because if a fire broke out and was ripping through the trees and then a group of like three people on one side of the village screamed and started running, the other people would get scared and then start running too.
Tim Pool
And if you faked it, you would just end up dying off and people would distrust you. You'd be ostracized.
Ian Crossland
So if you ignored the threats, if.
Tim Pool
The people were faking the threats, they would be ostracized from the that's not.
Ian Crossland
The fact of the factor is the reason this exists. Evolutionary psychology would be that humans tended to heed social cues cues to avoid disaster because if they did not, they would die. But that is not what we're seeing here. What we're seeing here is journalists were basically saying, I know he's unwell, but I'm not going to be the one to say it because I don't want to lose my job.
Myron Gaines
Yep. And Democratic Party is in shambles. What do you guys think about it? Looks like AOC is going to run. What do you guys think about this?
Ian Crossland
Well, it is so I didn't she.
Tim Pool
Within the next 20 years, but probably not 2020.
Ian Crossland
I want to, I want to shout out the you think she'll wins Morgan show me eventually. Today I went on Piers Morgan's show and Sri Tenadar was on it. He's the guy's impeaching Trump and he starts ranting about Trump.
Myron Gaines
That Indian guy.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. He's like, Donald Trump is deporting a two year old and a four year old. And I'm just sitting here like, oh my God. And then so you know, Pierce was like, tim and I just got an accident.
Myron Gaines
You shouldn't be able to run for office.
Ian Crossland
Well, I don't care about that.
Myron Gaines
My point was, hey, I'll say it.
Ian Crossland
You can't impeach Donald Trump for doing things that are just unpopular or because his approval rating is down. And the only reason this guy had the only reason Sri Tanadar I told this to his face over the camera. The only reason he's impeaching Trump is because the Democratic Party is in shambles. They have no front runner. It's a free for all. And they're a bunch of crabs clawing their way to the top of the bucket. And that's what he's doing. He's saying pick me.
Myron Gaines
Yep. And that's 100 what's going on? They're absolutely in shambles. They don't know what's going on. You Know, I think their strongest, I think Bernie and AOC is probably their strongest card that they can play and that's probably going to run well. He's going to campaign alongside her.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, but endorsing her like crazy, that's fine. But I think by 2028, I don't, I don't know how long. Look, with all the rest, he's old as hell. Right. He's past the average life expectancy. And there is. We call this the mortality factor. At once a certain generation gets a certain age, you can expect them to pass on.
Tim Pool
You know, I kind of see, I.
Myron Gaines
Think he's endorsing, I think, like he's kind of galvanating his audience, his people to basically get behind.
Ian Crossland
Her support is 10%.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
I could see there's no front runner.
Tim Pool
For the President, like, not right now, 20, 30.
Myron Gaines
That's why he's trying to make her it.
Tim Pool
She's like, not ready. Okay. We're all developing right now. We're all getting more information. We're becoming better people ideally so that we could all, probably all four of us at this table could be president at some day if we become better, better people and more equipped to understand what's going on. She's the same way. I don't think she's prepared for it yet.
Ian Crossland
I would never vote for Ian because he's the kind of guy that, like, you look at him and he tries to exude this, you know, like, empathetic, bipartisan thing, but he's talked about wanting executions and military intervention and spreading of democracy would be beautiful. You know, he's a neocon on the inside and a Neil Lib on the outside.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, well, I'm, it's my. We can't, we can't put a woman in office. This is my automatically disqualified fema.
Ian Crossland
No, she can't win. And I'll say this I'm happy to hear. And the feminists get really mad.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
I don't believe one.
Myron Gaines
I believe it is possible, for she is wildly unliked.
Ian Crossland
I believe it is possible for a woman to win if she's older and, but it's going to be very, very difficult, however, especially for a young woman. People 100% psychologically associate height, muscles, deep voice with leadership capabilities and qualities for obvious reasons.
Tim Pool
Literally, if someone attacks him on the street, you want the president to be able to fight the gu guy off.
Ian Crossland
But, but, but the, the, the, the, these desires and these traits are literally rooted in caveman brain.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
When humans were living in the, in the, in the Wild. And the big strong guy was like, listen to me and I'll keep you safe. We'd be like, okay, you're big. You can, you can fight off the bear. AOC is short, frail and has a high pitched voice. And I'm not saying it to be mean.
Myron Gaines
You should be making rice and beans in a kitchen somewhere.
Ian Crossland
Well, she can make, she can make drinks where she can do whatever she wants, but, but my point is there's going to be a large percentage of the population, whether they intentionally realize it or not, that they're going to hear her speak and say absolutely not. That's a reality.
Myron Gaines
She'll do better than Kamala, unfortunately.
Ian Crossland
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Myron Gaines
I think she'll do better than Kamala.
Ian Crossland
Skill, skill and capability can absolutely overcome biases. You know, I think, I don't think she's got it. She could.

Tim Pool
Think she would win is if people were so afraid. Kind of like what happened in Canada with the Mark Carney thing. People were so terrified that Trump actually wanted to take over Canada that they voted for the communist. Not that he's a communist, but they voted for the Chinese, let's say the sympathizer to the whatever the ways of the west. So that if the America does attack Carney's going with China, they're going to ally. So let's if that happened in the United States, we were so afraid of Trump, you could see maybe.
Ian Crossland
Nope.
Myron Gaines
What do you think the reactionary front runner will be then, Tim, in your opinion, who do you think will be? Because they're in shambles they're trying to find somebody. You think it will be okay?
Ian Crossland
I mean, she's the only high profile Democrat right now.
Myron Gaines
I think so too. The problem is so that has somewhat of an audience.
Ian Crossland
We had this conversation a couple of weeks ago when if you look at a liberal YouTuber, Trump is 80% of their thumbnails.
Myron Gaines
If you look at 100%, dude.
Ian Crossland
But if you look at Tim cast IRL, Trump has 80% of our thumbnails. Why in politics right now, Trump owns the space. However, it didn't used to be this way. There used to be various Democrats that were in the limelight. Pelosi and Schumer were, they're getting no attention anymore. They're out of the limelight. Hillary Jeffries, Hillary did especially Obama, especially Jeffries has no X factor and no Q factor, which is X Factor, meaning no charisma and Q, no notability, no celebrity. They're on the Republican side. Donald Trump takes the cake. Make clean. However Elon Musk is there. And then you also sometimes might have like Rubio pops up sometimes not too much. RFK Jr. Pops up. Matt Gaetz might pop up though. He's out of the Congress now. He's doing his show. There were other players with Celebrity Factor. The Democrats have just aoc and it is a limited celebrity factor. It's not even that pronounced.
Myron Gaines
That's a good point, bro. Now because here's the thing. I watch a lot of like leftist creators to see their ridiculous points. That's how I even came across this whole Judge Dugan thing and how they were crying and complaining how stupid they are. But yeah, you're right. Half of it is them literally complaining about Trump or saying, look at me. Prove there's Trump supporter role on terrorists. Like that's literally all they do. They put Trump in a thumbnail and show something about MAGA being stupid, whatever it may be like, that's what they do. Every big left wing political commentator. And you're right, they don't have anybody big on their side. I mean AOC is the biggest and Bernie.
Ian Crossland
But, but I, I, I wonder. I'm going to take a look at the stories that we've got right now. So if I go to our channel, all of them, and I'm, I'm, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna cover this up. I'm gonna read literally our schedule for the next several segments. Here's, here's how, here's, here's how, here's how we do this at Tim Kissed the end of Every show Kellen, one of our producers comes in and he says, here are the unique segments from the show. I then look at the titles and either agree or say maybe change this one. And then he and the team will thumbnail up. I think Kellen does all the IRL clips. They're nodding at me. Yes. And then they get scheduled for us of the week. We've got Ozempic causes blindness America in a soft civil war. Facebook blocks Republican candidate Corporate press lies. Joe Biden accused of fake photo that was a funny one. Researchers caught using AI bots to manipulate documents proving a break of Garcia. These ones are published by now Wisconsin Supreme Court suspends. These are largely news stories. These are the segments from the show. They are not the show titles. The show titles are almost always like big political story usually related to Trump. I'm willing to bet that if I go to a liberal podcast and pull up their their thumb like their their videos, they're not going to be news stories. They're going to be political attacks on MAGA or Trump.
Myron Gaines
100 and, and here's the thing, they do that because that's really the only way they get views a lot of times because the people are tired. Like the past, past 10 or 15 years, people have been really tired of this woke agenda and like liberal content creators have not been getting as much traction. So the way they do it is they just got to insult or attack conservatives or Trump. That's how I do it.
Ian Crossland
I'm going to again, not selective. I'm going to read directly the list from Luke Beasley. First one. Watch reporter destroy Trump. Second one Psychologist explains why Trump is effed in the head. The next two are members only bonus shows. The next one is Watch Trump's face as his own fans lose it. The next one. Oh. Oh, shit. Trump cries. The next one. Watch Trump suffer panic spiral. The next one MAGA host laughed at her face. The next one Breaking Trump rally utter catastrophe. Two bonus shows. It literally just says bonus show members only. The next one. Fox host panics as focus group crushes Trump. The next one. OMG, Trump butt dials reporter. The next one. One Levitt presser goes south. There's no news. There's, there's, there's.
Tim Pool
That's the reactionary.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, it's all. The next one Trump asked question fails. The next one. MAGA fans meet Zelensky turns against Trump. Two bonus shows. The next one. Trump's brain suddenly powers down. The next one. Hegseth screams face off. And tv. The next one Trump was asked about her. That's all it says, dude.
Myron Gaines
There's no political analysis or commentary. It's literally just like, like reacting to something that Trump did and saying, look at this bad fascism.
Ian Crossland
So this is what they do.
Myron Gaines
This is the whole Dugan thing. I was like, these guys have it 100% wrong. And that's just one video I tuned in to, like, to see.
Ian Crossland
So this is what we're doing wrong. Like, I just read the segments for you guys. Ozempic, the soft Civil war. Facebook blocks a Republican candidate.
Myron Gaines
The corporate outrage stuff.
Ian Crossland
Corporate press lies deport Detroit women. Joe Biden fake photo researchers caught the AI Bots Court docs of Brigo Garcia. Like, here's how. Here's how we do the show. So in the morning, when I'm doing the morning show, I'm lining up all of these different stories and I'm reading everything. Then before Tim cast IRL, at about 7:15, I come in. I've already got a bunch of stories pulled up. We then start arranging them in ways that we. That largely I do it making like, what I think makes sense. If we're starting with this story, these stories make sense. And we'll go in this order. Sometimes we change it. I then ask the crew, what do you guys think is the big lead story of the day today? We were like, it might be the Ukraine thing. We actually didn't get into this, this, this agreement on minerals. And then we talked about it. We're like, I don't know. Trump saying that he's like, like alluding to suspending habeas corpus is massive.
Myron Gaines
Yep.
Ian Crossland
We then record each segment using the news story as the launching point. And the segments that we do, I mean, sometimes they do. Well, a couple are over at 100,000, some are at 50. If we just changed this and, and followed the liberal format, I pulled up David Pakman. You guys ready? First video GOP down. First time in three years, Trump crashes at rally. The next one Trump crashes out half empty rally. The next one GOP down under Trump, almost a recession. The next one, Trump melts down. The next one. Gretchen Whitmer angry about Trump. The next one, Oops. How did Trump make 200 deals if there aren't 200 countries? The next one, Trump Hemorrhage. The next one Trump official can't deny. Empty shelves. The next one Trump press secretary deranged. The next one, shock. Top Trump official can't deny. Literally every single thing is just crazy. I'm angry at Trump.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Tim Pool
When Biden was president, we would do a Percentage.
Ian Crossland
Tony.
Myron Gaines
Dude, I noticed this when I was going through. I was like, what the hell?
Tim Pool
There's like a chunk of stuff we would do, would have Biden in it or Kamala. We did complain about those. My name is. Which we're supposed to do. You're supposed to hold the people in power to the fire, their feet to the fire.
Ian Crossland
God.
Tim Pool
But, but there's also this behavior of. Look at this reactionary where you don't offer a counter point. You don't offer the. The other reality that you want to see. And that is a fear based mentality.
Ian Crossland
Look at this from Brian Tyler Cohen.
Phil Labonte
Oh, God, that guy's.
Myron Gaines
Oh, yeah.
Ian Crossland
Okay, here we go. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Cory Booker. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump.
Myron Gaines
Wild.
Ian Crossland
Dude, Supreme Court. Trump. Trump. Trump.
Myron Gaines
These people.
Ian Crossland
Trump.
Myron Gaines
And they just cry fascism all day. Dude, I'm telling you, it's on the same line over and over. Like the immigration judge. Sorry, the judge one with Dugan. Like they were losing their minds over that one. And it's crazy to me how they all had the same talking points and all of them are royally wrong.
Ian Crossland
You know what?
Phil Labonte
You know what?
Myron Gaines
You don't even know what they're talking about when it comes to immigration.
Ian Crossland
Here's my idea.
Myron Gaines
Wild.
Ian Crossland
I'm telling from now on, every segment from Tim Cast irl. Like, here's one that I'm, I really, I thought was a really great story. It's really crazy. Researchers Caught Using AI bots to Shape Public Opinion on Radio Credit. Massive. Guys, put Trump in the thumbnail and the title should now be Trump, exclamation point. Researchers caught Using AI Bots to Shape Public Opinions. Dude, it is. It is really disheartening.
Myron Gaines
And here's the thing. They're getting views because a lot of these people aren't even really Democrats. A lot of times they're just people that dislike Trump. So they know. All right, Even though I'm not going to get a lot of people that even agree my political ideology, I just know that a lot of them dislike Trump. So I'm going to go ahead and put him in the title so I can get everyone to kind of come in and watch. They just hate Trump.
Ian Crossland
Brian Tyler Cohen is the Trump Review channel. That's literally all these guys.
Tim Pool
That Trump reply guys back in his first term is so lucrative.
Myron Gaines
All of them, dude. It's like literally they all have the same exact talking points on the left, man. Every big left wing political commentator saying the same shit over and over. And I caught on when I saw all their commentary on this Dugan chick and I was like, wow, they don't really care about the truth. They just care about outrageous saying this is fascism, this is whatever. But they don't realize that the woman broke the law.
Ian Crossland
Do you think the Young Turks will do the same thing?
Myron Gaines
No, I haven't seen them cover the judge to be Okay. I have not seen.
Ian Crossland
So let's go with the Young Turks and we're going to start with Trump. Second one, Trump. The next two are members only interviews. Then you've got Charlemagne and check. Then you've got Trump. Trump, Trump, Trump. Bonus episode. Bonus episode, Bonus episode. Members only. Then Pro Israel mobile. Then Congressman slams Trump. Then Liberals triumphant Canada. So it does still appear to be Trump.
Phil Labonte
A lot of Trump.
Ian Crossland
It's not as bad though. It's not as bad.
Myron Gaines
Not as bad. The other half is for Netanyahu. There you go. The other half is because that's one thing me and Check and Tyt agree on is the whole Israel thing. Like, that's, that's about it.
Ian Crossland
But I want to point this out too. I feel bad for Cenk Uygur. Obviously he does have a lot of Trump in here. Yo. An hour ago they got 2, 000 views on this. Let's go back to. Here we go. Where's. Let's, let's go.
Myron Gaines
Let's.
Ian Crossland
Let's pull up a Trump thing from.
Myron Gaines
Like I'll give him credit because he'll sit down with conservatives. He'll at least sit down with.
Ian Crossland
But look at this. He's getting. Yeah, like the Young Turks are getting here, right?
Myron Gaines
Yeah, yeah.
Ian Crossland
They're getting no traffic. Look at this. Terrible polls for Trump. Six thousand views one day ago.
Myron Gaines
Telling you, dude, liberals don't like the left wing media. They don't get the same amount of views they did 10 years ago. Unless they talk about Trump. Trump. It's the only way.
Ian Crossland
If people like Luke Beasley and David Pakman stopped lying about Trump, then I'm sure Trump's polls would skyrocket. But if you live in David Pakman world, like did we just. Did I have David Pakman pulled up? Where is it?
Myron Gaines
You didn't pull him up?
Ian Crossland
I, I did, but I just read on your side.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, you didn't.
Ian Crossland
Where are we at? Pac Man. Pac Man.
Tim Pool
It's really like 20 years.
Myron Gaines
Like.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, so he gets, he gets, he gets, he gets a tremendous amount of views. But like Trump challenges journalists to cognitive test in nutty interview. It's just like he has created a bubble world. Where if you're subscribed to his channel, literally the only things you see is the nightmare reality of Trump screaming in your face. And that's just terrifying.
Myron Gaines
These guys go on. Does he, has he been here before? No, no.
Ian Crossland
The first time we asked him, he said he'd do it for five grand. The second, the second time we asked him, he said that, that he would consider it, but he's busy and he'll try to make time.
Myron Gaines
Dude, you know, that's, I think the biggest thing. Like conservatives most of the time will sit there and talk with a liberal if like the viewer, like the, you know, audiences are comparable. But like, I've noticed, like they won't sit down with us. Like they just won't like.
Ian Crossland
Well, well, let's, let's, let's, let's address this.
Myron Gaines
Fact that he even said 5k when you have a bigger show than he does is crazy.
Ian Crossland
It was a couple years ago. Well, I mean, to be fair, like, David Padman's got 3 million subscribers and some of his videos get hundreds of.
Tim Pool
Thousands of views, sometimes probably worth $4,000 an hour. $5,000 an hour.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, but here's the thing. Doing a live show is significantly harder than doing pre recorded content and just talking on a mic.
Ian Crossland
What I will say is there, there are different universes in shows and everybody's always trying to claim to the biggest show. So, you know, like Kill Tony said that the biggest live podcast, but they're a comedy show, not really a podcast. And I mean they technically are, but they're also not live. They premiere. So. But he said that. Then you've got nelk boys. They said, they said they're the biggest podcast on YouTube. Everybody's trying to claim, I mean, Joe Rogan's on YouTube and he's big in there.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, yeah.
Ian Crossland
But what I will say is we actually track the live metrics and Tim Cast IRL is the third biggest live stream in the country and we've consistently been for the past couple years. It is surprising to me too, because.
Myron Gaines
You know why it won't come out? Because it's live. Live.
Ian Crossland
Exactly.
Myron Gaines
When it's, when it's live, dude. What I've realized like from meeting people, there's very few people that can actually live stream, dude, like me, you, a couple others. But most YouTubers actually can't live stream and be able to speak and talk about things real time. Like these guys that do pre recorded content like this, they're just not good live. And then for them to be in an Adversarial environment and have to be live. It's a double win.
Ian Crossland
So here's the point I was gonna make. Right now, between YouTube and Rumble, we're at about 70, 000 concurrent viewers. Yep. And we, we, we hit between like 63, 70K, which puts us almost every day, Monday through Friday, at around third place, David Pakman. And my point is, I think that's because as I went through our list of, of segments that we put up.
Myron Gaines
70 right now, pretty much, yeah. Looking at the numbers right around rumble.
Ian Crossland
In YouTube, it's going down because we're getting. I got to go to super chats, but I want to make this point. So we cover all the big stories that, you know, these are what's trending in the news and stories we think are big and that are important, like the AI Bot stuff and Moscow Bombs Kiev. I mean, one of our segments, Moscow bombs Kiev, 73,000 views. Not political. War, war, conflict, crisis. Because I think these things are important. I think this confers to us a large live audience who knows that we're going to talk about an eclectic spattering of news, largely political. The reason why David Pakman can't come on this show or Kyle Kalinsky is that all David Pakman does is say everything Trump does is wrong, no matter what, in an isolated, in isolated confines of the Pacman compound. And it's true of Luke Beasley and it's true of Brian Tyler Cohen. The only thing they can say is, here's a selective video of Trump and I'm going to insult him. And that's it.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
If you were actually to bring him in here and say, let's talk about foreign policy, like you and I are going off on the Suez, I mean, we were really in the weeds on like, like this. The cast being.
Myron Gaines
Here's the thing we disagree on, we could still have a discussion. These guys can't do it, bro. That's what I realized with a lot of these, like, they just can't have disagreements and conversations to be civil. They just can't. But, but, you know, Luke, I'll give him credit. He came here like, we, me and, me and Andrew destroyed him. Another guy.
Ian Crossland
My point is, you come here, you want to come here, and you're going to say, here's why I think this thing in the Middle east is happening this way. And I'll say, I think you're wrong. It's this way. David Packman could say anything about that. It. He'd be confused.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
He'd be like, honestly, I haven't read anything about that. But if you want to know why I think Trump smells bad, I'll tell you what I think.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. A lot of them don't even care about foreign policy.
Ian Crossland
They don't care.
Myron Gaines
They don't. Yeah, they don't care about foreign policy. To me, foreign policy is one of the most important things to me politically.
Ian Crossland
But I agree. We got it.
Myron Gaines
You guys don't care.
Ian Crossland
We got to go to Rumble Rant. Super chat. Sorry to cut you off.
Tim Pool
Brought up Toe Jam and Earl last night.
Ian Crossland
I bought the wrong one.
Tim Pool
What's that about the wrong one?
Ian Crossland
I bought part two.
Tim Pool
That sucked.
Ian Crossland
I know.
Tim Pool
But I saw Wrecking Crew also. That came. Yes, as.
Ian Crossland
So we're trying to get it to work. We gotta go. We gotta go to your chats. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Follow me on X and Instagram at Tim Cast. I don't know why I said that. Whatever. Just follow me anyway. Rumble.com Timcast IRL for the uncensored call in show, which will probably get spicy in about 15 minutes. I'm trying to go quick to get a good time. Your chats. Yeah, I mean, I can say what.
Myron Gaines
I want to say. Well, it's gonna be even crazier.
Ian Crossland
I recommend you guys watch the Green Room podcast. Oh yeah, that's that. That should be up now or going up soon. And that's also@rumble.com Timcast I had a.
Myron Gaines
Great conversation on immigration and some other stuff as well, so.
Ian Crossland
So we'll talk more about it. We'll talk more about it. Let's read some chats.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Shane H. Wilder says if Trump suspends habeas corpus, the MSM will have a field day. I can hear it now. Never before has a president done such a thing. Trump is a dictator. Yeah, fine. Then so is Lincoln. That's why I asked people. I was sitting down with the trigonometry guys and it's like a month ago. I don't know if they put the episode up yet, but I asked them, was Lincoln a dictator? And they're British, so they're like, well, I don't know. I don't know. And I'm like, okay. Because that's the question. Was Lincoln a good guy or a bad guy guy? Cuz he arrested politicians. He threatened to arrest a Supreme Court justice. He sent troops to go to war. I mean, these are questions about necessity. All right, let's go. Omn Stone Herald says I not only voted for this, I am still. I still am Expecting more indeed. All right. J. Dirt biker says was pretty worried today after hearing about the power outages in Europe. Cell phone networks.
Myron Gaines
Time is precious and so are our pets. So time with our pets is extra precious. That's why we started Dutch. Dutch provides 24. 7 access to licensed vets with unlimited virtual visits and follow ups for up to five pets. You can message a vet at any time and schedule a video visit the same day. Our vets can even prescribe medication for many ailments and shipping is always free. With Dutch, you'll get more time with your pets and year round peace of mind when it comes to their vet care.
Ian Crossland
Went down in my area for hours with no info available. Thought it was go time. Thankfully not. I think it is important to point out we don't know why, when or how disasters can happen. And sometimes it's rain, you know, so when I told people, buy emergency food, these liberals started making fun of me. And I just, I just, I laughed right back. Like, guys, there was, there was a flood a week ago in Texas. Like, this is a couple years ago. And people were trapped in their town because the bridges was the bridge in Houston.
Myron Gaines
In Houston, yeah.
Ian Crossland
And I'm like, if you had emergency food in your house, you'd be like, we've got food in the pantry. It's probably not gonna take long to fix. But I know that we're, we're gonna be more secure with food and water stored. Sometimes it rains, you know, I'm not telling people to go fight over the last can of beans with Agnes in a Walmart parking lot. I'm saying you pick up some emergency supplies, you got a first aid kit, you get some water, you get some food.
Tim Pool
Food.
Ian Crossland
But, man, when go time comes, I hope people are prepared in a reasonable way. All right. Spartan Bacon says, I know you watch Apple tv. I think you would enjoy the show called foundation if you haven't watched already. Maybe Severance is a bad show. Well, let me clarify. Severance is a C minus show. C minus.
Tim Pool
It's bad in my opinion.
Ian Crossland
Right. I don't. When I say bad, I don't. People think I'm saying, like, it's unwatchable. I watched it. I was bored and I watched it because I felt like I had to because everyone was talking about, I need to know what happened. But I was frustrated and bored most of the time, and I feel the press is fake. However, Silo was really good and I'm looking forward to the next season. Silo was pretty good.
Tim Pool
I want to ask, but since we're in super chats, I don't want to derail too much silo.
Ian Crossland
Silo's about people who live in a silo. The world ended outside. The air is toxic. You'll die. And they're. There's 10, 000 people living in a silo. And so it's this big, you know, it's cool.
Tim Pool
Like life in a vault.
Ian Crossland
It's kind of like fallout in some ways. Yeah. All right, let's go. Truth. A says Tim. The skull in MS.13 means Calavera. Calavera in is skull in Spanish. And the C is the third letter of the Alphabet. Is that. Is that. Who speaks Spanish? You speak Spanish?
Tim Pool
Caballero. Is that what it is?
Ian Crossland
Oliveira.
Myron Gaines
But I'll take his word for it.
Ian Crossland
Someone said it was cranios or something. Thing. But I've heard that the C is the 3 Koya Bea.
Phil Labonte
I don't know.
Ian Crossland
What did you look up skull in Spanish. It's not hard to do. No, he's not even.
Tim Pool
Try to type it phonetically.
Ian Crossland
All right, let's grab some more. What do we got? Baron Von Bolt says, Ian, have you ever tried barefoot walking toe shoes? Very healthy for the body. Check out Tara Humara, tribe of Mexico and. Or read the book Born to run by Christopher McDougal. Yeah.
Tim Pool
The Tarahumara are a tribe in. In Mexico that run for like 18 hours. A. They'll drink corn beer as their dietary main food. And then they just run non stop.
Ian Crossland
Right.
Tim Pool
And they'll like wrap rubber under their feet sometimes. Or they run barefoot and they run pad first. They don't heel strike. And yes, by the way, I grounded in the.
Ian Crossland
They don't heel strike.
Tim Pool
No, they run like on their toes, kind of on their pads. That's what they run. And that's how. I guess that's Long distance runners tend to run like that. It's way easier on your.
Ian Crossland
Don't use. You don't use your heels.
Myron Gaines
You.
Tim Pool
You go like what, Front of the foot first and then you. The heel comes down. Oh, mid. Mid strike. I was in this. Yeah, yeah. Try it. It's great. You'll. You'll find more stamina. You can work different muscles, but eventually.
Phil Labonte
Calaveras go in Spanish.
Tim Pool
Calavera, carabera, cranillo. Also it could be. And so I grounded today in the grass. I got out of the sauna and it's a very different experience putting bare feet in the grass out of the sauna because I could feel like every blade.
Ian Crossland
Did you feel the energy of the earth flow through you.
Tim Pool
I'll do Reiki and I'll have energy come from the stars, through my body as a conduit into the earth's core. And then create a channel through the core back to the stars.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And circle it around and I'm like a part of the conduit. And I picture all these stars and energy going out to all the stars and back through me. And just do these meditations. Always into the earth's core. Not always, but.
Ian Crossland
All right, we got. Let's grab some more. We got coralwag. It says Alien Invasion act is a wartime statute. The obstruction from these judges under a wartime effort can be charged with treason. It's all or nothing is what we need now. Charge the judges with treason. I disagree. It's seditious conspiracy. There's a difference. But I also think it doesn't matter. No matter what Trump does, literally, Trump is going to be walking down the street. He's going to walk out of the White House and he's going to go, and they're going to be like, unconstitutional. He's. He's defiling the White House. Get him out. And he's going to be like, what happened? He's going to go to McDonald's to buy a cheeseburger, and they're going to claim that he's putting the presidency at risk by eating unhealthy food.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. It's a tough situation, like I said, because, like, I can see why the need for it, but at the same time, I could see how it can impede other people's, you know, right to due process. So it's one of these situation. It's almost like a catch 22, man, because people are going to suffer under it that do need to have due process, but then there's other people that need to just get deported because we have this huge immigration problem right now.
Ian Crossland
You know, I'm. Look, I'm just. Because I got David Pakman's thing pull up. He's really weaponized the addiction to Trump.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
In a way that's made him a millionaire.
Myron Gaines
Dude, it's crazy.
Ian Crossland
I hope. I wonder what these people are going to do when Trump is out of office. Nobody wants a third term for Trump more than, like, David Pakman and Brian Tyler Cohen.
Phil Labonte
They would be. They would. They would really, really be.
Myron Gaines
Dude, if Trump had lost the election, they'd be broke. Because. Because I'm serious. Like, they would. What would they make content on? Kamala being terrible? No, what would they make content on?
Phil Labonte
Well, I mean, look, during the Biden administration, people were still talking about Trump.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
And if he lost, they would talk about the possibility of Trump running again. They would do it for four years.
Myron Gaines
I'll be honest, dude, he would have went to prison.
Phil Labonte
Well, yeah, and they would have.
Myron Gaines
I'm sure that, I'm sure that's, that's like, that he. 100.
Phil Labonte
You can run from prison, though.
Myron Gaines
I guess you can, but like.
Phil Labonte
Well, they would talk about it.
Myron Gaines
You know, it's like he would have. And I've talked about this before. I think the criminal case that caused the most problems that I was worried the most about was the classified document case. That's the one that they had him on, debt to rights. Because as much as he might say, hey, look, I declassified the documents national defense information. Ndi like, there's no way around that. And I've charged espionage before. So like, I know it's a very, it's ran broad in a way, you know, to cover military information. And the fact that they wrote a search warrant. It was, they went to his house, they were lawfully there, they found the documents. It wasn't there in a. And obviously held in a certain manner. Like they would have had him on that all day, man. So that's what I was the most worried about.
Phil Labonte
No matter what happens or like, if, if there's a Democrat that wins the next, next election, if there's a Democrat administration, all that stuff is back on the table.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. I mean, he would have to. And that's an interesting thing because I was saying to myself, what's he going to do when he's out? Like, would he preemptively pardon himself? Like, what would. I don't know what he would do. It is hilarious, though, that he's got the, the Attorney General for New York literally basically did the same thing that he did and they wrote a thing to her, to the Department of Justice because she was committing mortgage fraud, which is hilarious.
Phil Labonte
Yep.
Ian Crossland
All right. Rizzy says you missed the point of the super chat, Tim. Why are we screening immigrants social media for anti Semitism but not anti American sentiment. No one disagrees. That is hypocritical, wrong, and shows a heavy bias for Israel. My point is, I don't care if you're Canadian or British either. If our, if, if, if the Trump administration takes issue with you and considers you a threat, I would say this, then you can leave. And I will also add, I do think there's a degree of criticism to be levied at foreigners who come to the. Come to the United States to do politics. And I'm friends with many of these Canadians who have done this, but I'm still going to tell them, like, isn't it funny that you're Canadian? You came here to do politics in America? How about we give a shout out to Ian Miles Chong, right?
Myron Gaines
Oh, yeah.
Ian Crossland
I mean, to be fair, I'm gonna give him credit where it's due. He's really good at what he does.
Myron Gaines
Foreigner.
Ian Crossland
But he's from Malaysia.
Tim Pool
Malaysia.
Ian Crossland
Never been here.
Myron Gaines
Like, he's been here once because I actually made fun of him on it. Okay. I said, bro, you haven't even been here. You're like, out in the Middle Asia somewhere. I think he lives in the UAE now. But, yeah, yeah, he's only been here, like, once. Like in 2014. Like, he wasn't here since Obama was in. Yeah, basically. And I was like, dude, like, what the. Like, you.
Ian Crossland
You've got people who don't live here who do politics here. Not to be fair, he's allowed to, like. Yeah, because he's not here. If he came here, I'd be like, bro, you know? But to be fair, there. There. There is a certain degree of people are allowed to come here, become residents and citizens, and engage in politics. My issue, first thing I will say is obviously they're targeting Israel on this one. The people they're going after have criticized Israel and they're screening for antisemitism. That is clear bias. Obviously, a lot of times, not even.
Myron Gaines
Anti Semitism, it's being critical of Israel. You know what I mean?
Ian Crossland
That's what I mean. Well, yeah, that. Critical of Israel is listed under the.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. Now. Yeah, they're changing the rules.
Tim Pool
Semite is a desert person. Yeah, that's what the term means.
Ian Crossland
But just. Just to clarify.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, what is it?
Ian Crossland
The uhra, I believe.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. The International Holocaust remembers ihra. Basically, they. They define anti Semitism. But here's the problem. If you go on the website, Tim, you can look at this. It literally says working definition of anti Semitism, which means they reserve the right to change the definition at any time. Dude, that's why I have such a problem with this. Like.
Ian Crossland
Right. And so the US Said they're going to screen for antisemitism, but that includes denying the right of Jews to a homeland. That. That's considered being.
Myron Gaines
They're expanding it to criticism of Israel, which, if they haven't already done that, but criticism of isra, consider anti Semitism.
Ian Crossland
It also says in the definition, saying things like, Jews killed Jesus is anti. Semitism.
Myron Gaines
Yeah. They're trying to ban the scripture, too. Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Which is literally in the Bible. When Peter, I believe, I'm going to butcher it, so I'm going to spare getting into it. But it was Pilate, I believe, said something like, the blood is on your hands.
Phil Labonte
Oh, yeah.
Ian Crossland
In the Bible, it says that.
Tim Pool
Pilate. Pontius Pilate says it to the people.
Ian Crossland
To which they respond, yes, the blood is on our hands and our children. They wanted, you know, Jesus dead.
Tim Pool
It's so horrible. I feel like it was a Roman.
Ian Crossland
But that's in the Bible. I mean, I'm not. I'm not.
Myron Gaines
And here's the thing that's crazy like this. The. The. This organization isn't an American organization. It's. It's an international organization that is making the definition up for a root word that is used in American legislation. That's a big problem, too.
Ian Crossland
I think there's going to be. So the first thing I. I think is there's an immediate challenge with. Look, there's a lot of Canadians who come to United States to do politics.
Myron Gaines
Oh, dude. A lot of them come here. Another thing. So many Canadians come here and overstay their visas or overstay their visa waiver, and they're here illegally. We have so many illegal Canadians here there. It's insane. A lot of people don't know about it, but.
Ian Crossland
And so I do think, to varying degrees, I don't really care. Like, Seth Rogen's Canadian. Right. I think he's gonna. Oh, I don't know.
Myron Gaines
A lot of them are citizens.
Ian Crossland
I don't really. Right, right. They may have become citizens.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
I don't really care all that much about, you know, Seth Rogen. You've got liberal and conservatives. He's Canadian. Steven Crowder is Steven Crowder Canadian.
Myron Gaines
He's a dual citizen.
Ian Crossland
Dual citizen, yeah. Viva Fry came here from Canada. We like Viva.
Myron Gaines
Yeah, Viva's awesome.
Ian Crossland
I. I think there's a fair criticism to. To anybody who's a foreigner, comes here and it gets involved. Involved in politics, but there's a degree of tolerance. I do think that the Trump administration is heavily biased towards Israel, and that's why they're arresting these people. It's very obvious it's about Israel, But I do think that if the administration wants to deport any one of them, goodbye. That includes Seth Rogen, that includes Viva. And Viva's a friend, and he's a great person. But if the Trump administration said, we don't like that you came here as a guest and began Running a political show, interfering with our processes and said he was going to get out. I'd say, man, sorry, like, see, I.
Myron Gaines
Would fight for Viva because I think he should, like as a. I don't know if he's a green card holder and I don't know his exact status, but I think like, you know, that our freedom of speech is why we're the best country, man. Even if I disagree with them, I think we need to protect their ability to say what they want to say, especially when it comes to political speech.
Ian Crossland
To be fair, there's a moral line, however, in that Viva's pro America, he's not anti America. He wants what's better for America. So there's a moral issue, not a principle.
Myron Gaines
And even I'll take it a step further. Even if an Israeli came here and said, well, you know what? I hate Palestine and I think XYZ about the Palestinians, I would still fight for their right to say that. Even though I dis. Time is precious and so are our pets. So time with our pets is extra precious. That's why we started Dutch. Dutch provides 24,7 access to licensed vets with unlimited virtual visits and follow ups for up to five pets. You can message a vet at any time and schedule a video visit the same day. Our vets can even prescribe medication for many ailments and shipping is always free. With Dutch, you'll get more time with your pets and year round peace of mind when it comes to their vet.
Ian Crossland
Care.
Myron Gaines
Like the state of Israel and what they're doing. I would even fight for that Israeli's ability to say that because I think the freedom of speech is, that is what differentiates us from all these other shitty ass countries. I truly do think we're the best country in the world because of the first Amendment and that's why our forefathers, you know, traversed the Atlantic Ocean through scurvy.
Ian Crossland
Now, now I did call it Blackest Panther, but much due respect, he says, I appreciate the discourse, Tim, tremendous respect. I do appreciate your chat as well.
Myron Gaines
He's one of my guys. Shout out to him.
Ian Crossland
And I appreciate your appreciation and I'm glad that we're able to have these conversations especially.
Myron Gaines
See, we love free speech, man.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, I just, my, my point is America.
Myron Gaines
That's your perspective.
Ian Crossland
America first.
Tim Pool
There's people that are pissed off with the American war machine. They are very pro American values and if those people get caught up and ejected because they complained about our military tactics in the Middle east, that's a big concern to me.
Ian Crossland
I don't want to be involved in the Middle East. I just get offended by, like, there's. It's a scale.
Myron Gaines
Like I said, your perspective is you just don't want foreigners coming in here telling us what to do, which I completely see your perspective.
Ian Crossland
But there's a moral sliding scale. Right?
Myron Gaines
Okay.
Ian Crossland
And Viva Fry and I agree on most things, so I'm happy that he's here. He's helping. Helping me.
Myron Gaines
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
But I do respect the concept of you can create political conflict by allowing foreigners to come in. But at the same time, Seth Rogen's here as well, and I feel that they're the political impact of the liberal, you know, view of Canadians and British people. Like, John Oliver's here. I don't want John Oliver to be deported because he's a scumbag and a liar or whatever. I mean, but maybe. All right, everybody, we're going to that uncensored show over@rumble.com Tim Cast IRL.

Hosts/Guests: Tim Pool, Myron Gaines, Phil Labonte, Ian Crossland
Podcast: Timcast Media
In this episode of Timcast IRL, host Tim Pool engages in a robust discussion with guests Myron Gaines, Phil Labonte, and Ian Crossland about former President Donald Trump's recent statements regarding immigration reform, specifically his veiled threat to suspend habeas corpus to expedite deportations. The conversation delves into constitutional implications, historical precedents, media portrayal of Trump, and the broader impacts on U.S. immigration policy and foreign relations.
The discussion begins with Ian Crossland clarifying Trump's stance on suspension of habeas corpus. At [00:34], Crossland states:
"Trump didn't actually say he wants to suspend habeas corpus, but he kind of did... said we may have to do something that only three other presidents have ever done."
The panel explores the constitutional basis for such an action, referencing Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution, which allows the president to suspend habeas corpus "in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it" ([09:27]).
Myron Gaines emphasizes the urgency from Trump's perspective:
"The President has the authority to do it under Article 2, Section 9 of the Constitution... in the event of an invasion."
However, Ian Crossland points out the historical context, noting President Abraham Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War as a reference point ([07:19]).
The guests debate whether the power to suspend habeas corpus resides solely with the executive branch or requires legislative approval. Crossland reflects on Lincoln's unilateral action, suggesting:
"The precedent is that he can," ([11:19]).
Phil Labonte counters by highlighting the Biden administration's previous immigration policies, arguing:
"The Biden administration invited people. They didn't do anything to prevent illegal immigration."
This sets the stage for a deeper examination of the balance between national security and individual rights within the framework of U.S. law.
Transitioning from immigration, the panel addresses the recent minerals deal between the U.S. and Ukraine, speculating its potential to influence the ongoing conflict with Russia. At [07:25], Crossland suggests:
"This may signal a coming end to the war... because we want those minerals and we ain't going to get them so long as Russia is shooting missiles and shooting guns."
However, concerns are raised about the U.S. potentially becoming financially entangled in the conflict:
"Some are concerned that this basically means the US is going to stay entrenched in this war now with an active financial interest tied to winning it." ([08:08]).
The discussion underscores the complexity of foreign policy decisions and their domestic ramifications.
A significant portion of the episode highlights an interaction between Trump and ABC News reporter Terry Moran. Phil Labonte shares:
"Trump said that the ABC News was fake news to this reporter's face. And it was golden." ([04:29]).
During the interview, Moran aggressively challenges Trump, accusing him of undermining the nation's reputation. Trump retorts by labeling ABC as "fake news" ([84:11]). This exchange exemplifies the contentious relationship between Trump and mainstream media outlets.
The panel critiques Moran's approach, with Crossland stating:
"This is a stupid gaffe on the part of the president," ([74:31]).
Meanwhile, Gaines argues that the media's adversarial stance perpetuates biased narratives against Trump, preventing balanced discourse on critical issues.
The core of the episode revolves around the potential suspension of habeas corpus and its impact on immigration enforcement. The panel discusses expedited removals and the challenges posed by the current immigration system. At [09:02], Gaines explains:
"The only way you can get rid of them... you are not going to be able to have every single person go in front of a judge."
Crossland raises concerns about the legal authority and historical usage of such powers, while Labonte emphasizes the administrative burdens faced by immigration judges:
"They don't want to create problems. They kind of want to do this later, later on in the future." ([35:40]).
The conversation highlights the tension between efficiently managing immigration and ensuring fair legal processes for individuals, especially those with complex circumstances like gang affiliations or political activism.
The hosts express frustration with how mainstream media portrays Trump's actions, particularly regarding immigration policies and executive power. Crossland criticizes the media for painting Trump as dictatorial while ignoring their own biases:
"For what purpose are we even debating at this point?" ([26:49]).
Gaines adds that the media often misconstrues or misrepresents Trump's legal maneuvers, further alienating his supporter base and skewing public perception.
A recurring theme is the significant influence of Israel on U.S. foreign policy and its intersection with immigration enforcement. The panel argues that policies targeting individuals critical of Israel are a manifestation of this influence. Gaines asserts:
"We dictate a lot of our laws based on them," ([61:39]).
This leads to debates on the moral and legal implications of deporting non-citizens for expressing dissent against an ally, raising questions about the extent of free speech protections for foreigners in the U.S.
The conversation shifts to the broader challenges media faces when interviewing political figures like Trump. The panel criticizes journalists for not fostering constructive dialogue, instead opting for adversarial interactions that reinforce biased narratives. Crossland emphasizes the lack of open, fact-based discussions on critical issues like foreign policy and immigration.
As the episode winds down, the hosts reflect on the state of American politics, media influence, and the challenges facing Trump's potential future political endeavors. Myron Gaines contemplates the Democratic Party's struggles in the current political landscape, while Phil Labonte emphasizes the need for unwavering support of the First Amendment to preserve America's foundational values.
Finally, Tim Pool promotes upcoming interviews and encourages listeners to engage via social media and live streams, reinforcing the podcast's commitment to "uncensored discussions and sharp insights into today’s most controversial issues."
This episode of Timcast IRL offers an in-depth analysis of pressing political issues, emphasizing the need for balanced discourse and constitutional adherence in shaping U.S. policies.
