On this week's episode of Sunday Uncensored, the boys talk about illegal immigrants running amok in New York City, Eric Adams' new immigration plan, and the Venezuelan president eating an empanada on camera.
00:00:01.000Welcome to our special weekend show, Sunday Uncensored.
00:00:04.000Every week, we produce four uncensored episodes of the TimCast IRL podcast exclusively at TimCast.com, and we're going to bring you the most important for our weekend show.
00:00:15.000If you want to check out more segments just like this, become a member at TimCast.com.
00:01:24.000Now we're getting people from all over the globe have made their minds up that they're going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City.
00:01:33.000It reminds me of the Wicked Witch of the West being like, I'm melting!
00:02:06.000But you don't deserve what happens next.
00:02:08.000If you change your habits and your voting patterns, you can vote for something better, and you deserve whatever comes next.
00:02:13.000So I hope they take that into consideration.
00:02:15.000But it does feel really good to see them experiencing the pain that they caused.
00:02:20.000Yeah, it makes me happy in that, thank God he's saying something about it, and he's not still pretending like it's not a big deal that 10,000 foreign nationals illegally enter your city every month.
00:02:31.000To be fair, to be fair though, when he said Venezuela, there's a compromise here.
00:02:36.000We can take the hipster communists from New York, send them to Venezuela, and give the Venezuelans their homes.
00:03:35.000Starving population in the middle of a press conference, he does this.
00:03:41.000He thought the camera had switched to something else during his speech, and so the people of Venezuela are starving, and he opens a drawer and pulls out an empanada and... Notice he's also fat.
00:04:03.000I say we take any Venezuelan who is unhappy and we say you can come to the United States, but only if A leftist communist in this country agrees to switch places.
00:04:15.000You could empty out the entirety of the Upper East and West Side and send them down there.
00:04:23.000And I can guarantee you're only going to have about a 10-20% error rate.
00:04:30.000What's the thing called where you take the avocado and the pulled chicken and you mash it together?
00:04:41.000All I know is the guy we were with said we were going to get arepas and we went to a restaurant and that's what it was.
00:04:46.000It was, it was, they take, they pull the chicken, then they take avocado, they mix it together, then they put it in the arepa and they put cheese on top and like tomato or something.
00:04:58.000Please let all the communists of no skill and no merit who whine and complain go to Venezuela and let all of the good Venezuelan people who want to work hard and like America, let them come here.
00:06:12.000And then, you know, like, they all think that they're just going to do their art and hang around, and when they start starving, it's going to be, um... Yeah, and they're going to be like, where's the food?
00:06:21.000Like, yeah, whoever... Where's the food?
00:06:23.000Whoever lasts the longest gets to have dinner.
00:06:26.000To be fair, it'll be like the morbidly obese person ends up going 30 days without eating.
00:07:06.000And the, the just absolutely defeated dude that was standing there watching him do it because he's trying, like, it looks like the dude, like, there was one guy that had, like, at least an idea of how to grow something, and then there's this, like, you know, tweaker, whatever, rolling around, and the dude's just like, you can see him, he's just like, for fuck's sake.
00:07:25.000Oh, this was, this was not Portland, it was Seattle, it was Seattle, right?
00:08:22.000Silkies are an older breed and they still have the brooding within them.
00:08:25.000Chickens can of course brood, some breeds are broodier than others, but for the most part, Like, it is difficult to get them to do it, and it's on purpose.
00:08:34.000Farmers have bred them specifically to be able to control their reproduction.
00:10:11.000And you put two big nails in right next to each other so you can put their head next to it or put their head in between and you slide their head in between the two nails that are sticking out and then pull just a little bit.
00:12:00.000Yeah, Vanessa was one of the original chickens, and she was fat and happy.
00:12:05.000She was one of the healthiest chickens we had, and she just died.
00:12:08.000And so, there are viruses that can cause issues, that may be the case.
00:12:13.000And it does suck to report, but I think it's also important to report, out of all the chickens we've had, I think we've only had about 5 deaths out of 90 chickens.
00:14:36.000And then you're going to see a dude with a flannel shirt tucked into his jeans with suspenders and black frame glasses jump out holding one of your chickens go, I'm just so hungry!
00:14:46.000And then you're like, drop my chicken, you motherfucker!
00:14:48.000And then he's gonna run for it, and you're gonna have hipster raids.
00:14:51.000Because the peoples in these cities don't know how to survive.
00:14:54.000And once food starts running out, they're gonna become desperate.
00:15:40.000So for those unfamiliar, the Gowanus Canal is basically like industrial refuse that's built up for a very long period of time they can't get rid of.
00:15:47.000Because they can't spill it into the water.
00:16:42.000You need government to protect you from Yeah, but to be fair, the Clean Water Restoration Act was signed into law because the Cuyahoga River started on fire.
00:16:53.000That's where my hometown is, Cuyahoga Falls.
00:16:55.000Yeah, the river started on fire, because what happened was all these different industrial factories, these corporations, We're saying things like, we contribute only a half a percent of the pollution.
00:17:08.000Yeah, but every corporation was contributing a half a percent or some small number and all of it combined turned the river to flammable sludge.
00:17:17.000It burst into flames and they're like, uh, maybe we need some kind of agreement that we're going to stop doing this, which resulted in the Clean Water Restoration Act.
00:17:25.000So, I'm not, I'm not, I'm mostly anti-government, but I'm okay with, like, social tenets, you know, like, social compromise and cooperation, which is the fundamentals of basic government.
00:17:39.000The problem with government is, as they, you need some degree of enforcement power, which I think should be more judiciary and not I mean, you can sue a company for this damage that they do to the environment.
00:17:53.000I think that's way more powerful than having the EPA tell you how much pollution you can put into the water.
00:17:58.000And the police force should be marshals enforcing court orders, not going around issuing fines for random bullshit.
00:18:05.000And it all can be handled under property rights laws, too.
00:18:09.000If you are polluting some some body of water, whatever, that body of water isn't the same body of water.
00:18:15.000It travels through other people's property and stuff like that, which means that the people that if you like people that messed up the river, like the people that live on the river downstream, they have standing to sue them into oblivion because they're damaging their property.
00:18:34.000Well, noise pollution isn't the same because it affects people differently.
00:18:39.000And noise pollution is more of a constant kind of sound than like big noises that would like give you tinnitus or whatever.
00:18:45.000So when they try to keep noise pollution down, they do like noise ordinances and stuff like that.
00:18:50.000So I don't know that property rights would be able to do anything because you have to show damages to have to have the ability to Ask for redress of grievances.
00:18:59.000So if you had noise that hurt your ears, gave you tinnitus and you could prove it or damaged your hearing, then you might have standing so that way you could sue.
00:19:08.000But if you don't have any kind of like actual thing that happened to you, you can't.
00:19:12.000But so if there's like air pollution and pumped out in the chemical plant down the street and you're breathing it in, but you can't prove that it's doing damage, but it's like 20 years later, you're going to get some sort of cancerous lesions.
00:19:23.000That's when I think the value of the government is like, we're going to stop the company from producing the chemical instead of waiting 15 years to then have to go sue them.
00:19:30.000I mean, we have chemical plants again, back to Miami.
00:19:34.000Um, we have chemical, we have plants that take care of like our trash and they're putting stuff into the air and they're polluting and the government regulates them and allows it.
00:19:43.000It's like, Oh, you're, you're doing great today.
00:20:11.000People that are, you know, hopefully spilling oil and stuff like that are held to task.
00:20:16.000They're not always, but that's why you need air pollution.
00:20:19.000That's why you need a court system, not necessarily the government.
00:20:23.000You need people to say, you need a financial incentive.
00:20:25.000The government, it's not really there.
00:20:28.000I mean, if you know that you're going to really, you know, lose all your money, all your property, because you're doing this thing, you won't do it.
00:20:36.000Do you like the idea of bringing like dirty industrial job, just industry back to the United States?
00:20:43.000Industry is going to continue to evolve.
00:20:45.000And today we just don't need that dirty chemical stuff like we did before.
00:20:51.000It's almost like you're stuck in an age, you know, like things get better with technology.
00:20:59.000And right now we just have so much technology.
00:21:01.000We have the ability to make it better, to not necessarily need that.
00:21:04.000I mean, which plant right now are we talking about that would do this?
00:21:09.000Like a vinyl chloride plant in China or something like that.
00:21:13.000China's not really something that the United States has jurisdiction over.
00:21:16.000But like they shipped the PVC plants over to China because it was so nasty on the environment.
00:21:20.000To be honest, I don't have a specific plant that I can name at the moment, but like the really heavy industrial plastic, crappy plastic that you don't want to touch.
00:21:26.000I mean, I'm sure there's a solution to it.
00:21:29.000I'm sure there's something that can be done for it.
00:21:32.000And I'm not an expert, so I'm not going to even, you know, try here.
00:21:54.000My question is for Martha and has to do with the whole Venezuelan thing.
00:21:58.000She said that Venezuela wouldn't exist without Cuba and how they're inextricably linked.
00:22:04.000I'm wondering as to your thoughts on and familiarity with Castro Chavismo as it's talked about in the Spanish and Latin language presses and Venezuela's intent to export revolution to other countries like the United States through what they call people's diplomacy.
00:23:39.000You can, you know, the FARC was a great example of that.
00:23:42.000They'd drive their boats into Cuban waters and the Cuban Coast Guard would help it get into either Puerto Rico or Florida or whatever that case is.
00:23:49.000China's right now putting fentanyl into those drugs and trying to Get Americans sick.
00:23:56.000It costs our health care there, you know gets us really addicted and that's kind of where they're going with this.
00:24:04.000They are trying to take us down and you know, I know people don't like when I say the war on drugs is stupid and we need to end it but we especially need to end it because that's You know, that's going on.
00:24:14.000And absolutely, people in my community, in Miami especially, will talk about the similarities between what happened before, you know, and what's going on in the United States.
00:24:43.000I was I had just left so my my parents got me out first my dad was there I was the first one to leave there was a threat on my life and my you know I immediately left the country and I actually never even got to say goodbye to my friends like it was one of those you're not coming home so yeah I was not there personally but lived it.
00:25:08.000You said it fell like what was the process what happened?
00:25:41.000I mean, you know, I, and I hear it all the time and it's like, well, you know, these people don't have that because of the rich people.
00:25:48.000Listen, you can, you can like, or dislike all of the rich people, you know, like, but Jeff Bezos is not consuming, you know, your milk, you know, like he's not taking from your mouth.
00:26:01.000Sure, but you can also get a better, you know, learn a different skill and get a job somewhere else, start your own business.
00:26:08.000There's a lot of that rhetoric and it's sad because, you know, I travel probably just as much as you guys, if not more, and you see all around the United States people aren't that Hi!
00:26:22.000We're going to a customer presentation tomorrow.
00:27:06.000This idea that we're just here, like, hating on each other, I just don't see it.
00:27:11.000And so, yeah, I think it's a lot of rhetoric, and they put it in our minds, so we're at each other's throats instead of being at the throats of the people who we actually have to be against, which is government.
00:27:19.000We need to be, like, arguing with our government and taking down their power, not each other's.
00:27:26.000So, yeah, there's definitely that similarity.
00:27:29.000You know, then Chavez rose to power and immediately the expropriations... What was that?
00:27:58.000Two months after he sold it, you know, the people who bought it, unfortunately one of the guys, he was kidnapped and then shortly thereafter the property was expropriated.
00:28:10.000Like, it's just, it is incredibly sad to watch what happens and, you know, unfortunately we just, we don't learn and we want to go back to it.
00:28:20.000Was it like the expropriations when your dad was like, Jesus, get her out of here and got you out of the country?
00:29:56.000And that thing about Castro trying to make the South America, the Soviet Union, that's pretty much essentially been achieved nowadays with all the, I think Uruguay's about the only place that doesn't have a communist politician in charge right now.
00:30:14.000And hopefully Argentina chooses Javier Milet, and we have a reversal of this.
00:30:18.000I think if Argentina goes with Javier Milet, we might see the Latin American continent go, you know, a little away from this and hopefully towards freedom, but it's a long shot.
00:30:44.000My question is for the whole panel, um, and it is, uh, how long until, uh, what do you think the future for groups like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys are, and, uh, how long until they interest, like, Japanese citizens at the end of, or during World War II?
00:31:02.000Start, I recommend everybody find a good book about the, uh, actually, no, here's the thing you can do.
00:31:08.000Look up the American Revolution on Wikipedia and just start reading articles.
00:31:12.000It doesn't mean they're all perfect or correct, but just start reading.
00:31:15.000Because I think a lot of people don't understand where I'm coming from when I make the statements that I'm making.
00:31:20.000Like, for instance, when I said, consistently I've said, my concern is that people will lose confidence in government, and when they do, you'll see militia groups pop up at various parts of the country.
00:31:30.000The feds will not be able to stop them.
00:31:38.000The Battle of Lexington and Concord, really great example.
00:31:41.000You get a lot of people who are saying things like, you know, the blood of patriots and tyrants, tree of liberty, etc, etc.
00:31:47.000And I'm like, when you say that stuff and you yell 1776, it makes it clear to me that you've not actually read about the American Revolution and what happened.
00:32:39.000The people in the colonies were like, fuck you, this is hurting us.
00:32:42.000So the Crown says, we're gonna pass the Coercive Act, the Intolerable Act, whatever you want to call it.
00:32:45.000This included a bunch of things like a quartering of soldiers, and it basically resulted in, I think it's called the Suffolk Resolve or something like this, where you get the provincial government or the colonial government being like, we're not abiding by this.
00:32:59.000So then redcoats get sent in to basically enforce the law, which results in militias forming in random pockets outside of Boston.
00:33:09.000Which results in the Redcoats being like, hey, you guys aren't allowed to form up and form militia.
00:33:17.000And then they said, go fuck yourselves.
00:33:20.000And when the Redcoats tried to take the guns away, shooting started happening.
00:33:25.000And the Redcoats killed, I think, 18 of the militiamen at Lexington and Concord.
00:33:29.000It's like, I think most people assume the shot heard around the world, the conflict and all this stuff.
00:33:34.000Is like, the Continental Army had been meeting, and they'd been upset with the Crown, so they formed the ranks, and they said, you will not occupy- No, it was random dudes who were like, I don't like the fact that redcoats were sent in, they're not from here.
00:33:45.000They're not from here, they should not be enforcing laws against us.
00:33:48.000We are seeing a lot of this stuff happen now.
00:33:51.000Anyway, my point is, this stuff's fascinating to read about.
00:34:51.000The Declaration of Independence only matters because France was at war with Great Britain.
00:34:58.000I'm oversimplifying it, and I'm being purposefully hyperbolic, but the reality is, The Founding Fathers signing a Declaration of Independence would be completely meaningless if the Crown actually compromised or France did not intervene.
00:35:12.000The rebellion would have been crushed, the Declaration would have been a footnote in history nobody cared about, and the colonies would have remained subjects of the Crown.
00:35:19.000But, because of international conflict, because of the way things turn out, we hold very serious reverence for the Declaration of Independence, for the Founding Fathers, even though they could have easily been crushed.
00:35:30.000In fact, the Founding Fathers thought they would lose.
00:35:33.000They were already in the Revolutionary War when they decided to declare independence.
00:35:38.000It was only because the Crown was killing colonists, not only that, but like kidnapping people and forcing them to serve on boats, that they were like, I think we should tell them to go fuck themselves.
00:35:48.000So, like, when we get to the point where people are being gulagged, which is basically kind of where we're at now with the J6ers, we are still, like, what, seven years away from getting to a point where people would, if like the Founding Fathers, consider open hostilities.
00:36:02.000So the people who are calling for that are way wrong, need to read about this shit.
00:36:06.000We are currently at the position of the Founding Fathers where they keep writing strongly worded letters to the crown being like, please just stop doing this.
00:37:05.000in Eastern Europe results in stress on the American economy, which puts these big wealth
00:37:10.000management funds and these investment firms at risk.
00:37:13.000So the US government intervenes with bailout policies and demands of Florida, Texas, West
00:37:18.000Virginia and other states that you do business with these companies or we pull federal aid.
00:37:24.000The boycotts then result in the federal government saying you are an open defiance of federal
00:37:31.000We are demanding under the Supremacy Clause that you work with these businesses, much like the East India Trading Company and the tea and all that stuff.
00:37:42.000Federal law enforcement are sent in and arrest state-level politicians saying that they're engaged in insurrection, which results in state-level law enforcement and local militias forming saying, get the fuck out of here, you motherfuckers!
00:37:55.000That would be more akin to what we saw with the American Revolution.
00:37:58.000We're at the point where it's like, Trump could get elected and this stuff just stops and none of it matters.
00:38:02.000My answer to your question, it's a personal opinion, is now is not the time in history to be joining militant political groups.
00:38:10.000And I'm not saying that the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers are necessarily militant.
00:38:14.000I know that they're known for carrying weapons peacefully, and then you could say this fucking bullshit at the Capitol that all happened, they were involved, there weren't really weapons involved.
00:38:24.000I don't think it's a smart move to go join up with one of those in the heat of the moment right now.
00:38:31.000It sounds like they really fucked up by engaging in open street violence at all and put themselves on the map.
00:38:38.000We have never engaged in offensive violence.
00:38:41.000We have defended ourselves vehemently, but we have never involved in any sort of violence.
00:38:47.000Specifically the J6 stuff, there's video of Joe Biggs picking stuff up, like the video of him shaking the fence, and then 20 minutes later that fence goes down, he's blamed for it.
00:39:00.000It's quite ridiculous what We are lambasted and shown to be in mainstream media.
00:39:13.000I haven't seen the offensive attacks from Proud Boys, but when they were fucking up with the Antifa dudes and they were all fighting in the street and then they turned themselves in, that set a tone for what people believe the Proud Boys are, and that is a violent street gang.
00:39:44.000They went to counter-protest Antifa, and Antifa started the fights with them.
00:39:50.000They have been They have been completely and totally slandered and the narrative was created surrounding them as these bad violent people, but it was 100% Antifa doing it.
00:40:04.000Like we can see the videos of Antifa starting it.
00:40:08.000That's from what I've learned about it.
00:40:09.000I mean, from what I learned about Proud Boys is it was just like a drinking gang, a group of drinking buddies, and they were getting together to fuck shit.
00:40:16.000I like to say that we're a drinking club with a political problem.
00:41:17.000So obviously many conservatives would have an opinion with you utilizing OnlyFans to get your message out and raise funds.
00:41:26.000Personally, I think it was a great idea.
00:41:28.000But what other experimental fundraising methods or promotional methods would you recommend to a candidate moving forward?
00:41:36.000So just to be clear I did not use OnlyFans to raise funds.
00:41:39.000That would have been a logistical nightmare because you have to take everybody's name and address and occupation and give that to the government.
00:41:48.000So I actually had that money that was put in there to my personal account and I took my team to a Bad Bunny concert.
00:41:57.000So small little What it did was got me name recognition, got me in front of people, got me on shows.
00:42:05.000I was able to get onto local shows and stuff like that.
00:42:08.000So yeah, I see that, you know, conservatives might have an issue with it and, you know, sorry.
00:45:09.000Oh you took campaign donations from you know you actually he gave money from his campaign donations to Democrats as a Republican and it was actually worse than that we couldn't really put it in the video, but he gave money to people who Specifically are endorsed by I forget the name of the list that like it's if you have to be a hundred percent for abortion up to the day that child is born to be on this list and he gave money to those candidates so he's effectively taking money from people who let's presume are Republicans that you know are giving him money because they want him to win and he's funneling it to Democrats who are
00:46:01.000It was a series of four videos all about just different things The one that was taken down that they didn't let me actually air was too spicy for only fans was the one where I was shooting guns and I just want to mention this because I'm reading, as you're talking about, the American Revolution, and I'm just reading this really funny thing about Lexington and Concord.
00:46:23.000It increased, it's not pulled up here, it's on my phone, it increased support for the revolution as one of the things that showed American citizens that they could stand up to redcoats, something that was doubted by many on both sides.
00:46:35.000It's really funny when people are like, there can never be a civil war or a revolution, the military is too strong, it's like, You're just saying the same old shit they said before the American Revolution, during the Civil War.
00:46:46.000When confidence in the system breaks down, it doesn't matter if someone thinks they can win or not, shit starts flying in the air.
00:46:51.000I think that's what the Twitter files did.
00:46:54.000Let me just ask you like, anyone who's ever engaged in warfare, do they think they're going to die?
00:47:02.000And the issue is, I think when it comes to actual conflict with death on the line, you're not thinking about whether you're gonna die or not, you're thinking about what the fight is.
00:47:11.000Tim Ballard was saying that when he gets in the moment, all it is is the mission, the activity, there's no fear, and then afterwards is when PTSD kicks in and you feel all the fear that you would have been feeling as a civilian in that situation.
00:47:24.000If you're in a situation like that, like a combat situation, and you're trained, the thing you're thinking about is the stuff you have to do.
00:47:33.000Because that, like, that's the stuff that's gonna save your life, right?
00:47:36.000Like, there is a right way, there's a correct way to respond to things that happen.
00:47:41.000So there's a correct way to respond to an L-shaped ambush, right?
00:47:45.000And if everybody does what they're supposed to do, most of the people that get ambushed will survive.
00:47:52.000Not everybody, but most of the people.
00:47:54.000You have to know what you're supposed to do for the specific situation you're in, which is why training's so important.
00:48:01.000Like, when I talk about, like, I'm not in the military and I and I don't do any kind of like stuff like that in real life, but like I still carry a gun so I go and train at least once a year and I talk about training all the time and I dry fire because if you're going to have a gun or be in that kind of situation, if it comes up, you're going to be thinking about what is my training.
00:48:23.000You're going to default to the lowest level of training and and everything is what that's what you're focused on.
00:48:29.000The whole world is focused on the training, so.
00:48:31.000Cenoski, did you want to add anything?
00:49:40.000So my question for all y'all is, with all the talk about civil war and friendly divorce, what are your thoughts about if we just broke up into many smaller states with the idea being that, you know, we fought a war because we didn't want to be controlled by people who live far away that don't share our culture values.
00:50:00.000But like, for example, here on Eastern Long Island, it's very right-wing, it's very red, very libertarian, very, you know, but we live under the boot of people that live five hours away that don't share anything with us culturally.
00:50:14.000Sounds like American revolutionary sentiment.
00:50:20.000Well, I'm hoping that maybe it could be peaceful if we just broke, like New York could break up into four states, and if you like living under progressive values, you can live in the city, but if you don't, it's easier to move.
00:50:36.000There's never going to be an instance where the wealthy people in New York let their slaves leave.
00:50:42.000And that means that any kind of referendum in your jurisdiction will result in them saying, this is an illegal referendum and it's thrown in the garbage.
00:50:49.000And if people on Eastern Long Island start filing petitions with their councils, their committees, their state senators or whatever, and they formally declare secession, then you will get state troops coming in and arresting those people.
00:51:03.000In the event, somehow, the structure of a single state breaks down, you'll have resource wars.
00:51:09.000Because there are people who are going to be in New York City who are dependent upon some kind of resource or product that comes from Eastern Long Island that they're used to getting, that is no longer part of their routine.
00:51:21.000So, as for the states, the big issue primarily is the wealthy benefactors will not let their slaves leave.
00:51:29.000And the federal government will always defend, especially with New York, the wealthy elites.
00:51:34.000The ultra-rich in New York who are basking in the glories and riches of their slaves in other parts of the state.
00:51:41.000Ain't never gonna let you go, and they will get help from the National Guard or whoever they need to.
00:51:45.000You'll get some leader who's gonna be like, we filed the paper, we got all the signatures, and we hereby have the legal process by which we will now file lawsuit, and we will win, and we will break apart our region from the state to create a new state, and then what'll happen is he'll get mugged.
00:52:02.000He'll be walking down the street, and then he'll be found dead.
00:52:04.000And they'll be like, that's strange, they didn't take his wallet, but just a mugging.
00:52:07.000Ain't no way they're gonna let that happen.
00:52:08.000What about the idea of how the United States started?
00:52:10.000We're supposed to be like 50 independent nations, you know, the federal government has really grown too big, but what about that idea of the 50 individual states?
00:52:19.000The Confederate States of America failed.
00:52:20.000They had no enforcement authority, and they were weak, and this resulted in, uh, what, uh, 13 years after, uh, well, I guess this is technically six years after the Treaty of, uh, I think it's the Treaty of Paris, which, uh, resulted in the independent nation of the United States.
00:52:35.000They were like, hey, this idea of a loose network of states that do their own thing is failing.
00:52:40.000And so they, and some argue through bullshit means, created a new government, which is the United States.
00:52:47.000It used to be the Articles of Confederation.
00:52:52.000There were, you know, the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, and there was an argument over the centralized power will result in another king, just like we already had.
00:52:58.000And so it was, I think the Anti-Federalists were the ones who got the Bill of Rights made, basically saying, okay, fine, we'll agree to this so long as we are guaranteed these rights and you can't fuck with us.
00:53:10.000And then you got this compromise which led to a stronger federal government and control.
00:53:15.000And that's why I think what Washington, was it 1889?
00:53:17.0001789 is when the Constitution was ratified, yeah.
00:53:23.000Well, but, uh, so when Washington became president, he served as- That's when- I think that's when the United States- 1798.
00:53:44.000Uh, because they were like, yo, these articles of confederation don't work.
00:53:47.000So a lot of people keep saying this stuff that we should go back to states' rights and individual rights.
00:53:51.000To a certain degree, I do agree with that.
00:53:53.000But consider what that means when it comes to abortion.
00:53:56.000It means that Colorado can say, this is not human life, and Oklahoma can say, this is human life.
00:54:01.000And now you've got a really serious fucked up problem for people who live close to the- on the border of those states, when each state determines that you are or are not worthy of constitutional rights.
00:54:11.000If the federal government says we guarantee these rights to humans, but states are allowed to determine who is human and who is not, y'all are about to go into a fucking civil war or something.
00:54:19.000It's just, that's a huge component of the first one.
00:54:23.000So, a lot of people talk about peaceful divorce, it's not possible.
00:54:30.000Right now we've got states that want water from other states.
00:54:32.000California's dependent upon Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, etc.
00:54:36.000If there's no agreement at a higher level, then they just start shooting each other.
00:54:43.000I mean I don't mean peaceful divorce like what I mean is like how if we broke up into smaller states we could have more local control still be part of the United States it's just like we could have a hundred states we would just have more stars on the flag but I agree we would have more of a sense of Controlling our neighbors, our government, are the people that are within a closer radius, which means they usually match our cultural morals and beliefs better.
00:55:14.000That doesn't change the fact that you have two warring factions in one country.
00:55:20.000Yeah, it doesn't matter how many states you have.
00:55:22.000And I gotta ask, if we were to do as you described and many people have suggested would say like the state of Jefferson or greater Idaho, it results in more Republican control, which would then create pressures on the left who are already violent lunatics.
00:55:37.000And it would just exacerbate risk of conflict.
00:55:40.000So that's why I'm like, it's got to be a cultural victory.
00:55:43.000And I think I think we're seeing all of that happen.
00:55:47.000Yeah, because I know a couple of years ago Long Island made a push for breaking away because we're the only part of the state that pays more in taxes than we get in benefits from the state.
00:56:00.000Like New York City, they pay a lot more in taxes, but they're also a much bigger burden on the state
00:56:06.000government because of their crime and homeless and all of that.
00:56:10.000And then upstate, they don't pay as much in taxes because their property values are lower,
00:56:15.000but they also use very few resources compared to the city.
00:56:19.000And then out here in Long Island, we're kind of in the worst of both worlds,
00:56:23.000where we pay a lot in taxes because our property values are high, but we're pretty
00:56:27.000independent-minded, self-sufficient people, so we don't use the kind of benefits
00:57:19.000I do think it's a good idea if we weren't on the verge of serious conflict, but where we are now, I don't know where this goes, and I don't know how you get something like that passed.
00:57:32.000I just want to make a quick point about what you were just talking about, how people forget that the Revolutionary War took a lot longer than they thought.
00:57:39.000And, you know, working in pediatrics, I have a lot of people come and say, oh, well, I'm, you know, I'm afraid to have children in this kind of environment.
00:57:54.000And what I like to point out to them is it's very often the children that are raised under those situations that turn out to be the ones that get us out of it.
00:58:04.000Like, it was the children that were born in the U.S.
00:58:07.000and grew up under, well, born in, you know, the colonies and grew up under the tyranny that 20 years later became the young men that shed blood and fought in the Revolutionary War.
00:58:20.000It wasn't that a bunch of adults came over here from England and then a year later said, oh, we don't like this.
00:58:35.000And that's what I see a lot with like, you know, I have a 14 year old son and that's what I see so much with this generation is like, they're going to be the ones to get us all out of this.
00:58:44.000They are so, you know, a lot more than we give them credit for.
00:59:39.000And we're gonna be discussing, uh, it's supposed to be discussing, you know, modern video games and GamerGate, but I guess Brianna Wu has tweeted that she wants to debate Civil War and stuff, which I'm always excited to and open to, considering it's exactly what we're talking about right now.
