Buy five quarts of Castrol Edge full synthetic motor oil and get a $15 gift card after rebate. Plus two times points at O'Reilly Auto Parts. O, O, O, O'Reilly Auto Parts. Donald Trump is only on, what, his third week? And many people are describing it as a year passing. They said this, what does that mean? This last month has been a very long year.

Last week, Donald Trump did a lot. There's a lot going on right now. He imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico. He fired a bunch of FBI agents and U.S. prosecutors.

Now, Elon Musk and Trump are targeting USAID, a hub of deep state activities. My friends, there is too much news happening. And of all the weeks to miss, because I got dental work done, man, talk about a lot of news to miss. Well, right now, the big story is, of course, with the imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, Canada and Mexico are retaliating.

I love this. They do not know who we are. Now, there are a lot of questions and there are a lot of issues that will have to be addressed. Even Donald Trump is saying it may hurt in the short term. You see, here's the thing. Donald Trump wins with a lot of normie votes because the economy was bad. And now this trade war does stand to cause some problems for the economy.

Notably right now, following the retaliation from Canada and uncertainty in global markets, the stock market and crypto markets are down quite a bit. I've lost a lot of money, but I don't think these these Democrats are coming out and they're saying, regret your vote yet, mega. And I'm just sitting here being like, dude, when I look at my stock portfolio and I see that I have lost money.

That is not a concern to me at all. OK, my concern is going to be for the average American's ability to buy groceries, to get jobs and property, et cetera. But like any responsible individual who is a leader, Trump knows if we do not make these moves now, the pain will only get worse. So, again, my short term immediate concerns for all of you.

Are your prices going to drop down in the short term? When will things start to improve? I'm not entirely sure, but I do know most people in this country are not crying over losing 5% of their stock portfolio, at least right now. I mean, I know there's retirement funds and things like that, and it does affect a lot of people. But for the most part, if I were to come out and say, oh, I'm freaking out for voting for Trump because now my stock portfolio is down. Yeah, literally no one's going to care. But here's the truth.

I believe in Donald Trump. I believe the move he's making. These are some of the most incredible moves I have seen in a very long time, if ever. And I agree with these tariffs 100 percent. In fact, I could not agree more. Now, Trump said that if they want to play this game, he's going to double him. He'll double the tariffs. But let me let me slow down and break down exactly what this means. It means that any good it's not just goods that are made in Canada.

But go through Canada. There's going to be a tax placed on them, a fee, basically, if they want to enter the country. What this will do for what is it? I don't know. It's not even that much. It's and so here's the thing. I believe when it comes to the energy sector, it's like a 10 percent tariff. The goal here for Donald Trump, because he said this, this is it. I'm doing it. It's happening. Have a nice day. He didn't say he wanted anything else. He was asked by reporters. Could Canada do something to change this? He said no. No.

It's happening. Here's the point. We've outsourced so many jobs to Mexico and Canada. The goal here is to bring those jobs back. But I got something big for you guys. Those of you who have listened to our great prophet, Alex Jones, knew this was coming, knew why it's happening.

You knew why it got so bad because I remember 15 or so years ago, I was listening to Mr. Alex Jones talk about this exact issue with Canada, the United States and Mexico, the economy and the plans that were laid out some 10 years before. I believe it's fair to say that Alex Jones laid out a lot of what we saw. It's very interesting.

So, my friends, we're going to break down this stuff. I'm going to tell you why culturally I believe in what Trump is doing. The tariffs are a good thing. There are some negative consequences. I'm not going to downplay that or obfuscate. We're going to talk. I'll tell you the truth. We sell. It was funny because Trump threatening was threatening Colombia with tariffs and they backed down in two seconds. Man, last week was a hell of a year, huh? And we sell Colombian coffee. And at no point did we have a risk of our costs go. It's the weirdest thing. Like.

You know, if there was a tariff placed on it, we might absorb some of that cost. I'm not going to raise the price on it. Ridiculous. Anyway, before we get started, my friends, head over to head over to cast brew dot com. Pick up your cast brew coffee. We still got the delicious gingerbread two weeks till Christmas. Phil's holiday blend. And he's dressed like Santa Claus. Shout out to Phil Labonte for holding down the fort on Timcast IRL for the week where I could not talk.

And even right now, I am only coming to you through the power of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. So it like I just want to stress.

dental work went off without a hitch. I had a negative reaction to the lidocaine, which nobody could have predicted, because I should have been back by Monday. By Saturday, I was fine. And then I had a reaction to lidocaine, which sucked. And these things happen. Ian's Graphene Dream is sold out. Dude, I don't get it. You guys love Ian's Graphene Dream. This dude sold, what, 8,000 bags of coffee in a couple months? We can't keep up with the demand.

We're going to have to crank out more and more of the Ian's Graphene Dream. But, of course, Appalachian Nights is everybody's favorite. We got a ton of that in stock, ground and whole bean. And don't forget to head over to TimCast.com. Ladies and gentlemen, guess what? The Green Room is back. Head over to TimCast.com. Check out our Green Room show. Hanging out with inspiring philosophy as he was discussing Jordan Peterson, Islam, and the Philly plane crash. Actually, the funny thing is the plane crashed during filming.

As a member of TimCast.com, you get access to our Discord server. We got some documentaries. We got a whole bunch of really awesome stuff coming out this year. It's going to be really great. The Green Room Show, of course, is back where we hang out with our guests behind the scenes. We are going to be adding more and more member content because we need your supports as members to make this mission continue.

Smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, my friends, and let's talk about these tariffs. The BBC, of course, you may have seen the news over the past week, or over the past, over the weekend, Canada imposes 25% tariffs in trade war with the US. Now, I absolutely love this because, oh, also, I just want to add, I got married, by the way. I don't know, you can see the ring on my finger, and that's like burying the lead, I guess. Comment below.

about, uh, Alison and I, we are officially married and, uh, what a great, what a great week. I tweeted, uh, that Trump's first month was the greatest month of my life. And tons of people retweeted it being like, uh, yes, Trump is doing wonderfully. And I, and I was kind of just like an inside joke between me and Alison. And, uh, and then someone said something about like, what does Trump even done? I was like, no, I got married. I didn't say Trump did anything. I said, his, his first month was my best month.

So now you get the joke and those who don't watch the show didn't, but there you go. Comment below.

Send me your comments. Let me know what you think. And anyway, so last week, my mouth is I'm unable to talk, trying to say wedding vows and all that stuff. But, you know, you know how it goes. And I talk like that. No, I the secret is you use mouthwash. Clear this with my dentist, of course. And it basically numbs everything. So I'm able to talk right now for about 20 minutes. See, I know what I'm doing. Plus, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

That's ibuprofen for those who don't know what that means. All right. Anyway, so Trudeau, I love this because he comes out of the weekend and he's like, we are I'll play the video for you. We're imposing tariffs on one hundred and fifty five billion dollars worth of goods broke. Nobody wants your poutine. OK, I don't care about your tariffs. No, I'm kidding. There are legit things that transport between Canada and Mexico cars, namely.

And what he's going to be doing now is trying to tax American goods that go to Canada. And the idea, I suppose, I believe we have this right here from Politico. He's targeting Republican states. Bro, this is oh, boy. He what he is doing is political interference. It's hilarious. It won't work.

But I love the attempt. He's basically saying if you supported Trump and you do business with Canada, we are coming for you. Well, as a gentleman, I got news for you. We at Casper Coffee, we sell to Canada. And I don't know what that means at all. Like, literally, I honestly I had no idea what that means.

Get burger.

Available for a limited time at participating restaurants. Tax not included. Price may vary. Not valid with any other offer, discount, or combo. There are kids meals. Then there's the new Hawaiian Bros Kids Meal. Just $5.99. Hooli Hooli chicken, rice, pineapple slices, a drink, tasty dole soft serve, and... Stimulus! Hawaiian Bros. It's a vibe.

But we are still shipping to Canada. I don't know. Maybe it'll cost a little bit more for us and our margins will go down. But, you know, we I like to describe it. We being good business people will absorb that cost as well, something we believe in.

Right. This is an important thing to happen. And if you live in Canada and you like Casper coffee, we're going to try to absorb as much of the cost as we can. And I think we do like we pay the tariffs. What the Democrats keep doing, they're like tariffs are a tax on the people. They're making an argument. They're not stating a fact. OK, tariffs paid for by the person important to good.

So it cost me a dollar to bring up a candy bar across the border. And they say 25% tariff, not $1.25. The implication is when the company pays that tariff to cover their margins, they'll increase the cost of the product by 25%. That would mean that if we want to ship to Canada, the expectation is we would automatically increase the price. Now, to be fair.

There's a lot of automated services. So I need to check to make sure what's going on. But as far as I know, nothing changes on our end. We may have to pay a tax or something, and we've got to make sure we don't go negative. That's the big issue. So it could impact us. But you know what?

We will do everything in our power not to raise prices. I am glad Trump is doing this. This this terror stuff needed to happen. Now, Trump has responded, defending his tariffs and accusing Canada, China, Canada of being very abusive to the United States. And he's right. Here's the video. I disagree with the leadership of Canada and something is going to happen there.

But if they want to play the game, I don't mind. We can play the game all they want. Mexico, we've had very good talks with them. And this is retaliatory. This is retaliatory to a certain extent. Millions of people float into our country through Mexico and Canada. And we're not going to allow that. Speaking with Prime Minister Trudeau tomorrow morning. And I'm also speaking with Mexico tomorrow morning.

And I don't expect anything very dramatic. We put tariffs on. They owe us a lot of money, and I'm sure they're going to pay. We may have short-term some little pain, and people understand that. But long-term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world. We have deficits with almost every country. Not every country, but almost.

And we're going to change it. It's been unfair. That's why we owe $36 trillion. We have deficits with everybody. We help everybody. We've been helping everybody for years. And to be honest, I don't think they appreciate it. So we're going to change that. We're going to change it fast. Bravo, Mr. President. Bravo, Mr. President. Let me tell you, we had this debate two weeks ago, a week and a half ago, Friday.

with Elijah Schaefer and Brad Palumbo. And the discussion was culture, immigration and economics. And these liberals, the neolibs, the neocons and the Democratic Party today are and many libertarians argue what we call is graph go up. Shout out to Angela McArdle. She she she made that point. Very funny. Graph go up. What does that mean? When we talk about

Our border being insecure, drugs, fentanyl, all these bad things they respond with. But our economic numbers are good. And you're like, bro, I don't care if if if the cost of goods dropped by two percent. I don't care if I got a three percent raise. I'm upset that a young woman died because a dude was trying to rape her. Bro, there are certain things we have. We have to prioritize. OK, let me put this way.

Think about all the things we care about. It's called triage, right? We care about affordable living because we're trying to survive, feed our families or otherwise. Now, I suppose for a lot of these people who don't have families and don't have kids, what do they care? What they care about is the cost of cheap goods so they can go out and party and do drugs or whatever to generate garbage they want to do. But the people who are trying to live good, honest, moral lives and want to have families are concerned about whether or not they're going to feed their kids and take care of their families. Probably the greatest fear many people have. It's interesting. And you hear a story about Lake and Riley.

And you get worried. You say, let's triage. We can afford a little bit to work a little bit harder if it means I don't got to worry about my family dying when going outside for a run or something.

Now, if security was good and we didn't have death all over the place, if we didn't have drugs, if we didn't have corruption in government, then we can focus on what we can do to reduce costs. And then if by reducing costs and alleviating border, like reducing border security or something, allocating funds in a different direction, we saw an increase somewhere else. We reverse course. We adjust. We say, OK, that was a problem. It didn't work. So right now what we're seeing, it makes a lot of sense.

The Democrats response, of course, is that all these people voted for Trump because they wanted prices to go down. You know, that's that's that's the saying. A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit beneath. Another way to put it is there's short term gain gains and there's long term gains. The moves Trump is making right now are for long term gains.

Now, of course, it is true. There's going to be short term pain. NPR reporting global stocks slide as Trump imposes tariffs on imports. I'm going to tell you about our good friend Alex Jones. Shout out to Alex. He's gotten fit and in shape. He looks amazing. Alex, incredible work. It's really inspiring to see him getting fit, looking better than ever. And I really mean it. I respect it tremendously.

And I remember listening to Alex Jones a long time ago as he talked about one world government, one world currencies and the plans of powerful elites around the world and how they would implement such a thing. Now, for me, I'm not going to sit here and tell you I believe all of it's guaranteed 100 percent true that there's this plan for a one world singular authority or whatever. I mean, there is to a certain degree.

But not like there's an Illuminati cabal controlling the world being like, one more step and we'll own the world. Nothing like that. Nothing like Ozymandias.

But it is powerful billionaires consolidating power and its dominoes falling over. And so one group of ultra wealthy people say, hey, we want these agreements between these countries. It'll dramatically improve our position. Free trade is good for my business because I can work with cheaper laws in China or Mexico. And then we can sell back to America. And they don't they don't do it like they're not saying to themselves, we will extract and destroy the American economy. That's what they're doing, because we need work to have a workforce so that work can be done.

When I go to a restaurant, I want service. I need someone who's there who can make a living, who can provide me a service. I need a plumber. I need goods. Their idea was, let's have it done by Mexico for cheap slave labor. This is what the Democrats argue. They're like, if you deport the illegal immigrants, then who's going to take care of picking the crops?

Who's going to take care of mowing our logs? And it's like, so you're basically arguing for a slave class that have no rights? Seriously, they want illegal immigrants. It's funny they admit this. They want illegal immigrants to come into this country who have no rights. They can't file complaints. They can't do much.

but they work for under minimum wage so they can do these menial tasks. OK, well, I got good news for you. To all the Democrats wondering where are we going to hire these people once they once they once all deported? I hear a bunch of FBI agents and his attorneys and DEI coaches are now looking for work. So job openings available. Now, first, let me say this. Culturally, best move imaginable. I've talked about this quite a bit. Let me explain in personal terms why I don't like free trade.

Skateboarding is a passion. It is part of my life. We've got skateboards behind me. You can see it all. And I know many of you don't care. Don't care about skateboarding. Good. Don't care about it. But understand what I'm actually saying is American industry. This American industry developed and invented in America became becoming a massive multibillion dollar sport and Olympic activity started here in the United States.

Because we were a great nation. We were exploring. We were developing. We made new things. It is now an Olympic sport. A lot of money being made. A lot of interest around the world, especially in Asia. A company started and they made skateboards. And experiments were done on the shapes of the boards. And again, don't worry about skateboarding. Worry about the industry. Woodworkers. And those woodworkers showed their kids the things they made.

The company would have demos to market their products in their communities. They put up flyers saying, come to the park. We're doing a demo. That's what they call them, demos. And people would show up and parents would say, let's bring the kids. It sounds like a fun thing in the park, this new toy they got. And this would build interest and it created a community and a culture. All of a sudden, everybody was skateboarding. The sport developed, became popular. More people got involved. And through the promotional efforts of these companies in the United States, bang,

You got a massive industry, something I deeply care about and I'm passionate about and enjoy. It's fun. It's a tradition. It's our culture. Free trade comes along. Someone says, hey, China can make these boards for 20% of the cost. Really? That's right.

Slave labor and no environmental regulations. Well, then the local shops that used to make these boards go out of business. The men don't have jobs. The men don't show their kids. The companies don't put on demos and people stop skateboarding in the short term. These companies that shifted production to Mexico or China said we're going to make more money.

And so those people at the top increase their margins and they bought nice houses and they bought nice cars. But 10 years later, nobody would buy their product because there's no culture anymore. So we don't want to send our jobs overseas because jobs are connected, are connected completely to our culture. That's why I am all for what Trump is doing with these tariffs. This is going to be amazing with these tariffs on China, because

I've told the story when we said we were going to start making skateboards. We got asked, you want to do China or America? I said America. And they're like, Chinese boards are cheaper and they're good. And guess what? They're really good. They really are. They said, well, we know what you said, but here's samples. And I said, bro, I'm not buying Chinese boards. I am not buying Chinese. It's not a question about it. So we here's what we do.

booneyshq.com. We got skateboards, of course. I'm very proud. And we make our boards in America. They are constructed, printed all in America.

And we sell them 15 bucks cheaper than the pro companies that make in China. And here's the best part. We give the highest royalties in the industry. As far as I know, I'm pretty sure the average royalty per board for a rider is one or two dollars. We do 15, 15 bucks. Maybe we're crazy. I don't know. The point is the game we're playing is not maximize profits and buy myself a Ferrari. I don't care about that. I don't need a house in the hills, whatever.

I need skateboarding. If someone said, you know, someone said, Tim, you had a million dollars, you woke up a million dollars in the bank clean, you can spend on whatever you want. I'm not going to buy an infinity pool or a Ferrari. I'm going to be like, let's bring a bunch of skateboarders and let's let's build more boards, build skateboarding. I want to buy an expansion of the things that I care about. Apple pie, baseball and Christmas morning. Let me let me let me make sure I tell you about this man, Alex Jones. This is interesting stuff. It's back in like 2008.

He was talking about the Amero, a North American currency that had been floated. There's a conspiracy theory. There were images circulating and nobody knew if it was actually going to happen or not. The idea, as purported, was that Canada, America and Mexico would have a shared currency, just like Europe does. And it would create a North American economic bloc. So that means if you went to Canada, you'd use the same money. If you went to Mexico, you'd use the same money.

However, in order to implement something like that, you need to normalize the economies of the three states, the countries, you know what I mean, though. And so with with the United States being the highest, then Canada and Mexico, what you'd have to do is lower the United States and raise up Mexico to the mid level. And it would change a little bit for everybody. This meant send American jobs to Mexico, free trade with Canada. Then we saw

From in the 2000s, it was like a dollar to four US to CAD. So one US dollar was like four Canadian. My Canadian friends were like, we made tons of money when Americans came in and we and we were a service economy. Tourism. Now it's a dollar forty dollar forty six. Same thing with Mexican peso. It started to normalize the goal being we want Canada, Mexico and America to have a very comparable economy.

So they can normalize an economic block. That doesn't mean they're going to make an Amero. But Alex Jones was talking about this, saying you are going to see moves made by the government to extract our jobs and our economy to other countries so that it will lower us and lift them up so that they equalize to create an economic block. And sure enough, that's exactly what was happening. Why should the United States sacrifice everything that was built so that another country that wouldn't build it improves?

Call it whatever you want, but this is a globalist mentality. The idea that the United States is just an economic region and doesn't matter what its people are or its culture are.

These people who try to implement this are morons because culture matters. Morality matters. You watch these videos that come out of the Middle East. And with all due respect, I don't I don't care for their laws. You steal. They chop your hands off. OK, I certainly can respect coming down hard on thieves like they don't do in California, but cutting their hands off. Guys, that's going to create you take someone out of the market. OK, you need productivity. There's better ways of dealing with it.

We don't want to live in that world. Culture matters. And so when they talk about normalizing economic blocks, I'm like, no, we want American moral clarity. Look what's happened to this country. People aren't having families anymore. Nobody's having kids. They just opened the border. It is an extraction of corruption. This plan did not work. Ro Khanna said it at the left was wrong. This globalist multicultural dream didn't work and it gutted the working class and it ruined people's lives.

I agree. And so here we are, my friends. Donald Trump knows in the short term this may cause pain. But you know what? Let me put it this way. There are some people that get their paychecks and they say, you know what, man, I just want to go out and enjoy myself. And so even though their paycheck was only a thousand bucks and they got to pay the bills, they say, I'm going to the bar and I'm having drinks and I'm getting a cheeseburger with the Super King fries, extra garlic, aioli, all the fixings. I'm spending a hundred bucks this Friday night.

And then there are people who say, I'll go hang out at the bar with you and I'll have a club soda, but I ain't spending any money. And they put that hundred bucks away. Now, who's having fun? Obviously, the person who's spending for the short term enjoyment. And I'm not saying it's all bad. Sometimes you really want to do that. Everybody should. That's your holiday. That's your vacation. But your long term investments need to outweigh your short term investments. And for too long, this country is heavily focused on short term.

Donald Trump says, no, it's time to be a responsible, hardworking country, which means short term economic pain, long term economic gain, baby. Let's go. And cultural reinforcement. Now, I believe in Trump. Elon Musk and Trump going after the deep state, gutting them. This is tremendous stuff, my friends. We are going to have a heck of a morning with all the news talk about the gutting of USAID, the corruption. Man, it's getting crazy out there. But I want to give a shout out to my boy, Donald Trump.

Talk about amazing leadership. I am so excited for this. And I've personally taken a hit, but I don't care, man, because I believe that in all conflict, we must sacrifice for the greater good. And so I'm hoping that Trump's moves here will get us better deals, will get us a better economy, will bring our jobs back, will bring back the American dream as we all believe in it.

Smash that like button, share the show with everyone, you know, become a member at TimCast.com. Thanks for hanging out. Next segment's coming up at noon and we will see you all then. There are many stories over the past week about Donald Trump's efforts to dismantle the deep state, as it were, but none so consequential as the shuttering of USAID. Now, for anybody who doesn't know much about politics, you hear the phrase USAID.

And what is the implication? Well, it's it's it's a program the United States has to assist and provide aid. See, the Wall Street Journal says foreign assistance agency. There's no aid in USAID.

It is international development. And what does that mean? Well, largely, it's a way to way to funnel money into activist organizations. And the accusation then being that if you're an activist entity operating in some foreign country with some aims that benefit the United States, you need only give a kickback to prominent U.S. politicians through donations from your entity.

As as it goes, the accusations are the allegations and we'll pull up a lot of a lot of the sources on this stuff. The the U.S. government will provide funding to USAID, USAID, and they will then give grants. A grant will then say go to the democracy, whatever. Right. I don't want to name anybody because a lot of them named like partnership and institute.

And then when you receive all this money, you can make donations to certain PACs and certain organizations that will benefit or, you know, help some politician get elected. In fact, in a conversation with Elon Musk, Joni Ernst said that when she tried looking into USAID, she was threatened with being removed or primary or, you know, losing her election.

Now, Donald Trump has fired a bunch of FBI agents. He's fired a bunch of U.S. attorneys. And I do I do want to talk all about that. But this move is happening this morning and it is insane what is being uncovered. Let me just stress right now with this story. And you know why this is difficult? Excuse me. I know many of you may be saying, I don't know what USAID is. And so when I'm making thumbnails, you know, you want to make sure you've got something recognizable, impactful that people can understand.

And and what do we have here? What is this? The Trump admin closes USAID. What does that mean? Ladies and gentlemen, we could be looking at the end of a massive global CIA conspiracy all about to be exposed. The story is that Elon went in. They told all of the USAID people, all the staffers work from home. This is wild. As Elon Musk goes into these offices, the funny thing is, apparently, because most of these people are working remotely already.

He walks right in. Computers are easily accessible and they are uncovering some dirt. This is revolutionary. This is indescribable. Now, there are some other stories about feds and FBI agents plotting to counter the

In some way, and that'll be interesting, but I'll save that for the next segment. The first thing I want to do is show you what's going on with USAID and give you examples of why this is so massive from Elon Musk and from Mike Pence. Before we get started, of course, head over to castbrew.com. The purchase of coffee fuels are calling out of the deep state.

Ian sold all his coffee. We do have Stand Your Grounds, which is a favorite, one of the favorites. It's a medium roast. It's very delicious. I recommend—here's the secret—

You got to go in. You got to scroll down. There it is. Focus with Mr. Bocas. Rest in peace. Our espresso blend. Dark roast. There you go. You get a cute little picture of a cat when you buy the bag. Also head over to TimCast.com. Become a member to support the show. The Green Room is back. We had Inspiring Philosophy discussing Jordan Peterson, Islam, and while they were filming...

The Philly plane crash happened, and so it's a pretty wild episode of the Green Room show. But this is behind-the-scenes content here at TimCast, talking with our guests. As a member, you're supporting all of the work we do, so we are getting that content to you. Let's start here. Wall Street Journal. They say, The U.S. Agency for International Development closed its headquarters to agency personnel on Monday following moves by Elon Musk's Doge to exert control over the foreign aid organization.

An email to USAID personnel said that the move was taken by agency leadership. The message said that replies should be directed to an email address that appeared to be associated with Gavin Kleiger, whose LinkedIn profile identifies him as a special advisor to the director of Office of Personnel Management who works for Doge. Wow. At the direction of the agency leadership, the USAID headquarters at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., will be closed to agency personnel on Monday, February 3rd, 2025. Kleiger and Doge didn't respond to a comment.

They say the attack on USAID, an independent organization codified into law at the encouragement of the world's richest man, raises questions about whether Doge will follow a similar blueprint to close other agencies. I'd like to point out many people are highlighting USAID was created by executive order by Kennedy. So no one's really being swayed by this. It's a coup, said a current USAID official. It was unclear when, if ever, the agency would be up and running again.

Musk said earlier Monday that Trump agreed with him that USAID should be closed, telling a live audience on his social media site X that he went over it with him in detail. We agreed we should shut it down.

The accusations basically floating around USAID. USAID is a CIA front for revolution and soft coups in foreign countries to align them with U.S. interests. And it's used to funnel money to elect deep state bureaucrat cronies. The reason why we have a uniparty shill government, because they're all propped up by this invisible money. The U.S. government has unlimited coffers.

Money flows through USAID into various different foundations. That money flows back to fund election campaigns for those that are marching in lockstep with the deep state. And as it goes, and I'm saying these are allegations. I don't know. You know, we'll see what happens. We may get a ton of really, really weird information coming out of this. You thought the Twitter files were bad. Wait till you see the USAID files. Now, you may be saying, well, what is this all about? Let's throw it to our good friends, Mike Benz.

Why was USAID funding the production of heroin in Afghanistan? Huh. What's this story? Fed's U.S. taxpayer funds helping irrigate, fertilize Afghan opium funding in Taliban. Hmm. American taxpayer money has funded irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizers to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan, mainly by benefiting Taliban narco jihadists, U.S. officials found. Now, is that what was really going on? What was that?

Now, I'm not saying I know for sure. OK, I don't know. Just he's linked to a story. Here's another one. Why is USAID's network partner, the U.S. Institute of Peace, lobbying the Taliban to keep 95% of the world's heroin supply flowing while taking $56 million from the taxpayers every year? How strange.

Here's another one from Mike. Why did USAID pay $20 million to hit peace journalists to dig up dirt on Rudy Giuliani and use that dirt as the basis to impeach the sitting president in 2019? What? They say the work of OCCRP, often in collaboration with other newsrooms around the world, has been deeply impressive journalistically at times, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.

At the bottom, it says OCCRP is reporting on Rudy Giuliani's political work in Ukraine was cited four times in the whistleblower letter that led to President Trump's impeachment. USAID. And it says strength, strengthening the transparency and accountability through investigative reporting program, foster investigative outlets, organizational and financial viability. And they're providing 20 million dollars to their partner, the OCCRP.

There it is right there. These sources show USAID giving money to the OCCRP. It's the Organized Crimes and Corruption Reporting Project, which then dig up dirt on Giuliani and was used against Donald Trump. You show that one to Trump and Trump's going to be like out. But why is this happening? Shouldn't this be a practice of the people? Why is USAID through congressional funding providing money to dig up dirt on a sitting president?

That's very strange. Now, I know it says Giuliani, but it was used against Donald Trump. But there's more. Here we go. Mike Ben says, actually, Aesthetica says, why is USAID giving millions of dollars to Bill Kristol? Bill Kristol tweeted, the deep state is far preferable to the Trump state, is it? One guy says, hello, Mr. Kristol. For you, the deep state is preferable because you are listed as the president of defending democracy, which is an indirect beneficiary of USAID through Rockefeller philanthropy advisors. You are exposed.

OK, Mike Ben says what you will clearly find as you enter the amazing USAID vortex of despair is that virtually every powerful political and financial motor of American society that promotes and lobbies for USAID is either directly on USAID's payroll, works at a place that is or his or her donors do. Indeed. Here's more.

Mike Ben says, case in point. Actually, I'm sorry. Here's the first one. OK, he responded. He says, case in point, AOC promoting USAID all over X today actually came from a USAID program in college to jumpstart her miracle political career.

Let's take a look at this. AOC tweets, this is a five alarm fire. The people elected Trump to be president, not Musk. Having an unelected billionaire with his own foreign debts and motives rating U.S. classified information is a grave threat to national security. This should not be a partisan issue. She's commenting on a tweet about USAID security chiefs on leave after trying to prevent Musk's doge from accessing classified material. We then have this.

Her trip to Niger was through the Niamey International Development Program funded by USAID. And what do you know? Shortly after she left, there was a Western-backed coup that overthrew Niger's government. AOC, a junior in college arts and science, went to Niamey to study abroad and was confident in the safety of students studying in Niger. Nigerians are overwhelmingly peaceful people, even with political instability hung in the air, yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah. We get the point. We get the point.

Community placement. It says you won't marvel at Nigerian life from afar. You will take part in it. One of your required classes is actually a volunteer placement in the community. Nonprofit, dedicated democracy building, etc., etc. Once again, just a lot of accusations. That's why I'm saying what we will see from these files will be revealing for now.

You know, we'll see. But we do have this clip from Joe Rogan, Mike Benz breaking down how you can better understand this. The State Department, USAID, and the National Endowment for Democracy. Now, USAID is...

You know, a very notorious, it's sort of a switch player. There's no aid in USAID, by the way. That's your brain is being tricked when you see the phrase USAID. It's not an aid organization. The aid in USAID stands for agent U.S. Agency for International Development. It is developing aid.

internationally, around the world, all of the institutions that the State Department needs to use. So when they are capacity-building activist groups in a foreign country, that's because the State Department wants those activists there. Now, USAID, for the first time in its history, it was created in the early 1960s by JFK, 1961. It was created because you had all of this

intelligence, statecraft, and military support and logistical aid that was tripping over itself, basically. The military would be funding, you know, would be running aid to certain groups in the region. The State Department would be running aid to certain groups in the region. The Intelligence Committee would, and there was no way, there was no sort of central coordinator of those

Of those capacity building operations. USAID, by the way, is a $50 billion budget. The entirety of the intelligence community is only $72 billion. So it is more than the CIA and more than the State Department. And aid is basically – USAID is effectively a switch player to assist the Pentagon with –

on the national security front to assist the State Department on the national interest front or to assist the intelligence community on a on a sort of clandestine operations front. So with all that being said.

Yeah. Elon Musk tarting USAID. It's about to get spicy. And I don't expect them to release any kind of classified information or anything like that. But we are going to get a lot more out of this. It's going to be absolutely massive. Now, RFK Jr. has stepped into the fray. And we have this clip where he was talking with Tucker Carlson. And I'll play this for you now. You can hear it from RFK Jr. 2014.

There are riots in, it's called the Medellin rebellion in Ukraine, which we're not told that we are financing those riots. The newspapers never told us, our government never told us. USAID, which is a CIA front, put $5 billion into funding those riots. Those riots lead to a coup d'etat against the first elected, democratically elected government of the Ukraine.

It was a government that refused to choose sides and to say, we're going to be on the side of the West. So we wanted them out. A month before that government is overthrown, Victoria Nuland, who's part of the centerpiece of the neocon ideology and who is now a high level official in the State Department, has a secret call with the U.S. ambassador, which is tape recorded and is now public, which anybody can go and look up.

where she is picking the new cabinet for the Ukraine, which for Ukraine, which is, you know, which is a U.S. Western cabinet. So they're picking the new government a month before the old government is overthrown. Is that how democracy is that democracy? Victoria Nuland picks her government. That's the point is USAID doesn't really do.

And the CIA don't do democracy. You know, the CIA has overthrown, I think, 83 governments between 1947 and 1997. That's a third of the governments on Earth. And most of them were democracies. Oh, it doesn't do. It doesn't do democracy. Wow. So what did he say? He said the CIA, the CIA did this overthrowing all of these different countries. Now, I thought I had that Elon Musk clip pulled up. Where is it at? Here we are right here.

Elon Musk on USAID threatening Senator Joni Ernst. It's outrageous that a taxpayer funded organization would threaten a U.S. senator. Let me play the clip for you. Listen to this.

Oh, Elon, you have been on USAID. You have really. And so that's the one that's missed for sure. This was another one of my efforts. And this began years ago when we were trying to figure out what they were doing with our American taxpayer dollars that were going to support humanitarian efforts in

Ukraine. So I wanted to know exactly how those dollars were being spent. Right. A reasonable request. Yes. Oh, my gosh. And I shared this with you earlier, Ilan, just privately, but we got all kinds of threats from USAID because I was trying to exercise my oversight capacity in Congress. Right.

So that's that's just shocking. I mean, it's how I mean, honestly, it's outrageous that a taxpayer funded organization would threaten a U.S. senator who is simply trying to figure out if American taxpayer money is being spent correctly and not fraudulently. Yes, indeed. My friends, the rabbit hole runs deep.

So there are many mechanisms by which the CIA, the deep state, powerful global interests and NATO, et cetera, Western forces seek to implement dominance on this planet. But you know what? As I've explained it time and time again, I'll state it again. They say that wealth lasts three generations. And I think we see it here. Maybe that's why empires only last a certain amount of time. Who knows? But the idea is that a man works hard or a woman.

and they figure out how to run a business and they make a lot of money. They have kids. Those kids watch their parents work and get a job in the business and can do high-level work. But they don't have the same gumption and work ethic that was developed by their parents. Something in the life of that parent, that man, that woman who becomes successful drove them to be that successful. Their kids don't have it. But the kids can maintain their

Now, those kids have kids, the grandkids of the original founder. And those kids can't maintain. And so they begin to wind things down. And they say wealth lasts three generations. There are certainly some families that have maintained wealth for much, much, much longer than that. Sure. But on average, that tends to be what it is. I think this is true of the deep state as well. After World War II, there was an effort, the liberal economic order, it was called. I am not making this like this is really, you know, let me just...

I'm going to pull it up because a lot of people don't want to believe it. The liberal international order or the liberal world order. Let's what is this? The CFR. Should we pull up the CFR? What is the liberal world order?

This thing is simply just pulled up from the Council on Foreign Relations. It's a liberal economic order or the liberal international order or the liberal world order. And the idea was after World War II, there would basically be a degree of global control to prevent the next war. This meant that our interests must be paramount, but our interests can get muddied. And so in the late 80s, I think it might have been late 80s, maybe 89 or 90,

George H.W. Bush was giving a speech where he was talking about the changeover from the liberal world order to a new world order. He wasn't like a new world order became this buzz phrase that was called a conspiracy theory. And it's really strange because he literally said it and it wasn't a proper noun. He was saying there's the liberal world order, but soon we'll have a new one, a world order that is new effectively.

And that is what we are looking at over the past couple of decades that is being dismantled now after its failures by Donald Trump and now Elon Musk. What we are witnessing is a revolution, a global one. And of course, there's gonna be a lot of angry people. The tariffs on China, Mexico, Canada, I think are very important. And you can see that they are freaking out. Why should we do labor for them? They're not America.

If they want to benefit off of our hard work and our development and our success, then it's got to be reciprocity. And thus begins these trade wars. But we'll see, my friends. There's a lot more going on than just this. Feds right now are plotting their revenge. So we'll jump to that story for the next segment. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. This is where it gets interesting. Reports that FBI agents want to protest.

Trump's firing any Fed that was involved in the J6 investigations, which is like thousands. And so be it. These people were engaged in a political witch hunt against people for supporting Donald Trump. They were engaged in an attack on our democracy, trying to put the front runner in prison. And at the state level, too, there must be accountability.

So, my friends, as I said, follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. Become a member over at Timcast.com. Casper Coffee, of course. And really do appreciate all your support. We're back. I'm back. I'll be back, of course, hosting IRL tonight. Next segment's coming up in about an hour. Don't miss it. And we'll see you all then.

Last week, Donald Trump instructed the termination of FBI agents involved in the January 6th prosecutions, as well as a bunch of U.S. attorneys who targeted him. Boy, are Democrats freaking out. But the news right now is that behind the scenes, FBI agents are planning protests, trying to undermine the efforts of the new administration, thus literally proving the deep state. You see, here's the thing, my friends. Donald Trump's president.

He is the head of the executive branch. That means he can direct executive agencies to act as he is their boss. These people serve at the pleasure of the president. Now, it is hard to fire government employees because they do have unions, legal protections. There's many things that can't be done.

But either way, Donald Trump can say, look for cause you are being terminated. And I think as it pertains to January 6th and Trump himself, he has great cause. It actually makes a lot of sense. There's a leaked memo where Trump basically said, we do not believe you can faithfully serve this department without bias because of the actions you've taken. And that's fair. You raided his home.

Man, I mean, that is that is an affront. OK, they tried to stage a soft coup. They were trying to put Donald Trump in prison. They still are, sort of. But he's the president now. Well, Elon Musk is threatening to fire federal employees who leak information during the Doge purge. The billionaire responded to a Reddit post claiming his minions are using a specific tactic to identify leakers. Indeed, he is. And they can't do anything about it.

They can try, but they can't. Elon's got some special techniques. They're not very complicated, and they're hard to mitigate if you are a leaker. We call this, of course, coloring the water. The example is, or I should say this is the analogy. You have three glasses of water on a table. Beneath all three glasses is a puddle of water. Certainly one of those glasses is leaking. How do you figure out which one it is? You put a different colored dye in each glass.

And whatever color the water on the table turns, you know which glass is your leaker. That is, you leak selective information in certain ways to various individuals. And whichever information goes public, you can isolate it. You can do it as a sorting algorithm or you do it more directly. But there is nothing they can do to stop it. Now, my friends, they're planning protests.

Some employees were physically removed for refusing to be fired. Amazing. Claiming you can't do this. It's unconstitutional. It's all legal. But what other people don't realize is that much of how the U.S. government operates has been ad hoc and just assumed. And Donald Trump, as the head of the executive branch, can just do these things. It's funny, right? Gulf of America, as it were.

Let's take a look at what the FBI is trying to do as they resist these efforts. Before we get started, head over to castbrew.com.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Green Room, we had Inspiring Philosophy, a bunch more. Don't forget. So we're bringing these back. They shouldn't have gone anywhere, but they're back. And we're hanging out with Inspiring Philosophy talking about Jordan Peterson. And we got a bunch of new members only behind the scenes content with our Green Room show. So definitely don't miss it. And of course, boonieshq.com, pick up some boards. Let's take a look at where this all begins, my friends.

From Fox News, DOJ directs FBI to fire eight top officials, identify employees involved in January 6 and Hamas cases for review. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove sent a memo to acting FBI director Friday evening. Well, I believe I have the let me see if I can figure where we got this, the leaked memo, as it were.

Officer Liu posted this, and it's now been circulated by a ton of different people. I believe it's confirmed. Acting FBI Director Driscoll has acknowledged in a leaked internal memo that a significant portion of the FBI was involved in investigating Trump and his supporters, stating, We understand this encompasses thousands of employees, but let me pause. Let me read the full statement. From the Office of the Director, colleagues.

We understand there's a lot of media reporting and rumors surrounding potential changes at the FBI. This includes reporting and rumors about actions that very seriously impact our workforce. Consistent with our commitment to share information with you as we receive it, Acting Deputy Director Kassane and I wanted to provide you an update. Late this afternoon, I received a memo from the Acting Deputy Attorney General notifying me that eight senior FBI executives are to be terminated by specific dates unless these employees have retired beforehand.

I've been personally in touch with each of these impacted employees.

The memo also directs me to provide by noon on Tuesday, February 4th, the following quote, all current and former FBI personnel assigned at any time to investigations and or prosecutions relating to one events that occurred at or near the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 and to U.S. v. Hania at all 24 mag 438 SDNY. These lists should include relevant supervisory personnel in FBI regional offices and field divisions, as well as FBI headquarters.

For each employee included in the list, provide the current title, office to which the person is assigned, role in the investigation or prosecution, and date of last activity relating to the investigation or prosecution. Upon timely receipt of the requested, let's see, upon timely receipt of

Where do we jump off? All right, let's jump here. For each employee included in the list, provide investigation. Upon timely receipt of the requested information, the Office of the Deputy Attorney General will commence a review process to determine whether any additional personal actions are necessary. We understand that this request encompasses thousands of employees across the country who have supported these investigative efforts. I am one of those employees, as is Acting Deputy Director Kassane. The

As we've said since the moment we agree to take on those roles, we're going to follow the law, follow FBI policy and do what is in the best interest of the workforce and the American people. Always. We will be back in touch with more information as soon as we can. In the meantime, stay safe. Take care of each other. Well, my friends, they are losing it. Now, here's the thing. The termination of these employees is at Trump's discretion, but they're not taking it lightly. Take a look at someone we got.

Jack Masobic tweeting from Fed News. Federal workers actively standing there declaring war on the Trump admin from within the government. In this post saying to my fellow feds, especially veterans, we're at war. We watched this goon try to overthrow the government on live TV four years ago. Now we're witnessing him to try to overthrow it from within. Let me pause and just say he got elected. Popular vote. Cry more. If we leave, we will be replaced by loyalists.

Uh, yeah. Could you imagine trying to run a business with people who are disloyal to your company? That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. Read P 2025, and for the love of God, please believe what is written, because that is what is happening. All the executive orders are directly from that document. I didn't dedicate years of my life serving this great country to be bullied into quitting my career by a bunch of fascists. Cry more, you communist scumbags.

We are being led by the same types of people our grandparents fought against in World War II. Actually, you're not. You are the people that we fought against. They don't care about us, regardless of the fact that one third of us are veterans and many are military family members. They don't care about your kids, your homes, your bills, your livelihood. They don't care that you're an American citizen. No, they care that you're corrupt. You see, you are a corrupt person and you don't deserve to just have a job. They don't care that annual spending on us is only 4% and won't make a difference if we're gone.

And what will make a difference is the corruption will be gone. They don't care that we're middle and lower class employees. They want to harm you. No, they want you to stop harming everyone else. Do not give into this nonsense. Remember your oath, the Constitution, the people of America. I don't know what the future holds, but I refuse to bow down to the fascist authoritarian elite class. Nobody is coming to save us. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Is there there's more to the post, but we then have this.

From Ross Alerts, FBI agents are reportedly in panic mode and are planning a protest in D.C.,

According to reports, FBI agents in D.C. are reportedly in a state of panic and as a protest organized by current and former employees is being planned for Monday at both of the Washington field office headquarters, both the Washington field office and headquarters. The protest is a direct response to acting FBI Director Driscoll's refusal to comply with an order demanding the disclosure of names of FBI employees involved in J6 cases. It's bad news. What I've heard suggested that

Is that Trump simply issue a questionnaire to all staff that they comply and fill out a form as to whether or not they were involved in any cases pertaining instead of having the director do it, have each individual do it. And if they don't fire them for insubordination.

That's it. And you know, what's funny is they may go, I am Spartacus. No, I am Spartacus. And Trump can be like, well, Spartacus is fired by. And you want to stand up and say, I'm not going to fill this out because I will stand with my compatriots. And then Trump will just be like, OK, you're fired, too. Do you think we want to keep all of you corrupt scumbags on the job? Let me just stress, if you're in the FBI.

And they told you that they were going to raid the front runner for the presidential election's home. Well, you're complicit. That's it. Goodbye. You should not be working this job. Joe Biden had classified documents all over the place. Did they go after him? No. I wonder why. Because you are corrupt. And if you sat back and watched it happen, you should also be fired. Maybe there are some good people who resisted. And that's and those are who should stay. But spare me.

Here we go. This is the big this is what Elon Musk was referring to at the OPSEC reminder use of fingerprinting on emails and notices. Please share. We've received word that Elon Musk staffers are using space characters to identify information leakers before sharing any information. Please use a checker to detect and remove these. Avoid directly leaking images. Instead, request the information be rewritten and the image recreated rather than sharing than shared directly from the source.

This is essentially an email watermark, adding a space here, making a typo there, and similar subtle changes to track leaks. Ah, my friends, you try, but alas, it will not work. In the practice of coloring the water, character markers, it's only one technique. Indeed. There's actually something else that's really easy, and that's just selective release of information or type of information.

So there's a bunch of different ways to do it, to control information, to see who's leaking. And it's actually quite easy. You see, here's the plan. They release an email that seems like a company wide email, right? But what they'll do is they will put an extra space somewhere in the email. And then there's a very famous story about this. I think Elon actually told the story.

One of the emails got leaked to the press and you could see there's an extra space, you know, in sentence 15. And they said that was sent to John Smith because every email was actually sent. They were identical except for one tiny change. So everyone got a unique email, but they thought it was company wide because all the emails looked the same.

There are other things you can do. It's actually really easy. And that is when giving out information, you make slight alterations in the phrasing. And so when they say recreate it, it's actually really simple. Take, for instance, this text. It says we received word that Elon Musk staffers. So what do you do? You release that and then you make another one. We received word that Elon Musk staff are using.

You get rid of the ERS. So it looks the same, but it's different. If they recreate it, you'll know which change in a word, but it gets better because other things you can do, too. As I described with coloring the water, you have you have three glasses and then you do red, yellow, green. The water turns yellow. You know, the yellow glass is a leak in it.

That's actually the more brute force method of coloring the water. You tell someone, keep it simple. You'd say something like, hey, we're gonna be putting in a bunch of chairs along the bar. So make sure you're here. You then go to someone else and say, hey, we're getting a bunch of stools for the bar. So make sure somebody is here. Delivery is coming.

Very similar information, but with a slight difference. And then what happens is, because there's varying degrees of this, employee might be like, hey, did Tim tell you they were having a delivery for chairs or whatever? Oh, yeah, he told me that. Like, OK. And then you hear somehow your stalker or some other company says Tim Pool ordered a bunch of stools for his bar. And you say, not definitively, but now we know the person we said stool to as opposed to chair or whatever word you want to use was this person.

There's also the sorting algorithm method. That is, you send a uniform email in blocks. First, you do, let's say you have 10,000 employees. You do 5,000 and 5,000. And they're almost completely identical in every way, except one says staff and one says staffers. Most people will not notice any of those differences.

Then when they copy it and they then post, here's what I got. Musk staff are going to be using space characters. You now know sorting algorithm section A. You can eliminate everyone in section B and say it likely came from here. Likely. You do that 10 times. You figure out who you've got. And then it comes down to sometimes you don't even leak. You don't even do a mass email. You can email the 10 people and see if any of those leak.

It's actually not super complicated, but it is increasingly difficult for anybody to try and figure out how to actually navigate this space. So, my friends, I warn you all if I should say not my friends, but the people in the I don't think the being facetious works here. I'll just walk that one back. But to my friends, the FBI, that was the joke. They're going to figure out who you are if you leave this stuff.

If you're corrupt, you're corrupt. Just leave. That's it. You want to go to war from within? They're saying they're going to. Well, good luck. I hope these people get arrested when they break the law. And I'm saying when they break the law, not just randomly. If you want to commit a seditious conspiracy against the government, by all means, you should go to jail for it. I mean, that's what they did to all those J6ers, right? So you don't disagree with me? I'll leave it there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, we got more segments coming up. Stay tuned and we will see you all at three.

Well, I can't say that I'm surprised Trump won on the Mexico tariff side already. Trump halts tariffs on Mexico as it rushes troops to the border. So this is breaking today. Donald Trump, of course, over the weekend announced there would be tariffs. China, Canada, Mexico, 25 percent. I'm all for it. Now, the smarter people in the room pointed out Trump is just doing the big ask.

He knows that he cannot maintain a trade war for too long. But there are a lot of positives in the long term if we bring jobs back to the United States. Trump's first priority, of course, is securing the southern border. American jobs for American workers. No more benefits to illegal immigrants. No more fake refugees. No more drug trafficking, child trafficking, etc.

So the Mexican president gets a phone, Donald Trump and agrees to rush 10,000 National Guard troops to the border to strengthen efforts to block the flow of drugs, especially fentanyl coming into the United States. And thus Donald Trump wins because the win win, you know, you got the long term play and the short term play and Trump nailed it.

So we got our good friend, liberal Krasenstein saying, OK, well, it's not a bad deal, but it's not going to do much. I'll cry more. Y'all were screaming. These Democrats were screaming, saying Trump's sabotaging the economy. You're going to pay more for avocados. And then, of course, here we are. Trump won. Here was the short term play, forcing Mexico to agree to terms to secure our border along with us. It's their border, too.

Long term play is fine. Then we're going to have to bring our manufacturing everything back to the United States. It's going to negatively impact workers in Mexico. Either way, we win. And here we are.

Here's a story from The Washington Post. The Trump admin has agreed to pause sweeping tariffs on Mexico for a month while the two sides hammer out an agreement on security and trade. President Claudia Scheinbaum announced Monday saying an axe in a good conversation with Trump. Mexico agreed to rush 10,000 National Guard troops to the border to strengthen efforts to block the flow of drugs, especially fentanyl coming into the United States. The U.S., Mexico, the United States pledged to work to avoid the trafficking of weapons to Mexico, she said.

Scheinbaum spoke two days after Trump slapped a 25 percent tariff on goods for Mexico and Canada, saying they have failed to stop the movement of illegal fentanyl and migrants over the U.S. border. The tariffs were set to go into effect Tuesday. The White House alleges that drug trafficking organizations have an intolerable alliance with the Mexican government. Over the weekend, it accused Mexican authorities of granting safe havens to the crime groups. Scheinbaum has angrily rejected such claims.

The U.S. and Mexico are each other's biggest trading partners, and Mexico is particularly dependent on income from cross-border commerce. More than 80% of its exports go to the U.S. The tariffs persist for months. Economists say Mexico is almost certain to suffer a recession. You know what, my friends? I love this. I tweeted the—you know what? Let me just pull up the tweet. Let me pull up the tweet for you, because then we'll talk about Israel, everyone's favorite subject.

Uh, here we go. Let me see if I can get that. Uh, here we are. Here we go. We got it. We got it. We're pulling it up. I said the extraction of the U.S. economy is over. If a country can't survive without U.S. subsidy or support, then they shouldn't. This goes for any and every country. Take a look at that. Two million views. Very big. A lot of views. A lot of people agree. We all agree.

Absolutely. The idea that Mexico and Canada can only exist because the majority of their exports are being sold to us, but our jobs are going to them. I do not agree. Hard work and culture are tied completely. And when we say we're going to give the manufacturing jobs to Canada and Mexico, what we're saying is over a long enough period of time, there will be no American worker to buy anything. It's a bad deal in the long term for everybody. So why do it?

Well, of course, there are reasons. We get avocados largely from Mexico, not all of them, but a lot of them. And so there's products that grow down there that we like to get. And that's fine. We can trade. And that's good because we like avocados. OK, and if we can't, there's some things that we can't do up here. Right. We don't have the same amount. You know, it's not we do have avocados. I'm not saying we don't.

But we have bigger supply if we do trade with different regions where different things are grown. I mean, we have coffee in Hawaii, but there's other kinds of coffee. They're good, right? So trade is good. Trade is good, but not at the expense of the U.S. worker. Now, I want to just stress the response from the Libertarian Party. Israel, too, right? And I'm just like, you people are morons. These people, I'm sorry. I hope you all get angry when I say this. All of the Israel derangement syndrome people, guys,

Israel is included in the phrase any and every country. But these people are so psychotically obsessed with Israel that when like I or Matt Wall say the exact same thing and Clint Russell and Josie, the right hand, let me take all of us in unison scream out. If you cannot survive without U.S. subsidy, you should not. They go, what about Israel? And you're like,

What did I just say? What world do you live in where this consistent opinion all of us have had the whole time? And then it's weird because these people are not like yet. But you said you support Israel. I'm like, what? Like as if being like a country exists and they can do they want has anything to do with what we do as our country. I also support Sudan. Congratulations, Sudan. You're a country.

Uh, how about, um, let's go for, uh, let's, let's, let's, what's a good, what's a good country we can pick? I'm trying to think of a good one. Uh, Uruguay, Uruguay, Uruguay, we call it in America. Uruguay. Uh, yeah. Uh, I support your Uruguay's right to exist as a country. Like they exist. They have borders by whatever. It has nothing to do with me, but these people are nuts. Anyway, I digress.

Well, all of these liberals were screaming that Trump's tariffs were bad and it's going to make everything. And here we are. Tariffs are on pause and Mexico is now picking up the slack to help secure our border. Take a look from at this tweet from our good friend Brian Krasenstein. This is breaking. Trump will hold off on Mexican tariffs as Mexico places 10,000 National Guard on border.

All right.

He says 90% of fentanyl seizures occur at U.S. ports of entry. Could it be that there aren't enough National Guard to stop the rest of it? Let's try this again. Let's say you have two doors and there is door one and door two and door two. The official port of entry has 50 cops standing right there.

And door one is wide open. And then we go, isn't it weird that 100 percent of all of the law enforcement is happening at the only place with law enforcement? And you're like, well, well, no, there's there's there's no guards at the other door. So people are just walking through. I do. I believe it is probably correct when you say that most of the federal coming in is coming through the border by American citizens. I agree. But that is not to say that there's not others to stop. And Trump is making Mexico pay for it.

You see how that works? So now they're going to have 25,000 troops on their border. That's Mexico paying for it. I love it. It's not a bad deal. That's right. So Canada is going to have to play ball next. And Trudeau is going to talk like this, like he's got he's got something jammed in his head. I'm not going to go there. But why does he talk like that? Calm down, guy. Canada is going to face a recession.

Because they want to play hardball, dude. When I was a kid, when I was younger, it was like one to four, like $1 was for Canadian. My Canadian friends were like, it was always great when Americans came to visit because they'd be spending money like crazy. They would tip like 10 bucks. That's like 40 Canadian. So it was easier for them to pay rent. Canadians told me life was better when the economy wasn't as good. No joke. There's a lot to consider there.

What they're basically saying is that food costs were a little bit higher, but Canada grows food and rent is comparable to your amount of income. So if an American came in and spent $100 or gave $100 tip and that was 400 Canadian, that's like two Americans paying their rent for the month. Now that the economy stabilized, doesn't really mean anything. Now it's like there's no big benefit.

Not everybody felt that way. I totally understand. But service sector employees were telling me that these days economies are comparable. But following these tariffs, they ain't going to be the case for long unless Trudeau wants to come to the negotiating table and give Trump what he wants. Bravo, Mr. President. Talk about bold governing.

Is this what it's like to have a real leader? It's kind of crazy, right? I'm going to wrap it up there, my friend. Smash that like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, we got more clips, more segments coming up. Next will be at 4 p.m. Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you all then.

But the terrifying reality is that these people are violent. They are dangerous and they are deranged. And while there's going to be a lot of people are going to go, ha, ha, ha, ha, the Antifa, they're vegans. They don't eat meat. They don't know what they're doing. It's like, man, let me it's like, man, let me tell you, these people are nuts and crazy. People are dangerous. You can be

A well-fed, smart, God-fearing Christian man, six foot three, chiseled, workout every day, feed your family of good moral standing. And one of these trans vegan terrorists can hit you with a car, right? You can mock them all day and night, but they have the ability to wield the tool the same as anybody else. And so I say this, we want to we want to mock and shame and all of these things.

But I do think it's important that we consider these insane people are still very, very, very dangerous. And as Trump begins his efforts, we have predicted such a thing may occur. Now, I've been saying there's a couple of ways to look at it. One is that there's a popular mandate. Trump has done so well that many of these people will just back down. They'll basically disappear. They don't have the masses anymore to shroud their endeavors.

Or as Trump begins to ramp things up, we are going to see a resurgence of far left violence and the resistance. I don't know for sure, but this is one of the craziest things we've heard in a long time. The Washington Times reports the Ziz cult has been blamed for a string of brutal slayings and mayhem across the U.S., including the fatal shooting of a border patrol agent in Vermont. Excuse me.

A nationwide manhunt is underway for Michael Zajko, a transgender non-binary person who police believe bought the semi-automatic weapons used by the two other trans people who fatally shot Border Patrol agent David Malland on January 20th during a traffic stop in Coventry, Vermont.

Several of the associates are in custody and are charged with violent crimes. Alleged leader Jack Ziz Lasoda, a vegan who goes by the name Andrea Phelps, is at large. They're faking his death to escape prosecution. Miss Zajko, who was connected to the group of in online posts, is also a person of interest in the killings of her parents in 2023 in connections with.

With the slayings of Vallejo, California, landowner Curtis Lind in all, the alleged cult is tied to a string of killings reminiscent of the murders carried out by Charles Manson's followers in the 1960s. In this case, Mr. Lasota is not charged in any of the killings. Some members of the Ziz group are charged with gravely injuring and later killing Lind.

They were accused of attacking him with a sword after he tried to evict them from squatting on his property. Lind, 82, fatally shot one of his assailants in self-defense. He lost an eye in the attack. And on January 17th, as he was poised to testify against his accused assailants, he was stabbed to death outside his home. Police arrested Maximilian Bentley Snyder, who has connections to the Zizians, and charged him with Lind's death. In court documents obtained by the AP, prosecutors said Lind was intentionally assassinated

intentionally killed for the purpose of preventing his testimony in a criminal proceeding. Although law enforcement made connections between many of the individuals, online social media influencer Andy Ngo, who has tracked Antifa and other antisocial groups,

Piece together the attacks more broadly. Last month, he helped tie the violence to Mr. Lasoda and his associates. Mr. Mr. No writing for The New York Post described Mr. Lasoda's group known as the Zizians as highly educated trans vegan rationalists who hold fringe esoteric ideological beliefs about transhumanism and animal rights.

Mr. Lasota was at the scene of Lynn's first attack and was squatting on Lynn's property, but police let him go even though he had skipped a court appearance on an unrelated charge. Police and court records show a pattern of violence among members associated with him. Felix Ophelia Buchholz and University of Washington student Teresa Milo Consuelo Youngblood, two trans people, fired at Mallon during a traffic stop, according to federal law enforcement. Buchholz

A German national in the U.S. on an expired visa was killed in the shootout with the Border Patrol agents. An FBI search of their Toyota Prius uncovered guns, ammo, and tactical gear, including a ballistic helmet, night vision equipment, and full-face respirators, according to an affidavit. Ms. Youngblood faces two federal charges related to assault with a deadly weapon. She is also connected to the death of Lynd.

Miss Youngblood, 21, Mr. Snyder, 22, who is charged with killing Lind applied for a marriage license in King County, Washington, on November 5th. County records show they are now facing decades, likely facing decades or life in prison on the separate murder charges. Mr. Snyder describes himself in his LinkedIn profile as a passionate scholar, data scientist and creator who attended Oxford University, sang in his high school choir, was a national merit scholarship finalist.

Mr. Lasoda, Mr. Lasoda's whereabouts are unknown. He was arrested in 2019 while protesting and barricading a workshop at the Berkeley by the Berkeley Bay Center for Applied Rationality. His mother and associates say he later died in a boating accident and produced an obituary. It wasn't was it faking his own death? Is that what it is? The Coast Guard conducted a search, but nobody was found. Police later made contact with Mr. Lasoda at the scene of Lynn's first attack, but he was not arrested or charged. A mistake.

Now, the interesting thing is why they call themselves Zizians. For those that aren't familiar, Ziz is a giant griffin-like bird in Jewish mythology said to be large enough to be able to block the sun with its wingspan. It is considered a giant animal monster corresponding to archetypal creatures. Rabbis have said that Ziz is comparable to the Persian Simurgh.

Well, modern scholars compare the Ziz to the Sumerian Anzu and the ancient Greek Phoenix. There's only one passing mention of the Ziz in the Bible found in Psalms 5011. Quote, I know all the birds of the mountains and Ziz Sede is mine. The boar from the forest ravages and Ziz Sede feeds on it. And these are often lost in translation from the Hebrew, being referred to in most English translations as ambiguous beasts.

Referred to as neither singular nor avian. Interesting. As Leviathan is the king of fishes, so the Ziz is appointed to rule over the birds. It's very interesting because there are three mythical creatures in the Bible. And that is not only three, but three. There may be three. There's the behemoth, the beast of the land, the Leviathan, the beast of the seas, and the Ziz, the beast of the skies. Just interesting stuff, by the way. I don't know.

But going back to the trans vegan terror cult, they're kind of birdlike, aren't they? You know, if I had to if I had to look, if I looked at Antifa and had to describe them lanky, gangly, you know, very birdlike. I don't know. Anyway, I digress. My friends, my fear, these kinds of things will ramp up substantially because Trump's actions are pronounced, to say the least.

What we are seeing in Trump's first two weeks is it's apocalyptic to the liberal world order, the deep state and to wokeness, the gutting of DEI, the termination of FBI agents. He the destruction of USAID. These efforts may mean that the Democrats, as we know it, will never win another election again. Now, now, now hold on for a second. The Republicans and Democrats are both bad.

But the Republicans run by the neocon establishment, that's over. When Trump won the first time, it was Paul Ryan. It was the neocon shill establishment that was no different. It was almost the same. There was the shill establishment and Trump. Well, he broke his way in. The neocons then joined forces with the Democrats so they can try and resist. And they've lost. The Democratic Party is now deeply unpopular, holding only a 31 percent favorability in the latest polls.

And Donald Trump is gutting the deep state. So I wonder, to what degree of resistance will we see the trans vegan terror cult? Well, it could just be a group of, I don't know, crackpot randos. I mean, they exist. Tons of different Antifa groups exist. Is it really something so substantive? I believe that as the cycle goes, you get a Republican president. The far left comes out in in massive numbers.

And so what we are seeing now with these immigration raids, the protests we just saw in L.A., there is a strong likelihood, in my opinion, that Antifa will rise up again. But there is a challenge for them. I do believe we will see a strong fringe element like this, violent and dangerous. However, they're not going to have the same mass appeal. When when Trump was running the first time, he was unpopular. Now his approval ratings through the roof.

So the question then becomes, will enough regular people join the fray to provide cover to the extremists? I'm not convinced. I believe we will see more extremists, but I'm not convinced they will have the mass numbers to obfuscate their activities. But we will see. Smash the like button.

And as of right now, Donald Trump is enjoying some of his best approval ever. The worst he's gotten aggregate right now over the past couple of weeks, the past week has been minus one, giving Trump an aggregate approval of plus four point six, the best approval rating he's ever had. And take a look at this. The New York Post says President Trump matches highest ever favorability rating in deep blue New York, according to a poll.

It's a new day, my friends. The Democratic Party is reeling, licking its wounds, as it were. People are quitting the party and Trump is doing better than ever. Mexico is caved. By the time you watch this video, I wouldn't be surprised if Canada has already caved. We are seeing some hilarious attempts to target conservatives, Elon Musk, over these tariffs. It won't work. It won't. What they don't understand, Trump isn't running for reelection. This is it.

He's got from now until the midterms to just go off and he's going to do it. His best opportunity right now for strong action, or I should say his best opportunity for strong action is right now. If Trump waits a year, he could get some GOP members scared that Trump's doing unpopular things and they could turn on him right now. As we see Trump's approval rating very high, as he's taking very heavy handed actions like tariffs.

This is when you'd expect his approval rating to be lower. But instead, it's up. He's not going to stop. Now, the crazy thing is they try to stop him. And I'm wondering to what degree they may pursue more. So my friends comment and let me know what you think, because this is one that I, you know, I like to make predictions. But my fear right now is how can they let Trump keep doing this? And by they, I mean the establishment, the Uniparty, the Democrats, the neocons, you know,

Trump firing FBI agents, getting rid of USAID. This is the complete dismantling of the deep state system. They can't just let it happen, can they? Or maybe we already won. And this is the wrecking ball tearing down the house. Let me know what you think. But let's read from the New York Post. Americans may not like the GDP, but they, I'm sorry. Well, they may not like the GDP too. Americans may not like the GOP, but they really don't like the Democratic Party. A new poll has found the party of Jefferson, Jackson, Kennedy, Clinton, Obama, and Biden

holds a 57% unfavorable rating among voters, according to Quinnipiac, a survey that was released Wednesday, while just 31% of voters say they had a favorable view.

The GOP, meanwhile, has a 43 percent favorability and a 45 percent unfavorability. The Democrats unfavorability rating is the highest since Quinnipiac pollsters began asking the question in 2008. Similarly, the percentage of voters viewing the GOP favorably is the highest over the same period. The brutal rating for Democrats comes to the party is looking at its wounds in the 2024 election cycle, which saw all 50 states move to the right.

So I want to give a shout out to my good friend Bill Maher. You know, look, Bill, you were right about so much. You were wrong about so much as well. But in the past couple of years, you have tried so hard to appear liberal that you are on the wrong side of history. And it's true for so many people. Cenk Uygur is now coming around. A lot of people start to realize that we were right.

Let me let me let me make it simple for you, my friends. As most of you know, I hail from the land of Chicago. I know I say quite a bit, don't I? My neighborhood voted for Trump. I want to say that one more time. My urban liberal neighborhood in Chicago voted for Donald Trump. It turned red. Makes sense. See, my interest was never in party allegiance or faction allegiance. I don't care when Trump defended TikTok. I said Trump was wrong. TikTok is bad.

I believe what I believe. And it just so happens that right now, reality has a right wing bias. That's it. That may change. The Democrats have gone nuts. I don't even know what they're trying to do at this point because they're doubling down on everything. They want to say that meanwhile, Trump's initial moves are enjoying widespread popularity with his dispatching of troops to the U.S. Mexico border, getting 60 percent approval from voters who responded.

However, voters also favor citizenship being automatically granted to children born in the U.S. by a margin of more than two to one. I don't believe it. As the Trump administration has sought to strip the right from kids of legal immigrants. How does it make sense that you're going to be like we have to secure the border because people are coming over? But if your kid is then had here, it's a citizen immediately. What? By a margin of 57 to 37 voters disapprove of Trump's suing pardon of roughly 1500 J6ers.

Though 74 percent of Republicans said they approved of that action. Well, that's an issue of knowledge. Knowledge. Although shout out to Cash Patel. He said the commutations for those that attacked cops was wrong and he wouldn't have done it. I say shout out to him for standing up for what he believes in. Even if he's saying he thinks what Trump is doing is wrong or what we think is wrong. I'll tell you why Cash is wrong. And maybe I'm misquoting. It's a misquote. Maybe it's manipulation from the hearings or whatever. But let me just stress this.

The people who attacked cops should go to jail. They did. They did. It's been years. It's been three years. How long should a person go to jail for for assaulting an officer? Six months to a year, depending on the severity? I mean, if the assaulting officer was like shooting at him, maybe you're going to get like two years. Like, that's serious. But shoving a cop? Oh, come on. Bro, if you're a cop and somebody shoves you, a lot of the time they probably don't even bother. They might just say resisting arrest.

Depending on the severity of the criminal and what they're going for, they might just say assault on an officer. And then you might get six months. So I'm serious. Don't hit cops. They're bad cops. Don't get me wrong. We all know it. We all see it. But don't hit cops. That's not the way you fight the system. So these J6ers that we're facing 10 years or whatever, or we're in for already three. Ah, dude, that's it. Commuting the sentence is fine. They're going to say that Americans take a dim view of Trump's desire to annex Greenland with 55% disapproving of the idea. Why? That's crazy.

The opinion is more divided on Panama, which, as you may have seen, Panama has recently agreed to ditch the Belt and Road Initiative. That's right. Winning on tariffs. Forty percent of voters believe levies and imports will harm this economy. They're not wrong. Well, 42 percent anticipate they will be in a positive one poll found. They're not wrong in the short term. So I saw a tweet.

And they were saying that how come all the Trump supporters were cheering on the tariff thing is the right move. But now that Mexico's back down, they're cheering on this move. You're going to support anything, bro. Do you understand nuance? I believe tariffs are good in the long term, but there is short term damage. So the issue is largely, as I've complained about free trade for a long time, we need to bring jobs back. How do you do it? Well, short term, Trump threatens tariffs. He implements them.

However, Trump's threat of tariffs was largely having to do with fentanyl and illegal border crossings. Mexico agreed to try and curb this. So Trump said, OK, we'll back off for one month. That's still a good thing. Trump is getting what he wants. We're allowed to recognize Trump just won using a negotiating tactic while still saying the tariffs would be good. So I can say I'd like the tariffs to remain, but I'll take a victory. But a lot of people don't want to. You know, they don't want to live in a world where it's possible that Trump could could actually have a win win situation.

It has to be that no matter what, Trump is wrong. Take a look at this one. I love this from New York mag. Trump approval rating looks fragile at start of second term. They can't help themselves. They could try something like Trump has highest approval rating in his political career. No, they cannot give Trump a single good day. Was it Jon Stewart who said that? That's how you know they're nuts. They couldn't give Trump one good day.

Who did say that? That wasn't Trump, was it? I'm sorry. That wasn't Jon Stewart. Somebody said that that when Trump takes out the head of ISIS, who was kidnapping and raping women, they called the guy an austere scholar and they criticized Trump. They could not give him one. Trump's approval rating is the best of his political career, and they cannot, cannot accept it. I'm curious, actually, I'm going to pull up civics.

And see if we can get the the current civics Trump favorability rating and take a look at this. His favorability rating is skyrocketing. Now, right now, in aggregate, it's still not that great. Fine. But it never was at 46, which is, I believe, the highest it's ever been on according to civics.

Civics has never had Trump this high in terms of favorability. That's amazing. Among 18 to 34 year olds, it has gone up to its highest point ever to 37 among 35 to 49. Same deal. The highest ever been at 41 Gen Xers. He is now above water, 51 percent favorable and above 65 plus. Same deal. Same deal. Here's a question. What do dudes think?

Dudes love Trump. 52 to 45. Ladies, I don't even need to see that one to know that women would not like Donald Trump. Now, non-college graduated like Trump. College graduates still improving. Postgraduates, they don't like Trump at all. You know, it's crazy, though. Across all demographics, Donald Trump has improved to his best position. Now, I should clarify in aggregate, he's he's he's his best position.

He has improved among all demographics and most. It's the best ever been. So they can't give him a good day, can they? Democrats are reeling. Trump is winning. Let's go, baby. Next segment's gonna be tonight at 8 p.m. over at youtube.com slash Timcast IRL. Don't miss it. It's gonna be fun. I'm finally back on the show. You see, I'm talking here. I'm talking. Even though I still have. So if you're wondering why I was gone for the week, the surgery went off without a hitch.

I can't even click. I can't even snap, man. Shout out to Dr. Siron Lee in D.C. It was amazing. And unfortunately for me, unforeseen to anybody, I had a reaction to the lidocaine, largely the epinephrine. And so that made it I couldn't talk, couldn't talk for a week. And I tried. I came out. Nope. Painkillers, nothing. Yeah. Reaction to lidocaine was bad.
