Anheuser-Busch is under fire for their sponsorship of transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, and there's a growing number of calls for them to apologize. Plus, a new report emerges about Bud Light s VP s night out with a frat party.
00:00:33.000so far anheuser-busch has lost around five billion dollars in market cap
00:00:49.000because of the controversy with their sponsorship of transgender influencer
00:00:54.000Dylan Mulvaney And there's a lot of conversation still emerging around it.
00:00:58.000I think Joe Rogan had a conversation on one of his episodes where he's like, ah, it's no big deal or something like that, and like, ah, it's over.
00:01:04.000Howard Stern talked about it, said, I just don't understand why people are so upset.
00:01:08.000And I find it fascinating that there is this massive backlash which has persisted into this week over the holiday weekend, and Anheuser-Busch's stock has still been in decline.
00:01:18.000And there are people coming out being like, no, everything's fine, everything's okay.
00:01:21.000And I can only respond to that by over-target.
00:01:26.000If Anheuser-Busch is forced to issue an apology, it will be a major shift in the culture war.
00:01:33.000Because that will be the point when a major multinational brand is forced to say, the conservatives, the libertarians, the freedom faction, they were all right about this.
00:01:43.000That means they are more scared of you saying, I won't buy your product, than of the far-left extremists in their campaign.
00:01:50.000And there's some new information emerging about the VP, which proves, in my opinion, this is all an ideological push.
00:01:57.000A viral video came out where the VP, their new VP of marketing, whatever, said that it's a dying brand and we've got to inject some life into it.
00:02:04.000The brand itself, Bud Light, was the highest selling beer of last year, and more importantly, Photos have leaked of this VP having herself a frat party.
00:02:36.000So we're going to talk about all of that stuff, especially with what's been happening with regional distributors.
00:02:41.000And then there actually is probably bigger news, but it's political.
00:02:46.000And we've talked about it quite a bit.
00:02:47.000There's a whistleblower who's come out and said that he can put him in front of a grand jury and he will say under oath that Joe Biden committed crimes promoting Burisma, helping his son in his private business dealings in Ukraine.
00:02:59.000And I think that's particularly important.
00:03:01.000However, we're not in a political electoral cycle.
00:03:04.000I think the Anheuser-Busch battle may be one of the most important culture war battles we're seeing right now.
00:03:08.000And then, of course, NPR, and I think PBS just announced this too, they're quitting Twitter because Elon Musk correctly labeled them state-affiliated and government-funded.

00:04:19.000Joining us tonight to talk about all of this and more is Jesse Kelly.
00:04:33.000I am, for one, I'm the menu whisperer.
00:04:35.000I'm the greatest orderer of food in the world if you look at a restaurant menu.
00:04:40.000I just am a genius when it comes to ordering those, but I also have a show, a nationally syndicated radio show called the Jesse Kelly Show.
00:04:47.000I have a TV show called I'm Right, and now I'm a world-famous author.
00:04:51.000I wrote my first book ever that doesn't come out till June, but I'm sure it'll be world-famous called the Anti-Communist Manifesto.
00:05:30.000Look, Ian, God gives us all talent, right?
00:05:33.000You know, Mozart could play instruments or whatever he did.
00:05:36.000When I look at a menu, I know the best thing to order.
00:05:39.000And people think I'm joking when I say that, but when we go out to dinner, which I'm sure we will at some point in time, You won't order what I order, because you don't trust me right now, but I will order something superior to yours, and you will look at my food, and as always happens, you will say, I should have got what you got, because you don't trust me, but you will eventually.
00:08:13.000But I heard that Joe Rogan cracked open a beer and they're like, ah, it's no big deal.
00:08:16.000And it's like, you know what I wonder about this?
00:08:19.000I wonder if, you know, when Joe was on YouTube, more on YouTube, he could more see the direct impact of his comments and what people thought about them. And when
00:08:29.000you're on Spotify and you're releasing, you know, after the fact, I think the last time I went on
00:08:34.000his show, it was like five days later, they released it. And I think it was before, I went on
00:08:39.000before the Rittenhouse verdict, and then he aired it after the Rittenhouse verdict. So that
00:08:44.000like, really changed a lot of the context. But I think what happens then is, if you're
00:08:48.000not really paying attention, you don't see what people are talking about, you're like, I
00:08:51.000don't know, I saw some people talking about this Kid Rock did a thing, but I guess no one
00:08:55.000And now it's several days later, you put up an episode, and once again, Anheuser-Busch stock is going down, people still care about this, and the conversation is persistent.
00:09:42.000The other thing I realized is, you are going to start to see commentators capitalize on that, and they're going to make as much content about it as possible, because people care, which is, for me, let's be honest, a business opportunity, but that's ancillary.
00:09:56.000More importantly, it's a culture war opportunity.
00:09:59.000If this is the hill people are willing to die on, let's roll, baby.
00:10:03.000And now we have news coming out, leaks, photos about the VP, and about her frat parties, information is being brought up about Bud Light sales, It's fair to say this is more than just Bud Light, this
00:10:16.000thing that happened last week and no one cares anymore.
00:10:19.000Because Bud Light has ignored their base, their market, and they've basically doubled
00:10:25.000down on this, they've pissed people off, and they've created a viral opportunity for online
00:10:30.000commentators, be it for or against it.
00:10:33.000The fact that Joe Rogan talked about it, whatever it is he said, all that did was throw more
00:10:38.000fuel into the fire, and it's going to get more people asking, what is going on with
00:11:04.000And before this scandal broke out, their stock was spiking up like 10%, and now it's flipped and started going down, where comparable beverage brands are not seeing that same thing.
00:11:14.000I actually have a couple different things to say about it.
00:11:27.000One, because the Right can never maintain a culture war fight at all.
00:11:32.000I know they had a bad weekend, but I watched the NFL have bad ratings for precisely about, oh, 15 minutes, when Black Lives Matter was taking a steaming dump all over the flag, and every person on the right, they couldn't wait to run to social media, and they're, I'm done forever, and I'm done, and NFL's racist, and I hate this place, and I hate America, and like I said, about 15 minutes later, they were all bragging, oh, did you see that throw from Drew Brees?
00:12:03.000Two, Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch is going to be fine because the truth is, as many organizations have found out, from financial institutions to sports like the NBA to others, you do not need to appeal to a customer base anymore.
00:12:54.000The point is, they've lost five billion dollars, their stock is going down, and so long as people have two things, the willpower, which I admit is lacking among people who are anti-establishment to a great degree, but there's something more important here, You see, outside of the willpower, there's monetary incentive.
00:13:14.000So it may be that many people on the right don't have the willpower and within 15 minutes would be cheering for, you know, whoever's thrown the latest touchdown pass.
00:13:21.000The issue for Budweiser right now, they're not going to be able to overcome, is that
00:13:25.000online personalities are getting a major flood of viewership from talking about this.
00:13:32.000It's not going to go away, so long as I can put out a video and get half a million views
00:13:51.000We're not asking people to go out and register 100,000 voters.
00:13:54.000We're not asking everybody right now to be Scott Pressler.
00:13:57.000We do wish everybody would be Scott Pressler, but if we can't get that, the least we can get is, oh yeah, next time you go to the store, um, buy Guinness.
00:14:06.000Buy, buy, buy, buy, uh, P, uh, I don't even know what, PBR Old Style or something.
00:14:11.000Let me tell you why I disagree with that.
00:14:12.000You're not wrong, but I disagree with it.
00:14:14.000Yes, we can hurt them, and we should, and I hope we maintain this.
00:14:18.000But really, what drives so many of these corporations now is the major financial institutions, including the financial institutions of the United States government, all of which now are governed by all this ESG, LGBTQ, all this insane crap.
00:14:33.000So yeah, let's say Anheuser-Busch, let's say the right finally steps up and sticks with something, and please, Lord, let them stick with something for the first time ever.
00:14:41.000And let's say they stop buying, and these southern distributors really cancel these orders, and people stop buying, and they stick with them, they don't forget about this, which they're gonna, but let's just say for the sake of argument, they do not.
00:14:51.000You know what Anheuser-Busch will still have?
00:14:54.000Access to endless capital from Wall Street and Washington, D.C., because they have paid homage to the religion of the nation.
00:15:03.000Oh, yes, it sure does. It means everything. Why do you think the NBA has taken the entire generation,
00:15:10.000the entire generation, and they've alienated an entire generation of American young people?
00:15:15.000Because they made a bet. They made a bet that conservatives, classical liberals will do
00:15:21.000nothing about it. That you're right about. But this is where we're starting to see something
00:15:25.000actually bigger happen, where people for the like, we look, we've seen the Nike boycotts,
00:15:31.000right? And the funny thing is, when Colin Kaepernick took a knee or whatever, and the
00:15:36.000Nike sponsors him, all of these videos emerge of people burning their gear and their socks
00:15:40.000and all that. Within three years, every single athlete took a knee. And if you didn't, you were
00:15:46.000the odd person out. That was a defeat. Something different happens.
00:15:51.000After a week and over a holiday weekend when people are supposed to forget about it, Anheuser-Busch thought they could keep their mouths shut and this would go away and we're looking at now a week of their stock dropping.
00:16:04.000I'll take it and I won't shut up about it because if we can keep the pressure on and keep talking about it, eventually get to the point where it doesn't matter if they have endless capital.
00:16:14.000If the regional stores and the rural stores say, we're not going to carry your product, it's become popular and it's hurting our brand to carry it because people are getting offended, are angry that we're not involved in this, you're going to see distributors kicking it back.
00:16:29.000You're going to see people like John Rich saying he won't carry the product anymore.
00:16:44.000If they're not gonna buy it, I'm not gonna order it because I'm losing money.
00:16:48.000John Rich came out after Kid Rockin', after Travis Tritt, and was just like, hey look, nobody's buying it.
00:16:54.000And if that's what's really happening, and we're seeing videos of people in grocery stores showing the Bud Light is all still there and the Budweiser is all still there and other brands are gone.
00:17:02.000And now we saw, I think even we saw Dan Crenshaw come out and post a video about it earlier this week.
00:17:07.000More and more people are getting on the meme and the trend of not drinking Bud Light.
00:17:16.000Imagine if you invested in Anheuser-Busch and you look after the past week and you lost four percent.
00:17:23.000Imagine if you were a billionaire and what four percent could actually mean.
00:17:27.000At this point, I'm sure there are people calling up Bud Light and being like, look, I'm not going to scream and throw a fit over four percent.
00:17:33.000This is probably going to be temporary, but you got to tell me what you're doing about this.
00:17:36.000And the pressure is starting to build.
00:18:06.000So let me slow down and provide context for everybody because we're entering a new segment.
00:18:09.000This VP came out amid the controversy and said Bud Light was a dying brand and we needed to make it inclusive and get rid of that frat bro image.
00:18:43.000She's an occult ideologue who is exploiting this position to take the top-selling beer in the world and turn it into a woke cult product to distribute a woke cult product.
00:18:56.000What they're really doing is they're not worried about a dying brand.
00:19:22.000A bunch of news outlets are going and the Daily Mail They're saying this, hey, we're making money covering this, let's keep doing it.
00:19:30.000And that's the problem of the internet age.
00:19:32.000When people latch onto a viral story and they won't let go, it won't stop.
00:19:37.000No matter what you do, it will get crazier, it will get worse, and I am hoping That the nightmare tornado of viral memeology, when someone comes to hate something, whips up into a frenzy to the point where this VP is fired, where the marketing teams at Anheuser-Busch are looking at a 10-point drop in their stock, when they're now fielding phone calls from their investors being like, why are we losing this much money?
00:20:03.000And they say, We're gonna have to apologize.
00:20:06.000And when that happens, what Anheuser-Busch will signal to the entire world is, we screwed up, we can't embrace this ideology, we have lost too much money, and even if they could get loans, it won't matter.
00:20:20.000If they can get endless ESG capital, it won't matter.
00:20:23.000Because they'll ship out products and the regional stores will say, I'm not going to carry that.
00:21:28.000And that's what everyone's talking about.
00:21:30.000And to go back to kind of Joe Rogan here and to try to steel man his argument, I think what he's trying to say is that he's maybe sick of cancel culture.
00:21:38.000He's maybe thinking that there might be more important stories there.
00:21:41.000And I think on the other side, cancel culture has been weaponized.
00:21:46.000And I think it's at a point right now where, sadly, in the culture war, it is being used more and more against individuals for doing less and less things.
00:21:55.000So to have a counterbalance to it, is, I think, what you're arguing for, Tim, here.
00:22:00.000And I'm curious what the audience thinks.
00:22:02.000Do you think that this is an issue that doesn't really matter to you, or do you think that this is an issue that we must take seriously in order to kind of hit back against this larger culture war?
00:22:39.000But Kid Rock's normal—I'm sorry, Howard Stern's normal approach to culture war issues is, the right are a bunch of Nazi chuds, screw them, etc., etc.
00:22:49.000When Kid Rock shot up all that Bud Light and said, F you, Howard Stern didn't get mad.
00:22:53.000All of a sudden he said, what's going on?
00:24:38.000The response to Bud Light's apology Is so much worse than anything the right will be able to do to Bud Light with sales when it comes to the next two months.
00:24:49.000It would be that they'd have actual violence because we all know these commies scum are violent.
00:24:54.000They would have drivers being assaulted.
00:25:23.000Until we make them by their stock dropping and their products not selling, and they realize their business can't persist by offending their own audience, their own market.
00:25:32.000That means it has to be sustained and persistent, and it is the easiest thing for anyone on the right to do, buy a different beer.
00:26:01.000And if anyone on the right so much as farts, they'll get arrested.
00:26:04.000A guy can go to a store in San Francisco with a garbage bag and fill up product, and they'll let him go.
00:26:10.000But if anyone dares try to stop him, they will get arrested.
00:26:13.000Budweiser knows that, which means, if it gets to the point where their sales are gone, because We are their customers, not so much me, but I mean, it is regular, like, it is not 22 year old college kids for the most part, although to a certain degree it is, but we're talking about people ages 25 to 80 years old, and I'm talking about the average point of death for the average male, who are buying beer products.
00:26:40.000If they decided that the ages of 21 to 24 are more valuable than the entirety of their market share, Then so be it.
00:26:48.000Let them take a look at an 80% sales drop-off.
00:27:22.000The point is we must persist in the easiest culture war battle that's ever been laid before us so that they are forced to apologize.
00:27:31.000I agree with that 100% and I will say this, I will say this, the trans rights movement I do believe that it is actually a gift from God for this country, because I have watched The Rite forever, for my entire life, kind of dismiss the newest thing, the newest culture war thing, or not take it that seriously, or they'll stop soon, or surely there's an end to this, or it doesn't apply to me.
00:27:59.000It's been so easy to play that game, the whole, oh, I'm not going to buy into any slippery slope stuff.
00:28:05.000I think This whole insane movement has finally woken the right up to that there is no end.
00:28:17.000It keeps going down and down and down and down and down.
00:28:19.000That if we're going to get to the place where we are telling children and we're going to be telling young boys, just chop your penis off and you'll become a woman.
00:28:26.000I think that is finally waking the right up to Okay, I'm not dealing with bad.
00:29:02.000I have said, I actually am, I don't mind, uh, abortion rights, and I think the left should have them, because they're ending their, their lineage, and so, the future will be conservative.
00:29:13.000No left has said, how dare you say something so offensive!
00:29:17.000Well, the reality is, they know it, and I think they're, in many ways, Like, they know that abortion and sterilizing their children will result in less liberals and the future being more conservative.
00:29:30.000That's why they have to go to the schools.
00:29:32.000They don't want to highlight the issue and say, Tim Pool said an awful thing because it puts in the mind of all the liberals that, hey, wait a minute.
00:29:54.000But liberals are substantially lower and have been over the past 20 years.
00:29:57.000You add to the fact that you are pro-abortion and more likely to have an abortion or sterilize yourself or your kids, it's going to go even lower.
00:30:04.000And given a long enough time, the math is simple.
00:30:07.000Your ideology and your family lineage and your genealogy will cease to exist.
00:30:21.000The fact that a major corporation for no reason, for no reason, the number one selling beer The fact that they decided to embrace wokeness has resulted in a four percentage point stock drop-off.
00:31:30.000Yeah, someone published a list of all the companies that they own and all the breweries that they have, and it's multiple tweets of things.
00:31:38.000I tweeted it on We Are Changed so people could see it.
00:32:26.000And so if we can simply say, hey, look, man, you know, Dylan can post whatever Dylan wants on TikTok, Budweiser can sponsor whoever they want, and then we won't touch their products.
00:33:06.000But now you know it exists, so do of your own volition.
00:33:09.000I will also say it is good that conservatives are creating alternatives by whatever means necessary to compete with these woke corporations, creating a market opportunity to say, hey, you're worried about what beer you might buy?
00:33:23.000Here's a beer that you don't gotta worry about.
00:33:24.000But more importantly, it's what Seth Weathers, who co-founded this, said, stay the F away from our kids.
00:33:30.000So when Howard Stern said, I don't understand why Kid Rock is so mad.
00:34:12.000The VP did say she wants a younger audience.
00:34:14.000She wants young people to drink or the brand would, quote, die.
00:34:17.000And that to me, in itself, that to me, well, whether it's a lie or not, it's...
00:34:22.000It's still coming from a mentality of, I want young kids to drink beer, which is absolutely horrible for them, horrible for their cognitive function.
00:34:28.000There's some studies even showing how people in their 20s have their brains still developing.
00:34:33.000So to have that skewed and manipulated and hurt in so many different ways by alcohol, that's something else that should be called out here.
00:34:38.000And instead of saying, hey, let's drink another beer.
00:34:58.000But I think the overwhelming majority of human beings on the planet love beer, and beer is actually responsible for human civilization as it is.
00:35:10.000But the issue was that humans were nomadic until we discovered the beer-making process, or a rudimentary form of it, and then we had to stop moving around so that the beer could ferment.
00:35:21.000We liked beer so much, we were like, let's just stick around here and grow more of this stuff to make more of that stuff.
00:35:27.000And so that's, I don't know if it's true, it's an urban legend or whatever they say that beer was the beginning of agriculture for us because we were like, yo, this stuff makes me feel good, and so we wanted to make more of it.
00:35:38.000I think there are a lot of people that understand drinking heavily is bad for you, but crackin' open a cold one with the boys after a long, hard day of work, you show up to the bar or whatever, and you grab an ice cold, an ice cold ultra right, and then you're just relaxing with everybody and you're, you know.
00:35:56.000You know, ribbing each other and you're having a good time.
00:35:58.000I can certainly understand why people enjoy that moment.
00:36:00.000And I think it's fairly obvious as to why this story became so big.
00:36:04.000It's because... Let me slow down and put it this way.
00:36:08.000Like five years ago I said, sooner or later the woke stuff will come to Major League Sports and people will start to understand what it really is.
00:36:33.000Now, it's happening in the other direction.
00:36:35.000It's happening to women's teams first, but I said this was going to happen.
00:36:40.000I thought that when it got to the point where someone like Colin Kaepernick would kneel, or the NFL would be forced to have half of their football team be women, that's when you'd see a major revolt because regular people love sports and all that.
00:36:52.000But while sports did play a big role with people being upset, it didn't go that far.
00:36:57.000I should have made the obvious prediction.
00:37:29.000That's something that should have been called out here by the mainline society, saying, hey, even Anheuser-Busch should have said, Who's the core audience here?
00:37:39.000Why are we trying to advertise to small children for an alcoholic beverage that will stunt their cognitive function and growth?
00:37:46.000That right there should be the conversation, the discussion, and is repugnant and disgusting in its face.
00:37:52.000This is what I was going to bring up earlier.
00:37:53.000I believe that it's illegal for beer commercials on TV to show people drinking the beer in the commercial.
00:37:59.000They're allowed to hold it and show it and have it, but if they actually drink it, it's become illegal.
00:38:53.000You then have a smaller portion, which are probably in their late 30s, 40s, or whatever.
00:38:59.000And then it averages out, and it pulls up the average age a little bit, making it sound like the average person is older, when in actuality, the majority of users are probably well under 21.
00:39:08.000I don't think you've... I think Don Mulvaney's audience is probably 14, 15.
00:39:12.000And TikTok is targeting these kids intentionally.
00:39:17.000You're a role model for a lot of younger individuals.
00:39:20.000And the same, let's be honest here, goes for Joe Rogan.
00:39:22.000If you take a can of beer and you open it, you're inspiring other people to do that as well.
00:39:28.000And some people may say, oh, you're making too much of a big deal of it.
00:39:31.000But little things like that, little impressions like that absolutely matter, especially with what you endorse, what you drink, and how many people look up to you as a role model, as you're going to have a lot of people copying you.
00:39:41.000And those are decisions that I think people should be thinking about seriously if they're, you know, influencers.
00:39:45.000But why can't we accept, and I know you probably do, but why can't we accept that that's why they do it?
00:40:18.000When we're talking about mastectomies for children, when they're giving young girls mastectomies, we actually looked up the stats, and it's in the thousands, I believe.
00:40:28.000Over the past few years, it's like a couple thousand.
00:40:31.000And the left will say something like, why do you care so much?
00:40:47.000I believe it was, let me make sure I can look this up and get it right.
00:40:50.000I think it was on Blue's Clues, there was a pride event showing characters with mastectomy scars.
00:40:56.000So, I'll give you a correction while you're doing that.
00:40:58.000It's not illegal to show people drinking beer on TV.
00:41:01.000It's highly frowned upon by the agencies, television agencies, since it's like a post-prohibition thing.
00:41:08.000I was told a long time ago that it was illegal, and that's why we don't see it, but apparently it's just a voluntary thing that they don't.
00:41:22.000Now, why are they showing your children pride parades with people with top scars?
00:41:26.000The issue is, I may not be... Like, when they come out and they say something like, oh, not that many kids are getting it, you're exaggerating, it's like, I never came out and said every kid was getting it.
00:41:38.000When Matt Walsh was on Joe Rogan, and Rogan asked Matt Walsh how many kids are doing this, Matt Walsh, what did he say, millions or something like that?
00:41:46.000He said some ridiculous number and then everyone called him out because it's thousands.
00:41:51.000In terms of cross-sex hormones, I think it's around 50,000.
00:41:54.000In terms of puberty blockers, it's like 17,000.
00:41:56.000And in terms of mastectomies for adolescent girls, it's in the thousands, like between 1 and 2,000.
00:42:04.000And I was like, well, I don't know, I can't speak for anybody else.
00:42:07.000But I never came out and said, oh, heavens me, so many, there's too many kids getting this.
00:42:40.000My point is, why are we encouraging children to do it?
00:42:45.000If you're going to come out and be like, it's only 50,000 on these hormones, then I'll be
00:42:49.000like, okay, if you don't think that's too many, what would be too many?
00:42:53.000If the left says, who cares, not that many kids are getting it, my response is, what is the number by which you would then say, I am allowed to be concerned that children are undergoing treatments that we've already seen in other countries fail?
00:43:31.000We have the biggest children's organization in the United States of America, Disney, sexually grooming children with this stuff over and over and over again.
00:43:41.000And I realize, and I applaud Florida for what they're doing going after tax-exempt status.
00:43:46.000We're a nation with many children in it.
00:43:49.000If you have a corporation in your nation that has dedicated part of its mission to attacking the children of your nation, that corporation should immediately be shut down.
00:44:06.000Okay, so that, well, by my math, that leaves us 30 states who are still doing it, and we'll slowly incrementally do this, and what's going to happen is we're eventually going to have a bunch of kind of red states where you can't do most of this stuff, but you can do a little, and then these blue Sodom and Gomorrah freaking hellholes where we're carving, where Dr. Frankenstein is just operating on these kids every other day, and where did that, where did we end up?
00:44:31.000I disagree because I don't think there's much beyond making it illegal.
00:44:33.000If we're headed towards a point where, and I've talked about this, we had the story of Jeff Younger, I believe his name was, he was on this show.
00:45:06.000Because then our foreign adversaries just take over and the US just, it'll be conflict nobody wants to experience.
00:45:13.000But if they are unwilling, if they, I'll put it this way, the right tends to be As a collective, whatever you would call the right in the culture war, I would say actually relatively of limited morals.
00:45:27.000Meaning, the Christian conservatives are particularly moralistic and have a set of morals, but then you have a lot of libertarians, you have a lot of traditional liberals, and the morals within this group are disparate.
00:45:44.000So you can have an individual like Jimmy Dore who disagrees on economic policy for opinion reasons based on what we don't know to be absolute, but he'll tell you, oh yeah, these things did happen, I agree with you, you're right, that news story did happen, I read that, that's true.
00:45:56.000And so the issue I see is, with everything the left is doing pertaining to the expansion of abortion to the point of birth, And the gender-affirming sanctuaries, the only end result of all of this, in my opinion, is going to be conflict.
00:46:21.000There were a lot of people in northern states, and despite the fact that northerners were extremely racist, and they overall did not care about slavery, there were large factions of abolitionists who only cared about slavery, and were willing to travel to other states and territories to outright murder people to end slavery.
00:46:40.000And there's interesting questions about, do we believe those people were morally justified?
00:46:55.000Despite the fact that he was a murderous terrorist.
00:46:58.000That's by the fact that he and his sons would walk up to slave owners and just murder them.
00:47:03.000And for me, I'm kind of like, I think that's a bad thing, and we don't want anything like that happening now.
00:47:08.000Because you have to understand what that means.
00:47:10.000It means either Antifa will determine that our systems, our institutions, are worthy of being burnt to the ground, which they do, and the violence will escalate, or then you get conservatives who act like John Brown, which only makes the conflict worse, and then you end up in mass war.
00:47:26.000The question of who wins, I'm not entirely sure.
00:47:28.000I will just say, I don't know, with watching all of this, at what point people come back together and this country heals, and I'm not convinced it's possible.
00:47:39.000Because you look at what happened in 2020 with the election war game, where apparently John Podesta Roel, playing this game, said that if Donald Trump were to have won in 2020, the West Coast states should secede from the Union.
00:47:55.000The secession and the breakup of the United States talk... James Lindsay was talking to Vivek Ramaswamy on Vivek's YouTube channel a few days ago, and they were saying it's like in war, in combat.
00:48:06.000If you want to destroy your enemy, you do not surround them.
00:48:08.000Because if you surround them, they'll fight to the death.
00:48:11.000If you want to destroy your enemy, you surround them on three sides and you give them one escape route.
00:48:15.000And then when they flee, when they see that route and they take it and they flee, that's when you jump on them and destroy them, when they're routing.
00:48:20.000That's happening a lot in Ukraine right now, too, by the way.
00:48:51.000Like we've been talking about things, Tim keeps bringing up about European nations far ahead of us who have stopped these horrible procedures for children.
00:49:02.000These European nations that I personally, and I know many of us have mocked, ah look at socialist idiot Europeans, were far ahead of us here.
00:49:10.000We here in the United States of America, especially on the right, we have a very nostalgic view of the country that we still think exists.
00:49:19.000Now there are still gigantic pockets of this country that do exist in that way, but the government in its current form, and I will include our education system, entertainment system, our sports system, This country is one of the most broken and corrupt countries in the entire planet.
00:49:36.000And there's not even a question about it.
00:49:38.000One of the most broken and corrupt countries in the entire planet.
00:49:41.000What United States are we talking about?
00:49:43.000Because it's not the United States of Grandpa and World War II are on the beaches of Normandy.
00:49:47.000And it's not the United States of America from the year 2000.
00:49:51.000It's the United States of America where our pride flags fly from embassies across.
00:49:55.000We sexually mutilate children in this nation over and over again.
00:49:59.000We have politician after politician after politician in this country that took part in all that COVID madness, dumping all over everybody, keeping their seats of power after they did so.
00:50:11.000While we have inflation raging and mom and pops can't buy eggs at the grocery store, the United States GOP and Senate The GOP and Democrats in the Senate came together and passed a 1.7 trillion dollar bill that was just a big handout to all of their friends.
00:50:27.000It didn't even pretend like it did anything for the people.
00:51:25.000But yeah, I believe the era—and this really sucks, because I love teeny tiny government—I believe the era of limited government is laughably past us.
00:51:32.000We'll never get back to that again, because the only people who crave limited government are people who've experienced real tyranny, like the founders have.
00:51:40.000But since we haven't really, really experienced the teeth of that yet, now it's just big government right and big government left.
00:51:46.000So it's either empire, or whether it's some official divorce or secession or whatever kind of crazy word you want to put on it, We are living in two Americas, and you better get to the part where they don't want to cut your son's penis off, and you better get there now, because the other part ain't backing off.
00:52:00.000They're not apologizing, they're not moderating, they're not backing away.
00:52:04.000In fact, they're taking our people and they're throwing them in prison.
00:52:07.000Which is why, don't buy Anheuser-Busch.
00:52:10.000Ron Paul last night, he said there was a coup in the United States in 1963 when the government killed Kennedy, and that was, it just shook me.
00:52:19.000I think he's right, and I don't know what to do about it.
00:52:23.000The Federal Bureau of Investigation just got busted infiltrating the Catholic Church.
00:52:27.000I brought up this point recently and I want people to really take in what this means.
00:52:32.000When the government, when the United States government, when they focus on one, when they mission focus on one enemy, they destroy that enemy.
00:52:40.000They've done it in the past with the Soviet Union.
00:53:02.000And people need to understand now that same mission focus across NSA, CIA, FBI, United States government, State Department.
00:53:10.000They are mission focused on the American right within our borders.
00:53:14.000We will have people say things like, They're destroying our military.
00:53:18.000No, they're purging the dissident right out of the military and the police because they're building one, and they're building one for a different purpose.
00:53:27.000I don't believe in this idea that we're just one election away from holding hands.
00:53:34.000I've been talking about this, it's been a couple years actually, there was a video where a guy is attacked by Antifa, and is fleeing, and the police show up, apologize to Antifa, and arrest him.
00:53:46.000And I saw the same thing in Dallas, Texas.
00:53:49.000Red state of Dallas, Texas, some child drag show, and of course Antifa shows up to beat up anyone who protests it, and the Dallas Police Department Not the Antifa guys in masks with weapons.
00:54:01.000They mobbed the one dude who was trying to walk down the sidewalk by himself, and he's yelling at him.
00:54:32.000I got to tell you, part of it feels really good.
00:54:33.000I imagine Luke is probably, you know, every so often smiling a little bit, that conservatives who supported all of the expansion of police powers and of DHS and things like that, the Patriot Act, are now the ones who are being targeted by it because it's probably a bit of schadenfreude.
00:54:49.000The only problem is we're all caught in the same maelstrom.
00:54:52.000Definitely not smiling, since, again, this is affecting everyone.
00:54:55.000And people have to understand, this is also going to affect the left as well.
00:55:03.000And when we look at historically what happens during these big political shifts, especially in China, especially during the Cultural Revolution, especially in the Soviet Union, you see a lot of the top members, you see a lot of the people who helped This new party get into power, be purged right away, sacrificed, murdered and genocided in so many different ways.
00:55:21.000And this is why this is such a dangerous turning point in America.
00:55:25.000And after 9-11, I was warning people, hey, you know, the Patriot Act, destroying the Constitution, spying on American citizens, torturing, renditioning people.
00:55:32.000Drone bombing and killing people that are American citizens maybe is not a good idea.
00:55:36.000And I think this is why the right doesn't have as much leverage, doesn't have as much respect, and why we have such a big cultural pushback.
00:55:45.000Because during the Bush years, they have essentially destroyed this country, destroyed the U.S.
00:55:50.000Constitution, indebted this country, printed money out of thin air, and has led us to this horrible situation where now the people on the left are like, well, if they get in power, they're going to create more war.
00:56:00.000They're going to destroy our Constitution.
00:57:33.000They were attacking Sweden and their own fellow Republican politicians that were like, you know, maybe 15 days to slow the spread is a really bad idea when we allow Walmart to be open but we shut down the small mom-and-pop stores.
00:57:46.000And then the President of the United States at the time attacked that politician very viciously and and you know let's let's let's call it out here let's be let's be honest with ourselves uh because i think this is a major issue of concern and and major issues that are holding the right back from actually achieving something good and again this is why i don't have a lot of faith in the right i have a lot of faith in the american people that don't vote that don't support the system that are sick and tired of this bullcrap and are are taking matters into their own hands by being personally responsible i i think we're on a track to victory to be completely honest i i think we win at the end of all of this
00:58:18.000I think the future will be fifty to a hundred years, the country will be much more patriotic, it will be much more like, as you put it, World War II, greatest generation, you know, go America.
00:58:32.000If we follow the Strauss-Howe generational theory, we are in the fourth turning, which means just by the nature of how generations operate, we are in the worst of it, and the worst of it will create strong men, who will create good times, who will in turn then later on create weak men, but that means The next phase is the first.
00:58:53.000A period of tumult will happen, and then there will be a period where we start picking up and climbing up.
00:58:58.000So I think we're seeing the worst of it now.
00:59:00.000Over the next couple of years, it's predicted to get very bad.
00:59:03.000Maybe it's World War III, maybe it's Civil War, maybe it's Hot War, maybe it's not.
00:59:06.000And then we'll have a period where the strongmen start to rebuild, as we have seen throughout history in this country and many others.
00:59:12.000The other issue that I think is worth pointing out is that conservatives have kids.
00:59:18.000They may not have enough kids, but all that matters is they have twice as many as liberals.
00:59:21.000Liberals are more likely to abort their kids, more likely to sterilize themselves and their kids, and conservatives right now have actually been pushing the talking point of having as many kids as possible, which means we may actually see a boost due to the culture among what I would just refer to as the freedom faction, because it's not just conservatives, it's also disaffected liberals and libertarians.
01:00:21.000I suppose the worst part for people who live in the cities.
01:00:23.000We just saw, in Portland, Coava, a coffee shop, announce finally they were shutting their doors down because the violence and extremism had grown too much for them to handle and they couldn't take care of their employees.
01:00:35.000Industry is collapsing, and they will soon have no access to resources.
01:00:39.000The one benefit the United States had over, say, the Soviet Union, is that when the revolution happened, they top-down just started killing people and implemented their weirdo communist garbage and destroyed everything.
01:00:49.000But we have the Second Amendment, and we're a very, very large country with smaller subcultures within this country.
01:01:22.000Florida became a reliable red state, which means when California collapses under the weight of its Democrat policy garbage, we're now seeing... I covered this story.
01:01:31.000I did a segment on this earlier, but I'm putting it up on Friday.
01:01:34.000Homeless camps popping up in Beverly Hills.
01:01:38.000It means all of these Hollywood celebrities who invested their money in property are not going to have a penny to give grandma because they're going to be underwater.
01:01:48.000Hey, look, I got a $5 million movie contract, so I bought a $10 million house.
01:01:52.000Now I got an $8 million loan on that house, but it's only worth $5 million.
01:02:02.000In places like Texas and Florida, things are getting better.
01:02:04.000In West Virginia, things are getting better.
01:02:06.000But in the big cities, things are getting worse.
01:02:09.000As long as all of this continues, the insulated and somewhat isolated conservative pockets that are thriving, will thrive.
01:02:16.000The institutions of the left will eat themselves and destroy themselves.
01:02:20.000The beer companies will collapse for trying to sell beer to children that don't want to drink it, or I should say to young college kids, destroying their market.
01:02:27.000There's a reason why we say, get woke, go broke.
01:02:31.000Over a long enough period of time we have seen more than enough examples of companies embracing wokeness and then losing money because of it.
01:02:37.000Now of course they have institutional capture, they've got weapons in the federal government, but I don't think in the long run that matters because the weight is pressing on them, not us.
01:02:47.000We are the people who are living outside of the cities, who are leaving these cities and getting away from it, and then thriving.
01:02:52.000Places like Florida, where Ron DeSantis, sure, he locked down, but he reopened up.
01:02:55.000And then people flooded to Florida, where there's beautiful beaches, there's great weather, and people are having a party.
01:03:02.000Texas is turning redder as well because people are coming here because they want freedom.
01:03:06.000Which means, all of the attempts of the left to take over has created an inverse pressure system which is sending people out of their states, which costs them power, which reduces their revenue, reduces their income, reduces their influence.
01:03:21.000And then they abort and sterilize their kids.
01:03:23.000So certainly we want to stop all these bad things, but I think the long run is, if we sat back and just said, stay the course and keep doing everything you're doing, I think in a hundred years it's over, we completely won.
01:03:35.000But if we persist in the culture war and make sure we're homeschooling our kids, make sure we aren't buying Anheuser-Busch products, 20 to 30 years.
01:03:43.00020 to 30 years of conservatives having four kids each, and you've got a voting bloc that has been raised on winning a culture war, and that's all that matters.
01:03:52.000Four times the new voters entering the system, and it's not even 20, it's 18 years.
01:03:55.000In 18 years, from this day, Conservatives can have four more votes per family.
01:04:03.000That's one for you, one for your significant other, and four kids.
01:04:06.000Granted, you're not gonna have four kids all at once, so maybe within the span of 23 years you might have four kids who are of voting age, but liberals aren't gonna have any of that.
01:04:14.000And that's a very optimistic look and perspective to have there, which again is important to kind of explore here.
01:04:20.000But when we have open immigration, when we have populations being replaced in California, in New York, with another voting base that particularly votes left, with them also making very significant moves against the Second Amendment, with them crashing the petrodollar, with a native population crash of the Western world, I think we're dealing with something very severe That could also happen in the exact inverse as you described here, as we're dealing with an anti-human agenda that encourages the destruction of the family unit, stops reproduction, and pushes a larger depopulation agenda that of course is a total totalitarian control grid.
01:04:54.000So on those aspects it could swing either way, but that open immigration problem is something also that I think we should be looking at.
01:05:02.000I think the southern border is a crisis, I think it is an issue, and I think there's a reason why Democrats don't want to shut the border down, to actually control it.
01:05:11.000Given 10 years, California brings in more and more people, and a lot of people on the right say it's because they're voting illegally.
01:06:45.000The people who share our values are so out of touch with how evil the traditional institutions are in this nation.
01:06:54.000The institutions that they previously have attended, That they will not only still patronize these institutions, they'll write them big checks, they'll send their kids there, and then they'll come to neighborhood parties and brag about it.
01:07:07.000And I'll just sit there with my jaw hanging open because I know the love and care that parent took with that kid.
01:07:44.000Do you know how many people we've had on this show who talk about the exact same thing?
01:07:48.000We've had conservative guests come on the show who complain about the left, say, yeah, my kid just got into college, so I'm really excited for that, and I'm like, do you listen to your own videos?
01:08:02.000I go through the same thing with people I know, with people I love.
01:08:05.000The right has such a difficult time accepting where we are.
01:08:10.000And I understand that because that's human nature.
01:08:12.000I don't even just want to indict the right.
01:08:14.000It is human nature to deny the reality of your situation for as long as you possibly can because it's that bad or you don't want to bother with it.
01:08:23.000This is why I laugh and mock people on the right when they say things like, well, we're the silent majority.
01:08:44.000Because you were busy being the silent majority and the communists were busy taking over your public library, taking over your city government, while you were flipping burgers and playing fantasy football.
01:08:57.000And when you explain these things to them, they're shocked.
01:08:59.000I remember this like it was yesterday.
01:09:01.000One night, just one last point on this, one night I'm sitting around the table, there's 10 couples there, and we're all, and I don't talk a lot of politics, they all know what I do, but I don't like to do that at a party, so I just kind of chill and relax.
01:09:11.000But it came up, someone asked me about something, and I brought up ESG.
01:09:15.000Now we're talking with successful people here, all of them, wired in, our value, successful people here.
01:09:21.000Not one man or woman at that table had ever even heard ESG.
01:09:26.000And when I explained what ESG was and told them all, I said, everyone right now, pick up your cell phone and look up your bank.
01:09:33.000I guarantee your bank has a dedicated ESG page on it.
01:09:38.000They all thought I was a nutjob conspiracy theorist.
01:09:41.000You could have heard a pin drop in there over the next five minutes as they discovered the reality of the world they live in.
01:09:47.000Until the normie right that shares normal values realizes it's in a war, a culture war, and there will be one victor that 20 years...
01:10:54.000So we wonder why the Democratic Party's gone full-blown communist in the past 10 years, and yet we still have a bunch of limp-wristed losers running the low-key GOP in this country.
01:11:03.000That's because the communists show up and vote, and what do we do?
01:11:07.000We throw a Trump sticker on our car and say, Donald Trump will save us, and we skip the local primary, or even worse, we show up and vote for the same turd who just voted for everything.
01:11:16.000I agree with you on all that, but I don't think that changes anything I just said.
01:11:21.000It does, because having kids is important, but it's not grabbing the seats of power.
01:11:27.000If you're going to grab kids and still send Aidan off to Stanford, then it's not a net gain.
01:11:32.000That I understand, but that still doesn't matter.
01:11:38.000If someone came to me and said, I am deeply concerned by this new movement of people who are harming themselves, I'd be like, well, over a long enough period of time, they won't exist because they've harmed themselves.
01:11:49.000You could say that about the CCP having the one-child policy, but they didn't destroy themselves because they have such an authoritarian, weaponized system.
01:11:57.000But that's not what I'm talking about.
01:11:58.000See, the thing about the CCP is that they just kidnap and murder people, and while the United States certainly has those capabilities as well, they're not—the U.S.
01:12:06.000has safeguards and protections that I think will be weakened, be damaged, are being eroded, but will probably stand strong enough to where I think over a long enough period of time, a combination of factors, the foundation of this country and the Constitution itself, with all the attacks against it, and the fact that it's big and partially decentralized, more so than many other countries,
01:12:33.000As long as we keep up the culture war battle, as long as we say, don't buy Anheuser-Busch, here's all you gotta do, Jesse, when you have those parties, just let your neighbors, the couples that are coming over, say, hey, don't buy any beer, my treat, I'm taking care of it.
01:12:45.000Then you go and you buy the beer and you don't buy Busch.
01:12:47.000On that one, I will say this for some good news, this was, this past weekend was probably the first weekend I hung out with those same neighbors where, to a man, Every time Dick and Harry showed up and they were all talking about the Bud Light thing and it was all negative.
01:13:02.000This was the thing that really snapped the window.
01:13:16.000When I saw the reaction to the Bud Light story, I said, I think we have an opportunity to reach regular people with this.
01:13:22.000Striking at beer was the biggest mistake they made, but they had to make it.
01:13:25.000I'm imagining there's this great battlefield, and we'll make a metaphor of it, with the woke people looking over a map, and the year is 2011, and they're like, okay, our first move is to send our troops into video games and video game journalism, because older people won't see, and that means the commanders on the right will ignore it.
01:13:44.000It may bother young people, but if we can get a foothold there, we can then spread our troops around and gain control of movies and literature and TV shows.
01:13:54.000And then the lieutenant says, but sir, what about this area?
01:14:11.000And maybe, I don't think so, but maybe, they said, we have gained enough ground and enough institutions to where we can now muster an incursion on beer.
01:14:22.000And they're hoping that the right is weakened any more or less to the point where their weird, insane cult garbage will actually successfully take over beer.
01:14:33.000I'm confident that they don't have the power to do so, especially if forces like ours tell people to resist to this degree.
01:14:41.000The problem I'm having, you guys, and I'm severely black-pilled on voting, maybe you can help me, that they're tallying votes on proprietary voting machines in private makes me feel so given up.
01:14:52.000I just don't want to deviate from the cultural stuff.
01:14:56.000I know the cultural stuff is the victory, that is the win, but we're talking about it's holistically like...
01:15:02.000Your metaphor about raising young conservative kids that then they will vote and fix the system, I don't feel that.
01:15:07.000The voting, I didn't say anything, yes.
01:15:10.000But what I'm saying is, right now, our victory has to be cultural.
01:17:30.000It was not, well, something that came up after a while.
01:17:33.000Everybody, because everyone usually drives golf carts around the neighborhood or just walks to wherever we're going, seeing who's out and about, lawn chairs and stuff like that.
01:17:41.000Everyone, as they walked up, was talking about it.
01:17:44.000It was the number one subject on everyone's mind.
01:18:55.000What we're actually doing is, we're sitting inside the courtyard of a castle, and we're coming at each other about what color the drapes should be, and how tall the buildings should be, while the enemy hordes are coming through the front gates to kill us all.
01:19:08.000We stop the left first, or all these arguments the right has about what should or shouldn't be, they're all meaningless.
01:20:10.000The right is now actively and angrily pushing back in a way that's unprecedented.
01:20:17.000The way it's always been viewed before is that the left is pulling the entire country as hard as possible leftward, and the right was only resisting a little bit.
01:20:28.000Or a better way to explain it is Republicans or Democrats driving the speed limit.
01:20:32.000Now, the chain's snapped, the Democrats have driven off the edge, and Republicans are stopping and saying, no more, we're not moving.
01:20:39.000This is the point where we've actually seen active resistance to the woke takeover after a long period of time.
01:20:50.000Because, you know, I see the only way the left wins is if People on the right stop and say, you know what, I agree with the left and then join them.
01:20:59.000Because what we're facing right now is their cities are crumbling.
01:21:04.000What they're trying to do is destabilize police departments, destabilize cities in an effort to take things over.
01:21:10.000de Blasio said during lockdowns that something to the effect of buying up property as prices collapse and then converting it to public housing.
01:21:19.000But these policies only result in them losing influence and power, because despite what they may hope with ESG and all that stuff, meritocracy still has a large grip.
01:21:30.000True capitalism still has a large grip.
01:21:32.000If you can't make money, you can't get power from it.
01:21:35.000They can try and manipulate using the Federal Reserve, they can try and give out loans and all that stuff, but they still need to be able to garner influence, and for the first time, probably in forever, the right stuck a stake in the ground and said, we're not moving.
01:21:47.000Now they're dealing with a collapse in their own influence and resistance at the same time.
01:21:52.000I look at it mathematically and say if every if I were to step back from all of this and just go into a tower and watch and I started doing the math the math to me looks like it will be a hard-fought battle but the right will win either through attrition or through perseverance.
01:22:08.000What concerns me, we're in Austin right now.
01:22:09.000I went around for a walk earlier today and I saw like some signs in yards like Beto O'Rourke, trans rights are humans rights.
01:22:16.000And I'm like, you know what, when I was in LA, we would have parties where I'd go to a party, there'd be a trans guy or girl, there'd be someone that barely spoke English, there'd be a communist, there'd be a conservative Christian like and we'd all get along and we would all talk politics and we would all get along but I go to this website I keep James Lindsay brought this up beautiful trouble org it's a training website on how to do direct violent action creatively and it's like a pop-up get in trouble it says so like how do you combat or resist active attempts to organize destruction
01:22:50.000Active attempts to organize destruction.
01:23:50.000That's what gave them their true power.
01:23:53.000That's why any organized crime in any area that really takes hold, the reason they can keep out other organized crime, when you think they just go shoot them in, it's because he's just going to have... Like the cartels in Mexico, half the times they use the cops to kill you.
01:24:06.000The cops will show up, arrest you, take you out, and shoot you in the face.
01:24:09.000The problem we have in America is They own the FBI, they own the DOJ, they own the CIA, they own the NSA, from up on high, from the president on down.
01:24:20.000Oh wow, you're a pro-life guy reading Bible verses in an abortion clinic?
01:24:25.000Abortion, felony, try to put him away forever.
01:24:29.000You're some, I think it was a transsexual guy today, attacked a Catholic church, DOJ is recommending no charges.
01:24:36.000You don't have the guys on top, and that's the issue.
01:24:39.000And to a certain degree I think it is, but confidence is the principal issue.
01:24:43.000And the reason why many judges won't uphold the law is because they fear Antifa.
01:24:49.000Now you can say there's a component of this in Antifa will get away with crimes, therefore Antifa is more confident in committing crimes and getting away with it.
01:24:55.000But it all, to me, looks like one big Mexican standoff.
01:24:59.000I see a bunch of people standing in a crowd who don't like wokeness, but will not be the person to say anything because they think everyone will then turn to them.
01:25:09.000The average person in my opinion, let's look at that business in Portland, Coava, that shut down.
01:25:14.000I'm willing to bet that these people who work at this cafe in downtown Portland would put flyers in the window saying Black Lives Matter and, you know, in this house we believe science is real and go Biden 2020.
01:25:53.000Even their capitulation to the far-left extremists and their feigning of support for them still resulted in the destruction of their business.
01:26:05.000That's why I'm like, look, Confidence is everything.
01:26:09.000If at any point people no longer have confidence in law enforcement, law enforcement may as well not exist.
01:26:16.000If you don't think a cop can do anything to you, you won't listen to that cop.
01:26:20.000In the United States, we do fear the police because we are confident if we break the law we will get arrested and we will go to jail and the book will be thrown at us.
01:26:28.000Now we're starting to see in these big cities, that ain't true.
01:26:31.000So crime is running rampant and people are doing whatever they want, which is resulting in economic collapse.
01:26:36.000The seeds of power may be beneficial, but only so far as human beings are actually working on a system that can maintain itself, right?
01:26:47.000When we talk about third, fourth, and fifth generational warfare, the question is, if you could take over a country without firing a single bullet, Would you do it?
01:26:57.000If you wanted to take over a country, and there was a means by which you could do it without firing a single bullet or engaging in any violent action, would you do it?
01:27:16.000In order to have power, people have to do things that benefit them and empower them.
01:27:21.000So if they're a judge, if they're in charge of law enforcement in a city with no people, they have nothing.
01:27:28.000Those seats of power are completely meaningless if confidence in those cities is shattered.
01:27:33.000To simplify it even to a greater degree, if there are a hundred people and one person becomes the chief of police, so long as those people keep working and paying taxes and they believe that chief of police has power, That Chief of Police can get those people to do whatever he wants.
01:27:48.000He can then implement changes, he can put up whatever flag he wants, and those people fear him.
01:27:53.000But if it comes to a point where, no matter what happens, these people are failing and their businesses are destroyed, they're just going to say, the system doesn't exist.
01:28:01.000And I'll give you another example of where I think this is going and why I think this.
01:28:05.000The Founding Fathers talked about the right of the presumption of innocence, rooted in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
01:28:12.000The idea that it is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer is not just about protecting individuality.
01:28:19.000It was about protecting the system itself.
01:28:22.000If you have a society where everyone believes that no matter what they do, whether they're good or bad, they will be punished, well then there's no incentive to be good at all.
01:28:31.000Look, I'm gonna go work my job and be honest, but those guys are destroying everything, they're stealing everything, and they're not getting arrested.
01:28:42.000If the system says, if you're a good person, we will do everything in our power to make sure the weight of government is never pressed against you, you will have the presumption of innocence, then the pressure is created that says to a person, be the innocent one, don't be the criminal, and the system will make sure you are safe.
01:29:01.000So now that they're creating cities and institutions that punish people no matter what they do, they're actually gutting and destroying their own structures, their own institutions, their own power base.
01:29:12.000And that's why I was saying, so long as these cities and places like Florida and Texas exist that are turning redder, or West Virginia, They can do whatever they want.
01:29:20.000They're knocking the legs out from their own structures, and we're building up ours stronger and better than ever.
01:29:27.000I think that with San Francisco, I see the homeless, I keep hearing about how horrible it is, and part of me has this malicious grin on the inside, where I'm like, good, they deserved it.
01:29:37.000Then the other part of me is like, am I a horrible human for feeling that way?
01:29:41.000What's wrong with me that I would enjoy that?
01:31:38.000The truth is, like the old saying goes, you gotta walk up to it as a kid and touch it, and then it's, oh my goodness, I'm never touching it again.
01:31:46.000The people have not experienced enough pain for their stupidity yet, and the greatest thing you can do for a stupid person is allow that stupid person to suffer under their stupidity, because it's the only chance a stupid person can become smart.
01:31:59.000Yeah, but I think, I wouldn't take the approach you're taking in the outright gloating that you think they'll suffer.
01:32:16.000I'm gloating because this is why I'm gloating.
01:32:19.000Because I'm tired of coddling voters on the left and the right, and I ride the right about this all the time.
01:32:24.000You heard me do it earlier when it comes to primaries.
01:32:26.000You whine about, there's too much cheating, and there is cheating, I admit that, and there's too much this, and then you sit at home and don't show up for a primary vote, you don't show up for city council vote, and they vote for all of it.
01:33:11.000But what will matter is, if you go to someone in Chicago, and they, if someone, I've had people from Chicago come to me and talk to me about this stuff.
01:33:19.000And I simply say, like, I don't understand the problem.
01:33:21.000They'll be like, yeah, there was like a shooting that happened on my street.
01:34:03.000Yeah, but my approach, once you've done year after year, decade after decade after decade of the same behavior and same behavior and same behavior and same behavior, burning you, burning you, burning you, burning you, burning you, it's very clear that there's no approach.
01:34:17.000Look, the right is taking every approach.
01:34:19.000There's no approach that's going to convince you of anything else, you're going to have to experience pain.
01:34:26.000It doesn't matter how I tell my son a different way not to touch the griddle.
01:35:16.000And every year, a different type of cooking device is placed before them that they don't understand.
01:35:21.000Well, the upside is, once you touch a hot, glowing red piece of iron, you know that all those other glowing red hot things, you don't touch those either.
01:35:29.000I've never touched lava, and I won't, because I did touch a stove one time when I was little.
01:35:33.000But let's be honest, I don't think they're going to learn.
01:35:35.000I mean, I agree with you that pain and suffering are a great way to kind of teach yourself and to learn and sacrifice, but that's not what's happening here.
01:35:43.000And when I look at Chicago, when I look at New York City, I don't feel gleeful.
01:35:46.000I feel kind of sad because I see people stuck in this endless horrible loop and so much human suffering that they're bringing upon themselves.
01:35:53.000How do you solve that is a problem that I think is very difficult and I think more complex than just Oh, I don't celebrate the condition of America's cities.
01:36:02.000America's cities, or any nation's cities, they're what goes on your billboard.
01:36:53.000Stop voting for people based on skin color!
01:36:55.000The white people did it, the Latinos did it, the black people did it.
01:36:58.000The white liberal women did it, the black people did it, and the Latinos did it.
01:37:00.000The white liberal women voted for the black candidate because white liberal women have an outgroup preference.
01:37:04.000So you can actually look at the regions, the racial map in Chicago, and see the different neighborhoods based on race.
01:37:11.000And you can see that in white neighborhoods, it was the white candidates, and a little bit of Brandon Johnson, the far left candidate.
01:37:18.000But in the black neighborhoods, the top candidates were all black, even if they were some of the lower-polling candidates for the rest of the city.
01:37:24.000Well, I would change my voting behavior then.
01:37:25.000So I predicted Brandon Johnson would win for one reason.
01:37:29.000White voters were mobilized to vote because of the high crime, but black voters still voted for Lori Lightfoot.
01:37:35.000She didn't win because white voters finally mobilized.
01:37:38.000But in the northern part of Chicago, where there's universities, These are younger people.
01:37:48.000This resulted in a split vote, which led to a runoff between Vallis and Johnson.
01:37:52.000And so my prediction was, if every one of these areas votes based on race, combined with the far left voting for the out group and the far leftist, Johnson will win.
01:38:02.000And sure enough, that's what happened.
01:38:04.000But we're gonna go to Super Chats, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com, because we're gonna have that members-only show coming up for you at about 10, 10 p.m.
01:38:16.000Eastern, but let's read your Super Chats for now.
01:38:19.000All right, let's see what we got here.
01:40:48.000I'm like, well, you know, like you're saying, like, you'll touch the stove, it will hurt, and then one day you'll say, I shouldn't have done that.
01:40:54.000And maybe that's hopefully what we get out of it.
01:41:04.000This is a little, maybe you can answer this quickly.
01:41:05.000What are the characteristics of the people that are creating crime in the cities that people should watch out for when they're going to the polls?
01:41:21.000If you're going to have every white woman vote for the black candidate, if you're going to have every black person vote for the black candidate, then What are we talking about here?
01:41:36.000And you could say, well, history or tradition, OK, well, whatever the reason, the reasons don't matter.
01:41:41.000If you're going to go vote for the black candidate every time and they're going to dig up a black communist to run for office every time, you're going to get ruled by communists and your city's going to be hell.
01:41:53.000Chrome Gear IRL says, it makes sense to me now why it was required for me to listen to NPR on my sociology class on my local community college back in 2003.
01:43:26.000People may see this, and then be like, I better sell now.
01:43:30.000Because if this story's not going away after two weeks, You know, some people might think you're going to lose money, right?
01:43:37.000And that's what ends up happening in these panic stock cycles.
01:43:40.000When the stock starts selling off, people say, I better sell now before it's worthless.
01:43:44.000If I'm in at 100 bucks on, you know, if I buy a Bitcoin at 30 grand and the price is dropping, I better sell at 27 before it hits A thousand, and that causes it to drop further and further and further.
01:44:24.000He says we're not going to carry this stuff, you know?
01:44:28.000John Rich didn't come out like Kid Rock with the machine gun.
01:44:30.000John Rich came out and just said, hey, look, man, over the past week, we've not moved any of this product, and I've got to consider if people aren't going to buy it, what am I going to do?
01:44:38.000So his attitude is probably more like, hey, look, I get it.
01:44:56.000Yeah, they could dump that Anheuser-Busch brand name and just go try and mask what they're doing, but it's InBev that you want to watch out for.
01:45:04.000James Garlick says you can take our NFL, you can take our children, but when you take our beer, that's when we get mad.
01:45:10.000Also, Timpool, the reason you got hate for the Mario movie review is because you didn't understand the deep lore and Nintendo fans are fierce lore nuts.
01:45:18.000What, uh, what of the lore didn't I understand, though?
01:46:20.000And this is the craziest thing to me because Luke and I walked out of that movie and Luke started making fun of it because Princess Peach is invincible.
01:47:07.000Princess Peach's storyline could have happened without Mario in it at all.
01:47:12.000Yeah, so Mario's storyline is a one big accident, and Princess Peach's storyline is the hero of her kingdom fighting Bowser and saving the day.
01:47:22.000And in the end, I'll try to avoid being too spoilery, let me just put it this way.
01:47:54.000But people, people, uh... It's the weirdest thing.
01:47:57.000When the movie trailers first came out, a bunch of people said it was woke, girl boss, feminist cringe.
01:48:03.000And I was like, I don't know, I don't care.
01:48:04.000And then I saw a bunch of conservatives saying it's not woke.
01:48:07.000That's what I've seen, that's what I was going to see.
01:48:08.000And they're like, it made a whole bunch of money for rejecting wokeness.
01:48:11.000And then I was like, I'm just confused by that, because when Ghostbusters 2016 came out, the big criticism was that all the women are Mary Sues, they're all really smart and capable and they develop this technology, and the men were all really stupid.
01:48:23.000And then when I went and saw Mario, I was like, oh yeah, it's like that.
01:49:12.000And I have conservatives arguing to me that it's not woke.
01:49:14.000And I said, okay, if the conservatives have moved the peg to the point where the traditional damsel in distress character is actually the kung fu heroine Who is the one who actually never gets hurt, and already has the abilities, then the goalposts have shifted from 2013, where we would have called that feminist cringe, and that just means to me that the right is losing.
01:49:36.000So, a lot of people say, look, Princess Peach can fight in Smash Bros.
01:49:40.000Princess Peach is a playable character in Mario 2, which is an OG game from the 80s.
01:49:45.000Super Princess Peach, she has her own video game.
01:49:47.000She's a playable character who fights in Mario RPG and Paper Mario.
01:50:58.000There were a bunch of nostalgia references.
01:51:00.000I think the movie's primary audience was 35 year old men who have kids and want to be nostalgic about Mario and these video games and the games they played.
01:51:09.000And, uh, they probably, you know, don't really care about the feminist tropes or whatever.
01:51:15.000My point is simply that, like, people are saying, it's a traditional hero's journey, Tim.
01:51:43.000Bowser's motivation has already been set.
01:51:45.000It's completely immaterial to anything having to do with Mario and Luigi.
01:51:49.000When Mario goes to Princess Peach, his presence there has no meaning whatsoever on the conflict that's already occurring in the Mario universe.
01:51:56.000When Bowser's fortress finally arrives to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario's not there, and Princess Peach is the one who confronts him.
01:52:03.000Princess Peach is the one who chooses to surrender to him.
01:52:06.000In which she gets captured, but it was all a ruse.
01:52:09.000She then, you know, like, I don't want to spoil too much.
01:53:47.000So when we're able to say we can sink a million dollars into a project over one year in this town, that speaks to people.
01:53:57.000And when they say all that stuff does is like it's a weird event, why do we care about that?
01:54:02.000Simply put, we have the means to expand this business, buy more properties, and have tremendous influence over this town in a positive way that is good for the people who live there and pushes back on the woke garbage.
01:54:33.000TV's on the walls, Steven Crowder playing.
01:54:36.000And then you're like, I don't know, whatever, and you go buy a coffee.
01:54:38.000And then you sit down and you're drinking your coffee, and then the next few that plays is Viva Frye, Robert Barnes, Tim Kast, or Jesse Kelly.
01:54:45.000The idea is, regular people will come to buy coffee, but we will just make sure we are exerting our cultural influence in these spaces.
01:55:31.000My personal opinion is everyone would be better off running their own brand, running their own website, and that's what the goal of, you know, the open source.
01:58:12.000And yeah, I was this is my concern about talking about Bud Light is are we being manipulated by the algorithm to promote Bud Light and make them money in the long run?
01:58:20.000I think, Tim, your argument about because not all press is good press.
01:58:23.000So boycotts are definitely a form of negative press that can hinder a company.
01:58:31.000Crayson says, the creator of Mario literally said that he is meant to be an average guy.
01:58:36.000And that's fine, and I can respect that, but when I play Mario RPG, one of the greatest Mario games of all time, he's actually talked about as the greatest jumper of all time.
01:59:43.000Joshua Mosk says, I do agree with your theory that if we had 20 years and conservatives had a lot of children, thanks for change, but if you look at our world and compare it to the Bible, we are heading to the end of days we don't have 20 years.
01:59:56.000No, it's the end of the story of the Bible, not the end of days.
01:59:59.000It's the apocalypse, which is the great unveiling.
02:00:02.000And that's what's happening is the data is being revealed, our personalities and our Desires are being revealed on a global scale, and there's the communist thing.
02:00:11.000There's all these different, you know.

02:01:35.000Maybe the reason the Bible story is coming to a close in these days, this is the apocalypse, and the end of the Bible story is because another story is about to begin.
02:01:43.000So it'll probably look back and see us as part of that story.
