On this week's show, Nick Freitas joins us to talk about the growing problem of fake IDs, J.K. Rowling's hate speech in the UK, and why we should all vote on November 5th as a Christian Day of Visibility.
00:00:04.000Shadow campaign 2024 or perhaps nothing, but we don't know.
00:00:08.000Right now on X, there are a few viral posts highlighting that hundreds of thousands of people in key states like Texas and Arizona have registered to vote without IDs.
00:00:19.000The argument is that these are likely people who are granted social security numbers for work permitting reasons and then registered to vote because these numbers are massive and strange.
00:00:32.000Some people are pushing back a little bit, but considering the volatile nature of 2024, it's good to talk about these things early and see what we can come up with and figure out.
00:00:42.000Donald Trump is campaigning on Biden's border bloodbath, which is brilliant branding and marketing.
00:00:49.000And I saw one tweet where he said, November 5th will be Christian Day of Visibility, when Christians make themselves visible by voting overwhelmingly.
00:00:58.000Plus, big news, JK Rowling over in the UK, they passed this hate speech bill where if you post something that is likely to offend a marginalized group, whether intentional or not, They can arrest you.
00:01:11.000Rowling basically was like, I'm gonna go off!
00:01:13.000Started calling out a bunch of creepy individuals who have been criminally charged masquerading as trans, and the police were like, okay, okay, we're not gonna arrest J.K.
00:02:05.000But this is the final run because Mr. Bocas unfortunately has passed.
00:02:09.000And so, also realizing that people don't really want pumpkin spice out of season.
00:02:13.000We're going to make something different for Mr. Bocas, but support Casprew Coffee because it is our company, we sponsor ourselves, and you are helping us when you buy from Casprew to set up our physical location where we are going to have live events.
00:02:53.000And you'll get access to the Discord server, which is basically a chat room where you can hang out with like-minded individuals and building networking.
00:03:00.000Building a network and networking is the most important thing you can do in winning a culture war.
00:03:05.000Please consider joining TimCast.com and becoming a part of the Discord server.
00:03:08.000Don't forget to smash that like button.
00:05:48.000H-A-V-V, that's Help Assisting Voters Verification or something like that, allows voters to register with a social security number, four digits.
00:05:57.000Illegal immigrants are not able to get licenses there, but they can get social security cards for work authorization permits.
00:06:46.000That would imply of the 30,000 non-matches are people who tried to register with fake social security numbers.
00:06:52.000Or, for whatever reason, submitted a registration form with a Social Security number on it, and it got rejected by the Social Security Administration.
00:07:19.000Total number of verification requests where there is no match in our records on the name, last four digits of the social security number or date of birth.
00:08:39.000I'm not saying these numbers reflect Amish voter registration.
00:08:41.000The information above just serves to point to other ways people may register to vote.
00:08:45.000I have reached out to two congressmen about the issue.
00:08:48.000So before anybody jumps the gun, the first thing I want to point out is, There could be a regular, say, 30-year-old dude living in, you know, the outskirts of Austin, Republican, and he's like, I'm gonna register to vote, and they say, you can use your ID or your social security number.
00:09:03.000He's like, I'll use my social, it's easier.
00:09:04.000Last word, I gotta pull my ID, I gotta put all those numbers, I'll just do that, right?
00:09:07.000So this could be totally on the level.
00:09:11.000Again, that being said, I think, considering the shadow campaign Time Magazine wrote about, and the fact that we're seeing these massive numbers in key swing states, in places like Texas, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, which is clearly here reflected, Missouri, interestingly, has a large number as well.
00:09:27.000I think we definitely want to pay attention to this.
00:09:30.000I don't know that anyone actually caught anything, but I certainly think this should be investigated now, Yeah, this social security number.
00:09:48.000Is that what they're letting people do?
00:09:50.000Well, you gotta understand, like in a place like Virginia, where we now have same-day voter registration, the bottom line is that you're gonna go through this process, and unless they have a way to really check this automatically right off the bat, which, quite frankly, if they show up to a polling location to do this, they're not gonna be able to get that instant verification.
00:10:06.000And they may give you a provisional ballot, but then you figure all that out, that gets counted in what, three days later when they've already declared the winner, they're going to come back and really scrutinize that?
00:10:15.000No, they're only going to scrutinize it to the degree that they want to scrutinize it.
00:10:19.000And that's the problem with all of this.
00:10:21.000When you make it easy to cheat, it doesn't mean that everyone cheats.
00:10:24.000But enough people can cheat and enough other people look at that and go, something is wrong with this system.
00:10:29.000There doesn't seem to be sufficient accountability.
00:10:31.000There doesn't be sufficient transparency.
00:10:34.000And so you actually end up undermining the process, even if you haven't done something wrong.
00:10:39.000And I think it's only going to get worse, especially when you look at a place like Texas.
00:10:43.000I mean, yeah, it's interesting that we live in a culture and society that says there has to be a nefarious reason that this looks out of whack, right?
00:10:51.000Like we are aware enough now that there is.
00:10:55.000There are errors that occur in voter registration and that some people may benefit from that.
00:11:00.000And I think that that fear is going to, you know, you would hope that it would drive people to the polls.
00:11:05.000If something's wrong, I've got to act.
00:11:06.000On the other hand, you know, when you look at a number like 30,000 in Texas, when other states haven't registered anybody, it looks extremely odd, especially given the situation at the border, which Texas has to respond to.
00:11:22.000So you're saying, Nick, because it's at a polling station, they don't have enough time or equipment to verify, like give them a social and a fake name?
00:11:29.000So obviously with this, with Texas, we're talking about March, right?
00:11:32.000So they're going to the DMV or wherever it is in order to register.
00:11:35.000Each state is a little bit different on how you get to register.
00:11:38.000But in a place like Virginia, where we have same-day voter registration, and you can walk all the way up to the polling location, register that day, and then vote, you're not going to get the same degree of verification that you would through a regular process where you actually have adequate time.
00:11:54.000And so sometimes the way they try to do that is they'll give you a provisional ballot, and you're supposed to keep the provisional ballots separate, and then you go through those after the fact, and they're supposed to go through additional scrutiny.
00:12:04.000Again, where people are losing trust with this, I'll give you a very personal case from 2020, right?
00:12:09.000This was the year in Virginia, it's COVID, we had a bunch of, we had a special session where Democrats changed the voting laws in Virginia like significantly.
00:12:20.000It's so bad that a judge came back after the fact and said, yeah, you probably shouldn't have done it this way, but we're not going to change anything because the votes have already been cast.
00:12:29.000We had a thumb drive in Henrico County show up with 15,000 votes, right?
00:12:34.000Which they claimed we have all the corresponding voter ID numbers.
00:13:11.000If instead on election night, I had been down and I had been down, right?
00:13:15.000Cause I was leading and I was leading in the vote counts.
00:13:17.000If I had been down and then all of a sudden a thumb drive showed up In the reddest county in the district, with just enough votes to get me over so I won, would you have written an article about, wow, we really need to change the whole chain of custody?
00:13:30.000Well, yeah, that probably would have been... Yeah, but you didn't, right?
00:13:43.000Single match found deceased means the total number of verification requests where there is only one match in our records on name, date of birth, and last four digits of social security number, and the number holder is deceased.
00:14:28.000Well, the other thing to keep in mind, too, is that organizations actively go to retirement homes, they actively go to assisted living facilities, and they register people who may not be fully cognizant of what is actually going on.
00:15:10.000If you put Texas and Pennsylvania, because Pennsylvania has the next most voter registration, you've got about six times more people registered in Texas than in Pennsylvania.
00:16:33.000Some people are pointing out that if you go to the later- next week, Texas isn't there.
00:16:36.000Well, they're not the previous week either, but the week ending March 9th, 224,000 attempts, and there were 4,650 registrations for deceased people.
00:18:46.000It's the leading cause of death in Texas.
00:18:48.000Maybe the paper they use is just very fine, sturdy, and rigid.
00:18:53.000And so these poor elderly people are taking the thing and they're filling it out, and then as they pick it up, accidentally, the paper cuts their arm.
00:19:24.000The FBI will be like, stop talking about it.
00:19:27.000In a normal society, you're like, we have this horrific anomaly on our border right now of people coming across and voter registrations going off the charts.
00:19:35.000We need every aspect of this covered and taken care of.
00:19:38.000If we were to do the total calculation from 2011 till today, because it allows you to pull that up, we can see that for 55 million registrations, there are 1 million deceased.
00:19:50.000And that's the entire... for 13 years.
00:20:19.000A state that's incredibly vulnerable to this type of fraud seems to have an issue.
00:20:24.000Missouri also has several thousand, which is crazy.
00:20:28.000Yeah, what the heck look at this for the for this doesn't even include it include Texas because they only report every other week, but 7,000 345 but it's like a one.
00:20:36.000I wonder why somewhere it's not even listing it.
00:20:38.000That's interesting Texas is not here because that number is bigger What do you say next?
00:20:43.000No, I'm just wondering why, because most states have exactly what you'd expect with this, but there's a couple states that stand out as anomalies, and that's strange.
00:20:51.000I mean, I wouldn't have bet on Texas and Missouri.
00:20:53.000Texas, maybe, because you have the legal immigration issue.
00:21:14.000For Media Matters, matches coming in from deceased people.
00:21:19.000So these are voter registrations where someone tried to register using a social security number and a name, and when it came back to the SSA, they said that person is dead.
00:21:53.000The total number of verification requests, where there's only one match in our records of a name, last four digits of the SSN, date of birth, and the number holders alive.
00:22:01.000They say total matches, total number of verification requests.
00:22:04.000So someone is registering the vote and asking to verify the social.
00:22:08.000And the socials and the name, look at this.
00:22:12.000The total number of verification requests, where there's only one match in our records and a name, date of birth, and last for the social and the number holder's deceased.
00:22:38.000So you think they purge voter rolls from time to time?
00:22:41.000Well, I'm trying to make sense of this, right?
00:22:43.000Because that would make sense for a huge... Yeah, it would make sense for a huge thing if a state came by and they said, okay, we're reevaluating our voter rolls and we've identified all these people are dead and so we're purging them from the list.
00:23:20.000Because otherwise we live in a very corrupt system and I think that's not great.
00:23:23.000It's a very depressing thing to talk about on Ian's birthday.
00:23:25.000Can I say another thing that just irritates me about this?
00:23:28.000This is one of the problems with bureaucracies in general.
00:23:32.000Is that even when something like this is done, and let's say that the explanation I just offered is the actual explanation, and actually this is something that we would agree with, right?
00:23:48.000Like, make that obvious that that's what you're doing.
00:23:51.000Like, this is why the transparency aspect of all this is so important, is because even when a bureaucracy is doing something that you might approve of, they still don't do it in such a way to where people can actually understand what's going on.
00:24:02.000But again, we haven't verified that that's what's gone on here.
00:24:08.000And so I just want to point out, we're looking into the high number of deceased and we're shocked to see it in the immediate, but it may very well be the state is saying, let's run these registrations and see if these people are still around and alive.
00:24:20.000Make sure that their date of birth, name, and everything comes up.
00:24:29.000Legally, what states are supposed to do is look at the voter rolls and evaluate them in order to determine that if people have died, they fall off the voter rolls.
00:24:39.000Because here's what ends up happening, right?
00:24:41.000You die, but you're on a permanent absentee list.
00:24:44.000Well, now that absentee shows up to your home and somebody fills that out and sends it off.
00:24:50.000And so that's why you try to keep those roles updated.
00:24:53.000It's why there's also supposed to be, you know, you have organizations like EPIC, which I think is a problematic group, but it's also supposed to allow states to communicate better among themselves so that when somebody moves, you don't have absentees going to like two locations.
00:25:06.000But like I said before, with same day voter registration, now you've got a place, look at a university campus, right?
00:25:12.000So you don't, you don't live in Virginia, but you go to school at, you know, whatever.
00:25:21.000The Help America Vote Act requires states to verify the information of newly registered voters.
00:25:26.000Newly registered voters for federal elections.
00:25:28.000Each state must establish a computerized statewide voter registration list and verify new voter information.
00:25:34.000The states are required to verify the driver's license number against a state MVA database.
00:25:38.000Only in situations where no driver's license exists should the states verify the last four digits of the new voter registrant social security number.
00:25:45.000The state submits the last digits of the SSN to the MVA for verification with SSA.
00:25:50.000In addition, SSA is required to report whether its records indicate the registrant is deceased.
00:25:58.000Yeah, we gave the benefit of the doubt, right?
00:26:00.000We didn't rush to a conclusion, but that sounds bad.
00:26:03.000Okay, I mean, it says states must only submit a request to us for new voters who do not present a valid driver's license during the voter registration process.
00:26:17.000Straight up, these are new registrations where they're saying someone did not present an ID and Missouri kicked back 23,000 of them as deceased?
00:26:29.000I wonder if Missouri is a hotbed for illegal immigration.
00:26:32.000I feel like even though I'm reading this from the SSA website, it has to be wrong.
00:27:16.000Because the states are required to verify the driver's license against a database.
00:27:21.000It says already right here, states must only submit a request to us for new voters who do not present a valid driver's license during the voter registration process.
00:27:33.000That is, all of these that are being sent to the Social Security Administration are purported to be new registrations.
00:28:08.000I heard about this phenomenon where carbon dioxide can build up at the bottom of the lake and then it bursts and sweeps over the neighboring town, asphyxiating everybody.
00:28:19.000Could that have happened somewhere and we just didn't know it happened?
00:28:22.000Well, that's what Media Matters will want us to assume before we make any other conclusions.
00:28:27.000Or it could be that despite the fact that they say this on their website, it's not true.
00:28:44.000Again, the reason why it's also confusing is because you would expect if somebody is doing this, and they're actually good at it, you're not going to one state.
00:29:04.000My thought is like, I keep saying this, I think, I could be totally wrong, Missouri, I'm not super familiar with you, but I think it's a pretty substantial agricultural state.
00:29:13.000And often you have undocumented, illegal aliens.
00:29:17.000People who are there illegally working on farms or whatever else.
00:29:19.000So theoretically there could be a population that would want to register to vote that doesn't have a social security number.
00:30:23.000because here we go, 4,607, 125,000 requests.
00:30:28.000This website says these are literally new registrations.
00:30:33.000How is it possible that so many dead people, tens of thousands are submitting new registrations?
00:30:37.000Well, and if there's, like, if there's a portion of them, let's say, or like, yeah, if you write your social security number wrong and it turns out that the number you got was a dead person, like, it would have happened 4,000 times, right?
00:30:49.000Because it would have to match their name, too.
00:30:51.000In 23,000 in one week in Missouri, someone accidentally added a zero or something.
00:31:00.000And it's the same week that it happened in Texas.
00:31:02.000But guys, the important thing to understand is no one will investigate this, not a single Republican will ask about it, and everyone will forget within one month.
00:32:33.000When you look at it, if you judge militaries by the Excel spreadsheet, right, like the number of tanks, the number of men, the number of whatever, China's military looks incredibly powerful.
00:32:42.000The problem is that they run into major logistical issues when you're trying to pull off a major amphibious campaign.
00:32:49.000Because Taiwan has about 150, 190,000 people in their active duty military.
00:33:18.000You think that's all class A divisions?
00:33:20.000No, there's a lot of like conscript troops in there that aren't very good, that are not capable of conducting a complex amphibious operation.
00:33:28.000Then in order to pull it all off, you have to maintain complete air superiority.
00:33:32.000In order to protect your supply lines, unless you're going to be able to move in and do it.
00:33:36.000And by the way, the Taiwanese are going to fight, right?
00:35:02.000Dude, the conspiracy acts must be lighting up like crazy.
00:35:09.000I imagine at the level of government you're at, you're not with the cultists, like the crazy, like, esoteric, you know, people that are like blood mad.
00:35:16.000But do you, are there whiffs of this, this occult in the government or are you kind of at a stage where it's not?
00:35:22.000One of the beautiful things about being in a citizen legislature is, so most people don't know this, like most of your state legislatures are not full-time legislatures.
00:35:30.000We go down there like 60 days during even years, 45 days during odd years, we'll hear 2,000 bills within that time frame, and then we go home.
00:35:39.000In Virginia, $17,600 a year, roughly, that's your salary.
00:35:44.000It is not supposed to be your life, your career.
00:35:46.000You go down there, you do the people's business, you go back to your district, you hand your constituent services, that's it.
00:35:52.00046 out of 50 state legislatures, that's the reality.
00:35:54.000When people talk about term limits, I'm like, Not term limits.
00:35:57.000I want Congress to be a citizen legislature because you don't want to pay politicians full time to do it.
00:36:03.000But what it means though is we focus on what we're doing for that period of time and then we get back home.
00:36:10.000This is people that have way too much time, they're just dawdling around for years.
00:36:13.000If you're going to pay politicians to do nothing but sit around and dream crap up, they're going to dream up some pretty stupid crap, right?
00:36:20.000That's got to be, I think about the kings of old, all the Illuminati, all these ancient, or super... I just saw a video of the most valuable house on earth, it's a billion dollar home, and some, I don't know, guy... Where is it?
00:36:37.000And during COVID, the guy was so bored, he built this underground grotto.
00:36:41.000These people with so much money that they can do and build almost anything within reason, then they start to dream up crazy.
00:36:49.000Then you get into actual God and spirituality and the occult and all that stuff, and you're like, whoa, now I've got enough time to focus on it.
00:37:21.000I think that some of the stuff when you look at Gnosticism and some of the mysticism that comes up, and yes, some of it is rich guys with too much money and too much time on their hands.
00:37:31.000I think a lot of the universe is more magnetic than we realize.
00:37:34.000And so a lot of these patterns play out, like getting hit by comets that are like magnetically trapped in orbit, our moon eclipsing the sun in just the right proportion where it blocks the entire thing out, held magnetically in position.
00:37:45.000So behavior, you know, our brains are magnetic.
00:37:48.000They have these neural pathways and stuff.
00:37:50.000And I wonder if, like, there is something going on.
00:37:52.000That's the reason, because like Tim kind of brought up jokingly, like April 8th, they're firing these APAP rockets, CERN's firing on, we got our earthquake.
00:38:02.000I don't really believe in coincidences.
00:38:03.000I'm just checking videos while you guys are talking, just so you know what I'm doing.
00:38:05.000I'm looking at all the breaking footage, seeing if there's... It actually is kind of a really interesting phenomenon that we are the only planet, I believe the only planet within our, certainly within our solar system, but I think it's broader than that, that is actually in a position to be able to have a full eclipse.
00:38:22.000And it's an interesting phenomenon that the one planet that actually has people that can observe an eclipse is the one planet that actually has the sort of lunar eclipses.
00:38:37.000The moon is the exact right size for its distance to the sun so that it creates the eclipse?
00:38:42.000It's held in the Lagrange point between the earth and the sun probably.
00:38:45.000Where, like, the sun and the earth are pulling on it at equal magnitudes.
00:38:47.000And it also, like, that phenomena has also made it possible to recognize other scientific phenomenon when they looked at things, like, again, with respect to the theory of relativity and whatnot.
00:38:57.000Like, if we weren't in our special position within the solar system, we wouldn't be able to do it.
00:39:34.000How much you want to bet we're gonna get some kind of... like something bad's gonna happen on the border?
00:39:41.000Or like iron, there could be like an iron explosion into the water.
00:39:45.000We're just going to do all four horsemen at once.
00:39:47.000The earth will fertilize itself with iron from time to time and it just spurt like iron water into the rivers and turn them red.
00:39:54.000But the, uh, the killing of the firstborn, I think a lot about sterilizing children when we're talking about that and how people, what they're doing to their children at the children's behest and like, is that meeting some sort of biblical prophecy of destroying your firstborn?
00:40:06.000I think it is fascinating when people make parallels between – when you look at ancient ball worship and whatnot, it was the idea of child sacrifice for fertility or for agricultural purposes or whatnot.
00:40:22.000I mean, the Carthaginians were doing this at the same time that they were fighting the Punic Wars.
00:40:29.000Yeah, it is amazing and absolutely horrific what we are allowing to happen to children in the name of a form of kind of self-worship that is just, you would have thought it unthinkable 20 years ago.
00:40:52.000They said the hour is later than you think.
00:40:55.000Like the Biden administration is actively engaging in communist policies, going after their political rivals.
00:41:03.000The position that we are in right now in this country, it's just, I believe anything probably.
00:41:09.000I think the more I read of Antonio Gramsci and the whole concept of the reason why Marx got it wrong is because Marx thought it was economics.
00:41:21.000Gramsci came to the conclusion sitting in a prison in Italy in the 30s that, well, no, you have to set up a complete counterculture.
00:41:30.000And that became known as the march through the institutions.
00:41:32.000He didn't coin that term, but it came.
00:41:34.000And if you look at it, I think a lot of people want to believe that there was some sort of secret force out there where it was the KGB or whatnot that was manipulated.
00:41:42.000And yeah, you had things like active measures that, you know, Yuri Bezmenov talks about and whatnot.
00:41:46.000But more than that, you just have a lot of people that like the explanation Karl Marx gave for everything that ails them.
00:41:54.000And it got really popular in Hollywood.
00:41:57.000And now we shouldn't be surprised that it's filtered down to the rest of society.
00:42:01.000I'm going to jump to the story from the New York Post.
00:42:03.000Trump hits Biden for border bloodbath, says President a loud monster who killed Ruby Garcia back into the United States.
00:42:11.000What's going on on the border is it's a crime against humanity.
00:42:16.000There are atrocities happening where human smugglers are raping small children and delivering them into sex slavery.
00:42:22.000Customs and Border Protection, with taxpayer dollars, with smiles on their faces, are taking these children, admittedly, saying outright in an interview with Dr. Phil, they know that in most of these instances, or I should say many, that they are delivering children into sex slavery and to sweatshops, and they do it anyway.
00:42:41.000So we were just talking about the previous segment with there's an earthquake in Taiwan, off Taiwan.
00:42:51.000Now I'm just like, how many plagues are we at?
00:42:54.000And talking about that had me really just think, like, Was the great battle of good and evil going to be something magical, or was it just going to be of this world?
00:43:04.000I mean, is it supposed to be that demons emerge from the cracks in the ground and agents come down?
00:43:10.000Or is it going to be that we, as humans, on this earth, witness the most demonic and evil actions you could imagine, and nothing is done about it?
00:43:21.000I mean, I think that's what's tragic about evil forces in the world, right?
00:43:26.000Like, they are very often happening in front of your face and it's not that there's going to be some big, you know, Marvel movie-like effect.
00:43:34.000It's that you see terrible things happen every day and become conditioned to adjust to them.
00:43:39.000And I think about, you know, some Catholic churches say the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel, and there's a line in it that talks about, and those who prowl the earth seeking the ruin of souls.
00:43:50.000And I feel like that is what we have sort of let ourselves drift into being used to, right?
00:43:56.000And we say, let live and let live, or we just become accustomed to a certain level of instability and violence.
00:44:03.000And ultimately, we are watching good and evil battle every day, except we're sort of numb and blind to it.
00:44:09.000I can, I personalize that like hearing someone, a woman getting beaten in the house next to mine.
00:44:29.000It's like look away man and just wait for it to be done.
00:44:31.000I can't but I mean what can what can we do?
00:44:34.000What can you really do when when the powers that be are in control of the genocide and they want to do it?
00:44:40.000I think it's it's I'm not I'm not always so concerned about the powers that be.
00:44:44.000The issue is we as humans like that we the people of the United States tolerate and allow customs and border protection to traffic children to sex slavery.
00:44:57.000Donald Trump can hit at Joe Biden for it all day and night, but...
00:45:01.000Joe Biden's policies, Mayorkas' policies are meaningless without the men and women wearing those badges with smiles on their faces saying the paycheck is worth transporting children into sex slavery.
00:45:19.000This is what people were saying when they started attacking Trump for bloodbath.
00:45:21.000Trump adopted it and is pushing it back on Biden.
00:45:25.000And I can respect that You know, we want to see this through to November because things are looking good despite the fact of whatever those voter registration things we're looking at were.
00:45:35.000But it is shocking to me that there are human beings in CBP that don't care and they'll just do it.
00:45:40.000And I suppose, I shouldn't be surprised.
00:45:43.000I don't know, people like to think that Americans are better and perhaps many of them, you know, Americans per capita are better people when it comes to individual responsibility, personal freedoms.
00:45:55.000But you look at the history of this planet and you will see every time there is some kind of authoritarian takeover, I don't care if it's Nazi Germany or the Spanish Civil War or Russia or whatever it may be, there are people who are willing to commit acts of evil to protect themselves.
00:46:11.000There was a book called Ordinary Men that was talking about various SS groups and ISOTSM groups and whatnot within the Nazis.
00:46:19.000And that is, of course, everyone's kind of favorite one to reference.
00:46:24.000But one of the things they talked about is that – and Jordan Peterson talks about this a lot – where it's this idea that we have this idea, well, that was somebody else.
00:46:36.000Like if you were not cognizant of your own individual capacity for evil, then you're not going to actually do the correct things that you need to do in order to combat against that.
00:46:49.000The other thing that I think is important is the greatest evil is not... People have this idea, and this is kind of a leftist trope, that the greatest evil is perpetrated for the quest for power or the quest for greed or the quest for wealth.
00:47:13.000Lewis had this quote where he was basically saying it would be better to be ruled by greedy robber barons than it would by moral busybodies.
00:47:21.000And his whole idea was that the moral busybodies will torment you without end because they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
00:47:28.000And there's nothing more dangerous than somebody that honestly believes that I have to do this to you for your own good, or I have to do this to this other person for the greater good.
00:47:40.000The person that's greedy or the person that's just questing for power, they can get a little power, they can get a little money, and they might be okay for a while.
00:47:46.000But my gosh, be leery of the moral busybody that is doing all this to save the world.
00:47:52.000There's also another component of it, which we talk about quite a bit, and that is these CBP officers took a deal with the devil.
00:48:01.000The assumption most people make when they hear about the Faustian deal is, You get offered your greatest desires.
00:49:59.000Or you're doing something like that where you're going out there and you're doing your job and you think you're doing it well.
00:50:02.000And you may be frustrated with somebody else and what they're doing in the organization or the agency, but you're still going to do your job.
00:50:09.000And because you could say the same thing about the military, you could say the same thing about, you know, any sort of large metropolitan police department.
00:50:16.000I get where you're coming from because it's the idea of at what point does it taint you just being associated with the organization?
00:50:23.000By the same token, you can see someone rationally making the argument that if the good guys aren't doing the job, then the only thing that's left are the bad guys.
00:51:26.000The institutions, we have this idea, and I really do think that we've grown up in some degree, I hate to use the word privilege because it's been co-opted, but there's a certain degree of complacency that comes with the sort of relative wealth, prosperity, security that we experience within the United States.
00:51:44.000And you have people that grow up thinking that this is just the way it's supposed to be.
00:51:49.000This is about as far from the natural order of things in human history as anything.
00:51:54.000And then you have people that think that they can just throw out the underlying objective morality or the underlying objective philosophies, which made these things, the prosperity and the security possible.
00:52:04.000And you can just kind of pick and choose like a buffet.
00:52:07.000And then you end up with something like this, where you've got people celebrating what's going on in the border right now, because they honestly think it's a representation of tolerance.
00:52:24.000Yeah, I am worried about a bunch of people just flooding into the country because if you don't actually have sovereign borders, that's pretty damn problematic.
00:52:30.000But I'll tell you what I'm also worried about.
00:52:32.000I'm worried about some parent in Ecuador that when they saw the DACA regulations go into place, they thought to themselves, oh my gosh, I can give my kids a better future.
00:52:47.000You work with the legal organizations, you work with cartels, because they're the only ones that control border access, and you're trying to do the right thing by your kid, and now your kid's sold into sex slavery, because we had a policy in the United States that really sounded good on paper, but that's what it produces in reality.
00:53:02.000And then when you show them the reality, it doesn't matter because the ideological train has already left the station and it ain't coming back.
00:53:10.000You've lured everyone into a dangerous situation, right?
00:53:12.000You've put American citizens at risk because we're not enforcing border policies and we're potentially exposing their communities to more crime than they actually need to be exposed to.
00:53:20.000And you're also hurting children who are sent away with no one to advocate for them.
00:53:24.000In fact, anyone along the journey could say, hey, you're vulnerable and I'm going to take advantage of that.
00:54:11.000I don't want to kill that, that invading species.
00:54:13.000I don't want to, I'm talking about animals like, like, Well humans are animals too but like raccoons and shit like I don't want to kill it but like that's my privilege I don't have to I have walls I don't have to go kill the bear because I have walls to protect me right and this is what you got with like saying build the wall 40 feet everyone should have walls access to the walls good fences make good
00:54:42.000And then once the brunt of illegal immigration hit them, think about New York City.
00:54:45.000They were like, federal government, we need support.
00:54:47.000I mean, the governor, the mayor, they have asked for support and the Biden administration has said no, and they are suffering the consequences.
00:54:53.000In fact, they're trying to hoist the effects of this onto neighboring counties around them.
00:54:58.000But when it didn't affect them, it was OK if it happened to border communities in Texas and Arizona.
00:55:03.000But when it started to affect them, someone had to step in.
00:55:06.000But you notice even then, right, it wasn't like, oh, gosh, now we're suffering the consequences of our actions.
00:55:10.000Maybe we should reconsider our policies.
00:55:12.000No, it was, hey, federal government, give us more stuff.
00:55:20.000You know, make it easier for someone to stay here, don't even consider deportation.
00:55:24.000For the cities taking them in, they were, instead of saying, hey, change the policy so this stops happening, they were like, give us money to facilitate it.
00:55:30.000Or they were going to their own citizens and saying, sorry, your kids can't show up to school today because we've got to house people that are here illegally.
00:55:35.000Which is kind of a third amendment violation.
00:55:59.000But even then, it's going to be a challenge.
00:56:02.000If Trump wins, and Republicans take the Senate, the Congress, and they do have, to a certain degree, the Supreme Court, there's still going to be massive backlash.
00:56:14.000He said, don't you think if Donald Trump were to win and try to enact this deportation, that California and New York's governors would mobilize their National Guard and say no?
00:56:23.000I don't know that they would go that far.
00:56:25.000I think in more subtle ways they would resist it, and they would do enough to actually make it very, very difficult to do the deportation piece.
00:56:34.000The biggest thing I'm worried about is the federal bureaucracy, because people think that when the president gets in there, you can fire people in the executive branch, right?
00:56:45.000There's a relatively small number of people that you can actually get rid of, and you're right.
00:56:50.000You're going to have states that actually resist that, some more subtly, some more overtly.
00:56:56.000But if we can't do something to tackle the massive federal bureaucracy in the same kind of way that Javier Mele is doing in Argentina right now, if you can't do that, forget it.
00:57:38.000The difference was, is that their chief executive has more control over the executive branch than our president has over the executive branch.
00:57:57.000Several experts and historians rebuked the independent presidential candidate for his comments in a televised interview.
00:58:02.000Basically, what he said was, Joe Biden's going after his political opponents with criminal charges and censoring people on social media violating the First Amendment, which is the first.
00:58:13.000And of course, uniparty establishment corporate press media rushes out to write stories in a way, this is the secret, this story should not be written this way, drawing criticism.
00:58:26.000We had over on, so timcast.com no longer has news.
00:58:31.000Uh, now, the, uh, former TimCast team is now working with SCNR.com, a separate company.
00:58:37.000And when TimCast was being evaluated by NewsGuard, we ran a story that said something like, Donald Trump says X. And then it was, Donald Trump at a rally today said, said the following, and it was like a paragraph, Trump says that when this happens, he will do this.
00:58:51.000Newsguard asks us why we didn't fact check Donald Trump.
00:58:55.000And I said, because we're just reporting on a quote.
01:00:55.000This is why I love what was the Thomas Sowell quote?
01:00:58.000He's like, the single greatest thing about getting a degree from Harvard is no longer being impressed by anybody that has a degree from Harvard.
01:01:26.000I'm like, we get to use aggressive violence in order to achieve our outcomes.
01:01:29.000We're the only ones that legally can do it.
01:01:31.000But they don't consider the chief executive, the president of the United States, using the federal government agencies to essentially call up social media companies and we won't say threaten, we'll say strongly encourage them to censor people, to de-platform people, to take down certain information.
01:01:50.000You don't think that use of coercive power constitutes violence or the threat of violence?
01:01:59.000And that's the part where, to your point, they want to use the title of objective journalism, but then they want to engage in editorialism.
01:02:07.000And like so many other things where they have just randomly changed the definition of a word, we all lose faith in something that we used to have faith in, because the word meant something.
01:02:17.000We know when we see a title like this, it's like, oh yeah, it's the Washington Post, and they're going to editorialize it, and I'm not going to get the truth about what was actually said, and I'm certainly not going to get a comprehensive, from multiple perspectives, analysis of what was said.
01:02:29.000I'm already being told what to think about this, and this is what good people think.
01:02:34.000And if you don't think this way, then you must not be a good person.
01:02:38.000Yeah, and it depends on compliance, right?
01:02:40.000Like, I love what you're saying, you know, if you don't think this way, then you're not a good person.
01:02:46.000At a certain point, you have to look at this other side and say, do I think I want to be a good person under your definition, right?
01:02:52.000Like, the people, the values that you think are good, the actions that you think are right, would I also agree with that?
01:02:58.000And I think when you start to really critically analyze the yardstick with which they use to measure character, you don't want to be a part of it, in my opinion.
01:03:12.000Good, the word God, it's like the same word on purpose.
01:03:15.000Well, I think that we should have a cultural standard.
01:03:18.000Like, I wish that we had a strong enough cultural identity where we could all at the table be like, these things are good and these things are bad.
01:03:24.000And maybe in this room we could, and maybe generally across the political spectrum, there
01:03:29.000are topics where people would say, yes, I agree that's good, and yes, I agree that's
01:04:32.000I'm just saying, if there were ways that we could agree that there were certain outcomes that are good, but if we always see our definitions of good as in conflict with each other, then we're never going to have a conversation.
01:04:41.000Well, I think there's also a difference between useful and good.
01:04:44.000When we say good, there's more of a moral connotation to that.
01:04:47.000So in that situation, what we would do is, there's one sandwich, you're both hungry, and you say, no, you take the sandwich.
01:04:53.000We would agree that it was useful that she got the sandwich.
01:04:55.000We would also agree that it was good that you engage in a form of personal sacrifice to help somebody else.
01:05:01.000And so the term can be used both ways, but we would understand the different moral connotation associated with it.
01:05:07.000But to your point, we're increasingly getting to a point where this idea of a certain degree of shared values just doesn't exist anymore.
01:05:18.000We literally have half the country that doesn't believe the same thing about this country, doesn't believe the same thing about how it was founded or the fundamental principles that informed it, doesn't believe that on the whole it's been a force for good.
01:05:41.000And so, you take a look at what happens to somebody when they start rigging.
01:05:44.000Yannick Asparian's a really great example.
01:05:46.000She reads a story about people in Long Island who have cut up two people, or who are accused of.
01:05:52.000They were found in a home with blood and guts in the drains, body parts strewn across all over the house, and scattered around Long Island.
01:05:59.000And when the police arrest them, For these crimes, they said they're not bail eligible and let them go.
01:06:13.000Among the left right now massively viral where higher right chick of libs of tick tock was at university I believe and some guy in the back laughs at something she says and she goes you have a question he goes yeah how do you define woke and she couldn't do it she said it's like anti-normalcy and it's like didn't have a good answer and I think for a lot of people they can they can sort of understand when they see something that is woke what it is because it's almost it's almost a root word itself But they don't actually break it down.
01:06:42.000There are a lot of conservatives that define it as, like, postmodernist thought and blah blah blah.
01:06:45.000And it's like, no, no, no, that's not correct.
01:06:47.000Because when you take a look at the left as a whole, you see masking, forced vaccination, lockdown policies, pro-Ukraine war.
01:06:56.000You see, and of course, the postmodernist stuff is a component of that.
01:07:01.000But these things don't have a shared ideological root.
01:07:03.000The only thing that woke is, is cult-like adherence to leftist social orthodoxy, an orthodoxy of which is amorphous and has no moral framework.
01:07:11.000That's why they can simultaneously say, war is bad and the military machine is awful because they're funding Israel and go Ukraine!
01:07:19.000You're like, okay, I can understand if you're like, no war, but these people who are screaming about Israel have an overlap with people who are screaming about defending Ukraine and they go on their live shows and they preach this stuff.
01:07:31.000They claim, my body, my choice, but you better get the medical treatment we demand!
01:08:05.000So I'm not saying you have to believe in God to have a moral framework.
01:08:08.000What I'm saying is this country historically had a Christian moral framework.
01:08:12.000This is not... I'm not offering an opinion.
01:08:14.000I am not making a value assessment on the benefits or otherwise of religions.
01:08:19.000I'm saying a Christian moral framework gave us the Bill of Rights, protected our rights, gave us property rights, and a whole bunch of things.
01:08:29.000Eventually, over time, you start seeing the rise of secular thought, atheism, and these people, like Bill Maher, who's in his 60s, believe it or not, Bill Maher still has a Christian moral framework.
01:09:09.000I think that if someone has no moral framework, that they'd be easier to teach morality than if someone has like a misaligned moral framework.
01:09:18.000That would be challenging to unlearn the code.
01:09:20.000So it's easier to teach these people that are still, they might be 25, 28 years old, but they don't know what love is.
01:09:25.000Like, well, you could argue there's default liberals.
01:09:28.000Who are just saying, I guess, and they're marching along with the news.
01:09:31.000And now, we are seeing a lot of Gen Z say they're going to vote for Trump.
01:09:35.000There was a poll that was fascinating.
01:09:37.00065% of Gen Z, the highest percentage for any demographic, saying Trump was more likely to shake this country up for the good.
01:09:44.000And that, like, Gen Z, it's remarkable.
01:09:47.000So yes, these younger people are growing up realizing what's going on and they're saying, Yeah, I think they were lying to us, and Trump's probably better.
01:09:52.000So, it's probably true that the people who don't know anything... But, the clarification here is, the woke, these are people with no moral framework.
01:10:04.000We had Stephen Marsh, who wrote the book The Next Civil War, who repeatedly said, I don't want to hear about morality, I don't care about morality, it's meaningless to me.
01:10:13.000And he said, children should have books teaching them how to do adult sex acts in their grade schools.
01:10:28.000That's why atheists like Bill Maher like the founding documents, not all of them, but a lot of them, praise things like free speech, but don't understand how that moral framework gets you these good things and how those good things make a great country.
01:10:43.000So this is real, I find this fascinating.
01:10:47.000I wrote a paper, I was doing a college course, and it was about ethics in the intelligence community.
01:10:54.000And one of the papers we had to write was about what is the biggest ethical question facing the intelligence community.
01:11:00.000And this was at the height of rendition, enhanced interrogation tactics.
01:11:05.000And so we're writing all this, and I contact my professor and I say, I want to make the argument that it's postmodernism.
01:11:18.000And to your point, because the point you made about the generational component is very, very important.
01:11:23.000And the argument I made was, if you have objective truth, and objective morality, that generally, if it's going to be objective, it has to be sourced from the divine, right?
01:11:32.000In the United States, the religion was Judeo-Christian values.
01:11:36.000And what they did is that provided an objective moral framework, so it wasn't subjective.
01:11:40.000It was, no, this is wrong or right because God says so, and we also see the practical benefits from the application.
01:11:47.000So you have a society where the overwhelming proportion of the population believes this, And applies it.
01:11:56.000So they believe in it, they believe in the benefits, and they believe in the source.
01:12:00.000I said, then when you start to get in the 60s and you have the increase of postmodernism, what you have is people that want to separate good morals from the source.
01:12:09.000Well, now you just lost the objectivity.
01:12:12.000So they're still living in the benefit of, okay, everyone culturally kind of believes in these good morals, but we don't have the source.
01:12:17.000But then you start to go into this realm of like Maslow's hierarchy of needs and self-actualization.
01:12:22.000And if postmodernism is correct, then there is no such thing as a meta-narrative.
01:12:25.000There is no such thing as a projective truth.
01:12:28.000And now all of a sudden, you removed the source.
01:12:33.000Now all of a sudden, the morals get to get redefined.
01:12:35.000And so the same Bill Maher that will just sit there and be shocked at a kid that shoots up a school because he wanted his internal pain to be felt by somebody else, that was just his self-actualization.
01:12:50.000And Bill Maher looks at that kid and goes, that's wrong!
01:13:17.000Some kids started using his account to tweet and generate a lot of attention.
01:13:20.000They started the Gravel Institute, and after January 6th, they tweeted that it was a good thing it happened, but it was the wrong people who did it.
01:13:26.000And so naturally, when the narrative came out it was insurrection was bad, they deleted the tweet.
01:13:30.000But you had leftists outright saying they like it.
01:14:14.000The only benefits that you get from identifying whatever you want to, or being trans, or being this, you get all the benefits of being able to do whatever you want, provided that you stay within the group orthodoxy.
01:14:26.000And then there's this other narrative, and that is the oppressor versus the oppressed.
01:14:29.000That's that critical theory Marxist version of it.
01:14:32.000So you've got postmodernism, which doesn't provide any sort of objective moral framework in which to operate, combined with critical theory, which essentially says that the only moral imperative is oppressor bad, Oppressed good, and everything is about how do you consolidate political power?
01:14:49.000Well, if that's your only imperative, then you can essentially justify anything against somebody that goes into the oppressor category on behalf of somebody on the oppressed category.
01:15:54.000I was talking to a room full of mothers and stuff like that, and they were asking, like, I can't believe what's going on in our schools, and I can't believe that we have all these kids that are now identifying and suffering from gender dysphoria and whatnot.
01:16:04.000And I said, I'm actually surprised the numbers are as low as they are.
01:16:08.000And they're like, what do you mean by that?
01:16:11.000I want you to imagine you walk into a classroom and you are told by virtue of your skin color, or by virtue of your gender, or by virtue of your sexual attraction, you're an oppressor.
01:16:52.000I mean, this is what I thought about with affirmative action, especially when it came to college applications, right?
01:16:57.000It was a joke among my friends when they were applying to college, like, well, maybe I should just start ticking every box that I can come up with because it betters my odds, which means that, you know, especially with teenagers, You wonder how often this is a very genuine feeling or how much of it is just a fad to fit in with people around them when if you were to just be like oh yeah I'm straight and white you are suddenly not just like not cool but you are actively a force for harm just by virtue of being you.
01:17:25.000But I would love to talk about Christian morality for a minute, if you guys are into it, because I have some questions about particularly loving your enemy.
01:17:31.000I think that's a big part of Christian.
01:17:33.000And I talk a lot about pardoning people in political power, just mass pardons, forgiving those that have wronged you.
01:17:38.000And a lot of the feedback is, Ian, you idiot.
01:17:41.000If you pardon these people, they're going to continue to destroy you.
01:17:44.000So is the Christianity, is that love your enemy thing on purpose to make us slaves to those that do us wrong?
01:17:53.000No, you are supposed to love your enemy.
01:17:54.000You understand loving your enemy doesn't mean you let them out of jail if they're a mass murderer.
01:17:58.000You can still have love for the person that that is someone that is created in the image of God and you desperately want them to come to a place of repentance and changing the way that they behave and the way that they treat other people.
01:18:09.000But it's also appropriate that if somebody decides to engage in that sort of activity that they'd be locked up and separated from society.
01:18:15.000So there's no contradiction within Christian morality when we say love your enemy, but at the same time that there's a moral obligation to protect society and the innocent.
01:18:22.000But there's also a really easy way to put it.
01:18:24.000Do you love your child when you let him eat ice cream all day and stick the fork in the power outlet?
01:18:52.000And there's punishment that does come from a position of love.
01:18:54.000So when I discipline my child, I don't do so because I want to cause pain.
01:18:58.000I don't do so because the punishment is what I'm looking for.
01:19:01.000I'm doing so because if they've engaged in a behavior that I know is bad for them and
01:19:06.000bad for society, I have one of two courses of action I can take.
01:19:10.000I can either explain that to them and then I can explain why what they did is harmful
01:19:14.000to them and disrespectful or harmful to others.
01:19:17.000And then I can create an environment to where they understand.
01:19:21.000And punishment in my house was more built around the whole restitution.
01:19:25.000Like if you hurt your sister or if you did something like that, well then it's like you have to make amends to the person that you hurt because I wanted them to associate.
01:19:34.000You're not in trouble because daddy says you're in trouble, right?
01:19:37.000You're in trouble because you hurt another human being.
01:19:40.000And you need to make restitution for that.
01:19:43.000Now, I can either set that discipline up in an environment which I can control that allows them to learn and fully grasp that lesson out of love, or I can just let them get away with it and one day the state will deal with them and the state is not going to be anywhere near as nice or concerned with learning that lesson as daddy is.
01:20:01.000And so that's the important component of punishment within a Christian moral framework, is this idea of bringing about repentance and restitution.
01:20:10.000It's not just punishment for punishment's sake.
01:20:12.000Yeah, you're not seeking to see someone suffer.
01:20:22.000Yeah, I mean it was certainly the influence behind it was this idea that there's a certain degree of punishment that is by its very nature in and of itself evil even if it's trying to correct something that might be, you know, inappropriate behavior.
01:21:39.000In fact, the only thing that changed was they don't have the additional money in their coffers, so they fire people until they can get there.
01:21:46.000I talked to a guy, an accountant, New Jersey was raising the minimum wage, and it was going up like 50 cents.
01:21:55.000And he was like, it's gonna go up 50 cents, and then six months, 50 cents more.
01:21:59.000We're talking about in a year, this is gonna be a 10% increase.
01:22:03.000Now imagine you're a business and you have thin margins.
01:23:16.000In fact, all the legislators carrying and cheering this on are all coming from counties that are significantly wealthier than the poorer counties in Virginia.
01:23:26.000And when you point this out, and this is one of the things I hate, when people get up and you're supposed to explain your bill, they don't explain the bill.
01:23:33.000They give you their hopes and dreams and aspirations for what they hope their bill will do.
01:23:37.000And so, this bill is going to lift people out of poverty.
01:23:39.000I said, you know what this bill does technically?
01:23:41.000Does anyone want to know what it legally does?
01:23:43.000You will make it illegal to offer someone a job for $13.49 an hour or less.
01:24:07.000Because a bunch of representatives who know this much about economics, and who know it's not going to actually affect them, get to go on TV and talk about how much they care about the working poor, when in reality they just cost their jobs, they cost their hours, or they made everything they're going to buy more expensive anyways, which will eat into the supposedly pay increase that they got.
01:24:46.000Do you guys remember in, uh, it was a 2019, uh, 2019-2020 cycle, Bloomberg, I think it was, it was when Bloomberg was, he put a half a, half a billion.
01:24:57.000And then that woman was on TV and she was like, he put 500 million into this race, that means he could give every American a million dollars.
01:25:14.000No, it is interesting because I think you're right.
01:25:16.000It's a political talking point for someone who is in a district where their constituents aren't going to feel the difference, right?
01:25:22.000Like, if you're representing the wealthiest county in America and now we can all say, oh great, so we have raised the minimum wage, you know, it's mostly to pat yourself on the back and pretend like you're doing a good thing.
01:25:34.000And the problem is that because of this narrative, because of the advertising, because of the fact the media doesn't do their job, I had a room full of students come into my office and they were FFA students, right?
01:25:51.000And I asked these students, they said, how many people in the labor force, what percentage of the labor force do you think makes minimum wage?
01:25:59.000And the average estimate they gave me was 50%.
01:26:03.000And out of those 3% making minimum wage, the vast majority of them will not be making minimum wage six months from now, as long as they can keep the job.
01:26:12.000Because that's how upward economic mobility works.
01:26:14.000But if you take them out of the labor market at the very beginning, because now they can't get a job, or they can't get sufficient hours... They're not in the market, they can't go up.
01:27:36.000Well, we always kind of in a dark humor way, these minimum wage increases should be called the no kiosk left behind bills because the more difficult you make it to hire somebody, and it's not just the wage component, it's all the different rules.
01:28:58.000Well, and they mention in the first article that I guess afterwards she tweeted, like, buying calculator BRB, which I appreciate the self-deprecating humor.
01:29:04.000On the other hand, you went on national television and were like, and this is true!
01:29:33.000I want to go to the reality where they live underground and are super high-tech and they have like high-speed magnetic rail trains and stuff.
01:29:40.000I'm tired of this junk reality where idiots run the show.
01:29:42.000I don't know, not everybody's an idiot that's running the show.
01:30:01.000Yeah, you could buy a dollar fifty three of Bitcoin It's remarkable
01:30:11.000I do think, you guys talked about kiosk positions in the bathroom, but this whole raising the minimum wage is just bringing in the age of automation.
01:30:19.000Employees are going out, minimum wage workers on its way out.
01:30:23.000Well, we were talking about it before.
01:30:24.000I think, okay, again, don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure I read something where that $20 minimum wage in California, that there was a special thing that was put in there about baking bread, And I think it was like if you bake bread on site, you're not subject to the same minimum wage laws.
01:30:42.000And oh, by the way, Panera gave a ton of money to Gavin Newsom.
01:30:45.000The CEO of Panera is a huge Newsom donor.
01:31:22.000So the latest reporting is that Panera will raise their wages to $20 an hour, but that story from Bloomberg, yeah, how Panera Bread ducked California's new $20 minimum wage law.
01:31:34.000I love that they will do it, but they don't have to.
01:31:35.000They don't have to, but who are they going to hire?
01:31:38.000I mean, if you're an employee that's looking for jobs, are you going to go to Panera where you don't get paid?
01:31:43.000If you bake the bread and sell it as a standalone item, Oh, I was waiting for, like, McDonald's.
01:31:48.000Watch, McDonald's Burger King is like, hey, would you like a roll with your meal?
01:31:52.000They're going to have, like, one little stove in there.
01:32:35.000Not supposed to be profitable, but... Just ask the Clintons!
01:32:38.000I mean, it's... this is what these businesses do.
01:32:41.000You have a company, let's say your profits are gonna be a million bucks.
01:32:44.000You start a non-profit, and then right before the end of the year, you donate that million dollars to your non-profit, and you pay zero taxes.
01:32:50.000Your company's net, you know, your total taxable income then is, ah, it's only $70,000 in profits, so we gotta pay, you know, $20,000 or whatever in taxes.
01:33:00.000That million dollars that we had, that we made, oh, that was donated to charity.
01:33:04.000It's my charity that I own, that buys yachts!
01:33:06.000Yeah, it takes people on charter fishing trips.
01:33:48.000There are tax credits where you actually get money back from the government based off of how much you donate to something.
01:33:57.000But what some companies do is, you got 200k in profits, you give it to a charity, then you, as a consultant for that charity, get paid a portion of that money, which you then donate again.
01:34:12.000There's a lot of dirty games people play with taxes, and this is why tons of rich people have non-profits.
01:34:18.000Because non-profits can basically do anything.
01:34:26.000So if you want operating income that's shielded, then you just have a non-profit that works in a similar space that legitimately will do things.
01:34:33.000Let's say you have a non-profit that actually donates food to the needy.
01:34:38.000Well, you, in the process of doing that, be like, oh yeah, I'm having a meeting with someone, we'll put it on the non-profit.
01:34:43.000And so, some of your operating expenses can be diluted by these people putting it in non-profits instead.
01:34:49.000Or other businesses and things like that.
01:34:51.000Dave Chappelle talked about this, where he was talking about the debate with Trump and Hillary, where Trump was like, yeah, of course they took advantage of this stuff, it makes me smart.
01:34:59.000If you want to change the laws, you can change, but you're not going to because your major donors take advantage of all these things.

01:38:49.000No, no, no, that the federal government messed up the Founding Fathers' intention.
01:38:53.000We had a whole episode once where we dedicated it to what would we change about the Constitution.
01:38:58.000And the two things that we would change are the 16th and 17th Amendments.
01:39:01.000And the 16th Amendment, I think, just destroyed federalism.
01:39:03.000Everyone focuses on the 17th, which was the popular election of senators, but the federal income tax is what destroyed federalism in this country.
01:39:09.000I was just reading a lot about that today, actually.
01:39:11.000Nico Barney says, Nick, at your last Pints and Politics at the Uville Brew, I floated the idea of a national divorce.
01:39:27.000Because if you look at what's actually going on in Texas right now, this is an excellent example of a quasi-constitutional crisis where Texas goes down there, they start to secure the border.
01:39:36.000Federal government challenges them, they come in, Article 4, Section 4, we got the border, it's our authority.
01:39:41.000But then they don't do anything about it.
01:39:42.000And then Texas says, okay, fine, but we're still going to do it.
01:39:46.000Like, okay, you've got your ruling, but we don't get to submit to an invasion of our state.
01:39:52.000And you having the authority to secure the border also means you have the responsibility to do it, and you're not doing it, so we're going to do it.
01:39:59.000Now you force this issue with, is the federal government actually going to come down and expend resources Preventing Texas from securing their own border.
01:40:08.000And that's where you get these sort of, these crisis moments where you had, I think, I think you had, what was it, an additional 24 states that actually made public statements, like Glenn Youngkin made public statements supporting Texas and their decision sending troops.
01:40:19.000We sent the Virginia National Guard to Texas.
01:40:22.000So, I still think that, I still hold out hope for this idea that the federal government, the states, are going to push back against either the federal government refusing to live up to its constitutional responsibilities, or overstepping its constitutional boundaries.
01:40:35.000What makes it difficult, though, is the 16th Amendment, which essentially gives the federal government the ability to extort the states with their own money.
01:40:42.000Unregistered Skeptic says, Nick, thoughts on Youngkin vetoing the gun control?
01:40:45.000Oh yeah, he's vetoed just about everything.
01:40:48.000There was one, like it was an auto sear bill that's already federal law that didn't really change anything.
01:40:53.000And then there was one other bill that he let go through that didn't do much.
01:40:57.000It basically said that, the problem with it is that if a school says that, hey, we're notifying you that your child might hurt himself or someone else, If you then allow that child to get access to a firearm and they hurt someone, you can be held criminally liable.
01:41:11.000There's some issues for how that could potentially be abused, but it wasn't a huge deal.
01:41:20.000But the big ones, like the so-called assault weapons ban, which is the dumbest thing, Weapons don't assault people, people assault people, right?
01:41:28.000And people think that when they hear assault weapon, they're thinking like a belt-fed machine gun.
01:41:31.000You put a pistol grip on any semi-automatic rifle, you've just made it an assault weapon,
01:41:47.000The other big one that was just ridiculous was this safe storage bill.
01:41:50.000And again, this is one of these things where if the press actually did its job, people would understand how bad some of these bills are because they think, oh, safe storage.
01:41:58.000Yeah, you should keep your gun locked off so your kid can't get it.
01:42:02.000I said, okay, if your bill goes into effect, And my 16-year-old daughter, who's been shooting guns since she was 5, like knows how to responsibly handle a firearm.
01:42:35.000Look, there's always going to be things we disagree with somebody on, but he's probably going to set a record number of vetoes this year because there's a record number of stupid stuff coming across his desk.
01:42:43.000And I think he's been very, very diligent on getting rid of some of the worst stuff.
01:43:09.000I'm speaking to everybody that's going to watch that clip that I then push out on social media.
01:43:14.000It's another reason why people ask me why I don't do press conferences.
01:43:17.000I'm like, why would I want the Washington Post to lie about what I said when I can go to Instagram and put it on there and get 500,000 views, which is more than the daily circulation of the Washington Post, right?
01:43:28.000Yes, it adds clarity for constituents, and then it also sends the right signal to the governor and whatnot.
01:43:34.000Again, I don't think he needed a signal for this.
01:43:36.000He knew it was the wrong thing and did the right thing, but yeah.
01:44:13.000When they sent buses of criminal aliens into these neighborhoods and the residents came out, the cops started attacking the residents and arrested them.
01:44:22.000And so, it's like I bring these things up and people are like, stop breaking up the police!
01:44:26.000And I'm like, Staten Island cops attacked their own community to defend criminal aliens who are illegally invading this country.
01:45:07.000Jason Mayeres, the Attorney General of Virginia, he kind of put out a funny tweet reminding West Virginia that them seceding from Virginia is not something that we appreciate, and we're now going to petition the federal government to bring West Virginia back into Virginia, which I think would be an excellent addition.
01:47:01.000And then they thought, Montgomery County, Maryland doesn't really sound very country, so let's just... They went to a library, pulled out a book on West Virginia, started looking up things in West Virginia, and then putting those things in the song.
01:47:12.000It was written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nievert, and John Denver, the three of them.
01:47:17.000I don't know, I'm just learning about this as we go.
01:47:19.000They decided... Western Maryland also wants to be part of West Virginia, so I'm just saying, it's a great state.
01:47:24.000Well, I mean, you've got the panhandle of Maryland, this thin strip that goes along, and it's all MAGA country.
01:47:54.000Yeah, and we were like, this is MAGA country, baby.
01:47:56.000Alright, let's grab some more Super Chats.
01:48:00.000Michael M says, given the popularity of RFK, if something were to happen to Biden, could the DNC reclaim RFK as their candidate for November?
01:48:58.000Voice the People says don't forget about the Rolling Stone article called Biden is building a superstructure to stop Trump from stealing the election.
01:49:05.000They are telling you what they plan to do to keep Trump from office.
01:49:09.000Yeah, I love how Time Magazine wrote an article, what was it named, Molly Ball?
01:49:13.000The Shadow Campaign to Save the Election.
01:49:16.000And they literally called what they did a conspiracy.
01:49:19.000Behind the scenes, a conspiracy was unfolding.
01:50:46.000The original one was, like, what women think about when they're with a man they trust.
01:50:50.000It wasn't when it was just, like, all the time, right?
01:50:53.000Like, if you're with someone who's reliable, who is worried about your safety, you have the luxury of not thinking about it.
01:50:58.000And I think that that is the difference between men and women, which is that their brains are constantly... Well, if you ask a man, what are you thinking about?
01:52:53.000Well, I know it's probably six or seven, because it depends on if they got one of the tire facilities and the whole deal.
01:52:56.000Like, you gotta think this stuff through.
01:52:57.000You gotta turn the roof into a chicken farm.
01:53:00.000How many guys per point of egress do you need?
01:53:03.000Well, you want to do shift cycles, right?
01:53:05.000You don't want to do 12 hours at a time.
01:53:07.000But then the other thing, too, is if you can properly barricade some of those exits, you can probably get down to, like, two or three, and now you're operating.
01:53:14.000And you want to hit it at the right time, right?
01:53:16.000You want to hit it at the time where they, like, have hot tubs and stuff like that.
01:53:18.000And to be fair, I've thought about this, man.
01:53:23.000Zombies not being known for their intelligence.
01:53:27.000You could actually, probably, properly barricade and not have to worry about strategic attacks on your Costco.
01:53:32.000Whereas if you were dealing with, like, an invasion from extraterrestrials or a foreign force... You gotta guard the roof.
01:55:04.000The Trash House team is basically like Carter, and then Kent is... Carter banks for the music, Kent Welling does all our video stuff, and that's why it's like a song every couple of months.
01:55:15.000And we've done my songs a bunch, and we obviously want to do more songs and more bands, but it's just... it's really difficult.
01:56:17.000Nobody is going to submit a deceased person intentionally for verification because they know it'll get kicked back and that number is going to appear somewhere.
01:56:26.000I think they've got a list of names and they're just sending the forms in.
01:58:25.000But that is just, you know, it's important to mention.
01:58:27.000300 million interactions, that's not all.
01:58:30.000Yeah, I go with the, yeah, if you look at the total number of interactions between law enforcement and people, I mean, obviously the vast majority of them are not Indian in a situation like this.
01:58:40.000I do think that you have a significant problem with respect to the recruiting and training of officers.
01:58:44.000You're seeing the same thing in the military right now.
01:58:48.000Right, you're watching departments because typically if you look at the military, if you look at law enforcement, you're usually getting people that are a little bit more dedicated to the concepts of law and order.
01:58:56.000They're usually a little bit more conservative or whatnot.
01:59:00.000And I think they're actively trying to change the culture within these departments and within the military.
01:59:05.000And yeah, I think it's definitely causing problems.
01:59:09.000So I'm not blind to that going on, right?
01:59:12.000I don't believe in blindly supporting any sort of profession.
01:59:17.000Uh, without understanding that people are individuals.
01:59:20.000Um, I can respect that somebody that wants to, you know, enter a profession for the right reasons to try to protect people and they put themselves in harm's way to do so.
01:59:28.000But yeah, there's going to be, there's going to be bad people and they need to be held accountable because quite frankly, when you do have somebody in law enforcement or in the military that is deliberately corrupt or bad or evil at their job, it's, it's doubly, it's doubly bad because they've not only violated the law, they've also violated the public trust.
