Summary

Anheuser-Busch issues a non-apology to the far-left, and Whoopi Goldberg defends them. Plus, a new cast member of the Black Lives Matter movement joins the show to talk about it.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 So last week, on a Friday evening, Anheuser-Busch put out a non-apology statement, where they
00:00:24.000 just said, you know, we didn't mean to be divisive, thank you and have a nice day.
00:00:28.000 They also, through Budweiser, released an ad showing a horse running across America, and then winning or whatever it's called, and talking about patriots, because, yeah.
00:00:38.000 The boycott is bad for them.
00:00:39.000 They're worried about it.
00:00:40.000 Their stock was skyrocketing this month.
00:00:43.000 Now it's dipping back down, dropped five points in the past week.
00:00:46.000 Well, comparably, other beer companies aren't doing so bad.
00:00:48.000 They're actually seeing an increase.
00:00:50.000 So, Don Jr.
00:00:52.000 comes out and says, everybody stop!
00:00:53.000 You gotta stop boycotting Anheuser-Busch over their sponsorship of Dylan Mulvaney.
00:00:58.000 And he said they actually donate a lot to conservatives.
00:01:00.000 Well, guess what happened?
00:01:02.000 As predicted, here we are.
00:01:04.000 The non-apology statement has resulted in a backlash where the left has now come out.
00:01:09.000 Whoopi Goldberg on The View said to Anheuser-Busch, don't let them scare you, let us scare you.
00:01:17.000 And isn't that exactly what I've been saying for the past two and a half weeks?
00:01:22.000 That Anheuser-Busch needs to issue an apology to make the statement that they're more concerned about their own customers, supposedly the people they support, than they are far-left extremists.
00:01:34.000 I think the story here is more than just Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light.
00:01:37.000 The story is, the left is, in my view, victim of the algorithmic decay.
00:01:46.000 We are seeing... Who's that, you?
00:01:49.000 So what we are seeing is the algorithm promoting and manipulating content, making people go crazy, and for no logical reason, The View, defending that.
00:02:00.000 Because they're tribalist zombies.
00:02:03.000 We on the other end are saying, hey, the algorithm is plaguing people's minds, making teenagers depressed, and you shouldn't advertise alcohol to minors.
00:02:11.000 And for some reason, Whoopi Goldberg is so angered by that thought, she went on her national television show and said, Budweiser, you better not.
00:02:18.000 You should fear us.
00:02:19.000 So this is interesting.
00:02:20.000 We also got a bunch of other stories.
00:02:22.000 In Chicago, for four nights in a row, we had mass rioting, what's called the Teen Takeover.
00:02:25.000 In Los Angeles, the street takeovers are getting worse, and roving bands of, I guess, marauders are smashing up businesses and stealing stuff.
00:02:33.000 And in Chicago, they tried breaking into the Art Institute and got shot.
00:02:37.000 Wow.
00:02:38.000 What a crazy past weekend, I suppose.
00:02:40.000 So we're going to talk all about that.
00:02:41.000 Before we do, head over to castbrew.com.
00:02:44.000 This show is brought to you by Cast Brew Coffee, which is our coffee company.

00:02:58.000 And then after it officially launches, we're going to be rolling out a bunch of other blends.
00:03:02.000 And this is a component of the coffee shop that we currently have underway.
00:03:06.000 We bought the building, it's ready to go.
00:03:07.000 We're just doing plumbing, installation, countertops, permitting, and all that stuff.

00:03:59.000 Thank you for having me.
00:04:01.000 Who are you, good sir?
00:04:02.000 I'm Xavier DeRusso.
00:04:03.000 I'm here from Los Angeles.
00:04:04.000 I'm a PragerU personality and doing everything we can to fight this culture war.
00:04:09.000 I think what's really interesting about your story is that, and you just basically told me the gist of it before we went live, you were a Black Lives Matter supporter and activist who was trying to debunk Candace Owens and then accidentally debunked yourself.
00:04:21.000 Yeah, I was casted for a big reality show.
00:04:23.000 I had been woke my entire life.
00:04:25.000 My family's pretty far left.
00:04:27.000 And when I was going on that show, I wanted to study all the Karna arguments, so I made a list of different things I wanted to debunk from PragerU, from Candace Owens, and I ended up dismantling my entire indoctrination narrative instead.
00:04:39.000 Wow!
00:04:39.000 So I backed out of the show and started speaking on conservative values.
00:04:43.000 Wow, that's amazing!
00:04:44.000 Alright, well, we got a lot to talk about, so thanks for hanging out.
00:04:46.000 Thanks for having me.
00:04:47.000 We got Phil Labonte.
00:04:48.000 Hello, I am Phil Labonte, lead singer of All That Remains, anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
00:04:54.000 How you doing, Brett?
00:04:55.000 Oh, how's it going, guys?
00:04:56.000 Yes, my name is Brett Dasovic, Monday through Friday.
00:04:59.000 I am the host of Pop Culture Crisis right here on YouTube.com.
00:05:02.000 It's at 3 p.m.
00:05:03.000 I'm sitting in for Ian tonight.
00:05:05.000 I don't quite have his hair or his gravitas, but I'll do my best.
00:05:08.000 We'll just need you to talk about graphene at least.
00:05:10.000 Yeah, we've got graphene here, so I can channel that.
00:05:13.000 All right, right on.
00:05:13.000 We got that.
00:05:14.000 And we got Serge pressing the buttons.
00:05:15.000 Yo, what's up, guys?
00:05:17.000 All right, let's jump into this first story from Yahoo News.
00:05:21.000 Whoopi Goldberg to Anheuser-Busch on conservative backlash.
00:05:26.000 Don't let them scare you.
00:05:28.000 Let us scare you.
00:05:29.000 Oh boy!
00:05:30.000 I love Whoopi Goldberg and The View just overtly threatening terror against their political opponents.
00:05:37.000 Okay, I'm being a bit hyperbolic in that regard.
00:05:39.000 Here we go.
00:05:40.000 Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts on ABC's The View weighed in today on the recent Budweiser controversies, reminding the beer maker that as the show's Anna Navarro said, members of the LGBT community are Americans too.
00:05:55.000 The conversation follows conservative backlash and calls for boycott over their partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.
00:06:01.000 Goldberg beginning the hot topic debate by noting that Budweiser was her beer of choice before she quit drinking.
00:06:07.000 Oh, before she quit, huh?
00:06:09.000 Asked what conservatives are so angry about.
00:06:11.000 Beer is not a Democrat or Republican.
00:06:13.000 It doesn't have a belief system.
00:06:13.000 It's just beer.
00:06:15.000 Well, uh, I'll tell you.
00:06:16.000 I'll tell you.
00:06:17.000 It's because Dylan Mulvaney is the embodiment of what I call Elsagate 2.0, the algorithmic manipulation resulting in chaotic nonsense content.
00:06:26.000 And then Bud Light was like, I got an idea.
00:06:28.000 Let's fund more of this decay and promote booze to children.
00:06:33.000 And so I'm just like, bro, everything about what you're doing is a bad thing.
00:06:36.000 But here's the best part.
00:06:37.000 The VP of marketing for Budweiser admitted their goal was to market alcohol to kids.
00:06:42.000 She was like, it's a it's an old dying brand and we got to get young people like, oh, is that what you're saying?
00:06:47.000 Because Dylan Mulvaney's audience are like 15 years old.
00:06:50.000 You can just Google it.
00:06:51.000 The average user of TikTok is under 21.
00:06:54.000 That's all that matters.
00:06:55.000 And then obviously, Dylan Mulvaney's audience is not a bunch of 50 year old dudes.
00:06:59.000 It's a bunch of 15 year old kids.
00:07:01.000 That's why I'm mildly perturbed.
00:07:03.000 I don't know about you guys.
00:07:04.000 It blows my mind that Dylan Mulvaney has an audience of teens.
00:07:09.000 I don't see... I'm not a teen, but I don't see what is actually... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
00:07:16.000 Like, why a teen?
00:07:18.000 Teenagers, in my opinion, aren't seeking out something of, like...
00:07:25.000 They're being recommended things, right?
00:07:27.000 They're not walking to a library and being like, and saying like, give me something that's, you know, in the vein of a dystopian.
00:07:34.000 No, they're showing up the teachers being like, here's the book to read.
00:07:36.000 They're seeing the commercials, seeing the ads.
00:07:37.000 They're young people.
00:07:38.000 I'm not saying that to be mean.
00:07:39.000 I'm saying young people are learning and developing and being influenced by their older peers.
00:07:44.000 So what's happening is TikTok is putting Dylan Mulvaney in front of people, more and more people.
00:07:50.000 That's why I don't like that they're giving Dylan Mulvaney sponsorship.
00:07:55.000 Your argument is that the algorithm is what's presenting this stuff to kids, but the algorithm responds to what people continue to watch, right?
00:08:08.000 I would say yes and no, right?
00:08:10.000 So if you go on Instagram, you'll see the algorithm feeding you a bunch of stuff based on what you like, but periodically it sends me stuff I have no idea why.
00:08:19.000 It's testing the waters with certain content.
00:08:21.000 You could argue that with TikTok, They put this content out there and it got a response, right?
00:08:26.000 But the reality is we already know from, and now especially from the Twitter files, they put their thumb on the scales and they choose what is or isn't allowed.
00:08:34.000 And if we go back to the Rogan Experience conversation that I had with Jack Dorsey and Vijay Gadde, they explicitly said they were protecting this community.
00:08:44.000 And not other communities.
00:08:45.000 So they outright were like, trans content is under our overt and explicit protection.
00:08:49.000 That means that if Dylan Mulvaney made, if Dylan Mulvaney came out with like a video debunking critical race theory, it's not going to get play.
00:08:57.000 Tim cast IRL on TikTok, banned.
00:09:00.000 Because they choose, we aren't allowed, Dylan Mulvaney gets protected and or promoted.
00:09:05.000 And I'll give you an example.
00:09:06.000 I was talking to these people last weekend about exactly this and why Dylan Mulvaney is bad.
00:09:12.000 And the easiest way to explain it is, first, regular people like Whoopi Goldberg and default liberals look at Dylan Mulvaney and they're like, it's just a trans person.
00:09:22.000 But Dylan Mulvaney is not.
00:09:23.000 Dylan Mulvaney, I don't believe is trans.
00:09:24.000 I think it's all just part of the algorithmic machine.
00:09:27.000 The example I use is how young girls are developing Tourette syndrome.
00:09:31.000 Have you guys seen this story?
00:09:33.000 From Twitter, I'm sorry, from Instagram and TikTok.
00:09:37.000 Teenage girls started seeing massive spikes in Tourette tics because what happened was a few young women with Tourette syndrome got prominent followings and they would make these videos where they would be like sometimes it's it's like a and then I'm trying to talk and then they started young girls are imitating this content and actually developing this social behavior and making more and more content about it.
00:10:00.000 That is exactly what Dylan Mulvaney is.
00:10:02.000 Dylan Mulvaney gets fed this content, tries to make content that will get Dylan Mulvaney famous, figures it out, and it's creating a feedback loop that is melting people's brains.
00:10:11.000 Now, with the Tourette thing, we know Tourette's is not good.
00:10:15.000 We don't have people coming out being like, if a child identifies as having Tourette's, you should affirm them.
00:10:19.000 No one's arguing that.
00:10:20.000 But when it comes to what Dylan Mulvaney is doing, they're all defending it and arguing for more.
00:10:25.000 So here's where we are.
00:10:27.000 Just to get the conversation going.
00:10:29.000 Whoopi Goldberg and the view on the left has realized they're losing this one.
00:10:34.000 And they have made it explicitly clear to Anheuser-Busch, fear us.
00:10:40.000 Because all I said was this.
00:10:42.000 Guys, don't buy Bud Light.
00:10:44.000 Don't buy Anheuser-Busch.
00:10:46.000 You don't gotta go protest.
00:10:47.000 You don't gotta make a phone call.
00:10:49.000 You don't gotta do anything other than buy a different beer.
00:10:51.000 Easiest thing in the world.
00:10:53.000 And they know, and to respond to that, they have to make sure they remind Anheuser-Busch that they engage in violence and terror.
00:11:00.000 As an anecdote, I've seen some of my friends that are left-leaning have a little pushback on the Bud Light boycott.
00:11:13.000 And I feel like the pushback is because it's effective.
00:11:17.000 And I don't think that it's going to have a significant effect on their bottom line.
00:11:21.000 It's not going to be a monetary victory, but it's going to be something where It's going to inhibit other brands from doing this kind of stuff because you know, I mean, June is only a month and a half away and it's going to be, it's going to be, you know, everything's going to be pride for the whole month.
00:11:39.000 So I think that this is more about messaging to brands.
00:11:43.000 Hey, look, you know, Did that article also say that beer doesn't know a political party?
00:11:54.000 Have they ever been to a microbrewery?
00:11:58.000 If you went and polled the people at a microbrewery about who their political affiliations are, who do you think that would be?
00:12:06.000 It may not have a political opinion, but it knows that it's better than you at the very least.
00:12:12.000 That's the one thing that I thought she said that was correct.
00:12:14.000 Beer should not have a political party.
00:12:16.000 I don't need every single product that I get to have a political party attached to it.
00:12:20.000 But what Budweiser just did was the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
00:12:24.000 I've never seen a company shoot themselves in both feet so quickly.
00:12:28.000 Well, I would agree with you maybe two years ago, but now I'm like, no, I demand all of my products just come out right now and say Trump 2024 and fly American flags.
00:12:37.000 That's it.
00:12:38.000 If a company comes out and they're selling flip-flops and they got American flags, I'm buying them because I'm at a point where I'm sick of people like Whoopi Goldberg.
00:12:46.000 I'm sick of what Anheuser-Busch did.
00:12:48.000 If Anheuser-Busch just said, I don't know or care, here's beer, I'd be like, well, it is what it is.
00:12:52.000 But they decided to get involved and then they, apparently, they give more money to Republicans.
00:12:57.000 Don Jr.
00:12:57.000 pointed it out and said, stop boycotting them, and I'm like, no, no.
00:13:00.000 If they know that Republicans butter their bread to the point where they give more to Republicans, then they should come out and say, along with the money we give you, we're gonna apologize for pissing you off.
00:13:13.000 They could not even do that.
00:13:15.000 But you said, Phil, you don't think it's gonna be monetary?
00:13:17.000 I'll tell you what is bad.
00:13:19.000 There's that, what's that guy's name?
00:13:20.000 Riley Green, the country singer.
00:13:22.000 We had a story on Timcast.com.
00:13:24.000 He had a line in his song where he said, the cooler is always full of bud light or whatever.
00:13:29.000 He changed the lyrics of the performance to they're always full of Coors Light.
00:13:33.000 And look, some people might find that silly, but that does matter to a brand.
00:13:38.000 You are so iconic that a famous country music song referenced your brand.
00:13:45.000 That's something you cannot buy.
00:13:47.000 And you've pissed off people to the point where now your rival, your competitor, is getting that value.
00:13:54.000 That's bad.
00:13:55.000 I wouldn't be surprised if we see Coors stock going up because of this.
00:13:59.000 So now the question is, as we enter the fray in terms of the brand's civil war, How far does this go?
00:14:06.000 You know, like I'm saying, if I'm gonna buy bottled water, I'm gonna order Trump water.
00:14:12.000 Can I order Trump water from now on?
00:14:14.000 Trump's got his own bottled water brand for his hotel chain.
00:14:16.000 I'm just gonna order that and we're gonna have it in the basement.
00:14:18.000 You could probably get it.
00:14:20.000 I'm gonna look it up.
00:14:21.000 Well, we need to stand firm on this boycott.
00:14:23.000 Because one problem with the right is we always give up our own power.
00:14:26.000 Like, why is it that we're so quick to just end these boycotts?
00:14:29.000 We don't hold these companies accountable.
00:14:31.000 And then we're shocked when we see the left continues to win and the left continues to pull them over.
00:14:35.000 Because Whoopi said it herself.
00:14:37.000 They shouldn't be scared of us.
00:14:39.000 They should be scared of them.
00:14:39.000 That is very intentional.
00:14:41.000 And they're winning because they'll actually try to cancel a company.
00:14:44.000 They'll stop putting their dollars towards something.
00:14:46.000 But conservatives, we always choose convenience.
00:14:48.000 There's more infrastructure on their side to just hold out and hold through.
00:14:53.000 For us, for a lot of companies, like this comes up a lot when we talk a lot about the TV shows and stuff that we review, right?
00:14:58.000 Because it's very easy to say that you're not going to watch anything from Disney, or you're not going to watch anything from these companies, or Netflix.
00:15:05.000 But at the end of the day, if part of your job requires you to actually end up reviewing their content because it's still held in the public, you know, in the public eye as something to talk about, it's very hard to get away from that.
00:15:16.000 And like you said... Do you refer to yourself?
00:15:18.000 Yes.
00:15:20.000 I don't.
00:15:20.000 I'm not a boycotter in that respect.
00:15:22.000 A lot of times I'll hold the product accountable.
00:15:24.000 If I don't like the product that's being made, whether it's movies or television, I will call it out for what it is when it's bad.
00:15:31.000 But for a lot of those things, I don't do the boycott because I don't find that it's, I don't find it effective because these companies seem to exist in a post-profit era anyways.
00:15:39.000 It doesn't feel like no matter how much we, now you said they've lost like what, six million or six billion in value?
00:15:45.000 six point something billions, ten and a half billion dollars.
00:15:47.000 Every time that we talk about this with Disney or something like that, they fire a few thousand
00:15:53.000 workers and then next year they're just right back where they were before.
00:15:56.000 And I just, I don't see it.
00:15:57.000 Maybe it just needs to be held at a stronger pressure point for a longer period of time.
00:16:01.000 But I do think that we overestimate our...
00:16:04.000 Go ahead.
00:16:06.000 I'm gonna say this is this is why it's like the most important culture war battle.
00:16:10.000 It's too easy.
00:16:11.000 Yeah.
00:16:11.000 It's too easy.
00:16:12.000 It's too easy for me to be like, hey, everybody, you want to help win the culture war?
00:16:17.000 Buy a different beer.
00:16:18.000 That's it.
00:16:19.000 You don't got to stop drinking.
00:16:20.000 You don't got to go to a different bar.
00:16:22.000 When you go to the bar, you sit down and say, but no, what do we got a Coors?
00:16:28.000 And it's why it's so important that companies like Daily Wire and Eric D. July are making their own products.
00:16:33.000 Obviously, I'm talking in a different medium here, but making an alternative to what you're being fed by these companies is extremely important.
00:16:40.000 I don't think Bud Light did this stunt for consumer profit, though.
00:16:44.000 I think they're just trying to raise their social credit score, essentially, because these big corporate investing firms, they are all about that The social credit score.
00:16:53.000 And it's called, I believe it's Consumer Equality Index.
00:16:57.000 I forgot what the C is.
00:16:58.000 Corporation Equality Index.
00:17:00.000 And that's like one of the most weighing factors in the social credit score that these companies have.
00:17:04.000 And that CEI, it was founded by the biggest LGBT lobbying group in 2002.
00:17:11.000 And so then Bud Light would already, as like a formerly extremely pro-America group, and a lot of these people hate America, is probably already seen as in the negative, so they have to like earn their way back forward.
00:17:21.000 Exactly.
00:17:22.000 Take a look at this.
00:17:23.000 It's not just a boycott.
00:17:26.000 Right now, Anheuser-Busch is accused of racist and sexist hiring practices that prioritized minorities in complaint filed by Trump advisers legal group during the Dylan Mulvaney firestorm.
00:17:39.000 You know, Anheuser-Busch could have just stayed out of this whole thing.
00:17:45.000 After they accidentally stepped in it, they could have just apologized.
00:17:48.000 They didn't.
00:17:49.000 And now, not only are they being targeted by The View, Whoopi Goldberg, they're now facing a lawsuit from America First Legal.
00:17:58.000 They say the group claimed that companies are using the cloak of equity to proudly discriminate based on race, color, national origin, and sex in their employment practices.
00:18:07.000 AFL, who's president, and America First Legal's president and CEO is a former Trump advisor, Stephen Miller, Sent a complaint letter to the St.
00:18:15.000 Louis, Missouri office for the EEOC requesting an investigation into Anheuser-Busch's programs.
00:18:20.000 Amazing.
00:18:21.000 Look at this.
00:18:22.000 What is this?
00:18:22.000 Brewing scholarship.
00:18:24.000 Developed in partnership with UNCF, the annual scholarship program supports 25 black college students pursuing degrees ranging from business to food science that could lead to a career in the brewing industry.
00:18:34.000 So is that what they're being targeted?
00:18:36.000 Like these scholarships?
00:18:39.000 They say one is the Leadership Accelerator Program, which advises, ...which advertises that it provides formal mentorship, executive interaction, and leadership development curriculum for those who identify with historically underrepresented groups as they join our organization in a full-time capacity.
00:18:53.000 It only encourages people of black, Native American, and Latino origins to apply.
00:18:58.000 There you go.
00:18:59.000 This is not a regular corporate program, rather the company describes the role as focusing on hiring the next generation of leaders within the North American Sustainability and Procurement Department.
00:19:08.000 In other words, it is a fast-track program to executive leadership positions at Anheuser-Busch, and it is limited to candidates based on race.
00:19:16.000 The pro forma equal opportunity employer language at the end of the posting does mask the company's discriminatory intent and purpose.
00:19:23.000 Interesting.
00:19:25.000 Now they're getting hit over what basically tons of companies are doing, but good on America First Legal, I guess?
00:19:31.000 These diversity quotas are nothing new and affirmative action surely isn't new.
00:19:34.000 And when those were created, they weren't supposed to last this long.
00:19:37.000 But now it's created what I basically call black privilege, where we are given all these opportunities just because of the color of our skin.
00:19:44.000 And I feel like it's such an outdated concept that It shocks me that you still have companies that are going so out of their way to push for minorities as if minorities can't be successful on our own right.
00:19:54.000 It's honestly insulting to me and I feel like it's going to continue until I honestly feel like white people are going to have their own version of like a civil rights movement just because these racist things just keep happening in these companies.
00:20:07.000 I think it's going to result in heightened racial tension, people fighting, and then you've already seen people claiming to be like white rights movement like stuff like the past several years.
00:20:17.000 And they're making these arguments like, hey, you know, a poor white dude who wants to go to college shouldn't have barriers placed in front of them.
00:20:23.000 In response, the media just says, you're a white supremacist.
00:20:25.000 That is so bad.
00:20:29.000 All of it?
00:20:30.000 All of it.
00:20:31.000 Like the idea of like having people start having people start having white people start saying we need a white You know, affinity group and have to have that kind of stuff for white people.
00:20:44.000 That is a terrible idea.
00:20:46.000 It's a horrible idea, if only because the left is going to say, racist, and everyone's going to believe it.
00:20:54.000 And you're going to look like absolute, like straight up cross burning racists.
00:20:59.000 And it's very hard to get rid of these programs because not only do they get employees like, like Donald Glover got hired at NBC for cheap because he was hired through like a diversity excellence program, right?
00:21:11.000 And it comes with great publicity because half their jobs are just going to these luncheons where they go to the, you know, and they go pat each other on the back and they lead to articles that are written in trade magazines.
00:21:20.000 So they get all this good publicity on top of hiring someone that's subsidized.
00:21:25.000 So it's very hard to get rid of those programs.
00:21:28.000 In regards to white rights and all that stuff, I think it's a bad idea for... I agree with you, Phil, but at the same time, we're getting to a point where if you want to get into certain universities, they're giving benefits to people based on race.
00:21:45.000 And it's making it harder for... So look at it this way.
00:21:49.000 They want, at these universities, what they claim is called racial parity, where it's like, okay, so if the country's 13% black, 7% Asian, you know, whatever, that's what's gonna be in the schools, but that's not what's happening.
00:22:00.000 What's happening is they're giving, like, 20%, 20%, 20%, and so certain people of certain races are getting boosted up, certain races are getting pushed down, Asians especially are getting pushed down.
00:22:10.000 Don't be surprised, then, if you start seeing groups of people who claim to be white rights, and they're not white supremacists, There's a distinction.
00:22:19.000 A white supremacist is a person who thinks that their race is superior versus a white rights person who's making the argument like, hey, I'm a lower income carpenter and my kid wants to go to college and they're saying he can't.
00:22:30.000 Now you're going to get those people making those advocacy groups.
00:22:33.000 You were talking about the default left this morning today on one of the things.
00:22:36.000 The default left is going to hear that and they're going to think racist.
00:22:39.000 It doesn't matter.
00:22:42.000 I know, but that's going to make America worse.
00:22:44.000 It's going to make people, it's like, Yeah, this is just to me dominoes falling over. Yeah, you're
00:22:49.000 not so you've already seen the Asian groups coming out because of Harvard and affirmative action
00:22:54.000 stuff. The SAT scores for like the average Asian has to be like you have to score like 1300 because
00:22:58.000 they're like, well, there's too many Asian people, which is, in my opinion, insane if you get if you
00:23:04.000 pass pass. And so yeah, you're going to start seeing more and more of these groups of people.
00:23:10.000 Maybe they'll try and mask it.
00:23:11.000 They'll call it like Irish affiliation or something like that.
00:23:13.000 But it's going to be some kind of white rights thing.
00:23:15.000 You're going to see lawsuits like this.
00:23:18.000 They're going to be called white supremacist.
00:23:20.000 But I will say, perhaps the reason we won't see those groups forming is because Republicans are too scared of the left.
00:23:27.000 So they won't call it that.
00:23:28.000 They'll call it America First Legal.
00:23:31.000 You know, I'm not arguing that America First Legal is fighting on behalf of white people.
00:23:35.000 I'm saying they're going to give it names like the American Pride, you know, rights organization or something like that.
00:23:40.000 Even the word patriot has been turned into something that they find to be despicable.
00:23:44.000 They're synonymous with racism.
00:23:47.000 They're trying to do that with the Betsy Ross flag.
00:23:48.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:23:49.000 They did that.
00:23:50.000 Well, they tried to.
00:23:51.000 Who was it?
00:23:51.000 Was it Colin Kaepernick who got that shoe booted off?
00:23:55.000 I think it was, yeah.
00:23:56.000 And it's like, I know there were people, I definitely responded with a picture of Barack Obama with the Betsy Ross flag behind him when he was inaugurated.
00:24:02.000 It's like, give me a break!
00:24:04.000 Founding flag.
00:24:04.000 It's so ridiculous.
00:24:05.000 I mean, they still do the same thing with the Gadsden flag, and you have to explain to them that it has nothing to do with that, that it was a revolutionary war.
00:24:10.000 But they're lying on purpose.
00:24:12.000 They're just trying to trample over the things that remind people of what this country was founded upon.
00:24:17.000 The Gadsden flag is individuality, you know, and resisting tyranny, liberty, and things like that.
00:24:23.000 And they want to turn liberty into fascism.
00:24:28.000 They lie, cheat, and they steal.
00:24:29.000 That's what they do.
00:24:30.000 And that's why they win, because they have no morals, and because they have no problem with breaking the rules if it means that they're... We were just talking about this today, okay?
00:24:38.000 They have race swapped, or they've made a colorist move for the casting of Lilo and Stitch.
00:24:44.000 It sounds off, but it tracks back.
00:24:47.000 Okay, so they casted a woman who is not Polynesian to play a character, to play Lilo's mom, Lilo and Stitch, right?
00:24:54.000 And they don't care, and the lady basically makes the argument.
00:24:57.000 She says, it's okay to race swap Ariel.
00:24:59.000 In the Little Mermaid, because it benefits black people to now have representation in this field, but it doesn't benefit a minority group if we do it this way.
00:25:07.000 They literally just admit it doesn't matter if we're being hypocritical.
00:25:10.000 Yes.
00:25:11.000 We're right because our end goal is more righteous.
00:25:14.000 That's the logic of Herbert Marques.
00:25:16.000 That is the logic of the left.
00:25:17.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:25:18.000 It's Herbert Marques.
00:25:19.000 Yes.
00:25:19.000 Yeah.
00:25:19.000 I'm pretty sure that woman that got cast was actually Polynesian.
00:25:22.000 She's just, I think, Polynesian and part white.
00:25:25.000 So they were saying that she just wasn't dark enough for the character.
00:25:28.000 She's Filipino, I believe.
00:25:31.000 I don't believe she's Polynesian, but she's born in Hawaii.
00:25:34.000 So she's, for all intents and purposes, that's why they're not calling it racist.
00:25:38.000 They're calling it colorist.
00:25:40.000 So it's different.
00:25:40.000 It's about shades, not about actual racial makeup.
00:25:43.000 So there's one thing that I want to point out, like people talk about, there was a lot of people talking about critical race theory and everyone was saying, oh, blah, blah, blah, you don't know what it was and it's not this or whatever.
00:25:53.000 One of the things that critical race theory talks about is having a critical consciousness awoken, a critical racial consciousness.
00:26:00.000 When you awaken a critical racial consciousness in white people, they essentially are saying, look, you should feel bad.
00:26:07.000 That's the whole White Fragility, the book makes that argument.
00:26:11.000 There's going to be an amount of people that are going to be like, well, I don't feel bad.
00:26:14.000 You know, and they're going to be like, well, okay, so now I'm going to have a white affinity group and I'm going to join it and I'm not going to feel bad.
00:26:19.000 And Jordan Peterson made this argument, you know, six, seven years ago that like, there's going to be a certain, if you focus on race all the time, which is the illiberal thing to do, the liberal thing to do, the, the, the enlightened mind ideas is that the individual matters.
00:26:34.000 If you focus on the individual, you'll be fine.
00:26:36.000 But if you focus on races, then races are going to start to do it more and more.
00:26:39.000 And it's, it, Ends up creating more and more segregation in your society.
00:26:44.000 It's a terrible idea.
00:26:46.000 They hate focusing on the individual.
00:26:48.000 Yeah, they do.
00:26:50.000 I mean, I feel like that's what they're already doing.
00:26:52.000 Because I always call critical race theory just critically looking for racism into everything.
00:26:56.000 Where we're told as young children, especially as a young black kid, you're told to look at the differences between you and the people next to you.
00:27:04.000 Instead of realizing like, oh, we have so much in common.
00:27:06.000 We have all these different cultural aspects that might be different, but they're cool.
00:27:10.000 We can learn about each other's cultures.
00:27:11.000 Instead, we're told to basically hate our neighbor, hate the person next to us, if they're not the same color as us.
00:27:17.000 I don't understand how anybody can feel that that is productive to put into the minds of kids, and you know it's not because these educators are hiding it in curriculum.
00:27:25.000 They're calling it all kinds of other things.
00:27:27.000 They're calling it ethnic studies, or sometimes they just call it something that has nothing to do with CRT, but they're still putting it in the curriculum.
00:27:34.000 Well, let me ask you about your experience.
00:27:35.000 So, your story is, you were a Black Lives Matter activist, cast onto a reality show, started doing your research for the show, and then debunked yourself.
00:27:45.000 And now, what, do you consider yourself conservative, I guess?
00:27:48.000 Yeah, I'd say conservative.
00:27:49.000 I have some things I lean libertarian on, but overall I'd say conservative.
00:27:52.000 So how did this happen?
00:27:53.000 What is this?
00:27:54.000 So basically, it was in 2020.
00:27:56.000 I was in the process for the show already when everything happened with George Floyd.
00:28:00.000 And then after that, they started wanting even more footage of just the things that I was working on as far as being a BLM activist, because I was doing it before it even blew up.
00:28:09.000 So in that process, I found a Candace Owens video actually on accident.
00:28:14.000 And I was so mad at what she said because she said, only in the black community do we
00:28:17.000 take our lowest common denominator and make that the forefront of our community.
00:28:21.000 So I was so enraged by that because I thought about it and I'm like, she's pretty much right.
00:28:26.000 So I started listing out like different PragerU videos I found because she was working heavily
00:28:29.000 with PragerU at the time.
00:28:31.000 And I just tried to debunk everything.
00:28:33.000 I was leaning towards being a socialist, even at that time, too.
00:28:36.000 So with socialism, with CRT, with cultural appropriation, just one by one, I'm watching these five-minute videos on PragerU.com, or I'm watching Candace Owens' videos, and I just realized, wow, I've been lied to about everything.
00:28:48.000 My entire perspective growing up black and feeling like I had to root my identity in my blackness was really just a sham, and it was taught to me for strategic purposes, is what I look back at it as.
00:29:00.000 So what were some of the stuff you were working on as a BLM activist?
00:29:03.000 What were you doing?
00:29:04.000 So I was online advocating a lot.
00:29:06.000 I wasn't a huge name as a BLM activist, but I was definitely helping organize some local events.
00:29:11.000 I was always posting on Instagram about, oh, this is racist.
00:29:14.000 This is what a microaggression is.
00:29:16.000 Pretty much teaching people to look at every single thing as racist.
00:29:20.000 And when I look back at those old videos and clips that I had, I just cringe.
00:29:24.000 Oh, man.
00:29:25.000 There's nothing—the left organizes so much better.
00:29:28.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:29:29.000 Just infinitely better.
00:29:30.000 But it was mainstream and popular, so it was easy, I'd imagine, right?
00:29:33.000 Like, you turn on the news, and they're telling you exactly what you want to hear.
00:29:37.000 Well, 2020, it was.
00:29:38.000 It definitely wasn't 2020.
00:29:39.000 Before that, people were leaning towards my direction, or they couldn't tell me I was wrong, because they still, even before George Floyd, didn't want to be called racist.
00:29:47.000 But at the time, yeah, I didn't have much pushback, and I would have conversations with conservatives and people on the other side of the aisle, and it was interesting that I didn't get the hatred that I now receive being on the other side.
00:29:59.000 Like, being a conservative and trying to have these exact same conversations with liberals, they don't want to talk to me.
00:30:05.000 Or if they do talk to me, it's such an angry conversation that's so based in emotion that it's so hard to get logic into the conversation.
00:30:13.000 So you're watching these Candace Owens videos.
00:30:14.000 You mentioned that she made the argument that the black community, how did you describe it?
00:30:20.000 Lowest common denominator.
00:30:21.000 Yeah, we take the lowest common denominator and make that the forefront of our community.
00:30:24.000 You still see that today.
00:30:25.000 Look at people like Cardi B putting put on the pedestal that she's on.
00:30:29.000 That's terrifying.
00:30:30.000 You have a stripper who notoriously was drugging men and robbing them and doing all these different things.
00:30:35.000 And guess who decides to interview her?
00:30:37.000 Joe Biden.
00:30:38.000 Joe Biden wants to give her a platform because that's how he feels that he can reach the black and Hispanic communities.
00:30:43.000 And that's very telling on how the left views people of color that he went and got someone that was borderline illiterate to be the person to convey his different talking points.
00:30:52.000 I do think it's fair to point out, though.
00:30:55.000 I think everybody elevates the lowest common denominator because it sells.
00:30:59.000 But that being said, I mean, if you compare Cardi B and Joe Biden, Joe Biden is corrupt and crooked and represents like the worst of American political class, as is Hillary Clinton.
00:31:11.000 And then here he is sitting with Cardi B.
00:31:13.000 I mean, I think, in that respect, I like Cardi B more than Joe Biden.
00:31:16.000 I mean, hasn't she come out and said some stuff that's actually fairly base?
00:31:19.000 She did call out the Dalai Lama for the weird stuff about... Yeah, she did.
00:31:23.000 She did say that that was weird, so she's got that going for her.
00:31:26.000 She said a couple different things.
00:31:27.000 Didn't she, like, call out taxes?
00:31:28.000 Inflation.
00:31:29.000 Inflation and stuff like that?
00:31:30.000 Because she's like, my grocery bill has gone up by, like, 500%.
00:31:32.000 Yeah.
00:31:34.000 I think she might just be, like, I think the issue is not so much Cardi B, but you're right in the elevation of like, lowest common denominator stuff.
00:31:43.000 Or I should say Candace Owens was right.
00:31:45.000 So what, when you heard that, that pissed you off because you didn't believe it or what?
00:31:49.000 It did, because then I started thinking specifically about George Floyd at the time.
00:31:52.000 And when you look back at his character and the kind of person he was, and even just the tragedy of what happened to him, when you look back at all of that, what about him was worth putting him on murals, putting him on all these buildings when you drive through these cities?
00:32:03.000 People have tattoos of George Floyd.
00:32:05.000 There's probably going to be streets named after him if there aren't already.
00:32:08.000 It's creepy.
00:32:09.000 I'm from Minnesota.
00:32:10.000 So I'm from that area, right?
00:32:12.000 And it's weird, too, because you think about it.
00:32:13.000 I'm like, if you get a tattoo of somebody like that, if you haven't at least done a cursory look into like their social media history, Like, you are owned by the media.
00:32:22.000 Like, if you're going to get somebody tattooed on you, or you're going to evangelize someone to that level, right?
00:32:28.000 You should, at the very least, have a general understanding.
00:32:31.000 You could make the argument that, look, I'm not tattooing him, I'm tattooing what his death represents.
00:32:37.000 You could make that argument.
00:32:38.000 I still think it's a bad argument, and it's weird, but you should at least look into what they're doing.
00:32:42.000 Most people aren't.
00:32:43.000 They just, they don't realize it, and they're not looking any deeper into it.
00:32:47.000 You weren't religious, I'd imagine, then, were you?
00:32:49.000 I am.
00:32:49.000 You were?
00:32:49.000 I always have been.
00:32:50.000 Oh, interesting.
00:32:51.000 But back then it wasn't as, like, devout as it is now.
00:32:54.000 Yeah.
00:32:54.000 It's definitely grown in the last couple years.
00:32:56.000 You start to learn stuff.
00:32:57.000 Yeah.
00:32:58.000 I only ask because there was that mural of George Floyd on the wall that got struck by lightning and it was just the George Floyd part and I'm just like, doing that.
00:33:06.000 I don't know, man.
00:33:07.000 God is so good.
00:33:09.000 I don't know.
00:33:10.000 I'm not going to prescribe good, bad, or whatever.
00:33:13.000 It just happened.
00:33:15.000 I just love getting an opportunity to talk about this happening.
00:33:18.000 There was a building.
00:33:19.000 They painted this big mural on the whole wall.
00:33:21.000 Right in the middle was George Floyd.
00:33:23.000 And for some reason, lightning struck the wall and blew up the brick portion with just George Floyd on it.
00:33:30.000 And I'm just freaked out.
00:33:32.000 People have to stop playing with God.
00:33:34.000 God's not here to play.
00:33:36.000 That's crazy.
00:33:36.000 I mean, false idols or whatever you want to call it.
00:33:39.000 But I mean, to the point where people are tattooing George Floyd on themselves.
00:33:43.000 And yeah, look man, it's like, we can lament criminal justice and degradation of culture.
00:33:48.000 We can lament this dude was chewing on a speedball or whatever.
00:33:52.000 We can say it's upsetting that he died and all that stuff.
00:33:55.000 But to the point where people put tattoos on their body of this guy?
00:33:58.000 They build statues for him?
00:34:00.000 That's insane!
00:34:02.000 I mean, that's just crazy.
00:34:03.000 Yeah, but people have done the same thing with Trayvon Martin and all that stuff.
00:34:07.000 So that's not going anywhere.
00:34:08.000 It's kind of what happens when the media becomes...
00:34:10.000 It's a cult, man.
00:34:11.000 Yeah, well, not that, but the media turns real life people and real life tragedy into
00:34:15.000 celebrity because you don't know where your television ends and where the actual news
00:34:19.000 story begins.
00:34:20.000 So real life people who have gone through real life experiences, whether good or bad,
00:34:25.000 are now the idols of certain people, especially people that are very, very aware of what's
00:34:30.000 going on in the news or think they are.
00:34:32.000 I still don't think Trayvon Martin was the best comparison to George Floyd, though, even
00:34:36.000 though it's all under that BLM umbrella.
00:34:38.000 Like, there were similarities, like you said.
00:34:40.000 It's not started?
00:34:41.000 Yeah, of course.
00:34:43.000 Back in 2008, I believe.
00:34:45.000 No, it was later than that.
00:34:46.000 12?
00:34:46.000 12, was it?
00:34:47.000 13?
00:34:47.000 2014, I thought.
00:34:49.000 Well, 12 was Mike Brown.
00:34:52.000 Yeah, I think it was 20... I think it was like 2013 or something?
00:34:55.000 I'm not sure about Trayvon, but I know that Mike Brown was 2012.
00:34:58.000 No, no, no.
00:34:58.000 Mike Brown was 2014, I'm pretty sure.
00:35:02.000 Yeah, but George Zimmerman, the person who killed Trayvon Martin didn't have any type of, I guess, just need to protect society.
00:35:11.000 I still feel like he's a pretty terrible person.
00:35:13.000 George Zimmerman himself has a really bad track record.
00:35:16.000 So I don't think it's as comparable with like, Derek Chauvin.
00:35:21.000 Michael Brown would have been the better example of the one.
00:35:23.000 Yeah, that's, yeah, that's, that's the better example that I'm thinking.
00:35:27.000 But those those people, those real life people have now been turned into a form of celebrity.
00:35:32.000 That people worship, and whether you actually look into it, you have to do a lot of research if you're actually going to look into something like that.
00:35:38.000 Well, let me ask you, so you're this activist, you're borderline socialist, they're gonna have you on TV, you start watching these videos, I imagine you quit the show, or you didn't go to them and be like, I got some things to say on this show, you know?
00:35:54.000 It was a tough time.
00:35:55.000 I was mortified.
00:35:57.000 Everybody, when I tell this story now, they just view all the positive of it, but you have to think, this is months of just turmoil of all these different things that I believed in for so long.
00:36:05.000 Being exposed is just not legitimate.
00:36:08.000 But it got to October, and I was getting ready to fly to London, and I just had this powwow with myself.
00:36:13.000 I'm like, I can't do this.
00:36:14.000 I don't stand for any of this anymore.
00:36:16.000 So I called them, and I just pretty much told them it just wasn't for me.
00:36:19.000 What did your friends and family think?
00:36:22.000 I didn't tell too many people I was in the process, actually, because they were pretty strict on the NDAs.
00:36:26.000 No, I mean, like, when you started discovering that a lot of the stuff you thought was not true, I imagine, like, you go to your friend and you're like... I have to imagine, because I've been there, where I'm hanging out at my friend's house, I'm in California, and they're, like, hanging around, like, drinking coffee, and then one of them just says something completely false.
00:36:45.000 And then it's, like, the first thing I think is, like, uh-oh.
00:36:48.000 What do I do?
00:36:49.000 You can't just come out and be like, you're wrong.
00:36:51.000 You know what I mean?
00:36:52.000 They're not going to take well to that.
00:36:53.000 They want to be an authority on this political ideology.
00:36:56.000 That's why they brought it up.
00:36:58.000 Yeah, it was definitely interesting.
00:36:59.000 I had a combination of everything.
00:37:01.000 A lot of my friends kind of started to make the journey with me becoming more conservatives because they knew how passionate I was about BLM and all the liberalism I stood for.
00:37:09.000 So for me to look at it and be like, I don't know about this anymore, especially with everything happening with COVID and everyone's trust in every institution starting to be questioned, a lot of people started to just support me regardless of what it was that I stood for.
00:37:22.000 On the other hand, I had people completely excommunicate me, including family members.
00:37:27.000 I have a sibling I haven't spoken to in years that just deleted me off of everything, hasn't spoken to me, and I have friends who have done the same thing, but I don't even view them as real friends.
00:37:38.000 I don't believe that actions like that Are related to like I think that's evidence to the fact they know you're right they to a certain degree that you're right they're driven by social acceptance not by fact or logic and so they're like you threaten their attempts to fit in so they have to remove you because we don't do that.
00:37:59.000 Like, the right tends not to do that.
00:38:01.000 I say tends not to because, you know, it's not absolute, but the libertarian, former liberal types, the conservative types are constantly trying to tell people, like, here's what I think and why, and the left is just more like, I don't want you to say what you think, you shouldn't be allowed.
00:38:16.000 Yeah, I'd say that's really, really prominent in the Black community.
00:38:19.000 The Black community has a tendency to put each other in a box, and the second you step out of that box, or as Candace Owen says, escaping the Democratic plantation, it's a huge issue.
00:38:28.000 Just as far as the music you're allowed to like, the clothes you're supposed to wear, the way you talk, the way that if you speak too eloquently, you're insulted in a lot of areas in the Black community.
00:38:38.000 We're even told, like, I remember being a kid, I'm in this area full of agriculture, And I was bullied by my family because I was going to take an FFA class.
00:38:47.000 They talked me out of doing it.
00:38:48.000 They're like, you're black.
00:38:49.000 You can't be in an agriculture class, which is so wrong to begin with for so many reasons.
00:38:54.000 But black people tend to put the shackles on our own feet.
00:38:58.000 And I keep telling people within the community and outside the community that you have to stop allowing yourself to be forced into a category.
00:39:05.000 You have to be able to look at the bigger picture of the world and just identify who you actually are rather than be told who you are because of your skin color.
00:39:13.000 Man.
00:39:15.000 So you made it though, huh?
00:39:16.000 PragerU hired you.
00:39:17.000 I made it.
00:39:18.000 PragerU's been good to me.
00:39:19.000 And that takes a lot of courage though, like to walk away from a support system like that.
00:39:23.000 In a lot of ways, those are the people that are structurally the most supportive to your upbringing in a lot of ways, right?
00:39:29.000 Like it's got to be very, very difficult to walk away from people that have been that instrumental in getting to you, you know, being a part of your life up until that point.
00:39:36.000 Yeah, I just have to change my mentality.
00:39:38.000 I didn't walk away from them.
00:39:39.000 They walked away from me.
00:39:40.000 So you have to accept when they're going to walk away from you.
00:39:43.000 Yeah, of course.
00:39:44.000 It's just one of those things I realized that if I'm not willing to stand on truth and integrity, then what is it that I actually represent?
00:39:50.000 Because if you don't stand for anything, you fall for everything, right?
00:39:53.000 And I just want to be able to look myself in the mirror if I continue to advocate for these things just because I'm told to, rather than recognizing the research that I've done and going out and being like, you know what?
00:40:03.000 This is actually the truth.
00:40:04.000 I was wrong.
00:40:05.000 So many people are afraid just to get online and admit that they're wrong, or even just person to person, but humility is one of the greatest things that you can possibly have.
00:40:13.000 And the media likes to shame doing your own research now.
00:40:15.000 You're not supposed to do your own research anymore.
00:40:18.000 That's very dangerous.
00:40:20.000 We had Winston Marshall from Mumford & Sons on last week.
00:40:24.000 And so his story is, he reads books, and he had like no followers, but I mean Mumford & Sons is a huge band, no joke.
00:40:31.000 Look at their discography, it's like their first album hit number two Billboard, then every other album was number one when it released.
00:40:36.000 They were huge.
00:40:38.000 And so he tweets out like, just read Andy Ngo's book, very great, good work Andy Ngo, and they attacked him for it.
00:40:44.000 He basically is forced to issue an apology.
00:40:46.000 And then, I mean, this dude's amazing.
00:40:48.000 Shout out to this guy.
00:40:49.000 There's a reason why he was part of a band that rose to the top.
00:40:54.000 He said he didn't want to live the lie.
00:40:56.000 He couldn't live with himself knowing that he put up this fake apology.
00:40:59.000 He thought to himself, what am I going to do?
00:41:00.000 Go to all my friends and family and say, I believe this thing.
00:41:04.000 I can't do it.
00:41:04.000 I don't actually believe.
00:41:05.000 So he was like, he decided, you know what, fine.
00:41:08.000 To save his bandmates from this scandal and controversy and crisis, he's going to leave the band and then he's going to come out publicly, retract his apology and say, here's what I really think.
00:41:21.000 So they went after him.
00:41:22.000 He thought about it and said, Nah, he would rather be true to himself with all of the anger and hate around him than to live a lie.
00:41:30.000 I imagine that's it felt like kind of what you were conveying too.
00:41:34.000 Yeah, for sure.
00:41:35.000 I have so much respect for that.
00:41:36.000 And I always tell people like to an extent you have to prioritize your peace.
00:41:40.000 So if you are not willing to be outspoken about everything that you believe in at least be willing to stand firm and stand against the things that you don't believe in.
00:41:49.000 Like, especially with things like when you're seeing all the kids going to drag shows.
00:41:49.000 Yeah.
00:41:53.000 You don't have to necessarily go out and just say, like, everything about your conservative values, but you at least have to look at something as foul as little children being at a drag show and being able to say, you know what?
00:42:04.000 We need to stop this.
00:42:05.000 There has to be some level of pushback.
00:42:07.000 But isn't, I mean, I have to imagine, I'll put it this way, there's tropes about the black community actually being fairly conservative, right?
00:42:15.000 Oh yeah.
00:42:15.000 Not, like, the left would call it homophobic, call it whatever you want.
00:42:19.000 So I have to imagine this stuff doesn't go over well.
00:42:22.000 Oh, it doesn't.
00:42:23.000 It doesn't at all.
00:42:24.000 I've been saying that for so long.
00:42:25.000 A lot of black people now, and this goes for pretty much every ethnicity, especially Hispanic and Asian communities, where there are so many conservative values that are just instilled in these minority groups as families, but they still continue to vote Democratic because they're told to.
00:42:41.000 Because if you ask so many of these people in these communities, why is it that you vote Democratic?
00:42:44.000 It's like, that's what I was told to do as a kid.
00:42:46.000 Yeah.
00:42:47.000 That's what my whole family does.
00:42:48.000 I mean, I was told to.
00:42:49.000 I remember going with my family and I'm told like, so who am I voting?
00:42:52.000 Just Democrat all the way down.
00:42:53.000 And I'm like, well, okay, I guess.
00:42:55.000 They have done such a Amazing job of branding the right as inherently racist, but not just that, as somehow the party of money, even though all evidence points to the contrary now that big business votes goes to the left now.
00:43:10.000 All of the corporations are behind leftist values.
00:43:13.000 But when you read these articles from these outlets, they talk about the right being the party of money.
00:43:19.000 Briefly.
00:43:19.000 I met her once.
00:43:20.000 It was like a really quick passing by, but we've met each other a few times.
00:43:23.000 because like you said, a lot of them aren't going to do the research necessary to actually go out and figure that out.
00:43:28.000 Have you had a chance to talk with Candace Owens about all this?
00:43:31.000 Briefly. I met her once. It was like a really quick passing by, but we've met each other a few times.
00:43:37.000 She's been super supportive of me.
00:43:38.000 Yeah, I imagine that would be one heck of a conversation to be honest.
00:43:41.000 Oh yeah, I can't wait till the time I get to just sit down and really pick her brain on things.
00:43:45.000 What's funny about what you said about trying to debunk the PragerU five minute videos, those would be the hardest ones to debunk because it's literally a lot of them are just listed facts.
00:43:55.000 It would be like impossible to go through that.
00:43:57.000 You'd have to literally, if they were lying, they'd be like the most lies you've ever seen in a row because most of them are just, those are like a lot of my favorite videos that they did back Well, I recently just did, I did two PragerU five minute videos.
00:44:09.000 Yeah, you did.
00:44:10.000 And I think, I don't know if they're both out yet, maybe one of them, but it was like specific references to things that happened.
00:44:17.000 And like the summary of the video is based on like, here's the thing that happened, here's what the media said, here's what the government responded with.
00:44:22.000 I think we talked about Mike Brown, Michael Brown, and how the activists said, hands up, don't shoot.
00:44:27.000 But then Obama's Justice Department said, actually, that's not true.
00:44:31.000 So it's who's lying, Obama or the activists?
00:44:34.000 Eric Holder was the AG and Obama was the president.
00:44:38.000 They investigated and found that Michael Brown did not have his hands up.
00:44:42.000 So I mean, it's clear that Michael Brown did not have his hands up.
00:44:48.000 That was a lie from day one.
00:44:50.000 Let's talk about what's going on in Chicago.
00:44:52.000 We got this story from Fox News.
00:44:54.000 Teen takeover terrorizes Chicago as hundreds of teenagers destroy property and attack tourists.
00:45:00.000 So Saturday?
00:45:02.000 A weekend?
00:45:03.000 I mean, look, I'd love to go in on that joke with you, my friend, but no, no.
00:45:08.000 Worse than normal?
00:45:10.000 This is nuts!
00:45:12.000 I've seen estimates of hundreds to thousands of teenagers romping through the city, jumping on cars, setting vehicles on fire, smashing windows.
00:45:20.000 Just today it was reported they tried breaking into the Art Institute.
00:45:24.000 It's only April, too.
00:45:25.000 And it's only April.
00:45:25.000 I mean, summer's gonna get wild.
00:45:28.000 And it's happening in L.A.
00:45:30.000 So, I don't know.
00:45:31.000 The Art Institute, I have to imagine, has probably got billions of dollars worth of art in there.
00:45:35.000 And if they got in, it would have been like...
00:45:38.000 History being ransacked.
00:45:39.000 Apparently, I don't know how it went down, but they're trying to break in and two of the teens got shot.
00:45:44.000 Gunshots ring out, everyone scatters.
00:45:46.000 There's no reason.
00:45:47.000 This is not a protest.
00:45:48.000 They're not pissed off about anything.
00:45:50.000 This is just societal and cultural breakdown of people rampaging through the cities.
00:45:55.000 There's these videos.
00:45:56.000 I can't even play these videos for you on YouTube.
00:45:58.000 That's how crazy it is.
00:45:59.000 There's videos, there's a woman standing in a doorway at a building, doing nothing.
00:46:04.000 They run up, grab her, and just start mercilessly beating her for no reason.
00:46:09.000 Yo, it's getting crazy.
00:46:10.000 Just grabbed her by the head, and you could see people, like, you could see people just hooking her.
00:46:15.000 No reason.
00:46:15.000 Yeah.
00:46:16.000 New mayor in charge yet?
00:46:17.000 I don't think he's in charge yet, but I'm pretty sure he did come out and he said it's not constructive to vilify the group of rowdy teens that torched cars in Rampage organized on social media.
00:46:31.000 You know what though?
00:46:33.000 I mean, it's horrifying to see what's happening.
00:46:35.000 It's happening in LA too.
00:46:37.000 It's probably coming to a city near you.
00:46:39.000 But I gotta be honest.
00:46:40.000 I mean, I'm happy for the people of Chicago.
00:46:43.000 I'm very happy.
00:46:44.000 I mean, that woman?
00:46:46.000 I don't know her personally, but there's a very strong possibility she voted for this.
00:46:53.000 Look, so I'll put it this way.
00:46:54.000 Yeah, I know.
00:46:55.000 Nobody should be attacked.
00:46:56.000 It shouldn't happen.
00:46:57.000 And this lady is an individual.
00:46:59.000 I don't blame her for any of this.
00:47:01.000 But as a body of citizens, Chicago has been under Democrat control for over a hundred years.
00:47:07.000 And this, all of this stuff.
00:47:09.000 So you made the joke another Saturday?
00:47:11.000 Yeah.
00:47:11.000 Because of the perception of what Chicago is?
00:47:13.000 Having grown up there, I've certainly seen similar things to this, but never this bad.
00:47:18.000 And at this point now, I'm like, I'm not surprised.
00:47:21.000 This is the trajectory of the city.
00:47:24.000 You keep voting for this stuff over and over again.
00:47:27.000 Don't be surprised.
00:47:28.000 The new mayor-elect says, don't demonize them.
00:47:31.000 It's not constructive.
00:47:33.000 I don't understand how anybody could be shocked that this is happening in Chicago.
00:47:37.000 I mean, there's already a culture that looting and rioting has no consequences.
00:47:40.000 There hasn't been accountability in that city in a very long time.
00:47:43.000 You can even see what the mayor-elect is saying doesn't take accountability.
00:47:46.000 And the other part of his statement, I read that he was saying something along the lines of how you can't blame these kids because this is a city that doesn't have enough opportunities for them.
00:47:55.000 It is the left's fault that there's not opportunity there because why would any company want to be located in Chicago where they're going to have their buildings burned down, they're going to be robbed, there's going to be shootings every day, they're losing money, but then you're upset when they leave Chicago even though you've done nothing to protect them.
00:48:12.000 You're always demonizing them.
00:48:13.000 You're always saying that they need to pay more in taxes.
00:48:15.000 You have not made the city of Chicago a place that any business would want to be or a place that any business could survive.
00:48:21.000 And now you're shocked that the kids there, quote unquote, don't have enough opportunity.
00:48:25.000 It's not on purpose.
00:48:27.000 And this was happening during 2020 riots in Minnesota, right?
00:48:31.000 Businesses would get looted and shut down or bricks through the window and then stores that people need to go to, to be able to get supplies, things that actually matter, you know, whether it's groceries, things like that, you know, baby formula.
00:48:43.000 And then nobody can get to them for days at a time while they're either repairing what's going on there or they're just simply waiting out the riots to end and nobody, it doesn't ever click in their brain that in a lot of ways when you live in the city, I wasn't even living in Minneapolis at the time.
00:48:58.000 I was in the outskirts.
00:48:59.000 Paul and this stuff was still happening.
00:48:59.000 I was in West St.
00:49:01.000 And you understand that this is going to keep happening unless you learn to vote in people who are willing to put into place different policies.
00:49:10.000 Or at the very least, keep them in jail and not just let them out on bail right away.
00:49:14.000 That's what they're doing.
00:49:15.000 And if you look back at the old videos of the looting and rioting that happened, look very closely at those videos.
00:49:21.000 You will be hard-pressed to find someone stealing eggs or a pack of chicken Or something that they need to put food on the table or even blankets for their kids to stay warm.
00:49:30.000 No, they're selling TVs.
00:49:32.000 They're selling AirPods.
00:49:33.000 They're selling all these things that they don't need and saying it's in the name of reparations.
00:49:37.000 But they're not doing this for anything productive.
00:49:40.000 It's just complete selfishness with no accountability.
00:49:43.000 Remember when AOC said they're looting because they need bread?
00:49:48.000 And everyone's like, have you seen a video of them looting?
00:49:50.000 Dude, they're stealing shoes.
00:49:52.000 You can argue they need shoes, but like, they're stealing good shoes.
00:49:55.000 And the counters are still full of bread!
00:49:57.000 Nobody even took the bread!
00:49:59.000 They walked past the bread!
00:50:00.000 Did you see the video of the lady who asked for the thousand dollars and said, this is my Rosa Parks moment at the Target?
00:50:08.000 What?
00:50:09.000 Okay.
00:50:09.000 No.
00:50:10.000 Did you see this?
00:50:11.000 No.
00:50:11.000 Okay, so this lady basically says, like, she wants to get her stuff for free and starts, like, harassing the lady who works at the Target or whatever.
00:50:21.000 And the security guard, she starts yelling at the security guard and backs the security guard up into his office and the dude just knocks her out.
00:50:27.000 Wow.
00:50:27.000 And then she got arrested because she got in everyone's face and got physical.
00:50:32.000 This is where we're going, man.
00:50:33.000 And she called it her Rosa Parks moment and said that the groceries for reparations for I feel like all of these policies put forth by Democrats are actually intended to harm Democrats.
00:50:44.000 And then you get these Democrat voters being like, for some reason Republicans keep voting against their own interests.
00:50:49.000 And it's like, dude, the social welfare policies are actually ruining the economic standards, ruining families, making things worse.
00:50:58.000 They want you to sterilize and abort your kids.
00:51:01.000 I don't think they like you very much.
00:51:03.000 I think their policies are intent on making your life worse.
00:51:06.000 And you look at what's going on in Chicago, and when this guy says, when this mayor, like, says, don't, this is Brandon Johnson, don't demonize these teenage boys, two of them, 16 and 17, were shot!
00:51:15.000 And he's like, well, you know, they, it's almost like they want this stuff to happen.
00:51:19.000 Bad things to all the people of this city.
00:51:22.000 But you know what, man?
00:51:23.000 I can't be mad about it, because they voted for it.
00:51:26.000 So it's like, if you're a conservative, or a moderate, and you live in Chicago, I guess at this point I'm like, I'm sorry that this is happening to you, I guess.
00:51:36.000 But like, you're choosing to live in a city where all of this stuff is going down.
00:51:40.000 And I know people always say, oh, but it's like, you don't understand, I don't have the money, I can't move, it's too hard.
00:51:46.000 The example that I give is, if your house was on fire, you wouldn't stop and think, well, I could leave, but I have nowhere else to go.
00:51:53.000 No, you run out the door.
00:51:54.000 You stand barefoot outside thinking, what do I do now?
00:51:57.000 So these people who are saying like, I can't get out of Chicago, all you're really telling me is the fire hasn't reached your house yet.
00:52:02.000 You can't convince me that the left is not a death cult, because everything that they stand for, both legislatively and ideologically, just relate to the demise of society.
00:52:12.000 Whether it's obesity, whether it's how hard they push for abortion, whether it's allowing all these crimes and murders to happen in the cities.
00:52:19.000 Everything that you look at with them leads to depopulation, or it leads to just less people happening.
00:52:25.000 Even everything with same-sexes, like they don't even want these to heterosexual couples to be able to have kids.
00:52:32.000 They're wanting to sterilize kids with the trans stuff.
00:52:34.000 Everything that the left does leads to death.
00:52:37.000 Has anybody else noticed that?
00:52:38.000 Yeah, and that's why I was saying, like, I don't think they like you very much.
00:52:41.000 Like, you go to your politician and the Republican guy says, hey man, you should have more kids.
00:52:47.000 It's like, okay, he's basically telling you to survive.
00:52:50.000 He likes you.
00:52:51.000 There should be more of you.
00:52:52.000 These Democrats go, have you considered aborting that baby?
00:52:55.000 And it's like, that's something you would say to someone you don't like.
00:52:59.000 Like you go to, if there's like these two women, right, imagine there's two women, and one woman is pregnant, and they hate each other's guts.
00:53:06.000 Yeah, one woman's gonna go to the other one and be like, abort your kid.
00:53:09.000 Like, that's not a nice thing to say to somebody.
00:53:11.000 They'll probably call themselves humanists as well.
00:53:14.000 They'll say we are secular humanists, and they'll tell you that they believe that they want good things for the human race, but they want fewer humans.
00:53:23.000 It's not that they dislike you, it's that they like the planet more.
00:53:26.000 Therefore, they want the planet to survive, because humans, according to them, are basically a blight.
00:53:30.000 Dude, look at this video.
00:53:32.000 Look at this video.
00:53:33.000 This is Compton, California gas station, and these street takeovers have been happening all over the city, where people are just smashing their way in.
00:53:43.000 Just, that's it.
00:53:44.000 Welcome to life in Los Angeles.
00:53:47.000 And this is similar to Chicago.
00:53:49.000 The crazy thing is, there's like this video of one dude just like smacking a bunch of condoms off a shelf into the air.
00:53:56.000 And it's like, he's not looting, dude.
00:53:57.000 It's not even ransacking.
00:53:58.000 It's just, it's rampage.
00:54:00.000 And all it takes is one person that decides they want to be violent.
00:54:04.000 Like, they could be all looters except for one dude that's just like, all right, I'm gonna go in there and I'm gonna break the guy, you know, the person working behind the counter's face open.
00:54:13.000 And those type of agitators end up at those types of events on purpose.
00:54:17.000 Absolutely.
00:54:17.000 Absolutely.
00:54:18.000 Because they get the opportunity.
00:54:20.000 It's like people talk about, um, people talk about, you know, the church when priests that are molesting kids or whether it's schools and stuff, the thing is they go where the access is.
00:54:31.000 Predators go where the access is.
00:54:32.000 So predators are going to go to where people are rioting.
00:54:36.000 So that way, if they want to be violent for no reason, they're going to go where the riots are.
00:54:39.000 This is a story from Ferguson.
00:54:41.000 When I was on the ground, and the hardcore fans of TeamCast have heard me tell the story a billion times, so bear with us for those that didn't hear it.
00:54:49.000 Simple version is, a bunch of young black men linked arms to protect the liquor store that Michael Brown had stolen the cigarillos from.
00:54:57.000 And when they were interviewed by a guy from Al Jazeera, he's like, why are you protecting the store?
00:55:00.000 They said, the people who are looting and burning down these stores don't live here.
00:55:05.000 Our community is being destroyed right now.
00:55:08.000 I remember out watching across the street a bunch of people ran and smashed windows, started stealing stuff from a bunch of stores.
00:55:13.000 And the locals who lived there were begging for help to stop the rioting.
00:55:17.000 But people from other neighborhoods said, now's our chance, and came in and started stealing and destroying things.
00:55:23.000 And then leftists wrote an article saying, in defense of looting.
00:55:28.000 And all of these white liberals come out and said, the reason that they're rioting and looting in their own neighborhood is because they're resisting the bourgeoisie and the elites.
00:55:38.000 And I'm like, bro, I was there.
00:55:39.000 The people who live there were begging for help to stop the looting of their neighborhood.
00:55:44.000 Like, nobody wants their gas station burned down.
00:55:47.000 Nobody wants their local food court burned down.
00:55:50.000 It's the people who don't live there who are stealing everything they can and then fleeing, and the left was coming in and cheering for it.
00:55:57.000 And people who don't live there making excuses for the people that are coming into town stealing.
00:56:01.000 I gotta say, I really do think that a lot of these liberal leftist types are actually overtly white supremacist and just pretending not to be.
00:56:10.000 Because think about what they've done.
00:56:11.000 Remember that video where the two white women are vandalizing property in a black neighborhood?
00:56:16.000 And the two black girls are like, stop destroying our neighborhood!
00:56:19.000 And like, don't worry, we're doing it for you.
00:56:21.000 Like, come on, man.
00:56:23.000 Take the context out of this and say, just go up to any leftist, any of your liberal friends, not leftists, but like a liberal friend and say, if you saw two white people destroying a black neighbor, what would you think?
00:56:33.000 Because I'll tell you what a conservative would think, like, oh, Antifa again, huh?
00:56:36.000 Because we get it, because people on the right, people libertarian, I don't mean to imply I'm conservative, I'm saying people who are post-liberal, who are libertarian, freedom faction I like to call it, have been paying attention to the news and see this incessant white liberal rampaging in black neighborhoods that happened especially in 2020.
00:56:55.000 And then they come out and they say, we're here to support you, and then they burn down your grocery store.
00:56:59.000 Yeah, sorry, I don't believe you.
00:57:01.000 I think you might just be a white supremacist in the classical sense.
00:57:04.000 They destroy your neighborhood and they run off businesses, but they are here to help, guys.
00:57:09.000 When they write a book called In Defense of Looting, I think it's a book now.
00:57:13.000 Yeah, it is.
00:57:14.000 I gotta think that you're actually just a white supremacist who wants to go and ruin the... You know, they talk about the bombing of Black Wall Street.
00:57:22.000 You familiar with this?
00:57:23.000 Was it Tulsa, I think it was?
00:57:25.000 I believe so.
00:57:26.000 And what am I supposed to think about what they're doing?
00:57:30.000 When you see two white women destroying black businesses and they say, don't worry, we're doing it for you.
00:57:35.000 I'm kind of like, I don't know.
00:57:36.000 It feels a whole lot like that, you know, what Democrats have always done.
00:57:40.000 You know, I just don't believe you.
00:57:42.000 And here we are today.
00:57:43.000 This is what they do.
00:57:44.000 They claim they fight for you, but they actively harm you.
00:57:47.000 Not that Republicans are doing a whole lot for Republicans, mind you, but still.
00:57:51.000 One of the weirdest things back when I was in the BLM culture and at some of these protests,
00:57:55.000 I would, and to be clear, I never looted and I never rioted.
00:57:58.000 I always thought that was insane, but I would try to point out some of the things that were
00:58:02.000 really weird to me. Like, when I would watch the looting happening, I would watch it on Twitch,
00:58:07.000 and I would see white, I'm assuming Antifa members, breaking into these buildings in these
00:58:12.000 predominantly black neighborhoods.
00:58:14.000 And I would ask myself, I'm like, why are white people going in and destroying these black-owned Businesses, and then saying that it's for racial justice.
00:58:22.000 I didn't understand it, but when I would bring those type of things up at the rallies, people would turn to me and be like, oh, either you're all in or you're all out.
00:58:30.000 Like, I would just be shut down.
00:58:31.000 Like, it was not a conversation.
00:58:33.000 When I would bring up like, there's so many white people here, it's like, how many of them are stealing and saying it's in the name of reparations?
00:58:38.000 It was the weirdest thing to me that nobody was willing to actually point out all the black communities being destroyed.
00:58:44.000 Yeah.
00:58:45.000 Is part of that just because they feel like they need to organize and they need to do something, therefore, if they're not allowed to criticize it, they just have to accept it for them?
00:58:53.000 Well, I think that's definitely a big part of it.
00:58:56.000 And I think part of it was they knew that what they were fighting for wasn't as concrete as they wanted it to be.
00:59:02.000 So the second you start poking any holes into BLM and that entire narrative that the woke
00:59:06.000 left had and still has, things start to crumble apart.
00:59:10.000 So they don't want any holes poked in it at all.
00:59:13.000 You have to believe in every single thing that they say or you're kicked out of the
00:59:15.000 cult.
00:59:16.000 And they shut you down if you do try to speak about it anyways.
00:59:20.000 Yeah, I mean, you see that currently there's a kerfuffle on the left about Anna Kasparian.
00:59:20.000 Absolutely.
00:59:27.000 She made some remarks about her disliking birthing people.
00:59:32.000 She doesn't want to be called a birthing person.
00:59:34.000 Yeah, I think that was the phrase.
00:59:35.000 Or a person with a womb.
00:59:36.000 Shocking!
00:59:37.000 I caught a stream.
00:59:39.000 Sitch and Adam were doing a stream.
00:59:41.000 They were covering a bunch of left Left-leaning people some people from the serfs and Matt Bender was on there and they were they were just tearing her down Like just saying she's not allowed to say this like really making it clear that it was unacceptable that she had stepped out of line and hadn't had Express a dissenting opinion
01:00:02.000 It's just absolutely a guess, and they went on and on, and apparently there was two different streams where these five or six people were going at her.
01:00:10.000 So it's not a surprise to hear that at all.
01:00:13.000 And it's something that I think that the left has a significant problem with, the fact that you can't have a dissenting opinion.
01:00:20.000 We're gonna have one of those guys on the show, I think, not this week, maybe in a week or two.
01:00:25.000 A big lefty Twitter personality.
01:00:28.000 I think one of the reasons that is, too, is because the media tends to parrot their beliefs right back at them, because they believe the same thing that the media believes.
01:00:36.000 So they're never challenged on a daily basis.
01:00:38.000 If you are center-right or libertarian, Your views are constantly challenged by the media you take in.
01:00:45.000 You know, if you're taking in any type of mainstream media, you're having your viewpoint challenged.
01:00:51.000 You might think they're wrong and most of the time they are, but you're at least being given opposing viewpoints on a regular basis.
01:00:58.000 And if you don't, if you're not used to hearing that, that's a lot of times shocking and that's where the emotional responses tend to come in.
01:01:04.000 Yep.
01:01:06.000 Yep.
01:01:09.000 Let's, uh, let's, I was waiting to jump to this story.
01:01:12.000 So this one is, uh, this is a sad tale.
01:01:15.000 A sad tale from our good friend Hank Green.
01:01:17.000 Now if you don't know Hank Green, he's one of the OG YouTubers.
01:01:20.000 And, uh, he tweeted this.
01:01:22.000 Which universe is the better one?
01:01:24.000 One with humans?
01:01:25.000 One without humans?
01:01:26.000 Well I voted for the one with humans because I'm human and I live here.
01:01:29.000 But, uh, 41.1% said one without humans.
01:01:30.000 He responded.
01:01:34.000 I keep trying to do other versions of this poll, thinking that there's something wrong with the question.
01:01:39.000 But it really does seem like 40% of you think humans shouldn't exist.
01:01:45.000 And I find that so deeply outside of my perspective, that I need to do a lot of thinking.
01:01:49.000 He then added a little bit later, I feel like if an AI was like, quote, I'm 40% sure the universe without humans would be better, we'd be pretty worried.
01:02:00.000 Here's the funny thing.
01:02:02.000 These people don't get it.
01:02:03.000 People like Hank Green.
01:02:05.000 He's a default liberal.
01:02:06.000 He's surrounded by default liberals and leftists.
01:02:09.000 They hate human beings.
01:02:10.000 So you were just mentioning it earlier that it seems like, you know, a lot of their policies are actually just to harm you.
01:02:17.000 And I was mentioning something similar.
01:02:19.000 Yeah, here's the easy way to explain it.
01:02:23.000 Hank Green's audience, probably swinging much more left, he's like a VidCon guy, he's a major mainstream personality with, you know, so liberals probably follow him 80-90%.
01:02:34.000 If you're a Democrat politician and you see a poll like this, you know what that means?
01:02:38.000 You're going to cater to the people who don't like human beings.
01:02:41.000 So you're out there campaigning and you're like, look, Half of these people are really concerned about their right to abortion because they have a lot of loose sex with a lot of men.
01:02:49.000 And they want to be able to get abortions if they get pregnant.
01:02:52.000 Fine.
01:02:53.000 The other half just don't want humans to be alive anymore.
01:02:56.000 Same solution to both problems.
01:02:59.000 Certainly then the Democrats are going to advocate for that.
01:03:03.000 It's a lot of the same people who have been consuming a lot of nihilistic propaganda on social media for years about climate change.
01:03:10.000 Every type of human invention that's ever been created is destroying the environment.
01:03:15.000 Everything we've ever done and succeeded is in some way been reframed as a negative for the human experience.
01:03:21.000 And I actually, what you were talking about earlier about social media and how they will sometimes mess with the algorithm.
01:03:27.000 I get that on Sundays.
01:03:28.000 I swear, on Instagram, Sundays become the most nihilistic place ever on Instagram.
01:03:32.000 It's nothing but the world is going to end in 10 years, manufacturing is destroying the world, and it's all this.
01:03:38.000 And they consume that content all the time.
01:03:41.000 And they've been led to believe that this type of hatred of humanity isn't just good, but something to be valorized.
01:03:46.000 And you know what they do?
01:03:48.000 They complain about how there's like a great extinction phase happening and how humans are, the human actions are killing off all of these different forms of life, but they never stop to talk about the strange scientific experiments we're doing to bring life back, like trying to clone a woolly mammoth or pulling ancient viruses out of the ice sheets and resurrecting them.
01:04:07.000 These are all great ideas.
01:04:08.000 These are all great ideas that humans are doing.
01:04:11.000 Actually, when people saw that stuff during COVID, they're like, maybe you shouldn't.
01:04:15.000 Maybe you should just not bring stuff out of the ice caps until we know for sure it's going to hurt.
01:04:19.000 But simply put, it really does feel like, you know, everyone's always trying to figure out what the divide is.
01:04:25.000 Like, I've seen people say it's nationalist versus globalist.
01:04:28.000 And it's like, that's a component of that.
01:04:29.000 And I think it's algorithmic cult versus independent thought.
01:04:34.000 But there is a component of humans are good and humans are bad.
01:04:37.000 There is a component of, you know, God is real and there is no God.
01:04:42.000 And if you're a nihilist and you think nothing matters, there's no morality and everything is subjective, why would you want humans to be around at all?
01:04:50.000 It's like Doctor Manhattan in Watchmen when he was like on Mars and he's like, would any of this be made better by humans?
01:04:56.000 And the answer is yes, it would be!
01:04:58.000 I mean, at least from a human perspective because that's what we are and that's what we strive for, the feelings and experiences of being human.
01:05:04.000 I mean, I don't know, I was watching this little bird build a nest the other day and I'm like, I wonder what bird society must be like.
01:05:09.000 Do you think they're like, you know, life is good, life is bad, do you think they get depressed?
01:05:14.000 I think a lot of this for a lot of the best way to describe this for me the best experience that I've had knowing that people are very nihilistic right now is when we had sunshine in like January or February it was like really nice out and people like well it's because of climate change but we might as well enjoy it while we're here.
01:05:30.000 Yeah.
01:05:31.000 I mean, it didn't snow.
01:05:32.000 No, we got like none this year.
01:05:34.000 And I was talking to some old guy, he's like, that's the first time, he's like 60 years old, he's like, it's the first time in my life I didn't get any snow.
01:05:34.000 None.
01:05:40.000 And I'm like, oh, that's kind of crazy.
01:05:42.000 But of course, the issue is not so much about whether or not there's snow, it's about whether or not humans are the direct impact.
01:05:48.000 And so, you know, what I see are causing the crisis, what I see with the left is like, One without humans.
01:05:57.000 What would this planet be without humans?
01:05:58.000 It would just be a moist ball of rust?
01:06:02.000 Some kind of exotic rust on it?
01:06:04.000 Oxidization process?
01:06:06.000 And you know, these people that vote to say that the world would be better without humans are the exact same people with the exact same mentality about America.
01:06:13.000 They live in America as if they have to be, and then they're so anti-American, they're always saying that they want to see the downfall of America, but where is better?
01:06:22.000 Yeah.
01:06:23.000 They never actually give you an answer, not usually.
01:06:26.000 No, it's parts of places that exist.
01:06:29.000 They want an a la carte society where they can say, this is good in this place, this is good in this place, this is good in this place, so let's take all these things and bring them here.
01:06:38.000 They imagine that they can just manufacture the society if they just say, these are the things that we want and we'll just bring them here.
01:06:46.000 And it's as if the people that are involved don't matter at all.
01:06:50.000 And it's the blank slate applied to societies.
01:06:54.000 Societies have cultures.
01:06:55.000 Societies have history.
01:06:56.000 Societies have different values from one society to another.
01:06:59.000 So you can't just replicate the good things about one society in your society without having some kind of negative consequences or unforeseen consequences at least.
01:07:13.000 I think that it's a lot of the idea that it is as simple as just, well, that works over there, so how come it doesn't work over here?
01:07:20.000 It was the same mistake that we made when we went to Iraq.
01:07:23.000 The idea that we could just implement democracy in Iraq.
01:07:26.000 Like, oh, just get rid of the strong arm guy and we'll make a democracy and it'll work fine.
01:07:32.000 And that's not the way that people work.
01:07:34.000 The CIA's been doing that for years now.
01:07:36.000 We're bringing democracy all over the place.
01:07:38.000 We're working awesome.
01:07:40.000 It's really simple.
01:07:41.000 Is the glass half full or is the glass half empty?
01:07:43.000 I've noticed and this was long before I became politically aware hate this like seemed to have a if not a hatred of
01:07:50.000 this country They're embarrassed to be from here and I never understood
01:07:54.000 it. It's really simple is the glass half full or is the glass half empty?
01:07:57.000 You know, are you are you excited that there is water in your water bottle or are you like angry because it's half
01:08:04.000 gone?
01:08:05.000 The glass is racist.
01:08:07.000 I'm just glad that I can drink the water here.
01:08:09.000 But this is this is this is like I guess the thing may like the real divide may be optimism versus pessimism.
01:08:15.000 If you look at the history of the United States, you can look at it a bunch of different ways.
01:08:18.000 You can be honest and say there's a lot of really awful stuff and a lot of really good stuff.
01:08:22.000 Or you can be angry and just say, this country is bad no matter what.
01:08:26.000 It's all bad, period.
01:08:27.000 It's born of bad.
01:08:28.000 It's bad.
01:08:28.000 It's bad.
01:08:29.000 That's stupid.
01:08:30.000 And that's depressive.
01:08:32.000 So these people are nihilistic.
01:08:35.000 Half of them probably just want to burn everything down because they hate humans.
01:08:37.000 The other half refuse to seek out the good because there's something wrong with them, I guess.
01:08:44.000 You know, I look back at American history and if someone comes to me and says, do you know what the Americans did to the Native Americans?
01:08:50.000 And you know, in this place, in that place, and I'll be like, oh yeah, I read about that.
01:08:53.000 That's awful.
01:08:54.000 I can't believe they would do that.
01:08:55.000 And then it's like, do you also know about the good things this country has done over the past several hundred years as we've dramatically improved upon all of those things and got to the point where you have now been educated in publicly funded institutions explaining, we think those are bad things.
01:09:10.000 Yeah.
01:09:10.000 Think about the college student who's like, America is awful and racist.
01:09:14.000 I learned that at a publicly funded university.
01:09:16.000 The government's paying you so you can learn about how we don't like those things anymore and they still think this country is a problem.
01:09:24.000 I think the end result is just the left will cease to exist.
01:09:29.000 You know, they try to indoctrinate your kids, the only thing they can do, but it's not working.
01:09:34.000 And then the right is going to just have a bunch of babies and then 20 years, you know, there we go.
01:09:38.000 You don't think it's working?
01:09:40.000 Like the education stuff?
01:09:41.000 I'm saying that you don't think that the indoctrination from the left is working in my eyes?
01:09:44.000 No, it's not working.
01:09:45.000 Uh-uh.
01:09:45.000 You don't think so?
01:09:47.000 Why?
01:09:48.000 So, for one, shows like this, we consistently have like the highest live viewer count on YouTube, which is a good sign.
01:09:54.000 You can see like the Budweiser backlash, the view being desperate.
01:09:58.000 Obviously, there is leftist indoctrination.
01:10:01.000 It is very strong.
01:10:02.000 But I'm speaking specifically referring to kids.
01:10:05.000 It is, in my opinion, not working.
01:10:08.000 Okay.
01:10:09.000 So, simply put, when parents realize what's happening at their schools, start pulling their kids out, when there is now a national conversation around school choice and getting kids out of public schools and moving away from these places, it didn't work.
01:10:22.000 And what I mean, ultimately, is I think conservatives are going to have more kids.
01:10:27.000 Those kids are more likely to be conservative.
01:10:30.000 They're going to learn from their parents.
01:10:32.000 The parents are waking up, not all of them, but many of them are waking up to what's going on in schools.
01:10:36.000 The left is beginning to fail with places like Florida and other states reforming these laws and banning this stuff.
01:10:42.000 It may lead to hyperpolarization, but ultimately, if you're advocating, if there were two countries, And they were at odds with each other.
01:10:51.000 And on one side they were saying, have more babies!
01:10:54.000 Have more babies, discipline yourself, strengthen yourself, eat right, exercise.
01:10:58.000 And the other country was saying, be as fat as you want!
01:11:01.000 Abort your children and sterilize them!
01:11:03.000 Would there be any question to which country would cease to exist in 20 years?
01:11:09.000 None whatsoever.
01:11:10.000 So just because we are the United States doesn't mean to me that there is a mesh here.
01:11:17.000 Clearly the hyperpolarization is so pronounced that the left and the right are at such fundamental odds that they may as well be two different countries to the point where people are advocating for national divorce.
01:11:28.000 And then what do you see?
01:11:29.000 Give it over a long enough period of time.
01:11:32.000 Math is just math.
01:11:33.000 People who don't have kids tend not to exist in several generations.
01:11:38.000 People who have kids tend to pass on their ideas.
01:11:41.000 Then you gotta get those kids out of our state-run colleges.
01:11:44.000 Because I think we can raise all the conservative kids we want, but if we send them to public schools where they will later be indoctrinated further into those ideologies, I don't know if it matters.
01:11:53.000 I think you have to start at the elementary, you know, at the school level, and then all the way up to colleges you have to reform And not allow those kids to be constantly flooded with the same type of propaganda that we're seeing now.
01:12:07.000 But I think we're moving in that direction.
01:12:09.000 I think the left, everybody likes to talk about, I shouldn't say everybody, but there are prominent individuals talking about universities and the leftist ideology and how it's spread and all that.
01:12:20.000 But it was never that strong until 2011, 2012.
01:12:25.000 I think it's when social media algorithms, it was 2008.
01:12:27.000 It was never that strong in the US.
01:12:29.000 Well, no, around the world.
01:12:31.000 Social media algorithms made every country on the planet basically see this massive spike in these conversations.
01:12:36.000 However, I think that was bad for them.
01:12:40.000 I think if they had maintained the quiet edge and slow-rolled this ideology over a long period of time, they'd have won.
01:12:46.000 Instead, the algorithms slapped everybody in the face with the most insane versions of these ideologies that now people are pushing back on at universities, are starting to get heat because of it, and people are hyper-polarizing.
01:12:59.000 I agree with that.
01:13:00.000 I think for a while the left was starting to win with their indoctrination, but the pendulum is starting to shift back over to the right because what's happening is the left continues to get more radical.
01:13:08.000 They're going further and further right while the right is just sitting in the same place.
01:13:14.000 Sorry, yeah, the left is getting further and further left and the right is just sitting there just trying to be sane.
01:13:19.000 And I always tell people, if you want to help influence people to do more research or to maybe reconsider their mentality, you don't even have to go deep into like policies and politics.
01:13:28.000 Just talk about the culture.
01:13:30.000 Like, have you seen the things with these naked education shows where There's all these shows where they're getting naked in front of children.
01:13:36.000 There is no sane person in existence that's going to look at that and not think that it's foul.
01:13:41.000 So when you present that and you're like, well, guess which side supports this?
01:13:45.000 And it's all for this.
01:13:46.000 They start to question their own mindset.
01:13:48.000 I want that stuff to be spread around as much as possible.
01:13:51.000 I want as many parents to see that kind of stuff as possible.
01:13:54.000 I wanna pull up this tweet here.
01:13:55.000 We got this from Scott Galloway.
01:13:57.000 He said, Are you referring to yourself, sir?
01:13:59.000 Of one-fourth Republicans think all drag shows should be banned.
01:14:03.000 Living in another century, question mark?
01:14:05.000 Are you referring to yourself, sir?
01:14:07.000 I don't know what sent or another dimension.
01:14:09.000 I am not surprised that there are a quarter of Republicans saying no drag shows.
01:14:13.000 That surprises me in no way.
01:14:15.000 We're referring to the 90s or something?
01:14:17.000 Other century?
01:14:18.000 But let me show you how crazy this poll is.
01:14:21.000 So here's what it says.
01:14:21.000 Who should be allowed to attend drag shows?
01:14:24.000 The purple says they should be allowed for everyone.
01:14:27.000 The blue is restricted to people 18 and older.
01:14:30.000 And there's not sure, and then for orange, they should be banned.
01:14:34.000 Among all U.S.
01:14:35.000 adult citizens, 25% say children should be allowed to attend, 50% say 18 and up only, 12% are not sure, and 14% say ban it all.
01:14:47.000 Now among Democrats, around 40% of Democrats think children should be allowed to attend sex shows.
01:14:56.000 That's what it is.
01:14:57.000 Drag is basically LGBT burlesque.
01:14:59.000 You wouldn't put a kid, you wouldn't bring a kid to a go-go dancer club, you wouldn't bring your kid to a burlesque show.
01:15:04.000 That's what they're saying.
01:15:05.000 However, 40% of Democrats, cause it's 39, whose age should have kids, 40% of Democrats say 18 and up only.
01:15:12.000 This is the popular position.
01:15:15.000 In fact, 8% of Democrats want it banned for everyone.
01:15:19.000 Okay, let me stress that again.
01:15:20.000 8% of Democrats are like, no drag shows allowed for anyone.
01:15:24.000 Who are those Democrats?
01:15:25.000 I gotta ask you.
01:15:25.000 I was gonna say, like, where are they?
01:15:27.000 That's like a magical unicorn of a person, I guess.
01:15:29.000 What, like old blue dog Democrats that still believe in gun rights?
01:15:32.000 And then you have, among independents, it reflects basically what you see among all U.S.
01:15:37.000 adults.
01:15:38.000 26% say kids should be allowed to attend sex shows, 52% think it should be 18 and up, and 9% say that it should be banned outright.
01:15:46.000 And among Republicans, this one is also the unicorn.
01:15:49.000 This has got to be the margin of error.
01:15:51.000 8% of Republicans think children should be allowed to attend sex shows.
01:15:55.000 58% of Republicans say 18 and up only.
01:15:57.000 25% of Republicans say banned outright.
01:16:02.000 Look at that divide.
01:16:04.000 Four, nearly four, four in ten Democrats think children should be allowed to attend sex shows.
01:16:10.000 If that persists, I just kind of think Democrats probably won't be a political party for a lot longer because they're at odds with the general public to a great degree.
01:16:19.000 And independent voters, I think regular people, you show them what's going on in these videos, they, first of all, they don't believe it.
01:16:26.000 I was talking to people about that video of the guy pulling the baloney out of his crotch with a zipper and the gay men thrusting into each other.
01:16:32.000 I was talking to a friend and I was like, yeah, but look, we're not talking about, like, just someone in a costume reading a book.
01:16:38.000 We're talking about children having a dude in a thong perform, like, a striptease dance.
01:16:43.000 Or, uh, like on Bill Maher, when it was, um, Winsome Sears from Virginia, Lieutenant Governor, saying, like, look, it's about what parents want their kids to be involved, like, be or not be involved in.
01:16:54.000 She's like, I don't want my kid getting a lap dance from a drag queen.
01:16:57.000 And then Bill Maher goes, well, okay, they're reading books.
01:16:59.000 I don't think they're giving lap dances.
01:17:01.000 She goes, yes, they are.
01:17:02.000 It's like, well, I must have missed this.
01:17:03.000 And she goes, Bill, you need to read more.
01:17:07.000 And then everyone laughs because Bill Maher doesn't read the news.
01:17:10.000 You show that to the average person, like you were saying about sanity, and they're going to be like, well, I didn't know I was supporting that.
01:17:17.000 Yeah, in North Carolina, a drag queen gave a lap dance to a child.
01:17:21.000 And we got, you know, Ian bought the book Genderqueer.
01:17:24.000 Not even conservatives are reading that book.
01:17:26.000 And they really should.
01:17:27.000 Conservatives are like, I've seen enough.
01:17:27.000 That's funny.
01:17:28.000 I know it's bad.
01:17:29.000 Oh, you don't even know the half of it.
01:17:31.000 You should read it.
01:17:32.000 So I think regular people are probably going to see this and just, if we can show them, they're going to be like, yeah, I'm out.
01:17:37.000 And the hard part is then getting them out of their algorithm because their algorithm is only going to show them what they want to be seeing.
01:17:44.000 So they're not going to be seeing any of that content on their social media platforms or anywhere.
01:17:49.000 A lot of the people, when I would explain that these things were going on, would be like, that sounds ridiculous.
01:17:53.000 I don't know if that's actually happening.
01:17:54.000 Nobody believes.
01:17:55.000 No, they don't believe it.
01:17:55.000 When you tell people what the cutting edge of leftist thought is, people are like, no.
01:18:01.000 Every single time I tell any average kind of like Democrat person, oh, this is what's coming out of sociology departments right now.
01:18:07.000 This is the cutting edge of leftist thought.
01:18:09.000 They're like, no way.
01:18:09.000 No one will believe it.
01:18:11.000 We really want to get Bill Maher on this show.
01:18:13.000 And there's been conversations recently about me going on Bill Maher's show.
01:18:18.000 Bill Maher's gonna be in D.C.
01:18:19.000 in five days.
01:18:20.000 He's doing, uh, he's doing a stand-up.
01:18:23.000 He's doing stand-up at the MGM National Harbor.
01:18:25.000 And that's on a Saturday.
01:18:26.000 And I'm just thinking, you know, a Friday night, it's the perfect opportunity to promote your show, Bill.
01:18:32.000 Should have you on the show.
01:18:33.000 No, I'm a big fan of Bill Maher speaking out against the stuff he's learning about.
01:18:37.000 I just wish, with his platform, he knew more.
01:18:39.000 And I think it would be one of the most epic conversations to be sitting here with him.
01:18:43.000 Because we have this big, these big monitors.
01:18:45.000 And when he's like, I don't know about them giving lap dances, I'm like, oh, Bill.
01:18:48.000 Well, let me let me pull the video up for you and press play and then we'll just play it right here And I'll watch it and he'll be like, okay, you're right You know, I always ask the people who are in support of children being able to go to drag shows and like oh, it's educational What are they learning?
01:19:02.000 Are they learning life skills to get naked and twerk in front of other children?
01:19:06.000 Like what is beneficial for a child to go there?
01:19:08.000 It's literally a show that it's about explicit over-the-top sexual actions.
01:19:13.000 It's it's like it's sexualized comedy It's a clown show, I guess.
01:19:13.000 It's burlesque.
01:19:19.000 The fact that it's always sexualized, like there's no drag show that isn't sexualized.
01:19:26.000 So people that make the argument, oh, kids really should be able to get into this.
01:19:31.000 I don't understand how they justify it, just because of the fact that it is clearly sexualized.
01:19:38.000 They justify it by saying it's teaching them about inclusion.
01:19:42.000 That it's teaching them that people with alternative lifestyles exist and they're not bad people.
01:19:46.000 Therefore, you can send your kids to these shows and nothing's going to happen to them.
01:19:51.000 It's fine.
01:19:52.000 It's about inclusion.
01:19:53.000 That's unacceptable because it's unacceptable to send your kids to Chippendales or to the strip club with the boobies.
01:19:59.000 To them, they don't think past the first stage of the argument.
01:20:03.000 It is about inclusion!
01:20:04.000 How much do you want to bet Bill Maher's never seen the video of the child strippers?
01:20:09.000 It's not going to lick itself?
01:20:10.000 Sign on the wall?
01:20:11.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, when that little boy was ripping his clothing off on stage
01:20:14.000 and at a gay bar while they handed money to him.
01:20:16.000 I bet he's never seen it.
01:20:18.000 And that one's from like 2018.
01:20:20.000 Like this stuff's been going on for a long time.
01:20:22.000 And the problem is specifically people like Bill Maher don't read the news.
01:20:28.000 They're like, all of this stuff is happening around the country.
01:20:32.000 And obviously corporate press covers up.
01:20:36.000 I was reading about the Budweiser story in the Washington Post, and they lied about everything.
01:20:41.000 Surprise, surprise.
01:20:42.000 They said, the boycott's not clear if there's been any impact at all, and it's like, Anheuser-Busch put out a commercial and issued a statement.
01:20:50.000 Clearly, something's got them worried.
01:20:52.000 And their stock has gone down.
01:20:54.000 And they're like, well, it's not clear.
01:20:55.000 It's like, okay, that's...
01:20:56.000 That's an argument, but on a news report, you can argue, since the controversy started, Anheuser-Busch stock has dropped by five points or whatever.
01:21:04.000 But they don't mention that.
01:21:06.000 And then they said the whole controversy started over a single can of beer, a promo can with Dylan Mulvaney on it, and I was like...
01:21:14.000 Yeah, and the video of Dylan Mulvaney drinking Bud Light being a brand ambassador and dancing, and the estimates that Dylan received 50k or whatever for doing it.
01:21:22.000 I don't know if that's true or whatever, but people are upset that Budweiser in any way supported this person.
01:21:27.000 It's not about a single can of beer.
01:21:28.000 But they need to lie, diminish and downplay, so they can keep these people trapped in a box.
01:21:33.000 And unfortunately, people like Bill Maher doesn't read the news.
01:21:37.000 The Nike videos were worse.
01:21:38.000 Those were actually like, looks like he's making fun of women.
01:21:41.000 They all.
01:21:42.000 He always is.
01:21:44.000 The Nike ones to me were even more ridiculous.
01:21:47.000 And I always really want to stress this too.
01:21:49.000 Dylan Mulvaney is not trans.
01:21:52.000 Like, you can't just say, like, what if Donald Trump came out right now and was like, my fellow Americans, I am now a woman.
01:21:59.000 I am the first female president.
01:22:01.000 Donna.
01:22:02.000 Donna Trump.
01:22:04.000 And they would say, no, he's not.
01:22:06.000 He's lying, right?
01:22:07.000 Yep.
01:22:08.000 Look, Simply put, they would say, Donald Trump is lying, he's not trans.
01:22:08.000 So why?
01:22:12.000 There's no way anyone would believe that if Trump came out as trans, anyone would support him.
01:22:17.000 And even if he actually was, like, legit, was like, no, I've been hiding this all my life, and he really believed it, they would still say, no, you're not.
01:22:25.000 They would deny forever, no matter what.
01:22:28.000 So why should I assume, or just give that benefit of the doubt to someone like Dylan Mulvaney, who, I'm gonna say it again, hiking heels?
01:22:37.000 Putting on high heels in the forest is not something that women or trans people do.
01:22:41.000 It was a clown show comedy performance intended to mock.
01:22:46.000 It was literally making fun of women.
01:22:48.000 It was an adult male dressing like a woman, claiming to be a girl, putting on high heels and running through the woods and then getting scared of a bug.
01:22:56.000 That is like the most offensive woman-face performance you could do.
01:23:02.000 You took the words out of my mouth.
01:23:03.000 I was just about to say this is essentially blackface for womanhood.
01:23:07.000 And I've seen this clip before where Dylan was saying how this initially started as either comedy or satire.
01:23:12.000 I can't remember the exact word to use, but he has known from the beginning that this was not a serious thing, but he's turned it into a serious thing because it's become so profitable.
01:23:21.000 And the algorithm on TikTok is so aggressive with it because I don't follow Dylan.
01:23:25.000 I've never liked a single video of Dylan's.
01:23:27.000 I've never saved or commented on a video of Dylan's.
01:23:29.000 But I will get notifications on my phone from TikTok saying that Dylan Mulvaney just posted a new video.
01:23:35.000 And because, and I have screenshots of it too, and because of that, there's going to be an entire generation of people growing up that are going to have mental health crisis all because of Dylan Mulvaney's risistardom.
01:23:46.000 This is Elsagate 2.0, that's why I describe it as such.
01:23:50.000 The algorithm just picks things, props them up, and they get weirder and crazier.
01:23:56.000 So it's not just that it sees what you like and then makes more of it.
01:24:01.000 It's that it doesn't know what the difference is between what you like and something with similar words in it.
01:24:07.000 So on YouTube, something interesting happened where if somebody made a video about immigration, YouTube's algorithm does not know if you're for or against immigration.
01:24:16.000 All it knows is the title said the word immigration in it.
01:24:19.000 So who does it send it to?
01:24:20.000 People who are for immigration or against immigration?
01:24:23.000 It doesn't know.
01:24:25.000 So with someone like Dylan Mulvaney what happens is there are some things that people will click thumbs up on.
01:24:30.000 It doesn't know the difference between Dylan Mulvaney who's pretending and mocking and insulting trans people and say like an actual trans person making a real argument.
01:24:38.000 Thus, Dylan Mulvaney's outrageous shenanigans and the one big important component is the incrementation.
01:24:44.000 Day one, day two, day three.
01:24:47.000 That creates this effect in people where they need resolution so they always come back to see the next number.
01:24:54.000 It was perfect algorithmic manipulation.
01:24:57.000 And I think Dylan Mulvaney knew exactly what he was doing.
01:24:59.000 And I will stress it again.
01:25:03.000 I've talked to some, I'm not gonna name the individuals, but we've had the conversation with some of our guests on the show who are trans who said there's clear signs to them that Dylan Mulvaney is not trans based on the procedures and the things that Dylan has done.
01:25:16.000 That trans people don't do, or that trans people would have done, and certain things Dilma Rovani does that trans people would not do.
01:25:24.000 There have been references to, I'll give you an example actually.
01:25:27.000 When Dilma Rovani made the video and talked about how bulges exist and women have bulges, what was told to me, and maybe this is just the opinion of a couple trans women, is that A video like that would cause them severe anxiety by triggering gender dysphoria.
01:25:42.000 The idea of making a video and pointing to your junk and saying, look at my junk, like Dylan Mulvaney did, is the inverse of what someone with a body dysmorphic disorder would do.
01:25:53.000 Think about a person who's anorexic.
01:25:54.000 Do you think an anorexic person would make a video where they're like, look at my rolls, it's okay that I have rolls, I'm so fat, I'm so fat, everybody look how fat I am, look at this, and pinch themselves?
01:26:03.000 No, they do the opposite.
01:26:04.000 They're terrified of looking fat to the point where they starve themselves to death.
01:26:08.000 So if Dylan Mulvaney actually fit the descriptor as most people, like as somebody with dysmorphia, they wouldn't be making videos where they sing about having penis, a bulge in their pants.
01:26:19.000 It is totally fake.
01:26:21.000 There you go.
01:26:22.000 I never thought about it that way, but it makes sense.
01:26:25.000 Because gender dysphoria is a mental illness.
01:26:28.000 I can't emphasize that enough.
01:26:30.000 So for Dylan to be so glorifying in it, it's problematic.
01:26:34.000 But it also just adds to the culture of mental illness overall.
01:26:37.000 Because I've noticed that anxiety and depression have become such a trend, and even ADHD.
01:26:41.000 There's people who have never been diagnosed with any of those in their lives.
01:26:44.000 So those are three very real conditions.
01:26:47.000 But now it's like to fit in, you have to have some kind of mental illness.
01:26:51.000 I've even had people brag about like, Oh yeah, I'm so bipolar.
01:26:54.000 Haha.
01:26:54.000 I'm like, is that funny?
01:26:55.000 Yeah.
01:26:56.000 Or like DID people who said that they have like numerous personalities inside themselves.
01:27:00.000 And they're, they're talking about operating as a system basically.
01:27:02.000 Oh, this part of my system is whatever and whatever.
01:27:04.000 It is literally a trend.
01:27:05.000 It's literally like a TikTok thing.
01:27:06.000 And people post about all the time.
01:27:08.000 Same thing with Tourette's.
01:27:09.000 Tourette's is becoming a trend.
01:27:11.000 Part of it is also like in a culture now where everyone's looking for something that makes them special or unique.
01:27:16.000 That's something that they feel like gives them some type of unique identifier.
01:27:21.000 And it's just been turned into a weird thing through social media.
01:27:24.000 You know, it used to be that if you wanted to be famous or known about, you had to do something notable.
01:27:29.000 So what you'd get is, you know, people would turn on the radio or the TV and they'd see actors.
01:27:34.000 And then people were like, oh, I want to be an actor.
01:27:36.000 I've gone through so much of this too.
01:27:36.000 I want to be an actor.
01:27:38.000 I've had people hit me up and be like, you know, back when I worked at Vice and I was traveling around, I had so many people be like, oh, I really want to do what you do.
01:27:45.000 Oh boy.
01:27:46.000 And then once they actually see what it involves, like, oh, I don't do that.
01:27:49.000 Like, that's not what I was talking about.
01:27:50.000 I want to be on camera and famous.
01:27:51.000 And I'm like, Okay, well, I'm on camera because I like traveling and talking to people and learning about what's going on in these places.
01:27:59.000 I'm not on camera because I want to be on camera.
01:28:01.000 That's, like, paradoxical.
01:28:03.000 It's like you get on camera for doing a thing, not just being on camera.
01:28:07.000 And so then, sure enough, people immediately abandon the line of work they never wanted in the first place.
01:28:11.000 People are just trying to do whatever they can to get attention.
01:28:15.000 I find it... I think that it...
01:28:17.000 It's surprising to me that there are so many people that get behind Dylan for Dylan being a trans person.
01:28:25.000 I really feel like there should be more people that would just be like, that is not a trans person.
01:28:31.000 That is a person just looking to be famous.
01:28:33.000 It's just hopping on the bandwagon.
01:28:35.000 The way I described it is like, we're coming to the point where there's different kinds of transgender.
01:28:40.000 There is gender dysphoric, people who look in the mirror and feel a disconnect between their body and their biological sex, and that triggers depression and things like that.
01:28:52.000 And that is the traditional view of gender dysphoria or transgenderism.
01:28:56.000 But then you have what's called AGP and AAP, autogynephilia and autoandrophilia.
01:29:03.000 These are individuals like the person who wrote Gender Queer Friends, we have the book right there.
01:29:08.000 It's a biological female who is aroused at the thought of being male and so wants other people to call them male because it stimulates them.
01:29:17.000 Which is more kink and fetish stuff.
01:29:19.000 But then you have the third chapter, which is Dylan Mulvaney, who is not trans in any sense.
01:29:26.000 I think it was Michael Malice who said that he thinks it's a fetish act, like AGP, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, it's different.
01:29:32.000 I think Leah Thomas, the NCAA swimmer, there was an article talking about how... She was talking in the... Leah Thomas has a bunch of posts talking about what they call AGP, which is like, it's a kink, it's a fetish, it's not gender dysphoria.
01:29:47.000 But Dylan Mulvaney isn't doing that.
01:29:49.000 Dylan Mulvaney isn't dysphoric, as I referenced with the video about singing about having a bulge.
01:29:54.000 A person who is dysphoric doesn't want that.
01:29:57.000 So Dylan Mulvaney being proud and saying it's okay and look at my junk is like, are you just making fun of trans people?
01:30:04.000 You're clearly not dysphoric.
01:30:06.000 So Dylan Mulvaney's version of trans is, it makes me famous.
01:30:10.000 And they're promoting that to kids.
01:30:12.000 That's, I'll wrap up, that's why I think the Budweiser boycott is so important because they didn't come out in support of the LGBT community, they came out and like, Yo, I describe it as, imagine if Budweiser came out and sponsored an old school minstrel show of like a bunch of dudes in blackface being as racist as possible and I'm like, that's basically what I see with Dylan Mulvaney.
01:30:34.000 Insulting and mocking trans people and women at the same time to an extreme degree and then Whoopi Goldberg and The View and all these other institutions coming out and defending it.
01:30:42.000 That's the same thing that I said to a friend of mine.
01:30:45.000 I'd made a remark about the Anheuser-Busch comment, and I said, you know, this means keep applying pressure.
01:30:51.000 And he objected to it, and I was just like, look, Dylan is not a trans person that is helping trans people in any way.
01:30:59.000 The only thing he's doing is harming people.
01:31:01.000 He's not making anyone feel in any way sympathetic towards trans people, whether they're gender dysphoric, Or not.
01:31:11.000 And I don't think that we should entertain AGP at all.
01:31:15.000 Like, I don't want to play along with your kink.
01:31:18.000 Right.
01:31:18.000 Sorry.
01:31:18.000 But look at all the Pride Parade events where they have, like, men with dog masks on.
01:31:21.000 Yeah, the whole month should just be called kink and it should be... But that's what it is.
01:31:25.000 When we had, I think, Destiny, Omni Liberal, when we were talking about Ron DeSantis and the books that were being disallowed, they say, it's a book ban.
01:31:34.000 Yeah, they're banning porn.
01:31:35.000 And he was like, well, this looks like sex education.
01:31:37.000 And I'm like, dude, that's a butt plug.
01:31:39.000 And he's like, yeah.
01:31:39.000 And I'm like, that's not sex education.
01:31:42.000 That's kink education.
01:31:43.000 That is the most ridiculous cope that I've ever heard come out of Destiny ever.
01:31:43.000 Yeah.
01:31:47.000 Like the idea that it's acceptable to teach people under 18 how butt plugs work.
01:31:54.000 Give me a friggin break.
01:31:56.000 Children in schools under the guise of sex ed?
01:31:59.000 I mean, that is something...
01:32:02.000 I'll violate TOS if I keep going on, like, seriously.
01:32:05.000 Oh, really?
01:32:05.000 You know, we'll save it for the members only show which is coming up in you know half an hour
01:32:09.000 But could you imagine how funny it would be? I wouldn't I will say this agreement
01:32:11.000 I will be in no way surprised at all if like in one year's time
01:32:18.000 Dylan Mulvaney uploads a video of him wearing a suit and tie with a deeper voice saying hey everybody
01:32:24.000 I just want to let you know the whole thing was a bit to prove how insane all of you are
01:32:30.000 I'm a conservative Christian, have been the whole time.
01:32:32.000 And then have them just be like, huh?
01:32:34.000 The idea that you could increasingly increment the insanity, the insults, the degradation, and you would keep supporting it proves the point.
01:32:43.000 It's hilarious.
01:32:44.000 You don't see With Dylan Mulvaney, a calm, rational person saying, we just want to live.
01:32:51.000 Like, that's the argument I like to make.
01:32:52.000 No, Dylan Mulvaney, like, does the most shockingly offensive things possible, the most insulting ways possible.
01:32:59.000 Yeah.
01:33:00.000 Well, that's the state of things, I suppose.
01:33:01.000 How about that?
01:33:02.000 Let's go to Super Chats!
01:33:03.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that Like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com, click that Join Us button, become a member, because at 10.10 p.m.

01:33:37.000 And of course, once that wraps, it's available in the archive forever for you to go back and watch later.
01:33:43.000 Alright, let's jump to those Super Chats!
01:33:46.000 Freedom Jeffrey 1776 says, Hi Tim, thank you for a great show in Austin.
01:33:50.000 Hopefully many more to come, and thank you for letting me plug my YouTube channel.
01:33:54.000 Absolutely.
01:33:55.000 And we are going to have a show, I think the next one's going to be in Florida.
01:33:59.000 But that won't be for a while.
01:34:00.000 So we're half a year away from that event, but I'm really excited for that one.
01:34:05.000 It should be even bigger.
01:34:08.000 All right.
01:34:08.000 Blackshadow164 says, Hey Tim, big fan of the show.
01:34:11.000 Matt Walsh should debate Jordan Klepper live.
01:34:15.000 Expose the Daily Show.
01:34:17.000 Also, a brewing company should sponsor Andrew Tate.
01:34:21.000 Sure, I guess.
01:34:22.000 That's up to him and a brewing company.
01:34:25.000 I don't think Klepper would ever agree to do a debate with Matt Walsh.
01:34:28.000 The same reason every one of these leftists or faux leftist default liberals won't do it is because they're woefully unprepared and incapable of defending indefensible ideas.
01:34:39.000 That's why I think Bill Maher is forced to come around because you can't... So here's the way I describe Bill Maher.
01:34:44.000 I think he knew for a while that he was playing dirty games and just siding with liberals.
01:34:50.000 But, you know, he was able to get away with it.
01:34:52.000 But there came a certain point where it's like you cannot fool all of the people all the time.
01:34:57.000 So he had to be like, okay, well that one's true.
01:34:59.000 And then once you say that, it's like, okay, well that one's true.
01:35:02.000 Okay, well that one was true.
01:35:03.000 Okay, well Trump never did that.
01:35:04.000 Okay, I agree with you on that.
01:35:05.000 Now he's at the point where he's like, I don't think they're giving lap dances.
01:35:08.000 And Winsome Sears is like, you gotta read more.
01:35:09.000 And he's like, okay.
01:35:10.000 Now he's getting to the point where he's like, you can't deny it.
01:35:14.000 You can't pretend like it's not happening.
01:35:17.000 I don't really see, personally, a pipeline going back towards the left.
01:35:22.000 You see it occasionally, like one or two odd YouTubers, but you only see the pipeline going towards the red pill, being awakened in the matrix.
01:35:29.000 You don't see it the other way.
01:35:30.000 Well, it's like you were saying, Xavier, that you tried to debunk Candace Owens, and you ended up debunking yourself.
01:35:36.000 Yeah, it was a fight for my life trying to debunk those videos.
01:35:40.000 And what I love about the PragerU videos especially is because they had all their sources there, so I was going to go as deep as debunking their sources.
01:35:47.000 And it was a wild process, to be honest.
01:35:50.000 Well, it's actually really simple.
01:35:52.000 In what I call the freedom faction, you don't actually have to agree on the opinion.
01:35:57.000 Just the fact.
01:35:58.000 So if Candace Owens comes out and says, Michael Brown never had his hands up.
01:36:02.000 Eric Holder is the one who actually released the report saying he did not have his hands up.
01:36:06.000 And then if you're on the left, you're saying, that's not true.
01:36:09.000 Let me debunk that.
01:36:10.000 And you pull it up and go, oh, that actually is true.
01:36:13.000 Candace Owens' opinion could be that Darren Wilson was a good person or a bad person, but it doesn't matter.
01:36:19.000 The argument is over whether the fact she stated exists.
01:36:21.000 Hey, if it turns out, if Candace Owen said something like, you know, she thinks that you should drink out of glass bottles because plastic bottles are bad for you, you can be like, okay, well the fact is that plastic bottles do leach phthalates and all this stuff, but my opinion is that I don't think the effect is that pronounced, and you're probably fine.
01:36:40.000 Now, in reality, I'm actually in favor of glass bottles, that's why we have them.
01:36:43.000 But my point is, Candace Owens is not going to politically argue with you over a minor... Like, I guess my point is this.
01:36:50.000 I sat down with Glenn Beck, and we discussed abortion, pro-life versus pro-choice.
01:36:55.000 And we smiled, we talked it out, we agreed on the basic facts, and then we disagreed on the philosophy of government's role in how to deal with these things, and then smiled and shook hands.
01:37:04.000 There's no anger.
01:37:05.000 There's no animosity.
01:37:06.000 There's no resentment.
01:37:07.000 It was just like, thank you for helping me understand your opinion on moral philosophy.
01:37:11.000 I don't see it that way.
01:37:12.000 I disagree with you.
01:37:13.000 And I'm like, wow, I now understand your moral philosophy.
01:37:16.000 Opinion is opinion, but we agree on the facts.
01:37:19.000 That's the thing about where we are.
01:37:21.000 We can all disagree on our opinions on how things should be implemented, but as long as we agree on what is, we're fine.
01:37:28.000 The left doesn't understand what is.
01:37:29.000 They believe fake things all the time.
01:37:32.000 How can someone have an opinion if they don't know what actually happened?
01:37:36.000 They can't.
01:37:36.000 I mean, that's why they use terms like his truth her truth They're trying to make the truth objective because the only
01:37:41.000 way for them to justify their senses or sorry Subjective or subjective is if they are able to just move
01:37:48.000 what the facts are every single time They have a debate about something. Yeah
01:37:53.000 They believe that the truth is downstream from power, so they believe that if they say things, they can create a world the way they want just by speaking into reality.
01:38:03.000 Right.
01:38:04.000 Gabby Hayes says, What up, Brett?
01:38:06.000 Tim, your convo with Peter last week was nuts and gave me chills.
01:38:09.000 Love TimCast and Pop Culture Crisis.
01:38:11.000 Thanks for everything you guys do.
01:38:12.000 Which portion of it?
01:38:13.000 Was it the algorithmic manipulation one or the war one?
01:38:16.000 Because the war one I get super triggered.
01:38:18.000 Basically, if anyone ever comes to me, and they're like, I support war, and I'll be like, okay, why?
01:38:22.000 And they're like, no reason at all, just because the government told me to.
01:38:25.000 I'm just like, that's it.
01:38:27.000 I'm officially angry.
01:38:28.000 I do not believe you have a right to advocate for the bombing of civilians, women, children, or for that matter, even our adversaries, unless you can justify why it is.
01:38:40.000 In the same vein, that if a dude shoots another dude, you have to justify the self-defense.
01:38:46.000 You can't just be like, I don't know.
01:38:49.000 I agree with your right to bear arms, I agree with your right to self-defense, but you can't just walk up to a guy and attack him.
01:38:54.000 So if the United States wants to use the weight of government to go to war, and that's basically what we talked about in the members-only portion, he was like, here's what happened.
01:39:01.000 You guys should watch it, actually, if you want to see me get triggered and talk about Ukraine.
01:39:05.000 Basically what happened was, Peter Boghossian, smart guy, he's a cool guy, is of the view that wokeness derives from the universities.
01:39:13.000 And I said a portion of it in terms of some of its, you know, faux ideology, but wokeness itself is a result of the algorithm manipulating people, and wokeness is better described as cult-like adherence to liberal social orthodoxy.
01:39:29.000 And then I said, the best example of this is people putting Ukraine flags in their bios.
01:39:33.000 There is a one for one, for the most part, overlap between woke people and support for
01:39:37.000 the war in Ukraine. And then he said, I don't understand why you're lumping those things
01:39:41.000 together. And I was like, because there's literally no reason to support war in Ukraine.
01:39:47.000 There's like a few neocon neolib arguments about Russian expansionism, whatever. But whenever I
01:39:53.000 ask any of these people, why should I care about Estonia?
01:39:56.000 They can't give me an answer.
01:39:57.000 There's like, well, but Europe, I'm like, bro, that's not an answer. It is Estonia delivering
01:40:01.000 us grain to the delivers fertilizers. Is it going to deeply impact our economic situation?
01:40:06.000 Give me an answer. They don't have one.
01:40:08.000 And so my point is, if you've got someone claiming critical race theory, critical gender theory, pro-war in Ukraine and Trump sucks, there's clearly no link between these things in university.
01:40:17.000 It's all algorithms.
01:40:20.000 And then from that, he said he disagreed.
01:40:22.000 He supports the war in Ukraine.
01:40:24.000 And then I said, okay, I think this is Ukraine derangement syndrome.
01:40:26.000 We had this like two hour long debate over war.
01:40:29.000 It was good.
01:40:31.000 I thought it was good.
01:40:33.000 Yeah, you know, it is what it is.
01:40:35.000 All right, you guys should watch it so I don't just rehash the whole thing and then we'll read some more.
01:40:38.000 Hillbilly Clinton says, if it wasn't for the algorithms, I would have never found your show a few years ago when I did.
01:40:44.000 So at least they did something right.
01:40:45.000 Love you all.
01:40:46.000 God bless.
01:40:47.000 Yes, I agree with that.
01:40:49.000 But here's the thing.
01:40:49.000 We are like booted from the algorithm now.
01:40:52.000 So, what basically happens, actually, let me give you a really good example.
01:40:58.000 If you've noticed, this channel has, I think, like 1.46 million subscribers.
01:41:03.000 Despite the fact that we get, like, a million plus views per day, and we are consistently the most viewed live show, I think we have, on average, the highest live audience every single night, Monday through Friday, on YouTube.
01:41:16.000 In the night slot.
01:41:18.000 In the night slot, right.
01:41:19.000 There's other shows that get way more views and if like Red Bull doesn't get like millions of live viewers, but we consistently average way higher than most people.
01:41:27.000 How is it that we don't have the same level of subscriber growth than a bunch of these other channels on the left that get no views?
01:41:36.000 I wonder.
01:41:36.000 I wonder.
01:41:37.000 You know what I mean?
01:41:38.000 And it's obvious, people complain all the time that even though they're subscribers and they watch every day, YouTube won't send them a notification for the show and they have to go and try and find it.
01:41:46.000 Many people have pointed out that even when we are live, they can't find the link.
01:41:50.000 So you know what we had to do to counter this?
01:41:52.000 TimCast.com now plays the embedded live show on TimCast.com, so whenever people are like, yo, it's not even popping up on your YouTube channel, it's like, go to TimCast.com, it's there.
01:42:03.000 And then they're able to watch it despite the fact that YouTube's doing something.
01:42:07.000 They're doing something.
01:42:09.000 So yeah.
01:42:10.000 That's the game they play.
01:42:11.000 All right.
01:42:12.000 Sideways says, just found Xavier's channel and content like a week ago.
01:42:15.000 Big fan.
01:42:16.000 And I'm really glad you were able to see things from both sides.
01:42:19.000 What kinds of content would you recommend to show what you discovered?
01:42:23.000 Well, definitely PragerU.com.
01:42:24.000 Those five minute videos are incredible.
01:42:26.000 And even the archives of like the Candace Owens show that I would watch on there, Fireside Chat, Unapologetic with Amala, she is amazing.
01:42:33.000 All of those will give you really just quality context and they'll also give you the sources so that you can do your own research because we don't want you to just watch our videos and have that be the end all be all.
01:42:44.000 But if you go through those five minute videos, it's...
01:42:47.000 Much more productive than going to a university half the time now.
01:42:51.000 The Stories of Us videos are good too, with people telling their stories about how they noticed culture was changing.
01:42:58.000 Yeah, my Stories of Us video just came out last week.
01:43:01.000 So please go watch that on PragerU.com.
01:43:03.000 And if you have kids, go to PragerUKids.com.
01:43:05.000 They have kids content where it's all about American values, history, and none of the woke propaganda that you're seeing on channels like Disney now.
01:43:14.000 So I highly recommend going to PragerUKids.com if you're a parent.
01:43:18.000 Alright, Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:43:20.000 said, Don Jr.
01:43:21.000 was just on the show talking about not backing down.
01:43:24.000 Now, because of donations, he wants folks to back down.
01:43:27.000 Why does the right lose?
01:43:28.000 Because people like Don Jr.
01:43:30.000 take, uh, people like John Jr.
01:43:31.000 take a walk, Don Jr.
01:43:32.000 I like Don Jr., and I gotta be honest, I listened, uh, to a bit of his argument, and I, I, I was actually almost convinced, because I was thinking, like, The media's reporting that Budweiser apologized, even though they didn't.
01:43:48.000 And I'm like, is that a PR victory?
01:43:50.000 I mean, it might be enough for the narrative when the media's saying Budweiser apologizes.
01:43:55.000 They didn't.
01:43:57.000 But you could call it that because they said, we didn't mean to be divisive, which shows regret for sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney, in which case it's like, Do you take the win right now, even though it's not the win you're hoping for, but you can claim it as a victory, or do you push it harder and maybe risk double or nothing and lose it all?
01:44:18.000 In the end, however, I think...
01:44:21.000 The end result should be, if they really do sponsor Republicans, or donate to Republicans more, then we actually have more leverage.
01:44:29.000 Don Jr.' 's argument should be the inverse.
01:44:31.000 He should be saying, double down on your boycott.
01:44:34.000 Because it turns out, Budweiser's desperate for Republican support.
01:44:38.000 This means we can EASILY win this one.
01:44:40.000 So here's my point.
01:44:42.000 If Budweiser really is scared, and it's the easiest thing in the world in terms of the culture war battle to win because all you gotta do is buy a different beer, and tack on to the fact that Budweiser actually depends on Republicans for their support legislatively, that just means that it's twice as easy to win.
01:44:59.000 Now, what should happen is Don Jr.
01:45:02.000 should have come out and said, oh, hey, Bud, you know you're sponsoring a bunch of Republicans?
01:45:06.000 Here's what I'm gonna do.
01:45:07.000 I'm gonna go to all those Republicans and tell them to kick your money back.
01:45:10.000 Unless you apologize.
01:45:11.000 Then Budweiser would be like, okay, you win.
01:45:13.000 Because they don't give money for nothing.
01:45:16.000 They're giving money to Republicans because they expect something to happen for them.
01:45:19.000 If these Republicans said, no, no, no, no, no, Budweiser, Anheuser-Busch, you get nothing from us anymore.
01:45:24.000 No penny is going to earn you any favors, because I will lose my re-election if I support you.
01:45:29.000 All right, ladies and gentlemen, here's one thing you can do.
01:45:35.000 First, if you really want to win this one, it's simple.
01:45:38.000 Don't buy Anheuser-Busch products until they formally apologize.
01:45:44.000 Two, if you're more keen to be productive and active, find out if your local representative—senator, congressman, mayor, whoever—is a Republican that receives any kind of funding from Anheuser-Busch or from a political action committee or super PAC that receives money from Anheuser-Busch, and then demand that politicians reject that funding.
01:46:06.000 Or denounce it at the very least.
01:46:07.000 If a PAC is receiving funding from Anheuser-Busch and they think it's for a Republican, demand of those Republicans, they denounce those PACs.
01:46:15.000 That will send chills down the spine of the CEO of Anheuser-Busch, and they'll apologize in two seconds.
01:46:21.000 Because that means they're gonna lose, like, make it politically toxic for any politician to associate in any way with Anheuser-Busch.
01:46:29.000 That's what Don Jr.
01:46:30.000 should have said.
01:46:31.000 Oh, they need our help?
01:46:33.000 They're paying for it?
01:46:35.000 I'm sorry, man.
01:46:36.000 I like Don Jr., but how spineless was it to be like, guys, guys!
01:46:40.000 But they give us money!
01:46:41.000 I don't care!
01:46:42.000 That means they need something from you.
01:46:44.000 Look, if I had a customer...
01:46:47.000 Come into my bakery and say, I pay my bills.
01:46:50.000 You better do as I say.
01:46:51.000 I'd be like, you know what?
01:46:52.000 I just found out I don't need your money.
01:46:53.000 Get out.
01:46:54.000 You're banned for life.
01:46:55.000 Don't come in here and spit in my face.
01:46:57.000 You know what I mean?
01:46:57.000 Like a contract between two parties is a mutual exchange.
01:47:01.000 Your money helps my business, but my business provides a service for you in exchange.
01:47:05.000 Imagine calling a plumber over to your house and then just insulting him the whole time.
01:47:09.000 And then he's like, well, I'm going to leave.
01:47:10.000 No, you can't leave.
01:47:11.000 No, no, no, no, no.
01:47:13.000 You can't do that.
01:47:13.000 You can't do that.
01:47:14.000 I'm sorry, man.
01:47:15.000 Put the pressure on.
01:47:16.000 Anyway, let's read some more.
01:47:19.000 Alright, what do we got here?
01:47:21.000 Korek says, Boycott has bush between a rock and a hard place.
01:47:25.000 We're right at summertime cookouts, fishing parties, etc.
01:47:28.000 They need to feel the hurt and we're close.
01:47:30.000 No joke.
01:47:32.000 It was so beautiful out today.
01:47:33.000 It was a crisp 60 degrees, the trees are all green, the pollen was everywhere, and I was sneezing up a storm.
01:47:39.000 But we're already talking about when we're gonna have this barbecue.
01:47:42.000 Maybe Friday.
01:47:43.000 Have a barbecue.
01:47:45.000 You call it a barbecue, but a grill, a grill.
01:47:47.000 You know, get a bunch of burgers, we got the picnic table outside.
01:47:49.000 Cookout.
01:47:50.000 Yeah, cookout.
01:47:51.000 We're gonna have to get some beers.
01:47:53.000 Am I invited to the cookout?
01:47:54.000 Absolutely!
01:47:57.000 But you gotta bring the beer, and you're not bringing an anhyzer.
01:48:01.000 I wouldn't in the first place.
01:48:03.000 I have self-respect.
01:48:04.000 So we'll do a big cookout.
01:48:05.000 You know what we should do?
01:48:06.000 You know what we should do?
01:48:08.000 We should do a really big cookout, like an event, we should find a local park, plan it for like a week or two, and then maybe it would have to be this weekend, like on a Saturday, see if we can just be like, we're doing a big meetup, we're gonna grill, everybody's invited, bring the beer, and not Anheuser.
01:48:26.000 We'll set a $50,000 budget for this, for our beer, and we'll build a mountain of Coors Light.
01:48:31.000 And I'll stress this too.
01:48:33.000 People have pointed out that Coors has done Pride commercial stuff.
01:48:36.000 I don't care about that.
01:48:37.000 Literally don't care if an alcohol beverage is advertising to adults who are LGBTQ.
01:48:42.000 That's great.
01:48:44.000 They're people, they drink beer, that's fine.
01:48:45.000 It's Dylan Mulvaney.
01:48:46.000 Dylan Mulvaney is insulting and advertising stuff to children.
01:48:51.000 I'm not, nah, get out of here.
01:48:52.000 Not interested, not interested.
01:48:53.000 Yeah, it's not the same thing.
01:48:54.000 People often conflate it.
01:48:56.000 It's just not the same.
01:48:58.000 All right, let's see what we got.
01:49:00.000 Sir Neoff Strife says, Hey Tim, have you been watching Picard season 3?
01:49:03.000 They got a new director so far.
01:49:05.000 It's been a love letter to the next generation fans.
01:49:08.000 Since you talk about the next generation a lot, I think you'll like it.
01:49:11.000 I highly recommend watching episode 9 because it comments on modern culture war they just pointed out.
01:49:15.000 I think I have been watching it, but I don't think I've seen episode 9.
01:49:19.000 I skipped season 2 though.
01:49:21.000 Yeah, season two was the one where they go back in time to stop Trump.
01:49:24.000 Is that what it was?
01:49:25.000 I have a rule that you get one episode to hook me.
01:49:28.000 If you can't hook me in one season, you don't get a season two.
01:49:31.000 Well, the first one I thought was fun because it was just like, hey, remember this?
01:49:36.000 And I'm like, I was a good old days, you know?
01:49:36.000 Remember that?
01:49:38.000 Then season two is like something happened in the past that turned earth into an earth supremacist country.
01:49:44.000 We have to go back in time and stop Donald Trump from winning the presidency.
01:49:49.000 That's just like, okay dude, I'm not gonna watch that, and I didn't.
01:49:54.000 So, you know, whatever.
01:49:56.000 But Season 3 is fine.
01:49:59.000 Although I vaguely remember it at this point.
01:50:02.000 I don't know, what is it, like they're... They commandeered some ship, they tricked some guy, and then they're chasing after Picard's son or something.
01:50:09.000 None of the, none of the new stuff.
01:50:11.000 I am finally starting Stargate though.
01:50:13.000 Stargate SG-1 is amazing.
01:50:15.000 I'm finally, I'm finally forcing myself to, because I had seen season one and I'm now starting to make my way through it a little bit at a time.
01:50:23.000 It's cool because they take like sci-fi conspiracy and turn it into a show, you know?
01:50:27.000 So a lot of these weird, kooky, I hate calling them conspiracy theories because believing that aliens planted the seeds of life on Earth isn't a conspiracy.
01:50:36.000 Like the aliens didn't come together and say, no one gives no.
01:50:38.000 It's not criminal in any way.
01:50:39.000 It's just like a weird hypothesis, I guess.
01:50:43.000 Outlandish theories?
01:50:44.000 Yeah.
01:50:45.000 I'm not sure.
01:50:45.000 But is it even outlandish or is just like, like highly improbable?
01:50:50.000 Obscure improbable theories?
01:50:50.000 Obscure.
01:50:52.000 There you go.
01:50:53.000 I guess you could, like, absurd would be, like, flat earth or something.
01:50:57.000 Absurd would be flat earth, yeah.
01:50:59.000 Yeah.
01:51:00.000 I like donut earth theory.
01:51:01.000 The earth is both flat and hollow.
01:51:03.000 Hollow.
01:51:05.000 Flat and hollow.
01:51:05.000 It's a donut.
01:51:05.000 You know, donut earth.
01:51:07.000 There's actually pictures online of donut earth.
01:51:11.000 It's clearly not a donut because you'd see the gap of the donut when you, like, went to certain places.
01:51:16.000 You'd be, like, looking forward and you'd see a floating column in the sky, you know?
01:51:20.000 Does somebody, like, fall through the hole in the donut if they just walk off the edge?
01:51:24.000 What would the gravity be like if Earth was a donut?
01:51:26.000 Could you, like, float in the middle?
01:51:28.000 Would there be air?
01:51:30.000 Over to the other side.
01:51:31.000 I suppose, like, there would be a spot in the center where you could be suspended.
01:51:36.000 It's both flat and hollow.
01:51:39.000 Aaron Preston says, Phil, two weeks and this calling are absolute banger songs.
01:51:43.000 Your transition from scream to clean is amazing.
01:51:45.000 Cheers.
01:51:46.000 I appreciate that.
01:51:46.000 Thank you very much.
01:51:48.000 And we're just listening to it, uh, before the show because I took all that remains in the weekend and I merged the voices into one voice and it was like just a different voice.
01:51:56.000 I don't know.
01:51:56.000 It didn't work.
01:51:57.000 We should do a little more though.
01:51:59.000 Yeah.
01:51:59.000 We used 11 labs to take clips of the weekend and all the remains and put them together.
01:52:02.000 And it was just, it sounded like a weird guy.
01:52:04.000 I don't know.
01:52:06.000 There was a little bit of them in there.
01:52:07.000 Yeah.
01:52:08.000 And there was also a weird distortion in the background, I think from the music playing.
01:52:11.000 Maybe, yeah.
01:52:13.000 Let's see what we got.
01:52:15.000 Super503Dank says, have this guest back for the Culture War podcast, it'd be a good one.
01:52:19.000 Uh, I agree.
01:52:20.000 Yeah, we should, uh, have you back for the Friday morning show.
01:52:23.000 And we can talk about, like, all the BLM stuff more one-on-one.
01:52:27.000 Yeah.
01:52:27.000 Sounds good to me.
01:52:28.000 This one's more of, like, the news subjects of the day and stuff.
01:52:31.000 Alright, KCB says, just paid 120 bucks for 24 ultra-right beers, so be it.
01:52:36.000 I think I'm gonna order some.
01:52:37.000 Yeah.
01:52:38.000 Yeah, I think I should.
01:52:39.000 You know, because we normally go to local breweries and we stock up on beer for guests with just, you know, but everybody's been very good about not drinking alcohol and not drinking beer.
01:52:50.000 And so we just never got more.
01:52:51.000 But, you know, some guests like a nice a nice beer.
01:52:54.000 We'll get the ultra right.
01:52:56.000 There's a lot of people on the right that have moved away from drinking alcohol and stuff like that.
01:53:00.000 I think a lot of people in general have.
01:53:02.000 Whoopi Goldberg said she quit drinking.
01:53:04.000 People just don't drink.
01:53:06.000 It seems like it comes up for me at least once an episode that I have to end up mentioning that being in recovery just means no drinking.
01:53:13.000 So Bud Light doesn't really affect me at all!
01:53:16.000 But I did have an apple cider this weekend.
01:53:19.000 Because I'm not, you know, like I'll drink periodically and it was fun.
01:53:22.000 Hanging out with the boys playing poker and having an apple cider.
01:53:25.000 It was good fun.
01:53:26.000 Got a cooler a couple times, but won some money.
01:53:29.000 I had a good time.
01:53:31.000 All right, Daniel says, I'm a black progressive metal rock musician, but I've always been considered an outsider for some reason.
01:53:37.000 I don't know what it takes to break the mold of the stereotypes.
01:53:39.000 By the way, Tim, are you bringing in musicians to help with the movement and culture?
01:53:43.000 Yes.
01:53:44.000 Um, we got a couple songs in the works.
01:53:47.000 We're talking about doing a cover, maybe?
01:53:48.000 Yeah, we're gonna do it.
01:53:49.000 Uh, Phil's helping out with one of the songs that we, like, half wrote.
01:53:51.000 I think we're doing Pain on Wednesday.
01:53:53.000 Oh yeah, cool.
01:53:55.000 Yeah, it's a riff that I really like.
01:53:57.000 It's like a story that I really like for a song, but it's not one that I felt like I could do.
01:53:59.000 Phil's gonna do it.
01:54:01.000 Your choruses are good.
01:54:02.000 I'll just do some verse stuff, some shouty stuff.
01:54:05.000 It'll come out cool.
01:54:06.000 Yeah, we'll see.
01:54:07.000 And then Carter's got a preliminary version of like an electric dance song that we're putting together.
01:54:13.000 So we started with a few songs.
01:54:15.000 We did three songs of mine, and we're trying to advance into other areas and bring in more people.
01:54:20.000 You know who I would absolutely I don't know.
01:54:23.000 absolutely love to get to work with on guitar.
01:54:26.000 And I don't even know if it's possible, but I'm just gonna say it.
01:54:29.000 What's his, is it Josh Farrow?
01:54:31.000 The former Paramore guitarist?
01:54:34.000 Yeah, I think that's his name.
01:54:34.000 I don't know.
01:54:36.000 Yeah.
01:54:37.000 He's got, he wrote good guitar.
01:54:39.000 And I'm like, I'm just gonna say it cause maybe there's a possibility.
01:54:42.000 I'm assuming he's a Trump supporter.
01:54:44.000 He's watching, yeah.
01:54:45.000 Yeah, who knows?
01:54:46.000 Who knows?
01:54:47.000 But he had some of the best, like, some really amazing guitar stuff.
01:54:50.000 Let's do cool things, man.
01:54:53.000 Let's read some more Super Chats.
01:54:57.000 Reed Weber says, Florida passed a bill that would allow for the death penalty for sexual assaults on kids 12 and under.
01:55:02.000 I know you oppose the death penalty, but I'm cheering.
01:55:05.000 My issue is not with... Okay, so here's the thing you gotta understand.
01:55:11.000 Uh, someone who abuses children, you're like, they should get the death penalty.
01:55:15.000 I'm like, okay, I hear you.
01:55:16.000 I totally understand.
01:55:17.000 My issue is not whether or not you think the crime justifies death.
01:55:20.000 It's whether or not the state can actually prove the crime.
01:55:24.000 And the idea of someone like Kamala Harris being in charge of murdering people freaks me out.
01:55:29.000 That's simply put.
01:55:30.000 I say it like this all the time.
01:55:32.000 I don't endorse the state killing people, but that doesn't mean that there aren't people that haven't earned death.
01:55:39.000 Like, there are plenty of people that deserve to die.
01:55:41.000 People who kill other people.
01:55:43.000 People who torture, rape, murder, war criminals.
01:55:47.000 Like, there's a reason why the death penalty is a thing.
01:55:49.000 That through due process, it is determined that you have forfeit your right to life because of the egregious crimes against the world.
01:55:56.000 The problem is, Like, if I'm dealing with, like, a war, or if I see a guy, like, literally about to kill a child, like, you gotta stop that person.
01:56:07.000 You don't want them to die, but you're gonna do what you have to do to save that child's life, or the victim, or whatever.
01:56:12.000 The problem is, when you take a guy, I walk into a courtroom, and I sit down, and Kamala Harris goes, see this guy over here?
01:56:19.000 Well, he beat a kid so he should die.
01:56:21.000 And I'm like, lady, I don't believe you.
01:56:22.000 I don't believe you.
01:56:24.000 Like, sorry.
01:56:26.000 Don't get me wrong.
01:56:27.000 There are people who point out there's like, sometimes it's extremely definitive.
01:56:31.000 And I'm like, that's the thing, right?
01:56:34.000 It's like, there's 10 witnesses, here's a clean two-hour livestream of the guy doing it, he then runs at the camera, says his name, his date of birth, and his social security number, and it's like, okay, well that I get, but that's like, not how it really works.
01:56:48.000 So the issue is, it is better that 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer, and if the system is in place as such that innocent people can be put to death, I just can't support it.
01:56:57.000 End of story.
01:56:59.000 All right, all right, we're gonna read some more Super Chats.
01:57:03.000 That one gamer says, I heard you guys talk about religion a lot recently.
01:57:07.000 I'd like to recommend Michael Jones of Inspiring Philosophy.
01:57:10.000 He's openly said he's willing to come on the show.
01:57:13.000 Could be a great show.
01:57:14.000 I think that would be great for the Culture War podcast.
01:57:16.000 Maybe what we should do is we should get him on with Ian.
01:57:20.000 And Seamus.
01:57:21.000 And Seamus.
01:57:21.000 Seamus is back this weekend, by the way.
01:57:23.000 Yeah, I don't know how long he's going to be around for, but we've, we successfully tricked him.
01:57:23.000 Is he?
01:57:27.000 We told him that we got him an all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas for vacation, but really we're going to have the airline reroute him back here.
01:57:35.000 And then when he lands, he won't know, and we're going to shuffle him into a car and then drive him here.
01:57:38.000 And then he won't realize until it's too late.
01:57:40.000 It'll work.
01:57:40.000 Smart.
01:57:41.000 And then he'll just, you know, wake up in here and he'll be like, where am I?
01:57:44.000 What's going on?
01:57:44.000 And we'll be like, be funny.
01:57:50.000 You know.
01:57:52.000 Thousand foot deep and says people who wonder if the glass is half empty or half full missed the point.
01:57:56.000 The glass is refillable.
01:57:58.000 Unknown.
01:57:58.000 Oh, I like that one.
01:58:00.000 That's nice.
01:58:00.000 That's good.
01:58:01.000 The glass is refillable.
01:58:02.000 Unless like you're in the desert, you know, then you're, then you're in trouble.
01:58:06.000 Then all you've got is water left because of climate change.
01:58:09.000 And it's just, yes, the glass can't be filled at all or it's too full.
01:58:13.000 The pessimism will just always win through for that type of person.
01:58:16.000 If you're pessimistic, it's never going to change for a lot of them.
01:58:19.000 Peter A. says, Scott Galloway was on Modern Wisdom, and in his interview he both states he's on the far left, his words, and his goal in life is to be effing rich, also his words, they will come for him too.
01:58:30.000 What a paradoxical statement.
01:58:31.000 I don't think these people know exactly what they're talking about.
01:58:33.000 Who is that they said?
01:58:34.000 Scott Galloway, the guy who tweeted about drag shows for kids.
01:58:38.000 Okay, right.
01:58:39.000 Yeah, and he said conservatives are living in a different century.
01:58:41.000 It's like the 22nd century, they're in the future, because in the future this stuff's not going to be allowed.
01:58:47.000 These people keep saying stuff like, you're on the wrong side of history, and I'm like, I'm kind of not convinced that's true, dude.
01:58:52.000 Because the polls suggest you are.
01:58:54.000 You know?
01:58:57.000 I watched a video that Red Yard made, the What If Alt History guy, about the future and how he's pointing out that people that are triggered by, how strong disgust is as a trigger, and people that are making this faction, the left is making a faction of people that are all like the deplorables, essentially, literally the basket of deplorables, and then saying, you know, love us, be our friends, we're the ways to go, but it just doesn't, history, if you know history, it doesn't turn out like that, it never does.

02:00:15.000 When I went to MGM National Harbor, I was playing a old 1-3 Texas Hold'em.
02:00:21.000 A lot of people there knew who I was and were fans, and it was really cool to play a couple games with some fans.
02:00:25.000 And I'm fairly confident that this social club is going to be a huge success.
