00:06:21.000John Pierre basically confirmed that yes, there was misinformation surrounding the Disinformation Governance Board that a lot of people had slammed it.
00:07:51.000I said I thought her singing was good because it's not political She was just doing a bit and she was like, I want to be famous and then Ian was like no She's got her shoulders up and tight.
00:07:59.000She's not singing from the chest She doesn't know what she's doing and I'm like which is hilarious cuz like usually Ian goes easier on people Even when they say things politically that we very much disagree with but she's singing wrong He's like no, this is absolutely not like we can understand he took theater.
00:08:11.000He was like I am offended by I studied theater for pretty much my entire life, and I actually thought that it was kind of cute that she was into doing performance art, even though she had this weird government career.
00:08:23.000I didn't have an issue with that singing.
00:08:26.000I did have an issue with her COVID misinformation Mary Poppins song.
00:08:32.000It's weird how when we were young, the adults who were writing books about this stuff, when we weren't even alive, the books that were coming out were like, the future dystopia.
00:08:43.000Men have steel jaws from the war and metal limbs and cyborgs rule all and the government comes and bangs a giant sword in the ground.
00:09:48.000So I went to the grocery store, I grabbed a thing of cookie dough, I bought it, started eating it, and some little kid saw me and he went, As he walked, as I walked past me, it gets better.
00:09:58.000And I'm like, I looked at him and I was like, I'm like, that's right.
00:10:25.000That would be funny, too, because, like, the left thinks James O'Keefe is just, like, the king of disinformation and manipulation, and the right calls Nina Jankowicz the minister of truth.
00:10:36.000So, like, Romeo and Juliet with James O'Keefe and Nina Jankowicz.
00:10:52.000So here's my serious question, though, is when you look at the DHS Disinformation Board and you look at Nina Jankowik's, they literally put a child in charge of the Department of Homeland Security.
00:11:02.000And the issue is the adults People who are more mature and more understanding aren't in these jobs.
00:11:08.000Well, what they did was they put a fool in charge of the Department of Homeland Security.
00:11:46.000And as they're doing it, Nina Jankiewicz presses a button.
00:11:48.000And then the whole stage like goes down into a sub base where it's like, they walk into the generals like we've increased your funding by $3 billion.
00:11:54.000And the whole thing was just disinformation.
00:11:57.000No, they're going, the misinformation board's going out of business!
00:12:51.000What if a journalist, you know, Donald Trump said, you know, this will cost X amount of dollars, and they're like, how does that make sense?
00:13:18.000Do you think it was to appeal to anyone, or do you think it was just to try to shut people up?
00:13:21.000Well, what they were actually trying to do, if you look at what their documentation says in the first place, their goal was to dispel disinformation outside of the U.S.
00:13:33.000No, no, like about immigration and stuff.
00:13:36.000So months and months ago, the White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, had talked about how one of the Biden administration's plans to get people to stop trying to come to the U.S.
00:13:46.000illegally was to give proper information in those locales to tell them like actually don't come so I think this was part of that effort that was sort of the idea but there's so little goodwill for the Biden administration at this point They spread all kinds of ridiculous misinformation and disinformation that coming out with something like this, they had no chance.
00:14:13.000If they had come out and said, this is part of our plan to get immigrants to not come to the U.S., we're going to tell them not to come, and gave it some sort of name like that, it would have been much better received, I think, because a lot of people would like there to be more security at the border.
00:14:30.000Yeah, well, I mean, their entire regime depends upon spreading misinformation, right?
00:14:33.000When they came out and were saying things like, the reason we have higher prices is because store owners are greedy.
00:14:40.000And it's Putin's fault that we have high gas prices.
00:14:43.000I mean- Joe Biden said that to tackle inflation, we're going to make the corporations, or what do you say, make the rich- Make the rich pay more taxes.
00:14:51.000And then Peter Doocy was like, how does making rich people pay more taxes lower inflation?
00:14:55.000Well, that counters all of their arguments about how rich people don't... They also say rich people don't stimulate spending, they just hoard all the money.
00:15:01.000So, by that logic, taxing them could never curb inflation.
00:15:04.000My favorite is that Joe Biden launched his campaign off of misinformation.
00:15:07.000And also, they want to... The Charlottesville stuff.
00:15:31.000Yeah, it's pretty sad, but it's pathetic.
00:15:33.000It's just that this is a regime which repeatedly says things that are verifiably untrue.
00:15:39.000I mean, we're not just talking about a situation where someone might be using facts which are true to construct a narrative that we disagree with.
00:15:45.000Like, saying that businesses are raising their prices just because of corporate greed is an unbelievably insane and easily falsifiable thing to say.
00:15:55.000Did businesses just get greedy after we flooded the economy with extra money?
00:16:21.000Also, it's interesting that the Biden administration is currently looking to reduce sanctions on Venezuela in order to gain oil exports from that country, as though Venezuela is some perfectly fine place.
00:16:50.000So we got this story from the Washington Post, how the Biden administration let right-wing attacks derail its disinformation efforts.
00:16:58.000I don't understand why the Washington Post doesn't label this stuff opinion, and I don't understand why NewsGuard gives them a 100 of 100 when they don't label opinion.
00:17:07.000In it, she says right here that disinformation has emerged as an urgent and important issue.
00:17:20.000It is Taylor Loren's opinion on what happened.
00:17:23.000So anyway, in the article, she falsely claims it was right-wing disinformation that derailed it when Bill Maher on his show came out and said, this is ridiculous, these are not bright people, what are they doing?
00:17:35.000Bill Maher, one of the most prominent liberal voices, said this is bad, but it was all the right wing.
00:18:40.000What's interesting, though, is that she's claiming that we dug up Nina Jankowicz's past social media posts and published articles to generate controversy.
00:19:29.000This is what Glenn Greenwald pointed out.
00:19:31.000He said, according to Taylor Lorenz, you are not allowed to dig into the private information of high-ranking Homeland Security officials, but it's okay to go after an anonymous person who has bad ideas.
00:19:58.000Because that was the first time when it was acceptable to just start telling tales out of school about somebody's bad date.
00:20:04.000I think I think I view journalists like mini-me like Dr. Evil is the government and mini-me is just like, you know, well, I mean you made this point That's always what they've done.
00:20:14.000I agree with you that it's it's always been very much corrupt I mean the mainstream media in this country has been as it been a disaster for a lot longer than people realize but it's the going after like everyday average random people thing which is is very strange and and Yeah, there are creepy weirdo authoritarians running most of our institutions.
00:20:36.000When you look at the Supreme Court leaks, these crackpots, these people, are in everything.
00:20:45.000They have no regard for tradition or culture.
00:20:50.000And I'm not saying all tradition, all culture.
00:20:52.000I'm saying they have no regard for community.
00:20:54.000They have no regard for any kind of norms, respect.
00:20:58.000I imagine they have their moral compass, their moral foundation, sorry.
00:21:25.000I think Taylor Lorenz is the perfect example of a modern shock jock.
00:21:31.000I think, based on conversations I've had with people in the industry, it seems to me, it's my opinion, that she was hired specifically to generate outrage and controversy by writing shock content that is bordering on defamation.
00:21:45.000The goal being, why are we talking about the Washington Post now?
00:21:50.000Because she writes something that's a clear opinion, not labeled as opinion, knowing it'll anger a lot of people.
00:21:55.000She accuses only the right, ignores Bill Maher, which will clearly, the right will be like, hey, you can't say, that's not true and you're wrong.
00:22:02.000And then shows will produce segments where we'll talk about her, it will generate earned press, and that's what they want.
00:22:12.000I'm trying to get better confirmation.
00:22:14.000But my understanding is that the people at the Post are well aware of it.
00:22:18.000That there are veteran journalists who throw up in their mouths a little bit every day because they're sickened by what the paper has become.
00:22:25.000Because they know she was brought on specifically as a shock jock.
00:22:28.000As a culture warrior shock jock to generate scandal.
00:22:32.000Well, and she does, and then she goes on TV and cries about it when people don't like what she writes.
00:22:35.000For better or worse, I think reporting's always had this issue where people have been activists, but the more I get involved and the more I pay attention to the news, the more I realize that it's almost everybody that's an activist reporter nowadays.
00:22:46.000It's hard to find anybody who isn't really just trying to back up their priors.
00:22:49.000This is extremely true with Taylor Renz, but she's not the only one.
00:24:15.000I think the institutions are in decay.
00:24:18.000I think that the culture war is split between those in the know and those who are not in the know.
00:24:23.000It has nothing to do with your political positions because I think everyone here has varying political positions we all disagree with each other on because we've had these conversations before to a great degree including foreign war or abortion but we all agree on Basically, what's the fact?
00:24:38.000And so, if that's what unites this table and the people watching, we're like, okay, what's true and what's not true?
00:24:49.000And then the other side of the culture war are people who have no idea the Democrats tried to create, make a legal path towards third trimester or, you know, late term abortions.
00:25:32.000It's saying don't teach them about weird sex acts in school.
00:25:36.000It literally, when they were all screaming gay over and over again, I'm like, imagine being in a daycare and all the kids are yelling neener, neener.
00:26:41.000You know, it's disinformation that Joe Biden says that the best course forward is gender affirmation, telling parents to affirm their children and it will save their lives.
00:28:39.000Well, isn't it funny how like it's a bunch of accounts with people who we know are not the actual person following an account that we know is not being tweeted by the actual person either.
00:28:47.000It's like Joe Biden's not running the Twitter account.
00:29:36.000I mean, you know, and, and, you know, being a journalist and seeing Trump just tweet random things was really a lot of fun.
00:29:46.000You could get like a whole bunch of stories to talk about what Trump was saying on Twitter.
00:29:50.000I was told by corporate journalists that it was violence.
00:29:55.000That every day, there were journalists at news organizations who were told, your job is to keep refreshing Trump's Twitter feed, and then when he says something, write it up.
00:30:08.000And they were saying it was violence, his tweets?
00:30:10.000They were saying that it was, like, stressful, and that they needed, like, you know, health days, that once he lost the election, they were like, finally, it's over.
00:30:19.000They were like, like, I'm crying tears of joy, like, I can go back to normal working now, no more stress.
00:30:26.000They were saying how they would get text messages at 2 in the morning from their boss, being like, Trump just tweeted, write it up, and they'd be like, ahhh!
00:31:00.000They said something about all of my friends who are going on vacation their summer plans
00:31:05.000and you know i'm stuck here with the kids and i'm and i'm just like
00:31:08.000I don't understand if he's I don't know if he's complaining or if he's like
00:31:13.000I don't understand what he's trying to say.
00:31:15.000But the conversation was basically, like, the, uh, the dinks, the dual-income, no-kids people were, like, going to travel and party and live in the good life.
00:31:22.000And it's, like... I don't... You know what I don't get?
00:31:59.000Yeah, because it almost sounds like you say you don't want to live forever because we don't have the opportunity to and I'm saying that to make myself feel better about it.
00:32:06.000You know, what's funny is I have this same debate with my son, who is 12, and we talk about whether or not you'd want to live forever.
00:32:11.000And I'm always like, yeah, you'd want to live forever.
00:32:26.000The issue is after, you know, a good 30 years, you're like, I understand humans.
00:32:33.000I don't think there's anything you know, I mean maybe maybe you'll watch I don't want to live forever Maybe you'll watch technology develop and then you'll get to the point where you can plug your brain to the matrix or something But I'm just like I would I would rather in the human experience is the human experience I don't understand what's a bad thing that people want a bad thing.
00:32:48.000I mean, it's just well I don't understand why it's gonna be avoided.
00:32:51.000I don't think I actually avoided either personally.
00:32:53.000I look forward to being old But if there were the opportunity to live further, that would be cool.
00:32:58.000I'd like to live to be like 150, something like that.
00:33:02.000Remember when Johnny Knoxville dressed up like an old man and just caused trouble?
00:33:06.000It's because people are like, he's an old guy.
00:33:45.000I think Donald Trump was probably thinking that.
00:33:47.000Talking about kids and stuff, I look forward to the summer because I have to travel a lot for work and I'm looking forward to the summer because I'm going to take my son with me to all of the places that I have to go.
00:34:23.000The person standing at the podium is actually a bot.
00:34:25.000If you look at the ridiculous things that his account tweets out, it's just so stupid.
00:34:29.000It would be really funny if just like one day when Joe was like stuttering, a guy walked up with like a screwdriver and like bopped him on the arm and then like jiggled him and then he was like, the economy has been in dire straits for some time.
00:34:40.000It's like, percussive maintenance, I think they call it.
00:35:28.000It's really terrifying to see someone who is as dotty and confused as this old man is actually try to lead the entire world, essentially, which is the job.
00:35:40.000I mean, the fact that the Democratic Party even picked him, like they had other options.
00:36:51.000It's substantially to the left of what it used to be.
00:36:54.000And you can tell because people like Elon Musk are going to vote Republican after a lifetime of voting Democrat.
00:37:00.000I'm essentially a conservative because the Democrats have gone so far to the left and I stayed right here and the Republicans came over and I was like, oh hey fellas.
00:37:09.000No, it's true, and I hear so many people say that.
00:37:12.000The only time I've ever heard someone say something along the lines of, I'm on the left just because the Republican Party's gone so far right, is when they're on corporate media, and they're some rhino.
00:37:41.000I'm super conflicted on Elon Musk continuing to, like, evolve and put his hands more into politics because he's going to be another billionaire, potentially funding candidates in the future.
00:37:52.000He might be another Peter Thiel type figure in the future.
00:37:55.000So it'll be interesting to see how he changes and develops.
00:37:58.000But I am highly I wonder why he would fund any politicians.
00:38:43.000Sure, but he's kind of become a hero in some online anti-left circles because he is a big voice willing to come out against these people.
00:38:50.000And it seems as though all you have to do nowadays to get a lot of fans on Twitter is say the obvious that men can't become women or something like that.
00:38:57.000So it's just, I think people ought to be cautious who they end up supporting being reactionaries against others.
00:39:03.000But if you think about saying men can't become women on Twitter a month ago, that would have gotten you banned from the platform.
00:39:20.000And someone reported me, and I got an email from Twitter, and it was like, you've been reported under German law or whatever, and we found no violation.
00:39:27.000Whenever I tweet stuff like this, people are like, oh, Tim's gonna get banned now, and I'm like, are you kidding, dude?
00:39:31.000I got a million followers, they're not gonna ban me.
00:39:33.000Well, the Babylon Bee got banned for saying that Rachel Levine, who's obviously a man, is a man.
00:39:38.000That's because Twitter's policy is if you target an individual.
00:39:43.000Yeah, so if you say a generality, then they give you more leeway.
00:39:47.000If you have a small account, like 100 followers, and you say, you know, men and women are different or something, they'll ban you.
00:39:52.000If you have a big account, like the Babylon Beans said, men are different, they'd leave you alone, but they said Rachel Levine specifically.
00:39:57.000Is it too cliche to say that double mastectomies are modern day lobotomies, almost, in a way?
00:40:03.000Well, they don't, they don't remove your brain.
00:40:05.000They don't remove the same thing, but just as we look at back on lobotomies now, sort of medical malpractice is how in the future we would look back on these sort of surgeries.
00:40:13.000It's certainly an anti-mother operation.
00:40:23.000I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to deviate too far from what we were talking about because we are going to talk about this in just a second.
00:40:37.000I'm not totally sold, and it's absolutely true.
00:40:40.000All someone has to say is, I'm not completely all the way on the far left with respect to one single issue, or I think the left has gone too far here, and all of a sudden the right wing is all over that person.
00:40:50.000Yeah, and there's also a lot of parallels between Elon Musk and somebody who's commonly demonized, Bill Gates.
00:40:55.000I mean, these are both people who had their come-ups in the tech industry.
00:40:59.000And some of the stuff Elon Musk says is crazier than what Bill Gates says.
00:41:09.000They're both, you know, the richest people that existed during their time period, during the top.
00:41:13.000But Bill Gates gets demonized like no other, and Elon Musk becomes a hero of the same people.
00:41:17.000The same people who will complain about Bill Gates being some demonic, you know, cabal man will praise Elon Musk for the simplest things on Twitter.
00:41:25.000Sure, but I want to mention one thing about that.
00:41:26.000That's the Broadway show, though, if I may.
00:41:39.000To your point, I hear in, but so the reason I consider myself cautiously optimistic about Elon Musk, but I don't like Bill Gates comes down to really one really important issue.
00:41:49.000It's that Bill Gates has repeatedly said things like there are too many people in this world.
00:41:52.000He's discussed population control, whereas Elon Musk is basically the only ultra wealthy person saying we need more people.
00:41:59.000And that's why the overpopulation narrative is a myth.
00:42:06.000But I think it's gotten to the point where there are so few elites saying anything even remotely sane that when one of them does, it's a victory.
00:42:23.000With connections with Planned Parenthood.
00:42:24.000But I still think, you know, if you want to extrapolate what Elon Musk says with the brain chips, it's just as bad as anything I think Bill Gates has said.
00:42:31.000In particular, so it's just I think it's an interesting thing how I Think he said about neural link.
00:42:40.000Yeah, so neural link is I mean, it's a pretty fascinating tool and if it's used properly I think it would really help people who are disabled Okay, fascinating.
00:43:23.000And Elon Musk has said, we actually need more people to sustain the planet.
00:43:26.000And people should have freedom of speech.
00:43:28.000Now, the things they work on, we can criticize.
00:43:31.000But when we're specifically talking about Elon and things we like, it's for the things we like.
00:43:35.000And when we criticize him, it's for the things we don't like.
00:43:37.000And the end result, I believe, is Supporting freedom of speech and defending the rights of humans, or saying people are good and we need more of them, will probably create a better outcome in the long run, no matter what he works on in terms of Neuralink.
00:43:50.000Bill Gates saying the opposite is darkness, that will lead us on a very dark path of death and suffering.
00:43:57.000Yeah, I actually totally agree with that.
00:43:59.000And I do, I do like this idea that we need more people because we need people to support the people that already exist and we need to create more resources.
00:44:10.000And human beings are the best resource the planet has.
00:44:13.000I don't completely agree that, you know, we've talked about overpopulation and there are a lot of people who say, actually, let me try and find Google Earth.
00:44:23.000There are a lot of people who say that we're not overpopulated.
00:44:29.000That's an opinion I think you guys have, right?
00:44:31.000Have you ever looked at a map of the United States?
00:44:45.000When you look at, pull up, we've got Google Earth here.
00:44:47.000When you say development, I mean like when you see pictures of at night, you see where the lights are.
00:44:51.000Humans altering terrain, doesn't matter where the lights are.
00:44:53.000Grab Illinois for instance, and when you zoom in, basically the entirety of the state has been developed.
00:44:58.000There's some pockets of trees in some state parks, but you can just go straight through the state in any direction, and every little square is human development.
00:45:09.000So I'm not saying that's bad, but I'm certainly saying when the entirety of Illinois or other states are completely developed, overpopulation is something that I think we should discuss or entertain.
00:45:21.000Well, shouldn't we then people maybe should move to other places?
00:45:27.000We've taken the land and we've cut it and developed it to produce a certain thing.
00:45:32.000So perhaps we can say maybe we're not overpopulated, but we're overproducing.
00:45:38.000We are utilizing massive swaths of millions of acres or whatever to produce all this food and all these resources that we're consuming like crazy.
00:45:50.000Maybe if humans consumed less, we might not have to worry about overdevelopment.
00:45:54.000We're shipping in fertilizer from Europe.
00:45:57.000Norman Borlaug has increased crop yield, but nutrient density has diminished substantially.
00:46:02.000So I think, as much as I respect Elon Musk saying things like more people is better than less people, because when you say less people, really bad things happen.
00:46:11.000I think we should try and make sure we're having a legitimate conversation.
00:46:13.000Maybe I'm wrong, but I can point to a few things that I think at least would need to be questioned, like the bug population collapses, the dead zones in the ocean, fishery collapse, and mass pollution.
00:46:33.000So I think you hit the nail on the head with that last statement.
00:46:36.000My issue with the idea of this being an overpopulation issue, framing the narrative that way, is that you are, with that framing, indicating what the solution has to be in your mind, so it's circular.
00:46:46.000If you say we have an overpopulation problem, then what you're effectively saying is the solution is for there to be less people.
00:46:54.000But if you point out the way you did, that there are issues such as, you know, insect populations declining, if that's the case, or pollution, then we ask the question, how can we deal with these problems?
00:47:06.000And there's no reason to believe the solution is to get rid of people or have less people.
00:47:27.000So you have people who are morbidly obese, and instead of being like, maybe I should consume less, they're like, this is fine, actually.
00:47:33.000Let's get on the cover of a magazine and tell everyone else to live this way, too.
00:47:37.000I think we have a parenting problem as well because I think that parents don't teach their children to be responsible either for themselves or for others and I think that that is a key thing to do.
00:47:46.000Like children, you know, stop worrying about what college your kids are going to go to or what career they're going to have and instead teach your kids to grow up to be kind, responsible people who can take care of themselves and the people that they love.
00:48:07.000Yeah, I mean, I saw a post not long ago, and you see a lot of this from people saying things like, you know, so much of our life is dedicated to work.
00:48:15.000And I do believe that at some point people can be overworked 100%, and that's a problem.
00:48:22.000They were saying things along the lines of, you know, the only thing meaningful about my life is when I'm off work.
00:48:27.000And I think a lot of that is, firstly, an issue with the kinds of jobs people have now.
00:48:31.000There's a good argument to be made for that.
00:48:33.000But also that no one finds any value in the service of others, and people don't take any pride in doing things that make other people's lives easier.
00:48:43.000But the other thing too is that we have completely diminished the value of just doing work.
00:48:48.000I mean, if there's a job worth doing, and this is cliche, but there's a reason it's cliche, if there's a job worth doing, it's worth doing as well as you possibly can.
00:48:56.000You know, there was recently, I forget what it was, but sometimes there'll be like an article at work and I'm going to be writing it.
00:49:02.000at Postmillennial and sometimes I think like you know I don't really feel like writing this and then I think okay if you don't feel like writing it clearly you're missing something clearly you're missing some aspect of this story go figure it out do some research investigate it find out the interesting part of it and then write it and whenever that happens oddly those end up being my best pieces the ones where I'm not sure at first and I'm just kind of like and then I dig into it and I'm like oh that's actually fascinating and now I have a great piece We were talking about transitions a moment ago, so I wanted to hold off because we have a story here, actually.
00:49:35.000This is a tweet from Colin Wright, good friend of the show, and it's actually just a repost of an Instagram post from a female amateur skateboarder.
00:49:43.000He says, Female skateboarder Taylor Silverman is speaking out after placing second to a male competitor who identifies as a woman at the Red Bull Cornerstone contest.
00:49:52.000Silverman and other female skateboarders were robbed of their achievements and prize money that was meant for women.
00:49:58.000In the post made on Instagram, Taylor Silverman said, My name is Taylor Silverman.
00:50:03.000I have been skateboarding for 11 years and competing for several years.
00:50:07.000I have been in three different contests with trans women, two of which I placed second and the last contest series I did for Red Bull, I placed second.
00:50:15.000The trans competitor who won took $1,000 in the qualifiers, $3,000 in finals, and $1,000 in best trick.
00:50:19.000$3,000 in finals and $1,000 in best trick. This totaled $5,000.
00:50:24.000Of the prize money meant for female athletes.
00:50:27.000I took $1,000 in qualifiers in 1750 for second place, so $2,750 in total. The girl who took third received $750. The
00:50:36.000girl who deserved a thousand for best trick took nothing along with whoever would have placed third. I deserved to
00:50:43.000place first, be acknowledged for my win, and get paid.
00:50:46.000I reached out to Red Bull and was ignored. I am sick of being bullied into silence.
00:50:51.000In the next post, Taylor Silverman posted the email sent to Red Bull, saying, If not, hopefully you can put me in contact with the correct person.
00:51:00.000to express my concerns about what occurred at the Red Bull Cornerstone contest
00:51:03.000with the transgender competitor in the women's division.
00:51:07.000If not, hopefully you can put me in contact with the correct person.
00:51:10.000A biological man with a clear advantage won the women's division,
00:51:13.000best trick, and also multiple qualifiers.
00:51:16.000This took away the opportunity that was meant for women to place and earn money.
00:51:20.000What happened was unfair, and at the time, I was too uncomfortable to speak up.
00:51:25.000I understand that in today's society even some women think this is acceptable, but I believe in doing the right thing, even if it's not the popular thing.
00:51:31.000I now realize it's really important for me to speak up, and I'd like to schedule a time to talk.
00:51:37.000So I have announced that, uh, I got my math wrong, but, um, I have announced, I said Tim Cass will gladly cover the difference and grant Taylor Silverman the $2,250 difference lost to placing behind a male athlete.
00:51:50.000We will also be willing to cover the total lost revenue for the female athletes who would have placed higher were it not for the male athlete.
00:52:41.000When I saw this, knowing what I know from skateboarding for 23 years, knowing about the physical elements, knowing about the physics, Taylor Silverman is absolutely correct, and let me make this point before we get into the bigger picture.
00:52:57.000Some people have said, in response to me, we had our good friend the Amazing Atheist said women should compete in the women's division.
00:53:03.000I responded to Colin Wright saying that men, males, have a higher center of gravity.
00:53:08.000What this means is that from a standing position, a man can ollie higher, a male can ollie higher than a female.
00:53:15.000Females carry the center of gravity lower, which is better for balance in a lot of ways, but means their ollie height, their jump height, will be lower.
00:53:21.000There are very clear differences and advantages that males will have regardless of hormone replacement therapy.
00:53:28.000Skateboarding is not a muscle-based sport where it's like the stronger you are, the better you can be.
00:53:32.000There's aggression, there's grit, like your willingness to take risks, and it's very much control.
00:53:40.000If you have a higher center of gravity, you're going to be able to clear higher obstacles.
00:53:45.000Women also have what's called a more pronounced Q angle.
00:53:49.000Meaning, because of the wide hips, the femur and the quadriceps come at a harsher angle than a male would, regardless of hormone replacement therapy.
00:53:57.000This means that biological females competing at any stage are gonna be more prone to leg injuries, knee injuries, ankle injuries.
00:54:04.000A clear advantage for male athletes, regardless of if they're transitioning or not.
00:54:08.000So this one, to me, I think needs, you know, I'm biased, obviously.
00:54:17.000I think it's important to talk about, and I think it's important that people like Taylor Silverman are speaking out and saying, you know, I think this is not fair.
00:54:23.000Now, the crazy element is her post on Instagram has something like, last I checked, 11,000 comments.
00:54:38.000Right, and these are the leftists who hate Israel, who believe in these weird conspiracy theories, like the Farrakhan stuff, and are now going after her and attacking her for being Jewish, simply because she said this is money that was meant for female athletes.
00:54:52.000Yeah, I mean, look, the left doesn't care about these things that they claim to when they talk about, like, racism, sexism, homophobia.
00:54:58.000In fact, despite their vitriol, they don't even really care about the transgender issue.
00:55:02.000They just try to use these labels to accuse anyone they think it would be useful to get out of the public discussion.
00:55:10.000And when it comes to their attacks on other people, they're almost always willing to resort to these labels, but it's never talked about, right?
00:56:00.000But then once you get down to something like a competition where the differences are obvious, we're going to be seeing more and more cases like this.
00:56:09.000Yeah, and women's rights activists know about this.
00:56:12.000Women's rights activists can clearly see Um, that showing the unfairness of men competing against women in women's sports could be the turning point needed.
00:56:22.000I want to give a shout out real quick to Taylor Silverman.
00:56:25.000You can follow her on Instagram, TaylorMaySilverman.
00:56:28.000And on Twitter, I believe her Twitter is TMSilverman.
00:56:33.000But specifically because she posted on Instagram this.
00:56:36.000Truth sounds like hate to those who hate the truth.
00:56:40.000Many people in her position didn't stand, like for the Lee Thomas, there was no woman who actually stood up so he could commend her.
00:58:01.000He said, uh, women should compete in the women's division.
00:58:04.000And then I, it's, it's, it's absurd to me that you're having a semantic argument.
00:58:09.000For what reason did we create women's division sports?
00:58:12.000Was it because sometimes people wear dresses?
00:58:15.000No, it's because there are biological differences to a great degree, 90% of the time, to a great degree, between males and females.
00:58:23.000And the colloquial understanding in human society was that man and woman meant male and female.
00:58:28.000In fact, to most people today, it still does.
00:58:31.000So when someone says, a trans woman is a woman, therefore should compete in the women's division, it's like, We didn't create the women's division based on the clothing you wear.
00:59:03.000In fact, I believe it's a CEO who is gender fluid and some days wears pencil skirts and some days wears trousers and was honored as like, you know, best woman CEO or something like that.
00:59:19.000So playing both sides for the day when he was in the pencil skirt one of the
00:59:24.000difficulties for anyone to speak up is that they're speaking out against people they know and that's a big
00:59:30.000component that I think a lot of People should understand so I know many pro skateboarders
00:59:34.000For years. I have been told by many pro skateboarders. They're upset with what's happening
00:59:50.000But I will say, I wanted to add something to this.
00:59:53.000Uh, there is an issue at play here, and it is a pro skateboarder that I have met and skated with on a couple occasions, who's friends with people I know, named Leo Baker.
01:00:02.000Uh, Leo Baker is a non-binary, I believe.
01:00:06.000Formerly, I believe, trans man, and before that was a top female athlete named Lacey Baker.
01:00:13.000And I mean no disrespect, but I have questions.
01:00:17.000And that question is, when Leo was competing as a female in the women's division as Lacey Baker and winning, Lacey transitions into Leo, says that they're trans, but continues to compete against women.
01:00:34.000So my problem is, who is coming out and saying that Taylor Silverman is wrong, When she says this, why is it that a biological male can say that they now identify as a woman and compete against women, but a biological female can say I am now trans but still compete against women?
01:00:52.000It's because everyone knows that it's fake.
01:00:54.000Everyone is aware of the lie and we're supposed to just Deal with the fact that we know it's a lie and say something that is untrue, which is exactly what happens, which is literally what happens in the book.
01:01:05.0001984 is that you're supposed to know that, you know, you, you believe you believe the truth and you speak the lie.
01:01:12.000And that is the most dangerous aspect of this.
01:01:15.000What I want to add to, sorry, just because, um, when I saw this story, I saw Colin Wright's tweet that Taylor spoke out.
01:01:26.000Look, Taylor is not somebody who is a prominent pro skateboarder with millions of followers who can risk speaking out and be rich.
01:01:35.000These pro skateboarders who tell me they can't speak out, I'm like, you own how many houses?
01:01:59.000Silverman here and I hope that, you know, I hope that you guys work out a great situation and that she's able to be, you know, continue being successful in her chosen path.
01:02:10.000When we saw Leah Thomas swimming in the pool against women, we could all see that it was completely a total lie that this person should be competing against these much shorter, much smaller, much less strong women.
01:02:24.000And we were just supposed to go along with it anyway.
01:02:29.000And I think that the more this happens and the more we see women athletes start to speak out, The more, hopefully, the tide will shift on this.
01:02:37.000And, you know, Beth Stelzer, who does Save Women Sports, who's a really fascinating person, who saw this happen in weightlifting, you know, she's been fierce in fighting on this.
01:02:46.000I think the key thing you said there is women, and it needs to come from women.
01:02:50.000And that's why I think Taylor May is so commendable here.
01:02:52.000Because if it doesn't come from women, I mean, men could bark about this all they want, but it's women who are the victims and are missing the opportunities because of this.
01:02:59.000So they, unfortunately, in our society, need to be the most vocal about it, because people don't like Latino men.
01:03:28.000My understanding of this story, having dug into it and spoken with some people involved, when you go to a skateboarding contest, you don't know who you're competing against.
01:03:37.000They say, hey, there's going to be a contest in this place at this time.
01:03:40.000You go to a local qualifier, then you show up and all of a sudden you see who you're competing against.
01:03:45.000My understanding is that this is not an instance that's exactly the same, where this person knew, I'm going to fly to this place and compete in this contest against a trans person.
01:03:57.000It was, they showed up and said, Oh, really?
01:04:10.000I mean, look, man, I can be angry and critical.
01:04:14.000And I think the fact that she was second place, won cash, could have walked away with the cash, not as much cash as she wanted, but instead she's like, no, no, no, no, I've got to say something about this.
01:04:23.000Because the woman who got bumped out of the bracket isn't speaking up.
01:04:27.000Like with the NCAA, the woman who got bumped from the bracket was the one who spoke out.
01:04:30.000And I said, you're only speaking out because you lost the money?
01:04:34.000Well, in this instance, the person who got bumped didn't speak out, and the person who did get the money is the one speaking out.
01:04:58.000You know, when you see it happen in your own stuff, I think it really makes a big difference.
01:05:02.000I saw this happen in theater when suddenly grants that were, because you know there were grants like women's plays, only women should submit plays for this and you know proposals and whatever.
01:05:13.000And then the granting opportunities and the opportunities that had been specifically for women were suddenly for women or self-identified women.
01:06:23.000We try to be respectful to people who are, you know, we try to be respectful.
01:06:28.000As I mentioned often, even Ben Shapiro said he would use preferred pronouns in a public setting because it's just easier, though he doesn't agree with it, and wouldn't use it in an academic or journalistic setting.
01:07:18.000Soccer Federation reached a milestone agreement to pay its men and women teams equally, making the American national governing body the first in the sport to promise both sexes matching money.
01:08:32.000Why wouldn't they just go play in Europe and make a lot of money and not play on the national team at all?
01:08:37.000The interesting part about this is that the men's team is actually trash relative to other men's soccer teams, and our female soccer team is one of the best in the world, but our men's is bad.
01:08:47.000But still, men's soccer generates more money.
01:08:50.000But it's number one, so if we're America first right now, then we should be rooting for our women's team.
01:08:54.000Yeah, root for them, but they're still generating less money, so why should they get more?
01:09:00.000I did go to the parade when they won though in New York City.
01:09:02.000and i don't know if you're happy and i think a lot like where is it
01:09:06.000why don't you die in your hair purple just said that i can wrap it up to the
01:09:10.000actor is going on in new york city well there's a great yet when they won
01:09:14.000the few years ago the people who want to support a pretty the people who want to
01:09:17.000support the way it's really they can watch People can get invested in this without having to take from the men's team.
01:09:23.000And it's funny because you mentioned the men's team is not that good.
01:09:26.000I don't follow sports, but I've heard that.
01:09:28.000But it's not as if anyone's saying, well, you know, we should be giving the trophies that the women win to the men's team because we just like men more.
01:09:36.000What we're saying is if a group of people earn a certain amount of money, they should get that amount of money.
01:09:41.000And if a group of people earns less than that, you don't redistribute it to make them feel better.
01:09:58.000I love when the blue checkies journalists were like, the women actually win and the men don't, but the men are getting paid more money and it's like the men negotiate a different pay structure.
01:11:35.000Well, I mean, you know, the argument from the left on this is, again, you know, The Amazing Atheist tweeted at me that, you know, tall people are better at basketball.
01:12:14.000And the advantage of having a higher center of gravity, of having narrower hips, no matter
01:12:19.000what you do or change, that's not going to have an impact.
01:12:23.000I'm wondering if in these skate contests, I don't think they have any hormone requirement, like some sport leagues do, where it's like your testosterone has to be a certain level, because that wouldn't matter anyway.
01:12:34.000In which case, my point is, Are we going to come to the point where if the argument is based on gender as a social construct and not sex, then someone who's literally a 6 foot 6, 250 pound muscular male could just be like, I'm a woman.
01:13:30.000I'm curious as to when we're going to see an actual big backlash from women on this actual issue as it becomes more common.
01:13:37.000Because there aren't that many trans women in these sports yet.
01:13:42.000But as we continue to age, you know, the youth, I think it's something like 20 to 30% of the youth nowadays considers themselves some form of LGBTQ.
01:14:01.000Recently, a mom reached out to me and hipped me to a talk that was given by Dr. Marcy Bowers at Duke University, who is trans and has performed some 2,000 trans surgeries.
01:14:18.000A trans doctor performing the trans surgeries?
01:14:21.000and has performed these surgeries on young people, has also prescribed the puberty blocking drugs, the Lupron, as well as the cross-sex hormones.
01:14:32.000If a child goes on puberty blockers and then goes directly on to cross-sex hormones and does not go through natural puberty, they will never orgasm.
01:14:46.000They will never have full sexual function.
01:14:52.000Additionally, if you're a little boy and you go on a puberty blocker and then you start taking estrogen, you will never have enough genital material to be converted into the wound that is then referred to as the neovagina.
01:15:09.000Additionally, if you are a young person and you start taking cross-sex hormones, you're going to have substantial problems with bone density.
01:15:20.000Yeah, blood coagulation, all of these things.
01:15:22.000So the odds that you're going to be able to play sports are remarkably small because you're just not going to have the physical capability to do that.
01:15:31.000So if a young man doesn't go through natural puberty, he's not going to be able to play against Megan Rapinoe.
01:15:39.000Anyone who does that to a child belongs in jail.
01:15:41.000I think that's happening in how many states now?
01:16:00.000And then they actually ended up investigating.
01:16:02.000It was Ken Paxton's office and it was actually inspired by Libs of TikTok, which Libs of TikTok, I talked to her about it and she was like, that was amazing.
01:16:14.000But what was interesting is the attorney general's office then found themselves investigating a parent who worked at Texas Social Services for medically transitioning their child.
01:16:29.000I think one of the great lies, one of the big lies among trans activists, obviously beyond that men can actually become women and women can actually become men, is that these puberty blockers have no consequences and that we have fully studied their unintended consequences.
01:16:44.000We're right now giving puberty blockers that were supposed to be used to treat, I forgot what exact hormonal diseases, but we don't fully understand what these puberty blockers do when used in the case of gender dysphoria in children.
01:17:13.000Yeah, because also, once a child goes on those puberty blockers, Lupron, right, which is supposed to address precocious puberty, and then you take the child off.
01:17:21.000But in cases of healthy children, you go on it, they put you on it, and then you immediately transition to cross-sex hormones.
01:17:28.000So you don't, and most kids who go on the puberty blockers do go on to take the cross-sex hormones because they're already believing it.
01:17:42.000The thing is, you can't exactly tell when somebody is going on hormone blockers, so it's hard to visibly see how many people are doing it.
01:17:49.000But what I do see, as somebody who's from New York City, Brooklyn specifically, one of the most trans parts of the city, is that double mastectomies are relatively common.
01:17:58.000This isn't something that, like, you don't see or hear about from friends or friends or see people... You see it a bit.
01:18:04.000Yeah, it's relatively common, and I think that too.
01:18:07.000Convincing women that the right move or whatever you're dealing with, interpersonal women deal with a lot of issues mentally, going through puberty, etc.
01:18:16.000But to convince them to get double mastectomies, to remove their breasts, again, I think is a form, is comparable to modern-day lobotomies.
01:18:51.000Puberty sucks for everybody like it feels weird and yucky to have your body change.
01:18:55.000I know personally like I was 18 before I realized that I should wear a bra and it was my it was my college roommate who was like you really need to do this and I was like ew gross I don't really want to be involved in this.
01:19:07.000Oh you guys are all embarrassed that's really cute.
01:19:11.000I mean, I never realized to wear a bra.
01:20:02.000Yeah, and no group of people who has ever made the distinction between human and person and said it's technically a human but not a person has ever been on the right side of history when we examine the situation later.
01:20:11.000So you look back at eugenics and we've done away with that.
01:20:20.000When we had Matt Bender on the show, he kept saying over and over again, if a baby was born with deformity of abnormality, you wouldn't be in favor of ending its life.
01:20:50.000If we start saying, these traits are undesirable, where does it end?
01:20:54.000And I'm not gonna, oh, slippery slope.
01:20:55.000No, no, quite literally, you have parents being like, oh, he's got a heart issue, perhaps, and they're gonna look at the DNA and they're gonna say, When he's in his 30s, he may experience this, so why don't you try again?
01:21:06.000And then you're gonna move the needle more and more.
01:21:09.000Until at what point are you arguing that it's just designer babies?
01:21:14.000And at what point do you end up with a disease that primarily affects people with a specific gene, you know, or specific cell receptor?
01:21:22.000And then all of a sudden it's like, we didn't realize that homogenizing the gene pool was gonna result in population collapse, but here we are.
01:21:40.000We mentioned aborting for whatever disabilities.
01:21:44.000I'm trying to look up the exact source because I remember this in the past, but what I'm reading right now from The Atlantic is that in Denmark, they actually do tests to see if the child does have Down syndrome.
01:21:55.000According to what I'm reading, it says nearly all expecting mothers choose to take the test.
01:21:59.000Of those who get a Down syndrome diagnosis, more than 95% choose to abort.
01:22:03.000So this isn't just some fantasy tale scenario that we're talking about.
01:22:39.000I think there is an argument to be made about, I'm not saying abort children who have Down syndrome, but there is some version of a quality of life argument.
01:22:47.000But I do think the argument starts to become, is where do you draw the line to where you abort a child?
01:22:53.000I'm not saying it's okay or not okay for Down syndrome, but you know, if we keep moving the needle or the line, it's like, well, if your kid has diabetes, you know, do we potentially want to abort him because of that?
01:24:09.000So when people are horrified because they go, oh my gosh, all these children died who didn't even have the disease that I think it's okay to kill people with, they're getting it backwards.
01:24:17.000You just should not kill unborn children.
01:24:19.000When we were talking with Matt, he, it was just, man, it was kind of crazy.
01:24:26.000When he was like, you said you would stand with those who wanted to ban abortion.
01:24:29.000And I was like, I said, if my option was you who wants to legalize elective abortion at nine months or standing with the people who would ban it, I will stand with the people who will ban it.
01:24:41.000Because that reduces the amount of death.
01:25:19.000The people in the middle always also get called the opposite of whatever side.
01:25:23.000So, for example, like, if you're a 14-weeker, pro-lifers are calling you pro-choice, but pro-choicers are calling a 14-weeker relatively pro-life.
01:25:34.000If you're not up until nine months, then you're essentially pro-life.
01:25:37.000Look at the conversation we had with Matt.
01:25:39.000Yeah, but I think pro-life and pro-choice is a dichotomy, right?
01:25:43.000You're either in favor of legal abortion or you're against it.
01:25:45.000I realize that there are some people who are in favor of it at different stages or against it at different stages, but ultimately it's a binary.
01:25:51.000You're either okay with abortion or you're not.
01:25:53.000That's why at TimCast.com we say pro-abortion or anti-abortion.
01:25:56.000Because pro-choice and pro-life are just stupid buzzwords.
01:27:46.000You know, like if a male student is 15, you don't have a ton of control over your whole situation, and your teacher is, you know, 28 or 30 or whatever.
01:27:54.000I think the revelation here is that... That has certainly happened.
01:27:57.000I was just reading an article about that today.
01:27:59.000I think the real epiphany for all of us here is that women are obviously the real perpetrators the whole time!
01:29:24.000Well, I thought, I think we did have a very productive conversation with Jamie yesterday, and one point he made.
01:29:29.000And again, like, I mean, I very much enjoyed it.
01:29:31.000And by the way, I'll say this, and we talked, we did it, we appreciated, you know, Matt coming on and being willing to have a conversation with us.
01:29:38.000And, you know, I mentioned it was mostly with Tim.
01:29:41.000There was a couple moments I felt a need to interject.
01:29:44.000There were a few times where I was like, all right, I have to jump in here because this is like blatantly incorrect and I need to say something.
01:29:49.000But what I really appreciated about Jamie is he clearly Disagreed with me on the pro-life issue, but I felt as if his questions were very much in good faith And he was sort of curious about the perspective and he said something which was We're not really gonna get anywhere with the dialogue if people like don't have faith that they can reason with the person They're talking to and they don't have some basic and empathy and understanding for the other position
01:30:12.000How can you have a coherent political discussion with people who believe Jussie Smollett?
01:30:14.000it doesn't mean it's a good position and I agree with it. I think it's completely abhorrent to
01:30:19.000believe in abortion, but also at the same time, I think a lot of people believe in it because they
01:30:23.000just don't understand the issue that well. How can you have a coherent political discussion
01:30:30.000with people who believe Jussie Smollett? You can't. Yeah, that makes it tough.
01:30:36.000Like Taylor Lorenz can write every article in the world and people just like they stare at it with drool coming out of their mouths and it's like maybe this person can't understand arguments.
01:30:44.000It's so funny that you just mentioned Jesse Smollett, because I just pulled up a post-millennial article saying, flashback, Dr. Oz pushed Jesse Smollett, hate crime.
01:33:12.000Rilo says, ending disinfo board is evidence they put the cart before the horse.
01:33:16.000Government can only restrict government speech, so how the F could they run midterm Spygate scandals with a board tasked with stopping disinfo?
01:33:41.000Andrew Irvin says Post Millennial is reporting that 76 brand gas stations are preparing for $10 a gallon gas and that gas stations in the tri-cities are running out of gas.
01:33:50.000Yeah, that's a Katie Davis Courts reporting.
01:33:53.000Yeah, I think we saw that the other day.
01:33:54.000Yeah, we pulled it up and didn't get to it last night.
01:33:56.000Maybe we'll talk about it in the after show.
01:33:59.000Lunderwear says, do a Project Veritas skit like Mission Impossible.
01:34:03.000Dossiers on Twitter that self-destruct in 3D printed masks for O'Keefe.
01:34:09.000Truehello says, so you think suspended is code word for slipping with a black budget program outside of the purview of public congressional hearings?
01:34:30.000Yeah, the Disinformation Governance Board hearing was cancelled because of all of the disinformation surrounding the Disinformation Governance Board.
01:34:41.000Amber Byrd says, I can't ignore the timeline of the disinformation board shutting down as Bezos says Biden needs to be fact-checked by the disinformation board.
01:34:53.000I think that people, you've got a government agency, there's going to be lawsuits, and then they're going to be forced to be like, yeah, Joe Biden lied about this, lied about this, lied about this.
01:35:02.000And so did Nina Jankowicz and so did Jen Psaki.
01:35:14.000But then with the disinformation board, it's like, why would we assume they're stopping disinformation?
01:35:19.000You know, if you go to an ice cream shop, are you assuming the guy who's there is trying to stop people from getting ice cream or he's trying to give the ice cream out?
01:36:11.000Seriously, JK says, last night's James O'Keefe undercover running gag was quite possibly the funniest string of jokes and ideas I've seen in a long time.
01:37:57.000Smedley Butler the third says inflation is an increase of the currency supply devaluing the currency's purchasing power Which raises prices the one and only culprit behind this is a printing machine and its family owners.
01:39:58.000So it's a YouGov poll that said about 50% of Democrats believed in 2016 that voting machines were actually hacked or that Russia tampered with tallies in order to get Trump elected.
01:40:11.000There was a story, I think it was Newsweek, that half of the population of the country believes the country is being run by a secret organization they don't know, like they don't know who it is.
01:41:18.000So when you have two billionaires, or a massive multinational corporation and a billionaire, both looking and saying, implant my thing into your brain!
01:41:55.000She said we will work together and continue to work together to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to work together as we continue to work, operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements that we will convene to work together on.
01:42:34.000I don't know what's going on with that.
01:42:36.000There's like she actually she actually said that everything she says makes no sense at all and the fact like the only thing that is keeping people from trying to get Biden out of office is knowing that we would get her instead.
01:42:48.000You'll get like a productive predictive text loop where you'll write I went to the movies and what'll come up it'll say and and you'll hit it and then I went to the movies and then I went to the movies and then that's a Kamala Harris speech that's how she writes her speeches.
01:43:52.000What if it's like half the country has been taken over by robots, and the robots are speaking clearly to each other, and we are laughing at them, thinking we're so smart.
01:44:20.000I just, I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that people are gonna, like, if every person at every tech company now thinks they could be getting hit by James O'Keefe, imagine the relationship problems they're gonna have.
01:44:32.000There's gonna be an engineer at YouTube who meets, like, this amazing woman, and they're gonna have all the same interests, and he's gonna be like, It's James O'Keefe!
01:44:51.000Like, imagine in real life a guy, you know, meets this beautiful woman organically and he just gets terrified and then he stops answering the phone.
01:44:59.000And then she calls one day and she's like, you stopped answering the phone.
01:45:49.000The Project Veritas employee goes, he gives them info about, the person being set up gives them info about Project Veritas that's on their phone.
01:47:22.000That's the easiest way to put it, but we're going to be implementing a bunch of infrastructure changes to avoid censorship, to become more resilient against censorship.
01:47:30.000Wouldn't it be funny if you're like, I was just sick of what you guys had to say.
01:47:33.000Yeah, I mean... Yeah, I was tired of arguing!
01:49:12.000If you were going to create an exemption for abortion in the case of rape, there would have to be an investigation.
01:49:18.000And they would have to be able to, like, prove it, I guess.
01:49:21.000But the left would never stand for that.
01:49:23.000I mean, firstly, they would never want to limit the number of abortions ever, but then I think their argument would be like, no, you never investigate into it because that would allow them a loophole for basically anyone to still be able to get an abortion so long as they said they would.
01:49:33.000I think some of the most successful movements in the country are always trying to, you know, they try to morph and live up to the ideals of the Constitution.
01:49:41.000So I think, you know, the civil rights movement did this, where they were arguing that all men, the Declaration of Independence said that all men are created equal, bestowed with unalienable rights by their creator.
01:49:51.000So like, you know, I think pro-lifers, it would behoove them to make a similar type of argument.
01:50:48.000There was a case like that in Massachusetts too where the guy said that it was a black guy who came and like carjacked them and killed his wife so it was on top of everything else it was like super racist.
01:51:23.000While percentage stays the same, real numbers change and the far ends push out as numbers increase.
01:51:28.000So the highest potential ability increases with larger population.
01:51:32.000For example, the top 1% in a hundred versus a hundred K. That's a really, really good point.
01:51:39.000When you have hundreds of millions of people, the bell curve will get wider because you have a higher chance of anomaly.
01:51:46.000So, actually, it's an interesting way to think about it.
01:51:48.000If there's a one-in-a-million athlete, but you only have a hundred people, you're not going to see that amazing athlete.
01:51:54.000If a million people, you'll have one at the far end, so the bell curve actually will become wider.
01:51:59.000Ty Johnson says, people want to be younger today because they were trapped inside, afraid of the outside as children due to tech and the parents wanting safety over childhood.
01:52:19.000They're so pro-abortion that they don't even track how many abortions are performed in the state.
01:52:23.000It's Schrodinger's child where it only counts if you want it to and when it's not advantageous it just doesn't count.
01:52:32.000I was looking at this recently, and there are a number of states that don't report or record or keep data on how many, on the racial breakdown of abortions.
01:52:41.000So I'm pro-choice, but one of the most eye-opening statistics that I heard that was for many years in New York City, that were more black children aborted than were birthed, and it just sounds so outrageous.
01:52:52.000It sounds that outrageous, where you're just like, wait a minute, what?
01:52:57.000I don't know if it was every year, but it was for some of the years and to even have gotten close is kind of a crazy thing to conceptually, yeah.
01:55:03.000It's because BLM isn't as popular and defund the police polled horribly and the Joe Biden administration as well as Democrats know that now after trialing it so they have to run away from it more but there's still the ideologues in the party who do believe that.
01:55:16.000Well, and BLM turned out to be a whole bunch of grifters.
01:55:22.000I'm going to give a wag of the finger to Fox News because they are really misrepresenting the latest scandal.
01:55:29.000So they keep saying that Patrice Cullors paid her baby's father and her brother $970,000 and $840,000.
01:55:37.000Let me clarify that because I feel that's very misleading.
01:55:40.000There's an LLC that does An LLC run by her baby's father does live production and her brother runs a security company now by all means I think Hiring your friends and family to do the jobs is a conflict of interest when you have those money but the idea that that money was compensation versus cost and That's what happens when Fox News says she paid her brother.
01:56:04.000If her brother was doing security at this company, how many security guards did she hire and how much money did he really get?
01:56:09.000So maybe what really happened is she paid her brother a hundred grand, which is still like, you know, should a nonprofit be hiring all of their friends and family?
01:56:18.000The live production thing, the one question I had was they spent $150,000 on a live stream.
01:56:22.000And I'm like, okay, now we're asking some questions.
01:56:25.000But Fox is making it seem like she's just giving the money straight to her brother to, like, do whatever he wants with.
01:56:31.000The other thing, too, is if she was receiving more than $100,000, they would have to disclose that on the 990s.
01:56:37.000They did not, because she probably wasn't.
01:56:39.000It doesn't mean she's not getting paid in other ways, though, so... She also said that those 990s were triggering to have to fill them out.
01:58:03.000We absolutely need to have a coherent understanding of sex in order for society to function, because the family is the building block of society, and sex is what creates families.
01:58:13.000And if we don't have a functioning society, we can't hope to solve any of the problems he's pointing out.
01:58:17.000So these issues are genuinely important.
01:58:20.000Google has announced that they're very close to creating an AI with human intelligence, so perhaps we can just build people.
01:58:29.000I believe in amphiphomorphic climate change.
01:58:32.000That is to say that the humans are having some influence on the climate.
01:58:35.000But I also believe that we are scientific creatures and our continued understanding and new discoveries that we will run into is what's going to help us steer our way out of this.
01:58:44.000My issue with the Green New Deal is that it doesn't try to solve reduced carbon emissions.
01:58:49.000I don't think it tries to do any of that.
01:58:50.000It just tries to overthrow quote unquote capitalism and our current system.
01:58:54.000That is the goal of the Green New Deal.
01:58:56.000It's not to reduce emissions, it's to try to force our way to use renewables that won't
01:59:28.000So if any, like, that is something that I'm genuinely concerned about.
01:59:31.000I studied biology, I care a lot about the environment.
01:59:34.000I've never heard anybody talk about how we're trying to deal with that,
01:59:37.000and that's something more tangible than just climate change.
01:59:39.000I will say that I was with a theater company for a while, and we worked for a very long time on an art project that was about ocean pollution, ocean acidification, and the North Pacific Garbage Dyer.
02:00:09.000But what we really need to do is we need to pursue more nuclear energy.
02:00:13.000The reason Medicare for All won't ever happen is because the Democrats will insist to make abortions included in healthcare and also insist that all illegal immigrants also get healthcare.
02:00:23.000That's why this issue I don't think will ever move forward.
02:02:10.000Yeah, where it's like, you know, a woman who's like really crazy and kind of hot you stay away from, but like a woman who's like hot and not that crazy you marry.
02:02:17.000And then normally it says not crazy and totally hot.
02:03:22.000Yeah, so my point was that if someone tells me I have to use their pronouns, I'll say, I won't use the pronouns that, if you're like, hey, don't use he or him, use this or that, I'll say, I won't use the pronouns you want, but I'll use totally different ones you don't expect.
02:04:34.000I create cartoons on a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.
